Unnecessary Liaisons: 15 TV Couplings That Never Should Have Happened
The "will they or won't they?" dynamic has been a staple of television since the very beginning of the medium, but just because two people can get together doesn't mean that they should get together. Bullz-Eye decided to take a look back through our favorite TV series and consider some of the more ill-begotten romances that have taken place over the years. Have we missed any? Or do you disagree with some of our selections? Let us know in the comments!
1. Rachel & Joey, "Friends"
Given that just about everyone has had a crush on a friend at some point in their lives, it made sense that a show called "Friends" would make use of that concept, and in addition to the long-running "will they or won't they" of the Ross and Rachel relationship, Monica and Chandler proved to be a surprisingly effective combination as well. But Rachel and Joey…? That's just taking things a step too far.
Actually, the two never took their relationship to the toppermost of the poppermost, if you will, but it wasn't for lack of trying. The storyline began with Joey (Matt LeBlanc) suffering through a major crush on Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), one which she ultimately decided was worth risking their friendship to expand into something more. When they tried to get down and dirty, however, Rachel kept finding herself instinctually slapping Joey's hands back, and Joey found that he'd lost his gift for unstrapping bras. Attempts to loosen each other up with champagne failed just as miserably, and in the end, the two decided that the problem was that they'd become better friends over the years than Monica and Chandler were when they became a couple.
Some have questioned whether the awkwardness between Aniston and LeBlanc during their romantic scenes was behind the decision to stop the Rachel / Joey relationship dead in its tracks, but let's chalk that up to acting, as it seems far more likely that the writers just wanted to have a bit of fun with the characters. But thank God the fun ended when it did. – Will Harris
2. Ray & Jenna, "Dallas"
"Dallas" is a series overflowing with mismatched couples and people who are just altogether wrong for each other. As it's a soap opera, that sort of stuff goes with the territory. So it of course stands to reason that the "Dallas" coupling ending up on this list is actually rather harmonious, all things considered, anyway. Farm hand and rancher Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly) hooking up with and marrying little miss screw loose Jenna Wade (Priscilla Presley)? Gimme a break.
Jenna had a nearly lifelong attachment to Ray's brother, Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), which mercifully crumbled – mercifully, I say, because this woman was batshit crazy. Given the sheer hell Bobby went through with her – nearly all of which Ray was witness to – it made no sense after his marriage to the rock that was Donna (Susan Howard) ended, that he would fall into the arms of this emotional basket case. Worst of all though is how the couple was eventually written off the series: They moved to Europe. Ray Krebbs leaving Texas to move to Europe is a piece of off-screen character development that has to boggle the mind of even the most forgiving "Dallas" aficionado. Ray Krebbs was Texas.
Man, I hope he at least found a flock of sheep to keep him busy on those cold European winter nights, because one thing's for certain, that nutty woman had to have had another breakdown, probably near the border of France and Germany. – Ross Ruediger
3. Sayid & Shannon, "Lost"
For a show that prided itself on great characters and the various relationships they forged during their time on the island, "Lost" still had its share of questionable partnerships, especially of the romantic variety. But while we were never big fans of the ongoing love triangle between Jack, Kate and Sawyer, the relationship that rang the most untrue was undoubtedly Sayid and Shannon.
Though it might have made sense on paper – Shannon needed someone to fill the protector role after Boone was killed, and there wasn't a better candidate (no pun intended) around than Sayid – the whole romance came out of left field, forcing the audience to blindly accept that they had fallen in love within a matter of days. Thankfully, it didn't last long, as Shannon was the next major castaway to bite the dust when Ana Lucia accidentally shot her. But it wasn't the last we saw of the couple, as they were reunited in the season finale to spend eternity together in the afterlife.
It was a revelation that threw most viewers for a loop. After all, wasn't Sayid's one true love supposed to be Nadia? Then why did he end up with the blonde bimbo? It certainly left a sour taste in our mouths – one that not even a cold Dharma beer could cure. – Jason Zingale

LEADERS OWN THINGS LIKE PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUSINESS, THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND THEIR MISTAKES5/5/2023 LEADERS OWN THINGS LIKE PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUSINESS, THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND THEIR MISTAKES "When it's really yours, you take care of it. You are worried about the condition of it, the well being and the future. It matters not if it is a toy, a pet, a business or a lawn tool. If it's yours, you have more concern for the condition and sustainability. When governments abscond with private possessions, businesses and the means of production, they not only disincentivize those who have demonstrated the willingness to rise above and lead, they also do not care for or tend to the needs of whatever they expropriate because they know its not theirs and confiscation is not the same as investment. If you have built something, you are a leader. Guard it and the goodness it brings to society. We need you and more like you."

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download
Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author

Seasonal affective disorder or SAD for short is a type of depression that comes and goes seasonally.
The darker, shorter days of the year, with less sun are responsible for a part of the brain (called the hypothalamus) not working properly.
Historically we only ever worked outdoors; two hundred years ago 75% of the population worked outdoors now less than 10% of the population work in natural outdoor light. Whilst this is fine in the Summer months when there are longer daylight hours, in the Winter months, people tend to go to work in the dark and go home in the dark and don't get to enough natural daylight.
This modern way of living has dramatically altered nature's cues. A modern day no longer starts at the break of dawn and ends at sunset. Workdays are getting longer and many people face shift work schedules. Additionally, the advent of electric lighting allows social gatherings and personal activities to extend well into the night. These factors have diminished the body's natural ability to regulate the body clock and this work/life change has resulted in a dramatic increase in light deficiency symptoms.
In the UK and Ireland we are more susceptible to SAD as we are situated in the higher latitudes of the northern hemisphere. As a result, we experience large changes in light levels between the summer and winter. We also experience periods of dark, gloomy weather which can reduce the amount of light we receive and therefore have a profound effect on our body clocks.
A combination of a change in seasonal light, our hectic lifestyles and the periods of darker days and poorer weather, can result in dramatic effects on our circadian rhythms. As a direct consequence of these environmental and lifestyle factors more people than ever before are suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Like many mammals in the natural world, the human body responds to light. As a result our bodies are tuned in to the daylight hours in order to maintain our circadian rhythms. These rhythms regulate many important bodily functions and if you do not receive the correct daylight signals at the correct time this can have significant affects on your wellbeing. Circadian Rhythms help to regulate and control; food digestion, appetite for food, energy levels, sleep quality and length, and mood. Your Circadian Rhythm are effectively your body's internal clock and if these rhythms are disrupted it can result in you suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder and may require light therapy
In the distant past human's lived in the outdoors and were exposed to sufficient levels of sunlight the whole year round even in the northern and southern hemispheres. However, nowadays our lives are mainly carried out indoors due to work pressures, busy lifestyles and change in social behaviours. With the advent of television and now the growth in computer, phone and tablet based entertainment we spend more time than ever indoors and miss out on the light cues our body needs.
Without sufficient levels of morning light our bodies circadian rhythms are not triggered and our body fails to produce the hormones required to feel wide awake. During the day if we do not receive enough sunlight we feel sluggish, lethargic and low in energy and at night we stay awake long after darkness which can result in lack of sleep, disrupted sleep patterns and mood swings. In summary if we do not receive sunlight at the correct times and in sufficient quantities we can upset our body clock to such a degree that the symptoms of SAD ensue.
As a result you need to combat these problems by changing your lifestyle as much as possible, provide your body with daylight at the right times or alternatively use artificial sunlight at the correct times using a medically certified SAD Lamp/Sun Lamp.
There are a diverse range of symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder; many are associated with a feeling of general depression – which is why it is sometimes known as the 'Winter blues'. Below is a list of possible symptoms.
An example of SAD Symptoms include:
Lethargy, lacking in energy, unable to carry out a normal routine
Sleep problems, finding it hard to stay awake during the day, but having disturbed nights
Loss of libido, not interested in physical contact
Anxiety, inability to cope
Social problems, irritability, not wanting to see people
Depression, feelings of gloom and despondency for no apparent reason
Craving for carbohydrates and sweet foods, leading to weight gain
It is always important to consult your doctor if you believe you have SAD as it may be another condition.

Immigration Enforcement and Family Separation: Unintended Consequences for Children and Families
Children of immigrants currently comprise nearly 1 in 4 of all U.S. children. It is estimated that more than 5 million of these children, the majority of whom are native-born U.S. citizens, live in mixed-status families with one or more undocumented parent. While the debate over comprehensive immigration reform has often overlooked these citizen children, inaction on immigration reform and ongoing enforcement measures are having a significant impact on thousands of America's most vulnerable children.
Immigration enforcement activities by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local law enforcement agencies operating under ICE have significantly increased over the past decade. According to a report by the DHS Inspector General's Office, over 108,000 parents of U.S. citizen children were removed from the U.S. between 1998 and 2007. Furthermore, a 2007 report by the Urban Institute reveals that on average, one child is affected for every two adults arrested in a worksite raid. Findings such as these resulted in ICE's adoption of humanitarian guidelines to minimize the instances of family separation for enforcement activities involving more than 25 arrests. However, these humanitarian guidelines do not apply to targeted home raids and individual arrests, which are the types of immigration enforcement currently experiencing rapid growth.
The impacts on child well-being and family unity resulting from such enforcement activities are immeasurable. They include separation (sometimes permanent) from one or both parents due to detention and/or deportation, interruptions in schooling, short and long-term emotional trauma, and economic hardship due to the loss of the family breadwinner. In many cases, schools, early learning and child care centers, social service agencies, and communities are unprepared to respond adequately to protect the best interests of children left behind. Often, detained parents are not able to make child care arrangements, resulting in the unnecessary placement of their children in the child welfare system. Once a child is placed into foster care, it is extremely difficult for a detained parent to reunify with his or her child, especially if that parent is transferred to an out-of-state detention facility or deported before regaining custody of his or her child.
Protecting Children and Keeping Families Together. Ultimately, the enforcement of our immigration laws should not conflict with our obligation to protect the rights of children. ICE should ensure that parents and primary caregivers of minor children are identified and, when appropriate, released into the community on bond or parole, or into non-custodial alternatives to detention programs. Every effort should be made to ensure that children are not present or engaged in enforcement activities, and families, social workers, and lawyers should be able to locate those who are detained. Additionally, children consequently placed in the foster care system should receive appropriate care, and parents should be able to participate in all court proceedings and case plans involving the care and custody of their children.

Parshat Mishpatim
The Jewish People receive a series of laws concerning social justice. Topics include: Proper treatment of Jewish servants; a husband's obligations to his wife; penalties for hitting people and for cursing parents, judges, and leaders; financial responsibilities for damaging people or their property, either by oneself or by one's animate or inanimate property, or by pitfalls that one created; payments for theft; not returning an object that one accepted responsibility to guard; the right to self-defense of a person being robbed.
Other topics include: Prohibitions against seduction; witchcraft, bestiality and sacrifices to idols. The Torah warns us to treat the convert, widow and orphan with dignity, and to avoid lying. Usury is forbidden and the rights over collateral are limited. Payment of obligations to the Temple should not be delayed, and the Jewish People must be Holy, even concerning food. The Torah teaches the proper conduct for judges in court proceedings. The commandments of Shabbat and the Sabbatical year are outlined. Three times a year Pesach, Shavuot and Succot we are to come to the Temple. The Torah concludes this listing of laws with a law of kashrut not to mix milk and meat.
G-d promises that He will lead the Jewish People to the Land of Israel, helping them conquer its inhabitants, and tells them that by fulfilling His commandments they will bring blessings to their nation. The people promise to do and listen to everything that G-d says. Moshe writes the Book of the Covenant, and reads it to the people. Moshe ascends the mountain to remain there for 40 days in order to receive the two Tablets of the Covenant.
Rights And Obligations
When you lend money to My people(22:24)
I live in a city of kindness.
In Jerusalem, if your daughter suddenly becomes engaged and you dont have a bottle of whisky to make the customary lchaim with family and friends, dont worry, look in the phone book and call the gemach! (A gemach is a free loan organization.) Youll be able to borrow a bottle of Johnny Walker black label (could even be gold but I dont think they stretch to green or blue). Later on, just replace what you took. No charge. There are gemachs for everything under the sun.
Lets say its Shabbat, the drugstores are closed and you need a certain unusual antibiotic. No problem. There are people with gemachs of medicines in their homes that rival a commercial drugstore. There are gemachs for clothes, chairs, cameras, tapes, tables, telephones, money, free advice hotlines, mezuzot, tefillin, bridal outfits, wigs, cooking gas cylinders, baby strollers, cribs, lactation pumps, drills, saws and other tools, embroidered cushions to bring a Jewish baby to the arms of the Sandek for his brit mila. In fact, I have a friend who has a talent for dreaming up new gemachs for people.
And Jerusalem isnt alone in its kindness. Many, many cities share this distinction. We are a kind people. Its in our genes.
Gemach is an acronym for Gemilut Chassadim the bestowing of loving-kindness. In Judaism you are what you do. Kindness is not a spectator sport, being kind means doing kindness.
There is no word for charity in Hebrew. Look up the word for charity in the English/Hebrew dictionary and youll find the word tzedaka. Tzedaka doesnt mean charity. It means righteousness. Theres no such thing as a Robin Goodfellow in Jewish thought. We believe a person who gives charity doesnt deserve a slap on the back. Someone who doesnt give charity deserves a slap on the wrist.
If you look in the written Torah, youll be hard pressed to find a single mention of the word rights. Obligations of these, the Torah is full. Look at this weeks Torah portion: obligations of a master to a slave; the obligations of a child to its parents; of a pupil to his teacher and vice versa; of a community to the poor; of the individual to the community; obligations to the orphaned, to the sick, to the convert; the obligations of man to G-d. Rights, however, are something that the Torah hardly mentions. Why?
Because to the extent that I have obligations you dont need rights.
You can construct a legal system that spells out peoples rights or you can write a code that lists their obligations: All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights comes to the same thing as And these are the laws that you should put before them. The end result will be the same, but with one big difference.
A system that focuses on rights breeds a nation of takers. One that focuses on obligations creates a nation of givers.
Linguistic idiom reveals national character. In English, we say My duty calls. Meaning, I start off unencumbered by obligation. My obligation calls to me. I am over here and my duty is over there. If Im a good person I will heed that call. But still, my duty calls. I have to go to it. In the Holy Tongue, we talk about a person being yotzei chovotav, literally going out from his obligation. In other words, a Jew starts off by being obligated. He doesnt have to go anywhere or heed any call. Life and obligation are synonymous.
There are three places in the Torah where the Hebrew word im is not translated by its usual meaning if but when. One of those is in this weeks Torah portion:
When you lend money to My people.
Lending money to the poor is not optional, its obligatory.
What reads like an if to the rest to the world, to the people of G-d is a when.
Rashi; Rabbi Uziel Milevsky, zatzal

Welcome to Ride the Road
Our intention is to find the best bicycling throughout the world. We have visited more than 70 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, South America and North America since we started touring in 1979. Every time we encounter other bikers, especially on highly rated trips we always asked, "Where are your favorite places to bike?" and we go there. This method has proven successful. For example, who would independently come to the idea of biking in Uganda, Sulawesi, Sri Lanka or the Philippines? We've also suffered through Java and Namibia. Even there we discovered some good biking.
For more about our adventures, please navigate our Web site. Here you will find maps and useful information for use in cycle touring, wherever the road may take you.
We spent a year, our honeymoon in 1970, hitchhiking around the world. We developed a rhythm and comfort with constant change. After we returned home, our vacations felt as if we were just looking, not participating in the travel experience until we discovered bicycle touring.
Our first bicycle tour, in 1979, we flew with bikes to Tupelo Mississippi, birthplace of Elvis Presley (we didn't know this until we got there). We rode right out of the airport with small flight bags bungeed on racks over the rear wheels. We were treated to meals in cafés and invited to a wedding dance.
We were privy to information reserved for the locals. When we stopped at the general store we were told, "Old Hal's still (bootlegged whisky) was hit by the Feds on Friday night, but Elmer's is operatin." A "tourist" would drive up and the locals stopped the banter, became silent and acted shy. Once the "tourist" was gone the banter picked up again, we were given messages for the next store "not three miles down the road" and backslapped off the porch.
We are independent travelers who have found that bicycling is a great way to experience the world.
Peter graduated from Georgetown University in 1962. He and Sally married in November 1969. Together they traveled the around the world for the year of 1970. Since then, Peter and Sally have made their home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Peter went into the ice cream and restaurant business in 1973 and still owns and operates The Chocolate Factory restaurants in Milwaukee. Sally worked in the travel business as a travel agent and later as an owner of a successful travel agency in Milwaukee from 1971 to 2001. When a friend introduced them to cycle touring in the late 70's it fit like a glove. This web site is the culmination of their touring by bike all over the world since 1979.

Using Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) with DataKeeper/SIOS Protection Suite Volumes
On Windows 2008 R2, VSS Shadow Copy can be enabled for SIOS Protection Suite-protected (shared or replicated) volumes. However, the following guidelines apply:
- VSS snapshot images must not be stored on a SIOS Protection Suite-protected volume. Storing VSS snapshots on a SIOS Protection Suite-protected volume will prevent SIOS Protection Suite from being able to lock the volume and switch it over to another node.
- When a SIOS Protection Suite-protected volume is switched or failed over, any previous snapshots that were taken of the SIOS Protection Suite protected volume are discarded and cannot be reused.
- VSS snapshot scheduling is not copied between the SIOS Protection Suite servers. If snapshots are scheduled to be taken twice a day on the primary server and a switchover occurs, this schedule will not be present on the backup server and will need to be redefined on the backup server.
- There is a slight difference in behavior when switching back to a server where snapshots were previously enabled:
- If the volume is a shared volume, VSS snapshots must be re-enabled.
- If the volume is a replicated volume, VSS snapshots are automatically re-enabled.

Years ago—only a few years ago, actually, but still years before the miracle year of 1967 and years before it became chic to root for the Red Sox—the centerfield bleachers at Fenway were traditionally the habitat of the most diehard of Sox aficionados. If the bleacherites weren't the most knowledgeable fans, they were close to it, and they were certainly the most faithful. I suspect I was exposed to more genuine baseball lore, more understandings of the subtleties and stratagems of the game, and perhaps most importantly, more sheer love for the sport by sitting exclusively in the bleachers from boyhood through my early twenties than I've encountered in any reserved seat press box since.
This, of course, was back in the days when the Red Sox were drawing so poorly that they had to schedule night games around the Hatch Shell concerts in the summer and when a gate of 20,000 on Opening Day was considered spectacular. But from April through September the coterie in center field retained a fidelity unmatched anywhere else in the American League. And while the businessmen who bought season tickets might sit next to someone in an adjacent box all season long and never exchange six words, there were people out there who'd been friends for twenty-five years yet never seen each other outside Fenway Park.
There were the beaten old men who looked like they'd just panhandled the 50 cent admission price, the retired gentlemen with their transistor radios and the truck drivers who took their shirts off on hot summer days. There were two old ladies from Dorchester, both named Mary, who attended the afternoon games as faithfully as they attended Mass. They left home early in the morning, bringing their Official Big League Scorebook along to Church, and after lunch in Kenmore Square, showed up at the park before batting practice started. They never went to night games, but the Boys from Chelsea did.
Fat Howie was on speaking terms with every centerfielder in the league. He'd sit right next to the rope and carry on a running dialogue. Howie was always there, day or night. I don't know what he did for a living; maybe he took his summers off.
The Boys from Chelsea—three of them, Felix, Vinny, and Joe, all cab drivers, I believe, invariably turned up at night, and two or three of their friends often made it—inveterate gamblers. They came to games weighted down with 50 cent rolls of pennies, and would wager with each other and anyone else on every conceivable facet of the game, from whether the next batter would get a hit (3 to 1 for Mantle or Williams; 6 to 1 for most pitchers) to an error on the next play (usually about 25 to 1, but you could always haggle) to the possibility of Casey Stengel being ejected during the course of the game. (If you got a bet down at the prevailing 7 1/2 to 1 odds on Jackie Jensen hitting into a double play at every available opportunity, you usually made out over the course of a season.)
And there was Fat Howie. Fat Howie was on speaking terms with every centerfielder in the league. He'd sit right next to the rope (the section in straightaway center, directly in the batter's line of vision, always used to be roped off; since the space is needed now, the seats are painted green and customers are allowed to sit there, provided they wear dark clothing) and carry on a running dialogue. Howie would lean over the wall between innings and yell out to Bob Allison: "Hey, Bob, what's happening in Cleveland?" (The scoreboard on the left field wall can't be seen from the bleachers in center.) And Allison would check the score and holler back: "4 to 2 Indians, Howie." Howie was always there, day or night. I don't know what he did for a living; maybe he took his summers off.
And, of course, there was the gang I hung out with in college. We'd usually catch about 20 or 30 games a year, always going in a group of four or five and always with a case of beer. Back then there was no hassle about bringing your own beer into the bleachers; everyone did it, and probably would still be able to except for one particularly raucous occasion in the spring of 1964 when the bleachers were invaded by a few hundred Friday night beer drinkers posing as baseball fans.
Along about the sixth inning they were very drunk and very angry. The Red Sox were being humiliated by the lowly Kansas City Athletics (commonly referred to at the time as the "Kansas City Faggots," since they wore bright gold suits with green trim, long before mod uniforms became fashionable), and someone heaved an empty beer can in the direction of Jose Tartabull, the A's centerfielder. An umpire ran out to retrieve it, and was greeted by a fusillade of beer cans. This brought the park police out on the field, and the shelling exploded for real. One cop was cold-cocked by a beer can—a full one—and the barrage continued for about ten minutes, abating not because the park announcer warned that the umpires were threatening to forfeit the game, but only because the assholes ran out of ammunition. After that they started checking you out for beer when you came through the gate, and—at 55 cents a cup—the price of drinking went up considerably in center field.
Besides me, there were 34,516 other paying customers there last week. I hadn't been to an opener at Fenway for seven years, though I caught a couple at Shea Stadium and K.C. Municipal. I looked around for Howie and the two Mary's, but I didn't see them. I suspect they'd be pretty uncomfortable out there these days anyway; the bleachers last Tuesday were packed with a crowd that would've been indistinguishable from the occupants of the cheap seats at the Fillmore East: freaks sporting Mao buttons, long-haired college kids, high school hippies, and even teenyboppers, with bells, beads, and blemishes.
Initially, anyway, that was relieving. For several years now I've found myself trembling whenever the National Anthem is played at sporting events, not out of patriotic sentiment but of fear that some flag-crazed lunatic sitting in back of me will be overcome by his emotions and seize the opportunity to bludgeon me from behind with his souvenir Louisville Slugger. Since the first ball on Opening Day was thrown out by a Vietnam veteran, a former POW, the new crowd did thus provide at least a reassuring measure of collective security during the pre-game ceremonies, helping to compensate for the nostalgic loss of old ambience.
On the very first play of the game, Yastrzemski made an incredible driving, sliding catch by the left field line off Horace Clarke's bat, roller over and held the glove aloft. Now in the old days Jimmy Doyle from East Boston would've been yelling "Atta boy, Carl Baby" in his booming foghorn voice, a voice so loud that even in the middle of 35,000 fans Yaz would've heard him. But the ovation from the bleachers was only polite applause by comparison. "That was a pretty nice catch," commented one of the kids behind me.
Ray Culp retired the Yankees 1-2-3 in the first, but despite two hits the Sox' half of the first was scarcely more auspicious. Luis Aparicio led off with a smash over third base, which Jerry Kenney backhanded with a superb stab observed by everyone in Fenway Park except Aparicio and first base coach Dan Lenhardt, who waved Luis around toward second—directly into a rundown. Reggie Smith followed with another single but, after Yaz flied out, Reggie, the team's top base thief, was thrown out trying to steal second.
The Yankees went down in order in each of the next two innings. As the Sox trotted off the field after the third, one of the kids behind me turned to his companion and breathlessly uttered: "He's pitching a no-hitter!"
Now, according to every sacred tradition of the game's etiquette, this is something which is never mentioned aloud—particularly after only three innings have been played. I was on the verge of turning around and instructing him on the point when his friend smugly added: "He's pitching a perfect game."
Fat Howie would have thrown them both over the wall.
I sat seething as the Red Sox went down 1-2-3 again, and then decided that it was time to make a beer run. "My turn," I said, and after entrusting my scorecard to the guy sitting next to me, began making my way down the aisle. I paused at the top of the runway just in time to see Thurman Munson chop a slow-roller to the third-base side of the mound.
A pitcher fleeter afoot would have handled it with ease; Sox pitching coach Harvey Haddix, about 50 now, could still have eaten it alive. Culp himself could probably have made the play three times out of four, but as he lumbered off the mound he not only overran the ball but momentarily blocked out Petrocelli racing in from third. Rico barehanded the ball and whipped it to first in one motion, but too late to catch Munson. An infield single; the Yankees had their first hit, and I knew exactly where the blame lay. "Smart-ass punks!" I shook my fist at them as I descended the stairs.
"If you're a sportswriter why the fuck are you sittin' here," he gestured toward the press box, "instead of up there?"
I returned with the beer to find Reggie Smith on second with a double and Yastrzemski coming to bat. Taking my scorecard back, I matter-of-factly threw out "Here comes the first run of the season!", which would've immediately been covered at 7 to 2 by Felix or Vinny. There was no response to the challenge here, though, and naturally Yaz responded with a run-scoring double.
Between innings the guy who'd been keeping my scorecard wanted to know what the funny little illegibly-scrawled notes in the margin were all about. I briefly considered a number of spectacular fabrications, but finally admitted that I wrote for the Phoenix and planned to do a story of some sort about Opening Day.
"Oh yeah?" He eyed me strangely. "If you're a sportswriter why the fuck are you sittin' here," he gestured toward the press box, "instead of up there?" The fact of the matter was that the Rex Sox had declined to provide the paper with press tickets, but for some reason I mumbled that I liked it better in the bleachers. At one time that would've been true; today it made me twice a liar.
The middle innings were largely uneventful, except for Duane Josephson knocking Kenney squarely on his ass while breaking up a double play, and the fact that somebody nearby produced a hash pipe. Since the hash was still being circulated when the time came, the people next to me remained sitting through the seventh inning stretch, yet another tradition shot to hell. We did come up with another run in the seventh anyway. Following two singles, a sacrifice, and an intentional walk to pinchhitter Joe Lahoud, Culp hit a sure double-play ball to short, but John Kennedy, running for Lahoud, bowled over Clarke at second, knocking the ball away and allowing the run to score.
New York led off the eighth with their second and third hits. After an error and two putouts, the bases were loaded, two out, when Clarke stroked a base hit to right apparently certain to score two runs, but Josephson perfectly blocked the plate long enough to get Smith's throw to home and somehow the tying run was out at the plate. "Perfect throw," approved one of the morons behind me. Of course it was not a perfect throw; it bounced three times and Scott almost cut it off and the runner had it beaten by at least ten feet had Josephson not had his body in the way.
The Sox scored their third run the way they are supposed to be scored: Yaz singled, went to third on a single by Rico, and came home on Scott's sacrifice fly. Unspectacular, but it is the sort of thing that games are won by. Just as I'd called Josephson a "mediocre catcher" in print that morning—he came through with three hits and that key play at the plate that afternoon—I also picked the Sox to finish second behind Baltimore. One game does not a season make, but I'm looking forward to having reason to revise both assessments. I'm also looking for a new place to sit.

Reference Question of the Week – 1/21
January 27th, 2007 Brian HerzogEccentric patrons are actually kind of fun to work with when they are nice and polite. This week's reference question was asked, not only by a very nice and polite woman, but also someone who was previously featured here.
She called Thursday afternoon, and again wanted to know when her SSA check would arrive. Very happily, I accessed my own blog and used the links I put there to find the 2007 calendar to answer her question. I know I've used other peoples' blogs to answer reference question, but this is the first time I've used my own. Neat.
Anyway, the patron continued:
Patron: ...so you think the check will be in my mailbox on Friday? Thanks. Okay, can you help me with a personal matter? Can you find out if a company named Hillard in Chelmsford is still in business? They came to fix my outside hose faucet that was leaking and he replaced it and then it was leaking again and he replaced it and now since its cold and the town is flushing the pipes the faucet is leaking again and when I called them last week they told me that two faucets couldn't both be bad and I am just wondering if they are still in business after talking to their customers like that.
Me: Oh. Well, I don't think I can tell if they are still in business. But I can see what I can find on them. [type, type, type] Well, I did find them mentioned on the internet, although they're listed as being in Lowell.
Patron: Well, I guess that's possible. I never can keep straight the town lines, since they move them all the time.
Me: And I checked a database we have of all the businesses in the country, and they are listed in there. It looks like they've been in business for 12 years, and the owner is Gary Hillard.
Patron: Okay, I guess I'll give them another call...
Now, I didn't feel like I completely gave her the answer she wanted, but I wasn't sure what else I could do. How do you tell if a company has gone out of business in the last week? But she must have been satisfied, because she very quickly moved on to the next topic:
Patron: ...not to change the subject, but can you find a web space on your comptraption that sells things not made in China?
Me: Oh, I think so - are you looking for products made in the U.S.A.? [type, type, type] I found a couple website that...
Patron: Yes I used to work at a store and there was a woman on the second floor who wouldn't touch any of the products because she said they were covered in sweat and that those oriental girls only get five cents a day and I don't like that so I was just looking for a way to not buy from Chinese people. Well, thanks for listening to me, good bye. [click]
If you'll notice, I never did give her any of the websites I found. I'm only making a presumption here, but I can't imagine this patron shopping online, anyway - perhaps she just wanted someone to listen to her.
But I got interested in it, so here are a few of the websites I did find (no endorsement implied):
- BoycottMadeInChina.org
- MadeInUSA.com
- The FTC's "Made in the USA" Standards
- buyblue.org
- Buy America Campaign
- BuyAmerican.com
- UnionLabel.org
- HowToBuyAmerican.com
- ShopForAmerica.com

learn-html.org is a free interactive HTML tutorial - one of the Interactive Tutorials websites.
Interactive Tutorials is a personal project of mine aimed at making everyone in the world be able to learn how to code for free. The servers used to run the tutorials and the time invested in writing tutorials is funded through ads.
The vision is to teach coding within the browser using short and effective exercises. By running actual code directly from the web browser, students are able to try out coding without installing and executing it locally, which can be hard and redundant for the purpose of learning how to code. This creates a more efficient learning process, because students focus on learning instead of setting up coding environments.
This website and its content may be used freely and without charge, and it will always be free.

Over the past nine months or so I stepped back from writing and threw myself into reading. I took a trip into the classics, reading Wealth of Nations, Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamozov, 1984, Brave New World, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, some light fiction and fun non fiction, but what I've really been interested in lately is the intersection between technology, our economy and how it's changing our culture, both for the better and for worse.
I've started to formulate a thesis. And I don't really like the conclusions that I've been reaching. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be writing about what I think might be going on, why its happening and how it may affect our present and our future. These are the key books that I've read that have shaped my thinking.
Antifragile – Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Taleb's follow up to best selling and paradigm breaking The Black Swan, Antifragile, is probably the most important book in the past decade, if not longer. I found myself smiling and nodding in agreement throughout the book. And I've found that if someone's read this book and enjoyed it, I'll likely be their friend and share a similar world view.
Taleb creates a new word: antifragile – things that grow stronger from stressors. Humans get stronger from mild stressors. A glass vase does not. The restaurant industry does. Wall Street does not. Taleb shows that lack of skin in the game, the agency problem, micromanaging and a lack of understanding of real risk is causing our world to be more fragile when we should be orientating toward antifragile approaches.
Shorter: My Rules for Life in The Guardian.
You Are Not a Gadget – Jaron Lanier
Lanier invented the term Virtual Reality and has been involved in Silicon Valley since the very beginning. And he thinks technologist have gotten it all wrong. We've built technology that serves technology, not technology that serves humans. Our iPhones control us, not the other way around. And it's wrecking our culture and economic future.
If you can't read the book, read his oped in the Wall Street Journal, World Wide Mush.
Who Owns The Future – Jaron Lanier
In Lanier's follow up, he talks about how technology is accruing massive returns for those who have the biggest, most powerful servers, not those who have the best ideas or give humans the most benefit. This techification eliminates the middle class and pushes economic returns up to a small group and gives the rest candy. Facebook without any users is worth $0. So why do so few people as a percentage earn money using Facebook?
If you can't read the book, read his NY Times piece Fixing the Digital Economy.
Murry shows how the US has developed extreme income inequality that's led to a small, super rich upper class that's both physically and culturally separate from the rest of the population, similar to Latin American and other oligarchical countries. His description of how the US looks today is spot on and some of the consequences of income inequality, but I don't buy his social root causes. I believe a similar pattern is taking place globally.
If you can't read the book, read his Wall Street Journal piece The New American Divide and then Ross Douthat's What Charles Murry Gets Right from the NY Times.
US Specific
Rise of the Warrior Cop – Radley Balko
Balko traces the militarization of US police forces from the US's birth to present day and shows how the drug war and now terrorism fears have turned a police from traditional beat cops who knew everyone in their neighborhoods into body armored, automatic weapon toting, tank driving para military forces that have eviscerated the 1st and 4th amendments, wreaked havoc on families, killed innocents and brought terror the american households, all without even doing anything to lower crime.
Shorter: Why Did You Shoot Me? I was just reading a book! from Salon.
Three Felonies a Day – Harvey Silvergate & Alan Dershowitz
The US federal law system is now so vague that we all commit at least three felonies per day and the only reason we don't get prosecuted is that we haven't run afoul of a politician, a bureaucrat, or a prosecutor or even just gotten unlucky. Rise of the Warrior Cop interplays very well with this book. While I don't recommend reading this book for pleasure reading, as its clearly intended for technical attorneys, the thesis is spot on.
These two books together paint the picture of why I'm very worried about NSA spying. Between a militarized police force, a government that collects all of our data and a criminal justice system that can indict you with lifetime jail time for living a normal life, we're well on our way toward a police state.
Shorter: You Commit Three Felonies A Day from The Wall Street Journal.
Super Sad True Love Story – Gary Shteyngart
A dystopian, but extremely readable look at what the future might look like where everyone's always connected to the internet, we're constantly alone together, the government monitors everything, the US is a banana republic and everyone is rated on everything via metadata. Read it.

Survey of Americans on HIV/AIDS, Part One: Global HIV/AIDS – Summary and Chartpack
These survey findings of Americans' views on global HIV/AIDS are part of Kaiser's national "Survey of Americans on HIV/AIDS," conducted in spring 2004. Other portions of the national survey will be released this summer. This portion of the survey explores such issues as foreign aid, general knowledge about the global epidemic and the role of the United States, as well as which individuals are associated with the fight against global HIV/AIDS and where Americans get information about the issue (June 2004).
