Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Irina Arkadina
Irina Arkadina (ihr-IHN-uh ahr-kah-DIH-nuh), an aging, famous Russian actress who is vain, egotistical, and selfish. Living only for public acclaim of her art, Irina is neither willing nor able to establish a warm human relationship with her lover, Boris Trigorin, or with her son, Constantine Treplieff. Her disregard for her son helps to drive him to self-destruction.
Constantine Treplieff
Constantine Treplieff (kohn-stahn-TIHN trehp-LYEHF), a struggling young writer, the son of Irina Arkadina. He is an extreme idealist, both in his love for Nina Zarietchnaya and in his art. Constantly seeking new forms in his writing, he ignores literary conventions and believes that life must be represented not as it is but as it ought to be. In a moment of despair over his work, he shoots a seagull (which symbolizes human aspiration) and then makes an unsuccessful attempt on his own life. Near the end of the play, deserted by Nina, misunderstood by his mother, and ignored by more successful literary men, he finds himself unable to believe in anything, and he commits suicide.
Boris Trigorin
Boris Trigorin (boh-RIHS trih-GOH-rihn), a successful author and Irina Arkadina's lover. Although his writing has...

Character Analysis
Eugene Sergeevich Dorn
Dorn is a doctor, like Chekhov himself, and as such is a familiar figure in the playwright's dramas. He is a rather world-weary man, seemingly indifferent to his calling. After years of practicing medicine, he is virtually penniless, having spent his life's earnings on foreign travel. As if resentful towards his profession, he seems almost unwilling any longer to attempt to help the sick, notably Sorin.
Like some men, Dorn in his life has had no trouble attracting the interest of the opposite sex, and in this fact he contrasts with Sorin who complains that he has had no luck at all with women. The doctor is ardently pursued by Pauline, Shamreyeff s wife, but he resists her efforts to get him to run off with her. He does not openly repel her love but instead waits for time to wear it away.
Curiously enough, only Dorn gets excited over Konstantine's work, first his play and then his fiction, about which he is most effusive in his praise. He shares Treplyov's belief that something like a literature of ''new forms'' is needed to sweep out the old.
(The entire section is 187 words.)
Daughter of Ilya and Pauline Shamreyeff, Masha (also called Maria Ilyinishna) is a young woman who assumes a melancholic demeanor, though it may be more fashionable than real. She dresses in mourning black, the outward reflection of her inner sorrow—or at least that is what she tells Medvedenko, the schoolmaster who dotes on her. She seems to luxuriate in his misery, however, and her posturing borders on the ridiculous.
Masha's problem is her unrequited love for Konstantine Treplyov, who seems utterly blind to her desire and considers her a pest. He is in love with Nina and has his own problems with unrequited love. Although Masha does not love Medvedenko, who is a rather bland and unimaginative fellow, she ends up marrying him. They have a child, towards whom she reveals not the slightest maternal interest. She is ill tempered and cold towards her well-meaning husband, as is her mother, Pauline, who has been privy to Masha's hopes for a love liaison with Treplyov. At the last, she can only hope that her dull husband will be assigned to a new district so that she might put her painful love for Konstantine behind her.
(The entire section is 195 words.)
Semyon Semyonovich Medvedenko
A rather unassuming and placid schoolmaster, Medvedenko diligently woos Masha, a woman whose passionate nature and eccentric manner simply seem puzzling to him. Because his own needs are so mundane and simple, he is unable to understand why she is so sad. As he observes, unlike him, she is hardly lacking in creature comforts. That her sorrow might spring from a despised love or some other nonmaterial cause simply escapes his understanding or sympathy.
Though she does not love or admire Medvedenko, Masha marries him, then behaves badly towards both him and their child. Medvedenko suffers her abuse without complaint, unwilling, perhaps, to risk the loss of her.
(The entire section is 108 words.)
Ilya Afanasevich Sharmreyeff
Ilya Shamreyeff, a retired army lieutenant, is Peter Sorin's irascible and tyrannical steward. As the inept Sorin complains, Ilya runs the estate, which, in truth, Sorin permits because rural life bores him. Peter is content to let Shamreyeff take charge, though the man is rather insolent and moody. At times he is also rude to Sorin's guests, especially when he feels put upon. He seems to resent the fact that he is a retainer and not their social equal.
Ilya is married to Pauline, and Masha is their daughter. He seldom seems to be in their company, busy as he is sorting out such matters as how the horses are to be used at any particular moment. He seems blissfully unaware of his wife's infatuation with the physician, Eugene Dorn, and indifferent towards his daughter, who complains that she is unable to talk to him. With her, he seems much more gruff and short-tempered than loving. He has, in fact, some of the insularity that is characteristic of many career military men, and he has clearly alienated both his wife and daughter.
In a few instances, Shamreyeff talks at length about the theater, recalling what he considers great moments in Russian stage history. His nostalgia for the low comedy that was part of the traditional theater offers a contrast with Treplyov's attack upon traditional works as cliche ridden and formulaic.
(The entire section is 230 words.)
Peter Nikolaevich Sorin
Peter Sorin, brother to Madame Arkadina, is a retired magistrate in his early sixties. He is also the host and owner of the country estate that is the play's setting.
Although easy-going and genial, Sorin constantly complains about the tedium of country living. He thinks of himself as a man of the town, miscast in his retirement role as rural squire. There is about him the smell of mortality, and in the course of the play he seems to wither away as his sense of boredom saps his energy. Towards the end of the play, he is confined to a wheel chair where he dozes and snores as life continues around him. Once an important man and the embodiment of authority, he can no longer curb the insubordination of his estate steward, Shamreyeff, or even of ordinary workmen. He has trouble with others as well, the physician Dorn, for example, who seems unwilling to heed his request for medicine. Towards him and other guests, Sorin seem pathetically deferential.
However, as a critic of Madame Arkadina's treatment of her son Konstantine, Sorin points up important character flaws in his sister, confirming, for example, the selfishness of which Treplyov accuses his mother, but she does not change one iota as a result of his criticism. He does love his nephew and provides him with a home and place to work, revealing a greater sense of concern for his welfare than Konstantine's mother has. Yet Sorin's fatherly love for his nephew is not powerful enough to stay the...
(The entire section is 261 words.)
Konstantine Gavrilovich Treplyov
Son to Madame Arkadina and nephew to Peter Sorin, Konstantine Treplyov (also known as Kostya) is an aspiring writer in his early twenties. Moody and often depressed, Treplyov has an antagonistic relationship with his mother. He is an unrelenting critic of the traditional theater, which he considers tired and moribund, while she, having made her successful career in that theater, defends it. It is she who interrupts the performance of his ''new forms'' play on Sorin's estate, mocking its special effects and enraging her son, a signal event that sets in motion the destructive recriminations that further erode the relationship of Konstantine and his mother.
Treplyov's play also manages to alienate Nina Zaryechny, who, although she acts in the play, neither likes it nor understands what it is all about. Although Treplyov loves her, she turns away from him, attracted to the novelist Boris Trigorin and sets out to become an actress. From jealousy and envy, Treplyov verbally attacks Trigorin as a coward and wants to challenge him to duel. He also tries to kill himself, though the effort is suspect because, although he is able to bring down a seagull with a rifle shot, he bungles at least one try at blowing his brains out with a pistol.
In the final part of the play, despite his growing success as a writer, Treplyov remains melancholy and alienated from the other characters. He becomes critical of his own work, observing that it is becoming as...
(The entire section is 292 words.)
Madame Treplyov
Madame Treplyov (also called Irina Nikolaevna Arkadina) is the sister of Peter Sorin and mother of Konstantine Treplyov. She is a very successful and once a strikingly beautiful actress, who, although in her mid forties, still looks much younger, a fact in which she takes great pride. Although a sentimental woman prone to effusive emotional moments, she is a poor parent, stingy with her money and totally disinclined to sacrifice anything for her son. She is, in fact, rather embarrassed around him, in large measure because his presence serves to remind her of her real age. Although she is capable of tender moments with him, there is a strong antagonism between them that may be interpreted as having Oedipal undercurrents. In some of their exchanges, recriminations fly back and forth between them, and from start to finish she remains more hostile than loving towards him. Her antagonism is a major reason for his attempts at suicide.
Madame Treplyov holds the writer Boris Trigorin, her lover, under her spell, and although he is drawn to Nina Zaryechny, he ends up treating her badly and returning to Irina, who at one point plays shamelessly with his emotions and loyalty. Irina's son despises Trigorin, both for his writing and his apparent lack of courage. Irina is not able to make peace between them, though she hardly seems to try very hard. Because she is so selfish and self-centered, she cannot understand her son, and is simply mystified by his attack on the...
(The entire section is 300 words.)
Boris Alexeevich Trigorin
Boris Trigorin, a successful novelist, is the traveling companion and lover of Irina Arkadina. His relationship with her and the acclaim accorded his art gnaw at Konstantine's innards. He holds the older man in contempt, as much from envy and jealousy as any really contemptible character flaws in Boris. The conflict between the two provides a good part of the play's tension.
Trigorin is actually a rather easy-going fellow. His success has made him neither arrogant nor aloof; thus, despite his wretched treatment of Nina, he remains rather likable as a character. His favorite activity at Sorin's estate is fishing in the ''magical'' lake, something that gives him peace and contentment.
Trigorin's fiction, realistic in nature, also rankles Konstantine, who is preaching a new style and mode in literature. Trigorin is open to new styles, and sees no reason why Treplyov's writing cannot coexist with his own. Konstantine is not so obliging, however, and seems bent on destroying both the man and his work. A central irony of the play is that Trigorin, without even trying, wins the adoration of Nina with whom Treplyov is hopelessly in love.

Other Characters
Pauline Andreevna
Ilya Shamreyeff's wife, Pauline is often found in the company of the physician, Eugene Dorn, with whom she may be carrying on an illicit love affair, though whether her passion for him is being requited or is merely expressed remains one of the play's mysteries. In any case, she is seeking fulfillment outside of her marriage. Dorn, who has always been popular with the opposite sex, seems noncommittal in their relationship, even bored by it. She, meanwhile, is well aware of the deadening effect that time is likely to have on her hopes and tries to push him into running off with her. He seems completely disinterested, however, worn down by his weary life as a physician. He is virtually penniless and no longer feels the stirring of passion, thus nothing really ever comes of their relationship.

Nina Mikhailovna Zaryechny
Nina Zaryechny is the pretty daughter of a wealthy landowner living on an estate near Sorin's estate. Her tyrannical father and stepmother disapprove of the ''bohemian'' guests of Sorin and try to prevent her involvement with them, but she is too much a free spirit to bend to their will. At first she seems to be in love with Konstantine, but after her...

Pearce - No pressure on me to select Beckham
3:48pm Monday 2nd July 2012 in Sport
Manager Stuart Pearce confirmed there was no political pressure on him to select David Beckham for his Team GB Olympic squad - and would not have accepted the job if there had been.
As expected, the omission of Beckham - a key figure in the London 2012 bid process and beyond - somewhat overshadowed the naming of the 18 players who will line up at the Games.
Until last week it was widely expected that Beckham's star quality and devotion to the Olympic cause would be enough to earn him one of the three over-age spots in Pearce's squad.
But the England Under-21 boss said his selections - Craig Bellamy, Ryan Giggs and Micah Richards - were made solely by him and exclusively for footballing reasons.
"From the offset, when I sat down with the (Football Association) chairman David Bernstein, some time before Christmas, he offered me the opportunity to pick the squad," he said.
"If at that stage he had said to me that certain individuals would have to be included I certainly wouldn't do that job. I don't know any manager worth their salt who would have.
"Right through this process I have had carte blanche to pick whatever players I regard as best.
"I do enough hours watching matches and I think I've done due diligence on all the players here.
"And in regard to ticket sales and merchandise: I'm a football man and I pick solely on football ability. I have to back my opinion and that's what I have done."
Much had been made of the reluctance of the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish associations to give their blessing to the unified GB team, but as it is no players have been selected from Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Instead the party comprises 13 Englishmen and five Wales internationals.
Again, Pearce said that tokenism never crossed his mind when selecting his squad.
He said: "I've got a list of names written down now, who I think ability-wise are good enough to do a job. I didn't pick on personality, I didn't pick on ticket sales and I certainly wasn't picking on nationality.
"To be honest I cannot tell you how many players there are from England and Wales. There 18 players are all Olympians now and that's the only way I view them."
Pearce also brushed aside suggestions the Welsh supporters would not get behind the team.
"Whenever I've supported a GB member as an individual, I've never looked at their individual nationality, I see them as British participants and I hope that's the case throughout our isles this summer," he added.
"I've been blown away by the mentality of the Welsh players in the squad and their desire to be part of it."
No captain has yet been appointed for the squad, with Pearce set to appoint one once the players meet for training.

David Marshall jewelry designs are colorful and full of both soft curves and hard angular edges. Marshall works out of London and specializes in diamond and colored gem-set platinum pieces, gearing his jewels towards those that have contemporary taste but still appreciate classic and traditional influences.
I've always preferred colorful gemstones to diamonds, and platinum to gold, so much of this collection is right up my alley. Certainly a beautiful way to show someone special in your life how much you care this Christmas.

I really don't care how they work, what they cost, whether they need recipes, or what their other attributes are... we need more. Doubtless 80 percent of the people on this board can come up with better ways of getting from point a to point b when it comes to item suggestions. But I'm fairly confident we need more true sight.
People are complaining about lots of stealth characters either because they do a lot of damage or because they have a really powerful long range shot or because they run really fast.
None of that is really the problem. The problem is that lots of teams find it difficult to keep vision on invisible characters. This makes them easy meat for these heros. Now I know some people are saying "well they're idiots and this serves them right for not placing wards etc." I actually agree with that to a point. But we still need more true sight items.
Obviously we don't want to make the feature useless. But some late game items with true sight would go a long way from what I can see to evening things out.
if they're expensive then that means that for the critical mid game invisible characters will be in the same position they're in now. But in the late game that feature might run into some problems as some high level characters have items that do not drop on death that none the less provide true sight.
In addition, for new characters we should have some that have true sight as an ability. Either in something that has to be activated, runs down, and has a cool down. Or as a persistent passive ability.
In General, let there be light.
Not sure if you know it, but level 3 puzzlebox ranged (?) minion has true sight. Gem on tank/wards/dust/possible skills is enough as it is, could use some more anti-stealth heroes though.
actually we dont need more true sight itens, it need be nerfed some fade times (0.5 fade time of vanish in scout is IMBA plus the low cost of mana + 25% ms). and we need COUNTER heros for them, like in DOTA we have Sladar ultimate, a real gondar is need (track is so good for counter inv/lothar users, the actual scout is a imba overpowered copy of gondar but not the real one), Spiritbreaker charge of darkness "still chase the invisible if cast before he "try" to vanish as trying to scape from death.
actually we lack heroes, not items.
Why keep whining about invisible units. There are 4 easily accessible items that can counter them. Buy one. Even some skills reveal units. Stop whining about invisible units if you don't want to spend gold on dust, which is dirt cheap.
If you play Watchtower, the "Roshan" of that level drops a gem that doesn't disappear on death.
At least when I killed him last it did
a truesight item that doesn't drop on death would make invis units useless. Wards still have 800 range in HoN, and dust has a 1400 cast radius. I haven't played all the heroes in HoN yet, but there are quite a few heroes that have abilities that counteract it in DotA as well.
I think the easy solution to this is dust, people tend to underuse it. Its is absurdly hard to hit-run with dust on you, and since most of the heroes are melee, they get into the aoe.
... Whining?... *sigh* whatever. How about allowing dust to stack like ruins so it's less of a burden on the inventory? The thing is that you may need to drop dust repeatedly in some matches which is a big handy cap considering that the invisible units generally don't have to do it.
That financial advantage along with an often higher k/d ratio tends to add up rather quickly.
True enough but as cheap as it is it can still be expensive if you have to keep using it. If the scout gets away with the dust on... which isn't hard because of his speed then you've wasted 100gp. And he'll just come back again and harass you. Dropping a ward works of course but it only lasts for two minutes which means if you stay in one place the whole time it will cost you 1000 to keep sight on one place during a 30 minute game (assuming you only keep the up for the last 20 minutes of the game as they're not really invisible for the first 10 or so). Now if you move to different lanes or push forward your attack as you take towers, then that will cost you more.
Practically speaking I see this costing quiet a bit more then this. But maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm admittedly a newbie here. I'm just saying it looks like the invisible units have an advantage. That might just be because we don't know what we're doing.
The sentry ward need a small increase in range since the lanes are so wide.
Hero balance is gonna come in a later stage though. Atm a too low mana cost and huge increase in ms is what's making scout so annoying atm.
Pestillence is an anti stealth unit. Don't forget the mummie's rocket and arachni's ulti.
Last edited by hideinlight; 07-09-2009 at 01:18 PM.
I am above average here in HoN and even when average players buy dust I am having a hard time. Sure i can get away most of the time, but it severely limits my potential to do any damage.
An early push or a midgame push vs a team with dust = QQ for stealth heroes, unless u r severely uberfarmed/leveled.
ps. not intended to sound cocky.
E8400, 4850, 4gig, windows xp.
decent rig + great engine = awesome performance!
The only change that would be nice is if tree's eyes had stealth detection again
Invis heroes already suck, let's make items to make them suck more.
It's not the fact that there are no item counters to the stealth heroes at the moment, people just don't use or are too greedy to spend their own gold trying to counter the hero(es) for the whole team.
As for them being a nuisance in games, the main problem is that right now there isn't a high enough hero selection and in the current pool there is select number, which I dare say are obviously stronger heroes that everyone picks; the game being in beta and all. Enevitably with the eventual increase in heroes will come a decrease in the use of the heroes you see over and over every game. Also just as hideinlight stated; there are many skill counters for invisible heroes now, people just don't use them as they would prefer to play currently imbalanced heroes instead of actually testing the game (not saying I don't do so myself as well). He named off a bunch and another I can think of off the top of my head is Thunderbringer's lightning spell.
Patience is a virtue, I can only assume the game is not near completion so you'll just have to rough it out and judge again furthur into it's development.
I posted one idea here, take a look over: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=1637
yes, lately I've been the only one buying them on my teams. It's been very frustrating. Even the supposedly leet dota players weren't buying them. They complained about getting ganked but it was the newbie (me) that kept shelling out cash to buy wards.
Is there a hero with persistent true sight? Or at least as persistent as the scout's invisibility? We have some units that can stay invisible pretty much all the time it would seem fair to have some units that could see invisible all the time.As for them being a nuisance in games, the main problem is that right now there isn't a high enough hero selection and in the current pool there is select number, which I dare say are obviously stronger heroes that everyone picks; the game being in beta and all.
Perhaps in high end games but in low end pubs they're devastating.
Your myopic inability to consider other playing conditions limits your perspective on the matter. You are without question on of the more informed and passionate players which is a huge asset. But the game must be fun at all levels... Not just yours.
The scout and similar units are easy to use in pubs especially against less experienced players... especially by less experienced players. If there were more variaty of stealth detection items these units might have uniform balance. What's more, I didn't say that these characters shouldn't be improved to be more competitive in your higher end games.
Glorify, you probably know how to fix these characters so they work better in your games. Assuming said improvements didn't make things even worse in the pubs I think you'd find that most people support you.
Why not contribute something and be constructive instead of cryptic and dismissive?
Bound eyes are very cheap, only 750. Put one on your most survivable character and it'll almost nullify invisible heroes (cloaked heroes are balanced to be nearly useless without cloak).
As i post before, add a third charge to reveal ward. And it should be ok

Fire rips through old warehouse in Binghamton
Posted at: 01/03/2013 1:50 PM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Fire officials say firefighters remain on the scene of a blaze that destroyed an old warehouse in Binghamton.
Capt. Gary O'Neill, Binghamton's acting fire chief, says firefighters are allowing the three-story brick complex to burn because it had collapsed during the blaze.
O'Neill says firefighters were called to the former furniture factory on the city's north side around 10:30 p.m. last night. Others were brought in as the blaze engulfed the abandoned three-building complex, which was believed to have been at least 100 years old.
O'Neill says the blaze has been contained.
No injuries have been reported. O'Neill says the cause of the fire is being investigated.

Public debut for baby rhino at annual stocktake
Monday 7 January 2013
ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is kicking off the New Year with its annual stocktake – the mammoth task of counting every single animal at the Zoo.
Home to more than 2,500 animals, keepers dusted off their clipboards to tot up each invertebrate, bird, fish, mammal, reptile, and amphibian.
Making his public debut at today's count is one of Whipsnade's newest arrivals – a greater one horned rhino baby. Born four weeks ago, and weighing a whopping nine stone (59kg) despite being less than three feet tall, the youngster stepped out in his paddock for the first time to be counted, along with mum Behan, dad Hugo, and the rest of the herd.
Also making their public debut at the count are one-week-old twin silvery marmosets.
The pair were born on New Year's Eve and ended a bumper year of babies for Whipsnade, which also included red panda twins Yin and Yang, lynx kitten triplets, Georgina the pygmy hippo, and Jengo the giraffe – all of which need including in the census.
The compulsory count is required as part of ZSL Whipsnade Zoo's zoo license, and all of the information is logged into the International Species Information System (ISIS), where it's used to manage the international breeding programmes for endangered animals.

This is one of the best children's "museums" in the country. Very much "hands on". Kids especially 4 to 8 seem to have the most fun, and watching them use what's there to play at being something extraordinary is a lot of fun

Great place to spend some time with young children, you can go for as little as an hour and have a great time! Plan on spending at least a couple hours. They have great classes and camps for the kids as well. Super, creative fun space. Well worth it. Beautiful outside gardens now too.
Fun and educational for kids of all ages, and even adults. The variety and quality of interactive and engrossing activities they have packed into this place is truly impressive. Our 3 year old daughter had a blast, and even after she was obviously beyond exhausted, she still didn't want to leave. Other reviews, and their website can give specific information... More

I took my 21 month old and a friend of mine brought her 17 month old. The two boys had fun checking out the fire truck, the boat at the campsite, the train table and so much more. The staff was helpful and pleasant. We will be back next summer - if not sooner!
It is a great childrens museum but I would recommend calling ahead and asking when the quietest hours are for taking a toddler. The older kids race through here and tend to knock the toddlers over. The price is reasonable.
We send people there from our hotel all of the time. Families love it. The kids always come back worn out from all the fun they've had!

Army Recruiter Killed in Arkansas, A Second Wounded
The mainstream media is all abuzz with the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller. But, approximately 24 hours after his murder, an Army recruiter was shot and killed in Arkansas, and a second one wounded. Wasn't that a tragedy and outrage, as well? Somehow, I don't think the recruiter killing will get the same press coverage or attention from the president as the story about Tiller.
Read from Michelle Malkin:
And now this: Shooting at military recruiting center; 1 dead, 1 wounded
"A shooting at an Arkansas Army recruiting center has left one recruiter dead and one wounded. Pray for the families, please:
'One Army recruiter was killed Monday and a second was wounded in a shooting at a recruiting office, and a suspect was arrested, police said.
Police Lt. Terry Hastings said the recruiter was shot when a man in a black SUV opened fire on the office in west Little Rock at about 10:30 a.m.
The vehicle was stopped on Interstate 630 a short time later and a suspect was taken into custody. Hastings said the suspect pulled over and surrendered without incident.
Police said they found an assault rifle in the vehicle.
Hastings said he did not know whether the recruiting office was specifically targeted or was randomly chosen.'
I wonder if the Justice Department will send marshals to beef up protection at recruiting centers — especially given the past targeting of military centers on campuses and elsewhere across the country.
Too early to say anything about suspect, motives, etc. But these facts are worth bearing in mind:
Flashback: Special report: Tracing the Left's escalating war on military recruiters
Flashback: The continuing war on recruiters that the Left doesn't want to talk about
Flashback: Document drop: Unclassified memo warns military personnel of anti-war threats to recruiters, Army installations/facilities
Flashback: Vandals strike at Berkeley Marine recruiting center again
Flashback: Explosion at Times Square recruiting station; Update: Bloomberg blasts the blast; Update: Security video released; Update: House Dems received letters, photo of recruitment center; Fox reports maybe more than 8 received letters; AP says manifesto was anti-Iraq war screed, "Happy New Year, We did it;" Newsday: At least 10 got the package
President Obama issued a statement yesterday after Tiller's murder: 'However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.'
I hope he will be just as vociferous in condemning heinous acts of violence against our military recruiters."
Don't hold your breath, Michelle.

Oh, you'll have a field day with this one!
The man arrested in this shooting is one Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a 24 yr old recent convert to Islam, and initial reports say the killer had "political and religious motives". He's been charged with first degree murder and 15 counts of engaging in a terrorist act (shooting at a occupied building).
And if I had even ONCE suggested that military recruiters are murderers, I'd probably feel some small measure of complicity.
But I'm glad the Religious Right think they've found their bright shiny object to divert everybody's attention away from Kansas. - June 1, 2009 at 10:15 PM
- Debra Moore said...
Actually, my intention was not to divert attention away from the Tiller killing, just to show that the killing of the Army recruiter will not be considered worthy of much press coverage, when, it fact, it should be just as important as the news about Tiller.
It seems to me that you are awfully defensive about Tiller. Do you really see him as some kind of hero?
Diogenes, why are you ALWAYS so full of rage about everything? Your side won. You should be on cloud nine.
I've heard that liberals are never happy. You are making that point. - June 1, 2009 at 10:34 PM
- Diogenes said...
Nobody's side "won" when it comes to murder.
As for Tiller being a hero of any kind, no, I don't think so. Honestly, I had never even heard of Tiller until I read the sliming he received on this blog.
I think the rightwing evangelical movement, teaming with the Karl Rovian tactics of the Bush and Cheney-led Republican Party, has done a huge disservice to the vast majority of Americans. Simply winning the 2008 presidential election hasn't undone the harm those guys inflicted for eight years. And allowing rightwingnut bloggers to promote, unchallenged, sainthood for Bush/Cheney/Rove won't help undo their mischief.
As for religion, I see no good coming out of any attempt to demonize all things Muslim. A religious war -- especially a religious war with so many extremists on both sides -- cannot serve humanity well. - June 1, 2009 at 11:07 PM
Debra: first thing I thought of when I found to the story, I wonder if Huffpo is running with this story to condemn themselves?
Since the left and Hollywood indorses and promotes violence against our military and specifically recruiters, the left is obviously to blame! - June 2, 2009 at 6:24 AM
- Diogenes said...
Actually, HuffPo did cover the recruiter's murder. That's just another indication that the two situations are not equivalent. HuffPo covered it right away (that's the first thing that popped up when I Googled it) whereas Operation Rescue pulled down their website, rather than have too many people see the postings that Scott Roeder had made on its site.
We shouldn't get into a pissing contest over which murder meant more. Both were tragedies. And conservatives weren't any more responsible for Tiller's murder than liberals were responsible for the murder of the Army recruiter.
But the extremists who labelled Tiller as The Baby Killer, and those that compare military recruiters to baby killers DO bear some small measure of responsibility for the killings. No, they didn't pull the triggers... but they did create a climate that spawned the murderers. - June 2, 2009 at 12:34 PM

Editor's Picks: What We Like
BackBy CertMag Editor
Security: Now in Digital and Analog
Simple security measures can often be the most powerful deterrent. Just by locking your car door, you discourage all but the most persistent car thieves. Now, as more and more people join the notebook nation, those valuable laptops are increasingly a prime target for shady characters. Two products offer solutions — one decidedly retro and the other a little more progressive.
The Kensington MicroSaver Keyed Notebook Lock is an easy-to-use portable lock that secures your notebook to a table, desk or other relatively immovable object. Think a bike lock for your laptop. So now while you're at the coffee shop, you can step away to get a refill of your double-no-whip mocha Frappuccino without having to worry about your laptop getting pinched. And even if someone did try to pull a snatch-and-run by cutting the cable or otherwise removing the device, they'd be subject to the sibilant tones of the MicroSaver's alarm, which can be heard up to 50 feet away.
Meanwhile, the Silex USB fingerprint reader takes a cue from the Pentagon and uses biometric information to secure your computer's sensitive data. Instead of preventing someone from physically taking your computer, it will prohibit that individual from using it and accessing your personal files. Just plug the fingerprint reader into a USB port and you won't have to worry.
Monopoly Mania: Now Online
With the world as its stage and individuals of various races and tongues as its players, Monopoly, the 74-year-old board game by Hasbro, dared to venture online this fall.
While the basic tenets of the game remain unchanged for the most part — players strive to purchase "properties" and collect rent from their competitors — the most noticeable upgrade in the free online version is the incorporation of Google MapsStreet View technology. What this means is that a player can essentially "own" any street in any part of the globe — well, virtually, anyway. Players can also get creative when it comes to customizing their purchased properties, constructing anything from houses to castles on their lots. with
Let the games begin!
Facebook Gets Chatty
In a move that brings it one step closer to becoming the go-to source for all our online social needs, Facebook plans to unveil a new voice chat function sometime in the next few weeks, according to a CNN.com article. The service will allow anybody with a Facebook account to have high-quality, real-time audio conversations with friends around the world.
The capability is being developed by — and will be run by — a third party, so users first would be required to download a plug-in. But "once installed, the service works almost seamlessly with Facebook, and is intended for everything from one-to-one chat to large group discussions," according to CNN.
The article pointed out that the functionality has the potential to revolutionize other Facebook applications, particularly games, by allowing for an audio component. Facebook already offers users a written chat function akin to instant messaging, as well as the standard posting option for friends' personal pages and news feed status updates.

How Children's Books Come (And the Job of the Writer)
What can I say?
When I was 2 — long, long ago, back in the time of caves, when dinosaurs ruled the earth and parents left children in cars — my sister (a fresh plumpy newborn) and I were left in the back of our Humber car while our parents popped out — just for a second.
When they left us, I was sitting on the back seat, and my sister was in the carrycot.
When they came back, I was in the carrycot and my sister was on the floor.
So it was only a matter of time before I took further revenge on my three little sisters . . . and wrote a shocking exposé.
It's called How To Be A Baby By Me The Big Sister.
Actually, when I say I wrote it — that's not strictly true. I started out wri…
