PERSONSOrestes, Son of Agamemnon. Pylades, Friend of Orestes Chorus of Captive Women. Electra, Sister of Orestes. Nurse of Orestes. Clytemnestra, Mother of Orestes. Ægisthus. Servant. Sceneas in the preceding piece. The Tomb of Agamemnon in the centre of the Stage. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS"Good, how good, when one who dies unjustly leaves a son behind him To avenge his death!" —Odyss. iii. 196, As a composition, the Choephoræ is decidedly inferior both to the Agamemnon which precedes, and the Eumenides which follows it; and the poet, as if sensible of this weakness, following the approved tactics of rhetoricians and warriors, has dexterously placed it in a position where its deficiencies are least observed. At the same time, in passing a critical judgment on this piece we must bear in mind two things—first, that some parts of this play that appear languid, long-drawn, and ineffective to us who read, may have been overflowing with the richest emotional power in their living musical exhibition; and, secondly, that many parts, especially of the choral chaunts, have been so maimed and shattered by time that the modern commentator is perhaps as much chargeable with the faults of the translation as the ancient tragedian.

NOTES TO THE CHOEPHORÆHere we have a notable example of the terms of that sort of excommunication which the religious and social feeling of the ancients passed against the perpetrators of atrocious crimes. See Introductory Remarks to the Eumenides.
PERSONSThe Pythoness of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. Apollo. Hermes (Mute). The Shade of Clytemnestra. Chorus of Furies. Pallas Athena. Judges of the Court of Areopagus (Mute). Convoy of the Furies. Scene—First at Delphi in the Temple of Apollo; then on the Hill of Mars, Athens. INTRODUCTORY REMARKSΠολλὰ κατηρατο, στυγερὰς δ' ἐπίκεκλετ Εριννῠς, In order to understand thoroughly the situation of the matricide Orestes, in the present play, we must consider further the ancient doctrine of pollution attaching to an act of murder, and the consequent necessity of purification to the offender. The nature of this is distinctly set forth by Orestes himself in a reply to his sister Iphigenia, put into his mouth by Euripides. "Loxias," he says, "first sent me to Athens, and
Like an unclean leper among the Jews, the man polluted with human blood wandered from land to land, as with a Cain's mark upon his brow, and every fellow-being shrank from his touch as from a living plague.
But Æschylus is not a patriot only, and a pious worshipper of his country's gods in this play, he is also, to some small extent at least, manifestly a politician. The main feature of the constitutional history of Athens in the period immediately following the great Persian war, to which period our trilogy belongs, was the enlargement and the systematic completion of those democratic forms, of which the timocratic legislation of Solon, about a century and a-half before, had planted the first germs. Of these changes, Pericles, the man above all others who knew both to understand and to control his age, was the chief promoter; and in a policy whose main tendency was the substitution of a numerous popular for a narrow professional control of public business, it could not fail to be a main feature, that the authority of the judges of the old aristocratic courts was curtailed in favour of those bodies of paid jurymen, the institution of which is specially attributed to Pericles and his coadjutor Ephialtes.† Whether these changes were politic or not, in the large sense of that word, need not be inquired here; Mr. Grote has done much to lengthen the focus of those short-sighted national spectacles, through which the English eye has been accustomed to view the classic democracies; but let it be that Pericles kept within the bounds of a wise liberty in giving a fair and a large trial to the action of democratic principles at that time and place; or let it be, on the other hand, that he overstepped the line
in either case, where decision was so difficult, and discretion so delicate, no one can accuse the thoughtful tragic poet of a stolid conservatism, when he comes forward, in this play, as the advocate of the only court of high jurisdiction in Athens, now left unshaken by the great surge of those popular billows, that were yet swelling everywhere with the eager inspiration of Marathon and Salamis.* The court of Areopagus was not now, since the legislation of Solon, and the further democratic movement of Cleisthenes, in any invidious or exclusive sense an aristocratic assembly, such as the close corporations of the old Roman aristocracy before the series of popular changes introduced by Licinius Stolo; it was a council, in fact, altogether without that family and hereditary element, in which the principal offence of aristocracy has always lain; its members were composed entirely (not recruited merely like our House of Lords) of those superior magistrates—archons annually elected by the people—who had retired from office. To magnify the authority of such a body, and maintain intact the few privileges that had now been left it, was, when an obvious opportunity offered, not only excusable in a great national tragedian, but imperative. One thing his political attitude in this matter certainly proves, that he was not a vulgar hunter after popularity, delighting to swell to the point of insane exaggeration the cry of the hour, but one of those men of high purpose, who prove a greater strength of patriotism by stemming the popular stream, than by swimming with it. Besides the championship of the Court of the Areopagus, there is another political element in this rich drama, which, though of less consequence, must not be omitted. No sooner had the Persian invaders been fairly driven back from the Hellenic shore, than that old spirit of narrow local jealousy, which was the worm at the heart of Grecian political existence, broke out with renewed vigour, and gave ominous indications in the untoward affair of Tanagra, of that terrible collision which shook the two great rival powers a few years afterwards in the famous Peloponnesian war. Sparta and Athens, opposed as they were by race, by geographical position, and by political character, after some public attempts at co-operation, in which Cimon was the principal actor, shrunk back, as in quiet preparation for the great trial of strength, into a state of isolated antagonism. But, though open hostility was deferred, wise precaution could not sleep; and, accordingly, we find the Athenians, about this time, anxious to secure a base of operations, so to speak, against Sparta in the Peloponnesus, by entering into an alliance with Argos. As a genuine Athenian, Æschylus, whatever his political feelings might be towards Cimon and the Spartan party, could not but look with pleasure on the additional strength which this Argive connection gave to Athens in the general council of Greece; and, accordingly, he dexterously takes advantage of the circumstance of Orestes being an Argive, to trace back the now historical union of the two countries to a period where Fancy is free to add what links she pleases to the brittle bonds of international association Such is a rapid sketch of the principal religious and political relations, some notion of which is necessary to enable the general English reader to enter with sympathy on the perusal of the very powerful and singular drama of the Eumenides The professional student, of course, will not content himself with what he finds here, but will seek for complete satisfaction in the luminous pages of Thirlwall and Grote—in the learned articles of Dr. Smith's Dictionary of Antiquities, in the notes of Schoemann, and, above all, in the rare Dissertations of Ottfried Muller, accompanying his edition of the Eumenides—a work which I have read once and again with mingled admiration and delight—from which I have necessarily drawn with no stinted hand in my endeavours to comprehend the Orestean trilogy for myself, and to make it comprehensible to others; and which I most earnestly recommend to all classical students as a pattern-specimen of erudite architecture raised by the hand of a master, from whom, even in his points of most baseless speculation (as what German is without such?), more is to be learned than from the triple-fanged certainties of vulgar commentators. [* ]Hermes, or Mercury, in his capacity of guide of the dead (ψυχοπομπός) is here called Χθόνιος, or subterranean. [* ]Iphigenia. [* ]Proserpine. [* ]See Note 64 to Agamemnon. [* ]Hermes or Mercury. See Notes 55 and 56 above. [* ]The Gorgon Medusa. [† ]Agamemnon and Electra. [* ]The Furies.—See next piece.
And again—
Compare the beautiful passage on the Greek mythology in Wordsworth's Excursion, Book IV.
"There is a proverb, Δο̂υλε δεσποτωˆν ἄκουε καὶ δίκαια καὶ αδικα. Slave hear thy master whether right or wrong." —Scholiast.
The χοα̂ισι πρισπόνδαισι, being the wine, water, and milk, particularised in the above extract from Homer. Compare Virgil's Æn. V. 78, and St. Augustine's Confessions vi. 2, with regard to his mother's offering at the tombs of the martyrs—pultes et panem et merum.
from v. 162 to this place, where the initial words are plainly wanting. "Hermes is invoked here as the great mediator between the living and the dead."—Kl. "Herald me in this"—κηρύξας 'εμοι—perform a herald's function to me in this, the verb chosen with special reference to the name κήρυξ, according to the common practice of the Greek writers. In the second line below, I can have no hesitation in adopting Stan.'s emendation of ὸωμάτων for ομμάτων. Ahrens (in Fr) has tried to make the passage more pregnant by reading ἁιμάτων, but this scarcely seems such an obvious emendation.
[Note 14 (p. 103)] [Note 15 (p. 104)]
mentioned above as having been thrown back by Hermann to the commencement of Electra's address over the tomb of her father, immediately preceding the short choral ode. It is literally translated by E. P., Oxon.—
but comes in quite awkwardly, and manifestly out of place.
evidently modelled on Odys. xix. 225.
answers to the opening words of our own solemn addresses to the Supreme Being—Almighty God Justice, again, belongs to Jove as the highest moral attribute; and this conjunction we find also very distinctly expressed in Homer.
Another way of squeezing a meaning from the line is to refer it to Agamem non—
The other translations proposed are meagre and unpoetical.
The gloomy state of the dead in Hades is pictured yet more darkly, by saying that the night, which covers them, is all that serves them for day
But the parallel most striking to the present passage occurs in the address of Ulysses to Achilles, Odyssey XI 482—
To which address the hero gave the well-known reply, a reply characteristic at once of his own tremendous energy, and of the Greek views of a future state:—
Neither this "Earth," nor my "Furies," can be looked on as part of the text. They are only put in to fill up a gap, where nothing better can be done.
[Note 35 (p 112)] [Note 36 (p. 113)]
and with him give the four lines to the Chorus. A very obvious and natural sense is thus brought out, besides that καὶ μὴν naturally indicates a change of person
In imitation of which, the
of Horace has become proverbial. In modern times, the pages of the Times newspaper will supply more ample and various illustrations of the same great truth than the most learned ancient could have collected. In England especially, the strong nature of the Saxon shows something Titanic, both in feats of mechanical enterprise and in crime.
So a friend who was in Paris, at the time of the Revolution in 1848, wrote to me—"With the men I can easily manage, but the women are tigers."
[Note 53 (p 119)]
evidently from the reading of Paw.— [Note 58 (p. 122).]
"In general it was accounted a great misfortune by the Greeks to die childless (ἄπαιδα γηράσκειν, Eurip Ion 621). And at Athens there was a law making it imperative on an heir to afford aliment to his mother."—Klausen.
So Telemachus says to his mother; and on other occasions he uses what we should think, rather sharp and undutiful language—but in Greece a woman who left the woman's chamber without a special and exceptional call subjected herself to just rebuke. With regard to the matter here at issue between Orestes and Clytemnestra, Kl. notes that, though the wandering Ulysses is allowed without blame to form an amorous alliance with Calypso, the same excuse is not allowed for the female sitting quietly in her "upper chamber" (ὑπερώιον, Il. II. 514) as Homer has it. For "in ancient times," says the Scholiast to that passage, "the Greeks shut up their women in garrets (ὑπερ τονˆ δυσεντεύκτους ἀυτάς [Editor: illegible character]ιναι) that they might be difficult to get at."—How Turkish! [Note 62 (p 126)]
And in the opening lines of the Œdipus Tyrannus, the old King asks the Chorus—
and so in a thousand places of the poet To the spectator, however, in the theatre, spiritual beings must be visible, because (as Muller, Eumen 3, properly remarks) they are the very persons from before whose eyes it is the business of the poet to remove the veil that interposes between our everyday life and the spiritual world. That the Furies of the following piece were seen bodily at this part of the present play, and are not supposed to exist merely in the brain of Orestes, is only what a decent regard for common poetical consistency on the part of a great tragic poet seems to imply.

FASNY: Spring into safety at home and at work
With daylight savings time beginning on Sunday at 2 a.m., New Yorkers move their clocks forward one hour (to 3 a.m. local daylight time). It is the ideal time to safeguard the home and workplace from preventable tragedy, says the Firemen's Association of the State of New York. FASNY urges everyone to check the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to make sure they are functioning, and replace the batteries, if needed. FASNY also recommends people dust or vacuum the detectors to keep them free of debris.
The National Fire Protection Association states that, in more than one-third of home fire deaths, no smoke alarms were present. In one-quarter of home fire deaths, smoke alarms were present, but did not sound, and 36 percent of fatal fire victims never wake up before being injured.
National Grid offers customers tips to manage energy usage and winter bills

As snow and frigid temperatures remain in the forecast, National Grid reminds its upstate New York customers to take steps to make their homes and businesses more energy-efficient and better manage their energy bills. While furnaces may be working harder, these tips can help save energy in other ways.
Additionally, www.nationalgridus.com is offering money-saving offers and rebates on heating, cooling, hot water systems and more.
AAA advises drivers and pedestrians as daylight saving time begins
With daylight saving time beginning Sunday, March 9, at 2 a.m., Americans will "spring forward" and set their clocks ahead one hour. Losing an hour of sleep and the change in daylight hours means motorists may potentially experience drowsy driving and added distractions on the road.
"Though most are looking forward to this winter ending, we must remember the time change may affect habits when behind the wheel," said Tony Spada, president and CEO of AAA Western and Central New York. "Depending upon your drive times, you could be facing darker early mornings or driving into the rising sun, not to mention driving home in the setting sun."
In addition to the change of daylight, children, pedestrians, joggers, walkers and bicyclists will likely be more active outdoors.
National park tourism in New York state creates $446.4 million in economic benefit
New report shows visitor spending supports 4,885 jobs in New York
A new National Park Service report shows 12,627,820 visitors to national parks in New York state spent $446.4 million and supported 4,885jobs in the state in 2012.
"The national parks of New York state attract visitors from across the country and around the world," said Mike Caldwell, NPS northeast regional director. "Whether they are out for an afternoon, a school field trip, or a family vacation, visitors come to have a great experience, and end up spending a little money along the way. This new report shows that national park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy - returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service - and a big factor in our state's economy as well - a result we can all support."

Rutland Police say they have made an arrest in one of the smash-and-grab type thefts that have occurred recently in the city's downtown.
Police said Tuesday they charged Shawn M. Ritchie, 39, of Rutland, with unlawful mischief and petty larceny for allegedly breaking into a car parked outside the American Legion on Washington Street.
Ritchie was cited to appear in Rutland criminal court next week, police said.
Police say they have received a handful of complaints during the last week from people whose locked vehicles have been broken into downtown. Purses and electronics devices have been reported stolen.
Ritchie is charged with only one of those thefts but police say the other cases remain under investigation.MORE IN This Just InRutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

Posted: 11:10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 26, 2012
By Daryn Kagan
When you get an invitation to party with a superstar, you grab it. That much I know.
And by "superstar" I don't mean some overhyped celebrity more impressed with their fame than what it truly means to be great. Been there; done that. Spent enough time with those types.
Rather, I'm thinking of a little lady who could open a school for greatness and teach quite a few lessons on magnificence and overcoming obstacles.
Celeste Elizabeth Simon, also known as "Chella," is living one incredible life.
When her mom, Heather, was only 25 weeks pregnant, doctors told her parents it was time for their daughter to come on out. It was a combination of Heather's screamingly high blood pressure and things going south inside her womb.
"They told us her best and only chance at that point was out, not in," Heather told me two weeks ago.
Twenty-five weeks? In holiday turkey cooking parlance, that is a little over half-baked, which is exactly what most people might think of the chances of such a premie surviving, let alone thriving. She weighed a whopping 1 pound, 3 ounces. She was only 12 inches long.
"My family said Chella looked like baby sparrow you could see through," dad Keith remembered.
"Her tiny fingers were still webbed," Heather said. "There were only tiny holes where her ears were supposed to be."
It's hardly the way you want to send your kid on her way. Indeed, since her birth there have been huge challenges including nine months in neonatal intensive care, open-heart surgery and almost three years of keeping Chella inside, away from scary germs that could've killed her.
"She's been a baby in a bubble," Keith said.
And yet, this is the kid who refuses to give up. Despite what her mom says is "just a touch of cerebral l palsy, she's learned to walk and talk, doing it as she does all things — on her timetable, not some chart in the pediatrician's office.
When you look in her hazel green eyes you see an old soul with 1,000 years of wisdom looking back.
This birthday, her third, was the first that Chella was able to have a birthday party.
Like any diva, she knew exactly what she wanted: a Popcorn Princess Party.
We happen know Chella because my husband and her dad play together in what we women refer to as The Old Man's Baseball League.
With the coveted invitation to the Popcorn Princess Party in hand, we packed up our kids and drove an hour to their small town. This is who I want my kids to see. This is what not giving up and fighting for your life looks like.
There was the little lady of honor sporting a red ruffley party dress and a red feather in her hair. She showed off her newly pierced ears, ears that grew as she did inside that incubator.
Those formerly-webbed fingers are now long and busy as she entertained family and friends banging on a piano keyboard and singing made-up songs.
How far will she go? What will her limitation ultimately be? Who's really to say?
"I just know she's here for something special," Keith told me over the birthday cake shaped like a giant bowl of popcorn. "She's already touched and inspired so many people in her short life. I'm just so excited to be along for her incredible ride."
I know two things. I'd never bet against this kid. And any time I'm lucky enough to get an invitation to one of her birthday parties, I'll be there.

Sometimes an article comes along that hits all of my social worker buttons. From Eureka Alert, this is one of them. We all know that women across the US do not all receive the same high quality care that we have in Boston. This research from LSU, however, pins the blame for that pretty squarely on poverty. Here is the beginning and then a link:
LSUHSC research finds many women not receiving recommended breast cancer adjuvant treatment
New Orleans, LA - A first-of-its kind study led by Xiao-Cheng Wu, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Public Health at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, reports that a significant number of women are not receiving guideline-recommended treatment for breast cancer and what factors contribute. The research is published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology December 5, 2011 Early Release section.
The research team, which also included Vivien Chen, PhD, Professor and Director of the Louisiana Tumor Registry at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans School of Public Health, explored how race/ethnicity, insurance status, poverty, education, and hospital type were associated with the delivery of guideline-recommended adjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancers. Adjuvant systemic therapies like chemotherapy, a regimen of a group of specific chemotherapy drugs, and hormone therapy often follow an initial treatment like surgery to treat cells that may be too small to be seen and to reduce the chances of recurrence. Decisions about whether or not adjuvant systemic therapies are indicated, and which type, are determined by lymph node status, histology, tumor size, grade, and hormonal receptor status. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines were developed to improve cancer care and survival.
For this very large study of 6,734 women using Pattern of Care data from population-based cancer registries, the researchers grouped women by whether or not they received chemotherapy, chemotherapy regimen, or hormone therapy, according to the NCCN guidelines. The researchers found that 35% of the women studied received non-guideline chemotherapy (either no chemotherapy although recommended or use of chemotherapy when not recommended), 12% received non-guideline regimens (not treated with the chemotherapy drugs recommended), and 20% received non-guideline hormone therapy.

Sausage-Stuffed Pork Roast Recipe
I'm a truck driver that loves to cook (much to my wife's delight!). This savory roast is unique with its sausage and carrot filling, and it cuts nicely, too.
- 1-1/2 pounds bulk pork sausage
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 boneless whole pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, ricotta cheese, carrot, garlic and parsley; set aside.
- Starting about a third in from one side, make a lengthwise slit in the roast to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Turn roast over and make another lengthwise slit, starting from about a third in from the opposite side. Open roast so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 3/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic wrap.
- Spread sausage mixture over meat to within 1 in. of edges. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roll-up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie several times with kitchen string and secure ends with toothpicks. Place seam side down on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Rub oil over roast.
- Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 60-70 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Discard toothpicks. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Awesome! Very easy to make. When I purchased the loin from my market I had them split the roast for me. Saved me some time. I do know one thing I will do different next time. That is use my blender to chop up the sausage. Very good and I can't wait to make this again. Thinking of even trying it on the grill!

Ear Infections (cont.)IN THIS ARTICLE
SymptomsSymptoms of a middle ear infection (acute otitis media) often start 2 to 7 days after the start of a cold or other upper respiratory infection. Symptoms of an ear infection may include:
Symptoms of fluid buildup may include:
Some children don't have any symptoms with this condition. What HappensMiddle ear infection (acute otitis media)Middle ear infections usually occur along with an upper respiratory infection (URI), such as a cold. During a URI, the lining of the eustachian tube can swell and block the tube. Fluid builds up in the middle ear, creating a perfect breeding ground for bacteria or viruses to grow into an ear infection. Pus develops as the body tries to fight the ear infection. More fluid collects and pushes against the eardrum, causing pain and sometimes problems hearing. Fever generally lasts a few days. And pain and crying usually last for several hours. After that, most children have some pain on and off for several days, although young children may have pain that comes and goes for more than a week. Antibiotic treatment may shorten some symptoms. But most of the time the immune system can fight infection and heal the ear infection without the use of these medicines. Children under 2 are treated with antibiotics, because they are more likely to have complications from the ear infection. In severe cases, too much fluid can increase pressure on the eardrum until it ruptures, allowing the fluid to drain. When this happens, fever and pain usually go away and the infection clears. The eardrum usually heals on its own, often in just a couple of weeks. Sometimes complications, such as a condition called chronic suppurative otitis media (an ear infection with chronic drainage), can arise from repeat ear infections. Middle ear fluid buildup (otitis media with effusion)Most children who have ear infections still have some fluid behind the eardrum a few weeks after the infection is gone. For some children, the fluid clears in about a month. And a few children still have fluid buildup (effusion) several months after an ear infection clears. This fluid buildup in the ear is called otitis media with effusion. Hearing problems can result, because the fluid affects how the middle ear works. Usually, infection does not occur. Otitis media with fluid buildup (effusion) may occur even if a child has not had an obvious ear infection or upper respiratory infection. In these cases, something else has caused eustachian tube blockage. In rare cases, complications can arise from middle ear infection or fluid buildup. Examples include hearing loss and ruptured eardrum. eMedicineHealth Medical Reference from Healthwise This information does not replace the advice of a doctor.

Patty has a point here. Obama said he is not a Muslim, so there is nothing wrong about swearing on the Bible. |
Here you go weath envier. 20) One of the first things he did upon taking office was to corrupt and politicize the Census Bureau for partisan gain. 19) He tried to prosecute Bush attorneys for daring to write legal opinions that he disagreed with. . An Abuse of Power: President Obama's "Recess" Appointments. 18) He once enlisted law enforcement officials to "target" anyone who ran campaign ads against him that he didn't like. 17) He once threatened the broadcasting license of a Pennsylvania station just for considering airing an ad on his extreme anti-gun record. 16) He blacklists and smears any news media outlet that actually bothers to question him. 15) He tried to sue Boeing into submission for daring to survive crippling union abuses by moving their operation to a right-to-work state (South Carolina). 14) He illegally attacked a sovereign country (Libya) with zero authorization from Congress. 13) He had his HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, issue threats and order private companies not to criticize Obamacare or correctly link it to cuts in benefits. 12) He illegally ordered his Department of Justice to just stop enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act...because it didn't suit his "evolving" views on gay marriage. 11) He publicly called out and attacked private citizens on his illegal "Enemies List" who dared to donate money to his opponent, and used his agencies to "investigate" them. 10) He illegally forced through one radical appointee after another without Senate approval (as required under the Constitution) while the Senate was still in session. 9) He blatantly disregarded an order by a federal judge to stop illegally trying to shut down all American energy exploration...to continue perpetuating his treacherous, economy-killing environmentalist scam. 8) He sued the state of Arizona for daring to commit the hate crime of enforcing the most lenient immigration laws on the planet. 7) He refused to let his Attorney General prosecute armed Black Panthers who were caught on video openly intimidating voters at polling places on Election Day in 2008. 6) He is openly racist (as I have demonstrated here, here and here). 5) He launched one "investigation" after another against any state that dared to require free (or nearly free) state IDs for voting (to prevent rampant Democrat voter fraud--see here, here and here)...while aggressively attempting to suppress military votes. 4) He illegally ordered private companies and religious institutions to violate their own beliefs and provide contraceptives free of charge to all female employees. 3) He illegally instructed his DHS to stop enforcing our immigration laws while quietly crippling our ability to deport virtually anyone who crosses our border (to import millions of new Democrat voters at everyone else's expense)...which enabled numerous, entirely preventable rapes and murders against Americans, for years. 2) His closest advisors were caught illegally arming barbaric Mexican drug cartels with assault weapons to stage gun violence that would prompt and legitimize a Democrat attack on the 2nd Amendment...to which he responded not by firing those responsible, but by defending them as they lied repeatedly about the case, vindictively retaliated against whistle-blowers and threatened other ATF employees. 1) He responded to months of furious town hall meetings, widespread public opposition in virtually every poll, and huge upset elections in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts--all citing Obamacare as the reason--by blackmailing and bribing his own super-majority into shoving his illegal, economy-killing health care takeover down our throats anyway. http://www.examiner.com/article/top-ten-reaso... |

E-learning myths dispelled
While e-learning is gaining ground in the corporate and manufacturing worlds, it isn't the be all and end all. There are some advantages and disadvantages to remember before you dive into the e-learning pool. Some say the quality of e-learning is what distinguishes it from other offerings. Training is key these days, but time is a very precious commodity. That is why e-learning is a very attractive proposition.
Although e-learning providers have a dazzling collection of titles, many of them aren't much better than a book online—totally passive and uninteresting. And it is unlikely e-learning will actually replace instructor-led training. No one can sit slumped in front of a computer screen for two days or get hands-on practical experience and talk to colleagues in a classroom setting. Perhaps in the future, but not at this time. A blended approach—a combination of e-learning and classroom-based learning—is an excellent combination right now.
E-learning won't actually make a dramatic improvement to the learning process. Thomas L. Russell reviewed the various technology platforms used over the past 75 years and concluded there was really no difference in the learning impact from the different media. Whether it was 16mm films, CDs, or the classical classroom, what makes the difference is the way you instruct. There is no substitute for a good quality instructor and well-designed, practical learning materials.
E-learning course preparation isn't really shortened either. The time taken to prepare is actually longer than for an existing classroom course. One recommendation calls for a minimum of three dry runs with complete presentations of the topic. Instructors may need to build in dummy interactivity, such as posed questions, if they are unsure about audience, either remote or perhaps of different cultures.
Effective techniques
Here are some techniques to look for in effective e-learning courses:
- Do instructors use simulation techniques and provide guided tours through the materials?
- Do instructors use anecdotes and stories to lift interest level?
- Do instructors use demonstrations to show the participants how it's done?
A good course usually places the learning in a real-world context at all times to clearly show the benefits. Good instructors also design presentations and encourage participants to interact and work with each other to create team activities.
Future of e-learning
Future uses of e-learning could eliminate all the e-learning hype in the industry, especially as the e-learning environment starts to mature, causing a renewed emphasis on the participants learning the material effectively with demonstrable benefits for the company. The book on the Web will disappear as a key learning tool. No one will be naïve enough to try and promote this form of training. Proponents will emphasize a blended learning approach, treating e-learning as one component of the instructional process. We'll start to use more hand-held devices for mobile learning and form wireless networks for the backbone of an e-learning solution. We'll begin using more collaborative learning, video conferencing, simulation, and interaction between the learners to enhance the learning process.
Whether you're in manufacturing, processing, mining, or an electrical or water utility environment, if you want to start an e-learning program at your company, you must create a compelling value proposition for your company and individual participants. Get the right support in your company from the beginning of the project. Apply the right technology to your e-learning, and get it right the first time. Communicate repetitively and persistently to ensure participation. Measure the impact on the business.
Costs can vary dramatically depending on your requirements and budgets. A small business with three engineers wanting to get familiar with the latest Coriolis flow technology would cost less than a large multinational wanting to train 3,000 engineers worldwide in the latest safety instrumentation practice on IEC 61508 as applied to their new release of their instrumentation packages.

Turning off calender notifications
Is it possible to NOT be notified of any appointments, reminders, etc. from the Calendar? I'd like to stay sync'd with my Gmail calendar, but because I don't use my table often enough I'd rather not have the device constantly notify me until I acknowledge it. That and I don't want to have to acknowledge two notifications...
- 12-18-2012, 12:17 AM Thread Author #3
Unfortunately there is no "None" for the reminder unless you mean on the computer, in which case that would turn it off on my BlackBerry which I do not want to do. I can turn the sound to silent and the LED off, but the latter still keeps the "glow"... doesn't look like there's a way to completely turn off these notifications.

An Adair Co. man is dead following an accident on Fri. morning in Taylor Co.
Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officer Derek Cundiff is investigating the collision that occurred Friday at 9:10 AM EDT, 10 miles south of Campbellsville on KY 55.
83-year-old Donnell York of Columbia, Ky. was operating a 2008 Chevy Impala, traveling north on KY 55, when an eyewitness stated that York pulled off the shoulder of the roadway and slumped over the steering wheel, briefly stopped before taking back off, crossed the center line and struck a guardrail before coming to final rest in the ditch line. York was transported to Taylor Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Taylor Co. Coroner Terry Dabney said it is likely that York likely died from natural causes but cannot confirm without toxicology results which are pending.
The case remains under investigation.
Three persons were injured in a two-vehicle, head-on collision late Thursday afternoon in Russell County.
According to the Russell Co. Sheriff's Dept., the accident occurred on Hwy 80, east of Russell Springs, when a 2012 Toyota Camry driven by 50 year old Troy Stephens crossed into the westbound lane and struck a 1997 Chevy Geo Metro being driven by 16 year old Kobe George.
Kobe & a passenger, his mom Melissa George were airlifted from the scene while another passenger, his dad Troy Stephens was flown from the Russell County Hospital to the U.K. Medical Center for treatment. Randy George was treated at the scene.
The collision occurred just after 5:00 p.m. Thursday and remains under investigation.
Lindsey Wilson College has received an $80,000 grant from Kosair Charities of Louisville, Ky. The grant will be used to support a pediatric partnership between the college's baccalaureate nursing program and the Center for Courageous Kids of Scottsville, Ky., and develop an initiative that will provide nutrition information to area Latino families through outreach efforts by LWC students.
Kosair Charities board member Robert Flowers of Columbia said he was glad the organization could help programs that will change the lives of children in South Central Kentucky.
Through a partnership with Center for Courageous Kids, students in LWC's baccalaureate nursing program work with seriously ill children who attend the camp.
The Kosair Charities grant will also fund a cooperative effort by the LWC nursing division, education division and Florece en Lindsey ("Flourishing at Lindsey") to offer nutrition courses to Latino students who participate in Adair County Schools' literacy program. The program will be launched in the Fall.

FLORIDA TODAY, 11/12/98, Abortion clinic lawsuits could set precedent
FLORIDA TODAY, Thursday, November 12, 1998
Abortion clinic lawsuits could set precedent
By Susan Decker, FLORIDA TODAY
MELBOURNE -- Each time a car drives into the Aware Woman Center, someone is there to take note.
License plate numbers are written down, and from there the watchers get names and addresses to send anti-abortion letters to the vehicles' owners, or to identify the doctors who perform the abortions and convince them to stop.
That scrutiny forms the core of the latest legal battle between the U.S. 1 clinic and its foes, who own the house across the street and use it for a base of protests and surveillance.
Meredith T. Raney, Jr., a prime mover in the anti-abortion crusade in Brevard County since 1989, said in an interview in June that he has been recording the comings and goings of people for so long, it has become a "habit."
Clinic founder Patricia Baird-Windle calls it illegal and wants a federal judge to order Raney, his group, Christians for Life, and his colleagues to stop the practice. His colleagues, the so-called "scribes," including newly re-elected Melbourne Councilwoman Cheryl Palmer, write down the plate numbers.
The request is contained in a countersuit Baird-Windle and the clinic filed recently in answer to a suit Raney filed a year ago. In Raney's suit, he claims he is a re productive health counselor who is protected by a federal law that grants access to abortion clinics.
It has become a battle between Baird-Windle and Raney, who have been on opposite sides of the abortion issue and a red line in front of the clinic since 1989. In some ways, it has become a war of monetary attrition, with each claiming the battles have affected their pocketbooks.
"It would not surprise me if there are meetings where people sit around and say we'll make their lives so miserable, they'll go away," said Jim Henderson, senior counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice in Washington, D.C., and former abortion pro-tester who has represented pro-life activists since 1976.
The latest legal battles have the potential to break new ground in the abortion war. Raney's suit is only the second time pro-life activists have claimed protection under the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which many say was designed to protect women entering clinics, Henderson said.
Baird-Windle's countersuit is the first to use a federal law designed to stop the release of information from vehicle registrations, according to her lawyer, Roy Lucas of Melbourne. It also is the first time a clinic has tried to get compensation for unlawful intimidation from the homeowner's insurance policies, claiming pro-life. activists hide assets so they do not have to pay judgments imposed against them.
"I feel like relief is in sight for me and for the community," Baird-Windle said. "A hideous weight that has been around our shoulders will be lifted by the law."
The countersuit, which must be accepted by U.S. District Court Judge Patricia Fawsett before it can be. heard, also names Compuserve and its owner, America On line, and TML Information Services Inc. for releasing the vehicle registration information. By accessing the motor vehicle offices, the companies pass on information to companies checking the driving backgrounds of customers.
Deborah Jager of TML said each client -- usually rental and insurance companies -- sign affidavits saying they will follow the Driver's Privacy Protection Act and use the information for legitimate business reasons.
"Harassing letters are not in compliance with the DPPA and not a business use," Jager said, adding that any account using TML for such purposes will be shut down.
The clinic contends that Raney and the 15 others named have intimidated everyone from the gardener and repairmen to patients and staff members by trying to get personal information about them.
"Raney compiles this information in part for an imagined day of reckoning when all abortion doctors, patients and accessories will face their war crimes holocaust trials under a new fundamentalist theocracy," the suit charges.
Fourteen log books with the plate numbers of everyone who has ever gone to the clinic were included in information Raney presented to the clinic's lawyers as part of the federal suit. The names and addresses of the vehicles' owners were next to the numbers, Baird-Windie said.
Raney and his lawyer, Chris Sapp of Lehigh Acres, said they could not comment on the counter-suit because it still has not been accepted by the judge. Palmer also declined comment. No date has been set on the case.
Lucas, an abortion-rights lawyer for three decades and a key lawyer in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion, contends it is a serious challenge to the pro-life movement and its tactics.
"Realistically, I wouldn't be surprised if a jury awarded $15 million (in damages)," he said. "Juries are fed up with this wacko stuff."
In addition to Raney and Palmer, named in the countersuit were William Lestourgeon, Allen Lestourgeon, John C. "Jay" Rogers, Mark Steven Hall, Patricia McEwen, Christine Jagos, Dolly Edwards, Allen Munroe, Norma Munroe, Cecelia Stanback, Pat Pinkston, Nancy Lally, Luther Laite and Anne Blackburn.

Contrary to popular belief, the best time to buy TV is not right before the Super Bowl. The best time to buy a TV is from about 5 January until the third week of January, then again from the beginning of March until the end of March.
Use wisely your power of choice.

When the new models start rolling out keep up with Target clearance. They will have some sets drop to 50% if people don't pay attention to the price. Last year many people got some crazy deals there like a 55" Panasonic Viera 3d TV for $400 or less. There were also some Samsung LEDs and other brands for dirt cheap. It's a gamble to wait until after 30% off so it might not be for you since you really need one. Those deals are more for someone who happens to catch it so they buy it to upgrade their current set THEN sell their old set to offset the price
Looking for deals on the following:
Home Improvement Needs Electric Range (black or stainless) any free MCR or Disney reward points Slickdeals - where you can live like a King on the salary of a Jester |
I agree with Brian1. You may find a handful of real deals around superbowl, but the best time to buy is going to be 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after in my opinion. Two weeks before super bowl they are clearing out christmas leader/advertised TV's. 2 weeks after superbowl the new models are coming in and they clear out last years models.
