Thursday, May 27, 2004CHARLESTON, S.C. (May 27, 2004) -- Second-seeded Georgia Southern defeated East Tennessee State, 12-4, from Riley Park in Charleston, S.C., eliminating the Bucs from the Southern Conference Baseball Tournament, sponsored by the Virginia-Carolina Peanut Growers and the National Peanut Board. Georgia Southern starter Josh Lairsey allowed just two earned runs while throwing all nine innings for the Eagles, improving to 4-1. Eagle third baseman Logan Phillips went 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Brandon Long was 4-of-5 from the plate for GSU with two runs scored while leftfielder Jason Hurst collected three hits, three runs scored, and two RBI. Georgia Southern (34-24) moves on to face the loser of the Elon/Western Carolina game Friday at 10:00 a.m. GSU jumped ahead in the second inning on a Logan Phillips single that scored Hurst. The Eagles did the bulk of their damage, however, in the top of the third. They quickly loaded the bases with a Long walk and singles by Grant Burruss and Greg Dowling. Hurst drove in the inning's first run with a single to left. Two runs then scored when centerfielder Tim Turner misplayed a fly ball, upping the Eagles' lead to 4-0. Flint Wipke then drove in a run with a groundout, and Phillips tallied his second RBI with another single, this time to centerfield. ETSU sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.) opened the bottom of the third with a double to left center. He eventually came around to score, putting the Bucs' on the board, down 6-1. Georgia Southern added two more unearned runs in the fifth inning as a result of another ETSU fielding error, and Phillips collected his third RBI in the seventh inning, driving in Hurst with his third single of the day. ETSU scored runs in the sixth and seventh inning to climb to within five runs, but Georgia Southern extended its lead to 12-4 with three more in the eighth, putting the game out of reach. With the loss, ETSU (28-30) is eliminated from the tourney. ETSU sophomore starter Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) took the loss for the Bucs, allowing six runs (four earned) on six hits in three innings. He walked three while striking out one. Senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) went 2-for-4 with a run scored for the Bucs while sophomore outfielder Matt Traylor drove in two runs and Roberts scored two runs. "If you look at the games teams have won in the tournament, they have gotten great starting pitching and timely hitting," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole. "It is very frustrating because we have not been able to do that. Our program made leaps and bounds this year. We beat Kentucky, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and swept The Citadel. We're going to continue to recruit hard, recruit quality players, and I think we can be 10 wins better next year."

The distance encoder plays an integral part in ADI flash metering, which delivers high precision flash metering that is unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds. The distance encoder is a lens component that directly detects the position of the focusing mechanism, and sends a signal to the CPU in order to measure distance to the subject. During flash photography, this data is very useful in calculating how much flash output is appropriate to the scene.

Reloaded a few myself at 3.49.....lets see if 3.50 holds the close......would be SWEEETTTT!!
got the note from The Wife "did you see The Dog today?" -- took a look, and, well...
had to sign in and give you props, RC
side note: it's wild how something that I was so consumed with only a year ago is now a passing thought.
- then again, I moved my stock bookmarks off of my main browser bar and the stock apps off of the main screen on my phone.
anyway -- here's the Ahsan link -- which is my primary go-to when looking at SIRI these days.
I feel like this guy was talking to me about not selling at 3.58.
DM_4=Hedy=BM are on ignore. Please do not comment or respond to me. Thanks!
3.53 close, and I'm seeing 3.55 in AH. Nice!
Hey Denco - when I see that Hi/Low and closing charts the first thing that comes to mind is a 50% retracement. Not saying that it's going to happen though.
LOL ass clown BM posted a nice cliff hanger article today about SIRI's run and from the looks of the comments, no one can read his reasoning for why price is running. Fun to watch the shennanigans ensue over there from the outside while not giving that slimeball any more money. What's the saying, "A sucker is born every day"?
The close looks like it has a bit more in it based on the last few long tails.
The last BIG high low break to the upside was from 2.09 to 2.51 single column before the big retrace.
Bottom line it is probably close but could go more and I would not be surprised.

What is your definition of 'freedom'?
Every now and then we all question our own sense of freedom and what it is to be 'free'. How it is to live in the 'land of the free'. As much as it can sometimes be a little deep to talk about with peers, I thought this would be the best place to propose a discussion on your personal opinion of what it is to be 'free'.
See, a lot of people I've asked define 'freedom' as the opportunity to do what ever you want... I then follow this with asking, 'If everyone did as they wished, you'd then be bound by a constant fear of the actions of others, would you not? Then how 'free' would you feel?'
I simply want to start this conversation not because I believe 'freedom' is a definable concept, but because everyones' opinions of the idea is different and it's interesting to hear those opinions.
Farah Fitria
Apr 26 2013: Freedom is the ability to let things go. In other words freedom has something to do with sincerity and unattachment. Excuse my bad English.
- +6
Apr 26 2013: Farah,
Your English is good, and you make a good point. We sometimes think of freedom as "having" something, and it is equally important in my perception, to have freedom to let things go:>)
Welcome to TED:>)Apr 26 2013: I don't think that anybody here can top your 'definition' of freedom :)
Thank you !

Apr 29 2013: Hello Mr. Don

Firstly, if my idea of what freedom is confuses you, let me explain it. When there's a caged bird, the only way to make it free is to unattach it from the cage. When I have something and I worry about that something being gone (like money, car, power, respect, etc), actually I'm being enslaven by that something. The way to not being enslaven is to not worry about that something and accept the fact that it'll be gone someday (this means sincerity, letting things go, and unattachment). When I wrote that comment above, I didn't think about government, rules, society, etc so it won't be fair if I write what I've thought about it now.
Secondly, there's no absolute truth so if yours isn't like this, it's okay. We have different ideals as individuals. :)

Do you mean if it has nothing to do with sincerity and unattachment? Without sincerity there would be barbarism where ego takes place.
If this doesn't what you mean, sorry cause I actually use that 'has something to do' as 'has some kind of relation with'. I couldn't find good words to describe that. Excuse my not-so-good English. :)
Apr 30 2013: Hi Farah,
The combination of sincerity and unattachment that you mention made be think of 'purity of heart'.
Thank you, Tarantino and Bjork bless you.
Peter Law
Apr 23 2013: There are many things that curtail our freedom. IMO chief among these is fear. We all suffer fear of something; whether work, relationships, disease, or ultimately death. Many people who appear to have great freedom; they may be rich & healthy, but are slaves to fear. Conversely you can find poor people, with serious health problems, who are free from fear & anxiety.
- +5
For me personally, my Christian faith brings a whole new dimension to freedom. I cannot say that fear has no part to play in my life. What I can say is that the real prospect of a better life brings things into sharp perspective. My faith may or may not be accurately targeted, but in a way that is irrelevant; as my present life in the here & now is greatly enhanced by the mere prospect.
John 8:36 (NIV)
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

I wish you could see the smile across my face right now. Richard Feynman, my favorite scientist, had so much wisdom to impart to us. Such a pity he is gone.
His words in this video resonated so much with me, and perhaps with many who have "common sense".
His ability to communicate science in layman's terms made listening to him a joy. His love of science and inquiry was and is very contagious........I am alway in awe of his wisdom.
One of my favorite quotes from him, and which I've shared before on TED:
"You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird----So.....let's look at the bird and see what it's doing - that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something, and knowing something." R. Feynman
And here's a quote someone from TED shared with me:
"There are known knowns.
These are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns.
That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know.
But, there are also unknown unknowns.
These are things we don't know we don't know."
Have a great day Don Wesley :DApr 30 2013: Worth a TED Talk on his own!

Apr 26 2013: Freedom is doing what you want so long as u respect other peoples freedom and obey the law

Apr 27 2013: I am an anarchist. There are two definitions. Neither of which will sway any real contingency. I believe that as long as you harm no others, in any way, relish in freedom as it can neither be given nor granted... only internalized. The word freedom insinuates escape from an external constraint. Our inept, yet highly moral governance, will dictate the meaning of' 'free' in mass. Taxation without representation means so little when engagement is quarter, drawn, and worth two cents.
abd maj
Apr 25 2013: good question ..
- +3
well, for me, I think freedom is the ability to do whatever you want ,however , without hurting the others by your actions.
for example,a murder is something unacceptable ,because you're not allowed to do something that hurts the others, however, hurting the others isn't always a matter of material things.I mean a person may hurt the others morally , for instance, when a person makes fun of others beliefs, religions, races, prophets .. that's can't called "freedom" because that behavior hurts the others.
Apr 26 2013: what about when the practicing of one religion hurts the people who practice a different religion? should they stop?
Apr 26 2013: They should stop hurting, not practicing. Religion does not hurt. It's what people do with it.
I would compare religion with fire. One can use fire to cook dinner or to burn his neighbor's house. Technically, it's fire that hurts. Shall we deem it harmful?
Ben Jarvis
Apr 26 2013: for some it does. invoking the name of one god is blasphemy against another. a person should be as free to practice a religion as another is to mock it.
- +1
i would agree with your fire analogy, however you get a problem when one fire user insists his neighbour not be allowed to use fire because it offends him.Apr 26 2013: You raise an interesting question. Generally, I advocate tolerance, i.e. respecting choices and freedom of other people. But how far should the tolerance go? Shall we tolerate hate speech and slander and protect them as "free speech"? Where is the line where we stop tolerance towards things we consider wrong and immoral?
Some people don't tolerate teenagers walking with their pants around their knees. Some don't tolerate homosexuality. Some are offended by nudity. Tolerance is one side of the coin. On the other side, how far should our conformity to the rules dominating in a society go? Should people be allowed to walk naked in the streets? If we object to public nudity and want to force everyone to cover their bodies (at least, some parts), why would we object to forcing women wearing hijab?
Apr 26 2013: Consider this, then; if one is free to object (violently even) to your paradigm you should be free to defend it equitably. If burning my house meant burning yours we both would have a vested interest in finding an alternative method to express our discontent lest we both become homeless.Apr 26 2013: @ Stacey Harris
Interesting. So, do you advocate "an eye for an eye" (which leaves everyone blind)? How about forgiveness and turning the other cheek?
How about cases when one side is overwhelmingly more powerful than the other (by means of physical force, weapons, or influence)? I.e. cases when the weaker side cannot really object without facing dire consequences? Does it mean that the stronger side is free to impose its rules as it pleases?
If someone mocks other people's religion and the people have violent protests in another part of the world harming the innocent - was the person mocking the religion free to do so given the consequences? Are the people committing violence in response to mocking justified in their actions?
I don't think, these questions have logical answers. This is a vicious cycle. It's best for everyone if it never starts at all and, if someone starts it, stopped right away. I'd say, both sides are equally wrong in this situation.Apr 26 2013: In case of "offending by nudity", "an eye for an eye" seems to be absurd. If I go naked in the street and someone is "offended" he can go naked too and "offend" me.
Oh, boy. Discussions of morality are better left alone... There is no logic in why we consider things "moral" or "immoral". It's all seems to be about beliefs and emotional responses.
Apr 27 2013: arkady you've made so many brilliant points! i really think you're getting somewhere though so i don't think you need to conclude that it's impossible.
i wonder if we can find a line between hate speech and slander? i have no problem with hate speech, the same as any debate even if we completely disagree we all learn something from having heard the other side. maybe it only becomes a problem when certain criteria are met, say doing it in a shopping mall rather than a speakers' area, or deliberately spreading falsehoods (by which case then it'd be deception that was the problem, not the speech itself).
you really got me thinking with the being offended by nudity bit. i would be bothered if a bunch of people were walking about naked in public, but i don't think i'd be offended, it'd be more of a lack of manners thing, like i'd feel they were trying to impose on normal people just trying to go about their business. i'd feel the same way if someone was wearing a "fuck the police" t-shirt or spitting or defecating in public too though. i mean it's not that a person can't say whatever hateful things are on their mind or can't go about naked or wear what they want, because there are places designated for those things.
similarly for religion, for freedom's sake, people need to practise it in their place of worship and leave others alone, and if any mocking is to be done that too should be in the proper place, eg not right in front of the place of worship.Apr 27 2013: Ben, Re: designated places for hate speech. I like the idea. You said, you live in Japan. I've heard, some companies there have special rooms for employees with a rubber dummy of their boss where they can vent their frustrations. Is that true or is it an urban legend? Might be a useful idea. Some people believe, we need to vent out negative emotions once in a while rather than cook them inside.
I'm trying to actively oppose negative attitudes and avoid blame games of any kind. "Just say 'no' to negativism" as I read on a bumper sticker the other day. It helps.
Strange that you think I made brilliant points. I thought, I am confused myself and confusing everybody here :-).Apr 24 2013: Freedom is the ability to make decisions on you own without external influence. Now, there are 4 things you need in order to be free: 1) Food, no one is free with an empty belly. 2) Knowledge, freedom without knowledge is just an illusion. 3) Self-discipline, freedom without self-discipline leads you to self-destruction. 4) Responsibility, freedom without responsibility is debauchery. Freedom is not a fixed concept it varies depending on the situation you are living, you are more free when you are making decisions in a field where you have expertise, and less free when you make decisions about something you don't know well. You are more free alone and less free in a crowd... and so on.

You are more free alone and less free in a crowd... and so on.Apr 30 2013: GREAT AND RELEVANT QUESTION IN THESE TIMES!
The Bible puts freedom in full context. Freedom is a product of law and not the absense of it (now how unexpected is that!). Actually, let me start form the top down.
DOMINION - (top level) The full physical territory and theoretical scope of influence. For God, this includes everything He created except our free will (a similar consequence of God's choice otherwise it wouldn't be free). Man's domain is the earth and his ideas.
POWER - (lower level) The ability to produce change in something or someone else inside our realm of dominion.
GOVERNMENT / KINGDOM - The system of power employed or power structure excersised.
LAW - The proactive communication of that system of power and that which defines (and simultaneously limits) our freedom. JUDGEMENT - (sticking this one in there) The reactive communication and excersize of that power which limits our freedom.
AUTHORITY - (the middle) The individual (legitimate) power that remains within the confines of the Law (what the Republic of America was built on).
PURPOSE - (lower, more fundamental level) The internal goal that further limits our freedom, around which we exercise our (legitimate) authority, and the direct product of our identity.
IDENTITY - (the core) In short, your position towards God, "your Creator".
So, the more free you realize you are, the more responsibility you equally have - ignorance is (temporary) bliss. This may seem more familiar to some if you read them in reverse order.
[Anecdote: God was free to ignore/destroy his creation but freely chose self-sacrifice to set the 1st example of the consequence of freedom.]Apr 30 2013: I believe that freedom is the self confidence in yourself.Apr 29 2013: Doing / acting / expressing / believing anything without impacting others negatively .....

If you have no health, how can you achieve the freedom.
Apr 28 2013: I agree Wong... a healthy mind and body are important in pursuit and recognition of freedom....well said:>)Apr 27 2013: Seeing beauty in nature, sharing laughter with a child, helping a stranger in need. Feeling calm and well within myself. These are freedom.
Apr 27 2013: So true. In many senses freedom is being true to who you are ...Apr 28 2013: Happens to make me smile.Apr 27 2013: freedom = self awareness.
scott lee
Apr 27 2013: Freedom is a complex idea which can be broken down into two general camps (sometimes they are called positive and negative freedom, but I dislike those terms because of the connotations they bring).
- +2
For example, in many countries people are forced to pay taxes which funds a public education system. One camp would say that by compelling people to pay taxes for this purpose they are denying citizens the choice of where their money goes which limits their freedom. On the other hand, giving everybody access to education gives them more opportunity in a greater variety of career paths and the knowledge with which to participate in civil society, which therefore increases their freedom.
I am in the latter camp. I don't believe freedom is about lack of restrictions. I believe freedom is about empowerment. People are free when they have the resources, knowledge and skills to pursue and generate opportunities for themselves and others. An empowered citizen in a lawful society is freer than an uneducated, destitute person who lives in a place free of the restrictions of government.Apr 26 2013: What to do, how to act, what to think are things influenced or even driven by others. Even if I'm just walking down the street alone, there are so many rules governing my actions & behavior. So much media / input influencing my thought. So much invasive technology in our fabricated world. For me to feel free I need to be alone, in nature, meditating to focus on "nothing". I can find a sense of freedom there but only temporarily.
Thanks for the posts.
Apr 26 2013: The less ego the more freedom.
I guess, it goes like this
Thanks !
Apr 28 2013: I like this condensed version better than mine. ThanksApr 28 2013: Tyler,
I also LOVE the freedom I feel when experiencing nature, meditating, playing in the gardens, focusing on "nothing" ...and..... "everything":>)
I'm wondering....
Why is this feeling only temporary for you? Do you feel the same freedom when "driven by others", as you say?
Apr 28 2013: Hi dear Colleen
great new picture..
I think freedom is about being flexible...or lets say our capacity to challange every thing....
Apr 28 2013: Hello dear Mohammad....thank you.....nice to see you my friend:>)
I agree...flexibility is a GREAT quality to have and enjoy. Even better when we can challange with a flexible, mindfully aware heart and mind?Apr 28 2013: Dear Mohammad,
I notice your new photo. I would send you an e-mial, but you do not have that feature in your profile. Are you aware that pointing a finger at people is sometimes thought of as threatening or aggressive? I thought you would like to know that because I feel certain that is not your intent.Apr 29 2013: Dear Colleen
really..?..!.....I like that pic....because i look like wolves in that pic....lol....
of 'course i don't like to be threatening or aggressive...I am not..
but I think you are right, maybe for this context that is not the best picture...Apr 26 2013: No tensionApr 26 2013: Freedom to me is only found alone.
Apr 26 2013: Tyler,
Are you suggesting that it is a personal perception? A personal choice?Apr 26 2013: When alone you are One with everything else.Apr 26 2013: My definition of freedom changes depending on the situation, in tune with the environment or against its tune.
At this point being free is being able to change not only yourself but also the tune.
(... and being able to go further than to the closest grocery store without pain in my broken foot, but that's a different story, and it will soon change...)
The definition changes for many in the course of life, I believe, it shifts from protest against supervisors (parents, teachers etc.) to meditative feeling of peace and openness, then back again. Depends on age, experiences, rules of conduct, physical constraints and many other factors related to other people or just to who you are. Change is constant, as they say.
But in the end of the day being free is being and having an unrestricted right to be.
Apr 26 2013: I agree Anna, that how free we actually feel may change with situations. I also feel that no matter what the situation, I always have the freedom to choose how I think, feel, act and react to the situation, and as you say...change is constant. Maybe there are several levels and different feelings of freedom?
Sorry about your broken foot.....hope it heals soon. I froze my toes skiing in Feb., and my mobility was somewhat restricted for awhile, so freedom of movement was challenged.....be well:>)Apr 26 2013: I would associate freedom with will power. In many cases, "doing what we 'really' want" means denying ourselves many other things we may also want, but consider less worthy or important. It's a paradox, but freedom means imposing, sometimes, huge restrictions on ourselves. If we don't impose restrictions on ourselves voluntarily, other people will - police, credit card company, etc. or we will become slaves of our own passions - addictions, lust, temper.
In other words, for me, freedom means self-control
Apr 26 2013: Arkady,
That makes sense to me. If we are imposing restrictions on ourselves for the purpose of self control, we are using our freedom of choice.Apr 25 2013: "you'd be bound by the constant fear of the reactions of others"I agree. this topic was discussed in my class a little. I remember my teacher saying " Your freedom begins when other people's ends" example; You say something that might offend the person next to you. you can either throw caution to the side or not speak so freely around that person whom you've offended.
John Ashton
Apr 25 2013: But couldn't it be argued that the choice itself is freedom? you still had the choice to throw caution to the side or limit what you say, and no one else made it for you. I think freedom is always there no matter if you live in a dictatorship or a democracy, because freedom is being able to make choices based on what you want. for example if you live in a dictatorship you can choose to fight or to obey. The choices may not always great but they are still your choices to make. So i guess freedom would be up to each individual to decide on how free they are.
- +3
Apr 25 2013: I agree John, that having choices is a freedom. If we are aware of limitations or restrictions due to laws, regulations and rules, we make choices within those constructs.
Like I used to tell the guys in jail who often said it was "unfair" of the cops and courts to send them to jail for an offense. When we live in a society, there are usually certain rules and regulations. We have the choice to break those rules and regulations, or, abide by the rules and regulations. That is a free choice. It's like you say John.....we can choose to fight, or obey.
Personally, I believe I have a great deal of freedom of choice. Part of that is due to the fact that I live in a free country, in a free state, and I do not intend to commit offenses that may threaten my freedom.
Another part of the picture for me, is that I was taught from the time I was a child that there are consequences with the choices we make. The more information we have about consequences related to the choices, the more freedom we may feel.
Ben Jarvis
Apr 26 2013: very good point colleen. too often the blame is misplaced. people say they "hate cops" when perhaps it's more likely it's the person who gave the police their orders that they're angry at.Apr 26 2013: Well said, John.
- +1
You are free if you decide you are free.
When it comes to the choice between to fight or to obey - in a free world, whatever the system, its name or definition, you can actually chose both at the same time.
It's a positive development that we are given the ability to make this choice, but it's only positive if what we're fighting for is something worthwile and that our fight is a good one.
The internet gives us this ability.
Apr 26 2013: i'd disagree, freedom is not subjective. idealised bondage is not freedom.Apr 28 2013: Ben,
I think our perception of freedom is subjective.....don't you? If we are imprisoned, then it is obvious that we are physically restricted or limited.
Regarding your other comment....
"Ben Jarvis
1 day ago: very good point colleen. too often the blame is misplaced. people say they "hate cops" when perhaps it's more likely it's the person who gave the police their orders that they're angry at."
I also observed, with the offenders I worked with, that they were often angry at and frustrated with themselves. They did not feel that they were free to make choices for themselves. They often expressed the idea that they were being pushed along, or pulled along in this world and had no control.Apr 26 2013: Hi Ben,
"i'd disagree, freedom is not subjective. idealised bondage is not freedom."
I believe it is subjective - think about a person confined to a wheelchair, something that many perceive as a substantial restriction of freedom. This person can still feel free despite this adversity and doesn't need to idealise it.

Apr 26 2013: That's a good question. I believe that freedom is more of a noun because while freedom is an idea its not so much an action. It could fit well as a pronoun because freedom can be used to describe many actions, such as living free. However if I had to choose anything to attribute to freedom I would say that freedom is more of a symbol.
I say this because freedom is different from person to person just as a symbol means something different for each person. Take the US seal for example. The picture of the bald eagle in the seal could mean honor and strength to one person and truth and majesty to another. Is one persons interpretation more correct than the other? No, its just that each person attributes the symbol to what's most important in their life.
Freedom is the same way. To me freedom is the ability to make a choice based on what you want, but to someone else freedom could mean not being ruled over and forced to do things. Neither of us is wrong because freedom is relative to each personApr 29 2013: No John, because the person is still bound by the options presented. in this case none of us are free. Funny how beings who have never had something visualize so much and lst after it so much.Apr 25 2013: Thanks Don
I make no judgement on how many of us can achieve mastery of certain states of being, just congratulations to any who do.
Mastery of unconditional love is a big achievement... Social media may hold some good information, personal work such as meditation is a great path to freedom.
Apr 25 2013: Personal works such as meditation is one of the way to really understand that you are not fully free. But you will look to all this with another eye. Plus, I do not consider meditation as one of the best personal works.
Apr 25 2013: Awareness is a key to change and meditation is certainly a pathway to awareness..
Thats great you are clear on your beliefs about meditation.
Meditation has certainly been a great life enhancing process for me and a big help on my path to freedom.
Apr 25 2013: Meditation is a powerful tool, but it has temptation as many things have, in this case escape from reality. Therefore we must use it accurately, deliberately. From my experience, meditation is not the single way to awareness. But, there are many kinds of meditations...Apr 24 2013: Freedom means a state of being where you are free to act and think without forsaking the responsibility of your actions and thoughts to yourself and everybody else.Apr 24 2013: Freedom means people who can understand each other,be kind,be generous,respect,justice
Apr 25 2013: Hi Edulover:>)
I agree with you that understanding, kindness and respect are good foundations for freedom. If we cannot connect with our own freedom of choices, we cannot connect with the freedom of choices others have either.
Pabitra insightfully reinforces this thought with his comment...

Apr 30 2013: I have found a complete and logical definition of freedom written in the Bible: Everything that can be is a result of what is. Everything that is is a result of God's creation. God did not make sin but chose to give us the responsibility of free choice (the equal potential to love or to hate, for example). Everything that exists has laws. So, there is no "absolute freedom" without natural consequence or moral judgement against a predefined set of laws which existed from creation. Freedom, therefore, is defined by the limit of law (or what is left - love, charity, kindness, patience, humility, peace, joy, etc... against which there is no law to limit). Furthermore, all this is externally imposed (natural law), but there is a deeper freedom which is imposed from within. The more you understand the weight of responsibility that freedom brings within 'natural law', the less free you choose to make yourlself (you quickly learn you can't win a boardgame of life if you don't play by the rules). So, the more externally free you think you are, the more inwardly ignorant you may be. The more internal law you impose upon your own self through self realization, the more internally and externally free you become as you literally then let who you are change your external circumstances instead of letting circumstance change who you are.Apr 30 2013: Freedom is... The necessity to be left to your own devices. To be given the ability to not only succeed but also to fail, not only to help each other but to be abandoned by them. It is a trust of humanity in its resilience and is not given by other humans but by the very fact of existence. It must be protected at all costs.Apr 30 2013: As I thought a bit after my first post here, need to add something more
Ability / intension / desire of acting /standing against anything unjust /discriminative is also one's FREEDOM
Comment deleted
Apr 30 2013: Hi Don
Thanks for your interest , let me combine both of posts here to make one whole definition
Doing / acting / expressing / believing anything without impacting others negatively and also having the ability /intension / desire of acting/standing against anything unjust / discrminative .Apr 30 2013: Hi Don
You are welcome.
Could I communicate , what I wanted to mean ?
If, yes then it's fine with me. In school I didn't like memorizing "Definition" as written in book , instead interested more in understanding what " Definition" mean....In many instances my teachers were not happy with that so you know what could happen to my score :)
May be here I again repeated by instinct habit.
Have a good dayApr 30 2013: I agree with all you say and would like to add - the internet gives you all of that.
Apr 30 2013: Thanks Anna.
Well Internet enabled us to deliver most of the points I mentioned , except one, which is point that need one's physical presence to execute .
CheersApr 28 2013: My dear! Colleen, l'espressione 'il pensiero ritorna sul pensiero', ossia la consapevolezza, significa, in chiave operativa, rendere il pensiero oggetto di studio al fine di descrivere ed analizzare nei dettagli minimi le operazioni mentali che svolgiamo quando pensiamo, parliamo, osserviamo et similia . Alludo alla lezione di I.Kant, ripresa nel secolo scorso da S.Ceccato. Auguri dal cuore.Apr 28 2013: Freedom is a state of mind.In the truest sense you are free, if you don't have to be afraid. An absence of fear, I think that would do it.Apr 28 2013: J am sorry, because J speak English a little J shall talk italian language.
Se si tiene conto delle operazioni mentali costitutive della libertà- intesa non in senso metafisico- abbiamo il potere di alternativa (che richiede una scelta), seguito dal potere di capacità (ossia l'essere in grado di mantenere la scelta compiuta). Infine la volontà può essere sempre vista dietro l'azione libera. Grazie della Vostra attenzione.
Apr 28 2013: Grazie Ghiringhelli,
Sono d'accordo con la "scelta". Quando siamo consapevoli dei nostri pensieri e il fatto che abbiamo scelte, può portare ad una maggiore comprensione della libertà?Apr 28 2013: Freedom is being able to think what tickles my fancy and being able to share my thoughts with others.Apr 28 2013: I think freedom is relative. If you use the definition of freedom as in 'I can go anywhere I want', this is also the case. For example, if you give an animal in the zoo a large enough cage, it will feel free. If you now take that idea to our world, you can state that for the moment, we live in a cage, namely the Earth.
We practically can not go much further than our world, maybe in a few years, other planets, but for a normal person, the Earth is the limit. So, do we feel free to go where we want? Yes, because the world is large enough cage to move in, so we don't notice the limits.
Apr 28 2013: Good point Brecht, and I agree that freedom is relative. If we believe there is no freedom, perhaps we build our own cage?
Your profile looks like you are new to TED conversations? Welcome:>)
Apr 28 2013: Yes, I am new :) Thank you!
You have a point there, if we think we aren't free, i think that we would also act to it.

Apr 28 2013: Freedom is a social construct therefor to generalise it would be incorrect. We all have different levels of freedom depending on how well we have discovered ourselves and the worlds around us.
- +1
To me, freedom is being able to wake up in the morning and decide on my mood, my actions and my beliefs. However to that freedom there are constraints, these can vary tremendously from person to person - culture to culture - class to class. It would be nice to think of a world where we were all free, but we are trapped within the grasps of societies judgmental views. We would not behave in an publicly unacceptable way because we are conditioned not to as society and those within it would frown upon us. Yet surely this is for a reason and our own benefit and safety?
The level of freedom I have in my life is relatively high simply because I let it be. Hopefully you all view yourselves as being free to some extent or another.

Apr 27 2013: Can you be free while being a POW or in jail wrongfully accused?
- +1
Apr 28 2013: Good question Rich!
Those situations don't "feel" very free do they.
I've read about POWs and listened to survivors of concentration camps. While they were obviously restricted and limited regarding freedom of movement, some of them express a feeling that nobody could take away their freedom to think and feel as they choose. I think it has been mentioned on this thread, that there are different levels and perceptions of freedom.
Being imprisoned obviously takes away some of our freedoms. Can any situation take away our freedom to think and feel as we choose?Apr 28 2013: What is "you" in this case?

Do you think/feel that in human form, we can create or experience fear being absent with no chance of return?
I believe fear can be absent at various times....maybe even most of the time. My feeling is that fear is part of the human experience, and I cannot imagine being human and NEVER feeling any type of fear whatsoever. What is your thought/feeling about that?
Salman Asad
Apr 27 2013: Freedom is an abstract idea. Its like the Jetsons in the 1970s. Its nice to look at, feels good, a pleasure for the auditory and visual senses, opens up the human imagination continuum but it doesn't really exist. I think it was a sage who was once asked: "how much freedom do humans have?". He answered by requesting the questioner to raise up one of his legs. Then he asked him to raise the other one simultaneously.
- +1
So all the freedom a human being really has is the choice between which leg to raise up and when. The how and the why really becomes irrelevant. The question is not what freedom means or what it should. I think what really matters is the state of mind a human being exists in. I say, if any human being has the emotional capability and intellectual capacity to break free from the chains of preconceived notions and ideas infinitely, and think and rationalize anew, for me, that would be the ultimate freedom even if i were living in a 4 by 6 cell in a prison.
Being intellectually stunted and emotionally repressed is the worst form of tyranny and oppression.Apr 27 2013: I believe freedom is the inner ability to be able to do whatever one chooses. It may be to achieve a lifelong passion, this could be to write a book, to travel, etc. Of course within that freedom you as an individual have to consider the parameters of morality, legality and concern for your fellow man/woman. Freedom is not a free for all attitude it is a gift.Apr 27 2013: "People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be."

'Live and Let live'.
Simple.Apr 26 2013: Freedom to me is the ability to live subject only to those rules you impose on yourself. It differs from anarchy and chaos by responsibility for both causes and effects of one's actions or inactions, and acceptance of the subsequent consequenses. The concept is frightning to most because there's no ability to control the actions of another under this model but then again under this model that control falls squarely on the shoulders of the individual. Along with the fall out.Apr 26 2013: Pure freedom is the lack of constraint. It occupies a variety of dimensions and realities that are not simultaneous. We could be free of intellectual constraints; free of physical restraints; free of emotional constraints; but not necessarily all of those things at the same time. For me, freedom represents the ability to be independent, to be free to speak as I wish without fear of reprisal from those more powerful than I, and to be able to move about the world. I choose restraints and constraints to my freedom and independence because I care about my community and my environment and my people. Unconstrained freedom is the big bang. After that, it's all relative.

Rated 4.1 out of 5�by 116 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Jehr Okay for the price I started using calf sleeves after suffering a torn calf muscle last year, and I've had a strain in the other calf too. I have 5 sets of calf sleeves right now. I have these, a set from Zensah, some CEPs, Addidas, and a pair from 2XU. I wear them while working out, and for recovery. First off, let me say that I highly recommend the use of compression sleeves for anyone with calf or shin problems. They really do help. That said, I think many of the reviews on here are based more on the benefit of wearing a calf sleeve, and really don't rate these as they relate to other calf sleeves. These, to me, are like knee-high socks without the feet. They don't provide nearly the compression that the other sets that I have bought do, but they are better than nothing. They are significantly cheaper though. These were around $15. The addidas were around $25 or so when I bought them, and the others are typically in the $40-50 range. One thing I like about these...they're straight black. No logos or other markings. I'm in the Army, and when we do physical training, we're not supposed to have anything with logo markings showing on our uniforms. Since these don't provide quite the support that the others do, but they're the only ones that I can wear, I usually wear these over the tops of other pairs. I have 17.5" calfs, so I wore large. They're just a hair tight when putting them over one of the others, but they still fit (barely). After about four months though, the stitching on the top seam came undone, so now the top is compromised on these. I haven't seen the slightest sign of wear from the others. To be fair, I just got the 2XUs so I haven't really broken them in. I've had the others for anywhere from 2-8 months. If I had to rank them based on compression, support, and durability, I'd rank them like this: 1) Zensah, 2) 2XU (still evaluating though, but initial impressions are good), 3) CEP (1, 2, and 3 are very close), 4) Addidas, and far, far behind at #5 would be these. But these are anywhere from half to one third the price of the others. For $15, they're not bad. If you're active enough to need something like this so you can keep working while recovering from an injury though, then I would recommend paying the extra 30 bucks or so for one of the first three brands.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Tina First time without Shin Splints This was my 5th time walking in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day. In all of the previous walks I suffered shin splints so I bought this product hoping that I could escape the pain that I experienced in the past. This is the first time that I did not have shin splints during the 3 day. I will wear this product everytime that I am joggin/walking. October 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by MACHETE Compression Sleeve Was having some soreness from running in Minimalist shoes, the compression sleeves seem to be helping. I didn't want to invest too much money, so I thought I'd try these first. July 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by CoolRunner These Can't Possibly Work Can They? You betta believe they do! I get some pretty awful shin splints from running and I was skeptical that something like this would work. I tried them on and immediately noticed a difference. These things provide support and my legs don't hurt nearly as bad while walking or running. Healing time is also reduced when I wear them. My legs no longer hurt for weeks or months after a run. I have confidence that I can get back in there and start running on a regular basis again without causing severe injury. I highly recommend these. They do work very well. November 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by djung42 Great product for the price Compression sleeves and socks to be in vogue. What I like about these calf sleeves are they are light weight, extremely breathable, and priced right. I wear them when I go running, cycling, or at night after playing basketball. I used to get calf cramps when I slept on nights where I worked out pretty hard during the day. Wearing these on those sort of night, I haven't had any calf cramps. If you've ever had your calf harden up on you in the middle of a dead sleep, that alone might be worth looking into these. Your mileage may vary. January 26, 2015

unlimited booze - 5 pts. (hiccup)

library and study with every book ever published - 4 pts. (entertainment)
I'm gonna eat, party, bang, and read for 10 years ... then collect $5,000,000.00 (35 points)

This panorama, taken by James Blakeway, captures the college ice hockey game between long-time rivals - the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. The match-up, known as "The Big Chill at the Big House," was held at Michigan Stadium on December 11, 2010. The event set a new world record for the largest crowd at an outdoor ice hockey game with attendance of 113,411. The past record set in May 2010, at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championship game, was 77,803. This is the second outdoor ice hockey game to be played between the two storied programs. The first game, also a resounding success, occurred in 2001 and was referred to as the "Cold War."
Welcome to Michigan's main event of December 2010! This spectacular poster features a breathtaking view of the phenomenal "Big Chill", packing Michigan Stadium with hockey fans. From the temporary ice rink in the middle of the familiar football field below, to the massive crowd, to the scoreboards, video screens, and surrounding scenery, it's all here - the entire scene from the stadium, looking absolutely fantastic for your wall. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official game logo, the commemorative title, and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of anyone who wants to remember this legendary event!

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Many independent measurements have established that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Geologists have found annual layers in glaciers that can be counted back 740,000 years. Using the known rate of change in radio-active elements (radiometric dating), some Earth rocks have been shown to be billions of years old, while the oldest solar system rocks are dated at 4.6 billion years. Astronomers use the distance to galaxies and the speed of light to calculate that the light has been traveling for billions of years. The expansion of the universe gives an age for the universe as a whole: 13.7 billion years old.
(Updated April 16, 2012)
Fine-tuning refers to the surprising precision of nature's physical constants, and the beginning state of the Universe. To explain the present state of the universe, even the best scientific theories require that the physical constants of nature and the beginning state of the Universe have extremely precise values.

|Snowshoe Marathon Race March 8 in Pittsfield VT
Peak Adventures is a Vermont company that puts on extreme races several times a year. Their snowshoe marathon is coming up next weekend on Saturday March 8 starting at 8:00 am in Pittsfield VT.
The course is a 6.5 mile loop with 7,200 feet of elevation change along ungroomed and snowmobile trails. See the topo map on the website for more detail. The marathon runs four loops, the half marathon runs two loops, and there is a one loop fun run for those who just want to give snowshoeing a try. There is a ten hour time limit for all racers.
For beginners: I can tell you from personal experience that running in snowshoes takes twice the exertion of road running so plan accordingly! It's not enough to be in good shape. You have to be in great shape.
You can register online at peakraces.com and click the link to runrace.net or register that morning at the General Store in Pittsfield from 5:30 to 7:30 am. Registration costs $75 and includes a beanie hat and the post race meal.
The post race celebration begins at 6:30 pm and includes lobster and shrimp dinner, "plenty" of Long Trail beer, the awards ceremony ($1200 for the marathon only to the top three men and women - $300 for 1st place, $200 for 2nd place, and $100 for third place; plus unique finishers awards for everyone and a special award for top three male and top three female in the marathon and half marathon).

It's your only heart. Or maybe it's your spouse's or your parent's only heart. For all those important hearts that are close to your heart, you want only the best in cardiac care. But how do you know which heart hospital is the best?
How about listening to what HealthGrades®, a national independent healthcare rating organization, has to say?
HealthGrades has ranked the Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital "Best (#1) in Connecticut for Overall Cardiac Services" for 2006.
In particular, Bridgeport Hospital received Five-Star Ratings for
Coronary Interventional Procedures (opening blocked heart arteries)
Treatment of Heart Attack
Treatment of Heart Failure
Treatment of
Atrial Fibrillation
(faulty heart rhythm)
More than 40 years of experience have raised the Heart Institute at Bridgeport Hospital to a higher level than any other hospital in Fairfield County. Other hospitals may build and promote their cardiac programs, but they cannot buy or replicate the success that comes from working – for four decades – as a finely tuned machine. These years of experience, offered only by the Bridgeport Hospital Heart Institute team, are priceless!

Just wanted to let you guys know how awesome my experience has been so far!
I wandered into the shop a few weeks ago itching to buy my first mountain bike. I was told by a friend that the guys at the shop would be able to help me make the right decision. Immediately upon arrival I was welcomed warmly by Andy Steinhauer. He's a super nice guy with seemingly endless knowledge about the sport. He quickly assessed my needs and made several recommendations as to which bike was right for me. He also took my measurements to ensure that we order the perfect size bike. I left with a solid foundation of basic knowledge and a decision to make. I returned a few days later to order my 2011 Trek 3700 disc. Not even a week later Andy S. called me to inform me that the bike was ready! I made my way to the shop and test rode the bike and both Andy's adjusted the bike to fit me perfectly! I left an extremely happy customer! I had the opportunity to ride the bike over the weekend and took it back to the shop a few days later to have it checked out and adjusted as needed. Simply put, the guys of Montgomery Multisport are awesome! They never once tried to up-sale me or recommend something I didn't need. They made the entire experience unforgettable! I will definitely return to the shop for all my cycling needs!
Very Respectfully,
Steven Harris
Montgomery, AL

My family and I have a new favorite place: Glisson Vineyards and Winery. To be more specific…their "tasting room" downtown Paducah KY. With hand-made tiles made by a local artist, the front of the building gives you a hint of the unique experience you will have upon stepping inside.
Rows of locally-made wine line the shelves and for only $5, you can taste each of their 7 wines (and you get a glass to keep!) From white wines (like their "Chardonnel") to their "Blackberry" wine (and everything in between) — You are sure to find something you love!
And, if you're looking for something a little different, the lovely Katie Glisson (owner) would love to mix you up a wine-a-rita – their own spin on "mixed drinks."
It's frozen and fabulous!
While their wine is enough to make the stop worthwhile, be sure to check out the local-artists' work on display.
The goodness doesn't stop there, though. You see, the Glissons also have cheese platters, bread and oil, and specialty chocolate trays available.
And… special treats for the youngsters (alcohol-free) called "Minoritas."
The wine is exceptional, the service is kind and lovely, and the atmosphere is relaxing and upbeat!
I can't think of a better place to spend my Friday night. Or, Saturday for that matter…
Want more info?
They are located at: 126 Market House Square, Paducah, KY 42003
They are open Thurs – Saturday Noon – 7pm (sometimes later)
Call them at 1(270) 210-0930 for directions or to find out where else you can find their fabulous wines and inquire about any new promotions or bands/music.
(And if you head out their way, be sure to let them know "Boss Sanders" sent you!)
I'd love it if you stalked me (subscribe to my RSS feed). Thanks for visiting!

INDIANAPOLIS – In light of the massive storm system that pounded the East Coast this week, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller warns Hoosiers to be on guard against possible scam artists who might seek to profit off the Hurricane Sandy disaster.
First, beware of individuals posing as representatives of cable TV companies or Internet service providers who might call and claim customers will receive a billing credit due to supposed outages caused by Hurricane Sandy and then ask for the customer's bank account information. Such fraudulent calls are known as "phishing" scams. To avoid identity theft or fraudulent withdrawals from their bank accounts, consumers should never give their account information over the phone to anyone unless the consumer initiates the call.
For more information on how to detect identity theft, protect one's credit and repair any damage once done, consumers can visit this link on the Attorney General's Office web site: the ID Theft Prevention Toolkit: www.indianaconsumer.com/idtheft/.
Although the widespread damage, flooding and power outages Sandy inflicted might prompt generous Hoosiers to donate to relief efforts, Zoeller warns the public to verify first that relief organizations are reputable, so that they aren't scammed. He suggests researching the website www.CharityNavigator.org to check whether a charity uses donations for intended purposes.
"When natural disasters strike Indiana, our neighbor states or other nations, Hoosiers always respond selflessly with donations. The best way to maximize their generosity is to donate smartly and wisely to established, transparent disaster-relief charities," Zoeller said.
Here are a few simple tips for donating, to avoid being scammed:

Duchess of Langeais (Ne touchez pas la hache)
Antoinette is the Duchess of Langeais, a married coquette who frequents the most extravagant balls in 1820's Paris during The Restoration, where hypocrisy and vanity reign. Upon his first meeting with her, the handsome general Armand de Montriveau realizes it is true love from that moment on. Flattered by his attentions, the alluring Antoinette orchestrates a calculating game of seduction, but she repeatedly refuses Montriveau. Despite his sincere romantic declarations, Montriveau's passion remains unfulfilled. When the humiliated Montriveau eventually seeks his revenge, Antoinette's love awakens. But it may well be too late for the star-crossed lovers.
