©2003, 2004 Paul Burrell; (P)2007 W F Howes Ltd.
There's a saying along the lines of "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

Paul Burrell spends over 400 pages describing innumerable instances in which he believed he served as Diana's faultless knight in shining armor. He repeatedly uses words such as "heroic" and "discrete" (!) to describe himself, which struck me as increasingly strange as the book plodded on. Also, Paul has a wife and family but yet states clearly that his loyalty was/is foremost to Diana - all day, every day.

It doesn't someone who's studied psychology (which I have, I should add) to realize Paul Burrell (and Diana, to be honest) have some issues. Most likely, codependency.

Don't read this book if you're hoping to learn a great deal about Princess Diana. If self-congratulatory butlers are your thing, though, this is the book for you.
"Really enjoyed it!"
This was my first story on the Royals. I was really impressed with the lively narration and the concise, but detailed story line. I enjoyed learning about the "servant" side of the story too and how life was for Paul in the Queen's service. I found him very loyal and respectful in telling his story. I hope that this author produces more books on the subject or even on other subjects. He is a great writer and a very good narrator. I enjoyed this a lot.
I am a retired Court Reporter and I LOVE books. All kinds of books but my favorites are mysteries and period books. I like civil war books and some biographies.
"A Royal Duty"
A facinating insight to a very private and public family. It changed my opinion on quite a few things. Paul Burrell did an outstanding job.
"So glad I finally listened!"
As an American Royalist since Diana appeared on the scene, I resisted this book for many years as I felt it was a betrayal on Paul Burrell's part to have written it . My opinion is now the opposite.
At almost 20 years on from her death , it was a fascinating listen. I was brought to smiles, chuckles , and of course tears.
Thank you , Paul , for your service and for the sacrifices made by you and your family for holding the course.
Highest recommendations to all those interested in the British Royal Family
Listen to most of my audiobooks on Amazon Echo at work...I pick tried and true stories, classics and guilty pleasures
"cringe worthy adulatory rambling"
It depends...reading a book, or even more intimately, listening to a book narrated by Paul Burrell is like listening to a relative ranting about politics and life.
Something by Kitty Kelley
His personality. He's a piece of work.
I feel like I dipped a toe into a pool of unsavory tell-all instead of memoir that I was hoping to read. So much drama and conflict and rationalization. It's exhausting.
The last few chapters about his motivation and justification for writing the book were embarrassing. And bizarre.
"Excellent first person account."
History as told by the most intimate of first person accounts. Paul Burrell was The Princesses friend, counselor, and protector. Just a great story.
I can go on and on and on and on and on and on an"
Not optiona
it is too bad that I didn't get to know you l for me
"You'll never see the royals the same again.."
Surprisingly interesting. I enjoyed this book more then I expected. I thought it would be some what controversial due to the publicity it gained during its release (think: bad mouthing of the royal family and them being portrayed as cold and some what heartless). It was infact the opposite, Paul obviously had the upmost respect for the royal family and revealed a more of the warmth and kindness the royal family unforchantly keep hidden from the public. This book is one man's tribute to Diana that will be, no doubt,referenced for years to come history. Why Paul became a hated figure in the uk, for so long when he first released this book over ten years ago, i will never know. I guess they didn't read the book first?
"Great Listen, dont miss it"
Paul Burrell and family has in my view has been through so much that we other mortals would have fallen into a deep depression. He has done more than any other employee would for their employer. He deserves our respect for his loyalty to Diana and the other royals. He seems to have given the royals his life and got nothing but disloyalty and hate in return. Diana was a unique person who deserves this tribute from a caring, loyal man as Paul. Good luck to him, he deserves our support. Paul is so easy to listen to, well done Paul Cant wait for the next book.
"A Royal Duty"
I first read this tell-all royal tale back in 2005 when I was on holiday. It's full of camp bon mots and first class toadying. Burrell narrates his own book and there are some excellent 'accidental Partridge' quotes in there, such as 'Richard Madeley really understood' and 'Amanda Barrie offered me accommodation'. High camp fun!
"The story we all wanted to know"
I liked the apparent honesty of Burrell's description of circumstances and events.
It's a compelling story, about one of the most interesting figures of the 20th century.
No one seems to come out of this unscathed, but it seems clear where Burrell's sympathies lie. I think what struck me most was his enduring loyalty to HM The Queen and the clear insight into her as a sane and highly intelligent woman.
A well written and read book. Quite compelling. How true one will never know. A story of a man totally infatuated by the Princess of Wales. Not too sure why it should upset anyone as didn't feel it said anything we didn't already know. The point of the Court case is a complete mystery and one wonders what that was all about! His wife is an angel and the true star of the book. Why she put up with his obsession of POW is beyond me! I enjoyed the story but feel it is just that, a story.
Really enjoyed this, it was far better than I anticipated. The pace was good and it was full of fascinating little snippets. My Mum started listening to it in the car with me and bought it herself as she was enjpying it so much too.
"Told the other side of the story..Very eye opening"
Very sad story of how a young girl then beautiful woman was taken advantage of....
I didn't enjoy this book at all, I feel somewhat let down by the story, it was difficult to listen to

Soothe Your Soul
By Elizabeth Ginns Britten — April 2005
As I write this, senior editor Capt. Patrick Sciacca is standing behind me, explaining how during the winter months he ties knots in his living room in front of the tube; he says it's "therapeutic." While I'll have to take his word on that (my therapeutic experiences generally take place at the spa), I can tell you that knowing how to tie a variety of knots is essential on the water, and anyone looking to learn a new knot for the upcoming boating season or perfect an existing knot-tying technique will dig this DVD.
Scott's Knots is, as its cover says, a clear and concise guide to great knots for everyday use; it's hosted by Scott Baker, an avid boater and member of the International Guild of Knot Tyers and Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary. The 30-minute DVD takes viewers through the history of knot-tying and demonstrates some popular (and challenging) knots, hitches, and splices like the figure 8, bowlin', reef knot, eye splice, and monkey's fist, to name a few.
The video retails for $19.95 and is available online or in a number of boating stores.

14 cats seized from northeast Gainesville home after complaints
Published: Thursday, December 5, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 5, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
Alachua County Animal Services seized 14 cats Thursday morning from the home of a 70-year-old Gainesville woman after more than a year of complaints about the cats' conditions.
The smell of ammonia wafted from the red house at 1410 NE Fourth Ave., where the woman lived alone with her cats, Alachua County Animal Services investigator Jessica Lauginiger said.
The agency had been working over the past year with the woman to try to improve the environment for the cats, but after several complaints from neighbors that the cats were in the same condition and that the smell of cat urine was too bad, the agency decided to step in, she said.
"The ammonia levels in the air at the house were harmful and unlivable for humans," Lauginiger said.
The agency removed 14 cats from the home and took them to a veterinarian for medical treatment but could not catch a 15th cat. Animal Services will leave a trap in the home for the last cat and check on it twice a day until the cat is caught, said Vernon Sawyer, director of Alachua County Animal Services.
At noon on Thursday, several law enforcement and city agencies were still at the woman's house trying to find the 15th cat and calm the woman down.
Witnesses said that as officials tried to find the cat, the woman yelled, "I'll see you rot in hell before you take Skylar!" The woman also told police, "You might as well kill me if you take my cats," Gainesville Police Department Officer Ben Tobias said.
Police detained her under the Baker Act for psychological evaluation because of her statements and because her house was inhospitable. Alachua County Sheriff's Deputy Perry Koon said there will be a civil hearing in which a judge will determine whether she is allowed to get custody of the cats again.
The owner of the house, who did not want to be named, said he had bought the house a couple of months ago and that the woman had been renting the home for eight years.
Gainesville building official John Freeland condemned the building after several tests, which means no humans can live in the house until the owner fixes the violations, Freeland said.

What You Need to Know
When Yu Hot, Yu Hot
The Tuesday Takeaway
Just 293 days after Matt Cain authored a 14-strikeout perfect game against the Astros, Darvish came to the brink of doing the same. Then, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, number-nine hitter Marwin Gonzalez sent a first-pitch fastball into center field, breaking up Darvish's bid for his first career perfect game, and chasing the righty, who had thrown 111 pitches, from the contest. Michael Kirkman subsequently allowed a single to Jose Altuve, before striking out pinch-hitter J.D. Martinez to end the 7-0 affair.
The Brooks Baseball PITCHf/x breakdown of Darvish's outing shows that he relied primarily on his cutter and slider, employing one of those two offerings on 82 of his 111 deliveries (73.8 percent). The latter pitch was extraordinarily effective, accounting for 26 of Darvish's 78 strikes, all but one of which were either taken, fouled off, or swung at and missed. In total, Darvish earned 27 whiffs on 64 swings, an incredible 42.1 percent clip that surely was inflated by the Astros' weak lineup, but is very impressive all the same.
The 14 strikeouts were the highest total amassed by a Rangers starter since July 7, 1991, when Nolan Ryan punched out 14 Angels in 8 1/3 innings, before giving way to Kenny Rogers. Darvish's previous career high was 11 strikeouts, a mark he attained four times last season, including a win over the Astros on June 15, two days after Cain's perfect game.
Texas' early-season schedule, which includes a day off on Thursday, will enable manager Ron Washington to use Darvish in Sunday's series finale against the Angels. Darvish logged 48 strikeouts—more than twice his next-highest total versus a single opponent—in 38 1/3 innings over six starts versus Mike Scioscia's squad last year, so he'll be anxiously awaiting his next assignment. For now, after coming up one batter short of 27 up, 27 down, he'll have to settle for a victory and his manager's love.
Matchup of the Game
Robinson Cano has an excellent track record against Boston starter Clay Buchholz, with 12 hits—including four doubles and a home run—in 25 at-bats. In fact, Cano's .480 average and 1.240 OPS lead all hitters that have logged at least 20 plate appearances versus the 28-year-old righty.
Of course, most of the damage that Cano has done to Buchholz has been as much the result of poorly executed pitches as of the four-time All-Star's hitting prowess. In their most recent encounter, on October 1, 2012, Cano smacked a double on thigh-high cutter that came in right down Broadway and a homer on a belt-high fastball in his upstairs wheelhouse.
As the chart above, from Cano's hitter profile, shows, the lefty is susceptible to well-placed heaters from right-handed pitchers, either in on the hands or tailing off the outside edge. (Testing the middle-middle cold spot is probably inadvisable.) Buchholz exhibited much better command of his hard stuff this spring, on the way to a 22-to-6 K:BB and only 12 hits allowed in 22 2/3 innings of work.
Providence Journal beat writer Brian MacPherson noted in his recap of Buchholz's March 28 outing against the Pirates that he punched out five lefty batters with a two-seamer tailing back over the inside edge, throwing it "with vicious precision." Buchholz's ability to carry over that improvement into his regular-season debut in the Bronx could prove pivotal in his showdowns with Cano and to the game as a whole.

Some notes on songs you have up, first about the Arabic counterpart of Jingle Bells, and then your songs from southern Africa.
You put up the correct equivalent of the Arabic title Laylet Eid, but the Arabic text "كلمات اغاني" beside it actually reads "kalimaat aghaanii" (words of the song… X). The Arabic text that transliterates as Laylet Eid is actually the text "ليلة عيد" that repeats three times in the first line.
Now for the Zulu and Xhosa songs:
You have a song put up as follows:
Hamba natil (Zulu)
Hamba natil makulule wethu
Hamba natil makulule wethu
Hamba natil makulule wethu
Hamba natil makulule wethu
makulule wethu
makulule wethu
makulule wethu
makulule wethu
Now is the time, I send you all my thoughts.
Actually, the Zulu is rather garbled -- especially 'natil', which is not a possible Zulu word --, and the translation has nothing whatsowever to do with the Zulu text. Here is a version below that gives the Zulu correctly, but still gives a "translation" that only has a tenuous connection - at best - with the meaning of one word in the text.
Hamba nathi (Go with us/Come with us)
http://www.spiritseasons.com/sublevel.t ... rency_id=0
Hamba nathi Mkhululi wethu,
hamba nathi Mkhululi wethu.
Hamba nathi Mkhululi wethu,
hamba nathi Mkhululi wethu.
Mkhululi, Mkhululi, Mkhululi wethu,
Mkhululi, Mkhululi, Mkhululi wethu.
Mkhululi, Mkhululi, Mkhululi wethu,
Mkhululi, Mkhululi, Mkhululi wethu.
The text, contrary to what the web page claims, says nothing that translates as "you are holy".
Literally, it translates as "go (hamba) along with us (nathi) our (wethu) saviour/redeemer/liberator ([u]mkhululi)". More idiomatically in English, 'hamba nathi' would be something like "Stay with us".
'Nathi' is na- 'with' + thi[na] 'we/us'; 'wethu' is -ethu 'our' with the u-/w- agreement prefix for umu- class nouns. 'Mkhululi' is the noun umkhululi 'liberator, emancipator, saviour', from the verb root -khulula. Nouns in Zulu/Xhosa normally begin with the inherent vowel of the (V)CV noun prefix repeated before the consonant, but when used as vocatives, i.e. to speak to the person or thing the noun identifies, the pre-prefix vowel is dropped. This also happens for names: when someone is referred to in the third person, their name is always preceded by an u- pre-prefix, but it is dropped when addressing a person directly. I'm guessing the fact one possible translation of 'umkhululi' is 'saviour' gave someone an excuse to give the song a more religious connotation than was likely intended in the original Zulu.
For "Senzeni na" you have the following lyrics and translation:
What have we done?
So no se thu, u bu mya ma
Our sin is we are poor
So no se thu, yin ya ni so
Our sin is we are black
Si bu la wa yo
They are killing us
Ma yu bu ye, i Africa
Let Africa return
The 'na' should never be attached to the preceding word: it's a question particle that doesn't pull the stress one syllable over from its usual place. The base word is 'senze' (si 'we' + enz- 'do' + -e [perfective ending]): the stress is on the second to last syllable (sénze), its regular location in the non-ideophone lexicon of Zulu. Then the interrogative clitic -ni 'what' is added and pulls the stress over to the next syllable because it has now become penultimate (senzéni). When 'na' ends a sentence, though, it never pulls the stress over to the last syllable of the word that precedes it, which is why it is always separate in Zulu orthography.
That dealt with, it's amusingly ironic that in the REST of the lyrics you were given, whole words are inexplicably chopped into syllable-sized chunks - some of them with consonants grouped into the wrong syllable - without any indication of what groups with what to make a word, and with a spelling mistake or two thrown in. Imagine doing this to a song from a European language! (Think "Gwl ad beur dda cha tnor ion en wog io nof ri" for the approximate effect… *wince*) This unfortunately happens far too often with languages that some still seem to unconsciously consider "savage dialects" without their own spelling rules that should be respected just like those of European languages. Hopefully you can correct this taking into account what I say below.
Here are two links to somewhat more accurate transcriptions and translations of the lyrics:
Senzeni na
http://www.mamalisa.com/blog/senzenina- ... eral-song/
Senzeni na
Sono sethu ubumnyama
Sono sethu yinyaniso
Mayibuye i Africa
What Have We Done?
(English Translation)
What have we done?
Our sin is that we are black
Our sin is the truth
They are killing us
Let Africa return.
Here, the spelling is more accurate, as is the translation. The most glaringly strange thing in the lyrics is 'ubumnyama', a noun meaning 'blackness', which if the first 'u' is pronounced with a breathy low tone, would mean literally 'is blackness', but not 'that we are black' or 'being black'. I admit to not being an expert in Zulu/Xhosa grammar, so I just located a Xhosa-language page that mentions it here:
http://www.capegateway.gov.za/eng/pubs/ ... May/104064
The discussion seems to be about a protest at one of the SA government ministries, and the person writing asks: "Kodwa sobuye sicule sisithi SENZENI NA? ISONO SETHU BUBUMNYAMA NA?" (But should we again sing the words WHAT HAVE WE DONE? IS OUR CRIME BEING BLACK?) It seems then that the correct word is the predicative noun 'bubumnyama' (bu- verb agreement + bu- abstract noun prefix + -mnyama 'black'), and not 'ubumnyama'. The rest of the text and the translation this site gives are OK, except that a literal translation of 'sibulawayo' is "we who are being killed" (si- 'we' pronominal prefix + bulal- 'kill' + -wa passive indicative -- the final 'l' drops out in the passive -- + yo relativiser). (A side note: this verb is related to the name of Bulawayo in the majority Ndebele southwest of Zimbabwe: it comes from kwaBulawayo 'at the place where [someone is] being killed'.)
Here's another, slightly different version, with [u]ku+ba+mnyama "to+be+black" and the predicative ku+yi- "it (verbal agreement with uku-) is" prefixed to isono:
https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/bitstream/181 ... OSUpdf.pdf
(page 6)
Senzeni na senzeni na
Senzeni na senzeni na
Senzeni na senzeni na
Senzeni na kulomhlaba?
(Amabhulu azizinja
Amabhulu azizinja
Amabhulu azizinja
Amabhulu azizinja)
Kuyisono 'kubamnyama

It's a sin in this country (world)] (Pollard 113)
A couple of other comments about the other two songs on the Zulu page:
The first song's title should be spelled 'Siyahamba' (si- 'we' -ya- present progressive -hamb- 'go' -a present indicative), not 'Sia humba', which is just an approximation of the sounds using English spelling conventions. Also, the last word of the first line that is repeated should be kwenkos' (the last vowel of kwenkosi being elided for rhythmic effect): in Zulu/Xhosa, when an aspirated consonant like the kh of -khosi 'lord' is prenasalised, it can't remain aspirated and has to become nk (and the k becomes an ejective). So although the (irregular) plural is amakhosi, the singular is inkosi, without an h. Oh, and kwenkosi is kwa- plus inkosi (ku- agreement with the uku- noun prefix of ukukhanya 'light, brilliance' which is hidden inside the locative e- -ini circumfix). In both cases, a+i becomes e.

You can (kind of) get Google Maps back after iOS 6 update
0. phoneArena posted on 20 Sep 2012, 06:17
Those who miss the old Google Maps (we cannot blame you, given the initial criticism Apple's Maps app is getting) can easily get access to Google's mapping service. In fact, the solution is so simple that some of you may have figured it out already...

Will Apple allow google maps to be available? Or it will be like Google Voice Search which is still not available (the App Store that is)

wait until someone ports the google maps app and sticks it in Cydia :)
10. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
That's funny: "they" got a bigger screen with a new connector and "they" 'kind of' lost Google Maps.
So Apple said, "you can have THIS but, ya' can't have THAT!"
(Hey, wasn't that a song?)
12. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)
Google Maps is pretty basic if you need general directions even if it was off a couple of times namely with location of something. People need to understand how a business works. Apple was dependent on Google for maps before iOS 6. That was making Google money. Would you really sit and allow a company to make a lot of money off your platform with all of your data?
13. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
Google maps is pretty basic? you serious
''Would you really sit and allow a company to make a lot of money off your platform with all of your data?'
well if thats the case samsung, sony etc all who make the parts for the iphone should stop....why should apple make money off there products
google maps and nokia maps are the 2 best in my opinion. apple are only doing this to further close off others. its pretty bad for the customers if you think about
14. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 904; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
If apple was smart it would have let google make a google maps app for the ios platform years ago but instead they wanted control and use googles services with their horrible software. The lack of turn by turn directions is the biggest reason I got rid of my iphone. Google instead made more money by people switching platforms. The only reason Apple has a leg to stand on is 3rd party apps. If you keep If you take that out Apple is just another outdated operating system with outdated hardware.

Logged Rad Admin Most Active Member Offline Posts: 2134 Re: 4 planets square the Nodes « Reply #31 on: Jan 17, 2011, 12:03 PM » Hi Dhyana, The connecting point of that one son and her is this: he has been a Soul in which many others, including parents in recent lifetimes, have tried to control every aspect of his being: of what to be, what not to be, how to do this or that, versus not, what to think and believe, versus not, etc to the point that the Soul of the boy has such a built up of anger that this anger manifest as an instinctual rebellion at anyone whom the Soul perceives that is doing this yet again: the rebellion at external control. For the mother the control issue is one of self imposed control, the 'little box of control' that is a reaction to various traumas that have needed to be suppressed in order for her to have a sense of Soul stability. Many of the traumas that she has created for herself have lead to a deep, deep guilt that has also needed to be shut off: denied. A simple example: in another fairly recent live she allowed herself to be 'kept' by a very wealthy father figure, not biological, who gave her all that she thought that she wanted and needed. This included that that person opened many doors for her relative to certain career desires. Out of that situation she became pregnant with this individual. The son that this produced was not welcomed at all by either of them. That son was then raised mainly by 'nanny's' while a toddler then when the boy got old enough was sent off to various boarding schools for kids. And in those kinds of schools all kids were subjected to harsh discipline, and expected to 'toe the line' in every way. The individuality of each child simply did not matter to either the schools, or to her as the mother who was so bound up in her career and the complexities born of the situation with the man who was 'keeping' her. The boy in question is now the current son that you are asking about. Do not mention any of this to the mother now Dhyanna. I am only sharing this for your own information so as to understand the core of the issue with her and this son. And as I suggested earlier just try to follow that procedure of how to move forwards with her in the counseling situation. God Bless, Rad Logged Dhyana Very Active Member Offline Posts: 480 Re: 4 planets square the Nodes « Reply #32 on: Jan 17, 2011, 01:12 PM » I understand just what you mean, Rad. Thank you.I asked her what she really wanted to understand -- and mainly she wants to understand is the nature of her spiritual path in this life, and how to best support that and how to nurture that in her children. I would post her questions here if that is appropriate or useful on this forum in anyway further. Otherwise, I will just go ahead now and begin sharing with her.Namaste` --Truly,Dhyana Logged Rad Admin Most Active Member Offline Posts: 2134 Re: 4 planets square the Nodes « Reply #33 on: Jan 17, 2011, 02:09 PM » Hi Dhyana, Just follow her lead via the questions that she is asking. If down the line she wants or needs more from you, as in these deeper kinds of issues, then we can revisit it at that time. God Bless, Rad Logged Dhyana Very Active Member Offline Posts: 480 Re: 4 planets square the Nodes « Reply #34 on: Jan 17, 2011, 02:30 PM » I feel very clear. That makes perfect sense to me. It is really interesting what you say about the son above. In following my intuition as I already shared with her about her son, it was so much like that which you said -- him having been repressed/suppressed and controlled by the "family" and that his soul can no longer hold this compression (things like that, I shared) etc. So Rad, thanks for your trust in me,in sharing what you did. I shall take good care here.In this Love,Dhyana Logged Dhyana Very Active Member Offline Posts: 480 Re: 4 planets square the Nodes « Reply #35 on: Jan 17, 2011, 05:59 PM » OH, there are a couple specific questions she asked -- wanted to bring up one of them-- she asked: "will i ever stop looking for approval from others and what is at the root of me doing that?"Now,(Added more aspects later) that Saturn/Chiron in Pisces being in the 9th opposing Pluto. That Saturn ruling the 6th House (Cap) (never feeling good enough), then the Ruler of the 9th in the 5th, the natural Leo Archetype house (never enough recognition) w/ Pluto being the ruler of the 5th house (atleast half of it) speaks to this amongst many other things in the chart --and I am aware there are more repeating themes. Also, the nature of a Leo Moon is to feel like there is never enough recognition --the bottomless pit (and I know this not just from studying EA, but bc I have one square my Nodes). I know it was very liberating for me to finally understand where that was coming from and really get some space around it. I am sure the woman will feel supported in knowing this too.So if there is anything Rad or anyone has deeper insight and may want to add to this specific question of hers, I would welcome that. She asks me "what is at the ROOT of this"? Peace,D « Last Edit: Jan 17, 2011, 08:32 PM by Dhyana » Logged Rad Admin Most Active Member Offline Posts: 2134 Re: 4 planets square the Nodes « Reply #36 on: Jan 18, 2011, 12:20 PM » Hi Dhyana, The root of it exists in other lives in which she deviated from cultural norms of what was acceptable and not in terms of various behaviors, and ways of being. A simple example is that life where she allowed herself to be kept, etc. In a variety of such lives this would lead to one kind of trauma after another, and the crisis created in such lives. In turn, this would lead to her own internal judgment of herself: 'what is wrong with me'. Thus, her own inner relationship to herself, Venus, 2nd House, was so defined. This inner vibration within her defined by 'what's wrong with me' then attracted others who would have in varying degrees of intensity the same negative judgments about her. So, of course, this only lead to the 'confirmation' that, indeed, there has been something wrong with her. All of this is what has lead to the compensatory behaviors defined by the 'little box of control'. So the root issue is simple: she must allow and accept within herself that she is different as compared to the consensus of whatever society. This is symbolized in her Venus conjunct the Sun in Taurus in her 11th House, as well as the Pluto, Mars, Uranus conjunction where that Mars and Uranus are in her 2nd House. The opposition to her Saturn and Chiron means to 'throw off' the unnecessary internal judgments that there is something wrong with me, and to oppose anyone who tries to judge her in this way. In so doing she then liberates herself from this self imposed 'little box of control' defined by the compensatory behavior. The liberated attitude would go something like 'this is who I am, take it or leave it'. In so doing she will then create the circumstances in her life in which the others in her life will then love her for exactly who she is.

The Society of Genealogists has an increasing number of online datasets available to their members. Those of us with Solicitors on our family tree will find this one helpful.
Solicitors' index
This index was originally compiled on record cards and donated to the Society by the professional genealogist Brian Brooks in 2002. It was subsequently converted into digital form by Les Muriel. The coverage is not comprehensive and so it should only be treated as a finding aid. Some counties receive fuller treatment than others and it should be noted that since Mr Brooks retained the cards for London, Middlesex, Sussex and Wales no entries exist for these places. There is relatively little data on Scotland and India. The index was compiled from numerous sources including the following:
- Law Lists: 1780, 1790, 1793, 1800, 1802, 1805, 1808-1828, 1830-1840, 1843-1849, 1851-1855, 1861. (The 1861 edition was sometimes used to show date of admission.) The Clerks of the Counties 1360-1960 by Sir Edgar Stephens, 1961

Great site for those who live or have ancestry in the South Gloucestershire area covered by this website.
The pages covering the history of Stoke Gifford are wonderful and a template for what all village history websites show be like. Must make a start on the website I keep thinking about on the village of Goosey in Berkshire (yes I know it is now in Oxfordshire, but my granny who was born there would not agree with you!!)

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Expands Fishing Opportunities in the Metroplex
ATHENS, Texas — Fishing just got better in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has added new Neighborhood Fishin' lakes in Denton and Mesquite.
The Neighborhood Fishin' program lets TPWD partner with local governments to provide enhanced fishing opportunities in local parks. TPWD stocks park lakes with catfish and, beginning in early December, rainbow trout every two weeks. Lakes are selected that will provide residents the opportunity to fish close to home, hence the name Neighborhood Fishin'.
In Denton, the new fishing lake is South Lakes Park's North Pond. The 187-acre park has two ponds as well as a full slate of park amenities such as hiking trails, picnic areas, playgrounds and athletic fields. The North Pond is closest to McMath Middle School.
Mesquite City Lake includes a five-acre pond that is that city's new Neighborhood Fishin' lake. The 11.8-acre park includes picnic tables, tennis court, baseball diamond, water park, and an activity center.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex now has five Neighborhood Fishin' lakes, two of which have tackle loaner programs. For locations and information, visit http://www.neighborhoodfishin.com/.
"With the additions of these two sites, more fishermen and families in the DFW area will have easier access to this great program," said Rafe Brock, TPWD Inland Fisheries biologist for the Metroplex. "The Cities of Denton and Mesquite have invested a lot of resources in developing their fishing opportunities in the past. By joining the Neighborhood Fishin' program, they have committed to providing a great fishing opportunity to their citizens."
The Neighborhood Fishin' program is made possible by funds from the Toyota Texas Bass Classic. Neighborhood Fishin' lakes are located in Amarillo, Austin, Bryan-College Station, Duncanville, Fort Worth, Houston, Hurst, San Angelo, San Antonio, Waco and Wichita Falls.

HOUSTON - A break-in at a bike store Thursday morning wasn't the first one in the area—it wasn't even a first for the particular bike shop.
In March, suspects were seen rushing into a TruTri Sports in Cypress, each rushing out with two bikes. They quickly stuffed them into a van and took off.
Then, for a fifth time since September, the Bike Barn in West U was the store of choice for thieves.
"We've had about six months of no crime and pretty quiet at all of the stores," Bike Barn co-owner Lee Neathery said.
Until Thursday morning. On surveillance video, two men enter through the side of the building just before 4 a.m. and quickly begin prying the door open. As the alarm sounds, you can see them sprint onto the sales floor, however, minutes later, they return with very little.
"All of our bikes are cabled down at night and locked down," Neathery said. "Expensive bikes are put in locked closets, so luckily, this time the burglars came out empty-handed without any bikes."
The crooks did manage to get away with a computer on their way out. Having compiled a folder filled with products stolen in the past, Neathery said her stores have suffered at least $100,000 in losses.
"It's really unnerving and it just wakes you up out of your sleep at 4 a.m. when your phone's ringing and you see the number and know it's the security company," she said. "It's a very disturbing feeling and I think like all victims of crime, whether it's your home or your business, it's very personal and you feel very violated."
The store estimates the damage done Thursday, along with replacing the stolen computer, should cost them from $4,000 to $5,000.
Investigators are also trying to figure out on what streets the bike burglars are selling their stolen goods on. Anyone with information is asked to call Houston police.

I'm watching an old BBQ U episode and Steven has just filled a skewer with shrimp that're all oriented the same way, and he specifically points this out.
On the other hand I go for balance when I skewer things that aren't symmetrical. So that means that when it comes to shrimp I alternate the heads and tails from side to side, because they're going to be over direct heat anyway and in theory will all be cooked evenly.
So which type of skewerer(?) are you? Of course, this isn't a right-or-wrong question...whatever works for you is all that matters!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Shut down after a fatal shooting on New Year's Day, the owner of a nightclub in Northwest Jacksonville is planning to reopen, smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood.
Vincent Brown, who operates the club, talked this week about how he's going to make that happen.
"The fire marshal came out, said we needed to widen the bathrooms for handicap reasons," Brown said.
As he works on repairs, Hazel Harley said she's scared of what's to come. She lives just down the street and remembers the night police said two clubgoers shot and killed 45-year-old James Graham and wounded two others.
"I won't even come out. I won't even come out," Harley said on if the club reopens.
Since the killing, Channel 4 began to question how the concrete block building that's surrounded by homes is able to operate as a business called Club Chicago Inn.
Channel 4's Elizabeth Cate found out there are conflicting rules within the zoning code. Cate asked city councilman Warren Jones if he thinks the law is clear.
"It's clear when you talk to legal, it is clear, but the distinction is the value," Jones said.
As the law is written now, the property is grandfathered in to zoning rules. Built in the 1960s, it operated as a neighborhood store where homeowners could walk to pick up groceries.
Fast forward to 2012, it's now a members-only nightclub, a far cry from its original intent.
Some neighbors are hopeful that history can be erased to close up the club.
"We zoned that property and many others as residential. They're grandfathered in," Jones said. "As I told the residents, we can't zone a company out of business, but if they're closed for a year or longer, they can't reopen."
According to the club's electric bills, the property did shut down for six months in 2008, which according to code should have been enough to shut it down for good.
Except that in a separate section of the law, the city says since the property is worth more than $4,000, it can stay.
Very few properties are worth less than that, which means the six-month rule, intended to create safer neighborhoods, serves no purpose, some say.
"What happened on Chicago Club on New Year's Day, it could happen at other places," Jones said. "And it's not good planning, it's no conducive to a safe clean neighborhood, it's not compatible with residential use, the noise, the trash the traffic that it generates."
Jones has now decided to file a bill to change the code, a move neighbors are hopeful helps clean up the city.

"Ramsay Massacre"
20 May 1815 — Marthasville, MO
Please remember to read this knowing that these are accounts at the time or relatively shortly thereafter, and not my opinions of what went on at the edges of the west between incoming European settlers and native Americans.
# William S. Bryan and Robert Rose, A History or the Pioneer Families of Missouri (1876) p. 101
A lad named Abner Bryan, a son of Jonathan Bryan was boarding at the house of Jesse Caton (who lived near the present site of Marthasville), attending school, and had been sent to Ramsey's that morning on some errand. He left only a short time before the attack, and no doubt narrowly escaped death. Jesse Caton, Jr, a son of the gentleman just mentioned, was hunting some of his father's horses in the woods, and while crossing a ravine near Ramsey's house, discovered the tracks of the Indians, and immediately afterward the yelling and firing commenced at the house. He ran home as quickly as possible, and gave the alarm, and several members of the family started at once to warn their neighbors. By eight o'clock the news had spread all over the settlements, and a large party of armed men were in pursuit of the Indians, while others remained to take care of the wounded. Colonel Booone, who was in Callaway's Fort, at Charette, was sent for to dress their wounds, his long experience in such matters having rendered him very efficient. The news of the massacre had preceded the messenger, and when he arrived at the fort Boone was pacing up and down in front of an open space in the stockades, which had not been completed, with his gun on his shoulder, and whistling in his usual undisturbed manner.
Ramsay Massacre
On the morning of May 20, 1815, Indians attacked Robert Ramsey and his family. He, his pregnant wife Sally, daughter Lizzie and two other children all died from the brutal and fatal wounds they received. Two young children, Rachel, about five years old, and John, not yet two years old, survived the attack.
Nathan Boone carried the news to St. Louis. The following account was printed in the MISSOURI GAZETTE AND ILLINOIS ADVERTISER, May 27, 1815, page 2, column 4:
Footnote 52 - # State Historical Society of Missouri, Newspaper Library.
Major Nathan Boon, arrived in town on sunday evening last, brings the melancholy news, that on Saturday morning last, about fifteen Indians approached the dwelling house of Mr. Robert Ramsay, of Saint Charles county---killed three of his children, and dangerously wounded him and his wife. Of the recovery of Mrs. Ramsay there is no hope. The children were scalped and horridly butchered. Mr. Ramsay lived about two miles from the old Charette village, in the heart of an important settlement; and not more than sixty miles hence. One of the little children of the family, made his escape and sounded the alarm. The neighbors, as soon as they could, gave pursuit, but as yet nothing has been heard from them.
The Indians who have committed the above atrocious murder, are no doubt a part of those hellish bands who rendezvous at Rock river; to whom a pipe has been sent, and to whom a messenger is now bound, to invite them to a consummation of the Ghent treaty.
It cannot for a moment be believed that a treaty will bind these inhuman butchers; nothing but exemplary chastisement will teach them to respect our borders.
Followed in the same newspaper by:
Copy of a letter from a gentleman in St. Charles County, to the editor.
You have no doubt heard of the butchery of Robert Ramsey and his family, by the savages. It was attended with these traits of horrible acts of cruelty which mark the progress of the allies of England. Mrs. Ramsey was tending the milking of her cows, and her pretty little children were amusing themselves, feeding the poultry, and assisting their mother. Mr. Ramsey, who you know has but one leg, was near his wife at the moment the first shot was fired. He saw his wife fall and succeeded to lead her into the house, but as he reached the door he received a wound which prevented him to go to the relief of his children who were caught by the indians and cut to pieces in the yard.

Texans Worry About CHIP Amid Health Care Overhaul
The Affordable Care Act requires states to maintain eligibility requirements for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program through 2019. But Gov. Rick Perry and the Republican Governors Association oppose the provision, and some families in Texas fear children's health care could be in jeopardy. Carter Townes is a 5-year-old cancer patient from Clarksville. He and his family visited Washington, D.C., last week to talk with Sen. John Cornyn about their Medicaid worries.

Hey everyone <3!
Don't you just LOVE the weekend? I mean, you can do whatever you want, relax a little bit, maybe make some homework.
Just what I think of it.
Tomorrow I have 2 go to school again; so does everyone else. (Unless someone is in a timedifference; those lucky bastards have an extra day off!!!!)
But; I think I can get started reading Breaking Dawn tomorrow, but I'm not entirely sure. I hope so.. :P
I really don't have a lot to talk about today; maybe because I get inspirations for my blogs from schoolexperiences; I mean, isn't the teenagerbrain fascinating? I mean, we all have our own opinions, and we're all very stubborn.
Wait a second, I'm going to ask my brother (He is 7, haha) what he thinks of me being a teenager.
Well, I'm back.
Wanna know what that little man said?
Well, I'll thank God on my knees if your behaviour is only temporarily! You're so stupid!
I mean, get serious, like 7-year-olds aren't annoying as hell. They always want what they want, and everything and anything else can disappear, but THEY need to get what THEY want.
Sorry. I'm a little tired.
Don't comment if you think I'm acting a little stupid.
See y'all soon!
P.S: Only Jess could react then, since she's so crazy she couldn't possibly think I'm acting stupid right now!!! Haha, just kidding Jess, <3 U!! XOXO!

Payment Processing
Product 1/10
The optional DATA kit consists of an air fuel sensor and amplifier box that plugs into the PIM2, and allows for self-mapping of the motorcycle. Self-mapping means that as the user rides the bike on a dyno or on a closed course, the DATA Box automatically calculates the required fuel adjustment at each RPM and Throttle Position to reach the user selectable target air fuel ratio.
The DATA Box offers an alternative way for mapping without the time or cost of a custom dyno tune. For the rider looking for maximum performance, a dyno tune together with the DATA is the way to go.
The DATA Box Mapping software allows for the user to easily enter the target air fuel ratio, start, stop, and review the results of the self-mapping function. Once the recommended adjustments have been reviewed, the user can either apply all of the suggested adjustments or just a certain range with a few simple clicks of the mouse.
The kit comes with all of the required hardware, but may require modification of the exhaust pipe to accept the air fuel sensor fitting.
DATA Box only works with English-language Computer Operating Systems. It does not support any other language Operating Systems at this time.
This product was added to our catalog on Sunday 16 January, 2011.

Egypt and the Western powers in Europe
While Britain was forging alliances in the Middle East she had also to face the new situation in Egypt. Sooner after the fall of Farouk the old Egyptian political parties, including the nationalist Wafd, which had opposed British influence for over sixty years, were dissolved. They were replaced by the army liberation rally, pro-revolutionary new nationalist movement controlled by the army officers who had staged the revolution and commanding widespread popular support. 在 1954 Nasser became prime minister ( and later president) and the British had to deal with a passionate nationalist who was strongly opposed to their presence both in the canal zone and Sudan. 在 1953 the Egyptians had agreed that the Sudanese should be allowed to choose their own future, although they continued to campaign for a Union of Egypt and Sudan. In fact, 然而, the Sudanese chose complete independence 在 1956.

Forums: Index > The Wizengamot > How did Quirrell touch Harry in the chapter "Diagon Alley"
"P-P-Potter, stammered Proffesor Quirrell, grasping Harry's hand, 'c-can't t-tell you how pleased I am to meet you." ADR1 01:16, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
- That's what I assumed, thanks for verifying ADR1 03:13, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know about the books but observing the scenes of the movie version, it's possible that happened either one of these possibilities: 1) Quirrell could touch Harry's hand because Voldemort was at the back of his head and not in his hand; 2) Quirrell could touch Harry's hand because he haven't touched the Philosopher's Stone yet, so Harry didn't have the power that the stone gave to him. Andre G. Dias (talk) 15:18, January 18, 2014 (Brazil)
Another question that I didn't want to make a new topic for. Why does this wiki say Hermione was born in 1979, but Harry was born in 1980? Aren't they the same age?ADR1 03:41, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
- The school year at Hogwarts starts 1 September. If you turned 11 between 1 September the previous year and 1 September this year, then you go. So, Hermione was born 19 September, 1979, so both she and Harry who was born 31 July 1980, were 11 years old when the term started. She is one of the oldest kids in their year; whereas, Harry is one of the youngest. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 03:45, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

For a millisecond I thought of creating a fashion blog for men. Well, not just any men, the Big & Tall men out there. I'm married to a man that fits perfectly in this category. At 6'4 and wearing a size 2X, I wanted him to have a place to find fashion and lifestyle tips.
That's when I had this epiphany, of course I did my research and I came across an online magazine that seems to already have it together…Chubstr.com. OK, first of all, I love the name!! And second of all it has great content.
Chubstr is a style destination for men of many sizes. Whether you call yourself chubby, plus size, fat, plump, or nothing at all, it's not about what you wear, it's about how it makes you feel. Find clothing that helps you create and display your own personal style.
From their "Chubstr Crush" and "Man of the Week" to their "Style Deconstructed" features I'm hooked. Men can even submit their own style photos.
Check it out and tell me what you think and don't be afraid to refer this site to the big guy in your life.

Get set for some significant sales on domestic flying over the coming months if the current capacity splurge continues.
In fact, passengers are likely to have seen some fantastic deals in February through to April already.
Recently, Virgin Australia released its February operating statistics, which shows growth over the year in a measure of capacity called available seat kilometres of over 16 per cent. Over the same period of time Qantas Group domestic capacity rose by almost 8 per cent.
With Qantas intent on holding onto its 65 per cent domestic market share target, it's going to have raise its capacity growth to keep pace with Virgin.
Bold move
The move by Virgin to raise its capacity by over three times its long run average growth rate is a bold one in the current domestic economic environment.
Domestic leisure demand is in a weak period in the cycle as more Australians switch into short haul outbound leisure destinations from Australian leisure destinations as a result of the strength of the Australian dollar.
Domestic leisure demand has also been hurt by the higher prices of non-discretionary goods, such as energy prices, the impact on confidence generated by the continued uncertainty in the global and local jobs markets, and the significant drop in the population growth rate.
And business demand, which closely follows what happens in equity markets, is likely to be growing below trend.
This would suggest that the CEO of Virgin Australia, John Borghetti's capacity strategy is banking on continued steal from the Qantas business rather than stimulation of market demand. And this steal will put pressure on Qantas fares.
Most of the downward fare pressure will come about because the additional capacity will not stimulate business-purpose traffic, because this traffic is driven more by the performance of the economy then by cheap airfares.
And it will find it difficult to stimulate leisure traffic because that traffic is headed overseas.
Regional strategy
The only reprieve for fares will come if a large proportion of the additional Virgin capacity is headed for the regional market.
Growth in underlying demand for regional travel, generally, is much stronger than in interstate travel as a result of the strong performance of the mining sector and in particular Fly-In-Fly-Out traffic.
According to Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional economics, market level capacity grew at almost 20 per cent for the regional sector in January and that growth is set to continue in February.
While the regional aviation market as a whole is likely to be strong, pockets of that market are expected to be weak.
Regional leisure city pairs such as Sydney to Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Ballina are likely to be experiencing underlying demand growth that is much weaker than city pairs that are mining related, such as Perth to Karratha and Port Hedland, or Brisbane to Gladstone.
Capacity rationality
The rapid growth in Virgin capacity is not only bold from the perspective of the weak economic environment but also from the perspective of the highly unfavourable cost environment.
Jet fuel prices averaged $US134 per barrel in February, up almost $US13 from a year earlier and over $US50 from two years earlier.
Jet fuel consumption is highly linked to capacity so that growth in capacity of 16 per cent will invariably result in the growth in jet fuel consumption, as it relate to domestic services, in the order of 16 per cent.
This growth in consumption will put an enormous strain on Virgin's bottom line if Virgin can't steal additional revenue from Qantas.
From the perspective of higher jet fuel prices, growth in domestic capacity of 3 times the long run average growth rate is simply irrational.
While Virgin will have some fuel price protection from the hedging that it has in place, in an environment in which the jet fuel price continues to trend northward use of financial instruments such as options and swaps only delay the onset of higher fuel prices.
It's difficult to believe that capacity growth rates of around 16 per cent are sustainable, even for a relatively short period of time.
Because of the Qantas Group's strategy of preserving a 65 per cent share in the domestic market, this seemingly irrational capacity strategy of Virgin will also result in a seemingly irrational capacity plan of Qantas.
Capacity cycle
Capacity in domestic aviation has a very clear two or three-year cycle - capacity growth is very strong for two or three years and then is very weak for two or three years.
These cycles are brought about because of airline irrationality and the preoccupation with market share, which is good for passengers but bad for airlines.
The cycle usually starts with an airline pouring more capacity into the market. Competing airlines must follow to preserve market share.
The double capacity whammy places downward pressure on yields. Yields fall below unit variable cost, airline profitability suffers and then they withdraw capacity.
Yields then come up again and more capacity is poured back into the market.
A cycle of this type is typical of immature competition. If Qantas and Virgin are to get their profitability and share prices back on track, it's time for them to grow up.
Tony Webber was Qantas Group chief economist between 2004 and 2011. He is now managing director of Webber Quantitative Consulting and associate professor at the University of Sydney Business School.

Quote:for a good example in history, look to Cortez in the Spanish conquest of Mexico against the 1 million strong Aztec empire. After onshore a while, his men were growing uneasy and were talking of mutany to return home to their families in Spain via escape to Cuba. Cortez order the ships to be scuttled so his men had no choice but to push on with him as their only way home.
Quote:The Russians during WWII, particularly in defense of their homeland against German invasion, had strict policies and enforcement of deserters on a battlefield. Deployed in the rear of fighting units would be machine gunners who's only mission it was to enforce this policy, and only as a last resort, they would engage the actual enemy.
Quote: I think the lesson here is we become more commited to the fight when our options are limited. limiting one's options on purpose to aquire this state of mind is sometimes strategically wise for the greater cause.
Quote:9. TURN THE TABLES: THE COUNTERATTACK STRATEGYMoving first - initiating attack - will often put you at a disadvantage: You are exposing your strategy and limiting your options. Instead, discover the power holding back and letting the other side move first, giving you the flexability to counterattack from any angle. If your opponents are aggressive, bait them into a rash attack that will leave them in a weak position.
Quote:Yeah, I guess so, but part of my problem with it is that it focuses on the counter-attack as a strategy, rather than focusing on keeping the initiative. It assumes that your enemy isn't going to expect you to counter-attack (which is always the assumption) and also that you have the means to deliver your force concentration to the correct point at the correct time.
Quote:Instead, discover the power holding back and letting the other side move first, giving you the flexability to counterattack from any angle.
Quote: If your opponents are aggressive, bait them into a rash attack that will leave them in a weak position.
Quote:Is the battle of Canae an example of a counter-attack?
Quote:It's just, to me it seems more like an example of why an attacker should never develop unsupported salients and should, instead, always seek to turn an enemy's flank or side so that they don't have to fight on two fronts...
Quote: After all, Canae is an example of flank attack more than anything - I agree that the Romans attacked, but surely to claim that Hannibal's strategy was a 'counter-attack' rather than a novel method for taking pockets (ie. encirclement strategy) is a stretching the idea of counter-attack a little?
Quote: Or would you consider a flank attack to be a counter-attack? I guess it depends on definition to a degree...

The 30-Second Story of the San Francisco Giants
From a chat I did last week:
briangilespopsup (San Jose): Let's say the Giants win the World Series again. Three championships in four years means they will get a paragraph in the book of baseball, probably in the chapter on the post-steroid era. We know what the 30-second elevator story is on other teams who've won multiple championships in a small period of time, but how will that paragraph describe a Giants team that really wasn't dominant at anything?
In 2012, the Giants won 94 games, and so did the Braves. In 2010, the Giants won 92 and the Braves won 91. In between, the Giants won 86 and the Braves won 89. Over the course of those three seasons the Braves and Giants were pretty close to even offensively (with the Braves holding a slight edge) and pretty much identical defensively and pitching-wise (with the Giants holding a minuscule edge). Yet for all the symmetry, the Braves won one postseason game and the Giants won 22. Which is to say that, for baseball's World Series winners, almost every elevator story should probably be one of two things:
A few teams with active players might still hope to join this group. The Phillies, for instance, just need Brett Myers to added two-tenths of a win to his career total and create a bridge between Pat Burrell and Chase Utley. And there are a couple teams that would be on the list but for a season without any first-round pick.
Obviously, things could go wrong, and the Giants might end up at the low end of this list, or not on the list at all. Things could also go much righter, and PECOTA isn't generally known for its optimism.

Should the "Lonnie Stearns" in the third position of the Phillies trio be Lonnie "Skates" Smith?

You can't say all that in 30 seconds in an elevator. ;)

John Barr joined the Giants in 2007 as head of scouting. While Lincecum was drafted under his predecessor, Bumgarner, Posey, Wheeler, etc. are all Barr's. Both Lincecum and Posey were Golden Spikes award winners, so it's a bit much to credit the team for going after them, but Bumgarner and Wheeler are major credits to Barr's draft philosophy.

"Good team, got a little lucky" is indeed the highest compliment a team can get these days. Death to the Division Series.
Feb 27, 2013 08:58 AM
You made me more aware of the razor-thin differences between teams in MLB which is why we, the fans, love our voodoo rationales, upside down rally caps and totally fictional analyses of outcomes... Baseball has always been the home of fiction lovers because we can imagine and dream absurd outcomes for insane reasons and think we are making great sense. WARPS, and stats notwithstanding. And we keep coming back, unchanged.

What I don't understand is why some fans get offended if you ever intimate that part of their team's success was luck-related. Given how often many fans blame their team's failures on bad luck, you would think that they would be willing recognize the opposite side of the luck coin.

All championship-winning teams are both good and fortunate. Saying this about the Giants is just boilerplate.

"The Giants are like the Moneyball A's. They developed great, cheap pitching and got enough of an offense to win games."
Feb 27, 2013 16:26 PM
I'm not sure you could say the Giants didn't field well in 2012. Maybe not in the regular season, but, if my memory serves me correctly, in the last 10 or so playoff and series games, they only gave up something like one run that didn't score on a ball over the fence. You can't run down a dinger, but the Giants' defense strangled their opposition in the postseason last year.
Feb 27, 2013 21:34 PM
BP's own stats on this site show that the Giants were above average defensively during the regular season, ranking 13th in team defensive efficiency, moving up one notch to 12th once you adjust for their home ballpark effects. And yes you're right they performed at an elite level during the postseason which featured a healthy Sandoval and Scutaro at 2b.
Feb 28, 2013 00:31 AM
This "good not great but lucky" meme that surrounds much of the fan and pundit commentary about the 2010-2012 Giants is laughable. In one of the most competitive eras in baseball history the Giants, with basically the same exact pitching and coaching staffs + Posey have won Championships in 2 out of three years with an 86- win, largely Posey-less season sandwiched in between (gee the Giants sure were "lucky" that Scott Cousins veered left and plowed over their best player while he was a sitting duck). They went 22-9 over two postseasons against the best teams in baseball. What they did was remarkable, and the remarkable residue of design and a lot of roster and management continuity, not luck. Their performance hasn't really been matched a short period in the wild card era unless you count the Yankees, who operate with the luxury of a much higher payroll (is their large fan base and revenue stream "luck" moreso than the Giants reliance on other ways to win besides home runs?). The Cards and Sox have put up similar performances spread out over 4 years but not 3 like the Giants. Had Poseu not been injured in 2011 who is to say they wouldn't/couldn't have pulled off a trifecta? Maybe Giant critics should consider the possibility that the Giants have been unlucky to not advance 3 seasons in a row. When you repeatedly over course of years find gold at the trade deadline that other teams are missing out on (Burrell, Ross, Scutaro, Beltran) then its an organizational talent not a four leaf clover

What would you have said if the Giants had lost one of games 5, 6, or 7 in the NLCS last year? That management was incompetent for not putting together a team capable of advancing to the World Series? Or that the Giants faced a hot, veteran-laden team and didn't have enough of the bounces go their way?

Of course postseason series are small enough samples to involve a lot of luck . But it is also true that the Giants as a team ran two regular season gauntlets into their two championship seasons and won 86 during a third where they lost Posey. That's not being "lucky". And in toto they won 22 out of 31 postseason games during that span rather than just winning 4 out of 7. That's domination over a larger span. As a whole they were excellent not lucky. Which doesn't mean you can't cite to lucky moments along the way, but it does mean that attaching the lucky meme to their 2010-2012 run, as seems to be in vogue, is bogus. Because that run ain't no small sample size.

No one, least of all me, said the Giants weren't a good team. It takes more than luck to win that many games over a three-year period.

And I, in turn, never said that there was zero luck involved in the Giants championships, just that the growing overall meme that they were lucky was bogus. I freely admit the Reds series was extremely tight and the Bruce-Romo battle towards the end of game 5 in particular was epic and touch and go for the Giants. However, the Giants outscored the Cardinals 20-1 in the last three games of that series. They dominated, that wasn't lucky bounces. It used to be the case that coming back from those type of deficits, particularly playing stellar, smothering defense under that tension, was viewed as a team skill. It's now frequently cited as "luck" which is unfortunate.

I believe that a lot of people are having trouble accepting that the Giant offenses weren't built around high secondary averages like "Moneyball teams". That also clashes with previous notions of what it takes for the Giants to win, an image burnished by the Bonds/Kent era
