Re: ImgBurn XGD2 and XGD3 Settings
XGD2 games should still be burnt by opening the dvd files validated abgx360, this will automatically set the correct layerbreak, all other settings for XGD2 games should be the default ones.
Depending on the speed of the burn 2.4x or 4x the OPC is selected or de-sected for XGD3 burns, the setting to calculate layebreak should also be selected.

Smallpox Standoff
Byline: THE WASHINGTON TIMES
President Bush's plan to protect Americans against a terrorist attack through a phased-in mass vaccination has come to a virtual standstill due to unexpectedly stiff resistance from health care workers. We had hoped that such smallpox refusniks numbered only a small fraction of the national total, and thus posed merely a minor threat to public health preparedness. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
According to recent reports, about 4,200 individuals have been vaccinated - less than 1 percent of the administration's target for this first phase and about 495,000 short of where the administration hoped to be at this point, a month after the campaign began. Several factors appear to be responsible for this standoff. Some health care unions have advised their members not to take the vaccine until the federal government commits significantly to a compensation fund. Some health professionals are reluctant to place themselves or their patients at risk from adverse effects of an inoculation in the absence of an imminent threat. Also, senior administration officials have not pushed smallpox vaccinations with the requisite urgency. When they have done so, it has seemingly been with the wrong sense of proportionality - placing too much emphasis on the small risk of adverse effects from inoculation, and too little emphasis on the catastrophic effects of a smallpox attack on an unvaccinated population.
Those risks have been well-documented, but they are worth repeating. Historically speaking, the smallpox virus has killed one of every three unvaccinated individuals it infected. Those who survived were often horribly scarred, and quick inoculation remains the only proven way to prevent such effects.
In the event of a smallpox attack, those infected would have only a three-day window in which to be vaccinated against the virus without adverse effects. That is, individuals showing the initial flu-like symptoms of a smallpox infection (if they show any symptoms at all) will have merely 72 hours during the panic, confusion and travel restrictions of a smallpox attack in which to find a doctor able to make the proper diagnosis and correctly apply the smallpox vaccine. …

Wendy Crites Wacker
Good morning and thank you for joining RTI Biologics for our first quarter 2009 conference call. Today, we will hear from Brian Hutchison, Chairman and CEO, who will discuss operational highlights and feature activities for the company, as well as Tom Rose, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer who will provide an overview of our financial results.
Before we start, let me make the following disclosure about forward-looking statements. The earnings and other matters we will be discussing on this conference call will involve statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on our management's current expectations, but they are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with our lines of business and with the economic environment in general.
Our actual results may vary from any statements concerning our expectations about future events that are made during the course of this meeting and we make no guarantees as to the accuracy of these statements. Accordingly, we urge you to consider all information about the company and not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Now I will turn the call over to Brian Hutchison.
Brian Hutchison
Good morning everyone. As many of you saw in this morning's press release, we met our goals in revenue and earnings this quarter and exceeded The Streets Consensus on both revenues and net income. We achieved quarterly revenues of $38.6 million representing a 29% growth over the same period last year. As mentioned in our release revenues on a pro forma basis increased by 1% over 2008.
We continue to make progress, optimizing our merger with Tutogen that was completed about a year ago. Net income for the quarter of $1 million or $0.02 per diluted share met our expectations for the quarter. Let us drill down on each of four major lines of business are little further.
We saw a nice improvement and fine results for the first quarter, up almost 12% over the prior year, primarily due to new implants going to new distributors. In February, we signed a new development and distribution agreement with Aesculap Implant Systems for spinal implant. Initial shipments have gone up this month.
This agreement is the latest in the series of improvements we've made in diversifying our distribution model in the spinal area. This quarter, our largest spine distributor represented 85% of spine revenues compared to 92% in Q1 2008. Sports medicine revenues increased compared to the same period last year and were up more than 11% sequentially over last quarter.
These results were favorably impacted by the improving effectiveness of our direct Biologic representatives. We're comfortable with our staffing levels at this time and will add as necessary throughout the remainder of this year. We launched two new sports medicine implants in the first quarter.
Matrix HD heralds RTI's entry into the augmentation graft market and is the first crossover implant opportunity from our merger with Tutogen. Matrix HD is a cellular human dermis sterilized through Tutoplast, using the same processing technology that has been clinically successful for membrane implants used in hernia, dental, and other surgical specialties for more than 30 years.
Additionally, Matrix HD (inaudible) in a number of other procedures including the large rapidly growing (inaudible). After the successful launch of our fresh OC graft (inaudible).
The fresh-stored OC talus enables surgeons to resurface cartilage defects in the ankle with mature hyaline cartilage and healthy subchondral bone in a single procedure.
We are encouraged by the opportunities in the orthopedic foot and ankle markets as this is an increasing area of focus for orthopedic surgeon. With the activities in this area over the last quarter, we are pleased to say that our sports medicine business is back on track. Dental revenues have been impacted as a result of continuing weakening of the global economy as many of these procedures are elective and not covered by insurance.
In the first quarter of 2009, we saw a 14% decrease in revenues in this area over the same period last year on a pro forma basis. The US business was down 13%, while international was down 17%. Our decline in this area is very similar to the decline mentioned by our exclusive distributor on their recent conference call.
However, what is not easily seen in our numbers is that nearly $1 million of end market value of our bone graft substitutes revenues, which by the way are at transfer price in our financials are representing putty used in dental cases. Therefore, combining these putty revenues with our dental segments shows that Biologics are actually flat year-over-year.
Surgical specialties continues to be a strong area for the company. Revenues were $4.8 million in the first quarter, which is a 30% increase over the same period last year on a pro forma basis, as well as a 35% increase sequentially over fourth quarter 2008. This significantly exceeds market growth rates for this very.

This work was concomitantly a book and a dissertation. It was under contract with the Jewish Publication Society from the prospectus stage onward. Whereas dissertations usually inaugurate a life of scholarship, this book builds upon the work of a lifetime, twenty-five years of shaping a Jewish feminist theology and ethics. I thank everyone who has taught me, helped me, or been a partner with me in the task. A special thanks to Michael Goldberg, who first taught me that what I was trying to write was called theology and whose own work on narrative theology has profoundly influenced my thought.
A joint committee from the University of Southern California and Hebrew Union College gave me the benefit of their impressive intellectual resources and the warmth of their friendship: David Ellenson and Donald Miller, co-chairs, and Sheila Briggs, Tamara Eskenazi, and Ruth Weisberg. A special thanks to David Ellenson, who took time from his frenetic schedule to comment painstakingly on chapter after chapter and to write the introduction to this book. I am also grateful to the National Foundation for Jewish Culture for a fellowship that supported a year of writing. Dr. Yaffa Weisman, Judaica librarian at Hebrew Union College, and the entire llibrary staff were loyal and tireless friends to my project, finding obscure references, burrowing through unbound periodicals in the basement, and scouring CD-Roms and the Internet for requested information.
My mainstay during seven long years of writing has been the Women's Hevra Shas, a group of academic women and rabbis who meet weekly around my table for tea and Talmud, using a multidisciplinary feminist methodology. These dear study companions critiqued and applauded draft after draft. How can I ever sufficiently thank Tamara Eskenazi and Maeera Shreiber, who recommended sources, performed surgery on refractory chapters, and wiped my tears? I have also benefited from the good counsel of Shoshanna Gershenzon, Laura Geller, Bridget Wynn, Sue Levi Elwell, Isa Aron, and Jacqueline Ellenson.
Others also lavished time and energy on me. Over several years' time, Barbara Dalton-Taylor read three chapters aloud, making me clarify every esoteric reference or murky phrase. Another exacting critic, my son Amitai Adler, who has a particular distaste for postmodernist cultural-critical jargon, read heroically and ultimately pronounced the manuscript intelligible. Friends from afar who enriched my work with their critiques and suggestions include Judith Plaskow, Marcia Falk, Riv-Ellen

I don't think age has anything to do with it at all. It could be environmental, i.e. how is a person raised, what is their value system based upon. I've known some really mature kids and some childish seniors.
Then again some of us could've been exposed to many things in our lifetime and as a result have no ego to feed, because we know life is just too short to waste time on that sort of behavior.
Hummm... I just can't remember now.

"Oh, to be 60 again!"
One of the guys at my job LIVES to put others down. It's pathological, really. I don't see age as a factor, however. I asked him once if his self-esteem was really low, and he said yes.
One time he got me to the point of rage, where I threatened to hurt him. Years ago I might have hit him. He backed off for a while, but he's back at it now.

Im thinking its mostly personality.Some folks just like to get a rise outa people.Most likely lack of self esteem.In my case its definately got older nothing to prove,been there done that.Cant win, dont prove anything anyways.
I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old. Either of those ages seem to be alot of fun
When do we reach that age? It's when we decide to start hanging out in 50+. 50+ isn't an age, it is a value system that we've all adopted (OK, most of us have adopted) where a personal best on a 5 mile ride is just as impressive as a personal best on a century. We've reached the age where we realize the people are more important than the stuff or the numbers. The stuff and the numbers aren't bad, just not nearly as important as the people. The age we reach that level of maturity varies but acheiving it makes for one heck of a great community. Hats off (or should I say helmets off - no that might reopen the helmet/no helmet debate) to those here who care far more for the members than about stats or stuff no matter what their age. It is a pleasure to hang out with the lot of you.
I feel that some people will never get it and spend their entire lives competing with others, which indicates they are never really happy with themselves. I recently read an interview with author Kazuo Ishiguro, who is 54. He said, " I've realized that based on the time it takes for me to produce a book, I only have about four books left." I think that when we understand that we have a limited time here and we are "playing on the back nine", we can accept who we have become and be content with it or do something to change what we don't like and not waste time or energy trying to convince other people we are something we aren't. If we want to be something other than what we are, we actually have to get out there and do it-now.
I Think that there is a majotity of society that has not had the Firm upbringing that I had in that my generation that make me care for other people in the actions that I do. That Attitude seems to be missing in others of a younger age.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.
Spike Milligan
I don't think there is a specific age. I think it is the tenor of the online community that makes the difference. This group formed partially as a reaction to some of the the negative aspects of other forums. The tone was set from the outset. No one who wants to light a torch would feel a part of this community. I suspect there are a few "mature" (as in age) flamers on the road forum. Some of them may even have a different online persona under which they sign on over here when they want a nice break
Every man is, or hopes to be, an Idler. -- Samuel Johnson
People are like fruit...some reach maturity and are sweet the rest of their lives...some just rot and maturity goes down the drain.
The particular topic has something to do with maturity level, too. Think Religion and Politics.
IMHO, internet forums themselves seem to be good at bringing out the worst in people.
Age is 59 this year, and next year it will be 60!!
John (sitting on the cusp of the 60 and over club)
Its when you stop competeing with others and start competeing with yourself.

I don't think there is a "magic age" for anything. Think about all the areas in which we've tried to set one:
Starting Kindergarten
Driving an automobile
Serving in the armed forces
Drinking alcoholic beverages
Which of these do you think is working well for us?

Had to look that one up:
Main Entry: con·cu·pis·cence
Pronunciation: \kän-ˈkyü-pə-sən(t)s, kən-\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin concupiscentia, from Latin concupiscent-, concupiscens, present participle of concupiscere to desire ardently, from com- + cupere to desire
Date: 14th century
Age has nothing to do with it. Riders in our group range from 72 down to maybe mid 30's. The competitive juices usually flow strong on most rides. Everyone has different goals but you know the feeling when you get home and you kicked someones rear that you normally suck their wheel.
There was an interesting article in the WSJ this week about being older and less competitive. The guy they featured was told to keep his heart rate below 90 for a marathon by his doc. When I read that I figured I would have to take the batteries out of my HRM to make that happen.

Triangle body types are categorized by a wider waist and smaller shoulders. Triangle body types also generally have a full lower half of their body. Flattering this body type is easy following a few simple rules. Flattering any body type is done by focusing on emphasizing the positive, and by minimizing the negative. The trick is to draw attention away from imperfections by the way you dress.
Wear light colors on top, dark colors on bottom. Simply put, dark colors hide, while light colors magnify.
Buy separates. Since a triangle body type needs a different size on the top than the bottom, separates are a great choice. Finding coordinating separates is simple in department stores, and even online.
Select shirts with detailed sleeves. Dress in raglan sleeves or puffed sleeves to draw the eye outward, making shoulders appear wider, and balances out the larger hips.
Wear shirts with large collars. Anything from polo shirts to turtlenecks, and large lapels work well. Again, these draw the eye outward, creating the illusion of larger shoulders.
Wear clothes that fit. A shirt that is too big looks sloppy and unfinished, and doesn't disguise narrow shoulders. A shirt that fits the shoulders exactly and simply draws the attention elsewhere looks polished and attractive.
Find a good tailor. This especially applies to large busted triangle body types. In order to get a shirt to fit properly, it is necessary to have some clothes properly altered.
Avoid camisoles and tanks with thin straps. Other styles that are not flattering include boat necks, anything without collars and scoop neck shirts.

Denny's Daily Zinger: Going Incognito Is Good
Some people relish notoriety and their 15 minutes (or lifetime) of fame.
"I love being famous," said Chris Rock. "It's almost like being white."
Success in two professions demands absolute invisibility: spies and restaurant critics.
I was once invited out to lunch with iconic New York restaurant critic Mimi Sheraton. She told me to make a reservation at "21" under my name, because she always dined out incognito. Otherwise she would get special service and could not write an honest review.
When Denny Hatch and his nameless companion arrived at "21" we were shown to the upstairs dining room. Standing by the table to greet us were the owner and the chef. So much for incognito.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's Craig LaBan is the town's secret gustatory curmudgeon. Because he's invisible, he has saved a lot of people a lot of misery.
Philly has become foodie heaven with dozens of trendy, upmarket eateries.
In my old age I have given up drinking (alcohol puts me to sleep) and morphed into a food-is-fuel guy. My favorite: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Bor-ING!
However, we do go out sometimes and I am always fascinated with new Philly eateries that have invested millions on furnishings, food and hype. The latest is Ocean Prime on 15th Street.
All I can say is, "Thank goodness for Craig LaBan."
Incognito is good.

The head of CNN's U.S. network, Rick Kaplan, has left the company as part of a restructuring plan meant to shore up dwindling ratings. CNN said it plans to more aggressively integrate its television and Internet operations. Its parent company, Time Warner, is about to complete its merger with America Online. It is not clear whether Kaplan's job, president of CNN/USA, will be filled. In the restructuring, his duties were dispersed among other executives. Philip Kent, formerly president of Turner Broadcasting System International, was appointed president and chief operating officer of the CNN News Group. Eason Jordan, who has controlled CNN's international news operations, will become CNN's chief news executive. Kaplan was offered other opportunities within Time Warner but chose not to take them. "I believe it best that I now move on," Kaplan said.
John Haile, who built The Orlando Sentinel into a multimedia force and led the newspaper to three Pulitzer Prizes, announced Aug. 31 that he is retiring after 15 years as editor of the newspaper. "For me, it has been a great ride:" Haile told the staff "Youve made it so. But it's also time to move on, to let someone else with a fresh look on things have a shot at it" Haile, who became editor and vice president in 1985, led the Sentinel's transformation into a multimedia company that includes interactive services, a radio partnership and a 24-hour cable news channel. The Sentinel became available on America Online in 1995 and launched its own Internet site a year later. In 1997, the newspaper joined Time Warner Communications to create Central Florida News 13, a round-theclock cable news channel. Haile is targeting his retirement for mid-October, when he plans to devote more time to his new company, Inside Out Media Partners.
Kenneth W. Lowe, president of The E.W. Scripps Co. since January, succeeded William R. Bu as chief executive officer after Burleigh's retirement on Sept 30. Burleigh, who is reaching the company's mandatory retirement age of 65, will continue as chairman, company spokesman Mark Kroeger said on Aug. 15. The change will complete a transfer of power that started Jan. 24 when Lowe assumed the title of president from Burleigh at the Cincinnati-based media company. Burleigh began his nearly 50-year career with Scripps as a writer and then editor. He was placed in charge of Scripps' newspaper division in 1986 and headed that until becoming president and chief operating officer in 1994. He became CEO in 1996. Lowe, 50, joined Scripps in 1980 as general manager of its radio properties. In 1998, he advanced to vice president of programming, promotion and marketing for Scripps' network television stations. He developed Home & Garden Television in 1994.
Lesley Visser, bounced as a sideline reporter for ABC's "Monday Night Football," is back where she began her television career. "After being on a brief hiatus of seven years, Lesley is rejoining CBS Sports," said CBS Sports president Sean McManus in announcing Visser's return to the network on Aug. 8. Visser, who worked for CBS from 1988 through 1994, will work on NFL and college football, U.S. Open tennis and other sports, he said. Visser said she was "mostly shocked" when she was fired by ABC's "Monday Night Football" producer Don Ohlmeyer. "I had a great relationship with ABC and ESPN those seven years. It was the decision of one person to change `Monday Night Football."' She said she is excited to "come home." "One thing I've learned over the past six weeks is taking the high road actually gives you an ulcer. It's been difficult," she said. Visser said she watched the first "Monday Night Football" telecast with the new announcing crew, including comedian Dennis Miller, and said: "It was a little bit like going to an old boyfriend's wedding! She did say, though, that Miller was a favorite of hers. "For a long time he has said his ideal woman would be Julia Child in the kitchen, Traci Lords in the bedroom and Lesley Visser during a game;' she said. …

updated picture of my Giant Rapid Composite. Just got the aerospokes on today. 2 more upgrades, the Giant Carbon SLR flatbar and SLR Carbon Stem.
Awesome looking bike! So whats the story with the wheels. Where did you get them from are they new or vintage, what do they weigh and how much did they cost?
Nothing special about the wheels, they are from Aerospokes USA. Cost was about $900 for the set, but they are very heavy, 1500g each. The bike is over 22lbs with them on and 20.1lbs with the stock wheels.
Before.. Timex HRM, Phone Case using my phone as my GPS tracker, and the POS cycle computer.

The after.. Edge 500 one stop shopping including cadence/speed. Unfortunately mounting it on the upright put it at a terrible angle so it had to go on the bars for now.

I hope to leave it alone now until they improve the Alfine 11 speed.
Wow! That is a classy bicycle, elegant yet tough. :)
Towing my kiddo home from daycare today, my nextdoor neighbor saw me on the road. Lately, I have been using my older MTB that I put street tires on but have been wanting a more hybrid-ish bike. The weight, front suspension, and low gearing of my MTB really make it not ideal for road use. When I pulled in the driveway, she walked over and started commenting on how much I've recently been on my bike. She then started talking about how she had her hip replaced last year and will not be on a bike again. She then offered me her bike if I was interested. Always looking for a good deal, I figured I'd look at it and see what she had. I went over and gave it a look over and bought it for $230 and a Coors Light. It's a Giant Innova 19", 21 speed with 700c x 35 tires, a rear rack, and a Novara rack trunk. She also threw in a pump and multiple tools. I figure not a bad purchace considering I was ready to pull the trigger on a new $700 Trek.
My hybrid that I converted to a strange mashup of bike styles is getting converted back for some snow riding. The snow is coming way too soon. I have about 2 more months of 40ºF+ days.
Recently I did a mock build up with 29er wheels, cross tires and dropbars and it looked good but haven't taken it on as a project yet with all the other bikes I'm building up.
Yours looks original and as new, that's one bike to hang onto. It look beautiful.
I do/am getting frustrated going to all the LBS's and them telling me nothing on it is worth upgrading or changing and that my money would be better spent on a new bike...This one is too cool though!
The technical term for the hairs on the tires is 'little nubbins thingys.'
It's nice to know 'tits' is not filtered out... I had that in a post the other day but left it out thinking it would turn into "****"... It was in a completely different context, though. :D
Shofine - those handlebars look exactly like what I want for myself. They look similar to On-One Mary bars - do you know how they compare? Also, what grips are those?
The grips are the PDW Whiskey Grips. I love the feel of leather! http://www.ridepdw.com/goods/grips/w...grips%E2%84%A2


text: Posted June 5, 2012 Not to downgrade the franchise additions because they are def. important, but physics (if it's implemented correctly) is a much bigger, and important addition to this game. If the videos they showed yesterday are anything to go by (they should be it was gameplay), then a play truly will never be over until you actually hit the turf. No more of "oh the DB made contact with my WR time to move on to the next play". You could (in theory), see a Smitty vs Texans play in the game with the new physics engine....

Football: I'LLMAKE HISTORY; Pounds 3M 'Phil from Brazil' Insists England Can Make Him the First Coach to Lift World Cup Twice
Byline: By MARTIN LIPTON
LUIS FELIPE SCOLARI said yes to the England job because he wants to become a football legend.
The Brazilian told FA chief executive Brian Barwick at a meeting in Lisbon that he will accept the challenge of succeeding Sven Goran Eriksson.
Barwick and FA lawyer Simon Johnson, who was also involved in the talks in Portugal, returned to London yesterday with an outline agreement over a four-year deal understood to be worth a basic pounds 3million a year.
But as a storm of protest from English coaches crashed around the FA's ears, Scolari has told close friends in Brazil he could not turn down the chance of creating a legacy that would live forever.
A close pal said last night: "Phil knows how much this will mean and that's why he wants the job.
"He is already a world champion and came so close with Portugal in Euro 2004, but he wants to become the most famous coach in Brazil, the Ronaldo of coaches. …

The owner of an ice cream parlor in Austria will spend the rest of her life in jail after she was found guilty of murdering her husband and lover, the BBC and Associated Press reported today.
A Vienna court convicted and sentenced Estibaliz Carranza earlier today.
Carranza, who has joint Spanish-Mexican citizenship, shot dead her husband in 2008 and her boyfriend two years later, the BBC said.
She chopped up their bodies with a chainsaw and stored their body parts in a freezer before burying them in concrete in the basement of her shop in the Austrian capital.
The Agence France-Presse reported that the remains were discovered by chance during maintenance work in June 2011.
The 34-year-old, dubbed the "Ice Lady" by Austrian media, confessed to the murders in court on Monday, the AFP said.
She will be held in psychiatric care, the AP reported.

Youkilis gets winning hit in 10th for White Sox
CHICAGO Kevin Youkilis has been making his presence felt in the White Sox lineup with his relentless, patient approach at the plate.
Youkilis hit a game-ending RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.
In the 10th inning, Alejandro De Aza, who fouled a ball off his right knee during the at-bat, led off the inning with a walk against Rangers reliever Mike Adams (1-3) then stole second. On the ninth pitch after working back from an 0-2 count, Youkilis ended the game with an RBI single to score De Aza and prompting the crowd to shout "Youuuuk!" for the player acquired in a trade from the Red Sox on June 24.
"For me you try to describe to people the importance of Youk coming over. That at-bat really describes it the best, he is 0-2, he is grinding and it's just continuous and that is the kind of stuff is infectious throughout the lineup for us, just grinding out at-bats," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "It's good for everybody to see that. We have a lot of young guys. It's good for them to see it, but it shows just how good of a player he is."
In his first two games in Chicago, Youkilis is becoming as popular as he was in Boston.
"I'm having a great time with this team," Youkilis said. "It's always a lot more fun when you do stuff like that."
Youkilis was 3 for 6 with a home run and four RBIs in Tuesday's win.
" I had a little rut baseball-wise and statistically and a funk and hopefully this will be a thing where I can keep going forward and playing better ball," Youkilis said.
The White Sox have won six of its last eight games.
Josh Hamilton homered for the Rangers, who had won their previous seven series.
"I know they got pitching and I know we got pitching, and the pitching showed up," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "When you pitch there won't be any good hitting and that's the way it is. We had opportunities and we just didn't cash them in."
Addison Reed (2-1) pitched a scoreless 10th for the White Sox.
After a 19-2 drubbing by the White Sox on Tuesday, the Rangers scored three runs in the first inning off White Sox starter Dylan Axelrod. With two outs, Hamilton and Adrian Beltre hit back-to-back singles. Then Michael Young snapped an 0 for 13 skid with a two-run double and scored on Cruz's RBI single. Axelrod threw 25 pitches in 97-degree heat in the first inning.
The White Sox came right back and scored four runs to take the lead. With one out in the second, Alex Rios doubled to right off Rangers starter Scott Feldman. Feldman then hit A.J. Pierzynski with a pitch. Dayan Viciedo followed with an RBI single, then Alexei Ramirez lined a single to right. Right fielder David Murphy's throw short-hopped to catcher Mike Napoli.
Although he was in front of the plate and in position to tag Pierzynski out, Napoli got barreled over by Pierzynski and lost the ball. Gordon Beckham added a two-run double.
"It was better (after the second inning). Giving up the four spot right there after we put up three wasn't the ideal situation, but I was able to make better pitches after that. Second inning I was just kind of leaving the ball up and they were put the bat on the ball and find some holes," said Feldman.

took the car to a local repair shop for vibration in the left rear tire. I was told the rim was bent. not sure how this happened since the car has never been in a wreck. the tech told me that this was happening because the master brake cylinder as bad fluid and it was causing the brakes to engage. I did notice that the brake foot pedal would travel less after driving for a period of time.

You may be aware of the Buddhist mantra, Aum. This is an excellent sound for bringing us to the mental level of our inner being. Our inner being consists of our emotions, our memories, our mind, our intuition or sub consciousness and our true selves, Soul.
A spiritual being, Soul As we struggle in the physical world we often forget that we are really a spiritual being, Soul, having a physical and human experience. We are looking at our physical world and believe that this is all that matters in life. Our mind and its logic have convinced us that this life is all there is, all we have is all that we can hold and see in our physical world. But, for a lot of us there is a feeling that there is something more than this, more than all the physical stuff around us. We can feel it, a knowingness, an ache, a hunch that says there is more to life than work, play, eat, drink and sleep.
This inner nudge is coming from Soul into our intuition and being kept in the background by the logical blocks of the mind. It can be hard for the message to come through the roadblocks, arguments and censoring of the mind.
Because the HU song is a sound from the heavenly worlds, where Soul is positioned, it can help us link up with It. This is not something that will work instantly, although it may for some, this needs a consistent effort to get our spiritual muscles back to some level of fitness.
By singing the HU song on a regular basis we will begin to re-establish the link and communications between our lower elements and our higher self, Soul. Singing HU will open a path to Soul's wisdom. The longer we practice it, the better we get to know the path and a greater flow of spiritual wisdom comes into our lives.
How to sing the HU song Get into a comfortable position with our back straight. It should be a time and place where we won't be disturbed for 20 minutes or so. Take a few deep breaths to relax. Then, with our eyes closed, begin to chant HU on our outgoing breath. It is pronounced like, hue or the name Hugh and as hu in human, We can take a rest from chanting whenever it is comfortable for us.
While we are doing this, we can watch for changes in the light we see on our inner screen. We may see a glow or sparkles and occasionally flashes. Also listen to the sounds around us and eliminate them until we begin to hear a sound within ourselves. Do this by becoming aware of each individual sound and acknowledging its presence. For example, there may be traffic in the distance, a machine running nearby, the wind blowing outside, animals or birds making noise. Acknowledge the presence of these sounds and listen for other sounds. Acknowledge them all. Now that we have eliminated these sounds, is there a subtle sound lingering in the background, can we hear it?
This sound can be like a wind, running water, bells tinkling, buzzing bees or a single note on a flute or whistle. The way you know it is an inner sound, is by recognising that there is no physical source for the sound. Some people have heard the sound of running water and after checking their taps and plumbing finally realised the sound was coming from within themselves and not from their water works.
As we sit there being aware of the light and sound we may notice that some subjects cross our mind. The light and sound blend together to create a scene. The scene is familiar to us but we may be seeing it from a different viewpoint. Try and not get too distracted by the scene and return our focus to the light and sound. Other scenes and subjects may develop with different insights being revealed. Continue this for about 20 minutes.
Don't worry if the light doesn't appear or the sound can't be heard. With enough practice of singing the HU song these will develop in time. If singing HU brings us any level of comfort or peace, then it is working.
Make it a habit We should try and make a habit of singing the HU song at a set time each day. Some people like to do it first thing in the morning, or mid morning when they have time to themselves or in the evening before they go to bed. We can pick a time that suits our lifestyle and let it develop into a habit.
Once we get used to the word HU, as part of your spiritual tool box, we may find ourselves using it at any time. During the day when out and about or working and we come to a challenging situation, can begin to chant HU song within ourselves. It'll help us connect with Soul and brings peace to our thoughts. It may even open the way for Soul to suggest a solution to the current situation.
Background The HU song has been around for a very long time. The Druids and Egyptians had gods named Hu. The word God can be attributed to the Sanskrit word HU. HU is also an ancient name for God. Eckankar, a spiritual path, promotes the HU song as a love song to God. They have a page dedicated to HU on their web site which may be worth checking out.
A Spiritual Tool So there you have it. The one spiritual tool I've found to be the most useful as I go through life. I've been using it for over thirty years now, and it is the one that has proved itself to be a reliable and consistent companion on my spiritual journey. I hope you discover the value of it too.
May the HU be with you.
*Ed Parkinson
If you enjoyed the HU Song, you'll find similar insights on the Spiritual Writings page.

Bio and Links
I'm a collector of many hobbies including hiking, genealogy, geocaching, knitting, babywearing, home production of everyday items, gardening, and outdoor survival. Due to my tendency to shift hobby focus often, I may take long breaks from graving, but I always respond to messages. Do you think we might have a cousin in common? Let me know!
The surnames I am most interested in are: Acker, Bird, Bradley, Brenner, Burnett, Campbell, Carter, Casstevens, Crisp, Crowder, Fix, Geibel, Gray, Hellinger, Henry, Hess, Humble, Ingerton, Jewett, Jones, Kempf, Kley, Kremer, Loerwald, Massey, Matthews, Moran, Myers, Oaks, Oberhaussen, Otto, Paetzold, Passmore, Pick, Reagor, Reidel, Sargent, Schlosser, Schmitz, Scott, Steinmetz, Tanklersley, Tidwell, Troxel, Walter, Walterscheid, Wheatley, Wiggins, and Zehl.
I live far from any of the places where my family was buried, so I generally am not related to any of the memorials that I have created (the exception is Holy Family Cemetery in Nazareth, TX). Since these are not my own family, I cannot answer any genealogical questions, especially for cemeteries in Iowa and Colorado. I have transferred all memorials I created that are not family to Find a Grave for management. If you want any of these memorials transferred to you, then I suggest contacting Find a Grave.
A note about my photos:
While I respect the decision by others to copyright their volunteer photos and restrict the distribution of their work, I do not copyright my pictures. Any photos that I submit of headstones are free for anyone to use. You may upload them to any webpage you wish, paid or otherwise. You may also publish them freely on your webpages and family history books. You may credit me if you wish (send me a message for my real name), but it is unnecessary.
My primary reason for this is that I am mainly taking pictures of headstones of people who are not in my family. I do this as a gift to those who cannot travel to visit these headstones in person.
Second, I am not a professional photographer; I am not even a good photographer. Despite the shortcomings of my work, I am submitting these photos online because I feel that a bad photo is better than no photo at all. Also many of the headstones are getting so weathered that I very well may be the last person to be able to read the text. On that subject, I will not be offended if you wish to replace any of my photos with a better one.
PLEASE don't use shaving cream on markers! Here is why: http://ncptt.nps.gov/blog/shaving-creamgenealogists-friend-or-cemetery-conservators-foe/

Unfortunately, it seems that cemetery associations have the power to even prevent taking photos of headstones unless you are family or have the written permission of the family. I have run across a few in the Metroplex that have made that a requirement. Unfortunate, but true.

William Moore 85472321
Hello, I'm sorry to say but it seems William's marker is unmarked. He shares a niche with Melba Moore in which I've added the photo to both Melba and William's memorial.
I've requested an edit stating William's marker stating his marker is unmarked on his memorial.

RE: Turrentine
I am so glad you were able to do that. When I photographed it, I had no clue that it had no name on it and got home with it and started to put it on Find A Grave and could not see a name on it and went back to the cemetery to look at it again and there just was not one single name on it. I wonder if there was maybe a plaque or metal attachment that became lost over the years. I do know the Turrentine family here in town and in fact Carol Hale's mother is Johnnie Turrentine. I am so glad you took the time to research it. I made the decision to go ahead and put it on anyway after much thought and glad I did now. I thought maybe, just maybe someone would come along and add to it.

I was wondering how you figured out the names on this headstone. I have never run into a situation like this before where there were no names except for the last name on the stone. This one really stumped me. I am glad I went ahead and added it as is though as I hoped someone would know their names. Are you a relative?

RE: Picture for Martha Smith
You are very welcome. Sorry it wasn't your relative's mother. Smith is a challenging name to try to locate. Was out by the cemetery this morning and thought I would stop by and take the photos for you.
Good luck in your search.

I would be happy to help. The weather has improved and I have been able to get out and get photos. Crescent Grove is very near by and I know the staff there well and am familiar with the cemetery so it is easy to take photos there.

RE: Transfers
THANKS for the transfers of my Gerber & more relative Memorials! Of course, I see them as "ours" now, as I do everyone I get a "transfer for maintaining" on! I know what you mean..I have taken so many photos of headstones in Holy Family Cem. over the years, while Mom was living, but just never got them entered. Then someone made the Memorial pages & I knew it had to be done, or all of that work for nothing! So I went there over Labor Day weekend & spent 7 hrs. Monday in 100 degree weather cleaning & taking photos of what I didn't have. (There was enough shade & water, for breaks!) I'd marked my cemetery book & north-south plot pages with little green dots, to only take what I didn't have. As I finished up the north side, I looked for my book & south plots page & it had vanished. I can only assume someone came to visit while I ran to the store & picked it up...so I had to take one of every headstone on the south side. Having done that yourself, I'm sure you know what I mean! I'll be working on getting those edited & entered for you over the next week!

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its Network Equipment Spending and Vendor Leadership: North American Enterprise Survey, which explores enterprises' top networking initiatives, budget priorities and growth, investment drivers and barriers, and vendor preferences.
"Our latest enterprise survey uncovered a solid outlook for network equipment spending, driven by the ever-growing demands placed on network infrastructure. But not all is well: there is a disconnect between the growth in network usage and enterprise budgets, and cost containment is one of the top priorities over the next year. Vendors who can solve this challenge are best positioned to take share in this $27-billion-a-year market," advises Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research.
- On average, respondent organizations spent around $2 million each on networking equipment in 2012
- Enterprises' top 4 networking-related initiatives over the next 12 months are beefing up security, adoption of cloud architectures/services, virtualization of IT infrastructure and cost containment
- Respondents plan to slightly throttle WLAN expenditures this year, correspondingly increasing router and switch outlays
- Company headquarters are the top investment focus, but those surveyed intend to ramp branch office spending as they seek new opportunities for post-recession growth
- Survey respondents rate Cisco the top networking manufacturer overall, but the big IT suppliers – IBM, HP and Dell – have beefed up their networking capabilities and are battling for the #2 position
For its 23-page network equipment spending survey, Infonetics interviewed 210 North American organizations that have at least 100 employees about their networking equipment, plans and purchase considerations over the next year. The survey provides insights into networking initiatives, budget priorities and growth, investment drivers and barriers, and vendor preferences. Vendors named in the survey include Alcatel-Lucent, Aruba, Avaya, Brocade, Cisco, D-Link, Dell, HP, Huawei, IBM, Juniper, Linksys, Motorola, Oracle, Netgear, VMware and others.

Is there job potential with just CCNA or do I need more certs?

further in the networking industry?
Secondly, someone suggested that MCSE certification with CCNA is a good choice, what do you think?
By itself, a CCNA is not enough certification to guarantee employment. The CCNA is a one- or two-exam cert that leads people into the entry levels of Cisco knowledge and skills, but you don't see too many positions advertised (either here in North America, or in India) for people who hold only a CCNA credential. You'll probably need to carry your training and certification further, perhaps into the Cisco professional certs (CCNP, CCDP, CCIP, or CCSP) or into the Microsoft arena (where MCSA can lead pretty naturally to MCSE if you plan things out properly).
And yes, you do find lots of IT professionals who combine CCNA with MCSE. But ultimately, it's what you know how to do, what kinds of problems you know how to solve, and the experience and knowledge you bring to the workplace that make the difference in employability. So be sure to develop your hands-on skills and knowledge as you pursue your certifications; these things will stand you in the best stead during the search for employment later on.

I am having a Windows XP based desktop computer bought just about 4 months ago. Earlier it was running with Office 2007 Trail, later I removed that and installed Office 2000 Premium and Office Works Suite 2006. Now am trying to install Office Professional 2007 upgrade but not getting it done successfully.
Whenever I start the installation, it goes fine upto the stage where I need to enter the Product key. When I enter the keys, it shows me the Green mark and gets stuck there for about 90 seconds and then quits saying me:
"Microsoft Office Professional 2007 encountered an error during setup"
Tried installing again and again but yet keep getting the same problem. I thought to get some help from web and I tried everything I found there. Here are the things I did: Went to services and stopped every service related to Office 2007, removed everything related to Office suite from Add and Remove, removed Office .msi files from the Installer, deleted temporary files, even deleted from the MSOCache\All Users folder, I even removed the Office 12 and source Engine files or references from:
- %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared
- %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office
- %appdata%\microsoft\templates
- %appdata%\microsoft\document building blocks\language_id
- %AllUsersprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data
But the result is yet the same. Any help Please ?

The Jianmen Pass stays in the middle section of Dajian Mountain with cliffs and precipices on both sides shooting into the sky straightly. Ridges and peaks against the sky look like swords.
The precipice breaks and two halves face each other, looking like a door. Therefore, the place is called "Jianmen (sword door)". It was listed among national protected scenic spots by the State Council in 1982.
The lofty Jianmen guards the passage into Sichuan. Due to its steep and strategically important topography, it had been always a strategic point military commanders contended for.
The original ancient city-gate tower was a three-storey embrasure watchtower with angles bent upwards and one horizontal inscribed board hanging in the right middle, reading "the most impregnable pass in the world". On this board on the middlemost of top storey is written "the impregnable pass and natural chasm". Unfortunately, the grand ancient city-gate tower, having gone through thousand years, was totally demolished during building Sichuan-Shaanxi highway in 1935 with only a rectangular stone tablet reading "Jianmen Pass" left. Present tower is an even more splendid ancient-like one restored in 1992 on the basis of the original one.
Jianmen Pass features of grandness, danger, remoteness, elegance, and uniqueness. Besides famous deep and remote canyon, elegant and pretty Cuiyun (green cloud) corridor, monstrous rocks, and peculiar caves, here are many other famous natural scenic spots and historical relic sites.

Protein Wisdom and The Radness of Crowds
For the first time in the history of any nation, a significant portion of our citizenry is in perpetual and unfiltered contact with a significant portion of the citizenry of other nations. This is almost certain to bring a fundamental change to the manner in which America communicates with the outside world; rather than being conducted by employees of the State Department, a ring of well-connected diplomats, and those media prominent enough to be heard overseas, foreign relations will become an eternal sort of process, conducted at a million points of contact each day and with each point communicating a different opinion and a unique manner of presentation.
All of this has the potential to accomplish a great deal of what governments often attempt on their own by way of diplomacy. If half of Uganda gets on the internet tomorrow and the world's non-Ugandans find them charming and reasonable, Uganda is that much more likely to win trade concessions, financial assistance, and student visas with which to get the fuck out of Uganda. And before any conflict can arise between two nations, there will have been an informal and scattered yet nonetheless tremendous "talking phase" between the respective memberships of those populations that would end up doing the actual fighting.
That is what the Clinton-era AT&T commercials would have you believe, anyway, and to some extent it is true, or at least potentially so. But there also exists the very strong possibility that Ugandans will prove themselves to be boring or emotionally needy, causing them to lose out on tourism and become the subject of international ridicule. And perhaps two populations that suddenly find themselves in constant contact will discover that each hates the other very much, making war not only necessary but desirable. Utopia is a fine prospect if you're handling an information technology firm's marketing campaign, but it tends not to translate well to real life.
How will Americans look as the globalization of the internet brings a billion new foreigners in close contact with those of us who express our political views online, no matter the medium? Some of us will seem reasonable and well-intentioned, and to the extent that this comes through, our standing will increase. Some of us will seem unreasonable and downright mean-spirited, and to that extent we will suffer from the ill will of the rest of the world at the very time in which we most need it to achieve our national objectives. Some of us will appear both benevolent and malicious at various times, as those of us who have acted poorly on the internet are all too aware.
On the whole, though, we are in danger of presenting a bad face. This nation, like many others, is home to millions of strange, unhappy people of bad character and worse debate skills, and it would appear that every single one of them has a broadband connection.
For the last two years, I have been commenting at a popular blog called Protein Wisdom, which, though written from a largely classical liberal bent, is frequented by a crowd that's probably best described as conservative. Over the course of this time, I have made every effort to engage in honest debate without resort to incivility, saving my various lame attempts at barbed wit for those who conduct themselves badly. This has been confirmed by blog founder Jeff Goldstein, who on Friday noted that I "like to debate, and are civil in so doing," although he does express reservations about my methods and intent. "I don't think you are always as invested in the question under discussion as you are invested in the act of debating," he wrote. "And like any skilled rhetorician you have retreated to semantics when your position weakens. As have I." Likewise, contributor Dan Collins, who ran the blog for a while in Goldstein's absence and with whom I have debated on several occasions, noted on Friday that "I have always found you civil at PW," adding that "you argue in good faith, and make the effort to inform yourself and to consider other people's views." All of which is to say that I am a swell guy whom you would probably not mind dating your daughter.
Bearing in mind my your-daughter compatibility, the largely negative and often incompetent reaction I received is illustrative of a number of things, several of which you probably already knew without my help:
1. It is impossible to argue with a crowd of people who are constantly reinforcing each other's opinions.
2. Large groups of like-minded people, even when presented with facts to the contrary, will nonetheless advance false assertions.
3. The blogosphere cannot only be a useful means of advancing information that might otherwise be left untouched by the traditional media, but may also be a means by which nonsense is incubated, spread, and implemented.
4. It is important to ridicule people who damage the national discourse.
5. The internet is serious business.
It should be noted at this point, and will be related more thoroughly later, that Protein Wisdom was picked for this article not because it is some unusually terrible venue for online discussion, but for the opposite reason; in fact, it caters to one of the most collectively cerebral audiences one may find within the right side of the blogosphere. Several commenters conducted themselves with perpetual poise and good faith, and even some of the sillier reactions I received are not without some back story; as Goldstein told me, his readers "are forced to deal with a lot of trolls, many of whom attack me personally. My commenters have always had my back, and the quick trigger comes from their having seen how people who come by pretending to argue in good faith quickly degenerate into attacking me, my family, etc." Meanwhile, blog chieftain Dan Collins in particular was not only exceedingly civil, but also quick to correct any minor errors on his part when alerted to them, even when alerted to them in the irritating and unnecessarily verbose manner in which I like to alert people to their minor errors. Protein Wisdom was picked because, if such nonsense can occur there, one can imagine what sort of even more bizarre nonsense can occur on other, lesser "conservative" blogs.
Here, we'll take a look at a few examples culled from my growing list of hilarious examples. Later, in a series of follow-up articles, we'll take a look at how many of the dynamics listed above are universal to the blogosphere; why several editors of The New Republic are nonetheless wrong about their fear of "blogofascism," as one of them has called it; what the folks at Protein Wisdom have to say in response to this article; and perhaps something else. Incidentally, all of this is filler intended to disguise the fact that I am actually just airing my various inconsequential internet debate grievances. I mean, uh:
The Thomas Paine Affair
Protein Wisdom contributor Darleen Click, who has been running the site for a while now, at some point got into the habit of characterizing ACORN as a "criminal enterprise," presumably because some of its employees were found to have committed crimes while engaged in the enterprise in question. I suggested that, if this was how a "criminal enterprise" is to be defined, then the Catholic Church must also be a criminal enterprise insomuch as that many of its employees were also found to have committed crimes while engaged in the enterprise in question, and that these crimes were not only of a more serious nature, but also seemingly more widespread even when taking into account the relative size of the church. This made several people very angry, leading me to be denounced as some sort of anti-papist, which I am. I noted in response that Thomas Paine and other Founding Fathers were just as distrustful of the church as I; some fellow retorted that Thomas Paine was not a Founding Father; I replied that many historians disagree, and further noted that Paine "has long been referred to as the Father of the American Revolution for a reason;" the same fellow proposed that this could be because "people don't know what the fuck they're talking about;" I explained that it was Thomas Jefferson who first described him as such, and further implied that Thomas Jefferson may have known what he was talking about insomuch as that he is Thomas Jefferson.
The Point: If ACORN is a criminal enterprise, then so are plenty of other things that the gang at PW would probably not want to see referred to as a criminal organization. Incidentally, ACORN is indeed kind of a criminal enterprise insomuch as that it is an enterprise with several employees that have broken the law in the course of their duties – just like the Nixon Administration, the Carter Administration, the Reagan Administration, the Bush Administration, the Clinton Administration, the other Bush Administration, and, according to my watch, the Obama Administration, and also the Catholic Church. So perhap we should save the term "criminal enterprise" for those enterprises that are involved first and foremost in crime, such as the Crips or that incorrigible gang of older fellows on my dad's side of the family who worked for Lyndon Johnson before he was president. Oh, and the Johnson Administration. So, yeah, let's save it for the Crips and the Johnson Administration.
Advantage: Darleen Click.
The They-Did-It-To Conundrum
In the midst of a discussion about degenerate populist John Edwards and his then-rumored affair with some terribly trashy woman, a regular commenter called Mr. Pink wrote, "Well he does not have an (R) in front of his name so this is only natural. Carry on people, carry on," thereby implying that Republicans are treated unfairly relative to Democrats when found to be sexing up a sex-up partner instead of a wife. I made the following insufferable yet relevant retort: "Hey, remember when that gay Republican congressman got nabbed trying to pick up interns via IM, and Fox kept calling him a Democrat?" Soon, I found myself in several arguments during which I countered anecdotal evidence of anti-Republican perfidy with anecdotal evidence of Republican perfidy. Another regular commenter known as Big Bang Hunter responded to my tactic thusly: "Barrett, does it ever occur to you that arguments to the effect 'well they did it too', qualifies at the level of 5th grade discourse?" Ignoring his terrible grammar and the resulting irony, I pointed instead to another, far more relevant item of irony: "I'm sorry, BBH, I'm going to have to direct your comments to Mythos McGee, who was overheard to have told the duchess: 'Remember the laudatory proclamation that Gerry Studds (D-MA) got after he got caught shtumphing the pages?' Uh-oh! Blowback!" A regular by the name of Rob Crawford responded with a simple, "WTF is your point?"
The Point: What the fuck is it? My point was that it is kind of silly to attack someone with whom you're arguing for countering a piece of anecdotal evidence with piece of contrary anecdotal evidence when someone on your side has just countered a piece of anecdotal evidence with a piece of contrary anecdotal evidence. Or, to put it in simpler terms for the benefit of Rob Crawford: Primus takes a cookie. Secundus takes a cookie. Rob Crawford's political ally criticizes Secundus for taking a cookie. Secundus points out that Primus also took a cookie yet was not admonished, whereas Secundus was indeed admonished for doing the same thing. Rob Crawford is all like, "WTF is your point?" This is wrong.
Advantage: Rob Crawford.
The Bosniak Kerfuffle
On the day after the disappointing travesty of a vice presidential debate between Biden and Palin, Darleen Click decided that Biden had made some silly mistake which the media had ignored. "I keep hearing this morning that Biden was 'gaffe free' and had a 'great command of foreign policy,'" she noted, taking reasonable issue with the candidate's muddled narrative on the subject of our past dalliances with Lebanon. But Biden had also made, she claimed, yet another error, one that had been ignored by the mainstream media: "Funny, I don't know who 'Bosniacs' are…" I agreed that this was very funny indeed, thereafter explaining that the term "Bosniaks" – also correctly rendered as "Bosniacs" – is in fact a real word referring to Bosnian Muslims, and that Biden had used this correct term in a correct fashion, which, in my opinion, seems okay. One commenter expressed the contrary opinion that I was simply a "stupid troll." Another regular who had been making fun of Biden's use of the entirely correct term admitted that she had learned the previous night that the term was indeed entirely correct, but that "it's too funny not to mock him" for, uh, using a word with which she was unfamiliar; a couple of other commenters expressed similar sentiments. Someone else asserted that "[t]he trouble with using the term 'Bosniacs' is that it does not refer to all Bosnians," to which I replied that this is no trouble at all insomuch as that it was not supposed to refer to all Bosnians, as Biden had been listing the various groups which are now getting along in Bosnia and other former bits of Yugoslavia. An otherwise lucid regular going by urthshu suggested that it was ironic that I am "a comedy writer, yet you insist on fact being presented in a comment thread where people tend to just bat crap around and make jokes." At this point, the perpetually helpful Big Bang Hunter suddenly announced that "[t]he term is 'Bosnians' Brown. Bosniacs? You should get a hack job writing for Warners Bros. dick head." Rather than work for those pricks, I instead pointed out to urthshu that, contrary to his "joking around" theory, both Darleen and Big Bang Hunter clearly believed that "Bosniak" is some sort of crazy made-up word; urthshu conceded the point and asked me in a civil manner what I thought about the debate. Big Bang Hunter wasn't done yet, though. "Barrett, the joke is on you. No one said the term is incorrect. It would be like calling native Americans 'Americaniacs'. It may not be technically wrong, but everyone would point at you and laugh. Something you're probably accustomed to asshole." Later, Mr. Pink claimed that Tina Fey "has taken SNL into irrelavancy [sic]."
The Point: I don't even know where to start with the SNL thing, so I won't. Otherwise, my point is that (1) "Bosniaks" is a real term and Biden used it correctly, that (2) Darleen Click and a couple of regular commenters simply decided that the term doesn't exist instead of taking five seconds to check, that (3) other commenters decided that, rather than correcting these falsehoods, they would instead just play along with them, that (4) when I pointed all of this out, several people tried to pretend that those commenters who were clearly wrong about the term were themselves just joking, and that (5) it's best to end a numbered list with something divisible by five for purposes of symmetry.
Advantage: Tina Fey.
The Bear Slap Thingamajig
In the midst of a soon-to-be-aborted debate on whether conservatives or liberals are smarter in general, a fellow named Cave Bear with whom I had exchanged a few comments suddenly proclaimed that I had just been "Bear Slapped."
The Point: This all happened so fast that I really don't know what to make of it.
Advantage: Bear enthusiast Andrew Sullivan.
The Rick Santorum, uh, Incident
As some commenters were still angry that I had unfairly compared the Catholic Church to ACORN simply because the Catholic Church has knowingly employed and abetted some untold number of child molesters whereas a single employee of ACORN had assisted in what he believed to be child sex trafficking – and in case you're confused, as I am, it is the Catholic Church that is apparently being treated unfairly by way of such a comparison – the discussion again turned to these two "criminal enterprises" and their respective connections to prominent statesmen. "What conservative politician has closer ties to the Roman Catholic Church than Barcky has to ACORN?" asked a fellow called JD. As I responded: "Rick Santorum comes to mind – he goes to their functions at least once a week as he has for decades, believes that the organization is closely associated with God and capable of providing laymen a crucial connection with Him without which their souls will be consigned to torture for all of eternity, provides money to the organization, often praises the organization at length and in no uncertain terms, and considers the organization to be the most important institution in the history of humanity. Would you say that Obama is closer to ACORN, and if so, how?" I didn't receive an answer so much as a misguided outburst: "ZOMFG, a former Senator is a practicing Catholic! Burn him. Kill him. Throw him to the lions. I am still waiting for the classic liberal to actually act like one, instead of a fucking douchenozzle, apologies to actual nozzles of douche." Another regular suggested that I am a "hipster douchbag [sic];" yet another made a reasonable request: "Now, quit hijacking the conversation you dishonest piece of shit." I tried to explain that I had simply answered the fellow's question, and in rather neutral terms at that. Then I noted that I'd decided to write an article about all of these interesting people and that this would be finished and released later in the week. This must have made them angry because, at this point, some of the commenters began to act in an uncivil fashion. But Darleen, bless her heart, was simply inquisitive. "Are you going to include your dishonesty in your 'article'?" she asked. "You are making unsubstantiated assertions..such as because Santorum attends mass that is exactly the same as Obama's ties to ACORN."
The Point: It never ends.
Advantage: America!
A few things to note:
1. Other incidents will be published here as I go back and find them and to the extent that I might need any such things to back up my points.
2. Although several commenters at PW are asserting that I intentionally provoked them in order that they might look bab, this is clearly not the case; the idea of writing this article did not occur to me until about a week ago, around the time that some misguided fellow decided to knock Thomas Paine. And if any of my internet adversaries would like to point to anything I have done which is allegedly so provocative that it would merit the reaction I have received, they are free to try, and I will link to any such incidents from here as well.
3. Jeff Goldstein, though initially cooperative, is now upset about the piece, even to the extent that he recently said that he might simply shut down the blog. I believe he's changed his mind about that since. Still, he has accused me – accurately – of writing this article for money and has correctly noted that I tend to make more money if I receive more hits. Although I have noted in reply that this applies to he himself as well as any blogger who runs ads and attacks other people, he remains adamant that I ought not to be doing this, presumably because I'm not in the union.
4. As mentioned above, I will be expanding upon all of this in future posts.
5. End all lists with numbers divisible by five.
Update 3:30 p.m. EST:
It looks like Goldstein won't be shutting down Protein Wisdom after all; he has edited his original comment to remove that particular assertion along with some of his other, more flamboyant language. A screen cap of the pre-memory hole version may be seen here.
Update 5:25 a.m. EST:
Jeff Goldstein has sent me Protein Wisdom's "official response" to this article:
I think Barrett might have titled the thing, "Barrett Brown is, like, so much smarter than some blog commenters he could name!" and therefore saved his readers the effort of poring over this rather strained love affair to himself.
Generally, I try to write my headlines with some word play or a cultural reference incorporated somewhere therein. I also prefer that they not draw attention to my significant personality flaws.
