Words of Wisdom"You would make a ship sail against the winds and currents by lighting a bon-fire under her deck? I have no time for such nonsense." - Napoleon, on Robert Fulton's Steamship

I've always valued building relationships throughout my career. The majority of companies, small businesses and sometimes even sole-traders you'll see supporting my expeditions may never have crossed your radar, but each and every one of them has taken the time to offer support and friendship, ultimately making success much more likely down the line.
This Summer's expedition is a bit different from my usual journey because I have a team on board, literally. No motors allowed on this one, but I have an amazing crew ready to make the fundraising, social media and adventurous aspects of this project a winner, all from the vantage point of one canoe and a bunch of Stand Up Paddleboards. NONE of them have paddled a great distance before, this Summer they're going 1000 miles.
I do what I can to look after my team and that means making them smile. When I found this brand I had a smile on my face, their message is super simple and fits perfectly with my idea of life.
So, I'd like to announce Weekend Threads as the latest sponsor for Swim1000. Thanks to them my team will be reminded that It's Always the Weekend every single day of the week. What's more, if you buy a tee from them and enter swim1000 into the coupon bar, Weekend Threads will donate $5 to CoppaFeel! to help us reach our £100k target.
Support them at your will!

It is a total airbrushed painting, but they made her eyes larger but forgot to make her nose smaller and her jawline smaller, hair and eyes look good, like a giant painting.
It was a two horse race and Beth lost.
Dear lord... she looks hideous. Why would any mag want her on the cover? They want to sell LESS magazines?! And her husband who's a MURDERER is a fucking shithead for fucking this fugly creature.
She'd make a great Morticia Adams.
Been mentioned before, but once Ashley started resembling SJP more and more, Howard suddenly couldn't mention her name without remarking how attractive he thought she was. Even though most normal men would agree she looks like a witch. The one nice thing he ever did for his kid, apparently.

Unique rousing entertaining just some of the -- -- -- described Clint eastwood's fat.
With President Obama last night and then there's this.
-- Eastwood was a disaster -- They did not that he would get up there.
And you rolled it in the end in front of the whole world like he did.
Here's -- ever seen at a political convention in my entire life.
I was at the convention and Mike Huckabee was ActiveX -- They weren't different conventions at -- this is a silly thing it wasn't meant to.
Cerebral moment where you don't have -- -- takes the stage or another governor -- that you know.
-- -- -- -- -- No I think you've got it exactly Clint Eastwood it was a surprise guest it was.
In part I think to respond to the Super Bowl ad where some people would surmise that he was right out there supporting.
You know the Obama -- out of the car companies he came back and walk and I said -- that had nothing to do that.
-- about America.
So Clint Eastwood is a great American he loves this country.
He is a conservative tends to lean a little libertarian.
He's very comfortable to go there I thought it was you know -- -- -- -- would -- you know what added for those that are would do he was not reading any script down he so we noticed the teleprompter which -- -- success.
The mind goes down this this is -- move up a little bit left the show -- -- just a up but he was known the prompter -- -- so I thought -- my -- his remarks you know that they're there and eat it.
And he was -- all the sound and it that I could -- I felt a little pain to swing civilians but what did you make of that and and whether it helped or hurt.
-- you know the people who don't like Mitt Romney and don't like Republicans hated Clint Eastwood being there the people who like Mitt Romney and who love Clint Eastwood.
And -- for the Republicans they thought it was just great and cute and fun and and kind of frankly it was the only moment in the entire convention that wasn't highly scripted -- choreographed.
I kinda like the drama the drama and the spontaneity.
So I found it entertaining.
I don't expect Clint Eastwood to come out and give.
A Ronald Reagan speech because he's not a politician he was there because it's that the celebrity that he brings and the credibility with that in the attention that he.
Right away if it but if -- he were to be doing this for Barack Obama you'd never hear.
Boo about this now duties -- -- I'm now just brilliant I guarantee you they're gonna call -- at ground they've got -- Hollywood crowd will turn out big.
Next -- -- -- -- residential terminal again you know I have a little fun with her I wanna take a look at okay -- like me here.
The only hitch in an otherwise perfect week.
Was the awful noise coming from the hotel room next door -- Turns out it was just Debbie Wasserman Schultz practicing her speech for the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte next week.
Bless her heart.
If you're sitting and managed to turn axial bullets here for its -- being.
I would ignore him because he's irrelevant.
Pop pop -- woke up well she should have ignored me then.
Back up and up.
You know I don't care -- that that was it was a fun remark it wasn't intended to be Maine and -- she made one statement that -- love she says something about.
Mike Huckabee just has a problem being around strong women I think -- -- 38 years obviously you don't know who I've been married to yet match candidates yet.
So yeah I I would not mess no doubt about it -- -- that that's a part of it.
It's very thin skin off.
Very thin skin yeah you know funny guy and people say stuff about me all the time and sometimes it's even -- -- -- -- here annually but when it's -- on -- -- I'm talking about it -- it I have always -- that in politics there comes -- point you just have to say look that's part of this whole process.
And and you move on it's not not a big deal I'm flattered when someone takes a shot at me you know sometimes it'll be Jon Stewart on The Daily Show -- -- until there.
I consider that a great honor because I feel flattered that they think that was important not to mention so.
From this point -- I'll try to remember Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not important but for me to mention maybe maybe that's -- issues that come -- and -- so this weekend.
You don't know I'm not important enough to come off but it's just hope of course it will -- kept up but I look forward to design governor great job at the good.

Total Service FIC050
FalconStudios.com Member Price:
Auto body shops are breeding grounds for many urban legends in gay porn, and the language of auto parts and body parts is almost interchangeable. Falcon International director Rolf Hammerschmidt grabs eight uncut Euro-lads and sticks them in an auto shop to show how they provide Total Service. Jack Bloom's trendy hair and piercings give him an air that horny customer Roberto Cruiz exploits by offering to pierce Jack's ass with his cock. Jack gives him Total Service. Tall, dark and handsome shop manager Greg Taylor gets caught jacking off to Internet porn by employee Enzo Bloom, who promises not to tell if they can make their own porn scene on the office couch. When he goes to pick up his car, blond Denis Klein has no idea he's going to end up as a hood ornament, bouncing on the end of grease monkey David Alister's cock. Finally, Justin Conway gives Heath Denson an example of Total Service as they explore the byways of lust and teen hormones. Uncut, un-inked, unpierced and almost untouched by human hands other than their own, these smooth and supple youth spend an afternoon in search of the fountain of jizz that lies at the end of every happy coupling in Total Service.

You just can't make stuff up that is this ridiculous
Just when you thought on-the-spot weather reporting in the 24-hour news universe couldn't get more ridiculous, The Weather Channel outdoes itself once again.
This time, they've decided to begin naming major winter storms, just like the National Hurricane Center does with major tropical storms. Their reasoning is that it will promote better awareness, which will lead to fewer storm-related injuries and fatalities.
They're adamant about it, too:

Top-Rated Flat Irons: What to Look For in a Flat Iron
By Atell Rohlandt
There are a number of top-rated flat irons out there, but you may wonder how you should choose between them and which flat iron will really serve your needs best. Not all flat irons are equal, and it's important to remember that the flat iron that works best for someone else might not be the best choice for you. Let's look at things to consider when choosing a new flat iron.
Consider Your Hair Type
This is probably the most important step when choosing between all the top-rated flat irons on the market today. Your hair type should determine the type of flat iron you purchase, and if you have fine or damaged hair, you should opt for a flat iron that has lower temperature settings. Thicker or coarser hair will need higher temperatures to straighten properly.
Look for Protective Features
Some flat irons have ceramic or tourmaline plates that help distribute heat evenly and help protect the hair against damage. There's also the option of ionic straighteners that use ions to get rid of frizz and to help protect the hair against the heat.
Fast, Even Heat
This is another important feature to look for, and some flat irons are able to heat up fully in under 20 seconds. It' s also useful if the flat iron makes a sound when it reaches its temperature so you know when it's ready to use. Auto shutdown can also be helpful if you forget to switch off the flat iron.
These features can all work together to give you a really effective flat iron, and some of the top-rated flat irons out there have most, if not all, of these features. Choosing the right flat iron will not only mean having straighter and sleeker hair, but it could also mean less damage to your hair. Take your time before you make your next flat iron purchase. Your hair will thank you for it!

Founded in 1959
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- In this weeks A+ News, FOX21 featured Wasson High School and its turning 50.
Founded in 1959, the school was named after Roy J. Wasson, longtime superintendent of Colorado Springs School District 11.
"I was afraid to come here my first day of school, and then I came and I loved it. This is my favorite school I have ever been to," senior Alana Nason said.
Nason has been at Wasson High for nearly two years. She said a lot of people have the wrong idea about the school. This year Nason and Wasson are celebrating 50 years of Thunderbird Pride.
"Being here 50 years means you are doing the right things. Buildings do not last if staff members are not doing the right things," Principal Sean Dorsey said.
Dorsey said a school can not be successful without a strong core made up of students and staff members. He added solid classes and programs also make them special. For example, their performing and visual arts magnet program.
"We have around 175 students in that program at this time. They are able to get some specialized education in the arts, and their day can look a little different as they focus on the arts," Dorsey said.
Other programs include Teen Court, Mesa Club and Gear Up to name a few -- all clubs that are designed to help students succeed on the path to graduation.
Nason said Wasson is a special place -- you just have to take the time to look.
"You really have to come inside the school to get a perspective of how it is to come here, because it is completely different than the reputation we have," Nason said.
Wasson High will celebrate its 50th anniversary Wednesday, January 21, at Mr. Biggs Family Fun Center starting at 5:30 p.m. Students, staff, alumni and community members are all welcome to attend.
Mr. Biggs has created a 50th Anniversary T-Bird Special, $10 for an all you can eat pizza buffet and a one-hour play pass. This special is available to anyone as long as they mention Wasson. Wasson will receive 15 percent of the sales during those two hours.
Alumni are invited to come and speak during the two-hour celebration. Wasson encourages alumni with business ties to showcase their companies. Tables and booths will be available.

The Return of the Native is Thomas Hardy's sixth novel and probably his best known. In fact, many critics assert that Eustacia Vye is one of the most memorable characters in English literature. The story focuses on the lives and loves of residents in the fictional county of Wessex, England, an area which was based on the rural area where Hardy was raised.
When the book was published in 1878, it met with mixed reviews. Some commentators praised Hardy's vivid descriptions of the geographical landscapes, especially those in the first chapter. Others felt that his portrayal of the local characters was shallow and unconvincing. Yet other critics objected to the sexual relationships in the novel. The charge that he wrote about sexual relationships purely for sensationalism hurt Hardy to such a degree that he quit writing novels by 1895, although he continued to live another thirty-three years.

Tough Cuts
Contractor/consultant Jon Ewing offers advice on how landscape contractors can engage in effective cost cutting without enduring unintended consequences.
Hopefully you're one of the fortunate contractors who got off to a quick start this year, enabling you to piece together an accurate budget that's helped you navigate these challenging times thus far. But if you're not, or conditions in your market area have further deteriorated this spring, now's the time to take a hard look at your numbers and start making some adjustments.
"If you are facing pressures from decreased sales, it is imperative that you thoroughly investigate any potential savings that will help maintain your profitability," says consultant and ex-contractor Jon Ewing. "Sometimes making hard cost cutting decisions can be painful. That's why it's very important that you analyze each and every expense."
Start with direct costs
While a handful of overhead expenditures are typically first to get thrown on the chopping block, Ewing says it's important to recognize that significant savings may also be realized by reducing your direct costs. "These are costs that are directly applied to each job," Ewing reminds. "They are costs that can be assigned specifically to a project with a high degree of accuracy."
Direct costs would include the following items on your income statement:
• Direct labor
• Materials
• Payroll taxes
• Labor benefits
Labor is generally your single largest expense. Make sure that everyone on your crews is productive. For example, analyze your costs to spread fertilizer, mow lawns and weed ground cover areas. Then, determine how you can save labor dollars by using slow-release fertilizers to reduce the frequency of fertilizing. Mulching mowers eliminate the need to bag grass clippings and dump green waste. Maybe you can use pre-emergent herbicides to eliminate or minimize weed growth.
"Ultimately, by instituting some form of labor-saving ideas, you may eliminate the need for one crewmember per crew," Ewing points out. "Over the course of several months, that adds up to some serious money."
Materials are another large expense. Ewing is a big fan of having loyal vendors. "You create loyalty by treating suppliers fairly," he says. "Nonetheless, you may be able to improve your purchasing by developing materials lists and offering them to three or four of your most trusted vendors."
For example, you may be able to anticipate your annual fertilizer purchases and attain a better price by illustrating a volume that may be important to a particular vendor. By illustrating the volume you use, it allows your vendor an opportunity to buy cheaper and pass a savings on to you.
Other vendors may offer a 2% net 10-day schedule. If your cash flow allows you to take this type of discount, it can add up to a substantial savings.
More quick tips include:
• If your company freely offers overtime hours, make sure that you monitor them carefully and allow them only with prior approval
• Check-out and check-in company tools
• Protect inventory from theft
• Return all unnecessary inventory
• Make sure documentation is provided for all items returned for credit
• Give crews time off when work is slow and document it for payroll accounting
• Follow your employee handbook policies for vacation pay, sick pay, etc.; don't give away anything you don't have to
Relieve some burden
Once you have fully analyzed your direct costs, it's time to take a look at overhead. Your overhead costs refer to the ongoing expense of operating your business. The term overhead is usually used to group expenses that are necessary to continue the business operations but do not directly generate profit. Overhead expenses as listed on your income statement may include some of the following:
• Administrative salaries
• Advertising/promotions
• Bank charges
• Bad debt
• Dues and subscriptions
• Education
• Employee benefits

The root (Part 1)
by Colin WyersFebruary 26, 2009
It's a common question: How much is a baseball player worth?
And that's really the problem with passive voice: We avoid asking the really meaningful question here. A baseball player is worth very little to my aunt, for instance. A ballplayer is worth a great deal to me, but that fact isn't very meaningful, as I couldn't pay Ryan Theriot's salary, much less Alfonso Soriano's.
So let's limit ourselves to asking this question: how much should an owner be willing to pay a baseball player? This is probably a deeply unsatisfying question to be asking if you don't feel that baseball players should be making millions in the first place. But baseball itself is a business drawing in billions in revenue, and as the primary draws for the business are the players. It's not surprising that they expect to be paid in accordance with the amount of money being made from their labor.
So let's first ask how we determine the "right" wage for anyone.
Marginal revenue product, the short form
The economists (or some of them, at least) will tell you that the key to determining how much a person should be paid is their marginal revenue product. Before we go about trying to apply this to baseball players, let's try to see how it works in the real world.
Suppose you have a factory that makes sprockets. You want to know if you should hire more workers for your sprocket-making operation. You know how many sprockets people are willing to buy at different price levels. You know how much it costs to make a sprocket in raw materials. You know how many sprockets you can make for each additional unit of labor, and given the above information, you know how much additional profit those sprockets will bring in.
So, should Spacely Space Sprockets hire more workers, and how much should they pay them? The maximum they should pay them is the additional profit the company would earn from additional sprocket manufacturing—in other words, the additional revenue from additional sprocket sales, minus the costs involved in producing and selling those sprockets. The minimum they should pay them is probably whatever amount those workers could get for doing the same work over at Cogswell's Cogs. In a competitive labor market, these two figures should be pretty close to the same. If Cogswell is willing to offer $5 for labor that's worth $7, then Spacely should be willing to pay $6 for that labor to draw them away from Cogswell. After all, he's still making money at that higher price point. And then Cogswell should be willing to bid up the price of labor as well.
Practically, the "bidding up" process should stop before the maximum; after all, there's no point in bidding up for $0 additional revenue. But that could realistically be construed as the point at which someone is overpaid from their employer's point of view. Since the employer is the one that's paying the wages, I really don't know if I can come up with a more relevant point of view, so for now let's go with that.
MRP is typically expressed in the form:
Marginal Revenue Product = Marginal Revenue * Marginal Product
In other words, if each additional sprocket is worth $1 in revenue, and an additional hour of labor will produce 7 sprockets, the MRP is $7. This is gross MRP, or additional costs in materials, training, and so on required to add additional hours of labor are subtracted to provide the net MRP, which is what we're really after.
So how do we apply the principles of MRP to baseball?
Generally recognized as one of the earliest and of the most influential papers ever written on estimating how much a baseball player should be paid is Gerald Scully's "Pay And Performance in Major League Baseball." Published in 1974, we should recognize that many things have changed since then, both in the ways that baseball's finances and player compensation work and in the ways that we can measure a baseball player's performance on the field. So let's restrict ourselves to looking at Scully's model in broad strokes, not in tiny details.
Let's begin by defining what we mean as product in the context of baseball. Scully (and most subsequent salary analysis I've seen) has operated under the assumption that team wins are the product offered by major league teams. From a player evaluation point of view, this is probably as close as we're going to get, as it's difficult to price a player's other contributions to team revenues, and a player's contribution to team wins should capture their value to the team's revenue pretty well.
So Scully proposes the following model for figuring out a player's MRP:
- Figure out the marginal revenue per win for the average team.
- Figure out how many wins a player contributes to his team, based upon his individual performance.
- Multiply revenue per win by a player's win contribution.
Now, there are fundamentally two methods of rating a player's contributions to his team:
- Looking at a player's production as a proportion of the total team production. The critique of this method, from economist Andrew Zimbalist, is that this operates from an assumption of the alternative is a player who hits .000/.000/.000—essentially, the alternative is that the team forfeits those players at-bats.
- The incremental model, which looks at a player's production relative to average. Of course in the absence of a particularly crucial piece of information: the value of an average player. This really fails to tell us what a player's total worth is, so it is agnostic on the question of whether or not baseball players are over- or underpaid. This is something of a significant question.
This tension there should be familiar to anyone that read my player value series. If Spacely wants to produce more sprockets, he can simply hire more workers, or pay his current workers to work more hours. There can be costs to expansion that need to be considered, such as increasing plant space or running the plant for more hours, but there's no fixed limit to how many man-hours Spacely can employ in the manufacture of sprockets.
The same is not true of baseball. A baseball team has fixed limits, both of numbers of employees (25) and of time worked (outs). Consider a baseball team that is looking to increase its productivity. Suppose there are two players available in free agency, one who produces five wins for his team and one who produces three wins for his team (assuming a starter's playing time). Our sprocket-making factory would hire them both and pay them accordingly. Our baseball team may be only able to hire one of them, and they may have to displace a two-win player from the lineup in order to do it.
An alternative
One critique of an MRP-based system is that it uses total revenues to estimate marginal revenues, typically using a regression model. We know there are several kinds of revenue, like broadcast revenues, that are weakly tied to single-season won-loss records; some, like merchandising and national broadcasting contracts, that aren't tied to win-loss records at all; and some, like revenue sharing, that are actually inversely related with win-loss records. This means that MRP-based salary systems can overestimate salaries.
Economist Anthony Krautmann has proposed an alternative model, called the "free market returns" approach. Essentially, estimates of the value of a given measure of production are measured against actual free-agent salaries, not revenue estimates.
This produces a model that can measure against real-world salaries much better than MRP-based estimates. Unfortunately, this assumes that MLB teams are paying the appropriate amount for labor; this is not always the case.
It should be noted that the Krautmann model is very similar (in broad strokes) to common sabermetric practices—most of the player salary estimates you see published from non-economists simply multiply their preferred player value metric by the average dollar value of that metric in salary.
Looking forward
Next week, we'll construct models of both salary approaches (or at least begin to do so).
References and Resources
For a look at the origins of baseball in relation to commerce, I heartily recommend "Their Hands Are All Out Playing."
Here's a look at a salary system based upon Win Shares. Baseball Prospectus uses MORP. Fangraphs also has a value-to-salary conversion system.
Andrew Zimbalist lays out his MRP model, and his critique of the Scully method, in "Baseball and Billions." Krautmann's critique comes from his paper "What's Wrong with Scully-Estimates of a Player's Marginal Revenue Product."
Special thanks to all in the Lounge - especially Jeff K. - who helped out with the article. "Spacely's Space Sprockets" is of course a reference to "The Jetsons."
Colin Wyers knows exactly how much of a nerd he is. He is very interested in hearing about any other concerns you may have; you can reach him by e-mail, and he will try his best to respond in a timely fashion. He also blogs at Statistically Speaking.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- rich Edson let's throw up some of via.
-- adjectives we've been hearing about this jobs report terrible.
Awful pathetic those are just a few the words my next guest used by himself using to describe the country's dismal employment situation so.
How can we reverse the trend and avoid a recession let's ask him joining us now on a Fox Business schools from Baltimore.
Dan north chief economist.
At Mueller Hermes North America so you see any job growth of the even just 80000 that as a positive aspect of all of that pulling us out of this recovery.
Well it's better the negative that's for sure.
But it peaks in January and has been on a pretty steep downhill ever since -- have had three months in a row a blast on a 100000 growth.
We need 250000 jobs a month to to get people working again to grow this economy.
So it's you know it's well below.
What we need.
And you know there there are number reasons behind it.
Basically we have a lot of uncertainty.
All throughout the economy.
From Washington from Europe and China.
And that needs to be removed before we can get people hire some more.
Washington I get that we can't remove anything that's happening in Europe because that's not our nation that's not our eurozone and to me -- look at that -- say.
How much better might we be if that worry about Europe we're constantly overhanging these -- market forces we can't control or cancel what do we do.
Well if you're right I mean -- we can't run that show but we can hope that things get better unfortunately we're not really heavily exposed in the export arena.
We're a little bit exposed.
In in the banking sector.
But we're -- confidence so we get confidence boosted here.
You know that'll help overcome that problem.
We don't -- let me jump in the we've done so much at in an effort to do that we of that stimulus we've got that the QE1 QE2 the liquidity that the Fed poured in.
Talk cold -- -- trader who was just with us from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange says now everybody sitting there waiting to see but the Fed does but how.
How much -- has really left on behalf of the Fed wheat way to start having a real trouble around here looking to see what more they can do beyond extending.
The current so called Operation Twist of switching out certain -- -- bonds.
Right I mean real interest rates are -- reserves are -- negative than.
Part of the quantitative easing idea as to lower long term interest rates how -- -- already wanna -- -- negative.
And there's all this news look.
Also needs liquidity from QE1 QE2 sitting out there how much more unused liquidity to we need.
To boost things the front running out of ammo and that's why he's hammering congress -- much you can say.
Guys clear up this fiscal cliff thing that's really an uncertain is putting a big drag on the.
We're cycling through some of the treasury numbers here's the ten near one point 54% yield pretty pathetic if people are pouring into it nonetheless because they're so worried down.
Is there an option when it comes to the election that is part of the negativity coming from uncertainty but.
What type of leadership out of Washington would turn this around.
Right well without without having to pick a party.
I'll I'll say that this it's would help if one party or the other.
Had control -- the house the senate and the presidency.
Then you might be able to get some sort of coherent plan about running with the finances and lowering the debt level.
We haven't had a plan in three years so -- it is it making it some sort of consensus get congress on stock remove the uncertainty remove the fiscal cliff.
That's what what how.
Some people say that of gridlock is actually good for businesses in America so that government stays out of the way but you're saying that that trend should be -- in the meantime.
Any good news Bob Brusca our economists that we quoted earlier had said that the average work week link had jumped -- paid jumped.
Had taken into tiny step up about 110 of a percent of an hour whatever the incremental movement was that indicated at least it was demand for products -- -- while employers are not.
Bringing on brand new employees to do that work they are offering over time to some of their employees.
What area do you see that was a slightly positive move in that number today.
Well I haven't gone into much of the the detail there obviously we lost jobs in the government sector and the private sector little looked a little bit better.
Mostly services.
Of course it's -- largest part of our economy.
You know so there's brightness there if you want to look really hard and as far as going up.
110 of one hour and the average work week.
Yes the right direction but you know it's what we need are more people working.
So -- -- twenty -- -- not a hundred off well thank you very much good to see -- Dan thank you very much but I dam north the close.
