1.5GHz quad core Huawei processor | Up to 14 hours 30 minutes talk time | 8MP | 4.7" | Android Jelly Bean 4.2 |
For people who want form as well as function in their smartphone, the Huawei Ascend P6 is slender, beautiful and incredibly strong. Built with an aluminium alloy frame and back cover and a Gorilla Glass 2 screen, the Ascend P6 manages to be tough even though it's the slimmest smartphone in the world.
The super-slim body contains an impressive 2,000mAh battery that gives the Huawei Ascend P6 up to 315 hours of standby time or 14.5 hours of talk time. It's powered by Huawei's own 1.5GHz quad core processor and the latest Android 4.2 Jelly. The 4.7" HD screen is beautifully clear with a 720p resolution giving a pixel density of 312 pixels per inch. And the screen is perfect for viewing the photos you take with the 8MP rear camera or 5MP front camera. You'll get 8GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded with a microSD card up to 32GB.
At just 6.18mm thick, the Huawei Ascend P6 is far more than just the thinnest smartphone you've ever seen - it is stunning too. Wrapped in a polished aluminium alloy frame, with a back finished in a brushed aluminium alloy, it'll catch anyone's eye instantly. The combined effect is a smartphone that both fits and feels fabulous in your hand. Don't forget, the P6 is designed to be as resilient as it is beautiful. The 4.7" HD screen is encased in second generation Corning Gorilla Glass, whilst the rear has an anti-scratch coating.
The Ascend P6 has a camera on the front and the back, and both are pretty special. The 8MP rear camera has a large 2.0 aperture, designed to capture more light, giving you bright clear photos even in dim conditions. Like your close ups? The sensor is built to allow you to focus just a few centimetres from objects. Looking to shoot video? You can shoot and playback in 1080p HD whenever you want. If you're an avid social networker and want to take the best pictures of yourself and your friends, the 5MP front facing camera on the P6 is just what you need. It will make for great video calls too.
The Ascend P6 comes with Huawei's latest User Interface which is designed to work with Android Jelly Bean, the software powering the phone. Called 'Emotion UI', it features innovations like the 'Me Widget', which collects your friends, music player, photos, weather and local time all into one useful screen. There're also motion controls such as turning over your phone to mute the ringer, and over hundred themes to change the look of your P6 to whatever suits you.
With a huge 2,000mAh battery packed into its thin body, the Huawei Ascend P6 is designed to last and last. Huawei is a world leader in the development of mobile phone devices and network technology and used its expertise to optimise the way the P6 works with the networks, making batteries last as much as 30% longer than competitors'. There's also the advanced battery Power Manager app, which lets you choose different power plans just like on a laptop, and even check to see how much battery time you've got left for different tasks, such as whether you've enough power left to watch that movie.

It can be compared across devices – the higher the ppi, the sharper the screen is, making it better for high resolution content and reading. |

We run BLN
Normally I would do a race report just about the races I do, but this weekend was so flippin' amazing that I may have to cover a bit more than usual.
Having run the Berlin Marathon in September last year I wasn't over the moon when the crew began talking about the Berlin Half for a crew outing. I'd rather go somewhere new. But, I could feel the vibe building, back in October, so I signed up and began to organise my trip. Basically, I ended up reserving a shared room with three other girls I had never met (Jackie, Lissy, Sophie), two of whom run with Run Dem Crew and one who lives in another city. Madness had taken hold.

I've been trying to teach myself to have lucid dreams but no luck so far... Anyone else tried it?
I've been trying to teach myself to have lucid dreams but no luck so far... Anyone else tried it?
My story - viewtopic.php?f=28&t=46984
One of the girls I hang out with has been talking about it.. I only pretended to be listening
I'll ask her
Yeah; have any specific questions?
I have an odd condition called sleep paralysis which puts me in a state of sleep, except for the actual sleeping part. So basically I'm almost completely paralyzed (like in REM sleep) except I can blink and breathe, but I can see around me and also hallucinate and hear things. Whenever I manage to get back to sleep properly after I experience this, I always end up in a lucid dream. It's great, I'll usually be in a nearby location, i.e. my street, but know perfectly well that I'm paralyzed in bed. I have complete control and there are plenty of inception like projections around to, well, do what I please with. Ahem. I have an almost 100% track record of getting into this state by waking up early (and still tired,) engaging my brain (maybe by watching an hours worth of whatever I fancy) and then trying to get back to sleep. So yeah, sleep deprivation does it.
Maybe try the mask talked about in this thread: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact...p=684558&hilit
i had this type of dream once as a kid. i was at hospital and there was ice on the floor, i know it doesn't make sense but dreams rarely do. i had my skates on and i was skating all the while trying to tell my buddy that it all wasn't real. funny how it never recurred, this was the only time.
if i had a lucid dream now it would have a ''kill all nw 1's'' feel to it.
Many years ago I had a dream that I was being chased by 'evil strangers'; they chased me around the streets near my home and would not give up.
Somehow I realised that I was dreaming and decided to just fly instead of run. I've been able to fly in my dreams ever since, sometimes I'm even able to wake enough to check my bedside clock and fall back to sleep and straight back into the dream.
I get dreams that I'm able to control (and remember) every few months; curiously I seem to always wake up in the morning feeling incredibly refreshed and in a thoroughly good mood.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

FREE // STEINER AUDITORIUM // Part of First Thursday programming Booker Wright was an African American restaurant owner who also served double-duty as a waiter in a "whites-only" restaurant in Mississippi in the 1960s. He became an unlikely activist for the Civil Rights movement when he appeared on a network TV documentary reporting on the changing times in his small town. Exploring the myth of who he was an dhis experience serving the white community, Booker's appearance set off a chain of events that eventually led to his murder. Released in 2012, Booker's Place: A Mississippi Story follows director Raymond De Felitta (City Island), whose father directed the original 1966 documentary, as he journeys through past and present-day Mississippi with Booker's granddaughter, searching for details around Booker's courageous life and shocking murder, while also exploring the impact the film had not only on the local community but also on Raymond's father.

"We fell in love with the Creekside Inn when finding it online, and booked this as the venue for our wedding, allowing 8 other family members to stay at the inn. Mark and Tammy were amazing, always helpful, and we had such a great time. The food was great, the grounds were beautiful in November, and having the parlor area to sit and gather around a fire and chat was perfect to let our families share stories. The rooms are so beautiful, and the service to make our stay great exceeded all our expectations. I would highly recommend a stay at the Creekside Inn, and we will be travelling back to the Inn for our 1st anniversary!"

Canvassing for Consensus
Once satisfied that industry representatives had no major objections to the standard, UL began a separate process to obtain acceptance from the American National Standards Institute that UL 1482 was a "na-
tionally recognized consensus standard." ANSI aims to be a central clearinghouse and general overseer of nongovernment standards-writers. However, the organization has limited resources, no technical staff, and no information collection system. It depends on the voluntary cooperation of standards-writers. Although UL routinely submits its published standards to ANSI for such approval, the gesture is largely a matter of courtesy without any practical significance for the recognition or use of UL standards.[18]
There are three separate procedures for gaining ANSI approval. UL uses the one subject to the most criticism: the canvass process.[19] Under this procedure, UL developed (and ANSI reviewed and approved) a "canvass list" of parties thought to be interested in reviewing the woodstove standard. A professor at Auburn University who had conducted research on woodstoves for the CPSC was the only individual on a list of twenty-six. The rest represented organizations ranging from the Alliance of American Insurers to UL's Consumer Advisory Council and the National Safety Council. The standard was distributed to those on the list with a request for comments and an affirmative or negative vote. ANSI also solicited "public review comments" through a notice in its newsletter, Standards Action .
Under ANSI's canvass method, public comments and a compilation of canvass votes are submitted to ANSI's Board of Standards Review (BSR), whose job is to certify "consensus." They do so mainly by examining any "unresolved negatives" that emerge from the process. In the terminology of the BSR, UL 1482 was a "clean case." It was submitted to ANSI with no "unresolved negatives." No comments were received from the general public during ANSI's own comment period. On the basis of that information, the BSR approved UL 1482 without discussion on January 28, 1981.
What appeared to be a "clean case" to the BSR was not nearly so straightforward for UL. The canvass process took UL over twenty months—longer than it took from official proposal to publication of the standard—and it generated numerous negative comments along the way. Negative ballots were cast (at least initially) by members of five organizations on the canvass list, including NFPA, the National Bureau of Standards, the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Others voted affirmatively but registered negative comments.
The objections were to the scope and severity of the standard. Rep-
resentatives from NFPA and NBS objected to the lack of any provisions concerning the tendency of stoves to produce creosote.[20] Representatives from ICBO and ASHRAE objected to the stringency of various test methods. The former considered an aspect of the fire tests too weak, while the latter argued that the impact test for glazing was unreasonably stringent.[21]
UL responded to each party that cast a negative vote, seeking to elicit a vote in favor. The Standards Department at UL is charged with this task. The department, with almost fifty employees, acts as an intermediary between commenters and UL engineers. The department aims to defuse opposition and gain acceptance for UL's standards by informing commenters of the reasons for the provision in question and, if this fails, by trying to convince them that improvements can be made in the future. Commenters often agree to vote in favor of a standard on the assurance of the Standards Department that the issue will be addressed in the future. This tactic changed all of the votes against UL 1482 but that of the International Conference of Building Officials. UL had to request a six-month extension from ANSI in order to bring ICBO around.
Several of the objections to UL 1482 were dismissed by UL in a rather perfunctory fashion. Those who objected to the lack of provisions governing creosote formation were told that ongoing research in the scientific community was expected to provide a data base upon which a future test method might be developed. This response appears less than forthright given the events preceding the canvass. There, in response to questions about how (and whether) to deal with creosote formation in chimneys, the matter was dropped because, according to UL's report of the meeting with industry representatives, "the discussion indicated that it was primarily an installation consideration and not a product construction or performance requirement for inclusion within the body of UL 1482." An internal UL memo dated March 19, 1985, indicates that UL is still "not in a position to include any creosote tests."[22] And a UL engineer confirms that without a request and financial support from industry, there are no plans to develop such a test.
Other objections to UL 1482 were also "resolved" in an unresponsive manner. A building code official objected that the glazing impact test would "increase the cost of glass doors without producing a safer product." UL's response: the test was intended "to provide the assembly with impact conditions under various modes." UL offered no evidence that the product would actually be safer as a result.

Any news on when the turbo cards will be available? Is a 256 GB turbo version being considered?
Any news on when the turbo cards will be available? Is a 256 GB turbo version being considered?
Any word on when the 512GB TURBO SSDs will be available? I really, really need these for my high-speed shooting. I am currently shooting 90% of my footage at 12:1 or 10:1 compression.
Looking forward to those 32gb cards myself.
I thought Jarred gave an estimate of delivery after NAB, would be nice to get an update . . .
While as I said in other threads as well, I can't wait for the 512GB turbo SSD's, as even so I moved entirely to the 256GB SSD's, we are chowing them up like candy on the set of Rape of a Beauty, as we do lots of 120fps 5k for the Glamour Fashion and Beauty stuff, plus using HDRx for other scenes,
and recording 5:1 and 3:1 at 24fps, and we are still in Pre-Production, imagine what will happen in Principal Photography, also we are shooting in two Languages, so Double takes on everything.
My solution for now?
Easy, have the rear SSD and use 2 256GB SSD's... ;)
Of course this will double once we get the 512's... ;)
Got my first 512 turbo ordered and pending shipment. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the great work, RED team.

News flash: most of the time, when a boat sinks the owner has done something really, really stupid. Sure, some boats go down after being caught in a storm or because of mechanical failure, but most sinkings occur with the boat tied up "safely" at the dock.
You want to make sure your boat doesn't fall victim to these brainless blunders? Of course you do! So remember:
#1. Never tie a boat up alongside a pier in such a way that any part of the boat can drift under the pier. If it does so as the tide is rising, the boat may become trapped in place. As the water grows higher and higher the boat can't rise with it – you can guess the results.
#2. Don't depend on bilge pumps for long-term drainage. If your boat doesn't have a self-bailing deck, it shouldn't be left in the water un-tended, period. And if it does have a self-bailing deck, you need to keep the scuppers clean and make sure they don't become clogged with leaves, sticks, fish scales, and other detritis. Bilge pumps have one fatal flaw, in that they require electricity. Whether water enters your boat from the rain or from a leak, those pumps might keep it afloat for a matter of hours, but sooner or later the batteries will die.
#3. Always check and double-check to make sure you put in the drain plug… need we say more?!
Added extra bonehead boat-sinking blunders: stepping onto a through-hull fitting; yes, they can and do break. Installing a bilge pump, livewell outlet, or fishbox drain hose without adding an anti-siphon loop that goes well above the waterline; ever heard of back-flow? Leaving a livewell on overnight; if any fish or shrimp die and get sucked into the drain they can seriously restrict the flow… soon the well will be overflowing into the cockpit. Backing into a heavy sea in a boat with a cut-out transom; this one accounts for a LOT of sinkings! And the old classic: anchoring from the stern – ALWAYS keep the pointy end of the boat towards the waves!

The follow-up to the A35 is still all about speed
The NEX-F3 isn't the only new piece of kit in the Sony arsenal tonight. Following their familiar naming structure, Sony is following up the A35 with the new A37.
Like all of the translucent mirror cameras before it, the A37 is big on speed. If you're in Tele-Zoom High Speed Shooting Mode (which applies a 1.4x crop factor to the already cropped image) you can get up to 7 fps with phase detection AF engaged. It's not quite the 12 fps you can squeeze out of the A77, but it's still pretty good.
The AF system has gotten a bit of a revamp. It now has 15 total AF points, three of which are cross-type. Because of the fixed mirror, you have access to the continuous AF system even in video mode.
EVF is in full effect for the A37. It uses the 1440K dot resolution Tru-Finder with 100% field of view, which is nice to have at a camera at this level. If you'd rather use live view, you can do so from the 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD screen that tilts.
Like the NEX-F3, the A37 has Pixel Super Resolution Technology, so you can use their Clear Image Zoom to augment your lens's focal length while minimizing loss of quality in JPEG mode. You can also use the Auto Portrait Framing feature, which automatically crops portraits according to the "rule of thirds" and other compositional algorithms. As I said before, it works better if you take bad pictures to begin with, but it can be nice in a pinch. The camera also saves the original image, though, so there's no harm in messing with it.
The 16.1-megapixel Exmor APC-C CMOS sensor should again feel familiar, but the new BIONZ processor stretches the ISO range from 100-16000. Unlike the NEX bodies, the A37 has SteadyShot built right in at the sensor level, which Sony claims will give you four stops of hand-holdability.
To complement the new body, Sony also has a new 18-135 F/3.5-5.6 tele-zoom. Its quiet AF is suitable for video and it has Direct Manual Focus in case you like to be in control.
The A37 is coming in June and it will be available as part of a kit with the 18-55mm kit lens for $600. The new 18-135mm lens will be available for $500 on its own, or as part of an $800 kit with the A37.
We'll have full tests of the A37 eventually, but for now you can check out the sample image gallery shot with pre-production models in New York City.

Signature Scent
I have a friend who lives for bubble baths. I think she was hooked from her first bottle of Mr. Bubble as a kid. Luckily, GiftTree has a more age appropriate version. The Luxury Bath Foam is a kit that permit the user to create her very own signature scent bath foam. The packaging is gorgous. I love the bowl and mother-of-pearl spoon.

NEW YORK - President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have pulled their punches a bit with comedic jabs in New York at a Catholic fundraiser for needy children.
Both spoke at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, an annual white-tie gala that draws major political leaders and is a required stop for presidential candidates.
Romney mocked his own wealth, saying it gave him and his wife the chance to dress as they do around the house. He also predicted there would be media bias in coverage of his appearance and would be reflected in Friday headlines reading "Romney dines with rich people." Obama followed, noting that he gone shopping at some stores in Midtown. He quipped that Gov. Romney" went shopping for some stores in Midtown."
Obama joked that he done much better in the second presidential debate because he got a good nap in the first debate.
The mild-mannered exchanges followed a day of sharp barbs by the candidates' surrogates. And Romney's son Tagg said in an interview that he was tempted to "take a swing" at Obama when the Democrat questions the GOP candidate's honesty.
On the celebrity front, Obama picked up the endorsement of rock star Bruce Springsteen, who also backed the Democrat in 2008 and Thursday campaigned for him in Ohio with former President Bill Clinton.

On a TD attempting catch in the 4th qtr Charlie Martin suffered a bruised lung on Sunday and didn't make the flight back to Seattle with the team.
Pete Carroll just told Brock and Salk that on 710 ESPN Seattle.
Pete Carroll "Charlie Martin has a bruised lung. He didn't fly back with us.Its serious. He'll be out a couple weeks" #Seahawks
— Q Smith (@NWSBQ) September 10, 2012
Martin was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He played college football at West Texas A&M.
He appeared in all four preseason games with the team in 2009, catching seven passes for 88 yards.
He then bounced between the practice squads of the Panthers and the Jaguars in 2010/11.
In 2012 he was signed as a free agent by Seattle on January 5.
Martin appeared in all four preseason games in 2012, catching one pass for a touchdown on August 23 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Our editor Q had this to say...
I hope TATE is back. Either Ricardo Lockette gets call, OR #Seahawks could be on the phone w/ Deon Butler. Thoughts on who replaces Martin?

On Monday, a state trial judge found there was enough evidence to justify a hearing about Mr. Awkal's sanity but that he could not hold one immediately because witnesses were not available. The Ohio Supreme Court should have granted a stay of execution, which it wrongly denied shortly before the governor stepped in because of the trial court's finding.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/opini ... D88C73E601
So the thinking was that since it was a problem to assemble witnesses we ought to just kill a human being because otherwise it is inconvenient or something. Is that it?

Ted Sorensen on Abraham Lincoln: A Man of His Words
Kennedy advisor Ted Sorensen finds that of all the U.S. presidents, Lincoln had the best speechwriter—himself
- By Theodore C. Sorensen
- Smithsonian magazine, October 2008, Subscribe
Abraham Lincoln, the greatest American president, was also in my view the best of all presidential speechwriters. As a youngster in Lincoln, Nebraska, I stood before the statue of the president gracing the west side of the towering state capitol and soaked up the words of his Gettysburg Address, inscribed on a granite slab behind the statue.
Two decades later, in January 1961, President-elect John F. Kennedy asked me to study those words again, in preparing to help him write his inaugural address. He also asked me to read all previous 20th-century inaugural addresses. I did not learn much from those speeches (except for FDR's first inaugural), but I learned a great deal from Lincoln's ten sentences.
Now, 47 years later, as another tall, skinny, oratorically impressive Illinois lawyer is invoking Lincoln as he pursues his own candidacy for president, and with Lincoln's bicentennial underway (he turns 200 February 12, 2009), I want to acknowledge my debt.
Lincoln was a superb writer. Like Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt, but few if any other presidents, he could have been a successful writer wholly apart from his political career. He needed no White House speechwriter, as that post is understood today. He wrote his major speeches out by hand, as he did his eloquent letters and other documents. Sometimes he read his draft speeches aloud to others, including members of his cabinet and his two principal secretaries, John Hay and John Nicolay, and he occasionally received suggestions, particularly at the start of his administration, from his onetime rival for the presidency, Secretary of State William Seward. On the first occasion on which Seward offered a major contribution—Lincoln's first inaugural—the president demonstrated clearly that he was the better speechwriter. Seward's idea was worthy, principally a change in the ending, making it softer, more conciliatory, invoking shared memories. But his half-completed proposed wording, often cited by historians, was pedestrian: "The mystic chords which proceeding from so many battle fields and so many patriot graves pass through all the hearts . . . in this broad continent of ours will yet again harmonize in their ancient music when breathed upon by the guardian angel of the nation."
Lincoln graciously took and read Seward's suggested ending, but, with the magic of his own pen, turned it into his moving appeal to "the mystic chords of memory," which, "stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
Lincoln was a better speechwriter than speaker. Normally, the success of a speech depends in considerable part on the speaker's voice and presence. The best speeches of John F. Kennedy benefited from his platform presence, his poise, personality, good looks and strong voice. William Jennings Bryan moved audiences not only with the extravagance of his language, but also with the skill of his movements and gestures, the strength of his voice and appearance. Democratic Party leaders not attending the 1896 National Convention at which Bryan delivered his "Cross of Gold" speech, and thus not carried away by the power of his presence, later could not understand his nomination on the basis of what they merely read. Franklin Roosevelt's speeches, for those who were not present for his performance, were merely cold words on a page with substantially less effect than they had for those who were present to hear them.
But Lincoln's words, heard by comparatively few, by themselves carried power across time and around the world. I may have been more moved by his remarks at the Gettysburg cemetery when I read them behind his statue at the state capitol in Lincoln in 1939 than were some of those straining to hear them on the outskirts of the audience at Gettysburg in 1863. The Massachusetts statesman Edward Everett, with his two-hour speech filled with classical allusions, had been the designated orator of the day. The president was up and quickly down with his dedicatory remarks in a few short minutes. Some newspapers reported: "The President also spoke."
Lincoln's voice, reportedly high, was not as strong as Bryan's, nor were his looks as appealing as Kennedy's. (Lincoln himself referred to his "poor, lean, lank face.") His reading was not electronically amplified nor facilitated by a teleprompter, which today almost every president uses to conceal his dependence on a prepared text. (Why? Would we have more confidence in a surgeon or a plumber who operated without referring to his manual? Do we expect our presidents to memorize or improvise their most important speeches?) Lincoln also spoke with a Midwestern inflection that—in those days, before mass media created a homogenized national audience and accent—was not the way folks talked in Boston or New York, making him difficult for some audiences to understand.
But Lincoln's success as an orator stemmed not from his voice, demeanor or delivery, or even his presence, but from his words and his ideas. He put into powerful language the nub of the matter in the controversy over slavery and secession in his own time, and the core meaning for all time of this nation itself as "this last best hope of earth." Such great and moving subjects produce many more great and moving speeches than discussions of tax cuts and tariffs.

This was a brilliant article, but for decades we have come to expect no less from the wordsmithing abilities of Sorenson. His analysis of the Presidential speech compositions through-the-ages is impressive. I also admire the abilities of the great Richard Goodwin - his 'WORK OF OUR HANDS' speech (of RFK) is a string-of-pearls; Although my political views differ from hers, the graceful writing style of Peggy Noonan is also beautiful and noteworthy. I'm afraid most of the rest of the Presidential speech scripts - though vibrant they may have been at the time of their delivery - today, do not stand well. They read (and recordings / when available)as mostly hollow details, rare or dim lights, boring stats and just simply typing.

President Lincoln had the combined gifts of perspicacity and perspicuity. Add to this his extensive knowledge, in depth wisdom (mostly gained by his sufferings), good old fashion common sense, and a real sense of humor, is what made him a very unique speaker and president in our American experience. The pathos and gravity of Civil War surrounding his Presidency completed the portrait of a life never to be repeated.

I would have 2 say that Abraham Lincoln ROCKS!! And he should of never been assassinated cause he would of done a lot more.

Uhhh, Yobee, is it? If you really respect Mr. Lincoln and his words, then honor them. How about we begin with these,
"With malice toward none, with charity for all."
To do that Yobee, you are going to have to speak with a little more respect
A) about the dead and B) for your former leaders....especially if you stand proudly as a citizen of these United States.
In doing this, we honor Mr Lincoln AND his wordsmith legacy. By showing it the respect it deserves.

Mentioning Reagan in the same breath as Lincoln is enough to cause one to shudder, with the exception of perhaps comparing them as utter opposites.
Lincoln was a largely self-taught intellectual, experience wise, humble, thoughtful and compassionate.
Reagan was not.
Sorensen is writing about Lincoln's mastery of writing and communication, not his ability to read someone else's thoughts from a teleprompter. It's kind of the point of the entire article.
Posted by Yobee Ziskey on June 21,2009 | 06:11 PM
Thank you, Mr. Sorensen. Having been born almost 100 years too late to have known Mr. Lincoln personally, I have had only his writings with which to get to know his inner thoughts and beliefs. Lincoln's actions spoke volumes, but his writings explain the reasoning behind his actions. I have always been impressed, touched, and moved when reading Lincoln's words. Clearly he was our greatest president, perhaps an equal with George Washington in that achievement. But more evident is that he was somehow touched or ordained by God to lead and save this country from itself. Few people have had Lincoln's depth of though, clarity of position and purpose, and reverent humility. In my view, three presidents have lead this country to new (or renewed) levels of greatness: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. I pray that it doesn't take another hundred years for our next "greatest" leader to be elected.
Posted by Richard Teasdale on April 7,2009 | 11:24 PM
As a US history teacher, I was interested in convincing Sorenson to comment upon the opinion of some historians that he plagiarized Chief Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes while writing Kennedy's Inaugural Address and why Kennedy did write his own speeches, or any other modern president. How disappointing for American voters to discover that many presidents rely upon others for their words of inspiration.
Posted by Robyn E. Williams on February 19,2009 | 02:18 PM
I can't believe you don't mention President Reagan's oratory skills too. Is it because he was a Republican like President Lincoln and MLK? Biased much?
Posted by FeFe on February 16,2009 | 04:30 PM
I congratulate Ted Sorensen on his writing for this interesting article and for his wonderful contributions to President Kennedy's Inaugural Address. Lincoln may well have been the pricipal writer of his own material, but some historians feel that John Hay also assisted his President with first drafts from time to time. Some feel that Hay was the actual author of the famous "Bixby Letter" in Lincoln's handwriting to the Massachusetts mother of five sons lost in battle. Even if that is true, however, Lincoln's poetic genius truly "belongs to the ages."
Posted by Dennis O'Brien on February 8,2009 | 12:30 AM
Abraham Lincoln is proof that genius can be entirely self taught: with no formal education, Lincoln read law, and practiced law; he read the great writers of the English language, from Chaucer to Shakespeare, from Washington Irving to Nathaniel Hawthorne, and it shows in his writing. How succinct, how poignant, how precise his words are in the Gettysburg address; the economy of words, the depth of meaning, sincerity, honesty; he had an incredible talent for the written word! Both inaugural speeches are also masterpieces; the second shows how his genius and craft evolved during the four moving years of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln is my favorite American President, and through his vision of what America should be, unified, one, without the institution of slavery, equal, made America what it now is. No assassin's bullet can take him away from us. To quote his friend Stanton, "He now belongs to the Ages". --James Zaworski, 2009

If the cruise industry is smarting from some recent PR disasters, it's not letting on. Executives are gathered in Florida this week for Cruise Shipping Miami, a big conference. It's been a month since an engine fire on the Carnival Triumph knocked out the ship's power, leaving it stranded in the Gulf of Mexico. Cable networks seem to carry every moment of the drama, as the ship and more than 3,000 passengers were towed slowly to port.
Ailsa mentioned the House budget, and today, it was presented by a cohort of House Republicans led by Budget Committee Chairman and former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. The budget gives an indication of just how hard reaching a grand bargain will be. There's not a lot of overlap with the president's priorities, and it's almost an exact repeat of Ryan's budget from last year, right down to the title, "The Path to Prosperity." NPR congressional correspondent Tamara Keith tells us more.

President Obama came to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, in the first of three planned visits to court lawmakers on a cluster of issues, from gun control legislation to a so-called grand bargain on tax reform and entitlement spending cuts. He spoke with Senate Democrats. Melissa Block talks to Ailsa Chang.

It's almost spring, and for many animals, warmer weather means it's time to find a mate. If you're a bird, finding that mate means a new clutch of eggs won't be far behind.
But keeping those eggs safe until they hatch can be a challenge, especially if you're a Japanese quail — a small ground-nesting bird that counts foxes among its predators.
The eggs of Coturnix japonica are tiny — not much bigger than a quarter. They're off-white or tan in color, with darker speckles.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) got the process underway Tuesday by introducing the House Republican budget for the coming fiscal year, DOA because it has no chance of getting through the Democratic Senate or to be signed by President Obama.

There's a reason why Hyundai cars are so frequently praised for their standard safety equipment. There's a reason why our designers spend so much time driving and testing our vehicles. And there's a reason why we've invested so heavily in processes and equipment that ensure the quality of our cars.
A number of years back, Hyundai made the decision to invest in safety. Take Electronic Stability Control (ESC). We took note of studies done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which found that ESC reduced crashes and fatalities by as much as 43%. Knowing how many lives could be saved made our goal clear: to make ESC standard on nearly every car we build.
We believe in exterior design. Making it dynamic and fluid and utterly head-turning. But, more important, we believe in ergonomic design-the science of making our cars intuitive and comfortable. And, with the introduction of the Genesis, we've taken our study of ergonomics to a whole new level.
Designing is only half the equation. Which is why Hyundai invests millions of dollars in its assembly plants around the world. The Hyundai plant in Montgomery, Alabama, was built from the ground up to be efficient, quality-focused, and mindful of the people who work there. Every car is put through a series of checks by both uncompromising machines and humans alike, with an eye on making every Hyundai the very best one we can build.
For more than a decade, America's Best Warranty hasn't just changed how our customers feel about their cars, it's changed how we build vehicles. To make sure we deliver automobiles worthy of a 10-year warranty, Hyundai initiated the Drive Defects to Zero plan. This program has a dedicated team of Hyundai engineers that are charged with catching, learning about and fixing any issue, no matter how small, before it gets to the customer.
America's Best Warranty does more than give you peace of mind, it's a commitment from Hyundai to maintain a high degree of quality, dependability and reliability.
Covers repair or replacement of powertrain components (i.e., selected engine and transmission/transaxle components), originally manufactured or installed by Hyundai that are defective in material or factory workmanship, under normal use and maintenance. Coverage applies to original owner only, effective with 2004 model year and newer model year vehicles. On 1999-2003 model years, coverage applies to original owner and immediate family members (i.e., wife, husband, daughter, son, stepdaughter, stepson).
Second and/or subsequent owners have powertrain components coverage under the 5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Excludes coverage for vehicles in commercial use (e.g. taxi, route delivery, delivery service, rental, etc.).
