News in Brief: British Sea Power, Kid Cudi, Midnight Masses, Melvins, Lauren Dukoff
By Tom Breihan on February 17, 2009 at 6:15 p.m. EST
-- Pitchfork will probably not give the next British Sea Power album our coveted U.2 rating, if only because U2 has never, as far as we know, composed a score for the 1934 film Man of Aran. On May 5, Rough Trade will release the band's Man of Aran soundtrack as a double-disc package. One disc will feature the re-scored movie on DVD, and the other will include the soundtrack on CD, just in case you want your BSP fix without getting it all tangled up with images of hardscrabble Depression-era Irish life. On April 23, the band will perform the score live to accompany the movie at the British Film Institute in London. They will do the same on April 18 at the Duke of Yorks Cinema in Brighton, England as well.
-- The Kanye-approved Cleveland synth-rapper Kid Cudi will probaby not perform at any Reebok-sponsored events anytime soon. According to various reports, a sneaker-based dispute may have led to event security tasering Cudi at a Reebok party during NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix this past weekend. It was rumored that Cudi, who had been booked to perform at the event, wanted to wear Nikes onstage, and things got physical. Cudi himself disputes the cause of the fight in a blog post on his currently overloaded website, via HipHopDx: "It wasn't over me wearing Jordans. I arrived at the event in the most 'fugliest' Reeboks ever." Sponsors love talk like this!
-- Midnight Masses is a new side project from ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead multi-instrumentalist Jason Reece and Dragons of Zynth bassist Autry Fulbright. They'll open for Trail of Dead on tour this spring, and T.O.D.'s Conrad Keely will produce their debut album alongside TV on the Radio bassist Gerard Smith. Pretty soon, every single cool-band sideman in Brooklyn will have something to do with this thing.
-- Because nothing goes together like sludge-metal and comic books (and bong-rips, sold separately), the comic artist Brian Walsby has once again teamed up with Washington grunge titans the Melvins to release Manchild 4. The comic, Walby's fourth, is an illustrated diary that Walsby wrote when he was touring with the Melvins. Bifocal Media will release the book on April 7, and it'll come with a CD of live Melvins recordings. Half of the songs on the CD were recorded in Boston last year, but half of them were recorded at Berkeley's 's 924 Gilman Street Project in 1989, with Shirley Temple's daughter Lori Black on bass. Bifocal will only sell 3000 of these, so act fast.
-- "Family", an exhibition of Devendra Banhart BFF Lauren Dukoff's photos will open at San Francisco's Eleanor Harwood Gallery on Friday, February 20, as part of the Noise Pop Festival. The show consists of Dukoff's pics of Banhart, as well as those of other freak-folk scene staples like Joanna Newsom, Bat for Lashes, Vetiver, Little Joy and Entrance. Banhart also contributed artwork to the exhibition. In July, Chronicle Books will release Family, a collection of Dukoff's photography.

Strategy Execution Champions: The Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame Report 2014
Edited by Randall H. Russell, Director, Hall of Fame
In this tenth annual Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame Report, we pay tribute to the 15 organizations that were inducted into the Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy® in 2013. All are exemplars of strategy management discipline, achieved through their application of the Kaplan-Norton approach to strategy execution as embodied in the Palladium Execution Premium Process (XPP). The remarkable execution premiums these winners have achieved attest to the power of disciplined strategy management when it is successfully linked to operations.
Why HR is Critical to Strategy Execution Success
By Jade Evans, Manager
The single most important role a leader plays in an organization is to lead the execution of the strategy. Traditional leadership approaches fail to adequately prepare leaders to execute strategy, and HR can make a major contribution to address this issue. Our research confirms that effective leadership is one of the top two ingredients to successful strategy execution.
2014 Global State of Strategy and Leadership Survey Report
By James Creelman, Manager, Knowledge and Research Center; Jade Evans, Manager; Caroline Lamaison, Intern; and Matt Tice, Senior Managing Director, APAC
The Palladium Group 2014 Global State of Strategy and Leadership Survey, the latest in our bi-annual series, found that executives are acutely aware of impending challenges. The primary takeaway from this survey is that while organizations know how to adjust to disruptive change, very few are actually doing it. The minority of organizations that do adapt to these conditions are amply rewarded by their advantages over competitors.
Business Model Innovation: Innovating Your Business in a Changing World
By Ivan Choi, Principal and Global Innovation Practice Lead, with Matthew Tice, Senior Managing Director, APAC
Many executives find their organizations in a rapidly changing environment threatening the core profit engine. Today, most organizations rely too heavily on new product development and process improvements, both incremental innovation approaches that offer little respite to counter these disruptive forces and therefore lead to diminishing returns over time. This Palladium white paper gives an overview of Business Model Innovation (BMI), a new innovation discipline designed to help organizations change the way they create, capture, and deliver value.
Executing Strategy: The Critical Role of Culture
Part One: Creating a Strategy-Aligned Culture
James Creelman, Manager, Knowledge and Research Center and Sebastian Rubens y Rojo, Partner
Of all the challenges faced in a strategy management program, none provide greater obstacles than dealing with the cultural issues that arise in execution. When creating a strategy-aligned culture organizations should pay close attention to defining the desired cultural state and assessing the current state. Closing the cultural gap then requires defining the values that will support corporate strategy and a comprehensive program to bring those values to life. Leadership and culture being indivisible, top management has primary responsibility for driving the culture change by "casting the right shadow" in both their personal behavior and how they reward new behaviors in employees. The Balanced Scorecard and Palladium's strategy execution methodology form a powerful framework for implementing a strategy-aligned culture and for driving an impactful cultural transformation program.
Strengthen Your Strategy through Business War Games
By John McClellan, CEO and David McMillan, Engagement Manager, CEO Services
War gaming helps forward-thinking organizations practice and stress-test their strategies. Interactive, experiential techniques allow leaders to model and anticipate the future, to understand potential stakeholder and competitive responses to strategic actions, and to determine how best to manage strategic risks.
Leadership for the Execution of Strategy: Global Research Report: Preparing your Leaders to Excel at Strategy Execution
Strategy execution is the most important job that any leader has in an organization and yet, too often we are not equipping our leaders to effectively execute strategy. Traditional approaches to leadership development are leaving leaders exposed and organizations failing to achieve breakthrough results. After 3 years of global research, with our partners Monash University, the University of Queensland and the Australian Research Council, Palladium has developed a highly integrated and practical model that will help equip leaders for their most important job. We researched over 1,000 organizations from across the world and spoke to C-Suite executives to identify the key factors that separate the winners and losers in organizational and market performance. In this white paper we explore what leading strategy execution means and how leaders can leverage our research and model to excel.
Creating Value through Dynamic Strategy Execution in Large Pharmaceutical Companies
In the '80s and '90s, large pharmaceutical companies were tremendously successful, with blockbuster drugs raking in billions of dollars annually and companies realizing double-digit revenue growth. Today, these companies are faced with challenges of a magnitude the industry has never experienced: blockbuster drugs are coming to a close, patents are expiring, competition from generic drugs is increasing, and the federal government's influence as the single largest payer and provider of healthcare is expanding, a position which will be solidified by the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act. Additionally, despite investing hundreds of billions of dollars in R&D over the past decade, the industry has a significant innovation gap as a result of the changing value equation customers require of new product introductions. Blockbuster and me-too drugs, the traditional output of pharma's innovation programs, are rapidly being replaced by more specialized, niche products that target a subset of patients in a disease state and offer reduced revenue potential.
Today's Retail Banking Business Model: Challenges, Threats, Opportunities
Organizations Will Never Reach a New Destination Looking for the Same Guideposts
A storm of powerful forces is buffeting the retail banking industry. The Internet, non-traditional competitors, and regulators are redefining the nature of competition, as well as the fundamental principles of customer service. These challenges are exacerbated by the continuing anemic performance of the U.S. economy, brought on by the collapse of the mortgage and derivative markets five years ago. Palladium recently interviewed a broad range of senior retail banking executives to capture their views of industry challenges and of how the prevailing business model must change in the next three to five years to tackle pressing challenges, threats, and opportunities. While we captured many perspectives, we were struck by the familiarity of the challenges and of the potential solutions. In many ways, the industry is fighting battles from five, ten, and even twenty years ago with similar tactics and armaments. If the challenges themselves are not new, nor the potential solutions, why has the industry not made greater progress?
Delivering Tangible Value from Your Strategic Initiatives
Too many organizations see their strategic initiative fall short of their goals and not deliver the transformational improvements management - and shareholders - expect. Why? One root cause we see time and time again is an installation mindset. Most organizations define initiative success criteria in terms of budget and schedule. With a laser focus on budget and schedule, initiative teams march towards the completion date, reach the finish line of project completion, and declare victory, unfortunately prematurely. Six months later, the bottom line is unchanged. What is missing is focus on the real finish line: harvesting the economic value of the initiative. This requires a realization mindset.
Managing Alliance Strategy & Risks (Enhancing and Protecting Deal Value)
Alliance managers are charged with helping their respective organizations create value through collaboration, and companies that excel at value creation achieve a sustainable source of competitive advantage. Alliance partners often bring very different perspectives, cultures, and business models to the alliance, and much of the art of alliance management focuses on bridging those gaps and creating a shared, often new, way of doing business to create significant value for both partners. And yet, in spite of highly developed alliance management practices, many alliances fail to achieve their goals.
War Game
Since 2008, economic instability, uncertainty and risk management have been regular topics of discussion around the world's boardrooms and executive suites. Much has been written about the need for organizations to place greater emphasis on uncertainty and risk in the planning process, yet in our experience most organizations are ill equipped to manage these challenges, much less predict them.
Strategy Execution: A Competency that Creates Competitive Advantage
The execution of strategy is how an organization creates value for its shareholders. Nothing is more important, and 85-90% of organizations fail to execute their strategies. This white paper by Dr. David P. Norton describes six management best practices that make a difference.
Leveraging Planning Processes to Bridge Strategy and Execution
The planning process defines how an organization translates its strategy into action, and aligns resources to their strategic priorities. This white paper defines a holistic approach to successfully leverage planning processes to enable sustainable and successful execution of strategy.
Link Strategy and Operations to Achieve Strategy Execution Excellence
Only when strategy is linked to operations can we say an organization is executing its strategy. In recognition of this challenge, IBM sponsored a study to examine the dynamics of linking strategy and operations. This white paper reports on the results of the study, with special focus on the role of technology.
Linking Information Architecture to Enterprise Strategy
The pressure on CIOs today has never been stronger, and many organizations struggle to take an enterprise view of their information assets. Research indicates that many organizations suffer from four key barriers that hinder their ability to leverage their data assets.
Mitigating Risk in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations that are able to link a clearly-defined strategy with day-to-day operations through the use of measurement and related processes are able to both reduce risk and achieve an execution premium. This white paper outlines processes to help articulate strategy, establish the right measures and targets, develop key performance indicators, and invest in the portfolio of strategic initiatives.
Operational Excellence: The New Lever for Profitability and Competitive Advantage
Managers must link strategy to operations; that is, they must identify the specific work processes and actions needed to reach the strategic objectives the company has defined. The paper introduces an important study on linking operational excellence to strategy execution and demonstrates how operational excellence is a critical and necessary component for successful strategy implementation.
Red Lights and Green Monsters: Designing Next-Generation Dashboards
Tools to track the progress of baseball games have evolved from manual scoreboards displaying runs, hits, and errors to elaborate, web-based applications presenting graphical displays of dozens of key statistics. Similarly, advances in technology have enabled dashboards to evolve from simple online reports with basic variance traffic-lighting to sophisticated operational and analytical tools. This white paper highlights four key components of next-generation dashboard design.

I absolutely love Photography and I take photos with it, whenever I can.
Originally my first hobby is Ornithology. I find birds absolutely fascinating and so I also often take photos of them.
Also I work voluntary in a small compound with two Otters (Anton and Lili). So I can get very near to them and take lots of Photos...
Sometimes I just find a thing and have kind of an idea, so i try to make a picture out of it. This always makes a lot of fun
I´m always in a learning process, so I would be gratefull for leaving favs if you like my pictures and also constructive criticism, how to improve my work!
I started with a Nikon D3000 January 1st 2010, which is a great camera and served me well for several years and upgraded to a D7100 in 2014.

Our May 09 is our only child. The past month or so she keeps saying she doesn't want to play alone, at bed time she says she doesn't want to sleep alone. Pretty much every task or activity she says she doesn't want to do it alone. I feel bad because we don't have family close by and there is only 1 cousin in our family anyway. We have a few close friends but none of them have kids. It's really just the 3 of us. I would love to give her a sibling but my husband is dead set against having another child and quite frankly we can not afford another baby. It breaks my heart, I don't want her growing up feeling lonely. Especially when she really doesn't have anybody else.
DD keeps saying she doesn't want to be alone

It sounds to me like a stall tactic, especially at bedtime. Don't mistake her desire to be social as a request for a sibling. ODD has a sibling and I still hear similar requests. She wants to play with us, wants to play with the neighbor kid, wants to play with sister, still wants to sleep with us even though she shares a room with YDD. It is much more the age than it is an actual desire IMO. You most certainly could get her involved in a sport or play group of some sort but you will likely still hear about her about her lonliness. It isn't so much the lack of a sibling or activity so much as it is the age and the desire to be in constant motion and generally entertained at all times. Totally normal.
z Big Sister -- May 2009 z
z Little Sister -- August 2012 z
She does go to school Sep-June 5 days a week. She is out of school for the summer right now. It may be a stall tatic for bed but she always slept alone, she never not even once slept in my bed. During the day, she always wants me to play with her all the time. She will never play alone.

It might just be a phase. My daughter has been very clingy lately and she has a 2 year old brother that will follow all of her orders and play with her all day. She still wants me to play with her all the time. She still asks me to snuggle her for a while a bedtime. Still shows up in my bedroom some nights.
Maybe get her a "friend" - a new doll or animal to keep her company?

It's kind of nice to hear that it's a phase - although I'm sorry you're going through it. DS is doing this too. He's an only child for 9 more weeks. He's been wanting me and DH to play with him all the time even after he has been socializing at daycare with kids his age all day. He also wants me to lay down with him.
I don't know if it's spoiling him, and I guess I don't truly care if it is. But most nights I try to take the time to lay or sit by him and rub his head or back either until he has calmed down or falls asleep. I just keep thinking about how fast they grow up and how pretty soon he won't want me to cuddle with him. Also hearing horrible news stories about parents who kill their children or babys that die or just children that die from diseases/health issues I just want to make sure that I'm giving him time. And a few minutes as he is drifting off to sleep is not going to kill me.
As long as he is in bed and working on going to sleep I don't mind staying with him for a little bit while he unwinds.
As for the playing - I try to encourage him to play alone and just don't respond after I say no. But will try to make sure I'm getting down and playing with him at least for a little bit so I'm showing interest in things he's interested in. He's also at this stage where he will beg after I say no - which really annoys me. So I'm trying to say my answer and leave it at that. Does she get like this when she's in school?
My daughter says the same thing. She doesn't like to sleep in her own room and if I'm in another room she is always yelling asking where I am. She doesn't have any cousins or friends to play with here and althoug she will be getting a brother/sister a long time from now (8 months) she doesn't like to do things alone. I try my best to make sure she is involved in crafts or a few learning games.

Digital Imaging Basics
Computing Resources >> Tutorials >> Graphics & Multimedia >> Digital Imaging Basics
As mentioned in the definition of terms earlier in this tutorial, resolution refers to the sharpness and clarity of your image. Of course, the sharpness and clarity vary depending on the context of the image. Are you scanning or viewing your image? Are you viewing it on a computer monitor, or are you looking at a printed page?
Scanning: When scanning your images, you are usually prompted to choose what resolution you would like your images scanned at. The intended use or display of your images will help you make this choice.
Printing: Images intended for high-quality printing should be scanned in at no less than 150dpi, preferably 300dpi. Remember, dpi is "dots per inch", and the more dots per inch, the sharper and crisper your images will look on the printed page. Many publishers have minimum resolution requirements for digital image submissions - make sure you know what's required before you start digitizing.
Computer display: Images intended primarily for display on a computer monitor (such as email attachments or images on a Web page) really only need a 72ppi to 96ppi resolution, as that is what computer monitors are capable of displaying. A higher resolution will not make your image appear any better on the screen. In fact, if you don't expect folks to print out your images, these images should be "optimized", which means making them as small and compressed a file as possible (while still retaining the appropriate visual clarity), so that they load quickly, and do not take up too much space on the hard drive.
TIP - Optimizing images for computer/Web display involves compression, which throws out some pixel data. You cannot then enlarge the optimized images without encountering pixelation (see second example below).
TIP - if you need to make high resolution, large files available via the Web or computer, create "thumbnail" versions of your images that then link to the larger images. This prevents your viewer from enduring slow loading times for images they are not interested in seeing.

2006 CFN Ohio State Preview
After the brutally awful 59 minutes of football that followed Ted
Ginn's kickoff return for a score in the BCS Championship Game, Ohio
State has to quickly pick up the pieces of its shattered reputation
and get right back in the national title race. Despite massive
personnel losses on offense, this team can do that.
2007 Schedule
2007 predicted wins
Sept. 1
Youngstown State
Sept. 8
Sept. 15
at Washington
Sept. 22
Sept. 29
at Minnesota
Kent State
Michigan State
Penn State
Prediction: 10-2
2005 Record: 12-1
2006 predicted wins
Don't believe the myth that the Buckeyes aren't fast, just because
Florida played faster. Don't believe the myth that Jim Tressel and his
staff now can't coach in the big game compared to the new breed of stars
like Urban Meyer. Don't believe the myth that OSU can't play with SEC
teams (although the record against the league would suggest otherwise).
And don't believe the myth that OSU is a dead-team-walking after losing
Ginn, Antonio Pittman, Anthony Gonzalez, Heisman winner Troy Smith, and
six starters on the defense.
This is Ohio State. Like last year on defense, superstars will take over
for superstars.
The Buckeyes should be able to show up and start 8-0 without breaking
much of a sweat, so barring a disaster, they'll be able to fill in all
the gaps and tweak all the problems for two months before the real
season starts. But even if they rock and blow everyone out, will America
forgive and forget how it felt so hoodwinked last year? How much time
will it take before Tressel's boys get the blind faith and goodwill it
built up when everyone picked them to walk over the Gators? Maybe the
loss to Florida was a major embarrassment that could turn out to be a
positive going into this year.
Motivation won't be an issue. The tired "nobody believes in us" cliché
will be fired out more than once when everyone picks Michigan and
Wisconsin to be the main conference favorites. Yes, the Ohio
State University could actually be the sleeper in the Big Ten
What to watch for on offense: Welcome
back to Tressel-ball. Without Smith and his weapons, the offense's prime
initiative will be to not screw up, and to let the defense and special
teams take care of business. The offensive line should be good enough to
pound out an effective running game, so expect RB Chris Wells to quickly
become a household name and a favorite for the 2008 Heisman.
What to watch for on defense: James Laurinaitis making tackle
after tackle. Vernon Gholston is the only returning starter on the line,
so it might take a little while before the front four is up to
championship snuff. Laurinaitis and Marcus Freeman will be a lights-out
1-2 linebacking combination against the run in an aggressive, fast
defense that should produce plenty of turnovers.
The team will be far better if … it remembers that it really is a
national title-caliber program, and that the Florida loss might simply
have been an aberration. The team was fat, lazy and unprepared for the
jacked-up Gators. Make no mistake about it, Florida earned that win, but
the Buckeyes didn't seem focused. Using that game for motivation is a
The Schedule:
It should be
just about perfect, giving all the young offensive talent time to figure
out what to do. Warm-ups against Youngstown State and Akron will set the
tone for a road trip to Washington. The next five games are nice and
easy for a team like OSU, playing Northwestern, at Minnesota, at Purdue,
Kent and Michigan State before the nasty finishing kick: playing at Penn
State, home against Wisconsin and Illinois, and finishing at Michigan.
Best Offensive Player: Sophomore RB Chris Wells. Get ready for information
overload regarding Wells, who's set to become the next great Buckeye
back and the focal point of the offense, now that Troy Smith and his
star-studded support cast are in the NFL. In the Adrian Peterson mold,
he's the prototype at the position with great size, ample speed and a
solid true freshman season to build upon.
Best Defensive Player: Junior LB James Laurinaitis. What does
Laurinaitis possibly do for an encore after leading the Buckeyes in
tackles and interceptions a year ago, en route to becoming the first
true sophomore to win the Nagurski Award? A physical beast in run
defense, he's also stellar in underneath pass coverage, making him a
natural at creating takeaways.
Key player to a
successful season:
Junior QB Todd Boeckman.
Assuming he actually wins the job by opening day, don't be shocked if
he's better than many expect, considering he has to replace a legend.
While he's not the passer Troy Smith was, he has the arm, size and
talent to make defenses worry about the passing game. Sophomore Rob
Schoenhoft and speedy redshirt freshman Antonio Henton should see a
little bit of time to get their feet wet.
The season will be a
success if
... the Buckeyes are playing Michigan with a shot at the Rose Bowl. Even
with all the issues on offense, this is still The Ohio State
University; it'll come up with a few guys who can play. The defense
alone will be enough to win seven games without much of a concern. Even
if there's a toe-stubbing against someone like Purdue or Penn State, OSU
should be able to get to Michigan with a shot at the Rose Bowl.
Key game:
Oct. 6 at Purdue. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, there's no bigger game than the one against that team in
Maize and Blue up the road about 200 miles, and battles against Penn
State and Wisconsin are vital, but the road trip to Purdue will show
what kind of team this is. The Boilermaker attack likely will finish the
season first in the Big Ten in total offense, and will give the Buckeye
defense a test. The OSU offense has to show it can keep up the pace. A
win would likely mean an 8-0 start before the trip to Happy Valley.

Conference Paper: Transferred overvoltages by windfarm grounding systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The grounding system plays an important role in the quality of power produced by windfarms, since overvoltages caused by a fault situation, have to be successfully dispersed into the ground. In this paper the effect of grounding system design in transient overvoltages appearing in windfarm electrical installations is studied. In particular, the effect of interconnecting individual wind turbine grounding systems via horizontal strips on transferred overvoltages is examinedHarmonics and Quality of Power Proceedings, 1998. Proceedings. 8th International Conference On; 11/1998

ABSTRACT: The high levels of energy, current, charge and rate of current rise associated with a lightning strike can result in a structure being severely damaged if struck. A key stage in determining the type of lightning protection system (LPS) required by a structure is the estimation of the lightning strike frequency. For each strike, the probability of the energy/current/charge/rate of current rise exceeding a specific value can also be found mathematically. The IEC standard detailing lightning protection of structures, IEC 1024-1: 1990, provides a method of calculating the lightning strike frequency to an object of no more than 60 m height. Considering modern wind turbines may have a hub height greater than 60 m, this standard is inapplicable to such machines. Of particular importance in tall structures is the possibility of upward propagating lightning strikes. The assessment of the total lightning strike frequency, both upward and downward propagating, can be assessed using two independent modelsLightning Protection of Wind Turbines (Digest No: 1997/303), IEE Half-Day Colloquium on; 12/1997
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Lightning damage to wind turbines has been one of the main causes of wind power outages. Wind turbines are steadily growing in both height and numbers explaining why an increased frequency of lightning damage is observed. This coupled with the costs of repairing such large wind turbines increased the need for a form of lightning protection system standardisation within the wind power industry. This paper presents an overview of selected parts of the latest IEC 61400 standard dealing with lightning protection of wind turbines. Particular emphasis is given to wind farm grounding systems.

Minnesota acquired pitcher Vance Worley and minor-league pitching prospect Trevor May from the Philadelphia Phillies for outfielder Ben Revere, the Twins announced. Worley, 25, posted a 4.20 ERA in 133 innings for the Phillies in 2012, while suffering from a bone chip in his elbow for much of the season. He had surgery in September. Revere, 24, batted .294 with a .333 on-base percentage in 553 plate appearances in 2012, and stole 40 bases in 49 attempts. He was drafted by the Twins in the first round of 2007. The Twins have now dealt both of their center fielders in less than a week. Denard Span was sent to the Washington Nationals on Nov. 29. May, 23, ranked as the Phillies' second-best prospect by MLB.com, had a 4.87 ERA in 149 2/3 innings with Double-A Reading.

Serendipity is part of creativity and you will be making serendipity paper to make this fun colorful card by Maria Nerius. Never throw out those paper scraps!
- Card blank 5" x 6 1/2"
- Scraps of handmade, decorative, and color papers
- Sheet of cardstock
- Black cardstock
- Spray adhesive or paper glue
- Blue mulberry paper
- Permanent black marker fine tip
- Fiskars paper trimmer
- Optional: scraps of thin ribbons or threads, glitter, pigment inks
- Make your serendipity paper. Rip and tear scrap pieces of paper into tiny pieces. Vary the tiny pieces from 1/8" to 1/4" for best finished results. Spray or apply a thin layer of glue to a full size piece of cardstock. Start adding the tiny pieces of paper to the sheet of cardstock. Just randomly place torn paper here and there until entire sheet of paper is covered. You've created a sheet of serendipity paper! Allow to dry.
- Optional. As you are making your serendipity paper, you can also add bits of scrap ribbon or threads. I love adding bits of metallic threads to my serendipity paper. You can also sprinkle a little glitter as you are working so all adhesive is covered. Use your imagination!
- Trim a piece of the serendipity paper to 4 1/4" x 3 3/4" and mat onto black cardstock trimming to a 1/8" border. Mount onto card blank centered to the top.
- Rip a heart shape from the blue mulberry paper. Mount to center of the matted serendipity paper with a very light line of adhesive. Allow to dry. Outline the edge of this ripped heart with a black fine tipped permanent marker to let the heart pop with the black mat.

text: Business PayPal parts ways with exec Rakesh 'Rocky' Agrawal after Twitter tirade Above: Rocky Agrawal, PayPal employee.Image Credit: Rocky Agrawal May 4, 2014 1:27 PM Tom Cheredar 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Breakups are always hard, and sometimes kind of messy. Such is the case between PayPal and its (now former) director of strategy Rakesh "Rocky" Agrawal, who parted ways as of this weekend. Agrawal, a former VentureBeat columnist, told VentureBeat that he decided to leave the company prior to taking a vacation to New Orleans for Jazz Fest on Friday. But late Friday night and early Saturday morning he took to Twitter to voice some of his frustrations, in the process insulting some of his coworkers. The tweets have since been deleted, but not before Business Insider and Valleywag publicized the outburst. Agrawal said he never intended for the messages to be made public. (He indicated that he was using a new Android phone that he wasn't familiar with.) Among the targets of Agrawal's Twitter outburts: PayPal head of communications Christina Smedley and PayPal retail chief Don Kingsborough. Although Agrawal had given notice, PayPal stated yesterday that the insults were grounds for Agrawal's immediate termination. Rakesh Agrawal is no longer with the company. Treat everyone with respect. No excuses. PayPal has zero tolerance. — PayPal (@PayPal) May 3, 2014 "I had submitted my resignation with two weeks notice. Clearly they chose not to use that. No one from PayPal contacted me before the tweet," Agrawal said in an email to VentureBeat. "The last communication I had was that Stan [Chudnovsky, PayPal's VP of growth, strategy, and special ops] was trying to set up a meeting for Monday night to discuss. Clearly someone had other ideas." While Agrawal declined to apologize for his earlier comments, he did say he was looking forward to his next business venture, a startup called reDesign Mobile. "Paypal was not a fit for what I want to do," Agrawal told us. "By starting reDesign mobile I can build exactly the company I want at the pace I want." VentureBeat has reached out to PayPal for further comment about its relationship with Agrawal. We'll update this post with any new information. More information: Paypal PayPal is the faster, safer way to pay and get paid online. The service allows members to send money without sharing financial information, with the flexibility to pay using their account balances, bank accounts, credit cards or promot... read more » Powered by VBProfiles

Matta = Really good
Imagine this line if he kept this up over 600 ABsOriginally Posted by OnBaseMachine
120 RBIs
At the age of 19.
Matta = Really good
Cueto has pitched 2 really good games in a row.
7 Innings, 1 Hit, 0 Runs, 0 BB, 7 K
Its a complete game since they are playing a double header today.
Cueto: 7 innings, 1 hit, 0 runs, 0 walks, 7 strikeouts
Johnny Cueto gets credited with the complete game shutout since they only play seven innings in minor league doubleheaders.
Check out Cueto's updated 2006 stats:
Pelland is another guy that needs to move to the pen. The Reds have a whole flock of them: Fisher,Avery,Chick,Pelland and Ward. All of them are fastball guys with no real secondary pitch, or at least one that is effective.
Matter of fact, the only pitchers in the Reds entire system who have the makeup to be starters are Bailey,Wood,Cueto,Lecure and Stevens(well, Gonzo to if he ever decided to show back up lol)
That they say friends, is a thin crop of possible future starters. Might as well build up the pen.
Zach Ward is pitching in game #2 for the Dragons.
Jay Bruce is now slugging .604 on the season. Wow.
Cueto may be the #1 pitching prospect very soon.
Problem is the roster shows him being slightly built. Not sure off the top of my head, but I think under 6 ' and 170-ish.
I guess Pedro fit that description and at his age (20), Cueto still may be growing, so who knows.
It depends on stuff and delivery. If he throws like Oswalt, we don't have a problem and if he has 3 good pitches, that further enhances his future. No doubt Cueto along with Bailey and Wood are the Reds most electric pitchers, it falls off greatly after them.Originally Posted by BuckeyeRedleg
Medlock got reduced to a reliever because he doesn't have a great arm and is a 2 pitch pitcher.
Gardners final line: 3 Innings, 1 Hit, 1 Run, 4 BB, 3 K
Ward is pitching well so far tonight: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
He's also only OBPing in the .350 range -- the majority of which is hit-driven. Ideally, I'd like to see him increase his selectivity and up his walk rate (above the current 1 BB / 11.4 PA -- by comparison, Adam Dunn's first year at low-A had him at 1 BB / 7.8). However, I think as he starts developing a reputation as a hitter that doesn't miss mistake pitches, he'll start to see fewer pitchers challanging him. Once that happens, it'll be interesting to see whether his K rate increases (indicating he's pressing at the plate) or his BB rate increases.Originally Posted by Buckeye33
That'll be the true measure of where Jay Bruce is as a hitter.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
b.j. szymanski was not in the lineup in either of the 2 games today, so maybe he got promoted. does anyone know?
Votto is 1-for-3 with his 6th HR of the year tonight.
OBM you just beat me to it....
Chris Denorfia is 1-2 with a walk and an RBI for Louisville tonight, who is winning 4-2 in the 7th.
Chattanooga is losing 4-3 in the 7th.

Prior to heading west and knowing advtenn was going to branch off and need some alone time with advtenn wife, I put out a post or two looking for someone riding to RMAR from WestFest. I corresponded with Roland and Bumknee (Scott). Ran into them both at WestFest. They, advtenn, and I rode back to Salida together for lunch and to the cowboy fortress and back to WestFest. Riding styles were a match.
Sunday morning when everyone was packed we packed our gear and discussed where we would go to that day. Rolland had a plan and some track loaded into his GPS that were suppose to be fantastic. Only problem was he wanted to camp about 5 miles away from where we were. Scott, who had paid for his cabin another night stated, he would just come back to the ranch and stay there. Not wanting to set my tent up 5 miles from where I just had it set up, asked if there was more then one bed in his room. Bottom line, we all came back for one more night after riding some really cool, high bermed atv trails. We did not even make it to the end of the driveway, before we vectored off onto a trail and out into the national forest. Sorry no pictures. The group and I separated in Jefferson, I think. They were headed to Breakenridge and right into a very dark sky and a place I had already been to three times in the last few weeks. I headed south to Buena Vista or Salida to see if I could source a lock core to repair my luggage. We would meet back at the Ranch and site of WestFest.
My view from the front porch where I slept very well in lieu of the snoring room.
Next day we rode over towards Buena Vista riding some of the same trails from the day before. We were trying to connect the other half of the loop we abandoned the day before due to rain. It was excellent riding a little less fun because we were on fully loaded large adventure bikes. I knew of a NFS campground or two up Chalk near Mt. Princeton.
Rolland who had been riding with this as his rear tire, decided it was time to change. I think he got tired of airing it up twice a day.
It helps if you install this before you try to burn out two compressors.
That night we endured the scariest electrical storm I have ever been in. The Camp, NFS Cascade was full so were the lower two camps. We were forced to camp higher up near St Elmo at NFS IronCity. We were greeted by out host and immediately warned about the bear who had been visiting the camp, Great. Roland changed the tire shown in the above pictures and then we all headed down the hill to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs where we had dinner and soaked up the heat of the spring. The women weren't bad either. At least we were clean and well fed. Thought it was very considerate of us to do this so as not to upset the bears delicate stomach. Gathered some fire wood lit a white mans fire, used gas, multiple times, that the Cherokee of NC could have spotted. (for some reason there was not a fire band.) Probably because it rains 3" a night there. at least while we were there. (don't worry no children, animals or pine beetles where harmed in the making of this fire). Then right on cue the rain started. We retreated to Scott's motorcycle condominium. Really. We hung out in what was supposed to be the garage, waited for the rain to stop then returned with the fire persuader and got it going again. Enjoyed the fire for another 15 minutes before the lightning. All off to our tents to lay on our backs and feel the ground shake with every strike. It felt like it was hitting the fire pit it was so close.

Despite an increasingly uncertain economy, home buyers in California kept snatching up foreclosed homes last month, dragging down the median home price by 34% from a year earlier, a real estate tracking firm said Thursday.
The statewide median home price plunged to $278,000 in October, compared with $424,000 in the year-ago period, according to MDA DataQuick in San Diego.
October's median price was down 1.8% from September.
About half the drop in the median price was the result of depreciation, while the other half came from a shift in sales toward distressed homes and the way those homes are financed, DataQuick said.
"What happens next to housing will be determined by the fate of the economy, and especially the job market, as well as the outcome of recently announced efforts to curb foreclosures," said John Walsh, MDA DataQuick's president.

Highly-touted freshman Isaiah Austin came out of his college debut for 19th-ranked Baylor early Friday after he apparently stepped on somebody else's foot following a basket. While sitting on the court after he made a turnaround jumper, the 7-foot-1 center pulled his goggles off his head and pulled his jersey over his face. The crowd got silent as trainers looked at his right leg before he was helped off the floor. He was trying not to put any weight on his foot. A tweet from the Baylor basketball program's official account a few minutes later said Austin was done for the game with an ankle sprain. The full extent of the injury wasn't immediately known, though he was back on the bench before the game ended. He got hurt with about 16 minutes left in the season opener against Lehigh. Austin had 22 points on 10-of-12 shooting, including three dunks and two 3-pointers while playing 17 minutes. Austin returned to the bench with about 6 minutes left. He didn't have any wraps or ice on...

Italy v Wales - RBS Six Nations match preview
Last Updated: 23/02/13 2:29pm
Italy will be without captain and star-man Sergio Parisse for the visit of Wales in Saturday's Six Nations tie at the Stadio Olimpico due to suspension.
Parisse - who was key to the victory over France - was shown a red card for verbal abuse towards a match official during his club Stade Francais' game against Bordeaux, and has subsequently been handed a 40-day ban by the LNR, with 10 days suspended.
In place of Parisse, Italy boss Jacques Brunel has named Ratu Manoe Vosawai at No 8, with Leicester prop Martin Castrogiovanni captaining a side featuring four changes to the one defeated in Scotland.
Brunel names a new half-back combination on the back of a disappointing defeat with Kristopher Burton taking over from Luciano Orquera at fly-half while Edoardo Gori starts ahead of Tobias Botes.
In the second-row, Antonio Pavanello replaces Quintin Geldenhuys - who drops to the bench - in Italy's only other change.
Wales interim head coach Rob Howley has named an unchanged starting XV to face the Italians, keeping faith in the side that despatched of France a fortnight ago.
Ryan Jones captains the Welsh once again after victory in Paris, with regular captain Sam Warbuton returning from injury to take a place on the bench.
Ospreys lock Alun Wyn Jones also wins a spot on the bench, having returned from injury, in the only two changed Howley made to the 22.
Italy: 15 Andrea Masi, 14 Giovambattista Venditti, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Gonzalo Canale, 11 Luke McLean, 10 Kristopher Burton, 9 Edoardo Gori, 8 Ratu Manoa Vosawai, 7 Simone Favaro, 6 Alessandro Zanni, 5 Francesco Minto, 4 Antonio Pavanello, 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini (c) 1 Andrea Lo Cicero.
Replacements: 16 Davide Giazzon, 17 Alberto De Marchi, 18 Lorenzo Cittadini, 19 Quintin Geldenhuys, 20 Paul Derbyshire, 21 Tobias Botes, 22 Luciano Orquera, 23 Gonzalo Garcia.
Wales: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 George North, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Mike Phillips, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones (c), 5 Ian Evans, 4 Andrew Coombs, 3 Adam Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Gethin Jenkins.
Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Paul James, 18 Craig Mitchell, 19 Alun Wyn Jones, 20 Sam Warburton, 21 Lloyd Williams, 22 James Hook, 23 Scott Williams.
