Top CIOs on CEOs, IT Buying
CIO Insight: How do CIOs build a strong relationship with C-level executives?Trisha Rozas, CIO, Guy Carpenter
Over the years, what I've tended to try to do is come in and spend some time learning about the business, what the business entails, and how they're there to make money and what are the key drivers to success, and then take time putting together a technology roadmap. Then start selling that a little bit of grassroots, then to members of the executive committee, and the pitch it to the CEO. What I've learned is that many CIOs start at the top, asking them what they want rather than spending time listening to those in the trenches working with the technology. Stepping back and learning the business has a lot more credibility when you eventually have to pitch you plan to the CEO.
Ramon Baez, CIO, Kimberly-Clark
When I started here, my frist two weeks on the job I traveled around the globe to meet with the business leaders outside of North America. What I wanted people to understand is that I'm the global IT leader, not the NA IT leader. What ended up happening is the CEO saw the relationships I was building everywhere and build our IT business plan, he saw complete linkage to the business throughout. That's how you win over the CEO.
Art Langer, Professor, Columbia University
Understanding what brings value. I think I've found that this is a big miss in many cases. There's a lot of validity to the things discussed, but they're not connecting in the value proposition of the business for the CEO. Understanding what brings value in the organization - it layers on top of everything else.
CIO Insight: Is there a certain degree of reassurance you need from the CEO to get out and do these things? Or does the CIO usually get thrown into it and start from scratch?
Ramon Baez
I personally like to understand what the CEO thinks the problems are and what the issues are with IT. It's good to get that perspective - I found that to be very helpful when I was at Honeywell and Fisher Scientific and now at K-C.
Trisha RozasI find that the CEOs can't always articulate. It's more, "I hear IT is broken, so I want you to fix it." So the onus is more on the CIO to get out there and learn and report back to the CEO. The CEO is just hearing it from everyone--that there's a poor perception of IT, IT doesn't deliver, etc. They hear all this noise, but it's hard for them at the CEO level to know what it really is. So my job is to bring that down to manageable initiatives that can be tackled - that's where you'll earn the credibility you need from the CEO.
John Parkinson, CIO, TransUnion
When I was hired, I was interviewed by all the business unit presidents and the CEO. They were consciously involved in selecting all of the senior IT team here. That made a big difference in terms of access and the ability to communicate what their concerns were. The hard part is not going back with technology answers, but going back with business answers.
Ramon BaezCEO not understanding what was going on.
Some CEOs don't understand, and frankly, they don't want to. What you have to do is find a language that he/she can understand. He never met an IT leader that he could understand. When I went through the interview process and spoke with him for 45 minutes or so, he said, 'I actually understood everything you said.' He said all his previous IT leaders spoke in technology terms. I know it sounds pretty rudimentary, but it's something a lot of IT leaders forget.
Art LangerA lot of these issues relate to the state of the organization at any given time. If you're in a growth spurt, your relationship with your users is extremely important. However, there are a lot of CIOs that have to participate in cutting the line units through technology efficiencies.
One of the things we know through research is that line managers are extremely powerful in their organization. However, we also know that when companies cut back, they don't always trust line managers. A lot of CIOs have had to come to grips with the change in their role where they have to be an executive and go into these units and make cuts through technology operations efficiencies.
CIOI: What are some of the toughest things CIOs have had to do in this tough climate?
Trisha RozasIt's always a difficult time when it involves dealing with employees and their futures, but I feel like that's my job--that's what I'm here to do. You ride the good waves and you ride the bad waves. We're put in these positions to make the hard decisions. At the past three companies I've worked at, in some cases it's been every quarter we've had to lay people off. Yes, it's difficult, and yes, you have to do more with less, but to me it's just part of the job and has been for the last three or four years.
Art LangerAre you leading a case where you have to go into someone's business line and say we have to lay off 10 percent of your workforce because I have a technology solution that's going to make you more efficient.
Trisha Rozas
Absolutely. It's more of a joint initiative--we together have to find a way to cut costs.
John ParkinsonIf you have good collaboration with the line organizations and they know they have to take costs out and understand that you can help reduce the effort in concert with that, that's a strong operating alliance that makes all of this much easier to get through.
Trisha RozasAgreed.
Back to what Art was saying about what brings value... When you're out there learning the business and talking with the various units, a lot of the time you'll find areas that could be improved that don't necessarily have anything to do with IT--it could be a process change or a new way of doing something. I think CEOs are expecting more of a cross in terms of not just having to focus on IT. They're looking at IT because we have a broad view of organizations to present those thoughts, and that helps build confidence and credibility with the CEO.
CIO Insight: New research from Forrester finds that CIOs are the chief decision makers on IT purchases. But many vendors think they can go through a CIO's deputies or a line of business head to make the sale. What do you think?

Horseradish is a perennial in USDA zones 3–9. After the first frost in autumn kills the leaves, the root is dug and divided. The main root is harvested and one or more large offshoots of the main root are replanted to produce next year's crop. Horseradish left undisturbed in the garden spreads via underground shoots and can become invasive. Horseradish grows very well in a container of at least 15 gallons.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – Curry senior Ben Silvia capped off his hat trick with a game-winning goal in the 107th minute to lead the Colonels over Framingham State in non-conference action. With the win the Colonels even up at 3-1-1 while the Rams slide to 2-3.
The Rams opened up scoring in the 13th minute when Ken Stahovish (Springfield, Mass.) scored his first of two goals in the first half. Pedro Santos (Medford, Mass.) sent a long lead pass to Stahovish, which created a breakaway for the Rams.
In the 32nd minute Stahovish scored beating the goalie left to right after a long feed from Justin Hansen (Levittown, Mass.).
The Colonels scored three goals in quick succession in the second half to take a 3-2 lead. In the 64th minute Ben Silvia (Dartmouth, Mass.) sent in a one-time pass from Brandon Rinaldi (Watertown, Conn.). Just 61 seconds later Silvia scored again with Christian Mancini (Woodbury, Conn.) assisting. The visitors took the lead in the 70th minute when Giancarlo Orsini (Watertwon, Conn.) scored with Ari Mench (Kailua Kona, HI) assisting.
The Rams responded in the 79th minute sending a long strike from 18 yards out off a failed clear by the Curry defense.
Late in regulation the Colonels had a chance to take the lead back off a corner but he Curry header hit the crossbar.
Silvia hit the game-winner off a corner sent in again from Mancini.
Paul DeMaio (North Andover, Mass.) stopped 5 Rams shots for Curry. Josh Arno (Natick, Mass.) made 6 saves before giving way to Corey Davidge (Blackstone, Mass.) in the net for FSU.
The Colonels outshot the Rams 24-to-14 and took 16 corners to the Rams 3.
The Rams return to action on Saturday, September 16th when they host Westfield State in MASCAC action scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Curry hosts Salve Regina on the same day at 2:00 p.m.

Darn it, I like the phone too. Now I've got an a-n-c-i-e-n-t motorola flip phone until Asurion sends me my replacement. Not quite the same thing.

I wonder if I am appreciated. but i just don't see it... Like, maybe they have their own way of expressing it, and I'm not seeing it??? The only thing i can truly say is that when I am in silent mode and not responsive, they notice and that gets me the desired goal... But still, why let it get that far?

Unfortunately I am still waiting for that one and I've been raising my son on my own for 16 years. I think that the best thanks that you can get is the little things that our children do like come up and hug us for no reason or when they just tell you out of the blue that they love you. It wasn't until recently that a co-worker and I were talking about all the single moms in this country working 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet and still being able to raise children that it made him stop and think about how lucky he was to have both parents and how he has his wife to help raise the kids. He then expressed how much he admires all of us single mothers who go through what we do to provide for our kids and is really impressed that we find the strength to keep moving forward and not give up. Keep your head up! Your children will thank you when they get older...I know it's not exactly what you'd like to hear but when you see them graduate high school, maybe college, and get married and they are fine young men or women...you'll be so proud of what they have become and even more proud that they succeeded because you never gave up and you raised them with all the love and attention that they needed! I pray showers of blessings upon you and your child(ren) and I also pray for grace, peace, and mercy on your household and a hedge of protection around you and your family at all times! God bless!

i do this alot. It helps me stay motivatedand helps me see what hardwork can get me. I usually dont stick to it but i have discovered the trick is to make it easily achieveable. Be realistic. Things are going to come up, bills, medical problems, car peoblems. They happen. So here is my 5 and 10year plan. Alot of these are dependant on alot of variables but by breaking it down i at lease have a guide.
Then i went back and worked out both the monthly and fortnightly amount i would have to put towards each goal to see if it is achieveable.
Now obviously we would like to have a house before year 8 but it depends on how the rest works out. Will we get a tax return we can put towards it? Will rue need braces in that time? Will a car break down? Will we win the lotto? Will we have another child or a wedding to plan for? You never know! But atleast i have a clear outlook on what is ahead. After the first year i can revisit it and update the goals.
If you want to go further you can join this with your budget and work out how much expendible income you actually have each month. I think mine worked out to be about $300 which for most of these it should cover but later on i will need more but i will also hopefully have less expenditure. And the wheels keep spinning lol

Mr M is struggling with being a parent. He is quite an anxious person anyway but since Baby M has arrived he worries he isn't doing a good job and with the sleep deprivation making everything seem 100x worse he has become low in mood. He has given me permission to blog about his thoughts, feelings and struggles but I feel it is quite personal - it's his story to tell not mine. It has however got me thinking - what about the men?!?
We have discussed everything with our health visitor who, along with family, has been a great support. I think it is really important to have a good support network as without one things can become much worse. Our health visitor made some valid points. It is hard being a new parent - nothing can prepare you for the huge changes in your life and the fact that a tiny person is now totally reliant on you. There is no shame in saying you are struggling and need help.
Health professionals are quick to check how mum is feeling, there are groups for mums to go and talk about how they feel and how they are managing. Mums get a good amount of time to bond with baby by being off work.
What do dads get?!? 2 weeks paternity leave with some annual leave to add on if they are lucky. How are you supposed to get your head round such a life changing experience in 2 weeks?! No one asks dad how he is managing, yes mum gave birth but dad is going through everything that mum is going through too. There aren't groups for dads to go to, men are well known for not being able to discuss their feelings but surely they should be given the option. Men have this macho manly thing that crying is bad and that they should be superman and be able to hold everything together and nothing should phase them - this adds to the pressure already being piled on by people asking how much sleep you are getting, does the baby cry, how often does he eat, etc, etc, etc!!
A new baby turns your life upside down, yes it is amazing and wonderful but you need to make sure you look after yourself too. A baby needs it's parents to be there and to be healthy. You need to do whatever you can to make sure you stay well, be that taking it in turns to get up in the night, going for a walk on your own, asking someone to watch the baby for a few hours whilst you have some sleep or some couple time. Whatever works for you to help make things a little more manageable.
Mr M is a brilliant Dad & Baby M clearly loves him already. He will get through this difficult period.

The practice of implementing responsive images is still in its infancy. We've seen a lot of ideas and suggestions for how it should be done and we're bound to see a lot more.
Today we're going to look at a fascinating little framework that allows you to not only automatically resize your images when the viewport changes, but also crop the images with a specific important focal point in mind. Amazingly enough, it does all this with pure CSS. Read on to see how it works.
Historically, most web designers and their clients have approached the desktop side of any project first, while leaving the mobile part as a secondary goal that gets accomplished later. Even with the rise of responsive design, many of us begin with the "full size" site and work our way down.
There's a growing trend in the industry though to flip this workflow on its head and actually begin with mobile considerations and then work up to a larger desktop version. Why would you ever approach a project this way? What are some of the pros and cons of this strategy? Read on to find out!
What sets the great designers apart from the good ones? What goes wrong when a project with so much potential turns into something lackluster and subpar?
Decisions decisions decisions. Great designers recognize the key decisions that have the ability to make their projects special and have the courage to make those decisions. Read on to see how.
More and more lately I've seen developers utilizing tricks to create toggle states using pure CSS. This allows you to skip the JavaScript without sacrificing the interaction. How does this work? Is it an acceptable practice?
Today we're going to examine two distinct methods for utilizing a checkbox to create a click event that swaps between two images using good old HTML and CSS. We'll finish off with a brief discussion on semantics and the pros/cons of this technique.
Recently, we took a dive into the very core concepts behind CSS layout and explored the differences between absolute and relative positioning. We're going to follow that up with another CSS layout talk, this time based around a fundamental question that almost every new developer asks: how do you center something?
There are a bunch of different types of web elements and layout situations, each calling for a unique solution for centering (both vertically and horizontally). Today we'll go over a bunch of these scenarios so you can wrap your mind around how they work and come away with the confidence to center anything!
Building grids was moderately complicated before responsive design, these days they can be downright intimidating. When you dive into a complex layout, it's easy to get lost in all of the math and percentages. Sure, the hardcore nerds among us love to play with this stuff, but some developers just want to get to work!
Today we're going to look at an awesome grid system that will help you set up your responsive grids with very little effort. It's semantic, built for responsive design, completely flexible to the way you work, and powered by Sass. Meet Zen Grids.
Who doesn't love a good list? We use them constantly in our markup for a variety of different situations. Today we're going to take a look at a few simple and practical examples that you can steal and use in your own work.
We start off with a fun animated vertical list, then style up a list with thumbnails and text, another with just images and finally an ordered list where the numbers are styled differently than the rest of the type. There's a ton of great things to learn here so let's jump in!
Thumbnail galleries are a constant source of fascination for me. There's so much more fun to be had than simply creating a grid of squares and calling it a day. Especially since CSS3 gives us so many powerful new tools to work with.
Today we're going to mix up the boring old standard image gallery by turning it into a series of animated circles. Along the way we'll learn a ton of helpful CSS knowledge that will help you in all manner of future projects.
Today we're going to go back to basics with a "design 101" discussion on alignments. Centered alignments are an easy place to go wrong and if you don't know how to wield them properly, the result is a very poorly structured page.
Join us as we take a look at why centered alignments tend to be weak, where you should avoid them and how you should be using them.
One of the most interesting and useful responsive grid generators around is a tool called Gridpak, which allows you to use a simple and fun UI to create fluid, media-query driven grids. We reviewed Gridpak around a year ago and came to the conclusion that, although useful, it came up short in the area of user friendliness when it came to implementing the code.
The developers have made some progress in this area and I think it's about time we took another look. Join us as we dive into how Gridpak has improved its code offering and structure to provide a better, more streamlined experience for users.
Scrolling effects are becoming more and more popular as a means of increasing interaction and user interest. Through clever background positioning, animations and a little JavaScript, you can bring your page to life in ways that will surprise and grab your users' attention.
There's a wide variety of tactics that you can use to create a unique scrolling experience on your site. Join us as we take a look at twenty fresh sites and how they use scrolling effects in different ways.
Every week we take a look at a new website and analyze the design. We'll point out both the areas that are done well in addition to those that could use some work. Finally, we'll finish by asking you to provide your own feedback.
Today's site is SuccessInc, a Drupal theme from More Than (just) Themes. Let's jump in and see what we think!

Good Morning, Dad….
I know….it's been FOREVER since I wrote to you. I tried around Thanksgiving and simply couldn't do it. I'm here now though…..sort of.
Thanksgiving was beautiful. Rick was here. Mom and Jeff were here. Danny's family and friends. Thirty some folks in all. I felt present and happy. With that presence came missing you. I'll admit, I cried a few times. But that's okay. It's all about the firsts. I've already written about that. But we're still working our way through the year, and there's still a lot of firsts to come. And dad, everyone keeps saying you're always with me, and while I sometimes THINK I feel you with me, I'm actually not really sure. What does it feel like? When are you here? Right now you feel more absent than present. Maybe I'm just tired and unaware. Maybe it's just a phase. But really, maybe I'm just fucking exhausted.
On Sleeping
I took some sleep aids for a while to try and sleep, and while it seemed to "work", I'm not sure it REALLY WORKED. Like for real WORKED. I think when I take a sleep aid, I just don't remember not sleeping. And that DOES have it's benefits. I don't feel as anxious about not sleeping, which is good. But I also don't feel rested. Ever. I need to work on the sleep thing. Do you know what the not sleeping is doing to me? Well, let me start by saying I can't remember how to sing certain things. It's like I have something neurological going on. I can't remember certain words. Like I kept calling our Thanksgiving puzzle (yep, we have one of those), a pillow. And then I was getting the colors of the puzzle confused. I kept calling purple red. And yellow orange. But back to the singing. It's my favorite thing in the world to do. It's second nature. I sang before I talked. It's what I do. And now I can't remember notes. I have to think about it. I've never had to think about it. It's all muscle memory to me. The following other things happen when I don't sleep: I have no patience, I blame the way I'm feeling on everything around me, I fight with my husband, I cry all the time, I feel anxious, I feel depressed, I don't exercise, etc…… And then with all of these reactions to no sleep come more reactions…..it's a never ending loop of being too exhausted to deal and then being anxious about it and then not sleeping again. I'm sure it's a lot like being a new parent…..except I have no kid to show for it. So there's that……
Just got going again on all that. Right now I'm on the injections that remove all the estrogen from my system. Do you know what that does? It sends me into temporary menopause!!!! SO FUN!!!! And do you know what that does? It makes me NOT SLEEP! AND, I get hot flashes! OMG! BRING IT ON! MORE! And this is the time I clean out my system, so no sleep meds. And I'm ramping down the caffeine. And in one more week…..no wine. I don't drink much, but I like my morning cup of coffee and I like my wine with dinner. Those are two things I like. Or love. I love them so much.
On Being Married.
Being married is hard. Being in any partnership is hard. Danny is an amazing husband. I know that. I also know it's difficult to recognize all the amazing things when I'm exhausted. I can't decide if what I might feel in a particular moment is an underlying issue that's surfacing from lack of sleep, OR if I'm just a crazy nut lady that has no grasp on reality. Maybe a mix of both? Dad, I need guidance on how to be a better wife. Danny and I are totally fine, by the way. I just know I'm not easy to be with these days. So I'm trying to figure my way through that. I think I'm just afraid of everything right now. And so all my reactions are fear based. And that makes those reactions RIDICULOUS. All part of the grieving process I suppose. Like laying in bed at night thinking,"Why would he want to be with me right now? I'm a crazy person. I better get my shit together so he doesn't leave me. Wait, I'll go start a fight with him. Wait, that's a horrible idea. Okay, I'll go start a fight. THANK YOU FEAR!"
WWRD (what would Rich do)…..I think WWRD is a wonderful section for this letter blog, don't you think, dad?
Dad, I know what you would do. You would exercise. SO, that's what I've decided to do. Starting today. I'm going to run again. I love running and somehow it's become a stranger to me. I'd like for me and running to be best friends again. And I also would like running to love my knees. I'm also starting to practice yoga again. Yoga changed my life (you already know that though). The fact that I'm motivated to do either of those things in this moment is a miracle. Thanks, dad. Wait, that's it….here you are….right with me…..in this moment…..telling me to exercise! You're so awesome!
On the Music Front….
I'm not going to talk with you about this yet. But there's big things a brewin'.
The Holidays
Mom and I put up a Christmas tree! We did so on the first day of Hanukkah. So we made a beautiful dinner on our new grill (thanks mom and Jeff!), lit the Christmas tree, lit the Menorah, made candles, listened to the "Hipster Christmas" music channel on Pandora, and exchanged gifts. It's was beautiful, dad. I need not tell you how much I miss you during the holiday season. Remember how Rick and I would ALWAYS find our Christmas presents? We tore the house apart looking for them. We were such brats. You were so patient. I remember the year Rick got that robot that had an eight track player in it! What was that thing called???? Do you know what I'm going to miss? Shopping with you on Christmas eve. We were so good at that. And honestly, those Christmas eve's with you are some of the best memories of my life. I loved how we sat and drank coffee first. And we talked about our plan for the day. And then we would execute the plan flawlessly. And we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. Oh man, I miss you.
Random Thing:
This blog is one of the funniest things I've ever read: http://lizgalvao.tumblr.com/post/30461401480/lets-make-fun-of-anthropologie-furniture
Welp, it's time to get back to my day. I have a show tonight. And tomorrow night. And then Rick and the kids are coming! I talk about you all the time, dad. I tell stories about you. Anytime something happens that reminds me of you, I talk about it. I swear if I heard your voice right now, I'd sleep like a baby again…..
I love you, dad.

Make Life Easier by Adding Some Dependability to It
Do you ever wish life was a little bit more stable for you? Many people feel that way, but you don't have to accept things the way they are. There are plenty of good ways to make life easier, but finding ways to add some dependability to your life is certainly the best way to go about it. But where should you start? That's what we're going to consider now. Read on to find out more about adding some dependability to your lifestyle.
Let Others Depend on You and the Favour Will be Returned
When you prove to other people who you are more reliable and dependable, you will find that they return the favor. That's one of the best ways to add some dependability to your life. If you want to be able to rely on more people, you first have to prove that they can rely on you. It's a simple concept to get your head around, and you should apply it to your everyday life.
Improve Your Core Clothing Items
This might not sound like a big deal, but having a core set of clothes that you can depend on terms of quality and comfort can be a pretty big deal. Dickies jeans will serve you better than a cheap pair of jeans. That's what dependable means, and even if it might occasionally mean spending more in the short-term, you will save money in the long-term by not having to replace them when they fail you.
Know Which Brands You Trust
There are some brands that have a great reputation, and that means you can trust them most of the time. However, there are other brands that have bad reputations, and you can find out about those bad reputations by doing things like reading online reviews. These days, the consumer is king. The power is in your hands because all the information is out there for you to find. Make the most of that.
Be More Discerning
Not everyone should be trusted, and you're far more likely to be duped and conned in life if you don't have some scepticism in your decision-making. By being a little more discerning when it comes to making your decisions in life, you will make fewer mistakes and know where you stand more often. Don't take everything at face value because that way lies trouble, so be careful.
Surround Yourself with People You Know Will Step Up to Challenges
The people around you will have a big impact on how your day-to-day life is experienced. You should do what you can to surround yourself with the kind of people who will step up to a challenge when necessary. This is of particular importance in your career. You want to be working with people will back you up and support you. If they can't do that, it's your career that could suffer too.
Anything that makes your life that little bit easier should be embraced, and having a bit more dependability in your life certainly does that. So, make the most of the ideas discussed above.

However, last October he awoke in the night to a searing headache. They took him to the ER where they discovered the cancer had come back and a sizable tumor had developed in his brain. Worse, the cancer had spread to his lungs; Stage 4.
In the past few years I have learned more about cancer than I care to know, as various friends have been harmed or taken by cancer. Stage 4 is the one you don't get to walk away from.
My neighbor Mike, his wife, and their three little ones are trying to enjoy what time they have left together. However, school debt and growing medical bills burden them with worry. Some folks in the neighborhood are sponsoring a 5k to help raise some funds.
Another neighbor has started a GoFundMe site to help alleviate some of this family's struggles. The power of the internet lies with, not a few doing much, but many hands assisting. This blog gets one to three thousand reads a month. I don't make a habit of passing the offering plate, but if the readers here would consider skipping a Starbucks run and donating 5 dollars (or more), we could help give this newly created project a jumpstart.
Take a moment to go to the site, watch the video (much of which was shot in the park behind my house), and please donate. If you could link this to any of your social media, that would also be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Title: Fifty Shades Darker
Publisher: Vintage
Pub Date: April 17th, 2012
Author: E.L.JamesReceived From: Purchased
Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house.
But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades.
While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.
Love is never easy or quite what you expect it to be. When we left off at the end of Fifty Shades of Grey Ana had begun to realize this and her relationship with Christian was on the rocks so to speak. The chance she takes on him allows her to begin in this book to know what Christians life was like and what in his past made him the way he is. I think the title of the book paved the way for me to know that yes in fact we are heading into the dark. Aside from the lives of Ana and Christian this time around we are introduced to a woman from Christians past, Leila. Unfortunately Leila isn't walking around with the best intentions towards Christian and Ana and we turn from a tale with love and romance and sizzling passion to a bit of a scare. There is also another force that we aren't quite aware of adding to the game. What a tangled web we weave describes all the pieces I found in this book. I continue to love Christian Grey and his relationship with Ana.

When I used to have a subscription to SPIN magazine, I used to get really frustrated. You see, when you have the subscription? All of those cool bonus CDs and junk the magazines come with at the checkout? Aren't there. That should be a crime, if you ask me. I mean, I shell out however much for them to send me the sucker and then I'd have to pay more to get the same thing, just to get a free sampler CD of songs that I'd probably never listen to again? Unfair!
But now, SPIN, you've made my life easier with your free downloadable August sampler. Yes. Now I have worthless MP3s to push aside and laugh at! Ha!

This is a keeper!

"This is a really funny movie from the 70's. It was one in a series of movies starring Weng Weng, a Filipino midget (about 2 ft tall i think). He plays a secret agent code named Aget Double-0. This movie is filled with sex, drama, action and international intrigue! Better than any James Bond movie (honest). This is a must see for an Austin Powers fan as this movie is probably where Mini Me was adapted from. The dubbing is funny too, kinda reminds me of Woddy Allen's "What's Up Tiger Lilly?"."
I knew it would be good, but...

"I mean, come on, a filipino midget weapons expert spy?!?! Weng Wang is simply incredivle! I expected some good schlock but I was unprepared for the level of greatness that For Your Height Only was about to hit me with. This is hall of fame, people. Just the fact that half the villains are dubbed in by bad Edward G Robinson impersonators should be reason enough to check this out!! And I say impersonators in the plural form, but that's assuming there is more than one guy doing the voices--and that's almost doubtful . Every scene produces great line after line that you could potentially bust out at your next party and sound like a comic genius. Make a great drinking game out this movie and put one back whenever a villain gets mamed by a Weng-kick to the groin. Sometimes it is the case with cheese classics that you need to wade through a bunch of boring parts to get to the juice. But not this one. I could honestly say this puppy moves. At one point, my buddy bursted out, "Oh, I never want this movie to end!!" And true indeed, it will be receiving many more viewings from this proud FYHO owner. There's even a Web site out there dedicated to the very existence of this film, which should be testament to the level of genius we are talking about. And I don't throw the "G" word around too much. It's just a shame Weng didn't milk this franchise and do a dozen sequels. It's so worthy. I love that little guy!Include this flick in an evening's double feature with Willy Wonka and you've got yourself a little person party extravaganza. Put it on, soak it in, yuck it up..."
Attention fans! the sequel is now available!

"Attention fans! the sequel to For Y'ur Height Only is now available on DVD. The Impossible Kid (aka 007½ : NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE aka The Incredible Kung Fu Kid aka The Impossible Kid of Kung Fu aka 007½: Rien N'est Impossible) follows Agent 00 on more adventures. Good news is that the print is a little better (not much) than the For Y'ur Height Only DVD and is dubbed (previous copies of this movie were only available in French without subtitles). Unfortunately, it is NOT dubbed by the geniuses that dubbed the 1st film but dont complain its more Weng Weng action! It is available on the "Martial Arts 50 Movie Mega Pack" which was just released a few months ago. I'm not going to give any plot details away but if you enjoyed the 1st film and want more midget action you might as well grab the second one.

"A reviewer on the Internet Movie Database once referred to this very odd 70's Filipino spy genre spoof(?) as "the greatest movie ever." While there is some scant evidence to the contrary, I confess I made a similar declaration to my bad movie buddie Jack while watching this. It brought on one of those serious giggle fits, those breathless, guilty-pleasure, I-can't-believe-I'm-watching-this highs that only truly good bad movies can induce. Star Weng Wang is a god, though I could have done without seeing his oddly giant nipples. Somebody really needs to dig up more gems like this and get 'em on DVD!"

MSD 30479 SB Chevy, 8541 Crab Cap Super Conductor Plug Wires
Important Messages:

- Get FREE shipping when your order includes this item and exceeds $99! Ground shipping only in the contiguous US.
- This item ships via Ground Shipping only. Expedited and Air shipping options are not available.
The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire is "the" performance wire.Engineered from the inside out, the 8.5 offers everything you have everwanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 inch length of Super Conductor Wire there is only 40 - 50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire. To accomplish this, we use a copper alloy conductor due to its great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss in spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. So tight in fact, that there is over 40 feet of conductor wrapped into a single foot of plug wire. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) "choke". This choke, or suppression capability, keeps the EMI inside the wire where it cannot interfere with other electronics on your vehicle. The outer sleeve that surrounds the conductor assembly is just as impressive. A proprietary blend of silicone and synthetic material produce a sleeve that is highly resistant to high heat as well as abrasion and tears. The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Plug Wire is available in Universal Kits and Bulk Lengths.

According to Age UK, there are around 14.5 million people in the UK over the age of 60 – with projections saying that the number will be over 20 million by the year 2031.
Unsurprisingly, there is a growing market springing up to cater for this rapidly expanding demographic. One start-up looking at new solutions for looking after an increasingly elderly population is Canary Care.
Canary Care provides home monitoring systems that enable the elderly to stay in their own places independently for longer. The Canary system consists of a series of motion, heat and light monitoring devices that feed information into a central hub. The central hub tracks data and sends an email or text alert through an in-built mobile connection if certain parameters are not met.
For example, if programmed to do so the monitoring system can send an alert if there has been no movement or activity by a certain time in the morning. Equally it can send an alert if a scheduled carer has not turned up and checked in by a certain point in the day.
The system is meant to be extremely flexible and minimally invasive while allowing the elderly or infirm to live in their homes, independently, for longer and providing reassurance to family as well as carers.
The company has been running for around 18 months and is sending its first shipment of pre-orders now.
"It seems to be striking a chord," says William Cotton, chairman of Canary Care. "It's attractive to a lot of families who are struggling with keeping an eye on elderly relatives, the increasingly frail or those that have other chronic ailments."
Many elderly want to continue to feel independent and resent too much intrusion into their personal lives, says Cotton. For example, many do not like to wear personal pendant alarms hung around their neck. "They feel like it's a badge saying: 'I'm dependent on others' and avoid wearing them," Cotton adds.
The Canary Care system is meant to keep intrusion to a minimum. It avoids the use of microphones or video cameras used in other security and monitoring systems – taking only measurements of movement, heat and light. "Elderly people are adamantly opposed to the use of video monitoring in their own homes and see it as unacceptable intrusion on their privacy and independence," Cotton explains.
As well as being less intrusive, the Canary system sells itself on its affordability and ease of use. The system costs £270 for the initial package and £15 per month for ongoing monitoring. Both prices include VAT, which many elderly would be exempt from under HMRC – the UK revenue service - guidelines.
Once purchased, the system can be installed without the need for any existing infrastructure such as landline or Wi-Fi connectivity. Instead the UK assembled monitoring devices use an inbuilt multi-SIM system to send small packets of data to Canary's central server through the mobile network.
"It's a disruptive technology in many ways," says Cotton. "But I'll be honest and say that it's not completely new technology or components. It uses existing components but putting them together in a clever way and at an affordable price."
The potential market for the system is huge. As the 60+ population climbs towards the 20 million mark in the UK, an increasing number of families will be searching for a way to reassure themselves that their loved ones are all right. For example, Cotton estimates that there are already around 2.5 million pendant alarm systems in the UK market and he thinks the Canary monitoring system would be able to replace or work in conjunction with pendant alarms for many of those consumers.
Cotton got involved in the project after 23 years of working with Boots, a UK retail pharmacy chain, when he had to start helping to look after his mother-in-law. He found that looking after the elderly was an area that was still not well served by technology and Canary Care was born through a collaboration with Christopher Curry, one of the former founders of Acorn Computers.
The company now stands at the real starting line. Preparations have been made and pre-orders are ready to ship. A second funding round is over 70% complete on an equity crowd-funding site called Syndicate Room. A number of large backers, such as venture capitalists, Mercia Fund Management and angel investor, Michael Harriman have backed the company to succeed. Have they backed the right horse?

We at ROCC see ourselves as the Hands & Feet of Christ, and we seek to live our faith in service to our community.

How would you feel if a newspaper came to you and told you your husband or partner had donated sperm to at least 9 couples and at least 3 of them were pregnant? Additionally, he had done this completely without your knowledge and didn't plan on telling you until after the children were born.
That is the situation facing Kathy Johnson, *"former Mrs. Alabama, a former director of the Alabama Broadband Initiative, a former director of Children First Foundation and director of the Alabama Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy." Mrs. Johnson's husband, Bill, a former top state official and Republican gubernatorial candidate in Alabama, has been working in New Zealand with the recovery effort from the deadly earthquake. While in New Zealand, Bill decided to pursue a desire to be a biological father, a desire he should have given up when he married a woman who had had a hysterectomy. Not only did Bill pursue this without his wife's knowledge but he pursued it without going through the rigorous screening processes in place in New Zealand's fertility clinics. He chose to go through online donor registries to meet women who wanted to get pregnant. Additionally, Bill compromise the very values he claimed to believe in during his campaign (values I don't share). Instead of holding tight to his anti-gay marriage stance, he donated to at least one lesbian couple.
Furthermore, Bill Johnson is now upset about the newspaper story dealing with his activities. He *"said publication of the story would make it difficult for him to stay in New Zealand. 'I've been trying to get my wife over here, my family over here ... so I can be around for these children,' Johnson said, according to the Herald." As if what he did wasn't bad enough, he had been trying to uproot his wife and family and move them to the other side of the world when he didn't even plan on telling them about the babies until after they were born. This secret sperminator is truly a scum sucking bottom feeder.
How would you react to something like this? Kathy Johnson has (so far) reacted with class and dignity. I think I might have gone for the cut his balls off response. Weigh in with your opinion.

One clue: Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told Congress last year, after viewing a large cache of unreleased images: "I mean, I looked at them last night, and they're hard to believe. They show acts "that can only be described as blatantly sadistic, cruel and inhumane," he added. A Republican Senator suggested the same day they contained scenes of rape and murder. No wonder Rumsfeld commented then, "If these are released to the public, obviously it's going to make matters worse." Yesterday, news emerged that lawyers for the Pentagon had refused to cooperate with a federal judge's order to release dozens of unseen photographs and videos from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq by Saturday. The photos were among thousands turned over by the key whistleblower in the scandal, Specialist Joseph M. Darby. Just a few that were released to the press sparked the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal last year, and the video images are said to be even more shocking. The Pentagon lawyers said in a letter sent to the federal court in Manhattan that they would file a sealed brief explaining their reasons for not turning over the material. They had been ordered to do so by a federal judge in response to a FOIA lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU accused the government Friday of putting another legal roadblock in the way of its bid to allow the public to see the images of the prisoner abuse scandal. One Pentagon lawyer has argued that they should not be released because they would only add to the humiliation of the prisoners. But the ACLU has said the faces of the victims can easily be "redacted." To get a sense of what may be shown in these images, one has to go back to press reports from when the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal was still front page news. This is how CNN reported it on May 8, 2004, in a typical account that day: U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld revealed Friday that videos and a lot more pictures exist of the abuse of Iraqis held at Abu Ghraib prison. "If these are released to the public, obviously it's going to make matters worse, Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee. I mean, I looked at them last night, and they're hard to believe. The embattled defense secretary fielded sharp and skeptical questions from lawmakers as he testified about the growing prisoner abuse scandal. A military report about that abuse describes detainees being threatened, sodomized with a chemical light and forced into sexually humiliating poses. Charges have been brought against seven service members, and investigations into events at the prison continue. Military investigators have looked into -- or are continuing to investigate -- 35 cases of alleged abuse or deaths of prisoners in detention facilities in the Central Command theater, according to Army Secretary Les Brownlee. Two of those cases were deemed homicides, he said. "The American public needs to understand we're talking about rape and murder here. We're not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told reporters after Rumsfeld testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. We're talking about rape and murder -- and some very serious charges. A report by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba on the abuse at the prison outside Baghdad says videotapes and photographs show naked detainees, and that groups of men were forced to masturbate while being photographed and videotaped. Taguba also found evidence of a male MP guard having sex with a female detainee. Rumsfeld told Congress the unrevealed photos and videos contain acts 'that can only be described as blatantly sadistic, cruel and inhuman. The military later screened some of the images for lawmakers, who said they showed, among other things, attack dogs snarling at cowed prisoners, Iraqi women forced to expose their breasts, and naked prisoners forced to have sex with each other. In the same period, reporter Seymour Hersh, who helped uncover the scandal, said in a speech before an ACLU convention: Some of the worse that happened that you don't know about, ok? Videos, there are women there. Some of you may have read they were passing letters, communications out to their men .The women were passing messages saying Please come and kill me, because of what's happened. Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys/children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. The worst about all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror it's going to come out.

Magazine article New Internationalist
Article excerpt
Sock and Awe
And so we say a fond farewell to George W Bush, fount of so many absurdities and idiocies that Seriously might wonder how it will survive without him. But at least we can all go out with a bang by emulating the example of the Iraqi journalist who so ungratefully threw his Size ios at the World's Commanderin-Chief on a rare visit to the Killing Fields. The kind folks at http://play.sockandawe.com/ have devised an online game that not only allows you too to fire your shoe at that grating grin as it tries to duck and cover but also offers a league table showing the country origin of the people who have socked it to him the most times.
As we go to press, 46 million people around the world have already availed themselves of this most innovative form of stress relief. Americans, not surprisingly, top the charts, but Australians are not far behind. And hot on their heels are citizens of United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, which suggests a surprising degree of ingratitude and disregard for Dubya's unparalleled services to oil consumption. …

Nine Covens
Nine Covens is another mysterious band. Words from their label,Candlelight Recording says,
'Featuring current and ex-members of some of the key extreme bands from the last decade, NINE COVENS came together to explore the darker, more brooding aspects of Black Metal and in doing so have created a virulent, belligerent and passionate account of the weakness that exists in humanity"
Their new album, '....On Coming of The Darkness' will be another good beginning for 2012 balck metallers. Love the riffs and composition of sound is utterly true metallers.

My daughter and I when to Doll House to buy a Sherri Lee dress that my daughter was obsessed with. I received no service from the sales staff until I asked. They gave my daughter a few styles to try on when asked what size my daughter would be, she pointed at the dress my daughter had on and said "that size". I noticed that the dresses had no size tags on them and when I asked the sales staff about that, they got frustrated with me and gave no explanation. So I left the store with a much deflated daughter, went home and ordered the dress online and saved $200.

When everyone was cooled down we went on another hike alongside the Virgin River that created Zion Park. The river goes very fast in some places, while in other it is slower with a lot of rocks. At the end of the mile long hike, we came to where the trail ended and the only way forward was through the river. Many hikers had special suits and walked on through the river. It is an extremely difficult hike and the water in some places is 5 feet tall. We didn't hike any further, and just took off our shoes and jumped on the rocks in the river, and sometimes falling in. It was so much fun in the river! We didn't bring swimsuits so we just jumped in with our clothes on! It was so hot that we dried off right away. My feet were numb after wading in the frigid water.

After the hike, we went back to our RV and got ready to go to our next destination, Bryce Canyon. On the way out of the Zion Park we went through long tunnels made into the mountains. It was very dark in the spooky!


text: DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 13, 2010) – Although Mark Martin will be making his 50th NASCAR Sprint Cup start at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, this will be the first time the racing veteran has started from the legendary event from the pole position. Last weekend, Martin wheeled his No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet around the 2.5-mile speedway to post a lap of 47.074 seconds and capture the pole from teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. At 51 years old, Martin is the oldest driver to earn the pole for the season opener. In 49 Sprint Cup starts at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Martin has tallied nine top-five finishes and 17 top-10s. In 2007, he nearly won his first Daytona 500, crossing the finish line only .020 seconds behind Kevin Harvick. This marked the closest margin of victory ever in the Great American Race. "The Daytona 500 is a big deal," Martin said. "We can see that in the fans that come out and stay for weeks. The amount of time that is spent preparing the cars for this one race. The level of excitement is up on that day. It's just a different feeling. But once you're strapped in that car, it's the same. It's just like any other race, and you want to win." Crew chief Alan Gustafson and the team will work throughout the race to perfect the No. 5 Chevrolet, in this case Chassis No. 5-560 which has never been raced or tested before. They also will have to adjust to the new procedures NASCAR has implemented for superspeedways. "NASCAR added some wing end plates that slowed the cars down and put a little drag on the cars," Gustafson said. "I don't know for sure, but the restrictor plate should be, in single-car runs, a pretty direct replacement for the drag that they added with the curved end plate. That should be the same. They will probably suck up better and faster than they did before in a pack. If that's the case, the drivers will like it. In overall speed, I don't think they'll be a whole bunch of difference." Race coverage for the Daytona 500 begins this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.

I don't know about you, but I need a little structure and organization in my life. I had finally had enough of the dreaded Tupperware lid drawer. I could easily use this drawer for something else besides a mess of lids. This had finally became a big problem with a simple solution.
I thought for a few minutes and came up with the perfect solution! I went and bought some metal mesh letter holders. You can get these pretty much anywhere, Wal-Mart, Target or any office supply store and they are very cheap.
Now that's more like it, a little bit of organization. Keeps the mess minimal and freed up some drawer space!
Be inspired and create!

Teaching Philosophy
By examining the world of the Ancient Mediterranean, I strive to impart in my students an awareness of the religious ideologies that shaped institutions from antiquity to modernity. Ancient Judaism, in particular, provides a unique lens with which to consider provincial responses to imperialism (with postcolonial theory), the afterlives of biblical texts (with textual reception theory), and the way categorically "religious" phenomena are embedded in a larger nexus of social forces (with religious and feminist theory). I teach my students to think with precision as they parse both the textual and material record. I aim to arouse their critical gaze toward the primary sources through analyzing rhetorical tactics and structural connections. My teaching is guided by the following four principles: careful reading, articulate speech, intersectional analysis, and modern engagement.

WAREHAM – The two dozen or so students of Minot Forest Elementary School who visited the school Saturday morning during an off-day were not jumping for joy.
Actually, they probably were, but more importantly they were there to "Jump Rope for Heart," an annual fundraising program benefiting the American Heart Association. Coordinated by faculty member Michael Houdlette (along with several volunteers), Saturday's program lasted for about two hours and consisted solely of students jumping rope in the school's gymnasium.
Participating female and male students (hey, jump roping is not just for girls) solicited financial contributions in advance of Saturday's session, with all proceeds donated to the AHA. The Society of Health and Physical Education is a collaborator for the "Jump Rope for Heart" program.
Students raising specific levels of funds were eligible to receive prizes from program sponsors.
The purpose of "Jump Rope for Heart" is to encourage young people to remain active and to develop good eating and living habits. In addition to raising funds for heart-disease research, the program also encourages youngsters to adopt sound eating regimens (such as drinking water instead of sugary drinks and eating fruits and/vegetables with all meals) and set a goal of remaining active for at least one hour daily.
Saturday's participants at the MFES had no difficulty remaining active for long periods, jumping rope continually either solo, in tandems or at designated stations. Volunteers provided healthy refreshments – including bottles of water and fresh orange slices – to keep the youngsters fueled and refreshed.
And jumping for joy.

Monastery, 1777-1838. Preservation #1643 | Foto | Scheme
2 Zarvans'ka St.
The first-rate
(*) Sviato-Ňroyits'kyi Monastery is located not far from the Wind Gate and makes
up a corner of the block, near which, from the south-eastern side, there is
Post Street, ŕnd from the north-western - Troyits'kyi Provulok. It is not known
who and when founded it. There is only clear evidence that it has already existed
in the XV˛˛ century; because after seizure of Kamyanets' by the Turks in 1672,
this monastery, along with other churches and Roman-Catholic Churches, was turned
into the Moslem mosque by sultan Magometh IV, and had been in such condition
till returning Podillia to Poland in 1699. In the plan of Kamyanets', made in
1672, it was among the number of another Russian churches, having been the Orthodox
ones at that time. This fact proves that Sviato-Troyits'kyi Monastery has been
founded by the Orthodox believers.
Under the
this monastery had fundush capitals, bequeath to it by different owners, but
after turning it into the Orthodox one the heir of the testators refused to
pay interest under the pretext of that fundush capitals were left not for the
Orthodox Kamyanets' monks, but for the Basilians. In 1809, the superior of Ňroyits'kyi
Monastery, archimandrite Stephan brought a suit against it, that last till 1834,
and by definition of the Governing Senate, it was decided in the monastery's
favour, that received 22 092 rubls of capital and interests: 72 1/2 kop. of
silver and 14 019 rub. 6 kop. by banknotes.
On considerable part of that sum in 1836, archimandrite Nafanailg expanded and reconstructed the monastery buiilding by building on a two-storied stone wing with a warm church to it in honour of saint Antony and Feodosiy Pechers'ki, ŕnd in 1855, a renewal of cold church was finished.
Today, there are five celibate priests, one celibate deacons and 10 novice, besides the archimandrite and deputy in the monastery.
(*) It was ordered by the highest decree of April 12, 1795, to found the first-rate monastery in the principal town of province Kamyanets'-Podil's'kyi, in abrogated Jesuitical kliashtor; as that kliashtor was at that time a warehouse of state stuff, and moreover there were some public Roman-Catholic schools, then Sviato-Ňroyits'kyi Monastery was set up in the Basilians' Roman-Catholic Church. The Jesuit kliashtor was demolished and the building of the province gimnasium was placed there.

text: The journal of one winter by Klaus, a gardener, writer, and semi-retired teacher stranded happily in Iowa City. Meant as a companion volume to Klaus's previous daybook, My Vegetable Love (1996), this diary sequel was kept during the winter of 1996 from New Year's Eve to March 15th. It is smaller and less vital than the book before. Perhaps the season itself imposed a constraint on Klaus--gardeners like to have growth to write about. For lack of that in his snow-filled ""three-quarter-acre lot,"" the wind-chilled author becomes monotonously obsessed with his midwestern ""warlike weatherscape."" He combs the Interact, the Weather Channel, and the almanacs for long-range forecasts, fussing over the season's shifting moods and temperatures. To soothe mild woes, he downs countless bowls of soup. He ritually walks his dog, doctors his cat, considers seeds, and feeds the birds. Klaus's inevitable cabin fever, though, fails to lead him toward introspection or insight. He doesn't have the stamina, the imagination, or the bent to think about winter or observe it in depth. Even his verbal snapshots of wintry scenes seem willfully trite. His avuncular charm may need a fuller page, a tree with fruit to describe--not the grip of ice. The fact that the season brings him no real hardship, only a predictable frustration and inconvenience, also keeps the drama out of this tale of supposed stoicism and rumored wherewithal. When Klaus worries that his written ""winter watch"" may seem ""trivial"" to others, he is right. Dull heartland postcards about the fallow months.

5 hours with the girls in my stitch group at the LNS. Doesn't get any better than that.
Had a better stitchy day yesterday. 255 stitches. I am now in some confetti so don't know how much I will get done but going to give it a good try.
Star gazing was really good last night. Clear skies and the moon was huge. Also could see Orion and the Pliedies (spelling). Cold because the wind came up again but well worth it.
Here is my starting point for today.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day and you get to do a lot of stitching.

MAUI — Settling into our oceanfront table for dinner, Keegan Bradley mused, "This is romantic."
It could have been, under different circumstances. But this was a business dinner, a chance to talk about where this talented 26-year-old is in his career. The venue was a lovely restaurant called Merriman's, usually a favorite destination for anyone who comes to the Tournament of Champions. This is Bradley's second trip to the tourney, but he had never seen the place. Unlike a lot of the other sunburned guys in the field, Maui is not a working vacation for him. Bradley doesn't whale-watch or lie by the pool or snorkel or indulge in other distractions. "That stuff isn't fun for me," he says. "What's fun for me is playing well and having a chance to win."
(Related Photos: Pros Affected by the Anchor Ban)
It is this single-minded focus that makes Bradley one of the guys to beat this week. He came to Maui alone, arriving on New Year's Eve. He was asleep by 9:30. The day before our dinner was "literally my perfect day," Bradley says. He played a practice round alone, practiced for a while, worked out, watched a handful of episodes of "Breaking Bad" in his hotel room, had room service for dinner and was asleep by 9. Little wonder that Bradley's nickname among friends is "Grandpa."
He points out that he has plenty of fun during his off weeks, rolling with a big crew of college friends who more or less live with him in Jupiter, Fla. But when the lights go on, Bradley is consumed by an almost unhealthy fear of failure that he inherited from his aunt Pat, the LPGA Hall of Famer. "Whenever I go to a tournament, I feel underprepared, even though I've worked as hard as possible," he says. "I always feel I have something to prove."
In what passed for Bradley's off-season, he packed on 10 pounds of muscle thanks to a new devotion to fitness, and he dialed in his wedge game, putting a 60-degree wedge in his bag for the first time in his pro career. One thing he didn't mess with was his famous belly putter. Bradley is committed to using it for the foreseeable future, and the attendant controversy only has him more fired up. Opening day is finally here, and Bradley knows that the Hyundai — with its tiny field — is a golden opportunity to continue his ascent into the big time.
"Since I have no family, I feel like I should be the most prepared of the guys here," he says. "I'm ready to play."
