The Sacramento Kings have elected not to pick up their 14-15 option on Jimmer Fredette. Fredette would have been due $3.1 million if the Kings exercised the option. Fredette was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft ahead of Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard and Iman Shumpert. Fredette will become an unrestricted free agent in July.

Could Ohio State really use all three quarterbacks?
Urban Meyer and Ohio State have a problem. It's a good problem, but it's still a major issue that won't be resolved for a while.
The Buckeyes boast three championship-caliber quarterbacks in Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones, a luxury unheard of seemingly at any level. The competition for the starting job is undoubtedly fierce, and whomever takes the No. 1 spot...

Isaiah Thomas once peed himself to avoid subbing out
You typically have to be at least 54 inches tall to ride a roller coaster, 57 inches tall to get out of a booster seat, and at least six feet tall to play in the NBA.
OK, so the latter isn't an actual rule, but more of a forgone conclusion that if you don't hit that minimum height suggestion, you won't get a crack at most rosters beyond high school.

As the Common Core continues to insinuate its way into public education, its price tag and problems keep mounting. Reasoned opposition among conservatives and liberals, parents, teachers, policymakers, and citizens is also growing.
And with good reason.
Concocted by the same expert cadre thats brought us every post-1970 education boondoggle, and resting on the same gross unfamiliarity with actual classrooms and students, the arbitrary, biased, technology-laden, assessment-obsessed Common Core is the creature of the Gates Foundation, with entities like the Pearson conglomerate sitting at Mr. Gatess right hand. Pearson is the largest textbook and education software publisher in the world, as well as the worlds dominant education assessment contractor. Mr. Gatess connection to the computer and software business is also a matter of public record.
The Common Core amounts to a national curriculum and education system that is wresting control of our schools from communities, parents, and teachers. Prominent supporters of the Common Core, many of whom have connections to Mr. Gatess foundation and its money, insist that no state has been forced to participate.
You be the judge.
There is little dispute that the Common Core is the expression of Mr. Gatess agenda for public education. According to one prominent think tank executive, whose organization has itself received millions from Mr. Gates, It is not unfair to say that the Gates Foundations agenda has become the countrys agenda in education. While Mr. Gates would doubtless deny charges that hes the Common Cores puppeteer, he has consistently made clear through his words and his checkbook that he both supports and materially promotes what he describes as a state-led movement to install nationwide common standards.
Heres how the state-led part worked. Mr. Gates spent over $100 million developing and promoting the Common Core standards. The federal government established a $4.35 billion fund under the heading Race to the Top, to which states, many of whom were facing huge deficits owing to the recession, could apply competitively for grants ranging as high as $500 million. In order to be successful in obtaining the money, however, states applications had to satisfy specific criteria, criteria which amounted to a commitment to adopt the Common Core and other aspects of Mr. Gatess education agenda.
Mr. Gates even went so far as to select 15 states hed like to work with. These states were each provided a quarter-million dollars to help prepare sparkling grant applications that would conform to his requirements, prompting both Education Week and The New York Times to report that the selected 15 had the best chance to win the competition and hundreds of millions of dollars in federal money. The Times also noted the appointment of key former Gates Foundation employees at the Department of Education, including Arne Duncans chief of staff and the director of Race to the Top, who later became Mr. Duncans new chief of staff. Arne Duncan is President Obamas secretary of education.
When many of the unselected 35 states complained that Gates people were involved in helping the department pick winners and losers, the Gates Foundation offered to provide the same cash assistance to any state willing to prove they share the foundations views about education reform by signing an eight-point checklist.
This should put to rest any confusion about Mr. Gatess role in propelling the Common Core juggernaut. In short, in order to win the billions of taxpayer dollars, states had to satisfy Mr. Gatess requirements.
Eventually, 46 states signed on to the Common Core. They coalesced into two consortia, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. Both consortia have contracted with vendors to develop, administer, and score their elaborate Common Core assessments, contracts which will channel annual billions of public dollars to private corporations even as schools are forced by budget constraints to cut teachers and services.
Among their advisers and staff, these consortia do include some representatives from member states education bureaucracies, but were literally miles away from your local school and school board when it comes to determining what your children will be learning and how theyll be taught and tested. States themselves as voluntary consortium members have surrendered considerable authority over the governance of their schools and the education of their students.
PARCCs project management partner, for example, is Achieve Inc. Achieve has received millions of Gates dollars, was the cosponsor of the 2005 National Education Summit where Mr. Gates delivered the keynote address outlining his plans for Americas schools, and in its own words was active in the development, writing and review of the Common Core.
Similar Gates interconnections exist within the Smarter Balanced consortium. Smarter Balanced awarded an assessment contract to a vendor in partnership with the Educational Testing Service, which is now headed by David Coleman, the acknowledged architect of the Common Core. Coleman devised the Common Core while at the helm of Student Achievement Partners, an enterprise he founded, which received substantial Gates funding.
Both consortia have hired Pearson to oversee the transition to next-generation online assessments. Pearson is also in partnership with Gates to develop and market online curricula. In the name of personalized learning, Gates furnished $100 million to establish a database of individual students personal and school information. Identifying each student by name, address, and sometimes Social Security number, the database furnishes details ranging from a students hobbies and interests to his test scores and learning disabilities, information which according to the U.S. Department of Education can be distributed without parental consent to private companies selling educational products and services. Nine states are thus far participating in this commercial data-mining. Pearson software, already employed in many public school systems, routinely collects this data.
Mr. Gates is intelligent and entrepreneurial. His reign at Microsoft has also demonstrated his capacity for evasion and arrogance. He may, in fact, be acting in what he believes to be the nations best interest, even as some of his allies covet the billions in public treasure that will end up in their pockets.
Are we willing to let him determine what our schools should look like and how our children should be educated?
Great wealth conveys power, but it doesnt make you right. Mr. Gates has deployed his wealth to advance his vision of education and impose his Common Core solution, in Achieves words to recast a radical proposal into a national agenda. In so doing he has bypassed parents, teachers, school boards, and communities. Except its our children and schools hes doing this to, and its we as taxpayers who will be paying the bills.
Sometimes with great wealth comes great generosity. But other times great wealth brings an even greater arrogance. There is no greater arrogance than seizing for yourself the right to ordain whats best for a nation of other peoples children.

Angels look to keep Tigers on the ropes
Garrett Richards has tamed this potent Tigers lineup before. Now that he's filling in for the anchor of his team's rotation, injured right-hander Jered Weaver, the expectations are loftier and the task at hand is quite the tall order.
"You have to make pitches," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "It's not a forgiving lineup, but if you can make pitches and catch the ball on the defensive side, you have a chance to contain them."
Tommy Hanson contained the Tigers on Friday, when he tossed six shutout innings in the Angels' 8-1 win. Success against Detroit isn't unprecedented for Richards, either. He submitted one of the best starts of his career against Jim Leyland's bunch last year, when he held them to three hits in seven innings of a 13-0 win on July 17.
The Tigers are off to a 9-7 start, while the Angels have limped out of the gates at 5-10, but momentum is on the Halos' side after picking up their third straight home win on Friday night. The Tigers, conversely, needed a two-out RBI in the ninth to prevent being shut out in back-to-back games for the first time in five years.
"Torii [Hunter] is off to a great start, that whole team is off to a great start," Scioscia said. "They have some power arms, they're holding leads and their lineup is as deep as you can get. You have to pitch well, you have to navigate your way through some things at times, I think the key is to make your pitches and hopefully you're going to make the plays defensively."
In his first start of the season last Saturday, Richards yielded four runs on three hits and three walks against the Astros. He didn't factor into the decision.
Right-hander Rick Porcello, seeking his first win of the season, will oppose Richards. The 24-year-old has fashioned a 5.11 ERA in two starts, giving up seven runs in 12 1/3 innings. In seven career outings against Los Angeles, Porcello has compiled a 3-2 record and 5.80 ERA.
Tigers: Valverde impresses in Minor League debut
Longtime closer Jose Valverde did his best Friday to convince the Tigers he can help their ballclub.
Valverde, who has a May 8 opt-out deadline written into his Minor League contract, tossed a hitless inning in his first Minor League action, working the seventh frame for Class A Lakeland.
Angels: Callaspo lands on DL
The Angels placed third baseman Alberto Callaspo on the disabled list prior to Friday's game. The infielder has been dealing with tightness in his right calf for more than a week.
"Alberto wasn't making enough progress to project he was going to be able to play here in the next three or four days," Scioscia said. "He'll be ready in eight or nine days."
Callaspo is batting .273 in nine games this season.
Worth noting
• Hunter, who spent five seasons with the Angels, singled to center in his first at-bat against his former team on Friday. He tacked on a ninth-inning double and scored a run.
• Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson recorded the second multi-steal game of his career on Friday. He also swiped two bags on June 12, 2010.

NRG Face Cradle Cover Flannel, 5 Pack
Most face and headrest covers are made from less than ideal materials - spun poly or paper are the most common. This is because they tend to be disposable, but the NRG Face Cradle Cover Flannel, 5 Pack makes it easy to give clients a softer than ever surface while allowing you to avoid the waste of disposable covers.
Made from a double-brushed medium-weight flannel, this machine washable cover is a natural insulator that will keep clients comfortable in warm or cold weather. It fits most styles of face cover and provides customers with that ideal finishing touch that creates total relaxation and guarantees a return visit every time.
Cleaning Instructions:
Note: acutal fabric color may vary due to computer monitor accuracy.
As always, great product, price and service
I love my face cradles and of course I love to buy the 5 pk and save the money. My only suggestion is don't dry them. They do shrink some so they are really tight and bothersome to my clients. The new ones I have chose to not dry are perfect.
Well made. Fits the face rest really well. Washes well. Very soft. I really like this cover.
The feel is great but they are too snug to be a comfortable fit. Was hoping they were bigger!
I do not recommend this face cradle cover when you are using a fleece face cradle cover. The flannel does not cover it well. Too small. I use the NRG Poly face rest covers instead.

Visual technique / style: Live-action cutscenes
Group Description
The technological advancements of CD-ROM media and real-time decompression allowed games in the late 1980s and early 1990s to use full motion video, primarily for cutscenes. In an attempt to make games more film-like, these cutscenes soon went beyond traditional animation or CGI rendering techniques and used traditional live-action film making, with real actors, props and sets. Widespread throughout the 1990s, this style of cinematics has now been all but abandoned, with a few notable exceptions like entries in Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer series.This group collects games with such live-action elements. Note that the live-action footage need not always be a gameplay element, i.e. not all games in this group are necessarily "Interactive Movies".
- The live-action footage must have been acquired through traditional film making techniques, using video or film cameras shooting at common frame rates like 24, 25 or 30 frames a second. The footage must also be shown within the game at similar film-like frame rates. Thus, games that feature digitized images of actors that are later animated are not to be included (example: Mortal Kombat);
- The games must feature original footage. Sometimes, movie-based games contain scenes from the movie they are licensed from. These games are not to be included unless the footage, while shot during a motion picture shoot, was specifically intended for game usage (example: Enter the Matrix).

Of maxims and men
I believe the Phoenix Suns have one way to be a productive basketball team this season and get into the post-season: a maxim.
No One Here Gets Out Alive.
Although abstract and not for public consumption, the Suns players should play like the title Jerry Hopkins used for his biography of Doors' front man, Jim Morrison. These words would exist only within the confines of the locker room; the only time it would leave the locker room would be when the players walk down the tunnel and into the arena, playing with the attitude of this title.
No One Here Gets Out Alive implies so much.
It reeks of desperation. The Suns' chance at being relevant exists within the hearts and minds of their players acknowledging, understanding and physically regurgitating the meaning of the word desperation.
Although they do have talent, that talent exists within the shaky walls and sliding foundation of potential. The Museum of Potential is filled with many faces. Michael Beasley has an entire wing dedicated to him in the halls and rooms of this exhibition and Wesley Johnson will be your tour guide. Marcin Gortat is trying to find his way without the aid, comfort and shelter of Steve Nash and seems to be cracking slightly at the corners. There's a brilliant painting of Shannon Brown in the exhibit but somebody marked it with an "A."
The Suns are not going to walk more talent out on the floor than most of their NBA opponents. They need to play harder and smarter than their opponent if they wish to win games and the only way that is going to happen is if they acknowledge this fact, grip it tightly to their chest, dig their nails into it and use the power of desperation to win games.
But desperation alone isn't enough. Suns players must also understand how to use that desperation, refine that desperation, and focus that desperation through the prism of intensity. The slogan No One Here Gets Out Alive conveys a level of intensity that is borderline psychotic.
I understand this is impossible. I couldn't muster this type of intensity for all 16 games of an NFL season -- and that's what I was known for and why I was in the league in the first place. Trying to bring psychotic commitment and intensity to the floor through an 82-game season would be an exercise in futility. Although a logical fallacy, this is what the Suns need to aspire to and this is why maxims are helpful. They remind you of something you have committed to; and this is where leadership and accountability come into play.
Teams that have that No One Here Gets Out Alive mentality have made a commitment to each other. The commitment says nothing about winning games or willing yourself to be successful; the commitment carries a sole expectation: you will play with desperation and intensity to the best of your abilities�night-in and night-out.
The Suns are on a six-game road trip. This would be a perfect time for them to come together and bond, to commit to each other. Teams that have a No One Here Gets Out Alive mentality play well on the road. It doesn't mean they're going to win, but teams that have that chip -- that desperation -- more times than not, are competitive and give themselves a shot at stealing games.
I enjoy watching this team play because they have players that already know what it's like to give all that they have. Therefore, it's not only feasible to adopt this mentality but these respected players need to implement it as a team and rally around it. Jared Dudley, Goran Dragic, Luis Scola, P.J. Tucker, Sebastian Telfair and Markieff Morris are sentinels of athletic intensity and competitive integrity. They have the ability to embody a maxim and cultivate that mentality throughout the locker room. If they get all parties on-board and play with desperation, they could win more games than they lose and be one of the better stories in the league.
In the end we all know adopting the motto of No One Here Gets Out Alive will not win games for the Suns. Their season will not turn on a saying. Maxims don't win games, men do. But unless the Suns play with rabid commitment, their season will come to The End sooner than later; just ask Morrison.

Question for the Weekend Posted this on our facebook page. www.facebook.com/spookyexpress So would love to hear some answers here at the forum and feel free to stop by on Facebook and post them as well. On Tuesday the defending National Champion Kentucky Wildcats lost to a team more known for their sweet nickname (Bobby Mo) than their basketball program. For Wildcats fans this is the end of a hugely disappointing season. So since I am a USC fan and earlier this season the USC Trojans were a preseason favorite to win the National Championship in Football. They had the Heisman Trophy front runner and the attention of the nation. What started out with promise ended up as anything but. The question that The Spooky Express would like to ask is which program had the worse season? 1. Kentucky Wildcats in Basketball 2. USC Trojans in Football Whats your thoughts?
Make post sticky on:
That's a tough one! I'd probably say USC as bad as I hate to admit that! why? Because Kentucky lost a good part of their starting line up and repeats are tough! (Unless your Alabama or Duke). I felt when USC's QB and a few other players decided to stick it out for their senior year they just might do it! HOWEVER, in my humble opinion their coach SUCKS so I am not surprised USC didn't make it - so that being said I want to change my vote - Kentucky had the more disappointed season!
It figures it would take a women to change her mind even on this question. lol Needless to say its USC in my humble and non-judgemental opinion.
I thought you'd appreciate that LOL
USC made a low tier bowl game after being punished by the NCAA the year before. Kentucky as defending champions made the NIT with Calipari. I think I've stated my case. And that includes anyone who climbs on bandwagoneers or rides the homer.
I'd say Kentucky...too much pressure in college foots in that one loss for the preseason number 1 and all of the season goals are pretty much already out the window...once USC wasn't at least going to the Rose Bowl what did it really matter? Much longer season for cbb to make adjustments, etc.
I'd have to go with Kentucky. I sure didn't expect them to end up like this!
I will go with Kentucky. I don't care how many problems they had this year, for a program like that to not make the tourney is embarrassing. Then to be a number one seed in the NIT (not in tournatment- tournament) and lose is even worse. I did not mind seeing USC suffer though...........they get on my nerves.
Lean to Kentucky. True, they had depleted lineup vs last season, but this just seamed to come from nowhere. USC program on sorta a spiral anyway, so I'd say from a surprise standpoint it was Kenty.

Selle Italia SLR Super Flow Saddle

Aaron P.
Great saddle
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The only negative comment I have about this saddle is that I regret not purchasing it years ago. I've been on the Antares VS for the last few years on both road and cyclocross, and recently began experiencing numbness on long road rides. This saddle eliminated the numbness issues and got me back on point. I'm 6'4" 220lbs with the typical "big guy" American body type, and am in my mid 30s. I highly recommend this saddle if you have a similar body type/build.

Perfect saddle
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Saddles are such a personal item that a review seems superfluous. But that said, if you like a flat saddle profile and the SLR shape this is an awesome saddle. I have tried a huge number of styles - mostly out of curiosity - and always come back to the SLR profile and shape. I have been on these saddles for more than 15 years. It's the only thing I will ride for any length of time. Recently, started feeling some numbness on longer rides and on the mtn bike. Changed to the SLR Flow with great success. Love it!

I'm concerned about the integrity of the seat with the cut out. Since I weigh about 300lb

Hey Bob,
Flipping through the specs it looks like this saddle has a 220 lbs rider limit.
Pretty much the most comfy saddle EVER!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm a big guy, 6'+ and 230# and have been riding a 145mm phenom for the last couple years. I wanted to try something different and got some advice from a bike fitter about trying this out and its great. From the first ride it was super comfy, whether I'm sitting more upright in a cruise to the trail or leaned over hammering away at race pace.
The giant slot down the center works wonders to relieve pressure and, as a side benefit, aid in cooling. But be careful when doing creek crossings in cold weather lol.
I know the cost may be prohibitive to some but for a high quality saddle that's also very light weight its hard to beat.

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship."
Millions of boomers watched the SS Minnow pull out of the harbor for that fateful three-hour tour each week. Most don't know that "tropic port" is actually in California's Newport Beach in Orange County, a location better known today as the OC.
Orange County boasts of being the "heart" of Southern California. Here visitors find the world-famous Disneyland Resort, Knott's Berry Farm, and 40 miles of coastline. In Newport Beach, whale-watching cruises offer glimpses of the giant blue whale, dolphin and other fascinating marine life. Orange County contains several notable shopping malls, including South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, the largest mall in California.
Orange County is the third most populous county in California, while at the same time is the smallest area-wise. The OC is known for its affluence and political conservatism, ranked in an academic study among America's 25 most conservative counties.
Many Fortune 500 companies are headquartered here, including Ingram Micro, First American Corporation and Pacific Life. Regional headquarters for international businesses in Orange County include Mazda, Mitsubishi and Hyundai. Food service companies such as Del Taco, Taco Bell and Marie Callender's have headquarters in the City of Irvine, as well. Tourism also remains a vital aspect of Orange County's economy; Disneyland is the second-most visited theme park in the entire world.
The county's proximity to Los Angeles entices many film and media celebrities to have homes here. John Wayne lived in Newport Beach; so did Richard Nixon and the Righteous Brothers, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. Steve Martin, Will Ferrell, Michelle Pfeiffer, Diane Keaton, Bonnie Raitt and Gwen Stefani also call Orange County home.

Beltran expected to make Giants debut vs. Phillies
Carlos Beltran, the most sought-after impact bat of this year's non-waiver Trade Deadline, will reportedly make his Giants debut in Thursday's series finale against the Phillies. San Francisco acquired Beltran on Wednesday from the Mets in exchange for No. 1 pitching prospect Zack Wheeler.
Beltran will play right field and immediately move into the middle of a lineup that sorely needed a bat.
"Our offense has been inconsistent and we need some help," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "There was a little sense of urgency to see if we could do something to help this offense get going."
Bochy said he's excited to add a player of Beltran's caliber.
"He's a complete player," Bochy said. "Carlos has all the tools that you look for in a player."
Trying to spoil Beltran's Giants debut and win the series for the Phillies is right-hander Kyle Kendrick. Five of Kendrick's last seven appearances have come as a starter, with him going 2-0 with a 3.21 ERA in that role.
Giants: Lincecum ready for action
The Giants announced Thursday morning that Tim Lincecum, sufficiently recovered from food poisoning, will start Thursday night's series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies.
If Lincecum is unable to go, right-hander Ryan Vogelsong likely will start. Vogelsong, one of the feel-good stories of the 2011 baseball season, was released by the Phillies on July 15 of last year.
Starter Matt Cain earned his first regular-season win against the Phillies on Wednesday. The right-hander entered the game 0-3 with a 6.23 ERA in five starts against Philadelphia. He now has beaten every NL team.
Phillies: Next to make a move?
With the Giants landing Beltran, it's the rest of baseball's turn to make a move, including the Phillies. Like the Giants, Philadelphia is looking to add an impact right-handed bat. The Phillies have been linked to Houston's Hunter Pence and White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin, but special assistant Pat Gillick admitted Wednesday the Phillies "might have to up the ante because there's one less guy out there."
While manager Charlie Manuel would like to add another piece, he said he would be OK if it doesn't happen.
"I feel very comfortable playing with what we've got in some ways," Manuel said. "We've been real, real fortunate in that we've plugged players in and they've helped us win. ... But at the same time, if we turn you loose and let you go, that would be the only way to tell how good you're going to be."
Chase Utley's inside-the-park home run Tuesday was the third of his career, tying him with Bobby Abreu, Carl Crawford, David DeJesus and Jimmy Rollins for the most among active players.
First baseman Ryan Howard has 10 or more career home runs against 11 of the 15 other NL teams, including the Giants.
Worth noting
Howard needs three hits to reach 1,000 for his career.
San Francisco's bullpen has posted a 0.59 second-half ERA.
The next home victory by a Phillies starter will be their 50th of the year at Citizens Bank Park.

I believe the above assumption opened our eyes to a new means of thinking out of the box, where it reflects a new ways that poverty could be fought, and not only as the assumption made by World Bank, that poverty should only fought in the LDMC countries. It may be true, theoretically, but may not be true on the ground, which is important and needs to be looked at seriously. I hope this article be read by all manager, executives, professionals working in the field of global poverty alleviation.
Therefore, it is essential for multilateral institutions like the World Bank (WB) the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), AfDB and the Asian DB (ADB) to look at this assumption seriously. The assumption is supported on the ground by what is happening in the Arab region, which is called the Arab Spring, which is a very clear picture supporting this assumption, where most, if not all these are middle-income countries.

previous: Organon aphorisms § 72 - 79 next: Organon aphorisms § 83 - 92
--- 80 Organon aphorism ---
[77] I spent twelve years in investigating the source of this incredibly large number of chronic affections, in ascertaining and collecting certain proofs of this great truth, which had remained unknown to all former or contemporary observers, and in discovering at the same time the principal (antipsoric) remedies, which collectively are nearly a match for this thousand-headed monster of disease in all its different developments and forms. I have published my observations on this subject in the book entitled THE CHRONIC DISEASES (4 vols., Dresden, Arnold. [2nd edit., Diisseldorf, Schaub.]) before I had obtained this knowledge I could only teach how to treat the whole number of chronic diseases as isolated, individual maladies, with those medicinal substances whose pure effects had been tested on healthy persons up to that period, so that every case .of chronic disease was treated by my disciples according to the group of symptoms it presented, just like an idiopathic disease, and it was often so far cured that sick mankind rejoiced at the extensive remedial treasures already amassed by the new healing art. How much greater cause is there now for rejoicing that the desired goal has been so much more nearly attained, inasmuch as the recently discovered and far more specific homceopathic remedies for chronic affections arising from psora (properly termed anti-psoric remedies) and the special instructions for their preparation and employment have been published; and from among them the true physician can now select for his curative agents those whose medicinal symptoms correspond in the most similar (homceopathic) manner to the chronic disease he has to cure; and thus, by the employment of (antipsoric) medicines more suitable for this miasm, he is enabled to render more essential service and almost invariably to effect a perfect cure.
--- 81 Organon aphorism ---
[78] Some of these causes that exercise a modifying influence on the transformation of psora into chronic diseases manifestly depend sometimes on the climate and the peculiar physical character of the place of abode, sometimes on the very great varieties in the physical and mental training of youth, both of which may have been neglected, delayed or carried to excess, or on their abuse in the business or conditions of life, in the matter of diet and regimen, passions, manners, habits and customs of various kinds.
[79] How many improper ambiguous names do not these works contain, under each of which are included excessively different morbid conditions, which often resemble each other in one single symptom only, as AGUE, JAUNDICE, DROPSY, CONSUMPTION, LEUCORRHOEA, HEMORRHOIDS, RHEUMATISM, APOPLEXY, CONVULSIONS, HYSTERIA, HYPOCHONDRIASIS, MELANCHOLIA, MANIA, QUINSY, PALSY, etc., which are represented as diseases of a fixed and unvarying character, and are treated, on account of their name, according to a determinate plan! How can the bestowal of such a name justify an identical medical treatment? And if the treatment is not always to be the same, why make use of an identical name which postulates an identity of treatment? "Nihil sane in artem medicam pestiferum magis unquam irrepsit malum, quam generalia qused-am nomina morbis imponere iisque aptare velle generalem quan-dam medicinam," says Huxham, a man as clear-sighted as he was estimable on account of his conscientiousness (OP. PHYS. MED., torn. i.). And in like manner Fritze laments (ANNALEN, i, p. 80) "that essentially different diseases are designated by the same name." Even those epidemic diseases, which undoubtedly may be propagated IN EVERY SEPARATE EPIDEMIC by a peculiar contagious principle which remains unknown to us, are designated, in the old school of medicine, by particular names, just as if they were well-known fixed diseases that invariably recurred under the same form, as HOSPITAL FEVER, GAOL FEVER, CAMP FEVER, PUTRID FEVER, BILIOUS FEVER, NERVOUS FEVER, MUCOUS FEVER, although each epidemic of such roving fevers exhibits itself at every occurrence as another, a NEW disease, such as it has never before appeared in exactly the same form, differing very much, in every instance, in its course, as well as in many of its most striking symptoms and its whole appearance. Each is so far dissimilar to all previous epidemics, whatever names they may bear, that it would be a dereliction of all logical accuracy in our ideas of things were we to give to these maladies, that differ so much among themselves, one of those names we meet with in pathological writings, and treat them all medicinally in conformity with this misused name. The candid Sydenham alone perceived this, when he (OBS. med., cap. ii, De morb. epid.) insists upon the necessity of not considering any epidemic disease as having occurred before and treating it in the same way as another, since all that occur successively, be they ever so numerous, differ from one another: "Nihil quicquam (opinor,) animum universse qua patet medicinae pomceria perlustrantem, tanta admiratione per-cellet, quam discolor ilia et sui plane dissimilis morborum Epidemicorum fades; non tam qua varias ejusdem anni tempes-tates, quam qua discrepantes diversorum ab invicem annorum constitutiones referunt, ab iisque dependent. Quas tam aperta prsedictorum morborum diversitas turn propriis ac sibi peculiar-ibus symptomatis, turn etiam medendi ratione, quam hi ab illis disparem prorsus sibi vendicant, satis illucescit. Ex quibus constat morbus hosce, ut ut externa quadantenus specie, et symptomatis aliquot utrisque pariter supervenientibus, convenire paulo incautioribus videantur, re tamen ipsa (si bene adverteris animum,) aliens admodum esse indolis, et distare ut aera lupinis."
From all this it is clear that these useless and misused names of diseases ought to have no influence on the practice of the true physician, who knows that he has to judge of and to cure diseases, not according to the similarity of the name of a single one of their symptoms, but according to the totality of the signs of the individual state of each particular patient, whose affection it is his duty carefully to investigate, but never to give a hypothetical guess at it.
If, however, it is deemed necessary sometimes to make use of names of diseases, in order, when talking about a patient to ordinary persons, to render ourselves intelligible in few words, we ought only to employ them as collective names, and tell them, E. G., the patient has A KIND of St. Vitus's dance, A KIND of dropsy, A KIND of typhus, A KIND of ague; but (in order to do away once for all with the mistaken notions these names give rise to) we should never say he has THE St. Vitus's dance, THE typhus, THE dropsy, THE ague, as there are certainly no diseases of these and similar names of fixed unvarying character.
--- 82 Organon aphorism ---
[80] Hence the following directions for investigating the symptoms are only partially applicable for acute diseases.

The Scoop on Snooping
At the end of the piece – which basically details a bunch of men who insist that they're wives don't have a clue what they're up to – we're advised that we shouldn't snoop because marriage is about trust. No checking his BlackBerry, his web history for visits to AshleyMadison.com...or even looking for lipstick stains on his collar.
Instead, we are advised to talk to our husbands if we have any niggling suspicions about their...extracurriculars.
Which is, of course, a Catch-22. We generally have those suspicions because they're acting...well...suspicious. Like men who are having an affair. Which, if we're right, isn't generally going to elicit a fit of honesty. If they're like the vast majority of men who are, in fact, cheating, they'll generally deny. Like the guy who, caught in bed with another woman, insisted, "It's not what you think it is." Depending on our approach to our potentially cheating spouses, their level of guilt and their basic personality, we'll get any of a number of responses.
Self-righteous indignation: "I can't believe you think I would do that. What type of man do you think I am?"
Gentle reassurance: "I love you, sweetie. You have nothing to worry about."
Paranoid: "Do you need to know everything about me? Can't you just trust me? Wow...you sure don't think much of me, do you?"
Deflecting: "I'm amazed you bring this up because I've been wondering about you. You seem pretty flirty with your co-worker, Steve."
What you likely won't get is, "yeah, in fact I have been thinking of having/am actually having an affair. I feel unappreciated and that life is passing me by and even though I know it's my own insecurity/mid-life crisis/insert-psychological-shortcoming-here, I think that having sex with someone and lying to you about it will distract me enough from own boredom/crises/fear of failure that I'm going to just go ahead and do it."
Ain't gonna happen.
And so...we snoop.
We check their Blackberry when they're not looking. We browse their Web history...or take note when it's wiped clean. We install keyloggers to monitor their online use (though beware, I think this is illegal without the person's consent). We slip recording devices beneath the seat of their car. We check VISA statements. We even follow them to see if they're going where they said they were...and with whom.
No, it's not pretty. And it's generally not our proudest moments.
But you likely wouldn't be reading this if your suspicions hadn't turned out to be true. I often remind readers that those gut feelings that something isn't right are worth paying attention to.
I never dreamed I would recommend snooping. I was one of those wives who thought it was pathetic. But then again, I was also one of those wives who never thought I'd be here.
Though it wasn't snooping that got me the truth, it certainly gave me a more complete picture of the affair than my husband initially gave.
And it just might give you the evidence you need to confront your husband...and know that his denial is total BS. And give you the information you need to protect yourself from STDs.
Snoop? I say that when you've got a gut feeling that won't go away and your husband won't give you a straight answer...yep.
What do you say?

hell yes. i wish i had snooped sooner, and not ignored my instincts. i might have saved months of wasted time, time feeling guilty that something was wrong with my marriage, that it was my fault, and wondering how to fix it. gut feelings are strange things. they can be spot-on, yet it doesn't even occur to you to believe them. relationship after shitty relationship, my instincts prove to be true.
ReplyDelete"yeah, in fact I have been thinking of having/am actually having an affair.

Seriously LOVE THIS BLOG for the writing and quotes like the one above. You nailed it and made me laugh. And, I really needed a laugh today -- so thanks!Positively, absolutely yes. "Snooping" has a bit of a negative implication. I call it self-protection, empowerment, and the only way I was ever able to gain a few more pieces of the puzzle. My WH is a compulsive LIAR. My discoveries and carefully considered revelations to him were the only way I got him to see that his outrageous denials and lies went beyond covering up an affair. They were a lifelong strategy for coping with his anxiety and depression. He finally had a breakthrough recognition and got the counseling he needed.
We seem to be in a much stronger and happier union now, and I am relieved knowing that it was NOT MY FAULT. I am and will forever be attuned to potential opportunities for "relapse". What some call snooping is a survival tool for me.- AnonymousJune 27, 2011 at 1:13 PM
If I hadn't snooped, my husband would likely still be having the affair which probably would have led to the death of our marriage. The whole "trust" thing is all very idealistic but when confronted, my husband just lied and lied and denied and denied until I had to shove the emails in his face. My snooping saved our marriage.
ReplyDelete Just found this blog. Love it. I am a betrayed wife after 36 years married. My husband also has been a life long liar and I should probably kick his ass to the curb but haven't. I need to snoop and will snoop because I swear this is his last chance. I need to put a recording device in his car and a gps any suggestions?
Wow. Thirty-six years?? I'm so, so sorry.
I'm no expert in surveillance/snooping as my husband crumbled within an hour of my confrontation. However, the folks over at survivinginfidelity.com have lots of great advice on voice-activated recorders and stuff like that. You have to register for the site...then you can post your question. People are really quick to respond. Sift through the advice and take what works.
Good luck...though I'm not sure what "luck" would look like in this situation. :(

Purchase Reason
I hung this over my bed and I love this. I got the giant sized one on canvas and it's really striking. The bright green is really calming and the quality is very good. Other people have commented on the one side of the photo that is not cropped perfectly. This print is so vibrant and bold that you will not notice those little corners once it's hung the wall. Your eye is going to go to the vibrant green colors not the tiny corners at the bottom.
Purchase Reason
I love this picture. It is vibrantly colored with great detail. However, when you look at the thumbnail on the website you can't really tell that there is background showing in a couple of places instead of just the plant. This does take away from the beauty of the picture. It seems that either Art.com could have cropped this photo better, or at least represent it better on their website.
Purchase Reason
I love it 'cause I have seen giant lobilias in East Africa. It's personal for me
Purchase Reason
I used this art work to create impact in a large white bathroom. Perfect for what i wanted. Attractive and lush green set off nicely in a silver frame. A simple effective statement. No negatives about this product and would recommend.
I love this photo. If you order it, find out if they can ship it flat. Mine came shipped in a tube, so the photo was rolled up when I received it. If it was shipped flat, then framing would have been easier.

Ketosis Essentials (40 servings)
Item# KET10
Introducing an Exciting Advance in Fat Burning
To lose weight, you need to stop storing fat and start burning it. My mini-fast with exercise, along with my Ketosis Essentials™, gives you an effective, simple way to reach and maintain a healthy weight. Ketosis Essentials is a sugar-free, fruit-flavored powder you mix with water—a nice break from pill-taking! The powder contains a combination of ingredients that help your body burn fat for energy and suppress your appetite for added support during fasting. And it all starts with hydroxycitric acid (HCA)...
Jump start your weight loss with the right dose of HCA
Ketosis Essentials—A $9.95 value
HCA, from Garcinia cambogia (a fruit also known as brindall berry), turns on fat burning enzymes in your liver, boosts production of ketones (fuel for your brain in the absence of sugar), and may inhibit the enzyme involved in the creation of fat. HCA also maintains normal blood sugar (even during fasting) to put the brakes on hunger. HCA enjoyed fleeting fame as the best appetite suppressant and weight loss supplement ever. But most HCA supplements fell short of the research level and didn't work. That's why I insisted on a hefty dose of 1,000 mg for my Ketosis Essentials, plus 50o mg of L-carnitine.
Speed up your fat metabolism and curb hunger
L-Carnitine, an amino acid, shuttles fatty acids into your cells' mitochondria to be burned for energy. Fasting increases L-carnitine activity, making fat metabolism more efficient. I also added chromium to my Ketosis Essentials for normal fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Plus, chromium promotes insulin sensitivity and the form I chose for Ketosis Essentials, chromium picolinate, helps reduce hunger and cravings. Ketosis Essentials also contains glycine to trigger the release of glucagon, a hormone that turns on fat burning in your liver.
Ketosis Essentials:
- Helps the body use fat for energy
- Stimulates fat-burning enzymes in the liver
- Balances your blood sugar and curbs hunger during fasting.
Ingredients & Dosage
Ketosis Essentials: 1 scoop gives you...
Chromium (as picolinate) | 200 mcg |
Glycine | 4 g |
Hydroxycitric Acid (from Garcinia Extract, fruit) | 1 g |
L-Carnitine (as fumarate) | 500 mg |
Other ingredients: Natural and artificial flavors, turmeric powder (for color), red beet powder (for color), stevia, silicon dioxide
Before exercising on the mini-fast, mix 1 scoop with 6 ounces of water and drink quickly to avoid settling. For additional support, a second dose may be taken after exercising.

Cubs turn to Hammel in bid for sweep of Cardinals
Lynn takes mound for St. Louis as rivals wrap up three-game series
Jason Hammel can only hope May is as kind to him as April was.
Hammel, who leads the Majors with a 0.69 WHIP, had a no-hitter through five innings en route to seven scoreless innings and a win in his last start against the Brewers. Not bad for a pitcher signed just days before Cubs pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training.
"I always want to be the stopper, and we all do," said Hammel, 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA. "It's something you think about. You want to be that guy who is dependable and you know what you're going to get every time out. Now that I'm healthy, and feel like I can execute when I want to."
Instead of being the stopper, Hammel will try to be the finisher as the Cubs go for their first sweep of the season when the Cubs and Cardinals meet for the series finale Sunday night.
The Cardinals will send righty Lance Lynn to the mound, who has struggled with high pitch counts. He needed 102 pitches to get through five innings while allowing three earned runs in his last start, a no-decision against the Brewers. Part of the high pitch count comes from a high number of strikeouts -- he strikes out 10.3 hitters per nine innings.
Pitching hasn't been the main problem for the Cardinals this season, though. Their inconsistent offense, on the other hand, has held them back. The Cards are hitting just .228 with runners in scoring position while averaging 3.5 runs per game.
"It's just comes down to creating some confidence," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "It's what it comes down to. It can be personnel, it can be how we go about playing and challenging and pushing. If there was an answer, we would have never waited this long."
Cubs: Sweeney to DL
Ryan Sweeney made a great catch Friday but the Cubs outfielder strained his right hamstring on the play, and had to be placed on the 15-day disabled list. The Cubs selected the contract of outfielder Chris Coghlan, the 2009 National League Rookie of the Year, from Triple-A Iowa.
Sweeney is the second outfielder to have a hamstring injury, joining Justin Ruggiano, who was placed on the DL on April 24 with a strained left hamstring. Both are expected to miss at least three weeks. Sweeney came up limping after chasing down Allen Craig's fly ball in the Cardinals' eighth on Friday. Sweeney caught the ball, but couldn't make the throw home and flipped it to left fielder Ryan Kalish.
Coghlan, 28, was in Spring Training as a non-roster invitee. A left-handed hitter, he was batting .243 (17-for-70) with five doubles, six RBIs, six stolen bases, 13 walks and a .379 on-base percentage in 24 games with Iowa.
"Any time you're in Triple-A, it was humbling," Coghlan said. "It's a grind. I'm grateful for the opportunity to play every day and get back here."
A career .270 big league hitter, Coghlan was limited to 70 games with the Marlins last year because of a right calf injury, and batted .256 (50-for-195).
"He's a guy we can use off the bench, he's a guy who can start in the outfield," manager Rick Renteria said of Coghlan. "He just continues to give us a little flexibility."
Cardinals: Home, sweet home around the corner
The Cardinals are nearing the end of a stretch in which they've played 20 of 26 games on the road. It's the most road games through the first 38 games of a season for the Cards since 1927.
Following Sunday's series finale with the Cubs, the Cardinals will travel to Atlanta and Pittsburgh for a pair of three-game sets before returning home to start a 10-game homestand that begins with a four-game series against the Cubs.
"We've still got two cities left on this trip for the second straight trip and we've got two straight Sunday night road games, so they didn't make it easy on us to start the season," Lynn said. "That's just part of being a team that likes to be on TV on road games. We have a tendency to get a lot of road Sunday night games, it's just part of it."
Worth noting
• With three singles in Saturday's game, Matt Adams recorded his NL-leading and Major League-tying 14th multi-hit game of the year. He's hitting .360 (32-for-89) in 23 games against NL Central opponents this year.
• Mark Ellis snapped an 0-for-9 skid with a pinch-hit single to left in the seventh on Saturday.
• Jhonny Peralta (2-for-4) posted his second consecutive multi-hit game on Saturday. He has now hit safely in seven of the past eight games, during which he is hitting .375 (12-for-32).
• Hector Rondon is 3-for-3 in save opportunities, and all three saves have come against the Cardinals.
• Anthony Rizzo has homered in three straight games for the first time in his career. He is batting .400 (20-for-50) in 15 games at Wrigley Field.
• Junior Lake will be disappointed to see the Cardinals leave town. He has gone 6-for-13 against them with two home runs and three RBIs.
