Something MereCat said in response to my sign language post has really stuck with me for the last couple of days.
My kids will know some French and they will know some of a lot of other things. I'm going for well-rounded here.
I think I agree with the idea that knowing "some of a lot of other things" is good. But in looking back at my own life I really worry about finding the right combination of focus and breadth for Erin. She's bound to find her own balance, but if she is too much like her father then she won't find it until she is an adult.
Actually, even then she might not find it.
You see, I'm a dilettante. I really do know some of a lot of other things. I know some French, but grew bored and didn't stick with it in high school. I fence, but sporadically. I ride my bike, again sporadically. I had to get two BA's because I couldn't stand the idea of using all of my classes for a single major. I bounce from minor-obsession to minor-obsession, hobby to hobby, job to job, and place to place. I win at trivia games, because I know a lot of trivial things.
I may be well-rounded, but so is a superball.
I'll let the historian side of me take over for a second (one of my two BA's): back in the olden days, kids were shackled to a livelihood very early on, and apprenticeships, if they could be found, lasted for years from before puberty to long after. Broader, liberal education was a luxury (for the rich) or a necessity (for the clergy), and was nowhere to be found for anyone else.
Now, here comes the philosopher: Few would argue, I think, that we ought to end formal public liberal education early and send kids off to apprentice somewhere. We like the cuddly idea of letting our children grow up and then decide what they want to do. That order is pretty significant, I think, since it dictates how kids are educated: they are taught about as many different subjects as possible early on, continue to fill breadth requirements in college if they continue their education, and it isn't even really until graduate school that education becomes almost singularly focused instead of general.
We are preparing our kids for the World, we say; the world is huge, and so too must their knowledge base be. As I typed that sentence I reflected again on my own knowledge base: I'm smart, but clearly unfocused. I don't know how much that has to do with the program of education I've had (and shared with everyone else) and how much of it has to do with my parents just letting me hold off figuring out what I was going to do until I was old enough to make that decision on my own.
When I think about the people I know who are focused, I have the distinct intuition that these are the people who felt, figured out, or were pressured into, their callings really early on in life. The Geeks, Artists, and Athletes, who felt in their hearts what they wanted to do with their lives and who treated general education like a necessary evil rather than preparation. Because they were preparing themselves, even in high school; even younger than that: always tinkering with code, drawing and writing, outrunning everyone else.
Is their focus a result of pressure from their parents? Is it a reaction against their parents and peers? Is it part of a desire to 'show everyone' what they could do?
So, as a parent, I know I have an obligation to worry about this stuff. I get to wonder if focus or breadth is best, and if encouraging Erin in whatever she shows an early interest in ("Marine biology, guys.") will have the effect I want or the effect she needs. I get to wonder if, when I find myself in one of those "I know best" moments if I really do know best.
Do I want to raise her as a dilettante, like her old man? Is there anything wrong with that? Will it matter what I do?
I wish I were already a world renowned marine biologist, living on Nim's Island with Emily and Erin, so that she could be apprenticed to someone who was an expert in what she liked and who also had the benefit of a general, liberal education, and whose vocation was teaching. Instead, the best I can do for her in that regard is to teach her some history and philosophy early on and hope she doesn't piss off her teachers too much.
Because with me as her father, and Emily as her mother, she is going to grow up absolutely certain she is right all the time, and consider it her duty to stand up to those petty injustices students have to endure for the benefit of the group.
I guess I ought to just hope for now that she doesn't get kicked out of school. Because she needs to be in school first for me to get to worry about all the other things.
Like boys. Argh argh argh.

Listen to This Article
Listen from:
The whole circle of God's thoughts as to Israel given by Isaiah
Isaiah takes the first place; and in fact he is the most complete of all the prophets, and perhaps the most rich. The whole circle of God's thoughts with respect to Israel is more given here. Other prophets are occupied with certain portions only of the history of this people.
The moral bearing of the book
We will give here the division of this book into subjects. There is in the beginning an appearance of confusion; nevertheless it helps to explain the moral bearing of the book.
And here what a scene presents itself to our view!-sorrowful in one aspect, yet at the same time lovely and glorious, like the first glimmerings of dawn after a long and cold night of darkness, telling of the bright day which soon will rise over a scene, the beauties of which are faintly perceived, mingled with the darkness that still obscures them-a scene that shall be vivified by the sun that will soon enlighten it. One rejoices in this partial light: it tells of the goodness, the energy, and the intentions of that God who has created all things for the accomplishment of His purposes of grace and glory. But one longs for the manifestation of the fullness of this accomplishment, when all will repose in the effects of this goodness.
The two characters of prophecy
Such is prophecy. It is sorrowful, because it unveils the sin, the ungrateful folly, of God's people. But it reveals the heart of One who is unwearied in love, who loves this people, who seeks their good, although He feels their sin according to His love. It is the heart of God that speaks. These two characters of prophecy throw light upon the twofold end it has in view, and help us to understand its
bearing. First of all, it addresses itself to the actual state of the people, and shows them their sin; it always therefore supposes the people to be in a fallen condition. When they peacefully enjoy the blessings of God, there is no need of displaying their condition to them. But, in the second place, during the period in which the people are still acknowledged it speaks of present restoration on their repentance, to encourage them to return to Jehovah; and it proclaims deliverance. And in this, the law and so the blessings connected with it, have their place as that to which they should return. Of this the last prophetic word from God (Mal. 4) is an expressive instance. But God well knew the hearts of His people, and that they would not yield to His call. To sustain the faith of the remnant, faithful amid this unbelief, and for the instruction of His people at all times, He adds promises which will assuredly be fulfilled by the coming of Messiah. These promises are sometimes connected with the circumstances of a near and partial deliverance, sometimes with the consummation of the people's iniquity in the rejection of Christ come in humiliation. It is important to be able to distinguish between that part of a passage which refers to those circumstances which were near at hand, and that which speaks of full deliverance shown in perspective through those circumstances. This is the difficult part of the interpretation of prophecy.
The use of figures in prophecy
I would add that, although the subject of prophecy is not a figure, yet figures are not only largely used, but they are often intermingled with literal expressions; so that in explaining the prophetic books one cannot make an exact rule to distinguish between figure and letter. The aid of the Holy Spirit is necessary, as is always the case in the study of the sacred Word, to find the true sense of the passage. What I have said is equally applicable to other parts of Scripture, and in the most solemn circumstances. Psalm 22, for instance, is a continual mixture of figures, which represent the moral character of certain facts, with other facts recited in the simplicity of the letter. There is no difficulty in understanding it. "Dogs have compassed me; the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me, they pierced my hands and my feet." The word
gives the character of those present. This way of speaking is found in all languages. For instance, it would be said, "He drew a
fine picture of virtue."
Drew a picture
is a figure. I say this in order that a difficulty may not be made of that which belongs to the nature of human language.
The contents and divisions of the book
I come now to the contents of this important book of prophecy. It is thus divided: The first four chapters are apart, forming a kind of introduction. The fifth also in itself stands alone. It judges the people in view of the care that God has bestowed upon them. But we shall find this judgment resumed in detail in verse 8 of chapter 9. In chapter 6 we have the judgment of the people in view of the Messiah's coming glory; consequently there is a remnant acknowledged.
Chapter 7 formally introduces the Messiah, Immanuel, the Son of David, and the judgment upon the house of David after the flesh; so that there is an assured hope in sovereign grace, but at the same time judgment upon the last human support of the people. In chapter 8 we have the desolating Assyrian who overruns the land, but also Immanuel (previously announced in chapter 7) who finally brings his schemes to nought. Meantime there is a remnant, separate from the people, and attached to this Immanuel;
and the circumstances of anguish through which the apostate people must pass are alluded to, which terminate in the full blessing flowing from Immanuel's presence. This closes with verse 7 of chapter 9; so that we have here in fact the whole history of the Jews in relationship with Christ. In verse 8 of chapter 9 the Spirit resumes the general national history from chapter 5, interrupted by this essential episode of the introduction of Immanuel. He resumes it from the time then present, pointing out the different judgments of Jehovah, until He introduces the last instrument of these judgments-the Assyrian, the rod of Jehovah. And here the immediate deliverance is presented as an encouragement to faith, and as prefiguring the final destruction of the power that will be the rod of
Jehovah in the last days. Jehovah, having smitten the desolator, presents (ch. 11) the Offspring of David, at first in His intrinsic moral character, and then in the results of His reign as to full blessing, and the presence of Jehovah established again in Zion in the midst of Israel. Thus the whole history of the people is given us in its grand features, until their establishment in blessing as the people of God, having Jehovah in their midst. Only that it is to be remarked that nothing is given of Antichrist, nor of the power of the beast, nor of the time of tribulation as such, because that is the period during which the Jews are not owned, though they be dealt with, while our prophecy speaks of the time when they are owned. It is stated in general terms that God would hide His face from the house of Jacob, and the righteous in spirit wait for Him.
(1. Note here, the two great dealings of God with the conscience to convict it of sin exemplified in these two chapters. First, the state of blessing in which God had first set the person judged, and his departure from it (so man in his innocence); and second, the meeting of the Lord in glory. Are we in a state to do so?)
(2. This is largely brought out in the Gospel of Matthew. The passage itself is quoted in Hebrews 2. What is spoken of in
Isaiah 8:13-18
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. (Isaiah 8:13‑18)
is in fact the gospel history breaking in upon the scene. Peter quotes verse 14; Paul (Rom. 9), the stumbling-stone; Matthew quotes chapter 9:1-2 for Christ's apparition in Galilee.)
From chapter 13 to the end of chapter 27 we find the judgment of the Gentiles; whether Babylon or the other nations, especially of those which were at all times in relationship with Israel; the position of Israel, not only in the midst of them, but of all the nations in the last days (this is chapter 18); and, finally, the judgment of the whole world (ch. 24), and the full millennial blessing of Israel (ch. 25-27). From chapters 28-35 we have the detail of all that happens to the Jews in the last days. Each revelation closes with a testimony to the glory of God in Israel.
In chapters 36-39 the Spirit relates the history of a part of Hezekiah's reign. It contains three principal subjects: the resurrection of the Son of David as from death; the destruction of the Assyrian, without his having been able to attack Jerusalem; and the captivity in Babylon. These are the three grand foundations of the whole history and state of the Jews in the last days.
From chapter 40 to the end is a very distinct part of the prophecy, in which God reveals the consolation of His people and their moral relations with Himself, and the double ground of His controversy with them, whether in view of the position in which He has placed the nation as His elect servant-the witness of Jehovah the one true God, in the presence of the Gentiles, and their idolatrous failure-or in respect to their rejection of Christ the only true elect Servant
who has fulfilled His will. This gives
occasion to the revelation of a remnant who hearken to this true Servant, as well as to the history of the circumstances that this remnant pass through, and therefore at the same time to that of the people's condition in the last days, ending with the manifestation of Jehovah in judgment. The position of Israel with respect to the idolatrous nations gives occasion also to the introduction of Babylon, of its destruction, and the deliverance of captive Judah by Cyrus. This idolatry is one of the subjects on which Jehovah pleads with His people. The other and yet graver subject is that of the rejection of Christ. For more detail we must wait till these chapters come under examination.
(1. This term "servant" is a kind of key to this whole prophecy: first Israel, then in chapter 49 the Lord takes Israel's place, and at the end the remnant. But of this more hereafter.)
The condition of those to whom prophecy is addressed; the use of miracles
Prophecy supposes that the people of God are in a bad condition, even when they are still acknowledged, and prophecy addressed to them. There is no need of addressing powerful testimony to a people who are walking happily in the ways of the Lord, nor of sustaining the faith of a tried remnant by hopes founded on the unchangeable faithfulness and the purposes of God, when all are enjoying in perfect peace the fruits of His present goodness-attached, as a consequence, to the faithfulness of the people. The proof of this simple and easily understood principle is found in each of the prophets. It does not appear that the prophets, whose prophecies we possess in the inspired volume, wrought any miracles.
For the law was then in force, its authority outwardly acknowledged; there was nothing to establish; and Jehovah's authority was the basis of the public system of religion in the land according to the institutions appointed by Himself in connection with the temple. It was on practical duty that the prophets insisted. In the midst of the ten apostate tribes Elijah and Elisha wrought miracles to reestablish the authority of Jehovah. Such is the faithfulness of Jehovah, and His patience towards His people. A new object of faith requires miracles. That which is founded on the already acknowledged Word, and which does not demand the
reception of it as a new object, requires none, whatever the increase of light or claim on conscience may be. The Word commends itself to the conscience in those who are taught of God; and if there are new revelations, they are to the comfort of those who have received the practical testimony, and have thus recognized the authority of one who speaks on the part of God.
(1. The dial of Ahaz in this prophet may be thought an exception, but Ahaz was really departed from God. It is also noteworthy that the apostles never wrought miracles for their own comfort. Trophimus have I left at Miletus sick. Epaphroditus "was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also.")
We will now examine the contents of the prophecy itself in a more detailed way.

When You Need Heavy-Duty Towing Services in Mc Kenzie, Tennessee
Have you ever been stuck on the side of the road due to a broken-down vehicle? If so, you know how frustrating it can be. Fortunately, there are services available that specialize in heavy-duty towing. These services are perfect for those who need to move large or heavy vehicles, such as buses, tractor-trailers, and more.
Heavy-duty towing services in Mc Kenzie, Tennessee, are equipped with the essential tools and equipment to provide trusted towing solutions, regardless of vehicle size. The tow truck will be able to safely secure a large vehicle for transport without causing further damage. These services can also provide roadside assistance and repairs if needed.
Heavy-duty towing is a specialized service that needs professional training and experience. Before you hire a towing network, it's you'll want to check out reviews from other customers. From emergency situations to scheduled maintenance, here's why you should consider using a heavy-duty towing service if your vehicle needs help.
When Your Vehicle is Too Big for a Regular Tow Truck
Heavy-duty tow trucks are designed for large vehicles and equipment. They have the power and capacity to transport vehicles up to 80,000 pounds or more with ease. If your car or truck is too big for a regular tow truck, then you will need the help of a heavy-duty tow truck. This is especially true if your vehicle needs to be towed long distances because regular tow trucks simply don't have the capacity or power necessary for such a task.
If you find yourself in an emergency situation where your vehicle needs to be towed as soon as possible, then you need the help of a professional heavy-duty towing service right away. These services are available all day and night and can provide fast response times when required most. They also have tow trucks that are equipped with specialized tools and equipment that can handle any emergency situation safely and efficiently.

This is more of a poll than anything else, but feel free to give your thoughts on the subject.
The Ryu Kyu Kobudo I practice currently has unique forms, that exist only in Kobudo.
I've always been taught that Karate forms are empty hand, and Kobudo forms are with weapons. There is a distict seperation.
Yet since I've began practice, over 3 decades ago, I've seen people claim Karate forms can use weapons, and seen performances of Karate forms with weapons.

Questions and Answers
Each week we answer five questions from readers and listeners. Here's what we tackled this week.
My son deleted a bunch of songs from his iTunes library. How can he get them back?
Apple recently added a feature to iTunes that lets you download songs you already purchased. This support document details how to do it on your computer or iDevice. If you have multiple Apple IDs that you used to purchase songs with in the past, you may need to sign in and out of your various accounts to get all the music back. If the songs were ripped from CDs or acquired elsewhere, you may need to employ the help of data recovery software. The Lifehacker reader favorite was Recuva, but there are many options. None are guaranteed to work, but are worth a try if you have no other way to retrieve the data.
The best thing you can do is back up your music collection so you can recover songs yourself if something goes wrong. Personally, I sync iTunes with Dropbox, but that costs about $100 per year—more than many people prefer to spend. The best free option is to sync with Google Music, which makes your entire collection available online and doubles as a secondary streaming music player. Google Music makes download your collection a little more difficult than necessary, however, so it might be worth paying the small fee of $25 per year for Amazon Cloud Player instead. But a traditional backup system works just fine, too.
What's the best way to watch home videos on an Apple TV 2?
You have two options: Convert everything with Handbrake or jailbreak your Apple TV 2 and install XBMC so you don't have to convert any files at all.
What advice would you give to someone who's burnt out with their current career position and is faced with choosing one of the two scenarios: earn an advanced degree in the same field, in which case their employer would carry the burden of tuition, or take their lumps in the student loans that would be required to stop in their tracks to return to school in pursuit of a whole new career?
This question was too specific to shorten. Burn out sucks. I've actually been in a very similar situation and decided that it was best for me to move on from the job that wasn't right an pursue a new career. I had the benefit of being able to take on much less debt than this listener, so it was kind of a no-brainer, but I nonetheless recommend going after what you believe will make you happiest if you're truly burnt out because of your current career. Thorin had a great suggestion: take a month off, even if it means some of that time is unpaid, and recharge. Feel better, head back to work, and assess if you're burnt out because of your job, the amount of work you have to do, your boss, or if it's definitely your career. Getting away from the source of the problem will give you a new perspective so you can make the most informed decision possible. This is a big choice, and you want to be responsible, so take the time you need to figure it out.
Is it a bad idea to overclock a laptop?
Most people say yes. Whitson is not most people. While he does feel it's generally a bad idea, if you want to live on the edge and eke out a little more power, you can give it a try. Just monitor everything very closely as you're more likely to ruin your laptop than your desktop.

Thorin: Pawn Shop Codes
Haggling is part of the pawn shop experience, but the seller always has a leg up on you because they know exactly how much they paid for an item. However, according to Redditt user beefjerkybandit, at least one pawn shop chain, Pawn America, has an easy to decipher code that they put on every item.

Whitson: A Cheaper Way to Charge Your iPhone 5 (and Other Lightning-Based Devices)
Apple's new Lightning connector for the iPhone 5 is great, but it's just so darn expensive. If you're looking to save a few bucks, Bloomberg Businessweek discovered a cheaper cable hidden away on Apple's web site.
Note: I did this! The Lightning to USB cables are much easier to find than the adapters, too. Check your local Apple Store for stock. I had trouble finding them at Best Buy and Target, but readers report seeing them there as well. The advantage of Best Buy and Apple is that you can utilize in-store pickup and ensure they don't run out before you get there.

Dachis: Painlessly Remove a Bandage
Bandages are, literally, a pain to remove, but Redditor wallaceeffect believes he has a solution: blow dry the band-aid on high heat before ripping it off. I decided to give this a try and find out if warm air really made a difference.
Note: I did this! It actually works really well. Some people argue you should just deal with the pain, and that's kind of how I handle bandage removal normally anyway (I don't feel things), but if you're really sensitive because of an injury, burn, or just in general, this is a really great tip.

Like the look of Windows Phone's tiled interface, but want Android's openness and app library? Real Widget puts Windows' tiled interface on your Android home screen so you get the best of both worlds.
Merge (iOS, Jailbroken)
One of the problems with iMessage is that the service doesn't automatically group your contact's different information together. So, if you get a message from an email address, it doesn't combine that with previous messages from a phone number. Merge is a jailbreak tweak that fixes this.
Lifehacker Resume Builder (Any Webserver with PHP)

How Do I Submit a Question?
There are three ways to send in your question:
Call (347) 687-8109 and record a question. Calls are awesome! We like them!
Email your question to [email protected].
Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

Pats TE Gronkowski Has Surgery On Broken Forearm
A person familiar with the process said Monday the New England Patriots tight end expects to be sidelined for four to six weeks after having surgery for a broken left forearm. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick gave no update on the high-scoring, free-spirited tight end, who appeared to be hurt while blocking on an extra point late in the Patriots' 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Asked during an early afternoon conference call if Gronkowski had undergone surgery, Belichick said, "I really haven't met with our doctors and trainers yet today. I do that at the end of the day. I don't have any updates.
"Whatever the injury information is, we'll release it in a timely fashion, when we're required by the league, just like we always do."
The Patriots gave no estimate of how long Gronkowski, who hasn't missed a game in his three NFL seasons, might be sidelined. But they have to make a quick adjustment with only three days to prepare for Thursday night's game at the New York Jets.
The Patriots (7-3) lead the other three AFC East teams, including the Jets, by three games.
Gronkowski caught seven passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns against the Colts, becoming the first tight end in NFL history with at least 10 touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. He has 53 catches for 748 yards this season.
After his first touchdown on a 4-yard pass midway through the first quarter Sunday, he spiked the ball, causing a nearby official to throw his hands in front of his body for protection. And after the first of his two touchdowns on Oct. 28 in a 45-7 win over the St. Louis Rams in London, Gronkowski did a high-stepping strut to mimic a local tourist attraction then spiked the ball.
"That was a `Palace Guard,"' he joked after the game.
On Sunday, he went to the locker room with team physician Dr. Thomas Gill with 3:55 left in the fourth quarter after blocking on an extra point that increased the victory margin to 35 points.
Gronkowski has played with a hip injury this season and was listed as questionable on the injury report for each of the past seven games. But Belichick voiced no second thoughts of continuing to have him block on kicks.
"I don't think there are any quicker ways to lose a game than getting a kick blocked and run back for a touchdown," he said. "Whoever does it, it's a very important job in the game."
The extra point on which Gronkowski was hurt followed the final touchdown, a 4-yard run by Shane Vereen. After the kick, and while most of his teammates were gathering near placekicker Stephen Gostkowski to congratulate each other, Gronkowski walked straight to the sideline with his left arm hanging by his side.
On the play, Gronkowski had lined up on the far right of the tight formation. Cornerback Marshay Green charged toward a narrow gap to Gronkowski's left. Gronkowski raised his left arm, bent at the elbow. The arm bent back as it contacted Green's left side. Gronkowski's right arm did not touch anyone.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said Monday morning that he had known about the injury but did not know its extent.
"It's part of this game," he said on his weekly appearance on WEEI radio. "He's got to do his best to get back as soon as possible, and we've got to go out there and win some games without him."
Gronkowski had 10 touchdown catches as a rookie in 2010, then set NFL records for tight ends last year with 17 touchdowns and 1,327 yards receiving. He caught 90 passes. But he sprained his left ankle in the AFC title game and was a nonfactor in the Super Bowl, which New England lost 21-17 to the New York Giants.
The Patriots' other first-string tight end, Aaron Hernandez, has missed the last three games - and a total of six this season - after he sprained his right ankle in Week 2. He has 17 catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns in four games.
His playing status against the Jets might be "a game-time decision," Belichick said. "I'd definitely put Aaron in the day-by-day category."
The Patriots will have 10 days following Thanksgiving before they play again. And with a comfortable lead in the division standings, Hernandez would have extra time to recover if he doesn't play Thursday.
"I think that a player's availability for the game would be judged on its merits, period, for this game," Belichick said. "Possibly if there were some overriding circumstances, which I can't really think of, but I'm not saying it's not a possibility."
The other tight ends on the roster - Daniel Fells, Michael Hoomanawanui and Visanthe Shiancoe - have a total of four receptions. Shiancoe has played just two games since being activated off the injured reserve list. Fells was healthy but inactive and Shiancoe had no catches against the Colts.
"He gets better every time he goes on the field," Belichick said of Shiancoe. "He has a chance to run the plays in our system, which he missed the majority of training camp being able to do that."
Shiancoe is not unfamiliar with a starting role. In his 10th season in the league, Shiancoe came into his own as a Viking. After four ho-hum seasons with the Giants, Shiancoe made the most of his time with Minnesota, topping 500 yards receiving three times in five seasons.
In 2008-09 and 2009-10, in fact, he caught 18 total touchdown passes.

My meditation practice has been nothing more than sitting with a racing mind. I have little time to read Zen book or study Buddhism. I have a library of Buddhist books on my bookshelf that are half read. I sat down one evening, early this week, and felt frustrated. Zen is supposedly a simple way to live. But my mind wants nothing to do with it, it wants to race, think, analyze, study, learn all the time and does not want to let go of attachments. I finally told myself I am quitting. I no longer sit and do "zazen" I no longer "practice Buddhism" I am done, I quit. And so I sat, with nothing, no labels, no pressure, no striving to achieve perfection or anything at all, for that matter. And, there it was, the clear blue sky!!!! And now as I sit, doing nothing, no zazen, no shikantaza, nothing at all, the clear blue sky keeps returning to me.
And then I found this quote, and now I think, after practicing and studying Zen for a year, I finally understand what this is all about...
"Zen is not some kind of excitement, but concentration on our usual everyday routine"
Shunryu Suzuki

Devil Dinosaurs
"If dinosaur evolution were an Austin Powers movie, T. rex would be Dr. Evil."
So says the official National Geographic website.
A recent Discovery Channel program about dinosaurs was called "Monsters Resurrected."
Why do we demonize meat-eating dinosaurs? If you read the old accounts of explorers in Africa, they used to refer to lions, tigers, gorillas and even elephants as beasts and monsters. But no one does that with living animals anymore because we understand them more fully as complex and vulnerable creatures.
Tyrannosaurs are shown in most movies——and most documentaries——as rampaging killing machines. But real meat-eaters don't have it so easy. Predators get kicked by prey, they get chased off a kill by other predators, and they starve.
Perhaps people associate meat-eating with the moral evil of murder. Perhaps we make monsters out of dinosaurs because they're unknown enough to allow us to place them on a mythic plane. That's OK for comic books and stories—after all, Dinotopia romanticizes dinosaurs both as allies and adversaries—but I don't think marketing departments of science publications should use that angle, because it stands in the way of a more interesting scientific understanding.
Thanks, Andy, for the comic! Comic copyright Marvel.

i wonder where the medievel and ancient accounts of 'dragons' come from? I know fossils were known before scientific archealogy (They were used in china as medical cures and jewlerly, I think) but like snakes there's something 'deep' in the human pysche about 'dragons', reptiles, dinosaurs, what have you..
unless you make them cute, purple and pc, like Barney they are pretty frightening looking. - January 12, 2010 at 11:48 AM

James, the gist of your post is very thought provoking as usual. The inclusion of issue one of Devil Dinosaur to illustrate the idea that carnivorous dinosaurs are often vilified isn't the best example however. Devil Dinosaur and his constant companion Moon Boy are the heroes of the series. It was created in 1978 by the great Jack Kirby and although it came along well after Kirby's prime as a comics creator it is still a fascinating and pretty surrealistic read, on par with "Kamandi, last boy on earth" and "OMAC, one man army corps".

i think its more of a cool idea that man once had a beast much bigger and stonger then him on the food chain, maybe we are just bored with being so dominate for so long. the idea of being at the lower end of the spectrum exicites us!
also, just a quick observation and question, if dinosaurs evolved into birds, wouldnt there be dragons in there somewhere? diosaurs with wings? that would be an awsome find, some huge dragon bones with wings... - January 12, 2010 at 12:37 PM

David E. Jones writes in An Instinct for Dragons that the wisespread appearance of dragon-like beasts is an amalgamation of three natural predators of prehistoric humans - snakes, raptors, and big cats. So perhaps it's not so strange to consider large, unfamiliar animals as monstrous!

I just read an old book about animal training with a lot of highly interesting stories from circusses and the work with animals. The earliest reports written in the book are from the late 19th cenutury, the more recent ones from the early second half of the 20th century. The view of animals at that time was very obvious. The polar bears for example are again and again named "white beasts". It is really interesting to read how things were different in earlier times, sometimes only some decades ago. In a time when you had at best a black and white movie in the cinema which showed you wild animals in their native habitat or zoo animals in tiny cages, a good circus with dangerous animals was of course great entertainment. There were once sceneries we can´t hardly imagine today. For example a show with 30 polar bears. And there were of course big cats and normal bears too at other parts of the show. What I found really somewhat gruesome, was that the trainers well knew that each of their polar bears was caught by shooting its mother.
I think the terms "monster" and similar words are really even today used much too often for some animals. Especially crocodiles and sharks have still to suffer a lot from bad publicity, possibly most of all. Of course some crocodile species and shark species are dangerous to men, but in general there is just a stereotypic description as maneaters for all similar kinds, no matter if they are really dangerous or not.
On the other hand, perhaps to a distinct degree, such description can be justified (but of course I reject it in nearly all cases that such words are used to villainise predators, especially when this leads to increasing killings and antipathy for this species). What can we call a monster at all? What is a monster? If I look at a giant squid or a colossal squid for example from the zoological view, I see huge cephalopods which are highly fascinating and sadly still not well-studied. On the other hand, when I look at this tentacles, talons (Mesonchoteuthis has big chinitous claws), the giant eyes and the beaks, can´t I say they are true monsters? Even if they are not dangerous to humans, but only very large members of a kind of animal which mankind eats every day in millions? - January 12, 2010 at 1:31 PM

Why demonize the carnivorous dinosaurs?
In an attempt to understand them better I think.
Moral values do not apply for animals, there is no right and wrong. There is surviving the day.. Unlike humans, the carnivores are satisfied with what they get. There is no reason to kill a whole pack of prey if one individual is enough to fill the belly.
We cannot understand that way of thinking, if we can kill one, why not kill one more?
I dare go so far to say that we portray carnivorous dinosaurs that way so we don't have to face our own nature.
"We are not ruthless killers, they are"
If anything, nature programs have shown me a very loving nature of many "killer" animals. Dinosaurs deserve more than to be devils - January 12, 2010 at 4:35 PM

I think it is also dependent on the perspective in which the animals are portrayed. If the show is about a baby zebra, the lions are of course the bad boys. If the story is about the life of the baby lion, the former evil carnivores suddenly become cute, and the hyenas for example are now the villains. And if the story is about hyenas...well, it´s really somewhat hard to make people feeling sympathy for hyenas. At least I like hyeanas, they are highly interesting animals, and among the living carnivorous mammals probably still those which are most often depicted as villains. Last year when I was at the NHM Copenhagen, I had the opporunity to see a cast of the huge hyena Dinocrocuta gigantea. This skull was the size of a grizzly bear´s. It was really cool, because they had several dozen skull casts from many different living and extinct animals, and it was even allowed to touch them. You get a completely different feeling when you see such skulls in life, and not only photos of pictures of them. Dinocrocuta was really gigantic. But even this giant fearsome hypercarnivore was once a cute little baby, and I find it also very interesting that even the large spotted hyenas can become quite friendly when they grow up with humans, nearly like dogs.

Interesting topic. There's a lot of discussion about this subject over at (of all places) the TV Tropes Wiki. Relevant tropes are Carnivore Confusion and Dinosaurs Are Dragons. The first is a reminder that vilifying large predators is nothing new and the second has some insight into the idea that dinosaurs are more likely to be thought of as some kind of fantastic monster then, err, just another group of animals.
On that note...
"If dinosaur evolution were an Austin Powers movie, T. rex would be Dr. Evil."

Many years ago I studied ecology as university. Contrary to what most people think the subject is really about populations of plants and animals,their dynamics and how they relate to each other and the environment.
We learnt that generally large predators are not very efficient at killing healthy prey. If they were, they would eventually hunt their prey and themselves to extinction. The exception is when their prey is very old, very young or sick. Obviously they do well when their prey numbers increase and the prey are approaching overpopulation (and therefore lack of resources such as food, water, shelter etc).
Far from being super efficient killing machines large predator survival is actually dependant on the success of their prey.
This is a different world view than the one usually promoted. It is fair to assume that the same dynamics applied to most dinosaurs.
Thanks for another thought provoking post.

Good point, Mordecai -- the title character is only a devil to the evil creatures that want to hurt his friend Moon Boy!
"Devil Dinosaur" is one of Kirby's more bizarre creations, and not one of his best, IMO, long after imagining a huge chunk of the Marvel Universe and creating his DC Fourth World magnum opus.

I loved your line "Perhaps people associate meat-eating with the moral evil of murder."
Most people seem to equate the killing of prey for food with viciousness, when the reality is a lion or a hawk or a snake regards its prey with the same benign interest that I do toward a pizza. The act of killing requires strength and skill and special tools endowed by nature, yes, but predators have other sides to them as well. An eagle can crush the life out of a jackrabbit in a paralyzing instant, but her care of her chick is every bit as solicitous as a mother hen for her brood. I can full well imagine a mother t-rex behaving the same way toward its offspring. - January 12, 2010 at 9:32 PM

I think that we ought to be very careful with every thing that culture, and especially mass-culture and vulgarization, offers us. It is not being paranoïd, and it doesn't mean we have to narrow the field of creativity, but it is right to ask the question of ideology wich stands behind every creative project, and the condamnations we daily make without noticing it. And underlining it should be as important as being able to replace a fact in its history context.
So James, I think you are very right about this Tyranosaurus (Tyran?) question. - January 13, 2010 at 5:57 AM
In regard to the fear we have of sharks, there is a great movie called Sharkwaters where that fear is debunked (there's even footage of sharks laying in a diver's lap and getting petted!)
It's not for the faint of heart, however because the last half shows footage of sharks getting finned. - January 13, 2010 at 8:02 AM

I have a problem with the statement:
"That's OK for comic books and stories".
I don't believe it's "OK" for comic books and stories to stereotype characters. It feeds the reader a too simplistic view of reality. (The Good and the Bad, you know.)
And actually, Dinotopia does NOT stereotype at all. Despite the fact that Dinotopia portrays a utopian changri-la, there's a tension between the pacifist community and the predators. One that is a little confusing, even awkward. Dinotopia treats T-Rexes and the likes with a certain respect. And that's unlike many movies and comic books. - January 13, 2010 at 10:17 AM

Craig, Andy, and Mordecai--Yes, the Marvel Devil Dinosaur is awesome, and I love it--maybe shouldn't have used it as an example because I'm only really talking about books or documentaries that are supposed to be scientific.
Many of you have given great examples of real-life predators whose actual life stories are much more interesting than the stock cliche.
And thanks for pointing out, Erik, that comics and illustrated books definitely don't have to use stock characters.
Trish, thanks for the mention of the TV tropes. That's a very interesting collection of cultural insights. - January 13, 2010 at 12:50 PM

I believe it is important to think about what implications this has on our media in general. While romanticizing and demonizing dinosaurs may be relatively harmless in that it doesn't hurt or offend any dinosaur, it is harmful for people to get into the habit of accepting these depictions as the "Truth." What happens when these same advertising tactics are used not in publications about dinosaurs, but other cultures, ethnic groups, lifestyles, or even our own history? I'm so pleased to see this post because this kind of critical thinking is our defense from becoming the victims of propaganda.

It's marketing. While it is a documentary, it is also on prime time, aired by a major corporation and aimed at young boys. What started all of us to be interested in dinosaurs and dragons when we were younger? There is a primal fear to them and an awe (and respect?) of primal power. Probably psychological and based in the reptilian brain, or Jungian and a metaphor for how he see adults and the outside world. Or both.
The question frm an advertising and marketing standpoint is: Did it get you to watch the show? I did. So it worked (at least with me). Could they portray the dinosaurs in a different light? Yes, but I wonder how many more people would watch knowing the dinosaurs were going to be portrayed as somewhat docile, caring creatures. We like to be scared and excited. I know it's why I like comics and action movies and fantasy and sci-fi. Also, documentaries often have a viewpoint that is filtered through the director and producer (and sometimes the station). Just because it's on a "science" channel doesn't make it good science. Look at Ghost Lab. - January 19, 2010 at 10:52 AM

Vainamoinen--well, hopefully I.R. is not too outdated, I did say "not yet" about hard evidence for color, because I knew this announcement was coming. Remember, though, it's only one small group of theropods. 99% of the other dinosaurs have no evidence for color.

Certainly- although I waited until all of those one-buckshot "Marvel Monsters" comics were confident into a singular number (maybe I should do up a discuss of THAT book at some notion). I kinda hoped that Astonished at would revisit that article again for another series of specials, but they look as if to be fixated on re-imagining all of their characters as zombies nowadays...I find best cialis prices.

I think we often depict predators as killing machines because for generations humans have told stories of monsters out there that if you're not careful will get you. I think we still do that to try and play on our inner fears that something might be out to get us. However I don't think that's the way to do something. True predators can't eat plants. That doesn't mean they're evil. They just have to work a little harder to get food. Oftentimes they try to find something that's easy to get without risking their lives. Maybe we need to show that if you give predators respect and try to avoid them they'll generally leave you alone. Also make sure they're not hungry when you're around.

5 terrorism suspects extradited from UK to US
An ailing extremist Egyptian-born preacher and four other terrorism suspects arrived in the United States early Saturday under tight security to face trial after losing their lengthy extradition fight in England, authorities said.
The preacher, Abu Hamza al-Masri, was taken to a lockup next to the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan to face charges that he conspired with Seattle men to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon and that he helped abduct 16 hostages, two of them American tourists, in Yemen in 1998.
The one-time nightclub bouncer will be housed there along with Khaled al-Fawwaz and Adel Abdul Bary, who will face trial on charges that they participated in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998. The attacks killed 224 people, including 12 Americans. They were indicted in a case that also charged Osama bin Laden.
It was not immediately clear when al-Masri, al-Fawwaz and Bary would appear in court.
The top 5 militant leaders still hiding in Pakistan
In the 1990s, al-Masri turned London's Finsbury Park Mosque into a training ground for extremist Islamists, attracting men including Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid.
Two other defendants, Syed Talha Ahsan and Babar Ahmad, pleaded not guilty in federal court in New Haven, Conn., on Saturday morning. They were jailed until trial, and their lawyers declined to comment after the arraignment.
Ahmad and Ahsan face charges that they ran websites that sought to raise cash, recruit fighters and seek equipment for terrorists in Afghanistan and Chechnya. Authorities say the websites included Azzam.com, which investigators say was used to recruit members for the al-Qaida network, Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime, and Chechen rebels.
They will be tried in Connecticut, where an Internet service provider was allegedly used to run the websites.
Al-Masri is not the first ailing Egyptian-born preacher to be brought to Manhattan for trial. A blind sheik, Omar Abdel-Rahman, is serving a life sentence after he was convicted in 1995 in a plot to assassinate then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and of plotting to blow up New York landmarks, including the United Nations, and two tunnels and a bridge linking New Jersey to Manhattan. Abdel-Rahman has numerous health issues, including heart trouble.
In England, lawyers for the 54-year-old al-Masri, who has one eye and hooks in place of hands he claims to have lost fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, said he suffers from depression, chronic sleep deprivation, diabetes, and other ailments.
The overnight trip to the United States came after a multi-year extradition fight that ended Friday, when Britain's High Court ruled that the men had no more grounds for appeal and could be sent to the U.S. immediately. The men have been battling extradition for between eight and 14 years.
"I'm absolutely delighted that Abu Hamza is now out of this country," British Prime Minister David Cameron said. "Like the rest of the public I'm sick to the back teeth of people who come here, threaten our country, who stay at vast expense to the taxpayer and we can't get rid of them."
"I'm delighted on this occasion we've managed to send this person off to a country where he will face justice," he added.
Al-Masri has been in a British jail since 2004 on separate charges of inciting racial hatred and encouraging followers to kill non-Muslims.
While al-Masri has been portrayed in the British media as one of the most dangerous men in the country, the case against Ahmad in Connecticut has raised concerns among legal experts and human rights advocates.
Some lawyers and lawmakers have expressed concerns because Britain agreed to extradite him even though his alleged crimes were committed in Britain and British courts declined to prosecute him for lack of evidence.
In prison since 2004, Ahmad, a London computer expert, has been held without charge for the longest period of any British citizen detained since the Sept. 11 attacks.
In a statement read on his behalf outside court in London Friday, Ahmad said his case had exposed flaws in U.S.-U.K. extradition arrangements. "I leave with my head held high, having won the moral victory," he said.
His father, Ashfaq Ahmad, said he would continue to fight for his son.
"It's not just one Babar Ahmad. Tomorrow there will be another Babar Ahmad and another one," he said.

This past weekend, Adam and I took a trip to one of our favorite places ever—Big Sur. We had been once before (remember this video?!), and despite the fact that we were there in the middle of one of the worst storms of the season, I fell in love. Did I mention that was my first time tent camping? Let's just say this time we brought an air mattress. And a hair dryer! And lots of wine and snacks. Adam tells me it's not "real" camping since where we were there was a five-star restaurant on site, a bathroom with hot showers and full ocean views but whatever. I camp how I want!
We ended up extending our stay by a day to hike through coastal redwoods and eat lunch at Nepenthe, one of my bucket list restaurants. Through a simple lunch of mushroom soup and turkey sandwiches, I experienced Big Sur like never before. This time around, the weather was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better getaway. For all of those wondering, we stayed at Treebones the first two nights (tent camped rather than yurts) and stayed at a small cabin at Ripplewood the third night. I highly recommend both spots!
I'm happy to share our photos with you guys (click on the thumbnails for larger versions). Look out for Malcom the elephant seal pup—he was a sneaky one!
