NHL Lockout lessons from 1994-95
Former Jets GM, coach Paddock recalls tumult of 48-game season
Two relocations and one arena ago in Winnipeg history may still contain a lesson or two for those about to embark on a lockout-shortened NHL season.
John Paddock, the GM and coach of the Winnipeg Jets of 1994-95, this week recalled a few items about that 48-game season that began Jan. 20, 1995 and followed a half-season lost to a labour dispute.
The most significant: "It was both the coach's and manager's decision, and I made the wrong one for what seemed like the right reasons, to go with the veteran," Paddock said, describing the goaltending issue of the time. "We were probably not that good anyway, but I went with the older, veteran goaltender way too long."
That would have been Tim Cheveldae, who had four seasons under his belt, instead of Nikolai Khabibulin, a ninth round 1992 entry draft pick who at the time didn't have a single NHL game played.
"Khabby had been playing in Springfield the whole time," Paddock said of that season. "The plan was for Chevy to be our goalie. We wanted Nik to keep playing (in Springfield).
"We had a mini camp and had three goalies here and Khabby was obviously so much better than Mike (O'Neill), we just couldn't send him back, even though we'd wanted him to keep playing.
"We thought then we'd try to play him once every four or five games. But Chevy didn't play well enough to give us a chance to win."
At least not early, when the Jets went 1-5-1 out of the gate, and Paddock admitted he didn't switch soon enough.
"I remember starting Nik in (Calgary) after a few games and he won," he said. "I should have switched sooner. We still had it stuck in our minds we had to go with experience, that kind of thing.
"We didn't get him playing, give him the (No. 1) job until it was too late. It was just the gut reaction, to go with what's considered the best rather than be criticized for playing the rookie in a pressure, short-sprint situation. But it's what should have happened that time."
The Jets never recovered from their lousy start. They never got close to returning to .500, finished nine games under that mark and sixth in the Central Division, far out of the playoffs in their second-to-last year in the city.
The schedule in 1995 was slightly less crammed -- there was one more week than 2013's NHLers are going to have for their 48-game season -- but busy to the point where there were effects.
"I remember the little nagging injuries," Paddock said. "When the intensity picks up, unless you're playing regularly -- you can be skating all you want -- but when that different level comes and comes again in regular games for real, it's just natural that those muscle pains and aches are going to happen.
"Not everyone will get them but you can't stop it."
Paddock, now the assistant GM of the Philadelphia Flyers, said practice time is always going to be an issue, especially for coaches.
In 2013, there doesn't figure to be very much, which, he said, could lead many teams to potentially do much shorter practices, or even "mini-practices" on days of games.
"I think today, there's a difference because everyone's chartering (their own planes), and that's helpful for the rest and recuperation," Paddock said.
"But this season, I think it will be (an issue). It's going to have to be work, recuperation, rest, and play with not much practice time."
1995 Jets: 48 games, 16-25-7 for 39 points
Standings: 6th and last in Central, 21st out of 26 teams.
Minor highlights: Alexi Zhamnov 3rd in league scoring, 65 points, behind only Jaromir Jagr and Eric Lindros, both at 70; Zhamnov and Keith Tkachuk, 51, points, chosen to NHL second all-star team.

Legality of Selling Terrariums
plantinellen(5)February 10, 2009
I love making terrariums. And because I live on wooded property, I have lots of moss, ferns and related plants handy with which to make them. My question is: If I sell terrariums with my home-grown plants at a yard sale or craft show, am I breaking any laws? I know my property isn't home to any endangered mosses or ferns...I'd be using pretty common plants.
If you aren't familiar with etsy.com I reccomend checking it out to see all the terrariums users sell on there. Most of them are novice-level but it's interesting to see!
Here is a link that might be useful: etsy

Oceania Cruises Host Bon Appetit Wine & Food Festival
When Oceania Cruises initially developed plans for the line's newest ships—Riviera and Marina—they wanted to focus on culinary activities to complement its renowned fleet-wide dining options. Oceania dreamed up the concept for a hands-on cooking school at sea and teamed with Bon Appétit magazine to make it happen. Today, travelers can look forward to their time spent in the Bon Appetit Culinary Centers—each outfitted with 24 fully equipped work stations—aboard both of these ships.
This October, Oceania Cruises takes the emphasis on gastronomy one step further with two special Bon Appétit Wine & Food Festivals. The events combine cooking demonstrations with hands-on lessons, market tours in select ports, wine tastings, and dinners.
The first event takes place aboard Riviera's October 14, 2012 Ancient Grandeur itinerary, which visits Athens, Kusadasi (Ephesus), Monemvasia, Cephalonia (Argostoli), Taormina, Sorrento (Capri), an overnight in Livorno (for Florence, Pisa, and Tuscany), Marseille (Provence), Monte Carlo, and Rome.
Chef Ted Rozzi of Myriad Restaurant Group will host the festival aboard Riviera. As a corporate chef, he's responsible for maintaining excellence at diverse restaurants, like Tribeca Grill, Nobu New York City, Nobu Next Door, Nobu Fifty Seven, Nobu London, the two-Michelin-starred Corton, Centrico, Crush Wine & Spirits, Acela Club at Citi Field, and Daily Burger at Madison Square Garden.
Marina's Temples & Palaces voyage, embarking Athens on October 22, will also feature a Bon Appétit Wine & Food Festival. That cruise will call upon Patmos, an overnight in Ashdod (for Jerusalem), Haifa, Limassol, Rhodes, Kusadasi (Ephesus), and an overnight in Istanbul.
Bostonians will immediately appreciate the choice of festival host on the October 22 voyage. It's James Beard award-winner Chef Ken Oringer of the city's Clio restaurant, one of "America's Best New Restaurants" according to Esquire magazine. (It was new at the time.)
These two festivals for foodies are part of Oceania's Signature Sailings series, which are themed cruises featuring guest speakers and special events. Other Signature Sailings are devoted to music, wine, and fitness.

NEPD Staff Writer: Mike Gerken
As we move closer toward the Super Bowl and hopefully away from "deflategate" I continue my look at this year's crop of Defensive Tackles. It is my belief that the Patriots could be in the market for a young player at the position to be the eventual replacement for Vince Wilfork in a year or so. With the way teams are passing more, it is important to find a player who is strong against the run but can create some pressure on the QB up the middle. Today, I am looking at the highly rated Eddie Goldman out of Florida State. Let's see if he lives up to the hype on the field. Read the rest of this entry »

building a deck on a retaining wall, and other advice
I've got house on a sloped lot, it slopes down from the front yard toward the back.
The basement has a full-size door that walks out into an area underneath the back deck.
The walk out area under the deck is lower then the immediate surrounding area, ideally the sides should be built up a bit to keep water flowing away from the walk out, but the place hasn't been cared for in years, so currently they slope quite a bit into the walk out under the deck, as a result during heavy rainfall that area can get very saturated, particularly if the water table is high. The dirt level is only about an inch or two below the door sill, so that can lead to water flowing into the basement under the door! :( The water does get into the ground, so I'm sure it's just a matter of expanding the area and keeping the whole level lower then the door sill.
The deck itself is positively trashed and ready to fall down... I wouldn't be surprised if it's the original from 1950 when the house was built, it's /that/ bad.
Long story short, what I'd like to do is replace the deck with one that is about 50% larger, ideally I'd like to build 3 retaining walls so that I expand the walk out area under the deck and have the deck posts supported on the wall, like a foundation. On one side, probably either left or right, I'd have steps built into the retaining wall to lead from the yard to the walk out.
I'd like to lower the level of the "finished surface" in the walk out area by a couple of inches, so that it's about 3-4" below the current door sill plate. I'm thinking the "finished surface" would either be compacted gravel (2-3") or a highly permeable paver. That would give me about 5-7" from the bottom of the sill to dirt, so hopefully that will help resolve the water issue.
My questions are--
- Any thoughts on this plan, things I should look out for, or that I might be overlooking?
- Can a retaining wall be build such that is acts a support for the deck?
- Around here the footings for the deck must be 4' below grade, so that does mean that my footings need to be 4' below the level of the finished surface in the walk out?
- Would I just be better off having block wall (CMU) foundation walls built and then putting up some sort of a stone veneer and cap to make the visible parts more attractive?
I'm planning to have the excavation and wall down professionally, right now I'm trying to research what is best, what to watch out for, etc... I'll be working with a professional carpenter (friend) that I'm hiring to build the deck on top--I think that will be a "no brainer" once we have the retaining wall in place, I'm not looking for anything too fancy, just a typically rectangular deck. Of course I'd work my friend to plans together ahead of time to coordinate the location of supports for posts...
Forgive what an eyesore I have back there :), I'm hoping expanding the walk out will give me a better place to store the trash barrel, and I'm going to be building a shed to store the rest... I've also since repaired the bare spots on the lawn... as a I said, this place hasn't been cared for in years...
The sump pump discharge is another thing I need to figure what I can do with... the back of my lot is the low level for the neighborhood, so there's no way to bury the pipe and lead it elsewhere. My town has a storm sewer system, for an expensive fee I may be able to plumb it (and my gutters) into that.
That deck's got a boatload of code violations (from today's code, at least) and should be reconstructed. I'm with you there.
If it were me, I'd put 2 retaining walls even with both sides of the house and extending away from it, to "box in" the basement level area and eliminate any directing of water towards the basement door. Grade the slope slightly away from the house.
Then you've got a nice big flat space to work with. Dig holes and pour footings for the deck posts (yes, 4' footings mean 4' below ground level--it has to do with frost lines), and build from there. I don't see any big savings by trying to incorporate post supports into the retaining walls.
I'd probably expand the deck to at least 2x of what it is now. It doesn't add that much cost to it once you've got things started, especially if you're DIY-ing it.
And I'd move the stairs to the side furthest from the house so they don't block the basement window.
Hi Weedy,
Thanks for the reply--
We currently don't even walk on the deck, the beams meeting at the outside-left corner have completely rotted away and not supported by the posts... I swear it's inertia and friction holding the thing up this point...
I like your idea of having just two retaining walls and leveling out the area, the trouble is that the lowest spot in my yard is not quite as low as I'd like the area under the deck to be, meaning in order to water away from the house I'd have to either build a retaining wall there or build up a small mound to provide grade. This is why I was thinking of building retaining walls on 3 sides to box in the whole area under the deck while incorporating a set of steps into one of the walls (probably right side) to keep access.
For the footings, I figured I needed to 4' lower then the lowest point around me, just wanted to hear another opinion... this a lot of digging!!
Regarding posts and retaining walls... my idea was that the footprint of the deck is exactly the same as the retaining wall--so are you suggesting making the deck larger then the footprint of the retaining wall, meaning the posts are set "outside" of the retaining wall? or smaller? I wasn't really expecting to gain much by incorporating posts into the retaining wall, just trying to maximize my space under the deck for storage.
Currently the deck is about even w/ the window on the right side, and off by only a couple of feet on the other, so expanding the deck parallel w/ the house could only grow by 2-3' before it starts to overhang the windows (I think it's 8' now, so it could grow to maybe 10')... I could certainly grow the deck perpendicular to the house, that might be the best option, that would also allow me have more of the deck in the sun which would be nice.
I'm doing a a "hybrid DIY" on the build, I'll be hiring a family friend who is a professional carpenter, so I do have hourly costs associated with the build, but all the same I'd still rather spend more now to get a better build :)
Ideally I'll be getting "serious" around July 1st, applying for the permits, taking down the old deck, etc...
"I'd like the area under the deck to be, meaning in order to water away from the house I'd have to either build a retaining wall there or build up a small mound to provide grade."
I was just thinking... one option here could be a very short retaining wall on the "long" side of the deck, maybe only about 12-15" high with a step inside as well... so from the yard you'd walk up a gentle slope to that wall, then there would be just one step down into the lower area.
That would allow just the two retaining walls, and depending on whether I needed posts on the short sides I might not need to worry about incorporating them into a retaining wall at all.
If you can't grade the slope away from the house forever, at some point it starts sloping back up (or has a step or retaining wall), but not until it's far enough away from the house that it won't get into the basement. That's not a problem. Just slope down until you're past the deck/patio area.
BTW, we helped a friend redo their deck of similar construction and vintage. It was about 10x10, a bit wobbly, and when we removed the single tapcon screw holding it to the brick, it collapsed.
We got from before to after (photos below) in a day. (We had to come back the next weekend for a couple hours to finish up the stair handrails). If you're organized and have a good advisor, you should be able to knock it out quickly. Obviously you've got to do some grading and wall-building first, but the deck construction can go pretty quickly.
I'd never even considered the retaining walls out at the corners of the house, that certainly gives me something to think about!
Looks like a nice deck you put up!
My adviser is a veteran carpenter, I've personally seen work he's done for those who recommended him, they all say the same thing "It's built to last forever", so I'm lucky, but also worried because I only have one shot to get it right on the design :^D
I think it's just asking for future problems if you add a wall and keep the space around the door lower than the surrounding area. I suppose you could put in a drain and pipe it (and the sump pump output to the back of the yard to a dry pond or something.
If the door isn't needed for emergency egress you could just eliminate it. Or replace it with a bulkhead door.
But I like weedy's retaining wall idea better. Maybe you could get by with just the wall on the right side? And you might consider extending the deck a little and putting the stairs down to the top of the right wall - you'd need a shorter set of steps that way.
Just a couple more ideas.

Look at American newspapers and you will see that you are missing: happiness can be purchased just through money. They create a feeling that you are missing something; then you start working for it, then you earn money, then you purchase it. And then you feel that you have been deceived. But that feeling is not very deep, because before you feel that you have been deceived some new deceptions have entered the mind, and now they are pulling you ahead. You must have a hill station house, or you must have a summer resort, or you must have a yacht - something is always there to be achieved. Only then will you be happy. They will go on pulling you up to your death. Until you die, those advertisements, that propaganda, will go on pulling you.
This monk is right. This must be part of your alertness - that you should not be fooled by others. The whole society exists on exploitation, exploiting the other. Everybody is exploiting. And this exploitation is not only in the market, it is in the temple, in the church, in the synagogue. It is everywhere.because the priest is also a businessman, and the pope is a super-businessman. Because you need peace, you ask for peace, so there are people who say, "Come to us, we will give you peace." You ask for bliss, and there are people who are ready to sell bliss to you. If people like Maharishi Mahesh Yogi succeed in the West, they don't succeed in the East. Nobody listens to them in India. Nobody is bothered.
But America listens to every kind of nonsense. Once you get onto the right channel of propaganda, once you get all the right advertising people, then there is no problem. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi talks as if the inner silence can be purchased immediately, as if within a week you can find meditation; just by sitting for fifteen minutes and repeating a mantra you will be happy forever and ever. And the American mind, which has been poisoned by advertisements, is immediately attracted and a crowd gathers. The crowd goes on changing but it is always a crowd, and it appears as if things are happening. Even temples and churches have become shops.
Meditation cannot be purchased and no one can give it to you. You have to achieve it. It is not something outer, it is something inner, a growth, and that growth comes through awareness. Call your own name, in the morning, in the night, in the afternoon, whenever you feel sleepy, call your own name. And not only call it, answer it and say it loudly. Don't be afraid of others. You have been afraid of others enough; they have already murdered you through fear. Don't be afraid. Even in the marketplace, remember. Call your own name, "Teertha, are you here?" And answer, "Yes sir."
Let people laugh. Don't be fooled by them. The only thing to be achieved is alertness - not respect, not respectability from people. .Because that is one of their tricks: they make you obedient through respectability. They say, "We will respect you. You bow down and be obedient. Don't be there at all. Just follow the society and the society will pay you much respect." This is a mutual arrangement. The more dead you are the more society will pay you respect; the more alive you are the more society will create trouble for you.

ASA bans Mirror casino ad for appealing to children
By Daniel Farey-Jones, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 07 November 2012 12:01AM
The ad watchdog has banned a press ad for the Daily Mirror's online casino because it judged an image of a Transformers cartoon character was likely to appeal to children.
The ad for MirrorCasino.com was carried in the Money section of the paper. It stated, "Free £5 to play with today" and included Transformers character Optimus Prime.
One person complained to the Advertising Standards Association (ASA) that the ad was irresponsible because it was likely to appeal to children.
The publisher of the Daily Mirror, Trinity Mirror, said it would not use the ad, or the Transformers image, to advertise Mirror Casino in future.
In its defence, it said the ad featured a licensed image of the Transformers character because one of the games that could be played on Mirror Casino was a Transformers-branded game.
It added the website made it clear the website was for over-18s only and users were required to prove they were aged 18 or over by supplying a credit card and complying with an age-verification system.
The ASA said it was satisfied the ad had not been directly targeted at children, but considered that the depiction of a popular comic book character was likely to have particular appeal to children and young people, which was against the CAP Code.
It ruled the ad breached CAP Code rules on social responsibility and gambling.
Separately, the ASA banned a TV ad for bookmaker BetVictor, after one complaint, because its claim it gave the best prices most often in the football Premier League last season did not clearly state it related to the match-result market only.Follow @DanFareyJones

Thanksgiving Day Mythstags: Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving dinner: never has the history of a meal been so obscured by myth. Every year on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans sit down to eat with family and friends. Some gather to give thanks for all that they have received over the previous year; others get together just to enjoy turkey and football. We all celebrate Thanksgiving in our own ways.
So what do most Americans believe happened on that first Thanksgiving Day? Most still cling to what they learned in elementary school. The Pilgrims sat down with Indians for a big meal of turkey, cornbread, cranberries and pumpkin pie. The Pilgrims dressed in black, and the Indians wore feathers and colorful beads. In fact, many Americans today still recall if they were "pilgrims" or "Indians" in their school pageants.
It's a charming story, but it's a myth. To be sure, it's a powerful one -- one that will be repeated many times this November. The fact that it's so pervasive is evidence that American myths have long lives.
So what are the facts of that first Thanksgiving? In fact, the Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony in today's Massachusetts did share a meal with the Wampanoag Indians in the autumn of 1621, but the rest of the details are uncertain. The only documentary evidence of the event comes from the journal of Plymouth Colony's governor, Edward Winslow, who noted simply that the colonists met with Chief Massasoit and 90 of his men for a feast that lasted four days. No one worried about cholesterol or obesity in 1621!
Though they don't have much evidence, historians and archaeologists do have an educated hypothesis of what the Pilgrims ate, how they ate, when they ate and what they wore at that first Thanksgiving meal. The historical facts are not at all like the scene usually painted in elementary school.
Start with the menu. It's not likely that the Pilgrims and the Indians consumed any bread dressing, mashed potatoes or pumpkin pie. In fact, it is not likely that they ate any roast turkey either. The only items listed in Winslow's journal were "venison and wild fowl," and it is likely that dried corn and fruit filled out the bill of fare. In colonial times, a person ate what was available, when it was available. No one back then saved room for pumpkin pie.
Another myth has to do with how the meal was served. The Pilgrims and the Indians did not, as the myth has it, sit down at tables, bless their food or pass the serving dishes. It's more likely that food was set out on every available flat surface: tables, boxes, benches, and tree stumps. The meal was consumed without ceremony over three days, whenever someone was hungry.
No one used plates or eating utensils. Although both the colonists and the Indians occasionally used cloths or napkins if the food was hot, they usually ate with their hands. And not everyone ate everything that was served. Most diners ate what they liked or whatever dish was closest to them.
Finally, it's important to dispel one last Thanksgiving myth -- that the Pilgrims dressed in black and white clothing, wore pointed hats and starched bonnets and favored buckles on their shoes. It's true that they dressed in black on Sundays; but on most days, including the first Thanksgiving, they dressed in white, beige, black, green and brown. And it's likely that the Indians were fully clothed to ward off the chill of autumn in New England. Who would wear only a loincloth in Massachusetts in November?
So it's a good thing that Americans today are not tested on the history of that first Thanksgiving, because few of us would earn a passing grade. It seems that the historical evidence of Thanksgiving is not as compelling as the myths that cloud our memories. It's too bad that childhood images of Pilgrims and Indians aren't based on historical facts.
And yet there's a legacy about this holiday that threads its way from past to the present and defies both myth and historical evidence. That legacy is generosity. To be sure, Americans today may not be as religious as the Pilgrims, but most Americans do share their plenty with their family and friends on this special day. It's a holiday that brings all Americans, no matter their creed or disposition, together. And that's something worthy of our thanks.

From the falling down leaves, I could smell the turkey and pumpkin pie. With the colder and colder wind, Thanksgiving Day is getting closer and closer. I, sometimes, just wonder the way how our ancient celebrated the Thanksgiving Day. They might have no balloon, no rubber wristband or any modern equipment. They might have only band, dancing, games and traditional food. In our eyes, their life was too simple to give thanks. They could only survive from starvation, disease and other God action; they survived so they delivered their thanks to God, which in my opinion should be delivered to the Indians, without whom our ancients could have no possibility to survive.
Look back over our history, I think may be America is the country which on the list of having no idea how to deliver thanks countries. Though every year when Thanksgiving Day is coming, our teacher, our parents or even the old people in our suburb would ask us to think out or even to write down who or what we would like to give our thanks. And every time this task becomes a headache task for us, we do not know what to say, so we just write down that we would like to thank the weather, the rain, the snow for they give us something fun. Or we would like to thank our grandparents for they gave us chocolate to eat. We have no idea of whom or what do really help us. Just like what our ancient did before. They survived because of the Indian's help, but they deliver their thanks to God (of course part of the thanksgiving party was held for Indian), then later they turn their gunshot to Indian, who saved them before and was their friends.
Maybe Thanksgiving Day should not only bring us the memory of turkey or pumpkin pie, but also should ask us to think.

Elise - 11/30/2002
I doubt that Massasoit and 90 "men" came to eat. I believe it would have been quite strange for there to be no women and children along.
C. Cahill - 11/27/2002
Interestingly, our family visited the Plimouth restoration last year on a bitterly cold day in November. The Indian men were indeed out in little more than loin cloths. One Indian lady who was demonstrating sewing did have a fur wrap over her shoulders, but the men working on a canoe had bare arms and chests. They claimed not to be cold and expressed surprise that those of us visiting were dressed so warmly. The temperature that day was in the 30s and it was quite windy. I would have described the day as "bitter".

What can I do to not have ait pockets between the screen and shiny film
When I apply the film it has many air pockets and it is only noticeable when the phone is off but looks terrible.
- Asked by Todd T
- Dec 1, 2009
Power Support Crystal Film Set
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
The air pockets are caused by small comtaminants preventing the film from laying flat on the glass. Make certain the glass is VERY clean to begin with. Also, do not touch the adhesive side of the film. If there are no contaminants and the bubble truely is a bubble, you should be able to work the bubble to the side of the film with a thin hard device like the edge of a credit card.
- Answered by David B from West Linn
- Dec 10, 2009
If you simply have air pockets you just push them out with a cloth or in my case my finger. If they are caused by dust just check the power support site for a hand guide to do this. Also give the protector 24hours to fully settle you will notice a big difference.

"Why do you have dreadlocks?
I am 50% black, right? My hair is extremely, EXTREMELY, kinky as hell. I loved having straight hair, but a lot of you who are not African American or mixed with it don't really understand the effort we put into our hair. Relaxers, weave costs $200 every several months, tons of maintenance, and for what? I live in the Southeast, it's so humid, my hair would just puff up and get curly. In a few years I do want to cut them because you can reattach. I want to have straight hair again in a few years when I live in CA, and then when I am ready I will reattach my dreadlocks and such. No offense, but I don't really care to hear that you liked my fake hair because I love being natural and it's easier on me— go through my struggle and you'd understand. Just be happy for me."

Gophers Celebrate 2014 Season at Awards Banquet
May 4, 2014
The University of Minnesota women's gymnastics team celebrated its 2014 season with its annual awards banquet at TCF Bank Stadium's University Club Room Sunday.
The Gophers were Big Ten co-champions in the regular season for the second-consecutive year and came in third at the ensuing Big Ten championships. Minnesota placed third at the Minneapolis Regional at the Sports Pavilion to finish the season with a team record of 27-6.
At the banquet, sophomore Lindsay Mable received the team's Most Valuable Performer Award for the second season in a row. Rachel Haines earned the Freshman of the Year Award, while fellow first-year gymnast Bailie Holst earned the Most Improved Award. Junior Kylie Schermann took home the Mariam Award after sharing the honor with classmate Cierra Tomson in 2013.
Mable picked up in 2014 as a sophomore where she left off after an impressive freshman campaign. The Aurora, Colo. native was the NACGC/W North Central Region Gymnast of the Year, became Minnesota's first Big Ten All-Around champion since 2009 with a school-record 39.650 score that included the school's third perfect 10 score, and was a five time All-American.

Ronald Radosh: History as Ideology: Further Thoughts on "American Betrayal"
Writing on this website, Bernie Reeves attempts an evaluation of both Diana West's book and my own critique of it. Their method, particularly that engaged in by Diana West, is one that my colleagues John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr write is that of intellectual "'true believers,' ideological zealots who are mentally incapable of accepting or processing information that undermines their historical worldview."

United States ≠ Soviet Union ≠ Nazi Germany
Credit: LIFE magazine.Ronald Radosh's riposte to Diana West fantasies about Soviet control over American foreign and military policy during World War II is most welcome and very well done. It is depressing that West's nonsense finds some fans. Yet error and Radosh's convincing criticism draws welcome attention to the complexity of World War II and of the alliance of the Western democracies with the Soviet Union. Winston Churchill, who as much as any one person saved Western civilization in 1940 and 1941, put it best. When asked how he, whose political career was bound up with anticommunism since he advocated armed intervention to overthrow the new Bolshevik regime in 1917-1918, could support an alliance with Stalin he famously replied: "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would rise in the House of Commons to make a speech in favor of the devil." In 1941, Hitler invaded the Hell of Stalin's Russia and Churchill made a remarkable speech on the BBC to offer an alliance with the previous Soviet foe.

10791079 Unto Bethphage and Bethany (εις Βηθφαγη κα Βηθανιαν). Both together as in Lu 19:29 , though Mt 21:1 mentions only Bethphage. See discussion in Matthew for this and the Mount of Olives.
As ye enter
(εισπορευομενο). So also Lu 19:30
. Present middle participle.
The Lord
(ο Κυριος). So Matt. and Luke. See on Mt 21:3
for discussion of this word applied to Jesus by himself.
A colt tied at the door without in the open street
(πωλον δεδεμενον προς θυραν εξω επ του αμφοδου). A carefully drawn picture. The colt was outside the house in the street,
but fastened (bound, perfect passive participle) to the door. "The better class of houses were built about an open court,
from which a passage way under the house led to the street outside. It was at this outside opening to the street that the
colt was tied" (Gould). The word αμφοδος (from αμφω, both, and οδος, road) is difficult. It apparently means road around a
thing, a crooked street as most of them were (cf. Straight Street in Ac 9:11
). It occurs only here in the N.T. besides D in Ac 19:28
. It is very common in the papyri for vicus or "quarter."
10831083 Certain of those that stood there (τινες των εκε εστηκοτων). Perfect active participle, genitive plural. Bystanders. Lu 19:33 terms them "the owners thereof" (ο κυριο αυτου). The lords or masters of the colt. They make a natural protest.
10841084 They bring the colt unto Jesus (φερουσιν τον πωλον προς τον Ιησουν). Vivid historical present. The owners acquiesced as Jesus had predicted. Evidently friends of Jesus.
10851085 Branches (στιβαδας). A litter of leaves and rushes from the fields. Textus Receptus spells this word στοιβαδας. Mt 21:8 has κλαδους, from κλαω, to break, branches broken or cut from trees. Joh 12:13 uses the branches of the palm trees (τα βαια των φοινικων), "the feathery fronds forming the tufted crown of the tree" (Vincent). That is to say, some of the crowd did one of these things, some another. See on Mt 21:4-9 for discussion of other details. The deliberate conduct of Jesus on this occasion could have but one meaning. It was the public proclamation of himself as the Messiah, now at last for his "hour" has come. The excited crowds in front (ο προαγοντες) and behind (ο ακολουθουντες) fully realize the significance of it all. Hence their unrestrained enthusiasm. They expect Jesus, of course, now to set up his rule in opposition to that of Caesar, to drive Rome out of Palestine, to conquer the world for the Jews.
When he had looked round about upon all things
(περιβλεψαμενος παντα). Another Markan detail in this aorist middle participle. Mark does not give what Lu 19:39-55
has nor what Mt 21:10-17
does. But it is all implied in this swift glance at the temple before he went out to Bethany with the Twelve,
10871087 On the morrow (τη επαυριον). Mt 21:18 has "early" (πρω), often of the fourth watch before six A.M. This was Monday morning. The Triumphal Entry had taken place on our Sunday, the first day of the week.
10881088 If haply he might find anything thereon (ε αρα τ ευρησε εν αυτη). This use of ε and the future indicative for purpose (to see if, a sort of indirect question) as in Ac 8:22; 17:27 . Jesus was hungry as if he had had no food on the night before after the excitement and strain of the Triumphal Entry. The early figs in Palestine do not get ripe before May or June, the later crop in August. It was not the season of figs, Mark notes. But this precocious tree in a sheltered spot had put out leaves as a sign of fruit. It had promise without performance.
No man eat fruit from thee henceforward forever
(Μηκετ εις τον αιωνα εκ σου μηδεις καρπον φαγο). The verb φαγο is in the second aorist active optative. It is a wish for
the future that in its negative form constitutes a curse upon the tree. Mt 21:19
has the aorist subjunctive with double negative ου μηκετ γενητα, a very strong negative prediction that amounts to a prohibition.
See on Matthew. Jesus probably spoke in the Aramaic on this occasion.
Began to cast out
(ηρξατο εκβαλλειν). Mark is fond of "began." See on Mt 21:12f.
for discussion of this second cleansing of the temple in its bearing on that in Joh 2:14f
10911091 Through the temple (δια του ιερου). The temple authorities had prohibited using the outer court of the temple through the Precinct as a sort of short cut or by-path from the city to the Mount of Olives. But the rule was neglected and all sorts of irreverent conduct was going on that stirred the spirit of Jesus. This item is given only in Mark. Note the use of ινα after ηφιε (imperfect tense) instead of the infinitive (the usual construction).
10921092 For all the nations (πασιν τοις εθνεσιν). Mark alone has this phrase from Isa 56:7; Jer 7:11 . The people as well as the temple authorities were guilty of graft, extortion, and desecration of the house of prayer. Jesus assumes and exercises Messianic authority and dares to smite this political and financial abuse. Some people deny the right of the preacher to denounce such abuses in business and politics even when they invade the realm of morals and religion. But Jesus did not hesitate.
Sought how they might destroy him
(εζητουν πως αυτον απολεσωσιν). Imperfect indicative, a continuous attitude and endeavour. Note deliberative subjunctive
with πως retained in indirect question. Here both Sadducees (chief priests) and Pharisees (scribes) combine in their resentment
against the claims of Jesus and in the determination to kill him. Long ago the Pharisees and the Herodians had plotted for
his death (Mr 3:6
). Now in Jerusalem the climax has come right in the temple.
Every evening
(οταν οψε εγενετο). Literally,
As they passed by in the morning
(παραπορευομενο πρω). Literally, passing by in the morning. The next morning. They went back by the lower road up the Mount
of Olives and came down each morning by the steep and more direct way. Hence they saw it. Mt 21:20
does not separate the two mornings as Mark does.
Peter calling to remembrance
(αναμνησθεις ο Πετρος). First aorist participle, being reminded. Only in Mark and due to Peter's story. For his quick memory
see also
10971097 Have faith in God (εχετε πιστιν θεου). Objective genitive θεου as in Gal 2:26; Ro 3:22,26 . That was the lesson for the disciples from the curse on the fig tree so promptly fulfilled. See this point explained by Jesus in Mt 21:21 which see for "this mountain" also.
Shall not doubt in his heart
(μη διακριθη εν τη καρδια αυτου). First aorist passive subjunctive with ος αν. The verb means a divided judgment (δια from
δυο, two, and κρινω, to judge). Wavering doubt. Not a single act of doubt (διακριθη), but continued faith (πιστευη).
10991099 Believe that ye have received them (πιστευετε οτ ελαβετε). That is the test of faith, the kind that sees the fulfilment before it happens. Ελαβετε is second aorist active indicative, antecedent in time to πιστευετε, unless it be considered the timeless aorist when it is simultaneous with it. For this aorist of immediate consequence see Joh 15:6 .
Whensoever ye stand
(οταν στηκετε). Late form of present indicative στηκω, from perfect stem εστηκα. In LXX. Note use of οταν as in
11:19. Jesus does not mean by the use of "stand" here to teach that this is the only proper attitude in prayer.
11011101 This verse is omitted by Westcott and Hort. The Revised Version puts it in a footnote.
11021102 The chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders (ο αρχιερεις κα ο γραμματεις κα ο πρεσβυτερο). Note the article with each separate group as in Lu 20:1 and Mt 21:23 . These three classes were in the Sanhedrin. Clearly a large committee of the Sanhedrin including both Sadducees and Pharisees here confront Jesus in a formal attack upon his authority for cleansing the temple and teaching in it.
11031103 By what authority (εν ποια εξουσια). This question in all three Gospels was a perfectly legitimate one. See on Mt 21:23-27 for discussion. Note present subjunctive here (ινα ταυτα ποιηις), that you keep on doing these things.
11041104 Answer me (αποκριθητε μο). This sharp demand for a reply is only in Mark. See also verse 29. Jesus has a right to take this turn because of John's direct relation to himself. It was not a dodge, but a home thrust that cleared the air and defined their attitude both to John and Jesus. They rejected John as they now reject Jesus.
11051105 If we say (εαν ειπωμεν). Third-class condition with aorist active subjunctive. The alternatives are sharply presented in their secret conclave. They see the two horns of the dilemma clearly and poignantly. They know only too well what Jesus will say in reply. They wish to break Christ's power with the multitude, but a false step now will turn the laugh on them. They see it.
11061106 But should we say (αλλα ειπωμεν). Deliberative subjunctive with aorist active subjunctive again. It is possible to supply εαν from verse 31 and treat it as a condition as there. So Mt 21:26 and Lu 20:6 . But in Mark the structure continues rugged after "from men" with anacoluthon or even aposiopesis--"they feared the people" Mark adds. Matthew has it: "We fear the multitude." Luke puts it: "all the people will stone us." All three Gospels state the popular view of John as a prophet. Mark's "verily" is οντως really, actually. They feared John though dead as much as Herod Antipas did. His martyrdom had deepened his power over the people and disrespect towards his memory now might raise a storm (Swete).
11071107 We know not (ουκ οιδαμεν). It was for the purpose of getting out of the trap into which they had fallen by challenging the authority of Jesus. Their self-imposed ignorance, refusal to take a stand about the Baptist who was the Forerunner of Christ, absolved Jesus from a categorical reply. But he has no notion of letting them off at this point.

Peanut allergies - Random Topics
baldrick, Am I reading you correctly in that you think we should isolate those with peanut allergies? Even if one doesn't care that it would be exceedingly punitive to folks who didn't ask to have that reaction, how difficult would implementing that proposed solution be compared to merely continuing to print a 'this product may contain peanuts' label on packages for consumers to make the decisions for themselves about whether they want to eat something with peanuts or serve it to friends/family who may have the allergies? If you don't want to have kids with peanut allergies ask your intended to take an allergen test before having sex with them if you like but isolating folks as though they comitted a heinous crime seems a bit extreme and quite the opposite of any freedom of choice! Thankfully, I don't have that condition but if I knew someone I cared about had it, I'd be sure to check the labels before I served them anything I knew could trigger possibly fatal reactions. Personally, I think for the sake of those who suffer the allergies (rather than those who consider it annoying to read the packaging labels), peanut allergies boned Day One. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on May 23, 2010, 5:40 pm

That's So Raven - TV Shows
It didn't matter to me about the star's size but what bugged me about this was that, in the beginning at least, the show had potential to become a good classic comedy (e.g. when she's trying to keep her parents from meeting her teacher at school by faking being her own mother was almost 'I Love Lucy' in caliber). Problem is that it quickly devolved into a live action cartoon and it just seemed as though the writers, performers, etc. got lazy and went that route instead of trying to live up to their potential. Plus the whole phychic deal would have been better off just shot down at the writers' table. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on May 18, 2010, 11:39 am

I like how this cluster of unconventional families in this one extended family who each have interesting personalities have a true bond despite (because?) of their clashing unconventionalities. Plus, it's good to see Ed (or Jay) actually happily married to a passionate but goldenhearted much younger Latina and a good dad to his smarter-than-but-still-respectful-to-his-folks stepson !

Nellie Oleson's mother (NOT Harriet or the actress who played her). Yeah, the voice actress who played Casper gave birth to Allison Arngrim. Don't know what's more odd- that Casper who was a boy ghost was voiced by a living woman OR that the boring Friendly Ghost is connected to one of the most entertaining unfriendly characters in TV history!

I never saw this one but would someone tell me why his wife (in the arcade game at least) was called 'Ms. PacMan' instead of just PacWoman? As for the game itself? OK but not as fun as Space Invaders or my personal fave Qix(reminded me of medieval conquests for some reason and I liked the sound effects)! Yeah, it's been awhile since I was into this stuff. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on April 28, 2010, 5:49 pm
Land of the Lost - TV Shows
This one's easy. It boned when Dad fell into the Pylon going no one knows where- and the kids reacted to the loss of their sole surviving parent (with them still stuck in this weird dimension) as though they'd dropped their fries in the lunch line. Yeah, Uncle Jack came along right afterwards and they all acted as though Dad was totally expendable as long they had Uncle Jack to beat back Scarface. About the only episode after that that was any good was when they met Medusa who turned an entire dino into stone before they did her in (guess how). -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on April 28, 2010, 5:41 pm
Hard Time on Planet Earth - TV Shows
MCS, As a public service, I'm about to do for you(as well as the other Regulars+ all the 'Net trolls) what I've done for very few folks in my offline life- admit I actually watched this show. Yeah, I'm enough to remember it and was even legal age so I can't use the folly of youth as an excuse for having seen it! Back then, I was somewhat into sci-fi stuff and thought the idea of an alien trying to find out the customs of our planet intriguing enough to watch this. Not a bad premise in itself, right? Well,here goes what this was about, this alien warrior who rebelled against authority gets 'imprisoned' on Earth in a human body. Well, because he happened to steal some mechanic's coveralls for his first clothing and the coveralls were tagged with the name of 'Jesse', this would be the only name he'd be known as. With only the advantage of superhuman strength to help him survive, he was supposed to infiltrate our world observing customs as quietly and inobtrusively as possible. Of course, Jesse being somewhat of a warrior hothead couldn't do anything quietly and often would get into trouble by taking everything quite literally the humans would say to him. Oh, he had a combination nag/companion in the person. .er machine. .thing of this big, talking floating eyeball known as Control who at first was his marked advesary but once Jesse threatened to inform the alien bigwigs of Control's incompetence and offtask behavior, they truced it over to become kinda friends. Of course, this meant that Jesse had to constantly disguise, hide this eyeball to keep his cover from being an alien blown. After a few episodes, Jesse actually seemed to prefer staying here instead of going back where he came from and a great deal of his warrior angst got defused. Okay, if you've read this far, you get the idea that this seemed somewhat a lame show that didn't last long for good reason but I stuck it out as long as I could (what else was there to watch in 1989?). However; the show boned entirely when they had an episode in which Jesse became a Disney theme park employee but of course got into all kind of Disney scrapes. The floating eyeball somehow got drunk and wound up singing 'It's a Small World After All'. That was IT for me. I hope this helps. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on April 28, 2010, 5:30 pm
All Creatures Great and Small - TV Shows
Thanks for commenting on this one,Nyssa and Mythigator. It's one of my fave Brit shows of all time!I used to look forward to watching this every Sunday morning when it came on my local PBS station with its great mixture of drama, humor and just the dynamics between the leads themselves, the patient animals they treated (and the patients' owners they had to deal with re paying the bills,etc.) There's so much to like and be intrigued with this, it's hard to know where to start. I liked how they did a great deal of location filming all over the Dales including in REAL stone barns in miserable, rainy days where foggy breath was the norm- just as many vets have had to put up with . James was a good nebbishy straight man here who could be easily intimidated by animal's owners, his fiancee/wife Helen and his co-workers when they'd try to put stuff over on him. However; he'd become a virtual unstoppable superhero if there was a possibility of one of his animal patients' needlessly suffering with no one and nothing would get him to back down! It's a good thing he cared for and liked animals so much because he had no escape from them- even when he lived in Skeldale House with his vet partners the Farnon Brothers(the sons of an unseen mother who was a Wagner fan), the bombastic elder brother Siegfried always had large numbers of big dogs following him. Tristan was more of a laidback goof who was often trying to scam James to do more of his work but he often provided the necessary comic relief when the drama got too serious. Totally devoted to the group and not the least bit daunted by all these men and dogs was their sturdy housekeeper Mrs. Hall whom even Siegfried deferred to. Of course, James had more in his life than dogs and Farnons when, to his unexpected delight, this gorgeous, sweet local girl named Helen actually took an interest in him and was even willing to marry him despite their having to live in a house with all these other men and dogs! Helen, it turned out also had his passion for making things right with the animals in their corner of the world. James and the Farnon Brothers treated a wide range of animals everything from plowhorses,calving cows to pampered pooches and cats. Of course, while the world may have seemed timeless to their patients, it wasn't for the humans who were struggling with the Great Depression and then the start of World War II and soon the War would scatter the Herriots and Farnons to the wind and the show would end for the time being. Three years later, they revived the show in a postwar setting back in the Dales but it wasn't nearly as fun or interesting (Callum did his best but he was no Tristan). What seemed to be the most abrupt substitution was the replacement of the stunning and kindly Carol Drinkwater who'd played Helen with the decidedly more matronly and less sympathetic Lynda Bellingham. Think of it had Suzanne Pleshette left "Bob Newhart" and they brought in Rose Marie to play Emily Hartley! James just didn't seem to think of himself as lucky-he-got-her with Lynda as he did with Carol. Also, their kids seemed a bit cardboard. Still, even the latter years are worth watching if one has the chance! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on April 22, 2010, 10:10 am
