So while it is known that the PS3 Slim will not be backwards compatible "disc-wise" with PS2 games, Sony may have something up their sleeves to offer players in the form of downloadable content.
A document leak has occurred that involves Sega discussing Sony's plans to bring the PS2 back catalog to to PS3′s PSN and even possibly to throw some old Dreamcast games in there as well. With each new iteration of the PS3 containing a larger hard drive, it only seems plausible that DLC is indeed the wave of the future.
If you are having trouble remembering what some good Dreamcast games were, IGN has just run some content on the 25 best games for the 10-year anniversary of Sega's now defunct last console.
There's no doubt in my mind that DLC is a great thing I'm just worried that Sony is going to charge too much for each game. I can surmise that each PS2/Dreamcast title will be between $10-20, but I would be much more inclined to buy them if they were priced at $5 a piece.
Any thoughts?

Give the Gift of Uber this Holiday Season
From dodging winter weather to navigating shopping mall masses, getting around during the holidays is hard. Catching a ride with Uber isn't.
From dodging winter weather to navigating shopping mall masses, getting around during the holidays is hard. Catching a ride with Uber isn't.
It's hard to beat the lower uberX rates we announced recently, but how about... FREE? uberX, the low-cost Uber, is FREE this week in the DC area until Friday! Use promo code DCLOVESuberX for two free rides up to $20 each.
Even with the government shutdown, Washingtonians still have places to go. That's why we're thrilled to announce new uberX pricing today that makes the low-cost Uber more affordable than ever before—permanently.
Uber's got you covered for Virgin Mobile Freefest!
In DC we've seen first-hand the impact that our users' voices can make. In the past month we've heard your voices call for greater reliability with low cost, high quality transportation options like uberX. Today, with the help of the DC Council, we're increasing the supply of uberX vehicles on the road with ridesharing.
uberX has officially arrived in the nation's capital!
We're thrilled to announce that we've officially extended our reliable coverage area to include Alexandria and the surrounding neighborhoods!
St. Patrick's Day is upon us, and this year there's more luck to be found when you ride with Uber!
It's time to #SuitUpDC! Indochino's Traveling Tailor reaches DC March 2nd and runs to the 10th at Living Social's 918 F St. Uber is excited to be partnering with Indochino to offer all appointment holders the chance to win a free suit and round trip transportation from Uber!
Some of you early adopters here in DC may remember the UBERcade from last year. Today, we're taking it even further: there won't just be one UBERcade on the road... there will be three.

A young and healthy Hugo Chavez visited Citgo in Southwest Louisiana, some 10 years ago, since Citgo is owned by Venezuela. Yet, in this country, he's been called a dictator and a tyrant -- anti-American and anti democracy.
And some local people from Venezuela, such as Yajaira Rada and Hernando Moran, agree.
"It's a new era, who's going to lead Venezuela. We want a Venezuela in peace. We want a Venezuela happy," said Rada, who has been in the U.S. for about sixteen years.
Moran has been here closer to 30 years.
"He (Chavez) did a lot of damage to the country. I feel he had a lot of blood on his hands. A lot of people had to leave the country, had to leave their heart over there," said Moran.
McNeese political scientist Henry Sirgo says before Chavez, Venezuela was the most democratic country in South America.
"From 1958 until basically the first time Chavez tried to overthrow the government in 1992 it was a quite well functioning democracy," said Sirgo.
He hopes Chavez passing will mean better days for the people of Venezuela.
"See what happens with the next election. I think if somebody other than the vice president wins, I think there's hope for Venezuela regressing toward a more democratic less authoritarian society," said Sirgo.
While local residents from Venezuela acknowledge Chavez' help to the poor, they say so many have suffered and had to leave their homeland.
"We couldn't find jobs. All our companies where we were working closed their doors," Rada said.
Moran said people who opposed Chavez were blacklisted, but eventually the whole economy suffered.
" Venezuelans right now, their salaries for all the Venezuelans are 25 percent, of what it was in 1978," said Moran.
With Chavez' passing, they hope to see an improved economy and democracy in Venezuela. Elections must be held within 30 days of Chavez's death.

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
POWELL (WATE) - As many pet owners know, taking care of beloved dogs and cats can get expensive.
Unfortunately, that high cost of care forces some to put off the procedures their pets need.
But one local vet clinic is trying to change that, by working hard to meet the needs of pet owners on a budget.
Helping pets live long and healthy lives is what Powell Animal Hospital is all about.
That's why the staff became so concerned when more and more clients recently started turning down recommended annual bloodwork, which can be costly.
"They were doing what they had to do, like vaccines and heartworm tests, but the recommended bloodwork they weren't able to do," said Dr. Ashley Walker, a veterinarian at Powell.
Dr. Walker said that was when she and the other veterinarians knew they had to make a change.
"It breaks our heart when they say they can't afford it and you know that we may really be missing something," said Walker.
Powell Animal Hospital used to conduct their own bloodwork in house or send it to a massive outside lab.
But over the last month, they've started sending the blood profiles to a different outside lab, ANTECH Diagnostic.
ANTECH specializes in lab work from veterinary clinics, making their services cost a lot less than other labs that conduct various types of testing and analysis.
The switch is saving Powell a lot of money, and that savings is now being passed on to Powell's clients.
"That senior profile before was $200 and it's only $110 now," said Walker.
Before the new policy, Powell was only testing one to two profiles per week. Now, they perform more than five per day.
Dr. Walker said it's great news, because annual bloodwork helps them catch any underlying health problems that would otherwise go undetected.
"We did a senior profile on her and found out she is in renal failure. Cat was acting fine at home, but now we're able to get her better quicker. She may have gotten really bad and we may not have been able to save her," said Dr. Walker, speaking about a cat that was brought into the clinic this week.
"Dogs and cats can't tell us when they're hurting," said Dr. Walker. "We care a lot about animals and we want to make sure the human-animal bond is kept for as long as possible."
For more information, call Powell Animal Hospital at 865-938-1884 or visit their website.

What would you do if you realized the woman you've been chatting with at a hotel pool is actually a celebrity? A caller to WZZR Real Radio in south Florida said that's just what happened to him when he hung out with Bethenny Frankel poolside over the weekend. The call came in to the south Florida talk radio station WZZR Real Radio's Penthouse show on Feb. 10.
The caller said he was at a hotel in Jupiter, Fla. with this family and his four-year-old daughter became friends with another little girl at the pool. After a while he realized why the other girl's mother looks so familiar. It was Frankel, he says.
The girls played together so well the two families spent the afternoon together in the pool and hot tub.
According to the caller, Bethenny was with a very muscular man who she appeared to be in a romantic relationship with. Sounds like Michael Cerussi III (a.k.a. Mac) who she spent time with on the beach in Miami last month.
The caller described Bethenny Frankel as nice, friendly and tiny.
Have you ever met a celebrity like this?

Coordinate time and proper time.
View Single Post
Feb20-12, 05:11 PM
Thank you guys. That is very helpful. I still have some questions though. I guess I am gonna need more time to absorb the concept here :)
So whenever [tex]\Delta x=0[/tex] in some reference frame,
[tex](\Delta s)^2=(c\Delta \tau )^2=(c\Delta t)^2[/tex]
Is this always true? at least in the context of special relativity?
Also, in a problem I found it says suppose there are two fire crackers. And we put a clock in between the two firecrackers, but not half way. The two firecrackers explode.
So, my thinking is: in the reference frame of the clock, where the two firecrackers are stationery to the clock, the time the clock will measure between the two events (explosion of the two fire crackers) is the coordinate time and also proper time since [tex]\Delta x=0[/tex]
However, if we supposed the fire crackers along with the clocks were moving with a constant velocity with respect to another ref frame, then in that frame the time the previous clock will measure is the coordinate time but not the proper time because [tex]\Delta x\neq 0[/tex] between the two events (clock receives light from one explosion then after some time receives the light from the other firecracker)
Is my understanding of the problem correct? or no? Also, can we safely say proper time is a special case of coordinate time? And space time interval is a special case of proper time?
@pervect: We have not actually studied the spacelike and timelike intervals yet. But may I ask you, if you know or you know a good link, who came up first with the idea that if [tex]c\Delta t[/tex] is used, then a deep quantity such as spacetime will show up?
Thank you again

we just saw one in Bimma Loft SF (http://www.bimmaloft.com/site/index.php)
they have the adjustable height coffee table (which can unfold to a dinning table for 6). it's called the Calligaris Flexy. http://www.bedroom-furniture-direct.com/Calligaris-CS-5013-GN1259.html#additional
it's very cool.
I own a round one, in wood, probably English from the 40s or 50s. It works with a handle and can be used to seat up to 6 people. Purchased at a flea market, but I've never seen any like it since.
Actually, my mother uses an antique ironing board as her coffee table! I love the idea.
Something like this would also be cool. I went to see this little coffee table in person, its beautiful but the glass top doesn't fit it...I would get rid of the glass top. This table lifts and you can add more tabs to make it a dinning table. Its so cool! http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/fuo/842203321.html
Where is the table in the photo from? I'd like the name of the store or website-it's a great looking table and what I've been looking for!

As it is, anyone can just play and save up points to get the blue set and the purple off-set, and that's enough to be competitive in BGs. In arena, there's almost no time invested, it just takes skill. What exactly do you expect to change?

Of Thee I Sing (2010)
by Barack Obama
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is President Barack Obama's open letters to his daughters, telling them about various characteristics he sees in them that he admires. He then links each characteristic to a famous American who also displayed the same characteristic.
I wanted to like this book, perhaps just because I loved Loren Long's illustrations so much. As usual, he does not disappoint, and his illustrations are breathtakingly lovely. There is, of course, the controversial illustration of Sitting Bull, the only Native American Indian featured, being depicted as literally part of the land rather than a person in his own right like everyone else in the book. The controversy notwithstanding, it is a well-executed - if poorly chosen - design.
Yet overall the book itself felt kind of flat. I like the idea of linking positive attributes with historical figures, which can give children a sense of purpose and/or motivation if they feel lagging or wonder why they even bother being a good person. But there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to anything here. The historical figures mentioned range from Revolutionary War figures to near contemporary ones, although they are by no means listed in a chronological fashion. and their contributions are anywhere from artistic to political to scientific and everywhere in between. It's not that I object to the people included per se, it's more that it just felt like the selection and placement was completely random.
Perhaps as is often the case when someone pens something for a specific audience and then decides to also try to sell it for a broader one, it seemed like this book is something Obama's daughters should embrace as a lovely gift from their father. But meanwhile, the rest of us are just eavesdropping on a conversation we aren't really a part of after all. That being said though, it does appear that many people other than me did enjoy this book greatly and get a lot out of it, so as always, this review is just my opinion and that opinion is not often the majority one. I could see how this book could be useful as a jumping off point to talk about one or more of the historical figures mentioned, but this isn't the learning tool I would pick out first myself.
Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters by Barack Obama is an informational book that teaches about diversity and American History. Each page begins with a question such as: "Have I told you that you are creative?" Then introduces a person from our American History that was creative: "A woman names Georgia O'Keeffe moved to the desert and painted petals, bone, nark. She helped us see big beauty in what is small:the hardness of stone and the softness of feather." Some others included in this book are: Albert Einstein, Jackie Robinson, Billie Holiday, Helen Keller and many others.
This would be a good book to introduce to students when beginning a unit on biographies. Each student could choose a person from this book or elsewhere to research and learn more about. This book also addressed diversity issues that could be addressed within the classroom.
I loved this book! I love the way it introduces children to a wide variety of Americans throughout history. It brings up people of all races, from all parts of America. It would be a great book to introduce biographies to kids.
"Of Thee I Sing" is such a heartwarming book from a father to his daughters. Barack Obama wrote this book to his two daughters. In this book Obama tells his daughters that they are so many amazing things and he tells them of the great people of America's past. This book is full of vibrant pictures that show these monumental people; with the pictures Obama tells his daughters of the great things that they did. Obama wrote this book to not only tell his daughters about America's history, but to also tell them that a little bit of every person he talked about lives inside his daughters and in everybody. This is great for students to read because they would not only get a short history lesson, but they could also get a sense of the all of the possibilities that life has for them.
This letter to Barack Obama's daughters is a book that illustrates why Obama is proud of his daughters and reminds them to grow up to be strong women. This book does not only mention Obama's daughters but it is interesting because it gives information on people who made important changes in the world as it stands today. This book is a very informative read and it also shows Obama's pride in his daughters.
Obama appears to have turned away all help with the writing of his children's story: The book reads like it really is a letter from a very busy dad-president - no rhythm, no rhyme, no rat-a-tat-tat. What's a children's tale without a fancy step or two? "Of Thee I Sing" sadly has no melody.

"In this tender, beautiful letter to his daughters, President Barack Obama has written a moving tribute to thirteen groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation. From the artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to the patriotism of George Washington, President Obama sees the traits of these heroes within his own children, and within all of America's children"--Book jacket.… (more)

I found the thd() in calculator only has 5 arguments (e.g. from, to, # samples, fundamental frequency).
For example, I'm doing a FFT with sample frequency of 8192KHz with from=1ms to=2ms and fundamental frequency is 5KHz.
I want to calculate the THD within 20 ~ 20KHz instead of 0 ~ 4096KHz which thd() does since it doesn't include Fmin/Fmax arguments.
Is there anyone can help? Thanks!
Is there somebody who can help me on how to plot THD in spectrw. I have a CMOS OTA design for which I have to evaluate HD3 and THD.
Did you actually try using the thd() function? If so, what did you try? Which version of the tools are you using?
hi Andrew,
i've got the same question.
i'm using version 6.1.5 ISR17 calculator.
Your first post appeared at just before 6pm my time, and second after 10pm, having broken the forum guidelines and posted on an old thread. It wasn't clear which of the two questions in this thread you were asking, but given that this forum is covered by Cadence folks in their spare time (and I do have a life outside of work), being quite so pushy is a bit unreasonable.
If it is urgent, you should go to customer support at support.cadence.com
If not I will look into this once I'm back from being on vacation tomorrow.
Andrew ( just before 11pm UK time )


text: Still, with six gears, a supercharger, intercooler, air conditioning and ABS crammed under the hood, there's no room left for a battery. The battery in the Cooper S sits under the floor of the trunk, where it improves weight distribution anyway. Of course, that's where the spare tire in the Mini Cooper is stashed, so the Cooper S is fitted with run-flat tires and a warning system that watches the wheel speed sensors for the slight difference in rolling speed that occurs when a tire loses pressure. Without a spare, of course, you don't need a jack. This is a problem when the oil pan is sitting on the sand and the front tires have dug nice holes to spin in. A jack would make it a lot easier to get a piece of driftwood under the tire. Manuel, unlike most of the Portuguese we met, is completely unaffected by Mini mania. He's far more fascinated by the situation than the car itself. "I have a car," he says, "but I don't drive it on the beach." Thank you. I'm an idiot. Can I borrow your jack? Fifteen minutes with the jack and we've moved the car two feet. Doing the math, it will take 13 hours to get off the beach. We've already been awake for 29 hours. Manuel calls the fire department. We did get a few hours to flog the Mini before the photographic inspiration hit, and it was good. It's not the power that's most striking, but the steering. With a super-quick 13:1 steering gear and the Mini's short wheelbase, it's delightfully quick, and precise enough that I can confidently hang a tread block or two off the inside edge of the pavement. Surprisingly, the handling character is similar to the original Mini. The car follows the front tires obediently- this doesn't seem to be a car you slide around. Then again, it doesn't exactly understeer either. There's far more grip than you'd expect, and there was limited room to explore the surprisingly high handling limits, what with all the pointing Portuguese children and swooning Portuguese women. We'll know better when we get it on our own roads in a few months. Luckily, the interior doesn't mimic the original Mini nearly as much as the handling. In place of the old Mini's fetal driving position, the new car has room to stretch out. My 36-inch inseam still doesn't justify putting the seat all the way back, and there's plenty of helmet room, at least without a sunroof. The only tight spot is over the clutch pedal, where even with driving shoes, a size 10 1/2 can't stand up. Those with well-endowed walkers will have to lift their whole leg to release the clutch. The interior design, materials and overall quality feel make it obvious BMW is behind this car. There's a sense of solidity inside the car, a feeling that no matter how much sand you track into the carpets, the interior will hold up well. In Portugal, the fire department uses four-wheel-drive Nissan Patrols, unstoppable rock crawlers that can go almost anywhere. Even a Patrol sinks into the sand trying to pull a beached Mini, though. Just when we think it's finally over, the fireman gives up and calls a tow truck. Both the 115-hp Mini Cooper and the Cooper S will be on sale by the time you read this, with the supercharged S starting at $19,850-$3,000 more than the base car. Odds are you'll pay a bit more if you want one any time soon. A total of 20,000 Minis are slated for the United States this year, but the waiting lists are long. If you do get your hands on one, stay off the beach. 2002 MINI COOPER S Estimated Price : $19,850 ENGINE Type : Inline four, iron block, aluminum head, supercharged and intercooled Valvetrain : SOHC, four valves per cylinder Displacement : 1598cc Bore x Stroke : 85.8mm x 77.0mm Compression Ratio : 8.3:1 Claimed Crank Hp : 163 hp @ 6000 rpm Claimed Crank Torque : 155 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm « | 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?

Ensuring High Availability with InfiniDB
InfiniDB is used for high-value, Big Data analytics deployments where processing speed is essential. The ability to analyze tens or hundreds of Terabytes and return results in seconds is often utilized for mission-critical Business Intelligence and advanced analytics applications.
As we work with customers that design and build these kinds of applications, we are often asked "what High Availability options are available for InfiniDB?"
Fortunately, InfiniDB was architected specifically for large-scale deployments and has many built-in capabilities for redundancy and high availability. Its two main processing components, the User Module and Performance Module, natively handle redundancy and failover. As with most systems of this type, however, what InfiniDB does internally is only part of an overall HA strategy. An application architecture using InfiniDB will also need to address many other types of redundancy (network/IP redundancy, storage/disk redundancy, power redundancy, etc.) to implement an effective HA strategy.
As we help customers evaluate options for high-availability deployment, there are some of the aspects we consider:
- What are the availability requirements for your application?
- What are the performance requirements for your application?
- Will the deployment be on-premise or cloud-based?
- What platform infrastructure already exists (networking, storage, etc.)?
- How does your application expect/need to interface to the storage engine?
For full details and more information on ensuring High Availability in your InfiniDB cluster, please see our InfiniDB High Availability Guide.

Shion: The attendees of the first LiveStream should know what is coming next on the following part that I will be uploading soon!
Nezumi: And since they know what is to follow, I say we don't upload it at all.
Nezumi: Very clever use of an alibi, anon. For your convenience we have now opened submissions to this blog.
All submissions will be at our discretion.
Nezumi: This has been sitting in our inbox for a while, but my answer remains the same since the day I saw it. Photos or it never happened. (/smirks)
Shion: Nezumi is cute more often than you all think.
(/OOC: For your convenience, and because we didn't want to take up too much of your dash, we have condensed the questions we've dubbed "twincest" into a single post. We still had a few more questions left in the inbox, and we have answered them on this post as well!)
Shion: Papa? B-but, I'm too young to be a father. I think something strange is going on, Nezumi…
We have a remote database system where information can be exchanged, published, and uploaded for the general public of No. 6. There is all sorts of information that can be accessed through it, but it's limited on what your ID number is and where you work or live and study. It's all filtered through the ID bracelet. For instance, I was able to get more information about my field of study in Chronos than in Lost Town. When attempting to access an article that Safu wanted me to read, was denied much to my dismay. There's no forums or social networking per say, unless it's a part of the business or profession you do. We still like the old fashioned method of lecturing and instructing.
Nezumi: I will say this only once more with the utmost sincerity. Please refrain yourselves from calling me father, daddy, or any variation of those names. I am neither amused by the fact that so many of you seem to think you have an ounce of my good looks or talent, nor tickled to think that at 16-years old I would be the bearer of a child. Please stop.
Shion: Well, it is reproductively possibl-
Nezumi: (/sighs) Let's just end the subject here?
Shion: Awwww~!
Nezumi: That might just define the word stalker.
Shion: That's mean Nezumi. I appreciate you all!
(OOC: You can find us on these websites:
If you are looking for us on a particular website look for SplitImageCosplay or SplitImageCos. : D We keep it pretty simple! <3 Thanks so much for you support and interest!)
Nezumi: I don't have a problem with anonymous posts or questions. In fact, I prefer them. The less personal, the better.
Shion: Thank you for the support anyway! (/big smile)
Nezumi: I swear to Elyurias, Shion, I give into your requests far too often for my sanity.
Hamlet: Chirp chip chip, eeee eee chip!
Moonlight: Chi, Cheep.
Cravat: Cheep cheep, chip, eee eeeeee e, chip ee squeek chirp che cheep chip.
Shion: Couldn't have said it better! You are all so articulate.
HO, HO, HO! Come and join the holiday fun!
Who is ready for some prizes?
Thank you yo everyone who attended tonight's LiveStream! A big congratulations to all the winners of the prizes! Hope we can afford to do this again sometime soon!
We have started the Christmas themed LiveStream! Please join us has the festivities!
Who's there?
The LiveStream has now ended! Hope everyone will come back and join the LiveStream tomorrow at 7 PM CST! Bring your hot chocolate and a candy cane or two!
Shion: …. This is proof of the many difficulties that we face in our daily relationship with each other.
Nezumi: Whatever, I don't care.

Walnut Orange Muffins
From her home in Spearville, Kansas, Pat Habiger shares the recipe for these glazed orange muffins. They're so moist, butter isn't needed. Serve them warm with mugs of coffee or hot apple cider.
12 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
4 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, buttermilk and
orange peel. Combine flour and baking soda; add to creamed mixture
just until blended. Stir in walnuts.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at
350° for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the muffin
comes out clean.
In a bowl, combine the orange juice and brown sugar until dissolved.
Spoon over warm muffins. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan
to a wire rack. Yield: about 1 dozen.

my right arm is 17" no pump and my left is 16 1/4 no pump, i can kinda tell but nobody else really can, is this a common thing? how do i fix it? thanks
my right arm is 17" no pump and my left is 16 1/4 no pump, i can kinda tell but nobody else really can, is this a common thing? how do i fix it? thanks
i don't know how common it is, but i have the same problem. unfortaneately my arms aren't as big as yours, but i do have a size differential. i've looked around about fixing this problem and most people suggest doing a couple extra reps for the smaller arm when working arms until they catch up. i'm currently trying this and i'll post a little later to let you know if i see any results
even in pro-bbers your get a size difference in arms.
my exprience - joined gym 10 years ago, 6 1/2 years hard weight training exprience.
I don't think there are very many people who are completely symmetrical. Most people have a dominant side; the arm on that side is generally bigger than the other with more use. A good way to bring them as close to the same size as possible is to do heavy arm sets with dbs, and if it's an exercise like concentration curls or seated tricep extensions where you work one arm then the other, do your left arm first, then on your right do the exact same number of reps your left did, even if you can do more with your right. Or just learn and achieve ambidexterity.

text: So in the last semester I spent at SCAD (over a year ago now, that's crazy) I had a drawing assignment where I was supposed to choose three objects that I felt represented me and put them in a drawing. My professor called it a "Symbolic Self-Portrait." Most people in my class chose really trivial, literal items, like a game controller for the Game Design majors, lipstick for the girls who were into fashion, etc. I felt pretty sheepish by the time it came for me to talk about mine during our class critique. I had done this incredibly personal drawing, and I didn't really expect to share myself with so many people on such a personal level. It just kind of came out of me. I can't stop thinking about this drawing lately, and how perfectly it really does represent me and everything I struggle with daily, even now. First, I chose a bell jar. This is an object often used and referred to in literature as a symbol of madness. Scientifically, it's used to maintain a vacuum. In my drawing, I saw it as a symbol of the madness created by isolation from the outside world. I often live too much in my own head, and isolate myself from others, and that is when I start to feel trapped and sometimes even wonder if I am going mad (or will someday). The second object I chose was a paper crane. The paper crane is a symbol of hope in Japanese culture, based on the legend of 1,000 Cranes. It is often made from plain white paper - to me, personally, a symbol of purity and opportunity, especially in a creative sense. A fresh start, which at times is liberating, and at times overwhelming and intimidating. The last object I chose was a pair of scissors. These can be used in so many ways, to both create and also to destroy, even as a deadly weapon if necessary. So much potential that could easily go either way. The crane's wing is between the scissor blades, suggesting that they could clip it and therefore keep it from "flying" at any moment, and the crane sits inside the bell jar, trapped. Both of my parents have struggled with depression for most of their lives. My mom has been diagnosed with clinical depression, and my dad with manic depression. I see similar tendencies in myself, though I try my damnedest to stay strong and positive, and may be somewhat hesitant to admit that I may suffer from the same clinical issues. But the truth is, sometimes it's like this…darkness just comes over me for no apparent reason, like right now. And while I know I have no reason to feel the way I do, I just can't seem to shake it off. And then I just feel even more overwhelmed with fear and panic and guilt and sadness all at the same time. It's paralyzing. One of my biggest struggles is to battle this darkness. While I know I have the potential for hope and amazing opportunities like the white paper crane, I can't help but feel trapped in this bell jar, caught between two blades. I know I have the ability and the intelligence to do great things, but I feel convinced that I will only destroy myself in the end. And even now, reading what I've written so far, I know I can overcome all of this, but I've reached this point so many times before only to fall back into the same rut over and over again. I don't know how to break the cycle. personal will probably delete this later art and soul therabbitandthegarden likes thissoloconfe likes thisbinals likes thisplexxaglass likes thissuburbiopolis likes thissarasaturday posted this

Why is the Nick Hanauer talk not posted?
I haven't been a member for long, but I've been watching TED talks for years now consistently checking in for new videos. Frankly, the talks have gotten a little bland in the past few months. Then I hear through the grapevine of Nick Hanauer's lecture and how Mr. Anderson has decided to censor it. I'm extremely disappointed in the decision. This is an issue on the mind of many people in America and those interested in American politics and economics. It's an something that deserves to be heard by many more people than the elite TED audiences, and what better way to spread this worthy idea than posting the lecture online, sooner rather than later. The cited reason for omitting the lecture was that it was "too political." I have to say that is a terrible excuse. When has TED attempted to remain apolitical? Speakers have discussed societal ills like poverty and war; Jonathan Haidt has put forth an explanation of the psychological differences between the Republicans and Democrats; Sam Harris proposed science can substitute religion as a source of morality, and very early on in TED's history Richard Dawkins was allowed to promote militant atheism; other hot button political issues like contraception and climate change have been discussed here (often more than once); and all of these speakers had the video of their quite political talks posted. All of a sudden we can't view here a perspective on the issue of income inequality from Mr. Hanauer? I seem to remember Richard Wilkinson discussing a very similar topic posted back in October 2011. Mr. Anderson, I think a more substantial explanation is in order regarding your decision not to post Mr. Hanauer's talk online other than it being "too political." I can't speak for anyone else, but I see the decision as an act of cowardice reflecting on the organization as a whole. It suggests that we, the public, have lost TED as a forum for intellectual discussion and consideration regarding important issues, political or otherwise.

Alex LamasMay 21 2012: Not only has TED not posted the original talk but now they are censoring these posts. I wrote a reply to a post, where I criticized TED, accused them of kowtowing to their wealthy benefactors and that they find this kind of talk threatening. Well they deleted not only my response but the whole thread. They will probably censor this whole conversation as well. Don't be surprised if all of this gets deleted.
Here is the title to the talk that has been removed:

The majority of the online sports betting players that tried out the online casinos and Poker games
have experienced both the No Limit and Fixed Limit style of games. While some prefer the No Limit game, there are also advantages to playing with Fixed
Limits. Here is a quick look at some of the differences between the two types of games.
There is no denying that there is a greater chance of winning a ton of money in short spurts playing No Limit Poker, but there should also be caution in
the fact that there is also the chance of losing more. That type of high-risk, high-reward game is something that a lot of people are int...Read full article

are really on the Strip trying to win a jackpot.

Sadly, it's not the economy alone
April 23, 2009
It is human - or perhaps just journalistic - nature to think we can explain the inexplicable. We take all the horrifying details that tumble from first one murder-suicide that wipes out an entire family and then unbelievably a second one - the sunny yellow house, the 10th-floor hotel room, the three little tykes, the two sisters, the mom who blogged and the one who volunteered - and we grasp for a universal string theory that will tie the who-what-where-when-and-how to a why.

Holton poll seems downright quaint
April 2, 2009
It may be the second-most-noteworthy thing about the now infamous poll conducted during City Councilwoman Helen L. Holton's 2007 re-election campaign - the response to a name-recognition question. After serving on the council since 1995, and thinking she might have a shot at a citywide office in the future, Holton surely had to be taken aback by these results:

My first reaction to that cell-phone video of Jolita Berry being pummeled by one of her students was this: Any one of the teachers of my youth could have taken that girl, easy. But then, I didn't go to Reginald F. Lewis High School in Baltimore; I went to Catholic school in suburban Chicago where the nuns - however wizened and, at least in my earliest grades, weighed down by their veils, robes and swinging ropes of rosaries - were quite fearsome.

'Ah, Baltimore,' Dixon indictment another exasperating moment
January 10, 2009
It was another "ah, Baltimore" moment. Ever get those? You get exasperated by some bureaucratic runaround at City Hall, and you sigh and steam and maybe that vein on your forehead starts to throb. But after a while, you learn to just surrender - "ah, Baltimore" - and accept you're going to have dial one more number or go to one other office or just do without whatever it is you thought you needed.
Two indictments, but so many loose ends
January 8, 2009
For some years now, the state prosecutor's long-running investigation of City Hall shenanigans has played out like Chinese water torture, drip by excruciating drip. A subpoena here, a plea bargain there, even a raid on the mayor's home - but what did it all add up to?

The elephant in the room

What the IPU does effectively is place the Christian in the position the skeptic is normally forced to inhabit. There's no scientific evidence for a god and no means to prove its existence outside of faith, which by nature in inarguable. The skeptic can demonstrate thoroughly that there's no reason to believe in a god, at which point the Christian falls back to the faith argument. It's frustrating to demonstrate by all means available that a conclusion is unsubstantiated, only to be countered by "it does because I believe it in my heart". The IPU puts the Christian in this position.
The intended result is to show a Christian how nonsensical his argumentation is. Unfortunately, the argument tends to go over their heads or be swept under the rug with a condescending "if they had faith, they'd understand".
- Metacrock said...
what such terms does is to legitimate the pretense that scientific expectations are the only form reality can take.
"There's no scientific evidence for a god and no means to prove its existence outside of faith, which by nature in inarguable."
why should there be? It's not in the domain of scinece. It's not a scientific question. You might also want to see my post on empirical superannuate and also the one on Lourdes because both offer the stunning fact that is some scientific evince, although not direct.
the 200 studies on religious experience is scientific evidence for God.
- Metacrock said...
terms like IPU just reduce God ot the level of a thin in creation. That makes it seem like we are taking about one of several entities instead of a competency unique category of being. not a being but being itself.
God is not just another fact added to the universe but the basis of all that is. that means just changing signifiers from "God" to "IPU" does nothing.
the reason for doing it is cleary derisive.
- BK said...
Anonymous (I wish you'd identify yourself, btw), I obviously disagree wholeheartedly with your comment. Anyone who believes that there is no evidence for God's existence is simply closing their minds. You are effectively substituting "mathematical proof" as the definition for "evidence", but if you use the real definition of evidence ("data on which to base proof or to establish truth or falsehood") you would see that there is a ton of evidence for God's existence. And if you have read this blog with any regularity you would clearly see that no one here argues that God exists because "I believe it in my heart."
But I am more curious: exactly how does your pretending that there is a mythical being effectively "place the Christian in the position the skeptic is normally forced to inhabit"? You see, the IPU has no evidence to establish its existence (using the real definition of evidence), while God has a lot of data that supports his existence (if you would open your eyes and not give knee-jerk reactions). So tell me, how does the IPU advance your cause?
- Anonymous said...
@BK, re Anonymous, I don't detect you disclosing your identity, either.
What Anonymous is explaining is that theists create a special pleading category for arguments for their deity-idea. Such theists don't accept as evidence such special pleading arguments in any other part of their existence or experience, but demand the privilege of using special pleading arguments in defense of their deity-idea.
- Anonymous said...
You can't claim that God is outside the "domain of science", and simultaneously claim that there's "some" scientific evidence for God. Sorry, it doesn't fly.
- BK said...
So, Anonyjmous, here's the deal: I have not posted my name and address as part of my ID on this site and I don't expect anyone else to do so. However, it would be helpful to use some type of ID so I know if the person posting this time as "anonymous" is the same person who posted last time as "anonymous." To quote Captain Jack Sparrow, "Savvy?"
Second, I reject your claim of special pleading. I am sure that some Christians use special pleading in the same way that some atheists do. But most apologists don't use special pleading.
Finally, if you're the same Anonymous who posted the sixth comment, too, I would note that God is outside of the Domain of Science in the sense that you cannot test for Him. But you certainly can note that the evidence is there in the natural world because He does, at times, intercede and you can see how he intercedes with such things as miracles. That's what Metacrock was discussing. These are not mutually exclusive.

The Word: Carrie Bradshaw (aka Sarah Jessica Parker) launches shoe line
Watch out Ivanka Trump, Rachel Bilson, Halle Berry, Fergie, Jessica Simpson, Santana and the seemingly endless list of celebrities who have a shoe line — Sarah Jessica Parker is stepping into the business.
The actress, who famously portrayed the shoe-obsessed Carrie Bradsaw in "Sex and the City," is launching her own line of footwear, trenches and purses called SJP. The line will be available next year at Nordstrom.
According to Vogue, she is teaming up with George Malkemus, the longtime CEO at Manolo Blahnik for the line, because, basically, she is going to milk the character of Carrie Bradshaw until there isn't a drop left.
As for the SJP line, "It's sort of soup to nuts," she tells the magazine. "You put on a shoe and you put on a coat and you wear a bag and, on the outside, when you're walking down the street, they really can tell the same story about yourself."
And that story is: You have a lot of money (or at least a high credit line) as the shoes will range from $200 to $300, and bags will likely sell for around $700.
