Introvert Tip – Top 3 Innate Strengths for Public Speaking
By Patricia Weber,
Business Coach for Introverts
The recent post,
How to overcome the fear of public speaking
, had me thinking about how introverts could take advantage of who we are naturally and begin to see themselves in another light.
Public speaking for anyone in business is one of the best ways to attract clients in your community. Workshops and presentations are ways to deliver your message that reaches many people at one time. When you hone your message what you will find for example is, if you get into one Rotary, other Rotary groups will add you to their speaker of the week agenda. When I left my company "
" in 1990 I didn't realize introverts were hindered to use one of the best marketing tools available – public speaking. Hone your message to where it delivers valuable content, and then, people become interested in tracking you down to talk with them about what you really do. It's client attraction at its best.
If you want to, you can eventually be a paid speaker. But let's take public speaking for introverts and consider top three innate strengths we have for a solid foundation to make it work easily. Whether you are giving a company presentation, or delivering a sales presentation or even found yourself in the enviable position of being asked to speak in front of a professional organization. Certainly we have more strengths but let's start right here.
If you already believe introverts must be poor at public speaking because they lack the social skills, consider at least two things: first, as an introvert you already have many natural tendencies to be well-received on the platform and second, more demanding audiences today want to see evidence of this from the speakers they listen to.
1. Analytical tendencies are needed to prepare and present.
Know your audience, know your topic, be creative. Research of the audience and topic is naturally satisfying to introverts. Just as planning uses the front of the brain, introverts will find up front preparation adds to the success of a well-received presentation. When you are researching your topic, you'll also be kick starting your creativity. Relax and savor your planning tendency. Audiences love prepared speakers just as they love the people who can speak eloquently extemporaneously. You can do this!
2. Listeners want you to say something important.
Audiences don't want to hear small talk; they want to hear what is relevant for them. Yes; we might as introverts want to learn how to insert some humor, since it is something that bridges even the most serious, or dry topic, to where the listener wants to hear your message. Encourage participation to build the rapport between you and even just a few participants. And handling just those few potential difficult participants, well that is a must. But in the end, if you want a presentation score of 10 and a paycheck as a paid public speaker, our advantage of innately speaking only what is important, gets us 80% there.
3. Be the observer, not the participant.
Introverts observe and listen before commenting. Speaking in public allows you the chance to observe, listen and then make a conscious decision of how to continue or which direction to go with a well-planned presentation. Just what are you observing for? How engaged is your audience? Are they taking notes, nodding their heads, asking questions? These are behaviors easy enough to – dare I say – do at the same time as you are speaking! With your intuition highly tuned, give yourself permission to observe the reaction of the audience to know if and when to make a presentation adjustment.
These are just a few introvert natural strengths; many extroverts have to learn these very characteristics. This means we already have a solid foundation for public speaking. Do we have to learn some other pieces? Of course; but that's no different than anyone else needing to learn what they don't have.

Once I used phpBB forum, but eventually changed the engine due to the large quantity of spam user registrations.
I find Simple Machines forum http://www.simplemachines.org/ much more comfortable, convenient, customizable and spam-protected.

Sidetracks - Episode IV
Sidetracks is a collaborative project featuring various essays, videos, reviews, or other Internet content that we want to share with each other. All past and current links for the Sidetracks project can be found in our Sidetracks tag.
➝ Gender Bias at NPR: Clearly, female novelists have neither the cultural capital nor the financial capital that male novelists do. When will people face up to that? And when will it change?
➝ This article about William Mayne, children's author and sexual abuser, gave me a lot to think about. I first heard about Mayne in Alison Lurie's very interesting Don't Tell the Grown-Ups and immediately got excited about his writing. But when I looked him up online and found out about the sexual abuse, my instant thought was, "I don't want to read read him anymore". I don't know that I never will, but I think either decision is valid. I completely respect people's right to decide not to support or engage with certain artists for whatever reason, but I also think it's dangerous and simplistic to think that someone who reads Mayne is automatically aligning themselves with his criminal behaviour and with what it represents ethically.
➝ Transformation and Transcendence: The Power of Female Friendship: Articles with titles like this tend to worry me a little bit, because it's so easy for them to fall into an Abyss of Essentialist Doom and become about how women are inherently more prone to forming strong friendships (and as I've said before, the subtext is that those of us who don't do this easily at all, much like those of us who, say, don't want children, must be unnatural). To sum it up: women are not a monolithic entity, but hooray for countering the widespread women-are-backstabbing meme.
My favourite bit:
It also made me realize how much people diminish and poo-poo the real power and strength of female friendship, especially between women, which is either supposed to descend into some kind of male lesbian love scene porn fantasy or be dismissed as meaningless or be re-written as a story of competition. Here's the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, "bonus" relationships to the truly important ones.
Here at Lady Business we often have conversations about how we wished there were more stories out there that acknowledged the importance and reality of non-romantic relationships, and what I liked about this article was that it addressed that.
➝ Muslim Media Watch asks: How are Muslim Women Doing in Political Cartoons?
➝ Look, it's Hipster Avatar :D
➝ The Amelia Bloomer Project, which distinguishes "the best feminist books for young readers", has announced its list for 2012. Sigh, so many books that I want. (Via misskubelik)
➝ I hope nobody will mind it if I wrap up my section by plugging a project I helped orchestrate: The Year of Feminist Classics has announced its reading list for 2012/3. Come read books with us?
I have no substantial news to offer this week, I'm afraid. My section is all pictures of cute animals and stuff. I know, I bet you are all really sad about that.
➝ World's smallest deer is small.
➝ David Attenborough recites 'What a Wonderful World' like it is a poem, over beautiful wildlife shots. Every time this comes on TV I really stop and pay attention.
➝ When I did my zoo keeper experience they let me cuddle the tapirs for a very long time. It was totally worth the money just for that. The baby tapir in this video had yet to be born and I imagine they do not let randomers cuddle the precious, tiny tapirs, but it is soooo cute and I thought you might like to see a video.
The Biodiversity Project is a photographic attempt to encourage people to care about the extinction of species by showing just what cuties are out there right now. So many pictures! My favourite so far is of the poison frog. via CatherineHaines
➝ io9 has details of some planetary chocolates which are pretty.
➝ Claire LeGrand has a feature called The Weekly Unicorn where each week she showcases one awesome thing featuring our future benevolent overlords.
Edit - mistakenly left in comment:
It's Youtube time in my neck of the woods!
➝ Even though SOPA and PIPA were dealt a blow, it didn't stop the shutdown of Megaupload. I personally used Megaupload to host lecture recordings, and now all those recordings are just gone! Poof! Jonathan Coulton wrote an excellent post about it and piracy in general. It's great.
I believe in copyright. I benefit from it. I don't want it to go away. I love that we have laws and people to enforce them. But if I had to give up one thing, if I had to choose between copyright and the wild west, semi-lawless, innovation-fest that is the Internet? I'll take the Internet every time.
➝ In the same vein, have Gaiman on Copyright Piracy and the Web. He's very smart and very well-spoken! I particularly like this bit:
People were discovering me by being pirated. And they were going out and buying the real books. And when a new book would come out in Russia, it would sell more and more copies. [....] I tried a few experiments. And some of them were quite hard, you know, persuading my publisher, for example, to take one of my books and put it out for free. And we took American Gods, a book that was still selling, and selling very well, and for a month they put it up completely free on their website and you could read it and download it and what happened was that sales of my books through independent bookstores, because that's all we were measuring it through, went up the following month 300%.
➝ Those Pesky Dames are, as defined on their channel, Five women who can't jet around in the Mystery Machine solving ghost stories, so shout about patriarchy instead. I am bad with short video and haven't been through all their videos yet, but it looks really promising!
➝ Sherlock BBC recast as a romantic comedy. I love you, fair use! But mostly I love the fans of transformative works that risk overzealous copyright holders trying to add to their silo of millions to make cool and interesting material that makes me laugh after a terrible day.
➝ I found this music video for the song Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen the other day and was completely charmed by the romance novels (!!! hilarity) and the ending.
➝ A lovely person on my reading list is started a project and has opened a Kickstarter account to fund Plunge Magazine, which will, as stated at the link, "publish quality short stories, poems, and articles about queer women in a variety of genres from space operas to mysteries, wild west to fairy tales, superheroes to the end of the world." My first reaction is QUEER LADIES IN SPACE!!! Susan, alert!
➝ In closing, have a snoring dormouse, who I am going to spend some time imitating as I get back into a normal working schedule. Damn you, $dayjob!

I was reading about the jhanas and have a vague memory, reading that one should develop jhanas in order, such that one can remain in one fully as long as one wants, before moving onto the next. Is this true?
If so, I have to ask: Why should one ever want to move beyond the first or second jhanas? Why should the removal of bliss be a desirable mental state? If I could maintain the first and second jhanas forever and ever, I cannot think of anything else that would be worth developing or striving for.

These days, it seems very few conversations about food, urbanization, or economics do not at some stage steer towards China. As Mark Lyons, vice president of Alltech, points out, China will play a defining role in what our future will look like, thus necessitating that we understand it better.
"(Former Chinese leader) Mao Zedong said, 'You are not a man if you don't go to the Great Wall and hike it at least once in your life.' I would say you are not an entrepreneur if you don't visit China at least once in your life," Lyons said.
Lyons, who has been based in China for the past 20 months, said the growth of China is "really unfathomable."
"The pace of change is so quick. By the time I get back, I can imagine a building half constructed, a new subway being built — things are happening so fast," he said. "Even though we hear a lot about economic slowdown, seven percent growth in the second largest economy in the world is still a very considerable number," he told those attending Alltech's Global 500 event in Ireland in early October.
Will need more meat, milk
While it is estimated that 300 million more Chinese will move to cities, Lyons says it's not about urbanization, but rather this group's different habits and needs. While China will have the largest middle class in the world and will need 50 percent more meat, milk and eggs, volume will not be the only concern, but rather the type of products these increasingly selective consumers want.
"They have a penchant for imported products.
This is something that will define the next 17 years in our industry," Lyons said. "They will spend more as incomes go up."
However, China is in a position of food deficit, particularly in dairy. Currently, the country supplies 80 percent of its own milk, down from 90 percent just five years ago. Chinese dairy demand will grow faster than supply, so imports are a must, even though the government would prefer self-sufficiency.
"The previous thought was milk was for children or possibly the sick," Lyons said. "Then, the former Chinese Premier had a dream that each Chinese person could afford to buy one jin or 500 grams of milk to drink every day. This has accelerated the growth of the industry."
Another demographic to consider is China's rapidly aging population. According to Lyons, this group is healthconscious and very concerned about what they are eating.
"This is a major opportunity for the dairy industry," Lyons said. "We must consider what are the requirements of this population and how can we meet it more quickly?"
China's own dairy industry
The country is also looking beyond borders to make the Chinese dairy industry more sustainable. Imported alfalfa continues to grow; trade in dairy cow numbers is holding steady, and Chinese dairy companies Yili and Mengniu are becoming global players.
The country is also seeing a vertical integration as the Chinese government is calling for large-scale, higher-production farms. Programs have been put in place to help support alfalfa production, breeding and more than 300-head herds. Nestlé plans to build a dairy farming institute and Alltech China will be assisting with providing worldrenowned experts and nutritional technologies.
"One of our closest customers in China told us four things we must remember about doing business in China — the leader must be involved, the company must have its own technology, it has to have its own management style and culture, and it has to have the best people," Lyons concluded.

BASF on Friday invited the Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond, to officially open its newly acquired and now expanded high concentration omega-3 facility on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides, west Scotland.
€22m has been committed to this and further growth at the BASF Pharma (Callanish) site – formerly known as Equateq before BASF's May 2012 take over – that can now churn out 250 tonnes of omega-3 oils at up to 99% purity. Previous output was just 20 tonnes.
The prescription pharma space is the primary target market but at the event, Walter Dissinger, president of BASF's Nutrition and Health division, told us the German chemicals giant was also avidly exploring a "white space" that existed in high-dose supplements and OTC medicines.
"One of the major ingredients we want to grow in is omega-3, especially when we talk about highly concentrated omega-3 and trying to create new white spaces next to pharma which would be human nutrition," Dissingersaid.
"So the technology we have acquired here is the pre-requisite to get into these markets. We see omega-3 as one of the most important ingredients with high growth rates going forward especially with highly concentrated omega-3 and that's where the technology we have acquired here kicks in."
Dissinger said the facility was now the, "benchmark in separation technologies within BASF."
Hear Dissinger talk more of BASF's omega-3 pharma-nutra strategy in an exclusive podcast on InPharmaTechnologist and NutraIngredients in coming days.

Visit our Bread Recipes page for more wonderful homemade bread recipes!
Update: The Pick Giveaway Winner plugin chose Jana as the winner of our Folgers Holiday Exclusive Gift Pack. Congratulations, Jana! Check your email!
A couple months ago, I hauled out of bed on a Saturday morning, pulled back my hair and put on my face, put some clothes on that I hoped were cute (who can tell anymore? I'm so out of touch!) and hopped in the car for an hour and a half drive. It was snowing, it was cold, it was a good day to stay home. So why did I go anywhere?
Because in a warm building at the Genesee Country Village and Museum an hour and a half away, there was a King Arthur Flour baking demonstration that was open to the community. I was going to this on a dreary day because I am utterly and completely devoted to King Arthur Flour. I buy it by the fifty pound bag from my Amish friends. As in, multiple fifty pound bags: one of all-purpose, one of high-gluten, and one of white wheat. Yes. I use that much flour. I'm King Arthur Flour's biggest fan in a non-creepy, not-Kathy-Bates-in-Misery kind of way.
I'd never been to one of their demonstrations, not for lack of desire, but because I lived too far from their baking center. When I learned that there was a local-ish one I could attend, I hopped on it! I really didn't know what to expect other than the topic was going to be pie crusts, scones and biscuits.
**insert drooling and panting here**
I can't help myself when it comes to pie crusts, scones and biscuits. They are the holy trinity of me losing what's left of my pea-sized mind while inhaling food in a frenzy of crumbs, eye-rolling and happy noises. It's not pretty to watch. Pies, scones and biscuits. I am powerless over you.
Pie crusts, scones and biscuits have more commonality than the equally abysmal self control I exhibit around all three; they're pretty much made the same way. I hate to admit that with all my baking experience, I had never really thought of that. God bless Irene -King Arthur Flour Baking Expert Extraordinaire!- who made the connection crystal clear. To super simplify the whole process, it is essentially dry things whisked together, cold fat cut into it, and wet stuff tossed in until it is clumpy. Irene shared a tip with me that I'd never heard before and it totally re-invigorated my pie crust/scone/biscuit making. She said to work the fat into the dry ingredients in two separate additions. *FACEPALM* Seriously. Why? Because this ensures both that you have fat worked through which gives it tenderness and larger bits of butter/shortening/lard that gives you flakiness. If you work it in all at once, you won't be able to achieve that highly sought after flaky/tender combo. I love Irene.*
*Besides, any woman who can stand in front of a room filled with two hundred strangers and ask in response to an audience question -with a straight face and angelic tone of voice- whether someone's pie bird 'pukes up pie filling' when it bakes has my loyalty forever.
She turned out the most gorgiferous apple pie and then moved onto scones where she casually said something that pretty much rocked my universe, even more than the 'these three things are pretty much the same' revelation. She suggested making and forming scone dough ahead of time and flash freezing them (laying the scones on a parchment lined pan to freeze solid before wrapping and transferring them to a freezer bag) and baking them off on Christmas morning. Good golly. I'd done this for years with biscuits, why oh WHY had I not translated this to scones?
I had visions of popping frozen scones on a pan and into a pre-heated oven*, sitting in my easy chair in my flannel jammies on Christmas morning while the kids opened presents, and standing up only when I hear the timer just in time to pull a tray of steaming hot, tender, bacon and scallion flecked scones from the oven. The fantasy goes on to being able to start our Christmas feast in a spotlessly clean kitchen later in the day because all I had to do was crumble the parchment and rinse the pan on which the scones baked.
*Yes, even in my fantasies, I pre-heat my oven.
Irene, we will be singing your praises with mouths full of tender flaky scones Christmas morning. Thank you!
Freeze and Bake Bacon Cheddar Scallion Scones | {GIVEAWAY} and Make Ahead Mondays
- 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 pound 1 ounce, by weight, preferably King Arthur all-purpose or Galahad flour.
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 cups finely diced Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup finely minced scallion tops green onions
- 1 pound of bacon cooked 'til crispy, then cooled and crumbled or chopped
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream or half and half plus 1/4 cup plus more, if needed, to make a cohesive dough.
For Baking:
- Additional cream for brushing prior to baking
Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add about 1/2 of the cubed butter and work in with a fork, two knives, a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles lentils. Add the remaining butter and work in, leaving some slightly larger pea sized -or even larger- flakes of butter.
Add the cheese, bacon and scallion tops and toss through gently until evenly distributed, taking care not to mash it in. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cream, sprinkling it over the top, then tossing to combine. Pick up a small amount of the mixture and try squeezing it gently together. If it crumbles, or if there are dry crumbs in the bottom of the bowl, add more cream -1 tablespoon at a time- until you have a mixture that holds together as a shaggy dough when squeezed gently. Use a bench scraper or spatula to gently fold the dough in on itself until it forms a shaggy mass you can turn out onto a very lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough in half and gently pat out the dough into two 7-8 inch discs that are about 3/4 of an inch thick. Carefully transfer the discs to a parchment lined baking sheet. Use a bench knife or Chef's knife to cut each disc into 8 wedges, cutting straight down and not sawing back and forth to help it rise higher in the oven. Gently separate the wedges so there is a little space between them.
Place the pan directly into the freezer. When the scones are frozen solid, individually wrap each of them tightly with plastic wrap then add to a resealable freezer bag. Keep frozen for up to three months.
Ready to Bake?
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Remove desired number of scones from the freezer, unwrap and arrange with some space between them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with heavy cream and bake for 45 minutes or until browned and puffy.
Recipe NotesDon't be afraid to add more heavy cream (or LESS for that matter) than specified in the recipe. Irene from King Arthur Flour suggests that you should use visual cues to determine how much or little to add. Start at the lower end of the recommended amount and watch how the dough behaves. If there are large amounts clumping together and little pockets of dry-ish crumbly bits, move the large clumps to the side and sprinkle just a little cream over the crumbly bits until they behave like the clumps. It takes patience, but the end result is so worth it!

My book club met last night to discuss The Elegance of the Hedgehog and we were down at least one member -- as Jennifer Hersey, who edited Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin, was in the city at the National Book Awards where McCann's book won the award for the best book of fiction! We are all feeling very proud of Jennifer today and can't wait to read the book in our group! Here's the description of the book from the Random House website:
In the dawning light of a late-summer morning, the people of lower Manhattan stand hushed, staring up in disbelief at the Twin Towers. It is August 1974, and a mysterious tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the towers, suspended a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in bestselling novelist Colum McCann's stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people.
Let the Great World Spin is the critically acclaimed author's most ambitious novel yet: a dazzlingly rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s.
Corrigan, a radical young Irish monk, struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gather in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. Tillie, a thirty-eight-year-old grandmother, turns tricks alongside her teenage daughter, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own worth.
Elegantly weaving together these and other seemingly disparate lives, McCann's powerful allegory comes alive in the unforgettable voices of the city's people, unexpectedly drawn together by hope, beauty, and the "artistic crime of the century." A sweeping and radical social novel, Let the Great World Spin captures the spirit of America in a time of transition, extraordinary promise, and, in hindsight, heartbreaking innocence. Hailed as a "fiercely original talent" (San Francisco Chronicle), award-winning novelist McCann has delivered a triumphantly American masterpiece that awakens in us a sense of what the novel can achieve, confront, and even heal.

Nevertheless, the stress of constant and infinite connectivity — we're all RAM and no hard drive, all present and no history, all one-liners and no reflection — will continue to have consequences.
"Our daily schedule, dividing work time from time off, is discarded. Rather we are always on," writes Douglas Rushkoff in "Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now" (Current), an attempt to grapple with our current predicament. "Our boss isn't the guy in the corner office but a PDA in our pocket. Our taskmaster is depersonalized and internalized — and even more rigorous than the union busters of yesterday. There is no safe time."
Some consequences of this permanent state of being plugged in seem bizarre: Take the drop in gum and magazine sales. Consumers waiting in line at the grocery store are ignoring the tempting racks of impulse buys that are meant to attract them while they wait. Instead, they're checking their smartphones. Gum sales fell 5% last year. Newsstand magazine sales, which were hurt by the recession, looked like they were coming back but plummeted another 12% in just the second half of last year. Magazine companies are scrambling to find other places in the store to sell their wares. One retail analyst calls smartphones "mobile blinders."

New York -- A Tuesday report by Bloomberg said that J.C. Penney has an additional plan to raise money; the retailer is said to be considering a spinoff of its real-estate holdings into a new unit that could issue debt.
Citing two unidentified sources, Bloomberg said Penney is also considering selling its real estate and then leasing it back as another avenue to free up money. And other assets, such as inventory, could be collateralized.
The sources said the company, which has not commented on the report, is undecided about which route or routes to take. Penney is trying to raise at least $1 billion.

Uggla's homers, late slam erase Minor damage
Second baseman goes deep twice, earning win for strong lefty in finale
CINCINNATI -- The Braves brought their power stroke to Great American Ball Park on Wednesday, getting two home runs from Dan Uggla and a grand slam from Juan Francisco to beat the Reds, 7-2, and win the rubber match of a three-game series.
"It was a good win after what happened last night," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said, referencing Craig Kimbrel's blown save. "Good resiliency from our club to come back out and get a win."
Both of Uggla's homers were solo shots off of Reds starter Mike Leake. The first long ball, which came in the fourth inning, traveled 392 feet and tied the game at 1. Uggla went yard again in his next at-bat in the sixth, sending a 3-2 pitch 343 feet over the left-field fence.
It was the seventh homer of the year and the 17th career multihomer game for Uggla, who has now hit safely in six straight games, during which he is 9-for-24 (.375) with three home runs and two triples.
"It's still a work in progress, but I'm definitely going in the right direction," said Uggla, who raised his average to .209. "I just feel more and more comfortable each time up."
Francisco's eighth-inning grand slam off of J.J. Hoover turned a tight 3-1 game into a 7-1 blowout. Jay Bruce homered in the ninth to bring the Reds a run closer.
"Juan's got some juice," Gonzalez said. "He got a pitch out over the plate with the bases loaded, and it was good to see."
That was more than enough offense for Braves starter Mike Minor, who was stellar throughout. He allowed one run on four hits in seven innings. He walked three and struck out seven, throwing a season-high 117 pitches. His previous high was 102, which he threw in a 4-3 win against the Rockies on April 23.
Minor avoided major disaster in the second inning. He allowed the first three hitters to reach base, two via walk, but escaped the inning unscathed. Left fielder Evan Gattis threw a rocket to home plate to nab Brandon Phillips, who was trying to score on a sacrifice fly.
"I was kind of surprised he went," Gattis said. "The ball kind of brought me in. I'm just glad I made the throw. At the time, it was kind of big."
Minor then induced a groundout from Devin Mesoraco to retire the side.
"I was thinking, 'They're going to at least get one or two [runs] here, but let's try to limit the damage,'" Minor said. "But I got the double play with Gattis. It was huge, a big relief. And the next guy I just had to go after."
Leake did the same the next inning. The Braves loaded the bases with one out, but Freddie Freeman grounded into a 4-6-3 double play.
Leake entered the game 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three career meetings against the Braves. He struggled Wednesday against the top of the order, as Jordan Schafer and Andrelton Simmons combined to go 7-for-10. Schafer had two singles and a stand-up triple, while Simmons had three singles -- all to left field -- and a double.
The only other Brave to get a hit off of Leake was Uggla, who finished 2-for-4.
Reds shortstop Zack Cozart started the scoring with a two-out home run to left in the third inning. It was the fifth homer Minor has allowed in his past three starts -- this after allowing just one long ball in his first four outings.
Minor, however, kept his poise. He allowed Donald Lutz and Mesoraco to reach base with two out in the seventh, but got Leake to fly out to end the threat.
"It's one of those situations where you're supposed to get the pitcher out, but he's a good-hitting pitcher, so you don't want to leave anything over the plate," Minor said. "I was surprised [they let him hit]. We thought maybe they were trying to do something, but they left him in. That's how much confidence they have in him hitting."
Leake allowed four runs on eight hits in seven-plus innings of work.
Freeman added an insurance run with an RBI single in the eighth before Francisco blew the game open.
Any chance of a Reds comeback almost disappeared.
"Those ones like last night are going to happen," Uggla said. "Today was a lot less stressful."

There are no women in Azeda Booth. If you're reading this before you've played their debut album In Flesh Tones, you're probably puzzled. Press play and come back. The band shares the same sublime androgynously-voiced space as Antony and the Johnstons, jazz great Little Jimmy Scott and Philly-soul angels the Stylistics. Musically, there are only sightlines, no touchstones. They twist and flutter, too skittish for space rock, too hot for IDM, too concise and charming for glitch-core. The Calgary, Alberta band conjure up the sound of human travel. The arrivals and departures are hazy and blurred, the tone both tense and delicate, the fuel potent and clean, the direction most definitely UP. In Flesh Tones, Azeda Booth's debut full length is a benchmark album, a thing of dazzling beauty and fragile inspiration. It's not so much a bomb in the mineshaft as it is an incandescent dove illuminating the way out.
Formed in the summer months of 2004, the group was originally comprised of only two members (Morgan Greenwood & Jordon Hossack). The band remained a duo until the fall of 2006, when four other like minded musical outcasts of the Calgary scene (Myke Atkinson, Chris Reimer, Marc Rimmer & Mike Wallace) joined to release Azeda Booth's debut full length, In Flesh Tones. Recorded with the same "musical chairs-esque" enthusiasm as featured in their live shows, In Flesh Tones is inspired and simple in its celebration of sound and movement. In late 2008 Azeda Booth slimmed down to their current incarnation of Morgan Greenwood, Jordon Hossack and Marc Rimmer and released the free downloadable EP Tubtrek. Tubtrek is Azeda Booth's first new recorded material as a solid three piece and is also the band's first recording with more than only Jordan Hossack singing. Tubtrek includes four new tracks and four remixes from their debut album In Flesh Tones .
Always changing and growing, Azeda Booth's live show is as much about exploring the facets of the energy shared by audience and artist as it is about creating a memorable musical experience. In Flesh Tones came out on July 22, 2008 on Absolutely Kosher Records.

|Additional Information
|Laptop Required
Students need to bring a properly configured laptop to class EVERY DAY. Throughout the course we will be using a number of different VMware images that will be provided to students on a USB drive (which is yours to keep after the class is over). So it is important that the laptop you bring to class will let you read USB devices, and have enough disk space, CPU power, and memory to unpack the VMware images and run them.
You can use any 64-bit version of Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux as your core operating system that also can install and run VMware virtualization products. It is critical that your CPU and operating system support 64-bit so that our 64-bit guest virtual machine will run on your laptop. VMware provides a free tool for Windows and Linux that will detect whether or not your host supports 64-bit guest virtual machines. For further troubleshooting, this article also provides good instructions for Windows users to determine more about the CPU and OS capabilities.
We recommend the following minimum hardware:
Operating System
Since we will be using VMware, you do not have to have Unix/Linux installed natively on your laptop (though you are welcome to do so if you like). Whatever operating system you choose, it is your responsibility to ensure that VMware is installed and working BEFORE arriving in class.
VMware Product Choice
The VMware images provided in class should work with the VMware Workstation Player (free from the VMware site) or Server products, as well as VMware Workstation. Students have also used VMware Fusion on MacOS successfully.
Anything Can Happen: Be Prepared
It is your responsibility to fully back up your system prior to class.
If you have additional questions about the laptop specifications, please contact email@example.com.
|Who Should Attend
Students must possess at least a working knowledge of Unix. Most students who attend this course have a minimum of 3-5 years of Unix system administration experience.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is calling for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to write detailed auto lending rules in an effort to have a "cleaner road map" for making car loans. The CFPB had warned a year ago that it was probing auto-lending practices for discrimination against minorities and women; however, the new federal agency has said it doesn't need to wire rules because current existing anti-discrimination laws are sufficient.
Autonews.com reports that in a letter last week to CFPB Director Richard Cordray, the Chamber called for the CFPB to provide auto lenders with specific rules for loans arranged at dealerships instead of forcing companies to interpret and apply guidelines tailored for individual lenders as part of "one-off" enforcement actions.
"When the CFPB uses enforcement actions to send a signal to the broader regulated community, the message doesn't always get through in a way that's useful for a person sitting at a compliance desk," Jess Sharp, managing director of the U.S. Chamber's Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness, told Automotive News.
"If the bureau identifies areas in which it wants to fundamentally alter the rules, it should take the time to write new standards rather than rely on one-off enforcement and news release 'warnings' to other regulated companies," the Chamber said.
According to the Wall Street Journal, about 80 percent of car buyers who take out auto loans do so at the time of sale through dealer-affiliated lenders. The nation's 16,000 auto dealers are able to tack on extra interest-rate charges as compensation for setting up financing for consumers and selling loans to banks.
The CFPB has said it would pursue legal cases when it finds evidence of discrimination. Auto dealers and lenders have pushed back against the suggestion the industry is engaged in widespread lending discrimination.

text: eSight Debuts 'Intelligent Eyewear' for Low Vision Patients By Eye² Staff Wednesday, January 23, 2013 2:03 AM eSight, a Canadian company based in Ottawa, Ontario, is launching what it calls "a new class of wearable, electronic assistive technology designed specifically for low vision." eSight Eyewear modifies whatever the wearer is looking at to maximize the effectiveness of their remaining eyesight, according to the company. eSight Eyewear incorporates a high-resolution video camera and a bright, high-contrast, "virtual" display for each eye. By enhancing the image that the eyes see, eSight Eyewear can help to improve the wearer's functional vision, the company said. Working with a vision specialist, patients can choose the video processing algorithms that work best for them, including zoom in/out, contrast and color optimization, edge enhancement and brightness control. "After years of development, it is very exciting to be able to bring eSight Eyewear to people with low vision and legal blindness," Kevin Rankin, president and CEO of eSight Corp., told Eye2. "We have witnessed how eSight Eyewear has helped individuals to read, to see faces of loved ones, to engage more fully in their surroundings at home and at work and we now look forward to making our product available more broadly in 2013." eSight glasses may be helpful for people with Macular Degeneration, Stargardt's Disease, Ocular Albinism, Diabetic Retinopathy, Leber's Disease, some forms of Retinitis Pigmentosa, Glaucoma, Cone-Rod Dystrophy and other low vision conditions, according to eSight. The eyewear is most effective for those with acuity between 20:60 and 20:400, whose field of view is greater than 15 degrees, the company said. eSight Eyewear includes the patient's prescription lenses and is custom fit for maximum comfort. The glasses run on rechargeable batteries that last about four hours. Like a cell phone, the battery is charged by plugging in the eSight Eyewear overnight. Wearers can charge the glasses while using them. eSight glasses are currently available at low vision clinics in Toronto, Halifax, Montreal and Ottawa. They can be purchased with a $1,450 down payment and less than $300 per month (based on three-year financing), according to eSight. Financing options are available in both the U.S. and Canada. eSight offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Young Justice toys cancelled, but the superhero show goes on...
Recent word that Mattel's Young Justice toy line (in both scales) had been cancelled has created a sense of panic with DC fans fearing that all is not well with their beloved superheroes in the toy aisle. Mattel attempts to ease the concerns of collectors with the following statement, saying that while it is unfortunate that Young Justice is ending, that there is still plenty to be optimistic about.
Source: MattyCollector on FacebookToy Fans,
You may have heard that the time is nearing for the end of the Young Justice toy line. While we're as bummed as you are, we want to be sure you know this doesn't in any way mean the end of DC toys from Mattel. In fact, its quite the opposite!
Next month kicks off not one, but two new lines: our DC Universe Club Infinite Earths subscription service dedicated to true collector characters you won't find at retail. The first shipment goes out in May and features an all-new 6" Golden Age The Flash figure. If you missed out on this awesome subscription, a limited quantity will also be available at MattyCollector.com on May 15th at 9am PT. Then, in late May, head to your local retailer and you'll find The Dark Knight Rises, a kid-targeted Batman line. And for 2013, we're planning an innovative collector-aimed line coming to retail stores.
We'll have more details as they're available. Our partnership with DC is stronger than ever and we couldn't be more excited for all the amazing new collector and kid toys to come!

I'm not a chopper (if there chopped, they'll re-appear) but was outraged when I showed up to climb the "cave route." The climb is "sporty" and difficult to place gear on (gear was the "crux") but the bolts seem to be poorly placed. The 2nd bolt, (the one that is a foot to the side of the #1 TCU and #5 stopper, just before the crux) is for some reason stuck in a dish instead of on the nice smooth face. Also, I think it is a bit irresponsible to not bolt the top. I would prefer if the bolts never showed up, but it would be worse if some bumblie took a ground fall near the chains and the area received access problems.

There are several versions of this route, all really good. 1. The regular. Up the arête, then up a short finger crack with jugs. A step right to a ramp/foothold. Then a layback up and left to easier ground. Then up the juggy dihedral left again, under the bolts on top. This is about 5.10. 2. Start five feet left, up a crack to the overhang. Then go straight over the steep bulge just left of the crack. Easier to start, but a long reach at the overhang, as I recall. 5.10/5.10+.3. Start on the right of the cave. Swing out left along a steep rail which joins the regular route at the rest. This is a tad harder, and for sure more hairy. 5.10+.4. Start in the back of the cave, and climb steeply out to a jug at the lip, just right of the semi-rest ramp. Good knee bar somewhere. This is a tad harder again, plus (with a toprope) a fall from the starting moves would involve a big nasty swing out to the boulders. Exciting! 5.11-.
Any which way, this is a fun juggy route. A favorite.
It upset me to come here after a couple years off and see the vandalism. Nautilus was established decades ago, and has been soloed and toproped hundreds of times. The bolts may not get in the way of the (easy) gear placements, but they do screw up the enjoyment I have always gotten from swinging around on this great little route over the last twenty years.

I wish I had known that the bolts ran out. I guess it's just a good example of "Look before you leap," because my girlfriend and I definitely went up there with just some quickdraws and a short rope as an afterthought one day. As it turns out the climbing from the third bolt to the chains is pretty mellow, but I was definitely into groundfall territory by the time I reached the top. A few small finger sized cams would've got it done.
Then again, the route is already bolted, and more to the point, it has the appearance, standing beneath it, of a route that will be bolted to the top. I don't think one pussy bolt in the top 20 ft would be inappropriate.

|Stellar, I think the bolts are placed perfectly, (the first one seems high, but it is no higher than many of the boulder problems here.) If you go sport style, make sure to bring a good head because after the last bolt the runout is long enough to warrant the R rating in my opinon, (although the terrain is 5.7-ish after the last bolt.) Pumpy and fun and a great warm-up for the other magnificent bolted line here 'Price For Fire'. I don't see where you need to make this dynamic, it is quite eaisly done static the whole way, still being a 10a. Get on it!!

Great route, and echoing what others have said - I feel like it's more of a 9+ than a 10-. Maybe deserves the 10- because of the high placement of the 1st bolt and / or the runout at the top, but (again) like others have said - that runout is protectable with a nut.
Also - climbed this during the summer months, and there was some *extreme* BUG activity going on around the last bolt. Around the ledge if I remember correctly - threw my hand up there, only to grab nothing but BUG - no rock. Well, rock underneath the BUG, but definitely had to sweep them away. Kinda felt like that Indiana Jones movie. Anyways - not sure if those guys are a seasonal issue or what - but just a heads-up.

I'd be wary of sending a budding 5.10 leader up there. I think that if you toprope this thing to death and rehearse the moves before giving it a go on lead, you might come out with 10b. Onsight, with strenuous placements and numerous possibilities for sequences, deciphering the "right" way to climb this thing is pretty hard. I think 10d is more reasonable onsight rating.
The bolts are well-placed and protect the crux of the climb adequately. I found 3 blue Metolius or green Alien placements. A couple of small nuts are also nice to have. The top section probably goes at hard 8, and there will be groundfall/ledgefall potential at the chains if you do not supplement the bolts.
There were no insects on the route in May 2012.

|Great route, Ken. Fun, pumpy bugger with great hands but some slippery feet.

|The footholds have definitely become very polished over the last few years. My feet slipped at around the first bolt, leaving me hanging by my hands a la Wil E. Coyote (sp?), giving me a nice gash in my index finger that took some direct pressure to stop!

Route 35 Construction Means No Normal Summer For Drivers
Construction on the 12.5 mile stretch of Route 35 through Ocean County will be done with every effort to not inconvenience drivers too much. But Joe Dee, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Transportation reminds drivers this won't be a "normal summer."
The $125 million federal project will take six years, and be broken into three separate projects, the first of which will be started in the northern section in Bay Head and Mantoloking around this summer.
Dee says while some parts of the twelve and half mile stretch from Point Pleasant Beach to Seaside Park didn't suffer major damage, other parts were devastated-specifically the Barnegat Peninsula from Seaside Heights to Bay Head.
While the road through Mantoloking is single lane, Dee says further south it splits into a two lane highway which allows them to accommodate traffic.
"We've designed this project so we don't push traffic onto local roads. What we will be doing is carrying out the construction activity in small segments along that 3.5 mile stretch of Route 35 in Mantoloking and Bay Head."
The reason for the small sections of construction, which will be anywhere from a quarter to half a mile, is so they can institute alternating traffic patterns at the construction areas.
"That's when you have a flag man or woman standing in the road with a stop and a go sign letting traffic flow on one direction and then stopping it to let traffic flow in the other direction."
Dee says visitors should expect more construction activity throughout that area in general as people rebuild their homes. The DOT's project will involve replacing the damaged storm water drainage system under the roadway and fortifying the road with a stable stone base.

I have beloved memories from my childhood years in Podhajce, especially from the long walks with my parents in the areas outside of the city, to the hill, to Siolko, to Zahajce or to the train station. During those walks, my revered father took the opportunity to discuss with me lectures from the synagogue, as well as issues of general education.,
Today, when I think about Podhajce, the thoughts are filled with sorrow. When I recall the souls of my kin who were murdered there, the city as I saw it for the final time before the outbreak of the Second World War stands before my eyes. This was a city with Jews, exotic orthodox ones as well as non-observant, rich and poor people a city in which Jews lived and flourished for hundreds of years.
Aside from the city, the Podhajce area includes three towns, Zlotniki, Winiowczyk, and Zawalow, and approximately 70 villages. The Jews were a small minority among the Poles and Ukrainians in the region. However, the city itself was mainly Jewish. Thanks to their astuteness, the Jews took the first place in all economic endeavors.
For example, there were only 3 gentiles from among the 20 lawyers. I believe that all of our natives still remember the eldest lawyer in the city Dr. Finkel, as well as the lawyers Nutik, Pel, Gross, Salpeter, Ratner, Rotenberg, Kestenblatt, Falver, Pomeranz, Bin, Greenberg, Marbach, Abend, Rauch, Horowitz and Fein, along with their wives. The younger generation of lawyers included Lilienfeld, the Gand brothers and Sher. The lawyer Leon Pomeranz should also be noted. He died a few years before the war. He was well-known among the Jews and Poles. He was vice mayor for a few years after the First World War. A large number of lawyers left Podhajce and settled in other cities, including Binyamin Pomeranz, Yaakov Wolf, Rudolf Rusmak, and the lawyers Margolis, Messer, Milch and Goldschlag.
There were a total of two gentile doctors. The Jewish doctors included the eldest, Dr. Landau, as well as Drs. Kornowicz, Reichman, Dik, Falver, Neuman, Silberman, Heller, and three women: Roth, Aszenfeld, and Bider (in Zlotniki). From among the younger doctors, Drs. Milch, Weinles and Heller should be mentioned.
The pharmacies were completely in Jewish hands, and only Jews worked in them: Eker, Goldschlag, Nussbaum, Weintraub, Bezen, Margolis and Balin (in Zlotniki). The younger practitioners of this profession included three young women: Ornstein, Falver and Salpeter.
There was no shortage of Jews in the courthouse and other regional offices. The Jewish magistrate Dr. Aszenfeld always found the need to highlight his Judaism. A few officials remained in the courthouse from the Austrian era, including Gang, Lilla, Postel, Melcer, and Zomerstein, who died before the war. Rusmak worked in the tax office. Falver, Mrs. Alter and the mailman Zin worked in the post office. Isidor Rozmarin and later his son Tadeusz Rozmarin worked in the city administration.
There were two engineers in the city who worked in surveying: Hirschberg and Lilla, who died before the war.
The director of the insurance office was Tovia Ratner until almost the last years. He employed Jewish officers and doctors.
Despite the fact that was no gymnasium in Podhajce, a large number of Podhajce youth graduated with a Ph.D.: Welger, Trajaner, Poliszuk, Friedberg and Kestenblatt. The youngest of this group were three women: Falver, Zeidler, Salpeter and Heller.

A gala evening of the local intelligentsia
Most of the participants were Jews
Jews directed very little energy to agriculture, but in proportion to their numbers, this was no small percentage. From among the largest landowners, we must include: Julius Rotenberg from Belokrinitsa, Alfred Somerstein from Burkanow, Gelber (Gelewski) from Shumlyany, Dr. Slomnicki from Bozhikowa, Adler from Szweykow, Roth from Malowud, Silberman and Zimmer from Zatuzhyn, Dolberg from Tustowawy, Blaustein and Shmirer from Kotuzowa, Mehr and Ales from Wolica, Zusman Kahn from Poplawa, Engineer Kogan from Zastowcza, Dr. Landau from Tarasowka, Leon and Eli Kohn from Buda and Michael Kohn from Sianokoski.
In truth, several of the aforementioned landowners strayed from the path of Judaism and became apostates. However, at the time of the murder of Jews, this did not help them, and they were murdered along with the rest: such as, for example, Somerstein, Gelewski and Dr. Slomincki. Aside from the landowners, there was also a large number of land lessees. Many Jewish managers and economists worked also for Jewish landowners.
Many Jews were also employed in the agricultural industry, such as owners and lessees of mills and mines from Jewish and gentile landowners. I only remember a few of these: the Lilienfelds, Avraham Milch and Shimon Wassermil.
Podhajce also had a large mill, a sawmill and an electric generator. The mill and the sawmill were owned by the brothers Oscar and Yaakov Haber. The electric generator was established and run by Engineer Roth in partnership with the Habers. The Habers also owned the concession for chopping the large and ancient forest in Solewa. They cut the wood in their sawmill and then exported it.
Connected to agriculture was also the exploitation of the three ponds in the Podhajce region. One of them belonged to the Habers. The other two belonged to the landowners in Nowosiulka and Zahajce. Jews worked for them.
The grain business was completely in Jewish hands. Grain exporters included Zusman Kohn, Michael Kohn, Shmuel and Mendel Fiszer and Rachmiel Hessel. Henryk Rozmarin was known as a middleman in the grain business. Yaakov and Yosef Werfel and Fishel Milch (died before the war) were involved with land partitioning, and the farmers had complete trust in them.
Some Jews also did business with building materials, particularly with wood, and had large storehouses: Moshe-Baruch Bezen, Dr. Gross, Leon Kohn and Kune Hochman, Hirsch Leib Horowitz and Don Horowitz, and primarily the Habers. Involved in the production of bricks were
[Page 167]
Abba Fisz and Yisrael Silber, as well as Berish Welger who was also involved in bee keeping.
There were a few wholesale businesses in Podhajce, which served the entire retail business in the city and region. Chaim Lehrer, Hersch Kimmel and Avraham Milch owned wholesale food businesses. Moshe Zimet, Marcus Ohering and Dik owned wholesale iron businesses. Berel Weiss, Yehoshua Walfisz, Zelig Milch, the Ettingers, Boral and others owned wholesale leather businesses. Weintraub, Mauer, and Eisenberg were in the textile branch. Marcus Lehrer was in the haberdashery business. Sonia Schechter was involved with wine. Rabbi Lilienfeld, Hazelkorn and Tovia Ratner were involved with beer.
In brief, all business was entirely in Jewish hands. However, in the latter years, particularly in 1938 and 1939, the tendency increased for the Polish and Ukrainian nationalists to take over businesses from Jewish hands. In Podhajce, a special committee was set up for this purpose under the chairmanship of the manager of the court Ritarowski. They set up Polish institutions and conducted a strong propaganda campaign toward the Poles that they should have as little as possible to do with Jews. The Ukrainians did the same thing. This continued until the outbreak of the Second World War.
The Jews also played a very fine role in the handworker trades. Despite the fact that there was no shortage of Christian craftsmen, the Christians themselves gladly hired Jewish craftsmen.
Yehuda Marbach excelled in the mechanical trade. All landowners, Jews and Poles, would hire him to construct and repair their mines, for they esteemed his abilities and honesty. The artistic workshop of Shlomo Silver, his father-in-law, Zimmerman, and Degen was involved in carpentry. Well known tailors included Kressel and Berg; shoemakers Sekler and Lebensfeld; Kressel was known among the furriers; the entire Glazer family was involved in glassmaking; with paints and chemicals Bergman and Bodzanower; sheet metal Dik, Fistener, Biller and others. There were also Jewish tradesmen who worked with wood and stones for building, smiths (like Poliszuk) and various other trades.
The hotels of Gross and Schechter were known in the city. Aside from these, there were, of course, a large number of restaurants and taverns (Yosef Werfel, Shaul Friedman, Moshe Ornstein, Zeinwil Weisman and David Ajlen, Mrs. Fiszer, Haken, and others). Aside from these, there were several Christian restaurants. There were also a few Jewish bakeries: Moshe Gross, Chaim Yehoshua Beker, Statmauer, Buchwald, Wolf, among others.
There were two printing shops in the city, both of which belonged to Jews Weinles and Moszel. The owner of the bookstore was Eli Kressel.
The saddle making profession was also solely in Jewish hands (Citron, Lew and others). Several Jewish families, such as the Goralnik family, were involved in the transport business. Shmuel Szmiczler conducted an automobile and autobus enterprise. Two workshops (Zeidler and Rohatyner) were involved in watch making, as well as with selling various electrical appliances and furniture. Sellers of firewood included Meir Falver with his son-in-law Rutin, Abba Fisz with his brothers-in-law, and several other Jews. Of course, there were several Jewish hairdressers for example, Szmicler, Scher and Pik.
In one word both business and the most important trade enterprises were in Jewish hands at the time that the Christian population were mainly occupied with agriculture and gardening. Only in the latter years were a few Christian cutting enterprises and grain purchasing cooperatives formed.
For generations, the owners of the houses in the city were Jews. An anti-Semitic adage used to circulate: we would prefer it if Jews purchase houses, where they will dress well and eat well; the houses will, in the end, fall into our hands Thus did they think, and they were prepared for the time when Hitlerism came to the world, and Jewish lives and possessions became a free-for-all in all of the lands in which the nazi murderers overtook during the Second World War.
