Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
Plans have been announced to deploy hundreds of volunteer staff to cover for London Underground workers who go on strike next month in protest at Tube ticket office closures.
Transport for London said "ambassadors" trained to help at Tube stations will help ensure they stay open if the two 48-hour walkouts go ahead from February 4 and 11.
TfL said over 1,000 staff have signed up to be ambassadors, ready to help passengers during major events or at times of disruption.
They will be joined by more volunteers, who will keep customers informed on how Tube services are operating and offer advice on alternative travel options, including bus, London Overground and River services, as well as walking and cycling routes, said TfL.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has called the strikes, while members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) are being balloted on whether to take industrial action.
The unions are protesting at the ticket office closures and the loss of hundreds of jobs.
Phil Hufton, LU's Chief Operating Officer, said: "Under our plans to modernise the service we offer our customers all of our stations will remain staffed and controlled by our people at all times when services are operating.
"In fact, we will have more staff visible and available in ticket halls and on platforms to help customers buy the right ticket, plan their journeys and to keep them safe and secure.
"We're also committed to implementing these changes without compulsory redundancies.
"There'll be a job for everyone at LU who wants to work with us and be flexible.
"Given these assurances, we urge the RMT and TSSA union leaderships to end their strike threats and to work with us to shape the future of the Tube.
"However, should a strike go ahead, we're determined to keep London moving and open for business and our TfL 'ambassadors' will play an important role. All a strike will achieve is lose those who take part four days' pay."
Talks between the two sides were adjourned earlier this week and are due to resume tomorrow.
Manuel Cortes, leader of the TSSA, said: "This is yet another gimmick by our publicity-obsessed mayor which shows he is determined to force an unnecessary showdown with the rail unions to further his own naked political ambition.
"His so-called ambassadors are merely management strike-breakers who will not be able to run anything like a full Tube service if the strike goes ahead."
RMT leader Bob Crow said: "Rather than pulling desperate publicity stunts, the mayor and TFL should be focused on resolving the issues at the heart of this dispute, which are about safety, access and the quality of service to Londoners, which are set to be hammered by de-staffing our stations and closing ticket offices.
"The idea that a scab army of volunteers can replace the work of thousands of engineers, drivers, technical and station staff is dangerous nonsense and senior LU officials know that."

Investigating Me
Rhiannon Nicholls
School Subjects.
English: Unlike most people, English has been one of my favorite subjects for as long as I can remember. I've had a passion for stating my opinion and using correct spelling and grammar for a lot longer than everyone else I know. So I find English classes to be quite enjoyable.
Performance: I really enjoy dancing for a lot of reasons. I'm the type of person who finds it very hard to stay still, I enjoy moving around and dancing is a good way to manage those urges. Although I'm not a very good dancer, I still enjoy having a go and learning new things.
Shoot & Score: One of my biggest passions is making videos, so this class is great for me and I really enjoy it. It helps me to learn to new things about videos and editing as well as obviously adapting my skills with things I already knew.
Metals: I did this class for one semester and in the beginning I was very nervous because it involves the kind of thing that I've never experienced. I didn't think I'd be able to do anything in this class and I didn't think I'd know anything, but I surprised myself and picked up some brand new skills and had a lot of fun.
Drama: I did a drama class for a semester in year seven and in year nine and although I didn't actually choose these classes, I ended up enjoying them. It was a great experience and it gave me useful tips for my videos.
YouTube: I really enjoy making videos and uploading them to my YouTube account "TheRhiannonNicholls". I record, edit and upload all of my videos myself and I really enjoy doing this. Although my laziness often gets in the way of doing this to the best of my ability.
Dancing: I have only ever had dancing lessons twice, when I was very young and they were both for completely different types of dancing styles. Ballet and hip-hop. I enjoyed both, but I don't really fancy professional dancing despite choosing it for an elective two years in a row. I enjoy just mucking around with dancing, having fun and not having to focus on a set out routine.
Singing: Ever since I was young I've always had a love for singing. I'm not the best at it, but that doesn't stop me from blasting out some tunes at any chance I get. It's just such a fun thing to do and it's a great way to enhance or change my mood entirely.
Gaming: Following in my twenty year old brother's footsteps, gaming has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around him and all of his computer games and xbox games and I began to love them. And to this day I really enjoy most types of gaming, mostly killing games though.
Eating: I really enjoy eating, but when say that I don't really mean all food. Because I'm the pickiest person when it comes to meals, but when I find something I do enjoy the taste of I quite enjoy eating when I can.
Sleeping: Like most teenagers I really do love my sleep. But as ironic as it is, I don't really sleep as much as I should. It's sort of a love/hate relationship we have going on. It's like this, I don't want to go to bed, but I want to sleep. And I want to sleep, but I don't want to get up. If that makes any sense.
Camping: My family and I have been going camping every single year since I was literally born and because of this it's become a huge part of my life. I always look forward to my annual camping trip. Getting away from everything and everyone for a little bit and enjoying nature.
Adventuring: As corny as this sounds, it's very true. There will always be this childish part of me that simply loves exploring new places. Even if it's just finding some old woods and exploring it with a couple of friends.
Reading: I really enjoy reading books as it's a good was to escape reality and explore an entire new world. I love the detail that goes into writing a book and I really admire authors for that.
Swimming: In my earlier years I think I finished swimming lessons at least five times, if not more. We had to do them over and over in Primary School regardless of if we'd already done it or not. And after a while it really annoyed me and I got sick of it, but I do still enjoy the basics of swimming. Just going out to a beach or a pool and relaxing with some friends. So not professional racing swimming, but chilled out, relaxed swimming.
Personal Skills.
Computers: I have grown up around computers and all sorts of technology all of my life and now have a broad understanding of the many ways in which to use these machines.
Humor: I have been told by many people that I am quite a funny person. From what I can assume that is fairly true. I think I just have a way of making the people around me laugh and smile, which is something I'm really proud of.
Advice: Something I really enjoy doing is helping people when they're having a difficult time, I like giving them advice and supporting them. I've also been told by a lot of people that I'm fairly good at giving people advice as I have a good way with my words.
People: I very much enjoy meeting new people. It's odd but I'm very good at talking to people whom I don't even know compared to people I slightly know.
Teamwork: I am usually pretty good at working in a team. I often enjoy it a lot more than working on my own, unless of course the rest of the team is unhelpful and I have to take charge, that really aggravates me.
Communication: I have fairly good communication skills in most situations, I can control and maintain a conversation for long periods of time without the subject going off track.
Employability Skills.
Leadership: I am the type of person who prefers to be in charge and taking control of a situation instead of standing back and being told what to do. This can be a good thing and a bad thing, depending on what the situation is. Although I am quite capable of adapting myself to whatever is necessary.
Confidence: I am a very confident person in the strangest of situations, I am very comfortable with speaking to new people, but at times can find it very hard to speak to people who I actually know.
Hardworking: I'm the kind of person who will put 100% into any task that I'm given, or none at all. I will always do my best to make sure things are at a good standing and I will always put in a good effort to make that happen.
Perfectionist: I myself am a bit of a perfectionist with most things. In some cases this can be awful and frustrating. But when it comes to school work and important things like that, it can come in handy. I will always try my best to make sure things are done to absolute perfection. I can't even handle something not being entirely perfect.
Organised: I am a very organised person with most things, especially with online things such as work. This is very useful considering that day by day the schooling and work industries begin to revolve more around computers and less around book work and things like that. Online learning keeps things easier for me to access and maintain.
Understanding: I like to think that I have a very wide and broad understanding of most things and especially people. I'm very open to both sides of every situation and taking all perspectives into consideration.

The September 11th attack on our country has changed us in many ways. We are at war and our leaders of both parties are united behind President Bush, our people are united as never before in recent history, and partisan politics seems irrelevant now, out of place, almost at odds with the unity we now require, and demand, of our leaders. Of all the changes wrought by September 11th, however, the desire and need for national unity and an overriding national purpose is really not at odds with political argument. In fact, we might assert that political disagreement, debate, and contention, within the confines of a civil discourse, are precisely among those fundamental American values that so infuriate our authoritarian enemies who hate us because they hate the kind of free society that nurtures such pluralism and opposition .
In our attempt to return to normality, one way is to relish the good old-fashioned American tradition of electoral politics. Which brings us to this year's governor's race!
I'm for Bret Schundler. His character and leadership qualities are just what we need at a time like now. A public servant's record is perhaps the best way to judge how a candidate will act in the office sought and Bret's record in Jersey City is outstanding.
And on the issues most important to New Jersey's future, Bret Schundler's views on governance will produce the greatest amount of freedom, prosperity, and safety for our residents. His core principles rest on his deeply held belief in limited government, in the maximization of individual freedom, in the idea that power better resides with the people rather than with the politicians and bureaucrats .
In his character and strength, Bret Schundler exemplifies the conscientious leader we need most in times of crisis. You may not always agree with all of Bret's views but you'll always know that his views are heartfelt and that he won't change his positions just to curry favor or conform to polls.
Bret Schundler stands for principles that he will not abandon. He is the kind of leader we all hope to encounter in public life-and individual of conscience who says what he believes and means what he says, no matter whether the "politically correct" academic or media elites approve.
After all the cynicism, a lot of it warranted, of recent decades, how refreshing to find someone seeking public office with the courage of his convictions.
Real Progress
In his incredibly successful nine-year tenure as mayor of Jersey City, the firs t Republican elected since 1917 and the first mayor to win re-election in 30 years-and that with only 6 percent of Jersey City as registered Republicans, Bret Schundler exemplifies the effective executive that gets things done and brings about real progress.
After his nine years, Jersey City residents actually had a lower property tax levy because of Bret's fiscal discipline and that despite his inheriting a $40 million budget deficit.
You can best judge any public servant by results and under Bret Schundler Jersey City went from being the New Jersey city with the lowest job growth before his mayoralty to the New Jersey city with the highest job growth today. Ten times t he job growth of New Jersey's other five largest cities combined. He cut Jersey City's sales tax rate in half, he decreased its overall crime rate by 35 percent , much greater than the average reduction statewide, he led the fight for charter school legislation statewide, he made his city the first in the nation to introduce medical savings accounts for employees, and he established an innovative water utility initiative to improve drinking water quality that was recognized by the U.S. Conference of Mayors as the best new public/ private partnership initiative.
Tax reduction, spending cuts, innovation in management, crime reduction, quality of life initiatives, educational reform, environmental safeguards, economic growth, job creation, more power away from politicians and bureaucrats and back into the hands of families and individuals that's a record of enormous achievement and excellence. It's Bret Schundler's real record of proven, effective reform an d courageous leadership.
Limit Government
In his vision for New Jersey and the issues he advances to expand personal freedom and responsibility, to limit government, shrink bureaucracy and red tape, and to expand economic growth, Bret Schundler exemplifies the marriage of competence and compassion, fiscal conservatism and social progress, and safety and liberty.
Bret Schundler as governor will cut our taxes, reduce government spending, tame that bureaucratic monster in Trenton, make our families and our environment safer, stop "sprawl" realistically, preserve open space, return more power to families in the education of their children and individuals in the spending of their earnings. Tax relief, smaller and smarter government, spending cuts, safer streets, economic growth, greater educational opportunities, more open space and less sprawl.
That's Bret Schundler's platform-and his actual record and his refusal to bend to any special interest makes you realize he'll achieve what he says and take back the government from those special interests, back to the citizens.
(Editor's Note: Mr. Treffinger, a Republican and lawyer by training, is in his second term as Essex County Executive, despite the county's three to one voter registration ratio in favor of Democrats. He unsuccessfully sought the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate last year. He can be reached as firstname.lastname@example.com.)

Brimming with small-town charm, Greendale's village center, complete with a historic downtown and prominent green space, is listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. The village was originally built in 1936, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, using the "garden city" model that created housing within walking distance of gardens, employment, shopping and a town center. The project left a downtown lined by more than 2 dozen shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, along with the Reiman Visitor Center. More than 40,000 flowers are planted along downtown streets during Springtime and historic tours are regularly offered. During Christmastime, more than 100,000 lights adorn downtown in celebration.
Greendale is conveniently located southwest of Milwaukee, close to Interstate 43 and Interstate 894. According to the 2010 census, 14,046 people, 6,075 households, and 4,016 families reside in the village. The median income for a household is $55,553, and the median income for a family is $65,071. The average value of an owner-occupied home is $216,100.
Newsweek named Greendale High School as one of America's Best High Schools, according to its 2009 and 2010 rankings. While in 2007, Milwaukee Magazine ranked the Greendale School District as the best school system in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. About 40 percent of residents over the age of 25 have a bachelors' degree or higher. The average commute time runs about 23 minutes. The median value of an owner-occupied home is $216,100.
There are no schools near by this property.

Steampunk all over
Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Steampunk post.
I am really a big Steampunk fun and making these project is one of the best creative things I can imagine.
So this art piece was arranged with lots of Tando chipboards, a few resin, self casted pieces and a lot of mediums and imagination.
It's a kind of flying scull and looks like an old art cameo.
Each and every chipboard piece was covered with white gesso and them Cogs mini mask was added with texture paste.
Then all pieces were painted with a mix of DecoArt Media line paints.
The wings and the scull are made of resin , but painted with the very same paints in the same way.
I enter this to a couple of web challenges:

British Open 2010, MLB All-Star Game, Stephen Strasburg, Nats and more -- Ask Boswell
Thursday, July 15, 2010; 11:00 AM
Washington Post Sports Columnist Tom Boswell will be online Thursday, July 15 to take all your questions about Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, the British Open, Stephen Strasburg, the Nats, the MLB All Star Game and more.
A transcript follows
Lincoln Park/Capitol Hill: I'm submitting early in the hope of being the first to point out that Mike Capps is the second Washington pitcher to win an All-Star game by facing just one batter.
In 1954, Dean Stone of the Senators came in to face Duke Snider with Red Schoendienst on third. Before Stone could throw a pitch to Snider, Schoendienst tried to steal home. Stone threw him out at the plate, ending the inning. In the next inning, the AL went ahead, and Stone became the winning pitcher.
Tom Boswell: Lincoln Park,
Good to hear from the old stomping grounds.
Nice point. Someone else e-mailed with the same memory. And STONE was certainy the winning pitcher in '54.
Matt Capps actually deserves plenty of credit, even though it was a 1/3 inning win. The A.L. was hitting Halladay hard enough to get Charmlie Manual to switch pitchers. Elvis Andrus over-slid 2nd base on a steal and got himself out or it would have been a bigger jam. (Make up your own 'Elvis has left the...' jokes. There must be a decent one.)
Capps didn't just strike out any hitter. It was David Ortiz who'd won the Home Run Derby the night before and also led off the 9th with a line single off Broxton. Capps fell behind 2-0, fought back to even the count, 2-2, all with 91-94 m.p.h. fastballs away. Then he came inside at the belt with a perfect backdoor two-seam fastball. Would have made Greg Maddux proud.
"That's the first time I ever threw to (Ortiz)," said Capps.
Capps and McCann are old ftriends from Georgia, but falling behind 2-0 "was not what we wanted to do," he said. His eyes got a little big as he said it.
So, we can call it a little but of a fluke that he won. But it was a big out in the game and a great memory for a good guy.
Appreciate the wordplay: First off, applause for the pun in today's column, Boz: "you don't leave whales adrift on the basepaths in the last inning or the game will gaffe 'em." Juxtaposing "gaffe" as in "embarrassing error" with "gaff" as in "a pole with a sharp hook used by fishermen to land a large fish". Nicely done.
Second off, would you care to revisit any of your predictions for the postseason based on first-half performances?
Tom Boswell: Thanks.
Of course, I've already gotten e-mail wailing that I didn't spell "gaffe" correctly. Sigh. What are you gonna do.
Norfolk, Va.: Tom,
I don't remember; was the Cubs All-Star center fielder and ex Nat, Marlin Byrd, traded, released or did he go via free agency. If traded, what did we get in return?
Tom Boswell: Byrd is a fine story. I was tempted to do the whole column on him. The Nats let him go after the '06 season (for nothing). He'd hit .224. I liked him. Very smart and accountable. Just couldn't get his hitting figured out. Great ex-football physique.
"After the Nationals let me go, I didn't know what was going to happen. I was getting my tapes ready for Japan. Then Texas gave me one shot in spring training in '07. But Matt (Kata) beat me out. I cleared waivers and went to (AAA) Oklahoma City. I was 29 and in AAA and that is not going to cut it for anybody."
Byrd said that coach Rudy Jarimillo worked with him on his hiutting and "helped me get my confidence back."
"I saved my career in '07," he said, getting back to Texas and hitting .307 in 414 at bats. "I gave them three good years." And got $8-million for it.
Then the Cubs signed him for three years for $15M and he made the All-Star team. Besides his excellent play to throw out Ortiz at 2nd in the 9th, he also fought back from 02 to draw a walk off Valverde and load the bases in the seventh to set up McCann's three-run double.
"I thought I was a track str out there," said Byrd of the first-to-home sprint on which he was safe by a yard. "I felt like I was going 100 m.p.h.
Byrd was especially proud to get on base against Valverde, just about the hadest pitcher to hit in baseball this year, and an old friend. "He was teasing me before the game that he was going the strike me out on a splitter. I just kept fighting (down 0-2) because I didn't want to give him a chance to do his dance (after K's)."
There was some by-play between them during the AB.
Byrd really liked his time in D.C., had no hard feelings and said the Nats were justified in letting him go considering how he'd hit in his time with them. Class act.
Rockville, Md.: Does Ted Lerner realize that if he allows Dunn to become a free agent, he won't get the same great deal this time around? Boston, the White Sox and the Cubs are all big market teams that may be looking for a first baseman this offseason. Unless Prince Fielder is traded, Dunn may be the best option available and could easily secure the kind of money he's supposedly asking for.
Please tell me that the Nationals' front office doesn't think it can fill out a winning roster entirely based on bargain deals.
Tom Boswell: Thgis is one of my "long" answers _-and stat nerdy, too. So, just skip it if you are not inclined that way.
Within the Nats organization there are serious stat folks who agree with the Dunn Is Limited school of thought and regard his clutch-hitting and/or defense as a problem. I think the clutch-hitting knock on him is a base canard. (Always wanted to use "base canard.")
The best stat for "clutch hitting" is probably the "leverage index" which calculates the "win probability" for every possible game situation. Then it measures how much that probability CHANGES with various outcomes __from GIDP to HR.
In his career, Dunn (career OPS .905) has had an OPS of .926 in High Leverage (clutch) situations. In Medium Leverage, his career OPS is .889. In low leverage (blow out games, nobody on base, etc.) it is .909.
So, he is very consistent. But he is BETTER in the clutch than at any other time. Not by much, but by alittle.
In 1,232 high-leverage plate appearances, he has an on-base percentage of .399, a slugging average of .526 and has driven in 315 runs in 965 at bats. (The other PA's ended in walks.)
So, in high-leverage situations over 10 seasons, he's driven in one run for every three at bats! Is that good enough?
FWIW, Dunn also has had an OPS of .900 in his career with nobody on base and .909 with men on base.
In contrast, Mr. Walk-Off Clutch, Ryan Zimmerman, is actually worse in the clutch than he is at other times. Career OPS .835, but only .806 in high-leverage situations.
People get hung up on sub-categories of clutch hitting and rant about them. For example, last year, Dunn was great with men on base (.949 OPS), two outs and RISP (.976) but in the relatively small # of at bats that you get "late and close" he was bad (.687.) This year, it's flipped __great in "late and close" (.931) but awful in 35 at bats with 2 out and RISP.
What does it mean? In Dunn's case, it means all the stat nit-picking is baloney. Dunn's failures make a bigger (280-pound) impression than he's successes. Apparently, it's just a fact of psychological human nature. He is exceptionally consistent across all metrics for his whole career. But in any one year, there will always be some sub-category to nag Goliath about. However, with Dunn there is always some comparably good sub-category __but why look for it? It's more fun to rag on the huge slugger (imo). This year, he's come up 52 times with MORE than one man on base. He's .289/.385/.533/.918 with 28 RBI.
Maybe here's what ought to matter most to the Nats. Since he came to DC, Dunn is getting better as a hitter. OPS in Cincy was .900 on the nose, but .930 in DC, despite being in a bigger ballpark. And he's learning to expand his strike zone, walk less and slug more __just like everybody's always bugged him to do. Be more like Ryan Howard. Well, he is. Howard career: .281/.372/.577. Dunn this year, .279/.365/.568. Dunn's on pace for 93 extra-base hits! (Ted Wiliams never had 89, neither did Aaron or DiMaggio. Dunn's previous highs were 80, 77, 70. (And 67 last year.) He is getting better before our eyes, changing as a hitter, and nobody sees it. It's a fluke that three of his doubles hit the top inch of fences or he'd be leading the majors in HR and be right behind Wright in RBI in the NL. Another factoid: in Cincy, he had 1 RBI every 7.06 plate appearances. In DC, it's an RBI every 6.38 plate appearances.
"Big-bodied guys get old fast." That's another Dunn knock. Oh, they do? I've only seen one player as big as Dunn __Frank Howard. Dunn is 30. Howard's three best years, by far, were at ages 31-32-33, when he hit 44, 48 and 44 homers with 106, 111 and 126 RBI. What other tall huge smooth-swinging LH-hitting first basemen have I actually seen who were somewhat similar to Dunn? Willie McCovey's only three sluggging (and OPS) titles were at 30-31-32. Willie Stargell's three best years, by far, were 31-32-33 when he was 2-3-2 in MVP.
What about the players who are most statisticlly similar to Dunn at age 30? Reggie Jackson arrived in New York at, yes, age 31. He still won HR titles at 34 and 36. Harmon Killebrew won home run titles at 31 and 33 and age 33 was his best year. Jose Canseco had his highest HR year at 33. Only Strawberry (cocaine) doesn't fit the pattern.
I can't prove what will happen over the next three years. Dunn could get hurt or wake up one day with his eyes going bad like Jim Rice. You never know. But I do KNOW that Dunn hits just as well, or a little better, in the clutch __in high-leverage moments__ as he does at all other times. He's not a great player, he's just a very, very good slugger. But he's way undervalued in the market. You can't replicate him for what you can still sign him for now. He's gotten better the last two years. And this year may actually be a kind of mini-mid-career break out season for Dunn when he walks less, goes sky-high in extra-base hits and, pretty soon, goes from a 100 to a 110-115 RBI hitter __like Frank Howard at 31.
Frank used to say, "Too soon old, too late smart." If the Nats let Dunn go, when they could have him on a three-year deal for ages 31-32-33, they are the ones who are probably going to be "too late smart."
Mt. Lebanon, Penn.: What happened to NL and AL pitchers like Evan Meek (Pittsburgh) who just went to the All Star game and sat there?
Do they get a T-shirt that says: "Went to the All Star game - all I got was this lousy T-shirt."?
And coach class airline tickets.
Tom Boswell: The Meek don't inherit the All-Star mound.
A couple of players always get left out. With rosters up to 34 with (I think) 14 pitchers, it was a good job just getting 20 (!) pitchers into the game.
But maybe T-shirts for the did-not-play group would be an idea for their teammates when they get back home.
Rosslyn, Va.: Hi Bos,
I'm looking at the scores for The Open this weekend and I'm surprised that the scores are so low considering the weather reports for the tournament. Is the weather playing a factor in today's scores? Do you anticipate that scores will go up or stay low going forward in the tournament?
Tom Boswell: There is no wind at all today at St. Andrews. Or there wasn't in the a.m. when Roy McIlroy shot 63 (to tie for the low round ever in a major) and John Daly had 66. Tiger got the best of the condityions and shot 67.
With no wind, St. Andrews is a flat, open, defenseless course with big greens. And everybody rips itr apart. I covered the '84 and '00 British Opens at St. Andrews and remember that calm days brought out very low scores __by players who were not going to win unless the winds stayed away all four days. Which it never does. I don't think you'll see Tiger (or Daly) win unless it stays very calm.
"Wind is the truth serum of golf." I don't think Tiger's swing can take very much truth serum yet.
BTW, as I've mentioned before, St. Andrews is one of the ugliest golf courses I have ever seen. If it were two miles from my house, I wouldn't play it once a year. I don't mean humble or not beautiful. I mean burn-it-down ugly. Except it's so flat and barren that it would look the same after the fire, if you could even start one.
Nicklaus always told the story about how average golfers hate St. Andrews and "championship golfers" worship it. When Jack was a teen, his dad and a bunch of golfer friends went to St. A's for a week. When they came back, Jack's dad said it was "the worst course I've ever seen." Or some such words. There was no "scenery." Every hole was flat/bumpy looked the same. And "everybody four-putted all week and we're good putters." Again, a paraphrase.
When Jack went for the first time, he said he thought it was the greatest and most subtle golf course in the world and that, "for a golf course architect," there was more to learn at St. Andrews about design than at any other course. Jack said that the bogey golfer will never play the game well enough, or shoot at targets small enough, to be able to grasp St. Andrews. And he worships the greens. (Which seem too slow this week, BTW.)
So, come on, who are you going to believe, me or Jack?
Alexandria, Va.: Good Morning, Boz,
What should the Nats do with Dunn and Willingham? Considering how difficult it is for this team to score runs, I don't see why they would not extend two of their most productive hitters. So I say re-sign them both!
Tom Boswell: The Nats keep saying (leaking) that even if they don't resign Dunn by the end of the season that they still may be able to sign him after the season.
To which I scream: BUNK!
This is the standard con job. There are just enough rare examples of this coming true that reporters don't like to blow the whistle and say, "The team doesn't want to sign Player X at a market price. But they don't want to take the blame for it. So, they let him go free agent then say, 'If he'd wanted to stay here so much, he could have resigned with us. So, he's a phoney. He took somebody else's money and left. He's the bad guy. Not us."
That's such a crock. And I think the Nats are setting up to use it if they have to. This is a negotiation. Say the word slowly. You have to give something to get something. By signing Dunn 50-60-70 games before the end of the season, the Nats would be taking on the risk of a long-term contract if he got hurt. By trading him for prospects, they aren't giving him anything. They are just making him uproot himself and play 2 more extra months with the risk of injury/slump or whatever. And the Nats would save $4M in salary.
Yes, players have come back and resigned after they were free agents. But I'd love to see a list of the 10 biggest names. Very few, if any, were 40-home-run hitters.
You extend this guy or you'll lose him. And, imo, you should. If I were in his shoes, they'd certainly lose me. (But Dunn is a MUCH nicer person than I am.)
Sometimes the simple obvious answer is the correct one. That is the case this time: extend them both. And I wouldn't wait for July 31. Just do it, for crying out loud.
Sorry, I'm going to inflict one more stat tangent on you long-suffering chatters.
This is turning out to be a very bad year for stat nerds who've made a cottage industry of hating on Dunn.
As of July 11, Dunn's "ultimate zone rating" (UZR-per-150-games) as a first baseman was -1.1. So, after damning as virtually the worst fielder in history, the sacred UZR stat now thinks that Dunn is supposedly within one-run--season of being an average defensive play!
So, now, all the "he's a DH" people have to eat their words. Or they have to recant on the accuracy of UZR. (I'd go with the later.)
Also, for years, Dunn has been knocked for refusing to expand his strike zone for the sake of the team and try to get more RBI, even if it hurt his walk totals and exposed him to the mockery of even more strikeouts __like 200 Ks.
Well, guess what, Dunn has changed this year. His percentage of swings on balls that are outside the strike zone has increased from 17.8% (career) and 19.4% last season to 28.6% this season __which is about the league average in this "O-swing%" stat.
It looks like he's finally doing what everybody has begged him to do __expand his strike zone so he can hit more and walk less. If this is true, and it's probably too soon to be sure, it's a spectacular success. He's at the top of the N.L. in slugging percentage, total bases and, as I mentioned, is on an astronomical extra-base-hit pace with 26 doubles, two triples and 22 homers.
The reason Dunn's season is being overlooked is because his RBI are at his normal pace __108. That's because __though he normally hits slightly better with men on base than with nobody on, and his Leverage Index numbers are slightly better in the clutch than other situations__ he's hit a weirdly high number of solo homers this year and has hit somewhat worse with men on base.
Perhaps his career-best slugging and XBH production will come down. But what if they don't? Or if they just come down a little? Then he'll probably start getting a normal # of RBI for such high power production.
If so, he may evolve in his 30's into a hitter more like Ryan Howard __a huge RBI man.
Look at the contract Howard got __and he's roughly as poor a fielder as Dunn. And look at the far-lower price that the Nats could get Dunn for TODAY.
Okay, the guy isn't Babe Ruth. The franchise will go on if they lose him. But if they are dumb enough to lose a player this good, this popular with fans and this good in the clubhouse, then how many other dumb things will they do? And how many smart people in their FO will they lose over time?
Willingham is a very good hitter and an improving outfielder. But you can replace 28 homers, 85 RBI and 95 walks a lot easier than you can a LH-hitting 40-homer slugger who fits ideally behind Zimmerman at cleanup.
The Nats have about a three-year window here (before Z'man's contract is up and Dunn/Willingham start to show age) to be quite good __a wildcard contender at worst and a playoff team with a fast-growing fan-base at best. In modern baseball, you can't plan much more than 2-3 years into the future. You just can't do it.
The Nats, with Strasburg and Zimmermann throwing well, have a chance to be what they should be __and soon. If not in '11, then '12. Don't squander it.
Washington, DC: What effect will the past two offseasons' depressed FA market for DH/1b/OF types and the number of older FAs (Guerrrero, Ortiz, Konerko, Damon, etc...) have on the Dunn market? Is he so clearly the best guy out there that he'll get paid and the others will get scraps, or will the glut keep him from not only "Ryan Howard" money but also "Jason Bay" money?
Tom Boswell: So many stat people hate him for so many reasons that you can still get him at a fair-to-cheap price.
But if he finishes the year with <10 errors, a UZR near 0.0, 90 XBH and 110 RBI and it will be a different market for him.
Not man BELIEVE in Dunn. That why, if you show him that you DO believe in him, you get him at a discount to (my view of) intrinsic value.
Okay, enough with Dunn/Willigham. I'm going on some vacation and I'm going to assume that sanity will prevail.
Oh, and please don't tell me about the great value of compensation picks for Type A free agents. Look at the picks after No. 30 in the last 10 drafts and tell me how many of them were any valid "compensation" for a Dunn.
Reston, Va.: Besides keeping the core together, who do you see the Nats going after in free agency to help the club for next year? Are FAs interested in coming to the Nats?
Tom Boswell: Major free agent pitchers, like Cliff Lee, are beyond the Nats reach __even in their own view. That's another reason to keep what you've got and go hard after the international market and a not-quite-great FA RF or 2nd baseman to hit behind Z-D-W.
Colesville, Md.: How is Lannan doing? I hope he gets his stuff back. He was a good competitor. Any chance we will see him again this year?
Tom Boswell: In '07, on his way to the majors, Lannan's #s at Harrisburg were: 3-2, 3.25 ERA. 36-31-(14-13)-15-20.
This time, in four starts, 1-2, 4.50 ERA. 26-28-(13-13)-5-16.
I like him. I worry about him. He needs to get back up as fast as possible and reestablish himself before the August tsunami of pitchers arrives. And after going 4 IP last night, I suspect that Jordan Zimmermann, with normal progress in his next three minor-league starts, will be put in the MLB roster when his rehab time runs out on August 1 and make his first Nats starts within a few days after Aug. 1. I forget the exact "list" that Z-mann is on __60-day or rehab, etc. But it's over on 8/1 and, if I've got it right, they have to make a decision.
New York, N.Y.: I just want to say how hypocritical it is for LeBron to act all noble for wanting to win a title for "the team." That's BS. How can you be so loyal to a team you've never played a game for? That's not loyalty.
Like he so desperately wants to bestow a title on Miami, a city he's not connected to in any way, and which has been bereft of an NBA title for all of four years. No, he wants a ring for himself.
Tom Boswell: As LeBron (Third Person) James might say, "Lebron James has done himself some image damage in the last week."
Call me when the Heat wins a title. The Caps will win one before that and the Nats and Redskins may both make the playoffs. Three stars, plus "the best bunch of bums we can add on the cheap," will be fortunate to win next year.
Then, after the two-year work stoppage...
Okay, it won't be that bad.
El Segundo, Calif.: Tom,
I can't decide if Steinbrenner's legacy is more positive or negative for MLB and its fans. He clearly has many positive marks on the ledger, like more money to go around for free agent players and luxury tax recipients. But a rising tide lifts all boats and that is not the case here. Competitive balance and relative finanical parity among teams is gone, perhaps forever. There's also higher ticket prices and premium cable channels for all fans.
Did he help many perhaps all in baseball but did the most for his team at the lasting expense of many others and maybe the league? Thanks.
Tom Boswell: The best thing about Steinbrenner's 37 years running the Yankees was that he only won about HALF as many World Series (7) as he probably should have for the amount of money he spent.
He had the correct central (business) idea __"buy the pot." He had a sustainable competitive revenue advantage as long as he ALWAYS kept his teams in the hunt. That was smart. However, for his first 20 years, his personality and baseball judgment were an absolute nightmare. His money helped his team enormously. Everything else about him was a huge anchor. After he came back in '93, he was only about 2/3 as much a nightmare. But the guy really was a TERRIBLE "boss" who damaged his product far more than he helped it. Do you know how hard it is to have a $200M payroll and NOT win the Series! t's a kind of reverse genius. And The Boss had it!
Net/net, Steinbrenner was a plus for baseball because he brought the Yankees back as The Villain that animates so much fan interest in the game. But he was even better for baseball because he was controversial/borderline-incompetent in every other respect as a business manager.
Baseball's concern should be that his sons, without so much of the insecurity, success-mania that drove III, will actually be much better as the "boss" than dad. Maybe they won't capitalize the "B" in boss.
They say "speak no ill of the dead." At least not the first 24 hours for heaven sakes. I tried to find a balance in my column on him. He was wonderful grist for the mill. That helped baseball. But, as we all saw from '01 through '08, that extra Steiunbrenner pressure served no positive purpose at all. Without Joe Torre, the Yankees probably wouldn't have won as much as they did in the late-'90's.
Still, George was less manic and intrusive after he came back from his two-year ban. He was less a problem. And his checks all cleared! I'll just add that "celebrate" is probably not the correct word for any final evaluation of him. He's a much tougher and more complex subject that that. Perhaps you need to "calibrate" the various kinds of impact that he had on his team, the sport, salaries and even the general culture. There are many imitation III's, including buffoons like Trump.
Of all the "signature" quotes I've ever heard in sports, I'd say that the one which contains the least wisdom and the greatest potential for unhappiness is, "Winning is the second most important thing to me __after breathing."
I suspect we're going to be re-re-re-visiting George for quite a while. And I suspect I'll look at him a bit differently on Friday than I did on Tuesday or today.
Pleasantville, NY: Lots of talk about Steinbrenner in the Hall of Fame (at least in NY). Do you see him in there and how about Marvin Miller before him?
Tom Boswell: They might go in together! The two best friends that a ballplayer's wallet ever had.
Of course, it was Marvin's JOB to get them better pay! And, as history has proved, players were grossly underpaid when Miller first came on the scene.
Washington, DC: Any reason to think the All Star game television ratings would have been higher if Strasburg had been selected? Wouldn't that have been good for the game?
Tom Boswell: We'll find out next year!
Here's what Andy Pettitte had to say when I asked him about Strasburg:
"For years it just seemed like the hitters were dominating. Now, this is the best set of young arms I've seen. I've seen Strasburg (on TV). It's amazing. He's got it all, just unbelievable stuff. I know everybody says that, but it's true.
"We'll see how he gets through his tough outtings. Everybody struggles at some point. That will let you know (how good he'll eventually be). But the sky's the limit for him. He can already make ther ball move both ways with the changeup and curveball. He's getting righthanded hitters out with changeups! You never see that.
"For me, the most remarkable thing about Strasburg is to have that kind of command of that kind of stuff __and so young. He's as polished as they get."
L'enfant Terrible: If Girardi's last sub was Rodriguez, then who could have run for Ortiz? Was there somebody else on the bench?
Tom Boswell: The problem: In a two-run game which could go extra innings, why are you down to one position player left on your bench when you have a 34-man squad?
I still want to hear more on whether or not A-Rod had some minor injury. I haven't gotten up to speed on that yet.
Rockville, Md.: Do you think Lannan is in the hurt-but-hiding-it camp?
Tom Boswell: No.
I think he's in the "where did my sinker go" camp.
Pitchers can "misplace" pitches. But rarely their BEST pitch. Pettitte said that, when he came up to MLB, he had a fastball, chanegup and curve, but that after he learned the cutter in '92 and had so much success with it, that he neglected both his changeup and his two-seam fastball. He said he lost the "feel" of his changeup and seldom used it for SIX years before finding the "feel" of it again enough to trust it in big game situations.
Washington, D.C.: Bos,
Thanks for writing one of the few balanced pieces on George Steinbrenner that I read. From everything I read, the guy was a total jerk, albeit a rich jerk. People don't focus on his free agent signings that failed, because he went right out and bought someone else.
I was a serious fan for years who now barely follows the game, though the Nats may bring me back. It's just no fun to watch the rich guys beat up on the poor guys so consistently.
Tom Boswell: I hope it was balanced. That was the goal. He deserved a fair handling.
Since I never called to interview him about Yankee controversies, but about state-of-the-game issues __labor fights, revenue sharing, expansion, etc__ we always had really good conversations. And he always wanted to know the gossip about what other teams were doing, what other owners thought about those subjects.
As long as you didn't work for him __which put employees in the same position that he found so uncomfortable with his hyper-demanding father__ then he was often a pleasure.
Hua Hin, Thailand: Not much has been mentioned about the Asian culture and the loss of "face" as a result of Tiger's actions. As I watch him it seems that this embarrassment is having a big impact on his psyche and therefore his game. Your thoughts?
Tom Boswell: Interesting. Like many athletes, Tiger tends to be his father on the outside and his mother on the inside. And "face" was/is enormously important to her.
Virginia: Is there any truth to the rumor that George Steinbrenner has already fired Billy Martin from the afterlife Yankees? I am one of the many that both loved and hated what he did for baseball. As an owner, I loved his passion for winning and doing what it took to put a winner on the field. Then I hated the way he spent money and turned many of the other sports markets in this country into a small market that cannot compete. How will you remember him and his impact on baseball?
Tom Boswell: Well, if Billy isn't in hell, then there isn't one.
So, you'll have to figure out if they've met yet.
They really did hate/need eachother. Saw the Post chat comment the other day that George thought Billy was a thug and Billy thought George was a spoiled meddling rich kid. But George needed a raise-hell manager for his rich players and Billy needed to be a Yankee more than most people need water.
Long Island, NY: Tom, What do you attribute Phil Mickelson's poor British Open record. He's won the Master's and the PGA, and he's contended many times at the US Open, but he never seems to contend at the British. Is it the rough, greens, and wind, or is it a biorhythm thing based on the time of the year?
Maybe after the US Open he should just move to the UK for a month. Pete Sampras never won a French Open, but he did put everything he had into it.
Tom Boswell: Among other things, Phil hits the ball high. Bad in the wind. lso, the Bitish greens tend to be slower. Phil's master on fast greens. And maybe he doesn't like the cold.
But, even so, shouldn't explain why he's been so utterly awful __one third and no others in the top 10.
Arlington, Va: Boz--a friend just sent me this--an exchange with the Pirates beat writer:
Tim: Who has the best work habits (works hardest away from the public eye) on the Pirates?
Dejan Kovacevic: This is a lame answer, Tim, but this is a really hard-working group. If you think about it, that makes sense, as very few of them could possibly feel secure in being on a major-league roster.
The one I'd single out for people in this answer, and just because it might surprise some given his history, is Milledge. Guy never stops, never complains, just keeps working. I have no idea about the player who was in New York or D.C., but I've never seen that version.
Tom Boswell: If so, and I hope it is, just proves the value of the famous Wake Up Call. I hope Lastings got it. He was fun to be around, but just seemed to be in love with his own talent, while simultaneously, wasting a lot of it.
That's it for this week. Thanks agin.
Bethesda, Md.: Last night I caught the segment of Ken Burns' baseball re Willie Mays. In once again watching Mays' swing, fielding and perhaps most of all, his base running, I had the feeling that I was witnessing a player for the ages, one who was truly unique and one whose like we have not seen since and are unlikely to do so in the future. Now I must admit I am unabashed Mays fan who cried when Stoneham moved the Giants west. But, am i wrong in my assessment that Mays was one of a kind and that his skills, flair and his enthusiasm for the game was unprecedented?
Tom Boswell: Mays is still the best I ever saw.
If Ichiro in his prime had been a step faster, played CF, carried 25 pounds more muscle, had hands twice as big and hit 660 home runs, he'd be Mays.

Adding all existing media files to Amazon s3
I have a current membership downloading site where users login and download files. Site is getting quite large over 200GB in files size due to regular additions of products. Hosting the data is not the issue, it is the effectiveness and loading time of site I am concerned about.
I am wanting to host all existing media files such as zip, images etc to my Amazon s3 account using buckets.
I have found a few good plugins that I can use but the problem is that they state only for new uploads when adding to site, not for old files. What I am needing is something I can transfer all old files to my S3 account and delete them all once they have been moved and URL changed.
Any help would be great. Thanks

Facilitating Access to Clean Lighting for Schools in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (Power Grid), a Navratna Public Sector enterprise operating in the power sector, is India's largest electric power transmission utility.
Power Grid has been contributing to the progress of the country in terms of growth of electricity infrastructure and augmentation of grid-connected green power capacity. The institution is highly committed to social responsibility, and has its well documented Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy, which is in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 of the Government of India and with the guidelines of the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE).
In December 2014, as part of its CSR policy, Power Grid, partnered with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi and agreed to support the Lighting a Billion Lives (LaBL) initiative. LaBL is a global commitment for facilitating clean energy access for basic and productive uses to the energy deprived. The initiative has footprints in 23 states of India, and is well recognized by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The website of the initiative is accessible through the URL: http://labl.teriin.org/.
As per the 68th round of NSSO, 73.5%, 36.8%, and 32.3% households in rural areas of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha, respectively are dependent on kerosene as energy source for lighting. In un-electrified or poorly electrified households, children are directly exposed to health risks arising from the usage of kerosene wick lamps. As per the estimates from the UNICEF, children from un-electrified households spend fewer days at school as compared to those living in electrified households. To address this issue, Power Grid and TERI partnered to facilitate clean energy access to school going children in rural areas of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha. Activities conducted under this project facilitate the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan of the Government of India.
The project makes provision for the attainment of the following Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations:
Key Activities
Awareness Generation:
- As part of the project, comic cum colour books were developed in vernacular languages and distributed in order to communicate the idea of clean energy access to school going kids.
- Lighting a Billion Lives posters were put up in various schools of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha.
- District level officials of the government and media were informed about the project activities.
- Each school was provided with a branding broad that mentioned about the initiative and the contribution of Power Grid Corporation of India. Also, each school was registered as LaBL schools.
Promoting Access to Clean Energy Technology
- Individual solar lanterns and solar panels were disseminated to school children and staff.
- The lanterns distributed comply with quality specifications of the Government of India and Lighting a Billion Lives initiative.
Capacity Building
- Technical training was provided to school teachers, local technicians, and other school staff members nominated by the school authorities.
- Each school was provided with learning modules on clean energy access developed under the global Capacity Building Hub of the UN's Sustainable Energy for All initiative.
- Employees of Power Grid were involved in the implementation of the project. This enhanced their exposure to the CSR projects.
- Dissemination of 10,338 solar lanterns to school children and teachers
- Dissemination of 40,000 plus customized comic cum colour books for awareness generation on clean energy access in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha
- Provision of technical training to 100 plus candidates including school teachers
- Provision of end user training to 10,000 plus students and teachers
Duration: December 2014 onwards
Project Partners: Power Grid Corporation of India Limited
- To provide clean lighting to 10,000 students in need of reliable lighting facility, through the dissemination of stand-alone solar lanterns;
- To increase the after dusk/post school study hours for students to facilitate improved academic performance; and
- To facilitate livelihood opportunities for energy enterprise personnel and technicians through business linkages
- The project enhanced the exposure of children to solar technology.
- It helped cut down on the usage of kerosene oil.
- It facilitated access to clean energy for basic lighting.
- It boosted the confidence of rural households in using solar technology.

Well, this is a great way to start off a new year. Not only did we have another record month of online income, but we had a baby girl!
Introducing Avery Rae Hayes
Avery was born on January 14th, 2017. She was 9lbs 1oz and was 22 inches long. Needless to say, she will probably be tall 🙂
We introduced our son Finn to her and he offered her some goldfish crackers, so this helped it be a good transition from one to two kids.
Book Update
If you have been following these income reports, you know I have been hired by a publisher to write a book: How to Retire Early. I am almost done with chapter 5 which is about the role of debt and will be starting on Chapter 6 next week. The entire manuscript is due March 15th, so it is crunch time.
Without further ado, here are last month's numbers.

Here is a detailed breakdown of where my online income came from last month.

Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing (Update)

For those of you not familiar with the course, Michelle shares how she makes over $50,000 a month in affiliate income through her blog. In fact, last month she made over $100,000 online most of which was affiliate income. She definitely knows what she is doing.

Facebook ads are getting better
In December, I hired Monica Louie who is teaching me to master Facebook Ads and she is awesome to work with. We have worked on several successful campaigns together now, and we have gotten as low as 2 cents per click (CPC)! As you can see, the investment in Facebook Ads over the past couple of months has significantly increased my revenue.

I went to work as an advertising art director one day and the next thing I knew I had twenty plus years experience in this business. According to my resume I spent time at most of the shops in LA, including TBWA/Chiat/Day, Rubin Postaer and Deutsch, working on brands such as Taco Bell, Acura and Mitsubishi. In one astounding year I produced 22 spots. But, in all fairness, also spent hours designing tray liners, dollar-off coupons and web banners. It's all good.
My favorite year? The one I spent working with ILM and hanging out at Skywalker Ranch.
My worst year? The 6 months I spent unemployed after 9/11. That kind of sucked.
Now I live in Pasadena, not far from where I flunked out of high school and graduated college. Happily married to my college sweetheart, raising three incredible kids and juggling the usual afflictions of most creative folks: photography, comic books and playing the guitar. Yeah, I know it's an awful cliche, but I just can't help it.

When an employer makes a company vehicle available to its staff, use of the vehicle for personal purposes is taxable. This is known as benefit in kind. Commuting travel is not considered to be business use.
This benefit in kind is calculated on the basis of the catalogue value and the CO2 emissions of the vehicle. This information is stated on the Dockx Rental invoice. In this way, it is easy for your HR department to calculate the benefit in kind.

Nana Mae's Garlic Dill Pickles
Recipe by ChefOnTheMoon
My grandmother was famous for her garlic dill pickles and we loved them. She made them each summer and they were never ready until Thanksgiving. She used rusty screw on lids that took strong muscle to remove......but the real test of these pickles was when she had Grandpa George "test" them to make sure they were OK for us to eat while we looked on, wondering what would happen to him if they weren't! These pickles are not refrigerated until after they are opened. Do not process them in a hot water bath. Follow the direction and enjoy very crunchy dill pickles. Should your brine become cloudy prior to opening do NOT eat these, it should stay clear. These pickles are fabulous and easy to make.
