Seasoned Niese faces young Roark in DC
Mets lefty a solid vet on rookie-laden staff; Nats hurler finds rhythm
Jon Niese may not be the oldest member of the Mets' rotation, but he is certainly its elder statesman.
As injuries continue to reshape New York's starting five, Niese will take the mound Friday as by far its longest-tenured member. He has made 125 career starts for the Mets over the past seven seasons; none of the team's other four starters have been on the roster for more than 11 months. Three of them debuted for New York this season, including rookies Rafael Montero and Jacob deGrom, who both made their first big league starts this week.
Niese has also been one of the club's most successful pitchers over that span. Off to a white-hot start this year, Niese has shrugged aside shoulder and elbow issues to post a 2.17 ERA over his first seven starts. Last time out, Niese submitted his worst -- and that's a relative term -- start of the year against the Phillies: Six innings and three runs in a no-decision.
"I feel good," said Niese, who is just 2-2 despite six quality starts in seven tries. "I really don't care where my wins and losses are -- just as long as the team's winning, that's fine with me. I've been feeling good. I want to get my innings in and I want them to be quality."
He will open the Mets' series at Nationals Park opposite right-hander Tanner Roark, who has also been terrific more often than not. Twelve of the 18 runs against Roark this season came in two outings; in the other five, he is 2-0 with a 1.51 ERA.
"Me and [catcher Wilson Ramos] were on the same page," Roark said of his last start, in which he limited the A's to one run over 7 2/3 innings. "So when you get that rhythm and that tempo going and you don't have to shake anything off, that's perfect."
Although Roark is one of the most talented pitchers on the Nats, two years ago it seemed doubtful he would even have a big league career. Roark lost 17 games with Triple-A Syracuse in 2012, and he was blaming everybody but himself.
But then Roark had a heart-to-heart talk with assistant general manager Doug Harris, then-manager Tony Beasley and then-pitching coach Greg Booker. The trio told Roark to focus on making each pitch count and not worry about anything else. They told Roark that since he can't control what happens behind him, he might as well not worry about it.
"I was being selfish, I guess," Roark said. "Little things would happen -- bloop hits. I would be getting it in my own head and saying, 'Why is he getting on?' I was trying really hard. We all sat down, it was an emotional meeting. We talked it through. ... I never went through anything like that before. It was good for me. That's what turned my career around -- the mental aspect of the game."
"It was about him understanding who he was, what he needed to do to be successful," Harris said. "Tanner did a terrific job, taking and applying [what we said]. He was in a funk. He really did a nice job battling his way out of it. He really found himself."
Mets: d'Arnaud to DL with concussion
The Mets placed catcher Travis d'Arnaud on the seven-day concussion disabled list Thursday, retroactive to May 14. d'Arnaud was still feeling concussion symptoms after taking an Alfonso Soriano backswing off his helmet Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
"He's still feeling the effects," general manager Sandy Alderson said.
To replace d'Arnaud, the Mets recalled catcher Juan Centeno from Triple-A Las Vegas. He and regular backup Anthony Recker will split time behind the plate in d'Arnaud's absence.
Nationals: McLouth back in business
Outfielder Nate McLouth returned to the starting lineup Wednesday, finishing 1-for-4 against the D-backs. McLouth had been nursing a sore right index finger, which kept him out of the lineup Tuesday.
McLouth may be off to a slow start, batting .117 in 60 at-bats, but he is fourth on the team with 10 walks.
"I wouldn't say I have swung the bat well, but my at-bats haven't been awful," McLouth said. "I have a lot of walks. I finally [got some hits] through the hole the last couple of nights, but I'm OK."
Worth noting
• Mets pitchers are no longer 0-for-the season. Rookie Jacob deGrom snapped the staff's hitless streak in his first big league plate appearance, singling to end the Mets' streak at 0-for-64. The 1914 Cleveland Naps hold the longest streak (0-for-92) in big league history.
• Through 40 games, reliever Tyler Clippard leads the Nationals with four wins. Relief pitchers have accounted for 11 of the staff's 21 victories. Among pitchers with at least 16 innings, Clippard ranks ninth in the Majors with 12.67 strikeouts per nine.
• Nats outfielder Jayson Werth homered Wednesday and has reached base safely in 21 of his last 22 games.

That mod pre-dates Daniel too. His middle name is "."
Hey Daniel, I heard a rumor that there was video out there, somewhere, of a guy grinding that lip off the top of his Archtop.
Not with a grinder...
Not with a file...
But on the sidewalk!
So what's the connection between this beauty and Mr. Beck?

It's actually a lot more extreme than your mod Hans...I wouldn't care either way as long as it took the bite out!
I have a 25th Anniversary that hits all the bullet points: tone, feel, sustain. Just a special instrument.
I love my 305, if I could only keep 3 guitars for the rest of my life it would be the 305, my Hollowbody II SC, and my 1956 goldtop Les Paul.
I own two and bit (ones a 407). One factory and two PS. One of PRS' most underrated models.
Those are both great! The PS is killer! Color is perfect! Amazing stain! I remember the first time you posted it....
(and yes....I also have saved pictures of it!)

Mine is a 25th Anniversary... with the shadow birds which I really dig! 25ths are not hum cancelling in positions 2 & 4, just like old strats. Tone is beefier than a strat, maybe set neck helps too. It's definitely a keeper.
I've had a couple of them. The first had then513 neck and I never did get used to it so I let it go. The second was antique white with maple board and neck with dirt birds...that one was terrific and I miss it. Gas is a cruel mistress!
Ok, there's your answer. 13 people own 305s.
Ok...I need to sign a pledge that that I will never change the pup height on my 305 again. I sat there tweaking them for hours....they rest some place between low and medium...I was adjusting each screw with 1/8 turns and there was a noticeable difference...when I was done I was ecstatic....I'm sure tonight when I plug in I'll hate it!
In all seriousness though I think I have it exactly right...I wish I knew what it had sounded like with factory spec height or how the PTC sets them up...but I can't imagine it getting much better than this.
i realize they are proprietary but anybody know what the 513 and 305 pickups were modeled upon? I dont remember there being much press on the pickups...the guitars yes...but all I remember is the word "proprietary" when discussing the pickup system.

Happy to say i own one now. 2010 antique white with matching white headstock, rosewood fretboard. minty!
I have a 25th anniversary model in blue.
I have a 25th Anniversary in blue too, afraid it does not get as much use as it deserves

Nice looking 305s all the way around!
I have one too!
I have one. No photo though It's a 25th anniversary in maroon. Excellent instrument for both blues and for clean picking. I particularly like it with the neck pickup.

A masturbatory move, much like The Stranger, which makes the best of a bad situation. One must first injure their hand in such a way that it swells significantly. The added mass of the palm then gives the feeling of a porcine woman's hand when the act is committed.
Kevin punched a brick wall and broke his hand, now it's the size of a softball. At least now he can give himself The Fat Chick.

Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
I think you have to look at speed as the second most important element leading off - after OBP. Getting on at a high clip is most important. But look at Stubbs. Low OBP, high strikeouts but he was a run machine. His base running was excellent and his speed was top notch. When he did get on he scored a phenomenal % of the time. It didn't offset his low OBP but it did ameliorate it somewhat. Dusty gets ripped for his "clogging the bases" comment and probably should but there is a grain of truth in it too with slow station to station players like Hanigan. As RMR shows, even with much higher OBP rates they may barely achieve the scoring production of much, much lower OBP players with excellent speed. Remember, of course - this is the two extremes of the categories, speed and OBP wise. Also, Stubbs success scoring on a high pct basis came because of his overall running prowess - not just stealing - his speed was an asset beyond just stealing bases which is something that gets forgotten. First to third, scoring from first, or scoring from second on the shallow single are things the fleet footed runner can do. I don't think you have to be in Rickey Henderson's class - look at Pete - but I think you should be a smart aggressive baserunner with enough speed to take an extra base like Pete was in order to be a good leadoff man, and of course, have a solid OBP. If Stubbs taught us anything it should be that a low OBP leadoff man with a lot of speed can be somewhat effective (if inordinately frustrating to watch). I have high hopes Billy can better Stubbs OBP rate and he is even faster and a better base stealer. I don't think he has to be a .380 to .400 OBP guy to be really, really good. .325-.340 especially in his early seasons would be okay by me. Anything more would be gravy. Anything less would be Stubbesian - but might still be workable.
Hamilton is tweeting with Michael Crouse who is a Minor league player with the BlueJays
billy hamilton @b_ham_3 14m
billy hamilton @b_ham_3 14s"@_crouse_: @b_ham_3 sept call piece or what?"bro I'm hoping I haven't heard anything yet
"@_crouse_: @b_ham_3 need the cup of coffee"yes sir bro wat about u?
Can we bring this run scoring discussion back around to Billy's effect? After last night, it's easy to be excited about the possibilities. What is of interest to me now is how Billy will compare to Choo in terms of runs scored. If Billy is to Choo what Cozart is to Hanigan, how many more runs does Billy score than Choo? Or is he still short of Choo?
Excluding only HR, Billy scores 43% of the time he's on base and Choo scores 31% of the time he's on base. With a significant advantage in XBH and talent hitting behind him Choo still does not score as frequently as Billy.
Using Rick's conversion of 1% of likelihood of scoring = 10 points of OBP, does Billy need to OBP .297 next year to score the 93 runs in 133 games that Choo has? (.417 OBP-(12 points difference in scoring frequency*10) = .297 OBP) Is that the correct use of your numbers Rick?
2012 Billy scored 45% of the time
Minors career it is 42% of the time
Majors career is an astounding 100% of the time.
Choo has scored 29% of the time in his career in various places in the lineup.
All these numbers are minus home runs.
And Jose Reyes has scored 39% in his mlb career, while also score 47% of the time in the minors. Perhaps we should adjust downward for Billy to the 37-40% range for a reasonable outcome in the majors. Reyes was a stealer in the minors but only reached 58 sb in a full season one time, so I don't know if Billy should be adjusted too far down as he's even faster and better on the bases than Reyes.
How many cups of coffee have you had today?
camisadelgolf (09-04-2013),CoachBombay (09-04-2013),mdccclxix (09-04-2013)
On the other hand, last year Stubbs scored over 40% of the time, IIRC. But that's not subtracting HR.
Cozart is around 45% this year.
One problem wih with Billy is the lack of pop (which Cozart and Stubbs have). Although the stolen bases are going to help with that. It will certainly be interesting to track the percentage of time that Billy scores next year. Hopefully he does put up his first of many 100 runs scored seasons

Billy Hamilton is eligible for the Reds' playoff roster.
Advice: Hamilton wasn't added to the 40-man roster until September 2, but MLB rules allow Cincinnati to replace a player on the disabled list (in this case, Nick Masset) on the playoff roster with a player who wasn't on the 40-man roster at the end of August. Expect to see Hamilton in the postseason. The fastest player in the game makes for a terrifying bench weapon in October.

Samsung UE65JS9500 review
Editor's ChoiceWith high dynamic range, 4K resolution and tons of smart features Samsung's latest TV is the future of television.
With high dynamic range, 4K resolution and tons of smart features Samsung's latest TV is the future of television.
Panasonic's TX-47AS740 is one of the smartest TVs in town. But contrast flaws mean it falls short in the picture quality department.
This heavyweight 4K UHD TV from Panasonic features a full-array backlight and loads of features, but some of the basics are broken.
The most comprehensive and simplest smart TV platform around chums-up with a quad core processor and reliable, versatile picture quality on this giant 48-incher from Samsung
Mightily impressive on almost all counts, this 48-incher from Samsung nevertheless fails to completely convince on 4K; it's just not big enough.
Can this monster-sized curved LED TV from Samsung really be worth such a high price when it only has a Full HD panel?
A new 60-inch 4K TV from Sharp with a killer combination of a native Ultra HD pixel count and an aggressive price.
One of the most affordable 48-inchers around, this great value quad core-powered smart TV makes a great all-rounder for a living room

I am very disappointed with my recent purchase of this mattress pad. Nowhere on the packaging, mattress pad or paperwork did it refer to "Beautyrest", nor did it indicate any type of brand. It came wrapped in cheap plastic with no indication as to what I had purchased. I decided to keep it because I figured I was getting what I paid for and it is used on a guest bed. I also didn't want to go through the hassle of shipping a $xx item back to Overstock. But if you say it's a Beautyrest, it should be Beautyrest. This is the first time I have been disappointed with an Overstock purchase and I have bought many things from bedding to chandeliers but buyer beware on this item.
Fits perfectly over my mattress and a 4 inch memory foam.
The pad is cheaply made. Before I added this to my bedding, my fitted sheets would remain on my bed throughout the night. I have a king mattress and I ordered a king pad, but it seemed small. I double checked the package to verify that they had shipped a king size. Yup. I had to stretch the heck out of it to make the pad fit. Then, every night, it would come off the mattress, pulling my fitted sheets off with it. I would wake up every morning sleeping directly on my bare mattress. After a week, we took the pad off the bed and my fitted sheets remain snug throughout the night. I'm not sure how a product that is supposed to protect your mattress works when it can't remain on the mattress? The product itself is very thin and poorly sewn. What a waste of money!
Quality was not what I was expecting, given the name "Beautyrest.' But it doesn't say "Beautyrest" on label and I would probably have done better at a white sale at a major store.
I thought this cover would be thicker and fluffier than it is. It's okay over my pillow top mattress but I don't think it would be good for a regular mattress if you're looking for additional softness.
These mattress pads have a great fit and stay put. Good quality.
Was what I expected. Fits great.
What a dream to sleep on especially if the mattress is a little firm like ours was.
I ordered this mattress pad to replace a extra long twin that I bought in August from Bed Bath Beyond by Laura Ashley for my freshman college son. The first one just wouldn't stay on since it wasn't truly long enough. This new one fit well and will make it much more easy for my son to make his bed when he finally gets to it.
Added this mattress pad for a sagging mattress. So far, it has made the mattress much more comfortable. The mattress is only five years old and already starting to sag. This top mattress pad is a good temporary fix.

The powerful solar flare, observed March 7 by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, produced such an outpouring of gamma rays -- a form of light with even greater energy than X-rays -- that the sun briefly became the brightest object in the gamma-ray sky, NASA said Monday.
"For most of Fermi's four years in orbit, its LAT saw the sun as a faint, steady gamma-ray source thanks to the impacts of high-speed particles called cosmic rays," Nicola Omodei, an astrophysicist at Stanford University, said. "Now we're beginning to see what the sun itself can do."
The March flare produced high-energy gamma rays for about 20 hours, two and a half times longer than any event on record, researchers said.
Solar eruptions are increasing as the sun moves toward the peak of its roughly 11-year-long activity cycle, expected in mid-2013, they said.

Two new council members and four incumbents were elected by Chesapeake Beach residents to serve on the town council for the next four years.
Mayor Bruce Wahl, who ran unopposed in the election, received 1,387 votes. Wahl, who was at the town's polling place, the Northeast Community Center, on Election Day, said he saw a good turnout of voters and he was happy a lot of people cast their vote.
Candidate Jeff Krahling will sit as one of the six council members after receiving the most total votes out of any candidate, with 1,101 votes.
"It's such a blessing, and I feel so proud to be honored with this," Krahling said of being elected and receiving the most votes.
Krahling said he believes "the citizens spoke" through their votes. He said he feels working with the other council members will be a great opportunity and he believes they will all be able to move the town forward in a positive direction.
"I'd like to thank everybody that put in their time and their talents, and I'd like to thank them for all of their efforts," he said. "Thank you to those who prayed for me and I definitely would like to thank my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus."
Wahl said he has known Krahling since they ran against once another for mayor four years ago and he believes Krahling is "well-prepared for his role" as a council member.
Another new face on the council will be Eric Reinhardt, who received 878 votes. Phone calls to Reinhardt were not returned as of press time Thursday.
Wahl said although he did not know Reinhardt very well, he believes he will "bring a nice perspective" to the council.
With the second highest vote count of 985 votes, incumbent Pat Mahoney was re-elected to the town council for his fifth consecutive term.
"I'm delighted that the citizens have once again voted for me in high numbers to serve them," Mahoney said. "More so, I'm elated about the council that they chose."
Mahoney said he believes "the town really sent a message" because the "top four victors" were those who opposed annexation and still hold small town values.
"It's a wonderful makeup that we have on our council," he said. "It's going to be an exciting four years. We hope to do wonderful things for the citizens of our town."
Incumbent Valerie Beaudin, who recently sparked controversy during an October town meeting by amending the town's proposed zoning ordinance to remove the bonus density overlay district from Veteran's Memorial Park to 31st Street, was re-elected to the council after receiving 890 votes.
"Needless to say, I'm absolutely thrilled I was re-elected, but now the real work starts," Beaudin said. "We really need to deal with Beach Elementary … [and] we still have the water and sewer rate structure."
Beaudin said she was happy to have "a nice mix of town council folks." She believes the newcomers will bring new and interesting ideas to the council while the incumbents will bring their experience from having served previously to the table.
"I'm looking forward to serving another four years," she said.
Incumbent Stewart Cumbo, who received 854 votes, said he was looking forward to serving with the new council and moving forward with the business of the town.
"I'm happy to be re-elected and to continue to serve the town. I was a little disappointed that some of the potential candidates who were running didn't make the council," Cumbo said, adding that he thinks "we'll have a working relationship" with the elected members.
Incumbent Bob Carpenter, who received 850 votes, said he appreciates the confidence the voters have put in him by re-electing him for a second term.
"I see it as they appreciate and approve of the job I've done and have asked me to continue to do it, and that's exactly what I plan to do," Carpenter said, adding that he plans to be prepared for and attend every meeting that he can and actively participate in the discussions.
Carpenter said he is looking forward to working with the five other council members in the next four years.
"We certainly had disagreements in the course of the campaign … but that's what campaigns are all about," he said. "As we move forward, we have to keep in mind what's in the best interest of the town."
Wahl said since five of the six incumbents ran for re-election and four of those five people won, "My interpretation of that is that people by and large like what we've been doing."
When asked what issues the new council would deal with first, Wahl said, "There are a lot of things that are out there, especially the utility rates." He said there were "a lot of opinions expressed about that during the campaign," adding that he hopes the council can "bring that to a common point of view."
"I think it may be challenging at times," Wahl said of the council, "but we'll see how it materializes. It will be a very different dynamic than it was before … and time will tell, but I'm optimistic."

The Tahitian Princess
Trip Start
Apr 02, 2011
Trip End
May 15, 2011
Where I stayed
Our Memory
At 594 feet long, Tahitian Princess carries only 670 cruise-goers between the tropical islands of the South Pacific, including the celebrated shores of French Polynesia and Hawaii. This Explorer-class ship offers all of the luxuries, amenities, and services of today's mega-liners--without the crowds. While onboard, passengers enjoy Personal Choice cruising options and features.
A wide range of facilities are available to passengers, including a library, reception hall with grand piano, traditional country lounge, and even duty-free shopping. Indulge in soothing beauty and massage treatments at the Asian-themed, full-service Lotus Spa or get in a workout at the adjacent fitness center. Take a dip in the swimming pool or indulge in the poolside barbecue and pizzeria. The outdoor jogging track is open to the sea breezes and, from the track, you can watch as emerald islands come into view.
Dining options onboard Tahitian Princess are varied, with a choice of four restaurants. The ship's open-seating policy allows passengers to eat where and when they please. The Club Restaurant offers dancing and fine dining in an elegant atmosphere, while the Italian restaurant boasts romantic ocean views and classic Italian cuisine. The Grill steakhouse and Panorama Buffet provide passengers with casual dining environments. Guests onboard can enjoy three full-scale revue shows, with Broadway, Vegas, or New Orleans jazz themes, a casino, comedians, magicians, game shows, and karaoke round out the list of quality entertainment.
Personal thoughts on the Tahitian Princess
We boarded the Tahitian Princess but disembarked on the Beautiful White Lady. Captain Stefano Rabera always referred to the ship as the Beautiful White Lady and as we accepted and used the term, it turned from our ship to our home away from home. She is one of the smaller ships in the Princess Fleet. The ship was very well maintained and she was always dressed to the nines. Her weather luck in ports was legendary, an even those few times that we had rainy weather in ports we forgave her as she was always working on our behave. Even though she was a lady, she was not afraid to go into exotic and sometimes dirty ports. In Rabual, she waited patiently under a constant light dusting of volcanic ash as we explored the harbor. By days end, she was coated in gray ashes that darken her exterior but not her heart. She was quickly bathed and back to the Beautiful White Lady.
Being a small ship and on a long cruise, we soon was able to recognize all of the world cruise passengers and most of the staff as they did us. The experience was like living in a small community that was able to move around the world. We were able to see the far and exotic sights of the world while remaining at home. We were able to visit the world and share our experience with our seagoing family.
She was able to cross the roughest waters without causing us any major stress. Her size enabled us to go into smaller areas than most Cruise Ships could go. She was able to carry us across the enormous Pacific Ocean and thru the many seas that make up the much of the blue waters that cover the globe, We were carried to the farthest and most remote areas of the world to places like Easter Island. We were carried as far south as the Tasmanian Sea and as for north as the Bearing Sea. We were securely carried thru dangerous waters like the pirate infested waters of the Gulf of Aden hours after an American Cargo ship fell to Somali Pirates. She carried us thru the great canals of the world; the Panama and the Suez canals. She carried us over the Great Barrier Reef and thru the exotic east. She introduced us to many of the diverse peoples that make up this beautiful planet on which we live. She carried us thru the natural and man-made wonders of the present and the past. She carried us across the equator where we were transformed from polywogs to shellbacks. She carried not only across great distances but across time as we sailed over the International Dateline and lost a day that we will never see again. She carried us on our voyage of a life time. The Tahitian Princess would undergo a dry dock transformation and return to the seas as the Ocean Princess. This was the only world cruise that the Tahitian Princess would share with her passenger and crew family.
Below are just a few of the photos se took of the White Lady and around the White Lady that we experience on our cruise. She was our home on a cruise around the world. Many more images were captured by our cameras and our minds.

Doing isn't giving, although doing is required.
At work we have jobs to do. The better we do them, the more likely we'll be valued and rewarded. That's true even if we:
- Dislike the tasks we're assigned
- Know the job is a wrong fit
- Question the company's direction
- Work with uncommitted people
- Don't see growth opportunities
It's as possible to succeed in a sorry job as it is in a fabulous one, provided you do your job as required.
But that's a bummer. Few of us want to be a star at a job we dislike, unless we can turn it into something significantly better. Generosity of spirit may be just the ticket.
Giving v. getting
When we get hired, the first thing we say is " I got the job" as though it's something we now own. Actually, it's the opposite.
Instead, we've been given the opportunity to serve an organization so it can succeed. Our individual success is a by-product of the quality of our performance…what we give.
Jobs look different when you see them as opportunities to give. It starts with the attitude you bring to your tasks, no matter how pleasant or unpleasant they are. Consider these comparisons:
Downer coworkers (the self-servers):
- Complain about everything and everyone
- Find fault with every decision, policy, and assignment
- Ridicule the boss and some peers covertly
- Brag about how they shortcut their work
- Bad-mouth the company
Upbeat coworkers (the givers):
- Focus on the good in others and reinforce it
- Look at the upside of decisions and support them
- Commit to performing at their best out of personal pride
- Treat the boss and their peers with respect, even during disagreements
- Offer to help struggling coworkers out of kindness
- Show regard for the company and gratitude for their employment
There are important, often unexpected, benefits to working with a giver's attitude. Even the smallest gift of kindness and generosity turns into a benefit that touches many.
Cause and effect
There are endless opportunities to turn the drudgery of any job into an uplifting experience. Here are a two examples of ways to give a little and get a lot:
1. Your job involves seemingly endless spreadsheets, so you're a wiz at Excel but your coworker isn't. When she's struggling to meet a spreadsheet deadline, you share your knowledge and help her make it. (Your self-esteem goes up, you strengthen a relationship, and you support the team.)
2. You're a veteran member of a work group that just added a new, talented but inexperienced member. He's trying to get acclimated but it's not going well. You offer to be a peer-mentor for him until he's settled. (You rediscover your leadership skills, build inclusiveness, and set a positive example.)
Each gift from the heart makes things better for others. In turn you reinforce your sense of self-worth.
Generosity, whether time, effort, or money, is personal and individual. We give what we can and usually get back what we don't expect.
Journalist John Blackstone interviewed, Ari Nessel (on CBS Sunday Morning 3/23/14) who became wealthy selling real estate in the Dallas area. Nessel believes the best kind of philanthropy comes from small monetary gifts. So he created a foundation, Pollination Project, providing seed money for start-up charities. Daily, he chooses someone just getting started to receive a $1,000 donation, his lifetime commitment of giving.
Nessel's attitude about any kind of giving is that, " …transformation happens on the fringes…and doesn't happen on the large scale… And so it becomes a movement."
At the end of the interview, Blackstone says to Nessel: "So money can buy happiness?"
He replied, "Generosity can buy happiness."
Generosity matters.
Nessel's viewpoint also applies at your job. You can affect the culture of your workplace through each gift of kindness you give. When that happens, it also makes your job feel better and you seed a movement.
Giving generously of your time and talent positions you to discover the value embedded in your every work experience. A generous spirit is infections and attracts contagious good.

Hudson's win a walk in the park for Braves
Free pass to Uggla brings in go-ahead run; Prado's shot pads lead
ATLANTA -- Everything went just as hoped during Tim Hudson's recovery from back surgery, the 36-year-old veteran not experiencing a single setback in his rehab.
Hudson's return to the mound for real on Sunday wasn't the right-hander at his best, but he'll certainly take it for a first outing.
"It felt great to be back out there again," he said.
Hudson worked five innings and got the win in his 2012 debut as the Braves beat the Pirates, 4-3, before a sun-baked crowd of 30,419 fans at Turner Field.
"I was a little shaky at first, but I finished strong and we got the win," said Hudson, who led the Braves with 16 victories a year ago and had a 3.33 ERA.
Dan Uggla drew a walk with the bases loaded in the fifth inning to plate the go-ahead run for Hudson, and Martin Prado homered in the seventh as the Braves improved to 14-4 since their 0-4 start.
"Everyone was pumped to have him back," Prado said of Hudson.
"You know he's going to be a bulldog," Uggla said. "He battled, just like he always does."
Hudson allowed two runs on six hits over the five innings while striking out six, walking two and hitting a batter. He threw 96 pitches, 63 of them strikes.
"He probably wasn't as sharp as he would have liked," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "But he gave us a chance to win. ... It was nice to see [him back]."
The Pirates left eight runners on base against Hudson.
"I was able to get out of some jams," Hudson said. "My cutter was pretty good, but nothing was great. It was fun, though. It was great to be out there competing again."
When Hudson left, the Braves' bullpen did its job. Chad Durbin, Eric O'Flaherty and Jonny Venters each worked a scorless inning and Craig Kimbrel got his eighth save despite allowing a ninth-inning run on a wild pitch after a double by Jose Tabata.
Catcher Brian McCann thought the ball had hit the foot of batter of Garrett Jones, but home-plate umpire Doug Eddings ruled otherwise, and the call was upheld.
The Braves went ahead in the fifth, when Pirates starter Kevin Correia walked Uggla with the bases loaded. It was the third straight free pass by Correia, who had given up a leadoff hit in the inning to Michael Bourn.
"I'm up there trying to hack," Uggla said. "I'd rather drive in two runs than one. But you've got to get what you can."
Brad Lincoln replaced Correia and got out of the jam by striking out Chipper Jones and getting Jason Heyward to ground out. But Prado hit Lincoln's first pitch of the seventh inning over the center-field fence for his second homer of the season.
"I saw the fastball right away, as soon as he released it," said Prado, who is 5-for-12 in the series. "At first, I didn't know if it would carry, but it did. It felt great."
Bourn remained red-hot with three hits and a walk, raising his average to .409 in the past 16 games. But the story of the day was the successful return of Hudson.
Heyward helped Hudson in the second inning with a catch in deep right-center field, but the Pirates still broke through for a pair of runs in the frame. Tabata drove them in with a two-out single after two hits and a walked had loaded the bases.
The Braves got one run back in the third, Hudson scoring it himself after reaching when Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen dropped his fly ball. A second error, this one by third baseman Pedro Alvarez, followed a walk and Freddie Freeman plated Hudson with a sacrifice fly.
Hudson and Eddings got into a jawing match after a ball call in the fourth inning, prompting Gonzalez to come racing out of the dugout.
But Hudson left Michael McKenry, who had reached on an error by shortstop Tyler Pastornicky, stranded at second base by striking out Alex Presley and getting Tabata to fly out.
"Just say we had a disagreement," Hudson said of the exchange with Eddings. "It's over and done with."
The Pirates elected to pitch to Pastornicky with two outs, a runner on second and Hudson up next in the bottom of the fourth, and it backfired. Correia hung a breaking ball and Pastornicky pulled a double to left-center field to score Uggla, who had walked and moved up on a ground out.
"You saw two guys who've been pitching a while in this league battle on a hot day, trying to miss bats," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Both gave their teams a chance to win. We had men in scoring position in seven of the nine innings, so we had plenty of opportunities to come up with more than three runs."
Hudson, who had surgery to repair a herniated disk on Nov. 28, had one appearance at the end of Spring Training and then made four Minor League rehab starts. The last two were for Triple-A Gwinnett, where he was 2-0 with a 0.84 ERA.
This time, Hudson was facing Major League hitters, though.
"It felt great to compete again and have a little success," Hudson said. "It was a lot of fun."

About Star Trek Into Darkness
Following the lead of many successful Hollywood franchises before it, this Star Trek sequel brings a mysterious, charismatic and deadly antagonist along with its returning established characters. After the iconic crew came together in the first reboot, it seems as though the Enterprise will have a long run of exploring space and beyond. Then the Starfleet is attacked, leaving Earth in chaos. Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and the rest go on a quest to find the terrorist responsible. Despite the loyalty and guidance of his crew, Kirk still feels that he has something to prove and this may be all that the ice-cold villain (Benedict Cumberbatch) needs to get inside his head. But what does he want? And how can the crew stop him?

To a customer, the Sprint store is bouyaschi. It is bouyaschi because they could make a payment in so many other ways but they would rather go to the store, it's inexplainable.

O... oh... OOOOHHH.... FSCK.... YES!
Phoronix: LLVM 2.8 Released With Feature-Complete Clang C++
Chris Lattner has just announced the release of version 2.8 of LLVM, the Low-Level Virtual Machine. LLVM 2.8 is only being released about six months after the release of LLVM 2.7, but it boasts many notable changes, including the Clang compiler offering feature-complete C++ support against the ISO C++ 1998 and 2003 standards...
O... oh... OOOOHHH.... FSCK.... YES!
It's perhaps relevant to note that FreeBSD 9-CURRENT has been possible to build with clang/llvm for a little while now. I'm running it on a machine right now, and it seems fine. (This is buildworld, so the entire base system, not just the kernel.)
Not that there's much C++ in that, but it does suggest that clang is maturing.
I'm a beginner C++ programmer...
I'm not quite familiar with the development infrastructure of the open source world.
Correct me if I'm wrong; Does this LLVM with Clang C++ replace GCC?
Release early. Release often. That way people can come in early and patch flaws and give input where changes/improvements are needed. This is the so called Bazaar model. More info in this Wikipedia entry of the corresponding book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat...and_the_Bazaar
It's basically a free-for-all evolution process that is field tested and known to work better than the proprietary software Cathedral style software development method.
There's no centralized development managemant structure in the FLOSS ecosystem; people develop what they want and Linux distributions pick what they think is best. Then the best distro gets the most users, so the most users will get the best software.Correct me if I'm wrong; Does this LLVM with Clang C++ replace GCC?
GCC has G++ for C++ but is not completely standards compliant. Not in terms of let's go 'embrace, extent and extinguish' ala Microsoft style, but as in "This is the best we can come up with".
GCC; the GNU Compiler Collection is older and thus more optimized.
The succesful projects mostly develop like this:
1. Make it work
2. Make it work realy great
3. Optmization stage
Yes and no.
You can basically drop it in instead of gcc and it will usually work. It's a bit pickier on some corner cases, and there are some things gcc supports that clang doesn't - both gcc-specific things and standard ones.
However, it is not meant to replace gcc as the "standard" OSS compiler. It might become more popular than gcc at some future point, but "kill gcc" is not on their TODO list.
How about not having to go through a distro at all? You know, downloading whatever you want from websites? Like Windows? You know, real freedom, not walled gardens.
Yes, I am just randomly ranting at a lack of software installation standards. Until DEBs work with RPM systems, or RPMs work on DEB systems, or quite simply until ONE package format is made universal, I will continue to complain.
Also, it's a good way to spread knowledge of Zero Install since it's the only GOOD solution so far it seems.
Seriously, Michael, when are you going to cover that major problem on Linux and what progress, if any, is being made towards a unified standard? This issue should be PARAMOUNT to anyone interested in getting games onto Linux as a platform. For any and all developers, and users, having one solution for installing and registering software on user's systems across all distros is critical for widespread Linux adoption. No one wants to compile their software against 10 different distros, and users shouldn't want that either. It's a form of DRM in a sense, and is almost like Steam, because if you decided to change distros and you only had an RPM or DEB for a game you bought, you'd be screwed with a pineapple. Seriously, it's ridiculous.
Of course you could brew your own soup, no problem (Arch, Gentoo and a 'real' distro like LFS lolz) But standards dictate, so if you want all game developpers to port to a layer and want that layer to keep binary compatibility and keep being developped to stay up-to-date with new libs then they should check out LSB.
So you can complain to game developpers instead of the ecosystem.
You are ridiculous to think that games are what everyone cares about.
First off, you are talking about closed source, commercial software, for which there are lots of developers even for linux, and they have absolutely no problem with it. NO PROBLEM. They can make a manual installer, statically link whatever they need, and install if all under /opt/programname/, just like they would under Windows.
It's not an issue, it's not even harder. Or they can spend one developer 1 day to fix a deb, rpm, whatever the fuck you want.
You speak of compiling their software against 10 different distros, for which you prove you have absolutely no idea what this means.
It's not a DRM in the slightest.
You can easily make a DEB and RPM that will work with any system, completely without dependencies. Just a quick and easy install-system.
Or you can just not use it, doesn't matter. Make a manual installer, make something like steam. You have complete freedom and there is no technical issues that's stopping you in any way.

Amazing Aha! Puzzles - Book
Product Information
Type | Lateral Thinking Puzzles |
Dimensions | 9 in x 6 in x 3/4 in / 22.9 cm x 15.2 cm x 1.9 cm |
Product Description
Author: Lloyd King
An outstanding puzzle book - blows others away by Bill Bultas, owner of Puzz.com Lloyd's lateral thinking puzzles first appealed to me when I worked through them in his Test Your Creative Thinking book by The Times/Kogan-Page. This book is even BETTER. 317 puzzles with absolutely wonderful illustrations. I fell in love with puzzles nearly 10 years ago, but my wife, a non-puzzler, is also enjoying this book. Well worth the purchase price.
Puzzles Are Fun by Philip Carter, prolific puzzle book author, UK
I like Lloyd King's puzzles! They are challenging, creative, often very amusing, and great fun. For me, this is a 5 star puzzle collection, indeed Lloyd is a 5 star puzzler, and has been for the 20 or so years that I have known him.
King sized creativity by David Coldwell of South Africa
Coming from a relatively puzzle-less background, I am a recent convert to the imaginative puzzle world presented by Lloyd King's special brand of AHA! creative magic. This beautifully presented book contains puzzles ranging from the relatively simple to the almost impossible. Fortunately all the answers, with full and elaborate explanations, are available in the book so the reader is not only able to obtain emotional release if the need arises (as assuredly it will!) but is also able to gain a real insight into the mechanics of a truly creative and imaginative mind and in so doing improve his/her own creative and lateral thinking. This is a highly recommended book.
I warmly recommend this book by Albert Frank - Mathematician
When I read Lloyd King's book, Amazing Aha! Puzzles, I had the impression it's one of the best puzzle books ever written. There are very few books involving lateral thinking - for sure, this one does. Lloyd, founder of the VINCI Society, has an incredibly high imagination and creativity. He perfectly summarises his views in his article 'Creative Thinking' at www.ahapuzzles.com.
Magical AHA! puzzles by Muhammed Veletanlic, Sweden
This genial book is one of three books written by the master of puzzles Lloyd King. This one is his latest and maybe the best one, even if it would be rather unfair to draw that conclusion, because every one of his books is very different and unique in it's own way. Lloyd's book Test Your Creative Thinking is the one that made me love puzzles. Amazing AHA Puzzles contains over 300 puzzles. The remarkable and amazing thing is that every single puzzle is very unique and doesn't resemble any other puzzle in the book. That shows the writers colorful and versatile imagination and creativity. English is not my native language, so in the beginning, I found some of the wordy puzzles rather difficult. The fine thing is that these puzzles will even make you think English and learn English in quite an unique way. Therefore, I would recommend Lloyd King's books even to those who want to learn English and be better at English. The book's wonderful illustrations show us that an amazing amount of energy and time has been invested into every page of this work of genius.
Puzzles Can Be Adapted for Training and Workshops by Elizabeth Lowe, Trainer, West Virginia, USA
How does one invoke an "Aha" moment? How do you lead people from bewilderment to clarity with simple drawings, letters, and numbers? Lloyd King has perfected the art of puzzles, packing them with a triple punch of outright satisfaction, humor, and surprise. If you are a trainer or workshop leader, these puzzles can be adapted for your use. The puzzles are great for ice breakers for any group or topic or could be used as exercises to support topics such as creativity, humor, or even change management.I have been a trainer and/or workshop leader for over twenty years and am always looking for new ideas and ways to adapt existing materials to my training needs. Let me give an example how you can adapt Lloyd's puzzles as an ice breaker.
* Find out the number of participants in your workshop or session.
* Prior to your workshop pick out some puzzles from Lloyd King's book.
* You can simply redraw the puzzle on paper for each group.
* Consider dividing the workshop participants into small groups of 5-6 people.
* Offer participants an overview of the exercise. "Each group will be given a puzzle to solve. You have five minutes to work together and solve it. You will need to pick a representative who will describe your process to the entire group."
* Allow participants 5 minutes to collaboratively solve the puzzle.
* At the end of the time period have the representative from each group come forward one at a time, show the puzzle to the entire group, and describe how they reached the solution. If the group did not solve the puzzle - open the challenge up to the entire group. Provide guidance if necessary.
Amazing Aha! Puzzles by Lloyd King by Kay Lindgren
Are you finding it hard to focus on your work? Are you stressed by the tedium there? Are you a writer or an artist going through a dry spell? Or are you just somebody who finds the daily crossword too easy and, therefore, hungers for some challenging puzzles? If any of these are you (and even if none are!) you should buy this book. It will give you a stimulating mental workout that will get your creative juices flowing so you can solve those problems at work or break out that creative dry spell. You will also laugh and go "Eureka!" as you work these wonderful puzzles. I give it three thumbs up! The puzzles are truly amazing. Try them. Enjoy the good feeling you get when you solve one!
Excellent puzzle book for any puzzle lover by Monik Robichaud of 'Quotagrams.com'
I've been buying puzzle books for over 25 years, and finally I feel I've spent good money with Lloyd King's "AHA" puzzle book. On days that I had a spare half hour in my day to just sit back, relax and enjoy "ME" time, I would pick this book to challenge my brain, flex it, and laugh along with it. Once this puzzle book is finished, I intend to buy his other book at Amazon, "Test Your Creative Thinking", because I just can't get enough. Well done!!
Highly Recommended by Brian Clegg of 'Creativity Unleashed Ltd.'
This isn't just a recreational book of puzzles, although they are great just for fun. The aim according to the author is to 'improve your ability to "think outside the box" and boost your creativity.' It's an attractive concept that has some validity. Just as we need to exercise our physical muscles to achieve more with them, we need to give our mental muscles workouts at problem solving and idea generation, and one way to do this is through using puzzles. There's plenty in there, 317 in all, ranging from the relatively trivial to the absolutely stumping. One or two are frustrating because the logic is a little twisted or depends on what something sounds like (risky if English isn't your first language), but there's certainly a good mental workout. Probably the biggest single lesson is to look at each problem you are faced with in a range of different ways. Don't take things at face value. Watch out for the assumptions. It's easy enough to chant this mantra, but much harder to do it in practice - that's where plenty of exercise comes in. Highly recommended.

Comments about idville 2" x 3" Quick Print Badge Refill:
We ordered these badges for our staff, and they look very professional. The fact that we can re-use them simply by peeling off the old label and typing up another one is a very useful feature. However, the biggest problem is the adhesive clip. It comes off fairly easily, which would not be such a bad thing, if replacements were available at a fair price. However, the only option is to replace the entire badge, and it comes in a bag that costs almost $200.00!We just spent a lot for the starter kit, and now that we are out of the backs, we need to spend again to buy badges that we don't really need!! I will buy it again, because I'm kind of stuck because of the initial investment, but I'll look for replacement adhesive pins elsewhere online. Would be nice if the retailer would offer this.

I need to share a couple things - maybe just to see if my head is on right and fully tightened down.
Recently I spent a lot of "up close and personal" time with a friend of mine who has about the same amount of years sober as me. It was harder for me than spending time with a new man who thinks he knows it all. This friend is on the brink of going back out - I can tell. This person has been feeling like drinking at least 3-4 times they told me about last week.
Now the person goes to meetings, and sponsors a couple folks, and most of the time talked about sobriety when they talked with me. But lately, it's been "all about me" and how the world and God have turned against this friend. Also it seems like a couple big resentments that I thought got took care of in the 4th step also started coming up. Lots of negativity and an attitude that is "fatalistic" as my sponsor would say.
Well it's got to the point that I don't want to be around this person any more. I catch myself almost feeling guilty waking up and welcoming a new day when this person is going through what they're going through. I try to talk about the program and keep on trying to help the person stay focused on just one day at a time. But it just seems like this is a train ready to have a major wreck.
Its one of those times where everything inside me is just telling me to back off. But the person is a friend, and it is getting real hard to keep on being a friend. If it were a guy I was sponsoring, I'd give him a twenty, and tell him go on and get it over with for crying out loud - if I was acting this way that's exactly the way my sponsor would do me. Maybe the way to say it is this person still counts on me as being a friend, but they are trying their hardest to push me away - out of their life.
But here's the trouble. When I back off, somehow some spiritual inspiration happens, and this person is back square in my path. Then when I help this person, which I no longer have any desire to do whatsoever, I see in short order that by being there, this person is helping me - and I'm not saying that to be "parroting" what everyone in the rooms say. I mean I actually see where my sobriety has been made stronger and more effective by helping this person.
I can't say if I've ever been a part of anything like this that has been quite as painful. On the one hand I'm heartbroken because I love this person and they are not the same person they used to be. I keep hoping and praying they will come back around. But on the other hand, it takes everything inside me and more (probably from God moreso than me) to keep from getting nasty or to retaliate when they get real stupid and personal with me - which has happened too many times already. I mean this person got mad at me and went ballistic when I caught them taking my change jar out of my house. But they apologized and tried to make it right after blowing up at me.
What I'm seeing as I post this is that I'm "burning out". That's how it feels - like I'm burning out.
The thought that keeps crossing my mind is why isn't this person working the steps? The spiritual principles in the steps can help this person overcome the adversity they are facing. Yet if I suggest something like that to them, they get all sensitive and I end up feeling like I'm taking their inventory. It would be a different story if this was a protege'. But its not - this is a friend who got sober with strong sponsorship and by taking constructive action before we knew each other with different places and with different people.
I don't know what to think or how to act anymore. I wouldn't go out and try to find friends like this - I don't want friends like this in my life because they are so negative. I'm really at a loss. I'm not even sure about how I should be feeling. "Love and tolerance" or "Here's a quarter call someone who cares"?
So there it is - what would you do if you were me? By the way, the person is a female, but there is no relationship things going on - and I don't have any wishes or desires for that to ever happen.

Besides the NCGS Newsletter, the Society is involved in an active publication program. Publications for sale are listed in this store. Current issues of the Newsletter are available to members only.
Our web store has a shopping cart function which allows you to add items, and see what they will cost, including tax and shipping and handling. You can also make adjustments, removing items or adding them to your cart until you complete the transaction.
We invite you to try it. Until you click "Complete Order" on the bottom of the last page, and pay at PayPal, no order is recorded.
In addition to the Store, we also have printable brochures:
