A word of advice from DiyaYou should have a warning for your posts... I was just drinking water as I read this and it's all gone up my nose!!! And now my parents are giving me "Wow! You're such a weirdo!" looks...so everyone consider yourself warned
They decide to split up and search for the shirts. Prithvi starts the search in Damini's closet, Varun starts under the bed and Sameer scans the whole room.
Prithvi: Sameer why don't you go search in the store room.
Sameer: OK
Within minutes Sameer comes back running. He is very very scared.
Sameer: Bhaiyya Bhaiyya wahan cupboard mein.
Prithvi: Cupboard mein kya hai Sameer?
Sameer is barely able to speak and motions that they go with
him to the storeroom.
Prithvi enters the store room
Sameer: Bhaiyya open the cupboard door
Prithvi: What is in there that you are so scared.
Prithvi open the door and jumps back 2 feet and something falls out
Check this out ' this is what falls from the cupboard
Varun: Oh that is Rosh's old teddy. She was upset that she had lost it. I will return it to her. She will be very happy.
He picks it up and hugs it. Prithvi and Sameer look at him like he has lost his mind.
Varun (to himself): I cannot believe these 2 were scared of
this cute teddy.
Prithvi to Sameer: Sameer maksad pe dhyan de. Apna nautanki bandh kar .Hamein unn shirts ko dhoondna hiii hoga. (concentrate on our mission. Stop your drama. We have to find those shirts).
Sameer: Khudh itne dar gaye the aur mujhe daant rahe hain (he was scared too and now he is scolding me). Daantiye bhaiyya.....mere bhi din aayenge (scold me bhaiyya.....my time will also come). Aapko tho Damini bhabhi se padne waali hai (Damini is so going to give you nicely)
Sameer: Bhaiyya you know how big GM is. We need help.
Prithvi: Pagal ho gaya hai (Have you gone mad). We cannot let anyone else know.
Varun: He is right Bhaiyya ' we need help. Why don't you call the security people and tell them about the missing shirts.
Prithvi: What will I tell them if they ask me why the shirts are missing?
Sameer: Bhaiyya koi bahana bana dena.
Prithvi: Teek hai
Prithvi calls all the security people
Prithvi: Listen up. Bahut gupt baat hai ' bahut saavdhani se kaam karna padega (It is a secret matter and we have to be very careful). Damini mam ne mere shirts chupa diye hain (damini has hidden my shirts). We are playing a game ' it is a treasure hunt. Jo koi bhi mere shirts laake dega use inaam milega (whoever brings my shirts will get a prize).
Safari suit 1: Ab ye kya naya majra hai (what is this new confusion now).
suit 2: Damini mam inke shirts kyun chupayege. Zaroor raddhi waale ko
bech diya hoga. Ab khaali phookat dhundna padega.....kuch nahin milne waala (Why will Damini mam
hide his shirts? She must have sold it to the junk buyer for sure. We
are just going to indulge in a useless search....we will find nothing)
Security Gaurd 1: Ab ye kya naya test hai. Lagtha hai Damini mam se shaadi kar ke Prithvi Sir bhi paagal ho gaye hain. (What is this new test now. Looks like he has also gone crazy after marrying Damini mam)
Security gaurd 2: Ye zaroor hamein din mein taarein dikha raha hai. Baarish tho nahin hone waali hai? Check kar leta hoon. (He is definitely showing is stars in the morning. I hope it is not going to rain. Let me check). Wait unless. Haila ek aur naya plan (Another new plan ). God please save us all. Hey bhagwan maine tera kya bigada hai (Oh god. What did I ever do to you)
Security guard 3: Inaam kya hai, sir? (What is the prize)
Prithvi as usual has not thought things through. So he looks at Varun.
Varun (thinking to himself): Ye bhaiyya be mujhe kahan phasa diya. Har baar mujhse he ideas maang the hain. Yeh MK bhaiyya thi itne chalaak hai - kuch ideas kyun nahin dete. Jaldhi soch Varun beta varna bahut pitayee hogi. (Where has this bhaiyya gotten me stuck. He always wants me to think of ideas. Why doesnt he ask MK bhaiyya for ideas - he is so clever Think fast son, else you are going to get beaten up. )
Varun (out aloud): Inaam hai 2 din ki extra chutti pagar ke saath (the prize is 2 extra days paid vacation)
Sameer: aur 5 star hotel mein badiya khana.(excellent food in a 5 star hotel)
Prithvi: Lekin kisi ko kaano kan khabar nahin honi chahiye (no one should find out). Agar kisi ne apna mooh khola to use main naukri se nikal doonga (if anyone squeals I will fire them)
Security gaurd: If he fires me atleast I will be safe from his useless plans
All the security guards are very excited and run off in different directions to find the shirts.
Seeing all this commotion Danny who is passing by comes to speak to Prithvi
Danny: Prithvi Bhaiyya what is happening here.
Prithvi: Damini mam has decided to play a game of treasure hunt with me. She has hidden all my shirts and we have the find them before she gets home today. But she cannot know that others helped me.
Danny: Don't you worry Bhaiyya I will search the stables inside out ' ek bhi stall nahin chodoonda main (I will no stall untouched). Aap ke shirts dhood ke hi main chain loonga (I will rest only after I find your shirts)

"A player for Milan? For the qualities that have seen so far I think so."

Funnily enough though, your reponse reminds me of a quote I hold dear (I should probably say now in advance, I do not think of AA theorists when quoting this.....before you get your knickers in a twist! ):
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Die hard believers are just as closed minded as the skeptics.
Because they can't see any other possibilities that they could be wrong and there could be another explanation other than it can only be an alien space craft.
Open minded people base their conclusions on what the evidence tells them, and do not fit the evidence to what they want to or don't want to believe.
Believing is the opposite of being skeptical. Believers do not require evidence, they accept claims blindly. Skeptics demand evidence because "the proof is in the pudding". An open-minded person is a combination of believer and skeptic. They just aren't sure.
you sound pretty skeptical.

No I don't.
Prove to me that Skeptics don't do what they can to fit the evidence to their conclusions, which is it can't be an alien under any circumstances.
And I have come to believe that UFO belief is another kind of religion, because they can't see any other possibility that they could be wrong.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. What that means I will only believe if I have a body or something like a flying saucer lands on the white House lawn.

It would be the replacement of the "advanced sky beings" that the ignorant primitives are guesstimating exists, hence it would replace any god. ETs would just be another evolved species, not a creation of something that's non-existent.

Man/woman up and call yourself a skeptic. The UFO true believers conflate skeptics with the debunkers. A debunker claims there are no ET UFOs and explains every last sighting in terms of more mundane phenomena. A skeptic doubts things that he/she is told are true, but has been shown no compelling evidence.
The UFO true believer crowd here at ATS has maligned the term skeptic. It should not be a pejorative term. Every sensible person with reasoning ability should be a skeptic about matters they haven't been given proof of. It's the wanna-believers who should be embarrassed.

History is full of lies and things are told in whatever way is more comfortable for the leading country.
The only thing that I disagree about AAT is the way they present it and the way that they start associatimg everything with aliens. I am sure they are wrong about some things.
BUT: The general idea of AAT away from Tsoualos may hold some truth - I gave already examples of things that from just a myth later became and turned out to exist or be true.
I think you are missing the point. The "Debunking" is showing how the AA TV show is filled with misleading and false statements and just outright lies. He doesn't actually debunk what happend in the past, he debunks the Ancient Aliens theory as presented by the HC TV show by a bunch of frauds. maybe watch the video?

How do you test theories of mankind that go back thousands of years, without a time machine, and creating another dimensional reality timeline by going back in time to test such.
Fun out of the way,
You can debunk all you want, doesn't make it true, unless it actually is. Get it? We can say the earth isn't round, but the earth will be round regardless of the debate we have about it. So the fact there is so much bickering over the concept of bickering over this belief of the facts is kinda funny. It's already either fact or not, the problem we have is we don't know, and we fight over that very understanding of it.
Also, it's a 3 hour movie, my god 3 hours is 3 different plot lines in 3 different AA shows, seems they are better at explaining things too.
I just am having a hard time believing other concepts when it's a known fact, there are more than one tree of life in which we evolved from here on earth, meaning one of us species here are not actually from here, maybe all of life isn't from here, with that being said, we are infants even if talking about earth itself, other life is bound to be everywhere we can point at in the night sky, that's just reality, and to think we are the only ones here and we haven't been observed is to walk around with a closed mind and a firm eye on your feet.

Great app..good work I am using samsung galaxy s5 G900F.this app work for me and i check many times after reboot my device blocked app never run .and remeber if u use task killer plz dont kill this app.if u run this app all the way blocked apps dont have any chance to autostart.social app killing my battery.so block them and this is a great app if u can handle this well.thanx devoloper.
It autostarts 3 apps for me It autostarts 3 apps for me just like I want it too. It does exactly what I need it to do. The 3 apps start up right away. But there is a setting to delay apps from starting if I wanted to. My tablet is unrooted. Thank you!
I have 3 apps on my phone (any.do, wifi switcher and calendar mute) that would not restart after reboot . Since I have my phone set to shut down and reboot in the morning automatically this was very problematic. This app seems to have fixed the issue, I had to play around the the delay setting but seems to be working well. Xiaomi Mi5 running Android 6
Simple and effective BUT has stopped working Simple and effective application which used to work for my Galaxy S4 JellyBean rooted phone but now does not on KitKat 4.4.2 (rooted) as it seems the settings aren't being saved - pretty much what the other review says. Could this be fixed please as this was a great app!? Thx.
Works Well, If Configured Properly This simple and needed app does work. Apparently some here haven't figured out how to turn it on or expect selected apps to start instantly. Anyway, it does what it says.
I want to have apps NOT start.. no option for that, kind of complicated to just figure out as well

Gay congressman tells 365gay.com conservative justice's position means now isn't a good time to take gay marriage issue to Supreme Court
WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank called Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia a "homophobe" in a recent interview with a gay news Web site.
In an interview on 365gay.com, the Democratic lawmaker, who is gay, was discussing gay marriage and his expectation that the high court would some day be called upon to decide whether the Constitution allows the federal government to deny recognition to same-sex marriages.
"I wouldn't want it to go to the United States Supreme Court now because that homophobe Antonin Scalia has too many votes on this current court," said Frank. The video of the interview is available online.
Scalia dissented from the court's ruling in 2003 that struck down state laws banning consensual sodomy. He has complained about judges, rather than elected officials, deciding questions of morality about which the Constitution is silent.
Controversial topics like gay rights and abortion should not be in the hands of judges, he has said, calling on people to persuade their legislatures or amend the Constitution.

Back in September, Qualcomm announced that devices armed with their new generation of processors – flag-shipped by the Snapdragon 820 – would be capable of even faster and more efficient charging speeds with Quick Charge 3.0. After the announcement, Rita wrote a great summary of the advantages of QC 3.0 over QC 2.0 that you can read if you want specific details about the upgraded charging standard.
Fast forward seven months and the first QC 3.0 Android devices are finally starting to trickle out to consumers. Since we have one of our best team members writing reviews on QC 3.0 charging devices, we thought it would be nice to keep an updated list of QC 3.0 compatible devices for you, our readers. After doing a thorough search, we've made this comprehensive list of all the Android devices that have been released, or announced, with QC 3.0.
- LeTV Le MAX Pro
- General Mobile GM 5+
- Xiaomi Mi 5
- HTC A9 (QC 3.0 wasn't available at launch, but can be added via an OTA)
- ZTE Axon 7
- Asus Zenfone 3
- HTC U Ultra
Wow, that's a rather disappointingly short list... Most notably absent is the Galaxy S7, which doesn't support the new charging technology or sport a USB Type C port (still don't get why they did this). Hopefully in coming months we'll see more QC 3.0 devices hit the market. We will update this article occasionally with new devices as they are announced. You can also check out Qualcomm's website for a list of compatible devices.
If you need a new charger now, you can go ahead and buy one that supports QC 3.0 if you'd like; they are backwards compatible and will work perfectly with your current QC 2.0 device and will save you from having to buy another one in the near future.
LG V20, welcome to the club. That's all for now folks.

The New South Wales Planning and Environment Department wants two wind turbines at the Gullen Range wind farm moved, after finding the company erected them away from their approved locations.
Investigators from the department found one third of the project's 73 turbines were built more than 50 metres from where they were meant to be.
A spokesman for the department says two turbines built 178 and 167 metres from their approved locations are unacceptable because of their impact on nearby landholders.
"The visual impact is horrendous, this development has in part destroyed the very reason we live where we live."Humphrey Price Jones, Landowner.
But John Titchen, the managing director of Goldwind, the company behind the project, says they should be allowed to remain, arguing the discrepancies are minor in the overall scale of the project.
"Gullen Range wind farms is not convinced that the department's recommendation is warranted."
When the misplacement of the turbines first came to light, Goldwind asked the department to retrospectively vary its planning permit so they could remain in place.
John Titchen says that remains the company's position.
"Our experts have advised that the project is consistent with the planning requirements."
The turbines' fate now lies with an independent planning and assessment commission.
Nearby landholder Humphrey Price Jones say their misplacement has affected his quality of life and property value.
"The visual impact is horrendous. This development has, in part, destroyed the very reason we live where we live."
"It's turned a rural area, a primary producing area into a vast industrial site."
Mr Price Jones argues the company should not be allowed to vary its planning permit.
"It sets a dangerous precedent for other developers who now know, that generally speaking, they can build these things wherever they wish and simply lodge a modification application."
The Upper Lachlan Shire Council had asked the Department of Planning of Environment for a judicial enquiry into the project's approval.
Mayor John Shaw admits the planning and assessment commission (PAC) process now underway, falls short of expectations.
"We just hope that the PAC does the right thing by the people that have put in their submissions and listens to the objectors."
"Obviously it's not going to waylay all [fears] because there were a lot of towers up for dispute.
"In the recommendations there was a suggestion to move two of them. People will obviously be unhappy with that and will want most of them to be removed or moved.
"We'll just have to wait and see," he says.
The PAC could take anywhere from three to eight weeks to rule on the application.
The number of objectors involved mean its decision-making process must include a public hearing.

Say what you will about the non-moves the Mets have made so far this season. We are inundated with hundreds of rumors about the Yankees, Dodgers and Angels making a move for Johan Santana. Countless rumors about pitchers Erik Bedard, Dan Haren Dontrelle Willis and even Scott Kazmir.
Most everyone seems to think the Yankees are a lock, simply because Hank Steinbrenner leaked some details of their negotiations to the media. He lit a fire that is now raging out of control, and in the process left Mets fans wondering…
Why isn't Omar Minaya talking to Minnesota? Or Baltimore? Or even the Oakland A's?
That's the difference between a professional general manager like Omar Minaya, and a non-baseball guy like Hank Steinbrenner. Minaya knows his craft and is very good at it. He operates in stealth mode because he knows that loose lips sink ships… and sink potential deals too.
There was not one sportswriter or analysts who could have predicted that the Mets would trade Guillermo Mota for Johnny Estrada. Not even a hint of a rumor existed. Then to shock of many, Guillermo Mota was banished without even some cash to go with him.
The fact of the matter is that the Mets have already spoken to the Twins, long before the Yankees blurted out their news and showed all their cards. The truth is that Omar may have an ace in the hole. This morning on ESPN radio, Andrew Marchand cited a major league executive who revealed that Twins GM Bill Smith has had talks with Omar Minaya regarding Johan Santana. "Don't count the Mets out" he said.
It would be great to see Santana pitch at Shea this season and another five years in the new Citi Field. But, if it doesn't come to pass, there are still some great options out there, and word has it that Omar is in the mix for pitchers Dan Haren or Erik Bedard.
David Lennon of Newsday had an interesting article today in which he looks closely at the Mets possibly going Dan Haren and possibly even Joe Blanton. Either of them would be a tremendous boost for the rotation.
Next week at this time, it will be an exciting time for Mets fans who have been waiting anxiously for wheeling and dealing to begin.
By the way, it now looks like the Yankees negotiations with the Twins have hit a snag. (That's what happens when they pop the cork before sealing the deal!)

HACKENSACK, NJ (MyFoxBoston.com) -- The sister of accused Boston Marathon bombing suspects Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev appeared in a New Jersey court room Monday on charges stemming from a Dec. 2012 arrest.
Bella Tsarnaeva and her boyfriend, Ahmad Khalil, were indicted on marijuana possession and distribution charges after police responded to their home on reports of a domestic violence incident, reports the Record.
The newspaper claims Tsarnaeva will likely be spared a criminal record by being admitted to a diversion program. She is expected to appear in court next month.

Eleven Indiana counties are splitting $75,000 to build trails designed to encourage tourism.
Dekalb, Grant and Allen counties will each get $7,500 to help fund construction of the Interstate 69 Golf Trail. DeKalb County Convention and Visitor's Bureau Executive Director Richard Martin says the project will entice more golfers to visit the area.
"Visitor will be able to get golf packages to commend the counties and stay overnight and play golf on one course one day and another course the second day. And the whole thing is to honestly drive tourism to our counties and hopefully they'd stay and see some of the other things that we have."
Indiana Tourism Director Amy Vaughan says Indiana has a number of championship courses that are affordable. She says the golf season, which begins in March and continues through October, brings people along I69 from Michigan to the area.
"Indiana has 62 million visitors each year and those visitors spend about $10 billion, and what we know about the golf market though is that it's a very small market it's a small niche," Vaughan says. "But, typically golfers stay longer and spend more money. So the golf market is a very attractive demographic.
Martin says the trail is expected to be open sometime in June. Other grant recipients include the City of Bloomington – which was approved for a mobile application. Daviess County also received funding for a geocaching trail.

Chinese Surveillance Market Grows by 30% In 2011
The video surveillance market is growing by over 30% a year in China, according to latest figures.
IMS Research estimate the market was worth $2.6 billion in 2011, a 30% increase on the previous year.
Phenomenal growth and large infrastructure projects in the country have been driving investment in surveillance but this has slowed in 2011 with high-seed railway projects being delayed or stopped and investment in city surveillance declining.
IMS research analyst, Chery Li, said: "Due to the increasing demand for high resolution images, network security products, especially network cameras, gained market share in 2011. In fact, network camera revenue increased 130 percent in 2011. In addition, the growth also benefited from the increasing number of participants in the market. It should be noted that competition also reduced pricing, which is an important element in the market.
High definition is a definite trend for the video surveillance market in China over the next few years. Besides network security products, HD-SDI products also gained greater attention. However, HD-SDI products are still expensive, and lack of a complete HD solution in the market. As a result, we estimated that it only had limited shipments in 2011.
The market is forecast to continue growing at a rate of 20% for the next five years, reinforcing some of the findings of Memoori last month, including that China would be the largest physical security market by 2020.
With GDP growth in 2012 forecast to drop below 8% for the first time in eight years in China, and amidst the backdrop of the new Chinese Communist Party leadership being announced earlier this month the future for the China video surveillance market is not perhaps as certain as these figures may suggest.
However, that doesn't mean that this market will undoubtedly remain one of the largest growth areas for surveillance distributors with more and more end users requiring systems each year.

Allow me to be the fist to point it out: Jonathan Haidt is not an economist. Why then is he getting attention on a site dedicated to slamming economists who aren't Austrian? The answer is obvious: Haidt has some significant insights and tremendous truths to share, but because he is not an Austrian he misses out on some key points. So here we are.
I've got to say I love his book, The Righteous Mind. Episodes 429 and 676 of The Tom Woods Show are two of my favorites just because Haidt was the guest. He was also one of the most interesting guests Stephen Colbert ever had.
My issue with Haidt is that throughout his book he deals only with ultimate ends. This may be obvious in the field of religion but is often confusing when it comes to politics. Sometimes the issue is one of ultimate ends – such as pro-life versus pro-choice – where values collide. Autonomy and self-ownership versus the value of life itself.
Sometimes the issue is one of mere means, such as debates about education. Perhaps if it were ever to be proven that children were educated better under a condition of free market education, all those who attack school voucher programs and support teacher unions would change their tune. If it were proven in favor of the other side, perhaps homeschoolers and advocates of free market education would vote for higher taxes to support better government schools and send their children there accordingly. The goal for both sides is that children be well-educated. Despite what each side might say about the other, neither wants the next generation to be illiterate, innumerate, and dull-witted.
It is this very type of disagreement, with all its vitriol and hostility, that I expected to be explained and remedied when I first picked up Haidt's book and read the title. Much, maybe most of politics is a lot more exciting than it should be.
Let's look at a few supposed "hot button" issues that aren't all that hot at all:
Minimum Wage – Neither side wants people to be poor.
Foreign Intervention – Neither side wants terrorists to attack America.
Gun Control – Neither side wants people to die from mass shootings.
Education – Neither side wants children to be uneducated.
Central Bank/Monetary Policy – Neither side wants recessions.
Government Healthcare vs Free Market Healthcare – Neither side wants high medical costs nor difficult to attain health services.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. I would venture most of the disagreements we have are over "means" issues rather than "ends" issues. Haidt has no answers for this predicament, but he does have a great theory about riders and elephants. (If you read my blog, but don't listen to the The Tom Woods Show, you deserve to be confused. Listen to Episode 429) In The Righteous Mind, as well as in his first episode with Tom Woods, Haidt explains that our rational mind has the sort of unbiased decision making much as a Judge would fair riding on an elephant. He essentially argues that the elephant (our emotions or intuitions) are what guide our decision making while the rider (or Judge, our reason) is mostly there to justify the action taken. While the Judge can rein in his elephant and act according to reason rather than emotion, most of the time the elephant is allowed to be in control and the Judge is just hanging on for the ride.
A problem such as working on a Rubik's cube isn't in an intuitional burden until you are frustrated enough to stop working on it and you crush the damn thing with your bare hands. The question I want answered by Haidt is simple: Why do so many people remain emotional with problems and fail to go into problem-solving mode? Why do libertarians get called names for advocating a monetary system that can't be controlled by political appointees? I don't think I will ever again argue about abortion, or gay marriage, or other such hot button issues. Not because I don't have strong feelings about them, but because they are disagreements over ends and as Mises alluded to in Human Action: If you can't quickly convince someone that they have the wrong ends, you never will.
But the crux of most matters relate to disagreements over means and not ends. Whatever the dispute, I feel duty bound to argue the case for freedom, because that is what works. Here Haidt's book only scratches the surface. Why can't people analyze these problems like chess players analyze a chess position? Why are they so emotional, sometimes just plain hostile, to those who disagree? How can people fail to see the winning move even when it is shown to them by another? Why are they so stubborn? And why do people get, or remain, emotional over a controversy based purely on logic and reason and not at all on subjective values?
Yet, might there be a seventh pillar? You can teach your kids how to eat the right way: to use a fork, or chopsticks, and chew with their mouth shut. If they don't get it right, they haven't hurt anyone. At worst they are offensive in certain settings, but people remain unscathed. However, there are right ways and wrong ways to do things. If a man builds a bridge ineffectively and it collapses and kills those traveling across it or if a "doctor" uses the old Anglo-Saxon trick of rubbing horse manure into a wound and the patient becomes septic, these people have made situations and lives worse. If it can be reasonably demonstrated through logic or experience that one method is preferable over another or certain practice is ill-advised, would it not be immoral to purposefully ignore this evidence and continue on with policies which negatively affect people? I think so.
At some point you have to admit doing things in certain ways, the means, is immoral. A command economy is immoral. We could use the extreme example of North Korea, whose policies lead to the death of hundreds of thousands or millions through starvation. The minimum wage is immoral because it hinders young people without a skill set from entering the work force or people in need of a second chance might not be able to get an honest job because no one wants to take the risk to hire them when they are required to pay them the same amount as another who has kept his nose and record clean. The War on Drugs is a near perfect example of immorality because it invigorates black markets, encourages violence, increases reckless drug use, and causes more broken homes and more death.
Haidt does touch on one subject that is a means issue when he discusses libertarians towards the end of his book. He makes the case for healthcare reform, but it seems that he entirely misses the fact that he has transitioned from argumentation over the ends to argumentation over the means. It is the only example anywhere in his book that deals with means.
In another place of note, he brings up the death penalty; an unusual issue as it can be argued on either the merits of ends ("It is always wrong to kill another human," or "Justice demands the life of a murderer.") or of means (whether or not the death penalty works as a deterrent or a counter deterrent). The death penalty is one of the few issues where there are four possible sides to take.
In some ways perhaps my criticism isn't fair. Maybe Haidt, like many other great scientists and philosophers, answers one question only to raise a dozen more. While Mises had a firm handle on means versus ends and addressed it nearly 100 years ago, I hope one day Haidt or another psychologist can help break down the barriers for those who stick to their elephants of emotion rather than grappling with matters pertaining to logic and reason. It is a wonderful idea to consider what a sequel book would look like if Haidt were an Austrian. If you read Human Action directly before you read The Righteous Mind you can come up with some ideas as to what that book might look like. Perhaps Mises' The Anti-Capitalist Mentality would be a heavy influence on such a paper.
But Haidt isn't an Austrian and I'm not a psychologist. As a combined result of reading Mises and Haidt, I have decided that in any argument I'm in I should ask what is the other person's aim. I will try to get them to dismount their elephant of intuition and sit down at the chess board of logic and reason.
"Why do you want 'X' to happen!?"
"WOW! What do you know? I want that too!"
"What if we could get there better by another route? Would you be interested? If not, why?"
The question "Why?" is indispensable. Whether "X" is providing for the poor, children being educated, or a reduction in drug use we have to ask what is the best way to get there.

I love a plan. I like knowing what's going to happen, how it's going to happen, and where it's going to happen. And I'd like to know what will happen if the original plan changes. I sometimes plan for worst case more than best case, just so I'm ready for the tougher road.
But even then, the unexpected happens and I'm really thrown. Not so much on the small things, because for those I've usually planned to be flexible. (side note: I've always planned for flexibility or spontaneity which can seem like lack of plan, but is just my own crazy plan!). But when big changes are going on, I've always struggled.
That's when I have to be reminded that I don't hold the plans. I can't see the whole picture. I can let go.
I never planned to be the sister of a missing person. Then once I was, I never planned to stay on this journey for a year, much less five. I never planned for a lot of other changes. Like having our youngest son, finding a new career path, making friendships with unexpected people, or having my mom part of daily life…. if life followed all my plans, I'd miss out on so much.
His plans are better than mine could ever be.
I'll just keep reminding myself. A lot.

R. and I took a stroll down Museum Mile last weekend and stopped in at the Guggenheim Museum, among other places. I tried to explain to R. how, as an art history major, I wrote a research paper on the construction of the Guggenheim, but she wasn't interested. The pretty entrance marquis lights by French artist Philippe Parreno (part of the Guggenheim's "theanyspacewhatever" exhibition) were of much more interest (plus they kept us toasty warm on a cold windy day):
The famous spiral, from the outside:
And, take a look at this artwork by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan (which critic Walter Robinson cleverly called "Disney Goth"). R. was skeptical ("I've never seen a dead Pinocchio before…") Only in New York!

Chile rejects bishops' call for clemency for Pinochet-era criminals
July 26, 2010
President Sebastian Pinera of Chile has rejected a call by the nation's bishops to consider pardoning some persons convicted of human rights violations during the military regime of Augusto Pinochet (1973-90). Arguing against a blanket pardon or a blanket refusal to pardon, the bishops had stated that those imprisoned have differing degrees of responsibility for their crimes and that some have repented.
In its coverage of the story, The New York Times failed to mention that the bishops had also requested that the president consider showing clemency to women prisoners with children, to elderly prisoners, and to terminally ill prisoners-- in some cases reducing their sentences, in others setting them free-- if they no longer constitute a danger to society and have shown good behavior in prison.

Our database server suffered a major power outage at 10:07PM EST on Sun, Sep 6. Upon powering back up, we experienced some database corruption and we initiated data recovery at 10:47PM. The recovery process finished at 12:47AM.
After preliminary inspection, we seemed to have lost perhaps about 1 hour to 4 hours of posts and other data just prior to 10PM. However, we are unsure of posts that have been edited during that timeframe, so we advise that you check recent and older postings, especially those that are long and not easily reproducible (ie: thread listings, artwork, etc.)
We have a recent backup that we can use to recover such postings, if you give us the full URL to the posting. This link can be found by clicking on the "Post #" link to the right of the posting date inside a thread.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Our current budget doesn't give us a whole lot of power backup time. When power fails, we generally have about 15 minutes before servers begin powering down. The servers generally save as much data as possible before losing power but we didn't get much of a heads up with this.
UPDATE: For those of you experiencing the phenomenon where a large chunk of posts reappear within a thread when making a new post, it's because the topics data and the posts data aren't in sync. Making a new post will trigger a resync for the thread.
It won't bring back everything but it does retrieve quite a bit. I know this isn't a great approach, but let's just say that I was literally holding my breath for about 2 hours hoping that I won't need to go back to last Thursday's backup. This could've been much worse.
UPDATE 2: I can bring whole threads back from the dead too. So far I've resurrected 3 threads (they had 791 posts, 11k posts and 21k posts, respectively). All i need is the original link to the thread and I can try to recover as many posts as I can. Would also be nice to have following info as well: topic title, topic description, number of views, forum it belonged to.
UPDATE 3: Same goes for accounts. I'll need a link to a post where the user has posted. Then I can attempt to recover. So far got 4 accounts raised from the dead!
Also, if you have lost a thread and don't have a link. Try the Search feature by Google on the IDF homepage. Try searching for words and if you see it in the search results, copy the link and I can work with that. Also look in your browser history, in case you might've visited the thread recently. It will be a dead link now but I still need the link url.
UPDATE on Sep 7 regarding 2nd outage: Well, I'm fairly annoyed. Apparently our hosting facility didn't actually experience a power outage yesterday. Apparently, it was fan failure inside our server. The server runs on 2 CPUs and the fan on one of them died. Without a fan, the CPU runs super hot. To prevent the CPU from overheating, the server generally powers down after reaching a certain temperature.
Today, it happened again as soon as the traffic started increasing. The server didn't lose power....it simply powered down to prevent hardware damage. Luckily, there is no additional data loss this evening. Some of the tricks I put into the server last night seemed to have paid off and data is saved on an hourly basis now. So even if it happens again (which it shouldn't, since we simply removed the 2nd CPU for now until we can buy a new fan), we shouldn't experience more than an hour's worth of data loss.
Sorry again for the outage. Unfortunately, hardware failure is a reality, no matter what kind of site you're running. We'll keep trying until we get it right. Thanks to everyone who've reported missing threads and accounts from last night's outage. If you notice threads missing, please PM me with the necessary info above. No need to feel rushed...the post data from missing threads will always be there. Even a year from now, we'd still be able to revive vanished threads.

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey is screening at Melbourne's ACMI until Monday 30th January 2012. This Sundance award-winning documentary follows the life and work of Kevin Clash, the puppeteer and voice of one of Sesame Street's most beloved characters, Elmo.
As a child Kevin was an obsessive of puppetry and Jim Henson's work, getting a job as a teenager performing with his home-made puppets on a local Baltimore TV show in the 70s. Driven by his passion, Clash eventually found his way to Sesame Street and created an iconic character for millions of children. Constance Marks' film follows Clash, Sesame Street's Senior Puppet Coordinator, Muppet Captain and the Workshop's Senior Creative Consultant, as he goes about work on set, meets with sick children who love Elmo and travels to teach puppeteers in France how to bring Sesame Street's characters to life.
Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, the film takes us into the Sesame Street workshop and behind the scenes of the celebrated TV show, which has captured the imagination of generations of children around the world.
This documentary is light and frothy, missing moments for more in-depth analysis of Clash and his ambitious nature. Marks is perhaps too reverential to her subject and skips over the tougher questions. But for fans of Sesame Street, which lets face it is most of us, this film offers an opportunity to slip into some childhood nostalgia and wonder at the magnificence of Jim Henson's legacy.

Lanny Jarvis, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, began working for the Postal Service in 1988 after a medical examination determined that he was fit for duty despite several war injuries. Ten years later, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD). In 2002, he transferred to the Spanish Fork postal facility in Utah and started experiencing PTSD-related incidents with coworkers.
Here is what led up to his firing:
A Vietnam veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder posed a threat to others and was properly terminated by the U.S. Postal Service, but USPS failed to explain why he was denied pay, leave, and disability retirement, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled Aug. 30, remanding the case on those issues
On two occasions, Lanny Bart Jarvis struck and kicked a co-worker when she startled him, and he later struck another co-worker who shoved him in passing. He was able to restrain himself from striking his manager when she startled him.Jarvis told the supervisor he had PTSD and asked that co-workers be told to announce themselves before approaching him.
When Jarvis was terminated after an investigation, he sued under the Rehabilitation Act in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, which ruled for USPS. That court found that the risk of violence could not be eliminated by a reasonable accommodation because the accommodation Jarvis sought—that co-workers announce themselves—would not eliminate the possibility that he might be startled accidentally. His request was not reasonable, the district court said, because it attempted to shift to co-workers the burden of preventing him from engaging in violence.
Qualification at Issue
"The postal service does not dispute on appeal that Mr. Jarvis is an individual with a disability," the Tenth Circuit said. "The issue before us is whether he is 'otherwise qualified,' " it said.
The Americans with Disabilities Act, which provides guidance in Rehabilitation Act cases, defines "qualified individual with a disability" as one who "with or without a reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the employment position," the court said. "In other words, one who cannot perform the essential functions of the job, even with a reasonable accommodation, is not an 'otherwise qualified' individual," the court said.
An Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulation defines "direct threat" as a "significant risk of substantial harm to the health or safety of the individual or others that cannot be eliminated or reduced by reasonable accommodation," the court said. The rule states that the factors at issue include the duration of the risk, the nature and severity of the potential harm, the likelihood that the potential harm will occur, and the imminence of the potential harm, it said.
"In our view, the record compels the conclusion that the postal service's determination that Mr. Jarvis was a direct threat was an objectively reasonable decision," the court found.
In addition to Jarvis's three assaults on co-workers, evidence included a letter from Jarvis's health-care provider stating that his PTSD was unlikely to dissipate and that he was a threat in the workplace. USPS also relied on Jarvis's own statements that his PTSD was getting worse, that he could no longer stop at the first blow, and that, if he hit someone in the right place, the blow could be fatal, the court said.
"Based on this evidence, three of the four factors in the EEOC regulations—duration, imminence, and likelihood—were clearly met," the court said. Jarvis's "symptoms would last indefinitely, he could erupt at any moment if startled, and it was highly likely that someone would startle him, even if inadvertently."
"The postal service was not required to ignore the risk of inadvertent startling," the court said, affirming the district court's dismissal of Jarvis's discrimination claim.
However, with regard to Jarvis's retaliation claims, the appeals court said USPS "has not explained why Mr. Jarvis was denied the opportunity to retire rather than be terminated or why he was denied pay and access to accrued vacation and sick leave while he was on administrative leave." As a result, the court said, it was necessary to reverse the dismissal of those claims and send them back to the trial court for further proceedings.

A harrowing "end of the world" song, 'World Painted Blood', the title track from SLAYER's most recent release, has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of "Best Metal Performance". This is the band's fifth Grammy nod, having taken home the prize twice, first for 'Eyes Of The Insane' in 2006, and then again with 'Final Six' in 2007, both in the "Best Metal Performance" category.
"I admit, I'm excited and kind of surprised," said Slayer's bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, who co-wrote (with guitarist Jeff Hanneman) 'World Painted Blood'. "To have Slayer's music recognized by an organization as traditional as the Grammys – five times now – is like that gold star that someone puts up by your name. It's unexpected, but it's cool."
The 'World Painted Blood' nomination caps off one of the band's most challenging yet successful years of its career. Beginning with Araya's successful neck surgery that now has him pain-free, Slayer went on to co-headline (with MEGADETH) the Canadian and American Carnage tours, a UK/European headline dates, the historic summer series of Big Four Sonisphere European concerts with METALLICA, Megadeth and ANTHRAX, and the recently completed Jagermeister Fall Music Tour that Slayer co-headlined with Megadeth and featured Anthrax.
Slayer's 2011 will launch with a slew of major Australian festivals, with more North American news to be announced.
The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will take place in Los Angeles at Staples Center on Sunday, February 13th, 2011, and will air live on the CBS Television Network from 8 – 11:30 PM (ET/PT). As a result of last year's earlier show and Awards process dates, this year the eligibility dates for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards are September 1st, 2009, through September 30th, 2010. (This year will mark a 13-month eligibility period.)
Following are the nominations in the Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance, Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance categories:
Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance
ERIC CLAPTON – 'Run Back To Your Side'
JOHN MAYER – 'Crossroads'
PAUL MCCARTNEY – 'Helter Skelter'

DERBY, Kansas — Police are searching for a male suspect who stabbed a woman at a 4th of July party.
It happened around 5 p.m. Wednesday in the yard at a home on the 700 block of South Woodlawn in Derby.
The victim, only described a woman in her 20's, was taken to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita where she was in surgery Wednesday evening and listed in serious condition, hospital officials said.
The male suspect, Jared Lee Woosypiti, fled the scene in an unidentified vehicle that Derby police believe was later recovered in Wichita, and remains on the loose. Police know his identity, but have not publicly released any information about him. Instead, they are distributing his information to neighboring law enforcement agencies to locate him, according to Derby police chief Robert Lee.
The suspect had a prior relationship with the victim, although it was unknown whether they were dating or estranged, Lee said.
Woosypiti's description:
White Male
24 years old
5′ 10″ tall and approximately 210 lbs
Brown hair and brown eyes
May be driving a light blue 2006 Dodge Caravan with "Woodbridge Home Exteriors" on the front driver and passenger doors
Last seen wearing a bulky gray sweatshirt
If you have any information on Woosypiti's location, call the Derby Police Department Investigations section at (316) 788-1557 or Derby Crime Stoppers at 788-TIPS (8477). If you encounter Woosypiti, call 911 immediately. Please do not attempt to apprehend the suspect as he is considered armed and dangerous.

Scot McCloughan said his team would draft a quarterback and they made that come true with the second fifth-round pick with Ball State's Nate Davis. He is said to be able to throw without the laces. Not considered to be highly-touted choice, only one team showed up to the pro day and that was the local Indy Colts.
We just had Davis on the conference call and he said he prefers to throw without the laces. It started in high school when he was playing in a pure shotgun scheme. At Ball State, he said he was under center about 30 percent of the time.
Davis also said that he has a learning disability, which was the reason the 49ers had him out for a visit. Davis said it takes him longer than most to read and write, but didn't describe himself as dyslexic. Quarterbacks coach Mike Johnson got him up on the board and Davis said he was fine scripting plays.
Davis fell in the draft after finishing his career with two bad games, one in cold weather and the other in MAC championship game. Davis said the only difference between himself and top prospects Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez is that they played for a big program. Interestingly, NFLdraftscout.com compared Davis to Alex Smith.

You are filing your tax return. By aggressively interpreting the tax law, you see a way you can take a deduction that would save you $10,000. Your accountant tells you that if you are audited, the IRS will definitely disallow the deduction, but that it would be considered a misinterpretation of the rules and not an attempt at fraud, so there would be no penalty or prosecution.
You receive a laudatory performance evaluation at work that gives you credit for several important things you were responsible for, and one important thing that you weren't. You see why your supervisor thinks you did it, but you didn't. The person who deserves credit has left the company, so this mistake will certainly go unnoticed, and will do no harm to someone else. It's a fairly important thing to officially have credit for, tucked away there in the files.
In an antique store, you rummage through a box of 20 cheap old watches. They're selling for $2 apiece, or $25 for the whole lot. You find one watch in there that is gold and that you know to be worth at least $300. It is clear that the store has no idea such a valuable item has been included with junk, and that if they did, they'd pull it from sale or ask a lot more money for it.
(Note: Generally, a merchant is not legally obligated to sell merchandise at an accidentally mislabeled, too-low price, once the mistake is noted.)
