I have been to numerous salons in my 16 years in Austin and this is by far my favorite. It is not a fancy salon but I get the best hair cut for a VERY reasonable price. It is a very family friendly and happy place of business. I have been going there for over 3 years and have had only had the greatest experience. I have and will continue to recommend Hair By Us.

Product Description
Product Description
1997's Come On Home was a critically acclaimed celebration of some of Boz Scaggs' favorite blues, New Orleans r& b and early rock and roll pioneers of which he wanted to pay homage. Friday Music is very honored to announce the first time 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl release of Boz Scaggs' Come On Home. Mastered impeccably from the original Virgin Records tapes by Joe Reagoso, this release is truly a musical feast for the heart and soul.This limited edition 2 LP set is also packaged in a stunning gatefold cover featuring hits like Sick And Tired, It All Went Down The Drain & Goodnight Louise.
Having sat most of the '80s out, Boz Scaggs returns in the mid-'90s as an urbane blues crooner, effectively bringing his music full circle from the sleek, disco-friendly pop of his '70s commercial zenith to the purer R&B of his late '60s debut. Come Home is a soulful valentine to the same models that informed that first outing, juxtaposing solid new originals against venerable songs from Jimmy Reed, Earl King Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Mitchell, and other blues and soul masters from Memphis, Texas, and Chicago. Scaggs, always a model of taste (who else could have produced disco hits that still sound stylish), juggles two blue-chip rhythm sections with strategic infusions of soulful brass, greasy organ, and Scaggs's own deep-fried guitar work sustaining the set's bluesy accents. --Sam Sutherland

Top Customer Reviews
While covers albums are often the ones most avoided by an artist's fans, when done right, the result seems worth all the trouble. COME ON HOME not only proves this beyond a doubt, but Boz also created 4 original songs written & recorded in the vintage style. Clearly, Boz loves this music so much, he can tailor his own songs to the old sounds flawlessly, and that is far from an easy thing to do. Of the originals, the Stax horns-driven "Picture Of A Broken Heart" & the closing Blue Note-jazz-styled ballad "Goodnight Louise" are the biggest highlights. You'd swear that these songs were outtakes from the old days, they're that authentic-sounding. "I've Got Your Love" is almost straight from the Hi Records vaults with Boz sounding close to Al Green at times (not to mention showing off his often-overlooked guitar abilities). "After Hours" is exactly as its title claims, a downhearted blues shuffle that is perfect for any smoky club. Best of all, Boz is one White singer that can pull off these kinds of songs without trying too hard to sound Black. Again, this is a gift only a select few White singers possess, with Boz among them.Read more ›
There is not a bad track in this collection.It heartfeltly honours the influences and artists,both singers and songwriters,that have shaped and directed the career of Boz Scaggs.
It is a tribute to that particularly American music form,born of jazz and blues,that is R&B,and Boz Scaggs delivers it masterfully.The project was a personal desire and goal,which he has admirably delivered here,so much so that he has eclipsed the excellence of *Some Change* and raised the *bar* a little higher for the future releases.
The choice of muscians and the production and arrangements are masterful,delivering an adult oriented and traditionally rich interpretation of some classic R&B standards,as well as a couple of originals,*Goodnight Louise*,*Picture Of A Broken Heart* and*Ive Got Your Love*.The latter receiving a tremendous treatment that makes it a standout,along with *Goodnight Louise*.
The Earl King Johnson,*It All Went Down The Drain*and the Porter/Hayes,*Your Good Thing(Is About To End)*warrant the purchase of the CD on their own.
I may have lost the faith throughout the 80s,but Boz is back with a vengence in the 90s,and that is a pleasing thing.Read more ›

Good-bye, Big Ben; hello, Ben Wallace
I have to keep reminding myself, this is a business.
No matter how attached I may become to a team, regardless of my emotional investment in a rivalry, and despite the invisible bond with a particular player, at the end of the day the world of professional sports is a business, and thus the primary goal is to make money.
With that said, I must reach deep within my soul and find a way to re-embrace Ben Wallace.
I know it's been a week now since he signed a one-year deal with the Pistons, and I've been trying to get over it, but it's hard. Three years ago he turned his back on Detroit. And only now, after he was rejected by Chicago, Cleveland and finally Phoenix does the prodigal son come home, beaten, battered and about $60 million richer.
"We feel like there are intangibles that he can bring that can really help this new group of Pistons," Pistons president Joe Dumars said. "We're happy."
I want to get there. Happy, that is. But first I have to finish mourning. No mo' 'fro. The bell tone has been silenced. Big Ben is officially dead. The guy spelling Kwame Brown, of all people, is going to be Ben Wallace and, well, a boa constrictor would have a hard time swallowing that pill.
It just wasn't supposed to be this way. Of all the players to suit up for Detroit this decade, Wallace was the one who epitomized the heart of the city the most. When he arrived in Detroit he was pretty much a nobody in the league: an unheralded basketball player who started off at a junior college, played D-II ball, wasn't drafted, spent time overseas and was considered expendable by a pair of NBA bottom-feeders before Dumars plucked him from the rubble. For a city that has long served as punch-line fodder for comedians, we all knew what it meant to come up the rough side of the mountain. But the mantra in the D is "We do come up," and we helped elevate Wallace into a perennial All-NBA center.
We helped make Big Ben.
The way Yankees fans helped make Donnie Baseball.
The way Packers fans helped make you-know-who.
I understand tough decisions need to be made, and that athletes might be celebrated like gods but are only human and thus prone to the same temptations as anyone else. Alex Rodriguez wasn't supposed to have taken anything. Marion Jones should have run a clean race. Brett Favre could have been a Packer for life. It seems that every day, human frailty in the sports world reminds us there is no Santa Claus, and while intellectually that is stating the obvious, it does little in terms of easing the sting of disappointment. Especially when the letdown is over money, and it seems like pro athletes already have plenty.
Certain likable athletes, such as Shaquille O'Neal, I can accept being a gun for hire. Others, like Wallace well, I just thought he was one of us. But I have to remember this is a business. And Wallace, like most professional athletes, is really one of him. That's not an indictment of Wallace as much as it is a thorny reminder that you shouldn't put your faith in people you don't know.
Ben Wallace arrived in Detroit in 2000.
Big Ben left in 2006.
And both those cats are strangers to me.
So by training camp, I'm sure I'll get over myself and learn to cheer Wallace again. He brings a lot of heart and experience to a team that, thanks to a busy offseason, is in need of both.
Will he be the force he once was? Of course not. Can he help? Sure. Will he play his way back into our hearts? Probably not. But then again, he really had no business being there in the first place.

Don't Go There: Santa Monica Pier Area Still Sucks for Swimming
Santa Monica Pier: Don't Swim There, Kids!
Remember when you first arrived in L.A. and people were always saying that you should not swim next to the Santa Monica Pier?
They told you that despite the beautiful waves and well-manicured beach, the water was dirty and you'll catch diseases, and you looked at them as if they were nuts. Remember that?
Well, according to Heal the Bay, all those people were absolutely right. Don't swim near the Santa Monica Pier!
Heal the Bay recently released a "2013 End of Summer Beach Report Card." The water quality actually improved this year at most Los Angeles County beaches, many of them receiving "A" and "B" grades. The Santa Monica Pier, though, got a lowly "D" grade.

So we'll say it once again, Don't Swim at the Santa Monica Pier!
Other beaches you should be wary of, according to Heal the Bay, is Surfrider-breach point (C grade), Malibu Pier (D grade), Long Beach City Beach-projection of
55th (D grade), Cabrillo Beach-harborside at boat launch (D grade), and Cabrillo Beach-harborside at restrooms (F grade).
The federal government, however, may cut funding for beach testing, Heal the Bay states, with serious consequences for the public.
"Without continued federal funding," Heal the Bay writes in its beach report, "bather health protection will be threatened as all states will likely be forced to scale back their beach programs."

Creating Buzz
[by Michael Clark]
Promoting yourself and your work is a never-ending task for any creative. Over the last twenty years as a freelance adventure sports photographer I have tried just about every promotional method under the sun. No matter what type of promotion you do, it all comes down to the work. If the images aren't knocking the art buyer's socks off then you have a tough road ahead. I firmly believe that top-end work will draw attention and clients if marketed well.
If you can create "buzz" among art buyers and photo editors about your work then you have done a great job both producing top-end work and promoting yourself. What is buzz? How do you craft it? Buzz is basically other people out there talking positively about you and your work. An example would be if an art buyer you have worked with recommends you to other art buyers and talks about how great you were to work with. Or, it might just be that everyone is talking about how great your images are and how you are one of the top people in your specialty. Creating buzz takes time both for you to consistently create stellar work, and also for a significant group of people to see it.
As for my own marketing efforts, for me it all starts with my website, which is the hub of all my marketing. I have a rather unique situation, due to an assortment of factors, in that I show up #1 on Google when you type in "Adventure Sports Photographer" or "Adventure Sports Photography." That alone brings in a lot of requests from a wide variety of clients and it also impacts how I market myself.
My website is home base to all of my marketing and shows up #1 for the search terms "Adventure Sports Photographer" or "Adventure Sports Photography."
In addition to the website, I have a blog (http://blog.michaelclarkphoto.com) where I can make announcements, show recent work, and also talk about equipment, workshops, prints, and other items that may be interesting to those that follow my work.
The blog helps those following my work stay connected with my latest images and all of the other things I do like workshops, fine art prints, equipment reviews, etc.
For the last twelve years or more, I have been creating the Michael Clark Photography Newsletter, which is a 30-40 page PDF magazine. This PDF newsletter is much more than a "newsletter" since it is a quarterly magazine that I send out to over 8,000 people. Of those 8,000 or so people, about 1,500 are art buyers and photo editors and the rest are folks who have asked to subscribe to the Newsletter. As you can see in the screenshots below, the Newsletter includes in-depth, behind-the-scenes articles about my recent assignments, editorials on a variety of topics, equipment reviews, and also news items that appeared on the blog and much more. The Newsletter is a very unique old-school marketing tool and it leaves quite an impression on art buyers even if they don't read it. For more on how I use the Newsletter as a marketing tool check out this interview with APhotoEditor.com. If you would like to subscribe to the Newsletter send me an email and I will add you to the list.
Above are a few sample covers and spreads from the Michael Clark Photography Newsletter. I have gone to great lengths to make the Newsletter not only interesting, but also informative and very nice to look at so that art buyers will at the very least thumb through it. Even if an art buyer doesn't read an article or anything at all in the Newsletter, they generally remember me because of the layout, the images and the effort that goes into it. I have had art buyers contact me and say, "I remember your Newsletter from ten years ago and thought about you for this new project we are working on."
[Side Note: The Newsletter is in large part responsible for my website showing up #1 on Google because all of the PDFs live on my website and are searchable by Google. Because these PDF Newsletters include a lot of text, they help boost my ranking pretty massively.]
Approximately every six weeks, I send out an e-promo to around 1,400 art buyers and photo editors using the e-promo tools offered by Agency Access. I also use Agency Access to create lists of clients that are appropriate for my work. In addition to the client lists I have built on Agency Access, which are mostly art buyers at ad agencies, I also have my own list of clients I have worked with or have had contact with. My e-promos usually have a link that goes to an extended web gallery of new work or to a blog post with a brief behind-the-scenes vignette of a recent assignment. I wait until I have new work that I am excited to share before sending out any e-promos, which sometimes means there are a few months between e-promos.
My e-promos are simple and allow art buyers and photo editors to see my recent work. Even if clients don't click the link in the e-promo they are still reminded of my work and myself.
I also promote myself and my work via social media channels including: Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Twitter, and Linked In. These days, and I know this strikes a cord for quite a few photographers, many photographers generate buzz about their work via Instagram. I have worked hard to build a large Instagram following and I still have a long ways to go. One of the key ways to build buzz around you and your work is to create a following that isn't just art buyers and photo editors. This is in large part the reason for marketing yourself on social media. If you have a million followers on any social media channel then you have a built-in way to advertise for your clients, which can be a bonus for those clients and also serve as another revenue stream.
Instagram is a huge part of my marketing these days. I have been asked to shoot Instagram only campaigns and I have been contacted for a variety of reasons because of my following on Instagram. There are a number of photographers that are doing very well because of their giant followings on Instagram. It takes time and effort to create a solid Instagram account, but if you want to continue to make a living in the future as a photographer then you need to be on Instagram.
Lastly, I meet with current and potential clients face-to-face as often as possible. In my experience, no other form of marketing beats an in-person meeting. Getting to know a client via a portfolio review or going out to lunch with them is a great way to get past the sales pitch and talk about real world possibilities. I always bring my print portfolio to meetings and I also bring a laptop or iPad to show some video if they want to see it.

That is about it for my marketing. I know I should also send out postcards and some more thoughtful and elaborate direct-mail pieces but I rarely get around to doing that. Just putting the Newsletter together is a huge effort and as my main marketing piece it has been incredibly successful.
Also, as a side note here, if you didn't see Chris Winton-Stahle's blog post entitled Knocking on Doors, I recommend reading that blog post as he covered a lot of ground and made some excellent points about marketing yourself.

Glastonbury Festival: tips for enjoying England's biggest musical festival
Shirley Bassey Glastonbury FestivalTwiggy_34CC SA 2.0
Location: Worthy Farm, Pilton, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, England
Dates: last weekend in June. 26-30 June 2013.
Level of participation: 3 - groove on down in wellie boots
Welcome to Glasto. The colossal summer knees-up in King Arthur country is the world's biggest and best music festival. It's like Woodstock, except it takes place pretty much every year. The list of performers who have rocked the venue's muddy fields reads like a who's who of popular music: Dylan, Bowie, Oasis, Blur, Massive Attack, Orbital, Björk, Radiohead, The Cure.
And what a place to play. More than 175,000 revellers descend on 900 acres of farmland, bringing tents, 3L bottles of local West Country cider and, if it's one of the 'muddy years', Wellington boots. As if following the local ley line, the atmosphere courses along the tree-lined tracks; often with more direction than festival-goers navigating both altered states of consciousness and the route to that amazing noodle van.
Much of the entertainment has nothing to do with the headline acts on the Pyramid Stage, which is the epicentre of a busy area nicknamed 'Babylon' by old hands. At the other end of the site, beyond the Jazzworld Stage, the circus and the tipi field, the Sacred Space is a focus for the spiritual, pagan aspects of the post-summer solstice event. Watching the sun rise above the stone circle in the hillside meadow is the perfect comedown from a night of electronica-powered crazy-dancing in the Dance Area or the Glade.
Nearby, Lost Vagueness is a theatrical alternate reality, where you can join a mass marriage in the Chapel of Love or Loathe, before hiring a ball gown or period suit so you look the part in the Lost Luck Casino and Slip Roller Disco. This quarter of Glastoville also contains the green areas. Unlike many large gatherings, the festival has environmentalism high on its agenda - not least because the site serves as a dairy farm for the rest of the year.
If you won't let anything as trifling as a roller disco drag you away from your beloved music, Glastonbury might make you feel like a pilgrim arriving at a temple. By catapulting scores of bands to fame, it has shaped 35 years of musical history. One such band is The Smiths, booked in 1984 on the recommendation of the late, great DJ John Peel, who now lends his name to the new bands' stage.
Critics accused organiser Michael Eavis, now a CBE (Commander of the British Empire), of selling out when he recruited the Mean Fiddler group to help in 2002. Certainly, the tightened security has altered the tone: tickets now bear holders' faces. Offerings like the Paradise Lost Trailer Park, which has a butler service and Can Can dancers, are a far cry from the festival's uncommercial, rural roots. But Glastonbury had to evolve. It was in danger of imploding, in the manner of the old Isle of Wight Festival, and anyway, the hippies who used to jump the fence have found a new way in as stall-holders.
Local attractions: can't deal with consensus reality after a long weekend at Worthy Farm? Climb Glastonbury Tor for a 360° view and yet more King Arthur associations.

Took a two-and-a-half minute video of the sun setting, to see how well the P300's video continuous focus works. See the results below.
The bottom line is that it works well, as long as it has something to focus on.
At 1:20 into the clip it gets too dark and there's nothing in the frame for the focus to lock on, so it's a blur until 2:00, when the sun was almost gone and I zoomed out to let some people into the frame.
Another thing to notice is that the zooming of the lens can't be heard in the video. You can hear a click or two of my fiddling with the camera buttons, but other than that it's all wind and waves (so if you're looking for a camera with a good wind-cut function, keep looking).
In general, this is not a bad result for the P300's video continuous autofocus, as much as it is a lesson on how to shoot videos. You must always make sure you have enough contrasty elements in your frame. Objects with edges, distinct colors, something to help your camera focus.

Know some twins, or expecting to? This twinspired collection pairs poems and pictures in a lighthearted salute to the many twins among us.
Old twins, new twins, famous twins, not-at-all-alike twins, side-byside twins, let's play twins, not-yet twins, mirror twins all kinds of twins come together in a collection of original poems by two of our most celebrated authors for young people: J. Patrick Lewis and Jane Yolen. From a wave and a wink to a twin switcheroo, from a rocket to the moon to the old woman who lived in a shoe, these poems and mini facts, whimsically illustrated by Sophie Blackall, will leave even singletons with a twinkle in their eyes. Here is the perfect book to share with the twins in your life and everyone who loves them.
About the Author
J. Patrick Lewis has authored more than fifty books of poetry for children. In 2011, he was named the Children s Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation and was given the NCTE Excellence in Children's Poetry Award. He lives in Westerville, Ohio.Visit his website at www.jpatricklewis.com.
Jane has been called the Hans Christian Andersen of America and the Aesop of the twentieth century. She sets the highest standard for the industry, not only in the meaningful body of work she has created, but also in her support of fellow authors and artists. Her books range from the bestselling How Do Dinosaurs series to the Caldecott winning Owl Moon to popular novels such as The Devil s Arithmetic, Snow in Summer, and The Young Merlin Trilogy, to award-winning books of poetry such as Grumbles from the Forest, and A Mirror to Nature. In all, she has written over 335 books (she s lost count), won numerous awards (one even set her good coat on fire), and has been given six honorary doctorates in literature.

Sophie Blackall is an Australian illustrator whose previous books include "Ruby's Wish" and "Meet Wild Boars". She also illustrates the Ivy & Bean series.Sophie lives in Brooklyn, New York and can be visited at sophieblackall.com.
Praise For…
We are not supposed to judge a book by its cover. But in this case, let's do just that. The cover of the new poetry collection TAKE TWO!, with its twin toddlers bending upside down, polka-dotted tushies in the air, is quite possibly the cutest one to have crossed my desk in the run-up to spring. And since spring is baby season, at least for much of the animal kingdom, it seems an appropriate moment for this "Celebration of Twins" as the authors — J. Patrick Lewis and Jane Yolen, both accomplished poets — subtitle it…With its cheerily sweet and inventively varied illustrations by Sophie Blackall, TAKE TWO! has both a contemporary and a pleasingly timeless feel.
—The New York Times
This playful collection of twin-themed poems, a welcome addition to the bookshelf on the subject of twins, is as much for parents as for kids.

Oct. 31, 2012
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The Virginia men's soccer team concludes its regular season at 7 p.m. Thursday when it travels to NC State for an ACC contest at Dail Soccer Field.
Live Coverage
A live webcast will be available via ESPN3. Live statistics also can be found at VirginiaSports.com.
Virginia: 8-6-2 (ACC: 2-4-1/7 points)
NC State: 10-8-0 (ACC: 1-6-0/3 points)
Series History
Virginia maintains a 45-17-7 advantage in its series with NC State and is 8-1-1 in its last 10 matches against the Wolfpack, dating to 2004. UVa won 4-1 last year in Charlottesville, extending its home win streak over NC State to 16 matches since 1980.
The Wolfpack downed UVa, 2-0, on Nov. 6, 2010, in the teams' last meeting in Raleigh; that snapped an eight-game UVa unbeaten streak in the series.
Postseason Implications
Virginia will play on the road to start the ACC Tournament, but its destination will be determined after the Thursday ACC action. UVa currently sits in seventh place and will play at North Carolina, Boston College or Wake Forest at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
With a loss Thursday the Cavaliers would clinch the No. 7 seed and play at North Carolina Tuesday. NC State has clinched a No. 8 or No. 9 seed and will play Virginia Tech Monday in the tournament's first round.
Cavaliers Rank 15th in Latest NCAA RPI
Virginia is ranked No. 15 nationally in the latest edition of the NCAA's Ratings Percentage Index. The Cavaliers have played three of the top five teams in the RPI - Maryland (2), UCLA (3) and Georgetown (5) - and 10 of the top 40 (out of 16 matches).
Virginia Bullet Points
The Cavaliers have clinched a .500 or better record for the 32nd consecutive season.
Virginia's 17 opponents have combined for a 151-81-38 record (.630) this season.
Twelve of Virginia's 16 matches have been decided by one goal or a tie.
UVa goalkeeper Spencer LaCivita is a native of Raleigh and attended Millbrook High School.
Will Bates ranks second in the ACC and 27th nationally in goals with 10.
Bates has 44 career goals, which ranks seventh in program history. He also owns 100 career points, 10th most in UVa history.
Last Time Out: Virginia 0, No. 22 Boston College 0
Virginia played No. 22 Boston College to a scoreless draw last Friday at Newton Campus Field in Newton, Mass.
LaCivita made a pair of saves to record his fourth shutout of the year. With his 11th career shutout, LaCivita moved into an eighth-place tie with Keith Lenert (1982-85) and Michael Giallombardo (2006-08) on the all-time Virginia shutouts chart.
Virginia took a dozen shots, while Boston College was credited with nine. UVa held a 6-2 edge in corner kicks. BC committed 16 fouls, while the Cavaliers were called for 15.
Scouting NC State
NC State downed VMI, 3-2, Monday in Raleigh for its 10th win of the year. The Wolfpack built a 3-0 lead in the first half, then held off the charging Keydets in the second half to secure the win. NC State played No. 4 North Carolina tough last Friday in Raleigh before succumbing, 2-0.
Alex Martinez ranks second in the ACC in goals (10) and points (28) and is tied for the conference lead in assists (8).
Up Next
Virginia will await its destination for the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament, pending the results of the Thursday matches. The ACC semifinals and championship will be played Nov. 9 and 11 at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Germantown, Md.

Growing Gnome
This first Beta brings developers another step closer to the scheduled release of Gnome version 2.26 in March.
The release of the Beta desktop was announced on the Gnome mailing list, along with an appeal for users to test it, hack it, document it and of course, fix it. Version 2.25.90 has been frozen, which means no changes to the user interface can be made, or new features added, without the approval of developers. Language additions can be posted to the documentation and localization lists.
Among the supposed new features of Gnome 2.26 is a Pulseaudio mixer, an improved Power Manager, an encoder plug-in for Pidgin/Telepathy (planned), revamped artwork and Evolution modifications.
The build utility GARNOME helps with the compilation, and the project has divided the source into its different component groups like, for example, Platform, Desktop or Admin. Gnome Beta can be downloaded and tested by clicking on the links in the email announcement.

I have to tell you, I couldn't name even one of the big summer movies coming out, and I'm sure that comes as bad news to all the actors and actresses out there.
These new movies are all about special effects and all that junk. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
And it isn't just the science fiction movies. I'm not a fan of the sappy dramas, either. I don't go to the movies to be touched. I go so I can come out thinking that there are people out there more messed up than me.
I'm talking about the goofy movies. As far as I'm concerned, nothing is better than the three "American Pie" movies.
You never see the casts of those movies on TV, talking about how they "became the character" and how making the movie "was real hard work." Work? Please. It's hard to hear people talk about their "work" when they're getting paid $20 million for a couple of months of "work."
When I drive up to Bristol on Sundays to do "Baseball Tonight," I tell my son I'm going to work. What else am I supposed to tell him? But when I say it, I feel like an idiot. I'm going to sit around with a bunch of guys and talk baseball. It's more like being at a bar than going to work.
Getting back to all you actors out there: You're not going to work. You want to know why? I don't know anybody who gets a do-over at "work."
There's no "cut, let's do that take again" at any office I know about. Same thing for sports. I'm sure there are plenty of pitchers in the majors who wouldn't mind a do-over now and again.
What about Martha Stewart? Or Enron? I bet those guys would take a mulligan if they could.
I'm not trying to kill all the entertainers out there. It's a pretty good job, and a great living. I know they have to study and do a lot or preparation for some of their roles, but there certainly isn't the same amount of pressure that the rest of the world feels.
You want to see a real movie? Watch one where they film the movie being made. Not just the funny outtakes that they show during the credits sometimes. Show the bad and the ugly, too, and let people watch it live. I'd love to see how Keanu Reeves would react if 20,000 people booed him when he messed up his lines.
That would give these people a little perspective on what work is.
I did the movie "The Fan" with Wesley Snipes back in 1996; and I'll tell you, these guys can act. But under pressure? Forget it.
There was one scene where Snipes was up at the plate, and I was on deck. To make it look real, the director had about 5,000-to-10,000 people in the stands. So Snipes is at the plate, and I notice his leg is shaking.
The director yells "Cut!" for whatever reason, and I went up to Snipes to see what was up. He tells me he's nervous. He's never done anything in front of this many people.
I tell him this is nothing. In any season, you have crowds five times this big watching you. Still, he tells me there's no way he could ever do it.
Yeah, well there's no way I could be an actor. I could never sit around for months and do nothing.
Here's one more reason why making movies isn't half of what actors say it is. Let's go back to "American Pie." With the exception of Tara Reid, they took a bunch of minor league actors no one had heard of and made a hit. You could never do that in sports.
Every year, someone in the media asks if the No. 1 college team in the country could beat a team like the Chargers. Here's your answer: No. Never. That goes for every sport. You can't take a bunch of no-names and play at the highest level. It's impossible.
So next time an actor wants to come on TV to talk about how he's saving the world by making a movie, maybe he should just stay in his trailer, instead.
It's not a happy time in Marlin Land.
What's wrong? Well, what isn't wrong? Where should we start?
Let's go with Josh Beckett and A.J. Burnett complaining about management.
Beckett got put on the DL for a blister he has on his hand. Needless to say, Josh wasn't happy. That was pretty evident when he said, "Now I have to spend two weeks with some jackass trainer."
Now, I don't think a team should air its dirty laundry in public, but I have to respect Josh for speaking up like that. After all, this blister problem isn't something new. He had the problem last year. After his starts, he would put this lotion on it; and by the time he started again, he was fine. So Josh's issue is this: Why not wait a while before putting him on the DL?
Well, Josh, that's a pretty good question.
If I were Josh, I wouldn't even complain about a stomach ache in the future.
As far as A.J. Burnett goes -- he was pretty ticked off that he couldn't come off the DL in Florida.
Jack McKeon thought he'd be too pumped up to make a home debut. Thought he might hurt his arm again. So instead, A.J. came back againt the Mets in New York Thursday night.
That sent A.J. over the edge. He ripped the GM and McKeon. According to him, no one from the team asked him what he thought, and no one came to watch him pitch in the minors, anyway. So how do they know what's going on?
Sounds like the world champions' clubhouse is a fun place to be right now.
OK, so a couple pitchers are ticked off. That's nothing new. But what happened last week with their catching situation is just inexcusable.
Ramon Castro went into a game knowing he had a bad toe. Hell, the team knew he had a bad toe. Anyway, he tried to make a go of it and he couldn't do it. He's out. Well, their backup had a bruised forearm. So who do they go with? Mike Mordecai! Are you kidding me? It's hard enough on a pitcher to throw to the backup guy, but Mordecai? Brad Penny couldn't have been too pleased with that one. He gave up a couple runs that night that I'm sure he was thinking about after the game.
First off, let me say I have nothing against Mike Mordecai. There's a reason this guy has been in the league for so long -- he's asked to do something for the team and he does it. No questions asked.
But this shouldn'e even be an issue. Everywhere I've played ball, a catcher who gets hurt goes on the DL right away. Why? Because you can never get caught without a catcher.
Castro is on the DL now, but it's a little late for that. Add that to the Beckett situation and you have all sorts of guys in the clubhouse shaking their heads.
The whole deal was a bad move by management.
As far as calling someone up, yeah, I know their Class Triple-A team is in Calgary, but you still have to think ahead. And while you're at it, try moving your Triple-A team a little closer to Florida. Is there a farther place from Miami than Calgary? Why don't they just put the team in Japan?
Are things unraveling with the Marlins? No. They still have great pitching, speed and hitting -- but things like this can add up. After a while, some guys will reach a breaking point and they'll start questioning the front office. If they do it in the media? Look out. Now everyone isn't just second-guessing things, but they're looking for things to rip apart.
I'm telling you, things like this can snowball. McKeon and Co. need to nip this in the bud.
Come out and say you messed up. Tell the team, the media.
I don't care what they do, but I'll tell you one thing: You never get caught without a catcher. Ever.
There's something to be said about the way Atlanta is playing this year. I know they're only hovering around .500, but look at what they lost in their lineup.
For starters, they lost Javy Lopez, Vinny Castilla and Gary Sheffield in the offseason. Now Chipper Jones is down with a hamstring again and Adam LaRoche is out for a while with a bad shoulder. Marcus Giles hasn't been playing for a while. Not to mention the veteran leadership Greg Maddux brings to a team.
That's over 100 homers from last season that aren't in the lineup now. You take three of the first four hitters out of a lineup and most teams are done.
When I say done, I don't mean they will only be OK. I mean call up the minor leaguers to get a look at them, because this season is over.
Take any team in the NL East and see what would happen. If Florida lost Juan Pierre, Mike Lowell and Miguel Cabrera, how good would the Marlins be? Or how about another .500 team. How would the Mets be without Mike Piazza, Cliff Floyd and Kaz Matsui? Forget it. It's over.
Anyone who thought Bobby Cox was just a lucky manager who got some great players to work with better step back and take another look. He's one of the best in the game and one of the best ever. You don't keep your team at this level for this long by being lucky.
I was talking to Cox last week, and he said he's more proud of this team than any other team he's had. These guys go out there knowing there are two options -- winning and losing, and one of those is just not acceptable.
These guys are winners. When they put that uniform on, they expect to win. It doesn't matter what their lineup is. That's what this team is made up of. Guys like Nick Green, who had two huge homers for them last week. Who's Nick Green? Exactly. It doesn't matter to these guys.
No, I'm not going to pick them to win it all just because of their attitude. But when you see a team pull together like this? Man, I have the ultimate respect for them.

* there doesn't appear to be a means of reloading a controlled vocabulary through the Fez interface. I was hoping that we'd be able to reload a full file and have any changed headings updated. But apparently not. Duplicates ensure. I thought the "XPATH of internal parentID" config option would help here, but it appears not.
* since we can't reload a CV as above, my next move was to investigate whether it is possible to delete a CV and then reload the whole (updated) thing. Unfortunately, this isn't possible either, at least through the Fez interface.
On the positive side, with Lynette Rayle's help, I've figured out how to load hierarchical CVs. Will add this to the wiki in the next day or so.

Program/Project Management
Federal contractors must now comply with affirmative-action benchmarks for hiring veterans and people with disabilities, after a legal bid failed to block one of the rules.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan rejected on Friday (March 21) a challenge by the Associated Builders and Contractors Inc. to block the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs from implementing its Final Rule to Improve Job Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities, which was announced Aug. 27, 2013.
The new rule establishes a nationwide 7 percent hiring goal for qualified individuals with disabilities. That applies to each job group in a company with more than 100 employees, or to the entire workforce for companies with 100 or fewer employees.
Sullivan's ruling cleared the way for that rule, and a similar measure regarding the hiring of veterans, to take effect Monday (March 24).
Goals for Disabled and Veterans
The disability hiring rule updates requirements under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
The rule, for federal contractors and subcontractors, establishes a nationwide 7 percent hiring goal for qualified individuals with disabilities. The goal applies to each job group in a company with more than 100 employees, or to the entire workforce for companies with 100 or fewer employees.
The disability hiring rule was released with a companion Final Rule to Improve Job Opportunities for Protected Veterans.
A new federal rule requires federal contractors and subcontractors to establish "annual hiring benchmarks for protected veterans," using one of several methods.
That rule, which updates requirements of the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVVRA), requires federal contractors and subcontractors to establish "annual hiring benchmarks for protected veterans," using one of several methods described in the rule.
'Oppressive Measures'
The contracting industry opposed both rules from the start. When the measures were issued, the Associated General Contractors of America called them "oppressive employment regulations" that would force federal contractors to spend about $6 billion annually to document actions they were already taking.
The eventual ABC legal challenge, filed in November, applied only to the disability rule. The complaint said that unlike the original statute governing hiring of veterans, the 1973 Rehabilitation Act does not require contractors to collect and report hiring and employment data.
Therefore, the contractors said, the rule exceeded the agency's statutory authority.
ABC challenged the hiring goals for individuals with disabilities in federal court, contending that construction employment is "uniquely fluid and temporary" and the work "uniquely physical and hazardous."
ABC, which represents 19,000 open-shop construction industry firms, also contended that meeting the hiring goals would be difficult, because much of the construction workforce is "uniquely fluid and temporary" and the industry's work is "uniquely physical and hazardous."
The group also said there was "no evidence" that "significant numbers of government contractors in the construction industry" have failed to meet their Section 503 hiring obligations.
'More Than a Paperwork Exercise'
In his 42-page Memorandum Opinion, Sullivan said that the new rule fell well within the authority of Section 503 regulations that require "every Government contractor that has 50 or more employees and a contract of $50,000 or more" to "prepare and maintain an affirmative action program."
In addition, the judge noted, Executive Order 11246 established equal-opportunity employment guidelines for federal contractors and subcontractors back in the 1960s.
Sullivan noted that the new rule arose when OFCCP continued to see disparities in hiring qualified individuals with disabilities two generations after the other measures were in place.
Rajiv Shah is a computer specialist with the U.S. State Department. Federal authorities say that longstanding laws have not created enough hiring opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
When the agency sought input on correcting this disparity, commenters said that the federal effort on behalf of people with disabilities was "largely meaningless" and required both firmer goals and more teeth—in short, the same efforts made on behalf of women and minorities, the judge said.
"The Rule clarifies that affirmative action 'is more than a paperwork exercise,'" the judge wrote.
Compliance Assistance
Two days before Sullivan's ruling was issued, ABC posted an announcement on its site, saying the rules would "drastically alter federal contractors' existing affirmative action nondiscrimination obligations with respect to veterans and individuals with disabilities."
The association promoted a webinar and a guidance document regarding compliance assistance, but neither was available Wednesday (March 26) on the website.
ABC did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment or clarification.
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs offers resources and compliance assistance on the new rules, including an FAQ on the Federal Contractor Program.

CNET: Five reasons not to buy an iPod
"For the past year, the media has been clamoring about iPod killers on the horizon—new MP3 players with more features, longer battery life, and designs nearly as svelte as the iPod's. However, this oversimplifies the situation; in truth, while the iPod rocks, it's not now, nor has it ever been, perfect for everyone.
We too have run our fair share of iPod-centric headlines—for a good reason. With about 1.5 million units sold, the iPod is the most popular MP3 player in the world, and it still makes other players look and feel inelegant in comparison. Don't get me wrong; it's still our favorite overall MP3 player. Although everyone can think of reasons why they want an iPod, I've decided to use this column to list a few reasons why not to buy one."

Skywatchers in Western Australia will have to cross their fingers on Tuesday afternoon as cloud is expected to obscure the first solar eclipse of 2014.
In Perth, the celestial event will start shortly after 1pm, peaking at 2.42pm before ending close to 4pm, however Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Richard Rattley said the forecast was not promising.

LIVE: solar eclipse over Australia
Partial eclipse of sun as seen from Sydney Observatory, starting at 4.14pm AEST. The eclipse will reach its peak at 5.15pm, two minutes before the sun sets.
"You would have to cross your fingers," he said.
"We're expecting cloudy periods throughout the day, broken cloud with sunny patches.
"Now if we get one of those sunny patches at the right time that's fine, but I wouldn't say the conditions are ideal for the eclipse but you can't order everything.
Astronomy Education Services' Richard Tonello said the ideal place to view the eclipse would be Antarctica, with a direct line of site to the eclipse granting viewers a "ring of fire" in the skies.
"For the rest of us, we'll actually see a partial eclipse because we're not in that direct line of sight," Mr Tonello said.
"From Perth, the moon will cover up 49 per cent of the sun's face."
"This type of eclipse is known as an annular eclipse, meaning the sun, the moon and the Earth are in a perfect line and the moon obscures the disc of the sun, but not completely.
"This is because the moon has an oval-shaped orbit and will be further away from the Earth, leaving a tiny ring, known as an annulus.
Experts warn that gazing at the sun is dangerous, whether there is an eclipse or not.
"The cheapest and safest way to look at it is through a simple pinhole camera – two pieces of card, one with a small pinhole in it and you can actually project the sun onto the second piece of card," Mr Tonello said.
For those wanting to get a little more hands-on, 'guerilla astronomers' from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research will be in Forrest Place from 12.30pm.
"We'll have some small telescopes out with special filters on the end which block out the harmful UV and most of the light so peeple won't damage their eyes," said outreach and education officer Kirsten Gottschalk.
"Eclipses don't happen very often and it's also very rare that they happen in the middle of the day so we think it's a really good opportunity to get out there for people to get out there and think about what's in the sky above them."
The next total solar eclipse is expected to dim Perth skies in 2068, but it's a much shorter wait for the next partial solar eclipse, which will occur in March 2016.
