After a really easy Metro ride from my hotel I'm finally at Les Blogs 3 at Les Docks on the outskirts of Paris. First up is an introduction by Loic Le Meur, then it's straight into a panel on Web 2.0 – The Dark Side.

Hello Stuart, it was nice to meet you, and though the presentation might have been "terribly corny" (maybe a bad idea to have our first official presentation at LeWeb3 directly… but maybe an even worst idea not to have tried…)
Now that the whole internet scene clearly explained we are not welcome I wonder if it was a good idea afterwall. No pain no gain…
Well, shit happens, we are young and tomorrow we'll be 300% more motivated !
Thought I retain a nice part "interesting product", waho a positive point.
And we would love to have advices on how to give "good ol'school corporate presentation where everyone sleeps".
See you tomorrow
The point of my Twitter on your presentation is that you had a really interesting product, but I only thought that because I'd experienced the problem you were trying to solve. However, a lot of people watching hadn't had the problem so didn't get a chance to see your potential. From speaking to other delegates it appears that several remembered your presentation, for its 'corny' jokes, but not your business proposition which is what you wanted them to remember.
Thanks again Stuart.
Please understand that my comment wasn't at all an attack or whatever in this spirit !
We really are working to improve on the presentation area, as I said before, the first time is always… well, the first time !
The so-so positive point is that without the corny jokes people wouldn't have remembered us at all
We'll be great next time, I promise, better jokes (we're not at all in becoming boring guys) and of course a real clear explanation with a real clear demo.
Thank you for your feedback, negative or positive it's always needed to get on the right way.
So can you tell me in which cases you had that problem before ? It sounds really interesting to me.

Hey Tmntrans!
We have a Disney Chase card and LOVE it! For every $100 you spend (and pay off) you get one Disney reward point. You can manage your rewards on their website. When you redeem the points they will send you a card that will act like a credit card and you can spend them at participating Disney stores/parks. I am assuming that you could use the card when you purchase your annual pass. We just redeemed 210 points and will use them on our trip this week. It is pretty easy to rack up the points, especially if you put your Disney trip on the card. And I agree...with the gas prices the way they are right now, you can rack up points pretty quickly that way too! Hope this helps!

I posted this in galley by mistake. I have a pitcher plant [Nepenthes ?] in a hanging basket. One stem is getting so long it's flopping over. If I pruned it would the plant do ok? |

Hello james ny, You can prune Nepenthes. Doing so will make them form new vines from the roots and you can cut 1 foot sections of the pruned vine to try cuttings for new plants. You might want to get some rooting hormone and notch the ends of the cuttings, dipping them in the hormone and then using a vase of water or damp Nepenthes media to root it for a few months. It takes them a long time to root. If you use the vase, wrap some long fiber sphagnum around the cut end with rubber bands or cheesecloth to hold the hormone on and replace the distilled water in the vase weekly or so until you see new growth from the top of the vine and new roots begining to grow on the notched end. Make sure the vine cuttings each have several good mature leaves for photosynthesis. |
Thanks, Mutant. I already have 2 picture plants so I don't have room for any more. There starting to look a little ratty so the'll go outside for the summer [more bugs to feed on]. |

HOLD ON! After pruning and before discarding...there are lots around here that would probably loooove to have a cutting to plant (hint hint!) Do you know what kind of Nepenthes it is? |
I'll take a cutting. |
- Posted by ilbasso_74 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 18, 07 at 18:36
Yes, me too! I hate to see a nepenthes branch die in vain. |

Facebook study: More fallout as journal editors voice concern over data collection
The fall-out continues from Facebook's controversial study of "emotional contagion" online, with more criticism being raised on Thursday.
First, a leading privacy watchdog group, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, arguing that Facebook failed to tell users that their data would be shared with third-party researchers, or that they would be subject to such studies. EPIC is also alleging that the study, in which researchers altered some users' news feeds to test their emotional reactions, amounts to a violation of a 2012 consent order with the FTC, which settled earlier charges of privacy abuses by the social network.
There's been no word from the FTC as to whether it will investigate the complaint, although European privacy regulators say they're looking into similar concerns. In the days since the controversy erupted, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg has apologized for "poor communication" about the study, but that didn't seem to appease its critics.
And now the scientific journal that published the study has formally voiced its concern over the manner in which Facebook collected data from users who participated in the study.
As a private company, Facebook wasn't obliged to follow the so-called "Common Rule" of ethical safeguards that government and academic researchers must follow, the editors of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences said in a statement posted on the journal's website.
But they added:
"It is nevertheless a matter of concern that the collection of data by Facebook may have involved practices that were not fully consistent with the principles of obtaining informed consent and allowing participants to opt out."
Stay tuned …

Does anyone remember the 97.4 Rock FM - 1993 JAM jingles, such as:
Top of the Hour, Breakthrough 1993 "Rocking the North West, Red Rose Rock FM"
Does anyone know if they are available ?
There were two versions of that cut. The original Breakthrough cut from 1990 was sung as "Rock FM". The second was a Steve England remix with JAM vocals as "Red Rose Rock FM".

American Idol, arguably the most successful talent show to ever hit television, has launched the careers of some of the most successful recording artists of the decade. Here's a recap of the American Idol winners from the first 10 seasons.
First American Idol Winner: Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol winner, with Justin Guarini taking second place. Clarkson went on to become an international star and one of American Idol's most successful contestants. After the season finale, Clarkson signed with RCA Records and released her debut single entitled "A Moment Like This", which was a huge success. Clarkson has continued to enjoy a successful career which has included multiple-platinum albums, numerous top 10 singles and two Grammy Awards, and remains one of the most successful American Idol winners.
Second American Idol Winner: Ruben Studdard
The second season marked the first win by a male contestant, Ruben Studdard, with Clay Aiken taking second place. Studdard's coronation single "Flying Without Wings" demonstrated his smooth and soulful vocals and reached number 2 in the U.S. Hot 100. This was perhaps one of the most hotly contested seasons, with Aiken coming in a very close second, and many considered this a season with two American Idol winners. Aiken went on to surpass Studdard's success with his first single "This is the Night," taking the spot above Studdard's single on the charts.
Third American Idol Winner: Fantasia Barrino
Fantasia, third on the list of American Idol winners, captured the hearts of the nation in season 3, with Diana DeGarmo taking second place, and notably, Jennifer Hudson in third place, who went on to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2006. Fantasia was signed with RCA and released her first single "I Believe" in June 2004. It went straight to the number 1 place on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Fantasia the distinction of being first artist to debut in first place on the Billboard Hot 100 with their first single.
Fourth American Idol Winner: Carrie Underwood
The fourth season of American Idol was the launching pad for Carrie Underwood, the most successful American Idol contestant ever, who has gone on to win five Grammy awards. In second place was rocker and crowd pleaser Bo Bice. Despite Carrie Underwood's incredible success, her first single "Inside Your Heaven" did not match the remarkable success of her later hits "Jesus Take the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats". Her debut single was not perfectly aligned with her "country" style, and consequently was not as popular with her target audience, yet she has seen the most success of all American Idol winners.
Fifth American Idol Winner: Taylor Hicks
Taylor Hicks took the first prize in American Idol's fifth season, with Katharine McPhee coming in second. Hicks' coronation single "Do I Make You Proud" sold 190,000 hard copies and 38,000 digital downloads in its first week of release, giving it a number one spot on the Hot 100. "Do I Make You Proud" stayed on the number one spot for one week, and eventually dropped off the charts after eight weeks. Despite its success, it has been criticized for lacking the soulfulness that is characteristic of Hicks' best performances.
Sixth American Idol Winner: Jordin Sparks
The sixth season of American Idol made way for the youngest of all American Idol winners, Jordin Sparks, who won at age 17, while Blake Lewis took second spot. Sparks' debut single "This Is My Now" did not make the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, however, Sparks saw great success following the release of her self-titled debut album in 2007, which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide, and gone platinum in the U.S.
Seventh American Idol Winner: David Cook
The seventh American Idol season gave us the "Battle of the Davids", and to some, a surprising victory from David Cook over runner up David Archuleta. Cook's coronation single, entitled "Time Of My Life" hit the Billboard Hot 100 in third place and sold 236,000 copies in its first week. The song enjoyed some great longevity with 19 weeks on the Hot 100. Subsequent to his American Idol victory, Cook released his self titled album in November of 2008 which has since gone platinum.
Eighth American Idol Winner: Kris Allen
The eighth season saw the list of American Idol winners grow to include the more subdued Kris Allen, with flamboyant Adam Lambert taking second place. Allen's first single "No Boundaries" had mixed reviews, and performed modestly on the charts, reaching the number 11 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and selling 134,000 digital copies. Lambert also released his version of the song which only reached number 72 on the charts with sales of 36,000 digital copies.
Ninth American Idol Winner: Lee DeWyze
First prize went to rocker Lee DeWyze in American Idol's ninth season, with Crystal Bowersox taking second place. After claiming first place as American Idol winner, DeWyze released the single "Beautiful Day", a U2 song, in digital format which reached number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. DeWyze's first post-Idol album "Live It Up" was released in November 2010 through 19 Entertainment and RCA Records.
Tenth American Idol Winner: Scotty McCreery
In the tenth season of American Idol, Scotty McCreery was a consistent favorite with his natural country voice and beat out runner up Lauren Alaina to take the crown. Possibly one of the most well loved of all the American Idol winners, McCreery was the unassuming all American contestant that took the show by surprise. The tenth season was a departure from previous seasons with an almost complete overhaul of the judging panel. With the departure of Simon Cowell, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler brought a new and softer style to the show alongside veteran Randy Jackson.

The Burlington County Times' May 5 article recognizing the efforts of the 2014 Police Unity Tour, with hundreds of police officers from around the country paying tribute on behalf of their fallen colleagues, was certainly warranted. And the officers are correct in the statement that it is a debt that can never be repaid.
However, in this effort, the respect and regard for those not directly involved in the tour must be acknowledged, and the proper approvals must be secured from the responsible authority by the organization to utilize public property.

Steve Whitacre's area of artist interest encompasses large sculptural works that explore the estuary between art and architecture and the aesthetics of architectural space in relationship to sculpture and personal, poetic language.
Whitacre's works are held in many private collections and have been widely exhibited in this country, England, Scotland and Italy.
In Europe, Whitacre served on the faculty of Hull Polytechnic in England as artist-in-residence within the School of Fine Arts and Architecture, and at Brighton University in England, while concurrently researching trends in art and architecture in England and France in 1988. Whitacre continues to travel extensively in relationship to his discipline and as a matter of ongoing research concerning education in the visual arts. He is often invited as a guest lecturer or critic to various institutions. Recent engagements include the California College of Arts and Crafts, School of Art Institute of Chicago, the Architectural Association of London, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Kansas and Cranbrook Academy of Art. In addition, he has served as a juror and panelist for the American Institute of Architecture and the Municipal Art Commission of Kansas City.
Whitacre directs a private design practice, SBW Associates, based in Kansas City. This practice is project-oriented, centering on a collaborative approach to design in order to serve a broad client base and to address a wide range of team-oriented conceptual and physical design issues. Within the period of the last year, this approach has been expressed in projects with private developers, public institutions and individual clients. The nature of these projects has encompassed urban design and planning, gallery exhibition design, event design, furniture design, and architectural interiors.
Whitacre's efforts have been supported by grants from the Alliance of Independent Colleges of Art, Kansas City Regional Council for Higher Education, the 3M Corporation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Arts Council of Great Britain and the National Endowment for the Arts. He has been on the faculties of Ohio University and the University of Kansas School of Architecture.
Whitacre has been a member of the KCAI faculty since 1969. He studied at the Columbus College of Art and Design and earned B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees from Ohio University.

A member of the KCAI faculty since 1993, Russell Ferguson is associate professor in the School of the Foundation Year. His areas of interest include sculpture, drawing and printmaking, with specific application of narrative drawing to the fields of painting, printmaking, scenography and illustration.
Ferguson describes himself as "a bricoleur:" He endeavors to make the materials he works with take on the shapes, configurations and forms as well as multiple meanings and double purposes, e.g., functional, structural and formal, metaphorical.
He has had solo and group exhibits in Germany, Australia and Cuba and in the Western, Mid-Western and New England regions of the United States. His works are held in private collections regionally and internationally.
Ferguson has recently exhibited (to critical approval) three-dimensional wood constructions derived from, and in relation to, his landscape drawings. He has worked on set design for the Kansas City Ballet and the Coterie Theatre in Kansas City , as well as a site-related installation at Dolphin Gallery in Kansas City. In addition to academic awards and fellowships, he has received travel grants and a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

His eight-year apprenticeship with Paolo Soleri at Arcosanti was supplemented by a variety of projects, ranging from work with a Zen priest on the Navajo reservation to fellowships and bursaries at the Culhern Garden School and Findhorn Foundation in Scotland. Ferguson is a maker/fabricator working within the industrial milieu of the West.
Ferguson holds an M.F.A .degree from Yale University and a B.F.A. degree from the Kansas City Art Institute.

Misty Gamble's work is inspired by the human figure and its infinite capacity for communication. This makes sense given that, as a child, Misty was immersed in her father's world of puppetry and the performing arts. Traveling to many parts of the world as a young girl and later as an adult has made an indelible impact on her life and work. In 1998, she was invited to be the first American to perform in Iran (since 1979) at the 7th International Puppet Festival in Tehran.
Gamble's current work — life-size ceramic figurative sculptures and installations of multiple figurative fragments — focuses attention on issues surrounding femininity and challenges conventional standards of morality, normalcy and propriety. She is the recipient of numerous honors including awards from the Martin Wong Foundation, National Conference for the Education of Ceramic Arts and the Ellice T. Johnston Foundation. In 2008, she received an artist grant from the Ruth Chenven Foundation and was honored as a Ceramics Monthly Emerging Artist. She has been awarded long-term residencies at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Newcastle, Maine, where she earned the Howard Kottler Fellowship, and the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, Fla. Recently, Gamble was invited to lead an Artist-Invite Artist Residency at Watershed and was an invited artist at Project Art in Cummington, Mass.
Gamble is a full-time faculty member in the School of the Foundation Year at the Kansas City Art Institute. Before receiving her M.F.A. degree from San Francisco State University in the visual arts, she worked for two decades as an agent, publicist and event coordinator in music and the performing arts.

After having waited patiently since acquiring my first banana plant in January of 2005, I'm finally seeing my first flag leaf and bloom! This is a plantain we got from a local nursery--don't know what it's called. It survived the cold alright. After that, I noticed that the leaves weren't as big and long as they used to be. Is this a sign that the bloom is coming? How long is it going to be before the first mature fruit? My daughter thought the banana tree was going to be gone soon after it bloomed, but I told her not as yet. It was an exciting day for all of us seeing for the first time a flag leaf and the bloom!
I also included here two pictures of the pup. I don't know what's going on here. The new leaf looks diseased and the other leaves look odd and are shorter than those of the other pups that were separated and transplanted elsewhere. I heard there are two kinds of pups--the sword sucker and the water sucker (which doesn't produce good fruit). I'm wondering if this is a water sucker. I was going to let it take over when the mother plant dies after fruiting. Wondering if I should keep it or grow something else here. If anyone has some answers for me, would appreciate much. Meanwhile, I can't wait to see how the bloom on the mommy plant will develop (will pose pictures later as it develops). |

Congrats on the flag. Red |
I was really excited to see the little bananas emerging for the first time. I have seen some of the pictures posted here of some of your bloom and don't remember seeing this shape of bananas. Like I said before, I didn't know the name of this plantain, but from the way the bananas look, they remind me of some African rhino horn pictures I've seen on the internet. Could it be this variety? Does anyone here have a rhinohorn and can confirm it? Or maybe it's something else that you know of? |
pitangadeigo, I really hope it's just the witner stress. I've been waiting patiently for it to come around and do better. The weather here is consistently hot and humid with plenty of rain these days. My other bananas are happy. It's sad it see a few not doing well. My Pisang Ceylong, Goldfinger and Sumatrana Cross X have literally stalled. The worst is Sumatrana. I will post about it on another thread later. cactus6103, thanks for your well wishes. Do you also grow bananas? I've only started doing this a little less than 3 years ago. P.S. I thought I had posted this message, but maybe I lost it. This is my second attempt. |

Puff, the Magic Dragon
"Puff, the Magic Dragon" is one of the most beloved songs ever written—a classic that's as much a part of the childhood experience as Mother Goose. When Sterling released it as a picture book in 2007, it became an instant hit with critics, children, parents and booksellers.
Now, this gorgeous multimedia set is available in paperback, in a clamshell package that's perfect for hanging in the audio section. It's as magical as ever, with Eric Puybaret's stunning illustrations and the exclusive CD featuring "Puff" and other songs performed by Peter Yarrow, his daughter Bethany, and cellist Rufus Cappadocia.
In 1959, Peter Yarrow and Lenny Lipton co-created the timeless and beloved song Puff, the Magic Dragon. Peter Yarrow's career has spanned more than four decades. As a member of the renowned trio, Peter, Paul, & Mary, he has earned many gold and platinum awards and numerous Grammys, as well as an Emmy nomination for his animated TV specials based on Puff, the Magic Dragon. Among the many honors bestowed upon him, Yarrow is most proud of the Allard K. Lowenstein Award, which he received in 1982 for advancing the causes of human rights, peace, and freedom. Today, he frequently uses his musical and other artistic gifts to convey a message of humanity and caring. In an effort to combat school violence, Yarrow started Operation Respect in 2000, a program that teaches tolerance and respect to children in schools and camps. Lenny Lipton is the inventor of the modern 3D projection system used in cinemas worldwide. He is the author of four books on motion picture technology and received an award from the Smithsonian for his invention.
Eric Puybaret was born in France, and graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Puff, the Magic Dragon was his first American book. He has since illustrated The Nutcracker, retold by John Cech, for Sterling, as well as several other picture books for other publishers.
"Puff has appeared to me both childlike and wise, a king but also a willing follower of just about any bright spirit that inspired him. Puff gives his whole heart and soul to one special friend…One day, as you can see at the end of this book, a new and special friend comes to Honalee…In this way Puff and Jackie's friendship continues through new children like you."
--Peter Yarrow
"…beautifully illustrated…smartly designed…More than 40 years after 'Puff'…was released, this volume…brings the land of Honalee to new life."—The New York Times
"'Puff is pure magic."—USA Today
"The lyrics from the ubiquitous 1960s song finally find a hardcover home…lush, stylized artwork [is] rendered in acrylic on linen …The full spreads feature sweeping panoramas set against the blues and greens of ocean and island with small details revealed throughout."—School Library Journal
"This is the first time the folk classic has been illustrated, and it was worth the wait to hear Yarrow on the enclosed CD while flipping through the lushly imagined land called Honalee."—New York Daily News
"A stunningly beautiful picture book for all ages."—Chicago Sun-Times

The Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources wants consumers to know that radiant barrier products in attics are not a cost-effective way to reduce heating or cooling loads in Minnesota homes. The department recently issued a consumer alert after it received several reports of salespeople pitching radiant barriers in flyers and at free dinners throughout the state.
Radiant barriers consist of a reflective film, usually aluminum, laid over the top of attic insulation in existing homes. They are sold as an energy-saving product, with claims of significant reductions in both heating and cooling costs. However, their potential benefit is primarily in reducing air-conditioning cooling loads in warm or hot climates and in buildings with little or no insulation.
A Radiant Barrier Fact Sheet compiled by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy shows that the benefits of radiant barriers decrease significantly as one travels north. In southern cities like Miami, Fla., or Austin, Texas, radiant barriers could reduce one's utility bill by as much as $150 per year. But by the time you reach colder climate states such as Minnesota, where air-conditioning loads are considerably less, savings drop to only $10 to $40 a year. If there are no ducts or air handlers in the attic, the savings are much less.
"We strongly urge all consumers to be cautious, conduct due diligence, and explore other proven means to make their homes and businesses more energy efficient," said Mike Rothman, Commerce commissioner. "Don't be misled by 'deals' or 'pilot programs' available for a limited time only. Get input and bids from at least three contractors, and make sure those contractors are reputable."
The U.S. Department of Energy and Minnesota Department of Commerce agree that, in Minnesota, implementing air sealing and adding conventional attic insulation would be considerably cheaper and much more effective for saving energy than installing a radiant barrier. Getting a home energy assessment through your gas or electric utility is encouraged as a first step to identifying cost-effective energy improvements.
For more information on insulation and other energy-efficient measures to improve homes, contact the Division of Energy Resources at 800-657-3710 or 651-539-1882 or visit www.energy.mn.gov. The website offers free downloadable home energy guides, including the "Home Envelope" (.pdf) consumer guide that includes information on energy efficiency and choosing a contractor.

It seemed too strange to be true—and, in the end, it was. A story posted to The Huffington Post yesterday announced rather shocking news: "Scalia on Brown v. Board of Education: I Would Have Dissented." On the site's homepage—where the story spent much of the day—the headline was even more provocative:
The story, it turns out, was aggregated from Taegan Goddard's Political Wire—which was aggregated, in turn, from a piece posted to Arizona's East Valley Tribune newspaper Web site Monday evening. The dispatch in question, provided by the Capitol News Service, detailed the appearance made by Scalia and fellow Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer in Tucson on Monday, at a talk (subject: "Principles of Constitutional and Statutory Interpretation") sponsored by the University of Arizona's law school.
Per the story:
Using his "originalist" philosophy, Scalia said he likely would have dissented from the historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that declared school segregation illegal and struck down the system of "separate but equal" public schools. He said that decision, which overturned earlier precedent, was designed to provide an approach the majority liked better.
"I will stipulate that it will," Scalia said. But he said that doesn't make it right. "Kings can do some stuff, some good stuff, that a democratic society could never do," he continued.
"Hitler developed a wonderful automobile," Scalia said. "What does that prove?"
But, hmm. Constitutional originalism is one thing; using that approach to defend, even theoretically, the myriad injustices of 'separate but equal' is quite another. And even in a media landscape populated by Balloon Boys and Real-Life Pirates and Porcine Viruses and Sarah Palin…some things are still, yes, simply too bizarre to be true. And 'Sitting Supreme Court Justice Offhandedly Advocating Segregation' is, indeed, one of those things.
What Scalia actually said—albeit in a roundabout way—was that "I would've been with" "Justice Harlan" in a text-based interpretation of the equal protection clause. That would be John Marshall Harlan, who dissented in the case not of Brown, but of…Plessy v. Ferguson.
Yes. The Tribune story, essentially and unfortunately—by way of whitewashing the subtler point Scalia was making about the tense relationship between an originalist approach to the Constitution (which requires the deciphering, the Justice noted, of what such "generalized provisions" as equal protection meant at the time of the Constitution's writing) and a so-called "evolutionary" approach—confused two landmark Court cases: Brown, whose decision is the subject today of near universal acclaim…and Plessy, that of segregational infamy, whose decision is—and properly so—the subject today of near universal disgust. Of course Scalia would dissent from Plessy. One assumes that all the current Justices, regardless of their particular jurisprudencial proclivities, would do the same.
Which means, then: nothing to see here, folks. Scalia was not, in fact, advocating segregation yesterday. No incendiary affronts to common decency were afoot. (Unless, that is, one counts sloppy reporting.)
What's notable about the Scalia narrative, though, is not merely the egregiousness of the words put in the mouth of the Justice. More interesting is the context in which the error grew—and the manner in which the erroneous story went viral. The story was picked up not only by the HuffPo and Political Wire, but also by TPM and New York magazine and the law blog Balkinization. It went from zero to zeitgeist in less than a day.
While that is unsurprising, it is also…worrisome. The Tribune story, after all, was riddled with red flags on the accuracy front. Not only was there the bizarre and inflammatory nature of Scalia's supposed comment itself; there was also the choppy and occasionally verging-on-incoherent wording of the report—suggestive, in general, of some kind of context lost. But as the erroneous story made its way from Tucson to the explosive ether of the World Wide Web, those paving its path either missed those flags, or actively ignored them. As Salon's Alex Koppleman notes:
Everyone gets a story wrong sometimes, there's no avoiding that. But in this instance, the bloggers who picked up the article could and should have avoided the situation. Scalia was never directly quoted saying something like, "I think Brown v. Board of Education was wrongly decided. The article, or at least this part of it, relied on paraphrasing. On a big story like this one, the lack of a direct quote demands, even more than usual, some stringent fact-checking. Before posting, it's just good practice to look for a primary source — video, audio or a transcript from the event — not to mention to check against Scalia's previous statements and even call the court for comment. It may mean you have to wait a few minutes, even a few hours, before posting what others already have, but it's better to be right than to be fast.

Do you think that you would do a better job than your son or daughter if "you" (mom) chose their spouse? How about if their dad chose? How would he do?
And how do you think your mom or dad would have done for you if they had chosen "your" spouse? It would be great to hear from people who have had arranged marriages, and to hear how they are doing. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Technically, ours wasn't an arranged marriage, but let me tell you our story. My dad had a friend who he'd known from about age 10. Best buddies. They grew up, were still friends. Got married. Both couples were pregnant with their first-born, due within a few days of each other. My dad named me so that if I married his friend's son, my married name would be the same as that of his favorite movie star. After we were born, when we were about 4/5 weeks old (I really don't recall--LOL), they introduced us. We grew up, but weren't pushed together. As a matter of fact, we knew about each other, but saw each other only occasionally (we lived in adjoining towns, so weren't thrown together in school, or anything). When we were 17, we happened to meet after not seeing each other for many years. We both had an instant crush on the other (had we bonded as infants?)--but were too young, too shy to do anything about it. Didn't see each other for about 5 more years, when our paths crossed once more. At that point, we both decided independently, that we were going to do whatever it took to get to know the other better. We started dating within the week, were going steady after 3 weeks, got engaged a year later, and married 6 months after that. We're STILL together, still madly in love, after 34 years of marriage. We often joke to friends that we had an 'arranged marriage'. We didn't--no one ever pushed us to date or marry--but if they HAD.... Anyway, looks like Dad did a pretty good job picking out my husband, before we were ever born. I can't complain. Not something I'd ever do for (to?) my dd, though. I think everyone should have the opportunity to meet and fall in love on their own. I just hoped that she'd not jump into an early marriage, since at 18, 19, 20, one still has SO much growing up to do. Of course, that wasn't too likely as she's always told us that we were WAY too young to marry (we were 23). She's now in her mid-20's and picky enough to still be looking for her perfect mate. Hope their paths will cross soon, for her. |
No.I dont believe in arranged marriages. It is hard enough to do good in a marriage where you already know the person and have a chemical/physical attraction. Throwing two people together and hoping for the best is not my style. I respect cultures who do it,but it is not something I wish for my own child. |
What a great story, azzalea. |
I love your story too, azzalea. Hope you have many more happy years together. |

Mine is an arrange marraige. And from wht i have seen married life is not easy anyways . The only consolation one has in an arrange marriage is that they can belame their parents to wht ever they r going through but in love marriage i guess they belame themselves. Well when both know and accept that there wil be differnces in opinions and likes and dislikes all wil be fine. But i wud like to point one thing ...when going for arrange marriage make ur expectations clear. and convey to the person concerned as wht do u want from the other person. Let them contemplate if they fit in to expectations . and then let them decide. |
Arranged marriages are not unusual in the culture where I am from. And even in the Bible, for a great example, some of people were arranged to marry (Abraham asked his servant to find a wife for his son, Isaac…written in the book of Genesis.) Most of wise parents know what a son/a daughter needs to have in their life. I know some people from my culture who arranged marriage and live happily. If you have a strong connection such as the same faith, I believe the marriage will last forever even if it was arranged. GOOD LUCK !!!! |

When I read this post I felt the need to reply.This is a second marriage for both of us.The first time around we both had weddings with our ex's. The second time around my DH had an arranged wedding.I contaced the JP and inquired about a marriage license.When he came home from work.I proposed to him and he said yes.That has been almost 23 years ago.If I had waited on him to ask me we would still be living together. That is how my DH had an arranged wedding.Little did he know that while he was at work that day.I was planning our arranged wedding. I know this is not the "arranged" wedding that the OP is talking about, but this is our arranged wedding. |
Whatever works! And I gotta say, I like your style! |
The idea of my parents picking out my husband? Unthinkable! The idea of me picking out mates for my children? Brilliant! |
I have known quite a few people with arranged marriages. One was a girl that I worked with. When she was 16 she went with family to another country for a family members wedding. While she was there a man met her and was interested and her family arranged the marriage less than 2 weeks later. She told me of her horrified experience of consumating their vows on their wedding night, since this man was a complete stranger who was almost 30. After marrying him, her mother sent her to bed with this man and gave her a pin, told her if she did not bleed as she was supposed to then she needed to prick herself somewhere (maybe a finger?) and put blood on the sheets! The girl did tell me that she was "lucky" because her marriage was a good one, because this man does treat her well. Her cousin had an arranged marriage and gets beaten, but the family does not believe in divorce. I also know an older couple with grown kids that are friends of my family. They had a marriage arranged by their parents. He has always been unfaithful to her, bringing random women over to my parents house and out with my family when I was growing up. Always made me feel bad for his kids and wife! As we got older his kids would tell me how mean their father was to their mother and even they knew about affairs! So, I guess that my experience with arranged marriages is that 1 out of 3 that I know of are good. (guess that is almost right there with regular marriage statistics!) |
One of my co-workers has an arranged marriage and she seems quite happy. She is from India, and at our summer picnic told my friend and I about it. We were shocked! I guess it is normal in her culture, I just didn't really think about it much. She told us that they do it by horoscope and caste. (Cue me and my unmarried friend: HUH????) She was apparently very sheltered growing up and although she is very book smart, she has no common sense. She grew up with a maid and a cook. Her mother stayed with her for 6 months after she had a baby to do everything. When her mother left, she basically freaked out. At work sometimes she needs me to find the creamers for her coffee for her (which is just weird). Then she proceeds about her day as a software engineer. Once a group of us were talking about marriage and she said, "you have to realize that there are going to be problems and tough times. There will also be good times and happy times. This is marriage, this is what you signed on for." This from a woman who needs help with her coffee. |

honey2be...I agree! |

Ditto, HoneyB2. I think marriage is a pig in a poke no matter how you do it. First of all, people usually get married when they are young and then they keep evolving and changing and pretty soon the person you meet at the breakfast table is not the one you knew at the altar, and neither are you. You may as well use astrology or numerology or your shoe size divided by his IQ or whatever. Sure, you can do this or that to make it work, a ton of people have made their fortunes trying to sell marriage adjustments: Dr. Phil and Dr.Laura and Dr.Whomever. But when it all comes down, you're either lucky or you aren't. |

Lucky? I think not. That leaves all us generally unlucky people without hope- it just isn't so. Little story. A boy sits in an airplane terminal, watching people come and go. He sees a man reunite with his family- several children and a wife- they hug and kiss and chatter - the boy stares, watching the scene - the man looks over at the boy and smiles. Embarassed for staring, the boy says, "excuse me. Looks like you're very happy - I hope I'm so lucky one day." The man stops smiling and looks at the boy very seriously and says, "son, my happiness is not luck. It is a choice." I believe in creating your own reality - if your spouse is willing (and it may require your change first for him or her to be willing), you can make your marriage better than you could have ever imagined. Mine was once grounds for many a divorce - now it is the sweetest, deepest most precious thing - after years of tears, pain and willingness to become someone new. I believe any marriage can be happy, arranged, or otherwise. It just requires you to want to be happy, and to want it badly enough to do something about it. Granted some people are "unlucky" enough to get the angry wife beater type, but that's not what I'm talking about - that statistic is relatively small compared to the number of people who are just stuck and generally unhappy. |
Yep, I have to agree with Amy, here. The secret to a successful life, including marriage, is knowing how to make yourself happy. If you are happy you can weather any storm and come out shining. Since I have headed down the "happy road", things are rosey. |

And what if the shoe just doesn't fit? Or you choose the Happy Face and the other person doesn't? It's not that simple. |
- Posted by amyfiddler (My Page) on Tue, Sep 18, 07 at 18:48
No, to say 'put on a happy face and all will be well' is misleading. No one in their right mind would agree to such a philosophy - However, it must be aknowleged that often times, people don't recognize the power they have in themselves /the relatnshp to make changes. In an arranged marriage, there is the assumption that marriage is an agreement, rather than a romantic bond. Philosophically, that agreement requires a lot of work - and where in the western world we believe that there must be feelings of affection to make the marriage work, the arranged marriage would suggest that, even though there are not necessarily fuzzy feelings of affection, a union and commitment and family solidarity can still exist. Sometimes, such commitment leads to those feelings of affection. We could use some of that philosophy here, where it seems that when the feelings are dead or even waning, perhaps it's not 'meant to be' and there might be greener pastures elsewhere - it's difficult to find reasons to trudge through life's pain, and the hardships of a long term marriage, when divorce is commonplace for reasons of "I just didn't love him any more" or "I found love elsewhere". No simple answers, but we cannot ignore the fact that divorce in the US is commonplace, and it might have something to do with our emphasis on "me" and on "feelings" rather than on "us" and "work" and "what can I do differently"- Note, i'm not talking about the beaten woman who thinks that making a better meal will stop the beatings, so let's not go there! LOL |
I am a living proof of an arranged marriaged. When my mother told me that she picked out a guy for me, I was saying no no no.....but she gave me details about him, and I agreed to meet. The guy didn't talk very much and I didn't like him at first. Well, he was nice and kept asking me out and after 1 year of dating, we set a date. That was over 20 years ago and I never regret... I am very happy with him. He is very gentle and a hard working man. Doesn't smoke or drinking, he helps me with so many things around the house and gave me the whole paycheck every 2 weeks. Shortgirl |
"he helps me with so many things around the house and gave me the whole paycheck every 2 weeks" Yep...sounds like incurable love to me!! |

Reader UI of the Week: Laar goes with a tri-spec setup {WoW}
Mar 27th 2012 5:47PM The point of this column is to share ideas on constructing your own UI and to recieve constructive feedback to improve your UI. Nowhere in any of that is anything that resembles, "GIVE ME YOUR WORK PLZTHX." With the exception of a few fantastic UI artists such as Vhei, very few UI's include any elements that can't be duplicated with minimal effort. Add-ons for the most part have been designed to be very streamlined and user-accessible. Not to be snarky, but if you can't figure out how an add-on works and how to use the majority of its functions and tools, it's probably because you haven't spent the 10-20 minutes needed to figure it out.

Spiritual Guidance: How to increase your HPS as a discipline priest {WoW}
Feb 7th 2012 12:12AM I don't understand the negativity several commentors have taken towards "sniping". Sniping heals does not mean irresponsibly wasting mana. It means you are maximizing the use of your entire tooklit and - remember this phrase? - proactively healing. There can only be so much damage going out in a given encounter assuming it is being done properly and it all needs to be healed by somebody. From that point of view, it would seem ludicrous NOT to "snipe", as not doing so is simply wasted potential on your part.
Healing theorycrafting 101: Healers should be ending fights as close to oom as possible.
Let's use heroic 25 morchok as an example. If I, as a disc priest, am an assigned tank healer ONLY cast to keep my tank up, I will never drop below 80% mana. I will show decently on the meters, but my other healers will have to work that much harder and there is that much more room for error. Alternately, I can freely cast PoH when I have the tank topped off and bubble spam when I'm running to crystals. Now I might actually need to pop a shadowfiend, every other healer needs to work that much less, and when we look at meters later I will drown in the guilt-ridden sea that is my conscience because I put in a little effort.

Rogues Falsely Claim Copyright on YouTube Videos to Hijack Ad Dollars
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
The idea was to solve the problem of large copyright holders constantly complaining about copyright violations. The compromise lets people submit homemade videos set to one of their favorite musicians' songs or a snippet from a movie and allow the original creator to benefit from the exposure and ad dollars if they so choose.
But if Content ID overmatches or a rogue manages to feed the filter content it doesn't own, a YouTube user could see her video hijacked through a false copyright claim.
That's what Metford, Pye and countless others say has happened to them. Out of nowhere, different ads started appearing on their videos, and the revenue wasn't going into their accounts.
Content ID largely works on auto-pilot.
When Content ID finds a match between videos, the uploaders receive an e-mail from YouTube informing them only of the name of the company claiming a copyright breach. Unless the uploader files a counter-notice disputing the copyright violation charge, the claimer gets control of the video. The scammers seem to be hoping that a copyright claim from an official-sounding company sounds scary enough that users won't protest.
In most every case, when a victim files a counter-notice, Netcom and others abandon their claims, and the original video maker wins back complete control of their work.
Netcom's website http://netcompartner.com (cache) alternately placed its base of operations in Malaysia and Switzerland, though it is registered in Cyprus.
The site has been emptied of content and taken down. Netcom did not respond to a request for comment. A now-vanished older cache of the site showed the company signed up YouTube users, promising to create a network that would boost all of their page views. Though the website identified the company as Netcom Partners, the infringement notices to YouTube users simply use the generic name Netcom.
Google only allows large media companies and video networks to join the Content ID program, which has about 2,000 registered participants. Netcom has been claiming copyright to material it does not own.
Google says its filters have six million reference files. Following its 2007 deployment, it has matched against 120 million videos.
"Our Content ID system works by checking user-uploaded videos against reference files provided by rights owners prior to publication on YouTube," spokeswoman Annie Baxter said in a statement. "If the system finds a match, the rights holder determines the policy applied to that video — either block, track, or make money from the video using ads. Partners found to be abusing or attempting to abuse Content ID will be subject to disciplinary action, including the possibility of account termination."
YouTube forums are littered with complaints by disgruntled YouTube account holders.
Google declined further comment. The search giant said company policy prohibited it from saying whether YouTube was even aware of the situation, and whether it has ever taken action against any company for abusing Content ID policy.
For Google, inaction has little consequence. The ad giant gets its cut of ad revenues from YouTube videos before the content producers do. From a bottom-line perspective, it doesn't matter who gets the other — the maker of the cat video or some fly-by-night hijacker.
Sometimes, however, there are honest mistakes because of the way the filters work on auto-pilot.
TorrentFreak, for example, points out the situation of Dutch game-review site Gamer.nl, which says Google's filters have falsely assigned it ownership to as many as 10,000 user-generated videos.
"It appears that the Content-ID filter is automatically assigning these videos to Gamer.nl, because the clips produced by the review site also include snippets of trailers and in-game play. In other words, the Content-ID filter is set so broad that official game trailers are assigned to Gamer.nl because Gamer.nl uses footage from the trailers in its reviews," TorrentFreak wrote.
Under U.S. copyright law, Google is not required to deploy copyright filters. But rights holders are embracing it as a way to make money online. Even Viacom, which is suing YouTube for $1 billion for copyright violations, uses Content ID and its lawsuit only covers alleged copyright violations before the filter's deployment.
But regular YouTube users — the ones who make what's often called user-generated content — aren't quite so happy with the system.
Patrick McKay, a Regent University School of Law student in Virginia, said he has been victimized by the filters. He even started his own website about it called FairUseTube.org to inform YouTube users how to fight the claims.
"More and more," he said in a telephone interview, "I'm seeing issues with people making original content, and it gets claimed by some random obscure company, using Content ID, and saying they own the copyright."

I just received my Gardening Center Association newsletter. Don Hollingsworth is scheduled to speak at the Discovery center, 4750 Troost, Kansas City, MO on Saturday, February 3, 2007, at 9:30 am. His topic will be "Peonies for the Heartland". Most of the GCA talks are accompanied by lots of pictures. If you come early there are goodies to eat along with coffee and other things.
I just hope the weather is good that weekend and he has his new 2007 lists available. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Being quite a newbie to peonies, I was going to ask who Don was, when I decided to Google him instead. My search yielded this wonderful article written by him. Sue....wanting to learn more about peonies |
Here is a link that might be useful: Breeding Modern Peonies: Suggestions for Success
I would love to go to a talk on peonies, but as far as I know we don't get to many of them around here. Sue, you can also visit his website from which he sells peonies. I have not purchased anything from him yet, but have heard many good things about his nursery. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hollingsworth Peonies
Amulet, I wish you would not have provided that link. They are Fabulous! Until now I have been 'fairly' content just adding numerous named varieties in the <$10 range, and a lot of them <$5. hmmmm....They are all just so pretty...with the exception of a very few...(see thread I fail to see the beauty in this one) Sue |
