North Carolina had an all-time high of 17 former Tar Heels playing in the NBA this season, nine of which have helped carry their teams into the first round of the playoffs. GoHeels.com will continue to update Carolina fans on a weekly basis on how UNC alums have played in the last week.
Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors: In game two of the first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, the rookie notched a career-high 24 points along with six rebounds. The following game, Barnes posted 19 points and seven rebounds to help his team to a two-point victory. The Warriors lead the series 3-1 and will return to Denver for game five Tuesday.
Ed Davis, Memphis Grizzlies: Davis averaged only three minutes in his last three games and was unable to score. He came up with one rebound in game three versus the L.A. Clippers. The Grizzlies won both of their home-court contests, but travel back to Los Angeles Tuesday with the series tied, 2-2.
Raymond Felton, New York Knicks: Felton earned his fourth double-double on the season in game three facing the Boston Celtics. The point guard recorded 15 points and 10 assists guiding the Knicks to a 90-76 win in Boston. In the next contest, Felton matched his season high with 27 points and added three assists and four rebounds. The series stands 3-1 in favor of the Knicks as the team heads back home for game five Wednesday.
Danny Green, San Antonio Spurs: In the first four games of the series against the L.A. Lakers, Green combined for 28 points and 16 rebounds. The Spurs dominated in each of these matchups, sweeping the Lakers and securing a position in the second round of the playoffs.
Tyler Hansbrough, Indiana Pacers: Hansbrough has averaged 6.6 points and 6.6 rebounds in the series versus the Atlanta Hawks. The Pacers head into game four leading the series 2-1.
John Henson, Milwaukee Bucks: Facing the Miami Heat proved too large a task for Milwaukee as the Bucks were eliminated after four games in the first-round series. Henson saw limited minutes, managing six points and eight rebounds across the matchups.
Antawn Jamison, L.A. Lakers: Jamison put together 29 points and seven rebounds in four games, but the Lakers were no match for the Spurs who won out.
Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets: Though the Warriors control the series at 3-1, Lawson has put up a fight for the Nuggets. The point guard recorded back-to-back double-doubles, logging 19 points/12 assists and 35 points/10 assists, respectively in games two and three. In the most recent matchup, Lawson amassed 26 points with six assists, but the Nuggets fell, 115-101.
Jerry Stackhouse, Brooklyn Nets: After taking the first game against the Chicago Bulls, the Nets have slumped to 1-3 in the series. Stackhouse's time on the court has been minimal-the veteran has contributed five points and four rebounds across the four games. The Nets will battle to keep the series alive back on their home court tonight.

Looks like Cooper is coming along just fine. He's got that look to him and I'll bet right now he's going to due a fine job for you JW.

Cooper is a fine looking dog, congrats, JW .....
I'm sorry for your loss Rusty. Good dogs are hard to come by, and they never stick around long enough. However, the way they can touch our lives makes it all worth while.
Good dogs are hard to find... I'm pretty lucky to have such a loyal friend. There are times where I'll get a little emotional thinking about when the day will come where we'll have to part. It's going to be hard, he's constantly at my side at all times now. Hell, I even take him to work with me most of the time.
Sorry for your loss...I know it's hard...

I used the bag balm last night, was able to sleep again, yay! Today had to mow the lawn again, and used the aveno sun screen, that helped a LOT. I have three days' worth of dishes in my sink now, and that actually helps as well -- not washing dishes constantly. Have to do it today though.
Anyhow, it is a lot better. Also, Jenna's thyroid is ok, got a call from the vet on the bloodwork today. I groomed her and pulled out all the hair she is shedding, and have been applying apple cider vinegar to her skin. The reason he thought thyroid is because her 7 puppies are 4 weeks old, and she is at 90 pounds. She hasn't been dragged down by the little buggers. But we are doing antibiotics for the boils/fever now, and for the yeast, all we can do is groom and apply the ACV, because of the pups.
At least I protected them from further damage from the sun today while mowing, and the cracks are starting to close up.
There is a lot of handwashing in this. It just goes with the territory. But the aveno seems like really good stuff.
The soap in the bathroom is softsoap, not specifically antibacterial. I had a bar of homemade stuff that was great. I have dove sensitive skin bars, and will use that for most washing now, and leave the soft soap for visitors.

That is tough, wishing you good healing.
Don't use dishsoap, it's formulated to cut grease - it will strip the oils in your skin and dry your hands. Neutrogena hand lotion works excellent, you only need a little after each hand washing and it's not greasy. Straight Glycerin soap. And don't worry about the puppies needing to 'smell your hands' they're getting enough of your scent without that, although rubber gloves can do damage anyway. You might want to try a soap with chlorhexidine in it after handling the sick dog.
I feel your pain, sometimes in the winter when I am grooming a lot I call myself lizard lady because my hands are so dry and cracked.
I use dove hypoallergenic/sensitive skin unscented bar and body soap. Regular dove doesn't seem to hurt but the other stuff is the same price so why not. I place it where I need it - kitchen, bathroom and downstairs sink. I wash my hands a lot too and when I'm busy I am more likely to just use the dish soap beside the kitchen sink rather than go to the bathroom to wash my hands. I also use latex gloves for when I will need to wash my hands often in a short period of time. I use them to prepare the dogs meals (I feed raw) and some cleaning. I still wash my hands of course, but I don't need to as often. And I lather on the lotion before I go to bed and any other time I can. Usually just when I go to bed though.
I make sure everything I buy is unscented. And goats milk soap is wonderful stuff. I have yet to break down and use the bag balm though lol.

Aquaphor just recently came off the prescription required list.
The reason for the gloves required is that the stuff is almost Vaseline like and you want it to absorb not rub off.
Lynn & Traveler
No gloves with the puppies, because they need to smell my skin, and I need to touch them. Very important.
I just do not want to spread anything from one litter to the other. Jenna has something going on, with some boils, and a yeast infection. Two pups are small. I have had her to the vet a couple of times. Today again, blood work, recheck, etc. I have some problems with my immune system, asthma, thyroid, diabetes. Which means that if I get sick, it hangs on forever. So I try to avoid the germs as much as possible.
Anyway, long story short, I am washing my hands away. I will dump the antibacterial soap, and use my dove. I did get the bag balm out, last night. STINK!!! It is made of lanolin, I think I read on it. Yesterday my hands were swelled up, and indeed making a fist was out of the question. But the bag balm did help. I was able to sleep anyway.

|It sounds like you are over doing it. If all your dogs are healthy, why worr som much about hand washing? Puppies should be strong enough to handle their own breeder's bacteria. That's where they got started with. You run more risk with your bleeding hands than the pups do.

I was given a bar of goats milk soap a couple years ago and it is wonderful, it is very gentle and non drying, I often buy it

Take a look at this soap made from goats milk, just saw this on the news the other day. The soap is supposed to be great for skin issues/cracked skin, might be worth a try?

"Like God, the Divine Proportion is always similar to itself." - Fra Luca Pacioli
All the information you will ever need to know, including step-by-step proofs, real world applications, explanations, phi, e, the Fibonacci sequence, and tons more can be found by clicking the sub-topic links on the left sidebar!
Fabulous Fibonacci is a website explaining the mathematics and applications encompassing the famous Fibonacci sequence. We were most fascinated by the wide-range of real life applications associated with the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence also stood out especially because we were not only able to learn the development of mathematics through historical research, but also through studying everyday aspects of life. It was extremely intriguing to uncover the sequence's complexities, while on the surface Fibonacci numbers seem very simple. Through the development of our website, we were able to explore and learn the history, proofs and properties relating to the sequence and it's applications to music, plants, animals, art etc. We designed the website so that others would also find it extremely appealing because it is written at a level that is easy to comprehend by most people. It also analyzes everyday elements in our lives that relate to mathematics.
Just to give you an idea of how relatable the Fibonacci sequence is, drag your mouse over the image below of the galaxy.

AMES, Iowa —The temporary "city" known as Farm Progress Show is digging in and rising out of the fields at the intersection of Highways 17 and 30 east of Boone. Tents, mulched areas and landscaping soon will be filled and surrounded by new machinery and product displays for the international crowd that will attend the show Aug. 28-30.
The hoop building that houses the main Iowa State University display is one of only a handful of permanent buildings on the site. Located at the intersection of Seventh Street and Central Avenue, the Iowa State building is a place where visitors meet and talk with Iowa State experts and participate in interactive displays.
"Iowa State University has a permanent presence at the Farm Progress Show for one reason – to deliver on our land-grant mission of serving and educating," said John Lawrence, director of Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension. "By generating, sharing and applying knowledge, Iowa State has the opportunity to make the world of agriculture a better place."
Lawrence said this year's building theme, working together to care for the land, gives Iowa State faculty, researchers and extension specialists a platform for discussions about Iowa's landscape that increase visitors' understanding of the relationships between soil and water, and their interactions with plants and people.
"We want to have conversations that help people understand how the actions they take influence the landscape. We want to share the knowledge we have so people will see and talk about what they can do in their part of the landscape," said Lawrence.
Members of the extension integrated crops team – agronomists, plant pathologists, entomologists, economists, agricultural engineers and watershed specialists – will host the Iowa State building displays including an Ask the Experts area. A schedule of Iowa State building hosts is available online at www.extension.iastate.edu/fps and at the building during the show.
Beyond the Iowa State building
The Farm Progress Show is known for its extensive array of information and technology for today's farmers. And it is natural that Iowa State University would be integrated into different aspects of the show, including agricultural tours to nearby research projects and facilities. Around the show grounds look for Iowa State banners to locate Iowa State experts and exhibits.
The Rural Life tent is a place to relax or purchase gifts; it is also the place to learn more about Annie's Project. Led nationally by a team based at Iowa State University, Annie's Project delivers farm risk management education to farm women. Annie's Project team members will be available during the show to provide more details about the program and upcoming educational offerings.
Jesse Randall, forester with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, again will operate the Iowa State Sugar House along Antique Row during the show. Further north on the east side of the show grounds the ISU Pull Club will conduct pulling exhibitions with their small scale tractors. The precision agriculture demonstration area east of the show grounds is designed to be educational and is another area where Iowa State agricultural engineers are participating. ISU Extension and Outreach horticulturalists will be available at Conservation Central to share information about hoop building vegetable production.
Farm Progress editors and staffers offer the Wallaces Farmer Hospitality Tent as a central meeting place. In addition to editorial staff from the various Farm Progress publications, they are hosting the Iowa State University exhibit that was part of the 2012 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Design in Action. The interactive exhibit demonstrates how Iowa State University has a positive impact on rural communities. The Hospitality Tent also is host to the Beginning Farmer Center staff and the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Tug-of-War with Grain demonstration.
Iowa State University Speakers
Speakers scheduled at the Wallaces Farmer Seminar tent, just north of the Hospitality Tent, give visitors an opportunity to learn the more intricate details of farm management. Iowa State speakers are on the schedule at noon each day of the show. On Tuesday Steve Johnson, extension farm management specialist, will share farm lease information and Kelvin Leibold will take the noontime stage on Wednesday to talk about estate planning. Chad Hart, extension economist, will answer the question, "What is hotter: markets or fields?" during the Thursday session.
Alison Robertson, plant pathologist with ISU Extension and Outreach, will give disease diagnosis show-and-tell demonstrations in the Renze Seeds building on Tuesday and Wednesday. She is scheduled to be in the Iowa State building Tuesday morning and will speak in the Pioneer building on Wednesday. Elwynn Taylor, extension climatologist, also is scheduled to speak each twice each day at the Pioneer Building.
More details about Iowa State University displays at the Farm Progress Show are available in the show program, at the Iowa State hoop building and online at www.extension.iastate.edu/fps.

Cisco 2811 w/ HWIC-4ESW - Routing Question
Hi there... I don't consider myself a Cisco expert or anything, but I can get around. I'll give an overview of my current setup... I currently have a Cisco 2621 powering a network at our co-location facility... It's a simple setup and is working well. The colo provides a redundant HSRP uplink, so I have their two uplinks going into a Dell switch. From that Dell switch I have a uplink into FastEthernet0/0 on the 2621, configured with my routing network, and then FastEthernet0/1 gets an address from my block of routable IP. FastEthernet0/1 then plugs into another Dell switch where I have all my servers connected. The servers get public routable IP addresses and use the address on FastEthernet0/1 as their default gateway. This works well...
Colo Uplinks (2 cables) --> Dell Switch A --> Cisco 2621 FE 0/0
Cisco 2621 FE 0/1 --> Dell Switch B --> Servers
It's time to upgrade off the 2621, so I aquired a Cisco 2811 which has two FE interfaces, as well as a modular HWIC-4ESW switch. My question is, can I get rid of the Dell Switch A in the setup above and just use the internal switch on the 2811 to accomplish the same thing? And I if I did this, would my two uplinks from the colo plug into ports 1 and 2 of that HWIC, and then port 3 would physically connect into FE 0/0? Or can I logically do that via configuration in the Cisco? I'm not sure how all this works and haven't received the new router yet, so I thought I'd get a head start and reach out to the experts.
My second question is unrelated, but each port on the HWIC switch cannot be configured as a network interface right? I'm pretty sure they can't as they aren't considered network interfaces but just thought I'd ask.
Thanks for any direction, I always get pointed to the right place here.
The table that Reza does suggest that the 2811 does not have routed ports and that is most definitely a problem with the table and not accurate information about the router.
From what I understand of Matt's situation I believe that he could use two of the switch ports to replace Dell switch A. Two of the switch ports would connect to the colo uplink. You would probably create a separate VLAN for them and configure a VLAN interface which would have the IP address and would establish connectivity to the colo upstream. You would not need FastEth0/0 for this. So you would have a routed interface and two additional switch ports available for some future use.
In case it is not clear let me address Matt's question about configuring the HWIC ports as network interfaces. The HWIC ports are switch ports and operate at layer 2. As such you can not configure them as layer 3 network ports. But you can configure VLAN interfaces for the HWIC and the VLAN interface is a layer 3 interface and provides the network functionality. As with most switches you could have all the switch ports in a single VLAN but I believe that in your case it would be better to have the 2 uplink ports in a separate VLAN with their own VLAN interface.

Jennifer Lawrence's Miss Dior ads have been released and are flawless
See Jennifer Lawrence's Miss Dior ads »
Is there anything Jennifer Lawrence can't do? As the world eagerly awaits her red carpet dress at the Oscars this weekend, the first images from her Dior handbag campaign have just been released. Following in the footsteps of previous Dior beauties including Marion Cotillard and Mila Kunis, Lawrence looks stunning in the new images that are set to debut in magazines next month.
Fashion photographer Willy Vanderperre, who also photographed Dior's Spring 2013 campaign, shot the campaign. The images show Jennifer Lawrence looking refined and elegant while modeling Miss Dior's luxury handbags. She wears clothing designed by Raf Simons from Dior's Spring 2013 collection. With her face veiled in romantic netting, she clutches the iconic chain-handled Miss Dior handbag.
As for the star herself, Lawrence expressed gratitude to represent the iconic Dior brand. "I'm so excited to be working with the fashion house and wear the new creations by Raf Simons," Lawrence explained in a statement, "His most recent haute couture and ready-to-wear collections glamorously capture the modern era at Dior." With Lawrence's star power rapidly on the rise, one would assume that the feeling is mutual.

Change isn't the only constant for Nick Cave
01 March 2013 , 9:55 AM by Bern Young
"In general I despise change."
So why then does the enigmatic, sometimes cranky, always creative singer, songwriter, film writer, author and composer seek change so often?
"I feel some kind of duty towards the band to keep it alive in some kind of way and change .. is one way of doing that."
To that end, Nick Cave is doing a lot of things differently.
At 55, his latest album has seen him releasing a record independently, co-writing every song with band mate Warren Ellis and in a "do or die move" the band was living together while recording.
"We were advised heavily against (releasing independently) because we didn't know what we were doing .. but I think that fact that we have gone into this as fledglings in some way, has been a really powerful thing for the record. Weirdly enough this record's doing better than any record we've done before."
"The whole thing feels new and feels invigorated."
And when it comes to co-writing with his Bad Seeds collaborator Warren Ellis - "We're so sort of tangled up in each other creatively .. and that is very different for me to actually sit down with someone in a room and write songs outside of the studio."
Change, it seems, is Nick Cave's one constant. Well there's another constant but I'll let him tell you about that.
As the Bad Seeds new album, Push The Sky Away sits at number one on the Australian charts, I had a word with Nick Cave - that word was change.
And as you'll hear even the hotel cleaner was getting in on the theme.

<font color="red">Well now that the helmet is on the way, I was wondering what the difference in price between a set of sintra armor and a set of fiberglass armor was? Luckily I know the owners of the "World's Largest" model train store so I can get all the right paint colors! Anyway I'd just like to know so I can budget my money as to hopefully have my Fett done by C3.
Has anyone else noticed that in ESB Fett's left "shoulder bell" and left knee armor are more of a mustard yellow, whereas the ones on the right are more of an orange-yellow? I just had to ask as I was watching ESB and it is very noticeable on the DVDs. I had to keep going back and watching the same parts over and over so that I could be sure.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
To check all your LEDs (which is what the dash lights are now) first put the electronic odometer into "Test mode" like this: Key OFF, press and hold odometer reset button, continue to hold reset button, turn key ON. Wait until electronic odometer reads [test], then release reset button. Now every time you press and release the odo reset button you'll scroll through one of 30 test functions. The [LeDs] is the 3rd one if I recall correctly. Anyway, you'll know it when you reach it because all the dash lights will come on- even if you don't have that particular function (like traction control) installed in your car. This is different than what Elsolo suggested because watching when you turn the key on will only show the lights associated with your car's installation. Of course, those turn off quickly, and there's no way to test if one is missing if you don't know where it is. In test mode, the leds will stay on unless you turn the key off or press and release the odo reset button to scroll to the next test mode.
I do not have much faith in "title search" services. I'm sorry, I hope your experience is different, but an accident has to be reported for it to show up on a title search. There is no law, in my state, that requires body shops report repairs to any agency.
|I would make a mental note of where the light is in the cluster...pull the cluster and check the bulb if they can be changed...i know they can be in 2002 but idk about 2006....if the bulbs good then go to ford....
I'm thinking youre right about the airbag. I kept searching on the web trying to figure out what this could be. And what I read was that this could be an airbag warning chime warning me that the airbag indicator light is not functioning. Sure enough when I turn the car on today I realize that all the instrument panel lights light up EXCEPT for the damn airbag indicator.
My question is. What should I do know and what could this mean?
Worst case scenario is that I've been sold a car without an airbag or something like that? Please dear god I hope not. Best case scenario is just that the bulb is not working? I hope that's the case.
So should I take it by an autozone or something and see if they can run a free check...or should I take it by a Ford dealership? Its a little bit of a drive for me which is fine but I'm tight for cash right now and I'm wondering how much they will set me back...
Help, I'm stressing out.
|Ok so that's good then, surly something would have shown up, unless they wrecked it and then fixed it themselves, I've seen that happen before. Hopefully it's just a faulty seat belt reminder or something like that. Sucks you got to take it somewhere but sometimes it's best to know exactly what it is than to just start replacing parts or something like that. When you find out I let me know what it was.
Just to make sure I purchased a vehicle history report, no salvage, no accidents/disclosed damage. I supposed it could still be the airbag...I guess I have no choice but to take it in to see what's going on....although I really dont want to make the drive to a dealership.
And I just looked up what a salvage title looks like and mine does not have the salvage brand where I said it would be located.
|My sister's didn't it was in plain black ink. I'd probably take it in somewhere to find out what it is for sure. Sorry I couldn't help your with your problem. Try googling the symptoms and you'll probably see what I saw pop up for search results. If you find out what it is please post it so it helps others.
|That sounds like a air bag chime to me, unless someone else has a better suggestion? My sister has a Taurus that was wrecked and rebuilt and does the same thing. I googled it and that's what I came up with for her car. Do you have the title in your hand look around on it and make sure it doesn't say Salvaged. It can still be blue or what ever color they are in your state. If it does say salvaged then I bet that's what it is. You can probably take it somewhere and have it reset or they could at least tell you what it is for sure. A generic code scanner will not pick it up either you need a special one to do it. I hope I'm wrong and it's something else though.
|So I paid careful attention when I started up the car today. The car sounds the 5 chimes 5 times. So ding-ding-ding-ding-ding then pause x5. After the 5 times it doesnt chime anymore or at any other point while driving. There are no warning lights on, nothing on the instrument panel.
|Not necessarily, it could be for the seat belts or something else? Hard to say at this point. Find out how many times it beeps and if it repeats and we'll figure it out if we can.

Winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel and widely considered one of the most accomplished, powerful, and enduring classics of modern speculative fiction, Walter M. Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz is a true landmark of 20th-century literature - a chilling and still-provocative look at a postapocalyptic future.
In a nightmarish, ruined world, slowly awakening to the light after sleeping in darkness, the infantile rediscoveries of science are secretly nourished by cloistered monks dedicated to the study and preservation of the relics and writings of the blessed Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From there, the story spans centuries of ignorance, violence, and barbarism, viewing through a sharp, satirical eye the relentless progression of a human race damned by its inherent humanness to recelebrate its grand foibles and repeat its grievous mistakes.
Seriously funny, stunning, tragic, eternally fresh, imaginative, and altogether remarkable, A Canticle for Leibowitz retains its ability to enthrall and amaze. It is now, as it always has been, a masterpiece.
©1959 Walter M. Miller, Jr. (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Chillingly effective." (Time)
"Introibo Ad Altare"
One of the landmark jewels of science fiction, Walter Miller's Canticle will be, for some readers of a certain age, a treat for the ear, the heart, and the soul. However, so much has changed since the author crafted this work, e.g., the thaw of the Cold War, the disappearance of Latin since the Second Vatican Council in 1965, and the steep decine of the Catholic Church with its rigors and obedience, that many of the central premises and conceits of the book simply no longer commonly exist today. For me, the book was as fresh as when I read it in 1967 as a high school student. I hope that a younger audience enjoys it as much as I have.
Warning: There is a LOT of Latin in this work. This could make it difficult to parse as an audio experience unless you have a pretty good grounding in this tongue. You might want to get the kindle text to read with it. I think you will find it to be worth your while.
"A Classic"
A Canticle for Leibowitz tells 3 tales (spaced 600 years apart) of a monastic order in the American Southwestern desert, founded by an engineer named Leibowitz who tried to preserve the knowledge of the human race following a nuclear holocaust. The first story is set 6 centuries into the new Dark Age, when a simple monk receives an unusual visitation...the second is set in the early renaissance, when an early scientist comes to study the old knowledge...the third is set in a newly modern age, as the world is on the verge of another nuclear war.
It was a brilliant set of stories...today it seems a little dated [e,g, the heavy use of Latin which, today, has largely vanished from the Church], but the stories are very powerful and the symbolism is thought-provoking.
Walter Miller wrote a bunch of great short stories and novellas, but this is the only novel he published during his lifetime. In fact, he never published another work after this one, except for another novel set in the same millieu which was published posthumously.
Tom Weiner's reading is good without being great...at several times, I wondered if he was the best choice for a reader, just because his style seemed a little incongruous. But he's a great reader and he does a good job with this.
"Proving Why It's A Classic"
Every since its appearance in 1960, this has been one of the science fiction novels that anyone interested in the genre (and even those not interested in the genre) has loved. Three separate stories set 600, 1200, and 1800 years after a nuclear war - the monks of the Order of Leibowitz have had their mission in the US Southwest. The bookleggers and memorizers of the order preserve the knowledge of civilization that existed prior to the war and keep it in trust for mankind until it can be used again.
There are much better reviews of the book as a whole that can be found elsewhere. This is a story that grabs you by the lapels at the start and keeps your interest all the way through. The message of Battlestar Galactica - this has all happened before - is presented here in a way that will keep you listening till the end.
The narrator is really wonderful - providing difference cadences and voices which help you differentiate characters and plot lines easily.
Just one historical note. 50 years ago a book could be published with the expectation that the general public would have enough knowledge of Latin as a language to understand phrases without complete interpretation. What does it say about our educational system that this could never be the case today?
"Not what I expected, but worth reading"
I found myself thinking about Ecclesiastes 11: 1-11 many times throughout this novel.
"Is there anything of which one can say,
'Look! This is something new'?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them."
The author has created a book that seems to me to be based on the supposition: "what if?", or "maybe, like this...", and then proceeds to connect the dots in an interesting, albeit dialogue-filled and character-driven chronology. The book displays characters that have a 'true faith' in their beliefs while at the same time allows for some (perhaps justifiable) speculation, although they flirt closely with some heresy at times. I was myself amused at how important Leibowitz had become to the story, especially when his former life is mentioned in passing as it related to the story. Less focus was placed on Jesus by the monks in the story (maybe intentionally?) although they did mention Jesus as Messiah when speaking about him, which must be taken into account.
I found myself shaking hands with the author, while at the same time keeping him at arms length. It is such a unique book, one that presents ideas I may have even accidentally thought about before. I wondered that no one had written something like it before.
Not what I expected, but worth reading
"Must Read Classic"
I do not know why it took so long for me to actually listen to this book, as it has been on my "to read" list for decades. It is a wonderful and thoughtful story (3 actually) that asks tough questions and will cause you to rethink your opinions on some weighty matters.
It is a product of it's time (late 1950's) but is still relevant today. It is a great book to read with a group due to the discussions the book generates. Highly recommend to all!
"Still doing ourselves in..."
This audio book is a good deal. The recording is well done, given the complications of the story. I first read this story when I was in college, and we were not too far past the Bay of Pigs. It seemed more realistic and yet fascinating at the time. This time around, I have seen too many repeats on the part of so-called civilization to do itself in. I found it much sadder. It is a well written book, and the premise continues to capture the imagination.
Yes, but with some precursor statement about the content.
The gilded reproduction of the blueprint was a perfect example of how a uninformed group of people can make something out of nothing. The fact that the thieves took the reproduction instead of the original says something about the human fascination with bling!I was also torn by the choice of the mother to end her life and the life of her child rather than deal with the pain of radiation poisoning.
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
This is one of those books I have tried more then once to read. It is supposedly a classic. Science Fiction Book Club included it in their 50th year Anniversary Collection. This is the first time I have listened to it and I do believe I got more out of it that way. I still am not a fan. It seemed more about the inner workings of the Catholic Church and not a good look.
Leibowitz seems to have been a engineer and not necessarily a good one at that. I also believe that Leibowitz is a Jewish name? The church in the future after the world is almost blown up wants to make him a Saint. Truthfully, I think people in Academia who are not even Science Fiction Fans claim this as a classic. It is funny in parts, but not funny enough.
The narrator is not one of my favorites. He basically has two voices. A regular voice and then a gruff voice.
"Condemned to repeat history"
Walter M Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz, which won the 1961 Hugo, outlines a possible future for mankind. Written during the lead up to the "hottest" part of the Cold War, the tale begins 600 years after a global nuclear conflagration remembered as the "Fire Deluge" and ushers in a period of dark ages where science and technology are shunned. A newly formed monastic order of the Catholic church devotes their lives to collecting the writings and drawings of a 20th century physicist named Leibowitz who attempted to preserve accumulated knowledge. Without any true understanding, the monks tend the memorabilia as a sacred duty. Moving ahead another 600 years, the order is central to a world slowly emerging from the dark ages and relearning science. Finally, in another 600, humanity has surpassed the 20th century, but the foibles of humanity remain and the order must decide on continuing their preservation work beyond the bounds of Earth.
There is little in the way of actual sci-fi, save for the very late interstellar travel that is merely taken for granted. This work is firmly in the realm of speculative fiction and follows the fundamental tenet that people don't change, only societies. Over and over again, Miller demonstrates humanity struggling with and repeating the same mistakes and getting hung up on the issues of morality and right vs wrong when church and science collide. The brutal indictment of humanity given the gravity of the nuclear cold war on full display back around 1960 was both sobering and chilling. One could easily imagine similar vignettes starting with global terrorism or cyberwarfare going into overdrive.
The narration is quite well done with a solid mix of voices that spans the various time intervals.
"Apocalyptic Classic"
This is one of the classic scifi apocalyptic fictions and it still holds up after 50 years. The first section is perhaps the most engaging due to the character of Francis but the 2 that follow are very well written as well. Though 600 years pass between sections it is easy to "catch up" and worth it. There is a plethora of Latin which is sometimes not translated within the text so it may be worthwhile to look for annotations if you're interested. In either case it is a wonderful novel, full of symbolism and religious allusions and serious issues to debate. Science and religion get rather interestingly mixed. Another novel that I find something new in each time, this being my 3rd. There is humor, but there is also an ominous shadow over the narrative.
"Maybe it's just me"
The narrator was good with the different character voices, but the overall tone was too dry and succinct - as if the narrator was reading the evening radio news instead of a story.
Between the overly verbose conversations and droll tedium there were parts where the story progressed. The continuity between the ages and church vs. state dilemmas are interesting, but you really have to dig through the fluff for it.
I purchased this book on the many five star recommendations that I read, only to be disappointed.
Unlike some of the other 1950-60's books I have read that stood up (i.e. Heinlein's and Aasimov's books), this one did not stand up to the ages well - and I'm not just talking about the use of Latin.
This story could be half as long and accomplish just as much, but it was written in a time when literature was ornately over-worded (i.e. Lord of the Rings, Atlas Shrugged, etc.) so I feel this story fit the generation from whence it came. By today's standards though, it's a bit of a tired slog :(
"Very Badly Read"
A good reader was needed. Mr Weiner read it with as much feeling as reading as if it was a Seed Catalogue.
Almost everything was wrong. He had no expression in his voice nor was he able to differentiate between characters in the book for the listener. He spoilt a very good novel.
This is a book I enjoyed immensely some years ago. I was looking forward to hearing it as an audio cd. It is a great Sci Fi Novel.
I am so disappointed that a very good novel, one I had enjoyed reading in the past, was spoilt by very bad reading. Lesson to be learnt - always hear a sample before you buy.
"really enjoyed this."
really enjoyed this. ment to be the inspiration for the fallout franchise and you can really see it.
"Dear oh dear."
If it had never been written
Yep, dreadful book.
The lot!
I'm probably far to unkind about this book, but honestly I was expecting something to happen and I don't think it ever did.
"Great Writing and Perfect Narration"
This is the story of Earth, North America specifically, after a future war and how civilisation might shape and rebuild itself in its aftermath. It is told from the perspective of the occupants of a religious monastery over incremental periods of time, stretching many hundreds of years, starting in a pre-technological age and progressing to a highly industrial society. Sure, there is a close enough similarity between this fictional advancement as recounted by the author and what really occurred in our own history, with Mr Miller providing some rationalisation in respect of the good and the bad that befall the main characters.
I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this book, other than it came highly recommended, and noting that it was published in 1959. What the reader gets is a witty, gripping, fast paced novel; a real page-turner that is perfectly narrated. Certainly, the author's own religious beliefs and political opinions leak through at certain points, but not in a heavy-handed way. Although the sequel to this book, written 36-years later mind you, has not been received as warmly, I thoroughly recommend A Canticle for Leibowitz to anyone seeking light, enjoyable entertainment.
"Disappointing and dated"
This book is three loosely related short stories jammed together fairly roughly (which is historical fact, not my opinion). The tone of the stories is rather ponderous, which does not make for interesting or lively listening.
It IS an interesting artefact of Sci Fi history... as a post nuclear apocalypse tale from the late 1950s. My Latin is actually quite good, but not adequate to understand much of the Latin statements in the book when spoken (as opposed to seen).
"Loved it"
It was the first one I downloaded with my initial free credit and it is still the best I've listened to.
Any of those genre of sci-fi books that I call post-apocalytica. So Earth Abides by George R. Stweart or I Am Legend by Richard Matheson but also future history novels like H.G. Wells the time machine or Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon.
I haven't heard anything else he's done but I would certainly like to.
The end of brother Francis' story made me gasp.
I love this book. Despite spanning many centuries and dealing with big issues, it manages to be about individual characters wants and needs. One of those rare Sci-Fi pieces that combines the cerebral with the personal successfully.
"Those who don't learn from histories mistakes"
Original, cautionary and brave
I liked the unusual fact that this story doesn't take place during one setting but over a period of time thats set in the future but features settings that can be considered ancient, medieval and futuristic. In some ways its tragic but talks about human nature in a way that often makes people uncomfortable.
I think its refreshing to find a book in a sci-fi setting that incorporates sincere religious belief not just as a feature but as a central tenant to the novel.
"The Best Author Ever."
I've listened to it several times and have even about a copy of the book. This book is a poem to the circular nature of humanity. A prophetic testament to our desire to control the cataclysmic power of physics and its inevitable triumph over us.
"A true sci-fi great"
Walter Miller's Canticle for Leibowitz stands as tall as anything produced by Arthur C. Clarke or Azimov. The post description of post-deluge America and the reconstruction of education draws on obvious historical parallels. It also points out the church's manipulative and controlling attitude by seeking to rule through fear; much as it did in the middle ages. A great novel, full of allegory and meaning (and some humour!)
Highly recommended.
"Over hyped"
I went into this Audiobook thinking I was in for a real treat. In reality I found it incredibly slow and difficult going. It is a very interesting concept and I can understand why so many people rate it highly. However, I would suggest that you don't raise your expectations too high, as you may then get more out of it than I did.

New Gas Industry Astroturf: Landowner Advocates of NY Buses Activists to Albany Pro-Fracking Rally
Steve Horn | October 16, 2012
By Steve Horn • Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - 22:46
A pro-fracking rally held on Oct. 15 in Albany, NY was described by about a dozen local media outlets as a gathering of roughly 1,000 grassroots activists from all walks of life.
All came out to add their voice to the conversation regarding the extraction of unconventional gas from the Marcellus Shale basin in New York state. But the marchers weren't concerned landowners worried about losing their water supplies or property values. Their demand: to lift the current moratorium on fracking, which was prolonged by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sept. 30.
One rally attendee, Doug Lee, described the ongoing fracking moratorium as a "communist act" to the Albany Times-Union. Another described anti-fracking activists as "well-funded and organized activists masquerading as environmentalists, who often do not need to make a living in our communities." Republican Sen. Tom Libous, observed that Hollywood stars Mark Ruffalo and Debra Winger weren't on the scene, telling them to "Stay in Hollywood. We don't want you here."
Unmentioned by any of the news outlets that covered the event was a crucial fact: these weren't actual "grassroots" activists, but rather astroturf out-of-towners bused in from counties all across the state. Their journey was paid for by the legitimately "well-funded" oil and gas industry, which raked in profits of $1 trillion in the past decade.
According to the Associated Press, the pro-fracking rally and march were organized by a brand new front group called the Landowner Advocates of New York formed in the immediate aftermath of the recent Cuomo decision to stall on opening the fracking floodgates.

Lost Valley
Photos submitted by Dr. Doug Jeffries on 12/3/2012.
Dr. Doug Jeffries' Botany class and Dr. Kim Van Scoy's Earth Science class spent a day exploring Lost Valley, off Highway 43 near Ponca.
Because of its spectacular rock formations, caves, and falls, Lost Valley has long been a popular destination for hikers. It was established as an Arkansas state park in 1967, but the park was transferred to the National Park Service when the the Buffalo River was designated as a national river.
An added bonus to the trip was a chance to stop in Ponca Valley to see the elk that live in the area!

FC Porto 0-0 Arsenal
UEFA Champions League - December 6, 2006
By Richard Clarke in Porto
For a side whose reputation has been built upon the beautiful game, this was Arsenal's version of "winning ugly".
Of course, Arsène Wenger's side only drew in Porto on Wednesday night but the point was enough to send them through as the winners of Group G.
Both teams came into the game well aware that a stalemate would see them progress - no matter what CSKA Moscow could do at Hamburg. That fact seemed to hang over the game for the entire 90 minutes.
Porto were the better side on the night and will point to Ricardo Quaresma's two drives against the woodwork in the early stages of the second half as an indication of their superiority. However, aside from that, Jens Lehmann had few real alarms. They came for a point and got it. But there was precious little entertainment in the process.
Champions League Group G will not be looked upon as vintage Arsenal by any means. But last year's runners-up achieved their aim and, at this stage, does anything else matter?
Wenger was already without Thierry Henry through suspension and, somewhat surprisingly, chose to leave another striker, Robin van Persie, on the bench. Emmanuel Adebayor was asked to plough a lone furrow up front and Mathieu Flamini was brought in to bolster the midfield.
Undoubtedly the move was inspired by the fact Arsenal only needed a draw to win the group. The last thing Wenger needed was to concede an early goal as they had in Premiership recent games.
The Estadio do Dragao cuts an imposing figure on the Porto skyline. It filled slowly for tonight's decisive fixture but, by kick off, booming music and the traditional card show from the stands made for an expectant atmosphere.
Both sides knew a point was enough but Porto had to win the game to win the group and therefore ensure a draw against a second-place side from elsewhere.
The opening moments were cagey with most of the pressure coming on Lehmann's goal. In the sixth minute, Gael Clichy clipped Bosingwa on the right. Quaresma floated the free-kick to the far post where centre back Pepe beat the German keeper to the ball but directed his header over the bar.
In the 12th minute, Gilberto gave the ball away in midfield and Raul Meireles hacked the ball when he should have called Lehmann into action. Midway through the half, a fine string of Porto passing ended with Helder Postiga gently volleying the ball into the keeper's midriff from long range.
To this point, Arsenal were defending reasonably well and, most of the time, were passing their way out of trouble. But they still had not mustered up a shot.
It was pretty sterile stuff.
In the 25th minute, Fucile and Postiga combined cleverly on the left and Quaresma's extravagant flick caused Lehmann some concern at the far post.
A shot from Lisandro Lopez flew dangerously into the area and then, five minutes from the break, Paulo Assuncao thundered in a shot from range. The haste at which Lehmann flung himself to his left illustrated his concern.
Inbetween those opportunities, Arsenal had their first shot on goal. Although Kolo Toure's long-distance trickled well wide it was the first the visitors created anything going forward.
The visitors did create a promising opening in the dying seconds of the half. Fabregas fed Hleb in the right hand channel. The Belarus international got to the byline but his cut back was cut out.
Three minutes after the restart Porto should have taken the lead. Lopez sent Assuncao roaring down the right. His pull back from the byline evaded everyone except and fell to Quaresma at the far post. The 23-year-old's low shot rebound back off the base of the post.
Fabregas curled a free kick into the hands of Porto keeper Helton a few minutes later. But just before the hour Quaresma capitalised on Djourou's hesitancy on the edge of the area and his cross-shot hit the woodwork in exactly the same place as his previous effort.
The Portuguese midfielder howled at the heavens in frustration.
The second half was certainly more lively than the first. The game was more stretched and there were openings for both sides. Neither took them.
CSKA had trailed in Hamburg early on but, midway through the half, the Russian side were in front. It meant a positive result here would send the victor top and the loser out.
If this was communicated to the players then it would only turn a cautious game into a virtually paranoid one. Certainly the last few minutes petered out into nothing.
But, ultimately, at the full time whistle both sides had got what they wanted. Porto were through and Arsenal were top.
Job done.

Two future members of the Canisius College men's basketball team have been named First-Team All-Western New York by The Buffalo News. Adam Weir, a senior at Canisius High School was honored as the Allen Wilson Player of the Year and he is joined on the All-WNY First Team by future teammate Jermaine Crumpton, who is currently a senior at Niagara Falls High School. Both players singed their National Letters of Intent to join the Golden Griffins' men's basketball program during the NCAA's early signing period in November and will be on the team's roster for the 2013-14 season.
Weir is the second Canisius High School player to be named the local Player of the Year, joining with former Canisius High and Canisius College graduate Darren Fenn, who was honored after his senior year in 1997. Weir finished his scholastic career with 1,339 career points and 409 career rebounds. In his senior season, he helped lead the Crusaders to a 31-2 overall record and the team won its third-straight Manhattan Cup. As one of the team's captains, Weird poured in 21 points, seven rebounds, two assists and 1.5 steals per game. A two-time All-WNY First-Team honoree, Weir will be the fourth local high school Player of the Year to play collegiately Canisius, joining with former winners Ray Hall (1981), Jeff Taggart (1985) and Fenn.
Crumpton averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks per game for the Niagara Falls High School Wolverines in his senior campaign, which saw the team post a 17-4 overall record. The 6-foot-5 forward also averaged 3.0 assists per game and like Weir, was a finalist for Mr. Basketball in New York State in 2013. Crumpton was an All-WNY Second-Team selection in 2011-12 and along with Weir, the two future Griffs are the first All-WNY First-Team selections to join the Canisius program since Hodari Mallory signed an NLI to wear Blue and Gold in 1998-99.Canisius ended the 2012-13 season with an overall record of 20-14 and a MAAC record of 11-7. The Griffs saw their season end in the quarterfinal round of the 2013 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, which marked the program's first postseason appearance since 1996. The 20 wins last season is Canisius' seventh 20-win campaign and its first since 2000-01. Canisius' plus-15 win differential is the best in school history and it ranks third at the Division I level this year. The 11 MAAC wins are the most for the Blue and Gold since 1998-99 and the team posted a 12-4 mark at home in the Koessler Athletic Center, setting a program record for home victories on campus in a single year. Canisius will return six letterwinners and three starters to next year's team.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about the rising number of 'computer glitch' articles during 2013 and discussed that our approach to technology monitoring is not good enough for today's digital economy. Equally I have also seen an increasing number of inquiries in relation to monitoring and management strategies as businesses start to realize the importance of business technology monitoring. This has been good to see but in order to achieve ROI from any monitoring or management solution investment you have to firstly understand the business importance of the IT or digital services that you provide before making any purchasing decisions. While working on Forrester's TechRadar on Business Technology Monitoring it became evident that the monitoring solution market is evolving at quite a fast pace with a number of developments in infrastructure, application and end user monitoring resulting in new features and new solution approaches.
So if you are responsible for, or are involved in, your company's technology monitoring or management strategy then here are the major, high level market developments that you need to be aware of:
Posted by John Rakowski on October 2, 2013
If not I would be very surprised! Personally I have been shocked by the number of media articles referring to how 'computer glitches' have crippled enterprises during 2013. It seems that every week there is a press article on how IT problems have brought an organization to its knees. The latest being reported this morning in the UK by the BBC, where hundreds of outpatient appointments and a number of operations had to be postponed after computer systems failed at Scotland's largest health board, the NHS in Glasgow. Unfortunately you don't have to look far to see other countless examples – just type 'computer glitch' into a search engine – how many media articles did you find? I found around 25 separate examples during September 2013 alone! Examples ranging from financial trading markets with Nasdaq to the airline industry with JetBlue Airways.
This wide coverage of these IT problems highlights three areas:

9/11 and Songs That Heal
Human beings are storytellers. We have painted on cave walls, carved totem poles, hired town criers, acted out plays, sang songs, watched movies, and searched Google in our never-ending quest for stories.
In the dark days after September 11, 2001, music was a powerful mirror for our emotions. These are a few of the songs that moved me then, and continue to move me a decade later.
"Overcome" by Live
"Overcome" by Live was written months before 9/11, but it became an anthem for the moment thanks to its deep lyrics and moving message. The band recorded a video in tribute to the first responders, and donated proceeds from the song's sale to charities that benefit the victims of the attack.
"Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)" by Alan Jackson
Country music fans found solace in a song by Alan Jackson released a few months later. Alan's "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning" captured our collective shock at what we saw. In a laid back way, Alan recognizes that we all stood still that day.
"The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen
For me, personally, the most powerful musical moment came when Bruce Springsteen revealed "The Rising". It is sung from the point-of-view of a firefighter climbing the stairs of the World Trade Center with a "half mile of line" on his shoulder and a "sixty pound stone" on his back. When I first saw Bruce and the E Street Band perform the song live amidst a stage of bright white lights, I was moved to tears.
I still can't listen to that song without being touched by the imagery of an innocent firefighter leaving for work one morning without any idea of the horror about to be encountered, and never to return home.
Has any other song so eloquently captured both the profound sadness and inspiring resilience that we all felt at that point? The song was at once a token of gratitude to those who perished as well as a call to rise above the rubble and rebuild our lives.
Jeffery Symynkywicz said it well when he called "The Rising" "a national Good Friday experience if ever there was one."
And this weekend, there is this song being played at radio stations around the world. It is a remix of the song "Heaven" by DJ Sammy that tracks the decade of a young girl growing up longing for the father she lost in 9/11. It was created by the team at KLUC radio in Las Vegas.
Yes, music is a wonderously powerful storytelling tool. It helped capture emotions and heal wounds after a tragic event. It moves us to dance and sing and laugh and cry.
We humans are desperate to hear amazing stories.
So instead of telling us about your discount items and free parking and empty advertising BS, tell us a story.
Tell us your story.

I have been offered a job in a trilingual school, I had a trial class with 3 year olds and it went really well. I then had two 15 minute classes with 0-1 years and 2 years. These classes didn't go so well as I have no experience on working with babies, the youngest I have taught is 3 years and I am comfortable with this. The nursery part is basically to act like a nursery nurse while I am there. I have the opportunity to go back and do the baby classes again, can anyone PLEASE help me on ideas of what I can do with both classes while I am there. I am desperate for this job as full time positions are impossible to find where I live!
Many Thanks

text: well...here's my idea for my custom mandolorian: say a fett just crash landed on earth and his final act was to bequeath his belongings to a human. (yea, kinda like hal jordan for you comic guys) so he dons the armor and continues where the previous fett left off. some of his suit would be composed of equipment native to earth, such as a military backpack instead of jet pack, military belt, and grey denim for the jumpsuit, and an XM8 modified to shoot laser blasts. watcha think? yea, the idea came to me because it would be cheaper haha. but what can i do? junior in high school with no job :|

Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Epic Rides' started by AntiHero, Jul 13, 2012.
For all of your great ride, it seems wrong for you to not ride that Pani to COTA.
I would post a response, but the normal reaction to my opinion(s) on people's lifestyles, AND the reason for their lifestyles, is negative! My opinion(s) are based on 'life' experiences and observation.
Congrats on Ducati's invitation----you've EARNED it!!!!
My original post was meant to encourage people to become who they want to be, to identify what was most important and develop it; and to be aware that often its not just others we fool when were wearing our costumes: sometimes we fool ourselves. Thats where the greatest danger lies: at that moment, the moment we confuse our appearance for our abilities and believe we already are who we want to be, development stops.[/QUOTE]
You NAILED it with post #1501!
The rest of your post is, as always, very well said. I'm going to quibble on this one point, just because [g].
There's a subtle but important difference between someone who has fooled himself (and thinks he's fooled us) by adopting an outer layer that is not in any way backed up by his inner abilities, and someone who consciously puts on that layer in jest, in hopes of achieving what he knows he doesn't or can't have, or to inspire observers to feel those same emotions.
It's the difference between a poseur asshat in race leathers who can't corner, and a full-of-life jester at Mardi Gras.
In other words, it's not the mismatch that offends. As with so many things, it's all about attitude.
Damnabbit that's good stuff.
My humble quibble is that you're coming at this from your point of strength. Your strength is (I believe from following you across the country with your words and pictures) in your confidence in your own ability. You are confident that your abilities and resolve can get you through anything. What you're missing in the facades of others is the siren's song of escape. People everywhere are trapped in the reality of needs and wants. We need shelter, we need food, we need a job... and we want comforts. But that cage we live in keeps us tethered to reality and keeps us from truly experiencing our dreams. So we escape. We fantasize. We pretend. And we hold on to our tether.
I believe the distinction is in how far we go out on the ledge. We as 'manly men' crave adventure. The open road, the warrior who saves the damsel, the ninja who is invincible and deadly, chrome and bandannas. Adventures. Fantasies. But in the end, we still hang on to the safety line. You always knew you had your job--as long as you had your laptop and your cellphone. You had an income and a place to return to, so even you were still tethered. What I loved about your adventure is how far you were out on that ledge. Further than most any of us will ever reach, and that challenges me personally to reach further. For that, I am grateful.
I see where you're going but I think it's stated a little narrowly. Bad-assed motherfuckers can cry whenever the fuck they want. Nicky Hayden probably crashed a few times learning to do stoppies too. People can still love Ninjas even if they aren't Ninjas (or maybe it's a really good disguise).
Dressing like the things you love in order to wear your heart on your sleeve is very different from the delusion that dressing a certain way makes you a certain thing.
AntiHero, I just discovered your thread this last weekend, and I am so far up to pg 15. It is awesome and I may pm you later as I am planning a similar trip this May. Also, do you miss your D675? I just sold mine and I miss it already, and I may be buying a new one for my trip. I got something against 1L bikes, but still I admit that the Panigale is one exquisite bike.
Good point. I suppose we have 1,2,3,4 types?
1. Authentic - person's estimation of their own abilities matches 'reality'
2. Inauthentic - person is unaware that their abilities are less than they estimate
3. Imposter - person is aware that they are not who they're trying to pass themselves off as
4. Underestimator - person who underestimates their own abilities and is far more competent than they often seem (or believe themselves to be)
Think of authenticity as a system where feedback is constantly analyzed, then classified, then internalized. Inauthenticity would be when new data is ignored and a person believes what they want to believe instead of what they perceive (a method often used is not avoiding situations where their 'skills' are tested).
The blatant imposter knows they are deceiving others, and most likely values the ability to deceive more than whatever it is they're pretending they are.
The underestimator….well, I'll talk about that below.
I do miss my 675. It's a brilliant bike! Triumph needs to get off their butts and make a 1075.
Ben: My point wasn't that Bad Ass people can't cry, it was that they don't cry over stupid shit like parking tickets. And if Nicky Hayden has ever crashed doing a stoppie, I'm quite certain it wasn't due to the fact he attempted one using the rear brake instead of the front. (Incompetence was what I was emphasizing.)
Sure...but in learning a skill, everyone starts at the level of incompetent.
I guess my point was that the guy wearing a full racing suit is maybe just being practical since he knows he's not any good at riding (though trying to do a stoppie on a public street is pretty dumb (but then people do dumb things)). And that the fat guy in a ninja suit knows he's not a ninja but he's being honest with the world in shouting out his love of all things ninja.
I agree with you that if the dude on a Harley is trying to convince himself and others he's a BAMF when he's not, then that's inauthentic; but if he just loves the look of steel and chrome and the feel of an off-balance engine and leather chaps, then more power to him.
So, the idea that you expected a response means you either knew your statement was semi-inflammatory or you have zero faith in human-kind eh ? I say eh because im on page 30 and your in Canada, heh.
Discussing identity is always going to be a slippery slope to climb I'm glad you understood that, although matter-of-factly speaking I, even though in two of the groups mentioned, do not have my perspective narrowed by inclusion or interest.
I did read and re-read what you said multiple times and valued the statements up to and including the assignment of identities, though I felt some of the specifics were incorrect, including the seriousness and who whats and whens of a few things. I did not feel you were being judgmental or narrow-minded yourself until one of the last statements; "Myself? I'd be too embarrassed to be seen with either group.". This statement seemed to put a bullet point in the idea that a judgement was occuring, one that was made enough to validate or invalidate your own personal feelings towards those two types of people. That statement alone colored the entire preceding points.
I do very much understand that we all participate in a world of make-believe. Would you believe I have a friend that read most of your ride report and he himself called you a poser ? That statement is not meant to be an insult just to reinforce what I said earlier that there is always someone bigger, stronger, faster, richer, more tortured, more creative, more nerdy, more poser-ish than you or i or anyone else we personally know.
One of my best friends is a guy, before he died, I was mortified to be around plenty of times. He was a nerd in the biggest sense of the word, socially awkward completely not assured in any way and very naive, in short the epitome' of geek. He taught me more about being ok with being weird and goofy in life, you only have this one to live this time you know ?, than I ever thought I would be able to. I only say this because I mean to validate some of the "posers" and "goofballs". I don't think everyone is a worthwhile person on the contrary I think most people I have taken the time to know are completely worthless actually as human beings. The idea, however that the really genuine folks I have met in 27 countries all over the world in different jobs and facets of life that WERE valuable genuine real quality people, I could have missed by dis-including myself from them with a single statement is frightening. Possibly much less frightening than the concept that the stress and frustration I receive from INCLUSION, but nonetheless I digress.
You point out that you are criticizing those who are not authentic and some of those people I would agree, johnny come lately's fast friends, random includers, heat of the momenters and what have you. In the Harley side of things I can see plenty of those and have spoken to many of them, in Harley riding groups and sport-bike groups as well. Leather-vested carpet installing knee-cap covered guys riding in groups is my favorite to laugh at as a "stereotype". Though I can tell you dressing up as some character at a Game convention, GENCON or otherwise is no facet of weakness or lack of commitment, if you doubt me on this try to make yourself do it sometime, I have been going to GENCON 10 years or more and still never have been able to make myself do it. That act takes guts the likes of which you can't imagine. Maybe I have more latitude for those in the gaming world in this regard because riders' costumes' are pure shit and simply mock safety which is something I can't tolerate, and gamers are purely stepping outside their bubbles to be caused embarrassment and ridicule. Who knows.
I saw you replied again and Ill read that and reply in a second.
Is this the online equivalent of dick measuring?
Lets not clutter up an awesome ride report.
You made some great points here that I want to address. You also made a critical error in thinking I desperately want to address as well.
Backwards in order:
1. Encouraging people to be what they want, develop abilities and strive for greatness at any level is a wonderful thing if it is enacted in a regard befitting them, not you. Our desire to judge and better others is something innate inside of us, and more often than not causes us to err. See the bottom line with this is simply that WE do NOT have the ability typically to understand the path each person is on, even though we see things we think are errors and mistakes. Often our desire to "help" others or our desire for others to be "authentic" is simply not where that person is or should be at that time, you neglect to understand with this statement that if EVERYONE was Nicky, EVERYONE would then be a squid a scrub a noobie, because there would BE nothing to strive to and everyone would look at the next person up with .000001% more talent or time invested or skill aquired.....See what im saying ? We make mistakes in the desiring part for others. I want nothing more than my "tortured" friend to not be, I love him to death and I listen to him criticize others daily for lack of intelligence lack of originality lack of lack of lack of, but that is his path and only he can adjust or change it, see even then I wrote "right himself" and had to go back and change it, its built into us. I think you are on to something here with wanting to understand your surroundings though, I certainly don't want to be riding with "Nicky Hayden" and find out woops no it was a noob that just low-sided and made me high-side because of it, right ? I would never suggest not making a set of judgement calls that help make us safe and comfortable. Though that leads me to the next bit....
2. You reference these Nicky Haydenites in a way, again I dont suggest keeping yourself safe, that seems to state that each of these people WANTS to be something YOU have decided......This is your critical error. So my 1000.00 Miguell Duhamel helmet I bought which was the only thing I bought "from or of" a rider in all history made me want to be Miguel ? ok im not gonna lie I did wanna be Duhamel mostly because im older and he was older most of his career heheh, kidding. What is the line ? Where do you or anyone for that matter get to decide who WANTS to be anything ? Anyone passing this judgement is making a critical error. I do not mean to suggest there are NOT people posing in life, by all means there are. But the larger percentage of people I speak to riding RC-51's are not trying to be Nicky Hayden or CBR600s not trying to be DuHamel or what not, they simply just like the bike or the jacket or the colors. In the case of the Ninja 200 pounds overweight shoving pepperoni pie down his hole you say because he can't scale a brick building in a single bound while assasinating the GENCON committee members he is a poser and I say that guy having brass balls the size of new york state putting on a ninja outfit and trotting around eating pepperoni pizza IS what he was after. See you make a judgement based on what YOU think a person or group should be ABLE to do and maybe thats just your judgement and sure maybe thats a LOT of peoples judgements, 100,000,000 in China eating rice can't be wrong right ?, Wrong.....What people want and desire is not up for discussion or interpretation from us. Now if you walk up to said person and they flat out tell you they want to drag a knee while wearing a .45, throwing shurikens and scaling brick walls with their bad-ass beards and they are serious, poser judgement all the way and i'm with you, I hate those people.
Though I think if you inspect your thought process you will find more summary judgement than inspection-based judgment. We all do it, we are all guilty of it I think snap judgements keep us safe, keep us sane, keep us healthy in most respects its a gut instinct if you will. Though I think when you take the time to say I would be embarrassed to be with be seen near etc, maybe taking some time to inspect those people is in order, you might find your assessment of their "goals" or "abilities" is off base only in respect to your own thoughts of them. Some of these people you will find are right in line with where they want to be, enjoying the purple and bright yellow of a helmet only because its purple and yellow not anything to do with wanting to be Miguel Duhamel (sp* h H h ? ) How else could you explain auto-erotic-asphyxiation ? I am pretty sure those people aren't interested in "posing" for anything as that is a purely alone time mostly lol activity. Also the folks crashing doing stoppies with the rear brake again they fall into a different category than overweight ninjas in my opinion as do the crying harley guys all 3 much different categories.
I rambled a bit at the end...
I applaud that your goal is to back up your outward appearance with ability, I myself strive toward that end. I read voraciously, experience intently, learn and build aggressively and the more and more I consume in this life the more I find what I have said above is true. The real "lesson" here is that as you become more aware, more learned, more enlightened then the responsibility for others' well being and learning, leans to you. The more you know the more you learn the more responsible for others we become, that is the true mark of a human being in this life. I wouldn't suggest you stop judging or making snap calls especially in regards to your safety and happiness, though adjusting your understanding that others' happiness could exist in ways you don't understand and don't agree with might facilitate your own tolerance and pleasure. In addition to that taking on the charge that we should pass on/down/to others our knowledge in a soft and accepting manner will also yeild some fairly interesting results I would bet.
Looking forward to your next reply :)
Pretty nice way to explain what I said in 3000 words lol thanks.
Also stated what I meant in way less words, thanks :)
Krang sorry to reply to you but if you read any of this Ride Report you would very much understand that AntiHero enjoys discussing these things, he speaks flatly and outright about psychology perception feelings feedback understanding and much more throughout his journey and I don't think he feels this is "crapping" on his thread. Anti if you do say the word and censored I will become lol
Yeah, I'm done with the topic.
Fair enough, hoped for a little more conversing on it but cool either way, back to page 30 I go :)

I think there are some older threads on it if U drift thru the rest of the Beretta section.
If I am not mistaken, Baldy bought one and sold it after a couple of weeks or so. I think his wooden grips broke after 1 or 2 range trips, and he had no luck getting Beretta to replace them. If I remember right, they insisted that he mail them the gun. And, he didn't wanna spend the $50 in shipping when he only wanted the grips replaced.
He finally got fed up and traded it away w/i a short period of time.
There is a thread on it someplace...
I have looked at them before, and almost bought one. I am not a fan of the rear sight, though. And, there really is not aftermarket sights available. I think if you send the slide in, Trijicon can MAKE U some sights that will work, but they are not cheap to do that.
U are right, though - that color with the gun looks sweet

Study up on FOUNDATIONLESS systems before the $ are handed over, you may decide that route instead.Go with no foundation, let your bees decide the size of their cells, they're the ones living there :-D
and I will disagree. I hate foundationless. I have tried it. When a colony dies which seems to always happen sooner or later the frames are to fragile and often collapse.
I've got to buy foundations for the first time. I've been building hives and components for a Beek but now have two hives of my own and have been given the foundations for the hives that I now have. I was given "PermaDent" foundations and find that it is 76 bucks to ship 100 to me in Hawai'i. That said, I find that Mann Lake sells a box of 100 Rite-Cell on Amazon for 99 bucks with free shipping. My Beek friend says that he only uses the PermaDent because of delamination problems with repeated use of the Rite-Cell foundation. What are your experiences? My Beek has only had bees for about 20 months and was wondering if he could just be repeating something that he heard rather than having experienced any problems himself.
Now I've got another question. What are you all talking about? What is foundationless or drawn comb?Really feeling like the beginner now!! LOL

My frames are heavier than anything you will buy that HAS foundation in them.. not too sure HOW a frame collapses... I have seen NEW wax collapse when it was hot and it was mishandled.. but in my mediums I can extract honey by spinning them without blowing them out, so a "frame" collapsing sounds like something wasnt done right???
Royall,Hang in there. Your thread hasn't been hijacked. This is how much information is distributed here. You just have to sift through and glean what you want to use. If something is not understood or you need clarification, simply jump in there and ask.
X:X Right on! Its easy to forget that there as many ways to keep bees as there are keepers (many more than there are ways to skin a cat... :-D) and we are all capable of redirecting most any topic. Take what you need, leave what you don't.

Hello guys,
I'm looking for compact travel photo camera with good zoom, good photo quality, good photography at night. At the moment I'm interest in Sony NEX 5 with 18-55mm. What minds about this model? Any advantages or disadvantages from your experience?
What travel camera you will recommend?
I'm the beginner in photography so next few questions could make smile you, but hoping your help and advises.
SONY NEX 5 not best from zoom and compact'ibility side but compact'ibility question could solve SONY NEX 5 body and 16mm lens (by default in NEX 5 kit there is 18-55mm) 16mm lens are much smaller and NEX 5 will became compact and good pocket camera, but I'm not sure about advantages/disadvantages between 18-55mm and 16mm lenses, could you help and explain the major differences between them.
Also, I see different NEX 5 models, like NEX 5N, NEX 5RL, NEX 5R... but not found technical difference between them. Does there only some package differences or something else?
I really appreciate your help and advices on this question.
Many many thanks in advance.

I will first say that I am not new to shooting a gun, I have been shooting with my father for couple years with his guns; .22, 9mm, .22 rifle, .357, and some other guns I just forget caliber. But I just recently got my own license and it's time for me to figure what handgun I would like. After shooting his I always felt his .22 handgun was dinky, grant it he got it for his wife and not him, but I always looked at it as dinky. With that I feel like maybe a .22 is not for me? So now I'm looking at other guns such as berrettas, glock, etc. My dilemma is I do not know what caliber or what brands are good and not crap! So I'm asking for advice on some good brand names that will not put me down in the bank ($1,000) and also what caliber you think.
I do not go hunting, I'm a target shooter, down fall with me is I just am to big of an animal lover to kill, but sucks cause I'm a big outdoorsman with camping and fishing lol

Hello everyone!
I'm a Filipino and I'm a BSN graduate. I have been teaching english in a language school in my country for 6months and just started teaching english to japanese people online too.
This sparked my interest regarding TEFL. I need some advice regarding which certification course I should take as a non-native english speaker so I would be eligible to travel and teach english too. I would prefer to teach privately, just like my current job as a tutor, not in a big school. Is there such a place where non native trainees are very welcome? Because I have heard a lot of stories about this and even on youtube, it's always the native speakers that have videos.
Thank you so much. This will be of great help!

It sort of looks like you are conflating "purposeless" with "non-random". These do not necessarily carry the same implications.
Maybe. Just as a matter of interest though:I quoted these two leading scientists:
Stephen J. Gould: "We are global accidents of an unprecedented process with no drive to complexity" (1997 p.214).
Jacques Monod thinks that "Pure chance, absolutely free but blind, lies at the very root of the stupendous edifice of evolution ..." (Monod, 1972, p.110); and "Man at last knows that he is alone in the unfeeling immensity of the universe, out of which he emerged by chance." (p.167).
What do you think they meant by 'global accidents and pure chance?

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger was left with much to worry about after the loss at Stoke on Saturday but his biggest concern was the lack of chances his side created.
Arsenal conjured up just 14 shots in the defeat at the Britannia Stadium with only four on target, the lowest tally in any game this season.
After the game Wenger refused to decry Stoke's tactics and defended his own team selection, however the greatest issue was that lack of incisiveness from his side.
"My biggest worry is that we did not create a lot," he said. "We are not used to playing without creating chances and that is very frustrating.
"They scored on two throws and I know you never want that. But we could not express our strong side in the game, which is to create chances and get them out of position.
"I don't approve or disapprove [of Stoke's tactics]. They played the game they wanted and they played it very well. At the end of the day, they could express their strong points and we could not."
Wenger made three unforced changes for the game, packing his midfielders with tacklers rather than technicians. It worked in the opening stages but unravelled after Ricardo Fuller scored from Rory Delap's catapult throw-in after 10 minutes. Despite that, the Frenchman saw no option but to shuffle his squad.
"We have to rotate," said Wenger. "Unlike Stoke we play in between [Premier League matches] and the games in the Champions League are very demanding. You cannot play with the same side.
"You can maybe if you play once per month but not three times a week so you rotate. We did play the taller players but the wind is quite strong in the stadium, it is open on one side.
"That makes our game a little more difficult."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Competitors frequently use water, but I do not recommend that it is bad for the sole and the effect lasts for 30 seconds or so.
What worked for me on slippery floor is to concentrate on the inside edge of my ball of feet. Putting more weight there helped me with balance on slippery floors.
And finally I had the chance to ask Luca Baricchi about this!! He said that a kind of medical substance or oil can be applied to the soles if it is really bad, if I remember correctly it was something used against bad stomach... Unfortunately I had no pen with me to take a note.
