The USE Alien carbon post is one of the industries lightest designs due to the use of the Cyclops head and careful bonding process of the alloy head to the seatpost.
The light stiff and strong shaft is made from 3K weave carbon that has a matte finish applied after fabrication. The head is bonded on using the 3M bonding technique. The Cyclops clamp shaves a lot of weight and is one of the reason the post tips the scale as a featherweight.
We have found the USE carbon posts to be one of the more durable and robust designs available. The unique Cyclops clamp is light and incredibly strong. First time set up can be a slight challenge, but once you have a little experience with it, it installs and adjusts easily. 3K carbon with a matte finish has an industrial look to it and is durable for daily use. The Cyclops clamp is fabricated from 7075 heat treated and anodized alloy.
I've had this post now since 2006 on my primary road bike. I've used various saddles with it, and I've never had a problem. Yes it will tilt as you tighten it, but it's a minor nuisance for a great post.
I've used this post for three years without any problems; reading all the reviews, perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones. True, it is a pain to mount and adjust, and I am a serial over-torque-er so I had to really put in check my desire for just one more quarter turn when tightening the bolt. That said, the saddle and post have not moved one millimeter. The saddle does tilt down several degrees when you tighten the the bolt but if you just set it too high to start it sits perfectly. I've yet to find a lighter post (mine weighs ~140g with excess trimmed) at this price point so, for me (and my lack of mechanical problems with it), it all boils down to how much consternation in putting the saddle on I want to deal with for saving a fair amount of weight.
Pros: light weight for a zeo offset post
Cons: Need patience and a good vocabulay to mount saddle
A bit of a challenge to setup without a few curse words. I bought my single bolt post in Dec 2010. I just found the middle hardware piece has cracked. I would expect a post to last longer. My weight has been 155-162lbs. At this stage, the saddle tilts back over the course of a few rides. I've torqued it as much as I dare with the small bolt. Maybe the loctite I just added will do the trick?
Pros: Looks good, light, worked well for a couple years
Cons: Challenging setup, short lifespan
Forget about it. There are plenty of posts out there these days that are just as light and far easier to adjust. Regardless of what anyone says, these are so time consuming and finicky to set up (even with someone who has set m,any of these up before), that these just aren't worth it. The smallish hex bolts also round off, even when you are careful to fully insert a new and square hex wrench. Stay away and thank me later.
This post is horrible. Period. I bought it for a "weight project" bike and it was a pain the the butt straight out of the box. I got it adjusted finally, then when I needed to move the saddle (fine tune the fit), it took 15-20 minutes each time I wanted to tweak the saddle fore-aft. The seat angle is a total guessing game. Start with the tip up because as you tighten the bolts, it pulls the nose down. In the end I now realize that this post design is about 10 years old and was super light at the time, now there are other posts available that are as light which I should have gone with.
Pros: light
Cons: time consuming, frustrating
This post is strong and durable but the set-up is time-consuming. The 2 thin fixing bolts have heads that require a 1-mm hex wrench that takes forever to tighten, and this size wrench tends to slip when near the recommended torque.
This is a review on the origianl (older) USE Alien seatpost design, that used two bolts. The current USE Alien design has one bolt and has been availible in this design since 2005. Also the wrench required for the older Alien seatposts were 2.5mm, not 1mm as posted. - ed
Pros: light, strong, clean design
Cons: Set-up and adjustment is too time-consuming.
Crap absolutely crap... same problems as stated before! The double hex saddle will fall off when weight is shifted anywhere backwards. Twice now even after thoroughly tightened. Only a few bumps and bruises... Good thing!
Mine became frozen in the wrong position: bike mechanic told me to loosen the bolt all the way (it will not pull through as a washer stops that) then whack the saddle/rails hard with a rubber mallet. Worked for me. This was is a pain to adjust, but works well once in the right spot.
I agree that this post slips easily. Mine slipped after adjusted at the shop, then stuck on a ride pointing up, and I could not readjust for many miles with my small wrench. Otherwise its a fine, strong, lightweight post.
I have used the Alien post for 4 years, yes it is difficult to adjust, once set it never moved. Recommended the post to friends, same criticism but did not move and seat didnt pop off. My girl friend with no bike mechanic skills installed the post on all her bikes, same criticisms, same result, Pay attention when installing the post, then forget it, works great
I have the old style Alien with two adjustment screws. It was installed in 2004 and performed flawlessly until the middle of an important ride in 2007. I took it back to shop where purchased and again everything went well until the summer of 2009. Once again the seat moved during a ride and since I had moved I could not take it back to the LBS where purchased. Took to another shop and mechanic were clueless on the torgue. One kept tightening until he broke on of the alloy bits that tightens on the rail. I did not realize the piece was broken so the post failed about 5 miles into a ride so I had to pedal back without a saddle. Needless to say I am conflicted on whether to keep the post of not. When it works it is great but when it fails it sucks.
Comical how emotionally invested people get in things.This seatpost is beautiful to look at and is very lightweight. But despite careful installation by me and my LBS, torque wrench or no, the saddle pops off while riding. Just look at the design and you can see how its possible. Why bother? Look at the Thomson. Its brilliantly designed and constructed. Campy too.
I am amazed at the bad reviews, but, every person is different. This the is the best post I have owned, and I have tried most of them! It is tied for number 1 with the bontrager post line for easy adjustment. It has a horizontal adjustment just like the bontrager, except it is from the back, the bontrager is from the side. Most other posts require tightening from underneath in a manner that is just not that easy to do (post always gets in the way especially when using a tri allen wrench). This post does not. My only two complaints on this post would be, and I am int picking here.. It is too adjustable. Most other posts have clicks, this is smooth so it takes more time to get it completely perfect. It appears to compress the seat mounting rails, although they always uncompress when the post is released. When I say compressed I mean bend, like bending a straw not squishing a straw. If I had the money, all 8 of my bikes would have this post or the bontrager race xlite.
I have owned this post two years and always found this post difficult to adjust properly. The bolt is too small to tighten very much. Today, it slipped mid-race causing me to drop out despite careful assembly. I am now online shopping for a replacement. I have never had a post fail in decades of riding. My advice, avoid this one.
Im an engineer and I cant get this thing to work! I replace my saddle about every year and after three years Ive finally decided to throw out this seat post. It is very difficult to install (although I think its more difficult with certain saddles) and very difficult to adjust. Sure - it is light weight and cool looking, but that does nothing for you if you cant physically get the saddle on your seat post and into the proper position.
Ive had this seat post for five years and it is great. No, if, ands or buts. I have Thomson Masterpiece and it is easier to adjust but, heavier. I have the two bolt version and went to a company called Fastenal to buy stainless steel bolts to replace the originals that had rusted. Otherwise, if you cant adjust the USE post you must have hand like feet.
I bought this particular seatpost because I liked the way that the saddle rails are better supported than many other light weight seatposts. After reviewing all the reviews here and on the online forums I decided to risk it anyways. Many have said the cyclops clamp is difficult to adjust. I do not find it so. Max torque on the small 3mm hex head socket cap screw is 3.5 NM. I would highly suggest using a good high quality torque wrench for this. A bolt that small in diameter can easily snap if over torqued. The entire clamping design relies also on proper torque on the faster to generate the proper clamp force on the clamping head of the seatpost portion. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars because the description here at Excel sports and as well on USEs own website doesnt tell you right away that you may need to buy a 2nd cyclops clamp of different size if you have carbon rails
I like a post that goes about its job without too much fuss. This one does not. The clamp fails to inspire confidence; one 3mm bolt to hold a saddle is barely adequate. I have had it slip and had the bolt loosen, which makes for a worrisome ride. Also the saddle is difficult to install by comparison to Ritchey, Campy, Thompson - you need three hands to do it. A regrettable choice overall.
I have one. Once its set (after MUCH aggravation), it stays put. Its light and it looks good but theres one simple fact:Simpler is better and theres no seatpost clamp as simple, elegant and strong as Campys and all these multi adjustment or multi piece clamps are a complete joke.
I just installed this seatpost today - anyone who says this is easy to install must be someone who works for USE. This is the worst seatpost I have ever worked with in 25 years!
The USE Alien seatpost is very easy to use. It just requires a bit of patience, and understanding of the direction of rotation of the saddle while doing it up. You have to angle the saddles nose slightly downwards, so that when you tighten the clamp the nose of the saddle will lift. Make sure the clamp is tight (torque to numbers rec), and it wont move and should need no fine tuning. It really is easy and takes a bit of practice and patience.
I second the reviewer who said the post is a pain to adjust. I have a problem with it holding adjustment and it cant be adjusted on the fly.
Ive used this seatpost for the last 8 months on my Storck CD1.1. It is a fantastic post. Extremely well made and not at all difficult to adjust.
I would give this seatpost a zero if possible. The post itself is fine - still, lightweight, reasonably priced. The saddle clamp, however, is extremely complicated and difficult to install. Ive installed three different saddles on this post and have had to spend at least an hour on each to adjust it and get it in the proper position. The one bolt concept is a good idea, but is impossible to make slight adjustments to and requires way too much time to install. I wonder if the product designers have ever actually put a saddle on it to try it out....

Yes LJNFL. What does that mean? Larry Johnson Not For Long in the NFL. I feel iI reflect the thoughts of most Chiefs fans when I say to Larry, GOOD RIDDANCE. Frankly, Dick Vermiel, who objected to Carl's drafting of Larry, had it right when he told L.J. to take off the diapers. Larry acted like a spoiled petulant child throughout his tenure in K.C. and was the beneficiary of a great offensive line in his statistically successful years.
L.J. searching for a new home reminded me of other Chiefs who have found new homes. I reviewed the rosters of the other NFL teams searching out former Chiefs. Here are my results:
Todd Collins QB Washington
Benny Sapp DB Minnesota
Ty Law CB Denver
Vonnie Holiday DE Denver
Casey Wiegmann C Denver
Tony Gonzalez TE Atlanta
Scot Fujita LB New Orleans
Ryan Sims DT Tampa Bay
Tank Tyler DE Carolina
Jared Allen DE Minnesota
Turk McBride DE Detroit
Kris Wilson TE San Diego
Tyler Thigpen QB Miami
Keyaron Fox LB Pittsburgh
One thing stands out. Where are the offensive lineman we have drafted or signed?
While some people point out our failures to adequately re-stock our defensive line, everyone has forgotten we have failed miserably to put emphasis on our offensive line in the draft.As a result our run game has been non-existent and pass protection iffy at best. Without an adequate offensive line you cannot control the line of scrimmage and expose your defense to quick "three and outs." I suggest that during next year's draft and free agency period significant attention be turned to these areas if our franchise is to make an about face!

International Classification of Health Interventions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (October 2013)
The International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI) is a system of classifying procedure codes being developed by the World Health Organization. It is currently only available as a beta release.
It is designed to replace the "International Classification of Procedures in Medicine" (ICPM), a system that was developed in the 1970s but which never received the same international acceptance as ICD-9. As a result, most nations developed their own incompatible standards for coding procedures and interventions.
It is largely derived from the "Australian Classification of Health Interventions" (ACHI), a portion of the Australian standard ICD-10-AM, which in turn was largely derived from ICD-10 and the United States extension ICD-9-CM.

With the traditional AHL All-Star Classic looming, teams across the American Hockey League looked to go into the All-Star Break satisfied with their record, as they re-energize for the remainder of the season.
The Hershey Bears played the Charlotte Checkers on Saturday afternoon, hours before the AHL Skills Competition. Going into Saturday, Hershey would wish the All-Star Break actually came later for their team. Before Saturday, the Chocolate and White carried a five game winning streak, boosting them to second in the East Division.
The Charlotte Checkers are in the mix of their first season playing in the American Hockey League. However, the Checkers remain in the thick of the division, only two points behind Hershey entering Saturday. Charlotte hasn't missed a beat since entering the AHL, as they came into the matinee as possible playoff contenders.
Game 46 of the season for Hershey began, to complete another three games in three nights stretch. A back and fourth game began right out of the gate, but, neither team created any major scoring chance in the first half of the period. Shots were only 1-1, six minutes in.
Towards the middle minutes, the Hershey line of Andrew Gordon, Keith Aucoin, and Francois Bouchard started to increase the puck possession numbers in the offensive end. However, despite the puck possession, the passing in the offensive end for Hershey were off target. In the opening period it appeared the key passing lanes were open, but neither team could execute.
The first period would come to a close with both teams scoreless, and lacking any chances to tally. Both teams were tied with only five shots a piece. Through 20 minutes it would be a game hard for the fans to watch, as the game lacked any consistent flow, and contained many offsides and icing infractions.
The Checkers began the middle stanza trying to turn the flow and momentum. In the opening minute, Charlotte's Chris Terry walked in front of Braden Holtby and released two quick shots on net. But the Bears' goalie was up to the task and made a couple of highlight reel saves to keep the game scoreless.
Minutes later, the tide quickly began to turn. Hershey began sustaining a pressure in the offensive end where they moved the puck well, and threw several chances on net. Thankfully for Charlotte, Justin Pogge bailed out his defense as the game approached its midway point.
The Checkers had five man advantages in the middle period giving them the upper hand in opportunities
The Bears' penalty kill was ranked only 13th in the league coming into Saturday. However, they killed each of the Checkers' attempts on the man advantage to keep the game scoreless.
Hershey went right back on the penalty kill Aucoin was handed a four minute double-minor for high sticking in the opening minute of the penalty kill. Shortly after, Sheldon Souray was sent to the box to make it a 5-on-3 power play for Charlotte, for a full two minutes. But once again, the Bears were able to kill both penalties to keep the game scoreless.
With about ten minutes left in the third the Bears were given a power play of their own. Souray capitalized on that power play with a bullet from the point to give Hershey the 1-0 victory.

The recipe reviewed here appears on Page 16 of today's Dash, a monthly food magazine inserted in The Journal Gazette.
Beef Satay with Hoisin Dipping Sauce
Difficulty: Easy
Preparation/cooking time: 20 minutes
To quote my husband, who is a teacher, this dish was an A+.
He liked the flavorful, tender beef and the crunchy addition of the peanuts, as well as the pan-fried ramen noodles that I served on the side.
The reason the dish made the grade for me was not the flavor – though it was good – but the ease of preparation. The marinade time was short, the dipping sauce could be made as the meat soaked up flavor and the cooking time was less than five minutes.
The only thing I didn't like about the satay was the dipping sauce. The mix of hoisin and ketchup – both sweet on their own – was too much and the lime juice wasn't able to cut it. A bit of sriacha may have given it the bite I thought it needed.

This is the third book in Cramer's Daughters of Caleb Bender series, and it is best to read them in order, even though a family tree is included. Though descriptive, it is a bit hard to stay fully engaged throughout. Cramer's series is quite different from the typical Amish story, but some themes are universal: coping with loss, following one's heart and seeking God to guide us.
Caleb Bender and his family have been in Mexico for years and the settlement has grown. Domingo Zapara has helped protect them from bandits and is like a son to Caleb. However, El Pantera and his men are heading their way, seeking revenge. Caleb learns that Mexican ways and laws are quite different than in the United States. He is devastated when his daughter marries Domingo and incurs the bann. Caleb is forced to question whether or not Gott is hearing his prayers and Caleb becomes bitter. When the threat becomes imminent, Caleb must make some important life-changing decisions. (BETHANY HOUSE, Jan, 352 pp., $14.99)

Polynomials - Long Division
A polynomial looks like this:
|example of a polynomial
this one has 3 terms
Polynomials can sometimes be divided using the simple methods shown on Dividing Polynomials.
But sometimes it is best to use "Long Division" (a method similar to Long Division for Numbers)
Numerator and Denominator
We can give each polynomial a name:
If you have trouble remembering, think denominator is down-ominator.
The Method
Write it down neatly:
Both polynomials should have the "higher order" terms first (those with the largest exponents, like the "2" in x2).
|Repeat, using the new polynomial
It is easier to show with an example!
Write it down neatly like below, then solve it step-by-step (press play):
Check your answer:
Just multiply your answer by the bottom polynomial, you should get the top polynomial:
The previous example worked perfectly, but that is not always so! Try this one:
After dividing we were left with "2", this is the "remainder".
The remainder is what is left over after dividing.
But you still have an answer, just put the remainder divided by the bottom polynomial as part of the answer, like this:
"Missing" Terms
Sometimes there will be "missing terms" (example: there may be an x3, but no x2). In that case either leave gaps, or include the missing terms with a coefficient of zero.
Write it down with "0" coefficients for the missing terms, then solve it normally (press play):
When solving it I just left gaps, and as you can see it was important to have the space available because we needed it for "3x3"
More than One Variable
So far we have been dividing polynomials with only one variable (x), but how do you handle polynomials with two or more variables (such as x and y)? You can still use the same method.

Eating out!
Going to a restaurant should be a great experience where you just go out, relax and enjoy yourself. Unfortunately for coeliacs, this is not always the case. Being a coeliac presents its own set of challenges, ensuring that we have a good night and we're served food that will not make us ill. In order to do that, I like to establish a basis of trust with waiting staff. Not only does this tell me how knowledgeable they are about the condition but also determines the risk of 'glutenation'. Once when out and I was going through possible menu options, it was suggested that I could have a burger without the bun, but when I asked if there was definitely no breadcrumbs in the burger, it was unknown.
I find that it's the hidden sources of gluten that cause the most confusion and present a bigger risk. Therefore, if I know that something may contain this hidden source, I'll always ask. My advice for going to a restaurant is to be confident enough to ask questions. I would rather go for overkill asking questions than become ill and regret not asking those questions. When in a restaurant, we are paying for the service as well as the food. Just because we are coeliac, does not mean that we should be made feel like we deserve lesser quality food and that we are an inconvenience to the chef, as I've had happen in the past. Now, if I'm not happy with the attitude or the menu options, I'll leave and go to another venue.
I suppose being coeliac, I always try to choose a restaurant that I will have vetted online beforehand. Wherever possible, I always check the menu online to ensure that there are options for me. It's difficult when you are the only coeliac in a group and if like me, restaurant choice for nights out are often left to me as I'm the one who experiences the most difficulty in finding suitable food. That's why I like coeliacpages as I want to create a sense of community and trust amongst our coeliac peergroup on where we can go and actually relax about getting a good meal without gluten. Always inform the restaurant or hotel at the time of booking that you are coeliac, that way at least you hope that the chef has some advance warning.
- Is your deep fat fryer used for anything other than chips?
Unfortunately, the issue of cross contamination with other fried food is one of the big areas that I find the restaurant industry is the least knowledgeable on. If I eat food that comes out of a fryer that has been used for breaded or battered products, within 20 minutes I get severe stomach cramping and that's the end of my night out! So to make the most of my freedom and kind offers of babysitting, I make sure I double check every little detail that I think might impact my gluten free meal.
- Does the soup/sauce have any wheat flour based products/thickener in it?
Again, this hidden source of wheat is a difficult one to detect. I always ask, if there is any doubt with the waiting staff I ask them to double check with the chef/kitchen staff. I would rather be double sure than risk being "glutenated"!
- Do the burgers have any breadcrumbs in its ingredient list?
Gluten free option with some restaurants is the burger without the bun. I always double check with waiting staff that there is no hidden wheat in the burger. Better safe than sorry!
- Is it garam flour used?
Indian cooking is generally quite coeliac friendly as they use Garam flour which is a derivative of chic peas and can form the basis of popadoms. However, I'll always ask, even if visiting a restaurant that I have been to before. I prefer to be over cautious than risk 'glutenation'.
- Salad dressing suitability.
Salad dressings can be another hidden source of gluten. I always ask that it is double checked as suitable for coeliacs.
If you have any other useful tips, leave a comment below, thanks.

The Dark Side of Being Popular
A study has found that the more popular the teen, the more likely he or she is to get into trouble.
Dr. Wendy Walsh: I recently chaperoned a middle-school field trip to a college basketball game, and since my kid was too cool to sit beside me, I got to be a fly on the wall and observe her peer relationships. I discovered that my kid was quite popular, and checked one parental worry off my list. (Kid has no social problems. Check.) I stayed relieved ... until I came upon a psychology study that links adolescent popularity with drug use and delinquent behavior!
It turns out that popular kids are popular in part because they learn to become attuned to group norms and act out the group's values. The study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, followed 185 seventh and eighth graders for one year. Researchers used a series of tests to evaluate a variety of things, including popularity, attachment security, self-esteem, ability to develop close friendships, relationships with parents, alcohol and substance abuse and behavioral problems. Overall, the researchers found that popular adolescents were more well-adjusted than their less popular peers. They had better relationships with their parents and a higher level of social skills.
However, over time, popular adolescents tended to show greater increases in levels of delinquency and drug use. In short, the researchers noted, the more popular the teen, the more likely he or she was to get into trouble during the year in which they were followed. One silver lining is that the deviant behavior tended to be minor -- things like shoplifting or vandalism. (Aggressive or violent criminal behavior tended to be exhibited by the less popular kids.) As for drug use, popular kids tend to be leaders and extroverts; they'll experiment first with things the group finds exciting.
Long before I had kids, I remember a parent warning me that after a certain age, peer pressure becomes so strong that in some cases the only influence a parent can have on her kid is to move and change the kid's peer group. This study sure supports that idea. First sign of delinquent behavior, and my popular girl will be leading the girl-groups in a convent! (Joking. Sort of.) And now I can check off a worry about my less popular kid: Less popular. Won't lead the masses into Hell. Whew!

I like the design and colours, but I have to mention that I'm having difficulty when it loads. I'm making use of SeaMonkey 2 internet browser for mac, and the menu wouldn't align as it should be. i am confident I've applied exactly the same design on a customer's site, but the menu seems all straight on mine. I have an idea the fault is at my end and just maybe it's about time to switch!
I hoped much more from this text. I found it on MSN and hoped it will be more informative

Welcome blog reader to my first blog. For my first topic, I would like to write about something I am very passionate about: computers. More specifically, I want to talk about how I dislike the taskbar in Windows 7. Remember the good ol' days when there was text on the taskbar to indicate what program was open? And if you have several Word documents open, for example, it combined them, forcing the user to hover over the icon. Then, the user could carefully maneuver the mouse to the window they wish to view.

I kinda understand your feelings there. My guild cranked up about 8 months before Wrath came out and all of us were noobs who hit 70 in Outland together and had to figure out this whole raiding thing together. I was a Fury warrior and would up respeccing prot so that we would have a dedicated tank and i ended up leading my guild through 3 Kara clears. We are casual for sure but we hit the ground running in Wrath. Well shortly after Wrath hit our Main Healer's son transferred to our server and joined our guild. He was a druid tank who had cleared most of Naxx when he came over and he loved to PuG. He was better geared and already knew all the fights. I really felt left behind. We have worked it out somewhat but I'm still playing off tank in Naxx. So we'll see how it goes. Good luck with your guild!

Could we use compressed air as an alternative fuel source?
Using compressed air might be a bit ineffective but we could just use it to turn generators or vehicles crankshafts right? Its sorta the same as wind energy but in higher quantity's. The main problems I see are is it redundant to compress it, it might freeze the machine, explosion hazard (kinda same as gasoline), and it might not as effective powering machines.

Jul 28 2013: We use compressed air to start large Diesel engines. Basic physics dictates that it takes more power to compress air than we can harvest from it. We can however use it as a strage medium. They are working on it........ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2266632/Car-runs-air-coming-soon-Peugeot-Citroen-unveil-new-117mpg-hybrid.html

The 'How' and the 'Why' of Life
Structuralism as a theory implies that we split reality up into signs, or categories of objects, in order to make sense of life. [¹]. In modern times the ideas of structuralism became stuck because writers focused only on the synchronic view of language (the view that ignores the effects of time); they did not know how to incorporate time into the sign of language. One main effect of time is that it changes ideas of individuality. The structuralist writers failed to understand the significance of the individual in producing linguistic change.
|Sub - Headings
|Following Meaning
|Psycho-dynamic View
The manner in which the
individual related
to language was
not understood.
Language was conceived to be a social fact, thereby being independent of everything personal. This view is underpinned by an inaccurate understanding of the relation between a person's subjectivity and the objectivity of the world. To understand better the nature of language I use a comparison between subjectivity and objectivity – this sets up a dualistic framework of ideas. This matches the dualism of a single person versus a group of persons.
order to create a dialogue
subjectivity and objectivity, I consider that meanings
and values are objective.
To understand the role of the individual within the system of language, we need to consider two issues: why the individual relates to society, and how he relates to society. The first issue leads to the production of meanings. The individual seeks subjective meaning to his life: why should he have relationships? Meanings become the search for significant motivations or ideals in his life. The second issue leads to the conversion of meanings into values. His answers are translated into objective values as he learns how to engage in relationships. These values are then incorporated into language.
First of all, in the course of history the ideas that are at the disposal of the person develop both in breadth and depth. Human evolution produces a slow expansion of consciousness. This process is speeded up by the deliberate exploration of the mind. This exploration achieves maximum efficiency when self-deception and confusion are eliminated as much as possible from states of mind. The intrepid explorer achieves this result by using truth as his instrument and the concept of meaning as his guide. Some states of mind are states of relationships. These relationships are explored for their meaning by subjecting them to critical observation and examination.
An observer is usually relating to what he is observing (unless he is feeling bored). If the observation is passive (watching someone else), then little understanding will be achieved. It is not usually possible to identify meanings simply by watching the behaviours of other people. The observation needs to be an active one, if worthwhile results are to be obtained, that is, the person needs to observe himself whilst he is in the act of relating. This practice maximises awareness, and makes it easier to detect confusion and self-deception.
|Top of Page
The exploration of relationships for their meaning is the exploration of the significance of these relationships for the individual, the exploration of the quality of life that they offer. Relationships pose problems. What happens to relationships when attachments to power and dependency are overcome? What forms does harmony take? Does harmony arise at all ? By following the concept of meaning the explorer will find that his relationships change as his understanding of them changes.
Meaning arises from the individual's relationships. The individual produces new meanings, but only from his contact with society. Meaning does not arise solely from the individual in his isolation. This is why the individual meditator, in his solitude, almost never produces new meanings ; he is not relating to anyone. The isolated meditator can only function within the pre-set values, and the confines, of his spiritual tradition. Society cannot evolve just as a society ; it needs the individual.
Some of the meanings that the individual creates are useful to society. These subjective meanings are taken up and transformed into objective, social values. Only when meanings are objectified into values can they enter the arena of discourse. Meanings can transform the individual, whilst values can transform relationships.
The two extreme poles of human variability are the subjective individual and objective society. Both the individual and society are equal in importance. Only by accepting that meaning is created first by the individual and then expressed in society can the proper appreciation of the individual develop. In this manner, personal meanings that can fulfill social needs are transformed into social values.
Meanings and values lie
in the
nature of
the relationships which a person has. So when the pursuit of truth is
used to
eliminate self-deception and confusion, truth becomes centred on
meanings and values. Meanings are subjective, values are
objective. Subjectivity
always arises before objectivity.
Hence meanings arise before values do. This view implies that human life is little more than the arena of meanings, values and relationships. The concept of 'expansion of consciousness' is shorthand for the principle that the person is continually elevating his meanings into values and transforming his relationships from the material level to the mental level, then to the spiritual level.
Language contains traditional values – this is what is implied in the ideas of social conditioning and socialisation. However, these values are the objectification of the individual's subjective meanings. In this manner, the individual is an important component of the language system. Language as a system of social facts is built upon the creative individual.
|Top of Page
The existing set of social values (whether Marxist, Socialist, Liberal, Conservative, etc) forms an ideology. [³]. Why is this? When any framework of knowledge tries to ask and answer all questions concerning values and standards within its own boundaries it becomes an ideology. Such a system does not lead to the acceptance of any knowledge that is outside those boundaries. Typical examples from the past are religious groups or churches that depend upon the voice of authority as being infallible. This authority can be a holy book, a past teacher, or an authoritarian hierarchy such as Catholicism. Modern examples include Marxism and science (or more accurately, the direction that science has taken since world war 2). [4]
If we want to analyse an existing ideology, we can split the analysis into two parts, those of the synchronic and the diachronic modes. The individual has his role in both parts. In his synchronic practice he develops new meanings. Then, as a member of society, he transforms these into social values and helps society to change as time goes by. The pursuit of truth, or the stage of mental awareness, mental acuity, is necessary in order to avoid becoming trapped in the ideology.
The importance of the individual lies in the fact that all ideologies change. Now when an ideology has exhausted its positive potential it still has to change. Everything is always changing, nothing stays still ; if you do not go forward then you go backwards. If there is no individual to supply new meanings then the social set of values can only deteriorate. Without the individual creating new values, then sooner or later society will work itself back to barbarity and stone-age culture (or stone-age values within a technological culture).
Many writers are over-impressed by the power of language. One writer gave the impression that meaning is impossible without language. This is an error. Meaning antedates language because the infant encodes it in emotion and attitudes during his pre-verbal existence. If this did not happen then infant psychosis would be an impossibility, that is, schizophrenia and other disorders are the ultimate verification that meaning is encoded in emotion and attitudes. Only later in childhood does the child also encode meaning in desire and in language. Since emotion and attitudes require concepts [5], we can say that meaning is impossible without the mind (which produces the concepts) but not impossible without language.
The state of equanimity provides another instance of meaning that is outside of language. Equanimity implies that no value judgements are being made, because the person has stepped outside of verbal thought. Yet the world still has meaning, meaning that is non-conceptual, non-linguistic.
|Top of Page
The relationship between meaning and value can be explored from a psycho-dynamic viewpoint. The difference between them can be understood as the difference between psychology and existentialism
The process of childhood growth into adulthood produces a person who has acquired, voluntarily or involuntarily, many fixed beliefs and prejudices. The involuntarily-accepted beliefs are just another name for social conditioning. These fixed beliefs enable a person to structure his character, since they create values. Values are the standards that he bases his identity on. But these values have usually been created either mechanically or subconsciously, and hence are usually enshrouded in confusion and self-deception.
Fixed beliefs and values arise when attitudes and concepts become underpinned by anxiety. So simultaneously this fixed structure produces determinism ; that is, a person usually acts in a present situation in a manner that was first established in the past of long ago.[6]. The more that he centres himself in these confused beliefs and values so the more he finds that he is subject to determinism and fate. Psychology is the investigation and understanding of this fixed structure. Psychological man is afflicted by anxiety (or unwanted stress).
In contrast, the existentialist tries to live a very different situation. He accepts his limitations from the past ; his character is his present starting point. And from this starting point he tries to live a life of meaning, a life of choice, a life of free will, not a life of values. This is the important difference between standard man and existential man. Standard man acts from values. Existential man seeks meanings.
Meanings become the way that life is lived, lived in all its drama. The meaning of anything is just what that thing can teach him. Meanings are just the idealistic ideas that are important to him. In effect, meaning is given to ideas that function in a manner that can neutralise anxiety. So meanings are always of the present, and not the past.
In reality, each individual mixes values and meanings. Values give structure and an element of rigidity to a person's character, and help determine his actions and behaviour. Hence they are objective. Whereas meanings are always subjective, since flexibility of character and ability to change are of prime importance.
The psychological difference between value and meaning revolves around the manner of handling anxiety.
beliefs and
values arise when attitudes and concepts become underpinned by anxiety.
Values are used as a defence against anxiety.
Meaning is given to ideas that function in a manner that can neutralise anxiety.
Values change as society changes because the old values can no longer resolve anxiety. New meanings are taken up as new values since they enable society to come to terms with change in a more harmonious way. In my view, values arise from karma, the diachronic mode. Meanings arise from the ego, the synchronic mode.
There are more notes on meaning and value at the beginning of the article The Antinomies of Kant.
The number in brackets at the end of each reference takes you back to the paragraph that featured it. The addresses of my other websites are on the Links page.
[¹]. For the meaning of signs and their role in language, see the article Semiology. [1]
[²]. Another view on the idea that subjectivity precedes objectivity is in the article Morality and its Origins, where I contrast the opposition between virtue and morality. [2]
[³]. I have an article that analyses ideology. See the article Paradigm and Ideology. Also, see the article Structure and Ideology in this section. [3]
[4]. My view is that since WW2, the pursuit of knowledge has become corrupted by the need for social control and conformity, especially in America. Science is turned into an ideology when free-thinking is proscribed if it is detrimental to business and financial interests. [4]
My definition of
is: Emotion
is the activity of
feeling directed into a mental concept.
My ideas on Emotion are described in three articles which are on all my psychology websites, such as Discover Your Mind. [5]
[6]. I have an article on Determinism. There are some notes on determinism and karma in the article Existentialism and Psychology. [6]

The endless richness of William Shakespeare's work contrasts with a relative poverty of information about his life. Even less is known about his wife, the former Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare spent most of his time in London, writing and acting, and returned to Anne in Stratford for only a few weeks a year until near the end of his life. When he died, his will infamously bequeathed her his "second best bed."
From these few facts, Robert Brustein weaves a tragic speculation in "The Last Will," the final piece of his trilogy about the Bard's life, now having its world premiere at the Modern Theatre in a co-production by Commonwealth Shakespeare Company and Suffolk University.

Oakland Athletics : The Drumbeat
All about the Oakland A's
Monthly Archive for June, 2008
Heavenly expectations
The A's go into Anaheim only 4.5 games down, not bad given that the Angels have a fantastic rotation, lights-out closer and more potent lineup. A's fans are lamenting a punchless Barton (zero extra base hits since June 11) and booing a collapse-prone Blanton, but overall the team is performing better than predicted. Angels fans […] [Read More]
Harden an All-Star?
Rich Harden keeps rolling along — blanking the Phillies on two hits (both to Shane Victorino) in eight innings in the A's 5-0 victory this afternoon. That's nine straight starts without an injury, knock on wood. Would Terry Francona take TWO A's starters for the AL All-Star team? Unfortunately, Ryan Sweeney had to leave the […] [Read More]
Seventh-inning turnaround
Back from the series opener with the Phillies — it didn't look promising for six innings but ended with everything going right. The A's fielded a weak lower half of the lineup with Murphy and Hannahan subbing for the ill Ellis and the sore-shouldered Chavez. We were arguing over how fast Jamie Moyer could pitch […] [Read More]
Confidence in Kentucky Joe
Billy Beane says he still expects to win when Joe Blanton takes the mound (tonight for instance). But the A's record for all games started by each pitcher (not their W-L records) certainly points out a cause for concern. Rich Harden 8-2 Justin Duchscherer 7-4 Dana Eveland 8-6 Greg Smith 8-6 Joe Blanton 4-12 – […] [Read More]
Mental errors
Watched a few innings of the A's-Marlins game yesterday before heading out to my son's Little League playoff. In both games, there was a key situation in which the first baseman fielded the ball, touched the bag and threw home to get a runner coming home from third. In the Little League game, the catcher […] [Read More]
Turning over the ball
From A's fan and former Chronicle staff writer W. Blake Gray: Carlos Gonzalez hit his first major-league home run Friday. The fan who caught the ball was criticized by the A's announcers for a full inning Saturday because, in Ray Fosse's words, "He didn't just take what he was offered for the ball and be […] [Read More]
Winning Uggla
Bring on Florida — a team whose 39-33 record seems impossible after the team traded its two highest-salary guys, Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera, to Detroit in the offseason and went with a $22.6 million payroll, half the size of any other team's. Second baseman Dan Uggla is having an MVP-type season for the flying […] [Read More]
Blanton's Bleeech
Like the Giants, though not as disastrous, the A's are having big problems with their Opening Day pitcher. Should Joe Blanton (stats), the first Oakland hurler to reach 10 losses this early in the season, be taken out of the rotation before he becomes Barry Zito East? The most obvious candidate to replace him, Chad […] [Read More]
A former player to root for
I still usually root for Dan Haren, who faces the A's tonight. That's not true of most of players who used to wear green and gold; I don't care much how they do. That got me thinking, what goes into the mysterious process that governs how you feel about one of your team's former players. […] [Read More]
Shades of 1999?
Looking forward to the A's-Diamondbacks series matching two good young teams. Three of the principals in the Danny Haren trade will play in it and a fourth, Dana Eveland, will be in the on the bench. While all eyes will be on Haren (vs. Joe Blanton, unfortunately) on Wednesday, tonight's matchup is the best — […] [Read More]

The crowd roared, the fireworks exploded and the big HD scoreboard announced that a Washington baseball club had clinched a postseason berth for the first time in 79 years after the Nats' 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night at Nationals Park.

Despite Hong Kong's reputation as one of the world's most tech-savvy cities, a mere 1 per cent of residents recycle their old phones at designated recycling sites.Thursday, 23 August, 2012, 2:46am
Organisers of last week's Club Crew World Championship dragon boat races have been criticised for failing to offer sufficient recycling facilities - not least by a team who used recycling to pay their way to the event.15 Jul 2012 - 12:00am
Green groups criticised police for wasting tonnes of water to fill plastic barriers during Hu Jintao's visit to Hong Kong:
Cindy Cheung - Why am I not surprised? The Hong Kong government hardly ever sets a good example of conservation.11 Jul 2012 - 12:00am
The government has not shown sufficient support for the recycling industry and a policy rethink is needed.24 Apr 2012 - 12:00am
Cheung Chau residents will be affected
I refer to the letter by Elvis W.K. Au, of the Environmental Protection Department ('Incinerator will meet the world's most stringent green operating standards', April 10).16 Apr 2012 - 12:00am
Edwin Lau Che-feng of Friends of the Earth ('Costly incinerator will be a waste of money', April 2), suggests that dealing with our waste problem is not rocket science. If it were that easy, a solution would be in place by now.14 Apr 2012 - 12:00am
I read that Friends of the Earth proposed HK1.30 as the cost of disposing of a rubbish bag under a government waste-charging scheme, amounting to HK$40 a month for a typical family (SCMP, March 23). But is this fair?
It is not fair if the levy is too high for poor families. The government will also be making extra money.10 Apr 2012 - 12:00am
I refer to the article by Edwin Lau Che-feng, of Friends of the Earth ('Costly incinerator will be a waste of money', April 2).10 Apr 2012 - 12:00am
Hong Kong people love to be up to date with electronic gadgets, but this in turn creates a huge amount of electronic waste. Many people buy several gadgets a year and throw away the old ones without too much thought, making e-waste a bigger threat than ever to the environment.7 Apr 2012 - 12:00am
Friends of the Earth has suggested a charge per bag of refuse of HK$1.30 under a proposed waste levy. The green group estimates this would come to about HK$40 a month for a typical family.2 Apr 2012 - 12:00am

I made this sauce with the brandy and it is wonderful over apple pie and bet it would be good on apple spice cake or just on vanilla ice cream.

This sauce could not be easier and it is delicious. I did one batch with Brandy and one with apple cider for my children and it turned out fantastic both ways! Perfect over the double crust apple pie recipe! Thank you for making our evening delicious!
