How to Disagree March 2008 The web is turning writing into a conversation. Twenty years ago, writers wrote and readers read. The web lets readers respond, and increasingly they do—in comment threads, on forums, and in their own blog posts. Many who respond to something disagree with it. The result is there's a lot more disagreeing going on, especially measured by the word. If we're all going to be disagreeing more, we should be careful to do it well. DH0. This is the lowest form of disagreement, and probably also the most common. u r a fag!!!!!!!!!! But it's important to realize that more articulate name-calling has just as little weight. The author is a self-important dilettante. is really nothing more than a pretentious version of "u r a fag." DH1. An ad hominem attack is not quite as weak as mere name-calling. Of course he would say that. This wouldn't refute the author's argument, but it may at least be relevant to the case. DH2. DH3. This is often combined with DH2 statements, as in: DH4. DH5. DH6.

llective nouns, groups of animals, terms for animal and other groups including birds. A CHAIN of bobolinks (whatever they might be!!) Melissa Bee. Just in case there is anyone else out there who, like me, doesn't know what a Bobolink is I have been reliably informed by Amelia B., that it is a small bird. The male is black and white with a yellow cap on his head and the female is golden brown with brown markings. Another name for a bobolink is a whippoorwill*** (their call sounds a little like someone saying the word whippoorwill). Thanks to Eric Pittenger for this additional information. *** Apparently this is not the case. Clarice Olle has been kind enough to point out that the above is in fact incorrect. A bob-o-link (short for Robert of Lincoln) is NOT the same bird as a whippoorwill. This is confirmed on the site at John Canepa as also provided the following information: Bobolinks and whippoorwills are two different birds.
ohnotheydidnt: Top 5 Videos With Killer Dance Sequences Back in 1989, MTV gave out its first Video Music Award for Best Dance Video, and the honor went to Paula Abdul for "Straight Up." That clip definitely had some fancy moves but we think the appearance from then-boyfriend Arsenio Hall really pushed it over the edge. (Kidding ... sorta.) Needless to say, dancing in music videos has come a long way since then. 1) Michael Jackson's "Thriller": Paula, you're forever our girl but we've gotta give credit where credit is due: We wouldn't dare mention the words "music video dance sequence" without giving well-deserved props to The King of Pop for basically inventing the genre -- especially in his groundbreaking "Thriller" clip. 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.)

Fukushima: It's much worse than you think - Features "Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind," Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, told Al Jazeera. Japan's 9.0 earthquake on March 11 caused a massive tsunami that crippled the cooling systems at the Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan. It also led to hydrogen explosions and reactor meltdowns that forced evacuations of those living within a 20km radius of the plant. Gundersen, a licensed reactor operator with 39 years of nuclear power engineering experience, managing and coordinating projects at 70 nuclear power plants around the US, says the Fukushima nuclear plant likely has more exposed reactor cores than commonly believed. "The problem is how to keep it cool," says Gundersen. Even though the plant is now shut down, fission products such as uranium continue to generate heat, and therefore require cooling. "The fuels are now a molten blob at the bottom of the reactor," Gundersen added.

The Federal Reserve Stores $1 Billion In Dollar Coins That No One Wants Millions of dollars worth of $1 coins languish in a vault at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's Baltimore branch. John W. Poole/NPR hide caption toggle caption John W. Millions of dollars worth of $1 coins languish in a vault at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's Baltimore branch. John W. Politicians in Washington hardly let a few minutes go by without mentioning how broke the government is. Unused dollar coins have been quietly piling up in Federal Reserve vaults in breathtaking numbers, thanks to a government program that has required their production since 2007. On July 12, 2011 Congress sent a letter to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Richard A. And even though the neglected mountain of money recently grew past the $1 billion mark, the U.S. The pile of idle coins, which so far cost $300 million to manufacture, could double by the time the program ends in 2016, the Federal Reserve told Congress last year. It was easier for the bill's sponsor, then-Rep. Try, Try Again

Braves rookie Kimbrel replaces Cain on NL All-Star roster | Through The Fence Baseball Craig Kimbrel has came a long way since his days at Wallace State Community College. The Atlanta Braves rookie phenom Craig Kimbrel finally got the call Sunday night that he was headed to Arizona for the 2011 All-Star game. It was anticipated throughout the weekend that he would be joining baseball’s best, but the announcement couldn’t be made until the Giants game was played and Matt Cain started pitching. There was a chance the game could have been rained out or something crazy could have happened preventing Cain from pitching, which would have had him flying to Phoenix instead of Kimbrel. Kimbrel got the nod over fellow (disgruntled) teammate Tommy Hanson. A little more on Hanson later. Last week, Kimbrel (28 saves) passed Jonathan Papelbon‘s rookie record of 26 saves before the All-Star break. Since then, Venters has been a tad shaky, and manager Fredi Gonzalez acknowledged a little overload in Venters’ work, giving him a little more rest between games. comments
