So on her sixteenth birthday, which was maybe a year and a quarter ago, right, her big sister had taken her out to this fancy restaurant in LA with a French name which all the friends she'd met in law school had gone to, apparently her old boyfriend had taken her there before - yeah, Maya remembered that. And her big sis had said 'you're growing up, kid. Order anything you want, my treat, I won't even tell Aunt Morgan.' Maya had looked at the menu and it had blurred in front of her eyes and there were words like 'bisque' and 'boullabaisse' and 'braised' and the prices were down the side in a neatly printed column, without the dollar signs, presumably so you wouldn't have an aneurysm and stagger out the door as soon as you saw them and would hopefully get fooled into sacrificing your mortgage for a really good plate of fries. (Hand cut, seared in Italian olive oil, rock salt from the Mediterranean.) When the waiter'd come around and Mia was pursing her lips like maybe she'd picked the wrong place, should've just gone to a Japanese restaurant like they had at home, maybe thinking Maya was still too much of a kid, really to come here, Maya realised she just. Didn't really want that. So she put down the menu and she said, "Burger."
"A...burger?" the waiter said like he'd never heard of one and c'mon that was kinda funny, so Maya had laughed, and when she'd looked around Mia was stifling a snort too, not at her but at the waiter. So Maya grinned her biggest grin and said "yeah, a burger! Extra onions, please."
"There's no burger on the kids' menu," the waiter said.
"Oh," Maya said, "great! Well, good thing then I'm sixteen years old."
The waiter grinned nervously. "Oh, I - I'm sorry ma'am, it's just -"
"Burger," Maya said. "You can serve those to grownups, right?"
When it came it was missing the onions but it had damn good beef and Maya had to open her mouth really, really wide to fit it in. She chomped down and juice dribbled down her chin. She'd flickered her eyes sideways and Mia was watching her with a big grin on her face, not mocking, no - they'd played their fair share of pranks but that was a while ago and Mia was a lot older than her. Mia had always taken care of her, looked out for her, even when no one else could. It had been tough when she'd left for Stanford – which apparently was a really, really damn good school, but what would Maya know - to do law, find their mother, get revenge on White but you know. Maya still had the elders, Pearly, everyone.
Mia slipped her a twenty when she was done.
"What's this for?"
"Tip for the guy," her sister said. "You have to tip them even at places like these where they actually get paid."
"...Waiters don't get paid?"
"Huh," Mia said. "Maybe I should take you out more."
Maya had silently agreed but Mia was pretty busy and she didn't want to bother her. Must suck to have her kid sister tagging everywhere. But Maya couldn't regret the night because that burger had been really, really nice.
They'd gone to see a movie. Something mainstream, not the samurai flicks that took ages to download with Kurain's ancient broadband from like 2010 or something but were always worth it. But this movie was worth it too; it had this nice music, even if she felt kind of strange and lost when she saw the two leads kissing at the end. And Mia had given her a piece of evidence from her latest case to hold onto, which made her feel useful. So there was that.
Maya was thinking of that night a year and a quarter ago as she listened to the last of her loose change clattering in the vending machine. Her bottle of pineapple ice tea wobbled but didn't budge.
"Oh, for - " Maya kicked it and it fell through but got stuck. "Damn it!" she said loudly, and immediately felt guilty, like there was going to be Aunt Morgan hovering over her shoulder with a cane to rap on her knuckles the second she said anything worse than 'gosh dang it to heck'. She had to grow out of that. She was an independent girl and she could say whatever the - the hell she wanted.
Seventeen years old and she had her own place in the city, and she wasn't even going to school. She'd always felt kind of smug whenever she watched the kids with their bags and their books and their tired expressions filing into the local high school but lately it'd been kinda different - not like she'd ever been good at that school stuff, but it kind of felt weird to know she'd never have the chance for a career like her big sis. No. She had something better. More honourable. Passing down the tradition that ran in her blood that Mia had abandoned when she'd left her family, left the tradition that could kill her and Mia had just put on her shoulders like she deserved that burden-
Maya instantly felt terrible. She couldn't think like that. She was the only one left. Mia was –
Mia was gone, her sister was dead. She'd left her again. There was – she didn't even know.
She ended up just filling a chipped Fey & Co. mug with water from the faucet. She sat down on her old couch, which was from Fey & Co. before Mia'd gotten hold of that leather slice of heaven, and she looked at the cupboard which was full of instant noodles and seaweed and rice that she'd rather starve than eat right now, and out the window, which faced onto a brick wall which had an inexplicable yellow smiley face graffitied onto it.
She stared out the window for a long time and thought about crying. It didn't happen. She just felt kind of. She didn't know. Empty? Lonely. Well, she didn't know what to do. There was something wrong in her life now. Everything was – different.
Her sister was dead. She mouthed the fact like that would make it not be real, maybe.
She put down the mug after a while and laced her fingers together. Okay. There was something. Mia's guy. Nick. That had been pretty cool. He'd saved her, like she was worth saving. Maya Fey, who here in this city was a high school dropout with no family and no money and a murder charge under her belt.
Maybe she should just go home. Aunt Morgan kept saying she should.
She ended up heading to Fey & Co. instead, not worrying about opening hours. Phoenix would probably still be there.
When she got to the door she realised she'd been thinking about it wrong. Wright and Co. It was Wright's place now. And apparently she was the co. Whatever that stood for. Codifier? Cowriter? Conwoman?
She tried the handle and it opened easily. The place had the lights on but reception was empty. With a sickening sense of déjà vu she went through to the main office but that was empty too. Apparently the drycleaners hadn't come yet because there were still water and blood stains on the carpet. There was a bright blue suit jacket lying crumpled on the desk. Phoenix's.
She remembered then that the place had a mini kitchen in the back where clients didn't go. Maya had spent a bit of time in there, had a couple of frozen pizzas in the freezer for emergencies. She went in. Phoenix was there with a dubious expression on his face, slumped in a chair pushed up to the bench, his sleeves pushed up to his elbows, his tie loose and his collar unbuttoned. He was fiddling with a very small glass. There was a saltshaker and a tall bottle full of clear liquid next to him. Water? For some inexplicable reason he was also surrounded by sliced up limes.
"Nick?" she said tentatively, and he jerked, spilling salt everywhere.
"Maya!" he said, jumping up. "Maya I – I wasn't expecting you –"
She stepped into the kitchen and wow, he was big. Tall, broad shoulders, strong forearms. She'd never had any guys around in the village growing up and it was embarrassing to admit but really, she'd never been this close to…
"What's all this?" she said.
"Um," he said, blushing, "uh, it's, Larry's – I mean, it's mine, but. Larry's idea. He said I needed a coping mechanism. 'Cause my hot boss died and all." He blushed even more at that. "Not that I thought she was hot, that I'm only upset because she was hot, I mean, those were his words –"
"You don't think my sister was – hot?" Maya said almost defensively.
"Of course I –" His mouth snapped shut.
Maya started to laugh. After a minute so did he.
"Yeah," he said, chuckling, gesturing at the stuff on the bench, "all this crap is just stuff Larry brought over to cheer me up or something. He's a bit of a jerk and thinks cheap tequila is just the thing to make me feel better. And yeah, he genuinely only thinks I'm upset because I, um, never got to sleep with your sister. There's a reason I don't hang out with him much. Anyway, rest assured that he's right about one thing." He shrugged. "I'm not even sure what the limes are for."
Alcohol? Of course. Right. Phoenix was, what, twenty-four? Of course he drank. She hadn't even thought of that. In Kurain she'd had sips of ceremonial sake but she wasn't allowed actual drinking 'til she was like twenty-one and that was, well, ages away.
"Has Larry taken you drinking before?" she said, still standing there.
"Couple of times," Phoenix said. "Um. It wasn't much fun." He looked at his shoes. "Involved a lot of puking. I'm a total lightweight."
"Right," Maya said. "Oh. I've…I never –"
"Uh, it's okay," he said awkwardly, sticking his hands in his pockets. "What are you, eighteen?"
"Seventeen," she said.
"Yeah, that's right. That's what I wrote in the profiles." He opened his mouth, blushed again and looked away. "Seventeen, yeah."
Somehow she ended up sitting with him at the bench, chewing on a slice of lime while Nick tipped the bottle of tequila back and forth, apparently still contemplating getting drunk. Getting drunk honestly sounded terrifying to Maya and she didn't think it would make her feel better at all, but maybe it was worth a try.
"Can I have some of that?" she asked on impulse, making Phoenix turn and look at her with wide eyes.
"Oh my god, no," he said weakly, shoving the bottle as far away as possible. "I – sorry, but. No?"
"But," she said, feeling her eyes go wide, and then she remembered, she wasn't even legal and he'd just gotten off a murder charge and probably wasn't feeling up to a fine right now or even the guilt of breaking the law, and she remembered her sister, how she stuck by the law, the right thing to do, which probably didn't involve being underage and asking your probably-technically-boss for alcohol, and felt horribly awkward and embarrassed all of a sudden.
"Sorry," she said, voice cracking slightly.
"Uh, that's fine," Phoenix said. They sat in silence for a bit. Then he shrugged and poured himself a small glass.
"Shouldn't you find out what to do with the limes f-"
"Probably," he muttered, and knocked it back. It was fine for a few seconds until he choked, face turning bright red, and ended up spraying his mouthful all over the sink. He resurfaced with his blush firmly in place, and his breath smelling really weird, which Maya discovered when she went to run the faucet.
"Ouch," he gasped, sculling the glass over water she brought him. "That killed. Oh, that's good." He ran to the sink and refilled it.
Maya was getting hungry. She went to look in the freezer, took out one of the pizzas and stuck it in the microwave. She watched it go round and round, watched the numbers tick down, and when she heard Phoenix running his third glass of water for some reason she was suddenly and achingly aware of her position – seventeen years old and she'd never been to school, with an allowance that barely allowed her to buy burgers after she'd covered rent, wardrobe full of evidence she'd been holding onto that had never been picked up, with a job in a noodle shop nobody came to (and what did you know, apparently serving staff really didn't get paid a whole lot), wearing clothes that made people stare like she was some kind of freak, constantly fielding phone calls from her hometown telling her to just come train at home Mia's gone there's nothing there for you in that city, and right now she was standing in her dead sister's office heating pizza for this guy, this guy with broad shoulders and dumb hair smelling of alcohol, who was pretty damn tall and strong-looking and he might be getting drunk and she didn't really know him and she hadn't brought her pepper spray –
-this guy who'd saved her.
"What are you doing?"
"Nick," she said, grinning brilliantly, "we're gonna have a movie night. Do we have any soda?"
The microwave beeped and she hauled out a plate to put the pizza on.
"A…movie night?" Phoenix said.
"Yeah. It's Friday, there's always something on in the evening! C'mon, get moving. You turn on the TV and I'll get the drinks." She handed him the pizza and went to the fridge, feeling Phoenix's eyes on her back. Then he silently went out of the kitchen.
In the fridge was a sticky note stuck on the milk in Mia's handwriting saying 'THIS EXPIRES SOON! PLEASE DRINK!' There were some cans of beer and a large half-empty bottle of Coke. She looked at the beer and had a momentary panic attack – would Phoenix want her to bring it to him or just want the Coke? Eventually, after tipping the milk down the sink and violently crumpling the carton, she just shrugged and grabbed everything.
Phoenix had found some movie about kids in high school, wearing colourful clothes, all in cliques with their blondes and brunettes and petty boyfriend troubles. It was like observing aliens from another planet. She wondered if he really wanted to watch this, but mentally shrugged as she plonked down next to him. He'd picked it, he could deal. The pizza plate was on his lap and he was taking small bites from a small slice. Well, more for her. She grabbed the biggest piece and chomped. He looked over and a smile tugged the corners of his mouth.
Icebreakers, she thought. For, like, conversation, not actual ice of course. She racked her brains and came up blank.
"So…what's your favourite food?" she asked, getting out the Coke and drinking straight from the bottle. Phoenix eyed the beer warily when she gave to him but after a minute he cracked it open anyway.
"I dunno, um…right now, grilled chicken sandwich with balsamic vinegar and garden salad," he said, eyes on the TV. Maya choked on her drink.
"Are you serious? C'mon Nick, you don't look like a rabbit food kinda guy!"
"What – but - rabbits don't eat chicken," he said, brow furrowed slightly. That made her giggle.
"A chicken-eating rabbit. Even worse. Balsamic vinegar? What is that, some kind of –"
"It's healthy!" he protested.
"Yeah, right. Sounds downright lethal to me." She took a long swallow and pointed at the screen. "Hey, why's she so upset?"
"Looks to me," Phoenix said, "like she just found out her boyfriend betrayed her."
"Huh," said Maya, who'd never had a boyfriend or even really spoken to a guy, not even a dad or brother, and whose first possibly significant male relationship was with the guy eating pizza right next to her. "She looks pretty upset about it." Oh god, she thought, I am so out of my depth here.
"Yeah," he said, voice suddenly tight, "she would be."
So, so out of my depth. She decided not to ask further. This was not awkward. She would make this not awkward. Sheer force of will.
Surprisingly, it wasn't that hard. He was pretty easy to talk to and his dry sense of humour made her stomach ache with how much it reminded her of Mia. They sat there comfortably, making jokes about the cheesy drama of the movie, which really did not have enough samurai fights in it. After a while Nick finished his beer and reached unconsciously for another one, which Maya passed to him, proudly casual about it.
Maya was finishing off the Coke when she noticed he was watching her instead of the movie.
"Cut it out," she said jokingly, which made him jump and grin sheepishly.
"Y'know," he said, "I was just thinking you look kinda like her. Not the hair, and the…" He gestured vaguely at her middle. "But you're... I don't know."
Oh, right. Beer.
"Are you drunk?" she said curiously, trying to act like she'd seen someone drunk before.
"No," he said, very seriously, "just buzzed. I didn't have the tequila and beer's not enough." But he put the can down.
"Okay," Maya said. "So, I. I look like my sis? Is that what you're saying?" Privately she thinks she doesn't at all. And she's nowhere near as beautiful, polished, grown-up. Could never be.
"Yeah, kinda," Nick said. He had his arm over the back of the couch, behind Maya's neck. She was acutely aware of this as it dropped down further, seemingly without him realising.
"Well, so do you," she said, then realised that didn't even make any sense. "I mean, I don't know, you're like her in court."
He shrugged. "You were too. Literally."
Oh, right. Oh. Maya blinked. So that's what he's seeing.
"It was pretty awesome," he continued. "I've never seen anyone do something like that. Never believed in magic."
"It's not magic," Maya said. "It's spiritual power. For harnessing spirits. And their power."
"Ah," said Nick, "gotcha."
She looked at him, licked her lips nervously and shifted closer.
"I," Nick said when she grabbed his hand. "Maya."
She looked down, fringe shading her eyes, and then looked back up, and saw he'd turned his whole body to face her, and his eyes were sort of dark blue and there was a bead of sweat rolling down his collarbone and he smelled of alcohol and some kind of cologne or aftershave or whatever it was that men wore. Men, Maya thought, this is a man, he is seven years older than me – and then his arms, sleeves still rolled to the elbow, were bracketing her sides, and he was kneeling in close, and her stomach felt like it was actually full of literal butterflies, and she didn't know if they were the good kind –
"Maya," he said and came in really really close, oh my god and she hadn't thought this would actually happen, not seriously, he was twenty-four and now it was, she was equal parts flattered and terrified and - what would he think if she pushed him back? Would he hate her? Some guys were like that, Mia had said, Mia who knew everything, Mia who Nick thought was beautiful, Mia her sister who Nick was probably seeing right now.
She pushed at his arm experimentally but she was very small and he didn't seem to notice - and then, suddenly, he was kissing her. It was…weird. She felt hot all over and opened her mouth a little in surprise, but she also felt like maybe she wanted to push him away. Is that what beer tastes like? she thought nonsensically and then, this isn't real, he's seeing her - and she decided that this really shouldn't happen right now for a number of reasons and she slapped his arm, praying he'd notice. He froze, and jerked back off her.
"Oh," he said, and went completely red. He scrambled backwards. "I'm. I'm really sorry, I. Just. More drunk than I, um. That was completely out of line, I didn't mean to, I'm really…"
She took deep breaths and drew her knees up. "It's okay," she said.
"You don't – I'm sorry, I shouldn't have." He ran a hand through his hair and slumped back on the couch. "Jesus Christ. I'm sorry." More quietly he mumbled to himself, seventeen and she could almost hear him thinking not Mia.
"It's fine, don't worry," she said, a smile curling the corner of her mouth. "Never happened. We shall never speak of this again."
Nick nodded gratefully and she grinned, and they settled back into their spots on the couch. Not awkward, Maya thought fiercely, not awkward. After a minute they had a fight over the last slice of pizza and if they were a little over the top, maybe trying to compensate, that was okay. It was gonna be okay. Start of a beautiful friendship.
The movie was reaching its climax. There was some crazy chick with a – was that a gun?
"Taser," Nick said, "it's a taser. They're controversial electroshock weapons for police use." He shrugged. "I did a paper on their representation in the media or something in college. The things you remember, huh?"
That sounds really smart, Maya thought and wondered what it was like to have the chance to go there, to college, and to learn about electroshock weapons and things like that, that weren't hundreds of years old and covered in musty calligraphy.
Out loud, she said, "that's too many big words, Nick. Speak English like a normal person." He laughed and she felt a warm feeling rising in her belly like happiness.
On screen the girl with the taser was threatening the boyfriend dude and then there was another girl – the main character? She couldn't tell the difference, they were both blonde – jumping in the line of fire and ouch. That had to hurt.
"Aww, that's sweet," Nick said. "You'd do that for me, right Maya?"
"Are you kidding me? Hope you like being electrocuted," she said jokingly, and he laughed again, and yeah, maybe things were okay. Maybe now they could be, even if Mia was – even if her sister was gone now, because she had something else for the first time. This could besomething.
"Seriously? You wound me!" he said, clutching his chest.
"Oh, fine," Maya said, and poked him in the chest, and grinned. "Maybe one day, once I get to know you better."
"I'm counting on it," Nick said.

The Death of Literature
In this book, the author looks at some of the agents that have contributed to literature's demise and ponders whether its vitality can be restored in the changing circumstances of late 20th century culture. The author relates the death of literature to potent forces in our post-industrial world - most obviously, the technological revolution that is rapidly transforming a print to an electronic culture, replacing the authority of the written word with the authority of television, film, and computer screens. He describes a number of the crossroads where literature and society have met and literature has failed to stand up. He discusses the high comedy of the obscenity trial in England against "Lady Chatterley's Lover", in which the British literary establishment vainly tried to define literature. He looks at such agents of literary disintegration as schools where children who watch television eight hours a day can't read, decisions about who chooses and defines the words included in dictionaries, faculty fights about the establishment of new departments and categories of study, and courtrooms where criminals try to profit from best-selling books about their crimes. According to the author, traditional literature is ceasing to be legitimate or useful in these changed social surroundings. What is needed, he says, if it is any longer possible in electronic culture, is a conception of literature that fits in some positive way with the new ethos of post-industrialism, plausibly claiming a place of importance both to individual lives and to society as a whole for the best kind of writing.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by CATCH17, Mar 8, 2012.
Any Vids of this guy?
I assume you're talking about Phil Taylor? From last years draft?
Google "Phil Taylor Baylor" or "Phil Taylor Highlights" and you'll find plenty of videos about him.
Thanks. Error on my part.
Ah. No problem. I just googled "Philip Blake Baylor" and found 5 videos on him.
why would he want phil taylor video of last year draft and not phillip blake the center from baylor in this years draft?
Just asking. I like Phillip Blake was a very good Center, great accurate shotgum snap and can move. Practiced vs Taylor lastyear and man handeled Alameda Ta'amu in the bowl game.
You obviously didn't see the original thread title..
no he must have took it off.
Just found out this guys turns 27 this year. Knocks him down a couple rounds IMO.
This is a video of Texas' Kheeston Randall from 2010, but it shows him vs Baylor starting at 3:25. You can see a lot of Blake. It's not a Randall highlight vid. Randall's probably a 4th-5th rounder.
Start of the video is Texas vs Oklahoma, so you can see some Demarco Murray as well.
Also, the entire Alamo Bowl appears to be on YouTube. You can see Blake vs Alameda Ta'amu and Washington. The poster has a bunch of games uploaded - Ok St vs Stanford, Oregon vs Wisconsin, Texas vs Cal, etc. Hard to believe they're on YouTube.
There are also some Terrence Ganaway vids on YouTube.
a couple?!? The Baylor guard was drafted in the first last year by the Eagles, he was 27 I think.

Here is what I use. It works great. It is a little pricey and you may be able to find one cheaper somewhere else. I carry a Benchmade knife and the steel is so hard that the Diamond Stones are the only thing that I can get to touch the stuff.

I thought I'd try the cheapest first - The Smith.
I went by the local Lowes and they didn't know *** I was talking about. "We don't carry any knife shapeners". Ok fine.
Now I just ordered a Lansky 5 stone system. Now that looks almost me-proof. :) We'll see.
If I can't use the Lansky, I must really be an idiot and I'll probably pay one of you guys to sharpen it for me. lol
Bitter and clinging to my guns and my religion.
By the time I set up the Lansky, I can sharpen 10 knives on the Spyderco Ceramic kit. I find them more of a PITA than they are worth myself, but good luck with it, let us know how yu like it.

Aside from all the posts on what sharpener to actually find the angle of grind on the blade use a sharpie or grease pencil or such and color over the ground (Shiny) surface of the blade. take a couple strokes on the setting you think is right, just pick one. Then see how much of the blade grind is shiny again. Repeat the coloring on the different settings and see which one gets the best contact on the blade edge.
GREAT ADVICE...man I knew about this before but had forgotten about it. Thanks for the post!
Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
Can I just drive over to your house and let you sharpen my Spyderco for me?
Yes you can. I just sharpened two bowies and 8 folders yesterday at the gun shop for customers. It took me no more than 15 minutes to put sharp working edges on the 8 folders and one bowie.
The other bowie customer wanted a razor edge, that took me another two minutes
The mind is the limiting factor

I use the Lansky Diamond. I've had it ever since they came out with the Diamond. There are some newer type sharpeners out there but, I'm not super motivated to go out shopping for yet another knife sharpener when the Lansky does a real nice job for me.
Heck, when I saw your thread title, I thought it was a trade offer....I was thinking, hey, I need a sharpener, and I've got way too many idiots at work...
What Would Gumby Do?
I just got the Deluxe Lansky Kit with the 5 stones. I started with the Coarse (I didn't use the Extra Coarse).
I spent about 20 minutes fiddling and sharpening. I don't think I did a very good job. I used the 20 degree hole and it still doesn't seem very sharp. I'll have to give it another go starting with the Extra Coarse.
Any more advise?
Bitter and clinging to my guns and my religion.
I have a lansky, but will admit I am not that great at sharpening. I saw this knife care site and it sounds like it is definitely taken to the next level.
Towards the bottom of the page they mention the system they actually use (since they are a knife shop and grind a lot of blades) - the edge pro looks a lot like a lansky on steroids.
Here is a picture of their homeowners version - the commercial version looks somewhat more substantial.
You can use whatever angle you like, just might take a little time to get the blade set there. The less angle there is, the sharper it will be, but will also dull faster. Using a little larger angle will still get the knife plenty sharp, and will stay sharper longer.
I like my pocket knives crazy sharp though, and I just touch it up on one of those two-sided Spyderco stones after I use it some, when I get home from work.
Now my fixed blade work knife that I use to cut open bags all day at work, I sharpen with a big coarse stone, and that's good enough for it.

So you think maybe I should try a 25 degrees?

NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said Chavan's move to get even with his rivals within his party Congress and the Sharad Pawar-led outfit led to the debacle of the former allies, who ruled the State for 15 years before parting ways.
Malik, who won Anushaktinagar Assembly seat in Mumbai with a margin of about 5,000 votes, told PTI that Chavan employed "conspiratorial tactics" to malign NCP and his own rivals within Congress, which cost the two parties dear in the polls.
Stating the results are likely to throw a hung House, he asserted that NCP will not compromise with its "secular" ideology while deciding about its future course of action. Trends show BJP emerging as the single largest party but falling short of a simple majority followed by Shiv Sena with Congress and NCP far behind in seat projections.
NCP President Sharad Pawar discussed poll results and party's future course of action with senior leader Praful Patel, his nephew Ajit Pawar and daughter Supriya Sule.

The following editorial was written July 13, 1987, by William J. O'Neil, founder and chairman of what was then known as Investor's Daily. At the time, Lt. Col. Oliver North had just finished a full week of testifying before Congress on the Iran-Contra affair, responding to the Tower Commission report earlier in the year that had faulted the Reagan administration for the scandal. Reagan accepted full responsibility. Amid an ongoing media clamor, our editorial put Reagan's presidency in a much broader context, one that since has been vindicated by history.
Teddy Roosevelt was once asked how often he expected his decisions to be right. He confessed that if he could be right 75% of the time, he'd be doing great.
So how often should our presidents be right? Should we demand they be correct 100% of the time?
If President Reagan has been on target seven or eight times out of 10, and he makes a mistake, should it be blown into a national crisis? The leader who makes no mistakes is the leader who makes no decisions, takes no risks and therefore achieves nothing for us.
Here's a list of some of Reagan's policy decisions that worked:
1. He lifted price controls on domestic oil amid protests that prices would skyrocket. Instead, oil topped and inflation unwound.
2. He rebuilt our depleted defenses and restored pride in our military so that a voluntary peacetime army became a reality.
3. He cut, over congressional objections, everybody's taxes and slowed the explosive growth rate of government spending.
4. Inflation dropped from a high of 13.5% in 1980 to 1.9% in 1986.
5. The prime rate has dropped from 21% in 1980 to 8.25%.
6. He launched one of the longest economic recoveries on record.
7. He revitalized the ideal of democracy throughout the world and witnessed the trend shift from socialism toward free enterprise.
8. He took a strong stand on drugs. Budget authority for drug law enforcement, abuse prevention and treatment has climbed 150%.
9. He rewrote the tax laws after everyone said it couldn't be done.
10. He stood firm at Reykjavik on the SDI when our media said his stand was wrong. Now the Russians are at the negotiating table.
11. His invasion of Grenada sent Cubans home, rescued grateful American students and surprised our negative national media.
12. He subdued, with the Libyan raid, Gadhafi and his terrorists.
13. U.S. fighter jets successfully forced down the Egyptian jetliner carrying terrorists from the Achille Lauro ship hijacking.
14. He properly assisted the Philippines in its break from a right-wing dictator's rule.
15. He did the same for Haiti.
16. He cracked down on Soviet spies and thefts of U.S. technology, and reached parity with the Soviets in embassy and U.N. personnel.
17. He's the first president since Truman to halt the spreading tide of communism, by providing help and encouragement to democratic resistance fighters in Afghanistan, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
How many incorrect decisions has our president made?
1. The Iran arms sale.
2. Sending U.S. Marines to Lebanon as part of a four-nation peacekeeping force without sufficient intelligence support.
The score: Success 17, mistakes two. Most Americans would say batting .895 is an outstanding record.

Hollywood Dirt For July 10
Fans everywhere broke the Internet yesterday when it was announced Eva Mendes is pregnant with Ryan Gosling's baby. Reportedly Eva is around 7 months along and while it doesn't look like there are marriage plans, 33 year old Ryan and 40 year old Eva are thrilled.
Here are some of the best tweets when 'Notebook' fans learned the news:
Ryan Gosling is having a child and it's not with Rachel McAdams. *sets everything on fire*
— Natalie Williams (@natsaysrelax) July 9, 2014
Why is this hour dragging? Probably because Ryan Gosling knocked up some wench who isn't Rachel McAdams and the world is mourning.

Looks like Bieber will be escaping any jail time for that egging incident. Yesterday his attorney pleaded 'no contest' to misdemeanor vandalism. This means no jail time for Justin but there are strings attached to staying out of the slammer. Bieber gets 2 years probation, must perform 5 days of community service, attend 12 weeks of anger management classes, pay the egging victim $80,900 in damages and stay at least 100 yards away from the family. Remember if any part of that is violated, we could be talking jail again!

A Fishy Peregrine
As we all know, peregrine falcons eat only birds and they catch them in the air.
Or do they?
Last Wednesday I received an email from Dan Yagusic, an excellent birder who watches the peregrines on the Allegheny River bridges. (He's the one who first found Mary Cleo (Dori) at the 62nd Street Bridge. She now lives at Gulf Tower.)
Here's what Dan saw at dusk on Tuesday, September 21:
Last evening at dusk I was passing Washington Landing's Marina (Allegheny River) at a no wake speed in our boat. In the near darkness I spotted a large bird flying fast downriver.
All of a sudden, directly across from me about five Mallards took flight squawking very loudly as they went. This bird (unidentified as of yet) started making repeated swooping turns down to the water, but appeared to be chasing nothing at all! I grabbed my binoculars at this point and lo and behold to my utter amazement it was a Peregrine Falcon!!
I continued watching as this Peregrine made at least 20 passes over the water, each time rising 30 feet or so in the air before dropping down and dipping it's talons into the water as if to make a splash. Running through my mind were the likes of "What the hell is this bird doing?" and "Just what is making him/her do this?"
After who knows how many trips down to the water the Peregrine came up with a FISH in it's talons. It proceeded to fly directly to the nearest tower where it immediately started eating its catch.
Perhaps you or others know of this behavior in Peregrines, but in my limited experience I have never seen a Peregrine even attempt a shot at fishing. That sure did make my evening, let me tell you! Variety can be the spice of life, even for Peregrines??? — Dan Yagusic
I did some research and found two (only two!) references that said peregrines occasionally eat fish though one said they took them from ospreys.
So what was going on here?
Dr. Tony Bledsoe of the University of Pittsburgh's Biological Sciences Department explained that our mid-latitude peregrines focus on birds but that peregrines occur nearly worldwide and are quite cosmopolitan. Right now peregrines from Canada and the Arctic are migrating south through Pittsburgh. Those birds travel to South America and have skills and tastes that our local birds never had to cultivate.
If they know how to fish and the ducks aren't cooperating, why not?
Even so, it's very unusual!
(photo of a peregrine capturing a killdeer by Cris Hamilton. No, I do not have a picture of a peregrine fishing!)

Thanks for sharing the great story, Dan. It is very interesting and informative!
# Steve Tironeon 27 Sep 2010 at 2:13 pm
Wow, that is just amazing. I would have guessed an immature and very hungry Peregrine desperately trying something different, not a visitor from the Arctic using established skills (as suggested, we don't know for sure). Did Dan notice if it was an immature or adult? I wonder how many reports of fishing Peregrines are out there in the literature?
Fantastic observation, and thanks for sharing.
# Glenn Nevillon 28 Sep 2010 at 12:22 am
Could you tell what kind of fish it was?
# Anne Curtison 28 Sep 2010 at 1:01 am
I bow to much greater knowledge and experience than I have, mine being solely limited to casual observation! A question, though? 20 tries, with lifting up 30+ feet in between! That's a lot of energy being used up! It had to have been an experienced bird!
In one of my favorite books, MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN, by Jean George, peregrines are locally called "duck hawks". Guess the mallards were lucky that day!
# Kim Steiningeron 28 Sep 2010 at 7:10 am
Kate, we saw a falcon catch a fish at the Conowingo Dam one day last winter too. Certainly surprised all of us, including Craig Koppie, who as you know has worked with falcons for many years!
# Glenn Nevillon 28 Sep 2010 at 7:07 pm
I once came across a pair of adults hunting over the surf, both birds made multiple passes touching the water each time. They were retrieving a shore bird that they had just killed. You can see that sequence at this page…

I saw an adult peregrine falcon catch a fish off the beach in Naples, Florida, yesterday. I took a number of photos – unfortunately, the falcon was pretty far away from shore. I uploaded several photos to Flickr – if you login to Flickr, you should be able to view them:
It appears that the peregrine falcon is nesting on one of the high-rise condos on the beach.
I was quite surprised to find that such fishing behavior is rare. This falcon got the fish on the first pass.

# Margaret McDavidon 03 Oct 2014 at 6:25 pm
I have been seeing a peregrine hunting at Litchfield Beach. S.C. The first time I saw it was almost at dusk, on a rainy evening walk. It was sitting on the sand protecting a fish, and a gull was screaming at it. Eventually the falcon flew and the gull got its meal. The second time was just this evening, about 6:00. The falcon flew right past our condo balcony, hovered a moment over the surf, dived, and came up with a fish. I saw the fish come out of the water in its talons, so no thievery here. I've been researching all week trying to find references to falcons diving for fish in the surf. I am glad I found this site.
# Kate St. Johnon 03 Oct 2014 at 7:27 pm
Margaret, that's amazing! Thanks for sharing.
You're probably familiar with ospreys but if you aren't they are birds of prey, dark and white like peregrines, and they hover and dive for fish, catching them in their talons. Ospreys are migrating right now so you would be seeing them more frequently in SC.
That said, peregrines are full of surprises. You've witnessed something rare.
# Margaret McDavidon 04 Oct 2014 at 11:12 pm
Thanks very much for not scoffing, Kate! I know that it is much more probable to see an osprey fishing, but this was not an osprey. Its head was very dark, its back and wings dark, its tail striped dark on light, and the underside was pale gray or tan. It did not move like an osprey. It was more streamlined and did not fly with the "M" angled wings. Ospreys spread their wing tips and are generally more dramatic in a dive than the bird I saw, and their heads are white.
I am up against it to make my local bird club president believe me, because I'm not one of the expert birders in our group. After I e-mailed the club a description, he wrote to ask for more specific field marks and my sources for other fishing peregrine sightings. I plan to give him this web site to prove I'm not alone.
# Kate St. Johnon 05 Oct 2014 at 5:42 am
Margaret, here's more evidence that peregrines sometimes catch fish from The Peregrine Falcon by Derek Ratcliffe 2nd edition.
In his chapter on Food and Feeding Habits Ratcliffe gives three fish-eating examples from scientific observations (page 135). One is a peregrine catching a fish in the water, one is the remains of a fish in a peregrine nest, and one is from Thomas Cade (famous U.S. peregrine biologist) who saw a peregrine catch a leaping salmon in Alaska.
Peregrines are resourceful.
# danielleon 14 Aug 2016 at 2:27 pm
Awfully late to the conversation and only a casual bird watcher, but my children and I were geeking out when we saw what appeared to be a peregrine soaring directly over our house. He was flying low enough that we had a very good observation of his tail feathers and body from below. He was carrying a fish in his talons! When I refreshed my memory (via google) of peregrine diets your post popped up. It's been fun and interesting reading both the post and the comments.
# Kate St. Johnon 14 Aug 2016 at 2:40 pm
Danielle, the bird sounds like an osprey. They are famous for carrying fish. (Peregrines eat birds but so rarely eat fish that people are amazed they ever so it.) An osprey is a good sighting.
# Diane D Lankenon 05 May 2017 at 9:10 pm
I just watched a young Peregrine dive and catch a frog out of our pond. I have been watching this pair of peregrines every day this spring. They have been hunting here regularly. I was astonished to see it dive towards the pond and come up with a frog. Especially since the frogs have just started to come out of hybernation here in illinois.

Holy Week has begun with an expert prediction that the Christian church in this country will be dead and buried within 40 years. It will vanish from the mainstream of British life, with only 0.5 per cent of the population attending the Sunday services of any denomination, according to the country's leading church analyst.
Historic buildings will be left to crumble in neglect, as congregations vanish and the church infrastructures collapse without money from the parishes. All claims that Britain is a Christian nation will finally have to be given up, says the church attendance specialist, Peter Brierley.
"The basic doctrines of Christianity will be believed much less and there will be many who actively do not believe them," he says in a new book to be published this week.
The dwindling band of worshippers has grown used to gloomy predictions, but these are the worst yet. Church attendance will be "at an all-time low" in 40 years' time, says Steps to the Future, published by the Scripture Union. Around 40 per cent of the population will have some kind of belief, though a third of them will practise non-Christian religions.
Inner-city churches will face the worst decline, closing or running midweek services to keep anyone coming in at all.
"This is very sober stuff," says Dr Brierley, best known for compiling the annual Church Attendance Survey. "Numbers of Christians will decrease, and the ones who remain won't express their Christianity by going to church."
The statistics could spell disaster for England's 10,000 listed Anglican churches."The last thing we want to see is listed buildings being knocked down, but at some stage, because of dwindling congregations, the Church of England won't be able to maintain them." To date, cathedrals have shown more ability to survive, drawing bigger congregations in recent years thanks to prestigious one-off services and commemorations. Often, however, this is at the expense of parish churches nearby.
Dr Brierley accuses the Church of England of avoiding the issue. It is "afraid that English Heritage will get a law passed" making it compulsory to maintain listed buildings - but he argues that such a law will be absolutely necessary to avoid national treasures being lost.
There will be fewer clergy in Britain and websites will be mandatory for any churches that are serious about trying to stay afloat. There will be a boom in "cyberchurch" attendance as the faithful log on to the internet in search of spiritual answers not to be found in their local churches.
"If time is short and you can attend a service by pressing a few buttons, then people will do that."
Dr Brierley's findings come just five months after the publication of his latest English Church Attendance Survey, an independent study of all denominations. It showed that only 7.5 per cent of the population went to church on Sundays. and that, in the past 10 years - billed by the churches as the "Decade of Evangelism" - church attendance dropped by an "alarming" 22 per cent.
The new statistics have brought heated reactions from Britain's churches. The Revd Joel Edwards of the Evangelical Alliance, which represents one million Christians, said: "Reports of our death are greatly exaggerated, yet the current trend does provide us with a serious challenge.
"Churches are responsible for the spiritual health of the nation, yet the only medicine coming from some of the churches is a drip-feed of doubt, resulting in a haemorrhaging of 2,000 people per week."
Previous research by Dr Brierley has shown that the Church of England is very much the worst hit of the Christian denominations, accounting for 40 per cent of the entire fall in attendance over the period from 1989 to 1998. Its Sunday congregations fell from 1,266,300 to 980,600 .
The Methodists were the next worst hit, falling from 512,300 to 379,700. In contrast, the Baptists have shown a 2 per cent increase over the period while the evangelical "new" churches gained 38 per cent.
Even the Roman Catholic Church declined from 1,715,900 to 1,230,100, but last week spokesman Father Kieron Conry was predicting a change in fortunes. "I do not share this pessimism. Decline started in the 1960s but before then it was in growth, so I'm expecting a change for the better."
Jonathan Jennings, spokes-man for the Church of England, agreed it was "clear that the Church struggles with its responsibility in relation to buildings and heritage," but accused Dr Brierley of drawing "foolish conclusions" from his data.
The Church of England has recently changed the way it gathers statistics. It argues that worship habits have become more flexible, so that the old method of measuring Sunday attendance leads to an underestimate of the number of people who feel themselves to be part of the Church.

Paris Perfect
Year Purchased: 2004
About: Our successful Paris apartment rental business began with one special pied-à-terre located on the Left Bank near the Eiffel Tower. Friends and family loved staying there for the fantastic Paris views and the location – walking distance to cafés, landmarks and wonderful shops. We have a passion for sharing "la vie Parisienne"—the Parisian lifestyle—and that passion fueled the creation of our boutique vacation rental company. Our goal is to help you fall in love with Paris while discovering, exploring, tasting and savoring new sights and experiences in the incredible City of Light! You invest a lot to come to Paris and we want you to enjoy every minute, from the moment you wake up in the morning and buy buttery warm croissants around the corner to enjoying a glass of wine and watching the sunset behind the Eiffel Tower. We know you have dozens of options to evaluate on VRBO. We have nearly 20 years of experience finding the very best vacation rentals in Paris. What makes our apartments unique is that they're beautifully decorated, welcoming and located in the best and safest locations in Paris. Most of our apartments offer stunning Paris views for memories of a lifetime. Most important, there is a friendly English-speaking team available onsite seven days a week to help you in every way. They are there to offer a warm welcome when you arrive, to answer questions and help you feel at home. You'll love living like a Parisian surrounded by a charming Paris neighborhood and strolling to landmarks and monuments nearby. Our apartments are located near lovely open-air markets where you can shop alongside Parisians for the freshest foods to enjoy at your home away from home in Paris. That is what we want you to experience in Paris, so you'll come back again and again!
Why Gros-Caillou, Paris, France:
The fabulous 7th arrondissement in Paris offers the best access to everything we love and enjoy! It's a beautiful old quartier that has maintained a village-like atmosphere, surrounded by bistros and shops so you can truly experience the joy of living like a Parisian. And of course, the 7th arrondissement is home to one of the world's most visited attractions – the Eiffel Tower! For many of our guests their apartment with a view of "La Grand Dame" is the most memorable part of their vacation as they enjoy front row seats to the nightly light show from the comfort of their private balcony or living room. Enjoy a café' au lait along the wonderful rue Cler market street, filled with cafés, restaurants, specialty food stores and fresh fruit and vegetable stalls. Do a spot of window shopping along Rue Saint Dominique or have a picnic in the beautiful Champ de Mars, a beautiful outdoor space with playgrounds, walking tracks and gardens at the base of the Eiffel Tower. You are walking distance to many of Paris' most popular sights including Invalides, Ecole Militaire, Army Museum, Rodin Museum, and the Orsay Museum. You can also cross the river to the Right Bank for fabulous world-class shopping or hop on a bus or train to Notre Dame, Louvre, department stores, Moulin Rouge and more! The 7th arrondissement is one of the safest in Paris; it costs more to invest in the 7th, but to us, it is worth every penny. We greet our butcher, baker and local cheese specialist daily. They know what our favorite cheeses are and make their suggestions. They know the exact kind of baguette we want each day, not too brown and crusty for soft cheese. That is what we have been lucky enough to find in our neighborhood and we hope you'll have a chance to enjoy the same special lifestyle.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
Decorated in a cheery French Provençal style, the popular Saint Julien is a gorgeous and sunny apartment featuring large French windows facing onto the beautiful Champ de Mars Gardens and a view of the nearby Eiffel Tower through the trees. Features 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and a modern kitchen - complete with Nespresso machine!

The Men of Troy are back and a Miracle for Auburn
Once again, a little MACtion kicks things off, as Northern Illinois trounced Toledo 35-17 behind Jordan Lynch's 363 total yards and 3 touchdowns. The victory clinches the West Division for the Huskies and keeps them in the running for another BCS appearance. Week 12 gave us a lot to enjoy. There were surprising upsets along with miracle finishes–including one that will be remembered for ages. Welcome Back, USC Well hello there, Trojans. Nice to see you again.

text: I would be very much in favor in bringing Billy Cundiff back. I know that he cost us last season, but let's be fair. He tore a hamstring in training camp, and then came back (as you would expect) really rusty. Why no one remembers that he was a pretty darned good kicker for us the few years before last season, I don't understand. I didn't get the reason for cutting him last year, other than frustration, and I don't get why we wouldn't bring him in now. Suisham, while an outstanding kickoff man, is not a good field-goal kicker at all. And Vanderjagt, well, everyone knows about Vanderjagt. Cundiff was pretty good at kicking off (consistently inside the five), and was a 78% field-goal kicker. I remember articles by Spagnola mentioning that Billy didn't have to improve much to meet Parcells' 80% standard for kickers. And then, the injury in training camp happened & the rest is history. I know that Cundiff lost the competition in Green Bay. But you never know what's involved in that. All I know is what I've seen. And from what I've seen, for three years or so, was that Billy Cundiff was a pretty good kicker for us. I mean, remember the overtime Giants game in Parcells' first year? He tied a record with 5 or 6 field-goals that night, including one really clutch kick from about 55+ yards to send us to overtime (where we eventually won). I don't know. I have absolutely no good feelings about Vandejagt at all. None. And I didn't even when we signed him. Regardless his records, he was my very last choice for a free agent kicker. And now, we're reaping what we sewed; losing a player or two with some potential (Pettiti, "Pepper" Johnson) and still have no answer at kicker. The fact that it costs us someone else's valuable spot on gameday, as well, frustrates me to no end. It's either that we choose a guy who gives us the best field-position, but can't reliably put 3 points on the board --or-- we select a guy who might have a better chance at the 3 points, but can't kick off past the 12. It seriously svcks. And so, my solution? We bring back the guy that everyone... in my mind, prematurely... ran off, is still available, is familiar with the Dallas scene and HAS been a pretty good kicker for us until an injury derailed a single season. Parcells acted too quickly dismissing Billy Cundiff. It was rash. So was signing Vanderjagt. Both of those mistakes could be rectified now, with one fell swoop... Peace and Love - PoetTree -

I've posted some "Scientific tourist" shots from Carlsbad Caverns in southern New Mexico. But thanks to BBC's "Planet Earth" series, you can see video of a nearby (still in the boundaries of the National Park) and far larger / deeper (deepest in the U.S.) cave — Lechuguilla:
Soak it all in, because you'll almost certainly never be allowed to visit Lechuguilla in person. Lechuguilla has such delicate and unique formations that it's only open to a handful of scientists and explorers, still mapping all the nooks and crannies in the beast (well over 100 miles of passages have been mapped to date) of a cave system. Amazingly enough, the cave opening was known for years as a place to mine bat guano for fertilizer — but it wasn't until 1986 that cavers digging through debris at the opening were able to make a way further in, breaking through to form the only known entrance to the cave system.
If this looks interesting to you, and you're not on the list of lucky spelunkers that can get entry to Lechuguilla, at least you can console yourself with some of the online information on the cave:
- National Park Service page on Lechuguilla
- Wikipedia has a Lechuguilla page — brief, but with some good links
- Nova has a good writeup from a journalist's experiences in the cave

The Flying Tomato Would Rather You Not Call Him That Anymore
J Thoendell stashed this in Winter Olympics
Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/12/magazi...
White, who is 27, has been a professional snowboarder for 13 years and a professional skateboarder for 10. Like many former child stars, he seems older than his years, and he has passed through quite a few stages along the way. First there was White the prepubescent prodigy known as Future Boy. Then there was White the Flying Tomato, a redheaded late teenager and early 20-something, in full command of his extreme-sport powers. Less pleasantly, in recent years, there has also been White the unsympathetic moneybags who crashed his Lamborghini; White the selfish jerk who wouldn't invite other snowboarders to train at the halfpipe Red Bull built for him in the lead up to the 2010 Olympics; and White the overly enthusiastic partyer who was arrested for public intoxication following the 2012 wedding of the drummer for the Black Keys.
The newest White, the one I met three times over the spring, summer and fall, is White the polite, industrious chief executive of Shaun White Enterprises, the company that oversees his boys' clothing line at Target; his sponsorship deals with Burton, Oakley and Stride gum; his partnership with GoPro cameras; his band, Bad Things, signed by Warner Bros. last spring; his training; and his life. White approaches his entrepreneurialism the way he does his snowboarding. "The whole strategizing thing is what does it for me," he says. "That's what I do on the hill. I'm always thinking: Well, if this could happen, then that could happen. It'll leave me in this position, it'll create these opportunities." That day at Northstar, White, who is 5-foot-9 and slight, was dressed in a black snowboarding jacket with brass grommets and fitted black snow pants, both designed by White for Burton's White Collection signature kit. When he took off his black helmet, you could see that he'd cut short his famous long red hair.
Stashed in: Young Americans, Olympics!, Red Bull!, Skateboard!
