Can science uncover the origin of everything?
I started thinking about this when I came across this quote by Einstein:
"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure."
And then I found this talk about the boundaries between science and philosophy when it comes to explaining the universe and nothingness:
So what do you think? Can science satisfy our craving for knowledge about our origins? Or would it be too dry? Do we need to hang on to a part of mystery?

Apr 18 2013: For every question science finds an answer for- a 1000 more questions pop up.

Some lectures can be dry but the science its self isn't.
So to answer your question: NO!!!Apr 22 2013: I think that since Science constantly evolves, it might be able to uncover many mysteries of the Universe, maybe even its true nature. But we cannot base our research only on science -we have to base also on philosophy and other ways of explaining the world. Most of them might be creations of the mind but, still, for them to have been thought, they must have some basis. Scientists or non-scientists, we should expand our horizons and open our minds.

Apr 22 2013: actually science is getting closer to being able to know "what" you dream.

Apr 22 2013: now I'm not sure what kind of crap research you've been reading but it's something other than what I've seen.
I also don't see what kind of messed up distinction you seem to imagine there to be between 'brain' and 'mind'.
What I'm saying is that we can understand the physical brain, in a level of (rapidly increasing) degree, which already enables us to link brainwaves to actions in a fairly direct manner.
For instance there are games which you can play with brainwaves (given that we can read the brainwaves usually with some measuring cap).
Also there are really good results on creating artificial limbs which are controlled by the brain of the person who would need it.
Next to that there are numerous other fields which use similar technologies which seem to be doing pretty good.

Apr 18 2013: Science can tell you how, but not why. Why is not part of the scientific method. So yes, science describes Beethoven's symphonies as waves of pressure in the air. I feel like our society is starting to worship science and give it all kinds of attributes and powers it just doesn't have by its nature. Science only deals with what is measurable, and it tries to do so as objectively as possible. It can tell you how the earth was made but not why it was made. That is not measurable.

Apr 17 2013: There are always so many unanswered questions from a scientific standpoint that I don't think you need to fear an end to mysteries. Further, there is no reason to think of scientific inquiry or a scientific lens as dry. To many science is full of the thrill of adventure, the solving of puzzles, and the finding of "treasure" in the form of understanding and new doors.Apr 23 2013: Let's say for arguments sake that you have nothing. What is contained in this situation that will allow you to alter your situation?
- +2
0 + 0 = 0
The way I see it something has to exist to alter any situation. If something cannot come from nothing then something must have always existed.
Apr 23 2013: Would a single star cast a shadow?
Apr 23 2013: Sounds poetic. What are you implying?
Apr 23 2013: i guess i am implying that it would, So when the light travels back to its source how would that single star interpret it own light coming back to it's self?
"Well I would trust that the Dean is educated enough to understand Einstein's point that any ray of light ( a straight line ) send out will eventually return to its origin and therefore he would understand that there are no "straight lines"" ~Ed SchulteApr 23 2013: You are correct metaphysically. Cognition, for example needs differentiation to come into existence. If there is only one being/thing and nothing outside of it, it cannot have cognition.
But physically, something can come from nothing.
Apr 23 2013: Simply stating it as a fact is not proof.
0 + 0 = 0. This is a fact.
Neither Richard Dawkins nor any other person is an authority on where things come from or how they came into being.
Apr 24 2013: Are you referring to Lawrence's talk? If you are, I am surprised. Because to say some one is just stating a fact without proof for over 2 hours and in front of number of people in an audience which does not look like baseball fans to me, one has to assume some serious gullibility going there.
0+0=0 is a mathematical triviality.
I think you did not notice that I am not impressed with authority. I can listen to what a person is saying (Lawrence in this video) and see if it sounds authentic.Apr 24 2013: 0 + 0 = 0 = 5 - 5 = x*0 = (x+y)*0 = x^0 - 1 = ......................
Strange... I can do a lot of things which are facts which disagree with your limited view on math.Apr 24 2013: Welcome Richard K :) I can see what you are doing. You are making a wild guess about views. I think I have seen this before.Apr 24 2013: Which guess do I make?
I just show that John M is wrong in saying that you can't ever "get something" from "nothing". And he is even further off by using math to 'prove' his point.
If you need to "create" something from "nothing" you just end up with the something and its negative creation.
In math you can even do stranger stuff than that if you wish....Apr 21 2013: The answer to your question is No! Science is based on observation and responds to what it observes. Even if it satisfactorily accounts for all observations it nevertheless cannot discount an anomaly, a new inconsistent observation.
Language collects things together under single words. It therefore seems, to me, to be a more pertinent question to ask "What can language achieve?" or perhaps "What are the limits of generalisation?"Apr 19 2013: Science is only one way of understanding ourselves and the universe - and as a stand-alone discipline for that end, it has limits. Those limits are science's self-imposed materialism and a refusal to accept that phenomena occur regularly outside the remit of its own understanding. Our own consciousness being one example: Neurons, synapses and neurochemicals can be analysed and MRI scanned ad nauseam - but the huge gulf of understanding lies in what we experience, relative to what appears in our assemblage of material parts.
There certainly seems to be an unwillingness in science to cross-discipline into philosophy, which is odd, since philosophy is a major food-source for many hypotheses. If science is to progress, it simply has to jettison its intolerance of those things that form imperatives of human existence and experience, which really is where mystery lies - and I for one, would like to continue to contemplate life's mysteries, in the light of science admitting to itself it can go no further.
It sounds like I'm anti-science. I certainly am not! I just think that if science is to get nearer to uncovering the origins of everything, it has to be much more receptive towards other disciplines and experiences that might at first seem to confound its own analysis.Apr 19 2013: G'day Emily
Look how just in the last hundred years how science has evolved in creating new science techniques to rediscovering ourselves all over again, if you look back a hundred years ago most of the world was still getting around on horse back or horse drawn carriages & so on......... Do we need to hold on to part of the mystery? What for because there will always be a mystery to figure out because nothing ever stays the same.
Becky Finn
Apr 18 2013: Life without mystery, one with no questions left to seek the answers too because science had answered them would be without excitement and would not allow new discovery. Loads of things over the years have been discovered /created by accident out of curiosity, exploration and wanting answers. Science is a brilliant thing, but other things such as faith and the meaning of life have more value and substance, and they revolve around us hanging onto the mystery.
- +1
I think that the roots of science is philosophy, and vice versa. Without science, people wouldn't form new questions, but without those questions people wouldn't seek to find meaning or sense of them.
I much prefer being somewhat clueless to the unknown and even if science could uncover more than it is able to do so currently, I would want to know. Naivety is Bliss.
xoxoxApr 18 2013: I kind of feel its impossible. I mean i dont know, i suppose it may depend on your views of religion, the universe, and life itself. But if you believe that the universe is ever changing, mutations and adaptions occur, environments change, evolution takes place, well then i can't see how us or any form of inteligent life can possibly keep up with these changes. I agree with Gale, every question anwsered and problem solved is just a key unlocking a door to a room with 10 more locked doors. However i feel that is why science, knowledge, exploration, growth, learning and advancement is so excitting, there is always a new question to be anwsered, and a new frontier to be crossed. I also think that it is not just "human nature" but inteligent life nature/curiosity. (if such a thing exist) There is always that want and drive to know "everything" and the origins of it all. Of course all of that can be negated if you do believe if a spiritual creator or god, which then in some cases we could learn all there is the learn, and or we will come upon this knowledge after our death on Earth and a movement towards a higher being or place. Personally i have no clue, i really cant say one thing or another is certain, and i am not even sure we will ever definitively anwser your question. Excellent question, and topic.Apr 18 2013: NoApr 24 2013: No. Ultimately it can theorize, but cannot prove an ultimate origin.
Apr 24 2013: How did this close?Apr 24 2013: Here we are:
past ------- now -------- future
If we know the universe is governed by a set of laws....we should then come to the conclusion that everything has some sort of predefined path.
Let's take it back to the beginning.
Many believe that our entire universe is the result of a massive explosion or (BANG). This may not have been an explosion at all. It could have just been a (BIG EXPANSION).
So let's take a look at that. If we know matter is governed by laws...we can then set a table of extremes to choose from.
(Mass 1) ---- meets (Mass 2) and the outcome is defined by {Law}.
(Mass 1 is Molecule 10487)
Molecule 10487 has a set of attributes.
{Atom 1 - Set Variables}
{Atom 2/Connected to Atom 1/ Set Variables}
Since atom 1 and 2 are connected they now call for a new {law} since they no longer act on their own.
{Atoms 1 - 1047492384723} Create mass A(Rock).
{Rock is a general term for this combination/configuration of atoms}
{Rock now has laws that define it}
(Rock - Density - Heat - Size)
The laws only apply when energy is present.
So let's go back to the big bang.
{Initialize expansion}
{Laws Govern Movement}
{Outcomes are defined by laws} - (If ROCK A hits ROCK B - New trajectory/energy for rock A)
(Rock A change mass - (-10%)Apr 24 2013: Pabitra said, "... Are you referring to Lawrence's talk?..."
I think I'm a bit smarther than Lawrenxc Pabitra. In the US, people get up and speak for over 2 hours and accomplish absolutly nothing all the time (see congress).
Math itself is just a discriptive language. Math without reference is just numbers. You may sepereate the reference from the math if you choose but it doesn't affect me in anyway.
I see you are not impressed with authority yet you strive to be an authority..........Apr 24 2013: I'm not sure Casey.... I do have a question..... does a light beam lose energy as it travels through space a great distance?Apr 24 2013: Richard...... Mark Twain said it best:
"In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. Therefore ... in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period the Lower Mississippi River was upward of one million three hundred thousand miles long... seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long... There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact." ~Mark Twain.
Yes richard.... 5-5= 0 but you are supposing you had 5 and -5 to begin with. Try doing that and only having nothing to work with.
Math is a language.... X times 0 means: x multiplied - times = zero. My question is what happened to the X elements you started with.... did zero somehow vaporize them into nothing? You have to have an idea first then seek the math to substantiate it somehow. Playing with numbers is just play.
With this in mind, try to explain to me what your simple equation means. 0 + 0 = 0 = 5 - 5 = x*0 = (x+y)*0 = x^0 - 1 = ; that is, what does it relate to?
My math, describes a situation where you start with nothing, 0 (zero) and you alter it somehow with nothing.... which implies you can't get something [from] nothing.
Apr 24 2013: You don't need anything to split 0 into something other than 0.
Both sides of the = sign are equal (by definition).
So if you want to "get something" (x) from "nothing" (zero) you can do so simply by adding x and - x.
You think that you need to do something to get from 0 to some other state.... but x - x = 0.... the = is not some action you need to do it is already equal.
I can't write it down even more simplistic than this.
Mark Twain was good with words... but perhaps not that great in science... which is why he wrote books rather than equations.
Apr 24 2013: I guess you don't understand the rules of this game we are playing Richard.
1. Nothing can offer nothing, that is, Something can not come from nothing.
2. Something is anything you prefer it to be but it can't be nothing.
3. You may alter something in any fashion you desire.
If you can't get something from nothing (see rule #1) where does something come from?
Please do not quote Mark Twain and use only science to prove your point.
Thank you.
Apr 24 2013: I understand the rules just fine.
0 = x - x
I want to create x from 0... it's no problem... as long as I also create -x.
I don't see what you can possibly not understand from that.Apr 24 2013: Some things exist of themselves.
Math is not created, it is discovered - it is already there. Understanding of math can be built up, starting with next to nothing. There are awesome and beautiful objects in math, such as the Mandelbrot Set, which don't change and have always existed, and they arise from a few simple rules. We can look at these objects, but not fully understand or fully calculate them.
Scientists have learned that much of our physical universe and its dynamics can be described by a few fairly short chunks of math. So perhaps the dynamic universe is like the Mandelbrot Set - a complex eternal object arising from fairly simple rules. So I think this "spirit of the universe and all its possibilities" exists already, just like the Mandelbrot Set, before we can see or discover it. I think this immutable, rich, universal spirit is "God", and the universe comes from and is a part of it.
This spirit transcends the finite, and this might explain how it can be 'alive', although we would not say that simpler math objects are alive.
We don't see the whole universe directly, we are a part of it, at a certain place and time in it.
Several sacred texts describe God as an unchanging, immortal spirit, for example the Bhagavad Gita.Apr 23 2013: It is assumed that science is thought to prove anything and everything, and with enough given time and brain or computational capacity theoretically, it can. But, in our lifetime, or our childrens lifetime, very doubtful.Apr 23 2013: What We Believe but Cannot Prove .Apr 23 2013: the question is loaded. It presupposes a time when there was nothing and attempts to invalidate the idea of infinity. There also seems to be a consensus that religion and science are diametricly opposed or of ultimate import. I submit that they are both human attempts to describe and relate to a Reality far beyond our ability to comprehend. Neither have validity beyond the human experience but it is in this capacity they have their ultimate usefulness. Origins have origins and both religion and science are ill equiped to discuss concepts they cannot describe.
Apr 24 2013: But the answer has always been the same. Why would it matter what path was taken?Apr 23 2013: ''The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know''......spiral...As a rule, information comes partially...spiral...Apr 23 2013: Yes, but I fear, one wont like what one finds, or what's shown to one. Let alone if one has the ability to understand it and all it's implications.Apr 23 2013: I don't think so. Science does not entertain ALL questions. For example Psychology is not considered mainstream science.Apr 23 2013: First of all, I wish that I could put aside more time for this site, TED. I find the people here fascinating and eager to put forward their inner thoughts. In our everyday life, at least in mine, this kind of frankness is difficult.... ok, before I rumble further I shall address this question.
My answer to this is NO. When one implies in the origin of EVERYTHING that would have to mean just that, EVERYTHING with nothing left behind, the likes of, 'where does the universe come from, and beyond that, and beyond that, and so on and so on'.... if we go back, far back in time, we will approach a period where there is no time. Since there is no time, how can science or any other doctrine answer that question??...... yes, yes, I have read other contributions to this question, and, I respect all these views however, I find that some wander way off the topic.... interesting the same. :)
CheersApr 22 2013: Science and Religion have been and will continue to explain existence from 2 different perspectives, one is top down(gods perspective) and bottom up(man's perspective). The interesting thing about perspective is truth is a matter of perspective. And all anyone can do man or god is tell the "story" from their individual perspective. The best part of this is both perspectives have been talking about the same answer since before the beginning of time. Science is self-refuting, Religion is self fulfilling, why does the path matter? Which is ultimately a circle.
What would like to know about the origins of existence?
Out of many, one = The material world
Out of one, many = The big bangApr 22 2013: Science, as currently understood, cannot uncover the origin of everything. It's ken of expertise and instrumentation, measurement and theory, is tone-deaf to the primacy of consciousness in the evolution of the universe. Unitary consciousness is the ultimate source and origin of everything that there is. By looking for consciousness as an epiphenomenon emerging out of neural networks, scientists are looking for it through the wrong end of the cosmoscope. Till they correct this fatal fallacy in their world-view, till they recognize that consciousness is the perennial subject that refuses to be objectified by their theories, the mystery of the ultimate origin will elude their most diligent searches.Apr 22 2013: It's like the battles of man vs computer in that it is base of on a false premise, in that one or the other is the strongest.
In fact when they work together and its man & computer that is the strongest.
So alone both science and philosophy are weaker, than if both science and philosophy would work together.Apr 22 2013: I think science will, and is going to uncover what the history's Victors have neglected to carry on in what we call our collective History, since the Victors write history we only have a one sided view of it, science is our judge and jury in matters relating to origin since humanity and / or organic intelligent life in the 1st place may neatly leave key points out for various reasoning..
Dry is a very relative term, considering people drink Dry gin, yet it's wet? Or a dry suit meant for going in water, to a historian any history is like watching the 4th quarter of a football game, or the last leg of a race for race fans.
Science will tell us through hardwork and dedication ( passion ) that of what we seek, it's up to us to ask the correct questions, so we don't get answers like 42.Apr 22 2013: Hi Emily,
Science can take us a lot farther, but probably not the whole way. It does however have to loosen up a bit. Probably for financial reasons, origins science at least, seems to get bogged down in dogma, rather than following the actual evidence.
The Big Bang scenario has become pretty much compulsory. Hydrogen gas clumps together under gravity to form stars. Really ? This contradicts all tried & tested gas laws. Oh well, maybe a star went supernova close to the gas cloud. No that wouldn't work . Well it must have been two adjacent stars going off together with a cloud between them. Unlikely to work, well perhaps 3 or 4 going off together. Don't ask awkward questions; it just clumps, ok.
When we look at the universe, we understand how it works. It holds together by gravity operating via dark matter, dark energy, & dark flow. This dark stuff makes up 95% of the mass of the universe. Unfortunately we cannot detect it. It is invisible & non material. Ever tried "selling" God; you know the being who is invisible & non-material? Don't be silly, there can be no God; we can't detect him. Dark stuff however is different; it must be there, or we have to admit we have no idea what's going on.
I think origins science has a ways to go yet.
:-)Apr 22 2013: It could very well be that we can understand and explain everything in the universe at some point.
But knowing that won't really make us happy. Experiencing things and knowing/understanding things are 2 completely seperated issues.Apr 22 2013: I hope yes. I strongly hope yes. Why not? If we consider the human discovery tracks, the super-strong pulse for knowing which sometimes pushes us to face danger only for knowing a lillte bit more, I must say, 'Yes'Apr 21 2013: No. There is a domain of questions science can answer which is smaller than every possible question. Other questions may simply not be answerable, or require non science to answer them according to the question itself.
I think science can answer where our universe came from and where we came from. I do not think it is possible to say whether it would be too dry until we know what the explanation is. But the explanation will be what it will be, whether or not we find it too dry.Apr 21 2013: If we assume that we are biological organisms (and not angels or gods), it automatically follows that we must have a nature the same way a cow has a nature. We know that Shakespeare sounds like random noise to cows. In fact they can't distinguish between human language and random sounds by humans. Therefore, it seems obvious that there must be things in the world that are outside of our comprehension. As Kant mentioned, we are bound to space and time and that puts a sharp limit on our understanding. As Einstein showed, there is no real distinction between space and time.
We understand the world with the tools we have. Our science forming capability is one of those tools. Modern science does not seek to explain the nature of the world, it strives to fit theories that can explain some observable phenomena. What is observable is bound to our cognition.
I believe the scientific method is the most reliable tool for understanding the world because it is independent of personal experience (i.e. objective) and it is falsifiable meaning if you propose a false theory, others can pursue a line of reasoning or experimentation to prove you wrong. But science, just like all of our tools for understanding, falls fundamentally short of explaining all things. Some things will remain mysteries but you will not know until you try. Newton spent most of his time on Alchemy because it was a reasonable pursuit back then. Posterity will laugh at us for what they will perceive as wasted effort but you make do with what you have.Apr 20 2013: Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.Apr 19 2013: Eventually. Yes. I believe so.Apr 19 2013: I think the reason the Higgs Boson was nicknamed The God Particle was because it was believed that proof of its existence would make Man like God. I think Stephen Hawking said God would no longer be necessary. The point is that to know Everything would make Man God. That cannot be, so the answer is NO, science may conjure-up a Theory of Everything, but science (Man) cannot uncover the origin (operation, purpose and fate) of Everything. God's ways are not our ways.

Apr 22 2013: Thanks, Chris, for posting this link. I was also aware of this origin of the label in popular culture for the Higgs Boson, but it is a great example of how the public can be misled by the spin some people- journalists and others- like to give to science stories, either for entertainment value, for commercial value, or to promote an ideology..

Scientists in Brazil say they've developed a way to use fibers from the fruits to make strong, lightweight plastics that could be used to form car parts.
"The properties of these plastics are incredible," the leader of the project, Alcides Leão of Sao Paulo State University, said in a press release. "They are light, but very strong 30 per cent lighter and three to four times stronger. We believe that a lot of car parts, including dashboards, bumpers, side panels, will be made of nano-sized fruit fibers in the future. For one thing, they will help reduce the weight of cars and that will improve fuel economy."
The product is almost as strong as Kevlar, used in bulletproof vests, Leão said in presenting his team's work to the 241st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society in Anaheim, California, over the weekend.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Good value, great sound Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 1/3/2013 11:12:00 AM The box says these are "noise-isolation" headphones. Normally, that just means over-the-ear, but in this case, it means more. The PRO 300's have small earcups that form a tight seal over the ear, significantly reducing ambient noises. Yet the headphones fit comfortably without any undue pressure. The PRO 300's delivered nice, naturally balanced sound. The drivers seemd voiced in such a way that they added little additional coloration to the sound. And that can be a good thing. We use the same selections in the Crutchfield Labs for a purpose we know how they're supposed to sound. The tunes played through the PRO 300's were reproduced with accuracy and clarity.

Gaithersburg High School starting pitcher Nick DeCarlo said he felt "lifeless" during the first two innings of Wednesday's game with Prince George's County powerhouse Eleanor Roosevelt at Kelley Park and that his curveball wasn't "effective."
After a brief internal conversion — "I told myself, `I have to pick the intensity up,'" said DeCarlo — the Trojans right-hander rediscovered the feel for his curveball, which he used to set up his blazing fastball, and completely dominated the Raiders en route to an 11-1, five-inning victory.
DeCarlo, in fact, finished the game with six straight strikeouts, including two of the no-look variety, and had 12 strikeouts for the game. His lone blemish came on a couple of mental mistakes made by his defense that led to Roosevelt's run in the first inning.
Trevor Allen doubled to left center field and then scored on a shallow single by Kyle Fletcher. Gaithersburg struggled to get the ball back into the infield on Fletcher's hit to right field, allowing Fletcher to head to second base. The Trojans tried to throw him out there, allowing Allen to score.
DeCarlo (1-0, 2.69 ERA) followed that sequence of events with 12 straight outs, including 10 through strikeouts.
"I was able to throw my curveball for strikes," DeCarlo said. "That allowed me to use my fastball more often. I need my curveball to work for me to be effective."
Roosevelt starter Aaron Hunt pitched well during his four-plus innings of work, but he and reliever Isaiah Lopez were defeated by some costly errors and some timely hitting by the Trojans.
"I think [the pitchers] did enough. We just didn't make routine plays," Raiders coach Andrew Capece said. "I would say probably nine or 10 of their runs were unearned. You can't give a good team extra outs [and] we struck out way too many times. We've just got to put the ball in play."
The Trojans (4-2) struck for two runs in the bottom of the first on a two-run, two-out error at second base that allowed Evan Colon and Trey Martinez to score. They added another one in the fourth on a safety squeeze bunt by J.P. Herbert that followed a double by Dakota Durant and a sacrifice bunt by Scotty Hermann.
Gaithersburg scored eight runs in the fifth inning to end the game prematurely through a combination of six hits and a trio of errors. Martinez closed out the contest with a two-run double to deep left field.
"We had not being swinging the bat well at all," Trojans coach Jeff Rabberman said. "We worked hard in practice. We worked on shortening our swing and choking up with two strikes. If you hit line drives and hit the ball on the ground, you're going to be successful.
"It's a great win. They're a team that could very well win their region and play in the state semifinals. The score is not indicative of the game. We were able to break it open in the fifth."
Gaithersburg 11, Eleanor Roosevelt 1
Eleanor Roosevelt (4-1) 1 0 0 0 0 — 1 3 4
Gaithersburg (4-2) 2 0 0 1 8 — 11 9 1

EDIT: Please also read the comments, especially danzo321 has written really good advices, since I'm not an expert but sharing my experience reading the comments would make your process easier =)
This time I am going to show you how to take an alginate mold of a face (and fill it with plaster)
What you need,
A model ;)
Plaster bandages
Several cups (to mix, pour water etc)
A pillow (you have to make the model comfortable =)))
Small pieces of paper (or you can use straws, I didn't have any so I used paper)
Step 1:
Mix your alginate with water
Now if you have people around you make them help you =) It would be much quicker if someone else also mixed alginate with water in another cup so you guys can pour it together. I had only one extra so I made her take the pictures and did all the mixing myself.
If there isn't someone to help, be patient, don't try to mix huge amounts of alginate cause they are going to dry quick and you probably will waste a lot of alginate.
REMEMBER! If alginate is getting light pink it means you only have a few seconds to pour it on the face. Best to use it while it is dark pink/purple.
When I had my face cast taken years ago, this error was made. Careful photographic comparisons of the positive taken from that mold clearly showed how gravity had altered my face during casting compared to usual upright facial presentation. Also, my cast had a many more eyebrows and a few eyelashes despite heaving mold release coverage. That made removing the plaster casting a balance between pain and time consumption.
I suggest finding a way to make facial molds with living model faces upright. Rigid death masks probably are not subject to enough gravity reshaping to be worth considering.
I somehow got through it and the end result was a quite good life mask. I think if you work closely with your models and keep them at ease, claustrophobia doesn't necessarily have to rule them out.
Mold does not really become heavy, it just becomes stiff and does not move with the live person. This is really a problem when I cast the diaphragm (belly) which must move as we breathe. (It took a while to learn how!) And since I use a direct-plaster method, which is not safe for inexperienced workers, I will not give an Instructable lesson. My website shows/tells as much as I am comfortable revealing.
By the way, you can simply dispense with the costly alginate and make great lifecasts with only the bandage. There are plenty of tricks with it too, but worth a try.
Merely touching a short straw may make most people sneeze, possibly ruining the mask.
Very interested what is in the open mouth to form that flat plane.
And I put a napkin into her mouth cause I didn't need teeth, I am going to drill that part =)
Air bubble holes are wetted and filled with a thimble-ful of plaster in one step, and sculpted with a brush or sponge or - whatever.
Plaster gauze is not merely dipped (in warm water), it should be 'smushed' to make its plaster a thick liquid. I prefer painting some real plaster on the hairy algy surface because poking the delicate algy mask is bad and i want a good surface to lay bandage on. I think you need around six layers of bandage to have a strong enough mother-mold.

Finley drops to many passes.
Finley drops to many passes.
I concur, but I'd go 1. Receiver 2. Avril 3. TE
Not sure about Cook due to the tagging situation now, but one of the others would be good. It'd be nice to get Keller off the Jets and here, hopefully he could stay healthy though
I haven't a problem with signing anyone but it has to be cost effective. You have to weigh up who is available against who is in the draft, and how much they will cost. Personally I would look at any of WR, OG, OT, TE and CB, maybe sign a couple, then look for the rest in the draft. Cook would be good for sure, but would a great TE in the draft be better, I dont know for sure.....
Dolphins Til I Die
"Finley likely staying in GB: The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that Packers tight end Jermichael Finleys play in the second half of the season appears to have convinced the team to bring him back for about $8.25 million in salary and bonuses in 2013. "
As much as I'd like to see Miami sign a difference maker like Mike Wallace, I think we can get the receivers in the draft. I like your thoughts. Cook is on the rise and would seem like a great fit in Miami's system. Another pass rusher to look at is Johnson from Cincy -- a guy that has connections to Coyle.
I would prefer to get Jennings over Wallace, and draft 2 wr with 2 of our first 3 picks. Would like Avril, but he will cost too much I think. Draft a DE with one of our 1st 2 picks. The $ we save by getting Jennings could be used to sign our 2 drafted Wr. If cook is off the table, Keller would be a nice addition. I don't see us drafting a TE this year. As much as I don't think Fasano should be resigned, I think he will be. We won't give up on Egnew after 1 season, but if he fails next year he is gone. Fasano will probably stay for a couple more years, and he may be the best we can get if we don't land Keller. CB is an area in FA that needs to be targeted. Keller, Jennings in FA would be great. Avril would be a bonus. But it will cost too much. Looking forward to FA thou
You go Greg Jennings in FA, you sign Martellus Bennett to 3 years/16 million. You draft Patterson #12, Trade up to the mid 20s and draft Ziggy there. You still sit with a late 3rd. You draft your pure BPA. We go after the BPA secondary player.
Freeney and Umanyiora are way too old for my taste. I hate signing older free agents unless your team is loaded and that older player is the missing piece between making the playoffs and winning a Super Bowl. If Freeney signed with Miami they would spend next summer trying to find his replacement. I would prefer to sign someone with at least 5 good years left in the tank., maybe 27 or younger.

I'm gonna miss Jordan Staal. But, I guess we got decent value for him considering he wasn't gonna re-sign again after his contract expired next year.
Sometimes it makes me sad, though... Jordan being gone. I have to remind myself that some Pterodactyls aren't meant to be caged. Their wingspan is just too wide. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to play them on the third line DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my Gronk.
... On the plus side, without Staal (& now, Michalek too) my Pens are suddenly "cap rich" ... Hmmm ... Parise?
It ought to be interesting to see.

As far as workplaces go, Peter Pilotto's Haggerston studio, which looks out over the canal, is about as covetable as they come. The best view, though, is of the label's dazzling fall/winter '14 collection, which takes pride of place in the company's meeting room. Colourful screens and stools and the odd cheerleader print also add personality to the offices, while exposed piping and rows of sewing machines create a raw, industrial counterpoint. This is where the magic happens, folks.
And, just what is that magic? In addition to running one of London's strongest labels, Peter Pilotto and partner Christopher De Vos have managed to bag this year's BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund Award. Then there's the wildly popular collaboration for Target and Net-A-Porter — have you been to a cocktail party this year without seeing those ubiquitous (and totally chic) printed skater dresses?
Ahead, a behind-the-scenes peek of the design duo's inspirational studio space, plus an interview with the guys themselves. What makes these print masters tick? What's the secret to their success? Click through to find out.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RP great bra I have a hard time finding bras that give a lot of support. All the high support bras are D cups. This one is great and I especially love the zipper. I do not have to fight to get it on or off. It is a little gappy at the top (where my cleavage would be if I had any) but it does not affect the support level. December 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LJBadger Great support, runs small Love the front zip! I think it runs a bit small. If you're more than an A/B cup, I'd try going up a size. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mommac Perfect! This sports bra was just what I was looking for! Absolutely love it! July 2, 2014

This aerial panorama of the University of Arkansas was taken by James Blakeway during an Arkansas Razorback football game. Centered in the panorama is Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Originally named Bailey Stadium in 1938, it was renamed Razorback Stadium in 1941. After a $20 million contribution to the 2001 stadium expansion by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, capacity increased to 72,000. The University, founded in 1871 in Fayetteville, Arkansas on a hilltop farm overlooking the Ozark Mountains, is home to one of the most beautiful assemblages of collegiate athletic venues in the Southeastern Conference, including Bud Walton Arena, the football practice fields and the John McDonnell Track Field.

Remember pensions? Back in 1975, 85 percent of private-sector workers covered in a workplace retirement plan had one. Now it's closer to 30 percent. Unless you're in the public sector, your workplace retirement options are probably limited to a company 401(k)-type plan, which lays the responsibility for retirement squarely on you.
Remember to go to the AARP home page every day for tips on keeping healthy and sharp, and great deals.
That's a trend that has retirement experts worried. "The 401(k) alone was never really meant to be a complete pension plan for clients," says Dan Keady, director of financial planning for the financial-services organization TIAA-CREF. "Most people also had a defined benefit plan."
The solution, experts say, is to build a "personal pension" with a portion of your assets. To encourage people to do just that, the federal government recently proposed a host of regulatory changes to help Americans convert 401(k) assets into monthly checks.
These rules should make it easier to use part of your 401(k) stash to buy a longevity policy, a relatively new kind of annuity that kicks in at an advanced age. You could buy the annuity at retirement but agree to defer payouts until — and only if — you reach 80 or 85.
Why would you kiss your cash good-bye for 20 years — and maybe forever? Retirement experts tout longevity policies because they're an effective defense against the risk of outliving your money.
Security later in late
For buyers, they can be a potent planning tool. You know your living expenses will be covered if you hit 85, which translates into peace of mind — and greater freedom to spend now.
But perhaps the biggest attraction of longevity policies is cost: They are far cheaper than their better-known cousin, the single premium income annuity (SPIA). Both are sold by insurance companies, but an SPIA is an immediate annuity — you turn over a wad of cash and start getting payments right away.
Longevity policies are a deferred annuity; they're less expensive because you're giving up control of your money for years, and you won't get a penny back if you pass away prematurely. MetLife says a 65-year-old man who wants $1,500 in monthly income could buy an SPIA for $272,000; a deferred longevity policy that pays the same amount starting at age 85 would cost just $52,000.
Longevity policies have been available for years for individual buyers, but they haven't been popular. One obstacle: Current tax laws make it difficult to set aside a portion of a 401(k) for an annuity.
Under the rules, people must begin withdrawing a specified amount from their accounts (called a required minimum distribution, or RMD) after they turn 70 1/2. The proposed changes exempt the annuity purchase from RMDs, which should make an annuity more attractive for people who want to minimize their withdrawals.

Hamilton Hall offers scores of FREE VACATIONS to people with HIV and elderly gay / bisexual men who cannot otherwise afford a vacation period but need one. We donate at least 20 weeks a year for free periods - and as a venue coping with a credit crunch where, like all other businesses - we struggle financially - we have absolutely no reason or need to offer this.
Hamilton Hall is not a charity ;- We are not financed through Corporate Funding;- We have no rich benefactor and we are not linked to any other religious or spiritual organisation with pots of money to finance us. Hamilton Hall relies on guests paying to stay here and on long hard hours worked for no wage by someone who ses things a little different to the normal 'screw you' all the time and where it seems big business would knife you in the back to make some money - just as the banks have been doing for decades as well as the utility companies... to name just a couple.
Louise Hays says in one of her books that there is a part of society who are quite cruel to gay people, and it IS gay people, and this is very true. There can seem to be a lot of gay men who are not very supportive or nurturing and can often be quite screwed up with jealousy, resentment and envy towards anyone who has something they do not, and then offer a bitter attitude which does nothing but destroy. Many are in need of some kind of therapy - and some just to experience kindness with no strings attached to show that not all people are profit / power driven, and as Hamilton Hall wishes to help, support and nurture the gay community and try and offer a bit of soul - to run a business not for profit but for the people - Hamilton Hall and any profit made is offered back to the people to try and put some balance into the scene, and for this, some people love to bitch and damn and throw abuse at us, and this saddens me.
I believe the world is in the mess it is in PRECISELY because big business cares more about profit than it does people, I set up Hamilton Hall and run it with a strong aim at offering our community - a space for healing - to recharge the batteries through a non jugemental and friendly atmosphere of calm and where we keep our prices as low as possible and offer far more than you would ever dream of for the price - and far more than you would ever dream of finding at any other men only venue in the UK today - or any Premier Inn , Best Western or even Hilton.
We also have a constant maintenance programme on the building, and if and when I sell up from here, this building will be pulled down and replaced with flats, so all monies spent on double glazing etc. is simply for the benefit of my guests and not for any future investment when the building is one day sold. This is also a very expensive building to maintain, being an old Victorian house in constant need of repair.
Every room is a delight and is maintained, redecorated, items replaced and improved on a constant basis in order to keep it as nice - if not more so - than you would ever expect. Just this year - 2013 - the whole hotel had brand new beds and bedding and while this is something I am constantly doing, all the beds were replaced in one go, which costs an absolute fortune as we do NOT buy cheap.
Some people doubt us and question our honesty.
Some assume we make a fortune and take expensive holidays - drive big flashy cars and live a wealthy lifestyle.
Some assume I do this for the fame and the sex I get from running a clothing optional venue and some assume I do all sorts of things... which in all honesty, I do not. Some assume it is a piece of cake running a venue like this and is easy work and some even think I can afford to pay staff to do everything for me and many - quite simply - haven't a clue yet will voice attitude and judgement while knowing absolutely bugger all. I am almost celibate these days as it is unprofessional to 'bonk and lust after' the guests, and I have as much sex - per year - as I would have had in ONE MORNING when living in London, when I was an escort.
Oh, and I have not claimed a wage since the venue opened in March 2000 - while working between 12 - 18 hours a day - 7 days a week - and while I get my board and lodgings, I would think so to, considering I have invested a huge amount of money in bringing the gay community such a venue, which is hugely needed. Some doubt my honesty and send me hate mail - some throw abuse at me and others offer venimous attitude when speaking about me - but who have never met me or even been here, and I have invited these people for free weekends to try and see if I can open their eyes, their minds and their awareness - yet not one has had the guts to accept - which I appreciate is a person with a blocked mind and the desire not to change and see things through different eyes. It has been a painful journey of realisation for myself - and I am now aware I cannot reach every person and some, I have to let go and maybe one day they will ' get it ' from someone else, some place else, and they will grow and evolve at their own pace. I concentrate on those who are ready and willing, open and honest.
How many other gay venues - or people - do you know -
donate so much time, hard work and monies for so little financial reward ?
Some doubt anyone and everyone who works from the heart and not the wallet, and this says a great deal more about them than they realise.
We do have signs in every bedroom asking guests to switch the lights out when they leave the rooms and yet this seems too hard for some who leave every light on they can find a switch for and this betrays Mother Nature and the environment and us here at hamilton Hall and our huge bills. So we now have a charge of £25 for those who seem hell bent on deliberately leaving lghts on and deliberately saying ' fuck you' to the environment and future generations who rely on us to try, in whatever small way we can, each and every single one of us, to clean up the mess we are creating and be responsible for the children we leave this planet to.

- person in the U.S. has this name View Glen Joelson on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Modern coinage from the Scottish word glen 'valley' (Gaelic gleann), in some cases perhaps representing a transferred use of the surname derived from this word. In recent years it has been used far beyond Scotland as a given name. Among well-known bearers of the name is the U.S. country singer Glen Campbell (b. 1936). There has been some confusion with the Welsh name Glyn, which has the same meaning.

With Inauguration Day approaching, President Obama is reshaping his Cabinet and White House staff for his second term. In the latest change, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has said he will leave his job at the end of March, creating an opening at the helm of the agency that oversees public lands.
Obama has already made selections for the prized Cabinet jobs at Treasury, State and the Department of Defense. The president has faced criticism for a lack of diversity in his new Cabinet, but has responded that he is only at the beginning of the process of picking people for the top jobs. "I would just suggest that everybody kind of wait until they've seen all my appointments, who's in the White House staff and who's in my Cabinet before they rush to judgment," he told reporters at a recent press conference.
"I'm very proud that in the first four years we had as diverse, if not more diverse, a White House and a Cabinet than any in history," he said. "And I intend to continue that, because it turns out that when you look for the very best people, given the incredible diversity of this country, you're going to end up with a diverse staff and a diverse team."
National Journal looks at the appointments that have yet to be made, as well as who's expected to stay, and who's already been appointed:
The Upcoming Appointments
- Commerce Secretary. The post has been unfilled since John Bryson resigned in the aftermath of a hit-and-run car accident this summer. Export-Import Bank Chair Fred Hochberg is in the running and, if confirmed, would become the first openly gay Cabinet member. Alternatively, the job could go to a someone from the business world or to someone else inside the administration, such as U.S. Trade Rep. Ron Kirk or Karen Mills, head of the Small Business Administration.
- Energy Secretary. Steven Chu is expected to step down, and the short list for his replacement includes Energy's Deputy Secretary Daniel Poneman, North Dakota's Democratic former Sen. Byron Dorgan, who served on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and former Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, who heads the Center for American Progress.
- Environmental Protection Agency Administrator. Lisa Jackson announced last month that she plans to step down after Obama's State of the Union address in January. In recent days, outgoing Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire seems to have emerged as a frontrunner for the post. Other potential successors include the agency's deputy administrator, Bob Perciasepe, Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the California Air Resources Board, EPA air chief Gina McCarthy, and Heather Zichal, the White House's top aide on energy and climate issues.
- Homeland Security Secretary. If Janet Napolitano takes the AG spot, Obama may need to nominate a new head of the Homeland Security Department. Possible picks include New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, law-enforcement expert Bill Bratton, and retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen.
- Interior Secretary. Ken Salazar plans to step down in March, and the president is likely to look west for his replacement, to candiates like Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire. John Berry, current director of the White House Office of Personnel Management and former director of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, is another possibility.
- Labor Secretary. Hilda Solis, who has served in the job for four years, is stepping down, creating an opening at the helm of the Labor Department. The list of possible replacements is long and includes Arlene Holt Baker, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO, and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
- Transportation Secretary. Secretary Ray LaHood indicated a year ago that he would leave during a second term, and he's still planning to head for the door. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is seen as the frontrunner for the job. Democratic former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell is another potential candidate.
- White House Chief of Staff. With Jack Lew headed for Treasury, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough is the top contender for the job.
- White House Office of Management and Budget Director. Obama might give OMB Acting Director Jeffrey Zients the full-time gig. If decides to go in another direction, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, and Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council, are also seen as contenders.

The Hulk
Action/Adventure, SciFi/Fantasy
Scientist Bruce Banner has, to put it mildly, anger management issues. His quiet life as a brilliant researcher working with cutting edge genetic technology conceals a nearly forgotten and painful past. His ex-girlfriend and fellow researcher, Betty Ross, has tired of Bruce's cordoned off emotional terrain and resigns herself to remaining an interested onlooker to his quiet life--until a simple oversight in the lab leads to an explosive situation in which Bruce heroically saves a life by absorbing a normally deadly dose of gamma radiation. Believing himself to have emerged from the accident unscathed, Bruce can't deny he's experiencing some strange side effects--including blackouts and the feeling that there is some kind of strange and dark, yet attractive, presence within him. All the while an impossibly strong, rampaging creature, who comes to be known as the Hulk, continues its sporadic appearances, cutting a swath of destruction in his wake. But Betty Ross has her theories; she knows the shadowy figure lurking in the background, Bruce's father David, is somehow connected. She may be the only one who understands the link between the scientist and the Hulk, but her efforts may be too late to save both man and creature.

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
One of but a handful of Scotch whisky distilleries that possess onsite barley maltings, Glen Ord has a decidedly large maltings capacity of around 36,000 tonnes annually, thus it also provides malt for several other Diageo-owned distilleries. The Glen Ord distillery lies in the village of Muir of Ord to the north of Inverness. It was during the 13th century that King Alexander III gave areas of land to the Mackenzie's of Ord. In 1820, Thomas Mackenzie inherited a plot of land and used much of it to grow barley. The Black Isle, as the area is known, has long since been associated with the cultivation of barley and accordingly the Ord Distillery Company was founded in 1838 and licensed to Donald MacLennan and Robert Johnstone. The pair filed for bankruptcy some nine years later, but continued to run the distillery illegally until Thomas McGregor and Alexander McLennan applied for a new licence in 1855. There have been several bottlings over the years, including a few limited releases and a couple of twelve year-olds, including the Singleton of Glen Ord, which is destined for Asian consumers. Glen Ord had long since been serving the Asian market and exporting overseas; during the 19th century Scotch whisky from the distillery was sold in British Colonies including South Africa and Asia. Acquired by John Dewar and Sons in 1923, who amalgamated two years later with Distillers Company Limited, Glen Ord was eventually transferred to the subsidiary, Scottish Malt Distillers. They in turn were acquired by Guinness in 1985 and following the merger between Guinness and Grand Metropolitan in 1997, the whisky distillery is now in Diageo hands.

Comments On Oct 03, 2013:Loved it 1st ride, much longer than stock. More time on machine allowed the splined center of this part to strip out, and the whole thing spins around itself. Pretty nifty looking paperweight I have now.

Comments On Jul 30, 2013:I bought this thumb throttle in hopes to get rid of the stock thumb throttle, when I attempted to install it the part went right in, but when you try and tighten down the bolt at the top that controls the resistance when pushing the throttle.. its either too tight or not enough.. put the stock back on and it works fine..

Comments On Nov 20, 2011:The carftmanship of this lever is excellent. This lever is suppost to releive thumb fatigue but in my case it caused more. Now I wear adault extra large riding gloves and this lever is a reach for me. Yes it does make the actual pull on a banshee much easier but not for riding, I would only use this product on a drag bike or hillshooter.

I live beside a park that has a MX track and lots of trail riding. I'd usually ride the track for a little while then ride the trails for hours. Eventually I got so tired of it on the MX track that I took it off and put the stock lever back on.

Comments On May 04, 2009:Helps soooooo much with thumb fatigue. Both of my quads (Banshee and YFZ450) have one. Easy to install and looks great too.

Comments On Apr 28, 2009:It really takes the fatigue off your thumb when you go out on the realy long trail rides. Worth the $$
