Men's Tennis Falls 5-4 in Tight Conference Match at Queens
March 31, 2010
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Pfeiffer University dropped a 5-4 Conference Carolinas mens tennis decision on Tuesday afternoon at Queens and the Ovens Athletic Center. The Royals held a 2-1 advantage after doubles proving crucial as each side won three singles matches. Queens improves to 7-3 overall, 3-3 in league play while Pfeiffer falls to 6-5, 1-3.
The first point of the day came in the first doubles position as the Falcons duo of Philip Lawson/Johan de Wit took an 8-3 win over Christiann Lee-Daigle/Raahil Dhruva. The Royals quickly bounced back with 8-5 and 9-8 wins in the second and third matches for the team lead heading into singles.
All six singles matches were in straight sets as the hosts took the first two matches over the Falcons Andrea Cazzaro and Philip Lawson 6-1, 6-0 and 7-6, 6-4. Pfeiffer scored points in the two middle positions as de Wit scored a 7-5, 6-1 win over Dhruva while Sid Kaushik went five and two over Alex McKenzie. Ryan Kerr, playing #5 singles, put on Falcon point on the board with a 6-2, 6-4 victory but Christopher Kennedy in the sixth spot defeated Michael Worthington 6-4, 6-3 for the final Royals point.

Super Committee: Take Automatic Cuts ... or Make a Deal?by Gerri Willis
Five days - that's how much time is left for 12 partisan lawmakers to reach a compromise. It could be five months - or five years - and the odds of a compromise would still be slim to none. But five days is what the Super Committee has - or these "automatic cuts" will be triggered. So what does that mean?
If the six Democrats and six Republicans fail to reach an agreement - we would see one point two trillion dollars in cuts. But that's over ten years. And they won't kick in until January 2013.
These cuts would also be put in place if Congress rejects the Super Committee plan or President Obama vetoes it. $984 billion dollars in cuts would be split between defense and non-defense programs. The other $20 billion will come in the form of lower interest payments on our 15 trillion dollar debt.
According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities - that's about $55 billion in both defense and non-defense spending each year through 2021.
Social Security benefits are exempt from the spending cuts - as are Medicare benefits, veteran's benefits, food stamps and a few other programs designed to help seniors and low-income americans. But not everything having to do with Medicare will be spared!
Payments to hospitals and other health-care providers will be reduced by two percent a year - these cuts will be coming just as obamacare really starts to kick in - so I'm sure doctors are loving this plan!
And regulatory agencies such as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission will see their budgets slashed - making it even more likely they will not catch major violations.
One of the biggest casualties of the automatic cuts though would be the military.
And as we've mentioned Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is warning of "doomsday" if the Super Committee fails to act! The Pentagon is already facing $450 billion in cuts over the next ten years. If these automatic cuts take place that would mean a 23 percent cut in the budget - in the first year alone!
By his calculations, Panetta says: "We would then have the smallest ground force since 1940, the smallest number of ships since 1915, and the smallest air force in history."
Not to mention possible months-long furloughs of civilian employees and a complete overhaul of our national security strategy. But Secretary Panetta shouldn't panic just yet - because there's a chance Congress might actually cave on these cuts.
Congress can take all of next year - an election year - to rescind or change any of these things.
Either way I'm not very optimistic any legitimate plan will emerge by 2013. Why? Because this is fourth group of people tasked with coming up with one. The National Commission of Fiscal Responsibility and Reform - headed by Bowles and Simpson - came up with a plan to cut four trillion dollars. That never went anywhere.
The Debt Reduction Task Force - with Pete Domenici and Alice Rivlin - wanted to cut six trillion dollars! That plan was dead on arrival. And the Gang of Six - the bi-partisan senators - had a three and a half trillion dollar plan that never happened.
This administration's approach to debt reduction is the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again - but the national debt is now above $15 trillion.
It's beyond time to stop playing political games and start taking our national debt seriously cause you know us taxpayers already are.

Well, here are a few things of what not to do. Don McMillan: Life After Death by PowerPoint
Don't put words on slides.
Put concepts on slides. Words might be a part of explaining the concept, but they are not the concept. Pictures, graphics, diagrams--things you can talk to.
Slides, like hand gestures, amplify the verbal communication of information. They are not a substitute for verbal communication. (Unless we're talking about off-line reading of slide decks, which is an entirely different use case, and in general hand out a different version of the slides than the one you speak to.)
Tufte's advice is to hand-out slides beforehand and only discuss questions during the meeting.
Hand draw your slides.
Presentation preparation - Jon Skeet: Coding Blog
It depends on the situation where you are making the presentation. I have a different answer for a meeting, a user group presentation, or a large technical conference.
For a meeting:
Prepare the deck in excruciating detail and send it out in advance. During the meeting show maybe 3 or 4 slides - maybe one laying out the problem, one with some really key graph or the like that shows the point you want to make, and one that indicates you've done your homework. Then convert the meeting to discussion. While people are discussing, where appropriate show a slide that corresponds to the topic they're discussing.
For a user group:
Plan lots of demos. Put the code from the demos on the slides because getting the slides is always easier than getting your code. Don't spend much time on the slides, focus on demo and on interactive conversation. As in the meeting, if someone asks a question and you have a slide in your appendix that answers it, flip to that slide to support what you're saying.
For a large technical conference:
You can't get interactive. So you will still have lots of demos, and have code on your slides, but you will also have bullet points. Expect they will use your deck to show their coworkers or bosses this new thing they want to try. Have diagrams.
It's easy to say "don't have bullet points, bullets kill haha" but for the circumstances where I need to give presentations, people want and expect bullets. They also want and expect you to serve a purpose way beyond saying the bullet points out loud and pausing for a response.
A technical presentation is still a presentation. And the following is a good presentation about how to make good presentations:
Among other things, the presentation above talks about the following:
More importantly, it subtly introduced the idea of simply having fun during a presentation. It's possible to educate and entertain people and have fun doing it: and doing that is actually easier than you think, especially with practice.
Keep the audience engaged. Asking questions to the audience is normally the most common option. Make sure you re-enforce your main point (or the items you want people to really remember) with something that is not on the screen. Either a story or real-life situation that you can evoke some sort of emotion so that it is not just all dull.
I believe it was Franklin Roosevelt who said something like this:
"If you want me to talk for 10 minutes, I need a week to prepare.
If you want me to talk for an hour, I need a day to prepare.
If you want me to talk all day I can start right now"
When it comes to powerpoint, there are a few things which I think are important (some of these are a little controversial):
Your goal if presenting is ultimately to be remembered. To be remembered you MUST be different to the rest of the pack. Breaks for tea and scones, exercises ("I want you to stop listening now and do XXX"), presentations full of silly pictures - these get remembered and avoid boredom.
If you want people to pay attention during presentations, hand out any materials after you're done. If you want to look at the tops of people's heads while they read your material and don't listen to you (say, if you're a bad public speaker or are unprepared) give them something to read when they walk in the door.
My most effective technical presentation had three slides: a title side, a diagram, and next steps. Over the ~30 minutes 25 were spent on the diagram. The next steps slide was only in there because of the culture of wanting a "call to action" at the end where action was being proposed.
In other words: use the slides to show things that are hard to say, say everything else.
Use but don't abuse of some sense of humor. If you dominate this art you can surely keep people interested.

Four days before Christmas in 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a 21-year-old pilot. Half his crew lay wounded or dead. It was their first mission. Suddenly a sleek, dark shape pulled up on the bomber's tail - a German Messerschmitt fighter. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber with the squeeze of a trigger. What happened next would defy imagination and later be called the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II.
This is the true story of the two pilots whose lives collided in the skies that day - the American - Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown, a former farm boy from West Virginia who came to captain a B-17 - and the German - Second Lieutenant Franz Stigler, a former airline pilot from Bavaria who sought to avoid fighting in World War II.
A Higher Call follows both Charlie and Franz's harrowing missions. Charlie would face takeoffs in English fog over the flaming wreckage of his buddies' planes, flak bursts so close they would light his cockpit, and packs of enemy fighters that would circle his plane like sharks. Franz would face sandstorms in the desert, a crash alone at sea, and the spectacle of one thousand bombers, each with eleven guns, waiting for his attack.
Ultimately, Charlie and Franz would stare across the frozen skies at one another. What happened between them, the American Eighth Air Force would later classify as top secret. It was an act that Franz could never mention without facing a firing squad. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for 40 years until, as old men, they would search for one another, a last mission that could change their lives forever.

"It is often said that 'war is hell' - and it is - however, this story reveals how the human spirit can shine in the darkest hours. A Higher Call is an eye-opener." (Col. Charles McGee, Tuskegee Airman, WWII)
"'Can good men be found on both sides of a bad war?' The author asks the question and delivers the answer. A powerful, haunting read." (Chuck Tatum, author of Red Blood, Black Sand)
"An Absolutely Incredcredible Audiobook!"
This audiobook is probably one of the very best I have ever listened to. In fact, I would go so far as to say this book is on a par with Laura Hildebrand's phenomenal book titled Unbroken.
A Higher Call is a true story about two WWII heroes - Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown, who is an Army Air Corps B-17 pilot, and Second Lieutenant Franz Stigler who is a Luftwaffe fighter pilot and one of Germany's most famous Aces.
The story is incredibly well researched and extremely well written, the narration is near perfection.
Listening to this book will be worth every minute of your time, the story and the experience will enrich your life.
If I could rate this book a 10, I would do it in a heartbeat.
"Proof the term "Hero" knows no borders"
This book is a perfect example of a wonderful story waiting to be told. In the hands of a skilled writer, the author disappears and the story stands on its own. Beautifully written and leads the listener courageously through some of the most harrowing moments of the air war.
It was easy to put myself in the position of both pilots and to understand their call to duty. Particularly interesting was the mental preparation each aviator went through before undertaking missions that would reasonably be expected to end in death. Hard to imagine doing so day after day.
The reunion of the aviators at the Boeing plant at the 50th anniversary of the B-17. The emotions shared by the survivors moved me greatly.
The book easily breaks into two or three listening sessions since the author approaches the story first from the German side, then from the American side, and finally to the reconnection and reconciliation of the two sides.
This was an unusual read for me. I am not a big fan of war stories. This story was epic in its display of courage, valor and honor. It was both inspiration and humbling.
"Absolutely superb! FIVE stars."
One of the best books that I have read. Fantastic story. Once I started listening to the audiobook it was hard to stop. My wife and teenage boys also loved the audiobook.
"The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why" Mark Twain
"Sometimes the truth is better than fiction..."
A Higher Call is one of those inspiring stories that makes you want to be a better person. World War II brought about some of the most unthinkable actions of pure evil mankind has ever seen - and yet amongst such atrocities, decency and valor and good will still shone through in the actions of men from both sides of the war. This is one of those stories.
This book brought tears to my eyes. And for a man's man who stinks at showing emotion like me - that's saying something. Phenomenal book.
I love WWII stories, and this is one of the best I have read. Even though I knew the thread of the story before I started the book, I was captivated as the story unfolded. My faith in humanity has been restored.
The reunion of these two pilots was truly a moving part of the book. It's disturbing that some people were bothered by this development.
Say something about yourself!
"I could not put it down"
Read it for yourself. I enjoyed discovering how this came to be told and then the people were unfolded. There were times when I felt like I was with them. It made me laugh and cry.
The aircraft called "the Pub" was just spell binding.
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"A Teutonic Knights' Honor"
This is the story of Franz Stigler, a German fighter pilot and Charlie Brown a B17 Eighth Air Force pilot. It is the fascinating story of how their lives intersected in December 1943 permanently altering their lives. I found this an emotional book with a similar effect on me as Laura Hildebrand's "Unbroken". It left me feeling good about people. Most of the book is about Franz Stilger's life as a child, young man and pilot commercial then military. He was a German ace and later flew the jet planes over Germany. It also covered the men of the B17 and then their hunt for each other after the war. I noted that long after the war the crew of the B17 "Ye Old Pub" received their metals- Brown, the Air Force flying Cross and the silver star for each of the crew making them the highest decorated B17 crew. Adam Makos is the editor of the military magazine Valor and came across this story during interviews with WWII pilots. He brought to life the story of a man, the air battles, the thrill of flying and the fear of living in Nazi Germany. I am sure glad he wrote the story as a book. Robertson Dean did a great job reading this book. This book is not only for us WWI and WWII history buff but for any teen or adult that is looking for a good story with moral value.
"Unusual, could not put it down, fantastic!"
WWII from an entirely different perspective. Enthralling read, perfect narration. The author's research is unbelievable. Makes one wonder if Makos has been contacted by Hollywood for a movie. I hope so on one hand, but on the other, screenplays quite often water down the content far too much and part of the joy of this book is the detail presented on a closely knit time-line. In any case, I acquired a much different perspective on German military sensibilities during that era as a result of this great history lesson.
"Excellent book. Thank you Adam Makos."
This book captures many aspects of a different time, which is slowly fading from our consciousness. It was thrilling to experience such a vivid picture of the air war.
I was particularly impressed by all of the information on what it was like to be a German, and a German pilot, during the war.
I hope someone does make a film. I would say that it is a story of two pilots whose path cross during the war, and again after the war.
"The "Enemy" is Just Like Us"
This was a fascinating recounting of the actions of a German ace pilot and his seemingly inexplicable actions in assisting a disabled American B-17 bomber piloted by a 21-year-old farmboy to return to England after a bombing run.
Meticulously researched, this true story weaves the lives of the "average men" doing their jobs in the time of war, men who are fighting for their families and their country and who recognized that the man in the other plane is a human being and one could respect the courage of the other.
Don't miss this if you are a fan of World War II History.

Album reviews: Pinback and Gov't Mule
New album: Information Retrieved
Artist: Pinback
Label: Temporary Residence
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
Rob Crow and Armistead Smith form the core of Pinback, a band that has quietly released some of the most consistent pop music of the last decade. Their latest album "Information Retrieved" is their first since 2007's much lauded "Autumn of the Seraphs."
Much of "Information Retrieved" falls somewhere between the emotional ambiguous melodies of the Beta Band and sparse musicality of early 1990's Cure. Crow and Smith are wise enough to never be caught singing to their belt buckles, but they'll never be accused of trying to out-party Buckcherry either. The area between woe and jubilation — cautious positivity — is the Pinback sweet spot.
Longtime fans of Pinback will immediately be drawn to the familiar landscapes of "Glide" and "Sherman" — both tracks easily classifiable as Pinback 101. On "Drawstring" and "Denslow, You Idiot!", the distortion-free guitar geometry of "Murmur"-era R.E.M. is in full effect. These songs are almost dance-able, at least in a dimly-lit coffee shop kind of way.
The somewhat restrained pulse of the songs on "Information Retrieved" do create a consistent mood, but at times it seems these songs are begging from someone to crank up an amp and sling a little tinnitus around. The uncluttered arrangement of "His Phase" is a welcome respite from the run-of-the-mill 28-guitar tracks on most modern rock songs, but just a pinch of testosterone in the right places may have shifted the song into a higher gear.
Pinback's strength lies in their consistency, which is at odds with what the music industry has turned into. These guys may never make a giant splash, but rather a well-defined ripple. Lady Gaga can have the pork chop corsets; Pinback are doing just fine with their cache of incredibly decent tunes.
Classic album: The Georgia Bootleg Box
Artist: Gov't Mule
Label: Evil Teen
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Gov't Mule started as a side project for Allman Brothers Warren Haynes and Allen Woody. Along with drummer Matt Abts, the Mule reinvented the idea of the rock power trio and went on to become a force in their own right. In 2000, Woody was found dead in a New York hotel room.
Gov't Mule carried on but their fans have been begging Haynes to release archived live shows featuring Woody. While every Mule show of the last few years is available for purchase, official live recordings featuring Woody were limited to only three. With the release of the six-disc "Georgia Bootleg Box" those rabid fans yearning for a shot of Woody have been granted their wish in spades.
Recorded at three separate Georgia venues in 1996 between April 11 and April 13, "The Georgia Bootleg Box" is a living testament to one of the greatest power trios of all time. Having made their bones as a live act at every dive between San Francisco and New York, the performances contained on these six discs are the auditory equivalent of a victory lap.
Anyone foolish enough to think Gov't Mule was a vanity project used to kill time between Allman Brothers projects was met with an onslaught of blues/jazz power that made most metal bands sound like Liberace.
Anyone who knows anything about Warren Haynes knows the man is all about guest appearances, and while these performances are graced by some of the best (Derek Trucks, Tinsley Ellis), the members of Gov't Mule are the stars here. On "The Birth of the Mule," Abts allows the epic jamming to teeter between the precision of King Crimson and exploratory nature of John Coltrane's best work. The Mule even wrote a song called "Trane" that appears — okay, detonates — on this box set.
It's bittersweet listening to the interplay of Warren Haynes and Allen Woody on "Temporary Saint" and "Thelonious Beck." Woody played the bass as if it were a lead instrument, and matched with the world renowned guitar abilities of Haynes, power and virtuosity of the "Live at Leeds" variety was pumped out every night as if it were a routine occurrence. If all of that weren't enough, Haynes powerful blues-wail conjures the ghosts of everyone from Willie Johnston to Howlin' Wolf.
Many lazy writers to this day tag Gov't Mule as a "southern rock" band, which coming from their quills is probably a backhanded compliment. Gov't Mule's membership may emanate from the south, but their music is no more southern than their power-trio predecessors Cream or Mountain. Anyone yearning for the days when a bunch of guys with faces for radio let their talent do the talking should buy "The Georgia Bootleg Box" immediately.

* Amid cheering crowd, BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today walked out to vote for party patriarch LK Advani in Gandhinagar. Advani, a sitting MP from Gandhinagar, is contesting against Congress leader Kirtibhai Ishvarbhai Patel. After casting his vote, Modi addressed the crowd. "Today Gujarat is voting. Other states are voting too. Elections are a festival of democracy," he said. "Everyone must join this festival of democracy and strengthen it."
He also apologised to people of Gujarat. "This time I've barely given two days and about 18 hours. But still people took campaign in their hands," he said.
"Don't forget Nirbhaya," he said. "Dont forget unemployed youth. Dont forget farmers committing suicide. Dont forget how our soldiers were beheaded. Congress has accepted defeat the way they're giving statements of aligning with Third Front etc."
Ahead of the elections, he had tweeted:

Battleground states:
The whole of Gujarat and Punjab goes to polls in the seventh phase of Lok Sabha elections along with some seats in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar that will decide the fate of top guns including Narendra Modi, Sonia Gandhi, LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi.
Telangana, the new state-to-be, will also elect its first assembly along with representatives to Parliament when elections will be held in 119 Assembly constituencies and 17 Lok Sabha seats in that part of Andhra Pradesh. Tomorrow, a total of 13.83 crore voters have the right to vote in the polls in seven states and two union territories that will in all elect 89 MPs. Elections are already over in 349 constituencies in the first six phases.
Yet again, Congress and BJP have big stakes in today's elections with 35 and 23 seats in their bag respectively which were won in the last elections. Stakes are also high for the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab which has four seats and is locked in a bitter contest with Congress. TRS, which spearheaded the campaign for Telangana state, and Congress, whose government at the Centre cleared the new state proposal, are said to be involved in a hard-fought contest over credit for the new state. TRS has two Lok Sabha seats while TDP has two from the region.
JD (U) and Trinamool Congress have five seats each in the constituencies going to polls tomorrow, while CPI (M) has four.
Modi is seeking to make his debut in Lok Sabha by contesting from Vadodara, which is among the 26 seats in Gujarat going to polls in a single phase tomorrow. He is pitted against Madhusudan Mistry of Congress. Modi is also contesting from Varanasi where he is pitted against AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and Congress' Ajay Rai. The Varanasi seat in eastern Uttar Pradesh will go to polls in the last phase on May 12. BJP veteran LK Advani is seeking re-election from Gandhinagar in Gujarat.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi is seeking re-election from Rae Bareli, BJP President Rajnath Singh is contesting from Lucknow, once represented by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Lok Sabha. He is a sitting MP from Ghaziabad.
Singh is pitted against former UP Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi and AAP's Javed Jaffrey.

Shifted from Varanasi, senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi is contesting from Kanpur where Union minister and Congress leader Sriprakash Jaiswal is fighting to retain his turf. Along with Gujarat, Punjab will also witness polling in a single phase tomorrow with Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and BJP leader Arun Jaitley pitted against former state Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in the keenly fought electoral battle in Amritsar.
Jaitley is fighting his maiden Lok Sabha polls and a victory is likely to propel him to a position of power if the NDA forms the government, while Amarinder's win will revive his political fortunes and he will again emerge as the key Congress leader in the state which has 13 Lok Sabha constituencies.

Punjab will also witness a contest between SAD's Harsimrat Kaur with her brother-in-law Manpreet Badal (Congress) in Bhatinda.

Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur is seeking another term in Lok Sabha from Patiala.

In Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar is the sole constituency that will go for poll tomorrow. National Conference chief and Union minister Farooq Abdullah is seeking re-election from the seat which has seen a poor voter turnout in the past due to militancy. The Union Minister is pitted against 11 others, the most formidable among them being former state Finance Minister and PDP leader Tariq Hameed Karra.
In Bihar, seven constituencies are going to polls tomorrow in the fourth of the six-phase Lok Sabha election in the state. Prominent among the candidates are JD(U) president Sharad Yadav from Madhepura, being challenged by RJD's Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, and cricketer-turned BJP leader Kirti Azad from Darbhanga and his challenger former Union minister and RJD leader MAA Fatmi.
In West Bengal, 87 contestants will fight it out in nine constituencies that are going to polls tomorrow in the third of the five-phase Lok Sabha election in the state. Among the candidates are BJP's Bappi Lahiri, journalist-turned politician Chandan Mitra and actor George Baker, who carry the hopes of the party leadership to score big for the first time in the state.
ALSO READ: 9 constituencies of West Bengal go to polls in the 7th phase of Lok Sabha elections
While most poll analysts rule out BJP's outright win in any of the nine seats, they all agree that it may increase its vote share. Among Trinamool Congress candidates are sitting MPs Satabdi Roy, Kalyan Banerjee and Sultan Ahmed besides Prasun Banerjee, a former India soccer player.
In the Telangana region of so far undivided Andhra Pradesh, Congress, Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) and Telugu Desam-Bharatiya Janata Party combine are the main contenders for power in what will be the 29th state of Indian Union. The new state will come into being on June 2, its 'appointed' date. The general elections will be a close contest between the TRS and the Congress while the TDP-BJP combine is also expected to make certain gains.
ALSO READ: 7 key constituencies for 7th phase of Lok Sabha polls in the Telangana region
More than anyone else, the elections are highly critical for the TRS as it will be a "now-or-never" chance for it to realise its ultimate target of achieving power in the new state.
Prominent among those seeking election to Lok Sabha are Union Minister S Jaipal Reddy, TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, Lok Satta Party president N Jayaprakash Narayan and Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. The TRS head, whose ultimate dream is becoming the first Chief Minister of Telangana state, is also contesting the Assembly election from Gajwel.

In the Union Territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, BJP is making all out efforts to retain the two seats.
According to the Election Commission, the national aggregate of turnout for the six phases held so far is 66% as against 57.53% for the same constituencies in 2009 Lok Sabha elections. So far, a total of 35 crore voters have cast their votes in the 349 constituencies which have gone to polls.

The Night Owl
Tonight was a night of confessions, house meetings, love fests, and fights. After the feeds came back from trivia earlier tonight, we learned pretty quickly that Kaitlin and Aaryn had been nominated. Neither of them are the target (that's Jeremy), but Helen and her alliance (the rest of the house minus Spencer and Howard) wanted to put them up just in case Jeremy wins veto so that they can send Aaryn home in a worst case scenario situation.
After nominations, the confessions began. I don't remember who was first, but at some point each member of the alliance formerly known as The Moving Company spilled their guts to the various members of the house. Most had already told Helen before nominations (Howard being the only exception) but Spencer and Howard felt the need to hold a meeting in HOH minus BlondeTourage and Amanda and McCrae. They confessed their actions in the MC and also left a lot of things out. They blamed asome things on members not present (Nick and Jeremy) and it ended in a "Kumbaya let's all hold hands and be good people" love fest. Am I watching Big Brother? Because I feel like this is turning into something completely different. Spencer claimed that the reason he voted out Nick was because his family would not like him being in an alliance with people "who make offensive comments and slurs against women". I assume he was talking about Jeremy, but the irony in that of course is that Spencer himself is currently on unpaid leave from his job due to the offensive comments he himself has said about women in the house.
Helen cried at least 15 times during the course of the day and night, but when Spencer and Howard gave their speeches, she and Andy decided to turn it on extra thick. She cried and she lectured about people lying. She talked about how they had to make sure the "good people" win the game and that the "evil people" don't. I seriously can't with Helen. I wanted to like her, but I just can't. She has a terrible case of HOH-itis and victim syndrome rolled into one making her a gigantic pain in the ass. Andy decided it would be better for his game to pretend that he is still mad at Spencer and splash water on his face to pretend he was crying. What that actually has to do with game play I have NO idea. I think he was just really hoping they would call him to the DR to talk about it. I personally hope they DO start calling him in more so I can have a break from his constant feed bombing all over the place.
Amanda and McCrae decided that when Elissa got her MVP notification (since everyone knew it would be her) they wanted her to put up Howard so the he could either win veto and they could BD Jeremy, or they could send Howard home if Jeremy got to play in veto and won. Amanda is all about getting Howard out because she knows that he does not trust her and would like to see her leave.
After Elissa got her MVP confirmation, she told McCrae. McCrae told her he would take the heat and tell everyone that he got MVP (WHAT?!). Why he would want to put an extra target on his back bigger than Amanda already is, I have no idea..but whatever..it's what he did.
Amanda still feeling confident that she could control everything including the MVP nomination decided to start a fight with Candice about Howard going up on the block because Candice had pleaded with Elissa and Helen and McCrae to please keep Howard off the block and put up Spencer instead. She has grown close with Howard and told Amanda that she would feel the same way about someone wanting to put McCrae up. Amanda refused to see the reason in this and she and Candice ended on bad terms with Candice going downstairs angry.
Amanda THEN decided it would be a good idea to fight with Howard when he was pulled upstairs to talk with McCrae to talk about being put up as the MVP nomination. Howard was okay with going up and kept trying to apologize and squash things with Amanda, but as usual she kept beating a dead horse and wouldn't let it go. She kept telling him she wanted an apology from him for "bullying" her (since when is wanting someone out considered bullying?!) and Howard kept telling her that he WAS sorry for wanting her out etc.. Eventually they just stopped fighting about the same ridiculous things that happened last week and Howard went downstairs.
Then, Elissa was called to the DR to make her MVP nomination. When she returned upstairs Amanda and Helen were in the room and Elissa told Amanda that she didn't get MVP. Amanda called her a liar and they started arguing about it. Finally it came out that Elissa did have MVP but that she did not feel right nominating Howard and had nominated Spencer instead with the target still being Jeremy. Her nomination could very well be due to production interference because Helen mentioned at least 3 times tonight that the DR did not want Howard nominated and then the feeds immediately cut to fish each time. Once Amanda learned that Elissa had nominated Spencer and not Howard, she went off and started her third fight of the night. She said she didn't understand "how Elissa could fuck them that way" and that it wasn't fair that when they protect her she would go against them and make a different nomination. Elissa said she didn't understand why it would matter if it was Howard or Spencer on the block if Jeremy was the intended Target. Ellissa then went on to yell at everyone in the room about how they use her and get information from her and get her to nominate people for them, but they don't ever clue her in on what THEY are doing or what THEIR alliance is thinking or who THEY are going to nominate. The fight really didn't come to a solid conclusion, it just ended with Amanda storming downstairs with McCrae in tow so they could talk about how stupid Elissa is for going against them. While I'm not surprised and saw this coming from a mile away from the time Amanda started trying to save Elissa to control her, I will grant Amanda the fact that Elissa knows NOTHING about how the game or nominations work. She makes very stupid decisions about it (like putting Jeremy straight on the block knowing he will likely win veto) unless Helen is in her ear telling her exactly what to do. So really, both sides of the argument were kind of ridiculous.
Meanwhile, Spencer had a really long chat with Judd explaining to him how much he liked him and still wanted to be in an alliance with him. he told him that everything he had told him in the last week as far as liking him and game play had been true with the exception of not outing the MC to him until today. Judd asked him a lot of questions about the various members and Spencer told him (and told the HOH crowd earlier) about Nick's real job and going to Yale etc.. Judd was happy that he was right the first week about Nick, Spencer, Howard, and Jeremy being in an alliance. He had been paranoid about it when he caught some of them talking late at night and was excited that his suspicions turned out to be true.
When Spencer was done talking to Judd, McCrae did damage control about the MVP nomination. Since he had already told Howard that HE was MVP and that Howard was going up, he pulled Howard into the cockpit and spoke to him about not putting him up. He got him to swear on the Bible about not coming after them etc.. and then ended it. He then pulled Spencer in to talk to him about going up (since Elissa had actually already nominated him). Spencer told him he did not mind being nominated and would take his punishment, but that he would like to not be on the outside of the alliance. They both talked about how the reason the MC did not work was because of Jeremy being such an asshole and being cocky and paranoid. They said they both liked Nick, but that they had to stop the alliance because they could no longer be associated with Jeremy. After their talk, Spencer went to bed.
Meanwhile, up in the HOH room, Elissa, Helen, and Judd were having a talk about what happened with Amanda. Elissa started crying and saying she wanted to self evict again, but none of us are actually that lucky, and I'm pretty sure production would handcuff her to the have not room if she even TRIED to leave. Judd and Helen both told Elissa not to let Amanda push her around because MVP is hers and it's her decision as to who goes up no matter who it is. Later when Elissa and Helen went to bed in HOH, they both discussed having to turn on people who had protected her implying Amanda and McCrae.
At some point when all these other things were happening, GinaMarie still dressed in Nick's hat and carrying around his coffee mug and chapstick, was told the truth about the MC alliance and who he really was via Helen. Helen was nice to her about it and they had a good laugh. GinaMarie decided that she does not necessarily believe Nick skates because he did not comment on her "skate shoes". *Head Desk*. After her chat with Helen, GM was called to DR (I'm assuming to talk about what she just learned). When she got out, Amanda decided to tell her "no one wants to hurt your feelings by telling you the truth, but Nick was saying he needed to get rid of you right away because you are so annoying". GinaMarie let that soak in for a minute and then laughed it off. She asked around a bit if it was true and people confirmed it. She responded by saying she still has feelings for him and will continue to wear his hat and see what happens at the finale. Again, I can't make this stuff up. She is REALLY like this. According to Judd, she now sleeps with the coffee mug that Nick drank out of. I'm thinking the only thing GM might win out of this season is a straight jacket and a ride to the asylum.
Amanda had a long chat with Aaryn telling her that she was in a good position because everyone wants Jeremy out. Aaryn told Amanda that Kaitlin said that if Jeremy goes this week she is just going to self evict after him because she doesn't want to be there anymore. Aaryn asked why she is the bigger threat than Kaitlin and Amanda told her that it was because she is stronger and could win HOH. Aaryn countered that by saying "yeah, but I don't have any votes on my side and even if I won HOH all I could do is nominate whoever the house wanted out. People should just be using me as a tool".
After that chat, pretty much everyone went to bed except for McCrae and Amanda who laid downstairs a while longer alternating kissing and talking about how "stupid" everyone is who isn't going along with their plan. They then went to bed too.
The HGs have been on lockdown all night, so Veto should be played sometime this morning, and that will seal the fate of either Jeremy, Aaryn, or Spencer. As always you can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight updates. Until tomorrow night...

[quote author="waltercat"]And, as someone who understands the strength of the Euthyphro Dilemma, I think you will agree with me that the most common understanding of the relationship between God and ethics is deeply flawed.
I teach my students the Euthyphro Dilemma as well as several atheistic (and theistic) moral theories, and I think that by the end of the semester, they understand that it is an unfair criticism of Atheism to claim that it has no way to account for objective morality.
I didn't have any philosophy courses in college, or else I might have known that the point I was trying to make in my post at 12:10 had already been made by Socrates and Plato.
Waltercat, would a solution to the dilemma simply be the contemplation of morality outside of any theistic framework?

PINK HILL — With the concern of educational issues building up, two state representatives wanted to give an outlet for some Lenoir County school officials to voice their opinions.
On Wednesday, N.C. Sen. Louis Pate, R-Wayne, and N.C. Rep. John Bell, R-Wayne — along with Lenoir County Commissioner J. Mac Daughety — spoke with teachers at Pink Hill Elementary School, allowing them to have an unbiased forum in which to speak to legislators in hope of change.
Daughety said the plans to have the meeting derived from another meeting about a month ago with teachers — although that one was more for accolades.
"It was rooted in our Teacher of the Year interviews," Daughety said. "We did one interview with a teacher who said 'I wish a member of the state legislature could spend a day with me, see the problems I deal with and work with it.'
"When that day was over, I called (Bell) and asked if he would eat lunch, sit in on some of the classes and have a roundtable discussion with the teachers. During that time, I ran into Sen. Pate, who wanted to participate."
Pate was there for the meeting, but wasn't able to spend time in the classes due to schedule restraints. Bell and Daughety, however, spent most of the day at the elementary school.
"My whole objective of going down there was to listen and learn," Bell said. "I wanted to see not only the administration, but the kindergarten to fifth-grade classrooms, to see what teachers went through and see how they go about their day. I wanted to get feedback to take to Raleigh and make the education system sharper."
Lenoir County Superintendent Stephen Mazingo was a catalyst in setting up the meeting.
"(Daughety) called me after a conversation with Bell and said he wanted to come observe, talk to teachers and principals and have informal conversation," Mazingo said. "I approved him to come and visit, as I would anyone who wants to come and holds a position such as his. I asked for teachers to attend, so I arranged for two from high schools and two from middle schools around the area.
"I also asked for Ms. Francis Herring from Contentnea-Savannah, our K-8 school to come and several teachers from Pink Hill and the principal from Pink Hill Elementary."
Although Mazingo helped set things up, he declined participation in the forum.
"We talked about meeting prior to, and the desire was to have an informal and honest discussion between principals, teachers and legislature," Mazingo said. "I said I didn't want to be a part of it, because I felt I would change the conversation. I wanted to accommodate (Bell)."
Herring said the meeting went great and it showed her how important Bell and Pate took education.
"It was truly an honest and heartfelt meeting and a sincere extension of our representatives to really get our honest feedback about what's going on in Raleigh and how it's impacting education," Herring said. "They were truly sincere and wanted to hear our concerns. We were very appreciative to have the opportunity to be heard. It was very refreshing."
Herring said major concerns were expressed in the meeting.
"There was a lot of concern about Master's pay being cut, and that conversation will be revisited," she said. "There was also a lot of concern of pressure and demand of first, second and third-year teachers and how hard it is to retain teachers. Fabulous educators come to work and get so bogged down with legislation and paperwork, so we talked about teacher retention."
Overall, Bell said there was plenty he could take back to the General Assembly from the meeting.
"I learned a lot today," Bell said. "We are very blessed to have some outstanding teachers in Lenoir County who work long hours and work really hard for the students in our county. We're truly blessed to have them, and we want to do everything we can, not only to keep teachers, but create an environment where they're appreciated and respected for the hard work they do each day."

VPS Hosting with Free SSDs
InMotion Hosting offers powerful virtual private server hosting with free SSDs that gives customers a scalable, flexible and reliable option with generous amounts of RAM, storage and bandwidth. Our secure VPS hosting packages are the perfect and affordable choice for growing businesses and dynamic, interactive websites.
The Benefits of Solid State Drives
InMotion Hosting's Virtual Private Servers are now using Solid State Drives (SSDs), a type of hard drive that uses no mechanical parts and provides substantial performance upgrades from traditional spinning drives. Solid State Drives give you faster read/write speeds, can handle more disk requests and can push through significantly more data than a standard Hard Disk Drive (HDD).
During testing on our best-in-class servers, we found:
- SSDs perform about 20 times faster than HDDs
- SSDs were able to push through about 65% more data from the server
- During times of high I/O requests, these data numbers rose to approximately 95% when compared to HDDs
Bottom line: the SSD upgrade to Virtual Private Server hosting plans means improved performance, increased uptime and lower power needs.

Only Natural Pet Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil provides levels of both omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) not commonly found in pet foods. This pure oil is made only from wild, non-farmed Alaskan salmon and stabilized with natural antioxidants to maintain its fatty acid content and taste.
The important EPA and DHA Omega-3 essential fatty acids are plentiful in salmon oil. And unlike plant-based Omega-3 products (such as flax seed), fish oil is readily processed by the digestive system, resulting in more available essential fatty acids per serving. A daily dose of salmon oil is a must for any dog or cat with skin or coat issues, including those caused by allergies - but it will make a noticeable improvement in the coat of any animal, young or old.
Benefits of the naturally occurring EFAs in Salmon Oil include

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil:
I gave this product 4 paws only because I have to get a 1/4 tsp. measuring spoon out every morning to get the correct amount to put in my cat's wet food. Wish there was a way to know when you squeeze the bottle whether it was the correct amount. I only use the recommended dose since it really works well on her coat doesn't give her an upset tummy, and my cat seems to never have a hairball issue now. Other than the measuring process I love this stuff and my cat seems to love it, too!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Loved the bottle spout/cap. It squirts the liquid nicely with no mess- no oil anywhere escept where it should be. Other caps run the oil down the rest of the bottle when shut. This makes a HUGE difference!

Works Very Well
By A.B.
from Los Angeles
I was very pleased with how well and how quickly the Salmon Oil worked. After about a week and a half, I noticed my cats' coats getting shinier. I had to bathe my dog first before noticing a difference. He was a bit filthy. One of my older cats became much more active after two weeks as well. I had tried Hemp Oil before, but it had zero effect on my pets. Glad I tried this Salmon Oil. I will be reordering.

In my latest column I discuss a Native American tribe that was issued a permit to kill two bald eagles for use in religious ceremonies.
I aim to convey a simple lesson, that is, we ARE NOT required to respect the beliefs of other human beings. We are required to respect the RIGHT of a human being to maintain his or her own set of beliefs. This is an important distinction. Let me know what you think (especially of the last paragraph in my column).

BAYBORO – Amazing will and vigor was shown Tuesday by both teams in Pamlico's 85-71 victory over Jones Senior.
The Hurricanes maximized one huge advantage they had on the Trojans – height.
Pamlico out-rebounded Jones Senior 48-29, owning the paint.
Josiah Simmons paced the Canes with 24 points and 11 rebounds despite playing the entire fourth quarter saddled with four fouls.
"Hustling, that's how we did it," Simmons said.
"This (Jones) is our rival and I wanted to do anything I could to help my team get this win tonight."
It is unknown if Arthur Randall's favorite number actually is 17 – but it was Tuesday.
The Hurricane big man recorded 17 points and 17 rebounds.
"Coach Sadler gave me the start tonight, so I knew I had to come out and play big against our rivals," Randall said.
"We beat them in overtime at their house, and to blow them out here is big. We came out with an edge and really wanted this one."
Jermicus Brown added 16 points and eight boards, while point guard Cameron Moore poured in 15.
Jones Senior got a tremendous effort from guard Miguel Foy, who scored 28 points, and passed the 1,000-point mark for his career.
Rhysante' Ellis and K.D. McCall were also in double-figures with 15 and 14 respectively.
"It was just pure-t effort tonight by us. It was Pamlico basketball," Pamlico coach Earl Sadler said.
"Our motto is to play hard, play well and have fun. We did all of those tonight and it was unselfish basketball and that's what put them away in the end."
Pamlico improves to 10-10 on the year and 5-4 in the Coastal Plains Conference, with one game remaining at Southwest Onslow.
Jones Senior (7-13, 3-6) concludes its campaign Friday at home against conference leader East Carteret.
Hurricane girls topple Trojans
Pamlico's girls battled through the "three Fs" to knock off Jones Senior Tuesday – fouls, frustration and Franlena, as in Jones Senior's Franlena Brimage.
The talented Trojan freshman scored 26 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in a losing effort.
Pamlico rolled to victory, 63-46, due to an efficient second half.
"We knew about Brimage and we talked about her, but I think we thought she would come out shooting and were a little surprised by her driving to the basket like she did," Pamlico coach April Rose said.
"I thought the second half went much better in our favor. Alazia (Whitfield) and Laichelle (Sparrow) picked up three fouls in the first half and they did a good job playing with that foul trouble early in the second half."
Whitfield led the Hurricanes with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
Bri Jones added 12 points, and Kenya Midgette scored 11.
"We just played smart tonight and kept attacking the basket and didn't let the fouls get us too upset," Whitfield said.
"We were wiser on defense in the second half. If we fouled them, we wanted to foul them hard, but otherwise, just go straight up."
A total of 48 fouls were whistled in the game.
The Hurricanes went 14-32 from the foul line and Jones Senior shot 22-41.
Pamlico (13-5, 7-2) finishes against Southwest Onslow, while the Trojans (4-16, 0-9) host East Carteret Friday.
