Despite the Kings blow out victory in Minneapolis this afternoon, it wasn't all perfect as DeMarcus Cousins was ejected from his second NBA game late in the third quarter – and the process was pretty shameful. And per usual, the instigator in the situation wasn't the one punished. Shocking.
Scroll to about 39 seconds into the video and you can see the entire situation from start to finish.
First, we see Ridnour, unhappy from an earlier screen, give a full blown shove to Cousins which referee Violet Palmer sees the whole way. She runs in, separates the two before any further activities take place. Solid job.
But then you watch the rest of the situation unfold and you can't help but to shake your head.
First, across the court on the far sideline you see Bob Delaney (#26) casually walk over during the entire scene while Palmer and Micheal Smith attempt to maintain order. Had Delaney reacted properly as the situation began to take place, Cousins might have got a push in, at best.
Then, Delaney, apparently still sleeping, decides to randomly agree with Smith in his ejection of Cousins – and pretends to be a Major League umpire with his animated ejection call. Even worse though, Delaney follows Cousins down the court continuing to provoke DeMarcus since he was clearly unhappy with Cousins pushing his hand away earlier in the ruckus.
Did Cousins actually deserve to be thrown out from the game? Eh – I think, if properly handled, neither he nor Ridnour deserved to be removed from the game. Shoving matches happen all the time in the NBA – the situation looked to be under control. But, the fact that Ridnour wasn't removed from the game as well after his initial push is a joke.
Cousins clearly overreacted by pushing two Timberwolves as did Ridnour with his initial push of Cousins, but, the way that was handled by the refs, especially DeLaney, was awful.
I don't necessarily mind the ejection (though I don't agree with it) – and in no way am I sticking up for Cousins' or Ridnour's lack of self control, but I can't help but shake my head at how that went down, in general.
Thanks to KingsFlix for the vid.

They did a great job. They worked with me and were very reasonable. They came on time to set up at my venue. Besides the centerpieces, they provided bouquets and flowers for the groom and groomsmen. They provided rose petals for the flower girls and on the tables.

Knowing nothing about flowers, armed with only an idea of "the wild flower look" and my bridal colors for purple and blue, Flower Barn made exquisite bouquets for me and my girls. When they arrived on the morning of my wedding I was amazed. The bouquets where more beautiful than I had imagined them. Flower Barn was reasonably priced and flexile. I made some last minute changes , about two weeks out, and Flower barn dyed hydrangeas purple for me to make my wedding vision complete.

Used them for my wedding as they were recommended by my friend. Had a small budget to work with but they made it work! The centerpieces were gorgeous and I loved my bouquet. They were even helpful with adding on little things we forgot, like petals for flower girl and decorating our cake. We were so pleased with their service and floral arrangements

Flower Barn and its staff did an amazing job taking my vision of a topiary centerpiece and table-scape floral garland and fitting it within our budget. What is even better was that the florist made the table-scape look like we spent $10,000 on flowers when we spent a third of that! Our guests couldn't get over the beautiful ceremony flowers and the bouquets for me and my maids were so full of texture and were simply gorgeous. I knew that Flower Barn would do a fantastic job since they did a friend's wedding in July 2009 and my sister's wedding in July 2010, but we were still blown away with how everything came out. After the end of the night the florist had to come back to take down the centerpieces/table-scape and did so without any problems. I highly recommend Flower Barn and will use their services for all my floral needs.

Our flowers were so gorgeous!!! Mike and the staff at flowerbarn blew us away. They made our wedding day so beautiful and memorable. Mike is so easy to work with and is such an amazing person. I felt confident and knew that everything will be o.k. But I could not have imagined how magnificent my flowers would be. The centerpieces, my bouquet, groom's boutonniere, bridesmaids' bouquets, etc etc. Everything was fresh and beautiful. I chose a very classic look and went with a large, all ivory bouquet of timeless roses to create romantic look and feel AND I loved it!!!! They lasted over a week after the wedding was over. I would highly recommend flowerbarn; ask for Mike, he's awesome!

Mike at Flower Barn was amazing to work with. Its not often a vendor downsells you from what you want but Mike did that not once but twice; explaining I could do with half the number of centerpieces I originally wanted and also convincing me to keep a more expensive flower in the bouquet long after he had been paid and could have made a larger profit by switching along with my indecisive mind. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and totally affordable yet the quality. I couldnt have been happier with him.

text: ShareBeyond Google Analytics: New Ways to Track Your Site TrafficJan 27 2012, 06:14 PM by Shireen QudosiSo many business owners I've met have been completely baffled by Google Analytics – the go-to solution for website metrics. Google Analytics is great. I personally love it, but what good is it for the average business owner that doesn't understand new media, let alone how to implement tracking and how to make heads or tails of the analysis? If you don't understand what you're looking at, you certainly won't know how to fix what's wrong and keep what's right. That's why I'm really keen on sharing other ways business owners can still check site metrics in a way they can access and understand. If you're a frustrated small business owner or interested in DIY marketing, check out some of these alternative analytics tools… Understand Site Traffic with… ClickTracks (from Lyris) tells you exactly where your visitors are heading to when arriving on your page. Find out what pages they're visiting (and not visiting). Note the distinction between site navigation and site clicks, which you can figure out by using Crazy Egg for a "heat map" of site traffic. It's critical to know where your visitors are going. What navigation process are they taking and what are they clicking on first? You can use this data to tailor your page to make the navigation more user-friendly, to make sure visitors find it simpler to get to the pages you want, or to even shuffle around or redesign key items on your home page based on the "heat map" results. If you're in e-commerce, you want to bump the effort up a notch and look into "real-time" reporting, which is what Indextools offers (acquired by Yahoo!). It creates a digital one-way mirror into your customers' shopping habits. Tackle Blogging Efforts with… Blogs are booming. Take Huffington Post for instance, which started as a near overnight venture that went national incredibly quickly if you consider the time it takes for a publication to establish itself. It's not one of the heavyweight media outlets. You've got Huffpo and then you've got a dozen other small time, design-obtuse blogs that still get a lot of attention, even if they're not heavy hitters just yet. What are they doing right? For one, I can bet they're not ignoring their statistics. If you've got a blog, you should be using whatever tools your platform gives you to measure stats, including FeedBurner for RSS feeds. Most platforms however offer pretty limited built in stat counters – unless of course you've implemented analytics. Some other tools you might want to try out include MeasureMap, Mind, Performancing and Pheedo. MeasureMap tracks traffic, inbound links and comments (as of this posting, MeasureMap has been purchased by Google), while Mint looks into traffic, referrers and feeds. Performancing is much the same while Pheedo is more useful for a subscription-based site with conversion and advertising interests. Because Competition Always Matters… I always stress competitor analysis, so it should come as no surprise that you should be scoping your competitor just as much as you scope your own metrics. Some great sites to do just that with include Alexa, Compete and Hitwise. If you're looking for something more thorough and you're willing to invest, check out Nielsen/NetRatings, which will review your site with others and provide thorough feedback. For straight industry trends – again, a must – check out comScore. Remember that you don't have to have a matrix-like data feedback for your site. If it's just you implementing and analyzing the data, then start small with something manageable but also useful. Each business and industry will have its own needs. While some businesses will prefer to really focus on visitor habits, including real time tracking, others will place a sole emphasis on traffic. The choice is really yours.Posted in Tips & Resources, SEO, Online Tools and ApplicationsRelated Blogs5 Metrics to Track with Your Email AnalyticsAsk Your Subscribers a Stupid Question on September 28Online Marketing Is Pointless (Bad Advice from the Dark Side)The Remarkable Power of A/B Testing for Email MarketingBoost Your Email Marketing Metrics by Crafting Great PreheadersCommentsSteven PearlJan 31 2012, 02:57 AMThere is a CRM integrated solution called IntelliClick that provides a blend of email tracking and web site visitor navigation tracking all tied back to the contact database.

The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus garners Buffalo a lot bragging rights, but is it the city's best-kept secret, one that could be better publicized?
From new hospitals and research centers to startup companies and business incubators, it seems there is always a new development in the works on the medical campus. Neil Fraser, president of Medtronic of Canada, who toured the BNMC earlier this year, says progress on the medical campus is step one. He was so impressed with what he saw that now he wants to take things further and get leaders from the health-care industry in Canada to visit Buffalo (and vice-versa) for an exchange of ideas and opportunities.
Officials with World Trade Center Buffalo Niagara agree that introducing key cross border leaders will create a grass roots exposure for Buffalo. The organization is "rapidly expanding into the Canadian marketplace" so that could get the ball rolling. You can read more about the effort in this week's Business First.
Business First is hosting a Social Media Boot Camp next week to help people learn how to use social media to build their business and careers. It will be held on May 22nd, from 8am to 11am, at Salvatore's. The goal is to get a grasp on social media marketing that can work for you!

Series Story: After a hard fought series filled series filled with plenty of drama, trash talk and hard fouls the Bulls finally finished off the pesky Pacers in five games.
Series MVP (Bulls): Derrick Rose. There is no question about it Derrick Rose will be the Bulls MVP from here on out, despite having off games he simply carried his team over the Pacers and his furious comeback in Game One would have been the best single player performance of the Opening Round if it wasn't for Chris Paul and Brandon Roy.
Series MVP (Pacers): I really wanted to give this to Psycho T but this has to go to Danny Granger. Granger turned into a leader in this series and wasn't afraid to back up his teammates even after the series was over, calling out Joakim Noah for playing dirty in Game Five. Granger has showed maturity and seems to be ready to lead the Pacers next season.
Unsung Hero: Kyle Korver. All he does is hit big threes and he was at it once again in this series, how does this guy get open again?
Best Game: Game One. Psycho T going off in the second half and Derrick Rose ripping out the Pacers heart in the final five minutes.
Turning Point: Has to be Game One, we will never know how this series would have went if the Pacers didn't collaps in the fourth quarter of that game.
What We Learned About the Bulls: This series showed that if the Bulls are going to move forward they need huge games from Derrick Rose every night. the Pacers played tough defense, employing some of the tactics the Bad Boy Pistons used on MJ's Bulls, shutting down the rest of the Bulls and fouling Rose early and often, trying to get under his skin. If other teams focus on shutting everyone else down and just letting Rose get his, the Bulls will obviously need the MVP type performances they expect out of Rose every game in order to win.
Pacers Silver Lining: With a young team and a commitment to playing tough defense the Pacers can only get better. Of course we said this about the Bobcats last year, but with a talented core of; Granger, Collison, Hibbert, Hansbrough, George and McRoberts the Pacers can only improve.

How magic-based medicine thrives
Well here's a thought: perhaps they are popular because they don't work. Sound ridiculous? Then read on…
New out in PloS ONE is a model of the uptake of medical treatments, both effective and ineffective, by a multidisciplinary team (evolutionary biologists Mark Tanaka (University of New South Wales) and Kevin Laland (University of St Andrews), and anthropologist Jeremy Kendal).
They started from two basic assumptions: that people start using new treatments (both effective and ineffective) when they see other people using them, and that they stop using treatments if their disease drags on. Crucially, the model creators assume that people have no direct way of telling whether a treatment is effective or not.
What happens next depends on the other assumptions. The simplest case is for illnesses from which people recover naturally and don't relapse. In this scenario, ineffective, magic-based medicine is in fact highly likely to spread.
Why? Simply because the disease lasts longer if the treatment doesn't work, and that means more opportunities for others to learn about it and pick it up themselves.
Now, there is a countervailing effect, of course. Diseases that drag on are likely to trigger people to abandon their treatment. Which effect wins (picking up ineffective treatments, or abandoning treatments as the disease drags on) depends on the assumptions you feed into the model.
Illnesses with a quick spontaneous recovery and people who are reluctant to abandon treatments are fertile territory for magical cures. One implication is that people and societies that are highly conservative (meaning that they are resistant to change) will find themselves lumbered with useless medicines.
If you complicate the model, then the prospects for effective treatments get better. For example, if people can learn about treatments from those who have recovered, then the advantage that magical medicine gets from prolonging disease drops.
And if the disease can recur, then the chances of transmitting effective, rather than ineffective treatments goes up again.
So this model makes some pretty concrete predictions. Magic-based medicine will be particularly popular to treat diseases that clear up by themselves, that rarely re-occur, and where people look for advice mainly to people who have the disease now, rather than at some time in the past. And it will also be prevalent in societies where tradition has a powerful hold.
Is this prediction valid? Well, my totally subjective opinion is that, in Western society at least, most purveyors of quack medicine target people with chronic, non-life threatening conditions. A quick shufty at WorldHealthCenter reveals that the top 5 products all target chronic digestive problems or fear of heavy metal poisoning.
Not really what this model predicts. But this probably reflects the prevalence of these health concerns and the prophylactic nature of the treatment, rather than a predilection for magical cures.
What's more, there is another powerful factor at work here – prestige bias (i.e. we tend to defer to the opinion of doctors, especially for serious conditions). So proper testing of the model will take some real investigative work.
There's a nagging question though. What about that assumption made right up front – that people adopt treatments regardless of their effectiveness? Common sense says that's not going to happen – people are obviously going to prefer the treatments that appear to be effective.
Except it's not that simple to work out which treatments work, and which don't. Modern medicine relies on large, carefully controlled trials to sort the wheat from the chaff – and even then it can take trials recruiting hundreds or even thousands of patients to detect the signal through the statistical noise.
Your average person – no matter how smart or how diligent – hasn't got a hope. In some ways, it's a miracle that any traditional remedies are effective at all!
Tanaka, M., Kendal, J., & Laland, K. (2009). From Traditional Medicine to Witchcraft: Why Medical Treatments Are Not Always Efficacious PLoS ONE, 4 (4) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0005192

Tom, what can I say? - thanks for the reference! I saw this study in St Andrews as a poster and wanted to contact Tanaka to get the article (Laland was at the meeting as he was organising it but was so busy that I did not have the heart to bother him with it). It is a very elegant piece of work and it will be most useful for me - and it is hardly the first paper like that that you have mentioned!ReplyDelete
That St Andrews meeting sounds like a great event - a lot of interesting people there!ReplyDelete

It's most often that "official" medical treatments are quacks. Especially chemotherapy and statins, that either kill or damage the patient. At the same time natural treatments work. I mean vitamins, organic food, excercise, and some herbs like cat's claw or astralagus.ReplyDelete

Happy happy friday!
This week has been a fasty fast one, and this weekend I have my Pilates course so that will for sure fly by as well…which I'm ok with because next week my Mr. & I's friends from Seattle are coming into town — can't even explain how happy we are to be a host to these lovelies (finally) haha.
Nala is anxiously awaiting their arrival.
Guess what?? I've finally received my planter box for my herb garden! I couldn't wait to get my hands dirty, I just love the idea of having all of the herbs you need just a few footsteps away. Because let's be honest, herbs are pricey, yet essential.
I planted basil, cilantro, parsley, oregano, mint, sage, thyme, jalapenos, thai chili peppers, and cayenne peppers. I aslo picked up a lime & a lemon tree in the process because I can't get enough of lemon & limes, I use them everyday whether it's in my tea or guacamole.
I love fresh flowers, especially when their from my garden.
In a few weeks my Mr. & I will be headed to Costa Rica — the anticipation is killing me. I just can't wait to see it all : the people, the food, the rain forest, the animals, ocean, etc. Not to mention all the designers have the rainforest in mind with all of their spring/summer lines….lovin' it.

I'm always on the lookout for vegan cheese recipes that get close enough to the real thing to satisfy my craving. (See motto.)
I found this recipe for Simple Almond Cheese at Rawmazing. Surprisingly good. Definitely a keeper and very easy to make. Kind of a cross between feta and ricotta.
I made a couple of adjustments to the recipe:
— added 1 tablespoon of miso for a little more of the salty tang of cheese.
— added two or three good shakes (~ 1T) of McCormick Perfect Pinch Lemon Herb Seasoning because it was on hand.
— used sea salt because I need to use it up before I go buying more fancy salt.
— used a dirty sock instead of….oh, alright, not really.
I'm thinking this cheese go well with pizza. Speaking of pizza, Urban Earthworm made these, which I will definitely be trying.

Latest play finds Lamb's at 'Points' uncharted
Amid financial challenges, Coronado company welcomes new actors
When the play "Brownie Points" has its local premiere at Lamb's Players Theatre this week, some top San Diego actors will be making their first-ever appearances on the Coronado company's stage.
For any theater, such prime casting would seem a sign of health and artistic growth. For Lamb's, it may be the happiest development amid seismic changes that have otherwise left the 40-year-old institution reeling.
"Brownie Points"
Lamb's Players Theatre
When: In previews. Opens April 20. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Thursdays; 8 p.m. Fridays; 4 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Through May 27.
Where: 1142 Orange Ave., Coronado
Tickets: $26-$60
Phone: (619) 437-6000
Online: lambsplayers.org
This month, in the face of persistent financial troubles, Lamb's disbanded most of its resident acting ensemble, a longtime signature of the company and a keystone of its community-minded approach. It was the latest and most painful attempt to address what producing artistic director Robert Smyth says is now a $900,000 debt.
Plenty of theaters boast regular ensembles of actors and artists whose professional lives revolve around that troupe. But Lamb's was the only one in San Diego County to maintain a year-round acting company that was paid full-time salaries and benefits.
Now Lamb's is doing what virtually every other local theater (big and small) does: Offer contracts to actors primarily on a per-production basis.
"Brownie Points" — Janece Shaffer's seriocomic, five-woman play that delves into matters of parenting and race — marks the Lamb's debuts of Monique Gaffney and Karson St. John, two high-profile, award-winning San Diego actors. (They're joined by Kaja Dunn, Cynthia Gerber and Erika Beth Phillips, who've all worked with Lamb's previously; casting took place before the latest changes to the ensemble were announced.)
Meantime, actors who had been mainstays of Lamb's productions for years are cobbling together roles elsewhere or finding other work, although many will continue to do at least the occasional Lamb's show.
Smyth maintains that the ensemble spirit nevertheless still reigns at Lamb's, whose $4 million annual budget makes it easily the county's third-largest theater behind the Old Globe and La Jolla Playhouse. And he hopes Lamb's, which has Christian roots and strives to ground its programming in values and spirituality, eventually can return to sustaining a full-time company, perhaps in 2014.
"The whole reason we set up the theater to begin with was to work as a community, and to realize there's something unique and special about a group of people who have a commitment to work together, and about a group of artists who have an artistic home," he says. "That will never leave us."
Although Lamb's laid off some administrative staffers in 2010 and took other cost-cutting steps as recession wracked the company, the ensemble was preserved because "we had a commitment to keep the model going," Smyth says. (Lamb's paid a total of about $2.5 million in salaries and benefits for fiscal year 2010, according to tax records.)
But as revenues from donations and individual ticket sales continued to dwindle, "that's when we decided this model is no longer sustainable," Smyth says, adding with a rueful laugh: "We're slow learners."

Speedway would love to have a government cap on card fees. How will Speedway like it when the government puts a cap on gasoline prices? The answer is to drive prices down with more competition and less collusion in credit and debit cards, not government price controls. Peter Staats Loveland

Opinions on car themed artwork used to decorate a guy's house or apartment
Since moving out on my own I've been starting to decorate my place. There are a few pieces of artwork/ paintings that I enjoy however my main theme is cars. I have a passion for then and honestly see them as a type of art, in some cases. What are your opinions on a guy's place being decorated with framed car posters, garage signs, antique garage signs, and paintings of cars?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I got the image of my nephew's Lightning McQueen room lolIf it's just a bunch of pictures of cars hanging around, I would find it a little bland (it's not decor in that case, it's a room with pictures of cars lol). With other details, like the garage signs, it could be pretty cool. If my boyfriend had a car theme and I saw something that I thought fit into it well, I would get it for him. I like themed decor though, so I would want to help him make it work.
What Girls Said 1
IT might be cool. Sort of depends. I would need to see a photo of it. Chicks are not into that stuff too much but it all sort of depends. When you get married all that stuff will be shoved into the "man cave"
Marriage is a little far in the future for me, when that comes Ill decorate the garage lol. My friends get on me about having a car "obsession", maybe I do. But shouldn't artwork express your tastes and what you enjoy?
Yes, it's great to be passionate about something. IT's fine, it's part of who you are.

Thomas Morley
Biography(born: Norwich, 1557-8; died: London, early Oct 1602)
English composer. A pupil of Byrd, he was master of the choristers at Norwich Cathedral (1583-7) before becoming organist of St Paul's Cathedral, London (by 1589), and a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal (1592). From 1598 he held the patent for music printing that had once been Byrd's. At some period he was also employed as a government spy. A most influential figure, as composer, music editor and theorist, he wrote service music, anthems, psalms and Latin motets as well as over 100 madrigals and lighter secular works (1593-7), accompanied solo songs (1600) and keyboard and other instrumental music. His editions and anthologies of Italian music, some with new English texts, were chiefly responsible for the Elizabethan vogue for Italian madrigals; and he edited the famous English madrigal anthology The Triumphes of Oriana (1601). His renowned Plaine and Easie Introduction (1597), a practical and lively treatise in dialogue form, was long popular.

Google shows off scanned-in Gettysburg Address drafts
Google has decided to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address by "showcasing" digital copies of all five versions of Abraham Lincoln's iconic speech. The company said that the Google Cultural Institute exhibit showcases not only the address itself, but the history leading up to and after Lincoln delivered the …
Gettysburg Adress: Still Balderdash after 150 Years
James Bovard, November 19, 2013
I am mystified by all the whooping on the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. Most of the commentators seem to believe that Lincoln was an honest man touting the highest ideals.
The fact that warmongers like George W. Bush and Obama purport to idolize Lincoln should be a warning sign to attentive folks.
Massachusetts abolitionist Lysander Spooner offered the most concise refutation to President Lincoln's claim that the Civil War was fought to preserve a "government by consent." Spooner observed, "The only idea . . . ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this—that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot."
The main lesson from the Gettysburg address is – the more vehemently a president equates democracy with freedom, the greater the danger he likely poses to Americans' rights. Lincoln was by far the most avid champion of democracy among nineteenth century presidents—and the president with the greatest visible contempt for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Lincoln swayed people to view national unity as the ultimate test of the essence of freedom or self-rule. That Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, jailed 20,000 people without charges, forcibly shut down hundreds of newspapers that criticized him, and sent in federal troops to shut down state legislatures was irrelevant because he proclaimed "that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
Lincoln's rhetoric cannot be judged apart from the actions he authorized to enforce his "ideals":
In a September 17, 1863, letter to the War Department, Gen. William Sherman wrote: "The United States has the right, and … the … power, to penetrate to every part of the national domain. We will remove and destroy every obstacle — if need be, take every life, every acre of land, every particle of property, everything that to us seems proper." President Lincoln liked Sherman's letter so much that he declared that it should be published.
On June 21, 1864, before his bloody March to the Sea, Sherman wrote to the secretary of war: "There is a class of people [in the South] — men, women, and children, who must be killed or banished before you can hope for peace and order."
On October 9, 1864, Sherman wrote to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant: "Until we can repopulate Georgia, it is useless to occupy it, but the utter destruction of its roads, houses, and people will cripple their military resources." Sherman lived up to his boast — and left a swath of devastation and misery that helped plunge the South into decades of poverty.
General Grant used similar tactics in Virginia, ordering his troops "make all the valleys south of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad a desert as high up as possible." The Scorched Earth tactics the North used made life far more difficult for both white and black survivors of the Civil War.
Lincoln was blinded by his belief in the righteousness of federal supremacy. His abuses set legions of precedents that subverted the vision of government the Founding Fathers bequeathed to America.
Re: shock horror!
.... whereas all the South wanted to do was continue with slavery - pig ignorant conservatism clashing headlong with far from perfect enlightenment. Oh the humanity.
Re: shock horror!
It is not that simple. There was a lot more to the Civil War than the false dichotomy of "free the slaves" vs "keep the slaves" people have reduced this to. Lincoln was a political hack in the extreme. Slavery didn't need a war to bring it to an end -- in many nations at the time, it ended, simply because it was no longer profitable. (not that slavery has totally ended as of this day -- there is a lot of slavery yet in this world.)
Being right doesn't make the OP wrong
"The only idea . . . ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this—that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot."
It's a fair comment on modern politics. Nobody cares who the hell is locked up in the land of the free so long as they are kept out of sight. Lincoln was Churchillian in his use of canon fodder and couldn't kill Americans fast enough. Churchillian to in his constantly switching generals in the search for better butchers who would do what he wanted.
And just like Churchill, he had his hand on the writing of history. It's no good winning at any price if people wake up to what you did, obviously.
"all the South wanted to do was continue with slavery"
It's hard to imagine a willing populace so hell bent on keeping slavery when the sons were dying like flies. Were slaves worth that much?
And did every family have slaves they valued so much more than their own flesh and blood?
Re: Being right doesn't make the OP wrong
I. Aproveofitspendingonspecificprojects, given the chronological order, perhaps you meant that Churchill was Lincolnian in the list of actions above? (Unless by Churchillian and cannon fodder, you were referring to Marlborough at Malplaquet?)
Regarding slaves on the eve of the US Civil War, the price of a youthful slave in good health was comparable to that of a small house at the time, roughly five times the annual salary of an average middle-class worker. According to the 1860 US census, 26% of households in what would become the CSA had at least one slave. Were slaves worth that much to the free people of the CSA? We only have the historical record to inform us on their thoughts on the matter.
Re: Being right doesn't make the OP wrong
On the issue of the US civil war and slavery, would it be pertinent to point out that the emancipation proclamation (the executive order Lincoln passed to free the slaves) only applied to slaves held in the southern states - it did not in any way free slaves held in the actual states of the union (some union states were emancipated, others were not at the time of the proclamation) - it's purpose was not to free all slaves but to fill a big hole in the recruitment drive for the Union armies (specifically provided for in the proclamation).....
The 'freed' slaves, of course, were not granted actual citizenship or given the right to vote or anything like that, either.
@Destroy All Monsters -- Re: Bioshock! -- And remember these undisputed facts!
Remember these undisputed facts:
(a) The Union under Lincoln started the Civil War, not the South.
- Just one instance of the many early warmongering efforts by the North: Lincoln's scheming little warmongering mate, the Zouave, Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth, who Lincoln so idolised you'd reckon they were having an affair, was ramping up trouble with his Zouave Cadets in 1860 many months before Sumter—long before he, Ellsworth, crossed the Potomac with a few mates into Alexandria, Virginia to tear down a Confederate flag from the Marshall House Inn, where in so doing its southern owner shot him dead.
- Lincoln, in the months between his election and inauguration did nothing and said nothing whatsoever to ameliorate or placate people on both sides; the heat for war ramped up during this time. After his inauguration, he was more intent on saving the Union than avoiding war or protecting his citizens from war. To Lincoln, the Union was more paramount than the lives of his soldiers or those from the South—both American citizens; simply, his deeds and actions can't be read any other way. Either the Gettysburg address was a hollow gesture made for political purposes, or it was his contrition and remorse for letting events get totally out of hand—events that he as president could have and should have stopped!
- The way the Confederate's bombarding of Fort Sumter started was because of incompetent handling of the Fort Sumter tensions by the Union. Major Robert Anderson's actions of moving his federal troops from Fort Moultrie to Sumter turned into a disaster the North could have avoided (Anderson's hardly to blame, as commander, he had to protect his troops). The real problem was screwed-up politics in Lincoln's War Department (too long to explain here except to mention that Lincoln's secretary of war, John Floyd, was playing a double game that Lincoln as commander-in-chief didn't get on top of) hence Sumter smouldered and eventually exploded.
- And there's much more...
(b) NO MATER HOW ONE DOES THE SUMS, President Abraham Lincoln presided over the most deadly of wars in American history—in the Civil War there were more casualties and deaths of mainly young Americans than for the total of ALL other wars that US has ever been involved in. I repeat, there were more Americans casualties in the Civil War than for WWI, WWII, Vietnam, etc. combined—upward of one million soldiers! Lincoln's war record is just diabolical by any measure—no other commander in American history comes even close.
For various reasons, Lincoln's historical memory has had a charmed life but it's high time it was reassessed. No doubt, the Gettysburg speech, his assassination and the fact that the North was victorious contributed to Lincoln's idolisation over the last century and a half but cold hard facts speak for themselves. Nevertheless, to me it seems improbable that any reasonable reassessment of Lincoln is likely to come from within the US as this issue is still far too with raw for most Americans to handle with any objectivity.
Why should we outsiders so concern ourselves with American history? It's simple really, US hegemony—US worldview and its imperial role in the world today—essentially stems from the North's dominance over the South. American attitudes to governance, power, their self-righteousness and belief they've a right to impose their views on the world essentially stem from the outcome of the Civil War. Even though these views were prevalent at independence and onward, the Civil War reinforced them.
Issues over Lincoln and the Civil War are no longer just the concerns of the US; by its actions the US has ensured that they now belong to us as well.
@Uffish -- Re: shock horror!
... whereas all the South wanted to do was continue with slavery...
...And righted by Lincoln and the North at the cost of nearly one million war casualties--young Americans in the prime of life.
A pretty terrible price to pay to end an institution that was already on its way out. A real statesman would have found a better way.
My favorite version of the Gettysburg Address ...
... is also the best critique of PowerPoint that I have seen to date.
Re: My favorite version of the Gettysburg Address ...
I love the Organizational Overview (slide 5 of 6) -utterly, utterly, useless!
Re: My favorite version of the Gettysburg Address ...
Lincoln was a massive ass who paved the road away from the rule of law for the political class. In his push for equality he created a completely seperate class of privileged leaders. He did free the slaves in the South, and that's a good thing, but he did it the wrong way. The entire world is still paying for it. Meh, he was just a lawyer though, I guess nobody can be surprised he screwed everybody to reach his own goals.
Anyway, I don't see this as a 'big thing' for Google, I see it as a massive failure on the parts of our higher education and interpretive learning (museums) institutions. Those institutions should have done this ages ago. They were too busy dicking around with the Commercialization of learning to bother actually doing something educational though.
I find it wholly unsatisfactory that educational institutions have not only prioritized a commercial route over their stated mission, they dropped the ball on the Commercialization front to a commercial entity. They failed twice!
Christ on a stick. Putting business people in charge of education is possibly the single dumbest thing this country has ever done. We could save shitloads of money if we just closed the universities and gave everybody a Chromebook, a Nexus and a never ending prescription for Xanax. The results couldn't be any worse.

The founding fathers had the idea in a London department store?
Re: a new nation, conceived in Liberty...
No, Liberty was the name of Ben Franklin's favorite sheep. That gets glossed over these days.
* The 150-year-old Gettysburg address is considered to be a public domain work
Yuh mean there's something still left in the public domain after the RIAA and MPAA et al have rampaged and pillaged through all the out-of-copyright material, scanned and tweaked it and thus automatically re-copyrighted everything again.
Unlike them to miss something this important.

Hi, Marcia. Lexapro isn't one of the antidepressants that is real notorious for causing weight gain, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Depression itself can cause some people to gain weight because they become less active, might eat out of need for comfort, etc. You should probably talk about this with your doctor, at any rate, to see if that's what it is or if you need a little more time to know.
Good luck. I know it's disappointing when something that's supposed to help you has an unwanted side effect, but maybe it's from something else.
What Judy said is right.
I have also heard an expert say that when you are depressed, you can lose your appetite, lose the comfort that food can provide. So when an antidepressant begins to lighten your mood, your interest in food also rekindles and because of that, you may eat more and gain weight. But believe me, I know from experience that many medications wreak havoc with weight control. It could be the Lexapro. Have you looked up the "prescribing information" on Lexapro? It should show a list of side effects ranging from "frequent" to "infrequent" and "rare." If an increased appetite or weight gain is listed there, then I would assume it IS the culprit. If it is working for you, then try to stick with the Lexapro. But there are many other antidepressants out there (you may have tried a few) if the weight becomes an issue.
Best wishes to you.

Look around at the smartphone world's Q3 numbers, and the only sensible conclusion is that Android is dominating the landscape. 75% worldwide market share (IDC) around the world, over 90% market share in China (Analysis International), wherever you look you will find immense headline numbers. The truth behind the statistics is a little bit more nuanced, and careful examination leads me to conclude that this could be as good as it's going to get for Android.
That's not to say Android will suddenly stop selling. Sales will continue, raw numbers are going to continue to climb, but the market share numbers have been strong due to a unique set of circumstances that are unlikely to happen again.
Right now we are experiencing 'Peak Android' share.
The current numbers are for Q3 2012, and that creates the perfect storm. Android's four main rivals were all in fallow periods of their life cycle, allowing Android to stampede all over them.
Take Apple. Every single sign was that a new iPhone was on the way at the traditional end of September press event. It wouldn't surprise me if people were waiting to see what sort of impact Tim Cook would have on the company as well. Sure enough the iPhone 5 came to pass and opened to fantastic sales that continue to climb. Next September we'll be expecting a small bump to an iPhone 5S which will not depress sales as much. In fact the lower pricing on the iPhone leading up to a 5S reveal will probably help Apple's bottom line.
Microsoft effectively 'Osbourned' the Windows Phone 7 platform as a high-end platform with their announcement at the end of Q2 of Windows Phone 8. Even though Nokia has said that the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 continued to perform well, serious sales and consumer demand evaporated. HTC's second generation Windows Phone, the Titan 2, never escaped the shadow of the Lumia 900. Samsung didn't even bother to play the Windows Phone game, and said they'd be waiting for Windows Phone 8 for their next major handset.
Research in Motion fans were in a similar situation, knowing that BlackBerry 10 OS was on the way, and is now due out late January 2013.
And Symbian entered the classic car market, with pockets of fans championing the final handset (the Nokia 808 Pureview) but everyone else went looking for something a bit more modern and user friendly.
That alternative option was Android. A number of standout handsets were announced in Q2 and became available in vast numbers during Q3. Stepping out into the High Street the Samsung Galaxy S3, backed up by the HTC One range, found no competition in the stores, had the airwaves clear for advertising, and a tech press hungry for stories.
Android was the only player in the game for the summer.
This pattern has been especially noticeable in China, but this has been repeated all over the world in the majority of territories. Couple the high-end domination with an explosion of mid and low range devices from companies like ZTE and Huawei that are replacing the 'dumb' and 'featurephone' categories with Android devices and you have the perfect storm.
With no other viable choice in the market, everything was going to line up behind Android for Q3.
The opposing forces have sorted themselves out now. Okay Symbian is only going to be waving from the sidelines like Private Godfrey, everyone else is ready. Apple has the iPhone 5 and it's going gangbusters while the iPad Mini and the latest iPad are reminding everyone who made the tablet market viable. Big shipping numbers, lots of volume, that's going to make a dent in the Android market share.
Windows Phone 8 is a curious beast. It's unlikely to not sell at all, but neither can we expect it to get to double digit market share when handsets are only on sale for half of Q4. But it's going to do something, and Microsoft are a cornered beast – they have to make this one work. So do Nokia, and arguably HTC see Windows Phone as their chance to make a difference. Redmond's mobile platform has broken the 100,000 application mark (around 130,000 apps are available at the moment) and has a good foundation to build on.
What does Android have in the near future? The Nexus devices have been launched, but I'm not expecting them to be significant players in terms of share. Samsung is selling as many Galaxy S3′s as it can make, HTC are focusing on Windows Phone, and mobile networks are looking to keep a diverse profile of devices in stores. Android is now where the rest of the market was in the middle of the year… between major devices.
Unit sales and volume on every mobile platform are going to continue to grow during 2013, but in terms of market share and dominance, Android is at the peak of its power.
Google, take a screenshot to remember Q3 2012. It's hard to see these percentages ever being repeated.

An investigation using volume, surface area... to explore whether giants really can exist! Makes good display work too!
Please provide a rating.
Great resource - puts length, area and volume enlargements into a context which will be interesting for the kids. Thanks.
Great idea - thank you
This is a really interesting investigation which gets students to think about weight, volume and ratio in order to determine whether some statements about giants are accurate. There are references to films which would really engage students and the investigation itself requires students to work with multi-link. Thank you for sharing.

We had so much fun doing our Countdown to Kickoff series last season that we decided to do it again. In case you're new to the series, we'll do a roster preview as we count down the days until the Chicago Bears September 7th season opener against the Buffalo Bills.
68 more days from now, I will be glued to the TV as the Bears battle the Bills. I am as excited for a season as I have ever been. The number 68 on the Bears is possibly the most solid player on the team, Matt Slauson. Last year he ranked as the Bears best offensive lineman and as the sixth best guard in the league, according to pro football focus. I expect him to be as durable as always and play sixteen good games for the bears this season (and hopefully three to four more good ones after the season!).
Interesting fact about Slauson: He was born in Sweet Home, Oregon. I find that to be an interesting name for a city.
I think that Slauson is one of the more underrated linemen in the game and he is an extremely valuable asset to the offensive line. He's 28 years old, so I think he can be a key contributor to the Bears for a long time.

Robins always have been a sign of spring, but that's changing, and only the robins know why.
Mr. Hager said, while some robins stuck around the area, "Ithink we can say with a fair amount of confidence that the robins that are here now probably came from the north" -- Wisconsin or Minnesota and the southern part of Canada.
Mr. Hager said robins and other semi-hardies usually eat heavily throughout late summer and early fall to prepare for migration from late fall to early winter and a return to the area about mid-March.
In winter, there's barely enough food for them to eat to build the energy needed to regulate their body temperature, let alone to store enough fat to make it hundreds of miles.

Pitstop II Wii
- Publisher: Commodore
- Release Date: Feb 23, 2009
- Summary: Pitstop II was the first racing game that brought the thrill of battling an opponent, the excitement of fighting for the lead out on the track, and the suspense of struggling to be the first out of the pits to the computer screen. Third-person graphics and a split-screen display allowed up to two players to experience the challenge of head-to-head car racing. Six of the world's toughest racetracks are waiting, from Brands Hatch and its hairpin turns to the mile-long straight of Vallelunga. You can practice against the computer, but nothing will compare to the fun of racing against another person. That's the whole story behind Pitstop II. It's simple--car racing was never meant to be a solo sport!… Expand

Meaningless Lost In LifeI was blind...That was childhood...World was passion, a joy of feelings, hopes and dreams. A growing flame i used to be....Now, I'm finally opening my eyes to the world -adolescence- The flame fades away in the real dark...How to keep your dreams alive when everybody makes them seem too high?!...Though I used to dream of a better world,of making a difference in the world, there's no passion, there's no feeling anymore, neither something to hold on... There's no feeling, there's no hope, there's no flame, just another meaningless ME, fading away, lost in life...Hoping the end will be a better start.
My childhood was the happiest time of my life. Things were far from perfect, but my mum worked wonders to protect me from these problems to give me the best childhood possible. Then came adulthood...and that bright, happy and innocent world was lost forever. Adulthood has brought nothing but betrayal, empty dreams and bitter disappointments. Becoming an adult has been probably one of the most tragic things to happen to me.
Thank you waterlily for posting this, because if you would have not, I wouldn't have read these beautifull comments, Thank You :)
waterlily it sounds like you are suffering from depression . i have also had that problem my whole life but there are some things which can make it go away at least for awhile. if you find a job where you can help others it may assist with that. i don't want to sound like a know it all . :-)<br />
when i was 17 i had just finished school and i felt like a useless nothing dork . then i got a job as a nurses assistant for 2 months at the local government hospital . to cut a long story short one of my duties was to feed a man who no longer had a bottom jaw with a syringe every day.i would sqeeze the liquidised food into the back of his throat so he could swallow. i felt very awkward at 1st but he thanked me with his eyes every time . during this time i felt like a useful human . if you help others your life will have meaning . :-)

CHARLOTTESVILLE — As Virginia approached its most pressure-packed game of the season Monday night, Josh Sborz wasn't the first name to come to mind to help send the Cavaliers into the College World Series.
By the end of the evening, he'd solidified his place among the most memorable performances in U.Va. baseball postseason history. A curtain call from appreciative U.Va. fans at Davenport Field awaited Sborz after a brilliant seven innings on the mound in an 11-2 victory against Maryland in the decisive Game 3 of a best-of-three super regional.
Sborz shrugged off nearly an entire month of inactivity and third baseman Kenny Towns came up with two big early hits to lead the Cavaliers. U.Va. (49-14), which is the national No. 3 seed, is headed to Omaha, Neb., for the CWS for the first time since 2011, and the third time in school history.
"I had complete confidence in Josh Sborz going out there (Monday)," U.Va. coach Brian O'Connor said. "That guy has really electric stuff...When his team needed him the most, he stepped up and was absolutely dominating for seven innings."
U.Va. will play its first game in Omaha on Sunday night at 8 against Mississippi, which defeated Louisiana-Lafayette on Monday night in Game 3 of another super regional. U.Va.'s return trip to Omaha came with far less final at-bat drama than it had in 2011, when it took Game 3 of a super regional in Charlottesville with a 3-2 win against UC Irvine.
"It feels better without the drama," O'Connor said. "I can tell you 2011 was absolutely gut-wrenching how we won that one, but they're all special because every team is different...You know, the 3-2 walk-off wins to go to Omaha are exciting, but I'll take these (wider margins of victory). The 3-2 ones add to this gray hair I have. This (Game 3 win against Maryland) was a little bit more comfortable."
Sborz (5-4), a 6-foot-3, 225-pound sophomore right-hander from McLean, made sure Maryland (40-23) wasn't much of a threat to ruin U.Va.'s hopes of returning to the CWS.
Over the course of seven innings, he used a fastball that touched 97 miles per hour on the radar gun to scatter four hits, while walking three and striking out nine on 111 pitches — a pretty impressive outing considering he'd only pitched 2 2/3 innings in relief since his last start May 10 against Georgia Tech.
In those innings out of the bullpen against Wake Forest (two innings) and Florida State (2/3 of an inning), he gave up a combined seven hits and four earned runs, taking the loss against FSU in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Prior to the ACC tournament, he was bumped from the No. 2 starter role he'd been in all season and replaced by senior Artie Lewicki in that role.
"It was a little frustrating, but I knew my time would come eventually," Sborz said. "I just tried to give my team the best chance."
For most of Game 3 against Maryland, those relief efforts in the last month seemed like a distant memory. His earned run average dropped from 3.38 to start Monday night to 3.04 by the end of the evening.
Towns, a junior who wasn't selected last week in the Major League Baseball draft, gave U.Va. a comfortable cushion in the first inning after Maryland starting pitcher Bobby Ruse (7-3) immediately ran into trouble.
Ruse loaded the bases in the first inning after hitting Daniel Pinero with a pitch and surrendering back-to-back singles to Joe McCarthy and Derek Fisher. Fisher's single scored Pinero, and moved McCarthy to second base.
With two outs in the inning, Towns blasted a 1-1 offering from Ruse over leftfielder Tim Lewis' head and off the left field wall. The rocket off Towns' bat was came less than two feet from clearing the wall. His first triple of the season scored both Fisher and McCarthy to push U.Va.'s advantage to 3-0.
"I was just hoping it went over (Lewis') head," Towns said. "That's all I really cared about."
U.Va.'s early scoring bonanza may have helped calm Sborz, who has started 13 of his 15 appearances this season, down on the mound. After entering the game having given up 35 walks in 64 innings this season, Sborz walked two of the first three Maryland batters he faced, but escaped the first inning by inducing a double play off the bat of Jose Cuas.
It was the last time Sborz would struggle all night.
"That double play was huge," O'Connor said. "I think it had so much to do with his confidence that he could attack them. I'll say this about Josh Sborz, he certainly has his wild streaks at times, but he always keeps the game in check."
Sborz got back on track by striking out two batters in both the second and third innings. He had at least one strikeout in five of his last six innings pitched.
"I basically took (the game) as a reliever, just get one inning done and then think about the next," Sborz said. "I really only had two pitches (Monday), but I was keeping the ball down most of the time and I knew I had a good defense behind me, so it was pretty easy just to attack and let them hit the ball."

Give Christine back!!!!
She is so damn adorable and this show seems really cute
Oh my God, look at the gif in the top right corner. LOOK AT IT. Her grumpy little face. Baby has already learned the art of "WTF man?!" perfectly. She's like, "This is NOT what I signed on for." That is beyond amazing.
This kid is adorable. She's a diva. Judging by her hair and nose and eyes (they must be fraternal twins), she's the twin who makes the best Christine faces, it's either happy Christine or grumpy Christine (seriously, she's incredible at the Church scene and in the ending shot of the finale, kid looked honestly upset, I wonder if they left her with a dirty diaper or waited to give her meal later.
Her sister is the bald one in the laid back scenes, sleepy scenes, calm Christine scenes.
These twins played Christine from episode 9 to 13, I don't want them to go. :(
I got attached, and they obviously adore Emily.
God, I have issues.
I need a life.
But really, so not fair taking away our baby to give her another show.
we all have issue we are all attached to these babies
don't take our babies! we can share :(

Leather Swatch Ring 28 28
swatchs great samples, ordered these first so I could get a 'feel' for what I will be ordering in the future. October 14, 2014
leather swatch ring These swatches are excellent - they are a great size so you can really appreciate the color. October 14, 2014
Most helpful The leather swatch ring was incredibly helpful in making the decision on which color counter stools to order for my new home. I can't wait to see them! October 8, 2014
A Must-Have Before Ordering Leather Furniture This is an essential purchase for anyone thinking of buying furniture. I ended up buying chairs in a different color than I originally planned on purchasing, thanks to these samples - and I LOVE the chairs I ended up ordering. I do wish the company would "reimburse" the price of the swatch ring if one ends up purchasing furniture. September 21, 2014
Swatches I was really glad to have ordered this collection of the available colors and textures that are offered in leather. It was very helpful in picking out the colors I needed. My only complaint is that the cost of the swatches and shipping should have been applied towards a purchase if a leather item was subsequently purchased. June 19, 2014
Swatches Loved the swatches. Didn't need but three but had to purchase all. Would be nice to be able to get the ones you needed. Also, I would like to return them all as they are in perfect shape and it seems a waste to keep all. September 12, 2014
Only way to make a color decision Thank you so much for making these swatches available. I had been looking for a darker red leather chair and could never tell FOR SURE whether the colors in magazines/catalogs were what I needed. The swatch helped me decide to order from you. We LOVE our dark red leather chair! August 29, 2014
Great Decorating Aid These swatches were the best way to choose the perfect color leather for my bar stools. I am very pleased with my purchase. August 29, 2014
