So I kind of accidentally jumped ship over here. My roleplay blog slowly but surely became my personal blog. And long story short, I'm honestly just not going to be using this one as much for a while. I'll probably be back here eventually. But I think my roleplay blog just kind of turned into my main blog.
I started posting gifs over there. And actually, um, talking and such. So if you want to find me, I suppose I moved.
I'm now at thefacesofrae. Hope to see you there.

Described as "drop dead gorgeous with a wonderful interplay of timbres," (Early Music America) and praised for "impeccable, soulful playing" (New York Times), Quicksilver vibrantly explores the rich chamber music repertoire of the early modern period, from the strange and extravagant trio sonatas of the Italian seventeenth century to the spectacular chamber music of the High Baroque. Featured at early music series throughout North America, Quicksilver has garnered accolades in the press from coast to coast.

We're contemporary lovers
from two different universes.
Entry into either must be
through imagination or dreams.
Once arrived, perception is real
and what was prior, impossible
to attain is now possible:
Our futile love becomes yielding;
Worldly differences disappear;
yet our conceptuality
always plays out differently
in these dreamy parallel worlds;
but one thing remains a constant
throughout these fantasies: Our love.

Experts Call for Research on Prevalence of Delayed Neurological Dysfunction After Head Injury
One of the most controversial topics in neurology today is the prevalence of serious permanent brain damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Long-term studies and a search for genetic risk factors are required in order to predict an individual's risk for serious permanent brain damage, according to a review article published by Sam Gandy, MD, PhD, from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in a special issue of Nature Reviews Neurology dedicated to TBI.
About one percent of the population in the developed world has experienced TBI, which can cause serious long-term complications such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is marked by neuropsychiatric features such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, depression, and aggression. Patients may be normal for decades after the TBI event before they develop AD or CTE. Although first described in boxers in the 1920s, the association of CTE with battlefield exposure and sports, such as football and hockey, has only recently begun to attract public attention.
"Athletes such as David Duerson and Junior Seau have brought to light the need for preventive measures and early diagnosis of CTE, but it remains highly controversial because hard data are not available that enable prediction of the prevalence, incidence, and individual risk for CTE," said Dr. Gandy, who is Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry and Director of the Center for Cognitive Health at Mount Sinai. "We need much more in the way of hard facts before we can advise the public of the proper level of concern."
Led by Dr. Gandy, the authors evaluated the pathological impact of single-incident TBI, such as that sustained during military combat; and mild, repetitive TBI, as seen in boxers and National Football League (NFL) players to learn what measures need to be taken to identify risk and incidence early and reduce long-term complications.
Mild, repetitive TBI, as is seen in boxers, football players, and occasionally military veterans who suffer multiple blows to the head, is most often associated with CTE, or a condition called "boxer's dementia." Boxing scoring includes a record of knockouts, providing researchers with a starting point in interpreting an athlete's risk. But no such records exist for NFL players or soldiers on the battlefield.
Dr. Gandy and the authors of the Nature Reviews Neurology piece suggest recruiting large cohorts of players and military veterans in multi-center trials, where players and soldiers maintain a TBI diary for the duration of their lives. The researchers also suggest a genome-wide association study to clearly identify risk factors of CTE. "Confirmed biomarkers of risk, diagnostic tools, and long-term trials are needed to fully characterize this disease and develop prevention and treatment strategies," said Dr. Gandy.
Amyloid imaging, which has recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, may be useful as a monitoring tool in TBI, since amyloid plaques are a hallmark symptom of AD-type neurodegeneration. Amyloid imaging consists of a PET scan with an injection of a contrast agent called florbetapir, which binds to amyloid plaque in the brain, allowing researchers to visualize plaque deposits and determine whether the diagnosis is CTE or AD, and monitor progression over time. Tangle imaging is expected to be available soon, complementing amyloid imaging and providing an affirmative diagnosis of CTE. Dr. Gandy and colleagues recently reported the use of amyloid imaging to exclude AD in a retired NFL player with memory problems under their care at Mount Sinai.
Clinical diagnosis and evaluation of mild, repetitive TBI is a challenge, indicating a significant need for new biomarkers to identify damage, report the authors. Measuring cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may reflect damage done to neurons post-TBI. Previous research has identified a marked increase in CSF biomarkers in boxers when the CSF is taken soon after a fight, and this may predict which boxers are more likely to develop detrimental long-term effects. CSF samples are now only obtained by invasive lumbar puncture; a blood test would be preferable.
"Biomarkers would be a valuable tool both from a research perspective in comparing them before and after injury and from a clinical perspective in terms of diagnostic and prognostic guidance," said Dr. Gandy. "Having the biomarker information will also help us understand the mechanism of disease development, the reasons for its delayed progression, and the pathway toward effective therapeutic interventions."
Currently, there are no treatments for boxer's dementia or CTE, but these diseases are preventable. "With more protective equipment, adjustments in the rules of the game, and overall education among athletes, coaches, and parents, we should be able to offer informed consent to prospective sports players and soldiers. With the right combination of identified genetic risk factor, biomarkers, and better drugs, we should be able to dramatically improve the outcome of TBI and prevent the long-term, devastating effects of CTE," said Dr. Gandy.

Tony DiLeo told the media Friday that the Sixers have a Plan A — "and I think everybody knows what 'A' stands for."
That would be Andrew, as in Bynum.
Yes, the Sixers are still waiting for an injured center who is probably still at least two weeks away from making his debut with the team, though he did participate in some scrimmaging Friday at practice.
Unless they start winning some games, they might be out of playoff contention when (if?) Bynum suits up as a Sixer.
Re-signing Bynum is also part of the Sixers' Plan A, which serves to illustrate how desperate they are for a big man.
DiLeo, the Sixers GM, talked about having options this summer, too. By subtracting the contracts of Nick Young ($6 million), Dorell Wright ($4.1 million), Bynum ($16.5 million) and minimum-salary guys Royal Ivey and Damien Wilkins ($1.2 million apiece), the Sixers could get roughly $15 million below the salary cap in July.
Using that money on another team's free agent or by making an uneven trade is likely the team's Plan B.
While there's a possibility Bynum may not want to re-sign here, the CBA permits the Sixers to pay him more money ($100 million) and give him one more year (five) than any other team.
DiLeo's words give the impression that, all things being equal, the Sixers would like to bring Bynum back.
"It's hard in the NBA," DiLeo said. "There are maybe a handful of players that can move the needle. Andrew's one of those players. He can make a big difference on a team."
Translation: With so few quality centers in the league, we're going to give this guy every opportunity to make it work in Philadelphia.
It's called trying to salvage something from a trade that looked much better when it happened on Aug. 10.
DiLeo also said the Sixers' medical people would have a say in Bynum's future here. The big question could be how much damage there is to his cartilage, since the bone bruises shouldn't become longterm issues.
Asked about re-signing with the Sixers on Tuesday, Bynum said, "I'm here now. I don't have any problem with the Sixers and they treated me great this entire time. There's no bad feelings either way."
That's not exactly a ringing endorsement.
If Bynum never plays for the Sixers, their decision should be easy. Re-signing him would be an incredibly tough sell to an already-unhappy fan base, as well as an unwise leap of faith.
If he plays and doesn't want to stay a Sixer, they could just let him leave and sign with somebody else, then use the free agent money on a big man. The problem is Dwight Howard's not coming here, and the Jazz's Al Jefferson, while a scorer and good defensive rebounder, isn't much of a shot-blocker or interior defender.
The pickings are pretty slim.
The other option would be sending Bynum to another team in a sign-and-trade deal, which would enable them to get a player or players back and Bynum to get his max money.
Exchanging Bynum for Howard would be great — and Bynum would undoubtedly love returning to the Lakers — but, again, why would Howard want to be a Sixer?

SWASTHYA: Health
Affordable and reliable healthcare is often in short supply in both urban and rural India. Although private healthcare facilities have a growing presence in urban centres like Pune; those which provide quality services are priced beyond the reach of the poorest sections of society.
The Swasthya Initiative includes our programmes that fall under the banner of healthcare. We strive to improve access to healthcare in two ways: First, by allowing underprivileged families to overcome the financial barriers of accessing healthcare. The second is by supporting NGOs and trusts that reach out to the poor by offering health services at affordable rates.
A key facet of the Swasthya Initiative is to work with patients and their families to create awareness about the causes of diseases and encourage healthy behaviours to prevent further illness. Similarly, we work with medical and support staff to enhance care delivery. These activities are conducted taking into account the resource constraints of poor households and the subsidised healthcare facilities.
Partnership with Sasson Hosipital, Pune:
Read More...
The Bansuri Foundation has funded the infrastructure for the paediatric malnutrition ward at the hospital. The vast majority of children admitted to the ward are from impoverished rural regions. Our future plans are to work with the medical staff involved in running the unit and to engage with the families of admitted children to increase awareness about child nutrition and good practices in a resource poor context.
Partnership with the Sri Anandpur Trust Charitable Diagnostic Centre, Pune:
Read More...
The trust was founded in 1954, in Ashoknagar, Madhya Pradesh. Its centre in Pune provides high quality diagnostic and treatment services to thousands of needy patients irrespective of their caste, creed or religion.
Our association with the centre is not limited to financial assistance. The centre is run by a compassionate and dedicated team of medical practitioners and volunteers who often work under challenging circumstances. Programmes that focus on building the satisfaction and efficiency of staff of under resourced health care providers are almost non-existent. The Bansuri Foundation has initiated a programme with the staff at the centre to facilitate better team spirit, stress management and more humane care of patients.

Rockets come up big at Olympics
It was already known that the Kelowna Rockets would be well represented at the 2014 Sochi games, but no one knew exactly what to expect from each player as they donned their country's jersey to play against the world's elite.
The trio of Shea Weber, Duncan Keith and Jamie Benn came up huge for Canada, leading them to the gold medal.
Weber (6 points) and Keith (+6) both won their second gold medal in a row, while Benn chipped in two game winning goals, including his terrific tip-in against the US, to secure his first Olympic medal.
Alex Edler, who had 61 points in 74 career games with the Rockets, earned a silver medal for Team Sweden.
Former Rockets Lauris Darzins was a star member of a hard-working Latvian club that gave Team Canada a tough quarter-final game. Darzins had the lone goal for Latvia and led the team in goals (4) in the tournament.
Austrian player Tomas Raffl, who played 12 games with the Rockets in 05-06, also had a good Olympics with three points in four games.

What do you snack on?

Posted 16 January 2013 - 09:51 PM
Just wondering what you snack on during the day between meals? Besides fruit and veggies.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 09:56 PM
A handful of almonds, cashews and pistachio nuts. I buy the natural unsalted ones. I find these great to snack on between meals
Posted 16 January 2013 - 09:57 PM
Babybel light cheese and vita wheat crackers (the ones like rice crackers)
Posted 16 January 2013 - 09:58 PM
A dozen almonds, a small handful of goji berries or some prunes.
Or I'll drink a low fat protein shake/smoothie (ie almond milk, banana, protein powder) to fill me up if I'm really hungry.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 09:58 PM
Nuts. I find a cup of tea can get me through, or a bottle of diet ginger beer (rare).
Posted 16 January 2013 - 11:00 PM
Our household has recently discovered cottage cheese and Vita Weats / crackers. I'd never been game to try it before, as it looks so yuck, but it is actually quite nice! DH's personal trainer recommended it.
DH (and occasionally I) have Vita Brits and low fat milk too, if we need a little something extra.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 08:40 AM
I make a point not to snack. If I do it's a quick way to go over my calorie allowance. I prefer to just have a bigger, healthier lunch/dinner.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 05:19 PM
I really like carrot/celery with salsa.
#9 Guest_Dinah_Harris_*
Posted 17 January 2013 - 05:25 PM
Almonds and macadamia nuts, unsalted and unroasted.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 05:57 PM
Raw almonds, water crackers, veg sticks and hummus. If I am having a light lunch and dinner I have a slice of toast and honey (no butter) about threeish; it's only 100cal.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 06:00 PM
We are suckers for a bit of dip with rice crackers as a pre dinner snack...
During the day I tend to not really snack. If I do, it is popcorn, toast or fruit....
Posted 17 January 2013 - 06:15 PM
I rarely snack in the day but if I do it's cheese and crackers, mini size chocolate bar or two or a treat like fresh fruit juice or chocolate cake from my local cafe.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 06:20 PM
Just fruit and veg! I know "high protein" is popular but I don't follow that way of eating so specifically avoid nuts in particular.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:12 PM
I'm a terrible snacker so have to be careful. At the moment my go to snacks are:
Fruit & nut protein balls
cheese or nut butter and crackers
fruit (and if I've had a fairly light breakfast or lunch some yoghurt and/or muesli)
a small (like about 10) handful of raw nuts and/or some dried fruit
Posted 18 January 2013 - 07:08 AM
I have one apple a day and all other snacks are protein - shaved turkey or ham, chicken, a handful of roasted chic peas, small tin of flavoured tuna or meatballs.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 07:23 AM
Green smoothie. Delish.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 08:09 AM
I try not to snack, but I'll usually take some almonds to work. I find that having the 'back up' of snacks in fine, it's when I don't have them on hand that I get hungry!!
Otherwise I just drink green and peppermint tea.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 09:41 AM
Can I grab a recipe for a green smoothie?
Posted 18 January 2013 - 10:11 AM
Junk at the moment, but usually fruit, nuts, tins of tuna, shaved meat, crackers. It really varies.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 10:14 AM
I just ate 3 corn thins plain by themselves as it's all I had in my drawer at work! LOL!
Posted 18 January 2013 - 10:17 AM
I'd like to know the recipe for the green smoothie too
At the moment I have a large breakfast (rolled oats, sultanas, almonds and soy milk), so don't need a snack mid morning like I used to.
Mid afternoon I will have fruit, and if I am really hungry some cashew nuts

I love it when an artist finds a creative way to take something that has become worn or broken and make it like new, but better. Easter has become one of those worn out things in my life, despite my growing faith in God. While I can tell you all about the religious significance of Easter, for me personally, it has signified brokenness. Broken dreams, broken promises, and a broken family.
Twenty years ago. During some frantic holiday preparations, and argument erupted between my parents. It was one of those epic arguments that only ended when infidelity was confirmed and a separation planned. The marriage had been weakening for years as they each chased after their own definition of the American Dream, so why shouldn't the "dream" end like most? Because we were that "religious" family everyone had in their neighborhood. We even had a pillar at the front of the driveway reading: The Clarke Family, "See Ye the Kingdom of God." And the holiday they were preparing to host was Easter Sunrise Service…in my front yeard. Thankfully, the service rained out that morning but I would have been a no-show either way. If my family was the best that God could do for me, I decided to pass.
Insert and fast forward past 10 years of cliché'debauchery, where I tried to run from the Truth that my parents talked better than they walked. Years of putting hope in other things and other people, and being disappointed when reality didn't measure up. My last ten years have been a crawl, walk, and recently a sprint back to my perfect Father. He and I have gotten to be quite close as I've been asking Him…OK, begging him…to let me be a father and to give my wife and I a family. After we answered his call to adopt, wewatched our projected six month wait turn to twenty-six and counting. I struggled with how a "Perfect Father" could hold out on me.
But He, being the ultimate Dad, had something better than we could ever imagine. He took this time to grow our relationship with Him (and each other). He blessed us with friends with the same heart for Him and His heart for orphans. Friendships so tight that late night prayer or praise conferences are a common occurrence. Most importantly, He took this time to demonstrate that He is more that we could ever want.
A couple of weeks ago, the circumstances of our adoption journey led us for the first time to pray for peace in the reality that maybe kids weren't in the plan and for the strength and joy that comes from knowing that He is more than enough.
The next week we received an from our orphanage in Uganda, asking us to come meet our kids (that "s" ain't a typo). With less than three weeks of notice, preparations have been a bit frantic. Since our travel dates were picked by the orphanage and the flights by their travel agent, you can understand why it took me a while to realize the significance of tickets reading, Arrival: 0700, 4APR10.
Our dreams and His promise will come true in the Easter sunrise service of a lifetime.
He makes all things new.
Happy Easter, Monkees. Kiss your babies for us, Mike and Megan.

When you need a payday loan but don't have access to personal checks, a debit card payday loan is a safe alternative that provides cash in minutes. Your debit card remains in your possession and you'll leave with cash that day, an option not offered by most payday lenders. Speedy Cash®/Rapid Cash® offers Swipe & Go(SM) debit card payday loans to simplify the loan process. We'll simply "swipe" your debit card and lend you the cash you need until your next payday. Swipe & Go debit card loans provide a quick and reliable payday solution.
Debit card payday loans are short-term loans. If you are familiar with how a payday loan works, then simply replace the blank check with the swipe of a debit card. By borrowing a small sum of cash, borrowers are able to keep up with their financial responsibilities while waiting for their next paycheck.
The Swipe & Go loan process is fast, easy and secure. To apply in any of our convenient Speedy Cash locations all you need is your Visa® or MasterCard® debit card, steady source of income and a working number. Our customer service advocates will walk you through the application process, inform you about the repayment process, and assist you with any other financial needs such as check cashing or an opt+® Visa® Prepaid Debit Card.
To process a Swipe & Go loan we will swipe your debit card and hold the card information in our system until your loan due date; we do not charge any fees to your card. This gives you the option of automatic repayment when your loan comes due. If you choose to do so, your payment will be debited directly from your card. The repayment date will be set up at the time the loan is processed and varies according to your pay cycle. If you do not want your payment to be debited from your card, simply stop in prior to your due date and pay your loan in cash.
Have additional questions about Swipe & Go debit card payday loans? No problem! Contact us or visit one of our convenient store locations today.


text: Yes, though not so many focusing on the relationship between teacher and student and how to relate to your teacher what is the best way for you to learn. Not to offend anybody, but even I sometimes get stuck on what direction I want my students to take instead of what direction they want to go in. I have put alot of thought into this upon realizing my own faults in teaching people and I have found that by discussing with them and letting them know that I will try to teach them according to their own particular style I have learn as much from them as I have taught them if not more. I simply wish to share what I have found and perhaps discover new and better ways to teach people. In my opinion there cannot be enough manuals out there becuase everybody learns differently and if we keep to the idea that someone else has already done this we limit ourselves and deny ourselves the wonders of discovery. I intend this not to be a finite definition but an alternative to the normal style so that we can all progress beyond what we already know.

Found this bundle and thought it sounded like a great deal. My husband ordered it for me as my Christmas present. It arrived and he was just as excited as I was! We opened it together, checking out all the stuff. Noticed right off there was NO USB adapter as stated on the web description and the Cricut did NOT contain the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge that the manual states should be in the box. I was delighted with the rest of what came but wanted the parts that were missing. I contacted a customer rep via chat, told her my problem and she put in a request to the warehouse who said they wouldn't be able to fulfill the request - the reason: they weren't part of the bundle. I sent a copy of the list in the users manual showing the cartridge came with the cricut and their website showing it listed the USB adapter as part of the bonus set. They refused to replace either. The customer rep I worked with was VERY nice and did apologize. She gave me a 1 year Club O membership and a discount in Club O dollars which was nice but that doesn't replace parts were supposed to be there. The warehouse also stated that "the website is outdated and they are working in fixing it" I see now it's no longer part of the listing however, as a business you should honor something advertised regardless if it's no longer part of it, it was when I ordered the product. I would recommend this bundle (the price has gone up) but would also let others I told to be prepared to not be helped if need be.
I love my cricut expression & cuddlebug !!!! I have been waiting for this mechine for a while and when I saw it on overstock.com so i order it. I have been using my Cricut Expression for everything...NO MORE STICKER... and my cuddlebug I should of gotten that mechine a while ago. I can't amazing not having them...
I bought the Expression and Cuddlebug bundle; it was a smokin' deal! I have the smaller Cricut machine and it suited my purpose but it started wearing out .When I saw this deal it could not resist buying it. I have had my new Expression and Cuddlebug for about one week and have enjoyed exploring the advanced uses of the Expression and all the cool folders that came with the Cuddlebug. I decorated my craft room with vinyl letters I cut out with my Expression and it cut great! (First time cutting vinyl.). I don't shop online very often but I must say, Overstock.com is the place to shop! Thank You! Thank You! I am VERY HAPPY!!!!!
Excellent price for such quality materials. You will never be able to find so many items for such a low price!
I purchased the cricut expression to replace the cricut create that my daughter bought for me.. (the cricut create didn't last at all) anyway.. I didn't want to spend a ton of money because I didn't know if I would use it that often.. (because of the Create).. I got the Expression.. which is easy to use.. the Cuttlebug and the accessories for what my daughter paid for the Create.. I think it's a great deal!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE the products, having so much fun with them, Ive been wanting one for yrs, and with this deal, theres NO WAY I could say NO. and it was shipped so fast! I love Overstock and after this, i will be shopping more with you guys! thanks, from VA

Bill Cosby might be sitting in his living room right now. I don't know. Sometimes I forget that Bill Cosby exists. He is a person. He is doing something all the time even though I have no part of it. Most of the time I am not thinking about Bill Cosby. The other day while I was riding my bike, Bill Cosby was doing something. He was doing something because he exists. People who exist do things. I am going to try to think about Bill Cosby once a month from now on.

how to reapply specific updates after rollback to a restore point?
In response to a system update, I selected all updates, both recommended and optional, and let them be installed.
After rebooting, the screen came back in 800 x 600. It occurred to me that the brilliant system update did not make the best recommendation, and it had probably written over my display driver.
After looking around for advice, I wanted to roll back just the display driver, but in the driver properties this option was not available. So I rolled back the system to the last restore point prior to the update.
Voila, my screen came back to native resolution and my machine works again.
However, now there are 55 important updates, several of them security related, which show up in the update history, but which are probably not actually applied now.
When I run the system update, it only comes with 1 new update. In the update history log, it shows the updates which have been rolled back, with the date on which they were originally applied. So I think that the log is probably wrong.
How to reapply them?
I thought the logical thing would be to right-click on each update in the log and select reapply - but that does not exist!
Any geniuses out there who can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Simply go to Windows Update and install whatever is offered.
The History is just that - a log of what happened. The important listing is the Installed Updates one.
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2012
Thank you for your reply.
That is just the problem.
When I do that Windows only offers 1 update.
But I rolled back 55 important ones and a few suggested ones.
So I don't think that it has reapplied those 55+ without asking me, and hence I am concerned that my system is not up to date.
What do you mean by the "Installed Updates one"?
|My System Specs
|21 Sep 2012
In Programs & Features - in the left pane, click on 'Installed Updates'
If you want to check on updates, use Belarc Advisor - it checks that all security updates are installed, and listes them - www.belarc.com
|My System Specs
|25 Sep 2012
Selecting "Installed Updates" in Programs & Features gives exactly the same list as the "System Update History" that I previously referred to. Thanks for your suggestion of Belarc.
Any other suggestions out there on how to reapply an update, or mark in Windows 7 that an update has not been applied?

The archaeological history at Pismo Beach starts at least 9,000 years ago with the Chumash Indians, who referred to the area as a place to find "pismu," or tar. European settlement in this area dates back to 1769, when Don Gaspar de Portola and parties camped in the area. According to the diary of Costanso, a member of the Portola party, "The party continued over the sand dunes and then descended to the beach, along which they walked for several miles before camping for the night. Near their camping place was an Indian village of some forty people."
Undoubtedly, the beach walked upon by the Portola party was that known today as Pismo Beach. We invite you to take a look at some of our rich history.

"God, body and mind, food for the soul
When you feeding on hate, you empty, my n!*$a, it shows." — Rick Ross
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." — George Bernard Shaw
Lately, it has become in vogue to write articles, comments and tweets about everything that's wrong with young technology companies. Hardly a day goes by where I don't find something in my Twitter feed crowing about how a startup that has hit a bump in the road is "fu&%@d," or what an "as*h%le" a successful founder is, or what an utterly idiotic idea somebody's company is.
It seems like there is a movement to replace today's startup culture of hope and curiosity with one of smug superiority.
Why does this matter? Why should we care that the tone is tilting in the wrong direction? Why is it more important to find out what's right about somebody's company than what's wrong?
The word technology means "a better way of doing things." This is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. Making a better way of storing information, a better currency, or a better way of making friends means improving on thousands of years of human experience and is therefore extraordinarily difficult.
At some level, it would seem logically impossible that anybody could ever improve anything. I mean, if nobody from Bible days until 2014 has thought of it, what makes you think you are so smart? From a psychological standpoint, in order to achieve a great breakthrough, you must be able to suspend disbelief indefinitely. The technology startup world is where brilliant people come to imagine the impossible.
As a venture capitalist, people often ask me why big companies have trouble innovating while small companies seem to be able to do it so easily. My answer is generally unexpected. Big companies have plenty of great ideas, but they do not innovate because they need a whole hierarchy of people to agree that a new idea is good in order to pursue it. If one smart person figures out something wrong with an idea — often to show off or to consolidate power — that's usually enough to kill it.
This leads to a Can't-Do Culture.
The trouble with innovation is that truly innovative ideas often look like bad ideas at the time. That's why they are innovative — until now, nobody ever figured out that they were good ideas. Creative big companies like Amazon and Google tend to be run by their innovators. Larry Page will unilaterally fund a good idea that looks like a bad idea and dismiss the reasons why it can't be done.
In this way, he creates a Can-Do Culture.
Some people would like to turn the technology startup world into one great big company with a degenerative Can't-Do Culture. This post attempts to answer that challenge and reverse that tragic trend.
Dismissive rhetoric with respect to technology is hardly new. Sometimes the criticism is valid, in that the company or invention does not work, but even then it often misses the larger point. Here are two historical examples to help illustrate:
The Computer
In 1837, Charles Babbage set out to build something he called The Analytical Engine — the world's first general-purpose computer, that could be described in modern times as Turing-complete. In other words, given enough resources the machine that Babbage was building could compute anything that the most powerful computer in the world today can compute. The computation might be slower and the computer might take up more space (okay, amazingly slow and incredibly huge), but his design matched today's computational power.
Babbage did not succeed in building a working version as it was an amazingly ambitious task to build a computer in 1837 made out of wood and powered by steam. Ultimately, in 1842 English mathematician and astronomer George Biddel Airy advised the British Treasury that the Analytical Engine was "useless," and that Babbage's project should be abandoned. The government axed the project shortly after. It took the world until 1941 to catch up with Babbage's original idea, after it was killed by skeptics and forgotten by all.
Some 171 years later, it's easy to see that his vision was true, and that computers would not be useless. The most important thing about Babbage's life was not that his timing was off by 100 years, but that he had a great vision and the determination to pursue it. He remains a wonderful inspiration to many of us to this day. Meanwhile, George Biddel Airy seems more like a short-sighted crank.
The Telephone
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, offered to sell his invention and patents to Western Union, the leading telegraph provider, for $100,000. Western Union refused, based on a report from their internal committee. Here are some of the excerpts of that report:
The Telephone purports to transmit the speaking voice over telegraph wires. We found that the voice is very weak and indistinct, and grows even weaker when long wires are used between the transmitter and receiver. Technically, we do not see that this device will be ever capable of sending recognizable speech over a distance of several miles.
Messer Hubbard and Bell want to install one of their "telephone devices" in every city. The idea is idiotic on the face of it. Furthermore, why would any person want to use this ungainly and impractical device when he can send a messenger to the telegraph office and have a clear written message sent to any large city in the United States?
The electricians of our company have developed all the significant improvements in the telegraph art to date, and we see no reason why a group of outsiders, with extravagant and impractical ideas, should be entertained, when they have not the slightest idea of the true problems involved. Mr. G.G. Hubbard's fanciful predictions, while they sound rosy, are based on wild-eyed imagination and lack of understanding of the technical and economic facts of the situation, and a posture of ignoring the obvious limitations of his device, which is hardly more than a toy …
In view of these facts, we feel that Mr. G.G. Hubbard's request for $100,000 of the sale of this patent is utterly unreasonable, since this device is inherently of no use to us. We do not recommend its purchase.
The Internet
Today, most of us accept that the Internet is important, but this is a recent phenomenon. As late as 1995, astronomer Clifford Stoll wrote an article for Newsweek, entitled "Why the Web Won't Be Nirvana," which includes this unfortunate analysis:
Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping — just point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obsolete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet — which there isn't — the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: Salespeople.
What mistake did all these very smart men make in common? They focused on what the technology could not do at the time rather than what it could do and might be able to do in the future. This is the most common mistake that naysayers make.
Who does the Can't-Do Culture hurt the most? Ironically, it hurts the haters. The people who focus on what's wrong with an idea or a company will be the ones too fearful to try something that other people find stupid. They will be too jealous to learn from the great innovators. They will be too pigheaded to discover the brilliant young engineer who changes the world before she does. They will be too cynical to inspire anybody to do anything great. They will be the ones who history ridicules.
Don't hate, create.

@bhorowitz Great article! Also, your VC firm ranks as top 5 among my entrepreneur friends.
Great article. The main reason larger companies are often slower to innovate is that have far more to gain by continuing to focus on what they are already doing and much more to lose in speculating on the next new thing. Clayton Christensen says hello. :)
Few would deride the concept that innovation is desirable or that we should celebrate the innovators. Who Ben describes as "haters", though, are more often than not people who are calling out boorish and bad behaviors that infamously characterize some high profile innovators. Additionally, there is always social tension that arises from the privileges of innovation-driven wealth that commentators have identified since the time of Plato.
So easy to label critics as haters rather than as commentators.
Thanks Ben!
This is a great read to start off a brand new year. Hopefuls unite with other hopefuls to make it happen. Happy 2014!
Great perspective Ben - especially this comment: "Big companies have plenty of great ideas, but they do not innovate because they need a whole hierarchy of people to agree that a new idea is good in order to pursue it. If one smart person figures out something wrong with an idea — often to show off or to consolidate power — that's usually enough to kill it."
I shared similar thoughts on challenges around big company innovation - based on first hand experience - last summer: http://bit.ly/1gxy91H
The best article I've read in 2014! Being a cynic is one of the easiest aspects of investing. Balancing risk, realism, an optimism is the hardest and most important. Thanks Ben!
Critical observation is a healthy and perhaps necessary thing for a successful ecosystem -- in much the same way that criticism is necessary for good government.
No one likes a perpetual negative Nancy. But so long as there are those who write skeptically of the tech world to counter the perpetual, rah-rah types, we all benefit.
I don't see how a diversity of voices and opinions is a bad thing -- unless, of course, one is a VC with a meaningful financial interest in garnering only positive press.
An otherwise great article that is diminished by the use of the word n!*$a. That word has such historical venom that I'm horribly surprised that Andreessen Horowitz would use such a word even in a quote.
While I don't agree with the definition of "technology" the article is really really great. Thanks for that!
Technology is not "a better way of doing things" but technology is just "a way of doing things".
Great article.
A lot of people's attitude is: if I can't imagine how X would be possible (if I can't explicitly imagine how the difficulties I see can be overcome) then this means it is impossible.
But of course you can rarely just imagine, off the top of your head, how difficulties will be overcome. They have to be laboriously worked through over and extended period of time.
I always was told that the Airy / Babbage thing was actually the fallout from a design dispute over a telescope objective lens. Babbage was just on the wrong side in a totally unrelated battle. Also, the Analytical Engine was limited by the time's metallurgy and machining abilities. Brass was an old metal, but its quality was inconsistent, and precision machining for mass production was maybe 30-50 years in the future. Granted the AE would have been a good way to push the technology.
Bell wasn't the first with a telephone, though he was the first to patent a telephone with variable volume. It was easy to get digital sound using threshold crossing, but harder to send an analog signal.
Also, don't diss Europe. It was two German physicists working in Paris who developed the first transistor like switching device. They even sold a portable radio based on the device. The transistor, however, was easier to manufacture.
To be honest, the big advantage the US used to have was a high level of natural resources and a relatively low population. This kept wages high and spread the wealth in a way that was unheard of in Europe with its aristocrats and 0.1%. This created a market for all sorts of manufactured goods such as mechanical clocks, inexpensive books, heating stoves, water pumps, pocket knives, magic lantern slides, surreys with fringes on top and the like. After three decades of stagnation, US isn't like that anymore. The American ethos lately has been can't do - we can't feed everyone, we can't have higher wages, we can't provide everyone with medical care, we can't improve our road system and so on. Let's hope we see more of the old can do attitude.
Great article, it takes exactly the point of innovation in enterprises; btw, Bell was not the inventor of the telephone, as it has been finally provd http://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/jun/17/humanities.internationaleducationnews "Bell did not invent telephone, US rules"
I think you're mischaracterizing some of the "can't-do" characters in your stories. Someone telling you your idea has no merit what so ever is one thing. Someone telling you your idea won't make money is completely different. Someone telling you your idea isn't technologically feasible at this moment is also something completely different. The last two are examples of pragmatism, not "can't do."
Babbage's computer was too far ahead of its time, technology needed to catch up with the idea. Would it have made sense for the British government to continue to pour money into the project until 1947 when the invention of the transistor made building a computer a feasible exercise? Uh, no.
Anyone who relies on Newsweek for a critical dissection of a technical trend is a moron. Who cares what Newsweek thinks? If your startup is challenging a societal norm, and the mainstream press agrees with your approach, then you're not as disruptive as you think you are and you probably need to go back to the drawing board.
As for the telephone, you got that one right. The committee failed to recognize the importance of receiving a private message in a personal way... and eventually they paid for their hubris and went out of business.
Don't take the criticism personally. Listen to it. In all of that negativity being thrown at you, there are also some good ideas. Good ideas that are critical of your approach, not your premise.
When every other start-up is founded by college drop outs who have no clue about the giants and visionaries that came before then then it doesn't matter how much can-do attitude you have. All you're gonna do is create another SnapChat. Where exactly is the "innovation" and "can-do attitude" in SnapChat?
So I hate not because there isn't enough can-do attitude and optimism but because that attitude and optimism is borne out of ignorance. Comparing the current crop of technology start-ups to the accomplishment of people like Tim Berners-Lee, Alexander Bell, Charles Babbage, and friends is giving the current crop of "technologists" too much credit and they don't deserve any of it.
Learn about the true giants and visionaries and then you might be able to dream big because you will be both humbled and exalted. A 20-something college drop-out is not something to be worshipped and venerated no matter how much "can-do attitude" they have because all of it is borne out of ignorance.
I guess it all depends on how you look at the things.... I mean from which angle.... every angle as its own defending explanation to say why the way you are looking at it and what you see is right. Just like customs and laws vary country to country same action may right in some place which is crime in other place.
It's a great article to understand how the things works and what road blocks you expect to hit if you are thinking speeds that are higher than allowed limit.
For example: Big Companies strategy is like running everything on F1 track @ F1 speeds and startups are like going at the same speeds on i-ways…..we can't judge who is right and who is wrong…as both have their own pros and cons (there is no statistical data added which show rate of success in Big companies and startups just picked some examples to give moral support to dare your dreams – please do not look at the story behind that)
But the only thing you need to consider is which one is good for now and for future of the planet for good living in spite of just applying ideas to make the virtual (dead wealth digital #'s in banks- Currency) wealth by exploiting the resources of future just to get feel of Conquer the World after which becomes no value when resource exhaust. – Unfortunately you will not be business man if you think like this- You will be named under social activist in the history for the references like author took.
It all depends on the how you want to rule and the risk you take… there is no investor who goes mad until unless he is convinced (which needs the good skills of narration and presentation to tell the story that your idea showers the $$$)– this is what it makes the deal or no-deal – it's that simple.
The Moral of the story is being smart and picking right chunks in right time is what Matters.
It may look wired analysis but if you just map it right way you get your answer.
Great article Ben. I try to get my team to think about "Yes before No." Instead of quickly explaining why something will not work come at the problem from the other side. Think through how it may work? Live in the land of possibility! "Yes before No" (Credit to Dan Gilbert for his Yes before No ism)
I think people are reading a bit too much into the article and the examples Ben picked; in my mind, it's all about having a default attitude of curiosity and might-be-possible rather than immediately jumping to the conclusion that ideas are stupid or impossible simply because they can't or haven't been done today.
Of course not every idea will be great; of course there will be failures leading up to any success; that's not the point. The point is your attitude to true innovation.
Great article.
But I think its misleading to use history to prove the "Can do" attitude. I am no historian or I don't have all the facts but I would imagine people rejecting certain ideas for e.g. computer, telephone, was probably because of economic unfeasibility at that time. Building a computer that can be used by everyone or a phone line that can spawn states with crystal clear voice weren't possible due to technical limitations in that era.
Its easier to derive that conclusion now than making a decision then. As a investor, your concern is all about scalability and it was no different then.
For e.g. If you have an idea and you come to me today for an investment that relies on genetical engineering and will cost consumers around millions of dollars, would I invest or would I wait till the technology in that area picks up.
Unless I am a foreword thinking billionaire like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, perhaps. But I would imagine most investors will shy away from it.
Also, I do agree that having positive attitudes towards ideas are critical but it all depends on the talent pool you're working with. You possibly cannot entertain ideas from everyone with varying levels of intelligence.
What you can do instead is create an environment that is conducive to try new ideas and give a vehicle to prove it. For e.g. github allows individuals to pick their own ideas to work on that directly/indirectly translates to a better customer experience.
But it all starts with your hiring policies. Period! You have to hire the best and thats what Google, Amazon, Github do to an extent.
Looks like it might be a good idea to get hold of all those ideas which were probably ahead of its time or dumped into the drain.
You are overlooking some really obvious and really insightful bits that are put on full display by the historical references you make. The big one is that the analytical machine wasn't the great invention. It was in fact mostly pointless. What makes computing devices great are how we use them, and that road was paved by software designers and creative thinkers, not those who built the specifications for the hardware.
With the telephone, the great advance in technology wasn't actually this ability to transform audio into a deliverable signal, but the advance in transmission tech that allowed it to go further. It's easy to look back at things and poo poo at what opportunities were missed, but it's never that simple, and it's a bit of revisionist history to pretend that the concepts for a Turing machine lead to an iPhone (which btw would be a brick without apps and software).
Finally, drudging up the opinion an astronomer had about business doesn't seem particularly relevant, and you'll notice that in all your examples, eventually technology found a way. Wood and steam were never going to power the modern PC, and sometimes the rest of the worlds technology just isn't in place. That's not the 'haters' fault.
List examples of great technology that never happened and hurt the world because of haters? hmm? Can't find any?
BTW this is attempt number 15 to actually post a comment due to your site's requirement of loading scripts from 26 (not an exagerration) domains
Great article. I'm reminded of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's discussion of entrepreneurs in his book, Anti-Fragile. He describes how individual entrepreneurs are fragile - many will fail, some will survive and others will become dominant - which benefits entire body of the economy by making it more robust overall, while those who have failed bear a large personal cost. He suggests that we as a society must encourage entrepreneurship by finding a way to provide softer landings for failed entrepreneurs who take the risk and are prepared to accept the consequences of failure. We want to let a thousand flowers bloom, because we don't know which ones will thrive and which will wither. And with the ones that wither, whether their learnings will allow them to thrive in their next incarnation. Despite all of the negativity in the tech media, I sense that we as a US society are taking steps to soften the landing of entrepreneurs who have failed, with so many incubators springing up around the US and a softening stance toward people who have taken the entrepreneurial plunge if they decide to return to larger, more established companies. Overall, I sense that the sentiment toward entrepreneurship in the US is much more positive (and gaining momentum) than what one may garner from reading internet writers whose main goal is to drive CPM with sensationalist headlines.
It's a nice sentiment and I get it but innovation can come from a variety of places. The Internet itself came from a culture of fear about war from the Russians and if you absolutely hate how Company X is doing something, that can lead to you creating Company Y to do it better - let's not pretend that someone like Steve Jobs had a fair bit of hate for his competitors too.
There does seem to be a lot of negativity out there that's amplified by social media but there's room for legitimate criticism, especially when it's from your users/customers.
Great piece. The problem with innovation'a history is that it keeps repeating itself. Why? .05 percent know and project and. 99.05 percent nod and predict.
Cherrypicking. A great majority of startups fail and their ideas are proven as unworkable or impractical, so it is not unreasonable to summarily dismiss most of them.
What a good investor recognizes and bets on isn't the idea itself but the entrepreneur. Even then they recognize that most startups will fail, but if the investment is small enough and the possible payoff is large enough and one invests in many projects, the investor will win out in the end along with the best entrepreneurs, no matter how crazy and impractical the idea originally was.
Really interesting article which can be illustrated in a lot of Companies !
On the other hand, in USA which is the Pionner's Country, it's easier to create new (clever) business faster and easier than in the Old Continent (eg. France) where administrative and hierarical are so heavy !
Would love to see a post on how you define "great" in this context, Ben.
"From a psychological standpoint, in order to achieve a great breakthrough, you must be able to suspend disbelief indefinitely. The technology startup world is where brilliant people come to imagine the impossible."
This is a good mantra to start the year with.
Kara & Walt, best of luck with the new venture & happy new year!
That Western Union excerpt is incredible
I always love comments by these scoffers (like 'that startup is "fu&%@d,"'). They help identify the people to ignore. Starting a business is hard enough, and when someone self-identifies as a shoot-from-the-hip scoffer it points out to me that THEY won't be someone who will come from left field and plane my business plan. That person is hard to find!
Note: one fuckwit comment means nothing -- I probably don't really know the context, and anyway we've all made stupid comments at one time or another. But spewing a regular ration of blowhard commentary is like walking around ringing a leper bell. It's a service to the community.
The Cliff Stoll and Western Union cases are more dangerous because as you say we can all accidentally fall into them. That's the crux of Clayton Christensen first book, the Innovator's Dilemma.
My friend Andy Grignon worked for Steve Jobs and was on a very small team building the original iPhone. Steve told him "sorry, you can not hire anyone who has worked on a phone before."
Why not? For exactly the reasons laid out here. He didn't want his team to find out what they were attempting to do was "impossible." Andy learned that when he went to AT&T to pitch them on what became visual voice mail. Andy and his team thought it was possible. The AT&T folks thought they were nuts. It took lots of work by Steve Jobs to convince AT&T to try.
Agree there is too much naysaying. I think this is because there simply are too many startups now and too much change too quickly for most humans to absorb.
I have been struggling with a new concept called "vertical video" and you are spot on. Apple rejected my video which is 720hx1280v even though iPhones create just that! Then there's VVS (vertical video syndrome) with 4m views and counting. But when people watch my "animated film" they rarely blink. The world is strange indeed. I ended up embedding the video in a portrait oriented eBook!
@WYSIWYG Agreed. Fantastic article that I would love to share on LinkedIn and my company's SalesForce chatter feed, but won't because of this. Still a great read, just wish that one little line wasn't there.
@PatMcQueen I really like the wording "Yes before No"! It doesn't mean that No is never the answer, just that it's not the default.
YES, one of the major Innovation Killing Process, is the ROI First Law !
And after, it's the dividends for the shareholders First Priority System !
It was not so much the case few decades ago !
@Scobleizer Really interesting example. Although I don't know the details about Tesla's design process around the Model S, as a former US auto employee, I find it striking that an automotive startup founded by industry outsiders has built a car that received the highest ever rating for a car by Consumer Reports and perhaps other car publications. It's a bit early to say whether Tesla will have the same impact on the auto industry as Apple has had on the smartphone market, but it's interesting what Tesla could do with substantially fewer financial resources and than the incumbents.
@Scobleizer It seems that some of negative feedback comes when people mistake the call for contribution as a call for approval.
