What is the opposite of "Idea " ?
Concept / idea - what could be the most closest opposite of it ?
pat gilbert
Mar 3 2013: Ignorance
- +2
Mar 3 2013: Isn't ignorance a concept / idea byitself?
Mar 3 2013: To me it is being oblivious to the subject.
Mar 3 2013: Does it mean that there is neither an external or internal stimuli to create awareness that is termed as an idea?Mar 3 2013: An idea has to in reference to something.
The opposite of being in reference to something is not being in reference to something.
Mar 3 2013: so no information? if so, being inside a black hole? except that apparently according to Stephen Hawking there are scraps of information escaping... so perhaps these are the 'opposites of ideas'!
well, maybe!Mar 3 2013: What Stephen terms as " Scraps..." to explore " black hole" at Macro levels - Einstein it seems at micro level terms these as " Intuitive Gifts" - your right, these are the closest oppositesMar 7 2013: Charan, hi again ! :)
Coming back to your topic, how idea and form are not distinct, as i suggested. It's pretty simple: the idea/dream of flight creates the airplane. In this case what human mind does is making lemons from lemonade, the Nature is busy with the reverse : nothing lasts. But nothing lost either and an airplane shapes human mind differently, it is not the same as before, the very fabric of Time has changed , the time is speeding up. Let alone the Internet...here is the Marshal McLuhan's idea is in action : the media is the message. Iow. everything is a flux. vexed chicken egg question.
What i am trying to say is : Reality is illusion of MIND , and i don't mean human mind only, Human mind is the major player in creating virtual reality we inhabit and it is done through language, by language i mean any kind of expression. Human mind , whatever it is , is not prior to reality. There is no causality here ; it's concrescence, they grow together. But MIND is beyond language and casts the shadow over human mind.
What is IT ? Have no idea ! A Mystery.
Please, keep in mind, i am modeling my understanding of ' everything ' , being perfectly aware that
i don't know :)
Mar 7 2013: nn- thanks for these tips on further exploring your questions, esp reference of McLuhen - Though it seems, 'Ape_Me_Un' ( As per my evolving understanding ;) ) " Reality is illusion of MIND" seems incorrect. There should be something that connects all phases "I" undergo as consciousness/ awareness shuttling between memory /mind ... wait till we collectively find it ;) before and after learning a language - and simple enough at the ground level not complicated at all !! not virtual
Mar 7 2013: " There should be something that connects all phases "I" undergo as consciousness/ awareness shuttling between memory /mind ... wait till we collectively find it ;) "
That's the point ! Reality is MIND's creation, it is not the Holy Other, it's all that is/were collectively. We don't remember that we have always been and have always participated in creation and after being separated again re-discover our own creation. As you said ( if i understand you right ) Amnesia is an interval to push the creation forward. What connects all phases ? There is no Past, everything that was is here and now and everything that most likely shall be is here too. Or let's say : we know where the road goes , but we don't know how the scinery will look like.
We agree that we are One , but don't take it as a basic premise in modeling our understanding how this world/reality works.
Mar 7 2013: I am still not sure why Charan is trying to find this underlying connection when the connection is literally everythingMar 8 2013: Don't we ask questions to get answersMar 8 2013: I guess I would need to know why he is so pressed to find this 1 universal common denominator.
When also realizing that we are oneMar 8 2013: #casey - It seems it is for the reason of objectivity - we are one everyone says and I agree , however, it seems a general statement - are we one ? does language /sound /voice /vision connects us - If something is not measurable we need to work together to develop /find that. On a positive note if the connection is found - more compassion, fellowship, collaboration will flow amongst us.It seems it is an idea of working together to find an answer to a question for which the knowledge is spread all around - amongst us. Currently - it seems a slogan only , that we are all connected, we are one - and so on. Finding Something more solid would be helpfulMar 8 2013: @Casey - "1 universal common denominator" - Is not an Idea !! but opposite of idea that needs to be found with knowledgeable, wise men around :such as TED, Or in communities or like minded friends, fellow seekers of Truth, - that will connect Plato's abstract with the form . That will likely help humanity understand FORM IS NOT AN ILLUSION /DREAM/UNREAL either -In this world of ideas/ concept there are several challenges - 1) everything is through language - even considering "we are one " is an idea, unless connected through that thread - 1 universal common denominator" that connects the core with the idea !! As idea it may have a beginning, sustenance for some time then regeneration/recycle, When the Common Connector is identified barriers imposed by anguage will not stop one in cycles of idea 2) Can one experience a World without words / written -verbal - non verbal ( considering non verbal - visual as codes of a language ) ? Yet language is invented by those human like us who knew the connection and competently laid the maps for connection through language - thus the language in a broader sense a mean to connect all as well. FINALLY on a back of a IC electronic chip circuit - one can see the connection/ joins Without that can those electronic parts talk to each other and manifest ? Thats how important it seems this common connector is....Mar 7 2013: it a pattern ....which is another way of saying .....everything
Mar 7 2013: Understanding is the apperception of pattern as such.
The number of patterns is infinite, that's what William Blake's " to see infinity in the grain of sand ..." is about.Mar 8 2013: Is it possible to ask the question if you don't have the answer ?
I think, the problem is verbalisation, it's hard to talk about unspeakable :)Mar 8 2013: Don't we ask questions to get answers
I'd like to quote you, but don't remember exactly how you put it, something like :
i don't have all answers, we do.
Actually, we don't have either, but more versions more coherence, i guess.Mar 8 2013: @Natasha - It seemsWilliam Blake's quote is more reflective on becoming humble , like an Ant / like a Sand/like a grain to - losing one's false Id , as your often referenced
U r right likely "hard to talk about unspeakable " or what connects the unspeakable with speakable ;)Mar 7 2013: What is the opposite to 'illusion' ?
Mar 7 2013: Consciousness. It can be described as "jumping over your shadow" or braking the code, something like this. i guess. But i don't think it's opposite to illusion. Consciousness is where all opposites are reconciled.
Thanks for asking ! :)Mar 7 2013: @Reine - When "I" loose "Eye" ( the second I in the illusion) on anything, that seems like - what is Illusion !! so opposite possibly be something with no distraction - Clear Vision and Firm ;) - from an adopted son of -English as Mother tongue. @ nn - possibly what nn might approve me saying - where i (small i) reconciles with I ( large I) - ;)
Mar 7 2013: Maybe this is the same dichotomous tension that haunts individual in his/her relationship to Dao.
We don't want to be lost in ego, but on the other hand if we completely express the Dao, we have no sense of self.
The ideal seems to be a paradoxical state where what we have is Dao, but we perceive it as ego.
Something like this :)Mar 8 2013: Re : from an adopted son of -English as Mother tongue.
Does it mean that English is not your first language ?
If you don't mind me asking :)Mar 7 2013: "opposite" gets a good looking at as I mull this one over, I mean when an idea germinates it may in fact have intuitive roots alone or perhaps a dimensional leak in theory at least. So opposite has two meanings without even close scrutiny. If an environment in part elicits the idea can it have one type or another at inception add the defining construct. In so much as the mathematical relative other can result in being perceived as Dan (?) put it, frozen can this not be a halting of process and so be neutral as opposed to opposite? or depends on the definition again maybe.
Mar 7 2013: Thanks Philip - Please correct me if I have incorrectly understood you and Dan F; here is what I mean: let us a say I am an Idea with an awareness and help from language I have a name and a life cycle as water - I am aware of myself as water- when heated I turn into steam, when cold I turn into Ice !! or get frozen !! So as long as I m conscious of my entity in all the three phases of being a solid, liquid or gad - I remain in the cycle without opposites in the True sense because these are my stages. So first - Am I aware of being in all stages if Yes !! then what is the opposite of "I" that has acquired a name of idea with the help of language ? Does this opposite exsist? what connects "I" as an Idea with what has the life cycles such as - birth /death - solid, liquid , gas, or origin as an Idea, promotion and/or trashed. Hope this makes some sense !!Mar 6 2013: Is it possible the concept and application of opposites to a given word is only a helpful dimension to better understanding what contributes to our human capacity to perceive.
Consider this challenge of opposites regarding the perception of a physical item. Is the mirror image of something the opposite of the original item? Obviously not, but...sorta?
Mar 7 2013: Here is a likely example - the word is: Idea/s (please allow to play with vowel sounds and little bit of phonetic wresting for another perspective / meaning to emerge ) so Idea can be re-written as " I " + "the" + "Ae/S" So from a new perspective Idea means : "something about Me/"I" " + "Something about the - people" + "Some trash Aes/Ash" likely implications - not everything about Me/I is acceptable to people, not everything about people may be acceptable to Me/I thus there is a Trash of Idea/s !! This may be taken as is Opposite in Opposites from my perspective - people and (tra)Ash(ed - Ideas) are opposites so are these dimensions from other angles as well . Another implication of this is it brings a different meaning to the word "Idea" not in dictionary - not in literature !! prevailing perspectives - however, can there be an idea without Me/I ? or without people? or can all ideas be making sense to fulfillment thus can there be no trash? Would you consider this the fun of language in understanding better " what contributes to our human capacity to perceive" ;)
Dan F
Mar 7 2013: The related talk to your challenge is, "A brain in a supercomputer." So admittedly I am focusing on the difficulties of mimicking the human brain via a supercomputer's capacity to preform to the level of intelligent elasticity we enjoy as humans in free thought.
- 0
I'm on my way skiing, so I will try to digest your comments later. I may need a glass of fine wine. You are cerebral - indeed!! So I presume you are not too concerned about supercomputers taking over at the helm? If so, I'm with you.
Did you open this can of worms on purpose?
Mar 7 2013: yes a mirror is your equal/opposite and so is your shadow of self
Dan F
Mar 8 2013: Hi Casey,
- 0
Is the opposite of an item, its reflection/shadow? I'd rather argue that it is not. Admittedly, the configuration of the mirror image is reversed/opposite, so I will grant you that much. Is it also reasonable to view the opposite of an item as gone or dispersed? Or perhaps in the form of energy as opposed to being in a physical state, matter vs antimatter?
Incidentally organic chemistry has identified a number of modules which are composed of the same atoms and are configured as a mirror reflection of one another. A right and left handed type. So perhaps that is getting close to one complex item being the opposite from its "mate" in a true physical sense.
Mar 8 2013: Arrived at the similar conclusion as above, unlike Chemists or Physicists who might use a electronic microscope to find ( loving atoms ) "mate in true physical sense", by playing with grapheme !! physically recognizable, manifested sounds !! Exploring with-in Why - ( Vine - Why In ) definitely helps "can of worms on purpose? " It seems these worms are generated through grapheme - that I mate with so everything under controll;)Mar 5 2013: Matter...form.
But ' Idea VS matter ' is actually the flaw of perception ; they are not distinct.
So, i have no idea ! :)
Mar 5 2013: I do not think you are too far off Natasha..I would say matter and form (if you take the approach of metaphysics and naturalism)..
I also agree with you if you say they are not distinct but I view this is in the physiological sense (if we relate it to the brain). Idea's would be a subjective mental process while its physical characteristics would be mechanistic.
that's what I would say
Mar 5 2013: Hi, Orlando !
My reasoning is simpler than yours, i guess :)
Nobody knows what matter is. With QM matter ceased to be definable and exists only in relationship with everything else ... I don't know how mind creates matter , but a particle shows the properties of a particle when it is observed. Somehow 'mind' ' the observer' is necessary for reality to undergo the formality of existence . In a sense, the reality IS what we think it is.
Idea and matter are made from the same universal 'stuff'. The reality is the construct of thoughts/ideas.
that's what i would say :)

Eckhart Tolle
Hi nn !!!Mar 6 2013: nn :)seems a billion dollar challenge question 1) "how mind creates matter"- 2) "' Idea VS matter ' is actually the flaw of perception ; they are not distinct." I was thinking similar to what Ed references ""The World is the Externalized HUman mind"" still thinking !! bear delay ...for some more time please
Mar 7 2013: Hi, Charan !
"The World is the Externalized HUman mind"
Sure !
I see what alarms you. Saying Mind i don't mean Human mind only. We emerge out of Nature , human is connected to the roots, we consolidate emergent properties and somehow bring them to a focus of self reflection. But Human mind is quite recent, the world/reality/matter is created by Mind/Spirit or whatever name.
The Svetasvatara Upanisad says:
satamsah sadrsatmakah
jivah suksma-svarupo 'yam
sankhyatito hi cit-kanah
'If we divide the tip of a hair into a hundred parts and then take one of these parts and divide it again into a hundred parts, that very fine division is the size of but one of the numberless living entities. They are all cit-kana, particles of spirit, not matter.'
Spirit is not allowed into the cannon of science, but how is it different from field ( it is not seen, but always present , it's ubiquitous) non locality , quantum potential ?
So, is there any clear cut between matter and spirit/mind ? Nobody knows what matter is made of . How particles get their masses ?Mar 7 2013: Ed !
' If tree falls in the wood and nobody sees it , does it happen ?"
I think, HUman mind is overstressed here . Human world is Externalized HUman mind. What about the creature that has never seen and has never been seen by a human ( hope there are such :) ) ?
As I stand it under, Mind is like a computer that runs , i don't know how many hundreds of thousand of operating systems at once and this Mind creates the world/reality/matter. Human operating system supports a lot of weird things, universe expansion... f.e. bee's/eagle's /shark's .. mind most likely doesn't We have a very vague idea what world they inhabit. But we share by creating our common reality collectively. A flower is conscious where the sun is and it also contributes to the reality, by its flower's perception of sun. Everything everywhere is doing the same thing infinitely. Mandelbrot set visualises it.
Does it make sense ? :)Mar 5 2013: Frozen
Mar 5 2013: Frozen seems similar in a way to Status quo/ routine / monotonous - with all of these in the domain of idea/ concept itself !! What seems opposite thus as "Einstein / McGilchrist - idea as " Intuitive Gift" ( Don references this in this conversation ) or as referenced by Reine " Stephen Hawking there are scraps of information escaping" Similar to Frozen Ice having splinters of Ice away escaping away from it
Mar 5 2013: An idea is a consequence, a venture, in terms of something being germinated. Being frozen (unchanged) would seem to preclude this creative process. It also may be seen as an individual inability to be receptive to notice, such as being presumptuously frozen in one's own mind from any recognition or differentiation in perception of an available "Intuitive Gift." A problem robots may have by definition. I will read the references to try to get up to speed.
Is the concept of opposites only useful to the extent that is essential in computing the elastic nature of what a given term connotes about being human?
Maybe it's a good thing language has its limitations, otherwise this struggle would be considerably less fun.
Mar 6 2013: " otherwise this struggle would be considerably less fun" interesting !! It seems though this fun through language may connect to a (d) strong insightful cord that connect (a) opposites (b) opposite of opposites (c) into the holistic both in language and beyond ;)

Mar 4 2013: Thanks !!Mar 3 2013: Fact.
However, words have meaning in context. It is not necessary that each will have an opposite.
Mar 3 2013: Finding opposite seems an inbuilt function that likely fills the unfilled. It seems questioning remains till opposite fills in.
Mar 4 2013: True. But it can be seen like this too. 'Opposite' is itself an idea. I am not sure if you are into the lexical semantics of it, but the idea of opposite carries a sense of 'opposing' something, that is an inherent incompatibility of the binary relationship in a pair (male-female etc.). From that aspect it is difficult to find out the binary pair of 'idea' that is something which is inherently incompatible to 'idea'.
There had been long tradition of dualism in scholastic thoughts but longer (but not so much remembered) tradition of continua where nothing is 'opposite' to any other rather two necessary extremes of the same continuum. Interestingly, laughter and cry involves almost same and identical muscles in human faces.
'Idea' to me is a mental construction of a possibility in as much as it is different from a fantasy and when such a possibility becomes an event, it becomes a fact and not an idea anymore. That is why I think Fact is closest binary pair of Idea in the sense of incompatibility. I also feel the conclusion a bit contrived.
Mar 4 2013: Nicely stated "'Idea' to me is a mental construction of a possibility" though it seems facts change. As per my evolving understanding by opposite it means: Example - Most closest opposite of Birth is Death - this is a fact and a construct within the language that one learns after first year of birth. So if one takes first year into consideration as Robert has already pointed out Blank-Slate is the opposite of these pair of opposites (Birth- Death). Yet when one goes into another dimension of deeper reflection - where one can easily recall all these three phases even the opposite Blank-slate dissolves into what is Presence !! as Reine stated or as Einstein says Intuitive Mind !! in a youtube link referenced by Don. Interestingly - all these deemed opposites are in Oneness with same origin revolving - and trains of IDEAS originating all the times !! . The Challenge is to distinguish Intuitive Ideas that doesn't flourishes in the domain of opposites only ( world manifested - with learnt language) but also equally applies to other domains - brings welfare to this extent. These domains are not external to one another though knowing these all and seeing application of an idea to all seems the ultimate. Just some thoughts...Mar 3 2013: Humbly !! I bow down before the knowledge , Love and wisdom shared by everyone. Thanks.

Mar 3 2013: How about - day-night; life-death; one word simple oppositesMar 3 2013: I think the non-idea does not exist and can not exist. because thinking (ideas), is another face of existance. great question thank you :)

Mar 3 2013: where this quote is coming from? not on this page as of nowMar 3 2013: this is becoming completely circular.
Mar 3 2013: True Reine Des Violettes! Considering the meaning of "idea", the question..."What is the opposite of "Idea " ?.....would naturally be circular. It is amuzing, and I suppose our clever facilitator knew this???

Mar 2 2013: Wouldn't dogma be another type of idea/ concept ?
Mar 2 2013: I was thinking of the definition
"A thought or suggestion as to a possible course of action."
"A concept or mental impression."
Mar 3 2013: That seems close - what could be a one word for that thought , please allow me to add a word - creative along with "course of action "
greg dahlen
Mar 2 2013: Lack of idea?
- +1
Mar 2 2013: Could thoughtless be a one word opposite to idea !! Can lack of. Ides be considered as a thought ?Mar 3 2013: yes, that's what I was thinking..absence of idea. In which case an idea is a presence.
if idea is taken in the broader context of meaning a 'a concept' (could be wordless) and so an entity of any kind, then perhaps its opposite would be true nothingness?
and death, I feel, is possibly the most powerful idea there is, (along with birth.) It is certainly extremely important...I have thought much about this, and wondered how different absolutely everything would be if it didn't matter whether we die or not. If we were really indifferent as to whether we live or not, - not when we choose, but any old time. (I don't mean the concept of dying in a detached and accepting way..the dying still means a lot here).
I find the idea of death being meaningless hard to conceive.
Mar 3 2013: " Idea is a presence " Beautifully stated Reine !! The only thing to add, it will be interesting to name it what Einstein / McGilchrist calls " Intuitive Gift" - InGi rather than just an idea as an opposite to idea because idea is circular with twin edges inside in it !! InGi seems out of binary pairs of opposites contained in Idea / concepts and Intutive gift - in itself is opposite to idea / concept - sharing to better evolve with your participation.
Comment deleted
Mar 16 2013: Sure idea and thought are related, thoughts are expressed using a language - verbal / nonverbal both ends, so would have opposites though it might be interesting to explore what is before a thought ? As a true opposite , If void meant Silence to you , then it seems that is part of thought onlyMar 14 2013: here is a conversation ....in modern context with modern minds trying to analyze it...of a Sage Avencenna's point ...by way of question to his students....it is what the Sufi refer to as "Turning the UNIVERSE INSIDE OUT"

We're a bit worse for wear but here's the photo gallery (above) from an epic night!
Late Night After The ASP Banquet We have a grip of photos from the 2009 ASP Awards Banquet, but it's late and really the wrong time to write captions about it…here's a few to hold you over until tomorrow:
Ooh lala! Hands down the hottest couple on the Gold Coast right now…misseur Jeremy Flores with his girl—Brazilian bombshell and 2009 Women's Tour Rookie Bruna Schmitz. Photo: Justin
#19 Dayyan Neve was the most stoked out of all the pros who we gave a New Era Top 45 trading card to and told us he collected footy player cards as a kid. We even got the Arabic translation of his name right on the back of the card right…buy a copy of the new issue for you own Top 45 trading cards. Photo: Justin
South African lion Jordy Smith seems to be stoked on his TransWorld SURF/New Era top 45 trading card…Photo: Justin
Bobby Martinez was psyched on his ASP Top 45 trading card until he saw some outdated sponsors on the back of it. Lo Siento compadre…Photo: Justin
Ace Buchan not only won (well, actually split with Adriano De Souza) the ASP's "Most Improved" award but also got handed his TransWorld SURF/New Era ASP Top 45 Trading Card. Talk about an Ace in the hole! Photo: Justin
Kai Barger looking like another World Champion with a Korean mama…Hines Ward from the world champion Pittsburgh Steelers! Kai brought his mom to the awards ceremony and made sure to thank her first thing when he got on stage. Photo: Justin
Duranbah is one of the funnest, most rippable beachbreaks in the world. You paddle out next to the jetty there and a rip takes you right out the back. From there, you catch rights off "the wall" as the locals call it, and go to town. Here's me, Chris, and Steve Sherman paddling out and talking to TWS Photog Tim "The Doctor" Jones who was shooting Parko and crew. Photo: Brian Bielmann/SPL
1PM A real photographer showed up today for us…the one and only Brian Bielmann! He got to work quick kine with some groovy underwater shots and some stuff of the local boys…check it out above.
11AM Hi there web-heads! Chris Cote here, just flew into Oz and I'm psyched! I got a row of seats all to myself, slept like a baby on the flight, and got a free ride to the beach from the airport—how good is that! There were a bunch of cool people on the flight including Steve Sherman (who gave me a ride to the beach), Jason Kenworthy, PT, and Travis (see the photo below) from Channel Island Surfboards. When we landed, Travis pulled four massive boardbags off the baggage thing and put them onto a huge baggage trolley. I asked him who's boards he brought and he gave me a laundry list of the worlds best—a few boards for Slater, two for Julian Wilson, two for Yadin Nicol, two for Dane, etc. If you figure those boards could sell in a shop for $1000 bucks, and he had 20 of them, then he was pretty much rolling $20,000 worth of surfboards through the airport!
A load of Merrick's with the names of the world's best surfers carved into their stringers makes it's way into Australia via the Brisbane Airport—which is definitely they way to go when flying to the Gold Coast as opposed to Sydney. And forget about flying Jet Star, they suck go with Virgin. Photo: Chris Cote
There goes the neighborhood! My little brother (and boss ironically enough) Chris Cote and the infamous photographer Steve Sherman show up to the TransWorld SURF Coolie compound well armed. We're headed to the ASP Awards Ceremony tonight…it's held up at Surfer's Paradise a 30-minute drive north from Coolangatta. Surfer's Paradise is like Vegas on the beach complete with seedy strip bars, casinos, and obnoxious drunks. We should fit right in. Did I mention I'm now sleeping with my boss/brother in the same Queen sized bed? Eww. Photo: Justin Cote

Hey all! This is my first ever blog, so be nice!
These are my opinions on the talent roster listed on the TNA website, as of 2:30pm UK time, 19th August!
ABYSS: Fantastic worker for a big man, better as a heel! solid on the mic, similar to Kane in that he doesn't need to be in the main event to play a big role for the company
AJ STYLES: Mr TNA. One of the best

Cringe-Worthy 90s Wedding Hairstyles
Don't get me wrong, the 90s is my favorite decade, but it wasn't exactly the Golden Age for hairstyles, and no one knew it at the time because everyone was perming their hair within an inch of it's life for the perfect look. In honor of Throwback Thursday, we've rounded up the best of the worst of the 90s that'll make you say, "What were they thinking?!"
Miss FrizzleNot even the pink rosette headband can contain these frizzed out curls.
Super Short BangsHair stylists in the 90s must have been scissor happy because so many brides fell prey to this trend.
TendrilsWhispy, curly tendrils were all the rage. For a more casual look, secure with butterfly clips.
A 90s ComboThe headband veil (won't it leave a nasty red imprint behind?!) and piled high curls we're the hit of the decade.
The Back of Your Head is RidiculousRattails never have been, nor ever will be an appropriate hairstyle, especially not at a wedding!
Business in the Front...Party in the back. Grooms in the 90s were just as guilty of hair insanity as their brides. This groom is rocking your classic mullet.
Bigger Was BetterWhile the bride's hair is pretty timeless and traditional hairstyle to balance out her thoroughly 90s dress, the bridesmaids weren't so lucky.
Celebs Weren't ImmuneBoth David and Victoria (ahem, Posh Spice) rocked some seriously 90s hair at their 1999 wedding. The internet will always remember her short spiky 'do and his boy band-esque bleach blond locks.

The Zimmerman Acquittal Isn't about "Stand Your Ground"
Yesteday, a jury in Sanford, Florida acquitted George Zimmerman, who had been charged with second-degree murder (with a lesser-included charge of mansluaghter) for shooting and killing the unarmed, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. That Zimmerman was not punished for kiling Martin is certainly disturbing. But it is disturbing for somewhat different reasons than much of the case's media coverage posits. The problem with the Zimmerman acquittal was not Florida's ill-conceived "stand your ground" law. The problem with the acquittal was not a racist and unreasonable jury, either. Rather, the acquittal of Zimmerman reflects something else equally serious and unsettling: the failure of the law in many states to keep up with the realities of America's gun culture. In a society in which many African-Americans are presumed to be criminals and large numbers of people carry concealed deadly weapons, some ways of defining self-defense (even if they do not entail a right to stand one's ground) may no longer be workable.
Although some media reports continue to assert that Florida's infamous "stand your ground" law was "central to Zimmerman's defense" during the trial, the defendant's team didn't even invoke it; Zimmerman's defense involved just standard self-defense. Under Florida law, the fact that Zimmerman initiated the conflict with Martin did not foreclose a self-defense claim if Zimmeran "reasonably believe[d] that he...[wa]s in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he...has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant."
This was the basis for Zimmerman's defense, and under Florida law it was the state's burden to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. (Intuitively, this may seem like a quirk of Florida law, but the vast majority of states place the burden of proof on the state to disprove a claim of self-defense.)
Having not watched every second of the trial, I am not prepared to say that the jury got it right. But I do think that on its face the jury's verdict wasn't unreasonable. It is far from obvious that the prosecution (which was unable to even articulate a coherent narrative of the night's events to counter Zimmerman's) met its burden of disproving Zimmerman's claim of self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. That it failed to reach a guilty verdict cannot be seen as evidence of white supremacy on the part of the jury.
To be clear, this doesn't mean that race didn't play a major role in the case. Trayvon Martin, guilty of nothing but walking on the street in a hoodie, was certainly killed because of racial profiling. And it is entirely possible that a trial of a poor African American killing a white man in similar circumstances would have played out differently (although the problem is not that the jury's acquittal of Zimmerman was unreasonable but that a poor African-American man would have been much less likely to receive a fair trial, particularly assuming he could not afford to hire his own counsel). It's easy to imagine a counterfactual case where a mostly white jury would have been less willing to credit a plausible self-defense claim if it came from an young African American man than a white man. To argue that the jury's verdict wasn't obviously wrong as a matter of law is not to argue that persistent racial inequities aren't relevant to the case in a number of ways.
But it is important not to lose sight of something else: the inadequacy of the law in most states to deal with America's gun culture. Carrying a deadly weapon in public should carry unique responsibilities. In most cases someone with a gun should not be able to escape culpability if he initiates a conflict with someone unarmed and the other party ends up getting shot and killed. Under the current law in many states, people threatened by armed people have few good options, because fighting back might create a license to kill. As the New Yorker's Amy Davidson puts it, "I still don't understand what Trayvon was supposed to do." Unless the law is changed to deal with the large number of people carrying concealed guns, there will be more tragic and unnecessary deaths of innocent people like Trayvon Martin for which nobody is legally culpable. And to make claims of self-defense easier to bring, as Florida and more than 20 other states have done, is moving in precisely the wrong direction. And, even more importantly, no matter how self-defense laws are structured the extremely unusual American practice of allowing large number of citizens to carry concealed weapons leads to many unecessary deaths. (All 50 states, it's worth noting, permit concealed carry.) Cases like the killing of Martin should compel reconsideration of the lack of significant gun control in the United States, but for whatever reason this isn't the lesson that most legislators are likely to draw.

The problem with the acquittal was not a racist and unreasonable jury, either.
Just a jury of Sanford residents who later must return to their community with the "right" verdict, and if they didn't, would be spending the rest of their lives (should they choose to remain in Sanford) wondering when white supremacists would catch up to them.
One wonders why Angela Corey didn't ask for a change of venue -- to Maine or Oregon.
And oh, by the way, those white supremacists donated $300,000 to George Zimmerman's legal defense fund. Maybe he can buy a ticket to his mother's home country, Peru, when the state of Florida returns to him his gun and passport.

Well, duh. That's my point. It'd take getting that far away for anything resembling objectivity or anonymity from/for the jurors to be achieved.
Unfortunately for justice in this case, it was a state case and the jurors had to answer to their neighbors, peers, and white supremacists as well as the court.

From the jury instructions, page 12:
If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in anyplace where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand hisground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it wasnecessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to preventthe commission of a forcible felony.
Obviously stand your ground was important to the judge, and this paragraph defined the limits of what the jury could consider. Florida is a shoot first, shoot to kill state, the jury was obligated to ground their decision in that fact.
Sun, 2013-07-14 18:09
You misunderstand the law. Under common law, a person must retreat when faced with less than deadly force. If there is no retreat possible, then the person can engage in lethal self-defense.
Stand your ground law -- in Florida -- takes away the duty to retreat.
Under common law, if an assailant jumps out of the bushes and calls me a name, I cannot shoot him if I can run away. If I am n a blind alley and assailant jumps out at me and threatens me and uses force to keep me in the alley or blocks my escape, then no retreat is possible and I can use deadly force.
Under Florida's new law, I NEVER have to look to retreat. If I think someone is threatening me (and a jury believes it is reasonable that I feel that way), then I can anyone down.

Thank you for your comment. If only the US could have a sensible discussion instead of partisan politics that distort what you wrote. Important to point out the "stand your ground" law was produced by the Republican legislative body ALEC and passed in a number of Republican controlled states. The juror who said Zimmerman's life was clearly in danger seemed to equate an adult carrying a concealed gun with an unarmed teenager near his home. This is only part of the revolution that is remaking the US by ALEC laws.

I think the jury ended up with the right verdict, there was clear 'reasonable doubt'. However, it does not mean that there should not be consequences for JZ's actions: I'm sure that the family of the victim will sue him 'OJ-Style' and take everything he owns and will own in future for his decisions to follow TvM, get in a confrontation, and carry a gun. What would have happened if he would have carried pepper spray instead?

Nicely stated, particularly the gun control point of the last paragraph that I wish had been up top. HOWEVER I disagree that stand your ground had no effect. It necessarily made its way into the jury instruction as the Florida definition of self-defense: "real. If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in anyplace where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to preventthe commission of a forcible felony." http://www.scribd.com/doc/153431863/George-Zimmerman-Jury-Instructions Stand your ground may also resurface as a defense to a wrongful death civil claim.

"Cases like the killing of Martin should compel reconsideration of the lack of significant gun control in the United States..."
I guess the "should" gets Lemieux off the hook, but this bland moralism is inexcusably out of touch with reality of never-going-to-happen.

"...was certainly killed because of racial profiling."
Given what evidence? Easy to chastise the jury for not being as omniscient as the author, but they had a different job to do. The author's job is to foment emotion; as such facts are merely inconveniences. Unlike the omniscient author, the jury is obligated to deal with facts.
Wed, 2013-07-17 10:44
There were perhaps over 100 Zimmerman tapes and only a few were allowed in court when he called the police and used racial slurs. He says he is following one of them or words to that effect. Clearly he was using racial profiling and had been doing this for a long time.
Wed, 2013-07-17 13:02
...records released last Thursday by the FBI reveal that interviews with 35 people involved with Zimmerman, including current and former co-workers, neighbors and an ex-girlfriend, yielded no evidence that racial bias was a motivating factor.
Dang pesky facts! Evidence can be dismissed; it is feelings that count! (Seriously, if you sincerely believe in your position, don't let any facts get in the way of the emotion that underpins your venom.)

Exactly what comments (quotes are nice) on two tapes? And not either doctored NBC-ed tapes, or paraphrases from the NYT. The FBI and DOJ have been desperately digging for ANY evidence so Zimmerman can be charged with anything -- you may be able to help them out! :-)

People accusing Zimmerman of racial bias are extremely allergic to producing any actual quotes from the trial.
Does Scoot Lemieux thinks that Roderick Scott shouldn't have been acquitted under self-defense. You know, the guy who left his house with a gun, actually DID initiate a confrontation with unarmed teens ACROSS the street, and shot one of them dead, before the other guy had even laid a hand on him. And Roderick Scott arguably HAD the ability to retreat, unlike Zimmerman who was on his back with Trayvon on top.
By the way, Roderick Scott was black, the teen he shot, Christopher Cervini, was 17-year old, unarmed and white. Where's all the outcry that "Roderick Scott killed a CHILD" or "he should have stayed in his HOUSE"? Where're all the blog posts drumming up outrage by linking to a photo of Cervini's corpse (paging Josh Marshall).
Conservatives *supported* Roderick Scott and I haven't heard liberals vilify him as a child-killing monster. Far as I know, he's not in hiding or deluged with death threats.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Demolished Dive Mars Bar Could Return
A third wave of mourning for dear departed dive Mars Bar crested yesterday when news broke that TD Bank had signed a lease at the former site of the punk-drunk-artist-squatter-hanger on haunt whose closure and demolition in 2011 was seen by many as (yet another) nail in the once-scruffy East Village's burnished coffin.
Now, a source familiar with the deal tells us that the lease includes a second retail space whose future tenant could assume the notorious Mars Bar's trade name and liquor license. The development company BFC Partners reached an agreement with the Mars Bar crew that would allow the next commercial tenant to occupy a 4,456-square-foot basement and ground floor space under the proud, stubborn and–who knew?–business-minded Mars Bar auspices.

Discussion in 'Fly Fishing Forum' started by Breck, Oct 31, 2013.
Wasnt it Dustin Bise who had a bad run of finding bodies whole fishing a couple years back?
I know John Farrar found a "floater" once. My neighbor was with him.
I seem to remember having some involvement in that incident....
A few years ago, a guy (Mr. Rxxxx) was being investigated for moving the river channel around with his bulldozer on the Sauk and it was all over the news. All of us in Pugetropolis were shiskabobbing the guy and he'd had enough of us city folk. They walked in a long ways to find me and made it real clear that I tell all my friends that they own the land all the way from the mill in Darrington to the bridge below the Suiattle. I had a long conversation with the guys back at my truck trying to explain myself and understand where they were coming from.
I didn't post it all over the boards because, in a way, I understood where he was coming from. Didn't agree with it but understood. Furthering the divide between us city slickers and people in the rural areas doesn't do anybody any good. Best that I was just respectful and opened a bit of a conversation with them. They've seen the onslaught of us fly flingers over the past couple decades who think we are God's gift all things environmental and they wanted to make a point. I wasn't on their land but was in their world.
very interesting pt thanks for the share
My closest "spooky" one was the time I hooked a sunken burlap bag that had a dead baby pig in it.
I remember that.
Fishing Puget Sound alone in a float tube at dusk.....legs dangling down over who knows what. I thought about it too much and ended up doing a bit of a panic paddle in....which made me think panicking would attract a predator more....which made me panic more. I was laying on shore panting with my belly boat still on my waist and I look up and see a guy sitting on a log smoking a pipe......he just said "The hell was all that about?"
That seriously made me laugh out loud.....because I've been there!
Except I was in a lake (I hate lakes), with murky water, and my leg bumped a log under the surface. Now, for most people, this would be no big deal, however, I am not most people. I conjured up all kinds of ideas on what that bump could have been...enough to make me "panic paddle" back to shore and promptly sell my float tube to my buddy for next to nothing. Haven't been in one since...and I still hate lakes.
I came across this years back on the upper Sol Duc, inside the national forest. Kinda spooked me alittle bit. It was pretty far off the beaten path. No one was home this visit. I went back the following summer and the winter flows had completely destroyed it all together, nothing remained.
Yup....I don't know if it is that my dad made me watch Jaws or Creature from the Black Lagoon when I was a kid or what, but there is nothing like that moment where it gets under your skin and you just loose all rational thought. I still laugh about it, and get chills. I can't even imagine what it looked like to watch.
There's one little lake in the middle of nowhere that always spooks me for some reason. I float the columbia all the time, even at night. Other high country lake don't spook me at all, even after dusk. But for some reason that lake always has, even in broad daylight. I think it has alot to do with being on the tip-top of mountain, in a crater. I always have visions of the beginning of that movie, Dante's Peak, where that lake starts boiling all of a sudden. Part of if may be that, though this is a very small, natural lake, I can't find bottom most places with 100 feet of anchor rope.
The only time I made it up there this year I found it barren(or appearing to be). First time ever I didn't get into very good sized 'bows. And to boot, I ended up sliding into the lake and getting stuck like chuck. No getting out without a winch. Luckily, for how far out I was, I managed to get cell service after only walking a half-mile. I was camping with my dad about 20 miles away, but he had enough knowledge of the area to find the place. No signs mark the road to this lake. If you didn't know any better, you'd just think it was another of dozens of dirt tracks identical to it.
Was fishing a small lake in NZ last year out of a Watermaster. Working my way down a shoreline with lots of downed timber. Thought I had run into a submerged log and moved off a bit. Then something bumped me again. Looked down to see an eel about 4 feet long trying to get a taste of my leg. Illogical but scared the stuffing out of me. Wouldn't leave me alone until I kicked it with a fin. Later deduced that I had put a hole in my waders and whatever scent I was putting out was interesting to him.
Oh man, that's nightmare fuel right there. Thanks.

I was fishing the Madison last Aug, working my way up the bank toward my friend when I noticed I was being stalked by a huge angry beaver. I increased my pace, the beaver increased his and started to close distance. About 10 feet downstream of my fishing partner, I bid the customary "catch anything" to which he responded, "nope." I made a tactical move around and past him, placing my good friend between me and the angry beaver and bid him luck as I rounded the bend. It took a few seconds before I heard the ycommotion. I never realized ole Jim could run that fast. Normally I would not put a beaver in the "scary" class but this one was huge with buck teeth and beady eyes. I warned ole Jim about casting from atop of beaver lodges but he would not listen.....
When I lived in your state I used to fish alone most of the time. I was up on the N/F Sauk one time beating my way through the brush when I came upon a small wooden hut like this one. Why it was there I couldn't fathom. But I never went back to that spot, But I still fished the N/F Sauk. I just never worried as to what was around there.
This is a great thread! I was wading the Skagit for the first time a while back, river left, on the outside of a hard right hand bend, so there was already a good current. Suddenly, a wall of water and a wave are coming at me fast from nowhere. There were a couple seconds of panic and backpedaling for shore, thinking all sorts of scary sh!t, before I realized there were multiple dams upriver releasing water. What an idiot...
And then there was the run-in with the machete wielding, backwoods gold miner way out on the SF Stilli... That one was a bit scary.
I fished the Russian River in Alaska years ago with three friends. On the drive in, I noticed a nice little stream (Quartz Creek). We fished the Russian for a couple of days along with 500 other fishermen, two brown bears and several black bears - not my kind of fishing.
I talked my friends into grabing our 5wts and heading back to try that creek. It was a beautful little stream and there wasn't another fisherman in sight. That creek ended up having some nice sized Dollies and Rainbows that were easy to catch using an egg pattern.
My friend and I were downstream and out of sight of my other friends, when I noticed the water I was standing in, turn blood red. I watched the reaction of my fishing partner, who was downstream of me, when the discolored water reached him. He immediately stopped fishing and looked at me and asked "What the fuck is that?". I could only shake my head. We talked about what it could have been - a lot of things were discussed. We were both thinking something really bad must have happened to one or both of our partners upstream (probably involving a large brown bear). We had no choice but to head back upstream to see what had happened - both certain we were to come upon the grisly remains of our friends.
So.....What was it?
Oh, it ended up being our imaginations running wild.
We found our friends alive and well, just soaking wet. One of my friends had slipped while wading across a particularly hairy spot - his partner tried to catch him and they both went for a swim. They had dredged up a bunch of silt and vegetation, which changed the water to a ruddy brown color. My friend and I both agreed that it looked a lot redder when we saw the water change color when we were downstream. We fished awhile longer, but the whole time I kept peering into the thick brush and listening for the sound of the large brown bear who was sizing me up.

Kremslehner Hotels cultural package - For 1 or 2 people - For 3 NightsFrom €125 Price per night

My wife and I enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Hotel Regina immensely. The ethos of the hotel is traditional conservative offering big rooms, traditional furniture (much wood and leather),a civilised and friendly type of service. We enjoyed eating there. Additionally the location of the hotel was perfect for our taste - central Vienna without the noisy hustle and bustle : the hotel is situated at one side of a substantial park (Sigmund Freud park), next to an extraordinary church, very close to the main university building and less than 200m from main tram lines to get around the city.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi EM Road M 3 Running Shoe:
I bought these shoes to rotate with two other Pearl Izumi shoes for my road training. These shoes are everything you need and nothing you don't. They have just enough mid foot pronation support without unnecessary "technology" plastered all over them. They are an excellent example of the "natural running" movement's positive impact on cushioned shoe design. I'm very, very pleased. This review is for the MEN's shoe. There seems to be an issue with the listing on RRS.

I have had these for two weeks and so far so good. Ran a very hilly 5 miles the other day and felt like a breeze. I was a loyal Mizuno owner and decided to branch out. So far they feel great.

Top Gear in 2007
All the covers and quotes from another year in the life of Top Gear mag
Posted: 08 Oct 2013
Top Gear Magazine in 2007
Clarkson in 2007: "James May may or may not snore.
It's hard to say for sure because the farting is so incessant and so loud that you can hear nothing else. He is a sinus and an arse hole.''
Top Gear Car of The Year: Audi R8
"I've never made any bones about the R8. It is pretty special. I definitely remember saying something of the sort in these very pages last summer. It looks astonishing, goes, stops and corners like it has rewritten the laws of physics, and it is built like a nuclear bunker. In many ways, there's no argument against it winning the TopGear Magazine Car of The Year award for 2007." JC
Three cars from 2007
"It remains that the M3 is a very special car. A car that can be driven by the legions of rich people who just want the top-spec 3-Series. A car that can be driven without making anyone sweat enough to make their fake tan run. But it's also a car that's furious enough to make you realise that when it comes to making fast saloon cars, BMW really knows where it's doing. Bring on the group tests, bring on the awards discussion meetings - I'll bring the M3." September 2007
Aston Martin DBS
"Great on the road, merely alright on the track? Better that way, for sure. And the DBS is way ahead of the Vanquish in both disciplines. It's beautiful to look at, beautifully built and mostly, beautiful to drive. All the expected, soul-stirring Aston boxes have been ticked. But though this is the first car to be launched into Aston Martin's brave new Ford-free world, it feels more like the end of a chapter than the start of a new one. Despite Dr. Bez's protestations, some people suspect that Aston has lost the plot with the DBS. It hasn't. But it's surely time for a new one." November 2007
Lamborghini Reventon
"It's not a track car. Not a Ferrari, not even a Porsche. It's a sculpture, and that's what it looks like from outside and within, as it hunkers down onto the track to prove what it certainly can do, but will never have to. It's not a road car, either. Too wide, too low and with a ride so hard in genuinely hurts, it taunts you with its potential as you thread it through villages, scattering wide-eyed, zombie-like citizens and extremely curious law-enforces. Then you quickly take it home, polish it once more and ease it into your temperature-controlled garage, or better still, art gallery." December 2007
The best-selling car of 2007: Ford Focus
The best-selling song of 2007: Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
And elsewhere in the world in 2007: A student shoots and kills 32 students at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute before committing suicide; the final book in J.K Rowling's Harry Potter series is released, and quickly becomes the fastest-selling book in history; and the first iPhone is released to the public.

The gray trend in interior design is going strong. For a color that has many negative (or at least drab) connotations attached to it – Webster's Dictionary defines it as "dull," "dreary," "dismal," "old" and "vague" – gray has recently proven to be one of the most exciting hues in interior design. No wonder: There are myriad shades and tints of gray available, creating limitless possibilities for use in decorating. But how can you be sure you're using gray to its fullest potential? Here are some tips for incorporating it into your designs.
Choose your gray carefully to suit the mood you want to achieve. For a supposedly neutral color, gray can have an enormous impact on the tone of a room. Grays with brown or green undertones give a room a warmer, comfier tone than those with hints of blue or purple. Charcoal gray can lend the sophistication and mystery of black, without the gloom. And shiny or silvery gray can ooze cosmopolitan glamour.
Use gray judiciously. Too much of it could make a room look bland or too subdued. But on one wall, or in countertops and appliances, it can add calm, gravitas or even a sexy, urban-industrial feel, depending on the shade you choose.
Contrast it with a striking color (or colors) for ultimate impact. Pair light gray with pastels for a feminine look or dark gray with darker colors to make the room feel more masculine. Use gray to showcase any favorite color. "The one thing I like and appreciate about gray is that it is the true neutral color," says Masami Overstreet of mail-order company Wisteria. It won't affect other colors and allows their true color to show. For dramatic effect, use gray walls as a backdrop for furniture and accessories in bold, bright colors.
Experiment with textures. Furnishings retailer West Elm currently sells wooden furniture with gray finish, including coffee tables, beds and wood-framed mirrors. Not only does a gray finish lend versatility to furniture, it makes the natural grain of the wood stand out. And gray silky fabrics can have a sheen and fluidity that adds chic to any room. Nebraska-based designer Aaron Carlson says that smoother gray surfaces have a more formal feel, while rougher textures tend to seem more informal.
Best of all, since gray complements so many colors, a room with a gray foundation can be given a whole new look just by replacing the accessories with new colors. So get creative with it, and who knows – maybe the next edition of Webster's will have a whole new definition for "gray."

The sixth annual NMCA/NMRA Super Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing returned to Route 66 Raceway (Joliet, Illinois) this past summer. The two sanctioning bodies once again pitted the class winners of the NMCA-Flowmaster series against the Mustang class winners of the NMRA-Keystone sanctioning body in a staged index-based dual. The situation is this: both racing series run separately all weekend long and on Sunday, once the eliminations are over, all the class winners head back to the staging lanes. NMCA and NMRA officials pair the categories against each other in a pre-determined listing. Essentially the officials pair up the corresponding classes, like Pro Street against NMRA's Pro Outlaw. The cars are run off using staggered starts based on an index but there is no breakout like in index or bracket racing. The index for each racer is their quickest pass of the weekend.
The announcers keep score as each pair heads down track—if you win your pairing you win a cash bonus prize from NMRA/NMCA. The team who collects the most wins is declared the Super Bowl winner and each competitor on the team gets a Nitto Tire Diamond Tree gold ring. These are the same rings that are issued to the class champions in both NMRA and NMCA at the end of the year. This year, unfortunately, the Mustangs were on their game and took home the team challenge. But fear not, there was plenty of other action in which the Bow Tie brigade flexed its muscles.
We've been on the 5-Second Pro Street watch since Atlanta and we almost saw it go down at the Maryland event this past spring. The NMCA racers, unfortunately, rolled out of Illinois with a vacant spot on the inaugural line of the 5-Second Club. The historic barrier might not have been broken but the packed field of 17 entries trying to get into the 16-car qualified field offered exciting and tight racing. Sitting on top of the ladder was legendary racer Randy Adler and his A-Team Speed Shop–backed '57 Chevy. The slick-looking Tim McAmis constructed machine is owned by Lynwood Wood and A-Team supplied the 521ci Hemi engine, complete with a massive Roots supercharger. Adler ran a career best of 6.001 at 237 mph but he was in tight company as the next five entries were within a few tenths of a second of his record run.
Adler took on the nitrous-gulping competitors and turbocharged onslaught as he snagged his first NMCA victory in 2011. The local hero would face Dan Stevenson and his Reher-Morrison–powered '70 Camaro in the final round. Stevenson shook hard and lifted while Adler manhandled his '57 to the stripe; taking the victory with a 6.30 at 228 mph. Chris Rini drove the ATI Performance–backed '69 Camaro into the semifinals and ran consistently in the 6-teens all weekend long. Joe Dunne and Vincent Demieri both had a weekend they would like to forget. Demieri had a problem with an O-ring on his cylinder head and it wouldn't remain sealed under pressure and Dunne fought tire-shake.

Rand Paul has a quite a few warts, but I'd rather be in his corner than any commie leftist, or Democrat (but I repeat myself) all day EVERY day.
So when John McCain says that Hillary Clinton vs. Rand Paul is a "tough choice," I look at that statement, then I look at his daughter Meghan, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that stupidity is hereditary.
I've never been a fan of McCain...NEVER. The man was and is everything...EVERYTHING that's wrong with the Republican Party today, and it's time he be flushed down his namesake.
