On my last couple of trips I saw very few smiles. I was beginning to think perhaps it was just me, but thankfully Sri Lanka changed all that. What a friendly lot they are. Almost everyone you meet, or even pass on the road, will give you a broad smile. School kids will race up to greet you. There are friendly waves from people passing in cars and tuk-tuks. And there's their dear little wiggle of the head - like one of those dashboard dogs - that I first encountered in India. The national greeting is Ayubowan - "may you live long", with the gesture of palms together, like the Indians' Namaste.

I had a brief squiz at Romania in 2012, at the end of an organised tour through twelve countries. A few nights in Braşov and Bucharest, just enough to whet my appetite. I loved the forests, the castles, the architecture … I wanted to come back for more. But this time on my own with a hire car. So in 2015 I did just that.

If you're hankering to see Buddhist temples and Buddha images, this is the place to go. There are lots, and I mean lots. An abundance of monks too of course, along with longyi-wearing, betel-spitting men and plenty of folk with off-white or yellow thanaka on their faces.

Few places on earth are blessed with the natural beauty or the striking contrasts of Scandinavia. Right up toward the North Pole, many places experience several months of the year in cold, perpetual darkness, with frequent visits from the eerie green aurora borealis, or "northern lights". In summer there's the spectacular beauty of the lush green forests, lakes, mountains, gushing waterfalls and fjords. This book features some of the experiences from my visits in winter 2013 and summer 2014. It will help me to relive memories until my next visit, until which, like Monty Python's infamous dead parrot, I shall be pining for the fjords.

I was rather rapt in Scandinavia when I visited in February 2013, in the depths of winter. This time it was summer, most of the snow was gone, and I was looking forward to seeing many of the bits I hadn't seen last time, including four capital cities, colourful Bergen and the fjords of southwestern Norway. And the far north: about as close as most of us will ever get to the North Pole.

Why do we travel? Is it to escape a mundane, routine, predictable existence? Does our passion for globetrotting stem from a realisation that our time on this planet is short, and a curiosity to explore it? Certainly, we are blessed with a wonderful richness in the diversity of cultures, languages, cuisines, history, architecture, religions, climates and scenery, and there is no better way to experience it than to immerse ourselves. The fourth-century philosopher Saint Augustine likened the world to a book, describing those who don't travel as reading only one page. Time is running out. Television, the internet, modern transport and globalisation mean that the world is becoming ever more homogenised. Many places have already lost their innocence or been spoilt by mass tourism. Others will soon. And the planet's environment is slowly being destroyed by over-population. Places which just a few decades ago had crystal clear air, pristine water and azure skies are now murky and brown. Like many of us, I spent a good deal of my adulthood hostage to a mortgage. In 2004, at age 47, I realised there was more to life, got my first passport and a decent camera, and jumped on a jumbo. It didn't take long for the travel bug to bite. This book is a collection of some of the experiences from the peregrinations I've done since, some independently, with friends or family, others in organised tours covering a full spectrum of styles. Over a thousand stunning colour photographs, including many that have been used by travel companies in their brochures and advertising. Enjoy.

I grew up with the Warner Brothers Speedy Gonzales cartoons, but other than those stereotypes I had little idea what to expect in Mexico. I kind of expected they'd do Mexican food well, such as tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, tamales, burritos, beans, mole, salsa, chicken itza … No, hang on, I'm getting confused. That should be Chichen Itza, something entirely inedible and rather large that we saw later in our trip. It was built by the Maya people, who incidentally had confidently predicted that the world would end soon after we got home (convenient, as I don't think our travel insurance would have covered it!).

You don't have to be particularly interested in history and archaeology to appreciate a trip to Egypt and Jordan, but it helps. You don't just go to these places for the scenery. After a week or two, your head will be bursting with pharaohs, hieroglyphs, obelisks, hypostyles and cartouches. By the end of your tour it's hard not to be in awe of the mighty accomplishments and perseverance of these ancient civilisations. This spectacular photographic journey was taken in January 2009.

There have been many remarkable feats of human endurance over the centuries. The early trade routes between the east and the west would undoubtedly rank among them. The network of routes, which linked the Chinese capital city Chang'an (now Xi'an) with the Roman empire and the great cities of Constantinople and Cairo, was referred to by the nineteenth-century German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen as the "Seidenstraße", or "silk road". And although silk was important, so too was the trade in spices, gemstones, glass, perfumes, incense, gold, ivory, coral, furs, ceramics, and much more. Gunpowder, paper and printing, invented in China, were introduced to the west, and music and religions spread east. The trade routes covered some of the most inhospitable parts of the earth, with searing deserts and blinding sandstorms, to frozen high mountain passes. Camels and horses were suited to different conditions and used over different sections. Settlements along the route often provided caravanserais for shelter, although tents made of felt and wood called yurts would be carried and used where necessary. Often hundreds of men and camels would make up a caravan, the numbers providing some degree of protection from marauders. This lavish coffee table book, full of spectacular photography, is printed on Blurb's best paper.

Tourists step out of air-conditioned buses through turnstiles into theme parks that in some cases are beginning to resemble Disneyland, with everything from concrete camels to coloured lights, and the inevitable souvenir shops.

R60m set aside to repair Joburg roadsComment on this story
Johannesburg - A R60 million fund has been set aside to repair damaged roads after floods in Johannesburg, the city's road agency (JRA) said on Wednesday.
At least R23m of the money would be used to repair potholes and storm water drains, said JRA's managing director Skhumbuzo Macozoma.
The remaining R37m would go to repairing bridges and culverts.
"This is due the higher-than-average rainfall patterns across the city damaging road surfaces, bridges, culverts and gabions," Macozoma said.
"The heavy rains pushed forward the City's agendas. Nine bridges have been prioritised for reconstruction and upgrades to ensure safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians."
He said Soweto, Lenasia, Roodepoort, Midrand and Florida were heavily affected. Bridges, stormwater drains were damaged in those areas.
Besides bridge rehabilitation as a results of rains, the agency's team was working seven days a week repairing potholes, traffic signals and unblocking storm water drains.
Macozoma apologised to the public for any inconvenience caused during construction phases.
"This is however necessary to ensure safe access to workplaces and resident areas."

The bar scene continues to evolve in San Francisco, from cocktails to beer and wine too. Here are some of the newest watering holes worth checking out.
With a name that could create some confusion at a few shady massage parlors nearby, Royal Tug Yacht Club (est. 2069) recently made its debut in the Tendornob. The small space opened about a month ago on the corner at Bush St. at Taylor St.,…
The space housing Bigfoot Lodge, a staple for years on the Polk Street bar strip, is getting a makeover starting next week with a new owner and new name.
A bill proposed by San Francisco state Senator Mark Leno that would have allowed businesses to stay open later and sell alcohol until 4:00am has failed to clear the Senate Governmental Organization Committee.
State Senator Mark Leno has proposed a bill that would allow communities the option of extending beverage service until 4am at restaurants, night clubs and bars, pending a full public approval process—something that could greatly affect San Francisco's nightlife scene.
There are plenty of opportunities this week for food and cocktail lovers to enjoy nights out – and also to contribute to a charitable cause.
Over the last week, an app has been launched in San Francisco that has come under the spotlight of many concerned with privacy issues. But SceneTap founder and CEO Cole Harper is attempting to quell the uproar over the technology.
There's a new bar on the scene, but you won't be able to spot it very easily. There's no sign hanging outside and it's completely underground. But that's all part of the allure of Local Edition.
Lucky Strike opens this week in South Beach and will feature a game room with a trivia area replete with "Jeopardy"-like pedestals. But you don't need to go all the way down to the ballpark to enjoy a great Quiz Night.
San Francisco' nightlife scene generally only makes headlines when something bad happens outside a club or restaurant. But according to a new report by the San Francisco Controller's Office, the industry contributes more than $4 billion to the local economy.
City View at Metreon served as the host Wednesday night for perhaps the best wine event in San Francisco, the 8th Annual Wine & Spirit Top 100 Tasting Event.

5 Year 1UP Anneversary to me!
Well, almost. This coming New Year's, it will be my 5th year on 1UP!!!
*Cheers and screams are heard from the audience below*
Yeah, yeah. Lol, I'm gettin' old! XD! I was twelve when I first joined 1UP, and I have celebrated four birthdays with you wonderful people! Now, seeing as that some of you have done so many good things for me, it's time I return the favor to the rest of you. Going down my friend's list isn't easy, but I'm doing it anyway! (Not that hard. I only have 3 pages. XD!)
Alright, since all of 1UP is familiar with a certain someone, I think I'll start off with him:
Nemesis_Enforcer (Also known, to me, as Nemmy!)- Oh boy. This guy right here has done som great things for me. He's the first person I went to when I had was having problems, and I told him to do the same if he ever ran into some problems he couldn't crack. I remember when I first put up some Gackt music, and he messaged me saying he was a BIG fan of him! Well, that was over a year ago, but I haven't forgotten it.
Nemesis, I hope you're reading this blog, because I have a surprise for you. It's been a long time, and I've been constantly doing it everyday for all this time, and I hope my hard work is going to pay off. Nemesis, I've been trying to contact Gackt, to try to get him to come to the states and have some concerts here. I haven't had much luck, though he did reply back to me on one occassion, stating that he would have to talk to his manager about it, but that he would take it into consideration, giving that he's always wanted to come here and perform. For my sake, and your happiness, I hope he does. ^__^
KrimsonKross -Oh yay! The Fallen Angel of 1UP! No...it was "the OFFICIAL Fallen Angel on 1UP!" Yeah! Lol...Krimson, you've been a great friend over these past years, helping me through tough times, and I suppose I've helped you with a few things with the making of the TNC forum(or so you claim. XD!) But, I still believe that I need to make it up to you, for you have done so much more for me, than I have done for you. No no, don't try to decline my humble request, because I want to do it so.
Krimson, I know how deep your love is for a certain person, who also happens to be on 1UP, and I know how much you both wish to see each other. I'm here to tell you, as you both know, I was in an accident about two years ago, and I am coming into some money. I don't care how much you need, I will try my best, (regardless of my parents) to try and send you enough money, where you can go see your special someone. It's the least I can do. So, do not decline my request, KK.
Stealth_King -Hey! How's it going, my main dude! XD! We've only known each other for a year and a half, but I feel like we're family, just like everyone else in this blog, and the people to come. We've RP'd, sadly, in only two clubs, and one of them is the forum, which, I'm afraid to say, is prabobly going to be deleted soon because no one is posting anymore. You, as well as KK and Nemmy, have helped me through difficult times throughout my life, and I want to repay you for the kindness you have done to me, regardless of what anyone else says.
Stealth, you've told me about your dream. To be a game designer one day, and that some obstacles and problems have come to interfere with that dream. I'm here, to tell you once again, to NEVER let go of your dream, no matter what anyone says or tells you otherwise. You are the master of your own destiny; you own path, and should be able to do what you want, and not what everyone else wants you to do, or wants for you. You may think this is all I'm going to do, is to give you confidence to continue with your dream. Yes, and no. This is not the only thing I intend to do. You, aswell as KK know, I am coming into some money. I will donate, to you, my dear friend, however much I can afford, money to you to help you accomplish your dream job, and go to college. It may not be much, but it's a start. Of course, the if part comes up, but I will try as hard as I can to give you some money to start your dream off to fruitation.
SaixnXaldinluvr -Hey! What's going on, sai! Well, I suppose I know. You're part of the forum, after all, and thus, part of my 1UP family, as Stealth and KK are.
Sai, if you are reading this, you already know what I plan to do for you. So, I suppose I don't need to explain myself twice, correct? I hope you are ok and are having a wonderful time! TTY soon, sai!
FainalFantasy -Hey hey, hey! It's the one and only Green Ranger on 1UP, and the biggest fan of Power Rangers know to the internet and this planet! As some, or rater most of you know, Fainal has recently returned to 1UP, and I hope, never to leave ever again! We missed you, dude! XD! Dood, deud! Doodles and oodles of-O__O'...I'm getting off track again, aren't I? Well, anyways...
Fainal, I wish I could do, or attempt to do something for you, but I have no idea what your deepest desire is, thus I suppose this message for you has reached it's end. You've made me laugh when I was sick, and I still have my Get Well Video you sent me. I watch it all the time, because it reminds me of you, and how silly you can be! XD! I wish you properity for the present, and for what's to come in your life. I suppose, that's all I can do for you...in return for your kindness. Though...it makes me fee bad...
Sirismarche -Oh boy, is this guy a fighter or what! After I heard what had happened to him, I was so shocked, I just couldn't believe what I was reading! We had spoken before his major surgery, and thankfully, it was a success. From the last time we spoke, he said he had regained movement of his legs once again.
Siris, I know I prabobly can't do anything for you, but give you my wishes. I hope you have an easier life from now on. You've been through enough torment and pain to last a lifetime. Because you are somewhat "different" from other people, though you are the same as everyone else in my book, and to alot of others who call you 'friend' on 1UP, I hope that you have good luck for the rest of your life. May nothing bad like that ever befall to you again, and your loved ones. This is all I can offer. It's not much, but I hope you are reading this.
Sora_RoxasXD! -I know I said I hated you, and that I never wanted to speak to you again for what you did. Brian, I am here to say that I am sorry for saying so. You are a very dear friend, and I wouldn't want to have it any other way. Whether you still come here or not, I hope, somehow, you are able to get this message. Not many people know you on 1UP, or what happened, but I want those few people to know that I am sorry.
Sora, or rather, Brian. There, unfourtunately, is nothing I can do for you, but like all the others, wish you happiness in your life. I hope that we will meet each other face-to-face one day, so that, if you couldn't read this message, I can apologize to you in person.
HolyVanguard -I don't know whether, like Brian, if you still visit 1UP once in a while. I haven't been able to get in contact with you by e-mail, or MySpace, for somehow, my account on MS was deleted. But, I would like to say, that I am sorry for what I put you, both, ofus through my first year in High School.
Joseph, please forgive me for what I had done to your heart. I never meant for something like this to happen, nor did I want to go against my parents, so I was forced to let you fade away from my life. I know, somewhere, you are happy with someone else, from the last time we talked. I hate to say it, but I realize that I really didn't feel true love for you, but that was an illusion by my true intensions. I wanted to love you, even if I had to force myself to do so, so I could escape the fact of having to live the rest of my life with some Pakistani man, whom I never would come to love at all. My love for you was only that of friends, nothing more, and nothing less. I apologize so much. I'm afraid no matter how much I do so, that it would never be enough for what I have done to you, to both of us.
And last but not the least...myself.
I, as a member of this nation, and a inhabitant of earth, I will try my hardest, no matter what it is. I promise to have confidence in myself, and to never let go of my dreams, no matter how impossible they seem. I will never forget any of those I have mentioned today, for they have burned a lasting memory in my mind, and have touched my heart everso much. And, if I am ever to leave here, which one day, we all will...you will never be forgotten...
From your friend, and sister;
kairi_namine', K_N, Rikki...Tayyabah Mirza...
May you all be blessed with a happy future...keep in mind that though I wish to to things for you, but I do not promise that I can do so...but I hope I will.
P.S. To those of my friends that were not mentioned here, do not think I have forgotten you:
Darth Syric
You, as everyone else in this blog...you will never...NEVER be forgotten...
You all will have a place in my heart...
~Never let go of your dreams. Let them come to Fruitation and become something that everyone will remember for times to come.~

Mount Alvernia College bans girl for shaving head
- From: The Courier-Mail
- November 10, 2009
- Girl suspended for shaving head
- Was raising money for cancer research
- Her dad is battling cancer
A 15-YEAR-old Brisbane schoolgirl was suspended for shaving her head to raise money for vital cancer research.
A 15-YEAR-old Brisbane schoolgirl was suspended for shaving her head to raise money for vital cancer research, The Courier-Mail reports.
Emily Pridham and her family told Channel Nine News her father is battling leukemia.
He underwent a bone marrow transplant a few weeks ago but has been given only a few months to live.
Ms Pridham decided to shave her head as part of a fundraiser for cancer research.
"Basically my way of coping is to try and help other people going through the same thing," she said.
Ms Pridham said she has been banned from Mount Alvernia College until her hair grows back.
Barbara Pridham said she supports her daughter's fundraising decision.
"I am just appalled that she could be suspended by a Catholic school that promotes joy, respect and community spirit," she said.
Mount Alvernia College released a statement to Channel Nine News that said Ms Pridham had breached the college's uniform guidelines and had been suspended because of "ongoing issues".

I'm absolutely appalled by the school's decision to suspend Emily. In our province high school kids must complete 40 hours of volunteer work as part of their curriculum in order to graduate. Emily has gone above and beyond during probably the most challenging time in her short life. Someone needs to give their head a shake. She needs to know that the world has heard her story. So does the school.
Natasha of Cairns Posted at 8:06 AM November 11, 2009
Whatever she's done previously, an act of kindness and compassion in excruitaiting circumstances breaks the uniform rule and that's what breaks the camel's back? Seriously????? God will be so impressed with the staff at that school.
John Franklin Posted at 7:24 AM November 11, 2009
This school should be permanently shut down and the officials who run it immdeiately ex-communicated. Refardless of this girls past, what poor taste when her father is dying from cancer. I hope they get their butt's sued .
Anonymous Posted at 7:24 AM November 11, 2009
The ongoing issues may have something to do with having an ill father. Here I thought catholics prided themselves with compassion and empathy.

Remember Me
The band has recently been making the rounds to such venues as SOB's and The Orange Peel as well as taking part in such renowned festivals as Merlefest and Bonnaroo. The buzz generated from their new self-titled release has enabled the band to beef up their performance schedule and finds them tearing up and down the East Coast, opening for such groups as Midnite, Brazilian Girls, Rusted Root as well as a two-night stand with Sound Tribe Sector 9 at Higher Ground in October. In between their hectic touring schedule, the band was able to record their debut album with three-time Grammy winning producer and composer Steven Heller. His music and recordings have received numerous national awards, and he has had the opportunity to produce work by David Holt, Doc and Merle Watson, Jerry Douglas, Chet Atkins, and Sam Bush. "Bamana Niya," "Hang Tan," "Rooster," and "Asheville to Abidjan" are all excellent songs off their debut album that display the band's far-reaching knowledge of diverse musical styles. I had the opportunity to talk with the Toubab Krewe in between tours to gain some insight into their immediate future as well as to explore their rich musical background.
CG: Your group's name is quite a unique moniker. Can you explain the origin of Toubab Krewe?
Drew Heller: "Toubab" is a word used in many parts of West Africa where they speak Bambara meaning "foreigner" or "non-African." So in essence, we are the "Foreign Krewe." We embrace the idea of being foreigners who have fallen in love with this music. Having spent considerable time in West Africa studying with some of the area's best musicians and teachers, we are now able to create an original sound within this genre. We took the spelling of "Krewe" as it relates to New Orleans and the history of musical "Krewes" in that region. These are essentially groups of musicians associated with Mardi Gras, but we referenced it to recognize the fertile musical history and background of New Orleans. That city has been a portal for much Afro-centric music through the years where it blended with American music to create jazz, blues, and rock styles. We see ourselves as a part of this ongoing musical and cultural dialogue between West Africa and the United States. Hence "Toubab Krewe."
CG: I see that your band was formed by a melding of two talented existing groups. Are you all from the same area here in Western North Carolina?
CG: Although you are local to the States, the band has quite a diverse musical background. Can you share any interesting anecdotes about your education and apprenticeships from abroad?
Drew Heller: All of our trips abroad have had a serious impact on our musical paths. One time, Justin and I were in Bamako working on a song with our teacher Lamine Soumano. Well, it turned out that he was teaching us this song because he planned for us to appear in the music video for one of the jelimuso (female singers) that he works with, Assetou Konate. Sure enough, we found ourselves in front of the camera the next day.
What was it like taking a step into African pop culture?
Are there any plans to study or perform abroad any time soon?
As soon as we have time.
At the Orange Peel show, I was impressed by the many instruments that your band collectively plays onstage. The complexity of exchanges and patterns between the drummer and percussionists was intriguing. Can you talk a bit about your approach for a live performance?
Justin was continually switching it up and was brilliant with his technique on the traditional instruments such as the kora and kamel ngoni. Can you give us some background on these delicate pieces?
The kora is arguably the most complex chordophone of Africa. It is primarily played by the griots, which are historians, storytellers, and musicians that hold a special place in West African society. It is made from half of a gourd calabash with a hardwood post that runs through it to which the strings are attached. The calabash is covered with a cowhide that is stretched over the open side of the half calabash and then left in the sun to dry tight and hold the hand posts in place. A tall bridge is mounted upright on the skin face of the instrument and separates the strings into two planes. A traditional kora has 21 strings and is played with the thumb and forefingers of both hands.
And the kamel ngoni?
You guys must have had a ball working with these traditional instruments in the studio for your debut album. Were there any highlights of note from those recording sessions?
Our studio experience was incredible. We had been touring all month and entered the studio the moment we got back to Asheville. We recorded with Steven Heller at Upstream Productions for a tremendous week of sessions. Since we had just gotten off tour, we still had that electric feeling inside from being onstage the whole month of March. We had to go back out on tour pretty much right after we finished recording. The postproduction on the album took up the next couple months, leading up to its release at Bonnaroo.
There are several strong cuts on the new studio album; however, "Bamana Niya" and "Asheville to Abidjan" are two tracks that I seem to keep going back to. Can you talk a bit about some of the songs off the new record?
Let's talk about your performance schedule for a moment. You have some great opening slots this month and into the fall season supporting STS9, Rusted Root, and Midnite, among others. What are your expectations for these upcoming co-bills?
It appears you made a nice introductory impression on the audience at Bonnaroo. Being a new band on the circuit, what were your feelings about playing at such an established festival?
It was a great experience and an event we will not soon forget. Before we started our first set, there were only twenty or thirty people at our performance area. However, by the end of the third song, there were literally hundreds of people that were cramming into the tent feverishly dancing. The weekend kind of felt like a dream as I don't think any of us slept more than five hours over the course of the four days we were at the festival.
I see you also performed at the rain-soaked All Good Music Festival in West Virginia. Were there any collaborations of note or did you catch any quality sets of music?
We had a great time jamming backstage with C-Money and Nate from John Brown's Body. It would be great to run into those guys again; they put on a great show.
It looks like you've had quite a busy year touring up North. Have you adopted a favorite venue or city to play?
So what obscurities do you have in your CD player for these long road trips?
Taraf de Haidouks, Oumou Sangare, our field recordings from Africa, Led Zeppelin, Uncle Earl, Django Reinhardt, Dezarie, Fac Alliance, Mah Kouyate, and Outkast.
As the calendar moves into fall and winter, what are your plans for the coming months?
Our plans are to continue to tour, but we are not sure exactly when we will go back into the studio. We've already been discussing material for when we return, but a run out West sometime this year would be great.

Wonderful article! Very insightful and well written. I wanted to say to some of the nAAysayers...
1. Everything in this article can be found in the literature or at any AA meeting free of charge around the globe. Sarah was not exposing a great secret of AA.
2. The content in this article pertaining to AA was in line with the mission "to help fellow alcoholics achieve sobriety"
3. According to our 11th tradition, technically it has not been decided upon by the "lowest" tier of officials, whether or not to include social media . It is in the process but nothing official.
4. Are those who objected to this article going to stop every other article that mentions or has the subject of AA? where is your line in the sand? this article has plenty of inspiring information aside from its connection to AA and could be beneficial for many people.
5. One post-er said he doesn't want to see AA go the way of the RCC because of this article... little dramatic but I will go with you on this. No one wants to see people taken advantage of however this can and does happen. Any organization has the potential to go to extremes, even AA, luckily there are people protecting the goodness that it the true AA message which is what keeps the fellowship pure. I believe Sarah is one who is keeping the openness, honesty and willingness alive and well.
6. Lets just not, with the ad homonim attacks. "I hope she stays sober long enough" I'll tell you what my sponsor tells me, go to a meeting.
7. And lastly, this article was about AA being a wonderful model for non profits and looked into why that is the case. Is it because it was written by an "insider" that you took offense? I would rather someone from the fellowship with the knowledge and understanding about AA write such an article.
Thank you Sarah. again a great article. Very true and insightful. ODAAT.

Cheap, simple, levitating party lamp. It can produce some interesting reactions. Easy to build, easy to make the exterior look good (eventhough I didn't). Fun to build.
Fry an egg on an Intel Pentium 1 (non MMX). The Pentium omlette. Timelapsed. Ingredients: Intel Pentium 1 > 100Mhz ;) , AT PSU, 7808 voltage regulator, and 1 egg
I think this is from the Russian Farm Fox Experiment.
You may have read about making PCBs using a laser printer and photo paper, but previous demonstrations showed that it's quite messy and inefficient. I'd like to prove the contrary :) The secret's in using satin-matte paper instead of high-gloss. With this you can make professional PCBs at home minus the soap-water scrubbing associated with high-gloss paper. Simple and clean :)

...for Paul Janish to be the full-time SS next year?
Use any metric or rationale you wish!
...for Paul Janish to be the full-time SS next year?
Use any metric or rationale you wish!
"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
Assuming of course we add the neccessary offense to make it palatable. But since I doubt that happens he probably can't do enough.
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
better than he has shown he is capable of hitting, in order to be the full time SS next year. But he might show enough improvement from now until the end of the season.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." -- Albert Einstein
If they get more offense to put around him, then his numbers can go down.
If the roster stays the same, he needs to put up about a 1.200 OPS.
Let's assume he's a +10 fielder. At absolute bare minimum he needs to be a -10 bat, which is something like a .250/.320/.330 line over 600 PA. That would him more or less replacement level. For a league minimum salary and barring better options, that's "acceptable".
If we want to actually compete next year and want more than replacement level, it goes up from there. If he can play above average defense and hit .260/.340/.360, I'd be satisfied.
Of course, right now he's hitting .224/.302/.284, which is just some slugging short of his PECOTA weighted mean projection of .223/.296/.341. I'm not sure we should have too much optimism that he'll be able to hit enough to make his glove worthwhile. The way things look right now, his upside is acceptable stopgap starter, his mid-level is acceptable defensive replacement, and his downside is AAA fodder.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
If Janish can put up an OBP of around .330 the he can become an every day SS as long as he hits in the 8th hole. If Dusty wants him to hit in the 2 hole then he needs to get that OBP up even higher, around the .350 mark.
.350 OBP, don't care about the SLG
To be a -10 bat, he'd have to post 600 PAs with a wOBA of roughly .310 (depending upon how he got there, that would translate into an OPS in the .690-.700 range).
I don't think his bat is good enough for him to be an everyday player.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
My OPS figures were a rough approximation, but I think the conclusion is similar. Given that he hits for little power at all (ISO less than .100), he needs to push that average up above .250-260 to get his OBP and SLG to the .340-.350 range and make his bat acceptable.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
At the moment, he is performing WAAAY better (OBP .310 to .258) than Gonzalez did at any time this season. The same goes for Stubbs...he's already outperforming (OBP .281 to .273; OPS .707 to .557) Taveras this season, so the removal of those two was a marked improvement in both our defense AND offense.
I think Janish is at the lower end of acceptable now, as long as he's batting 7th or 8th. If he can get it (his OBP) up to .350 he'll be more palatable as a #2 hitter, but still not ideal. Dickerson's OBP is .373...as far as I'm concerned, you need to beat that to sit at the top of the order in 2010.
"Okay you guys, pair up in threes!" --Yogi Berra
I've said it in other threads and I become more convinced each day, this team needs a couple top end talents in the rotation and the line-up to move into contention and there is simply no money to acquire any. The best chance that this team realistically has is for Bailey, Cueto and Bruce to become what they were once projected to be. Its probably still a long shot, but its more likely that Bailey becomes an ace than it is that this team would have the combination of money, talent and attraction to acquire and keep one. Its more likely that Bruce becomes the MVP caliber bat that this team needs to propel the line-up with Votto, Rolen and Phillips than it is this team can acquire somebody. Those things happen, and solid role player types like Stubbs, Janish, Arroyo and Harang provide solid support, but if Bailey, Cueto and Bruce become simply role players or less themselves, then the Reds need to upgrade other spots to star caliber players and I just don't see the team being able to do so without a significant financial leap of faith from Cast and the limited partners. The payroll would probably need to jump well over $100 Million to acquire what is needed to go with the guys already here.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
If he's going to be the #2 hitter, I care a lot more about his OBP than his SLG. The same could be said for Drew Stubbs as long as he's leading off. Therefore, a .340 OBP with a SLG of at least .330 will make me happy.

AMERICA/CHILE - "Family, public education and well-paid job," the concern of the Church
Santiago (Agenzia Fides) - "We are concerned about the present and the future of our country," say the Bishops of Chile in a statement published at the end of their 105th Plenary Assembly held last week.
"We invite all believers to pray for peace and justice, understanding and cooperation among peoples and for the issues that are currently the concern of everyone, especially us pastors: the minimum wage, trade union disputes, public education, the family and respect for life."
The document expresses the joy of the Catholic community for the newly-elected Pope Francis and the commitment to pray for his mission. Given the strong participation of priests from different parts of the Country, the bishops also expressed the desire to "walk together with the priests in the work of evangelization in this time of mission."

How To Find A Life Coach?
Defining life coaching loosely, a coach is someone that helps you find out where you want to be in life and creates a structured process in order to meet your determined goals. Coaching is creating a thriving market as it gains popularity and credibility. Given the fact that it is not a regulated industry, just about anyone can "claim" the life coaching title, so it is important to be wary of any wannabe's.
With the recession we are being faced with today, life coaching is becoming even more popular. Although money poses a concern, people are still finding someway to invest in coaching for themselves. So how do you find a life coach that is worth your cash?
One of the most powerful ways is to ask around. A majority of clients actually find a coach by someone they know and by word of mouth. This is a great place to start because it begins with the trust factor. Also, find out where the coach did training as well as if they have a background education in psychology, organizational development or a solid foundation to help people make lasting changes. A certified coach is highly recommended! The certification should be from a highly reputable entity, or from a coach with credentials.
When seeking a life coach it is important to be specific. The reality is that time is money. Therefore, be precise about why you are choosing to work with them and what you want to accomplish. You and your coach should agree on this and develop a plan together. Whether you are going because you have a problem or because you want a career change, make it known to your coach. Also, keep in mind not all problems should be handled by a coach. Any medically defined disorder such as depression or anxiety should be referred to a license practitioner. A reputable coach would recognize this and offer immediate alternatives for your needs.
Despite any potential fraudulent factors, most clients have had great experiences with coaching and have made tremendous progress in their lives. If you utilize the above suggestions when finding a life coach, like me, life coaching will transform your life!
Do I Need A Life Coach?
Do you feel stuck?
Do you feel lonely?
Life coaching will help you identify areas in your life that may be unfulfilling or that needs change. The industry of coaching has been around for a long time, but more popular in the world of sports or business. A golf professional may hire a coach to improve his swing accuracy or a company may hire a business consultant to increase productivity in their business. In both of these situations the coach or consultant is considered an expert in their field.
This is not necessarily the case with life coaching. A coach does not claim to be a professional in every area, such as finances, athletics, business, but have the ability to work with individuals in many different areas.
The job of a coach is not to advise how you should live your life, rather help you explore areas of your life that may need more attention or where you may wish to make changes, set goals and encourage you through the process. Not always do people choose a coach because of a problem, some people are happy and on the right track, but wish to have someone to hold them accountable and provide support for them during their journey.
So, you may be asking yourself, do I need a life coach?
The answer to this question is simple, No. Nobody actually needs a life coach rather it is a choice. No matter what phase in life you are in, a life coach can be beneficial. Usually a coach will help you to examine all of the major areas of your life whether it is career, health, or relationships and find out what may be holding you back from getting to where you want to be. The truth is they are all intertwined, so if you are having struggles with your relationships, then this could be affecting other areas of your life.
The decision to hire a life coach is an investment in yourself and your life. When will you be ready to change your life?
What Is Life Coaching
- increased self-esteem,
- weight loss,
- career advancement,
- better relationships, and many, many more.
- Do you feel stuck?
- Are you struggling in your relationships?
- Do you know your life's purpose?

Alta Badia - Special Obstacle - Freeski
"Let´s go to Alta Badia, they have a big kicker there!" Under this slogan a bunch of media crews made their way to the dolomites. 5.500m³ of artificial snow, 50 hours in the bully and 60 hours manual work were needed to make the special obstacle in Alta Badia happen. After a testing phase by locals and shapers, the shooting started right away. Freeski pro Felix Prankl was one of the first and reports on the fight with the kicker.

4. Technical Questions
Q. What is the purpose of the recovery partition?
A. Computers that we ship have an authorized Microsoft Windows Operating System installed. Some may include a recovery reinstallation partition option that will show up on the boot screen. The regular Windows partition will boot by default. Do NOT choose the recovery option unless an Microsoft Windows OS reinstall is needed. If a Reinstall is chosen and accepted, then all drivers and applications will need to be reinstalled. If you inadvertently enter into the reinstallation operation, wait until the install Windows screen comes up and then click the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the window. When the "Install Windows" cancellation box pops up, click on yes and allow the system to reboot. Select Windows 7 or Windows 8 from the boot screen. Failure to follow this procedure correctly can cause your system to become in-operable and is NOT considered a warranty repair incident.
We do everything we can think of to make it easy for you to find the computer parts you need from this store. But if you ever have any questions or concerns about your order, just contact Customer Support or call us at at 1-512-671-6677.
