Is it possible for an individual to be without ethnocentrism?
Ethnocentrism involves using the ideas and beliefs of one particular culture to judge other cultures.
It is so similar to pride in the sense that we loath it in other people/cultures; but we are hardly conscious of it in our own culture.
Our beliefs and worldview is as a result of years of living in our community and seeing things done in a particular way; years of familiarity with the material culture, social structure, religion, history, philosophy and ideals.
We usually percieve our culture as the logical, reasonable and normal way to live; and we often wonder "How anyone could ever live like THAT?!"
It is usually the chief enemy of marriages. The husband has grown up in a different home environment, under different circumstances, and with a different experience. He would wonder why the wife is behaving in a certain manner that is contrary to his ways; and so does the wife.
Is ethnocentrism inevitable?

Sep 12 2012: I don't think it is possible to be ethnocentrism. It is not natural. If it is possible then there would not be so many wars in the history of humankind post human civilization. Which (wars) are happening even today and will happen in future. Humans are community-centric by nature meaning they feel that their community is superior over the rest, this feeling implicitly creates the boundaries. The most of the population (because nature hardwires this feeling in us for survival) feels the following way 'I am better than others' then 'My family is better than other families' then 'My community is better than other communities' then 'People from my state are better than people of other states' then 'people of my country are better than people of other countries' and this goes on to 'people of this world are better than aliens of other worlds' is it not true? Take this example in sports (it applies to all the fields where you exhibit one can exhibit excellence!), if there is a race between you and your brother you would strive to win the race, if there is a race between your family member and neighbors family member would want your family member to win, you can keep extending the boundaries to whole universe with simple mathematical induction! Forget about humans concept of altruism is NOT a natural selection.

After having spend almost two hours on PHP.net, I was more confused than before. I had always thought that you could just use fopen(), but I couldn't find any good examples and when I saw the huge list of related functions, I didn't have the faintest idea of how to open en write to files with one simple function.
Can anyone help out this desperate PHP newbie?

North Dakota
Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks Amendment
North Dakotans love the outdoors. We take great pride in our wide-open spaces. Many of us live in North Dakota because of its incredible and unique landscapes, its boundless sky, its diverse prairie and clear lakes and its abundance of wildlife. The rich natural resources are part of our our heritage and a legacy we want to pass on to our children.
To protect our way of life in North Dakota, The Nature Conservancy and a coalition of partners in North Dakota are supporting the Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks Amendment. We need your help to gather the necessary signatures to get the amendment on the ballot in November 2014.
The Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks Amendment will:
- Protect clean water in our rivers, lakes and steams
- Improve natural flood control by protecting and restoring natural areas
- Protect fish and wildlife populations
- Create parks and other areas for outdoor recreation
It will NOT increase your taxes and it will NOT take away funding from local communities most affected by the oil boom.
Without your help, voters in North Dakota will not have the opportunity to vote yes for Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks in November 2014. We need committed citizens, like you, to volunteer to protect what you love about North Dakota.
To inspire you, we created a slideshow of some of North Dakota's most spectacular lands and waters including the Badlands and the Big Muddy.
Please sign up today to be a part of the team. You may also learn more and sign up on the campaign's web site at cleanwaterwildlifeparks.org or call (701) 566-5058 to speak with a campaign organizer directly.
Thanks for your help!

Iggy Azalea has the support of fellow rappers
'Fancy' rapper Iggy Azalea has claimed her contemporaries - including Kanye West - don't have a problem with her image, and criticisms of not being ''authentic'' only come from people not in the business.
Iggy Azalea says fellow rappers like Kanye West have no problem with her style
The Australian star has been criticised by some fans of the genre for not being authentic - her rhyming voice is different to her speaking one - but she insisted none of her contemporaries could have foreseen the abuse she has received.
She said: ''It would have been hard for [Kanye West] to fathom that anyone would want to have such a conversation with me.
''He is embedded in this world, he is not looking in on it from the outside.
''You know, I just read the Keith Richards autobiography and I thought it was so interesting when he pointed out that no American blues musicians ever accused the Rolling Stones of ''imitating'' their sound - but people were writing that stuff about them back in England.''
Iggy has come under similar criticism, and she has pointed out that - in the exact same way - it hasn't been her fellow musicians who have been the ones attacking her.
She told The Observer newspaper's New Review: ''You know the funny thing, I have never had any musician tell me that I wasn't authentic for being white and Australian. Not one.
''Even I had a warped perception of how I would be received in this business.
''What I've come to realise is that it's the people who write about the music - or who are outside it in some way - who have a problem with what I am doing. The only true insiders are the musicians themselves.''

|Customer Review Summary for Alpine SPR-60C

|Alpine SPR-60C
Review by
Devestator from Somebigcity, Canada
I've had them for about a week, powered by a Soundstream Reference 500SX, 250W x 2, at 4 ohms. At first they were VERY bright, but about a week later, the tweeters are finally starting the break in a little, and a lot of the harshness is now gone. No big deal, I have no reduction on the tweeters at all right now, and the "crossovers" that came with them have 3 levels of reduction for the tweeters.
I mounted them on 2 stacked 3/4" thick MDF rings, with a foam baffle at the back, and polyfill stuffed behind the woofers.
Very happy with them. Obviously a huge improvement over the "premium" system that came with the car.
Way more bass than Alpines have been known for in this size of speaker, i.e. compared to the SPR-17C. Much more oomph with the 60Cs. Same crystal clear mids and uppers. Definitely shows off really high bit rate music.
Since I have not been running them very long, I cannot really accurately assess durability, but previous Alpine speakers have proven to be durable barring user error.

Demonia platform boots - Help!
Have anyone experienced the demonia platform boots to be bigger in size? I am a EU 39 and I'm not sure if I should pick a size 8 or 9. I believe I ordered a size 9 the last time I ordered demonia boots (Which was about 5 years ago) and they were too big for me, but I'm not sure. Every size chart I look at tells me differently. Some tell me I should pick a size 8, some tells me I should pick a size 9 and some even tell me to pick a size 7! Can anyone help me? Pretty please?

Mike and I recently hopped on a bus to take a "Sustainable Landscapes Tour" in a neighboring county. Over an 8 hour period, we made 6 stops at a variety of sites including parks, offices, a community garden, and a farm. It was encouraging to see that even in the middle of a shopping center district, individuals and organizations are taking the time to build and landscape in a way that reduces energy use, and conserves and cleans water. Here are a few highlights of our day.
Have You Taken a Farm Tour Lately?
Have You Taken a Farm Tour Lately? It's Great Fun!
I think that Sean Zigmund and Cheyenne Miller are audacious. They have a few acres in upstate NY and they call it a farm. And you know what? It is a farm. These young people know how to work the land so that they are both producing and building soil for the years to come. On the day we visited Root N Roost Farm, they were busy processing duck, but Cheyenne took the time to show us around the farm. (Yes, we emailed ahead of time). On this small plot, they are producing enough to fill 15 CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares, in addition to stocking their farm stand and feeding themselves and their apprentices. And they are raising hens for eggs, and pigs, ducks, turkeys, and chicken for meat, and bees for honey and pollination.
Their raised beds are built using hugelkultur and/or lasagna gardening. And they use hoop houses to extend their growing season (winter CSA shares are available). And if you think they couldn't possibly fit one more thing on their land, you would be wrong. They recently built two small ponds!
Missing from the farm are tractors or even rototillers. All of the work is done by hand – well, the animals help work the land as well.
While "pretty" or "manicured" would probably not be apt descriptions of their farm, you could certainly ascribe the adjective "resourceful" to these farmers. Their outbuildings are built from pallets, and one of their coops is made from an old truck cap. Sean and Cheyenne know how to recycle or, I should say, upcycle. We're not talking dog-patch, though. (That's the probably not politically correct term we use for people whose property is littered with junk that they think they will some day use). No, Sean and Cheyenne put this rescued junk to good use.
As if they aren't busy enough, they love what they are doing so much that they conduct classes to share their knowledge with others. While you may not live near Root N Roost, you live near a farm. Call them up; take a tour. You'll learn something, and hopefully you'll take home some fresh organic produce and eggs like we did.
To learn how to build a garden that builds healthy soil, be sure to check out my eBook The Art of Gardening: Building Your Soil. You really can become a better gardener, and you really can grow healthy, nourishing produce. It's all about the soil! Click here to buy now.
Rodale Institute
J.I. Rodale is considered the father of the organic farming movement in the U.S. I've read Organic Gardening Magazine for many years and many Rodale Press books are included in my library. But I had never visited the Rodale Institute until recently, despite the fact that it is only an hour and a half away in Kutztown, PA. While there, Mike and I took a 2 hour workshop on growing apples organically. And we spent several hours roaming the apple orchards, fields, and gardens. Despite the fact that spring has not yet arrived, we found the farm to be interesting and inspiring.
For over 60 years, the Rodale Institute has been researching the best practices of organic agriculture. A thirty year "Farming Systems Trial" compared conventional, chemical agriculture with organic methods and found that organic farming yields match conventional methods. And in years of drought, organic farming outperforms conventional methods since organic methods build, rather than deplete the soil. This is encouraging news, as I often hear that "organic farming cannot feed the world". I do not believe this to be true, and research is now supporting that. In addition, the trial showed that organic systems are more profitable than conventional systems!
Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture
As a Penn State Master Gardener, I am required to take 8 hours of continuing education each year. I wanted to take the opportunity to visit a farm just outside of NYC called Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, so I chose a day that a class that interested me was being held. I traveled with my husband, Mike, and my daughter, Jessi, on a cold, winter day through the beautiful Hudson River Valley and over the 3+ mile long Tappan Zee Bridge to the former Rockefeller estate.Continue Reading
A Day at Mohonk Mountain
September 19th marked my 10th year working at Lamplighter Publishing. I came into work that day to flowers, rugala and fresh fruit. But there was more. As the morning wore on, I received a call from my boss, Mark Hamby, thanking me for being a part of this ministry and telling me that he had a gift for me. He was sending Mike and I to Mohonk Mountain for a day. And there was more. He had made arrangements for me to spend time with the greenhouse manager while I was there! I was overwhelmed …. and I cried. I've been to Mohonk on several occasions and that alone was a phenomenal gift. But the fact that Mark had taken the time to make arrangements for me to do something that is so "me" really touched me.
Mohonk is an historic hotel in the Shawangunk Mountains of New York. It's castle like structure is built into the cliffs of the mountain. In addition to spending time with Cindy Muro, the greenhouse manager, we hiked, strolled through the gardens, wandered the halls of the incredible hotel, visited the Barn Museum, and dined on some of the finest food to be had.
Here are some photos from the hundreds that we took while there. If you have a chance to visit, try to take a camera for each person in your group. Mike and I
fought over shared our camera all day.
Thank you, Mark, for providing a wonderful day! For those of you who may be interested, this past July, Lamplighter Publishing hosted its first Lamplighter Guild for Creative Disciplines right here at Mohonk Mountain. For more information on next year's Guild, visit http://www.lamplighterguild.com.

Strong messages from the head or the IMF, the head of Deutsche Bank, and the president of the Bundesbank are highly likely to drive Greek voters away from New Democracy and Pasok in the June 17 elections.
The Guardian writes It's payback time: don't expect sympathy – Lagarde to Greeks.
The International Monetary Fund has ratcheted up the pressure on crisis-hit Greece after its managing director, Christine Lagarde, said she has more sympathy for children deprived of decent schooling in sub-Saharan Africa than for many of those facing poverty in Athens.

It was among the provided responses to the question in the poll, it just wasn't a top response-getter, so it doesn't appear in this write-up.
This "talking" style of summary doesn't lend itself well to iterating over every response to every question. As it turns out, IntelliJ was fourth with 16%, "other" combine together for 13% (but I suppose that doesn't really count, since its like all the votes for minor players combined together... more fair to split them out as 0.8% for VS.NET, 0.4% for XCode, etc.). JBuilder at 11% comes after IntelliJ, ahead of JEdit by 4 votes (also with 11%), and ahead of WebSphere (10%) by 7 votes. Also, add this text to the IDE write-up above and you'll see why we don't cover every response to every question... all the numbers get really boring after a while.
Looking purely at the numbers, JBuilder is in the middle of the pack and since our write-up needed to be more concise than just dumping the data into html table tags, we chose to only highlight a few top responses on each question.

In 2007, the Governor's Office asked the Children's Administration for recommendations to increase child safety. CA proposed a program that would improve the safety of children in their home by guiding decision-making and safety planning in complex, high risk cases. CA proposed to make this program available at the front end of a case, with the overall goal to reduce recurrence of child maltreatment.
The proposal was included in the Governor's budget and was funded by the legislature in a budget proviso, "solely to contract with medical professionals for comprehensive safety assessments of high risk families receiving in-home child protective services or family voluntary services. The safety assessments will use validated assessment tools to guide intervention decisions through the identification of additional safety and risk factors."
On May 15, 2008, a planning meeting was held to develop recommendations on the structure and implementation of CAP. The planning team was comprised of CA regional staff, CA Policy and Practice Improvement, CA Indian Child Welfare, CA Practice Model, Harborview Medical Center, Office of the Ombudsman, and the University of Washington Evidence Based Practice Institute. The planning team recommendations are included in the proposal below.
On July 10, 2008, CA Leadership approved the CAP be administered through a contract with Harborview Medical Center. Assessments would be conducted regionally by community partners trained by Harborview.
The program was phased-in, with four of six regions having the service available.
Program Model Structure – Approved providers to administer a systematic and standardized initial assessment that identifies problems and needs of parents and children. The program would provide baseline information on current family functioning.
Target Cases – Higher risk cases involving children age birth to twelve who have complex issues such as serious physical abuse, severe/chronic neglect, and sexual abuse. These are cases where the social worker is extremely concerned and is not sure how to proceed with service planning. Generally, CAP is targeted to the needs of Family Voluntary Services high-risk, in-home cases.
Provider – The contract is held by Harborview Medical Center to employ and/or subcontract with trained Master's level staff to complete assessments for referred clients. In addition, Harborview Medical Center provides supervision, support and continuous quality assurance.
Tools – The assessment will be based on empirically identified problem areas and validated assessment tools such as:
- Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory
- Parenting Stress Index
- Patient Health Questionnaire
- Pediatric Sympton Checklist
- Child Distress/Trauma Assessment
- Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Abuse Involvement Screening Test
- Conflict Tactics Scale
- Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status
Referral Process – CA staff will forward the following to the provider:
- DSHS Consent Form (DSHS 14-012)
- Current CPS referral including case notes
- Referral history for the family
- Safety assessment and plan
- Global Appraisal of Individual Needs - Short Screener (GAIN-SS) assessment
- Structured Decision Making (SDM) and Risk Assessment (if available)
- Family assessment (if available)
- Medical reports (if available)
- Child Protection Medical Consultation Report (if applicable)
Timelines – Families will be seen within 7 business days of the referral being made and the final report/findings will be submitted within 20 business days of the referral being made. A follow-up staffing occurs with CA staff and the family to review the results and identify any needed intervention and services.
Report – Short in length, with recommendations on safety/risks which can be used to inform service planning with the family.

Yes, a Father Can Get Primary Custody of his Children in Texas!
Child custody refers to the rights and obligations between parents, regarding their children, after a divorce, legal separation, or paternity decree. There are two independent types of custody.
Physical custody refers to the amount of time each parent is permitted physically with a child. This may be sole, primary, or joint custody.
Legal custody refers to a parent's decision-making rights regarding a child's health, education, and welfare. It, too, may be sole, primary, or joint custody.
Often, the Court designates one parent as the primary physical custodian, giving the other parent a schedule of temporary custody and visitation. In some cases, however, the Court orders a joint legal and physical custody, by which, both parents have substantial access to their children.
The Court's decision in a particular case is based upon, among other things, the child's wishes, each parent's historical nurturing role, and the relative circumstances of the parties going into the future.
I regard it as a basic truth that father-child relationship is as important as the mother-child relationship, and that gender-based discrimination in family court is unconscionable.
Representing a father in a custody case is a challenging task requiring skill and experience.
In a system seemingly predisposed against them, men can only hope to succeed by using all the help available to them, both legally and strategically. While I represent both mothers and fathers in this fight, my practice has been built on practice helping men protect their rights to full and fair access to their children.

CHENEY, WA--It may be difficult to communicate with children who have autism...But they still have communication needs.
Fulfilling those needs is Dawn Sidell's mission. Sidell, the executive director of the Northwest Autism Center, believes teachers and childcare providers should have better access to proper training to handle the needs of autistic children.
The Autism Center reports that up to six out of 1,000 children have some form of autism.
Sidell says autism shouldn't preclude those children from a good education.
"I have a pretty strong belief that all individuals--children, adolescents, or adults should be able to reach their highest potential."
Right now Eastern Washington University is offering a training seminar called Summer 2008 Autism Intensive. The seminar is aimed at teaching educators better ways to instruct children with autism and how to better serve families dealing an autistic child.
Terry Miethe, who works at a daycare, has enrolled in the week long program with the help of her employer.
"It's so important to have my employer help me to have time off," she says. "To be able to go to classes and help me have the opportunity to learn more and see what is out there."
Approximately 30 people are participating in the seminar. Two different groups are each taking a full week of courses hosted by Eastern. This program is in its first year, but organizers believe it will continue to grow.
For Sidell, the mission is personal. Her teenage son is autistic and she works to ensure that teachers know how to reach out to the kids who can't necessarily ask for help.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - The Oprah Winfrey Network is getting all soaped up this summer.
The recently revived soap operas "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" will air for a 10-week engagement on OWN this summer, starting July 15.
The network will air the first 40 episodes of the series, Monday through Thursday, with "All My Children" airing at 1 p.m, and "One Life to Live" airing at 3 p.m.
"These shows have proven to be very popular with a significant, loyal fan base, not to mention Oprah herself is a big fan," OWN president Erik Logan said of the run. "Many of our viewers across numerous platforms have expressed their passion for the soaps so we are especially excited to air this limited engagement on OWN."
The soaps, which were revived by Prospect Park after network cancelation, premiered in their new incarnation on April 29, airing on The Online Network, Hulu and iTunes.
"We are really excited to bring OWN viewers and our audience at large an opportunity to catch up on 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' on traditional television," Prospect Park Networks CEO Jeff Kwatinetz said. "We look forward to our millions of fans enjoying the first 40 episodes of the shows."

Off Peak
June 15, 2001
Forget Black Gold or Texas Tea ...
Off Peak
machinery has to sit in the front or back yard? Signo says no, due to the size of most homes in Malibu.
"Most homes are so large and sit on so much property, that many times, the front yard is what is hidden from sight, and the backyard is in plain view. So, it's up to the homeowner where they position the piece of machinery."
But just because you see your name in lights, don't think that city officials in Malibu are going to make installing a generator any easier for you.
"MOVIE STARS HAVE ASKED FOR VARIANCES IN THE CODE IN THE PAST, AND WE'VE TOLD THEM 'NO,'" says Signo. "Movie stars have to go through the same rigorous process as everyone else." That rigorous process involved not only following the city planning codes, but also having the plans for construction approved by the Coastal Commission. Signo says that the Coastal Commission does a three-part check to make sure the construction will have no negative effects on the environment in Malibu.
So, while it may not be the end-all, fix-all solution for the California energy crunch, many individuals have found that the use of personal generators is definitely worthwhile-particularly when it comes to keeping cool. And as the situation out West continues to escalate, Californians can look for more and more of these machines to pop up in a backyard near you.

Versatile movie roles
What made Cruise popular was not just his good looks and style. The actor has time and again experimented with his looks and chosen characters that challenged his acting abilities and compelled him to go unconventional. Be it his recent shockingly impressive makeover as Rockstar Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages or the foul-mouthed studio head character in Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder. Him shaking the booty for the same was simply hilarious. He was impressive in a negative role, that of a contract killer in Collateral as well. He didn't do blockbusters only. Him dancing in his underwear in Risky Business was another hit.

Another Perricone favourite
By Forthy
from Kitchener Ontario
I just love the ease of application and texture of this product. It is really too soon to comment on it effectiveness but what I can say is that using it in combination with the other products in this line I am seeing crows feet and chin lines diminishing. As is the previous reviewer I as well have smoked and those lines aren't shown progress but it is too soon.You must be patient as it took years for lines to embed themselves so several months of Perricone won't cure everything overnight. Just love this line.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By tsc fan
from St. Catharines, Ont.
I have been on the deep wrinkle serum since February and it definitely works, however, for some of us it may take longer to see the results. I use to smoke and had wrinkles from that but they have seem to not be as deep and also the lines around my eyes are not as noticable including the number 11 lines. I had my doubts for awhile because I did not notice a difference BUT I decided to continue to use the produrct until after summer. FINIALLY the last week in June I looked in the mirror and my fine lines seemed to have disappeared and the deep wrinkles are not as deep anymore. That same week a waiter did not believe me when I asked for a senior discount and a few days later an acquaintance told me how good I looked. NO, I am not going to stop using this product in September. For some of us it may take longer to see a difference depending on our skin but give it a chance, it is expensive but I honestly think it is worth it. I have also tried the cold plasma sub D for the neck and love that product.

On the Fence RE: this product
By CAROL
from TORONTO
I have used this product for awhile now and unfortunately am a smoker. This has done nothing for the deep lines around my mouth and chin, but it has worked well with the fine lines around my eyes. Would I re-order, I would have to think about it since it is expensive for the size, mind you a tiny bit goes a long way. That is why I said I am on the fence about re-ordering. For fine lines this product works well.

Too Expensive for the Results
By Susan
from small town, ONT
I received this in a Showstopper quite a while ago and am still using it off and on--a little goes a long way. I have never noticed "instant" results or even "the 5 minute miracle"....but it does seem to tighten and lift targeted areas slightly a while after application and with continued use. Unfortunately because of the extremely high price--I would not buy this on it's own unless it was included with another showstopper or on 'special'.

Perricone's Must Have Product!
By Janie
from Northern Ontario
While I love all of Dr. Perricone's products, they are pricey. But this product I HAVE to have! If you are older with deep wrinkles, this really works. Buy this, and then when the Shopping Channel offers great prices on his other items, take advantage of them. Any of his eye products are wonderful, along with the High Potency line. Just add this great serum, and you will be set. The Deep Wrinkle Serum lasts a long time and works like magic, especially for older skin types. It is the perfect base for other products. I can't be without it.

best of the lineup
By JOANNE
from Canada,BC,WHITE ROCK
I found this serum to be fantastic for the horizontal lines and wrinkles on my neck. The improvement was notable within a couple of weeks. I tested my perception by going without it for a few weeks, and definitely noticed a return in the visibility of lines. Although disappointed in some products in this line, I would highly recommend this serum to anyone with similar needs to mine. Top Perricone product, in my estimation.

Expected more
By MARIAN
from Canada,ON,CAMPBELLFORD
I'm usually wary about "Wrinkle" products since several I've tried fell short of their promises. I researched the toxity level of this product and it was quite low -- which was impressive. But was I impressed with this product? I must say no. I bought all products in this line I normally use so that there would be no interaction with any other products' ingredients.After using this product for over 2 months there was no change even in light superficial lines. It may be that this product would work on another skin type but considering the price, I would not recommend.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: I was talking to a bouncer at my local bar one night. He apparently used to play for the Tampa Bay Bucaneers and is one big guy. (6'7 330+ ) He told me a simple way to gain weight would be yeast packets. Mix a packet with water and drink it down once or twice a day. Can I get some feedback on this guys it's an interesting concept to say the least. He said he gained like 70lbs in 6-80 months or so. What do you guys think.

[Here are some excerpts from a Reddit AMA ("Ask Me Anything") session done with Stanley Kubrick's daughter, Katharina, and her son Joe Hobbs. Joe had recently discovered the Reddit topic on Kubrick, and wanted to a Q&A about his grandfather. He was asked to provide verification that he was who he said he was (above).]
"Given your family's heavy background in the arts (your father/grandfather being who he was and your mother/grandmother being an actress, singer, painter, dancer, etc), do you see yourself becoming involved in any field of the arts?"
Katharina: Yes I am a painter and a jeweler. You can see my paintings on www.kubrickart.com.
Joe: I just graduated so I'm currently seeking employment at a studio. My work is here: www.JLHGameArt.com. I've spoken to Grandmother about this a few times. She thinks he would be fascinated by it all and would be very encouraging. Every time I show her my work her reactions are always 'Stanley would have loved it.'
"What are your favorite memories of Stanley? What was he like around the house?"
Katharina: He was just a Dad who liked making tuna sandwiches and watching sport on TV. He was always working, and we learned a lot being around him. He was a very affectionate Dad, who could solve all your problems, and when he died our protective umbrella was gone.
Joe: Very kind, always showed an interest in what we were doing. Very encouraging of me learning to play chess. Basically what you would expect of any grandfather… I remember as a 12 year old he caught me and a friend in one of his offices full of boxes, books and paperwork. We made a run for it, saying sorry while very quickly making our exit.
"There are rumors that Kubrick had thoughts about some conspiracy theories. Did he ever share any of these with you two?"
Katharina: I once gave him a book, can't remember the title, about all the weird and wonderful conspiracy theories out there. He was once convinced that a Chinese restaurant that we used to go to was a cover for some dastardly espionage activities! He thought the M'aitre D, was far too intelligent a man to be running a restaurant. We laughed and teased him as we chewed our egg rolls.
"Well seeing how no one has asked yet… What would you rather fight? One horse-sized duck, or a hundred duck-sized horses?"
Joe: A hundred duck-sized horses.
[I had been very disturbed because I thought I had been pronouncing "Kubrick" wrong all these years, having heard Vivian K. say "Q-Brick" in an interview, but…]
Katharina: Koo-brick is American and Que-brick is more English. But I answer to both.

you already have trim--at top of cabinets and your crown molding! Why not pick up a color you alredy have in kitchen--red canisters? or something you can see in an adjoining area--and try fiding an accessory or two or three--perhaps in an antique store or flea market--and hang one over your sink to see how you like the effect, then gradually add a few others to see how you like the effect. This is a better alternative than removing the soffits and have an impossible place to dust all the time! Is there a color in your flooring you can use--or a bit of fabric valance on you can add to your kitchen window? Good luck.

Steve Kerr is methodical. It's a good thing there isn't a shot clock attached to his key decisions. But he got this one right.
If the Suns weren't going to hire Doug Collins, there was only one other choice, one other name to retain credibility and the look of a contender. That's Terry Porter, the new head coach on Planet Orange.
Cheer now. But some big announcements are still to come.
"I think the most important thing is that Terry and Steve have a great connection with one another," Collins said. "And I think the fact that Steve played with him, has a confidence level with him, has been with him in the locker room and knows him as a leader . . . there's a real comfort there."
When Porter is officially introduced this week, we will hear his voice and his vision. We can judge his tone and gauge his leadership skills. I'm almost sure we'll be impressed. We also will find out if Porter plans to hire any of the in-house candidates suddenly pining for a seat on the bench, or if he comes with Paul Silas as lead defensive assistant.
There is a delicate balance here. A Porter-Silas combo platter would be a powerful thing, and just what the Suns need to make Amaré Stoudemire pay attention and rebound the basketball. But a force-fed assistant coach already on the payroll could be viewed as an organizational mole, thus undermining Porter before he ever coaches a game.
Remember, the NBA is the ultimate player's league, and a marginalized head coach is like a bleeding fish, soon to be devoured. A coach can't have complete autonomy if he refuses to practice defense or use his bench. But he must have a strong power base and great loyalty from everyone on his staff, and that happens only if the coach is the one who chooses his underlings.
Whether or not he was paranoid, it's clear that former coach Mike D'Antoni began to feel the undertow of dissent, the tickle of knife tips in his back. He felt as if his ability to lead was being compromised by an infrastructure and an organization that didn't believe in the coach's philosophy.
Granted, no one's griping and the divorce worked for everyone, Suns fans included. Yet D'Antoni once seemed so wedded to the cause, so much a part of the community. And his decision to bail rather than implement minor changes either speaks poorly of him or of an organization that has been cleansed of the Colangelo influence.
In that light, the hiring of Porter marks the official beginning of the Kerr Era. A general manager's most personal stroke always is his head coach, and I'm betting that Porter was Kerr's guy all along, from the moment a silent yet festering rift developed between him and D'Antoni.
Collins would have been the perfect choice, and he actually was interviewed as a potential lead assistant. Somewhere after the Bulls became interested in Collins, those talks morphed into conversations about the big job. Though no one is saying so, it's obvious that Collins wasn't exactly enamored with the Suns' aging roster or the falling window of opportunity.
But Porter is the perfect save. No doubt, it'll be a tough job, stressing defense and practicing hard for the first time in four years. Some players surely will be jolted, maybe even bruised by the culture change.
Yet the new guy is old school, experienced enough to warrant immediate respect from Shaquille O'Neal, who tends to gain weight and lose interest when paired with the wrong coach. Porter is accomplished enough to have sway with the stubborn Stoudemire, who is the key to everything.
"I know our guys even brought a whiteboard (during the interview) and said, 'OK, five seconds left, draw up a play,' " Suns majority owner Robert Sarver said. "They spent a fair amount of time getting into the nuts and bolts, and they felt he'd be a good person from an Xs and Os standpoint.
"I met with him, and I think he'll interact well with fans, with sponsors and be a good representative of the organization. I think he'll command the respect of our players, and I think he'll be a good leader."
So, welcome Terry Porter. And understand that a rookie coach wouldn't have had a chance.

From Wikiquote
- Remember, you have been given absolute power to bind and to loose, but the greater the power, the more terrible its responsibility.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
- Life, man is given as something worthy of sacrifice in the way of His love; free will, as exemplary of justice, is the mechanism by which one's choice in that sacrifice must be made.
- We create the world in which we live; if that world becomes unfit for human life, it is because we tire of our responsibility.
- There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.
- One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license.
- Once you have glimpsed the world as it might be, it is impossible to live anymore complacent in the world as it is.
- Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.
- If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.
- Abigal Van Buren
- Work on yourself first, take responsibility for your own progress.
- I Ching
- Responsibility: A detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one's neighbor. In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star.
- Ambrose Bierce
- The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.
- Joan Didion
- The great thought, the great concern, the great anxiety of men is to restrict, as much as possible, the limits of their own responsibility.

Rodney Ho has decided that talking in third person is deeply amusing, especially from politicians and athletes and even the occasional puppet.
On Live Apartment Fire, WXIA-TV reporter Jeff Hullinger (right) mused about how Gubernatorial candidates Nathan Deal and John Oxendine were prone to talking about themselves using their own names rather than "I."
I'm certain I've interviewed celebrities before who have referred to themselves this way but sadly, I can't recall.
Bob Dole is one of the most famous politicians to employ this, to the point of self parody. A bit from a 1988 Time magazine story:
As Dole toured the South late last week, he seemed depressed and distracted. His press entourage had dwindled. Rally crowds were thin. In a Florida address, the ordinarily aggressive Senator was on the defensive. "Whatever you see on TV ads, Bob Dole is not going to raise taxes," he said, once again employing the third-person syntax that is beginning to sound like self-parody. "Bob Dole has never raised taxes."
This classic "Seinfeld" episode lampooned third person references with the character Jimmy inspiring Elaine and George to start doing it, too.
Rickey Henderson, the Hall of Fame baseball player, used to talk in third person but excused himself by saying he was sometimes just talking to himself:
A sample quote: A reporter asked Henderson if Ken Caminiti's estimate that 50 percent of Major League players were taking steroids was accurate. His response was, "Well, Rickey's not one of them, so that's 49 percent right there."
Elmo does it, too. And the Muppet tweeted about it earlier this year:
"Someone just told Elmo yesterday was Talk in Third Person Day. Elmo doesn't know what that is but it sounds fun. Can Elmo play?"

Great article Rodney and Jeff. I miss Bob Dole and he sure was the one I remember with the "third person" speak. Cracks me up to this day and I still use it for emphasis, ie, "I don't like well done burgers, Bob Dole doesn't like well done burgers so nobody likes well done burgers"……..or something like that. Great memories in this article. Thanks Guys and keep up the great work…………..Nelson

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Several lanes of I-55 north were blocked Thursday afternoon while rescue crews cleaned up a messy accident.
It happened just south of Adkins Road in Jackson. Three vehicles were involved: a small Honda SUV with Louisiana plates, a black Chevy Avalanche truck, and a small black Ford car.
We're told four people were transported from the scene. The extent of their injuries is not known. Crews kept busy sweeping up shattered tail lights and other debris.

"Good selection of cards to choose from. Fairly easy to play around with different fonts and sizes to get desired wording to fit in text boxes. They shipped and were received quickly and we were pleased with both quality and price."
"Excellent quality, charming and sweet, just what we were looking for! The customer service/delivery was fast and efficient. The lamb design on the back finished it off perfectly! We can't wait to mail them out in October and hear the oohs and aahs! 5 stars on all counts. I am now awaiting the finishing touches (thank-you notes, stickers, and address labels) which I'm sure will also be wonderful! Thank you very much!"
"This invitation is beautiful and very chic. The colors I ordered it in were pink and sage green. This combination of colors are very elegant. I was also very pleased with the quality of the paper, envelope and printing!!!!! I have received many wonderful compliments on this invitation for our baby shower."
"I loved this print and really wanted it even though it wasn't for a baby shower. I edited and changed a few things... Turned out just perfect! I even had a map for directions for where the venue will be, printed on the back of the card and it too came out great! Quality of the card is very good and the print itself is very good quality too, very clear and no bleeding. Family and friends loved it when they received them. Very happy customer and will definitely continue using tiny prints for all our special occasions."
"My husband and I have been thoroughly pleased with this product. It is exactly what we had imagined it to be. Amazing paper quality and great product overall!! I would always come back to this site for any future invitations. :)"

INDIANAPOLIS – Seven area schools will compete among the best marching bands the state has to offer Saturday.
Some of the groups are regulars at the Indiana State School Music Association state marching band finals while others are returning to the spotlight after a hiatus. The event takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium.
"At this point, everyone should just do what they know how to do and enjoy themselves," said Terry Fisher, longtime director of the DeKalb Baron Brigade.
The 124-member group is returning to the finals for the 19th time in its history, he said, and will focus on the DeKalb County community in its performance.
The Barons are the only area band competing in Class B.
Other area bands that will compete Saturday are the Concordia Lutheran Marching Cadets, the Homestead Spartan Alliance, the Angola Marching Hornets, the Carroll Charger Pride, the Norwell Marching Knights and the Adams Central Squadron of Sound.
Homestead, led by Director Steve Barber, is returning to the state finals for an astounding 27th consecutive year.
The 291-member band – the largest in its history – took second place last year; in 2011, Homestead won the title.
This year, Homestead's theme is "The Night Circus," based on the book about a magical circus. One part will feature a risky gymnastic move and eventually the fans of the circus will join the show.
Homestead will compete in Class A along with Carroll, which is appearing at the state finals for first time since 2006 under a second-year director with previous state titles to his credit.
Director Doug Hassell previously won with Norwell but now is leading the Charger Pride.
The 165-member band tells the story of guardian angels fighting off bad things in our lives. The close of the show is about thanking our guardian angels and is "very powerful and moving," he said.
Class C has three area bands, including Concordia Lutheran.
Director Dianne Moellering said the theme is "One Mission" and focuses on words that are a Christian mission, such as trust, pray, belief.
She said people will recognize some of the music as a familiar hymn even if they can't place it exactly.
Concordia was runner-up last year and has been at the finals every year since 2007. It has 73 members.
Norwell's show, "Roots," will focus on the growth of an acorn into a mighty tree, which is firmly rooted to weather the storms of life, Director Cory Kelley said.
He is in his second year as director at Norwell, which has been crowned state champion three times in the last 15 years and earned runner-up twice. There are 86 band members.
The Angola Marching Hornets round out Class C with the theme of "Reaching Out." The band uses the hands from Michelangelo's "Adam" as symbolism for the piece. The third act of the show shows the hands finally meeting and working together for a common goal, Director Kevin Fogle said.
Angola, with 80 members, made it to the finals last year and is returning for the sixth time with Fogle as director.
Competing in Class D will be Adams Central, led by Director Michael Satterthwaite. Its theme is "Celebrating Innovation."

When a second-grader at Arnold Mill Elementary was hospitalized last month for a congenital heart defect, his teacher felt the need to do something.
Bronco Reese, 7, was hospitalized on Oct. 21 and will remain in the hospital until he can get a heart transplant.
Deb Havens told CBS Atlanta News that her students miss Bronco and ask about him all the time.
"We just want him to do what the doctor says and get back to us as soon as possible," said Havens.
A parent herself, Havens felt a strong desire to do something to help get the word out about the need for pediatric organ donations, so she started an online petition.
"I guess it would be a way to help your child live on by giving another child life," said Havens.
Classmates have sent video messages to Bronco and written well wishes on a poster hanging out their classroom.
CBS Atlanta News talked to Bronco's parents Scott and Joanna about the kind words and gestures. His father became emotional.
"They said they look at his desk every day and imagine him there. It's emotional," said Reese.
If you want to help, the family has set up an online donation page.

BroadSoft supports an extensive interoperability, providing assurance to telecommunication service providers that Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) devices work seamlessly together with the BroadWorks platform.
Access Partners are companies that provide customer-premise equipment (CPE) and network hosted access equipment for either the business or consumer markets. These devices and equipment use the SIP or Media Gateway Control Protocols (MGCP) to communicate with BroadWorks.
Some examples of access equipment are SIP phones, Media Phones, ATAs, IP-PBX, Session Border Controllers, SIP Soft clients and Voice Mail Platforms.
Network Partners are companies that provide equipment that, from a BroadWorks perspective, face the network. Some examples of network devices are soft switches, media/PSTN gateways or SIP Proxies.
Through BroadSoft Device Management, providers can quickly provision analog terminal adapters (ATAs), IP phones, integrated access devices (IADs) and IP PBX equipment or any access device that uses XML/HTTP for profile management at the customer site. A simple login process is used to retrieve the appropriate user-specific files directly from BroadWorks. Providers manage and control all aspects of device configuration centrally in the network, reducing the time it takes to provision phones from hours to minutes and eliminating the need for a technician visit.

So, I just finished putting this together and have fully tested it out. It holds up great and looks good. The bounce is amazing and feels like you are floating. I bought a hammock chair to go with it, and it fits and works great.
This was very easy to put together. It is very sturdy and worth the price. Have seen similar stands for much more.
This stand was easy to assemble and very sturdy. Very happy with this purchase.
Very sturdy, heavy product. DOes what it says. I've had it for over a year and no rust, no problems.
I was pleased to receive this because when I went to put it together it was very simple and took little time at all. Once I attached the chair to it I was ready to go. Very sturdy. Looks good in my backyard and it is so much fun.
I really like this product, however my hammock chair is large, so I need to shorten the ropes of the chair so I don't bottom out when I try to use the chair. Perhaps an extension for the stand could solve my problem? Than you I really am happy being able to use my hammock chair after losing the tree that I formerly used to hang it. AB
This is a very big, sturdy stand. It is difficult to move around though and you hang very low, so no spring can be used to hang it. But overall I really like it.
It was very easy to assemble and didn't take any time at all to do. It is perfect for my new home that doesn't have a heavy beam to support my hammock-chair.
I just got the stand a couple of weeks ago, and so far so good! When it arrived, I immediately took it out of the box and sprayed a rust preventative spray. It's very sturdy for my hammock so far, and I've enjoyed a few mornings out there. I did think it was a little expensive, but I guess that's what you pay for good quality.
I have bought 3 of these and 3 hammock swings, I would not say they are even 265pd weight limit!!!! My son in law sat in it, he is very fit and a police officer in very good shape!! Kept slowly going down until he hit the cement hurting his tail bone!!!! The c arm bolts together and does not seem to be the sturdy were the two pieces join together! ( trust me it was put together correctly!) I called overstocked that night, and they told me to trash it and shipped another one within 2 days! I love them tho, so comfy!!! Maybe just got a bad one, lol! There is always a bad one in every bunch you know. I still own 3 but I'm just very careful who sits in them, don't need any more fractured tail bones! ;). Very pleased with overstock.com!!!!!

I can't find anyone with a HK45 to shoot. I want a full size 45acp weapon. I have a gen3 21 and it is a fantastic weapon but I shot an older Mark 3 (I think that was it with the threaded barrel) USP 45 that was so accurate it was scary. My only issue is accuracy and reliability. Money is no object for this weapon. Any opinions or experiences you can share about the comparison is appreciated...

Personally I'm not a fan of either platform. I hate Glocks grip angle and the HK .45 is like holding onto a 2x4.
I also think the HK's are grossly overpriced for a poly framed gun.
IMHO 2 superior choices would be either the Sig P220 or "if high cap is a must" the XDM .45
Just my .02 cents
I agree with tack on the glock and hk statement mabey check out a 1911 they are really nice full size 45s and deadly accurate I'm not a big fan of poly framed guns
"You can all go to Hell and I will go to Texas"
I also agree with Tack but I was thinking Sig 220X6
Accuracy and Reliability
Its pricey but money is no object
CZ 97B, anything but a 2x4....more like they sculpted the grip for a human hand
I own a gen 2 Glock 21 & have shot an HK .45 acp.....Glock is a better fit for me....it is a real workhorse as I haven't done a great job maintaining it & it's still fundamentally as great as the day I took it out if the box. Glock 21 is a bad a'' weapon & is definitely my shtf sidearm of choice
Try the s&w mp45 the grips fill a lot better then the glock
I own and love my Glocks. I own a G27 gen 4 and a G21 gen 4. I just shot the HK 45. I loved it. I was very accurate with that gun. I can only imagine how I would shoot with the HK USP 45. I want that more so than Kimber 1911 Raptor II. The HK shoots better than my G21. Are there any down sides to the HK 45 or the HK USP 45?
Hmm... anyone who doesn't like HK, I'm guessing doesn't own one.
The HK, hands down is better than the glock. And I'm a glock fanboy. I compete with them( g34, g34, g17 and g20).
I'm also a huge HK fan, and they are better.
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship?
Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
The HK feels nicer to shoot than the G21 to me. But I don't like it enough over the G21 to spend the extra on it, and extra mags for what HK wants for them.
The G21 shoots about as accurate for less money, and maintaining it costs less as well.
