Cynicism (Greek: Kυνισμός
) was originally the philosophy of a group of ancient Greeks called the Cynics, founded by Antisthenes.[How to reference and link to summary or text] The Cynics rejected all conventions, whether of religion, manners, housing, dress, or decency, advocating the pursuit of virtue in a simple and unmaterialistic lifestyle.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
Currently, the word 'cynicism' generally describes the opinions of those who maintain that self-interest is the primary motive of human behaviour, and are disinclined to rely upon sincerity, human virtue, or altruism as motivations.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
History of CynicismEdit
The Cynics believed virtue was the only necessity for happiness, and that it was entirely sufficient for attaining happiness. The Cynics followed this philosophy to the extent of neglecting everything not furthering their perfection of virtue and attainment of happiness, thus, the title 'Cynics', derived from the Greek word 'kuon', 'dog' in English, was assigned them because they lived like dogs—neglecting society, personal hygiene, family obligations, pursuing money—to lead entirely virtuous, and thus happy, lives.[1]
Toward modern cynicismEdit
Nearly 2000 years after Greek philosophers embraced cynicism, 17th and 18th century writers such as Shakespeare, Swift, and Voltaire used irony, sarcasm, and satire to ridicule human conduct and revive cynicism. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary and cinema figures such as Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, H.L. Mencken, and W.C. Fields used both these modes of perception and other, new ones in communicating their low opinions of human nature. By 1930, Bertrand Russell—in the essay On Youthful Cynicism—was describing the extent to which cynicism had penetrated Western mass consciousness, and noting particular areas where there was much about which to be cynical: religion, country (patriotism), progress, beauty, truth. Certainly, the first half of the 20th century, with its two world wars, offered little hope to people wishing to embrace an idealism diametrically opposed to cynicism: that people can be trusted, have good intentions, are caring, decent, and honourable.
Many felt that the second half of this century was characterized by a general rejection of virtue and self-restraint, and toward materialism—particularly in what Pope John Paul II termed "the cynical society of consumerism" in his 1984 Christmas remarks. The same communications media whose advertising bolstered consumerism also occasionally promoted entertaining conspiracy theories, thus adding a new "hidden agenda" dimension to the cynicism of some.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
In recent decades, scientific study of human nature—one book's title characterized it as The Battle for Human Nature [Schwartz]—focused new attention on cynicism. In attempting to counter the widespread belief that "jungle ethics" and the associated competition, self-interest, and survival of the fittest are innate to the human animal, researchers looked for a genetic basis for co-operation and altruistic behaviour, and signs that human societal participation ultimately was built upon them.
In underscoring cynicism's wide spread in Western society, in 2005 Yale University researchers found that children, as young as eight years old, regularly discounted the statements of others as tarnished with self-interest.[2]

What a lovely husband after all your pain and distress a marvellous outcome.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What a lovely husband after all your pain and distress a marvellous outcome.
Finished is better than a UFO
Congrats on your AllieB and your settlement! Wow, it is wonderful to see such useful tips on using thread! Enjoy!
Yeah You! I know this has been really hard on you. The new machine should go nicely with your "new before the accident" sewing room.
I traded my 440 for an 830 and there was a learning curve but I really do like it. It's an adventure when you learn something new and there is so much to learn. Classes from Bernina help immensely as does their website. I'm glad you have healed and congratulations on the new machine!! Enjoy!
Congratulations on your acquiring your 830!
I'm so glad you get a decent settlement. My mom slipped and fell in WM. there was something like flour on the floor and she fell. the shopping cart over turned on her and not only did the fall mess up her back and knee but it took out a big part of the skin around her knee. She's hired several different lawyers from very prestigous law offices and the guess they all sold out to WM except the last one. He didn't ask her about what she expected to get..nothing. he just settled for $20,000. He would take his part, give the one that comes in and tries to settle.can't think of his title right now...his part..medicare their part and mom was left with just over $5,000. Her back surgery alone without any complications was suppose to be $60,000. She hasn't had the surgery. She can't afford it. Medicare won't pay for it since she was injured at WM. WM won't pay either. needless to say she refused the money. She said if that's all there was to her pain and suffering WM needed it worse than she did...and she's still suffering both with her back, backbone and knee.
Welcome to the 830 club! I bought a gently used one a year ago and it is truly amazing. I mostly use it for embroidery - so fast and lovely. It is my third Bernina. enjoy and show us your stuff!
A dealer told me that Bernina is having a lot of trouble with the 830. Also, several people on here have had problems as well. Do some research before you buy, would be my advice. Good Luck!
I'm looking at the new 780 ... Supoose to have all the kinks from the 830 iron out.. The demos and what I've seen looks good...still thinking.....

IMAGES: What to wear, not to wear on dates
This is the perfect nice suit, tie and dress shoes. Guys, make sure you shine those dress shoes. Every detail can count when you want to give that good first impression.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
But guys, remember to iron your pants before you head out.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This is very nice for any man wanting to make an impression with a suit and tie. Remember, women are looking at the entire dressed up package.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Now this guy knows how to dress comfortable, but still dressy for a first date. Dress pants with nice shirt and dress shoes.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This is a nice looking guy with a dress shirt and pants -- but maybe add some dress shoes.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This fellow is dressed nicely, but could use dress shoes instead of the tennis shoes.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This is a nice shirt and pants, but make sure to tuck in the shirt. Don't wear a baseball or other hat unless it's dressy. Also, trade the loafers in for dress shoes.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Here again, guys, the nice shirt that's on top of the T-shirt would be good with dress pants and nice shoes. But not the T-shirt with opened dress shirt, baggy pants and tennis shoes.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Guys, the same as ladies, don't wear your favorite hoodie, jeans and tennis shoes. Make sure you at least wear nice slacks, shirt and tie.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Don't do the Steve Urkel and wear your pants around your armpits. Ditch the military boots for dress shoes and maybe add a jacket. You could also ditch the T-shirt and wear dress pants.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Now this outfit pops, and the bright pink should get attention from the guys. Heels can also be added.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Now this lady is dressed to the nines for a night out. Single ladies should follow her lead and even "dress it up" more with nice jewelry, like her earrings and necklace.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This is the proper way for a lady to dress for a first date. Steve Harvey says,"Leave something to the imagination! Ladies, don't give it all away at once."PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Here is a great look. Just a nice outfit with jewelry accents makes a good impression. Of course, don't bring the blanket. (Unless you're really, really cold.)PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This outfit is very nice for a first date, with heels and nice jewelry. Some men prefer arms and shoulders showing, though. So you can leave off the sweater or wear a nice dress jacket that matches if you get cold easily.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Very nicely dressed with a nice blouse, dress pants and flats. She could change the shoes out for dress shoes.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
She is dressed great for a date, but should ditch the shades and let her hair fall forward. According to the Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stranger, men like long flowing hair.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This lady has a great outfit with nice matching heels. Ladies, this is what you want to wear to make that good impression at dating events.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
This is great because men are attracted to bright colors like the purple and red in this shirt. The only thing to do different is add high heels -- and don't forget the makeup, ladies.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Definitely don't wear jeans, tennis shoes and a plain shirt. Wear dress pants, a nice blouse and some heels.PHOTO: Melissa Pena
Tucking the shirt in and adding a jacket would be good for both the ladies and gentlemen. Ditch the jeans and tennis shoes for dress pants and dress shoes. Click here for NC Dating Events Listings.PHOTO: Melissa Pena

While living on Murrin Bridge Mission we were not allowed to leave unless we had permission from the manager. On certain occasions he would let us leave, for funerals for example, or to work for farmers, picking peas and bagging potatoes. So we left and worked on that farm for one month. It was hard work, but we saved our money. As a going girl I thought it was wonderful; we slept in a barn on top of the hay then, when the month was up, we went into town to shop and then back to the mission.

Reviews of this property
I stayed one month here and found this apartment comfortable and ideally located for both Alt Stadt (about 10 minutes walk through the park) and Hauptbahnhof (about 15 minutes walk or take the tram direct). The apartment was very clean and the signing in/out at the start and end of the rental was very easy and completed punctually at the pre arranged time; which was excellent. The local area is good with a range of restaurants and shops nearby.
The apartment has for my needs (study abroad of three months) fit well. Particularly appreciated I have, that both in the bathroom and in the living room / bedroom heating very quickly and started off after 15 minutes was a pleasant heat.
If you stay only a few days, the apartment is suitable for two people, for long stays of two people, the apartment would be too cramped or too little space for clothes for me, since the storage space is limited in the wardrobe (I in particular the suspension part with my blouses and blazers exploited).
The location of the apartment I think is good, 2 minutes walk from the apartment there is a bus stop of line 704 (goes also. To the main station) to the S-Bahn stations zoo and Wehrhan you go about 10 minutes. The city center is within walking distance - to the Rhine promenade you go about 25 minutes.
Die Wohnung hat für meine Bedürfnisse (Auslandsaufenthalt von drei Monaten) gut gepaßt. Besonders geschätzt habe ich, dass sowohl im Badezimmer als auch im Wohn-/Schlafraum die Heizung sehr schnell anlief und bereits nach 15 min eine angenehme Wärme herrschte.
Wenn man nur einige Tage bleibt, ist die Wohnung auch für zwei Personen geeignet, bei einem längeren Aufenthalt von zwei Personen wäre die Wohnung für mich zu beengt bzw. zu wenig Platz für die Kleidung, da ja der Stauraum im Kleiderkasten begrenzt ist (ich habe insbesondere den Hängeteil mit meinen Blusen und Blazern ausgenützt).
Die Lage der Wohnung finde ich gut, 2 Gehminuten von der Wohnung entfernt befindet sich eine Haltestelle der Linie 704 (fährt ua. zum Hauptbahnhof), zu den S-Bahn-Stationen Zoo und Wehrhan geht man ca. 10 min. Auch die Innenstadt ist zu Fuß zu erreichen - zu der Rheinpromenade geht man ca. 25 min.
Highly recommended - Everything was fine - would stay here again!
Sehr zu empfehlen - hat alles gepasst - komme gerne wieder!
The apartment was in an expremely convenient location for the exhibition centre, airport and for Dusseldorf city centre being very close by. It also has everything you could need, iron, kitchen utensils and is quiet and convenient for nearby restaurants nad the wifi works perfectly.
I would highly recommend this apartment!
I was more than satisfied. Very nice contact gladly again.
Ich war mehr als zufrieden. Sehr netter Kontakt gerne wieder.
The apartment was very loving and cozy furnishings. I immediately felt at ease. Perfectly for me was the small balcony, where I could smoke.
A broken light bulb in the bathroom was replaced within a couple of hours. The apartment manager was very welcoming and always available. Highly Recommended!
Die Wohnung war sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Ich habe mich gleich wohlgefühlt. Traumhaft für mich war die kleine Loggia, in der ich rauchen konnte.
Eine kaputte Glühbirne im Bad wurde innerhalb von ein paar Stunden ersetzt. Die Wohnungsverwalterin war sehr herzlich und immer erreichbar. Absolut empfehlenswert!
The apartment was bright and sauber.Die location was gut.Statt a washing machine could have been as a tourist, however, was no longer a dishwasher gefreut.Das bed so schön.Ein pillow was very poor and the mattress was durchgelegen.Ich think these defects can you beheben.Ansonsten we were very zufrieden.Frau Aliani was very friendly and helpful.
Die Ferienwohnung war hell und sauber.Die Lage war gut.Statt einer Waschmaschine hätte man als Urlauber sich mehr über einen Geschirrspüler gefreut.Das Bett war allerdings nicht so schön.Ein Kopfkissen war sehr schlecht und die Matratze war durchgelegen.Ich denke diese Mängel kann man beheben.Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden.Frau Aliani war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Well we have two weeks till we come back from the bye and play Green Bay Packers at Our House. There will be plenty in the media that will be used to fuel NY Giants. I am sure so many have already decided that we already done and when we are not they will back pedal and change their tune. We have issues but I am confident we will fix them and we will come back strong.
I am going to try and get tickets for the game against Green Bay Packers and am looking to have a blast. Lets be positive and keep out chins up. We are in 1st place in the division and we control our destiny.
A video from last season for motivation.

Facebook Rising: UBS Ups to Buy, Bulls Cheer Instagram Video
Shares of Facebook (FB) are up 35 cents, or 1.4%, at $24.25, bucking a weak Nasdaq, as one skeptic on the stock is converted: UBS's Eric Sheridan ups his rating to Buy from Neutral, and raises his price target to $30 from $28, writing that the stock's valuation is low in light of the fact the company is pushing forward with new monetization efforts.
Sheridan raises his estimate for this year's revenue to $5.92 billion from a prior $5.81 billion estimate, and raises his 2014 advertising revenue estimate for the company to $7.55 billion from $7.28 billion. About 75% of Facebook revenue is advertising, the rest being payments and other miscellaneous transactions.
Among the new products is video ads, writes Sheridan:
Facebook plans to begin selling Newsfeed video ads in 2H 2013. While the specifics have not been disclosed, it has been reported that Facebook plans to sell daily slots with asking prices in the seven figure range. Each slot would target a different, broad demographic. These ads are expected to automatically play as the user scrolls through the Newsfeed (albeit on mute), and will expand if clicked by a user. That being said, it is our understanding that the final form factor of the ads (auto-play or user choice to engage) has not yet been decided. As with its existing ad offerings, we believe Facebook will have to walk a fine line in implementing these ads without disrupting the user experience. That said, we do expect these ads to gain adoption as advertisers are eager to leverage Facebook's massive reach, according to our checks.
Video ads, obviously, are the topic of the moment given that Facebook yesterday held a press event to unveil its new video capabilities for the Instagram Web site and mobile application.
Shares slipped yesterday following the event, perhaps reflecting disappointment there was no discussion of advertising, and thus no discussion of how Facebook will monetize video.
But Sheridan seems confident monetization will follow:
Our checks also indicate that Facebook will begin serving ads on Instagram, which has not shown advertising to date. Given its skew towards younger users (shown below), this could attract a different advertiser base than standalone Facebook. Once again, Facebook must be careful not to monetize this platform too aggressively. Recall that in December 2012, Instagram attempted to revise the advertising section of its Terms of Service, but was forced to roll back the changes after experiencing a significant, negative user reaction. That said, an advertising product that does not rely on users' content or likenesses is unlikely to face the same level of pushback.
Sheridan also thinks Facebook will be adding more context to advertising on its main site, which could help conversion:
On June 6, Facebook announced plans to reduce the number of ad products from 27 to less than half that amount over the next six months. Among the remaining ad units, Facebook plans to implement greater consistency and automatically add social context (as opposed to providing social context as a separate offering). We expect these changes will result in higher conversion, which in turn should put upward pressure on pricing longer term. We applaud this focus on a suite of core products by Facebook's management team and believe such focus will be rewarded with increased interest from advertisers. Our expectation for higher conversion is supported by a Salesforce.com study of Facebook ad impressions during Q1 2013, which showed that Sponsored ad units were typically more effective at eliciting a user action than their non- Sponsored counterparts. Specifically, Sponsored App Install Ads were 5.7x more effective, and Sponsored Page Like Stories were 13.7x more effective.
A number of other bulls on the stock sounded off today on the virtues of Instagram's video offering.
Youssef Squali, who has a Buy rating on Facebook shares, and a $35 price target, today writes "Introducing video into the news feed is an important step for Instagram, as it provides a richer, better user experience."
"It also lays the ground work for an eventual monetization of the platform through video ads, a market eMarketer estimates at $4B in 2013, growing 41% Y/Y."
Topeka Capital Markets's Victor Anthony today reiterates a Buy rating and a $40 price target, writing that "Video should drive up user engagement on Instagram" and that "video ads sure to follow."
The addition of video should drive up engagement on the Instagram platform. A quick check of the Google Play (GOOG) store highlights the enthusiasm from those who have downloaded the new working version of the Instagram app (we see several "love it", "wow", "awesome" "perfect" comments) to those who are eagerly awaiting a download that works (several are claiming inoperable downloads). The videos will post natively on Facebook. Instagram noted that 16B photos are uploaded each day along with 1B likes per day […] The logical conclusion we draw from the 15 second time limit compared to six seconds for Twitter's Vine, is that Instagram will ultimately carry auto- play ads similar to what Facebook has planned. Perhaps the auto-play ads launch on both platforms simultaneously, given reports of a delayed launch of video ads on FB until the Fall. At the very least, brands can pay to promote a post that contain a video, similar to what occurs on Facebook today. In our view, Instagram is shaping up to be to Facebook what Youtube is to Google.

"Texas Trails and Tales" program
ITC hosts 'Texas Trails and Tales' summer program
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 25, 2007)--UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures and its junior docent team will offer visitors a glimpse of life on the Texas frontier June 19 through July 28 in the annual program, "Texas Tales and Trails." As costumed storytellers and interpreters, they will bring to life the Back 40 interpretive learning area for the annual program.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up

Usually only open for special events and group tours, the Back 40 is a living history area at the ITC. The outdoor exhibits include a one-room schoolhouse, a barn, a log cabin, an adobe house, an old frontier fort, a windmill and a chuck wagon. The junior docents have studied each of the buildings and the ways of life associated with them. Dressed in typical frontier fashion, they will lead discussion and activities at each station.
"Texas Trails and Tales draws heavily on the junior docent corps," said Karen Sanchez, ITC education specialist. "Many of our historic interpreters start with the program as early as the seventh grade. It's wonderful to see them in positions where they can interact confidently with our visitors and share their knowledge of Texas history."
Each structure on the Back 40 will have related, themed activities. At the log cabin, visitors can do the laundry using homemade lye soap, an old washtub and a washboard. There will be roping and spur making at the barn. Visitors can "enlist" in the Buffalo Soldiers Company and march at the old fort. After a quick class with quill pen and slate writing in the one-room schoolhouse, guests can try their hands at schoolyard games like marbles and hopscotch. At the adobe house, guests can make colorful papel picada decorations and weave Ojos de Dios religious emblems.
The ITC has hosted "Texas Trails and Tales" since 2001 and has more than 3,000 visitors annually. A group of approximately 130 junior docents commits more than 10,000 hours of community service to the project.
"Texas Trails and Tales" is included with ITC regular admission, $7 for adults and $4 for children, seniors and military with ID. Back 40 hours are 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday. The museum floor hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday, noon-5 p.m., Sunday, and closed Monday.

Blackfoot, Idaho Falls will pay for mayor, city council runoffs
Runoff will cost cities money
BLACKFOOT, IDAHO - Election Day was Tuesday, but two cities will still have to decide on a few of their elected officials in a runoff December 3. But what is a runoff election and, more importantly, how much does it cost?
Three local cities have a "50 plus one" rule. That means a candidate needs to get 50 percent of the vote, plus one additional vote to get the seat available. Some cities have that both for the mayor and City Council, others for just the mayor. Blackfoot, Pocatello and Idaho Falls are two such cities.
Because Blackfoot's mayoral candidates, and the Idaho Falls City Council candidates did not get that "50 plus one," there will be a runoff election.
With a runoff election, each position only has two people running for each: the two people who received the most votes on Tuesday's election. But for each city, the runoff will cost several thousand dollars.
One of the main questions with a runoff election is why it exists in the first place. Many people feel if you've already cast your vote and a candidate has the majority, that should be enough. But current Blackfoot Mayor Mike Virtue said that's not always the best way to go.
"Shouldn't the mayor who's going to run the city have some size of a mandate?" Virtue said Wednesday afternoon. "Shouldn't it be at least 50 percent of the population or the voters that want them? You could argue that, too."
With Blackfoot's mayor race now between Paul Loomis and Dan Cravens, Blackfoot residents will have to hit the polls again, this time for a cost. Idaho Falls residents will have to do the same to decide their City Council.
Every May and November there's an election, Bingham County will run the election at no cost to the city. Because Blackfoot has this special mayoral runoff, that's going to cost about $7,000.
Virtue said the city budgeted for that cost, as they assumed there would be a larger candidate pool without Virtue bidding for mayor again. That cost is 20 percent of Bonneville County's project cost for the runoff -- $35,000.
The money pays for the equipment, and ballots, but the majority goes to pay the poll workers, and their rate of pay varies by county. Bonneville County pays $8.50 an hour, with about 140 poll workers on the job for 16 hours.
Blackfoot is a little different, as Virtue said the paid people usually hand-count the ballots and they have a large amount of volunteers.
"Once all the ballots are collected, put in the box and transferred, you've got people who are primarily paid to do the counting side," Virtue said.
Virtue also addressed low voter turnout, as he said it's common for local elections. Blackfoot had about 12 percent of registered voters actually vote.
"The people have a voice, and the voice and the power is in the vote," Virtue said. "If you don't take advantage of that, then where are we in terms of exercising that right and freedom we were given?"
The runoff elections for Blackfoot and Idaho Falls will take place on Dec. 3. There will also be the option to vote by absentee ballot.

Combating racial discrimination and intolerance in Albania: Round Table of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) in Tirana
Date: 2 October 2012.
Venue: Tirana – Tirana International Hotel.
Organisers: ECRI in co-operation with the People's Advocate (National Ombudsman) and the Commissioner for the Protection from Discrimination, on the occasion of the Albanian Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
Participants will discuss the follow-up given to the recommendations contained in ECRI's 2010 report on Albania. The round table will be divided into four sessions:
The event will be opened by Jenő Kaltenbach, Chair of ECRI, and Qirjako Qirko, Director of International Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Opening speeches will be given by Igli Totozani, People's Advocate, and Irma Baraku, Commissioner for the Protection from Discrimination. Jean-Charles Sacotte and Abdel Hamid Beyuki, members of ECRI, will present ECRI's last report on Albania. Gün Kut, member of ECRI and UN CERD (United Nations Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination) will present the common areas of concern in ECRI's report and the CERD's Concluding Observation.
In addition to central and local authority officials, the round table will bring together the representatives of the justice system, international organisations, NGOs, minority groups and civil society. This event aims at contributing positively to the national debate on combating racial discrimination and intolerance in Albania, as well as raising awareness among the general public about these issues.
In its fourth report on Albania of March 2010, ECRI expressed its concern about some issues, such as the low awareness of discrimination, the social and economic difficulties faced by Roma and Egyptians and the lack of an independent system for the investigation of allegations of ill treatment by the police. ECRI made also a certain number of recommendations to the Albanian authorities, among which the following three will be revisited by the end of this year:
The round table is open to the press. It will start at 9 am and end at 5 pm on Tuesday 2 October 2012.
Press contact: Stefano Valenti, Council of Europe, tel. +33 (0)3 90 21 43 28 email@example.com

The Department of Philosophy and Liberal Studies will host guest lecturer Dr. Andrew Eshleman, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, on Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 2 p.m. in the R.J. Wills Lecture Hall in the Campus Center. Dr. Eshleman will lead a lecture and discussion on the topic of free will and moral responsibility.
Dr. Eshleman teaches a variety of courses at UALR, including Religious Worldviews, Philosophy of Religion, Eastern Thought, Ethics and Society, Reasoning Across the Disciplines, Medical Ethics and Modern Philosophy.
His primary area of research interest is in examining the conditions under which people judge it reasonable to hold persons responsible for their actions and character.
"One of the interesting things about this area is the increasing awareness of the ways in which it involves consideration of issues in ethics in conjunction with issues associated with the traditional debates about the nature of human freedom," Eshleman asserts.
Dr. Eshleman has a doctorate in philosophy from the University of California, Riverside and master's degrees in religion and philosophy from Claremont Graduate University.

I think we have the talent on offense even without Nicks. The issue to me is not using everyone properly or lack of changing game plans and offensive strategies.
I think we have the talent on offense even without Nicks. The issue to me is not using everyone properly or lack of changing game plans and offensive strategies.
He utilizes a variation of the 'Run and Shoot' offense, the original conception was designed for a 4 wide set and increase running abilities, his base is normally a Two wide set with the occasional Three, and a one dimensional run game,
he is not a high level Coach, and this Superbowl argument is tiresome, the offense didn't Win the Superbowl or get them into it, the defense got hot and they rode it,
he forces players into his concept which regardless if they won twenty Superbowl's it's an Egotistical way of looking at things, a complex offense for the sake of boasting complexity in the league, you have to be able to adapt to the players and incorporate their strengths and skill sets

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
2. Since KG has been our OC, we have had the most prolonged period of offensive success I can remember as a Giants fan. Our offense is more dynamic than it has ever been.
I'm not a huge KG fan because he is (in my view) far too rigid in his philosophy, but there is no doubt that he has been a successful OC for us.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Why discount the SB argument? Isn't that the pinnicle of success and what we are trying to acheive? I'd rather win SBs with Gilbride than have the best offense and not win the big one, ala the Patriots.
Do not feed the trolls.

Louis CK and Morgan Freeman both did AMAs on Reddit yesterday. Almost broke the internet.
Someone asked Louie,"What is your favorite movie, and why is it Die Hard?" and he said that he legitimately laughed at that, lol
Morgan Freeman's AMA was incredibly lame. He's too old for the internet. lol

"We send our deepest sympathies to Francis Nyaruri's family and colleagues," said CPJ's
Nyanza deputy police Chief Larry Kieng confirmed to reporters that Nyaruri's body was found in a thicket in Kodera Forest, Nyanza Province, on Thursday, decapitated with hands tied behind his back and marks on his body. Nyaruri's wife, Josephine Kwamboka, identified her husband at a Kisii hospital, according to local reports. Kieng said a team of senior officers had been dispatched to Nyamira to investigate the murder, the private daily The Standard reported.
Prior to his disappearance, Nyaruri had written a series of articles that exposed financial scams and other malpractice by the local police department, local journalists told CPJ. The journalists said Nyaruri had told them of unspecified threats by police officers in the area for articles he had written in the Weekly Citizen.
Nyaruri left his residence in Nyamira at about 7:30 am on January 15 and traveled 19 miles (30 kilometers) to Kisii to purchase construction materials, local journalists reported. Kwamboka told reporters that she had spoken to him at 11 a.m. the same day but did not hear from him again.
Francis Nyaruri is the second journalist killed in
