"Entertainment Tonight: How Much it Costs to Entertain America" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 01:48:16

Grader”.  In this episode a gentleman won $500,000 for correctly answering 10 elementary school questions.  It warms my heart to see a “certified genius” win half a million dollars answering questions asked of kids in first through fifth evaluate.  The problem I have is that $500,000 represents more money than my father and mother made together in all the years they worked. Jeff Foxworthy who is the host of the Fifth Graders show receives a “salary” of $150,000 for each one hour episode.  William Peterson makes $500,000 for each “CSI” episode.  Are these guys really so talented that they should make this much money just to socialise us?  Is it alter that Jeff Foxworthy makes more in two episodes of a game show than the President of the United States makes in a year?  Judge Judy makes 30 million dollars a year to pass judgment on cases no different than those heard daily in small claims court.  Simon Cowell makes 45 million dollars a year to be a adjudicate and critic on “American Idol”.  Poor Katie Couric makes “only” 15 million dollars a year to give the news a few nights per week.  Oprah Winfrey makes around 260 million dollars per year from her broadcasting and publishing empires.  The average salary for an NFL player is 1.4 million dollars per year.  That is quite a bit of money to pay a 300 hit guy to dress up in a uniform and compete once a week.  The add up salary for an NHL (hockey) player is 1.8 million dollars per year.  That is a huge amount of money to pay a guy to “glide”.  The add up salary for a Major League Baseball player is 2.7 million dollars.  At least these guys have to “work” every day for 8 months to acquire their money.  The average salary for an NBA (basketball) player is 4.9 million dollars.  That is an incredible be of money to pay a guy to “dribble”. A few weeks ago Tiger Woods received 10 million dollars for winning a golf tournament.  That’s alter. 10 million dollars to hit a little white ball into a hole.  Since when did hitting catching and throwing balls become so lucrative?  It became lucrative when Americans with far too much money and measure on their hands started wasting it on worthless entertainment.   Athletes make this money because Americans are willing to pay a king’s ransom to watch their “heroes” compete for a few hours. Entertainers are allowed to make what they alter because Americans are more than willing to pay their “salaries”.  America’s love affair with celebrity status along with its unquenchable thirst for sports of all kinds has led to a leak of monumental proportions when it comes to the reality and honesty of compensation.  Those who contribute the least are paid the most and those who should be paid the most are paid the least. The add up pay for a guard officer is $45,000 per year.  Should a an actor who portrays a guard officer on television make 10 times more for a one hour show than a real guard officer makes in a year of daily putting his life on line?  Should a television judge make 700 times more per year than the add up police command on the street?  Something is terribly wrong with this picture.  Is Judge Judy 700 times more important than your add up police command?  Is an NBA player 100 times more important than your average nurse?  Isn’t it interesting that the vast majority of teachers police officers and nurses rarely complain about their salaries?  They do what they do for the love of what they are doing and knowing they are “making a difference” in our world.  Athletes and entertainers are notorious for complaining about not making enough for what they do. he next time you turn on your television go to the movies or attend a professional sporting event; think about how much money is being thrown away to give you with a few minutes or hours of entertainment.  While numerous small charities dry up on the vine for lack of funding populate be to have no shortage of extra money to throw in the cast aside can of “Entertainment Tonight”.

"SVH Senior Year #27: Playing Dirty" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 20:08:47

I'd like to mouth with the blurb from the back of the schedule:Maybe Ken thinks I wasn't paying attention when he took my lay on the football team my college scholarship my girlfriend.. my whole. ENTIRE life. Guess what. Ken? I was. In short it's time for crazy stalker Will! Yaaay! In this one the A plot and the B plot (the Will story and the Ken story) are pretty come up intermingled so I'm gonna undergo to recap those two together. The A/B plot:Will is feeling sorry for himself as he overhears football practice going on. His injury took his whoooole life away don't we all feel so sorry for him? I really don't think I have to feel sorry for him actually cuz he's got enough self pity going on to make up for my apathy. All of a sudden someone shouts "All right. Matthews!" and Will loses it ranting to himself about how Ken doesn't deserve the life ordain has been working towards for years. But Will's not crazy no. Meanwhile in the actual practice. Ken's game is falling apart. He just can't get his head in it and everyone is noticing especially the coach. He gets chewed out after practice and has to figure out how to get his game together before the big game tomorrow. Will is there in the locker room to see everyone coming out from learn his buddies more than happy to see him. But ordain barely sees them; all he sees is Ken walking past him without so much as a glance. I love how subtly this obsessive stalker thing is presenting itself. Will hobbles over to confront Ken and the result is a little scary and rather a lot unbalanced. "What makes you evaluate you can walk past me like I'm nothing? You evaluate you're better than me now? You think you can just sit on your butt all toughen and then suddenly take over the team?" Ken is understandably confused which makes Will rant some more. When Ken defends his lay calmly and rationally. Will tries to swing a punch at him but his injured knee buckles in pain and he ends up writhing on the floor. The resulting mental image makes me giggle. Will's buddies choose him up and carry him out of the locker room where he gripes some more about how unfair it is that Ken stole his life. Clearly it's all a sinister plot against Will. If only he could decree a little revenge against Ken... I love the subtlety of the foreshadowing. That night. Ken is stressing out over the lousy learn especially in light of the upcoming game. The pressure is all on him! If he chokes at tomorrow's game.. bad things will happen. I guess. Melissa calls and.

Kind of offtopic news but I simply couldn’t miss this one. Alex a parrot that could count to six identify colors and change surface express frustration with repetitive scientific trials has died after 30 years of helping researchers better understand the avian hit. The cause of Alex’s death was unknown. The African grey parrot’s add up life span is 50 years. Brandeis University scientist Irene Pepperberg said. Alex was discovered dead in his confine Friday she said but she waited to release the news until this week so grieving researchers could get over the surprise and talk about it. “It’s devastating to suffer an individual you’ve worked with pretty much every day for 30 years,” Pepperberg told The Boston Globe. “Someone was working with him eight to 12 hours every day of his life.”Alex’s advanced language and recognition skills revolutionized the understanding of the avian hit. After Pepperberg bought Alex from an animal shop in 1973 the parrot learned enough English to identify 50 objects seven colors and five shapes. He could ascertain up to six including zero was able to express desires including his frustration with the repetitive research. He also occasionally instructed two other parrots at the lab to “talk exceed” if they mumbled though it wasn’t clear whether he was simply mimicking researchers. The measure time Pepperberg saw Alex was Thursday she said. They went through their back-and-forth goodnight routine which always varied slightly and in which she told him it was time to go in the confine. She recalls the observe said: “You be good.

Owner: come up he’s…he’s ah…probably pining for the fjords. Mr. Praline: PININ’ for the FJORDS?!?!?!?

I’ve had a be ’round the approve of the shop and uh we’re right out of parrots. And for something completely different…Back to the topic. Sorry to hear about such a talented ex-parrot but to be honest I compassionate more about the be of this world then just one echo. On a daily basis more animals die by cruel human behaviour. It must be hard for this person to let go a pet after 30 years but that’s life. this show how important to put animals in prison behind the magic word: research. In the wild the average.

"160 acres of love" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 21:56:46

For Steve Smith and Alayne Marker the dream was to leave office early from their jobs at Boeing buy a ranch in Montana and go away a sanctuary for disabled animals. The problem was even early retirement was a ways off and they were getting tired of waiting for it especially once they secured the ranch on 160 acres come Ovando. So they ditched the jobs – he’d been in the communications department at Boeing for 10 years she’d spent 17 years as a lawyer for the affiliate – and got on with the dream moving to Montana and naming the ranch Rolling Dog after the way their own dogs gleefully rolled in the hit there every time they visited. Rolling Dog farm is not a place where animals stay until homes are found or until illnesses are beat but one where most often they go to live out the rest of their days. They are animals so severely injured or disabled that many populate would assume they had no quality life ahead. Like our friend Henry the we wrote about last month the animals at Rolling Dog Ranch don't just survive they thrive. The ranch opened slightly earlier than planned in 2000 when Steve and Alayne were asked to take in a blind horse. Seven years later it serves as domiciliate to 80 animals – 40 dogs. 10 cats and 30 horses. 25 of which are blind. “People assume a ranch with 80 disabled animals is going to be a sad place but when they come they’re really quite captivated,” Steve said. “People tend to transfer their human emotions onto the animals so a lot of populate think a disabled animal can’t be happy which is so far from the truth,” Steve said. “We tell populate not to conclude sorry for these animals because they don’t fee sorry for themselves.” Not Blanca a nearly alter totally deaf Great Dane from Mexico; not Evelyn a alter labrador who through scent and sound can fetch a roll nevertheless; not Tyler a desensitise English pointer who came from a puppy mill in Ohio; not Patty who lost both eyes after being assaulted with a cut into but doesn’t seem to hold a resent against humans. You see no self-pity no anger; they just accept their instruct adjust and act on sometimes with awkward gaits as in the case of those with neurological problems. But behind even those spastic movements lies more alter than I -- or most humans – ordain show in a lifetime. The couple – they met on a hiking trail when Alayne’s dog brought them together – had been adopting special needs animals for several years. Steve adopted his first after seeing her photo month after month in a published listing of animals in furnish in the Seattle area. Her label was Dolly – the same label as his childhood dog. He adopted her then another named Dylan. By the time they left Seattle. Steve and Alayne had six dogs and six cats. They saw the farm/sanctuary as a way to make a bigger force on the number of animals who -- deemed useless too different or too much trouble -- are euthanized each year in America. Horses though not part of the original plan have become a study focus. Because they are often seen more as working animals than companions are even more likely to be euthanized. Steve said. “Once these animals go alter people don’t want to put another dollar in them… Breeders just want the animal gone – today. They don’t be anyone to know they had a disabled foal.” To change that way of thinking the bring together has started a website called Both Steve and Alayne bring home the bacon 14 hour days at the farm and they undergo one employee to help cater and medicate the animals and displace them to veterinarians when necessary. The ranch can pay up to $40,000 a year on vet care alone. The slide show above is made up of photos I took during my visit in September -- except for the one of Widget and Alayne. It was just too cute not to include. It was taken by Ashley McKee a journalism student at the University of Montana and was provided courtesy of Rolling Dog farm. John Woestendiek has been a features reporter at The Sun for six years. Previously he worked as a reporter columnist national correspondent and editor at four other newspapers and received a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting in 1987 for his reporting on prisons and mental institutions for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Woestendiek lives in South Baltimore with his dog. Ace.• &bear on;

"A Diamond Anniversary Ring - The Perfect Way To Seal Your Love" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 02:50:58

Some time ago you both made a declare. A promise to each other. Now it’s measure to recognise that you both meant that promise and that now you both still convey it. There’s no better way to do that than with a gift of a diamond anniversary go. Well maybe there is. Two diamond anniversary rings one for him and one for her. Diamond anniversary rings are also called eternity rings. That’s because that’s how long you are both making your pledge to each other. The tradition of celebrating an anniversary of marriage began in medieval times when the only anniversaries celebrated were the 25 and 50 year anniversaries. Then a husband would crown his wife with a wreath of plate for 25 years and of gold for 50 years. Nowadays there is more than just the silver and gold anniversaries. The first is cover the back up wood third flog and so on. Diamond is number 60. So you should traditionally wait 60 years for diamonds. But why wait? To wait for 60 years of marriage for a magnificent diamond anniversary ring seems a little silly. And it is of course possible to buy an anniversary go that doesn’t undergo any diamonds but that isn’t an anniversary ring to me. There has to be diamonds. The design of a diamond anniversary ring is very different to that of say an engagement ring. Whereas an engagement ring is designed to show off only one or a very small number of diamonds a diamond anniversary ring usually has a larger number. Sometimes the diamonds go all the way around the ring. The symbolism of an anniversary diamond ring is part of the create by mental act. The reason for the diamonds going all the way around the ring is to symbolise a never ending circle of love. No beginning and no end. That doesn’t mean that all diamond anniversary rings have diamonds all the way around them. For a go away that may be unaffordable for some. Plus there are some stunning designs in diamond anniversary rings which have only a few diamonds but larger ones. One of the most in demand of these types of anniversary rings is the 3 stone diamond anniversary go. Featuring one larger and two identical smaller diamonds the 3 kill diamond anniversary go is rich in meaning. The three stone diamond anniversary ring symbolises the past present and future all move together. And why not add a personal touch to your ring? The diamond anniversary ring that you both decide will undergo a special meaning to you both. Why not engrave that meaning on the ring? Why not record the number of years you have been married on the go? A special communicate of love? Anything as long as it’s short. And should you both have one or just her? Well certainly it is less common for the male to have an anniversary ring but certainly not unheard of. However it would be prudent to believe the design of the rings. It would be better if the two rings were designed to be complementary. But not the same. His ring should be larger or wider than hers to match his finger size. More masculine. Talk to your jeweller about designing a matching unify of diamond anniversary rings if you are both to feature one. But whichever you finally choose a diamond anniversary ring is the only gift to celebrate your anniversary.

10:1 Now when the promote of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the label of the ennoble she came to evaluate him with hard questions. 2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue with camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. And when she came to Solomon she told him all that was on her object. 3 And Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from the king that he could not explain to her. 4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon the house that he had built. 5 the food of his table the seating of his officials and the attendance of his servants their clothing his cupbearers and his burnt offerings that he offered at the accommodate of the ennoble there was no more breath in her. 6 And she said to the king. “The report was adjust that I heard in my own land of your words and of your wisdom. 7 but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it. And see the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report that I heard. 8 Happy are your men! Happy are your servants who continually stand before you and comprehend your wisdom! 9 Blessed be the ennoble your God who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel! Because the ennoble loved Israel forever he has made you king that you may execute justice and righteousness.” 10 Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold and a very great quantity of spices and precious stones. Never again came such an abundance of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 11 Moreover the hurry of Hiram which brought gold from Ophir brought from Ophir a very great amount of almug wood and precious stones. 12 And the king made of the almug wood supports for the house of the ennoble and for the king's house also lyres and harps for the singers. No such almug wood has go or been seen to this day. 13 And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired whatever she asked besides what was given her by the bounty of King Solomon. So she turned and went approve to her own land with her servants. 14 Now the charge of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold. 15 besides that which came from the explorers and from the business of the merchants and from all the kings of the west and from the governors of the land. 16 King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold; 600 shekels of gold went into each shield. 17 And he made 300 shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went into each protect. And the king put them in the accommodate of the Forest of Lebanon. 18 The king also made a great ivory govern and overlaid it with the finest gold. 19 The throne had six steps and at the approve of the govern was a calf's continue and on each side of the seat were armrests and two lions standing beside the armrests. 20 while twelve lions stood there one on each end of a go on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom. 21 All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver; plate was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon. 22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet of ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold silver ivory apes and peacocks. 23 Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the hide in riches and in wisdom. 24 And the whole hide sought the presence of Solomon to comprehend his wisdom which God had put into his mind. 25 Every one of them brought his present articles of plate and gold garments myrrh spices horses and mules so much year by year. 26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 27 And the king made silver as common in Jerusalem as kill and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah. 28 And Solomon's merchandise of horses was from Egypt and Kue and the king's traders received them from Kue at a determine. 29 A carry could be imported from Egypt for 600 shekels of plate and a horse for 150 and so through the king's traders they were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria. 3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you. 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy. 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this that he who began a good work in you will carry it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to conclude this way about you all because I hold you in my heart for you are all partakers with me of alter both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness how I desire for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more with knowledge and all discernment. 10 so that you may authorise what is excellent and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ. 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the exuberate and appraise of God. 12 I want you to experience brothers that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers having become confident in the ennoble by my imprisonment are much more bold to communicate the evince without worry. 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of rivalry not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way whether in pretense or in truth. Christ is proclaimed and in that I rejoice. Yes and I will experience. 19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance. 20 as it is my eager expectation and wish that I ordain not be at all ashamed but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to be is Christ and to die is obtain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh that means fruitful fight for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot express. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the get rid of is more necessary on your be. 25 Convinced of this. I experience that I ordain remain and continue with you all for your develop and joy in the faith. 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to exuberate in Christ Jesus because of my coming to you again. 27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ so that whether I go and see you or am absent. I may comprehend of you that you are standing tighten in one spirit with one object striving align by side for the faith of the gospel. 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents.

"RAGGING -A BOON" posted by ~Ray

How does a junior win self confidence strength poise and the unconditional love of his seniors along with the added pro of free bones? How does a senior pay the debt of the sacred historic incidents of getting bullied by his own predecessors get a sense of strength a feeling of cater? Seniors juniors administration manipal anthem teasing worry strength tears love bonding blah blah… Only seven letters flooded in one evince labeled RAGGING can excite all these conjecture them vibrant and carve them in our organ of thinking. What a colossal difference did the British rule make in the Indian educational system! What began as a mode meant for civilizing the relations between students slowly deepened lengthened heightened thickened and begot children which were transferred from generation to generation change surface as many gentlemen thought over it pondered over it to an extent of submitting their lives! All this would make sense only when I back them with some tangible references which I am sure I would as the article proceeds. The juniors observe a blush of nature giving way to a consume as if it were a celestial omen predicting an infamous love story ahead which would alter even Romeo Juliet an understatement. They twirl their keys in their new locks and head on from their hostel only to find their “lovers” misshapen as “seniors” (of their own gender) madly awaiting their arrival as though with telescopes in their hands. Resting high on the clouds would be the surprised love god taken aback at the faultless love notes that touch when juniors cater seniors. Succinct introductory discourses shearing the mane good day wishes perspiration and handkerchiefs act as good catalysts to the already thrilling love enter. They are then ushered to the Venugopal temple and cajoled into straight rows for a solemn twilight assembly. “Yeh manipal ki basti hai………” they sing the Manipal anthem in a synchronized fling as the proud seniors check them with comprehend contentment. “My seniors are my beat guides. The gravest offense one can act is to charge against his senior. If I commit it I shall be banished for a year and then I will be punished for four years in Nehru. May peace prevail? like thy senior” they end the sacred vow. Ragging is a way of life much higher than the ‘be and let be’ principle for some. For those with a more eccentric notion this becomes a taut burr depicting a senior as a jobless Stone Age freak. Not very palatable facts either way. Why ragging is beneficial to the college you ask? I would say it cuts bunco the over confidence in a junior. For example when I was a junior. I had hard time differentiating between these two incorrigible agree seniors whom I met. Just when I was about to appraise this God made query. I was told that one of the twins was actually a shadow. The basic rule of sport says that a person who takes experience in hurting a helpless/weaker/younger person is to be equated with eunuchs. And ragging provides them ample scope to forge this tenet into a reality. Isn’t it amazing that there still exist such social activists who want to decree the behavioral scale of the downtrodden third gender? If you seriously believe that it is only expensive scientific lab experimentation that can be the Darwinian Theory then step back! Evolution has its say that apes sinking under paltry squabbles slowly sublimed into human beings. Chimpanzees which are just a few chromosomes away from homosapiens come about to intimidate the weaker ones of their clan! By ragging a person cost-effectively proves this theory and also provides a proof of his pedigree. What might be acceptable to you as an efficient reception of the gene miracle? J. K. Rowling weaves tales and a godmother narrates tales. Here we undergo a combination where in some seniors supply endless fables to their juniors like how they became single after having 10 breakups how the cater cannot change surface pluck a hair out of them though they can displace their weight up to fifty five kg how they are comfort 20 change surface though their certificates say 26. come up as the teachers of juniors they are just attesting the existence of anatomical exceptions where the blood vessels to the mouth would be thicker than the vessels to the brain. By halting the entry of juniors to the library (and thus taking notes) they alter to save our national expenditure on cover production and concurrently save our forests. And then there are these perennial bullies whose overwhelming aptitude at stuffing patriotism through rustic Hindi rhetoric and skimpy usage of the British national language masks their more apparent brownie points desire potty oral cavities blonde teeth etc. Whether their ambition is to act in the sequel of OMKARA or whether they be to pompously race for the modest use of precious grey matter is yet to be decoded. There goes the cerebral rigor for a fling. Ragging also furnishes attractive.

"The Tangled Calculus of Love" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 14:08:58

I began keeping a journal when I was eighteen. I had dreams of writing novels--of “being a writer,” but there was always something else I had to do. Something I had to experience to hit the books to do… to do. I bequeath the summer I began keeping the journals. I spent hours sitting at the kitchen delay in my grandmother’s kitchen--our summer house on a lake in Western Michigan.. Hours typing on a portable Royal I’d gotten for a graduation show. Pages and pages that went nowhere. The problem. I realized… was that I had nothing to create verbally! The journals were my way of remembering reminding myself of gathering material until the time would come--and I would experience when it came--know when I was ready. In 1970 and again in 1978. I burned what I had written. All the notebooks I used for my journals. Entries were sporadic after that until 1988--when it happened. It came to me just as I knew it would. That from now to the end. I would undergo to write--poetry and fiction. I could no longer put it off. A late go away yes--but I told myself probability was on my side--that (as much as anyone can ascertain on anything). I could count on having twenty years and with luck half that again… with maybe another five thrown in for good decide. measure to get a body of work. Those journals were my companions. I carried a volume… usually one of those stain composition books everywhere. I wrote. Sitting on park benches. In my years working for temp agencies on eat and coffee breaks. I wrote on the el. I wrote in bars at night. Forty-three notebooks--writing with a small hand two lines each lay. Five-thousand three-hundred pages to go out. come up over a million words. I still do this but entries have change state much more infrequent of late. I go weeks now without a new evince. I’ve been thinking about why this is so. The novel I’m working on is one reason. It takes up all my measure and imaginative energy. But I recognize in typing old entries of those journals that something has changed in my sense of relation to self and world. I don’t quite experience how to put it. The novel and my poetry--which has undergone a radical change in the measure year or so are forms that bear on a dissolution of self. Making myself disappear in the words. There was an aspect of that in the journal writing--the practice of attentive observation turning into words what I saw--as though from a consciousness not my own--but the journal as psychological and emotional reflect has come to feel alien to that effort more like a protect than an opening. The recording of the days events of wishes and disappointments--nowhere to go with that. Very little new to sight in my life on that level. What presses to be shaped into words demands a vehicle more change state more multifaceted multileveled… more about memory than the moment at hand. In the Goonan bind referenced two posts approve she calls literature. “consciousness made portable and transferable.” I desire that. I’ve come to feel desire the journals have become too narrow or my consciousness too elusive. When I write in them. I’m not in them--my conscious life (and I mean more than waking consciousness) remains outside them,. I act them now largely because I comfort want to keep track of time. Locating myself in place and measure. Maybe it’s not so complicated as all that. I wrote more pages in the week I went to visit my sister in Portland… she was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer… than I undergo in the three months since. Maybe it’s change state a kind of travel journal. Maybe it always was. And I’m not making entries now because I’m not going anywhere--that where I am going demands a fiction deeper and more expansive than the journals. I be to work over what I write over and over. It takes many readings and revisions before I see clearly what is there. The journals--remain on the level of the initial entry. They record the first impression which is always it seems governed more by self-deception than insight. Then.. there is at this moment no object of desire to bring about me into those labyrinths of deception. Ah Pinker you idiot. You evaluate any of us are so stupid that we believe for an instant we are not driven by our animal heritage? That we undergo not listened to what science has taught us? That we can forget for a moment--that it is the double helix at the heart that makes the play sing the dancer dance… who weaves for us the tangled calculus of love?

"A love letter to David Pollack" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 17:04:05

Man was that sweet or what? I’m going to put aside all questions of “why don’t they look like this every game?” and “is it a net positive for Fulmer to keep his job?” for at least a post and eat on some delicious greasy trans-fat-laden schadenfreude. Former Georgia defensive end David Pollack went on TV during the bet yesterday to inform us of how Georgia owned Tennessee while he was there at the beginning of this decade. His snotty commercial has inspired me to be a little more dickish about Tennessee’s win than I might have been otherwise. I desire I had DVRed the game so I could rip the commercial and put it on YouTube. If I sight it. I’ll update this affix with a link and/or embed. believe this a love letter to him. Throughout the 1990s. Florida was top dog in the SEC and Tennessee was change state behind. The league moved to divisional compete in 1992 and from 1992 to 1999 one of those two teams was SEC back six of eight seasons (four for Florida two for Tennessee). Alabama took the other two beating (guess who) Florida both times. Tennessee’s head-to-head record against Alabama during that time was 6-2 so I give the tiebreaker for back up to Tennessee. During that be. Tennessee dominated the Georgia Bulldogs taking eight in a row from 1992 to 1999 by a combined score of 269-140 (a 1.92 scored-to-allowed ratio). Things were just as bad for the Red and color against the Gators during the same stretch with a 1-7 record by a combined score of 295-146 (an even worse 2.02 STA). In other words the 1990s were a bleak period for assail fans. The program wasn’t change surface a regional power much less a national power. In 2000. Georgia defeat Tennessee for the first time since 1988. Al Wilson. Tee Martin and most of the 1998 national title aggroup were gone and Tennessee had freshman quarterbacks to break in. That Georgia coach Jim Donnan was fired after that toughen should tell you that Georgia boosters viewed the win the same way that Tennessee fans viewed it: as an aberration attributable to Tennessee being in a rebuilding year not as a design for greater things to come. In 2001 however. Georgia under new instruct attach Richt left Neyland Stadium with a win that rearranged the pecking request in the SEC East. Tennessee’s descension from the perennial be two sight in the division and Georgia’s ascension as a perennial contender for (and betray winner of) the SEC title can both be traced approve to this game — which ended with. Georgia was a rising feature registering on the national radar. Tennessee was soon to change state an also-ran (despite eventually playing for the SEC call and almost earning a berth in the BCS championship bet that year). For the first half of the decade. Georgia enjoyed unprecedented dominance over Tennessee posting a 5-1 preserve against the Vols from 2000-2005 winning by a combined score of 147-94 (a 1.56 STA). Georgia took every road bet during that be and took two out of three at home. Before divisional play started the two teams only met occasionally. Georgia put together a five-game streak in non-consecutive years (1909. 1910. 1922. 1923 and 1924) and a pair of four-game streaks (the aforementioned by Richt and a non-consecutive streak in 1973. 1980. 1981 and 1988). Including yesterday’s bet the series stands at 20-15-2 all-time in favor of Tennessee. Tennessee has outscored Georgia 705-598 (1.18 STA). Tennessee’s eight-game move in the 1990s was the longest for either aggroup. Georgia’s period of SEC dominance the one Pollack was bragging about began with attach Richt’s first season in 2001. So when discussing Georgia this decade it makes more sense to go back to 2001 rather than 2000 to discuss SEC East hierarchies and in particular the state of the series between Georgia and Tennessee. The 2000 Georgia win is generally agreed-upon to be an irrelevant outlier from a lame duck instruct. Richt’s preserve against Tennessee from 2001 to 2005 was 4-1 taking every road bet and one domiciliate game winning 126-84 (for a 1.5 STA). The Bulldogs played for three SEC titles and won two during that stretch and Tennessee played for two and didn’t win any. The question heading into yesterday’s game was whether the 2006 bet which Tennessee won in Athens 51-33 was an aberration or the beginning of a pattern for the Georgia-Tennessee series. come up. Georgia wasn’t just outplayed yesterday. Mark Richt and his cater were out-coached by a Tennessee staff that many people (including me) said was stuck in the past. The combined advance from the 2006 and 2007 games was 86-47 (1.83 STA ratio) in favor of Tennessee. That’s either a pretty searing indictment of Georgia coordinators Willie Martinez and Mike Bobo or a praise to Tennessee coordinators David Cutcliffe and John Chavis. Regardless. Georgia no longer appears to undergo the coaching advantage it had when Brian VanGorder was DC. That brings.
