Scouting reports on four automatically eligible prospects: Michael Dunigan, Jeremy Tyler, Adam Hanga and Giorgi Shermadini.
Automatically eligible for the 2011 NBA draft despite only turning 20 a couple of weeks ago, the Jeremy Tyler saga will finally reach an abrupt end as he waits to hear his name called on Thursday night. For two years, Tyler has been a lightning-rod for controversy, bypassing his senior year of high school to play for Maccabi Haifa in the Israeli League, struggling with the pressures of being an 18 year-old pro, subsequently signing to play in the Japanese BJ League, and seeing the lesser than stellar season he was having cut short by the tragic earthquake.
Seeing limited minutes in both of his professional seasons and taking a huge step down in level of competition, scouts have as many questions about Tyler's fundamentals and his feel for the game as they do about his maturity and ability to handle the pressures of being a young player developing on a NBA bench. Recent interviews and workouts have answered some of those questions, and Tyler's camp has done a terrific job addressing his off-court issues over the past few months, but a degree of uncertainty about the San Diego native remains.
The one question scouts are not asking is whether or not Tyler has the physical tools to compete at the NBA level. Standing nearly 6'11 with a 7'5 wingspan, tipping the scales with a 260+ pound frame that still has plenty of room for improvement, and possessing very good athleticism for a player with those measurements, Tyler has all the makings of a NBA big man on first glance.
Unfortunately, those tools did not consistently manifest themselves in any significant way in the very weak Japanese BJ League (not the top league in that country), which is obviously concerning. Tyler struggled mightily for stretches, and just as he was seemingly turning the corner, he was flying back to the United States after the cancellation of the rest of his team's games.
One of the tallest and stronger players in the Japanese League, Tyler had some brief stretches of impressive play for the Apache. He was able to use his size to establish deep position in the post at times, and showed a budding turnaround jump shot and face-up game. His near 7'5 wingspan allowed him to get his shot of at will even if the moves he was making were quite erratic at times.
Unfortunately, for every shot Tyler made in the post he missed an equally makeable short-range attempt or turned directly into the teeth of the defense in the post and coughed the ball up.
Working extensively with former San Antonio Spurs head coach and notable big man developer, Bob Hill, Tyler's skill level has improved from his high school days, and his 52% shooting in Japan is far better than the 44% he mustered in Israel. Unfortunately, Tyler's feel for utilizing the skills he has developed remains limited. His recognition of where to go with the ball in one-on-one situations is questionable, and despite the size advantage he had in Japan, he did not make too many strong, decisive moves to the rim or elevate well to finish in a crowd. Only compounding the challenges he faced in his learning process this season, he turned the ball over at a frustratingly high rate with his back to the basket.
To Tyler's credit, he did face quite a few double teams for a player still very much learning the game, and used his leaping ability far more effectively on the offensive glass when he had a bit of time to gather himself. He also knocked down quite a few perimeter shots for a center. Tyler's shooting isn't close to being on par with someone like Nikola Vucevic, and he struggled from the foul line, but his midrange stroke is one of his more intriguing tools considering his ability to get it off in the post and when facing up.
Defensively, Tyler did show an improved motor, which is significant considering he was maligned for his efforts early in his career. His activity level stayed fairly solid when he was on the floor, but he's still foul prone and yet to learn how to maximize his physical tools. He lets himself get pushed around too easily at times, and though he doesn't give up too many truly easy baskets, he's going to benefit immensely from a NBA strength and conditioning program and a coach who continue to push his development.
Breaking down Tyler's success, or lack thereof, in the Japanese BJ League is only a small piece of the puzzle in analyzing his draft stock. NBA teams always place a premium on size, and Tyler has that. In this draft, they are looking for players with legitimate potential, and Tyler has that too. They also take a keen interest in every prospect's intangibles, and that is where Tyler's situation get murky. He's done a good job handling himself throughout the trials of the workout and interview process, but what, if any red flags teams uncover in their background checks and psychological analyses will be hugely important to where he gets selected.
Adam Hanga is one of the lesser known international prospects in this draft. Playing his entire career in his native Hungary to this point, Hanga has garnered attention for his play with the Hungarian National Team and generated some buzz after showcasing his game in front of scouts at the EuroCamp a few weeks ago.
Standing a shade under 6'7 with a below average 6-7 ½ wingspan, Hanga has good height for a perimeter player at the NBA level, and matches it with impressive athleticism for a European prospect. He has very good straight-line speed, a quick first step, and adequate leaping ability. His sub-200 pound frame does not limit him in the Hungarian League, but will be an area of interest if and when he makes the transition to the NBA and begins matching up with stronger players defensively and take contact offensively.
Hanga's physical tools made him a dominant figure in the Hungarian League, where he essentially gave Albacomp an additional import-level talent. Seldom facing an athlete up to his standards in domestic play, Hanga was at his best around the basket and out in transition since he could get to the rim essentially whenever he wanted to and turn on the jets and win a footrace in the open floor virtually at will. On top of that, he shows very nice touch in the paint, even knocking down an occasional high-arcing floater with the defense collapses around him.
Seldom needing to change directions with the ball when he drives into the paint in the Hungarian League, Hanga does not appear to be very shifty off the dribble. He does do a decent job changing gears as he breaks down his defender to slash to the rim, but likes to keep things fairly linear, something he may have to change when he faces off with more athletic defenders for the road. He'll also need to become more adept at drawing fouls and finishing through contact, as he struggles at times when challenged in the paint, and only averaged one free throw attempt for every 11 minutes he spent on the court.
Away from the basket, Hanga is capable of knocking down shots from beyond the arc, but lacks some consistency in his perimeter footwork and mechanics. His follow-through is consistent, but he will force some off-balance shots from time to time, varying his release and rhythm slightly when he has more or less time than expected out on the perimeter. His midrange game is still a work in progress at this point in his career, since up until this point, his level of competition hasn't required him to develop one.
When Hanga isn't looking to score, he does a nice job setting up his teammates in Hungarian League, but does not show a tremendous feel for the game against better competition. Though he's not a pure point guard by any stretch of the imagination, at 6'7, Hanga has some experience as a primary ball-handler. His ability to distort Hungarian defenses at will allows him to make easy passes to wide-open cutters and rack up assists, but when he can't simply turn the corner and draw an additional defender, he isn't a dynamic playmaker.
Defensively, Hanga has the quickness to be able to capably defend his position at the NBA-level, but hasn't faced off against too many NBA-caliber scorers in his career. His size and rangy stride makes him a factor in the passing lanes, and he shows very solid lateral quickness. If he continues improving his frame, he could have all the makings of a highly versatile defender down the road, although his lack of length does put him at a disadvantage.
At this point, the Hungarian swingman is not a surefire draft pick, but his situation is intriguing. He recently signed a multi-year deal with Assignia Manresa of the ACB, making a ready-made candidate for a team looking to draft-and-stash a prospect with their second round pick. On top of not having to bring him over immediately, any team picking him would get to monitor his ability to deal with the significant jump in competition he'll face next season, giving them a point of reference should they debate adding him to their roster.
A supremely high-usage player at the level he played it, Hanga likely would have been better served leaving his home nation a few years ago and gain experience as a roleplayer, as he's going to have to adjust to a different role while he's learning to play the game at a higher-level simultaneous, which will certainly be a challenge. Despite being 22 years old, Hanga is a largely untested talent, and even if he isn't selected, he's a player teams will be keeping an eye on him since his inexperience, coupled with his size and athleticism, give him a degree of upside they don't often see from automatically eligibly international players.
The last time we wrote about Giorgi Shermadini, he was an early entry candidate for 2008 NBA draft fresh off a solid showing at the 2008 EuroCamp. Having played in his native Georgia until that point, Shermadini withdrew his name from the draft and signed with Greek power Panathinaikos later that fall. Seeing limited action in two seasons in Athens, he was loaned to fellow Euroleague participant Union Olimpija Ljubljana for the 2010-11 season.
Seeing his first consistent playing time since leaving his home country, Shermadini has re-emerged as a substantial NBA prospect. Standing somewhere in the ball-park of 7'0 tall and possessing a somewhat problematic 250-pound that would benefit immensely from some added muscle, Shermadini is a fairly mobile big man for his size. He runs the floor somewhat awkwardly, but can get off his feet to challenge shots and finish above the rim.
According to Synergy Sports Technology, a little more than 50% of Shermadini's touches from cuts, roll man situations, and put-backs. Showing a terrific effort level around the paint, Shermadini's size and deft touch allowed him to convert those opportunities at a tremendous 70% rate last season. Shermadini lacks upper body strength, brings the ball down too low at times after the catch, and does not always finish through contact effectively, but he does a tremendous job maintaining spacing, setting screens, filling lanes, staying with the play, and actively pursuing the ball off the rim.
In the post, Shermadini relies on his ability to carve out position to score. Though he is not a heavily utilized part of Olimpija's offensive attack, he sees the ball at a pretty consistent rate down low. Able to carve out space on the block against smaller players, Shermadini's size makes him a good target for lob passes, and he has a basic post-game. He struggles with turnovers against stronger, more physical players, but he doesn't hurt his team by forcing difficult shots down low.
Away from the basket, Shermadini has shown the ability to knock down perimeter shots in limited touches. Similar to his approach in the post, Shermadini is not overly assertive, taking most of his shots when he's wide open and showing range all the way out to a step inside the three-point arc. He knocks down his free throws at a good rate, and while he won't be relied on to stretch the floor should he play in the NBA, he could develop the consistency to not have to sit on the block if he's paired with a very capable post-up four.
Considering the small role he played for Olimpija and the similarly small role he'd likely play in the NBA long-term, Shermadini's biggest weakness is his turnover rate. Struggling to hang onto the ball in traffic, the Georgian center needs to get stronger and be more decisive in the paint.
Defensively, Shermadini really struggles against stronger back to the basket players, but not for lack of trying. He shows a good activity level and is a smart team defender. He's very foul prone at this point, as his main weakness is his inability to keep his man from getting a foot in the paint on the catch.
Similar to Hanga, Shermadini is an intriguing draft and stash prospect in the latter part of the 2nd round. He showed well in his first season competing at the highest levels of European basketball, and definitely still has some room to improve, especially if he's actually 21 like his date of birth indicates, and not 24 like most NBA teams suspect. Either way, he's clearly not a finished product. His energy level and size make him a legitimate prospect, albeit one with a low ceiling.

Kathryn Magnolia Johnson was an African American activist whose literary activism deserves greater attention and who transformed her Ford Coupe into a roving bookstore and editorial office during the 1920s. Using archival sources like Johnson's unpublished autobiography, this essay asserts that her literary history belongs in a nineteenth-century tradition of itinerancy and editorial evangelism by African American women. My argument for a literary-historical approach to Johnson as an editorial figure invested in a long nineteenth-century framework is threefold: first, that Johnson's compilation, distribution, and revisions to her "Two-Foot Shelf" makes her an editor and curator; second, that Johnson's work marks a significant example of how early car culture encouraged interventions into gendered discourses of mobility in the American landscape; and finally, that Johnson's efforts taking literary activism on the road served to amplify the possibilities, as well as the limits, of civic belonging available to her (and others engaged in similar endeavors) as an African American woman in the early twentieth century.


With all the buzz about activity based working environments these days, property teams worldwide are starting to sit up and take notice. That's especially true in Australia and New Zealand, where some of the largest organisations, such as NAB, ANZ, Commmonwealth Bank, and Westpac are leading the way in creating modern spaces with non-assigned seating.
These workplaces of the future are not only driving down the cost of real estate for these large firms, but helping to attract top talent and to create a culture of collaboration and innovation.
While we can't name names, we also know of more Australian government departments currently exploring the option, with pilot programs in the works.
Here's why exploring a move to activity based working is smart for the public sector.
It's true that government agencies do face certain challenges in making the move to activity based working, above and beyond the ones faced by private enterprise, such as overcoming employee anxiety and resistance to change. For government departments, older buildings and lack of budget to refurbish can also hinder plans to change to an activity based working environment. In addition, government departments face restrictions from Enterprise Bargaining Agreements and mandated business practices.
Real estate represents one of the highest costs faced by organisations, second only to the cost of labour. Most property teams are facing pressure to reduce the cost of workspace, but Australian government departments face an even greater challenge. They are mandated by law to reduce costs every year, in the form of the yearly efficiency dividend.
Since activity based working allows organisations to accommodate more people in fewer square meters, it's an attractive option for helping to meet occupational density and vacancy targets, as well as reducing overall real estate spend without any reduction in headcount.
According to a report by global property services firm JLL, Australian government agencies can reduce their property footprint by as much as 40 percent by adopting activity based working environments.
While many organisations initially face objections to activity based working, once they demonstrate the benefits for workers and ease their anxieties, these modern environments help workers to be more engaged and productive.
After all, in exchange for the desk they lose, employees stand to gain spaces that are better suited for the work they are doing, more collaborative spaces where they can connect with co-workers, and fun features like employee lounges, kitchens are areas for relaxation. It's a proven fact: happy workers produce better results.
With constant pressure to reduce cost and meet the challenges of changing government initiatives, the public sector must be constantly looking for ways to improve. When you need ideas and innovation, fostering a collaborative culture within your organization is a good place to start. When teams have spaces that encourage them to work together, as activity based working spaces do, there's a significant increase in creative thinking.
There's a reason activity based working is sometimes referred to as "agile working." These environments are more conducive to changing business conditions and implementing new initiatives quickly. These are challenges that government agencies face regularly. Whenever a new regime takes over with new priorities and new laws are enacted, public sector departments need to be able to turn on a dime. Agile spaces can more easily accommodate fluctuations in numbers of workers and reorganizations due to new plans.
It's no secret that there's a shortage of skilled and talented workers in many industries and regions. Government agencies are competing for talent with private companies out there providing comfortable and even fun work environments. Millennials in particular are drawn to the cool new features found in activity based working environments.
If you're considering a move to activity based working, even if that move might be years down the road, now is the time to implement technology that can help you on the journey to right-sizing your office space.
Any plan to move to a non-assigned seating model must begin with understanding and taking control of your current utilisation of space. Workplace management software helps you build reliable data about your work space and how it is being used, stating with business unit allocation and down to the seat level. When you have this accurate information, you can use it to gain the trust of your business units, drive conversations about strategic changes, and even build a business case for a move to activity based working.
Technology also provides the data you'll need to design and implement the activity based working environment that's right for you. For example, to decide on people-to-seats ratios for each business unit, you must have a deep understanding of space utilisation, not just who sits where. That's where utilisation tracking technologies come into play, such as RFID tags, badge swipes or speed gates, lighting and desk sensors and network capture tools. Besides giving you the data to make good decisions, the data from these technologies can also power wayfinding tools for employees to find work spaces and each other in the new environment.
To learn more about the different technologies for collecting utilisation data, take a look at this helpful resource: Measuring Workplace Utilization.

Has great puck-moving skills, outstanding skating ability and a very low panic threshold. Also boasts decent size for the NHL game. Can produce big numbers at all levels and log huge amounts of ice time. Can be a little too loose in his defensive play from time to time, so he could stand to tighten things up a little bit more so as to become even more consistent. Injuries could be a problem, too.

Country: Russia/United States | Born: 1895 - Died: 1940
Sasha Stone (1895-1940) was born Aleksander Serge Steinsapir in St. Petersburg, Russia, of Jewish parents. He lived and worked in Europe and America between the wars and is best known for his portraits, nude studies, photographs of Berlin and for his photojournalism. Stone studied engineering in Warsaw, and then spent several years in New York, where he obtained American citizenship and chose the pseudonym Sasha Stone. After a sculptor and painter education in Paris and Berlin, Stone described himself as an expert in the fields of advertising, architecture, illustration, film, and stage design. In the 1920s, Sasha Stone worked as a professional photographer in Berlin, primarily for the illustrated magazines published by the Ullstein publishing house. He belonged to the circle around the constructivist periodical "G", which included Moholy-Nagy, Mies van der Rohe, El Lissitzky and Walter Benjamin. He created the photomontage for the original book jacket of Benjamin's famous Einbahnstraße (One-Way Street) - which is still used for the English Penguin edition. In 1929, Stone published Berlin in Pictures, which is extremely difficult to find today. Both, his and his wife Cami's photographs were published in the German photography annual Das Deutsche Lichtbild. Threatened by the rising Fascism, they fled Germany in 1932 and moved to Brussels. Their studio was located at 18 rue de Naples until the German invasion of Belgium in 1940. Sasha Stone's nude work appeared in Les Femmes, and was published by Editions Arts et Metiers Graphiques, Paris, in 1933. His nudes are usually in poses that are quite modernist in sensibility, and the lighting emphasizes their sculptural shapes and angles. The couple separated in 1939. Cami again assumed her maiden name. Sasha died in 1939 during his flight to the United States in Perpignan. 800 photos of the archive of Cami and Sasha Stone, lost until recently, were auctioned in Argenteuil, France, in 2009. Cami Stones nephew had rescued the archive during World War II and stored it until last year.

OREGON ELECTION RESULTS: GOVERNOR'S RACE
With win, Brown looks ahead to four years -- her last in elective office
In a surprisingly swift end, Gov. Kate Brown fended off state legislator many saw as the Republican's best chance to return to the governor's suite. Brown will go into her new term with a stronger-than-ever Democratic majority in the Legislature.

On Tuesday night, Kate Brown ended a record-breaking year for campaign spending and anticipating what could be her last four years in public office.
The Democrat defeated Republican Knute Buehler, a surgeon and state legislator from Bend, in a race that was decided quickly after balloting ended Tuesday night.
Her election means a continuing press on environmental issues and on education. With no election ahead of her, she faces a term with a firmer hold on the office and less of a need to grasp political advantage.
The two spent more than $30 million combined in their bids for Oregon's top desk, noted especially by major donations to Buehler from Nike co-founder Phil Knight. By late Tuesday, elections officials had counted 1.4 million ballots.
Brown, from a lectern at the Hilton Portland Downtown, told supporters that voters showed how elections in Oregon aren't all about who raises the most money.
"No one person should be able to buy the governor's office," Brown said to cheers.
Polls closed at 8 p.m. and, although first results trickled in around 8 p.m., Brown was declared winner by 8:20. Buehler conceded after 8:30, telling supporters at the Sentinel Hotel in Portland that he was as disappointed as they were.
"My voice will not be leading this state for the next four years and I certainly accept that decision," he said. "But let's also be very clear: the status quo in this state is not tolerable."
Polls leading into November showed the two candidates virtually neck-and-neck. In her nearly 8-minute victory speech, Brown said her stances on education, affordable housing and health care won over Oregonians.
"This election shows that when Oregonians are given an opportunity to invest in our classrooms, to build affordable housing, to protect health care, it's not a toss-up. It's not even a close call," she said.
But, afterward, Brown conceded she worried it could have been much closer.
"I knew the race was going to be close, and thought it would be close all along, but to take this solid of a lead made me really happy," she said.
Victory secured Brown her second term as Oregon's governor. She succeeded to the job in 2015 after the resignation of former Gov. John Kitzhaber. Brown, 58, then won a special election in 2016.
It also secured Brown a governance with a Democratic supermajority, as the party seized at least three seats in the Oregon House by Tuesday night.
"It's just really cool to be able to pick up races in the state House and the Senate and really be able to make a huge difference over the next two years in Oregon, and keep Oregon moving forward," Brown said.
Brown's victory was lauded by environmental groups and some unions. Doug Moore, executive director of the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, said Brown's re-election kept the climate in good hands.
"Climate change was on the ballot, and climate change won with Kate Brown," he said.
Joe Baessler, political director for Oregon's American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents government workers, said Brown's leadership is better for affordable housing initiatives and public employees.
"She didn't get enough credit for it, but she had a litany of great accomplishments," Baessler said, noting that he hoped to see strong progressive policies in Brown's next term. "We have agencies that are barely able to accomplish the tasks they're mandated to because they don't have the resources."
Brown appeared ready to get started on her next term during her victory speech. She said as much as she was flanked by two dozen schoolchildren and her husband.
"Make no mistake. The fight isn't over. We've still got lots of work to do," she said. "We've never had someone so divisive in the White House or someone with such less respect for the truth or for the people impacted by his decisions."
In the weeks up to the election, Brown has outlined several directions she would take her second term — hoping to bolster education, combat climate change, reduce homelessness and more — and she may just have four years to do it.
Brown, who started her career in 1991 and has run for office eight times, said she does not plan to run again in 2022. She said she wants to spend more time with her husband, Dan Little, and do things that make her happy.
Governing will remain her focus until then. She aims to increase funding for initiatives to bring about more affordable housing and tamp homelessness.
"Every Oregonian deserves access to a warm, safe, dry, affordable and accessible place to call home," she said before election night.
On climate change, Brown said Oregon needs to become a global leader to reduce carbon emissions. The issue has become more important as the Trump administration has cut back environmental regulations. She pointed to rising drought conditions and wildfires.
"Oregon has to step up — states have to step up — when you have a federal administration that is literally ignoring this problem and ignoring science and ignoring realities of what's happening on the ground," she said.
On health care, Brown said her goal is to get 99 percent of Oregon insured.
And, after the performance of Oregon's public schools became a hotspot late in the campaign, Brown said she hopes to reinforce education and career training in the state.
Brown specifically highlighted she has spent a lot of time with Colt Gill, director of the state Department of Education, and she plans to keep meeting with district superintendents throughout the state. She wants to understand and replicate successes in the state, like in Eagle Point, where she said schools lowered absenteeism and raised graduation rates.
When asked about legacy policy, Brown pointed to Future Ready Oregon and other programs that offer jobs training and technical skills.
"That means closing the skills gap between workforce that we have and the workforce that we need to fuel the economy of Oregon's future," she said.
Brown plans to tackle these goals with a team that resembles the team now. She told the Oregon Capital Bureau in an interview that she does not plan to shuffle staff, although it is common for people to leave after an election cycle. Chief of Staff Nik Blosser, who came on in January 2017, will remain.
On her upcoming budget, to be released in December, Brown wouldn't disclose much. She said this budget will be easier to balance than last, when the state faced a deficit creeping toward $2 billion. This time around, she said, it's a manageable $800 million, fully due to funding the Oregon Health Plan.
'On the shoulders of giants'
During her victory speech, Brown gave special thanks to former governors Ted Kulongoski and Barbara Roberts.
"I'd like to say I'm standing on the shoulders of giants," she said.
Roberts, who was Oregon's first female governor, said she has been impressed with Brown's time as governor. Brown said she did not have months to craft a budget or legislative agenda in her first term, rather inheriting one from Kitzhaber.
"It was very complex, very complicated, very demanding," Roberts said.
Brown acknowledged she has a starkly different demeanor than Kitzhaber, who was known for a forceful style of leadership.
"I'm not a podium-pounder. That's just not who I am," she said. "I think public policy, that is built from the ground-up and not the top-down, is much more effective. It's much more resilient, it's much more respectful, it is much more reflective of our communities."
When asked about her first term, Brown pointed to legislation such as motor voter, the Coal to Clean energy policy and women's health care that is being used as a model in states around the country, she said. And her collaborative approach led to the passage of the largest transportation bill in state history.
Roberts said Brown has accomplished a lot, despite what some choose to see.
"People look at her and see this physically small woman, but her mind is not small," Roberts said. "She is very bright."
And while she doesn't plan to slam her fist on a table until the Legislature passes her agenda, Brown said she has learned in her first three years about what it takes to be an effective governor.
Through it all, Brown said she has leaned on the advice of Roberts and Kulongoski. When she leaves Mahonia Hall for good, Brown said she would try to be a similar well of sage wisdom, especially for women politicians.
"They have given me really solid advice, and really helped me keep my chin up in what has been a really tough campaign cycle," she said. "I hope I can provide that to folks in the future, if future elected leaders in Oregon are interested in my advice."

What ARE Traditional Values, Anyway?
I propose to provide an itemization of what is meant by "traditional values' that is neutral to religion, agnostic to politics, and nonetheless faithful to the culture that, by being scolded and ridiculed when not forcibly obliterated, testifies always to the robustness of its effects and the resilience of its pedigree.
First, Let's Dispel the Prohibition on Such Questions
Tradition, in this context, gets short shrift, but mainly from people who don't know what it is. Modernists dismiss it cynically as superficial or hypocritical. Traditionalists misrepresent it as including pet biases, political preferences, and religious peculiarities. What is dismissed necessarily exists, and what is misunderstood has at least at one time been understood. So what is meant by traditional values?
The meaning of work is something we can all learn and know.
Before the list: we should point out the modernist will circumvent the question by asking "whose tradition? whose culture?" We recognize this as a failure to distinguish 'traditions' from 'tradition' and 'cultures' from 'culture'. Let's say for the moment that our placeholder is "Western Tradition" or "American Tradition" just to provide ammunition to such a challenge. We can afford to indulge the misunderstanding because, when these questions are addressed to long-standing, established bodies of identifiable thought, they're reasonable, and can be answered. We shall shortly do so.
When they are merely rhetorical attempts to suggest that there do not exist such generally unified bodies of thought, but all are susceptible to nihilistic deconstruction ad infinitum, it's merely a form of begging the question, and we can dismiss the dismissal. It's true that heterogeneities exist within the homogenous, but it's also true that a constellation of minority attitudes indicates the presence of a majority one. In the same way, divergent reactions underscore an original action just as exceptions prove a rule.
Next: The List — What Are Traditional Values?
Know your duty, and do your duty.
Keep your word and don't lie. Your yes is yes, no is no. Your word counts.
Don't cheat or expect something for nothing. Deal fairly.
Don't steal or take more than your share. Pay what you owe.
Be aware of other people; it's the basis of courtesy.
Courtesy and respect for elders are the default positions.
Pick up after yourself, and respect others' space and property.
Keep others' confidences and respect their privacy.
Don't add to others' burdens or intentionally inconvenience them.
Exercise discretion. Don't slander and don't gossip.
Be sincere. Don't be proud or put on airs.
Honor another person's loved ones and family.
Do right by those who depend on you.
Defend and protect those at disadvantage or weaker than yourself.
Keep your speech and your heart clean and civil.
Be moderate in all indulgences of body, senses, or mind.
Don't shirk or flinch from hard work, and pay an honest wage.
Learn your whole life and respect scholarship in others.
Do your civic duty and fulfill community obligations.
Participate in the defense of your home when called upon to serve.
Learn honor and integrity. It's all these things.
If you fail, morally or otherwise, resolve to do better.
The list isn't meant to be flawlessly stated or comprehensive. Instead, it provides a reasonable approximation of the basic expectations of previous generations for a standard of public and private behavior that ensures a workable society of livable communities of responsible individuals.
Briefly: Let's Repel the Simplest Flack
The hypocrisy argument: "But people who espoused these standards, frequently didn't adhere to them." Agreed. A sports team values winning, but doesn't always do it. They try, you say? Yes. So the argument is reduced to "not everyone tries". Again, agreed. And when people don't even try to uphold these values, they don't hold the values. It's not about failure to adhere, it's about not committing to them in the first place. And when that's the case, the general reaction of those who do is sorrow or disgust. In other words, the exceptions prove the rule. Albeit, when someone holds many or most of the values excepting one or two, the tradition is still upheld, but the understanding of the individual is incomplete.
The ambiguity argument: "There's no clear definition of vague terms like honor, dignity, and respect." Love is vague concept too, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that people are never aware of when they're receiving or experiencing it. So unless you're arguing that nothing ambiguous exists, you're left with YOU personally don't understand some ambiguous things. Agreed. I don't understand "being cool", which I likewise find nebulous. I don't have enough cool to grasp what is meant by "cool". But because the term 'faith' is ambiguous to someone who doesn't have it, that does not mean it's equally vague for someone who does. Those who acquire honor recognize it in others and cherish it in themselves, whether or not they can define it for the skeptic who does neither. Simply put, empirical (or experiential) knowledge is not dependent on the precision of words.
The ad hominem: "Who are you to say?" 1) I'm an observer, 2) who was trained in these values, 3) who tries to adhere to them, 4) who has lived in multiple, varied communities in which they are openly advocated and reinforced. In short, it's not me saying it—it's me hearing it everywhere I have gone. But if I get hit by a truck, by your logic, none of that matters. To be consistent, if you get hit by a truck, your question doesn't matter. When you're using the ad hominem, you're deflecting from the point, and I would simply take you back to the list itself and ask if dismissing the person is the best you can do.
"Slander not." (Babylonian. Hymn to Samas.)
Guilt by association: "These all sound quasi-religious." Of course they do. You find ALL of these principles in the most engaging (i.e. widely adopted) religions on the planet. C.S. Lewis called this universal agreement "the tao" — a term from a rather tedious Eastern philosophy, adapted to better use. If you think religions are invented, then fine—we tend to codify these principles in our faiths because we think they are just and ensure the continuity of our species. If you think religions are revealed, then you acknowledge a just 'revealer' who actually cares that we continue as a species. Either way, evolutionary necessity or divine charity, we would expect a body of values that, whether or not perfectly honored, are perfectly honed to tend to an ethical and harmonious society, would make frequent appearance in temples of every kind.
The obsolescence argument: "These are old-fashioned, don't account for today's context, and we probably need new values." This assumes all traditions are merely cultural. Times do change, but human nature does not. To the degree that these values address the fundamental options within that nature, they are timeless. We may prefer different semantics—"civility" vs. "respect", "respect" vs. "honor", "equitable" vs. "just", but we cannot call, for example, for a political theatre informed by the basic expectations of a high-functioning society, transparent policies, and fair-dealing individuals by pretending there's no reference in history for what we mean. We can't have it both ways. It's precisely because these things ARE universal, and do have demonstrable effects, that we do know what we mean and can reasonably clamor for what we want and need. Presumed reinvention of the wheel is just posturing.
Closing Thoughts and a Definition
I've mainly wanted to document, as a point of reference, what is meant by "traditional values"—partly to clarify my own thinking and largely because the rhetoric around 'values' by presumed adherents and skeptics alike is so fraught. When someone argues we can't have traditional values while having gays and immigrants live among us, they're demonstrating either confusion or an ignorance of those values, as though they are synonymous with whatever is merely familiar or common to a person or community. Alternately, they're engaged in an unprinicipled hijacking of the concept for ideological and rhetorical misapplication. We'll assume confusion or ignorance out of charity. When someone scorns or dismisses traditional values as unnecessary or indefinable they are demonstrating the same thing. In short, both are incorrect, and there is actually consensus about what the values are.
The best evidence of that consensus is that they are those things on which conservative and liberal, Christian and atheist, once agreed. They are those things we rightly miss and now in various forms either broadly ask in the face of injustice, hate, and violence or illicitly dismiss in order to perpetrate it. If we know what justice is, about which likewise there is more agreement than lack thereof, then we can know what traditional values are.
"The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of imagining a new primary colour." — The Abolition of Man
On the notion of objectivity of these values, one must acknowledge that by using the term "universal" we are saying that tradition is not, in fact, created by man but is there within his nature to be found. For anyone wishing to pursue that classical idea, I cannot offer a better set of arguments than those made by C.S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man which is too short a book to excuse not reading it and is in fact a fascinating series of three evening lectures (Riddell Memorial Lectures) at Kings College, Newcastle, University of Durham on February 24-26, 1943. It remains the modern gold standard of succinctly making the case that traditional values can be objectively learned.
And there at last you have a succinct, if roughly approximate definition of "traditional values" as those values common to all traditions that have thrived as man has thrived, which values being drawn from a shared understanding of the operation of man's nature, favor those operations that tend to man's harmonious and just existence. They are timeless, exist beyond the capacity for invention. Being discovered by man, they are thus synonymous with human wisdom, and when exemplified by man are identical with human goodness. Philosophically, they are the positive exercise of man's freedom.

Shopworker Lorraine pulls knife on armed robber and chases him out of her store and up a Devon street
"I was calling him 'Scouse this' and 'Scouse that' - all the names under the sun."
Paul Greaves
A robber wearing a balaclava and brandishing a knife was forced to flee in fear - when a defiant shop worker in Devon pulled out a knife of her own and chased him out out of her store.
Lorraine McCalliskey turned the tables on the armed masked raider when he waved a knife at her and ordered her to open the till and put the money into his bag.
Instead of complying, Lorraine whipped out a knife of her own and shouted: "Come on then, let's have a go if you want to have a go," reports Devon Live.
The man jumped out of her way in shock - and Lorraine chased him out of the shop and up the street as he ran through Tiverton.
Feisty Lorraine, 36, returned to work unscathed after the incident and her actions meant the robber left empty handed.
Police are still hunting the man and have appealed for information.
The drama unfolded just as Lorraine, who was alone at the time, was preparing to close up The Mini Market in West Exe, Tiverton, at 10pm on November 8.
The man strode into the shop – covered head to toe in black with only his eyes visible.
Lorraine said she initially thought he was just cold.
"I thought there must be a cutting wind tonight," she added.
"I was in the back of the shop and saw him on the security camera. I thought either he's really cold because he's wearing so many clothes and a scarf or he's here to rob me.
"I waited a few seconds and he seemed to be waiting patiently and not stealing chewing gum or anything so I thought to myself 'Come on, stop thinking bad of people' and went to serve him.
"I shouted 'On my way', and as soon as I came through into the shop that's when I immediately saw the knife."
She describes the blade he was carrying as a large steak knife. The man used it to direct Lorraine to the counter with the words 'Open up the till and put the money into my bag'.
"It was quite surreal," says Lorraine.
"If he put his arm out with the knife he was close enough to have stabbed me. He was using it to gesture.
"I always thought this would happen one day and I was thinking 'this is happening now'.
"I thought 'Do I have time to get my knife out?'
"I went to the till and under the till is where we have a small packing knife for stationery. I pulled it out and said 'Come on then, let's have a go if you want to have a go'.
The man was so shocked by her boldness that he physically jumped back out of Lorraine's way.
A few moments later he was running.
Lorraine said: "He had his knife downwards but I had mine right in front of me.
"I thought later that I could have grabbed a bottle of wine from the shelf and whacked him over the head.
"For a moment I thought, 'Shall I give him the money?' Then I thought 'No, I'm not going to give him the money I'm going to get a knife. I suppose it was the adrenalin kicking in.
"When I said 'let's have a go', he jumped back.
"Then I shouted at the top of my voice 'Sheila, Sheila,' who is the woman upstairs. When he realised someone else might be here he left.
"I followed him out. He was running down Wellbrook Street and I was calling him 'Scouse this and Scouse that, all the names under the sun.
"This alerted two women who were walking past the funeral parlour and I told them I'd nearly been robbed."
Lorraine does not think her actions were reckless and says she would do the same thing again.
"I felt absolutely fine afterwards. The police told me later to get myself a stiff drink and calm down but I thought I was calm.
"We had the best result in that I was not harmed and he didn't get any money."
Shop owner, Alizon Martin, praised Lorraine's bravery.
She says the only description of the man is that he had a Liverpool accent.
"He must have thought that the till would be full just before closing. My history with the shop goes back almost 30 years and I've never experienced anything like this.
"He was wearing a balaclava and possibly with a hood up. Lorraine was incredibly brave."
Anyone with information should call police on 101 quoting CR/97740/17.

To BBQ or not to BBQ… That is the question?
I have decided that change of seasons means changing up my menu plan, and I am not so good at doing that… After a long hard winter of cooking casseroles and hardy soups, it's time to crack out that BBQ, throw together salads and think about side dishes for your burgers… Easy, peasy you would think, not for me though, I struggle with change in any situation, but thinking about cooking is even more difficult, my mind goes completely blank!
Pathetic really, but my mind is totally blank to what we normally cook when Spring arrives!
Of course breastfeeding a newborn restricts my choices, no tomatoes or onions, in fact absolutely no gas producing veggies at all, so that rules out favorites like kale and broccoli, not that my children are too upset about those being on the menu, but I am missing them!
My reduced dairy diet has been good for me, I had a non fat milk drink in Starbucks yesterday and it seemed to have had no affect on Tate, but I think for me a low dairy intake diet seems to have improved my digestive system, so this will be something that I will keep ongoing, I'm not saying no dairy just reducing my intake, hopefully this will keep the IBS at bay!
Now to try the gluten reduced diet, one diet at a time to see what helps me feel better! I have kind of reduced my gluten intake anyway… I always buy Trader Joes gluten free oatmeal and pasta now, of course things like rice and quinoa are naturally gluten free, but this week I actually looked for gluten free foods, cereals and flours, I was very surprised how easy it was to find lots of dairy and gluten free foods and how well they were priced!
After spending the afternoon cleaning the BBQ, of course when I say this I do mean Paul spent the afternoon cleaning our BBQ, it was time to light it up and cook the first outdoor grilled meal of the year… Yay, Spring is here! The weather was beautiful yesterday, 70f, sunny and just purely wonderful after a very long and very cold winter… Of course I did not get any photos as I had to take a nap, feeling very tired with waking every two hours throughout the night, but I did wake up just as the food was finished cooking!
I am wondering how I am meant to be resting up at 32 weeks pregnant with 35 minute drives twice weekly for iron infusions, Ultrasound appointments and two weekly OBGYN appointments… I'm doctored out right now, Florrie is fed up of being in the car and I'm really fed up of not being able to wear my normal warm clothing for this time of the year… Moan over!
Everyone says I look a lot better from the iron infusions, thankfully, but I'm still waiting for this magic drug to burst into the much needed energy I need to finish the projects I wanted to complete before this little man arrives, on the plus side I think all this iron is giving this baby super strength, he is a real wriggler and loves head butting my rib cage (he is breach at the moment) and kicking my bladder… All the fun moments of pregnancy… Ha, ha!
I am in love with the Baby Gap at the moment, the baby bargains have been in abundance this January, I think I have managed to get a whole newborn baby boy wardrobe for less than $100, he has long sleeve and short sleeve vests and cute little onesies, I love newborn babies in nighties, boy or girl they look so cute, so I have a few nighties too! I have very cute long johns in a variety of colors and I have my Mum and a close friend on knitting duty, cute little cardigans as I am sure the weather will be chilly and I love newborn hand knitted sweaters… All in all he will be the best dressed March newborn baby boy!
Of course I cannot forget my little Florrie's spring closet, so I have been picking up a few bargains for her too, I love the Target Osh Kosh girls clothes… They recently had a very Cath Kidston raincoat and boots in there, of course a must for every toddler girls Spring wardrobe, they also have just reduced a few Osh Kosh items by 30%, so I got her a little spring jacket and red spotty dress… With Spring clothes appearing in the shops now, I just cannot wait for the warmer weather to arrive!
I have a small list of need to get items before the birth, but I'm very pleased with my bargain baby buys so far, we got 20% off the stroller! a super cheap managers clearance on our Chicco car seat $60 from $199, lots of clearance items from the Baby Gap, we already have the crib, it just needs converting from a baby girl to a cute boy crib! On my list still to get are little socks, some swaddle blankets, a head comforter for the car seat and a small nesting bassinet that can be used in the crib and our bed if needed… Not too many things left to get, so I am happy!
Wish me luck, I will let you know how it works and report back here with my findings!
Just a few free pattern ideas for all you crafters out there… These are the ones I am loving!
crochet moose beanie… very cute?
crochet striped beanie… various sizes!
crib sheets… they look easy peasy!
The best broccoli and cauliflower cheese… Jamie Oliver style… thanks to friend sending me the link!
Of course the Super Bowl would not be complete without chips and Queso… skinny style!
Happy first weekend in February… Hopefully this means the temperatures will get a little bit warmer, and we will see the grass again soon!
Yay for March… Lets hope Spring is truly on it's way now! Here in New Jersey the sun is shining, today, friday march 1st, temperatures are meant to be slightly into the 40's, which I know is not high, but hey it's not freezing, so I will take it and the snow is still lingering in large dirty piles in a few places, but at least we have a kind of strawy looking grass again!
Take any sausage you would like, I used polish kielbasa last night, but anything works great, slice into 1/2 inch rounds and sauté in a little olive oil with one chopped onion, after 10 minutes add whatever vegetables you would like, I used chopped broccoli and cabbage, 2 chopped cloves of garlic, a teaspoon on red chili flakes, a jar of tomato pasta sauce, 1 teaspoon of boullion, 1/4 cup of water and one can of baked beans bring to the boil, cover reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes whilst you make your pasta. Once the pasta is cooked add your sausage, vegetable mix and coat evenly, serve with garlic bread or a green salad… Very basic, but very delicious!
My shout out recipe of last week was the dumpling soup recipe from the food network not only was this recipe quick and easy, but it tasted delicious too, I used bacon instead of ham, which I think enhanced the flavor, and I also added a few wide ribbon noodles too… Try it, it was delicious… So good it's on my menu plan for this week!
Today my friends daughter who I have known since she was 4 years old is getting married, she is a few months older than Dominic, we spent so many school holidays out and about with them I lost count, I have watched her blossom from childhood into her teenage years and now beyond… I cannot believe that she is old enough to get married, but she is… I hope she has a wonderful day and I am very sad I could not be there, sometimes the miles between us make a huge difference and sometimes they really don't… Today is one of those days I wish I could still live in the same town and be there to watch her marry the boy of her dreams!


Once again I've been contemplating this idea for 2 weeks and leaving it to the last minute to execute!
I have been using the felt pen watercolour idea as backgrounds in work I do with kids at school and knew it would be a good basis for this page. I actually sprayed it with fixative before I did anything else on top.
I was happy with the idea of the trees, using the doily as a stencil, but then wasn't too happy with them so pushed them right into the background. I must admit, on the video they didn't look so bad.
I was brave and had my first attempt at writing the title on the page with my Tombow marker - then smudged it when adding another flower while filling the space where the trees were. Not minding my own handwriting so much on my work, except that it seems to be different for every verse!
Fabulous page and your handwriting is just lovely - I'd be writing on everything if mine looked like that!
I love the way you made the background and I've made a note of it to use in the future. A super page and there is nothing wrong with your handwriting.
Thanks for your comments Maggie. Trying to formulate ideas for the next song now. Winter here so having to look back at my Summer holiday - was Christmas camping for me.

Greeley Estates was an American metalcore band from Maricopa County, Arizona. Formed in 2002, the band released five full-length studio albums and four EPs. The group initially had an emo-influenced post-hardcore sound, but later shifted to the metalcore genre with their third studio album Go West Young Man, Let the Evil Go East (2008).
Greeley Estates signed to Tragic Hero Records and Ferret Music in 2009 and released their fourth full-length album No Rain, No Rainbow in 2010, which features an even heavier sound. The band released their fifth and most recent full-length The Death of Greeley Estates on August 9, 2011 (not to be confused with their 2005 DVD of the same name), to which its sound was cited by vocalist Ryan Zimmerman as a hybrid between their previous two albums. Greeley Estates has gone through numerous line-up changes since its formation, with Zimmerman being the only remaining founding member after Hackenson's departure in 2014.
The band announced their final show and breakup via social media on 3 December 2018.

Formation and early years (2002—2005)[edit]
Greeley Estates was formed by Ryan Zimmerman, Brandon Hackenson, Dallas Smith, Jared Wallace and Mike Coburn. The band name is derived from a sign in Greeley, Colorado that read "Greeley Estates" that Zimmerman and Hackenson saw on the way from Chicago to Phoenix. Mike Coburn left the band shortly before they started touring at the end of 2003. After a few substitute drummers, Brian Champ soon became the main drummer for Greeley Estates. They went through a few bass players who all left before they began touring the US. Jared Wallace was then replaced by Josh Applebach. They released their debut album Outside of This in 2004, a music video produced for its title track accompanied it. In 2005, Greeley Estates signed to Record Collection and released their follow-up material; the Caveat Emptor EP.
That same year, Greeley Estates had become one of PureVolume's top 10 unsigned artists with over a million plays—an accolade supported by having album sales in the top 10 on Smartpunk since October 2004. Their distribution record further secured them a position on the Smartpunk chart for "Sales of All Time". They played every date of the Vans Warped Tour in 2005. Also, Greeley Estates co-headlined the MySpace Fall Tour 2005. Other accomplishments at this point included extensive touring, a DVD entitled The Death of Greeley Estates released in May 2005, playing on the Taste of Chaos tour and continual play on KEDJ 103.9 alternative rock radio in Phoenix.
Far from the Lies (2006—2007)[edit]
In mid-2006, Greeley Estates recorded their second full-length album Far from the Lies and released it later in the year.
On January 31, 2007, bassist Josh Applebach announced that he would leave Greeley Estates for a teaching career in Arizona. Bradley Murray (previously with Versus the Mirror) from Tucson, Arizona became their touring bassist. His first live appearance with the band was on February 3, 2007 in Safford, Arizona.
On June 3, 2007, guitarist Dallas Smith announced that he would be leaving the band in order to start up a family and announced that his last show would be June 20, 2007 at the Clubhouse in Tempe, Arizona. After their Mexican tour with Silverstein, Brad Murray left the band for personal reasons.
Go West Young Man, Let the Evil Go East (2007—2008)[edit]
On September 4, 2007, Greeley Estates recorded their new album. The two new members of Greeley Estates include Alex Torres (previously with Eyes Set to Kill) and Joshua Ferguson (previously with Glory Nights) During the recording of the band's third full-length album, Go West Young Man, Let The Evil Go East, Joshua Ferguson left to complete his apprenticeship as a hair stylist in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; personal reasons seem to be why he left.
Greeley Estates had announced Tyler Smith as their new bassist, who was formerly of In Fear and Faith. Smith played his first show with the band on February 9, 2008, at the Clubhouse in Tempe, Arizona, Smith as well played on Go West Young Man, Let the Evil Go East on all tracks where Ferguson did not. In the same year, Greeley Estates had a track, entitled "Let The Evil Go East", on the Warped Tour 2008 compilation.
Go West Young Man, Let The Evil Go East was released May 6, 2008. For the track "Blue Morning" on this album, Greeley Estates hired music video director Daniel Chesnut to create a "high energy, intense video" to match the band's new persona and differed sound.
On November 14, 2008, Greeley Estates announced that Smith, found within the course of the same year, had left the band to join The Word Alive.[1]
No Rain, No Rainbow (2009—2010)[edit]
A song from the fourth album, entitled "Seven Hours" along with "Jealousy Breeds Killing Sprees", which features guest vocals Craig Mabbitt from Escape the Fate, were streamed online during November 2009. Another new song from album No Rain, No Rainbow entitled "Friends Are Friends for Never" was also streamed online.
As of June 12, 2010, guitarist Alex Torres announced his departure from the band via MySpace. In the blog, he stated; "Im not exactly sure how to say this, but as of a month ago, I let the guys know that I would be leaving the band.. and the "Oh, Sleeper" tour would be my last tour in Greeley Estates... To clear things up early, NO there is NO bad blood, and everyone is on good terms. Greeley has been my family since 2007, and that will NOT change."
Greeley Estates has been touring around the world, headlining many of these tours with bands including Vanna, Tides of Man, A Bullet For Pretty Boy and The Crimson Armada.
Greeley Estates began work on their fifth studio album in 2010, originally expecting for an April or May release date.[2]
The Death of Greeley Estates (2011)[edit]
When asked of the band's fifth full-length album before its release, Zimmerman told AMP, "We're thinking of kind of combining the last two records, Go West and No Rain, to kind of bring back some singing and have a little bit of melody but still have the heavy. I'm not sure yet on the lyrical direction."[3]
The fifth album was aimed for a summer release (which it met with an August release date), with producer Cory Spotts, who also produced the band's very first album Outside of This in 2004.[4] The name of the album was revealed to be The Death of Greeley Estates.
On June 1, 2011 the first single to the new album was released on the band's Facebook page, titled "The Last Dance". On June 7, another song from the record was leaked, titled "Friendly Neighborhood Visit" through Alternative Press.[5]
The Narrow Road/Devil Son (2012-2013)[edit]
Greeley Estates explained that the album they intend to release this fall will in fact come in two parts, each with seven songs: The Narrow Road, on November 20, 2012, and Devil Son, on April 9, 2013. They are releasing both albums entirely independently without a record label. They released a single, "Lot Lizards," from The Narrow Road on October 25.[6] On October 30 they released another new song from The Narrow Road online for one day only called, "Die."

Calling All the Hopeless and Breakup (2016-2018)[edit]
