text: January 03, 2014 STEUBENVILLE, OH—Franciscan University of Steubenville will host a conference, "Truth, Conscience, and Religious Freedom," which addresses current threats to religious freedom in the United States. The April 4-5, 2014 conference will serve as the inaugural event to launch the University's Veritas Center for Ethics in Public Life. "Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI recognized that the threat to religious freedom is larger than any single issue—and has its roots in secularism and cultural relativism," said Dr. Anne Hendershott, Franciscan University sociology professor and director of Franciscan's Veritas Center for Ethics in Public Life. These destructive forces take many forms, said the conference planners, including the HHS mandate's insistence on contraceptive, sterilization, and abortifacient coverage in health insurance plans; health-care institutions requiring medical personnel to participate in morally objectionable procedures; legal liability for businesses refusing on religious grounds to provide services for same-sex "marriages"; students forbidden to engage in religious expression in public schools; and zoning laws used to stop Bible studies in private homes."Truth, Conscience, and Religious Freedom" will explore these issues and examine the state of religious freedom in the United States through the lens of the country's Founding, history, and constitutional principles. It will also examine the rights prevalent in our culture, international religious freedom, and Dignitatis Humanae, the Catholic Church's leading document on religious liberty."Benedict XVI asked for the laity to have the courage to counter the relativism that would 'delegitimize the Church's participation in the public square,'" Hendershott said. "Our upcoming conference will bring together the kinds of courageous people Pope Benedict spoke of who can confront that."The conference schedule includes: Dr. Robert P. George, Princeton University, "The Nature and Basis of Religious Freedom;" Professor Randy Lee, Widener University Law School (Harrisburg), "Thomas More, Dorothy Day, and Janis Joplin, and the Search for Religious Pluralism in America;" Professor Gerard V. Bradley, Notre Dame Law School, "The Culture of Religious Liberty;" Dr. Kevin Schmiesing, Acton Institute, "Marching in Opposite Directions: Religion and Liberty in the American Past and Present;" William Saunders, Esq., human rights lawyer, Washington, D.C., "The Human Right to Religious Liberty: How Does the U.S. Measure Up?"The conference is co-sponsored by the Veritas Center for Ethics in Public Life at Franciscan University of Steubenville and the Society of Catholic Social Scientists. Registration cost is $35. Meals are $40. For more information, visit franciscan.edu/veritas. To register and pay by phone, contact Carrie Libetti at 740-284-5262, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Good lord! Someone bought the last 85 of the AC Adapters! Looks like someone is looking to cash in if you ask me...
It was bought by Andover Network Liquidators at Computer Liquidators - Network Liquidation - Asset Recovery, so I think they might show up again there.

"I wear a 9 1/2 and bought a 10 because that's what they had and I figured I would wear these when I went to Big Bear or on the random cold day in SD so I would have on thicker socks. They are huge, I guess the manufacturer already thought of the whole "warm socks" aspect and accounted for it in the design. Returned these and am still looking for another pair."

"These boots were almost perfect. I loved everything about them. I am between a 9.5 and 10, so based on the reviews I went with the 9.5. They fit great on my foot. The hole at the top of the boot, however, is HUGE. My foot almost came out of it when I stepped. They would have looked ridiculous with a skirt or anything but long pants covering the top. If you have regular sized ankles, these are not the boots for you."

Leafs lose Grabovski, MacArthur to the proverbial shelf
Cam Charron
November 16 2011 02:51PM
So, Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke MacArthur were both banged up last night against the Phoenix Coyotes.
News broke out today that Grabovski will miss at least two weeks. Since November games are so important, Ron Wilson was in full playoff mode and qualified the injury strictly as "lower body". Meanwhile, MacArthur left late in the second period after playing just ten shifts in the game, and Wilson wasn't discussing much about his status.
With these two players out, the Leafs have now lost two-thirds of "the best second line in hockey" with only Nikolai Kulemin remaining. After getting out of last season relatively un-scathed, Toronto now face some pretty significant injury concerns and their depth will be tested.
But to what extent?
Readers of this blog are probably aware and don't need to be reminded that Mikhail Grabovski led the entire National Hockey League in relative Corsi last season. For those unawares, relative Corsi is an advanced hockey statistic that measures just how good you were at controlling the flow of play compared to your teammates. When Grabovski was on the ice last season was when the Leafs did their best at directing shots to the opponents' net.
Toronto, this season, has see Dion Phaneuf really step up and control the flow of play, as well as newcomer Dave Steckel and now full-timer Mike Brown, so the Leafs have had, thus far, more than one line that can actually play hockey at both ends. The problem is that, with Grabovski out for at least two weeks (and I agree with James Mirtle that it could be longer than that) now the Leafs are down to just a handful of players who can both take shots and prevent shots at an equal rate, and they're nowhere near as good.
This is an injury that really tests Toronto's depth. It's just not just about the 11 goals that MacArthur and Grabovski have combined for, but the countless (literally, they're impossible to count) goals that have been prevented at the other end. For all Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul's offensive successes, they're still minus-players at even strength according to Corsi.
It's a test for Dave Steckel. To my eye he's been quite good this season. When he's out for a faceoff, the Leafs usually start with the puck and don't give it up all that often, although they haven't really been able to turn those possessions into chances or goals. He's been a minus-4, but he's a plus-Corsi player and I think he may even see a bit of time back up with Kessel and Lupul before this is all over.
It's a test for Mike Brown and Philippe Dupuis, who may have to see a few more minutes in the stretch. Brown has so far been pretty good at keeping the puck in the right end of the ice given limited minutes and Dupuis has fit in admirably as a defensive centre. So far, their advanced numbers are pretty strong (Dupuis's Corsi is +0.4, but he's had a 41.8% offensive zone start rate and a .509 Corsi Rel QoC. Dupuis has been on the ice for just 20 shots against per 60 minutes of play)
It's a test on Tim Connolly, who can hopefully stay healthy for the next while, who will make a cameo appearance in the Leafs lineup for the first time in five games Thursday in Nashville. It's yet another for Nik Kulemin, who can prove that his 30-goal outburst last season was generated by his own individual offensive ability and not because he coasted on the ability of Grabovski. He has been, thus far compared to his last, underwhelming, scoring just twice and has just 27 shots through 18 games, 50 shots off last season's pace of 173.
We sort of knew that, despite the fast start, Toronto would eventually run into adversity. Perhaps it's a blessing that injuries to the team's starting goaltender and their top two-way centre occured at the same time, which means that there's a better chance they'll be healthy at the right time, and that the team will learn how to deal with rough stretches in November rather than later on the NHL calendar.
November 16 2011, 04:00PM
Cam- What do you see in Stecksy's career so far re: a stint with a "scoring" line- would we be tearing out hair out with him on the 1st temporarily?
November 16 2011, 06:46PM
Wilson's tried it a few times in games when the team has faceoffs in the offensive zone. He's a big guy that can keep possession and crash the net. If the injuries linger, including Colborne's in the AHL, I wouldn't be surprised to see that him do spot duty within games more often.
November 16 2011, 06:48PM
I love the thought of Steckel on #1 line (note wording ;). 1) big body in front of the net and in the corners (something Kessel, Lupul, Bozak cannot do) 2) win important draws and 3)commit to defense (sure, Bozak can do this I guess). I don't think he can keep up speed-wise with the two but like him on the PP at the very least.

Chapter 4
Deborah, a prophetess, judges Israel—She and Barak deliver Israel from the Canaanites—Jael, a woman, slays Sisera, the Canaanite.
1 And the children of Israel again did
2 And the Lord
3 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred
4 ¶And Deborah, a
5 And she
6 And she sent and called
7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 ¶And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11 Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out
15 And the Lord
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 ¶And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a
19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

Hands-on: Pentax K-30 reviewPocket-lint
Pentax announced the Pentax K-30 DSLR back in May, but now, just ahead of the UK launch, we've managed to grab some hands-on time with the new weatherproof camera to see what all the fuss is about ahead of a full review of a final production sample in the next couple of weeks.
The main talking point, aside from the actually performance of the camera, is that the K-30 is weatherproof - as seen on the existing K-5 and K-7 models. Featuring 81 seals, the K-30 promises to be dust and cold proof, happy down to temperatures of -10C.
That's handy, considering the great British summer we are having, and means that thanks to a series of seals and guards your new camera isn't going to get water it in.
The SD card slot is sealed, the battery case is sealed, and if you opt for the weatherproof lens kit when you buy the K-30 even that is sealed, making sure no moisture is going to get in.
But it's not just about a lot of rubber, the side affect to all this weatherproofing is that the camera features a tougher metal skeleton inside to make sure the camera does not flex enough to break that seal, and that means you'll end up with a camera that can take a bit of beating on your next adventure.
Aside from the tough shell, the K-30 features decent-sized indents on the chassis to give good purchase, and an easy to use button and dial configuration that shouldn't confuse. Live view is offered via the 3-inch 921k-dot display around the rear.
For those who don't want the burden of having to rely on an external flashgun the K-30 features one, but Pentax has put the in-built flash on a much higher setting than we've seen on Canon and Nikon and that means you should get a more even light when using it rather than the usual deer caught in headlights look.
Open up the battery and you'll reveal not only a rechargeable lithium battery that gives you around 500 shots per charge, but also- with the optional accessory - the K-30 can take four AA batteries that will give you around 150 shots. That's great if you are running low on power, or in the middle of nowhere and not able to recharge your battery. It's a really clever idea. We like it a lot.
Inside and the camera sports a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor (23.7 x 15.7mm, so APS-C format) which features Pentax's sensor shift type Shake Reduction.
Not only does this give you assistance in lower light or at long zooms, but the SR mechanism also allows for features such as horizon correction and an Astrotracer mode to aid you when shooting stars with the accessory O-GPS1 unit.
Boosting the Pentax K-30's credentials are a glass prism finder, offering near 100 per cent FOV, 11-point (9 cross-type) autofocusing, as well as, Pentax claims, a new AF algorithm with a select-area function which will track a moving object as it moves out of a pre-selected focus area.
You'll be able to shoot JPEG images at up to six frames a second, with a max shutter speed of 1/6000 sec. The Prime M imaging engine will offer a normal ISO shooting range of ISO 100 to ISO 12800, expandable up to 25600, with Pentax claiming low noise imaging, something we'll have to test when we review this new camera.
Full-HD video capture is offered, at 30fps, along with a range of auto and scene modes to help you get the shot you want, as well as a range of digital filters for several quirky shooting options. You'll be able to up that to 60fps if you are happy to drop the resolution to 720p.
The Pentax K-30 will be available in three colours, Crystal White, Crystal Blue and the traditional Classic Black. We've got to say, the black model looks a little bland alongside the blue and white models.
In the hand and the results are actually rather good, with the camera locking on focus quickly and being responsive in our very quick hands-on play.
As you can see from the test shots the skin tones are good, and the level of detail crisp.
While Pentax won't be the first choice for many when it comes to their next or first DSLR, the combination of a great sensor - it's the same sensor as the K-5, which is probably the best use of that 16MP sensor in any camera - and the weatherproofing means this is one to consider seriously, especially if you are an outward-bound type of person.
And hey, any camera that makes us look good, gets a gold star from us.
The body-only price is £599.99 (all colours) and there will be various kit deals available, the standard DA L 18-55mm kit at £649.99 with various options thereafter.

Flanker Ofisa Treviranus will start for London Irish in Sunday's Premiership clash against Gloucester at Madejski Stadium.
Flanker Ofisa Treviranus will start for London Irish in Sunday's Premiership clash against Gloucester at Madejski Stadium.
The Samoa international will play alongside Blair Cowan and Kieran Low in the back row. George Skivington and Ian Gough will partner in the second row with Matt Parr, Jimmy Stevens and CJ Van Der Linde in the front row.
Tomás O'Leary and Ian Humphreys will form the half back combination and Eamonn Sheridan and Fergus Mulchrone will continue to play together in the centre. Alex Lewington returns to the back three to play alongside Topsy Ojo and James O'Connor.
London Irish Director of Rugby, Brian Smith said: "We've had a very good preparation for the match and we're looking forward to our supporters coming out in numbers to see us at home on Sunday.
"The players are ready to go and we expect a fierce battle with Gloucester in every department."
Meanwhile, Gloucester's director of rugby Nigel Davies has opted not to change his starting line-up following last weekend's hard fought victory over Worcester Warriors.
The 12-6 win over the Warriors at Kingsholm moved the Cherry and Whites up to ninth place in the table, and Gloucester will now be looking to finish 2013 on a winning note.
The only changes to Gloucester's matchday squad from last weekend see Will James and Gareth Evans come in for Tom Hicks and Akapusi Qera respectively amongst the replacements.
Form: London Irish have slipped to five straight Aviva Premiership Rugby defeats since beating Harlequins 18-13 at Madejski Stadium in round 5, the Exiles have not been victorious at Reading in the Premiership since that encounter. Gloucester Rugby ended a five game losing run in the Premiership with their 12-6 win over Worcester at Kingsholm on Sunday. Gloucester's solo away victory in the tournament since early February was 22-16 at Newcastle on 29th September. Both Premiership fixtures between the clubs last season were won by the away side on the day, whilst Gloucester have won on their last two visits to Madejski Stadium in all competitions.
The teams:
London Irish: 15 James O'Connor, 14 Topsy Ojo, 13 Fergus Mulchrone, 12 Eamonn Sheridan, 11 Alex Lewington, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Tomás O'Leary, 8 Blair Cowan, 7 Ofisa Treviranus, 6 Kieran Low, 5 Ian Gough, 4 George Skivington (c), 3 CJ Van Der Linde, 2 Jimmy Stevens, 1 Matt Parr.

Salba Smart Organic Raw Whole Chia Seeds is the richest whole food source of Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber found in nature. Why should I eat Salba Smart Organic Raw Whole Chia Seeds? Salba Smart Organic Raw Whole Chia Seeds is a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. Richer in protein and Omega-3s than Chia, and higher in fiber than flaxseed, Salba is a functional food that can be enjoyed daily to help manage blood sugar levels, to help reduce the risks of diseases such as heart disease, and to help reduce appetite and increase satiety. Gram for gram, a 12g serving of Salba provides: 8x more Omega-3's than salmon 25% more dietary fiber than flax 30% more antioxidants than blueberries 15x more magnesium than broccoli 7x more antioxidants than oranges 6x more calcium than milk 3x more iron than spinach 3x more fiber than oats How do I use Salba? Use Salba much like flax. Salba is a taste-neutral, functional ingredient that can be incorporated into any recipe or meal. Unlike other whole grains, Salba does not need to be ground before use. Salba grain is frequently added to cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, soups, sandwiches, salads, smoothies and baked goods. It can also be found in everyday foods such as salsa, pretzels, baked potato crisps, tortillas, tortilla chips, baby foods, and baked goods. How is Salba different from Chia? Salba and Chia are from the same species - Salvia hispanica L. - but while Salba is composed of two distinct registered varieties (Sahi Alba 911 & 912), Chia is made up of many different and unregistered wild strains of the species, the nutritional consistency of which can vary greatly. It's a little like comparing a bottle of Cabernet from a single grape variety to table wine made from a number of different grapes: both are 'red wine', but the quality and profile of each is quite different. Salba is grown only under strictly controlled conditions in Peru. Due to the resulting nutritional consistency, Salba is the only variety of Salvia hispanica L. that has undergone intensive peer reviewed clinical research with proven beneficial results1. Chia research has confirmed that it can not claim the same clinically proven health benefits2. Salba is white and blends easily into almost any food. Chia seeds are mostly black. Salba has more Omega 3's, protein, potassium, calcium and iron than Chia. The following are some easy ways to incorporate Salba into your daily diet: Sprinkling (whole or ground): Cereal - sprinkle over the top after adding milk Sandwiches - sprinkle grain onto spread (so it doesn't fall off) Salads - sprinkling Salba over the top of your salad dressing adds a nice crunch Eggs - sprinkle over the top of eggs prepared your favorite way Mixing (whole or ground): Cereal - mixed in hot cereal before or after cooking Sandwiches - mixed in your favorite sandwich spread Salads - mixed in your favorite salad dressing Smoothies - mix into your favorite smoothie Eggs - mix in your omelets or scrambles before cooking Soups - mix in your favorite soup to thicken Sauces - mix in any sauce to thicken Baking (whole or ground):Replace the 1/6 flour in any recipe with ground Salba Add whole grain to any recipe 1T Whole grain Salba + 1/4 cup of water = 1 egg (stir Salba to prevent clumping, blend gel for best results) Enhance your muffins, breads, cookies, meatloaf, pie crusts, etc. with Salba! Try nature's perfect whole food, Salba, today and enrich your body and well being with Omega-3, fiber, protein, calcium, iron and many more nutrients. The possibilities for the uses for Salba Smart are endless, so get creative with your recipies! Salba - A Labor of LoveFor the past 15 years, the visionaries behind Salba have been perfecting the balance of science and agriculture necessary to produce Nature's Healthiest Whole Food. We are passionate about providing only the highest quality product to our customers. Here are just a few of the things that make Salba special: Salba is farmed in the planet's most optimal climate for the crop: the fertile soils of Central and South America. Salba is cultivated using drip-irrigation, ensuring an even dispersal of water over the entirety of the crop, just as the ancients did. Salba is an heirloom crop, which means that only the most nutrient dense seeds are harvested and re-planted to continually yield the most nutrient dense whole food on the planet. Soil is rigorously tested to find the most ideal locations for the next planting. Salba is harvested at full maturity, guaranteeing the seeds contain the highest density of nutrients. Other purveyors of similar grains or seeds will often harvest early to produce more crops and turn greater revenue. That's not our style. Salba (salvia Hispanica L) is the subject of numerous clinical studies that support its efficacy. Salba is the subject of numerous clinical studies that guarantee its efficacy. More Than Just a Grain...Salba is an amazingly rich whole food source naturals Omega 3 fatty acids and fiber. Every serving of Salba provides over 3,600mg of Omega-3s and over 6g of dietary fiber. Salba has less than 0.5 net carbohydrates per serving. Gram for gram, Salba has more calcium than whole milk, more iron than spinach and more magnesium than broccoli. It's all- natural, has no trans-fat, is gluten free, has almost no carbohydrates and is certified Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Kosher and Vegan. Salba is the only ancient seed for which there are acute and long-term human nutritional studies. Salba has been investigated at the Risk Factor Modification Center at St. Michaels Hospital, University of Toronto, Canada, by Dr. Vladimir Vuksan, Associate Professor of Endocrinology and Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, in randomized, acute and long-term studies. Clinical results indicate the great health potential of Salba as a functional food, and is the subject of ongoing study in the field of cardiovascular health.

Skip to comments.Nielsen: iPhone 4 Fails to Stave Off Android Invasion
Posted on 10/06/2010 9:44:25 AM PDT by SmokingJoe
The last time Nielsen declared Android to be the most popular smartphone operating system in the United States, Google's victory was incomplete. Apple hadn't launched the iPhone 4 yet, and sales were bound to spike in the months that followed.
But here we are, two months later, and Nielsen has once again found that more people bought Android phones in the last six months than any other platform.
Indeed, Apple's iPhone sales spiked in July, which was the first full month of iPhone 4 sales. Nielsen found that 26 percent of people who bought smartphones between February and July got an iPhone, compared to 21 percent between January and June. In August's survey, recent iPhone purchases accounted for 25 percent of the market.
Android, meanwhile, grabs more of the market every month. By August, Android phones accounted for 32 percent of all smartphones sold in the last six months.
Big deal, you might say. Android phones are sold by all four major carriers, and the iPhone is only on AT&T. Fair point, I suppose, but during the last two survey periods, the iPhone and Research in Motion's Blackberry phones are neck-and-neck, following a sharp decline for RIM. A multi-carrier approach does not guarantee dominance.
Still, there's no denying that the iPhone would see huge gains in market share if it ever stopped being exclusive to AT&T. In all likelihood, that won't happen until at least next year. Meanwhile, Microsoft hopes to disrupt the status quo with Windows Phone 7, and I wouldn't totally count out WebOS, now that HP is running the show.
(Excerpt) Read more at pcworld.com ...
AT&T must have gotten a really good contract with Apple. I'm surpsied they haven't gone to t-mobile yet at least it would require almost no additional engineering. Anyone have any thoughts?
I'm one waiting for Apple to get the Iphone on Verizon. My company provides me with a Blackberry on AT&T - which is my prime reason for 1) wanting an Iphone, and 2) not wanting AT&T.
As for GOOGLE - I don't give a smelly Obama.
As a monolithic company, for Apple - It's a real resource sync to support all the different carriers. With Android it works the other way around. All the different carriers support Android.
Nothing great. And Google is BAD.
I miss my Windows smart phone, but alas, there is no replacement with my carrier and no access to a iPhone (MT).
AT&T did purchase my carrier - Alltel - but our cell towers need massive upgrades.
I love my android. I use it for everything, e-mail, text, g-mail, appointments, and the camera if great!
Now the cell service isn't that great but I text more than call anyway.
I thought Verizon bought Alltel?
Why is marketshare such a big deal?
Seriously. If I'm a phone vendor who wishes to address some (partial) segment of the available phone market, and I can sell all the phones I can produce into that segment, why does it matter if that means I have 100%, 50%, 10% of the overall market?
Apple sells high-end and mid-high gear. It does not address the low-end and low-mid markets. So it will never own the marketshare that the other vendors crave.
So if Apple is selling every iPhone it produces, who gives a godd@mn what that means in terms of marketshare?
Some days it seems to me that the "Mine is bigger than yours is" mentality so common among sales people has corrupted our thinking to the point where we think, not only that "more is better", but "enough is insufficient".
If Apple were losing money and their stock price was tanking and nobody was buying their products, that's a different story. But in fact they are extremely successful.
It seems to me we've lost our vision of what "business success" means.
Same here. January 2011?
Because smart phones are miniature computers, so market share helps determine how many software vendors will want to make software for the platform, which in turn helps determine how much software is available, which helps drive desirability, which then perpetuates market share.
It's just like the rest of the software business. If you're going to make a widget, but you only have the resources to develop and test for one platform you need to pick wisely. And unless that widget targets a group that's skewed from the norm your best bet is probably to aim for the biggest market share.
Okay, understood. If people desert your widget because of low marketshare, and you go out of business, you have a point.
But if a company is wildly successful, addressing a small segment of the marketplace, why is that considered bad?
Sour grapes syndrome eh?
Exactly what segment you talking about here, dude?
Smartphones are smartphones. Both Androids and iPhones are selling to the same smartphone segment of the cell phone market, only Androids are busy clobbering the iPhones in sales even as we speak. Hey, I don't recall any of the Applebots coming up with this "market share doesn't matter" crap back a few months ago when the iPhone was clobbering Androids. In fact, Steve Jobs used to precede every speech of his with the fast rising market share figures for the iPhones.
And what is this talk about "and I can sell all the phones I can produce"?
The factories in China can only produce a limited number of iPhones? Since when?
Aren't the same Chinese contract manufacturers making both the iPhones and the Android? And can't they make as many iPhones as Apple could possible ever want even if Apple were selling a 100 million iPhones a month(which they are not of course)?
"It seems to me we've lost our vision of what "business success" means"
Its always been about bigger market share and ultimately bigger revenues and profits. That is why Toyota overtook Ford and GM in worldwide market share and then proceeded to overtake GM and Ford in revenues and sales as well..and that is why Microsoft has been making more profits than Apple does for decades..because Windows PC's sell vastly more units than Macs
It isn't, but it does narrow your survival path. What happens if that market goes away, either from you or in general. Think of it like being king of the two way text pagers 10 or 12 years ago, it was a narrow market but highly profitable, then texting became a checkbox feature on cellphones (even non-smart phones) and text pagers are now on the ash heap of history, had Research in Motion (who were the kings of two way text) not had the BlackBerry in the cell market when paging died they'd have died too.
And right now in the smart phone market there's the chance of over fractionalizing. Most tech markets have room for 2 or 3 competitors, right now there's 5 majors plus some clear also rans. 2 or 3 of those majors are toast, depending on how diverse their company is that company could be toast. One of the fun parts about markets in general and the tech market in particular is wildly successful today doesn't necessarily mean anything tomorrow. 18 months ago nobody though anything would knock iPhone off the top of the mountain, now the numbers make it pretty clear iPhone is no longer on the top of the mountain.
Coming soon!
Even Captain Picard uses an Android phone:
> One of the fun parts about markets in general and the tech market in particular is wildly successful today doesnt necessarily mean anything tomorrow. 18 months ago nobody though anything would knock iPhone off the top of the mountain, now the numbers make it pretty clear iPhone is no longer on the top of the mountain.
I was frankly astonished that an Apple product would ever be "on the top of the mountain" in terms of marketshare. Unless they are defining a whole new market, they are always a smaller player, at the high-end of price/quality, and seem happy there. Even when they start out as the Big Player marketshare-wise, they eventually must yield to the mass-market low-end players, in terms of number of units sold.
That is a riskier position to play, for sure.
Well, at least you made it very clear where you're coming from. Thanks!
They're still on top with the iPod, never really figured out why, they weren't first the market, and there's a lot of stuff about them that keeps me away from them (the iTunes interface and relative price being high on the list), but they're still sitting pretty on top of that heap. Markets can be really hard to analyze, I'm just as unsure why iPhone lost it's top seat. And I have no idea what the next 18 months holds for the pad market.
But I do know developers looking to make software for these platforms will be paying close attention to market share, trying to get the biggest possible audience for their product.
Apple is rumored to have a Verizon phone in the works. That could be a game-changer for them.
I know in my own case, AT&T is worthless where I live and work, but Verizon rocks. If I were in the market for a smartphone, that makes all the difference.
Apple has a 2GB iPod Shuffle, an 8 and 16 GB iPod Nano, an 8, 32 and 64 GB iPod Touch and a 160GB iPod Classic. They have a product for every niche within the mp3 market and several price points. Anyone willing to buy one of these products has it with no other prices attached or limitations due to another company.
There is the 8GB iPhone 3GS, and the 16 and 32GB iPhone 4. All come with a limitation (in the US) to one carrier. They also only have one form factor.
In comparison, Android has phones on every major carrier and many of the smaller ones that now come in the three major form factors for smartphone, all touch screen, slide out QWERTY and candybar. There are a variety of price points and specials run with them too. To my knowledge there has never been a sale on iPhones. In comparison you can get major discounts and deals on Android phones from day one. I believe the Samsung Vibrant could be purchased for a dollar when it came out from Amazon. That is much more attractive than the $200 the equivalent iPhone would run you.
It would be very hard for them to maintain the lead in the market versus a foe like this. Some limitations are likely to always remain, there will probably never be a hardware keyboard iPhone for instance. And they won't be offering nearly the number of models of phones as Android has on the market. Although I would guess sales of the iPhone far exceed the combined sales of any 3 models of Android phone by one manufacturer or probably even the best selling 3 Android phones.
I've always had 2 basic problems with iPods, you have to use their software to load the thing, and they all run a good 10 to 20% more expensive than the competition. I got a 32GB Samsung P3 that works just like a USB drive when it comes to loading software, has a speaker (pretty good one even), can play games (though I don't care), has 5 "on the fly" playlists plus how ever many "permanent" playlists as you want to load, and it was $50 less than any 32GB iPod. This is why I don't understand the iPod's market dominance, at any level you can find better products for cheaper. The biggest thing I see pushing their market share is they've managed to become synonymous with "MP3 player", kind of like Kleenix, Q-Tip and Xerox used to be, I think a lot of people don't even look at anything other than iPods.
Which isn't to say your analysis of why the iPhone slipped is wrong, just to say it should be true of the iPod too. I think the big thing is smartphone competition came on early enough and hard enough to prevent iPhone from becoming synonymous with smartphone so people looking into the market aren't self limiting their language.
To your point:
"you have to use their software to load the thing..."
it ain't necessarily so (apologies to Gershwin).
For years I've used www.Winamp.com as my music manager--no iTunes!
Winamp is:
*easy to use
*nowhere NEAR the resource hog that iTunes is
*and fun!
Try it!
That's still extra software. I prefer to just use explorer, copying the files as a I chose. Frankly WinAmps synch function kinda sucks, I don't know if it's better or worse than iTunes since I only have 3rd hand on iTunes, but I tried it and hated it (my MP3 can use synch but doesn't have to). I still like WinAmp as a player, especially after adding Dynamic Library so I don't have to put up with their horrible way of sorting my music, but as a synch tool no way.
I looked up the Samsung player. Interestingly although it was marked down to $260 and so about $50 cheaper than the most equal product from Apple the iPod Touch. However, it was marked down from $329.
Another aspect is that the major competitors in the smartphone market are more well known. Google, Motorola, Verizon etc are well known brands. They also have the money to get behind their product with advertisements. Other than maybe a few Zune commercials I don't think I have ever seen an mp3 player ad outside of Apple's. Creative was in the mp3 market before Apple, but didn't have the money to dominate it like Apple did. And despite some offerings from others now, they are like you said too late and can't compete with the ecosystem, which I imagine more people like than dislike.
Amazon? They always "mark down" from some price you can never find, the most I ever saw it listed for was just under $300, I paid $250. It's a heck of a nice player.
True, nobody but Zune and iPod ever advertises. I did a lot of research for my MP3 buy, because I knew I wanted a 32GB and I knew that was going to be fairly pricey, and I don't drop that kind of money without research. Good ol C|Net. And the first thing I learned doing my research was that there were about 10 times as many MP3 players as I thought. And then of course I wind up getting one that's not even intended for the American market and can't (at least earlier this year) be bought brick and mortar in America.
I am an Apple fan and enjoy their products. The only smart phone I like other than the 4th gen iPhone is the HTC Evo. I like Apple approach, i.e. we support the phone, you support the service. If I have an issue with my iPhone, it's either Apple or AT&T with very little finger pointing. With all of these android OS phones coming out, it's a mess to figure out who to go to for support. Google can care less about the OS and if I have an Android OS issue, how do I get it resolved? It's because of this that I remain a avid Apple product person. This month I'm gonna buy an iPad, NOT a knock off iPad.
Good news to me...my company makes the semiconductors for cell towers. :^)
AT&T bought most of the Alltel areas. My area? Montana.
We have little GSM coverage, it's 99% CDMA.
AT&T has to upgrade towers statewide to support GSM.
And, since we're the 4th largest state in the Union, it's a fairly big job...

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The forest is the scene for some important issues being addressed at this time. These issues will effect how the forest is managed now and in the future. District Ranger Mesia Nyman from the Ferron Ranger Station was on hand on Nov. 12 to address the Emery County Public Lands Council. She described how the wild and scenic river designations work on the forest land. She described the three designations as being wild, scenic and recreation and their order of development. A wild designation is almost like a wilderness. Each nomination will be looked at for its characteristics. A river would move from eligible, to suitable, to being nominated and then designated. In the eligibility process all of the characteristics are addressed. The forest service has asked the county to be involved as well and to go over each of the rivers or streams deemed eligible. The forest service is currently at this time reviewing what the county has given them.
Most of the rivers and streams will drop out and a few will go on to suitable consideration. This is the important stage where the social and economic uses are brought into play as well as the water users rights. More input from the county will also be asked for at this stage. Nyman stated that she would be surprised if more than one or two made it past this stage. Those streams designated as suitable would go through the NEPA process. This would include public hearings and public input and an appeal period.
The federal land agencies have been required by law to look at wild and scenic rivers. The forest service has been threatened with a law suit if they did not begin to look at wild and scenic designations. It takes approximately a year for the NEPA process and then those rivers nominated would be submitted to Congress for designation. Nyman mentioned that where she worked in Wyoming had two rivers nominated and they have been sitting in Congress for 15 years without designation.
Craig Johansen pointed out that when a river is nominated that it is managed as if it has been designated. Nyman said she doubted we would have any wild rivers in our area and that with a scenic designation roads and development and upstream dams wouldn't change much. There are 16 creeks on the forest service land which are being looked at.
Nyman brought up another forest service matter and went on to discuss the Muddy Creek Lodge-Sky Haven Resort by Ferron Reservoir. The lodge is in poor shape and the forest service has contacted the owner about the matter. The forest service wants it to be a functioning and viable business to attract customers and be a safe place for people. The owner will either need to bring the property back into working order or the forest service will terminate the permit.
The property is in disrepair and hasn't been open for business for four years. The owner has been notified and has until the end of the year to inform the forest service of what they will do with the property. It was not known if the structure is worth saving; Commissioner Hatch said it is his opinion that they would need a whole new structure.
Nyman said the forest service just wants a safe attractive place for people to use or they want it gone. She mentioned they have been carrying the permit without the property meeting the standards for too long. If this permit is terminated then someone else can go through the permitting process.
The property was used for snowmobile trips but now the cabins are falling down. Kirk Johansen wondered if someone could purchase the property and build on it which would give them the incentive to keep things up, but Nyman pointed out that the forest service land cannot be sold but the leases can be anywhere from 10-50 years in length.
If the problem is not taken care of then the structures will probably be removed, reported Nyman. Commissioner Hatch pointed out there are a lot of opportunities with the lodge; like snowmobiling, cross country skiing and activities of that sort. There are also summer homes in the area of the lodge and a camp ground. The owner can sell the buildings or just do nothing and the forest service would remove them and send the owner a bill for doing so. The owners can also remove the buildings themselves if that is the route they choose.
Nyman was not sure where the process would end but will keep the council informed on what happens next with the buildings.
Nyman mentioned the forest travel plan next, she said it is 12 years old and says what is open and what isn't and which routes are trails or roads. The Duck Fork to Skyline road or trail known as the Georges Fork trail has been listed on the travel map for years as a trail, but people have been driving it with vehicles. This summer the forest service decided to narrow it back to a trail which is what the map said it was. Numerous complaints have arisen over this decision and the decision has been made to do NEPA on Georges Fork Trail. One possibility might be to close the trail closer to Duck Fork to make the closure more effective topographically. Public input will be taken on the issue from both the Emery and the Sanpete sides.
This same problem exists with Little's Fork, people have been driving it with full size vehicles. A gate and boulders have been installed to turn it back into a trail and there has been an uprising over that as well. The decision has been made to do NEPA on Little's Fork as well. The public input processes on these roads and trails will begin this winter. The local OHV club also works to maintain trails in these areas. Part of the problem with the closure of Little's Fork was a couple of miles of road which was legally open was also closed.
The forest service also spent a lot of time this summer closing user made trails in the Potter's Pond area. Nyman said they are trying to find those types of trails and close them up, but they are having a hard time catching up.
The roads analysis process is continuing on a road by road basis starting with the Muddy Creek drainage. Nyman said they went out with the special interests about a month ago to look at roads. They are gathering ideas and putting together a document with the proposals that will either leave open, close or change designations. There isn't anything specific yet, but the information gathering process has begun and will cover the whole forest. Nyman said the major arterial roads have already been looked at in the roads analysis and the Level 2 or less roads will be looked at now on a watershed by watershed basis.
Nyman informed the council that the local OHV club has requested a tour permit for an ATV jamboree. One of the ATV club representatives said they are trying to bring people into the area for various rides throughout the county fair week. These will be guided tours and some will just last for a few hours and others will be overnight trips. Riders can either choose a mountain or a desert tour depending on their interests. She also mentioned the ATV Jamboree held in Richfield every year which brings $1 million into the local economy.
Nyman reported that they will probably issue this tour permit. Drilling is continuing in the Middle Mountain area and the gas company has improved the surface of the Little Joes road. When the Miller's Flat road closes into snow the road where Cottonwood and Little Joes connects will be gated. The company doing the drilling will be out by the end of December and until then they will keep the road open.
Nyman reported that drilling permits have been requested at the top of Castle Valley Ridge and the forest service will be doing NEPA on that. A couple of miles of road along the ridge would need to be constructed and this is in a designated roadless area; the analysis and a decision will be made on the matter.
Nyman said they are sending a letter out to all of the permittees explaining the situation on the forest and the conditions they must deal with in the aftermath of the drought. The letter will read. "We are at the end of the fourth year of a very serious drought. It is well known this has been one of the driest summers for southeastern Utah in the last 100 years. Conditions across the district varied widely with some allotments in better condition than last year following a late killing frost. In other areas, vegetation did not grow or only minimally. Our studies indicate forage production was generally from 40 to 60 percent of average above 9,000 feet. Black grass bugs were found widely across the distict in Kentucky bluegrass and wheatgrass plants that further depleted growth. Although there was a report of many grasshoppers in Upper Joes Valley the feeling is this population never developed to the extent they did in western Utah. It was necessary for several cattle allotments to haul water at the start of the grazing season as most ponds were dry. As the summer progressed, springs and many streams dried up and available water was greatly depleted and livestock were trailing excessive distances to water. Growth accumulated over the past several years, left to provide soil protection, was used. Riparian areas were generally used more than in past years as they provided the only green vegetation and water. Many of you reduced your herd size and/or delayed entering your allotments in addition to reductions specified by the district. This all helped reduce the impacts from livestock grazing; however, even with those changes most of you were asked to remove your livestock early.
"Hopefully, we will have normal, or better, precipitation next year. However, even with a normal year the vegetation needs time to recover from the previous four years of drought. It may be that reductions in time or number will be necessary next grazing season, and maybe more, in order for the plants to recover. Please take this into account as you make business plans for your cattle or sheep operation. Areas where non-use might be necessary, are lower elevation areas where many plants died or did not grow. If the drought continues, we anticipate non-use on most allotments."
Nyman explained that nothing is firm yet and all allotments will be looked at individually. One rancher in the audience was concerned that reductions like these are likely to put them out of business. He mentioned that instead of letters the forest service should go out on the allotments with the permittees and look at them.
Nyman said that is what they intend to do, because some allotments are in better condition than others.
The rancher also mentioned that you can't fool Mother Nature and that when it rained down by Emery plants that hadn't grown all summer were pretty and green.
The Emery County Public Lands Council is a co-sponsor of the Quivira Rangeland Conference which will be held on Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at the Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab. This conference will address survival tools for today's ranches.

Skip to comments.Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?
Posted on 05/13/2012 12:12:29 PM PDT by KantianBurke
One day last summer, Anne and her husband, Miguel, took their 9-year-old son, Michael, to a Florida elementary school for the first day of what the family chose to call summer camp. For years, Anne and Miguel have struggled to understand their eldest son, an elegant boy with high-planed cheeks, wide eyes and curly light brown hair, whose periodic rages alternate with moments of chilly detachment. Michaels eight-week program was, in reality, a highly structured psychological study less summer camp than camp of last resort.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
This was a sad and creepy article.
There's a bunch of stupid comments on the site such as he'll do well in the corporate world to psychopathy is a variation where the successful ones are republican presidential candidates and the stupid ones end up in jail. Really stupid liberals.
It's safe to say "Michael" is going to cause plenty of harm in the near future.
I am of the opinion that "first born syndrome" comes directly from the parents who dote hand and foot on the first born. They don't teach him to be a well behaved child and to obey his parents. The child is allowed to get away with behavior that is not tolerated when the child gets older.
Then, when the next child comes along, there is a sudden switch. The parents attention is now on the new born and the oldest is expected to behave but has never been corrected or taught to behave. The child develops a deep seated resentment, especially for being forced to grow up all of a sudden.
The corrective action is the rapid application of a switch anytime a tantrum starts, the kid acts out or disobeys. However, since the child was not taught discipline from the beginning, I doubt the parents will apply discipline now.
The symptoms described in the article are way beyond that sort of rivalry. These individuals are clearly dangerous now and more so later.
While certainly, some people just aren't "wired right," it makes you wonder how much spiritual structure there is for some of these kids in their households.
Any spoiled child is a Psychopath....
America loves to spoil their children generally..
Proof: Republicans running the inventor of Romney-care against the inventor of Dohbama-Care..
America spoils the children they do not murder thru abortion..
Dohbama(biden) is just punishment for doing that..
A Psychopath as President and Vice President..
who fills the Executive Branch with other Psychopaths..
Many parents send their troublesome juniors into Boy Scouts (and other youth programs). I can put names on these guys ~ Hoon, .............. ~ dozens of them! One boy had an additional blood pressure problem and he'd have to run in place most of the time.
And I've seen them just "grow up".
Not once did we have a cutting.
My impression has been that these kids are all a problem to everybody in their growing years, but not necessarily so once they are adults ~ but some are. Paul Baker pops into my mind! And some others ~ mostly their parents ~ the interstate car thieves, the mobsters, the girls who ran away with the carnival.......
Makes one wonder if some haven't dabbled in the occult and some children might be demon possessed.
That's a legal question ~ I gather professionals in this field have to pay attention to age just to avoid malpractice suits by crazy parents who thought their kids could be cured instantly.
My aunt and uncle had two children; the oldest was the nicest person one could meet while the youngest was a terror diving into drugs and sex. Same environment with the same loving parents who never exhibited any different treatment for either of the kids. My aunt and uncle were constantly running off to see psychologists and therapists to no avail.
Sometimes it can be the parents but I'm convinced that sometimes it can just as easily be the mixture. Parents simply can't be blamed for everything.
That might be the case. Regardless, I'll purchase some more ammo. Can't be too careful.
Same with my sister. She has 5 kids that run the whole range.
At the end of the article he says, why don't more people do bad things? And the answers he offers are because they are inhibited, by empathy, by worries of isolation, by fears of getting caught.
I'll throw in my own two cents and say part of it is these people believe they are masters of their own lives; they don't believe in God or authority. Why should they listen to anyone? How many times in people's lives would they do things, but for the fear of God?
Back in the day it was worse being the firstborn, easier being second and third, we could watch and find out how the "game" is played to stay out of parents line of fire. The youngest was the spoiled "baby" of the family.
Little FYI, applying the switch at the slightest provocation can be bad for a child as well. My father would spank me (and I'm talking a volley of hard spanks meant to hurt for hours, not a simple swat) for the slightest cross (hell, he spanked me once because I was backing my tricycle into the drain pipe on our house. Please, explain to me what harm I was doing), and there was never any explanation of why what I had done was wrong or what harm it had caused.
Essentially, I grew up almost afraid of my own shadow, because I never knew what would get me spanked or yelled at due to never knowing what my father considered wrong, and while I wasn't always scared of my father, I was never comfortable around him (part of the drive to get out on my own was to finally get out from under his control). I believe in discipling a child at an early age, but there has to be logic and reason behind it so the child understands what's going on, and doesn't end up scared to death of the very people who are supposed to protect him.
Let's not ignore our search for the Medieval diagnosis to explain Psychopathy: A mother who consorted with the devil.
Some people are just plain evil. Witch doctors and psychologists (same thing really) try to come up with reasonable explanations like possession by a demon or brain chemicals out-of-balance, but these are just attempts to pretend that evil doesn't exist. Some people are just plain evil from their earliest years. I've known a couple of kids like that. None of their brothers or sisters were troublemakers. The parents did their best. The kids were just plain vicious and cruel and destructive. No amount of discipline or love or anything made the slightest difference. Fortunately they are fairly rare. They invariably end up dead or in prison or more rarely become President or Speaker of the House.
Best book on the subject is Robert Hare's "Without Conscience". What you're dealing with is a birth defect entirely like Down Syndrome, basically a modeling facility which all normal people have, but psychopaths don't. And it's very obvious at a very early age. Hare says there is no such thing as a parent of a psychopathic child who wouldn't gladly hand the kid over to some government agency at age seven or eight.
Good luck with any castle doctrine, stand you grand law, make my day law, etc etc, should you ever gun down a 9 year old. Hint: Things will not go well for you.
There are several versions of one gene that can create all sorts of problems ~ including iron deficiency anemia, or pernicious anemia.
Gene A simply gives you anomalous heme ~ with the result that you end up dumping half your iron intake down the toilet as urine. You will invariably have a Vitamin B-12 deficiency unless you consume enormous quantities of meat or sublingual Vitamin B 12 pills (available at Wal-Mart $5.00 a bottle). Remember crazy old aunt Betty who got those shots once a month? They don't do the shots anymore.
Gene B is a bit more serious and you will have the same iron loss, and skin problems, and possibly some psychological problems. This one is fortunately far less common.
Then there's Gene C and it has a sort of psychotic behavior. Only 500 individuals with this gene have been found in Scandinavia. SImple injections of carbohydrates (sugar) will alleviate most psychotic episodes ~ assuming you can catch them as they run off across the tundra.
However, when it comes to shedding iron in the urine, these guys shed it in photoreactive form and it can turn PURPLE or VIOLET.
Modern science is finding murders and violent people have the same brain structure-missing key chemical areas in the brain normal people have.
I'm not giving these people a pass just saying what is being found.
One thing that is consistent in the liberal personality is a lack of real shame and remorse on a personal level.
It's all fake group emotion, based on "narratives" where political correctness dictates when to feel rage and hate and when to feel at ease or even elated as a group think process. The ends justifies the means.
This is why crazy rules like "zero tolerance" where the innocent are punished equally to the guilty or wealth redistribution, which is theft from one to "give" to another, or p.c. diversity denial of equal rights, which is race hate and discrimination, make sense to liberals and makes them feel good.
They have no empathy, shame or remorse for the lives they wrecked but feel good because they are told to feel good about wrecking one in the name of another. Liberals who are leaders of the pack are manipulators like L in the story we read. That creepy homo guy Savage comes to mind. He can stand up against bullying and then, without an emotional clue, bully Christians who he hates.
This is a case way beyond "normal" child misbehavior. If they punished the dickens out of him for it, it probably wouldn't make a dent. I don't know all the technical terms, but the kid is off his rational bean and ought to be in an asylum before he does something that puts him on a gurney.
One of them is POTUS.
When My Son was small ( about 7 or 8 )..we lived next to a family with 3 sons who played with my son...next to them was a boy I can only describe as "weird"...His father was
a strict recluse and didnt allow His wife to talk to the neighbors..She was just as strange...
One day my son was playing with the 3 boys next door and 2 of the neighbor boys had som disagreement, and one boy chased His brother with a small stick..as they ran down the sidewalk the weird boy jumped up with his fist in the air and Yelled "Kill your Brother" "Kill your Brother"...
I thought that this kid will grow up and do someone great Harm...
But to take the attitude that psychopathy is untreatable because its genetic he shook his head thats not accurate. Theres a stigma that psychopaths are the hardest of the hardened criminals. My fear is that if we call these kids prepsychopathic, people are going to draw that inference: that this is a quality that cant be changed, that its immutable. I dont believe that. Physiology isnt destiny.
Psychopath and sociopath = monster. One you have that label, you have it for life, and you will become exactly as you are expected to be as an adult. That and on psychological drugs to boot.
Kids are quite capable of having a real mean streak to them. Their sizes maturing brains often keep them in check. They need guidance and people who can read them properly. The most important way is by example. Living by example.
On the same note, people grow up. I was an a-hole at 9 years old. Major league. And at 10, 11, 12, and 13. It wasn't the parent's fault. If they pushed harder against me, I would been even worse because I always had to win under any circumstance. Maybe not immediately, but eventually. I could almost have been this guy.
I grew up. Maybe Michael here grows up. His dad said he was a problem and grew up. Sometimes the best thing possible is for the kid to have a chance to be a man. Most boys genetically deep down want to be men.
Very sad. Imagine what it's like to be the parents of a little monster like that. Clearly these people are doing their best with a kid whose brain is wired up wrong.
Not all kids who have this wiring problem give you a warning by (for instance) barbecuing kittens. I had friends who were nearly beggared by a girl they adopted in infancy. They adopted three other children, another girl and two boys, and the kids grew up to be terrific people, just like the parents. But the girl was a terror. She never raised her voice, never misbehaved in school, always acted perfectly, but she was sweetly, politely evil. And she had the acting skills of the greatest actress on the stage. You would believe anything she said. She had cops, doctors, psychiatrists, and judges—hardened, experienced people—wrapped around her little finger.
I've known a couple of other people like that. One was a real bad seed, a beautiful girl who as a teen enjoyed accusing innocent men of child abuse and wrecking their lives.
A lot of psychopaths start behaving better when they get into their thirties. Some don't.
Yes, there's evil in the world. There is a devil in hell. Often he uses sickness to cause suffering, whether it's through cancer or through a person whose brain hasn't been wired up properly and then goes on to cause misery. But we can't put a bad nine-year-old child down as we would a dog whose brain was faulty. We have to try to do something to fix these kids.
EXACTLY. You never hear of this crap from Christian families. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Period.
That boy needs some extended psychiatric help, starting with a comprehensive examination searching for neurological defects. There is a whole collection of such things he *might* have, which quite commonly can be "dead before they hit the ground" lethal is untreated. If they *can* be treated.
It could be the equivalent of a precise epilepsy, juvenile strokes, a tumor, any number of congenital problems, you name it. He needs a CAT scan right from the start.
What this doesn't sound like is psychopathy or sociopathy. "Sitting him down and talking to him" at this point is just a time waster, and could get him killed.
Make the kid keep doing it until they get it right without telling them what it is they are doing wrong. That is so Zen. Zen educational theory is whack, Zen parenting is just scary.
I thought Ubama was older than nine?
Bingo. My thoughts exactly. Remove all animals and small children from the home and deal with the problem (of which the parents might be part and parcel.)
Sorry, the case I cited above in #34 was a wonderful Christ-centered family who raised three other kids without a problem but had one bad seed. Psychiatric problems are not just a case of sparing the rod. Did you read the whole article? MRIs can visualize deficits in these kids' brains. They're actually not formed right.
Judging from the contents of the article this isn't the run of the mill kid. This is one which exhibits extremely dangerous behavior up to and including remorseless violence. If he or any of his kind threaten me or my family I will defend myself and my loved ones. Period.
I just got rid of a roommate who was exactly the way you described. She was creepy -- everyone tensed up when she walked in -- yet outwardly she was pretty, articulate, & put together. But very childlike. And mean -- she had rages & engaged in spiteful behavior if she couldn't get her way. She absolutely terrorized me & the other person living with us. Told out-and-out lies to the community (i.e. other girl pinched her all over). If not psychopathic, she might be borderline.
Apparently she had been abused by a schizophrenic mother (who later died in an institution) & raised by her father, who was somewhat otherworldly himself. He remarried (& divorced) someone who was also slightly off. Lethal combination: crazy mom, passive dad.
I strongly see the biogenetic base in these children. Just yesterday I had Sabbath dinner with some friends whose precocious five-year-old exhibited disturbingly hostile behavior. Kept attacking his baby brother. The parents, though very nice, were a bit off & probably unaware. The home was very messy & chaotic.
Particularly since punishment is so ineffective as a behavioral tool.
Yes. Very good show on tv several days ago about the origins of evil. All these people had either a chemical imbalance or portions of their brain or were not producing chemicals in the part of the brain that produces compassion/empathy and so on. As you said the MRI's picked it right out.
I believe the parents re kidding themselves and putting the younger kids in danger forcing them to live with the older child. What will they do the day after he kills one of the other kids? I am the oldest child and probably id have a little of the first child syndrome since I was an only for almost 5 years but nothing like this! I used to hid his shoes so he couldn't go paces with us....not try to kill him.
Nope, I read the article and in this case it is the parents:
"Watching Anne ride herd on her two younger boys that afternoon, I found her to be brusque and no-nonsense. When Allan started running around the living room and then crashing into the sofa cushions, she spoke sharply: Allan! Stop it. (He did.) When Jake and Allan grew whiny about a shared toy, she arbitrated the dispute with a tone of patient exasperation familiar to most parents. Just let him play with it for five minutes, Allan, and then itll be your turn. And when she grew touchy about parenting strategies Anne favors structure and strict rules; Miguel is inclined to be lenient Miguel listened quietly, then conceded that his relaxed approach might be optimistic.
It certainly seemed so. As the night progressed, Michaels behavior grew more violent. At one point, while Michael was downstairs, Jake clambered goofily onto the computer chair and accidentally unpaused Michaels Pokémon video. Allan giggled, and even Miguel smiled affectionately. But the amusement was brief. Hearing Michael on the stairs, Miguel said, Uh oh! and whisked Jake out of the chair.
He wasnt fast enough. Seeing the video playing, Michael gave a keening scream, then scanned the room for the guilty party. His gaze settled on Allan. Grabbing a wooden chair, he hoisted it overhead as though to do violence but paused for several seconds, giving Miguel a chance to yank it away. Shrieking, Michael ran to the bathroom and began slamming the toilet seat down repeatedly. Dragged out and ordered to bed, he sobbed pitifully. Daddy! Daddy! Why are you doing this to me? he begged, as Miguel carried him to his room. No, Daddy! I have a greater bond with you than I do with Mommy! For the next hour, Michael sobbed and screamed, while Miguel tried to calm him. In the hall outside his room, Miguel apologized, adding that it was an unusually bad night.
What you saw, that was the old Michael, he continued. He was like that all day long. Kicking and hitting, slamming the toilet seat. But he also noted that Allan had provoked Michael, at one point taunting him for crying. He loves to poke at him when he can, Miguel said.
From the bedroom, Michael called out: He knows the consequences, so I dont know why he does it. I will hurt him.
Miguel: No you wont.
Michael: Im coming for you, Allan.
An hour later, after the boys were finally asleep, Miguel and I sat down at the kitchen table. Growing up, he said, he had also been a difficult child albeit not so problematic as Michael. A lot of parents didnt want me around their kids, because they thought I was crazy, he said, closing his eyes at the memory. I didnt listen to adults. I was always in trouble. My grades were horrible. I would be walking down the street and I would hear them say, in Spanish: Ay! Viene el loco! Here comes the crazy one.
According to Miguel, this antisocial behavior lasted until his late teens, at which point, he said, he grew up. When I asked what caused the change, he looked uncertain. You learn to pacify the rough waters, he said at last. It just happens. You learn to control yourself from the outside in.
The parents are, apparently unknowingly, using reinforcement to create Michael. He gets a ton of attention for acting "crazy", therefore you get more craziness. The father's a goof and the mom's a controller.
My former supervisor was like that. Outwardly sweet, a real southern belle, but an evil witch when she wanted to be. She would pit co-workers against each other and say contradictory things depending on who she was talking to. The worst was she would use things said in confidence against you. She reminded me of The Bad Seed girl or Single White Female. Really frightening to have to deal with.

I always like to give an award to the celebrity who does the most coke at an event or after an event and this time the winner was one of the stars of this very popular cable show based on books.

I think the next crew member assuming brooke is going to join will be a merman!!! That would be so cool man

I think the next crew member assuming brooke is going to join will be a merman!!! That would be so cool man
.Sig & Ava By Ravona
I think, there are 2 options:
1. merman/maid - yeah, pretty obvious. But, here Oda can get rid of all limits and make something really cool. Or weird.
2. normal human. No crazy design, no akuma no mi. Though stylish and smooth. Someone like an assasin or infiltrator - would be pretty useful in the Impel Down. Of course, ifthere will be such an arc.
Don't worry, be happy
the 9th member has to be a mermaid... Oda put that huge fish tank on the thousand sunny just for the purpose of having a mermaid crew member live in it. I mean what other real purpose would he have put it in the manga other than that one little joke about the shark eating all fish which would leave us with a unmentioned big aquarium that will just faze out of the series forever and I don't see Oda doing that. and I have a feeling it will end up being the first mermaid Luffy meets.
I have a doubt that this next crew would be weird just like chopper, franky, brooke and also robin..not just like before they entered the grand line, luffy just gathered normal humans but has super abilities like zoro, nami, usopp an sanji.
isnt it obvious that brook is joining them?
he's always wanted a musician and saved the best for last.....
