Osho,The Bauls sing:
My heartdress yourself in the spirit of all women and reverse your nature and habits. Millions of suns will burst open with brilliance and the formless in visual forms.
You will see what cannot be seen only if you can be the formless in you.
The song for today:
My heart dress yourself in the spirit of all women and reverse your nature and habits. Millions of suns will burst open with brilliance and the formless in visual forms.
The song is tremendously important, is very basic to the Baul attitude. There are two approaches towards God: one is of the male mind - aggressive, active; the other is of the feminine mind - passive, receptive. Bauls belong to the second approach, just as Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu belong to the second approach. Mahavira and Patanjali belong to the first approach.
The male mind seeks and searches for God as if God is somewhere else and has to be discovered. The feminine mind simply prays and waits. The feminine mind trusts that: "When I am ready, God will come to me." It is God who comes, not the seeker who goes to God. And, in fact, how can you seek God? You don't know him, you don't know his address, you don't know the direction, you don't know the definition. And even if you come across him, how are you going to recognize him? Because recognition is possible only if you have known him before.
All search in a way is futile. And because of the male mind, atheism has become very predominant in the world. It is the failure of the male mind that atheism has become so prevalent. In the West atheism has become really the greatest religion - because the West is male oriented. The very orientation is of conquering - as if there is a fight between man and God, as if there is a tussle, a wrestling. In the West the result of this effort has been only that God has completely disappeared. Nietzsche declared, "God is dead." Nietzsche is the very essence of the male mind: will to power, will to dominate, will to possess. If you search for him too much, your very search will become a barrier.

This Saturday night in Dublin...
Obviosuly im bias, but 100% behind Saul in this. I think stylr wise, he can trouble Mcguire. But definately a BIG test for him. Sure he will do himself proud though
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
I've slowly lost touch with the domestic scene over the last couple of years but Saul is someone I'd like to see fight live as he comes with a tremendous amount of hype, this is a huge fight for him.
Is this being televised ?
Doesn't have a signature anymore
I think Saul will win this, his grappling is on par with Johns and his physical strength and pressure can do the job.
Gonna be a serious wrestle fest... think it will go the distance!

So I was watching Julia Sweeney on Morning Joe this morning because she's on tour for her new book "If It's Not One Thing It's Your Mother." In the course of talking about being a mother she talked about how as they get older it goes from being physically demanding to really tough mind games with school age children.
She kind of threw it out there as an aside but she said she advises new mothers to plan your life so that if you can stay home, do it during the school years.
She even said "I feel like you should work the most when the kids are really young." When they are little it's just diapers and chasing them around. So if you have a loving nanny, that's good enough, she said. But once they get into school its a mental game
"I feel like the game really kicks in when they are older,"
When they get older and if you can be home when they get home from school you can visit and deal with whatever happened in school that day and that's when the memories are made.
I have to admit I really agree. I cut back to part time when my kids came along and I spent 10 years doing that. Now I'm back to full time and my youngest is in third grade and I really miss the afternoons with them. By the time I get home they've already talked out what happened and so very often forget to tell me stuff, like report cards arrived or they had school pictures that day or whatever.
Looking back I would have flipped it. They both took 2 naps until age 2 and then napped every day until kindergarten so it's not like I would have been missing much. I still would have been there in the mornings and nights and my kids' preschool was 2 blocks from my office so I would have had lunch with them regularly. And they really have no memory of the toddler music classes we did or the library trips we took. They do however love that I take spring break week off with them and we go to the beach, invite their friends over, etc.
If given a choice, which age would you rather stay home with kids and why?

Webb, Edwin Yates
23 May 1872–7 Feb. 1955
Edwin Yates Webb, congressman and federal judge, was born in Shelby, the son of the Reverend George M., a Baptist minister, and Priscilla Jane Blanton Webb. He received an undergraduate degree from Wake Forest College (1893), studied law at The University of North Carolina (1893–94), did postgraduate work at the University of Virginia, and was awarded the LL.D. degree by Davidson College (1918). In 1894 he was both admitted to the bar and elected to the state senate. He won a seat in Congress in 1900 and served eight terms; he was coauthor of the Webb-Kenyon Act and the bill establishing the Boy Scouts of America. He introduced the Webb Export Act, helped to write the Eighteenth Amendment, and played a significant role in shaping the Pure Food and Drug Laws. He also submitted the bill for appropriations to erect a monument at Kings Mountain commemorating the American victory there on 7 Oct. 1780.
Webb and his brother, state senator and superior court judge James L. Webb, and other men in their part of the state associated themselves in support of political activities. For many years in the 1920s and 1930s they gave North Carolina and the nation leaders so outstanding that their effectiveness came to be labeled "The Shelby Dynasty." The Webbs' concerns were broader than mere politics, as they promoted broad educational and religious interests throughout a state in which their constructive involvement was widely acclaimed. Their role was recognized in the establishment of Gardner-Webb College, a four-year Baptist institution at Boiling Springs, near Shelby. Webb was honored with a testimonial dinner at the college on his eightieth birthday, and a portrait of him hangs in its library. Other portraits of Webb are in the federal courtroom in Charlotte and in the Cleveland County Courthouse, in Shelby, where he presided for thirty-six years.
He was a leading layman of the First Baptist Church of Shelby, moderator of the Kings Mountain Baptist Association, and a member of the Kiwanis Club. Webb's first wife was Willie Simmons of Wake Forest, and they were the parents of Elizabeth, Edwin, Jr., and William. His second wife was Mrs. Alice Pender Taylor of Tarboro and Asheville. He was buried in Sunset Cemetery, Shelby.

The mute light stays orange on them. The key is not mapped to anything under BT.
If you'd like to use it, look up key mapping.
As for checking the sound settings try alsamixer, from a console. Use alsa ctl to store setting changes.

This is the electric bicycle that provides riders with a suite of advanced features for a safer commute. Its LCD illuminates the current speed, indicates voltage left on its battery, and indicates when its headlight, rear light, and turn indicators are active, keeping a rider's attention on the road instead of controls. Dual rear-view mirrors ensure maximum road visibility. The bicycle's 500-watt electric motor propels up to two riders weighing up to 300 lbs. to a maximum speed of 20 mph. Dual 18" pneumatic tires grip the pavement for confident turns and the front and rear disc brakes enable quick stops. A storage compartment beneath the seat locks to keep valuables secure, and the bicycle can be locked to a bike rack or parked on the street like a scooter. The 48-volt lithium-ion battery powers the bicycle for up to 40 miles after a five-hour charge via the included AC adapter; its pedals also deploy for human-powered propulsion (and recharging) for unlimited range.

Topic: fever between chemo treatments
Hi all,
Has anyone had any experiecnce with fever between chemo treatments? my mom did the last CT scan two weeks ago, and since she had fever on and off (around 102 degrees). It goes down during the days, but usually comes back at night.
Also, we are suppose to start a new protocol of chemo (gemzar and xeloda) + Avastin. Has anyone faced the dilema of giving treatment while the patient has fever? is that possible? the doctors dont know what is the source to this fever (her blood count is normal, and there is no other evidence of inflamation). It has been 4 weeks since the last treatment and in the first couple of weeks (before the CT scan) she didn't have fever at all.

Last-Minute Family History Gifts
Posted by
If you're scrambling to find just the right presents or you've finally faced the fact that the family history book you planned to give the year won't be ready in time for Christmas, consider one of these ideas for a quick, family history-themed gift:
A framed family photo
showing ancestors or an old family home. You also could use ephemera, such as a letter (scan and print color copies for framing). My aunt did this with a handwritten poem my great-aunt wrote about relatives who went to fight in World War II.
Write a few of Grandma's recipes on pretty
recipe cards
, and give them with a recipe box, a wooden rolling pin or a baking dish.
A filled-in
decorative family tree chart
. I like this fan chart from
or try one of the charts you can fill in and print from
The Family ChArtist
photo CD
with digitized family photos and documents.
photo blocks
, which Family Archivist columnist Sunny McClellan Morton created for our December 2009 issue. Purchase the wooden blocks at a craft store and cut photos to fit. Use Mod Podge to attach the photos to the blocks.
To make these
refrigerator magnets
, use clear-drying glue such as Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue to adhere pictures to the backs of glass gems. Let dry, then trim the photo and glue a magnet to the back of the picture.

Ohio Town's House History and Genealogy Meet on Free Site
Posted by
What started as a survey of house histories has turned into a website with genealogy information for an entire community.
In 1995, the women's club in Terrace Park, Ohio—a village of 2,267 residents and 1.25 square miles—asked every resident to fill out a survey about the history of local buildings.
Leland Cole designed an online home for the data: the
Terrace Park, Ohio, Building Survey website
. Now Cole and his wife, Carol, add to the site with help from the women's club.
In all, the free site describes about 925 buildings. You can find all kinds information, including when a house or other structure was built, what it's made of, its uses, changes made, owners' names and ownership dates, notes about resident families from maps and phone and city directories, and more.
Most listings have links to photos of the property, a deed index and owners' census transcriptions from 1810 to 1930.
The page for
203 Marietta St.
, for example, tells you the original owners, the West family, occupied the house from 1890 to 1951. Samuel Adams West was an attorney; his family was related to Oliver Robertson of 602 Miami Ave. The page gives birth and death dates for many occupants, transcribes their census records, and has photos showing how the house has changed over the years.
You can use the Terrace Park building survey site in several ways:
Click Search to search for a person's name or other words in building descriptions. You'll get a list of results for related buildings; click one to see information for that building.
Click Street Index to browse to a street name, then click the house number you're looking for.
Use the links on the left side of the home page to browse the site's deed records, census records and burial information.
Click Related Information to read background material on the community and local organizations.
Researching your ancestors' neighbors and associates is one way to get around genealogical brick walls, and it gives you a really good picture of how your ancestor lived. Cole's site—the only one of its kind I've found —provides rich detail for people with Terrace Park ancestors.
To find historical and genealogical information from your ancestral hometown, try clicking around the county's
site, visiting the local historical or genealogical association site, and running a
search on the county or town name and
census records

GNELOG License Plates
Posted by
We were out and about yesterday when we spotted this license plate.
Maybe the driver didn't mean for the plate to be genealogical, but that's how we're taking it: Galicia is the name for both a community in northwestern Spain with roots going back to the
Kingdom of Galicia
, and a
historical region of east-Central Europe
now in Poland and Ukraine.
That got us thinking about other genealogy license plates you could make with the seven-character alphanumeric combo Ohio allows. We came up with GEDCOM, 3RD GR8 (or 4TH GRT, 5TH GR8 and so on), FMLY TRE and IMA MUTT.
Today I discovered others have already played this game—
Mark Tucker's Think Genealogy blog has plenty of good ideas for the next time you renew your plates
If you're having trouble condensing your love for genealogy into letters and numbers that'll fit on a plate, type a word or phrase into the
Vanity License Plate Generator
and it'll help you shorten your thought.

Tips for Taking Holiday Photos
Posted by
The holidays may be the biggest workout your camera gets all year. And this might be the only time you get a chance to take pictures of far-flung friends and family. Use these tips for taking great snapshots:
Get familiar with your camera's settings ahead of time so you're not fiddling with buttons as the Kodak moments happen around you
It's easy to forget your camera when you also have to remember all the presents and the green bean casserole, so get it ready to go. Charge the batteries, find the extra ones and make sure there's room on the memory card.
Take a lot of pictures, trying the same scene zoomed in and out, and with and without flash. The beauty of digital photography is that you can look at the pictures later, decide what to keep and get rid of the bad shots.
Get close to your subject to avoid background distractions.
If you're taking pictures of holiday lights at night, the flash can overwhelm them and harshly illuminate people in the foreground. Try switching to your camera's nighttime setting—but you'll also need to use a tripod or steady the camera against a fence rail or table to avoid a blurry shot.
This article has more tips on tricky nightime lighting situations
Some digital cameras have a delay after you press the shutter, so you may need to anticipate a shot and click the shutter a split second early.
Learn your camera's timer feature so you can take a photo of the whole gang together. Position people at different levels (some sitting, some standing) and take plenty of shots to increase the chances of everyone's eyes being open at the same time.

Ancestry.com Upgrades Census Collection
Posted by
If you've been unable to find your ancestors in US census records on subscription genealogy site
, it may be time to try again. The site just released enhanced images and/or indexes for six more census.
Added to upgrades implemented a few months ago, that means improved images for the 1790 through 1900 censuses, and better indexes for the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1900 censuses. In all, that's 200 million improved census records.
Ancestry.com's new indexes and images are a result of a
resource-exchanging partnership with FamilySearch announced in 2008
. FamilySearch provided Ancestry.com with its census images; Ancestry.com gave its index to FamilySearch volunteer indexers to use as a "first draft."
Digital enhancements and higher-resolution images have given the records a cleaner look. In some cases, you can read names that were previously illegible because they were too light, dark, blurry or faded, or were obscured by something such as tape.
Here's a before (left) and after (right) from the 1860 census;
see more examples on Ancestry.com
Improvements to the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census collections are the works.

Hanukkah History
Posted by
The eight days of Hanukkah begin this Friday at sundown, when Jews light the first candle on a special nine-branch menorah.
The holiday commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Seleucid Empire in the second century BC. There was enough oil to burn for only one day, but the light miraculously burned for eight days.

Related: World Series of Beach Volleyball begins in Long Beach
Photos: World Series of Beach Volleyball in Long Beach
Live updates: Latest news, video and photos throughout the event
Beach volleyball is back in Southern California and not a moment too soon.
For the first time in 10 years, the international stars of the FIVB will challenge for a crown. And the Long Beach Grand Slam, combined with the World Series of Beach Volleyball, serves as a kickoff to the summer season in the birthplace of the sport.
For two summers, though, the sport has floundered here after the Association of Volleyball Professionals folded on the eve of the 2010 Manhattan Beach Open. This week stands as a re-ignition of the sport and when the new AVP kick-starts its schedule next month, there figures to be a new momentum.
Former AVP MVP Jake Gibb, a two-time Olympian who has basically staked his career on the international game for seven years, can't wait and understands the importance of the American tours, which also includes the National Volleyball League.
In fact, Gibb said, a sliver of a generation of U.S. players might have been lost just as the world begins to turn its attention to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
"I think we would have if the AVP didn't come back this year and they're coming back in a big way, so I'm excited about that," Gibb said Monday as he prepared to start the Long Beach tournament. "The AVP in my mind has always been the best grassroots program for the Olympic stars, for the best in the world. That's how I started. You learn how to win on the AVP, and then you go on to the international game. It's a real simple progression and it makes sense."
The 37-year-old Gibb played in the last two Olympiads with Sean Rosenthal, but now he has teamed with Casey Patterson and they've proved they are a threat in any tournament. They won in Shanghai, they took second in Argentina and are coming off a third-place finish last week in Gstaad, Switzerland.
But now they're home.
"People don't understand how cool it is for us -- first of all, to let our family and friends and fans see how good the world is," Gibb said. "When we travel, guys are like 'You lost to Latvia? You lost to Estonia?' They don't understand how good the world is. It's really cool for them all to see how good they are. That's what I'm kind of more stoked about than anything."
For Patterson, a 33-year-old Van Nuys native, the win in China was his first on the international tour. And he has proved to be a spark for Gibb after Rosenthal teamed with 2008 Olympic gold medalist Phil Dalhausser.
"We just talked and (Rosenthal) just said, 'Hey man, I have a chance to play with Phil,' and it just made sense," Gibb said. "We played together for seven years and they have a chance to play together for seven years because they're the same age (33). It made sense.
"It's tough, but also sometimes you have a lull after an Olympic quad. It was nice for me to have a new partner and new energy and new fire. It helped with how we've been playing this year.
"Playing with Casey is awesome. He's just nothing but good energy and exciting and has so much excitement for the game, so it transfers to me."
Still going strong
Another veteran who is defying his age is Brazilian Emanuel Rego, one of the most decorated players of all time. The 40-year-old Rego has won Olympic gold, silver and bronze and has captured 77 international titles after winning seven times on the AVP tour back when he was a Redondo Beach resident.
The last time he stepped on American soil, he and partner Ricardo Santos won in Carson at the then-Home Depot Center, which was the last time the FIVB played in the United States. His partner now is 27-year-old Alison Cerutti, and the duo took silver at the London Olympics.
"It was a good moment (in 2003), because I played with my old partner Ricardo," Emanuel said. "That was the best partner that I had all these times, because we won everything. But now I play with Alison, he's one of the stars of the next generation. That's where I put all my energy and give him all the experience he needs, so I'm very satisfied with all we've done since the Olympics and the year before."
Gibb calls Emanuel "an inspiration." What keeps him going?
"First of all, the challenge," Emanuel said. "Any time you have a new generation of athletes coming, it's a new way to play beach volleyball, it's a new way to go through the emotions during a game. It brings me a lot of challenges inside of me to keep playing."
He credits his start in Southern California for his success.
"I have really good memories because the best moments of my life were here when I started to build a really good career, like a professional career," Emanuel said. "I learned so many things with Karch (Kiraly), with Adam Johnson, the old players, they passed me a lot of experience.
"This place is a blessing. I lived in Redondo and practiced in Manhattan, always a good way to see beach volleyball. It's more of a style of life and I love that."
Late scratch
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings, who made her 2013 debut in Gstaad after the birth of her third child, had to pull out of the Grand Slam because of an abdominal injury. She was slated to play with Whitney Pavlik, who will now partner with veteran Annett Davis of Valencia.
Walsh Jennings and Pavlik are still entered in this weekend's World Series of Beach Volleyball at the same venue as the Grand Slam.
Off and running
Three men's teams and four women's teams advanced through qualifying matches on Monday, and pool play for the men and women begins today.
Thirty-two men's and women's teams are aiming for the title in the sixth of the 10 Grand Slam events on the worldwide tour.
In addition, this weekend the World Series of Beach Volleyball will be contested with two American teams of each gender against international teams, with the final scheduled for Sunday.

Tony Romo's season is over, and the Dallas Cowboys will have to win without their star quarterback in a third straight playoffs-or-bust finale.
Coach Jason Garrett said Romo had back surgery Friday, and Kyle Orton will start when Dallas faces Philadelphia on Sunday night with the NFC East title and a postseason berth on the line.
Garrett said Romo underwent treatment all week in hopes of playing after injuring his back in a season-saving 24-23 victory against Washington. The winning TD came after the injury on Romo's fourth-down pass to DeMarco Murray in the final 2 minutes.
Romo hurt himself when he tripped over his foot while trying to escape pressure earlier in the fourth quarter.
"He might have had his finest hour against [Washington] last week, what he did at the end of that ballgame under the circumstances," Garrett said. "Pretty special."
Around the league
Packers • Linebacker Clay Matthews had surgery after aggravating a thumb injury in last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Coach Mike McCarthy said he didn't know when Matthews would return.
Vikings • Adrian Peterson has created big Metrodome moments. Now it looks as if he won't play in Sunday's final game in the 31-year-old stadium. The running back tried to play through a sprained right foot and a lingering groin injury, but he is doubtful for the final regular-season game against the Detroit Lions.
Patriots • New England released ex-BYU receiver Austin Collie for the second time this season. Collie became expendable with rookie receiver Aaron Dobson returning from injury last week and with fellow rookie Kenbrell Thompkins close to a return.

The grainy, black-and-white photos on the wall of the principal's office at St. Anthony of Padua School in Gardena offer a telling story of change.
In the photos, grim-faced nuns and the young students they taught stand before a row of tents erected to handle an overflow of students who couldn't fit in the classrooms.
Now, the 80-year-old school of a 100-year-old church faces the opposite problem.
Owing mostly to the stagnant economy, enrollment at the K-8 school - like so many other parochial schools across the state and nation - has suffered a slow but steady decline, shrinking from 210 just before the onset of the Great Recession to an anemic 158 this fall.
By last spring, fundraising drives were being characterized as a fight for survival. Then came the new principal, Micah Sumner, a 31-year-old whose penchant for corduroy sport coats and square-end ties lends him a certain hipster appeal.
Since his arrival in the fall, the school seems to have become unstuck in time, leaping from last century in temperament to the year 2013 in a matter of months. His arrival also seems to have loosened the purse strings of parishioners, alums and other donors.
"His leadership style is A-plus; it's what we needed," said Fatima Fodera, president of the school's parent leadership committee - as well as a former student. "People feel they are being heard, and he has our back."
Using a blend of donations and tuition money, the school this fall purchased dozens of iPads for students, as well as smartboards and document cameras for teachers. For the first time, the school has a website, on which all teachers are expected to blog daily - and on which students regularly comment. All the classrooms are outfitted with Wi-Fi.
Other recent donations are not technological in nature. They include the granite replacement on the 40-year-old drinking fountains, which were caked with grime, as well as donated equipment for a playground and the school's first-ever soccer field. Surrounding these spaces is a $7,000 fence, erected for free by the company California Fence. Even the basketball hoops on the blacktops have been spruced up, with their once-naked rims now festooned with nets.
Still more changes are pedagogical. Just this year, the school began admitting kindergartners.
Sumner claims that his school has already implemented new national standards - called Common Core - that call for more in-depth teaching, and which must be implemented in all California public schools by 2014-15.
"Because we're a private school, we can make changes instantly," he said. "There's not a bureaucracy that I have to answer to. I work directly with the pastor, and it was as simple as: `Hey, we need to do Common Core."'
Sumner is also trying to get the school back to its Catholic roots. Students are expected to don formalwear for Friday morning Mass, and now begin every morning with a prayer.
But is it all enough to keep the school open and thriving?
Unlike the parochial schools in the South Bay beach cities, St. Anthony draws from a client base that often struggles to pay tuition, which hovers around $4,000 a year per student. Many of its students - 85 percent of whom are Latino - come from working-class families, and it isn't uncommon for parents to lose their jobs midyear.
Sumner claims this is the lowest private-school tuition in the South Bay, and he intends to keep it that way. But he put a stop to allowing families to stay at the school when they cannot make minimum payments.
"I have had to turn families away," he said. "We do need a certain amount."
Sumner says he feels their pain. Because he sends three of his four children to the school (the fourth is still too young), he can't afford a nice car.
"I drive a 2000 Honda Civic with a big ugly dent in the back," he said. "I drive it very happily because that's what it's taken to send my kids to a Catholic school."
A graduate of California State University, Fullerton, the Orange County native most recently worked as a history teacher at another Catholic school. Perhaps not surprisingly, Sumner's thesis for his master's degree in education-administration focused on incorporating technology in the classroom.
In one sense, Sumner's arrival to the school seems almost preordained. In September, after he'd landed the job, he learned that his mother had attended the school.
It was a neat discovery, but also increased the pressure he feels to succeed.
"I feel it upon my shoulders to continue 100 years of excellence," he said.

Longtime friend of Dispatches Ron Brown asks an interesting question at his blog: What is the most misunderstood idea of all time? He offers an initial suggestion that the most misunderstood is Descartes' famous statement cogito ergo sum, but I think his second idea is even more misunderstood:
* That evolution is driven by random chance. While genetic mutations occur at random, natural selection is the exact opposite of randomness.
* That evolutionary theory or Darwin himself ever argued for eugenics. Evolution is a theory of what is, not what ought. Further, in On The Origin of Species, Darwin specifically spoke against human eugenics.
There are so many misconceptions of what evolutionary theory means or requires that I would nominate this as the clear leader for the most misunderstood idea ever. Very few people understand what the theory of evolution is, what it entails or how it happened. How often do you hear people ask, "If we evolved from apes (or worse, monkeys), why are there still apes?" Anyone asking that question doesn't have the first clue how evolution works, yet it is staggeringly common.

Thread: Flacco's demeanor
Re: Flacco's demeanor
They respect him as a player/QB, that is all he needs. He doesn't have to be a 'leader."

Re: Flacco's demeanor
The only emotion I need to see from Flacco is the fist pump after the Ravens score a TD.... He does his job and mostly does it well. I don't need a showboater pumping up himself like Cam Newton or a sissymary like Tom Brady begging for "roughing the passer" calls just because he was pushed to the ground! Joe's referred as Joe Cool for THAT reason! He takes the good and bad...internalizes it all and comes back with a mission. When that mission is complete....the fist pump comes and the emotions are let out....ready to build again for the next offensive drive.
I'm looking forward to many fist pumps from Flacco today~!
Re: Flacco's demeanor
Of course, since none of us knows what was really going on behind the scenes, maybe he did try and it made no difference.
Now that Cam's gone, that's no longer an issue, and it does seem to have allowed Joe to be a little more demonstrative.

Re: Flacco's demeanor
In recent weeks, however, Caldwell's work with Flacco has gone a long way toward restoring his status as one of the N.F.L.'s more accomplished offensive gurus. In playoff victories over Indianapolis and Denver, Flacco threw for 613 yards and 5 touchdowns with no interceptions and a 120 passer rating.
Quarterback meetings with Caldwell, Flacco said, are all about open discussion. Flacco and his teammates have the freedom to float ideas past him. Anything is fair game. Caldwell listens nearly as much as he talks. "You can have honest conversations and grow your relationship," Flacco said.

Re: Flacco's demeanor
Anyone who wants to question his demeanor, listen at the end of the game, refs mike picked up this nugget, clearly Flacco's voice:
"We're gonna win a fucking ring!"
Case closed..
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!
Re: Flacco's demeanor
Speaking of calm demeanor, here is Jim Caldwell celebrating wildly after the Ravens victory over the Patriots!!!!! Someone please stop this man before the party gets out of control!! :happyanim
OK I am kidding. :) This photo is (I think?) from some other time. But if there is a calmer person on the planet than Jim Caldwell I have not seen him. Not even Flacco is this mellow.
And the more we hear, the more it sounds like J.C. has exactly the right kind of leadership style that Flacco and our offense needs. He listens to his players, especially the veterans who know what they are talking about. That's excellent.
Think back to 1 or 2 years ago and we all felt that Joe and our offense might, just might, be ready to turn the corner, put on their big boy pants and show us a real NFL offense. And it kept not happening, at least not with any reliable consistency.
Then Cam was shown the door, and they gave the keys to Jim Caldwell. And now we're seeing the offense we all suspected was lurking in there somewhere. The system and the players were not broken. It just needed to be used properly, and Jim is the man making that happen.
Re: Flacco's demeanor
Some more highlights:
...Heading into Sunday, Caldwell had made a handful of changes that bolstered the Ravens' offense. One was directing Flacco to roll out of the pocket with greater frequency, which helped stymie pass rushers. Linebackers and defensive ends are always trying to anticipate a quarterback's "launch point," Caldwell said. By keeping them guessing — would Flacco roll out? and if he did, would he move to his left or right? — Flacco bought additional time. The mere threat of being mobile made him more difficult to defend.
Even more important, Caldwell had called for Flacco to throw the ball deep far more often than he had under Cameron. Brock Huard, a former N.F.L. quarterback who spent two seasons with Caldwell in Indianapolis, said the move made a lot of sense. Known as a coach who typically plays to his quarterbacks' strengths, Caldwell wanted Flacco to showcase his spring-loaded arm...
When Huard joined the Colts as a backup in 2002, he felt confident walking into his first quarterbacks meeting with Manning and Caldwell...
He was mistaken, and he came to that realization within seconds of entering the room. Caldwell had covered every inch of several large whiteboards with opponents' tendencies, plays for various downs and distances, routes, cuts, schemes, checks and reads. Caldwell's penmanship was meticulous, Huard said, each formula and diagram etched with the steady hand of a surgeon. Huard found roughly 95 percent of it to be incomprehensible. After studying algebra, he had landed in a graduate-school seminar on thermodynamics...
...Huard said. "There were actually times during the season when I was like, 'Oh man, I hope Peyton doesn't get hurt.' Because what he and Jim were doing was so off-the-charts."
Asked when he finally felt he had gotten up to speed, Huard said: "Never. That's why I only lasted two years there."
As far back as 1993, when Caldwell became the coach at Wake Forest, it was clear to his players that he refused to be wedded to a single offensive philosophy...

A new promotional partner for Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond!
Hello all
I would like to introduce myself - my name is Holly Priddis, I'm a registered midwife of nearly 5 years and in my second year of my PhD, a mother of four children and a photographer who specialises in maternity and newborn photography.
I have been fortunate to have been given the opportunity to be a corporate promotional partner with Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond which means you will see me around the forums assisting with moderation, advertising for my photography business and articles from me both on photography and my PhD research topic - the experiences for women who have sustained 3rd or 4th degree perineal trauma during birth.
I would love to hear from any/all of you with any questions, comments or enquiries and look forward to getting to know you all.

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- The Illinois market for video lottery terminals, expected to launch next year, may be on its way to regulatory modifications demanded by Gov. Pat Quinn. These modifications are unpopular with the state's budding VLT industry.
State lawmakers on Nov. 9 narrowly failed to pass Senate Bill 1849, sponsored by state Rep. Lou Lang (D-Skokie), which would have skirted some of Gov. Pat Quinn's demands for gambling law reforms. The vote was 58 to 53.
The failure to pass the legislation makes it more likely that in order to win Quinn's support for statewide casino expansion, the General Assembly will eventually be forced to do everything the governor wants -- including create a local opt-in requirement for video lottery terminals; ban gambling operators (presumably including VLT owners) from making campaign contributions to politicians; and eliminate provisional video poker licenses. | SEE STORY
Provisional license regulations were part of the original 2009 Video Gaming Act or its trailer bill (regulatory implementation language). The amusement industry favored provisional licenses as a means to enable quick entry by operators into the VLT market.
But the Illinois Gaming Board had sharply criticized the provisional license procedure, claiming that criminal organizations would thus be permitted to enter the legal VLT business before they could be properly vetted.
In effect, the fate of the state's planned VLT industry appears to have become a pawn in a much larger battle as the governor and lawmakers struggle to control conditions for casino expansion.
Lawmakers want five new casinos and they want to select the locations themselves; Quinn wants the IGB to select the locations. Lawmakers want slots at racetracks and O'Hare Airport; Quinn doesn't.
The General Assembly passed the casino expansion bill last May but has used parliamentary rules to keep it from going to Quinn for signature or veto for nearly six months. In October, Quinn announced that he would demand various changes in the gambling expansion bill -- and revisions to the original Video Gaming Act -- as the price of his support.
Elsewhere in Illinois, Cook County board of supervisors' president Toni Preckwinkle has unveiled a 2012 budget that would force local operators to pay an additional $1.3 million in fees and taxes next year, assuming the plan is passed by the board, according to a story in the Chicago Tribune. | SEE STORY
The budget calls for $225 annual licenses for VLTs and prize vending machines, plus $150 licenses for jukeboxes, pool tables, amusement videogames and other coin-op devices.
A total of 10,000 machines countywide could be subject to the new fees. Cook County, the state's most populous, is home to the city of Chicago.

Head Coach Erik Nedeau
Entering his ninth season, head coach Erik Nedeau has molded the men's and women's track and cross country programs into perennial regional and national contenders, while consistently coaching Amherst runners to personal records and higher levels of achievement. Since taking the reins in 1995, Nedeau has coached a trio of NCAA Champions, 40 All-America performances, two Junior National medallists, and numerous New England, NESCAC and ECAC Champions. In fact, every runner to come through the program has left Amherst with a new personal best time in his or her respective event. Nedeau utilizes a unique blend of knowledge and experience to push his programs to new heights. In addition to coaching, "Ned" has established himself as one of the top middle distance runners in the nation, earning a bronze medal in the World Championships in 1995 and competing at the Olympic Trials. He was also a five-time All-American at Division I Northeastern University and was recently inducted into Northeastern's Athletic Hall of Fame. Nedeau and his wife, the former Amy Lyman, were married in the summer of 2003.
Assistant Coach John Adamson
Entering his seventh season as an assistant indoor and outdoor track coach at Amherst, John Adamson has mentored 31 different All-New England sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers, including 13 NCAA qualifiers (individually or as part of a relay), three All-Americans and an NCAA indoor and outdoor champion (triple-jumper Nicole Campbell '00), while his relay teams have become a regional power and a trademark of the program's recent resurgence.

Julia Stegner by Greg Kadel for Vogue Germany February 2012
Love, love, love, love, love everything about this. Our beautiful Julia is back at it, and so it Vogue Germany, which is really pleasing.
Some of you may already know, but for those who don't - Germany has a very special place in my heart.
I was a part of a student exchange program twice, in Leipzig and in Dresden, and I flew there with a totally open mind and with a lot of excitement. The German people were so incredible, so warm and open. I will never forget the beauty of Leipzig, the long bike rides around these incredible lakes and green forests, and streets of Berlin, how the bitter cold air couldn't even ruin the excitement and energy the cities had. I long to be back there, I know I will make it back someday...
Anyways, my point is that the German Vogue is one of the more lacking magazines in my opinion, and in my mind where Germans seem to be so good at everything, I find this so disappointing. I pray that each issue be better, and I finally am believing that my prayers have been answered. This Feb.12 cover with Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe is stunning.
I love the beauty of this editorial, I love the pureness, I love the black and white.
Ah. And now I miss Germany even more. xx

This is an article discussion thread for discussing the SitePoint article, "Storing Hierarchical Data in a Database"
how can i find the level?
Thanks for writing a great article and nice explaining the complex topic.
The Modified Preorder traversal method works if there is a one to one parent child relationship. If a node could be a child to other parents then this does not work, because then depending on which parent the child belongs to, the left and right values will vary. Please let me know if that's not the case. Thanks Rajesh email@example.com
Great explanation of a potentially complex topic. Great job!
Great work. Saved me a lot of stress.
how effective is it if i delete or add a new node and there are 1000 of records, wont he reupdate of the left and right numbers be slow??
Excellent Explaination! However the update query should be: UPDATE tree SET rgt=rgt+2 WHERE rgt>=5; UPDATE tree SET lft=lft+2 WHERE lft>5;
When I first read this article, I didn't understand how the 5 in the previous query was determined. Was it calculated from the right value of the parent node (minus one)?
Great article! But how would you find the direct children of a node (by means of only the left and right key)? E.g the direct children of fruit are red and yellow...Thnx!
Great article, and that numbering system is a great solution, but i DO use your first (simple) system. The difference is that I cache the html which is created. So all those querys have to run only when editting/adding/deleting items from the data
The article is well written. Thanks Gijs.
The only thing I miss is, that it speaks only about inserting a leaf node (i.e. a node without children). What if I want to insert a new node "color" as a child of "Fruit" and I want "Red" and "Yellow" be children of "Color"?
My proposal:UPDATE tree SET lft=lft+1 WHERE lft BETWEEN 3 AND 10UPDATE tree SET rgt=rgt+1 WHERE rgt BETWEEN 3 AND 10and the rest as proposed in the article:UPDATE tree SET rgt=rgt+2 WHERE rgt>10UPDATE tree SET lft=lft+2 WHERE lft>10
3 is the lft-value of the first direct child of the new node ("Red"), 10 is the rgt-value of the last direct child of the new node ("Yellow").
To LoreZyra:
I don't see why the update should be >=5 instead of >5. I think the statement in the article is correct.
If you use the rgt-value of the parent-node minus 1, it works only if you insert a new leaf to the right of all other leafs (as in the article). But not, if you want to add "Blue" between "Red" and "Yellow".
If 5 is the lft-value of the new node you insert minus 1, then it works allways (no mather where you insert the new leaf).
Hi, Í'm using the first version at this moment as I have a many-to-many relation in my DB. So my question might be a bit stupid, but can anyone explain to me how I can have the first level horizontal, and the second layer under that one (also horizontal), etc etc?Also how to make a visual indicator (link color change) which item is active?
Do you mean horizontal in the sense of presentation? If so, the DB query probably wouldn't change, it would be done with HTML/CSS.
Yes, presentation wise. Problem is, the main "browser" I'm creating this for does not (yet) understand CSS, and at most basic html tags, although no table tags yet.I "need" something like:
parent1 | parent2 | parent3 child 1 | child 2 | child 3 | child 4 subchild 1 | subchild 2
I've been playing around with creative < b r / > placements, but no luck yet. Only option I see is to make a duplicate function which is triggered by a var passed onto it to activate sublevel. Of course this should be able to be done without creating extra functions I'd say. Any suggestions?
Hi --Does anybody know the proper mean to "MOVE" a node using the modified preorder tree traversal? I would like to move an node and all of its children to a new parent node.Thanks
You might find this thread interesting then
Hi, how do you select just the first child level with this method? I now solved it in PHP. But i'd rather not select them at all ( performance wise )
Friend of mine asked similar question, here's what I came up with:
' (',
')' ) AS v
FROM t AS t1,
t AS 2,
t AS t3
WHERE t1.l BETWEEN t2.l AND t2.r
AND t2.l BETWEEN t3.l AND t3.r
AND t3.l=2 /* <=== node to start with */
GROUP BY t1.l
HAVING count(*) = 2 /* <=== show only direct descendats */
with just three joins one can get any slice of the entire tree (or particular branch). Count(*) equals to node level relative to the level of 't3.l'.
Wow. This is great. Just what I was looking for. I also like the thread Big Fat Bob posted - thanks!
One question...
Any way I can sort the results alphabetically? It looks like, from the functions in this article and others I have seen, you have to ORDER BY the lft ID. Does the data have to be inserted/updated into the database and placed in the appropriate spot alphabetically for this to work? This will be cumbersome with the amount of inserts/updates.
What I am building is a large document management system that basically will display a "Windows Explorer" type of folder tree. But the tree needs to be alphabatized as well as follow the lft ID so the data stays as a "tree".
Thanks for any tips!
Take a look at the post from Widow Maker at the link Big Fat Bob posted (http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186601).
Toward the middle of the post is a great Tree class and includes a function for what you are trying to do.

29-28 to machida all day long. funny thing is everyone keeps saying machida is boring and point scoring etc, but hendos corner pretty much told him it was a round each after the second, and when he got the TD in the third he pretty much refused to engage afterwards thinking he had won the fight.
I had 29-28 Machida.

I am a bit biased against Hendo though. I've never rated him like most people do, and I HATE the whole TRT legal cheating thing.
I had it a draw, gave the 2nd round a 10-10 as neither fighter did enough to earn that round, thing is that annoys me about people sayign ooh its machida's style, well what if machida fought another fighter like machida - 2 dudes circling around for 15 minutes without a single punch? Sorry but both fighters should engage at some point, what if Hendo decided to pull a Machida as well? Neither fighter came out of that fight looking great, surprised Dana has said Machida gets the next shot with Gusto fighting soon as well....
Machida can be an entertaining fighter but he really has to come out of his safety first shell at least once in a fight which he only did after Hendo got the takedown, I would love to see someone fight him and prance around like he did in that fight just to see what happened..
Jones will destory Machida again though, kinda get the feeling Machida wants nothing to do with a rematch these days, harping on about maybe having a fight before Jones, dropping down in weight and so on.

I'd like to see Hendo fight Jones... I don't know if its because I want the story tale ending or whether I really believe that if Hendo catches him he will KHTFO... I think his wrestling is better but meh.
I was hoping for a Hendo v Jones fight as well, but seeing Hendo's performance makes me wonder if the knee injury and age have done for him finally, he will need a win against a contender or two wins even before getting back in the frame and he turns 43 in a few months I think, going to be a year before he even works his way to Jones at best and Jones is talking about moving up in weight so I think Hendo v Jones is now dead. Deader than my soul was watching Hendo v Machida, was so looking forward to that fight... I would rather had watched 20 more rounds of Rousey than 2 mins more of Hendo v Machida...
With all the cuts etc I wonder if they will cut Hendo noting his age, injuries, the 151 cock up and salary compared to the fact its unlikely he will ever make another run at the title, which makes him a bit redundant really... UFC might let him go Bellator for once last hurrah, I wouldn't be shocked....you heard it here first!
