Habs Free Agent period over?
Currently the Habs have 10.845 million dollars in Cap space available to them at this time. After Ryder's arbitration, we're looking at him getting roughly 3-4.5 million, depending on what he wants and what Gainey is willing to give him. A worst case scenario is the Habs having 6.345 million in cap space to cover anymore possible holes. Also, Josh Gorges is an RFA and i know how most of the Habs fans on this site feel about him but he will contribute more to the Habs then he did in his brief stay last season. Remember, he was a top shot blocker in San Jose at the time of his trade having something like 64 shots blocked. That'll leave the Habs with roughly 5.345 million to spend. Now the question here is, do the Habs want to shore up anymore possible holes now, or wait out the season and if a play off spot looks to be within their grasp, use the 5.345 in space to shore up a long play off drive?
Are the Leafs really that much better?
I will start by saying i am not a Leafs fan or even close to ever being one and i know i will likely get bashed for this article but so be it.
An Offseason of Filling Holes?
The free agent signing period is essentially over, and for now the Canadiens offseason amounted to not much more than filling holes left by departing players. Some of the players who departed (David Aebischer, Janne Ninimaa & Sergei Samsonov) had provided little to the team last season, but some such as Sheldon Souray, Mike Johnson and Radek Bonk were key players on a team that struggled to make the playoffs. This is a look at what's been done and what might happen in the next couple of months.
This article is exclusive to HTR and TheHabsFan.com.
2006-2007 Salaries….were they worth it?
With all the "this coming season" predictions I thought I'd take a step back and look at the 2006-2007 season that just passed us and discuss three things about the top 34 highest paid players in the NHL (I say 34 because I'm not including Yashin, we all know he was likely the biggest and most obvious bust), I am also not holding it against players whom were injured, however feel free to use a point per game percentage in those cases, take a look into the following:
Trades, Signings, Retirements
Selanne, Forsberg, Niedermayer retirement questions.
Colorado, Islander, Leaf, habs, Nucks trade rumors.
Where Peca, Yashin, Markov, and Sutton might end up?
A Look At The New And Improved Flyers
After a terrible season last year, GM Paul Holmgren has put together an amazing roster. So lets take a look at some potential lines.But first I'm gunna change things up. I'm tired of people listing the forwards first, so we're going to take a look at the goalies first.
Cullimore Interested In Returning To Bolts
Damian Cristodero reports for the St.Petersburg Times that Jassen Cullimore would like to return to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jassen is a UFA and played for the Blackhawks last season.
Stanley Cup Favourites
I know it's very early, and most of us will look like fools come June 2008, but judging by the current lineups who do you think will be the major Cup contenders next season? Pick any three from each conference and give a short reason why.
Campoli On The Move?
As someone from another site reported, the name of defenseman Chris Campoli has been taken off the Isles website. There are rumors outhere that Toronto could be on the receiving end, in return of Pavel Kubina…
Could involve more players too…
Habs Standings???
Ok, this is purely one man's opinion, some may agree, most won't, but it's an opinion. Now, I've heard it all. Sens will net 120 points. Leafs will run away with the division and win the President's Trophy. The Rangers will break the Habs single season point record of 132 points. The Pens will be a dynasty for the next 5-10 years.
A New Sharks Logo?
According to hockeybuzz, the San Jose Sharks have leaked a new logo. Instead of the old plain shark bitting through the hockey stick, they have made it look more like a cartoon. It was described as looking more like a logo "from the AFL" (Arena Football League)." I for one like the new Sharks logo, it seems more aggresive, which could fit the new look Sharks.
To get some talking started, what do you think the sharks should go for in a logo? The old one, the new one, maybe a brand new idea? I know most Canadians whould rather they just send the team up North of the border.
The Atlantic Divison
I'm not going to make some crazy predictions that the team i love and cheer for is the best team in the league and that they will win no matter what, like some other fans. But i'm going to break down what each team did to improve, or what they didn't do to actually take a step back.

Make a fresh grapefruit margarita today. You'll love this margarita because it is light, refreshing, and has a beautiful pale blush color from the fresh grapefruit juice.
This Fresh Grapefruit Margarita marks the second recipe of my Summer Happy Hour drink series. Now that I've made my own margaritas from fresh juice, I don't think I can go back to a margarita mix.
You'll need:
- Grapefruits (err on the side of caution and get an extra 1 or 2, you might need/want more juice than you think!)
- Limes
- Tequila
- Triple Sec
- Simple Syrup (made by heating up a 1:1 ratio of water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool.) or Agave Nectar
- Kosher Salt (if you'd like salt rimmed glasses)
You may be thinking "can't I save my time and energy and buy bottled juice instead?" You're welcome to do so, but a margarita made with fresh juice is a step above the rest.
It's refreshing and crisp – the perfect summertime drink. I highly recommend you try it. If you don't want to or can't juice your own fruit, the recipe will work just fine with bottled juices.
To step up your bartending game, rim your glasses with salt (or sugar!) and a small slice of lime or grapefruit. Cut a few decorative slices from your grapefruits before juicing them.
Fresh Grapefruit Margarita
- 3 ounces grapefruit juice freshly squeezed, about 1/2 a grapefruit
- 1 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed, about 1 lime
- 1 1/2 ounces tequila
- 3/4 ounce triple sec
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup to taste
- Optional, if you'd like salt rimmed glasses. Pour a thin layer of kosher salt into a shallow bowl. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glasses and dip into salt to coat. Set aside.
- Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake until combined. Taste, and add more simple syrup as needed.
- Fill glasses with ice. Pour margarita over ice and serve immediately. Garnish with lime or grapefruit wedge as desired.

The new Forte banana plug section is designed to maximise contact area throughout the wide tolerance range encountered in 4mm amplifier and speaker sockets. Some can be quite tight whereas others may be loose, so the spring loaded Forte blade is designed to fit into smaller and larger sockets with equal insertion force. This means that the contact area is maximised and the connection remains uniformly tight.
Screwloc spade plugs are 'duo' to enable secure contact with both standard and wide spade terminals.
Both the banana plugs and spades are made of brass which has roughly twice the resistivity of copper. For this reason the plug was devised so that its cross-sectional area would be at least double that of the cable to which it was connected effectively cancelling out the extra resistance of the plug material. QED then plates the connector with high purity gold which has a resistivity almost as low as copper but more importantly does not oxidise in air.

Debunking Why Commodore PET and VIC-20 programmers had a head start programming the Commodore 64
A typical model, as listed in the lying buyers' guide "The A-Z of Personal Computers" was the Commodore 4016, released in 1980 with a 40 column 25 row screen, built in mono monitor, no graphics except character graphics, a cassette recorder, only beep as audio and 16K RAM, but the model 4032 came with 32K, although their RAM could be upgraded. Of course, some of this information could be misleading or lies, as in their C64 review.
This lack of certainty on the author's part also indicates yet another lack of proper research.
My opponent TMR of the rival blog https://c64crapdebunk.wordpress.com has had the cheek to claim in his post on https://c64crapdebunk.wordpress.com/2015/12/18/code-notes-taurus-2/ accompanying a demo by famous C64 games programmer Jeff Minter (who programmed games featuring Mutant Camels as well as light synthesisers) that Commodore PET/20XX/30XX/40XX programmers and VIC-20 owners such as Jeff Minter and himself weren't somehow well prepared for programming the C64 by programming the PET/20XX/30XX/40XX or VIC-20 before.
This is because they weren't, certainly not for the things the author has described as "impossible" on several previous occasions. For example, the video that the author included is of the Jeff Minter game Sheep In Space, which uses the C64's hardware sprites, smooth scrolling and raster interrupts; neither the PET series or VIC 20 have these features, so there's no magical way to get a head start by learning on those platforms. The Atari 8-bit could perhaps have taught would-be C64 coders more than the PET or VIC in that context, the features that they share aren't available from BASIC on the Atari either though, and there was the aforementioned delay before documentation was released!
Jeff Minter started using a Commodore PET/20XX/30XX/40XX as long ago as the late seventies, when hardly anyone had a computer, so this means he probably had quite an easy time of it, under no pressure to write any programs quickly to compete with anyone, because there was basically no competition.
Learning before everybody else doesn't make things easier dear reader, having to work everything out for yourself and use primitive tools makes it significantly more difficult instead! The author also talks about "pressure" but amateur programmers have never had that to worry about regardless of when they started so this is a completely false "argument" on his part.
I think that Jeff Minter is a bit of a mystery, allegedly born in April 1962, but obsessed with "Psychedelic" concepts which were fashionable when he was supposed to be only about 5 years old and the Wikipedia article on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Minter claim he was still at some kind of "school" when he was 18-19, but this isn't likely in Britain where he might have been at a college or university not a "school".
The author seems to be desperately trying to build sad little conspiracy theories based on nothing at all; your correspondent was still at the secondary school he'd attended previously when 18 and doing A levels for example, and there's absolutely nothing at all to stop people being fascinated with concepts, styles or music which were fashionable before they were born either since culture doesn't have a "sell by" date on.
This article also contradicts itself by saying he wrote a game for the Commodore PET in 1979, but only "took up computer programming in earnest" in December 1981-January 1982, and also says that in 1981 he had been studying at The University of East Anglia, then gave up.
When someone is said to have taken a pastime up "in earnest" that means they were already doing it but are now putting more time and effort it, so there is no contradiction in those statements. It is, however, amusing to watch the author simultaneously question the accuracy of information whilst expecting people to take the bilge he writes at face value, especially when he's contradicted himself in the same post!
TMR even said that the featured Jeff Minter demo "Taurus 2" worked by "adding values together from a sine curve", as if people who aren't good at maths would understand how this was done!
Your correspondent learnt about sine curves in GCSE mathematics at school and it only took a little trial and error to work out how to apply that knowledge but, whilst the author is almost painfully desperate to make out that this is genius level mathematics when it really isn't, it would only require a miniscule amount of imagination to create similar data with at most addition and subtraction… in fact it's possible to simply draw the required shape on graph paper and get a series of co-ordinates from that which will work without any calculations whatsoever.
BASIC V2 for the VIC-20 and C64 was based on PET BASIC 4.0, but had the disk drive commands deleted, because the evil Jack Tramiel and his cohorts thought that home users wouldn't need them! They even required disk users to specify the device number 8 because they thought most users would only have cassette drives.
This is just the author trying to mislead his readers yet again; the version of Commodore BASIC V2 is a revision of the same BASIC V2 used on earlier models of PET and not a version of BASIC 4 modified to remove features – as established previously, the author has no real programming experience and struggles with logic at the best of times so probably doesn't understand that it's both quicker and far more sensible to tweak the PET version of BASIC V2 to add a finite number of extra features rather than spending lots of man hours potentially introducing bugs to BASIC 4 by first removing commands and then having to add those extra features anyway.
As for the device number, LOAD is a universal command for multiple devices so a means to identify which device to access is, obviously, a requirement in the same way it would be for other platforms; the disk drive being device 8 actually comes from the PET and wasn't added to BASIC V2 for the VIC 20.
The Commodore 64 operating system is the Commodore Kernal, built in on ROM. This is a collection of about 39 routines accessed by a jump table of addresses which, as explained on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KERNAL are almost all the same on the Commodore PET/20XX/30XX/40XX range of computers and the VIC-20. […] None of these routines would have enabled Jeff Minter or TMR to program graphics and sound demos, but they would have helped them doing some Machine Code programming and encouraged them to learn more.
And if those ROM routines are an encouragement on one platform then they'll be an encouragement on all of them including the C64 itself so, demonstrably, there is no advantage gained from this learning process happening on the PET or VIC rather than the C64; all three machines use a similar BASIC interpreter and assembly language so the same amount of dedication is required regardless of which route is taken, meaning that what we shall laughingly call the "argument" at the centre of the author's post is, essentially, debunked by the author himself.

SUV packed with undocumented immigrants chased by Border Patrol wrecks in S. Texas - 5 dead
At least five people were killed when an SUV fleeing U.S. Border Patrol agents crashed near Big Wells, about 100 miles southwest of San Antonio, according to Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd.
Boyd said the SUV was packed with 14 people and that 12 of those were ejected when the driver lost control and the vehicle flipped about noon on Texas 85.
"From what we can tell the vehicle ran off the road and caught gravel and then tried to recorrect," Boyd said, adding that "caused the vehicle to turn over several times."
Boyd said the chase, which also involved a DCSO deputy, reached speeds of more than 100 mph.
Of the 14 people involved in the wreck, 12 were undocumented immigrants, including all five who died, Boyd said.
"We've seen this many times," Boyd said. "It's a problem. A perfect example of why we need secure borders."
Four people died at the scene and another died after being transported to a San Antonio-area hospital, according to Boyd. Several others were also taken to Brooke Army Medical Center and University Hospital in unknown conditions.
The driver, believed to a U.S. citizen, was arrested but no information on charges have been released. Another person, also believed to a U.S. citizen, was in the SUV when it wrecked. The status of that passenger is unknown at this time.
Boyd did not say what initiated, or how long the agents were chasing the SUV before it wrecked.
Attempts to contact Border Patrol officials were unsuccessful Sunday afternoon.
This story will be updated as information becomes available.
Staff writer Chris Quinn contributed to this report.

What is there to know about "The Unnamed" at this point besides that is a comic?
First off, it takes place in northern France in the year 1880. Don't worry if your French is limited to just "Oo-la-la", it is written in English with just a dash of French vocabulary. At the moment, it is a 392 page monster but it has been broken up in 10 volumes. If it turns out to be successful more volumes will be created but that's for later, much later.
Second thing to know, it's not suitable for children. That is, of course, unless you absolutely hate yours and want to traumatise the little abortion failures but let's just say that under normal circumstances, it is rated suitable for 14 and older.
Finally and this comes from the creator's office, more specifically straight from the bin next to his desk: ""The Unnamed" could become an unique series that combines a psychological detective story with historical and low fantasy elements while trying to find parallels to both the past and the modern world. It is original and has many layers, some obvious, some not so obvious. This character driven story tries to be something of its own kind and not another paranormal action packed superhero ripoff." This is of course writer-speak for "Even I don't know what it is but it could go on for a long time".

"But I bought at a significant discount which greatly limits my downside."Now Catherine, you are sounding like somebody that bought Sun Microsystems at 15 because it was 75% off its high. It is now $4.17, and if you had bought that on margin, you would have had big problems.You bought at a significant discount to what? There is no inherent value - just what people are willing to pay. There are, to be sure, ways to figure out just what they might be willing to pay, but that just gives an educated guess at best.Of course, it sounds like a great deal, and it worked out. You have been able to service the payments from the rent, and the estimated price of the property has gone up. What could be better?Nevertheless, do not ever say to yourself "there is no way I can lost money on this deal." Nothing is certain.

Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by! To get the newest recipes subscribe or join us on facebook. I have a fabulous guest post for you today. Let's give Lindsey a warm welcome! This peach dessert looks absolutely delicious!
Anyone who knows me also knows that I am all about peaches. I start stalking the fruit stands in the middle of July waiting for the first peaches of the season. This year I got lucky. Peach season started a few weeks earlier than last year. And it hasn't stopped. I'm a very happy girl. I never tire of coming up with ways to eat peaches–desserts, sauces, main dishes, sides and salads. I can't get enough of them.
This peach dessert is an elegant, yet simple dessert highlights peaches when they are at their sweetest and juiciest. The caramelized sugar breaks under your spoon giving way to the juicy flesh, spilling out into the puddle of creamy custard sauce below. It's magical in a way that only fresh fruit at its peak can be.
Creme Anglaise is nothing more than a custard sauce made from egg yolks, sugar and milk. You can flavor it in so many ways with different extracts or liqueurs. I've gone with almond extract here because almond is perfect with peaches.
Serve this for a quick dessert when you have friends over and you'll blow them away. They'll never know if only took a few minutes to prepare.
Delicious Brûléed Peach Dessert
- 6 egg yolks (large)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups milk (very hot)
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4-1/2 tsp pure almond extract
- 4 peaches (peeled & halved)
- 8 tsp raw sugar
- Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and pinch of salt until thick and pale yellow. Drizzle the hot milk into the bowl while whisking. This will temper the eggs, or slowly heat them so they don't scramble. When all of the milk has been added, pour the mixture back into the pan and cook over medium high heat until it starts to thicken and reaches a temperature of 170 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. (If you don't have a thermometer, check that it's cooked all the way by dipping a wooden spoon into the sauce. It should coat the back and you should be able to draw a finger through it.) Pour through a fine mesh sieve to remove any bits of egg that may have cooked. Add the vanilla and almond. Cover and chill until very cold.
- Place the peeled peach halves on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each half evenly with 1 tsp. of raw sugar. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar. Alternatively, you can caramelize the sugar all at once under a broiler. Be careful, the sugar will melt quickly!
- To Serve: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the sauce into small serving bowls. (You will have some extra creme anglaise, but I'm sure you'll find a use for it. :) Add a peach half to each bowl and serve immediately.

Forklifts are tremendous tools in a warehouse, industrial, and construction environment. Their ability to lift heavy loads has transformed a variety of industries. At Rouda Feder Tietjen & McGuinn, our San Francisco personal injury lawyers are dedicated to helping individuals who have been innocently injured in a forklift accident seek the compensation they need to recover financially. Medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitative care, and pain and suffering can pile up, causing the already traumatic experience to become amplified.
The same elements that make forklifts useful also make them incredibly dangerous. In order to lift heavy loads, they are counter-balanced, making them very heavy. This weight can easily crush a foot or leg, traumatically amputating it. Forklifts are used in close proximity to pedestrians, but their turning radius makes them behave much differently than cars. An inattentive operator can do a tremendous amount of damage with the flick of a wrist. The ability to raise heavy objects also creates the potential for heavy goods to fall on people.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a forklift,
call (415) 940-7176 to discuss your case in a free consultation.
Forklift accidents can occur in various settings, including in warehouses and on construction sites. As experienced personal injury lawyers, we have seen a wide range of accidents and have handled cases involving clients from many different industries.

**** Spring 2019 ****
Dear Fellow Homeowners:
Hope that you've enjoyed a healthy, joyous, and safe holiday season! Now is the time to get down to business and address past and present resolutions. In that vein, we want to provide you with information...regarding the activities of the current, acting Board of Directors for CHHO. The most time consuming activity has centered around the Security Camera System that we last addressed with you in the Spring of 2016 newsletter. Shortly thereafter, as we all experienced, our community was catastrophically impacted by a major flood.
On Aug 13, 2016, residents of Comite Hills and many homeowners in Central were totally disrupted by the Great Flood of 2016 with many in our subdivision catastrophically impacted. Residents have been recovering since that flood with priorities focused on family and City recovery. This Board did not feel it appropriate to hold a dues drive while so many were directly and indirectly affected by those events. We can now return to more normal activities.
At our last meeting in April 2016, a proposed security camera being considered was discussed. This meeting was poorly attended by residents.
Since community recovery, the Board began actively pursuing new estimates, info, etc. regarding a Security Camera System. This has been a slow and arduous process. A process that has taken longer than we wanted it to take!! Much time has been required to get a location secured on a homeowner's property -- so camera will catch activity from the Triple B/ Sullivan Rd. entrance. Time delays were experienced with Entergy - City of Central and IBTS. Continuous meetings were held with all involved. This was not a simple undertaking; there was much to be considered. We now have a complete system to propose.
Being ready to setup the site, purchase equipment, etc., we find ourselves SHORT of the necessary dollars to pay for this; the system decided upon is going to cost $7500.00. Remember, no dues have been collected for 3 years. (Current balance is $4,956.00 in CHHO checking account). The money in CHHO's treasury has had some obligations all of this time: water meters for circles, checking account fees, care and mowing of some circles.
It is bare necessities folks. If we want more, and this writer believes many would like to see more in CHHO, contributing to a safe, welcoming community with wholesome social activities (such as egg hunts, progressive dinners, neighborhood garage sale, Santa's ride, etc.) then NOW is the time to search your hearts and ante up. Dues will remain at $100.00 dollars per household. Donations of additional dollars are always welcomed, small fees may sometimes be necessary to participate in functions from time to time. More importantly, we need the help of individuals to serve CHHO, as volunteers for office and the board of directors; committee members; handling functions such as: keeping website current, etc., and organizing activities. These things do not happen without the efforts and service by dedicated individuals.
We are organizing a membership meeting for Comite Hills Homeowners Organization at the Central Branch of the EBRP Library, located on Joor Rd. on Wednesday MARCH 27, 2019. The meeting will be held at 6:30 to 7:30 P.M. We will take time to cover what is proposed for in the Security Camera system; collect dues (cash or check); take names for volunteers wishing to serve as Officers in CHHO, Filing Captains, and committee members.
We hope to see someone there from every household. We will send a reminder to all email addresses prior to the meeting. Please go to www.comitehills.com to register your email address.
The Board of CHHO thanks you for your patience and looks forward to working together to secure and improve our community.

Re-zoning Hearing
Mar 8, 2019. There will be a rezoning hearing on March 28 @ 6:00PM at Kristenwood, regarding the property located at the beginning of Triple B road behind the shopping center. Link to the Planning and Zoning agenda (pdf).
The 2 lots proposed to be rezoned to R-1 and subdivided into 4 lots total are marked with a red border in the image below.

Road repair
April 24, 2018. Lariat street/roundabout approved for overlay by Central City council. link
Pet Owners
Aug. 23, 2017 A reminder that Central City has a leash law regarding dogs and cats. It has been brought to the attention of CHHO that there have been incidents of dogs attacking other pets and frightening neighbors who choose to walk in our neighborhood.
Animal Control has the authority to "impound all dogs or cats which are found running at large in the streets or roads or public or private property in the city" per Central City Municipal Code Sec. 3:24. Check this link for more info.
Pet owners should also respect their neighbors by utilizing "dog waste bags" when walking their pets.
Jun. 13, 2017. City of Central Office has been contacted regarding the two blighted lots on Triple B behind Chase bank.
FGBRCA Meeting (April 2015)
April Meeting of Federation of Greater Baton Rouge Civic Associations featured a study performed by Lake Sherwood Acres subdivision on forming a gated community.
Key points were:
*** Cost to maintain streets, drainage, and sewer were prohibitive.
*** Cost to maintain gates for emergency access, deliveries, utility access were high.
*** Would need approval by metro council and DPW. Doubtful that it would be approved.
*** Always open to legal contests.
*** Required high approval by residents.
*** Streets would be owned by individual residents and would require maintenance.
*** A partial gate solution has been undertaken by a subdivision in Ascension parish but many of the same burdens as full gate are there.
Another segment covered current legislature in session. Residents would do well by frequently visiting the state legislature site and search proposed bills with certain keywords e.g. crime, subdivision, traffic, etc
FGBRCA Meeting (Sept. 2014)
September Meeting of Federation of Greater Baton Rouge Civic Associations featured guest speaker Atty. Wade Baumgartner. Mr. Baumgartner spoke about CA restrictions and enforcement thereof.
Key points were:
*** Act of Restrictions have the highest precedence of authority, including the La. Homeowners Act.
*** A neighbor who has violated a restriction (e.g. erected a building which violates restrictions), does not set a precedence, meaning a neighbor next door can be held responsible for violating the same restriction, including responsibility for lawyer fees, and court costs.
*** Restrictions are easily enforceable in court of law.
*** Obtaining approval from city P&Z does not cover CA restrictions. They are separate & CA restrictions can have precedence. *** To avoid costly errors please check CHHO restrictions.

If people are going to criticize the language, orthography, syntax, spelling, and grammar of the Book of Mormon, which resulted in numerous changes after publication, then it should be something one does with knowledge, not simply because it appears outdated, uneducated, or archaic by today's standards.
As an example, the
language that existed in New England in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries has a long and complex history, dating as far back as the Christian
era in England, around 600 A.D., where the Roman letters and alphabet replaced
the Germanic "runes," which was previously used mostly for incantations,
curses, and some poems, when tribes were small and still on the continent and
through their migration to Britain and the period of Christianization.
The Roman alphabet,
however, was never perfectly adapted for writing English even when first used to
represent Anglo-Saxon. The first monks writing English using Roman letters soon
added new characters to handle the extra sounds, such as the Anglo-Saxon "æ,"
called ash, or the runic characters fricatives "þ," called thorn and "ð," called eth,
and "ȝ," called yogh, which in medieval times where replaced with the digraphs, or
single sounds (phoneme) represented by two letters: "th," "sh," and "gh."
Like any new
language, no norms for writing words consistently was adopted, and had not been
absolute in Anglo-Saxon before that. Obviously, it is not easy for writers to
remember a single orthographic representation, called a spelling, for a word
yet such is required for standardization. Unfortunately, then as now (in new
words), writers prefer to produce written forms they have seen before for
specific words, even if there is not a good match between written characters
and sounds.
In addition, getting a
pronunciation out of alphabetic writing requires people to analyze the sound
string down to the level of component sounds. Yet this type of phonemic
analysis is apparently not an obvious or natural one for people; it needs to be
taught intensively before it can be spoken somewhat automatically and that is one
reason why acquisition of literacy at an early age is stressed in cultures with
alphabetic writing. It takes a lot of practice to reliably decode messages from
alphabetic writing to the spoken word.
I remember the first
time I coached a Little League baseball team of several kids that had various
Latin names. One in particular gave me great difficulty—Ramirez. It took me
several weeks to get from RAM-i-rez. To Ra-MIR-ez.
In fact, some of
those who try to learn to read alphabetic writing never master it because they
can't separate the speech string into individual segments, which are clusters
of vocal gestures in consonants and vowels. This is what leads to accents among
people in the U.S. who speak English as a second language, which is especially
true among those who speak languages based on Latin spelling (pronunciation),
such as Spanish, Italian, Japanese, etc., where vowels always have the same sound,
since English is a conglomeration of several language pronunciations with
numerous sounds for each vowel. As an example, English has 44 different sounds:
19 vowel sounds, including 5 long vowels, 5 short vowels, 3 dipthongs, 2 "oo"
sounds, 4 "r" controlled vowel sounds and 25 consonant sounds, plus 19 blend
sounds, 7 digraph sounds, and odd balls (like "zh" as in vision).
When you compare that
to Latin vowels, "a" is always "ah," "e" is always "eh" (though occasionally
sounds like a hard "a"); "i" is always a hard "e"; "o" is always "oh," and "u"
is always "oo," with the dipthongs of "a" and "i" creating the sound "eye, "
"a" and "u" creating "ou" as in "house," "o" and "e" as "ay" in "say."
The Norman conquest
(1066 A.D.) and its aftermath changed the entire social and government
structure, bringing French into the language, and removing Wessex English and
replacing it with London English. As an example, the "c," which had always had
a "k" sound, now also had an "s" sound, as in "curb," and "city," and the "g"
took on a "j" sound as well as its normal hard "g" sound, as in goat and
As Oxford and
Cambridge grew in prominence away from London, the language of the 1300s took
on an even greater change, with their different dialects governing the Age of
Learning in England. This triangle of London-Oxford-Cambridge, with its
revolving scholarly and clerical workforce, became a large and important center
of developing orthographic norms. Then came the printing press in the 1400s
which drastically changed the speed at which manuscripts could be produced and
therefore disseminated, and the adoption of paper also helped to make written
documents cheaper and more widespread.
Left: Chancery Lane where (Right) Chancery
Court was held in the 16th century, and now used by the Institute of
Actuaries today
These factors
encouraged the growth of record-keeping and bureaucracy and the continued
growth in importance of the Court of Chancery and Chancery English. Property
records, tax-collecting and other financial records, laws, and records of crime
and punishment all burgeoned in the 1500s. The rise of schools, designed to
train not only religious workers but also secular clerical workers for
government, made it possible to train larger numbers of people in literacy and
thereby also further spread the developing norms for orthography. The growth of
London and its role in public institutions ensured its importance as the center
of a linguistic standard for the developing nation.
written norms based on London English developed and were used even where local
pronunciations were hardly affected by the sounds of spoken London English.
Documents moved around in far greater volume and speed, even more than people
and thus could influence the norms of the region more easily than the spoken
dialect features of travelers. The growth of a professionalized class of printers
outside of the direct control of church and government led to the role of
printers in setting norms of writing and spelling, who had a strong interest in
standardization to reduce variation and hence make the printing process easier.
The printing profession evolved
into the profession of publishing, and publishers have been important ever
since in the setting of written standards.
During the 1500s, a major
upheaval in the pronunciation of English vowels, the Great English Vowel shift,
spread through the speech community and tore the conservative written forms of
the long vowels away from their changing pronunciations, leaving English with a
set of letter-to-written vowel correspondences different from everywhere else
in Europe, as well as internal variation that bedevils readers in pairs like divine,
divinity. In addition, many inflectional endings were reduced and
finally eliminated, notably many final unstressed e's. These "silent
e's" were continued in the spelling system but repurposed as a tool to
signal the value of the long vowels changed in the Great Vowel Shift (i.e., the silent "e" ending made the earlier vowel "long" or "hard" as in mate,
name, while etc.)
Other sounds were reduced then
eliminated, such as the k's and g's in the old clusters kn and gn (as in knight
and gnat) and some of the remnants of Old English yogh, the old velar
fricative (as in neighbor and bough). The result is the numerous
set of "silent letters" that those trying to learn English today find
so maddening.
By 1600, under the impetus of
printing the tremendous variety of spellings in written English had shaken down
into a far smaller set of variants, and a great part of the outlines of the
modern orthography was in place. Changes in orthographic norms slowed
considerably, and Modern English was left with a spelling system from an
earlier period of its history: essentially it is a normalized Middle English
system. The result is a set of letter-to-sound mismatches greater than those of
elsewhere in Europe, even in some respects greater than those of French, whose
spelling was codified a little later.
The introduction of the
Reformation and Renaissance as part of a new, Protestant England, created the need
for new doctrine and its administration, new documents, and liturgies for the
recently-established Church of England, the Book of Common Prayer, and above
all, English translations and copies of the Bible.
As the American colonies grew and
separated from England, a push was made to identify distinguishing cultural
factors and language that would separate Americans from Britons, since a
recognizable set of American pronunciation features had already developed. However,
instead of using pronunciation differences to try to develop a separate written
standard, Noah Webster wrote a dictionary in 1828 that containing some regional,
American-dialect based definitions to set it apart, and also introduced into
his dictionary and other writings a set of spellings that put a distinctive
stamp on American orthography without changing it too much for mutual
other words, most of the spelling conventions that had solidified in the
British standard written form by the early 19th century were maintained by
Webster in his 1828 American Dictionary
of the English Language, but he added a few systematic differences: Using -ize
instead of -ise for verbs derived from Greek verbs in -izein;
eliminating u in the suffix -our (thus moving it away from the
French-derived spelling of Middle English to a spelling somewhat more in line
with pronunciation on both sides of the Atlantic), the replacement of -re
in French loans by -er (centre/center, theatre/theater) and a few
other simplifications.
Movements advocating more drastic
spelling reform of English emerged in the 18th century, and there are periodic
resurgences of this trend, which represents an attempt to introduce efficiency
and save time for new learners. Benjamin Franklin devised an alphabetic system
largely keeping English orthography the same but introducing single symbols for
the current digraphs, and additional symbols for vowel distinctions not
systematically represented in the writing system. George
Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was a passionate advocate of total spelling reform and
left his entire estate to be devoted to this project in 1950.
point of all of this is for us to recognize that the period of time that Joseph
Smith lived, and translated the Book of Mormon, was during one of the greatest
movements of change known in the English language, even more so than the changes
resulting from the Conquest (1066) and the Great Vowel Shift (1350-1700).
During this time in the early 1800s, the language, spelling, grammar, etc.,, were
all changing rapidly, with few people having the same understanding of any
regularity to rules and guidelines.
when we look at the original writing of the Book of Mormon, and compare it to
today, we see an enormous amount of "errors" in the grammar, spelling, word
meanings, etc., many of which have already been changed to especially bring the
grammar and spelling into a modern reading syntax and orthography.
in the next post is the subject of Royal Skousen's Critical Text Project,
which, after these last three posts about language of Joseph Smith's time, will
make more sense and, we hope, our responses more meaningful)

Jordan's Mount Nebo: A sacred mountain and attractive tourism site
Mount Nebo - It is rare to find a single place that has significant meaning to Islam, Christianity and Judaism alike and can be easily accessed by visitors seeking to retrace Moses's journey to the Holy Land.
Such a place is Jordan's Mount Nebo, north-west of Amman in the governorate of Madaba. It still attracts tourists despite regional unrest and terrorism threats.
Like in many countries in the Middle East and North Africa, tourism in Jordan has been adversely affected by uprisings and wars in the region, driving away scores of tourists and pilgrims, observed Jordan Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Nayef Fayez.
"Islamic State militants have damaged tourism in the region more than the so-called 'Arab spring' uprisings," Fayez said in an interview with The Arab Weekly.
To alleviate pressure on the tourism sector, the government recently adopted several measures to promote tourism, including waiving visa fees for tourists of all nationalities using Jordanian tour operators and staying more than two nights. It also reduced electricity tariffs on hotels to encourage competitive prices.
In Madaba, there was a 40% drop of visitors during the first three months of 2015, compared to the same period last year, according to Wael Jaanini, the governorate's tourism director.
"The kingdom, including Madaba and its surrounding attractions, has been badly hit by the regional political conditions and their repercussions on tourism are painful. People are staying away, mostly for security reasons," Jaanini told The Arab Weekly.
Nonetheless, Mount Nebo remains a favoured destination for religious tourism.
Rising high above the Jordan Valley, Mount Nebo, according to ancient belief, is the mountain from which Moses saw the "Promised Land", a reference to biblical Judea and Samaria, including Jerusalem.
"And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho." (Deuteronomy 34:1).
Known locally as Siyagha — "monastery" — Mount Nebo is the highest point in this part of the ancient kingdom of Moab.
In 1932, the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land purchased the site and established a monastery, which continues to be active and houses the headquarters of the Franciscan Archaeological Institute, a "must stop" for religious pilgrims and tourists.
Mount Nebo serves as a unique natural balcony for a spectacular panoramic view that extends across the Dead Sea reaching the Judean desert and the arid landscapes of the Jordan Valley. On clear days, when visibility is nearly perfect, Bethlehem can be seen, along with Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives all the way to Ramallah in the West Bank of the Jordan River.
On March 19, 2000, Pope John Paul II visited the site during his pilgrimage to the Holy Land and took in the same panoramic scene that Moses saw more than 3,000 years ago. Pope Benedict XVI also travelled to Mount Nebo in 2009.
"It is a magnificent feeling being here in the footsteps of Moses, seeing what he saw and I must say it's a breathtaking view," said Jose Sleeba, director of Royal Omania Travel, an India-based travel agency.
"Unfortunately, we will not spend too much time in Jordan as we can go to the Baptism Site on the Israeli side for free, whereas here it's $10- $15 per head extra", Sleeba told The Arab Weekly.
"We would love to go to Petra and Wadi Rum but find it too costly. Jordan has to realise that people want to feel fairly treated and having much higher entry fees for non locals is keeping people away," he added. In Mount Nebo, the main focal point is the Serpentine Cross sculpture at the Brazen Serpent Monument atop the mountain. It is a modern replica created by Italian artist, Giovanni Fantoni of the biblical serpent. The sculpture is symbolic of the bronze serpent created by Moses in the wilderness and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. It has become the emblem of Mount Nebo.
At the site, elements of a triple-apse Byzantine basilica were uncovered by archaeologists in the 1930s and have been incorporated into the structure of the modern church known as the Memorial Church of Moses, with its magnificent mosaics, making it the centrepiece of the hilltop complex.
The Franciscans excavated most of the ruins of the church and monastery, as well as rebuilt much of the basilica. The church is part of the functioning monastery and is off-limits to visitors.
Just inside the site is the excavated Old Baptistery, which has one of the most interesting ancient mosaics in Jordan and which had remained hidden for nearly 1,400 years until it was uncovered in 1976.
In the far right-hand corner of the church is the New Baptistery from 597AD. It was previously a funerary chapel and includes a small mosaic bearing the greeting "Peace To All".
Next to the New Baptistery, a mosaic cross from the original fourth-century church stands on a modern altar in its original location, along with a photograph of Pope John Paul II praying at the altar.
Next to the exit door is the Theotokos Chapel from the seventh century, whose floor is paved with mosaics of plants and flowers.
Two kilometres from Mount Nebo on the Nebo-Madaba Road is La Storia Tourism Complex, which depicts major religious, historic and cultural highlights in the heritage of Jordan and accommodates a large variety of handicrafts.
The 2015 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index Ranking, issued by the World Economic Forum in early May, ranked Jordan 77th among 141 countries and eighth among countries of the region.
"I loved Jordan and I am sure to be back again to see more of it," French tourist Marie Claire enthusiastically told The Arab Weekly. "I hope that the tensions in the region will calm down so I can bring my husband and daughters next time."

Cuban layoffs begin
Some state workers in Cuba have begun feeling the impact of government plans to prune the country's public sector.
The first layoffs in the communist government's programme to cut the jobs of 500,000 state workers have started, according to the head of the Cuban Workers Federation.
Cuban state-run media quotes Salvador Valdes as saying that the initial job cuts are occurring in the sugar, agriculture, tourism, health and construction sectors.
The layoffs are expected to affect ten percent of the Cuban government's work force.
These job cuts are part of an economic overhaul the authorities in Havana say is aimed at slashing government expenditure.
Up to a million going
Last September, President Raul Castro announced plans to lay off around up to a million state employees, and encourage them to find work in the private sector.
Half of those posts are to go by the end of March, just weeks before a ruling communist party congress in April.
Restrictions on private enterprise are being eased, with small businesses allowed to employ staff, borrow money, and sell services to government departments.
They will also have to pay tax.
Thousands of Cubans have already been given licences to set up private businesses, and more are registering every week.
Since taking over from his brother Fidel in 2006, Raul Castro has taken steps to reduce the state's almost total control of the economy, which has been gripped by a severe crisis in recent years.
It has suffered from a fall in the price for its main export, nickel, as well as a decline in tourism.
Growth has also been hampered by the 48-year US trade embargo.
The government insists that the "socialist character" of Cuba's political system will not change.
But some observers say that Cuba could be entering a period of potential social upheaval.

The Journey Begins: My Son's Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis
I had both dreaded and anticipated this day for a few months. My son Ethan's psychological evaluation. We had suspected about half a year ago that he might fall within the autism spectrum. He had all the typical signs of a child with autism -- incessantly playing with anything that looks like a wheel, repetitive routine-focused play, delays in speech…

VIDEO: ABA therapy progress
Please enjoy the following videos showing some of the fun things that Ethan's been doing at ABA. He learned how to blow bubbles, added more nouns to his vocabulary, and learned how to play tag!

ABA Adventures at the Botanic Garden and Beach!
Since Ethan and his ABA therapist have had a lot of time to build rapport at home, we frequent Hickory, Wilson and South Park, which are all in the area, we've been to Torrance Beach a couple of times, and we recently visited the South Coast Botanic Garden.
First Day at LAUNCH Preschool! (and other LAUNCH updates)
As a true mama bear, I was both super excited and worried about Ethan's entry into Torrance Unified School District through LAUNCH preschool, which had a very good reputation as a hybrid program for both typically developing PALS and special needs kids.
Ethan's Graduation from PTN
PTN will always be the first place that Ethan developed a pre-school based routine and had a life away from mom and away from home. He learned to participate within a community, socialize with other kids, take turns, mimic actions and songs from circle time, sit nicely when asked to, among other things.
Ethan learns how to play a tune on his little piano!
Today, Ethan's ABA therapist guided him to play "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on his little piano. After a few repetitions, he played a very close approximation of the tune!

Back at School for the MSOT program at CSUDH!
I already had this feeling that I wanted to eventually become a professional in the field of serving special needs children. And ever since I started this blog and Ethan got diagnosed my interest in the field of pediatric therapy grew. I attended the info session to see if studying Occupational Therapy would indeed be for me.
Ethan Gets A Preview of Our Future Doberman Pup!
After a chill time at the Central Coast, which was of course, partly spent just enjoying wine at our favorite tasting room, Moonstone Cellars, we were finally off to the dog ranch, where we planned to go to meet some Dobie pups and parents. We went to West Coast Doberman, a reputable Doberman breeder located in Northern California.

Ethan's Summer Shenanigans
Ethan's made so much progress and did so much this summer! He waded at the beach shore for the first time, did his first eskimo kiss with Dad, met a lot of new friends, went to the splash pad for the first time and played chase for the first time! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
Ethan's Transition Meeting from PTN to LAUNCH Preschool
Our former Harbor Regional Center coordinator had told us that Ethan's transition meeting would just consist of introductions. That it was, a brief meeting where preliminary introductions were made and we were given an opportunity to advocate for Ethan's needs. I can say with confidence that the transition meeting last June 6th, Thursday, was a great success. The meeting consisted…

We are committed to Christian Day Schools. Members of BCRC founded Bradenton Christian School (BCS) in 1960 and we continue to support the school and families of our congregation who desire a Christian education for their children. For more information on BCS, please visit BCSPanthers.org. — We also support our denominational liberal arts college, Calvin College, and Calvin Seminary both located in Grand Rapids, Mich.
We are a family. We come together to celebrate God's love, to learn how to live in His presence, to teach His Word, to commit ourselves to one another and to God, and to grow into a reflection of the person and nature of Jesus Christ.
The vision of Bradenton Christian Reformed Church consists of three things: to increase our love for God's Word, to be faithful in prayer, and to stress the importance of fellowship with God and with one another.
We did not glean this vision from church growth experts or current mega-church methods. Rather, this vision of Word, prayer and fellowship comes from the explosive growth of the early Christian church. Actually, this vision of Word, prayer, and fellowship is found in connection with one of the fastest growing churches in history.
When the Holy Spirit was poured out on Pentecost the result was that three-thousand believers were added to the church in one day. Directly following, we read that "they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching [God's Word] and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42). In our commitment to Scripture, prayer and fellowship we believe that God will continue to transform our lives, his Church, and this community.

Mangaluru, Oct 19, 2016: J.R. Lobo, MLA, Mangaluru City South, instructed the district administration to organise an investors meet in the city next month. At a meeting in the office of the Deputy Commissioner, the MLA said that the meeting should ensure the participation of at least 25 big companies. Senior level officials of the government and Information Technology and Biotechnology Minister should be invited, he said.
MLA. Lobo said that Mangaluru has all the facilities required for the growth of IT industries. Normally investors meets lay stress on investing in Bengaluru and its surroundings. Instead of focusing only on Bengaluru, the investors should be prompted to invest in tier II cities as Bengaluru has reached the saturation level.
DK DC Dr. K.G. Jagadeesha suggested that a meeting in Bengaluru could be convened to apprise the investors of the facilities in Mangaluru. Detailed documentation and arrangements could be done for the purpose. MLAs and Ministers could attend the meeting, he said.

|Things change - looking to sell my toy car . . .
1960 Desoto Fireflite, 361 Torqueflite. P/S P/B Dual antennas, dual mirrors. Amateur restoration about 15 years ago - not original color, interior is a nice non-original vinyl redo.
Overall this is a very nice driver quality car which has been driven to and from many shows and events 2 - 3 hours away with no concerns. Vehicle has been PA State Inspected for the last three years.
If we can make a deal at a reasonable price I will include all of the additional stuff - manuals, spare parts, show accessories, a custom cartoon image of the vehicle (for shirts and such) AND a parts car. Note that while many of these items came form the previous owner, he did not include them in the sale of the vehicle, but instead sold them to me piecemeal over the 2 years after I purchased the car - my total investment is well above my asking price of $24,900.00
The parts car is a 1964 Dodge 880 4 door sedan. It has a serviceable used windshield, a 383 with an aluminum case pushbutton Torqueflite, and factory A/C. My intention was to use this car to update the driveline to components compatible with newer/standard Mopar components, and install the factory style A/C. Delivery of the parts car may be available depending on location/distance/negotiated deal.
I can be contacted at email@example.com or 215-272-4407. Please text as I often cannot take phone calls.
On edit - Apparently my pics are all too big. I can email or text pics to anyone interested.
Thanks, Gregg

It's been a busy weekend! Between work and concerts and rehearsals I have been making terrible food choices.
On Sunday, I had cake for breakfast. Cake!! It was delicious chocolatey cake with yummy frosting. But that's not the best way to start the day, nutritionally speaking. (Deliciously speaking? Cake wins.)
For lunch was a granola bar followed by a cake pop, a brownie and cookie and sherbet punch.Oh, and a teeny tiny chocolate cupcake that I licked the frosting off and threw away the cake part.
Saturday wasn't much better. A donut for breakfast. Oh the horror! Then Panda Express orange chicken and chow mein and wontons for lunch AND dinner. It was a big takeout box, you see.
Anyway. The point is, my eating habits have been crap.
And I've had some difficulty hopping out of bed in the morning. Instead, I'm groggy and want just 2 more hours of sleep. Just 2! Is that too much to ask, world?
So come Sunday night I was determined that dinner would be much, much better. And it was! Followed by some Fresh N Easy mint ice cream.

We had the greatest opportunity to gift some of our favorite people in the whole world with some of our cutest paper lanterns. Together with the amazing Sara Jensen we came up with a super fun press kit to have delivered to some very special designers and other "business ladies". Instead of just shipping these boxes of fun supplies we thought why not hand deliver them by the Rose and Henri, Sara's adorable children?
We teamed up with the super talented Bonnie Tsang in Los Angeles as Rose helped assemble and hand deliver these amazing boxes to some equally amazing women like Joy.
Clearly Joy was super bummed to meet Rose. Rose looked around Joy's studio and whispered "business ladies have a lot of sprinkles!".
Then Joy gave Rose some cookies, so now she's under the impression that business ladies have sprinkles, eat cookies and get to throw party supplies around the office. And Jen Gotch was equally amazing, as we visited the ultimate party town headquarters of ban.do.
So empowering for little Rose (and us!!) to see all of these women making their own way, doing it well and still having some fun.
A big thank you to Joy and Jen!

Ho'oponopono Certification
Sometimes we have emotions, and sometimes emotions have us. Emotions, especially negative ones, can be particularly difficult to control. Nevertheless, we can try to inhibi the expression of negative emotions, especially under certain circumstances. Imagine that your school team just lost an important championship, and you are really unhappy , distressed, and in an irritable mood, angry at the referees and disappointed by your team. However, you have an important exam tomorrow , so you must inhibit your distracting unpleasant emotions and concentrate on studying. You can think of similar examples of emotional inhibition, such as controlling your anxiety or hiding the fact that you are disappointed. For example, have you ever received a gift you really didn' t like? Perhaps you suppressed your disappointment and replaced it with some positive false emotions, smiled, and said, "Thanks a lot; I really wanted one of those."
We all have to cover up such disappointments once in a while. But what about people who routinely suppress their emotions, who keep everything inside? What are the consequences of chronically inhibiting one' s emotions? Some theorists suggest that emotional inhibition leads to undesirable consequences. For example, Sigmund Freud (see Chapter 9) believed that most psychological problems were the result of inhibited negative emotions and motivations. That is, repression and the other defense mechanisms are ways of preventing an unacceptable emotion from surfacing and being directly experienced and expressed. The early psychoanalysts saw this suppression of emotion, the pushing of unacceptable desires or ur ges into the unconscious, as the root of all psychological problems. Psychoanalytic therapy , or the talking cure, was designed to bring unconscious emotion into conscious awareness, so that it could be experienced and expressed in a mature manner . Moreover, the therapeutic relationship was seen as a place to experience and express emotions that had long been inhibited. There are other therapies that might be called "expressive therapies" because their goal is to get the person to release inhibited emotions.
Other theorists see emotional inhibition more positively . From a developmental perspective, the ability to inhibit emotions is acquired at an early age, at around 3years, and is seen as a major developmental achievement. This is when children, though sad, are able to stop themselves from crying or when angry they can inhibit themselves from striking back (Kopp, 1989; Thompson, 1991). The ability to inhibit negative emotion is seen as a very useful skill to learn in childhood. Children need to learn to control temper outbursts, such as the ur ge to hit someone who takes a toy from them. We have all seen adults who don' t do a very good job of controlling disappointment or frustration, and their behavior (e.g., an adult temper tantrum) is often seen as childish. Some people are, however , very good at inhibiting negative emotions, even strong emotions. As an example, perhaps you have seen the Miss America pageant on television. At the end, the judges narrow down the contest to two deserving women. And, while the camera is on both of them, the winner is announced. The woman who does not win graciously smiles and looks happy and excited for the winner. One wonders, however, if the runner -up is inhibiting herself from displaying the emotions she is really feeling at that moment. Is she really so happy about the other woman winning? Is she inhibiting the expression of her deep disappointment and sadness over her loss?
What do research psychologists know about the ef fects of chronically inhibited emotion? Surprisingly , there have been only a few well-done
Which woman is genuinely happy? The woman on the left, Kelli Bradshaw from North Carolina, reacts to hearing her name called as the first runner-up (second place) in the Miss America Pageant in 1998. By implication, the woman on the right, Nicole Johnson from Virginia, simultaneously realizes that she is the next Miss America.

By implication, the woman on the right, Nicole Johnson from Virginia, simultaneously realizes that she is the next Miss America.
studies that directly address this question. For example, psychologists James Gross and Robert Levenson (1993, 1997; Gross, 2002) designed studies in which some of the participants were asked to suppress the expression of any emotions they were feeling while they watched a video designed to evoke the emotions of happiness (a comedy routine), then sadness (scenes from the funeral of a child, showing a distraught and highly emotional mother). Half of the participants were randomly assigned to the suppression condition, in which they were told, "If you have any feelings as you watch the [video,] please try your best not to let those feelings show . In other words, try to behave in a way that a person watching you would not know you were feeling anything at all." The other half of the participants were assigned to the no suppression condition, in which they were simply told to watch the video and were given no instructions to inhibit their emotions.
While the participants watched the videos, the researchers videotaped the participants, to determine how much the participants expressed their emotions while watching the video. The researchers also collected several physiological measures, such as those we discussed in Chapter 7. They also asked the participants to report on their feelings after each segment of the video.
Results showed that the participants who were instructed to suppress their emotions showed increased levels of physiological arousal, even before the video began, compared with the no-suppression participants. This widespread physiological arousal was interpreted as indicating that the participants were preparing for the ef fort necessary to suppress their emotions. The suppression participants also showed heightened physiological activity during the video, indicating increased sympathetic nervous system arousal, compared with the no-suppression participants. The researchers suggested that suppression of emotion takes ef fort and exerts physiological costs above and beyond the emotional arousal. The participants in the suppression condition showed less outward expression of emotion than did the control participants, as you would imagine. For example, the facial expressions of the suppression participants displayed little emotion, suggesting that they were, in fact, inhibiting the outward expression of their emotions, as instructed. As for the self-report, the suppression participants reported slightly less amusement in the amusement condition, but not less sadness in the sadness condition, compared with the no-suppression participants.
The researchers in this study suggest that hiding one' s emotions, particularly negative emotions, is not likely to influence how one actually feels. Moreove , the inhibition of emotion appears to cause some increased physiological arousal, primarily in the sympathetic nervous system, the system associated with the fight-o -fligh stress response. This study suggests that, at a physiological level, the inhibition of emotion is associated with a pattern of physiological arousal that looks much like a stress response. In other words, the inhibition of emotion seems to come with certain costs to the nervous system.
In addition to its ef fects on physiological arousal, the suppression of emotions also has other negative consequences. In a series of studies, Gross and John (2003) showed that the suppression of negative emotions, achieved by hiding one' s feelings, was also associated with diminished positive emotions later in the experiment. Moreover, these researchers present a questionnaire for assessing whether someone uses suppression as a habitual style of coping with negative emotions. Butler et al. (2003) also showed that people who suppressed their negative emotions had worse interpersonal relations and lower levels of well-being than the more expressive persons. They argued that, by not expressing themselves, suppressors disrupt what is a normal form of communication. This has an inhibiting ef fect on the formation of relationships and reduces rapport between people.
In an interesting line of research on emotion, Gross and colleagues (Ochsner , Bunge, Gross, & Gabrieli, 2002) attempted to locate the emotional control center in the brain. They used fMRI to scan participants' brains while the participants tried to reinterpret a highly negative scene in unemotional terms. They found that several brain areas were associated with the successful regulation of negative emotions. These areas were mainly in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. This frontal part of the brain, which is also involved in planning and executive control, appears to be active when people are controlling their emotions. Interestingly , this is the area that was destroyed in the case of Phineas Gage, discussed in Chapter 7. Recall that Mr . Gage, after his accident, had difficulty controlling his negative emotions, took up cursing in public, wa quick to anger, and frequently insulted people.
Sometimes it is necessary to inhibit feelings. Perhaps you do not want to hurt someone's feelings, perhaps you do not want to antagonize someone in a position of power, or perhaps you do not want to anger someone who is already acting aggressively (Larsen & Prizmic, 2004). For example, your boss may be upset with you for the wrong reason, and you may feel angry toward her . However, you cannot act out that anger because she is your boss and has a lot of power over you in terms of raises, workload, and working conditions. Quite simply , there are some situations in life in which it is wise to choose to hide feelings.
However, problems can arise when emotional inhibition becomes chronic, when a person routinely hides emotions. Someone who characteristically inhibits the free expression of emotion may suf fer the ef fects of chronic sympathetic nervous system arousal. For example, Levy and colleagues (1985) have shown that people who keep their negative emotions to themselves are more likely than expressive persons to have
a higher mortality rate, a greater likelihood of recurrence of cancer after treatment, and a suppressed immune system. For example, cancer patients who express their negative emotions, and who emotionally fight their disease, sometimes live longer tha patients who accept their situation, inhibit their emotions, and quietly accept their treatment (Levy, 1990, Levy & Heiden, 1990).
The importance of emotional expression was illustrated in a study done by Noller (1984) on emotional expressiveness in romantic relationships. Noller found that, the more people expressed their feelings to their partners, the fewer problems they reported in their relationships. Knowing how another feels allows you to adjust your behavior accordingly. If your partner never expresses how he or she feels, then it is difficult to know what makes him or her happy or sad
Other studies suggest that emotional expressiveness is good for our psychological health and general adjustment. King and Emmons (1990) had participants keep daily records of how they were feeling each day for three consecutive weeks. The participants completed a questionnaire measure of emotional expressiveness. The researchers found that emotional expressiveness correlated with higher levels of happiness over the three weeks, as well as with lower levels of anxiety and guilt. A similar study by Katz and Campbell (1994) found that emotional expressiveness was correlated with higher self-esteem.
