CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina coach Roy Williams doesn't mind that his 21st-ranked Tar Heels are averaging 6 1/2 more 3-point attempts per game than last season. With the strength and experience of the team on the wings, he expected it.
But he'd also like to see another type of shot go up more often: free throws.
UNC is averaging only 15.7 foul shot attempts per game, roughly nine fewer attempts per game than last season. It's a sharp decline for a team that is used to making more free throws than its opponents even attempt.
The biggest difference: younger, less experienced big guys. Forwards Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Harrison Barnes led the Tar Heels in free throw attempts last season, and now they're all rookies in the NBA. That puts the onus on this year's experienced wings -- Dexter Strickland (14 for 26 on free throws this season), Reggie Bullock (9 for 11), Leslie McDonald (8 for 12) and P.J. Hairston (15 for 18) -- to push their team to the line more often, one way or another.
"I don't mind … [more] 3-pointers a game, but I would like to get to the foul line more, and that comes from getting the ball inside, by pass or dribble,'' Williams said Thursday.
"Everybody acts like I just want them to throw it to the big guy, but Ty Lawson got to the foul line a lot just by driving the ball to the basket. And Marcus [Paige, UNC's starting point guard] hasn't gotten that comfortable with it yet; he's played seven or eight games, and he's shot one free throw, and that's just not typical. We've got to get the ball to the basket by dribble or pass."
Plus, make shots when they do get to the line. The Tar Heels are making only 61.7 percent of their free throws, worst in the ACC.
GETTING DEFENSIVE: Freshman forward Brice Johnson has been impressing plenty of people with his offensive skills. But Williams said the forward has "a long way" to go on defense.
"He said it himself the other day: He played zone in high school,'' Williams said. "It's two things: You have to learn all the principles, which is really hard, it takes a long time -- and then it becomes second nature and you say, why did it take me so long to learn?
"And then the other thing … he's got to get his intensity level way higher than it is, and then maintain it. We showed one play in one game; it might have been the Indiana game. And I said, 'How did you feel you you watched that?' And he said: 'Embarrassed.' Because you don't know that [the intensity level was low], you see it on tape, and it helps you understand it.
"But it's getting better. He's not getting better as fast as I want him to, or I'm sure as fast as he wants to. But he's trying, and trying to get better, and I'll take that."
LEARNING EASY: Even with the blowout nature of the outcomes, Williams said his team did learn some things from its wins against Mississippi State (95-49), Chaminade (112-70) and East Tennessee State (78-55). With so many young players, frankly, the Tar Heels can't help but learn every game.
"Now, I don't know if we'd learn anything if we had last year's team, because we were so experienced and so talented,'' he said. "But when you're inexperienced and hoping that the talent will show up at some point, I think you gain a great deal by getting them out in front of someone else.
"...You do put them in different scenarios than you have in practice, so that helps you. You put them in front of a crowd, that does help you. They're trying to run things that the other team does not know what they're doing, like in practice. So that does help you."
When the Tar Heels first committed to their nonconference schedule, they had no idea they'd be playing a Mississippi State team that had only six scholarship players come game time, an ETSU squad that had dismissed two starters and had an injured starting point guard at tip-off; or they'd end up facing Division II Chaminade in the Maui Invitational.
But Williams defended his mix of scheduling tough matchups with easier ones, saying players need a balance of challenges and confidence-boosters, and of differing opponent styles.
"You guys have heard me say it before: Everybody wants you to play the Oklahoma City Thunder, and then the Celtics, and then the Lakers, things like that,'' he said. "But you can't; you've got to get your kids some confidence."

I think you're confusing approval process with litigation process. If you submit prior after the patent has been awarded, sure...
Of course, I'm not all that familiar with the approval process. So perhaps I'm missing something.
To be honest, there are some ads creeping up over there. Was watching a show on the history channel app via apple TV the other day. Showtime add about every three minutes. Same one every time. Was annoying as hell.
More of a history channel app issue than an Apple TV issue. But it's still there.
Does someone really need to explain to you the underlying concept of using "Apple TV" features rather than the built-in "Samsung TV" features?
Just means still get a smart TV but use the smarts from some other device or get a dumb TV and do the same.
Why not? I've been to plenty of places in France. Good and bad. That was just one instance of grabbing something quick while on the road.
For the same reasons anyone travels. For the experience. I was there initially for work. But took an extra week and a half for personal travel. Overall it was a great trip. Knowing the language isn't always a necessity. I've been to around 10 countries. It's easy enough to get around knowing a few words.
Everyone will look at this from a "losing jobs" aspect. There's nothing wrong with that view point and it's perfectly valid. However, I will put forth this alternate view. Kiosks in McDonald's while I was in France were a great thing for me. Not speaking French it meant I was able to order without the inconvenience of the language barrier.
In this case, they are actively trying to get rid of employees. And that side is a shame. But I wouldn't mind seeing more kiosk style ordering stations in fast food places. Along with the option to talk to a person.
I went through this whole thread looking for a Real Genius reference. Guess this is as close as it's going to get.
Incorrect. You're millage may vary depending on your situation. But there is always value in history and the knowledge gained through that time.
One of the important reasons I'm valued in my field is directly related to my knowledge of how we got to where we are. Why we do some things the way we do. And no, it's not just to do things the same way we've always done them.
I actually go outside to the edge of my property to gauge the impact of my sound system on the surrounding neighborhood. And I live out in the country. There are plenty of us that have the means and capability to not go to the theaters.
This is just another reason for me to not go. Yes, they may draw one crowd. They'll exclude another. As long as they make money in the long run, who gives a shit? That's what business is all about.
And I'm sure we can agree that this is an absolutely horrible use case.
No, facebook. You can't have my phone number....
I'd agree if he were making a point in a case of law. He's not in this context. This is a quote for the masses. "it sucks" seems appropriate for a random news bite.
Incorrect. You absolutley have made assumptions. Starting with the idea that the computer with windows was factory installed.
Again, quite possibly a correct assumption.
You're complete disregard of the rest of my post is pointless. The fact is, linux can be be a bitch and is not suited for everyone. Period.
There seems to be a great deal of assumption in your post. Mostly that the person installing linux is incompetent and the windows machine was installed by some highly trained tech. Both assumptions that may or may not be correct.
I've been around this stuff since the days of slackware 1.0. I've enjoyed the days of Windows 3.0 when it was usually faster to just do something at a command line than it was to start up that turd. I've been through KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment and various other window managers. I'm currently a Mac person simply because when I finally got into it a few years ago my reaction was "This is what I've been trying to get linux to be for years!!!".
Do I curse at windows? Yes
Do I curse at linux? Yes
Do I curse at my Mac? Yes
Each of them has their pain points. But trying to argue that linux is perfectly suitable replacement for windows is asinine. And quite frankly ignorant. There are still many rough edges to the linux world that the majority of users simply don't have the time or expertise to put up with.
User hostile.

"Useful overview of your rights. Good to know."
McCullough's John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This is history on a grand scale, an audiobook about politics, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, it is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.
"An outstanding biography"
The decade of the 1790s has been called the age of passion. Fervor ran high as rival factions battled over the course of the new republic - each side convinced that the others' goals would betray the legacy of the Revolution so recently fought and so dearly won. All understood as well that what was at stake was not a moment's political advantage, but the future course of the American experiment in democracy. In this epochal debate, no two figures loomed larger than Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
"Well presented and insightful"
Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today's developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.
"Best Summary of Political History I've Read"
With more than 315,000 print copies sold, this is the story of the church for today's listeners. Dr. Bruce Shelley makes church history come alive in this classic audiobook that has become not only the first choice of many laypeople and church leaders but the standard text in many college classrooms.
James A. Garfield may have been the most extraordinary man ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. But four months after his inauguration, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back. But the shot didn't kill Garfield. The drama of what happened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in turmoil.
"Marvelous, Magnificent, Millard"
The Tudor monarchs were constantly surrounded by an army of attendants, courtiers and ministers. Even in their most private moments, they were accompanied by a servant specifically appointed for the task. A groom of the stool would stand patiently by as Henry VIII performed his daily purges, and when Elizabeth I retired for the evening, one of her female servants would sleep at the end of her bed. These attendants knew the truth behind the glamorous exterior.
"Fills in the Gaps"
You've probably heard clips from Senator Clinton's interview with Barbara Walters. But now you can listen to her full account of her years in the White House. Hillary Clinton vividly describes her pain over her husband's betrayal with Monica Lewinky saying that former President Bill Clinton lied to her about the relationship until the weekend before he admitted the nature of it to a grand jury.
"Good listen and a good read"
The 25 years between the onset of the French Revolution in 1789 and the Bourbon Restoration after Napoleon in 1814 is an astonishing period in world history. This era shook the foundations of the old world and marked a permanent shift for politics, religion, and society - not just for France, but for all of Europe. An account of the events alone reads like something out of a thrilling novel.
"Such a great balance of the big picture and detail"
Henry Kissinger has traveled the world, advised presidents, and been a close observer and participant in the central foreign policy events of our era. Now he offers his analysis of the twenty first century's ultimate challenge: how to build a shared international order in a world of divergent historic perspectives, violent conflict, proliferating technology, and ideological extremism.
"More retrospective than future oriented"
The most eagerly awaited presidential biography in years, Theodore Rex tells the story of President Theodore Roosevelt in real time, reflecting the world as "TR" saw it. Full of cinematic detail, Theodore Rex moves with the exhilarating pace of a novel, yet it rides on a granite base of scholarship.
"I wish I could give it 6 stars"
Drawing on new archival research, Robert Service's gripping new investigation of the final years of the Cold War - the first to give equal attention to the internal deliberations from both sides of the Iron Curtain - opens a window onto the dramatic years that would irrevocably alter the world's geopolitical landscape and the men at their fore.
"Reagan's full court press ended the Cold War"
In this remarkable book, hailed by CEOs, politicians, coaches, and college presidents alike, Donald T. Phillips examines Lincoln's effective leadership style. As he explores the President's diverse management skills, he demonstrates how you can succeed with them in today's complex world.
"Essential leadership philosophy and style"
As the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, Evan Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval. In Age of Ambition, he describes the greatest collision taking place in that country: the clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control.
"Come back when you have a warrant!"
Here, Nassir Ghaemi draws from the careers and personal plights of such notable leaders as Lincoln, Churchill, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., JFK, and others from the past two centuries to build an argument at once controversial and compelling: the very qualities that mark those with mood disorders—realism, empathy, resilience, and creativity—also make for the best leaders in times of crisis.
"A First Rate Journey Into Resilience"
With the sweep and vitality of a great novel, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough presents the enthralling story of John Adams. This is history on a grand scale - an audiobook about politics, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Read by History Channel host Edward Herrmann!
As North Korea's State Poet Laureate, Jang Jin-sung led a charmed life. With food provisions (even as the country suffered through its great famine), a travel pass, access to strictly censored information, and audiences with Kim Jong-il himself, his life in Pyongyang seemed safe and secure. But this privileged existence was about to be shattered. When a strictly forbidden magazine he lent to a friend goes missing, Jang Jin-sung must flee for his life.
"Outstanding! A life-changing listen."
In this colorful and intimate narrative, Isaacson provides the full sweep of Franklin's amazing life, from his days as a runaway printer to his triumphs as a statesman, scientist, and Founding Father. He chronicles Franklin's tumultuous relationship with his illegitimate son and grandson, his practical marriage, and his flirtations with the ladies of Paris. He also shows how Franklin helped to create the American character and why he has a particular resonance in the twenty-first century.
"suffers from abridgement"
In January of 1973 Richard Nixon announced the end of the Vietnam War and prepared for a triumphant second term - until televised Watergate hearings revealed his White House as little better than a mafia den. The next president declared upon Nixon's resignation "our long national nightmare is over" - but then congressional investigators exposed the CIA for assassinating foreign leaders. The collapse of the South Vietnamese government rendered moot the sacrifice of some 58,000 American lives.
Revolutions come in waves and cycles. We are again riding the crest of a revolutionary epic, much like 1848 or 1917, from the Arab Spring to movements against austerity in Greece to the Occupy movement. In Wages of Rebellion, Chris Hedges - who has chronicled the malaise and sickness of a society in terminal moral decline in his books Empire of Illusion and Death of the Liberal Class - investigates what social and psychological factors cause revolution, rebellion, and resistance.
"Excellent, important book"
First published in Germany in 1980, British historian Ian Kershaw's The "Hitler Myth" is recognized as one of the most important books ever written about Adolf Hitler and the Nazi State. Kershaw wanted to focus on what he called the "history of everyday life", and so investigated the attitude of the German public to Hitler at the time, rather than looking at the dictator from the perspective of those in positions of power. He was intrigued to find out how someone like Hitler could have become such a powerful figure.
Lyndon Orr published his story of Aaron Burr in 1912 within his Famous Affinities of History. Here he briefly and simply compares Burr's life with Alexander Hamilton's and attempts to dispel some of the negative opinions that surrounded him as the "villain" who shot and killed one of the Founding Fathers of the USA in a duel. Orr also describes Burr's strong relationships and the mysteries surrounding the women in his life, particularly his daughter.
This election year, celebrate the Democratic Party by drinking like a Democrat! Organized by president, this fun audiobook is full of cocktail recipes, bar tips, and hysterical drinking anecdotes from all Democratic White House administrations. Which Southern man drank snakebites? How did Jackie O. like her daiquiris? Drinking with the Democrats is the bar guide with a twist that all political buffs will enjoy.
In this, the third volume of the work, William Hazlitt takes us through the a critical period in Napoleon's life: his leadership of France as first consul. He shows us how the political developments of the time coincided with Napoleon's personal development, the experiences that convinced him that France needed a new leader, and how he came to believe that he himself was that leader. This volume ends with the greatest transition of all, from first consul to emperor.
Pivotal Tuesdays looks back at four pivotal presidential elections of the past 100 years to show how they shaped the 20th century. During the rowdy, four-way race in 1912 between Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Eugene Debs, and Woodrow Wilson, the candidates grappled with the tremendous changes of industrial capitalism and how best to respond to them. In 1932, Franklin Roosevelt's promises to give Americans a "New Deal" to combat the Great Depression helped him beat the beleaguered incumbent, Herbert Hoover.
Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, a country house called The Firs in Buckinghamshire was requisitioned by the War Office. Sentries were posted at the entrance gates, and barbed wire was strung around the perimeter fence. To local villagers it looked like a prison camp. But the truth was far more sinister. This rambling Edwardian mansion had become home to an eccentric band of scientists, inventors and bluestockings. Their task was to build devastating new weaponry that could be used against the Nazis.
13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi - summary and analysis. This book contains a summary of the entire book, a chapter-by-chapter breakdown, and analysis of the listening experience.
Nineteenth-century America was the closest thing to pure free-market capitalism that has ever existed. There was no welfare state, no central bank, no deficit spending to speak of, no fiat money, and no income tax for most of the century, and no antitrust laws or federal regulatory agencies until the end of the century. During the 20th century, by contrast, American liberty declined as the size, scope, and power of government exploded. Federal spending, taxes, deficits, and debt have spiraled out of control.
"US political/economic evolution explained"
Nigel Hamilton's Mantle of Command, long-listed for the National Book Award, drew on years of archival research and interviews to portray FDR in a tight close-up as he determined Allied strategy in the crucial initial phases of World War II. Commander in Chief reveals the astonishing sequel - suppressed by Winston Churchill in his memoirs - of Roosevelt's battles with Churchill to maintain that strategy.
What really happened when the world's two greatest superpowers went head to head during the Cold War? We Now Know is a major reappraisal of the struggle for political and ideological supremacy between the United States and the Soviet Union from 1945 to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.
From the time he arrived on the political scene in 1964, throughout his presidency and beyond, Ronald Reagan used his speeches to inspire and reinvigorate America. When he spoke, Reagan said, he was "preaching a sermon". The American people saw his vision of America and his dreams for the future, and they overwhelmingly responded; he was reelected in 1984 by the largest number of electoral votes in the nation's history.
The specter of global war loomed large in President Franklin Roosevelt's mind as he prepared to present his 1941 State of the Union address, yet his rallying cry to the nation was about more than just national security or why Americans should care about a fight still far overseas. He instead identified how Americans defined themselves as a people, with words that resonated and defined the parameters of American politics and foreign policy for generations.
A masterful account of Napoleon's final years in exile, by Booker Prize-winning author Thomas Keneally. On the island of St Helena in the South Atlantic ocean, Napoleon spends his last years in exile. It is a hotbed of gossip and secret liaisons, where a blind eye is turned to relations between colonials and slaves. The disgraced emperor is subjected to vicious and petty treatment by his captors, but he forges an unexpected ally: a rebellious British girl, Betsy, who lives on the island with her family and becomes his unlikely friend.
The First Congress was the most important in US history, says prizewinning author and historian Fergus Bordewich, because it established how our government would actually function. Had it failed - as many at the time feared it would - it's possible that the United States as we know it would not exist today.
"Often excellent, sometimes flawed"
Drawing on declassified documents, interviews with intelligence veterans and policymakers, and other sources, The Image of the Enemy examines how seven countries analyzed and used intelligence to understand their main adversary. The cases in the book include the Soviet Union's analysis of the United States (and vice versa), East Germany's analysis of West Germany (and vice versa), British intelligence in the early years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Israeli intelligence about the Palestinians, and more.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James M. McPherson considers why the Civil War remains so deeply embedded in our national psyche and identity. The drama and tragedy of the war help explain why the Civil War remains a topic of interest. But the legacy of the war extends far beyond historical interest or scholarly attention.
"Excellence in book form"
The never-before-told full story of the history-changing break-in at the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, by a group of unlikely activists - quiet, ordinary, hardworking Americans - that made clear the shocking truth and confirmed what some had long suspected, that J. Edgar Hoover had created and was operating, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, his own shadow Bureau of Investigation.
"Forget Ocean's 11"
In 1967, not long after the Six-Day War, three young Arab men ventured into the town of Ramle, in what is now Jewish Israel. They were cousins, on a pilgrimage to see their childhood homes; their families had been driven out of Palestine nearly 20 years earlier. One cousin had a door slammed in his face, and another found his old house had been converted into a school. But the third, Bashir Al-Khairi, was met at the door by a young woman called Dalia, who invited them in.
"Mediocre narration"
President Theodore Roosevelt forever transformed America, ushering the country into the arena of world supremacy. His brand of leadership was entirely American: confident, compassionate, energetic, diverse, visionary. But Roosevelt was not a born leader; his ascent to the apex of power was not a foregone conclusion.
Political philosophy has become an increasingly active area of research over the past four decades. In response to the growing interest in the field, this new edition of A Companion to Contemporary Political Philosophy has been extended significantly to include fifty–five chapters across two volumes written by some of today's most distinguished scholars. Straddling analytic and continental philosophy, the first part of the Companion considers the contributions of economics, history, law, political science, international relations...
"Great read, idiotic narration"
In this Very Short Introduction, Linda Greenhouse draws on her deep knowledge of the court's history and of its written and unwritten rules to show readers how the Supreme Court really works. She offers a fascinating institutional biography of a place and its people--men and women who exercise great power but whose names and faces are unrecognized by many Americans and whose work often appears cloaked in mystery.
"The Making of Judicial Branch"
The appearance of a hastily constructed barbed wire entanglement through the heart of Berlin during the night of 12-13 August 1961 was both dramatic and unexpected. Within days, it had started to metamorphose into a structure that would come to symbolise the brutal insanity of the Cold War: the Berlin Wall. A city of almost four million was cut ruthlessly in two, unleashing a potentially catastrophic East-West crisis and plunging the entire world for the first time into the fear of imminent missile-borne apocalypse.
"Overall great, except"
There is a great debate among historians about Franklin Delano Roosevelt's actions during the Holocaust. Was FDR the hero that defeated the Germans, or did he turn a blind eye to the plight of the Jews as long as he possibly could? In Roosevelt and the Holocaust, Robert Beir analyzes specific actions and legislation to get at the truth behind Roosevelt's role in the Holocaust. Beir has a unique perspective. He is a Jew who was raised during the extreme anti-Semitism of the Great Depression. Having witnessed the fruits of the New Deal firsthand, Beir became a Roosevelt scholar.
On August 31, 1939, nearing the end of his second and presumably final term in office, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was working in the Oval Office and contemplating construction of his presidential library and planning retirement. The next day German tanks had crossed the Polish border; Britain and France had declared war. Overnight the world had changed, and FDR found himself being forced to consider a dramatically different set of circumstances.
"Puts listener in the moment."
These early philosophical writings underpinned the Chinese revolutions and their clarion calls to insurrection remain some of the most stirring of all time. Drawing on a dizzying array of references from contemporary culture and politics, Zizek's firecracker commentary reaches unsettling conclusions about the place of Mao's thought in the revolutionary canon.
"Fascinating Historical Documents"
Marcus Cicero, Rome's greatest statesman and orator, was elected to the Roman Republic's highest office at a time when his beloved country was threatened by power-hungry politicians, dire economic troubles, foreign turmoil, and political parties that refused to work together. Sound familiar? Cicero's letters, speeches, and other writings are filled with timeless wisdom and practical insight about how to solve these and other problems of leadership and politics. How to Run a Country collects the best of these writings to provide an entertaining, common-sense guide for modern leaders and citizens
"Slightly boring"
A fly-on-the-wall narrative of the Oval Office in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, using JFK's secret White House tapes. On October 28, 1962, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove nuclear missiles from Cuba. Popular history has marked that day as the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a seminal moment in American history. As President Kennedy's secretly recorded White House tapes now reveal, the reality was not so simple.
"Irritating Narration"
In the three decades since April 4, 1968, when Martin Luther King, Jr., was shot to death in Memphis, scores of books and articles have questioned whether James Earl Ray, King's killer, acted alone or was part of a larger conspiracy. Now, based on explosive new interviews, confidential files, and previously undisclosed evidence, best-selling author Gerald Posner finally resolves the simple truth of the last great political murder mystery of the 1960s, definitively proving that Ray acted alone.
The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to end all traffic between the city's two halves: the democratic west and the communist east. The iconic symbol of a divided Europe, the Wall became a focus of western political pressure on East Germany; as Ronald Reagan's famously said in a 1987 speech in Berlin, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
"Great blow-by-blow description of what happened"
This panoramic book tells the story of how revolutionary ideas from the Enlightenment about freedom, equality, evolution, and democracy have reverberated through modern history and shaped the world as we know it today.
Published to commemorate the bicentennial of Thomas Paine's death, these texts have remained two of the most influential arguments for liberty in political thought. Common Sense is a pamphlet that Paine wrote in support of American independence. Thanks to its original and simple style, it spread like wildfire through the colonies, helping to inspire the American Revolution. Rights of Man is Paine's passionate defence of the French Revolution that led to his trial for sedition and libel.

Product Description
"An essential work in understanding both the literary approach of C.S. Lewis and the theological assumptions of Paradise Lost. Unparalleled in its conciseness."--I.S. Maclean, James Madison University
"Still the most lucid, useful, entertaining introduction to Milton's poem anyone has contrived to write. Traditional literary criticism at its best."--Lance E. Wilcox, Elmhurst College
About the Author
C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was an Irish author and scholar of mixed Irish, English, and Welsh ancestry. Lewis is known for his work on medieval literature, Christian apologetics and fiction, especially the childrens series entitled The Chronicles of Narnia and his science fiction Space Trilogy.

The problem with this otherwise superlative and certainly indispensable essay is that Lewis, taken with his vision of a common "mere Christianity" embracing Protestants, Anglicans, Catholics and Orthodox, simply misses the extent and significance of Milton's sectarian and heretical opinions. Sure, he knows that Milton was a sort of modified follower of Arius, who denied the divinity of Jesus - that is, that he stood at the outer edges of what is permissible for a Christian to believe - but he does not seem to understand that the consistently materializing imagination of Milton, that almost transforms the Trinity and the Angels into Greek Gods, was a typically Protestant and sectarian reaction against Catholic theology and especially against Thomism, with its wholly spiritual view of Angels.Read more ›
I have a hard time labeling this as a 'preface'; Lewis was obviously writing to the learned elite at Cambridge, not to new readers of Milton. But Lewis does an excellent job of explaining Milton's worldview and how it works in Paradise Lost. His chapters on Primary and Secondary Epics, Miton and St. Augustine, and Hierarchy are EXTREMELY helpful. (Particularly the helpful to American readers is the Hierarchy chapter; we just don't understand what it means to live under and totally submit to a king or emperor.)
I highly recommend this to readers of Lewis or fans of Medieval and Renaissance literature.

Prince Charles was clearly the villain in the relationship as much of his behavior has been confirmed in the media since her death. His refusal to discontinue his relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles speaks for itself. How anyone could pick CPB over Diana in unfathomable. What was never addressed was what Andrew Parker-Bowles thought about the relationship between his wife and Prince Charles. Both Camilla and Charles denied there was a relationship. What a crock.
The book provides a great back-story to Princess Diana's untimely death. But there is no prediction about an impending car accident as Diana's Butler Paul Burrell now claims. However she did make a haunting prediction in 1992 on page 220 that did come true, "I am performing a duty as the Princess of Wales ... but I don't see it any longer than 15 years."
A good introduction to someone who knows nothing about Diana.
This is an interesting read on the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and about as close as anyone ever got to writing an authorized biography of her life. Only a few years after her death was it revealed that Diana, indeed, made audiotape interviews of herself spilling the Windsor's secrets and passed them to Morton through a third party (so he could never say he interviewed her).
The pictures are very interesting and the information on the state of Charles's and Diana's marriage were indeed juicy.
A great read.
I give this book 5 stars because this is historically accurate biographical information told by the woman that was behind it from the beginning, Diana. This is a classic biography.
The factual aspects of the book are good and have good details about Princess Diana. I did like getting a behind-the-scenes look at her life and story.
Now, I understand that when a person dies the contractual silence agreements are void; however, I don't think that justifies the way this book was written. I do understand that Andrew Morton has a need to make money, but is it ethical for him to take the information she gave to him in confidence and splash it across this book while judging her? She clearly expressed that she did NOT want to be named as a source, so his solution was to wait until her death to do so?
Yes, it is stated in the book indirectly that practically everyone knew that she was the source, but was there a need to confirm it and judge her while doing so?
I thought when I bought this book that it would be an objective piece that would illustrate how she viewed her own life (e.g. from interviews or things she wanted the public to know she said). I didn't appreciate the author's judgements of her and his comments about her personality. It was almost as if he had turned against her after she had died so that he could sell more books.
Just goes to show that you shouldn't let the press in too close.
I will probably end up reading the first version of this book which is closer to what Princess Diana would have wanted us to see while she was alive.
When this book was published in 1992, it was dismissed by the establishemnt as being a pack of lies, but ultimately they, and the public too, discovered that it wasn't when Charles admitted his infidelity with the redoubtably ugly and gauche Camilla Parker Bowles, and when, in her astonishingly frank Panorama interview, Diana candidly shared the harrowing details of her eating disorder, bulimia.
This book succeeded on many levels. It certainly exposed the shocking truth about the Royal marriage and portrayed the Royal Family, for the first time ever, not as cherished icons but as ordinary individuals with more than their share of character defects (and this means Diana, too!) But it ultimately succeeded in its portrayal of an immature twenty year old girl, who won the hearts of the world when she kissed the Prince, only to have him become a toad, to the beautiful, compassionate symbol of kindness, caring, and humanity that she was when she was so tragically snatched away from the world. For it was the publication of this book that enabled Diana to seek a new life for herself, and in doing so she developed the character traits that enabled us all to fall in love her, this time more completely, again and again and again.

Its very unfortunate that the Kenya government chose to use Kenya's corruption, inefficiency and ineptitude to defend President Uhuru at the ICC. Charity Ngilu says that because there are about 1.3 million misplaced or lost at the lands office, they can't trace any land registered in Uhuru Kenyatta's name. In otehr words, its good that the Land Registry is in that sorry state, so that evidence against Uhuru is not available. The Registrar of companies says because their system was manual before 2009, they could not terrace any company owned by or associated with Uhuru. Supposing Uhuru asked the same Lands Registry to look for ANY land in Kenya owned by Wahome or his family, would it take them even 10 minutes to locate it? If he wanted to know any company/companies registered by Wahome or Lempaa Soyianka with our PIN number alone, they would get them in three minutes. The 1.3 million files Ngilu talked about are in Nairobi Lands Registry. How about other offices in Kiambu and Coast, is it possible to ...

A good number of CORD supporters are nursing serious injuries after they were beaten by police along Nairobi's Tom Mboya Street. Trouble started after a few goons started forcing shop owners to close shops along Moi and Tom Mboya avenues to attend the CORD rally at Uhuru Park. Others were trying to loot mobile phone shops but police, who were on standby moved in with speed arresting a number while a good number escaped with serious injuries. At Kenyatta Avenue, police managed to contain a section of CORD rally attendants jamming Kenyatta Avenue, Nairobi, protesting against the screening by police. Meanwhile, President Uhuru Kenyatta will today visit the National Lands Office in Ruaraka amid high tension in the area. The President will be accompanied by Lands Cabinet Secretary, Charity Ngilu.
Why Kenyans are yearninh for a National Dialogue and they want discussed as a matter of urgency: (a) exclusionary policies of the Jubilee govt (b) a timid,clueless national Cabìnet that act like school prefects and class monitors (c) the on-off of the Jubilee national policies/projects and why they stall mid-stream. Examples- lap-top,SGR, ten huts,CCT camera security. (d) Anglo Leasing 'greasing'/oiling (e)run-away tribalism (f) thieving from public coffers (g) activities of CS Charity Ngilu vis a vis the National Land Commission. Those are my 7-point items that should be in tommorrow's 7-7 list of demands for Dialogue.

Is this government serious to implement land reforms? Has it given the commission full machinery in terms of power and monies to act in its full capacity? why is the chairman and his team constantly been interfered with the cabinet secretary charity ngilu? by blinding people with those few title deeds whose legality can be questioned solve this issue? why are individuals and families holding large chunks of land which they acquired mischievously not being brought to book and yet the TJRC report showed even how the presidents family illegally acquired lands. why are the recommendations of this report not being implemented? WHEN WILL COAST PROVINCE GET JUSTICE?
The direction we are taking as a country is worrying.The frictions we are witnessing may appear like the usual political fights but behind the veil lies real dangers and threat to democracy. Parliamentary dictatorship is slowly but in a calculated way encroaching on every aspect of our democratic life. Parliamentarians are mowing down anything standing on their way & soon they will be the only objects standing. They intend to slash the JSC budget and have asked the President to block 25 new judges and are all over disobeying court orders. Police vetting is in jeopardy and changes in the police service have stalled. Lands minister Charity Ngilu has no time for the National Lands Commission yet this was one the agenda four issues. MP's working extra hard to weaken the county Governors and wants to control how funds are used and are in a wolf's way planning to exclude themselves from SRC so that they can determine their salaries & benefits. And with the media down with heft fines incase of errors or profess ...

NDUMBERI A town of golf, gamblers and prominent people Fifteen Kilometres from the city centre on your way to Kiambu is Ndumberi. The township is located on the Githiga-Githunguri road junction, just three kilometres from Kiambu Town. Two modern joints; the Sam's Pavilion and the Kontainer bar have given Ndumberi a major facelift and it is now frequented by prominent clients from far and wide. Our town rarely makes headlines. Some few years back, Ndumberi hit the news when a man raped and murdered a small girl then dumped her body in a coffee plantation. It was in the news again last year when one Andrew Mbugua, a transgender, went to court to demand that Knec changes the name on the primary school certificate to reflect the new gender 'he' had assumed. But Ndumberi is not only known for a few eccentric behaviours and congestion. Its three main unique characteristics are gambling, golf and producing prominent personalities. Gambling and betting are in people's blood. Near the main bus terminus, yo ...

Leadership is about exhibiting maturity at all levels this helps in managing the day to day leadership challenges and embracing the various group dynamics. Way back in 2011 Hon. Charity Ngilu deliberately refused to shake hands with the then vice president Hon. Kalonzo, strangely enough our able DSG yesterday in Machakos deliberately refused to shake the hands of her predecessor. A leader by all intent is supposed to unite the led not use uncouth means to divide a united front or purport to exhibit high handedness in certain fronts of leadership or lack of it. That high level of immaturity, childishness is not good for the club at a time when the Secretary General and other stakeholders are working day and night to bring the much needed change in the club. Gor Mahia positions should not be used as battle grounds for showing individual misgivings and personal vendetta such posts should not be bequeathed to people who exhibit such childish traits in private and public fora.
In 2002 Charity Ngilu NARC gave Retired President Kibaki a ride to State house only for he the President and his cronies to try to own and buy it but Charity frustrated their bid and the only option was to craft PNU.Do you think TNA Sakaja and Oloo will let the party go to those who want to own it and make it their entity or will they stand grounds against the Centralians mafias like Charity Ngilu?

Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has urged former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka to put his Wiper Democratic Party house in order. Dr Mutua, who was opening the second session of the Machakos County Assembly, said too much infighting among Wiper leaders in Ukambani, the stronghold of the party, does not put it image any good. "From Kitui to Makueni and Machakos counties, we are reading negative stories associated with elected Wiper leaders. The question is why are we having this infighting?" the governor asked. MOVE WITH SPEED Dr Mutua said negative politics is not only a problem in Kenya but is also responsible for retarding growth in Africa. "My appeal to Mr Musyoka is to move with speed to galvanise the Kamba community; the time has come for us leaders to work together by joining forces. I dream, and hope, as many of our people do, for the day all our leaders — Kalonzo Musyoka, Charity Ngilu, governors, senators, MPs, county assembly leaders and church leaders –– will join hands and work toge ...
Kenya as a whole is right at the cemtre of a constitutional crisis! Embu county assembly ignored a court order staying them from debating over the impeechment of their governor, the Senate ignored the same, yet both Legislature and Judiciary, just as the Execative are superrior arms of the government! It follows a show down war between the National Assembly and Judiciary over the infamous sacking of Chief registrar of the Judiciary, Gladys Boss Sholei by the JSC, where both arms openly and with impunity violated the constitution. It has also been observed that the appointment of some Heads of Parastatals by President Kenyatta was done in contravention of the law, in which cases, The Attoney General who is the Chief Legal Advisor of the government have purported that his advice was not heeded to! Not only that, Lands cabinate secretary, Charity Ngilu made unconstitutional appointments but no disciplinary action was taken as contemplated by the law! WHAT A TOTAL MESS!
That Alfred Mutua could run for President in 2017, is an issue some Ukambani leaders are openly talking about.

These are the people who will turn against odm come 2017 and prove that they were indeed owners of the party!!

Kalonzo is a politcian who cannot stand on his feet.let kalonzo convince kenyans why he should be given leadership after doing absolutely nothing in mwingi north for over 28 years.can he help kenya move forward if failed for that long.if kambas want their own to be a leader then D.R.ALFRED MUTUA or charity ngilu are better bets for development.kwani watermelon can give rise to maize,read bible and u wil find not possible.ukambani mps change ur candidate for presidency if u want true leadership and development for entire kenya.dont be egocentric,why prefer kalonzo when u know very well he has done nothing.Even some councillors did better than him.kenya is more important than anybody,it needs a leader like peter kenneth.nc dei.
Since Arsenal last won a trophy... August 1, 2013 at 11:39am Since Arsenal last won a trophy (21st May 2005):8 years, 9 months, 8 days, 20 hours, 12 minutes and 29 seconds ago. Let's take a look at some of the things that have happened since then: 1. Lionel Messi turned professional & won 78 individual trophies/awards, including 4 consecutive Ballon d'Ors. 2. Steven Gerrard has played over 340 games for Liverpool. 3. Arsenal have bought 49 players and sold 79. The players were bought at an average of 4.642 million. This means that Wanyama is more equal to two average Arsenal player 4. Members of that 2005 have won 53 trophies elsewhere. So perhaps arsenal is the problem and not players 5. Chelsea have had 9 different managers. 6. Lionel Messi has scored 269 goals (FYI 51 goals more than combining the total goals scored by the Arzsenal goals for the last 3 seasons and 107 more by the combined teams top scorers) 7. Arsene Wenger has earned over £56m in wages. 8. 29 different English teams have won domest ...
CHALLENGE TO YOU like the presidency and running mate seats in national politics are associated with men, so are chairman and secretary general seats in campus politics. Few women dare upset the status quo. But one Muthoni Ouko dared change that script while at Moi University, earning herself the name Mama Rainbow. Muthoni, the CEO of Elimu Yetu Coalition, was the first woman to be elected in the secretary general position in the history of Moi Univerity politics. From that day she paved the way for women to vie for the male-dominated seats. She recounts her journey: "My being elected was the beginning of a revolution in several ways." FIRM CRUSADER "I discovered my passion for championing for people's rights while I was in campus. That time, there were very few seats in classes, not enough beds in hostels, toilets were flooding and a few lights and sockets were functioning. It was complete mismanagement of the university." She was in campus during an interesting political period: in 2002 when t ...
you kamba politicians need to keep quiet and let mutua do his things ,some of you were mps and there is nothing you can show in terms of developments.we are tired of unnecessary political feuds in ukambani. Remember muli mutisya vs paul Ngei,Kalonzo Musyoka vs Charity Ngilu and now Mutua vs Muthama. It will be remembered that the same politicians refuted reports that kambas were dying of hunger until one lady fed her kids with dog meat.THE BEST DR. MUTUA SHOULD DO NOW IS JUST NOT TO REACT TO THEIR THEATRICS,I REST MY CASE:

So, can President Uhuru Kenyatta steal any MONEY from his Government ….. LOOK at what he told his Cabinet SECRETLY. Wednesday January, 29, 2014 - On Tuesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta caused jitters in his Cabinet when he reportedly told them that he is more than rich to steal any cent from the public coffers. During a heated Cabinet meeting, Uhuru sought explanation on why some Cabinet Secretaries are involving themselves in corruption practices that are tarnishing the good name of the Jubilee Government. According to a source privy to the meeting, Uhuru read riot act to Lands Cabinet Secretary, Charity Ngilu, and his Labour counterpart, Kazungu Kambi, and urged them to eliminate corruption in their Ministries or they face the sack. Regarding the controversial standard gauge railway, Uhuru ordered Transport Cabinet Secretary, Engineer Michael Kamau to furnish Kenyans with details of the railway project within 7 days or face the sack. He also told all Cabinet Secretaries to provide him with details of th ...

The President of the Republic of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta and the Deputy President William Ruto are currently issuing a press statement on the STANDARD GAUGE RAILWAY PROJECT. He has defended the railway project and stated that it is set to go on. He is flanked by cabinet secretaries Henry Rotich, Davis Chirchir, Charity Ngilu, Adan Mohammed, Eng. Michael Kamau, Kimemia, Jacob Kaimenyi, Attorney General Githu Muigai. What are your thoughts on the same?

The Cabinet Secretary for Lands Charity Ngilu narrowly escaped removal by Parliament recently for making irregular appointments. Again she is caught up in a web of pushing to regularized the same illegalities. Surely old habits of underhand deals diehard irrespective of new laws. How will MPs treat her this time round?
The Lands CS Hon Charity Ngilu is allergic n traditionally does not want to work with Kisii in senior position.Her 1st target in the Ministry of Lands was to remove Mabea.She had done the same at the ministry of Health when she forced Dr Onguti out replacing him wth a Mkamba profession n competence notwithstanding.Dr Onguti's removal was declared irregular n therefore a cost borne by the public to compensate him.
10DAYS REMAINING . This is the month when many men are incapable of claiming to be jogoo in their houses because their wallets are in a very sorry state. It is the month that the children of the said men get to see their fathers properly because they are forced to go home by the jubilee state of their wallets. Right now, I am not worried by the fact that I'm married to a Eve who has a big memory. What I am worried about is the fact that ever since women started carrying flags on their cars, I am a man in trouble. I am talking about the likes of Martha Karua and Charity Ngilu. Ever since they got the flags on their cars, I have either been treated like a criminal or, sometimes, as if I don't exist in my own house.
LANDS MINISTRY IN DISARRAY Operations at the Ministry of Lands are likely to be thrown into disarray after the Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu threw out seven senior officers on Monday evening. Among those kicked out is former Lands Commissioner Zablon Mabea who has been transferred to the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination. Mabeya and six of his colleagues got letters from PS Mariamu El Maawy at about 3pm on Monday instructing them to hand over to Director of Housing Ibrahim Hussein before the end of business and report immediately to their new stations. Mrs Ngilu though may find herself in the wrong table with the National Assembly Committee on Lands, which has ocassionally warned her against pushing out the officials and replacing them with her own team.

When KANU and NDP got married, a time came when the NDP leader moved out according to African culture that once a young man graduates into adulthood, he can't sleep under the same roof with his parents. The leader then had to put up his isimba (Luhya grass-thatched house for young adults once initiated into adulthood) – LDP. As a mature man (politically), he had to get married and of course get blessed with children. Then VP Moody Awouri, Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi, the Late George Saitoti, and Mwai Kibaki, among others became the sons and daughters of LDP under the leadership of Raila Odinga as the head of the family. In African culture, a true African man's wealth is measured on how many wives and children he has. ODM wife was then married and bore five pentagon children, William Ruto, Najib Balala, Charity Ngilu, Musalia Mudavadi (Step mother) and Joseph Nyaga. A good father celebrates when his children are doing well socio-economically and even politically. Today from the ODM mother came ...
Abduba Dida is one of the candidates who were sponsored by Mt. Kenya mafia during march elections to scatter Raila's votes. Divide and rule is their policy.
