I get the thought of potentially dropping dead and missing out. That's a risk for sure.
However, we spend as much time aboard for 7 months as humanly possible and will try to get a week or two in the Caribbean this winter. This only works because we are working. In the end, we spend probably 90 days aboard each year, while working. Its pretty close.
If the plan works, we'll retire at 60 and spend 6 straight months aboard each year and 6 ashore doing day sails. If our health holds out, that should be good for the rest of our lives, or until we're physically unable to sail.
For me, I'm still shooting for that, rather than blow it all now. Just me.
This is a sound approach for me or us (me and wifey). We finished paying the kids college and getting them their cars, they both landed on a great career job right after their graduation. I thought we were done until my daughter decided to go to the med school this year, so now we have 4 more years to go before I am free.
I don't know if I can sail or stay in paradise non-stop for years and years. I will get bored on the boat. Both my wife and I have a good career and enjoy our work. I think sailing 70% and work 30% will be a good compromise. Therefore, whenever or wherever I want to come home, I will just haul out the boat and fly home to work for a few months and then go back to sailing. I guess I can do this until I die.
Fine Print:
I am old school. Integrity is to do the right thing even when no one is watching.

Whether it's a massive wind farm dotting an otherwise empty ocean or fresh lava doing battle with a huge ice cap, NASA's Earth Observatory has captured some remarkable views of our planet.
Collections of Landsat satellite imagery captured over 28 years, combined with Google Earth images, show the changing landscape of life on Earth.
On the 40th anniversary of NASA's Landsat satellite imaging program, we see a few stunning views of Earth from above.
You are being watched. From music festivals to political conflict, check out some of the most spectacular and startling satellite images of Earth captured in 2014.
The eighth spacecraft in a four-decade-long program to monitor the planet's surface is successfully boosted into orbit, kicking off an $855 million mission.
Landsat 8 has just completed its first year in operation -- and it's already recorded some fascinating changes on Earth's surface.
If the Earth stopped rotating, humans would instantly become supersonic tumbleweeds on a path of destruction. But would we live to tell about it?
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Landsat, Google releases time-lapse video and live surface imagery. Watching Vegas expand, as its own Lake Mead shrinks, makes for fascinating viewing.
Landsat has been watching Earth from space for four decades. As the next-generation LDCM satellite prepares to launch, we look at what Landsat has shown us so far.
Even Mother Nature appears to get in on the "Game of Thrones" action by spreading three low-pressure systems across the US that look like dragons.

Chicago Music Exchange Demos a '63 Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120
Posted: August 27, 2013
The staff at Chicago Music Exchange recently got their hands on a 1963 Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 and posted a video that got up close and personal to the classic guitar.
"We were lucky enough to purchase this from a pro player who owned, played and loved (ie. took meticulous care of) this guitar for a very long time. The original orange color is one of the most vibrant we've seen. The neck is smooth as silk and the thing practically plays itself and the Bigsby is extremely responsive and a joy to use. The filtertrons are chimey and thick sounding and even unplugged the guitar sings loud and clear," the vendor wrote in the guitar's description.
While Chicago Music Exchange's website notes that the guitar was recently sold, you can still get a great look at the Gretsch beauty in the video below.

In recent weeks, more than 50 pastors associated with traditionally African-American denominations traveled with Christians United for Israel (CUFI) to the Holy Land. The two trips were part of a series during the winter of 2012-2013 in which CUFI is taking more than 180 Christian clergy from a variety of denominations to Israel.
"There is no feeling or experience quite like visiting Israel. Here you walk where Jesus walked, you meet the people who have made the desert bloom, and you leave with an even greater understanding of why we must stand with the State of Israel," said Pastor Michael Stevens, CUFI's African-American outreach coordinator.
Trip participants visited holy sites, met with leading Middle East experts, and saw first-hand what daily life is like surrounded by extremism and unrest.
Stops on the trip included, the Sea of Galilee, Golgotha, the Western Wall, Yad Vashem, a visit with Israeli soldiers serving along the Jewish State's border with Lebanon, and a briefing by Khaled Abu Toameh, the Palestinian Affairs Correspondent for The Jerusalem Post.
"I stood with Israel for many reasons before, but after visiting and personally interacting with the people of that great nation, I have a new found love and affinity for Israel and its people. I stand with Israel like never before," Detroit-based Pastor Marlin Reid said upon his return.
"I will never forget what I saw, felt and learned during this trip to Israel. I believe it is imperative that as Christians we stand with the Jewish people and the Jewish State in their struggle for peace and security," said Iman Edwards, Elder Pastor at the Emmanuel Church of God in Christ in Katy, Tex.
In an effort to further foster interreligious dialogue, participants also visited Rabbi Shlomo Riskin's Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC), which helped underwrite the trip.
"We are honored to host pastors traveling to Israel with CUFI. Such trips foster the Jewish-Christian dialogue and equip these leaders with the tools and knowledge to engage their communities in support of Israel," Riskin said. "CJCUC is absolutely committed to advancing the dialogue between our two faith communities and continuing to build a relationship founded on mutual trust and respect."

Any chance the description and directions could get an upgrade? Shell is such a good crag; it deserves it. Not all the routes are in the new Handren guide too, so if they were listed here it would help avoid confusion. I do understand if locals don't want the information out in an attempt to keep it from becoming ghetto though. |

UPDATE: Fan Cast: Digimon
Now with more Digimon! (Note: There no DigiDestined in this cast because they very difficult to cast).
Follow spidey1994:
Director - Joss Whedon
To me, Joss seems like the perfect person to direct this movie.
Tom Fahn - Agumon
I just can't see anyone else play Agumon than the original voice actor, not the guy from the god awful Digimon: Data Squad.
Kirk Thornton - Gabumon
Like Tom Fahn as Agumon, I tried really hard to cast someone but I ended up with the original voice actor. We love ya Kirk!
Lea Michele - Biyomon
Now I am not a Glee fan (or Gleek if that's what you want to call it), but when watching Glee I thought Lea sounds alot like Biyomon.
Jeff Nimoy - Tentomon/Kabuterimon/MegaKabuterimon/HerculesKabuterimon
Jeff Nimoy wrote for the English version of the series and did the voice of Tentomon and his digivolutions I can only see him playing this character. We love ya Jeff!
Jena Malone - Palmon
I haven't seen Jena Malone in a lot of movies, but voice just reminds me of Palmon.
Shia LaBeouf - Gomamon
Now I really like Shia LaBeouf as an actor and he has a Gomamon-like quality to me.
Emily Browning - Patamon
She was the first person to pop into my head when I was thinking of Patamon and Patamon does sound like a girl despite being a boy.
Dianna Agron - Gatomon
I swear this is the last Glee cast member on this list! lol, but again she has a Gatomon-like voice to me.
Val Kilmer - Angemon/MagnaAngemon/Seraphimon/Pegasusmon/Shakkoumon (shared with Tom Hanks)
I like Val Kilmer, he's a really good actor and he was a pretty good Batman. He has a Angemon-like voice so I think would kick ass the role.
Sigourney Weaver - Angewomon
I think this is a perfect choice, she's a great actress and I can see her having chemistry with Val Kilmer since Angemon and Angewomon always teamed up.
Joseph Pilato - MetalGreymon
I bet most of you are wondering why I picked Captain Rhodes to play MetalGreymon, well it's because he was the voice of MetalGreymon in the show! I know totally blew me away when I found that out lol.
Christian Bale - WarGreymon
I think we need a badass actor to play a badass Digimon.
Susan Sarandon - Magnadramon
A great actress and she sounds alot like Magnadramon.
Derek Stephen Prince - Veemon/ExVeemon
He did an awesome job in the show, I just had to bring him back.
Tom Hanks - Armadillomon/Ankylomon/Shakkoumon (shared with Val Kilmer)
Tom Hanks sounds exactly like Armadillomon it's uncanny!
Steve Blum - Flamedramon/Raidramon/Magnamon
Steve Blum kicks ass! I had no idea he was in the show until years later, it would be blasphemy not to bring him back!
Ryan Reynolds - Wizardmon
If Wizardmon sounded younger, I believe Ryan would do a kick ass job.
Matthew Lillard - Sukamon
I think this is an awesome choice.
Jack Black - Chuumon
A absolute perfect choice in my opinon, I defenitly see him and Lilard being a great comedic duo.
Frank Welker - Parrotmon
Frank Welker can do anything! He can make himself sound like a parrot!
Christopher Lee - Devimon
Christopher Lee has an awesome voice for a villain, he is a perfect for Devimon!
Nathan Fillion - Etemon/MetalEtemon
Just make Nathan Fillion do an Elvis impression then we have Etemon.
Hugo Weaving - Myotismon/VenomMyotismon/MaloMyotismon
I think Hugo Weaving made a great Meagtron, I think he would kick ass as Myotismon.
Nolan North - Piedmon
Nolan North is awesome he is a phenomenal voice actor just make him sound like a court jester and he'll be perfect!
Neil Patrick Harris - MetalSeadramon
I don't why but Neil would be a great MetalSeadramon.
Liam Neeson - Apocalymon
Liam Neeson is awesome, he was the first thing that popped into my head when casting Apocalymon.
Marnix Van Den Broeke - Diaboromon
Now I know what your thinking, "Who the hell is Marnix Van Den Broeke?" Well if you a Doctor Who fan and you've been watching Series 6 recently, this guy does the voice for The Silence! He did such an awesome voice for The Silence he just popped in my head when I was casting Diaboromon.

I don't like any of the original choices, the biggest two worst ones are kilmer and weaver... kilmer sounds nothing like angemon and angewoman is supposed to sound like a goddess and not an old ass kicking lady.. god I feel nerdy now.

Matt Damon Talks About the Last Time He Saw Philip Seymour Hoffman
Since Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away tragically last weekend, his Hollywood community has come out in spades to mourn the loss of one of their most valued talents. A number of stars took to social media, celebs like Michelle Williams and Justin Theroux stopped by his ex-partner's home to pay their respects, and now Matt Damon is sharing his final memory of his fellow Oscar-winning pal. As a part of his Monuments Men press tour, Matt participated in a Reddit AMA on Thursday, February 6, where he was asked about his relationship to the Hunger Games: Catching Fire star. So were the two close? "I mean, pretty close," Matt shares. "We worked together a long time ago and I would see him here and there, all over the place. I'd go to his plays at the Labyrinth and I saw him just last year, we were working on Monuments Men and had dinner with him." Labyrinth is the NYC theater company that Philip helped to found in 1992. Not only had the two respected actors interacted socially, they also co-starred in the 1999 thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley. Though they weren't as close as they once were, they still would see each other from time to time while supporting one another's projects. In fact, Matt remembers the last time he saw PSH vividly. "The last time I saw him, I took my oldest daughter to [The Hunger Games: Catching Fire] premiere in LA and we had a chat before the movie started," he recounts. "It's just incredibly weird that he's not around anymore." Philip was laid to rest in a private funeral service today in NYC, with close A-list friends like Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Joaquin Phoenix in attendance.

I need a bit of help... (Vacuum and PCV)
October 10, 2010, 11:39:35 AM »
I feel a little dumb about asking what I'm about to ask, but I need some help from folks who know their way around an original 327. I've included pictures below to aid in what I'm talking about.
When I bought my 67 (with original 327, aftermarket Edlebrock Performer Intake Manifold and Carburetor) whoever had done the motor work had done some weird stuff to it. The plain jane chrome valve covers they used had a total of four breather caps, and no PCV set up. The thing was slowly blowing oil all over the valve covers, as I suspect the crankcase has too much pressure in it, and fine particles of oil were getting all over. I was constantly having to wipe it down. Also (see pictures below), there was this 'thing' that I would like to assume is some type of original PCV valve, at the back of the engine near the distributor. The vac line coming off of it went to the main vac port on the carb. Well, I decided to figure out what was going on, and dig into this a little bit.
So, I pulled off the main vac line to the 'thing', and discovered that someone had plugged the main vac tube in the carb with a sealant, and in the hose attached to it, had stuffed a tire valve cap and more sealant. Obviously to prevent it from doing what it was suppose to do. I figured this was the source of my problem. So I set out to buy new valve covers, with only two holes (one in each cover for for breather caps, and PCV valve) instead of the four I had. I got them installed, put on a new Edlebrock breather cap in one, and in the other, I hooked up a PCV valve and ran it to a 'T' connector at the main vac port on the carb, and hooked it up. On the other end of the "T" I hooked up that original vac line that was clogged and going to the 'thing' at the back of the engine. (Yes, I cleaned out the tube, and cut off about 2 inches of vac line to get out the sealant and the valve cap). I also took the time to change my spark plugs (the old ones came out, did not look completely 'normal', and appeared to be slightly 'wet', with a mild build up on the 'ground' (side) electrode). I gapped the new ones at .035).
Anyway, the engine is burning oil... slightly. I can see it exit each exhaust pipe... so whatever is causing the oil to burn is happening on both sides of the engine (as I have a dual exhaust system). I have not done a compression test yet, but am about to. (Side note, any idea of what kind of compression I should be seeing in this stock 327 on each cylinder?)
I figured the most likely culprit of this oil situation is the incorrect PCV set up... and before I go crazy, I'd like to know everything I'm dealing with... and for starters, WHAT is this 'thing' in the back of the engine block near the distributor? I don't believe it to be a oil pressure sending unit...
Let me add, I'm a novice when it comes to motors. I can do just about anything else with this car, and understand the fundamentals of engine operation, but am admitting to needing help with the more intimate operations of an engine, and this problem.
Any constructive help/criticism would help me. Thanks for your time everyone...
and I have it set up now...

Nice photos - makes it easy to diagnose!
The PCV system works by having manifold vacuum "suck" outside air into and through the crankcase, and then through the PCV valve (which meters the flow), and into the intake manifold, where the crankcase vapors are mixed with the incoming fuel/air charge and burned.
In '67, the standard engine ventilation system (shown in the Assembly Manual in UPC 6, sheet C5) used the adapter at the rear of the block (the "what is this" in your first two photos) with a hose to a PCV valve and a fitting at the rear of the carburetor base; outside air entered the crankcase through the vented oil fill cap on the oil fill tube at the front of the intake manifold.
The optional "closed positive" ventilation system (shown in the Assembly Manual in section K24) was a little different, and the flow direction was reversed from the standard system. A different adapter was used at the rear of the block, which connected via a hose to the air cleaner base, on the clean side of the filter element; this was the entry point for outside air into the crankcase. The exit point was the oil filler tube, which had a threaded bung in it for the PCV valve, then a hose to the carburetor base; the oil filler cap was sealed, not vented. Air entered the crankcase from the air cleaner, through the adapter, through the crankcase, then exited through the PCV valve on the oil filler tube, through the hose to the manifold vacuum connection on the carburetor base.
Your setup, as you received it, had no ventilation at all - only pressure relief through the breathers on the valve covers; it should have had a PCV valve where the hose connected to the carb base instead of being plugged, and the aftermarket intake manifold eliminated the original oil filler tube.
Your current setup with the "T" has a huge vacuum leak (from the "T" to the adapter at the rear of the block). To make it functional (and eliminate the vacuum leak) you can remove the "T" and do either of two things:
1. Run the hose from the PCV valve to the nipple on the carb base and cap off the nipple on the adapter at the rear of the block; that will use the breather at the rear of the passenger side valve cover as the entry point for outside air into the crankcase. Or,
2. Run the hose from the PCV valve to the nipple on the carb base. Run a hose from the adapter at the rear of the block to an elbow in the base of the air cleaner (Edelbrock has the elbow, and there should be a "knockout" in the air cleaner base where it attaches) as the entry point for outside air, and replace the breather on the valve cover with an oil fill cap.
Either of the above will give you a functioning PCV system, and will stop the oil misting.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Gómez de Castro, Ana Inés (1993) Subarcsecond images of CW-Tauri - constraints on disk size and jet formation. Astrophysical journal, 412 (1, Part 2). pp. 43-46. ISSN 0004-637X

Subarcsecond spatial resolution images in the [S II] and [N II] + Halpha emission lines of the T Tauri star (TTS) CW Tau are presented. It is shown that CW Tau has a jet that extends up to 2.2'' (300 AU) from the star in the direction P.A. = 144-degrees. The jet emits strongly in [S II], and it is already collimated at 1.3'' (176 AU) from the star. The images also indicate that CW Tau is extended in the east-west direction and that the jet is slightly shifted to the east. This suggests that CW Tau may be a binary with the two components separated 0.20'' (28 AU). The observations are compared with the theoretical models proposed for the production of forbidden line emission regions (FLERs) and protostellar jets.

Building an Icon Library
Our UX team is embarking on building a cross-company icon library, essentially a
web-based UI to a database so that developers can download icons from
one central location.
We identified personas and scenarios, focusing on the developer and the designer. (They obviously have very different
- everyone in the company can view and download icons across products- designers can update and add new icons directly to one database
- icon requesters can filling out a web-based form to request a new icon or set. (they do this by email now)
We are considering Drupal with add-ons and customization.- Have you completed a similar task using open source tooling? If so, I'd
appreciate any advice you have.- If you have done this, what tool did you use?
Thank you for your help.

Post IPO Report: Facebook Drops In Customer Loyalty Ranks, Down 7% In Brand Equity
The Facebook IPO has been a disaster for the social network, not just financially. BrandKeys, a brand and customer engagement consultancy, reports that the networking giant dropped from #1 to #5 in the Social Networking Category in their Customer Loyalty Engagement Index. The index polls over 49,000 consumers, 83 categories and 600 brands. As recently as February 2012, Facebook was at the top of the Social Networking list. Since the IPO Facebook has dropped below YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn to 5th place. Here are the top 10 performers on the Engagement Index:
- YouTube
- Yelp
- MySpace
- Four Square / Google +
- Flickr
- Quora
The drops come from some factors closely tied to the IPO debacle. The polls show a loss of 11% on self-image, and a 20% drop on trust & security. Other factors like ease of connection and brand value/content did however remain steady. Overall Facebook lost consumer engagement and loyalty, something that BrandKeys identifies as "the ultimate leading indicator of profitability," ending in a 7% loss in overall brand equity.
BrandKey's president, Rober Passikoff, shared the following on the decline of Facebook in the index:
"Its completely consumer-driven … First you need be resonant enough with consumers to make the list. Then were able to determine how well a brand meets or exceeds expectations consumer hold for the drivers of engagement and loyalty in the category. Five months ago Facebook was doing just fine."
The study also showed the rise of Pinterest, not listed in the top 10 in February to the 3rd spot on May 30th. For more information see BrandKeys.

Innovation + Communication – 2 Obvious Lessons From Apple's Latest Big Event
So, Apple had their newest big roll out yesterday. (Watch the WWDC keynote here). I am an Apple fan, but really only barely use my Apple devices (I have three; iMac, iPad, iPhone) to their capabilities. But I loaded the Macrumors live blog of the event, glanced at it frequently, and followed along. (And I kept looking for the announcement of the latest iMac, but, alas, it did not arrive. My son assures me it is coming soon).
From the moment that Siri started it off, to the multiple announcements, the faithful seemed more than satisfied with the latest good news. Here are two obvious lessons from yesterday's event. And, yes, they are obvious. But the fact that they are obvious does not mean that other companies and organizations have figured out how to match Apple.
Lesson #1 – keep improving, keep tweaking, and keep innovating. Make your really great products and services even greater. Again and again. From the devices to the software to the operating systems, what is insanely great about Apple now is better than what was insanely great about Apple a year ago, and we all know that by this time next year it will be even greater and better and cooler and "must have" all over again. They give us great stuff now, and will keep on giving us greater stuff tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
I don't even understand all of the ways they make it better. But I know it revolves around the entire package, the full constellation of offerings and capabilities – design, speed, ("faster, faster, faster, faster" – this was one of the mantras from yesterday) power, look, resolution, "retina display." Apple just keeps making every part of Apple, everything that is Apple, and everything that works with Apple, better.
But most of us do not learn this lesson in our work. It took me way too many years to realize that while I talked about and spoke about constant improvement, I practiced very little of it. Here's an example: for the first 13+ years of the First Friday Book Synopsis, my handouts for my synopses looked exactly the same: a plain, boring-looking, Word document, with no design appeal at all. Not too smart of me! I finally realized it was time (way past time) to make some changes on my handouts. We found a great designer to raise the look of our handouts to a new level. And I think they look terrific. And now, I have to figure out "so what's next?" to keep getting better. And, all along, I have to ask "how can I do my work better?" It really is never ending.
Lesson #2 – Communicate very well to all of your intended audiences. Call it what you want: learn to market; learn to sell; learn to call attention to; learn to create anticipation. Though the current crop of Apple messengers cannot match the brilliance of Steve Jobs, (who could?!), they have clearly learned some major lessons from the master. And yesterday was a sold-out, live-blogged, extravaganza of a show. With videos and slides and demonstrations and team-presentations and multiple awe-inspiring moments for the faithful, Apple still seems to be at the top of their game.
You can read all you want about the need for better hard skills. And many who write about those hard skills tend to almost look down on the place of those soft skills.
That is a really big mistake!
Apple's success revolves around these two realities; they make great products, and they sell them even better. Yes, this was part of the brilliance of Steve Jobs. But isn't it interesting that no other company has come close to matching this aspect of Apple's approach? Apple gets this – why don't the rest of us?
Let me put it simply and bluntly – if you do not know how to communicate what you do, what you have to offer, clearly and compellingly, with excitement and great passion, then your great product just may go undiscovered by a whole lot of folks.
Two lessons:
Lesson #1 – keep improving, keep tweaking, and keep innovating.
Lesson #2 – Communicate very well to all of your intended audiences.
How are you doing?
Putting Steve Jobs in perspective
Here is an excerpt from an especially insightful article written by Nancy Koehn. It is part of The Washington Post's recent On Leadership roundtable exploring Tim Cook's succession of Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple, and how to follow in the footsteps of an icon. At the conclusion of the excerpt, I provide links to several other outstanding articles. To read all of Koehn's complete article, please click here.
* * *
At this week's iPhone 5 launch, we have our first official glimpse into Tim Cook's leadership style as he takes the stage as Apple's CEO. Many wonder how Cook will handle running a business handed over by one of greatest leaders and entrepreneurs of our time, Steve Jobs. Jobs is an icon who forever changed the way we connect. However, he was not the first American business leader to exercise tremendous influence over the way people live and think about what is possible. And this is not the first time such a leader has been replaced.
True, Jobs is on a short list of great American entrepreneurs. Along with Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller and Estée Lauder, Jobs has had an exceptional ability to envision what could be: products and services we couldn't have imagined that we now can't live without. These leaders all share an intense passion, a driving persistence, a keen sense of strategy and a relentless focus on the details of executing their respective visions. In the 14 years since he returned to the company he helped found, Jobs has embodied all of these attributes (as Apple's long streak of product homeruns, its $350 billion market capitalization and its powerful brand attest). Given this context, the elephant in the room at the iPhone 5 launch is this: With Jobs gone, can Tim Cook carry the legacy?
Jobs has said he spent a lot of time selecting and developing his executive team. But Apple is not generally known for nurturing talent and giving its smart people the authority and scope to grow on the job. With Jobs's dogged focus on "what's next," as well as his reputation for holding the reins of power tightly, it is reasonable to ask whether he has had the bandwidth (and inclination) to develop a succession plan that could render him obsolete.
But, history offers up several examples of gifted, charismatic (and controlling) founders successfully passing the baton to their successors. Take Thomas J. Watson, Sr., at IBM. By the time his son, Thomas J. Watson, Jr., took over in the 1950s, many of his father's contributions had been baked into the company culture. Not only did this keep the organization from faltering during transition, it enabled the son to focus on the next stage of important changes as its market and customers evolved. At McDonald's, Ray Kroc, who did more to create the fast-food company than anyone else, built a team from inside the company that could carry his leadership torch after he was no longer as active in the business.
The most decisive factor in a successful leadership transition—and the reason IBM and McDonald's stayed strong—is whether the founder or CEO has effectively institutionalized his or her own contributions. Certainly those within Apple well understand Jobs's values and attributes: his painstaking attention to detail, his boldness of vision and his confidence in understanding what the consumer wants. And as a longtime member of the company's executive team, Tim Cook (who came to the company in 1998) has seen Jobs's work ethic, energy and hands-on management style up close.

Steve Jobs and Apple: A Rare Life in Rare Photos
On his last day as CEO, Steve Jobs announced that "Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it." That may be, but with the passing of the torch to former COO Tim Cook, it's safe to say that an era is over.
In the following gallery, BNET's Wired In blogger Erik Sherman looks at the iconic leader and the indelible mark he left on Apple — and the world — over the years.

For years I have considered the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to be an unsavoury organisation.
My disillusion really set in when I realised the ABC had no intention of giving fair and balanced coverage to the story of the century:accumulating evidence that the official story about 9/11 – Founding Myth of the "War on Terror" – is baloney.
That was years ago. Soon I realised the ABC's reporting about wars such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria is more like war propaganda than genuine impartial news coverage, that its narrative on Israel/Palestine is biased and deceptive – and that a strand of Judeophilia runs through the organisation that's inappropriate for a national broadcaster in a multi-cultural society.
In short, the ABC exercises bias and practises deception. These are not good traits for a publicly funded organisation. The ABC's Charter, remarkably, does not require the organisation to tell the truth. Staff – presumably with the Board's connivance – take considerable advantage of this convenient omission. We, the public, pay for a service that practices systematic deception and exercises gross bias on what are arguably the most crucial issues of the day – matters pertaining to war and peace.
Yet I've also acknowledged throughout that good people do work for the ABC and that some of its services are high quality – such as sports (although I don't honestly know because I rarely watch it), arts (usually BBC re-runs, but even so…), gardening (definitely fine Australian programs!) and local news. I usually threw in the latter acknowledgement out of a sense that at least at a local/regional level, ABC news coverage is likely to be reasonably truthful.
Whether it's true that the ABC's local/regional coverage is truthful and balanced throughout the continent is debatable. I should be honest and admit I don't listen enough to ABC Far North know. But it's nice to be charitable.
Yet whether or not local my ABC does do a good job reporting, interviewing and storing information about our ongoing political process, one thing is apparent. It is NOT keen on giving the public easy access to this information.
During the recent Queensland election campaign, I didn't catch any of the interviews conducted by ABC Far North with the candidates on local radio, but assumed I'd be able to access them online after the election. At the very least, I thought, interviews with winning candidates would be downloadable from the website – ideally (but not necessarily) with an accompanying transcript..
How wrong I was. When I checked, NO interviews with candidates were on the website. I phoned ABC Far North to ask if that could be rectified. My inquiries were treated like nuisance calls. When I finally spoke to the Station Manager she was abrasive from the outset and at one point remarked on poor rates of pay at the ABC as some kind of justification for not providing this material to the public via the ABC website. She referred me eventually to the "Cross Media Reporter". With her assent, he reluctantly promised to send me one audio file of the interview with my own new local MP – Michael Trout – by email. It arrived in my email the next day, without any conditions set as far as I could see. I put the file online on the website of a local community group and notified him, with thanks.
The next morning Sam the Cross Media Reporter called. He was extremely cross and demanded prompt removal of the audio file from the web, as it breached the ABC's copyright.
Of course I comply with legitimate copyright infringement notices (actually it's the first I've ever had!) and agreed to remove it. But I also asked him to put the file up on the ABC website, so I could still link to it. What's the harm in that – especially as his time had already been invested locating the file from ABC archives?
But no, Sam won't put this material on the ABC website and is vehement it has no "news value" at all.
I've issued a formal complaint to the ABC and we'll see whether it gets anywhere. Past experience has not been encouraging.
Here's a challenge to Mark Scott, ABC Managing Director, who himself maintains a 100% track record of never replying to my many tweets.
Why not let the PUBLIC decide what's got news value and what doesn't?
If members of the PUBLIC express interest, doesn't that indicate PUBLIC interest?
What are we expected to do? Organise a petition?
This is a small but not isolated case of ABC staff behaving like tin-pot dictators. Has the malevolent arrogance that so enrages informed people aghast at its one-sided coverage of certain overseas conflicts permeated the entire organisation?
I've always believed that funding a national – and local – public broadcaster is worth doing. But there must be truthfulness, diligence, accountability and responsiveness to the public.
If the local ABC can't be bothered to keep a publicly accessible archive of its own unique material of the ongoing political debate in this region, it should lose its contract.
The public should not have to beg or pay twice for information about our own democratic process – just as we should not have to plead for truthfulness.
Please note: all images on this webpage are the copyright property of the publicly funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
If the ABC hierarchy wishes them deleted a phone call will suffice and I'll strip the webpage bare of offending material, with a humble apology for inconvenience caused. The local station has my number.
Of course, it would be discriminatory if only my website alone is required to do this, so I presume any such instruction would be extended to all websites bearing any images sourced from the ABC website.
Before embarking on this course, ABC management may reflect on whether they wish to attract howls of derision from thousands of webmasters and web-mistresses – all for behaving as though it has an impediment at the read end of the alimentary canal.
You may be able to shrug me off Mr Scott – but beware the wrath of the blogosphere en bloc.

Details Transparent 3/16" (4.76mm) acrylic templates for proper router placement and cleaner results when installing our battery boxes. These templates can be positioned with double-stick tape. We recommend ball-bearing router bits for best results.
STEWMAC ROCKS By JOSUE from MEXICO (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, July 24, 2014 Great stuff, I thougt the template would be softer or easy break but it is not, it is a great product, and only took 14 natural days to get to Mexico, Keep on rocking Stewmac.
This is a necessity By pdbutler from Canoga Park, CA (Customer's Reviews) Saturday, August 24, 2013 Don't even think about trying to rout out for a battery box without using this template. For about eleven bucks you get CNC accuracy. And the double stick tape they sell here is a VERY good idea. As they say, nuf said.
idot resistant solution By Tom Bramhall from Huntsville, AL (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, September 01, 2011 With this and their router bits with guide bearing it is hard to mess up. A creative idiot could mess it up, but with due diligence results ought to be great.
Quality Template By flyingv from manitoba (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, August 25, 2011 I haven't used it yet, but have used other stew-mac templates. They are all great, you just need to take your time, and learn how to use them properly. It is also a great idea to make thicker templates out of MDF first, because if you mess up your master templates, you'll have to order new ones.
Works Well By MarkWarner from Norman, OK (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, February 23, 2011 I used this template to install two dual-battery boxes into two different guitars. It worked fine, and the battery boxes fit well.
yip yep By James Love from Z-Tron (Customer's Reviews) Sunday, November 14, 2010 Have yet to actually use this... not many battery box install jobs coming in, but i'm sure i'll love it.
