First Year of Collector Distribution
The Finest PCGS-Certified Specimen
On this 1858-dated Seated half dollar, the date is slightly above center in the space between the base and border, with the 5 nearly touching the base. Carefully made dies show few identifying characteristics. Short points project from dentils over the cap and star 9, and the rightmost part of the rock below Liberty's foot has missing detail from lapping. The reverse has numerous faint die lines in the fields, along with a projection from the right side of the fourth vertical stripe.
Both sides of this lovely Superb Gem proof have deeply mirrored proof surfaces with light cameo contrast. The design elements are bold as expected. Delicate gold toning is lighter at the center with increasing intensity approaching the borders. Splashes of brilliant blue and pale violet add to the overall eye appeal of this example. The surfaces show faint planchet striations that are remnants of the minting process. An amazing coin for the specialist or type collector. This is the sole finest PCGS-certified survivor by two points (7/11).

You're one interaction away from the life you want
Jul 8th
By Srinivas Rao, Contributing {grow} Columnist
The headline for this post I think is a very applicable philosophy to approaching the social web.
If you have really immersed yourself in this world you've probably experienced what Mark calls this wonderful random synergy of social media by now. You're probably forming amazing new relationships, but have you ever wondered how this happens? What is the process?
Between running a podcast and talking to people on Twitter, I spend an absurd amount of time building relationships with people online. While I wish I could boil it down to an exact science, I can't. I form great relationships with some people and with others nothing seems to materialize. I've had guests on my podcast that I seem to get along with and then never talk to me again and don't even tweet the interview I did with them. There's something about building relationships online that you can't really quantify or distill into a formula. I call it the "click factor."
There's really no step by step guide for creating the click factor with people online. Everybody seems to find different things that make them click with each other. For some it's a common interest while for others it's a similar sense of humor that ties them together. The hardest thing about understanding the "click" factor is that it really can't be forced. It's something that has to occur naturally and if you open yourself up to new people a world beyond your wildest dreams will emerge.
What Makes us "Click" with Each Other?
It's no secret that if somebody flatters you, you'll have a tendency to like them. But we have to be careful not to take this too far given that people will see right through your insincerity. The other thing to note is that your flattery might even be completely ignored. Where we really start to click is when we get beyond flattery and find ourselves in an ongoing conversation that seems to go from hours to days to weeks to months. Pay close attention to who these people are in your own network because they're the ones you've really clicked with. There's people that I've been talking to on twitter for months on end and probably will for as long as Twitter is around because we simply click.
3 Clicking Case Studies
Bud Hennekes: Bud Hennekes is a young blogger who I interviewed a while back. Truth be told I didn't really like him that much because he told me about all the things that were wrong with my blog Skool of Life. To his credit he was spot on about all of them and when I made those changes, all of a sudden he was much more interested in what I was up to. Over time Bud has been a big supporter of everything I've done and has made predictions about how "massive" BlogcastFM will be. When somebody believes in what you're doing like that, you can't help but want to be in their corner. The more you believe in someone else the more they'll believe in you, especially if you kiss a few digital babies.
Crystal Street: Crystal Street is somebody I consider a great friend online. She does amazing photography work and I can't even recall exactly how we connected. But it wasn't long before I found myself talking to her almost every single day about surfing, photography, travel and everything else. Something about her inspired me and I'm guessing something about me inspired her. As a result we just clicked. When you manage to inspire each other you almost tend to act as the fuel for each other's fire. We all need a bit of fuel for our fire. Figure out who yours is.
Jessika Hepburn: Jessika is the owner of OhMyHandmade a very popular site in the handmade community. I'm not really an avid reader of Handmade blogs, but I've connected a few members of the handmade niche because it turns out we have a very strong BlogcastFM listener base there. Jessica was recommended to me as potential guest by another one of our listeners. Even through our tweets I got a very friendly vibe from Jessika and I could tell I was going to like her. Just remember people can feel everything you say, even if it is digital. After our chat, I sent Jessica copy of my e-book and based on her response it was clear we had really clicked. We had very similar ideas of how relationships are built online. We don't have much in common in terms of our blogs, but somehow we still clicked, which is why you should talk to plenty of people outside your niche.
What is the common theme? There isn't one! And yet the Cllck Factor is undeniable. How is the Click Factor working for you? Is there any rhyme or reason to your online relationships?

Social media and the end of empathy
Jul 7th
Why am I using a picture of a large mouth bass on a blog post about social media and business? Seems a little fishy doesn't it? Well I didn't use this for the halibut. There is a very relevant story with a lot of marketing mussel. A story on a grand scale, you might say.
When I was a young sales guy I learned a very important lesson about customer relationships and empathy from a fishing trip.
My company was struggling through a massive quality issue that was threatening my customer to the point that it was shutting down their production lines … and THEIR customers' production lines. In business terms, this was an apocalyptic problem and it eventually resulted in the largest quality claim in the history of my company.
Nerves were beyond frayed. I remember spending one Labor Day weekend sorting through reams of lot numbers in search of alternatives that might work. We couldn't find any and I was forced to make an excruciating call. I had to tell a plant manager that every lot of our material in his plant, every lot in transit, and every lot in our inventory was defective. We were going to shut his plant down, maybe for weeks.
Months before, this customer and I had become good friends on a company-sponsored fishing event. Yes, businesses used to do that kind of thing. Believe me, when you spend eight hours in a bass boat with one guy, you get to know him pretty well! We had shared a lot of our life stories and created a great memory on this trip.
As I made the phone call and delivered the news, I held my breath. There was shocked silence at the other end of the phone. Finally, my customer said, "Schaefer, the next time we're in a fishing boat together I'm going to toss you out!"
He was able to use our shared experience and friendship to break the tension and tell me in an empathetic and humorous way that he knew it wasn't my fault and that we would get through this crisis together.
The days of conducting business based on these deep relationships is largely over I think — relationships that were built on a golf course, a boat, long dinner conversations — not text messages, online help functions, and customer service tweets.
Ten years ago, if you had a business crisis, you could probably count on those deep relationships to help pull you through, at least to a certain extent. Today, and especially after the recession, people just don't have time for relationship-building. I can't imagine inviting a customer to a weekend of golfing any more. Everybody is doing what used to be three jobs. Who has the time for building business friendships?
I wonder about the long-term implications for business when relationships are negotiated through spreadsheets and emails. I have an image in my mind of that United Airlines commercial where a businessman laments losing a customer because they never saw them. He proceeded to hand out airline tickets for customer locations.
Maybe there will be backlash and a re-focusing on deep relationships at some point. There was recently a story about tech start-ups scrambling for office space near Twitter because of the live networking opportunities. Kind of ironic. Seeking deeper offline relationships with people dedicated to spreading low-impact online relationships.
Obama's Town Hall Meeting versus Twitter Truth
Jul 6th
The premiere social media event of the week is U.S President Obama's "Twitter town hall," today. The president will take questions posed through the #askobama hashtag during a discussion moderated by Jack Dorsey, a co-founder of Twitter.
The White House said it wants the talk to focus on the economy, but Mr. Obama is sure to get asked all sorts of things when he takes questions from the Twitterverse. But is this really going to reflect what the Twitter Nation wants to hear, or is this just going to be a political dog and pony show?
I wondered … would it be possible to use analytical tools to actually predict what questions would be used today? Of course it all gets down to the judgment of a few people actually setting the agenda, but at least based on the volume of suggested questions coming in, what should the Town Hall discussion be about?
Our loyal {grow} community member Dan Holowack was up to the task. He offered to put his proprietary software tool, TwitSprout, to the test to try to predict the agenda today. It will be interesting to see if the actual questions in today's meeting line up with Dan's predictions. Here is his analysis:
The Town Hall and Twitter Truth
My team has literally stayed up all night analyzing well over 10,000 unique questions in the hours leading up to the deadline. As you can see, there has been a frenzy of increasing activity:
Looking for tweet themes
It's still an open problem in artificial intelligence for computers to "understand" human language, even in constrained settings like this one. Separating the real questions from the garbage is therefore more of an art than a science — we were forced to use a bunch of heuristics for this initial pass, but our tests indicate that they work quite well. According to this measure, just under 60% of all #AskObama tweets are genuine questions.
Once we identified the "legitimate" questions, they were passed through further filters to combine tweets that are just retweets or quotes of one another, to bring the quantity down to a more manageable level. Finally, these tweets were sorted in descending order by popularity and influence, and one of our team members went through them manually, grouping them into high-level categories ("Jobs", "Taxes", etc) by hand. By adding together all of the tweets in these categories, we can get a real sense of which topics are on the minds of Americans.
Our Predictions
To predict which questions Mr. Obama will answer today, it would be nice to know how they're being chosen. According to Twitter, the team at Mass Relevance (plus Jack Dorsey) are the ones entrusted with curating and selecting the lucky tweets. Nobody can be sure exactly what their selection process will look like, but it's safe to say it'll be some combination of the following:
1. Random selection: In true democratic fashion, all tweets might be treated equal and have the same chance of being picked at random. While nobody can complain about the fairness, it might lead to some really strange results.
2. Sheer numbers: The best questions are being retweeted hundreds of times, and the cream is really rising to the top. The team could select the most retweeted and RT'ed tweets as the questions the most Americans care about.
3. Popularity contest: There are many ways of measuring influence on Twitter — whether it's Klout, follower count, or your TwitSprout dashboard. However they choose to measure it, the questions asked by the most important people might be the lucky ones.
4. Politics as usual: Of course, it's not impossible that the White House has already "vetted" a series of questions from their own talking points, and the team is simply looking for people on Twitter who asked the same things.
We can't do much about #1 and #4, but the information we've gathered gives us everything we need for the other cases. Questions will still be coming in, but assuming nothing dramatic happens, these are the most popular and the most influential questions so far.
"Most Popular"
If all that matters is quantity, these are the tweets that have gathered the most retweets, quotes, and RTs:
#1 (with 2,907 retweets): "Would you consider legalizing marijuana to increase revenue and save tax dollars by freeing up crowded prisons, court rooms?"
#2 (with 1,567 retweets): "You've said many times that the Bush Cuts for the 2% Should Expire. Can you promise to let them in 2012?"
#3 (with 750 retweets): "Mr. President, why should you not be held responsible for your silly prediction that unemployment would stay below 8%?"
"Most Influential"
If we look for the tweets made by the most influential users — those with the most Klout and followers — we get a different set (although they have one tweet in common!)
#1 "Tech and knowledge industries are thriving, yet jobs discussion always centers on manufacturing. Why not be realistic about jobs?"
#2 "Mr. President, why should you not be held responsible for your silly prediction that unemployment would stay below 8%?"
#3: "Why do we have 1.5 million fewer jobs than we did before the stimulus when the # of ATMs is unchanged?"
"By Category"
Thanks to our manual grouping of tweets, we can also figure out which categories are the most popular (even if the team chooses some other specific tweet to represent it). There's always a bit of subjectivity involved when making some of the decisions here, but most of our results should surprise nobody:
#1 Legalization of Marijuana (4,911 total tweets and retweets)
#2 Jobs (2,024 total tweets and retweets)
#3 Taxes (1,800 total tweets and retweets)
#4 Economy and Debt Ceiling (442 total tweets and retweets)
The one surprise is the winner of this category — marijuana laws. Regardless of which side of this debate his opinion happens to fall, if the president doesn't address this point during tomorrow's discussion, somebody is avoiding the data. By a landslide, this is what the Twitterverse wants to know.
The post-mortem
This section of the blog post was added AFTER the Town Hall event. How did it turn out?
What did we get right? We feel we matched the major categories of things Obama focused on — tax cuts, the debt ceiling, and job creation — but that wasn't very difficult to do. More specifically, we nailed the third tweet Obama answered:
Tech and knowledge industries are thriving, yet jobs discussion always centers on manufacturing. Why not be realistic about jobs?
This one was right on our dashboard, and we had singled it out because @Kim, a very high-Klout user, was one of the many who put their weight behind it. The White House chose the earliest version of the tweet, by @dmscott (with slightly lower Klout), but the logic is clear — this tweet was chosen for the high-level support it received.
Another one we expected, but for a completely different reason, was Obama's 8th:
Mr. President, In several states we have seen people lose their collective bargaining rights. Do you have a plan to rectify this?
According to our calculations, at the time of the Town Hall, this tweet had been mentioned, retweeted, or RT'ed over 182 times — making it the 4th-most active tweet in the Jobs category, and 14th overall. This is high enough to be on our list of likely predictions, although not high enough to earn one of the few spots on the Dashboard itself. Even though the tweeter, @pmglynn, is not very influential (with only around 100 followers), the question itself generated a lot of discussion and interest. It was an excellent candidate, and both TwitSprout and Obama appear to think so.
We definitely stand by all the predictions we made — there was solid reasoning behind each of them, and we're confident they would have made excellent questions; however, there are a couple of predictions we didn't make that, in hindsight, probably would have made sense.
The most obvious omission is @johnboehner's provocative tweet:
After embarking on a record spending binge that's left us deeper in debt, where are the jobs?
At the time of the Town Hall, this question had been propagated 79 times: a nontrivial amount, but only enough to place it in 10th place in the Jobs category, and much lower overall. There are two things that should have tipped us off about it, however:
- Even though @johnboehner's Klout is only 69, his influence on President Obama is considerably higher. His position as Speaker of the House undoubtedly played a role in Mass Relevance's decision. Of course, there's no automated tools that would detect this. We simply should have thought of it.
- Even though the full form of the tweet had only 79 propagations, the snappier version "Where are the jobs?" by itself had 341 of them — enough to place it in 2nd place in the Jobs category, and 6th place overall, which would certainly have gotten our attention — except that this tweet didn't make sense to us, since we didn't see it in context with Boehner's tweet (they were far apart in our rankings). Of course, we had algorithms to detect subtle rewordings between tweets, but these two didn't trigger them.
We might as well come out and address the elephant in the room. It was obvious to anyone who had followed our predictions, those of Simply Measured, or paid even casual attention to the #AskObama stream, that there was one topic getting a large share of the buzz: the legalization of marijuana. Although the topic of the Town Hall was ostensibly about the economy, it was becoming clear that people did think of this as an economic issue. By our measurements, the two most popular tweets of the entire stream, were:
Would you consider legalizing marijuana to increase revenue and save tax dollars by freeing up crowded prisons, court rooms?
Pres. Obama: Why can't we discuss legalizing cannabis to create jobs and save millions annually on enforcement?
These two messages accounted for more impressions than every question about taxation put together! An event that emphasizes popular opinion as a tool for accountability could surely not fail to address these questions in the depth they deserve; but, of course, the topic was notable only for its absence. The President discussed the war on drugs merely tangentially, for less than half a minute.
Ah, politics as usual : )
Thanks to Dan and and his team for pulling two all-nighters to produce this post!
A quick look at MS365, Kyoo and Triberr
Jul 5th
I rarely do tech reviews but I wanted to provide my experiences with three recent test drives, Microsoft 365, Kyoo and the controversial new Triberr application.
Microsoft 365
I have really been looking forward to this cloud-based office productivity application.
As a small business owner, putting my office management and document suite into the cloud can solve a lot of problems. I use a variety of access points — laptop, desktop, smart phone and iPad. I'm tired of all the syncing and not syncing and this is the future of efficient business management and communication.
The price is really sweet. I can get all the basic functionality for $6/month, This includes web conferencing, which I am currently shelling our $49/month to achieve through Citrix. It's worth the price of admission just for that. The basic Outlook functionality works great and office tools like Excel and PowerPoint offer most of the great features of the original.
And for that price, I am thinking of bringing all my freelance partners together under the same Sharepoint umbrella offered in this suite. Hey, I can act like a big company now.
It is going to take some time to really optimize this and learn how to leverage the capabilities — and that is the basic downfall. When I sign up for something like this, I want it to go POOF and magically integrate with my current Outlook software and basically just lay itself at my feet and say "Use me." Nope. First, there are instructions for the "administrator." The email tutorial includes comforting words like, "don't worry about set-up, your administrator will take care of that."
Dude. I AM the administrator.
There is no POOF. After several hours of manual setting manipulation and malfunctions, I am still not synched up all the way. I am especially having difficulty with multiple email accounts on Gmail and Yahoo. Coordinating the Google Apps seems much simpler. I'm wondering if MS rushed this to market to be cloud-worthy? Online support is nearly non-existent.
I'm hanging in there because long-term I know this is the way to go — and the cost/benefit is tremendous – but it has been frustrating for a small business owner to spend so much time on set-up.
Kyoo Channels
I first saw this technology in action at Social Slam. It was an eye-popping interface that organized the social media wall of noise in a very compelling way. This channels development is something new and just launched last week.
This is something to use when you want to find and follow all the online buzz about a particular topic. Let's use Google as an example.
People are talking about Google, especially with the recent launch of Google+. And while many of us are using networks like Twitter and Facebook, in addition to blog posts and news articles to follow what people are saying about it, it's historically been hard to follow the buzz around a topic across a variety of social platforms and news sources without having to visit each website individually. Kyoo Channels is hoping to change that.
Channels enables users to easily follow and interact with the online buzz surrounding popular trends and hot topics in real-time. Kyoo.com is a constantly updated content aggregation website that dynamically displays social content, images and videos surrounding a variety of topics, each on its own visual dashboard.
Each "Kyoo" displays the online buzz surrounding a specific topic – from Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, social bookmarking websites, major news sources and blogs.
Current "Kyoos" span a variety of topics – from news and political topics such as the Casey Anthony trial and Barack Obama, to celebrities like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, to viral sensations such as "People of Walmart" and Pottermore, to lifestyle trends like extreme couponing and home brewing, and everything in between.
Give it a spin and let me know what you think.
Triberr seems to be one of the most controversial developments in blog land. Simply put it allows you to join a group that automatically tweets all of your new blog posts.
I was an early adopter because my friend Dino Dogan is a founder and asked me to try it out. I ran into problems early on when the tribe added members who created posts that were inconsistent with what I would normally tweet. I had to leave the group and start my own hand-picked tribe.
There are a few bloggers who are consistently so excellent I always tweet their posts. People like Stanford Smith, Jeff Bullas, Neicole Crepeau, and Jon Buscall. So we have our own little group going now.
There is a distinct ickiness factor to Triberr because it flies in the face of Twitter authenticity — tweeting a post before reading it. But from a practical standpoint, it saves me a lot of time. I literally tweet every post from these guys any way so this allows me to offer quality content without digging through my blog reader every single day.
Triberr has added new features constantly, the most important being an option to operate in "manual mode." This way, you can review queued posts and approve them before you tweet. Without this feature, I never would have bought into Triberr.
The problem is, many people probably won't go to manual. So there is a distinct danger of these tribes becoming unwieldy and clogging our streams. It all gets down to people and their motives and we'll probably see all flavors of strategies emerge.
In recent days, Triberr has received a lot of coverage, both pro and con but the posts I've seen miss an essential point. Why would people resort to auto-tweeting in the first place? Why don't they just concentrate on providing insanely good content that people will WANT to tweet?
The simple answer is that the path to breaking into the ranks of elite bloggers is stacked against good content.
With the way blogs are rated, either by Alexa, Post Rank or Ad Age, there is a cumulative effect of backlinks. For example, there was one blog in the Ad Age Top 50 that had not been updated since 2009. Likewise, a long-time blogger like Chris Brogan may never fall out of the Top 50, even if he never blogs again because of the permanence of the links to his blog.
I also think that in many cases SEO trumps content. Over the past six months a bevy of SEO blogs have been inexorably marching up the AdAge Power 150 list. I'm not saying they don't have good content, but I guarantee you they have good SEO. As an independent, solo blogger, I can't bring that kind of fire power to my blog. And neither can you. That's a big reason people are turning to a shortcut like Triberr. It's a sprint to get a lot of attention because it's increasingly unlikely that a marathon of great content will work. My hunch is that if there were 50 SEO-focused blogs all aimed at getting onto the AdAge list, eventually all 50 would get there.
In other words, if you are a new or emerging blogger, it is going to be extremely difficult to get ahead on content alone. I find this a disturbingly sad fact but the reality of the situation. No matter how hard we work, we can't overcome this legacy of backlinks, if these ratings are important to you.
The current grading systems could drive a focus on SEO gamesmanship over quality content. We need a better accounting of blog efforts to give everybody a fair perspective of who is delivering great work. For example, a better system would feature a rolling 12 month average of content, comments, tweets, backlinks etc. You would have to "earn" your place every month, not just sit on history. This would at least give people a chance to be the best "now" rather than have to fight against this impenetrable legacy with systems like Triberr.
As for me, I intend to use Triberr in only a very exclusive and limited way as long as my most trusted blogging buddies continue to deliver the goods!

Want a unique system against the Closed Sicilian? No longer do you have to just drop knights into d4. GM Khachiyan shows that leaving the long dark-squared diagonal open can restrain all of White's queenside pieces. The king's bishop is the lion tamer, and the circus of pieces is definitely more enjoyable from Black's seat. White's thrusts go nowhere, and once the center collapses and the c-file opens, it is him wearing the clown suit. | Watch video
How many of the Seven Wonders of the World can you name? It doesn't matter - what GM Khachiyan wants more is for you to know the Seven Elements of Evaluation. Just like the pyramids, they've stood the test of time. How many of them can you name? Watch Part 1 of his new series, which features a battle of two World Champions, and you'll ace his test! | Watch video
Three stalemate traps for your viewing pleasure today. The first is a study, the second is a recent game and the third is just mind-boggling. Well, it can't really be mind-boggling since neither of the players in the game have a mind. Two computers engage in what could be the best practical stalemate resource ever played by a non-human! That's a weird award, but suffice to say you'll enjoy IM Kiewra's presentation of the seldom-used defense. We trust the computer got a big laugh after using it! | Watch video
Should you analyze the games of lower-rated players? GM Dzindzi does, and he used to compete against world champions! Even our lecturer benefitted form today's game. The lesson? Speed kills, or rather, lack thereof. Black hesitates too much in this opposite-side castling position, and White actuates open files first. There's no tardy slip for the second player - only a loss, and hopefully, a lesson. | Watch video
GM Bojkov's talented student is back. Today you'll see one of the games that helped Dom gain nearly 500 rating points. Black gets two pieces for the rook, and all of the fun. White's major pieces shuffle around listlessly as Coach Bojkov shows Dom constantly improving the worst-place piece. Sometimes that is even the king! Watch and see the torturous straightjacket that White is forced to wear. | Watch video
GM Finegold is back with his usual mix of humor and insight. He even makes seemingly lifeless endgames fun to watch! Today he will make so many king moves "you'll get dizzy." The grandmaster beats a world youth champion despite the position looking defensible. You'll also hear what his advice is when playing against young stars. But the big question is, what obscure 1980s movie reference will he slip into his commentary? | Watch video
Going for opposite colored bishops out of the opening? Why not? GM Bojkov concludes his series by showing that many openings have this as a possibility, and if you know what you're doing, you can still fight for the win. He goes in depth with a fine win by Spasov, who shows elements of Spassky and Karpov - maybe that's how he got his name!? | Watch video
Having explained all the ins and outs of OCB middlegames and endgames, today GM Bojkov shows a pair of examples where the winning side transitions to the OCB position. Often this means trading for your opponent's knight, thus giving him no way to compete with your unmatched bishop. From there, you can use the grandmaster's principles from earlier videos to maneuver for the win! | Watch video
Not every game is a tactical melee. Today GM Khachiyan admits that he did "nothing special" - but there is beauty in simplicity. He's the king of practical play, and he chooses the most solid moves at every turn, stifling his opponent. Don't let Melik grab hold of an open file or let him latch on to a weak pawn. You'll be given a lesson in Karpovian style, but it'll cost you the point. | Watch video
Determined not to lose a worse position, GM Khachiyan shows his resolve by using the full complement of his arsenal. First he uses some fork tactics, then he activates his limited army, then he uses some stalemate trickery. The job is still not done, as he then has to employ some theoretical defensive knowledge of rook versus rook and knight. It's a lot for a half-point, but it got him going and he ended with a good tournament result. | Watch video

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) - Kansas State and Arizona are among the eight teams that will compete in the Maui Invitational in 2014.
Pittsburgh will be making its first appearance in the early-season tournament in Hawaii. Arizona and Missouri have won the event previously.
The tournament began in 1984, two years after Chaminade's historic upset of then No. 1 Virginia in Honolulu.

ABS isn't interested in if you first start to brake and then turn or first start to turn and then brake. It just releases the brakes if the wheel locks.

If the side slip results from braking and the side grip is enough to hold you upright without you braking, it - in some way - WILL:
However, when the wheel is already sliding, the grip is a bit lower than while turning, what means if you are using very much side grip and have very little grip left to brake, that small difference could be enough to let you slip further.

Peeling Tomatoes
Some recipes call for peeled tomatoes. You'll be at it all day if you just start picking with a paring knife. The skins will slip right off if you follow this method.
Here's one way you can peel a tomato. While a pan of water is being brought to a simmer, remove the core from a tomato using a small knife. Set the tomato into the simmering water for about 30 seconds. Remove it with a slotted spoon or strainer and place in a bowl of ice water. You could also run it under cold tap water to cool it down. After the tomato has cooled slightly, use a paring knife to peel off skin from core to end. If not easy to peel, dip in simmering water a few more moments.

from the Ottawa Citizen,
Scenarios change so quickly, the starting job sometimes falls from the sky.
"You never know what the situation is," Gerber says. "All I can do is put everything out there, try to work hard and everything else takes care of itself usually. You have to stay healthy. A lot of things play into it."
The 34-year-old from Burgdorf, Switzerland, is more comfortable in his Canadian environment now, and more comfortable in the same old net. Known as a goaltending technician, Gerber has been working on the athletic side of his game - in particular, quickness and mobility.

Sens Looking For Fast Start

from the Ottawa Sun,
Senators coach John Paddock will have captain Daniel Alfredsson back on the right side with centre Jason Spezza and winger Dany Heatley when the Senators open the season tomorrow in Toronto.
With the Senators playing seven games in the first 11 days of the season, Paddock believes it's crucial the team begin the year on the right foot.
"The last two or three days I've looked at the schedule and, obviously, you want to get off to a good start because then the schedule becomes extremely light (for the rest of October)," said Paddock. "We go from one extreme to the other.

Spezza Primed for Scoring Race
by Alanah McGinley on 09/30/07 at 01:45 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Don Brennan at the Ottawa Sun,
Earlier this week, Jason Spezza shook his head in bewilderment as he told teammates of a meeting he had just finished up with an equipment rep.
"He's telling me I'd be 15% better (of a player) with a different mouth guard," the Senators centre said, chuckling.
Now, we're not exactly sure how that works, either, but if that's truly the case, Sidney Crosby should hope Spezza sticks with what he's wearing. Fifteen percent more of him would cost the Pittsburgh star the scoring race.

Dany Heatley and Senators Delay Negotiations

From Darren Dreger at TSN,
Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk along with general manager Bryan Murray spent the better part of five hours on Thursday in discussion with Dany Heatley's representatives, J.P. Barry and Stacey McAlpline in Ottawa.
The two groups decided it would be best to walk away from the negotiating table, challenged with the task of re-establishing their positions.
"We had lengthy and detailed discussions regarding Dany's free agency and we will take some time over the next week to consider each other's position," Barry said.

Downie Suspended
by Paul on 09/26/07 at 08:17 AM ET
Comments (0)
from 640am in Toronto,
The NHL has suspended Flyers rookie Steve Downie following a vicious hit on Senators forward Dean McAmmond last night.
Downie was handed a match penalty for attempt to injure. He is now indefinitely suspended by the NHL, pending a review of the hit by the league. Downie was the victim of a clean hit from Christoph Schubert before he immediately got up and sought revenge on McAmmond in the Flyers zone.
See the hit in this post...
added 6:54am, from the Ottawa Sun,
"There's no place in the game for that stuff," a seething McGrattan said after the game. "That was a dirty hit and he's a dirty player. He's known for that and he'll get what's coming to him next time we play him, for sure.
"You don't want to see stuff like that. We're not out there to kill each other. At this level, he'll get what's coming to him."
Update September 27, 7:40pm ET:
Just a note that Downie contacted McAmmond to offer an apology. From The Star,
A phone call of apology from Steve Downie has earned the Philadelphia Flyers prospect some understanding from Dean McAmmond but not from the rest of the Ottawa Senators.

McAmmond Suffers Concussion

via TSN,
Ottawa Senators forward Dean McAmmond left the pre-season game against the Philadelphia Flyers on a stretcher in the second period after a vicious hit to the head by Flyers forward Steve Downie.
McAmmond had just passed the puck and was skating behind the Flyers net when Downie leveled him with a shoulder to the head. Downie, who was hit into the boards earlier in the shift by Christoph Schubert was given a match penalty - which means he is suspended indefinitely pending a review.
McAmmond has been diagnosed with a concussion, but he is moving his extremities and has been sent to a hospital for further examination.
Update 12:35am ET:
From Allan Maki at the Globe & Mail,
Dirty. Cheap. Needless. Despicable. Those words don't just describe Tuesday night's hit on Ottawa Senators forward Dean McAmmond. They describe the man who delivered it – Steve Downie of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Update 1:08am ET:
Thanks to a reader in the comments of this post, here is the video of the hit on McAmmond:

from Darren Dreger of TSN,
Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk is expected to meet with Dany Heatley's agent, J.P. Barry on Thursday in Ottawa.
And based on preliminary discussions, the Senators are aware of Heatley's expectations.
It's believed that Heatley is seeking an average salary of $8.5 million and a multi-year term similar to what Daniel Briere, Chris Drury and Scott Gomez agreed to this summer.
The question is, will Eugene Melnyk pay it?

Emery Still Needs More Time

Ray Emery doesn't have an answer.
After taking part in his first full practice with the Senators yesterday at Scotiabank Place, Emery told reporters he's not sure when he'll be able to play, but doesn't believe he's ready yet.
"I'm just working hard at getting back right now. I obviously want to get some games in, but I've got to make sure that I'm not going to get hurt when I get in there," said Emery. "I'm close, but I'm not where I want to be as far as playing a game. It's kind of frustrating for me right now, but I'll get in there."

Experience Counts

from the Ottawa Citizen,
Yet whatever Richardson ends up doing on the ice, he figures to serve an important role for the Senators on the bench and in the dressing room.
He'll lend an ear if a younger player asks his advice. He'll remove a struggling player from the dressing room for a pep talk or pat a player on the back for a job well done. He'll take a prospect home to dinner to make him more comfortable in his surroundings. When Richardson was in Columbus, rookie Gilbert Brule lived with the family for a while.
Think of him as the Kevin Costner character in the baseball movie, Bull Durham, providing whatever tips he can, based on his experiences.

Sens Would Like To Sign All Their UFAs

Comments (0)
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
As a matter of fact, Murray said he has already had contract discussions with Redden's agent, Don Meehan.
"I don't know (where the Redden stuff comes from)," said Murray. "(Reporters) ask me about trying to sign Heatley and Spezza and then the conclusion (from reporters) is always nothing about those two at all, it's always about eliminating another player. That's not what we're trying to do here. We're going to try to do as well as we can with the people that we have and, obviously, keep them here.
"But there are a lot of factors involved here: The total dollars, the cap system and can we keep everybody? Will everybody give us an opportunity to sign them or will it be impossible because of the numbers?"

"Film Comment's" Top 75 Picture Editors
Thirty-five years ago, our colleagues at the prestigious film journal Film Comment in New York published special 24-page section celebrating film editors — "Prime Cut" — which appeared in its March-April 1977 issue. To celebrate the Guild's 70th anniversary five years ago, they graciously allowed us to reprint copy from their section.
In their issue, Film Comment's editors selected the top 75 editors from the United States, Great Britain and France, from the perspective of 1977. Given that we are now celebrating the Editors Guild's 75th anniversary, we decided to reprint the list, as a point of reference. Editors are listed alphabetically.

Explaining the players' desire for a higher 2013-14 salary cap
Jan 4, 2013, 4:27 PM EDT
If you've ever wondered why there's such a fight over the 2013-14 salary cap despite the fact league revenues will be split 50-50 whether the cap is $60 million or $123 billion, the Globe and Mail's James Mirtle has a good explanation from the NHLPA's perspective.
The players were aiming for a number close to $67.5-million, but this week have lowered their expectations to $65-million.
Either one of the players' numbers would mean a portion of their salaries would likely be lost to escrow that season; the league's number ($60 million), meanwhile, would mean free agents looking for new homes may not have many options.
Selfishly speaking, players with contracts likely want the cap lower and players without them want it higher, making this another polarizing issue for the NHLPA to deal with.
Given how negotiations have gone, however, players appear to have settled on pushing for a higher cap in order to allow freedom of movement and higher salaries, with free agents better able to sign where (and for a salary) they want.
From the NHL's perspective, a $60 million salary cap for 2013-14 would likely force big-spending teams to shed assets. In addition, it could restrict the ability of prized free agents to sign with big-spending teams.
Given the league's desire for (obsession with?) parity, it's not hard to understand why it would like to see more talent spread around. While teams like St. Louis and Phoenix have been successful with relatively low payrolls, evidence suggests it's far more difficult to win the Stanley Cup on a budget.

- wingsdjy - Jan 4, 2013 at 4:47 PM
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the purpose of putting a portion of the players salaries in escrow? And what determines whether or not they need to use escrow?
- ThatGuy - Jan 4, 2013 at 5:10 PM
Because if the money is in the escrow account, the NHL doesn't have to collect individual checks from the players for a portion of their salary if the NHL overpays the players as a whole. They just take what they are owed from the escrow, and any leftovers gets returned to the players.
- wingsdjy - Jan 4, 2013 at 5:24 PM
Okay, so how exactly to modern contracts work. If a player signs for $1.5M/year, does he get $1.5M plus a portion of HRR? Or does his base salary + HRR add up to something close to $1.5M?
- woodstakes - Jan 4, 2013 at 6:22 PM
wingsdjy.. A player's NEVER EVER EVER get more then whatever the share is agreed at. So if they are guarantee'd 50% then what the league does is pay the player's a large portion of their paycheck every 2 weeks/Month and hold a percentage of every players check in escrow. Then at the end of the year, the league figures out what the total revenue number is from HRR and then decides what percentage of players salary held in escrow do they then give to the players. So if the league holds 10% from every check and at the end of the year giving the players 8% of what they held in escrow equals 50% then all the players get is 8%. If all 10% of what they held in escrow equals 50% then the players get back all 10%. If not giving anything back out of escrow equals the players getting 50% then the players will never see that money. NOW, if the league gave back 10% and that still didn't get the players to 50% then I don't know what happens/where those additional funds would go.

Doh, or what vanchuk said LMAO. Should have scrolled down before my terrible discription!
- vanchuk - Jan 4, 2013 at 5:30 PM
He would get 1.5mil minus a certain percentage that goes into the escrow fund (I think around 8-10%) At the end of the season HRR is totalled up and if the players received more than their allotted percentage, the league distributes the proper amount of escrow to the owners. Whatever is left after the owners are back to their percentage is then returned to the players. So in the previous CBA, if the players received 59% of HRR, 2% of their salaries would be given back to the owners (out of escrow monies) and the remaining 6-8% would be returned to each player.
At least that's my understanding of it. Hope that makes sense

A deal is not going to happen this week that's one thing I know for sure. I also know most of you naysayers will be the first to attend games when they resume next Fall. I'll admit I'm one of them. I'm not going to let these greedy executives ruin my game of hockey. I will support my team, there is no other sport like hockey, especially live. I'll try to watch as much free hockey as possible, but ill be attending live no doubt about it.

Odontomas are one of the most common of mandibular lesions encountered, and the most common odontogenic tumours of the mandible (see WHO classification scheme for odontogenic tumours (1992) ) accounting for up to two thirds of all such tumours (the next most common are ameloblastomas making up the majority of the remaining third) .
Typically diagnosed in the 2nd decade of life.
They can be thought of a 'tooth hamartomas' with the lesion consisting of various tooth components (dentin, enamel).
They are divided histologically into:
- complex odontoma
- compound odontoma: identifiable tooth components
Approximately half will be associated with an unerupted tooth, the rest being diagnosed both prior to or after tooth eruption.
Radiographic features
Initially the tumour is lucent, but with time it develops small calcifications which eventually coalesce to form a radiodense lesion with a lucent rim.
Epithelial components may occasionally give rise to a dentigerous cyst.
Treatment and prognosis
Surgical resection is the treatment of choice and there is no recurrence.

Blow Dryer and Flat Iron Question
I've been frustrated in years past when I've purchased a dual voltage blow dryer, only to have it only run at the low speed setting and heat when I travel to Europe and run it at 240 (or whatever the voltage is). So, this trip I've bought a 2000 watt converter with adaptor plugs that SAYS that it will convert my 2000 watt blow dryer and 50 watt flat iron to the local voltage and autosense the right wattage.
Has anyone really achieved this true speed with a converter? I also have very expensive hair appliances and don't want to ruin them. Normally I wouldn't care a whit about this, but we're going to three very important events--two of which are black tie--and I really want to look my best! The big events are in Monte Carlo, but we're also going to Italy and France.
I know this sounds trivial, but honestly, I've searched everywhere for answers and there's only speculation, not facts and I'm hoping someone on this board has been obsessed by this and has found the solution!
Many thanks,

AZ Senator Points Loaded Gun at Journalist
Monday, July 11, 2011
by Man Eegee
Jared Loughner would be proud:
A state lawmaker known for championing the rights of gun-owners pointed a loaded firearm at the chest of a reporter during a recent interview at the Capitol.
Republican Sen. Lori Klein was showing off her raspberry-pink handgun when she aimed it at a journalist who was interviewing her in the lounge just outside the Senate chambers.
According to the story that was published Sunday in the Arizona Republic, Klein's .380 Ruger was loaded and did not have a safety to keep the gun from going off.
But Klein told the reporter, Richard Ruelas, that he didn't need to worry because, "I just didn't have my hand on the trigger."
Imagine if it was the other way around?

A call to action
UNITE FOR CHILDREN UNITE AGAINST AIDS brings together government leaders, national and international non-government and civil society organizations, community groups, youth organizations and artists around a common goal: to put the care and protection of children and young people at the centre of the HIV/AIDS agenda.
Government institutions should establish national policies and strategies and allocate resources that will help reverse and halt the spread of HIV and AIDS among children.
Young people should participate fully in the development and communication of messages about prevention, stigma, discrimination and living positive.
Civil society partners should expand their support for children affected by HIV/AIDS, including psycho-social interventions and empowerment of families and communities.
The media should document and promote public discussion on HIV/AIDS and the impact and consequences for children.
Bilateral and multi-lateral partners should provide intensified technical support to government and non-governmental institutions working in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Families and communities must protect vulnerable young girls and boys from HIV and make prevention a priority.
Private sector organisations should play a key role in providing opportunities for young people to gain skills, knowledge and education.
Community leaders should advocate for and mobilise support to ensure that all orphaned and vulnerable children have access to basic services such as education, food, shelter and healthcare.

Structural Similarities for the Entities in PDB 4IPN
The following structural similarities have been found using the jFATCAT-rigid algorithm [1,2]. To reduce the number of hits, a 40% sequence identity clustering has been applied and a representative chain taken from each cluster. If the representative chain consists of multiple domains, each domain is included in the search. If available, the SCOP 1.75 domain assignment [3] is used. Otherwise algorithmic domain assignments are computed using the ProteinDomainParser [4].

Dayan Viciedo is looking to his native Cuba to find some help for the Chicago White Sox. The 22-year-old Viciedo said Tuesday he has talked to fellow Cuban outfielders Yoenis Cespedes and Jorge Soler to offer them advice as they try to get major league contracts. ''This is about me reaching out to my fellow Cubans and really wishing the best of them,'' Viciedo said through an interpreter. ''I told them how great the organization is and how much of a great fit it would be if they would come over and join us.'' Cespedes said Friday the White Sox are among six major league teams which have expressed interest in him once he becomes a free agent. The Miami Marlins, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs are the other teams. Viciedo hit .296 with 20 homers and 78 RBI in 119 games at Triple-A Charlotte last season before being called up in August to replace the injured Carlos Quentin. Quentin was traded to the San Diego Padres on Dec. 31, making Vicie...

YIELD: Makes 1 dozen rolls
ACTIVE TIME: 40 min
TOTAL TIME: 4 3/4 hr (includes rising)
Butter muffin cups with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
Stir together yeast, warm milk, and honey in a large bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
Mix flour, salt, pumpkin, 1 whole egg, yolk, orange zest and juice, and remaining 5 tablespoon butter into yeast mixture with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a soft dough forms. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead, dusting surface and your hands with just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, until dough is elastic and smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball.
Put dough in an oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Punch down dough (do not knead), then halve. Roll half of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured hands into a 12-inch-long log (keep remaining half covered with plastic wrap).
Cut log into 6 equal pieces, then cut each piece into thirds. Roll each piece into a 1-inch ball by cupping your hand and pushing dough against work surface as you roll in a circular motion. Put 3 balls side by side in each of 6 muffin cups.
Make more rolls with remaining dough in same manner. Cover rolls with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until dough is about 1 inch above rim of muffin cups, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
Whisk together remaining egg and water and brush on tops of rolls. (You will have leftover egg wash.)
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer rolls to a rack and cool at least 20 minutes.
Cooks' note: Rolls are best the day theyre made but can be frozen (cool completely, then wrap well) 1 month. Thaw, then reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.
