text: Of all the inventions of the 20th century, the telephone is arguably, one of the greats. This seemingly simple device has allowed people to keep in touch with family and friends without even leaving home. And with the help of science and technology, they can even talk to others from across the globe. But alas, not all has gone well for Sir Alexander Graham Bell's invention. While you've got close family ties and "newly established phone friends" on one side, the flip side reveals obscene phone callers or equally horrific, people who are legit but don't know proper telephone etiquette. Some people, for instance, tend to bring their "everyday conversation manners" to their business calls. A call center agent should avoid using expressions like "uh" when speaking to a caller. You must likewise avoid finishing a sentence with a question; it shows you're unsure of yourself or worse, your product/service. Another thing to remember is that you're engaged in a conversation. This involves listening to the other person, and thus, you must respond accordingly. It's okay to get your message across. But you should also let the other person convey theirs as well. Finally, keep it short and get straight to the point. Don't beat around the bush, as this gives the impression that you don't know what you're doing. Simply put, make the most of that tool on hand—the telephone – to handle your order taking services, help desk call center or inbound customer support. It can do wonders, like bring in clients. So make sir Alexander Graham Bell proud.

I am happy when I eat fresh fruit, when I burst out laughing, when I discover a new song, when I finish a good book, when I wake up and feel relaxed. I'm glad to have friends, family, a home, food when I'm hungry, hot water when I shower. I love being able to live and see the seasons change, to have gifts at Christmas and at my birthday, to travel sometimes, to have a good education and a great access to culture. I'm flattered when people compliment me, when people smile at me, when people are polite to me. There are so many things that make life so simple and easy and I will always think about them more than all the bad things that will happen to me. I do not have time to be sad every day and ungrateful; I have every reason in the world to be happy.

He may still love you. He probably does. He probably doesn't know what he wants. He probably still thinks about you all the time. But that isn't what matters. What matters is what he's doing about it, and what he's doing about it is nothing. And if he's doing nothing, you most certainly shouldn't do anything. You need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life.

The Album dun Voyageur is the first important published collection of Liszts early maturity and, although much of the collection was to be revised and the rest unaccountably discarded, it remains a significant body of work because of its daring originality and for setting the scene for much of Liszts creative process in its mixture of original works, transcriptions and fantasies, and with its incorporation of folk-music material or other composers themes.
Liszts inner necessity to arrive at new forms during the actual procedure of composition and through the transformation of themes, rather than by a conscious decision to adopt a standard form at the outset, is a characteristic of his entire lifes work. The very few pieces, outside simple dances and marches, where a standard formal structure is identified in his titles transpire to be a good deal more original in form than those titles might suggest. One need look no further than the Faust and Dante Symphonies, the Sonata or the Weinen, Klagen Variations for confirmation. Of course this does not mean than Liszts approach to form is haphazard, but that it must be considered quite differently from the classical moulds which he eschewed. This open form, as Alfred Brendel so aptly defines it (in Musical Thoughts and Afterthoughts) is found from the beginning in the three Apparitions, in the early single piece entitled Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, and in the whole of the Album dun voyageur.
The travelling to which the title of the collection alludes concerns the period beginning with the flight of Liszt and the Countess Marie dAgoult from Paris and their sojourn in Switzerland. This notorious liaison with a married member of the French aristocracy necessitated the journey, and Maries subsequent pregnancies and the births of Blandine, Cosima and Daniel prolonged it. Liszt was a combination of touring artist and artistic vagabond for almost a decade. Then, as throughout his later life, excepting the twelve years when he was Kapellmeister in Weimar, he was of no fixed abode, and indeed he never owned nor rented any permanent accommodation. To begin with, the travel was an intimate retreat with Marie, who was determined to develop his reading and his literary skills. It is at this time that the flow of musical journalism from Liszts pen begins (with some assistance from Marie, in all likelihood), and it is also the time when Liszt is finally able to marshall his creative thoughts. The plans for the Album dun voyageur went through many permutations, and the final published version in three volumeswhich is the basic text employed for the present recordinghas a preface which speaks of future plans. To complicate matters further, different editions gave different titles to various parts of the work, one even employing the title Années de pèlerinage, and the early Hungarian works were intended to be a continuation of the series. But to facilitate reference, the works are now always referred to under the titles and numbering utilized here.
We must beg to differ with Liszts typically harsh judgement of his own work; as is well known, this collection forms the basis for all but two of the later collection: Première Année de pèlerinageSuisse and Liszt sought to suppress the earlier collection, even to the extent of buying up the original plates of some of the publications. There are many reasons why the original collection ought to be preserved, however. The pieces which correspond to the later collection have many interesting features absent in their revisions; some of the shorter works which were later passed over are absolutely delightful, and have an innocent joy which is quite a rare feature in Liszts secular works; at least one early masterpiece, Lyon, demands to be known, and indeed may only have been dropped because its reference is outside the Swiss border; and in any case the third part of the earlier collection turns up in a revised version as late as 1877 under the title Trois Morceaux suisses, so Liszt may have had a partial change of heart.
The first part of the collection, Impressions et poésies, is by far the most important, and was deliberately designed to be so. In his rather florid preface, Liszt indicated that the subsequent parts would be filled with lighter folk material (although, at that stage, he envisaged that material as representing a great many countries) and that the poetic ideal to which he aspired was for the enjoyment of the few rather than the many. The set begins with a piece composed in 1834, inspired by a workers uprising in Lyon, dedicated to Liszts mentor, the Abbé Félicité de Lammenais, and prefaced with the workers slogan: Vivre en travaillant ou mourir en combattant (Live working or die fighting). Cast as a powerful, orchestral-sounding march, the work is very tightly constructed from an introductory fanfare figure and a more extended melody which share a martial dotted rhythm. The climax is particularly noteworthy for anticipating by some twenty years the sleep motif from the closing scene of Wagners Die Walküre.
Most of the remaining music was composed in Geneva between 1835 and 1836. Le Lac de Wallenstadt is very little different from its revised version, and similarly carries a quotation from Byrons Childe Harold: thy contrasted lake warns me, with its stillness, to for sake / Earths troubled waters for a purer spring. A rhythmic ostinato of a triplet and two duplets accompanies the most innocent of melodies. With no change of key or subject matter, Au bord dune source follows immediately. The poem from Schiller describes the spring as the beginning of the play of young nature. It must be admitted that this first version of one of Liszts loveliest water pieces contains many technical complications which were more delicately resolved in the revision.
Les cloches de G***** (why did Liszt wish to conceal the name of Geneva?at any rate, he revealed it in the revised version) is dedicated to Liszts baby daughter Blandine and is an extended nature poem. In the revised version Liszt retained only a brief portion of the work and added a new second section. In this original version, the work develops its material more fully, and a subsidiary theme, discarded in the second version, rises to a passionate climax before the evening calm is restored with filigree decoration.
Vallée dObermann was inspired by a novel by its dedicatee Senancourt rather than by any specific Swiss scene. Although the later version is generally regarded as one of Liszts finest works, the original, too, is full of interest. The thematic material is broadly the same, and some of the structure is similar, but other events are distributed in a different order and several passages take on an unfamiliar harmonic hue. Liszt quotes a very lengthy piece of the novel describing the character of alpine scenery and folk music. Although this particular piece contains only original themes, many of the later pieces might be embraced by the same preface.
La chapelle de Guillaume Tell certainly contains the call of an alpenhorn, but its main theme was taken over from an unpublished and discarded Grand solo caractéristique dapropos une chansonette de Panséron, the manuscript of which was sighted at an auction at Sothebys in London in 1987, but whose present whereabouts are unknown. The later version, which shares the grandeur of the first, dispenses with the horn call, but has then to do without the excellent coda which derives from it.
The first book comes to a simple conclusion with Psaumede léglise à Génèvean elaboration of a melody by Louis Bourgeois (c1510c1561) prefaced with the opening of Psalm 42: Comme un cerf brame après des eaux courantes (As the hart panteth after the water-brooks ). Like Lyon, this piece was excluded from the revised collection.
The disarming simplicity of the nine pieces entitled Fleurs mélodiques des Alpes is often contradicted by deceptively difficult piano-writing, which may explain their almost total neglectfor there is much here that deserves a more frequent hearing. (Only two of these pieces were preserved for the Années de pèlerinage.) As so often with Liszt, there is no fine line drawn between an anonymous folk melody and a theme borrowed from a popular art song of the day, and these pieces seem all to be based on external sources, only some of which have been identifiedas folk songs, horn calls and the like, and Nos 5 and 8 are based on melodies by Huber. The first group of three begins with a piece in simple ternary form, but the second is a complex kaleidoscope of melodies, later revised and combined with the second theme of the Fantaisie romantique to form Le mal du pays (Nostalgia), while the third became Pastorale in its less rhythmically daring revision. The opening number of the second group starts with a horn call and a simple melody, but the fast middle section is a mysterious march with distinctly Hungarian overtones. Then follow a piece heavily relying upon the tremolo for a rather operatic effect and another folk-song medley which for some reason contains a polonaise. The third group opens with a martial Allegretto which alternates with more fragile themes in triple time. The penultimate piece derives entirely from a horn call. The last piece is perhaps the most interesting: if some of the material is Swiss, a lot of the atmosphere is Hungarian, and some of the raw harmony brings to mind the Liszt of almost half a century later.
The three paraphrases which make up the third book were actually issued separately before the collection was finally put into shape for publication at the end of the 1830s. The text followed here is that of the Liszt-Stiftung, which represents Liszts final thoughts (on these first versions: the 1877 revisions, Trois Morceaux suisses, will be recorded elsewhere). Except that the themes derive from Swiss art songs by forgotten minor composersFerdinand Huber (17911863) and Ernest Knop (d1850), the style and construction of the set bears comparison with some of the longer operatic fantasies. There is a certain amount of confusion over the titles of these pieces, which went through several editions, each of which made its own changes; the titles given here conform to Haslingers first edition of the complete Album dun voyageur. The catalogue in Groves Dictionary makes a curious mish-mash of several variants, the revised versions have revised titles, and the London edition even called the pieces Zürich, Berne and Lucerne! When the pieces were published separately as Opus 10, the titles were: Improvisata sur le ranz de vaches: Départ pour les Alpes (Aufzug auf die Alp) [which should read Alpen here and elsewhere] de Ferd Huber; Nocturne sur le Chant montagnard (Bergliedchen) dErnest Knop; and Rondeau sur le Ranz de chèvre (Giessreihen) de Ferd Huber. In the Ranz de vaches, the opening fanfare becomes a melody subjected to much variation, and interspersed with two other melodies and their variants, the one in a martial 2/4, the other in a frenetic 6/8by now a long way removed from the cattle-call of the title. Un soir dans les montagnes is a beautifully developed song interrupted by a colossal storm, which invokes all the musical tricks of the day (especially reminiscent of the then brand new Rossini opera Guillaume Tell) before the opening music returns. Like the first paraphrase, the third submits a simple motif to great variation, and, although goats may well move faster than cattle, their call is pushed to the very extreme of musical velocity.
The Fantaisie romantique dates from the same period as much of the Album dun voyageur, and is similar in style to the Fleurs mélodiques but at a much extended length. The opening section is based on the four-note motif heard in the first bar and a plaintive cow-call after the first upward flourish. The cow-call is transformed into a pastoral Allegretto, and a second flourish leads to the first theme proper. This theme eventually recalls the four-note motif. The second theme, marked La nostalgieMal du pays (which does not come from No 7b of the Fleurs mélodiques, pace Humphrey Searle) is stated in octaves with repeated chordal accompaniment. Thereafter, all the material is subjected to very free, improvisatory development, exploiting a wide range of colours. Of course this is all a bit wild and rambling, but the sheer originality of the piece quietens academic criticism.
The remaining pieces are as obscure and rare as the themes upon which they are based, and Serge Gut and Michael Short are gratefully acknowledged for contributions from their research. The works were published together in 1845 and they both seem to be folk-song based. Faribolo pastour (Pastoral Whimsy) is the title of a song by Jacques Jasmin (17981864) who wrote the dialect poem Françouneto in 1840 and may have invented the melody himself or else adapted it from a folk song. Liszt met Jasmin whilst touring at Agen in September 1844 and improvised upon Jasmins romance. Jasmin returned the compliment with an improvised poem which was later published with a dedication to Liszt. The Chanson du Béarn is a Béarnaise folk song La haût sus las mountagnes (High up on the mountains). On the first page of the music, the title is given as Pastorale du Béarn. (Both works were reprinted by the British Liszt Society in their 1991 Journal.) The first, a ballad with the most wistful harmonization, is treated to variations in the manner of many of Liszts song transcriptions, and the second is given just one variation, with an optional codafull of tremolos and new harmonywhich is much too good to be omitted.

Atlanta is referred to sometimes as Hotlanta, but Tuesday a winter weather event blew through town, transforming Hotlanta into Snowlanta.
Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman found himself stuck smack dab in the middle of this freakish weather emergency and might have experienced a chilly end had it not been for the heroic actions of a certain legendary former Atlanta third baseman.
The story begins when Freeman finds himself stranded in a snow-related traffic snarl. Following standard 2014 emergency procedures, Freeman puts down his cup of disgusting gas station coffee and tweets with annoyance about the situation.
Going on 5 and a half hours in this traffic! Atlanta traffic is the worst but then you add snow…woah!!
— Freddie Freeman (@FreddieFreeman5) January 28, 2014
Thankfully the retired Chipper Jones has nothing better to do than sit around all day on Twitter, waiting for people to call him overrated so he can rip them a new one. Chipper reads Freddie's distress tweet. Like an old, pudgy Batman, he throws on the camo, fires up the all-terrain vehicle and motors out to rescue the stranded ballplayer.
They made it home safe and sound! #thankful @RealCJ10 @FreddieFreeman5 pic.twitter.com/KBO59VL1HU

Chipper Jones, man's man, hero's hero.
Now we need to address the way people in the southern part of our nation respond to minor snow events. Calm down people it's just a little snow! You'll make it through your day okay just give yourself a little extra time to get to your destination! Is this complicated?
Chipper Jones is evidently the only person in the entire Atlanta metro area who knows how to deal with snow. And that's sad.

Good to hit up the other library. Different places will have things they're receptive to (being run by different people and all). It's sometimes hard to relate to an issue if you don't see it directly in your life. Annika's classes will be a great audience for transplant education, as everyone will relate to it because they know Annika. Of course, that also puts Annika on the spot.
Just being you and sharing with the world helps with education. I feel closer to transplant issues than ever before, simply because of this blog. I'm on the marrow donor list, but have never been exposed to the personal side of the experience before.
- Bettie Bookish said...
I am so glad you found my blog, because now I've found yours. Amazing stuff. Thank you.
- said...
Awww Moreena - I hope Ani never has to feel strange or excluded because of her transplant. Wouldn't it be great if people could see what a wonderful thing this is - to be able to give the gift of life to someone? Honestly, I just can't imagine some looking at it as if's wrong or unnatural. Some people are so ignorant!
I have a close friend who received a kidney transplant. I thank God that she was allowed this second chance at life - a chance to live a pretty normal life - raising her two boys. I am also thankful for the selfless family who allowed their loved-one's organs to be donated. I hope they take comfort in knowing how many benefitted from their son's donations.
I hope you have better luck at the other library!
- Jay said...
I hope you have more success at the other library. Kids need to be informed of this and other important issues from a young age.
- Phantom Scribbler said...
Good luck at the other library, Moreena. I'm reminded of a high school friend who was too ashamed of battling serious illness to ever talk to her friends about it. To this day I don't know what illness she suffers from, though she eventually had a liver transplant.
But I bet anything that my friend internalized the disease-as-taboo idea from her parents. Your willingness to discuss the issue in the community assures that Annika will never have to deal with that, no matter what questions she may someday get at school.
- Laurie said...
Don't give up! I'm doing a radio interview that will air during a "family morning commute" time, and I'm giving a speech the following week to high schoolers about organ donation. Going to the library is a GREAT idea! Keep at them about this!
- PPB said...
Good move to try the other library. They just might need to hear it a lot before they believe it's real. I'm also thrilled that blogger comments are again working!! woohoo!! I just might post 8 times todayin celebration!
- Sarahlynn said...
How did it go at the other library?
Helping Ellie to be proud of her scars is something I think will be hard to do in this culture . . . Clearly you're doing a wonderful just with Annika.
- Yankee T said...
Be strong and keep trying. Organ donation should be a fact of life now, not an oddity. What you are doing, or want to do is important and valid and not too scary at all. Children are the best audience for these issues because they can make them part of their lives before they close off any little sections of their minds. Persevere with your bloggy friends behind you!
- angela marie said...
Keep trying Moreena.
There still is a stigma attached to it, I think, and I can't figure out exactly why. The more we talk about it, the better.

Ninety per cent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves -- so how can we know anyone else?Sydney J. Harris
As I was writing about Grace Marks, and about her interlude in the Asylum, I came to see her in context the context of other people's opinions, both the popular images of madness and the scientific explanations for it available at the time. A lot of what was believed and said on the subject appears like sheer lunacy to us now. But we shouldn't be too arrogant how many of our own theories will look silly when those who follow us have come up with something better? But whatever the scientists may come up with, writers and artists will continue to portray altered mental states, simply because few aspects of our nature fascinate people so much. The so-called mad person will always represent a possible future for every member of the audience who knows when such a malady may strike? When "mad," at least in literature, you aren't yourself; you take on another self, a self that is either not you at all, or a truer, more elemental one than the person you're used to seeing in the mirror. You're in danger of becoming, in Shakespeare's works, a mere picture or beast, and in Susanna Moodie's words, a mere machine; or else you may become an inspired prophet, a truth-sayer, a shaman, one who oversteps the boundaries of the ordinarily visible and audible, and also, and especially, the ordinarily sayable. Portraying this process is deep power for the artist, partly because it's a little too close to the process of artistic creation itself, and partly because the prospect of losing our self and being taken over by another, unfamiliar self is one of our deepest human fears.Margaret Eleanor Atwood
Return, O Power of the Pentecost, return to Thy people! Shed down Thy flame on many heads! To us, as to our fathers and to those of the old time before them, give fullness of grace! Without Thee we can do nothing; but filled with the Holy Ghost, the excellency of the power will be of Thee, O God! and not of us.William Arthur
On the day of Pentecost Christianity faced the world, a new religion, without a history, without a priesthood, without a college, without a people, and without a patron. She had only her two sacraments and her tongue of fire. The latter was her sole instrument of aggression.William Arthur
The power of a movement lies in the fact that it can indeed change the habits of people. This change is not the result of force but of dedication, of moral persuasion.Steven Biko
There are people who worship God to gain His Favors, this is the worship of traders; while there are some who worship Him to keep themselves free from His Wrath, this is the worship of slaves; a few who obey Him out' of their sense of gratitude and obligations, this is the worship of free and noble men.Ali bin Abu-Talib

'Doubleheader' funeral service held for NY couple
Thursday - 2/21/2013, 3:10pm EST
CAMBRIDGE, N.Y. (AP) -- Norman Hendrickson was known for telling jokes and never wasting money. So when he died suddenly while en route to his wife's funeral, the couple's daughters knew there was only one thing to do: Hold a doubleheader service.
The 94-year-old World War II veteran's impromptu wake was held Saturday at the same eastern New York funeral home where his wife Gwen's funeral was already scheduled. She was 89 when she died on Feb. 8. After Norman died just steps from the funeral home, the daughters decided their parents would be mourned together at the same time.
The daughters said it was a fitting way to say goodbye to a couple who had been together since meeting in Europe during World War II and who had been married for nearly 66 years.
"After we had a little time to process the shock and horror, we felt we couldn't have written a more perfect script," Norma Howland told the Post-Star of Glens Falls (http://bit.ly/VL01Jx ). "My sister said the only thing he didn't do was fall into the casket."
Norman, a former assistant postmaster in Cambridge, 35 miles northeast of Albany, was being driven in a limousine to the Ackley and Ross Funeral Home for his wife's service when he stopped breathing. After the limo pulled up, funeral director Jim Gariepy, who is also the local coroner, and funeral home owner Elizabeth Nichols-Ross helped move Norman to the sidewalk outside the business.
Gariepy began CPR while Nichols-Ross and one Norman's sons-in-law raced across town to retrieve his do-not-resuscitate orders from the Hendricksons' refrigerator door. Once the orders were in hand, an emergency crew that had arrived ceased attempts to revive Norman. He died on the sidewalk.
Nichols-Ross said daughter Merrilyne Hendrickson then requested that her father's body be put into a casket and placed in the viewing room with her mother's cremated remains, which had been placed in an urn. Mourners who started arriving soon after for Gwen's funeral were greeted by a note Merrilyne posted at the entrance: "Surprise -- It's a double header -- Gwen and Norman Hendrickson -- Feb. 16, 2013."
Nichols-Ross said she didn't charge the family for Norman's wake. On his prayer card, she jokingly wrote that Hendrickson got the idea to die in the limo headed to the funeral so he could get "a buy-one-get-one-free deal."
"If it had happened with somebody else like this it would have been sad, but with Norm it wasn't," Nichols-Ross said. "It was just so much like Norm."
Norman was overseas with the U.S. Army when he met Gwen, who was serving in the British Royal Air Force. She immigrated to the U.S. and they were married in May 1947.
Howland said her parents had jokingly promised to never leave one spouse behind. After her mother died, Howland said she overheard her father say aloud, "We have had a good long life together. I love you. I'll miss you and watch for me."

Will Miami Dolphins be left in cold on Sunday? (Video, plus game pick)
- 8:00 pm Thursday, December 5th, 2013 by Post Staff
Hal Habib and CineSport's Noah Coslov talk about how the expected nasty weather might affect the Dolphins-Steelers game Sunday, how the Dolphins might fare against Ben Roethlisberger, and how Miami's playoff prospects stand.
Check out the video and Hal's game pick after the jump.
Talking Points: Jake Long doesn't seem interested in giving Miami Dolphins a hometown discount
- 9:31 am Wednesday, February 20th, 2013 by Post Staff
A trio of Dolphins Talking Points to jumpstart your Wednesday:
1. Jake Long doesn't seem interested in giving the Dolphins a hometown discount.
Long made more money than he could ever need before he played a snap in the NFL, signing a five year, $57 million contract in 2008 as the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.
And Long, an impending free agent when the new league year begins on March 12, seems like he wants to cash in again, particularly with the multitude of injuries he has suffered and the uncertainty surrounding how much longer he can last in the NFL. And if it means leaving the Dolphins, then so be it.
Thursday Morning talking points: Solomon Wilcots a Ryan Tannehill fan
- 10:26 am Thursday, November 8th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
1. Solomon Wilcots noticed that other rookie QB Sunday as well as Andrew Luck.
Spoke with Wilcots for a Sunday story and we talked about Sunday's Dolphins-Colts game and the battle between the two quarterbacks. While everyone was blown away by Andrew Luck's 433-yard passing performance, the CBS analyst who worked the telecast also had some good things to say about Ryan Tannehill.
"I'm always excited to see young quarterbacks early in their development," Wilcots said. "Going in, everyone thought there was a real chance Tannehill may not play due to his injury, but he stepped up.
"I like Tannehill. I wasn't too sure about it when they made that pick, but now I see why they did. They knew more about him than anyone else. The kid's got some real confidence about him, not to mention ability."
Brandon Marshall's Pro Bowl MVP performance makes a statement
- 11:41 am Monday, January 30th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
Brandon Marshall is all about making statements.
He made one last week when he told multiple media outlets at the Pro Bowl in Honolulu that he had spoken to free-agent-to-be Matt Flynn about joining him on the Dolphins.
He made another one Sunday when he caught six passes for 174 yards and a record four touchdowns on his way to earning MVP honors at the Pro Bowl.
And he made yet another afterward in praising the quarterbacks who had thrown to him in the game _ at the same time not-so-subtly criticizing the guys who have been throwing to him in Miami the last two years.
"Quarterbacks make it easier for me," Marshall said during a sideline interview during the game. "These guys are putting it in the right places and I'm making plays. It's easy right now." [More]
Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Players praise Tony Sparano for keeping team together, apologize for putting him on the hot seat
- 10:08 am Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011 by Post Staff
A trio of Dolphins Talking Points to kickstart your Tuesday:
1. Players praise Tony Sparano for keeping team together, apologize for putting him on the hot seat.
The Dolphins' season easily could have spiraled out of control after the 0-7 start. It would be natural that the players start pointing fingers at each other, tune out their coaches and not give full effort in order to save their bodies from injury.
But they didn't. The Dolphins are now 3-7, are playing physical, punishing football and are a dangerous team that no one wants to face down the stretch.
And the players are quick to credit Sparano for keeping the locker room together.
"There would be times when, personally, I'd walk in and be dreading it," receiver Brian Hartline said Monday as the team prepared for Thursday's game at Dallas. "Then after the team meeting and coach Sparano spoke, it changed my complete view on my day and how I approached that day. So absolutely, (keeping the players focused) has everything to do with coach Sparano. He's done a great job of keeping us together."
NFL proposes change to instant replay system and two major rules changes to decrease injuries and dangerous play
- 8:28 am Thursday, March 17th, 2011 by Post Staff
The NFL Competition Committee isn't proposing many changes to the league's rules for the 2011 season (whenever that occurs). But it is proposing one major change to the instant replace system, and two significant rule changes to address the hot-button issue of player safety, namely concussions.
The three proposed rules changes, which will be voted upon next week at the NFL Owners Meetings in New Orleans, are:
Cam Wake's Pro Bowl nod underscores Jeff Ireland's draft-day decision
- 1:50 pm Sunday, January 30th, 2011 by Brian Biggane
With Cameron Wake playing in the Pro Bowl tonight and Clay Matthews measuring up to be one of the Green Bay Packers' budding defensive stars in next week's Super Bowl, it's a good time to look back at what might have been when the Dolphins had the opportunity to have both players on their roster back in April 2009.
Wake was coming off back-to-back seasons at CFL Defensive Player of the Year with the B.C. Lions in 2007 and 2008 when about a dozen teams showed an interest in signing him in the 2009 offseason. While he hasn't offered one specific reason why he chose Miami, he's hinted that Bill Parcells was one of the attractions when he signed with the Dolphins on Jan. 19, 2009. [More]
Final four QBs prove lower picks sometimes pay best dividends
- 2:59 pm Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 by Brian Biggane
You have to go all the way back to (drum roll, please) Dan Marino in 1983 since the Dolphins have taken a quarterback in the first round, but considering there's no bigger need on the roster this year, it's a good bet GM Jeff Ireland and coach Tony Sparano will be leaning that way when their turn comes with the 15th pick in the NFL Draft in late April.
A look at the four quarterbacks in the two conference championship games this weekend offers hope they might finally find their franchise guy this year.
Yes, Mark Sanchez would be out of the Dolphins' grasp barring a trade up, having gone fifth overall in 2009. But Sanchez is the least accomplished of the four starting QBs in the two games. [More]
Chad Henne can point to Packers' win as highlight of a poor season
- 12:56 pm Sunday, January 16th, 2011 by Brian Biggane
When you look back on the Dolphins' 2010 season – especially now, with the playoffs winding down and a handful of superior teams emerging – it's hard to argue with the idea that their 23-20 overtime win at Green Bay back in Week 6 was the most impressive of their seven victories.
And if Chad Henne wanted to put together a highlight reel of his second season as Miami's starter, that game would be featured prominently.
Henne was remarkably efficient that day, completing 23-of-39 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception. It was one of two games all season he wasn't sacked, though, to be fair, Packers sack specialist Clay Matthews sat out the game with a hamstring injury. The negative? He couldn't get the Dolphins into the end zone, leading just two TD drives as Miami settled for four Dan Carpenter field goals. [More]
Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Raiders' Seymour gets off easy
- 7:30 am Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 by Brian Biggane
Anyone watching when Oakland defensive tackle Richard Seymour landed a roundhouse punch to the face of Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger Sunday had to know Seymour would get more from the league than being ejected. That's where we start our talking points for Tuesday:
1. Seymour got off easy from the league and probably shouldn't be playing against Miami Sunday.
After the Steelers' James Harrison was hit with a $75,000 fine for a hit that was only borderline dirty, you had to expect more – and probably a lot more – for the shot Seymour delivered to Roethlisberger.
After all, as Harrison himself pointed out after the game, his hit was in the run of play, while Seymour's came long after a play was over, while Roethlisberger was celebrating a touchdown with his teammates.
So did Roethlisberger say something outrageous to trigger such an outrageous response? No word on that yet, but so what if he did. Players can't go around clocking opponents just because they take offense to something they said.

Two singletrack trails have been designed for cyclists looking for a more adventurous ride. The 3 mile red grade (difficult) Freeminer Trail and the 7 mile blue grade (moderate) Verderers' Trail.
For experienced riders only, there are a number of 'downhill' trails and an uplift service available, Flyupdownhill, for transport to the top of the slopes.
The bottom half of the Corkscrew Downhill trail is currently closed for trail development. Please use an alternative until this can be re-opened.
For the safety of walkers and wildlife, please keep all off-road mountain biking to the Sallowvallets MTB area behind the Cycle Centre. In the wider forest, you can explore using hard surfaced tracks, but please do not ride off-road or on waymarked walking trails.
As well as hiring bikes, Pedalabikeaway also offers refreshments, toilets and a bike workshop. Contact Pedalabikeaway on 01594 860065 for further details.
1 South West off-road cycling project
Recent trail and car park improvements have been developed in partnership with the 1 South West off road cycling project. 1 South West aims to create an off-road cycling region and provide information allowing people to enjoy adventurous off-road cycing and progress their riding with confidence.
Cycle Events
A number of cycle events are held on site each year. Parking may be limited on these days. Other events such as the Wyedean Car Rally (February) and Half Marathon (March) will affect the trails.

The skills sections by the road bridge and by the end/start of the more technical trails are great practice, especially for the children
5 StarsEileen Breen, 10/Aug/2014
What a great day. This was a smashing place to really get moving without fear of traffic. We did the family trail and found it the perfect amount of challenge.
It was a lovely sunny day so the car park was busy, but once we got on the trail we hardly saw anyone. Simply brilliant - a great day out and free except for car park. In my book that's good value as it usually costs lots to take children to special places. Loved the low tech atmosphere round the visitor centre, picnic tables, good loos and great coffee.

MTB trails were enjoyable, but nothing special. Paying ■3.50 to park wasn't at all enjoyable. Furthermore, being asked to wash my bike to prevent the spread of an arboreal disease, then charging me a pound to do it felt like something of a con.
Forestry Commission Response
The income from our car park charge goes towards maintenance of the facilities on site - signage, car park surfacing, showers, toilets, benches and most importantly trail checks and maintenance - we have invested thousands of pounds into new trails and maintenance of existing ones in the last few years. The bike wash is recommended but not compulsory.

Do You Have a Question for Evelyn Everlady?
There are few things I hate in this world more than unsolved mysteries. (SURE, EVEN, YES, WHERE IS THAT PLANE?) To that end, we have left you hanging regarding resolution of the tales of Evelyn Everlady, a woman in New York City who once had the worst boyfriend in the world ever, and who brought us the unfortunately now-real phrase Negroni Season. (As well as the tale of Hank the dog and the chilling story of Foxwoods.)
Next week she's going to bring us up to speed, answering all my questions—but also yours, if you like! If you have any questions for her, you can leave them here, or shoot them to email@example.com, and we will put them to her. I can tell you in advance that the terrible story of the worst boyfriend in the world… takes an even more terrible turn. Men! Can't execute them all, can't ban them from society entirely. Or can you.

Oh my God oh my God oh my God.
I'm so excited my typing fingers are locking up. That is all.
@Gef the Talking Mongoose MEEEEEEEEEE TOOOOOOOOO SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (especially because I HATE the New Internet and want to support any and all attempts to bring back the old one that I loved so much.)
@Maura Johnston I actually have one of those! (Because I'm trying to bring back the old internet, I guess?)
"Men! Can't execute them all, can't ban them from society entirely. Or can you.": I'd be okay with just phasing us out gradually – no need for anything abrupt or drastic.
@Ralph Haygood One of my bosses was a beekeeper. One late fall morning he went out to find that the females had kicked all the male drones out of the hive to conserve food over the winter. They were on the ground beneath the hive box, moving slowly and barely buzzing in the cold and he was like, "So that's what that'll be like."
Also: Yay! Evelyn!
"He was dead set on a chocolate Lab — bred from the same bloodline of his previous dog (he was very concerned about proper breeding and in this respect was very much like his mother, but that's another tale for another time) — and we had long debates on what we'd name it."
Is this another time?
Went back and read all these pieces again…so good.
Then I got all sad when I read the comments. Where did all these commenters go? I hope they are OK and leading exotic, exciting lives in places so fabulous, so remote that the internet can not reach them:)
@hockeymom : Mais ou sont les commenters d'antan, etc. etc.
@Gef the Talking Mongoose This, too, shall pass.
@hockeymom I miss HiredGoons's "*call me"-ing
Oh come the fuck on! Negroni Season is a real thing now? But only a total boozehound whore would even dream up such a thing as Negroni Season!

Abu Ghraib Prison Fantasy Camp
Posted by The Curator on Tue May 11, 2004
Something like this was inevitable, I suppose. It's the Abu Ghraib Iraqi Prison Fantasy Camp, situated in scenic Mountain Home, Idaho. I'm assuming this was inspired by Rush Limbaugh's recent comments about the torture scandal. According to the website: "Just want to 'blow off some steam' (as Rush Limbaugh so correctly put it)? Abu Ghraib Fantasy Camp is here for you! (actual opening date set for Summer '04). At Abu Ghraib Fantasy Camp... you'll find dozens of 'Iraqi prisoners' you'll be able to 'discipline.' Don't worry, they (and you) will be perfectly safe. Unlike in Iraq, we've taken every precaution to protect your safety." Update: It…

Draft Registration
Posted by The Curator on Sat May 08, 2004
According to this official looking website, the military is now readying for a general draft. But wow, they're sure asking some weird questions of draftees. For instance, under the Mental Fitness Pre-Screening section, they want to know if you suffer from "NPR listenerism." But wait a second. You guessed it. It's not really a military website, despite the official-sounding URL they managed to acquire. No, it's just another gimmick to sell some t-shirts. The site is pretty well-designed, however. It had me going for a second or two.
Fake Battle, Fake Casualties
Posted by The Curator on Fri May 07, 2004
The Indian Army has admitted that some battles fought last year high up on the Siachen Glacier north of Kashmir were completely fake. The reports of enemy casualties were made up, and the video footage of a Pakistani bunker being blown up was staged. The bunker actually had been built by Indian troops. The army officers apparently did all this in order to win awards for gallantry.
Micah Wright, Pseudo Army Ranger
Posted by The Curator on Sun May 02, 2004
Micah Wright is the author of You Back the Attack, We'll Bomb Who We Want, a satirical take on war propaganda. Publishers Weekly described him as a "former Army Ranger turned antiwar comic book artist." In an interview with the Washington Post in July, 2003 Wright elaborated at some length on his experience as an Army Ranger. Here's a quote from that article: He endured rigorous Ranger training, including capturing and eating a snake. He says he participated in classified combat missions in South and Central America, but can talk only about Operation Just Cause, the capture of Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega. (Or, as he calls it, "Operation Just Because.") Did he ever kill anyone? "That's one…

Updates from the War Against Terror
Posted by The Curator on Sun May 02, 2004
Here are a couple of news reports that are deeply disturbing on many different levels. First, a story from Macedonia where the police have admitted that seven Pakistani 'terrorists' they gunned down two years weren't terrorists at all. The seven men were actually completely innocent would-be immigrants who were lured to Macedonia with the promise of being granted access to Western Europe. The Macedonian police then killed them and created a phony story about how they were terrorists in order to win US support. Next, there were those photos of Iraqi prisoners being tortured by US soldiers that recently surfaced, prompting President Bush to remark how disgusted he was by what he saw. I haven't heard anything to…

Operation Take One for the Country
Posted by The Curator on Thu Apr 29, 2004
Operation Take One for the Country (or OTOFTC) has been getting a lot of publicity lately. It claims to be "a movement of like-minded women (women predominantly as of right now) who have covertly organized into groups to frequent eating and drinking establishments near armed service bases where troops are preparing to ship out overseas, and take one for the country, so to speak." In other words, they pick up soldiers in bars and sleep with them. This has been generating a lot of cries of hoax. For instance, Single Southern Guy notes that there's a transcript of a radio interview with two of the OTOFTC…

Soldier Picture Follow-Up
Posted by The Curator on Tue Apr 27, 2004
This is good. Some guy has created a program that lets you put whatever text you want on the sign held by those kids posing in the desert with an American soldier. Also, Salon.com recently had an article about this picture, although I didn't think it was a particularly well researched article. The author tried to argue that the new ease with which images can be manipulated somehow poses a dangerous threat. It contains statements such as: There was a time when photographs were synonymous with truth -- when you could be sure that what you saw in a picture actually occurred. Oh, really?…

Soldier Guy
Posted by The Curator on Thu Apr 15, 2004
About a month ago a photo began to circulate around the internet showing an American soldier posing with two Iraqi boys. One of the boys was holding up a sign that read, 'Lcpl Boudreaux killed my Dad, then he knocked up my sister!' Needless to say, the photo caused a lot of outrage. The Council on American-Islamic Relations complained to the Pentagon about it. And it received coverage in publications such as Islam Online. According to the Marine Corps Times, "Investigating officers have spoken with Boudreaux and are working to determine whether the claims on the sign are true and what, if any, charges to bring against him." In the meantime, a second,…

ID Sniper Rifle
Posted by The Curator on Mon Apr 12, 2004
The ID Sniper Rifle is a high-powered rifle, produced by Empire North, that supposedly can implant a GPS-microchip into a person, allowing the military to track them wherever they go in the world. Here's the description from Empire North's website: The microchip will enter the body and stay there, causing no internal damage, and only a very small amount of physical pain to the target. It will feel like a mosquito-bite lasting a fraction of a second. Given the low-tech feel of Empire North's website, I'd have to say this is a hoax. Plus, is it really possible to hit someone from a long-distance with a microchip and a) have the microchip survive the impact, and b) have the…
Coalition to Promote the Use of Child Soldiers

There are quite a few satirical hoaxes that I find myself comparing to Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal For Preventing The Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being A Burden to Their Parents or Country (by feeding them to rich people). The Arm the Homeless prank was one such satire. This is another. It's the Coalition to Promote the Use of Child Soldiers. Yeah, I'm assuming it's satire.

Nigerian Navy Recruitment Scam
Posted by The Curator on Mon Dec 08, 2003
Just when we had all gotten used to those Nigerian email scams that fill up our inboxes every day, the Nigerian criminal class has gone back to the drawing board and come up with an entirely new way to con people out of money: it's the Nigerian Navy Recruitment Scam. Nigerian fraud artists are circulating fake documents that appear to be recruitment forms for the Nigerian Navy. I'm at a loss to see how exactly they make money out of this, but I'm sure they have a way. Meanwhile, the real Nigerian navy has announced that it will begin circulating real recruitment forms sometime this month.

BRR's No. 23 Wisconsin at No. 20 Nebraska Preview
By: Josh Harvey
AP Preview: CLICK HERE
Know your foe: Nebraska CLICK HERE
A Husk to grind: CLICK HERE
Wisconsin Friday notes: CLICK HERE
Game Headlines:
* The Huskers look to start 1-0 in Big Ten Conference play.
* Nebraska will have one of the largest recruiting weekends in the Bo Pelini era.
* The Huskers will look to avenge a 48-17 loss in Madison last year - their first game in the Big Ten.
* Wisconsin's Montee Ball and Rex Burkhead were both 1st team All-Big Ten running backs a year ago.
Bo Pelini Thursday practice report:
This video is owned by the University of Nebraska. For more like it go to www.Huskers.com
Head Coach: Bret Bielema (7th season)
Defensively they are 86th in the country against the pass, which means Nebraska junior quarterback Taylor Martinez should be able to go through the air.
It's amusing to me how quickly analysts forget things. Most who have a problem with Nebraska will point to the UCLA game, but let's remember the Huskers were without senior All-Big Ten running back Rex Burkhead. While sophomore Ameer Abdullah played well, it's interesting to think how play calling might have been different in the fourth quarter with a healthy Burkhead. If Nebraska wins that game, the Huskers would be knocking on a spot in the Top Ten at the moment.
I don't really see this one being even this close, Wisconsin gets one late. The Badgers just don't have the weapons the Huskers do this year.
Big Red Report Prediction:
Getting to know Wisconsin
Q&A w/BadgerNation.com beat writer Ben Worgull (conducted Tuesday):
1.) After losing to Oregon State and playing Utah State close, do you feel the Badgers figured some things out against UTEP?
Worgull: "I guess? That's kind of the reaction from people around here because we know there's a big drop off in talent from Oregon State and Utah State to UTEP. Still, the Badgers establish a consistent run game for the first time, got improved play from the quarterback position with redshirt freshman Joel Stave in his first start and put up a season-high 37 points (cue Huskers' fans laughing at UW's ineptness) by finally moving the ball with some consistency.
The only problem was that the Badgers took steps back defensively, has issues in the kicking game and gave up a season-high 26 points to arguably the worst team on their non-conference schedule. Other than that, they are fine."
2.) Montee Ball goes down in that game, it's early, but what are the chances he plays against Nebraska?
Worgull: "I would say pretty high from the way Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema addressed the issue. Ball, like the rest of the team, was given Sunday off along with the usual off day Monday. He'll go through a concussion test today and I would expect he practices either today or Wednesday. Although I don't have a medical degree, it appeared Ball only received a slight concussion, as he stayed on the sideline throughout the game and was joking with teammates as he walked off the field."
3.) If he can't go, talk about the two-headed monster of James Whiteand Melvin Gordon? Is there really that much of a drop off?
Worgull: "Although Wisconsin's offense has a lot issues, the depth at tailback has never been a concern. White is a talented junior who was a 1,000-yard rusher and the conference's freshman of the year two seasons ago, but has fallen victim to the success of Ball. He's more of a speed back than Ball and has been patiently waiting his turn, responding with his first touchdowns since November 2011. Gordon was Wisconsin's big recruit two years and had last season cut short with a groin injury. The redshirt freshman has been impressing people since spring practices with his ability, speed and athleticism. He's still learning the nuisances of blocking and the playbook, but he will certainly get some carries whether Ball is in the game or not."
4.) Offensive line coach Mike Markuson was let go after just two games, how big of a surprise was that and how has the o-line responded?
Worgull: "It was a shock initially, as Bielema has only publicly fired one coach in his seven years and that came after his second season. In retrospect, the move made sense. Wisconsin's identity is its running game; a unit that churns out yards on the ground and sets up the play-action passing game with its effectiveness. In Wisconsin's first two games (a 26-21 victory over Northern Iowa and a 10-7 setback at Oregon State), the Badgers were unrecognizable and were held to 168 and 78 yards rushing, respectively. Against two programs where you have a distinct size advantage in the line, that's unacceptable.
"It was evident talking to the linemen that the frustration was mounting. Markuson spent 14 years in the SEC and while he has a wealth of experience, that knowledge came from years in the spread offenses. When he tried to apply some of the things he learned in spread offenses to Wisconsin's blocking techniques, it, according to one player, was a colossal failure. There were also issues with accountability and Markuson's family still living in Mississippi that contributed to the change.
"The o-line coach Bielema hired – graduate assistant Bart Miller – is a discipline of former offensive line coach Bob Bostad, having played and coached under the now current Tampa Bay Buccaneers OL coach. The players have embraced Miller and we've seen the line take small steps forward in the last two weeks to be a more physical unit. From the Utah State to the UTEP game, it was evident that there is improvement."
5.) Under Bielema, how Wisconsin traditionally done on the road and has there been a common theme in their play?
Worgull: "Now in his seven year, Bielema is 16-12 overall in true road games. In conference road games, Bielema is 12-12. Wisconsin is 1-5 in road Big Ten openers under Bielema. Against ranked teams, Wisconsin is 8-11 overall under Bielema, including 1-6 on the road against Big Ten teams under Bielema. Now you know why Wisconsin is double-digit underdogs for only the 13th time in 20 seasons. In case you were wondering, Wisconsin is 0-3 in those games under Bielema and 3-6 under Barry Alvarez."
6.) What did the Oregon State defense do to hold the Badgers to just 207 total yards?
Worgull: "Wisconsin was horrendous on third down, going only 2 of 14 on the 'money down' and those two conversions didn't come until late in the fourth quarter. Coincidentally, Wisconsin scored its only touchdown on that drive. Danny O'Brien, who transferred from Maryland in the summer and won the starting job in camp, created two bad turnovers, including a fumble in the redzone, that stalled drives. I already talked about the failed running game and the struggles of the offensive line (which gave up three sacks). Combine all of those things and it's not shocking to hear the Badgers only controlled the ball for 24:25. It literally was as bad of a performance as you could ever imagine."
7.) Defensively, how does this team feel coming out of non-conference?
Worgull: "Unsatisfied, especially after giving up 26 points to UTEP and going through its fourth straight game without creating a turnover. Big plays continue to plague this unit. Of the nine touchdowns the defense has given up theses season, six have been scored from over 20 yards. However, Wisconsin is starting to get better pressure on the quarterback from the defensive line, have held opponents to only a 29.2 percent success rate on third down and junior middle linebacker Chris Borland is coming off a fantastic game in which he finished with 12 tackles (3.5 for loss), two sacks and a pair of pass breakups. The Badgers have a lot of experience on defense and return a lot of the same players that shutdown Nebraska in Madison last season. Many of the players are under the impression that it's only a matter of time before they really break out."
8.) How do you think freshman quarterback Joel Stave did in his first start?
Worgull: "For the most part, he did what a Wisconsin quarterback is suppose to do and that's manage the game. In his first career start, Stave finished the game 12-of-17 for 210 yards a TD and an interception, becoming the fourth-straight Badgers quarterback to throw for 200 yards in his starting debut.
"Stave finished with a pass efficiency rating of 182.0, the fifth-best mark in a starting debut by a UW quarterback. With all that having been said, Stave did make the typical young mistakes, including telegraphing an out route that was easily intercepted that led to a field goal. Unlike last week where the debate was who was going to start, Bielema has already named Stave the starter, who calls a cool, confident person. We'll certainly find out if that's true this weekend when he'll certainly face more adversity."
9.) What is the key of the game for the Wisconsin offense and the Wisconsin defense?
Worgull: "Offensively, Wisconsin has to be able to run the ball and limit turnovers. If the Badgers can run the ball, it can open up different options and opportunities for the offense. If UW is held in check and forced to pass the ball, its chances of winning go way down. The Badgers turned the ball over twice last weekend and it led to nine points.
"Defensively, Wisconsin needs to eliminate the big play and respect outside containment. It wasn't Taylor Martinez, but the Badgers defended against a dual-threat quarterback in Utah State's Chuckie Keeton. Generally, Wisconsin has success against him, but lost outside containment on five occasions. It's the main reason Keeton passes for 181 yards and rushed for an additional 75. If the Badgers can keep Martinez in check and force some turnovers like they did last year, they might have a chance."
10.) Where do you think the Badgers might have a leg up?
Worgull: "To be completely honest, the only time I watched Nebraska play this season was in the third quarter of the UCLA game, so it's hard to accurately project where UW does and doesn't have advantages. I think both teams are comparable on defense and I think Nebraska has an edge at every offensive position besides tailback and tight end. Where I think the Badgers have an edge is the amount of adversity that they have faced this season. Unlike Nebraska, Wisconsin has been in four four-quarter games and found a way to win three of them. Heading into Lincoln, the Badgers will certainly be pushed unlike any environment they've already faced. Wisconsin has experienced a hostile environment in Corvallis and failed to respond. Hopefully that is a learning lesson to a young team on what he needs to do to overcome the issues that will certainly come up."
Prediction on star of the game?
I'm 3-1 on the season, after picking Jamal Turner last week. JT didn't come through for me, although I thought he was going to bust one or two on special teams.
This week I have to go with T-Magic. If you don't understand, just read the quote below.
