Rating the Star Wars Saga
June 2, 2010, 10:42 AM »
I know we have a thread on here ranking the movies in order from favorite to least favorite, but I didn't see one for actually rating each movie individually. I was wondering - on a scale of 1 to 10 - how you would rate each of the Star Wars movies? Off the top of my head, I think I'd rate them like this:
Star Wars (A New Hope)
- 10/10 (I often look at this as "what if it was a stand alone movie", just a fun movie to watch from start to finish)
The Empire Strikes Back
- 10/10 (To me...and many...the best movie of the Saga. No weak spots here to me, and a lot of really memorable characters and scenes. The Battle of Hoth is still my favorite of the entire Saga. The asteroid chase, Yoda/Lando/Boba, so much great)
Return of the Jedi
- 9/10 (Probably higher than most, but it holds a special place for me as it is the first movie I saw in the theater, with my Dad, and was my favorite for a long time as a kid because of that)
The Phantom Menace
- 6/10 (Problems are well documented, but I'll still watch at least part of it when it is on. Still love the lightsaber battle, and the stuff with Obi-Wan and Qui Gon is all good too I think)
Attack of the Clones
- 7/10 (This one has faded for me a bit since release. When I first saw it, I absolute loved it. Since then, there are parts of it - mainly the Anakin/Padme stuff in the middle - that I almost have to fast forward through. I can't say I do that with any other part of the Saga really. I do think the last half hour plus from when Anakin/Padme enter the arena to the end is good stuff. I also like Obi-Wan's entire arc of this movie, the sort of "solving the mystery" stuff and the face offs with Jango.
Revenge of the Sith
- 8.5/10 (Definitely my favorite of the prequels, and almost on par with the OT for me. No many weak spots to speak of, aside from maybe Anakin's relatively "quick change" to the dark side. Pretty strong movie otherwise for me. I really only lower it another half point because I don't like it quite as much as ROTJ, which I gave a 9...but no real faults with this movie for me.

I doubt my view would differ much from yours at all Brian... The OT gets all the love, and ROTJ lacks something the other two had... And among the PT it's ROTS clear ahead of the other two, and then AOTC and last TPM...
That's probably the most common way fans rank things too, though I think some have a more clear-cut love of either ANH or ESB... Among older fans though, that's probably the norm though.
I'm like you with ANH and ESB though, and cannot really pick between the two. I'd probably lean more to ANH if I were in a choose one situation. *shrugs* It's just more a complete single movie by itself to me.

I'll play...especially since I have some differing opinions...
Star Wars (A New Hope)
- 9/10 (I know, it's the one that started it all, how can it not get all the points? Chalk it up to my love for the whole Death Star Escape sequence, and my feeling that the Yavin section at the end is kind of anticlimactic after all that. It's not an opinion I've heard from anyone else, but I've stopped watching after the Falcon/TIE duel many a time. Otherwise, obviously, just a great great movie.)
The Empire Strikes Back
- 10/10 (The high water mark. The thing is so funky as a movie, it is striking (no pun intended) how refreshing a movie that doesn't follow formula can be. Can't turn it off once it's on, and always makes me want to put on...)
Return of the Jedi
- 7/10 (when I was a kid this was my favorite, I loved everything about it, from Jabba to the Sarlaac battle (which I comitted to memory nearly shot-for-shot before VHS) to the Speeder Bikes and even the Ewoks. Nowadays, I wish it was a better movie and didn't rely so much o nthe characterization made in ESB, but did it's own stuff (Prime example, the ham-handed rehash of the "I love you" "I know" bit. It just doesn't work the second time, except to make you remember how good a scene it was the first time.) I still like the Ewoks though, if I skip something it is usually the Jabba's Palace beginning.)
The Phantom Menace
- 8/10 (I am in the minority that thinks this was the best prequel. Even more so than ANH, this is a standalone movie to me. Qui-Gon Jinn may be the best-written character of the entire saga IMO. Watto is by far the best supporting character of the PT, and really is
villain of the flick, far overshadowing Darth Maul. Of course, then you also have Jar Jar and little Ani, but I can almost excuse that stuff because this boils down to a kids movie. I always get caught up in this one the whole way through, even through the Tatooine stuff in the middle.)
Attack of the Clones
- 4/10 (I can't remember the last time I watched this movie, it had to have been pre-05, so more than five years. This thing just didn't work for me once the newness of its Star Warsiness wore off. Anakin comes off so much worse as a grown-up than he did as a kid, Obi-wan tries to save things but runs into plot obstacles that can't be acted around. The only interesting characters are the Lars family, and they get very short shrift. Nah, I'd pick TPM every time over this one.)
Revenge of the Sith
- 5/10 (I appreciate the bridge back to the OT here, but there are just too many problems for me to really get excited about this. The quick-change of Anakin after all the soul-searching, the lumpiness of the plot, and the general feeling of mean-spiritedness and lack of joy really detract from my enjoyment. As a big R2 fan I used to really dig the opening sequence aboard Grievous's ship, but after 2 seasons of Clone Wars cartoons I've seen it done much better elsewhere by now. Now I'll watch it for the duel at the end, but that's about all.)

More Pentagon Papers Donald Rumsfeld Doesn't Want You to See
In July 2004, as the Iraq War spiraled out of control, Donald Rumsfeld ordered a staffer to draw up a "What Did Not Happen?" memo—a list of potential bad outcomes that had been avoided—to make himself feel better. Things could be worse, right?
Then they started happening. The "What Did Not Happen?" memo—which Gawker obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, along with thousands of pages of other documents from Rumsfeld's tenure—is practically a parody of Rumsfeld's truculent blindness to his own failures. In a bid to justify the wisdom of his Iraqi misadventure, he commissioned a list of pitfalls he had avoided at the very moment that they were happening all around him. In 2009, Rumsfeld asked the Defense Department for a declassified copy of that memo, along with thousands of pages of other records from his tenure, to help prepare for his memoir. In a bid to appear transparent and open and willing to back up his memories with evidence, Rumsfeld has posted thousands of those documents to his online "Rumsfeld Papers." And to his credit, he has posted some documents that don't reflect well on him.
But he's also kept hundred of documents secret, and we used the FOIA to find them—we got everything that the Pentagon handed over to Rumsfeld, so we know what what he got and can see what he declined to publish. We received a few hundred pages in February, and just got another 1,300 pages, including memos urging President Bush to start toppling regimes in the Middle East just days after 9/11, suggesting that he thought Gen. Tommy Franks was lying to him, and chastising his generals for being too concerned about civilian casualties.
"What Did Not Happen?"
Rumsfeld asked a deputy to draw up the memo in July 2004, more than a year after the invasion and four months after the insurgency began to explode with the lynching of four Blackwater contractors in Fallujah. It listed 29 eventualities the Pentagon had allegedly planned for that hadn't yet happened up to that point—things like "Saddam uses WMD against U.S. or allied forces." It included these ten items that actually happened as a result of the invasion, and for which Rumsfeld and the White House were clearly not prepared:
Iraq descends into anarchy
Iraq becomes Balkanized
There are mass Iraqi casualties
The oil infrastructure is severely damaged or destroyed
Disruption of oil production causes widespread economic problems
Another state (e.g. North Korea) takes advantage of U.S. focus on Iraq
There is widespread vigilante justice
Shi'a holy sites are damaged or destroyed
A revolt of the "Arab street" in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or Jordan causes political instability
There is a dramatic surge in terrorist recruitment
Good thing none of that happened. Read the full document here.
"New regimes in Afghanistan and another key state (or two)."
On September 30, 2001, Rumsfeld laid out his plan on how to conduct a war on terror in a memo for President Bush, including a remarkably casual and off-hand recommendation for invading a middle eastern country—or two!—practically at random. Rumsfeld argued for a light footprint initially, saying it would be "surprising and impressive" if the U.S. began going after Al Qaida "with equip-and-train activities with local opposition forces" rather than "direct, aerial attacks on things and people." But once things got going, Rumsfeld wrote, the "The [USA] should envision a goal along these lines: New regimes in Afghanistan and another key State (or two) that supports terrorism." Read the full document here.
"I have a high tolerance level for possible error."
In October 2001, the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh reported that the U.S. missed a chance to kill Taliban commander Mullah Omar in a Predator strike because a military lawyer advised Gen. Tommy Franks not to fire for fear of civilian casualties. The story stuck in Rumsfeld's craw, and he called Franks to check it out and to urge him not to worry so much about civilians. "When I heard about Sy Hersh's piece in the New Yorker, I raised it with Tommy Franks," Rumsfeld wrote in a memo for the record. "I asked him if it was true that the CENTCOM lawyer had inhibited him from hitting that target." Franks insisted that the story wasn't true, but it seems that Rumsfeld actually trusted Hersh over his own commander: "He said it was absolutely not true. I have the feeling he may not have given me the full story."
Rumsfeld ended the conversation by explicitly instructing Franks not to be so concerned about killing civilians: "I have a high tolerance level for possible error. That is to say, if he thinks he has a valid target, and he can't get me or he can't get Wolfowitz in time, he should hit it." Another memo recounting the same conversation recalls Rumsfeld's words this way: "The payoff for getting a key leader is high. Look for a new process. Anything to speed it up. I have a high tolerance level for mistakes."
Eight months later, what the Pentagon called an "errant bomb" hit a wedding party in Uruzgan province, killing at least 20 civilians and wounding a 7- and 6-year-old girls. According to the Project on Defense Alternatives, within three months of Rumsfeld's admonition to Franks, the U.S. bombing campaign had killed between 1,000 and 1,300 civilians. Read the full document here.
"Mubarak is an ebullient man and seemed pleased with our meeting."
Rumsfeld has a proud history of palling around with Middle Eastern dictators, and in a memo to Bush recounting an October 2001 tour of the region, he described a "lively" but wary encounter with recently deposed strongman Hosni Mubarak: "Mubarak offered much advice on the war on terrorism: The U.S. should use intelligence operations as an alternative to "too much bombing." "Don't be in a hurry, take it easy.... Put your money into buying allies on the ground in Afghanistan." Rumsfeld continued: "Mubarak is an ebullient man and seemed pleased with our meeting and dinner talk. Though his agenda (the Israel-Palestinian issue) and my agenda (fighting terrorism) diverged somewhat, the exchanges were friendly and should foster a higher degree of cooperation than would we get in the absence of such face-to-face consultations." Read the full document here.
"Afghanistan — A potential liability; U.S. has a stake in it not failing."
Rumsfeld is not a sophisticated foreign policy thinker. A memo to aide Doug Feith on U.S. trouble spots that he did see fit to publish in his library attracted much mockery earlier this year for this maddenlingly reductive and obvious command: "We also need to solve the Pakistan problem. And Korea doesn't seem to be going well. Are you coming up with proposals for me to send around?"
This April 2002 memo on "Countries for the U.S./DOD to Emphasize—and Why" is in a similar vein. The man responsible for the defense of our nation, when he surveyed the globe and to ascertain threats and opportunities, came up with this:
UK - U.S. special relationship - it is helpful.
Australia - A special relationship; valued location.
Afghanistan - A potential liability; U.S. has a stake in it not failing.
Egypt - Still a leader in the Muslim world.
Central/South America - We can't tolerate extremism or mass disorder.
Oddly, Iraq—which the Administration was at that very moment drawing up plans to invade and conquer—did not make the list. After Rumsfeld distributed the list, an aide responded to suggest that he add Iran. And China. Read the full document here.
"The fact that Iran and Russia have plans for Afghanistan and we don't concerns me."
In April 2002, six months after 9/11 and five months after the first U.S. ground troop was killed there by hostile fire, Rumsfeld wrote an "impatient" memo to Doug Feith wondering why the U.S. had no strategy in Afghanistan. "The fact that Iran and Russia have plans for Afghanistan and we don't concerns me. I keep getting an answer that 'the Deputies are working on it.' Well I can't believe that it takes that many months to figure it out.... We are never going to get the U.S. military out of Afghanistan unless we take care to see that there is something going on that will provide the stability that will be necessary for us to leave." Keen insight from the man who's job it was to come up with a strategy for Afghanistan, and who never did. Read the full document here.
"We need to train Kim long II to understand that blackmail tactics...will no longer work."
This 2002 memo to Dick Cheney argues for a strategy of ignoring Kim Jong Il's tantrums in the hopes of "training" him to negotiate in good faith with the U.S. He wasn't as trainable as you'd imagine most Stalinist madmen to be, and within four years had added another half dozen or so nuclear weapons to its arsenal. Read the full document here.
Bush: "We need an Iraqi leader to say to US: Thanks for your sacrifice."
The documents include a transcript of a 2004 National Security Council meeting at which the subject of who the U.S. should support as the next Iraqi leader came up. Bush's chief qualification? Gratitude. And posture. "We need an Iraqi leader to say to US: Thanks for your sacrifice. I don't expect a toady but he should be grateful for what we've done. We want American people to support our mission.... The Iraqi should want the job. We should see it in his body language." The job eventually went to Prime Minister Iyad Alawi. Read the full document here.
The Defense Department has posted the full 1,300-page response to our request as a pdf here.

Virginia tailbacks Perry Jones and Kevin Parks rushed for a combined 235 yards last season against Georgia Tech. That's more ground production than the entire team has generated through two games this season.
So might Saturday's game road test against the Yellow Jackets be timed ideally for the Cavaliers' ailing running attack?
Georgia Tech arrived in Charlottesville last October 6-0 and ranked 12th nationally. But Virginia rushed for a season-high 274 yards, including 149 by Jones and 86 by Parks, in a 24-21 upset.
The Yellow Jackets were no Alabama on defense, but that was the most rushing yards allowed by coordinator Al Groh's bunch all year. And with Jones, Parks and four offensive line starters returning for the Cavs, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson has plenty to ponder.
"Our big problem is last year they ran flat over us," he said during his weekly gabfest with Atlanta media. "They rushed for (274) yards and kept the ball for most of the time. We're used to winning the time of possession pretty handily, and they did a good job of holding onto the ball last year, and staying on the field. So that will be a challenge. It's a lot of the same guys up front, same running backs, so we'll need to see if we can't stop the run."
In opening victories over Richmond and Penn State, Virginia's experience has yet to produce on the ground. The Cavaliers have rushed for 216 yards, a meager 32 against the Nittany Lions, and are averaging 3.2 yards per carry, a full yard off last season's norm.
The decline in averages is more striking for Jones (5.0 to 3.0) and Parks (4.7 to 3.3). But since playing keepaway from Johnson's option attack is essential, expect to see Virginia run often Saturday behind tackles Oday Aboushi and Morgan Moses.
"There is a renewed emphasis on being able to use what we thought was a strength, what we think is a strength of our team, by being able to run the ball more," coach Mike London said Monday.
The Cavaliers are 2-2 against the Jackets since Johnson's arrival, and possession time has been critical in all four contests.
In 2009 and '10 victories, Georgia Tech hogged the ball for 42:43 and 36:54. The Yellow Jackets' 477 rushing yards in the latter game are their most ever against an ACC opponent.
Virginia won the clock battle, and the scoreboard, in 2008 and '11, with possession times of 34:18 and 30:01.
Georgia Tech (1-1) rushed for 467 yards in last week's 59-3 beatdown of Presbyterian. The Jackets' line is accomplished, its backs, including quarterback Tevin Washington, above-average. They will challenge a Virginia defense that was surprisingly resilient against Penn State.
But Jim Reid's D can't go it alone. Time for the o-line to start earning its keeps.
* Wake Forest heads to Florida State for the ACC's only other league game, one Vegas expects to be a blowout -- the Seminoles are favored by 28.
But that line is based more on reputation -- a football Mecca against a modest Baptist school – than reality. The Deacons are 4-2 against Florida State in the last six years, and even in defeat over the last decade have been far more competitive against the Seminoles than during the 1990s.
"They're much more athletic that people think," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said at his weekly presser. "Wake's got good players. Last year, their first three got drafted before our first one got drafted. They've got good players, they've always have – since I've been here. They're coached well. They don't beat themselves. They play very hard. They're very sound and a good football team."
Fisher's memory is clouded. The first Seminole drafted in April was linebacker Nigel Bradham, with the 105th overall pick. The only Deacon chosen ahead of him was receiver Chris Givens at 96, though linebacker Kyle Wilber (113) and guard Joe Looney (117) came shortly after Bradham. All were fourth-rounders.
Still, Fisher's overarching theory is undeniable. In Jim Grobe's 11 seasons as coach, Wake has improved exponentially from the program that Florida State outscored 319-48 in six meetings between 1992 and '97 (average margin: 45.2 points).
The Deacons have earned five bowl bids and won the 2006 ACC championship under Grobe. Plus, they're 2-0 after last week's 28-27 upset of North Carolina – the Seminoles are 2-0 after walkovers against Murray State and Savannah State.
"The first year I was here (as offensive coordinator in 2007), they had about five guys drafted off the defense which was an excellent defense," Fisher said of Wake. "Some of them were the best players we faced all year. …
"They're an experienced football team, a lot of them are redshirt juniors and seniors in the mix. I think people overlook that. They've caught the Butler (basketball) syndrome -– you get older guys that know how to play together and very well and they understand the system. They've been there and understand how to win and play hard. When you get older, you get smarter and tougher. That's how they play."
Indeed, five players from that 2007 defense were drafted: end Jeremy Thompson in 2008, linebacker Aaron Curry, cornerback Alphonso Smith, safety Chip Vaughn and linebacker Stanley Arnoux the following year. Curry was the fourth overall pick in 2009.
Encouraging start notwithstanding, this Wake team doesn't appear to be in the same league as the 2006 and '07 squads that went a combined 20-7. Quarterback Tanner Price engineered a last-ditch, 93-yard game-winning drive against Carolina, and Michael Campanaro has 22 receptions for 260 yards, but the Deacons have shown no rushing acumen and were fortunate to escape Liberty in their opener.
Grobe went so far as to call punter Alex Kinal – 10 of 15 punts inside the 20 – Wake's early MVP.
"His last punt (against North Carolina) was phenomenal," Grobe said of a kick that died at the 1. "It took 10 seconds off the clock and made Carolina go 99 yards. You can't stress the importance in the first two games of his punting."
Wake Forest is unlikely to topple No. 5 Florida State, but any Seminoles player, coach or fan would be foolish to gaze ahead to next week's Atlantic Division showdown against reigning ACC champion Clemson.

We were able to pick up our Ski-Doo snowmobiles yesterday (Nov. 11) and decided to put a few miles on them in Island Park, just to break them in a bit.
We parked at Big Springs and rode the roads because a) cross country travel in Targhee National Forest is not legal until after Thanksgiving and b) we wouldn't have dared go off the road because there were a whole lot of rocks, stumps, grass, you name it, showing. Snow was minimal until we gained some elevation on the Black Canyon Trail, where we hit several inches, maybe a foot, of powder before we turned around.
By the time we got back to the truck, we dialed up 29 miles on our Ski-Doo Summit X 800 E-Tec and Summit Freeride.
So the snow was very marginal but hey, it sure beat being in the office.

DIY Marble Maze.
While I took a bit of a break from this space earlier in the summer, I was still contributing over on the darling site Hellobee. One of the projects I put together and wanted to share with you dears is this DIY Marble Maze. With just a few inexpensive items from any craft store you can create a nice handmade toy that your children will love for hours. For some reason this maze has been enjoyed by Owen the most so if you have a boy between the ages of 6-8, I highly recommend creating one.
You can find the full tutorial right here on Hellobee.

I have been setting up multi instance database mirroring for the last couple of days along with some other DR related processes. I will do a detailed post about these at a later date. I came across this particular error again (for about the sixth or seventh time) Error Message below;
Msg 1416, Level 16, State 31, Line "LineNumberHere" Database "DatabaseNameHere" is not configured for database mirroring
The reason for me posting this is because each time I have seen this error it has been at the same point in the process of setting up database mirroring. As always I prefer to avoid using the GUI and Wizard and instead have a set of scripts to setup mirroring. I had created my endpoints, granted permissions, taken full and log backups of the database(s) in question on the PRINCIPAL Server and restored them to the MIRROR server WITH NORECOVERY. The next step in my process is to run the below to enable the mirroring partnership;
ALTER DATABASE "DatabaseNameHere" SET PARTNER = 'TCP://FullyQualifiedNameHere:PortNumberHere';
The reason for the failure is that I ran the script on the PRINCIPAL and it should be run on the MIRROR server first, Doh!
I remember the first time I saw this error I followed what a lot of people in various forums advised and amongst other solutions (which also didn't work) recreated the backups and restored them. This can be a time consuming process if you are working with large databases so I would advise you to first check that you are running this step on the MIRROR server first as it could save you a considerable amount of time and effort.

Research Slideshow: Why the Next Six Months Are Looking Up
The past few years have been wreaking havoc on IT budgets across every industry. Because of this, companies have been loath to spend on new technologies and on new hires. A recent CDW survey finds that the future might not be as worrisome as the past has been. Small businesses, large corporations, and government organizations have shifted to a more positive outlook. This means your company could soon be opening up the coffers to invest in at least some of the new technologies that you've been waiting for. CDW's findings are based on surveys the company conducted with 1,052 IT decision makers between July 26 and August 2, 2010. Here's what they have to say about how the next six months will shape up in terms of spending, employment plans, and IT effectiveness.

Early Childhood Education Emphasis
The M.Ed. program with an emphasis in early childhood education is designed to enable candidates to further their competencies as teachers or program administrators in public and private early childhood program. The program also prepares them for positions in community agencies that support families and young children. The minimum required and recommended courses are as follows. Students must complete the required Core Competencies and Capstone Course as listed above.
Career Outlook
The field of early childhood education has experienced a marked increase in the demand for highly qualified and professional prepared educators. As research continues to focus on the crucial early years of development, the need for trained professionals in early care and education will continue to rise. Early childhood graduates at all degree levels are attractive candidates for employment in a variety of educational positions. The downward extension of ages of schooling opens employment opportunities in the public and private sector. Future expansions of opportunities in schools are tied to population growth, increased specialization of services, and reduction in ratios between professional staff and children served. Additional career opportunities exist for early childhood educators in specialized childcare, private family care, instruction and training, corporations, self-owned businesses, and family- focused public and private agencies. Qualified early childhood educators can and do make a powerful difference in the lives of families and children.

ijdb needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 16 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
http://www.ijdb.co.uk is a new online jobs database. It stands for "Internet Jobs DataBase" and we are hoping that it will take off nationally and locally. We have been working on the backend, and now require a front end to start integrating.
Follow on work may include:
leaflets, additional logos, special banners, splash page, additional branding
Internet Jobs Database - http://www.ijdb.co.uk
IJDB.co.uk is a new online-only recruitment company with high ambitions. Based highly on the web, ijdb will initially target I.T. jobs (inlcuding development, specific technologies, consultancy, business analysts etc).
99designs.com has had some quality designs in the past, and hopefully someone will deliver the goods for us!
Additional follow on work should be available in the coming months depending on site takeoff. Think of this as a mini job interview, perhaps? :) We'll see..!
The winner should be able to provide the final design as a fully layed PSD. Other formats may be accepted, but please check with me first as I do not own all of the graphics packages out there... only Photoshop
I will give feedback to as many competitors as possible, and I will be very active during the entire contest running time.
New Sites:
http://intype.info/home/index.php - colours, sharpness
http://www.bigfilebox.com/ - crisp icons, logo, web 2.0 reflection on the icons
http://www.intabill.com/ - special mention, the background swirl that goes off the content. Fonts, Cleanness - yet a lot of information.
http://www.savana.cz/ - top banner (e.g. the way the monitor seems to be outside of the rest of the banner border).
http://maczone.sk/uvod - little bit busy, but very good for content management
http://uk.yahoo.com/ - quality.
Site 1 - structure. logo. Overall look. NOTE: Market research has suggested that the page should have lighter colours than the design here. The market is 16-60 year olds
Site 2 - Crisp, Easy to Use, Clear information
Site 1 - similar site on the surface, although ijdb.co.uk will offer additional functionality for both recruiters and seekers.
To help designers I have created a full wireframe of the design
NOTE: The wireframe is not a conclusive design. If you have stylistic changes (overlapping layers for buttons and quote.. or whatever) then I encourage that you include them in your designs.
We are very excited about this new business venture.
- Clean, crisp, modern and uncluttered design with rooms for ads (premium and googleads)
- Must fit 1024x768 with no horizontal sliding. Vertical sliding is not only okay, but required!
- Must be able to scale for large amounts of content (e.g. search results or large forms)
- Simple logo at the top. I might create a seperate logo at some point - but at the moment, a simple text logo should be okay! Feel free to leave a blank space for a logo on your designs.
- Login box (with remember password)
- Quick search box!
This may grow over time. Hopefully there is not muuuchh to go wrong due to the site examples, wireframe, and details above.

Electro Harmonix Pedals Get Brassy
Electro Harmonix Pedals Get Brassy
We've previously looked at how Electro Harmonix can be used for a wide array of different musical purposes.
Designed to be used with a tuner but the CM-200 will deliver more than enough instrument tone to play around with.
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it, brass is a relatively harmonically pure sound that translates nicely into many different effects. Plus that long sustain allows for the player to noodle around with all kinds of harmonic and rhythmic effects while holding the note.
If you fancy giving it a go yourself then a quality clip on mic would be your best bet. We understand that most brass players might not make this an integral part of their setup so splashing £100+ on a mic may not be realistic.In that case a cheap alternative would be a handy piezo mic, like the Korg CM200 (it even has a jack output). While you might not want to rely on it for stage sound at gigs the piezo will deliver enough of the sound of your instrument for hours of fun playing at home.
So go get that old delay pedal out the cupboard and have a ball!

Nestled in a booth at the Tasty Weasel Tap Room on a rainy Thursday afternoon last week, David Poor and his father-in-law, Mike Vaniman, relaxed while sipping a G'Knight just above the massive fermentation tanks at Oskar Blues Brewery.
BREVARD – Nestled in a booth at the Tasty Weasel Tap Room on a rainy Thursday afternoon last week, David Poor and his father-in-law, Mike Vaniman, relaxed while sipping a G'Knight just above the massive fermentation tanks that produced the popular imperial red IPA from Oskar Blues Brewery.
"(Vaniman) is visiting from Asheville and we were going hiking today and it started to rain, so I said, 'We're going to Oskar Blues,'" Poor said. "Actually, I don't come all that frequently, but anytime I've got a friend or a guest who hasn't been here, I want to bring them."
One look at the transformed facility at the back of Mountain Industrial Drive and it's easy to see why. At any given time, one can find anything from a cornhole tournament or community group bike ride to one of many fundraising events going on at the brewery.
Besides the appeal of a wide variety of hand-crafted beers brewed on premise, visitors to Oskar Blues usually are wowed by the sheer size of the brewing operation, marked by two rows of 200-barrel tanks that now stretch the length of the 30,000-square-foot facility and rise up to the mezzanine where the tasting room resides.
Western North Carolina's largest brewery – until Sierra Nevada opens shortly – Oskar Blues shipped out 9.2 million cans of beer to 16 states in the first 10 months of this year.
"That," Marketing Director Anne-Fitten Glenn said, "is a lot of beer."
A year of growth, community
On Dec. 12, Oskar Blues will celebrate its first anniversary of the initial production run of Dale's Pale Ale. An avid mountain biker whose longtime friendship with Mountain Song Festival organizer John Felty led to a love affair with the area, Oskar Blues owner Dale Katchechis considered only Brevard to build an East Coast sister brewery for his Colorado-based company.
In its first year, Oskar Blues not only has expanded the plant to the point where it is primed to nearly double capacity in 2014, it also hired 36 local workers and has been a highly visible presence at bars, restaurants, festivals, sporting events and charitable fundraisers throughout Western North Carolina.
"It's been unbelievable," Katechis said via email from Colorado. "We're in an amazing place in WNC, a place that simply felt like home from the beginning, and to be sending fresh, Brevard-brewed beer up and down the East Coast each day has been as fun as that Pisgah single track (trail network) that dew us here."
For Poor, a lifelong Brevard resident, Oskar Blues' impact on his town has been as impressive as the brewery's full-flavored beer that he enjoys drinking.
"The integration into the community has been outstanding," Poor said. "They are a sponsor at festivals, they've done fundraisers and benefits for our high school track and cross country teams. They really want to be a good community citizen, in addition to being an employer."
Jeremy Owen, board president for the Heart of Brevard, which focuses on downtown economic development, said Oskar Blues has not only been a strong tourist draw since its arrival but has helped continue to lure a new demographic of those who, like Katechis and his team, embrace the area's natural resources and quality of life.
"They've been a great story for Brevard," Owen said. "Obviously, the economic impact has been there with the ($12 million) investment that they've made, and they have really been open to partnerships with various organizations and sponsorships to give back and to make sure that their presence was a very positive one. They've given back in a number of ways and supported us, from providing lights for the trees for all of downtown for Christmas season to support of the various festivals we've had."
Looking ahead
Oskar Blues shows no signs of slowing down. After producing 45,000 barrels of beer, or 1.4 million gallons, in its first year, the company this month brought in five more 200-barrel tanks as part of an ongoing expansion that will yield a projected 80,000 barrels in 2014 to meet sky-high demand.
Oskar Blues experienced a 40 percent growth overall as a company in 2013. This year it landed on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list for the fourth time, was named Craft Brewer of the Year by Beverage World magazine and became NASCAR's first craft beer sponsor when JD Motorsports driver Landon Cassill piloted the No. 4 Oskar Blues Chevrolet at Charlotte Motor Speedway in October.
Oskar Blues' beers produced in Brevard and Colorado are available in 32 states, and the company plans to introduce six to eight more states in 2014 and add Ohio to Brevard's Eastern service region.
"They've really put Brevard on the map from a marketing standpoint – just the number of cans that go out that say 'Brevard, North Carolina' on the bottom of them, as well as the advertisements that they put out that use that can that says 'Brevard, North Carolina' on them, plus the markets that they're tapping into – I think most noticeably the NASCAR circuit," Brevard City Manager Joe Moore said. "It's really a marketing partnership that puts Brevard on the map."
Of course, such production volume has presented its challenges for the city with water usage and waste water, but Moore said it's been an opportunity for the city to assess its current and future infrastructure capabilities that will help Brevard to attract more businesses like Oskar Blues.
Moore added that Oskar Blues' influence on the area goes well beyond a purely economic one.
"I think that some of the symbolic impact is what's most noticeable to me," Moore said, "and by that I mean this: They took over an old truss plant that was making trusses for houses and the building industry, and with the collapse of the building industry, in particular the housing industry, I think it was highly symbolic to have somebody like an Oskar Blues come in there and utilize that space. It represented a rebirth to a lot of people in the community."
It also has given many locals such as close friends Erik Weber and Zach Horn of Fletcher a chance at a new career in a thriving industry. Weber and Horn went through Blue Ridge Community College's intensive Brew School at Oskar Blues earlier this year and each was hired as an assistant brewer just weeks after the course ended, with Weber having since been promoted to shift brewer and Horn hoping for the same in the coming weeks.
"Which is pretty amazing," Horn said, "to not be in the industry at all and have the opportunity to move up to brewer in six months. It's been fun, because still after six months it seems like things change on a daily basis with us growing so fast and adding new equipment and new staff … Good times, for sure."

The Spirit of Shankly supporters group has hit out at the Liverpool hierarchy after they announced plans to increase ticket prices for next season, with the group branding the move 'an insult to long standing supporters.'
Liverpool announced on Friday their plans to introduce a new six-tier system, which will see tickets for seats in certain parts of the ground rise by almost nine per cent.
Despite season ticket prices remaining the same price, and kids tickets available for £5 for certain games it is not enough for the Spirit of Shankly group, who feel the club have let down the long-standing supporters.
Speaking to The Independent the group said: "In the midst of austerity, with redundancies and cutbacks a daily reality for many supporters, these inflation-busting price rises are an insult to long-standing supporters who have already suffered a massive 716 per cent price rise since 1989.
"Supporters in the Main Stand and Paddock endure facilities that survived the Shankly era redevelopment, with so-called "concourses" dating back to 1907, while the cramped seating in the Lower Centenary has been notorious since that structure was built as the Kemlyn Road stand in 1963.
"It is our guess that not one of Liverpool's multiple "owners" has ever watched a match from any of these seats and that none of them have ever availed themselves of the so-called "facilities" in the Paddock or Main Stand.
"If we are wrong, then more shame on them for believing £815 to £850 is fair price to pay for 'the product' on offer.
"While the announcement regarding Kop season tickets is a relief to many, it is our belief that ticket prices are already too high, pricing out many of those that kept the club on its feet during its darkest days."
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre responded to the group and explained that ticket prices will reflect seat location and view of the pitch.
Ayre, explaining the changes, told liverpoolfc.com: "Over the past two years the club has given careful consideration to ticket prices and pricing structures in consultation with the Supporters Committee.
"Following last year's price freeze this year we have reviewed our overall stadium pricing structure and, similar to many other Premier League clubs, from next season we will also be introducing a multiple-tier pricing structure which will more accurately reflect seat location and view."
This season fans of other Premier League clubs have complained at ticket prices, with the cheapest Arsenal for a category A game costing £62. Fans have called upon the FA to become harder on clubs charging high prices for tickets while England's European counterparts are charged much less to watch their teams play.

Robbery to go: Man jailed following Wagon Wheel incident
A Big Spring man was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery and criminal mischief Thursday after a bizarre turn of events at the local Wagon Wheel restaurant.Lapaul Eric Scaggs, 36, of 510 S. Benton, was arrested Thursday by Big Spring Police Department officers on charges of aggravated robbery and criminal mischief – more than $1,500 and less than $20,000 after law enforcement officials say he allegedly refused to pay for his meal."Scaggs was a passenger in a vehicle which stopped at the Wagon Wheel restaurant," Sgt. Tony Everett, public information officer for the BSPD, said. "When the carhop brought the food to the car, Scaggs told the carhop he didn't have the money to pay for it. According to witness reports, he threatened the carhop."According to witness statements, Scaggs allegedly told the carhop to "Get the (expletive) back" and reached for what the carhop believed to be a handgun in his waistband."At first, the carhop thought they saw a handgun," Everett said. "However, no firearm was found in the possession of Scaggs. He was, however, in possession of a knife at the time of the crime."Everett said the driver of the vehicle — who was not arrested as a result of Thursday's events — paid for the food before leaving the restaurant.Following the altercation at the Wagon Wheel — located at 2010 Scurry St. — Everett said the story takes a bizarre turn … directly into a local home."Moments after the altercation at the Wagon Wheel was reported to police, the car Scaggs was a passenger in hit a home in the 500 block of Owens," Everett said. "According to witness statements, Scaggs grabbed the steering wheel while the vehicle was in motion, causing it to leave the roadway and hit the house. That's why he has been charged with criminal mischief."Everett said the damage caused by the crash has not yet been estimated."Scaggs was transported from the scene of the crash to the emergency room at Scenic Mountain Medical Center with minor — if any — injuries," he said. "He was treated and released and taken into custody by the BSPD, after which he was booked into the county detention center."As of press time, bond had not yet been set for the Big Spring man.

Because most ferrets in the United States come from large scale breeders, the majority of ferrets bred here are neutered or spayed at a very early age. Many states have laws that prevent the sale or ownership of whole or "unaltered" ferrets. However, there are small scale ferret breeders around the country, so there is a chance that you may one day find yourself the owner of an unaltered ferret. If that happens, there are a few things you need to know to properly care for your ferret.
Spaying Females
If you bring home a jill, get her spayed before she goes into heat for the first time. Jills generally go into heat for the first time the spring after they are born. If you see signs that your jill is going into heat, get her spayed immediately. The longer you wait to spay her after she goes into heat, the more likely she will develop the medical problems described above, and the more dangerous the spaying procedure can be. Spaying is the removal of the ovaries and the uterus, and having her spayed can save your jill's life.
Unaltered male ferrets are known as "hobs." Hobs have a strong odor and oily skin throughout the breeding season, which starts in early spring and can last up to six months, though most hobs are generally in rut for only about three months. While they are in rut, they mark their territory with a combination of slimy oils and urine that is deposited when they drag themselves across things. They also groom themselves with this combination of oils and urine, which is part of what leads to the strong odor. Hobs tend to have a wide neck and head, and they are significantly larger than neutered males of the same age.
Though hobs are fairly well-behaved when they interact with humans, they are very aggressive towards other male ferrets, both whole and neutered. While these interactions rarely cause serious damage, they can leave one or both ferrets with some wounds and the potential for serious injury is there. Hobs in rut will also try to mate with any female, whether or not the female is spayed. Because of this aggressive behavior, hobs should always be housed separately in their own cage.
Hobs reach sexual maturity around the age of eight or nine months, so you will probably want to get your male neutered when he is six months old. This will allow him to reach sexual maturity, but will avoid the rut. Neutering is removal of both testicles, and it is a less invasive procedure than spaying. Once your hob is neutered, you should see a decrease in odor and oils, a slimming of the head and neck, and significant positive behavioral changes.

Like many Windows IT Pro and Business Technology readers, my relationship with Twitter began with a fair amount of trepidation. I already devoted enough time to Facebook and LinkedIn, I thought. So why should I spend the extra time to learn yet another new social media platform?
Almost three years after creating my Twitter account, I've learned that this popular microblogging service can be an invaluable tool for just about anyone. As a journalist and blogger, I use Twitter to interact with readers, follow industry trends, and share my latest blog posts and articles. For the IT professional or IT executive there are perhaps even more good reasons to use Twitter, since the Twittersphere has emerged as an excellent resource to get help with technical problems, collect advice from your peers, and meet like-minded IT professionals.
IT Hashtag Guide
One of the most effective ways to use Twitter is to leverage hashtags, which are Twitter keywords – preceded with a hash symbol – that help group relevant topics and discussions together. For example, if you'd like to post something on Twitter about problems you're having with Microsoft Office, adding the hashtag #msoffice will likely give your tweet more visibility to people that might be able to help you with your problem.
Hashtags make it much easier to search for and find Tweets about a specific topic. For example, I frequently search for the Twitter hashtag #sysadmin using Twitter search, which makes it easy to see what the IT community is talking about on Twitter at any given moment. (See example #sysadmin search results below.)
In order to help you get the most out of using Twitter as a platform for IT pros and executives, I've compiled a list of some of the most commonly used IT-related hashtags. Using a Twitter hashtag that I don't have on the list? Add a comment to this blog post and I'll add it.
#cfo – Chief Financial Officer
#cio – Chief Information Officer
#cybersecurity – A computer security hashtag
#DevOps - Development Operations
#helpdesk – Help desk
#hyperv – Microsoft Hyper-V discussion
#infosec – Portmanteau for information security
#exchange – Microsoft Exchange
#msoffice – Microsoft Office
#powershell – PowerShell
#security – A common hashtag for security topics, but also includes non-computer security topics
#sharepoint – Microsoft SharePoint
#sqlserver – Microsoft SQL Server
#sysadmin – System administrator; for Tweets related to system and IT administrators
#vmware – VMware virtualization topics
#win7 – Windows 7
#windows – Microsoft Windows
#wp7 – Windows Phone 7
Have any hashtags of your own to share, or have some other tips about getting the most out of Twitter as an IT professional? Let me know what you think by commenting on this blog post or following the discussion on Twitter.

In the most general terms, I am interested in how individual characteristics and contexts transact over time to influence both normal and abnormal developmental. My work has been primarily in the areas of social and emotional development with the overarching theme of my research being exploration of how constitutional characteristics, like temperament and self-regulation, in conjunction with specific environments are predictive of developmental outcomes. In past work, I have looked at how infant temperament, attachment, and heart rate variability predicted later emotional development. My more recent work has focused on older at risk children, looking at how temperament (self-regulatory behavior), culture, and family relationships can be used to predict feelings of self-competence and behavior problems. Currently, I am working on a large longitudinal study with preschoolers attending Head Start that expands on these themes and in addition, looks at ways in which economically disadvantaged minority and non-minority children differ from their non-disadvantaged counterparts in both cognitive and socioemotional development. In the future I plan to extend my work to adolescents to examine how temperament, mental health and parental relations, among other things, influence successful and unsuccessful transition to college life.

Cincinnati ends 3-game slide, beats UConn 61-56
CINCINNATI (AP) — Sean Kilpatrick scored 20 points and made a pair of late free throws Saturday, and Cincinnati ended a three-game losing streak with a 61-56 victory over Connecticut, which was missing its top scorer.
The Bearcats (20-9, 8-8 Big East) got only their second win in their last six games. They split their season series with UConn (19-9, 9-7), which couldn't overcome the loss of top scorer Shabazz Napier, who averages 17.1 points.
After a Cincinnati turnover, Kilpatrick stole the tipped inbound pass, was fouled and made both free throws with 13.1 seconds left for a 59-56 lead. Ryan Boatright turned it over on an over-and-back call with 5.2 seconds left.
Boatright led UConn with 22 points, going 14 of 15 on free throws. DeAndre Daniels added 18 points.
Napier's right foot — which had surgery last year — has been bothering him the last few weeks and was aggravated in a double-overtime loss to Georgetown on Wednesday. The foot had been a chronic problem for Napier, who had a screw inserted in it last September for a stress fracture.
The Bearcats also were missing a player. Forward Justin Jackson wore a boot on his left foot.
Cincinnati's offense has been its biggest problem. With point guard Cashmere Wright in a shooting slump since he sprained his right knee in mid-January, Cincinnati's offense has been bogged down. The Bearcats had scored 52 or fewer points in four of the last six games, including a 62-41 loss at Notre Dame last Sunday.
Wright had 10 points on Saturday, going only 2 of 14 from the field and 2 of 11 behind the arc. Cincinnati was only 12 of 21 on free throws, but scored its last eight points from the line.
Coach Mick Cronin's solution to the lack of offense was to go back to getting points off turnovers. It worked at the outset. Cincinnati scored nine points off seven UConn turnovers. Kilpatrick had a bank shot and a 3-pointer curing a 10-point run that extended the lead to 21-16.
Phillip Nolan and Daniels rallied the Huskies through a 13-3 spurt to finish the half for a 29-24 lead. Daniels had a dunk and an off-balance flip that went in with 4 seconds left in the half, giving him nine points at the break.
Wright made a 3-pointer — his first basket after eight misses — and the Bearcats pulled ahead 46-37 with a 16-4 run that featured a technical foul on Cronin. He yanked off his black jacket, flung it at the floor and yelled at the officials, angry that they didn't make a foul call.
Another 3 by Kilpatrick helped push it to 51-39 with 9:15 left, the biggest lead of the game. Daniels and Boatright scored all the points during a 14-2 run that cut it to 55-53 with 2:19 left, with Boatright hitting seven free throws.
Nolan made the second of his two free throws with 20 seconds left, cutting it to 57-56, but UConn then turned it over twice.

Thanksgiving Turkey Brine
The Ingredients and Method for Brining a Tasty Turkey
"This recipe makes 3 quarts of brine, enough for a 10 to 25 pound turkey. All of the spices and herbs in this recipe add great flavor, if you can't find one for some reason, don't worry, just leave it out."
-Sara Moulton
Recipe adapted from "The New Thanksgiving Table," Diane Morgan, Chronicle Books, 2009
Cooking Directions
For the Brine:
In a large saucepan, stir together the salt, sugar, cloves, juniper berries, peppercorns, and allspice. Add the sage leaves, thyme, and bay leaves along with the hot water. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Boil for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat. Add the ice water and stir to cool the mixture. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
The Method:
Nest 1 plastic oven bag inside the other to create a double thickness (see cook's note below). Place the double bag mouth open wide and facing up, in the roasting pan (Sara's note: if your roasting pan will not fit in your refrigerator, use a very large bowl).
Fold back the top one-third of the double bag to make a collar (this helps keep the bags open). Place the turkey inside the double bag. Unfold the collar of the double bag and pour the brine over the bird, then add 2 cups of cold water. Draw up the top of the inner bag, squeezing out as much air as possible, and secure it closed with a twist tie. Do the same with the outer bag. Turn the package so the turkey is breast side down in the roasting pan (or very large bowl) and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours. Turn the turkey 3 or 4 times while it is brining.
Remove the turkey from the brine. Discard the bags, brine, and any cured herbs or spices remaining on the bird. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels (sanitize the sink afterwards). Place the turkey back in the roasting pan (or on a rimmed sheet pan that is large enough to hold the turkey) and refrigerate, making sure that it touches nothing else in the fridge, uncovered, for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. This resting period allows the skin of the turkey to dry a bit so it is crisp when roasted. The turkey is now ready to be roasted.
Cook's note: Plastic oven bags (made by Reynolds) are found with other food storage bags at supermarkets. Buy the turkey-size bags. They are food-safe, plus they are big, strong, tear resistant, and come with twist ties. Do not use plastic garbage bags, as they are not intended for food storage. I use a double thickness of bags as a precautionary measure against leakage. For the same reason, I place bagged turkey in a roasting pan.

I am actually watching Back to the Future 2 at this moment and reading an article on augmented reality and the progression that MS wants to do with Illumiroom to break the boundaries of our TVs for video games.
Great timing for a topic on reality and our perception and effect on it.
I wish I could fly. What do I need? A plane of some sort.
In my own opinion, this reality should just end. Too much restraint on our every day lives.

"The quantum mind–body problem refers to the philosophical discussions of the mind–body problem in the context of quantum mechanics. Since quantum mechanics involves quantum superpositions, which are not perceived by observers, some interpretations of quantum mechanics place conscious observers in a special position".
"The structure of the multiverse, the nature of each universe within it and the relationship between the various constituent universes, depend on the specific multiverse hypothesis considered. Multiverses have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion, philosophy, transpersonal psychology and fiction, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. In these contexts, parallel universes are also called "alternative universes", "quantum universes", "interpenetrating dimensions", "parallel dimensions", "parallel worlds", "alternative realities", "alternative timelines", and "dimensional planes," among others".
I for one believe time is not linear but that we as humans are limited in our ability to perceive it as anything but linear do to our biological limitations (4th dimensional brain). I am also a firm believer in the Multiverse theory. Every action creates an alternate time line which can be considered an alternate reality or universe. This is due to the nature of observation on reality and that every choice has an infinite amount of outcomes. For those interested in these topics I highly suggest reading Greg Bears "The City at the End of Time". While fiction I believe it to be one of the finest works regarding timelines and the nature of the universe. It's also kick ass hard sci-fi with a dose of Clive Barker-ish dark fantasy thrown in for good measure. If that book doesn't tweak your melon well then I don't know what will....
Sounds real smarty pants so you might have to believe it.
How about we chalk it all up to different perspectives on reality coming from each conscious mind? Makes more sense than multiverses theories and other clever, but utterly useless, ideas.
Well there's no such thing as a useless idea. That's just arrogance, but yes everyone take on reality is different because it's filtered through your mind and experience. The point of the thread was to examine reality in a bit more esoteric and theoretical manner....
Arrogance is a buzzword for attempting to counter positions without a stable defense.
Exploring the "theoretical and esoteric" sides of reality is the product of thinking entirely too much. Most might consider the nature of reality as being a cruel and heartless bitch. To a minority of naive and insipid minds; a fairy tale where everything always works out. Reality is simply what is real, not the trippy, air-headedness musings of believers, whom invented ideas which ultimately lead to the detriment of practical developments for the greater good of humanity.
Theorizing is, at least scientifically, a relatively safe way to think without deluding the frail human consciousness into mere thought alone having any effect on reality. Prayer, for instance, is a delusional state entered into when those who can't and won't accept the difficulty of a real situation need assistance. It is a condition reflex similar to a child's, where they ask of their divine parent for the proverbial milk to console their nervous fidgeting.
Reality is only one thing and one thing alone; the one state of being of all things comprised of matter and energy. It's not magical in the sense of the esoteric. Only science may rationally and sensibly explain the nature of reality outside the primary definition, since it requires proof for it's laws. Faith is immediately discounted, since it requires no proof, rendering it technically insane.
Oh so now you get all philosophical. So then you're saying that your interpretation of reality is in fact the true nature of reality. You just contradicted your previous post with that statement. So if it's not quantifiable it doesn't exist? And if you truly believe there is such a thing as "thinking too much" that is a narrow and arrogant worldview. But hey that's just my opinion. I'm entitled to have both an opinion and an asshole... BTW I totally agree with you on the whole "faith" thing. That's just an excuse for not critically analyzing any of your beliefs...
Come on -Vega- you started this post but haven't said shit. Just posted some youtube video...
If we are assholes for being right, then we are in the highest echelon of assholes.
I have no interpretation reality, as all I stated was the simple and irrefutable definition of reality.
Philosophy is meant to teach wisdom, but what is so wise about taking a philosopher's word for what is true? The only real wisdom is gained from experience. Philosophy often trails off into the bedwetting of self-denial in order to appear upright. When the hallucinatory religious part creeps into it, that's a cue for the people who are "meant to be in control" to stop listening, i.e. blue bloods and "upper crust" people.
As for mine or anyone's beliefs, where does belief, besides justifiable true belief, defined by believing what can be proven, have any place in reality? Why even use the term belief, since it will likely be confused for holding a religious perspective as being true over all others with the possible willingness to die for that idea called fanaticism?
Props, That was a very insightful and well thought out argument. I find no faults with your logic as it is yours and thus true to you. Well played sir!
You can argue with anything, so why not try finding the faults? They are there if you chose to root them out, but what did you do instead just a moment ago? Sarcasm in place of any real effort. If that's the way you see the reality of debate, then I won't try to alter it.
All in red applies to me, every single day, for the last 3-4 months when all of my issues finally snowballed as my world view irreversibly crashed when my brain finally snapped. It took less than a second to occur as a result of preceding events spanning the last 5 years of my life.
This is before I even knew about this philosophically described type of crisis, yet reading it I felt like I was reading some kind of autobiography of myself. It's very, very real, and yet there are people who reject the idea that it's real.
Right now as I write this, distraction and sublimation apply to me. There are some things that you can take the philosophical word for, although sometimes I wish they weren't so damn right..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism Leaving this for anybody in the thread who hasn't heard of the school of thought regarding this.
Speculations. What is real is real, and the idea that it may not be will always remain just that, it may not be real, unsubstantiated and unfounded. Solipism is bad metaphysics and bad philosophy, and is only tenable as pure speculation, because it is unprovable, contrary to the spirit of philosophy, which seeks to prove its own assertions.
Reality is what is commonly observed and observable, anything outside of that is metaphysics, philosophy, insanity, and unproven hypotheses.
