Zygmunt: Bulger is our top priority
By Jim Thomas
Marc Bulger's agent, Tom Condon, spent most of Tuesday morning in a negotiating session here with Jay Zygmunt, the Rams' president of football operations-general manager.
It was the latest in a series of meetings aimed at a contract extension for Bulger, the Rams' Pro Bowl quarterback. Before Tuesday's session, the parties had met at the NFL owners meetings in March in Phoenix, last month in St. Louis and two weeks ago in Los Angeles.
Zygmunt rarely comments on continuing negotiations. When asked about an extension for Bulger on Tuesday, his only reply was: "I just want to reaffirm that it's our No. 1 priority right now. That's really what it is."
Zygmunt declined to divulge any details of the team's contract proposal, but it is believed that the Rams have offered Bulger a contract that would place him among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league and make him the highest-paid player in Rams franchise history.
Condon did not return phone messages Tuesday from the Post-Dispatch.
Bulger has a year remaining on a front-loaded, four-year, $19.1 million contract. He received $9 million to sign, and last season earned $5,123,000 in base salary. Bulger's base salary is scheduled to drop to $3.95 million this season.
Among the salaries of NFL quarterbacks scheduled to start this season, that $3.95 million is the 11th-highest figure.
Bulger created a stir during a radio interview earlier this month when he wouldn't rule out the possibility of a holdout without a new contract. Bulger subsequently said through a spokesman that the comments were blown out of proportion.
With or without an extension, the Rams expect Bulger to be on hand Thursday when players report to training camp.
"It would be hard for me to see him not out there," coach Scott Linehan said Tuesday. "It's his team. I know he's got to take care of business, and I try to stay out of that side of things.
"But when it comes to the team, I certainly would like the leader of our football team certainly one of the strongest leaders of our team to be out there leading the charge from day one."
Other than that, Linehan's biggest concern is that Bulger's contract negotiations don't become a distraction.
"I'm Marc Bulger's biggest fan," Linehan said. "Whether the thing's done before the season, during the season, halfway through the season, it's critical that we figure out a way to make him our quarterback for the next however many years he wants to play.
"But I guess I'm more absorbed in the fact that it's critical to have everybody at camp, and focused on one goal. Then the other things, I think, take care of themselves."
There are financial incentives for Bulger to be in camp on the first day. Unlike an unsigned draft pick or a player with a franchise-tag designation, players under contract can be fined for missing camp. Bulger would be subject to a fine of $14,000 for each missed day of camp.

All I'm saying here is I hope we don't get into the whole (He's not here so lets fine him) situation. That could turn from a financial peeing contest to season ending cancer quickly.

Heads they win, tales we lose
A link at Insty pointed me to an excellent panel discussion on the illegality of Hillary Clinton's email shenanigans.
"This is just staggering in the brazenness of evasion of the legal duty by everybody at the State Department, and especially the secretary," [diGenova] said. "It is simply staggering; it's unbelievable."
No, it's not unbelievable. Many of us have followed politics since the media shamelessly chose to take sides with Bill Clinton during his scandals. We know the dynamic:
- A scandal or obvious lie comes out: Bill Clinton's perjury, Hillary's Whitewater papers disappearance, Juanita Broderick's rape accusations, Vince Foster's suicide, Obama's terrorist mentor, Fast and Furious gun-running, Harry Reid's amazingly profitable "investments", the IRS targets Tea Party groups, Benghazi, "if you like your doctor, you can keep him", etc. ad nauseum.
- If the media can get away with it, they completely ignore the story.
If not, they do cursory, biased, and distorted reporting on it, minimizing and excusing the perp(s).
- If someone (e.g. Sharyl Adkisson at CBS or Lisa Myers at NBC) steps outside the bubble and actually finds something to report on, her superiors in the media spike the story, and ruin the reporter's career if they can.
- After a few days or weeks, any attempt to raise the scandal is declared old news.
- During a Democratic administration, any illegality is studiously ignored. A faux investigation at DoJ drags out things for a few months, and then ponderously declares that there's nothing further to investigate and no charges of consequence are ever filed. In egregious cases, someone might lose a job, but not their pension, and certainly not their liberty.
- Any attempt by a later Republican politician to re-open the investigation and really try to get to the bottom of it is declared by Democrats and the media to be "off limits", "vindictive", "mean spirited", "a partisan witchhunt", and other semantically meaningless but highly negative descriptions.
- The Republican politician is then punished by the media through a series of unflattering and often downright distorted feature and opinion pieces. This attempt to marginalize that politician forever often works, at least to the extent of shutting them up and cowing them for their rest of their term.
The choices for those wanting to punish illegal and intolerable behavior such as Hillary's email project come down to:
1. Make some noise but don't really do anything (heads, they win)
2. Once they have the power, push for legal punishment, be pilloried in the media for it, and probably never get enough allies to do anything because no one else wants to be pilloried (tales, you lose)
The Democrats have learned this lesson well. They can treat the media the way a perverted stepfather abuses his stepdaughter, and the media will never offer more than token protest. The media is determined to further their own leftist vision of justice and right, and that means backing the Democrats no matter how illegal or disgusting their behavior might be.
Hillary implemented her email plans knowing that she would almost certainly never pay a price for it. She knew the press and the rest of the Democrats had her back.
Our political system has devolved to the point that major players on the left know they can break the law in any number of ways, smear opponents, cover up past misdeeds, and lie outright as needed in every news conference. They can indeed "brazenly flout" laws and ethics. I don't know what you call this system, but it's certainly not the one they described to me in 8th grade civics class.
Newspaper print circulation is down about half in last ten years
I did a couple of posts back in 2012 and 2013 about newspaper print circulation at major newspapers, compared to 2004. Seeing last year's circulation figures made me curious about how things stand at the ten year mark. Here are the results:
|+/- %, 10 years
|+/- %, 2 years
|USA Today
|LA Times
|Wash Post
|NY Daily News
|NY Post
|Chicago Tribune
|Denver Post
|Houston Chronicle
|Dallas Morning News
|SF Chronicle
|Arizona Republic
|Boston Globe
|Tampa Bay Times
As I explained in the previous posts, I focus on print circulation because, for major newspapers, that's where most of the money comes from. Newspapers do get money from the web, of course. However, most of them have minimal web-only subscription revenue, and their advertising dollars on the web are only about 15% of their print advertising revenues and growing slowly according to Pew Research. That same report shows that overall advertising revenue (including online advertising) is down just a bit over 50% for the 2004-2013 period.
I ignore the web "circulation" numbers touted by newspapers, because they're meaningless without a complete explanation of how they were measured. Unique visitors for the year? Well, people have multiple computers, and they clear their browser cache sometimes. Even when an explanation is given, those numbers can be gamed in various ways. The money is what counts, and newspapers have struggled to increase the amount of money they get from web publication over the last six or eight years. There's no indication they'll solve that problem.
Doing a bit of math on the above numbers, the drop in the aggregate circulation of these newspapers combined from 2004 to 2014 is just over 50%. Aggregate drop from 2012 to 2014 is about 20%.
Many dissipative phenomena in the real world have an approximate exponential decay shape to the graph. That is, the newspapers might lose, say, 10% of their readers each year, but that 10% is a lower number each year, so the decrease flattens out in actual counted numbers. That's my best guess for the near term future of circulation for major newspapers.
However, dropping revenue also affects quality. This hit my hometown newspaper, the Tennessean, at least ten years ago. You could see it exposed unambiguously in grammatical and printing errors. I also think the quality of the articles dropped to the point that I wasn't willing to invest time in reading them, but that's a more subjective judgment. Except for local events such a major water outage last year, I don't pay any attention to the Tennessean.
When that happens, the days of a newspaper are numbered. They enter a vicious cycle in which more people drop them because of their marginal or poor quality, and that erodes revenues further, which erodes quality further, and so on.
There's no obvious way to reverse any of that, no matter how innovative they get on the web. Advertising revenue for want ads isn't coming back; Craigslist and its smaller relatives have captured it and I see no way for newspapers to get it back. Not even middle aged people get newspapers for movie ads anymore because they can find anything they want to know on their phones immediately. Retail advertising continues to suffer as retail closures start to impact suburbia, and dead malls continue to pile up.
So, with that dead horse beaten to a pulp, what are the likely effects outside the newsrooms?
Right now, the New York Times and the Washington Post continue to have an outsize influence on political thinking. I don't think either one is going to vanish any time soon. The left will no doubt find the Times so indispensible that it will find the money somewhere to keep the lefty editorial outrage and the slanted reporting pouring out of Times Square and setting the agenda for TV news reporting. The Post, under Bezos, seems to be becoming marginally more balanced, which is a good thing.
The Wall Street Journal maintains a decent hold on center-right readers, though it's a lot more center than right these days. As the only major newspaper I read with any frequency (couple of times a month) I see the quality dropping. But for now it seems financially stable.
Almost all the others, though, are in trouble. I have to wonder if the recent successes of the GOP at the state and local levels have not been facilitated to some extent by the lack of effective opposition from the typically-liberal local newspapers. The fewer people who read them, the less able they are to torpedo Republicans and shield Democrats.
Naturally, you don't see a lot of reporting on all this in the media. They don't have much interest in exposing their own weakness. The reporting they do typically touts "total circulation", which means they get to include their gamed web numbers. USA Today also started an insert program with a lot of local newspapers, so they like to pretend that this is equivalent to regular circulation. It's rare for any of them to make their print declines front and center.
The main lesson here is that limited government types can afford to stand up to these biased media types more each year. I think that's more true at the local level right now, but I also think there are a lot of people out there hungry to see the left-liberal twits of the major national newspapers put in their place as well.
*** Update 5 April 2015 ***
It occurs to me that, if the decay in readership of major newspapers is really a bit similar to exponential decay processes such as radioactive decay, then ten years would be the half life of newspaper readership. We might then use that half-life as a rough-and-ready estimator for future declines. It would suggest that by 2024, the newspapers will have lost around 50% of the remaining readers, and be at 25% of their 2004 readership.
Naturally, there are too many real-world factors to put much confidence in such an estimate, mainly because of the "death spiral" end game for such businesses. But it's still an interesting first cut way to think about it, and it might help us detect the death spiral start point.
Welcome to the club, Ace
Over at Ace of Spaces, Ace writes:
I have long argued against a third-party split and the Nightmare Option of simply conceding the country to the liberals for 20 disastrous years.
Lots of us passed that point years or even decades ago. We've been called all sorts of names. We're told we're immature and unreasonable because we don't support people who are much closer allies to their Democratic colleagues than they will ever be to those of us who believe in limited government.
Every election cycle we get inundated with all the tactical reasons that we simply have to support whatever stuffed-shirt, big-government-friendly, Democrat-lite candidate who made it through a nomination process mostly controlled by moneyed corporate interests, using their campaign contributions and media influence.
The battle cry of the GOP loyalists is "But the Democrats are Worse (TM)". I've been through this before, so no need to rehash why I think that battle cry is worse than useless.
The main thing I would ask the GOP loyalists at this point is this: exactly what would cause you to give up on the GOP?
Suppose the GOP does win the White House and keeps Congress in 2016. What do you expect from them? Write it down. Decide on the minimum you're willing to accept to continue supporting this party that has screwed you nine ways from Sunday for two decades at least.
Ace has reached his breaking point. He's tired of the "Small government on the campaign trail, big government as soon as they get off the plane in DC" shell game.
For those GOP loyalists still left: If you have not reached that breaking point yet, what will cause you to? And could you at least admit that those of us who gave up on the GOP have a point?

Some of the week's big stories in photos [with update]
First up: climate protestors in Australia demonstrate their philosophy towards actual data about climate science:
Please savor the irony of them sticking their heads in the sand to demonstrate their own ignorance, while thinking they are supporting the leftist climate agenda.
Next, Hillary Clinton apparently has worn out her welcome in Iowa, and there continue to be questions about her health.
Oh, sorry, wrong picture. Let me try again.
Yeah, this whole "Hillary is inevitable" thing probably has a sell-by date of about February 1, 2016. Or sooner.
Finally, a feminist sets a world record for demonstrating her own insecurities, all because of this shirt.
Included in this spectacular effort: envy of other women's bodies, intelligence envy, sexual self-doubt, actual accomplishment envy, imaginary bad motives in her critics, pleasure at causing pain in others, and neediness for attention.
Most notable results of this harpy's bloviating: 1. The guy in question cried during an apology, making this bint look like a bully and 2. the shirt is sold out. So trying to shame one guy into not wearing it causes a whole bunch of other guys to wear it just to piss off feminists. In other words, about the same results that leftist collectivism usually obtains.
Hope you've all had a great weekend.
*** Update 17 Nov 2014 10:30 AM ***
And here is what happens when the gap between government and kindergarten gets too small:
Billy's predictions for the mid-term election and its aftermath
When it comes to the mid-terms, I'm about in the same place psychologically as McQ. But we might as well have some fun with this election. So I sat down and thought about what I expected from it, and came up with the following list:
- The Republicans will do well. They will likely retake the Senate and add at least a dozen seats to their House majority.
- Lots fewer people will care about that outcome than in previous cycles such as 1994 and 2010. More people are now cynical that the GOP doesn't really intend to do anything of consequence.
The default strategy of the establishment GOP right now seems to be to give the Democrats a turn, knowing they'll screw things up even worse. Then the voters will give the establishment GOP another chance, because they screw things up more slowly. Thus, the establishment GOP believes they are assured of another round of favoring their particular crony capitalists rather then the crony capitalists favored by the Democrats. Plus, they get the nice corner offices for a while.
- At least one Senate race will be close, and will go into protracted recounts. The Democrats will eventually win that race with questionable votes. (Bonus points on entertainment value if it's Al Franken again.)
- The media will not report the questionable votes and tactics used to secure the Democratic victory in #3.
- The media will be surprised at the depth of loathing for Obama shown by the election. After all, everyone *they* know likes him.
- The media will only show a flicker of that surprise before they get back to covering for and pimping for Obama.
- At least one major media figure will use the phrase "temper tantrum" or a close synonym to describe what the voters did to cause the GOP gains.
- At least one incident at a polling place will involve blacks supposedly being denied the right to vote because of new voter ID laws. The media might have to manufacture, or at least exaggerate, that incident, but they'll find one no matter how hard they have to search.
- There will be incidents of the opposite kind, like this one in 2008. Those will not be reported by the media, no matter how many there are or how egregious the violation of laws happens to be.
- November and December will see dozens of media stories on how the "ground game" failed for the Democrats. Some of those stories will infer that the Democrats' ground game was sabotaged. There will be no stories in major media of how the Democrats and their ground game failed because Obama has become a laughing-stock.
- Opinion columnists in the major media will begin to excuse Obama's almost total disengagement by blaming it on the new GOP dual majority in Congress. They'll say things such as "Why should he even try, when they won't cooperate with him?" (i.e. "bend over and do what he wants") Some will push for Obama to use even more executive power to bypass the democratically elected majorities in Congress. Some of those will be the same ones who screamed about Bush's "illegal war", even though he sought and received authorization from Congress.
- Someone will attempt to spread rumors about an Ebola outbreak in key places to depress voter turnout by making people unwilling to go out in public. Either side is capable of this – both sides might do it.
- Ted Cruz will give a rousing speech shortly after the election on what the Republicans should do. It will be ignored by the major media, though they might run an out-of-context soundbite of it to try and make him look bad.
- Very stupid social science academics will shake their heads and wonder how the voters could dislike Obama since he's such a great president. Then they'll talk about how things go "back and forth" or "move in cycles" or some such meaningless blather, as if the GOP victories simply resulted from an inevitable force of nature and have nothing to do with Obama's screwups.
- Allies of the establishment GOP, such as the bloggers at Hot Air, will immediately begin justifying why the new majorities can't possibly do anything of consequence. I'm guessing their catchphrase will become "Don't expect too much."
- Allies of the establishment GOP will claim that the election results show definitively that the GOP needs to nominate a moderate for president in 2016. I can't predict what tortured logic they will use for that conclusion.
OK, that's enough for me. How about our astute and intelligent commenters add their own?
Wondering why there are few women in tech? Here's the perspective of someone in tech.
Via Instapundit and Bill Quick, I've noticed discussion about this Forbes article on why females are under-represented in technology companies.
As someone who has spent an adult lifetime in the tech industry, let me suggest an angle that I didn't see in this article, and which I have not seen in other similar articles.
Most jobs of any consequence in tech companies require people to successfully write code at some point in their careers. Writing code is a very unusual human activity. In addition to logic skills and some other cognitive capabilities that the articles usually do touch on, there is one aspect of it most people outside the industry have never thought about: you must be comfortable being wrong and prepared to constantly acknowledge and fix your own mistakes.
You are wrong a few dozen times a day. The computer tells you (via a compiler error or problem in the running program) that you are unambiguously wrong, and you *must* figure out how to fix the mistake before you proceed. The mistake can't be overlooked or ignored. It must be fixed, and to the exacting standards of a machine with no emotions.
And here's where I think the problem results in disparate impact between males and females: the computer is invulnerable to pleading, sweet-talking, eye blinking, hair tossing, lip licking, or any of the other things a substantial fraction of young women have learned to use to get their way in the world, via persuading a male to take care of it or overlook it.
Think, for example, about all those famous stratagems for getting out of traffic tickets, and the jokes about wanting to use one and finding out the cop is female. Whether feminists like it or not, that behavior is common among young women, and it's common because it works in many social situations.
Whether you think it's cultural or genetic, woman are less comfortable in the harsh reality, hard edged world of writing code. I think it's at least partially because it goes against how they have learned to deal with the world around them. Because the computer isn't a person, and certainly not a male, their best social skills avail them nothing. Plus, they have to be completely comfortable being told flat out "you are wrong about this – deal with it" many times a day, every day.
This is hard. No one likes being told that they are wrong. I know plenty of men who can't deal with it either. But I think women, on average, have less experience with it than men.
There is evidence to back that up. For example, there is research confirming that teachers pamper girls in school. So, from a young age, and given our current educational system, I think a male is less likely to have someone overlook their mistakes.
There are certainly amazing and talented women developers. I know some and I've hired some. In fact, I've hired a larger percentage of the women candidates who interviewed with me than men. I just don't see that many of them.
I strongly challenge the idea that the disparate numbers are due to sexism at the level of the technology companies. In the ruthlessly competitive world of tech, we'll take talent where we find it. I don't care about a candidate's gender, race, religion, sexual preference, or anything else irrelevant to the prime consideration: can they effectively write software?
In fact, given the current lop-sided proportion of men in the industry, in many cases a qualified woman actually has an advantage! Men are hardwired by eons of evolution to prefer to look at a woman across a conference table than another scruffy, bearded, overweight male nerd. Male decision makers, in my experience, simply never turn down a qualified woman due to sexism. (I supposed there are Neanderthal male decision makers out there who do, but in a long tech career, I've never met one.)
So, to the extent that gender matters at all, women typically have the better of it. But decision makers can't afford to let that factor override the need to perform. Anyone running a software development team knows the dangers of having someone who can't deal with the harsh realities of being told they are wrong and figuring out how to fix it many times a day. One of the prime characteristics I look for in interviews is defensiveness, which usually indicates an inability to deal with being wrong a lot. Such a person (male or female) not only fails to contribute much, they degrade the overall ability of the team to get things done.
I don't know how to fix this comparative lack of women in the industry, and I would certainly like to see it fixed. But expecting university computer science departments or tech companies to do it is silly. Any solution is going to have to go a lot further back in a female's life than young adulthood, and involve a much bigger effort than just encouraging more girls to enter science fairs.
The pathetic bias of the New York Times, summarized in two pics
(This screen cap done at 9:00 AM CST 15 June, 2014)
We've known that the New York Times has been part of the palace guard for Democrats for quite a while.* But this is a new low.
If 18 minutes of lost taped conversations in Nixon's White House is good for weeks of coverage, surely close to two years of lost emails from someone accused targeting the president's political opponents is even more important.
The story has been on the networks' web sites since Friday (NBC, CBS, Fox) plus outlets like Forbes, the Fiscal Times, and lots of others. Given that, no serious, objective media outlet would ever ignore the lost IRS email story for two days, and leave it out of their biggest edition of the week. Not the "paper of record". Not the publication that brags it contains "all the news that's fit to print".
But that's exactly what the Times has done.
The Washington Post is marginally better. No front page story, as the story manifestly deserves. No original reporting, even though the story is in their own backyard. But they do have a couple of Associated Press reports in two sections Politics and Business (yeah, Business – I don't get it either).
If you still think the Times and Post have not chosen sides politically, then you are a willfully blind, naive fool.
*Occasionally a decent article slips through, or perhaps is done as camouflage to bolster the idea that they are serious objective journalists. They stopped fooling anyone connected to reality quite a while back.
Trying desperately to make sense of the Bergdahl mess
When something happens in the public sphere, we never know all the details. But usually we know enough to build a plausible mental model for how it all went down. Based on the actors' previous actions, the context, and what we know about the ideological battles at any time, we think and hope we have some level of understanding.
But then something happens that makes no sense at all. It could only happen with a level of incompetence or malice that we intuitively don't believe is possible, even in those public figures we despise.
The Bergdahl situation fits that description for me. Here are the links directly from Drudge on the whole thing, in case you're not up on the latest:
Reintegration: Military hides Bergdahl from public view...
FLASHBACK: 'Converted to Islam And Taught Captors Bomb Making Skills'...
NYTIMES: Left note explaining desertion before going AWOL...
Pentagon knew whereabouts but didn't risk rescue for 'deserter'...
Never Officially Listed as POW...
CHARGE: Soldiers died searching for him...
Former fed prosecutor: Release of Gitmo terrorists impeachable offense...
CHENEY: U.S. will 'pay a price'...
Freed Taliban leaders given hero's welcome...
Toobin: Obama 'Clearly Broke Law'...
Three years since consulting Congress...
FATHER: 'I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners'...
Anger explodes...
You can get the gist from the headlines. This guy has been gone five years – notice that I don't say "missing" because the NYT says he left a note that he was deserting before he left, and apparently his location was known. He was exchanged for five Taliban leaders in Gitmo who were welcomed as heroes back home – and it looks like that was done in clear violation of the law concerning Congressional notice about such releases.
On top of all this, the Taliban said back in 2010 that Bergdahl apparently converted to Islam and collaborated with the very people his unit was fighting.
If that's all true – and there's no indication otherwise at this point – then the Obama administration gave five enemy leaders their freedom to retrieve a traitor who went over the enemy voluntarily and didn't seem in any hurry to leave. There is no conceivable upside for the United States that I can see.
Now, maybe all kinds of things will come out to challenge this interpretation. We'll wait and see.
I rather hope so. Because as it stands, this simply doesn't make any sense.
I can think of several ways this could get through the White House, but note of them seem any more likely than any of the others. Here are the possibilities I can think of off the top of my head:
- Nobody at White House knew the details on Bergdahl because they are all incompetent boobs who don't know how to do due diligence on anything
- Somebody at White House knew, but was afraid to say anything because Obama (or Jarrett) had declared that they wanted this to go forward
- Somebody at White House knew, and put the information in a report, but Obama and Jarrett are both too lazy to read reports closely and realize what's important
- Everybody knew, including Obama, but he simply didn't care because he thought it could be spun as a triumph
- Everybody knew, including Obama, and he knew the real nature of Bergdahl would get out, but Obama simply didn't care because it was an opportunity to poke congressional Republicans in the eye
All of these assume extreme incompetence or malice or both. But I can't think of any way a competent White House that has the best interests of the country in mind and is operating in good faith takes a decision that gives these results. I'm leaning towards extreme incompetence; in fact, I'm waiting for today's press conference where Obama tells us he found out all this stuff about Bergdahl the same time we did through press reports, since that shtick seems to work every time he tries it.
OK, sharp and excellent QandO commenters – what am I missing here?
A response to Amazon's editors: my own suggestions for a well-read life
A few months ago, the "Amazon Book Editors" put up a list with the description "100 Books to Read in a Lifetime: A bucket list of books to create a well-read life".
It contains some good (1984, Pride and Prejudice, The Right Stuff), some decent-but-thought-provoking (Man's Search for Meaning), some leftist cant (Silent Spring), and a disproportionate amount of lightweight fiction, books for children, and books for young adults. I'm guessing this is a consequence of Amazon editors skewing rather young.
I think the list lacks broad perspective. It is weak on science, with only the often-purchased-but-seldom-read Brief History of Time plus an obscure book on nutrition. There's nothing on technology, nothing on business unless you count Moneyball, nothing military (though it does have two books about the victims of WWII), and weak on history.
Fittingly for a Seattle-based company, the list leans left. I mentioned that Silent Spring is there, which is disturbing given the damage and death caused by its inaccuracies and environmental hysteria. It also contains Fahrenheit 451, which is the soft lefty's go-to entry when they think they just have to cite a science fiction book. I could name a hundred better science fiction books off the top of my head, but most are from authors who have a nasty habit of not leaning left.
While the list is worth browsing through, I thought the largest bookseller in the world should have done better. That started me thinking about the list I would recommend. My list would contain books that gave me some of the greatest return on investment in reading them. That might be by changing or refining my worldview. It might be simply great entertainment. Some of the very best combine both.
It would be the best books I could name from a wide variety of fields. Being easily bored, I'm more of a generalist than a specialist, and I like to read lots of different kinds of books. So I began composing a list, and extended and refined it several times over a few months.
Creating such a list involves some tough choices between certain books that cover the same territory. I have dodged that by having some of my entries be categories, in which I think a well-read person should be exposed to the category, but not necessary any single work in the category.
For some works and authors, I also included some follow-on suggestions.
I ended up with about 50 books and categories. Here, then, are the books I think ought to be a bucket list for a well-read person, in alphabetic order except that I separated out the science fiction and placed it at the bottom.
The ones that are also on Amazon's list have an asterisk. No doubt I've left off some obvious works, and no doubt our sharp and excellent commenters will remind me.

After my son and I decided to re-side his house, he spent an
entire day stripping off the old vinyl siding. And what a pile it was! How do
we get rid of it? We decided to give the new Bagster service from Waste
Management a shot.
We brought the Bagster bag home and unfolded it by the
curb. It was about 2 ft. high, 8 ft. long and 4 ft. wide,
and we just didn't see how it was going to hold a whole house's worth of
siding. But we packed it carefully and got most of it in.
Bagster only has one real rule about loading. You have to be
able to pull the handles together once it's full so the guy on the boom truck
can hook on to it when he comes to pick it up. But the siding was so slippery
that the sides of the bag collapsed like a jellyfish. Then we had the idea of
tying the handles together with some electrical cable. It worked great. To get
in the last few pieces of siding, we cut them into short pieces and crammed them
into the ends.
Perfect—we got the entire pile loaded. We called for the pickup
and they took it away within the promised three business days. My verdict: The
Bagster service works as advertised. Simple, relatively cheap and a heck of a lot
easier than renting a trash bin or hauling loads to the dump. I highly recommend
it if you have a bunch of stuff to get rid of. There are some limitations on
what you can put in it, but they're similar to those for your trash can—no hazardous
chemicals or electronics. If you're interested, go to thebagster.com to find
out whether there's Bagster service in your area and the cost of pickup, which
varies by location.
For our project, Waste Management was kind enough to provide the bag and collection for free.

The link in the caption is incorrect. Here's the correct link - http://www.thebagster.com/
Thanks for pointing that out. It has been fixed.
I was thinking about renting a container to get rid some of the stuff from the basement, but then heard about the bagster. It is much cheaper to get rid of waste with it. The container would cost me about $350 minimum while the bagster cost me less than $30 and I gave about $150 for the colleection. I got some coupons on http://www.bagstercoupons.com to save some money on it as well. I'm very happy with the service, about 3x cheaper then if I had to rent a container.

"Community cats" are typically un-owned or semi-owned cats, comprised of both strays (lost and abandoned former pets who may be suitable for home environments) and ferals (extremely fearful of people and not welcoming of human attention, making them unsuitable for home environments), who are the offspring of other feral or stray cats. Some community cats can be considered loosely owned, meaning that concerned residents feed them and may provide some form of shelter in their own homes or on their own property, but do not always identify the cats as their own personal pets.
The issue of managing community cats can create unnecessary conflict. Dissent often arises among neighbors; between cat advocates and wildlife advocates; and among animal care and control leaders, local government leaders, and their constituents. Here you'll find support to get ahead of that conflict, increase TNR efforts, collaborate with wildlife conservationists and more.

I describe myself as a nerd, since I like Star Wars, Stargate and Star Trek. I (or at least I used to) like Lego, Exo-Force being my favorite (Lego no longer makes -_- ). I like math, gym, history, and music. I can play Clarinet quite well (hurray for school music programs). I'm also a big fan of the Stargate mod for Starwars Empire at War. That is all.

THE panto season is about to get a whole lot better - oh, yes it is!
The King's Theatre in Glasgow is to stage an unusual performance of Peter Pan exclusively for people who have autism, learning difficulties or other sensory and commun-ication needs.
Billed as a "relaxed performance" it will be staged during the day on Wednesday January 7, with theatre bosses predicting the exper-ience will be "a first" for many in the audience.
Today's announce-ment was made by the King's creative learning manager and access champion Alison Cowan to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day.
She said: "I am thrilled to announce this unique perform-ance of Peter Pan which will be adapted with a more relaxed attitude to noise and moving around the auditorium.
"House lights will be kept on low and special effects softened to reduce anxiety however the panto won't lose its sparkle.
"This is a great way of offering a warm and inclusive welcome to people affected by autism or learning disabilities giving families, schools and groups the chance to experience high quality live theatre, often for the first time."
The city theatre already offers audio described, captioned and signed perform-ances but aims to extend access by intro-ducing new relaxed performances.
Promoted stories
Those who book seats for the unique stage production in the New Year will be given a "visual story" before the show, which will be packed with details on what to expect, with help on how to prepare for the production.
The advance inform-ation will include photographs, a summ-ary of the plot, descrip-tions of each character and a note on audience participation which also explains the Peter Pan story.
A "familiarisation" visit to the King's can also be arranged with staff on hand to answer questions, while on the day there will be "chill out" areas for custom-ers to use any time dur-ing the performance.
These special areas -set up throughout the theatre - will be comfortable places to sit and relax. They will offer "quiet activities" and have staff and volunteers available.
Peter Pan runs from December 6 until January 11, 2015.
Tickets for the shows are available from: www.atgtickets.com/shows/peter-pan-2/kings-theatre/# showinfotabs= showtimes

The web has many great perks for me. I have met amazing women online who have now become friends in real life. Take for example, my girl Tracey from One Brown Girl and the Passport Party Project. Tracey is equally obsessed with Paris, travels the world, loves her hubby, and is an all around good person. I met Tracey when we sat on a panel at Blogalicious in 2011 discussing travel. It didn't take long for Tracey to see the need for women of color who write about travel together. Introducting the Traveling Brown Girls Blog Carnival. Women bloggers around the world will be writing on various topics. Please check out all these lovely ladies.
The topic for today is my top 5 travel pet peeves. I have many, but will definitely limit it to 5. Here goes.
- A lot of people travel and it irks me to see people continue to try to get through security with jewelry, belts, shoes, etc. Come on people. It is not happening. Add your jewelry after security; don't wear clothing that requires belts; and easy access shoes are the best.
- Ladies, thin, craptastic, and see through leggings are not pants. I don't want to see your backside at 5:45am in the airport or anyplace. Unless you are wearing super thick leggings, i.e., Vince/Lululemon they are not pants.
- No, I do not want to switch my aisle seat for a window seat. I hate to fly and the thought of having a window seat means the middle person will want to look out the window more than once. I don't want to deal with a shade. I prefer aisle.
- My computer screen is not your computer screen. Please do not ask me to share my headphones while I am watching reruns of Sex and the City.
- Yes, I bring my own food on the plane and no you cannot "try my dish."
I could go on and on, but I can't. I hope you enjoy the traveling blog carnival and see you on land or in the air.
16 Comments on Traveling Brown Girls Blog Carnival: My Top 5 Travel Pet Peeves
Totally agree with 1 and 2 (though 2 applies everywhere!). I don't even know what I'd do if someone suggested 4 and 5 to me. In what universe is any of that appropriate? I don't even like sharing earbuds with my husband!
Agreed on all counts!
As a relatively new blogger, I agree that this medium has brought so many amazing women doing world-altering things into my life. I'm new to your blog and am excited to look around…what a beautiful space!
Your list is HILARIOUS! I was totally envisioning those travelers which questionable flight attire! Too funny.
Thanks for the compliments, Julia! (I'll pay you later.) *giggle*
Someone has ACTUALLY asked you to share your food and your headphones?!?!?!? That's hysterical. The noive.
wait!!! do people actually ask to watch your movies and try you food?…..NO MAAM and NO SIR! You will nevverrrrr lol
Someone asked to share your computer and your FOOD?!?! Craziness.
Wow, I'm with Monique. Sharing food and headphones is a bit much. But I'm not surprised these days. For some people, it's just a cultural thing and how they grew up. For others, they just completely lack home training.
LOL! Too funny! Those leggings are a problem. Ladies, please take note: We can see your backside and/or undies!!
We would make perfect travel mates. I adore the window seat. Good luck to the person in the middle trying to get a glimpse outside. Flights put me to sleep and I usually block the window!
LOL! Too funny. The entire list.
Oh, and I"m an aisle gal, too!
Winks & Smiles,
I'm enjoying reading everyone's Pet Peeves as part of this Carnival. Number 4 & 5 surprised me. People actually want to share your computer and/or food. Wow..
Amen to #2! And your right about #4. I can't stand intrusive people! Ugh! lol! :0)
The first is so true! It drives me crazy when people take forever at security, especially since I have the routine down. I know that ATL has an express lane for seasoned travelers. I think all airports should jump on that!
Wow this is a great idea to blog about travel thanks a lot for sharing.
Haha! Great post! This is Melanie, the flight attendant you met on your way to Paris! What a lovely blog you have, so sorry I didn't look it up sooner. Hope all is well with you!
Ps. I would like to add my own personal #6 I don't like traveling to the UK since they have tight restrictions on liquids and…well….I need to bring tons of conditioner with me especially on 6-day trips
Love #4. "My computer screen is not your computer screen." This is one of my pet peeves as well. Just because we're on an airplane together doesn't mean we're family, and you can watch everything I do on my laptop.
1Pingbacks & Trackbacks on Traveling Brown Girls Blog Carnival: My Top 5 Travel Pet Peeves
[…] All About The Pretty — Julia hit the nail on the head with one of my biggest peeves (and my Twitter followers know it): people who want to switch seats. Personally, I spend $10 each way for Southwest Airlines Early Bird to ensure I get my aisle seat. On other carriers, I choose my seats in advance for the same reason. Poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part. […]

Cleveland Clinic's Protective Services Department is sponsoring a Medication Disposal Day Wednesday, February 16, at Cleveland Clinic's main campus to enable employees, patients, visitors and the public to safely dispose of unused or expired medications and narcotics with no questions asked.
Walk-up drop-off sites will be open at the following times and locations on main campus.
"If people keep unused or expired medications it can lead to medication abuse or misuse," said Thomas Lynch, Director - Protective Operations of Cleveland Clinic's Protective Services Department. "Prevention is the key. If these medications are disposed of properly they won't fall into the wrong hands."
Important Facts About Medication Abuse
"If a prescription was changed or there was leftover medication that exceeded a person's needs, this is a great opportunity to dispose of the medication responsibly," Lynch said. "We're making it easy with a drop-off collection process and we won't ask any questions."
Cleveland Clinic, located in Cleveland, Ohio, is a not-for-profit multispecialty academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. Cleveland Clinic was founded in 1921 by four renowned physicians with a vision of providing outstanding patient care based upon the principles of cooperation, compassion and innovation. U.S. News & World Report consistently names Cleveland Clinic as one of the nation's best hospitals in its annual "America's Best Hospitals" survey. About 2,000 full-time salaried physicians and researchers and 7,600 nurses at Cleveland Clinic represent more than 100 medical specialties and subspecialties. In addition to its main campus, Cleveland Clinic operates nine regional hospitals in Northeast Ohio, Cleveland Clinic Florida, the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas and Cleveland Clinic Canada. In 2008, there were more than 4.2 million visits throughout the Cleveland Clinic health system and 165,000 hospital admissions. Patients came for treatment from every state and from more than 80 countries. Visit Cleveland Clinic at clevelandclinic.org.

This is an image taken during my last photography workshop in Iceland, june 2012. Here is a block of ice from the Vatnajökull icefield, deposed on the black sand beach of Jökulsarlon by the North Atlantic Ocean.
It was about 1am, during the infinite night glow of summer.

Stunning and original. A wonderful image.
Stunning image!
Wow, this is absolutely stunning!
Fascinating job!
Okay, I am an amateur, so this next part of the comment that I am leaving may sound really stupid, but here goes: You have a richness here that I cannot get, though I have been trying for 8 years. It's the same type of effect I see in an Annie Lebowitz photo (the more recent ones done for Disney), if that makes any sense whatsoever. What is the secret. My photos cannot seem to create the depth with tone here that you have. I understand depth of field and all that, it's the color that I can't get, even if I up the saturation (It just looks weird). Any suggestions?
I thought this was a photo-manip! *STANDING OVATION* Thank You
amazin ,, love it
Excellent contrast. The gorgeous translucency of the ice is maintained the lighting is exceptional. Mist is an effective path for the eye to follow. Might consider eliminating the white ?houses or ?waves in the distance as they distract a bit from the central block of ice.
Thank you for sharing this beauty on DA
Such a beautiful shot! The color is so vivid, and you captured the motion so well. This is such a dedicated photo, and it looks soooo gorgeous. I'd love to get your advice and some tips on improving my work! Taking photos similar to this is my dream!
LOVE the fluid dynamics on this one...I have a wallpaper photo from a Windows theme on the arctic that is kind of the same thing: a time-lapse of water flowing out past ice. I agree that a little more cold white would make this photo better, but it's definitely a favorite of mine.
really nice one, perhaps more peps on white part no? it is my taste anyway
Oui, éventuellement un peu plus de contraste, et un peu plus de luminosité dans les tons clairs... Mais là je voulais vraiment privilégier cette ambiance de clarté blafarde qu'on a durant la nuit estivale en Islande (qui plus est avec un ciel nuageux...). On va dire que l'image correspond à 99% au fichier raw. D'une manière générale, j'essaie de plus en plus de m'affranchir de traitements lourds (et chronophages!) sur l'ordinateur.
J'ai par contre quelques autres images en stock de cet endroit, qui correspondraient mieux à tes attentes

Mentos Batti Jalao Contest. Khooni kaun hai?
Mentos have taken a leap and thrown a challenge to the consumers to solve a bizarre mystery. The entire look and feel for this is witty and humorous, Mentos has been using the 'evolution' formula for brand positioning ever since the brand was launched in India. "Batti Jalao", the latest campaign by Mentos, is based on the insight that people have a natural fascination for puzzles & mysteries. The campaign uses a riddle with a twist and urges the audience to use their brain laterally. To make the campaign substantial and credible, there is a cash prize of Rs. 25 lakhs on solving the riddle. This is a unique marketing campaign by a brand wherein the person doesn't have to buy or consume the product to participate. Mentos was first positioned on the fresh thinking platform with 'Aam Zindagi, Mentos Zindagi' campaign. Mentos then evolved, literally, with the 'Evolution' campaign, which portrayed an alternative theory of evolution where a monkey ate a Mentos and evolved into a man. Mentos has been positioned on the smart thinking platform with the tagline "Dimaag ki Batti Jala de". With a brand as fun and iconic as Mentos, there's always this huge question: what next? It's not easy to catch people by surprise and leave them with a laugh time after time, but we've done it yet one more time. And with the 'Riddle' campaign we've gone a step ahead by giving them something that will play on their minds even after they find out the answer.
This is the first instance of a confectionery brand coming up with such an unconventional marketing campaign with an aim to initiate conversations amongst consumers. To reach out to its target audience, Piyush Pandey, Ogilvy & Mather's Executive Chairman and Creative Director, South Asia has provided the voice-over.

In MVC3, it seems that the default way to show properties of a model in your view is like so:
@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Title)
This works fine if your model matches your object exactly. But if you define a custom ViewModel, for example like in the NerdDinner tutorial
public class DinnerFormViewModel {
// Properties
public Dinner Dinner { get; private set; }
public SelectList Countries { get; private set; }
// Constructor
public DinnerFormViewModel(Dinner dinner) {
Dinner = dinner;
Countries = new SelectList(PhoneValidator.AllCountries, dinner.Country);
Then your DisplayFor code would look like:
@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Dinner.Title)
Which means the names of the form items are
Dinner.Title instead of just
Title, so if you call
UpdateModel in your Action code, MVC won't "see" the properties it needs to see to update your
Dinner class.
Is there a standard way of dealing with ViewModels that I'm overlooking for this scenario in MVC3?

President's return sparks celebrations
CARACAS, Venezuela
President Hugo Chávez returned to Venezuela early Monday after more than two months of treatment in Cuba following cancer surgery, his government said, triggering street celebrations by supporters who welcomed him home while he remained out of sight at Caracas' military hospital.
Chávez's return was announced in a series of three messages on his Twitter account, the first of them reading: "We've arrived once again in our Venezuelan homeland. Thank you, my God!! Thank you, beloved nation!! We will continue our treatment here."
They were the first messages to appear on Chávez's Twitter account since Nov. 1.
"I'm clinging to Christ and trusting in my doctors and nurses," another tweet on Chávez's account said. "Onward toward victory always!! We will live and we will triumph!!"
Vice President Nicolás Maduro said on television that Chávez arrived at 2:30 a.m. and was taken to the Dr. Carlos Arvelo Military Hospital in Caracas, where he will continue his treatment.
Chávez's announced return to Caracas came less than three days after the government released the first photos of the president in more than two months, showing him looking bloated and smiling alongside his daughters. The government didn't release any additional images of Chávez upon his arrival in Caracas, and questions remain about where he stands in a difficult and prolonged struggle with an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer.
Chávez was re-elected to a new six-year term in October, and his inauguration, originally scheduled for Jan. 10, was indefinitely postponed by lawmakers in a decision that the Supreme Court upheld despite complaints by the opposition. Some speculated that with Chávez back, he could finally be sworn in.
Government officials didn't address that possibility.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas broke into song on television early Monday, exclaiming: "He's back, he's back!"
"Bravo," Villegas said, before state television employees joined him in the studio clapping and celebrating.
A giant inflated Chávez doll was placed beside a corner of the National Assembly building.
Villegas reiterated in an interview with Venezuelan broadcaster Union Radio that Chávez is going through a "difficult, hard and complex" recovery process, and that his return doesn't change the "difficult circumstances he has been in."
Villegas said that he hadn't yet seen the president and that the government will provide updates about his condition "whether they're good or they're bad."

And using it as stock is breaking that law.
See my Shutterstock page for photos currently available.
This one gets a lot of comments, and now it has one more. I've faved a bunch of this girls pics, and this is one of my favorites of her - mainly because of the contrast between the dark background and clothing, and her fair skin, but also because of the classic pin up/leg pose. Great take on a classic
such beauty, i could fall in love so easily
she looks very young
Amazing face, she just has an awesome face, however I feel it is kind of wasted being captured in this genre. Could have some classical portraits done far more impressive than the standard erotic ones. Then again that is what the audience wants, young faces that look young. Again no offense but with that face in a more conceptual clean form could be really something standout I feel.
That is a very pretty lady and her dress, though liberal, could very well be from the 40's or 50's.
Posing pin-up style also fits the surroundings.
My wife is looking for a pin up girl of sorts for a tattoo she wants, if everything works out, I'll post it in my gallery.
And keep it up!

In women, it is used when FSH levels are low or as part of assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures such as in-vitro fertilization. Follitropin beta causes eggs to become mature and ready for release by the ovary. In men, follitropin beta helps increase sperm production.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are being given this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to use this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
The dose of this medication varies according to individual response.
To help induce ovulation, the recommended initial dose of follitropin beta is 50 IU given daily, usually for 7 to 14 days. The dose may be adjusted according to response, which is measured by an ultrasound or by a blood test. When an adequate response is achieved, this medication is stopped and another medication, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is given to induce ovulation.
For ART procedures, the usual initial dose is 150 IU to 225 IU daily for 4 days. The dose is then adjusted according to response and is usually continued for 6 to 12 days. When an adequate response is achieved, this medication is stopped and another medication, hCG, is given to induce ovulation.
In men, the usual dose is 150 IU given 3 times a week or 225 IU twice a week. Treatment is usually given for at least 3 to 4 months. It is usually given along with another medication, hCG.
The injections can be given under the skin (subcutaneous) or into a muscle (intramuscular) in women and under the skin (subcutaneous) in men. The best place for subcutaneous injections is around the navel or the upper thigh. The place of injection should be varied for each injection. The best place for intramuscular injections is the upper outer part of the buttock muscle.
A health care professional will show you how to use this medication properly. Read the enclosed patient information carefully and ask your doctor any question you might have.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is very important to use this medication on a regular schedule as prescribed by the doctor. If you miss a dose of this medication, check with your health care professional. Do not administer a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
Store this medication in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (do not freeze). It can also be stored at room temperature (below 25°C) for a maximum of 3 months. Protect it from light, and keep it out of the reach of children. Once the cartridges have been punctured by a needle, store for a maximum of 28 days.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
Solution for injection in cartridges
Solution for injection in cartridges contain 833 IU/mL. Cartridges contain a minimum of 400 IU FSH activity in 0.48 mL aqueous solution, which is sufficient for a net deliverable dose of 300 IU; a minimum of 700 IU FSH activity in 0.84 mL aqueous solution, which is sufficient for a net deliverable dose of 600 IU; or a minimum of 1,025 IU FSH activity in 1.23 mL, which is sufficient for a net dose of 900 IU. Nonmedicinal ingredients: benzyl alcohol, L-methionine, polysorbate 20, sodium citrate, and sucrose. Hydrochloric acid 0.1 N and sodium hydroxide 0.1 N (trace amounts for pH adjustment to pH 7.0).
The net deliverable dose of 300 IU, 600 IU, and 900 IU are based upon a maximum of six 50 IU injections, six 100 IU injections and nine 100 IU injections respectively. When more injections are given the net total dose may be lowered, because each injection has to be preceded by an air shot.

This was a great find for us. We thought it was pretty clever and we loved the stick. We were kind of bummed to see what some consider "tradeables" . TOLO (took one left one) Do I have that right?
Almost forgot. One of the trade items was really nice. Thanks! Left some nice ones in return.
