The dude wants to play but i don't see any real preparation from him. A 308 lb QB !!!! When you declare you want to attempt a comeback at least be in some type of physical shape? The most glaring negative on Jmarc is his lack of the 'X' factor. The ability of NFL QB's to react quickly, decisively, make the correct read, throw an accurate ball to the correct spot. Jmarc always had the physical skills...its his mental acuity that has made him a liability.
JaMarcus Russell, former No. 1 pick, to attempt NFL comeback
Former quarterback JaMarcus Russell, one of the biggest busts in NFL Draft history, will attempt a comeback, reports Yahoo! Sports.
Russell quickly flamed out of the NFL after the Oakland Raiders took him with the top pick in the 2007 Draft. In 2009, his last year in the league, Russell threw eight more interceptions than touchdowns and completed less than half of his throws.
He also struggled to control his weight during his career. Yahoo!'s report says Russell currently weighs 308 pounds. The 6-6 quarterback reportedly wants to get closer to his playing weight of 265 pounds.
"My first year out, I couldn't watch football but after a while, I couldn't keep the TV off. I got that itchy feeling but now I gotta watch it, gotta watch," Russell told Yahoo!.
"The last few years, the things going through my life, football is my job and it is how it feeds my family. People would say I didn't love the game but that pisses me off. People don't know the real you but I want people to know the real me and see what I can do. People are always saying that I'm a bust. I want show them I'm not. I'm committed to this now."
In July 2010, Russell was arrested for possession of codeine syrup without a prescription. He later admitted he had tested positive for the substance after the 2007 Draft.
Yahoo! reports Russell's comeback will be a team effort led by former NFL receiver Mike Clayton. Among the others who will work with the quarterback are Jeff Garcia and Marshall Faulk.
Sports Illustrated's Jon Wertheim wrote about Russell's post-football life in 2011. To read that story, click here.
I think they should quit paying these first round draft picks so much money. They are young and that much money consumes how they thin. Pay them less at fist and then give them the big money when they have proven their ability.

All the vitriol. All the damning conversation about a young man who is trying to hold on to a dream. Talk about piling on ...
Ever make a mistake in your life? Ever take something or someone that you truly loved for granted? Ever took pause in your life, looked back and thought you wished you would have done a few things differently? Ever have a regret? Chances are if you are alive then you will have answered yes at least a couple of times.
Ever taken advantage of that awakening and made a change in your life to affect a better outcome, a better future? For some of you the answer here will also be yes.
For all of us it means that we can sympathize and understand where this young man is in his life.
What does it say about our society that we would completely forget that we are all human beings? That every person walks a path and faces challenge, or fights a battle. And each one is different. These are human struggles and they aren't easier if you have a big paycheck or insane athletic ability. When did talents and blessings make someone less human?
Whether or not JeMarcus is successful or not in his attempts is not up to you, or me to determine. His destiny is his own and it has been given to him. It is up to him to take the steps and put in the effort. He can rise up or he can sit and let a calling pass him by. So why wish failure upon him? And what if he did go on to realize a successful NFL career? What if he overcame this adversity and rose above? What if his determination in the face of ridicule and doubt led to ultimate achievement?
Well I guess a lot of people would tear him down for that too ...
I'm pulling for the kid. He's getting up off the mat and he is working to do the right things. I hope that he fights through this and pulls off a great career. Wouldn't that be a great story.
AkA I need money, seriously... money!
At 6'6" three biscuits plus he could be a back up guard on the offensive line. QB = no, been there did that.
There are enough teams in the NFL with a need at the position that Russell will get an invitation to go to camp somewhere. How long he lasts is another story.
Translation: JaMarcus Russell is flat broke already. End of story.
If I were a GM, Coach, Owner or one of their assistant coaches, I can think of 100 guys who would give away important parts of their anatomy to play in the NFL. This guy had it handed to him on a silver platter! A super fat contract, starting QB job, and a team he could mold to his skill set. This idiot chose to take it all for granted, got SUPER LAZY, clearly DID NOT CARE now that he was paid, and BLEW IT! I would NEVER give him an invitation to watch my practice much less try out for the team. Think of how that will make all the players feel who are making the league minimum, but worked their tail off to make it to where they are? Think of the veterans and skilled position players who eat right year round, work out constantly, struggle, and fight through the pain to stay in this game? NO ONE ON ANY TEAM WOULD GIVE THIS GUY A SWEATY TOWEL, much less any respect!! Jemarcus, you made your bed buddy, now you can sleep in it. You have made yourself a pariah more hated than Michael Vick, Suh, even Leaf! You did not just become a bust, you quit the minute you got your first check and your attitude was one of entitlement! You could not earn the respect of the players, the coaches, and especially us fans! We see what it takes to be out there on the field and revere some of these men as heroes for what they go through to play football. When we see someone blow it the way you do, that is worse than dog fighting, child molesting, or even becoming a politician! Enjoy your retirement if you have not already blown all your money. If you have, I hope you have at least finished your education, but something tells me you have not! You are too lazy!! Well, learn the phrase "Would you like fries with that?" and get to work in a job befitting someone of your education, laziness, and attitude. Flipping burgers in your late twenties sounds just about perfect!
Somebody better tell JaMarcus Russell that ship sailed long time back. Forget making it to a team I would be surprised, nay shocked, if any NFL (or CFL) team even asks him to try out. I can't think of any GM or owner in the league, including Jerry Jones, who will go "Gee I really like this Russell kid and we should get him here". I am sure JaMarcus Russell will have a bunch of excuses and sob stories to tell why it wasn't his fault and how unfairly he was treated but the fact is he is the biggest draft bust (ahead of Ryan Leaf) and it was all his fault.
Russell was GIVEN a starting job in the NFL and had every opportunity to be successful, but sadly flopped. Tebow has been disparaged ever since he was drafted and only became a starter when Denver was 1-4 in 2011 and Fox assumed that the Broncos' season was over. Tebow and the Broncos then enjoyed unexpected success and even beat the Steelers in a playoff game, during which Tebow turned in a record-setting performance (most playoff pass completions of over 30 yards in a quarter, highest yards per completion in a playoff game (31.6) and a Broncos postseason passer rating (125.6) to go with over 300 passing yards, 2 TD passes, 50 yards rushing and a rushing TD).
Now, Russell is apparently going to receive another chance after enjoying neither individual nor team success, while Tebow was denied the opportunity to play any meaningful snaps for the Jets this past season, even as his NFL career is reportedly/suddenly in jeopardy. This equation does not add up.
It's also interesting that the scores of individuals who post vitriolic comments insisting that Tebow should not be given another opportunity to play qb for any NFL team are strangely silent and voice no opposition when far less accomplished individuals either secure starting qb jobs (Brady Quinn in K.C., Blaine Gabbert in Jacksonville, etc) or attempt a comeback (JaMarcus Russell).
lol If people think he's better than tebow they should be hung!
If Mr Russell ever develops a work ethic as big as his arm, I'm sure he'll become a monster NFL QB. IF!
Once a bust always a bust. Jeff Garcia, Marshall Faulk and Mike Clayton are wasting their time. If it were another position I could understand, but QB?!!
I wish for starters he would have been at that target weight then I would take him seriously. He couldn't put down the fork then and hasn't yet wait and see
@FourTigers FourTIgers - you are beautiful Human Being with a beautiful mind and heart. THANK YOU!
i'm sure he's still pretty athletic... maybe trying him out on the D Line wouldn't be such a bad idea... maybe a little JPP-esque? if he's got an attitude and wants to take out some aggression, he might just excel.
IDDOHANNAHSTORM is that you Tony Kornheiser
@Perry E The politician remark will pass unchallenged. Your comments about dog fighting and child molesting render every other point you wanted to make completely worthless. Perhaps you and Mr. Russell have more in common than you ever dreamed.
Nobody is giving Russell a chance, yet. I don't think anybody will. Tebow, OTOH, is still in the league, under contract. I don't get your beef.
@pljaye Unless I misread the story not a single team I am aware of has expressed an interest in Russell....yet another SEC QB flop, yes along with Tebow, David Greene, Danny Wuerffel, etc. You forgot to mention the Broncos didn't defeat a single team under Tebow that made the playoffs during the regular season, they only made the playoffs by virtue of playing in the awful AFC West, if they had been in any other division they would have been watching the playoffs from home like the rest of us. Most of the Tebow magic can be credited to the defense. Against San Diego, the Broncos D gave up just 3 points in the second half and the OT, Tebow's offense scored just 9 points in that period. Against Miami, Denver was held scoreless until the 4th, which was also the case against the Bears. Of the seven wins, the Broncos won three in OT by a field goal, and one by only four. Only the wins against the awful Raiders by 14 and Chiefs by 7 did Denver easily win those games. Denver could have easily been 3-13 last season and we'd have RGIII now as our QB. And Orton....he lost by three to the Titans (winning in the 4th quarter) and lost by three to the Raiders, his big blow out was to the playoff bound Packers by 26, and Tebow had equal problems defeating playoff teams, losing to the Loins by 35 and the Pats by 18. Looking at the easy schedule the Broncos had after Green Bay and how well the defense was playing at least against teams that ended up 8-8 or less (discounting the Bills game), Orton perhaps would have won the majority of the games if not all of the games Tebow's Broncos won. You might also note that in Tebow's losses, you can't put all the blame on the defense either...10 points against the Lions, 14 points against the Bills, 3 against the Chiefs. Typically scoring just 3, 10 and 14 points is not enough to win games no matter who good your defense is playing.
I am not saying Orton is a good QB, he is actually pretty poor but Tebow is only slightly better if that. And we wouldn't have to deal with either if that disaster Josh McDaniels hadn't been hired. He was the cause of Cutler being ran off as well as a number of other top players and the idiotic decision to draft Tebow in the first round.
There are plenty of awful QBs in the NFL and you named just a few, but Tebow is hardly better. he can't read defenses, he can't hit the inside of a barn with his arm...he is like Michael Vick, only with more flaws. As you are obviously a member of the Tebow cult, tell me, if you were the Broncos, who would you want as your QB...Tebow or Manning?
I'd actually love some NFL team to do what your cultists want...bring Timmy in, build an offense suited for his college-type play and see how that works out for you as it has never worked long term in the NFL. Timmy is no longer playing against Ole Miss (a game he lost). And when he and it fails, we can stop hearing how great Timmy is and he not getting a chance. Of course since coaches and GMs don't like to get fired, that isn't likely to happen.
Go to the CFL, Timmy. Learn how to read defenses, work on your accuracy, learn how to be a pocket passer that can also run. Then come back to the NFL or perhaps decide your skills just aren't right for the position in the NFL and switch to TE or a slot back.
Russell isn't coming back and Tebow probably isn't either, sadly for you.
@pljaye The same media that propped up Jamarcus as a no.1 pick were the same group that brought him down when they realized their mistake.
As for Tebow, it's a mistake to put him in the same sentence as Jamarcus.
@Lacentral With the number of people who would be hung, that would amount to genocide!
If I won megalotto, I'll buy a NFL team and make Jamarcus my starter. IF!
@muktech Some busts can be turned around with the right personal. Look at Alex Smith. I imagine Russel has seen what Alex Smith did to turn things around and thought, "why not me?"
@muktech Maybe it should be up to Jeff Garcia, Marshall Faulk, and Mike Clayton to determine whether or not doing what they choose is a waste of their time.
@muktech Marshall Faulk was not a bust. He had some extremely solid years.
@markcrosal @IdDoHannahStorm See you tomorrow, I'll try to do better: good night Canada!
It's funny how you didn't even mention Tebow's win over Steelers in the playoffs in that long essay of yours. And even funnier is that when Tebow won it was coz of Broncos defense and when the great Peyton Manning lost with pretty much the same defense it was due to Broncos defense as well. Oh the irony!
@Akagi @pljaye unless I missed something Joe Namath played in the SEC, so did Ken Stabler Eli Manning, Peyton Manning and Archie Manning so before you wash an entire league out consider the great players who played there, as far as Tebow goes, he took a below average team to the playoffs and won against a heavily favored team, so when you have a team built around a skill set that no one is looking for you are considered an innovator, try and remember that
@Pares Hilton @pljaye you can mention them both in the same sentence. Here, I'll show you:
"Tim Tebow and JaMarcus Russell were both good college QBs who were below-average in the NFL."
@jhoush9087 @muktech Alex Smith has something that JaMarcus doesn't have. I think it's commonly known as a brain.
He didn't say those three were busts. He said they were wasting their time.
And I agree on Tebow - he should get a chance to start and back up for every team before JaCarcass gets another shot.
Tim Tebow is heads and shoulder above JaMarcus Russell. And I wouldn't be too hasty in calling Tebow "below-average" in NFL. The guy took a 1-4 team to playoffs and then a win over Steelers in playoffs. Not many QBs can boast of the same. It's not Tebow's fault that coaches/GMs have already made their mind he's not a NFL QB when his stats say otherwise.
@DaveVanHandel @Pares Hilton @jhoush9087 @muktech You would think before those three would agree to help him they would tell him to hire a personal trainer and get in shape so they are not wasting their time. If he cannot even show the motivation and commitment do do that on his own what would NFL teams paying attention think. Maybe "same old player, no self discipline and self motivation."
@Pares Hilton @jhoush9087 @muktech He says he is committed but he weighs over 300 lbs. Most people would get in shape before they tried to convince someone that they are serious about an athletic pursuit. I can't see this working out.
@pcwhite2 @H2OPoloPunk @muktech I am NOT a Tebow fan but I will agree he does deserve a chance. While he did get playing time with Denver, it was plenty of hype. And I personally do not think even the greats like Montana, Marino, Bradshaw or many others could help the Jets. That team needs FAR more than a new QB. Probably one good idea would be to have him on a team where there is a great QB coach or head coach. Take what Jim Harbaugh did with Alex Smith... He wasn't worth keeping and one year with a coach that was a QB and the results were much better.

I haven't exactly been taking a sabbatical from Roasted Nuts. I haven't exactly had writer's block, either. Rather, I've just been so inundated with ideas inside my brilliant mind that I haven't been able to piece them all together.
My brilliance. It's a blessing and a curse. In any event, today will be about little more than a few rants and rambles about felons and guns. We hit on each of the 3 big law enforcement gurus in today's Roasted Nuts.

And what's worse--gasp!--Miss California USA loaned her the money to do it! And it appears now that the organization is countersuing for a return of the implants!

hey everyone,
not super savvy to the forum thing, it's my first time posting. but i have been bugged ceaselessly since the burn about identifying this track i heard multiple times at multiple places on the playa. it's a techno track, sorta minimal, that has a male voice saying "it's all i need" or "it's all on me", something along those lines. anyone know this by chance? I know it's not a lot of info, but it's all I've got. anyone able to identify this will get endless love and gratitude from me. thanks!!

Ubuntu CM10/10.1/10.2 THEME
CM10/CM10.1/CM-10.2 and AOKP-MR1 THEME
ROOT needed and a custom ROM like CM10/CM10.1/CM-10.2 or AOKP-MR1 needed that supports the Theme Engine.
Download the theme, go to settings/themes and APPLY THE SYSTEM THEME AND REBOOT. Now select my Theme & apply. You may get an error: 'Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size'.
Ignore that and apply it anyway and REBOOT.
The lock screen and some system dialogs cannot be themed in the T-Mobile Theme Engine, therefore they will remain unchanged.
NOTE: I have read in the comments that people have a problem with a bug sms application, to clarify, this theme only works for CM10/CM10.1/CM-10.2 and AOKP-Android 4.2 and not for AOKP-Android 4.1.2
Users of AOKP 4.1.2 if you install CM10 mms.apk instead of aokp stock then this theme works fine

In my youth the nuns said that I had to thank their god for "life" which meant pain and abuse (not only by them), now I am very cross with you just because what you say sounds so similar.
I am an atheist because the very few atheists I met in the course of my escaping religious dumbth accepted my fight against the abortionforbidding law and there is still a close connection between atheists and the euthanasia movement.
I do recognize that most people who endorse selfdetermination are still atheists, and that your argumentation of the theoretical combination of genes is something different, but only a few of these combinations feel good!

So Dawins has an uneasy conscience about eating meat. Maybe my spoof in an earlier post, on another thread, about the slaughter of turkeys at thanksgiving and Christmas making the holocaust pale into significance was not as much of a straw-man as some people said it was. Dawkins' and Singer's arguments require one to believe that there is, ontologically and morally, no difference between taking the life of a fellow sentient creature and taking the life of another human being. Therefore canabalism, and killing a human being to satisfy whatever physical, territorial, surval or supremacy need, is actually no more abhorrent than sitting down to a turkey dinner. At the most, it is wrong because protectiveness towards and empathy with members of our own species is somehow wired into us, and therefore it seems unfitting to fly in the face of that. But there are no moral categories left whereby we can condemn such behaviour, any more than there are any moral categories whereby we can condemn wild animals for killing members of their own species in defense of their territory, or over who gets the female they both want!

Depends what you mean by sentient. A human is more sentient than a turkey, which is more sentient than a carrot.
Therefore canabalism, and killing a human being to satisfy whatever physical, territorial, surval or supremacy need, is actually no more abhorrent than sitting down to a turkey dinner.
No, because of the difference in sentience.
At the most, it is wrong because protectiveness towards and empathy with members of our own species is somehow wired into us, and therefore it seems unfitting to fly in the face of that.
That is far too simple. We are more protective towards close relatives than others because of kin selection. But there tend to be limits to what we allow ourselves to do to others, but those change due to other influences - we can interact with others and change our minds. For example, in the past few centuries most of us have realised that all races are equally human.
It is a combination of wiring and culture; nature and nurture. We see changes in ethical standards in all cultures, no matter which God-given book they believe in, assuming they believe in any.

Therefore canabalism, and killing a human being to satisfy whatever physical, territorial, surval or supremacy need, is actually no more abhorrent than sitting down to a turkey dinner.
That is, in a very real sense, quite correct. That is why the idea of eating dead relatives makes you and I feel physically ill, and yet there where humans doing that as little as a hundred years ago, who considered it not only perfectly reasonable behaviour, but sacred ritual. A common greeting among these people, considered especially flattering, was "I eat you.".
Morality is simply what culture says it is, what we collectivley agree. The bedrock which you are desperate to find, does exist, but it is not provided by "God", but by the evolutionary advantageous impulse to protect, love and do good to kin. Most readily summed up by "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.". Sometimes, that means "Eat me when I've died.". The trick will be to extend that golden rule to all humans equally, erasing the artificial barriers of race, religion and nationality. The good news is we seem to be stumbling along the right track, and may even make it:-)
However, what now seems certain, is that we don't benefit from the contradictory 10th hand hearsay of a very nasty God, filtered through notoriously unreliable acolytes, telling us what is right or wrong. That simply breeds unjustified pious certainity and rage, as evidenced by the entire span of religious history to the present day. It also puts Teddy bears and teachers at terribly risk.
It seems to me that 6,000 years of "revelation", has simply led to the same kind of manipulative assholes (albeit with different headgear) lying and killing for basically the same bad reasons.
Yet, people in simple dialouge with each other, rejecting anything as especially sacred do a far better job of reaching rational conclusions, conclusions that do much better justice to the spirit of the golden rule, than religion EVER has.
So lets dump all the holy books and do that. Talk, argue, consult and come to agreement.

Dawkins' and Singer's arguments require one to believe that there is, ontologically and morally, no difference between taking the life of a fellow sentient creature and taking the life of another human being.
If you had any familiarity with Singer you would know that this is bullshit. He makes quite clear that he considers the taking of a human life more wrong than the taking of, say, a cow's, on the preference-utilitarian grounds that, as a person (a being with a conception of a "self" persisting over time), the human is more able to value his own life than the cow, a non-person, is. In other words, you wrong the human you kill more than the cow you kill. He does believe that it wrong to place human interests, by default, above animal interests of comparable value (say, their interest in avoiding the torment inflicted upon them in the billions by the modern meat industry); but this is quite a different matter from what you allege. Animals unable to consciously value their own lives simply have no interest in staying alive, Singer implies, which is why he has, as Joey Kurtzman of Jewcy says, "left many of us with the understanding that death has no value whatsoever in Singer's utilitarian calculations, and is undesirable only to the extent that it comes with associated suffering. If Charles Eisenstein were to detonate a neutron bomb on a small island full of chocolate labrador puppies, I don't know that Singer would find this of any great concern."
In the future please deign to stay away from straw men.

I think there's a strong ethical case for vegetarianism regardless of your religious views, or lack of them.
It avoids the taking of life on an enormous scale, it avoids the hideousness of intensive farming methods and the horrors of the slaughterhouse, it is dramatically less extravagant with limited resources such as land and water and, when pursued with a modicum of attention to nutrition, can be healthier than a non-vegetarian diet, leading to less human suffering too.
And despite Richard's remark in the interview, veggie food can be absolutely delightful - though I do agree with him that a horrible number of chefs haven't cottoned on to this yet!
Christianity gives meat-eaters some wiggle-room, of course, by claiming that man has dominion over the rest of the animal kingdom. Not one of Christianity's finest pronouncements. But there's no obvious reason why it should outweigh the ethical considerations I've suggested above. The case for vegetarianism is strong on its own merits - no need to bring religion into it either way.

yet another thread of comments muddied up with ADH and Steve. Boring!
If the consensus is that it is boring, then I am happy to stop. However, I thought that one of the purposes of the site should be to engage with people of different views. Even if we don't change their minds, surely it is an educational experience for both sides, and is a positive message about the nature of this site.
ADH is not a nutter - he represents mainstream Christian opinion. And as for uninvited, where does it say "atheists only" regarding membership here?
We could resort to a mutual admiration group; nothing more than patting each other on the back and praising each other for how rational and sane we are regarding religion. But that surely be behaving in precisely the way we have been stereotyped as behaving, wouldn't it? And wouldn't it be just a bit dull?

Some of us just enjoy the debate, coretemprising! What a dull place RD.net would be if we all just sat around agreeing with each other. I have yet to read a post by steve99 that I have found boring, and there haven't been many of them that I haven't learned something from either so Steve, please keep them coming.
I do agree that very few people are likely to change their minds about anything by reading what other people write - but don't you find that the very process of gathering your own thoughts to respond to someone else makes you question and challenge them, identify areas of them that aren't strong and that you therefore need to explore more deeply?
As an example, if I hadn't started engaging in debates with theists on a different forum about a year ago, I doubt very much whether I'd have felt the need to understand evolution better, or cosmology. Has my learning more about evolution and cosmology in the last year transformed those theists' views in any way? No, of course not. But it has transformed and strengthened mine and opened up whole new areas of interest to me. If I'd just decided those theists weren't worth debating with and walked away, they wouldn't be any the poorer now. But I would be.
Permalink Sat, 08 Dec 2007 08:19:00 UTC | #91017
I agree with Northern Bright: steve99 is always interesting to read.
Surely, surely, atheists have to engage with others who disagree--and communication is hard work: fatally easy to misunderstand each other. Lots of the debates here show that people are not really understanding the position of the other side at all.
And it would be powerfully boring to read only atheists' comments congratulating each other on their insight.
Please carry on, Steve99 (and all those other tireless folk who keep up the rational arguments).

Comment 21 by ADH
Forgive me if I have misrepresented Singer. So it seems that what distinguishes humans from other sentient beings is self-awareness. OK, I need ti read a few more things written by Singer. I've just read some articles, in on of which he states that a new-born babby is actually of less value (until they acquire consciousness) than a sentient and conscious animal. But is the distinguishing trait "consciousness", as I understood from the article, or "self-consciousness", which is the faculty that allows the human to value his or her life and therefore be aware of what they are losing? I'm just trying to get my head around this one.
If it is "self" awareness, then that is a big difference indeed. Have any animals (the higher primates for example) bee shown to be self aware? How do they react when they look at themselves in a mirror? Dogs and cats show no sign of such awareness.

I think I'll go back to just reading the articles. Having ADH here is like having an UNINVITED annoying stranger in your house who's intent to challenge and make wrong everything you say.
I'm bemused by this attitude I have to say. I've seen some fairly deranged theists, and ADH just doesn't qualify. Are you threatened by alternate points of view? If not then whats the problem?
No one is forcing anyone here to participate or contribute, it's entirely voluntary. However, wouldn't it be sterile if the only people we ever spoke to where those that agreed with us?

If it is "self" awareness, then that is a big difference indeed. Have any animals (the higher primates for example) bee shown to be self aware? How do they react when they look at themselves in a mirror? Dogs and cats show no sign of such awareness.
ADH ... several animals have passed the test you mention.
Ready to join the atheist legions now;-)? If not, why not?

Comment 24 by Jayday
It is interesting that the conversation has focused on human animals eating non-human animals. Other non-human animals who eat their prey do it because they have evolved to do so. Isn't that also true of humans? In my mind it is more about eating animals for food (survival and nutrients) and not inflicting unnecessary cruelty in the process, or killing for the prize sport of it.

...and then there's always the point about it being unlikely that a human brain could have evolved without meat-eating ancestors.Interesting point! Even if it's true, though (and sorry, I'm not intentionally doubting you - I just genuinely don't have the knowledge on this score), wouldn't that still leave the question of whether meat-eating is ethical NOW?
Also, I can well imagine that meat would have been required at earlier stages of our evolutionary development, not least because our ancestors wouldn't have had the access to the wide range of vegetables, fruits and grains that we have these days. Meat is undoubtedly a very concentrated source of all kinds of essential nutrients, so "back then" it was probably an excellent solution. But whether it would still have been essential if they'd had the array of alternatives we have today is perhaps another question.
I suspect I'm sounding more hardline on this question than I actually am - I occasionally eat meat and fish myself. But I do see vegetarianism as the preferable option, for the reasons I gave before. Even if most of us just made a point of eating less meat and avoiding buying the factory-farmed stuff, there'd be a big reduction in animal suffering and extravagant use of resources.
EDIT: OK, in the interests of scrupulous honesty, I have to acknowledge that there may be an element of post-rationalisation in what I've written: I do think vegetarianism is the more ethical option ... but that's not actually the reason I choose to eat veggie food most of the time: it's simply that I prefer it! And I also find having lumps of dead animal in my fridge rather nauseating.

Northern Bright:
There is an interesting theory that human brains require certain fats that are present in seafood for full development, which is highly suggestive of an aquatic, or at least seaside phase in our ancestry. Of course, with our current knowledge of nutrition, vegetarians need not suffer from this deficiency.

Sigh. I thought giving up that religion stuff would allow me to live exactly as I pleased with no regrets. So this morality business is independent of religion. Who knew?
Maybe when we can grow meat in the lab ... we'll finally be in the clear. In the meantime, eating mammals strikes me as a kind of cannibalism, but I still do it because :
a) I like meat.
b) I have yet to have explained to me why eating humans (who have consented to it) is "wrong". The only coherent case that can be made against it is based on health issues, rather than morality.
Let me quickly add, I don't actually want to eat humans :-), I simply find cannibalism a fascinating context to discuss morality and ethics in.

If sistren is the female equivalent of brethren, what is the female equivalent of fellow? Words usually paired are: guy/gal; man/woman; boy/girl; lad/lass; brethren/sistren; fraternity/sorority; but I have seen nothing for fellow.
According to Etymology Online, fellow has been:
It would be perfectly acceptable to call a woman a fellow traveler, for instance.
A similarly toned word for a woman, but not related to fellow, might be simply lady, or woman, as in, "my dear lady...".
I think you could conceivably get away with using "fellow" for a woman. ("For she's a jolly good fellow!", although that may be limited to the context of the song.) If you want a word with the same sort of archaic feel as fellow, "chapess" might do the job, although it's both colloquial, and a neologism, as was as being more obviously paired with "chap".
Fellow in the context of an organization or group is gender neutral. Girl, woman or gal otherwise.
Either girl or gal, depending on age of the subject and the context, would carry about the same air of casualness as fellow.
If she is stuck in the 1950's and calling her boyfriend her fellow, those words would work for what he would call her, too. If she is a fellow in the collegiate sense, she is of course a fellow.
Sorry, but I can't come up with a unique form of fellow that is not already paired with one of the others. I wonder if it's a holdover from the era when women were treated with more respect (in polite society, and in public, at least), and so there's a dearth of casual yet respectable words for women from that time. (I may be wrong about the use of fellow elsewhere, but in general I only hear older people using the word).
I have heard the expression "every fellow needs a filly". It's originally used to refer to a female horse but has a less common informal meaning that's comparable to fellow.
To treat only a special case, "a fellow of [some organization]" seems to be treated as fully gender neutral.
"She is a APS Fellow" is fine and simply carries the respect that comes with the position.
The word you are looking for is "sheila"
N.B., this answer was edited.

The ABC's of Engine Mount Inspection & Repair
By Tom Heid
October 2000
You are faced with the task of removing the engine from your customer's aircraft. It might be routine, scheduled maintenance or it may be a complete engine replacement. Either way, this would be a good time to remove and inspect the engine mount assembly - you know, that tubular, spider web looking framework that remains attached to the firewall after the engine and other power plant accessories have been removed?
Integral part of the airframe
The aircraft's engine mount assembly is an integral part of the airframe. Attached to the aircraft firewall with only a few bolts, the engine mount is the only structure holding the engine and other power plant parts and accessories in place. Letting the aircraft owner head off into the wild blue yonder with a defective engine mount can be a recipe for disaster.
To the untrained eye, looks can, and usually are, deceiving. A cursory once over by your mechanic may not be enough to detect potential flaws lurking under the paint or carbon build-ups. The engine mount structure is exposed to some of the harshest of operational environments. Subjected continuously to extreme heat and temperatures, corrosive gases and load bearing stresses, it is easy to understand how the reliability and structural integrity of the engine mount assembly will degrade overtime.
Engine mounts are subject to abuse every day
In its every day working environment, the engine mount will be subject to pitting and fatigue caused by corrosion, cracks due to stress and vibration, and chaffing from tubing, cabling or moving metal parts such as the landing gear assembly. Additionally, the structure itself may become bent or misaligned due to unnatural stresses or actual flight inflicted damage. With all the potential problems that may occur, one thing is certain - engine mount inspection and repair is not for the novice or inexperienced aircraft mechanic. Unless your FBO has the facilities, equipment, and trained personnel to remove, inspect and repair engine mounts, you may want to consider using an FAA licensed repair station. Let's walk through the recommended inspection and repair process. Afterwards, you can make the call if you want to return the engine mount back to service under your signature.
What is an engine mount?
An aircraft engine mount assembly is actually a weldment constructed from Chromaloy 4130 tubular steel. Why Chromaloy? Chromaloy is a lightweight, high-strength alloy capable of handling the loads required for aircraft engines and supporting components, as well as the stresses encountered during flight operations. Although a very durable material, careful and thorough inspection is required to ensure the structural integrity of the mount remains at 100 percent.
The inspection process
To begin the inspection process, the engine mount must be removed from the aircraft. This is accomplished by removing the bolts located at the engine mount attach points on the firewall. Prior to any meaningful inspection, it is recommended that the engine mount undergo a sand blast operation. Sand blasting serves two very important functions:
1. Removes all paint, carbon and chemical buildups and other discoloration, exposing the bare metal and any potential defects.
2. Cleans the Chromaloy 4130 so that if repairs are needed, good, solid welds will result.
Double check ADs for any additional required procedures
In addition to the sand blasting process, FAA Airworthiness Directives (ADs) require some aircraft models, such as the Beech 58 Baron, to undergo a magnetic particle inspection. Magnetic or mag particle inspection is required because visual and dye penetrate inspection has been determined to be insufficient to uncover defects in the welded joints and seams of these particular aircraft engine mounts. Be sure to double check the ADs for the particular make and model aircraft to ensure the proper procedures will be followed.

You have a pressure and or temperature balancing valve and the spool for pressure or the temp control is malfunctioning. Do you know the brand of valve you have? Can you post a pic of it if you don't know?
I'm having the craziest problem with my shower and probably hot water. I usually start the shower and let it run for about 1-2 minutes by itself to heat up. Once I get there I hop in, but I find myself constantly having to increase the temperature using the knob since the water just gets colder and colder slowly over time. It does this some of the times, but not all of the time. Sometimes it's fine, but then there are other times (usually rare, it's only happened once or twice) where I go to get in and the water is already ICE cold. It seems to tend to happen more in the winter (even though it's only 50-55 up here in the Northeast). Even stranger, there are times when it'll get colder and colder so much that I'll have the knob all the way up where it can't go any farther to hot and the water will still be cold. Suddenly I start to feel the water warm up and within about 5 minutes, I'm back to perfectly warm running water (and I need to turn the knob back down to a normal position so I don't burn myself).
I have no idea what is going on. It happens completely randomly. It pulled one of the stunts where it gets colder and colder with no hot water coming out at all tonight and I've just had it. I've also tried the water in other parts of the house when it was completely ICE before I even got in and they didn't have hot water either.
Let me know what you think. Thanks everyone.
You have a pressure and or temperature balancing valve and the spool for pressure or the temp control is malfunctioning. Do you know the brand of valve you have? Can you post a pic of it if you don't know?
There is what is called a "dip tube" on the cold water inlet of your water heater. If it becomes split or if it breaks off, the hot water at the fixture will turn cool right soon after you start using the shower. Instead of taking cold water to the bottom of the tank, cold water soon finds its way across to the hot water outlet and your shower soon becomes tepid and then cold. The fix is to replace it. Plumbers have the dip tubes and so do the big box stores and hardware's.
I missed the part about the other parts of the house having the problem and plumber1 is probably right.
Hmmm... wonder if maybe the HW heater is plumbed backwards?
Did the problem just begin, or has it always been this way?
Well I don't really remember when it started. Lately it's been fine enough for me to take a shower without worrying since I can get out before it gets cold, but last night was when it got cold quick. It's been happening for a while now. I'm not technically inclined when it comes to plumbing though. Where would the dip tube be located? I could try to get a picture of it if possible.
The dip tube is inside the water heater. It would have to be replaced by a plumber or someone who is very mechanically inclined.
The dip tube is basically an extension of the incoming cold water pipe that feeds cold water to the bottom of the heater, rather than at the top (where you take off the hot water). It is usually made of plastic. They sometimes disintegrate - there was a raft of defective ones awhile ago. They usually last the life of the heater, though. This keeps the hot hotter, longer, and directs the water towards the heating element.
