Scorching-hot Rays open pivotal series at Fenway
First-place Red Sox look to cool down Tampa Bay club on roll
The longer the Rays keep up their winning ways, the harder it is becoming to question the legitimacy of their run. Then again, they still haven't caught the Red Sox.
Tampa Bay is the hottest team in Major League Baseball since June 23, having won 19 of 23 games in that span and 17 of its last 19 after Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays in Toronto. However, winning a series in Boston such as the four-game set that begins on Monday in Fenway Park would go a long way toward silencing any doubters who think the Rays have been the beneficiaries of a favorable schedule.
The Rays have won seven consecutive series. Their last series loss came in mid-June, when they dropped two of three to the Red Sox (60-40), also at Fenway Park.
As impressive as the Rays have been recently, they had a losing record against the AL East before the All-Star break, and the Red Sox played a large role in that.
Tampa Bay is 3-9 against Boston so far this season, but Monday may be the club's best opportunity to improve that mark.
The Rays will send All-Star left-hander Matt Moore to the mound, while Boston will turn to rookie Brandon Workman.
Moore set a Rays record by becoming the first Tampa Bay pitcher to amass 13 wins before the break, an accomplishment that not even teammate David Price could match on his way to winning the AL Cy Young Award last season.
Moore has struggled with his command at times, entering Monday with the fifth-worst walk rate (4.6 per nine innings) in the big leagues.
"Getting ahead early is big for me," Moore said. "When I do that, I can go to my other pitches and the game goes smoother."
Workman, meanwhile, has shown plenty of promise. He started Boston's final game before the All-Star break and carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning of a 3-2 loss to the A's in Oakland. Josh Donaldson hit a two-run home run in the seventh that knocked Workman out of the game.
"As well as he pitched against a very good team in Oakland -- and we're going to have a team that's coming in here as hot as anyone in the game right now -- the one thing that he does is he throws a lot of strikes," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
"I think the one thing that we're learning, at least at the Major League staff, is that this is a guy who has kind of quiet confidence about him and doesn't fear the setting in which he's performing."
Rays: Loney returns as a father
The Rays were able to take the first two games from the Blue Jays without one of their most consistent hitters, but James Loney's bat was back in the lineup on Sunday.
Loney missed the first two games after the break while on the paternity list, as his wife, Nadia, gave birth to the couple's first son, James Jordan, on Thursday.
"It's definitely an amazing feeling," Loney said. "You don't know what to really expect until it happens. It's a feeling like no other."
Red Sox: Victorino back in action
• Shane Victorino returned to the Red Sox's lineup on Sunday after tightness in his left hamstring held the veteran outfielder out of Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Yankees. Victorino didn't waste much time finding a way to contribute, going 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
Victorino was placed on the disabled list after straining the same hamstring in May. He has started 61 games in right field for Boston this season and is hitting .290.
• Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia admitted that it's difficult for the Red Sox to avoid occasionally taking notice of the standings, especially with Tampa Bay making a sustained run.
"I think you can't help but look at them," Saltalamacchia said. "They're everywhere. You turn on the TV, they're on ESPN; they're on the plane; watching the game, they say it out loud. So, yeah, you know where everybody's at. At the same time, it doesn't matter at the time. At the end of the season is when the standings count."
Worth noting
• This is only the second time in team history the Rays have reeled off three straight wins following the All-Star break. They previously did it in 2009 at Kansas City.
• The Red Sox roughed up Moore during his only prior appearance at Fenway, striking for six runs in 6 1/3 innings in a 6-4 win last April 15.

Living Water: How a Remarkable Chemical Shaped the Land and Life of Earth
From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.

From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.
This two-part series is adapted from a sermon originally delivered at Jacksonville Chapel on January 18, 2015. The sermon series of which these posts are derived was, in turn, adapted from a similar series by pastor John Ortberg.
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
The prevailing evangelical view that evolution is in competition with the biblical account of creation sets up students to encounter a false dichotomy, where they feel they must choose between science or their faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
When a Christian explores divine action in nature, that person also moves into the realm of revealed purpose and meaning of existence—each of which emanate from within the triune God who is love.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?

Also XBMC-xvba branch doesnt seem to help much . This is the only major issue I am stumbling and makes me go back to Windows (quiet even when playing full 1080p) just for the sake of playing videos without my laptop sounding like a jet engine...

all this on my AMD Radeon 6370M on a HP G42-478TX laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 and fglrx 13.1 with Linux 3.7.6

PS. Laptops+Dedicated cards = always higher temperatures because the cooling system has to cope not only with the CPU but also with the dedicated card. The fan speeds are regulated by both mobo/CPU and GPU temperatures, so any of them overheat, the system will spin them up.

Killed at Launch
This actually happened. An e-commerce website had been designed and developed. Launch had been initiated, and it was abruptly taken offline in mid-air.
I became involved with this project just as the website was launching and advised the decommissioning. This was not a comfortable position for me to take with my new client: advising them to shut down their site.
Pulling it offline was an even more difficult decision for the owner. After all, this was not my client's hobby. They were expecting this website to provide them with a living.
This project was a typical e-commerce site with one significance difference: the site hosted multiple stores (under a single domain), with a similar look and feel for each. The stores were managed individually, but offered products for sale through a common shopping cart.
It should go without saying that the complexity of the design, development, and deployment almost surpasses comprehension. Creating a "multi-vendor" website is a savagely nontrivial task.
The original quote my new client had recieved from their vendor was a measly $10,000 (a website of this magnitude typically costs in the range of $75-100K). When all was said and done, the final cost jumped to over $25,000. How could the initial estimate be so far off (two times)? This simple answer is that the scope of the project was never properly defined, and gross mismanagement completely ignored front-end and back-end users.
Management Mayhem
It takes many skillsets to build, deploy, and manage modern websites: project management, graphic design (creative), software engineering, software development, usability testers, website beta test management, marketing, and client management.
As I see it, the cause of most website failures is little or no project management. "No need to define and manage, lets just build something and see what becomes of the website," seems to go the thinking.
The customer in this case learned after the project failure just how blindly they'd gone into site design and how poorly the project was managed. When I asked what happened, the details came pouring out:
- "There was never a roadmap for the website's design, form, fit, and function."
- "Page layout design wireframes were never defined and presented to us for review and acceptance."
- "There was no formal project acceptance criteria provided."
- "We did not know enough about the design an development process to have any doubts regarding the website vendor's abilities."
- "We were an experiment for our website vendor."
- "They learned how manage website development from our project."
- "During the sixteen months of the project lifecycle, there were many organization changes."
- "The deploy environment was basically launch the website and see what happens."
- "We did not know any better, as website development deployment was new to us."
There had been no bridge between the website customer to the vendor's creative staff. The customer tried to develop "crude" graphics to show them the desired look and feel for website. The customer was the designer.
I find the statements from my beleaguered client chilling. Plenty of them give reason enough for website shutdown decisions prior to launch.
A Ruined Experience
As I mentioned earlier, this website was to provide multi-vendor ecommerce services, where vendors could set up a their own unique shop identities and publish products—including photos—linked to them. This capability required an easy to use content management system. The website was neither alpha or beta tested with users. Instead it was fully launched as a means of testing.
Furthermore, the shopping cart had to hold product orders form multiple vendors. The ordering system had to process orders and notify multiple vendors for product shipment. The website vendor's answer was to use the free and open source CMS Joomla an add-on module called the IXXO Multivendor Shopping Cart designed for guru-level IT personnel, not the casual user.
Pity the poor vendor, thrown through pages on Joomla component pages with weird names like: Banner, D-Mack Recommend Friends, Jumi, and LyftenBloggi.
The site owner tried to support about six early adaptor vendors though the UX nightmare, but they hadn't seen the content management and multivendor shopping cart administrative pages prior to launch. After more than two weeks of attempting to support early adaptor vendors, things were going nowhere: pulling the website offline was the only solution I could see.
How The?
How did this happen? The one and only website software developer was young and inexperienced. He selected the Joomla and IXXO software for without discussing it with anyone, including the website customer. The website vendor was a creative-centric enterprise with low experience in software development and a void of UX and usability skills.
The form, fit, and function of the entire website—particularly the content management, multivendor shopping, and the customer interaction—was not shared with the website customer. Sixteen months of design and development more than $25,000 wasted, to say nothing of the lost market opportunity.
How to Never Do This
Bad UX, front-end and back-end, can kill a website. There are finer points (don't deploy general-purpose software modules for a narrow purpose to save time or money), but more crucially, the client needs to be involved from day one.
Engage a full team of website deployment project members, covering all of the disciplines required. Above all else, have a full-time, experienced UX professional available on the website development team. You can't start a user experience review two weeks before launch.
If you ever hear anyone asking, "Hey, can you look over this website? We are just about ready to launch," be very afraid.

re: "...how do you get these 100K-250K projects without a team of devs, marketing people, usability testers, etc?"
The answer is you cannot and should not attempt large projects without a team of multiple skill set disciplines. Your question, is a worthy one deserving some comments. I apologize for only providing general top-level comments as fully answering your question could end up being a few book chapters. First realize that a large project is 80% define, design (both creative and development approach), project management, pre and post client acceptance, UX, and testing, et al. With the remaining 20% resource requirements being the actual code development and debug. This should right away tell you that kind of resources you need on your team for large website projects. Googling phrases like "web development structure" and "web development roles" will help you here. You need team members that you know and trust both from the aspects of skill set competence and business ethics. The latter being the most important. I would suggest starting with smaller website projects by teaming up with one or two other project members. This will generate revenue while you achieve-—and sometimes loose for lack of delivery-—team members you are 100% comfortable with for even larger projects. You must be willing to take on the team leadership here to be to glue that keeps the growing team bound together. Realize that others are in your boat of being a "lone eagle" designer or developer and want to be a website dev team member without the burden of team leadership that are just shy enough not to speak up. You seek these lonely "lone eagles" by asking around in any ways that you can come up with such as forums, blogs, and open source projects. Social networks like Twitter and Linkedin are good places to advertise that you are looking for website project team members. No of this will happen overnight, you have to work hard at this and demonstrate leadership.
re: "....there is so much competition for clients that want impossible results on shoe-strings budgets."
MARS, it appears that you already know enough to avoid these these types of clients. For other readers here, I emphasize that you want to avoid those, "We want a compelling web site without spending much money," situations regardless of how hungry you are for work. These work relationships almost always end up to to be, "I wish that I had said no to this job."
re: "...or you have to be able to fool some company that you have the skills to do it."
Fooling the client will just dig a deeper and agonizing hole for you to climb out of, after you and/or you client realize that you will not be able to deliver on time, on budget. Furthermore, these situations can rather quickly turn litigious for lack of non-delivery of functionality. So don't ever think about trying this approach.
This was a very eye-opening article for me. I've been a web designer for nearly 10 years, and in the last 5 years i've been coding HTML/CSS. Only now am i learning Jquery but it's much easier for me than before. The point for me is trying to answer a question that has alluded me for a long time and that is, how do you get these 100K-250K projects without a team of devs, marketing people, usability testers, etc? I'm guessing you just don't, or you have to be able to fool some company that you have the skills to do it. That's why there is so much competition for clients that want impossible results on shoe-strings budgets. How does one get on a team of with other skilled people and go after these larger contracts. I'm 34 years old and i still haven't found the right people to work with so have settled at being a lone freelancer. I'm wondering if i'll ever get the chance to work for high profile clients or with the right team to build beautiful applications that have the budgets to do user tests and build products closely with the client, where i understand the full circle or gamut of what it takes to Define, Research, Strategize, Prototype, test, Build out, Test again and just repeat that process to prove quantitative growth based on doing things right and therefore increasing the teams value proposition.
I hate trading hours for work and deeply need to be challenged. I love to design and do UX but i'm hoping someone can give me direction as to how to build a group and what to consider when going after big contracts. I haven't given up and that's important to me but i'm hoping someday i hit the right avenues and join the elite of UX designers with a strong team that only takes on a few, interesting and high paying contracts a year.
Thanks for letting me rant:)
Great article.
Good project management is so vital to web development projects for both developer and customer.
re: I'm curious about how the company decided on their developer. What was the company's process in selecting a third party designer and developer?
The company selected their website development service provider based on two parameters:
1. The website company owner had frequently driven by the service provider's
neighborhood storefront for a couple of years. Assumption was, albeit naive, that
if the service provider enterprise had be around for awhile that it must be a legitimate
a website service provider business.
2. The low price quoted by the service provider to the potential website customer.
The website service provider price quoted could have been 1) low ball to get the job or 2) inexperience of the service provider in designing (the internal business logic code), developing, and deploying a multi-vendor e-commerce website. I suspect the later, but have no basis fact per my opinion.
My article briefly mentions required skill sets—there are many—necessary to define, design, develop a website. Creative types do not want to deal with software development. Software Developers do not want to burdened with providing beautiful look-and-feel websites.
We have website service providers founded by Creative types where software development takes a second fiddle in terms of available resources and allowable project influence. The flip site is a website service provider founded by Software Developer types where there is a lack of available Creative resources thus with little or no website end result outcome influence.
While these two discipline groups will socially join and bind based on a work related environment, neither whats to hear about or deal with the other groups issues and work requirements. Team to team "don't bother me, I'm (we're) busy" is frequently the day to day mantra.
I observe that there is only a small percentage of website service providers who will provide you with a well balanced—equal influence—team of Creative and Software Development resources. Certainly, though, something that you should look for in selecting a website service provider. Need I to say, "check for available and professionally strong UX resources too"? Above all else, a good website UX can make the difference between the succes or failure of a newly launched website.
"If you ever hear anyone asking, "Hey, can you look over this website? We are just about ready to launch," be very afraid." - Fantastic!
I worked on a project where I tried to push the launch abort button and got overruled and it was a disaster. Sometimes not having a website can be a better UX than having a bad website.
The site should have provided users with account info for a major telco, but the "throw designs over the wall" production process to an outsourced team meant that 6 months of user testing with prototypes were rendered useless by unbelievably poor execution.
At least it's fun to look back and laugh now.
I'm curious about how the company decided on their developer. What was the company's process in selecting a third party designer and developer?
I've heard this same story all too often before and your analysis is correct in bringing up the faults with mismanagement, poor communication, and too-late testing.
But many times, the company itself had made bad decisions in the first step of choosing a partner to work on the development and should take full responsibility for the substandard work that resulted. Instead of investing in an agency or small design/development company with experience in project management and the type of complex CMS they needed, they opted instead for the cheapest choice possible: an individual with no experience or an overseas company with no project manager or a work ethic that centers on line-by-line requirements.
Honestly, what could they have expected with a $10k bid on a project that size??? Already, that low price should have shot off red flags left and right.
Ben Franklin said it best: "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."
Following is just FYI, because the issue has been raised in this forum by some of you:
Information Week Commentary "Why Tech Projects Fail: 5 Unspoken Reasons"
re: This is all too common and usually comes down to very bad management decisions
Yeah, for sure. I enjoyed your dumb and dumber project failure story. I could write a text book full of project failures after 50 years of being involved with high-tech projects.
What continues to amaze me is that I seem the same scenario project failure scripts with each new generation of project managers, CTOs, CIOs, and CEOs.
re: Could this be THE Pete Mackie from my Atari 800 / ANALOG / Antic Magazine days?!!!!
Sorry no. My 50 year plus high-tech work career, first in electronics, then 35 yeas for software development and publishing has been based from Portland, Oregon USA.
My opinion is that the client is to blame for this fiasco (first place). Typical Zuckerberg scenario. Trying to have success for a penny! Second place is the vendor or better the 'attic developer'. Or he/she is completely ignorant or tried to make some money by fooling the client. Client and Vendor both fooled each other i think. I don't know if the initial quote had all the required stuff in it (bullet list from -details came pouring out- above), but if the client started asking these questions during or at the end of the project, it's pretty sad.
Common sense: Can you build me a car similar to a Porsche 911 TURBO? Yes, i can do this for $10.000,-! (probably won't have an engine, is made of plastic and has no interior).
Asking: Can you build me car similar to a Porsche 911 TURBO, similar engine specifications, same top speed, leather interior, 3 years warranty, etc etc. Yes, i can do this for $ 100.000,-
This is all too common and usually comes down to very bad management decisions. Of course, it's not just web sites. I have a client who is replacing the system I wrote for them that has been running their company very successfully for 12 years. The new CEO just came in and made a sweeping decision without any knowledge and is now paying $2 million for a new system that does half as much as the current system. No joke. The guy working the install from the new software vendor asked the IT mgr the other day "Why did you buy our system? It only does about half as much as your existing system." It's a LAN-based system and I could have moved it to the web for much less than $1 million. Everybody in the know has been scratching their heads over this one for quite some time and it's all attributable to a shoot-from-the-hip, completely ignorant decision by the new CEO.
re: 25K for a 16 month project? Sounds like an intern scoped it ...
It was not even a an intern. Instead, it was a creative service provider shop who thought they could also provide the software development services too. There was not a software developer on staff when the project was quoted to the client.
Sadly, there are a lot of people in this business who take a couple of terms of HTML coding at that local Community College and think that they are qualified website developers. Work referrals come from a friend of my second cousin.
re: Pete, it is always interesting to hear about failure stories. It seems the client was unrealistic with the budget from the beginning though especially as there were so many customizations needed.
It was not the clients budget. Instead it was the service provider's budget as an estimated, not firm, price quote. The client had very little experience with computers and zero experience with defining an launching an e-commerce web site. The client committed to an contract based on the amount provided by the creative and website, service provider. The client accepted the quoted fee without obtaining other service provider estimates. If you are inexperienced in this field how does one compare and select the proper serviced provider over another if you have no experience in comparing service providers? In this case one might select one with the lowest quote price, which may or may not be the right decision.
re: 75k-100k? You are still way off the mark. This is what one would spend on a microsite, not a multi-vendor commerce storefront.
Yes, I agree. At launch time we were well over the $100K milestone.
We did start with the Magento e-commerce core code base platform, which saved considerable design and development. We extended Magento to support multivendor sellers. I had many developer doubters telling me that it would be a difficult, if not impossible, task to multivendor Magento. We succeeded with this task with less design and development difficulty than I expected. What surprised me the most was that the server-side internal business logic was a moving target for a few months.
Thanks Pete, interesting article. I know its easy to be wise with hindsight; even so this sort of story scares me. Did they ever launch? What remedial action needed to be taken?
Yes, they did launch some year plus later. Their website has been successful beyond expectations. There was no service provider remedial actions taken, for two reasons:
1. The creative, and to a lesser degree website, service provider was small firm with little or no funds that we could attach.
2. Lawyers are most expensive with little or nothing left for the plaintiff out of any settlement obtained.
Instead, we decided to move beyond the past mistakes and concentrate on a new, starting over, website design and deployment. In retrospect, I can comfortably say that was indeed the right decision.
Pete, it is always interesting to hear about failure stories. It seems the client was unrealistic with the budget from the beginning though especially as there were so many customisations needed.
75k-100k? You are still way off the mark. This is what one would spend on a microsite, not a multi-vendor ecommerce storefront.

James Eastham, Chief of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Urology Service, talks about how our prostate cancer experts collaborate to maximize the likelihood of curing the cancer and limiting the side effects of treatment.
I am a surgeon who specializes in nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy for the treatment of prostate cancer, and "salvage" radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer in whom radiation therapy has failed.
My clinical research focuses on improving outcomes (such as cancer control, urinary continence, and sexual function) following surgery for prostate cancer. Together with my colleagues in medical oncology and radiation oncology, we attempt to tailor therapy more accurately to each individual's cancer in order to control cancer spread and decrease treatment-related side effects.

New Snowden Interview
I think, considering the Cold War-like levels which the US-Russia relationship has reverted to, Putin won't be delivering NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden on a silver platter anytime soon. Still, it's just as well that he agreed to a sit-down with The Guardian now, just in case tensions escalate and he gets stuck behind the new wall of frost.
In the clip, the soft-spoken Snowden talks about how preposterous the claims that he's a spy for the Russians really are and maintains that, even if he winds up in Guantánamo, he "can live with that." He goes on to contend that privacy is not only possible in this day and age of the Internet, but it's likely that tech can improve on our definition thereof. But it would take the Governments putting the kibosh on the pretense that the data we store online and the pen-to-paper data are intrinsically different.
As for the Cloud-backed Internet users among you, Snowden gives some sage advice, taking a swing at the mighty Dropbox for putting Condoleezza Rice, as hard an opposer to keeping users' data private as you're likely to find, on their board. If you're looking for an alternative storage app to Dropbox, check out the entire 14-minute interview. See what you make of it and let us know in the comments section:

First, I am an American living in Romania. I hope to gain dual-citizenship status in the future. I say this to clarify my intentions and reasons behind comments below. In short, "Come on Romania! You can do better than this mess."
Second, any decent individual would have resigned, if they were found to have plagiarized up to a third of their PhD thesis. The academic fraud doesn't stop there. Mr. Ponta flat out lied about having a Master degree from an Italian university too. If he did not resigned voluntarily, then Romanians should have had a referendum on him. Moreover, a more sophisticated society would have forced his immediate resignation and visited him with legal and financial consequences for his academic frauds. Mr. Mihai Razvan Ungureanu (Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Romania between 2007 and February, 2012) went on record saying that Mr. Ponta should have to pay back all of the money he earned under false academic credentials. Mr. Ponta taught at the University of Bucharest for several years.
Third, the resources, at least on the government's part, needed to convict Mr. Nastase were large and their use were very controversial (see the "zambacciancode.ro" for examples). My point is two-fold, anti-corruption efforts are a massive devotion of resources to prosecute each monied individual. Also, there are credible recriminations about the true motivations and actions of the government pursuing these cases.
Many Romanians, as I do, see these political-legal wranglings as nothing more than the top dogs fighting over who is in charge. Although their name is bantied around for justification, on the part of both sides of the conflict or controversy, Romanians are not the beneficiaries of the acts taken in their name. Actions are initiated and followed under the label of "Rule of Law," but many times it seems as if it is no better than the pot calling the kettle black.
The Romanian Constitutional Court, either in appearance or actuality, is manipulated to say what the law means, but what the law means seems to be convenient and situational and not enduring.
There are serious systemic problems here that need to be addressed in an objective, truly lawful and reasonable manner. Political bloodletting is certainly not the way to handle matters.

How Two Guys and a Cement Mixer Changed How Bloggers Think
On Lorelle on WordPress, I just published "The Real Benefits of Sponsoring a WordCamp" which highlighted one of the most talked about exhibitors at Blog World Expo in Las Vegas a few weeks ago: Bruce Christensen and Tom Vail of Cart-Away Concrete.
While most of the exhibitors at Blog World Expo were there to promote their products and services to the mass of bloggers in attendance, Tom and Bruce were there for a different reason. They were there to learn.
So many events and conferences bring together a lot of people with a marketing agenda. They want to sell products and services and make money. Tom and Bruce of Cart-Away Concrete showed up at this blogging conference with their portable cement mixer and said, "We don't have anything for you to buy. We came here to learn."
That's right. They just came to learn from everyone who walked through the Las Vegas Convention Center Exhibition Hall over the course of the three day event. They aren't bloggers, they aren't web hosts, they aren't marketers, or guys with cool blog gadgets. They are construction experts in equipment and concrete. How many bloggers have a huge commercial construction project underway and would need them? Hmmm?
No, they were there to learn. They could hire someone to teach them what to do and set up their blogs and social media services to promote their franchise and contractor business, but that's not what they wanted. They wanted to learn from everyone in this new online social media business.
And they did. read more

I thought the Olympics was supposed to be about the world coming togther, but for some reason this board has turned into a very hateful place.
I thought the Olympics was supposed to be about the world coming togther, but for some reason this board has turned into a very hateful place.
I'm watching Olympic coverage on American television, which gives me a very valid excuse for expressing my hate. If I could choose a commentating team that wasn't so biased and actually respected and appreciated all the world's athletes equally maybe I wouldn't be suffering from male PMS, mkay.
Passion. We're passionate enough to debate endlessly with people we don't know around the world about a sport we love. Things get heated.
You're right, and the odd thing is it actually happens in real life as well, not just limited to the boards. The cold war was on big time at the arena last night.
It's not about patriotism either. You can still love those from your country, but enjoy others. Yet, I didn't see that at the arena. All around me except for a few there was this big time hate against Evgeni. Now I see why people say that skating in one's home country or continent can help. I now believe that, which I never did before. It took attending the Olympics live to make me realize that there is validity behind that argument. As well as the home country/continent push.
Sports makes one's real self come out, prejudice & hate being a part of that...
Good god, if you think what's going on in these boards is hateful, try talking to some footie fans, or worse yet, attending one of them fútbol games. Or observe Korean speed skating fans. I think it was in 2002 or 2006, when Apolo Anton Ohno won over a Korean skater on a foul call, Korean fans responded by launching a denial of service attack on various American and Olympic websites. And that's just the beginning of their hateful festivities, you can read about the rest here:
The good-natured bickering and hilarious snarking on these boards is harmless fun.
^^ Well, you do realize we haven't reached the ladies' event yet when the crap is really expected to hit the fan with the Yu-Na vs. Mao fan/bot wars. I'll probably have to stay away from the boards next week (we probably won't even be able to log into the forum due to the likely crash that will occur).

My feelings have nothing at all to do with Plushy's nationality. As a matter of fact, I remember rooting for him years ago when he was a young up-and-comer always having to play second fiddle to Yagudin. I always tend to root for the underdog. But his comments have left me really disliking him as a competitor and sportsman. Others have gotten on my bad side for similar actions as well. Anyone who cries foul after the fact bothers me. It is a judged sport. Accept it, or do something else is my feeling. I love some skaters from every country and even the ones that don't suit my style, I can respect- as long as they give a little respect to others. I take some offense to being considered prejudiced because I think someone's behavior is disrespectful. Can you really not understand why he has upset so many people? Anyway, that's just my feelings. I have not once dissed his skating or ability, only his words and actions after the skate was over.
That definitely is ripe for rioting and lulz. Is it wrong that I look forward to it? Yes, it is, but I don't want to be right!
Oh, the wimmin, the wimmin...help us , someone.
I've been dreading / dying for the dance , which I expect to be bad..but, the WIMMIN!
It's also very telling to me how hardly no one on this forum reacted negatively to Evan being bratty in all his comments about losing the US title to Jeremy Abbott (in fact the majority of people here brushed his comments off as nothing), yet so many here are jumping on Evgeni Plushenko for expressing his honest opinions about the COP system and Evan's skating. Double standard, much?

Oh mah gawd, I'm in the same boat. Of course, it doesn't stop me from talking about figure skating to my friends and acquaintances who know nothing about it. To the point where they're getting very sick of it and threatening to beat me to death and worse. But I do not care. It's the Winter Olympics! It's the one time every four years when figure skating takes center stage in the world. Suck it up, non-skate fans! Cower in terror in our sparkly shadow!
Lol, yeah, you're right. I actually think the Yunabot & Maobot wars are similar to the Tara & Michelle wars. Total turn off. That was the most sickest/evilest/depressing thing ever. My gosh, all that over a effing competition. I'll never forget the craziness I read on the boards over the years. Grown women doing these things was just pure evil, I recall one tiime they even set up a fake board pretending to be Tara fans bashing Michelle. Holy cow, I'm actually grateful that the mens competition never got to such a low, and I hope it never does.
Yeah, this will all blow over soon, thank goodness. Just back to the normal level of bitchiness, lol.
Oops, I'm talking about the men; yep, the women will probably turn into something hugely ugly like the Tara/Michelle wars. But since nobody quite moves me like Evgeni, I'll be gone after the Olympics, unless Evgeni comes back for Worlds, then I'll hang around, but once that's over I'll come back when he comes back again.
Ditto everything you said, but I'm a girl. NBC commentators except for Tracy Wilson IMO are so biased towards some skaters that it makes it very easy to hate certain skaters b/c of that bias. Whoever Scotty and Sandra promote overwhelmingly, I begin to dislike. I probably wouldn't be so harsh on some skaters and defend others (that I don't even like) if it weren't for those 2. Those 2 along with Tom Hammond have ruined my Olympic experiences ever since 2002 when NBC got the games. I liked ABC and CBS coverage of figure skating so much better....

Quarrier Corner: A.D. shares his top 10 changes for new school year
We're back! The 2014-15 school year is upon us, and as we kick off our first practices and games, I thought I would take this opportunity to share the top 10 count down of changes that Quarrier fans may notice this year. #10: Sale of Old Elementary Over the summer the district sold the old elementary school which will impact the gym space that the school provided for various athletic groups. I have spoken to the new owners (River Community Church), and it sounds like there will be the opportunity for teams/groups to continue to use the gym by contacting them. As a result of having one less gym for the district's groups to use, there will be some new guidelines this year. If you are interested in using the gyms for your teams, please contact me via email as soon as possible as the spaces are limited. #9: New coaches and directors This year will see some new leadership for several of our activities. Dale Solberg will again be the head volleyball coach after a one year hiatus. He will have a new assistant in Whitney Lickteig, who volunteered last season. In football, Jordan Huska is the only new assistant at the high school level; he too, volunteered last year. In the middle school ranks, Joe Brisbois will help out with football, and Aimee Lenocker will coach girls basketball. Also, Stacey Gleason will take over high school quiz bowl while Jason Fersdahl will lead the middle schoolers. In the spring, Shannon Tjaden will take over as the head girls golf coach. #8: Athletic trainer For the upcoming year, OI has agreed to increase its coverage provided at DRHS athletic events. This year, we will have a trainer at all home events plus away football and other post season games. In conjunction, the school, Elite Club and OI are all chipping in to renovate a storage room and create a training room. The trainers will also make weekly visits to help with taping, rehab, assessing injuries, etc. #7: Weight room equipment Thanks to the generosity of the Booster Club, we now have three new bench press benches, a low-row machine and a lat pull-down. It's not hard to spot these cool, new, orange and black pieces in a weight room that is long overdue for some new equipment. #6: Coaches' education Over the summer, the coaches were not only hard at work preparing for their upcoming seasons, but they were also taking care of some professional development. The SDHSAA implemented some new requirements for H. S. coaches across the state, and as a result, coaches were required to complete three separate courses: Fundamentals of Coaching, First Aid and Safety, and Concussion Awareness. #5: Wrestling mat This year we will host the Dakota XII Conference Wrestling Tournament. To do so, we need a third mat. The Youth Wrestling Boosters got the ball rolling, and the DR Booster Club joined them to pay for the total cost of our new mat. So when you come to our home wrestling matches this year, check it out. Also, give the members of those two groups a high-five for their generosity. #4: Schedules There are only a few changes in our schedules for this year. In football, we normally have a bye the first week (Aug 29), but this year, we will play Madison and then have the next week off. Our boys golfers will not compete in Harrisburg as they have dropped their tournament, but will instead head to Sisseton for their Invite (which is also where the region tourney will be held). It was new last year, but just wanted to remind folks that our Competition Cheer Invite is Monday, Sept 8 at 6:30. Also, our marching band will head to Menno and USD this year. The only other major change involves boys basketball; we will host Chamberlain this year rather than Cheyenne – Eagle Butte. #3: Uniforms Fans will see some fresh looks this year. Several groups will don new uniforms as most of our sports teams are on a five-year rotation. The band will perform with new uni's, as will the volleyball team, the cheerleaders and the football team. #2: Shot clocks I have talked about this several times over the past year, and it is finally a done deal. The shot clocks for girls and boys basketball have arrived and are awaiting installation. The cagers will operate with a 35 second shot clock this season, so that should be a fun, new change that definitely will change the ends of quarters and games. #1: Mascot and Dell Rapids logo After many meetings, tweaks and votes, Quarrier fans have chosen the updated mascot and interlocking DR. We will not go and throw away or redo any of our current equipment with old logos on it, but as we replace things, we will use these new logos. Our hope and intention is that anyone and everyone who wishes to use the Quarrier brand, uses this mascot or DR logo to establish one consistent icon for our school. If you would like to use it (DR logo or mascot) for your bags, jerseys, hats, shirts, etc., please contact me and I will gladly pass it along to you. See you at a game, match, meet, concert or event. And go Quarriers!

NUXE Customer Reviews
light yet rich, rivals L'occitane product - 4/9/2015 11:24:12 PM I tried this product through a free sample and instantly fell in love. I found the scent to be gentle and high-note of exotic flowers and pleasing; I am choosing this product for sure over the other Nuxe product that have almond scent, which doesn't do much for meThis is the best eye cream that I have found - 3/27/2015 6:21:22 PM I really like the results that I get with this eye cream. I have relatively good skin for my age but this really smooths out the lines around my eyes. I see a big difference in comparison to other eye creams. I think its an outstanding product.- 3/9/2015 10:32:04 AM This is absolutely the best hand and nail cream that I have ever used. I love the fragrance, also It keeps my nails from developing ridges softens cuticles, and prevents nail breakage by strengthening the tips, It is a fantastic product and worth the extra money as it is long lasting.It works! - 2/8/2015 7:47:58 AM I don't usually review products but this stuff actually works. I've lost weight recently and have been disappointed in my skin's loose texture on my thighs and upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time I used this. Usually, my skin would be crepey (sp?) in the morning - even after intensive moisturizers but the morning after I used this, my skin was definitely firmer.Soothed a skin flare up - 11/11/2014 4:53:49 AM I chose this as a sample, and was very surprised when it had a beneficial effect on a problem I was having on the skin under my eyes (near the bone) which had been irritated, itchy and red. All my usual serums, eye creams, under eye pads, etc. seemed to be making things worse all of a sudden. I tried putting this under my eyes and on my entire face at night, and the results were that my under eye skin was noticeably soothed and calmed, and my facial skin felt soft and moist. I have been using it in the morning too, always in a very thin layer, as a first layer under all other products. You don't remove it like a masque. The directions say twice a week, so I'm not sure if it's a problem to use it twice day, daily. For now, it really seems to be helping.Very strong scent - 10/10/2014 12:18:45 PM I can't vouch for the effectiveness of this product because I found its very strong, perfume-y fragrance to be extremely unpleasant. I literally washed it off and will be returning this product to Skinstore.Love this Lotion! - 9/23/2014 2:50:41 PM This lotion is very thick and rich. I like to put it on my arms and hands at bedtime. The fragrance is wonderful... a sweet almond and orange scent that is so soothing. Also, after shaving, I will sometimes put it on my legs for a real treat. Again, it is a fairly thick and rich lotion - it is not too lightweight or slippery feeling, but rather thick and luxurious. It'll be a real treat on your hands, and will absorb, but not too fast.Clean and Pleasant - 8/1/2014 7:42:05 AM I received a sample of this cleanser and knew immediately I would buy the product. I found the fragrance very pleasant, but if you don't like scent, maybe it is not for you. Cleaned very well for a non-foaming product, and did not leave my skin feeling stripped and dry.My husband really likes - 7/11/2014 11:54:12 AM My husband is on his 2nd container of Nuxe, he is ultra picky, so that is saying something!Strong Scent - 7/10/2014 10:57:20 AM I like this cleanser because it is inexpensive and effective. My skin however felt it is a bit drying. The scent is extremely powerful. Powerful enough for me to taste it. At first, it smells of Jasmine/Plumeria. But then goes into a cheap and overwhelming bathroom air freshener type scent. I couldn't enjoy this aspect of the cleanser and would not recommend. -

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants of the grass family. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world: up to three to four feet a day. This accelerated growth rate allows bamboo to be harvested in three to five years, far more often than the 10 to 20 year harvest cycle of most softwoods. Unlike the environmental damage caused by the deforestation of trees, proper harvesting of bamboo leaves the root system intact, creating little or no topsoil disruption. This renewable, sustainable resource produces 35% more oxygen than its equivalent in trees while reducing carbon dioxide gas that is blamed for global warming. With the tensile strength of steel, it's the strongest growing woody plant in the world.

Last year, the blogosphere was all abuzz about a fashion spread in French Vogue that featured a ten-year-old model dressed like a Manhattan socialite, in heels and in full make-up, reclining on a bed. The image revived the debate we seem to have every other year or so about how media influences kids and sexualizes them way too soon.
In my view, there is no debate—media does influence kids and clearly sexualizes them way too soon. But don't take my word for it, in 2010, the American Psychological Association (APA) convened a Task Force on The Sexualization of Girls that identified the problem and made recommendations for change.
If you're not in the habit of reading reports of scientific study, then you need only look at television. One popular cable show follows families as they enter their toddler daughters in pageants that routinely feature Marilyn Monroe-esque poses and strangely seductive dance routines; another follows mothers as they desperately seek modeling careers for their pre-pubescent girls, often subjecting them to scathing criticism about the size and shape of their bodies, and their perceived fitness or un-fitness for a career in fashion. It's difficult in the face of all this, to argue that our culture doesn't push kids to grow up too quickly. While this isn't a cultural phenomenon limited to girls by any means, it seems to me to be more in evidence if your child is female.
[Related: Talking to Teens about Advertising]
For example, my daughter, who's just turned five, happens to love dolls; the more realistic the better. Whenever we're in a toy store, she gravitates toward the ones that do things that real babies do, like coo or suckle or pee. And for a time, I viewed this as primarily a sign that she was developing healthy feelings of empathy, caring and compassion. Until the day my mother reported that she told her, "I can't wait to be a Mommy." Wait, I thought. Is that okay? My own mother assured me that it was, and that all it meant was that my daughter's experience with being mothered was positive. Perhaps so. I hope so.
Still, it made me reflect on the way we—intentionally or unintentionally—program our kids very early on to assume not only certain gender roles, but roles that they may not have otherwise assumed without our influence. I would much prefer my daughter not make a connection between a doll and something as weighty as 'motherhood'. I would prefer that she see the doll as, well, a doll.
Clearly the solution would not be to wrench her treasured playthings from her arms; So what is a parent to do? I'll happily acknowledge that I, personally, have no idea, so I went to the "experts" for help. Here are five tips I found that I'd like to share with you:
[Related: How Parents Can Help their Daughters Thrive in a Superficial World]
[Related: Setting Appropriate Cell Phone Boundaries.]
The bottom line is that as parents, we know all too well that adulthood will come soon enough, and with it we lose many things that cannot be recaptured; one of the best gifts we can give our kids is the opportunity to savor their childhood.

NancyNJNumbed My Left LegThis product is good for what it says it does. It stopped my hair from falling even though I only took it for 2 weeks. I dont know if my hair would grow back with this. I had hair loss since I was 19 from burning my scalp with bleach while letting a girl try to make me a blonde, to it falling from diabetes. But I will say this, my left leg started to go numb every time I took this vitamin. It would go numb, it would hurt badly on my ankle. I stopped using it today and thank God the pain went away. Although I would love to keep taking it for my hair to grow, the best thing for me to do is pray to God, hes more powerful then any vitamin I can take. Good luck to all the women with hair problems out there, ask your doctor before using anything, and God bless you all!posted Apr 23, 2009Link to this post
TracyGrand Rapids MichiganHealthy Hair And NailsI started using Shen Min about two weeks ago. I noticed already that my hair is getting thicker and has seemed to grow a little bit already. My nails grow long anyways, (but since Ive started taking this product they harder and grown much more longer.) I also take vitamin E and flaxseed, along with a multi vitamin. Yes I have energy!! I went to my hairdresser today and she has noticed an improvement. I personally think that this is a good product. However for other people that it hasnt worked for it may be something wrong. I do know that in time the results will be plentiful. My texture has changed to wire like. Yes I am a black woman. So the results may differ.posted Mar 27, 2009Link to this post
AnonymousShelby Twp MIThis Is A Great ProductI am a 29 year old female that was the victim of hair extensions gone bad.. I had great length extensions in my hair for 4 months that left me with small bald spots above my ears on both sides. The extensions really did a number on my hair in general, leaving it very thinned out. I started taking shen min about a month ago and have already noticed results. My hair is already growing back in the bald areas, and my hair seems thicker. It does take a few weeks for it to start working... but it really does. I would recommend this priduct to anyone with thinning hair or even bald patches.posted Mar 17, 2009Link to this post
Hope A AddisonBaltimore, MDThis Product Really Does WorkI started using Shen Min about 4 months ago and after about two weeks of taking it I noticed less shedding, some growth, and thicker looking hair. After 4 months it is still about the same. My hair has not grown to the floor but I do notice a couple of inches that were not there before and am pleased with the results so far. I am not one to take products for hair to promote faster growth but I think Shen Min lives up to its name. The key to longer hair I have found is drinking lots of water everyday, taking your Shen Min twice a day with a meal, eating healthy foods, exercising when you have the time twice a week and making sure that you maintain your hair in whatever way works for you. In the meantime, I am sticking with Shen Min:)posted Oct 1, 2008Link to this post
RhondaClearwater, FloridaRestored Hair ColorI am at least as skeptical as other people when it comes to taking something for almost anything, even when my doctor prescribes them. However, being a believer in preventive health measures, I have been taking vitamins for several years now on a regular basis. When my hair began to gray, I just used some color on it. When my hair began to thin after I hit "the age," I started to look around for root (pun intended) causes.I tried various things before my local vitamin store suggested I take Fo-Ti which is also known as He Shou Wu. After my first bottle, she suggested that I might want to take something for my nails as they seemed more prone to chipping and breaking (since my last birthday) so I switched to Shen Min hair, skin and nails formula. That was two months ago.When I went to the salon yesterday, Carol asked me if I was dyeing my own hair. I told her that I wasnt and asked her why. She said that my hair was now much darker brown than it had been the previous month. When she examined it more closely, she also told me that I was getting new hair growth in areas which were thinning.I wont tell you that it erased all of my gray after 3 months, but my hairdresser cant be fooled. When I told her about what I was taking she laughed and said that she was going to be out $65 for my dye work. That was a pretty good feeling because she can see more of it than I can.The only reason I dont give this product 5 stars is because I want to be sure it will continue to work. However, it is coming in my original color at my temples and filling in well in the back. It has definitely become thicker, thought not dramatically so. I didnt expect any more because I have always had thin hair.I cannot comment on others who have had no luck with this product. Some things work for some and not others. I believe stress and vitamins and minerals play a big part. In my final evaluation, I spent about the same as it would have cost to have my hair dyed, but I can tell you which one feels better to me. It just takes some time and consistency to see the results.posted May 2, 2008Link to this post

LeahOhioStops Hairloss In Its TracksI have used Shen Min Adv formula for women and let me tell you, it works to stop hairloss after 3 to 4 weeks time (you will notice the difference on your hands and in the drain~almost no shedding with in a month). It does also thicken your hair. I tried other less expensive products and I am going back to Shen Min Adv. Formula~my hair was definitely healthier when taking daily. I wish it got rid of the grey for me but I will settle for thicker hair. Buy 3 mos. supply and you will see a difference.posted Oct 2, 2007Link to this post
