Way back in March I blogged about my song "Always Entertaining Me (The La-La Song)." At the time, it looked like a Korean TV show, IRIS, might use it in a scene. Later I was told it wouldn't work out. I forgot all about it.
Then this morning, I got an email from someone saying he had been watching on Hulu, heard my song, Googled the lyrics and found me! He just wanted to say he liked the song. What? I honestly thought someone was messing with me. But no... Turns out it's true! Check it out... At about the 44:00 mark:

A former Miss Argentina dies after cosmetic surgery goes tragically wrong. I really don't know what to say about this one. Partly because I don't understand the derriere obsession that rages in certain cultural circles. But more to the point, here we have a case of a beauty queen who, while still young and in her thirties, was looking for surgery to enhance whatever she felt was lacking in her own physique.
I'm not opposed to cosmetic surgery in some cases. But this tragedy seems be heightened by the fact that the woman was already a great beauty and probably had less of a valid reason to seek surgical enhancement than 99% of women who might entertain the thought. I mean, at the end of the day it's your butt we're talking about.
This woman was already extremely beautiful. Too bad she didn't know it. Do you know anyone who is beautiful but still doesn't see herself as good enough?

Today's Reading: Matthew 17:22-27, 18:15-35; Mark 9:30-32, 11:22-25; Luke 9:43b-45
As we enter into this week's holiday celebrations, let us consider the freedom we experience when we choose forgiveness and mercy. What would our life look like if we consistently LET FORGIVENESS FLOW and mercy show? What would it sound like to truly let freedom ring?
If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two or three witnesses. If the person refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won't accept the church's decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.
"I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
"I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them." – Matthew 18:15-20
Then Jesus said to the disciples, "Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it will be yours. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too." – Mark 11:22-25
Here are two separate moments in which Jesus coupled the issue of forgiveness and restoration with the idea of our prayers being answered. UNFORGIVENESS BLOCKS OUR PRAYER LIFE. God's plan is for us to be all about forgiving others and bringing restoration into relationships that are strained or in need of resolution. I am to walk into these situations in strong faith that God will be in the middle of it all, that He will be with us through our attempts at restoration. Our own forgiveness depends on our commitment to forgiving others, not just in our hearts but through necessary conversations.
"Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
"If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins." – Matthew 6:9-15
Then Peter came to him and asked, "Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?"
"No, not seven times," Jesus replied, "but seventy times seven!"
"Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars. He couldn't pay, so his master ordered that he be sold – along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned – to pay the debt.
"But the man fell down before his master and begged him, 'Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.' Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.
"But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment.
"His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. 'Be patient with me, and I will pay it,' he pleaded. But his creditor wouldn't wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.
"When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened. Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, 'You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. Shouldn't you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?' Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.
"That's what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart." – Matthew 18:21-35
Jesus lived out this kind of forgiveness. He knew he was going to be betrayed by one of his closest followers, one of the Twelve. He knew he would be handed over to those who were plotting against him. He knew he would be killed and how significant his death and resurrection would be to the forgiveness of all. Yet he lived an example of being a good citizen, paying the Temple tax in order not to offend those who were going to be instrumental in his coming death.
Father, reveal in me any unforgiveness. Strengthen my faith to believe that you will be with me in any attempt I make to restore a relationship or extend a hand of forgiveness. May the words coming out of my mouth reflect a heart of forgiveness – not bitterness, unforgiveness or gossip. Make me uncomfortable with any relationship or situation in which you want me to seek restoration. Transform my mind, precious Lord. May my life be described as FORGIVEN and not UNFORGIVING.

Palinism of the Day: Vice Presenatorident
KUSA NEWS: Governor, we've been trying to engage some local grade schoolers for the last few elections. We do a feature called "Questions from the Third Grade."
Sarah Palin: Good.
KUSA: Brandon Garcia wants to know, "What does the Vice President do?"
Palin: Oh, that's something that Piper would ask me, as a second grader, also. Uh, that's a great question, Brandon, and a Vice President has a really great job, because not only are they there to support the President's agenda, they're, like, the team member, the team mate to that President. But also, they're in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the Senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom and it's a great job and I look forward to having that job.
— Sarah Palin, October 20, 2008, describing her understanding of the powers of the Vice President in an interview.
The Vice President is not "in charge" of the Senate. The only power a Vice President has in the Senate is to break a tie. See Article I, Section III of the U.S. Constitution:
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
Sarah Palin is going to find herself disappointed, even if she is elected. Will somebody tell her beforehand?

DENVER—Colorado has an official state amphibian.
A bill making the western tiger salamander the official amphibian was signed into law Friday.
A Denver primary school class suggested the designation. Gov. John Hickenlooper visited with the kids and told them they were a model for others. He jokingly told them that they'd changed "the future of salamanders everywhere." Three of the critters were also on hand for the event.
The western tiger salamander is found in every Colorado county.

Federico Balzaretti has refused to name Roma's objectives for the new season. "We're just thinking about winning and entertaining."
The Giallorossi have opted to go down the Zdenek Zeman attacking football path again after the Czech Coach replaced Luis Enrique as boss following his resignation.
"I don't want to start drawing up League tables before the championship has even started," the summer signing from Palermo noted.
"We are just thinking about winning and entertaining.
"This is a place that easily gets excited and this enthusiasm is certainly a fine starting point for us to work.
"We as players, however, have the necessity to keep our feet on the ground."
Roma were one of the League's big disappointments last season as their seventh place finish saw them miss out of qualification for European football this term.

An eatery called Portelli's Joe n' Dough Café is slated to open Saturday (2/2) at 66 Central Ave. in Albany, former site of Johny's Diner and, before that, a hot-dog spot. Posts on its Facebook page and a conversation with the owner suggest a menu that will include wings, burgers and, of course, coffee and doughnuts. One of the latter is described thus:
THE STIGLEMONKEY- A store made glazed cake donut with a Nutella frosting and topped with banana.
Owner Alexander Portelli tells me his resumé includes Ristorante Paradiso and Cardona's Market in Albany and, most recently, Blu Stone Bistro in Colonie.
"We're looking to do basic, simple stuff done right," he says. Hot dogs will be sourced from Helmbold's in Troy and other meats from Route 66 Meats & Smokehouse in Wynantskill.
Hours are projected to be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. Friday to 4:30 a.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday to 4:30 a.m. Sunday. Morning breakfast hours may be added in the coming months.

Brothers Rishi and Sterling Chatergoon were ordered on Thursday to attend Alcoholics Anonymous sessions for five years as they were sentenced for kidnapping and assaulting the uncle with whom they had spent hours drinking.
Friend Rishi Boodoo, who was jointly charged with the siblings, will also attend sessions for three years.
It was last December that mason Rishi Chatergoon, 34; chef Sterling Chatergoon, 37, and Boodoo, 27, an excavator operator, were found guilty before the San Fernando Third Criminal Court for kidnapping and committing common assault against Seedath Chatergoon.
Boodoo faced an additional charge of common assault against Seedath Chatergoon's son, Govindra, who was 14 years old at the time.
Defence attorney Subhas Panday had said that rum drinking was at the source of the problem.
It was the State's case, as led by attorney Trevor Jones, that around 5 p.m. on February 26, 2005, the four started liming and drinking.
When they arrived at Seedath Chatergoon's Gopee Trace, Penal home around 11.30 p.m., there was an altercation with Boodoo and Govindra Chatergoon.
Seedath Chatergoon intervened and was assaulted by the three men, who then threw him into the back seat of his car and drove off.
Along SS Erin Road, Chatergoon was thrown from the car into a six-foot drain.
Jones called five witnesses in the case, including three police officers and Seedath Chatergoon and his son.
Rishi and Sterling Chatergoon and Boodoo testified during their trial. They admitted they had been drinking with Seedath Chatergoon, but denied they had committed the acts against him.
On Thursday, Justice Althea Alexis-Windsor said the offences were fuelled by the use of alcohol.
Panday said Rishi Chatergoon had ten pending matters before the court and had one conviction for robbery with violence, while Sterling Chatergoon had seven pending matters and four convictions, including common assault, burglary, possession of marijuana, and obscene language.
The judge placed both on $10,000 bonds to keep the peace for five years.
Boodoo was placed on $5,000 bond to keep the peace for three years.
The men will attend Alcoholics Anonymous classes for the duration of the bonds.
Alexis-Windsor referred the men to National Family Services and they are also to attend the probation office, where they will be placed under the supervision of a probation officer.

OK, I'm a woman and I think I just got the shaft. I brought my car in for an oil change at a "chain repair shop". He asked if I wanted to have a regular oil change or synthetic and asked how many miles I would drive before changing it again. I said, "I drive about 7,500 miles. The recommended time by the maintenance minder." He said I should use the synthetic oil and now I can drive up to 8500-9000 miles until the next oil change. What do you guys think?
He also mentioned after changing the oil that it was dark and a little low.
have the same problem?

- Try to delete all files start with 'dovecot.' in mailbox, then try again with Roundcube. It's safe to delete them, dovecot will rebuild them on next login.
- Maybe setup a new Roundcube database will solve it, no idea at all.
$rcmail_config['enable_caching'] = false;
Everything works perfect if i use outlook imap/pop client to view the messaged but round cube only displays old message.
I did not migrate the roundcube database from the old server to the new. so the new roundcube had to read everything fresh.
I can switch the roundcube databases if need be.
I have migrated my iRedMail(mysql) installation to a new server and i have just noticed right now that roundcube does not pickup any of the new e-mail being delivered to the mailbox.
imap/pop3 do have all the messages old and new but roundcube does not display the new ones.
imap: * STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES 60)
pop3: 60 3710
Now since i moved servers with migration the new file are created under a new extension as you see below. I already tested renaming the new files to the old server name but it still does not pickup them.
I have tried deleting the dovecot cache files and setting no cache for roundcube w/o any progress.

Shen shuts out Niskayuna-Schenectady in a 12-0 rout
Published 10:59 pm, Saturday, February 22, 2014
Four players tallied two goals and Ben Farstad turned away all six shots he faced as No. 1 Shenendehowa blitzed No. 4 Niskayuna-Schenectady, 12-0, Saturday in a Section II boys' hockey semifinal game at Clifton Park Arena.

Shenendehowa will try to unseat four-time defending section champion Saratoga on Tuesday at Union College. The puck drops at 7:08 p.m.
In the only meeting between the teams this year, Saratoga beat Shenendehowa 5-1 on Feb. 6 at Weibel Rink in Saratoga.

Andre Ayew recovers to start for Marseille at Sochaux
Andre Ayew has been named in Olympique Marseille's starting lineup to face Sochaux on Sunday night.
The Ghana midfielder has recovered from a hamstring injury to play a part in Marseille's away game from the onset.
The 23-year-old was left out of the Ghana squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations after failing to report to the team's Abu Dhabi camp at the prescribed time.
The midfielder who was originally ruled out for five days has since been working with Marseille's physios and medical experts during the team's training camp in Morocco.
He is now deemed fully fit to start the must-win game at Sochaux.
Les Phoceens need the win to keep in touch with the leading teams in the French Ligue 1 where Marsielle are level on points with PSG and Olympique Lyon.

Danny says:January 14, 2013 04:34 amI was amazed to hear the likes of Opare Addo and co saying AA should have exercise patience. Patience for what? The players who are ready to die for mother Ghana are those who reported for camp. he and his pals downplayed the win over Egypt, what about Tunisia? Is Tunisia also not a good side or they paraded a second string side against Ghana? Please let us uphold discipline and hardwork at all times and stop making ordinary mortals look more important than others. God bless Ghana and the Black Stars.
Fifa One says:January 14, 2013 12:21 amJimmy i agree with you.
Words says:January 13, 2013 10:45 pmI was happy when he was dropped. Excellent player but thinks Ghana has never seen da likes of him. Brings division to camp. Remember where u started from. One of the reason why Gh. will do so well this time is bcos da players are united. I expect AA to take GH to da finals of AFCON n win da cup.

Multiple Benefits of NAT Boosts Uptake of NAT Reagents for Clinical Applications in Europe
Nucleic acid-based amplification technique (NAT) has allowed the highly specific detection and quantification of extremely low levels of disease agents. This has supported effective therapeutic management through the monitoring of patients
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.drugdiscovery.frost.com), European Nucleic Acid-based Amplification Reagents Markets for Clinical Applications, finds that the market earned revenues of USD432.0 million in 2007 and estimates this to reach USD1,153.0 million in 2014."The increase in automation technology and the use of quantitative PCR (qPCR) and multiplexing provides an early, rapid and accurate method to diagnose disease states and medical disorders," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Bela Sheth. "End users are slowly realising the benefits of being able to detect clinically relevant genetic variations in patients to help doctors better predict disease risk and progression. This allows them to select the most appropriate therapy sooner, which can decrease healthcare costs significantly in the long- term."
There are several tests for infectious diseases that use NAT technology, including for HIV, HBV, HCV, HPV, CT, GC, HSV, CMV, MTB, Legionella species, Mycloplasma pneumoniae, Group A strep, EBV and VZV. The sensitivity and the accuracy of NAT technology and the rise in automation are driving the growth of this segment.
NAT technology for genetic testing is still in its early growth stage, however the completion of the human genome project and the increase in the number of biomarkers that are being identified is catalysing this market. The development of NAT tests for screening purposes, such as for HPV testing and expanded DTC advertising, augurs well for long-term market growth.
However, reimbursement is a key issue in several European countries. While end users have started to recognise the benefits of using NAT technology, the high costs associated with instrumentation and reagents constitute a major concern.
"NAT diagnostic kits can play a very important part in detecting infectious agents, genetic disorders, predicting the likelihood of having cancer and monitoring a therapy," explains Sheth. "However, the major question gripping the industry is whether these technologies are cost effective. The alternative methods for clinical applications such as home-brewed assays, immunoassays, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and culture techniques continue to be less expensive than NAT reagents."
With the wide range of alternative technology available in the market to detect infectious agents and medical disorders, price has always been a sensitive issue with regards to NAT technology.
"Therefore, strategies such as educating end users and undertaking widespread marketing to make customers aware of NAT products and their benefits can be useful," advises Sheth. "Focusing on automation and multi-parameter kits can encourage the use of this technology, and promote sustained market growth."

Working through the list of Oscar nominees for last year, we come to this modest documentary about the final days of the Vietnam War. Specifically, it focuses on the evacuation of Americans and the Vietnamese who aided the Americans and feared reprisals from the Communists just prior to the Fall of Saigon in 1975. To be fair, this is of course the Western name for that day and Vietnam as it exists today understandably prefers to call it Reunification Day.
It does spend some time establishing the context, explaining how the resignation of Richard Nixon due to the Watergate scandal in 1974 emboldened the North Vietnamese. Nixon's successor Gerald Ford was unable to persuade the U.S. Congress to increase aid to South Vietnam and subsequently the North were able to steamroll through the South with contemptuous ease. But most of its time is spent showing how most Americans in Vietnam were well aware that the South was lost even in early 1975 and were frustrated by the refusal of the U.S. embassy in Saigon to plan for an orderly evacuation.
A surprising amount of vitriol is directed against ambassador Graham Martin. The documentary makes the case that having lost a son in combat, Martin was absolutely committed to the cause of the South Vietnamese state and refused to consider any scenario that involved the Americans abandoning Vietnam. As such he viewed any attempt to even draw up an evacuation plan, much less carry one out, to be treason since it would harm morale. This explains why the evacuation, when it finally became inevitable, was so chaotic and unbecoming of the well-oiled American military machine.
All this was before my time of course, but I'm still old enough to have grown up knowing how this rushed and disorderly exit from Vietnam was a humiliation for the U.S and a symbol of how pointless and futile the whole war was. Watching this, I learned that it was even crazier and more desperate than I'd ever imagined. An eye-opening example of this is the story of how South Vietnamese helicopter pilots would land on the decks of U.S. ships waiting off the coast and then the crew would physically push the chopper off the deck and into the sea in order to make room for the next helicopter.
After being bitten by Blackfish, both my wife and myself are pretty sensitive about documentaries making misleading statements so I took extra care to read up on the events after watching this film. As far as I can tell, the depiction here seems to be honest. The only misgivings I have is that, in the grand scheme of things, the evacuation from the U.S. embassy feels so inconsequential. It's an incredible story and a dramatic one, so I don't fault the filmmakers for spending so much time on it. But in terms of actual numbers, the helicopter lifts from the embassy only took a few thousand people while the entire evacuation effort moved nearly 140,000 people.
Finally, I can't shake the feeling that in the end it turned out to not be so necessary after all. As far as I know, the much feared blood bath following the Fall of Saigon never came and indeed from my reading, it seems as if the North Vietnamese deliberately paused their advance on the outskirts of Saigon to give the Americans ample time to evacuate and thereby avoid a direct confrontation.
At the same time, I don't doubt that on an individual level this was an incredibly trying time for everyone and being able to get out of Vietnam was a singularly life-changing event for those involved. You need only listen to the American accents of the Vietnamese interviewed in this documentary who were mere children at that time to understand this. Having lived through a similar, though much less dangerous, experience twice in the Solomon Islands during the ethnic violence of 2001 and 2006, I can attest that this documentary aptly captures the growing feeling of panic in the air as everyone waits for something terrible to happen.
Overall, this is a solid documentary that is written, produced and directed by Rory Kennedy, the youngest daughter of the late Robert Kennedy. It's American-centric of course, so it laments how the South Vietnamese have lost everything, even their country, but makes no mention of the sense of pride and joy of the North Vietnamese at having successfully unified their country. So with the caveat that it only covers one tiny part of a much larger story, I'd say that it's a fascinating documentary for anyone who has any interest in the Vietnam War.

Although the name on the wall says Bodega Santa Cruz this bar is known by all the locals as Las Columnas. A lively "cheap & cheeful" spot (tapas average at around 2€) that's very popular with both local and foreign students. As there are just a few tables inside people tend to spill out into the street, eating and drinking and chatting. The bar staff are used to fast and furious service, and provide it with a smile.
Some of the best tapas are the montaditos – small filled rolls, either hot or toasted – and I have to say the pringá is exceptional. Hot tapas include various stews, fried fish and some grilled meats. Twenty-odd years ago when I lived across the street this used to be my go-to neighbourhood bar for a quick snack on the way to work, and it remains one of the few authentic family-run spots in Mateos Gago. Except they no longer put down sawdust.

With the school opening looming up ahead, the idea of transitioning your child with autism can prove to be daunting. Starting school can be a difficult time even for normal kids, more so with a child who has limited cognitive, social, and other developmental skills. Like normal kids, children on the spectrum also feel the same excitement and anxiety. This change can be difficult for them— the scenery, the people, their responsibility as students, co-existing with others, and so on. This often leads to sudden (and somehow negative) changes in behavior.
By now, you must have already looked into a number of schools in your area and have found the right one for your child. To gear your child for the so-called "first day high," try looking into these helpful tips and see if any of these can work with his or her level of ASD.
1. Try creating a social story to go along with the preparation. Pictures and video presentation prove to be effective channels to show them what school is like, how to go with the usual morning/afternoon routine, and other school activities.
2. Create creatively the list of daily activities he or she will have to take from waking up to brushing, walking/riding to school, entering the classroom, and so on. If possible, try to ask the school administration if it is okay for you and your child to look around.
3. Prepare a calendar complete with pictures. Indicate lunch with the picture of the school cafeteria or toilet time with the comfort room or playtime with a picture of the school playground with children playing.
4. Before school officially starts, ask if it is okay for your child to meet his or her new teacher. Let the teacher and the school's guidance counselor know about certain "obsessions" that your child may have. Often, visiting school ahead of time and meeting the people he or she will encounter head-on can ease their way into transition.
5. Communicate, communicate. Whatever your child's ASD level, it is imperative that you ask about what he or she feels. Engage him or her in the whole process. His or her feelings should come first and foremost on this journey. Make him or her feel secured and assured, that school is a safe haven. Instill happy thoughts in meeting new friends. He or she may be socially challenged, but this does not negate the thought of feeling the same level of excitement in meeting new acquaintances.
6. Reassure your child that school is his or her second home. While "Mommy" or "Daddy" help resolves problems for him at home, he or she now has an extra set of helping hands with "teacher" (be specific with the name of the teacher to make him familiar) around.
7. Try to check if there are kids in the neighborhood who will be going on the same classes with your child. Sometimes, letting them connect to others before school starts can greatly eliminate unforeseen circumstances during transition.
8. Make sure to find out what after-school activities can your child join. Some sports activities are excellent activities for children with ASDs.
9. Include your child's therapist on this process. It is imperative that you are fully guided on every endeavor you pursue to ensure zero meltdown.
10. Be extra attentive. Some kids on the spectrum have a hard time coping with these sudden changes. Make sure to prioritize your child's welfare before anything else.
Each child with Autism Spectrum Disorder has a different way of dealing with changes in their environment. These tips may prove to be effective to others but, in everything else, you alone know what works best for him or her.

Atheist & Little Girl
Posted 28 March 2012 - 07:58 AM
Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no God or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly.
"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death, when you don't know shit?"
And then she went back to reading her book

Album version
My name is Joe Roberts, I work for the state
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville, barracks number 8
I always done an honest job, as honest as I could
I got a brother named Franky, and Franky ain't no good
Now ever since we was young kids, it's been the same come down
I get a call on the shortwave, Franky's in trouble downtown
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way
Yeah me and Franky laughin' and drinkin', nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family, well he just ain't no good
Well Franky went in the army back in 1965
I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed
Franky came home in '68 and me I took this job
Yeah we're laughin' and drinkin', nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family, he ain't no friend of mine
Well the night was like any other, well I got a call 'bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad, bleedin' hard from his head
There was a girl cryin' at a table and it was Frank, they said
Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
Well I musta done a hundred and ten through Michigan County that night
It was out at the crossroads, down 'round Willow bank
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates, behind the wheel was Frank
Well I chased him through them county roads
Till a sign said "Canadian border five miles from here"
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear
Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin', nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family, he just ain't no good
HIGHWAY PATROLMAN is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and released on his 1982 album Nebraska. The above lyrics are for the album version of HIGHWAY PATROLMAN as released in 1982.
The song has the same stark, bleak atmosphere as the remainder of the album, and in terms of instrumentation, contains simply vocals, very quiet harmonica, and finger-picked acoustic guitar. Dave Marsh wrote in his book Glory Days: Bruce Springsteen In The 1980s, "Springsteen's voice quakes as he sings the final verse, and when Joe [Roberts] finally watches his brother's 'taillights disappear,' the voice breaks and Bruce fumbles the guitar pick, which he has otherwise strummed steadily throughout the song."
The song was originally titled "Deputy" but it was changed to "Highway Patrolman" upon its release.
The album version of HIGHWAY PATROLMAN features Bruce Springsteen solo on vocals, acoustic guitar, and harmonica. It was cut in late December 1981 or early January 1982 at Springsteen's home in Colts Neck, NJ, and included on the Nebraska demo tape of January 1982 (see the below section for more details). Actually four takes were recorded between late December 1981 and early January 1982 but only one was included on the Nebraska demo tape. The remaining three takes have not surfaced among collectors.
According to Sony's database of Springsteen recording sessions, HIGHWAY PATROLMAN was also recorded on 30 Apr 1982 at The Power Station in New York City, NY. No take of HIGHWAY PATROLMAN from these sessions with the E Street Band at The Power Station has surfaced among collectors.
Following The River Tour, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band were scheduled to start recording the next album in New York City in February 1982. Springsteen felt that the upcoming band studio sessions would progress faster than they had for his previous three albums if he first records finished demos and demonstrates them to the band. He decided to record multi-channel, professional sounding, finished demos of some songs he had written during the period.
To achieve his goal, Springsteen asked his guitar technician, Mike Batlan, in December 1981 to set up a recording facility in a spare room at his home in Colts Neck, NJ. Some modification work was done to the room making it more receptive to achieving a decent sound. Batlan purchased a Teac Tascom Series 144 4-track cassette recorder, two Shure SM57 microphones, and two microphone stands. The sound was mixed through an old Gibson Echoplex and an old Panasonic boom box acted as the mix-down deck.
Batlan told journalist David McGee, "Springsteen began organizing his work for Nebraska during the first week of December 1981 – that's when I was directed to buy the four-track... actual recording began on 17 or 18 December and ended around January 3." Some of the songs were recorded two or three times in slightly different arrangements. A cassette tape was compiled and edited at the end of the sessions, likely on 03 Jan 1982. It contained fourteen songs recorded during these late December 1981 / early January 1982 sessions plus what is almost certainly a live recording of a fifteenth song, JOHNNY BYE-BYE. It also included seven alternate takes and five alternate mixes. The first person to listen to the tape was Jon Landau. Two or three months later, Springsteen recorded two additional songs (MY FATHER'S HOUSE and THE BIG PAYBACK) at home on the same equipment – thus making a total of 17 different songs.
The solo demo tape was never conceived to result in a commercially released album, as the songs were recorded by the E Street Band with multi-instrument arrangements, during what's known by fans as the "Electric Nebraska Sessions". It should be noted that most of the songs were not recorded in "rock" arrangements. Instead, Springsteen and Max Weinberg just added light percussion, or Roy Bittan added a synth pad.
During the E Street Band sessions it became apparent to Springsteen that a majority of these songs did not lend themselves well to a full band arrangement. He later wrote in his 1998 book Songs, "I went into the studio, brought in the band, rerecorded, remixed, and succeeded in making the whole thing worse." At one point he even went back into the studio with an acoustic guitar to try and re-record the songs solo, but the result lacked the atmosphere and feeling of isolation only found on the original home demos. According to Toby Scott, Springsteen handed him the original solo demo tape in April 1982 and asked him if it was possible to just master off the tape, with the intention to release some of the songs as a solo album. It took Scott a few weeks before eventually saying yes and in May a decision was taken to release a solo album ahead of the still-in-progress E Street Band album.
Most of the E Street Band arrangements of these songs were discarded and ten of the original solo demos from the tape were released on the Nebraska album. Max Weinberg revealed to Rolling Stone in June 2010 that the recording of the "Electric Nebraska Sessions" does exist. He said that "the E Street Band actually did record all of Nebraska and it was killing [...] It was all very hard-edged. As great as it was, it wasn't what Bruce wanted to release. There is a full band Nebraska album, all of those songs are in the can somewhere."
"Open All Night" and "January 3, 1982" were considered as titles for the album, but ultimately "Nebraska" was chosen. The album was produced by Bruce Springsteen and was commercially released on 20 Sep 1982 by Columbia Records.
Nebraska features 10 new Springsteen compositions and clocks at 40:50.

HIGHWAY PATROLMAN was the inspiration for the Sean Penn directed 1991 film The Indian Runner (see info about the film below), and in 2000, Penn directed a video for HIGHWAY PATROLMAN in which he used scenes from The Indian Runner to create a moody visual interpretation of the story. The previously unreleased video was included on Springsteen's The Complete Video Anthology / 1978-2000 DVD which was released in 2001. It was also posted on Bruce Springsteen's VEVO YouTube channel in February 2014.
Video Anthology / 1978-88 is a collection of 18 Bruce Springsteen music videos and concert performances, released in VHS format on 31 Jan 1989. The home video was also released on LaserDisc.
Sonny reissued the video on 16 Jan 2001 in DVD format. Titled The Complete Video Anthology / 1978-2000, the new release added a second disc with 15 additional music video, concert performances, and television appearances.

A short blog today, but a challenging one.
I was talking about Movenbank with a colleague and mentioned that it was going to be the world's first paperless, cardless bank.
They looked at me quizzically.
What do you mean?
I said "no cash, no card, just mobile contactless".
They thought I was off the planet, but that's the promise on the homepage of Movenbank.
Here's what the bank says on their website:
What does no plastic mean?
It won't be very long before the plastic card you are carrying around in your wallet becomes a collector's item – ok well a useless piece of junk might be more apt. We believe the future of payments and banking is in the mobile phone and mobile wallet. It's faster, it's way more secure, and above all it provides us the ability to interact with our customers when they spend. When was the last time you were able to see your current balance or rate on your plastic card?
Movenbank is designed to be used everyday, wherever you are, but you won't pull out cash or plastic from your wallet – you'll be using your phone. Your mobile phone is at the core of the way Movenbank works. Some may feel threatened by that possibility – at Movenbank we call it inevitable. But there's one other key to our focus on no plastic – it has to be about making banking easier and better.
How will I pay without plastic?
Contactless payment technology has been in use around the world for more than a decade. In some parts of the world, such as the United States, the adoption of this has been slower. However, with Google rolling out their Google Wallet, with PayPal, Starbucks, Square, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, ISIS and many others now rushing to launch mobile payments capability, the infrastructure is rapidly being deployed.
Within a couple of years, contactless payments will all be pretty much standard. Already you can use a contactless card or your mobile phone to pay at places like Best Buy, Walmart, CVS, GAP, McDonalds, Walgreens, KFC, Starbucks, 7-Eleven, National Car Rental, AMC Movie Theatres, taxis in New York City and San Francisco, Nordstrom, and hundreds of thousands more locations. Movenbank works just the same as your existing debit or credit card, it's just that you don't need to swipe anything, you just touch your phone to the point-of-sale and the transaction is initiated.
No Paper? Ever?
That's our aim. You'll get your statement and receipts online, and these will provide you with much more information than you currently get from your bank, and it will all be easier to understand. That way you'll be able to manage your finances even better.
When it comes to new services or products from Movenbank, we'll be doing everything we can online or through the mobile. On occasions we're presented with regulations when we might need to ask you some specific questions, or deal with a specific problem you're facing that might require some written form of communication. However, we think that we'll be saving lots of trees and at the same time working much simpler and easier. Most of the time when a bank asks you to fill out a form, it's not because they need your signature on the paper – it's just the way they've worked for the last 40 years and they can't be bothered to change it.
So the deal is that the bank exists as a mobile app supporting contactless payments.
Contactless payments does not mean purely NFC or RFID as Square offers a contactless method with no chip involved, just an app, but it is a radical vision.
Nevertheless, you then see figures from Forrester that support Movenbank's logic.
In the US today, Consumer Technographics® data shows that mobile usage is still far from mature in many industries. Take the financial industry as an example: 21% of US online adults with a mobile phone do any form of mobile banking versus 73% of US online adults who do online banking. When looking at the different generations, we see that younger generations, who are more likely to be early smartphone adopters, dominate in mobile banking.
In other words, the youth of today who are the mainstream consumer of tomorrow, are totally into the idea of mobile finance.
That's the target group that Movenbank is going after and the idea of cards and cash being passé is therefore a reality.
Or is it?
What do you think?

When I had Abid and my only other real comparisons were Fetco bulk brews and such, yep, seemed like a pretty fine replacement.
My current v60 brews kick the ever living crap out of Abid but then again, I am cheating. Maybe you just got to get all Mr. Miyagi and learn to use the kettle.

"Can't stand"? Really? As in make you want to gag? I find that hard to believe.

Andy Schecter wrote:The bar at the top is a lever than clamps and unclamps the brew chamber and "portafilter" in position. Brett, I'm not sure your comment is accurate, because locking and unlocking on a Trifecta does not involve the twisting motion of an espresso portafilter. I believe it's mostly the twisting that puts an untoward strain on some people's wrists.
Brett Hanson wrote:Which hand position is more comfortable for you to repeat long-term and while applying weight: pointing (like using a portafilter)?, OR

I'm no ergo expert, but the latter seems like it makes more sense.

It's a really cool video and the cafe workflow is a great merchandising tool for selling roasted beans, V60's and kettles. But you can't tell from the video if the coffee is consistently good....

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Teacher (10/26/06)
TITLE: The Art Cupboard
By Karen Schravemade
"Mrs Keely? Are you in there?"
I crinkled up my nose, trying to block out the sound of that thin, reedy voice. Breathe deep, I told myself. There is nothing else. Just blissful darkness, and the heavenly aroma of Chromacryl paint, mixed with the heady scent of Clag glue…
"Mrs Keely?"
The voice wouldn't go away. It was like a burr caught in my sock; a vague irritation at the edge of my consciousness. The thing with burrs, I reminded myself, was to stay very, very still, so that they couldn't work their way through the fabric and pierce the delicate skin… Stay still, and breathe very, very deeply…
There was a sudden draft of air, and light broke over me like a wave. I blinked, feeling somewhat like a rabbit caught in headlights. A gaggle of children were standing at the open door of the cupboard, hilarity and bafflement by turns written on their faces.
"Mrs Keely, what you doin' in the art cupboard?"
I cleared my throat, picturing myself through their eyes - a middle-aged woman in high heels, slightly plump, crouched precariously beneath shelves crammed with pipe-cleaners and coloured macaroni. A trickle of sweat crawled like ants between my shoulder-blades.
"Um – Mrs Keely?"
They were staring at me as though they'd discovered an alien in the cupboard. I straightened my skirt in an attempt to salvage my dignity. Words failed me. I grabbed wildly for the closest item on the cupboard shelf, which happened to be a rolling pin.
"Ah, children, you should be doing your maths exercises quietly at your own desks. You can't all be finished yet. I am undertaking some preparations for this afternoon's art lesson –"
"Why was the door shut? Were you playing hide and seek?"
"Er, no." Just hide, I thought.
"What's the rolling pin for, Miss?"
To clip you round the ears with, I thought. "To roll the clay out," I said, and then thought, oh, flip. Clay? What on EARTH am I thinking? Am I certifiably INSANE?
"Clay? Cool! Hey everyone, guess what we're doing for art this afternoon?!"
And so it began.
By three o'clock that afternoon, I had picked clay out of five heads of hair; separated two boys who were attacking each other with rolling pins; performed emergency surgery on a freckled child who put clay up her nose and then couldn't get it out; scraped two acres of carpet; and administered counselling to a hysterical girl after the class bully squashed her clay monkey into a pancake.
By the time the last child left for the day, my right eyelid had developed a persistent twitch.
I looked guiltily over my shoulder like a shoplifting teenager, and slunk back into the cupboard.
Jesus, I confessed, I know where you were coming from now. You know that time you wanted to get away so bad that you got into a boat and taught the people from the lake? Well, I know you were teaching the multitudes, and I'm just teaching Year Three – but I want you to know, I understand. Well, more to the point, I guess YOU understand. And I may not have a boat, but I have a cupboard. And for all these blessings, Lord, I am truly grateful.
I breathed in the sweet smell of acrylic paint, and thought I could hear Jesus laughing with me.

Ok, not really of DOOM. But, oh the mishaps were very Lathrop-y.
Because it is so much fun and we have such a wonderful time with it at the Mocks, I tracked down a Beatles Rock Band Limited Edition bundle. It comes with a drum set, Hoffner bass controller, microphone and microphone stand. Buying all the pieces separately can easily creep to $200+. Sears.com has the Limited Edition bundle for $99. WIN! Rock Band 3 was on sale at Amazon (sans keyboard for now) and we were in business. It just all needed to get here. I hate both paying for shipping and being patient. I had to wait! Days! for these things to make their way to me. DAYS! In the five minutes we were snuggling upstairs, UPS came to the door and knocked a knock that sounded rather a lot like a cat running up the steps to us. Boo.
Friday we were supposed to go to Southern Maryland to pick up anniversary cupcakes and go fishing. Instead, we had to wait around for UPS to deliver us unto the Rock Band. . . More waiting! I checked the status of the package and they'd gotten it into their crazy heads my little blue house was a) a business and b) not open on Fridays so they would be attempting the delivery on Monday. This would not do. A very grumpy me called UPS and arranged to pick up my Beatles Rock Band. I was DONE with this waiting horseshit.
When we got there the UPS wage slave was very near a very painful verbal lashing when he hunched over his little computer attempting to track down its current status. Luckily I saw it behind the counter he was standing at (/faceplam) waiting for us to pick it up.
Rock Band achieved! Victory was assured. Fish remained un-retrieved from a lake for one more day.
We followed up with dinner at hibachi where not so tasty (tho very flashy) kerosene vegetables were served along adequate scallops. We scurried home to rock out the night as 'Civilian Authority'.
Saturday included a plan of the orignally scheduled cupcake retrieval, a free exercise bike from the in-laws and the much-delayed fishing. Visit with the in-laws (all of them), exercise bike, and cupcake retrieval went off without a hitch. However the weather gave Trey's asthma a run for its money.
Trey's Lungs: *gasping for breath*
Air: You seek to inhale me? FOOL!!!
Trey and Jess's fishing plans: *wither and die another day*
Fish: Yay!!
Sad and dejected, we wandered home and emptied the care of the spoils we had successfully collected that day. I convinced the husband the only cure for our sadness was delicious Mexican food. Ever the loving man, he humored his wife's crazy notions and off to Mariachi restaurant we went. OH MY GOD THE EPIC NOMS LIVE THERE! Stuffed full of some of the most amazing food ever, we rolled home. Comic books and video games capped the evening as we battled food comas. (Oh my lord am I ever behind on comics. Ugh.)
Sunday, our actual anniverary, was nasty hot. We hid in the house. There was also a terrible excursion to the new Frederick Wegman's that I have pretty much blocked out of my memory. Seriously, I almost moved by Sunday entirely with "We stayed inside all day and played video games and did nothing." But, oh god, no, the Wegman's. Huge. Beautiful Market. I think. I couldn't see much through the ridiculous mass of humanity heaving through it back and forth. We grabbed the things we knew we needed right away and then ran away screaming. Never again on a Sunday. OMG No.
The rest of the day really was full of video games and slack. Dinner was seafood at the Cracked Claw. It was decent but we couldn't stop discussing how we'd change everything about the decor, layout, landscaping, upkeep of the building and the food. So, while it was delicious, it left a bit to be desired as a complete dining experience.
Monday was a beautiful day. Perfect fishing weather! We didn't go fishing. We went and met the littlest McCrady! I delivered unto them Steaming Hot Meat Muffins! Meatloaf baked in a muffin tin. Hat tip to Misha for that idear. Nom nom nom nom nom BABY! She was adorable as all get out. We both got to hold her and give Meg a break by giving her a bottle. She fell asleep in our arms mid-noms and was just about the best thing ever. We shooed ourselves outta there in time to get just out of range of the bulk of rush hour and let the family embark on their walk to test drive their new stroller.
The evening unfolded as an adventure to find HDMI cables for our new TV as I altered my intended destination three times before ending up at Costco and finding what I needed in five minutes but still wandered the store for another 30. Our weekend was capped off with tuna sammiches and more comics.
Tuna sammiches were about as close as we got to fishing this weekend, but our fishing spirit is not broken! Fish! You are on notice, bitches!
All in all we spent the whole weekend telling eachother, "Remember what we were doing this time last year?" and reminiscing on the whole thing. It was phenomenal. Definitely an adventure.

To Kill a Mockingbird Quotes by Atticus Finch, Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie
Quotes From To Kill A MockingbirdTo Kill a Mockingbird is a book which has been quoted very frequently since its publication in 1960. Below you can find some of the best quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird, along with analyses of selected quotations.

Atticus Finch Quotes From To Kill A Mockingbird
Quote: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." - Chapter 3 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: This is probably the most famous quote from To Kill a Mockingbird. Here Atticus is saying that we should not judge another person if we have not experienced what they have been through.
Quote: "When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake. But don't make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles 'em." - Chapter 9 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: A child's curiosity should be fed and encouraged, not stifled. If a person doesn't know the answer to a child's question they shouldn't pretend they do so as to seem smart, or try to change the point so as to avoid looking like they don't know. It's best to be direct and honest and not make the child confused.
Quote: "You might hear some ugly talk about it at school, but do one thing for me if you will: you just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, don't you let 'em get your goat. Try fighting with your head for a change." - Chapter 9 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: By telling Scout to fight with her head, Atticus is advocating the principle of debate and solving things in the free marketplace of ideas, rather than resorting to the principle of "might is right" (ie using physical force or violence). He is also trying to teach Scout to control her temper and not let others get the better of her by making her angry. Scout eventually learns to follow Atticus' advice. For example, she later disperses the lynch mob outside the jail just through talking to them.
Analysis: Here Atticus is saying that even if there is no chance of victory they will still fight for justice. For a person must still do the right thing, even when faced with a situation where he cannot succeed.
Quote: "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." - Chapter 10 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Mockingbirds are symbols of innocence because they do no harm and instead sing beautifully for the enjoyment of others. Atticus therefore thinks it's a sin to kill a mockingbird because they hurt no one and only help people. The mockingbird symbolizes Tom Robinson who generously helped people and was innocent of doing any harm to others as he'd been accused of. His death near the end of the book is the killing of a mockingbird that the book's title refers to.
Quote: "They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience." - Chapter 11 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: A person should respect other peoples' opinions but also be true to himself or herself. This means doing what one believes is right instead of just going with the flow.
Quote: "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." - Chapter 11 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Carrying a gun does not make a man brave. Courage is when you face impossible odds and still try anyway.
Analysis: Here Atticus is saying to keep calm, don't panic and that they'll cross that bridge when they come to it.
Quote: "Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levellers, and in our courts all men are created equal." - Chapter 20 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Here Atticus is describing the principles of blind justice and equality under the law. Courts should decide cases objectively without favouring any race or gender, for example.
Quote: "The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box." - Chapter 23 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: It is mandatory for a person to receive equal treatment under the law, however a prejudiced jury can still deny a person justice and destroy this ideal.
Quote: "As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash." - Chapter 23 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: No matter a person's status or race, if they are racist or unscrupulous then they are still a bad person.
Quote: "Atticus, he was real nice"
"Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them." - Chapter 31 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Here Scout is talking to Atticus about how Boo Radley turned out to be a very nice person, despite her originally thinking he was a monster. Atticus points out that most people turn out to be good once you get to know them and that it's usually prejudging people without knowing them that makes you dislike others.
Scout Finch Quotes From To Kill A MockingbirdTo Kill a Mockingbird is told from the perspective of a grown-up Scout looking back at her childhood and narrating. Therefore the quotes below attributed to Scout are both the quotes said by Scout as a child in To Kill a Mockingbird and the quotes said by the book's narrator.
Analysis: Often we don't appreciate something until it's gone or until we are close to losing it. Scout demonstrates this by referring to breathing because it is something we take for granted, yet if we could no longer breathe we would certainly miss it.
Quote: "Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts." - Chapter 7 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Adjectives can be used to spin the meaning of sentences. But by ignoring them you can get to the essential meaning and bare points of passages of text.
Quote: "I asked him to pass the damn ham, please" - Chapter 9 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Quote: "I was born good but had grown progressively worse every year." - Chapter 9 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Quote: "It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived." - Chapter 11 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Quote: "With him, life was routine; without him, life was unbearable." - Chapter 12 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Quote: "Atticus had said it was the polite thing to talk to people about what they were interested in, not about what you were interested in." - Chapter 15 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: It is good manners to be considerate of other people and take an interest in what they care about instead of just pushing your own interests on them.
Quote: "I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks." - Chapter 23 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: We should not believe that other people are so different to us just because because they are of another race, like Tom Robinson, or because we do not know them well, like Boo Radley. It's better to have an inclusive attitude than an "us vs them" mindset.
Quote: "One time Atticus said you never really knew a man until you stood in his shoes and walked around in them." - Chapter 31 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: This quote underlines the value of empathy, a frame of mind that speaks of compassion towards other people and understanding of what they are going through in life.
Jem Finch Quotes From To Kill A MockingbirdQuote: "Atticus says you can choose your friends but you sho' can't choose your family, an' they're still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge 'em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don't." - Chapter 23 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Quote: "If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time... it's because he wants to stay inside." - Chapter 23 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Jem couldn't understand why people would want to have hatred and prejudice towards each other. Thus he began to see why Boo Radley would want to stay inside his home to get away from people who harboured these kinds of sentiments.
Miss Maudie Quotes From To Kill A MockingbirdQuote: "There are just some kind of men who - who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results." - Chapter 5 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Some people are more interested in worrying about religion and keeping religious rules than they are about caring about the lives and well-being of the people around them. This can lead to the kind of problems we see in the world around us.
Quote: "You are too young to understand it ... but sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of - oh, of your father." - Chapter 5 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Religiosity in some people can lead to injustices and bad outcomes because of the way bad people can interpret the bible and use it for their own aims. This can have a worse effect on the world than even something as bad as alcoholism in a good person.
Quote: "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." - Chapter 10 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Quote: "People in their right minds never take pride in their talents." - Chapter 10 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: A sensible person should act in a humble way.
Quote: "Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we're paying the highest tribute we can pay a man. We trust him to do right. It's that simple." - Chapter 24 of To Kill a Mockingbird
Analysis: Atticus was seen as a man who would objectively pursue justice without prejudice. This is one of the noblest qualities a person can have.
