Libraries and Archives
The following is a snapshot of some of the organisations that offer film libraries and archives
Inside the BFI's National Film and Television Archive
BBC Motion Gallery
BBC Motion Gallery is the BBC's agent for licensing all footage from its vast archive, with over 50,000 clips online for customers to search and download at bbcmotiongallery.com. To complement the core collection, BBC Motion Gallery is also the exclusive representative of the CBS News Archive and China Central Television.
BFI National Archive
The British Film Institute (BFI) is responsible for the UK's National Film and Television Archive. It also has extensive libraries of books, films, videos, stills and posters - this site explains how to access the material.
British Council Film Collection
The British Council Film Collection is an archive of over 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.
British Pathe Film Archive
The world's first digital news archive. British Pathe have re-catalogued and encoded their entire 3,500 hour film archive which covers news, sport, social history and entertainment from 1896 to 1970. You can also license higher resolution copies of the same items for PowerPoint presentations and web publishing. All content is free of charge for use by UK Maintained Schools in the classroom.
East Anglian Film Archive
This is the moving image archive for counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Film and Video Archive at the Imperial War Museum
Online access to over 23,000 Film and Video Archive catalogue records. A large proportion of material has been transferred to the Museum from the Services and other public bodies as the Archive is the official repository for such public record films.
The Federation of Commercial Audiovisual Libraries offers a free service finding experienced archive/film researchers to assist producers, which will probably cut down on litigation later.

Why choose Vertical Wire Balustrades? Vertical wire balustrades offer the same characteristics as horizontal wire balustrades such as free flowing air, no disruption of views, modern, sleek appearance but without the limitations on building regulations. Please note we recommend you always consult with your local Building Inspector to confirm your specific design and application will be allowed.
Due to natural deflection of wire, TECNI recommends maximum spacings of 80mm between vertical wires.
The system is designed to be DIY so that it can be installed without any specialist tools or training required and very little maintenance, if any is required.
Customer note: Depending on the look you are trying to achieve, TECNI can also recommend other suitable wire rope end fittings for vertical balustrading systems. Recently, for example, we designed a 3mm vertical balustrade system in Sue and Tim's house which featured on the BBC's programme "House That 100k Built : Final Fix".

About Us OLD
The late Peter Nance, then President of Camp Creative, a community organization dedicated to the promotion and development of creativity, founded the Bellingen Fine Music Festival in 2010. The Festival has been held annually since then and is now a major and highly anticipated event in the cultural calendar of the NSW Mid-North Coast.
The Festival has a strong reputation for its high quality and innovative program and is a long way toward achieving its vision to be a significant regional music festival in the Australian calendar, presenting high quality music from differing classical traditions and performed by a diversity of established, emerging and local artists. Partially through the growing Fringe program, the original repertoire scope has been successfully widened to include classical, jazz, contemporary and world music.
A particular aim of the Festival is to engage, enrich and inspire young and upcoming musicians whether they are still at school, studying music or actively building their professional careers. We regularly work with Music Viva in achieving this aim and very much appreciate its support. These young rising stars tell us they love coming to our festival and enthusiastically engaging with our community.
A unique and distinctive feature of the Bellingen Fine Music Festival is its Music-by-Youth Project, which is coming into its third year thanks to financial support from the Australian Government's Festivals Australia and the Camp Creative Board. This distinctive feature was initially the brainchild of young composer Andrew Batt-Rawden and we are grateful for his continued support of the Festival as publisher of Limelight Magazine. The Music-by-Youth Project supports and mentors local young musicians through performance in the Festival and participation in associated workshops. Music HSC students have been fortunate enough each year to have their works recorded and performed by the generous and supportive Acacia Quartet.
We are very proud of the fine young musicians of the Mid-North Coast and of our role, through the Music-by-Youth Project, in helping and supporting them and providing opportunities not only for them to perform in a professional setting, but also to have their compositions recorded and performed by a professional ensemble. Composer Paul Jarman acted as a mentor to the students and in 2016. He was also the Festival's Composer-In-Residence and the local Bellingen Youth Orchestra performed his stirring composition, Wuuban Barri, at the 2016 Festival. Sally Whitwell is our 2017 composer.
The Festival is grateful for the support of the community. We receive much support in kind as well as financial support from the Bellingen Shire Council, Camp Creative and the Regional Arts Fund, an Australian Government initiative that supports sustainable cultural development in regional, remote and very remote Australia.

An Ideal Husband is one of Wilde's stronger plays. Excellent drama, strong characters, worthwhile themes well explored and a truly heart-warming portrayal of marriage.
P.S. That's the Wilde plays finally done. Next week: something else!
This is the fourth Wilde play I've read so the idea is quite clear to me now: An Ideal Husband is set in Victorian England and deals with some issue of the English upper class. This time it's blackmail, politics and public image and by now I'm fairly certain that that Wilde saw English society as two-faced and hypocritical. Alongside The Importance of Being Earnest (click here), An Ideal Husband is considered to be one of Wilde's greatest plays.
An Ideal Husband begins at the house of Sir Robert Chiltern, a wealthy bureaucrat in the ministry of foreign affairs (but a good guy, so they say). At his own dinner party, Robert is introduced to Mrs Cheveley, a sketchy businesswoman. When the two get a moment alone, Mrs Cheveley reveals that she knows Robert's dirty secret: that in his youth, he made a fortune off the stock market by selling a state secret to a baron (the plot thickens!). Mrs Cheveley isn't going to tell anyone, she claims… well as long as Robert lies to foreign affairs. You see, she's invested a large sum of money into a crappy canal project and unless Robert convinces his superiors that the project is great she'll lose a lot of money. So Robert just has to tell this one lie, or his secret will come out and his political career is over. But stock market scandals aside, Robert wants to be an honourable man. And his wife, Gertrude, thinks the world of him and her image of him would be tarnished if she found out what he did in his youth. So lie and keep hidden his one big mistake or tell the truth and have it come out? Did I mention that Gertrude also has a history with Mrs Cheveley?
An Ideal Husband is Robert's moral dilemma: trying to do the right thing while avoiding ruin. And its about his wife, Gertrude, having to come to terms with the fact that Robert isn't perfect. There's a tendency for Wilde to become cynical when he's serious but that doesn't happen in An Ideal Husband. Instead, it's refreshing to see the portrayal of Robert and Gertrude Chiltern as a wholesome married couple having to come to terms with Robert's past. And Lord Goring, Robert's close friend and an idle British dandy, is one of the most honourable characters to be found in Wilde's works.
I suppose I should mention that the play is good. Really good. It's a little longer and more serious than Wilde's other works, but one of his strongest. Less wit this time, but more drama. Criticisms: some of the sentiments expressed in the last act might seem quite sexist to a modern reader. Gender roles were different back then, I suppose. Not likeable, but different.
An Ideal Husband is one of Wilde's stronger plays. Excellent drama, strong characters, worthwhile themes well explored and a truly heart-warming portrayal of marriage.

The rehabilitation department provides evidence-based, individualized physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy by expert, compassionate professionals in a collaborative, positive and supportive environment. Services are provided in an outpatient setting or if indicated in the inpatient setting. Our experienced therapists use and help to develop the most advanced knowledge in rehabilitation techniques to ensure they always provide evidence-based practice.
Physical therapy is an important component of care for many conditions. Physical therapy helps children improve their level of function so they can be as independent as possible. Each patient's program is tailored to his or her individual needs and developmental abilities. Family involvement is highly encouraged and crucial. Physical therapy services may include teaching safe methods of transporting/transferring patients after surgery; instruction about appropriate exercises to increase strength and mobility, including walking, adaptive activities and training to use an assistive device, brace or prosthesis. When the goal is to learn to sit, stand or walk, improve wheelchair skills or use new prostheses, our team of physical therapists are here to help. In their therapy sessions, patients are taught how to strengthen their muscles, how to walk with a new walker or crutches, how to take care of themselves and how to be safe all in a fun environment.
Occupational therapists work with children to enable and promote their engagement in typical childhood activities. Those activities may be related to self-care, improved hand skills, play, school or recreation. By way of occupational therapy, children can increase their participation in meaningful activities, promote, and maintain their health and well-being. Our occupational therapists are skilled in assessing and rehabilitating children born with conditions that affect their participation, as well as rehabilitating children that have been injured or had surgery. In therapy sessions, the occupational therapist will design and implement interventions to address functional challenges. The occupational therapist may make customized braces/splints to assist with positioning, aid specific activities or to protect a child's extremity after a surgical procedure. They may also issue specialized equipment to increase a child's independence.
An important aspect of therapy is the use of recreation as a way to support medical treatment. Art therapy, aquatic therapy, pet therapy and horticulture are all approaches that support the child during the hospitalization. Leisure activities and events are planned by the recreational therapist to enhance health, functional abilities, independence and quality of life.
Child life therapy is available to reduce the stresses associated with staying in the hospital and to teach patients coping skills through offering opportunities to play, learn and interact with others in an emotionally and socially safe environment. Play experiences help children express fears and misconceptions of hospitalization and medical procedures. Services include procedural support, pain management techniques, pre-op teaching prior to surgery, group activities and education about upcoming procedures/hospital visits.
Music therapists evaluate patient's needs and develop an individual treatment plan. Patients can be treated throughout their episode of care, exposing them to the healing impact of music therapy. Focused patient treatment plans assist with pain management, anxiety management and reduction in trauma symptoms, as well as body image, improving motor skills and many quality of life issues.
Speech therapists provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic treatment for speech, language and swallowing disorders. We also provide low tech and high tech assistive technology services.
Children who require aggressive rehabilitation services, but not inpatient care, participate in this program. This program consists of half-day or full-day of goal-directed therapies that are described above.
Children admitted to the acute inpatient rehabilitation program are children who have functional deficits due to illnesses, disease or other disruptions to typical development and have the potential to improve function through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. To qualify for these services the child or young adult must be able to participate in at least three hours of intensive therapy per day and require other supportive services to meet defined functional goals.

All too often, smaller agencies lack a clearly articulated growth strategy.
For most firms, growth is essentially an organic process, Clients are won through RFPs, search consultants, or new business is added from within your existing client base through the addition of a new service or line of business or a desire to extend business through digital channels.
Of these options, the biggest opportunity for firms with your ambition are in the digital space.
In a survey of more than 2,000 firms and business executives completed in early 2017, Forbes noted that the top three issues driving growth were:
- digital transformation
- innovation
- development of digital services
For agencies committed to driving customer engagement and increasing revenue, there is only one way to respond to these business challenges — digital expertise.
The good news is that there is a way for you to stay on the bleeding edge of technology without having to add overhead or invest in the type of software development which may not be a core competency for your company today.
By partnering with Creative Chaos, you can easily bridge the digital divide between the lack of expertise and in-depth-experience that are necessary to do the programming work that's required to grow your client's business and add that sought-after revenue to your bottom line.
Because we're a trusted partner, there is complete transparency between you and us, and your objectives really do become ours as well.
Imagine if you had the capability to respond to client opportunities with confidence rather than dealing with the feeling of anxiety that "this really isn't something we do."
As an agency, your business will rise or fall based on your ability to turn the latest tech trends into reality and problems into solutions.
The solution we're offering isn't outsourcing.
Instead, it's a brand new way to give your agency the velocity it needs to grow.
What would your agency do if it had the chops to cross the digital divide with confidence?

antoniolupi ALBUME
antoniolupi ALBUME
Albume is the freestanding washbasin designed by Carlo Colombo that alternates between a solid base that expresses strength and a transparent and colored basin that leaves water as the protagonist. The transparent resin Cristalmood allows to create the basin of the sink, available in two different shapes that define a more slender image or on the contrary softer and welcoming. The refined color contrasts between the upper part and the infinite variations of the marble used for the base allow you to customize the sink and give a specific character to the whole. Precisely in this sense, Albume fits perfectly into refined bathrooms, in which its materials harmonize with the surfaces and other elements of the composition of the space. The base made in Bianco Carrara or Nero Marquinia marble to give more elegance and prestige to a project and to dialogue with walls, floors or work surfaces. Lightness and solidity, rigor and expressiveness, material and color. Poetry of opposites, the balance that arises from the superposition of geometric shapes, a perfect and proportional relationship between the parts. CRISTALMOOD Cristalmood, the new transparent resin in various color variants studied and patented by antoniolupi, allows to create the basin of the sink, available in two different shapes that define a more slender image or on the contrary softer and welcoming. The refined color contrasts between the upper part and the infinite variations of the marble used for the base allow you to customize the sink and give a specific character to the whole. antoniolupi has distinguished itself on the Italian and International markets for their bathroom furnishings projects. A reality that continues to develop due to investments in technology and creativity as well as collaboration with international architects and the capability of design and innovation. Cristalmood is the new material, result of the antoniolupi research, is added to Flumood and Quarzomood. Baptized Cristalmood due to its transparency and sheen, a new generation colored resin, resistant and versatile. Cristalmood is perfect to produce sinks combined with the most diverse materials, achieving refined color combinations, as in the case of Carlo Colombo's freestanding sinks Albume and the bathtube Reflex (AL Studio Design).
Colors: Fumè, Petrolio, Nebbia, Ginger, Bottiglia, Sangria, Ocra, Lime, Cobalto and Ambra. Cristalmood is a colored resin, transparent with a glossy finish, composed of high quality polyester resin and coloring pigments; has passed the anti-corrosion tests (salt spray) and can be cleaned with all the most common detergents, also resisting to rubbing alcohol, acetone, oils, gasoline or diesel fuel. Thanks to the composition, objects made from Cristalmood weigh about 30% less than those made with solid surfaces such as our own Flumood. Cristalmood, given its extraordinary characteristics, has already been used on a larger scale to make Reflex, the new bathtub by AL Studio design. The bath Reflex is characterised by neat shapes and colours, harmony and minimalism. Reflex is the first transparent bathtube by antoniolupi made of Cristalmood, the new material patent antoniolupi.

Volkswagen Group models to be electrified by 2025
All 300 models in the Volkswagen Group range will come with electrification from 2030.
The announcement means that vehicles from car manufacturers such as Audi, Seat and Skoda will have all-electric or hybrid versions.
The company will spend £18 bn pounds on new electric car platforms, charging infrastructure and battery technology. This will include 80 all-new electrified models by 2025, 30 of which will be plug-in hybrids and 50 pure electric.
Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen said: "We have got the message and we will deliver. This is not some vague declaration of intent. It is a strong self-commitment, which, from today, becomes the yardstick by which we measure our performance.
"The transformation in our industry is unstoppable. And we will lead that transformation."
VW also announced it is currently looking into battery technology, tackling the issue of battery range, especially as VW's fleet alone will need 150 gigawatt hours of ion batteries by 2025. To put that into context, this translates to 150 million watts worth of power.
Müller added: "For us, the transformation of transportation and the energy transition are inseparable. And creating a comprehensive charging infrastructure rapidly – in cities and on highways – will be critical to success.
"In Europe, and particularly in the automotive stronghold of Germany, much more needs to be done. Only then will customers' trust grow. And only then will electric cars come out of the niche – and achieve relevant market share in years to come.
"I'm convinced this will succeed if politicians, the energy industry and automakers work in harness."

Three statisticians went deer-hunting with bows and arrows. They crept through the forest until they spotted a magnificent buck. The first statistician shot, and his arrow landed five meters to the right of the deer. The second one shot, and her arrow landed five meters to the left of it. So the third one jumped out of the bushes and shouted "We got him! We got him!"

As a member of NCIP since 2007, Paige has served as lead attorney in two cases resulting in exonerations and was an important member of the legal team that secured the exonerations of two additional men. All four exonerees were convicted of murder and together served over 65 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. Paige also second-chaired a trial in which the client was acquitted of homicide charges. At NCIP, Paige works with and supervises law students. Together, they investigate claims of innocence, interview witnesses and clients, draft and argue motions for DNA testing and petitions for writs of habeas corpus, and exonerate the wrongfully convicted. Paige also speaks to various organizations and audiences about the causes of wrongful convictions and assists exonerees in integrating back into the world.
Prior to working at the Innocence Project, Paige interned at the Contra Costa Alternate Defender's Office as a law clerk and worked for the Institute for Global Justice researching ways to sue and prosecute oil companies and banks associated with extreme human rights abuses.

Between the complexity of the subject matter and a desire to project an image of professionalism and trust, banking can be boring.
But online banking videos shouldn't be.
So say the creative minds behind the award-winning series of animated videos produced for IC Federal Credit Union, Fitchburg, Mass.
The $489 million asset institution developed its first-ever such targeted campaign in 2012, enlisting the advertising agency James & Matthew + Co. to capture the fancy of Gen Y.
The six-video series, which yielded more than 700,000 views on YouTube and increased credit union membership among that demographic 51% over two years, stays true to agency partner Jim Pond's first commandment for the platform: What's right for TV isn't right for online video.
"It's not like TV, where you have a captive audience," Pond says. "You can't just repurpose TV efforts for online."
Keep these five insights in mind when developing your next online video concept:
1. Choose your audience
As Abraham Lincoln said, you can't please all of the people all of the time—so don't bother trying.
Instead, target a specific demographic and cater to their tastes. Aim to create a product that viewers can't wait to share with their friends on social media.
IC Federal "really understood that if you make something that appeals to everyone, it appeals to no one, and it does nothing," Pond says. "They knew the market they were going after, and they were kind enough to give us enough creative leeway to actually execute for them."
2. Entertain while informing
The agency dressed up important credit union messages in irreverent and culturally relevant packaging.
One video (above) featured a steady stream of bleeps over "The 'S' Word" to satirize Gen Y's reluctance to discuss the benefits of saving.
Another illustrated the benefits of life insurance—especially in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
"Financial videos are not typically noted for their 'entertainment factor' and sometimes a more serious approach is necessary," says Pati Maguy, marketing specialist for IC Federal. "When targeting a specific demographic, however, you have to take the time to consider what it is that will not only grab their attention, but hold their attention while viewing your video. Otherwise, what's the point?"
3. Captivate immediately
Studies show that people's attention spans for online video begin to drop off dramatically after 60 seconds—but a sizable number get turned off in the first 5 seconds. So, focus on making a good first impression, and don't save your best material for later.
"When you look at online video—not specific to the credit union or financial market, but pretty much everywhere—you have a massive graveyard of failure," Pond says. "The primary reason most things are horribly unwatchable isn't because they're produced incorrectly or didn't have a good initial idea, but simply because they don't hold the viewer for any given length of time."
4. Push the envelope before pulling back
To get the most of their relationship with an ad agency, a credit union should put as few limitations as possible on the front end of the creative process, because generally speaking, increasing risk increases the reward.
Remember, there is a safety net: You have the final word on the final product.
"Originally, the 'S-Word' script was far more filled with innuendo and incredibly risqué," Pond says. "Our job as an advertising agency is to take our clients to very edge of their comfort and have them pull us back a little bit.
"A great thing about IC Federal is they had courage to allow us to do multiple revisions on the script and eventually send that video out there."
5. Don't go half-way
It's not easy to make good online video, but many organizations refuse to invest the proper planning and resources, figuring that having clips of some sort on their sites is better than not having any.
That thinking generally produces lousy content that no one watches.
"There are many 'dead' videos taking up cyber space, providing no value to the intended consumer, that ultimately prove a total waste of time and money," Maguy says. "If you're going to take the leap and put yourself out there for the world to see, then it's best to take the time and money to do it right than to publish a few low-end videos for the sake of exposure. In the end, you will find yourself among the best."

A hot debate in the plumbing world is which is better: a tankless water heater or a traditional water heater? There isn't a clear winner overall, but instead, the best choice depends on what each home needs from a water heater. You should understand how each water heater works and their advantages and disadvantages. Once you understand both options, you can make the best choice for your home and family. If you have further questions, contact Estes Services and speak with one of our knowledgeable plumbing professionals!
Tankless Water Heater
Tankless water heaters heat water as it moves through the system. This means the tankless water heater will only heat the necessary amount of water you need and not waste energy storing unused hot water. Tankless water heaters are also known as "on demand" water heaters because they heat water only when it's needed.
A tankless water heater uses a powerful heat exchanger to transfer heat from one source to another, increasing the water temperature. This heat exchanger is only activated by the flow of incoming water. The incoming water is heated to your preset temperature while it circulates through the heat exchanger. You have the option of installing a tankless system powered by electricity, propane or natural gas.
A tankless system can last up to 20 years depending on how well it's maintained. As the name states, the unit has no bulky tank and takes up less space than a traditional water heater. A tankless unit avoids any standby heat loss because it's not wasting energy trying to keep a constant temperature.
Advantages of a Tankless Water Heater
- Last 5 to 10 years longer than traditional water heaters
- More efficient with zero standby heat loss
- Never run out of hot water
- Flexible installation, such as on walls, outdoors, under cabinets or in closets
- Increased efficiency, resulting in lower water heating bills
- Remote controls are available for some models with up to four separate settings
- No flooding possibility
Disadvantages of a Tankless Water Heater
- Hot water output split between all fixtures
- Costs considerably more than a traditional water heater
- Expensive stainless-steel tubing for venting gas and propane
- Additional circuit for electric models
- Additional natural gas line might be necessary
- Additional expense to service gas units
- Increased lag time to heat the water
- Minimum flow rate of .5 GPM to activate heat exchanger
Traditional Water Heater
A traditional water heater has been the most popular option for decades. A traditional water heater has a large tank that holds water and heats it continuously throughout the day and night. Heating the water constantly allows the water heater to maintain an even temperature at all times. The energy used to keep the water hot while it's not in use is referred to as standby heat loss.
A traditional water heater allows you to use hot water in several different places of your home at the same time without running out of hot water. Modern water heaters are more efficient compared to older models and you can add insulation to your tank to boost its efficiency further. The life expectancy of a traditional water heater is between 10 and 15 years.
Advantages of a Traditional Water Heater
- Less expensive than tankless water heaters
- Fewer installation complications
- Easy maintenance twice a year
- Easily adapted to other applications, such as re-circulation and solar pre-heat
- Less expensive to replace
Disadvantages of a Traditional Water Heater
- Larger tank requires more space for installation
- Limited hot water supply
- Additional storage tanks might be necessary larger or busy households
- Increased energy and higher standby heat loss
The debate about tankless and traditional water heaters may be undecided, but only you know what's best for you and your family. Contact Estes Services for help weighing the pros and cons to determine which water heater is best for your home. Our plumbing professionals will install your new system quickly and answer any questions about your new equipment.

Nancy Pelosi says more jobs created in Obama's first year than eight years of George W. Bush
During a May 16, 2011, interview with Bloomberg television, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., praised President Barack Obama's record on jobs while taking a shot at former President George W. Bush.
"We got in this situation where we had tax cuts for the wealthiest people in our country, which did not create jobs," she said. "In the first year of the Obama administration, more jobs were created in the private-sector than in the eight years of the Bush administration, with all of the tax cuts that President Bush had."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the economy shed almost 4.2 million private-sector jobs during the first year of the Obama administration -- January 2009 through January 2010.
Meanwhile, during eight years under Bush, the economy gained a net 188,000 private sector jobs.
So while job growth under Bush was anemic by historical standards, it was still better than the 4.2 million jobs lost under Obama. That means Pelosi was wrong.
A Pelosi spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, told PolitiFact that Pelosi simply misstated a talking point that she'd used many times before. In one variation provided by her office, Pelosi sent out a news release that said in part, "America has had 12 consecutive months of private-sector job gains totaling 1.5 million. That is more private-sector jobs than were added in the eight years of the Bush Administration."
But when we checked a similar incarnation of this talking point, we only gave it a Half True -- technically correct, but misleading due to cherry picking.
Pelosi was right that the economy created 847,000 jobs during the period she indicated. But she would have been incorrect if she'd cited total employment rather than private-sector employment. And she chose her starting and ending dates in a way that was highly favorable to Obama and unfavorable to Bush. Pelosi essentially started counting from the low point for jobs and only counted the upward part of the trendline, while denying Bush the same method.
This time, in talking to Bloomberg TV, Pelosi didn't even get the statistic technically correct. So we rate it False.

"You can't be a world changer until you serve. And you can't serve until you break free of your comfort zone." –Ann Voskamp
I think back to the daily conversations I had as a principal. In the first few months, I would go home sick to my stomach worrying about the impact of an interaction I had with a teacher, or fretting over a conversation I needed to have with an underperforming staff member. I knew what was at stake- the students and their learning.
And then I had to ask myself - where did my priorities lie? Was this about taking the right steps, being perfect (or so I thought) in my communication? Or were my priorities to lead a school and provide staff and students with a safe environment to make mistakes, learn, and grow together?
I made the decision to have the conversations that I knew I needed to have and it wasn't easy. I stumbled through many conversations at first, and more days than not, my conversations were risky. I showed up authentically, sometimes sharing news with teachers that was hard for them to hear. No one likes to hear, "you are not meeting the expectation" or "our students deserved to have high performing staff members." Sometimes the conversations would end in tears. I made it my priority to be real, say what needed to be said with compassion, and to follow up the next day to continue to invest in the relationship.
As I had more conversations, the trust began to build even when the topic was tough. My teachers knew I cared about them and the students.
I think back and would not change a thing. I had to struggle through the conversations to learn. Most importantly, if we did not have the conversations, we would not have had a foundation to build our relationships on. I would have failed the staff and students.
Today I make speaking with candor, clarity and compassion a priority. My team is my most valuable asset and as their leader I will continue to develop each and every relationship with conversations.
Classroom Tip: Take a moment to consider how much you're investing in relationships with your students. Think about a conversation you want to have and consider how you can be real, and say what needs to be said with compassion. One conversation can change the trajectory for a student. What conversation can you have to inspire?

With the 2014 fantasy baseball rankings for every position done, we turn our lazy eye towards the top 100 for 2014 fantasy baseball. These 2014 fantasy baseball rankings are one part fresh and two parts to def. They own a cat, a dog and a lizard in a two bedroom apartment where pets aren't allowed. Know why? Cause they don't care! None of this top 100 for 2014 fantasy baseball is meant to surprise. *jumping out of a closet* Boo! Now, that was meant to surprise. This top 100 is just taking my positional rankings and putting guys in The Big Picture. You really should read each ranking post because the blurbs in this top 100 are on the skimpy side because there's so many of them, and I went over each one of these guys already. Obviously at a hundred players, some guys just didn't make it. About 300, to be inexact. It's okay; there will be a top 400 tomorrow. Shortly, Sloth, you'll have your Baby Ruth. Not to get all biblical on you, but this is the gospel. Print it out and take it to Mt. Sinai and it will say, "Win your 2014 fantasy baseball league, young prematurely balding man." Projections were done by me and a crack team of 100 monkeys fighting amongst themselves because there were only 99 typewriters. Somebody please buy Ling-Ling his own typewriter! To help with your drafting, there's also a list of players with multiple position eligibility. Anyway, here's the top 100 for 2014 fantasy baseball:
1. Mike Trout – I've never owned Miggy and will probably say the same about Trout in seven years. Stupid auction leagues and $50 bidding. By the by, I'm not sure how many of you read this far — probably 2% — but auction values will be in the top 400. As the 90's porn title says, things that make you go boing. 2014 Projections: 115/30/102/.319/35
2. Miguel Cabrera – I bet I'll get a chance to own Miggy the year he finally falls apart. It's Daniel Murphy's Law. The adage that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong while scoring 80+ runs with no power. 2014 Projections: 97/36/112/.319/2
3. Paul Goldschmidt – I wonder if my love affair with Au Shizz will get Giancarlo jealous and push him to play 162 games and hit 50+ homers. Or if Giancarlo will just send me a bittersweet emoji and we'll laugh about it later while laying by the fireplace on a bear skin rug. 2014 Projections: 92/34/110/.295/11
4. Andrew McCutchen – Just a word about this top 100 before we get too deep into it. I went over my thoughts about every player in their positional rankings. McCutchen is in the top 10 for 2014 fantasy baseball. I'm not going to repeat myself. This post will be mostly about drafting of the players in a general sense. That's not General Sensei, who committed seppuku in 1946. 2014 Projections: 91/25/94/.320/24
5. Adam Jones – I'd be more than happy to get Jones 5th overall, but I do get the sense that you can probably draft him as late as 12 to 15th overall. I will say it was a lot nicer last year when I was able to get Cano, Jones and Goldschmidt in the first three rounds. That's the problem with being ahead of the curve, it comes back to get you in the end — that's what she said! 2014 Projections: 94/32/105/.282/15
6. Robinson Cano – Went over my Robinson Cano fantasy when he took the money and ran to Seattle. Hoping his time in Seattle doesn't end with Stephen slapping him and throwing his teddy bear into the water. 2014 Projections: 84/26/105/.312/4
7. Prince Fielder – Went over my Prince Fielder fantasy when he went to the Rangers. I wrote it high on 'ludes. 2014 Projections: 89/33/108/.282/1
8. Carlos Gonzalez – CarGo + 162 games = That old guy who lives next door that calls you Buddy Boy. Hmm, my math is wrong there. Supposed to equal the most valuable fantasy player. 2014 Projections: 91/28/92/.307/20
9. Chris Davis – I was very close to dropping Davis further down, but 'capable of 50+ homers' gets you in the top ten. For those wondering about Davis vs. Fielder. Fielder will hit for a higher average, get more RBIs and runs. Davis will hit more homers, but he needs to hit 10+ for me to flip-flop them and I just don't buy we see another year from Davis like we just did. Honestly — like Grey Albright would lie to you — I think I'm being generous with my Davis projections. 2014 Projections: 83/39/104/.259/3
10. Bryce Harper – This will be the last time you'll be able to draft Harper without using a top 5 draft pick. Bible. 2014 Projections: 86/29/101/.291/17
11. Evan Longoria – I participated in a 'pert mock draft where Matt Carpenter went before Longoria. Sure, it was by Brad Evans, but still it shows a few things A) You can get Longoria a bit later in some drafts if you wait. B) The Noise is hitting the sauce. C) There's no C. 2014 Projections: 96/31/103/.273/3
12. Albert Pujols – Bit surprised by the early returns on drafting to see Pujols so low. Last year was the first year he missed significant time and was still on his way to 30+ homers and 100 RBIs+. With plantar fascitis behind him (under him?), he should be able to cruise to a productive year or Arte Moreno's going to be eating Chef Boyardee out of his gold-plated bowls. 2014 Projections: 90/30/104/.277/4
13. Joey Votto – I'd be thrilled to get Votto 13th overall. In fact, I hung balloons from my rafters to release when I do get Votto 13th overall to capture the moment. 2014 Projections: 89/26/102/.309/7
14. Jose Bautista – He's basically Giancarlo's power without the Triple-A lineup around him. *seeing Rafael Furcal on top of the Marlins lineup* Excuse me, the AARP-led lineup. The Marlins: the best team that money found in a homeless person's pocket can buy! 2014 Projections: 85/35/100/.255/5
15. Ryan Braun – The Hebrew Hammer will be on a Yom Kippur-inspired journey where he puts the repent in resplendent and drops a D in amens. 2014 Projections: 88/24/94/.280/15
16. Hanley Ramirez – Been seeing him drafted way before this slot. How quick the world forgets about his two good, but not great years previously and how he didn't even stay healthy in 2013. I smell an overrated post on the horizon. 2014 Projections: 87/25/94/.272/18
17. Adrian Beltre – He's due for a season-ending injury in June and a disappointing year. That's a reverse jinx. If I don't draft him this year, I will do my best to reverse reverse jinx that. 2014 Projections: 85/31/104/.303/1
18. Edwin Encarnacion – I do have a pit in my stomach that if I finally own Encarnacion, he's going to disappoint, but he's done nothing recently to substantiate those fears. FTE! That's 'For The Edwin.' 2014 Projections: 87/32/97/.269/7
19. Yasiel Puig – There will be no pig-inspired puns this year as long as he hits. Pweega, please! 2014 Projections: 90/28/94/.285/20
20. Jay Bruce – May all your teams have Bruce this year and may you be out of the country when he's in one of his 1-for-56 skids. 2014 Projections: 95/34/112/.272/7
21. Clayton Kershaw – The first pitcher off the board and only about eighteen spots after his ADP. Yeah, you're not gonna own Kershaw this year. It's all right; there's only about sixty-five other pitchers to own. 2014 Projections: 17-6/2.65/1.03/222
22. Troy Tulowitzki – The funniest is when I tell people to sell him in July after his 15-homer month and his owners are outraged that I'd consider him a candidate for an injury. Outraged, I tell ya. 2014 Projections: 81/27/92/.305/2
23. Giancarlo Stanton – I don't think I've had Stanton this low since his rookie year and even then we shared a milkshake and by 'milkshake' I mean sex and by 'shared' I mean I watched him undress through binoculars. He's capable of 40+ homers, but I need to see better health before I pull a Helen Keller and turn a blind eye to his last two years. 2014 Projections: 79/36/89/.264/4
24. Yu Darvish – Here's the good news. There's a lot of guys to choose from in my 3rd round. The bad news is some of these guys might be off the board already. See, all 3rd rounds aren't created equal. No matter how many times Ron Shandler marches in Washington. 2014 Projections: 17-10/2.78/1.11/238
25. Freddie Freeman – I'm looking forward to owning Freeman on at least one team this year. That's half to do with Freeman and half to do with not wanting to trust my 1st base slot to Eric Hosmer. 2014 Projections: 85/25/102/.288/2
26. Justin Upton – The Upton Bros. had a worse 2013 than The Mario Bros. (Mario Joyner and Mario Lopez; they're brothers from different mothers.) 2014 Projections: 88/25/79/.270/12
27. David Wright – I'm guessing he's gonna go slightly earlier than I'm gonna take him. I'm okay with that, and not just because he dissed Cougar Life. I don't really trust him completely to reach my projections. The one SNAFU in all this is 3rd base is fugly with a capital FU. 2014 Projections: 84/22/93/.303/15
28. Jean Segura – Damn, 2013 was such a great year for my rankings and projections it has really screwed me up this year. I want Segura to be ranked 140-something again! 2014 Projections: 84/10/51/.287/40
29. Alex Rios – The River Alex gets no respect and I'm not sure there's a fully formed reason. I think it's because he makes it seem so effortless it comes off as insouciance. No one wants to be around someone who's indifferent, no matter what Neil Strauss says. River was the 7th best outfielder last year and has produced similar numbers four of the last five years and five for the last seven. It's conceivable that I will have drafted three Rangers leaving the 4th round, which I'm not against. 2014 Projections: 91/17/74/.284/30
30. Jacoby Ellsbury – I picture someone else drafting Ellsbury before I get to him. That picture has me photobombing it. For further reading on the subject, my Jacoby Ellsbury fantasy. 2014 Projections: 98/13/57/.279/32
31. Felix Hernandez – I'm sure you'll be tempted to draft F-Her, but there's a ton of pitching. This is a trust exercise, you need to close your eyes and wait a few more rounds for a pitcher. 2014 Projections: 16-4/2.82/1.10/224
32. Max Scherzer – We'll get him next year when he has a 3.50 ERA and a 3.35 xFIP. Until then, we'll watch him from 500 feet away. 2014 Projections: 17-8/3.01/1.12/232
33. Jason Kipnis – His projections look like he could be a lot higher but I just can't move him up as long as he does a number two for half a season. Maybe this is the year he puts together six months of solid hitting. Maybe it's the year that he struggles in the 1st half like he does in the 2nd. Maybe instead of chewing gum, you chew bacon. 2014 Projections: 90/19/92/.269/27
34. Dustin Pedroia – If your league has a category for Being Able To See The Dust Under The Counter's Ledge, Pedroia gets a small bump in value. 2014 Projections: 93/14/89/.298/18
35. Ryan Zimmerman – To pick up with what I said in the Wright blurb — go refresh your memory by rereading Wright's blurb and then come back; good, but you sure did take a while, did you also go to the bathroom? — 3rd base is a mess. But it's only a complete mess early on. It's deep later. Check out the top 20 3rd basemen for 2014 fantasy baseball for further discussion. I don't necessarily want, say, Sandoval, but you can draft him sometime around pick 120 after not being able to get him after pick 60 for some years. So, just wait on 3rd base. 2014 Projections: 86/25/91/.279/4
36. Ian Desmond – I'm usually drafting outfielders around this point, but I could see mixing it up this year and grabbing a shortstop. A part of me is worried that could come back to bite me and it could have rabies and then I get crazy eyes and a grow a shaggy beard which totally obscures the luster of my 'stache. 2014 Projections: 71/20/87/.271/17
37. Stephen Strasburg – Stay strong and draft another hitter, even though we both know Strasburg will probably be a top 20 pick next year. 2014 Projections: 16-7/2.79/1.04/202
38. Adam Wainwright – Last year was the time to draft Wainwright; you missed out on him. It's okay, this is the year to draft Teheran. Then next year Teheran will be undraftable and Porcello will be draftable. Draft for the current year not the one that just passed. 2014 Projections: 17-10/2.88/1.05/204
39. Shin-Soo Choo – Went over my Shin-Soo Choo fantasy. I wrote it while fulfilling my obligation to the South Korean military. 2014 Projections: 101/20/59/.277/20
40. Elvis Andrus – Okay, maybe I'll have six Rangers in the first five rounds. I'm not even sure how that will work, but I know that during the year I'm going to be screaming at my TV for Ron Washington to stop doing so much coke and start running his baserunners. 2014 Projections: 93/7/70/.279/34
41. Ian Kinsler – My usual modus operandi, as they say in Latin America, is to draft a 2nd baseman early and a shortstop late. That was in previous years when shortstop was shallow and 2nd base was deeper — yes, I draft against position scarcity. I'm leaning towards getting a shortstop early this year, but I'll take only one middle infielder early, whether it's 2nd base or shortstop doesn't really matter. If I get, say, Segura, I won't be drafting Kinsler. 2014 Projections: 103/16/74/.269/17
42. Jose Reyes – Capable of a bounce back, but betting on a 30-year-old, injury-prone speedster isn't necessarily the best way to go. I'm hoping to get Segura, Desmond or Andrus and be done with shortstops until much later for an MI. Or as Julie Andrews would say, an MI is a name I call my middle infielder. 2014 Projections: 87/13/56/.288/25
43. Madison Bumgarner – Check your stock portfolio and see how much money you lost today. It'll be more productive than drafting an early starter. 2014 Projections: 16-10/2.91/1.09/201
44. Cliff Lee – I get the feeling that The Adverb will be on one of our teams this year…Because Rudy will be drafting that team. 2014 Projections: 15-10/3.12/1.07/205
45. Justin Verlander – There's a chance he could continue to decline, so let someone else draft him and see if it happens. 2014 Projections: 16-9/3.05/1.09/224
46. Eric Hosmer – I'm thoroughly concerned about my ranking of Hosmer. It feels wrong. It feels like he's going to disappoint. Because I'm going on my gut and I have serious gas, I'm going to leave him here but I'm praying that I have a 1st baseman by this point and will wait until around Rizzo for a corner man. 2014 Projections: 89/18/98/.305/14
47. Wil Myers – At the end of last year, I said that due to Myers's hitting, he had made his way into the 80's for ADP in 2014. Well, I underestimated how much he was going to swoon February Grey. 2014 Projections: 78/25/90/.271/10
48. Starling Marte – In the off-off-off-Broadway production of The Silence of the Lambo, Andrew Lambo will be hunted by Starling after Lambo eats into Jose Tabata's playing time. Critics called it a tour de farce, but admitted to sleeping through the 2nd act. 2014 Projections: 91/15/40/.259/30
49. Alex Gordon – This guy is kinda lucky. On a different team — a better team with better depth — he probably would've been relegated to a 4th outfielder years ago. That's at least what the angel Clarence showed Gordon when he was standing on a bridge. Did you know every time a bell rings a Royals prospect gets his wings and is traded away? 2014 Projections: 84/23/92/.282/12
50. Carlos Gomez – Imagine if you draft Carlos Gonzalez and Carlos Gomez, the fun you could have with your team name! CarGoes? CarDeux? Two Carloses Garage? Okay, maybe not that much fun. 2014 Projections: 84/22/71/.259/35
51. Jose Fernandez – Now, reach down and remove the starting pitcher condom that you've been wearing for the first four rounds and make love to the starters. But only one. Show some restraint, you horn dog. Continued in the next blurb. 2014 Projections: 12-5/2.70/1.06/207
52. Chris Sale – Fernandez will probably be gone, and if you feel weak still on hitting, don't be afraid to skip this group of pitchers either. There will still be a ton of pitchers to take as your first one off the board. Let's take this to the next blurb. 2014 Projections: 12-9/2.89/1.09/217
53. Anibal Sanchez – Actually, that was all I had to say on that. I will give you a whole 'nother post on how to draft your rotation. Not to fear, over-the-internet friend. 2014 Projections: 15-10/3.04/1.14/206
54. Alex Cobb – This guy will be here for all the world to draft if you follow my rankings. In fact, you can probably wait four rounds and still get him. Someone is k-i-s-s-i-n-g'ing Alex Cobb in a tree and that'll be EM-E-I-N-G. 2014 Projections: 15-6/2.96/1.09/189
55. Hisashi Iwakuma – I was at a ramen place near my house the other day and I swear to God I heard someone saying, "Hisashi my dashi — slurp SLURP!" It's sweeping the nation! UPDATE: Iwakuma found a strained tendon in his hand rather than his soup and he will miss time. 2014 Projections: 10-6/3.59/1.10/145
56. Josh Donaldson – Reasonable price to pay for Donaldson here, but I'm going for my first pitcher or another hitter around this point and am waiting on 3rd basemen until after the top 100. 2014 Projections: 74/19/80/.290/4
57. Hunter Pence – Member when Hunter Pence was a 20-ish homer, 12-ish steal guy? You should since that's what he currently is. 2014 Projections: 83/24/90/.262/12
58. Homer Bailey – We're still firmly in a place where I'm drafting my first starter. Do I worry that my 'ace' will be Homer Bailey? A bit, but then my second pitcher will be Gerrit Cole, Sonny Gray or Danny Salazar and I just slipped into a bath filled with Calgon. 2014 Projections: 16-4/3.14/1.09/201
59. Julio Teheran – I imagine I'm gonna have a lot of teams with Cobb and Teheran, which doesn't completely make sense if you follow my rankings and how I say you don't want too much pitching, but at a certain point guys become bargains and Cobb and Teheran are not going to be drafted this high in most leagues. When Teheran or Cobb are still around in the 100's, then I pounce again. 2014 Projections: 15-7/3.12/1.15/191
60. Anthony Rizzo – You probably have one pitcher by this point and now I'm fine with you filling your corner infidel slot. I already went over my Anthony Rizzo sleeper. 2014 Projections: 82/28/92/.256/8
61. Adrian Gonzalez – Something's telling you that A-Gon is going to give a lot more value than this ranking. That same intuition tells you not to throw out your parachute pants because they could come back into fashion. 2014 Projections: 86/20/94/.285/1
62. Mark Trumbo – Went over my Mark Trumbo fantasy after he ended up in Arizona, where they let him past through their statewide fence. 2014 Projections: 74/33/89/.244/5
63. Jose Abreu – Went over my Jose Abreu fantasy. It was ghostwritten by his father, Bobby Abreu. 2014 Projections: 78/26/88/.268/2
64. David Price – Here's a small sub-section of pitchers that you're gonna ignore if they're there (stutterer!) and hopefully they've been drafted already. At this point, you should have one pitcher anyway, so these guys are redundant. 2014 Projections: 16-10/3.26/1.11/176
65. Zack Greinke – See 1/18th of an inch above or Price, David. 2014 Projections: 16-8/3.34/1.17/173
66. Matt Moore – See 1/18th of an inch above and follow directions from there. If you're bouncing back-and-forth in a never-ending circle of blurbs of Price, Greinke and Moore, don't forget to drink water, someone will be by soon to rescue you. 2014 Projections: 12-9/3.69/1.29/187
67. Carlos Beltran – Last year, he Zombino'd until about June then his year took a dive like his doppelganger's last fifteen years. "Hey, Claire, this is Ricky, Ricky from My So-Called Life. Yeah, I was thinking, with your baby daddy dead on Homeland, they could write me in as the live-in nanny. Claire? Oh, I got your number from the phone book." That's Beltran's doppelganger trying to revive his career. 2014 Projections: 78/24/88/.279/5
68. Gio Gonzalez – Wow, his projections look good. What was I thinking when I wrote up the top 20 starters for 2014 fantasy baseball? Oh, I remember now. Pitching is deeper than Octomom's birth canal. 2014 Projections: 16-9/3.28/1.19/202
69. Matt Holliday – Did he make the top 20 outfielders for 2014 fantasy baseball or did he get relegated to the top 40 for 2014 fantasy baseball? /wonky linkage done. 2014 Projections: 93/22/101/.292/5
70. Francisco Liriano – I've totally bought into the resurgence of Fran-Liri. Wow, that's about the weakest nickname since Joe Charboneau went by The Charboner. 2014 Projections: 14-9/3.24/1.25/188
71. Mike Minor – Like Maddux and Glavine this year, maybe in 25 years Mike Minor will get into the Hall of Fame with Julio Teheran. Or not. We'll never know. Stupid aliens invading in 2017. 2014 Projections: 15-10/3.47/1.11/187
72. David Ortiz – Note to self: Check eligibility for Ortiz and Butler. Note to self II: Erase the first note to self. 2014 Projections: 77/26/81/.278/2
73. Billy Butler – Fun fact! Billy Butler sells a BBQ sauce, it's called Moob Lube. 2014 Projections: 81/22/91/.294/1
74. Mat Latos – We should call him by his Asian name Matt Laos. 2014 Projections: 16-10/3.38/1.19/186
75. Jordan Zimmermann – Usually I stick to pitchers with a high K-rate, but you'd take the clothes off my back and I'd let you. You'd steal the food right out of my mouth and I'd watch you eat it. I still don't know why, why I love him so much, J-Z. 2014 Projections: 14-8/3.31/1.14/168
76. Michael Cuddyer – You know what they call someone who's looking for potassium and then chokes on a banana? A K-dyer. Take it, Highlights, it's yours! 2014 Projections: 70/21/81/.284/10
77. Allen Craig – Last chance for a corner man without having to resort to upside….Though that appears gorgeous in its brochures: The Upside Resort, where all your dreams will come true, until you actually get there. 2014 Projections: 75/19/91/.310/3
78. Jayson Werth – FWIWerth, I don't really want Werth. He'll probably be fine, but I'm going to be figuring out my corner slot or a starter at this point in the draft. 2014 Projections: 72/22/88/.279/10
79. Josh Hamilton – Yes, outfield is deep if you're wearing 2012 blinders, but remember if you owned Josh Hamilton, Matt Kemp and Heyward on the same team last year, you lost miserably. 2014 Projections: 78/24/89/.269/7
80. Billy Hamilton – I went into ranking him here hoping he was high enough that I'd have a chance to get him, but I just took part in a mock with some 'perts and he went 37th overall, so I ain't getting him. Here's my Billy Hamilton fantasy. 2014 Projections: 73/2/28/.250/67
81. Matt Kemp – I could see a situation where he's staring at me this late and I might not pull the trigger, but at a certain point it does become worthwhile to draft him. 2014 Projections: 71/22/76/.266/10
82. Jason Heyward – I half buried these guys and half left them where I might have a chance to draft them. I'm like Benson's tobacco partner, Hedges. 2014 Projections: 83/19/69/.273/10
83. Yoenis Cespedes – Yoenis rounds off the tier within this top 100 that you want to rebound. Due to where they're ranked elsewhere, Yoenis is (almost stutterer!) probably the only one I could get, but we'll see. Or not. Your choice. 2014 Projections: 70/25/85/.255/10
84. Jose Altuve – Be interesting to see if he can beat Eddie Gaedel's record of 476 steps to get to first base. 2014 Projections: 80/8/63/.292/33
85. Craig Kimbrel – There's no chance I'm drafting a top closer. I don't roll with $12 Salads. There's too many donkeycorns to get caught up in that. If you understood the preceding sentences, thanks for being a longtime reader! You get a cookie*. *You don't get a cookie. 2014 Projections: 6-2/2.03/0.91/92, 48 saves
86. Aroldis Chapman – Love me some Aroldis, but nothing's changed since Kimbrel's blurb. Kimbrel's Blurb was also my middle school band. You might remember our top 40 hit, "Hoes Want Me For My Lunch Money." 2014 Projections: 6-3/2.32/1.07/106, 46 saves
87. Kenley Jansen – By the by, I want to own Aroldis, Kimbrel and Jansen just like you want to own them. They're all dynamite. I feel the same pangs when drafting. I just don't give into my impulses. When drafting, you're like Cowboy Jon from The Real World: Los Angeles and $12 Salads are sex. Also, I didn't do a top 20 closers because Smokey ranks all the closers on the reg and closers are constantly moving in ranks, so it felt unnecessary. I did rank and project all of them in my top 400 that's coming tomorrow. 2014 Projections: 4-3/2.23/0.97/103, 39 saves
88. Jedd Gyorko – Here's where I'm aiming my 2nd base cross hairs and here's my Jedd Gyorko sleeper post. It's a doozy to end all doozies. 2014 Projections: 68/27/74/.259/2
89. Ben Zobrist – Burp. I'll draft him, but I'm hoping I already have Gyorko. 2014 Projections: 79/14/70/.268/14
90. Aaron Hill – I want Aaron Hill on every team, which could get complicated if I already have Gyorko. If Hill's ADP comes back much lower than this, I will be writing a sleeper post about how I want to sleep with him. Wait, what? No, that's right. 2014 Projections: 77/18/72/.281/9
91. Wilin Rosario – These next three guys should be sufficiently buried in my rankings. If they're not, drop them down another 50 spots. Don't draft a top catcher is written on a fortune that I carry around in my wallet (where money is supposed to be; try paying for something with that shizz!). 2014 Projections: 69/24/82/.272/4
92. Buster Posey – Check out what I'm about to write for Carlos Santana. 2014 Projections: 70/20/88/.308/2
93. Carlos Santana – Stop putting so much pressure on me Buster Posey's blurb! 2014 Projections: 79/23/85/.260/3
94. Brandon Phillips – If Phillips is here, I'd definitely draft him, but I could totally see a scenario where after I draft him, Sonny Gray is then immediately drafted and I jump out my window. Luckily I live on the first floor, which you knew, stalker! 2014 Projections: 79/17/86/.269/6
95. Matt Cain – He'll either check the falling rates at the door and stop the decline or he'll be Lincecum next year. Not as in he'll move to Colorado and upstairs from a weed dispensary, as in he'll drop lower in the rankings again. 2014 Projections: 14-11/3.49/1.15/179
96. James Shields – I don't hate Shields, but I like Fister a lot (I bet!) and may go into the rankings and flip-flop them as soon as I've posted my top 400. Yes, I periodically change little things in the rankings right through the end of March. 2014 Projections: 14-10/3.47/1.22/193
97. Doug Fister – I want Fister on every team…and Masterson…and Cole…and Gray…Geezus, there's a ton of pitchers. To read more about Fister, see the top 40 starters for 2014 fantasy baseball. 2014 Projections: 13-9/3.33/1.22/164
98. Pedro Alvarez – 3rd base is a damn mess. There's only four worthy 3rd base picks between 20 and 94. *looking at all the 3rd basemen after the top 100* Wait a second, it's not a mess; there's a ton of 3rd basemen after the top 100. Wait on them, guys and four girl readers. 2014 Projections: 65/31/89/.237/2
99. Justin Masterson – I'm pretty sure he'll get no love and you'll be able to draft him about 50 picks after this. If that's the case, I could see grabbing Cole first, then Gray then Masterson. Masterson is every bit worth this draft pick though. 2014 Projections: 12-10/3.51/1.22/191
100. Gerrit Cole – I would've wrote a Gerrit Cole sleeper post, but I don't think he's going to be a sleeper. Once drafting is in full swing and I see different, you'll get a post dedicated to Cole. Mark my words! Don't mark them with permanent ink! Now you've written on your computer screen. 2014 Projections: 14-9/3.18/1.12/191
101. Sonny Gray – I already gave you my Sonny Gray sleeper. I would've ranked him 20th overall if I knew he was going to be drafted 19th. That's how real I am. I am that real. Damn, got caught in a Seussian Möbius strip. Sorta like when an old person says to me, "Hey, sonny, Grey!" and I suddenly wanna make out with someone. Maybe that's how I ended up married to a Cougar. 2014 Projections: 13-7/3.32/1.17/195

Restaurant guide could be a bonus for downtown
Full-time lawmakers need to earn their keep
Restaurant guide could be a bonus for downtown
Dan Miner's recent story on downtown restaurants raises the question of how they can help draw more people into the city's core. This can be a huge plus for a city that is known for its many wonderful eating establishments.
Smart business owners should recognize the benefits of a cooperative effort and band together — even as they compete. An association of downtown restaurants could (and should) print a "Guide to Local Eateries" with a comprehensive listing to include names, locations, phone numbers, descriptive style and menu sampling, whether they cater or deliver, etc. These guides should then be made available in all area hotels/motels, Bed & Breakfasts, and, of course, the tourist information centers and Chamber of Commerce offices. The goal being to draw out-of-towners into downtown Utica and to explore all there is to offer.
Our downtown restaurants are all unique. They are not cookie-cutter chains. They are locally owned and operated. The money stays right here. Many are joining the ever-growing trend of using local food products — a trend that's blossoming and generating local jobs. From Tiny's Grill, Geisha II, Ancora! to the Blue Flag Room, Piers & Blake, The Cage, Thornberries Backstage, Stone Cellar Wine Bar, Lotus Garden, the Tailor & the Cook, and the local coffee shops … the list goes on. More will be added, too. All this is great for Utica and our local economy.
Nighttime activity in downtown Utica continues to grow. Turn on the lights. Bring in the crowds. We're open for business!
Full-time lawmakers need to earn their keep
The O-D's recent editorial regarding health insurance for part-time politicians requires a reply. Lambasting health insurance being provided for local politicians insinuates that that issue alone is a huge problem for local county governments. I think this line of reasoning is way off the mark.
Instead of turning this basic human requirement into a plush perk that only the wealthy deserve, should we not all agree that the power entrusted to our elected officials should be concentrated more on reforming the corrupt, for-profit health insurance industry?
Throughout my career in the private industry, health insurance was always a given. Unfortunately, that has changed. Health insurance is now one incentive to get people off the couch and run for public office which I know, first-hand, is a daunting task that the O-D loudly encourages.
Unfortunately, the salaries of these positions have remained static for decades.
Consolidation of government services is most definitely a necessity, however, until that that happens we need to focus on the issues that most of us have to wrestle with daily, the ridiculous cost of nearly everything modern life requires. Yet our full-time representatives refuse to address this fact while enjoying many more benefits than most.

All degrees issued by the partner UK University to the students having studied at BCA are:

Also PD 38 | 2010 is also amended and so all university degrees issued by universities of EU countries are professionally equivalent to those awarded by Greek universities or TEIs. Thus the holders of these awards have the same employment rights as holders of Greek public university degrees.
The recognition is not automatic and will be made through the Council for the Recognition of Professional Qualifications (SAEP) in the Ministry of Education.

Your shopping cart is empty!
Pets love the outdoors. It's full of all kinds of exciting smells and sights! However, not every pet can enjoy the outdoors safely or comfortably. Some pets may like to wander, and this could lead to a lost loved one! Other pets may be too old to walk comfortably. This is why pet strollers can be a good thing to have, and why they have been surging in popularity lately!
At Eclipse Pets, our strollers are designed to be just as safe and durable as those made for children. You'll find all the expected bells and whistles – a roomy riding area for your pet, storage space for all your traveling gear, and durable sun screens. Comfortable handles and locking brakes help you stay safe and comfortable too. Larger wheels are also a key feature, since we know your dog loves it when you go check out what's beyond the sidewalk.
In addition to these functional features, our strollers also come in a variety of designs and colors. This means you can show off your personal style whenever you want to take your pet out for a walk. From traditional colors like black and navy blue to funky colors like raspberry and lilac, we've got your covered.

Born Sheila Jean Sullivan in a Catholic household in Milwaukee, WI, June 16, 1951, Lou Sullivan recorded in a childhood diary the joy of "playing boys." As a teenager, Sullivan was fascinated by male homosexuality. "I want to look like what I am, but I don't know what someone like me looks like," she recalled. When Sullivan began to identify as a transgender gay man, the prospects were daunting: "What can become of a girl whose real desire and passion is with male homosexuals?"
Standing at the threshold of an uncertain new world, Sullivan took the first step by adopting the identity of a female transvestite. After moving to San Francisco, Sullivan took the first name Lou, lived as a gay man, identified as a female-to-male (FTM) transsexual and medically transitioned to a gender-confirming male body.
He became a peer counselor for gender-questioning women and corresponded with FTMs nationwide. He founded FTM International, one of the first FTM organizations, along with SHAFT in the UK and Rupert Raj's Metamorphosis in Toronto, and is largely responsible for the modern acknowledgment that sexual orientation and gender identity are totally different concepts.
He wrote the first guidebook for FTM persons, and also a biography of the San Francisco FTM, Jack Bee Garland and was instrumental in demonstrating the existence of trans men attracted to men. He is also credited for being the first to discuss the eroticism of men's clothing.
He became a founding member of the Gay and Lesbian Historical Society (now The GLBT Historical Society), whose archive have one of the best collections of material on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual history in the world. He contribute his papers to the society as well.
"My problem is that I can't accept life for what it is. I feel that there is something deep and wonderful underneath it."

Sold (Again)
The LA Times is reporting the sale of Jake's Hollywood Hills home is final.
The "gated compound" as the LA Times referred to it it's weekend real estate round up sold for $3,262,500. It was listed at $3.5 million
"The single-story home, built in 1948, sits on nearly two acres with expanses of lawn, mature trees, a swimming pool and a detached office. There are canyon, mountain and cityscape views.
The 2,826 square feet of living space, crowned by vaulted beamed ceilings, includes a central hall, a den, a family room, three bedrooms and three bathrooms."
If this sounds like you heard it before, you have. Trulia reported exactly one month ago that Jake had found a buyer.
Now the question is why would the LA Times and other major media outlets somehow hold the story and run it Thanksgiving day week?
While realtors are all about location location location, pr is all about timing, timing, timing.

Wiggle Waggle
With Jake in rehearsals for Constellations, he's trying to get into his character Rupert, the beekeeper.
No doubt Austin got into the spirit of things to help him out.
But will he simulate the bee dance bees do to attract their queen?
It's all about the waggle. And Austin's got a what it takes to waggle.
Wonder if Jake will wear the crown or the helmet? ; )

Turkey Trot
Jake stopped by The Late Show to chat with Dave on Thanksgiving Eve. He promoted Nightcrawler (with a interesting question from Dave about unions) as well as Constellations which opens in previews next month.
They didn't talk turkey, but the conversation went to salmon.
Earlier in day Jake was took a picture at The Rose Center for Earth and Space.

All about that base
Now was there a reason that Austin needed to tweet about ice coffee at the CVT truck on Tuesday?
The smallest menu in LA just got a little bigger. We're now serving up the "Coffee Cream" - an iced… whosay.com/l/nQx9Ibj - AUS10
I guess he can't help himself when it comes to coffee, ice coffee that is. Just had to share a video of making ice coffee with soft serve.
That's subtle Austin - you're a master of subtly, the way you love coffee.
Wait it was about ice coffee right?
And not where the CVT is.

Almost off the list
Jake's End of Watch co-star was not too happy with Jakey last year.
"I know! I was so pissed at Jake, let me tell you, I texted him and said, 'You're abandoning me, and I'm never going to forgive you!' "
And what pissed her off? Jake dropping out of "Into the Woods."
And, after awhile, Anna finally cooled her temper. She said, "And then I saw the trailer to Nightcrawler and texted him again and said, 'Wow, you inspire me every day.' "
The jury's still out if Jake really pulled out of "Into the Woods" to do Nightcrawler, or if there was some other reason, but at least he's back on the good list with Anne.

Lose the lumber
Way back in 2008 OMG shared How to make a LumberJake.
And around that time the word Lumbersexual was added to the Urban Dictionary
A Metro-sexual who has the need to hold on to some outdoor based rugged-ness, thus opting to keep a finely trimmed beard. - Urban Dictionary 2008
(Although back in February 2004 someone had defined Lumbersexual on Urban Dictionary as: "A male who humps anyone who gives him wood." )
Who knew we were years ahead of the newest trend?
Sound like anyone OMG knows?
Now that lumbersexual has made it to Time Magazine - it takes it out of the trend and makes it more like a dying star.
With Jake seemingly always years ahead of the curve, does this mean in another two years, shiny parachute jackets will be peaking?
Or the reverse tuxedo?
Or a duck blind masquerading as a coat?
Or just a Jake-a-sexual?

Celebrated in Paris's bohemian circles as "The Frivolous Prince," Cocteau secured a spot at the epicenter of French culture, collaborating with celebrities of the era like Pablo Picasso, Marcel Proust and Edith Piaf. Looking to advance his career, he arranged a meeting with Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, which resulted in their collaboration on the ballet "Parade." He also wrote librettos, plays, novels, poems, and film scripts, and dabbled in art and illustration.
In his personal life, Cocteau mostly sought the companionship of men, although he did sporadically pursue women, including Princess Natalie Paley, a member of the Romanov family. His most notable relationship was with fellow poet Raymond Radiguet. Although Cocteau denied that the relationship was romantic, he developed an opium addiction when Radiguet died suddenly.
Cocteau was a key player in France's emerging avant-garde movement. He found a new muse and lover in actor Jean Marais, who he cast in films such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Orpheus." Their 20-year relationship continued until Cocteau's death.
Cocteau was a multidisciplinary artist with ceaseless creativity. By blurring the line between the reality of his life and the fiction of his work, his existence itself became a work of art.

A to Z?
Back in the OTH days Austin was fighting them.
Could he be back fighting them again?
Or has he become on?
Austin was in the Atlanta area on November 6th,
And Atlanta is where they film one of the hottest shows on US TV, The Walking Dead on
And then Austin was seen at in Atlanta the night of the TWD wrap party on November 15th
An episode usually takes 8 days to shoot but premieres and season finales take a little bit longer. The timeline would fit.
TWD is notoriously secretive about anything about the show. They keep the locations a closed guarded secrets, the cast, crew and visitors sign off on confidentiality agreements. If Austin's on the show, the only way to know is if he pops up on the screen.
Or if this is the only Zombie for Austin

We've seen Jake get wet before.
But this time he's taking the plunge.
Jake is on the cover of the December 2014 of W's Art issue—and completely under water! Photographer and video artist Bill Viola, who is known for using water in his work, snapped both Jake submerged in a tank in his Long Beach, Calif., studio.
It took a few tries first to get it picture perfect
"I didn't expect the sensations—the water would go up my nose and out my eyes, which made it difficult to keep my eyes open,"
"There's a panic that sets in, because you're running out of breath," he continued. "And even though you can hear [people] talking, telling you to move your arm or open your eyes, mostly you're in your own head. You feel very alone."
Despite the less than serene experience, Jake looks perfectly at peace on the cover.
