Lies Made Flesh and Other Problems of Embodied Existence
This is why I love modern developmental psychoanalysis, because it is the one science that understands the importance of the fact that we are embodied. In this regard, it actually has an interesting parallel with Christianity, because it is obviously the one religion that emphasizes the fact that ultimate truth is embodied--that "the word became flesh."
But the opposite is also true. If truth can become flesh, so can lies--not just this or that lie, but The Lie. This is the hazard of living in a modified primate body. You see, people still think about the body in premodern ways, as if there is a sharp division between body and mind, and that we consist of a sort of immaterial soul that is implanted into a body. (There is some truth to that, but I don't want to go there for the moment.)
Science continues to study human intelligence in the wrong way. There seems to be a default position that intelligence is simply a result of a complex enough nervous system--as if, through blind natural selection, our hominid brains just became more and more complex, until voila, human intelligence popped out. That is a very unsophisticated, pre-post-postmodern view.
For human intelligence and self-consciousness only came about through a very species specific situation, not simply through genes and brains. Although genes and brains were obviously necessary, they were not sufficient to produce humanness.
The situation without which humanness could not (and cannot) emerge is our neurological incompleteness and plasticity at birth. As infant brains became larger and larger, they began to overrun the ability of our female furbears to give birth to them without dying in the process. In order to survive, mothers had to give birth to babies "prematurely" so that much of their brain growth would take place outside the womb.
It was in the hothouse ancestral environment of infantile helplessness, neurological incompleteness, and utter psychological dependency on caretakers that our humanness emerged--and emerges today. Every helpless baby that comes into the world repeats this process, for better or worse, because much of the outcome of development depends upon the quality of childrearing.
As it pertains to the human ability to "know," one of the fundamental problems is that, for human beings, unreality, magic and illusion are actually the "default" state, while reality and disillusion are only gradually learned (if they are acquired at all). Because human beings are born in a neurologically immature, completely helpless state, we are steeped in illusion and fantasy during the time our brains and nervous systems are being assembled.
Early experience is relatively "hardwired" in, so that the substrate of the human mind is built on the illusion that we are not really helpless and powerless, but that our painful and frightening needs will be magically alleviated through our desires. We are cold, lonely and hungry. We cry. Suddenly we are swooped up, caressed, comforted, and spoken to in a soothing manner (or not). Nourishment appears out of nowhere, converting painful stomach contractions into pleasant fullness, while at the same time we are bathed in the radiance of a soft, enveloping, benign universe (or not).
I was thinking about this just the other day with our baby. Of course, we think of him as "the baby" of the house. But in reality, he is the sovereign King, even God, of the house. Every need is attended to, sometimes even before he recognizes it as a need. His every utterance, no matter how inarticulate or ambiguous, is taken seriously. "Yes your majesty! Are we hungry? Do we wish to be held? Do we have a poopy diaper? Your wish is our command!" That's a very intoxicating experience. You can tell.
Infantile omnipotence is a double-edged sword, because without it, we would live in a frightening, barren and hostile universe, indifferent to our needs, to our very existence. The experience of omnipotence is necessary to our psychological survival, but it can have its own dark side, as some people and groups never get past it.
Given good-enough parenting, we will gradually become "disillusioned" from the idea that we are the center of the universe, that our feelings are urgently important to other people, that life is fair, that it is possible for all our needs to be taken care of--that it is possible for heaven to exist on earth. Under ideal circumstances, we will first have the edenic experience described above, and only gradually awaken from it in a non-traumatic way, as reality seeps in little by little.
For a variety of reasons, other children will never experience this blissful paradise, experience it only sporadically, chaotically and unreliably, or be traumatically exiled from Eden by the premature impingement of reality. For such individuals, there will always be a nostalgic yearning for what they missed, this infantile utopia in which frustration does not exist and desire is instantly converted to satisfaction. A few of these individuals will be lucky enough to obtain lifetime tenure at a major university, but the rest must deal with an unyielding world that does not mirror their unresolved infantile needs.
Back to the idea of our embodied minds. I believe this underlying template of infantile illusion has a lot to do with false beliefs. Not merely false in the sense of "untrue," because no one can know everything, and it is not possible to get through life without holding some beliefs for which there is no proof or which will later be proven wrong.
What I am talking about is not so much false beliefs as what might be called "motivated stupidity." These are beliefs that are not only untrue, but could not possibly be true, and yet, are embraced just as fervently as any truth. In fact, one of the giveaways that we are dealing with motivated stupidity is that these false beliefs are held onto more fervently than true beliefs, as if clinging tightly enough to an object will reinstate one's omnipotence.
I think the problem of motivated stupidity especially afflicts contemporary liberalism. President Bush is not Hitler. He is not, as Cindy Sheehan said, "the biggest terrorist in the world." The war in Iraq is not being waged for the purpose of enriching his already wealthy friends. Bush is not spying on innocent Americans. Global warming during the five years of his administration did not cause hurricane Katrina. This is not the worst economy since Herbert Hoover. President Bush is not a racist. Republicans do not want children to go hungry.
As I mentioned in a previous post, it is much more difficult to do battle with a weak mind than a strong one. Weak thinkers embrace their false ideas in a manner disquietingly similar to religious groups who predict the second coming, or the arrival of space ships, or end of the world, but who do not modify their beliefs when the event fails to come about.
In fact, it is a well-known observation that a few of the disappointed may depart from such a group, while the majority only become more thoroughly entrenched in their belief system, defending it all the more vigorously. These are the sad Ghost Dancers, those who believe that if we only wish more fervently, we really can alter reality. Just like an infant can do. Think of "War is Not the Answer," "Give Peace a Chance," and all the other liberal bumper stickers.
What this obviously means--obvious to a psychologist, anyway--is that the primary purpose of beliefs is not necessarily to comprehend reality. Rather, belief systems are superimposed on a deeper ground of emotional need for comfort, predictability, and meaning. There is a deep emotional need for the world to make sense, even if the explanation actually makes no sense.
What sets humans apart from the animals is not just our ability to know reality, but our even more striking ability to not know it--to create patently erroneous systems of thought that we then inhabit, and which actually compromise our survival prospects. No lion ever entertained the idea that it might be healthier to live on grasses rather than flesh. Penguins don't decide to live near the equator, where it isn't so cold. But the UN thinks that lots of talks and meetings will make the threat of a nuclear Iran go away. Liberals really think that Saddam and his satanic spawn would never, ever, have obtained nukes.
Only human beings can hold ideas that are completely illogical and self-defeating. In fact, there is no doubt whatsoever that the majority of beliefs human beings have held about the world down through history have been false, often ridiculously so. For example, just consider medicine. Until the early 20th century, the average visit to a doctor was likely to leave one in worse shape, not better. But useless or harmful treatments helped people cope with otherwise intolerable anxiety, and were obviously psychologically preferable to the truth: that no one knew why you were sick or how to cure you.
So there is something about human beings that makes them uniquely susceptible to bad ideas. Therefore, it would appear to be axiomatic that there must be something about bad ideas that is paradoxically adaptive. But adaptive to what? Clearly, they are adaptive to internal reality, to the emotional needs and anxieties of the person who holds them. Leftists don't really want Bush to be Hitler. They need him to be. Desperately. As uncomfortable as it is, it is far preferable to being left alone with their own internal infantile anxieties, with nowhere to project them.
The psychoanalyst Winnicott made the apt observation that "there is no such thing as an infant," at least from the infant's point of view, since the infant is unable to clearly distinguish itself from the mother.
What this means is that human beings are fundamentally a group animal, not just in a social sense, but at the core of our very being. We all harbor the unconscious residue of an infantile matrix out of which our individuality only later emerges. In developmental psychology, this process is known as "individuation," and there are many things that can go wrong on the journey from infantile symbiosis to individuation and mature independence.
One of the things that frequently goes awry is that the drive toward individuation is overcome by the opposite, regressive pull toward fusion and dependence (in its healthy form, this drive to merger allows us, for example, to fall in love). Becoming independent is fraught with anxiety, and can trigger a host of emotional problems in someone with a history of insecure, traumatic, or ambivalent attachment.
A casual survey of history reveals that human beings are a deeply troubled species. Arthur Koestler observed that we err in placing all of the blame on human greed, selfishness, and assertiveness--that is, excess individualism. Rather, he pointed out that the amount of crime committed for personal motives is inconsequential compared to that committed by large populations--that is, groups--in a completely self-transcendent manner on behalf of religion or ideology, king or country. The Islamists are a case in point. Suicide bombers obviously do not selfishly kill for personal gain, but selflessly to advance the cause of their group.
Therefore, as Koestler writes, "the historical record confronts us with the paradox that the tragedy of man originates not in an excess of individual self-assertiveness," but in a malfunction of the affiliative, group tendencies of our species.
Koestler also had the intuition that this had something to do with an excessive "need to belong" triggered by infantile experience, leading to an unquestioned identification with the group, a suspension of critical thinking about the group's beliefs, and a trancelike submission to a powerful parental substitute.
As Adam Smith knew, individuals may be selfish, but they are also self-interested. This makes them rational, predictable, and comprehensible. On the other hand, no one knows how to deal with the individual who has given over his identity to the group. Such a person does not possess an individual mind, but a group mind which is not critical, rational, or predictable. As such, they may react violently to any kind of threat, not just a physical threat, but any questioning of their worldview. A harmless wimp may be transformed into a beast of depravity by identifying with the powerful group, tribe, clan, party or religion.
Leftists such as Cindy Sheehan routinely accuse the United States of being the most selfish and individualistic nation on the planet. Interestingly, this may explain why the United States is, by a wide margin, the greatest force for good the world has ever known. In contrast, countries that have attempted to dissolve individual identity by promoting a regressive merger with the nation/group have been a source of unqualified evil: Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, communist China, Pol Pot's Cambodia, and now Islamofascism.
For that matter, look at the infantile selfishness we see in the recent French rioting. They are essentially rioting to maintain the prerogatives of His Majesty the Baby, who must be loved and cared for unconditionally. You do not fire a baby when he is bad. You don't even punish him. In fact, you have no expectations of him at all. European style socalism does the same thing for adults, creating a giant nursery in which the conditions of infancy are perpetuated. In their imagination, angry babies can "fire" the parents that frustrate their omnipotence. But then you have a problem: for the infant still requires grown-ups to fund and implement the nursery. I don't think the Europediocracy will like it when Muslims gain control of the nursery.
This actually constitutes a large part of the "war on terror": trying, for example, in Iraq, to bring individuation and psychological maturity to a people who have known only infantile merger with the tribe, faith, or "strong man." The task is made all the more difficult as a result of the approximately fifty percent of Americans who are merged together in their own infantile group fantasy of eternal suckling on the inexhaustible teat of mommy government: "Don't bother me, I'm eating."
You can't be French forever. Enjoy it while it lasts:

The Horse Forum
- Jumping
- - How Often Do YOU Jump?
How Often Do YOU Jump? I'm simply curious, because quite frankly.. I've heard LOTS of different ideas on this topic. I know a girl in Mexico that jumps her horse a meter 1.10-1.50 4/5 times a week. I personally feel that this is far too much. But that's just my opinion. Some people think that you should only jump your horse every couple weeks, others say once a week, and some jump multiple times a week. I've purchased books that say more than once a week. But to me, it really depends on the horse and the height. I typically jump my boy(really depending on his attitude and the weather), once a week. Two times a week at the max. But he has also only been training up to 3ft at the most so far. So, how often do you jump your horse a week? What do you think is too much or too little? Please share. |
Usually once a week. Sometimes two, sometimes none, but very rarely more than that. |
384 Attachment(s) Well I am new to jumping so my trainer has us jumping only once a month (before a show, only low hunter). Probably step it up before final show of the season, to maybe once or twice week, I set a goal of doing jumper class at that one. Hmmmm, we'll see...... |
it varies on the horse, their training, conditioning, and level of work. every horse - just like every person - is different. one olympic athlete's training palan may be different than the next based on their body, metabolism, and more. for my horses it is all different. i try not to jump my foxhunter more than once a week at home and usually just a single jump or two up to 4' or so, and then the day of the hunt/pace itself. the rest of the time we focus on flat work with an emphasis on trot. if we have a competition a week back to back to back for a few weeks, he may have time off other than just longing once or twice in between and no riding other than the pace because of our territory's aggressive terrain and jumps. my clyde cross is far different. we usually jump every hack - but just once. rarely do we actually work OF, with a bigger focus on dressage bc of his body mass and weight. the dressage keeps him fit and sound and since we event, is the foundation for all of our work. despite his height (nearly 17.3), we don't usually jump more than 3' because at his weight (near 1800#) i'd like to have a sound horse for a long time. however we DO jump at the end of every school at home over a 2'3" coop (tiny tiny) without reins. it's his reward, and at his size, he basically just takes a canter stride over it, and mentally it's his "thank you" for the hard work and focus on the dressage. every horse is different, but the moral of the story is know your horse and make sure whatever you're doing is right for them! |
if a young horse horse is having trouble with something i might jump the same exercise every day for a week until they really get it. if im competing a better trained horse i will jump them higher but less times per week. my 6yo, for example, i took to a 2 day xc clinic on monday and tuesday. she got a day off and flat riding until sat and sunday when we jumped at a show. then she got a week of light flat work and then jumping at a show on saturday and sunday. if they are good at their job its more about keeping them fit and fresh then jumping them a certain number of times per week. |
I trail so I'll give you my daughter's schedule who is training for BN. She rides three to four times a week. She jumps one or two days a week. This is on a horse that has no problem jumping and has good energy so he doesn't get tired too often, however he is learning to jump so we aren't cantering over meters, thank god for her sake. When she jump my kid and her horse go over 12-18 inches about 10-15 times mostly trotting but maybe one canter. |
I lease and don't own, but I usually only jump him once a week. Sometimes I'll go over a LOW cross-rail (like, a few inches high) on my free ride, but usually I concentrate on flat work. Now, this is just him, and it depends on what's happening. For example, I have a show on Saturday that features a jump, and I we only went over it once during my lesson (I'm pretty sure. Maybe twice). So I had a bigger emphasis on jumping during my free ride on Monday. But, he had a proper warm up and cool-down and I did a lot more flat work than jumping. At the height I jump at currently (1' for verticals, maybe a tad more) I'd be comfortable jumping him about two days a week, but that's still assuming that my ride is going to be more flat than jumping. |
This varies greatly with me. At the moment once maybe twice a week. In the last year my generally trend was one at the most, sometimes I went a month or two without jumping at all. Usually I jump maybe the same jump 3-4 times. Then I'm finished, it's usually when he's really up himself and I need him to calm down and boy does my boy LOVE jumping, he is ADDICTED to it. Once a month he gets to do a course. |
95 Attachment(s) I think it depends on the horse. If you've got a horse that needs the extra work, 4 times a week might be good for him. I would never do more than 4 days of jumping though. 7 days of riding, sure, but flat. But Cowboy, and horses like him, that are cool, calm, collected, and are just fine with jumping, I would only work at most 3 times a week, if aproaching a show. If the horse is at least 6. Now Cowboy is 4, and we only jump once a week. Period. IMO, he's too young for too much. |
I ride pretty much every other day and we only jump once a week, maybe twice if I'm extra frustrated with something. :| |

Too warm
According to http://www.theweathernetwork.com/:
Toronto | 30'C, feels like 43'C |
Manila | 30'C, feels like 44'C |
That's not right. That's just not right.
At least in Manila, we know about airconditioning and fans. ;)
I love the comparison btw Manila and Toronto. Make sure to do another one in February! What a crazy climate here.

" | An Initiate not born here. You're the first Outsider we've let join in a long, long time. Well, near on twenty years now. | " |
General John Maxson is the grandson of Roger Maxson, and the High Elder of the Brotherhood of Steel in 2161.
Born into the Brotherhood in 2097[1], twenty years after the Great War, John Maxson is one of the wisest and most experienced members of the organization. During his service as an Initiate and Knight, he has travelled the wastes widely and met many people, including Butch Harris of Far Go Traders, whom he considers a friend. He has shown tremendous skill as a soldier and in 2135, at the age of 38, he became a Paladin. Some time later he became the Head Paladin of the Brotherhood.
In 2155, after his father was killed by the Vipers, he ascended to the position of the High Elder of the Brotherhood. By the time he met the Vault Dweller in 2162, he was 65. Despite his body showing signs of age, his mind and wit is as sharp as ever. The Elder would much rather be outside fighting the enemies of the Brotherhood, rather than be stuck underground, tied down by politics of his office.[2]
Interactions with the player character编辑
Interactions overview编辑

- Scout the northern wastes: From scout reports, it is rumored that there is a super mutant nest somewhere to the north. Maxson wants you to confirm these rumors.
Tell me about编辑
Maxson's Tell-Me-Abouts | |
Query | Response |
Adytum | "That's a settlement down in the Boneyard. I went there...oh...a long time ago. I was on a scouting mission for the Elders." |
Angel's, Angels, Boneyard | "Well I don't know a lot. There's a bunch of gangs around there, as well as Adytum and the Children of the Cathedral. Not much else. It's pretty damn desolate." |
Army | "Well I believe there's an army massing to the north and in the mountains to the east, but I don't have any way to prove it. The Elders, they won't even listen." |
Brotherhood | "That's where you are. You want the long version, go talk to Vree." |
Butch, Caravans, Harris | "Butch is the head of the Far Go Traders. He's a little slimy, but he's not a total waste. Unlike those Water Merchants. Bunch of damn vultures, all of 'em." |
Cabbot | "Oh, he's a good kid, even if he does want to be a Scribe." |
Cathedral | "A bunch of religious whackos, if you ask me. I think their main church is in the Boneyard." |
Chip | "Hell if I know." |
Claw | "Oh. Just another stupid rumor. Some people say it's a huge fanged monster and others say it's a vampire." |
Disks | "Holo discs? Hmm? I haven't seen those in a while." |
Elder | "Hehehe. A fine, handsome, upstanding man. The High Elder position is to mediate the meetings between the Elders. You see, two years ago I got talked into it. If I'd of known then..." |
Elders | "Well you see there's four of them and that's about all they can ever agree on. They can't even agree if they want to piss, much less pick a pot to piss in." |
Exodus, War | "Well that was when my granddad, Roger Maxson, led his soldiers here and started the Brotherhood. He never mentioned where they came from, but it doesn't really matter, 'cause...well, this is our home now." |
Gangs | "Well, there's not much to tell. I never ran into any of them. I've heard they're a problem for the people of Adytum, though." |
Hub | "The Hub's down to the southeast. They trade us food and things for the weapons we make here. Now if you're ever down there, you talk to Butch Harris." |
Initiates | "Well that's what you are. Initiates train and learn to become knights or scribes." |
Knights | "The Knights make the weapons. And when he's good enough, a Knight can advance to become a Paladin and then an Elder and so forth. Right now Rhombus is the head of the Knights." |
Library | "We keep weapon specs and history there." |
Master | "What was that? No. I don't believe I've ever heard of it." |
Mathia | "Mathia's my assistant." |
Maxson, Roger | "Roger Maxson huh? Well he led our people here in the great Exodus, started the Brotherhood from scratch. Quite a leader." |
Merchants | "You want to hear about the Water Merchants. Hehehe, well you can't trust them. A few years ago, they offered us Water for a huge stockpile of weapons. We told them no, and you know what they did? Sent in thieves to steal the weapons! We caught 'em, but the Elders voted down going to the Hub to teach the merchants a lesson." |
Paladins | "Paladins are in charge of all security and outside activities. I remember tradin' with the Hub, goin' on scouting missions for the Elders. Ah man, those ware a good times." |
Player | "Vree has it someplace in the Library." |
Rhombus | "Rhombo's been here a long time. A bit stiff, but a helluva soldier." |
Scribes | "Well, Scribes copy down the weapon specs. We've got information all the way back to my granddad. Sometimes a scribe comes up with a new idea for a weapon. Hehehe. Doesn't happen too often. They all answer to Vree." |
Traders | "They're the main ones we trade with. Not totally trustworthy, but not as bad as the others." |
Vree | "Vree's the head Scribe. She's usually in the Library, she always likes to talk." |
Apparel | Weapon | Other item |
Robes | Laser pistol | Small energy cell x80 Stimpak x4 |
John Maxson appears only in Fallout as a talking head. He is voiced by Frank Welker. In the game, he is referred to only as General Maxson, only being given a first name in Chris Avellone's Fallout Bible, where all the dates mentioned in this article also come from, although some of it might have appeared already in the original Fallout timeline by Brian Freyermuth. He is mentioned in the Citadel terminal entries - along with his ally, the Vault Dweller - in Fallout 3.

Visteon Corp. has extended CEO Tim Leuliette's employment contract through 2017, the company said today.
Leuliette, 64, will not receive any additional equity or incentives in his existing contract, set to end Dec. 31, 2015, Francis Scricco, Visteon's chairman, said in the statement.
The pay details and terms of Leuliette's renewed contract will be released by the company sometime in the next two days, Visteon spokesman Jim Fisher said. The company's 2013 proxy statement valued Leuliette's total compensation, including stock options and incentives, at $4.4 million.
Visteon, the onetime parts unit of Ford Motor Co., specializes in climate control, electronics and interior components.
Leuliette has been with Visteon since 2010, and has been the company's president and CEO since October 2012, two months after he was appointed to the position on an interim basis. He succeeded Don Stebbins, who left following a disagreement with board members over the company's strategic direction.
"I am honored and thrilled by the opportunity to continue elevating Visteon's performance and leveraging the simplified, focused, globally competitive business we have shaped over the past 21 months," Leuliette said in a statement today.

The Lamar County Trojans overcame a horrid first half, in which their offensive and defensive lines were manhandled, to come back from a 13-0 deficit to tie the Howard Huskies 19-19 at Trojan Field Friday night.
Lamar had only 39 yards of total offense in the first half of football of the Jamie Abrams era - a half he will, no doubt, not remember fondly.
Coaches and fans knew going in that this team did not possess the overall team speed previous teams have had. Lamar went from backs with 4.3 quickness to 4.8 quickness and it was a glaring contrast.
The LC offensive and defensive fronts were owned by the Huskies in the first half. The defensive front jelled in the second half but the offensive line struggled throughout the game. The fullback dive, key to the Trojan Wing-T attack, was never effective.
Junior Noah Hood pounced on a muffed punt return by the Huskies early in the second half to trigger a burst of adrenaline by Lamar. Alas, the lack of a kicking game - and center line blocking for it - derailed hopes for a comeback win.
Game balls from our perspective go to Hood, quarterback L.J. Smith, running back Noah Eure and defensive lineman Rashad Johnson, who just refused to be blocked.
It should be noted that Franklin Stephens coaching tenure at Lamar also resulted in a tie.
Lamar hosts Pike County next Friday in the Battle of Potato Creek and it will be a war.

I'm so proud of our boys !! They were working so hard to defend our undefeated reputation but most of the crowd in the upper area of the home side bleachers were non supportive and complaining as if they could be out there doing any better! I had NO problem telling them if they can't support our boys when they need us the most then get your lazy out of shape bodies in a uniform and go out there to do better or shut up. Don't just wear the supportive shirts and cheer when we're winning every game anyone can do that but REAL fans are there when times are hard also....so we'll see how well we can ALL cheer and support our boys I'm telling y'all it does make a difference when they are out there tired,hot and feeling hopeless then they hear they're supporters cheering them on!! Let's do better Lamar. Comment by Kim Shaw

Cano out with a cold
Robinson Cano said he's out of today's lineup because he's been sick since yesterday. He called it a cold, and his voice is a little more scratchy than usual. He said he's felt low on energy.
Cano has taken some medicine and plans to take some batting practice in the cage, but he's not sure whether he'll be able to pinch hit.
As for Mark Teixeira, I haven't seen him, but he is listed as a bench player and listed in the batting practice groups. Doesn't mean he'll be here, just means his name is on the list. Take that for what it's worth, which might not be much.

American Chopper build off
Did any of you watch the 3 way bike build off between OCC ( Paul SR) Paul Jr, ( JR designs) and Jessie James?
lots of trash talking from the ole man Sr and Jessie,, Jr pretty much let his design work and fabrication do his Talking, I think Jessie built a beautiful bike as usual, but nothing he hasn't built before,, a" bobber" with a little flash, no Doubt Jessie has tons of talent ,, and the machinery and tools to make just about anything you can imagine, and is so full of himself he sucks ( IMO) Trying to get back in the bike business after his rich wife dumped him,, and then theres Sr,, a no talent wanna be that has his crew do everything, and if he touches anything he screws it up,, Its on the discovery channel,, and probably be a rerun for awhile.. good viewing and lots of drama like always. http://screenrant.com/american-chopp...er-aco-142404/
Sponsored Links | |||
I seen it also.... I like all builder's,, But the drama suck's...I'm getting to the point I don't even want to watch them show's because Of all the drama....You can tell Paul Jr doesn't want all the drama,,, He just want's to do his thing... I really like Watching him.... He talk's more about how things are done...
Now I like Jesse's craftsmanship and he can be lay-ed back at times... But he can kick when he want's to also.. I never had the chance to meet any of them...To know for sure how they really are in real life... So I won't bad mouth any of them... I was glade to see Paul Sr and Jr Hug... That was the best part of the show to me... Life is to short to be like they are... Paul Sr need's to lighten up on Paul Jr...Remember !!!! That's your son man !!!!! One thing I can say about Jesse...He say's what he feel's.. Last edited by NEW INTERIORS; 12-10-2011 at 09:59 PM. |
Senior can be the old man and Jessie is Racer X. There are a lot of talented guys behind all of these guys but the bikes shown in the build off didn't strike a chord w/me. |
I haven't seen part 2 yet, it's dvr'ed, the wife and I will probably watch it Sunday afternoon. Seniors bike looks like a lawn mower, I had to laugh, then I felt bad for him, I think either him or Jason is going to kill that business with toys that look like bikes. I also believe that without the drama between Jr. And Sr., the show would be gone, off the air.

The Build -off and Jesse
Just watched a show today (Sunday) in which Jesse was building an old water cooled knucklehead out of a 30's sprint car in his new digs in Austin Texas. Wasn't Sandra from around there or something? I think Sonny Barger settled around there too. Jesse's into blacksmithing now. He rides an EVO. He should be riding something older with class, like a knuck, a pan, or at least a shovel. He said he was closing the doors on West Coast Choppers. He was at the beginning and the end of that phase. Don't see too many people rushing out to spend a $100k on a bike anymore. Choppers are dead, I'll sell my 52 pan for reasonable (was in Biker magazine), I want to build a cafe/boardtrack style now and need the money. Seniors bike (?) wasn't even a bike. Could that even be ridden at 80 mph, laying down? It was all a publicity hype from the Discovery channel. Nobody loses when your getting paid to be an idiot on national TV.

Unfortunately, drama is what puts and keeps these shows on TV. Personally, I'd like to see a bit more of how they do things rather than the chairs getting thrown against the wall. As far as the bikes. My thought was WTF. Sr's wasn't even a motorcycle. It was kinda like an ATV with flame throwers. Jesse's was a beautiful bike, but you could have a similar bike built by any one of a number of builders, no bling. Jr's bike was all bling and pretty unrealistic from a chopper standpoint.
if i had to ride one of the three id choose jessys bike. bling dont mean crap to me.paul jr is talented for sure but to me its a good rider that wins.
I agree about being a rider..
Jesse won that hands down for sure and he made a good point about that... One thing I can say... He builds them to ride...The other's are display bikes..... You never see any of the other bikes flying down the hwy like Jesse does...... I have to give him that much for sure.... |
I like the artistic creativity of Junior's build... but the wheels and tires really put me off.
Jesse's was a nice bike... but didn't have much unique about it to grab your attention. Functional... but I would call it uninteresting. Seniors was well... useless! What would you do with a machine like that. It gave me a neck cramp, just thinking about trying to ride... I mean drive... I mean lay on it. No useable suspension.... and those flame throwers would be a 10 year-old's dream... but no one else's! The best combo I can see would be Jesse's bike, with Junior's tin... and ditch the ******* smoke. |
The History Channel had a 2 hour Jesse James special on this morning. It apparently cover his trip to Israel to learn blacksmithing and the build of a new bike using a 1937 Drake water cooled Knuckle Head (used in 30s-40s ¼ mile midget cars.
I only caught the last ten minutes of it but it looked kind of like the format of the Copper bike he built a few years back.....not a lot of chest thumping, and concentrating on the build process etc. I would really have liked to see the whole show....too bad I dont recall seeing advertising about it and it being buried in a 6-8 AM Sunday time slot (I understand 8-10AM in other areas) and I see no plans to repeat it in the next couple of weeks. I kind of feel like the History Channel purposely buried it....too bad. |
There is a fairly heated discussion of these three builders and their creations over on the Discovery Channel forum and a couple days ago I was alerted to the fact that even "The Scratch Build Hot Rod" had been brought into the discussion about the creation of hand fabricated bikes and cars. You can see the post if you scroll down to a guy named Mimoose in this thread.
So please don't anybody call me and tie up my phone line...I'm expecting a follow up phone call from Sandra Bullock at any moment now.

Keep up with this: The Kardashian children have filed suit against their former stepmom Ellen Pearson.
Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, and Rob Kardashian are suing Pearson, who married Robert Kardashian two months before he died in 2003, over personal possessions belonging to their dearly departed dad.
Pearson is alleged to have held on to her late husband's diary, family photo albums, and a family holiday photograph. She is reported to have licensed portions of the diaries and photos to Bauer Publishing, owner of both "In Touch" and "Life & Style."
In the lawsuit, filed on April 4 in California federal court, the Kardashians and mom Kris Jenner say that Pearson is responsible for a "despicable and unlawful scheme to hold in secret and convert, and now exploit…private personal and copyright protected" material.
The complaint alleges that, at the time of Robert's death, he left the "bulk of his personal tangible and intangible property" to the four children. As result, the Kardashians say the property in Pearson's possession belongs "incontestably" to them.
As for why the family is filing now, they believe that in January, Pearson "sought to peddle and exploit, and disclosed to tabloid and other media, the private and valuable personal papers of Robert Kardashian," asserting that she was paid for an interview and "provided purported rights" to photographs.
The suit claims conversion and copyright infringement, with demands of at least $500,000 in damagers, plus more in profits, statutory damages, and punitive and exemplary damages.
The family's lawyer, Martin Singer, tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Today's filing should serve as notice that [the Kardashians] will vigorously defend their rights when forced to do so."

There was a time when I used to sit down at the computer every single day,
waiting for new images to come down from Spirit and Opportunity. Like so many others here I stood amazed.. It touched my heart to see the scientists behind the mission fall into tears, when those first images came down onto that big screen at JPL.. I enjoyed playing around with those images, sharing that joy with a bunch of people here doing exactly the same. I enjoyed learning from the mission, learning about cameras, geology, image processing techniques and so forth... I enjoyed sharing my enthusiasm with my wife, as she sat in the couch watching tv on her own.. as I was way to hung up looking at alien desert rocks. There was a time when I would have said that Spirit is dead. But Spirit is still there -it's a robot after all.. it's parts will deteriorate in the Martian winds but it could be preserved as we all know. We all know to well that what really makes us living organisms; our personality, and everything what makes us who we are, cannot be preserved. We die. We leave a lifetime of memories, depending on the duration of our staying here on Earth... There was a time when I would have been sad for the so-called death of Spirit, but I'm more than satisfied. I'm more than gratefull for what really made Spirit something more than just a robot; the real people behind the commands that she was given in order to function.. the people who sacrificed a lot of time of their lives to make Spirit do what she did. The people who decided that this wealth of imagery and other data should be shared with the average man, the amateur astronomer and others that gather in places like UMSF founded by Doug. There was a time that all of the people who's names are on the dvd's carried by Spirit and Opportunity were alive. Undoubtebly a number of those people have died since the Mars Exploration Mission carried on their names to Mars. My wife was one of them. She left on sol 2269 for Spirit, the same number in days from Spirit's landing to the last Pancam images, or 2208 sols. I remember thinking 'you are both dying now...' In memory I like to think of her now as the ancient Greek did, wandering the plains of Elysium, a province on Mars and the imaginary place in Greek mythology where the entrance was gained by a righteous life, the island of the blessed, those who received immortality. Spirit is what we call dead, but she is still there, just as anything and everyone that ever left a memory once upon a time. And to quote Einstein; time is an illusion... So, thank you Spirit, a big thank you to every soul involved in the mission, and another big thank you for the dvd on board, for taking us to Mars, for eternity ! -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.

There's a link: http://www.spaceflightnow.com where "Mission officials and scientists pay tribute to the Spirit rover that explored Mars for six years before succumbing to the harsh Martian winter in 2010". It last 1h14mn50s and it's worth to have a look at. You'll see Steve and much more people talking about Spirit legacy as well as a lot of little stories we all enjoy here.
Since the link point to "home page" of spaceflightnow.com, it'll probably not last long but I didn't find a better one. -------------------- |
