GOPhers In Haiku: No Respect For The President
2009-09-10 05:08:00 Yes, he's a Sox fanBut Barack deserves respectNot GOPher hecklingI know this is a sports blog, and I might regret raising a political issue here, but what happened during President Obama's health care speech to Congress tonight was absolutely shameful. ChicagoNow asked all of us to write something about the Oprah shutdown of Michigan Avenue, which should have embarrassed all Chicagoans. I'm sure they won't mind a short rant about the Obama heckling, which should have embarrassed all Americans. In case you missed it ... when Obama stated the simple fact that his health care proposal would not cover illegal aliens, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted "You lie!" It's also been reported that Karl Rove thought Wilson's comment was hilarious. ...

You Have to Respect Obama's Loyalty to the Sox
2009-07-18 14:36:00 Nearly every politician you come across is a front runner who says what he or she thinks everyone wants to hear when it comes to what team they cheer for. Except for Barack Obama who is absolutely 100% behind his team, the Chicago White Sox.Obama threw out the first pitch at last Tuesday's All Star Game and despite being asked by executives from Major League Baseball to wear a generic MLB all star jacket he chose to wear his White Sox jacket. MLB officials were reportedly not that pleased that he was showing his favoritism to the Sox on such a grand stage but Obama insisted and for that you have to respect his honesty. I spent some time with...
Dignity and respect
2009-07-08 01:12:00 Now, some of you will think, after having read this post, that I am an old and sourpussyish man. Which of course I am not. Also, I always claim that I am "young" and have a "modern mind". Which many, and in particular my daughter, will testify. I do much of "free" thinking and am not really good at "conventional" behaviour. But I believe in dignity and respect.The picture of this young lady in a mini short is not to "scream" againt such outfits. On the contrary. It looks cute. But it would not make me run after such ladies. For the simple reason that I am to old to run after them and they would run much quicker than me anyway. And in our countries, such dressing and outfit is common, in summer, also. In our countries!A few days ago, Qatar Airways flew me to the Arabian Peninsula. Where we have uptight contries like Saudi Arabia. But also other places that accomodate to Westerners like Doha, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In the transit area of Dubai Airport there is even an "Irish Pub". Where...

Respect For Water Inspires Abisko Waterfall Basin Design

Ironically perhaps, there is no basin in the Abrisko washbasin.

America's #1 Companion Gets Respect The CATalyst 2009 Top 10 Cat-Friendly C
2009-03-30 16:42:00 PHOENIX, American Animal Hospital Association Conference What makes a cat-friendly city? The love and care cats receive, says the CATalyst Council. Today, the recently formed organization is set to raise the stature of America's number one companion, the cat, by announcing the CATalyst 2009 Top 10 Cat-Friendly Cities. "Cats are the most popular pets in the United States, and yet the frequency of veterinary visits for cats is less than that for dogs. That's why I'm such a big supporter of the CATalyst Council and its important work. It's important for every pet, including cats, to see their veterinarian regularly. Ensuring your cat's health through regular veterinary visits is of upmost importance," explains Dr. Jim Cook, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. "By identifying the cities in America in which cats receive the best care and attention, I hope CATalyst will inspire every cat owner, nationwide, to give their pets the respect and attention they've e...

India?s Ancient Tradition of Respect For Elders Waylaid By Corrupt Elites
2009-01-20 00:25:00 India has an extraordinary respect for elders. When undistorted by other historic sociological factors, this is an admirable and powerfully cohesive social force. But in the areas of wealth and power it has also often become, over centuries, and in many ways, distorted into an oppression that renders India a land of both concealed and gaping wounds.

A New Found Respect For Scott Boras...
2008-12-18 21:42:00 While the national media and the 24-hour sports networks (ok, ESPN) have pretty much all but figured that Mark Teixeira will be headed to Boston to get a ring or two or three, one has to give credit to his super-agent, Scott Boras.Right now within this saga, it is safe to assume that no one, and I mean no one aside from the player, Boras and the principals in the story know what's going on. I guess I have a much greater appreciation of the super agent in his ability to use the media to keep this story alive and to help his client.As a fan, I revile him because the contracts that he gets for his clients hve completely driven the price of seeing a game and obviously has made the MLB Players Union very, very happy.I wonder how an agent could have such a large stable of players and yet get anything done for them. The man is good at what he does -- mastering the art of the deal for his clients -- and also bringing untold millions into his firm.I also don't care for his negotiating tact...

How I can respect certain Obama supporters
2008-10-28 12:00:00 In a recent defense of Sarah Palin, I quoted an Obama supporter who, like many with whom I’ve spoken, couldn’t identify any of his candidate’s accomplishments (nor define any of his policy positions). He supported the Democrat because of his abilities to inspire and unite. In the comments section, a reader wrote “So, you’re using one ignorant supporter’s lack of knowledge about his candidate to support the view that there is no reason to actually support the candidate.“ While I am amazed at the number of Obama supporters who have no clue what their man stands for beyond “hope” and “change,” I do know that many have solid reasons for backing the Illinois Senator. Indeed, I’ve been having a regular e-mail exchange with one such woman, a smart and well-read Democrat from my synagogue. While she and I both have great respect for our rabbi and our faith, we have little in common politically. She believes the market m...

I even respect journalists.- Alexander PopovGoodwill is earned by many acts; it can be lost by one.- Duncan StuartWhen people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet deep down in his private heart no man much respects himself.- Mark TwainOften nowadays we hear a question posed that is not really a question. It is an oblique assertion of what the ostensible questioner considers a self-evident truth. The question is: Should we not all respect and honor one's differences? The gravamen of the "question" invariably is that differences of race, ethnicity and sexuality all should be "respected" and "honored." I disagree. Why should respect and honor accrue to accidents of birth? Given that they are accidents, what, precisely, is there to honor? Surely, respect is owed to, and honor should flow to _individuals_, for their attainments of intellectual or m...

God Deserves Respect
2008-06-10 04:09:00 Have you ever watched a little girl playing tea party with her dolls? It is cute to watch. She pretends that the dolls are real people. She pretends she has actual tea to serve them. She even carries on pretend conversations. She is relaxed and stress-free because she doesn't have to think about what to say. She doesn't have to choose her words carefully so as not to offend her guests. She doesn't have to wonder if the bathroom is staying clean for her guests. She doesn't have to be getting up and down for more warm water for tea. She is having all the fun of a real tea party without any of the work.When you approach God, are you hosting a pretend tea party? Are you approaching Him as you would another person or as you would a doll?Psalms 9 says, "For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast."

Shia says that Jeffrey can't stay inside because they tend to fight. I love him, but we have similar tastes. Living in close proximity, we get into little battles.

A Night on the Town Ends with Respect
2008-05-29 21:01:00 I went down to Water Street with my cousin last night, and we made our way to a few popular spots. At our last stop I ran into an old friend who I used to play basketball with during our younger days. My friend has recently returned from a 14 month tour in Iraq. Now, granted, there is much we don't agree on politically. However, we were able to sit down and have a wonderful conversation on topics all across the spectrum. He was interested in the time I spent in Thailand; I was interested in the time he spent in Iraq. We shared stories and, by the end of the night, exchanged numbers. And when we shook hands to go our separate ways, I felt an overwhelming sense of respect for my friend.This is why--in the end--America is the greatest country in the world: friends (and enemies) can engage in discussions and debates on any topic under the sun.I am glad when those discussions can be respectfully meaningful, and I look forward to seeing my friend again soon.

6 Ways to Get Respect Quickly, Despite Your Youth by Chuck Westbrook
2008-05-29 13:24:00 Chuck Westbrook has a great post on Employee Evolution back from August 6 (but is still relevant) on how Gen Y’s can get respect in the workplace, despite their youth. I had an interview last month with Jacci Schiff, and we were talking about this very point. We discussed how many Gen Y’s just simply may not know about these career skills. As a Baby Boomer, I believe it’s important for us to talk to our kids and students about doube checking our typos, showing up on time, how to listen, how to ask great questions and how to be a leader. Another skill that many Gen Y’s are saying is missing is face to face time, especially face to face networking. Human connection happens through dialogue, through a smile and through telling stories which build common ground. Let’s all take the time to work on these skills that Chuck mentions. We can all use a refresher course. Great post Chuck!

Giving oak the respect it deserves
2008-05-26 03:33:00 Did you know that there are about 400 species of oak, of which only about 20 are used in making oak barrels? Of the trees that are used, only 5% is suitable for making high grade wine barrels. And the average age of a French oak tree harvested for use in wine barrels is 170 years! Oak barrels, which may be charred before use (as shown in the picture), contribute to the color, taste and aroma, of the contents.

With All Due Respect
2008-05-16 12:47:00 For those who don?t know a lot about the mountains or about large mountains in particular, I should preface this by say that skiers and hikers give a certain respect to mountains that can?t easily be explained. Both of us play on them and enjoy their boundaries and yet both of us know that a mountain is a living, breathing entity that like any other force of nature; controls us and not the converse. It is perhaps a misunderstanding of this that leads some to meet with dire consequences on the mountain, but not for me. If I were to get injured or die in the mountains, it would not be for lack of respect given to the mountains, but for some other reason altogether. I understand who?s in charge when I?m up there and that is at the front of my mind whether I?m gliding down well-groomed slopes on the trails of a ski resort, hiking the Appalachian Trail, or skiing the backcountry of New England.

SOHH Dirty: Respect My Opinion! Now Whats Yours!
2008-05-15 12:20:00 Its a dirty dirty world that we live in. Everybody in this rap game that claims to be a thug, gangsta, d-boy, and such. You hear them all the time trying to refer to themselves as "like Pac" . Or in their first interviews coming into the game they talkin bout, you know ( i love it when they say u know 80 times) i represent that real sh*t, that Pac sh*t, or they want you to have the same admiration for them like we have for Pac, or they feel like because they got shot a couple times, all of a sudden they as real as Pac. And i respect their "feelings". |
