I happen to believe in a higher power but do not believe in anything supernatural. I'm sure this has a lot to do with my coming to my belief as a fairly science literate, science positive person who spent most of his life as an atheist. If I believe that a thing exists, I then see it as an aspect of nature, not a thing outside of it.
If, like myself, you except the tenets of evolution,all products of humanity are products of nature, as human nature is a facet of nature. All written and spoken languages, music, visual art, technology, philosophy, and so on, are results of The Big Bang.
If you could go back in time a couple hundred years with a functioning smart phone, I don't think you would have much difficulty convincing most people, who would yet to have even seen a photograph, that this device which produces music, photos, video, and that facilitates both written and spoken long distance communication, was the product of wizardy, when, of course, we all know that the phone is merely a product of technology.
As for my belief in a higher power, it has a lot to do with my feeling that, as any atheist will tell you, nature and evolution unfold at random. I read up on one experiment designed to demonstrate how random construction occurs. Take a tumbler and insert some nuts and bolts and let her rip. and after a time, some of the nuts and bolts will begin to thread together. This demonstrates how nature has eventually resulted in such as Earth and life and you and I at random. What I have derived from studying chaos theory is an understanding of order and what you might call disorder as things that exist in degrees, and that seem to exist to some degree simultaneously in everything, including manufactured objects that may appear identical to us, but are not really identical. Same with twins, fingerprints, snowflakes, and so on. In chaos there is nonlinear order, the blending of things like symmetry and asymmetry. Any group of trees, clouds, or peaks and valleys in a mountain range, or people, has degrees of similarity, and characteristics that make them recognizable for what they are. Yet they are all also distinct. Not identical. That's nonlinear order.
In terms of looking at nature, you can look at all of its random aspects, and say that there is no element of intention in them. But I sincerely believe, without an issue with things like evolution, that this is only looking at one aspect of a duality. There is randomness, (And distinction and individuality) everywhere in everything, but there is also symmetry, similarity, patterns, and order. If you only look at those things you may convince yourself that everything was meticulously designed, which is not what I believe. I think that the circumstances happen to be in place by which order, complexity, evolution, and life, obviously could come to be, but also that they were inevitable because of the degree of order and the degree of likelihood of our eventuality, as well as any and all other life, here and elsewhere. I think, then, that life does not exist as a weird anomaly, but as an inevitability of the laws that govern nature and which science examines, explores, and describes. And I do not think of this in terms of "intelligent design" in the usual sense.
Getting back to that tumbler and the nuts and bolts, where by analogy did the tumbler of the universe come from? It came from a Big Bang. And why was there that Big Bang? Well who the hell knows? Why also did it happen to result in a universe which, very early into its projected life span, has resulted in all that is, including all order, complexity, and life? The experimenter with the tumbler does not stop the tumbling and reach in and screw the nuts and bolts together, which is what people usually mean by intelligent design. Design intervention, if you will. However, that tumbler itself was designed and manufactured, as were the nuts and bolts with their matching threads. A power source for the tumbler was made available and it was accessed. The tumbler was plugged in. And then someone put those matching nuts and bolts into the tumbler and threw the switch. Otherwise, no random threading of some of the nuts and bolts. Why not instead pour yogurt into the tumbler, or a drawer full of silverware, or just leave it empty and let it run?
Well maybe you get a sense of where I am coming from anyway. VERY long winded. An outrage I say! Burn this man at the stake!

(I probably should have said "embryonic" rights above, rather than fetal.)
Einstein was a hard determinist. Would some people have a problem with calling this principle of cause and effect in a predetermined fashion, if it is truly pre-ordained, a "higher power"?
It would mean all of human affairs, your so-called 'free will', and so forth is governed by something "higher." If you posit that hard determinism is true, then obviously, it means that you can never make a spontaneous act; you nor anyone else was ever in control of their actions or thoughts. If hard determinism is true, then everything that has been happening has just been going on by virtue of natural laws that nothing in the universe can contradict, especially human beings. Couldn't that be thought of as a "higher power"?
Let's not confuse determinism (the belief that every event is the result of a prior event) with predeterminism (the notion that events of the past and today set forth a specific and certain and unavoidable future). Determinists allow for some randomization from the subatomic level, thus making the future beyond the now unpredictable.
I'm not confusing the two. I deliberately stayed away from using the word "determinism" by itself. However, you're right, whenever someone brings up that oh, so vague word "determinism" much confusion ensues. Thank you for bringing up this point, Unseen, so now I'll take a little bit time to make it clear of what I meant in my previous post.
I'm asking people to postulate hard determinism for a moment, not the type of determinism that most people equate to "adequate determinism" that allows for indeterminacy somehow (which I don't personally believe in).
You see, if you postulate a hard determinism (predeterminism), then couldn't this be seen as a "higher power"? I mean, we go about our lives thinking we're in control or we have some influence on the outcome of events, when, if you were to suppose hard determinism, we truly don't at all. We all, in a sense, have to succumb to a "higher power."
Now, I'm not saying that predeterminism is the case and this is how the universe truly operates, I was just wondering, instead, if anyone would even consider it a kind of "higher power," if hard determinism were the case.
I may have posted this before, or not, but there was a recently deceased guru of India by the name of Ramesh Balsekar which defined "enlightenment" as the realization or the epiphany of hard determinism. I find his logic and reasoning behind his perspective fascinating, and the way he articulates it, too.
If you don't like his use of the word "will of God," please replace it with "cosmic law" when you hear it. Because there's a phrase in the beginning where I think most atheists would just close the video, for instance, where he says, "A uniquely designed instrument through which the primal energy of consciousness of God could function." He often will change this phrasing around for atheists who cringe at such comments, and say something like, "A unique organism which is governed by a cosmic law." Of course, this cosmic law is equated to hard determinism by Ramesh.
If by "higher power" you mean following rules that are unavoidable (like gravity) then yes ... a world that is a hard deterministic one has a higher power. If by higher power you mean one that is conscious or supernatural or a fabric of galactic emotion and meaning or planned ... then no ... a world that is a hard deterministic one does not have a higher power.
Higher power is such a loaded term it shouldn't be associated with the laws of physics. This will bring about confusion and/or allow sneaky spiritualists to slip irrational arguments into otherwise meaningful conversation.
Well, yes, I meant laws of physics that are unavoidable in a predeterministic universe, but I'm not sure how you've distinguished this from your second example of "consious" or "fabric galactic emotion." If it's ultimately predetermined in either case, then why would you consider one a "higher power" and the other one not?
If I'm understanding you right, you're making a distinction between pure laws of unconscious physics against another universe that also operates by pure laws of physics, only at its essence is somehow conscious, and this conscious intent, because it has to obey these inevitable laws, isn't a "higher power."
Maybe I misunderstood you, but they seem to be one and the same thing, only you've defined one as conscious and the other not.
I never claimed that the world doesn't have a higher power. What I did claim was: if by higher power you mean a super natural higher power...then the universe doesn't have a higher power.
There is most certainly a difference between claiming that the universe has a neutral meaningless set of laws vs. claiming the universe has a set of laws which are planned by a conscious being or which was initiated by a cosmic force of goodness or that the universe works through hard-determinism mechanism infused with conscious intent. They aren't the same claim at all.
If they weren't the same, then what is the difference aside from one universe being conscious and the other is not? If they're both ultimately predetermined, then this predeterminism would also apply to the universe with a conscious intent, because wouldn't this conscious intent be just as predetermined as the neutral laws of physics of the universe devoid of conscious intent?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. Perhaps you can elaborate, but these concepts are a bit weird to play with, anyway. I mean, we're throwing these terms out there like a "conscious intent that lay behind the universe." But I'm not sure how to think about this universal consciousness. Is it a kind of overmind of some sort, is it something like the Brahman of Hinduism, is it something like the Anima mundi, but applied universally, is it a panpsychism? In any case, if it is ultimately predetermined in both instances, my point is that objectively, the two hypothesized universes would operate similarly, the only difference is that we've defined one as conscious and the other not.
Davis: There is most certainly a difference between claiming that the universe has a neutral meaningless set of laws vs. claiming the universe has a set of laws which are planned by a conscious being or which was initiated by a cosmic force of goodness or that the universe works through hard-determinism mechanism infused with conscious intent. They aren't the same claim at all.
Jimmy: If they weren't the same, then what is the difference aside from one universe being conscious and the other is not? [...] In any case, if it is ultimately predetermined in both instances, my point is that objectively, the two hypothesized universes would operate similarly, the only difference is that we've defined one as conscious and the other not.
Aw, come on, Davis. You don't get it. Consciousness and lack of consciousness are the same thing.
Take a large pepperoni pizza as an example. I mean, what's the difference aside from one pepperoni pizza being conscious and the other is not? Objectively, they operate similarly, except that you've defined one pizza as conscious and the other not.
It's ironclad logic.
I'll quote Davis here:
"There is most certainly a difference between claiming that the universe has a neutral meaningless set of laws vs. claiming the universe has a set of laws which are planned by a conscious being or which was initiated by a cosmic force of goodness or that the universe works through hard-determinism mechanism infused with conscious intent."
The point I was trying to make is conscious or not, as long as hard determinism is the case, consciousness doesn't have any influence in the sense of projecting a "free will" that would effect the outcome of events. Even with our own consciousness, as human beings, if you posit the notion that hard determinism is true, our conscious intent would not imply an open future. It's going to unfold in the one and only inevitable way that it can unfold in order to abide by hard determinism.
But this is all hypothetical, and a lot of these concepts are slippery and vague, but I still wanted to entertain Davis' concept. Even in your own example, you mentioned a "conscious pizza," but didn't really describe in what sense is the pizza "conscious." Is it a human-like or animal-like consciousness?
Because, you see, if it were a turiya as in panpsychism, then it would possess a pure consciousness that is incapable of choosing or doing. So, it would therefore appear to be stoic, unresponsive, and objectively indistinguishable from the pizza that didn't possess this type of consciousness. Likewise, as in the two hypothesized universes, Davis said in the quote that the universe with conscious intent also adheres to hard determinism, so you'd have the two hypothesized universes that may objectively appear as twins, except one defined as conscious and the other not.
Aw, come on, Davis. You don't get it. Consciousness and lack of consciousness are the same thing.
I'm not saying Davis "doesn't get it." I said I may be interpreting this idea wrong. After all, he introduced it, and that's why I asked him if he could perhaps elaborate. I just thought it may be interesting to entertain his concept. My original question that I posed was if hard determinism was true, would people consider this a "higher power" because all human affairs would ultimate fall under the principle of preordained cause and effect.

Bedding for your daughter's bedroom
It's got to be funky to reflect individual style. A teenage girl's bedroom is where she can express herself and give free reign to her creativity. And this season, it's all about modern, bright, bold prints and wild patterns in vivid and vibrant colors. Let's take a look at some options that can infuse new life into your daughter's bedroom:
Seersucker duvet covers
Seersucker as a fabric is summery and lightweight. It's young, fun and easy to maintain. The puckered feel and look of the fabric is often striped but is also available in solid colors. It's highly durable, cool and breathable. Seersucker bedding from The Company Store is available as a set that includes a seersucker duvet cover and sham. When you go for a set, it's easy to set the tone for the décor in the bedroom. Bright and bold turquoise standout stripes in 100% cotton mixed with shades of peacock blue and meadow green makes this set a refreshing choice for chic, teen bedroom décor.
Twin XL duvet cover sets
Duvet cover sets create a fresh ambiance in a bedroom. Once you have a twin XL duvet cover set, you can keep that as the main focal point in the bedroom and add decorative touches that complement and add to the theme or color scheme. A Hot Pink percale girl duvet cover works well on its own or with other coordinating sets. The 200 thread count cotton sheets, duvet cover is available in twin and Queen Size along with ruffled throw pillow.
Denim duvet cover
Stonewashed denim duvet covers in deep blue can make for a startling and funky look when combined with bright black and white zebra striped sheets. Teens love things that are unique and make a statement. The fabric is durable, comfortable and cool in looks and feel. Go for matching drapery and create a dazzling effect in the bedroom.

New York's 34-Year-Old St. Mark's Bookshop Seeks Cut in Rent
Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) -- The fate of St. Mark's Bookshop in Manhattan's East Village, once a haunt of writers Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, will be in limbo until late next month, when the landlord plans to decide whether to reduce its rent.
Cooper Union, the arts engineering school that doesn't charge its students tuition, owns the property. Sales at the store, opened in 1977 by co-owners Terry McCoy and Bob Contant, have dropped 35 percent since the financial crisis that hit in 2008. One year earlier, they signed a 10-year lease at a rent of $20,000 per month on the 2,700-square-foot (250-square-meter) shop. Falling sales have forced them to reduce inventory and fire eight part-time employees, and now they are seeking a rent cut of $5,000 a month from Cooper Union.
Cooper Union's board passed the request to its Finance and Business Affairs Committee, and a decision is planned for the end of October, Contant said today. The owners' struggle has ignited a public outpouring of support for the shop, located on Third Avenue between 8th and 9th Streets. An online petition called "Save the St. Mark's Bookshop" had garnered nearly 36,000 signatures as of Thursday afternoon.
"All the support feels great," said McCoy. "Especially when business is declining, you're thinking you've been forgotten. Then people hear about this and actually come in to see how they can help."
Jolene Travis, Cooper Union's assistant director of public affairs, said discussions with St. Mark's Bookshop were ongoing.
'Derelict' Neighborhood
When the store first opened, the owners were paying $375 a month for the place and the "derelict" neighborhood was languishing in a post-1960s hangover, McCoy said.
"The neighborhood was in a depression," he said. "The summer of love in the late '60s and that whole thing, the Electric Circus had been here, the Fillmore East had been here. That had all gone away, and so had business, basically."
Since then, the East Village has regained its status as a cultural hub, thanks in part to nearby New York University.
Steven Zwaryczuk, manager at the historic McSorley's Old Ale House on nearby 7th Street, said the neighborhood is a revolving door for small businesses.
"It's always been a neighborhood in transition," said Zwaryczuk, who has worked at the bar since 1973. "I've been here so long I don't even remember what the storefronts had in them before, but they were paying peanuts and they thought they were paying too much, even 30 years ago."
Rents have been steadily rising in recent years, making it difficult for small-business owners like McCoy and Contant to pay the bills each month.
'On the Rise'
"It's very active," Faith Hope Consolo, chairman of retail leasing at Prudential Douglas Elliman in New York, said of the commercial real estate market in the area. "Since we've had a great rebound over the past 12 months, the momentum continues and rents have been on the rise."
Sales have picked up this month, and McCoy says he believes it's because of the publicity about their plight.
"I really like small bookstores like this," said Damon Griffin, 24, who browsed the store's shelves earlier this week. He said that when neighborhood landmarks like St. Mark's disappear, locals "feel like they've lost a part of their personal culture in New York."
The financial crisis of 2008 "was actually the first time since we opened the store that our business really declined," said Contant.
Electronic Readers
He and McCoy said they think the decrease in sales has been related more to the economy than to the rise of electronic readers that have hurt sales at other bookstores.
In 2010, e-book sales doubled to $441.3 million, accounting for 8.3 percent of revenue from trade books, according to the American Association of Publishers.
With niche sections like cultural theory, graphic design and anarchy, the store caters to academics and special interest customers who won't find the titles they're looking for electronically or at chain bookstores.
"When Barnes and Noble was here on Astor Place, it was a citadel of mass culture," Contant said. "We were sort of like the gourmet store that featured the kinds of things that you couldn't get there."
McCoy said moving to a less-expensive space would help in the long run, though the cost of the relocation would be too pricey right now.
"You have to have a chunk of money to move and you have to build the actual space for a bookstore," he said. "It can't be done cheaply."
East Village Rents
The average asking rent in the East Village is $100 to $125 a square foot, according to Consolo. At St. Mark's current rent, the store is paying $88.88 per square foot.
Consolo said the closest comparable space, a 2,500-square-foot property on 19th Street and First Avenue, was asking $100 per square foot.
Eric Ferriello, director of brokerage services at Colliers International in New York, said that while St. Mark's rent seems "a bit high," the landlord has leverage since the shop is in a "premier location in a nice building."
"It's a unique market because there's not that much space and it's not a commercial-usage area," he said.

It wasn't the best of weeks for the Purdue men's basketball teams, as the Boilermakers (11-11, 4-5 Big Ten) dropped a pair of conference games against Indiana and at Northwestern. However, a positive from the week was the continued development of A.J. Hammons.
The freshman center was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after averaging 24.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game in the two defeats.
It is the first time that Hammons has received the honor and the first for a Purdue player since the award was instituted prior to the 2011-12 season.
The Gary native opened the week with a season-high 30 points on 10-of-14 (.714) shooting from the floor against third-ranked Indiana. He also added five rebounds and a game-high five blocks on the night.
Hammons followed up his performance against the Hoosiers with his second double-double of the season on Saturday at Northwestern, finishing with 19 points and a season-high 13 rebounds.
A season-high seven of Hammons' 13 boards at NU came on the offensive glass to lead a Purdue effort that grabbed 24 offensive rebounds on the afternoon. He also matched his season high with three assists and blocked a shot against Northwestern.
The Boilermakers will travel to Penn State on Tuesday at 7 p.m. (Big Ten Network).

Marinello Chosen NWC Women's Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week
Wins Three Individual Events in Victory over College of Idaho
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University freshman swimmer Annie Marinello (Corvallis, OR/Philomath HS) has been selected as the Northwest Conference Women's Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week for her efforts in the Bearcats' victory over College of Idaho on Saturday, Jan. 12.
Marinello took first place in three individual events and helped WU win the 200-yard medley relay, as the Bearcats downed the Lady Yotes, 121-111.
Her first win of the meet was in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:02.74. Later, she added a triumph in the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:34.22. She achieved her third individual win in the 200-yard individual medley, giving WU a 110-105 lead entering the final event of the day.
WU took an early lead at the start of the meet, after Marinello and teammates Michaela Zuber (Fr., Sacramento, CA/Sheldon HS), Malia Santos (Fr., Kailua-Kona, HI/Kealakehe HS) and Erin Parkinson (Jr., Everson, WA/Ferndale HS) were victorious in the the 200-yard medley relay. Marinello swam the second leg, helping Willamette earn a time of 1:59.84 to win by 4.45 seconds.
Marinello claimed sizable victories in all three of her individual wins. She won the 200 freestyle by 6.66 seconds, finished first by 12.26 seconds in the 200 breaststroke and achieved a margin of 14.22 seconds in the 200 I.M.
Willamette is 2-5 in dual matches the season. The Bearcats will travel to Forest Grove, Ore. to take on Northwest Conference rival Pacific University on Friday, Jan. 18 at 6 p.m. (PST). WU will host Lewis & Clark College on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 1 p.m. It will be Senior Day for the Bearcats.

So you want Wicket to do more magical stuff for you? Great, because I just added a wizard component to the wicket-extensions.
You probably already know, but for the sake of clarity: a wizard component is a dialog component that takes it's users through a number of predefined steps. It has common functionality like a next, previous, finish and cancel button, and it uses a transition rules to let clients navigate through it's steps.
The standard implementation of the wizard component is wicket.extensions.wizard.Wizard, and the interface that abstract what the wizard does/ could do is wicket.extensions.wizard.IWizardModel. This model knows what the current step of the wizard is, and knows what transitions are available – handy for turning buttons on and off – and how these transitions should be made (or how to delegate them). A single step in a wizard is defined in interface wicket.extensions.wizard.IWizardStep and it's default panel based implementation wicket.extensions.wizard.WizardStep. Wizard steps are responsible for managing their state (quite natural, as they are just objects like everything is with Wicket), and deliver the header and main content components (typically panels or fragments).
There is an example in wicket-examples that shows a basic use of the wizard. It shows two not-so-useful static wizards and one form based wizard. If you look at the NewUserWizard example, you can see this in it's constructor:
user = new User(); setModel(new CompoundPropertyModel(this)); WizardModel model = new WizardModel(); model.add(new UserNameStep()); model.add(new UserDetailsStep()); model.add(new UserRolesStep()); model.add(new ConfirmationStep()); init(model);
This is how a wizard and it's model gets configured. A new default wizard model is created, the steps are added in the sequence that they will be executed. An interesting note here – not visible from this code fragment, is that the UserRolesStep is an optional step. The condition is encoded as part of the step itself, but you can also externalize the condition if you prefer that.
Here is what a step looks like (the user name step, of which a screen shot is displayed above).
private final class UserNameStep extends WizardStep { public UserNameStep() { super(new ResourceModel("username.title"), new ResourceModel("username.summary")); add(new RequiredTextField("user.userName")); add(new RequiredTextField("user.email") .add(EmailAddressPatternValidator.getInstance())); } } }
The two resource models are for the header component, and will return the localized labels for the title and summary, and the two text fields will work on the parents's CompoundPropertyModel (note that using a required textfield is just short hand for using a text field and setting the required property to true).
The markup of that step looks like this (NewUserWizard$UserNameStep.html):
<wicket:panel>

 <wicket:message key="username">Username</wicket:message>	 <input wicket:id="user.userName" type="text" />

 <wicket:message key="email">Email Adress</wicket:message>	 <input wicket:id="user.email" type="text" />

 </wicket:panel>
If your reaction to seeing this is: 'hey, but that's not magical enough for me', do something creative and create a nice useful base step for your case. For example, a panel that analyzes the object (model?) you give it, and based on that creates a dynamic form. Or render an xform definition. The wizard package provide you with a basic working model, and some convenience classes, and the rest is up to you. We wouldn't want to spoil all the programming for you ;).
Check the wizard out in the next release. Hope you'll find it useful.

Love this jacket
This is my go-to jacket for chilly fall days and all winter long. I have a small - 5'7",128lb. I have it in TNF black, which is a dark grey. I actually like it better than true black - it isn't quite as harsh, and doesn't show every fleck of dirt. I wear this alone and under my NF Resolve rain jacket. I wore them both on a trip to France and Italy and it was absolutely perfect.
Whatever you do though, DO NOT DRY THIS IN THE DRYER. I always hear complaints of pills and lint and such, but if you wash normally and let it air dry, it should be just fine. I've had this jacket for about a year and it is still great.

Well, hello there. Grey hair is fashionable again? If Adam Lambert's doing it, then it must be. The Glambert was all over Fashion Week in New York yesterday showing off his new 'do. He rocked that stylin' black-and-white ensemble you see on the left at Indian designer's, Shane and Falguni Peacock's showcase, sitting front row, of course. And then he decided to hang out with … Paris Hilton. Who was very blond, very cleavage-y, and in a very tight dress, which basically translates into: same old, same old. The duo were at The Blonds show at NYC Milk Studio, and Lambert decided to go for a much stronger look. He totally overshadowed Hilton with his strong, highlighted brows and smoky kohled eyes. An all-black ensemble with a leather jacket and gloves completed the look. We know he doesn't have that hair for his guest role on the Halloween episode of Pretty Little Liars. Yeah, remember that? He's going to be giving a performance on train. Wonder what that's about! And he's not just singing once, but will have two songs on the episode. Can't wait to catch the episode. And we can't wait to see more of him glamming up the big city. Somewhere, Kelly Osbourne is screaming, "SEE, I told you grey hair was in!"

The UK Royal Air Force has lost its second Boeing CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter in Afghanistan in as many weeks, with the aircraft having been deliberately destroyed by coalition forces following a landing incident on 30 August.
All four crew members and 15 troops aboard the Chinook escaped without injury when the helicopter made a suspected hard landing, the UK Ministry of Defence says. The transport "sustained damage to its undercarriage, nose and front rotor" in the accident, which happened near Sangin in Afghanistan's Helmand province at around 05:30 local time.
"Despite all options being investigated, due to the location and the environment, the decision was taken that the aircraft could not safely be recovered," the MoD says. The aircraft was destroyed later the same day using explosives.
Another Chinook was destroyed in a coalition airstrike on 19 August after its crew made an emergency landing after coming under heavy fire by Taliban militants. The loss was the first involving an RAF Chinook since the type was deployed to Afghanistan for the first time in early 2006.
The mishaps have added to existing pressure on the UK's deployed support helicopter force, and placed increased importance on work to prepare eight stored Chinook HC3s for frontline duty from later this year.
The MoD has launched an investigation into the cause of the latest incident, but confirms that "there is no evidence to suggest that it was caused by enemy action".

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all in here,
This review is from: The Dynamics of Conflict Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide (Hardcover)
It has been quite a while since I have been excited about a book in our field. With so many new titles popping up in the standard cataloges and the shelves of bookstores, you would think there would either be 1) more to be excited about, or 2) nothing new to get excited about. Not until Bernie Mayer's brand new "The Dynamics of Conflict Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide" have I felt the resources of paper and ink, and human time and energy were well worth it.
This book covers all the things I have wanted a conflict resolution book to do. It covers all the key pieces and concepts of conflict and conflict resolution; it understands and articulates the distinction between conflict resolution and mediation; it speaks to the concerns that have been raised about social justice, power, culture, and the nature(s) of mediation.
When I have taught in the past, and in my current course in conflict management and mediation, I end up using a chapter from here, an article from there, and creating additional writings and handouts as there has not been one title that has given a good description of conflict resolution principles, used good examples from different arenas, and addressed information and questions about mediation. Bernie has done this for me -I mean us- here; the book is readable and understandable, and uses illustrative case examples to help make points clear.
In addition - and this really knocks my socks off - it isn't another how-to book for those looking to do better in their mediation business; yes, the understandings of conflict presented here will help them do that as the author explains. But what I am so, so happy about is that it is from that place where conflict resolution and the work we do in it isn't just about a profession and a business, but the meanings and values that are at the heart of it. In Bernie's words: ". . .In its earlier days it was easy to think of conflict resolution as a social movement, and to focus on demonstrating its relevance and effectiveness, creating new applications, and promoting a common set of practice principles and procedures. Now that the field is more accepted and institutionalized, it is easy to lose sight of the foundational values of our work. . . As we practitioners move from the initial excitement of creating a new field of practice to the less dramatic but equally important challenge of deepening the field's foundation and institutional structure, it is crucial that we retain a clear view of the core values of our work."
It is this 'deepening' that has caught my attention and gotten my praise. In my courses I have been talking about power sources, how the dominant culture effects the work and its appropriateness and inappropriateness, even using examples of the Roma and Kosovo. And here they are all in this book.
Bernie is also upfront about not wanting to be "overly prescriptive about what conflict resolvers should do" (he in fact concentrates on the useful ways "thinking about conflict and its resolution") or present set, rigid theories. Instead he allows the reader to take it all in and reflect on their own work and experiences and he hopes "this will stimulate readers to deepen their own thinking or to put forward their own ideas, sometimes, perhaps, by way of disagreeing with mine." Others have spoken somewhat similar words; this time you believe it.
I hope I am asked to teach again next spring. Now I have the book I would have written had Bernie not already done it.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Essentials of Conflict and its Resolution,
M. A. ZAIDI "Ali Zaidi" (Karachi; Pakistan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dynamics of Conflict Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide (Hardcover)
To understand conflict, attention needs to be paid to the differences in ways individuals approach it. The way people handle conflict is definition of who they are and how they relate to others. People approach to conflict derives not only from their upbringing and how they have been taught to deal with conflict, but their culture plays a key role. Conflict often is generated when people feel disempowered. Power is the currency for conflict whether its exercise is intentional or not; when people are in conflict their power is in play. The choice in conflict is not whether to use power but how to use it. When people try to meet their needs in face of resistance, they are exercising power. The success of conflict depends on part on how much power they are able to muster and how wise they are in using it. The use of power can escalate or deescalate a conflict. It can create resistance or overcome it. People can employ their power to create momentum for constructive dialogue and collaborative negotiations; or they can use it to beat others down and to prevent co-operation. Everyone has a choice of how to use power or how to respond to power; the one choice participants don't have is not having any power at all.
This is a very theoretical study on conflict and its resolution. Unlike other texts this delves into the core of conflict and explains it to the detail.

Mayer, a longtime professional mediator, discusses ways that conflict resolution specialists can productively think about conflict and resolution in order to help them be effective as negotiators, facilitators, mediators, and communicators. The first four chapters present concepts that are helpful in understanding the process of conflict. The remaining seven chapters discuss the resolution process in detail.

Agreed. I too wish JC good luck and the best. I also see him in D-league or in Europe inside of a year. A good player can make a decent living in the pro leagues there, so its not all bad. He's just not a good enough player at this point to grab a bench spot on an NBA team. Athletic enough, sure, but lacking the skills he'll need to play the point.
Too bad those around him could have persuaded him differently. His NBA stock would have only gone up with another year of college ball.
This game was no big surprise. Beavers repeating all the same mistakes...no defense, poor shooting, letting the other team make the plays at the end...that have cost them so many times this season. 27 games into the season, there is not going to be a big turn around from here on out. Unfortunately, the die is cast.
But hey! There's always next year.
"Balky defense" indeed....OSU ranks last in the conference in points allowed, and is ranked #300 out of some 330 D-1 teams. This team can score, but unfortunately, other teams don't have much problem putting the ball in the hole against them.
Its hard to see them getting a win at Cal or winning much on the road until that changes, if it ever does.
Another moral victory. Isn't that grand?
Have to eat crow on that prediction. Beavs looked like crap tonite.
Given the turmoil on the ASU team, its hard to see how the Beavers don't come away with a road win here. OSU by 10.
True enough...but Stanford wins by 8-10 pts if they make 75% on free throws, not counting any missed one-and-ones. OSU had several opportunites to get out of this game with a W.
Stanford's poor shooting at the free throw line made this game what it was.
Again with the threes...Beavers had about 40% of their field goal attempts from beyond the 3 pt. line. The problem is that they can't make very many of them. To me, it shows an ineffective offense that is unable to get a closer, higher percentage shot. Beavers are going to struggle mightily in the Pac 12 with that offensive strategy.
Robinson commented that the team needs to take care of its home games and win a few on the road. This game was one of those "few on the road" that this team needed to win to show they've started to turn the corner and become one of the top tier teams in the league. The season's still young, sure, but before you know it March will be coming. Time to step on the gas pedal.
It always amazes me that players get to the D1 level in basketball, yet still have trouble hitting a decent percentage on free throws. Didn't necessarily cost them this game, but similar efforts at the line in the future will cost them games. I'd also like to see a game sometime where the Beavs shoot less than 10 three pt. shots. Its one thing if they can make the three, but long range jump shots are not this team's forte.
This game is a bit of reality check after the cream puff non-conference schedule. Its always a two edged sword, that lightweight preseason...you gets some wins, sure, but I'm not sure it does much to prepare the team for the tougher conference schedule
Live by the three, die by the three
Another moral victory, I suppose. Can't this season be over yet? Yeesh....
sorry...for the double post.
The Beavers have a record of following a decent effort (Arizona) with an abysmal one, so who knows with this one? On paper, they have a good chance. Hopefully they'll man up, and play some decent basketball in the first half, then they have a shot. Seasons almost over, better make the most of the last two or three games!

I figured a 20pt. OSU loss, so my expectations were exceeded. I guess this counts as a moral victory. .
Yes, what coach is going to NOT say that all games are winnable. Arizona at McHale? No way the Beavers win that one. ASU is another matter, at least there's a possibility there, though OSU hasn't won a pac-10 on the road yet this year. This may be their best chance. If they do their normal shtick, and get down by 10-20 in the first half, then they're toast.
I take the lack of comments to equate to the general lack of enthusiasm for the level of play that OSU has the past several games. Its hard to feel optimistic after the shellacking OSU got in Eugene. Both games, given they are played at Gill should be wins, but I'd say its only 50-50 that they split. Losing both is also likely. I don't see them winning both.
I'll never understand how basketball players can get to the D-1 level in basketball, yet can't shoot the ball, or even make a decent percentage of free throws. Being tall and fast is good enough for a scholarship, I guess.
Sign of the times when a guy makes 750 THOUSAND dollars/year to coach a basketball team, of all things, and its implied that somehow he's woefully underpaid. Geezus.

Welcome back!
I hope everyone was able to start his or her semester with ease, because, of course, I couldn't. It would simply be too easy for events in my life to transpire easily. Although I am an out-of-state resident, I live approximately three hours from campus. With this in mind, I figured I should take home ALL of my clothes, bedding, jewelry, accessories and shoes. My plan was to leave most of these (mainly unused) items home, but unfortunately, I arrived to campus with more than what I took home. On a scale from novice to expert on packing, I am below the gage.
On Saturday, Jan. 11, my family stalled leaving due to the vital press conference going on about the water crisis in the "Wild and Wonderful" West Virginia (yes, I am from West Virginia for those who asked "Uhh, really?"). Due to a drastic chemical leak in a Freedom Industries facility, West Virginia American Water has banned residents of nine counties from using tap water for any reason other than flushing and extinguishing fires. Needless to say, life is pretty hectic back home. But anyway, while watching this, my parents and I engaged in a conversation sprinkled with questions on what time we planned to leave for Kent. Finally, around 4 p.m., we all squeeze into a tightly packed car. Plagued with severe motion sickness and sleepy and tingly feet, I pray to the Lord Almighty for an expedited trip.
When we finally reached campus, we immediately unloaded the car and made several trips to and from my room. With the amount of crap I brought, plus the harsh, face-scrunching winds, the luggage relay seemed endless. Breathing heavily, we all took a break to catch our breaths. My mom plopped down in my lounge chair with a straight face complemented with wide eyes. My father was slumped over hands on his knees with a bead of sweat dripping from his temple, while I stood with my hands on my head, looking up and thinking "Why did I even bring all of this stuff?!"
Slightly rested, we immediately headed to Walmart to pick up a few supplies to get me through the semester. Since I have only been to this Walmart three times, I am still unaware of the locations of certain products; this caused a little frustration from my parents since this was supposed to be a quick trip. Once we left, we debated on what places to go to eat, but indecisiveness was at its peak that night in the car. So I decided Chipotle, since they have never been there (I figured since the menu isn't that difficult, we would be in and out). First off, my dad pulled into the wrong side and made a possibly illegal U-turn, eventually parking in a "NO PARKING AT ALL" zone. Moving too fast, the workers confused my parents to the point where they were unsure of what they ordered. With our order "to-go," we headed to campus with a brown paper bag full of surprises.
I finished my food first and began to unpack years' worth of luggage. One-sixteenth finished and I realized, "Oh, I left all my towels at home." Slowly and simultaneously, my parents turned their heads toward me, rolled their eyes and, without a word, put their jackets back on and headed to the car. I asked my now male Siri to lead us to Walmart, and within twenty minutes we were back on campus.
Since my roommate was not there, my parents decided to have a slumber party because they didn't want to drive back home late. Neither stayed on campus while in school, so to witness their first night in college was quite amusing to say the least. If you want to have a good laugh, watch two adults (5 foot 7 inches or under) climb onto a slightly lofted bed. Boy, was that an interesting sight. Despite all the unnecessary and ridiculous happenings of that night, I am pleased to have ended it with the ones I love most.
In order to have a smoother trip back, I suggest you:
- Don't wait until the last minute to do anything.
- Don't take everything back home during winter break. Nine times out of ten, your belongings will not move.
- Make a list of supplies you need before going to the store.
- Parents are always going to annoy or embarrass you. Just face it and embrace it.

Last year the Redskins ended the season with Kirk Cousins taking the final snap under quarterback, not the Rookie of the Year and the franchise of the Redskins, Robert Griffin III. This was because RGIII tore his ACL for the second time in the same leg, as well as his MCL.
It's been a long way to recovery, but Robert has recovered in an outstanding pace. RGIII's will to play and win is incredible, and the fact that he is an outstanding player just made his return even more exciting.
The Eagles would start off with the ball and when they said it was going to be a whole new offense, they weren't kidding. Chip Kelly, former Oregon Ducks head coach, turned the Eagles offense into a fast, upbeat, no huddle offensive force. Vick would complete three out of his first four passes to go along with Lesean McCoy's two big gains. Those gains got the Eagles into the red zone when Vick would throw a very questionable backwards pass, which would be scooped up by Deangelo Hall for a touchdown.
Vick would fire back by getting the field goal unit good field position to cash in for three points. The Eagles would get the ball right back due to an Alfred Morris fumble on the first snap of the game for the Redskins. Vick and the Eagles would capitalize on the fumble with a 25 yard touchdown pass to Desean Jackson.
The Redskins would end up getting the ball back but throwing the ball away anyway. RG3 would end up throwing into double coverage but getting picked off by Brandon Boykins. Although the Eagles would not capitalize on the pick off, RG3 would give Alfred Morris a bad pass in the back field which would turn into a safety.
Just to sum up the Redskins offense - it was terrible to start off the game, with three drives and three turnovers. Now on the other hand, the Eagles would have the first 30 play first quarter since the 2009 Indianapolis Colts.
RG3 and the Redskins would be unable to do anything on offense as they had four straight 3 & outs, settling for punts. Unlike the Redskins, the Eagles were able to capitalize on bad plays. Vick would throw a 28 yard touchdown pass to Brett Celek, and then the very next Eagles drive, Lesean McCoy would lead them up field and Vick would finish it off with a rushing TD to make the score 26-7 to end the half.
The Redskins would start the second half with the ball, but once again, RG3 would be picked off, this time by Kary Williams. And the man of the hour, Lesean McCoy, stepped up with a big gain for a touchdown. With the score 33-7, the best the Redskins could do is try to put some points on the board for the fans.
The Redskins would deliver a rushing touchdown by Alfred Morris, then they would force a fumble, giving them amazing field position to put up more points on the board. RG3 would find Leonard Hankerson for a 10 yard touchdown pass, making the score 33-20 after not converting the wo point conversion. The Redskins would then lock up on defense and get there offense the ball back, but they would be backed up behind there own ten yard line down by 13 with only eight minutes of football left.
Robert Griffin III changed into a whole other player in the face of adversity in crunch time where they needed a touchdown. He would start the drive 5/5 for 52 yards. Eventually, the Eagles would lock up later in the drive and force the Redskins out on downs.
The Eagles would milk the clock for the rest of the game while the Redskins would ride RG3 all the way to the end zone. RG3 found Leonard Hankerson for a touchdown, getting the game within 6 points.
The score was 33-27 with 1:14 left and it was onside kick time. The onside kick would be unsuccessful, and the Eagles would get the W in the end.
Despite the loss, RG3 was on point in the 4th quarter with a high completion percentage and two passing TD's to Leonard Hankerson. In the end, Lesean McCoy was the best player on the field, contributing 184 rushing yards and a touchdown.
The Eagles racked up 446 yards of offense on 77 plays. Michael Vick went 15 of 25 for 203 yards with two touchdown passes. RGIII finished 30/49 for 329 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

I have come here a lot in the past and it has always been good. Today however, it was subpar. I ordered a side of Italian sausage and a side of meatballs with extra mozzarella cheese over both, easy right? Nope got to the restaurant, asked again it has extra mozzarella right? I should have opened the container but when I got home not only no extra cheese but none at all! Then I tasted the sausage it was dry and overlooked. The meatballs were bland and had no taste whatsoever. Even the grocery store next to the restaurant makes better meatballs! Well Santinos is definitely on my NO go to list!

I've been going there for many years & it has been very good in the past. Lately they changed the size of the dishes with smaller dishes that tip over. The pizza dough has been changed and doesnt taste like it did in the past. As much as we like the people there, we will be looking for somewhere else to go now.
Posted by Jennifer on 08/08/2013
I have been dining at Santino's for years and today I attempted to use a coupon that I received via email. With the wide use of technology the manager refused to honor the coupon that I provided from my phone. Instead he offered a discount that was more than the stated price on the coupon. I told him that I go there on a weekly basis and want him to honor the coupon or I will no longer dine there. He smiled and said good bye. Not only do I dine there a lot, I also have taken friends and my son's basketball team there. They have lost a long time customer over a few dollars.

Thanks to a helpfully geotagged photo of a tropical plant on instagram, I found out about this crazy place called Rare Plant Research. It's in Oregon City and has two cool attractions- tons of greenhouses full of tropical and unusual plants, and a big villa on a gorgeous property. I would LOVE to shoot a wedding out here someday (hire me!), it would be so good. Otherwise, you can only visit a couple times per year when they have an open house, and I'm so glad we went. The whole area was really interesting to explore and I was so happy to get to take photos of all the weird plants since we don't have a lot of that around here. I loved it! Definitely visit, if you can.
(ps this lady was also drinking a glass of wine while strollin' through the greenhouses, can't argue with that lifestyle)

From Miami we know LA has great Mexican food, but Kosher Mexican? Food was fresh, fresh, fresh, salsa burst with fresh flavor, fresh guac, fresh cilantro, everything tasty. I had tacos my wife had a burrito. Shlomo behind the counter encouraged us to try the dozen different sauces from habanero triple hot to mild roasted tomato. Great authentic flavor, even the black bean and rice side was tasty. Real mexican flavor, real stick to your ribs food if your hungry.

Kobe Ground Beef Taco tastes like a more robust ground taco meat than you'll ever get at a restaurant. The beef flavor is accentuated by the chili and herbs. It is so juicy too! Thumbs up, way up! Birria Taco is lamb and beef mixed with dried chilis and braised for 16 hours. It was like the best lamb and beef stew inside a taco. It was braised so long that it just melts in your mouth. The chilis accent the meat with a slight sweetness without burning your mouth. You'll definitely have an OMG moment or two! Thumbs up, way up! "Carnitas" Tacos is beef and duck confit slow cooked for 18 hours. Chef Katsuji really shows his talent in this meat. Since pork is off limits, he uses the beef for texture and the duck confit as a "pork flavor/fat substitute". It tasted exactly like carnitas. I'm totally serious! It's an amazing feat and I bow down to Chef Kat's skills for showing the Kosher community what pork tastes like. Thumbs up, way up! Chef Kat has daily specials. On this visit, it was Goat – Black chile braised goat Texcoco-style (small city in Mexico famous for goat barbacoa). I love lamb and goat so this was just amazing to me! The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. The braising process pretty much eliminates the gamey smell and flavor of goat, which I don't mind. I could eat this every day. If it's on special, get it! You'll definitely have an OMG moment or two! Thumbs up, way up!

It only been dairy mexican food in Los Angeles that was Kosher, until now. Great tasting. Atmosphere...kinda like a cafeteria. The food is wonderful and makes up for the atmosphere.

Better tasting Mexican food than anyother place in LA - kosher or not. Of course, having meat they don't have the cheese enchildas. You have to live with that. The servings are huge - like in Elvis HUGE! Tasty selections of meat not normally associated with Mexican cusine i.e. lamb and duck. Service is friendly. The place is small, but hamish down home.

Best food around. Kosher, clean, tasty- meat is grilled to perfection and mole is fantastic. Wanted to bring "the folks" (82 yrs. young) but was too noisy. The combination of the stone floor (very nice but sends out echo) and the loud music covering up the already loud conversation doesn't make sense. It turns out to be a place for students and "quick stop" eaters- which is fine, is that is the goal. For older people- or for those of us that want a "quiet dining" experience- it doesn't jell. Food however is wunderbar! I looove the sauces. The styrofoam take out boxes keep it in the "cafeteria only" arena. May I suggest? Keep your food fresh and good (o.k. may be larger pieces of meat- but it's really enough- I'm from N.Y.) but change the atmosphere a bit. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work though- know it's challenging!

If they can keep the fans from screaming for Senaca Wallace after the 2nd game and for McCoy the game after that the Browns will have had a successful draft.
If they want to take a chance down the line on a development QB they should go ahead. Most QBs take a couple 3 years to catch on. Strengthen the OLine and DBacks first in the draft. If we aren't going to go with Brady then trade the 2 of them for a decent QB from somewhere else. Otherwise just trade DA for a decent backup. Most NFL Backups CAN start for good teams they just have a better QB in front of them. I hope Brady's problem is confidence but based on current stats neither of them could backup the average NFL backup. Of course the history we have is that both of them will turn into Payton Manning somewhere else. It's real hard to judge College talent. DA and Brady were BOTH top shelf College QBs but don't look like they can make the next level.
Mangini deserves another year and we do need to fix some personnel problems. We also, even if Mr Lerner fires Mangini, need to keep Ryan. He is doing well with his missing DB's and leaking Linebackers. At least we are heading in the right direction. Maybe we can keep it up for the rest of the year. ???? It would be nice to be right once this year. ;-)
Hey - I was raised to love the Indians as well. Are you saying these problems are genetic ??? How nice to have an excuse. :-))
Cleveland - Ya gotta be TOUGH!
Yes and if they call an injury timeout when the team has no timeouts then the play clock runs out - bingo - end of game. Not that that will matter to the bottom line which is we didn't deserve to win that game. Major progress was demonstrated however.
There really shouldn't have been any time to have that last mistake - I doubt the NFL will even acknowlege it's ref team made a mistake. Our Dearly Beloved Brownies made enough mistakes in the 2nd half for a season.
As far as I saw he did yelll at the ref. Why waste a fine on annoying the Zebra when you aren't going to win the debate anyway. Register a protest with the NFL and realize that there really is a conspiracy of the other owners against the Browns. Also - maybe he isn't the coach we would like but let's leave the personal insults out of the comments.
Absolutely right BAPO10. This team neads some pieces. Jamal needs a legitimate replacement waiting in the wings. we don't have one. A couple of Legit weapons in the receiver corp. We need 2 or 3 OL (Backups too) some Young Defenders especially the line & the DBs. and I don't know but the QB situation may resolve itself. A good Line makes EVERYBODY look good. How come K. Orton couldn't live in Chi & looks great in Denver and vice/versa. Cutler looks average in Chi. they traded systems & Denver keeps up with their protection. BQ is a smart young man and a good athlete. Give him a good line and good weapons mix & he can get us started towards what we used to be. Which is a start towards what we want to be.
Almost forgot: I hope THIS is an abberation:
I am extremely thankful for people like Feller & Chuck Bedarik who decided to be enlisted men instead of using thier fame to be officers. Jimmy Stewart was a bomber pilot which was a profession with a 10 percent survival rate early in the war. He inlisted BEFORE the war and had to try twice despite already being a proficient pilot. He even flew a combat mission as an observer on a B52 while in the Reserves during Vietnam. We need people like that who care about our country, not our corporations and entertainment today. tHERE WERE A LOT OF THEM THEN. It's too bad Pat Tillman is considered an aberation. Wheter I like the war or not they served their country well.
I LIKE that logo/avatar WONK .... Too bad the management never actually tried to bring it back. With a little luck Monday night won't be a complete embarassment.
Throwing the entire staff out is kinda like tossing the baby with the bath water. Ryan is doing an at least creditable job with the defense. The new GM needs to get him some DB's to work with, maybe a linebacker or 2 but he's doing a good job wiith what he has. It's difficult to be on field for 3/4 of a game at NFL speeds because the offense isn't doing it's job and look good in the end of the 4th qtr.
How many laps are you guys running today. I'm hoping the am practice was abundant laps for all .... That's all that game was worth. BTW,the coaching staff should lead them all, followed by the GM,staff and front office.
Like many of the the posters here I've been a life long Indians fan. I remember hating Al Kaline and loving Woodie Held, Tito Francona, Mike Garcia, Joe Azcue etc. I grew up with the kids of some of my favorite players. Dinner at my hero's house!!! I remember straining to hear the call as Len Barker pitched his perfect game as I was out of time at the time. Unfortunately I was also able to joke about being a fan of the best AAA team in the system, most years. I thought that was over starting in the 90's. I guess I will need to go mourn for what might have been again for a while before the next game. I hope I'm being pessimistic but perhaps my grandchildren will see a World Series flag in Cleveland.
If I had a say - I'd have converted K2 to a #2 WR and found a way to rotate the other 2 or 3 TEs in. Not that it matters I'm only a fan not a professional in that sport. Really I'm just a dreamer :-)
As far as I remember there is a light at that intersection. I could be wrong but there probably should be based on traffic. It isn't going to slow anything down (There are several light to coordinate with already in the area.) and people coming off 422 are taking a right into the entrance anyway. You could put in a set of No Left Turn signs and direct people exiting on SOM Center down Bainbridge to Harper or down Krause coming out. That would get them back to 422 without turning left and impeding traffic. Which of course the Bob Evens customers do now (Turn left into the restaurant and impede traffic) all the time without previous complaint from Mr. Suit. If they put in the No Left Turn sighs into the entrance there are going to be a bunch of complaints from the Bob Evans customers & probably the Mr Tire as well .........
Why does the esteemed council-criitter want people to go 'round Robin's barn to get to what is probably a high profit (Tax-paying) venue ??? Not that I'm a Solon resident or anything but I do go to that restaurant reasonably often and patronize other businesses in the area. I really don't see why the problem. Guss I'll have to check my memory the next time I get there. Even so - Lights with turn arrows & coordination - not expending gas to go round sounds more logical .........
Hey cc34120 - Mind your "P"s and "Q"s or are you looking at the bulkdings from the Parking lot "behind" them instead of from The Terminal Tower which isn't The Forest City Building. Although it Could be.....
the Jake is now Progressive ..... Hmmmmm - that's Ok - I can still take Liberty Blvd to WRHS can't I ??? Oh - That's right, Liberty is now MLK for some reason. Hey - I've got an Idea !! Let's now play a game and see what other monuments and historical locations we can rename & Who can we stick with coming up with sponsorship money. Is the Blossom family still really rich enough to compete for naming rights to the Music Center ??? Isn't Severance due for another upgrade ? or Adelbert Hall? Do we have a Gates building at Cleveland Clinic yet ??? Who owns the rights to Whiskey island - Can we sell it to Jack Daniels or Johnny Walker ???
As a Native American I am NOT annoyed by the homage paid to Louis Sockalexis by Cleveland fans every time they cheer for the Indians. I liked the older logo better but hey - I don't expect you to agree with me, I'm probably not from your tribe :-)
It's well past time to get back to the Consitution. There is nothing in there that gives us the right to be the world Police Force but we are required to provide for the common welfare. That means Everybody's Health Care and Everybody's Education. By Everyody i mean Legal Citizens. As a aside to gottseidank - No our "Rich Uncle" has no shame. if "he" wants more he just levys it. we are No Longer being Repreented but Ruled.

"Entertainment Tonight" gives a quick look at this summer's Captain America: The First Avenger.
Dat ass.
This morning I posted Chris Evans as Captain America: The First Avenger looking all stoic on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Now I have more pictures for your eyeballs. The above pic focuses on Captain America's ass, or shield if you'd prefer. After the jump, check out Hugo Weaving as the early incarnation of Red Skull and Chris Evans shirtless **splashes glass of water on face**
That's not morning wood you're sporting. It's an excitement boner from laying eyes on this first official pic of Chris Evans in his tight, slick Captain America costume from the new issue of EW. Look at him with his star and shield and strappy thingies. He's like a cigar store Indian without the headdress, and more patriotic rags. I'm sure we'll see a teaser trailer soon, as the movie hits theaters July 22, 2011, but for now you'll have to do with just the pic, like old school Internet porn days.
Captain America solicits a prostitute in the English countryside.
New photos from Captain America: The First Avenger have hit the internet, giving a rare glimpse into the much anticipated film. The photos, which were recently shot in London, show the iconic character riding on a World War II era motorcycle. Although Chris Evans has been cast in the role of Cap, his stunt man was driving at the time the photos were taken.
I know a lot of people will be excited for these pictures, but to be honest, the costume looks kind of lame. But it's far too early to make a solid judgment. After all, I thought the initial photos of costumes from Batman and Robin were lame too, and look how that turned out. (Daily Mail via Latino Review)
See more photos from the set of Captain America after the jump…
I'd say he took the news rather well.Marvel Studios recently gave Edward Norton a polite f*ck off by informing the actor they wouldn't need him to reprise his role of The Hulk in the upcoming The Avengers movie to be directed by Joss Whedon. The studio is looking to cast an unknown, a.k.a. someone they can pay with turkey sandwiches. According to HitFix, this wasn't Norton or Whedon's idea, as the pair had recently shared their enthusiasm with Marvel about Norton returning. Norton even cleared out his day planner for the project, using puffy Hulk stickers to mark the dates he'd need open for shooting.This news doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Marvel is notorious for dumping actors in favor of the almighty dollar. They probably figure they've already got Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Don Cheadle, and Jeremy Renner, so people are going to get their asses to the theater whether Norton's in it or not. Also, during the making of The Incredible Hulk, Norton and Marvel butted heads over almost every aspect of the film. Maybe the studio is just trying to prevent the same from happening on The Avengers. Joss Whedon would put Norton in a coma with that alien-like cranium of his.
Director: Joss WhedonCast: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy RennerSynopsis: Marvel superheroes join together to kick some ass.Release Date: May 4, 2012
The international trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has HIT!!!! the Interwebz. The new footage and campy banter from Superman guy and "Arrested Development" Anne (Cowinkidink Alert!: She's Michael Cera's girlfriend on the show) are increasing my interest in this film. Not quite sure why we need to see a graphic representation of Scott Pilgrim's bladder being emptied, but I'll go with it. Perhaps in a sequel down the road we'll be privy to his prostate bar, a function those Flomax geniuses are probably toiling away on at this very moment. Check out the trailer after the jump…
Before the lesbian-haired Scott Pilgrim can live happily ever after with Ramona Flowers, he must pound the crap out of every ridiculously-clothed evildoer who has plowed her fine ass previously. Below the jump, we have a look at the character posters for each evil ex that you'll see while waiting in a snaking, mile-long line at the multiplex before being seated for your second viewing of The Karate Kid. After viewing each of her eclectic exes, I can say with all certainty that Ramona Flowers rrrrrreally hates her dad.CHECK OUT THE EXES AND THE APPROPRIATELY-NUMBERED CHRIS EVANS AFTER THE JUMP…
I haven't been too impressed by what we've seen from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, but I'll admit I may have been too quick to judge. In this first clip we see Michael Cera attempt to square-off against Chris Evans's action-star Lucas Lee. Since Lee is a Hollywood A-lister, Pilgrim will have to contend with his team of stunt doubles first. It's a pretty clever clip and the fight choreography is pretty slick. Plus, it fulfills my post-Nick and Norah desire to see Michael Cera cracked over the head with a skateboard by a gang of Amish. Edgar Wright is a genius!Check out the clip after the jump…
AICN snagged some very official looking concept images of what Chris Evans could maybe possibly look like as Captain America. Marvel has not yet confirmed their authenticity, so basically they could be you or me, probably you, jerking around on the computer in a basement, surrounded by American flags and Nazi scalps. In which case, I commend you. That's an impressive collection of Nazi scalps.More unofficially official images of Captain America after the jump.
What is it with people and their five fingers?Toby Jones is in final negotiations to play villain Armin Zola in Captain America: The First Avenger. Title not look familiar? That's because it used to be The First Avenger: Captain America. Give yourself a few days to adjust. Like when your parents got divorced.The British actor is best known for playing Truman Capote in Infamous, Karl Rove in W., and the grocery clerk with a penchant for gun slinging in The Mist. He'll be joining Hugo Weaving, who's already been cast as Red Skull, in an effort to give Captain America a really tough time. Jones' character, Armin Zola, is a scientific genius specializing in genetics and cloning. So don't be surprised when a herd of two-headed sheep stampede an entire city. (/Film)
The LosersPG-13, 95m., 2010Cast: Jeffery Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Chris Evans with Zoe Saldana and Jason PatricDirected by Sylvain WhiteScreenplay by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt based upon graphic novel series, "Ante Up" written by Andy Diggle and illustrations by Jock
"I see you." If you're on the fence about The Losers, check out this extended trailer. But please ignore its attempts at glib humor. It's probably just nervous around you. The extended look begins with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Zoe Saldana flirting the Whitney and Bobby way (closed-fist punches and motel room fires), and then jumps into an introduction to the rest of the team, despite the fact we met them already in Sneakers and The Italian Job. The action doesn't stack up to what we've seen of The A-Team or The Expendables, but it doesn't insult our intelligence by having a tank fight a jet in mid-air or giving Jet Li comedic dialogue. Plus, it shows you how to make a homemade rocket launcher. Who doesn't need one of those? Besides Whitney and Bobby. Sex, anal, and violence after the jump….
In all the commotion surrounding just who the frig would be playing The First Avenger: Captain America, we all neglected to needlessly stress out over who would play his plucky sidekick. Today comes word that Gossip Girl's Sebastian Stan will squeeze into Bucky's red tights and strike an arms akimbo pose. He is to Captain America what Robin is to Batman, what Ernie is to Bert, what Samwise is to Frodo, what Bernie Taupin is to Elton John.There have been a few different versions of Bucky in the comic and there is no word yet on how he will be portrayed in the film. You know, except for ridiculously. (THR)
Cheer up, Chris. You're set for life now.The great search is finally over! Marvel and Joe Johnston have found their Captain America. Chris Evans, the guy who wore the whipped cream bikini in Not Another Teen Movie, accepted the coveted role today. They still have to work out all the minor details in what I'm sure is a massive contract, but I can officially say that I don't have to report on this story any longer. Hallelujah!Marvel scoured all of Hollywood to find the right actor to play The First Avenger. Ryan Phillippe was in the running along with Channing Tatum and the guy with the hair from Gossip Girl, but Chris Evans emerged victorious. In your face, pretty boys! They got a pretty boy who can grow a beard for the job. (THR)
Looks like someone sh*t the bed, Phillippe.The never-ending search for Captain America could finally be ending. THR is reporting that the role has been offered to Johnny Storm from The Fantastic Four, a.k.a. Chris Evans:Evans' offer would include starring in up to three "America" movies plus "The Avengers" movies and appearances in several other Marvel movies. While an offer to star in "America" may seem like something you don't have to mull over too long, one possible complication is that Evans is committed to co-starring in the Anna Faris romantic comedy "What's Your Number?" Both are scheduled to shoot this summer.It's understandable why Evans would have a difficult time making this decision. If you read the quote above it says he's scheduled to star in an Anna Faris rom-com. Nope, Captain America seems like too much of a gamble. Fart in the face of the Gods, Evans, so you can have a chance to bang the House Bunny on set. OR ask your agent to get you out of it and BANG ANYONE EVER ALL THE TIME WITH FISTFULS OF COKE-DUSTED CASH. Your choice, really.
"Okay, Scarlett. You're good. Fellas, could you take eighteen huge steps back?"Yesterday's reports that The Office's John Krasinski was the frontrunner to play Captain America have been debunked. Obviously. Have you seen his hair? It's clearly not cool enough.So which muscle-y jerk is gonna play this guy? The list we reported on has been whittled down and a couple of names have been added. Producers are still keen on Tron Legacy's walking haircut Garrett Hedlund, though he has yet to test for the part. Mike Vogel is joined on the list by Chris Evans and Generation Kill's Wilson Bethel (aka who?).The role was expected to be cast by March 1st and has obviously run into some problems. The options in America are pretty bland and we can't just pop an Australian in the suit like we usually do. Stan Lee has really backed us into a wall with this whole America thing. (THR)

For a first timer, this milf put on a very good performance. She's a local horse ranch worker. I suggested that she wear a Western style hat and boots to the shoot. I figured it would look good while I was fucking her in the cowgirl position. This woman really enjoyed making her first porn. She did anal. She engaged the camera and had a lot of enthusiasm which I have to admit, was a fucking turn on. I came on her face twice for this video and they were both huge loads. I'd like to bring her back for another shoot, maybe next time do her in the barn at her horse ranch.
So hot. Next time do a titty fuck cumshot with her. Find more cowgirl cougars like her, especially with fake tits!
Hey you think you can hook me up with a Milf in Houston!!
Loved her. Bring her back post haste and more anal with her. Oh yea perfect facials. Keep it up
This one is just beautiful. And two facials. Oh my. Wonderful stuff. You have to have her back. And I love when you get the ladies talking about facials. Hot stuff.
One more thing, tell her not to wipe off the facial so soon. Let us enjoy her facial for a while.
Love multiple cum shots scenes but one of them should have been creampie

Eric Robertson
Evolving Wing and the Gravity of Presence
Seattle City Hall
600 5th Avenue
Fleets and Facilities Department 1% for Art
Vancouver, B.C., artist Eric Robertson's wall installation, Evolving Wing and the Gravity of Presence, draws formal inspiration from many Northwest sources. Occupying the northeast corner of the lobby and visible through a bank of windows at the Fifth Avenue entrance to City Hall, the 72-foot-long mixed media installation alludes first to Paddle to Seattle, an event that brings together many Pacific Northwest tribal groups on the water in traditional canoes. Four life-size aluminum canoe gunnels are mounted on the wall, supported by yellow cedar paddles. Where the paddle blades enter the floor, the stone is carved to represent water ripples. Framing each end of the curved wall are yellow cedar paddles measuring more than 11 feet, blades raised vertically in a symbol of honor for the Duwamish and Suquamish nations. Emerging from the paddle blades and along the top of the wall are multiple wood ribs that transform to aluminum; here the reference shifts to Seattle's local aerospace industry. The ribs recall early aircraft wings and the wing flaps of two space shuttles named after the ships which plied local waters. At the center of the artwork are spun copper cones, which resemble both a shuttle's main thrusters and the cedar bark hats worn by paddlers for protection against the elements. Robertson, of First Nations and European descent, describes the artwork as "a visual journey about honor, connection, contradiction and continuum."
