Here's a Thought: The Brian Dopirak StoryJuly 16, 2009
Possibly my favorite thing about baseball is development patterns.
In any other sport, players (barring injury) generally get better until their late 20s, have a peak of maybe four years, and then start getting worse.
In baseball, however, players' careers can have all sorts of twists and turns.
Rookie of the Year winners like Bob Hamelin, Ben Grieve, Angel Berroa, Scott Williamson, Todd Hollandsworth, and Bobby Crosby often never have another good season after their rookie campaign.
Some players are never considered good prospects and become All-Stars.
While fascinating stories like Rick Ankiel and Josh Hamilton get a ton of attention because the player is in the majors, there are also many more under-the-radar bizarre stories that go on in the minors.
One of the weirdest stories belongs to New Hampshire Fisher Cats first baseman Brian Dopirak.
Dopirak was a highly touted second-round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs in 2002. He and his high school teammate, Ryan Harvey, were both drafted by the Cubs. Harvey and Dopirak were supposed to be the future middle-of-the-order sluggers the Cubs needed.
In case you're curious about Harvey, his lack of strike zone judgment and contact ability have hindered him his entire career. He's having a mediocre season for the Rockies' Double-A affiliate this year.
Anyway, back to Dopirak.
The hulking first baseman (6'4", 235) didn't get off to the greatest of starts in his first two years, putting up mediocre numbers in short-season ball and brief exposure to Low-A.
There's nothing wrong with that: As a high school draftee, Dopirak made his full-season debut at age 20.
And what a debut it was.
Dopirak soared up prospect lists with an impossibly good season in arguably the most pitcher-friendly league in baseball. His 39 homers were three shy of establishing a Midwest League record, and he hit .307/.363/.593.
He was ranked as the Cubs' No. 1 prospect coming into 2005 and was arguably the top power prospect in the game.
After all, who doesn't like a .300-hitting first baseman with 50-HR potential who's already made it to High-A at age 21?
Sent to High-A to begin 2005, Dopirak started slowly.
Hey, it happens.
After 2004's greatness, Dopirak clearly wasn't expecting to struggle. He tried to break out of his slump by changing his swing, and all that did was throw him off.
He never got on track, hitting a miserable .235/.289/.381.
The Cubs were encouraged by Dopirak's strong spring the next year, so they sent him to Double-A. Dopirak responded by breaking his foot running the bases on Opening Day, missed two months, came back, was terrible, and then had more surgery on the foot.
Two years after his huge 2004, Dopirak hit one home run in 52 games.
He posted a line of .256/.330/.359.
It shows how much promise Dopirak once held that, after all that, he was still ranked the No. 12 Cubs prospect by Baseball America.
Dopirak, finally healthy, got a shot at Double-A again in 2007 and did even worse, hitting .218/.247/.269 in 21 games before being demoted back to High-A.
He actually wasn't awful there, hitting .277/.325/.490, but he was old for the level at that point.
The Cubs looked at Dopirak's three years of poor play and released him following a poor 2008 spring.
You'd think that most teams wouldn't want a first baseman who hadn't hit in three years.
But the Blue Jays had an idea.
The Blue Jays' High-A affiliate is in Dunedin, FL. That's the same place where Dopirak and Ryan Harvey were slugging phenoms in high school.
The Blue Jays thought that if they signed Dopirak and assigned him to Dunedin, there was a chance he'd relax in the familiar surroundings and find his 2004 form.
They were right.
Dopirak put up near identical numbers to 2004 (.308/.382/.577) in his third try at High-A. After three years going absolutely nowhere, Dopirak was finally on the right track, and, at 24, he was just young enough to have the smallest of chances to carve out a big-league career.
Of course, there was the elephant in the room: What would happen when Dopirak left Dunedin?
The Blue Jays finally gave him a Double-A look in the last month of the 2008 season.
He was okay...he wasn't 2006-2007 awful at the level, but a .287/.297/.425 line is pretty underwhelming, especially for a first baseman.
The Blue Jays gave Dopirak, now 25, a fourth (and most likely final) chance to prove he could hit upper-minors pitching this year.
And five years after the big 2004 in Low-A, Dopirak finally came through.
In yet another pitcher's league, Dopirak is having essentially the same season as 2004 and 2008, as he's hitting .308/.374/.576 at the Eastern League All-Star break. He leads the league in slugging and home runs, and a Triple-A callup is probably coming soon.
You have to admire Dopirak for persevering through three years of struggles and unlocking his considerable potential. He still has the ability to be a big-time slugger in the majors if he plays well in Triple-A and a team gives him the opportunity.
Brian Dopirak's long, winding road to the Eastern League All-Star Game is another story in a long line of those that make the game of baseball what it is.
NOTE: Dopirak was called up to Triple-A Las Vegas later in the day I wrote this article.

10.3 Recharge from landscape
Supporting information
a. Groundwater model
The Department of Land Resource Management use the Finite Element Subsurface Flow system (FEFLOW) to estimate the natural water movement to and from the groundwater store within the Daly region.
FEFLOW estimates groundwater movement for the entire extent of the Oolloo aquifer and the Tindall aquifer, which extends beyond the Daly region boundary as shown in the figure below. The volumes reported in this account refer to the natural water movement that occurs within these aquifers within the Daly region boundary.
Map of the groundwater model area relative to the Daly region boundary
The Oolloo and Tindall aquifers are karstic and were modelled as an equivalent porous media with relatively limited storage. The groundwater model was calibrated using regional aquifer parameters to reproduce the observed groundwater levels and discharge to the rivers, as outlined in Knapton et al. (2010).
b. Supporting information
The volume recognised in the water accounting statements (2,970,000 ML) represents the volume of diffuse recharge to groundwater stores within the Daly region from the landscape during the 2011–12 year.
Quantification approach
Data source
FEFLOW groundwater model.
Provided by
Department of Land Resource Management.
Diffuse recharge from the landscape into aquifers within the region was estimated using the FEFLOW. Recharge into the aquifers occurs via the following pathways:
- direct recharge of excess soil moisture;
- precipitation 'channelled' through the unsaturated zone via macropores; and
- localised indirect recharge of surface water that is channelled into karstic features such as dolines (sinkholes).
Detailed information on the model calibrations are provided in Knapton et al. (2010).
Assumptions, limitations, caveats and approximations
It has been found that this methodology has not quantified the increase in recharge during wetter periods in the rainfall record when compared to groundwater level hydrographs and gauged flows.
Uncertainty information
The uncertainty estimate was not quantified.

Full Product Description
Do you long for a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life? Do you believe all the right things, go to church, and faithfully read your Bible, still feeling that something is missing? You may be right.
Two thousand years ago Jesus gave an urgent assignment to his followers right before he left. At its essence it was not just an invitation to believe; it was a bold call to action. It was a challenge to go into the world to reclaim, reform, and restore it for Christ.
Simply stated, the message of this book is that God has invited you to join him in this world-changing mission. And if you are not personally participating in God?s great endeavour, you could be missing the very thing he created you to do.
Best-selling author Rich Stearns invites you not just to stand on the sidelines but to get into the game. That is when the adventure begins.
Unfinished by Richard Stearns was published by Thomas Nelson in January 2014 and is our 16491st best seller. The ISBN for Unfinished is 9780529101143.

As Liberalism Leads Us over the Edge
November 8, 2012
KRISTOR writes:
I thought Romney would win comfortably. And because I have been more and more impressed with how decent, normal, upright and generous a man he seems to be (not to mention intelligent, skilled, and experienced), I had begun to feel that he had a real shot at deflecting us from the course toward the precipice, despite his liberalism.
Now, I see that we are going to go over.
I have to remind myself of the time years ago when I slipped into a flume, which I wrote about here. From that entry:
When I was 17 and hiking along the edge of the Cumberland Plateau, I slipped on wet granite and slid down a slippery rock slope into a flume that poured over the edge only ten feet away. I hit the water–only about eight inches deep, but really cooking along over slick smooth rock–and it shot me toward the lip of the waterfall. Desperately I tried to stop myself, but it was no good. I was going over. I would fall 300 feet, and die. So I resigned myself to that–there was nothing else to do–and over I went. I landed 15 feet below in a pool that poured over the real edge 10 feet away. I bounced out of the pool and up onto the bank, about 12 feet in a single bound, and shook myself, incredulous. My life had been given back. I laughed and laughed. Not because it was funny, but because it was impossibly beautiful.
I knew I was going to go over, and die. So I just turned and faced that. And then even though I did go over the edge of the precipice that I could see, I only fell about fifteen feet. I lived, and went on within three years to abandon my liberalism and live a larger, truer life than I might have if I had never slipped and fallen.
It might not be so bad for us to go over the precipice. And, if it turns out that in going over we do all die, and the West dies, well, … it had to happen sometime. The good news there: think of the huge crop of martyrs! Onward, Christian soldiers!

"It might not be so bad for us to go over the precipice. And, if it turns out that in going over we do all die, and the West dies, well, … it had to happen sometime."
This does not describe our situation. We are not facing death in the sense of disappearance from this world. We, and those who come after us, are facing losing the good things we have and being dragged down to a vastly lower and harsher state of existence.
Kristor writes:
In response to Mr. Auster, the first option I now view as a virtual certainty. I think the probability that we will now enter a depression on the scale of what happened in the 30s is very high. Recall that after the Crash of 29, there was actually quite a healthy recovery of the stock market – although not of employment – up until about 1934. Then, with the full implementation of the New Deal finally kicking in, the Depression set in with a vengeance. This is what I now expect will happen. The news of widespread layoffs in the corporate world is already beginning.
Curiously, as in the 30s, there is an enemy of the West out there, determined to conquer us. It is a totalitarian system that hates the Jews, the Christians, the homosexuals, etc. As in the 30s, the West has been pretending just as hard as it can that this enemy can be swayed to good behavior by negotiations, concessions, and appeasement, and refusing even to think about the possibility of war. As with our enemy in the 30s, we are terrified of it, even though it is, for now, a paper tiger – as was our enemy in the 30s, even up through the invasion of Czechoslovakia. The parallels are spooky. They go on and on.
So it does not seem unlikely that we could now be setting forth on a five or ten year long Depression, followed by a cataclysmic world war.
This is what I mean by going over the precipice.
And I don't view it as such a bad thing. It is not the worst outcome. The worst outcome, as I said, is that traditional Christians will be persecuted in the West, and that the West will then vanish from history forever. This outcome is a real possibility now for the first time. But I view it as relatively remote; there are just too many Christians with guns, for this outcome to seem very likely. The precipice, on the other hand, is virtually certain.
Why will the precipice not be such a bad thing? Because when a civilization goes through a crisis on the scale of the Depression and WW II, it has an opportunity to "reboot," or go through what I have called a "phase change." When things fall apart, you must put them back together, and the devastation of what came before provides an opportunity to put them back together better than they were before.

Urban Forests In EuropeEntry ID: EFI_Urban_Forest
Abstract: The main objectives of the Urban Forests In Europe study is to provide an
indicative, comparative insight in urban forest policy-making in Europe, as an
overview of European urban forest policy-making seems to have been absent till
now. Providing more insight into the various policy objectives and instruments
used as well as into their consequences can assist when developing urban forest
policies ... for a specific urban area, region or country. Insight in the
policy-making process and the problems and conflicts that arise between groups
of stakeholders during this process, as well as the ways in which these
problems and conflicts are dealt with in various European cities and countries
is believed to help policy-makers to anticipate similar situations in the
future. Apart from the above mentioned 'societal' objectives, the following
scientific objectives for the study have been formulated:
1. To develop a concept of urban forestry, focusing on the main differences
with forestry at large; to demonstrate the relevance of such a distinction.;
2. To give an overview and analysis of differences and similarities - and their
underlying factors - in the development and importance of urban forests in
selected European cities and countries.;
3. To provide insight in urban forest policies and the way in which these are
formulated, decided upon and implemented in selected European countries,
especially locally, and in the context of the regional and national level.

It scares me how often money is top of the list for so many women.
I was talking to a woman recently and as usually happens, the topic of what I do came up. After explaining that I write books, do public speaking and led workshops and seminars about relationships, she told me she was looking for a man to be in a relationship with.
Everything she said she was looking for had to do with how much money he needed to make. This is NOT how you get a man to fall in love with you.
It scares me how often money is top of the list for so many women. Whatever happened to wanting a nice man, a loving man, a kind man, a caring man? Whatever happened to looking at how capable a man is of loving and being able participate in creating and sustaining a fulfilling relationship? Maybe that's why so many women have trouble finding their "dream" guy. That dream guy can smell a woman's selfish, self-centered, materialism a mile away. That's what a man feels when he comes across this kind of woman.
Men, on the other hand, generally state "attractive" as their first item of what they're looking for, then "smart." Of course, men also forget to mention wanting a woman who can join him in creating a beautiful relationship that grows in love over time, but that's mostly because they assume the woman is the relationship expert. One of my primary goals is to help people get back to what being in a relationship is really about.
The goal ought to be to feel loved, fulfilled, content and happy because of how their partner helps enhance their life. Instead, all too often, women get into a relationship, then, after a time, wonder what's missing, sensing that something isn't right, without knowing what.
Here's what needs to be on the top of the list:
Being loved
Being seen
Feeling supported
Feeling accepted for who we are
Having someone to share your life with
Having great *sex*
Sharing deep, heart-to-heart intimacy
Knowing someone is there for you
Being able to create a truly fulfilling, heart-centered relationship
None of these things come naturally to most men, or women, for that matter. Nature is about survival. Most of us don't have to deal with survival so we get the luxury to ask for more. The problem is that most people seem to be focused on what they want, rather than what they can offer and what it means to have love as the center point of a relationship. Kind of like being back in the survival mode.
To create a truly satisfying relationship you need to open your heart and look at what your spirit needs. The outer material things will not hold you in the night. And we all know plenty of very rich people who get divorced… each and every day. How much a man makes and how gorgeous a woman is is not what you build an enduring, long-term, holding hands when you're 90, kind of relationship.

ek is happy, baie happy, even earl rose kan maar bly , ek is nie gepla oor hom nie. Maar..................wat die donner soek january in die span. Hy is so kwota soos hulle kom. Kies dan eerder vir donnerse Samson Nxumalo van die griekwaland oos se 12 de span in die oosterse distrikte van wesselsbron.
WTF ???????????? Earl Rose ????? Sorry to say but PDV is smoking something, and it is no good for him.
Can not believe Rose, Chilliboy and January was picked before players like Kirchner, Tereblanche and Heinrich Brussow. Brussow can really feel cheated.....
Earl Rose better than Stefan Terblanche?????? WTF!!! God help us!
No Stefan? No Zane?? PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE don't put Rose in 15! I can't bear to watch...

Goeie span maar nie die beste. Voel jammer vir Kuhn van Bulle, Terblanche van Sharks, Peter Grant van Stormers en Vermaak van die Leeus. Dit is net jammer dat die span nie die sterkste is wat Suid Afrika in die veld kan stoot nie en dat talent opgeoffer word in die naam van politiek soos in die verlede.
What an amazing pool of talent is available in South african rugby that we can have two teams with that much quality run onto the park and still have room for a third. Watching from a pub in London I hope we give the Lions a snotklap! Go Bokke!
Wat die hel soek Earl Rose daar???
Earl Rose in both squads? How many times does Div need to see how rubbish he is?
3 fullbacks in the emerging boks side. The 2 best players in that position over the current season, Stefan Terblanche and Zane Kirchner, arent even in the bok squad. (At least Zane is in the Emerging team)
Ricky, count yourself lucky after a below average season.
When you play the Lions, you put your best 15 on form in that side. I hope this doesnt come back to bite the BOKS. (as history has shown)
Forwards should hopefully dominate. What a great pack! Surely the best in World Rugby at the moment
What must Derek Minnie still do to proof that he is by far the best?
why is earl rose in both teams? and where is heinrich brussouw?
Good for Morne Steyn. Pity Brussow and Johan Muller was not included in the 'Bok squad. We now have three hookers as John Smit will not be up to the challenge as prop.
I hope this works as the best team may be selected but injuries may bare a few weaknesses in off-the-bench players.
and NR 15 is... mmmm not so sure this was a good play. Rest ok i think
1. They got the twins mixed up. Aikona better this time
2. Brussow should have been there
3. Kirchner much better investment than ROSE
Earl you Legend!!! Cannot wait for the Legend to turn up the heat! Rest of the team looks fine although I believe that Zane could be a bit disappointed.
and is ricky january picked on form? what about the form of jano vermaak? he will surely feel unlucky... jean deysel could have been the wild card against the lions who would know very little about him.... back to form,, how come akona ndgunane is picked over his brother from the bulls who had a better season on from and who doesnt make either aquad?
wouldnt it be funny if the brothers took turns turning up for games and practice! do you think the coaches would notice?
PIETER DIRK YS DE VILLIERS. Ek haal my hoed af vir jou, sodat ek al my skilfers op jou kan af krap. Daar kies jy toe wragtig Earl Rose. En wragtig kies jy Schalk Burger en Juan Smit as jou enigste 2 flanke en wragtig kies jy nie kirchner, Brussouw, Luke, Akona en Stefan Terreblance nie, Wragtig kies jy Frans steyn!!! en wragtig waar kies jy alweer vir jacobz. Jys rerig n patetiese Afrigter. Jy se jy wil he die spelers moet die besluite op die veld neem wanneer hulle speel? so wat de %%% doen jy? is jy die span sielkundige of wat. Luister hier, jys n rasis boet. Ricky January?? hyt maande laas aan sy eie bal gevat nevermind n rugby bal. Vir die volgende reeks stem ek vir die lions. Ek hoop hulle verniel SA 3 - 0. en ek hoop ons gaan die drie nasies vir die eerste jaar sonder n wen afsluit, en ek hoop jy verloor al jou wedstryde, hoe vinniger jy as afrigter ontslaan word, hoe vinniger kan ons werklik met trots se ons is beter as die all blacks, lyk my jy is n vurige all black ondersteuner PDV, wil net underperforming blacks kies in jou span
Great Team, except for sissy Rose. She must be replaced with Zane Kirchner. We can not afford to have woosies in the team.... and yes, I am a Bulls supporter.
Ek soek net vir Dewald Potgieter in die plek van Kankowski; Werner Kruger in John Smit se plek, Heini Adams in die plek van Ricky Januarie, JP Nel in Jean Div se plek en Kirchner in Frans Steyn se plek. Dan het ons 'n span wat die enige span in die wêreld enige plek sal klop. Kan nie verstaan hoe die keurders hierdie ouens misgekyk het nie?
I agree! Earl Rose????? Stupid transformation system, give me a break.
Please can someone tell me wtf does EARL ROSE do in the team ??? Seariously , this is a joke ;( No disrespect to Earl , but he is just not ``bok material`` ! Hopefully I am wrong , but I doubt it .
So we have 3 loose head props, 3 hookers and no tight head (the most important player) and no (quality) full back.
Earl Rose is completely over rated. I agree that Zane Kirchner would be a much better investment. As a person of colour myself, I cannot wait for the day that players are picked on merit and not to satisfy quota requirements.
Earl Rose is not even close to having the form to play for the Bokke, this Quota system is messing up our rugby :S
PDV must be smoking something. Still keeping Blaps Rose in the sqaud in place of Zane Kirchner? It has nothing to do with colour.
What has to do with Colour is that the 2nd and 3rd choice hookers for the Bulls were chosesen for the Boks and emerging boks and the first choice hooker is nowhere? Come on PDV. Be a coach that selects players on Merit and P.S Cut off the SNOR. We have moved on since the 1980's!!!
is daar dan twee earls met dieselfde vanne...ek het nog net een gesien speel en dis pateties. waar is Rory? Rory speel January onder die tafel in al speel Rory op sy slegste...aggenee Div, jy moet bril begin dra!
The Bok coach still has to pick the right team from this lineup. Let's hope he doesn't choke. The last time SA beat the British and Irish Lions was in 1980 (Bill Beaumont's side - nearly 30 years ago) and in 1968 (41 years ago). So, if history is anything to go by, the Lions are hard to beat. This is an important series. Now is not the time to "build" for the next world cup or whatever. The scoreboard does not have a "remarks" column. I can't say that De Villiers's comments (the coach, not the player) at Boktown inspired me with confidence, but, then again, actions speak louder than words.
We will lose the games without Brussouw. At least Luke Watson is not in the picture...Dankie tog!!!
Chiliboy deserves to be picked he's worked hard . Chili is a solid hooker, derick is kuk in the lineouts all he wants to do is be a superstar and try and intercept. All you Chiliboy haters will see. He's gonna make it to the top and all u can do is watch and moan like b*&ches! ha ha
The Boks can't afford to have a passenger like Earl Rose in the team - the Lions will exploit that!
Oh come on Earl Rose but not Jano???
they got a couple of player of the year guys in the side so it's just fair that they picked "ROSE the "worst rugby player of the century" booyah
Earl Rose??? Wanneer het hy enigsins bewys hy is nog in staat om kwaliteit rugby te speel? Vir die game teen die Britse Leeus is hy as reserwe in die span!!
Come on guys - pleeze tel me - why is the best loose forward in South Africa left out of the squad? Sad that Luke will probably have to be the victim of politics
Januarie kan ek nog verstaan. Maar WAT DE V*K soek Rose in die span? En dit bo Zane? Asseblief PDV. Rose is USELESS. Kies op kwaliteit, nie op wie jou die meeste betaal nie.
Grootste foute: Weglating van Brussouw, Jano Vermaak; insluiting van vetgat Januarie. Moet in hemelsnaam nie vir Rose op heelagter speel nie!
So to play the lions we have no fetcher and no fullback
Good overall tons of experience.
Watch out lions!!!
However there is NO specialist FULL BACK in the team. So why leave out ZANE and put EARL in? Makes NO SENSE. Also Ricky J has passed his sell by date, time for a new scrum half. He is reliable and experienced, I guess he is a safe pick.
Morne Steyn well done.
So the Springbok squad has the fourth best fullback in the super 14 in Earl Rose (after Stefan, Ludik and Kirchner) while the emerging springboks (keep in mind they only have 1 game) have both Ludik, Kirchner PLUS EARL ROSE!! I dont know about you, but to me this is blatant favouritism, and besides the fact that its so laughable (Earl Rose is only on the bench for golden lions against lions!), its very sad as even if Earl Rose is good enough to be a springbok (debatable) he shouldnt be in emerging springboks as well. Thats very unfair to so many other aspiring fullbacks (like joe pietersen) who perhaps deserve it more. VERY untasteful mr Devilliers.
Dewald not in the main bok camp is beyond me, that man plays his heart out reminds me of Schalk before he bust his neck. As for Earl Rose well ja wat!!! if u say so Div.
PDV your brains must be getting sqaushed by two cheeks. Why Ricky and Earl? Where they good enough even as bench warmers in the Super 14???DUH.
Surely this is the time for the best team to be selected...you should know this by now...or clearly do not have the final say.
I think you will see the light yet, hopefully not too late, although fairly good with all the others selections.
Good team. Stefan Terblanche and Heinrich Brussow can feel cheated. Earl Rose should start playing so that Div can see he is out of his league before he ends up in the tri-nations squad. January and Burger wil also have something to prove on latest form. Good luck. This team has the goods to thrash the Lions.
Selectors need to identify a new bok captain as John Smit's recent player performance in the super 14 was really weak. If he's needed so badely in the bok camp, surely there's some other function for him to do off the rugby field.
Ja, Earl jy was n doring maar is nou op n duikboot, wat die bokke gaan laat sink!! Januarie is lankal verby en ons is in Junie!!! Pieter asb besef dat jy nie meer net by WP betrokke is nie. My span is Zane, Habana, "Die ander broer"Nonkwe", Wynand, Frans, Morne, Fourie, Steenkamp, John, Bismark, Bakkies, Victor, Piere, Danie, Jaun.
Can you imagine BoD breaking the line and all we have as the last line of diffence is our elastoplast man Earl Rose!! Maybe he will get injured at practise and put all our worries at rest! Why cant we just pick form players, Earl was going to be on the bench for Goldens Lion match for wednesday game, WTF, now he could be starting fullback???
I think our selectors are missing the point.99.9% of the country won't pick January , Rose purely on bad form.Poor Vermaak , Brussouw ,Potgieter , Kockett ,Terblanche and Kircshner.It is time that you politics out of our sport and start picking the best or piss off and leave it for the people to do.
Earl Doze - NNooooooooo please-Zane or Stefan are far superior than this twatt. It's like an accident waiting to happen - just hope I'm not a bystander.
look guys, i seriously think it's time we boiqot these matches to send a strong message to PDV. We are the fans, we pay every single person involved with rugby their monthly salary. What a disgrace ( AND STRONG MESSAGE ) we would send out by not attending the lion tour matches. Or do you people just want to continue being pushed around? this crap has got to stop

How to start your digital journey on the right foot
The path to digital transformation can be rocky, so I'm casting an eye over some of the big challenges that businesses face and offering a few pointers on how to counter them.
Digital transformation is a hot topic around many boardroom tables, regardless of company size, sector or country of operation. It can seem like a daunting task. Adapting a firm's culture, processes and technology to meet the needs of fast-changing multichannel customers isn't the kind of thing you'll have nailed down before lunch! Add to the mix an array of vendors and agencies pushing the latest buzzwords and hyped-up fads, and you have a recipe for confusion.
Little wonder recent research from Gartner found that 51% of CIOs felt their organizations weren't ready to respond to the pace of digital change.
Of course, digital transformation isn't just about technology for technology's sake. It's about using data to improve the way you engage with customers. It's about unifying web content so your brand speaks with one consistent voice. It can even involve digitizing your supply chain to improve availability and reduce costs.
Four ways to kickstart your digital journey
Whatever the specifics, people embarking on this journey constantly refer to the same issues. So here are four of the most common I hear about, together with some thoughts on how to overcome them.
1. A solution just for me. Just as your customers dislike generic messages and untargeted content, businesses too prefer a tailored approach, not a standard template that's rolled out again and again. Many larger technology service providers favor this route because it works for them, but digital is all about personalization.
Recently a client of ours decided it was time to rationalize the number of CMSes in its business—the count had ballooned to more than 30. The client was swamped by claims from dozens of vendors, each asserting that its solution was the right one for the business. In reality, no single answer was capable of meeting the company's requirements on its own, but with good, impartial advice that focused on its requirements, the client was able to establish the right combination of tools for its long-term needs.
A cookie-cutter methodology based on assumptions won't deliver the differentiation you need to stand out from your competitors. It has to begin with reviewing yourbusiness problem, understanding your customer engagement and allowing a customized solution to flow from there. Beware the vendor that says it has the perfect solution all ready for you.
2. Move with speed and agility. A successful digital journey doesn't mean rebooting your entire operation and starting from scratch. Anyone who's been in business a while has all sorts of legacy systems and processes that need to be accounted for, even as the front end zips toward a bright new future. If that means agile, iterative processes are called for, your digital partner should be able to deliver that, rather than dictate a predetermined path.
Optimizing your existing supply chain at the same time as delivering an exciting new customer experience is incredibly important. Think about the last great online experience you had that wasn't backed up by an equally impressive standard of delivery. Maybe the item you ordered was out of stock or the service fully subscribed. Perhaps something got delivered to the wrong address, or, as happened to me recently, the order never even reached the fulfillment department. Did you give that company a second chance? I certainly didn't!
It's this dual-speed execution that delivers real value for all. Make sure the vital parts of your value chain aren't getting left behind.
3. Bring me ideas. Many digital transformations fail to reach their potential because they haven't pushed the boundaries of what's possible and looked far enough into the future. A lot of suitors simply don't have what it takes to support you with meaningful innovation and imagination. What you're looking for is one that can call upon a broad mix of skills to create new concepts and models that have genuine potential to add value to your business.
During my time in the food industry, I came across three kinds of supplier: the one-product wonders, the time wasters and the innovators. The first two were equally as bad when it came to innovation. They either relied too heavily on a single product to deliver growth, or threw the kitchen sink at me with endless "innovations" that were neither customer-focused nor insight-driven. The innovators, while few and far between, were worth their weight in gold because of their creativity and their commitment to long-term growth.
When you find an innovative partner that clicks with your team, you'll start to realize all kinds of new possibilities. That's when you'll truly begin to see what your business's future could look like.
4. A partner I can rely on. When all's said and done, digital transformation is a complex task. By its nature, reaching your objectives takes a number of partners, all working smoothly together: strategic, creative, technical; large, medium and small. Yet if you don't have a central linchpin with the expertise and culture to collaborate well, it could lead to problems. Everyone will say they're collaborative, but dig deeper and see if that's really written into a company's DNA. Your multivendor ecosystem deserves an anchor partner with the right attitude and experience to make it work for you.

My husband turned me on to Boardwalk Empire and I've been catching up the first four seasons so that they two of us can finish the rest of the seasons together. I'm surprised I didn't get to it sooner since I love the history of the Jersey Shore and its role during Prohibition. In fact, those two elements played major roles in GHOST OF A CHANCE and my story in A VAMPIRE FOR CHRISTMAS.
Today's Man Candy is one of the actors from that series and the remake of BEN-HUR that just released this weekend: Jack Huston.
In Boardwalk Empire, Jack plays Richard Harrow, a physically disfigured military vet who gets caught up in the intrigues of Prohibition in Atlantic City when he is befriended by another vet who brings him to Atlantic City. He did such an awesome job in that role, that we'll definitely go to watch Ben-Hur (although I wonder why anyone would try to remake a classic that still has a record 11 Oscars.)
Interesting fact about Jack: He is both British and Hollywood royalty. His mother is Lady Margot Lavinia (Cholmondeley) and on his paternal side he is the grandson of famed Hollywood direction John Huston.

However, the discovery gap between online an in-store book outlets is not necessarily what you may think. The research from The Codex Group notes that for books purchased online, only seven percent of those units were discovered online and discovered in-store only twenty percent of the time. Moreover, in-store sales account for 39 percent of units sold.
In other words, though online sales are accounting now for the lion's share of book sales, almost twice as many books are purchased in bookstores than are discovered there. In other words, lots of people are still making the journey to a local bookstore with a specific title in mind. At the same time, online portals, including those dedicated to book discovery such as Goodreads, aren't a major factor as of yet in helping people to find books worth reading.
Book industry experts in the article suggest that booksellers should up their commitment to local bookstore outlets as one logical conclusion from this research, supporting concepts such as daily deals that have been made popular via online book selling sites. But I think that this is an incomplete view of what needs to be done to improve the connection between book discovery and book sales. One key hint lies in the second-most powerful conversion channel between content discovery and content sales: author Web sites. Although visits to author Web sites or blogs account for only about 4 percent of online content discovery activities in the study, they account for about 3.1 percent of conversions from online discovery to actual sales - a conversion rate of about 76 percent.
That's by far the highest conversion rate of all surveyed sources, and it highlights the notion that having a sense of both authors and their fans is a key factor in choosing books for purchase. What this means to me is that the huge gap in book discovery is in developing the ability of people to share their enthusiasm about books in a way that makes it easy for people who they know to share their enthusiasm. Generally these are real-world relationships that create these connections, both in the retail space - trusted booksellers - and personal acquaintances. Tightening the ability of someone to move from personal influence to transactions is the real key to improving book sales.
It's notable that while Amazon dominates online book sales and is the "go-to" starting point for 66 percent of online book browsing activity, it's only reaping about 6.6 percent of sales from those visits - a ten percent conversion rate. That's the second-best rate of the surveyed sources but a distant second in the actual rate, even if the volume of those visits build their revenues. This means that there are enormous gaps in Amazon's ability to act as a trusted source of book recommendations and discovery tools.
+Google+, Google's rapidly growing social media portal, enables users to embed links to their online Google Play bookstore in posts on that servie, along with a link to preview content from a book. This is a good example of the sorts of things that could be done to enable individual enthusiasm for a book to translate much more directly to browsing and purchasing activity. But, it's only a start - and since it's tied to one social media platform and one specific book-selling platform, it's not going to solve the greater picture of getting personal recommendations translated into transactions more universally.
A few things might help book publishers to maximize the value of trusted recommendations:
- Standards for social sharing. While there are a lot of good experiments online for sharing book content, overall it's a rabbit warren of little ideas that just aren't scaling. If personal recommendations and sharing are the primary key to book discovery, why are there not industry-wide standards to facilitate them across all ebook discovery and sales platforms? These standards should include enabling excerpts to be read, ability to discover prices and availability and to link directly to any purchase execution channel.
- Standards for on-demand local printing. Local bookstores are likely to remain vital if they can do a better job of matching their ability to meet demand at least as well as online stores. Print-on-demand would seem to be one of the best tools for this capability, making it far more likely that a visitor to a store is actually going to purchase things. But print on demand need not be just about picking up pre-purchased items. It's also a major merchandizing opportunity, giving the merchant data that could help them to guide the visitor into other in-store items and even to custom-tailor in-store displays, both physical and virtual, to the expected visitors coming to pick up pre-sold merchandize. If an existing customer is your best source of new business, then print-on-demand has enormous potential to build upon that concept in local retailing for books.
- Focusing on book conversations as key marketing vehicles. If markets are conversations - the old Cluetrain Manifesto axiom that gets only more relevant as time goes on - then booksellers need more than just a few talk shows to drive conversations for their authors. There has been a marked improvement in these sorts of facilities at bookseller sites, but the general environment where people actually engage people whose interests they trust - social media - is still highly under-engaged for these sorts of interchanges. Targeting bloggers, key influencers in social media communities and other trusted peers should be focused on much more heavily by agents and book marketers as sales starters for both new and existing titles, much as other marketers use social media monitoring tools to understand where they need to engage potential audiences.
None of these are likely to be sure-fire solutions, but they do show that although the book industry has been hard at work in trying to come to terms with online book discovery, they're really just at the foothills of this process. Many of the processes required to succeed in this environment may seem to be counterintuitive, especially when it comes to brand-building, but they are necessary for any successful book publishers. Without mastery of these tools, we can expect bookselling to drift away further from established marketing channels. That may not be a bad thing necessarily, but it will represent a major missed opportunity for them to do the next right thing.

Legendary Buckeye football coach Woody Hayes taught those he coached to "pay forward." Student-athletes at The Ohio State University (OSU) have since continued that tradition off the field/court and in their communities. Michael Redd, former guard on the Buckeye men's basketball squad (1997-2000) and currently a guard for the National Basketball Association Milwaukee Bucks, is doing just that as he accepted honorary chairmanship of the 31st Annual Woody Hayes Celebrity Golf Classic.
The annual golf event, slated for June 25 at the New Albany Country Club, is organized by the Development Board of Columbus Children's Hospital and raises money to help child-abuse treatment and prevention programs in central Ohio. This year's proceeds will benefit the Center for Child and Family Advocacy, a partnership between Columbus Children's Hospital and the Columbus Coalition Against Family Violence.
There are various opportunities to participate in the 2007 Woody Hayes Celebrity Golf Classic. The two most popular options are as follows: Scarlet Teams ($3,000 team registration) will consist of players of four and the Gray Teams ($1,500 team registration) will include players of two. Foursomes will be paired with a local media or sports celebrity. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available beginning at the $4,000 level.
Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with the driving range open to participants for practice. The shot-gun start will begin at 11 a.m.
All golfers will receive lunch, dinner, drinks and a registration gift package. Two tickets will be given to each golfer for the Kick-Off Party held June 24 at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Café. The Kick-Off Party includes cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and a silent and live auction.
To reserve a spot in the 2007 Woody Hayes Celebrity Golf Classic, contact Kris Mazzola, Columbus Children's Hospital Foundation, at (614) 722-2956 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Development Board of Columbus Children's Hospital is a group of corporate volunteers dedicated to raising money to support Children's mission. The Development Board raised more than $630,000 in 2006 through fund-raisers including the Woody Hayes Celebrity Golf Classic, Rock 'N Bowl, the Slice of Columbus. The Development Board had raised more than $3.5 million for Children's since it was founded in 1971.

Best Buy is changing its Reward Zone loyalty program, starting with a new name: My Best Buy.
The Richfield-based electronics retailer said in a rollout video posted Monday: "We're renaming it and improving it, but we're not changing the things you love about it."
If you're one of the 40 million customers with an existing Reward Zone account, all your points will be carried over, the company promised.
As before, customers earn one point for every $1 they spend at Best Buy. But under the new program, the biggest-spending customers can qualify for two new membership levels.
Customers who spend $1,500 at Best Buy in a calendar year will qualify for Elite level, which removes the $25 minimum from free standard shipping, provides a 10 percent bonus in points earned, and doubles the period for returns and exchanges to 30 days.
Customers who spend $3,500 at Best Buy in a calendar year will qualify for Elite Plus. That offers free expedited shipping, provides a 25 percent bonus in points earned, and triples the standard return/exchange period to 45 days.

Modapharma.com is leading the way in nootropic medications. Now it's simple and easy for anyone to discover the power of Modafinil and Armodafinil.
Simply visit the store, read the information, pick the brand and pay by card. Simple.
Modapharma does something which is rare, they actually provide a 3rd party certificate of analysis demonstrating that their products are what they say they are. One of the biggest problems with the Biohacking industry is that vendors are selling supplements that are not actually verified to be what they are marketed to be. If you purchase a supplement just because it says on the label or website that it contains X ingredient that really is a decision based on faith more than anything else. Now this is a much bigger problem for fancy Nutraceutical products or Nootropic stacks than it is for single ingredient smart drugs like Modafinil or powdered supplements but it's still quiet meaningful that they have recent lab analysis done within the past year, which you can view here for yourself.
Mind Power Products
Modvigil 200mg Tablets (from $0.87 per pill) (Generic Modafinil)
Artvigil 150mg Tablets (from $0.97 per pill) (Generic Armodafinil)

Boy am I animated now!
Boy, am I animated now!
Received my Armodafinil from modapharma.com earlier after one of you alerted me that it had been delivered. I thanked God that no one was at the door demanding my presence! I took a 150mg tablet at1:25pm. I will now briefly tell its effects up to 5 hrs post-ingestion in a non-fed state.
After an hour, I definitely felt the Dopamine flush, but it was accompanied by a Serotonin surge. D-amphetamine is a direct-acting Dopamine reuptake inhibitor, so I have 7 years experience feeling a pure Dopamine surge. I have not taken any D-amphetamine for a week or more so there are no confounding effects of that to mask Armodafinil's effects. The dual feelings of Dopamine and Serotonin were unmistakable. I have 2 distinct types of pain: visceral pain that responds almost solely to Opioids, impulses carried by small, unmyelinated A nerve fibers, the other is spasmodic, muscle spasm pain , impulses carried by larger, myelinated C fibers, that is totally ablated by only Butalbital, the active ingredient of Fiorinal and Fioricet.
I had purposefully not taken kratom recently enough so that both pains would be in full force. The results were: BOTH types of pain decreased to where I could almost walk without my cane, a measure of decreased C fiber activity(muscle spasm) and the visceral pain(A fibers usually responding to only an Opioid) was tolerable also. BP felt slightly elevated, and was indeed 126/84, not worrisome. Heart rate very slightly increased by palpitation, a feeling that a headache was about to happen(Serotonin surge) but it never did, felt only slightly euphoric but definitely not dysphoric, No bodily temperature increase, no desire to want more, increased alertness and attention span increasing. Mood, energy, likeability all slightly increased, but sexual desire decreased(Serotonin). ADHD definitely affected positively,i.e., less distractibility, more intense focus, more desire to start and complete tasks(I was extracting kratom for increasing my stock).
Pain became a problem a couple of hours later. I took my normal dose of kratom, but another Armodafinil at 6:30pm with the kratom. Within 30 minutes, I feel like I have taken a 15mg ER D-amphetamine. Mood, energy, concentration, pain relief, alertness, attention span, desire to start and complete tasks all much improved. Like I told you earlier, I usually require larger than average doses of most drugs. Now I was where I needed to be: pain-free, on-task and enjoying it, The second Armodafinil definitely moved me to where D-amphetamine does with the exceptions of increased sexual desire, euphoria and the exaggerated feeling of being on top of the world, meaning the aforementioned didn't happen. I feel good but not high, completely attentive and capable and the pain has definitely been attenuated greatly(equal to D-amphetamine I think). With the kratom, which has definitely been augmented by Armodafinil at this dose, the pain definitely lessened from an 8/10 to a 3/10. ADHD is controlled as well as with D-amphetamine. There remains a slight hint of a headache, but it doesn't actually happen. No other side effects are discernible except anorexia.
Overall evaluation objectively and compared to D-amphetamine: With the higher dose, almost all parameters much improved with pain and ADHD. Best as an adjuvant with pain, but with ADHD an acceptable sole agent.Compared to D-amphetamine, at the higher dose, equal in most measures except the ones that cause problems with overuse. One word of caution, acceptable results were not obtained until I exceeded by twice the literature-recommended dose. A slightly higher dose than these may provide the qualitative increase in intellectual ability supposedly characteristic of nootropics. But, I haven't discerned any of that type of change yet. I require supratherapeutic doses of my ADHD and pain drugs. The usual dose for D-amphetamine is 15-30mg/day of the ER capsules. I take 10mg IR in the am, followed by 15mg ER capsules qid. But, physicians have the prerogative to prescribe according to their clinical judgment guided by patient response. Thank God I know how to talk with physicians because until we got to this dose there were no significant effects on my mentation, but once we went to this dose, it was like the switch was finally turned ON.

Runs smooth and then runs very rough on what seems to be on 3 cylinders. When given full power, it will jerk and act like it is trying to clear itself and run normal and usually will. First, I changed the fuel filter, no change. Nexted, I pulled the plugs and the exaust plug on the number 1 cylinder was black, all others looked normal. Both coils tested in spec, replaced all plugs and wires. Drove for 10 miles and then same problem occured. Sometimes it runs smooth and sometimes rough.
have the same problem?

I write a lot about women discovering their authentic voice and standing in their power. It is wonderful to leave your past mistakes behind and embrace the present moment with complete focus. However, it does not mean that challenges will not arise and even try to knock you down, or pull you off course. Staying connected to that the divine guidance that you have discovered will eventually be tested — and you need to be prepared.
Without a daily spiritual practice you can easily slip back into your old thinking. The lower self-ego-driven-voice (which we have worked so hard to silence) can come screaming through. All the negative and painful emotions from the past can surface like old seaweed on the ocean beach of your dreams. You need to tap into that higher guidance through mediation and prayer to stay on your course. The silence you experience will steer the ship on which you are traveling.
Don't throw your anchor overboard because someone disagrees with you. Dig deep into your soul and examine your intentions and your purpose. Are you living your truth? Are you standing in the light? Don't allow someone else's darkness to obscure the voyage you are on.
"It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives."
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
Life will always have unhealed perceptions swirling in the winds around us, but stay on course and this storm, too, shall pass.

Like in every job which involves a potential damage and hazardous effects, fire restoration process requires from you to be fully equipped for the action. From gloves and boots to special chemicals that can help you in removing soot stains left behind the fire. Many people have asked about the equipment you will need for this job. We would spend a lot of pages to describe and name every piece of equipment, so instead of that, we will try to mention the most important pieces of equipment and provide you with the brief description.
These sponges are ONLY for dry cleaning – it means that you need must avoid cleaning of surfaces that are wet. Fire-clean up requires you to remove all the soot before you apply any chemicals or liquids for cleaning and polishing. This sponge has everything you need to for this job – works like an eraser and it collects all the dirt, soot and smoke in a sponge material. In a nutshell – the sponge is great for all kinds of cleaning where the solvents don't help. When you finish with cleaning, just wash it under the water and let it dry and you can use it again.
It is a must have! Its high-alkaline pH removes the carbon particles from the walls. To use it, just apply it on the ball using a brush. After you apply it, leave it there to absorb the carbon. After it's dry, simply peel the whole layer from the surface and you are good to go. Note that this chemical can be applied to stone, ceramics, wood, glass, plastic and wallpapers.
The blocks are vacuum-sealed and as soon as you open the bag, the deodorization begins. You can put them anywhere you want to remove an unpleasant smell – from attic, to the ventilation systems. Each bag has 25 blocks usually and you can choose apple, cherry, lemon and orange aroma. Almost all companies use these for deodorization.
This strong solution is perfect for smoke-damaged surfaces and what is the most important, it is safe for people and pets around it. How is that possible? It's made of botanically ingredients! You can use it to clean walls, wooden and metal objects, floors, pots and pans, even appliances. Just make sure, after you mix the solution with water, you leave it to stand for five minutes.

Fast and Easy Homemade Pickles
One day you may be like us, and just wake up and decide you're going to pickle something.
You've never done it before, but you have seen enough cookbooks in the stores on the topic, and have heard enough experts on food radio to inspire you.
On the other hand, you don't have weeks to get the project done, and you certainly don't want food poisoning.
Fortunately, there are quick pickle recipes which bring satisfaction within a few hours. These are what we tried, much to our glee.
Since we didn't want to invest too much money in this possibly failing endeavor, we used what was already available and in stock. This means essentially some cucumbers, some carrots, and some green peppers. Plus, some ginger and some onions.
The biggest choices we had to make came down to what to store the pickles in, and which flavor of vinegar to use.
For containers we had choices between small mason jars and Tupperware. Being fairly ambivalent, and not knowing which would be better, we used both.
For vinegar we had a choice between regular and apple. Again, we chose both.
We can say immediately that there is a difference between apple and regular vinegar when it comes to pickles. From this experience it appears that the apple vinegar is much more subtle and slightly sweeter. That may sound appealing to some, but if you want that really sour or tart pickle experience then you should probably go with the regular vinegar.
Some recipes also say you should blanche or pre-cook the carrots. We did not. They are as crunchy and hard as regular carrots. Except these are full of pickle flavor.
Some recipes also may try to get you to remove the seeds from the cucumbers for pickling. Not us! That soft interior in the pickle is fantastic and full of flavor.
Some morsels of ginger in the mix do add a little spicy kick -- which is fun -- and it is not a bad idea to go overboard with this ingredient.
Please keep in mind, this is a recommended recipe, but you can change it based on your own taste preferences
2/3 Cup of Vinegar (white, apple or rice wine)
1/3 cup of water
1 Tbs of Sugar
1 Tbs of Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
Optional spices (literally, a dash): Mint, mustard seed, peppercorn, dill
How many vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, onions, green peppers, etc.)? It's up to you, but to start you should keep it small, like around 5-8, basically whatever is going to fit in your jar. Slice them or dice them.
- Add ingredients together in bowl and stir. No need to heat up.
- Add vegetables to a mason jar (any size)
- Add liquid until jar almost filled (make sure to cover all the vegetable)
- You may also add 3-4 morsels of sliced ginger or garlic (peeled) to the mix to add some kick.

Yesteday Ron Paul claimed on CNN that he'd never read the newsletters that went out in his name. Here is Ron Paul in a 1995 video discussing the very newsletters he claims to never have read.
In 1952, [George Wallace] became the Circuit Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit in Alabama. Here he became known as "the fighting little judge," a nod to his past boxing association. He gained a reputation for fairness regardless of the race of the plaintiff, and J. L. Chestnut, a black lawyer, recalled, "Judge George Wallace was the most liberal judge that I had ever practiced law in front of. He was the first judge in Alabama to call me 'Mister' in a courtroom."On the other hand, "Wallace was the first Southern judge to issue an injunction against removal of segregation signs in railroad terminals." Wallace blocked federal efforts to review Barbour County voting lists, for which he was cited for criminal contempt of court in 1959. Wallace also granted probation to some blacks, which may have cost him the 1958 gubernatorial election.He was defeated by John Patterson in Alabama's Democratic gubernatorial primary election in 1958, which at the time was the decisive election, the general election still almost always being a mere formality. This was a political crossroads for Wallace. Patterson ran with the support of the Ku Klux Klan, an organization Wallace had spoken against, while Wallace was endorsed by the NAACP.After the election, aide Seymore Trammell recalled Wallace saying, "Seymore, you know why I lost that governor's race?... I was outniggered by John Patterson. And I'll tell you here and now, I will never be outniggered again."
In the wake of his defeat, Wallace "made a Faustian bargain," said Emory University professor Dan Carter. "In order to survive and get ahead politically in the 1960s, he sold his soul to the devil on race."He adopted hard-line segregationism, and used this stand to court the white vote in the next gubernatorial election. When a supporter asked why he started using racist messages, Wallace replied, "You know, I tried to talk about good roads and good schools and all these things that have been part of my career, and nobody listened. And then I began talking about niggers, and they stomped the floor."
"When I became governor, there were 14 of us running for governor that time and all 14 of us were outspoken for segregation in the public schools," Patterson said. "And if you had been perceived not to have been strong for that, you would not have won....I regret that, but there was not anything I could do about it but to live with it."
