More Minimal Wallpapers, This Time in Pantone
Pantone, the company that brought the Pantone Matching System to designers, has become something of a cultural icon, and they have released a series of wallpapers to match their Pantone Plus line.
There are a total of 8 wallpapers over at Pantone's site, though only six are actual swatches, ranging from the 2010 color of the year Turquoise to a series of bright hues perfect for summer.
Grab them for iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC here in resolutions 320 x 480 to 1920 x 1200.

Well unless your monitor is unbelievably well color and warmth balanced, the will NOT be accurate representations of PANTONE colors.
By the way... what IS it with people in the past 3 years or so and PANTONE? When did it become hip? In my world, it is an expensive (but sometimes necessary) way to make sure a color is absolute. CMYK isn't as accurate, but that's what you can get without paying a lot more per print run. And you should always check a press proof anyway.
what application is that displaying the itunes track info on the desktop?
ok, for some reason the ipad one isn't working right. it looks fine in the camera roll but when i actually set it as the background it comes out with this huge dark gradient on it, looks horrible... I don't remember my other backgrounds doing this, maybe they do?
Also the ipad needs to allow us to lock the background in different positions for both the landscape and portrait orientations. There is no way to really put the pantone one on good so it works for both without cutting text or other pieces off. Did no one test them?
YES, what is that application for the iTunes track info. I've used sizzlingkeys, but it's not that great, so I ditched it.
Great wallpapers, but I'd like to know what the iTunes menubar app you're using is....
To answer some questions!
@jasonpolk I'm a graphic designer as well as a writer, so I definitely know what you mean. I doubt this is meant to be accurate so much as feed the frenzy people seem to have for Pantone. (And I don't mind, either. It's kind of fun.)
@everyone else. I use Bowtie for my desktop iTunes (the theme is Boptie), and the menubar app I use for iTunes is called ByteController.

Belina and I walked down to the harbor-
Totally lovely morning
Yokohama has the largest China Town in Japan- Sunday was Chinese New Year apparently the area was swarmed (I was in tech) you wouldn't know it based on how clean the streets were by the next morning.
So the crew in Japan thinks we are really, really weird.
It may have something to do with how gleefully we freaked out when they extended the risers. These are fully automated and not only extended at the push of the button, but the backs all flipped up automatically, and as if that wasn't enough, they played music as they traveled. I had to explain that setting up risers in the US is incredibly labor intensive.
Ian our TD recorded a video but his camera ate it… Much to our dismay. I'll try to get another video.
I love efficiency of design. Rather than being fed by a single mult at the end of the batten, the lighting pipes are all fed by large ribbon cables which self gather into baskets above each pipe.
See what I mean about the language barrier- we didn't stand a chance with this menu…. when our server came we just pointed at the drawing of a cow and said "What's your favorite?!"
The kind gentleman did pretty well.
We ended up with a tray of beef, a tray of chicken, and another of veggies, all pre-seasoned and ready to grill at table.
I'm surprisingly not jet lagged- when I went to bed last night, it was 10pm, I was tired, it was 8 am in NYC…. Small miracles. I'm also finding that I am less distressed by the language barrier than I was in Slovakia. There is something about knowing that there is not even a corollary that is somehow comforting.
In Prague and Slovakia, for instance, I looked at the words and they were letters that I recognized but the words made no sense- it stressed me out to no end. Here I dunno- I obviously don't stand a chance so I'm able to roll with it I guess.

Oh and food
Food is another excellent reason to transfer to Bryn Mawr. From what I've read, the food is really fucking good. Hell, even if I don't eat there, at least in Bryn Mawr the town, I know where I can get good food.
York is not like that. I can't leave the campus for good food unless I feel like taking a taxi or bus, and the school food is not really fucking good most of the time. Sometimes it's good. This usually depends on what time you get there and what day it is. The brownies are usually very good, and back when I ate meat, I found the cheeseburgers okay.
Still, there's a reason we call the cafeterias Scurve I (the one on main campus, and it's also just called Scurve) and Scurve II (the newer one on west campus, and I find it the worse of the two). There're little cafes around the campuses too, but I never really eat there because they're expensive.
So yeah. Food.

Data.gov.uk versus Data.gov – Which wins?
Back in May last year, the US government launched Data.gov as a statement of transparency, and the Internet rejoiced. After the launch, excitement kind of fizzled with the actual Data.gov site, but big cities like San Francisco, New York, and Toronto got in on the open data party.
Then just a couple of weeks ago, Data.gov.uk launched, which brought me back to the US counterpart. How do the two compare? Here's my take.
Behind the Application
The two applications are very similar on the surface. They catalog government data. Look a little closer though, and you'll see that they're actually really different in purpose, design, and end results. These key differences stem directly from those who were involved in the creation of each.
Data.gov: According to FAQ, it was developed by the Federal CIO Council, as in Chief Information Officers Council. Here's their main role in government, which sounds a lot like information science:
The CIO Council serves as the principal interagency forum for improving practices in the design, modernization, use, sharing, and performance of Federal Government agency information resources.
Data.gov.uk: It was a much more tech-oriented operation from the UK side with Tim Berners-Lee and Nigel Shadbolt advising. Shadbolt is a professor of artificial intelligence at the University of Southampton and Berners-Lee is credited with inventing the World Wide Web.
Winner: Toss up. While the computer science backgrounds can lead to good implementation, the information science crew took on organizing the many many US agencies. However the UK had the Web inventor. Yeah, gotta give the edge to the UK.
Now let's get into the actual data. When Data.gov first launched there were only forty something datasets, but the collection has since grown to several hundred. Data.gov.uk, on the other hand, started with a few hundred.
Data.gov: It links directly to data files in various formats including CSV, XML, Excel, and KML. A lot seems to be lacking though. For example, there's no basic demographic data like population from the Census Bureau. You think that's where they'd start. Maybe the Open Government Directive, which instructs Executive departments to publish three "high-value" data sets, might help this along.
Data.gov.uk: Instead of hosting the data, the UK took a link catalog approach. To the end user this doesn't make a huge difference. As long as you get the data, you're good, but from a developer standpoint, it's a lot easier to catalog links than files.
Winner: Data.gov.uk. A quick browse through the available data sets on both sites will show you the wider range of topics on Data.gov.uk.
Design and Usability
One looks like a government website. The other sports a more modern design.
Data.gov: At launch, Data.gov didn't look all that bad to me, but then I tried to use the site and find some data. The main flaw I saw was in the data browser. I wasn't looking for a particular data set. I just wanted to browse, so I'd select an agency and search. The problem is that a lot of the listed agencies don't have any data cataloged.
Data.gov.uk: Navigation through the site was very familiar using common netspeak like tags and apps. I felt more engaged.
Winner: Data.gov.uk. Both could use a data preview though.
Data.gov: Other than the "join the dialogue" section on a separate domain and the pitch on the homepage, Data.gov makes little effort to highlight or promote any projects that use the data from the site. The focus is on a repository. What you do with the data doesn't seem to matter much. At least Sunlight Labs is making an effort.
Data.gov.uk: Lists recent apps and has an idea submission section. They clearly want you to use the data with a developer-centric approach.
Winner: Data.gov.uk. It's all about engaging with data over creating a catalog.
Bottom Line
While Data.gov.uk was just recently launched publicly, it has many advantages over Data.gov. It's easier to use and geared towards developers, who, let's face it, are the only ones who are going to do more with the data than open it up in Excel. Data.gov has some catching up to do. Both still have a long way to go. Both are good steps in the right direction.

While Eurostat is statistics and not data, I'd love a comparison with that as well, http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat. The same goes for UN's data, http://data.un.org/. Are there any other national or regional data sets out there that we should know about?
Data.gov doesn't host the data either; it is also a link catalog.
right… i guess i meant they link to actual data files, which leads to its own set of problems.
Hi Nathan,
I've put together a Data.gov browser using Tableau Public: Data.gov Browser. The data sources covered include XLS, CSV and XML files, and it gives you a nice overview of where most of the data sets originate.
data.gov.uk SPARQLs, therefore wins (well, if they get some meaningful data in RDF format that is).
It's really not a government's place to take part in web2.0 shiny mashuppery, but to get the data out, as transparent as possible. UK's Semantic Web approach is the way to go: pure data, and documentation about it.
The current link catalogue really isn't what we've been promised or what we wanted when we talked about the machine-readable state
Coincidentally, last night I visited data.gov for the first time since it launched, hoping more datasets were in the collection. My feelings are the same about usability–it is set up like a government website and while I commend the attempt toward "transparency", the website buries the data to the point of frustration. Have you considered submitting your suggestions for improvements? http://datagov.ideascale.com/
If you haven't seen it yet, you might find this article by Nat Torkington interesting. He identifies the various issues and stakeholders that are interested in open government data, and how they might not want the same outcome. http://blog.okfn.org/2010/02/04/rethinking-open-data-lessons-learned-from-the-open-data-front-lines/.
I do find it really puzzling that Data.gov doesn't even include all the data that's already been publicly available on agency websites for awhile, including major data sets like the CDC's National Health and Nutrition Survey. (Though these agency sites have their own problems, which I wrote about here http://bit.ly/6jSbAp and here http://bit.ly/7xAJ6y.) Obviously, those data sets are already out there, but I imagined part of the function of Data.gov was to provide a centralized place to locate them. Perhaps not? It seems like there's a lot of sorting out to do, in terms of what we want, why, and what kind of financial and political will there needs to be to make it happen.
Could the differences in web design and data access be related to the relative sizes of the governments involved? I.e., is data.gov set up to be more scaleable then data.gov.uk? or is it less scaleable?
For example, there at 316 million people in the USA vs. 61 million in the U.K. I'm guessing the ratio of data sets to be made public would be far greater in the USA than in the UK, and the web site design would have to be set up to scale to much larger number of data sets and sizes.
[Btw, you may want to check out this very hard to read visualization of the UK population: http://bit.ly/bWQWns ]
Craig Thomler, a gov2.0 leader in Australia, wrote an interesting blog post on the launch of the data.gov.uk site, and how in his opinion it leapfrogged the US site. He then went on to put together his own wishlist of what could be done to make the data.australia.gov.au site leapfrog them both and has asked for feedback on what else could be done. It's worth taking a look at his blog post and contributing. http://bit.ly/aRwXgn
Don't know where you got the figure of "several hundred" data sets on Data.gov. It reached 100,000 last July: http://j.mp/BXtFS
i was going off this table on data.gov for "raw datasets':
but yes, now i see they've split up geodata and raw data. why they don't have some kind of universal search is beyond me.
Data.gov definitely not user-friendly, and I do think, unless there are some legal issues I'm unaware of (or if they're concerned about having some interest group hijack the site) that it would be better if they hosted threaded discussions on visualizations and/or data, a la Swivel or Many Eyes. Hey, all of these sites are works in progress, and I suspect that there will be rapid progress as citizens force their government to follow innovations others have introduced. Virtuous competition.

We all know honesty is the best policy so how come white
lies and fibs keep popping up on resumes? Lately, the papers are full of
stories about individuals ranging from Congressional candidates to medical
researchers to the Notre Dame football coach who have lied about (or distorted) their credentials. What gives?
In a tough job market, people may be tempted to embellish
their resumes to improve their chances of getting hired. But HR departments are
on to this phenomenon. A CareerBuilder.com http://bit.ly/ajuCTH survey found that nearly half of hiring managers surveyed
reported catching candidates lying on their resumes. That's a lot of resumes
hitting the trash can.
Ever been tempted to embellish your resume? You are clearly
not alone.
Check out the top most common fibs popping up on resumes.
They include:
Catching a job candidate in a resume lie or exaggeration is
a red-flag for hiring managers. Outright lies and even distortions can
sabotage not only your chances of getting the job to which you are currently
applying but other jobs down the road. If headhunters find out you're
untrustworthy, they won't come knocking on your door again. Professional
circles can be small; don't tarnish your reputation.
Honesty is always the best policy.
Have you ever seen a
white lie or a whopper on a resume you've been given? How does your company
conduct background checks on prospective employees? Post your thoughts here or at the Beyond Folders Facebook
by Candie Harris
I am pleased to say my resume is 100% true. I have had people encourage me to embellish skills or experience, but I like being able to tell potential employers that it is all true - every word. As an Executive Assistant, the people I work with have to be able to trust me. It doesn't say a whole lot about my character if I can't even be honest on my resume.
UeuUC6 Uh, well, explain me a please, I am not quite in the subject, how can it be?!...

Hey, I couldn't find a coctant form so I hope you don't mind me posting here. Wow, I had a great idea for your interesting little blog . I'm an internet marketer and I spend a lot of time making and reading blogs like Privacy Policy | Country Living Furniture all day. I used to just waste my energy making a few bucks here and there from google adsense but i found something SO much more powerful and better. I SWEAR ON MY PET'S GRAVE I MADE $351.76 $$CASH$$ today just 3 days after modifying my blogs. Can you imagine how floored I am? Here is where I learned all my tricks: Just giving your site a look I can tell you'll probably pull in a few hundred bucks a month extra if you modify just a little code.

The Institute
2014-2017 projects seeking donor support (PDF).
UNITAR's 2014-2017 Strategic Framework is structured around the following five high-level programmatic objectives:
1. Strengthen multilateralis
2. Promote economic and social inclusion
3. Advance environmental sustainability and green development
4. Promote sustainable peace
5. Improve resilience and humanitarian assistance
This document summarizes projects under each of the five objectives for which funding is being activity sought.
Additional information on the projects may be obtained directly from the respective contacts listed in each entry.
The UNITAR brochure available to download (PDF, 3 MB)
2012-13 Beneficiary and Event Statistics, download PDF (398 KB)
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is a training arm of the United Nations System, serving some 25,000 beneficiaries annually by conducting more than 400 capacity development and research activities around the world.
The Mission of UNITAR is to develop capacities of individuals, organizations and institutions to enhance global decision-making and to support country-level action for shaping a better future.
UNITAR works in the thematic areas of multilateralism; economic development and social inclusion; environmental sustainability and green development; sustainable peace; and resilience and humanitarian assistance.
As an autonomous body within the United Nations System, UNITAR is governed by a Board of Trustees and is headed by an Executive Director. The Institute is supported by voluntary contributions from governments, intergovernmental organizations, foundations, and other non-governmental sources.
A forward-looking vision
Many UN entities offer training on themes of relevance to their respective mandates. None of them, however, offers the expertise on how best to deliver this training, how best to capture and retain knowledge and how best to build upon it. UNITAR is therefore concentrating on the means of delivering adult training and professional learning; how to monitor and evaluate their impact on behaviour; and how to capitalize on capacity development.
In that vein, a set of strategic priorities was formulated in view of making UNITAR the calling card of the United Nations system when it comes to knowledge transfer through training on cutting edge issues, adult learning methodologies and professional training.
In addition, UNITAR conducts research on knowledge systems to explore innovative and modern approaches for high-quality training, with the goal to be a centre of excellence, measured by international standards. By doing so, the work of the Institute is benefiting to our other partners and to the entire United Nations system in its drive towards a more integrated delivery framework.

About Us
I've been sewing for as long as I can remember. Being born in Paterson, NJ, which was then the Silk City of the US, there is no way you don't sew. You're surrounded by fabric dye houses, clothing factories and many of the people you know work in that industry. As a kid, my Mom, Edith, would make my clothes and I would use the scraps to hand sew clothes for my dolls. As a young adult, I went with Edith every Wednesday to "Sewing Night" at Aunt Gloria's where all the sisters (there was nine total) and some cousins would go and help each other with their projects. I learned a ton from my Aunts, some of whom were sewing in the clothing factories. By that time, I was making all my own clothes.
I stopped sewing as the pressures of a corporate carreer took priority but, I still made the matching "this and that" that made my house a home.
When I got Angelo, I wanted cute outfits, great carriers, and all the things a "Spoiled Dog Owner" wanted for their fur-baby. I got frustrated by having to put his harness over or under an outfit. It looked terrible. I could imagine the clothes I wanted for him but couldn't find them. And the carriers! I was collecting a shelf full of ones that I thought I would love that were expensive but didn't work like I wanted.
Spoiled Dog Designs brought me back to my roots, lets me use my creativity and gives me the chance to build a better mouse trap....well at least one that works for me and hopefully works for you.
Since our founding, we have had the opportunity to do many exciting projects including making the outfits for the dogs getting married on the National Geographic Taboo Series, Muttrimony, had entries in Le Chien, the Dog Fashion Show that kicks off Palm Springs Fashion Week, and did the entire Dog Days of Birmingham Fashion Show during Birmingham Fashion Week.
1. To make and sell items that fit well, are completely functional and are comfortable for your dog while being creative and have great style. We want your dog to look and feel great in our designs.
2. When we choose products made by other manufacturers, we strive to choose items made in the USA with our standard of quality. We sample or use all new products to make sure it does what it claims to do before we offer it to you. And that enables us to give you better instructions about the product. If you have questions about any products, email us or ask us on Facebook, we're always glad to share what we know.
3. To fit all dogs, no matter what breed, size, or 'figure". We created a size chart for the basic sizes. If your dog does not fit into these ranges, or has a special figure, no problem, we'll make the item just for him/her. We built a feature on our product pages where you can add your dog's measurements so we can make the item just to fit your dog. We take the fit worry out of ordering.
4. To do special orders for you. Need a wedding dress, a lifeguard outfit, a Coast Guard Uniform? We love doing these assignments for you. Just email us and we'll be happy to create for you.
5. To share our information and welcome you to do the same.
6. To support efforts for adoption, rescue, spay, and neutering of pets.
7. To laugh and have fun....afterall a Chihuahua in a Sombrero does light up your day!
8. Last but far from least, to End Dog Nudity!
Our team
Edith moved to Palm Springs from the Catskill Mountains in New York to live with me and brought her 50 yr old Singer sewing machine with her. She started immediately sewing blankets, quilts (she was still quilting by hand), bandanas, slings and coats. She sewed until March of 2012 when she broke her hip at 94. She passed on in November 2012 but I'm not ready to remove her from this page. Please bear with me.
Angelo, a Chihuahua, was born in Puerto Vallarta, Mex. and came to the United States at 5 weeks old. He is 6 pounds and a perfect size small. He is our fit model for all boys clothes. You will see him modeling all over the website and on runways at fashion shows from Palm Springs to Birmingham. He attends trade shows with me and is in charge of selecting the treats that we sell. He loves his work!
Bella, a Chihuahua, was adopted from the Pet Rescue Center in Coachella, CA. She gets to model for website pictures and try on all our prototypes. She does runway work also and was the bride in the finale of the Birmingham show. Bella loves everyone and some day will be voted Miss Congeniality.
Sophia, yes, another Chi, was rescued from the Ventura County rescue. I was a vendor at their Adopt-a-Thon and she picked me out. She wouldn't look at anyone else so at the end of the day she was not adopted. That shelter has a high kill rate so I could not leave her there. She is no longer starved and weighs 4 1/2 pounds and even with her long legs, is a perfect XSmall. So she is the fit model for our girls' clothes and models for the website. She loves being a Super Model and loves looking at pictures of herself.
Bruno, my fourth Chi, (They say Chi's are like Potato Chips, you can't have just one!) came to us as a foster dog. Now, who was I kidding? Me, a Foster Parent? I've since learned the name for people like me is "Foster Failure". He's sweet, loving, cuddly, so no surprise, he's now part of the family. He's just started to model but still is not totally confident. Please bear with him as he gains confidence. It's written into his adoption papers...."must wear clothes".
As for me, Patt, I do the designs, fabric and trim selection, the hand finishing and hand trim work that I can do at night. I sewed in the beginning but the more I do shows and work on the website, the less I sew.
We have a small team of seamstresses who turn my ideas and sketches into the fabulous products you see on our pages. They are very talented and I am blessed that they walked into my life.
Our items are cut one at a time, sewn here in Palm Springs by our little team and finished by hand by me so you may see minor differences in trim from the pictures.
We have a permanent space at two local shows and do a number of other shows/festivals/ fairs during the year in California and Nevada. We announce on our Facebook page any special shows we're doing. Hopefully one will be in your area.
We love getting your comments, ideas and input as to what you like, need, and how we can make things better for you and your dog. Feel free to comment on Facebook or email us anytime.

Hillsborough's Township Committee passed a resolution authorizing an agreement between Somerset County and Hillsborough Township for residential recycling pick-up representing no increase in the per household rate for the 12th consecutive year.
"Once again, we have good news with regards to this contract; the Freeholders have again frozen the per-household rate for recycling pickup at $23.85 for the 12th consecutive year," stated Deputy Mayor Gloria McCauley, liaison to the Sustainable Hillsborough Committee, as the resolution was considered by the Committee.
"Through participating in the recycling program, we are assisting in reducing our landfill footprint, which is good for our environment," added McCauley.
As part of the agreement, a detailed description of what can be part of the curbside recycling program as designated by the County's Solid Waste Management Plan is listed below:
- All newsprint – securely tied in bundles no more than twelve inches in height, not to exceed 30 pounds each
- All chipboard (including cereal, cake, pasta, cracker, gift, shoe boxes, poster board) and corrugated paper boxes / materials tied in bundles not more than 24 inches square
- Junk mail, catalogs, magazines and school papers placed in a brown bag
- All glass bottles, jars and aluminum cans, rinsed and with lids removed are to be placed in a recycling bucket
- All tin-plated steel and bimetal food and beverage cans are to be placed in the recycling bucket
- All plastic bottles marked #1-#7, water, soda, milk, juice, soap detergent, bleach, shampoo and cleaning products all can be placed in the same recycling bucket as the above glass, steel and aluminum, rinsed and lids removed
"The County's website is a great resource for recycling tips," concluded the Deputy Mayor.
Additional programs offered through the county include the 1st Saturday of the Month Drop-off Days, at the Somerset County Recycling Center, the first Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Acceptable recyclables for the drop off include: newspapers, magazines, junk mail and other paper, chipboard and corrugated cardboard, phone books, all plastic bottles and containers #1-#7, microwave ovens, aluminum, steel and bimetal cans, textiles, antifreeze, scrap metal, used motor oil, oil filters, glass bottles, empty and dried-out steel paint cans, passenger tires (limit of 8 tires with or without rims), electronics, rechargeable and button-cell batteries.

Topic - "Over the Moors" who grades these routes?
astley007 - on 24 May 2012
Firstly the BMC over the moors guide is fantastic. But....
armed with my new copy of the guide went to Running Hill Pits last night and got a "good spanking"
Mangled digit..never 6a!!! good 6b for those of average size.and E3!!! void (tremadoc) is easier and thats E4!!!
Spanner wall is E3!!!
Windbreaker E2 5b!!! the same grade as Browns Eliminate at Froggatt..know which I'd rather do again..windbreaker much more serious proposition
Then we come to
Cochybondhu (which must be some uppermill dialect for "lets really F*ck them up on this one!!)E1..its hard 6a climbing, very precarious and a serious leg breaker.
These must have been graded by some "yokel local" who is 6ft 7inch have six fingers and never climb anywhere else.
On saying that I will be back for more next week (if the sun shines) but will take the gradings with a pinch of salt!!!!!
However, if I do meet him I will smile, nod my head and agree with his grading..and then make a quick exit.
Its tough in the Chew!!!

He's a small town guy with big time goals.
"I understand the culture of small towns and so the opportunity that young kids have to see somebody come back and tell them it's okay to dream big. It's okay to believe that you can do big things. I think that's important for our kids to hear that," said Mike Smith, founder of Skate for Change.
Nebraska Native Mike Smith has made it his mission to help the homeless. On Monday, he reminded Grand Island Northwest students they too can make a difference.
"I felt like I wasn't gonna finish high school because I struggle but after hearing him I know I can do it," said Maeda Finley, a sophomore at Northwest.
"It made me think that everything is possible and instead of giving up on stuff just keep pushing," said Danielle Bailey, a sophomore at Northwest.
For the past three summers, Mike's organization, Skate for Change, has hopped on their skateboards and rolled across the state for the homeless.
"I'm teaching kids that just a couple hours a week has the opportunity to leave a little bit of a legacy behind," said Mike Smith.
This summer he's going from NY to LA with a goal of giving out 1 million pairs of socks to the homeless population.
"I think I've learned to never underestimate how powerful a movement of people is."
On this day, Mike's story will leave a lasting impact on these students.
"I want to become a case worker and help kids in foster care. I was in foster care for 4 years so I want to help kids go through what I went through and help them and make sure they're safe," said Maeda.
Mike's "Be the Difference" campaign is sponsored by Runza. He hopes to continue to inspire students in rural communities across the country.

TEAMS: New York Mets, Florida State Seminoles, North Carolina State Wolfpack
#11 Juan Lagares: What They Said – 'Since signing at age 16 out of the Dominican, Lagares had moved slowly up the Mets' ladder. He played at two levels in 2011 and actually hit for a higher average in Double-A, but he struggled to repeat that success at the same level in 2012. He makes consistent contact and doesn't strike out much, but he also doesn't walk and doesn't profile to have too much power. A converted infielder, Lagares has done well in the outfield, even if his bat doesn't profile perfectly for a corner spot.' What I Thought – I thought that Lagares would need to develop power in a hurry to be of value to the Mets MLB club in any serious capacity. Sure he had a .873 OPS in A+ and a .903 in AAA for 2011, but did anyone see Lagares extra base hits and say, "This kid is a corner outfielder."? No! He hits for average and can play around the OF (only sorta in center) and that means he's no more than a 4th OF to me. What We Got – A triple slash of .283/.334/.389, an OPS

Lenders - How to Succeed on Zillow
Create a Custom Profile
The first thing to do is to create or update your profile. Add an image of your company's logo and a message that might address your market niche or specialty.
Next, start quoting!
- We have learned it takes at least 1,000 quotes to get one closed loan, but you can do this easily through automation with a third-party Quote API Provider, where you can "set it and forget it." These providers help companies, from individual brokers to large lending institutions, set up automated pricing on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.
- Or, you can manually respond to quotes, which has its own benefits. Borrowers react well to short, personalized, relevant notes on quotes. You can also set up a saved filter alert that only finds loan requests that you want to quote. Another shortcut is using pre-fill quotes and messages that you can customize as needed.
- Learn more about How to Quote and Set Max Click Price.
Get more ratings
- More ratings equals more contacts, so ask your customer contacts to rate you on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.
- Learn more about ratings
- Show off your ratings and reviews by adding the Lender Reputation Widget on your Web site or blog. This widget showcases some of the great customer reviews and ratings you've received from borrowers.
Regularly monitor click prices
Since prices for clicks continually adjust based on lender demand, make sure to regularly monitor click prices so you don't miss out on valuable loan requests and contacts from borrowers.
For example, you set filters at: Max Click Price of $2, a credit rating of 700 , and a loan-to-value of less than 80%. A loan request that fits this criteria may have been priced at $2 yesterday, but due to strong lender demand, it increased to $3 today.
When prices adjust, you won't receive any notification from us, but instead, you might notice a drop in the number of loan requests or contacts you receive.
To make sure you quote all of the loan requests that hit your sweet spot, we suggest that you:
- Regularly check loan requests for pricing changes
- Update your Max Click Price if you see click prices higher than your current filter
Other tips to get more contacts:
- Be competitive. Look at your competitors' quotes to make sure you're in the ballpark. It's important to compete well on price and to understand the True Cost of the loan, which is what customers often look at.
- Expand your filters to quote more loan requests. You won't get contacts if you don't quote a lot.
- Be smart about what you quote. Find your sweet spot, either with loan programs, location, or other criteria.
- Be honest with your quotes. Provide a quote based only on what the borrower enters in the loan request. Accurately describe all of your fees required to close the loan and stand by your quotes.
- Add a message. A personalized Lender Note can go a long way in connecting with borrowers.
- Participate in Zillow Advice. The more you show of yourself and your know-how, the more borrowers will come to trust you.
- Be patient. Just because someone doesn't respond back doesn't mean they aren't interested. The selling cycle is much longer than it was several months ago.

BMX Helmets
BMX helmets: Because it�s better to crack your helmet than your skull. Instead, use your head to shop our selection of BMX helmets.It doesn�t matter if you�re doing a can-can or your first bunnyhop, practicing air tricks or grinds means falling. It just makes sense to throw on a lid to protect your brain. XSportsProtective has a huge selection of BMX helmets for every discipline from full-face BMX helmets for dirt racing and vert riding to open-face BMX helmets for street riding. Learn more about BMX helmets below.

Thinking about wearing a on-rated BMX helmet while you ride? Watch this video first...
What kind of BMX helmet do I need?BMX helmets come in two basic designs: full-face BMX helmets and open-face BMX helmets. As with any sport, the type of helmet you need depends on what you�re going to be doing. If you�re doing flatland�just riding in the street or driveway, an open-faced BMX helmet will probably give you sufficient protection. If you�re doing BMX racing, dirt jumping, or vert , you�ll need the additional protection of a full-face BMX helmet.
Some things to remember about your BMX bike helmet
Once you�ve chosen a BMX helmet, it�s a good idea to inspect it periodically to make sure the helmet is in good shape. Even if the helmet hasn�t sustained a major hard impact, temperature extremes or exposure to common chemicals such as those found in sunscreen can damage your helmet. Learn how to inspect your BMX helmet and more about what factors can shorten the lifespan of BMX helmets in our Helmet Learning Center.
XSportsProtective staff picks for BMX helmetsOne of our favorite full face BMX helmets is the Bell Transfer-9. Meeting the ASTM 2032 safety standard for BMX, the fiberglass shell houses an EPS foam liner, plenty of vents, and an upgraded, inner comfort liner. Add technology and safety options, and what's not to like?
In open-face BMX helmets, you can�t go wrong with the ProTec B2 bike/skate helmet. The B2 has round styling for the sick skate look wrapped up in a high-impact ABS exterior shell and a multi-impact surface-activated expanded polypropylene (SXP) inner liner. You�ll look good and stay safe.
Shop the best selection of BMX helmets at The Original Protective Gear Store � XSportsProtectiveNo matter your choice of BMX helmet, we stand behind every product we sell and will work with you to get you the right equipment.

Theme Park Insider's Best Ride in North America tournament returns next week
Written by Robert Niles
Next Tuesday, March 17, 2009, Theme Park Insider will kick off its second annual "Best Ride in North America" tournament, pitting the 64 highest-rated North American theme and amusement park rides on the site against one another in a single-elimination tournament.Tweet
Last year's winner, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror from Disney's Hollywood Studios, will claim the top seed, by virtue of last year's win. It will face 63 other rides over three weeks of reader voting on ThemeParkInsider.com to see if it will defend its crown.
The basic format will remain the same as in last year's tournament. Each day we will publish several match-ups, pitting one ride against another in the field. You, and other Theme Park Insider readers, will vote for your favorite among the two. The winner moves on to the next round. With 64 rides in the tournament, we'll have six rounds of voting, with the sixth being the final match-up, on Monday, April 6.
Match-ups will be posted as entries on Theme Park Insider's front-page Blog Flume. So you and other TPI readers will be able to talk in the comments about the match-ups, and campaign for your favorites. (Or talk trash about the ones you don't like so much....) Voting will remain open for just one day for each match-up, so don't forget to check the site every day during the tournament, if you want your voice heard.
Here's how we decided which rides to include in the tournament, and how to seed them:
Just like last year, we're running a reader contest with the tournament. We're giving $100 to the reader who does the best job in predicting the outcome of the tournament. All you have to do is tell us which rides you think will be the final four rides left in the tournament, and which of those four you think will be the winner.
E-mail your picks, along with your name and mailing address to email@example.com. The contest is open to residents of the United States, age 18 and up. No purchase necessary, yada, yada, yada. Employees of Niles Online (that's me and my wife) are not eligible, although I'll make picks just so we can all see how badly I do. Only your first received entry will be considered, so don't bother e-mailing more than once.
The contest closes at 8 am, PDT, on Tuesday, March 17.
If you'd like some extra help picking your four, I'll be e-mailing the tournament bracket and voting schedule to subscribers to Theme Park Insider's e-mail newsletter on Monday, one day before I post them on the website (and one day before the contest closes). So if you have not yet subscribed to the TPI e-mail newsletter, just fill out and click the form under "GET NEWS BY E-MAIL" on the upper left of any Theme Park Insider page.
So, please spread the word and be ready to vote next Tuesday!
Readers' Opinions
From brian lochridge on March 10, 2009 at 1:15 PM
Get ready for the Disney nuts to come out again in droves. I'm sure there's already a viral campaign starting trying to get all the Disney nuts out there to get on here and vote. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Disney fan but come on, TOT isn't even the best ride at Disney, much less the Champion. I'm pumped for this, thanks Charles, I can't wait to see who Cinderella is this year.
From Ryan Sanford on March 10, 2009 at 2:52 PM
Can't wait till' the 17th!
From Pyra Dong on March 10, 2009 at 4:17 PM
I know I'm still fairly new to TPI, but... COME ON... for real? TOT was the winner last year? So I'm putting a call-out to the non-Disney fans out there because my impression of this contest is that the majority of voters are Disney-lovers... and I think rides OUTSIDE of Disney are just as awesome-- if not better. So let's balance the vote!
From Nick Markham on March 10, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Well, I can't do the contest, but I think it will be between Tower of Terror, Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, Toy Story Mania, and The Simpson's Ride!
From James Rao on March 10, 2009 at 7:42 PM
While this web site has a fairly diversified following, it does tend to celebrate traditional theme parks like Disney and Universal over Iron Ride Parks like Cedar Point and Magic Mountain. Parks that put story and immersion above thrills and upset stomachs! However, in a world filled with "balanced and fair" reporting, there are plenty of other sites and awards that celebrate traditional amusment parks and the "highest" and "tallest" and "fastest" of this ride or that. The Golden Ticket Awards are very thrill ride oriented, for one example.
Don't get me wrong, most of us wimpy and weak Disney Fanboys like a good coaster as much as the next burly and bruising Cedar Point Jock, but in the end, to us a coaster is still just a coaster, while a good story lasts forever (I think Marty Sklar of WDI once said something very similar).
So be warned: most of the voters in this contest will indeed give props to story over thrills, theming over speed, and immersion over height. Accept that fact, and move on. Don't hate the playa, and all that...
But, trust me, the dichotomy between Theme Parks and Iron Ride Parks is the spice of life...and the comments will be ablaze with supporters of both sides. It will be a hoot!
And in the end, because every ride/attraction in this tournament is worthy of some measure of praise, it is us, the voters, who are the true winners!
From James Rao on March 10, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Can I just go ahead and pick my final four now?
4. Ariel's Grotto
Incidentally, I am getting a shirt made for this tournament. It will be a black "T-shirt" with a big picture of Tinkerbell on the front and a series of heart-shaped Disney Princess lockets imprinted on each sleeve. And in true Rod Smart fashion the name on the back of the jersey will be: "He Hate Me."
Anyone else as fired up as I am!!!!!????
From Rob P on March 11, 2009 at 3:00 AM
Can't argue with James on this. Good points and well made.
I'll be surprised if some of the perennials don't win out here.......and rightly so. At the end of the day : if more people like a particular ride and vote for it then it deserves to win no matter what Park it's in.
Perhaps some of the overboard thrill junkies will still be shaking too much to hit the keyboard to vote( lol )
From W McDougal on March 11, 2009 at 7:37 AM
I hope Snow White takes down a coaster or two.
From Don Neal on March 11, 2009 at 10:34 AM
James, can you get me a Large in one of those shirts you described? And on the back of mine, I want it to say "chaps make the man" Thanks! ;)
And yes, this was a blast last year! Really looking forward to it!
From brian lochridge on March 11, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Is there going to be a play in game? You could match two lower rated rides and have them square off to be the first ride to face the defending champ TOT. Just a thought to make things a little more fun.
And James come on, we all know Mr Toads Wild Ride will return form the dead to take it all.
From James Rao on March 11, 2009 at 12:54 PM
I <heart> Chaps and Toads!
From Don Neal on March 11, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Chap wearin' Toads FTW!!
From Joshua Counsil on March 11, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Damn ... can't do the contest.
Still, here are my final four guesses:
Tower of Terror
Same picks as last year.
From Charles Reichley on March 16, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Looking forward to voting.
It surprised me though that BG-Williamsburg has 3 coasters in the tournament, while it looks like Kings Island and Kings Dominion have none.
I kind of expected one of the woodies from KI to be there, and maybe the Dominator at KD. Guess they aren't as popular as I thought they were. :-)

Illinois Republican governor candidates made their final campaign stops Monday rallying potential voters just hours before the polls open on Tuesday.
Three of the four candidate stopped in southern Illinois Monday: Bill Brady, Bruce Rauner, Kirk Dillard, along with their running mates.
A spokesman said Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford would be spending the day calling supporters.
Early poll numbers have Rauner leading the race with 36 percent support.
The poll showed Dillard at 23 percent while state Senator Bill Brady and Treasurer Dan Rutherford lost support in recent weeks.
Polling stations in Illinois are gearing up for Tuesday's primary election.
Across Illinois, thousands will head to the polls.
Williamson County Clerk Amanda Barnes says there are 65 polling places in Williamson County alone, which means there will be a lot of ballots to collect.
She expects results to be in after 7 p.m. Tuesday, but nothing is official for two weeks.
"We are waiting on absentees to come back. Plus we have all of the absentees, early voting, it is done here at our office that will have to be added to those numbers," Barnes said.
