John Perry's insights and laugh-out-loud humor bring to mind Thurber, Wodehouse, and Harry Frankfurt's On Bullshit. This charming and accessible audio educates, entertains, and illuminates a universal subject. Procrastinators will be relieved to learn that you can actually accomplish quite a lot while procrastinating. In fact, the book itself is the result of Perry avoiding grading papers, refereeing academic proposals, and reviewing dissertation drafts. It also has a practical side, offering up advice that listeners can put to use. Who knew that placing "Learn Chinese" at the top of your to-do list would inspire you to get the less monumental tasks below it done?
Witty, wise, and beautifully written, The Art of Procrastination will make the perfect gift for the untold number of lollygaggers out there.

"Great read for a time-management nerd like me."
Lighthearted, but actually dispensing real and good advice on time management, Perry lays out a method for getting stuff done while procrastinating ("structured procrastination"). For $1.95, a real bargain and not bloated in the way an actual self-improvement book, presumably written by a non-academic philosopher, would be. There's some great insights here. E.g., a short to-do list is a bad idea for the procrastinator; with so few options to put off, the procrastinator ends up doing nothing. But with a thick and detailed to do list, the procrastinator has the option of putting off the first few items in order to accomplish other items on the list.
Self-improvement books about time management are one of my guilty pleasures. I also have a background (long ago) in academic philosophy. Probably not a surprise, then, that I was really tickled by Perry's short book. This is a great starter on the topic and not much of a time commitment.
Some quick thoughts about other treatises on this topic:
*Tony Robbin's Awaken the Inner Giant. Clearly, if you're going to read this, you'll need to hide that fact from your friends and family and strangers on the bus. This book ought to be made with a fake War and Peace cover. While you keep telling yourself that you're only reading it ironically, you'll quietly be admitting that there's fantastic advice. Robbins is probably the best on techniques to transform the procrastinator's proclivity for avoiding the top of the to-do list (whereas Perry simply concedes that procrastination may be a fact of your nature). Having said that, I'm not admitting I've ever read any Tony Robbins.
*David Allen's Getting Things Done. It's probably the best with an ultra-detailed information, task, and time-management system. Unlike Perry, Allen is a bit soup-nazi-esque.
*Manage Your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus, etc etc. This book often appears on Amazon or Audible as recommended if you like David Allen. It's really junk. Short little essays and, for the bigger names, Q and As, that all are little more than advertisements for other books, blogs, and the like.
*How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day. Written like a hundred years ago, but you wouldn't realize that from just reading it. And you can read it in an hour.
*Josh Kaufman's the First Twenty Hours. Kaufman and Perry, though from different angles, show you how the desire for perfection can lead to procrastination. If you want your output to be perfect, it can paralyze you from ever starting the project. But Kaufman's thesis is that it only takes 10 – 20 hours of deliberate practice to become enjoyably competent at a new skill. By the way, I really do not recommend Kaufman's book.
*The Spirit of Kaizen. Perry references this one. I don't recommend it because its 180 pages that repeat the same core idea. But, that core idea is helpful – small changes can have huge effects; make the smallest possible change that will improve a process. Then repeat.
"Doing everything except what you should"
My brother once said, "Did you ever notice how everything is more interesting when you have homework looming? Even bad TV?" Well this short book discusses why that is. It will get you thinking about your procrastinating and when you are likely to do it.
You know better. Still you persist.
I found this discussion of putting-things-off humorous, honest and real. It does not make lists of helpful tools so you can cure your bad habit. Instead the author just assumes that you procrastinate and will continue to do so. And the discussion goes from there. For some reason that works for changing my habits more than those hokey "you should" books. This book is as long as a movie. Once started, I didn't procrastinate. I listened to the entire book in one evening. It was fun and thought provoking and I think helpful.
"So Enjoyable!"
I loved this audiobook. The information presented is humorous, but practical. I loved the personal stories as they served to remind me, 'Hey! I'm not THAT bad!'. Even while dealing with procrastination in a funny way, Mr. Perry still managed to help you see how you can move your projects along and that you still might be doing productive things...maybe just not THE thing you need to do. It's a nice way to make you feel good about yourself when you're beating yourself up for not being as busy as you'd like to be.
The narrator did a great job and it was a pleasure to listen to him.
I will look for other works from both author and narrator.
"unexpectedly entertaining, down-to-earth, fun"
I never write reviews but this is one of the most entertaining books I've heard (and writing a review is a nice way to avoid doing other things :); I LOVE Perry's sense of humor and self-effacing honesty. This is a great read/listen.... I also suspect it will be incredibly helpful (still listening to the book).
"Deep Gratitude from a Structured Procratinator"
My 3rd grade teacher wrote on my report card I was a procrastinator - John Perry finally made that okay for me. Thank you Mr. Perry. I am proud to be a "Structured Procrastinator".
I can not think of one. The author is an accomplished professional. He is realistic and takes a humorous approach to solving by normalizing what for many has been a life long struggle.
He slips in a few helpful hits and good ideas. I have already signed up for LazyMeter.com. I do wish they would change their name - but I love their simple approach and visual graphs that shows you really aren't lazy - which is after all the whole idea.
Great voice, lovely pace and humor.
Structured Procrastinators Unite and Create a Horizontal Filing System!
It was a wonderful book. I have already recommended it to several others.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"Not even if you have nothing else to do..."
I think many of us are sometimes either encouraged to purchase or dissuaded from reading a book by a publisher's summary. I know that I can be influenced by them. Like most things in life we are trying to decide about, we search for support of our position to do something that we are leaning toward such as purchasing a book. We use these summaries as well as the reviews of others to give us that little extra nudge to hit that "Add to Cart" button. In deciding to purchase The Art of Procrastination..., I believe that I was totally misled by the summary and in disagreement with most of the reviewers. This book was one of the smallest wastes of time I can imagine.
The book was one of the smallest wastes of time only because it was so short. I finished it in one round trip drive to and from a work assignment. Thank goodness I didn't waste that time doing something that required my full attention... or... maybe I did. There's continuing debate about whether we can safely multitask while driving. Though the book certainly was not so profound as to draw my attention away from the road. It was not so laugh-out-loud funny as to cause my eyes to tear up and obstruct my vision of the road. It was not so wise as to cause me to ponder and plumb its depths and unconsciously and dangerously change lanes. Not once did I think of Thurber, Wodehouse, or Harry Frankfurt's *On Bullshit* though there was plenty of dung to conjure those thoughts and be analogous to the contents of this book along the country roads of my drive. The book was not for me at all insightful, charming or witty. It did not entertain, educate or illuminate.
I can only conclude that the author is, as he claims to be, the consummate procrastinator: Anything else the author might have had to do and that he put off doing, had to be more important than writing this book. If you are looking to procrastinate, justify and avoid doing something else more important then read or listen to this book. But I can promise you that almost anything else that you do instead will be more rewarding. If your wish is to discontinue your procrastinating, you will find no insights here: avoid it.
"Funny but not really a guide"
This is a fun book about procrastination, but not really a guide. As a structured procrastinator, the author actually accomplishes quite a bit... just not the most important thing he was supposed to have done at the moment. It is an entertaining and witty way of looking at the weakness of procrastination. After all, the author wrote this book to avoid doing something else. His stories are amusing, like a "to do" that starts off with waking up, don't press the snooze button, and getting out of bed... which he happily crosses out each item with a red pen. By the time he has his cup of coffee in the morning, he had already completed seven things on his list.
Always moving. Always listening. Always learning. "After all this time?" "Always."
"2011 Ig Nobel-Winning Essay"
John Perry's "The Art of Procrastination: A Guide to Effective Dawdling, Lollygagging, and Postponing" (2012) is a fun little listen - if you get around to it (Imagine a winking emoticon here).
Dr. Perry (he has a PhD) is a philosopher and is on the faculty at Stanford and the University of California, Riverside. Unlike a psychologist, Perry takes what is (procrastination, in this essay) and looks at it a different way. A psychologist would take what is (a bad habit) and try to change it. In Perry's philosophy, have something you keep putting off? Put something more daunting on your "to do" list, like learning Ancient Latin; don't do that; and do what you've been putting off instead.
Perry was awarded a 2011 Ig Nobel for his work in this essay. "To be a high achiever, always work on something important, using it as a way to avoid doing something that's even more important." The Igs are awards for real research that "first make people laugh, and then make them think."
What I really, really liked was Perry's suggestion to put a "don't do" on the "to do" list. It works like this: Suppose that you normally hit the snooze on the alarm a couple of times. Or six. Put on your "to do" list, "don't hit the snooze button". And when you get out of bed the first time, there's a check mark on the "to do" list. It's a 'Not to Do' To Do List. That works for me.
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
I'm sure I'm not saying anything other reviewers haven't already, but I am truly glad I purchased this audiobook. I have spent years agonizing over my inability to use any sort of filing system regularly, no matter how organized and easy to use, never realizing that piling papers (I swear I know where most things are) makes me a horizontal organizer. Also, I have come to accept that a lot of the tasks I complete while procrastinating are, in fact, productive! I only wish I had found this book sooner.
Business Physicist and Astronomer
"Put This Off"
This isn't worth the time. I found it unhelpful. Was hoping to find some solace for clients who wrestle with procrastination. Didn't find any.
I did find a few statements disturbing. Being late in submitting an article the author informs us that 'everyone is months late' on article submissions. I see this as a failure to honor commitments. Sure, maybe it's true that authors are always late. But shouldn't we keep our deadlines that we agree to? I just don't go with the philosophy that it's okay to do things your way when other people are involved. I tire of waiting for things that people promise me. Sure, there are times when we get behind. That's time to step up and own up, no time to adopt a 'me centric' attitude that you can just wait.
To me, there is a distinction between raking the leaves and doing a work project on time. One doesn't really matter, the other is a commitment to a person. So put off reading this but do get that report in on time.
I'm sure the author is a good guy. You can deduct that from the writing. But I also find working with people who justify bad habits to be annoying in the long run.
Save your credits. Better to focus on getting better than accepting a bad habit.

Judge Koh Gives Apple a Lump of Coal, Denies Samsung Smartphone Ban
Jason Mick
December 18, 2012 12:49 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Despite willful infringement findings, Judge argues Apple did not prove that it lost its ability to participate
A California federal judge has ordered that while Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) is guilty of willful infringement of software and design patents held by Apple, Inc. (
), that she would not order a sweeping ban of Samsung smartphones, which Apple had argued for.
I. A Lump of Coal -- Apple Gets no Ban in its Stocking
Apple and Samsung are currently the two
and most prolific smartphone makers in terms of U.S. sales. Samsung's recent success was
kick-started by the Galaxy S
, a phone that some felt borrowed a little too much from the iPhone.
Since then, the tables have turned and it has been Samsung (and its operating system partner Google Inc. (
)) that has been pushing the user interface and form factor envelope. For example, Samsung's flagship
Galaxy Note II
Galaxy S3
feature 5.5-inch and 4.8-inch displays, respectively, prompting Apple to begrudging bump its screen size to 4-inches with the
iPhone 5
Federal Judge Lucy Koh
Overall, there are signs that Apple's so-called "patent war" against Google's alliance of Android manufacturers is cooling. Apple
recently agreed to
a 10-year licensing agreement
with HTC Corp. (
). And it appears to have exhausted its U.S. legal avenues against Motorola Mobility after its case against the Google subsidiary was dismissed with prejudice
not once,
not twice
but three times
But the fight between Apple and Samsung remains ongoing and bitter.
In her ruling on Monday,
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
Judge Lucy Koh
wrote that
the $1.05B USD jury verdict
against Samsung was a legitimate reflection that Samsung's violation of six Apple design and utility patents may have caused Apple to lose some customers.
Apple's request to ban Samsung smartphones was denied on Monday.

However, when it comes to banning products, she comments, "There is no suggestion that Samsung will wipe out Apple's customer base or force Apple out of the business of making smartphones. The present case involves lost sales -- not a lost ability to be a viable market participant."
"In sum, to the limited extent that Apple has been able to show that any of its harms were caused by Samsung's illegal conduct (in this case, only trade dress dilution)," she concludes, "Apple has not established that the equities support an injunction. Accordingly, Apple's motion for a permanent injunction is DENIED."
Apple Denied Motion for Permanent Injunction
II. Ban Could Still be Resurrected
The ruling was in some ways unsurprising as Judge Koh had previously denied a similar request for a U.S. sales ban on the Galaxy Tab.
Both denials are likely to be appealed to higher U.S. courts,
as stated
by Florian Mueller, a
paid "consultant"/commentator
for anti-Android software firm Oracle Corp. (
That means Samsung isn't out of the woods just yet. It's very possible that the likely appeals court --
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
-- might order Judge Koh to reconsider a ban. Such an order could force the federal judge's hand.
In fact, that is precisely what happened after Judge Koh denied a request for a preliminary injunction earlier in the case. The Circuit Court
[PDF] Judge Koh to reconsider, and she did, issuing the temporary ban. The Circuit Court made its decision, in part, because sales bans are often used in patent infringement cases in the U.S. to provide so-called "injunctive-relief" to the plaintiff.
Apple will likely appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
However, there are no guarantees for Apple either. While sales bans are common, the scope and magnitude of the ban Apple is pushing for are rather unprecedented and would represent a U.S. court removing a major participant from the U.S.'s supposedly "free market".
Thus it should be interesting to see what the higher court says when the inevitable appeal does come.
III. Samsung's Request for Retrial Also Smacked Down
Speaking of appeals, Apple did win one small victory in the ruling. Judge Koh denied Samsung's request for a retrial.
Samsung had requested the verdict be tossed and a new trial scheduled after it was revealed that Jury Foreman Velvin Hogan did not reveal, despite direct questioning, that a company tied to Samsung had sued him, and thus might be biased against the device-maker. Mr. Hogan in the 1990s been sued by hard-drive manufacturer Seagate, which today controls Samsung's old hard drive business, after he failed to repay a promissory note after being terminated (reportedly, for misconduct).
The idea was that the Jury Foreman's history could have introduced a bias against Samsung that permeated to other jurors.
It was also known that several jurors had family members who were Apple shareholders, but Judge Koh had previously ruled that was acceptable, in that they would only indirectly profit from Samsung being found guilty, not directly profit. Samsung did not mention that potential conflict of interest in its failed appeal.
Much like the product ban request, Samsung may opt to take its request for a retrial to the Circuit Court.
The Galaxy Note II will be targeted in the second upcoming patent trial in
Apple and Samsung's legal war.
Both companies are currently gearing up for
a second major lawsuit
in the Northern California Federal Court. That case will tackle patent infringement claims by both companies against
their latest respective flagship products
, including the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note II and S3.
A trial is slotted for early next year.

Todo bien! un apartamento muy lindo!
Alles bestens, schönes Appartement!
Everything perfect, lovely place!
A really nice property but ultimately disappointing. A completely refurbished fisherman cottage. Two of us stayed there for 9 nights and was the most expensive we have ever spent and didn't think overall it offered great value for money. Was originally superbly refurbished but doesn't seem to have been maintained since then.
The photos do reflect the property and there is plenty of space, especially for two and should be sufficient for 4 but there are limitations. One sofa for three in a line but needs more. Lots of towels so no issue there. Plus a bathroom and a separate toilets. The kitchen has plenty of crockery, cutlery etc so no issues here. Also the air con worked well but we only used it at night.
Biggest issues are complete lack of any basic condiments and things to cook with except for some salt and sugar, if would are staying for the amount of time we did then helpful to have these. Also a lack of cleansing materials. The advert said Internet access which was essential. They provided us with a 4G wireless router, which didn't work well. I was getting better data rates through my iphone which is only 3G, even have data rate tests to prove it!
The biggest issue was that the address on the advert was number 26, it transpired that it was 266. May not sound much but had we know we would not have booked it. It is a further 15/20 mins walk from where we expected it to be and in a completely different location.
Word of warming: if you have any sort mobility issues, infirm or have young children do not book it. Access into the property is via a very narrow set of steps which are steep and potentially dangerous. No child gates and getting up and down with cases was really tricky.
Fine and comfortable lodging. A spacious apartment in a neat apartment building. The location is excellent. Between the old town and beach. The metro is 10 minutes walk away, but if you like walking both destinations are also well on foot. The supermarket is around the corner. On Friday and Saturday night there are between the apartment buildings, many tapas bars where you can eat. It's pretty busy then.
Prima en comfortabele verblijfplaats. Ruim bemeten appartement in een net appartementencomplex. De ligging is uitstekend. Tussen oude stad en strand in. De metro ligt op 10 minuten afstand lopen, maar als je van wandelen houdt zijn beide bestemmingen ook goed te voet bereikbaar. De supermarkt ligt om de hoek. Op vrijdag- en zaterdag avond zijn er tussen de appartementsgebouwen veel barretjes waar je tapas kunt eten. Het is er dan gezellig druk.
A few days before departure we got the message that there were problems in the apartment next to Plaza Reina. We received a replacement apartment offered. We were sorry that we could not in the apartment of our choice. Wimdu has finally solved everything fine. The other apartment was great. Calle del mar 44. Brand new with all the trimmings! We had five wonderful days!
Enkele dagen voor vertrek kregen we het bericht dat er problemen waren in het appartement naast Plaza Reina. We hebben een vervangend appartement aangeboden gekregen. We vonden het jammer dat we niet in het appartement van onze keuze konden. Uiteindelijk heeft wimdu alles prima opgelost. Het andere appartement was geweldig. Calle del mar 44. Gloednieuw met alles erop en eraan! We hebben 5 heerlijke dagen gehad!
very nice place, good location, nice rooftop terrace too
one minor point: a bad smell in the appartment: best to sleep with the windows open (and earplugs!)
Ideal area for young and party. Nice and comfortable, clean and well equipped. Not suitable for children: many stairs, street noise. Missing size sofa bed linens. Host arrived half an hour late without parking area, but very nice and attentive.
Ideal la zona para jóvenes y fiesta. Bonito y cómodo, limpio y muy bien equipado. No ideal para niños: muchas escaleras, ruido en la calle. Faltan sábanas tamaño sofá-cama. Anfitrión llegó media hora tarde en zona sin parking, pero muy agradable y atenta.
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The apartment was nice and very clean, and we especially enjoyed the terrace on the top floor. The view was just amazing! The hosts were nice as well and we'd definitely recommend the apartment to others!
It is a beautiful, well maintained apartment in the old town of Valencia. We had beautiful days there. Marga
Het is een prachtig, goed onderhouden appartement in de oude binnenstad van Valencia. We hebben mooie dagen daar gehad.

Actually, there are probably a lot more of us who are descended from other Europeans who came to Britain during the Roman occupation. Plus, as we already know from previous studies, quite a lot of us are descended from the various Viking groups which came over here in the 9th to 10th centuries for a bit of rape and pillage and then either stayed or went home for the missus before settling here. Britons are mongrels, there's no doubt about that!_________________________

Dunno what they mean by "direct descendants". It's not like genes are great respecters of primogeniture.

The article says, "The study concluded: "Since the number of Italians or descendants of Italians in the legions did reduce very much over time, we estimate conservatively that one million men in Britain descend from Romans in the direct male line."
As to the numbers of people in Scotland bearing these genes, this is most probably mainly a result of the large Italian immigration to scotland - particularly Glasgow - in the late C19 and early C20. Movement between Glasgow and Blefast may possibly explsin some of the Irish results, although there is also the consideration that there was a fair amount of trade between Ireland and the Romans - and withn italy, later on. Casual relationships with sailors and travellers, resident agents and traders, all bring a likelihood of gene distribution.

Can we tell, genetically, who is in the direct male line? Direct female line, sure, with mitochondrial DNA, but male?

Don't take our word for it that gift cards are one of the best holiday season cash flow-boosters your restaurant can offer.

Let's start with a quick review of why gift cards are such a good deal for restaurants. In addition to delivering their face value in cash up front, ...

The BD-ROM drive though? Doesn't Sony make their own? You can buy a brand new LiteOn OEM BD-ROM for $59.
Even though Sony Computer Entertainment has managed to greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of its PlayStation 3 video game system, the company still sells its console at a loss, according to a new teardown analysis conducted by iSuppli market research firm. In fact, the latest PS3 Slim 120GB costs $336.27 to make.
"Since the introduction of the PlayStation 3 in late 2006, Sony has subsidized the price of every console sold, a deficit the company has made up for with game sales and royalties. However, with each new revision of the game console hardware, Sony has aggressively designed out costs to reach the hardware and manufacturing breakeven point as quickly as possible. The latest version of the PlayStation 3 manages to further reduce the loss, even with the U.S. price of the console having fallen by $100 during the past year, said Andrew Rassweiler, director and principal analyst in teardown services division of iSuppli.
New Chips Help to Cut Costs
To reduce costs, this design of the latest-generation PlayStation 3 is significantly revised from previous versions. The major changes involve the use of less expensive semiconductors, a general redesign of the product and a reduction in the number of components in the console.
The new version employs some critical semiconductors that are manufactured, using more advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology at the 65nm and 45nm nodes. Such chips are less expensive than those using older processes employed in previous-generation PlayStation 3 consoles.
The Nvidia Reality Synthesizer (RSX) remains the most expensive chip in the PlayStation 3, at $45.82. However, that's a 21% decline from the Reality Engine employed in the previous version of the PlayStation 3 hardware, based on pricing in October 2008. iSuppli believes Sony is employing a part that is made by using 65nm technology, compared to 90nm in the initial version of the PlayStation 3 in October 2006.
The latest PlayStation 3 features a new version of the IBM Cell processor, using 45nm process technology. iSuppli's October estimate of the cost of the Cell was $37.73, a nearly 19% reduction from $46.46 for the 65nm part in the previous-generation PlayStation 3.
Still, the most expensive part of PS3 is still Blu-ray drive, which costs $66. It is also noteworthy that 256MB of XDR memory costs $39.2, which makes memory the third most expensive part of Sony PlayStation 3.
Given its extensive range of capabilities, the PlayStation 3 has always been a complex product with a large number of components. But the latest version is simplified considerably in terms of not only component and subsystem counts but also overall complexity. Excluding the controller and the box contents, the latest version of the PlayStation 3 includes approximately 2568 components, down from 4048 in the original version.
The new chips also cut the power usage of the PlayStation 3, allowing design changes that reduce hardware costs. The new system cuts the energy budget nearly in half from the first-generation hardware as the new PS3 employs a 220W master power supply, compared to a 400W supply in the first version. The lower wattage reduces the cost of the power supply as well as other power and cooling components.
PlayStation 3 Near the Tipping Point for Profitability
Based on a dissection and analysis of the console, iSuppli has determined that the PlayStation 3 Slim 120GB, released in September, carries a combined bill of materials (BOM) and manufacturing/test cost of $336.27. At a newly reduced retail price of $299, the latest version of the PlayStation 3 comes closer to breaking even than any previous version of the product.
The new PlayStation 3 120GB is priced at $299 in the United States, which means Sony sells each PlayStation 3 in the United States for $37.27 less than its materials and manufacturing cost. In comparison, iSuppli's Teardown Analysis Service determined that Sony sold the previous-generation PlayStation 3 for $49.72 less than its manufacturing and materials cost, based on pricing from October 2008.
iSuppli's teardown analysis accounts only for hardware and manufacturing costs and does not take into consideration other expenses, such as software, box contents and royalties. Thus, the difference between the cost of the product and the U.S. price is even greater than $31.27.
However, the U.S. price for the console likely is somewhat lower than overall worldwide average. Furthermore, ongoing reductions in component pricing will cause the materials cost to decline significantly in 2010.
"In light of these factors, the PlayStation 3 probably is already at or near the tipping point for profitability," Mr. Rassweiler said.

Boarder was a fake account.
I agree entirely but posters like me (340 posts in 10 years) are swamped by people who can post 10,375 posts in 6 years.
Since you are so knowledgable can you tell me why Boarder was banned if debate and discussion are the norm.
He has a ( rarely used) account on these boards under his real name and is one of the most polite men you could wish to meet..

By Rick White
Steve Friskup will humbly tell you he didn't know what to do, frozen by uncertainty as a crowd gathered around a fellow calf roper who lay sprawled in the dirt, felled by an apparent heart attack.
Don West, who had just finished a run in an amateur roping event in Stephenville, Texas, showed no signs of life as several men feverishly performed CPR on the Oklahoma cowboy and horse trainer, Friskup said. A cowboy preacher from Muleshoe, Friskup remembers pacing near West's body that September afternoon and praying.
He said he was hesitant to pray over the limp body for fear of looking silly.
And then came a nudge, as one of the dozens of cowboys gathered around the warmup roping pen put his hand in the middle of Friskup's back and guided him to the fallen roper.
"I put my hands on his ankles and started praying," Friskup said. "Then I felt a hand on my right shoulder, and then my left shoulder, and people began to pray. And in the middle of praying, (West) starting coughing and came around."
Friskup said later that day West called from the hospital to say thanks and let folks know he was OK.
Friskup is sure it was a miracle, as sure as he was when he accepted Jesus Christ into his life eight years ago.
"I know one thing. I know the Lord came to me. I had guys coming up to me who I know weren't true believers, and they had tears in their eyes. … It was pretty overwhelming."
Johnny Johnson of Amarillo said he's always believed in miracles but never witnessed one until that day in the roping arena.
"It was one of those things that sent a chill up your spine," said Johnson, who added West was doing fine when he saw him about a month ago.
"I heard one of the guys working on him say he didn't have a pulse," said Johnson, who has known West for about 30 years. "He turned just as gray as you can turn.
"Steve got the microphone and we got to a prayin', and when I opened my eyes (West) had his color back and was breathing."
Johnson said he has no doubt God worked a miracle through Friskup.
After West was taken by ambulance to the hospital, Friskup said he asked God why it was necessary for him to get down and pray over the body.
"He told me that if nobody gets down and prays over the body, how will they know it was me (the Lord)," Friskup said.

Firefighters scrambled to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center early Friday morning after a fire broke out at The Cheesecake Factory restaurant at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center in Waikiki, according to fire officials.
The fire broke out around 3:23 a.m inside The Cheesecake Factory kitchen.
A restaurant cleaning employee described hearing an explosion and attempted to put out the fire with an extinguisher.
The fire is believed to have started behind a fryer in the kitchen and quickly spread through the ventilation system.
Fire crews arrived on the scene as flames were visible from the fourth floor of the shopping center.
Police shut down Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki while fire crews worked on the flames.
"Honestly, it's heartbreaking -- it's heartbreaking for us," said The Cheesecake Factory employee Natasha Flores.
Crews were able to extinguish the fire by 5:30 a.m. No injuries were reported.
Fire investigators say the cause of the fire was an accidental gas leak to a deep fat fryer. The cause of the leak is undetermined. A pilot light in the appliance was the source of ignition for the leaking gas.
Click here to see photos from the fire on your mobile device.
Damage is estimated at $2,500,000. This includes damage to the restaurant's kitchen, exhaust duct and smoke damage to adjacent businesses in the shopping center.
The Cheesecake Factory opened in Waikiki in 2004 and is the top-grossing restaurant in the company's chain.
The road was reopened at around 7 a.m.
The Cheesecake Factory was closed on Friday. No word on when the restaurant will reopen.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Ferdinand Hodler, Richard Wagner, Giovanni Segantini. What reads like a "Who's Who" of leading writers, philosophers and artists of times past is also a list of travellers who came to love the Engadine. Where all sought and found recuperation and recovery, diversion and artistic inspiration as well as sporting and Alpine challenges.
Today the Engadine is Graubünden's cultural epicentre. Thanks to the Romansch language, the proximity to Italy and the majority of the local population being German speaking, three cultural regions converge here. Small but select galleries and museums show exceptional works of art from Switzerland and also from abroad. Chamber orchestras, UNESCO World Heritage sites, traditional customs such as Schlitteda (festive sleigh rides) and Chalandamarz (1 March children's festival) as well as many top-class art events have further established the reputation of St. Moritz as a cultural metropolis.

Jefferies: 'Mini' Berkshire or 'Bizzaro' Buffett?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With Jefferies(JEF) chief executive Richard Handler set to take the reins of Leucadia National (LUK) after their Monday merger , the biggest unanswered question is whether in taking control of a conglomerate often referred to as a "mini" Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) , Handler can perform up to the standards of investing Superman Warren Buffett.
Or, as in the famed comic's storyline, the deal simply molds a "Bizzaro" Buffett with a company that becomes the antithesis of the investing Man of Steel's performance.
After Monday's deal, Jefferies employees and shareholders are likely still trying to figure out what exactly they are getting in the share combination with Leucadia National and no one is likely to be asking that question more than CEO Handler. He was one of the Jefferies' largest independent shareholders prior to the deal and will be tasked with managing the investment bank and a conglomerate with operations spanning the timber, energy, gaming, real estate and healthcare industries, among others.
Meanwhile, for Wall Streeters, Jefferies sale to Leucadia National highlights a score of questions overhanging the industry.
Does the deal mark the end to the full-service independent investment banking model? That's especially true as rating agency downgrades compel Wall Street firms like Jefferies and Morgan Stanley (MS) to strengthen partnerships with commercial banking partners after Merrill Lynch was absorbed by Bank of America (BAC) and Bear Stearns was bailed out by JPMorgan(JPM) . Was the relatively low price of the stock deal an indication of a bearish outlook for the financial sector, as lawmakers wrangle over a so-called 'fiscal cliff' and the European debt crisis remains unresolved?
Jefferies partnership with Leucadia National certainly raises many big issues for Wall Street, with KBW analysts calling the deal "defensive," and ratings agency Moody's taking a wait and see approach on upgrades, which it could pull the bank from its near speculative grade rating of Baa3.
The more immediate question is whether with Jefferies' operations and management, Leucadia will continue to draw comparison to Warren Buffett's style and Berkshire Hathaway's earnings consistency.
Leucadia National, co-founded in the late 1970's by Ian Cumming and Joseph Steinberg, has grown through acquisitions from a small financial services specialist into a conglomerate with scores of operations and annual revenue in excess of $1.5 billion. The company's structure and long-term perspective of its founders often gives way to comparison to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, a conglomerate with earnings so diverse it's seen as a proxy for corporate America.
A look at Leucadia National's earnings and even the terms of Monday's deal signal that while the company is diverse and has grown at a Buffett-like clip, it is no Baby-Berkshire Hathaway.
Unlike Berkshire, Leucadia National wasn't able to weather the financial crisis without posting an annual loss. Meanwhile, the company's shares are roughly half what they were prior to the crisis, while Berkshire shares have gained back most of the ground lost since 2008.

Dordt College Honors Recital
September 16, 2013
The Dordt College music department is presenting an Honors Recital on Friday, September 20, at 3 p.m., in the B.J. Haan Auditorium. A reception honoring the performers will follow in the lobby.

Rose practiced Thursday afternoon for the first time since he scored seven points in 24 minutes in Team USA's 95-78 exhibition win over Brazil on Saturday night in Chicago. He was held out of Wednesday's game against the Dominican Republic, a 105-72 win in Madison Square Garden.
"I'm feeling good," Rose said. "I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow and see how it goes, and I'm just trying to stay positive until then."
Rose is on the mend from his second knee surgery last November when he was injured while playing for the Chicago Bulls. Saturday's exhibition was his first game since then.
Rose said he could have played Wednesday.
"But there's no point when you can get a little bit more rest, so that's all I'm trying to do," Rose said.
Team USA is preparing for the FIBA World Cup in Spain starting Aug. 30.
"If I can play, I'm gonna play -- no matter when it is or how many games it is," Rose said. "If I'm healthy enough to play, I'm gonna play. I'm not worried about that."

Juan Samuel
Second Baseman
Career w/Phillies: .262 AVG / 100 HR / 413 RBI / 249 SB
Sammy. From 1983 to 1989, Juan Samuel was the resident thief at Veterans Stadium, swiping bags like it was his job. Well, it was his job. Seventh in franchise history in stolen bases, he holds the single-season mark with his 72 swipes in 1984. He fell back to Earth with 53 in 1985, then 42, 35 and 33 in '86, '87 and '88, respectively. Otherwise he was a consummate free swinger ("You don't walk off the island, you hit."), striking out at least 140 times in five consecutive seasons while only drawing an average of about 40 walks per season (he led the National League in strikeouts his first four full seasons in the league). The free swinging paid off a bit, as he clubbed a career-high 28 home runs in 1987, driving in 100 in the process. The two-time All Star and runner-up for 1984 Rookie of the Year was the first player in major league history to reach double figures in doubles, triples, home runs and stolen bases in each of his first four major league seasons. He was traded in midseason 1989 to the Mets. The Phillies received Lenny Dykstra — a good move, in retrospect. Samuel was inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame in 2008.
Comment: Sammy was a fine player to watch, and my first favorite player (along with Schmidty). Kid could run. Kid could hit. Of course both tapered off quickly, but for a few great years, Sammy was clearly one of the leaders of the pack in Major League Baseball. He kicks off the top 30.

I was dismayed when the Phils traded away Samuel, but it turned out to be the right move.
Sammy was the first guy that I followed that had a great combination of power and speed. Ever since then I have been a fan of that type of player.
Ummm….I seem to recall one Dwight Eugene Gooden walking away with the 1984 ROY
Sammy has a place in my heart as a key player as I was growing up. Having said that, there are many that have been mentioned on this list already that I prefer to Samuel.
with every name that comes out on this list we dont need to hear that you (anyone) would have done it different…of course you would have you are a different person…these are TIM's 100 greatest phillies chosen by TIM and only TIM….mylanta
Great choice Tim!
I remember watching Juan as a kid. Great Pick! One of my all time favorite phillies!
No way should Sammy be ahead of Bowa
"They're right. I am the fastest."
Juan Samuel , if memory serves me correctly, was not an outfielder as listed when he played for the Phils. He was a second baseman. Nevertheless, he was a genuine gentleman.
Sammy is ahead of Bowa because this list does'nt respect the Phillies of the era between 76-83. If you never saw them play, you have to go by OPS+. Pete Rose and Larry Bowa's power numbers would hurt them in the eyes of by someone of this era.
I think you're right BurrGundy… Most of the time he played as a second baseman for the Phils.
Yeah, Gooden won ROY84. In hindsight I think this guy was overrated, but a great Phillie at 2B and probably deserves to be top-50 on this list.
mde77: Clearly you only comment on the site to bitch about the 100 Greatest Phillies and the supposed unfair way in which I treat the Phillies of the late '70s in early '80s.
If you don't like it, leave. Just leave. I don't need your negativity around here anymore.
Yes, I'm 24. BIG DEAL. I'm just as aware of Phillies history as you, I'm sure. I've done extensive research to compile this list. And guess what? EIGHT players from the top 40 are from that 1976-83 era you think I'm so against.
Like I said before, get a clue.
The major statistic I'm using in comparing players isn't home runs, or RBI, or average, or slugging percentage, or on-base. It's OPS+. Yes, OPS+. That statistic weighs players against the competition of their era and against their own era. So a guy playing in the dead-ball era can have the same OPS as Ryan Howard today. Here's an example:
Joe Connoly, BOS (NL), 1914: .306 AVG / 9 HR / 65 RBI … 152 OPS+
Ryan Howard, PHI, 2006: .268 AVG / 47 HR / 136 RBI … 144 OPS+
I know, it's crazy, but it's true. There are stats out there that balance the eras correctly. And I found it!
By the way, that's sarcasm.
With that in mind, Larry Bowa's OPS+ from … I don't know … 1976 to 1983:
64 / 72 / 92 / 71 / 71 / 88 / 69 / 73 (final two years with Cubs)
By the way, those numbers? Almost all of them are WELL below average. WELL below average. I'm talking Carlos Ruiz.
Juan Samuel's OPS+ in his first five seasons:
113 / 107 / 102 / 102 / 116
That's called GOOD. Something Bowa wasn't. At least offensively. And yes, I know he was a leader, and he played hard, and blah blah blah blah blah. SO DOES DAVID ECKSTEIN.
So don't tell me I'm impartial to the holy era of 1976-1983. And BY THE WAY, the Phillies of 2001-2008 haven't been so bad, either. Guess what? There are FIVE players remaining from that era. What are you gonna do about it?
You know what I think you should do? Leave.
::clap, clap::
::clap, clap, clap::
::thunderous applause::
I was at the Vet in 1989 when Samuel had his first home run as a Met. I was a few seats over and recorded the highlights when I got to my grandparents that night for them to see us standing up to watch. (Yes, I have been waiting 20 years for this to come up so thanks TIm!)
Fun fact: I remember that the last name is pronounced Sam-well. I just checked Wikipedia and found out he has a son named Samuel Samuel.
I'm ten times the ball player Juan Samuel was!
Loved sammy's inside the park at SF….just loved his speed, free-wheeling style…
I oh so wanted a team of Sammy Sandberg and Franco across the diamond…with Wil Culver and Stone, Ron Jones clubbing it…I loved those days…oh well
My favorite player growing up. Loved to see him hit a gapper and know he was trying for a triple. His skills did fade fast though. Tom: love the Ron Jones reference. He would have been a superstar if healthy…I was at Candlestick when he had two triples in one game.
i was really excited when sammy came up, he hed all the tools, legging out a triple was a thing of beauty, he had to be the closest to clemente the phils ever had. a real gentleman too.
Tim, you rock!
I love these top 100 Phillies. Since I grew up in Philly and have moved to so many places in the last 20 years, I'm used to being the only Phillies fan I know. This is the kind of reminiscence that makes this site so rewarding to visit.
I get pissed when people talk about the 80 team and then the 93 team as if there was no baseball in between.
Juan Samuel made the game fun to watch for me.
Tim, I would run through a wall for you after that post! Thank you for your use of OPS+.
Larry Bowa had 15 career home runs in 16 seasons, but "this list doesn't respect the Phillies of the era between 76-83".
OPS+ is the great equalizer (for the most part). It allows me – someone who wasn't alive for the majority of baseball's existence – to study players correctly and fairly.
Larry Bowa Says:
February 26th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
"I'm ten times the ball player Juan Samuel was!"
In response to the longest Tim Malcolm blog comment in Phillies Nation history, that was pretty funny…
In the early rounds of this list, I was one of those guys that spoke out against your selections and rankings but the list has been pretty consistent and in the end, it doesn't really matter… what matters is that we're getting to hear about all of these great figures in Phillies history. No one will remeber the order of 11-100 in any franchise… people might remember that Samuel and Bowa were both on the list but the order is not important (outside of the top 10). The part that matters is that they were on the list. It doesn't always have to be an argument…
With that being said, I still think Puddin Head should have been up here 🙂
I agree with Chuck P. I too have stated my disagreements on Tim's ranking of certain players on his list. I appreciated that Tim took the time and effort necessary to do some research on the entire history of the franchise and its' noteworthy players. We have been enlightened for that reason. And as you said, Chuck, the rankings doesn't really matters as much as the interesting bios about the players of generation pasts. Tim knows that any blogger leaves himself open for second guessing and rebuttals when doing a personal and subjective ranking of "greatest" players for a franchise. And I do think he does a very good job of stimulating and encouraging feedbacks to his blogs. After all, isn't that the purpose of a blogger?
I noticed that from Tim's comments that he seems to have a passion for the use of OPS+ in evaluating a player's worth and applying to calculations for ranking players on his list. I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about sybermetrics and it's value. But I wonder how OPS that includes SLUGGING percentage can be an deciding factor for a NON-slugger such as Larry Bowa in comparison to Juan Samuel? Just a thought.
"But I wonder how OPS that includes SLUGGING percentage can be an deciding factor for a NON-slugger such as Larry Bowa in comparison to Juan Samuel? Just a thought."
Well that's just it, Bruce. Having a higher SLUGGING percentage is better than having a lower one. Thus the much higher OPS+ for Samuel. OPS+ also takes into account on base percentage as well. Larry Bowa had a career on base percentage (OBP) of .300, which is awful.
However, my point is we are NOT comparing "sluggers" are we? That is not really fair for Bowa. With Bowa you have to look at his other attributes in his long career.
From baseball historian website:
"Larry Bowa, one of the top shortstops of all-time, retired with a handful of fielding records. The aggressive, hard-playing Bowa set since broken records for fielding percentage (.991 in 1979) and for fewest errors (nine in 1972) and retired with the best career fielding pct. by a shortstop in major league history (.980)
Bowa was selected to five All-Star teams, won Gold Gloves in 1972 and 1978, and his relentless hustling helped his teams win five divisional titles. He collected 2,191 hits in a career that spanned 16 major league seasons and ranks as one of baseball's best base runners… stealing on average better than 3 bases out of every 4 attempts. Bowa stole 20 or more in nine different years, including a career-best 39 in '74, and gathered 318 in his career."
I am old enough to watched Bowa played for his entire career. And from my perspective, he is truly one of the Phillies' all time greats and would be on just about anyone's short list of MLB's greatest shortstops in history. I like Juan Samuel (aside from atrocious record on strikeouts) and don't mind his name listed on Tim's list but NOt his ranking.
Oh I forgot to add a comment to your comparing OBP between Samuel and Bowa. If Bowa's career pct of .300 is "awful", how would you describe Samuel's career pct of .315? 😉
One other comment on Bowa's hitting; he has hit at least .280 or better for BA four times (including his career best .305 in 1975) as a Phillie. Samuel NEVER hit higher than .272 for the team.
Just thought I throw that in for good measure.
I have enjoyed this list and have no problem with where people are listed. It's opinion as much as it is OPS+ and that's all right. It has brought entertainment and discussion when we were all thirsting for more Phillies this winter. I am old enough to have seen the 60's Phils on up and it is my opinion that Bowa was indeed one of the all timers for the Phils because of his defense. That 75-83 Phillies era was phabulous with Schmidt and Carlton, the top 2 on Tim's list, leading the way. Rose was only on the Phils for a short time, as fun as that was. He is a Cincinatti (sp?) Red great. So he deserves his rating on this list IMO.
As much as I cherish that 70-80's group, I enjoy this Phillies team much more passionately. Keep writing, Tim. I tell my fellow Phillie Phanatics about this website so they can enjoy too.
As the guy who started the Sammy/Bowa mess, when you say greatest Phillie is it just as a player? As the heart and soul of a world series champion and longtime organization fixture, I just thought he would rank higher than Sammy. For that same reason, Vuke, Dallas Green and Paul Owens should be on the list.
All players. Just playing careers.
Bruce, Bowa's .300 career OBP is awful and Samuel's .315 career OBP is slightly less awful.
When it comes to hitting, Juan Samuel was better than Larry Bowa in every single statistic. Power, getting on base, extra base hits, etc. and it's not like Samuel played in the late nineties in the "juiced" era.
It goes without saying that Bowa was the superior fielder at the most important spot on the diamond.
Seriously though, 15 career homers in 16 years.
I don't dislike the guy. When a reporter told him when he was playing centerfield that he looked like Willie Mays, he said "really." And, then when the reporter said "Willie Mays is 65 years old," he just laughed. Didn't snap at the guy. So he's not a bad guy.
But lets look at the stats. His average OBP with the Phillies was .310. And, at 2nd base, he was committing an average of more than 20 errors per season. Yes, he stole a lot of bases. But that doesn't really make up for an OBP of .310 and his lack of defensive skills. He doesn't belong in the top 30 on this list and should be much lower.

Managed grazing goes by many names:
But all the terms mean basically the same thing. Pasture is divided into smaller areas or paddocks, often using portable fencing. One paddock is grazed for a short time, while the remaining paddocks rest and recover. Grazing offers a profitable and environmentally low-impact way of life.
The Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative (GLCI) focuses on providing technical assistance to help new graziers begin using rotational grazing methods. Trained grazing specialists work one-on-one with farmers developing grazing plans, including seeding recommendations, fencing and watering plans. GLCI has helped in the following ways:

If we could shrink the earth's population to village of precisely one hundred people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, the village would include . . .
60 Asians,
12 Europeans

13 Africans.
Of those one hundred people . . .
50 would be female,

I hated trading Lonnie Shelton to Seattle for C-Marvin Webster
I hated trading our best backcourt tandem "Sugar Ray Richardson & Ray Williams".
I hated trading C-Bill Cartwright to the centerless-Chicago Bulls for Oakley.
I hated trading Anthony Mason to Charlotte for a injury-prone Larry Johnson.
I hated trading Chris Childs to Toronto after the 99 Finals when "Childs/Houston/Spree" were Gellin as our "Trio" backcourt contender.
I was mad as hell at Patrick Ewing for crying like a baby to be traded.
I was mad as hell when Dolan had Camby and our first round pick (C-Nene) traded to Denver for a injury-prone Mcdyess.
I hated Layden/Isiah/Walsh
I was happy when we traded Oakley to Toronto for Marcus Camby.
I was happy when we sign a walking FA Kurt Thomas.
I was happy when we sign a walking FA Mutombo.
The Knicks in the 2012-13 season have a dominating 2-unit team .. where the Knicks 2nd-unit of "Kidd/Brewer/Novak/Kurt/and Camby" will win more games by taking each game PERSONALLY to win the Atlantic Division Title.
As for the Knicks first-unit of Felton/Smith/Melo/Amare/Tyson .. with Felton being a younger Baron Davis without Davis halfcourt creativeness need a helluva lot of work together as a "team-unit" which showed in the 2011-12 postseason where Melo & Smith average 45 shots per game together in the series.
I wonder what the cause/effect will be when a player mention the Knicks 2011-12 first-round postseason presence in the lockerroom this season .. will Amare finally hit his target or miss again??? LOL
I never liked the players we drafted in 1996. Among other drafts this one stuck out to me. Grunwald should have used these picks to trade up or add another veteran to our already solid roster.
John Wallace
Walter McCarty
Dontae Jones
I thought Mardy Collins would evolve into a really good player. *hides face*
Real Talk
My confession is i wasnt a Knick fan originally. I actually supported the Bulls.
The only games we got in Australia were Bulls games cause of Jordan obviously but i got to come to the States when i was 12 and it was right when New York and Chicago battled it out in the Eastern Conf Finals. I feel in love with the Knicks and never looked back.
I thought Maciej Lampe was the next big thing out of Europe next to Dirk.
I fell for the T'Mac hype.
Thought Sergio Rodriguez was our PG of the future.
Supported the Vince Carter to NYK movement, instead he went to the Nets.
Supported the Deron Williams to NYK movement, instead, he went to the Nets.
Wanted to kill Crawford, Curry , and Isiah all at once.
Marbury was a great thing for NYK, just surrounded by the worst group of people. He really wanted to win in NYC, just couldn't with the unhealthy environment he was surrounded with.
i thought gallo and wilson chandler were gonna be the next coming of dirk and michael finley..... i miss gallo
At one point i thought Michael Sweetney would be an 18 and 12 guy, i thought he'd stick around for a while.
And i fell for the Maciej Lampe hype as well as the Mardy Collins hype
As great as those 90's teams were on defense they were horrible on offense, tough to watch at times. I just felt like Ewing was the only consistent player on offense, and Starks was overrated. Sometimes he was a horrible shooter and turnover prone, he reminds me of Jamal Crawford but with defense.
If Stat starts f*ckin up again early this year, i want his b*tch ass outta NY
I thought Whoopie Goldberg in Eddy was sexy... O_O

|Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)
New Orleans is one of those cities that only gets better. There is no music scene more soulful. Its architecture is unique and centuries old. And there's more personality in a single block than most cities can assemble within their entire city limits. Its residents vary from white-linen-wearing gentility from the Garden District to old-school French Quarter residents, but what you'll likely find common in all New Orleans natives is an interesting storyteller, chance-taker and loyal spirit.
Get Your Fill
Like a good roux, New Orleans is rich and flavorful. Hear, firsthand, the stories of challenge and triumph from post-Katrina. Watch as shrimpers work tirelessly to preserve their livelihoods in the Gulf. Savor a beignet as you stroll through the French Quarter. Plant yourself in the Napoleon House on Chartres (pronounced charters) for people watching — or just walk. The city is like one big museum. And if you like visiting museums, there are some fabulous ones, like the Ogden Museum of Southern History or the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Café du Monde is a must. Yes it's packed with energetic tourists, but the iced coffee and beignets are totally worth it. Eat like a native at Galatoire's and experience how New Orleans spends its lunch hour (or two). Order a Sazerac (whiskey or brandy, bitters, simple syrup, absinthe and lemon twist) and crabmeat remoulade — it's OK, you're on vacation! Fill up a week or pack a weekend by indulging in the best of New Orleans fare.
New Orleans is all jazz and soul. Mardi Gras, the French Quarter, and drinks all around, this bustling city can be your next stop with Delta.
