When you're the second pick in the NBA Draft, certain expectations await you. Some want to see you helping your team almost immediately, while others expect you to automatically take up a starting role. Of course going from playing in college to the NBA isn't as seamless as that, otherwise we'd all be doing it. However, the Orlando Magic's Victor Oladipo did a very good job in his rookie year of coming in and making an impact almost immediately, something that bodes well for his personal future and that of this franchise.
Let's just jump right in there, Oladipo has been a real positive for this team. If you're asking this writer (who is not biased, but readers won't believe him), Oladipo should win the Rookie of the Year award. He won't, it will go to Michael Carter-Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers. A sound choice of course, and one that more than 90 percent of people will make. Yes, Carter-Williams led all rookies is scoring (16.7), assists (6.3) and rebounds (6.2). For this reason he should be the obvious winner, and again that is a valid and tight argument. However, Oladipo wasn't too far behind in those statistical categories, with 13.8 points, 4.1 assists and also 4.1 rebounds. He only started 41 games to Carter-Williams' 70, but overall Oladipo played in 80 games, 10 more than Carter-Williams. Also the Philadelphia 76ers lost 26 straight games, can you really reward a player who is a part of that catastrophe? Yes, Carter-Williams played well during that period, but when a team is so clearly trying to tank, it diminishes his effect on the court. In a losing environment like that, he looks a lot better.
We're not just here to argue Oladipo's Rookie of the Year case though. Away from that he has had a positive effect on this team. Starting nearly exactly half the games he played versus the games he came off the bench, this balance showed that he was capable of affecting this team in a positive manner no matter what way he was used. Spending time both as a point guard and in his more natural shooting guard role, he actually did a lot of different things in his first year in the league, whether it be asked to set the table for teammates or take on the scoring burden himself. This diversification of how he was used shows both the talent he has now and the potential within him to really improve as time goes on. Consider this; Evan Turner was the second overall pick in the 2010 draft, and there are many out there who feel Oladipo has already had more of an impact than Turner did with the team that drafted him, the 76ers. So has Carter-Williams for that matter.
We can't talk about the rookie year of Oladipo without mentioning the two standout moments of his season. The first was puttingup a triple-double against the 76ers, on a night when Carter-Williams did the same as they became the only two rookies in NBA history to post triple-doubles in the same game. The second was his breakout performance against the New York Knicks in a come-from-behind victory before the All-Star break. He posted 30 points and 14 rebounds in the win at home, becoming the first rookie since the 1985-86 season to do. A lot of great players have been rookies in that time, which shows you what kind of talent this guy is capable of producing when the team needs it. Even more impressive, in that game which went to double-overtime, he had started poorly and through the first three quarters had only shot 3-of-10 for 11 points before heating up and leading the team to the win. Now that is confidence.
Of course it can't all be good, and if we've spoken about Carter-Williams Rookie of the Year campaign being smeared by those 26 losses, we must speak about the Magic's ugly road record too. Orlando won only four games away from home all year, and Oladipo must take some of the grief for that, he is a part of this team after all. His Player Efficiency Rating of 13.6 is also below the league average of 15, and so he could be doing more to help this team get wins. The 3.2 turnovers a game aren't great, either, but when you're learning how to play the point guard position on the fly in the toughest basketball league on planet earth, these things are going to happen. For the most part though it has been good news for the Magic, with Oladipo being everything that was advertised.
It wasn't billed as being a particularly strong draft, but still Victor Oladipo has emerged as one of the early success stories of his rookie class. That can all change in an instant of course, but right now it is clear that he was a positive for an Orlando Magic team that needs to get back onto the playoff track sooner rather than later. Expectation grows around these parts next season, and Oladipo needs to grow with them. For now though we'll let him have his moment, it has been a really great maiden campaign for the former Indiana University player.

LAPORTE | Both Chesterton's Kelly Grassel and Valparaiso's Harley Dubsky carded under-par rounds at Friday's Pat Ford Invitational.
The duo's matching 1-under 73s were personal-best prep rounds at Beechwood Golf Course, but that didn't mean either thought their performances were really above-par.
"Overall, I was pretty consistent," said Grassel, who tied for runner-up medalist honors with Dubsky. "No mistakes, but there was nothing spectacular."
Dubsky fought off a cold, but that didn't mean she was ecstatic about her number.
"You always feel like you leave shots out there," Dubsky said. "My nose was stuffy and my neck was sore. I feel better now, because I'm going to be able to go home and go to bed."
Both players helped their teams finish in the top three at the event. Top-ranked Penn distanced the field with a 314, while the No. 17 Trojans were second (337) and the No. 11 Vikings third (349).
The Kingsmen's Kari Bellville won medalist honors with a 71.
Grassel, last year's medalist, was more impressed with the play of her teammates. Stephanie Drake and Nicole Dutz carded 87s, while Marissa Kroeger had a 90.
Grassel missed a few matches this week due to her participation in the American Junior Golf Association Championship. In one of those matches, the Trojans edged Valpo by a stroke.
"My team has shown that they can play without me," said Grassel, who was 52nd at the national event. "I think that gave them some confidence. It makes me feel like they are strong enough to hold us up."
Chesterton shaved 12 strokes off last year's Pat Ford performance, which impressed coach Dale Hewitt.
"Iv'e told people all along that we have a solid team," Hewitt said. "Our whole lineup is strong."
As for the Vikings, freshman Jennifer Gough carded an 82, and the team was 11 shots under last season's score.
"The girls stepped up," Dubsky said. "This is a good setup for us for regional."
Crown Point finished fourth at 366. Alyssa Harvey led the way with an 88. Coach John Haas also believes Friday's performance could pay postseason dividends in two weeks.
"I think we have a real smart group of girls," Haas said. "The mistakes they made today won't be made when we get back here for regional. They are students of the game. They constantly work at their game to make themselves better."

In his annual Eid message, Taliban leader Mullah Omar has called on his fighters to spare civilians and promised that his group will not monopolize power after foreign troops leave Afghanistan next year. In a lengthy statement published on the group's website today, he said:
I assure all, no personal revenge will be taken on any one following the end of occupation because our struggle is neither for achievement of personal gains nor personal power… I reiterate once again that we do not think of monopolizing power… Rather we believe in reaching understanding with the Afghans regarding an Afghan-inclusive government based on Islamic principles.
While Omar's conciliatory tone may raise hopes in Washington and Kabul over the prospect of a political settlement with the group to end the Afghan war, any notion that the Taliban will honor its pledges in the future is pure folly.
As Pakistani author Ahmed Rashid documented in his book "Taliban: The Power of Militant Islam in Afghanistan and Beyond," Taliban leaders preached inclusivity and peace when it first emerged in southern Afghanistan in 1994. Indeed, the group conquered much of southern and western parts of the country not by military offensives but by co-opting and negotiating with regional power holders of different ethnicities. But once it captured Kabul in 1996, the Taliban eschewed slogans of inclusivity and embraced despotism. It killed or marginalized moderate Pashtun leaders and excluded all non-Pashtun ethnic minorities that make about 60% of the country's population.
Omar's show of concern for civilian casualties should also be taken with a grain of salt. Omar made a similar remark in last year's Eid message, but a recent UN report showed a 23% rise in civilian killings this year – nearly three quarters of them by the Taliban.
Omar also made clear that the Taliban would not accept the Afghan constitution and denounced Afghanistan's upcoming presidential elections:
As to the deceiving drama under the name of elections 2014, our pious people will not tire themselves out, nor will they participate in it. Our pious and Mujahid people know that selection, de facto, takes place in Washington… Participation in such elections is only a waste of time, nothing more.
The Taliban reject democracy and elections because of both religious beliefs and pragmatism. The group's members believe legitimacy comes from God – not elections. In 1996, Omar assumed the title of Amir al-Mu'minin – Commander of the Faithful who should rule the Islamic community in the world – not through an election but an oath of allegiance by his supporters, including Osama bin Laden. Moreover, the group lacks popular support in Afghanistan and realizes that its only chance of returning to power is through violence.
Although Omar reiterated in today's statement that his group would continue fighting against the "infidel invaders and their allies," he maintained that his group was open to talks with Washington through the Qatar office. But it is clear from his words that he pursues talks not to reach a settlement to end the conflict, but to encourage Washington to speed up troop withdrawal and not to leave behind a residual force that could help the Afghan government after 2014.

A decent treat although it really needs to be broken into pieces
posted 5 years ago
I got a case of these as a Christmas gift one year, and the dogs were thrilled that someone had clued into the fact that they wanted food! I knew that the Kirkland/Costco brand stuff was pretty good, so I had no problem offering the biscuits to my pets. Well, no problem until I saw the huge size of each one. If my dogs were Great Danes it would have been a good choice, but I had to break them into smaller pieces for my pack. They really didn't need most of their daily caloric intake to be from dog cookies.
Pros: Good quality ingredients, dogs like it
Cons: Only available at Costco, bones are large sized

Chara: 'We know we have to be better'
|03.02.10 at 10:45 pm ET
For 40 minutes, it looked like Zdeno Chara and the Bruins had the Canadiens right where they wanted them.
They were playing solid defense, Tuukka Rask had turned away all 18 shots and run his shutout streak to 127 minutes, 15 seconds and they even converted a chance in front of the opposing goalie on the power play for a 1-0 lead.
All the Bruins had to do was keep it up for 20 more minutes and not only would they finally win at home, they would run their winning streak to five games and put some distance between themselves and the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
But as was the case before the break, the Bruins – especially on defense – picked a bad time to start skating backwards. And as a result – four unanswered Canadiens goals in the third – the Bruins had endured their 10th straight home loss.
"We know we have to be better, especially at home, especially at this time of year going into the end of the season and pushing to play in the playoffs. We know we need to be better. We have to take advantage of being at home, for sure," Chara said.
Counting Thursday's home match against Toronto before a seven-game road trip, the Bruins have just nine home games remaining.
"Those games we have left, we have to find a way. We have to make sure we win most of them," Chara added.

text: Israeli Soldier Severely Hurt on Gaza Border: Military Print article Send a Tip from AFP 23 Oct 2012 post a comment An Israeli soldier was severely wounded by Palestinian fire along the Gaza border early on Tuesday, just hours before a high-profile visit to the strip by the Qatari emir, the military said. Although the army did not say how he was hurt, military sources suggested it may have been the result of an explosive device. "A soldier was severely wounded during a routine patrol along the fence in the Kissufim area," a military spokeswoman said of the incident which occurred near central Gaza shortly before 7:00 am (0500 GMT). Military sources said his injuries were "definitely caused by Palestinian fire," telling AFP: "We are checking the possibility that was an explosive device." Hamas security sources told AFP the explosion occurred during an incursion by Israeli forces into Gaza territory. "The IDF (army) will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians, and will operate against anyone who uses terror against the state of Israel," a military statement warned. "Terror organisations continue their relentless attempts to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers by using the area adjacent to the security fence for laying explosive devices and attempting to execute terror attacks," the statement added. It added that an explosive device was detonated a week ago against soldiers patrolling along the fence, damaging a military vehicle. Tuesday's incident came just hours ahead of the arrival of Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani who was due to cross from Egypt into southern Gaza at 11:00 am (0900 GMT), in what will be the first visit by a head of state since the Islamist Hamas movement forcibly took over the territory in 2007. On Monday morning, Israeli troops patrolling the border clashed with Palestinian militants, prompting a series of air strikes which according to medics left two dead and four critically wounded. Palestinian witnesses said Monday's incident too had occurred after troops crossed onto the Gaza side of the border.

Did you take some solace in knowing that you could at least have the Pro-Bowl to watch one last Miami Dolphin play this season? Not anymore. The Miami Dolphins pro-bowl left tackle, Jake Long, will miss the game with a hip injury.
To add a little insult to that injury, Long will be replaced by NY Jets LT D'Brikashaw Ferguson. The irony is that it was Cleveland's Joe Thomas in his 2nd season that was injured and replaced by Long. Now, in Long's 2nd season, he too is being replaced.
With the announcement of Long's injury and Pro-Bowl abcense, the Miami Dolphins will now be sending no one to the event being staged in their own back-yard. No other Dolphin was voted into the Pro-Bowl.

Endeavours into the world of electronics
Last week I got a new development device, a Galaxy Nexus, mainly for Android development since I bricked my old Galaxy S. Sooner or later I would try to install my favorite alpha mobile OS: Firefox OS. I really wanted to try Firefox OS because of how they want HTML5 to be the primary (and unique) way to build applications, but since I NEVER run anything on emulators, I was waiting until I had a device that was compatible.
So I went to their docs to get started on how to flash their OS into my Galaxy Nexus. The first thing that I see is that they don't provide binaries, that's not good, but I can compile it myself, no big deal. So I started following their Building/Installation entries, installed all the prerequisites, pulled the code from their repo and ran the configure command to prepare the repo. Then I realized it was downloading the Android source code, which is fucking huge and takes an eternity to download, at this point I realized things weren't going to be good.
For some reason they weren't using Google's servers to get Android's code, but instead the shitty Linaro ones, I was getting a extremely unreliable, 60kb/s download, it was a hell. After 4 hours trying to get all the code it started failing bad and then it wouldn't download the rest anymore, so I went to their IRC channel hoping to get some help, but couldn't get much of it, but what was interesting from the conversation in the IRC is that their primary development target isn't phones, but the shitty emulator.
I can rant about emulator and all that crap for days here, but I prefer not to. So, dear Mozilla, if you want developers to really care about the awesome product that you're building, you should first give us a fast and easy way to install it on our devices.
If you look closer at all these 5th place mobile OSes (Ubuntu Touch, Firefox OS, and Tizen) you'll realize one major thing: It looks like they'll never ship (yeah Tizen, you're the worst at the time), they just appear to be a bunch of vaporware.
I really love to see all these emerging technologies and have fun with development stuff, but if I can't install it, I'll just loose my interest and never look back. I think I'll never try Firefox OS again, it was a great experiment, but if you focus on crap emulators I won't support your platform.
Today I could finally watch the Stallman's interview on The Linux Action Show, and their second video about it, and I couldn't agree more with Bryan, so I thought about writing an article about it since most of the responses I saw were just a lot of crap thrown at a person that wants to make a living out of software development.
Stallman has a great dream that software should be "free", but I think that the developer must also have the freedom to choose if they want to charge or not for their software. Free software is great, but if a developer wants to make a living out of their software, which means be dedicated full-time and not have another job, it's almost impossible if you only make free software, even if you accept donations they won't be good enough to make a living. Which means you'll have to charge for some of your software.
When I'm going to get any kind of software the first thing that I look is at the description, what it does and what it doesn't, then I look at the screenshots. If the software is considered good (in my opinion of good) I'll download, if it's free, or buy, if it's paid. The developer has the freedom to choose the price of their software and I respect that, if the developer thinks that his app is worth $10 and I think it's worth too, I'll surely buy it.
Bryan and Chris also talk about the proliferation of the "App Stores" as a bit of a bad thing. Of course it has it's cons, but they have a huge pro which is how easily it makes for users to discover and get software. This is good for the user, that will be able to get more software to fit his needs, and is good for the developer which will get more downloads/revenue.
Let's take me as an example. I'm a student which is very thankful to my parents for supporting me to study and have some time to develop software for fun. That's why I build software that I want/need to use the best examples (and the ones I'm mostly proud for) are build.prop Editor and stream.json, these are all licensed under the GPLv3, but I'm going to start reworking (long story, worked for 1 month to start this project, all was almost ready and a lot of bugs on bbUI.js made me very depressed and leading to my rage quit from BlackBerry development) and it will be a $0.99 app for iOS, Android, and maybe BlackBerry. My decision to charge for this app is just because of the time I've invested and will invest on it.
Free software is a great thing, but the blind way that Stallman looks at this scene is just mind blowing. If he really wants that every company that develops proprietary software fails he is just going to kill his own idea because most of the big free software projects are possible because huge companies that earn money from proprietary software can pay for employees to contribute to these free projects.
Stallman also said that he wouldn't use/recommend the Raspberry Pi just because of one single proprietary part of it (which is probably the GPU). This, and the discussion about child's food that he had with Bryan, showed how he cannot think about practical implementations of his ideals of freedom. Projects like the Raspberry Pi are the things that are currently keeping my interesting on programming, since the programming scene is so saturated that everything I think might be a cool week pet project never comes out of the paper I've sketched, because there's already a well known and successful project which does exactly what I wanted and more.
What are your thoughts about my opinion? Want to troll? Agree? Leave a comment and I'll love (or not) to read it.
PS: This post was written using proprietary hardware on a Apple MacBook Pro 17" (2010 model), running a proprietary OS called Mac OS X, using a proprietary word processing software called iA Writer.

[Q]Frustration with iMovie and Canon EOS 650D (also called Canon Rebel T4i) H.264 MOV transcoding
"I have had the EOS 650D for a few weeks now and prior to purchasing the Canon EOS 650D, I had been using the Canon EOS 600D. The main reason for the upgrade was down to the following reasons:
•The Digic 5 processor

Disney vs. 7 early fairytales
The 1812 version of Snow White is even worse when you consider that the girl was only seven years old in the tale (plus her unconscious body ended up being carted around by the prince until one of his servants accidentally woke her up). Also, in The Little Mermaid, the mermaid's unable to speak because she had her tongue cut out >__<
But I'd love to see faithful adaptations of the original tales. Especially Bluebeard. We need a Bluebeard adaptation.
Actually, the original-original pre-Grimm Brothers' stories that were passed around Europe via oral tradition are nowhere near as violent as the Grimm's made them. Cinderella's stepsisters were never ugly and kept their eyes, Snow White's mother was not even a villain (instead a group of bandits were), and instead of spending the whole story napping Sleeping Beauty outwitted a dangerous bandit leader, wouldn't let him sleep with her, and saved herself.
The original oral stories were radically changed by the Brothers Grimm to fit their personal and political beliefs. Most notably, they often added in female characters solely for the purpose of making them evil villains and took away most of the heroines' agency and intelligence. Both brothers belonged to a small fanatical sect of Catholicism that vilified women because of the idea of Original Sin and Wilhelm in particular had a particularly deep hatred of women. The Grimms were actually pretty horrible people. Those cannibalistic queens and ugly stepsisters and the mass amount of violence against women didn't exist until the Grimms wanted them to. Their ideas stuck so soundly though that we now assume they were in the original tales and that these terrible characters and ideas come out of some perceived barbaric Old World culture. But in truth they're really the Grimms' weird obsession with hating women showing through. The original oral folklore focused on the heroes' and heroines' good deeds and used them as ways to teach cultural norms and a society's rules and encouraged girls to be quick-witted and street-savvy instead of passive princesses, and the Grimms promptly stripped that all away.
NOPE! Calling you out on your bullshit time.
First, the version of Cinderella that the Disney movie is based on is the (French) Perrault version; the Grimms version, Aschenputtel, is a Cinderella story, containing two stepsisters, a ball, and the infamous cutting off of toes and heels incident, but a Grimms adaptation of Aschenputtel would look radically different than the Perrault adaptation we got in Disney's Cinderella.
Cinderella is one of the oldest and most widely-spread fairy tales in the world. There are literally Cinderella tales from every part of the world (the oldest known variant is from Ancient Greece, and there's Ye Xian, an early Chinese variant). There is no "original" fairy tale, only the most popular versions. The Perrault version was the one that introduced the glass slipper (before that, it was fur, generally, but the French word for fur was remarkably similar to the word for glass, so it became the glass slipper), the fairy godmother, the pumpkin, and a couple of other things, and is the most famous version of the story.
The Joseph Jacobs version of Cinderella also includes the gruesome foot-cutting, as does the Norwegian version of Katie Woodencloak. The Scottish does as well, and the Greek version (Little Saddleslut) has the stepsisters getting hewn into pieces in the end. The Russian "The Little Birch" includes mutilation of the "sisters" as well, and there's a Native American "Cinderella" that has the sisters being turned into trees at the end. A particularly memorable Chinese version has the stepmother and stepsister getting crushed by stones in the end, and the Story of Tam and Cam, the Vietnamese version, Tam (the "Cinderella") is actually killed 3/4 of the way through the story by the mother and then is reincarnated in various ways, eventually getting her happy ending, and the evil sister is killed in a pot of boiling water at the end (at Tam's request!). The "pecking out of eyes" thing was literally one of the only violent things that the Grimms brothers added to that story from the version they likely heard.
If anyone else is interested, here's some links to Cinderella tales form around the world.
And your statement about Snow White is false too. Snow White's mother/stepmother is ALWAYS evil (though sometimes every once in awhile it's her sister). That's a central part of the story. There are versions where the dwarves are instead robbers, but then again, there's a version from Albania (that predates the Grimm version by at least 100 years) where the main character lives with 40 dragons and her sleep is caused by an enchanted ring. That version has the princess being urged to kill her stepmother and take her place. One of the earlier variations by Basile (who predated the Grimms by 100 years, and whose stories are often the source of many of the French and German adaptations of the tales) combines the Snow White and Sleeping Beauty tales with "The Young Slave."
The one that I think you're talking about, an Italian tale titled "Maria, the Wicked Stepmother, and the Seven Robbers," a fairy tale that has her father abandon her in the woods (similar to Hansel and Gretel) and Maria come upon a house belonging to seven robbers, who welcomed her as long as she agreed to cook and clean for them. This also has the "ring caused the sleep" thing, and the Queen (The mother of the prince) was the one who removed it from her finger, causing Maria to wake up.
If you're interested in the history of Snow White, here's a link that can inform you, and here are links to collections of Snow White tales.
Also the Sleeping Beauty assertion is blatantly false, as a) Basile's The Sun, Moon, and Talia is not a Grimms tale (and predates "Little Briar Rose," The Grimms version, by almost 200 years, as does the wildly more popular Perrault version), and b) the whole point of the "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale type is that the maiden sleeps. That's the fairy tale type (Type-410). Which version are you talking about that she outwitted a bandit leader and saved herself?
As you can see, the Grimms really didn't radically change the stories, and you're just spouting off BS because you don't like them. Once again, there are not "original oral stories" because many of these stories occur in various formats (Cinderella has 500 variants in Europe alone) from various time periods. They each have wildly different stories while keeping the same basic theme (which is why they're in the Type: Cinderella or Type-Sleeping Maiden, etc). You obviously either didn't do the research or you're letting your hatred of the Grimms brothers cloud your analysis (I think both).
The Grimms brothers were devout Calvinists, hardly "a small sect of fanatical Catholicism." Calvinism is a major branch of PROTESTANTISM, actually, and is still a major international denomination today. Most settlers in the New England and Mid-Atlantic region were Calvinists, actually, including the Puritans, the French Hugenot, and the Dutch settlers of New York. Today one of the most famous denominations that uses Calvinist theology is a little denomination called the Presbyterians.
The Grimms Brothers were not the only people whose versions of the fairy tales had less than active women (Perrault and Madame Beaumont, for instance, who predated them). You also don't seem to know the methodology which the Grimms Brothers collected their tales: they went and talked to people and recorded their version of the story. You obviously have no background in fairy tales if you believe that cannibalistic queens and mass amounts of violence magically "didn't exist" until the Grimms version. And actually, using fairy tales to teach morals didn't really happen until Charles Perrault, so…
Please don't perpetuate false knowledge, as people on Tumblr will eat it up without doing the research themselves.
And I'm gonna call you right back in return because you're still talking about written versions of the stories, not the oral traditions that I'm talking about.
Every single version you've pointed out is a written story that has been influenced by the authors' own bias. While you're correct in your analysis of those stories, you're incorrect about some of their origins. You're obviously well versed in the written folktales, but you're absolutely wrong about everything that came before the big name collectors stepped into the game.
The Chinese versions you linked, The Jacobs version, and many of the Cinderella ones on that list - you need to look at the dates they were written down. These are not the oral versions of the tales, these are stories that have been shaped by a post-Grimm world. You can't point to a story written by a European scholar in 1954 and tell me it comes from ancient China. You can't point to Jacobs' version of Cinderella that was published after the Grimms' version and say he wasn't influenced by them, especially not when he hero worshipped them. And you can't link an unsourced folktale from an elementary school's website and call it an accurate scholarly version of the traditional tale.
And yes, the Grimms were Calvinists, but their specific church was far from the popular, traditional Calvinism that we're familiar with today. You're clearly not familiar with the changes in the religion over time or the Grimms' religious background if you're going to claim Calvinism didn't have a stark effect on the Grimms' storytelling. It's the main reason physical beauty and purity of women suddenly became important factors of these stories. In Wilhelm's later editions of the stories in particular you can see the addition of religious themes and motifs that didn't exist before. Which swings nicely into my next point about them editing the oral stories…
As far as their research method goes, yes, they gathered tales by talking to native groups, but they heavily, heavily edited those collected tales. You only have to look at earlier versions of the Grimms' tales to see this happening. Earlier versions are closer to their original oral stories, but over time and edits become more violent and misogynist. Compare the 1812 version to the 1857 version. You'll find no violent wicked stepmother in 1812, but simply an unfair mother. Violence against villains - particularly villainous women - increases immensely as well. You can't argue the Grimms didn't increase violence in the stories when you can chart the progress of violence within their own writing over 40 years. Also, Wilhelm was known to pick and choose from various other mythologies and traditions when editing to make the stories better fit his personal tastes. The stories are hardly the traditional Germanic stories they're touted to be because they're so heavily peppered with things like Greek mythology and Biblical allusions. Saying that the Grimms didn't change the stories is patently untrue and ignorant.
You clearly know nothing about oral fairytales and folklore if you're going to claim they didn't teach morals before Perrault. As if Perrault invented telling cautionary tales to your children. As if storytelling as a teaching tool simply didn't exist prior to 1697. That's just blatantly not true and I'd be curious to hear what purpose you think they served before that time then. You need to brush up on your Jack Zipes if you don't think fairytales serve and have always served a social function.
The Sleeping Beauty versions I'm talking about are probably easier to find under the name "Blancaflor" or "Blachefloure" (though it's not the Romantic Medieval story that shares a similar name). Same story type, different name for the girl.
Lastly, I highly recommend you read "Enchanted Maidens" by James Taggart for a crash course in real oral folktales. It's a collection of unedited Spanish folktales straight from the mouths of the ones telling them to their children, verbatim. If you want a well laid out introduction to oral folkore, start there. I think you'll find you have to take back that statement about Snow White's stepmother always being evil if you do.
You seem to forget the very nature of fairy tales (ie, that they are never told the same way twice). Every version of a tale (whether written or oral) is as legitimate as the other, regardless of embellishment or changes of the text. There is no "true tale," because there are so many different versions, even within a confined area. And how are the oral versions that you talk about not influenced by the storyteller's bias? Once again, every tale never told quite the same way twice; for instance, my English teacher, when reading Red Riding Hood to her child, will sometimes add embellishments like "she was in kindergarten and she liked to play soccer in her spare time" to make it more relatable to her child (who is in kindergarten and likes to play soccer) or to illustrate a point. Every time the tale is told will be different depending on the audience and the storyteller in question. Storytellers have biases just like the people who wrote them down.
Question: how do you know the differences between the oral versions of a tale and the written versions? Written tales are our historical record. We have no knowledge of the differences between the exact details of the (many) oral tales and the written ones. We DO have the Brothers Grimms' original 1810 manuscripts, though.
And actually, the Chinese version I linked was Ye Xian, one of the oldest known Cinderella stories (from the 9th century). The Story of Tam and Cam (the Vietnamese Cinderella story) could have been written anytime between the 2nd/3rd century and the 15th…and is largely thought to have no Chinese OR European influence. Your assumption that most of them were written in a Post-Grimms world comes from the dates of the ANTHOLOGIES those stories were included in that those sites got their sources from, not the age of the stories themselves, and your refusal to look at actual sources. I admit that the Jacobs version was written post-Grimms, and I will not deny it.
You seem to have this ridiculous notion that excessive violence and violence against women in fairy tales somehow didn't exist before the Grimms versions. I firmly assure you that this not true. I can't fathom why you would even think that, but there are fairy tales from all over the world that were recorded CENTURIES before the Grimms brothers that had excessive violence and violence against women (And a hell of a lot of violence against men as well). As I've said before, these tales were not intended for the consumption of children, though children were sometimes a part of the audience. As such, they had lots of violence, lots of sex, lots of bawdy jokes and references, and lots of frank discussion about issues that impacted the storytellers' worlds.
Where are your sources for your assertion that the Grimms' particular church was not consistent with mainline 19th century Calvinism? Neo-Calvinism wasn't a thing until around 20 years after their deaths, and if you're referring to Pietism, that was definitely more a Lutheran thing (and later the Methodists), though it definitely influenced the culture's view of religion at that time (though the height of the movement was around 50-60 years before the brothers were even born), and did pervade the Calvinist tradition in some ways.
In Wilheim's later versions, he was bending to the will of middle class parents and the church who wanted the stories to be made suitable for children. You don't seem to understand that the first edition WASN'T MADE for children, and the Grimms brothers were poor, and so to maximize financial success when it began to become popular, they began to sanitize and edit them to make them more suitable. There is a thing called censorship in fairy tales, and there's plenty of articles on it.
The Grimms brothers were trying to please two different audiences. Their first edition was not meant for children at all, and was instead a scholarly pursuit with them trying to record the tales faithfully, even down to colloquial language. It was only when people began buying the book and telling the stories to their children, complaining that the stories were too graphic in nature that the Grimms brothers started extensively editing and sanitizing the tales. Many of the Christian references were added because of harsh criticism that they WEREN'T Christian enough.
Your refusal to look at the greater cultural context and WHY the Grimms brothers edited their tales multiple times until their deaths speaks to your incredible bias and your inability to look past your own hatred.
And I am completely bewildered at what you mean by the 'edited version' of Snow White vs. the original 1812 version, because they read virtually the same except that the mother has been replaced by the stepmother, the change from the Queen wanting the liver and lungs of Snow White to the heart (And the cannibalistic nature), and the manner in which the apple is dislodged from Snow White's mouth (and the shortening of the Prince's mooning over her dead body to make it less creepy). Yes, you do find the violent wicked MOTHER in the 1812 version. She still tries to kill Snow White four separate times (besides the Huntsman one). I am completely nonplussed as to where you are getting this "simply an unfair mother" assertion from.
Yes, the Grimms stories increased in violence (generally) and decreased in literally everything else (mentions of sex and premarital sex, generally immoral things like the Donkeyskin "father wants to marry his own daughter" kind of thing), because surprise surprise: children are fascinated by violence. There is also a cautionary aspect in increasing the violence, as violence to bad characters increases the lesson of "bad people get punished" and violence to good characters, particularly children, helped the MANY abused and poor children of the time (or children who saw themselves as neglected) identify with the characters more.

It is well known (though I guess not by you) that the fairy tales were a relatively accurate representation of everyday life in Germany, particularly among the lower class. In 1806, when the Grimms were beginning to collect their tales, child abandonment and infanticide were still relatively common among the poor. And given the high mortality rate of childbirth, having a stepmother in the house was almost the rule rather than the exception. If you want more information on how the Grimms tales were highly influenced by the everyday life and culture of GERMANY, I suggest you check out "The Hard Facts of the Grimms Fairy Tales" by Maria Tatar, some of which can be viewed for free here. The section detailing the cutlural influences on their tales would be here. I also recommend The Annotated Brothers Grimm, also by Maria Tatar.
I never said that the Grimms didn't change their stories. You are putting words in my mouth. What I SAID is that their original versions are close to what the women they gathered them from told them (as evidenced by the original manuscripts) and that it was largely due to pressure from society and the pressure to sanitize those tales for children that led to many of the changes and the introduction of Christian motifs and whatnot.
One of my favorite articles on the subject of the Grimms' life in general, that also touches on the women who they gathered the tales from and their sanitization of the tales is this one from National Geographic.
You forget that fairy tales were not intended for children for a long time. They were told by women, for women. They were tales women told to each other while doing chores, or around the fire after the children had gone to bed. They were chiefly for entertainment purposes, though there were often lessons embedded in them (because most tales do, after all). There are several records of who exactly they transcribed the tales from (including over 40 by Dorothea Viehmann, many by Marie Hassenpflug, and several from Wilhelm's wife, Dorothea Wild), and several articles and books detailing this process.
Of course Perrault didn't invent telling cautionary tales to children. However, Perrault was the first one to make fairy tales specifically ABOUT teaching morals. As stated before, they were chiefly for entertainment purposes before that point. Writers, editors, and storytellers began to utilize fairy tales in 18th and 19th-century Europe in the moral and cultural education of children. Before that, they were chiefly for adults, whether for the teaching of lessons or entertainment purposes, which is why so many of the tales are particularly gruesome: they are not sanitized for children. I never said that they didn't carry lessons and moral undertones before Perrault; I said utilizing fairy tales specifically to teach morals didn't really exist before Perrault.
I have not been able to find the Sleeping Beauty variant you specified, either through Google searching (it just comes up with the medieval tale you told me it wasn't), or through browsing the different tales of Type-410. The SurLaLune Fairy Tales website's history of Sleeping Beauty tales pins the earliest variant "Perceforest," a 16th century French romance. The Grimms version basically eradicated all of the references to rape, cannibalism, or adultery that was in Basile's "Sun, Moon, and Talia" (as they did many of their tales). If you would direct me to somewhere where I could read the version you reference, I would be most grateful.
And no, I don't have to take back the "interpretation" of Snow White's mother/stepmother always being evil and trying to kill Snow White. That is the foundation of the Snow White fairy tale and appears in all variants of the Snow White tale (though some include the father in them as well). The Basile variant has it, the other Italian versions (Maria, the Wicked Stepmother and the Seven Robbers, The Crystal Casket) have it…all Type-709 tales have this in common: a beautiful daughter persecuted by her jealous mother/stepmother/female authority figure for being beautiful. Several variants can be found here and here.
Frankly, I think you need to take a look at what you're saying, because you really aren't making much sense. Your hatred of the Grimms brothers clouds your judgement and your ability to interpret history and the historical and cultural context of fairy tales, as well as your ability to acknowledge that there were fairytales before the Grimms brothers, sometimes very close to the Grimms versions.
I wrote out a long response to this, but then I got to the point where you said, "utilizing fairy tales specifically to teach morals didn't really exist before Perrault," and realized that you don't even have a grasp on the basic function of fairy tales and it's not worth it. You misunderstand why folklore exists at its very roots. Every single sentence in that paragraph is wrong. The older oral versions were violent and sexual because they were for children. They used death and sex to catch children's interest, scare them a little, and teach them how to function in their specific culture and social groups. Underneath that there were messages like, "be kind but cautious of strangers," "take care of your siblings," "fathers shouldn't marry daughters so don't let your dad touch you," and "boys will try to get into your pants so be clever or end up pregnant." All of those lessons serve very specific cultural functions like building a strong and inclusive community, the value of family, not condoning incest or molestation, and avoiding unwanted pregnancy outside of wedlock. The sexual themes in particularly were there for children because it was a way to prepare them to deal with their expected gender rolls as adults and with the reality and consequences of sex as young adults. They were how children learned what was acceptable behavior in their culture, what was expected of them as they grow, and how to be valuable members of strong community. The morals and social function of a story wasn't an undertone, it was the entire point. The entertainment and enjoyment of the stories was created around it to make the lessons memorable and interesting to children. 18th and 19th century collectors like the Grimms then packaged up these stories for adults to sell them as interesting leftovers of a "barbaric" era. The sanitation (ie taking out the sex) of the stories came at the request of 18th and 19th century adults because they viewed the stories as inappropriate for their 18th and 19th century children. You seem perfectly capable of understanding that the Grimms' versions of the stories changed and were shaped to reflect the cultural norms of 18th century Germany, so why can't you grasp that the oral versions served the same purpose in their own cultures?
You can spout of story types until your blue in the face but until you realize that folklore serves a very specific social function, you don't actually understand folklore. I'm stunned that you can know so much about fairy tales and make that assertion.
It is also horrible misogynistic and flat out wrong to say that fairytales were solely told by women, for women and shows a really ignorant, narrow view of oral tradition as a whole. Many were that way, yes - stories from mothers to daughters or older women to younger women are probably the largest group and certainly the most popular modern retellings. But there's many more that were by women, for boys or by fathers, for sons. Off the top of my head the Dragon-Slayer story type is one specifically for boys. Just because the Grimms gathered many of their stories from women in early 1800s Germany does not mean then that all folklore comes from women. You seem caught up in the idea that folklore starts with the Grimms in 18th century Germany. You seem incapable to talking about any type of folklore that came before them. You accuse me of hating them (I don't, there's a difference between being hateful and being critical), but to you they can do no wrong, are free of bias, and are put on an untouchable, unquestionable pedestal.
You need to read Jack Zipes' "Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion" - it's folklore required reading and I'd be shocked if you hadn't come across it already. Bruno Bettleheim's "The Uses of Enchantment," is also a good source for information about the social use of stories. Although some of his theories are admittedly outdated since Freudian psychology is out of favor, they do form a large part our basis for understanding folklore on a scholarly level so he's an excellent starting point. As for the rampant misogyny and upped violence of the Grimms' tales - Andrea Dworkin's "Hating Women," Ruth Bottigheimer's "Grimms' Bad Girls and Bold Boys," and Patricia A. Watson's "Ancient Stepmothers." I'm also shocked that you read Maria Tartar's "The Hard Facts…" and didn't come out seeing how much violence towards women the Grimms added in. I find it impossible to believe that anyone could read that and not see how problematic the Grimms' editing and reconstruction of stories are, especially in regards to gender. Information about Wilhelm's near fanatical devotion to religion and how his personal views, not pressure from others, shaped his editing of the tales can be found in G. Ronald Murphy's "The Owl, The Raven, and the Dove." This is all pretty standard Folklore 101.
Because if you won't take my word about the social functions of folklore and the Grimms' deep-seeded misogyny, maybe you'll listen to some of our most well-respected scholars and folklorists.
Frankly I'm completely stunned that you seem to be able to misinterpret my words so much, and delude yourself into what you think I seem to be saying.
Uh, no. There are several several sources that specifically say that it wasn't until the 18th and 19th centuries that fairytales were watered down for children.
I mean, straight from the "Fairy Tale" Wiki (with the sources that the assertions are from linked afterwards):
In the 1630s, apathetic women began to gather in their own living rooms, salons, in order to discuss the topics of their choice: arts and letters, politics, and social matters of immediate concern to the women of their class: marriage, love, financial and physical independence, and access to education. This was a time when women were barred from receiving a formal education. Some of the most gifted women writers of the period came out of these early salons (such as Madeleine de Scudéry and Madame de Lafayette), which encouraged women's independence and pushed against the gender barriers that defined their lives. The salonnières argued particularly for love and intellectual compatibility between the sexes, opposing the system of arranged marriages.
Sometime in the middle of the 17th century, a passion for the conversational parlour game based on the plots of old folk tales swept through the salons. Each salonnière was called upon to retell an old tale or rework an old theme, spinning clever new stories that not only showcased verbal agility and imagination, but also slyly commented on the conditions of aristocratic life. Great emphasis was placed on a mode of delivery that seemed natural and spontaneous The decorative language of the fairy tales served an important function … disguising the rebellious subtext of the stories and sliding them past the court censors. Critiques of court life (and even of the king) were embedded in extravagant tales and in dark, sharply dystopian ones. Not surprisingly, the tales by women often featured young (but clever) aristocratic girls whose lives were controlled by the arbitrary whims of fathers, kings, and elderly wicked fairies … as well as tales in which groups of wise fairies (i.e., intelligent, independent women) stepped in and put all to rights.
Originally, adults were the audience of a fairy tale just as often as children. Literary fairy tales appeared in works intended for adults, but in the 19th and 20th centuries the fairy tale became associated with children's literature.
The précieuses, including Madame d'Aulnoy, intended their works for adults, but regarded their source as the tales that servants, or other women of lower class, would tell to children. Indeed, a novel of that time, depicting a countess's suitor offering to tell such a tale, has the countess exclaim that she loves fairy tales as if she were still a child. Among the latecieuses, Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont redacted a version of Beauty and the Beast for children, and it is her tale that is best known today. The Brothers Grimm titled their collection Children's and Household Tales and rewrote their tales after complaints that they were not suitable for children. In the modern era, fairy tales were altered so that they could be read to children.
Links on fairy tales' main audience were adults until the 18th/19th century, and two of the History of Literary Fairy Tales (the second one focusing on France). Zipes acknowledged this, and since you seem to worship him (he's very good, I freely admit. I like him a lot), so I'm not sure why you're denying it. I'm not saying that children weren't IN the audience. I'm saying they weren't the MAIN audience (until the 19th century). You seem completely incapable of acknowledging this.
And many of those sexual themes were EDITED OUT OF THE TALES when their main audience shifted to being children. THAT'S all the editing that happened. All of the sexual and "immoral" themes (cannibalism, incest, etc) WERE EDITED OUT once they became "children's tales. Stop being a history revisionist and saying that all of those themes were put in there specifically for children when you know very well that's what got edited out as the stories were sanitized for children's consumption. See "The Reception of Grimms Fairy Tales: Responses, Reactions, Revisions" by Donald Haase.
And I'm sorry, but I can't hear you over the articles and books on how fairy tales got appropriated specifically to tell moral tales when they were previously chiefly for entertainment. "Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables."
"…until you realize that folklore serves a very specific social function, you don't actually understand folklore. I'm stunned that you can know so much about fairy tales and make that assertion." Yeah…ENTERTAINMENT. You do know what folklore is, don't you? It's legends, music, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, fairy tales, stories, tall tales, and customs included in the traditions of a culture, subculture, or group. The main purpose of folklore is ENTERTAINMENT. Frankly, I have no idea why you can't come to that conclusion yourself. Moral lessons and cautionary themes can be embedded in that framework (and often are post-Basile), but it is not the POINT of folklore and fairy tales. The point is to entertain their audience.
And by contrast, I am acknowledging that the vast majority of these tales were shaped and told by women, and simply written down or collected by men. I am unsure how this is misogynist, as it should be the very opposite (by acknowledging women's roles), because so many of the women were shunted aside and lost in history with the Fairy Tale Movement. There is an extremely long tradition of women telling and passing down these stories (or actually coming up with them in the first place, as we see with women like Mme. d'Aulnoy). Of course men are in there, but acknowledging that women were a HUGE part of this tradition, both orally and in the literary world, is like the exact opposite of misogynistic? I'm not really sure you know what the word means.
"You seem caught up in the idea that folklore starts with the Grimms in 18th century Germany. You seem incapable to talking about any type of folklore that came before them." Uh…no I don't? I've spent literally the entire time talking about fairy tales other than Grimms and the various variants that predate their tales. On the contrary, it's YOU who can't seem to get the idea that there were tales pre-Grimms. And no, I don't put them on a pedestal, and I freely acknowledge that they changed the tales and sanitized them? Like literally nothing you are saying right now makes any sense.
I've already expressed my contempt of Andrea Dworkin and her view on fairy tales in other posts (in part because she couldn't seem to get it through her head that fairy tales were not the root of all evil). AND I ALREADY FREELY ADMITTED THAT THE GRIMMS BROTHERS UPPED THE VIOLENCE IN THE STORIES. I also already talked about WHY they did that. Like I am seriously questioning your reading comprehension skills at this point.
And again, you seem to believe that violence against women was a Grimms only thing, when I specifically pointed out the massive amounts of violence against women and women committing violence in tales from around the world and predating the Grimms by centuries. If you really want some links to these stories, many of them are included here.
And you seem to think that the Brothers Grimm were the only ones whose tales were misogynistic in ways (and you're completely ignoring the tales of female empowerment that go hand in hand with the more misogynistic tales)…you know, disregarding that there are several collections of tales that PREDATE THEM that had THE EXACT SAME THEMES. I give you Basile, Boccaccio, Straparola, and Perrault. I also hand you Madames d'Aulnoy and Beaumont. THE GRIMMS TALES DID NOT COME OUT OF NOWHERE. Your absolute refusal to acknowledge these writers and collectors has me completely perplexed and wondering how much you actually understand about the fairy tales you insist you are an expert on.

Brown Canada Showcase
Sharing Our Stories: Creating New Legacies
Wednesday June 27th, 2012
5:30–9:00 p.m
Grace Church
41 Britain Street, Toronto (east of Queen station)
Dinner served from 5:30-6:30 pm.
Program starts at 6:30 pm, sharp.
This is a Free Event, but space is limited; please RSVP before June 25th at eventbrite or by contacting email@example.com or 416 932 1359 x14.
CASSA's Brown Canada team proudly invites you to our project's Showcase, an Informative and entertaining event featuring:
· The premiere of the original play "Oh Canada, Oh Komagata Maru!"
· A screening of the Brown Canada DVD
· The "Our Stories, Our Histories" South Asian history exhibit
· An interactive discussion about Racialized & Indigenous histories
· A free resource booklet on South Asian histories in Canada
Visit www.browncanada.ca for more info & to share your story online!
The Brown Canada Theatre Project will be presenting "Oh Canada, Oh Komagata Maru!" a series of vignettes written and directed by Alia Somani. "Oh Canada, Oh Komagata Maru!" is about one of the least known yet most significant episodes in the history of Canada. What is called the Komagata Maru incident took place in 1914, when a group of 376 Punjabi migrants aboard a Japanese ship – the Komagata Maru – was turned away from Canada's western seaboard and refused entry into the country. The Komagata Maru incident may have occurred almost 100 years ago, but it has not been forgotten. Instead it continues to haunt us, to reverberate in our nation's consciousness. In fact, in 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper stood up in Bear Creek Park and declared that on behalf of Canada, he was sorry for the events of 1914. "Oh Canada, Oh Komagata Maru!" explores, among other things, this apology; it considers how much of our past is remembered and how much still remains buried; and most importantly, it asks us to relive the experiences of those who traveled to Canada in 1914 in search of a better life, and a better future.

The Oakland Raiders would save roughly $6 million by releasing quarterback Carson Palmer, according to the Bay Area News Group, as his salary cap number would drop from $15.335 million to $9.34 million.
A report yesterday suggested that it is "highly unlikely" that Palmer would agree to restructure his contract for next season.
Palmer is set to make $13 million next season, and he will probably need to take a pay cut similar to that of Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.
Vick, who was owed $15.5 million in 2013, inked a deal with the Eagles that could make him up to $10 million with a base salary of $7.5 million, a fairly large slash in salary.
If Palmer does not take the pay cut, the Raiders will cut him and turn to Terrelle Pryor as their starting quarterback.
In a recent email exchange with CSNBayArea, Palmer wrote, "Not sure what's going to happen.Would love to be back in Oakland and compete."
The veteran quarterback was traded to the Raiders midway through the 2011 season after an injury to Jason Campbell. Since then Palmer has been the starter for the Silver and Black.
In 15 games last season, he threw for over 4,000 yards, 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions with a quarterback rating of 85.3. Palmer was severely handicapped, as injuries hampered most of his offensive weapons downfield, his running back, and his offensive line.
