The House of Love is an English alternative rock band. Formed in 1986, the band rose to prominence in the UK as a leading indie rock band in 1988 and split up in 1993, eventually reforming a decade later in 2003. The band is best known for its detailed psychedelic guitar sound and for the successful singles "Shine On", "Christine" and "Destroy the Heart". The best-known members of The House of Love are singer/songwriter/guitarist Guy Chadwick and lead guitarist/backing singer Terry Bickers, who were the creative core of the original band until an acrimonious split in 1989 and who reformed the band together in 2003.

They take a dollar or two from each event and have a championship at the end of the year.
They break theirs out into Pro & Am divisions, because no Am in their right mind is going to pay to play against the Pros if they do not have a chance of winning.

While most of us are celebrating Mitt Romney's defeat in the streets by legally smoking marijuana and gay-marrying randomly-chosen passers-by, not everyone is quite so happy. And thanks to Twitter, we know about it. Vibrating bologna loaf Donald Trump, mistakenly believing that Romney won the popular vote, is calling for "revolution," — revolution! — while former SNL actress Victoria Jackson is sobbing and telling Christians that they "disgust" her. We've saved all of their most embarrassing (some already deleted) Tweets here:

JVCC Sure Step Anti-Slip Cleat is a high traction, anti-slip, waterproof, flexible cleat coated with an aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive. JVCC Sure-Step is used indoors or outdoors; on skateboards, ladders, walkways, steps, ramps and stairways; in machine shops and work areas. Helps comply with OSHA 1910.263(3).
Product will be sent rolled in packaging.
(1 to 9 cleats)

(50 to 99 cleats)
(>= 100 cleats)
* see individual cleat price to left
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
1 pound
ground turkey
1 large
onion, chopped
2 tablespoons
chili powder
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
1 teaspoon
dried oregano leaves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 3/4 cups
Swanson® Chicken Broth (regular, Natural Goodness™ or Certified Organic)
1 cup
Pace® Chunky Salsa
1 tablespoon
1 (15 ounce) can
black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 ounce) can
whole kernel corn, drained
I REALLY enjoyed this recipe. I did make a few changes though.
The turkey I bought was a little over a pound. I used 2 Tbs of olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I also included minced garlic (I STILL used the garlic powder though. I love garlic). I doubled the cumin and doubled the chili powder. Instead of the Pace Salsa, I used a can of crushed tomatoes and a can of diced tomatoes. And I didn't use the sugar.
It came out great!!
Ok I'm giving this 3 stars because it's just OK as written but I think it has a lot of potential. First of all it was way too sweet - I will definitely leave out the sugar next time. Also, it just seems to be really lacking something. I recommend adding lime juice, either to the whole batch or as an option at the table for individual servings.

This was good - I added stewed tomatoes, fresh garlic & celery - and served it over white rice, and topped with Cheese & Sour Cream!! I would make it again!
This recipe is absolutely fantastic. My small picky children loved it. I didn't have the broth so I used water and two chicken cubes instead.
This is a wonderful recipe.
I followed it as written and had wonderful results. The only thing I had to change was I used red kidney beans, instead of black. I only had the red beans, and the taste was still perfect.
Thanks for the great recipe!
This was really good! I made a few minor changes to accomodate our tastes: omitted onion, used fresh garlic instead of powder, upped the amount of cumin, and doubled the amount of chicken broth. Instead of salsa, I used 1 can of diced tomatoes w/ green chilis and 1 can of chili-ready tomatoes. Very good served with a little shredded cheese and dollop of sour cream. Thank you!
Was very tasty, though I felt it was a little runnier than I would have liked. I thickened it with a bit of cornstarch and all was good. Was very easy and quick to make. I made with corn muffins, and everyone ate it up!
Once again, my slow cooker came in handy for another soup recipe. I put the browned meat in with all the spices, beans and corn and cooked on low for about 8 hours. This was delicious. Terrific healthy chili!

Johnny Cash, renowned gospel DJ Bill "Hoss" Allen, '80s Christian rockers DeGarmo & Key and jubilee-style gospel group Golden Gate Quartet were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame on Monday night in a ceremony full of celebration but tinged with sadness over bygone greatness. The program by the Gospel Music Association was held at Trinity Music City in Hendersonville.
"As a child Johnny said to me, 'One day I'm going to be a singer, and I'm going to sing gospel music,' " said Cash's sister Joanne Cash at the start of the evening. "All our lives we were raised to love the Lord and sing gospel music. Tonight I believe he's watching us, and it would be one of the highlights of his life."
Trace Adkins delivered a ringing, convicted version of "Wayfaring Stranger" in tribute to Cash that earned him the longest standing ovation of the evening.
"When they said they wanted me to sing a song honoring Cash, how do you say no to that?" Adkins said earlier in the night. "I was so honored to do that. "
Eddie DeGarmo of DeGarmo & Key and Clyde Wright from the Golden Gate Quartet were on hand to accept their honors. But because many of this year's inductees are deceased, the celebrating was largely left to family members, music industry peers and the fans in the audience.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for Southern Maryland and surrounding counties Thursday afternoon, but discontinued the watch when severe weather did not enter the area as predicted.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are still predicted off and on through the remainder of the week and into next week.
In the event of a tornado watch, Charles County Emergency Services advises residents to have a preparedness plan in place and to seek shelter in an interior room or hallway on the ground floor of a structure.
A tornado watch means that conditions exist that may produce a tornado. Tornado warnings are issued after a tornado has been sighted in an area.
"We'll monitor the path of the storm and take precautions as necessary," Charles County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Diane Richardson said before the watch was discontinued.
After a tornado has passed, Emergency Services encourages residents to remain with friends and family, attend to injured individuals, and stay away from downed power lines and puddles that wires have fallen into.

Baseball Bucs to host Marist in season opener
Requires Adobe Flash
Friday, February 18, 2011
Click here for live stats
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 17, 2011)
â€" The ETSU baseball team is set to begin the 2011 season this Friday at 3:05 p.m. as the Bucs host Marist at Cardinal Park in a three-game series.
Game two of the series is slated for 2:05 p.m. Saturday, while first pitch of Sunday's contest will be at 1:05 p.m.
Marist is coming off of their second straight 30-win season, but will be missing their top two offense threats from a year ago. The Red Foxes hit .317 as a team in 2010 with 109 doubles and 31 home runs and also posted a team ERA of 5.96.
Fans are invited to take part in the different promotions this weekend at Cardinal Park. Saturday is Crazy Beanie Day. Any fans who wear a crazy toboggan will receive admission for only a Buc ($1). Sunday is "Used equipment day" with fans receiving admission for only a Buc ($1) with the donation of used baseball equipment to help benefit The Boys and Girls Club.
2011 Season Preview
A year after posting the most wins in school history since 1982, the 2011 Buccaneer baseball team is looking to claim its first conference championship under head coach Tony Skole. The Bucs are loaded returning nine starters and eight pitchers from last season including Atlantic Sun Player of the Year
Paul Hoilman
and All-Conference selections in
Derek Trent
Bo Reeder
. ETSU posted the best offensive numbers in the school's history in 2010, and even with the new bats the Bucs are looking to match those numbers with a potent lineup from top to bottom.
The Bucs have brought in some quality arms to bolster a pitching staff that returns four of the five top arms from a year ago. Among the ETSU newcomers are
John Long
Clinton Freeman
Dylan Pratt
Dak Rissman
. The Bucs also have an outstanding sophomore class as
Kerry Doane
Andrew Green
Derek Niesman
Michael Gonzalez
Scott McNally
Derek Bushey
all have a year of competition under their belt.
ETSU will have a tough road in 2011 as the Bucs will face a schedule of opponents that posted a combined winning percentage of over .520 in 2010 including five NCAA tournament teams. The Bucs open with their first seven games at home before going on the road for eight of the next nine games including the conference opener against USC Upstate. ETSU will host conference contenders Florida Gulf Coast and Jacksonville. The Buccaneer conference road schedule will be tough with games at UNF, Belmont and Mercer.
2010 Johnny Bench Award Finalist
Derek Trent
returns for his senior season behind the plate. Trent spent the last two years as the ETSU starting catcher and had an outstanding junior campaign that saw him hit .348 with 13 home runs and 66 RBI. The senior also had an outstanding defensive season throwing out a league leading 23 base runners. The Bucs are the deepest they have ever been at catcher in 2011 with
Skyler Barnett
Zach Waters
Steven Monger
all capable of stepping in and making a start. Both Barnett and Waters can add a power bat and good defense, while Monger is a very athletic catcher.
ETSU returns all four starters from the infield from 2011. Senior All-American
Paul Hoilman
will anchor the Bucs at first base after having one of the best individual seasons in the program's history in 2010. Hoilman hit a league best .421 with 25 home runs and 84 RBI while leading the country in slugging (.860). Currently, Hoilman is the active leader in the A-Sun in home runs (51) and is on pace to break the conference record for career home runs, RBI and runs.
Up the middle for the Bucs, sophomores
Kerry Doane
Derek Niesman
will look to improve upon good freshman campaigns as Doane hit .335 with 23 doubles, nine home runs and 58 RBI at shortstop, while Niesman hit .265 with three home runs and 26 RBI at second base. Doane has exceptional range and a strong arm and was one of the toughest Bucs to strike out in 2010. Niesman is also a good fielder and can be used at either second or third base and has an explosive bat like many of the ETSU starters. Backing up Doane and Niesman in the infield will be
Corey McPherson
Alex Reynolds
. McPherson can play both short and second base if needed and offers a good defensive backup, while Reynolds has improved from his freshman season and offers another big lefty bat for the Buccaneers.
At third for ETSU will be junior all-conference selection
Bo Reeder
. Reeder is a .349 career hitter at ETSU and posted 20 home runs and 61 RBI in 2010 as he finished second on the team in average (.357), runs (70), hits (89), triples (3), home runs and slugging (.663).
The deepest position on the ETSU squad is the outfield, with five players back from last year's team that have made starts for the Bucs.
Matthew Scruggs
will continue to anchor the Buccaneers in centerfield after hitting .344 a year ago with 21 doubles, a team best four triples, 13 home runs and 61 RBI. Scruggs is very good defensively and should reach double digits in steals in 2011. Also making strong cases to start in the outfield are returners
Andrew Green
Cory Betterson
Michael Gonzalez
. Both Green and Betterson are good defenders that can cover a lot of ground with great speed and are a threat on the base paths, while Gonzalez offers the Bucs a power lefty bat and a strong arm in the outfield. Also in the mix for the Bucs are junior transfers
Dylan Pratt
John Long
as well as freshman
Clinton Freeman
. Pratt, a local native, brings another big righty bat to the Buccaneers and should be a fixture in the ETSU batting order, while both Long and Freeman have good range in the outfield and can also be threats for ETSU at the plate.
The Buccaneer rotation will look a little different in 2011 as the Bucs have added
John Long
Clinton Freeman
Bo Burton
on the weekends. Burton had an outstanding 2010 season leading the team with nine wins and a 4.22 ERA. The crafty sidewinder logged the second most appearances for ETSU a year ago seeing action in 31 games. Long has great stuff with good command and will be looked to help carry the pitching staff, while Freeman has had some great outings for the Buccaneers in the fall and spring, and will be the Bucs first lefty starter in several years. Also battling to get into the weekend rotation are
Ben Booker
Derek Bushey
Bret Gallihugh
. Booker had arguably the second best year on staff in 2010 going 6-2 on the year in 88.1 innings. Bushey comes into the season with a full year of experience under his belt as the sophomore showed some signs of brilliance in 2010, while Gallihugh, a freshman, has improved his stuff lately and could see a couple starts in the mid week.
Scott McNally
and junior transfer
Dak Rissman
are expected to be the top middle relievers for the Bucs, while
Bo Reeder
has moved from being a starter into the closers role. Also coming out of the pen will be lefties
Lee Hall
Kyle Watson
and righties
Zach Waters
Logan Rice
. Gallihugh and Bushey also can be used in relief for the Bucs as this year's bullpen should be one of the best in several years and will offer favorable matchups for the Bucs as they have one of the deepest pitching groups that they have had under coach Skole.

Stanford University - Stanford Stadium
This panorama, taken by Christopher Gjevre, portrays the excitement and atmosphere at a game between Stanford and Notre Dame, two schools with a deep college football tradition. Stanford, known as the Cardinal for the color of its deep red uniforms, was founded in 1891 and began playing football only a year later, with the first Big Game against rival Cal-Berkeley. In the years to follow, Stanford became known for its excellence in academics, as one of the worlds premier universities, and for its heritage in athletics as the Home of Champions. Stanford University is located on 8,180 acres in Stanford, California, and is a private research university.

EuroTalk Talk More Japanese (Beginners/Intermediate)
Talk More Japanese is the follow-on from
Talk Now Learn Japanese
for absolute beginners. This CD-ROM course is ideal for learners who already have some basic knowledge of Japanese and who wish to consolidate their previously acquired language skills. Talk More Japanese will enable you to learn useful phrases and expressions effortlessly and will allow you to get by more easily in Japanese during a trip abroad, whether on holiday or for business.
The CD-ROM's interactive approach enables fast learning of phrases used in everyday situations. The themes and subjects studied are: the alphabet, greetings, at the restaurant, shopping, directions, at the hotel, on the telephone, emergencies, leisure, business.
All the phrases and dialogues are always presented and pronounced by male and female native speakers. Initially, study is focused on recognizing and reproducing basic phrases used in the various themes and subjects. The exercises, which progress in difficulty, facilitate the understanding and memorising of the phrases studied and the learning of their correct pronunciation. Talk More Japanese enables learners to record new phrases and to compare them with phrases pronounced by native speakers and to actively participate in dialogues. The scores obtained in the quizzes and tests allow learners to monitor their progress.
In addition, learners can print out the entire phrasebook and glossary for each section studied.
As with all the products in the Talk More series, the interface is available in several languages and the CD-ROM will work in Windows PCs and Macintosh OSX computers.
Minimum system requirements:

Chris Brown on Rihanna: 'She Loves Me â What Can I Say?'
Chris Brown and Rihanna are together again and there's nothing anyone can say or do about it.

By Jeff on 1/11/2015 Jeff would recommend this product to a friend I bought 2 and have them controlled by my reefkeeper. Easily dose 2.2ml for 24 hours and keeps everything stable. Great Dosing Pump for Kalkwasser By Jim on 1/9/2015 Jim would recommend this product to a friend We're using this pump for Kalkwasser dosing from reservoir in basement to display tank upstairs. It works fine, and doses a very slow drip, so can run all night to keep the pH stable. Perfect inexpensive way to dose By June2881 on 12/31/2014 June2881 would recommend this product to a friend I had a calcium reactor running on my sps dominant tank for 8 months but just did not like the inability to keep track of all the elements being dosed. Switched over to brs two part with Red Sea additives and couldn't be happier. I have sent in my water to be tested by triton through uniquecorals and nothing but green Great little pump By 200 Gallon Reefer on 12/24/2014 200 Gallon Reefer would recommend this product to a friend Got this pump to dose my 2-part alkalinity solution. Provides a nice slow steady drip and is dead silent. The first time I turned it on I couldn't tell it was running until I saw it slowly turning. Comes with input and output tubing and was super easy to set up. I'm using my Reef Keeper as a timer and it's keeping my alkalinity right where I want it. I would definitely recommend this pump for dosing. does exactly what it's supposed to do By Arash on 12/20/2014 Arash would recommend this product to a friend simple, straight forward, use with a apex controller and you're set Using two of these reliable units By Marc on 12/16/2014 Marc would recommend this product to a friend Been using two of these for dosing calcium and alkalinity for 6 months now. The units are solid and reliable. I'm using the hamilton digital timers to control the dosing. solid pump By acidblondie on 12/14/2014 acidblondie would recommend this product to a friend Just added a third pump to dose vodka. I've had 2 others for over a year with no problems Exactly what I needed. By Matt on 12/9/2014 Matt would recommend this product to a friend Easy to set-up. Easy to calibrate. Works great with controllers for consistent dosing. I used 30 minutes to calibrate my pumps instead of the recommended 10 and I think I got a bit more accuracy with my dosing. Both were very close to the 1.1mL per minute rate, but not spot on so don't forget to calibrate! Very quiet operation and my tank is already more stable. Very well built unit. By Gary on 12/7/2014 Gary would recommend this product to a friend The pump is larger than what I expected, but very well built. The hose attachment fittings are secure and ridged. The tubing is supplied with each pump as well. They were recommended by another reefer that has used 3 pumps for over 3 years with no issues. Got 3 for my tank By Sean on 12/4/2014 Sean would recommend this product to a friend I got 3 of these for my tank (Alk, Cal, Mag). I wasn't sold on the reliability of the 3-in-one dosers. Since this equipment can potentially crash a tank, I went with what I felt was the safest solution. I have each of my 3 installed with digital timers. I wished they had timers that were adjustable down to the second instead of just minute. It would really help people with smaller tanks. Set up was easy and the product is solid. You can tell its well built all around. great dosing pump By chefmur on 12/2/2014 chefmur would recommend this product to a friend I now have had these for several years works like a charm, hooked to my apex doses my BRS 3 part, never hear it running Great pump By Cliff on 11/25/2014 Cliff would recommend this product to a friend I've been using these pumps for over a year with no issues whatsoever. I use them for Top Off as well as dosing. All around reliable pumps.

For the Mother of the Groom
Is There Anything for Me to Do?
Surely there's something I'm meant to be helping with...
- Tell your son and bride-to-be that you are willing to help and would love to be kept in the loop as they make plans
- On your own you can start by getting your guest list in order.
- Check with the bride's mother to see what she plans to wear; though you certainly may choose your outfit based on your own taste, it's usually a plus if the mothers try for a somewhat coordinated look.
- Most of all take some time to think about the expenses traditionally paid by the groom's family; which ones do you feel you can take on? The list of these expenses ranges from buying corsages and boutonnières for the groom's attendants and immediate family members to planning and paying for the rehearsal dinner. In some cases the groom's family also hosts a bridal shower or a post-wedding reception in their hometown - particularly when the wedding is small and they'd like friends to meet their new daughter-in-law.
- Let your son and his fiancée know how you'd like to contribute (financially or otherwise) so that they can plan accordingly. The more you talk the more likely you'll find opportunities to get involved.

Lewis Hamilton has bid a final goodbye to staff at McLaren's headquarters ahead of his departure to Mercedes...
Lewis Hamilton has bid a final goodbye to staff at McLaren's headquarters ahead of his departure to Mercedes.
Hamilton joined the Woking squad at the tender age of 13 with then team principal Ron Dennis playing a major role throughout his career. However his 14-year association with team comes to an end on December 31 when he moves to Mercedes.
"It was the hardest decision I've ever made," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
He added: "It is to do with the process of growing up, of leaving home. That's why I am taking the next step, to grow as a driver and as a human being."
According to reports, the 27-year-old's farewell to those who helped him to win the World Championship in 2008 was "warm and friendly".
"My time at McLaren has been fantastic," said Hamilton.
"When I arrived in Formula 1 in 2007, I now realise I never really grasped what I was taking on. Ron [Dennis] had told me: 'Don't be surprised if you're 0.5sec slower than Fernando [Alonso]', and I just smiled because I knew it wouldn't be the case. But, even so, that year was very hard, for many reasons.
"The following year, 2008, as a result of so much hard work from all of you, we won the Championship. Thanks so much. You were brilliant - you still are. I have so much affection and love for this team. And that's why McLaren has always felt like home."
He received a three-foot model of his 2008 Championship winning car and he emotionally ended off saying: "Maybe I'll come back one day... if you'll have me."

As the case surrounding a law he originally authored makes its way to the Supreme Court next week, California State Senator Leland Yee issued a handful of comments related to what will eventually be a landmark decision for gamers.
The Court will, of course, hear oral arguments for Schwarzenegger v EMA on Tuesday, November 2 at 10:00 AM.
Yee said he was "hopeful" that the Court would give "parents a valuable tool to protect children from the harmful effects of excessively violent, interactive video games."
Yee additionally claimed that SCOTUS has "often ruled" in favor of protecting kids and limiting their access, citing topics such as "pornography, gambling, marriage, firearms, jury duty, tobacco, alcohol, voting, abortion, licenses, and the death penalty" as examples.
Yee continued:
Parents – not retailers or game makers – should be able to decide whether or not their children can play in a world of murder and violence that often degrades women and racial minorities. The video game industry should not be allowed to put their profit margins over the rights of parents and the well-being of children.
The state senator continued to claim that the interactive nature of games makes them "vastly different" than other forms of media, saying that their immersion "results in a more powerful experience and potentially dangerous learned behavior in children and youth."
Yee added:
… parents can easily discern if other forms of media are appropriate for their children, whereas violent video games can contain hundreds of hours of footage with the most atrocious, racist, and sexist content often reserved for the highest levels."

Sebastian Vettel didn't mind getting booed on the Monza podium on Sunday as it meant he had beaten Fernando Alonso to the victory...
Sebastian Vettel didn't mind getting booed on the Monza podium on Sunday as it meant he had beaten Fernando Alonso to the victory.
Just days after lamenting the "unfair" boos he received at Silverstone, Vettel was once again jeered by a crowd while on the podium.
This time, though, the Red Bull racer has downplayed it.
"It was a fantastic race but you can hear the difference when you don't win here in a red suit but it means you have done well and beaten the red men," he said.
And that's exactly what he had done.
Putting in a commanding performance, the triple World Champ extended his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 53 points over Alonso after beating the Ferrari driver to the Monza win.
Starting from pole position, Vettel may have locked up in the rundown to Turn One but that didn't seem to bother him too much as he put distance between himself and the chasing pack.
The victory was Vettel's third at Monza and ties him with Alonso on 32 career wins.
"It was a great team effort today," said the 26-year-old who was joined on the podium by team-mate Mark Webber.
"The race was terrific for both of us, we had problems with the gearboxes at the end, but I was OK because I had a good cushion and it was a fantastic win."
Meanwhile, despite having a contentious relationship, Webber actually stood up for his younger team-mate in the post-race press conference saying "the atmosphere was not correct, Sebastian won the race... but that's their choice."
The German was also praised by his team boss Christian Horner, who while delighted refused to declare that this year's title is Vettel's.
"Sebastian has been amazing here this weekend. only mistake has made was on the rundown to Turn One, when he locked up.
"That was a great team performance today.
"It's a great victory for us, but there's still 175 points left. Anything can happen but we're in a healthy position."

Just my opinion on Casey and I'd keep him if he's willing to play at vet minimum or just above.
Starks needs to stay or you can kiss Ben goodbye whether you like Ben or not; with Adams or Gilbert on the left side Ben won't make it through 5 games before he's done for the year.

Im gonna protect him from himself (James Harrison). He and Will Allen are too old to be working right now. - Mike Tomlin
If Casey did something that would uncharacteristic for him, which is make a commitment to getting himself into the best shape of his life; there might be a spot for him. But I don't think he will. I'll kind of miss him, but I think he will be gone. Starks definitely has been a very steady presence on the line. He should be retained. He is the smartest O-line player they have. He is not old for that position.
I think Hampton should not be resigned. Unless its for vet minimum. I'd rather take my chances on a hungry McClendon. Not sure why we didn't see him more often this year.
You didn't hear much from Starks this year, which as a LT, is the best thing you can hope for. Great year for him.

I have it mounted on a small piece of plywood on the wall in my water closet. It works By NH Dan on 4/10/2014 NH Dan would recommend this product to a friend I just received this pump setup a few days ago. I also bought the 150 gpd upgrade with it. I am on a well and could only get about 40 psi. I hooked up the pump and pressure switch and I am getting a steady 70 psi. The pump is quiet and has really increased the water production. It does what it's supposed to. Good product. Rocks.. at over a 100 PSI By Chicago on 4/2/2014 Chicago would recommend this product to a friend Ok.. this pushed my PSI from 48 on the incoming to over 100. Not sure since my gauge only goes to 100. I understand it is advertised to push water PSI to 115. A must have By David on 3/25/2014 David would recommend this product to a friend This a must have for your RO/DI unit. Exceptionally Quiet By Phenganax on 3/12/2014 Phenganax would recommend this product to a friend I was expecting this pump to be fairly loud and was concerned because of where I have it in my apartment; however, it was quieter than my Bak-Pak 2. I also have readings of 70 psi after my second membrane, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to increase their psi or add a second membrane. I was also concerned that it would be too much pressure for my 15 gallon pressurized RO reservoir and that the pressure valve wouldn't shut it off. Much to my satisfaction this has not been a problem, the whole system works flawlessly now! Works great! By Bageezus on 2/27/2014 Bageezus would recommend this product to a friend Really boosted my pressure. Works perfect. Took my pressure from 30psi to over 60! Great By Adam on 2/9/2014 Adam would recommend this product to a friend My RO/DI dripped out clean water but after using this pump is flows out as fast as the waste water. Huge improvement. Highly recommend if water pressure is your issue. Works as Described By Tim on 2/6/2014 Tim would recommend this product to a friend Cold winters in Canada showed me that I needed to up my system to 150 GPD. I only have 60 PSI out of the tap so I needed this pump. For my application it works great!! I had to actually turn down the pump as it increased my PSI past 100. I tuned it down to 80 - 82 PSI. I will say the pump is a little louder than I'd like. The one thing that I'm not thrilled with is the noise of the PSI gauge. I have the default air filled gauge and the pump causes the dial to (flip flop) and that = noise. BRS support states that Glycerin filled gauge will nullify this. I have yet to purchase that. Outstanding! By RiffeShooter on 1/17/2014 RiffeShooter would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this with the 150GPD Water Saver RO/DI kit and I have to say, this is like adding a turbocharger to your water output! Has a consistent pressure of 85 psi and blows that water out. Another simple to install BRS product that saves the day! Excellent value for your system By chris on 1/15/2014 chris would recommend this product to a friend Before installing this my dual membrane system was operating at about 35psi. My system was producing about 50/50 product/ waste water. After installing this booster i am operating at 70psi and my water to waste production is around 75/25 product/ waste water. This thing is a must have if you want the highest efficiency possible out of your system. Boosted PSI By Adam on 1/8/2014 Adam would recommend this product to a friend My house has fairly low water pressure, around 40 PSI or a little under most of the time. I purchased this pump and now I am getting around 85 PSI. This will be perfect for when i order the 150 GPD upgrade for my RODI. Excellent product By WingRider on 1/6/2014 WingRider would recommend this product to a friend Added at same time I installed the 150g per day kit. Pump is quiet and pressure switch shuts the pump off once float Valle is triggered. Can tell difference in flow rate and hope to see waste drop off resulting in lower water bill.

"I don't try to be right, I choose to be happy" ... wait, what?
With no disrespect intended to RIc or any readers with opposing views, I take issue with the quote I pinpointed. The pursuit of happiness is a great thing and all, but I don't think it should actually take precedence over being right.
Now I know there's a fine line between "being right" and "doing the right thing". After all someone who tries to "be right" on every minute issue can get very annoying fast ( -- ever met someone who insists on correcting grammar when it's clear what's being said? case in point).
But on larger issues I would like to suggest that proving that you are in fact right constitutes doing the right thing.
eg. Galileo would've been a lot happier if he just agreed the earth was flat and stopped insisting he was right -- but aren't we happy he was stubborn?
more recent eg. Fighting tolerance / discrimination. Though intrinsically rewarding, most of us can live an easier, happier life by turning a cold shoulder. But who would argue that this is good advice?
I don't mean to pick apart Ric's quote and use it out of context. All I would like to show is that what may help you live on a micro level may actually promote apathy on a macro level. I'm only twenty though, so I'm still at the idealistic age where I think some hard work can save the world. But isn't that what TED's all about? :)

Apr 26 2011: It's easy to tell the married people from the Single people on this thread. He made that comment "I no longer try to be right, I choose to be happy" right after saying that he hasn't had an argument with his wife in 2 years, since the plane crash.

The ONLY way this is possible in any marriage is to often, just decide, not to argue. Which means more often than not, deciding that it doesn't matter who is right or wrong about the issue (whether it's about money, or chores, or any of the million little things that cause husband and wife to argue).
The quote makes perfect sense in the context of avoiding arguments with your spouse.

"I many not be right," :) but I think people over analyzed the point.
Apr 27 2011: I'm with you Kevin...I think he was making a simple point about getting along with people, especially his wife (or mine ;-D ), and not referring to "Taking A Stand" when life calls for it. By now, it seems there are 3-4 different threads running, each of which is worthy of lengthy discussion, but I don't think they're based on Mr. Elias's intention.
What a wonderfully thoughtful man. He's done a lot of clear thinking, and we all benefit. My thanks.Apr 28 2011: Ashley, it's precisely because he was no longer trying to be right and instead chose to be happy, that he hasn't had an argument with his wife for 2 yrs. Great conversation. And isn't that Daniel quite hip for 20!! The camps of thought seem to fall into either the marriage arena or the 'I'm a citizen of the world' discussion. Both are excellent. Given our turbulent political situations in the U.S. and the world, this is a conversation worth having. It hooked me, and I'm not such a joiner!
May 5 2011: what do you mean..hip for 20..just plain old big time hip I'd say

i found that interesting as my approach would be to scold her for always losing them-i might have been "right" but i'm certain neither one of us would have been "happy".
i think that is the type of thing Ric meant with his comment.May 14 2011: I don't think the speaker is intending to present the situation as something like choosing between mustard or ketchup. I think the type of "right" he is talking about here is the type of "rightness" that the ego might be grasping for to protect itself.
Anjan Ghosh
Apr 28 2011: In my understanding, what he was trying to convey thru this sentence is that most of the time we get stuck on small, trivial discussions and ideas of being right and spoil relationships that is more valuable. He gives and example of relationship with wife but it could be friends, parents, brother&sisters anybody that came in our life and we had meaningful time with them. Think about how many split and spoiled relations we have in our life? Have all these splits made us better human beings? He is talking about reflections. It is not about losing value system and morality for being happy. Its about losing the ego. Its about being non-judgemental. Its about accomodating imperfection.
- +4
The trick here is to understand what is right. One can decide right and wrong retrospectively but how do you decide that prospectively is the question. Even if we take the example of Galileo, do we know exactly what changed if the belief of people changed that earth was round and not flat. It mattered to a handful of scientist in their quest but what for a commoner was that important?
So, it is critical to understand what does 'right' mean? Isnt it too relative? Does it not change over time & space. So what he says is to value and enjoy what is more important to keep human relations going. The bonding getting stronger and we accomodating more imperfections and individuals
Apr 28 2011: Mentioning the ego, maybe it is the "ego-driven rightness" we need to let go of. That part of being right that has to do with preserving our own world view.
Apr 29 2011: "Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existance is defined in terms of control."

Jul 7 2011: Vignette from a Marriage
- +3
Me: I lent you my SD card, can I have it back, please?
Husband: No, I gave that back to you.
Me: I don't think so. I remember lending it to you on our trip. Can you look for it?
Husband: (Showing me the empty SD slot in his laptop) See? It isn't here. I don't have it. I gave it back to you.
Here, I was right. I lent him the card, he didn't return it. I could have pursued the issue and we would have fought. I didn't. By saying he returned the card, my husband is indicating that he has no idea where it actually is. Getting him to admit that he lost the card doesn't bring it back. I bought a new SD card. I also made a mental note to never lend my husband an SD card with five weeks worth of vacation photos on it ever again.
I was right, but I chose to be happy instead.
This is exactly the daily trivial stuff that comprises the bickering of a typical marriage. When you let some of it go, the relationship gets mired down much less frequently. This is what I take Ric to mean.May 6 2011: "Galileo would've been a lot happier if he just agreed the earth was flat and stopped insisting he was right"?
Would he? After all, he DIDN'T prove to the church that he was right. He proved that his conviction not to support a lie was stronger than his desire to live in a world where one must lie to live.May 3 2011: There is no love in right.
May 3 2011: Hi Michael, that is an interesting statement. Is there love in knowingly allowing someone to believe something that is untrue? I am not asking because I know the answer. I am asking because I wondered if there is love in wrong?
May 4 2011: don't we have to let people believ what they want and choose when and how to change that? proseltzing and trying to "rehabilitate" others beliefs or what we see as wrong choices for them is a very bad paradign for change..all we can do is model faithfully what we ourselves value and believe and hold those in our hearts we see may be harming themselves or others.May 7 2011: If you are defining truth as "right", then I don't think there's a relationship between love and "right or wrong" (but I might argue that equating "truth" to "right" is wrong).
If my friend who does not have a good singing voice thinks she does, is there love in telling her that she does not, and thus ruining her enjoyment of karaoke? On the other hand, when she decides to audition for American Idol, is there love in supporting her delusion, and allowing her to be humiliated on national television by Simon Cowell? If my (hypothetical) adopted son was given up by his now-deceased biological mother because she simply didn't want him, should I tell him that, rather than let him think she gave him up because she was unable to support him and wanted a better life for him?
I think what is "right" is situational, and unrelated to "the truth".

Apr 26 2011: Ignorance is bliss, while i do believe in this sometimes, some examples (like you mentioned) do escape that grasp. but knowing everything would be horrible as well, the goal of life, as i see it, is to learn and understand our world around us.

May 4 2011: Why do you say that?

May 4 2011: I did not say it in disagreement with your comment. What I meant was that one mans ignorance can be bliss to him, at the same time as that same ignorance is hurtful to someone else. If I don't bother to think about how my actions affect others, I can feel good about myself at the same time as I hurt someone else. In that case the ignorance would be a bliss to myself only.
It was a twist on words that was intended to show that just because there is a catchy frase, it doesn't make it universaly applicable. In some questions "ignorance is bliss", in others "ignoarance is bliss, to the ignorant". I think we agree there.May 4 2011: Kristopher@ I did not say that in disagreement

Like.. when you're in an argument with somebody, it can become all about "being right", to the point where each person is deadlocked and stuck in a bad place. It impedes progress and problemsolving, both in work and in a relationship - So yeah, I think he was talking about seeing the bigger picture...
At least that's what I got out of it :)
charles rose
May 5 2011: The point is that most disagreements fester when people focus on WHO's right, not WHAT's right. When you have opposing viewpoints with someone you love, you come to realize that the ego satisfaction of "winning" an argument is replaced by the feeling of sadness you have for proving them wrong - no happiness there.

Dave Wilson
May 4 2011: I'm a bit late to this conversation, but what seems to me is there is an important distinction here between facts and righteousness.
- +2
Facts are things that just ARE. Like, I woke up this morning, or there is a cup of water on the table, or the earth does revolve around the sun. All of these involve some type of observation, and humans being fallible are known for making poor observations from time to time. But no matter who is observing, the fact remains in and of itself, true. Even if no one ever observes it.
Righteousness comes in when we try to take what we consider to be fact as true and argue for that. The important part here is the 'argue'. There are many ways to present ideas, thoughts, observations, derived proofs and such without having to resort to righteousness. Righteousness is more of an emotional state, or way of being rather than having anything to do with stating the facts. It is our own sense of righteousness that Ric was referring to when he was talking about being happy instead of being right.
You CAN be happy and still work for the better good. You will also find you will have an easier time if you aren't trying to impose your righteousness on others. We can have civilized discourse, like we are doing here, present ideas and suggestions, bring forth the facts and temper our judgments. Imposition of our beliefs on others through our righteousness is where war comes from, especially when you consider extreme religious groups.
You can always impose your righteousness on others, but you cannot impose happiness on them. What we think will make others happy, is often not the case at all.
May 4 2011: Dave well said..clearly said..thank youApr 28 2011: Thanks everyone for taking the time to give such thoughtful responses. Based on the direction of the conversation so far I'll just add a brief clarification my defense of "being right".
"Rightness" is such a loaded term that it is easy to equivocate someone's saying that they are right to saying that everyone else is wrong. A few commenters have pointed to this as a flaw of trying to be right. But this isn't necessarily what I'm saying. Rather, it's the ability to hold onto your own sense of "rightness" while co-existing with others who have their own believes of what's right that should be strived for. If you're living under someone else's notion of what's right (legally, morally, spiritually, etc..) then I don't think you can truly choose to be happy, but only chose to conform.
On the other hand, I believe there are certain issues where right and wrong can and must be determined. It *had* to be determined for example that women have the right to vote. In countries where they still do not, we cannot simply force this belief on them, but we are selling humanity short if we passively accept such forms of oppression in the name of tolerance.
( The first TED talk I ever watched was by Sam Harris, who does a great job of talking about the implications of judging right and wrong:
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s_right.html )
In sum, I agree with the speaker on the importance of not sweating who's right in the small things. But in the larger sense, the often tiresome battle for rightness is well worth having.
Apr 28 2011: great clarification..very constructive and will allow us to explore new ground
Aida Sevilla
Apr 27 2011: Daniel, I completely got what he says about being right. People who need to be right have no tolerance for others. They perceive their actions as the right way to do things and their viewpoints as the right way to think. Any other approach is just wrong. A differing opinion is a direct insult to their ideas or opinion sometime they become extremely aggressive in their defense. Having to be right seems to be more like the definition of self-righteous I can probably illustrate this better if you applied it in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others: narrow-mindedly moralistic. Someone who needs to be right would seem to be self-righteous, i.e. someone who feels that their way of seeing and doing things is superior to that of others. This will bring a lot of unhappiness to anybody, in my opinion, but then again I might no be right! ☺Apr 27 2011: Problem is that Galileo did indeed agree on the 22nd of June, 1633 that the earth was the centre of the universe rather than the sun. The argument was not about a flat earth but one about the legitimacy of heliocentrism. I think it is interesting that Galileo chose to recant, and, possibly, adds some weight to Keith Bender's post about winning the battle but losing the war. I suspect that Galileo recanted because he knew that ultimately others would demonstrate over time that the earth did indeed move and that fighting for so-called "right" would achieve nothing but his fiery end.
- +2
Heliocentrism was an idea before its time, and the problem of ideas before their time is just that - time needs to elapse, hypotheses need to firm, others need to confirm the "science" and a lot of chatter has to happen before the possible transforms into an agreed reality.
The other thing that struck a resonant chord in me with KBs post was his suggestion that maybe there is no such thing as "right". If we use pre-scientific, or Aristotlean, logic then of course we can proclaim a string of things as right and wrong, we can declare that we've discovered the rock of truth and we can breath life into the Descartes notion of the God's eye view, but science has moved on since that bunch of smart Greek guys sought to codify the reality of Athens 300 BC. The very scientific approach that ultimately proved and went far beyond Heliocentrism has also helped us move beyond the logic of right and wrong into quantum and radial logic, where about the nearest one can ever get to right is "right-ish".
Pity that most of the public debates of today are still conducted using Aristolean precepts, when with a little flexibility we could try to use the logic of the twenty-first century. And maybe, just maybe, we can reduce the mortality rate of contemporary clashes of ideas in the process. For if one looks over history at those who have "fought" for whatever, we see a massive body count.
Apr 28 2011: tx for this wonderful thought and in particular the idea of "agreed reality"..that's one to hold and think about for ''- time needs to elapse, hypotheses need to firm, others need to confirm the "science" and a lot of chatter has to happen before the possible transforms into an agreed reality.'and this too very comelling:" The very scientific approach that ultimately proved and went far beyond Heliocentrism has also helped us move beyond the logic of right and wrong into quantum and radial logic, where about the nearest one can ever get to right is "right-ish".

I wish you will try some Tibetan meditation which will helps you to find your answer .May 6 2011: In my own personal experience, I've prioritized Truth over happiness. At some time I sat down and asked myself the hard question "what is most important?" at the time Truth came out the winner over all else and so I pursued it to the best of my ability. now I'm not saying that I have understood The Truth, but I will say that the closer I approached it the more I regretted my decision. I have learned that there are absolutely more important things in this world than Rightness, or The Truth (with a capital T), the closer I came to Truth the further I got from what is really important, which I now know to be Love, the only thing in this world worth a damn.

Apr 30 2011: He (Ric) was saying he didn't need to be right on issuses that were not so important he needed to cause discomfort. On this, I believe he was RIGHT !!Apr 29 2011: I used to have a friend who always had to be "right", even when she was wrong about nonsubjective matters. I used to argue for hours with her about basic logic problems, showing her algebraic solutions that proved she was wrong. This had nothing to do with moral standpoints. And she would never back down; she was right and you were wrong. This behavior also transferred over into her marriage. She is now divorced and we are no longer friends. So in her ego, she was right, but I don't think it made her very happy.

Right versus happy isn't an all-or-nothing choice.
We should pick our battles wisely. That's the answer.
We are sometimes faced with a choice (this is from John Bradshaw): do we want to be right or do we want to be close (to someone). Lets make that choice conciously. As the annoying grammarian is probably not doing.
By the way, I'm not religious, but this reminds me of a quote from Jesus: "I bring not peace, but a sword." This seeming contradiction from a great champion of peace is about rocking the boat when what's right is important enough. But he did it with love and non-violence. Maybe that's the way to be right AND happy...
Matthew Jee
Apr 27 2011: A few years ago something came to me, a single line that summed up all that was wrong with the way I was living and, I suspect, the society in which we live:

"Stop being right - and start being".
Daniel I think you could benefit greatly from watching Kathryn Schultz talk here: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/kathryn_schulz_on_being_wrong.html
The problem is you are walking around in your bubble of "being right" not realising that it feels exactly the same as being wrong. It confines you to a limited reality filtered through your preconceptions of "being right". You can't tell the difference between being right or being wrong until someone proves it one way or the other.
Life is much simpler when you give up the ghost of "being right" and start "just being". Life is simpler and so, oddly enough, is being right AND doing right.
Living as close to the very moment you are in as you can leads to this.
Keith Bender
Apr 26 2011: What is right? ....Win the battle but lose the War? Happiness is a by-product of a life worth living. My viewpoint may differ from your way of seeing things but it is not wrong compared to yours being right. For all it is really is a choice among many choices. The day I backed my arrogant attitude up against the wall with the realization that there is at least 6 ways of seeing the same situation if I would just stop defending my way, then I might see the others persons point of view in the midst of all their "wrongness", I saw happiness as a decision I was in charge of making for myself. The truth is that many of us have been addicted to being right! It's a smoke screen for being perfect and we all learn at some point that our definition of perfection is imperfect and that too is a decision among many choices.
- +1
You will make more friends by listening than ever by being right. I thought that by being right I would deserve the friends I wanted to have. It was back asswards from that, but you will never convince someone addicted to being right of that simple truth . Being addicted to being right means saving our face is more important than saving our life. The talk was about a life awakening event. The old melts away like it never existed. May you survive your destiny of being Right if that truly is your head strong path. Life is a whole body experience and being Right is simply a head trip.
When I heard those words about not wanting to be right but to be happy I applauded. I could feel the words he spoke and those words were alive.
Changing the world ?If we can get 2 billion to see it our way it will take being wrong more than it will take being right. My rightness stands in the way of our progress. Do we welcome being wrong ?

Debra Smith
Apr 26 2011: Hi Daniel,I think this sort of statement arises out of two different situations. One- it is a lot of intellectual work to continue to figure out what truth is. Along the way it requires giving up some cherished beliefs and the hard work of really listening to people and to the thoughts expressed in written works. Many people get tired along the way and form some sort of uneasy truce with never getting to the bottom of things.The second situation comes when people just get tired of battling. Even if they believe that they have more information and more truth than the prevailing authorities they know that the truth was never the goal for some people and they get tired of the fight. I'd rather be happy than right is sometimes just the best compromise that can be made when life is short and the battle is too tough.There are prices to pay when you are a person who will not settle for injustice or BS. The world really needs all of you energetic 20 year olds with hope and vigor to push ahead!Apr 26 2011: Let's not forget also that there are some people who, for them, being right makes them happy. I'm sure Ric doesn't give up being right 100% of the time, but after surviving a plane crash I think his point is that his priorities have, well, re-prioritized. And top of the list of being a good parent, as he says.

Apr 26 2011: I think that maybe what he was getting at could be said as, "let some things slide". Being right when it's important to be right -- like Galileo -- is good but there's no need to force being right on people at every opportunity, especially if it is going to create bad feelings. To walk around with a cloud over one's head because one is preoccupied with others' perceived faults, concerns about status, always making a point and convincing others of can really affect one's day-to-day mood.Jul 21 2011: Well I respect that also, but I think you just missed the mark here. He clearly means that he does not want to argue and waste his energy with negative people. It is obvious that he is not supporting doing the wrong thing to be happy, but simply choosing to be so without getting other people´s approvals.Jul 21 2011: thank you, i am studying tibetan meditation form my boyfriend, he is a superstart in tibet. i wish you always be happy.Jun 28 2011: Have you realized that all the wars that have had place in the world are because two sides (at least), think that they are right?
- +1
It all resumes in " THE EXACT ISUE THAT ITS ABSOLUTLY RIGHT FOR YOU COULD NOT BE RIGHT FOR ME AND VICEVERSA"Jun 27 2011: Have you considered this scenario:
A guy fights/argues/demonstrates to prove he is right because he will gain respect (= look cool) in public, but he is never the practitioner of whatever that right implies. So when it comes to himself, he still does what makes him happy regardless of the degree of "right" in what he does.Jun 25 2011: Being right is very important. but what is more important is to realize that in most cases we are far from knowing what right is. most of the time we don't have or can't analyze all the factors affecting an event so we can't really say for sure what is wrong and what is right. so many issues that cause arguments are subjective and by far no one knows what right is.
in this cases, to insist that you are right, is taking your happiness away from you and people you care about and it shows that you are far from being a mature person. I think this is what he meant because he said he had not been fighting with his wife. human fights are most of the time not about facts (e.g. if earth is flat) they are about preferences (e.g. let's go see that romantic comedy).May 18 2011: I actually agree with Daniel Vineberg on this one. The right thing comes first because some people's happiness might depend on making others feel bad. This is not an abstract idea - consider the America civil war which was in a way fight between "people's happiness" and the "right thing".May 16 2011: What I believe Ric was saying that fighting over opinions is destructive. Daniel, I want to tell you that age has nothing to do with what you want to do, your inner spirit and beliefs are the only things that have any influence in that area.
More interesting is your understanding of what it means to be right. Being right means you won an argument, it doesnt mean that theres some universal law (truth?) that you are in alignment with. Doing the right thing means doing what you understand is moral, it is an opinion and just like everything it will change in time. In fact there is no hair thin line between these two things, they are completely different animals. If you believe that there are universal laws (gods rules if you will) then I beg you to inspect your beliefs further. Are there situations where you must break a law to be in accord with another? Of course there are. Where do these laws come from? From the mind. However you look at it, the terms used to describe any action are infinitely complex, they can and will be described differently by every person. So in fact these ideas are in your head, sure they might have come from a book (holy or not) and therefore constructed by another person (or directly from a god, which we cant prove). Either way our own understanding is not the same as the original constructors. Physical laws seem to be bent and broken in certain situations like the big bang, and even seemingly simple things such as golf balls are made up of millions of tiny particles which we can barely describe and have no real understand of. Even numbers themselves are mental constructs, 1 apple in reality is not one thing at all, nor do we know if there's any elementary particles that make an apple up, infinite in function and in ways to describe it.
As far as I can tell there is a world that can be described, these descriptions (or truths) are NOT reality itself, if even a part of the same reality. Truth is a measure, and maybe never absolute.
Time....May 12 2011: Would you rather be happy, or right? It's a personal decision, mostly about acceptance, people that are accepting, of others mostly, but of situations as well, often are heard to use too little words when they need to employ that acceptance, "oh well." Better in my mind that "oh damn."Apr 30 2011: I just remembered I recently saw a bio movie on Darwin..he knew his obseravtions and data were correct..his interpretation,, but he also knew how shattering that would be to culture and to people's beliefs so he sat on it for quite a while... Can't remember whether he released it himself or his estate did...Drawin's dilemma is right to the heart of this conversation and also to the TED talk on Practical Wisdon (???Correct Title?).Apr 27 2011: Hi Daniel ~ (great question by the way)
One of the greatest things I've learned about "being right" in my past 40 years, came partly from my own near death experience (at 20yo), and partly from a 20 year creative career in photography, design & advertising. Briefly summarized, the lesson is "everything that's not based on perspective, is closer to being the truth.
Nearly everything we experience emotionally, as well as through our physical senses can vary greatly from person to person. Something as simple as tickling someone can result in giggling & laughter, but it can also be truly painful for another person.
In my late 20's, while calibrating my monitor to match with photos coming from my inkjet printer - I was getting frustrated and needed a better perspective on how to color match. So I covered my right eye & tried to determine whether I needed more cyan, or more magenta to get a proper color balance. Then I tried again with my left eye covered. And I discovered a 5%-7% difference in color perception between my own two eyes. It seemed insignificant at first, but then I realized - if my right and left eye can't agree on what's magenta or what's cyan - how many different things do we all perceive in different ways? I laughed when I thought of my left eye & my right eye...arguing over color schemes.
As human beings, we have the gift of empathy and understanding another person's pain...or happiness. When we put "ourselves in someone else"s shoes" or "try seeing it their way", we often find both sides had valid points - based on their perspective & the information they had to process what they experienced.
What's right for me, may be completely wrong for someone else. By respecting that & looking for similarities in our experiences, we gain & grow iindividually and as a race. Or we fight, start wars & fight over who's "right".
History shows us - peace & happiness result from understanding - not from fighting over who's "right".Apr 27 2011: You made some interesting points but I believe you are overthinking the quote. For myself, it is good to remember this quote when I find myself too attached to being right. Of course there are times when "right" seems obvious, and I too am glad Galileo didn't back down. However, when I find myself wasting oxygen trying to convince those who are determined their way is right, or (yes it happens) I'm positive My way is right, t's helpful to remember "right vs. happy". Thanks for your comments and you are ROCKING twenty--keep on questioning and be well.Apr 27 2011: Good question, Daniel, but I think his comment was very poignant, especially for present American social norms. I don't think Elias meant it in the Galilean sense you mentioned, Daniel. Especially because arguing with one's wife about mundane things is not analogous to having monumental proof that will change the fundamental understanding of the universe and keeping quiet about it to happily avoid argument. I may be wrong but the impression I got is not that he's decided to just give up and be silent. His decision I think is in recognition of how so many people try to force their opinion for the sake of "winning" or "being right" out of habit without really realizing what they are doing. It's a more mature mode of communication. I think he means he's decided a difference of opinion doesn't mean he has to fight his way through it to prove he's right. More important is listening and understanding each other and discussing things.Apr 27 2011: Daniel..your point is a good one..when we stay silent just for the sake of getting along, or conform to go with the flow on things that don't aline with our own internal truth meter we are part of the problem and not part of the solution.The movie Snow Falling on Cedars ( I have to check excat title) illustrates beautifully what I think you are pointing to. It'sa story about the cultural community context the internment of American Japanese. You are right that we must always witness for social and economic justice, for tolerance and religious freedom.Apr 27 2011: Elad, I agree that some people think that they achieve happiness when they prove someone else wrong. However, they do not realize that this short-term gain is at the expense of a serious long-term loss. The bitterness, rancor, disharmony, and disunity that this attitude and behavior can engender far outweighs the fleeting pleasure of winning an argument. I would claim that the ability to recognize when an issue is unimportant and let the other person do it THEIR way is a sign of maturity and grace and paves the road to true happiness.Apr 26 2011: I believe there is a fine line between being right and being successful. So while Galileo might have had the strength to be right in the face of the Nay Sayers, I wonder if there were times when he accepted that some part of his belief system was wrong so that he could move forward with the bigger picture. Being right all the time and the need for it can sometimes simply get in our way. On the other had the strength to stick by our guns is a great quality
Apr 27 2011: Kathryn is pointing to the kind of wrong the church was in trying silence Galileo through imprisonment for simply observing what was. The kind of "right" Glaileo was, we have to be in everything..we can't mistrust what we actually see..can we? Galileo's work was phenomenological not theoretical. He wrote down what he actually saw. What the Galileo story teaches us is that in a world of people wedded to what they alreday know and believe, new observations are not always welcome even if they are based in fact, not theory.
