Preview: Portland Trail Blazers (2-1) at Dallas Mavericks (2-1); Mavs welcome Stotts, Aldridge, Lillard to Big D
Earl K. Sneed previews the Dallas Mavericks' Monday night matchup against Portland, as former assistant Terry Stotts, Seagoville native LaMarcus Aldridge and rookie Damian Lillard travel to Big D.
DALLAS — While most expected the Dallas Mavericks to get off to a slow start without 11-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki following his arthroscopic knee surgery on Oct. 19, the team itself did not.
Starting the season with a 99-91 road victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Mavericks quickly turned the rest of the NBA into believers even with Nowitzki and center Chris Kaman (strained right calf) both sidelined.
Now, after rebounding from a 113-94 loss in Utah with a 126-99 home rout of Charlotte on Saturday night, the Mavericks (2-1) will try to continue to prove their naysayers wrong as they proceed through a three-game homestand.
"As a competitor, you want to prove people wrong," point guard Darren Collison explained. "As a competitor, when everybody says, 'You don't have Dirk and you don't stand a chance,' you want to prove people wrong. And we want to hold down the fort as much as we can until Dirk gets back."
"Obviously with Dirk out, he's a big part of what we do and this organization, and he's definitely put the organization on his back for years and done his job," fellow newcomer O.J. Mayo added. "But that's the whole reason why you regroup and reload and bring in younger, fresher legs to help him out. It's a lot of miles (on Nowitzki's legs) and it's our job to hold down the fort a little bit."
Both Collison and Mayo have done their parts, as the lead guard has posted at least 17 points in all three of the team's games thus far, tallying up 18 points on 8-of-12 from the field and dishing out 10 assists in Saturday night's win. Meanwhile, Mayo broke out with an epic performance against the Bobcats, scoring a game-high 30 points on 10-for-17 shooting and setting a career-high for made 3-pointers after going 7-for-10 from behind the arc.
Behind Mayo's hot shooting, the Mavericks also connected on a franchise-best 64 percent from 3-point range in the win, hitting 16-of-25 shots from deep and overcoming their own 22 turnovers.
"You make 16 3s, you're not going to lose many games, and it was a bit of a deodorant for some of our other transgressions," Rick Carlisle confessed after collecting his 200th win as Mavericks coach. "We look to make strides, mild as they may be, and get better. We got better in some areas and there are other areas we've got to keep working at obviously."
Even after Kaman returned to the lineup to score 16 points on 8-of-9 from the floor, the backcourt's production may again be counted upon Monday night against All-Star big man and Seagoville native LaMarcus Aldridge, rookie standout Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers. In the return of former assistant and offensive coordinator Terry Stotts to Big D for the first time since taking the head coaching job in Portland (2-1), the Dallas defense won't be able to just load up on Aldridge inside thanks to the emergence of Lillard.
Through three games, Lillard is already in elite company, joining Oscar Robertson as the second rookie in league history to start his career with three straight games of at least 20 points and seven assists. The first-year stud will now be at the center of Dallas' game plan, according to Carlisle, as the Mavs look to claim their first consecutive wins of the young season.
"We've gotta throw the kitchen sink at him," Carlisle matter-of-factly said of the plan to slowing down Lillard. "He's that good. And, you know, it's a very challenging game. In terms of precision and efficiency, these guys are the best offensive team we've seen. Just all-around skill, the 3-point shot, an All-Star player in the post, pick-and-pops with Aldridge, I mean, they're really, really good."
"You just hope he had a bad night's sleep, didn't get his nap and is not feeling well," eight-time All-Star Vince Carter jokingly added on slowing down Lillard. "Just watching him, a lot of confidence and they believe in him and know that he's big for the franchise. When they tell you that, you can just go out there and play basketball. So, for us, it's just stay in front of him, contest his shots and make it tough for him."
Note: The Mavs continue their three-game homestand Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The game will air locally at 7:30 p.m. CT on Fox Sports Southwest. Tickets for the game remain available and can be purchased by calling (214) 747-MAVS or by visiting Mavs.com.

Polygon Team sweeps the board in Asia
The Polygon Factory Team, a Marzocchi partner, was very successful in June at the BSX Open and the UKDI 2011 #4. Ditra Pranata from Indonesia started at the BSX Open in Yogyakarta, Indonesia from June 11th-12th. Riding on his Polygon Cozmik DX 4.0 he won the Downhill Men's Elite Class Race.
Pranata also started one week later at the UKDI 2011 #4 Series in Pandaan, East Java (also Indonesia) where he became 4th in the Mens Elite Class. The short distance of just 1.7 km forced a very speedy and tehnical driven race. His team mates Afos Katana (2nd) and Newcomer and youngest rider in the field Agung Fambudi (1st) even could handle the very dry and dusty course better. A great success for the Polygon riders.

The rugged, extreme winter conditions of the arctic are the inspiration for the new 2012 Jeep Wrangler Arctic and Jeep Liberty Arctic models. With winter temperatures that can reach -45°C, and wind speeds that can exceed 160 kilometres per hour, the Arctic is well known as one of the most intense climates on Earth.
"The new Arctic Editions deliver legendary Jeep 4x4 capability ready to tackle the toughest Canadian winter," said Ed Broadbear, vice-president of marketing, Chrysler Canada. "In addition, Jeep Wrangler is powered by our 3.6-litre Pentastar engine, recently named one of Ward's ten best new engines for 2011."
Available in Liberty, Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, the 2012 Arctic models arrive in Canadian showrooms this month.
Based on the Jeep Wrangler Sahara model, the Arctic's winter theme is immediately recognizable. Available colours include Winter Chill, Bright Silver, and Bright White.
Exterior features include a modular body-colour Freedom Top® hardtop and body-colour fender flares, "Arctic" badges on the front fenders, a "Yeti Footprint" decal over part of the driver's side fender and hood, black hood decal, and Mopar black fuel filler door and taillamp guards.
The Wrangler Arctic also offers an aggressive Wrangler Rubicon tire and wheel package, with unique semi-gloss black 17-inch wheels adorned with 32-inch tires.
Inside, Jeep Wrangler Arctic's seats are black cloth and vinyl fabric with Polar White accents and Arctic Orange piping and accent stitching. Front seats are heated and feature an "Arctic" logo in the seat back.
Arctic Orange accent stitching can also be found on the steering wheel, arm rest, and console lid. Door trim and nets are accented in Arctic Orange, and all grab handles and dashboard vent rings are finished in Polar White trim.
Available on Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4 models, the Arctic shares many of the same features as the Wrangler Arctic. Available exterior colours are Winter Chill, Bright Silver, Bright White and Mineral Grey. "Arctic" badges on the front fenders are shared, though the "Arctic" decal on the hood is unique to Jeep Liberty.
Semi-gloss black 16-inch aluminum wheels with centre caps painted semi-gloss black are wrapped in P235/70R16 OWL all terrain tires. Rounding out the exterior highlights are deep tint glass and tow hooks, blackedout headlamps and standard fog lamps.
The interior features a similar black and Arctic Orange colour scheme found in Jeep Wrangler. Seats are covered in black vinyl with a Gortex embossing, and the inserts are Tectonic fabric with Polar White accents. Arctic Orange accent stitching can be found on the seat backs, cushions, and headrests. Power front seats are heated and feature an "Arctic" logo in the seat back. Finishing touches include greyfaced gauges, express up/down one-touch windows, Media Centre 430 touch-screen with a ninespeaker Infiniti sound system, and Mopar slush mats with white "Jeep" lettering.
The 2012 Jeep Wrangler features an all-new, more fuel efficient and more powerful 3.6-litre Pentastar VVT V6 engine, and a new 5-speed automatic transmission - both of which it shares with the award-winning Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Chrysler Group's Pentastar V6 engine delivers a best-in-class 285 horsepower and 260 lbs.-ft of torque, while delivering up to 9.3L/100 km highway in the 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The improvement, when compared to the previous 3.8-litre V6 engine, is 40 per cent more in horsepower, 10 per cent more in torque, and up to 15 per cent better fuel economy.
A 3.7-litre V6 engine is standard on all Jeep Liberty models. The 3.7-litre engine produces 210 horsepower and 235 lbs.ft of torque.
Jeep Liberty is designed to appeal to customers who are looking for Jeep 4x4 capability as well as comfort and convenience.

It's called Women's Equality Day, and it's held each year on Aug. 26 to mark the moment in time when women gained the right to vote.
In a society that prides itself on equal rights and inclusion, it may be hard for some people to believe that less than 100 years ago women could not vote in the United States.
Sunday, Aug. 26, marks the 92nd anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing a woman's right to vote.
"It's hard to believe with the active role women have in politics today that it has only been 92 years since we were first allowed the opportunity to take part in selecting our elected officials," said Connie Kelly, Richmond County Board of Elections director.
The 19th Amendment states: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."
It took 144 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed before women were treated as full American citizens and able to vote. What took so long?
"I guess that it goes hand in hand with other issues of equality," said Kelly. "I believe that during that time, a woman's role in decision making outside of the home was not recognized as important. I guess that's why it was referred to as 'suffrage.'"
In his proclamation of Women's Equality Day 2012, President Barack Obama said, "The product of profound struggle and fierce hope, the 19th Amendment reaffirmed what we have always known: that America is a place where anything is possible and where each of us is entitled to the full pursuit of our own happiness."
"America was founded to allow all people to be treated the same," said Pam Dillman, president of the Richmond County Chapter of Democratic Women.
"The insecurities that some men have has kept some women from great leadership roles. The way I see it, it does not matter what gender, status, or color. The leadership the individual brings is what is desperately needed. Diversity was the way our country came together. Women and men can work together," Dillman said.
Priscilla Saunders, a member of the county's Democratic Women organization, said women should have been allowed to vote with men all along.
Saunders remembers her very first time voting.
"I was 20 years old. I was very proud to vote, and my favorite candidate was Maceo McEachern running for school board; first time ever a black was elected to the school board," she said.
Cathy Wilson, newly elected this year to the Richmond County School Board, registered to vote the minute she could.
"I registered to vote and voted as soon as I became of age," said Wilson. "I have always believed in the election process and have been political minded all my life. I started working at the polls when I was 12 years old and have not missed many elections doing that."
Kelly said she was a "late bloomer" and didn't register to vote until she was around 30. She remembers clearly that first time she stepped into a voting booth.
"I remember feeling all of the emotions — nervous a little, but mostly excited and very proud," Kelly said.
"I was 20 years old when I (first) registered," Dillman said. "I was taking classes at RCC when now President of Wingate College Jerry McGee signed me in. I remind him of this all the time. My first vote I remember was for Meg Queen for School Board, and Gracie Snead and Macie McQueen a little later. What powerful women. You have to have a representation from all groups of people to be an elected official. You are over all types of people and that needs to show on all our boards."
Dillman said the county's Democratic Women organization was formed back in 1969.
"Mrs. Nancy Neal from Hamlet was one of the founding members. We were told to wait for a better time in the '70s. The men in leadership roles in the county did not want the women in a political club. I was so very proud of how they got started. The Union County Democratic Women helped form the club," said Dillman.
These days, Dillman sees the power shifting to more women taking leadership rolls.
"We all need mentors — some of my best have been women," she said. " … It goes back to great leadership and good elected officials. I respect my vote and will only vote for someone I have check out thoroughly and I feel they will take care of me and my country.
"Our parents were great role models for my brothers, husband and I. My husband and I are following in the same footsteps as our parents. You need to know your candidates before you cast your vote," said Dillman.
Wilson said politicians need to recognize the power women can wield at the polls.
"Women have power and authority to win or lose an election and more emphasis needs to be directed to them. Women are intelligent and capable of running a campaign and winning an election (on their own). It is a great injustice for women to be left out of the election process. I think most candidates realize that now," Wilson said.

No Free Pass For Illegal Immigrants
James Blackwell - Thu 10:28 AM 02/02/2012
A proposal has been introduced to Kansas legislators by business groups and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce which calls for undocumented immigrants to be able to remain in Kansas and hold jobs legally. This bill would allow illegal immigrant who have managed to circumvent our legal system for five years and only received one misdemeanor conviction, to legally obtain jobs in the agricultural, roofing and construction. The entities who introduced this legislation claim to represent business and promote growth in the Kansas job market, are now promoting programs that will put legal Kansans out of work, and lower wages of other Kansas workers. The proposal also states that employers would be able to pay a fee for using these illegal workers. This fee would be paid to the state.
As a business owner in the construction field and a member of Salina Chamber of Commerce, this legislation is bothersome to me. Not only do companies who hire legal Kansan workers have to deal with high tax rates and over regulation by local and state agencies but must potentially pay taxes to fund a government agency to track workers whom are in our country illegally. Is it not bad enough that the illegal immigration issue is not dealt with in any way that makes a difference? Is it not bad enough that companies who hire legal workers have to pay a higher rate than the competition who hires illegal immigrants? In today's economy would our legislators not be better serving us if they concentrated on protecting Kansas Jobs for Kansas workers?
Time and time again companies that hire illegal immigrants succeed while their competitors fail due to the high cost of good legal employees. Many times these companies hire illegal immigrants for low wages and work them long hours. The illegal immigrants do not complain for fear of losing their jobs. Here are the simple facts. Many illegal immigrants will have to live on low income and is forced to live in homes that should have been condemned. The illegal immigrant is stuck in a life that very seldom gets better. All the while the so called employer is taking advantage of the low wages and hard work that comes along with hiring illegal Immigrants. Illegal immigrants very seldom make any community ties and generally do not participate in the education of their children at public schools. This is not to say they are bad parents simply that fear of getting caught prevents them from being involved.
In the construction trade it is not uncommon for builders or roofing contractors to hire illegal immigrants to complete projects. This is not due to a shortage of qualified workers, it is due to the fact they do not want to pay the wages expected by good American workers. Homeowners often take this route as well, hiring illegal immigrants or contractors who use illegal immigrants to complete projects. While this may save some money on the specific project. These people should be aware of the money cost in taxpayer dollars. For example: Illegal immigrants who have children in the school district pay no taxes into the system to support the education of their children. This means a legal taxpayer must pick up the tab by paying higher taxes and mill levy. To make matter worse, the schools are required to enroll many of the children of illegal immigrants into special programs such as English as a Second Language courses. These courses require additional funding. These needed resources are taken from the children of legal Americans.
Programs similar as this one have been tried in the past, they have generally failed. This is largely due to the fact that these individuals know they are breaking the law and fear that if they register they will be deported. However if passed this legislation will cost taxpayers money to administer. It will be touted as a success by creative statistics and political advocates.
Does Kansas really need to have more illegal Immigrants competing for the jobs of Kansans? Is the Kansas Chamber of Commerce really that out of touch with what Kansans want? Wouldn't it be more logical to actually enforce laws regarding illegal immigrants than to allow them to violate our law and be given a free pass? Kansas does not need to spend more money to allow some employers to abuse employees. The companies that support these laws so that they can get cheaper labor at under fair market value, must realize they are hurting the Kansas worker by keeping pay rates low.
Kansas Legislators should instead be implementing legislation that allows the companies and entities that hire illegal immigrants to be fined on a large scale. This would protect Kansas workers and would increase state coffers by receipt of fines. And it may even help get people off of unemployment by making jobs available to legal American workers.

As I have pointed out elsewhere on this website: if you have the same position on this issue as Ronald Reagan, you will be called a liberal.

You are not very bright, James, are you? You are a member of the Chamber of Commerce, yet you are for higher fines on business. You're against fewer regulations, yet you call for more in this article. You're for level playing field for YOUR business, but not for your countries citizens. You hate inflation, but are for higher food prices. If you are getting your ARSE kicked out there in the private sector, why don't you get back on the government tit like the good old days?

Logical: I havent called anyone a liberal, I may disagree with you on some issues and may agree with you on others. youlose: I am a member of the Salina Chamber of Commerce and yes I would like to see fines for those companies who are violating the current law. ( http://www.fairus.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=16665&security=1601&news_iv_ctrl=1007). I am for few regulations, although I would like to see more enforcement of the existing law. Inflation is relative, it has been on the rise for the past ten years, all the while illegal immigration has been at its highest. Apparently illegal immigration does not stave off inflation. Although it does create tax burden. And thank you for reading... I understand there may be differing viewpoints however why does one always revert to bad mouthing and name calling instead of having an intelligent conversation on this site?

I have several comments which I will list separately; First to Logical : Reagan agreed to a an amnesty as a ONE TIME SPECIAL DEAL. This was part of a compromise in which the democrats agreed to absolutely enforce the immigration law so that we would never again have a problem with illegal aliens. Needless to say the republicans do not intend to make the same mistake twice. Democrats have shown themselves to be a bunch of lying weasels and this time we will demand complete and utter enforcement down to the last letter of the law.

Second to YouLose : Competition between companies in a free market takes place within the context of the law. For labor laws, this starts with the requirement of no slavery. A worker has to be allowed the freedom to quit his job at any time if he doesn't like it. Employers also have to pay a minimum wage and pay overtime for work past an 8 hour day. They also allow workers a weekend off and national holidays. In addition to such requirements it is the law that employers can only hire workers who are legally certified to reside within the united states. These are the rules. Employers who break the labor laws must suffer the legal penalties. In the case of using illegal workers, the penalty for a first offense is a fine of $2000 per worker and six months in prison. James is simply asking that all employers in Kansas should also play by the other work rules that the state and federal government have specified.

James I agree it is a no win situation when you have to compete against the companies that hire illegals. They can under bid you because they probably do not pay overtime. I have seen roofers in my neighborhood working their gangs 12+ hours in the summer and the bid on the job was really low. Youlose you are the loser because your post does not make sense to me. James is not calling for a level playing field for just him. I think he wants a level field for everyone who is here legally. WF

@hacimo--One correction. Employers do NOT have to pay overtime after 8 hours a day. Some do, but they do not have to. What is required is overtime after 40 hours in one week.

Kansas Chamber of Commerce is out of touch. Honestly, I feel the same way about Salina's. Kansas' has shown it's cards and now everybody knows all they care about is keeping businesses in Kansas at any cost WITHOUT any regard to the citizens of Kansas and quality of life. In my opinion, Mr. Blackwell, you will see the reason Salina is slow to grow, and wages remain low, is because of Salina's chamber. Don't take me ragging on Salina's as ragging on you, but I think, with time, you will recognize that our Chamber how choked Salina down for big business that has already established here and threatens to move out if competitors come in. It just sets up our society for failure... This greater issue of letting illegals working here just is the front page news to something that can fill up a newspaper.

I agree with this article 100%. It all makes perfect sense. And I'm tired of footing the bill for all of these illegals. They have their babies here and so their babies are now "citizens", and SRS previously did not check citizenship SO that meant they could get food stamps and all other sort of aid - which YOU and I pay for. Also their kids are going to school - and like James said, they need programs that need special funding - AGAIN paid by us. It's just not right - or fair.

What part of illegal do they not get? Why don't we pass a law letting illegals hold public office, but at a reduced rate of pay, or better yet why don't re take away the legislator's pay?

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, known in New York City for his tough regulations on everything from large sodas to smoking in Central Park, proposed a new target during his final State of the City speech Thursday: plastic foam containers.
"Styrofoam increases the cost of recycling by as much as $20 per ton because it has to be removed," the mayor said. "Something we know is environmentally destructive, that is costing tax payers money, and that is easily replaceable, I think, is something we can do without."
Specifically, the ban will target certain polystyrene foam products, not necessarily Styrofoam, a trademarked product of Dow Chemical Co. used in foam insulation and construction products.
"With Speaker (Christine) Quinn and the City Council, we'll work to adopt a law banning Styrofoam food packaging from our stores and restaurants," Bloomberg added. "And don't worry, the doggy bag and the coffee cup will survive just fine."
It was not immediately clear how the majority of businesses that use polystyrene foam products would react to a ban.
One early response from the Dunkin' Donuts chain was not positive.
Instead of an outright ban, it said in a written statement, the company has "reviewed or tested nearly every type of single-use hot cup on the market, but a viable alternative does not yet exist. This is a process, and we will continue to test and try new things until we find a cup that keeps drinks hot, hands cool and is better for the planet.
"A polystyrene ban will not eliminate waste or increase recycling; it will simply replace one type of trash with another," it said. Until a solution is found, Dunkin' Donuts has cut the weight of its foam and plastic cups and "offered our franchisees a reusable mug program."
Plastic foam product limitations have already been ordered in several other cities, including Seattle and Brookline, Massachusetts.
Throughout his tenure, Bloomberg has garnered a reputation for bold and sometimes controversial initiatives. Despite public outcry, he pushed to regulate trans-fat in food preparation in 2007, signed into law a ban on smoking in most public spaces in 2011, and this March, prohibited sugary drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces in certain venues.

Chivalry and Courtesy
A bit of thinking led me to the conclusion, that yes, we do like chivalry. In fact, everybody does. But not in the sense of men holding doors open and offering their chairs to women. Everybody appreciates courtesy, good manners, and concern towards fellow human beings, regardless of the sex of the courteous person, or of the person at whom the concern is targeted.
Maybe I can explain better with examples.
Situation: A group of us are passing through a self-closing door.
I don't expect - Anybody to hold the door open for me.
I expect - The person who has already passed through, to pause and hold the door for that one second longer to prevent it from swinging back, so that it does not bang into my face, and I can pass through it elegantly and safely, and in turn, hold the door for that one second longer to facilitate the person behind me to pass through unhurt.
Situation: I enter a conference room for a meeting, and see that there is one chair short.
I don't expect: Anybody to get up and go out of the room, and get me a chair.
I expect: That when I go out and get a chair for myself, and am struggling to get the bulky swivel chair into the room through the self-closing door, my colleagues should not stare at me blankly, chewing their pen caps, but get up and hold the door open so that I can get my chair inside.
Situation: Getting on to the bus.
I don't expect: Anybody to stand aside and allow me to climb into the bus first.
I expect: That s/he should not shove me aside to get into the bus first.
Situation: Waiting (like at the doctor's), where there are a number of chairs, all occupied.
I don't expect: Anybody to get up and offer their chair to me.
I expect: Somebody to get up and offer their chair to the pregnant lady/the lady carrying a baby/old people/the person with a crepe bandage around his ankle.
Actually these are very small things. It is common sense, and basic courtesy, which should be followed by everybody without a second thought. But an unbelievably small number actually practices it.
So naturally, when someone, be it male or female, displays such little gestures of thoughtfulness, it is very natural to be drawn to him/her. And the insensitive ones, who don't understand what is happening, accuse women of falling for chivalry. All I can say is, wake up, and smell the coffee.

Nice post.
I would expect a self respecting "female liberation activist" to turn down _all_ forms of offerings by a male.
If that is not the case, that person (the lady in question) is either a "wannabe female liberation activist" or at best a pretender.
I don't know how many of you were on this planet in the 60's and 70's to understand what I'm talking about.. - 9/12/2006 6:14 PM
- Viky said...
I feel men ought to be a wee bit chivalrous. Women's lib, equal rights and everything under the sun in place, the average Indian male has a long distance to cover. And chivalry is not even on the horizon.
The following is just to give you a few examples where, forget chivalry, even courtesy goes for a toss.
Take for example you are in a multiplex, waiting for the doors to open, after being vacuumed from the previous show. You spot a PYT near the vending machine. How many of us males, if not in the right company, will NOT make an effort to move towards her?
Forget all the beating around the bush. How many of us can maintain eye contact with a lady acquaintance who is ... ahem ... showing some skin? How many times have we made someone feel conscious by staring at them, making her feel "What a jerk!!!"?
Forget all that, I'll classify it as juvenile. Allright, we did it in college, we did not know our Ps and Qs. Fine.
Now we are white collared "corporates". How many times have we held our drink to ourselves in an office party? Office parties are formal affairs where people are with their families.
Yet when Mr.Jack Daniels is introduced, people act as if they have seen him for the first time, and will be the last time ever. Trains start running around. Ties go for a toss even as shirt tails come out and show their wrinkles. Dinner starts and yet a hand is holding the glass.
Cultural programmes are done to empty chairs while the bartenders serve people who are so sloshed that they don't know what went into their Bloody Mary - Vodka or White Rum.
We are techies aren't we? It's either 0 or 1. Either we are not drunk, or we are on the floor. Jagjit Singh says in one of his ghazals - Peene gaye the chalke, laaye gaye uThake. And the teetotallers wonder, "What a jerk!!!"
Forget office parties. Almost everyone gets a call from telemarketers, for cards, for loans etc. How many of us shout at them, and how many of us actually say that we don't want their services? The person at the other end is, in all probability, a student earning his pocket money or a disabled army man eking out his living. He is doing his job, he's got a number to call, he does it. You don't want the service, refuse it POLITELY. No!! Bola na be, nahi chahiye??? He is left wondering "What a jerk!!!".
A man's character is determined on how he treats people who are powerless in front of him. Allright, you shouted at the guy...did it improve your situation? A few times, yes, but in general?
How many times have we hung up on a person? How many times have we answered a phone saying "Boliye" or "Haanji"? How many times have we bossed around the support staff - canteen guys, courier guys, delivery boys - as if they were children of a lesser God?
I can go on and on and on. Sometimes I do some of the above myself, and end up feeling reproachful. Sometimes I take pride in the small things I do to make people who are less fortunate than me comfortable. But one thing is sure, what goes around, comes around. How many times have we felt happy because someone much higher than us, much more accomplised than us, lent us some time, and spoke without inhibitions.
Let us learn courtesy first, chivalry can wait. - 9/12/2006 8:05 PM

- shark said...
These are small thing but make a lot of difference. Don't men expect to be treated well...? So why when women expects the same thing it gets classified either as "lib" or "attracted to men's chivalry" ?
But things are changing... I see a lot of difference in men these days. They respect women more now. Specially if they have gone overseas.. sad but true! Anyway as long as we take the good things of the west and improve on it.. what is the harm! - 9/12/2006 8:56 PM
- maverick said...
nice post. i actually expect both men and women to do the same (refer to exmaples of yours). you will find how weird it is that people with no basic courtesies change when they land up in US or some other land...apne desh mein they are different creatures of habit...i find it very weird! and most of ure examples are not too much to expect from people of either sex but as you say, so few actually live up to it.
- Amodini said...
I agree. I don't expect to have someone open doors for me - I have 2 hands - I can do it myself. If the person ahead of me holds the door for me, it is courtesy - I do the same for men/women behind me. Gender does not matter; it is upto both sexes to be courteous.
- Shruthi said...
Chitra, precisely!
Suyog, why am I not surprised? :) Thanks!
Older Bangalorean, that is extreme, and I think that is pretty silly :) And no, the earth still did not have me at that time, so I will refrain from commenting further! :)
Viky, Ah! Back with a postworthy comment! :) You know, I have a piece on the topics you have broached in your comment. It is amazing how rude people are. Just yesterday I came across a very very rude person, who prides herself on being frank. Frankness is ok, madam, I wanted to tell her. Rudeness is not. Bah! And I have seen all the specimens that you have talked about... makes me grieve.
Politeness, grace, courtesy - nowhere to be seen!
Fantastic comment, Viky! - 9/13/2006 9:50 AM

Rk, heh heh.. wish it were that easy :)
Shark, Maverick, oh, our people turn into saints and paragons of perfection the moment they step on foreign lands! But it is not that we in India do not have a history of being gracious and polite. I mean, look at the famous Lucknowi tradition, for example. I wonder ... is rudeness becoming a fashion?
Amodini, absolutely. Irrespective of the sex, courtesy is a must! - 9/13/2006 9:54 AM
Agree with Viky, same applies to traffic in Bangalore. No sign of courtesy anywhere.
If the traffic lights are not working, vehicles honk and everybody wants to go at the same time. Everybody ends up at the centre of the road. Instead, if people had shown some courtesy (rather sense), and followed a fcfs scheme, things would move smoothly.
Pedestrians are crossing the road and vehicles just zoom through without waiting for them to cross.
Not even kids, aged people or disabled are spared. - 9/13/2006 10:03 AM
It is rather strange to see a chivalrous woman... But men would lap up anything that comes their way ;;)
So ladies - how chivalrous you all are to men out there ? - 9/13/2006 10:38 AM
The _system_ in foreign countries force people to behave. So you can not blame our brave men and women for not bringing disrepute to this country.
We have it in our culture to be courteous and graceful; But we have long forgotten that. - 9/13/2006 11:25 AM
Glad to know that generation-X thinks differently.
I hope it is the turn of men in the next generation (X+1) to step up and become role models.
I don't wish to write more about the liberation movements of 60's and 70's either. I'm glad it is not the burning issue of this decade. - 9/13/2006 11:31 AM

Older Bangalorean, you seem to have had some pretty bad experiences with women's libbers of those days! ;) - 9/13/2006 12:48 PM
Oh, you are making me write :-( Argg..
Anyway, I was never affected personally; I had good time all through. But I felt bad to see several well-meaning-woman getting *distracted* by what I thought a useless issue. There was so much negative energy - some of them affected their personal lives, ruined careers and turned out to be one unhappy bunch in the end.
A lot of successful woman from those days, on the other hand, never bothered about this issue (rather didn't waste time and energy on it) at all. For example, I had worked for several woman bosses from those days - their focus was on the job and never the gender. No wonder they were quite successful in life.
Does anybody know the quote that went something like .. "Realization, repentence, reconciliation, and recogniztion always come later ????? "
That's probably something how it all went.
Over to generation-X now :-) - 9/13/2006 2:02 PM

Abt Situation 3 - I would expect the same but I dont think its possible in India cos there are too many people. Thats why I dont take the bus ever!
But ya, people need to learn to be courteous. And yes, I do hold doors for others. But I also expect a smile or a thank you or some acknowledgement from them in return which i dont get at times.
Oh, and btw, I am a Lakhnavi (in case u dont know that already) but sadly, people in Lucknow aren't very different from the ones in other cites now but they're still better. - 9/13/2006 2:13 PM
It's nice to know that people of Lucknow are better. When I was first embarking on my first north indian trip of my life, a close friend of mine from Varanasi totally scared the me by describing how things work in North India ! I remember him advising me to be careful if some one is walking around with a cobra or a snake, for he could very well put the snake on my head and demand money to get freed :-)
A friend of mine once had to sleep on the floor in a train because a north indian hit him and pushed him out of his reserved seat !
Being a non-hindi speaking guy, I was extremely scared during my trip. Even though nothing life threatening happened, I felt that it was not a very safe place to travel. - 9/13/2006 2:35 PM
- Shruthi said...
Older Bangalorean, Well, since I don't know much about that, I'd better not comment. But I do feel that if they were so vehement, there must have been a reason. I only hope they succeeded in their endeavours, even slightly!
And, yes the people of Lucknow are famous for their courtesy, at least that is how it has been traditionally. And err.. lets keep discussions about safety for some other time :)
Raj, you are right. When we don't receive any acknowledgement, it can be very irritating. That can be a lesson to learn too - when somebody is nice to you, smile or say thank you! :) They will not hesitate to do it yet again!
And yes, I knew you were from Lucknow.. and it kind of makes me sad to hear that it is not the same any longer. Anyway, I am sure some of the effects of the past can still be seen, nonetheless! - 9/13/2006 2:46 PM

I loved reading the comments for this post as much as the post itself. Seems courtesy and politeness have long since been forgotten being replaced with rudeness in the name of frankness. I agree that courtesy is not gender oriented, it is person oriented. Men don't have to be the only ones to be curteous, women have to be curteous too. I have, sadly, seen innumerable times, a pregnant lady struggling to stand in an overcrowded bus, an old man being shoved and pushed while trying to get on a bus....the list is endless. I could go on and on on this topic, but wouldn't want my comment to be longer than your post:))Great work bringing thses simple but much forgotten topics to the forfront. - 9/13/2006 7:21 PM
Hmmmmm .... must I turn around and say Chivalry is but display of courtesy ? Quoting Webster's definition of "Chivalrous" a : marked by honor, generosity, and courtesy b : marked by gracious courtesy and high-minded consideration especially to women
I am not trying to prove these terms are synonymous.
What is wrong in appreciating a courteous person or even feeling comfortable with her/him ? It is but natural for a human to seek comfort levels for interaction. Courteous conduct definitely a beginning towards that comfort. It is good social etiquette too.
Forget all this .. get to the basics .... how many of us are courteous to ourselves ?
Hmmm .. Deep thought ??
Did I speak too much ? :P - 9/13/2006 9:26 PM
Ooops, I got drawn away ... I wanted to point at webster's definition and pick on considerate in the definition. Again, Webster's definition of this word reads thoughtful of the rights and feelings of others
That's the key.
Anyone out there doesn't like being treated with consideration ?
(Sorry for the tailed post ! I should have been careful) - 9/13/2006 9:32 PM

Shruthi, hope you don't mind that I've linked you in my latest post on my blog. I really like your post and wanted to share with more people:)
Isnt it the case many times when Men show courtesy that a section of womankind thinks that they are "coming on to them"? I am all for politeness and courtesy, but I am sure many men are left confused- show some chivalry and get branded a flirt/ dont show any and get branded a jerk!! there is no way to win at all!!
Good point and yes, it happens.
Perhaps they are the less previleged in *understanding* courtesy and have no desire to have an independent opinion. Sad ! They would realise sooner or later that flirting is a state of mind, but being courteous is a way of life.
It shouldn't stop anyone from being courteous and more so, courteous to such less previleged humans. - 9/13/2006 11:48 PM
- Ranjit Nair said...
As you said, what's described here is not chivalry; its mere courtesy - acts that don't take even 3 seconds to perform, and yet are rarely, rarely done.
As for real, authentic chivalry, I dunno: Would a guy really give up his bus seat for a gal in today's world? I know I wouldn't - not unless she's carrying a baby or is pregnant. Of course, much of my views on bus-seats has to do with my aversion and contempt to the concept of ladies' seats.
As an aside: do you think the Indian government thinks it is being chivalrous? Our government has separate queues (at cinema halls, reservation counters), separate seats (buses), separate train compartments and even separate Parliament seats for women! If such 'special treatment' is not gallantry, then what is (never mind if it is insulting)! - 9/14/2006 8:52 AM
- Shruthi said...
Travel Plaza, glad you liked the post! And thank you for the link :) You are right, sometimes on buses, women themselves remain sitting, even when a pregnant lady is standing. If a woman cannot understand another woman's difficulty, then who will? Its all just "me, me" now.
Anon at 9 26 and 9 32, (who, I assume, are one and the same) - you are not turning around and saying anything. I am saying the same thing. I also saw the dictionary definition of chivalry and found that phrase "esp to women". That's why I worded this post like I did. And you are right - "consideration" is the key. A better word than courtesy in this context, perhaps.\
Anon at 11 23 pm, there is a fine line between a courteous man and a flirt. And believe me, we women can easily make out the difference. Maybe I can put it this way - a flirt is courteous in an exaggerated way - he wants you to know that he is being courteous. Whereas a truly courteous man does what he has to subtly. HE has no point to prove.
Anon at 11 48 pm, well put. Really. That should answer the previous Anon's question beautifully.
Ranjit, authentic chivalry - I don't know, and I don't really care much for it. As for your question, it is certainly food for thought. Warrants an entire post of its own.
I am not entirely against "ladies' seats" in buses - because at least this way, the men are forced to leave ladies alone and not paw them at the slightest opportunity. As for separate queues - I would rather have separate queues for physically challenged people, and for people with babies, perhaps. Whether it is a man or a woman. As for seats in parliament, I don't like the numbers - 33%, etc, but I do feel that there should be women in parliament. Preferably she should be in out of her own ability. Then again, there are clauses in these arguments too, so I will leave this discussion for later. - 9/14/2006 10:40 AM

A good one. Sort of reflects the current reality, as far gender roles and expectations go.
Some how I have my reservations on labels like "chivalry". But finally, it is all, as probably you illustrate, much to do with individual situations, that too with respect to the persons involved.
Some people like a bit of formality during the first meeting, others like it downright informality straightaway.
Different people take it differntly, at differnt occasions. I have seen so much of these things happening around, that I tend to be a little sceptical about generalisations. - 9/14/2006 12:04 PM
- Shruthi said...
Pradeep, thank you. Yes, it is always good to be wary about generalizations. And informality does not mean that you can be rude and uncourteous and inconsiderate. Actually that is what many people interpret it as, and that is what irks me!
GO PRADEEP !! You rock..
- Shruthi said...
Pradeep, You have a big fan in TOI rules! :) [Reference to previous post too!]
Call me old fashioned but I don't mind a little chivalry. It's a nice gesture in the sea of a wannabe politically correct world.
As an independent woman nearing her thirties, I've come to realize that I am a little bit more nurturing and compassionate than most of my male sidekicks. And that they are often a little bit more action-oriented than me...especially when it come to emotional issues. They don't see the grey, just the black and white.
I guess I'm just saying that we should embrace qualities that come naturally to us and not worry too much about being equals (of course, women are better silly) lol! (just kidding). But seriously, I no longer feel that I have to prove myself to be an equal. I embrace the uniqueness that is generally there in the sexes. And if a guy wants to kindly hold the door open...by all means. You will definitely see a big smile on my face. Sweetness is never out of fashion. - 9/15/2006 8:22 AM
- Shruthi said...
Vandana, well said! :) I agree with you, we should definitely do what comes naturally to us, but don't you think a little effort to be nicer to the people around us makes everybody happier? :)
I personally am not offended by "chivalry" either. Like you said, you will find me smiling too, if somebody holds a door open for me, for example.
Oh I am not talking about equality - whatever we do, there are still some inherent qualities which make a man and a woman different - not unequal, but different, and that differece is what makes the world an interesting place, what say you?
Anyway, whoever it is, if s/he shows me a little consideration or courtesy, it makes me so happy that I find myself smiling away to myself for the next few minutes. Such a little thing can spread so much happiness around - so why not cultivate it?! :) - 9/15/2006 9:33 AM
Hi Shruti,
Absolutely, I agree.
I think the word you're looking for might be KINDNESS! Let's all try to kind, kind to our partners, kind to strangers, kind to all those around us. :-) - 9/16/2006 11:01 PM
- Silkboard said...
it's for Viky's long comment.
Very well said man (or lady, I dont know). And when some foreign mag called an Indian city the rudest, some of us were fuming.
Courtesy is not a western thing as the press made us beleive then. Words like thank you and please exist in indian languages too. How many times do we hear them though?
But have you ever thought what is the reason for lack of civility all around us?
Viky - you really wrote a post worthy comment there. And I am going to race with Shruthi to write one on those things you said.
Cheers! - 9/18/2006 9:29 AM
- Shruthi said...
Vandana, yup! Kindness, and consideration - and voila! Happiness all around!
Silkboard, Ouch! Why do I have the feeling you will beat me to it? ;) - 9/18/2006 9:57 AM
- N said...
Well said!
- Shruthi said...
N, thank you!
Can't agree with you more... Increasingly we are just missing out on the niceties of life. And by we, I mean both men and women. Being courteous is indeed (and very sadly) become a big deal.
- Shruthi said...
Emma, you have noticed that too, I see. It is very sad indeed :(
- GuNs said...
You are correct here but there are many who take it for granted.
I used to wait for a bus for an hour in the hot sun (no shade and all) all dehydrated and hungry. When I finally got a bus, it would be full. In the 40 minute journey, I used to stand for half an hour and when I got a seat in the last 10 minutes, I was almost exausted enough to pass out. If some lady came to me and DEMANDED that I get up and give her the seat (unless its a seat reserved for ladies), I'd be more than happy to let loose my tongue at her.
I see it very often, ladies who just get into the bus expect people waiting for a seat since half an hour to leave it for them. ITs stupid. I mean, I mostly offer my seat to pregnant ladies, old people and hadicapped but to healthy young ladies?? Nope...go to hell !
A classic example is when we went trekking to Triund (Theres a post I wrote titled "Trek To Triund"), we came back after 5 hours of climbing up and 5 hours of climbing down in TORRENTIAL rain & a hailstorm. Got a seat in a bus and this man sitting beside me wanted me to get up and offer her a seat to a perfectly healthy lady in her late 20s. I'm like "I've come back from trekking for 10 hours in the mountains and I'm utterly exausted. I cannot offer my seat, sorry".
Sometimes women DO expect too much and not everyone is as level headed as you are. I applaud your sensibility...bravo !

By the way, I see no harm or shame in aplogogizing or thanking everyone who helps me like the doorman, the security guard, the office peon, the college peon, the janitor, the carpenter, rickshawalla etc. Unless the person is younger than me, I speak to them with respect and address them as "aap" even if its just the guy whos sweeping floors at my office.
IF that is chivalry, then yes I am chivalrous. I sometimes hold the door open for a lady if I feel like it and always if I'm the one to go in first (but that I do with everyone regardless of gender) but I dont make it a burden on myself.
I think this was a super post. Brought up such a large issue with minimal fuss. Good work done.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Part 1
How could we make progress on questions involving the evolution of form without a scientific understanding of how form is generated in the first place? [By the 1970s] population genetics had succeeded in establishing the principle that evolution is due to changes in genes, but this was a principle without an example. No gene that affected the form and evolution of any animal had been characterized. New insights in evolution would require breakthroughs in embryology.
Series: Evolution Basics
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Biological Evolution: What Makes it Good Science?
Is the contemporary theory of evolution an example of good science? Biologist Michael Buratovich explore this question in a well-researched two part essay.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Death and Rebirth: The Role of Extinction in Evolution
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment we explore how evolution is a theory in the scientific sense, how it is supported by converging lines of evidence, and how it can make accurate predictions about the natural world, using whale evolution as an example.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Series: He Who Has Ears
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Misconceptions About Evolution, Part 2
Evolutionary theory is not in crisis; scientists accept evolution as the best explanation for life's diversity because of the multiple lines of evidence supporting it, its broad power to explain biological phenomena, and its ability to make accurate predictions in a wide variety of situations.
Misconceptions About Evolution, Part 1
The website Understanding Evolution, hosted by The University of California Museum of Paleontology, Berkeley, offers its readers numerous helpful resources regarding the science and history of evolutionary biology.

Director: Alain ResnaisCast:Emmanuelle Riva, Eiji Okada, Stella DassasFrance, Japan, 1959, 90', black & whiteFrench with Turkish subtitlesHiroshima, 1958. A French actress is working on an antiwar film. Shooting, weeks over schedule, is finally nearing its end. Forty-eight hours before her departure, she meets a Japanese man. Their imaginations weave the city's tragic memories into their lovemaking. With Hiroshima My Love, cinema shows the suggestive power of memory, drawing on the poetry of words with a literary dialogue and newsreels as documentary traces of history. As for fiction, it belongs to the sphere of experience, the experience that links the images of a past reality with their movement towards the characters' present and especially the present of the audience watching them.
