Oh how I love these Balenciaga boots! They're one part punk, one part grunge and make a serious statement. I think my rebellious side loves them because they are reminiscent of Dr. Martens which I was not allowed to wear in the 90′s. My mom said they were "gang shoes" ….yeah she actually said that. Anyway, I love the idea of pairing it with a feminine skirt, dainty dress or even with jean shorts like in the picture above.

This summer, flat sandals are getting a little fancy with adornments like spikes, metal plates and my favorite, jewels. As the heat rises, I have been turning to my sandals more and more and I wouldn't mind adding one of these bejeweled versions into the mix.

minister cafe
The Minister Cafe in Poland is based on the concept of the brand Minister Beer. The entire concept of the cafe is a combination of the visual identification of the brand and the interior of the cafe. Which they did very well. We really like the combination of concrete, wood and the soft grey fabrics. The wooden floor makes it a bit more rustic.
So, going to Poland, visit the Minister Cafe for a cup of coffee.. or beer :)

BK fries hit your grocer's freezer
Burger King is ramping up its frozen food and snack lines in an effort to tap into bigger sales.
The debate over whose fries are better, Burger King (BKC) or McDonald's (MCD), is one of the oldest fast-food fights in the industry. But rather than just limit the debate to the drive-thru window, Burger King has changed the battlefield to the supermarket aisles.
How? Well, with a new line of frozen foods that include crinkle-cut French fries and healthy apple fries coming soon to your grocer's freezer. There's even a healthy line of Apple Fries, with the fruit skinned and cut to look like French fries and packaged in that familiar BK cardboard cup.
The new line of fries includes King Krinkz seasoned crinkle-cut fries, which should already be available at most grocers freezers, and planned offerings in the coming months of King Kolossalz extra-large fries and King Wedgez seasoned potato wedges. The BK Fresh Apple Fries will be available this fall.
This is on top of a recently launched line of snacks that include ketchup and fries potato chips, crispy onion ring-flavored snacks and crisps that taste like Burger King's famous French toast sticks. Inventure Group has already shown it can successfully bridge the gap between restaurants and grocery stores with its line of TGI Friday's snack foods.
As the recession cut into consumer spending, sales dipped at many restaurants as consumers looked to keep down their costs and prepare food themselves. In order to tap into that stream of cash many restaurants have opted to cash in at the grocery store. Take recent offerings of Starbucks ice Cream, bottled drinks and more meant for retail sale outside its coffee shops.
The business can be quite lucrative. California Pizza Kitchen (CPKI), for instance, has been selling its branded pizzas in supermarkets since 1998. Last year, as the economy worsened, grocery sales of frozen California Pizza Kitchen pizza increased 19.6% to $159 million.
Will Burger King's fries taste just as good at home as they do fresh from the deep fryer? Perhaps. But with frozen food sales at grocery stores racking up about $30 billion in annual sales, the potential for profits is much more mouthwatering for investors than the idea of BK fries at home.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
During Wrath of the Lich King, I tamed my alt-itis and focused narrowly on only one or two characters through most of the expansion so that I could actually raid for once. Once Cataclysm rolled around, however, time constraints (on top of other things relating to the new guild setup, a lack of decent PuGs, all that early weirdness surrounding healing, etc.) completely killed my ability--and then desire--to raid at all.
As a result, I willingly relapsed into alt-itis in a big, big way. I now have eight toons I'm working on, every class except warrior & DK, each with a separate tradeskill, and I'm actually kinda having a blast (there were several classes, specs, and professions that I either never tried before or haven't tried in at least a couple years that I'm trying out now, for example). I still run five-man content with guildies on my main, but other than that I'm just alt leveling, tradeskill leveling, and going for whatever achievements can be obtained with a maximum of 3-5 people in heroic dungeon gear. If the opportunity to raid comes up, I'll raid, but it's no longer a priority, and doesn't look very likely (being on a roleplay server where actual roleplaying occurs tends to lead to a lack of solid raiding guilds to run with, but I roleplay and I like my server so I have no intention of leaving).

HoopsHype DeAndre Jordan rumors
Adrian Wojnarowski: Clips, Blazers talked on DeAndre Jordan prior to Doc Rivers' hiring, sources say, but Portland interest and Jordan market value unclear now. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Jordan has been in the league for five years already, but he is still a month away from his 25th birthday. As a bulky (6-11, 265) center who is still developing, it is a surprise that L.A. would be willing to part with him. But Jordan has had his problems with coaching, and with the Clippers last year, he wanted to be more involved with the offense. A source close to the situation said that coach Vinny Del Negro was reluctant to do that, in part because he wanted Jordan to be in better shape, and also because Jordan's abominable free-throw shooting (38.6 percent). This did not come as a surprise around the league, because one reason that Jordan fell into the second round of the 2008 draft was because of his clashes with then-Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon. Sporting News
If the Celtics were to wind up with Jordan, his approach to the game and work ethic would be Job No. 1. The source close to the Clippers said that Jordan actually did a lot more work with assistant coaches Marc Iavaroni and Dave Severns in the past year, and that he had begun to show improvement. Sporting News
A long proposed swap of Garnett for Clippers center DeAndre Jordan had been given second priority during the Rivers discussions. But Garnett, who has veto power over any trade, may not have many other locations he will approve. The Clippers made sense to the 37-year-old center because of his home in Malibu, and the chance to continue playing for Rivers. Asked if this could mean a Garnett return to the Celtics for next season, the source said, "KG in Boston is a very good option." Boston Herald
According to the source, the league notified both teams roughly a week ago that the basics of negotiations — Rivers and Kevin Garnett for center DeAndre Jordan and two first round draft picks — would not work under CBA guidelines. Boston Herald
John Canzano: DeAndre Jordan on rumors: "I'm not really worried about it, or focused on it… I'm preparing for next season wherever that will be."#Clippers Twitter @JohnCanzanoBFT
John Canzano: .#Clippers C @DeAndre Jordan "if we keep our team together and a few new pieces, next year and years to come, we'll be a contender." Twitter @JohnCanzanoBFT
John Canzano: Jordan said he supports the #Clippers decision to not retain Vinny Del Negro, "I can't wait to see who the next coach is going to be." Twitter @JohnCanzanoBFT
The Celtics and Clippers, sources said, were searching Thursday afternoon for new deal constructions to alleviate the league's reservations about L.A.'s intent to trade young center DeAndre Jordan for Garnett and separately send two first-round picks to Boston as compensation for Rivers' coaching rights. But it was not immediately clear if they could successfully come up with a new structure that NBA commissioner David Stern would sanction. ESPN.com
Mark Heisler: If--that's IF--#Celtics and #Clippers are talking to NBA lawyers, sounds like teams agreed on KJ-DJ trade, two No. 1 ifs LAC signs Doc Twitter @MarkHeisler
Marc Stein: Source tells ESPN that Celts & Clips have today begun discussing new trade scenarios to try to satisfy league's misgivings on these deals Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Last tweet means that Celts/Clips deals -- IF agreed -- won't necessarily take form of DeAndre Jordan & two firsts going to Boston Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
The Clippers' Jordan, in an appearance on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on Thursday, said he understands "it's a business" and wouldn't have any hard feelings for the team that drafted him if he's shipped out. "I've been with the Clippers since I was 19," Jordan said. "That's all I know. I love L.A., I love the Clippers, I love my teammates and everything we stand for. [But if he's traded] I'll still be doing the thing I love, and that's playing basketball every day. No matter what team I'm on, I'll still be having a great time." ESPN.com
Chris Forsberg: DeAndre Jordan on ESPN radio: "No matter what team I'm on, I'll still be having a great time." -- es.pn/146FDRV Twitter @ESPNForsberg
Wojnarowski said the deal makes perfect sense for Garnett, who has a chance to compete for a championship with the Clippers and does not have to play 37 minutes per night. However, he also said trading Garnett and his no-trade clause to the Clippers makes sense for the Celtics, who can use Jordan and the two first-round picks to help rebuild. "For the Celtics, I really think this is a win-win," Wojnarowski said. "They wanted Doc to be their coach. They weren't trying to run him out. But when he expressed his desire to do this, to get two first-round picks out of this, to get a young player, DeAndre Jordan, who they like but they don't love him — I think everyone in the league feels his contract, he is overpriced. But I know DeAndre is excited about coming to Boston. He feels like maybe it has run its course with him and the Clippers. Maybe he will develop better in Boston. This is a situation where Boston is ready to do this, too. They are not sending Doc away angrily." WEEI.com
Baxter Holmes: Source tells Globe that CP3's camp believes 2 1st-round picks + DeAndre Jordan is small price to pay for Doc & KG. Twitter @BaxterHolmes
Although sources stressed that final details were still being worked out, one trade would be a straight player swap sending Clippers center DeAndre Jordan for Garnett, with the second move calling for Boston to receive two first-round draft picks as compensation for freeing Rivers from his Celtics contract. ESPN.com
However, ESPN.com has learned the teams will have at least one more hurdle to clear even if they finally agree to a trade framework after days of talks and multiple breakdowns in discussions. Sources say the Clippers and Celtics, to push the trade through, will have to convince the league office that the deals were not contingent upon each other. According to NBA rules, side agreements or contingencies are prohibited in any trade or free-agent signing. Rules also prohibit coaches from being traded; teams can convey cash or draft picks as compensation to get a coach under contract released from those obligations. ESPN.com
Marc Stein: Most likely framework, amid signs of progress in talks, remains DeAndre Jordan for KG & two first- rounders for Doc Rivers' coaching rights Twitter @ESPNSteinLine

A collection of drabbles written for iyfic_challenge, iyfic_contest, Isswkiwa, and my own amusement
"Not that I miss our morose, temperamental friend, but what IS he doing?!"
Kagome sighed, refusing to look at InuYasha as they trotted after the next jewel shard. "We saw 'The Phantom of the Opera' this weekend." She explained following Miroku's gaze, "and he's been like that ever since."
A blur of red cloth and black cloak landed before her, an ivory white mask staring back at her as the music once again began to spill from his lips; a slow, throbbing melody that did terrible things to her virgin mind. He moved closer, his arms wrapping around her, his lips inches from her ear, his breath hot on her neck.
"What raging fire shall flood the soul, what rich desire unlocks its door. What sweet seduction lies before us..."
Staring into his amber eyes she wondered if it been such a good idea to suggest some culture in their lives, then again...
Phantom of the Opera belongs to the sex god Erik - and Andrew Webber too.

Valdosta - It started with a 911 call at 8:39 this morning. "Dispatch all stations, all units. We have an alert three at the Valdosta Airport," says a 911 operator.
In this scenario, a twin engine plane crashed at the Valdosta Airport. All passengers on board, seriously injured. "Initially the call was for two people, one on the ground and one in the cockpit. After the simulated fire was knocked down, we found there were more inside," says Lowndes County Fire and Rescue Chief Jim Fielding.
Within minutes, the fire department and EMS are hard at work. All five passengers taken care of.
This scenario was a drill to see if law enforcers were prepared to handle an accident of this magnitude. A test the fire department says these teams passed with flying colors. "It went real smooth. All agencies worked well together and we were one giant team," he adds.
Which is good news to airport officials considering about 50 small aircraft like these are based in Valdosta and getting a call would happen at any time. "Fortunately we haven't had any accidents in quite a while here but we need to be ready for it," says Airport Director Bob Holliway. "I think they are definitely prepared for any type of emergency out here."
The agencies usually participate in these lessons of survival annually, and with their help all believe if a disaster strikes in Valdosta, they'll be ready.

Abstract. The substantial uncertainty in the indirect effect on radiative forcing in large part arises from the influences of atmospheric aerosol particles on (i) the brightness of clouds, exerting significant shortwave cooling with no appreciable compensation in the longwave, and on (ii) their ability to precipitate, with implications for cloud cover and lifetime.
Predicting the ambient conditions at which aerosol particles may become cloud droplets is largely reliant on an equilibrium relationship derived in 1936. However, the theoretical basis of the relationship restricts its application to particles solely comprising involatile compounds and water, whereas a substantial fraction of particles in the real atmosphere will contain potentially thousands of semi-volatile organic compounds in addition to containing semi-volatile inorganic components such as ammonium nitrate.
We show that equilibration of atmospherically reasonable concentrations of organic compounds with a growing particle as the ambient humidity increases has larger implications on cloud droplet formation than any other equilibrium compositional dependence, owing to inextricable linkage between the aerosol composition and a particles size under ambient conditions.
Whilst previous attempts to account for co-condensation of gases other than water vapour have been restricted to one inorganic condensate, our method demonstrates that accounting for the co-condensation of any number of organic compounds substantially decreases the saturation ratio of water vapour required for droplet activation. This effect is far greater than any other compositional dependence; moreso even than the unphysical effect of surface tension reduction in aqueous organic mixtures, ignoring differences in bulk and surface surfactant concentrations.

Kudos to Baltimore for being recognized as one of the top cities for its parks and outdoor resources ("Baltimore's parks slip to 21st in nation," June 5). There's no question that open spaces and parks can contribute to a healthier, even more prosperous community. Except just having great parks does not seem to have the pizazz needed to lure teens and young adults outdoors.

One-man shows are usually self-indulgent tripe, actor-comedian John Fugelsang admits.
The exception is his one-man theatrical production "Guilt: A Love Story," coming to Fort Lauderdale's Parker Playhouse 8 p.m. Saturday.
"There are so many bad solo shows," says Fugelsang in a telephone interview during a show stop in Madison, Wis. "There are three reasons to do them: either it's therapy onstage, political propaganda or basically someone's standup routine. My show is all three of those, but I feel guilty about it."

I was planning on spending the day indoors to finish Hemingway, which I did, but after that I got bored so I went out anyway. I walked around, had lunch, then walked around a bit more. I went in vintage shops without buying anything. I decided to head back, so I turned right at a random corner, and—bam—right in my face, an awning screaming, "We buy books!" I had actually been subconsciously looking for secondhand bookstores. The mind works in odd ways.
The windows were full to the brim with bookshelf after bookshelf. Obviously I went over my head and went inside, smiling like a complete lunatic. Strolled every aisle (my favorite was the Greek Lit., ugh, they're wonderfully stocked) and then finally found a clear purchase: The Lord of the Rings, finally, after years of putting it off. I got all of the three books in one, massive, $10 volume.
I'm a happy kid at the moment.

Solution structure of parvulin domain of PpiD from E.Coli
PpiD is a periplasmic folding helper protein of Escherichia coli. It consists of an N-terminal helix that anchors PpiD in the inner membrane near the SecYEG translocon, followed by three periplasmic domains. The second domain (residues 264-357) shows homology to parvulin-like prolyl isomerases. This domain is a well folded, stable protein and follows a simple two-state folding mechanism. In its solution structure, as determined by NMR spectroscopy, it resembles most closely the first parvulin domain of the SurA protein, which resides in the periplasm of E. coli as well. A previously reported prolyl isomerase activity of PpiD could not be reproduced when using improved protease-free peptide assays or assays with refolding proteins as substrates. The parvulin domain of PpiD interacts, however, with a proline-containing tetrapeptide, and the binding site, as identified by NMR resonance shift analysis, colocalized with the catalytic sites of other parvulins. In its structure, the parvulin domain of PpiD resembles most closely the inactive first parvulin domain of SurA, which is part of the chaperone unit of this protein and presumably involved in substrate recognition.
The prolyl isomerase domain of PpiD from Escherichia coli shows a parvulin fold but is devoid of catalytic activity., Weininger U, Jakob RP, Kovermann M, Balbach J, Schmid FX, Protein Sci. 2010 Jan;19(1):6-18. PMID:19866485

I'm not sure if I'm going to like this, the old one was fun and I was always looking forward to which faction leader would come up next to try and think of questions specific to them. This seems like AAFL meets The Queue and chances are there are going to be a lot of the same questions over and over.
And I too was wondering about what happened to Ysiel Windsinger, I had sent in a question and I like Erknost's question.
Focusing on a single Faction Leader allowed the writer to build a caricature around multiple answers. The new format will certainly challenge the writer to develop the character in so short a space. I look forward to building on the existing characters, though, particularly the Bronzebeards and Tirion Fordring, the latter of whom had the best quote of any interview:
"I could offer a repeatable quest to slap a handful of kittens and people would do it if I gave them a little pet for it. And they'd drop the kittens off a cliff for a mount."
I hope to see a few more columns dedicated to a single faction leader among the new format, though; there are certainly a few more colorful characters out there that have not had their portraits done.

I'm sorry that you were unable to properly interpret my comment as "WoW is unaffected by this particular hack." Next time I will endeavor to remember to post all comments in the form of a complex diagram showing my exact meaning and excluding all other possible ridiculous interpretations.
The article indicates that EMC had their networks infiltrated, not that someone has figured out how to remotely predict the 6-digit key a given RSA device will cough up.
Now, the questions are:
1. why didn't EMC use their own product to enhance security ?
2. did the people who hacked EMC use access to the EMC network that is not protected by a RSA key?
Here is a diagram I believe may assist you in comprehending this comment thread.
Hollow Leviathan said...
What's not interesting about our MMO video game accounts being more secure than, say, the network of a cyber-intelligence firm like HBGary or whatever undisclosed major corporation for which Sleutel works?
Okay, since Sleutel won't explain it to you, allow me.
According to the article, the data that was hacked was more along the lines of source code to how the fobs work.
The Blizzard authenticator is already well known and if you want to make an app that imitates the Blizzard authenticator, you can.
The data that is missing as to why WoW is safe is the combination of the internal key unique to the fob, the exact time the database server has, which it uses to encode they key and come up with the expected authenticator code, and what account that fob is associated with.
As long as that database is safe, which it is, which those that use RSA is still, and so on, then your account is safe.
Sleutel there is no reason to be an arrogant ass. He quite rightly asks you how you know. And the fact is you don't know. You want to believe. Of course a company is going to say they are safe, no company is going to say "we are totally insecure, and if you use our services you may get hacked."
People believe that statement, but they don't know.
I actually could write at some length about PKI, security tokens and wow security specifically since I have a background on those topics. But seeing what posts get highlighted and what gets voted down around here illustrates to me that my time would be better spent explaining the concept of newspapers to my dog. A few people wanted to discuss the subject, but a few seem determined to blather on this subject which they know little about as they seem to do with every other topic.

I love this dish. It is very quick and easy to make. I am not much of a fan of carrots but the ingredients make them taste delicious. I used turkey bacon which complemented the rest of the dish very well. I will definitely make this again but with 2 tbsp of brown sugar instead of 3 because I did think that it was too sweet, otherwise it was perfect.

"To fight or not to fight?" That's the question in this Chinese spin-kick on Shakespeare's Hamlet. Daniel Wu is the prince whose dad has mysteriously carked it, while his uncle (Ge You) takes the throne by wedding Wu's stepmum (Ziyi Zhang). In a melee of machinations, Wu loves Ziyi but wants revenge so – of course – they ruck! But sadly not often enough. Director Feng Xiaogang's Banquet is sumptuously laid out but lacks real bite, despite an undeniably exhilarating final course.

Mother: a female parent: to give birth to: also: produce: to care for or protect like a mother. The word mother has always brought up a great deal of sadness for me. I have never had a typical relationship with my mother and until recently carried around a ton of guilt when it came to the thought of her. Christine P. Adams was a "beautiful disaster" as my BFF Kelly Clarkson would say. She could be captivating and free spirited one minute and deeply sad and withdrawn the next. My childhood was … [Read more...]

I made my best friend swear she wouldn't tell anyone and I had a total moratorium on pictures. No pictures were to be taken of me until my hair came back!

Hey, I live in New York and lately its been pretty cold and windy over here and my dsl speed isn't too slow but it has been a little slower, could this be because of the weather conditions ? Please let me know or if you have any suggestions, i'd be happy to hear them and any advice would be nice, thanks.
I dont think it should if no probs in line... I had to have a tech (after several slow downs and such) come out and see for him self. He went to the Verizon box across the street and found a bad phone splice (had water damage) and fixed it speed seemed to improve after that.
In theory the answer is no. In practice, the answer is sometimes.
The first question however is to make sure what you are seeing is real. The best way to do that is to look at the transceiver numbers in the log in good weather and in bad weather, and see if there really is a difference in the uplink and downlink speeds. The speeds reported by the transceiver numbers are either the provisioning limits set by Verizon, or the highest rate that could be successfully negotiated between your modem/router and the central office equipment. IF there is a significant loss in data rate, or change in loss/margins on the link in bad weather, then it is likely that your performance loss is indeed weather related. You can view the transceiver numbers from the log by logging into your router (http://22.214.171.124)
The performance of the DSL link between your premises and the Central office is very sensitive to the electrical characteristics of the copper pair that connect you. Over time insulation cracks, plasticizers migrate, and dielectric constants change, particularly in wet weather. My own experience was that bad weather would cut about 500kbps out of my downlink speed. To be blunt, unless you can convince Verizon to replace the copper pair that connects you to central office, there isn't anything you can do about it as a DSL customer. DSL is not a tariffed service, so Verizon doesn't even have a legal obligation to offer it, let along promise any level of performance.
My other weather related problem was that if I could hear thunder, my DSL service was down. The copper pair that connects me to the Central Office is probably 50+ years old (I don't have a NIB, I have a porcelain connecting block in the basement).
I moved to FiOS when it became available a year ago. FiOS doesn't care about weather or thunder. I am unable to measure a difference in the uplink or downlink speeds in good weather versus bad weather.
So the short answers are: Yes, the weather can impact DSL performance. No there isn't much you can do about it, nor will Verizon do anything about it, and about the only real 'fix' is to migrate to FiOS if it is available.

Despite Warm Temps, Winter Will Come
Despite unseasonably warm temperatures in recent days, the state Department of Public Safety wants to remind Minnesotans that winter is on the way.
It's Winter Hazard Awareness Week, and DPS officials say staying informed could be the key to having a good, safe winter.
DPS tells the Associated Press that over the last 10 years, 40 people have drowned in Minnesota after breaking through thin ice. And last year alone, 19 people died in snowmobile accidents.
It's also a good idea to make sure snow removal equipment is in working order and that families have plenty of warm clothing and blankets prepared for the months ahead. Those who use wood furnaces to heat their homes in wintertime are also wise to be prepared with large woodpiles.
After all, it's about to be winter again in Minnesota – even if it doesn't feel like it.

Concepts, especially abstract concepts, such as TIME, are different depending on the language and culture.
I've been reading articles from Lera Boroditsky
and I was wondering where else I could find information about the difference conceptions of time in different languages and cultures and how these conceptions are reflected in the grammar of the language.
Topics: conception language time
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 30 2011: Other things to add to the discussion:
children learning to write (in England - don't know if that is relevant or not, i don't think it is) may write from left to right or right to left, whether right or left handed. even when able to write words, spell them appropriately and leave spaces between, they may still write 'backwards' from right to left. After a while, they stop, because of the habit of writing and reading from left to right. That doesn't mean they 'think' from left to right.
i am right handed. If i am writing by hand I will write from left to right. If i am sketching out a plan, in words, i will often do this from right to left, in a circle, counter-clockwise.
If i think of future time, I dont see it as in a line to the left or right. I see imagined pictures of the event, in front of me as if i am moving into that space or rather joining into it, pulled, like gravity. Even if an event is planned in detail, sometimes i don't 'see' or feel it so clearly and it doesn't happen.
Future events that are chronologically further away, are just 'out there', nebulous, ranging in strength of definition or feeling. not as an isolated event but like a 'band' of significance.
I rely on the coming together of other people and communication rather than a diary to place me in time.
less significant events may be over to the left or right, ahead of me.these are events usually more important to others than me.
I think that there is also an individual response to time, this may be socio-cultural or family heritage related. I do miss appointments or turn up to early and this is clearly related to the fact that i do not picture time in a linear way, unlike most of my colleagues, although i find it simpler to see the 'bigger picture' or potential consequences/significances of events. a difference that relates to individual intelligences?(Howard Gardner)
Have you considered the australian aboriginal concept of time? Interesting to compare to the hopi or buddhist.
Dec 1 2011: Thank you for sharing. Just to clarify: I am not sure how the way a culture writes influences the left-right directionality of time, and if the writing convention influences that at all. They just seem to coexist and probably reinforce one another. Also, your experience of front/back time seems also to be shared by the majority of humans (although what is "front" and what is "back" may differ). The left-right model is a special case. It's more like if for some reason you think about the chronology of causation and decide if that would start from the left or from the right, in one culture most people would say right, in another left. You can see that in advertisements, for example: you get "DIRTY SHIRT - DETERGENT BOX - CLEAN SHIRT" and "CLEAN SHIRT - DETERGENT BOX - DIRTY SHIRT" with the same intended meaning, depending on what orientation is more common in a culture.
I think that understanding the ordering of events in a linear model and understanding of temporal events as linear can be analyzed separately. The temporal events are easy - it's easy to learn than "11 o'clock" is earlier than "12 o'clock," so when you conceptualize "11 o'clock" as the time you did the laundry, and "12 o'clock" as the time you folded your clean clothes, you can say that you conceputalize time linearly. Also, when you feel that one event caused another, I feel there is usually some precession there for most people, but I think it's not necessarily temporal (a very subtle difference - you don't need to know about "time" to understand what happened first). But in a more general way, I can understand how your idea of causality would not be "step by step" but based on the importance and meaning of the causal links - since I think the same way. I find it hard (an effort) to think about what's happening or what happened in a linear way - I have this big bag of interrelated memories of an event but without many temporal links that I'm aware of. I like it when people explain sth as a whole.
Dec 1 2011: Thanks for this very interesting personal account of time and the sharing of your tendency to emanate your art counterclockwise..right to left in the same way the earth rotates on its axis and manifests the events which we refer to as time. (sun rise, sunset etc.)
When I am painting I also work counterclockwise..naturally.
I resonated too with your being out of synch with linear time. living from and within what I call intuitive time time I often seem to have large losses or gains in time as marked by a clock..I will have done seemingly nothing or very little and find an hour or more has passed or just as often will think by the huge number of completed activities that it must be many hours later and discover that it's been only a short interval of time..by the clock.
At the same time I can attune to a specific clock time ( ege at :1:30 I have to leave to make that doctors appointment) and automatically stop work at 1:30 without ever looking at a clock.
When I lived more by the clock in my professional life I wasn't aware of these thing as much ( unless I was out on a long blue water sail). It is living here were clock time is more or less insignificant to most of life that these different relationships with time have evolved ( for me, experientially)
I think that language especially prevalent cultural language can suppress our ability to see and experience time ( and all else) in a natural and phenomenological way. "Time " as we actually expereience it is far more complex and flexible than we see when we define time by the clock. Our relationship with "time" is much more natural and indwelling than we normally have the oportunity to experience.
There are simple excercise though that anyone can do to expereience that.
( I have a TED conversation going now called Occupy Language: Putting on the Mind of the 99% (or something like that)..it's about how the words we use without thinking limit our seeing and also our thinking
Dec 3 2011: thanks! you have reminded me of the waking up at the right time thing! i often do that - a minute before the alarm clock? Yes. I also have the dream thing - simultaneously dreaming when somethings happening, a friend having an accident at the same time as its happening. I'm not sure however if being in or out of the busy world does effect the being in touch thing - i think that being in a group, thinking and working in a group brings the group in synch - for example at work we often all turn up wearing the same colour (theres ten or more of us) and sometimes its an unusual colour.
I think peoples concept of time depends on what they are proccupied with. If some one is a linear thinker then its sequential with maybe not much causality; other people think in a sporadic way, lots of plates spinning, all as important. Other people see thing on a different scale. Im not sure anymore if concepts of time and trad geographical location are as linked - there is a different sych between people who are global and those who are parochial. Langauge usually evolves around the preoccupations of the people using it as its a symbolic interpretation of thoughts. If you are in a group of people who do not share a language and witness how the made up language develops, it'l grow with the project. if theres no project, language doesnt develop, people spin off on their own. with different internet communities building i think the conceptual understanding of each will form from new sharings of understandings and this phenomenon will be the one to watch! activity and need create the style of communication, its intonation, tonality, pace of utterance, volume. the belief system or value system of the group develops from this. in a virtual world, how does the concept of time change?
I'll have a look at the other TED conversation.
Dec 3 2011: Hi Rachel,
So nice to meet you.
Your comment is jam packed with time related goodies..great insight and observations that push the question here about language and time to other dimensions:
inclusion of other parameters about how we experience, and therefore speak of time
how participation in multi cultural collaborations and conversations gives rise to new language and to new pereceptions, new ways of seeing what we thought we saw clearly
.Our bodies connection to "time" is very intriguing to me. My hypothesis would be this is universal..that all people for all time have possessed this "inner clock" as one of our faculties, or an aspect of our inner faculties. Western Culture sort of over rides and shuts off our connection to these inner faculties. Art, music, good converation ( that is mostly about listening), dance, rhythmic moving, chanting drumming all have the power to "excavate" the superficial cultural layer from which official "language" emerges, official cultural concepst of time are formed and shared, to a common and uiversal layer of inate and always operating gifts we all have and can draw on.
Collaboration is also one of those magic keys to the interior kingdom and your observation points to that. The "in synch" you have with your work group.
So my premise would be that if there is a common denominator across all cultures and peoples on "time" it is this inate, inbrorn body clock that pulses in synch with time as measured by the rotation of the earth ( the same pulse at which light is emitted from atomis which is what is used to establish "atomic time" the absolute universal tim eon earth as measured by a clock
.I also love your reference to the power of multi cultural collaboration/converstion to also "break through", give rise to new language that expresses the new shared experience
.Your comment gives me new thoughts and insights to the amazon tribe I wrote about here.

Feminists really need to stop attacking whatever they perceive as "rape culture" because they are helping to perpetuate the very thing they claim to be against. So the feminists do not like Laura Ingraham for pointing this out even though she is right. First they praise Obama's decision. From Feministing:
Great news! The Obama administration announced late Monday that it would dropping its effort to limit sales of Plan B to girls and women 15 and over. This means girls of any age will be able to buy the pill, which can prevent pregnancy up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, over the counter without restrictions.
Then Ingraham's comments:
"It's a good deal for pedophiles, a good deal for people who commit statutory rape against young girls… If mothers and fathers across this country hear this and they think, 'Well, I guess my daughter or her boyfriend or her rapist can go out to a pharmacy and get a bunch of, you know, hormone pills to give a little girl.' We don't really know the effect of a spiking or dropping a little girl's — in many cases a young woman's or a little girl's hormonal levels. It's outrageous! These girls can't get their ears pierced, they can't take an Advil at school without parental permission. Yet, they can go into a pharmacy in this Brave New World of women's equality and — quote — reproductive health and get a morning after pill."
And their response:
For good measure, Ingraham added: "I think it empowers men who want to abuse women." YES! You are correct! Of course. We all know that pedophiles, rapists, men who abuse women are very in tune with the reproductive choices made by their victims. Before this decision, a pedophile or rapist would assess the age of his victim, and proceed to rape the victim if and only if she was old enough to be able to get Plan B. But now that women and girls of any age can access the morning after pill, the usually cautious, rational, and family-planning-oriented people who rape women and girls will be emboldened.
Do you think a rapist cares about the rights of women? How best to cover up the rape then help dispose of the evidence, in some cases which Plan B will come in handy, make sure there is no pregnancy. Shameful feminists.

Ha is the only blind contestant to ever compete in, and later win, the show.
Ha took home a $250,000 cash prize and cook book deal.
For the final challenge, the contestants prepared three courses. Ha was praised for the balanced meal she prepared which included braised pork, maitake mushrooms, Thai papaya salad, and coconut lime sorbet. (Marks' undercooked lobster may have cost him the title.)
"My first reaction when I won was just utter shock," Ha told TV Guide. "I just could not believe it. I was shocked for probably 48 hours. I didn't realize how much I wanted it and how much it was attainable."
While she is a master chef now, Ha admits she used to be an awful cook.
"I didn't even know how to steam rice in a rice cooker." She added, "I was a disgrace to many Vietnamese mothers I'm sure ... I only knew how to make scrambled eggs and toast and instant ramen."
Ha finally taught herself how to cook once she got an apartment with a kitchen, and now her husband helps her while she cooks.

I loved this board from my first ride. I wanted to try magna-tracion from the start and now I can't see how I ever rode without it. I'm now tryin to save up for the new 2010 model w/ banana traction. This board feels super light and ready for everything. Mervin Boards tech is sick. Worth the $ all day. Graphics are insane. Nuff said.
The Future is here

Member since
Banana Tech is awesome. This board Floats in the deep stuff and rides short in the park. The magna edge is sweet in the pipe and allows me to traverse and hold a high line better than ever before. I started off centered on the true twin then moved my bindings back one set and it is great in all conditions. I probably won't ever buy a board that isn't reverse camber again.
awesome ride
Member since
Picked up this board last week and took it out to a pretty sick resort as far as east coast riding goes. Absolutely loved it! The first day typical east coast conditions proved this thing can handle ANYTHING, and after 12" of fresh pow over Saturday night, I saw yesterday how truely awesome this thing can ride. Totally ripped the mountain all day long and would recommend this board to anyone. Cant wait to get it out west.
A new ride, a new feel
Member since
I've only ridden this board once. I found it to be squirrly and responsive all at once. In the deep powder I didn't notice any difference in the float. You still have to lean back (not too much) and keep the tip up. It's a fun ride on the groomers. It feels like your riding on the center of the board even side to side. It grips great on the hard pack. I detuned my tip and tail, and am now wondering if that was a smart move. It really likes to slide around just like a banana. I think I need a couple of more days of riding to have a strong opinion either way.
I'm 225 lbs, size 12. I am thinking 167...
Member since
I'm 225 lbs, size 12. I am thinking 167 or 172?I want to use this board fro hardpacked and for big powder dumps.Lib makes the board in banna version for 167 but no banna version for 172.My concern is that for powder I want to go bigger but then I can'tget the bannana tech version. Should I go longer for powder without the bannana tech (172) or go shorter (167) with the banna tech? My sense is the bannana tech rocks in the powder and I shouldn't go longer for the sake of longer and miss out on the advantages of the banana tech. Correct?
Aaron Wilbur
Member since
You got it dude. The banana tech will make you float better than 5 cm, which really isnt that much. A big misconception is that length is how to rock pow, but what really makes you float is the shape of the board.
grips like crazy
mammoth boarder
Member since
I understand the love/hate relationship with this board. I bought it with a lot of enthusiasm, then really struggled to ride it well. Some other guy up at June Lake encouraged me to quit letting the board throw me around and boss it around a bit. What a difference! My old Ride Timeless got so easy to ride that I got lazy. I initially got this board so that my 235 lbs would not skid down Cornice or Scotty's on a hard/icy day. It worked! Your cannot believe how this board grips on that type of surface. On softer stuff, you just have to be aware that smaller inputs are going to result in a reaction from the board (unlike conventional technology boards) I also used it on a week Heli trip in Crescent Spur, BC, Canada. Floated like a butterfly.
Here's something that works!
Feast the Wildbeast
Member since
People have been riding cambered snowboards for so many years that sometimes when they get on a board with Banana tech, they still try to ride it like a board with camber. If you loosen up and focus your energy to the center of the board and not the tip/tail, you'll discover that it is a truely better design. This graphic is also the sickest one out of Lib's entire line! You'll never find a better board to float powder on except maybe the snowmulet which is a little less versital.
Hated this board
Member since
I hated this board. Call me old-school and maybe I am but I don't like or understand reverse camber on this board. It made the board feel so out of control, I've been riding for a long time and had no confidence on this board. I think it's all hype. Give me something that works.
