About Nothing
The invented Seinfeld winter holiday Festivus, like the late Christopher Hitchens, demands a religion-like dogma around nonbelief
There is no more satisfying cri de coeur for an atheist than to expose a person of faith as a charlatan.
I was getting ready to sink into a column about the "Festivus" episode of Seinfeld—in which Jerry and the gang observe a holiday invented by George's father and dedicated to celebrating all that is contentious and irking about the holiday season—to illustrate this theme when the Net started humming with news of Christopher Hitchens' death, and I was moved to liberally pour myself a glass of rye whiskey and toast the deceased. Like so many of Hitchens' eulogizers, I mumbled to myself that while I disagreed with many of his convictions, his uncommon ability to use his intellect as a scalpel rather than a hammer when arguing a point, to paraphrase Harry Shearer, made him worthy of begrudging respect.
I downed the rest of my drink, poured myself another, and watched as Jerry Seinfeld and the gang reveled in the Spartan holiday of Festivus and its fabricated traditions—the aluminum pole, the feats of strength, the airing of grievances. But the mind wandered back to Hitchens; seeking distraction, I reached for my copy of his atheist writ, God Is Not Great. Here, to choose but one passage at random, is what it has to say about religion's metaphysical claims: "One must state it plainly. Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge."
It wasn't just the assertion that the educated and evolved mind had no recourse but to abandon faith and seek instead some steelier view of life that made me angry. Nor was it just the personal slight I felt as someone who, without reservations or remorse, worships a mighty god. These are both rational arguments, and they had little to do with the fury frolicking in my gut; what provoked my demons to dance was the realization—by no means new, but startling each time—that Hitchens' bluster was itself every bit as dogmatic.
Consider, for example, his now-famous televised tirade on the occasion of Jerry Falwell's passing: The accent is Balliol, the cadence is measured, but the rhetoric is timeless American fire and brimstone. Squint your eyes just so, and it's easy enough to imagine that Hitchens is seated not in Anderson Cooper's studio but in a tent revival somewhere, warning sinners of the wrath of the vengeful god of reason.
Hitchens, of course, isn't the first atheist to embrace the absence of divinity as an article of faith. As today marks the first night of the Festival of Lights, let us get into the holiday spirit with a Hanukkah-themed poem, titled "We Are Carrying Torches." Written in the early 1930s by Aharon Ze'ev—a poet who would eventually become the Israel Defense Forces' first chief education officer—the poem riffs on the holiday's miraculous mythology to make a stark statement against faith. "No miracle happened to us, we found no can of oil," it reads. "We quarried the rock until we bled. Let there be light!"
The subtext isn't hard to decipher. A proud Zionist and nonbeliever, Ze'ev believed it was men, not God, who charted the course of human events. The Jewish state shares his sentiment—the poem, set to music, is sung each year in the official national ceremony celebrating Israel's Independence Day. And yet, like Hitchens' protestations, Ze'ev's poem, too, is just another gospel—the only language Ze'ev had to assert man's existential freedom is the language of that good old religion and the imagery of Hanukkah. The Marxist Zionist atheist Ber Borochov followed a similar path when he denounced God but did so appropriating the Haggadah and celebrating its Wicked Son as a paragon of secular skepticism.
Seinfeld pulls off a similar trick. Just as atheism is really religion in darker shades, the show about nothing is really a show about something grim. Nowhere is this more evident than in the "Festivus" episode, which begins with the Hanukkah party of a dentist who converted to Judaism for the jokes, proceeds with a scheme to replace holiday gifts with contributions to fictitious charities, and ends with the dour holiday for the rest of us. That all these plot lines are concerned with religion is not accidental. Seinfeld's Manhattan is far from a cosmopolitan playground: It is a little island crammed with nasty little people who wave their empty pieties around like pointy sticks, eager to injure each other.
Like Hitchens and the early Zionists, Seinfeld, too, took pride in its wit and irreverence in exposing the fraudulent fools who hide behind religion's tall walls. Hitchens had Falwell; Jerry has Tim Whatley, the dentist whose reasoning for converting to Judaism is dubious and whose gift-giving practices are Madoff-esque. That Falwell and Whatley were indeed charlatans—I fully subscribe to Hitchens' assessment of the man who blamed Sept. 11 on gays and the ACLU—matters little. What matters is what we're left with after the laugh track dies down. And what we're left with is Festivus.
Now a burgeoning holiday—House Minority Leader Eric Cantor celebrates it with a fundraiser, and former Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle placed an aluminum pole in the executive mansion—Festivus is the apex of a particular brand of secular humanism that replicated the structures of religion but replaced magic with mirth and called it a triumph of the enlightened spirit. G.K. Chesterton—according to Ian McEwan, the subject of Hitchens' last piece—warned against such phenomena when he railed in his Orthodoxy against the modern intellectual urge to convert the stirrings and mysteries of religion into easy sentiments, jokes, or clichés. He would surely have been appalled to see "tikkun olam," say, turn from a specifically theological tenet to a worn-out catchphrase, indistinguishable from any other sort of feel-good charity and, without its divine underpinnings, meaningless. And he would, most likely, have been dismayed to see the moronic Festivus, a fabrication that robs ritual of its majesty, reduces it to a punch line, and calls the truth that which is merely a failure of the imagination.
Seinfeld, of course, is a sitcom, and as such is not obligated to do much more than amuse. But its cultural prevalence indicates that its views are widely shared and that, for many, Festivus is the only feasible alternative to Falwell; the choice is between mindless fundamentalism and equally mindless nihilism.
It's a sad worldview. It's also profoundly un-Jewish. When faced with the breakdown of religion—which Jews had to do a month after the inception of their organized faith, when those congregated at the foothills of Mount Sinai built themselves a Golden Calf—we do not mock or reject but lament.
Leonard Cohen, the closest thing we have to a prophet and a source of comfort to Hitchens in his final months, captured this obligation perfectly. "As I grew older," Cohen wrote, "I understood that instructions came with this voice. And the instructions were these: … Never to lament casually. And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity and beauty."
To which we all, those who believe in God and those who do not and those for whom the question is inconsequential, should respond: Hallelujah.

The key to Christopher Hitchens wasn't his iconoclasm; it was his desire for belonging—and the proof can be found in an unexpected place

She is the single mother of two children of the hair-graying ages of eight and six and is currently petitioning for there to be more hours in the day, because there never seems to be enough.
She has been reading and writing romance since she was awarded a gold star in composition by her Head Teacher (Mr Croucher) some…erm… years ago and has been listening to the voices in her head on a regular basis for the last few years, once she realised they were not going away. She likes nothing more than bringing together two people in interesting and sometimes bizarre ways, and hopes that her readers enjoy what her characters' journey as much as she does.

A sweet, sweet story, at least from Travis' POV. I was never certain if Angel knew he was married, though.
If not, I felt badly for the guy. Travis could have let him down more easily, or perhaps explained the situation.
On the other hand, if he knew and just didn't care, then the little slut of a home wrecker got way better than he deserved. He should have gotten a swift kick from Dean at the very least.
But still, it's a very nice description of turmoil and uncertainty, giving some real dramatic tension.

New London — The City Council on Tuesday night unanimously rejected a request from Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio to transfer $92,500 from an economic development fund to pay for an investigation of Margaret Ackley's conduct as police chief.
Finizio announced at Tuesday night's council meeting that he was nominating William H. Webster - a former federal judge who also served as director of both the CIA and the FBI - to lead the probe of Ackley.
"We are in uncharted territory, since the just cause statutes were passed to protect police chiefs and fire chiefs, none in the state of Connecticut have ever been removed pursuant to those statutes," Finizio said. "Obviously, if we become the first in the state to take action - or not take action, who knows - it is going to be a test case. The city's liabilities in that circumstance could be very significant."
The $92,500 amount was a "high-end" estimate of the total cost for Webster and his team to complete the investigation, and would have been paid upfront as a retainer, according to the mayor.
On July 31, Finizio suspended Ackley, with pay, "pending the outcome of an investigation into her conduct as chief." Finizio said he suspended Ackley because of allegations that she selectively targeted union leaders for discipline, withheld information about the public safety requirements for the Sailfest festival and deliberately failed to assign officers to Ocean Beach Park on the weekend of July 4 "in order to make a political budgetary point."
Ackley's suspension came one day after she filed a request for an injunction against the mayor as part of a pending lawsuit against the mayor and the city that she filed last year in which she claims the Finizio reneged on terms of a new contract he signed. A judge in New London has set a Dec. 9 date for a hearing on Ackley's requested injunction.
Finizio's request Tuesday was not well received by the City Council, which would have to approve the fund transfer in order for Finizio to enter into an agreement with Webster.
Councilors voiced their concern over the cost of Webster's services, the funding source Finizio proposed drawing from and the way Finizio presented his nomination.
"This is a transfer resolution for $92,500 and we found out tonight that it is to hire probably the most expensive investigator in the country, albeit a very competent one," Councilor Michael Passero said. "I'm not sure it is something the city of New London can well afford."
Councilors expressed apprehension in approving a transfer that would take money out of a fund designated for economic development to then be used to address a personnel matter.
"Transferring this amount of money from economic development fund for something not related to economic development is probably not wise," Councilor Erica Richardson said. "There are such better things to do with our funds at this point."
The agenda for Tuesday's meeting contained very little by way of background information. The resolution included in the council's agenda packet listed only "police department" as the reason for the transfer, and councilors were not given more details until Tuesday afternoon, they said.
"I am exceptionally disappointed with the lack of transparency exhibited by the administration on this item. To get this handed to us and his verbal explanation this evening is bad form, to be kind in a public forum," Councilor Martin T. Olsen said. "The item at hand is exceptionally important and needs to be well thought out, and we as a body ought to be given appropriate time to consider something of such importance."
Webster, 90, headed the FBI from 1978 to 1987 and the CIA from 1987 to 1991. He is the current chairman of the Homeland Security Advisory Council.
It was unclear Tuesday night how the mayor plans to proceed with the investigation of Ackley.

Did I just eff myself over since I retardedly wrote Peter Yates when I knew he was out and you have to call out backups in tournaments thus costing me 18 points?

You do the math..... I'll do the alfredo!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Wound up with 183 which appears (in looking at MatEater's score) to be enough to secure my at times tenuous hold on a playoff spot by 15 points.
I'll have full standings out tomorrow.
For those of you who are calculating your own scores Patterson, Oliver, and Palmer all get 5 more points for winning OW at their conference tournaments. Only wrestlers in the Big X/XII get those bonuses.
Looks like that will affect Gofer, Grips, and Zapp.

Out of the scores posted so far you two are the front runners for the WC spots.

Re: DS9 Versus: A viewing experient
Hmm, tough call actually, since all three episodes are good, but all have their flaws.
Voyager was imaginative and cool and I loved the Voth and their city ship. Downside: the regulars felt like bit players here.
B5 has the most memorable scenes for me, especially Delenn going all scary and wrathful and the Sheridan-Ivanova scenes were some of their best. Downside: it felt a bit all over the place.
DS9 has a nice coherent story (so good they remade it twice!) that sets up how Worf and Martok's relationship will be from now on. Downside: like all these Bird of Prey episodes, it's not quite as exciting as you'd expect.
Lines of Communication
is the one that sticks in my mind the most, but I'm going to give the prize to
Distant Origin
for being such an imaginative sci-fi story.

exceeded my expectations- just wanted a warm down coat to brave weather with my Newfoundland dogs and wanted convenient patch pockets for leashes and assorted dog necessities - coat is stylish, so soft & silky- very warm- but more in insulation- started walk and concerned not warm enough but holds body heat in very well- after a few blocks felt as if I should open the vents- and wow- does this ever have zippers, vents pockets etc everywhere- for keys and phone and treats and leashes - even slipped a paperback book in a pocket - I keep finding more adjustment points and zippers- quite frankly- I am not sure what all of them are used for- One review said very heavy jacket- I completely disagree - just the right weight- warmed up today and even though I am so ready for this winter to end- was upset I could not wear my new coat!!

Hello all. Apologies if this isn't the correct forum!
I have a 37 foot sloop sitting in the Inner Harbor that I'm really working to get out as much as I can. Anyone between boats and craving the ocean air? I'm 25, fairly inexperienced but learning fast. She's an old boat undergoing a midlife refit.
I'm always happy to teach what I know, and learn from those more experienced than I.
The last time I was out we took her from Brotchie Ledge around Trial Island under sail. (I believe that was on Jan. 2nd or 3rd.) Winter sailing at it's finest!
Let me know! Cost is of course free, except for maybe a coffee for the diesel.

[6]Return of the Hobbits
Ten years ago, The Fellowship of the Ring began the silver-screen adaptations of Tolkien's widely loved Lord of the Rings trilogy. To celebrate the special anniversary, Empire Magazine [7] has reunited the cast, well, at least the hobbits -- Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin -- for a post-journey recap.
Alec Baldwin's Radio Show
Earlier this week, actor, uncertain political candidate, and now radio host, Alec Baldwin debuted his new podcast on New York Public Radio's WNYC. The show titled Here's the Thing, features Baldwin "following great conversations to unexpected places." The first episode features director/producer Michael Douglas, and is available for streaming here [8].
Megachurch Mega-graph
Good Magazine's latest info-graph features the logistics of megachurches [9]. Using their unique graphic appeal, the map answers the question "What does the average U.S. megachurch looks like?" through illustrations on budgets, membership, and more.
Women, Families, and Climate Change
"Weather Change" is a short documentary that brings together illuminating stories of women, family, and climate change. Told from the voices of three women around the globe, this short, presented by Population Action International [10], shows how birth control and family planning is helping families in areas where environmental concerns and scarce health care abound.
Occupy Wall Street's Library
Over 3,000 titles can be found at New York City's newest library at Zucotti Park. Comprised entirely of donations from citizens, book stores, and publishers, several volunteers manage The People's Library [11], an occupy hot spot that now includes free wifi.

A Moment in McRib History
With the resurgence of McDonald's McRib sandwich, The Huffington Post [14] is compiling pictures of the McRib throughout history. Whether it's raising the flag at Iwo Jima or stopping tanks in Tiananmen Square, this sandwich is truly a famous snack.
Will Ferrell Wins Mark Twain
Last weekend, Will Ferrell was awarded [15] the nation's top comedy prize, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Despite accidentally dropping (and breaking) the bust of Mark Twain on stage, Ferrell was recognized for his portrayal of Ron Burgundy in Anchorman and George W. Bush on Saturday Night Live. Ferrell joins the ranks of fellow recipients Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, and 11 others.
Watch this video of congratulation released today from Funny or Die, a site comedy Ferrell co-founded.

Sometimes laundry day comes multiple times a week. That's why this high-efficiency
dryer is better built with 6.7 cu. ft. capacity to handle large loads straight
from the washer. It also has Maytag® Commercial Technology components like a
durable motor, the IntelliDry® sensor to reduce overdrying and shrinking and
the Eco Normal cycle that uses up to 40% less energy when paired with a Performance
Series washer. With features like these, it's easy to get laundry done no matter
what day it is.

The dryer functions well as a whole for majority of loads. I have only had for a month now but it has some useful features including wrinkle prevention. The only thing that I have noticed is sometimes it leaves a few clothing items slightly moist when the load is larger. Depending what I am drying, I have to break up my washer load into two drying cycles to ensure they are properly dried. Overall I have been happy with my purchase and would recommend this dryer to anyone else especially considering the price.

This product does a good job drying my clothes quickly.
By renovatedbathroom
from chicago
I bought this dryer to go along with the matching washer to stack in my bathroom closet. It dries the clothes quickly and the clothes come out smelling fresh and unwrinkled. Even the short cycle does the trick. I just had it installed a month ago but so far, it's doing the job beautifully!
Maytag Dryer

Love all the extra features, just wish the end signal was louder or volume adjustable instead of just on or off. My dryer is in the basement and hard to hear upstairs.
So far so good with 1 minor thing
By TaraCD
from Fort Myers , Fl
My appliance is almost a year old now . No major problems so far . The one minor thing is the latch receiver that keeps the door closed completely is plastic and has failed after 2 months . I am very pleased with its performance so far and would recommend it to a friend .

I would have given this product 5 stars, but we found the timing is off on the pre-sets and will have to call for service.
A question comes to mind.
By Kate75
from NEBRASKA
Why do the washer and dryer each come in two pieces? I found it really strange that it would have been necessary to crawl on my hands and knees to put things in if I hadn't purchased the lower portions of both. That is why I rated it only Good overall.
Would never own anything but a Maytag

Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his finely-crafted, traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33. His influence on Canadian folk music has been deep and lasting.
By the time that Rogers was attending Saltfleet High School in Stoney Creek, he started to meet other young people interested in folk music, although at this time he was also dabbling in rock and roll, singing and playing Bass guitar in garage bands such as "Stanley and the Living Stones," and "The Hobbits."
As a young man, Rogers briefly attended both McMaster University and Trent University.
Rogers' songs often had a Celtic feel which was due, in part, to his frequent use of DADGAD guitar tuning. His best known pieces include "Northwest Passage," "Barrett's Privateers," "The Mary Ellen Carter," "Make and Break Harbour," "The Idiot," "The Field Behind the Plow," "Lies ," "Fogarty's Cove," "White Squall" and "Forty-Five Years."
Some of his songs were in the style of sea shanties, though his brother Garnet once remarked that he would "get seasick crossing a wet lawn."
Rogers died of smoke inhalation June 2, 1983 while travelling on Air Canada Flight 797. The airliner was flying from Dallas, Texas to Toronto and Montreal when an in-flight fire forced it to make an emergency landing at the Greater Cincinnati Airport. It was rumored, though not confirmed, that Rogers survived and escaped the crash, only to perish after returning to save those still trapped inside. Stan Rogers was cremated and his ashes were scattered in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia.
His widow, Ariel Rogers, continues to oversee his legacy. His music and lyrics have been featured in numerous written publications and films. For instance, his lyrics have appeared in school poetry books, taking their place alongside acknowledged classics. His song "Northwest Passage" was featured in the last episode of the TV show Due South, his songs "Barrett's Privateers" and "Watching The Apples Grow" having been previously featured. In the 2005 CTV made-for-TV movie on the life of Terry Fox, Rogers' "Turnaround" is the music over the closing shot. As the movie ends, Fox is depicted, alone, striding up a hill, while the lyric "And yours was the open road. The bitter song / The heavy load that I'll never share, tho' the offer's still there / Every time you turn around," forges a link between these Canadian icons. Many of his songs on the albums Northwest Passage and From Fresh Water refer to events in Canadian history.
Adrienne Clarkson, who, prior to serving as the Governor General of Canada from 1999–2005, had worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, highlighted Rogers' career in a 1989 television documentary when she introduced the show called "One Warm Line" on CBC television; she also quoted Rogers in her investiturial address.
When CBC's Peter Gzowski asked Canadians to pick an alternate national anthem, Northwest Passage was the overwhelming choice.
The Stan Rogers Folk Festival is held every year in Canso, Nova Scotia. In 1995, several artists performed two nights of concerts at Halifax's Rebecca Cohn Auditorium, which were released on album that year as Remembering Stan Rogers.
One of Stan's sons, Nathan Rogers, is also an established Canadian folk artist with a voice similar to his father's.
In 1976, Rogers formed Fogarty's Cove Music, a label on which he released his first four albums. Posthumously, another four albums have been released. An album on the Folk Tradition label was released shortly after his death:

Good day fellow researchers !
I am looking for practical help to retrieve documents related to the birth and/or baptism of my great-grand-father Giovanni VOLPIN from ROVIGO (either the city or province) in the Veneto region in Italy.
He emigrated to Brazil, settled in Pedreira - São Paulo state, and died there in 1932 at 77 years of age, meaning he was born in or around 1855 (1854 - 1856).
His parents were Paolo VOLPIN and Teresa CAPATO, who did not emigrate to Brazil.
Upon arrival in Brazil (at the age of 18 - I have no document of this, only stories from family members), Giovanni's first name was changed/translated to João (and on on his death certificate his parents are mentioned as Paulo, and Theresa).
So far I have written to the "diocesi di Adria - Rovigo", to cultural centers in the region, but with the data I have they do not seem to be able to locate anything.
Italy was unified in 1861 and my GGF Giovanni was born in or around 1855 when it was not Italy yet. It must have been either Venice or part of the Austrian empire.
We do not know from where he left in Italy (as Rovigo is in the north, perhaps from Venice or Genova), and where in Brazil he arrived (large ports are Santos in the São Paulo area and Rio de Janeiro).
I am wondering whether people have looked in the same area (Rovigo province or Veneto region), and if yes, if and where you were successful (local administration, church, cultural group, etc.) around 1850 - 1860.
In case anybody has experience with the search for documentation regarding people emigrating from Northern Italy (ship registries/documents etc.), that would be very helpful as well.
Thank you in advance, grazie !

'My Last War: A Vietnam Veteran's Tour in Iraq': Author and Veteran Tells Story of His C.O.B.R.A. Team During Operation Iraqi Freedom
WINTER SPRINGS, Fla., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ — Central Florida police officer Charles M. Grist is one of the few Vietnam veterans to have served as an enlisted soldier in the Iraq war. In 2004, he volunteered to be the sergeant-in-charge of the Protective Service Detail for an Army Reserve general in Baghdad. Based on the detailed war journal he kept during his service in Iraq, and coupled with his experiences that began a generation ago in Vietnam, Grist completed his own war journey by writing the new book "My Last War: A Vietnam Veteran's Tour in Iraq" (published by iUniverse).
"In 'My Last War,' I am able to share my team's story from the unique perspective of a Vietnam veteran still serving as a soldier during Operation Iraqi Freedom," explains Grist. "During my first war in Vietnam, I served with extraordinary warriors; in my last war in Iraq, I was proud to serve with their sons and daughters."
Grist used his daily journal to tell the story of his C.O.B.R.A. team's wartime experiences, documenting the events that shaped Iraq in 2004 and preserving the heroic deeds of some of the Army Reserve and National Guard warrior-citizens with whom he served. Based inside Baghdad's Green Zone, Grist and his team's mission with the general led them along the deadly roads of Baghdad, to the throne of Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon, and through the picturesque hills of Kurdistan. It was a fast-paced life of high adventure, filled with convoys, mortar or rocket attacks, and the constant threat of ambushes or improvised explosive devices.
Grist's personal mission in Iraq could only succeed if the general and the men of the C.O.B.R.A. team returned safely to their families. To survive their tour, these American warriors needed all of their skills, a lot of luck, and an unswerving dedication to each other.
"My Last War" is also a tribute to Vietnam veterans, as Grist hopes they will be able to see that their service was indeed appreciated – even decades later. For the veterans of Iraq, Grist writes with the hope that Americans will understand what wonderful differences American troops have made in the lives of innocent Iraqi citizens. Grist concludes with the hope that American leaders will always exhaust every other option before committing American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines to war. He also believes that the only acceptable end to any war involving our troops is victory.
About the Author – Charles M. (Chuck) Grist is a master police officer in Central Florida who retired from the Army Reserve in 2009. Enlisting for the first time in 1968, Grist was commissioned a year later as a second lieutenant at the age of 20. He graduated from the Army's Airborne and Ranger Courses and served in Vietnam as an infantry platoon leader with the First Cavalry Division. After a long break in service, Grist re-enlisted in the Army Reserve as a sergeant and volunteered for service in Iraq in 2004. He is a graduate of the University of Central Florida and has been married to his wife, Debbie, for over 35 years. They are the parents of four children and the grandparents of three little girls and one little Ranger.

Transition to Warmth= Showers or Storms
A deck of midlevel clouds will be thinning this morning giving way to sunny to partly sunny skies this Sunday. High pressure is pulling off the coast and be wrapping in a warmer moist air mass into the region today. Highs will be similar to yesterday with temps in the 62-64 inland and 50's to near 60 at the coast. We will enjoy midday sunshine before the clouds increase this afternoon thanks to blowoff from the tops of these storms.

Samuel L. Jackson Hosts BET AWARDS 12 Tonight, 7/3
Actor Samuel L. Jackson, declared the highest grossing movie actor of all time according to the Guinness Book of World Records, will be this year's BET AWARDS 12 host. In addition, the members of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly are the prestigious recipients of the 'Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award;' and Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj were revealed as the first confirmed performers.
Respectfully labeled as one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood, Samuel L. Jackson is an undisputed star as demonstrated in the fact that his films have grossed the most money in box office sales than any other actor in the history of filmmaking. Currently, the Oscar-nominated actor is on screen in "The Avengers," which is part of his 9-picture deal with Marvel Studios. The film opened on May 4, 2012 to a record shattering $200 million opening weekend.
On hand from BET's NYC studios to announce the nominees for the BET AWARDS 12 were Mindless Behavior, Big Sean, Melanie Fiona, DJ Khaled, Astro, A$AP Rocky and Diggy, along with the Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award honorees Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.

Minutes after Narendra Modi took oath as India's 15th prime minister, the website of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has already migrated to the new PM's credentials.
The home page of the website, now sporting a demure cream-yellow background, has sections for 'Social Media Updates', 'Official Statements', 'News Updates' and one called 'Wish the Prime Minister'.
"As we devote ourselves to take India's development journey to newer heights, we seek your support, blessings and active participation," Modi said in his first message on the website.
He added, "Together we will script a glorious future for India. Let us together dream of a strong, developed and inclusive India that actively engages with the global community to strengthen the cause of world peace and development."
A short profile was also uploaded on www.pmindia.nic.in which described him as "dynamic, dedicated and determined" leader who "arrives as a ray of hope in the lives of a billion Indians".
It said that his "laser focus on development and his proven ability" to deliver results have made him one of India's most popular leaders.
Without naming the RSS, it said that from a very young age, Modi immersed himself in service to the nation, working with "patriotic organisations".
An option called "Wish the Prime Minister" takes a user to Modi's personal website.
The new prime minister also let out a message using his official website 'pmindia.nic.in'.

Intelligent and reasonable persons can disagree on whether what appears to be the emerging fiscal cliff deal is a deal worth making. It certainly is not a good deal, but it might be the least bad option.
However, it does confirm that Madman Political Bargaining works. Republicans are getting much more than they should have in this deal.
In my August 2011 post about the debt ceiling "end of the world" negotiations of 2011 (soon to be repeated apparently), I argued:
You want to negotiate a deal when your bargaining leverage is at its maximum, not at its minimum. This is basic bargaining. It amazes me how few people understand this point. In 1995, Bill Clinton searched for moments of maximum leverage to bargain with the Republicans. Luckily for Clinton, the GOP never played the debt ceiling card on him. But Obama should have known the GOP would with him. A good bargainer would have known not to give up his best chip (tax cuts) without making the other side take theirs (the debt ceiling) off the table.My biggest concern with the details reported on the proposed fiscal cliff deal, other than the most basic - that we should be looking at policies to grow the economy, not worrying about the deficit (not Dem's fault, that simply was not in the cards with this GOP)- relates to the loss of the tax issue chip while getting nothing menaningful in return on the debt ceiling.
I understand the concern about UI benefits. But I do not believe it is wise to let that concern overwhlem every other issue involved in this debate. Consider the issue of spending cuts on programs such as food stamps, Mediciad, Medicare and yes, Social Security, to name just a few.
What will the President use for leverage to get good deals on these issues? The contra argument is that military spending is a big enough chip. I am skeptical, mostly because the constituency in the Congress for defense spending is broad and bipartisan. Frankly, it is not a good "hostage" for Democrats. They will not threaten it and Republicans know they won't threaten it.
The tax issue was the maximum leverage for Democrats. In August 2011, I argued:
Now is not the moment of maximum leverage for Dems on taxes. Frankly it won't come until after the 2012 election.Giving up their maximum leverage while the GOP holds on to its maximum leverage points, the debt ceiling and the sequester down the road, is not a good bargain imo.
Moreover, the maximum POLITICAL advantage comes for Dems who propose extending tax cuts for ordinary Americans and saving Social Security and Medicare by raising taxes on the wealthy.there will be no short term deal that will be advantageous politically to Dems. The political advantage comes from having the GOP defend the rich at the expense of everyone else. [Emphasis supplied.]
In a vacuum, the reported deal is not terrible and can be defended in isolation. But in the larger context, it gives too much leverage to the GOP for the future, this year and beyond.
I think the Madmen in the GOP will have won this round, not because the score in this round is lopsidedly bad, but because of what the set up is for future negotiations.
Reasonable minds can disagree of course.
UPDATE: Jared Bernstein:
So, here's my first blush response to this deal. The thing that worried me most in the endgame is that the WH would be so intent on a deal that they'd lock in too few revenues with no path back to the revenue well, and that they'd leave the debt ceiling hanging out there. Remember, the ultimate goal of Repubicans here is still to "starve the beast"–to shrink government by hacking away at both sides of its ledger–receipts and outlays.Noam Scheiber:
Those fears will be realized unless the President really and truly refuses to negotiate on the debt ceiling and is willing to blow past those who would stage a strategic default. If he is not, and if this cliff deal passes, then I fear the WH may have squandered its hard won leverage.
I think a reasonable person can defend the bill on its own terms. [...] My far bigger gripe with the whole fiscal-cliff exercise has always been the strategic dimension—how it affects the next showdown with the GOP, and the one after that. Coming into the negotiation, Obama had two big problems: First, no matter how tough he talked, Republicans always assumed he'd blink in the end, for the simple reason that he pretty much always had. [...] Second, despite the results of the most recent election, in which Obama won a fairly commanding victory on a platform of raising taxes on wealthy people, the GOP continued to believe that public opinion was mostly on its side. House Republicans cited the preservation of their majority—never mind that their own candidates received fewer total votes than House Democratic candidates—and polls showing most Americans still think government is too big.Krugman:
Fortunately, the fiscal cliff offered Obama a chance to solve both these problems. He could afford to be unyielding because the economic consequences of going over the cliff for a few days or weeks would be relatively minimal and almost entirely reversible. And doing so would immediately demonstrate to the GOP that public opinion was emphatically not on its side—polls showed that the public reaction to going over the cliff would be both intense and heavily trained on Republicans. Throw in Obama's post-election bump in approval ratings, and there was never a better time to hold out.
Instead, the emerging deal will reinforce the convictions that have made the GOP such a toxic presence in Washington. If Obama will cave even when he's got all the leverage, when won't he cave? Never, the Republicans will assume.
[N]ow for the really bad news. Anyone looking at these negotiations, especially given Obama's previous behavior, can't help but reach one main conclusion: whenever the president says that there's an issue on which he absolutely, positively won't give ground, you can count on him, you know, giving way — and soon, too. The idea that you should only make promises and threats you intend to make good on doesn't seem to be one that this particular president can grasp.
And that means that Republicans will go right from this negotiation into the debt ceiling in the firm belief that Obama can be rolled.

Noah Green Serviced
Noah Greene lifted too much weight at the gym and popped a ****** vessel in his eye. Although he told me it was ****less I kissed it to make it better. I followed that kiss with a bit of tickling and a lot of touching. Noah Greene has a sexy tan and a cute bubble butt that makes my mouth water. When I peak inside his underwear I see a thick cock that makes my mouth water. I get down on my knees and suck on his dick rapidly. We then move on to the bed where I finish undressing him and continue sucking him. As I part his ass cheeks, I get a glimpse of his tight hole and my tongue dives in. I prop him up so that his ass is hanging in the air, begging for my tongue… and then my finger. Noah Greene moans in ecstasy as I slip my finger in and out of his tight ass while sucking his thick tool. He face fucks me with his big cock, then lays back down on the bed. I suck off his huge rod until he busts his nut in my mouth. What a treat!

First Serves Under Pressure
Borg made his first serve on 12 of 13 break points in the 1980 Wimbledon final against McEnroe.
That stat is probably the most impressive that Moose and I have come across, in the category of first serves made when facing break points.
Del Potro replicated it recently at the Olympics, making his first serve on 12 of 13 break points against Federer.
On all 13 break points, Del Potro directed his serve to Federers backhand. Twelve times in a row he made his first serve, and Federer stabbed at the ball to get it back, if he could get it back at all. Only once in that stretch was Federer able to get the serve back and convert a break point: that was at 9-all in the third. But Federer got broken back at love, so the match continued for several more games. Del Potro kept saving break points with his first serve.
Finally on the 13th break point, Del Potro missed his first serve. He directed his second serve to the backhand, but Federer was able to run around it and play a forehand. They got into a tense rally in which Federer hit 5 forehands and only one BH; and Federer converted it. That was the decisive break, and Federer served out the match 3-6, 7-6, 19-17.
Some other standout performances in this category:
Isner in a 2012 Davis Cup match vs Federer, made his 1st serve on 11 of 12 break points
Lendl in a 1983 W semifinal vs Tanner, on 9 of 10
Borg in the 1977 W final vs Connors, on 12 of 14
Smith in the 1971 W final vs Newcombe, on 11 of 13
Borg in the 1976 W final vs Nastase, on 10 of 12
Borg in the 1979 Masters semis vs McEnroe, on 10 of 12
Federer at the 2001 W, R16, vs Sampras, on 9 of 11
Djokovic in a 2012 RG quarterfinal vs Tsonga, on 9 of 11
Rosewall in the 1970 USO final vs Roche, on 12 of 15
McEnroe in the 1981 W final vs Borg, on 12 of 15
McEnroe at the 1990 USO vs Sanchez, on 12 of 15
Roche in the 1970 USO final vs Rosewall, on 8 of 10
Kuerten in a 2000 Masters Cup semi vs Sampras, on 8 of 10
Roddick in a 2012 Miami match vs Federer, on 8 of 10
Smith in the 1972 W final vs Nastase, on 13 of 17
Pancho Gonzalez at the 1969 W, R128 vs Pasarell, on 8 of 11 in the last 3 sets
Borg at the 1980 Wimbledon, R128 vs El Shafei, on 7 of 7
Lendl in a 1987 USO semi vs Connors, on 6 of 6
Kuerten in the 2000 Masters Cup final vs Agassi, on 6 of 7
McEnroe in the 1979 Masters semis vs Borg, on 5 of 6
Borg in the 1979 W final vs Tanner, on 7 of 9
Newcombe in the 1971 W final, on 6 of 8
Laver in the 1969 W final vs Newcombe, on 5 of 7
Sampras in the 1999 W final vs Agassi, on 4 of 4
And from less big servers (or servers who used heavy spin):
Connors in the 1981 W semis vs Borg, on 20 of 22
Nadal in the 2006 Rome final vs Federer, on 9 of 10
Chang in the 1989 RG final vs Edberg, on 22 of 25
Lewis in the 1983 W semis vs Curren, on 13 of 15
Nadal in the 2007 RG final vs Federer, on 14 of 17
Agassi in a 1995 W semi vs Becker, on 13 of 16
Edberg in the 1989 Davis Cup final vs Becker, on 9 of 11
Connors in the 1975 W final vs Ashe, on 17 of 21
Nadal in a 2012 AO semi vs Federer, on 8 of 10
Rosewall in the 1974 W semis vs Smith, on 6 of 7
Nadal in the 2011 W final vs Djokovic, on 5 of 6
Wilander in the 1988 RG final vs Leconte, on 4 of 4
And some poor performances:
Ashe in the 1978 Masters final vs McEnroe, on 0 of 6
Becker in the 1989 W semis vs Lendl, on 0 of 6
Wilander in the 1983 AO final vs Lendl, on 0 of 4
Becker in a 1993 W semi vs Sampras, on 0 of 4
Lendl in the 1984 USO semis vs Cash, on 2 of 10
Lendl in the 1988 USO final vs Wilander, on 2 of 10
Becker in the 1989 W final vs Edberg, on 1 of 5
Pernfors in the 1986 Davis Cup final vs Cash, on 2 of 9
Agassi in the 1999 W final vs Sampras, on 2 of 9
Kriek in the 1981 AO final vs Denton, on 2 of 8
Noah in the 1983 RG quarters vs Lendl, on 2 of 8
Nadal in a 2007 Masters Cup semifinal vs Federer, on 1 of 4
Lendl in a 1983 W semi vs McEnroe, on 2 of 7
If what has been written is remotely true, I have to believe that Pancho Gonzales has had numerous serving performances that would be at the top of this list that are undocumentend and that we'll never know about.
I know the remark you're referring to, I wish I could locate the exact quote, or at least the source. It was a comment to the effect that Pancho almost always got his first serve into play when facing a break point.
But as they say, don't quote me on that!
Here's another: Borg made his first serve on 4 of 4 break points in the 1979 RG final against Pecci.
That's kind of a mixed case because Borg normally hit big first serves, but on that occasion he was spinning them in.
In the '80 W final it was a different story. At 4-all in the second set he faced 3 break points, all potentially giving McEnroe a chance at a two-set lead. Borg put 3 strong serves in the box and drew return errors on all of them.
From Pancho Segura's Championship Strategy-How to play winning Tennis
"The best serve I have ever seen in tennis from the viewpoint of perfect rhythm, effortless motion, and effectiveness was that of Pancho Gonzalez. The toss was as smooth as silk, the knee motin classical, the **** of the arm impeccable, the arc made by arm and racket totally fluid--and the ball came off the racket like a bullet. In his best playing years, one could predict that, if Gonzalez was down 0-40 on serve, the first serve would always go in. It always did."
From Jack Kramer's book The Game--FIRST SERVE-Vines had the finest serve I ever saw, but Gonzales, the great competitor, was more consistent with his in the tightest spots. Tilden, too, must be ranked for speed and deception.
May be able to find more quotes later on Gonzalez's serve under pressure. I read somewhere that someone kept an informal record on year of Gonzalez's serve percentage on big points and it was extremely high.
Tony Trabert has also commented to the effect that he thought his ground game was better than Gonzales', but that, Gonzales' serve was so much better, his ground game didn't make enough of a difference. IMO, Trabert did have a more powerful ground game, but, not necessarily a better ground game. Gonzales was a touch player like McEnroe (but with much prettier strokes) who was a quicker, better athlete overall than Trabert, who used his ground game very effectively to keep his opponent off balance and frustrate attacking net rushers.
From the Fireside Book of Tennis-From an article by Julius Heldman called The Style of Pancho Gonzales--The strongest part of Gonzales' serve is his ability to put the first ball into play when the chips are down. At 0-40, 15-40 and 30-40, his battling average on first serves must be .950. It is incredible to have so high a percentage while still hitting hard and almost flat. The number of aces served on these important points is also astounding.
There are a lot of greats famous for putting big serves in when the pressure was on, Pancho Gonzalez is perhaps the most revered by the experts but I would say in the last few decades you would have to look at Borg and Sampras as being well known for this also.
Krosero has McEnroe doing well in this area but I don't recall him being well known for this area of the game. He probably was excellent but it wasn't mentioned that often.
Speaking of Borg, here's what Fred Perry wrote about him in his book Fred Perry-An autobiography-Borg was the best player I've ever seen when it came to battling his way out of a tight corner; when he was love-40, 15-40 or 30-40 down he was marvelous. Look how he came back so many times from seemingly impossible postions against players like Mark Edmondson, Vijay Amritraj and Victor Amaya during his great Wimbledon years.
We all know how famous Becker was for hitting big serves down break point, coming back from 0-40 etc. Well, krosero & I have tracked many of his matches & turns out he was fairly average at making first serves down break point. I followed his entire career & would have bet good money that he would have a high number of 1st serves made down break points, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Many posters here(& commentators) repeat that about Becker frequently & probably always will. So something that isn't really true is widely accepted as fact, because of our "impressions" of watching matches, with no actual stats.
But his huge 2nd serves sort of balanced that out.
I see you frequently argue in GOAT debates that former players aren't historians and we should take their opinions with a grain of salt. I sort of feel the same thing here. They aren't statisticians, so their opinions should be taken with a grain of salt.
I know you'll probably never do it, but taking stats can really make you see things about players you would never notice otherwise. Stats don't tell everything, but certainly do add to the experience.
I have more stats on this from some Federer matches. I think he's pretty good at making 1st serves down break point.
Courier went 5 of 6 in '93 W SF.
I have always thought that tennis should have a Sabr type organization that researches important stats like this.
Incidentally Moose I do have stats for matches that I've charted but not nearly as many as you. I think it's a wonderful thing the work that you and Krosero have done.
But as I wrote earlier I was going to give comments by former pros about players like Gonzalez. I did not say it was necessarily true.
Bill Tilden´s serve has been severely underrated, probably due to little general knowledge about his game.But he patented the cannonball and had amazing 5 of first serves in.
BTW, wasn´t him who said that a player is as good as his second serve?
Kramer's comparison between Vines and Gonzalez is interesting, although I don't know how much it's worth since Kramer was still only 18 when Vines retired.
PS: Here is a view of Vines' serve almost head on:

Old tube amps FTW.
Looks awesome bro.
Yea, I own several tube amps and preamps. If you look at the photo in the bottom left corner you will see 2 Grommes JL 6 integrated tube amps from the 50's. They put out about 8wpc and were built before stereo was around. I have two so that makes a stereo pair. They have some mods and updates done to them and sound really good, a little sloppy in the bass but are very enjoyable. I was going to use them to power a pair of bookshelf speakers for my PC but purchased a pair of powered studio monitors.

Core I-7 920 @ 3.56GHz, Noctua NH-U12P Cooler, EVGA 01G-P3-1180-AR GeForce GTX-285 1GB, EVGA GT-240 Superclocked 512Mb used as a Physx card, DFI LANPARTY JR X58-T3H6, OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1600 7-7-7-18, Intel X25-V SSD, used as a boot drive, 2X Seagate 500Gig 32MB Cache 7200RPM in RAID 0, Logitec G-15 keyboard, Logitech MX-518 Mouse, CH Combatstick 568, Xboc Controller, LG L227WTG-PF 22" LCD Monitor 1680x1050.
