Was Booth a coward?
February 01, 2012, 09:05:27 PM »
In the article I had hoped to place in
North and South
magazine on Everton J. Conger, which is located elsewhere on this site, I wrote the following:
If there was anything in the assassins career which prompted admiration, it was his courage, Conger said. I was twice wounded in the Civil War, was under fire at many of the most disastrous battles and led my command right through the teeth of almost certain annihilation, yet this exhibition of sublime courage, with death lurking in every corner, was a lesson to me. Conger suggested Booth was either a maniac or the bravest man he ever saw. I am inclined to think that the former was nearer the exact situation with him than the latter. Congers opinion wasnt meant to signal approval for Booths actions. But as a man who witnessed how scores of soldiers responded to their imminent demise, he knew that as reprehensible as Booth was, acceptance of his fate was anything but cowardly.
So I'm curious...did Conger get this right? Was Booth courageous or was he a coward? I have my opinion, but I'll wait until others chime in before revealing it.

Courageous, had to be, as he didn't know what the other man in the box was packing, just went ahead and did it. IMO.

Didn't Booth supposedly admire John Brown for his courage to act on his convictions, even though he didn't agree with him?

While I don't think shooting an unarmed man in the back of the head is particularly brave, there's a lot more to this story. Booth walked into enemy territory and he was on a mission. I think he was prepared for and fully expected that he may be challenged. I'd bet if he was denied entry by a guard outside the box, whoever that may have been (should have been Parker) would have been stabbed. He said he planned only for success, so this scenario had to enter his mind. A coward runs away from danger and confrontation. Someone with courage disregards their own safety and gets the job done.
His actions at Garrett's also show how defiant and brazen he was. While Herold was pulled, whimpering, from the barn, Booth called
a coward and still would not give up, challenging his pursuers with his ridiculous request to fight them all. Madman, drunk, egomaniac - maybe. Coward? Not in my opinion.

He had to know the risk posed to himself and the others for following his convictions. I think all of us would like to say we would run into a burning building to save someone but how many actually would? Actions speak louder than words. Crazy? Maybe. Coward? I don't think so.

So then does everyone accept Booth's statements as to why he chose not to fight for the Confederacy? Promising his mother that he wouldn't and telling Asia he could be more effective by using his money?

Boothbuff covered my thought. I have wondered if Booth only wanted to kill the President, he could have taken Powell and ambushed him on the carriage ride to Ford's theater.The President would have been shot an an unknown rider would ride away in the darkness. Entering the theater, going into the box, having only a 1 shot Derringer, jumping on stage, escaping, ... so many things could have gone wrong.
If I recall, Willie Jett asked Booth what he thought about the assassination and Booth replied something like "not much" (Michael Kauffman mentioned this on the DVD that was made I believe in 05.
Booth 15 minutes of fame lives on and on...

So much of what Booth said is hogwash, it's tough to decipher what the truth is with him. I think if he could have enlisted as a General, he may have, but that's unreasonable. He truly did have a lust for fame. I think a lot of his actions can be attributed to his egotistical personality. I don't think enlisting as a Private and not giving the orders would have suited his personality. I tend to think he may have got a taste of this at Harper's Ferry with the Richmond Grays and that too influenced his decision.
By April, as he wrote, he may have come to deem himself a coward. The reasons he did so will only be known to Booth, I believe. He was the target of some nasty zingers toward the end of the war. Harry Ford said to him, when he complained Lee shouldn't have given up, that at least Lee had three stars on his shoulder. Another man, who's name escapes me, said to him when Booth was arguing in April that the cause was not lost and there was time for something to be done, "What are you going to do? Play Hamlet for 101 nights?"
I think there may be a little meat on that bone, Rob. If there was a small fear living inside Booth that prevented him from enlisting, maybe the digs from friends and family, mixed with feelings of worthlessness for not overcoming this fear, fueled by booze and rage, came to a head on April 14th.

I don't think very much of Booth's plan if he even had one. For him to succeed what had to happen was exactly what happened. If he had been denied entry into the box, and needed to get past Forbes or whomever, I imagine that would have created quite a ruckus which would have alerted Lincoln and Rathbone that something was amiss and Booth wouldn't be able to sneak up on the President. We know that Rathbone had the courage and presence of mind to leap to his feet and grapple with Booth before he could leap to the stage. I just don't see Booth taking on and taking out Lincoln and Rathbone with a one shot derringer and knife. Also There were a lot of Army officers in that area. Didn't Booth think that at least a few of them were combat vets trained to react instantly, rather than DC desk jockeys? He might have been shot down before he even opened the door of the box. In my mind only a coward sneaks up and kills someone in front of the spouse. Even mafia hitmen have codes against that.

This isn't what you had in mind, but this is actually the main point of Robert Lockwood Mills' "It Didn't Happen the Way You Think." Only Mills argues it wasn't accidental that things worked out for Booth.
(Randal, please don't kill me for mentioning Mills' book - you already know I don't agree with his theory any more than you do.)

I think perhaps Booth knew how things worked and he would have little resistance making his way into the box especially being who he was.

I think whether he was or was not a coward may come down to semantics, or maybe personal opinions and definitions. While I certainly don't think that sneaking in and shooting somebody in the back of the head is the most manly way to commit a murder, when I think of what it must have been like to actually be in that spot, it seems that it must have taken nerves of steel. I think many people may be of the opinion that it was a cowardly act, made by someone who was afraid to face the changes that were coming. But he also knew the risks involved. Had anything not gone perfectly in those first few minutes, in particular after he had pulled the trigger, he likely would have been strung up immediately. He knew this. I'm not sure a true coward could have gone through with it knowing the consequences. Yes, he probably knew he would meet little resistance getting into the box, but what if Rathbone held him up a few seconds more? What if he landed on his face when he hit the stage and couldn't get up and away as quickly. What if somebody tripped him up when he was trying to exit the theater? What if men on horses immediately chased after him? There were many situations that could have led to him being immediately captured and killed, and yet he had the nerve to go through with it anyway. By my personal definition, I'm not sure a coward could have known all of this, stood there in the vestibule, known exactly what the situation was, and still had the guts to open that door and pull the trigger. Again, I think it comes each person's definition of what a coward is.

I have to agree with Joe and the rest here. Booth a coward? Not in my estimation. I don't think any of the conspirators were - no, not even Atzerodt. We've gone over that before; Ol' George had to have courage in order to run the river as he did. Herold was somewhat fool hardy. JWB may have been simply a glory seeker or misguided "patriot" as was Powell, but coward? No.
Betty, interesting point about Atzerodt. I've kind of had the opinion that he didn't really have much courage, but you make a good point that he must have had. I still don't think he was ever a serious threat to kill Johnson though.

Jade is a Piscean teenager living in a small village in New Mexico, USA. When she is not traveling or procrastinating with her homework, she enjoys writing, reading, languages, dance, music, and art and crafts. She takes care of two adorable and wonderful siblings. Along with being an author, singer, dancer, guitar-player, outdoorsy hippi girl, and pseudo-mother, Jade plans to be the future director of her fathers business, The Tracking Project. She is a homeschooler enrolled with a prestigious curriculum and thus receives a prep school education in her living room. Hee.
You Were Mine by Secret Lily
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 126]
As James is ready to propose to his girlfriend of one year, he wonders why a certain red head's face pops into his mind. One-shot.
Oh my god, that was amazing! Secret Lily, how old are you? I'm curious. This was a really, really good one-shot. I think The Prongs Complex and this one tie in first for Best One-Shot!
Author's Response: Um, 15 :)
Behind The Mask by Secret Lily
Rated: [Reviews - 383]
In her seventh year at Hogwarts, Lily starts to feel she'll never find love. That is, until a familar looking masked man sweeps her off her ruleabiding feet. Pre-HBP, AU
Yeah, I liked it. Especially the part where you made it seem like James had "filled-out", and had a deep voice and all that. That's how I feel every time I talk to my guy friends these days, lol. They grew up like that *snaps fingers*. On to the next...

Haha, that was a really good chapter. My favorite parts were: Shh, Sydney hushed. Somethings going on in her head that she doesnt like. This happens usually around exam time. Lily honey, its ok. O.W.Ls are over. You did well on them. ~ Youre telling me, Sirius said, looking over his shoulder. James turned to see Lily banging her head against the table. Well, she had beauty and brains. Obviously, there was no room for sanity. Hey, you cant have everything. Very funny. But of course, you've already showed your brilliance with numerous other fics, so you know...next one...
I was almost disgusted for a second, when that guy with the black mask was groping Lily, because I thought it was James, but then I remembered that you never said what color his mask was, so then I was better, lol. I love how you did everyone's individual meetings, that was very cute.
I find it oddly concidental that we both used the name Evan Rosier in our fics. I never read this fic before starting mine though, so that's cool. My favorite part in the last chapter: Im not going because my hormones are out of whack like yours are, Lily insisted. Im going to make sure that there is no fighting, drinking, no indecent exposure I just forgot to tell you that. Ew, Lucius Malfoy, what a fricken pervert! That is sooo nasty. Alright, again...next chapter.
Ooooooo, buuuusted! That is way awesome. I honestly can't think of a better way to spill a secret, if you had to. Ok, I wanted to ask you a question. Are you a happy ending kind of person, or do you find that people dying in the ends of stories is unusual and original? Long-winded and confusing, yes I know, but I just want to know. Most of your fics seem pretty light-hearted, and I like that. Just seeing if you had a Too Sweet to Remember kind of side to you, lol.
Yes! You didn't make it that Voldemort and Malfoy and everybody was after Lily! Big change, and I love it! There's not much more for me to say, unless you want to hear more about how much I love your story and how talented you are as a writer, lol.
Oh that sucks. I wonder what Sirius and Sydney are doing right now though...okay, I must lighten my mood by telling you which parts were my favorite from the last few chapters, since I keep forgetting, stupid me. ~That James is into some pretty kinky stuff, Sirius explained nervously, Peter nodding enthusiastically in agreement. Ol Florence Merryweather ought to be able to account for that. I heard her calling him Zorro one night. Pretty disturbing if you ask me. ~ Come on, Syd, Sirius pleaded. Give the boy a break. I mean, he may not be the brightest candle in the chandelier, but his hearts in the right place. Alright, until the next!
I honestly don't know what to think. But it doesn't really matter, seeing as this story is over already, and I'm almost done with it. Ah well...
Oh I love it. Of course I do, lol. My favorite part of all was: With that, he and Sydney walked up the stairs, giggling and saying something along the lines of Call me Zorro. That is sooooo KINKY!!! I noticed you liked that word. It's very funny. So is "smouldering". If you've read Seduced by the Toerag, you'll know what I mean, lol. Until the next chapter of No Rain!! ~Jade

Post-HBP
Interesting! Very interesting! I have to read more before I offer any criticism or anything ;D. Great job! Jade
Author's Response: Thanks :) hope u like it!
Too Sweet to Remember by Canadian Confessional
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 986]
Summary: Meet James Potter, a clever, somewhat mischievous, popular student at Hogwarts. He takes every situation in stride and has everything under control, except one: Lily Evans, an amazingly beautiful and intelligent individual. He loves her more than anything, but she despises him more than anything, and a not-so-impressive run-in late at night with her leaves James thinking that chasing after Lily might be hopeless. Then, a series of events happen in James' life, which is topped off by an unexpected visitor that makes his sixth year too sweet to remember.
Wow. That is simply what I have to say. I don't know why, but I see a lot of what's going on in my own life right now in this story. Not the whole part about being kissed by my crushes best mate, lol, but just all those feelings and everything. I love this story sooo much. You're an amazing author!
Update again soon please ;D!
Author's Response: You see your life in here? Wow, I'm glad I wrote the fic realistically. I tried as best as possible to combine real life teenage elements into the story in order for the readers to engage it more. I'm glad it's working! Thanks!
Oh my god! That was new! Now what's gonna happen...poor James. He just can't seem to do it right. *sad sigh*...Update again soon! I can't wait!
Author's Response: James really can't pull it together, lol! I'm glad you liked it and thanks a bunch for the review!
hmm...interesting. i was definitely hooked with the quote in the summary though, that was quite ingenius of you. keep writing, Jade
Wow. I must say this is probably the best chapter so far, just because both of the things they were saying were equally true. I love how you didn't make Lily instantly like James after he said all those things. That's what makes this story really different from everyone elses. I really admire you, Starmaiden, and Cherry and Pheonix Feather, because all three of you delve into the emotions of the characters and make the readers feel something, you know? So congratulations, you're obviously in my Favorites :). Great job, and I'm on to the next chapter! (I must say, you've updated a lot in the month that I was traveling, and that's the best coming-home present anyone could've given me, even not on purpose, lol.)
Author's Response: Hi there! Awww, this review is so very flattering. I'm really glad you like all the inner-emotional issues I put in, and my writing. Thank-you so much! I hope you had a good time on your trip. Thanks again!
OMG! Foul-play, or just Bludgers? Got to find out! ......
Author's Response: Heheh, keep reading and find out! LOL!
Ok, sorry, I just had to read the next chapter to find out. Now I'll give you a real review, lol. Okay, you are one of my idols. I love the way you explained what was happening in everyone's life! It was funny and interesting and kept me reading. I've noticed that now that I've started writing, I study other people's writing styles, and yours is really amazing. Just the way you put everything. It's not too fancy, not too boring, just right. I really, really liked this chapter! And now I'll go leave a review on the next chapter :).
Author's Response: Ooh, I know what you mean by studying other people's writing. I do it all the time now! Goodness, you are very flattering, I'm truly brimming with happiness. Thanks!
This was a great chapter, because you blended intrigue, sorrow, comedy, and romance together really well. That's what I've decided I like this fic for: it's unusualness. You know, usually Lily just falls for James just like that and everything, but in this one, it's real. This is more what it's like to be teenager, you know? So I love the reality of the situation. And also the fact that Sirius is going out with a younger girl, 'cause YEAH! Guys go out with younger girls! That's also very real, lol. But anyway, really, really great job, and I'll be waiting for the next update with bated breath :). Bye!
Author's Response: Unusualness? Ooh, thank-you! For this story, I tried to move away from the typical things in a J/L fic, but still keep everyone canon. I understand what you mean by the teenage issues (yeah guys go out with younger girls!!). I'm very flattered, and I'll try to update real soon! Thanks a bunch!

Here's another state investigation that found "rampant" voter fraud, a whopping 17 cases in Ohio, most of which were probably just mistakes by secretary of state office workers. But Fox News wants you to know that this happened in a "key swing state."
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced Wednesday that his office found 17 non-citizens illegally cast ballots in the 2012 presidential election — and has referred the case for possible prosecution.
The alleged crime would be a notable case of voter fraud in a key swing state. By law, only American citizens are allowed the privilege of casting ballots for the nation's leaders…
President Obama beat Mitt Romney in Ohio by just 2 percentage points in November 2012.
Uh, yeah. There were 2.7 million votes cast in Ohio in 2012. That 2% margin was 104,000 votes. So those 17 votes comprised .00017% of the margin (and that would assume that they all voted the same way, which is unlikely). OMG! They're stealing the election! And bear in mind that the way undocumented people end up on voter rolls is not through intentional fraud, it's because they go in to get a driver's license, are given a voter's registration and they just fill it out. If it's not flagged, they go on the rolls and they likely don't even know that they aren't supposed to be eligible.

Technical Support / Re: The Microwave oven interfere with my wireless internet connection.« on: May 27, 2014, 03:52:48 PM »
802.11a is dog slow, but uses the 5 GHz band. 802.11b and g are faster, but use 2.4 GHz which is full of interference from microwaves, cordless phone, etc.
This is a VERY common misconception: 802.11a is actually the same speed as 802.11g. In fact, in many ways, 802.11g IS 802.11a, just specified to run at the 2.4GHz band instead of the 5GHz band.

Belgian golfer Nicolas Colsaerts is playing in his second career U.S. Open, and he's surprisingly played his way into a tie for the lead through six holes of play on Saturday. Even though The Olympic Club is a course that rewards accuracy much more than power, he's gained on his spot on the leadboard partially by bombing the living snot out of the ball. His power advantage comes into play on the seventh hole. He decided not to use it, and he got heckled.
The Par-4 seventh hole is a driveable hole for even the least powerful of professional-level golfers. It's playing at just 265 yards on Saturday, and players trying to drive the green just have to carry the ball over a ridge just short of the hole to feel like they have a reasonable shot at eagle and a very good chance at birdie. Some guys are hitting 5-woods into this hole. Some guys have to use 3-woods. When it was playing longer, a few guys had to use their driver. Colsaerts can probably get the ball over that ridge from the tee with a 3-iron.

Instead, he laid up. Seriously. The crowd was stupefied, and one man in particular felt the need to vocalize his displeasure with Colsaerts' stunning lack of ambition.
As if the one guy shouting "Nice layup!" wasn't bad enough, Colsaerts was heckled for the entire walk from the tee to his second shot. He didn't hit a terribly accurate second, he didn't get close on his birdie attempt, and he had to settle for a par. Perhaps the gallery had a point.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) The solar energy industry has slogged along in the shadows over the past few years, plagued by expensive equipment, lackluster performance and high costs to consumers who want to go the alternative energy route but couldn't afford to do so.
All that might might be changing this year, if researchers at Stanford University have their homework right. Their research shows global solar energy specifically solar photovoltaic panels has generated enough energy over the past year to surpass the amount of energy it took to build and pay for the energy needed to create those solar panels.

Furthermore, the Stanford report estimates that between 2015 and 2020, solar energy will have created enough juice to cover all of its historic creation costs.
It's taken a while, but solar is evidently ready for its day in the sun.
"This analysis shows that the industry is making positive strides," says Michael Dale, a senior fellow at the university's Global Climate & Energy Project. "Despite its fantastically fast growth rate, solar energy is producing or just about to start producing a net energy benefit to society."
With U.S. electricity costs rising by 21%, and Americans consuming about 7.4 tons of carbon dioxide to heat their homes, keep their lights burning and their refrigerators cold, is it time for consumers to get off the electric grid and "go solar"?
That's a personal choice, but it seems financing solar power in the average U.S. home is within reach. Some U.S. homeowners are already making the leap.

Introductory Real Analysis - check answers please! 4 Questions

I had no idea that this is how mathematics is being taught today, but I have to say that it is a considerable improvement from 30 years ago. Back then it was clear that a lot of students just weren't picking up the ideas but this sort of first week's assignments makes it very clear exactly what the problem is. You can't imagine how much more difficult the later problems in this class will be, in terms of interpreting the English correctly. They're doing you a big favor by bringing this up so early in the class. When I took classes like this they sucked the students in with easy stuff and then hit them hard by the end.
It is this fundamental mathematics that I consider to be part of a transition course. Such a course should also include all the nitty gritty about functions, relations, and a few other things as well as how to write a proof. Unfortunately, all too many schools still don't insure students know this stuff before they let them take higher math courses. I was unable to get the hang of higher math until I figured out on my own that this was what I was missing.
Ideally, this should be taught in freshman calculus. Limits would have been so much easier to understand. But, since freshman calculus courses are mostly populated by future engineers and engineers have a propensity to only want to know how to calculate things, perhaps professors don't try anymore. At least, this was my attitude when I was in my engineering phase.
"Analysis with an Introduction to Proof" by Steven Lay is a great book to have whether you know this transition material or not. I studied undergraduate analysis out of Rudin's book and Lay's book was an essential companion.

Town snow plows and sanders have been busy since the snowstorm began late Thursday evening, and were still going strong as Friday morning arrived.
A few
more inches may hit West Islip as the storm ebbs away later today.
According to Mike Silva, meteorologist at the National Weather Service Office in Upton, the storm held no surprises.
"This pretty much panned out exactly as we expected," he said. "We expected six to 10 inches of snow, with maybe a little bit higher out east. Some places managed to touch a foot."
Winds, however, weren't quite as fierce as initially predicted, but were starting to pick up Friday morning, with "very dangerous" temperatures across Long Island. With the wind chill factor, some areas felt as though it were minus 11 degrees, with a range of minus three to minus eight.
Temperatures are not expected to rise higher than the upper teens for most of Long Island Friday.
Two last bands of snow are slated to continue moving across Long Island Friday morning, one in Suffolk County and one over northern Nassau; another inch or two of snow will fall by 1 p.m., when the white stuff should disappear from the area completely.
Here are the latest snowfall accumulations, according to the NWS:
Suffolk County
North Babylon: 12 inches
Bay Shore: 11.5 inches
Port Jefferson: 9.5 inches
Islip Airport: 8.9 inches
Orient: 7.2 inches
Holbrook: 6.5 inches
Sayville: 6.0 inches
Stony Brook; 4.1 inches
Ronkonkoma: 4.0 inches
Smithtown: 3.0 inches
Nassau County
Plainview: 8.2 inches
North Merrick: 7.5 inches
Massapequa: 7.3 inches
Bayville: 7.3 inches
New Hyde Park: 6.5 inches
Levittown: 6.2 inches

The Georgia Legislative Womens Caucus is looking for college students who are interested in the political process and want to shadow a state lawmaker for a year beginning this coming fall.
Applications will be circulated through college sororities, fraternities, political science professors and others, said state Rep. Nikki Randall, D-Macon, head of the bipartisan group.
Scholarships for Georgia Military
ROTC students at Georgia Military College would be eligible for a $1,500 tuition assistance grant under a new bill by state Sen. Burt Jones, R-Jackson.
Its similar to a grant offered to ROTC students at the University of North Georgia. If the bill becomes law, grants would still be contingent on the Legislatures appropriating money annually.
No hearing has yet been scheduled on Senate Bill 330.

Update: Senior officer at Morant Bay Examination Depot arrested
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Police have named the two people arrested in a major racket at the Morant Bay Examination Motor Vehicle Depot in St Thomas.
They are Lynden Simpson, senior examiner and Icina Coley, an office attendant.
They were both charged with breaches of the Corruption prevention Act following a joint operation yesterday.
Head of the Traffic Department Radcliffe Lewis said that the two staff members were taken into custody after a police team conducted a surprise raid at the Depot.
"During a more than 12 hour operation several fraudulent documents were seized and two persons arrested," said Lewis.
Reports are that motorists would pay the prescribed fee at the Tax Collectorate and then take the receipt to the examiner who, in turn, would charge a fee to pass defective vehicles and then prepare a new Certificate of Fitness.
Police suspect that the racket involved people from all across the island.
The two will appear before the Morant Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on October 24.
Police from the Mobile Reserve, the Revenue Protection Division assisted in the operation.

Sadness is not Depression
Sadness is an emotion that we all feel at times. It's not the same as depression. Here are some ways to tell the difference.
SSRI Antidepressants Save Lives
The SSRI class of antidepressants has been under attack in the past few years, since some studies suggested that these drugs can increase the risk of suicide in young people. A July 2006 study has found that suicide rates in the U.S. have decreased as the rate of fluoxetine (Prozac) prescriptions has increased.
Antidepressant Medications
Antidepressant medications are often the first treatment prescribed for depression. Newer medications have fewer side effects than older ones.
How does Exercise Improve Mental Health?
We know that exercise has positive effects on the brain. Researchers at Duke University demonstrated several years ago that exercise can be an effective antidepressant. Other research has shown that exercise can improve the brain functioning of the elderly, and may even protect against dementia. How does exercise improve mental health?
Treating Mothers' Depression Helps Kids' Mental Health
Effectively treating a mother's depression decreases the likelihood of her children having mental disorders within the same time period. Mothers who remain depressed increase the risk of her children having these disorders.
Sexual Dysfunction Results from Anti-depressant Drugs
All but two of the newer anti-depressant drugs cause significant sexual dysfunction, according to results of a study conducted by the associate professor and vice chairman, Department of Psychiatric Medicine, University Virginia Health System and a primary care physician in New Baltimore, Mich.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Powerful electromagnets are being used to stimulate areas of the brain non-invasively. Scientists are studying the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) on severe depression and other mental disorders.
Women Inherit Depression more often than Men
Genetic factors play a somewhat larger role in depression for women than for men.
People Who Choose Their Depression Treatment Do Better
Patients who chose their own treatment for depression had better outcomes than patients whose treatment was determined by their physicians alone, a new study of veterans has found.
Exercise Alone may Reduce Symptoms of Depression
The first study to look at exercise alone in treating mild to moderate depression showed depressive symptoms were reduced almost 50 percent in adults who participated in 30-minute aerobic exercise sessions three to five times a week, according to researchers.
Cymbalta for the Treatment of Depression and Pain
The dual serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor Cymbalta is giving doctors and patients a new option for treating depression and neuropathic pain.
Cymbalta gets Mixed Reception
Eli Lilly hopes that it has found a money-maker in its new antidepressant Cymbalta; since It's flagship antidepressant Prozac is now available in a cheaper generic version. In February 2004 a college student taking part in a study of Cymbalta hanged herself in a company research facility. Lilly assures us that there's no evidence that Cymbalta was to blame.
Teens with Depression Show Improvement When Medication, Therapy Combined
Teenagers suffering from depression improved more with a combination of an antidepressant and cognitive-behavior therapy than they did when treated with either separately, a multicenter study.
Exercise is an Effective Antidepressant
A Duke University study demonstrated that regular exercise is as effective as antidepressant medications for patients with major depression.
Income Influences Mothers' Depressive Symptoms
New research findings verify that income changes directly affect depressive symptoms in women during the first three years after childbirth.
Depression Tied to Hypertension by Family History
Higher blood pressure is linked to depression, but only in people with a family history of hypertension, a new study finds. People whose parents did not have high blood pressure did not show the same association.
Depression & Fatigue Fuel Each Other
Depression and fatigue reinforce each other in a vicious cycle, say European researchers.
Suicide Rates Overstated in People with Depression
Mayo Clinic debunks the commonly held notion that about 15 percent of people diagnosed with depression will commit suicide.
Should Children Take Antidepressants?
A study of major depressive disorder in children and teens that showed that sertraline is slightly more effective than placebo. It also had more side effects. This really is an important study. Kids are already taking Zoloft, and we need to understand the implications of this. Some of the results are troubling, though.

This is my absolute all time favourite yankee candle. It smells absolutely gorgeous, I want my house to smell like this forever. Its a mix of pine and mint, but in an obvious way, it took me a bit of time to work out exactly what the smell is, I didn't immediately jump to pine and mint. The smell immediately made me think of snow and christmas, its definitely very festive. The smell spreads very well and is very strong.
I can tell this is a candle I'll buy over and over again and burn all year even though its a festive smell. I can't get enough of it, Its so unique, not a smell you'll accidentally stumble on elsewhere like you might with fresh cut roses or christmas cookies for example.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Yankee Candles are crap. Cheap, wax based product that smell like a gas station bathroom. They don't burn cleanly and don't last long. You will end up repainting your ceiling if you use them often.
Spend a little more and buy a nice soy based candle like Voluspa. Sure, it costs more but the scents are clean and luxurious.
Im a huge Yankee Candle fan and Winter Wonderland is another hit for me. It is similar to White Christmas but just a bit milder.
Winter Wonderland really captures the scent of a cold snowy day.......crisp,pepperminty with hints of pine. When I have this burning it makes me wish for more snow to fall.
It really makes a fabulous winter fragrance........I wait for snow to fall to burn it because it just completes the wintery wonderland feel(crazy)
I also enjoy Balsam&Cedar as well as Vanilla Cupcake during the winter.
this is almost exactly the same as my beloved 'White Christmas' (warm fruitiness, fallen snow, crisp clear outdoors), but with a SLIGHTLY weaker throw, and a little peppermint thrown into the above mix. it is a gorgeous scent, but if i were you, i would get 'White Christmas' instead if you can find it.
the throw of this, is still strong - it's just that i think 'White Christmas' was unusually strong, and i think the peppermintiness in 'Winter Wonderland' makes it lean towards more of a fresh scent, and then it looses that cosy feel (some may prefer a fresher, gentler scent anyway). but it's still very nice and still gets 5 lipsticks from me. won't re-purchase next xmas unless i can't find 'White Christmas'!
I don't find Winter Wonderland to be overly Christmassy; it is more of a everyday fragrance for autumn/winter, so I don't think it should be labelled as being part of Yankee's 'Festive Collection'. Anyway on to the actual fragrance...
WINTER WONDERLAND is the scent of pines and ice in the air on a woodland walk on a chilly morning, and I think I can make out some cinnamon or nutmeg and some apple too. I also love how they have used peppermint to give the blend a perfect sense of chilled air on a winter morning. The fragrance is nice and fresh, but a tiny bit spicy and sweet too. A lovely balance.
As with all Yankee candles, the entirety of the wax is perfumed; I've used some candles where the fragrance burns up before the candle does, but that is not the case here. The fragrance lasts as long as the candle does and is strong enough to travel over the house. I even catch occasional wafts of the perfume whilst the candle is unlit.

Your magic wand isn't workingHere is one big reason gas-fired units are displacing oil-fired ones.
This Slant/Fin Liberty steamer, operating a Kriebel system, had been "serviced" every year, not sure what they actually did but it can't have been any more than a rag-and-tag (we found the tag) that lasted a half-hour at most. The fuel bills were excessive, and the oil company was no help to the owners. They called us to fix some system-balance issues, which we did, so we got this part of the work too. The story ends, like many, many others, with a switch from oil to gas- this time, with a Carlin EZ-Gas burner.
Soot and sulfur accumulations do a great job of keeping the heat from reaching the boiler water. If a modern oil burner is installed, adjusted and maintained properly, it will not generate soot. The amount of sulfur in this boiler tells us it hasn't had proper service since before they started lowering sulfur levels in fuel oil.
This is only the latest one we've seen in this condition. I like to see competition as much as anyone, but these guys aren't even trying. It's like taking candy from a baby!
There are some great oil guys on this board and several others, who would never dream of leaving a boiler in this condition. If you are reading this and you have oil-fired equipment, these great oil guys are the ones you need. If you are reading this and you own or manage an oil-heat company, and this is how your alleged "techs" treat your customers' equipment, they will fire your company like this family did. Guaranteed.
On this job, we also changed from a float-type low-water cutoff to a probe-type, and will change the Pressuretrol to a Vaporstat next time we're there."Reducing our country's energy consumption, one system at a time"

that is the new normallike the noisy steam system, the uneven forced air heat, the hard to control radiators, and the dirty oil burner. Normal is defined as what is commonly found, this is normal. It is not just oil, I inherited a customer with a Viessman Biferrral with a propane firing Riello that was on it's second chimney as the B vent rotted out and the owners are ready to throw the whole boiler away. I took a gallon of soot out of the boiler and had to drill 3 holes in the chamber to get the stack to a proper temp for a non condensing system.

Magic Crud:Steamer,
I used to see that all the time. It's from the really good "experts" who take the top off and brush the crud down into the chamber.
Notice how the "rug" is folded back on both sides? It's from the Kibble & Bits that slide between the rug and the sides of the base. Because they never take the front off.
On Weil-McLain Gold boilers with swing away doors, they often pipe it so you can't get the door open. When I used to clean them, I opened them up and pulled the rug out. Then, cleaned UNDER it and ran an old screwdriver up the sides to get it all it.
The only plus is those kibbles and bits dry out and end up as a form of refractory pellets to reflect the heat back into the flame. But the cold boiler temps and cold exhaust temps will kill it every time.
Like the old HB Smith 2000 series "Low Sets with the pellets you poured onto the bottom and set a target wall some distance in front of the burner on long boilers.
Because so many know so much more than I do and have so much more experience than I do, I gave up. It takes a lot of time to clean one of those beasts. Someone said that it only takes an hour to clean one of them. It takes over an hour to take the front off on the first try without breaking off any studs.
All service trucks need a can or Aero Kroil and an can of Never Seize. And use them both.

The program that helps low income families supplement their children's education with after school help will soon be forced to meet under a tree, according to Dr. Narendra Sharma.
The Neighborhood Outreach Connection (NOC) serves the Bluffton area by tutoring and offering computers to children in neighborhoods who otherwise wouldn't have the means to do so.
They welcome kids in the Bluffton House apartment complex to come to their two units after school each day for an hour and a half. Dr. Sharma, the program's director, says the math and language tutoring has tremendously improved test scores.
But unfortunately, NOC's lease will soon be up. With Bluffton House changing ownership to Aspen Square Management out of Massachusetts, Dr. Sharma says this new management will not allow them to renew.
"They are in the process of converting this whole apartment complex into a conventional complex, catered to higher income folks," he says. "They are systematically replacing these folks who are mostly in the low income category."
That will leave the kids and teachers to meet on the lawn, under a tree, to finish out the last couple of weeks of the school semester.
Dr. Sharma says "I think the reality is that a lot of these kids will fall through the cracks. I don't see much hope."
Parent Mica Weathers says it's going to be a big disappointment for the whole neighborhood.
"It may or may not affect the kids in school," Weathers says. "I had issues with my son last year, this past year, with grades and everything. The program actually helped him out a lot."
Parents like Weathers, and their kids fought the decision not to allow a renewed lease. They gathered in a crowd to protest, holding signs, and delivering letters and a petition.
"We formally gave the management the petition that was signed by more than 220 tenants that are here," Dr. Sharma says.
However, he says the new management was not present for the demonstration. He says the line of communication has been mostly one-way.
"I still haven't heard from Aspen Square Management," he says.
News Three tried unsuccessfully to reach the company.
With no change in sight, Dr. Sharma is trying to regroup and find alternative meeting sites. He says there's got to be another way to reach underprivileged kids in Bluffton.
"These kids are our future and if we're not going to invest in them and admit the challenges of the 21st century then we're failing," he says. "We're failing miserably."
Meanwhile, Weathers hates to think NOC could leave her neighborhood.
"I think it's a big disappointment, and I don't think they should get rid of the program," Weathers says. "My kids have been going to this program since it started, and in the nine years I've lived here, this program has changed this community and this complex tremendously."

This is my attempt at getting the classic SignalR chat demo working inside a Kooboo CMS Module. The point of this module is a proof of concept to see how a fairly complex module is set up since the SignalR routes for the hubs need to be registered properly for the demo to work and there is no controller or easy route to set up in order to get this working.
This is a quick introduction to Module development for Kooboo CMS. I ran into a few issues while I was trying to follow the official guide so I thought I would document the process for future reference.
I recently started evaluating Kooboo for potential use where I work to replace our existing CMS. We do a lot of website development in MVC.Net so Kooboo seemed like a good fit for our environment and existing skill set. A lot of the documentation and examples they currently have are a little hard to follow and I found just getting the code and opening it in Visual Studio using their instructions was a bit difficult so here's the easiest way to get started.

Video Vault: Cleveland's coldest day, -20 on January 19, 1994
CLEVELAND - There's cold and then there's record cold. On Jan. 19, 1994, Cleveland marked its coldest temperature ever recorded, -20.
Some of the pictures in our video player look as if they could be from any winter, except for two things: a fire in East Cleveland and a little boy with frostbite set the bar for cold.
After the "cold open," a TV term we use for a special beginning for a newscast, which showed cars having trouble starting, we see icicles and fire trucks.
The East Cleveland ladder truck couldn't leave the scene of a fire at a beauty shop because the ladder was frozen and wouldn't retract.
A power outage, which stopped the Shaker Rapid, forced a police office to don an orange ski mask to direct traffic.
A traffic mess on I-77 precedes a story done by WEWS reporter Deb Lee and the video is not for the squeamish.
Lee interviews a mom whose child has a horrific case of frostbite. Mom was surprised how quickly frostbite took its toll on her child. Ouch.

Valentine's day for entrepreneurs and small business owners: catering to the divorced and separated
Many of us may remember Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand singing this song. I recall thinking how sad it was when people remember with nostalgia the way things were between their partner, and what it is now that they have parted. As Valentine's approaches, this song comes to mind again for all those people who will not be receiving "flowers anymore."
There are many dreading this Valentine's. Not only will they be constantly reminded of what "It used to be…," they also have to deal with a feeling of something missing. I don't just mean a lack of flowers, but of "love" and feeling loved. It is bad enough to deal with the emotional stress of separation and divorce without it being in your face as it always is on the 14th.
Does mean those that are in love should not celebrate that love? Of course not. It means that those that are not don't have to hide or stand on the sidelines.
What business would only cater to half their potential target audience? Yet on Valentine's, one of the biggest business days for florists, chocolatiers, perfumeries, and all other retailers — they do just that. The focus is only on couples.
I see this as a great opportunity for business to not only increase sales but, more importantly, to help separating and divorcing couples learn to love themselves again, or perhaps for the first time in their lives.
There is a major turning point in this "theme song."
"But used-to-bes don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
Till we sweep them away"
That's the cue – yesterday and yesterday's business paradigms do not count anymore, so get that broom out.
Valentine's is about love. That can include your friends, family, children and YOU. Loving yourself is about learning who you are inside, the kind of person you want to be, and the kind of life you want following a previous life that did not work out. It's about learning to love the real you, and saying "I am worth loving."
When you can love yourself, that is when another person will also be able to love you again.
So buy gifts for friends without partners, those who perhaps need to be told someone cares about them and loves them. And business owners, remind your customers that this is an option. Making those without feel special on a day they wish would just disappear is a fantastic thing to do, and makes for a very lucrative market.
Let's start with your kids. Help them make ready their valentine's for school. And have them make one for you, their siblings, and yes, even your former spouse. It will show them love means forgiveness and understanding, even if the other person hurt you. Because you know what — your kids may have been hurt during this tough time too.
And treat yourself. Go buy those flowers or chocolates. Go to the spa, or the hockey game. You deserve it. I challenge all businesses to be creative in touching the hearts of the broken hearted, and to share those stories with me.
Then, remember love is about giving. So give of yourself. Volunteering makes us feel good about ourselves, and we often get more back than we give. Not only does it help us move on, it's also a wonderful reminder to be grateful for all that you do have in life.
Lastly, don't choose to be alone. Be with friends, family or others who are also thinking about those flowers they don't get anymore. Not to commiserate, but to celebrate love for self and all that is good in you.
Don't end your song with "You don't bring me flowers anymore" as Neil and Barbra do. That is living in the past. Who says you can't get your own flowers? Create your new song by living in the present appreciating "you".

The funny thing that's happened during the Devils' winning streak is that the Arnott rumors have died down somewhat. John, Tom, David did mention it briefly toward the end of their Talking Red podcast Episode 20 where they emphasized that the Devils should indeed be sellers at the deadline. A Twitter search for "Arnott" & "trade" only yielded a tweet from last week by Hockey Insider NHL Sources Say that Arnott was being scouted by the Penguins. A google search turned up this NY Post Everson article from three weeks ago talking about re-thinking the Arnott situation. Finally, user David Fine had an excellent fan post asking this question and more with a poll where ILWT users voted to be modest deadline sellers at a 67% rate (though the author voted to keep things status quo).
It's been a week since that Fan Post & the Devils have not lost since then. So the focus on Arnott, and what you would do if you were Lou now gets more difficult.
If we look at the reaming 6 games before now and the trade deadline on Monday February 28th at 3pm EST . . .
Question #1 How many of those games do the Devils have to win for them to keep Arnott? All? 5? Is he gone regardless?
Not an easy schedule, the at Carolina game is back-to-back, but it's nice the Flyers will be there the day before hopefully beating up on the Canes.
Question #2 - If he's a goner, who do we trade him do? Guess the team.
Pittsburgh needs a center after Malkin's injury, but the only way I would do an intra-division trade would be the get a conditional first round pick if Pittsburgh makes it past Round 2. If not, I'll take a 2.
More likely west candidates with some cap space, IMHO would be LA Kings, Anaheim, & Phoenix. I don't remember if Arnott left Dallas in a good way or bad and as someone here (I think Tom) pointed out, Nashville doesn't likely need Arnott after getting Carrie Underwood's husband.
So to sum it up, what's your win-to-lose-to-charitypoints ratio for Arnott to stay?
Where does he go?

Like nearly everyone else in the Penguins fanbase, I wanted to see Jaromir Jagr back in a Pittsburgh sweater for what should be the last year of his career. I remember the ridiculous goals and post-scoring salutes fondly, and despite his unceremonious departure in 2001 (netting all of 33 points from Kris Beech and Michael Sivek), I would've welcomed him back with open arms and a jar full of peanut butter.
Even after 11 years on the shelf, it would probably taste pretty good.
But this is where it ends. And honestly, whatever food product carries Steve Sullivan's name (maybe Gary Roberts makes a nutrition shake for him), it'll taste better than Jagr's Sour Grapes at less than half the cost. Here's why:
Let's do a simple comparison here on what I think are the most important factors to judge between the two players:
1. Skill Level
There's no doubt in my mind that Jagr's a more highly-skilled winger than Steve Sullivan. Always has been, always will be. Even at 39 years old, Jagr's probably going to score about 60 points in a top-6 role over an 82-game season. Steve Sullivan, 36, will probably come in somewhere just below the 51 points he scored in '09/'10, the last time he played a full 82-game season, and that's with either Crosby or Malkin as his pivot. Sullivan's not a bad top-6 winger by any metric, just not the guy you want as a #1 trigger man.
Advantage - Jagr
2. Defensive Ability
I don't have to look up statistics to justify my assertion that Jaromir Jagr is one of the worst back-checking wingers of all time. If I had a nickel for every time he was floating back into neutral ice while the play was already on the defensive side of the blueline, I'd have bought Facebook from Zuckerberg by now. Sullivan, on the other hand, is pretty solid defensively. He's received a few votes here-and-there for the Selke trophy, and while he's no Pavel Datsyuk, he certainly shows up in his own end. He's also killed penalties for the better part of his career, though he wasn't called on for that in the playoffs last year.
Advantage - Sullivan
3. Fragility
One of the knocks on Sullivan I've heard repeatedly since his signing is that he's fragile. Really? Yes, he missed two years and all of '07/'08 to a back injury and had a knee injury at the end of the playoffs last year after recurring groin issues that forced him to miss a few games. But two seasons ago, he played a full 82 games plus six in the playoffs. The Penguins had a good crash-course in fragility last season, and it's obviously not something we'd like to see repeated.
The flip side is Jagr. He's 39. Depending on your assessment of the nature of the KHL, he may not have played "full-contact" hockey in three years. Alex Ovechkin's open-ice bomb during the Olympics last year made Jagr look like a guy who didn't remember that extended dangling in the neutral zone can lead to concussions, even when Scott Stevens is no longer playing. Jagr's still a beast, but at this age, could he deal with 82 regular season games plus a full playoff schedule? How long does he take punishment in the corners before seeing time in the press box?
Advantage - Jagr (slightly)
4. Situational Fitness
Here's a huge difference between the two. Sullivan's game is fairly north-south, speed-oriented, and he's a right-handed shot who plays the left side of the man advantage. Jagr loves to play east-west, wheeling-and-dealing in both the offensive and neutral zones, using his lefty shot along the right boards on the power play. There's no doubt that Jagr was correct when he identified the difficulty the Pens would have fitting him on a power play unit that already had two lefties - Crosby and Malkin - who are best used on the right side. Sullivan's one-timer from the right circle is exactly what the doctor ordered for a terrible power play unit. He may not be Steven Stamkos, but who is?
Advantage - Sullivan
5. Opportunity Cost
The $1.8M difference between the two contracts is significant for a team like the Pens who are right up against the salary cap. Here's where we stand right now with the Pens roster:
Chris Kunitz ($3.725m) / Sidney Crosby ($8.700m) / Pascal Dupuis ($1.500m)
James Neal ($2.875m) / Evgeni Malkin ($8.700m) / Steve Sullivan ($1.500m)
Matt Cooke ($1.800m) / Jordan Staal ($4.000m) / Tyler Kennedy ($2.000m)
Arron Asham ($0.775m) / Mark Letestu ($0.625m) / Craig Adams ($0.675m)
Paul Martin ($5.000m) / Zbynek Michalek ($4.000m)
Brooks Orpik ($3.750m) / Kristopher Letang ($3.500m)
Matt Niskanen ($1.500m) / Deryk Engelland ($0.566m)
Ben Lovejoy ($0.525m)
Marc-Andre Fleury ($5.000m) / Brent Johnson ($0.600m)
CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(these totals are compiled without the bonus cushion)
CAP SPACE (21-man roster): $2,983,333
That extra $1.8M allows the Pens to fill their final two roster spots (both forwards) with any of the following: (1) Eric Tangradi @ $845k; (2) Dustin Jeffrey @ ~$600k (RFA TBD); (3) Nick Johnson @ $550k; (4) Joe Vitale @ $512k; or (5) free agents. Another interesting option would be using Derek Engelland as a "swing winger" for toughness, and adding recently-signed Boris Valabik as the 7th defenseman on the roster.
Here's another scenario--the Pens could, as indicated by the Valabik signing, be in the trade market for another winger. Valabik, at $550k, is a nearly $1M savings over Matt Niskanen. Add to this the fact that the Pens' organization is stacked with young, nearly NHL-ready defensemen (Strait, Bortuzzo, Despres), and Niskanen's value beyond this year is minimal. I could easily see Ray Shero trading Niskanen (who is an RFA next summer) to a team willing to trade a winger in the $2.5M range for a puck-moving defenseman.
All of these scenarios, however, would be nearly impossible if the Pens had signed Jagr at $3.3M and remained only $1.2M under the salary cap with two spots to fill.
Advantage - Sullivan
When your brain's left side adds it all up, Steve Sullivan's a better signing than Jaromir Jagr. That doesn't take away the sting your brain's right side still feels from watching a former on-ice hero don the orange and black of those pieces of sh*t on the other end of the Turnpike. Believe me, it sucks. But it won't suck nearly as much when Jagr's packing his backs for Kladno in April while the Pens are still gunning for a Cup in the playoffs, thanks to a power play that now fires at above a pitiful 15.8%.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh and its southern suburbs have been cleaning up from flash flooding caused by heavy morning rains and were bracing for more of the same with additional storms forecast to hit the area during the evening rush hour.
The hardest hit areas appeared to be the Route 51 corridor through the south part of the city and into suburbs. Nearby areas, including Castle Shannon, Baldwin, and Bridgeville were the hardest hit.
Despite widespread reports of washed out roads, city and Allegheny County officials reported no fatalities or serious injuries. Three inches of rain or more fell in some areas Wednesday morning at the rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour.
That has prompted emergency officials to warn motorists to avoid roads that flooded in the morning, and to abide by barricades Wednesday evening.

A person cannot have too many credit cards. They will only damage your credit score if you have balances on them that you tend to forget to pay on time and in full. However, it is not ideal to have too many credit cards especially now that cases of identity theft are increasing. If you wish to close some of them, make sure that you close the ones which have the lowest credit limit and the shortest credit history so that they will not negatively affect your credit score. You can check your three bureau credit scores during this time so you can keep track of the impact of your cards on them.

Movie is better.
book better than the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this book is very similar to the movie! Love it!
Has some sexual jokes/themes...definately not for younger kids though. Different from the movie, for sure
i absolutely loved this book! it was so different from what i've read before!
I loved tis book so much!!!!!
I loved Lemonade Mouth! Each character was so well-developed, and the story line was incredibly original. I've heard this book compared to The Breakfast Club, which I love, but the two have little in common besides the 'band of outcasts' factor.
The best thing about this story was the fact that everything seemed to be perfect, a happy ending- but it wasn't. Then it was, but not in a fakey, all-is-wonderful way.
I can't say any more without spoiling it, but read this book. It will change the way you view life.
can't wait to read

The U.S. Navy just dropped another $2.4 billion on a class of new light aircraft carriers specifically designed to carry the U.S. Marines' F-35B stealth jump jet. Just one small problem: the F-35B is still plagued by design problems — and there's no guarantee if or when they'll be resolved.
The Navy and Marines run the risk of deploying miniaturized aircraft carriers without aircraft. And they're not alone. The planeless-carrier problem is afflicting a number of Western militaries.
On Friday the Navy awarded a $2.38 billion contract to Huntington Ingalls Industries in Pascagoula, Mississippi, to build the future USS Tripoli (LHA-7), the second and last vessel of the America class of big-deck amphibious assault ships. The future USS America (LHA-6), also under construction at Huntington Ingalls, is scheduled to leave the builder's yard in June. "LHA-7 will be a great ship," Ingalls president Irwin Edenzon crowed.
