Casey Janssen Rumors
Blue Jays Exercise Janssen, Lind, DeRosa Options
6:50pm: The Jays have exercised their options on Lind and DeRosa, while declining their option on Kawasaki, Sportsnet.ca's Shi Davidi writes. Lind hit .288/.357/.497 while splitting his time between first base and DH in 2013. DeRosa hit .235/.326/.407 while playing first, second, third and DH. Kawasaki provided a feel-good moment or two for the Jays in a season in which they had very few, but he split his time between Toronto and Triple-A Buffalo and only hit .229/.326/.308 in the Majors. Davidi notes that the Jays could re-sign him to a minor-league deal.
5:04pm: The Blue Jays have exercised their $4MM option on closer Casey Janssen, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish tweets. Janssen pitched 52 2/3 innings in 2013, posting a 2.56 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9, so the decision was likely a relatively straightforward one. The option came as part of a two-year, $5.9MM deal signed prior to the 2012 season. Janssen made $3.9MM in 2013. He is eligible for free agency after the 2014 season.
The Jays have yet to announce decisions on options for first baseman / designated hitter Adam Lind ($7MM with a $2MM buyout), infielder Munenori Kawasaki ($1MM) and utilityman Mark DeRosa ($750K with a $25K buyout).

AL East Notes: Girardi, Lester, Rays, Price, Janssen
The Yankees have made a substantial offer to keep manager Joe Girardi, Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York reports. A source tells Marchand that Girardi could think about the offer through the weekend. "We are going to give him a real good reason to stay," says GM Brian Cashman. Rumors have connected Girardi to the Cubs' managerial job, which might be a possibility if he chooses to leave. The Nationals and Reds also have managerial openings that Girardi might find attractive. Girardi is currently under contract with the Yankees through the end of October. Here are more notes from the AL East.
- Last offseason, the Red Sox and Royals discussed a possible trade involving Jon Lester and Wil Myers, Lester tells WEEI.com's Alex Speier. "[Royals manager Ned Yost] is actually a pretty good friend of mine. I flat-out called him one day and was like, 'Hey, what do you got on this?' He said, 'Yeah, we're trying to make it work,'" Lester says. One reason the trade ultimately didn't happen is that the Royals finally traded Myers and three other players to the Rays, the Red Sox's current ALDS opponent, for a package headlined by James Shields.
- One assistant GM proposes that the Rays could trade David Price to the Dodgers for Corey Seager, Joc Pederson, Julio Urias and Chris Withrow, Peter Gammons writes. That would give the Rays two very good hitting prospects in Seager and Pederson, a very young arm in Urias, and a big-league reliever in Withrow. MLB.com ranks Pederson and Seager the top two prospects in the Dodgers system, with Urias at No. 4.
- The Blue Jays are "sure" to pick up their $4MM option on closer Casey Janssen, writes Shi Davidi of SportsNet.ca. Janssen is coming off a strong season, so the decision would seem to be an easy one. Davidi notes that Janssen would likely make twice as much on the open market, and win a multi-year deal to boot.

Blue Jays Likely To Keep Lind, DeRosa, Janssen
Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos told reporters that there's a "good chance" they'll exercise Adam Lind's option for 2014, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet (on Twitter). Veteran Mark DeRosa is also in good position with his option and Casey Janssen is a lock to have his club option triggered.
It now looks like Lind will get $7MM to stay in Toronto next season rather than getting a $2MM buyout to ply his craft elsewhere. The Jays also have options on Lind's services for 2015 ($7.5MM) and 2016 ($8MM). In 2013, Lind has hit .287/.356/.497, his best slash line since 2009.
DeRosa's $750K option was expected to be triggered, but he could opt to retire rather than return. The 38-year-old, who has a .229/.322/.398 slash line on the year, has earned nearly $30MM over the course of his career. Meanwhile, Janssen's $4MM option is a slam dunk after turning in a 2.56 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in 56 relief appearances.
Anthopoulos also expressed confidence that the Blue Jays' rotation can turn things around with "a starter or two" added this offseason, Davidi tweets.

Blue Jays Notes: Bullpen, Izturis, Bonifacio
The Blue Jays have been one of the busiest teams this offseason, per MLBTR's Transaction Tracker. GM Alex Anthopoulos has traded a manager (John Farrell), hired his replacement (John Gibbons, his second stint in Toronto), acquired the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio, Josh Thole, Mike Nickeas, and Esmil Rogers while signing free agents Melky Cabrera, Maicer Izturis, Henry Blanco, and Mark DeRosa. Is there anything left for Anthopoulos to do before pitchers and catchers report to Dunedin on February 12? MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm answered that question and others when he opened his inbox recently.
- The remaining moves the Blue Jays have left to make are minor league signings for organizational depth, writes Chisholm.
- The only real area of competition is the bullpen. Casey Janssen and Sergio Santos will battle to be the closer. Right-hander Jeremy Jeffress is a favorite to win a job, as he is out of options. Chisholm thinks Brandon Lyon would add a reliable veteran presence to the bullpen, but doesn't see the Blue Jays re-signing the right-hander because the team has reached its payroll limit.
- It appears Izturis received some sort of promise from the organization he would be the starting second baseman before agreeing to his three-year, $10MM deal, according to Chisholm. Look for Bonifacio to be used in a super utility role even though, in Chisholm's view, he has more upside than Izturis and would bring another element of speed to the lineup.
- Don't expect Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison, both recovering from Tommy John surgery, to make a major impact until 2014.
- The Blue Jays' farm system has been weakened by the flurry of trades this offseason. Chisholm notes there's talent in the lower levels, which is at least three years away, but that isn't a concern for the Blue Jays because their core is tied up for a similar period at the big league level.

Blue Jays Looking To Add Players
The Blue Jays, now 40-40 and in fifth place in the American League East, are looking to add to their team as the July 31st trade deadline approaches. General manager Alex Anthopoulos told Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca that he's discussing ways of making this year's team better.
"Every dialogue I'm trying to have now, it's all about trying to improve the 2012 product, that isn't going to change," he said. "I'm active in having talks, that doesn't mean anything is going to get done, but definitely all the trade dialogue I'm handling right now is all about making the 2012 team better."
Anthopoulos told Davidi the Blue Jays have talked about some potential short-term additions, including players headed for free agency. The GM added that this year's Blue Jays team has a stronger core than in previous years.
Only three MLB teams have out-scored Toronto, but the Blue Jays could use pitching reinforcements after losing three starters to the disabled list and adding Carlos Villanueva, Aaron Laffey and Brett Cecil to their rotation. The Blue Jays are unsurprisingly interested in adding starting pitching depth.
Two scouts told Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com that Anthopoulos should sell this summer. One scout suggested Casey Janssen could become a trade chip. Meanwhile, a rival official said the Blue Jays are "souring" on Yunel Escobar and Knobler suggests the Blue Jays could decide to trade the shortstop just one year after extending him.

Blue Jays Extend Casey Janssen
The Blue Jays announced that they have agreed to a two-year, $5.9MM contract extension with right-handed reliever Casey Janssen. The deal, which eliminates the need for an arbitration hearing, includes a 2014 option worth $4MM. Janssen will earn $2MM in 2012 and $3.9MM in 2013, MLBTR has learned.
The contract buys out Janssen's final year of arbitration eligibility and his first free agent season. Janssen and agent Jim McDowell had asked for $2.2MM in arbitration, with the Blue Jays countering at $1.8MM.
The 30-year-old posted a 2.26 ERA with 8.6 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 and a 47.3% ground ball rate in 55 2/3 innings last year, when he earned $1.095MM as a second-time arbitration eligible player. Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca first reported that the sides were nearing a two-year deal.
As MLBTR's Extension Tracker shows, Alex Anthopoulos has now completed seven extensions since becoming Toronto's GM.

Blue Jays Nearing Two-Year Deal With Janssen
The Blue Jays are nearing a two-year deal with reliever Casey Janssen that includes a third-year option, tweets Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. As the Blue Jays are a file and trial team, a multiyear deal was the only way to the impending arbitration hearing. Janssen and the Jays had a $400K spread, with $2.2MM and $1.8MM submissions, respectively. The two-year deal would buy out one free agent year with an option on a second.
Janssen, 30, posted a 2.26 ERA, 8.6 K/9, 2.3 BB/9, 0.32 HR/9, and 47.3% groundball rate in 55 2/3 innings last year. He earned $1.095MM in 2011, his second arbitration year. Janssen's extension would mark the seventh in the career of Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos, according to our transaction tracker.

Blue Jays Aim For Bullpen Depth
San Diego's relievers combined to strike out more than a batter per inning over the course of the 2010 season, while limiting hits, walks and homers. Manager Bud Black saw five of his relievers appear in 30 or more games and emerge with ERAs under 2.00 at the end of the season and the Padres' NL West rivals weren't the only ones to notice.
Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos says he'd like to have a deep bullpen in 2011, like the Padres did last year. He says he's happy to keep more relievers than usual on his roster this year and that the acquisition of Frank Francisco doesn't mean a trade is imminent. The Blue Jays' plans for their relievers haven't changed.
"No impact at all," Anthopoulos said yesterday on a conference call to announce the acquisition of Francisco from the Rangers. "They're all quality relievers and we love having depth in the bullpen one through seven."
Or maybe one through eight. The Blue Jays have discussed the possibility of opening the season with an eight-man bullpen to accomodate their arms and provide manager John Farrell with a variety of options. Though the Jays could open the year with an extra arm in the 'pen, Anthopoulos said a traditional seven-man ensemble is more likely at this point. The Blue Jays' rotation is relatively young and inexperienced, so the team's front office would like to support starters like Brett Cecil and, possibly, Kyle Drabek with steady relief pitching.
"It's certainly part of it," Anthopoulos said. "We don't want to overtax our young starters."
The Blue Jays don't want to overtax their relievers, either. Anthopoulos says there can be a ripple effect when teams have deep bullpens. If every reliever is capable of performing in meaningful situations, no pitcher gets overused. But Anthopoulos has no illusions; even qualified, well-rested relievers struggle and the 2011 Blue Jays won't be any different.
"We all know that they will get hurt," he said. "Some of them won't perform. They'll have bad months."
Take Jason Frasor (pictured), one of the holdovers in the team's new-look bullpen. He walked nearly a batter per inning in April, 2010 and posted an 8.38 ERA through the season's first month, but recovered from his turbulent start and put together a fine year. He'll join Francisco and free agent signings Jon Rauch and Octavio Dotel, the relievers Anthopoulos expects to compete for the Jays' closing job.
Shawn Camp, Casey Janssen and Carlos Villanueva are also right-handed relievers under team control for $1MM-plus in 2011, so the Blue Jays have a surplus of big league arms and could hear from pitching-starved teams before the season begins.
The Jays have seven established right-handed relievers, but Toronto's left-handers have considerably less experience. David Purcey, an out-of-options 28-year-old, was reasonably effective in 2010. He's a leading candidate to make the club, though his walk rate and fly ball rate have been high throughout his brief MLB career. Jo-Jo Reyes is also out of options, but he has made just 11 relief appearances as a pro. Jesse Carlson, who was a mainstay in 2009, could also crack the team's roster.
While their AL East rivals to the south, the Rays, had to lower payroll this offseason and rebuild their bullpen on a budget, Anthopoulos reaffirmed that he has the flexibility to ask for more money if necessary. The Blue Jays can continue spending on their bullpen, even as their young starters become more expensive.

If this were the last day of your life, how would you spend it?
It just occurred to me today that finishing my most urgent project at work wouldn't be on my to do list. I would love to read some thoughts or stories.
...After reading some responses, it seems that most people would do what they always wanted to do and take care of things that they value most. But why wouldn't we do these things in the first place, regardless of how long we have left? I don't mean it as a rhetorical question - it would be interesting to read some thoughts.
Closing Statement from Arkady Grudzinsky
I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this conversation. Lots of interesting thoughts and perspectives.
Perhaps, most notable conclusions:
1. At the end, we focus on what matters most for us, and for most people it's people we love - most people would spend time with family, friends, write letters, etc.
2. It should not matter whether we live the last day of our life or not. Perhaps, we should just do what we do any other day, like having a cup of nice tea, and enjoy the moment.
It's hard to summarize everything that was said here - worth reading.

Jan 19 2013: Hi Arkady,
This question is close to my heart now, because my brother died two days ago. When someone I love dies, there is usually an evaluation....again.....in my heart and mind.
I live each day as if it could be my last, and it is also the first day of the rest of my life. I embraced this concept 23 years ago when I almost died. My experience with myself, and all those I love who have died, is to DO and BE in each and every moment, what is important to us. Leave nothing unsaid or undone, and that is how we live and die without regrets.
I miss my brother's physical presence in my life, and I am also aware of everything we shared for 66 years, all of which I treasure very much. We told each other many, many times how much we appreciate and love each other, in so many ways.

Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection of the skin on the feet. Symptoms of athlete's foot can vary from mild to severe and include peeling, cracking, and scaling on the bottoms of the feet and between the toes; itching or burning; and a slight odor.
There are three types of athlete's foot:
Some people are more susceptible than others to athlete's foot. Athlete's foot is treated with antifungal medicines, which are available in topical form (applied directly to the skin) or as pills. The condition tends to recur, even after successful treatment.

One Judge Says Chris Brown is Dangerous!
Rihanna is reportedly back together with Chris Brown. But does this mean he's off the hook for assault charges? Victims' rights advocate Judge Jeanine Pirro breaks it down.
Judge Jeanine Pirro, a tireless advocate of women's rights, created one of the first Domestic Violence Units in the nation. As District Attorney, she chaired the New York State Commission on Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board. Its findings resulted in legislation being passed that increased protections and safeguards for domestic violence victims and their families.
Judge Pirro also presides daily over her courtroom on the popular show "Judge Jeanine Pirro." With her direct, no-nonsense attitude and compassionate approach, Judge Pirro rules on a variety of cases, from small claims to emotionally charged disputes between couples in crisis, deadbeat dads and out-of-control teens.
That's why we were particularly interested to hear Judge Jeanine Pirro's thoughts on Rihanna and Chris Brown reportedly getting back together.
"Women who've been battered often drop charges," she says. "Hope springs eternal. They believe him when he says he'll never do it again. They believe it's their fault. They want to minimize it and delete it from their memory."
But even if Rihanna wants to drop charges against Chris Brown, she probably can't.
"The DA can go forward without her," says Judge Pirro. "It's not her prosecution. It's the People of the State of California's. Rihanna is nothing more than a witness. If she doesn't cooperate or respond to a subpoena (or even denies it was him), they can still get a conviction. I've done this with a witness whose brains were knocked out with a hammer and she testified for the defendant! In that case, I got a conviction for attempted murder anyway.
This is what the DA needs, according to Judge Pirro:
- Pictures
- Medical records ... which, if the DA had done his homework, would have been released by Rihanna in the event this very thing might happen.
- Her clothing with blood on it
- Witnesses who found her in the car
- Her telephone records proving who she did and didn't call that night
- Who saw them together last?
- The spontaneous declaration she made when the police found her.
"No plea deal, no lesser charge," Judge Pirro says. "Chris Brown is dangerous! If you lose the case, so be it. Just prosecute him."
Be sure to check out "Judge Jeanine Pirro" daily on the CW at 3:00 PM.
|Judge Jeanine Pirro is an attorney, prosecutor and politician who served as a county judge before serving as the elected district attorney of Westchester County in New York for 12 years. Judge Jeanine lives in Rye, New York, and is the mother of two college-age children.
I am always invstigating online for ideas that can facilitate me. Thanks!

During the second and third trimester prenatal visits, your health care provider may check the following, depending on your current medical condition and the health of the fetus:
Any current symptoms or discomforts
Mother's weight
Mother's blood pressure
Urine test - to detect albumin (a protein) which may indicate preeclampsia or toxemia, and sugar (which may indicate hyperglycemia)
Growth, size, and development of the fetus
Size of the uterus - after approximately 12 weeks of gestation, the uterus can be felt through the abdominal wall
Height of the fundus (top of the uterus), starting at 20 weeks of gestation
Fetal heartbeat
The second trimester marks a turning point for mother and fetus. The mother usually begins to feel better and will start showing the pregnancy more. The fetus has now developed all its organs and systems and will now focus on growing in size and weight.
During the second trimester, the umbilical cord continues to thicken as it carries nourishment to the fetus. However, harmful substances also pass through the umbilical cord to the fetus, so care should be taken to avoid alcohol, tobacco, and other known hazards.
During the second trimester, both the mother's body and the fetus continue to grow.
Now that all the major organs and systems have formed in the fetus, the following six months will be spent growing. The weight of the fetus will multiply more than seven times over the next few months, as the fetus becomes a baby that can survive outside of the uterus.
By the end of the second trimester, the fetus will be about 13 to 16 inches long and weighs about 2 to 3 pounds. Fetal development during the second trimester includes the following:
The fetus kicks, moves, and can turn from side to side.
The eyes have been gradually moving to the front of the face and the ears have moved from the neck to the sides of the head. The fetus can hear the mother's voice.
A creamy white substance (called vernix caseosa, or simply vernix) begins to appear on the fetus and helps to protect the thin fetal skin. Vernix is gradually absorbed by the skin, but some may be seen on babies even after birth.
The fetus is developing reflexes such as swallowing and sucking.
The fetus can respond to certain stimuli.
The placenta is fully developed.
The brain will undergo its most important period of growth from the 5th month on.
Fingernails have grown on the tips of the fingers and toes, and the fingers and toes are fully separated.
The fetus goes through cycles of sleep and wakefulness.
Skin is wrinkly and red, covered with soft, downy hair (called lanugo).
Hair is growing on the head of the fetus.
Fat begins to form on the fetus.
Eyelids are beginning to open and the eyebrows and eyelashes are visible.
Fingerprints and toeprints have formed.
Rapid growth is continuing in fetal size and weight.
The 20th week marks the halfway point of the pregnancy.
A fetus born at the end of 24 weeks may survive in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The second trimester is the most physically enjoyable for most women. Morning sickness usually abates by this time and the extreme fatigue and breast tenderness usually subsides. These changes can be attributed to a decrease in levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone and an adjustment to the levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones.
The following is a list of changes and symptoms that may occur during the second trimester:
Appetite may increase.
The mother may be able to feel the movement of the fetus for the first time - a phenomenon called quickening - by 20 weeks.
The uterus has grown to the height of the belly button, making the pregnancy visible.
The skin on the belly may itch as it grows and there may be pain down the sides of the body as the uterus stretches. The lower abdomen may ache as ligaments stretch to support the uterus.
The need to frequently urinate may decrease as the uterus grows out of the pelvic cavity, relieving pressure on the bladder.
A mother's nose may become congested and she may experience nosebleeds. This is due to the increase in hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that affect the mucous membranes in the nose.
A woman's gums become more spongy and may bleed easily. This is due to the increase in hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that affect the mucous membranes in the mouth.
Varicose veins and hemorrhoids may appear.
A woman may have a white-colored vaginal discharge called leukorrhea. (A colored or bloody discharge may signal possible complications and should be examined immediately.)
The increasing weight gain may cause backaches.
Skin pigmentation may change on the face or abdomen due to the pregnancy hormones.
Heart burn, indigestion, and constipation may continue.

If you are using an older version of PHP (5.0.*) then please try the dailybuild (http://dailybuilds.silverstripe.com/), it should be fixed there.

My firewall (zonealarm) don't let me go into the cms. The solution is put Cookie Control and Ad Blocking off.
Thanks a lot for your collaboration and this great cms.

Okay I have just spent two hours typing my damn user id and password to no avail. I am running WAMP server on a local windows machine. I triied all of the flush remedies, the new re-build files and shut off zone alarm completely....
It takes me to the default homepage to login:email/password.
So, I know the install is fine. My password is the same and I checked the files and there it was clear as day. Now what? I run wordpress and joomla just fine on WAMP located along with Silverstripe in my root folder. So if someone does not help me I'll just have to go back to the other guys.......WP & Joomla. too bad I wanted to check this out. Maybe you should do something so it;s not such a pain to run...........IMHO

weird... I use WAMP as my main development server with silverstripe and never had any problems. If in doubt just delete the current install, download the last daily build and reinstall SS.
Try that and see how you go

Free Wizard Rock Concert at Edmond Library
Most people accept now that the Harry Potter books initiated a new enthusiasm for reading in fans of The Boy Who Lived, but what you may not realize is that Pottermania also instigated a new kind of music.
It's called "wizard rock," and the premiere wizard rock band, The Remus Lupins, is coming to the Edmond Library, 10 S. Boulevard, for a concert on Thursday, July 17, from 6:30 to 9:00pm. Joining the Remus Lupins will be a few other wizard rock bands, The Whomping Willows, The Mudbloods, and local band Ginny and the Heartbreakers.
"Do you like live music?" asked Edmond librarian Teresa Matthews. "Do you like Harry Potter? If your answers are a big YES! then you'll love Wizard Rock. Wizard Rock groups have started up all over the country, making music based on the popular Harry Potter series."
The Remus Lupins, named for Harry's Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor in book three of the series, came into existence when band founder Alex Carpenter looked at the titles on his bookshelf and held his guitar at the same time. Suddenly, songs about Harry and his magical world just started pouring out of him.
The Whomping Willows take their name from the tree into which Harry's pal Ron Weasley crashes his dad's flying car in book two.
"Dress up," Matthews added, "bring your wands, and remember, even Voldemort can't stop the rock!"
Wizard Rock featuring the Remus Lupins is designed for audiences aged 10 to 16.
Tickets must be picked up in person before the day of the show. All members of the party must have a ticket to enter the show. Reserve your spot by calling 341-9282.

Looks like Ed Sheeran has learned a valuable lesson from his buddy Taylor Swift : Kiss, but don't tell. Just as Taylor never reveals who her breakup songs are about, so is Ed refusing to dish on the identity of the cheating woman who inspired one of his new songs, "Don't."
Ed has said that he wrote the song after a female singer he was dating allegedly cheated on him with a friend of his, while all three of them were staying at the same hotel. " I never saw him as a threat, 'til you disappeared with him to have sex," go the lyrics. Grilled about the subject of the tune on Australia's Kyle & Jackie O Show earlier this week, though, Ed refused to reveal her name, explaining, "I just needed to write that song, I was very frustrated and angry at the time and I just needed to vent. And now I've vented, I feel better about it, so I'm just kinda leaving it there."
When Kyle complained that Ed's reticence had caused him to miss out on a huge scoop, Ed retorted, " You can find scoops in other ways that wouldn't tarnish people's reputation[s]."
Most gossip about the song "Don't" claims that the woman in question is Ellie Goulding , but there is no confirmation of that whatsoever.
By the way, during that same interview, Ed also confirmed that he's currently seeing someone, but wouldn't reveal her name, either.

This is the cruise ship alternative for travelers whom like activity and adventure. We feel Alaska is not a shopping destination, but a chance to experience nature untrammeled by people. The richness of the environment will awe you. The health of this ecosystem is evident by its large populations of humpback whales, brown and black bears, and birds, particularly waterfowl.
Ursa Major is an ideal platform to experience Alaska on your own terms and in comfort. Our voyages are typically a week or more and entirely customizable. We have 3 staterooms to accommodate groups of 1-6 with room to relax. Our food is sumptuous, in fact we catch our own shrimp and crab. Our dinners are a welcome culmination to the long days we spent kayaking, whale watching, hiking and cruising.
The Ursa Major is a wood-built yacht, crafted by shipwrights in Norway in 1972. She has traveled the world, she has had adventures both famous and infamous. The Ursa Major is a unique trawler yacht with fourteen years of experience chartering in southeast Alaska and is the perfect vessel for your sea kayaking adventure. We feel the best way to experience southeast Alaska is to explore its pristine bays and shorelines by sea kayak.
We have a fleet of eight sea kayaks for paddling amongst the unspoiled beauty of Tongass National Forest, the largest intact temperate rainforest in North America. Humpback whales abound in southeast Alaska as they return to their summer home for socialization and feeding. Brown bears, Stellar sea lions, sea otters, killer whales, and assorted marine birds are common species we have the pleasure of viewing aboard Ursa Major.
Each one of our trips is uniquely taylored to your needs as we spend our days sea kayaking, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Your crew is enthusiastic, knowledgable, and eager to make this trip something exceptional for you. Join us aboard the Ursa Major this summer for the trip of a lifetime!

Comments about Elite Turbo Muin Direct Drive Trainer:
This trainer by far is the best trainer I have owned. It is also one of the most quite fluid trainers I have ever owned. It is a bit heavy making the portability of it a bit cumbersome, but a small price for all of it's great attributes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Korean electronics giant also showed off a pair of Windows 8 tablets, all of which are expected to be available at the end of October.
Timed for the availability of Intel's latest processors, the Series 7 Gamer is finally ready to hit stores.
Looking for more than just a machine to nuke foes on? Samsung's 3D gaming laptop has all sorts of modes, from battery saving to keeping hush.
The Series 5 is a more mainstream and far more affordable alternative to the sleek Series 9, but with many of the same features.
HP shows it's willing to take some calculated risks for Windows 8 with a Spectre-branded all-in-one desktop.
Samsung introduces the Series 7 laptop line, which sits between the Series 9 and Series 3.
The Samsung Series 7 Gamer is huge, expensive, and unattractive, but it's also one of the best gaming laptops that we've seen this year. If you don't mind its beefy 17-inch form, you won't be disappointed.

Lessons from a master
Published on - November 6th, 2012 (by El Nerdo)
I have been re-watching the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" for the past couple of months. I've seen it at least 10 times, probably more, while writing drafts for this article. I've watched it alone, with my wife, with friends, and I don't tire of it; I've recommended it to everyone I know, and now I'm wholeheartedly recommending it to you.
This little gem of a documentary by David Gelb takes a look at the work and life of Jiro Ono, a Michelin three-star sushi chef who, at 85 years of age, continues to work on his craft every day at his tiny restaurant in a Tokyo office building basement opposite a subway station entrance. His colleagues, his country, and at least one very knowledgeable food writer recognize him as perhaps the greatest sushi chef alive.
I have watched this film in fascination, trying to extract lessons from this master. What have I learned from him? And what questions do these lessons open up for me?
You must fall in love with your work
"Once you decide on your occupation," says Jiro, "you must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work. Never complain about your job. You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That's the secret of success and is the key to being regarded honorably."
Jiro himself is enormously happy with his work; he is a blissful craftsman who truly enjoys his work, which keeps him vital in his old age.
However, it's crucial to note that he doesn't say "find work that you love," as if suggesting one goes on some romantic quest in search for the perfect job, but rather he tells us to love the work we have chosen.
This means to consciously and voluntarily cultivate love, much like we do in a marriage. This is different from a teenage crush whereby one gets struck in the head by a random force and goes temporarily mad, only to wake up to disillusioned weeks or months later. Jiro's path to joyful work requires a lifetime of devotion.
This brings to mind a more common conception of work some of us have: We tend to categorize jobs as being either "passion work" or "work just for the money." Then we tell ourselves that passion work is a pipe dream and we must endure a lifetime of mindless toil until the day we retire and begin to enjoy life.
What would happen, I wonder, if we consciously and purposefully loved the jobs we feel condemned to do "just for the money"? Could this perhaps completely revolutionize our relationship with work, increase our quality of life, and diminish our hunger for retirement?
Specialize, simplify, go deep
Sushi is by definition a minimalist food, and Jiro has taken this simplicity to another level, not only in his sushi-making technique, but also in the composition of his menu. Unlike other restaurants of its kind, Jiro's does not serve appetizers. Rather, they create a daily menu of about 20 pieces of sushi per person. He serves sushi only, and no other dishes.
Moreover, his restaurant has only 10 seats. This allows the staff to focus on preparing top-quality sushi and serving each client the best possible way, noticing little details like how much they eat or if they are right- or left-handed.
Jiro's eldest son, Yoshikazu, who is a sushi chef in his own right but still works with his father as the heir apparent, says that at the restaurant they try to repeat the same thing every day. What's left implied is that mastery results from this constant repetition.
This focus goes beyond the confines of work: Jiro repeats the same routine every day, down to standing on the same spot to take the train. He dislikes holidays and wants to return to work as soon as possible.
It seems to me that Jiro increases his creativity by going deep, rather than wide — start with an automatic daily routine, pursue a narrow focus at work, and within that narrow focus, the combination of talent and hard work open up a universe for creative exploration.
This reminds me of that mad genius William Blake, who wrote in "Auguries of Innocence":
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
With happiness like that, who needs vacations?
Loving your work requires sacrifice
If we stick for a moment with the "passion work" scenario I mentioned earlier, I notice that some people tend to assume that doing work you love is free of difficulties and that everything will be well in your life if you just switch careers. It is not. Doing work you love may cost you dearly, especially in the initial stages, and everyone choosing such a path should be willing to pay the price of admission.
In my case, pursuing studies in the humanities and striking out on my own instead of finding a place in academia meant I have to work longer hours and make less money compared with people working in established organizations and with perhaps fewer years of education.
I have made peace with that fact because I am doing work that I love, but the trade-off is evident. Today I aim to increase my income to a more comfortable level by cultivating focus and honing my skills, but it's a steep climb. Still, this was a conscious choice that I do not regret.
I know this may seem to contradict a little bit what I said earlier about loving the work you've chosen, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that loving your work can at times be difficult, but if you persevere you will find yourself rewarded for it.
In the case of Jiro, the demands of his job kept him away from his family while his children were growing up. He also had to struggle against poverty; when he got married he had no money in the bank, and years later his kids had to save for months before they could afford a Coca-Cola.
Things have changed today, Jiro shares a good relationship with his children, who learned their craft from their father, but it took years of sacrifice and hard work to get there. Jiro himself had to endure being slapped or kicked during his learning years, but he didn't quit. He's had apprentices, however, who only lasted a day in his kitchen.
The point of this, to me, is that the kind of bliss Jiro finds in his daily work can't be achieved through quick solutions and four-hour workweeks. It takes hard, intense, concentrated, and often painful work. Dream jobs don't simply work their magic because you find them; they do because you marry them for life and they reward you for your efforts as years go by.
I am not suggesting, of course, that citizens of 21st-century Western democracies with different cultural prejudices put up with unfair or unsafe work conditions, but Jiro's tale is a reminder that love and sacrifice can reward us in transcendental ways that cannot be reduced to quick formulas for easy success. His path may not be for everyone, but I believe it's at least worthy of examination.
On the next installment: more lessons from Jiro. Meanwhile, please enjoy the movie if you get a chance.
Very inspiring story. I have met a few people like this chef who just love what they do, usually a manual craft, and do it so well their love is contagious. It is harder now, to fall in love with a corporate job, especially when you want to go fast, ascend, skip steps. All the opposite of the mindfulness and slow process described here. I am hoping to find that drive one day.
"striking out on my own instead of finding a place in academia meant I have to work longer hours and make less money"
As the wife of an academic, I'd love to know where these high-paying, low-hour jobs in academia are! He works constantly for so little; we're always wondering if he should bail into the private sector. This was probably just a rhetorical flourish on your part, but I think things are tough all around.
I watched that on Netflix the other day! He was almost obsessive about his sushi. Very entertaining stuff!
Very inspiring story. By the way, It's really true that citizens of 21st-century Western democracies with different cultural prejudices put up with unfair or unsafe work conditions.
Ha ha, yeah, hm, I think my sentence construction was confusing? I didn't mean that this doesn't happen, I meant that I wouldn't suggest that we let it happen. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
While not having watched the movie, I will say that he is narrow in a major aspect of his work, not necessarilly all his work. He is not just a chef who sits before his stove or cutting board and processes food. He has to consider his vendors, plan deliveries, order staples, cator to customers, ensure his rent is paid, etc. even for the small business he has since his stand and sushi are only as good as the raw ingrediants and location he choses. I am sure he has taken not just years, but decades, in finding ways to handle that aspect of his business as well (he may delegate, but in the end he is responsible) and many of these aspects can change over time and he must find ways to adapt to those changes. Do not assume that because he has a narrow focus that it divorces him from looking past the front of his shop.
Yep, I've watched this documentary and it is gorgeous (wrote a blog post about it too!). I was also struck in particular by his love for what he does, and the immense care and effort that he puts in. It's really quite touching and I hope that there will always be people who are so dedicated to their craft.
Thank you for sharing this; it really resonates and puts a different light on the mentality of work. Probably not a movie I would've picked for myself, but I'll be watching for it now
What an incredible post! Thank you for sharing. So many lessons to be learned.
Sadly for William Blake, that stanza is used in the first Tomb Raider, and every time I read it all I can think of is Angelina Jolie.
Loved this post though, and love sushi! I'll have to add this to my netflix queue
I definitely find el Nerdo's thoughts as shared in this post highly intriguing. I'm going to make an extra effort to apply the lessons here. Also, I'll check out the suggested film. Thanks!
Requested the film from the library – thanks for the recommendation!
This article is very interesting and I hope to see the film before you publish Part Two. BTW – how many parts? And when will the next be?
Thanks Samantha,
I think just 2 parts. I was having a hard time keeping all my ideas within the word limit. I didn't want to just list a bunch of things without analysis, so I'll deal with other approaches/strategies in part 2.
When will it be published? I'm writing it right now (wanted to get comments first to adjust for part 2) but publishing schedule depends on the boss (and how soon I turn this in, anyway).
I always felt that if you love your work you will be good at it. If you are good at it, you will do well financially.
This is my favorite part of this great article. "You must fall in love with your work" And it really does!!!
Thanks for a great post, El Nerdo! And I love the comments and your responses to them. It's rare to find someone on a huge fan blog who responds to comments. It shows that you care about the readers, and commented that you are going to tailor the part 2 because of feedback. Wow!
We love you, El Nerdo. You are definitely my favourite writer on GRS.
El Nerdo,
I feel this was the best article you've written to date on GRS. Very thought-provoking. Very well done. Looking forward to part 2.
This calls to mind MLK Junior's 'Street sweeper' speech. Gets to me every time. I wonder what such an outlook on life would do for our society's mental health? I know too many people who have slipped into depression because life didn't bring them the job of their dreams.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on "Jiro Dreams of Sushi!" I really enjoyed the film, and got a lot out of your comments!
El Nerdo,
Can all the movies you review be found on netflix or elsewhere?? I really wanted to watch your last one Queen of Versallies but i couldn't find it. I'm interested in this one as well . Please let me know thanks
Hi Teinegurl
I watched Queen of Versailles at the theatre (tax deductible!) and it's only touring in a few towns now BUT the DVD/BluRay come out Nov 13 (just found out) so it should be on Netflix in 6 more days! (and who knows, maybe streamable too).
Jiro is DEFINITELY on Netflix streaming right now (also on DVD and BluRay). I've watched the stream only, but I'd love to see it on BluRay just because it's so gorgeous. Anyway, you have options.
Also one of the commenters (see above) said it's streaming free on Amazon Prime. I'm not sure what Amazon Prime is (lol @ my consumer ignorance) but I like the sound of "free".
I hope that helps!
Thank you for the response! i dont know what amazon prime is either but netflix or maybe even redbox may have it so that helps thanks!
One of the best posts I've read on your site. Thank you!
"You must fall in love with your work", this reminds me of Cal Newport's message on his blog studyhack. Rather than endlessly searching for your passion start where you are and fall in love with what your doing. You can become a master!
I watched this video early this year and was incredibly inspired by his work ethic and dedication. On the other hand, as Amy pointed out, the brunt of the sacrifice was taken by his family.
