Notes: Davies making his pitches
Notes: Davies learning the art of pitching
"You've got to have fun out there, and I'm starting to have fun," Davies said after limiting the Phillies to one earned run on three hits in six innings of a 7-4 Braves victory at Bright House Networks Field on Friday afternoon.
Counting the Minor League game he completed last week, Davies has surrendered just two earned runs over the course of his past three starts. During his past two outings, he's kept his hands below his chin during his windup and consequently found the fluidity that was lacking when he was battling his control.
"He was real good," Braves manager Bobby Cox said after watching Davies issue the Phillies just one walk. "He's so much better."
On occasion, Davies is still falling behind too many hitters. He issued a four-pitch walk to Chase Utley in the fourth inning. But two innings later, when he fell behind with a 3-0 count, he battled back and got Shane Victorino to look at a curveball for strike three.
In the past, Davies admits he might have just tried to overpower Victorino with fastballs. But as he's maturing as a pitcher, the confident 23-year-old right-hander is seemingly learning the art of pitching.
"It ultimately comes down to making pitches," Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell said. "Before, it was a struggle for him to make those pitches. Now, it's becoming a little easier for him."
Entering Spring Training, Davies was the favorite to win the final spot in the Braves' starting rotation. But that was before Lance Cormier burst on the scene. Including the six innings he completed in a Minor League game earlier this week, Cormier has worked 20 innings, allowing just two earned runs, registering 18 strikeouts and issuing just three walks.
During the 19 innings he's completed, Davies has allowed four earned runs and provided the reminder that he was once considered a can't-miss prospect.
Cox hasn't decided who he'll use in the final spot of his rotation. But Davies realizes there's a chance he'll be forced to start the year at Richmond.

"I think if I go out and pitch, wherever I'll be at is going to be better than me going home to do construction," said Davies, whose father owns a construction company in the Atlanta area. "Wherever it's at is a whole lot better than going home and digging ditches."
Gonzo on his mark: As soon as some started to wonder whether his left elbow was healthy, Mike Gonzalez turned up his adrenaline and has since looked as dominant as he did in 2006, when he converted all 24 of his save opportunities for the Pirates.
Since allowing the Cardinals three earned runs in an inning on March 16, Gonzalez has provided two scoreless appearances. His most recent came Friday, when he registered two strikeouts and allowed the Phillies just one hit.
Cox was certainly pleased with what he saw from Gonzalez. But he was just as excited about the fact that Steve Colyer managed to register three strikeouts in a scoreless eighth inning against the Phillies. The 28-year-old left-hander, who has made 54 career Major League appearances, has registered eight strikeouts and issued no walks in eight innings.
Samson's power gone: Since heeding Cox's request to cut some inches off his stringy blonde hair, Craig Wilson has gone hitless in six at-bats. The last time he was forced to cut his hair this short came last year, when he was traded to the Yankees.
"We all saw what happened there," said a smirking Wilson, who hit .212 in 104 at-bats with the Yankees.
Braves bits: Scott Thorman has been excused from each of the past three games. His pregnant wife was scheduled to be induced near Disney on Thursday. But the Braves haven't received any updates. ... Chipper Jones has doubled each of the past two days and has not been bothered by the sore right oblique muscle that sidelined him for five games. ... Mike Hampton is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Saturday. He felt no discomfort in his left elbow or left oblique during Wednesday's session.
Coming up: The Braves will play a pair of split-squad road games that start at 1:05 p.m. ET on Saturday. Tim Hudson will oppose Kenny Rogers in the game against the Tigers in Lakeland, and Buddy Carlyle will face Tom Mastny in the game against the Indians in Winter Haven.

text: It would be interesting to know how the OP made out with Remington. Our son bought a R1 just before Christmas [2012]. He has put about 1800 rounds through it already without one hickup! Hopefully that means Remington has worked out the bugs. He bought it because he liked my Remington 1911 WW1 vet. The two do feel very much alike! This thread caught my eye because I was thinking about getting one myself. So are the new guns truly fixed or did my son just get lucky? DR

As so often happens in the course of chatting with area musicians, the whole of Missoula became a welcome third party in a recent interview with singer/songwriter Amy Martin. It's inevitable. When the conversation turns to questions like "So how did you find your way to Missoula?", it's remarkably easy to imagine the community personified as a lush green mother, gathering all comers into her mossy bosom. Give her your inspired, your wanderlusting poets, your honey-piped folkies yearning to sing for their supper.
So how did Amy Martin find Missoula? Born in Iowa, educated at the Illinois Augustana, Martin spent some time in Chicago and a year traveling around South America before falling into the Garden City's green clutches on a western tour looking for "intentional communities"—as Martin herself explains, an updated way of talking about communes.
"I could just feel it," Martin explains. "I could just feel that I was being sucked into something cool. I was actually even writing songs on my way over here because I felt like I was on my way to something really good."
Missoula is often mentioned in terms of being "a launching pad" and "a good home base" for aspiring musicians, and Martin's attitude towards her adopted home town has something of both.
"I wasn't really thinking about where my talents would be better served," she ventures, "but where I'd be happy living. I lived in a big city and it was really overwhelming. What it all comes back down to is that I want to live in a place like this. Here I feel safe and can apply my craft as I choose, and I love it."
In spite of being a relative newcomer, Martin is in a good position to judge Missoula's current performing apparatus because she's played practically everywhere in town: swanky dining spots, hip rock joints and all points in between.
"I try not to have any preconception of 'who's going to like this?' when I walk into a new place," Martin says. "That's one thing I've learned: You can't put people in boxes. I know I wouldn't want to be put in some kind of box based on my appearance or anything else."
And Missoula has opened up to Amy Martin. Many of the friends she's made in the music community—among them Mike Freemole, Adam Sherba and Janet Haarvig—have contributed to her debut album, To You, due out in July. Only one of the ten songs to be included consists of just Amy and guitar. The other nine, she explains, are a taste of things to come: a bigger Amy Martin group.
"When you play solo at a cafe or coffee house, you can weave in stories and other personal things. At a bar, you want to see people out there dancing. Playing with a band keeps it fresh."
Right on, sister.
You can see Amy Martin in both settings this week. She will be playing in Missoula at the Edgewater Lounge Thursday, May 25, the Top Hat on Monday, May 29 and the Black Dog Cafe next Thursday, June 1.

Documenting your donationsWhen you give goods instead of cash, charities typically provide a receipt to help support itemized claims. But it's up to you -- not the IRS, not the charity -- to assign a precise value to your donation.Of course, the IRS has rules on how to decide what a donated item is worth: Claim its fair-market value, or what a willing buyer would pay for that item in its current shape -- not what it was worth when it was new.
When you give goods instead of cash, charities typically provide a receipt to help support itemized claims. But it's up to you -- not the IRS, not the charity -- to assign a precise value to your donation.
Of course, the IRS has rules on how to decide what a donated item is worth: Claim its fair-market value, or what a willing buyer would pay for that item in its current shape -- not what it was worth when it was new.
Accurate valuation of your donations is even more important with the law that household goods be in good or better shape in order to be deducted. Bankrate has some work sheets to help you figure the appropriate amount.
Even though you generally don't have to include substantiation of your gift giving with your return, it's a good idea to keep a record of your deductible donations. So when Goodwill asks, "Do you want a receipt?" say "Yes." If they don't offer, ask for one.
Those receipts will help you meet an IRS requirement, in effect since 2007, that requires you be able to document every gift, regardless of amount. This rule applies to donations of cash or by check, electronic funds transfers, credit card charges and payroll deductions. With these gifts, if the IRS asks, you must show an official record, such as a statement from your bank or credit card company, or a written statement from the charity showing the organization's name and the date and amount of the contribution.
Acknowledgment of your benevolence is necessary when your gifts are large. For a cash contribution (and for tax purposes, cash means actual dollars, checks or credit card payments) of $250 or more, you must get a written receipt of your donation from the qualified organization before you can claim the deduction.
And don't forget, when you donate more than $500 worth of goods to charity, you must detail your generosity and include with your tax return Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions. Take this deduction amount and forget the form, and the IRS could disallow your claim.
In an even bigger giving mood? If you claim a deduction of more than $5,000 for an item, the IRS wants more than just your word. You must have a qualified appraiser provide the value and then attach an appraisal summary (Section B of Form 8283) to your tax return.
And while Uncle Sam basically views charitable gifts as a good thing, he has his limits.
In some cases, the IRS won't let you claim all your contributions in one tax year. Generally, your donations cannot be more than 50 percent of your adjusted gross income, although in some instances the limit is 20 percent or 30 percent, depending on the type of property you donate and the type of organization to which you give.
You can carry over your excess contributions for up to five more tax years, but your carry-over amounts still will be subject to the original adjusted gross income limitation rules.
Beginning with the 2013 tax year, the tax value of charitable contributions might be limited for certain individuals. Taxpayers who make more than certain amounts must reduce their overall itemized deductions claim. This limit applies to single filers making $250,000 or more, head-of-household taxpayers earning $275,000 or more, and couples filing jointly with combined income of $300,000 or more.
More details on charitable contribution tax deductions and possible limitations are found in IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, and Publication 561, Determining the Value of Donated Property.

Hi everyone! Just joined this forum today and I wonder if anyone can help.....?
I've just purchased a laptop to run my music programs etc with a good spec and plenty of processor power. Well, everything was going smoothly until I plugged in my power supply, as my batteries were down on power - and to my horror, an awful noise (i.e. an electrical type noise) made it unbearable to continue to work.
I checked my cables, balanced, and even tried a magnetic cover for my cable from laptop, but nothing gets rid of it?
Has anyone experienced this before?
This is my first laptop, as I have just used a desktop previously, with no awful unwanted noise.
I use a Focusrite Saffire Firewire soundcard (which is fantastic) - but I know it's not related to soundcard as it happens with either Focusrite of bog standard laptop soundcard?
I'm really stuck? By the way, my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's hard to decide between Boba or Jengo, but I'm leaning tword Boba right now. Any advice I could get would help out alot. If I do go with Boba, I'm not completely sure what the differances are between his ESB and ROTJ armor, although I am aware there are differances. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting this started.

Facebook's New Photo Filters Will Compete With Instagram
Photo of the author, Jennifer Beese by Jennifer Beese on August 25, 2011
Facebook has been an online photo sharing destination for years and now plans to roll out a series of Instagram-like photo filters – that go beyond adding a black and white theme to your photos – for its mobile application. A release date has yet to be announced, but according to two Facebook engineers the filters have been ready for some time.
Many digital cameras and photo apps have included options to make your photographs black and white, sepia, or even a psychedelic rainbow medley. Photo filters have been a novelty for quite some time, but they've become extremely popular in Instagram, a free iPhone app that lets you upload a photo to your profile and enhance the image with a custom filter.
The New York Times reports that Facebook attempted to acquire Instagram recently, but that deal fell through. Neither company has commented on the acquisition attempt or Facebook's plans to release a competing software.
Currently Instagram lets you upload a photo from either your phone's library or a Facebook album. Once you've added a filter you have the option to share your photo with followers through Instagram, or you can push it out to your network on Twitter and Facebook. In addition to offering 16 custom filters, the photo app gives you the ability to like or comment on a photo that has been shared by a friend. Instagram launched in October 2010 and has since grown to more than 5 million users.
Earlier this month TechCrunch reported that programming code for the upcoming iPhone 5 showed a series of new photo filters as well. While certainly Apple and Facebook will succeed in drumming up excitement over the new feature, will it be enough to pull filter enthusiasts away from app tools that are already being used?

I've told the story about David Crockett Maples (Gatlinburg one born in 1840) taking (or as they use to say "Carry") someone across the mountains and then getting caught in a snow strom. Then, having to cut off his own legs below the knee after getting frozebite. Some folks have thought that I was pulling their legs. But, here is proof where I found a record of his pension from fighting in the Civil War. I have a picture of him in my photos with his wooden leg and feet.…Continue

The time frame from 1790 to 1830 is one of the hardest to research due to lost records (census, tax, marriage, etc) caused by early American fires to old court houses. After the War of 1812 till the market crash in the 1850's (yes, there were two crashes to the stock market) was a time in American history known as "The Time of Plenty". Just as the Battle of New Orleans was the real end to the Revolutionary War, so was that early crash the start of the Civil War. Farming was a way of life for…Continue

Joe Speed is in his seventh season at Georgia Tech where he has worked with the inside linebackers and defensive backs in the past before transition to the cornerbacks in 2016.
Last season, Speed tutored a veteran group that included D.J. White, who was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Safety Chris Milton was signed as a free agent by the Indianapolis Colts.
In 2014, Speed's defensive backs helped the Yellow Jackets' opportunistic defense produce 29 takeaways as a team, including 18 interceptions. All-ACC defensive backs White (honorable mention) and Jamal Golden (third team) led the team with four interceptions each. Tech's defense also produced a school-record six defensive touchdowns during the Jackets' 2014 Orange Bowl championship season. Three of those touchdowns came from defensive backs White, Golden and Milton. Also under Speed's watch, Isaiah Johnson set the Georgia Tech career record for tackles by a defensive back.
Speed helped the Yellow Jacket defense make remarkable strides in 2014. Tech made significant improvements statistically in rushing defense, scoring defense, total defense and third-down defense. The Jackets recorded two shutouts in one season for the first time since 1985. Despite two projected starters at safety -- Johnson and Golden -- missing most or all of the season with injuries, the Tech secondary flourished in 2013. As a senior, Jemea Thomas, who led the team in tackles (88) and pass break-ups (8), paved the way and would go on to be drafted in the sixth round by the New England Patriots in 2014.
In 2010 and 2011, Speed coached Georgia Tech's inside linebackers. Midway through the 2012 season, he moved over to coach the outside linebackers. In 2013, Speed began coaching the defensive backs.
In his first two seasons in Atlanta, Speed helped to install the 3-4 defense. In 2013, the Yellow Jackets reverted to the 4-3 under defensive coordinator Ted Roof.
Under Speed's guidance in 2012, inside linebacker Quayshawn Nealy developed into one of the top players at his position in the ACC, and redshirt freshman Jabari Hunt-Days started from day one and emerged as one of the top defensive rookies in the nation.
Former Yellow Jacket inside linebacker Julian Burnett emerged as one of the most prolific tacklers in recent Tech history. In 2011, Burnett had a team-high 120 tackles -- 42 more tackles than any player on the team. Burnett also had 9.5 tackles for loss and he forced and recovered fumbles as a junior in 2011.
The previous season, two of Speed's inside linebackers -- Burnett and senior Brad Jefferson -- ranked one-two on the team with a combined 173 tackles. Under Speed, Burnett went from a back-up in September to leading the team with 89 tackles.
Speed came to Georgia Tech from the U.S. Naval Academy, his alma mater, where he worked six seasons under head coach Paul Johnson. In his final four seasons at Navy, Speed coached the Midshipmen defensive backs and also served as head coach of the junior varsity team. Speed was part of a staff that brought the Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with a 61-29 record over his last seven years.
In 2009 Navy won 10 games (10-4) and defeated Missouri in the Texas Bowl. The Midshipmen defeated Army and Air Force to capture the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, and the Navy defense ranked 18th nationally in scoring defense, allowing less than 20 points per game.
In 2008, Speed helped first-year head coach Ken Niumatalolo to one of the most successful seasons for a first-year head coach in school history. The Mids posted an 8-5 record in 2008, which is the best mark for a first-year head coach at Navy since 1934. The eight wins qualified the Midshipmen for the EagleBank Bowl, and included a 24-17 victory over 16th-ranked Wake Forest, Navy's first win over a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 since 1985, as well as Navy's victory the previous week over Rutgers. It was the first time since 1981 that Navy beat teams currently in the BCS in back-to-back weeks. Navy also defeated a program-record four bowl teams.
The 2007 season -- Johnson's final campaign in Annapolis -- was a memorable one as well as the Midshipmen posted an 8-5 record, won a school-record fifth-consecutive Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, appeared in a school-record fifth-straight bowl game, and defeated Notre Dame for the first time since 1963. Safety Ketric Buffin became the first player in school history to intercept a pass in each of the first four games of the season.
In 2006 one of Speed's pupils, Keenan Little, became the first player in Navy history to score a defensive touchdown in both Service Academy games in the same year as Navy once again won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and participated in a bowl game.
Speed returned to the Naval Academy after a two-year hiatus at the Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, R.I., where he served as the director of athletics for two seasons and as the head football coach for one year.
Before going to the prep school, Speed had a successful military tour at the United States Naval Academy as a captain in the United States Marine Corps.
In his first stint at Navy, Speed served as the executive administrator and military liaison officer for the football team, while serving to recruit future Marine officers, as well. Speed's military duties involved the supervision of various administrative, logistical, and professional matters pertaining to the football team and the Naval Academy Athletic Association.
On the field, Speed served as the assistant linebackers coach and head junior varsity coach. He coached four seasons at Navy and in 2003, helped guide the football team to an impressive 8-5 record, which included capturing the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy and an appearance in the Houston Bowl.
A 1996 graduate of the Naval Academy, Speed was a standout on the gridiron for the Midshipmen. A four-year starter at safety, he finished his career with 260 tackles and five interceptions.
Following graduation, Speed was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps and reported to Quantico, Va., where he trained and took the Infantry Officers Course.
In September 1997, he reported to GOLF Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines in Twenty-Nine Palms, Calif., and in July of 1998, went to Okinawa, Japan, for six months, where he was involved in exercise FOAL EAGLE in Korea. After working with the Army in Fort Erwin, Calif., for a month, Speed went to Africa for three months on a security mission for the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya.
Speed, and his wife, Ingrid, reside in Atlanta.

What does a bowl of chicken tortilla soup have to do with my friend's birthday? Nothing. Except that today, I was planning on posting this picture of my chicken tortilla soup and explaining that yes, sometimes even foodie blog people have to eat the same thing twice. Sometimes more than twice, or in the case of chicken tortilla soup, usually about once a month.
But then I remembered it was Joy's birthday. And really I should post a pretty picture of flowers or something, or the hilarious picture of her at my wedding, reaching across a gaggle of unmarried woman, to snag the bouquet. But once on a course, I can not be sidetracked.
So, chicken tortilla soup picture it is.
Happy Birthday Joy!!

Jon Barker was named CEO at Omaha-based online furniture retailer Hayneedle to fill a position previously held by Doug Nielsen.
Barker most recently served as Hayneedle's president and prior to that was COO. Nielsen will remain as the company's chairman.
"We have incredible talent in our organization and Jon is an exceptional leader," Doug said. "I am truly excited to have him lead our company during our next phase of growth." Doug will continue to support Hayneedle as chairman of the board.
"As we have since our founding, we remain committed to delivering the best online shopping experience in the industry," Barker said. "And to do that, we will continue to listen to our customers and respond with products and services that fulfill their vision of home."
In his prior roles at Hayneedle, Barker led the development of a scalable platform capable of supporting billions of dollars in sales across hundreds of product categories and was instrumental in building Hayneedle's customer care center and supply chain operation.
The company was founded in 2002 and currently offers 3,000 brands and roughly two million products at its flagship Web site Hayneedle.com which it is capable of delivering to 90% of the U.S. population in two days or less.
Barker explained the company's philosophy this way: "We are determined to provide our customers an online destination where they can interact with thousands of brands and millions of products. And for those who prefer the human touch, real people at our U.S.-based customer care center are standing by to pick up the phone to support the customer during their entire shopping experience. We want to be there every step of the way, whenever our customers need us."

Fixing The Five Bad Habits of Traditional Marketing
Posted by Christopher Stutzman on November 2, 2010
- 540 Recommendations
- 3 comments
Why are some CMOs better than others at adapting to the digital era? Last week, I provided some answers when I unveiled the five habits of highly adaptive marketers at the Forrester Consumer Forum in Chicago.
After spending the past three months with more than 20 of the most successful marketing executives and thought leaders from around the world, here is what it boils down to. Marketing leaders who are successfully evolving into adaptive digital-era marketers are willing to part ways with outdated practices. That doesn't mean they have abandoned the fundamentals of traditional marketing. Rather, they have retained its best parts, while shedding its five bad habits:
- Complacency. Marketers who are complacent leave their brand exposed and vulnerable to the competition. Blockbuster ignored the road signs pointing to consumers' desires to bypass the video store in favor of more convenient formats. Meanwhile, Netflix and Redbox seized the opportunity to create new channels of distribution.
- Conformity. Marketers who play follow-the-leader lose their ability to differentiate themselves. While major airlines like Delta, United, and American have flirted with bankruptcy by providing the lowest common denominator of service, others like Southwest, JetBlue, and Virgin America are having success by straying from the norm and offering more leg room, checking luggage without charging extra fees, and providing in-flight Wi-Fi.
- Analysis paralysis. Marketers who get overwhelmed trying to measure and validate every decision often end up missing opportunities. This is especially true when it comes to social media, where McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts hesitated before engaging in it. Meanwhile, their staunchest competitor, Starbucks, dove in head first and has grown its social media presence with every success and failure to become the only brand with more than 10 million Facebook fans and more than 1 million Twitter followers.
- Hands-off management. Traditional practices of top-down management leave the brand detached and distanced from consumers. BP's command-and-control approach to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill revealed how out of touch the company's leadership was to local consumers. Meanwhile, Best Buy empowers more than 1,500 employees to be the voice and face of the brand by directly addressing customer issues through the Twelpforce.
- Silos of knowledge. Marketers who are overly reliant on silos of product specialization usually stifle creativity and collaboration. This limits the company's ability to innovate in new categories, much like Microsoft that struggles to expand its market-share leadership outside of its core business. In contrast, Google operates under a mandate of innovation across the entire company, enabling employees to spend 20% to 30% of their time on dreaming up new ideas.
How Do CMOs And Marketing Leaders Kick Their Bad Habits?
In the words of Jack Welch, "change before you have to." CMOs and marketing leaders must replace these bad habits with new habits, which I outline in my upcoming report, "Adapt or Perish: The Five Habits Of Highly Adaptive Marketers." Look for it to be published next week.
In the meantime, I'm curious to know . . . which of the bad habits is most responsible for holding back traditional marketers from evolving into adaptive digital-era marketers?

Always the Same
Comment from Bob Knorpp (not verified) on Tue, 11/02/2010 - 14:58
First, as always Chris, I'm a fan.
I'd love your take on something. I don't disagree that the bad habits you've listed hold companies back from being digitally innovative. These habits, as you point out, are the same bad habits that have always held companies back from innovation. But I do wonder, could the biggest obstacle to bringing a company into the digital space simply be lack of clear vision for what that means for their organization?
A great case in point is what's happening with social media. If you ask five of the top marketers prosecuting social efforts for their company, "What makes you a success?" you may get five completely different answers. Some may point to popularity (follows) as a metric. Some may point to coupon adoption rates. Others may point to social buzz metrics. More than likely they will answer with a blend of these or other metrics.
What I'm trying to get at is that sometimes the biggest obstacle to digital innovation is sorting out the facts from the fiction. This might have touches of "Analysis Paralysis," but I'm thinking it's more about simple confusion. Whom do I listen to? What's my objective? Whom do I task with this?
I wrote about this on my blog today in terms of drive-to-YouTube efforts. It's digitally innovative to drive folks from your TV spot to your YouTube channel for "the rest of the story." But most of these efforts simply end up driving you somewhere else once you're done with the view, thus negating the success of the effort by losing 90% or more of the audience at that point. So is it better to just jump in the space for the sake of being there and getting what value you can, or to enter slowly with more consideration and thought?
It will be interesting to see your finally report and get the full flavor of your findings. (He said with a meaningful look, hoping to get a free copy.) But I'd love any immediate thoughts here.

Excellent article, Chris, and
Comment from Paul Woolf (not verified) on Wed, 11/03/2010 - 09:12
Excellent article, Chris, and I'd put my vote for biggest culprits as both analysis paralysis and silo thinking. In my experience, complacency, especially in the current employment market, is rare - virtually all marketers acknowledge the need to improve their digital knowledge and use. But with any foray into the digital space comes an abundance of information - too much, usually, with few having the ability to sort through it to find knowledge amongst the information. Pulling true insights and understanding/acting on those insights is seriously lacking with many marketers.
Silo mentality is a hangover (and a bad one at that) from how many organizations grew up from a single product or service, then 'bolted on' additional capabilities through organic R&D or acquisition - plus the need to keep people by creating many VPs!! It would be interesting to know how much time is spent, aggregated, within a Fortune 1000 on internal silo busting, silo conciliation, etc. It's a tremendous time user - the old 'we can't act until we find out what xx is doing over in yy, let's organize a meeting to talk about it' routine.
Conformity - ick
Comment from Mike Lovas on Wed, 11/17/2010 - 12:03
Most of my firm's clients are in the financial industry. Marketing in that industry is based on conformity. It reminds me of a cartoon from the Vietnam era, "Charge, but not too hard."
I once led a workshop at the State Farm home office and had each of the 150 participants stand up and state their name and what they did. It was an invitation for them to give some kind of elevator or identity statement. 145 people said exactly the same thing!
The good news about conformity is that it open the door (wide open) for other firms who recognize the problem and take action to do something more effective.
Thanks Chris.

Why managers should cheer the new minimum wageBy
Managers should cheer a $2.10 increase in the federal minimum raise—the first jump in almost a decade. It's not just because the wage will help lift people from being among the working poor, to at least within striking distance of making ends meet. The real benefit is what it may do to those work places that rely on a constant flow of poorly paid workers.
First, it might force employers to hire fewer people but train them better, leading to greater overall productivity. Higher wages and investment are also likely to lead to happier employees, lower turnover and—ultimately—lower costs than getting labor on the cheap.
So I would brush off the fear-mongering of the National Restaurant Association, which predicts fewer jobs for entry workers because of the move. Smart employers will figure out a way to spread responsibilities and trim elsewhere to make sure that the most important assets they have—human beings—improve in value, rather the understandable instinct of underpaid workers to head for the door.

I wanted to talk to all you today about a serous topic for me. A comic book continuum. This is kind of a hot topic for me. I don't understand what is the timeline for comic books. Is there a timeline? What is going on in the mind of the creators? Let us look at a few examples: Marvel future timeline, DC comics and my idea for a comic continuum.
Marvel Future Timeline
Looking at this map I do not know what to think. This is probably just some picture with Easter eggs in it. I should not read anything into it but I will because this is my blog. All of this is heading to the Ultron war, which starts sometime this summer. I am just unsure about all of this. Let me give you an example: Spider-man. Spider-man just became Spidey-Ock(Doc Ock in Spider-man's body-CRAZY!), but when did this all happen? Did it happen in a day, over a year, what was this timeline. Spider-man is on the Avengers but is he Spidey-Ock or did the Avenger timeline happen before all of this Spider-man/Doc Ock stuff. Just give me a timeline. If the comic comes out on a Wednesday just say that everything happen in a week not just a little blurb in top corner saying "TODAY". I am glad we have some fans out there that is putting all this together. There are some timelines out but nothing to satisfy me. You have Marvel giving comic books out like the "Spider-man Saga" or "Wolverine Saga" that tell you what happened if you have not read some parts. What does standalone comics do to the continuum? Certainly, if the Avengers do something drastic, Spider-man world would see it even if it is a standalone comic. I however like the way Marvel puts the header on the cover page telling you that this is a tie in but that is where it stops. I love Marvel comics as you can see.
DC comics
I don't know. I just don't know too much about the DC comics but the New 52 is helping. Maybe someone could help me out with this one. I understand about what Pandora did by "Resetting the world" but what is Earth 2? How is that relevant to everything else? I love what the Young Justice TV and comic book is their attention to the timeline. In the Young Justice #1 we see the Terror twins, in episode 11 of the TV show we see the Terror Twins for the first time. If you just watch the show it would be fun but by reading the comic book and watching the show it would enhance your experience.
So, here is my idea for what Marvel should do about the continuum. First, you need to just put a infinity logo on all the comics in the continuum. People need to know this a point in time and to buy this comic. Second, if something effects one comic book it will effect them all. No matter if someone dies it will send ripple wave in worlds. This happens in does happen in comics it just need to taken forward for everything. If Spider-man is going after some robot in Midtown then the Avengers should see it on some screen but let Spider-man handle it. Third, put little bits of the world in each of the other worlds. What I mean, if Wolverine in the "Avengers" calls Kitty Pride in "Wolverine and the X-men" for help, you should see the phone conversation in each of the comic titles. Same lines, same dialog. Plus, you could put the more of the conversation in the of the comic books. Let say you only read the "Avengers" then you would only understand half of the conversation. By reading all the continuum comics you could see the whole picture.
So, that is all the ranting I could do in one blog. Any ideas that you would want in a comic continuum? I uploaded my first header, what do you think about it? Answer in the comments below. This is your friendly neighborhood MXAGhost writer... Signing off for now.

NVIDIA Enables New Video Processing, I/O Capability for Quadro and Tesla GPUs with OpenCL and CUDA
• Tags:
At the International Broadcasting Convention 2011NVIDIA introduced NVIDIA GPUDirect for Video. This technology enables application developers to deliver higher quality, more realistic on-air graphics -- or take faster advantage of the parallel processing power of the GPU for image processing. This is done by permitting industry-standard video I/O devices to communicate directly with NVIDIA professional Quadro and Tesla graphics processing units (GPUs) at ultra-low latency. Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems says "this will allow developers whose apps support AJA video I/O products to take better advantage of the power of NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla GPUs, resulting in low-latency access for both graphics compositing and general purpose processing using CUDA or OpenCL, with all the I/O and performance they depend on from AJA."

libCL parallel algorithm library released
• Tags:
libCL is an open-source parallel algorithm library written in C++ and OpenCL, released under the Apache 2.0 license. Based on a thin layer of wrapper classes for OpenCL and OpenGL are implementations of parallel algorithms ranging from simple primitives such as sorting, searching and algebra to complex systems of algorithms for computational research and visualization. libCL emerged out of OpenCL Studio, and as such integrates well with the development environment and its rich prototyping and visualization capabilities.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have the njea sponsered disability insurance? I was considering purchasing it but I am still unsure. Does it cover maternity leave? Can you get payments when your FILA runs out but you still want to stay out on family leave?
I have it and I used it for maternity leave. They pay 4 weeks before your due date and then 6 weeks after. My last day of school was the last day of school. My son was born exactly 4 weeks later, so I qualified for that part, and then I ended up having a c-section, so my disablity was extended to 8 weeks after his birth. So i got disability, and then I got a few paychecks from school since I used 30 sick days for part of my leave and took the rest of the time unpaid which sucked. I went back to school after christmas break, but I had stopped getting paid from school and disability by Ocotober 15th, so I went basically 3 months unpaid. Your best bet is to talk to both the insurance people and your HR person.
I apologized it this makes little or no sense, I haven't had coffee yet!
Yes sign up for it! It's so worth it. But I believe it takes 3 months to kick in so sign up ASAP because if you get pregnant during those 3 months you can't use it towards your pregnancy.
Basically I ended up getting paid $4500 from Prudential -- which was given to me while I was using my sick days from work. Then I'm using the Federal Leave - then the NJ leave (paid for 6 weeks)
Like someone said there are different choices with elimination periods --- I believe I did the middle one -- 14 days. So they deducted $45 a month based on my age and salary. If you do less, you obviously pay more.
Thanks for the info. We arent planning to TTC until summer but I want to get this settle now. I went to a Family Leave workshop yesterday and left more confused.
From what I understood from yesterday is that I am entitled to 20 sick days before and 20 after my due date. Then the FMLA/FILA kicks in for 12 weeks (FMLA) with only 6 weeks of payments (FILA). Is this correct?
So if I have the prudential can that be in place of using sick days? Or Can I use sick days for the time off before birth (I have no plans of taking the full 20 days prior off unless there are complications. I will work as close as I can till my due date) and then use the prudential for post birth? Or do I still have to take the 20/20 first, then prudential would kick in? I dont want to completely deplete my sick days if I can avoid it. I would like to have more than child and have some days left for the 2nd one.
I am confused just reading my questions. This is very overwhelming. Thanks again for your help!
My situation was different b/c I delivered in August so I used all my sick days afterwards. (September and October). I believe to reap the maximum benefits of Prudential, you have to take the 20 days before -- because that will cover your "elimination or waiting" period. It is confusing and honestly I was confused up until I got my first check.
Prudential does pay in the summer and over sick days.
Also, the FMLA is 12 weeks -- non paid. That will start after you use sick days --- Not sure if you have to use the sick days first. For me I wanted to b/c I had so many and I wanted to get the most days off.
Then the NJ Family Leave Act is 12 weeks -- the first 6 are paid.
If you want to go back sooner, you can skip the FMLA and go right to the NJ leave.
For me I did 40 sick days (as per my contract)
12 Weeks FMlA (Not paid)
6 weeks NJ (paid) I can take another 6 NJ non paid, but I am going back.
Prudential was paid to me starting in August -- I got an August and September check.
HOpe that helps.... it is confusing!!
I am feeling really dense here... I dont know why i dont understand all of this. Thanks for the patience!
Does the prudential replace the FILA payments (the $561) completely or can I recieve both? If I recieve both do they run concurrently or back to back.
For example can I use the 4 weeks from prudential before the due date, then, followed by the 20 sick post birth and then use the 6 weeks from prudential, followed by the FILA payments?
That seems like a lot that would be a total of what? 20 weeks?

Well i wasn't exactly sure where this would fit in the directory, so i guessed the Newbie section would be as good as any. Well my question is: I'm planning on putting a Carpc in my Matrix, and i'm pretty scared of theft. So if by any chance the computer gets stolen along w/ the lcd, and all the USB adapters (ex. GPS), would it be covered by my insurance (i have full coverage). I heard that whatever is bolted down is covered, but i kind of dont want to bolt down the cpu so i can take it out easily. And the lcd wont necessarily be bolted down, it would be fabricated into the dash. I also heard that taking pics of what you've done and keeping your receipts would basically cover, true? I was planning on calling the insurance company about it, but i was seeing if it can be answered here first to see if anyone has acually been in this situation, or know how all that insurance stuff works cause i really don't. Thanks for your guys' help.
No announcement yet.
Insurance N00b Question

It really depends on your insurance company. The only way to really know what they will cover is to call them and ask. If mine is attached to the car i.e. bolted down, it is covered.7" Lilli TS, Soyo K7VME, Semperon 2200, 160GB Maxtor, 512mb PC3200, Deluo GPS, Panasonic Slim DVD/CD RW, Linksys WMP545G , Opus 150w, XMDirect, XP Pro, FP, IG [XXXXXXXXX-] 90%
Wow, I didnt even think that a carputer could be covered under insuarance! Even though I live in a small town at the moment, it wouldnt be a bad idea to check this option out.Oh why do I spend so much time and money on a technology that works only half the time? Is always a work in progress? Is never complete? I wonder.
When i had a bunch of cd's stolen from my truck, my renters/homeowners insurance covered it. The auto insurance would not cover things that were not "installed" in the car. Check with your renters/homeowners policy to see if they cover stolen items from your car...~Puff

Auugust 13, 2007–Millennium has acquired the rights to make a new series of pictures based on Robert E. Howard's conqueror, Conan the Barbarian.
Paradox Entertainment prexy Fredrik Malmberg chose Millennium after extricating the rights from Warner last spring, putting them on the market with strict progress-to-production provisions in mid-June.
Malmberg will produce with Millennium's Avi Lerner, Boaz Davidson, Joe Gatta and George Furla. Millennium either will fully finance or partner with a distributor. Company aims to start production by next spring.
Malmberg declined to renew another option with Warner when the rights lapsed in spring. He was frustrated that the years of development there had not yielded a production start on the franchise that launched the film career of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The summer success of branded properties like "Spider-Man," "The Simpsons" and "Transformers" led to a receptive marketplace for Conan. The property already is a globally established brand that has 40 licenses including a top-selling Dark Horse comicbook, an upcoming vidgame for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and the Funcom/Eidos massively multiplayer online role-playing game "Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures."
Buyers were caught short by Malmberg's deal terms: He was asking $1 million for one-year option, with another $1 million for each year's renewal.
Millennium is in production with the Al Pacino-Robert De Niro film "Righteous Kill" and the Sylvester Stallonevehicle "John Rambo," but the Conan picture is the most ambitious project it has mounted.
Warner invested seven years, with top-shelf names like Larry and Andy Wachowski, John Milius (who directed the original from a script he co-wrote with Oliver Stone) and Robert Rodriguez all writing drafts. Boaz Yakin penned the last one.
Malmberg and Millennium will start over, and the new version is to be more faithful to Howard's original creation than the Schwarzenegger films.

Anyone try Jason pomade? Or have a great all natural one you can recommend? We are just now getting some heat here in Oregon, and I have never used a natural brand.
I haven't used the J/A/S/O/N pomade. I can tell you, though, that the Kinky Curly one does grain out. It's still useable, but not as pleasant to use IMO.
M.O.P. (Modern Organic Products) has a great pomade. It's called "glisten high shine pomade" You can it at Ulta, at any salons that sell the MOP line, or online.
I use Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey and I love it, but the smell is intense and may be off-putting. Also, you really only need to use the tiniest amount. I'm a 3B with moderately thick hair that is very susceptible to humidity, and lightly coating my fingers and running it through my post-shower hair is all it takes.
I haven't used it myself, but I thought that John Masters Organics also had a pomade product of some sort.

SailNet Community (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/)
- Chartering (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/chartering/)
- - Your Flotilla Charter Experience & Recommended Flotilla Charter Companies? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/chartering/50376-your-flotilla-charter-experience-recommended-flotilla-charter-companies.html)
Your Flotilla Charter Experience & Recommended Flotilla Charter Companies?
My wife and I are interested in chartering a mono as part of an organized flotilla. The SunSail company's website suggests that they put alot of effort in organizing & promoting this product. But their itineraries are somewhat limited (as we have already sailed the BVI with a captain twice.) I checked, with The Moorings and learned that since their merger with SunSail, The Mooings does not offer flotillas. (Although they used to.) We would like to take a "baby-step" with a fotilla, before moving on to an outright charter without a captain.
1. Can anyone comment on their experience with a sailing flotilla vacation?
2. Can anyone relate their flotilla experience with SunSail?
3. Can anyone suggest an alernative company that offers organized flotilla charters other than SunSail?
Flotillas seem much more popular to Europeans than to Americans. Sailing Today, a British magazine available at some newsstands in the US, has had a "Charter Holidays" insert in the January issue that lists several companies that offer flotillas. We have sailed on flotillas with The Moorings once and with Sailing Holidays three times <http://www.sailingholidays.com/>. The experiences were varied.
Are you talking about Flotilla in BVI or another location?
We are open to the BVI, anywhere in the Carribean, or USA.
I've only done "private" flotillas of various sizes with boats from several different companies. So can't comment except observations on = Sunsail Flotilla. I'm also a repeat Sunsail bareboat customer = disclosure.
After crossing wakes with Sunsail Flotillas, they appear to have their act together, Leaders seem enthusiastic and full of energy + lots of smiles. Customers seemed pleased.
You mentioned itinerary - they give you the option to wander during the day to wherever you want but like to keep track of everyone at the next anchorage. What seemed to missing or was the rub?
The best part about it is for the support @ arrival, pre-departure & during the sail. They will make darn sure everything gets taken care of and provide the "baby step" you are looking for. I would not hesitate to use them at all.
What time of year are you looking at?
We did a Sunsail Flotilla in the BVI last year at this time. I think it provides a great transition from captained to going it on your own. As mentioned above, they are not designed to be follow-the leader type sails. You are very much the captain of your own boat.
However, they provide daily briefings and most important to us help very near by. For example a problem with our dinghy engine was solved on the spot by the flotilla leader instead of us having to wait several hours for a mechanic from the base. They generally meet at a pre-determined time each evening to brief on the next day and give the anchorage for the night. If you miss it, no problem, call them on VHF and they will come to your boat and give it to you in person. You are on your own during the day to make the next passage. In fact we left our flotilla for 2 days to join another group for the run to Anegada. All seems to be acceptable as long as the flotilla leader knows where you are.
We found the recommended anchorages to be a good mix. The other boats in the flotilla provided instant friendships (much like the group seating on cruise ships to us). They are not limited to lesser experienced sailors either. One of the other boats in our flotilla had 80+ years of sailing experience on board split amongst 4 individuals. One of the couples had met when they where a flotilla captain and social hostess many years before. On our 1-week they had group dinner (optional) planned for about 3 nights.
In summary, I think the small supplemental of a flotilla is more than worth the extra attention and peace of mind.
Putting together an informal flotilla with some fun events here:
Traveltalkonline: 2nd. Annual TTOL BVI Flotilla '09!!!
Everyone charters their own boats and we had a blast year, we expect at least a dozen boats and over 200 people for the dinghy poker run!!:D
Having worked for 2 flotilla companys one being Sunsail i can say that Sunsail have a very good attitude towards customers and ensure they have a good vacation however they do have set iteneraries and wont change unless the weather demands it if you would like a more varied charter one where you may not know exactly where your going look into smaller companys i cant suggest many as i was based in the med but i do know a few friends who have worked Caribean/ BVI's so i will ask them and return with a more helpfull post
If you wish to Bareboat charter outside of a flotilla you have to be sure that you are happy with the area but more importantly the vessel type because you will get less support than you would within a flotilla also you will have to organise your own activities
Thanks for your Flotilla insight!
Your SunSail Past Experience Appreciated!
