There are more than 6,000 languages spoken throughout the world. The U.N. estimates that half of those languages could disappear by the end of the century if nothing is done to save them. It's already happening: the 2010 edition of the U.N. Atlas of Endangered Languages says 18 languages have only one remaining speaker. Once that speaker dies, the language will almost surely die with him or her. The Atlas also classifies 574 languages as "critically endangered," a designation that depends on a number of factors including how easy it is to find learning materials for the language, government attitudes toward the language, and whether older generations pass down the language to younger ones. But if untold numbers of languages have died out through human history, why does it matter if a language is endangered? Languages are more than just a form of communication. They carry with them important information about a culture, from its history and spiritual practices to certain kinds of knowledge that may be essential to human survival. Languages are also integral to a person's identity. The U.N. Atlas sums up this point by quoting poet Alitet Nemtushkin, who belongs to the Evenki ethnic group of Northern Asia: "How can I believe the foolish idea/That my language is weak and poor/If my mother's last words/Were in Evenki?"

For 25 straight minutes, Westbrook sat with his head buried in his thoughts and his phone, texting his friends and family and trying to reckon with the 2-0 hole his team finds itself in this best-of-seven series despite yet another of his sublime and historic triple-doubles. Westbrook scored the most points ever in a playoff triple-double against the Rockets, finishing with 51 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds. But it was what he couldn't do in the fourth quarter that was on his mind after the game. "I don't give a f— about the line," Westbrook said. "We lost."

"We had a pretty good idea that Utah was going to make something happen," Tony Bradley's agent, John Spencer, said. "We heard from other sources that San Antonio was going to be in the mix. I really though Oklahoma City was going to be the wildcard."

Louis Vuitton Cup- Luna Rossa - Race 7 of the Finals - Time runs out
by Luna Rossa Media on 25 Aug 2013
Louis Vuitton Finals Race 7; Luna Rossa vs Emirates Team New Zealand ACEA - Photo Gilles Martin-Raget
Today Luna Rossa Challenge raced against Emirates Team New Zealand in the seventh race of the Louis Vuitton Cup Finals. The eight race scheduled for today has been postponed due to the wind exceeding the limits imposed by the racing rules.
Luna Rossa entered the pre-start box on starboard tack where Luna Rossa's helmsman Chris Draper took control to leeward; the two boats crossed the starting line at the same time.
Luna Rossa sailed in the Kiwi's disturbed air but was still able to maintain contact with her opponent when rounding the reaching mark with less than a boat length's gap.
The Italian team then chased the New Zealanders keeping the distance unchanged with a good boat speed.
On the downwind leg Luna Rossa was the first to jibe ashore; at this point both teams were sailing at the same average speed although the Italians made one more jibe (35,25 knots Luna Rossa, 35,70 knots Emirates Team New Zealand). In these wind conditions Luna Rossa showed clean manoeuvres and was in total control of its foiling.
At the downwind gate the boats chose two different tactics, with Luna Rossa rounding the left-hand gate and then heading out towards the Alcatraz Island, thus closing the gap on her opponent.
The wind conditions however, together with the current and the boundaries of the race course, didn't allow many tactical options notwithstanding a good upwind speed for Luna Rossa.
On the last downwind leg, although Luna Rossa again showed a good boat speed and boat handling, she was unable to close the gap and New Zealend scored its sixth point in the Louis Vuitton Final (6-1).
Chris Draper, Luna Rossa helmsman, commented: 'This was definitely the most windy race we have had in the entire series. In these conditions we finally had a chance to see the incredible progress made in these last weeks. Unfortunately time has run short; we would require at least three more months of development to reach our goals. And time is, as we know, the crucial element in the America's Cup.'
Luna Rossa Challenge will race again against Emirates team New Zealand tomorrow, Sunday August 25th, for the eight match of the Louis Vuitton Cup finals.
Today's crew was: Max Sirena (skipper and pitman), Francesco Bruni (tactician), David Carr (pitman/grinder), Pierluigi de Felice (trimmer), Giles Scott (primary grinder), Chris Draper (helmsman), Xabi Fernandez (wing trimmer), Nick Hutton (bowman), Lele Marino (wing grinder), Marco Montis (freestyler) and Simone de Mari (hydraulic grinder).
Conditions - Saturday August 24th, San Francisco: sunny skies, 19 – 21 knots of wind from South-West, choppy sea and flood tide 1.9 knots. Race started at 13.20 local time.

Installing a second electric water heater
Need to install a second electric water heater for a basement shower.
Our needs have changed, and current (relatively new) 55 gal isn't providing enough hot water for early morning showers since the temps have dropped.
I've read that they should be in series. Any suggestions, minimum size, schematics, etc. appreciated. Thanks.
I would not put the heaters in series. Any time you used that shower, you'd be drawing water from both of them. Wouldn't accomplish much except to increase your electric bill. As for size, I think a 30 gallon unit would be more than enough, or a 20 gallon if there is such a size.
Why not in parallel, so you draw from both, doubling the Qty of hot water? Id hate to see your electricity bill! :(
55 gallon not enough? My advice is 20 years old but I think it will still apply. The best way is to disconnect the old heater and get the same type, then when you reconnect both of them every piece of pipe connecting them must be the same length. Each heater needs to work together. One working more than the other makes no sense. Water heaters may have changed in 20 years their maybe a better way now.
Series or parallel, any time you use the shower you'll be drawing water from both heaters. I would plumb the shower's water heater totally separately.
55 gallons of hot water, is Alotta hot water.....
I bet you have teenagers, right? Send them into the military, then your 55 will work fine. :thumbup:
By the way, outdoor temp drop should have nothing to do with it, unless someone is heating up the bathroom with steam before going in there. The HWH is going to heat the water up to your set point, regardless of outdoor temp.
I guess I am assuming you dont have uninsulated copper lines that run through an unheated crawl space in Antarctica. :eek:
If 55 gallons of hot water is not enough you may want to look into a tankless on demand system. They are a little pricey but the usage cost would probably offset that and the cost of a whole seperate tank and install.
Just my opinion
199 Attachment(s)
As for water heaters in series or parallel, it costs the same to heat a given volume of water regardless of whether you use one heater, two in series, or two in parallel. Or three or four. Watts is watts and BTUs are BTUs -- it requires the same amount of energy to effect a 20°F rise of temperature in 40 gallons of water no matter how you configure your heater(s). Whether in series or parallel, each of two heaters will only have to work half as hard as one heater for a given number of gallons.
So, if you only pay by kWh, your bill will not increase unless you also increase your consumption -- and even then, your bill will only increase the same percentage you increase your consumption.
What will increase is the peak electric consumption. If your utility monitors and charges for peaks, then yeah, two heaters will spike your bill in a most unpleasant manner.
OK I have to ask what seems to me to be a pretty obvious question.
Piped in parallel, water would be drawn from both heaters at the same time, and therefore both heaters would cycle on at about the same time, replenishing the hot water in both tanks sooner. If they are in series, you are dumping the hot water from heater 2 into heater 1. Since it is already hot, heater 1 will not cycle on untill all the hot water in tank 2 is used up. Is this sound thinking?
I think that the poster that recommended an on demand unit is correct with this particular family, as they seem to have an insatiable appetite for HW. I don't know if an electric on demand unit can keep up, but there is probably one that can.
I have heard that Rennai, and Takagi makes very good units.
After the initial post, I checked out the Price/Pfister (shower in basement) online and found a number of people reporting mix cartridge failure about 1 1/2 years after installation. That number is about right, so I replaced the cartridge and the problem is solved.
Interesting replies regarding different ways of adding more hot water. Thanks for the suggestions.

With no display for the hours, minutes or seconds the Day&Night offers a new way of measuring time, splitting the universe of time into two fundamentally opposing sections: day versus night.
A new interpretation of Time based around two Tourbillons operating sequentially. The Day Tourbillon operates during the day, defining the wearer's period of activity, and stops after twelve hours, handing over to the Night Tourbillon dedicated to man's own private sphere.

Serbs in Mostar
|Part of a series of articles on
Native communities
Related people
The Serbs of Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina, numbered about 24,000 at the outbreak of the Bosnian War in 1992, during which a majority of them left.[citation needed] With the city's post-war division into Croat and Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) halves, very few Serbs have returned.[citation needed] As a result, its current Serb population is generally assumed to negligible,[citation needed] despite the fact that the last census was conducted in 1991.
Vidovdan slaughter[edit]
Mostar was part of the Nazi puppet state known as the Independent State of Croatia (Croatian: Neovisna Država Hrvatska; Serbian: Независна Држава Хрватска or Nezavisna Država Hrvatska), along with the rest of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ustasha fascist government was led by Ante Pavelić in Zagreb, and its view of Serbs was akin to the Nazi German view of Jews. The persecution of the town's Serbs began in the summer of 1941. The events of June 24–28, 1941 are known by Serbs as the Vidovdan (St. Vitus' day) slaughter (Serbian: Видовдански Покољ or Vidovdanski pokolj), as June 28 is St. Vitus' day in the Serb Orthodox calendar.
Mass arrests of town's Serbs by the Ustashas began on the afternoon of June 24, 1941. The most prominent Serb traders, teachers, and priests of the Serb Orthodox Church were among those arrested. Some were killed the following night, while some were thrown into caverns. Almost thirty of Mostar's Serb citizens were thrown into a cavern above the village of Čitluk, about 10 km from the town.[1][2][3]
Serb singing society "Gusle"[edit]
The Serb singing society "Gusle" was founded on December 18, 1888 in Mostar. There were 50 founding members, with Jovo R. Šola (Јово Р. Шола) chosen as the first president of the society.
Zora was a Serb literary magazine founded in 1896, central to Mostar's reputation as a centre of culture. Its full name was Zora: Časopis za zabavu, pokuku i kulturu (Зора: Часопис за забаву, поуку и књижевност).
During the Bosnian War of 1992-95, the Serb Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity (Serbian: Саборна црква Св. Тројице) and the Church of the Birth of the Most Holy Virgin (Serbian: Црква Рођења Пресвете Богородице), both dating to the mid-19th century, were demolished by the Croatian Defence Forces.[4][5] The cathedral was also known as the New Orthodox Church (Serbian: Нова православна црква), while the latter was known as the Old Orthodox Church (Serbian: Стара православна црква). According to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nikola Špirić, the reconstruction of the cathedral is due to begin in Spring 2008, and will be partially funded by Prince Charles.[6]
In early 2008, the city administration promised to set aside 100,000 KM (about 50,000 euros) for the reconstruction of the cathedral, and the Ministry of Culture of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina entity pledged 200,000 convertible marks (about 100,000 euros), while a local attorney, Faruk Ćupina (a Bosnian Muslim), was the first private citizen to donate any money - 10,000 convertible marks (about 5,000 euros). The estimated total cost of the project is 15 million convertible marks (about 7.5 million euros).[7][8][9]

The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apparently decided on a foreign policy of isolating Israel from the entire world community. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounced the latest episode of Israeli stupidity which involved the forced evacuation of Arab tenants in East Jerusalem and their replacement by Jews. "The eviction of families and demolition of homes in east Jerusalem is not in keeping with Israel obligations and I urge the government of Israel and municipal officials to refrain from such provocative actions." The Israel Supreme Court ruled that the houses belonged to Jews and that the Arab families had been living there illegally –for over half a century!
The fruits of Netanyahu's policy of obstruction to the cause of peace received additional evidence of success with the announcement that Jordan, which has diplomatic relations with Israel, has joined Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations in demanding evidence of Israel's desire for peace before they will take action to improve their own relations with the Israel government. Egypt, which also has diplomatic relations with Israel, issued a sharply worded statement over the evictions. "This is an act of dispossessing Arabs of their property."
It increasingly is apparent Israel seeks an appointment with disaster. Only the people of Israel can halt their government's drift into transforming their nation into among the most hated in the world.

Bangkok (The Nation/ANN) - Thailand and South Korea committed yesterday to a plan to double bilateral trade to US$30 billion a year within five years.
Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and visiting South Korean President Lee Myung-bak held talks and signed a memorandum of understanding to boost cooperation in four spheres - political, economic, socio-cultural, science and technology - and push the value of bilateral trade to $30 billion within 2016. Last year, trade between the two countries was worth $13.9 billion.
Expressing confidence that the goal could be achieved, Lee and Yingluck agreed that the recent opening of several South Korean bank branches in Thailand would facilitate trade and investment.
The two leaders also expressed their commitment to promote regional cooperation under the Asean+3 framework, the East Asia Summit and the Asean Regional Forum (ARF). Yingluck said they agreed to speed up ratification of a 2013-2017 trade and economic development plan, adding that action plans would be formulated to minimise trade obstacles. Bilateral trade negotiations under a joint commerce committee will also be revived. The two sides also agreed to jointly host a disaster drill under the ARF framework next year.
Yingluck proposed an integrated economic partnership agreement to cope with increasing trade and investment in the future. Thai and Korean trade ministers will work together on this issue.
South Korea was also interested in importing more Thai farm products such as rice, fruit and frozen poultry.
As the number of Korean tourists in Thailand last year reached a new record of 1.3 million, Yingluck proposed bilateral talks on aviation services to accommodate travellers and trade. The two leaders also agreed to take steps to protect tourists from each other's countries.
South Korea expressed interest in investing in the Thai-proposed high-speed rail project linking Chiang Mai to Bangkok, as well as water-management and electricity-generating projects, and the Dawei deep-sea port on Myanmar's eastern coast.
Thailand and Korea celebrate the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties next year. The two leaders agreed to promote cultural cooperation through the establishment of cultural centres in Seoul and Bangkok to mark the anniversary.
As for regional security cooperation, Yingluck said she affirmed Thailand's support for South Korea's attempts to achieve peace and stability and eradicate nuclear weapons from the Korean Peninsula. Lee expressed his thanks for the Kingdom's support. Before the meeting, a guard of honour and ceremony was held at Government House to welcome the South Korean president on his three-day visit to Thailand.

European Insurers Wake Up To Digital Disruption
Posted by Oliwia Berdak on April 23, 2014
- 41 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Calculating and avoiding risk is at the core of insurance. So what are we to make of the fact that insurance executives top our list of professionals who think that the digital disruption of their industry is imminent?[i] We should take it seriously, seeing it as admirable clairvoyance rather than blind fear. Unlike many other industries, at least insurers know the risks they're facing. But will they act upon this vision? They might have no other choice.
Digital disruption has arrived in insurance. In our new report on trends in European digital insurance, we show that years of slow growth, low consumer trust, and heavy regulation have weakened incumbents. Meanwhile, customer expectations have been rising, fuelling the appetites of startups and companies not traditionally associated with insurance, such as digital platforms, car manufacturers, utility companies, telcos, and sensor and wearable manufacturers, whose utility and access to consumer data has placed them dangerously close to the core of insurance.
The digital race is on. How should insurance executives respond? By leading the battle against digital inertia. Not a month passes without another European insurer launching a digital lab – in Munich, Zurich, or even Silicon Valley – or running a hackathon. Using open innovation is part of a journey to develop products and services that will fundamentally change the nature of insurance, moving away from a model based on compensation to one focused on prevention. Thanks to digital technologies, services that are already available for large corporate clients can be offered to individuals as well. As insurers gain access to more data about individual customers through digital touchpoints and use better analytical tools, they will be able to offer customers automated and tailored risk advice, helping them prevent misfortune where possible as well as offering coverage against it. Companies that get this right will avoid patronizing and controlling their customers; they will use sensors, data, and web tools to educate them about their needs, to help them care for things that matter to them, and to give them more control over their premiums.
In a business grounded in risk avoidance, insurers are slowly coming out of their shell to experiment with new products, distribution channels, and pricing models. They're not quite digital daredevils yet, but they're making a good start.
[i] In 2014, we asked 1,254 executives in companies with 250 or more employees the following question: "Do you think your business will be disrupted by digital technologies in the next 12 months?" 86% of insurance executives thought it would be somewhat, moderately, or massively disrupted.

Well the allante is in Pa., but I might drive the vette up form Miami. A couple of allnte guys might be there. Also, looking forward to meeting the Lord caddy hisself.
How do all feel about having a meet either in New Tampa or Brandon? I figure we should spread this around a little bit.
What are your thoughts
Perhaps a hillsborough area cadillac meeting, before the big one on July 21st? :o
I have a couple of thoughts for the New Tampa area. One is the Ruby Tuesday's near the movie theatre. We could park the cars in the far end of the movie theatre parking lot and then go in for dinner. Or we could go to the Tampa Brickyard and if we get there early enough we could snag some spaces in the side lot. The Tampa Brickyard is in Tampa Palms. Both restaurants have bars. I have to checkout to see if there are any bars/restaurants in Pebble Creek. At this point I don't know what is in Brandon but I will investigate when I get back from my cruise and I leave for Ft. Lauderdale on Friday.
Does anybody else have any ideas?
Those all sound good.
Agreed - any of those is nice and close to home.
How does Peabody's in Tampa Palms sound?
Late July?... its a Saturday, if all is still the same, I'll be there!
Hopefully the Brougham will be in even better shape.... hmmm
You can count me in. I think by late July i should have the body work done and bumper fillers in. I doubt paint though. Maybe a new viyl top. It hasnt changed much cosmetically since the last meet i was at. I mean ive dumped over $1000 into mechanical issues since then,but shes still lookin a bit rugged. But not nearly as rugged as Night Wolfs :thepan::stirpot:. Even if none of that is done i'll still come down. Probably bring a friend or two and get a hotel for the night.
Hopefully there will be a bigger turnout than the Orlando meet.
Yeah, i cant wait!
Hi folks,
I've been doing some thinking and that is always a dangerous thing when we do that. How does Peabody's in Tampa Palms sound? It is located in the Shoppes of Amberly. The parking lot is large and I think we could grab the back part if we get there early enough.
Brougham will be there :)
Just got it on the road today.... still needs a ton of work, and a handful of things I'd like fixed before the trip to FL....
She will not be looking very pretty but... ah well... it's a Caddy, right?
This will be the 3rd Cadillac I have owned.... and brought to the meets, the Tampa folks will have seen em' all :)
Peabody's would be great!
Then it's set. Let's make it for the Shoppes on Amberly and we can go to Peabody's. We'll keep close to home for us on the northeast side of town. What would be a good time to meet?

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Lindsey Coats totaled 20 points on 14 kills and eight blocks to pace Campbell in a 3-2 (20-25, 25-22, 25-21, 22-25, 15-13) win over Big South rival High Point Tuesday night inside the Pope Center.
Campbell moves to 11-13 on the year with a 4-4 Big South mark, earning a sweep of the Panthers on the season. HPU falls to 7-15 overall and 4-4 in league play. The win is Campbell's second straight five set win, moving to 4-0 in five set contests this season.
Coats, a sophomore from Dunn, N.C., notched her career-high 14 scores on 32 swings with only two miscues, hitting .375. Coats also posted an ace to go along with her six assisted and two solo blocks, also career-bests.
Junior outside hitter Ally Russo reached double figures for the second straight match with 10 kills, tacking on seven digs in the win. Annie Kobeski and Brooke Kelley gathered eight and seven kills, respectively, while Jessica Groen registered six.
Sophomore setter Heather Wilson tied a career-high with 46 assists, marking the Concord, N.C. native's seventh match in a row with 30 or more helpers. Wilson also picked up 12 digs. Senior defensive specialists Kelsey Campbell and Lauren Garza notched 17 and 13 digs.
Leading High Point was junior outside hitter Courtney Johnk with 20 kills, three aces and seven digs. Kristin Heldt and Michelle Chakirelis posted 16 and 13 kills each while combining for six blocks. Lauren Bell, a junior setter, tallied 56 assists, 15 digs and three aces in the loss, while Molly Barlow and Chelsea Davis recorded 28 and 19 digs on the night.
Facing a 16-14 deficit in the first set, the Panthers charged back with three straight points to take a one score lead on Courtney Johnk's ace. After Lindsey Coats' kill tied the set at 17-all, HPU posted an 8-3 run to close the set and take a 25-20 win.
The Camels evened the match with a 25-22 win in the second behind three kills and three blocks from Coats, and took the 2-1 set lead after three with three kills from Russo in the third as CU claimed that set 25-21.
Despite six scores from Coats in the fourth, the Panthers pulled even with a 25-22 advantage, as Heldt and Johnk punched in five kills apiece.
The Camels quickly built an 8-3 lead in the fifth behind seven Panther errors, but HPU roared back to tie it at 8-all and took the lead at 9-8 on a 6-0 run. Still knotted at 13-all, Campbell used a Panther error and a match-clinching kill from Kelsey Marek to grab the fifth set win, 15-13. Marek recorded all four of her kills on the night in the fifth.
The Camels will break until Oct. 28, when the team travels to UNC Asheville.

So? Am I right to think that I could use this to reverse the polarity of the SMA connector on the XV-S?
If I cut the 5V trace in the charging circuit (SJ2), will I still be able to charge from USB? Or am I then held to higher voltage sources only?
I would like to integrate a 6V solar panel… which can reach higher voltages than the 5.5V listed.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Could I use this to replace the connector on the Roving Networks RN-XV-S so that I can use just a normal wifi antenna?
Nooooo… 4 of the 6 wheels in the picture are backwards! I can't stand half-full types… Hehehe
Those motors seem to move the bot at a pretty good clip. I wonder how much over-voltage abuse they can take.
I must say that dyslexia is horribly debilitating in this contest / lottery / prize giveaway.

Just to clarify, you guys use the Venus638FLPx-L, not the …FLPx-D in this break out board, correct?
No public wish lists :(

Cordelia and Xander make up/re-unite in Buffy's basement during a crisis--the same place they had their first kiss, while trying to escape the bug man in "What's My Line Part 2".
Goof: When Buffy gets turned into a rat Xander is on the stairs, but in the next shot (after the commercial and a continuing scene) he comes onto the screen from the side, away from the stairs.
Goof: In the scene where Cordelia is walking up the stairs towards Harmony, right before you see Cordelia you see two people sitting on a bench, and two people walking to the stairs. But when Cordelia enters the shot a second later, there are magically three people on the bench and the same two people are further away from the stairs than they were before.
Goof: When Buffy is changed into a rat (and also in later episodes whenever Amy is a rat) the rat is a male. So not only does she change into a rat, but she also has a sex change!
Goof: In Xander's slo-mo walk down the hallway, he passes a group of girls right at the start and then again just before he runs into the library. Also, an African American student seen behind Xander at the hallway doors is suddenly ahead of Xander staring at him.
Nitpick: When Xander and Cordelia are attacked at the school it is day, but when they arrive at Buffy's house it is night. It must be an awfully long distance.
For the love spell, Amy calls upon Diana, goddess of love and the hunt. Throughout history, Diana has been believed to have dominion over many things including the wilderness and untamed frontiers (which may include love). She has also been depicted as a torchbearer or guide, and has been known to be invoked for issues regarding fertility. It is for these reasons that it makes sense to call on Diana for a love spell. However, because Diana is most commonly known as the Roman goddess of forests, animals, and the hunt this could explain why the spell backfired.
Giles: (after Amy turns Buffy into a rat) We have to catch the Buffy rat.
Joyce: (Joyce smashes through the back door window reaching for the lock) Xander, honey, let Joycey in!
Cordelia: (Xander gives Cordelia the necklace) Xander, it's beautiful. We have to break up.
Xander: Not the kind of reaction I was hoping for...
Cordelia: Come on Xander, who are we kidding? Even if parts of us see good in the other, we just don't fit!
Xander: Okay, you know what's a good day to break up with someone? Any day besides Valentine's Day!
Giles: I cannot believe that you are fool enough to do something like this.
Xander: Oh, no, I'm twice the fool it takes to do something like this.
Cordelia: Your clothes... you look so good.
Xander: I let Buffy dress me. Well, not physically.
Cordelia: Perfect. You had to make this harder, didn't you?
Xander: Okay, clearly the fact that I please you visually has got us off on the wrong foot here.
Xander: I wish dating was like slaying. You know, simple, direct, stake to the heart, no muss, no fuss.
Buffy: Sorry to say, Xand, but slaying is a tad more perilous than dating.
Xander: Well, you're obviously not dating Cordelia.
Buffy: I remember coming on to you. I remember begging you to undress me. And then a sudden need for cheese. I also remember that you didn't.
Xander: Eat cheese?
Buffy: Undress me.
Giles: (Giles searching through Angelus' history) Oh here's another... ahh yes, Valentine's Day. Angel nails a puppy to the...
Buffy: Skip it.
Giles: But, but it...
Buffy: I don't want to know, I don't have a puppy, skip it.
Giles: Right you are.
Xander: Blackmail is such an ugly word.
Amy: I didn't say blackmail.
Xander: Yeah, but I'm about to blackmail you so I thought I'd bring it up.
Giles: Buffy. Buffy, might I have a word?
Buffy: Have a sentence even.
Xander: (Xander holding a heart-shaped necklace) So what do you think?
Buffy: It's nice.
Xander: But do you think Cordelia will like it?
Buffy (referring to the heart) I don't know. Does she know what one of these is?
Xander: I have a plan: we use me as bait.
Buffy: You mean make Angel come after you?
Xander: No, I mean chop me into little pieces and stick me on hooks for fish to nibble at, 'cause it would be more fun than my life.
Angelus: I'm still trying to decide the best way to send my regards.
Spike: Why don't you rip her lungs out? It might make an impression.
Angelus: Lacks... poetry.
Spike: It doesn't have to, what rhymes with lungs?
Buffy: I'm glad that you guys are getting along, almost really, and don't stress over the gift.
Xander: Well, this is new territory for me. I mean, my valentines are usually met with heartfelt restraining orders.
Buffy: (To Willow, after Amy asks if they're going to the Bronze) Go on, I know you're dying to say it.
Willow: (To Amy) My boyfriend's in the band!
Amy: Cool.
Buffy: There, I think you have officially told everyone in the world.
Willow: (sheepishly) Only in this hemisphere...
Drusilla: Your face is a poem. Oh, I can read it.
Xander: Really? It doesn't say, "spare me" by any chance?
Drusilla: How do you feel about eternal life?
Xander: We couldn't just start with a coffee? A movie, maybe?
Amy: Why did you send Xander away? He needs me.
Jenny: That's a laugh.
Amy: He loves me. We look into each other's souls.
Jenny: No one can love two people at once. What we have is real.
Giles: Instead of making me ill, why doesn't one of you try to help me?
Amy: Who made you Queen of the world? Well, you're old enough to be.
Jenny: What can I say? I guess Xander's just too much man for the pimple squad.
Xander: (Willow leans up to the side of his face and starts to suck on his earlobe) I-I don't wanna use force.
Willow: Mmm. Force is okay!
Xander: Th-that's it! This has gotta stop. It's time for me to act like a man. And hide.
Cordelia: You're a sheep (Refering to Harmony). All you ever do is what everyone else does just so you can say you did it first. And here I am, scrambling for your approval, when I'm way cooler than you are 'cause I'm not a sheep. I do what I wanna do, and I wear what I wanna wear. And you know what? I'll date whoever the hell I wanna date. No matter how lame he is.
Amy: What do you want?
Xander: What do I want? I want some respect around here. I want, for once, to come out ahead. I want the Hellmouth to be working for me. You and me, Amy... we're gonna cast a little spell.
Willow: How long have we been friends?
Xander: A long, long time. Too long to do anything that might change that now.
Willow: Well, friendships change all the time. People grow apart. They grow closer.
Xander: Uh, this is good! How close we are now. I feel very comfortable with this amount of closeness. In fact, I can even back up a few paces and still be happy. (steps back) See?
Willow: I want you Xander. I want you to be my first...
Xander: Baseman! Please tell me we're talking baseball.
Buffy: Hi Oz! I seem to be having a slight case of nudity here.
Oz: But you're not a rat. So call it an upside.
Buffy: You think maybe you could get me some clothing?
Oz: Yes, I can. Just, uh...don't go anywhere.
Buffy: Really not an issue.
At the Bronze, during the Valentine's party, 'Dingoes Ate My Baby' play this song -- "Pain" by Four Star Mary
Cordelia breaks up with Xander -- "Drift Away" by Naked
Xander walks in slow motion in the hallway -- "Got The Love" by The Average White Band
Tamara Braun "Frenzied girl" also Co-Starred in Season 2's "When She Was Bad" as Tara.
Below the Etnies sticker in Xander's room (when Willow tries to seduce him) the word "SHEEP" is painted in red, this is possibly tied to the women who follow Xander like sheep (albeit violent ones) and Cordy's line to Harmony at the end of the episode.
The French title for this episode is "Un Amour Deroutant", which translates "A Misleading Love".
When Amy does a spell on Buffy, her eyes go pitch-black like her mother's in the episode "The Witch". This, and the mojo she worked on her teacher, suggests that Amy is taking the same path as her mother regarding the use of magic.
In this episode we see the grave with the name "Alpert," named after a producer on the show. The same grave is seen a number of times throughout the show, including the pivotal Xander scene in the 6x22 episode "Grave (2)".
In the October 1, 1999 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Gareth Davies, the producer, said this was his favorite episode.
According to an interview with Sarah Michelle Gellar, they filmed this episode in same week she first hosted Saturday Night Live. They filmed her parts first, then she left for New York, while the rat played her part for the rest of the episode.
Poster of super-heroes in Xanders bedroom
The characters on the poster are the X-Men of the year 2099 who appeared in the Marvel comic X-Men 2099 that ran for 35 issues from 1993-1996.
Cordelia: Who died and made you Elvis?
This is a play on the phrase "Who died and made you the king?". Singer Elvis Presley was often referred to as "The King of Rock & Roll" or just "The King".
Buffy: She loved you before you invoked the great roofie spirit.
Roofie is a street name for the drug Rohypnol. Know as the "date rape drug", Rohypnol is related to valium but much stronger. It acts as a strong sedative and is often combined with alcohol or other drugs.
Cordelia: Ok Harmony, if you need to borrow my Midol just ask.
Midol is an over the counter medicine used to treat the symptoms of PMS.
Xander: We were both in footy pajamas.
Pajamas with closed-end feet are worn almost exclusively by small children.
Cordelia: Because all you ever gave me was that Wal-Mart looking thing.
Wal-Mart is a huge discount store chain. By saying that the necklace looked like it came from Wal-Mart Cordelia is implying that it is a cheap inferior quality item.
Buffy: He said it with flowers.
From the advertising tag line "say it with flowers". The florists' idea is that you can express an emotion through the gift of flowers.
Xander: A man can only talk self-tanning lotion for so long before his head explodes.
Self-tanning lotions give the effect of tanning without requiring sun. The implication is that Xander and Cordy don't exactly discuss deep topics.
Cordelia: Excuse me, where's the fire sale.
A fire sale is usually held to sell the possibly damaged merchandise after a fire in a retail store. The line is a play on the phrase "where's the fire" which is often used when someone is rushing someplace (as in a fire fighter trying to get to a fire). The implication is that Harmony and her friends are more likely to be rushing off to a sale than to a fire.
Title: Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.
From the Frank Sinatra song "Bewitched" (Written by Rodgers/Hart). Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart wrote this song as part of their score for the musical "Pal Joey" in 1941. The second to last verse seems particularly appropriate to the Xander/Cordelia relationship seen in the episode:
I lost my heart, but what of it
he is cold I agree
She might laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
The chorus of the song is as follows:
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I don't like Lake Louise anymore. It used to be beautiful, but now.... it's just touristy and garbage-y. The lake is so polluted it foams on the shoreline. When I was a kid (and I'm only 25 so this isn't that long ago), it was much nicer (no foam, not as much garbage... still lots of people, though), but it went downhill.The man gets a break from school in June. I think we may plan a trip to Niagara Falls! Neither one of us have been and we've both really wanted to go. I've heard the Canadian side is better so I think we'll do that.
Another place I really want to go is Lake Louise. But one thing at a time.
There's much better places in the Rockies to visit, in my humble opinion, but most of them require a hike.
Thats so sad.

While assembling a set of rankings is a collaborative process, naturally hard-headed …. errr, independent thinkers are going to have opinions that don't always get incorporated into the list.
Tapping into that sentiment is the focus of this week's Roundtable.
Here's the question we posed to our national recruiting team: Now that Scout.com has released its new rankings for the Class of 2015, what one change would you most like to make? Whether it's a ranking on which you disagreed with your colleagues, position switch, or some other dispute, share it here.
Josh Gershon: Ivan Rabb (pictured above) remains a difficult eval. He was a dominant player during his junior season but hasn't been quite the same performer over the spring and summer. This time last year, I worried about his consistency too, and then he came out and was the best player I saw during the high school basketball season. Consistency wasn't a problem; if you watched him play as a junior, he probably dominated the game.
Given Rabb is entering his senior season with the same consistency question marks as he had this time last year, I'm hopeful he can prove once again that he's in discussion for the top prospect in the country. I think he has that kind of talent, but the guys above him did a better job proving it over the last five months. Let's see how Rabb responds.
Brian Snow: For me, there are two things. I wanted Ray Smith to finish even higher in the rankings and then also I would have preferred to find a way to get Tacko Fall into the top 100.
With Smith, he to me is not only one of the highest upside kids in the class but also one of the surest bets to make it to the highest level. This is not a class loaded with kids that project to the NBA, but Smith is definitely one that shows all the markings of an NBA wing, and the improvement he has made in the last 12 months is really impressive. To me, Smith should have found his way into our top 10 and is someone I think has true star potential, and there aren't many of those in this class.
With Fall, I just think he changes the game in such a way that he is worth a spot in the top 100. At the NBPA Top 100 Camp he showed the potential to be a complete game changer on defense, and then he has continually gotten better every month. At 7-foot-5, he is unique. He doesn't come without some definite risk, but the reality is there aren't many players like him. While he has his flaws, I do think he will impact the game more than others we ended up ranking.
Evan Daniels: This is a tough question for me based on having final say in the rankings. With that said, I think the hardest ranking for me was No. 1 overall. I went back and forth multiple times between Jaylen Brown and Ben Simmons. I think they both have legitimate claims for the No. 1 spot. Both have terrific springs and summers.
Brown's size, physical gifts and improved shooting make him a dynamic prospect. His upside is tremendous and if he reaches his ceiling he's a scary long-term prospect. On the other hand, Simmons, at 6-8 or 6-9, has an impressive skill package to go with a great feel and passing ability. His touch and ability to score attacking the basket is among his best strengths. There's a lot to like about both of these players.
Rob Harrington: When I look at guys who improved the most over the past six months, I'd liked to have found room in the top 35 for Ohio State commitment Daniel Giddens.
|Giddens has become a more complete player
The strong, mobile center may never be a great offensive player, but he has improved as a finisher and arguably is the top post defender in the senior class.
My other primary point of contention would be Perry Dozier at point guard. Given that he's a rangy 6-6, I view him as a full-fledged wing. Granted, he does possess outstanding passing ability — and he had a great summer, so his big jump clearly was warranted — but long-term, I think he'll play off the ball.
Evan Daniels, Brian Snow, Josh Gershon and Rob Harrington contributed to this report

Ross wins slam dunk title, Irving top long-range gunner
By Steve Ginsburg
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Toronto Raptors guard Terrence Ross won the NBA's Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday with a one-handed, though-the-legs rim-rattler after leaping over a ballboy.
The windmill slam earned the wild applause of the sold-out crowd at the Toyota Center and lifted the 22-year-old rookie to the title over Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz.
"I feel blessed, but it's still overwhelming," he told reporters. "I'm just trying to soak it all in."
Ross garnered 58 percent of the votes from the public in the two-dunk championship round to claim the title.
In another skills test, second-year guard Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated San Antonio Spurs power forward Matt Bonner 23-20 to win the three-point shooting contest.
Ross said he never dreamed he would win the title.
"It was my favorite event to watch every year, since I was a small child," he said. "But actually winning it, I never thought I'd do it. It's been unbelievable. I've had fun."
In the opening round of the finals, Evans leaped over a covered easel and delivered a left-handed windmill slam. After the dunk, he pulled the cover off the easel and revealed a picture of himself dunking the ball. Continued...

Murrow College 1980-1990
In 1980, Broadcasting Professor Glenn Johnson took a weekly television newscast and moved it to five nights a week on the university's television channel, Cable 8, giving students professional experience on a nightly basis on Cable 8 News. WSU was one of the few universities in the country offering television news five nights a week, contributing to a program listed fourth in the nation by the Radio Television News Director's Association. When a researcher with RTNDA asked television news directors which schools do the best job at preparing students for careers in television news, WSU came out fourth in the ranking.
The strength of the department was further solidified by the transfer of the Speech Communication (later Communication Studies) program from the department of  Speech to the department of Communications in 1983, bringing with it noted scholars in the field, such as Tim Hopf, Joseph Ayres, and Robert Nofsinger, and studies in the fields of Organizational Communication, Public Speaking, and Rhetorical Studies. The merger also provided the impetus for the foundation of a Master's degree in Communications, the department having previously contributed to one of the four emphases offered in the MA offered by the department of Speech. The Murrow School remains one of the few communication programs in the country to offer undergraduate emphases in areas such as organizational communication and intercultural communication in the same department as advertising, broadcasting, journalism and public relations.
Following Heuterman's chairmanship, Alex Tan was appointed Chairman of the department in 1986. Under Tan, the reputation of the department grew enormously. In 1986, Cable 8 Productions, an entirely student-led television channel, was formed, under the tutelage of Broadcasting Professor W. Neal Robison. Its original offerings included news, music videos, and a movie review show. The station quickly became popular with the student body and has remained a fixture to the present day, winning numerous national broadcasting awards. The department added a professional advisory board, and the Murrow Symposium continued to grow in stature, with noted speakers such as former assistant secretary of state for public affairs Bernard Kalb (1987), investigative journalist Bettina Gregory (1988), and CBS producer and Murrow colleague Fred Friendly (1989) among the dignitaries arriving in Pullman for the event.
These events greatly enhanced the visibility of the department, resulting in growing faculty aspiration. Recognizing the department's astonishing growth, the Washington State University officially named the department The Edward R. Murrow School of Communication in 1990 at that yearâs Symposium, which brought Murrow's widow, Janet, to Pullman for what would be her last visit. Along with the designation as a School and the addition of the Murrow prefix, "communications" became "communication." Faculty had decided that "communications" referred exclusively to the mass media and to the products of communication, a term now out of sync with the School's much-expanded range. The term broader "communication" thus seemed more appropriate. Alex Tan became the new School's first Director.
