Skip to comments.Why Cant I Connect With Michele Bachmann? (Vanity)
Posted on 06/16/2011 5:26:37 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
Michele Bachmann should have me ringing doorbells and doing conservative flips to get her elected but she isnt and I dont know why.
She looks great on paper. She expresses conservatism clearly. She understands the dire situation were in and the remedies. Shes energetic and pleasant. She goes after the agent of our destruction. She can debate. She is attractive. She has a compelling life story.
So whats wrong?
When Michele Bachmann is on TV or radio, or I read her words in print, she has my attention and I agree with her but as soon as shes off the air or I move to another story, shes lost to my mind.
I cant be the only one who has this Michele Bachmann condition. This bothers me because TURNOUT will be what decides this election. TURNOUT will bring us a bullet proof Senate. TURNOUT will keep Democrat voter fraud from giving Obama 4 more years. TURNOUT will bring more states under GOP control. We need a standard bearer candidate that Americans will rally behind in earnest -- TURN OUT!
The roster of GOP candidates is varied and I will vote for the one who wins the primary. I dont think Romney has it. I know Newt wont make the grade, again cant. Huntsman phewt. Ron Paul keeps our feet to the fire but wont beat Obama. Santorum he had me once but now he just seems to be saying his lines. Pawlenty I keep working on remembering that hes in the race. Cain another conservative voice of sanity but wont beat Obama.
Two candidates not yet on the list Sarah Palin and Rick Perry they make me want to campaign for their election! They fire me up! I see them as carrying the flag and rallying the great silent majority of voters. They have it in spades. I want to win back the White House! Obama must go!
So what is it? Ive tried to figure this out logically but I keep hitting an emotional wall.
Does Michele Bachmanns energy belong in the legislature and not the executive? (Something I see as Newts problem (among others) he played a big part in orchestrating the 1994 takeover, then let it wilt away hes not executive material, but rather a good back-bench workhorse).
Id like your thoughts.
For me, it's her voice, high pitched. Love the gal and would vote for her, just don't want to hear her talk.
There are many liberals who feel the same way as you do. The MSM is loaded with them.
My wife and I were talking about Bachman after seeing her on Hannity last night. We came to the conclusion that she REALLY dosent have the fight in her. Sure she will pop uo on talk shows and throw a jab out there, so to speak, but she really dosent seem to have that grit its gonna take to win this one. Not to mention experience. I think when the msm gets cranked up on her you will see here ease to the back of the room and then on out the door. Time will tell.
I have to agree with you. This non-stop Great Pumpkin routine is leaving me cold too. IF Palin runs, then we'll talk.
("Wait, did I say IF? I meant WHEN!")
Everyone has a calling and Newt was a natural House Speaker and I think Bachmann would also make a great House speaker.
I see Palin doing excellent as the GOP leaders Michael Steele who seems like a nice person but something is missing that Palin has!
Sounds stupid and simplistic, but it's true.
Ambition just isn't the same as having a "fire in your belly".
I'm not sure she is running at all. She is building up a lifestyle that does not lend itself to making 400k a year. She just bought a nearly 2 million dollar home, etc etc.
If she runs, great, she will do awesome.
But to spend endless energy and arguments with others over something that is not even the casre seems fruitless to me.
When and if she decides to run, then we jump in for her. Until then, we eed to keep mitt from getting the nomnation.
Don't know whether your quote is from the General himself, or th script. If he didn't say exactly that...he should have.
He also said (and this is a direct quote):"There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time."
And...."Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack." "May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."
My god, we need a leader...and of all the Republican "candidates" and "non-candidates"...I know of only one who embodies - heart, mind, and soul - these prinicples. Only one.
I'll accept a "bradley" or even an "eisenhower" as opposed to leaving the stain in place.
But I want...we NEED....a true leader....a Patton.
This is beginning to sound like the putrid media "Gravitas"
Do you even know Bachmann back ground both women are qualified but are their talents executive, to motivate, or house speaker etc.
I agree. Palin because of her charisma, true conservatism, and perseverence. Perry because of his public conservatism and a real recognition of his electoral vote gathering probability.
Have you....ever....listened to an acutal voice recording of General George S. Patton????
His voice...while not the booming, confident, strident, hollywood voice of the movie...did quite well (tho described - respectfully by those who knew him - as "high" almost falsetto).
His actions determined his successes...not the sound of his voice. I doubt many of the enemy had time to laugh at his voice when he was attacking them...which he did all the time.
Voice hell....give me a leader....I don't care if they sound like Donald Duck!
And since you seem to be all about voices....the stain has a nice voice, doesn't he?? And look where it's gotten us.
Listen to the drumbeat...not the music.
Could it be that Bachmanns strategic thinking is more calculated, while Palins strategic thinking is more tactical?
I believe is the word you're looking for.
Both women are good candidates with some flaws. I could and will happily vote for either if they get the nomination, but right now my first choice was Hermann Cain. After his statement that fedgov shouldn't handle gun control because that is properly reserved for the states, I would need to hear something like "and should be restricted to decisions about felons, insane people..."
I don't trust Perry--he reads the blowing wind VERY well and does what he has to even if his heart is elsewhere. He has starpower but is someone who follows the wind a leader or a follower? I will crawl over broken glass to vote for him if wins the nom, but I will not be happy about it. As long as the wind blows hard in a TEA Party direction, he would be a great president. If we think we've won and the big problem is solved and we relax, not so much.
Lee Rodgers used to say, "Never fall in love with a politician, they'll break your heart every time." I agree with that pretty much except that I still love Reagan...
I believe starpower is a double edged sword. It wins elections and establishes policy, but the better bet is someone who has an unchanging record of action that you agree with and also isn't afraid to talk the talk straight out with rationally supported arguments.
Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini had starpower and all were viciously destructive psychopaths and just plain aholes. That magic and hard to define quality that made people pay attention and CARE can lead to disaster or to a glorious victory for good.
Unfortunately it really does matter in motivation for the vast majority of the people, and not just the foolish ones. We just need to be careful not to fall in love.
We are the TRUE broken-glass voters. There is no way, absolutely none, we will miss our one opportunity to vote against the Marxist Tyrant. Staying home is NOT an option. (Ahem...cue that Patton speech again, wouldya?)
You're wondering why the MSM hasn't come at her with their cat-claws yet.
Don't worry, they will.
Nice post and I agree with you.
I agree with you and your last paragraph pretty-much summed it up:
"Does Michele Bachmanns energy belong in the legislature and not the executive? (Something I see as Newts problem (among others) he played a big part in orchestrating the 1994 takeover, then let it wilt away hes not executive material, but rather a good back-bench workhorse)."
Plus, I sense 'selfishness' in her.
Enter Barack Obama.
I enjoyed reading your post (I appreciate your wisdom -- there has been a lot on this thread).
The next conservative candidate for the Office of the President needs to qualify himself or herself by exercising such leadership qualities as defining the debate around Constitutional questions like the Commerce clause, the War Powers Act, the Presidential eligibility issue, and more. Reagan had his failings, but one of his most notable and successful qualities was his determination and ability to lead against the voices who said it was impolitic to do the right thing and defend the Republic.
I couldn't tell if you were supporting Bachmann or not, was that in support of Bachmann?
So when you say "The roster of GOP candidates is varied and I will vote for the one who wins the primary." I hope you mean it. But when it comes to Perry I for one don't know if I can be as generous since I know too much about the guy and he and I have little in common.
I personally put more stock into being socially conservative as I believe the majority of our nations problems today are the result of the breakdown or growing lack of principals and morality in our nation. The bar has nearly hit rock bottom when it comes to what we expect of our political candidates and leaders today.
I saw those questions as an attempted set up.
I think most of us wanted to hear somebody say, "We're in several wars, only two of which actually concern us, we're broke financially and the @#%&* in WH is giving away money to our enemies; and you're asking deep dish or regular crust?!"
Anyone who did that would immediately be labeled as humorless, harsh and unfriendly at best. Doesn't work and play well with others.
Maybe they could say wars, broke, helping enemies, "...but I guess we do need a little comedic relief from the wreckage of our country" and then give a witty answer and follow up with "Does that help you know me better?". IIRC that was the rationale for the dumb-ass questions.
I was just thinking the very same thing.
I just think they are both great in their own way and they are young yet for now I see Bachmann as the Speaker of the House and Palin leading the GOP to victory.
They are both powerful women.
Do you believe that an Abraham Lincoln or a George Washington would have responded to such silly questions during a presidential debate?
I think Washington would have advised the questioner that his questions reveal that he is not interested in dealing with the issues of the time and removed himself from the debate.
These questions are designed to diminish the character and stature of the candidates. They are not worthy of a response.
If that doesn't sell well with the public, then the public does not deserve a serious candidate.
Bachmann says the right things. She has the right positions. But she does not convince me that she can deliver on them. With no executive experience, no major legislative accomplishments, no real signs of leading anything... it's hard to see why I should consider her capable of the Presidency.
We look for leadership, vision, inspiration, motivation, from among those who have previous executive experience. Those are rare traits, even in the best of times.
These are not the best of times. We are in a Crisis Era, following an Unraveling Era, the nature of which is that we have suffered about twenty or twenty-five years with a total lack of leaders in leadership positions, in every corner of our society. Liars, cheats, thieves, backstabbers, and frauds are ruling the roost.
We've packed our leadership positions with the PC mindset, affirmative action hires, people with family connections, negotiators, collaborators, capitulators, etc., lackluster leaders at best. In turn, these people foment the destruction of anyone who pops up with the qualities that make someone a natural leader.
Sarah Palin has "it"; none of the others do, on either side.
"Im like you, I dont feel the passion for Bachmann as I do Palin."
She lacks Palin's charisma, dynamism, and leadership abilities, she lacks executive experience, and gaffes like when she declared that Concord, NH was the place where "the shot heard round the world" was fired might lead some to suspect that she's a lightweight.
I haven't decided yet, but I like her so far. And I think I trust her. Let's watch see how she does....
I feel much the same way about Bachmann. She is far superior to the RINO stooges, so I could certainly vote for her, but there is something about her that keeps me from enthusiastic support. And I know, at least in part, it has to do with her personal manner.
Frankly, I find her manner somewhat annoying. For instance, there was a light moment in the debate Monday night and even though the camera wasn't on Michele, I heard her loud horselaugh over everyone else. And I know it's unfair, but her speaking voice grates on me. The more I listen to her, the more I think about her voice. After a time it becomes almost farsical. It's to the point that whenever I see her I think of the movie "Fargo" and Frances McDormand's character, Marge Gunderson: "Ah, hon, ya got Arby's all over me."
To be clear, I have nothing against Minnesotans. I don't love Tim Pawlenty, but I don't notice his accent. I remain friends with my favorite college professor, a Minnesotan, who, now that I think about it, sounds a whole lot like William H. Macy's Jerry Lundegaard. So it's not about where she is from.
There is no way Michele can escape comparison to Sarah Palin. On paper they are relatively even, but Michele comes up wanting, at least for me. Neither has been as consistently conservative as I would like, but I know there are certain compromises required in politics. Both women have admirable personal qualities and resumes. Neither resume is perfect. I wish Palin had finished her term as governor and I wish Michele had executive experience. Both women are bold fighters. Each has worked to hold the line against the Marxist onslaught the past few years.
So why do I instinctively prefer Palin? I think much of it has to do with her communication ability. I know she has an accent (heck, I've got a Southern accent), but I don't even notice it because she has an extra measure of charm and grace that Michele seemingly lacks. Those are intangible qualities Sarah Palin was born with and she knows how to employ them to her advantage. Some people just have an innate abilty to connect with others. In the end I think that's Sarah's real advantage over Bachmann.
If Bachmann should not get the the primary nod for her party then I could live with her being Speaker more so than the door prize of a do nothing VP. I am also one of those who believe while Sarah would make a good choice for the party I do not honestly believe she is going to run and give up what she already has. She is poised to become a king maker and that would be better for the party in the end IMO.
"I'll accept a "bradley" or even an "eisenhower" as opposed to leaving the stain in place."
Same here.
We absolutely MUST hose out the Augean Stable, formerly known as the White House.
Interesting point, but the Palin email anal exam she just went through pretty much proves she is exactly who she says she is.
As we know, life isn't fair -- all things and people are not equal (no matter what the LIBS keep telling our kids).
The "connect" gene is strong in Palin (that's what I'm not getting from Bachmann yet) -- it's like watching a movie and the character is sympathetic (you care about them - you connect on an emotional level).
For those ready to tell me I'm investing too much emotionally in a candidate, that is the point of my post. The voters must be invested emotionally in the GOP candidate to VOTE.
Cain's accent is a turn off for me too. I think he is a fantastic business man and a hugely successful person but he doesn't sound like an educated person. Sorry maybe that is just me.
I agree with the poster's impressions and reactions, and with those who contend that she says the right words but lacks the fire in belly to bring them to fruition in the rough and tumble of a campaign or someday against our enemies - domestic and foreign.
Sadly we no longer live in an Abraham Lincoln or George Washington world. I truly don't believe such stupid questions would have been asked then—nasty, attacking questions yes, but not droolingly stupid ones.
The dumbing down of students that began in the '80s by the teachers unions under the guidance of the Communist Party has resulted in a world where many more people could tell you every contestant in American Idol or Dancing With the Stars than could tell you who is the Speaker of the House.
A large part of the public DOESN'T deserve a serious candidate and those people weren't watching the debate, but they will hear the MarxStreamMedia ragging on the uptight, nasty Republican who can't take a little joke. Unfortunately, many of those same people DO vote and do so largely on the free flowing BS from the MSM.
I hate what has been done to us, but it HAS been done and we do have to work within the world we occupy. That doesn't mean we can't work to rebuild the world we want.
Maybe in the next debate one of the candidates can be a hero and in the introduction say, "I'm xxxx blah, blah, and I really hope with wars, broke, helping enemies we're not going to waste time on droolingly stupid questions like deep-dish or regular."
Head it off at the pass BEFORE they are put on the spot. It'd be extra good if all the other candidates would applaud. Then if the MarxistStream moderator still asks the question, the answer should be, "I'll take intelligent and pertinent for 400, Alex." Then if all the others laughed, I think this crap could be finished and the MSModerators would look dopey.
Reagan often deflected crap with humor and wit. It could be done again with good humor but serious impact.
I identify with a lot that you have said.
Also, what I hear from MB when refers to her biography/record it is mostly "5 kids and 23 foster kids" [3 times during the debate alone], and Fed tax attorney. As a legislator she has not accomplished near what SP as an executive. This is not Presidential material IMO.
For me, Palin impresses as being more genuine - Bachmann more political.
Sorry I went so long and didn't even realize until I hit post what I meant to say (apart from the deliberate destruction of intelligence).
Good humor are the words I was grasping for. Reagan was good humored and I mean that totally apart from his quick and pointed wit.
No matter how the MSM tried to smear him as a nasty Republican, nobody really bought it because they all saw his good humor. He could be quite direct too (I paid for this microphone!), but he could never be made to look mean spirited despite the ongoing attempts by fools.
Perry ? To nominate a candidate from Texas is political suicide.
All of our minds (me included) have been corrupted by 60 years of Progressive/Communist programming. It clouds our judgement, and prevents us from connecting to people who could be real leaders. Conservatives are people who have developed their natural gifts to see more clearly, rather than remained emotionally stunted like progressives. But we are still corrupted by our culture. We are all looking for the "perfect" leader. There never has been and never will be such a creature.
I totally agree with you. She is sorely lacking on the executive front and that really hurts her. People are critical of Herman Cain's lack of political experience, but in my mind his executive experience outweighs a few terms in the House of Representatives. He rescued both Burger King (for Pillsbury) and Godfather's. That takes talent.
One thing I can say about Bachmann is this: I am a tax attorney, so I am inclined to give Bachmann credit there that others likley don't simply because I know how hard it is to earn an LL.M. (Master of laws above and beyond her Juris Doctor) in taxation. That alone is proof of her discipline and drive. I know that in order to even be accepted into an LL.M. program, she had to excel in law school. Unlike Obama, whose grades have never been revealed, she really is qualified to be a law professor.
I believe Michele is running because she thinks she has a chance to win, not because she wants to do some great task(s) for the nation. Call it a vision thing, I sense more of an opportunistic politician then I do a dedicated American with vision for the country. Dido Romey.
My prediction is that is either Perry or Palin will get in. I personally would prefer Palin since I have trust issues with Perry.
I don't think Perry getting in would prevent Palin from doing so. Her philosophy is 'the more the merrier' and better for the voters.
Please elaborate on what indications you are seeing that tell you she is not running. I'm genuinely interested. Are you talking about the fact that she just bought a house in the lower 48? Or that she just bought a campaign bus and had patriotic symbols painted all over it? Or maybe that she just happened to show up in New Hampshire the day Willard announced his candidacy? Or perhaps it is the 2 hour movie set to be released the middle of July? Or could it be the fact that the movie is being released early in 3 states (care to guess which 3)?
I'm an attorney as well. I seriously question who Obama made it through law school. I was on law review and was required to publish articles and edit, etc.
Obama comes across to me as barely 1L level.

Janet Yellen, a Top Contender at the Fed, Faces Test Over Easy Money
The next chief of the Federal Reserve will decide when to reverse the easy-money policies of Ben Bernanke, a judgment that could strangle the economic recovery if made too early or trigger runaway inflation if made too late.
The task could fall to Fed vice-chairwoman Janet Yellen, a meticulous and demanding Yale-trained economist, who issued prescient, early warnings about the housing bust. After the financial crisis, she helped...

I recently sent an inquiry to the office of Denver mayor Mike Hancock asking about his position about the city's recent crackdown on dogs being allowed in tasting rooms. We mile-highers love taking the pups to our favorite microbreweries, but earlier this year the authorities started showing up and telling management that this was illegal.
Because – check this – beer is food. Continue reading
On my book shelves are several of the nicely bound sets of what used to be termed "classics" (i.e., books considered sacrosanct members of the Western Canon) that were all the rage many years ago when the American middle class aspired to be like their betters and give the appearance of being cultured – back when part of being cultured meant being well read, of course. Please do not misconstrue my intent here; owning a handsome set of "classics" is not the same as having read them. Lea and I have bought most of these sets in used book stores and antique shops and found almost all of the volumes in a given set in mint or near mint condition (after all, sitting on bookshelves year after year does cause some slight aging, as does being moved from the prominent bookshelves in the den to the ratty ones in the basement).
Thus it is that I have, as mentioned above, several sets of these "collections of ready made culture" (I have mentioned one popular collection in another essay). The set from which the book that is the subject of this essay, Travels of Marco Polo, The Venetian, is taken is called, interestingly, "The Programmed Classics," and is published by Doubleday. It's a handsome book, though the translation by 19th century "Orientalist" William Marsden is, at best, creaky.
So, to Marco Polo's travels…real or made up…. Continue reading

She was shuffling around Nakamise Dori, the shopping boulevard that leads to Sensō-ji in Asakusa. She touched a lot of elbows trying to speak to people who pulled away and ignored her. This did not phase her. She kept moving through the crowd, sizing up the passersby with a laser-sharp focus that seemed to cut through the communal illusion that we are all okay and everything will be fine…

A few weeks ago in a random historic-site parking lot in far-flung western Colorado I met a 60-something woman from Atlanta.
"You're traveling alone? Well good for you. I always wanted to do that but I just don't have the courage. Some day I will. You've never had any problems?"
This is a common question when people see me alone. A few variables in wording, some more direct language about scary people and places to avoid, but the sentiment is the same.
I've worked alone in many remote places over the years. I have occasionally stepped out of sight when I felt unsure about what was coming my way. I'm more often worried about destroying an axle on my pickup, not finding my way out of a random maze of canyons, or falling off a cliff than about other people.
She was tagging along while her dad walked his dog along Palou Avenue in Hunters Point in San Francisco. Dad and the dog are on the left. On the sidewalk nearby there was trash, discarded clothing, and a dead raccoon. Hunters Point can be that kind of neighborhood. But that didn't keep her from skipping, giggling, hugging dad's dog, and being the cutest thing lighting up the street that day…
(Hunters Point, San Francisco 2016. See more of my work here.)
The neighborhood story is the old man who lives in this house is a millionaire widower whose wife died 25 years ago. She was a beautician, the story goes, and the man keeps the old-fashioned hair drying machine on the porch to preserve her memory. He comes out at least once a day and sits in the hair dryer, watching the world go by but never speaking to anyone.

I returned home from vacation this morning. I had reserved a lift with SuperShuttle to save a few bucks on airport parking. Never again.
As we landed I flipped on my phone. I had an e-mail from SuperShuttle explaining how to check in on the mobile. Sweet. I followed the instructions and proceeded to the baggage claim. I was to select "Downtown" or "Not Downtown" and submit once I had my bag. Here's where it went sideways.
I wrote last week about Lee Smith's excellent bildungsroman Black Mountain Breakdown. In that essay I defended Smith's work, which falls clearly in the realm of what is sometimes unfairly dismissed as "lifestyle fiction" as a work of considerable power and a bildungsroman with a true twist: its protagonist collapses when she encounters her existential moment.
V. L. Brunskill's Waving Backwards is similar to Smith's novel in that its young female protagonist is trying to reach her existential moment, to come to terms with who she is as a person and what being who she is means. It's also similar to Smith's novel in that Waving Backwards might be dismissed as "lifestyle fiction," as another example of what is often described as that peculiarly Southern form of lifestyle fiction called the "Mama and them" book. Such works are invariably coming-of-age tales, usually with female protagonists, that look at the eccentricities of growing up in a Southern family.
Brunskill's novel is certainly about "Mama and them," but in Waving Backwards the theme of "Mama and them" gets taken places that readers have likely never considered. Continue reading
"Actually, though being well read must be a part of the process, an angler is tempered chiefly by practice and experience, by learning and attempting to reach the successively higher goals of his sport, and thus acquiring, through any amount of disappointment and frustration, the satisfaction of knowing that he is doing the simplest thing in the hardest way possible." – Arnold Gingrich
A slight detour from my pursuit of world literature classics via the 2015 reading list. I've had a couple of gifts this past week, both from my son Josh. The first gift is a new granddaughter, Susanna Quinn, our first grandchild and a wondrous new addition to the life of this old writer/professor/musician. Of course, in that endeavor he had notable assistance from his lovely wife Sandra, so credit where credit is due. The second gift Josh bestowed upon me was a book – you may let your shock and awe begin. We were on our way to pick up some dinner the evening that the amazing and lovely Susanna was allowed to come home from the hospital and when I got into Josh's car, there was a book in the floorboard. "Take that, Dad," he said. "I've been meaning to give it to you." It was a copy of The Well-Tempered Angler by Arnold Gingrich. Having just muddled my way through Andre Gide's Corydon and just become a grandfather, I was feeling the need for something – shall we say, self-indulgent? The Well-Tempered Angler fit the bill perfectly.
The book is on fly fishing, my favorite sport. I've written about fly fishing, on a number of occasions now. You can read this and this and this if you feel so inclined. I shall probably write about fly fishing again.
I think we have established that I have a certain fondness for fly fishing. So did Arnold Gingrich. For anyone who finds the literature of angling of any interest at all, or for those with a curiosity about how those of the New York literary scene lived back in the heady days of White, Thurber, and Parker at The New Yorker, and Hemingway and Fitzgerald at Esquire, the various sections of this book will be delightful.

Completing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in on March 25 was neither what I anticipated nor hoped for. My husband, John, and I have been planning our trip to New Zealand for months and since seeing the trek described as "one of the world's top single-day hikes" we had put it at the top of our to-do list.
New Zealand consists of two main islands and Tongariro National Park sits in the middle of the North Island. For people who are not trekking enthusiasts, the way that the park is most familiar is that it was the filming site of the fictional Mt. Doom in Peter Jackson's adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. There are several volcanic peaks in the park. Mt. Ngauruhoe, an iconic and stark volcanic cone became Mt. Doom–from which the One Ring was forged and to which it had to be returned.
First, let me say that the 19.4 kilometer "Crossing" was more of a "climb" than a "hike." If I had understood more about the nature of much of the trail in advance–I might have had second thoughts. I read through the website, did some other research, looked at the beautiful pictures. The incredible scenery was all there when I did the hike. But, not surprisingly, there are not a whole lot of pictures of the narrow hogbacks that had to be climbed or descended (probably because few people are of a mind or stomach to stop and pull out the camera under those circumstances).
Since my last post on the subject of Facebook (see Goodbye, Facebook below), I've paid next to no attention to it at all, reminded of its existence only by the slow feed of occasional email notifications, an onslaught that slowed to a trickle once I stopped feeding the best. Once in a while I'd click a guilty click to see a picture, perhaps of a friend's newborn. Other times I was curious to see if the powers that be at Facebook ever bothered to get back to me on my request to cancel my Ars Skeptica page.
A quick bit about that, as an aside:
For whatever reason, of the handful of silly pages I created, Facebook's magical data gremlins must have realized that Ars Skeptica was different. The others it let me delete without an issue. The Ars Skeptica page deletion provided a prompt that they would get back to me in two weeks time (many weeks ago now) to confirm that I do indeed mean to delete said page. Continue reading
Anyone who reads Eleanor Clark's classic The Oysters of Locmariaquer will come away from the book convinced of two things: 1) cultivating oysters is a complex and difficult task that might well suck the life out of one foolish enough to try to do so; 2) if the people from any place are up to the task of cultivating oysters, it is the Bretons. Clark's book falls into that interesting category of nonfiction made famous by the great John McPhee. That is, Eleanor Clark, like McPhee, combines meticulous research (there is more in this book than anyone this side of an ichthyologist would want to know about the biology of oysters and the history of human/oyster relations) with personal narrative (there are stories of the lives of Breton villagers who are tied to the oyster industry – or to Brittany – that can move even the most jaded soul).
Of course, Clark antedates McPhee, and perhaps he owes her a debt for combining the scientific and historical with the personal in ways that can engross the reader and make one learn in spite of oneself. After all, Clark won the National Book Award for Nonfiction with this tale of Belon oysters and the Breton people who raise them in 1965, the same year McPhee published his first significant work.

I was never a William Burroughs fan, but I nonetheless find myself thinking about his 1986 "Thanksgiving Prayer," surely one of the most caustic (and insightful) takes on our great American holiday. I'm in this sort of mood for a reason. Or two, or three.
First off, you may have noticed all the static around the news that more and more businesses will be open today, getting a jump on tomorrow's appalling orgy of consumerism, Black Friday. That term originated in the early 1960s, apparently, with bus drivers and the police, who used it to describe the mayhem surrounding the biggest shopping day of the year. Continue reading
Fishing on top of the old Smokies
In an entry written not too awfully long ago, I confessed to one of my great passions and pleasures in life: fly fishing for trout here in my native North Carolina mountains. As you might guess, on my bookshelves reside books related to that passion. Some, like The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide, might reside on the shelves of any serious angler. But some are specific to the sort of trout angling I do here in NC.
Such a one is the book in this review, Don Kirk's exhaustive look at trout fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (and nearby environs), Smoky Mountain Trout Fishing. Kirk does a fine job of offering suggestions to anglers about where to find trout, stream sizes, casting difficulties that might be faced by anglers (especially important to fly fishers), and the remoteness of streams as well as the strenuousness required of fishers for reaching them. This is all great info for any angler interested in pursuing that beautiful and elusive creature, the Southern Brook trout, affectionately known to mountain natives as the "speck." Continue reading

Can you decipher "R u rdng"? Well, if you can't tell it translates to "Are you reading", then you are not up-to-date with the latest text messaging/ online lingo.
Really though, are you reading? If you are, you are among the decreasing number of Americans who spend their time reading. In a report released today by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the number of Americans reading for leisure is significantly dropping. Only 23 percent of 1,052 people polled in this year's Harris Poll listed reading as their favorite leisure activity, a significant drop from 29 percent in 2004. The study reports the drop in reading for pleasure is dramatically affecting academic testing for young Americans in a variety of subjects including math, science and the obvious – reading comprehension. The dip in leisure reading isn't just affecting the American youth. Employers are reporting increasing numbers of employees who need training in basic reading, writing and interpretation skills. They're finding that employees resort to "text talk" such as "u" for "you," "2" for "to" and "b4" for "before" – and other such verbal shortcuts in formal communications at inappropriate and inopportune times.
So, what are people doing to replace the beloved tradition of reading by the fire? Are today's high-tech advancements – text messaging, instant messaging and the Internet – the culprits of the drastic decrease of proper use of the English language? And are we replacing one of American history's favorite pastimes – reading – with Blackberry's and the use of unemotional text messages? Can a text adequately reveal someone's tone and emotion? A recent Ypulse survey shows that nearly 50 percent of all 13-34 year olds use text messaging as a means to flirt or date. Ten percent have used a text message to break up with a significant other. We're using abbreviated texts to end potential marriages! Why can't we pick up the phone and make a call? Why can't we meet in person and actually share conversation? Are we giving up the art of the English language to make our lives easier with high-tech Blackberry's and Google chat?
I'm not trying to put a damper in this generation's tech developments. Jst chkng 2 c if we r lsing basic comm sklz. Thoughts?

text: 000 FXUS64 KLUB 141735 AFDLUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 1135 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2017 .AVIATION... IFR ceilings expected to continue at KPVW/KCDS through much of the afternoon as storm-relative flow maintains light precipitation and clouds in the wake of the exiting storm system. A band of heavier showers with sleet will pass through KLBB after valid time with gradually improving ceilings thereafter as drier air works in from the southwest. Expect in-cloud icing to continue across northern routes where deep, saturated profiles will be slower to dry. Gusty north winds will taper off with time this afternoon. && PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 410 AM CST Tue Feb 14 2017/ SHORT TERM... The bulk of precipitation with this winter storm system has pushed east of the area as the center of the upper level low pushing eastward just southeast of El Paso as of 2AM. A dry slot is noted immediately east of the center on WV imagery which is promoting the dry conditions across our CWFA. Some light echoes are evident closer to the low, most notably near Carlsbad thus confirming the enhanced lift under the mid level low. A concern over the past few nights was the temperatures behind an expected frontal boundary due in from Colorado. As suspected, the high temps yesterday across that area failed to reach deterministic model forecasts and a 3-5 degree difference in initialized surface temps is noted on the NAM amd GFS which more closely matches expectations over the past few nights. Given the interaction of the front, data suggest this will initially keep temperatures a few degrees cooler longer this morning. With respect to the upper level features, virtually all solutions appear to have poorly initialized on the closed circulation of the low (clearly evident in WV in WTX) being a good 100NM too far north. Granted, the overall structure is likely elongated N/S which is hinted upon by the deformation region in NERN NM and SE CO. The aforementioned dry slot appears to be already adversely affecting that region. A jet max is wrapping around the southern periphery of the low and while another minor jet max is noted upstream, the general tendency will be for the low to lift NEWD. All this suggest that the low`s cohesiveness and strength will be significantly impacted as it tracks across our CWFA. As such, any precipitation will be very light. Light precip is expected across the NW corner of our FA later this morning and a few hours of very light accumulation will be possible with the core drifting ESE into the NE South Plains. In terms of precip phase, it looks like it is most likely to be light snow in the NW with perhaps a dusting to an inch. Ground temps should keep any accumulations to a minimum. As the system pushes eastward, to around 100W, will probably see a -RA/-SN mix across the NERN South Plains. While initially a few degrees too warm for snow, wet bulbing should at least allow for some snow to reach the ground though no significant accumulation is expected. By mid afternoon, the system will be moving out with subsidence helping to rapidly clear things out save perhaps a few high clouds. LONG TERM... Northerly flow with upper level troughing will help keep Wednesday on the cooler side (mid 50s). Surface winds will turn back to the southwest by Thursday morning in response to surface troughing extending from central Canada and will help to warm temps back into the mid and upper 60s. The upper level trough that remains from the early week storm system will begin to push eastward by Friday as it gets kicked from a pow pushing inland from the Pacific. Friday has the potential to be windy as a surface low develops across southeastern CO on the back side of the upper trough. The GFS pulls the surface low across the FA by the early evening while deepening the low. The ECMWF is less bullish and slower with the surface low. Wind speeds for Friday provided by the ECMWF, even for the slower progressing surface low, appear to be too low (10-15 mph) given that the surface low will be deepening through the day. The forecast will reflect winds leaning more to MOS guidance. Upper level ridging will dominate Saturday as the approaching trough off the Pacific coast amplifies. This next trough appears to be our next rain producer as it taps Gulf moisture at the surface and Pacific moisture aloft. Thunderstorms would result ahead of a dryline late Sunday into early Monday. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ 24

Loved this dress!
Comments about Adrianna Papell Plus Hi-Low Taffeta Gown:
I would agree with the other comment that the style of the dress is more suited to an older women. I was looking for a dress that was somewhat trendy but suited to my age (58, size 14W) and I didnt want to spend a fortune. This was perfect. The sleeves fit perfectly (unlike the previous comment). The color of the fabric is great, slightly darker than the image and less shiny, and of high quality. The dress is fully lined. If youre between sizes, order one size smaller. Beautiful dress!
Im going to exchange this dress.

I love it. I got a size 18 and it fix great except the arms. It a bought cut off the circulation and I could barely move.
I returned it
Comments about Adrianna Papell Plus Hi-Low Taffeta Gown:
I didn't care for this dress on my figure at all. I'm 5'4'' and 35 and I was searching for the perfect dress for my little brother's wedding. I wanted something that offered some coverage on my upper arms but was still cute and somewhat youthful. On my figure, this looked very matronly. It would probably be great for a mother of the bride/groom but if you're on the younger side, it's not quite right. The material is also very shiny in a way that I did not care for.

Subaru WRX geared to take critics along for the ride - NH Broad...
There are 3 comments on the The Broadcaster story from Jun 10, 2008, titled Subaru WRX geared to take critics along for the ride - NH Broad.... In it, The Broadcaster reports that:I can't help but feel for Subaru. The purveyor of entertaining, all-wheel drive vehicles seems to be forever locked in combat and disagreement with its sharpest critics, who also happen to be its biggest fans.

I love my Subaru... I own a WRX... But I HATE the new 2008 WRX design. It looks like a Korean grandma car.
You say that it's still mechanically the same, but in truth, the suspension is much softer. Body roll has greatly increased. And the brakes have been downgraded. And look at it!
All WRX fans wanted was an aggressive design with a little more horsepower, a slightly tighter suspension, and a six speed. We got nothing we wanted.

man, subaru will change the front and rear end within 2 years gaurenteed look at past gen wrx's and how many times they changed, im my opinion the '06 wrx looks a fiar bit nicer then the '02. nothing is written in stone the wrx265 will has apparently adressed everything you just said aside from the looks. they got it, for one year you gota put up with a soft wrx, but that suspension setting and breaks will never be put into another wrx again(it will b e called 2.5GT,the name better suits that setup anyway)

The 2.5GT will only be available in an automatic and will have the same engine and turbo as the WRX does now. The actual WRX will have an upgraded turbo and suspension and will keep the WRX name and only be equipped with a manual transmission. There will also be sunroofs available in certain models which haven't been available in Impreza body's for a long time, not that it helps with performance by any means, but it is a big request and probably the most common custom job that customers have us install upon purchase ... along with leather, but no word that they're adding that in the 09' lineup.

2002 World Series: Game 4
Little hits have Giant impact
Game 3 recap
Game 4 recap
5 recap
6 recap
7 recap
SAN FRANCISCO As the offensive records piled up,
as the Anaheim Angels marched merrily along, suddenly the 2002 World Series
ground to a halt somewhere between home plate and third base.
By the time the Angels and the Giants realized what had
happened in Game 4, not only had the Series ground to a halt, but it might have
been thrown into reverse.
Amid the home runs and double-digit offensive shows, the
entire tone changed in the middle inning of the middle game on a couple of balls
that didn't reach the middle of the infield.
San Francisco's 4-3 victory evened the Series at two games
apiece after the Giants seemed well on the way to a second consecutive home
loss. Not only did they rally from a three-run deficit thanks to a couple of
bizarre twists, but the Giants won on what might have been the most unexpected
twist of all, a run against phenom Francisco Rodriguez.
"I don't think the Giants were lucky to win," Angels manager
Mike Scioscia said. "I think they did what they had to and beat us. Although
the rally started with a couple of balls that you add them up, they might
have gone 80 feet that's baseball."
Trailing 3-0, San Francisco manager Dusty Baker decided
to let pitcher Kirk Rueter bat leading off the fifth. Both bullpens were getting
plenty of work, and Baker looked to take some of the load off his.
Rueter managed to only nub the ball in front of the plate.
But Anaheim catcher Bengie Molina didn't get to it, leaving pitcher John Lackey
to field it closer to home plate than to the mound.
"I thought it was going to bounce to Lackey," Molina said.
"Instead, it was spinning and bounced toward me and caught me by surprise."
Lackey fielded it cleanly, but Rueter beat the throw to
first base, just the fourth hit of the game for San Francisco.
Kenny Lofton was next and bunted the ball along the third
base line. It was rolling in the dirt precariously close to the foul line with
Lackey, Molina and third baseman Troy Glaus monitoring its route. But it began
angling toward the grass in fair territory. The ball hit the edge of the grass
and squirted toward the foul line. Still rolling slowly, the ball moved millimeters
into foul territory and Glaus snatched it up. But in the split second it took
the third baseman to get his hand down to the ground, the ball was touching
the line when Glaus grabbed it. Thus, it was ruled fair, and the Giants had
two runners on.
Rich Aurilia followed with an RBI single to right, Jeff
Kent hit a sacrifice fly and, after an intentional walk to Barry Bonds, Benito
Santiago singled to tie the game.
The Angels would get only two baserunners the rest of the
game against Rueter and relievers Felix Rodriguez, Tim Worrell and Robb Nen.
Both of those runners would be wiped out by double plays.
Anaheim's previously untouchable Rodriguez 20-year-old
Francisco also gave up two singles. With the aid of another quirky bounce,
that led to the winning run in the eighth inning.
J.T. Snow led off the inning with a single to right, and
with one out, David Bell lined an RBI single to center.
Rodriguez tried to put a pitch on the outside corner to
Snow and one on the inside edge to Bell. Both pitches wandered just a little
too much to the middle.
It was one pitch with particularly good movement that was
the most crucial.
While Snow was on first, Rodriguez threw a tailing fastball
that had so much late movement that Molina couldn't handle it. The ball ricocheted
off the catcher's glove for a passed ball and put Snow at second, where he needed
to be to score what turned out to be an unearned run.
INSIDE GAME 4 Devin Clancy
Pivotal moment: After the postseason-record 11th intentional
walk to Barry Bonds in the fifth, catcher Benito Santiago connected for an RBI
single. Santiago had grounded into double plays in two previous at-bats.
Key decision: Mike Scioscia might have finally gone to
reliever Francisco Rodriguez one time too many. The run that tagged him for
the loss was unearned, but the runner had advanced on a passed ball.
Player of the game: The previous night's goat, David Bell,
made up for his Game 3 error with a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth.
The goat: Third baseman Troy Glaus tried to finesse a fifth-inning
bunt by Kenny Lofton and accidentally picked it up as it rolled back over the
foul line as a fair ball.

candicefugitt Review
My husband and I looked at Ashley Furniture and Bassett. We didn't want to spend an arm and a leg for area rug and runner rug. This was the perfect color to match our living room colors!! We are very pleased. Slight odor when taking it out of the wrapping but that's nothing a little febreeze won't fix. Great price! Excellent quality. Best online purchase yet.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was slightly darker but I expected it to be.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? pretty straight on.

In business, 5S implementation represents one methodology of lean management, frequently applied to manufacturing or production operations. 5S literally stands for five individual swords: sort, set in order, shine, standardise and sustain. The implementation goes through a process of, according to EMS Consulting Group, removing unnecessary items, reorganisation of the space, cleaning, procedure development and enhanced discipline. This process can have a number of benefits.
Other People Are Reading
Every organisation desires improved productivity, as it increases overall return on investment. The 5S implementation process frequently provides this improvement, reports Strategos. The removal of unnecessary items and maximisation of workspace efficiency alone can help to create improved productivity by limited the amount of time wasted. The less time spent searching through unnecessary items or moving through poorly organised workspace means more time spent actually working.
Improved safety represents another benefit of 5S implementation, according to Strategos. A clean working environment, especially in manufacturing, can significantly reduce the number of injuries sustained by workers. Spills of chemicals or liquids that go unattended magnify the chances of slips and falls. Methodical cleaning procedures limit the probability of such an event. Reduction in the amount of travel through the work environment also minimises this risk by limiting unnecessary exposure to hazards elsewhere in the facility. This provides an added benefit of improving morale, as a low incidence of injury conveys a concern on the part of the employer for worker safety.
Reduced Waste
Quality Management reports that 5S implementation typically yields a reduction in lost and damaged items. A workspace with clear organisation and labelling allows the workers to replace items in a designated position, minimising the number of lost tools. The appropriate management of tools and parts also means diminished odds of a stray tool or part damaging a product during the production process. A secured tool cannot fall onto a half-finished product. Sustaining the cleaning and organisation practices makes this waste reduction possible in the long term.
Worker Commitment
According to EMS Consulting Group, achieving worker commitment to the principles of 5S is a major goal of a 5S implementation, as they will be largely responsible for using it on the ground. However, 5S also encourages worker participation in the workplace design and maintenance. This involvement serves to engage the workers in the long-term sustainability of the workplace and can enhance their commitment to and pride in the work. Improvement in pride, reports Strategos, has the ancillary benefit of lower absenteeism in the workplace.

About Cyber Security Challenge UK
What is Cyber Security?
Government sees cyber security as a 'tier 1' national security issue and the UK has a national strategy to address the growing cyber threats to the nation, our economy, and society.
The growing interdependence of our IT systems and our reliance on highly networked systems and data they give access to, means that the growing threats we face individually and collectively provide growing risks to our social, economic even physical lives. Cyber security, which includes information assurance and information security is about preserving the availability and integrity of key systems, from attacks by criminals, foreign states, and individuals or groups with malicious intent.
Annoying malware, phishing attacks, and 'denial of service' incidents impact individuals, but having critical industrial control systems interfered with or damaged, loss of large volumes of personal data, and theft of valuable intellectual property are other facets of the overall threat we face via cyber space.
Why consider a career in Cyber Security?
This in an expanding job market, and offers a range of interesting and challenging careers not only within the IT sector but across all sectors of the economy, where an individual's efforts can make a significant impact.
In a world where our economies and social lives are increasingly dependent upon networked technologies we are reliant upon a range of cyber security specialists to protect us from the growing levels of attacks.
The constantly evolving nature of cyber threats means that the response has to be rapid and effective, and professionals in this area have to be flexible, responsive, and sometimes creative; they must be prepared to continually develop their skills and understanding whether through informal learning or continuing professional development.
Graduates from a range of disciplines may bring valuable technical skills and understandings, but employers and relevant professional bodies are keen to get across that whilst existing technical skills are of great benefit for certain jobs, the breadth of this field means there is a real requirement for individuals with these and other aptitudes including communication and problem-solving.
What sort of jobs exist?
The wide spectrum of job roles within the field of cyber security encompasses protecting government and corporate systems. It spans generalist roles covering a variety of security disciplines through to narrower specialisms. The Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) has identified eight main categories of jobs:
- Incident and threat managers, and forensic experts
- Risk analysts and managers
- Policy makers and strategists
- Operations and security management
- Engineering, architecture and design
- Education, training and awareness
- Research
- Lawyers specialising in advice and prosecution for internet crime and data protection.
Cyber Security Challenge is a collaborative initiative between government and business to identify and channel new talent into the cyber security workforce and gives some really useful insights into what working in cyber security is like, with short video clips featuring individuals in each of the job roles. The Challenge not only organises cyber security competitions – with valuable prizes - as a way of helping interested individuals to test and develop their abilities, but also provides a comprehensive overview of cyber security as a fascinating and varied field of diverse employment opportunities and its website is well worth checking out.
Where are the jobs?
Demand exists within both the public and private sectors, with opportunities across the UK. The GCHQ provides insights into working with the intelligence and security agencies.
In the private sector, security professionals are employed by a wide variety of business sectors, from utilities such as electricity and power, through IT and telecommunications, through to sectors such as banking and retail where the security of personal, financial and corporate data is truly business critical, and the pharmaceutical and other sectors where securing intellectual property is an imperative.
Supporting these and all other economic sectors is a vibrant security products and services 'vendor' community (antivirus and other software suppliers being household names) and consultancy community. Systems integrators, cloud service providers and others providing outsourced IT services are all actively involved in weaving cyber security into their offerings. A number of websites advertise jobs for new and more recent graduates such as indeed and jobisjob giving a flavour of current vacancies.
Cyber Security as a profession
'Cyber security' – taken here to include information security and the long-established discipline of 'information assurance' – is an established profession. There is considerable activity underway to help recognise the professional capability of both individual specialists and training and continuing education provision on offer to such cyber security specialists (and other professionals whose role encompasses significant aspects of cyber security). Graduate entry to employment in cyber security sometimes follows a career path reflecting a particular specialist job role (e.g. for 'penetration testers' specialising in identifying vulnerabilities to hacking and other forms of attack, practitioners may choose to seek to become registered by an organisation such as CREST – such bodies may offer student memberships.
How do you enter a Cyber Security career?
Dozens of cyber security undergraduate and Masters-level degrees already exist, but some individuals enter cyber security work, even that which is more technical, via other disciplines.
Be cyberstreetwise.

1 May and the Cinema
To celebrate 1 May, here is a round-up of films focusing on the world of work
There's a revealingly close relationship between cinema and work. What's usually considered the first film is, after all, Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory (1895), by Louis and Auguste Lumière, which shows just that – workers leaving a factory. Following this first example of realist cinema, many filmmakers have investigated the problems of workers, especially workers from the lower classes. They've created socially engaged works like Sergej M. Eisenstein's Strike (1925), sometimes with a futuristic spin, as in Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) or Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times (1936), both of which deal with the theme of alienation from a profit-driven society and its production chains.
Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves (1948) tells the story of a man who is robbed of the bicycle which he needs to work. Bitter Rice (1949), by Giuseppe De Santis, the film that launched Silvana Mangano, takes us back to the world of the rice weeder in postwar Italy. Dockworkers, trade unions and gang warfare feature in Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront (1954), which has an unforgettable performance by Marlon Brando.
The period between the mid-50s and the early 60s saw other important films, including Michelangelo Antonioni's The Cry, Luchino Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers and Ermanno Olmi's Il Posto. In the 70s, the emphasis was more political, as in Elio Petri's The Working Class Goes to Heaven and Giuliano Montaldo's Sacco and Vanzetti. The struggle between farm workers and land owners figures in Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 and Ermanno Olmi's The Tree of Wooden Clogs.
The yuppies of the 80s – ambitious, stressed and unscrupulous executives – appeared in the films of the time, for example Oliver Stone's Wall Street, with Michael Douglas, and Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire, with Tom Cruise.
British cinema has also contributed, thanks to directors like Ken Loach, Stephen Frears and Mike Leigh and films like Peter Cattaneo's The Full Monty, and Nigel Cole's Calendar Girls and Made in Dagenham.
France has produced Marius et Jeannette: Un conte de l'Estaque, The Snows of Kilimanjaro (Robert Guediguian), Time Out and Human Resources (Laurent Cantet).
The Belgian Dardenne brothers (Rosetta and The Son), and individual titles like the Spanish film Mondays in the Sun, by Fernando León de Aranoa, and the American Up in the Air, by Jason Reitman, have all looked at the subject of unemployment.
In Italy over the last ten years, we've seen a number of films seriously examining the different critical aspects of the world of work: The Soul's Place (Riccardo Milani), Mobbing (Francesca Comencini), Your Whole Life Ahead of You (Paolo Virzì), Generazione Mille Euro (Massimo Venier), Fuga dal Call Center (Federico Rizzo) and La Nostra Vita (Daniele Luchetti).

Mohammad Asif mocked by Indian fans
Mohammad Asif was part of the maiden Indian Premier League (IPL). Pakistani players only played he first edition as after that they could not make it to the league because of the political issues between Pakistan and India.
Asif played well in the event. He bowled well and took some good number of wickets. In one of the games he was mocked by the Indian fans as Asif was fielding near the boundary and the fans asked him to bring Shoaib Akhtar in the bowling.
The reason the Indian fans were mocking Asif was the last game which Asif's side Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Shoaib Akhtar ripped through the Delhi batting line and took 4 wickets in his spell.
Daredevils could not reach the score which Kolkata Knight Riders made in their innings. Shoaib Akhtar was playing his first game of the event and he absolutely rocked the Eden Garden stadium with some powerful performance. Asif had nothing left but to just raise his hands to the fans. He knew that this will happen to him after what Shoaib did to his side. Asif himself did bowl well in the game and his spell was not only economical but also there were wickets for him as well.
Mohammad Asif had a remarkable career as a fast bowler for the Pakistan side. But he exploded it altogether with his issues. He was one of the spoiled brats in the side. He was totally unaware of the word discipline. He was most of the times found guilty in issues within the team. In the 2007 world T20 he and Shoaib had a verbal fight which led to Shoaib hitting him with a bat. That caused a lot of fuss in the team. Shoaib was returned back to Pakistan after this incident and was penalize by the cricket board as well.
Asif then got involved in the spot fixing scandal. He was out of cricket for 5 years. Now he is back and is bowling well but it seems that Inzamam and company are not ready to take him in at the moment. They want him to perform with the old ball as well. Also the fitness level of Asif has also been pointed out by Inzamam in a recent interview. So there are a lot of things which Asif has to adapt in order to make his way into the Pakistan national side.
