Business doubled for graphic designers when the Internet mushroomed in the late 90s. Gradually, over the next ten years, competition doubled. Within a bad economy, business has fallen for almost everyone. As an entrepreneur, I am used to the economic rollercoaster. Equipped with both coping and promotional techniques, I feel lucky not to be starting a career today! To keep a momentum is easier than to start one!
An entrepreneur is always looking for new work. It is a way of life. Now I am concerned not only about my business, but for industry health. Those of us with work are not operating at capacity. And many are out of work, forced to take related jobs. Kids out of college are having a very hard time breaking in.
Most of us put on public faces of prosperity because we want to appear successful. Success attracts success. Actually, I don't like anyone to know the specifics of my business; I keep economics and client projects confidential.* My ears are open to trends and challenges—and today I observe many struggling professionals because we cluster and share experiences.
Some of us are better at stepping up to competition than others. It is a skill that can often mean business survival or inspire career-shifting. Not born thick-skinned, the brutality of direct competition doesn't attract me. So I compensate and have found more effective techniques:
Handle Competition
1. Ignore. There is a time and place where denial is useful. I avoid direct confrontation with competition. I have participated in and observed bidding wars, contests, and the results of speculative work. It is not a good use of time. No one is ever happy with the outcome. When I find these opportunities, I criticize the process. Clients generally hire the firm or employee that has rapport—they usually know who they want. A designer has a political standing in every engagement. An early red flag for a time-wasting situation is to be compared with unknown competitors, which is now often the case. Blind proposals achieve little. To write a good project plan takes knowing more about the client and must be preceded by a face-to-face meeting. Rapport and portfolio matter more than budget, which can be negotiated. Judge prospects by how they judge you. Get response about your portfolio. Discover their reasons for asking you and meet about parameters.
2. Know what competition is doing. Although I avoid competition, I keep my ear to the ground to industry trends. With a wide social circle of creative professionals from writers to photographers to designers to entrepreneurs to executives, I gather information from everyone. Reading articles and blogs that reflect challenges could alone be a full time job! Convergences include technological advances, slow economy, and a flood of hungry professionals.
3. Differentiate. This is the most important thing I've learned to do. Clients who hire me need a brevity of content and a creative presentation. Of the promotional campaigns that I've done for my business, these have been my most successful:
a. 8 Concerns of Design. Resonating with readers and viewers, I have used this as the theme for my design practice. Written by the clients themselves, I have eight case studies that explore these fundamental principles. Prospects can compare with their own concerns.
b. Digital Design Business Practices, three editions, planted me as an expert in the industry. A ten year project, the book collected contributions from 700 sources and was ratified by a dozen industry associations. Speaking at design and printing conferences around the country adds spice to my otherwise rather solitary work.
c. Fortune 501. This was a direct mail brochure that was composed of a fortune cookie recipe and 501 quotations for inside sayings. Recipients loved the quotations and kept the illustrated piece on their desks for years.
4. Play to strengths. Differentiation that uses your strengths support initiatives that will be successful. When I evaluate my list of successes, they always:
a. lead with a striking visual
b. encompass a philosophic and/or symbolic viewpoint
c. are useful beyond initial viewing
d. blend conceptual, editing, and visual skills
e. provide an original approach
5. Write about industry best practices. Writing is good for any professional. I don't advise writing a book unless it comes from deep within your DNA. (Writing a book is more about promoting the book than it is about writing it.) But writing articles, interviewing those you respect, investigating issues, keeping a blog, all increase professionalism as they raise visibility.
6. Stay in selling-mode. Designers tend to promote in spurts—when they need work. Generally too busy to self-promote, prospecting for new business is best done when busy! Spurt-promotion contributes to the feast or famine cycle. So the best way is to save money when busy and prepare materials. When business slows, be ready to jump with a new campaign.
7. Believe in self and abilities. Whatever the business challenge, mistakes don't shake my overall confidence though they are humbling. Perhaps this is easiest when you have some awards and accolades under your belt, but I know that I have a unique perspective and uncanny ability to anticipate trends. A curious generalist, I have a wealth of horizontal business knowledge to cross-fertilize concepts. Working for clients in sixteen business sectors inspires me to walk into new offices.
8. Stay connected. Most general networking is a waste of time. It is better to approach those you want to talk to, generally found through strategic participation. I like to approach organizations that look like they need my help. Unfortunately, most of them present the way they do for a reason; evangelistic selling is very risky. So most of my best work comes from organizations with okay design and need to grow it to the next level of effectiveness.
Focus and being known for strength forms the strategy for building visibility. Yet at the same time, diversification of income sources can help even out the roller coaster of competition. Within publishing, I feel the more skills I have, the more valuable my contribution. The mix gives the best differentiation to withstand the pressures and stresses of facing the marketplace. Hopefully these ideas will help you withstand your own challenges for turning prospects into customers.
* Most of the work that I do must not be public until the client makes it so. My bank account goes up and down quickly. Projects generally take from three to twelve months and overlap.

The Elite Sports Gi comes in a variety of colors. I have not had a Black Gi in awhile and wanted one so this was my first choice. Steven Parsons already reviewed the look of the White/Blue gi previously. The Black Gi stuck out because of the purple accents in the stitching and lapels, and as a purple belt it was differently going to catch my attention. The Gi comes Pre-Shrunk so I wasnt worried about washing it before its first use which wasn't a bad thought pattern. After the first training session I knew immediately this would become a great competition gi. The gi fits very well, I am 5ft 11.5 inches tall and currently 180lbs and the A2 fits extremely well. It is light enough to breather and move which is something I look for in a good competition gi. Since it is IBJJF approved it makes even better sense.
I like to use heavier gi's for day-to-day training, helps keep the lbs down.
After a training session I washed and Air Dried the Gi like I do all my Gi and see how it fit after. The Pre-Shrunk Fabric is as good advertised. No need to worry about size after being too small or too big. The Gi comes with a Free White Belt which I will past on to hopefully a new student. Priced at just $79.99 that is a great deal. The only other gi at that affordable price is produced by Fuji and their Gi's are a lot heavier, which I don't mind for training purposes, but not for competition.
If you are looking for a great affordable Gi I would highly suggest the Elite Sports Gi. Check them out on Amazon or at Elite Sports.com

IF I was still a Celtic player I'd think this isn't just about winning. It's about smashing Rangers all over Hampden.
I'm not talking about kicking people. It's about proving you are the top dogs, showing you are miles better and that there is a huge gulf between the teams.
As the game has got closer, talk has increased of a tight contest.
More than one individual has been calling it a 50-50 game. I just don't see that.
It will only be a 50-50 game if Celtic don't turn up. If they give one of their better performances they should wipe the floor with Rangers.
That should be burning motivation for the Celtic players, who have had a week of people telling them that a team from a league below are every bit as good as them and ready to beat them.
The big questions for the Celtic fans are who should do the job and how should they go about it?
Four of the back five pick themselves. Craig Gordon is the No.1, Kieran Tierney and Mikael Lustig are the full-backs and I'd have Charlie Mulgrew at centre-back.
He's composed, calm and also gives left-sided balance.
Beside him, I'd go for Dedryck Boyata. He has a mistake in him but he's also got pace which is an asset on a big pitch such as Hampden.
Erik Sviatchenko gets dragged around too much and Boyata's a better bet so long as he doesn't try to pass from the back.
Nit Bitton and Scott Brown are certs for holding midfield roles. And Leigh Griffiths must go in attack – where he will look to get at Danny Wilson and Rob Kiernan and can kill them for pace – so it's about the three in behind.
Patrick Roberts will start, surely. He's a talent but needs to be less predictable. Lee Wallace has been Rangers' best player this season and is experienced, clever and strong.
Roberts is full of tricks and has talent but he always drives inside and needs to set Wallace up by going outside him a couple of times.
That's a key battle and it's the same on the other side. James Tavernier has done really well in the Championship but he's never been properly tested defensively. Wide players haven't got at him. With respect, he ended up in the
Championship for a reason.
Celtic have a problem on the left. I don't see Gary Mackay-Steven as a real big-game player but you want someone who is quick and can go at the Rangers right-back to try to find him out. GMS might be best suited.
The No.10 is a key position. Kris Commons is the best at Celtic for that role but he hasn't played enough and isn't at his best.
You'd prefer to go with someone in better form and have to consider Tom Rogic. Many would pick Stefan Johansen and Deila might go for him as he has the legs to get back and join Brown and Bitton when Rangers have the ball but can also get up to help Griffiths when Celtic attack.
I'd gamble and go for Commons. If you want someone to win a game, to find the key pass or magical finish from 20 yards, he's your man.
Now for tactics and Deila can't be sure how Rangers will play. If I were Mark Warburton I'd model my team on the likes of Molde.
It's not rocket science how Celtic play and Deila never changes, even though he should at times. Rangers' best chance might be to go positive and exploit Celtic's vulnerable
backline but that carries risk.
There has been a lot of talk after Rangers demolished Peterhead. Yes, Peterhead! The question is whether Warburton's team follow a more defensive gameplan or play with the freedom they have in the league.
No doubt, they've been effective in the second tier. Wes Foderingham has looked competent, Tavernier and Wallace have been great going forward but not tested defensively.
The centre-halves can't run. A high line spells trouble and even in the Championship they have been exploited. They have a neat and tidy midfield trio but surely if Brown and Co bring their A game they'll trample them. Kenny Miller's experience should not be underestimated and Celtic need to be watchful of Barrie McKay's trickery.
But in reality it is a mismatch player-wise if Celtic turn up.
A year ago it wasn't a contest. This time Celtic's regression has led to Rangers having a fighting chance.
But Celtic shouldn't allow this game to be close. If I was in that Celtic dressing room I'd have lapped up this week listening to the talk, keeping my counsel and preparing to slam Rangers back in their place.
Celtic need to win and do it in style. Yes, Rangers won a Second Division and Petrol Tank Cup but it is time for Celtic to show their rivals they can't compete now and won't next season either.

An AIDS poster is a warning call against a global threat. A group of AIDS posters reveals that this single unifying concern covers a wide variety of issues. How do you warn barbers in Mozambique, club kids in Sweden and travelers in Thailand? Adrienne Klein works with a collection of 6,000 AIDS posters and she will show us how the posters are variously funny, beautiful, shocking and serious -- are subject to the filter of distinct cultures. Immunobiologist Dr. Susan Zolla-Pazner was involved in the diagnosis and description of the first AIDS patients in 1981. She is Professor of Pathology at NYU School of Medicine and the recipient of a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for development of an AIDS vaccine. She will tell us about her current work, showing how data that reveal the secrets of the virus can be both informative and visually beautiful.

"Shelley Stenhouse's poems are about sex and using drugs and being a woman, and having money and not having money and how vague life is. None of this stuff is made the slightest bit melodramatic or exaggerated. Instead, her writing has a particularity of detail, an emotional precision and honesty which amounts to that all-too-rare quality called Frankness. When I read these poems, I think, again and again, "So I'm not the only one," which is consoling, refreshing, amusing, sad, and rehabilitating. I love this work, and Impunity will turn you on, bring you down, and grow you up."

"Putting viola player Mat Maneri with veteran drummer Paul Motian was a stroke of genius. They share an obsession for pernickety, ornate gesturing and their concept of time transforms pulse into endlessly malleable modules. The foresight to bring the two men together came from New York - based pianist Jacob Sacks and bass player Eivind Opsvik, and the resulting album is a joint release by two labels - an enterprising way for labels to cover costs in the future perhaps? The disc opens with "Ha!", a good-natured composition from which Maneri's microtonal viola locates unexpectedly weighty insides. "Simple Song" has the flow of a nursery rhyme and Maneri, again, flips the tune on to its dark side; a joyful solo from Opsvik restores its intrinsic optimism. Sacks is an impressive pianist - he relishes tossing glassy clusters against the flow, but the harmonic pattern he reciterates on "Evening Kites" reveals his homely and genteel side. An enjoyable record, an important one even" - Philip Clark, Wire
"The evening�s cover charge will also apply to a later set by Mr. Sacks and Mr. Opsvik, who recently released a likably cagey album, �Two Miles a Day� (Loyal Label/Yeah Yeah), with Mat Maneri on viola and violin and Paul Motian on drums. On the album these players explore hazy terrain, with a casual approach to resolution. The mood should be no less mysterious than on record, and the interplay just as strong." - Nate Chinen, NY Times

Executive director and director of wellness seems to be a joke they are rude and extremely ignorant when it comes to care of the residents in this facility they give you nothing but excuses and blame others for problems that they as managers should make sure care is provided properly! The value of care and food is definitely not worth the price! I can never get through to the executive director or Director of wellness anymore they seem to be avoiding me which is a major problem!

I am a friend or relative of resident
My mother has lived here for 1 1/2 years. If you or your loved one doesn't have any major health issues this community could be fine for you. But if you have or develop health issues, in my opinion, you will not be well cared for. Especially if you have mental issues also. They have not stayed on top of my mother's health problems. One of the problems is that they are understaffed and unqualified to assess health problems. They have a huge staff turnover also and the care is not consistent when the shift changes. The residents do get a medical alert pendant but it takes the staff forever to come to their room and then the staff member takes a very long time to come back with whatever the resident is needing. This has caused my mother to use her walker to go down the long halls to hunt a staff member down for her needs and not use her pendant. Recently she developed an infection in her skin that was spreading rapidly, her skin broke down and was leaking. They did not call me to let me know how bad it was getting and she was miserable. I took her to the hospital to get it under control and since she has been back I have gone up there everyday to observe if they are caring for her correctly. Some nurses are and some are not, some are qualified, others are not. To me the quality of care that they give is much more important than how well the place is decorated or their activities because what it boils down to is that you or your loved one is getting older and your health will eventually deteriorate and you will need to be cared for well at some point. Most residents don't care about parties, decorations, loud music etc. they just want people to really, genuinely care about and for them. Also the food was good at first but has really gone down hill. The rate is less than most places. I wish I had searched for a smaller facility that was easier to get around in, this place is huge and built like a maze.

I visited this facility
Emerald Square was OK, but they were a little bit cold. We didn't feel comfortable during the visit, and they were a little bit pushy. I believe they were recommended to us by a relative; that's why we visited them. The room was really nice, but the people there not friendly. They just didn't feel warm and cozy.
October 30, 2015
I visited this facility
Everybody seemed friendly at Emerald Square. They had a good organization going on. The only thing that we were concerned about was that it was outside our price range. They had activities, like bingo and card games. They would drive you to your doctor's appointment, but they also had an in-house doctor, if you chose to use him.

I am/was a resident of this facility
Emerald Square is wonderful; we love it. It's nice and roomy; it's great food. It will take you all the way to hospice. You couldn't ask for nicer people to work with. Even the people that live here are very congenial and very nice, and the staff is fantastic.

My aunt is in Emerald Square, and I think it is nice. They serve them 3 meals a day. She has a bedroom and a bathroom. However, they change staff quite a bit. She will like one, and then that one doesn't stay. They have quite a few activities. She is on a walker, so she doesn't go to all of them, but they do have different things. They have singing, church, exercise, crafts, and things like that. I like it, and I see nothing wrong in it.
May 20, 2014
I visited this facility
I visited Emerald Square and I found it to be a nice and accommodating place. I talked to the staff there. They were very nice, informative, and very personable. They provided me all the information that I needed. They had assisted living, and they had cottages. They told me all about what they provided. They had activities, like they take people out to different performances and places. From what I saw and the way they described it to me, I thought that this was a top-notch facility.
February 14, 2014
I visited this facility
Emerald Square is a nice facility. My husband could have ended here but they don't have a lock down unit. That was primarily the reason why he didn't go there. Also it was just a feeling that they were pressuring me to get it now because the pay was half the price and I got to do it by this date. But, they're more updated and the rooms are larger and more modern than where he is now. Price is almost identical too. They told me a lot of stuff that they do in a daily basis. Every day, they have something in the morning for the morning people and also in the afternoon for the afternoon people. I didn't see anything wrong, they just need a locked down facility and that would have worked for me. It's closer to my house and it looked spotless, they never knew I was going to drop in.

Indirect illumination and global illumination are similar. Both effects
are the result of light hitting objects in the scene, then bouncing off
those objects to illuminate other objects in the scene. With both illumination
types, the bounced light can reach areas that direct light from the light
sources could not otherwise reach.
Indirect illumination is the result of light transmitted from a source
onto objects in the scene that are then diffusely spread from one object
to another. Objects send out sampling rays from each pixel in the image
and gather the color information on what the rays hit. More rays result
in more realistic color bleeding and slower performance.
Global illumination is the result of photons being emitted into the
scene by each light source. As the photons bounce around the scene and
hit an object, they store the color information. The distance that the
photons travel and the strength of the effect is determined by the photon
energy. More photons result in more realistic effects and slower performance.
Note the following images. One shows the effect of indirect illumination,
and the other shows the effect of global illumination. The effects produce
similar results. It is recommended that you vary the intensity of lights,
the energy and amount of photons, and the diffuse property of the appearances
to find the combination that produces the best results for your scene.

Back in January, I took some time to flip open my Bible, and write a full page in a notebook on what I read. I felt inspired to take a peak back at what I had written, for I couldn't remember, but I thought it might help me, and others, with whatever may be going on with them. So here is my entry from January 26, on Hebrews 2:1-4 (read it before going on!)
This passage starts out "Therefore, we must attend all the more to what we have heard, so that we may not be carried away." How true this is today for us Christians! We live in a world where it is very easy to be carried away by sin. Our culture has forgotten God, and it tries to make us forget Him too. It tries to distract us from our faith and our God. We are told here though that we must pay attention to what we have heard that combats society's ways! We cannot simply get by, going to Mass once a week...or, worse yet, not at all. No...this is not a spectator's sport! Instead, we need to keep God on our minds, in our hearts, and on our tongues and hands and eyes and feet ALWAYS! In this age, yes, we must attend all the more to what we have heard.
What have we heard though...or do we let the world drown out the voice of our loving Father? In Church, do we pay full attention...or does our mind wander? Do we fret and worry and zone out? I know I have trouble. But do we zone out while watching a movie or playing a game? No...so it CAN be done, especially with God's help. What else do we hear? Do we read the Word of God? Do we pray and talk...not to, but WITH Him? Can we hear His loving voice, guiding us and leading us? As verse 4 says, we not only have what we have heard, but we have signs, wonders, acts of power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit! We need to latch onto these things and hold them dear at all times. We need to pray and read the Bible to HEAR God. And then, by His grace, we need to do what He tells us to do, and attend to His holy will...or else, "how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?"

I am a sociologist who likes to visit cemeteries. Social inequalities are memorialized in them, set in stone.
Last summer I visited the old UNC-Chapel Hill cemetery. It was disturbing to see the segregated section of the cemetery, the section where slaves and their descendants were buried in unmarked graves. It was disturbing to know that for a time people parked cars on top of the graves. Actually, what I saw looked more like an unpaved parking lot than part of a cemetery.
No doubt Judge Peele meant well when he asked for a small monument to mark this area, had it inscribed, approved by the Cemeteries Advisory Board, and put in place but without involving the NAACP, students or faculty. Now, because of objections, it has been removed, perhaps temporarily.
Judge Peele saw his monument to the slaves as somehow a balance to Silent Sam, the huge campus monument extolling the UNC students who fought in the Civil War. Despite the traditional Southern denial, there is no doubt that the war was started by the South to preserve the slave labor system. Whatever individual soldiers may have done, a war to preserve slavery is a dishonorable war and letting the monument stand without any rebuttal to what is says and what it represents is a disgrace. Of course, last year the Republican-controlled legislature in this state made it illegal to alter or remove Confederate monuments. This past summer, inspired Klan-type people rallied on the campus at the monument making speeches and waving Confederate flags.
Would a small monument in the slave section of the UNC cemetery help matters? It would not change much.
The day I visited the cemetery I learned that the individual graves had been located several years ago using ground radar, yet they were still unmarked. Why? The next day it struck me that the graveyard is an excellent historic memorial just as it is, shabby, and neglected. It was a disgrace from the beginning and so it is today.
I would encourage people to see it. When I was there I imagined how the slaves must have felt when their kin were buried in unmarked graves and what they thought when they realized that this would be their fate too. They would have seen the white section of course with its fine family plots and tombstones. I also imagined what some of the slave owners must have felt when they buried slaves in the slave section knowing that some of them were their own kin. This forlorn place brings William Faulkner's quote to mind: "The past is never dead. It isn't even past."

A woman who was struck by a vehicle and killed near the Marine Barracks on Capitol Hill on Thursday has been identified as an Alexandria resident and longtime cafeteria worker at the military complex in Southeast Washington.
Julie Phillips, 44, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred about 10 a.m. in the 800 block of I Street SE. The Marine complex, headquarters for the commandant, the color guard and the drill corps, is known as "8th & I."
Phillips worked for many years in one of the base cafeterias, according to Sodexo, a company that places workers in various jobs, including food services.
A spokeswoman for the North American headquarters in Gaithersburg said Phillips had been hired by a subcontractor, ServiceSource, a nonprofit that places disabled workers in jobs in eight states and in the District. Phillips had worked at the Marine Barracks more than 10 years.
On Thursday, D.C. police said Phillips had been walking east along I Street and turned north in an attempt to cross the street. The authorities said she was struck by a 2014 Freightliner box truck heading west on I Street.
A relative of Phillips reached at her home in Alexandria declined to comment. A spokesman for the Marine Barracks did not return calls.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and police are urging anyone with information to call 202-727-9099 or text the department's tip line at 50411.

LSU and its rally possum continued to defy rankings, seedings and margins Wednesday -- and picked up a record and a creature on the food chain for good measure.
The No. 7 Tigers (41-17) scored three runs in the top of the eighth, survived a response from No. 4 Florida (44-12) and finally pulled out a 5-3 victory in the 14th inning of the longest game in SEC tournament history at more than five hours.
Bryce Jordan reached on a throwing error to lead off the inning at about 1:20 a.m. (See the boxscore here.)
Chris Reid replaced him on base on a fielder's choice, then advanced to second on a Brennan Breaux walk.
And, after a second out, back-to-back singles by a pair of unlikely heroes in Jordan Romero and Cole Freeman brought the runs home and eased the marathon to its finish.
Romero had been 0-for his last 17 with six strikeouts and two double plays grounded into before his pinch-hit RBI at about 1:38 a.m.
Freeman, the nine-hole hitter, had been 0-for-5 on the evening before driving home the insurance ride.
"Baseball can be tough sometimes, and the past couple of weeks actually, that was my first hit in 17 or 18 at-bats," Romero told SEC Network after the game. "My whole life I've kind of been a clutch hitter, and for three hours, I was sitting there just going through that in my head that I was gonna get the job done when I heard my name called."
The Tigers remain in the winners' bracket of the SEC tournament Thursday, as the No. 5 seed next faced top-seeded and top-ranked Mississippi State (41-14-1) at 8 p.m. Thursday.
Florida, the No. 4 seed, will have a quick turnaround to an elimination game against ninth-seeded Alabama (32-25) at 1 p.m.
The teams appeared headed in opposite destinations for much of a long evening in Hoover, Ala.
Junior lefty A.J. Puk had thrown an absolute gem for the Gators through 7 1/3 shutout innings -- the longest start of his career -- with a stuffed owl, a natural predator of the possum, perched atop their dugout.
But LSU found its late-season, late-inning mojo yet again.
Antoine Duplantis poked a ball just fair down the third-base line to reach second on the well-placed hit, and Jake Fraley worked his way back in a count the next at-bat to eventually drill a single up the middle to score his fellow outfielder.
Florida center fielder Buddy Reed threw home on the play and allowed Fraley to advance to second in the process.
Catcher Mike Rivera quickly threw the ball back that direction, but sailed it too far for shortstop Dalton Guthrie to corral, and Fraley moved forward yet again to third.
Cue Kramer Robertson. Who else?
The junior shortstop chopped a pitch just deep enough to Guthrie in a shallow-playing infield to bring Fraley home for the game-tying run on a close, controversial play at the plate.
Robertson had helped lift the Tigers past the Gators, 5-4, on Friday on a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, and then past Tennessee by the same score Tuesday on a walkoff RBI single in the bottom of the ninth.
And he wasn't quite done Wednesday, either.
Robertson stole second and advanced to third base on a wild pitch that somehow, against all odds, missed Bryce Jordan -- who has been hit by a program-record 23 pitches thus far this season.
Jordan then singled to center to bring Robertson home for LSU's first lead, 3-2.
Florida's two runs in the first inning had held up until then.
The Gators used three straight one-out, extra-base hits -- doubles by Jonathan India and J.J. Schwarz and a triple by Reed to push quickly ahead.
Puk was ultimately charged for two earned runs on six hits, two walks and seven strikeouts.
Both runs and two of those hits came after 7 1/3 innings by the highly regarded pitching prospect, who lasted just 2 1/3 in the teams' Friday thriller.
Alex Lange pitched a hell of a game in his own right, though, after the early stumbles.
The sophomore ace pitched six dominant innings from there to hold the deficit at 2-0 with seven total innings pitched, five hits, three walks and 11 strikeouts.
Duplantis, Fraley, Robertson and Jordan finally picked him up in the top of the eighth.
Florida wouldn't give up quite that easily, though.
Reed lifted a ball down the left-field line to begin mounting its own rally in the bottom of the ninth.
Breaux, a freshman just inserted into the contest, chased it down, but couldn't make the catch of what was initially ruled a foul ball.
But the miscue proved all the more costly when umpires reviews and overturned the call, saying Breaux had pushed what would've been a fair ball outside the line.
Reed took second base, advanced to third on Rivera bunt and eventually scored the tying run on a Deacon Liput single through the right side.
But, as they have one way or another for 13 of the past 14 games, the Tigers somehow still managed the last laugh.
The Gators even loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the 11th.
But, again, LSU somehow survived.
Coach Paul Mainieri brought in Trey Dawson as a fifth infielder, and the Tigers drew a pop-up to second and a liner to third that Reid snagged and hopped back to the base double off the lead runner for a third out.
And finally, three innings later, LSU managed the fourth and final runs necessary to put Florida to sleep, as Jesse Stallings closed out a five-inning relief victory.

(The title comes from my first day-trip to Paris, when I was 12. My uncles took me on a Eurostar/bus tour of Paris, and as we drove past the many, many drool-worthy shops, our native French speaker of a guide talked about "window licking," as opposed to "window shopping." Because I was 12 and a little dense at the time, I swear she said "window leaking." I did not get it.) Long intro, I know. So, without further ado, I present to you…things that I would love to own and sport in Paris, but am too depressed about the dollar/Euro exchange rate to actually purchase, courtesy of Shop It To Me.
First, the dresses. A DVF, from Nordstrom, a steal at $171 (that's half off, folks!).I am loving the bateau neck and the chic ponytail, both of which I can pull off for much cheaper. Sorry, Diane. I still think you're lovely.
Now, a great, summery Lilly Pulitzer. Not the trademark Lilly pink and green (love! Drool!), but a yellow that I know everyone is digging right now. Available from Bloomingdales, $195.
One last DVF, a bit on the safari side. I can't decide what I think about the neckline, but I am leaning towards affection. dvf.com, $207 (Yikes)
Now, the shoes! Just one today– a Steve Madden wedge that I envision would be either on the "horribly uncomfortable" or "like a dream" end of the comfort spectrum…what do you think? $60 on shoes.com
Finally, just for comparison sake– I give you these, which look suspiciously like a pair I got at Target for about, oh…$6. So there. I win shopping!

So yesterday was pretty unclimatic. Well… okay… it had it's ups. I watched two football games (including a pretty good Ravens game), read a bit of Sartre, finished setting up more online bills through MSN Money Plus, and then some power snuggling with my baby (she's the best) and then sleep. All in all a good night's sleep (though she hasn't slept as well last night).
Up this morning, walk into the living room and…
I see a white world outside of my window. I felt like a kid as I looked at the white, silent, snow-covered world outside.
I dig the way snow looks. I am wanting to go out to Mt Pisgah and hike along the trails there. But I am drinking my coffee, and listening to NPR while I enjoy a quiet morning.
Yes… NPR's Morning Edition. I've not listened to it in two years (since my first car died). I listened to NPR every morning while driving thirty minutes from Hamburg, Arkansas to the campus of UAM in Monticello. I listened while going to and from work in Houston. I listened to the afternoon edition while driving to work in Junction City.
Right now I am listening to a piece that looks at four species on the original 1967 Endangered Species list and how they are recovering. I love NPR. Two years ago Terry Gross (from Fresh Aire) was on a book tour and hit Portland. I wanted to go to Portland to get a book signed but was unable to make it.
I will often play CNN, or Headline News on the t.v., but I really love NPR. It is better produced, has more things of importance to me, and is all around better (I think).
This is all due to the new DSL line. After moving from one apartment to this one I lost my DSL and had to use dial-up. Yes, dial-up on a computer that was average in 1998 sucks. After getting DSL running I now get much better internet radio sound. I don't listen to the radio station offered on the regular radio. It sucks (exept for NPR). The same songs, the same artists, all crap. On the net I can listen to whatever suits my mood.
I love it!

Coming out of Chipping Warden on the A361, we see ahead of us the long line of poplars that, over the past few weeks, have been turning from tall, stately skeletons into leaf-shrouded guardians of the horizon. It's spring in England, and our journeys from Oxford to Braunston have been marked by the slow emergence of life in the hedgerows and copses visible from the road.
Why Braunston? To anyone who's ever cruised the canals, it's not a question. In its heyday, Braunston was the hub of the canal system, the point at which, not only did the Grand Union split in two – one branch snaking north to Leicester, the other heading for the steel furnaces of Birmingham – but it also bisects the Oxford-Coventry Canal.
It was, back in the day, the site of a busy boat-building industry, with coal carriers, chandlers and rope makers. Today, it's where both the Braunston Marina and, within it, our boat Patience, are to be found.
Which explains why we were hurtling in our hired Citroen through Chipping Warden, Byfield, Charwelton, Fawsley, Badby and Daventry – and past Preston Capes, Prior Marston, Wormleighton and Appletree. (Forgive my extravagance – I am, of course, just showing off.)
Patience had just spent three weeks in drydock, and we were on our way to take delivery of her from master-painter Dave Bishop.
Painting a narrowboat is very different from painting, say, a house, or even a very intricate piece of Chinese furniture which, come to think of it, is, by comparison, the merest doddle.
Painting a narrowboat properly requires, first, that you strip off every flake of the existing paint, taking it, as we like in the trade to say, "down to metal".
And then building up its new paint sheath layer by layer. I like to think there are seven of them, but I don't really know, from an initial layer intended to protect the steel shell from developing rust, to the last, glossy coating that is so lustrous it looks like you could dip a finger in it.
Of course, this all costs a bomb, but Trish and I tried hard not to think of this as we barreled down the last long hill from Daventry.
"There's the spire," I said, spotting the tall, incredibly sharp spire of Braunston's All Saint's Church, otherwise known as the Cathedral of the Canals. It was the equivalent of that first sighting of a thin edge of blue on those childhood journeys from Johannesburg to Durban: it marks the moment you know you're really there.
"I hope it was worth it." Trish at the wheel was fretting.
"I'm sure it was." I tried to invest my words with more confidence than I felt. It had been an enormous sum of money.
We turned right at the sign and a moment later were pulling up in the bay whose sign sternly indicated that it was for turning only.
"She's moored up," I said. "And Dave's checking her out."
We made our way out along the jetty to the berth at which we'd been mooring Patience for the last six years. Dave met us at the stern.
"Well timed," he said. "We've just brought her over from the drydock."
We hardly heard him. Our eyes were on that glossy deep green surface… On the silver grey roof… On the truly elegant name, inscribed in flowing, shadowed letters in a graceful arc: Patience. And below that: Braunston.
What could be more perfect? Our home, and the HQ of Allaboutwriting, for the next six months. And the source of a weekly blog on canal-boating and writing. So it's just as well she's as beautiful as Helen of Troy who was, if you remember, so fair of face that she launched a thousand ships.
We only have one, and she's Patience.

So, I am reflecting on the fact I am very, very far behind. Considering this question-
'Why do I not want to do this?'
Here is why I think I have begun to fall behind:
- Any kind of course or things kinda related to schoolwork give me the sweats. I would say I am pretty able but very, very lazy when it comes to completing academic stuff. It's something I have much improved over time but I still need more work on it. I guess when I was younger I was too busy having fun to worry about boring old essays. If only life was still like that!
- Before the summer holidays at work I was SUPER motivated. I've come back after the holiday now and I am slightly less motivated whilst I get back into it. So that has lead me to fall behind a bit
- I wasn't that fussed about the last Thing we did in regards to Live Streaming so I need to just accept that and move on!
I need to sit down and work out properly what I want to do each day and what time I can commit to certain things. I think I am not prioritising the right things and spending too long on some tasks compared to others. I don't really have anyone managing me day to day in my current role so I need to ensure I take more responsibility in managing myself and my time. I'm hoping to start an MA (I didn't fully complete my last one) sometime soon, so I need to ensure I have ironed out these problems before I embark on that.
Okay, that's enough on that for now, onto the next Thing!

Mastering Scraps on No Front Teeth Records.
Check out Uber Rock's review:
"When you get a member of The Gaggers, Miscalculations and East End Riot kicking up a shit storm of good time old school punk rock under the moniker of The Scraps then it is impossible to fail right? Well what we have here is four tracks of just that, each one as enjoyable as the last. It's a must buy that's for sure. Saving the best till last 'Watching You' sounds like it could fall apart at any given moment but it's the ragged charm that's the bait and part of its allure and I'm loving it. As I said four tracks of ragged punk rock old school style is the order of the day and all written and played with much gusto and passion. 'Waste My Time' has a smudge of Buzzcocks and Ramones thrown into the mix whilst 'Time Has Come' is sharp with a cool as riff. Great stuff indeed. Available HERE on digital but it is apparently being pressed on vinyl as I type."

Several people have asked me for pictures of my beer cellar recently…well, this is kind of what you asked for. Last week, I noticed that there had been water sprayed all over my beer bottles but did not know what the source of it was. My kitchen hot and cold pipes run overhead and led me to believe a weak solder joint had sprung a leak. Earlier today, I went downstairs to pack up several boxes and I noticed that my shelves again seemed wetter than they were last weekend. I started a move some bottles around to allow the wood to properly dry. So tonight, my wife started up our dishwaher and I decided to get some meat for dinner out of our basement freezer when I seen water coming through the kitchen floor, leaking through every crevice it could find. The water was coming from my dishwasher, which I recently had installed from Lowes. Two hours and two bitchy calls later, Im still waiting for someone to call me back. Note: DO NOT HAVE LOWES INSTALL A DISHAWASHER.
Please note, these are not all my bottles, there are about 30 sitting on top of my freezer, several full boxes out of the shot, several boxes moved into the garage and bottles in my wine fridge and beer fridge. One bottle of Kern River Citra was sacrificed in order for me to maintain my sanity and not killing someone.
UPDATE: It took two and a half weeks and three visits to the house for someone to finally fix the damn thing.

When snow turns to sludge!
As you can see below, that's what I made - all went well with the metal work, making the bezel setting and all that - here's the finished ring.......
Actually though, it all went pear shaped at the last minute.
The stone started off as a lovely snow white, frosty, sugary WHITE stone. By the time I finished it was a GRAY! My snow had turned to sludge!
Here's what happened - The stone was straight sided so I couldn't set the bezel in the traditional way of pushing it over the stone. I decided to use 2 part epoxy. I had done some research (um, web surfing) and discovered that the use of glue to set stones is frowned upon in many jewellery circles -Warning: please turn away now if that's you ;) - but as I didn't want to do other fancy settings, it was my only option.
So, I carefully selected a top of the range Ultra clear epoxy - (8 mls for $9.40 - hey, that's only the equivalent of $1175 a litre - it should do the job - argh!!)
Meanwhile, the white stone against the polished silver looked a little bland, so I oxidised the ring with Liver of Sulfur to get a bit of contrast. I did this before setting the stone so I wouldn't discolour it (Ha Ha - that's ironic!). I gave the inside of the setting a quick sand to remove the oxidisation there and later on I glued the stone in and set it aside.
On checking it later, I was shocked to find my white stone had turned gray.
I'm thinking that I mustn't have removed all the oxidisation properly inside the setting and a chemical reaction of some kind occurred that caused the remaining oxidisation & the epoxy to be absorbed into the porous stone. Any metalworkers or lapidary people out there who can shed some light on it? All suggestions and theories welcome as I still want to make myself one of these rings with my remaining stones and I'd like the stone to stay white next time!
The story does have a happy ending though. My stockist liked the monochromatic purple/gray shades of the finished ring anyway and happily took it to put in her shop. Pin It

oh wow. I will have to go in and have a look at it because I saw the stone before you set it... I wonder if it was the glue also acting as an extension of the facet? maybe it you add some white pigment to the glue? I have some... you are welcome, I just have to find it :-)
I love it to!

Anon, That you Jane? Thanks, I was considering dripping bleach into the top of the stone to see if that would take the gray out, but E. liked it and took the ring anyway so I didn't need to experiment.
Next one I'll set before I oxidise.

Pam, is the ring you wanted to show us at lunch on Saturday? It's really beautiful, despite the epoxy leeching into the stone! It was great to meet you on Saturday and see your stunning creations in person. Look forward to the next meet! Regards, Belinda

Hi Belinda, Thanks, It was great to meet you too! I'm in awe of your wonderful bead weaving! Saturday was fun - didn't manage to make any Beading Forum meet ups last year so it was great to get to this one and catch up with you all.
Yes, this is the ring! I found it on the bed when I got home! At least I hadn't lost it :)
- 7:02 pm
I'm thinking try putting some of the epoxy on just some silver and see if there's a reaction. If not, perhaps try sealing the back of the druzy with a clear lacquer that doesn't react with epoxy to keep any possible reaction between glue and stone from happening. I too don't like using glue to set stones, but sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do. :o) Love the ring.

Thanks for visiting, and the compliment and advice justmakeamess.
I've still got another similar stone so I'll try out your ideas when I do something with it.
