Perhaps an account from the memoirs of the artist Alexander Benois best describes an impression of Alexander III:
After a performance of the ballet 'Tsar Kandavl' at the Mariinsky Theatre, I first caught sight of the Emperor. I was struck by the size of the man, and although cumbersome and heavy, he was still a mighty figure. There was indeed something of the muzhik [Russian peasant] about him. The look of his bright eyes made quite an impression on me. As he passed where I was standing, he raised his head for a second, and to this day I can remember what I felt as our eyes met. It was a look as cold as steel, in which there was something threatening, even frightening, and it struck me like a blow. The Tsar's gaze! The look of a man who stood above all others, but who carried a monstrous burden and who every minute had to fear for his life and the lives of those closest to him. In later years I came into contact with the Emperor on several occasions, and I felt not the slightest bit timid. In more ordinary cases Tsar Alexander III could be at once kind, simple, and even almost... homely.
On his deathbed, Alexander's elder brother Nicholas is said to have expressed the wish that his affianced bride, Princess Dagmar of Denmark, should marry his successor. This wish was swiftly realized, when on 9 November, 1866, Alexander wed the princess of Denmark. The union proved a most happy one and remained unclouded to the end. Unlike that of his parents, there was no adultery in the marriage. During those years when he was heir-apparent—1865 to 1881—Alexander did not play a prominent part in public affairs, but he allowed it to become known that he had certain ideas of his own which did not coincide with the principles of the existing government.
The antagonism first appeared publicly during the Franco-Prussian War, when the Tsar supported the cabinet of Berlin and the tsarevich did not conceal his sympathies from the French. It reappeared in an intermittent fashion during the years 1875–1879, when the Eastern question produced so much excitement in all ranks of Russian society. At first the tsarevich was more Slavophile than the government, but his phlegmatic nature preserved him from many of the exaggerations indulged in by others, and any of the prevalent popular illusions he may have imbibed were soon dispelled by personal observation in Bulgaria, where he commanded the left wing of the invading army.
Never consulted on political questions, he confined himself to his military duties and fulfilled them in a conscientious and unobtrusive manner. After many mistakes and disappointments, the army reached Constantinople and the Treaty of San Stefano was signed, but much that had been obtained by that important document had to be sacrificed at the Congress of Berlin. Prince Bismarck failed to do what was confidently expected of him by the Russian Tsar.
In return for the Russian support, which had enabled him to create the German Empire, it was thought that he would help Russia to solve the Eastern question in accordance with her own interests, but to the surprise and indignation of the cabinet of Saint Petersburg he confined himself to acting the part of "honest broker" at the congress, and shortly afterwards he ostentatiously contracted an alliance with Austria for the express purpose of counteracting Russian designs in Eastern Europe. The tsarevich could point to these results as confirming the views he had expressed during the Franco-Prussian War, and he drew from them the practical conclusion that for Russia the best thing to do was to recover as quickly as possible from her temporary exhaustion and to prepare for future contingencies by a radical scheme of military and naval reorganization. In accordance with this conviction, he suggested that certain reforms should be introduced.
In the last years of his reign, Alexander II had been much exercised by the spread of Nihilist doctrines and the increasing number of anarchist conspiracies, and for some time he had hesitated between strengthening the hands of the executive and making concessions to the widespread political aspirations of the educated classes. Finally he decided in favour of the latter course, and on the very day of his death he signed an ukaz, creating a number of consultative commissions which might have been easily transformed into an assembly of notables.
Following advice of his political mentor Konstantin Pobedonostsev, Alexander III determined to adopt the opposite policy. He at once canceled the ukaz before it was published, and in the manifesto announcing his accession to the throne he let it be very clearly understood that he had no intention of limiting or weakening the autocratic power which he had inherited from his ancestors. Nor did he afterwards show any inclination to change his mind.
All the internal reforms which he initiated were intended to correct what he considered as the too liberal tendencies of the previous reign, so that he left behind him the reputation of a sovereign of the retrograde type. In his opinion Russia was to be saved from anarchical disorders and revolutionary agitation, not by the parliamentary institutions and so-called liberalism of western Europe, but by the three principles which the elder generation of the Slavophils systematically recommended—nationality, Eastern Orthodoxy and autocracy. His political ideal was a nation containing only one nationality, one language, one religion and one form of administration; and he did his utmost to prepare for the realization of this ideal by imposing the Russian language and Russian schools on his German, Polish and other non-Russian subjects (with the exception of the Finns), by fostering Eastern Orthodoxy at the expense of other confessions, by persecuting the Jews and by destroying the remnants of German, Polish and Swedish institutions in the outlying provinces. These policies were implemented by "May Laws" that banned Jews from rural areas and shtetls even within the Pale of Settlement.
In the other provinces he sought to counteract what he considered the excessive liberalism of his father's reign. For this purpose he removed what little power had by zemstvo, an elective local administration resembling the county and parish councils in England, had and placed the autonomous administration of the peasant communes under the supervision of landed proprietors appointed by the government. These came to be known as land captains, who were much feared and resented amongst the peasant communities throughout Russia. At the same time he sought to strengthen and centralize the Imperial administration, and to bring it more under his personal control.
In foreign affairs he was emphatically a man of peace, but not at all a partisan of the doctrine of peace at any price, and he followed the principle that the best means of averting war is to be well prepared for it. Though indignant at the conduct of Prince Bismarck towards Russia, he avoided an open rupture with Germany, and even revived for a time the Three Emperors' Alliance.
It was only in the last years of his reign, when Mikhail Katkov had acquired a certain influence over him, that he adopted a more hostile attitude towards the cabinet of Berlin, and even then he confined himself to keeping a large quantity of troops near the German frontier, and establishing cordial relations with France. With regard to Bulgaria he exercised similar self-control. The efforts of Prince Alexander and afterwards of Stamboloff to destroy Russian influence in the principality excited his indignation, but he persistently vetoed all proposals to intervene by force of arms.
In 1887, once again the Peoples Will planned the murder of Tsar Alexander III. Among the conspirators captured were one Aleksandr Ulyanov. Ulyanov was sentenced to death and hanged on May 5 1887. Alexander Ulyanov was the brother of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, who would later take the pseudonym V.I. Lenin.
In Central Asian affairs he followed the traditional policy of gradually extending Russian domination without provoking a conflict with the United Kingdom, and he never allowed the bellicose partisans of a forward policy to get out of hand. As a whole his reign cannot be regarded as one of the eventful periods of Russian history; but it must be admitted that under his hard, unsympathetic rule the country made considerable progress. He died of nephritis at the Livadia Palace on 1 November 1894 and was buried at the Peter and Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg. Alexander III was succeeded by his eldest son Nicholas II of Russia.
Emperor Alexander and his Danish-born wife regularly spent their summers in their Langinkoski manor near Kotka on the Finnish coast, where their children were immersed in a Scandinavian lifestyle of relative modesty.
Tsar Alexander's memorial is located in the city of Irkutsk at the embankment of the Angara river.
Alexander III had six children of his marriage with Princess Dagmar of Denmark, also known as Marie Feodorovna.

LeBron upstages Rogen, Rudd in Samsung's Super Bowl ad
Samsung releases the full 2-minute version of its Super Bowl ad. You do see some products. But you see a lot more of Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and LeBron James.
Some brands will make you wait to see their Super Bowl ads.
Not Samsung.
Having teased quite brilliantly with its mockery of the NFL's strict trademark regulations, Samsung has now released the full version of the real thing.
The real thing from The Next Big Thing again features Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.
Like Samsung's Galaxy Note, this ad is a slightly bloated but likable affair, indulgently allowing its stars to free-associate with good humor and not so much dwelling on niceties such as, well, the products.
Mr. Show's Bob Odenkirk again comes along for the ride, puncturing Rogen and Rudd's pretensions to stardom with heartless glee.
The ad asks you consider just how old Rudd really is. It asks you to imagine Rogen in a diaper. It confirms your suspicions that crowdsourcing is the deepest joy of the lazy and the tight-fisted.
There's even a little mockery of Psy and his Gangnam Style.
Then LeBron James appears and you're asked to appreciate what real stardom is about.
It's all enjoyable enough, and well suited to the gout-inducing starfest that is the Big Game.

Thinker and Experimenter,
This conversation is closed.
If someone you knew was a pathological truth-teller; how would you react to this person?
Most of you have probably hear the term "pathological liar", meaning they lie all the time, from dusk til dawn. We all lie though, but too much lies can ruin any relationship. If there was no lies, but pure truth 24/7 360days a year for the rest of that persons' life, how would you react to this person?
Some have argued with me that we need lies to live for example, 'your best friends mother on her death bed asks you where her son is, and you couldn't tell her that her son has just died on an air plane that blew up just before landing, so you lie and tell her that his flight was cancelled and he says he loves you very much and you fill in the blanks with fond memories....now let's change that situation a bit....
Your best friend mother on her death bed asks for her son, but you know he just died on that exploding plane, so you give her the low down and tell her that his flight didn't make it here because his plane blew up, though he really loves you and he told me this before we got off the phone.
Two scenarios, both end the same, she passes away, but the details may be different depending on the individual.
A pathological truth-teller doesn't blurt things out though, like if they see something/someone they hate, they won't go I hate that thing over there and then proceed to tell the thing or person they hate it/them, though if they were asked to give an opinion they would tell the truth.
If you asked this person a question, they would answer you extremely truthfully and at times it might even seem offensive. For instance, you ask them "do I look good in this" and the pathological truth-teller says "it looks hideous on you, but you already tried all the clothes in this store and they all don't look good on you, so let's go to a store with a different style?".
How would you react to this person?
Update: This is a scenario of a world with pathological truth tellers.
Closing Statement from Dyed All Hues
All I could think of is "thank you for participating and hope the remnance of this discussion will shed light upon your life", though this topic is far from reaching any type of consensus; we can all strive to respect one another and live earnestly and honestly.
May you take positive leaps and bounds in your life.
Dan Geurin
Jul 2 2012: This isn't really a hypothetical situation. Ask any 5 year old a question, and you will get an honest answer.Be careful what you ask. You may not be ready to hear the truth.
- +2
Jul 2 2012: Haha, they say that children are imprints of their environment, without any filters for their information. Interesting concept though, so we were all pathological truth tellers in one points of our lives, but according to Pamela Meyer:How to spot a liar, says that we were all out-right liars at one points in our lives also, so truth and lies for a child might be similar in some ways? I'm just trying make sense of something, but not sure where I'm going....just a random thought.
Jul 3 2012: Hey Derek, With all due respect to Pamela, and even Dan Ariely in his new book, I am not convinced that we were all liars at one point in time. Some of your theories resonate with me. Harsh parenting can create 'truth tellers' just as it can create 'patholgical liars' - I think it depends on personality type and resiliancy- the less resiliant might choose truth when they are broken as a form of keeping clairty in their world view. This early breaking of the heart though, might be ultimately redeemed as a preferred life style which enables bonding, self reflection and even self-sacrifice.Jul 3 2012: Myfanwy- I hope you find this as you had no reply button and thus no notification that I was responding to your question. And it is a good question. Rememnber that even though i have an MA in Social Personality Psych - these are just my own ideas off the top of my head.
If a person is committed to a life of truth telling, self-sacrifice -in geater and lessor ways is part of it. IN order to tell the truth all the time one must be prepared to face the music in life, or the firing squad in corporations or be prepared for the poop to hit the fan. Corporations in my opinion are allergic to truth at the customer centric level. At the top they espouse it but like harsh parents, they often make lying far more rewarded and punish truth that they do not enjoy. If they blew it on a major account or city by denying the customer what they need by refusing to ship it into the country when the accounnt uses tons of a product and few others do, this is a defensible corporate position but they have to then realize that this loss of account was by their own choice and own up; Telling or reminding them of the truth is then quite unpopular. If you tell your friend about her huzbands affair you have to be prepared for the fall out (I sure would have appreciated a heads up and not shot the mesager but many others do shoot the messanger..Jul 4 2012: Myfanwy, Self sacrifice for famiily members is de rigeur and most people of my aquaintance can managei to do it= I think of it as simply suirrendering ones self interest to a higher goodor higher level of self interest.
Your point in your final paragraph is excellent. I call being successful at that being our 'best selves". If not for our loved ones. for whom would we do it? I love how charitable your final anlysis is. Yes, people get swamped and try to 'cope" which produces even more rubbish in the world. I like the way you framed that - it expands my way of thinkning. Thanks for that. Improper use of power is a perfect example, to my mind and at one time or other most people have done so..Jul 6 2012: Great dialogue.
We all self sacrifice in one way or another. Big or small, it happens.
If one looks in the mirror everyday and really looks, it is hard not to want to be the best that you can be regardless of who is around.Jun 29 2012: In today's world, particularly western society (but it is spreading in other kinds of cultures if it wasn't there already),
I believe very strongly that too many people worship lies. First they were taught untruths, so that hearing the truth upsets them. If one were raised with the truth, my feeling or sense of it is that they would welcome it, deal with it and be grateful for it.
And it is very subtle. So much so that most cannot recognize it and resist seeing it. I have a friend who is owed a lot of money for work they did but the person who owes them has suddenly told them their work is no good and so, viola, a reason not to pay them. What they have done is worked out a deal to get only one sixth of what they are owed, by doing even more work, which adds up to working for nothing. When I told them what to do to get their money, they resisted, saying that if they did that, they wouldn't get any money and that would be the truth. But not getting paid is the lie and it is the lie they are settling for and accepting as the truth, when it is anything but.
As things continue the way they are going, the only power and weapon the average citizen will have is the truth and it is very powerful but it has to be awakened, put into action and trusted. It is being buried too quickly and as one might imagine, you cannot cover up the truth with truths, you can only cover it up with lies.
Jun 29 2012: Hi again Random,
It is very true! People accept non-truths/dishonesty as their reality and it becomes their own personal lie.
I have seen too many times when people lie to themselves that they don't deserve better or that they don't have a better choice, and we all know there are usually more than one choice in any given situation. Some choices are obscure and some choices are the choices less taken, but are still these choices are there for a reason.
I wonder if there is such a term as a pathological self-liar?Jun 29 2012: Maybe the ones that have lost trust in others had abusive parents and the child had to lie to protect itself from mom and dad. When a child cannot trust their caregivers that pretty much sets up a child to be mistrustful.
And you are right that if said person has a personal history of lying they are more likely to suspect the same in other people. Yes, it would take some special effort for that person to begin healing. A good therapist is invaluable and can point out the errors in a persons critical thinking skills. A highly skilled therapist. I do find though that most people only tell the truth when it does not hurt them. If lying is expedient, most (not all) people will indulge. That is why any business deal must be on paper.
Hey, oddly enough I listened to a podcast on lying on How Stuff Works. Listen if you are interested.
Jun 29 2012: This is an interesting perspective and something i have been wondering about because I recently had to terminate a relationship which was important to me because the lies about unimportant stuff distorted my world.
Jun 29 2012: Good thing you terminated the relationship Debra. There are some people that just lie. Pathological liars. I have found that people that lie just for the heck of it are not to be trusted. Most of these people are quite gregarious - entertaining folks. Many of them will use you anyway they can and it will be a one way street. They will also steal from you if they get the chance. They talk about what they are going to do for you, but they never quite get around to it. They will even tell lies about you to other people if it serves their purpose. Next to murder perhaps pathological lying comes next on the list of misdeeds.
Your insight about "unimportant stuff distorted my world" was very telling. Pathological liars are known for creating their own reality.
Jun 29 2012: Thanks for your helpfulness,Sandra.Jun 30 2012: In addition to "pathological liars...create their own reality", they probably have no room for others in their reality but themselves. =/
Selvakumar C
Jun 29 2012: Being truthful and living a life of truth is not the easy way. Many prefer the easy way which could in a way mean being tactful or not saying the truth.
- +2
In most cases the truth that is twisted or presented in tactful manner as they call is definitely not truth.
Jun 29 2012: I cannot agree that truth cannot be presented tactfully. I can say let's go brush our teeth, rather than your breath stinks, can't I?
Steve C
Jun 30 2012: "let's go brush our teeth..." May smooth-over someone's fragile ego -- if they don't see the subtle switch. But if they do, then they know that you merely think them shallow. Now it may've been a long day and maybe there's a reason for stinky breath; maybe you could crinkle-up your nose, then ask them if your breath stinks too.
- 0
"...your breath stinks," is fine if they know you really do care for them - and they have enough integrity to appreciate that care.
Steve C
Jun 30 2012: I think it's been said that the surest way to ruin the truth is to stretch it a little.
- +1
Many do prefer the easy way, it seems. But perhaps they have their own hard choices.
Truth that is "tactful" does not really seem like the truth - nor even the most important thing that could be said in a situation - "Your goldfish is dead," is useful knowledge; "I feel bad for you," may be more important.
I think I'd appreciate a truth-teller. It only becomes pathological when they believe that the facts are more important than me.
Jun 30 2012: Ah! That does put a new spin to the topic, "It only becomes pathological when they believe that the facts are more important than me", I was glad to read this.
Steve C
Jul 4 2012: (Thanks for the +1, hope this helps you)
- 0
I'll restate "...are more important than me," means "...pathological when... facts are more important than an equality of openheartedness." I think.
Perhaps the pathological truth-teller is the "heads" to the "tails" of a pathological liar. Both may give a lot, but withhold what really matters.
Luke Hobbs
Jun 26 2012: Doesn't it just come down to the way the truth is told? What may seem kind to one person might be a slap in the face for another. Just because we're being considerate of another person's stance doesn't mean we have ot lie. I just think it strange that when we hear "the truth" we think it has to be bold, harsh and uncaring.
- +2
Jun 26 2012: Aha! That is something new to think about. Why do we associate truths with bold, harsh and uncaring things or are truths or "honesty" just that bold, harsh and uncaring?
I think we associate truths with bold, harsh and uncaring things is because it is often times something we don't want to hear about. Like when the reality is that someone is born disfigured, people usually try to be kind and tell the child they are special and beautiful, but the truth would be that the child looks abnormal from the common person. I have also considered that when we see something "abnormal", people think fix the abnormality by surgery and such....what if these abnormalities are evolutionary traits for us to survive, but they look abnormal or disfigured to us...that is another topic I suppose...
I think that brings in another point I have yet to mention. A pathological truth teller is placed in a setting of social situations, but in professional situations, I believe, the truth teller would excel in life, though frowned upon in social situations; hence, awkwardness from this pathological individual being in these social situations.
Jun 26 2012: Could this, though, not just be the case of children not being taught to speak the truth in respect to others, and having enforced in them the importance of tone? I for one think tone is the absolute fundamental in communication rather than the literal word.
I find that Western culture does not enough take into account how words are spoken. For example, I detest how court-rooms read out words in a neutral tone and totally take away from the vocal emphasis of what was said. A man could say sarcastically to his wife "I'm divorcing you", yet be read out in court as if he said seriously to her "I'm divorcing you." I find we've become very clinical in how we speak. We've substituted the grace of Oscar Wilde for the bluntness of Judge Judy.
I think in the case of social awkwardness that comes down to the others, not the pathological truth-teller. So then "should" the pathological truth teller even be concerned for other people's actions?Jun 26 2012: I don't think anyone is assuming that "the truth" is bold, harsh, and uncaring! The way the question was posed, asking how we would feel about a pathological truth teller, in is natural to think of the cases in which a problem might arise rather than the vast majority of cases that raise no problem.
I would guess that most people tell the truth almost all the time and depart from that standard only with little white lies when someone's feelings might be hurt.
I would further guess that most of the lack of truthfulness in daily life is in the technically-true-but-misleading category rather than the lying category. A case that comes to mind is releasing an unpopular decision and saying it was run by a specific person everyone trusts. The claim suggests but doesn't explicitly say that that trusted person lent his support to the position. The whole truth- perhaps not expedient- would have been to say it was run by the person but he opposed it.
It's hard to feel proud of that kind of truth telling if that is ones practice.
Luke Monahan
Jun 25 2012: In my opinion, always saying what your believe is true in each moment is a childish and oversimplified view of honesty.
- +2
Quite often the full truth is just too much to communicate. Our interactions are limited by time and the primary concern is always going to be objective based.
Besides, even the classic example is flawed because we communicate on multiple levels.
When someone asks "do I look good in this?" they are likely to take the answer to be a comment on their physical appearance rather than their appearance specifically in the outfit they are wearing.
If you know from experience that they are going to take it as a comment on them rather than the outfit then saying that it looks good when the outfit specifically looks bad can be a truthful answer.
You could try to be specific and say well you look great but the outfit looks terrible but some people are stubborn and determined to take things in a specific way, the other party may still take offense and assume that you're insulting them or their fashion sense.
The problem with telling the truth is unintended implications. When you encounter someone that is determined to take negative implications, you can spend hours backpedaling and getting nowhere.
This may sound like I'm talking about someone that is neurotically sensitive about their appearance but you can encounter the same sort of determined combative attitude with sensitive social issues like genderism or racism.
The bottom line is that truth takes a back seat to practicality for a good reason. There are people that do not want or cannot handle being told the truth and fighting against that is just bashing your head against a wall for no reason.Jun 25 2012: Derek, Tough question. Answers from fall in love to mnoral and ethical issues. Is there one among us without sin? Linda Taylor appears to be such a person but calls it bending the truth. Bending, gray, white lies, etc ... all say the same thing. Not the whole truth such as the pathological truth teller of your question who does not or cannot see gray.
By defination pathological indicate a disease or disorder is present. By defination this person would be submitted for treatment in the same manner as the pathological lier. Both being equally offensive to society.
I respect truth and honesty but fail to be totally (100%) truthful and honest. I would enjoy this person for a while and then as would most of us tire of the company.
All the best. Bob.
Jun 25 2012: Whew, at least I am not pathological. Do you mind telling my kids that?
I really think it is how you classify lying. If you think lying is telling an untruth that is one thing. But if you think lying includes partial truth and refusing to answer, then it is a broader definition. I do not speak untruth. Not out of some philosophical or religious lofty ideals. Really, it just simplifies relationships.
I think the reason I only consider lying as speaking untruth is because I speak more than one language. Lying is not generalized like that in all languages.

Too much of anything is bad. I would also feel sorry for a such a person as the one seems to be trapped in a prison created by nature itselfJul 6 2012: Great Question.
It would seem a "truth blurter" would be one of those people that in whatever situation they say exactly whatever is on their mind regardless of the outcome. If one was listening to this person, would 100% of what they were "blurting" out be truth? Truth and opinions are two different things.
"Do I look good in this" is subjective. You could look amazing in something and ask the pathological truth teller and because they have to pee real bad or have something in their contact, they say whatever you want to hear. For that moment, that is their truth.
Sitting in counseling with someone that you trust and you might have been working on an issue that until this moment has alluded you. Today is the day that you hear the truth. Today is the day you put all the puzzle pieces together and are able to hear it.
Kids/babies are the only pathological truth tellers, that is until someone has told them to see the world differently. When a baby cries when it is being held by a stranger and stops crying when held by its mother, that is truth. We lose that ability and are told its rude.
Religions have their truths. They may not be the truths of everyone.
Truth of Evolution vs Creationism.
As we get older our truths become more opinions rather than truth.Jul 4 2012: This would be a great person to be around because if I want his honest opinion he'll give it,
if i don't want his opinion I won't ask him and i'll believe what I want.
Jul 6 2012: Truth and opinion, same thing?
Jul 13 2012: I don't think truth and opinion are the same thing sarah, but after this whole discussion I have come to my own conclusion that truth is something perceivable or "just is" like the truth of the matter is I had a hair cut, but others honest opinions differ from person to person.
Hope that made sense sarah. =)Jul 4 2012: Hi Debra!
I wasn't sure where to respond to your comment, so I will start this comment for your comments already made in the conversation, recently that is. =P
I found that many others in this conversation have used the term "truth" loosely as I did and I believe I should replace my use of truth with honest/y/ies, though truth seems to fall in place for my topic somehow, so I am not certain that I found a consensus in my judgement for what is "truth" and a "pathological truth teller". May I have some assisstance from you to bring my mind to a consensus?
Truth is, as James says, is something that exists; a pathological truth teller is more of a constantly honest person?
I am discovering new things about me as this conversation unfolds, so please bare with me on this journey into my mind. =P
Jul 4 2012: HI Back to you! Good morning!
I too am being wonderfully challenged to think and re-examine my thoughts. I love some of your theoretical work and would add that I had such strict parents that a directive to tell the truth meant -tell everything you know including the colour of your underwear. It took me sometime to realize that my thoughts belong to me and that I choose when and where to share them.
Part of what you seem to be discussing is perseveration which is common in prefrontal head injury.In Some cases people simply speak before their brain is in gear and comment relentlessly on whatever they observe. Quiet is an anathma to these fearful people.
JaeHun Shin
Jul 1 2012: I think the point here is not to find whether the truth is universal or different among the people but to talk about how we react to the people who tells the truth(opposite word to lie in this context) even though the situation is not appropriate for the truth. In my case, If I meet the person who pathologically lie without caring other people's feeling or being aware of the atmosphere in the situation where the person belong, I will think about what makes him or her behave that way. Maybe it might be due to the dysfunction in some part of the brain if the word "pathological" is concerned, but repeating in telling the truth does not neccessarily mean it is "pathological". I am not sure if the question here concens about only the pathological truth teller, but if not, I think I will try to understand that person as much as I can rather than reacting passively to what he or she behaved. In other words, I will focus on his or her bahavior rather than focusing on mine.

Jul 1 2012: That is the ultimate form of empathy. I think we could learn a lot and help many people if we try understand the other persons behaviours and personality. Thank you for your thoughts JaeHun! =)Jul 3 2012: JaeHun, Thank you for this comment. I agree. Did you know that damage to the front of your head ([pefrontal lobes where thought and emotion are integrated) might be involved with lying?

Jun 30 2012: Probably nothing, but if they got really annoying or I found their truth telling to be hurtful, I'd lay down a paradox on them or something and watch their head explode.Jun 30 2012: Unless that person was a mind reader, just laugh

Jun 30 2012: If I was to meet someone that always tell the truth I think I would buy them lunch and study them. At least ask them a lot of questions. As I move about business and social circles I want to be as truthful as possible, But the holdup is not the concept of dishonesty in lying. It is the tactfulness in truth. Truth can be brazen but it can also be tactful. I think a lot of us need to learn the skill of being tactful. I will often use the example of Will Smith. He has a jovial easy going attitude that comes across as truth telling but with a caring attitude. Think of him in MIB when he has to comment on the car or something.... its funny, appears to be his honest feelings, but said in a way that fits his personality and comes across more tactful than brazenly stating the car is terrible. So if my wife asks "how does this look?" Do I answer with brutal and mean honesty "That looks like ugly" or do we ( I mean me) learn to be truthful but tactful in a way that blends well with our personality ...."hmm. I do not think it suits you. It seems to be designed for a different type of woman"
- +1
So If i met that truthful person..... I would like to ask them how they do socially, in business, with loved one or children. What methods do they use to tell the truth and incorporate tact. How do they demur a question. or do they consider that in itself lying. etc
Jun 30 2012: I like your comment Leo,
But the only problem (which is normally reoccurring) is that everyone usually assumes that the scenario in the clothes store is a girl, but I challenge the idea to say it is a guy. =P
I often ask other people, usually, if what I wear looks decent. Just my honesty. =)
Jul 1 2012: I can live with that. I usually do the same when I ask my wife about what I am wearing.Jul 3 2012: If you want your wife to be putty in your hands - a man learns quickly to tell her what he likes on her. It is pretty simple in most cases. IF asked tell her- she will do cartwheels to look good to you. Last weekend i had a date and it was an important occasion for him. I wanted to look appropriate so I laid out four outfits and asked him to choose his preference and he put together a fifth that turned out to be perfect (who knew he would have such a sense of it or care enough to do so?) I felt beautiful all night, and the outfit was perfect for the occassion - fairly reserved, quote feminine and comfy.

Jun 30 2012: Ah, thank you for that insight Ed.
Could you elaborate a bit more about attained being, egoic mind, and Eckhard Tolle?
Also, someone in this conversation that said something about truth being relative to the individual and the better term may be honesty. Possibly that indvidual tells nothing but their honest answer, as far as their knowledge can stretch?

For example: A blunt statement will be perceived differently depending on whether its delivered by a typically tactful person, or a typically blunt person.
For me, the topic question doesn't seem hypothetical. For the past 27 years, I've known a person who I believe fits your description of "Pathological truth teller".
She wouldn't have told the woman her son was dead, but she typically made a terrible first impression on new people she met.
The first time I met her, I thought she was very rude. But, people who had known her for a long time seemed completely comfortable around her, and unphased by her apparent rudeness.
As I got to know her, I too became very comfortable around her. She wasn't malicious. She didn't have hidden agendas. You didn't have to watch your back around her. You always knew where you stood. She was very trustworthy. She loved her family and we loved her.
Jun 30 2012: So, she is the type of person that would tell you "I don't think I like you very much after that specific comment you just made", or she makes comments like that after you ask her "where do I stand on your list of likeability?"?
There was an insightful comment made that I would like to note made by Steve C (below).
"It only becomes pathological when they believe that the facts are more important than me."
So, your friend probably takes some consideration of your feelings, but is generally really blunt?
Jul 1 2012: I don't think feelings were much of a consideration, not because she didn't care about people, or because she believed the truth was more important than the person. Feelings weren't much of a consideration because I don't think she understood feelings very well; even her own.
Regarding your first paragraph, she wouldn't have made the first comment and I would never have had reason to ask the second.
Jul 2 2012: Her personality sounds like it is an aquired taste, but I am interested in meeting this person, or someone similar, someday.
Thanks for the clarification John. =)
Myra Sohail
Jun 30 2012: Since this is a strictly hypothetical question with a very broad range of possible scenarios, I don't think there is any absolute answer. Also, I think any answers to this question would be situation-specific. For example, the variability of "truth" may have a very large range when the truth-teller is asked for, say, an opinion. How can you possibly measure "truth" here?
- +1
Jun 30 2012: Very True Myra,
I definitely agree with your comment.
In addition, I would llike to add that, being prepared for the unknown is the best way for preventing something bad from happening. Sometimes discussing something hypothetical, but still realistic, will prepare you for the worst. It is like saying that "hypothetical disasters aren't important to prepare for", but if disaster hits, then preparing for it will help most, unless you make really great split second choices.

Could I "handle the truth" from reading people's minds? As a teenager, I don't think I could, but I'd value the total honesty from being able to do so if I could now.
Jun 29 2012: Sometimes, the most childish and elementary questions are the most pure, potent, and impactful. I grew up with parents that said I questioned too much, and other adults during my academic years also told me I asked too many questions. Now I still ask too many questions regardless what some people say, though I ask it at a more timely manner now. =)Jun 29 2012: I have learned from one of my high school teachers that all you need is to ask the right questions, and in my english class in college I learned how to ask these hard questions. =)

Jun 27 2012: As you said, their remarks can be hurtful.
- +1
Even though they are not liars, we can't be sure that they are truly 'truthful'.
Maybe their way of saying can be a bit blunt and too straight-forward(it can also be shallow).
But the thing is... I don't think they are good people in a way that they only tell the truth to other people.
It's just their kinda unique attitude. You know, they could have used more polite way of saying(such as euphemism)....If they had considered the feelings that their friends had.
Real truth-teller is more profoundly honest.
Sometimes a pathological truth-teller can be a liar when they really need to be brave.
Hope this makes sense. :)Jun 26 2012: The person that said "it looks hideous on you" may be telling the truth, but it is certainly not a helpful statement. Indeed, it is a hurtful comment. A more kind approach would have been "I don't think this store caters to your particular style." Let's go to Dilliards where the clothing is more to your taste. The person has told the truth and her friend's feelings are not hurt. I have to wonder about people that feel they must tell the brazen truth.
Jun 26 2012: What are your thoughts on people who tell brazen truths? Are they damaged, crazy, or is it just their nature of being?Jun 26 2012: My ex husband once told me that I was "terminally honest' - so honest it will kill me. He might be right but as i said below, I try never to use truth as a weapon.
Jun 26 2012: That's funny Debra, I was just thinking today if someone interested in using truth as leverage, do politicians and criminals use truths as leverage and at the end gaining status/rank in the world?
Jun 27 2012: If it is ever truth in their cases it must only be a partial truth. It is interesting to note that even a little bit of lying undermines all the trust you might have built up. It is important to assertain a person's motivations because some people may not be great at sticking to the facts.
Jun 27 2012: I think you are talking about informational spin, but I meant that some politicians and criminals use someones "truth" or secret to motivate another person through fear. That lead me to think that, do most powerful or just successful politicians and criminals capitolize on other peoples "truths"? The answer seems like a 'yes', to me, and I was thinking, "what if the other person didn't hold their secret to be the "truth", so they would just be able to tell the world of their "truths", I think?Jun 27 2012: Derek, YES! I think that there was a TED talk not long ago by an expert who said that only the criminals need your name on a bank card - so they can usse your info against you. In a case like mine, if I am willing to be transparent, life is easier. i have nothing to worry about if i do not have to worry about exposure because the threat has been eliminated through life style.
PS, I did get your point wrong- thanks for helping me understand. I appreciate the patience you have shown me.
Jun 27 2012: It takes two to do the tango of patience my fair lady. =)
I give big thank you back. =)Jun 28 2012: I find it ridiculously helpful and meaningful to me, especially now, to experience such kindness from TEDdies. Thank you. It made my day and it took me a whole day to try to respond but it made for a great day.
Jun 28 2012: *Warning: Generic Response Activated*
Ditto to your above comment. =P
You, and others like you, make my day as well, and also gives me great hope and drives me to continue pursuing my life passions. =)Jun 26 2012: It may be a bit late to jump into this but:
isn't anyone who is pathological already somewhat maladaptive, compulsive and habitual in their person? Thus, they really couldn't be "truthful" because there is some ulterior motive, disease, phobia or twisted understanding of the world, reality, in which they live?
I don't see how honesty, as one poster suggested, "is often more about making excuses for or justifying egoic speech..reactions, judgements, strong opinions, fear anger outrage etc." Honesty is not being deceptive or fraudulent. I do however think that Western culture not only gives too much power to words (as do many cultures, or all of them), that they should no longer have, but also listens very carefully to how something is said. Western culture is neurotic in this regard and the entire Western culture now believes it is wise and makes sense to second guess every and anything another says, thus preparing the truth and honesty to be torn to shreds and destroyed, all in the Western worship of lies.
None of this conversation seems to include first raising a child with a balanced ego as opposed to just accepting that we will all have an ego that is out of control in our adult years, i.e. Sensitive, suspicious, conniving, deceptive and self-deceptive.
I personally believe that it is possible to speak honestly and truthfully about things that may be considered judgmental, but to speak them non-judgmentally. How another takes those words, is then strictly up to them and not the speaker's concern. Lying by the way, is not wrong, immoral or really harmful, unless it is done to children and this is something more and more parents are doing according to recent surveys in the last few years. I propose that lying is the main cause of mental illness in children, other than real organic causes, and this is what many if not most parents have been doing during the last 70 years or more. Try using real honesty, truth and love, along with building trust first.
Jun 26 2012: Hi Random!
It is never too late to join a conversation and a timed conversation seems a bit intimidating, never thought of that.
You also bring up a fresh perspective to this conversation. Let me first direct you to one of Fritzie Reisner's comment:
I quote her: "There is a difference between not lying and conveying the truth openly. "
So what if the person just constantly conveyed the truth openly, instead of a pathological truth teller, how would your response change, in respect that this is my original intent of my topic?
Jun 27 2012: Hi
I can only think of various experiences I have had, meaning my reactions or responses.
My last girlfriend and I never fought, but one evening, as we were going over bills and who owed what, she suddenly said that she got the feeling I was feeling like she was trying to f**k me over.
It came out as a direct question. I told her that my ego felt that way, but I was all right with it, and suddenly the tension was gone.
Five years ago I stopped believing in a god. While in conversation with a Christian, he suddenly asked me if I knew what God was. Well, I knew what I knew. I knew what I believed, and I felt comfortable and capable of not only defending myself (if need be) but also tearing apart an attack, if that is what was coming. In a blazingly fast, split second, all my responses, proof, etc. rushed through my mind, and then they were followed by the recognition that I didn't need to do that or go there, and that some voice said to me, "why don't you just listen?" So, said, "what is God?", and he told me. In a flash, I knew what he meant, and I agreed. He next told me never to tell another human being what he just told me, and I haven't.
It seems to me that respect was present in both instances. Respect for myself and respect for the other. The only way to learn to trust others is in trusting yourself not to hurt another. It starts within each person and is given outward to another. If one already has it, then there is no need to demand it, expect it or need it. But it will be given.
So, I don't know. Sorry. But, take for instance Eckhart Tolle. I cannot read more than a sentence or two, at a time, of his words. There is so much power, truth, simplicity and wisdom in what he says, conveying truth openly, and yet there are many who try to tear down his reputation, his ideas, his position, etc. without really grasping what he is saying and conveying.
So I don't really know. I'll post a poem.

To me watching Fedor fight he wasn't a flashy fighter, so unless your some what educated on grappling,sambo,bjj, or wrestling he didn't look that great, but got his hand raised in the end. Not a boxing expert so take lightly. His striking wasn't great, but he was a heavey hitter, and it was good enough for the times to either get ahold of you or damage you enough to finish them.

Building Instructions for DogChaser
I hope the pictures are good enough to demonstrate the proper placement of pieces. Some of the pieces you might be wondering what they're function is - I add some pieces on the underside to keep the cables from scraping the ground... another piece on the neck keeps the cables to the Ultrasonic and Sound sensor under control.

Did all of the pieces for DogChaser come from the NXT retail/educational version (570+ pieces), or did some of them come from your personal stash of stuff?
It looks like all of the connectors you used are included in the commercial kit, but I can't tell for sure without building it.

The DogChaser is a real charmer! (I built it with my 12-year old son).
I'm glad to see that folks are posting some NXT builds for kids. I like to see the "mega builds", but kids need inspiration, too.
We're looking forward to your "NXT Mayan Adventure" book. (We pre-ordered it yesterday from Amazon).

Thanks, Rick... I appreciate it. Glad you also enjoyed building the DogChaser... I'm going to try and provide building instructions for another robot next week... maybe even weekly for a while... have a LOT of ideas and now I've actually got time to build some of them because my book writing duties are done (for now).

Domestic and exotic: The former refers to homegrown fare, but also implies the docility of a family pet. The exotic suggests foreign origins, along with alluring connotations of things that are strikingly and excitingly out of the ordinary. But you know what? GM's spectacular new LS9, the 638hp heart of the upcoming ZR1 Corvette supercar, is a stunning amalgam of both. It's certainly domestic-though you can throw out that whole docile thing-built with an exact mix of handbuilt attention and technological precision at GM's Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan. And as for exotica, calling this engine striking and exciting hardly does the thing justice. It is, after all, simply the most powerful production engine GM has ever created. This is our ultimate inside look at this impressive creation: We explored its conception and design and even participated in the meticulous assembly process for one of the very first examples.
In talking about how the LS9 came to be, it's important to remember that nothing happens in a vacuum. It's impossible to separate the development of the ZR1 from the development of the tremendously powerful engine under its hood. In fact, talk of the LS9 started hard on the heels of the introduction of the LS7, then the pinnacle of GM small-block development. What, 505 hp in the hot-handling Z06 wasn't enough? It never is, as Dean Guard, small-block chief engineer and program manager, pointed out. "You don't have to be a fan of Corvette to know more is always better," he observed. "Corvette customers always demand progress, so there's always something on the drawing board."
In this case, what was cooking on the engineers' slates was the "Blue Devil," a prototype vehicle that embodied GM's desire to build an ultra-Corvette that was every bit the equal of Europe's wildest supercars. The key to making it happen was the synergy between the Corvette team and the powertrain team. The challenge to the Corvette team was to make a definitive automotive statement. And for Guard and his colleagues, "Frankly, the challenge to the powertrain team was to deliver ultimate performance." But it couldn't have happened without the ZR1 Corvette. Said Guard: "After all, you can't do something like this and put it on a shelf, right?"
So, on to the heart of the matter: the 638hp, 604-lb-ft LS9. For convenience's sake we'll start at the top, with the prominently displayed Eaton R2300 supercharger running at 10.5 psi of boost through a liquid-to-air intercooler setup. Why a supercharger, we asked? "With the LS7 at 505 hp, that's about all there is," Guard confessed. "With drivability and non-trivial emissions and diagnostic concerns, we had to enter the charged arena." And though Corvette has a turbocharged history with the Callaway Corvettes of yore, it wasn't to be this time. "Supercharging is preferable to turbocharging," Guard explained. "There's better packaging, and it better handles the thermal and emissions challenges." Then there's the availability of the sixth-generation supercharging technology from Eaton. Guard called it simply "the best charging tech available."
Besides the fact that the typical supercharger whine is nonexistent, the powerband is tremendous. GM Powertrain's numbers show the engine as making 320 lb-ft of torque-at only 1,000 rpm. The peak of 604 lb-ft happens at about 4,000 rpm. Most impressively, according to GM, the LS9 is producing 90 percent of peak torque from 2,600 to 6,000. Can you say massive acceleration, anytime? According to Ron Meegan, assistant chief engineer, "The sixth-generation design of the supercharger expands the 'sweet zone' of the compressor's effectiveness, broadening it to help make power lower in the rpm band." This is, of course, done without sacrificing the tremendous high-rpm power the LS9 produces.
Quick Notes
What We Did
Got the real story behind GM's most potent engine ever, and helped build one of the first production examples
Bottom Line
638 hp and 604 lb-ft backed by a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty
$103,300 for a LS9-powered ZR1 Corvette

If we look at the major programming languages in use today it is pretty noticeable that the vast majority of them are, in fact, interpreted.
Looking at the largest piece of the pie we have Java and C# which are both enterprise-ready, heavy-duty, serious programming languages which are basically compiled to byte-code only to be interpreted by their respective VMs (the JVM and the CLR).
If we look at scripting languages, we have Perl, Python, Ruby and Lua which are all interpreted (either from code or from bytecode - and yes, it should be noted that they are absolutely not the same).
Looking at compiled languages we have C which is nowadays used in embedded and low-level, real-time environments, and C++ which is still alive and kicking, when you want to get down to serious programming as close to the hardware as you can, but still have some nice abstractions to help you with day to day tasks.
Basically, there is no real runner-up compiled language in the distance.
Do you feel that languages which are natively compiled to executable, binary code are a thing of the past, taken over by interpreted languages which are much more portable and compatible? Does C++ mark an end of an era?
Why don't we see any new compiled languages anymore?
I think I should clarify: I do not want this to turn into a "which language is better" discussion, because that is not the issue at hand. The languages I gave as example are only examples. Please focus on the question I raised, and if you disagree with my statement that compiled languages are less frequent these days, that is totally fine, I am more than happy to be proved mistaken.

|A homemade substitute for Heinz chili sauce made with tomato sauce and paste, lemon juice and a mix of seasonings.
Homemade Chili SauceI was already nearly done with stacking groceries on the belt at the grocery store, when I remembered that a couple of recipes that I wanted to make use bottled chili sauce. Doesn't that always happen?
A quick glance near the checkout told me it wasn't gonna be close enough at hand to just do a run and grab, so rather than having to get back in a line for a couple of items (and probably finding another handful of things I really didn't need along the way), I decided I'd just go home and try to make up my own homemade version.
You may have noticed that I like using chili sauce in just a few recipes:
Really, it's a great substitute in many recipes where you would normally use a little ketchup.
Now... just to clarify, chili sauce is not what you think of when you think of the word "chili." There are also no beans involved in chili sauce such as with a product called chili beans, and it's also not the same as the red sauce that we use in some Tex-Mex dishes, such as red enchiladas. It's really a tomato based condiment, somewhat like a dressed-up ketchup I guess.
Now... I personally love the flavor of Heinz chili sauce, don't get me wrong. I've used it for years, I'll certainly continue to use it and it'll always be a handy go-to, but if you find yourself with a recipe that calls for it and you're in a bind and without, this sauce can be made up quickly, right from pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand.
I keep dollops of tomato paste in my freezer and that's perfect for using here, so if you don't already follow that tip, when you open up a can of tomato paste, you'll know what to do with the leftovers!
Here's how to make my homemade chili sauce.
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Reviews for Lemon Grilled Salmon
Sort By :
"I have used this since it first came out in the "Taste of Home" magazine many years ago. Wonderful flavor. I DO double the marinade ingredients, however, for more coverage as the fish marinates in the dish or bag. My children have greatly enjoyed the teriyaki flavor and the lemon slices provide a great presentation."
"My sister and her husband like to grill. This is one of their favorite grilling entrees. It is very easy to prepare."
"i made this recipe last night, i also let the salmon marinate for 3 hours in the fridge turning itoccasionnaly . Did cook it on BBQ on double non-stick alumiinium fold. i keep the temperature at 350`F and cook it for 20 minutes.it was just mouth watering, not dry at all for salmon."
"Love, love, love!!!"
"I have been searching for a great Salmon recipe....and this is definitely IT!!! The brown sugar adds just a hint of sweetness and my neighbors and family really loved this flavor! The dill is not overpowering, and adds a distinct flavor to the salmon. AWESOME RECIPE and easy to prepare!!!"

This is my first blog entry, and depending on its reception I'll determine whether I'll begin making this a habit.

My interest began to dissipate as the product began to decline, and I eventually stopped watching all

Hey everyone. This is my first ever attempt at writing one of these so apologies if it is hard to read or doesn't come across with fully coherent arguments.

The WWE IWC has been a buzz lately. With CM Punk appearing at indie shows and Comic Con, people are wondering how long this story will go on for; is CM Punk still under contract, and what can he do before it becomes a legal/discipline problem.

Recently Miz has come under some "criticism" and why you might ask well lets begin!
Many people including myself were very excited of the future of the Miz after he won money in the bank a year ago. He was a young cocky star whose move-set wasn't the best and relied on striking his opponent but he had an ace in the hole being that he could cut great promos. In 2010 he held

Taxi drivers ask Barrow Borough for fares to be increased
Last updated at 13:57, Tuesday, 08 May 2012
TAXI drivers are pleading with Barrow Borough Council to raise tariffs, amid fears fierce competition for fares is posing a threat to passenger safety.
Prices for the town's 181 hackney drivers have been frozen since April 2008, despite surges in fuel costs, insurance premiums and other running expenses.
Drivers claim this means many are earning less than the minimum wage, and some are forced to work up to 20 hours a day just to make ends meet.
Robert Laurie has worked as a hackney driver in Barrow for 17 years, and said some cabbies were getting so desperate for fares they were a risk to themselves and others.
He said fatigue, stress and tensions between hackney and private firm drivers were a potentially explosive mix that could be eased by higher tariffs.
"They're having to work those hours because the income's so bad," Mr Laurie said. "No one's making any money at all.
"The average, if you're lucky, is £4 an hour, and tempers are rising.
"It's every man for himself out there and unless it's sorted, it will lead to violence."
Hackney cabbies work mainly from the town's ranks and are outnumbered almost two-to-one by drivers from private hire-only operators.
While private firms have discretion to set their own tariffs, hackney drivers are completely at the mercy of the town hall.
Mr Laurie, who works 54 hours in an average week, has presented the council with a detailed report into the costs associated with being a hackney driver. He said the tariffs, which start at £2 before midnight and rise to £3 after midnight, have contributed to ever-shrinking profit margins and added competition for precious fares.
"When I first started this job 17 years ago you didn't even overtake a fellow taxi going down Abbey Road," he said.
"You followed that car all the way into the rank and pulled in behind him and nobody ever picked up behind anyone else.
"That's what I'd like to see come back, because it's just total chaos."
Fellow hackney driver Ted Clark has 20 years' experience behind the wheel in Barrow, and said there were simply too many cars serving too few people.
He said the economic downturn meant fewer late-night revellers in the town centre on Friday and Saturday nights, meaning drivers were increasingly reliant on the limited daytime shopping trade.
He said as a result many taxi drivers had to rely on welfare payments to top up their weekly wages.
"It's like a subsidised job," he said.
"There's more taxis in this town than there is in the whole of the rest of the Furness peninsula."
Barrow Borough Council's health and safety team leader Owen Broadhead said at this stage, there did not appear to be enough support within the local industry for the council to consider rising tariffs.
"I can confirm that a rise in the tariff for hackney carriages has to be requested by the majority of the trade before it can be taken to the licensing sub committee," he said.
"We have received a recent petition which is in favour of a rise and as this has only 25 signatures it is some way short of the requirement."

Have your say
I'd like to take the time to reply to one or more of these comments, if I may? To Barry Green:- There is not a little "clique" between the Environmental Health Dept and six drivers trying to dictate fares and where ranks should be. These few drivers take time out of their day, for free as they lose what work there is, to try and help a growing problem with the trade in town and also the dangers that are beginning to concern Barrow police and highways. They were not elected as it was done impromptu as a matter of safety, a meeting was requested and a rapport was struck up between all parties involved. Unfortunately, you have been told (or led to believe) that it's some sort of 'conspiracy' to hinder everybody else in the trade and if that is your belief, then nothing anybody can say or do will change that! As for the free advertising for City Lynx, good on you.Terence Brown:- I do not understand what you are trying to say. Sorry!The taxi trade in Barrow has fallen behind everywhere else within the locality and needs to be brought in line with todays cost of living. This will not happen overnight and will take time, luckily, most of the general public realise this. Barrow taxi rates are very reasonable and when people visit the town, they cannot believe just how cheap they are. Finally, I am not saying this as an outsider, I have been in the trade for over 20 years and have worked in quite a few areas of this country. I currently earn less than I did in 1996 and believe that fares need to go up to cover ever rising costs. What should have been going on was a yearly price rise in accordance with inflation but this has gone by the wayside. It's also wrong that there must be some sort of proposition put forward before a committee before a price rise is even considered, let alone agreed. This should be decided by the licensing officials who have been appointed.

A magic bindle for your bike: swallows everything you put in it but doesn't take up any room itself. Your map sits there and stares you in the face, handy little pockets for your highlighter and sticky bar. Attachment to your handlebars is tight, no flapping in the breeze. Construction seems pretty solid.

I've had the BarPack on my Suzuki DR650 since 2007 and it functions as my tank bag. It holds maps, camera, keys and a few other small items. The mounting to the handlebar is well designed and over these past 5 years, I've only had to replace the zip-ties once. I like to have my little camera handy while traveling and the front map pouch works perfectly for this. I can remove the camera with my left hand, click a shot and put it back in, without even looking down. The velcro is strong and I'm impressed with the build quality. I'm currently on a RTW trip (JamminGlobal.com) and consider the BarPack essential to my riding gear :)

Thanks! It was 5 hours of pain n pleasure! =]
Eccentric middle-aged woman who would rather have no boundaries than be boxed in..whether it is literally or figuratively. First heard KoRn in 97..FOAL fan here lol! First show was Sick n Twistd in 2000..and then It's On! First online KoRn site was the cartoon one..where I joined Elementree school with Mr Jonathan Davis as Principal...when I flunked Kindergarten! Joined the online kornboard community where I have met some of THE MOST AMAZING ppl to which some are my dearest friends. KoRn concerts are my most fun and memorable happy moments! I have never felt as close to any OTHER BAND EVER as the guys have always provided their fans with accessibility ..love and affection. =] As an audiophile who has attended many many concerts in her lifetime so far..KoRn IS THE BAND who's sound just BLOWS THE OTHERS OUT OF THE HALL! What was Linkin Park thinkin at Project Rev 04? For me..NO BAND can close a show after KoRn..cept maybe IMO..Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. I hope this explains my love of this band. *curtsies* =]
What is going to happen in 2012? Is all this talk just bullshit? LOLs I remember the whole millennium scare. All it took to fix that one was to add 4 digits to the year in all the computers ...that was easy. lols However..if we have a pole shift as a result of a massive solar blast..i just don't know. Plus even though our government is focused on the budget crisis..they won't comment on any...

This season has been anything than consistent for Rick Ray and Mississippi State basketball team.
The Bulldogs (7-15, 2-8) have been hit with injuries, suspensions and at times that has caused them to have only six scholarship players.
Ray suspended junior guard Jalen Steele before Saturday's loss to Florida. Steele's suspension will continue for Wednesday night's 7 p.m. game against Missouri at home.
"It should be the same that we had for Florida," Ray said of the number of scholarship players for the Missouri game on Monday's Southeastern Conference teleconference.
It is unclear if Steele will make the trip for MSU to LSU on Saturday. With Steele's suspension still in effect, the Bulldogs have only six scholarship players and eight men on the roster.
The lack of depth has made it tough for Ray to put a consistent five on the court.
"It's a by-product of, first of all, not having enough guys to put forth a team where you can constantly have the same five guys," Ray said. "Also, we've had some problems here with suspensions, so that changes things in our starting lineup."
Mississippi State is also young. The lone senior scholarship player Wendell Lewis has been lost for the season with a knee injury.
The Bulldogs consistently play three freshman and two sophomores.
"The other thing is just the youth and inexperience that we have on our team," Ray said. "Some guys are going to go through lulls or hit that wall where you need to get them out of the starting lineup and bring them off the bench. Some guys, because they're playing better, deserve to get in that starting lineup."
Picking a starting lineup hasn't been that tough for Ray. Against Florida on Saturday, MSU used its seventh different lineup of the season.
Ray knows with the low numbers everybody will get minutes.
"To me, it's not that big of a deal who's starting and who's not starting," Ray said. "At the end of the day, with this team, you're going to play. You're going to play significant minutes, so it's really not that big of a deal."
In the SEC today, Kentucky at Florida and Alabama at Georgia are the featured games. Other than Mississippi State hosting Missouri, Wednesday games are Ole Miss at Texas A&M, Tennessee traveling to Vanderbilt and Arkansas at Auburn. The lone game on Thursday is LSU at South Carolina.
Besides State traveling to LSU, Saturday features a full slate of games. Kentucky travels to Tennessee, Auburn hosts Florida, Alabama will be at home against South Carolina, Missouri is on the road at Arkansas, Vanderbilt host Texas A&M and Georgia travels to Oxford to take on Ole Miss.
Missouri looks
to win on road
It's hard to win on the road in college basketball and Missouri is well aware of that.
The Tigers are 0-5 this season on the road and 0-4 in league play.
"(If) you look at the numbers, we haven't defended well on the road and we haven't shot the ball as well on the road," Missouri head coach Frank Haith said. "Teams are going to play better at home than they do on the road."
The Tigers first two games on the road in the SEC were at Oxford and Gainesville, Fla. The Tigers lost 64-49 to Ole Miss and 83-52 to Florida. The Tigers were without Laurence Bowers and Keion Bell.
"(In) the first two games we played at Ole Miss and at Florida, we weren't healthy," Haith said.
The Tigers had a chance to beat LSU and Texas A&M on the road. They lost by three to the Bayou Bengals and by two to the Aggies.
"The last two we played better at LSU and A&M," Haith said. "We just didn't finish those games. We're still not defending like I would like us to do. That's all a mental-toughness type thing. I'm hoping we can get that going here down the stretch because four of our next five are on the road."
Georgia currently
on 5-game win streak
The Georgia Bulldogs (12-11, 6-4) opened the SEC season 1-4, but since then have won five-straight games.
The Bulldogs of the Peach State got the steak started with a 59-52 win over Texas A&M on the road.
"Our team had a slow start to the year and never really became confident," Georgia head coach Mark Fox said. "We've just been fighting uphill most of the season. That day in College Station, we beat a team that we have great respect for. We beat good basketball team. That helped us have some confidence."
During the streak, UGA has beaten A&M on the road, Auburn at home, South Carolina and Tennessee on the road and A&M again this time at home.
The Bulldogs are playing their best ball of the season, but Fox still sees areas where his team can improve.
"There's a lot of room for us to improve," Fox said. "We have been for the most part pretty good defensively. We've improved throughout the year offensively. Now we have a lot of guys who are chipping in and making a couple of plays every game. We are playing like a team."
The Bulldogs put their win streak on the line tonight when they host Alabama at 8 p.m.
Stokes, Noel
honored by SEC
Tennessee's Jarnell Stokes and Kentucky's Nerlens Noel earned SEC Player of the Week honors.
Stokes was selected as the player of the week, while Noel the freshman player of the week.
It's the third week in a row Noel has won the honor. Noel averaged 10 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in wins over South Carolina and Auburn.
Stokes averaged 18 points, 10.5 rebounds, two assists and two steals in games against Georgia and South Carolina.

Ormandy has released a scathing 30-page analysis "Sophail: Applied attacks against Sophos Antivirus", in which he details several flaws "caused by poor development practices and coding standards", topped off by the company's sluggishly response to the warning he had working exploits for those flaws.
One of the exploits Ormandy details is for a flaw in Sophos' on-access scanner, which could be used to unleash a worm on a network simply by targeting a company receiving an attack email via Outlook. Although the example he provided was on a Mac, the "wormable, pre-authentication, zero-interaction, remote root" affected all platforms running Sophos.
Ormandy released the paper (PDF) as an independent security researcher and concludes: "[I]nstalling Sophos Antivirus exposes machines to considerable risk. If Sophos do not urgently improve their security posture, their continued deployment causes significant risk to global networks and infrastructure."
