Jake Wright was on pace to set or break Kankakee Valley's record for triples in a single season.
The catch is, baseball teammate Zach DeFries got there first, and then kept going, tying the state's record with 12. Wright, whose five triples already put him in the top five all-time at K.V., is willing to settle for other records.
The senior catcher's .559 batting average is on the cusp of the school record of .564 as the Kougars head into the postseason boasting not just one heavy hitter in the lineup, but two with averages that soar over the .425 mark and extra-base hits too boot.
"I kept wondering if they were going to hit a slump or taper off, when that's going to happen, if that's going to happen," coach Doug Greenlee said. "Fortunately, I don't see that because they're both fundamentally sound. Sure there have been some games haven't looked as good, but they've made the adjustments necessary."
Both were .375 hitters last season, who have quickly adapted to the new BBCOR bats. In terms of offseason preparation, the two couldn't be more different.
Wright worked on his bat speed in Valparaiso with Detroit Tigers' hitting coach Lloyd McClendon. DeFries took what he's learned from summer baseball coaches and spring high school coaches and worked independently in batting cages.
What the varied tactics produced is DeFries, an outfielder with 12 triples and five doubles, and Wright, the catcher with 12 doubles and five triples.
"We've been right there with each other all through high school," Wright said. "Zach's the one I try to compete with. What no one knows is that I tied school record triples. Then he set the new one."
DeFries bats leadoff for the Kougars, boasting a .607 on-base percentage that is only bettered by Wright, who bats third and gets on base 69.9 percent of the time. DeFries has 30 RBI as a leadoff hitter and Wright has 39.
"Everyone has up and down years, but this is so different," DeFries said. "I've never seen two guys who have been so consistent all year. It's just a great feeling."
DeFries, who said he didn't have more than a couple triples before in his career, worked on his speed in the offseason so that he'd have a quicker first step.
Both said they're feeling the ball come off the bat with a line drive that is finding the open holes.
"I think a lot of sports and athletics is preparation," Greenlee said. "I know these guys are prepared, both in what we do with them and what they do in the offseason."
The Kougars open their postseason by hosting the sectional with a 4:30 p.m. game today against Knox.

UPDATE: We added another video below, which shows the pipe being flipped back and forth with the magnets inside.
The next time your party turns sour, or just straight up boring you can resolve to this hand DIY magic trick. Okay, it's not exactly a magic trick and nor is it an illusion. Actually, it's more of a science experiment that is sure to impress anyone that has a general understanding of how gravity works.
Just simply drop a stack of neodymium magnets through a copper tube. Most humans will expect the magnets to rapidly drop to the floor since they're not exactly feather light. But in actual fact they'll slowly float through the tube. Keep in mind float is a relative term, so perhaps a slow decent is a bit more accurate. Supposedly "the neodymium magnets are super powerful and even though they are not attracted to the copper, they still produce eddy currents that buffer the fall as seen in the video."

Facebook will have the last laugh
Myth No. 3: Reinvestment will keep Facebook profits low
This could be the biggest myth holding back Facebook stock right now, and it's probably the dumbest, too. I get that investors are highly focused on quarterly results -- which get hit by long-term investment. But long-term investments pay off big time for patient investors.
Just look at Amazon.com (AMZN). Its stock has often been dinged by analysts and investors over the years because CEO Jeff Bezos didn't mind sacrificing short-term profits to fund long-term investments. Yet the stock has more than doubled since 2010.
Like Bezos, Zuckerberg isn't afraid to sacrifice short-term profits to invest. That's refreshing in this age of short-term thinking.
"We're doing what we think will build the best service and business over the long term," Zuckerberg said in the most recent conference call, explaining why higher outlays for servers, data centers and more code writers will weigh on profit margins this year.
Investing for the long term is exactly right move for Facebook, says Vandeventer. He says Facebook's relatively low overhead will turn it into a huge cash-flow machine once the investment tapers off.
At least one sell-side analyst agrees. Investments over the next one or two years "should drive meaningful revenue growth," says Anmuth, at JPMorgan Chase. He thinks sales will grow 49% to $7.6 billion in 2014, compared with $5 billion last year, and earnings per share will rise to 45 cents from 2 cents.
Myth No. 4: Facebook will go out of style
People have been warning about this one for years, but Facebook keeps proving them wrong. Consider a few numbers. Facebook ended 2012 with 1.06 billion users, up 25% for the year. In December, 618 million people a day accessed Facebook on average, a 28% increase. Mobile users grew to 680 million, up 57%.
Sure, upstart social-networking sites like Snapchat might be "cooler," but at this point Facebook's sheer size is what matters most, for two reasons.
First, it's good for advertisers. "As an investor, a billion users and growing is just fine with me," says Landis. And while the parents have arrived, Facebook still skews young, which advertisers love. The average user age is 22.
Second, the sheer size of Facebook creates a "network effect" that makes it hard for people to go to other social-networking sites. All your friends are there, and it would be pain to try to get everyone to migrate elsewhere. "We believe hundreds of millions of users face switching costs that keep them from leaving Facebook," says Morningstar analyst Rick Summer. So he gives Facebook a highly coveted "wide moat" rating -- which means in his view it has the kind of protective moat around its business that Warren Buffett likes to see. Summer has a four-star rating on the stock, Morningstar's second-highest rating.
Myth No. 5: Facebook stock is already too expensive
Facebook is an "emerging growth" company, which means it has only barely turned profitable. Earnings are so low that the most common measure of value, the price-earnings ratio, is not meaningful. Minuscule earnings of just 2 cents a share in 2012 give Facebook a nonsensically high trailing p/e of 1,200. Just ignore people who cite this number.
A better way to look at valuation here is to consider Facebook's stock price compared with its earnings before interest, taxes and accounting adjustments, one measure of cash flow. Facebook trades for 20 times expected 2014 cash flow of $3.8 billion, compared with a multiple of 44 times this measure for LinkedIn (LNKD), and 35 times for Yelp (YELP), says Anmuth, at JPMorgan Chase. Not a value stock by any means. But not expensive, either, compared with companies in similar businesses.
Myth No. 6: This stock should be avoided because the first quarter is always weak
Historically, Facebook has posted slower growth for the first quarter. That might repeat again this year, so it's best to avoid the stock, according to this theory. But if you are a long-term investor, this is no reason to avoid the stock, given all the positive long-term trends in place.
Another cloud over this stock is a May 18 "lockup release" which will free early investors to sell as many as 47 million shares. The stock price could weaken right around the lockup release, though there are no guarantees. Considering Facebook's potential, it probably won't matter much whether you buy it now or on a possible pullback on around mid-May.
Where is Facebook stock going long term? No one knows for sure, but here are two reasonably conservative estimates. Summer, at Morningstar, thinks Facebook will generate $40 billion in annual revenue by 2021. Put Google's current 5.2 sales multiple on that and you get a $208 billion market cap for Facebook. Facebook stock advances 3.3 times to $84.
Landis, at Firsthand Technology Value Fund, thinks there's "no question" Facebook will match Google in market cap at some point, since they're in a similar businesses and Facebook is just as good at it. Google has a market cap of $264 billion; Facebook's market cap would have to advance 4.2 times to get there. This move would send Facebook stock well above $100.
Either way, owning Facebook will surely beat owning an S&P 500 index fund over that time frame. And if you have investing friends who dislike Facebook right now, you'll have the last laugh.
This article was updated May 15 to reflect the latest share prices and forecasts.
At the time of the update, Michael Brush owned shares of Facebook and had recommended it to readers of his newsletter. Brush is the editor of Brush Up on Stocks, an investment newsletter.
Do you know what I found by NOT using Facebook ?
Let's see;
- more time to spend with my wife & kids,
- worker productivity up,
- more time for my clients,
- more time to surf,
- more time to fish,
- more time to scuba,
- more time to ride my Harley,
- more time to spend with neighbors and actually talk to them,
- more time to work with the developmentally disabled,
- more time to help our homeless in our community,
- more time to for my wife to drag me to a shopping mall (I'll hear it about that one),
- more time to work on my boat,
- more time to work on my lil' Ferrari,
- more time to enjoy Crown Royal Manhattans,
- more time to get a good nights rest,
- more time to tell you about it :{)
So how much time do you have to do the things that are important with using it ??
Before I buy any Facebook shares, I would like to hear from Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman. Remember him? He's the guy who smugly tried to stay off criticism of his firm's handling of the IPO by saying in a CNBC interview, "Come talk to me about Facebook in a year." Well James, that was eleven months ago, and Facebook's stock has never even come close to the IPO price since.
I would also like Sheryl Sandberg and other senior officers of Facebook to come out of hiding from the press and tell us why they've been frantically selling their shares of Facebook ever since the IPO. If they think the stock is worth so much more than its current price, shouldn't they be buying it instead of selling it?
We now appear to be on the dump side of a second pump and dump cycle in Facebook stock. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a third time….well, that would be laughable.
This piece of garbage has absolutely no redeeming features and little value as a tool for advertising. It is purchased by media "because all the others" are doing it. But then what do you expect from the majority of advertising "execs" as they are so out touch with the real world as seen in most advertising today.
My answer is to any company that if I have to "like you" to see what you are offering, you just sent me to your competition. I cannot for the life of me figure out how this little "doofus" conned the internet providers into allowing this intrusion on their sites. I have blocked facebook from my computer for the simple reason that I do not appreciate having to go through another website to get to the intended information that I selected.
Yes I am prevented sometimes from completing my search because I "can't pass through" to my destination because of facebook, but I haven't lost anything other then my "rising blood pressure" when I am forced to view crap I didn't want in the first place. So company execs, pat each other on the a$$ at your next awards banquet when you receive the "Addys" and admired by your own while your customers in the real world is bypassing you.
My biggest concern still is that it is a flash in the pan. Take 8 years lots happen in technology. T-Mobile with Side kicks. Dell computers. AOL of the 90's. And take disinterest.
I'm a Facebook user as well as a few others like LinkedIn. I have taken most of my professional info off Facebook recently, I cancelled my myspace for prior security reasons on my prior job. And some new functions on facebook were very alarming in privacy concerns like locators-- and mapping all the places I've worked or been at. Besides those reasons I just don't find it very much to do on it.
I can easily envision newer sites that pool together several media sites into one, so that moat would be destroyed. Just like instant messengers from AOL, Yahoo, msn, etc. had apps to bring them into one-- so it didn't matter which you were apart of, another app brought them together. When a social media system is created that does this, Facebook will lose control of the moat effect.
Youtube and other streaming video are a better bet.
Facebook is a honeypot of personal private data that is secured by chewing gum and bread ties. Add to it it's only revenue stream is selling said private data to the highest bidder with no real objections to whom. So in essence: Facebook is nothing more than an ad generating, private data collecting one stop shop for dubious forces out there on the Interbutts.
No matter what so called financial experts say: Facebook's stock is going to resemble Ba-Zynga's stock soon: Near or exactly worthless.
big privacy thief's !!!more scam and lies and corruption from facebook he sold more then 1 billion shares to friends and private bankers before it was on the real share market other people go to jail for it !!! the keep there likes, and fig up with bots still and all in court for it !!! people must be blind?? its not a company !!! the don't have value the try to sell tin air ?!!!

Parameter Estimate Uncertainty in Probabilistic Debt Sustainability Analysis
AbstractThis paper extends the probabilistic debt sustainability analysis (DSA) developed by Celasun, Debrun, and Ostry (2006) to account explicitly for parameter estimation errors in the debt projection algorithm. This extension highlights public debt projection uncertainty resulting from both the intrinsic volatility of debt determinants and the inaccuracy of the parameter estimates of econometric models employed in the projections. The revised algorithm is applied to conduct a debt sustainability analysis of Uruguay. As part of this exercise, a restricted vector autoregression and a country-specific fiscal reaction function are employed. The resulting increase in the variance of the debt projections that account for the uncertainty of parameter estimates in the forecast is smaller than may have been anticipated, as the improved specification of the underlying econometric model reduces the variance of debt projections. Hence, more precise estimates of economic fundamentals and fiscal policy reaction allow for a feasible debt forecast with a more accurate depiction of its inherent forecast uncertainty.

Q: I am a 78-year-old man who's about an inch and a half shorter than he used to be. Why am I shrinking? — R.J., Macon
A: We're all getting shorter with age. Blame gravity. There are 23 discs between the vertebrae that make up our spine. Over time and over the years, these shock-absorber discs dry out a bit and get compressed from all the weight of gravity they bear. That causes them to shrink a bit.
Let's say that you lose 1 to 2 millimeters of height from each disc. That may seem pretty small, but if every disc loses 1 to 2 millimeters of height, that's between 23 and 46 millimeters of height. There are 25.4 millimeters to an inch, so it's easy to shrink an inch or so with age. Even our daily height varies depending upon the time of day. At the end of day, we're a little bit shorter, thanks to the effect of gravity; by morning, we've gained that height back. So if you want to feel taller, measure your height first thing in the morning.
But there's another part to all this: bone loss from osteoporosis. If there's significant bone loss and decreased bone density, the vertebrae themselves may compress or even fracture. That's why screening for osteoporosis in women at menopause (or earlier if on chronic steroids) and any men that might be at risk is so important. While we've got drugs to slow the rate of bone loss (estrogen replacement therapy, calcium) and drugs to reverse osteoporosis (Evista, Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva), we can't restore height to your spine. The only exception is an acute compression fracture, for which an orthopedic surgeon can perform a procedure called "kyphoplasty" to restore height and mend the fracture.
But gravity can be a good thing, too. It stimulates bone activity and helps combat osteoporosis. Astronauts, nearly weightless in space, suffer accelerated loss of bone. The benefit of weight-bearing exercises such as walking, jogging, tennis or dance is clear.

A public hearing Tuesday afternoon will address a proposed tax on outdoor advertising transactions, and one company's response to the proposal.
Pittsburgh Council President Darlene Harris and Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak, whose district includes Brookline, proposed a tax on outdoor advertising—mainly, billboards—as a way to hold multi-million dollar billboard companies accountable for the city services that enable their profits.
But Lamar Advertising Company, the main supplier of billboard advertising in the Pittsburgh area, recently responded to the proposal by using its own billboards to advertise against Rudiak and Harris.
Rudiak argues that the tax is justified because it would provide vital funding for the city's police department. Tax money would pay for City of Pittsburgh police cars, which, according to the Pittsburgh Council District 4 website, must be replaced regularly at a cost of $2 to $3 million per year.
"Given today's hard economic times, it is vital that we close tax privilege loopholes that let corporations off the hook," Rudiak states on the District 4 website. "We all have the responsibility to protect our neighborhoods from crime and neglect."
According to the proposal, the city would impose a 10-percent tax on the purchase or rental of billboard advertising space. The tax would be collected by the billboard company when the advertiser pays for the space.
But Jonathan Kamin, attorney for Lamar Advertising Company, said Lamar isn't the only company that would be affected negatively by the tax.
"Ten percent is a pretty hefty tax," Kamin said. "We think it will have a pretty hefty effect on our business and on those who seek to advertise in the city."
Lamar began posting billboards against Rudiak and Harris in mid-October.
"Everybody is talking about it as a billboard tax, but what no one understands is this is actually a tax to the user," Kamin said. "It's discriminatory too, because they are putting it on this form of advertising but not other forms of advertising. It's like saying if you choose to use outdoor advertising you're punished for it."
Kamin said that when former councilman Doug Shields first proposed the tax last year, representatives from Lamar and from the city discussed the effect the tax would have on advertising in the city.
"We had a number of conversations about how we (Lamar) thought this could be injurious to everyone who does business in city of Pittsburgh," Kamin said. "In an age when people are trying to make dollars go further, we found this to be devoid of logic."
According to the District 4 website, Lamar purchased a billboard on Route 51 at Edgebrook Avenue for more than $5 million, but is paying less than $40 per year in property taxes for it.
Kamin said that statement is misleading, and that the $5 million was spent on a bulk purchase in which Lamar bought more than 400 properties, as well as billboard structures.
He said Harris and Rudiak's statement concerning the amount Lamar pays in property taxes per year is not true.
The billboards are considered personal property under state law, so billboard companies don't pay property taxes on the signs. But Kamin said Lamar still pays real estate tax on the property—mainly vacant land, he said—that the company owns.
He said Lamar pays between $50,000 and $80,000 a year in taxes to the City of Pittsburgh, and also pays an additional $60,000 per year in permit fees.
Residents will have an opportunity to speak about the issue at Tuesday's public hearing.
If you're going:
What: Billboard Tax Public Hearing.
When: Tuesday, Nov. 13, 1 p.m.
Where: City Council Chambers, 414 Grant Street, 5th Floor.
If you want to speak: Call the City Clerk (412-255-2138) to sign up for 3 minutes to speak in support of this legislation.

That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he's stuck in 2007 and can't get back to the future.
Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.
But it's not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these "Enemies of Time" will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit… or kill him.
Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he's willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world.
I remember being really disappointed when the movie Jumper came out a few years ago because it just didn't live up to the potential of the idea (and presumably the book by Steven Gould which I haven't read). Ditto for The Butterfly Effect. Well disappointment is the last thing I feel having just devoured Julie Cross' debut, TEMPEST. It is so exciting, exhilarating, and emotionally absorbing that I'm not even the least bit surprised the a movie version is already in the works.
Unlike the two movie I referenced, TEMPEST takes the idea of a college guy with a newly discovered ability to manipulate time and space and runs with it. The whole concept of time travel in this book is meticulously well developed but explained gradually and fluidly so that the information is dispensed without the reader even realizing it, and yet by the end, I fully understood how everything worked. Loved that.
I also loved the character of Jackson. Every single thing about him was believable. From his commitment phobias stemming from a childhood loss, to his quick thinking and suspicious nature, and his somewhat reckless behavior with his abilities. I bought everything so completely, that I'd believe this was a work of non fiction if it weren't for the time travel. Jackson's girlfriend Holly was really the only character who I found to be a bit lacking, but considering how strong everyone else was, that's barely a criticism.
As the first book in the trilogy, TEMPEST does leave a number of questions unanswered and it's clear that there will be an overarching story that spans the series, but the ending is very satisfying. There's enough mystery, romance, intrigue, and action here to captivate any reader. And it's all told from the perspective of a humorous and disarming protagonist whose transformation over the course of this book has me completely invested in his story, which I can't wait to continue in the next Enemies of Time book on January 17, 2013.

7 Responses to Early Review: Tempest by Julie Cross
Jumper the book is definitely better than the movie! I hadn't really seen much on Tempest, definitely going to check it out.
Ooh, this one sounds really good. I hadn't heard of it before, but I'll check it out!
P.S. I actually enjoyed Jumper. I mean, I didn't take it seriously, but I thought it was pretty cool. Hopefully that means I'll really love Tempest!
I've heard a little about Tempest before. The cover alone got my attention. I'm so glad to hear you liked it. Makes me want to read it all the more. Thanks for the review!
(I liked Jumper too. (I didn't read the book) It felt half done though, a lot of build up and then it ended. WTF? But I liked the idea and the characters and the globe hopping.)
I didn't hate Jumper, but I thought it could have been so much more given the premise. TEMPEST did live up to its premise. It was such a fun read. I read it a couple months ago & I'm still thinking about it.
I agree about Jumper it could have been so much better.
I really enjoyed this book. One of the reasons was Jackson. I enjoyed watching him grow as a character. I haven't read too many time travel novels but this one was so exciting and I can't wait to read the next book in this trilogy. Especially after the ending. It wasn't a cliff hanger but it made me eager to learn more about this world.
Thanks for the review. I haven't read Tempest yet, but I really want to!
@Nicole – Yep, I loved Jackson too. I don't read a ton of books with a male protagonist, but I would if more were as real and relatable as Jackson.
@Brenda – Go pre-order it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

« Kyle Busch is the smartest driver in NASCAR | Main | Edwards, Busch confirm Cup teams have huge advantage in Nationwide Series »
Race Preview and Fantasy Picks: Lenox Industrial Tools 301
By admin | June 25, 2009
By Richard Allen
Track and Location: New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH
Track Layout: 1.058 mile oval with 12 degrees of banking in the turns
Race Distance:Â 318 miles/301 laps
Date of Race: Sunday(June 28, 2009)
Radio Coverage: PRN(1:00pm Eastern)
Television Coverage: TNT(1:30pm Eastern)
Start Time: 2:15pm Eastern
Last Year's Winner: Kurt Busch
Here are some thoughts for the Lenox Industrial Tools 301:
This is one race which may actually be too short rather than too long. The race distance seems more suited to the Nationwide Series than the Sprint Cup Series. This flat, one-mile track puts handling at a real premium. The team that can get their car turning best in the center of the corner will win provided there are no unusual circumstances.
Last year rain played havoc with this track. This race was cut short due to rain and qualifying for the fall race here was rained out.
Kurt Busch was able to win this race last year by staying on the track when most other lead lap cars pitted only to have the rain set in and end the race early.
Drivers who should do well: Drivers who can avoid overdriving their cars in these flat turns stand the best chance of doing well here.
Martin Truex- Although he has never won here he has scored more points on this track since the inception of the CoT than any other driver.
Jimmie Johnson- A flat track in which handling is at a premium means this guy has to be considered a favorite.
Tony Stewart- A potentially hot, slick track with little banking sounds perfectly suited for a guy who started racing in sprint cars. He led the most laps in this race last year.
Greg Biffle- He won here last fall which may be a better indicator since that race ran the full distance.
Denny Hamlin- He has had five Top 10s in only six races here.
Drivers to avoid: Drivers who overdrive their cars or who drive for teams not typically able to find the handle will struggle here.
Juan Pablo Montoya- He has no Top 10s here in four tries.
Brian Vickers- Only one Top 10 in nine starts.
David Reutimann- He has never scored a top 10 here.
Winner of the Lenox Industrial Tools 301: Tony Stewart
These are only suggestions. Do your own research and enjoy the Lenox Industrial Tools 301.

Albany -- Albany police have caught the man who repeatedly robbed a Waffle House.
These surveillance photos were taken during the last robbery on September 5th. Police say the man is 20-year old Cleveland Roberts.
He was an employee of the Waffle House on Westover Road and is believed to have driven across town on three different occasions to rob the Waffle House on East Oglethorpe.
After these photos were shown, television viewers phoned in tips that led Investigators to Roberts. Sgt. Kendra Wilson said "Once we did the search warrant on the house, the jacket and everything matched."
Investigators say Roberts has confessed to two of the armed robberies. They think he may have committed other robberies.

Four years after she won the women's moguls event at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Team USA's Hannah Kearney is favored to capture gold yet again at the 2014 Sochi Games, according to odds posted to SkyBet on Feb. 5. Moguls action begins Feb. 6 with the qualification round.
Kearney, 27, overcame numerous serious injuries throughout the course of her freesking career and enters the competition with 10/11 odds of defending her title. Sochi will represent the 2013 FIS World Cup moguls champion's third Olympic appearance, and she will be the 20th of the 30 athletes entered to compete in qualifications.
A pair of Canadian sisters, Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe, are rated second and third with respective odds of 2/1 and 13/2. Their older sister, Maxime, sits further back in the pack with a smaller 16/1 shot at winning gold.
Japan's Miki Ito is ranked fourth with 11/1 odds, just a hair ahead of Kearney's teammate Heidi Kloser, who enters competition with 12/1 odds of her own.
The rest of the pre-event posted odds are as follows:
- Yulia Galysheva, Kazakhstan, 20/1
- Britteny Cox, Australia, 40/1
- Ekaterina Stolyarova, Russia, 50/1
- Marika Pertakhiya, Russia, 50/1
- Regina Rakhimove, Russia, 50/1
- Audrey Robichaud, Canada, 66/1
- Elena Muratova, Russia, 66/1
- Nicole Parks, Australia, 66/1
- Taylah O'Neill, Australia, 66/1
Although they're not rated, two other American freeskiers will compete in the ladies' moguls competition. Per the posted schedule, Eliza Outtrim and Heather McPhie will ski second and third during the qualification round.
After the field is trimmed to just 20 during qualifiers, the event final at the 2014 Winter Olympics will take place Feb. 8 in Sochi.

2013 Michel Gassier Cercius Vin de France White
"On the southern edge of the Rhone Valley near the ancient city of Nimes the legendary mistral winds of Provence sweep over the vines and out to the Mediterranean Sea. The Latin name for these north-northwest winds is CERCIUS – the defining feature and raison d'etre for partners Michel Gassier, Philippe Cambie and Eric Solomon to launch this project. The brisk cross winds protect the grapes freshness which is preserved during vinification in concrete tanks. Straw yellow with soft green highlights. Very aromatic ,predominately aromas of citrus,flowers and flint. Medium bodied and crisp."

I once had a boss who was impossible to work for. The man was cocky and ex-military with the social skills of a bull in a china store. He frequently stole credit for the ideas of others, gave no encouraging feedback, and criticized every move his employees made. He had a sign above his desk that read "The floggings will continue until the morale improves." He kept the entire staff one step north of miserable.
There were times when I felt like seeking gainful employment as a grave robber, just to get away.
Anyone who has been on the receiving end of bad management will be pleased to know there are actually good bosses in the workforce, men and women who exhibit outstanding leadership, accept responsibility with ease, and know how to motivate their employees. These bosses are never verbally or psychologically abusive. They create value for their companies. In other words, they know how to lead.
One such boss is Kyle Visser, 26, the owner of Shred Tec, a Eureka business that offers secure document shredding services to the community. Kyle is exactly the kind of person you want running things.
I recently sat down with Shred Tec office manager Emily Martin and warehouse supervisor Jon Anderson to learn more about their boss. I discovered that the caliber of this young man's leadership abilities speak greatly as to the quality of his rapidly growing company.
"Kyle is a very ethical person by nature," noted Emily. "Every decision is made with ethics first and profit second. He goes to great lengths to produce very little waste and purchase everything possible locally."
Jon pointed out that his boss is a good problem-solver who manages up and sideways effectively. "He's a very innovative and out-of-the-box thinker," said Jon. "He makes all decisions rationally and carefully, but still quite boldly."
One thing that Jon and Emily enjoy most about working at Shred Tec is that Kyle doesn't blatantly criticize his employees. And when conflicts arise, he works toward a solution.
"He will tell you what you're doing wrong, how it can be improved, and why he believes it needs to be done that way," said Emily. "Then he will ask whether you agree with him and why or why not. If our point is valid, he will accept that. If it's not, he explains why and checks that we feel the same."
"Everyone's opinions are valued," added Jon. "And I mean everyone. If a big decision is being made, Kyle values and takes into account everyone's ideas."
Another thing Shred Tec employees appreciate about their boss is that they get credit for their ideas. "It may not always be a physical reward," said Jon, "but some simple recognition goes a long way in making someone feel like their ideas and actions are important and are directly contributing to the success of the company."
The biggest thing most employees look for in management is, "Does he or she have my back?" According to Emily, her boss does. "Kyle genuinely cares about us. I once offhandedly mentioned that I had a headache at work. He asked if I'd like to go home and I refused to do so. So he loaned me his laptop and I finished the rest of the day's work in the La-Z-Boy recliner in his office.
"Kyle doesn't like think of himself as the 'boss'," added Emily. "He sees himself on an equal level with all of his employees. He respects our workspace and our ideas. Shred Tec is a fun place to work. We taste test food, joke and talk, and celebrate holidays. Jon and I agree that Kyle is easily the best boss either of us has ever worked for. As a result, we love our jobs, and we genuinely want to do what we can to help the business succeed."

Tim Dlugos, "Gilligan's Island," mid-1970s. One of my favorites.
Marvin J. Taylor, director of the Fales Library and Special Collections, on Tim Dlugos's friends:
Tim very much saw himself as a New Wave Frank O'Hara. As a New York School poet, he was very aware of the tradition of collaboration between contemporary poets and painters. O'Hara and Larry Rivers and Joe Brainard and Kenward Elmslie come to mind. In fact, Brainard and Elmslie were friends of Tim's—Tim lived in Elmslie's Greenwich Village townhouse when he first moved to New York.
Tim Dlugos died of AIDS in 1990. He was forty years old, the same age as Frank O'Hara when he died in a dune buggy accident in 1966.
A flyer distributed in the aftermath of Marsha P. Johnson's death in 1992. The flyer can be found in the John J. Kearns Papers at the National Archive for LGBT History.
Screenshot from the film Pay It No Mind: The Life and Times of Marsha P. Johnson, 2012, directed by Michael Kasino and Richard Morrison, which you can watch here.
Author Bobby Miller read the following poem (Bobby Miller, "Marsha P. Johnson March," circa 1992) in a taped interview, which can be found in the John J. Kearns Papers at the National Archive for LGBT History. It is copied below from this forum post.
Miss Marsha P. Johnson could march. A true 1 2 3 4 step in place step march. She marched that march out of Hoboken and into the big apple when it was still called the big mary. She marched that march up Christopher Street to Sheridan Square where she carved out her place in history.
Where she sat morning to night and panhandled asking in that familiar rasp of a voice, " Got any spare change for a dying queen?" Miss Marsha P. Johnson marched across 8th Street, down St. Marks Place headed to Club 82 , now the Bijoux, but back then was when feathers and sequins were the rule. Marsha P. Johnson dressed casual on Easter Eve wearing pink and white Easter Bunny ears, Easter basket in hand, marching that march, wearing big rubber rabbit teeth and smiling a big Easter Bunny smile. The sidewalk parted in awe. Behold Miss marsha P. Johnson.
She marched that march up 11th Avenue into the parked cars of lonely married men from New Jersey who were looking for a taste of something special and she was it.
Miss Marsha P, as in pay it no mind, free as the wind at her back. On even the coldest of winter eves she would march that march onto the stage of life singing a simple song and speaking a simple tale to the people.
A tale of hope in darkness. A tale of love and acceptance. A tale about the importance of charity.
Miss Marsha P. Johnson spent the day and early evening working the crowds at Sheridan Square only to walk a block and find a sister of the streets in greater need than she, " How ya doin' kid?" she'd ask. "Not to good Miss Marsha , I been here all day and I only got a buck fifty." Marsha would empty her cup into her sister's and return back to her spot on the sidewalk and start over working the late shift.
Miss Marsha P. Johnson marched that march into the lives of those who knew and loved her.
Miss Marsha P. Johnson found floating face down in the Hudson River one hot July morning. No one knows for certain what happened. But you can place your bets that she went out the same way she came in, with a fight, with a faith that carried her over to the other side where she marchs still.
And those streets, so paved with gold, will hear the glorified click of her high heels forever, while she watches over the children of the streets and marching her way into history.

From the Poetry Lectures podcast episode titled "Oral History Initiative: On Frank O'Hara," the rest of which is just as entertaining.
John Ashbery reads a letter Frank O'Hara sent him about his poetry reading at the Living Theater in 1959. Gregory Corso makes a fool of himself and everyone grows furious with Jack Kerouac, "who, alas, was there."

David Wojnarowicz, House (from the Sex series), 1988-89.
From "Out of the Safety Zone," by Lucy Lippard, in Art in America Magazine's December 1st, 1990 issue:
The "Sex series" began with an accident in the darkroom Wojnarowicz inherited from Hujar, where he began to print many years' worth of his own old blanc-and-whit negatives. The eight 18-by21 ½-9nch photomontages are printed as negatives and usually consist of a principle image framed or punctuated by small circular insets, which Wojnarwowicz has related to surveillance photos, to suppressed information and to cells seen through a microscope Most of the circular cameos contain explicit homoerotic or occasionally heterosexual scenes. The reversal to negative suffuses them with a nocturnal glow and generates unexpected sources of light and energy, haloing heads, cocks, bony hands. The larger underlying images are often quite ordinary to begin with— a speeding train, a plane disgorging parachutes, a house next to a water tower— but they take on, through the inversion of light and dark, a menacing oneiric aura. Wojnarowicz has a formal, highly idiosyncratic camera eye, but the tonal reversal provides an eerie distance that makes these photographs look "appropriated" whether they are or not.

David Wojnarowicz, Untitled (Falling Buffalo), 1988-1989.
From an interview titled "IDOL WORSHIP: TALKING WITH DAVID WOJNAROWICZ," conducted in 1991 by Owen Keehnen. Read the rest here.
The anecdote about Macy's alligators seems to be pulled from the Thomas Pynchon novel V.
David Wojnarowicz: I started running away from home periodically for different lengths of time and ended up living on the streets sometime in my mid-teens. I came close to dying there. I was a walking skeleton and had no access to any kind of healthcare. I remember, at 17, trying everything I could in terms of city agencies and not being able to obtain health anywhere. Eventually I got off the streets when some guy picked me up in Times Square who let me live with him for a month in this cheap apartment in that area. He was an ex-con man. He worked as a counselor with fake degrees at a halfway house for ex-cons. He got tired of me being around because I was always stealing animals from pet shops and I turned his place into a zoo - giant African frogs and lizards and turtles. It was something I just always did as a kid. I used to steal alligators out of Macy's and let them go in Central Park Lake thinking they were going to eat ducks and survive. I didn't realize issues like winter.
From the essay "POSTCARDS FROM AMERICA X Rays from Hell," in David Wajnarowicz, Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration, 1991, which reads like a paranoid, dystopian fantasy - AMERICA as HELL - except every bit of it is Real and True:
A boxed cassette of someone's interview with me in which I talk about diagnosis and how it simply underlined what I knew already existed anyway. Not just the disease but the sense of death in the American landscape. How when I was out west this summer standing in the mountains of a small city in New Mexico I got a sudden and intense feeling of rage looking at those postcard-perfect slopes and clouds. For all I knew I was the only person for miles and all alone and I didn't trust that fucking mountain's serenity. I meant it was just bullshit. I didn't buy the con of nature's beauty; all I could see was death. The rest of my life is being unwound and seen through a frame of death. And my anger is more about this culture's refusal to deal with mortality. My rage is really about the fact that WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT I'D CONTRACTED THIS VIRUS IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG TO REALIZE THAT I'D CONTRACTED A DISEASED SOCIETY AS WELL.

The victims are the driver and passenger in a car rear-ended by a semi on US-127 Tuesday afternoon.
Several mid-Michigan facilities are among the worst polluters in the state. This, according to newly released data from the EPA.
The EPA collected the data as part of its Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. Basically, the EPA is identifying places that are the largest contributors to climate change. There are three power plants in the Lansing area that made the list.
Eckert Station, just off of Moore's River, ranks 12th in the state. In 2010 it produced 2.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. Coming in at 21st, is Erickson Station off Canal Road.The Lansing Board of Water and Light actually owns both of those plants.
The third power plant in the Lansing area that makes the list is on MSU's campus. It ranks number 25. 209 Michigan facilities reported greenhouse gas emissions for 2010.
The overall data shows in the United States shows power plants are responsible for the most greenhouse gases. Oil refineries make up a large part as well.
Though a Michigan Environmental lobbying group says people in the area shouldn't be concerned about the immediate affect of these findings.
"It's just a reminder that we are contributing to a global problem, and hopefully we can address it, but there is no direct impact from those potents, at that power plant," said James Clift, Michigan Environmental Council.
Some familiar names made the list in the Jackson area, including Gerdau. However, it's reported Carbon Dioxide emissions are substantially lower than the power plants in the Lansing area.

Spyke Totem waterproof boots, £250Miles covered/time: 17,000/one year What's good? So many waterproof boots fail on the second most important thing they are designed to be – waterproof.

In honor of April: The Month of the Military Child, staff at Sesame Workshop answered the call to "Purple Up" and wear purple to work today to show support for our nation's fantastic military kids!
Purple is the color that represents all branches of the military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, and Coast Guard.
Many of the walls at Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind Sesame Street, are big chalk boards. So it only makes sense that artists who work at Sesame Workshop turned them into huge murals of Elmo, Cookie Monster, and more. One of the artists talks about the process — and shows some more of his work — over on our blog.

The effectiveness of Search Engine Marketing appears to extend beyond the Internet, and the benefits that can be expressed through web analytics, as there is evidence it may impact in-store behaviour as well. According to the results of a GroupM Search and Compete survey, 93% of responding internet users perform an online search at some point during their shopping process, regardless of the purchase channel they plan to exercise.
Results also suggest that in most cases prospective shoppers do not have a specific brand in mind at the onset of the search process. This is evidenced by the fact that 73% of retail website visitors arrived through non-branded search terms. These "nonbranded" shoppers were also found to be 2.6 times more likely to click Organic Search results, than the average shopper.
It is evident that a business' website plays an important role in the shopping process, regardless of whether the shopper is making an in-store purchase or e-commerce transaction.

Schools should introduce students to the way Technology functions from the 1st year of their School experience.
Schools should introduce students to the way Technology functions from the 1st year of their School experience, because the world is running toward this area and if one doesn't know even the fundamentals of each and every Technological tool or service, he will certainly be lost in a dark "abyss", isolated from the real world.
How can we implement this idea to every country's schools all over the world?

Barry Palmer 100+Dec 12 2012: This may be more difficult in practice than in theory.
Technology is changing so quickly that the lessons of first grade would be obsolete by fourth grade.
Also, I am not sure it is necessary. Around here, first graders are teaching their grandparents how to use the latest gadgets. The designers target the youngsters because much of the new technology is bought for them as gifts, and they are the purchasers of tomorrow.
I agree that technology is a big part of today's world, but I am not so sure that technology lessons for young children will be effective and a good investment of their time.
Dec 12 2012: That is the reason for why students should be introduced to every technological means from the very beginning, Barry: in order to keep up with all the scientific and technological progress made every day. For example, learning to build up algorithms would be a first stage.
Moreover, I certainly agree with Faysal Khadim (in the bottom) in that "a person who doesn't feel comfortable with computers is simply illiterate". He will simply not be able to keep up with this new world.
The word technology derives from the ancient Greek words "Techni" which means art and "Logos" which is the clear statement or speech. In other words, Technology is the science of arts and in my opinion, if we make logical use of technology at schools and not only, nothing can stop us from being creative and making our life incredibly easier.

Words that Hurt poster for the UC Davis Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center. Displayed for Principles of Community week in the Memorial Union until March 14th, 2011.
(Source: zvz.ro#http, via luanaoprea)
A murder occurred in Oakland early Sunday morning. As of this posting, there is exactly one — count it — one, article about the incident in the media, at least as measured by Google News hits for Oakland murder.
37-year-old Brandy Martell was sitting behind the wheel of her car around 5:15 a.m. at when one or two men walked up and began a conversation. A witness told ABC7 the conversation was cordial, but then.. one of the men became angry and fired into the car right where Martell was sitting.
"When you don't provide a space in society for people who you think are the other or different, especially transgender women, especially transgender women of color, when you don't provide spaces for them to be in a safe environment or a safe space, whether it's socializing or services, this is what happens," Martell's friend Tiffany Woods told ABC7.
As Horace Boothryd's breaking diary yesterday noted, there was an email notice send out about the murder Sunday evening, with a damning claim about police inaction.Brandi, a transwoman, was murdered last night, shot at 12th and Franklin in Downtown Oakland after an altercation with a man who became enraged and shot her when he realized she was trans. An amazing #oo comrade tried to keep her alive with training learned from the People's Community Medics, but the cops walked away and the ambulance came too late.
If you are doubting whether this could possibly be true, I suggest you read Politicized 'Hate Crimes', the OPD and District Attorney O'Malley, and judge for yourself.
It is true that Oakland is a high-crime city, at least if you consider the data per capita. But Oakland is just not that populous, so that you might think that each of the some 110+ murders a year that occur within its boundaries would garner significant media attention. But as of five o'clock today Oakland's flagship newspaper, the Oakland Tribune, had absolutely nothing about a rather shocking crime that took place just a block from Frank Ogawa Plaza / Oscar Grant Park.
Think about what the newscape would look like if a well-heeled, white, Oakland citizen living on "the right side of the tracks" (or, in Oakland parlance, "the hills") had been the victim. Or consider that another murder that took place at almost the same location in November of 2011 while Occupy Oakland was camping in the Plaza rated world-wide headlines. I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine how many articles there were about broken windows in Oakland on November 2nd, 2011.
So this is how yet another (and another, and another and another) transgender woman dies; a victim simultaneously of hatred and a conspiracy of silence.

Part Three of my Vintage LGBTQ pics folder. And for the record, because I've seen people questioning the validity of a few of the pictures - I don't know. I saved them according to what I saw, so some of them MIGHT be reproductions, but most of them look pretty legit.
I was going to wait a bit to put part three out, but that still won't exhaust my folder, and I think I want to put them all out in time for LGBT History Month (which is this month….right?) so I'm going ahead and doing this. Part Four will happen sometime before Oct 31.

The final images from the Equip shoot Gemma and I did :) check out Equip
I bought this fabulous bunched up necklace in a store in Spain called Uterque, it has amazing accesories, for cheap. Like 40-100€ for really nice fancy crystaled rings and necklaces. Like this one I'm wearing in the foto! I can be styled with a simple black, wht or grey top, or which ever color you like, with leggings, or a dress or with jeans! Spice it up!
I recently shot an editorial for Drapper Magazine in Camden, London. The location van had the best collection of shoes & jewellery, I was in heaven!
Gem and I did a shoot for Equip a few weeks back!
It should be coming out for the Summer collection.
Here are a few pics of us in hair and make up and just playing around behind the scenes!

I hope you're keeping cool this summer. It's been so hot and sticky here in New York City. I'm counting down the days until the fall! I took a trip into JCREW the other day and I was very impressed with their latest fall collection. I became inspired and picked up a few things. The store is just wonderful for classic pieces. When dressing up or down the simplest thing to do is dress around a classic piece. You can always accessorize a classic piece of clothing to make it edgy, dressy, or even preppy. Throw on a vintage belt, chunky wedges or a special piece of jewellery and voila you've created something personal!
My look
Shorts- JCREW jean shorts
Studded Shoes- Loeffler Randal
Found this wicked vintage shop called 'Pippin' that sells all sorts of pins, watches, jewellery, bags, accessories,etc…for a very reasonable price, starting at $5 and up. . On 112 West 17th st cross street 6th ave. Nyc. Tel: 212-50…. I swear I was frolicking in the store, fascinated by the history behind each gem. CHECK IT OUT!!!

September is Nesting Month! (12 more project days to go)
Sharpening pencils, cleaning out the apartment, painting the bedroom walls, September is the time we all land at home once again and take stock of where we left things last May, when homemaking chores got ditched for outdoor barbeques and trips to the beach.

A series of stubborn injuries has forced two-time U.S. Olympian Ryan Hall to withdraw from the 2012 ING New York City Marathon.
Hall, 29, started the Olympic Marathon in London, but pain in his right hamstring led him to step off the course after about 11 miles. He had finished second in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in January even while battling plantar fasciitis.
"I was hoping that after some time off and treatment after the Games, the string of nagging injuries I've been dealing with this year would be behind me," Hall said. "After trying to run through, I came to the realization when keeping the big picture in mind, that I needed to take a longer break to let things heal and not rush the training."
The men's field in the ING New York City Marathon on November 4 includes Hall's Olympic Marathon teammates Abdi Abdirahman and Meb Keflezighi, the 2004 Olympic Marathon silver medalist who finished fourth in London. Other top American men include Jason Hartmann, Brett Gotcher, Nick Arciniaga, Scott Bauhs, Andrew Carlson, and Ryan Vail, with the field of top American women featuring 2012 Olympians Amy Hastings, Janet Bawcom, and Julie Culley.

will be one of three historic venues featured in the Milwaukee Film Festival this fall.
The 61-year-old Art Deco theater will join Landmark's Oriental and Downer Theatres as the official screening venues for the duration of the festival, which runs from September 27-October 11, 2012.
Executive & Artistic Director Jonathan Jackson and his Milwaukee Film staff and board have developed a new long term vision for the festival involving a tighter festival footprint and utilizing historic venues in neighborhoods with alluring food and shopping options accessible within walking distance.
The success of last year's inclusion of Landmark's Downer Theatre, and the continued growth of screenings at Landmark's Oriental Theatre only supported that. The addition of the Fox-Bay in 2012 is the next step toward completing this vision.
"We have a great luxury in our city to be able to show great films in unique historic theaters. And to extend that celebration to the neighborhoods these theaters have lived in for decades is what makes this festival uniquely Milwaukee's," Jackson explained.
Brian Henry, who co-owns the Fox-Bay with Katia Henry, agreed with Jackson.
"For us, this is a great opportunity to work with an organization as dedicated to their city as we are," he said. "We are excited for Whitefish Bay to experience the festival and hopefully draw new people into our neighborhood to see all the great things that surround us here on East Silver Spring Drive."
In addition to the venue changes, the 2012 Milwaukee Film Festival will run an additional four days, extending the duration from 11 to 15. It will also be bringing back daytime screenings on weekdays at the Oriental, allowing the potential to enjoy festival films virtually all day long for the entire run of the festival.
Milwaukee Film also designed a new logo this year. The logo was a collaboration between Milwaukee Film and Loneshoe Graphics designer Cathy Brautigam. Brautigam was also the designer for the 2011 Milwaukee Film Festival campaign.

Good stacker
By ANDREA
from MISSISSAUGA
I was hoping this very pretty ring would pass for the real thing but, as a stand-alone band, I feel others may have their doubts. It's not that it looks cheap in any way - a real version of this ring might leave similar doubts. I think it's just not "designer-looking" enough to look undoubtedbly like "money." Maybe if the scroll work had continued along the ring edges, it would have had enough design features to pass for real ... However, when I wear this strong sparkler with my real stuff as a stacker ring, it absolutely takes on a new and authentic aura. It's found its place in my jewellery repertoire so I'm keeping it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sterling Silver Band
By mspolarbear
from Edmonton
Ring is very nice. This is the first time that I have bought a ring that has stones all around the ring. I can't say that I will buy another one like this, has I find it uncomfortable. It does look good on my finger but once again I prefer to have a choice of purchasing this ring in smaller sizes because it would look much better as a pinky.

Sometimes He Calms His Child
Pattern can easily be adjusted to a car seat cover by reducing the number of border repeats. Cast on only 11 or 13 multiples of 8 stitches depending on your gauge.
Likewise, pattern could also easily be increased to crib size by increasing the length by several more repeats of the center pattern before following up with the ending border rows.
PLEASE NOTE - 100% of the proceeds from this pattern will be donated to the Nazarene Disaster Relief Fund in thanks to the hours they spent helping the people in Moore, Oklahoma following the tornado that occurred on May 20, 2013. These people perform amazing work.
Plus you get a recipe that will keep your family happy and hopefully give you more time to knit!!!

Well they took out the wealth tab on the website, but on my character's statistics tab it lists average gold earned per DAY at 313+, total gold looted 24k+, gold from quests is over 45k.
Total deaths in raids and dungeons is 2.4k+. At 10g a death (that's at 85, so we are WILDLY overestimating, but still) that puts us at 24k+g in repairs.
Which barely evens out to my total gold looted. THAT'S JUST THE LOOTED PART. That's not counting the 45k from quests. If you subtract my TOTAL gold acquired 324k+, minus my auction earnings (254K+), there is 75k remaining, close to my looted and quest gold together is.
So by my characters stats, repairs eat up less than a 1/3rd of all my "created" gold.
I could post the numbers for all of my many many alts, but they are all fairly comparable and fall within the same range. It leaves me with 45k to spend on mounts, skills, talent re-specs, and so on. Also, this only counts since Wrath, but I have been playing uninterrupted since Wrath, raiding everything throughout, so that counts all the painful learning of bosses, the 7 WEEKS worth of wipes on LK, and the months of blindingly frustrating cata dungeons and raids. Actually, when you stop to consider the lowered prices of mounts and riding speeds (one of the larger gold sinks in the game) it is entirely possible that Blizzard is intentionally de-valuing gold.
So yeah, there is a way to prove that.

Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro Reviews
I purchased this from the manufacturer at a guitar fair in Bradford ,Uk in 1996. It cost £1045 ($1567) new.
Its pretty expensive but worth every penny and more. If you want a really fine guitar that will last you a lifetime, you can do no better than a Patrick Eggle Berlin pro.Bob North rated this unit on 2003-08-11.
