As Edgar Allen Poe, wrote in The Literati of 1850:
"There are very few points of classical scholarship which are not the common property of "the learned" … and in composing any book of reference recourse is unscrupulously and even necessarily had in all cases to similar books which have preceded… it is the practice of quacks to paraphrase page after page … preserving the spirit of the whole, its information…, while everything is so completely re-written as to leave no room for a direct charge of plagiarism…. he who, in availing himself of the labors of his predecessors (and it is clear that all scholars must …) who shall copy verbatim the passages to be desired… even if he fail to make direct acknowledgment of indebtedness — is unquestionably less of the plagiarist than the disingenuous and contemptible quack who wriggles himself, as above…"
As Poe noted "the design in any such compilation is … to make a useful school-book or book of reference" and, of the author, "the public, of course, [are] never caring a straw whether he be original." The Internet Encyclopaedia of Philosophy [IEP] is an incredibly useful 'book of reference' for the modern age and most of its articles are original contributions by specialized philosophers. It is however acknowledged on the site's 'About' page, "that there are temporary or 'proto articles'" that "have largely been adapted from older sources." I was unaware the site had recycled public domain material in this way when I chanced upon an entry on 'The Academy' by an 'anonymous author.' Something just struck me as odd, there was a reference to "the distinction laid down by Diogenes, and alluded to above" but no such allusion and then there were certain rather dated turns of phrase. And I got to wondering whether the material had been elsewhere before it went online as a 'temporary' IEP article in 2001.
The IEP entry is composed of two parts: the main section and a short piece titled 'views of the New Academy'. Upon a little investigation it appeared that this second section is pretty much identical with an article on the 'New Academy' found in 'Harper's dictionary of classical literature and antiquities' of 1896 as edited by one Harry Thurston Peck,. And I found a suitably placed reference to Diogenes Laertius and his threefold division of the Academy, and a very close match to the rest of IEP entry in Charles Anthon's 1842 'Classical Dictionary.' and his 1833 edition of John Lemprière's 'Bibliothecca Classica' (from whose revision his own Dictionary evolved). Now, I know the IEP is a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers whose very admirable goal is the sharing of knowledge. And I know that, legally, you can do what you please with public domain works. But, I must admit the question did occur: why would you copy, pretty much verbatim, from other people's work and not say where you copied it from? If the IEP entry is accurate then the student will, quite reasonably, not care a straw that it is stitched together from two articles published in the 19th century. And it would have been quite absurd for some 'quack' to have completely re-written the material just so its origins couldn't be traced. But it seems quite simple to state in online article X that the same incorporates text from public domain sources Y and Z. And what occurred to me was just that is was, well, 'bad form' to help your self to the work of others and give them no credit for their labours even if they are dead.
But then, as some research revealed, 'recycling' material, as the quotation from Poe suggests, is nothing new. Peck's Dictionary lifts its article on 'Academia' straight from Anthon too (it is also missing an allusion to Diogenes, but as the IEP includes a line straight from Anthon not found in Harpers one presumes the IEP researcher was working from both). O.M. Fernald, reviewing Peck's Dictionary for The American Journal of Philology back in 1897, said "it is not possible within these limits to review half a dozen important works of reference [and] that is what an adequate review of this volume would mean" and he has some harsh criticisms to make about Peck's willingness to help himself to the work of living authors simply because copyright laws fail to prohibit it. Still, Peck at least acknowledges that "when material was, in its original form, precisely suited to his purpose, he incorporated it without a change … [that] the greater part of his work was compilation rather than original exposition, [and]… if the completed work be found of service to the student of the classics, this result must be very largely due to the original sources whence so great a portion of the Dictionary is derived." This is rather more than can be said for Charles Anthon. As is noted by The North American Review in 1842: "One would infer, from the way in which [Anthon] speaks of his labours in the preface, that the articles had all been written by himself. This is very far from the case. Many, if not all the most important, are taken, – not merely compiled, but taken, in their very words, from other writers. Here and there a sentence is omitted, the arrangement slightly altered, or a phrase changed, for the purpose of interweaving a paragraph drawn from some other source. The references to the original authorities are also copied, apparently without verification … the book is any thing but a homogenous whole., it is diversified by styles as numerous as the authors in Dr Anthon's Library…" And indeed it was this very controversy about plagiarism that prompted Poe to write in Anthon's defence as above.
Anthon's entry on 'Academia' at least is not, it seems, taken whole and direct from anything else. Still it appears The history of philosophy: from the earliest times to the beginning of the present century; drawn up from Brucker's Historia critica philosophiae' by William Enfield (1791) was one of the books on Anthon's bookshelves. There remain a few turns of phrase – about "those followers of Plato, who taught the doctrine of their master without mixture or corruption" and those "which in some measure receded from the Platonic system without entirely deserting it" – that have dropped through time from a book published in 1791, via a number of learned hands, into a 'temporary' article published online in 2001.
Personally, I rather hope they don't get round to replacing it.

Iron Doesn't Last, I've Had ThreeI've LOVEd this flat iron. I wish more flat irons would have add ons that allow you to comb while flat-ironing your hair. I've purchased three Maxi-Glides over the years. They never-ever last! One side always shorts out and I end up with a Maxi-Glide flat iron that is useless. I loved my Maxi-glide so much that once it was broken I held it together with a velcro tie so that both sides of the iron would stay hot. I soon realized this was futile and every Maxi-Glide I purchased was just poorly made. I've moved on to other brands. I just wish Maxi-Glide would get it right. They could have a great product if they figured out how to make a better, more stable flat iron that lasts.May 24, 2012Angela / HawaiiHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

It Straightens A Little Too WellI absolutely loveD my Maxiglide flat iron. I've had it since 2008. I wrote a review about it with 5 stars but I must take back 4. My hair is so damaged it is unreal. I am so upset. What makes this such a shock is that I don't flat iron my hair every week, not even once a month. Maybe like 6 times a year. My hair has thinned out so much. I am not sure why this happened or what I did wrong. I can't begin to tell you. All I ask is that you do be careful with this product. It does what it is suppose to do, but the end results are not as flattering. I am so hurt to have to send my Maxiglide to the graveyard. And it still works (it leaks water but it still works).Apr 20, 2011Erica / MississippiHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

I Want Another One Now Please!I have used for the past 5 years and in need another one. I want the one with the FLAT plate, not the pins as I never used those on my old one. I could not live a day without this as it is THE BEST. I am worried that if mine goes, I do not know what I will do,. Why CHANGE something that is perfect as long as it has the FLAT plate included. Where can I buy a new one with the FLAT plate? Thank you.Apr 10, 2011Cindy / 674HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

My Maxiglide....love It!!!For the first time my hair is straight, glossy, and stays that way for days even through humidity and rain. I love, love, my maxiglide!!!! If you follow the directions and use their products or even a good heat protective serum your hair will stay straight and glossy for days. Since I have been using the maxiglide no more frizzies. I have thick, wavy/curly latino hair and with this product I now have straight glossy hair all the time. I am going to buy a back-up for traveling. Also my hair routine has been cut at least a half hour! I can't imagine being without my Maxiglide!

So-soSo I bought this hair straightener, & it works great ! It really does. It makes your look nice and straight. BUUUUT it only lasts for like the first 6 months or so. I bought one & yea i loved it but it kept turning off out of no where so i called customer service & they said I can mail it back & receive a new one. So I did. I paid 10 bucks for shipping and got a new one. But then, it happened again; it kept turning off!! & if i mail it back I would basically be paying 100 dollars for this because of shipping. I am not going to mail it back. Why should I if its going to happen and again and again. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.Nov 23, 2010Sandra E.

It's Just OkI enjoy my maxiglide, I got my first one in 2005, it went out within 3 years. I bought another one and one year later same thing happened it stopped heating. I'm using my mom's and Im hoping her's doesn't break on me. I'm in the market to purchase a 3rd hair straightener, this time I've decide to buy a GHD. Its also on the heavy side, which can get tiring. Its an ok product, nothing too exciting.Nov 12, 2010JessicaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Worked Great For A Year Then Had Cord Issues. Second Maxi Glide I've Owned, Same Problem.i would have given this all 5 stars but.... this is the second maxi glide straightener i have owned and i have the same issue. the straightener will shut off if the cord at the base is turned ever so slightly. then i have to fiddle with it and move it around until it turns on again, i thought the swivel cord would prevent this but it hasn't. i have only had this straightener for about a year so im disappointed. but when it did work it was great, got super hot and the steam feature was great.Oct 1, 2010Janna S. / New YorkHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair

Fabulous ProductI have fine, wavy hair that frizzes and I absolutely LOVE this thing. If you follow the directions, and detangle your hair first, and then section it, you will have pin straight hair like a model. Anyone who thinks it's bad had to have just tried to comb through a tangled mess. Shame on you. This flat iron is the best as is the Beyond Straight gel.Sep 27, 2010Claire

Kiss My Face Frequently Asked Questions Does Kiss My Face test on animals?Since their humble beginnings on an organic farm in upstate New York, Kiss My Face has not used ingredients that were tested on animals nor tested their finished products on animals. In November 1996, Steve Byckiewicz and Bob MacLeod (the KISS founders) along with 11 other cosmetics companies participated in a press conference in New York City that launched the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals (CSCA). The standard was created by The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) which consists of 9 animal protection associations - American Antivivisection Society, American Humane Association, Animal Protection Institute, Beauty without Cruelty, Doris Day Animal League, Humane Society of the U.S., In Defense of Animals, New England Antivivisection Society, and PETA. According to their brochure, it is the most rigorous standard for companies to pledge their commitment to no animal testing. By using time-tested ingredients (ones with an established history of safety), diligently reviewing raw material information, and utilizing human volunteers in clinical safety trials, no company need ever test on animals again! Are Kiss My Face products noncomedogenic? This refers to the use of ingredients that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Kiss My Face does not use ingredients that are typically comedogenic like mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic colors etc. What does the word "fragrance" on the label mean?Fragrance can refer to essential oils, synthetic fragrances or natural fragrances. When properly listed, essential oils are called "fragrance." Kiss My Face primarily uses essential oils only. In some of their original products, they use synthetic fragrances or a combination of the two. Do Kiss My Face products contain synthetic colors?No, Kiss My Face does not use any synthetic colors in their products. They use only natural colors like chlorophillin copper complex, mica and mineral oxides. Where are Kiss My Face products made?With the exception of Kiss My Face's toothpaste which is made in Italy and their Olive Oil Soap that comes from Greece, all of their products are made in the U.S. What does Saponification mean?"Saponification" is the term used for the actual soap-making process. Fat, which in this case is olive oil, needs a catalyst to be made into soap. Kiss My Face uses Sodium Hydroxide as the catalyst which converts the oils into soap. Kiss My Face's Product Values Kiss My Face's goals are simple-to provide you with products that: are healthy-helping you to feel and be your best. contain natural and organic ingredients-a resource for products that you can trust. are caring-for your body, and for the environment. are responsible-products with quality, purity, efficacy and responsible production methods-these products really work. provide value-with the greatest product benefit for a reasonable price.

Five races into the season, NASCAR's most popular driver is leading the points. But for how long?
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is off to the best start of his career, leading the Sprint Cup Series point standings heading into an Easter break this weekend.
Earnhardt has finished in the top seven of all five races — he was second last week in Fontana, Calif. — and is 12 points clear of defending champion Brad Keselowski for the top spot.
The difference, Earnhardt said, is his team is "closing" at the end of races.
HAMLIN: Mark Martin among possible replacements
"(Closing was) something I never really was good at for years, and now we're doing it as good as anybody," he said. "Just riding the wave."
But is the wave still cresting, or will it crash after the off weekend?
Here's a look at Earnhardt's chances of finishing well at the next five races:
Martinsville Speedway
Statistically one of his best tracks, Earnhardt figures to have a great shot at extending his streak. He has top-10s in seven of the last 10 races at the 0.533-mile paper-clip shaped track and was running well last fall until he was caught up in a late-race crash.
Texas Motor Speedway
After going six races without a top-10 from 2007-09, Earnhardt has four in a row at the 1.5-mile track in Fort Worth. His average start there is 11.8, but his average finish is 13.6. That 13.6 is his fourth-best average finish of any track (Bristol, Atlanta, Martinsville, Texas). The 11.8 starting average is second-best, behind only Daytona.
Kansas Speedway
Earnhardt will make his first trip to Kansas since sustaining a severe concussion in an August testing accident. He missed the October race there but finished seventh in the spring race last year.
Richmond International Raceway
The ¾-mile short track used to be one of Earnhardt's best — he opened his career with nine top-10s in 14 races, including two wins — but his results haven't been as good lately. A runner-up finish last spring was his only top-10 there since 2008.
Talladega Superspeedway
The track where Earnhardt has his most wins (five) is no longer beloved by the driver. After sustaining a second concussion in last fall's race there, Earnhardt said he'd rather find another job if NASCAR raced at restrictor-plate tracks every week. "I don't even want to go to Daytona and Talladega next year, but I ain't got much choice," he said then.

By TAMMY GALE, Staff Writer
Kayden Gale was born with bi-lateral hypoplastic kidneys. His kidneys stopped growing in utero and were half the size of a normal newborns kidneys. When he was three weeks old he was admitted to Primary Childrens Hospital with kidney failure. At that point his family was told that Kayden would need a kidney transplant at some point in his life but that he was too young at the time to receive one. The doctors plan was to change Kayden's food to one that did not put as much strain on his kidneys, to make sure that he was well hydrated and to put him on medications that would help with his kidney function. The main goal of the doctors was to get Kayden big enough that when his kidney actually failed that they could do a transplant and avoid his need for dialysis.
Kayden has feeding tubes, undergone surgeries, numerous hospital stays for dehydration, developmental delays and other side effects that come along with kidney failure. At one point he was taking 10 medications, two of them had to be administered by injection. On Nov. 14, 2006 Kayden's life changed. He received a kidney transplant at the University of Utah Hospital. He received a kidney from a deceased donor whose family had made the decision to donate their loved one's organs in order to help others in need.
On Nov. 15 Kayden was invited by the BYU Football Team to be honored as one of their heroes. BYU has a program called Thursday's Heroes where the team honors someone who has endured much adversity in their life. They invited Kayden to come and watch them practice and to be honored by the team. Kayden has a love for the game of football but because of his transplant his parents have been told that he will not be able to play football when he gets older. His mother has said that the only way he can play football is if he is the kicker or the team manager.
Upon Kayden's arrival he was taken on a tour of the coaches offices and team meeting rooms and then led to the team locker room. This room is designed after the Philadelphia Eagles' locker room and is huge. It is lined with lockers on both sides of the room and there are numerous TV's located through out the room, couches and chairs in the center and two ping-pong tables.
Kayden was then led to the outdoor practice field where the team was practicing. At the end of the practice the team gathered in the center of the field and Kayden was invited to join them. As Kayden walked across the field the team started clapping and stood up and cheered for him. He was met by Coach Bronco Mendenhall and introduced to three of the line backers who presented him with gifts. Matt Bauman told Kayden that he and his teammates may be football heroes but Kayden was their real life hero and that they looked up to him for all that he has been through and that he is a tough kid. He showed Kayden a big flag that everyone on the team was going to sign for him to take home. Next Terrance Hooks presented Kayden with a football jersey. He then showed Kayden their team has a flag that they fly when they run out onto the field that is just like the one they were giving to him and everyone on the team had signed that flag and that they wanted Kayden to sign the flag also to show he was now an honorary member of their team. Kayden was also given a football, a baseball hat, BYU stickers, a T-shirt, a DVD and a mini helmet.
At the end of the presentation Terrance Hooks lifted Kayden up and asked him to countdown from three so that they could yell Cougars. After the huddle every player wanted to give Kayden a high five and Coach Mendenhall took off his BYU hat and put it on Kayden's head. He told Kayden that the hat had brought him a lot of good luck and he hopes that it brings a lot of good luck to Kayden. It was truly an experience that Kayden and his family will never forget. Kayden is 3 years old and is the son of Josh and Tammy Gale of Orangeville.

This is 13 seconds of fun
. Leonardo DiCaprio was at Coachella this weekend and this woman managed to get a few seconds of Leo dancing. He certainly has his own style. Is that a dance off?
For a laugh, read Lainey's assessment of this video. LolReplyCancel
Looks like he's having fun! 🙂ReplyCancel
Hahaha! Fun!ReplyCancel
All that needs is Elaine joining in.ReplyCancel
What is priceless is that Dicaprio hides his face but everyone recognizes him.
Someone needs dance lesson
He's certainly not a triple threat …ReplyCancel
That was cute!ReplyCancel
Glad to know even the Hollywood Elite are not immune to 30 Something White Guy Dance Syndrome or TSWGDS for short.ReplyCancel
When did Leo get jumped into FSU? Check out those fucking WINDMILLS!!ReplyCancel
Coachella=very lame, full of dweebsReplyCancel
Lol @sherry- someone dubbed hardcore music over whatever was really playing. Still cracks me up though.ReplyCancel
I saw some dancing this weekend at the eXXXotica Expo. They had an all girl Motley Crue tribute band Saturday night. Treach was supposed to perform at the award show, but he was arrested earlier in the day.

That is amazing count. So THAT'S why headrot and count were MIA lately LOL. Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel
As someone who has always felt self – conscious dancing, I commend Leo for letting it all hang out. I wish I had let myself just dance more when I was younger and not worried about the spectators. Dancing is human and I'm glad at least one celeb is there for the music 🙂ReplyCancel
I love her face!ReplyCancel
Lainey actually has this one right. He would not know what do do when inside a woman. I read her schpiel on Leo this morning and had a good laugh, because you have to be pretty douchey to make anyone even consider that Bieber would be a better lay. How Leo is able to even get model beards tells us how desperately insecure women who are considered the most beautiful in the world are. Kinda sad.ReplyCancel
He has worms, and not drunk enough.ReplyCancel
Awkward Dad dancing.ReplyCancel

Skip to comments.Defense Department classifies Catholics, evangelicals as extremists
Posted on 04/06/2013 4:40:05 AM PDT by markomalley
The Defense Department came under fire Thursday for a U.S. Army Reserve presentation that classified Catholics and Evangelical Protestants as extremist religious groups alongside al Qaeda and the Ku Klux Klan.
The presentation detailed a number of extremist threats within the U.S. military, including white supremacist groups, street gangs, and religious sects.
The presentation identified seventeen religious organizations in a slide titled religious extremism. They include al Qaeda, Hamas, the Filipino separatist group Abu Sayyaf, and the Ku Klux Klan, which the slide identifies as a Christian organization.
Religious extremism is not limited to any single religion, ethnic group, or region of the world, the slide explains, in language that closely resembles the text of a Wikipedia page on extremism.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
The slide deck is here. The slide in question:
The accompanying narrative with that slide states:
Extremism is a complex phenomenon; it is defined as beliefs, attitudes, feelings, actions, or strategies of a character far removed from the "ordinary." Because "ordinary" is subjective, no religious group would label itself extreme or its doctrine "extremism." However, religious extremism is not limited to any single religion, ethnic group, or region of the world; every religion has some followers that believe their beliefs, customes and traditions are the only "right way" and that all others are practicing their faith the "wrong way," seeing and believing that their faith/religion superior to all others.
The Archdiocese of the Military Services had the following press release:
The Archdiocese for the Military Services and Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty recently became aware of a U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief that expressly listed Catholicism, Evangelical Christianity and other religious groups as examples of religious extremism alongside groups such as Al Qaeda, Hamas and the KKK.
The Archdiocese is astounded that Catholics were listed alongside groups that are, by their very mission and nature, violent and extremist.
According to an investigation and reply from the Army Chief of Chaplains office, the training in question appears to have been an isolated incident not condoned by the Department of the Army. The Archdiocese and the Chaplain Alliance explained that the Army can and should take steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
The Archdiocese calls upon the Department of Defense to review these materials and to ensure that tax-payer funds are never again used to present blatantly anti-religious material to the men and women in uniform.
The Obama Admin continues to nudge. Remember the 2009 Right Wing Extremism report put out by DHS? When that got exposed, they retracted that one, as well (it was "unauthorized").
Absolutely disgraceful. But what do you expect with Obama in there.
And I declare our current government as an enemy of its own citizens. So there...lol
I doubt these slides were prepared by military officers. I'd suspect they came out of Executive Branch offices from Obama political civilians, or contractors the White House picked to produce lying propaganda as a political payback favor. It would be good if one could get a copy of the original PowerPoint and inspect the file properties.
From FR yesterday:
Army Labeled Evangelicals as Religious Extremists
Friday, April 05, 2013 8:05:27 PM · 18 of 28
Albion Wilde to ilovesarah2012
From the article:
Army spokesman George Wright told Fox News that this was an isolated incident not condoned by the Dept. of the Army... and certainly does not reflect our policy or doctrine, he said. It was produced by an individual without anyone in the chain of commands knowledge or permission.... In the notes it was clearly stated that the presenter was not a subject matter expert, and produced the material after conducting Internet research, Wright said.
So if the presenter was not an expert, what were they doing presenting the material, Crews asked.
He said...she told him that she got her information from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Remember the 2009 DHS report? (link in the OP above). This is not the first time such a thing has happened.
They need extremist spell-check. MORMAN? C'mon. When we have a radical left-wing regime, who is surprised that traditional American institutions are under attack, and bringing Islamists into the mainstream? We have enemies, both foreign and domestic, ingrained into the current Feral gubmint. Speaking out against the regime is now viewed as bordering on treason.
And it won't be the last. Soon they'll be confiscating our Bibles along with our guns. Can't have bitter clingers.
They are products of a UFT education...illiterate, biased, ignorant, and best of all, evil.
just reporting such trash is not enough - an investigation is in order to determine who ordered this training material produced, who did produce it, and for what reason. And - publicize the results.
They spelled Mormon wrong...
Here is what I take from this based on my years as a chaplain:
a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania,
The incident occurred during an Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief on extremism.
This was an isolated incident not condoned by the Dept. of the Army, he said.
This slide was not produced by the Army and certainly does not reflect our policy or doctrine, he said. It was produced by an individual without anyone in the chain of commands knowledge or permission.
Wright said after the complaint was lodged, the presenter deleted the slide, and apologized.
Knowing these things, there was a RESERVE unit that had a training. Routinely, units will task a young troop to do a briefing as a means of growing. My guess is this was put together by a corporal, a buck sergeant, or a butterbar lieutenant. They got their info off the internet and presented it as a class to fulfill a requirement for equal opportunity training during one of their training sessions during the year.
So, Im willing to give the Army the benefit of the doubt on this one. The soldier, though, has been thoroughly indoctrinated by the culture considering he didnt realize the propaganda he was spewing and is an example to us of the brainwashing taking place in our culture of our young.
I could have guessed that they came from the SPLC. They supposedly were behind the Missouri MIAC report too that had vets as a threat.. The real threat is how a private organization with its own ethnic centric agenda has influence with government and LE.
a thorough investigation is in order:
1. who ordered the material produced
2. who actually produced it
3. what is the background of these people
4. what was the stated justification for such
5. what was the desired result
6. etc.
ping ( no surprise).
I do wonder how connected the SLPC has become to the Obama administration. Hmmm...
This is exactly the point.
While I agree that this is likely the product of a young NCO tasked with doing up the briefing, the part that troubles me is that the SPLC is identified as an unimpeachable source for EEO information by the government. The FDA uses SPLC material without further inquiry in their EEO training (publicized heavily about a year ago), the DOD does (I would bet that this young NCO had that identified as a source he should go to), as well as the DHS.
In the eyes of the SPLC, if you are not a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-Øbama (but I repeat myself) activist, you are a right-wing extremist.
They are "poking the bear" in hopes someone in utter frustration will do something stupid. Then they will say, see we were right and begin the next round of gun grabbing.
Note there is no more Al-Qaeda on list.
Probably on 'Allied organizations' chapter now.
From the SPLC page:
Help Us Fight Harmful Propaganda About LGBT People in Our Schools
The Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution was enacted in order to prevent this country becoming a theocracy, as were most countries of Europe at the time, where Kings reigned by the grace of God. The Founding Fathers, in whose memories of the vicious religious wars of scant generations past were still a powerful and terrible memory, created the Establishment Clause to forestall just such terrible religious inspired strife in this country.
First they attacked our 2nd amendment rights...now the first....didn't see this coming. ////sarc
See, they are good for something.
I for one appreciate the government's candor in this matter; practicing Catholics have no business supporting the government or its policies.
Here in NJ the state has successfully gutted our Catholic education and healthcare system.
The point was simply that extremists can exist in ANY group, which is a true statement.
Don't think there are extremist evangelicals? obviously you haven't been watching the news about that church that pickets funerals.
My guess is that someone tasked with a presentation simply accepted this at face value.
But it could come from the top down. Obama would agree with the demonization of Catholics, etc. But he might be displeased by the labeling of Mohammedan groups as extremists.
Holy f****n s**t.
Turns out I'm a religious extremist.
After reading "conducting Internet research" and before getting to the end of your post, I thought: Bet it was the SPLC.
Sure enough.
Given the kind of people in the highest ranks these days, I would say Christians are very much a threat to what they represent.
You hear Southern Poverty Law Center and think it's a nice conservative group concerned about poverty in the south. It is nothing more than a bunch of self-righteous liberals out to destroy America. You should check out their website.
These groups of their idea of extremists:
Tony Perkins
Family Research Council
The Family Research Council (FRC) bills itself as the leading voice for the family in our nations halls of power, but its real specialty is defaming gays and lesbians.
American Family Association
The American Family Association (AFA) says it promotes "traditional moral values" in media. A large part of that work involves "combating the homosexual agenda" through various means, including publicizing companies that have pro-gay policies and organizing boycotts against them.
Hutteree? Aren't they kinda like the Amish?
Correcting the Headline:
Obama Defense Department classifies Catholics, evangelicals as extremists
That's what the headline SHOULD be.
Obviously YOU haven't been watching thread after thread on Free Republic which shows that Westboro Baptist Church is NOT a church, rather it is a protest group, funded by the DNC, with ties to Al Gore.
And as a point of fact you can even find extremism in the KKK. Who would have suspected that? /s
What are the NOI, NBP, MBH and those groups classified as? Freedom Fighters for the DHS???????????? They like to castigate caucasion conservative groups.
From the slide narrative: …every religion has some followers that believe their beliefs, customes and traditions are the only "right way" and that all others are practicing their faith the "wrong way," seeing and believing that their faith/religion superior to all others.
I think that is the definition of a "believer."
I guess the only acceptable religious beliefs from anybody are no real religious beliefs at all. Sunday morning social club...
Dear FRiend;
The Westboro "Baptist" "Church" (the ones who picket the servicemen's funerals) are NOT Evangelicals. They are what can be called a "False Flag Operation". Mostly related and inbred, this is a group that has been seen hobnobbing with Al Gore, and fundraising for democrat causes. By giving themselves the title of "Baptist" in their name, they immediately invoke reactions such as yours. It's entirely natural and understandable, and many people get caught by that "Baptist Church" thingy.
God Bless.
... U.S. Army Reserve presentation that classified Catholics and Evangelical Protestants as extremist religious groups alongside al Qaeda and the Ku Klux Klan... identified seventeen religious organizations in a slide titled religious extremism. They include al Qaeda, Hamas, the Filipino separatist group Abu Sayyaf, and the Ku Klux Klan, which the slide identifies as a Christian organization.
My conclusion is, it was a female 2nd Lt, and I'll tell you why:
The extra duty position of Equal Opportunity Officer exists in every major command, mandated by political correctness and command emphasis from "echelons above reality". In every unit I was assigned to over 26 years, the EO Officer has been 2nd or 1st Lt, and has been black, female, or both, either of which always had an axe to grind.
The only exception to that rule was in my very last unit. The EO Officer was a female O-2 of Asian extraction, with a personal crusade. The Brigade Commander vented his fury during the EO brief, NOT because of the "we-must-be-fair-to-all" doctrine, but because any EO complaints would affect his OER. Follow the money.
Given the fact that the "fairness crusader" in this incident got the data from SPLC, with their recent publishing of over 1,200 groups considered extremists (most of them bring Tea Party and patriot groups), it's not a stretch to realize the extent to which Americans are being targeted.
Any officer, commissioned or not, who believes this tripe and passes onto those under his command should be drummed out with a DD. The oath is to support and defend the constitution...he has violated the most basic point of that oath, amendment one, freedom of church and perhaps assembly.
It's actually good for the Body of Christ when the government turns against them.
I believe that you have nailed it. They got the information from the SPLC. This is one of every company commander's nightmares.
A hip-pocket EO brief? That's....kind of odd. Usually those things come from on high out of the PC Ring of the Pentagon or the seventh sub-level of hell in HRC.
Mark, I just went through the entire presentation.
The overwhelming majority of the presentation is anti-white/Christian; the inclusion of any non-white/non-Christian group is either an afterthought, or smoke to give the impression of "balance".
It's as if all the presenter did was download SPLC's hard drives.

Jason Gregor
November 20 2012 11:10AM
While the NHL and NHLPA continue battling over money, Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini has been touring the world watching Oilers players and some of his best prospects. The GM had some interesting things to say about Justin Schultz as well as some disappointing news regarding a few Oiler-related injuries.
Jason Strudwick and I chatted with Tambellini yesterday on my show and here's a recap of our conversation.
JG: Let's start with the unfortunate news; Oscar Klefbom. What can you tell us, we're hearing that he's likely done for the year?
ST: Well he got into a kind of funny position and just fell on his shoulder from what we understand. We know that Oscar needs to have a few more tests; our doctors are speaking with the doctors that take care of their club there. So it looks like he's going to need some surgery, but we'll make sure that we get all of the information first.
JS: How hard is it to get information, especially when they're all of the way in Sweden it must be hard to coordinate and get everyone on the same page?
ST: That is one thing that we've worked very hard at, from a player development perspective and a communication aspect, and Ken Lowe has done a really good job with this, is setting up a relationship with the trainers of the junior teams, colleges and it's his job also to be in contact with medical staff. Most people do speak English very well and in fact I think Ken knew one of the medical trainers in Sweden from his time with team Canada. So we're lucky from that standpoint that we have a pretty good relationship with most of the teams.
JG: You got the opportunity to see a lot of your drafted players in the Super Series, most notably Nail Yakupov. Give me your thoughts on how he's played.
ST: It's been an interesting year for Nail. He's such a big personality on and off of the ice, there's no question about it. Obviously he had a very good start in the KHL; I think that he had 10 goals in 14 games and it's not the most offensive, high scoring games usually in the KHL under normal circumstances. So he's taking care of business there.
I was only able to see the last two games in Vancouver and Victoria. I think that he had a good start to the series. He was a little quieter in the last two games that I saw. He showed flashes of offensive brilliance, but I've seen him play with more vigour than I saw the last couple of games.
JS: How difficult is it for you to evaluate a player that's been drafted on your team or looking ahead to future drafts when the Russians are playing six games in ten nights? I think that it would be very hard to evaluate those games where they're not 100%.
ST: It is hard. The Russians brought over a heck of a team this year. And of the criticisms in the past was that they didn't bring over enough 'A' players for these series. But they did this year.
So you're right, that's a lot of games in 10 days to go across Canada. And every team was different, and so every team is fired up to get a piece of the Russian players physically and on the scoreboard. So by the end, I think that you could tell with their body language that they had pretty much had enough. The last game the Russian team was very strong against the WHL squad, and I give them a lot of credit because they were tired. It's good to see how players react when they are clearly tired.
JG: Mitch Moroz got hurt and didn't play in the series, although you've seen him a lot in Edmonton, but you had an opportunity to watch Daniil Zharkov play a game, and Travis Ewanyk. Give us your thoughts on their progression?
ST: Yeah I was just talking to MacT about Zharkov, he just saw him play in Belville the other night. He's a big man that is a good skater, has good skill, so there's definitely something there for him. There's no question about it that he has the ability. It's going to be finding his type of spot in pro hockey. I believe that this kid will have a chance.
With Mitch Moroz, it's too bad that he was injured just prior to the series, I would have loved to have seen because it was a heavy couple of games. The game in Vancouver, the type of hitting that was going on, it was like a playoff game to start the game and Mitch would have fit in there nicely. But he's starting to come on now and use that size and strength that he has to his advantage.
Travis Ewanyk, I was able to watch him play the first game in Vancouver and he came out just guns a blazing with kind of reckless abandon that you love to see, but it's also the type of play where you can be susceptible to injury. And sure enough a Russian D caught him along the boards and clipped his knees. I saw him at Rexall Place today, and he shouldn't be out too long. It looks like a grade 1 sprain of the MCL.
JS: Steve, you've been around hockey for a while, even though you're such a young looking man, and you look around…
JG: You don't need a new contract…
JS: I should have said that a few years ago (laughs). But in all seriousness, you've been around hockey a long time, and you mentioned how it was a very hard hitting game. Can you speak to the evolution of, not just Canadian hockey, but also Russian hockey and Finnish hockey, and how every country is starting to play more and more like Canada, and how Canada has had to bring in more skill development to their game?
ST: You're bang on there Jason because I saw the under 20 over there and I also went to see one of the second tier leagues in Sweden the night before I left. Never before had you watched games on the big ice where would you see people finish their checks when they could. There was always a turn away, and then get back into a defensive zone, defensive mindset immediately.
And now you're seeing them on the forecheck trying to take away that first player, trying to be aggressive on the second player, so when you watch the best on best they're all playing the same game, there's not really a difference. That heavy forecheck now, for the experienced players is really not there. Now it becomes, OK, are you able to handle it and do you have the skill to counter that, or take advantage of the situation. So it's getting closer and closer to being one game, there's no question about that.
JG: Steve, how do you function right now in the lockout as far as your overview of the team? You're seeing some of your prospects spread out all over the country. Have you had a chance to see Hemsky, Smid, or Gagner play? Do you keep tabs on those guys, or do you focus most of the guys in the system.
ST: Good question. We do keep tabs, but this was a very tight trip in terms of seeing games and getting back to see the Russian WHL game, so I didn't have a chance to see some of our Oiler players playing. But we do keep tabs on them and we follow them to see statistically what they're doing and just try to make sure that we're updated if there is any type of injuries or anything like that.
JG: How often have you seen the American League Team? What are you thoughts on Justin Schultz?
ST: Well I've seen a lot of games in OKC for sure. And the nice thing about it is that we do have so many of our young players there. Yes you want to win every hockey game, but they're playing in a very, very difficult league, it's tough, it's competitive, and there are very good American hockey league players that can play both ways for you. So just because you had some success in the NHL does not mean that it's a guaranteed success at that level also.
So I'm very happy about the fact that they're there and they're growing together. I like the fact that it places some leadership responsibilities, added to what they would have here with the Oilers in players like Jordan Eberle and Taylor [Hall] who is going into their third year and Ryan [Nugent-Hopkins] who is a second year pro, but especially for guys like Jordan and Taylor where people are looking for examples of how do I practice every day, how to I react after a win, how do I react after a loss, how coachable am I.
I told them that 'all of the players are going to be looking at you guys to see how you handle yourselves in these situations.' So there are great opportunities for growth from the leadership standpoint of these guys.
You mentioned Justin Schultz and I guess everyone feels that there would be some sort of transition at the American League. Offensively, he's been special from the standpoint of creating and just his natural instincts. I said, just a few weeks ago, and I know that the coaches wouldn't be happy with me, but I feel like he's a player that has not been over coached. He sees openings or a chance to make a play, and he makes it.
He's led the rush on a lot of plays a lot of times and he's come up with big goals or big passes at the right time, so you have to be pleased with him. You have to also be aware of the fact that going to the National League will be different for him. I think he'll have some success. Of course I wish that we were playing in the NHL now, but I'm really excited, that he's had a chance to go to the AHL first and experience that, it will give him so much further experience before he begins in the NHL.
JS: I got a chance to watch that second game in Abbotsford and I really zoned in on the D-men, obviously that's what I know the best, and clearly the offensive side of the game is there for Schultz. But something that I didn't expect, and that really surprised me, was his use of his stick. I mean he had a stick that was in the lane, he had a quick stick. Coaches always talk about poking pucks away and being in the lanes. Was that something that you had known before, or were you surprised at how well he uses his stick?
ST: That's a great point because that's exactly what Todd Nelson and Gerry Fleming were talking about in OKC, that he's incredibly smart. He has a great stick; you're bang on with that. And his defensive positioning more often than not is in a good spot. There are some things that are a little different from a strength standpoint with the pro players and the college players, but overall he is a very deceptive, with a quick stick to defend.
JG: Joanne Ireland had an article a while ago about Nikolai Khabibulin and Andy Sutton's health. Andy Sutton has said that he's not sure if he'll every play again. Do you have an update on the health of those two?
ST: Nik has been on the ice, he's been skating I believe this week with Freddy Chabot and working his way in. We're hoping that he's ready somewhere maybe in the second week of December, maybe sometime around there. He's always been a fit person; he's been in the top 10% of the class at all times with overall fitness so he's working hard to get his body back to ready to play. So if we're still not playing I'm sure that he would explore something, probably in the KHL.
JG: And Sutton?
ST: With the surgeries that I think that he is going to have, Andy will have a tough time coming back this year. It's unfortunate, but we were informed that he hurt himself during training sessions and he had to get something done with his knee that is going to, I think, prohibit him from probably playing this season.
JS: When you look around and you see all of these guys going to play for Europe, are GMs excited to see guys going over there and happy that they're playing ,or do they look on line more hoping that their player doesn't come up with an injury?
ST: Well, you'd rather see people probably here. For instance, for us to have most of the players in OKC is a real good thing. You don't want anyone taking time off from a game, so it's good they are playing, but yet injuries are a concern. There's such a fine line from someone having that edge and not having it when you get to the pro level, especially in the National Hockey League and from a developmental standpoint you probably need to be on the ice.
JG: Are you confident that we will see hockey at some point this year?
ST: I hope so. I'm staying optimistic.
JG: Bob Green acquired David Musil so now people in the organization can see him more often. What do you like about Musil's development and is his foot speed where it needs to be, or is that one main element that he needs to work on?
ST: I think that David always recognizes that you can always get better at that, and he's working on it. I think that his intelligence and compete level will always get him to the right spots, and he'll play against the other team's good players. He's a big man that's smart and can defend and that's a big thing of playing against good players, you have to have the intelligence to defend against good players along with the ability.
He's a hard worker off of the ice and I don't see his skating being a problem by the time he gets to play pro hockey.
I did ask Tambellini a question about the lockout, but he preferred not to comment, so I took out that question.
Sutton's injury will allow Corey Potter to be the 7th D-man, barring any moves, when the season eventually begins. I'd expect the Oilers to try and find another physical D-man who can kill penalties to complement Smid and Peckham.
Unless we see a resolution this week, it looks like Khabibulin will be ready in time to start the season, albeit as Devan Dubnyk's backup.
Here's a quick update on the Oilers currently playing in Europe:

Man do I ever hope they do something on defence to solidify that back-end.... Status Quo just isn't good enough.
I cannot wait for Khabibulin to be put out to pasture, that era needs to end, maybe someone can put a fist in his eye and tell him never to come back.
Good insights from Strudwick. I usually don't enjoy his articles as I think they kind of meander around a point. But as an interviewer he has some really poignant questions that showcase his knowledge of the game, and ability to see things that regular fans, such as myself, might miss.
It's too bad you did not ask him to delve further into the 'wow' trade. Not that he would give up a name or anything, but it's fun to speculate.
Too bad about Sutton. I always thought he played with a lot of heart last year and was did everything you could have asked of him. I was excited to see him back this year.
It really sounded like Tambillini was almost about to call out Nail on the dreaded 'Russian factor', then you guys swung it back to the point about being possibly super tired, to which he basically said that's no excuse. Am I reading too much into this or did it seem like Tambillini is not giving Yak nearly as much rope and leeway as Nuge, Ebs, and Hall when they came into the league and needed "time to develop"?
All around great read.
Too bad about Khabby; I was happy that the Oil wouldn't have him around if there was a season.
Also, I much prefer to read Tambi's answers than listen to him fumble with words on the radio/TV.

The point he made about Ken Lowe really stuck out to me. That he is communicating with the coaches and trainers on the prospects' teams is a great sign. Lowe has a lot of cachet, I would think, after his many years of work and turning that towards this kind of work is a brilliant idea.
Too often miscommunication, or a lack thereof entirely, results in poor development or a souring of the relationship between organization and player. That has sunk this franchise so many times in the past it'd be nice if we could get out in front of that problem for a change.
Strudwick's "meanders" usually involve his hockey experiences and provide a context to the point he is making that you don't usually get from many so-called "hockey analysts". Personally I enjoy them.
I agree with you on Sutton, he seemed to be one of the few older guys on the team that tried to do his job every night. With the exception of the Ponikarovsky hit, he did exactly what he was supposed to do. I hope they can get him back next year to fill in that 7th D slot.
When was the last time you heard Ebs or Hall criticized for effort level? Not saying you're wrong about Tambellini being biased in general, but Yakupov seemed to disappear at times during the Super Series.

I would suggest that it was inevitable for Yak to "disappear at times" during the super series. They play how many games in how many nights, they are essentially playing ALL on the road after travel from Russia with team mates that are mostly new to him and he is the guy all the teams key on every night. Not to mention not really having elite type talent surrounding him. Not the greatest of conditions.
@The Beaker
I watched the QMJHL as well as the WHL games, and N64 was missing at times in both. It's understandable in his own zone, that's how the Russians play, but it was disappointing when he did it in the neutral zone, he didn't move the puck through very often, or draw defenders before passing it through. I'm not criticizing his scoring, the WHL had at least two guys on him whenever he entered their zone, and their coverage was generally very tight.

Yeah I get you, I'm not going to read too much into it though. I'll wait to see how he does through the grind of a regular season... should be nice to see next year. *sigh*

All fair points. I didn't actually watch much of the super series and I hope I formed my criticism in the form of a question as I wanted to know what the guys thought. If in fact I was reading too much into his comment, or if it was warranted. It just really seems like Tambillini didn't want to pick Yak and got over-ruled at the draft table, but again that could be pure fabrication.
You are right that Ebs and Hall do not take nights off (especially Hall), but they were certainly forgiven for some rookie defensive errors, and some slack was lent to them that I just don't see Yak getting, and I worry that will transfer over to the fan base.
Cool that you like Struds articles, purely subjective opinion that I enjoy him more as a radio interview guy than a blog writer. He does have really insightful comments, but his articles generally lack the focus and interesting data that backs up points in say a Willis article, or the conversation generating points of a Gregor article. Just my opinion, I'm, sure he could still beat me up.
Question for both of you, since we seem to be the only ones in the comment section here, who do you think will be the biggest surprise that no one was looking for? For example, my prediction is that in edition to his solid defensive play, Smid emerges as an 8-10 goal and 25-30 point defenseman (obviously during the next full season).
November 20 2012, 02:46PM
With 12 goals in 22 games, it looks like Hemsky is learning to shoot more. I hope that gives him more confidence to shoot more as he will be a much bigger threat. After the last lockout, he played awesome so hopefully we see the same.

That would be great. Who do you trade (if anyone), Hemsky at the top of his game (I think 77 points was his best season) or Yak and all his potential. Keeping in mind with the way they have both been playing, I think you could get a lot back for either of them.
Last time I checked, Laddy was already putting up points overseas. Hopefully that translates to the NHL whenever they start playing again.
I could see Smid getting 25 points, but not more than about 5 goals. He's a shutdown D-man who should get lots of ice time next season (hence more assists on counterattack), but I think the prize offensive time will go to Petry and Schultze the younger, giving Smid fewer opportunities to score.
I think the surprises next season will be Gagner breaking out and/or Peckham becoming a consistent, nasty shutdown guy. I suspect one of the biggest problems for both these guys last season was coaching, Renney didn't give them a consistent position and style to play.
@Beaker, I suspect Yakupov will hit his stride in late October, then cool off around January. Last season only RNH seemed to keep up the pace all season from beginning to end, and he missed a bunch of games. Landeskog finished strong, but he had a weak start to the season that a lot of people seemed to forget when it came to voting for the Calder. I don't think Yakupov is lazy, or even out of shape, I think he's just playing a very Russian system, and happened to let off a bit in a tournament that had little overall significance to him. Tambi clearly wanted Yakupov to keep his foot to the floor and I think there may have been room for his criticism, but I wouldn't be too concerned yet either.
Is it just me or is Tambellini starting to grow on a guy? I love how he handled the Musil question keeping no negative references at all in his answer.
And I lol'd at Strud's buttering Tambi up on his age and looks. Classic!
November 20 2012, 04:24PM
Dont worry about Yak, I think his head is so far removed from Junior Hockey [ already], that its all KHL then on to the NHL.. He's Pro driven, and wants out of the baby steps.
He will be just fine as expected.
Totally random question: is Brian Burke posturing to become Gary Bettman's successor?
In a parallel universe the oilers nation is overrun with distraught comments about the oilers drafting another yet another bad lab rum (Murray) when they could have had yakupov. It's easy to underestimate risk before the first one and overestimate afterwards.
Has there been any word on why Theo left San Fran? I haven't heard anything, anyone else?

og.... That loop needle is the bee nees for working on the zing it.
Ok, thanks. So, they are those from DaHo. I had the impression they were something slightly different and/or had a hook one end.
Yellow Jacket
The loop is alot easier because the loop on the needle is stiff. So it opens the center of the line up to pull through. I bought the large one but for the 1.75 you could probably go with the medium size.
Im curious to see how much abuse it can take...
Just made my first locked brummel on the dynaglide from the group purchase and made one of the "opie ridgelines". Used flower arranging wire (green stuff).
It worked with some of tinkering. Im wondering if the open loop of the loop splicing needle will allow the end of the line you are trying to pull thru the sheath to come out because it does not squeeze the line end as it pulls thru like the wire?
I used to do alot of splicing of rope when I built ropes courses around the country, fun to get back to it.
Opie - how long is the large loop splicing needle you got? I'm wondering if it will fit in the field kit we carry.

Summary : Explore the back passages and narrow waterways of the most remote areas of Alaska's Inside Passage from Sitka to Ketchikan. The 15-day Alaska adventure cruise to Inside Passage Eastern Coves navigates the waters and wilderness by small ship, enabling you to reach rarely seen areas where rugged scenery and pristine beauty are around every turn such as Misty Fjords National Monument. Exploring Glacier Bay National Park's remote wilderness is a highlight of this adventure. Spend days cruising among massive icebergs, hiking into wildlife-rich forests; standing atop a glacier; kayaking, paddle boarding and riding a skiff along a dramatic fjord; learning about the Tlingit culture; and whale watching. In between exploring Alaska's wilderness, enjoy life onboard by relaxing in the hot tub or sauna, and socializing with friends in the lounge.
Activities : Birding, Child-Friendly, Culture, Hiking, Kayaking
Prices from
$999,999,999 to $0
Welcome aboard! Meet the crew, settle in, and relax with your shipmates. Within minutes you'll cruise the scenic channels of the Inside Passage.
Peril Strait runs 50 miles from Chatham Strait to Salisbury Sound. This haven for small boats is scenically highlighted by a very narrow connecting passageway called Sergius Narrows and an opening at Hoonah Sound. This historic and wildlife-rich waterway is a great place to watch the shoreline for bears, the waters for otters and whales, and to look skyward for eagles. The passage narrows to only 300 feet in one spot (24 feet deep).
Today's agenda is flexible. Perhaps you'll explore a tidal inlet by kayak; feel the burn of a rain forest hike; or maybe you'll have the opportunity to get up close to a humpback while skiffing in a secluded cove. The possibilities are endless—your Captain knows best.
Meander along the spectacular waterfall coast of Chichagof Island. In the expedition spirit, marvel at the grand scenery as the crew expertly guides you through unsung, glacier-carved fjords. Anchor in remote waters for an opportunity to lower the kayaks and skiffs. Explore the shoreline on an intertidal walk or forest exploration with your guides.
Set your course for arguably the richest whale waters in Southeast Alaska. Join the Captain on the bridge or the Expedition Leader out on deck in search of marine mammals. Camera in hand, begin your land and sea exploration of these remote reaches. Ride the skiffs for a closer inspection of the rugged and wild coastline with eyes set on the shore for possible bear sightings.
One of America's crown jewel national parks is yours to explore—Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve. A National Park Ranger joins you to explore coves and corners of the bay that most visitors miss. Tidewater glaciers sweep like rivers of ice down massive mountain valleys, terminating before you in the waters of Glacier Bay.
Paddle a kayak and be awed at the face of a massive glacier. Go on a boot-sucking trek through sandbars and rainforest. And ride a skiff along shore for an up-close exploration of Glacier Bay. You'll find sea lions, mountain goats, sea otters, bears, moose, eagles, and spectacular scenic backdrops. Linger near South Marble Island to spot the many species of rare sea birds that call this area home. Keep your eyes on the water and the island for brightly-colored puffins and Black Oystercatchers. Stop in Bartlett Cove for a visit to the Park Service's Headquarters.
While others end their adventure and new guests join later in the day, you will spend the day off the boat. Enjoy an included lunch in town and explore all the many things historic Juneau has to offer. A complimentary laundry service is provided today. Embark this afternoon, and keep watch for eagles as you set sail for the Tracy Arm Wilderness.
At the end of Tracy Arm, a winding fjord with sheer granite walls, hundreds of cascading waterfalls, and some of the largest icebergs in all of Alaska, sits the twin Sawyer Glaciers—Sawyer and South Sawyer. The fjord is home to brown and black bears, deer, wolves, harbor seals, birds such as arctic terns and pigeon guillemots, and mountain goats. Later today, move into Frederick Sound—summer feeding ground for the northern hemisphere's largest concentration of humpback whales. Keep watch for humpbacks, orca, and Steller sea lions.
Choose kayaking and a lush forest trek on a scenic rainforest trail, or go big on a roundtrip 11-mile hike to the glacially-fed and rarely visited Patterson Lake for spectacular kayaking in the meltwaters of Patterson Glacier. Discover the origin of its "Devil's Country" nickname during a reading from "The Strangest Story Ever Told," about the area's mythical, shape-shifting creatures called Kushtaka.
In an area known for glaciers and rich in gold and quartz, take on the otherworldly boot-sucking mud until you stand atop the mile-wide glacier. Adventure and natural beauty are sure to please whether you choose kayaking, paddle boarding, skiff riding, or trekking today. An abundance of bright red and green navigation lights guide you along "Christmas Tree Lane" as you cruise the winding Wrangell Narrows this evening.
Home to native culture, wildlife, and wonder—Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in Alaska and the only one ever governed by four nations. Before venturing into town, local islanders join you on board for an in-depth presentation on Tlingit and Haida cultures. View recently carved totem poles at Kiksetti Totem Park and step inside the famed and historically significant Chief Shakes Tribal House.
Wildlife abounds in Behm Canal and the surrounding Tongass National Forest—orca, porpoise, seals, sea lions, brown and black bears, mink, marten, eagles, and otters. Paddle along the canal or venture out on an intertidal shore walk or low-elevation trek on the Cleveland Peninsula.
Affectionately called "The Yosemite of the North," Misty Fjords National Monument represents nearly every ecosystem found in Southeast Alaska. Glacial valleys filled with sea water, and sheer 3,000 foot cliffs are a haven for sea birds, brown and black bears, mountain goats, Sitka black-tailed deer, mink, moose, river otters, and other wildlife. Glide through Walker Cove or Rudyerd Bay by kayak or explore by skiff soaking in the splendor of this largely forgotten corner of the world. This evening, join the Captain in a farewell toast and reminisce about your Alaskan journey over a sumptuous dinner.
Enjoy a farewell breakfast before disembarking the ship this morning. Transfer directly to the Ketchikan airport or continue on your own adventures.

Now that the election is over, the first lady returns to a semi-regular life in Washington.
After an exhausting re-election campaign in which she was crucial, Michelle Obama is back and glowing again as first lady at the White House.
Today she returned to one of her favorite duties as first lady — handing out awards to adorable kids — while presenting the stylish and inspirational model that people have come to expect.
And well-rested nearly two weeks after President Obama was re-elected. She was dressed in an empire-waisted patterned dress in navy, black, white and gray, with a pair of sexy ankle-strap heels.
The occasion was the 2012 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards, a component of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. She presented awards to 12 community after-school programs in music, dance, poetry, theater, history and digital arts that help to develop creativity among under-served young people. This year's winners were chosen from more than 350 nominations.
Mrs. O worked as hard as the president in the effort to return him to the Oval Office, traveling far and wide on her own during the past six months to help rally voters. It takes a toll, as she indirectly suggested in her remarks today.
"I'm off my game," she joked, according to the official transcript. As the audience laughed, she said, "I haven't been — I've been speaking a lot, and then sort of took a little time off..."
Then she went on to pay tribute to the "transformative power" of the arts and arts education for young people.
"You know that the skills that you're teaching --skills like problem-solving and teamwork, self-expression -- these skills aren't just valuable in the studio or in the theater, but they are critical in the classroom and will be in the workplace when you all get there," she said.

DislikedHmm. Sometimes I imply more than I mean.
And no, I wouldn't want to say something like that, unless I found a decently-done scientific study that connected a price chart with how the majority of its traders felt about the news or whatever, with maybe inclusion of losing traders and some measure of their behavior at the time.
One thing I do know, that's way over my head.
The idea of frustration discussed earlier in the thread, that one still seems alright from personal experience. And the other emotion stuff, the pictures exchange, got...Ignored
You are right. You did say range...and other technicals would be necessary.
I've heard some say that they can see the panic (fear) in the chart when matched with a news event. That I think is understandable: a candle with a long shadow for example. Would make trading easier if the market would give a heads-up message, preferable audibly, when it was getting ready to go into some emotional mode: greed, fear, hope, revenge etc. Increased volatility is sometimes a sign of an emotional market. A good tell, from my observation, occurs when the market does something "suddenly" to run some stops then take off in the opposite direction. I think it is in the market's interest to get us traders emotionally involved so it can have a better chance at controlling its desired outcomes.
...the pictures exchange, got some useful stuff also. Pictures exchange?
Thanks again for being a part of the mind-stretching process.

Government shutdown: Harry Reid: I am not a criminal By: Burgess Everett October 2, 2013 11:24 AM EDT
There will be no charm offensive from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said Wednesday that Republicans are obsessed with beating him in a political chess match rather than opening back up the government.
Some in the Republican conference are too mad at me personally, too obsessed at getting me personally to back down from doing what most of America believes is the right thing, Reid said, again reiterating that the Senates six-week clean spending bill is the only way out of a shutdown.
The Nevada Democrat also defended his role in fighting Republican attempts to water down Obamacare as a condition to keeping the government open, responding directly to a National Review piece that called him the villain of villains.
When I read this yesterday, I thought, no one likes to be called a villain, Reid said, reading aloud definitions of the word that mean uncouth, scoundrel or criminal. I am not a criminal. I am not a scoundrel. So they better get a different definition of me.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Whoa! Have we had a Nixon Moment?
We need to swarm pages like this. They are swarming it, so we need to get on there and support guys that have stood by us.
"I am not a crook." Hairy Reed
From the scoundrel who releases people's personal emails to him...
Starting to feel the heat is he?
Why so defensive Harry?
No, you are pure scum. When I see your scummy face, I think SCUM!!!
well, his mother believes he's not a criminal
Yes, you are! You stole your last election!
Exit polls showed your opponent winning against you in your last Senate race.
Then, somehow, (miraculously) you jumped more than five percent into the lead.
Your cronies stuffed the ballot box.
Reid, you are definitely the a$$hole of a$$holes.
Crooked as a dog's hind leg. Hell, he's from Nevada.
Get behind Lois Lerner, Harry. She already said this.
What is Harry Reid's approval number?
Uh, Harry...you are the one who made it personal when you called Cruz an Anarchist and a Terrorist.
Harry Reid is a strike organizer. The Senate needs to get back to work.
Harry Reid is a mealy-mouth, and he was in their pocket just like the rest of them. . .hes a worm. . . all you've got to do is read the poem he read when they had that phony Sinatra licensing. . . Reid was the chairman, and he read this kiss-*ss poem. He's a faker.
—Former Las Vegas FBI agent Joseph Yablonsky, when asked to comment on Harry Reids relationship to the Mafia
Dingy Harry has a Nixonian moment!
Break out the photoshop.
Hairy Roid's voice sounds like an 88 year old librarian.
Granny Clampett, without the gumption!
But there are longstanding rumors that you are a pedophile. You can Google it.
Pretty amusing that Senator Gillette or Mr. Cleanface (as mobsters called him on FBI wire taps) tries to pretend to not be crooked.
Anyone less well-connected than Reid would be rotting in federal prison.
Dingy is certainly a crook, if not a convicted criminal.
Then why has the crime rate been down for two days?
Isn't that like the credo of all criminals?
So says the Senator from the Nevada Gaming Commission ...
Harry, add senile to your list of faults. I seem to recalled a bill to fund military pay sailing through with little opposition. Please explain why the same can't be done for other "critical" funding requirements. Is there something else more pressing that you must devote the Senate's time to, or is it you and little Barry are just criminally piss'd you're not getting your way?
What Chicken Sh!ts you all are...
I think those that protest to much must have something to hide, hey ya think Hairy??????
Harry, we want 0bamaCare destroyed.
That's all.
I called shiiteheads office after I heard him disrespect Mr.Cruz after the filibuster. I really tried to be respectful like Mark Levin said to be. I couldn't. I just couldn't hold back my utter distaste for this waste of skin.
I ended up telling him that he will be hung from the highest branch of the tree of liberty .
Yes, you are...Harry POS Reid. A deceitful criminal of the worst kind. A socialist/totalitarian.
Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
-- Dingy Harry
Still lying.
Yes you are and you should be in jail.
"I am not a criminal."
Well, the necktie certainly is.
He has a voice like Godfather Vito Corleone
What a mess he is.
Harry Reid is the crooked senator from Nevada in The Godfather II. It's almost like they base the character on him.
Harry Reid is the crooked senator from Nevada in The Godfather II. It's almost like they base the character on him.
"I am not a schnook!"
Looks like it is getting to him
Apparently the evil republican mantra is not working
They did.
Uh huh, Harry. And your wife has a plain cloth coat and you aren't giving up your little dog Checkers. Right.
Good one. But with all due respect to Nixon's family, he was arguably small potatoes compared with the corrupt federal lawmakers that we're dealing with now.
if only half of what is said about him and the las vegas unions is true, then yes you are a crook
Damn hypocrite Harry Reid had no problem calling Mitt Romney a criminal on the senate floor.
KEEP THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN. This is the fight of all fights. This is the soft American Revolution against Tyranny. Boehner MUST NOT cave to the petulant little foreigner in the White House. If things get worse, so be it. Let 0bama close down everything and hurt the public even more. Nothing is more hurtful or intrusive as the IRS and their stinking mandatory health care TAX.
The GOP should hold the line and DEMAND that Benghazi, IRS targeting conservatives and DOJ spying on Fox News with a bogus warrant against James Rosen ALL be assigned special select committees and subpoenas for all relevant witnesses, including all evacuees from Benhazi, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, etc.
Let's see a return of ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE WHITE HOUSE ONCE AND FOR ALL THEN BEING ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST OBAMA AND HIS CRIMINAL REGIME.

The Department of English will present Michael Ward, Ph.D., at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18, in room 142 of Adorjan Hall. He will speak about the classic works of C.S. Lewis in his lecture, "The Medium is the Message: C.S. Lewis, Narnia and the Seven Heavens."
Ward's lecture will discuss how the Chronicles of Narnia may be understood in light of Lewis' Christian faith, as well as in the context of his expertise as a medieval scholar.
