Rated 5 out of 5 by 1031Gal from Love these shoes! I have the Blue Exotic, and I have received compliments every time I've worn them for how stylish and unique they look. Primarily worn them to work, though they would look great with jeans as well. They are surprisingly comfortable despite the high heel - something I always respect with Rockport. They do run big, and I actually had to go down to a size 9 (regularly wear 9.5 - 10), though I do have a narrow foot. Love them!

Rated 4 out of 5 by ReggaeAmbassador from Beautiful I am typically an 11N but can sometimes go down to a 10 in heels. The 11s were HUGE on me (practically walked out of them in the first steps), and even the 10's were a bit too long. I couldn't size down any further because it would have squeezed my toes on the sides too much. I have long toes and I still had to stuff tissues into the front of the 10s. Also, I thought these would have more some amount of cushioning, but no :( . With that said, I've just started working again after 3 years and have been completely out of the habit of wearing heels but I had no problem making it through the days with these. AND the color (sparrow) is absolutely TO DIE FOR!!!! The picture doesn't do it justice, at least on my screen. I was expecting a grey. These were more of a taupe with a hint of purple. Looked amazing and made me feel like I was kicking butt and taking names! I am back to order the tan color in the correct size.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jaykay from Fantastic booties at a discount from Piperlime pri I originally saw the Presia Zip Shootie (purple taupe) on Piperlime (by Rockport) and fell in love with the pair instantanous! (Un)fortunately, they had run out of my size on Piperlime. So I checked Rockport just to see if they had the same shoes listed in my size. Not ONLY did they have my size, the pair sold on Rockport's site was $20 cheaper. Never again, Piperlime... :) I love them, have received several compliments, and the taupe purple shade is to die for!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MissSixty from Elegant and comfort I own the leopard pair of the zip shootie, which I really pair with everything....It looks great casually and formally. The last time I wore them was at a very special occasion of mine and the shoe stood out and out-shined my dress. The shoes are also sooo comfortable, which makes them even better :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by LuvLocal24 from Hot shooties I was looking for a leopard shootie and found just what I was looking for in these. I was hoping that they would be more comfortable than usual high heels but they are not. Nevertheless, I was going for style vs. comfort anyway and maybe after fully breaking them in they will be. Overall, a major score.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Pinkcleo from Uncomfortable! I gave these shoes 3 stars because they're beautiful, but I had the shoe on for about 30 seconds. There is no padding under the toe area like many of their heels, so it made the instep too steep.....for me anyway. I felt like I could have fallen forward. Wear these all day.....no way.

No Catholic vote here...
Arguably the most identifiably Catholic (for the wrong reasons, many would argue) justice on the Supreme Court is Antonin Scalia, and he spoke to Tim Russert in an MSNBC interview Sunday about the impact of his faith on his jurisprudence. It ain't much, apparently, and ought to beenough to get him tossed out off any self-respecting Catholic campus. No?
RUSSERT: And we are back talking to Antonin Scalia, justice of the Supreme Court. Hes co-author of his new book, Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges.
You went to Villanova University in Philadelphia recently and said theres no such thing as a Catholic judge. You happen to be Catholic. Explain why theres no such thing as a Catholic judge.
SCALIA: The same reason theres no such thing as ayou know, in my estimation, no such thing as a female judge. I mean, a good judge is a good judge. And at least if you have my judicial philosophy, which is to give the fairest possible meaning to the text that youre dealing with. And when youre dealing with the Constitution, you ask the question, what did it mean when the people adopted it? And once you find that, the case is done. How does my religion have anything to do with what those words mean and what they were understood to mean by the people who ratified them? Obviously nothing at all. So the onlyI may have said that at Villanova the only part of my faith that has any play in my judicial enterprise is whatever commandment it issixthThou Shalt Not Lie.
RUSSERT: You describe yourself as an originalist.
SCALIA: Originalist.
RUSSERT: Which means?
SCALIA: Which means I give the Constitution its original meaning. And what it prohibited then it prohibits now. And what it permitted then it permitted now. So, you know, for example, the death penalty. If youre an originalist, the issue of whether the death penalty is unconstitutional is really a non-issue.
RUSSERT: Why?
SCALIA: Because it isit wasit was the only penalty for a felony at the time the Constitution was adopted. Nobody ever thought that the Constitution branded the death penalty as cruel and unusual punishment. It just didnt.
RUSSERT: Is it different for Catholic legislators when the church will say you should not be voting for abortion rights, or the church feels this way on the issue of stem-cell research or the death penalty than it is for a Catholic judge?
SCALIA: It may well be. Ive always been happy that Im a judge. And all I have to do is look at the law. What does it say? Tell the truth about what it says, and thats my job. It would be harder for me as a legislator.
I didn't realize the bench was a zone of amorality. Makes it easier to sleepat night.

An interesting discussion. I am reminded of the debate among some Catholic philosophers concerning the issue of whether there is such a thing as a 'Catholic' philosophy'. Gilson argued that there was and as a historian identified it. Many other said there is not.Similarly is there a way of reading history that is uniquely Catholic. I believe that it was Levinas who said that ALL human history is sacred history. How do we read the world? Through what lens.FWIW, I tend to think that there is a Catholic consciousness and not all who profess adherence necessaily possess that consciousness but once given it informs all.
David:It seems to me that you are begging most of the central issues by implying that Scalia's position is amoral. I remember back in the mid-1970s, in the Nixon-Watergate mess, the claim was often made that "We are a nation of laws, not of men," and this was taken as a point of pride. I took this to mean that there are laws that bind all, including the law-makers, that there were given, constituted parameters within which office-holders are bound to operate, and that it is not up to them to decide these issues on personal or group grounds. If I should have a case in court, or perhaps especially if I should have a case brought against me in court, should I have to worry that the judge is Protestant or Jewish or Muslim or atheist? Or should I be able to count on the judge's reading the law as written, impartially, and reaching a decision on the merits of the case? Personally, I think that Scalia's position is unself-critical in that it seems to presume that the exegesis of original intent can go on with the objective inevitability of the measurement of temperature by a thermometer. In Bernard Lonergan's phrase, objectivity is the fruit of authentic subjectivity. But that need not alter the judgment, e.g., that, according to the Constitution, the death penalty does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. I really don't understand the argument that Catholic justices ought to conclude, because they are Catholic, that the Constitution forbids the death penalty. Should the five justices decide to overturn Roe v. Wade because they're Catholics? Judges are not legislators. I like the fact that there are justices who believe that their role is to interpret and to decide in the light of stated law--or Constitution.
Sounds good but Scalia did not look that honest when he handed Florida over to W Bush in 2000. The story goes that his wife was waiting with a celebratory cocktail when he arrived home. He is so competent that 673 lawyers filed a protest over his injunction to to stop the recount saying it would hurt George Bush. This may have been the worst moment in Supreme Court history and Scalia should be praised? His best response to the outrage was: "Get over it."Finally, as far as the constitution is concerned there is enough leeway in the history and the constitution to justify differing positions. But the vote in 2000 said it all. So much for the law.
Joe K: I get your point, and my starting point was a tweak at those (largely) conservative Catholics who trumpet justices like Scalia et al as the cure for what ails the country and a reason to vote for a Republican. Scalia (and he has made similar remarks in the past, though until he had a book to sell he would go ballistic on any journalistic caught trying to tape his speeches) would seem to be a pro-lifer's nightmare, not dream. He has said that even if Roe v. Wade was overturned, states should be free to provide any access to abortion they like, up to whenever they like. And that gets to your point regarding interpretation. I think everything is interpretation, even the seeming purism of the originalist. This is the same argument with biblical exegesis, no? What did Jesus really mean? What would the Founders do? Because we are confronted with issues they did not imagine. Must we wait for a constitutional amendment banning slavery to say slavery is wrong? Originalists are just offering a different form of development. I am no legal scholar by any stretch (and many here can weigh in with erudition, please), but I always remember the opening line from a real scholar on the Constitution who told those of us writing on church-state issues that "The Constitution is whatever the Supreme Court says it is." And history seems to have shown that to be the case. Esp on church-state issues. (Is Santa a religious or secular figure?)If you come before a judge with a case of civil or criminal law, the judge's religious and moral framework should in fact not matter. But when it comes to constittuional law, perhaps it should, and it certainly does. Hence black justices (Clarence Thomas being the exception who proves the rule) bring an appreciation of civil rights to the bench. If owmen justices are not important, why appoint them? Scalia is being disingenuous, I think. SCOTUS justices are political appointees, and political animals. He was, they all are. That's fine, actually. And Constitutional arguments are all about interpretation. "Cruel and unusual"? Because we did something 250 years ago, does that make it okay by today's moral standards? Or, as Benedict said when reinstituting the Latin Mass, "What was once holy in the church is always holy." Well, that's another topic...
What about Roe v. Wade? Should Church teaching on abortion settle that case in the SCOTUS?The analogy with the Scriptures is apt. But the twenty-seven books of the New Testament, the black marks on white paper that constitute letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, etc. remain what they are, and interpretation is always of them, not of something else. One may conclude, for example, that slavery ought to be prohibited and elininated, but it could not be because St. Paul thought so. He didn't. Perhaps the question is: How elastic is the Constitution? If it's infinitely elastic, then it's no longer a Constitution; it has no authority over-and-against statutory law. I think that is a big difference. Maybe we don't need a Constitution, but if we've got one, and want one, how ought it to differ from statutory law? Should it be as easy to change as the latter? I don't think that because people 250 years ago thought something was permitted that this means that "by today's moral standards," or perhaps more justly: "by the moral standards of some today," the death penalty should be retained. But that's what we have legislatures for. Would you be willing to put the Bill of Rights up for decision "by today's moral standards," say, by popular referendum? Would you want papal teaching on the matter to decide how far freedom of speech or the press should be carried?
David,It is not about amorality, but roles. Justice Scalia is simply identifying his role as a judge. His primary purpose is to interpret the law, not to make it. That was his point in distinguishing his role from a legislator's.I oppose the death penalty myself, but his interpretation of the eighth amendment is spot on. His point has nothing to do with whether the death penalty is right or worng morally, but that the constitution clearly contemplates its use, If capital punishment is to be eliminated it must be through the popularly elected branches - not judges. Even if you grant your point that we should use "today's moral standards," over 60% of Americans support the death penalty. Do judges have a special moral compass that lets them determine today's moral standards better than voters?
But when it comes to constittuional law, perhaps it should, and it certainly does. Hence black justices (Clarence Thomas being the exception who proves the rule) bring an appreciation of civil rights to the bench.You should read up a bit on that. Mark Tushnet's "Clarence Thomas's Black Nationalism," for example. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=437381 Or Angela Onwuachi-Willig's "Just Another Brother on the SCT?: What Justice Clarence Thomas Teaches Us About the Influence of Racial Identity" http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=638281
It is not about amorality, but roles.
Sean,I don't buy that. Why isn't it the role of Catholic elected officials to represent the will of their constituents (on abortion) rather than will of the Catholic Church? Why isn't it the role of Catholic doctors to abide by the Constitution and the rulings of the Supreme Court and perform abortions for women who ask for them? Why wasn't it a legitimate defense at Nuremberg to say, "We were only following orders"? I don't see how you can justify behavior merely by saying a person is playing a "role." It seems to me if you believe that the American way is a superior form of government, and that it is perfectly legitimate to have a secular government that assigns "roles" so that people with different belief systems can all live together in an orderly way, then you can legitimize the five Catholics on the Supreme Court allowing abortion to remain a constitutional right. But not just any role can justify making decisions that go against your own conscience, and it still seems to me no matter how legitimate the role is, there must be limits.As it now stands, you seem to accept the idea of "roles" for supreme court justice but not for anyone else, or at least not for anyone else when it comes to abortion. It seems perfectly reasonable to me that someone who really believes abortion is mass murder might say, "As a judge playing a role, I see nothing in the constitution prohibiting abortion, and indeed I see it as a constitutional right. But I cannot sit here and let my decision permit the continuation of all this killing. Consequently, I will resign rather than to let my decision--consistent though it is with my judicial philosophy and my reading of the constitution--make me complicit to a million plus killings a year."
the only part of my faith that has any play in my judicial enterprise is whatever commandment it issixthThou Shalt Not Lie.
Scalia doesn't even know the Ten Commandments!
Joe K et al: I don't think the Constitution is "infinitely elastic," nor should it be. On the other hand it does not answer every question, nor could it. I think the analogy to scripture continues to be apt. We can't change Holy Writ but we need to figure out how to adapt its tachings to new exigencies. Similarly, the Constitution didn't answer every question, but questions continue to arise. I think there's a peril in mixing apples and oranges. Roe v. Wade doesn't need a Catholic sensibility to get overturned, as it can be argued to have been a weak decision. But would you consider the third-trimester abortion of a healthy fetus killing a human being? If so, wouldn't you have to vote that such an act violates the Constitution? Or, moving to less superheated topics, what is the boundary on church-state separation as provided for by the Establishment Clause? The Constitution doesn't say, so justices have to tell us what they think. What about gun control, an issue currently awaiting a historic decision? What does the second amendment mean? That's a matter of interpretation. The ideology of originalism (as I'd see it, in jurisprudence as well as scripture studies--think the search for the historical Jesus) is also that it ignores precedent, or accepts only the precedents it likes. Again, the church analogy would be to the role played by tradition.
Does the idea of a judge merely playing a role apply in other countries? In the old Soviet Union and in Russia it may be the "role" of a judge to find dissidents mentally ill and lock them up. I think we are so thoroughly steeped in the idea of our constitutional democracy that we can't step outside it and objectively determine what a Catholic judge may and may not do. The "Faith and Freedom" readers old folks like me may remember from grade school were an integral part of our education back then to be as much American as we were Catholic.
Another point which might be addressed here: If one's faith or moral or ethical framework has no bearing on the law, why all the hullaballo from the right about getting "their" kind of judges on the bench? If they want "strict constructionists" or originalists in the Scalia mold, that's fine. They should focus on that. But they should also realize that brings no comfort on issues of gay marriage or abortion or much else if theirs is essentially a libertarian mindset. No?
Do judges have a special moral compass that lets them determine todays moral standards better than voters?
So the people, rather than judges, get to decide today's moral standards. But when certain issues are involved, Catholic legislators must go against the will of the people if they want to receive communion. So apparently the people aren't always the highest authority.
I think it would be helpful if folks defined what they mean by "justice" in our Court system nefore they talk about judges.Fr. Joe in recalling the nixon years understood the importance of impartyality.Maximum John Sirica was under intense pressure from the later criminal Mitchell and the Nixon office to uphold "executive priovlege" - a notion hardly enshrined in the originalist constitution.There was a sense of the role of the Republic and the fair governance thereof that operated.Today's paper brings news of McCain's promise to appoint strict constitutionalists, and the inproprities of Dr. Katz and pour whistleblower protector, Mr. Bloch -part of the GWB machine that seeks to stifle opposition to their ideology.Personally, I have no confidence in the "originalist" SCers to protect fairness, while those who support them seem to care about one issue only -which maybe they will or will not deliver on as discussed in other threads.
"The Constitution is whatever the Supreme Court says it is.But in fact, at any given moment, the Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is. The statement is not a philosophical admonition, it is a recognition of the effect of a Supreme Court decision that concerns the Constitution, because a Supreme Court decision can only be reversed or modified by the Supreme Court.
A judge who says she/he decides cases according to the highest priciples of right and wrong rather than according to the law as written and understood, to the extent that its meaning can be known, is arrogating to her/himself the role of philosopher queen/king. Or so it seems to me.
David,Much to respond to and not enough time. A few points -Scalia believes - as almost all American jurists historically did - that judges must apply neutral principles in performing their role. Legislators are not supposed to apply neutral principles, but are to effectively enact policy. Why the difference? Legislators can be removed from office through periodic elections and they or their successors can change the law. They can and should consider the will of their electors, but they are not bound to. I can criticize a Catholic legislator because he is a free agent.The same is not true of a judge. If a judge doesn't employ neutral principles in performing his duties, he can become a tyrant. If Scalia exercises his power from a Catholic perspective, what's to stop a judge from using a Fascist perspective or a Satanist perspective, or whatever.I didn't say the voters are right in their moral judgments, but that they have the role of reflecting moral judgments in law - judges don't. This doesn't mean that a judge is off the hook morally - for example if a judge uses his authority to send people to the gulag under color of law, his is morally culpable for that. But that's not the kind of neutrality Scalia is talking about.
I totally agree with Joe Gannon, though I'd like to hear his view on the matter in the NYT about the lawyer trying to clear a man from prison after his client, now dead, had admitted to the rime the other was imprisoned for.What I tried to point up is that there are many ionfluences on judges in meting out justice including political, but also their own power and discretion to name a few.Being under the microscope of "high profile cases" can certainly pressure one at the bench and it's easy enough to say follow the law, but real life experience as well fiction and drama say not always so easy.Even to the highest courts where rings of protestors can easily surround a courthouse or words from appointing officials be they mayor, governor, or evn president cam come into play.As our justice system continues to evolve, e.g. determinate sentencing, 3 strikes and you're out,etc. what transpires will be inflyuenced not only by the moral;ty that the puiblic thinks justice should involve, settles legal prionciples, but also lots of political pressure and, I dare say, a good size dollop of political manipulation.
Sean,Are you then saying that a Catholic legislator must always vote the way the Catholic Church says he must vote, but a judge must never follow Church teachings (except insofar as they coincide with settled law)?
Interesting discussion, thanks for the comments. Let me attempt to re-frame here with a question:If judges are simply neutral arbiters of the Constitution, why do we get split decisions and differing opinions and so many changes down through the years? If it is all so clear, the plain sense of a thing, then why do Scalia and Ginsberg (among others) have diametrically opposed views on many issues?
In Germany during the Nazi period judges upheld the right of the state not to extend property rights to non-Jews.Following that experience, the world community developed (with the assistance and vision of Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is a 'constitution' of sorts for the world community.Yet, Scalia's philosophy would not permit utilizing developments beyond the text of the constitution in terms of interpretation.Also, he dismisses legislative discussion stating that the only important element is the final text. Yet examing the history of legislation is an important dimension in determining intent.Take for example, the issue of slavery. The reason that it was not placed in the constitution was because they would not been able to achieve consensus on this issue. Thus the abolutionists suggested that it be left out specifically and succeeeding generations could address the issue which was done post-civil war in the form of a constitutional amendment. But that amendment was hardly arrived at by dispassionate genteel reflection and dialogue!!! I think that this debate is similar to the debate around Modernism in the Catholic church in the 20th century concerning exegesis. The text itself is meaningless without an interpreter. The text helps to guide interpretation as does successive interpretation but it need not be determinative. There is also the issue of intuition regarding why the framers expressed the text in the way they did. This involves imbibing the same spirit that they had (which was a religious spirit but a Protestant religious spirit fuelled by naturalism and the romanticism of the eighteenth century).Scalia dismisses the view that we can 'divine' the intent of the founders and must look at the plain meaning of the text. But as Joe K mentioned above this is naive and unself critical.As for why Ginsberg and Scalia come out differently, one would have to read their rationale. Ginsberg is not a strict constructionist and may not even be a constructionist at all. And being a strict constructionist should not be a pre-requisite for the bench.I do agree with Scalia that 5-4 decisions are a sign of health for the bench.
PSOne point I agree with is that at the end of the day it is all about politics. I tend to take, at least provisionally at the moment, the position that the law itself is a tool of politics and always has been.There is a bit of mythologizing of the constitution among Americans just as there was mythologizing of the monarchs in European history (e.g. the Divine right of Kings). We have done away with that but replaced it in the US with the Divine right of the constitution.
The comments above on Scalia & Ginsberg reminded me of a passage in the best-seller Supreme Conflict by Jan Crawford Greenburg, which I am currently reading."And Ginsberg was no bomb thrower. In her 12 years on the DC-based federal appeals court, she developed a reputation as a careful, measured judge and was widely respected by conservatives and liberals as a skillful technician. Even those who disagreed with her respected her approach. She also didn't let ideology get in the way of her relationships with her colleagues: Antonin Scalia had become a good friend when they served together on the appellate court, and they remained close, even regularly celebrating New Year's Eves together with their spouses..." (168).Just an aside, but interesting nonetheless because, according to Greenburg, the justices work on their own and it could be a very lonely job sometimes. The book makes many interesting comments about other justices too. O'Connor, for example, faciliated so that the justices have lunch together. Or, Breyer brought a gregarious presence to the Court, unlike Blackmun before that was something of a mild cold to his colleagues. When Thomas made his post-confirmation to Blackmun, the older justice was "frosty" to his new colleague. On the contrary, Thomas spent 3 hours with Marshall, "a renowned story-teller." This visit "ended with a piece of advice from the liberal legend. "I had to do what I had to do in my time," Marshall told Thomas. "You have to do what you have to do in your time."" (112). The book makes clear too that it wasn't Scalia that influenced Thomas, as assumed by the media at the time, but more of the other way around.
I have seen judges told in no uncertain terms that if they did not vote a certain way they could forget about being elected. And we should not think that judges for life are immune. All travel in certain cirlces and it would be impossible for some to survive ignoring the party's dictums. The exceptions do prove the rule.Worth repeating again George D. "One point I agree with is that at the end of the day it is all about politics. I tend to take, at least provisionally at the moment, the position that the law itself is a tool of politics and always has been.There is a bit of mythologizing of the constitution among Americans just as there was mythologizing of the monarchs in European history (e.g. the Divine right of Kings). We have done away with that but replaced it in the US with the Divine right of the constitution."
Certainly language can acquire new meanings with time and change. What we would now call "cruel and unusual" especially "cruel" is hardly the same as what one would have called "cruel and unusual" two hundred years ago. Should judges not be allowed to attend to these changes in interpreting the law? Unfortunately there is a fine line, hard often to discern, between recognizing well established changes of value--say, about what is cruel--and judging according to one's personal values because one believes they represent "progress", a progress which one believes surely will be, but must admit has not yet been, generally achieved.
I'll take a stab at David Gibson's question from earlier today:"If judges are simply neutral arbiters of the Constitution, why do we get split decisions and differing opinions and so many changes down through the years? If it is all so clear, the plain sense of a thing, then why do Scalia and Ginsberg (among others) have diametrically opposed views on many issues?"I think most judges rise to the task when they get on the bench. I don't know that there is really any such thing as completely neutral, and certainly a judge's life experiences will enter into how he or she views evidence and issues, for example, but most try to be unbiased and fair. Why so many split decisions and differing opinions? Leaving constitutional text aside for now, part of the reason for differences in opinion has to do with what the legislators dump in a judge's lap. Statutes are often fraught with ambiguities. This shouldn't be all that surprising. There may be one version of a bill being debated in one part of a bicameral legislature, and another version of the same bill being debated in the other part. If the bills pass in their respective parts of the legislature, they have to go to a committee to see if they can be reconciled. If they are reconciled, they get voted on again in both parts of the legislature. Ambiguities and vague words and phrases can easily creep into a statute as it goes through multiple drafts and compromises. Some statutes have sections that set forth definitions of key words and phrases. These can be very helpful, but the definitions can contain their own ambiguities, too.Heres an example: Suppose a judge is faced with deciding whether a litigant is entitled to benefits under a statute, and the issue turns on whether the litigant filed a "claim" under the statute. The statute may contain a definition of the word claim that is dispositive of its meaning in the litigation. But if there is no definitional section, the judge has to see how the word is used in the context of the statute to determine if the plain meaning of the word is clear. The judge may also see if there are other instances of the words use in the statute. But suppose such textual review is not very helpful. The judge then turns to the legislative history of the statute, looking for legislative debates, comments, or documents that might shed light on how the legislators intended the word claim to be construed. Often there are conflicting comments about the meaning of a term, especially in instances where different versions of a bill had to go to committee for reconciliation. In such an instance, the judge may be forced to decide which meaning best expresses the intent of the legislators. Often there is no comment or debate about a word in a statute. The judge may have to turn to other jurisdictions that have a similar statute, or the judge may have to turn to a dictionary, or to some other secondary source. Thus, it is easy to see how fair, unbiased, and well meaning judges can sometimes come to conclusions about statutory interpretation that are diametrically opposed. The same is true to a great extent for constitutional interpretation. Most amendments to our federal Constitution have a lot of legislative history that can be consulted. However, the body of the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments to the Constitution), in general have less legislative history. James Madison did a good job taking notes at the Constitutional Convention, but he didnt get everything down. We also have the Federalist Papers to shed light on the meaning of some constitutional provisions. Still, determining the framers original intent is not always an easy task, and its harder still at times to fit circumstances the framers never dreamed of (e.g., issues involving electronic data) into the four corners of the document itself. Thats why well always have a dynamic tension between jurists like Justice Scalia who focus on original intent and strict construction, and jurists who believe the Constitution must have enough elasticity to address new circumstances.
Your argument above about Scalia is fallacious. I would recommend Avery Cardinal Dulles' article on Capital Punishment (FIRST THINGS) to see the history of CP in the Church. After reading this, you will see the comparison between CP and abortion is a non sequiter. Here is Ratzinger (prior to becoming Pope) in his letter on receiving communion. This was fro the Congregation of Faith, not a personal letter:3. Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. For example, if a Catholic were to be at odds with the Holy Father on the application of capital punishment or on the decision to wage war, he would not for that reason be considered unworthy to present himself to receive Holy Communion. While the Church exhorts civil authorities to seek peace, not war, and to exercise discretion and mercy in imposing punishment on criminals, it may still be permissible to take up arms to repel an aggressor or to have recourse to capital punishment. There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia. From a memorandum sent by Cardinal Ratzinger to Cardinal McCarrick, made public in the first week of July 2004.] Worthiness to Receive Holy Communion -- General PrinciplesThat is what the Catholic Church teaches. Equating the sanctity of a mass murderer with an unborn child is ridiculous (by the way, I am pretty much against CP). I think you should read the bios of these killers (slit throats, violent rapes, torture, mass killings, etc.) before coming to a conclusion. http://www.clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/usexecute.htm
David,Absolutely not - Catholics are all bound to follow the teachings of the Church all the time. But again, you ignore what a judge and a legislator are suposed to do. You wouldn't, for example, say a Catholic policeman isn't following the Church's teaching on abortion because he doesn't arrest abortionists, would you? I don't even say Catholic legislators must always "vote for" Church doctrine. I am not even sure what that means. The argument that the "privately agree with Church on abortion, but still think it should be legal" is the equivalent of "privately agree with Church on the sinfulness of unmarried cohabitation, but think it should be legal" is just plain silly. No one is saying Catholic legislators are bound to reinstitute the Papal States in the US.David G.,Even if judges use neutral principles (which I don't think they always do) they can come up with different conclusions for a lot of reasons. That shouldn't concern us. What should concern us is when judges make up rules or twist interpretations or even ignore the words of a statute or the constitution to arrive at outcomes they deem "fair." As a crusty old judge (probably not much older than I am now, but he seemed old to me at the time) said to my opposing defense counsel in a court-martial when he complained something "wasn't fair" (he was a real dope that defense counsel), "Fair is a place to get cotton candy in the summer, Sonny. I don't do fair - what's the law." Finally, I think a lot of folks here are mischaracterizing Scalia's views. He doesn't think you should freeze everything in the 18th and 19th century. He is only saying that you must interpret the document in light of the original understanding of what it meant to those who wrote and adopted it and apply it to current circumstances.

Pulled the trigger on the Hadley! Just need to fill up my shopping cart at chain reaction to get free shipping on the rotor and new adapter. Big problem is, I already have everything and am just picking up odds and ends right now (uhhh... I need slicks for when I convert my current ride to a commuter? And tubes/ tubeless system. That's about it...). Plus I over stretched myself when I made the decision to go with a 20mm through axle instead of sticking with what I have. The fork was $50 more, $50 for the new hub, $35 for the new rotor. $10 for a new adapter (I had already ordered one for a 203mm rotor) Ouch. Won't be able to afford to get it assembled for a couple months
I think it will work out in the long run! Better hub, and better performance from a beefier axle.
Thanks for all your help

Paget's Disease
Kenneth R. Blank, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
As I am sure you are aware, Paget's disease is primarily a bone or breast disease. Unfortunately, there are several people in the Bay Area, specifically women, who are afflicted with Paget's of the anus, rectum or vulva. There is very little information of Paget's disease on these parts of the anatomy and I was wondering if you could let me know who might know more about this and treatment of the disease in those areas. I know someone who has had this condition for the last 10 years and it appears, even though she has had numerous laser treatments & wide excisions, the Paget's has gone deeper into the flesh, and she may now require radiation and chemo.
Do you have any information about who may have treated others with this disease or what types of treatment would be recommended in a case such as this.
Thank you for any help you can give me!!
Kenneth R. Blank, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear DP:
Thank you for your question.
Paget's disease of the anal margin and vulva is an intraepithelial adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of Paget's cellslarge vacuolated cells positive for periodic acid-Schiff. Paget's disease of the anus and vulva is often treated by wide local excision but extensive disease may require radiation for adequate local control. Recurrence of the disease can occur and may necessitate more aggressive therapy. 15-20% of cases are associated with an underlying carcinoma requiring careful clinically and radiographic examinations to rule-out this possibility. Information on paget's disease of the anus and vulva can be found in the following OncoLink sections:

NEW CUMBERLAND - Building up New Cumberland may require knocking a few buildings down.
City leaders in the county seat say they want to reorganize the city's Building Enforcement Agency and hold property owners accountable for the condition of dilapidated buildings.
"City Council and the Building Enforcement Agency are dedicated to improving the look of the town, and this (agency) is the main tool we have," Mayor Linda McNeil said.
Elected in May and installed in July, McNeil has said one of her main priorities as mayor is to see to it that unkempt properties are either rehabilitated or razed. Although the city has the authority to do so, city officials have not always used it.
City Council passed an ordinance establishing a Building Enforcement Agency in 2001. By 2008, agency officials had identified 10 "unsafe and unsanitary" buildings and began court proceedings to have them demolished, McNeil said. Only three were demolished, but other property owners made improvements because they were made aware of the law, she said.
Since then, efforts to enforce the city's building standards have languished, partly because of the expense of demolitions and the competition among cities for demolition grants.
McNeil said she wants to make building enforcement a priority for the city once again.
"We're reviewing the structures that have been declared dilapidated and eligible (for demolition), and we're prioritizing and asking council for backing to proceed - and the authority to apply for grants," McNeil said.
McNeil believes reorganizing the Building Enforcement Agency will go a long way toward improving the look of New Cumberland and making it a destination for people and businesses.
"I think if we are to move forward, we must present an appealing appearance," she said. "It's a real big step we have to take."
The cost of razing 10 buildings can reach $40,000, she said.
In addition to reviewing the list of properties already condemned, the agency also has the authority to investigate "the conditions of the dwellings, buildings and structures in the city in order to determine which are dangerous, unhealthy or unfit for human habitation," according to the ordinance.
Such an investigation must show proof of:
Dilapidation, deterioration, age and obsolescence;
Inadequate provisions for ventilation, air and sanitation;
Existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire or other causes;
Conditions conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency and crime; or
Conditions constituting a nuisance.
The Building Enforcement Agency is made up of the mayor, the building inspector, a city councilman and a member at-large. The city's current building inspector is City Councilman Shawn Marks.
McNeil said the city wants to work with property owners and facilitate building improvements before resorting to demolition proceedings.
"This is an opportunity for residents and out-of-town owners of property within our city limits to take a look at the condition of their property and make adjustments to come into compliance before the agency takes action," she said.

Euthanasia -
Or rather, "mercy killing"...
My co-worker and I debated about this a couple times.
Dr. Jack Kevorkian
was in jail for 8 years (off on good behaviour on a 10-25 year sentence) for assisted suicide - he was letting his "patients" use his "death machine", and helping them kill themselves to put them out of their misery.
All his patients went to him FOR this, and before you get the wrong idea, this isn't just for anyone who wants to die, it was for serious ill people that didn't want to live in pain anymore. He actually filmed himself talking to a lady who wanted to procedure... she had Alzheimer's, and though she was only in the early stages of it, she didn't want to die unhappy and unable to remember her family and life. (I understand that, kinda, because my great grandmother has real terrible Alzheimer's - she only speaks dutch, still thinks she lives in Holland, and most of the time doesn't even recognize my grandma. It's really bad...)
So, the patients go through and interviewing process, then he just hooks them up to this IV at a predetermined date and time, and makes them press a button that injects them with a deadly chemical that kills them in under a minute, and is completely painless.
Is this
? On one hand, the patients are WILLING, right? And it ends their suffering. On the other hand, it makes us sound like pets, and if this were to be okay by-law, what would stop doctors from say, using it on UNWILLING patients? "Oh, they're going to die anyway, and they're using up a bed." or what about using it on people with mental disorders? Would THAT be okay? Opinions, anyone?

Someone hands you a bag of apples. What do you do with them?
Ok, it didn't entirely go down just like that, but I gained +1 bag of apples (just under a dozen) Sunday. Actually, I volunteered to take them. I love apples, but I can only eat one or two of them in "generic apple state" before they get boring to me.
It's also going to be stupid warm for Seattle this week, so I don't plan on turning on my oven except a) late in the evening and b) only if needed.
So, what can I do with the rest of these apples? :)
fauxtags: kindhearted-mod-didn't-plan-ahead, tasty-treats, just-here-for-the-cartoon-kthx
43 Answers answer
make some applesauce? :)
@kfujita: There's already a jar of applesauce in my kitchen. :(
Applesauce was the first thing that came to my mind.
You could make an apple pie or apple dumplings or cinnamon apples. If you don't want to make those now, you can peel and cut/prep the apples as needed and freeze them for use later.
Think of Spice and Wolf...then make apple pie.
go to a friend's house and use their oven to make the apple pie. then run away cackling.
Baked apples with cinnamon and sugar. We cook them right in our microwave when it's hot out, not quite the same, but still tasty!
Or, buy carmels or candy coating and make candy coated apples! YUM!
But, I ended up with an entire box of apples from a customer at my job. He left one box for each of us, so many apples! Had them for a month before we could eat them all, lol!
@inkycatz: hmm...let's see what else i got...
apple butter
apple pancakes
no-bake apple pie
ok now i'm hungry
Make a Waldorf Salad & take it to work. Note: This recipe uses 1 apple & serves 2 - use 10 apples & it will serve 20. Maybe.
Any leftover apples - take them to work, too. Or...if you don't want to spend the money (walnuts & grapes are not cheap) to make a Waldorf, just take all the apples to work.
Make sure the evil witch didn't just send you any apples.
@inkycatz: Yum, apples! What kind of apples? Any major restrictions (allergies, etc.)?
I know you have a jar of applesauce, but I'm thinking of something that's not traditional applesauce, but I don't know what to call it. Cut up apples into bite-size pieces, leaving the skin on; toss into pot; turn on stove to medium-low, cook until less firm; I usually start with the pot covered and will uncover towards the end to let some water evaporate. I use both tart and sweet apples (if possible) and throw in some brown sugar if the balance is off; cinnamon might also be a nice addition. It's especially good on vanilla ice cream (which I can't imagine doing with traditional applesauce). I prefer very firm apples for eating, so I make this to enjoy apples that have started to soften.
Also, apples-and-peanut-butter are simply fabulous and a nice protein-heavy snack/meal.
@joshobra: @pemberducky would never do that.
@neuropsychosocial: Nope, no allergies here. Just a pile of Red Delicious apples. :)
Chop them finely with lemon juice, cinnamon, and some brown sugar. Makes great fruit salsa (aka apple pie dip).
Or I would cook them up chunky style like others have suggested and freeze them for those cold fall nights ever so quickly coming upon us. You will want the tastes and smells of cinnamon apples then.
My Mom used to peel and core the apple, leave it whole. Put it in a pot on the stove with some lemon juice and some cinnamon red hots. Spoon the juice up over the apples until they are soft and red fleshed. Yum! Yes I know that requires heat. But stovetop does not heat up the kitchen like the oven does.
Look up (and make!) a good recipe for apple crisp!
Chocolate covered apples rolled in sprinkles, or coconut, or whatever you choose.
aw, man, i thought this was gonna be like... a "choose your own adventure" thread. :c
@pemberducky: I live to disappoint the rest of the team. Maybe next week I'll do that. :)
Also, do you have a hat like this? I know you like hats.
I have standards now for my image of evil queens!
Throw them at the back of their head. I hate apples! How dare some random stranger try to burden me with them.
get my bow and arrow
@inkycatz: ok. no one has suggested fried apples yet. easy, no oven. tasty.
Make an enormous strudel. Like, party sub length.
I like using sliced apples to scoop up peanut butter, but apparently I'm weird, because I only get odd stares when I mention it to other people.
Just realized you'd need a party sub length oven to make that. Oh well. I'd make some strudel and a pie or three.
@moosezilla: ooh, and oh so delicious with bacon :)
Also useful for making princesses fall asleep. The world's running short on monarchies, but uh... I think the Swedish heir is female. Maybe that'll work?
Pie of course. Although I love apples and generally have to cut twice as many as needed for the pie as I tend to sample as I slice. I really like just slicing and dipping in a cinnamon and sugar mix if I am not making pie.
Don't let them go to waste. Donate them to a local shelter; they need them more than you do. :)
Do you have a food dehydrator? If not, search the Woot warehouse. There's bound to be one lying around somewhere. Dried apples make great snacks and last for ages in the fridge!
Somewhere around here I have a recipe for Fresh Apple Cake that's wonderful. I will post it if I can put my hands on it.
Fresh Apple Cake
• 1 ¼ cup liquid oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 cups flour
• 3 cups peeled and chopped apples
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 2 tsp. vanilla
Blend oil and sugar well. Sift dry ingredients and add to oil and sugar mixture. Beat eggs slightly and add to batter. Add vanilla. Fold in apples and nuts. Grease and flour large tube or Bundt pan, or sheet cake pan. Bake at 250° for 1 ½ hours. Cool and invert. Add topping.
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 stick butter or margarine
• ¼ cup evaporated milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
Cook ingredients to full boil. Beat and cool. Spread on apple cake.
@inkycatz: Ok, this is where I have to say something (& confess I watch that silly show). Those apples ol' Queen Leatherbritches keeps waving around aren't Honey Crisps. They're plain, boring Red Delicious!!! If a doofus like ME can figure this out, you'd think the propmasters would too.
Ok, rant over.
Sliced chilled apples with peanut butter are pretty tasty.
Also, if you have a small toaster oven, you can make this recipe I found without heating up your kitchen:
Peel & cut apples into bite size pieces
In non-reactive pot, combine apple pieces, 2 TBS butter, 1 tsp cinnamon, & 1/2 cup sugar. Simmer on top of stove for 5 minutes until bubbly & apples have begun to soften.
Spoon into baking dish. Top w/ crumb mixture.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown, approximately 15-20 mins.
Crumb mixture
1 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 TBS butter
Place dry ingredients in bowl. Cut butter into dry mix until it becomes crumbly.
Make lemonade!
Red Delicious aren't really a cooking apple. In fact, almost any other kind is better for cooking.
I'll throw them at stupid people.
Stupid people are ruining America.
You say thanks.. then give them to somebody who knows how to bake, preferably a grandma - grandma's make the dankest pies.
I'd like to know how you came up with that clip though.. that must have been an interesting set of search-words.
@inkycatz: welsh rarebit... only heat required is to heat up the cheese sauce, but that's a whole lot less than baking a pie.
apples, cheese and breadcubes for basic, other stuff can be added like a waldorf salad, I like to keep mine simple.
Trade 'em for a much bigger bag of Androids?
eat them!
I don't like apples at all. Wish I did, but I just can't bring myself to eat them no matter how they are prepared. :(
I agree with @pooflady: they aren't all that good for cooking. Except in things like cakes and muffins. Apple cinnamon muffins are great. And really, they are worth the warmth in the kitchen.
@drchops: "applecore donald duck" - it's kind of easy when you remember the running joke :)
I think I'm going to rock some waldorf salad for taking to the office tomorrow, and a crumb for the weekend - that sounds delicious! Then I will prep the rest of them and throw them in the freezer. I'm pretty sure I have enough lock 'n locks to spare for the cause.
I am totally saving the apple cake and other ideas for future rounds of apples. Pies will be made!
@lavikinga: I lol'd at Queen Leatherbritches!
If they were Granny Smith's or Pippins, I'd put them in the fridge where they'll keep for the better part of forever and eat one a day. I particularly like them sliced up and dipped in either peanut sauce (a concoction I make with peanut butter, ginger, agave nectar, and chipotle powder) or warm cajeta (Mexican caramel sauce made with goats milk). I only like tart apples, although if there's nothing else at hand I will eat a gala or other firm sweet apple. I've got no use at all for the "delicious" varieties, so I'd take them to work and trade them for good will.
My favorite brand of cajeta is sold at Walmarts and grocery stores locally, I don't know if they carry it at stores that are not on the border.
Agree with PIE! Deal with the heat. Almost any sacrifice is worth the awesome goodness of pie. Get some French vanilla ice cream to go with it if you must.

User Comments for Week 5 QB Rankings
Finally giving Matt Ryan the credit he deserves, for anyone who hasnt realized, he's the best qb in the game, and continues to prove so every week.
strahl9 10/02/12 02:23 PM
Rodgers, Brees, Brady, and possibly RG3 will all finish ahead of Ryan by the end of this Season. I love Ryan but after 4 weeks it's to early to declare him the King of QB's just yet.
Kinglions 10/02/12 04:14 PM
strahl9 - For the record, FFToolbox ranked Ryan 6th pre-draft, which I suspect was higher than most. On the podcast I've stated repeatedly Ryan is pound-for-pound my fave fantasy QB this year. So not sure where we get "finally", but yes, against the Redskins there is no doubt he's projected as No.1 this week. Thanks
Ben Standig 10/02/12 07:01 PM
Help!!!!!!!!!!!! Should I trade Rice and Decker for Megatron and Peterson! I am in a ppt league!
Hgriff1 10/02/12 07:04 PM
By the I have Ryan! I agree the top QB this year so far! Sleeper? I think so!
Hgriff1 10/02/12 07:12 PM
Finally was used in reference to him FINALLY being ranked number one, and good for you, I hope you have said he is your favorite fantasy QB throughout the year on your podcast, because its been obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain that he is the best fantasy QB and QB in real football. Im just happy he's getting the respect he finally deserves though was all that was said from me anyways, and the pound-for-pound analogy made no sense, their not boxers LOL. Damn narcissist, DIRTY BIRDS OE.
strahl9 10/02/12 07:15 PM
Cam Newton or Christian Ponder?
giwarriors12 10/02/12 08:41 PM
@Hgriff I would do def do that trade in a non-PPR league. Rice gets nearly twice the receptions a game than AP does, so probably not in PPR.
Hizenthorn 10/02/12 08:54 PM
@giwarriors I would roll with Newton almost every week of the year, he always has a big upside.
Hizenthorn 10/02/12 08:55 PM
Keep Rice and Decker. Rice is the best RB in fantasy, and Decker is a third year reciever with Peyton Manning throwing him the ball. Hes gonna have a great year.
Newton for now is the start you want to make over Ponder. However I do feel there are possible match ups where Ponder could be more effective and have bigger upside.
xxjonesy87 10/02/12 11:26 PM
Which match ups?
giwarriors12 10/03/12 01:08 AM
I got Stafford on a bye this week...who should I roll with, Kevin Kolb thur night agaisnt the Rams or matt hasselback agaisnt the Vikings in a ppr league??
Kidmikey23 10/03/12 06:07 AM
@Giwarriors he's got a match up against the terrible Redskins secondary next week. He plays the Packers twice so you know he'll have to throw a lot to keep up. Also the week after the Redskins game he plays an Arizona team that just gave up 400+ yards to a rookie quarterback. He also plays the Rams in week 15. I like all those match ups. Now, next week Newton is on a bye so Ponder is a great stand in for you thanks to his amazingly timed matchup against the Redskins. Week 8 while Newton is playing the Bears, Ponder is playing the Buccaneers, a team that just gave up 300+ to Robert Griffin, and 500+ to Eli Manning this year.
xxjonesy87 10/03/12 08:08 AM
@Kidmikey I would say Kolb, Vikings defense has been playing a lot better than Rams this year so far, and Kolb has the better receiver to throw to.
xxjonesy87 10/03/12 08:09 AM
Thks!! Ok so I picked up kolb for a spot start but after reading the sit em' advice I'm was wondering if I shud still go with kolb?? Bradford, Cassel, Weeden, Hasselback, Gabbert are still on the wire??
Kidmikey23 10/03/12 10:41 AM
Help! Okay, so Brian Hartline is favored over Anquan Boldin BUT NFL.com recommends sitting Brian Hartline since the matchup against the Bengals would not be in his favor. I already benched Boldin and put Hartline in. Should I change it back? I'm torn. Who do you think will put up the better numbers? Anqua is going up agains Kansas City. What should I do? Anquan has been inconsistent for me. But looking at Brian Hartline prior to last week, he wasn't that consistent either. Help!!!
atlcharm 10/03/12 02:43 PM
Ooops, realized I posted this under QB, but if you still want to help, please do. Thank you!

Hey need some help I'm in a non PPR league and need to play 2 RB, 2 WR and 1 flex for RB's I have LeSean McCoy PHI, Jamaal Charles KC and Alfred Morris WAS, then for WR's I have Andre Johnson HOU, Danny Amendola STL, Andre Roberts AZ and DeSean Jackson PHI. So witch players should i start in WR slots, RB slots and the 1 Flex slot. I'd very much appreciate anybody and everyone's thoughts on this so pls comment thanks. Oh also Brian Hartline Is still there and right now is an FA in my league should I drop Andre Roberts, or any others above for him? Watcha think
Six19R_OG-Mobsta 10/03/12 10:43 PM
Brees is on bye come week 6 and I don't have a backup since I'm stacked in the RB department... What QB should I take a look at via the waivers (Fitz, Freeman, Cassel or Smith available in my league) or should I make a trade for a backup QB?
KennyBrittle 10/03/12 11:17 PM
Definitely Fitz
giwarriors12 10/04/12 12:20 AM
Appreciate it @giwarriors12, and as for you @Matt214racer I think its obvious you start all 3 of your RBs along with Danny Amendola and DeSean Jackson at WR (Andre Johnson is less likely to put up big numbers on the Jets because their ground game will be unstoppable). I would also drop Roberts for Hartline, yes. Go with your gut though.
KennyBrittle 10/04/12 03:40 AM
@Matt214 and @KennyBrittle start Andre over DeSean this week. Revis is out, and the Jets look like a beat dog. You're right, the Texans will run all over them, but there's gonna be 3rd downs eventually and Johnson will get the looks and some scores.
xxjonesy87 10/04/12 08:36 AM
Decided on goin with Bradford instead of Kolb..
Kidmikey23 10/04/12 09:47 AM
K thanks I appreciate the info and should I use Danny Amendola, DeSean Jackson, Or Andre Roberts in WR2 slot and in flex spot use Alfred Morris forsho or one of the WR in my 2RB slots I'm going with jamaal Charles and LeSean McCoy
Six19R_OG-Mobsta 10/04/12 12:48 PM
kolb vs rams defense, or cam newton vs seattle defense?
alfrickinmeida 10/04/12 04:01 PM
rodgers is still the best in the game, he's WON the big games .. gimme a break matt ryan has sucked in the playoffs TWO years in a row, he ain't matty ice in the playoffs, and if GB has to go to ATL again we'll crush them again..
Paperboii Phenomenon 10/04/12 04:48 PM
Ryan or Brady? and yes I have both
Jer21 10/04/12 09:32 PM
this is a tough one 12 team league stafford on bye i have the option of starting weeden or sanchez at qb who would you go with?
criffrock 10/05/12 10:58 AM
flacco or vick this week? im not sure why vick is rated so high this week going against the steelers who are getting healthy on defense. and why flacco is rated so low going against the horrible chiefs
bringdafunk100 10/05/12 12:20 PM
I keep going back and forth with this but do I start Matt Ryan or RGIII this week?
Toogr82b4got10 10/05/12 02:23 PM
Since Danny Amendola got inured and there's a lot of good WR's in my FA pick up who should I go with, these r some of them James Jones, Andrew Hawkins, Armon Binns, Jerome Simpson, Devery Henderson, Brandon Tate, Leonard Hankerson, B. Laflel, Domenik Hixon, D. Driver, H. Douglas, D. Avery, M. Crabtree, Kendall Wright, Malcom Floyd etc basically there's still a lot of pretty good players that haven't been picked up yet and I also am dropping my back up K G. Zuerlin bc I only needed him this week so I have 2 players I can get from FA instantly and if any of then would be better then who I've got starting now I can switch them so let me know wat all of u think thanks oh and should I keep DeSean Jackson or drop him for one of the FA's also
Six19R_OG-Mobsta 10/05/12 03:10 PM
Peyton or Eli for this week? Eli has an easy matchup that scares me a little but I dont trust Peyton 100% yet.
Emanuel 10/05/12 03:41 PM
i like hawkins and jones
criffrock 10/05/12 03:41 PM
Should I start Can Newton or RG3??

Nvm Domenik Hixon bc I picked him up for my back up Def and I can't drop Amendola or Zuerlin rite now since I started them tonite witch means after week 5 is over then I can drop them for 2 of those guys in waiver wire so still witch 2 should I pick up for them? I'm still able to drop WR's DeSean Jackson or Andre Roberts rite now to get one of the FA WR's I mentioned ASAP but I'm stuck and unsure if I should drop either Jackson or Roberts or if I should maybe drop them both for 2 FA's? Let me know ur input and ur thoughts on this thanks and I'm in a NON PPR LEAGUE

Science For Juggalos
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke
"Us Juggalos have deep imaginations, and an awesome sense of humor." -Violent J
The video Miracles has earned Insane Clown Posse many new fans and an unfair reputation as being anti-science. Insane Clown Polytechnic is trying to clarify this misconception. Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J have explained in interviews that they were promoting a positive appreciation for the natural wonders of the world. See the full explanation below.
Some people say we, the Juggalo fans of "The Insane Clown Posse", lack basic scientific understanding on subjects like fucking magnetism, light, and nature. Fortunately, us Juggalos will be outside the Warfield Theater on June 5th, 2010 to show that Juggalos understand science too.
To that end, we will be setting up a Science Fair outside the Warfield between 6pm-8pm to demonstrate several of the scientific principles which some people think confuse us.
We are not haters, we are family. We love science, we love ICP, we love the Fam, and we think that the more Juggalos who stand up as scrub for science, the less the jocks and the haters will make fun of the geeks and clowns and ninjas who really run the muthafucking world.
The original creator is a QUEER
Ohhh haha. Gotta love wikipedia.
Violent J Explains ICP's Stance On Science
We try hard to even manage we have a hint of what the fuck a magnet is.
Participate in juggalo hate! Oh look that rhymed! Woopity fuckin doo!
Juggalos can't be scientists. Awhh too fuckin bad.
Look up
The "I HATE JUGGALOS" fan page on facebook :D
Juggalos must jump people cause they can't fight one on one.
Explanations For Nature's Miracles
Every race, ethnicity, religion, etc, is better than a juggalo, except extreme militant muslims who want to bomb everything.
Awesome Show
Pretty much, Juggalos for are NOT ninjas. Buying a ninja weapon as a fucking smoke shop doesn't make you a fucking ninja. Dumbfucks.

Expert en logiciel libre depuis 1999, je recommande Mumble dont les fonctionnalités progressent sans cesse. MonMumbleChez.ovh propose par exemple un service de serveurs Mumble gratuitement ! Merci à la communauté !
Perfect ! I'm running a server of 50 active users (25ish each evening) and it works great ! It's easy to teach people about the use of it, and it always works. Even on pentium III ! No lag, even with a game and a shitty connexion, just perfect. And if one day its really bad connexion, just turn on the force TCP ! Perfect ! It's just a little bit too simple for Admins, I would like a bit more control (see ticket #1164)
Great program. Use it with group for 10 friends, does everything we need. Except a software based method of playing music so we can listen together. Overall well build, and I especially like the performance tuning options.
I love using this VoIP for when I play online with my friends. My only issue with it is that no matter what I do, I just cannot seem to get the overlay to work with WoW. I have the latest version downloaded to my computer and I've followed all directions I can find, but to no avail. It just will not work for me. Other than that, I really enjoy it and its ease of use.

Today I have a bunch of tutorials based on some pretty cool characters from upcoming and already released movies. Up next we will learn "how to draw Smoove Move" from Turbo, step by step. This sly chilled out snail is voiced by Snoop Dogg, and he is as mellow as they come. He has a pair of pink dice hanging from his neck to replicate dice hanging from the rear-view mirror of a car. Drawing Smoove Move will be easy so don't worry about complications along the way. Peace out folks and be sure to leave some feedback.

Feedback to Sencha Dev Team:
You might also consider adding these to config.rb so devs can exactly reproduce the exact same app.css that ships with the product and (better) ensure that your build process for these generate files follows exactly what end user devs will do. This would have avoided this bug.
environment = :development
output_style = :expanded
# output_style = :compressed
# environment = :production
Currently, by default it generates compressed production CSS files. When you do switch to performing a development/expanded CSS the relative source code paths in the resulting app.css are different so spotting changes using a diff tool is more painful.

Be sure to check AUTrojans.com during the offseason to relive all the highlights of another successful year at Anderson.
Swygert's Walk-Off Grand Slam Propels Trojans to Sweep of Tusculum
April 1, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Senior Danielle Swygert's one-out walk-off grand slam propelled the Anderson softball team to a 6-3 victory in the opener, while timely hitting lifted the Trojans to a 4-2 win in the nightcap, as AU swept a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader from Tusculum at Smethers Field.
Playing its second South Atlantic Conference twin bill in three days, Anderson (27-9, 7-5 SAC) claimed its third straight win, while Tusculum (20-20, 6-6 SAC), the defending South Atlantic Conference regular-season champion, saw its win streak halted at four games.
Game #1
Anderson 6, Tusculum 3
Swygert finished the opener with the grand slam and a single, while tallying four RBI and one run scored. Fellow senior Abby Child was also 2-for-4, with a pair of RBI-singles and crossed the plate once. Junior second baseman Jessica Neidigh added two singles in four trips to the plate.
Neidigh led off the home fifth inning with a sharp single to center, stole second, and scored the game's first run on Abby Child's opposite-field single down the right-field line.
The Pioneers' Paige Sneed quickly tied the score at 1-1 by lofting a home run just beyond the fence in left-center to lead off the sixth inning. Tusculum threatened to gain the lead when sophomore Miranda Beeler reached on a fielder's choice. Junior Kaytlin Stroinski followed with a two-out single to center, but Beeler was thrown out by Molly Child as she attempted to go from first to third on the single, ending the inning.
Tusculum took a 3-1 advantage with two runs in the top of the seventh, as freshman Tavi Parris earned a one-out walk and junior Nicole Ball homered to left.
Trailing by two, the Trojans' opened their final at-bat with Cason and senior Charlotte Sieber reaching on back-to-back singles. One out later, Molly Child ripped a single to right, loading the bases and getting the winning run on first. Abby Child followed with a run-scoring single through the left side and pulling AU within 3-2 on the scoreboard to set up Swygert's heroics. The hard-hitting first baseman pulled an 0-1 offering over the fence in right field for the game-winning grand slam.
Game #2
Anderson 4, Tusculum 2
Molly Child was a perfect 3-for-3 in the nightcap, notching three singles, a run scored and an RBI. Junior outfielder Rebecca Martin added a pair of singles in three at-bats, while Swygert increased her hitting streak to eight games with a single.
Freshman Lauren Rudesheim (13-4) earned the win with her team-leading eighth complete game of the season. The newcomer allowed two earned runs, while scattering four hits over the seven innings. She struck out five and walked just one.
The Trojans opened the scoring with an unearned run in the bottom of the third inning, as Neidigh led off the inning by reaching on a bunt single and went all the way to third when the Pioneers threw the ball away trying to throw out the speedy leadoff hitter. Neidigh crossed the plate with the first run of the contest when Molly Child followed with a deep fly to center.
Tusculum countered to take a brief, 2-1, lead with a pair of runs on the strength of Stroinski's fifth home run of the season – a two-run homer over the right-field fence in the top of the fourth frame.
Anderson answered quickly, with senior Laura Jansky reaching on a fielder's choice and crossing the plate with the game-tying run on Bri Cason's triple off the fence in left field. The Trojans took the lead for good with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth, as AU opened the frame with three straight singles.
After Molly Child and Abby Child reached base on back-to-back singles to the outfield, Swygert followed with a single to center, bringing Molly Child home with the eventual game-winning run. With two outs, Jansky singled to left to plate Abby Child with an additional insurance run, boosting the Trojan's lead to 4-2.
The Pioneers threatened in both the sixth and seventh innings, but the Anderson defense held TC off the scoreboard to earn the sweep.

Children's Health
Bottles, Binkies, and Batteries Send Kids to ER
May 14, 2012 -- The same bottle or toy that comforts small children may prove dangerous as they get older and more curious.
New research shows that every four hours a child under 3 is treated in an emergency room for an injury caused by a baby bottle, pacifier, or sippy cup. Most of the injuries were cuts and bruises caused by falls while walking or running with the item in the mouth.
Another new study shows that more than 66,000 children have been treated in the ER since 1990 for battery-related injuries, like swallowing a small, coin-sized button battery from a toy or remote control.
Researchers say the number of these injuries in young children is on the rise, along with the increasing popularity of lithium button batteries in electronic devices.
Swallowing a button battery, such as those found in remote controls, electronic games, and watches, can be especially dangerous for young children. Researchers say these small batteries can become lodged in the esophagus and can lead to severe injury or even death in less than two hours.
Both studies will appear in the June issue of Pediatrics.
Comfort Items Can Be Dangerous
The first study looked at injuries caused by bottles, pacifiers, and sippy cups requiring treatment in an emergency room in children under age 3.
Using information from the National Electric Injury Surveillance System, researchers found an estimated 45,000 children were treated in ERs for these injuries from 1991 to 2010.
Most injuries involved bottles (65.8%), followed by pacifiers (19.9%) and sippy cups (14.3%). More than 86% of the injuries were caused by falls while using the products.
"We found that approximately two-thirds of injuries occurred at age 1 year, when children have transitioned to unsteady walking and are prone to falls," write researcher Sarah Keim, PhD, of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and colleagues.
Although the injuries were serious enough to merit a trip to the ER, researchers say that very few were fatal. Cuts and bruises accounted for about 83% of injuries.

Given an immersion of the n-1-sphere into a (closed) n-manifold, when does it extend to an immersion of the n-disk?
Remark: If the sphere had dimension k smaller than n-1, then such an immersion would exist if and only if the corresponding map from the k-sphere to the Stiefel manifold is 0-homotopic. This is the Hirsch-Smale Theorem and in fact an example of an h-principle. However the case k=n-1 is exactly the exceptional case which does NOT obey an h-principle. Easy examples (Figure 8.1. in the book by Eliashberg-Mishachev) show that there exist immersions of the circle in the plane which have a formal extension but not a genuine extension to the 2-disk. So, is there anything known about sufficient conditions for extendability?
