'Grey's Anatomy' Season 7, Episode 12
['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Start Me Up'] Without an over-the-top story line, 'Grey's Anatomy' decided to try invigorating things by having the residents scramble to get to the top of the list for the next chief resident. To add some laughs and extra faces to a still inflated cast, they had first-year students visit for a day to shadow the stars. Sadly, this only emphasized everyone's flaws (Alex flir...
'Grey's Anatomy' Season 7, Episode 11
['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Disarm'] 'Grey's Anatomy' has gotten good at dealing with large traumatic situations, this time borrowing from the headlines and using college shootings as a tie-in to a hospital shooting. After seven seasons, they've gotten the over-the-top plot lines to push their characters to their personal thresholds and make them stronger. This episode cleared out a lot of plot issues...
'Grey's Anatomy' Season 7, Episode 10 Recap (VIDEO)
['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Adrift and at Peace'] In an episode that just happened to have Christmas music playing in the background, Derek took Cristina fishing, Meredith and Owen argued, Bailey was still on a search for a solution to fistulas, Callie gained a backbone, and Teddy was given a re-hashed storyline. This episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' really had nothing to do with Christmas, except for t...
'Dancing With the Stars' Season 11, Episode 19 Recap
['Dancing with the Stars' - 'Finale, Night One'] So, the perhaps unlikely trio of Bristol Palin, Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey has made it to the finale of 'Dancing with the Stars'. Night One consisted of a redemption dance of the judges' choosing, and the crowd favorite, Freestyle. Every season, I hope to see something as insane as Marie Osmond's doll routine, but tonight didn't bring anything...
'Grey's Anatomy' Season 7, Episode 9 Recap
['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Slow Night, So Long'] It's all about the night shift this week on 'Grey's Anatomy;' all the attendings are off celebrating Derek's new grant and all the residents had to deal with the drama back at Seattle Grace. It's good to know that apparently other attendings exist in this hospital outside of the main cast. Cristina has moved from randomly throwing a house-warming pa...
'Dancing With the Stars' Season 11, Episode 17 Recap
['Dancing with the Stars' - 'The Semi-Finals'] 'Dancing With the Stars' finally reached the semi-finals with four characters that represented four different traits. Brandy had the best musicality, Jennifer the best acting, Kyle was the best entertainer, and Bristol had the best luck. The final two dances for each of the couples were split into two rounds. In the Latin round, the dancers had to ...
'Grey's Anatomy' Season 7, Episode 8 Recap
['Grey's Anatomy' - 'Something's Gotta Give'] 'Grey's Anatomy' has proved that the main cast was too inflated. With Jessica Capshaw on maternity leave, the characters have been shuffled around more, and it gave Callie the opportunity to have scenes without Arizona by her side. Having the main characters actually interact outside of their main circles was a breath of fresh air. Derek with Cristi...
'Dancing With the Stars' Season 11, Episode 15 Recap
['Dancing With the Stars' - 'Instant Dance Challenge'] This week on 'Dancing With the Stars' the couples had to pretend they were professionals and were given the music to their second dance 20 minutes before their routines. There could have been several techniques used in teaching the stars, but most of the celebrities just taught a routine by counts instead of music. The test worked out well ...
'Grey's Anatomy' Season 7, Episode 7 Recap
['Grey's Anatomy' - 'That's Me Trying'] 'Grey's Anatomy' introduced a shocking premise last night: Cristina quit. Cristina is one of the biggest reasons to watch the show and if she peaced out of Seattle Grace Hospital, I wouldn't be surprised if fans of the show left as well. So hopefully it won't stick and Meredith and Alex don't wind up as the only original interns left. The chief continu...
'Dancing With the Stars' Season 11, Episode 13 Recap
['Dancing with the Stars' - 200th Episode Special] The theme of the 'Dancing With the Stars' 200th episode was really "Reuse Music Night." There was no way the contestants could recreate magic that two past contestants had, so they needed to be as original as possible. The team cha-cha challenge had former winners as coaches this week, but they didn't help much. (Though they did make for an exc...

AES E-Library
Theory and VLSI Architectures for Asynchronous Sample-Rate Converters
The theory of asynchronous sample-rate conversion is presented using both the highly interpolated signal-processing model as well as the polyphase filter model. A novel closed-loop address-tracking system is disclosed that solves the problem of clock-edge arrival estimation while at the same time providing a low-jitter selection of the correct polyphase filter for each sampling instant. The proposed signal-processing algorithm has been implemented in an all-digital VLSI chip. Measurement results show good agreement with theory.

Topeak D Torq Wrench Review
A Mountain Biking video by mgear - 3,375 views
The D-Torq digital torque wrench series guarantees the proper installation of today's featherweight carbon fiber and aluminum components. To prevent over-tightening, the wrenches include programmable audible warnings for your target torque value as well as over-torque. The visible display makes the wrenches simple to program in Nm, in-lb, ft-lb or kg-cm.
The D-Torq DX features a standard 3/8 inch square drive and a torque range of 4 to 80 Nm. This makes it ideal for bolts requiring a higher torque specification. The complete kit contains a selection of sockets and hardened steel tool bits.
The D-Torq is the most compact digital torque wrench on the market. It's lower torque range of 1 to 20 Nm is perfect for securing bolts on the most delicate high-performance parts. Included with the wrench is a selection of hardened steel tool bits.
D-Torq DX and D-Torq both include a sleek, hard shell case.

Tabernacle furnishings: Here is a great website to give you an overview of the Tabernacle furnishings and what their New Testament (symbolic) counterpart is.
35:21-22 All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord. ...Both men and women came, all whose hearts were willing. One of the things I truly love about God is that He does not coerce anyone to love or obey Him. He always extends invitation to bring our offerings of heart, soul, mind, and strength to Him.
Bunny Trail... When I read how elaborate God's designs were for His Tabernacle all those thousands of years ago, and when I look at His majesty in creation, I get so excited to see His future plans for our earth as well as His astounding, flabbergasting, never-seen-before designs for His New Jerusalem! In Revelation is says the city alone will be 1,400 miles square and high! Can you imagine?
Passover timing: The first thing we get to uncover today, that I have alluded to since early on, is the fact that Jesus was not sacrificed on Friday and resurrected on Sunday morning, but was crucified on a Wednesday evening and resurrected on Saturday evening. There is complete evidence for this. First of all, Jesus told the Pharisees that he would be in the earth for 3 days and 3 nights, not a day and two nights like we have celebrated. How is this possible since His body had to be taken down before the Sabbath, and the Sabbath is known to be Saturday? Jesus was actually crucified on what was called the Preparation Day before a "High Sabbath." The day of Passover (Nisan 14) was always followed by an additional special Sabbath (see Numbers 28:16-18) that could fall on any day of the week. So Jesus was crucified on Wednesday morning, died Wednesday before sundown, and was raised on Saturday just before sundown. Then Mary came to the empty tomb early Sunday morning to find Jesus wasn't there.
If you want to read a more in-depth study on the timing of the crucifixion including the extra High Sabbaths during Passover week, visit this website. I must say, all of this is new for me, too, and we would not have any of this opportunity to learn if it weren't for the Internet! I am so thankful and happy to be on this journey!
Passover Symbolism: In Jewish history, there were specific rituals on the day of Passover. At the 3rd hour (9:00 a.m.), Israel's high priest tied the Passover lamb to the altar for sacrifice. The lamb remained there until 3:00 (9th hour) at which time the priest would sacrifice it and sprinkle (or splash) blood on the altar. At that moment, the high priest would also shout, "It is finished." Then they would take the lamb and put it into the oven, and consume it before morning.
Compare Jesus story: It was the third hour when they crucified him (Mark 15:25). About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit (Matthew 27:46-50). When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit (John 19:30).
27:51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now there is no more curtain between us and the Father. Because of our mediator, we now have complete access to the Holy of Holies! Absolutely miraculous.
27:52 The earth shook, rocks split apart, and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead. If you don't understand the Feasts, you won't understand this verse. Luckily, we've been studying the Feasts, and we learned about "Firstfruits." This is the fulfillment of that Feast. And I can't help but wonder if these "Firstfruits" are the 144,000 according to Revelation 14:1-5. Here is a portion: "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.
Notice that in Matthew, it says, "men and women," but in Revelation, it says those resurrected did not defile themselves with women, which seems to indicate it was only men resurrected. After studying the Greek, it is the Matthew account that seems altered, as the word used is "saints," not "men and women." In my humble opinion, it would make sense that men were the firstfruits and that it was not women who were resurrected. If this is true, it would have nothing to do with chauvinism, just part of the picture of "firstborn sons being bought back," depicting Christ.
Question for reflection:
• Do you feel your heart being stirred to "bring your sacrifices to God?" I have noticed that as I learn about His goodness, power, sovereignty, and faithfulness, my heart is stirred to serve Him out of love and not duty. Let us pray this week and ask God to show us how we might demonstrate our love and gratitude toward Him. It could be done in many creative ways. Our sacrifices could be our time, talents, creativity, money, and even prayers.

Dialogue, ISIS, and the Reading of Evil
Is it enough to condemn evil without trying to understand it?
I'm not sure the answer is obvious. On the one hand, dwelling on the wretchedness of villainy (to paraphrase Obi-Wan Kenobi) can be corrosive to one's inner life. It's why we humans often tell one another to "focus on the positive," or why St. Paul instructs his Philippian friends similarly:
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
On the other hand, two things can go wrong if we condemn evil without understanding it. First, we could miss out on the fact that the "evil" isn't evil at all, but simply another perspective that merits a hearing in dialogue or some other format. Second, in cases when the evil is evil, we could miss out on uncovering the best ways to defeat it.
Throughout his must-read article in this month's Atlantic, contributing editor Graeme Wood puts the Islamic State phenomenon squarely in the second category. To correct this error, he puts forth a well-researched report on the specific beliefs that drive the caliphate.
If Wood's analysis is correct, then actual dialogue with the jihadist leaders, even if remotely desirable, is impossible: their interpretation of Islam requires them to forswear the peace and bridge building that dialogue fosters. However, understanding the intellectual foundation of ISIS would greatly enrich our dialogue about ISIS—particularly the dialogue of Western leaders as they seek more intelligent, more effective strategies for bringing the rogue state down.
That is Wood's thesis, and I agree. It doesn't make reading about the Islamic State any less stressful or horrifying. A steady diet of such articles would mess with my mind, and probably yours too. Which leads us back to the question: does it make any sense for average citizens, with no power over strategy, to let this stuff into their minds? What do you think?
Dialogue and My Facebook Detox
I'm in the fourth day of Facebook detox.
If you read this space regularly, you'll know that Facebook has inspired a good many dialogues (and articles) for me. Some of my favorite colleagues I know only through Facebook. It's become one of the world's great gathering places, so it would be silly for me not to be there and learn what I can.
And yet it's just too easy to slip away for a moment, take a quick break from work, disrupt whatever I'm doing to check Facebook. It's easy to respond to x conversation, add a quick comment on y page, maybe post an update or a question of my own, watch that video (it's only two minutes)….
Before I know it, my concentration's shot. I don't know what or how much I've accomplished. Each day ends with a vague sense of waste. So I'm off (or nearly off) Facebook, at least for a few days.
This seems to be the way life goes, for many of us at least. We engage, we retreat. We make our mark in the public square, we withdraw to reflect and recharge.
It's hardly a new idea. Early Christian thinkers spilled a lot of ink reflecting on "the active life" vs. "the contemplative life" and opining which was better. In modern times the general conversation speaks of introversion and extroversion.
For me, the best is a blend of both—or, rather, a flow between the two. I've spent much of my life in a more contemplative place. Now, with the book and the articles and the conferences and whatnot, my life has taken an active turn, without leaving the contemplative behind.
This flow, I think, is essential for us as people of dialogue. Individual dialogues are demanding work. They require intense periods of listening, deep reflection, compassion for the other, and great care with language, among other things. We can't sustain these wonderful efforts forever. We have to process, give our souls a break, let our preconceptions and the input from the dialogue play together.
How do you know when the flow is shifting? This is where I think listening comes in: listening to one's own heart, to one's exhaustion levels, to the tenor of the conversation at that moment, to the situation, to the other. If we develop an ear for these things, we can let the shift happen when it comes, respect its timing, and go with it.
Oh, it helps to listen to loved ones too. With the Facebook business, I ignored the shift for quite a while. Fortunately, one passing comment from my wife woke me up to face what was happening.
I'm sure I will be on Facebook again at some point. If I listen to my heart with enough honesty, I'll even know when that point is. One can only hope.
Have you ever done a Facebook detox? Did it help? How? Feel free to share.
A Brief (and Interfaith) Christmas Meditation
This morning, my email brought me a story in which the author delivered a sefer Torah, the long scroll used in synagogues, to a fledgling Reform community in Israel. The actual hand-off, which took place in an airport, involved some initial consternation:
I took the scroll from its box, passing it carefully to Yael Karrie, [the community's] student rabbi . Amidst swarms of Orthodox Jews, we weren't sure how a woman holding a sefer Torah would fare, but we needn't have worried. No sooner did Yael take the scroll than an elderly woman, her head covered in a scarf, ran up to us, asking if she could kiss the Torah, exclaiming, "May it bring good things for the people of Israel!"
Without realizing it, the older woman crossed a divide simply by expressing the devotion she holds in her heart every day.
That story inspired the first sentence in a brief meditation I wrote from my own tradition (Christianity). I shared it on Facebook, and I share it with you here:
People can be wonderful. People can be horrible. The gospel story of Jesus' birth contains evidence of both. One reason I follow my faith is that it, like many other faith traditions, assures us that wonderful wins. Or will. To all of you who celebrate it, have a blessed Christmas.
To all of you, may the coming year bring more divides crossed, more bridges built, and a deeper experience of the divine, whatever you conceive it to be.
A Look at Ferguson from the Depths of the Heart
Miki Kashtan writes more deeply about the human experience than just about anyone I know. When reading her blog, I have the sense that she has confronted a difficult issue, taken it into her deepest self (an act of courage if there ever was one), and written down the wisdom that emerges in that interface between her heart and the problem.
This week Miki, who is a renowned trainer and practitioner of Nonviolent Communication, has turned her attention to the unfolding story in Ferguson, Missouri—and thereby to deeper issues of race and policing. I cannot do better than to refer you to her article, "Responding to Violence with Love for All." An excerpt to whet your appetite:
There are times, and this is one of them, where my ongoing choice to stay away from public events and electoral politics no longer stands up to my inner sense of moral integrity. This is a time where I am just too clear that it's only my privilege that makes it even an option to choose. No, I don't think that privilege is "bad," nor do I aim to make it go away, nor believe it's possible or even always desirable to do so. Rather, I want to consider my privilege as a resource, and to keep asking myself day in and day out how I mobilize my privilege and use it for the benefit of all….
This is the first and deepest commitment of any act of nonviolent resistance: I am willing to endure suffering; I will not dish out suffering to anyone else. As people like Gandhi and Martin Luther King knew, and others like them, known and unknown, our willingness to endure suffering is one of the very ways we can reach the hearts of those who are at present committed to cruelty. Nonviolence implies a willingness to trust that everyone is redeemable, even if we don't know how to do it. When we expose our own vulnerability, we invite theirs.
I Went to a Flame War the Other Day…
…and a civil dialogue broke out.
A few weekends ago I took part in an event related to my hobby. From what I could see, it was very well run, the venue was ideal, and everything went off smoothly. Many people praised the organizers on Facebook, where our colleagues tend to gather.
Then there was Joan (not her real name). In a hobby replete with colorful eccentrics, Joan is one of the most polarizing. Many perceive her as negative, hostile, and the source of much trouble. Others get on quite well with her.
During the event in question, she took issue with one of the requirements for participation. The last night of the event, she took her frustration to Facebook in a long post that derided the organizers for their policy and many other matters.
Things quickly got out of hand. The patter at the bar was angry and occasionally unprintable. Many charges and countercharges were exchanged. The flame war spread to several Facebook pages.
At some point, a light went on in my head. Personally, I thought highly of the requirement that sparked the uproar. But despite all her bluster, I could see that Joan and her allies had a point. Maybe there was a way to make the requirement optional for certain participants—not to appease, but because the situation demanded it. So I threw the idea out there.
Almost immediately, the tone of the conversation changed. Commenters started parsing out alternatives and considering the ramifications of each. Other ideas were raised. There was a decent exchange of views.
And—this is the cool part—the people engaging in this dialogue were the very people involved in the flame war. Joan included.
My usual caveat applies: it may have been my comment that changed the tone, but this is not about me. It's about the fact that something rather miraculous happened. But what was it? And what can we learn? A few thoughts:
- In an emotional firestorm, a quiet, thoughtful comment has way more power than you'd expect under other circumstances. It makes room for lurkers, who may be intimidated by the hostility, to speak up. By presenting a third way (in which, hopefully, both sides can see merit), it gives the flame participants a dignified way to stand down. And it simply creates a pause, during which passions may subside. It's a variation of "a soft answer turns away wrath" (Proverbs 15:1), unpacked.
- For whatever reason, we (we Americans? we postmoderns? we humans? I'm not sure) quickly make most issues an either/or. The irony is that few issues actually are either/ors. There's usually a both/and, or a third alternative, or a middle way. It saves us energy if, right from the get-go, we can look at an emerging either/or standoff and think, "What else might be a solution here? What would a both/and look like?"
- We (this is definitely we humans) attach ourselves to so many things: our possessions, our relationships, our body image—and our convictions. There are times at which upholding and defending our convictions is of the utmost importance. But many things we attach to are, in the grand scheme of things, peripheral. Buddhism has long articulated the value of non-attachment, and I think it applies here. If we can approach our ideas and opinions with non-attachment, we can be more flexible in letting them go when the situation requires it.
What do you think? What lessons do you draw from this story? Feel free to share here.
Dialogue, Our Deepest Convictions, and a Knock on the Head
Lately I've been drawing lines in the sand.
This is not like me. Being a dialogue guy, I tend to hear news reports and imagine the complexity of an issue, the not-unreasonableness of all sides, the way in which my view could be wrong.
But suddenly, when yet another sexual assault charge goes south, I think, "This has got to stop." When NPR reports the Department of Defense's research into robots that can wage war, all I can think is "No, no, NO." Damn the subtleties of the individual case. It's time to take a stand.
Part of this, I think, is the concussion. Last month, I went headfirst into the snow while cross-country skiing and sustained what, in the grand scheme of things, is probably a mild concussion. Whatever mild means. As is typical of concussions, symptoms seem to come and go at random, you go two steps forward and one step back, it can take weeks to make progress.
I know what this sounds like. It sounds like the concussion made me unable to handle nuance—clear evidence that drawing lines in the sand is the domain of stupid people.
But obviously that's wrong. Some of our brilliant thinkers have written about the power of convictions and not giving ground. (Shameless plug: I wrote about two of these thought leaders recently, both theologians, and how their thinking about "convicted civility" doesn't go quite far enough.)
And the more I write, the more appreciation I have for the value of convictions. They represent, in many cases, a lifetime of wrestling with ideas. They form an important part of what we bring to the world. At the same time, I'm all too aware of the destructive power of holding one's convictions with an iron grip, impervious to other ideas or even hard data.
Maybe what I'm saying is this:
Maybe my line in the sand is not conviction so much as it is impulse: not impulse as in impulse buying, but impulse as an involuntary reflex of the soul. Such an impulse would come from an unutterably deep place within us—a place common to all of us. We respond from this place when we think of children abused by sexual predators, or Syrian civilians caught in a barbaric crossfire, or frail people with no support system and nowhere to go.
The impulse says: Something is wrong here, and must be made right.
This impulse does not remove the importance of hearing all sides, of considering the nuances of each individual case. But it is a cry for universal values among us: a cry for justice, a cry for compassion, a cry for community.
In fact, sometimes the impulse shapes the dialogue. Example: Many state pension funds are losing the ability to fulfill their obligations to retired employees. On one level, this issue comes down to math: if you don't have the money, you don't have the money, and retirees will have to find another way. But I hear the impulse saying: dammit, Government, you made a promise to these people, and promises must be kept. Suddenly we have two powerful, countervailing forces—one a function of cold hard realities, the other a function of moral imperative—and thus a place to start a robust dialogue.
This is new to me, and yet a very, very old idea in general. (Look at how zealous the God of the Bible is about making things right.) What do you think? How does all this fit together?
Interfaith Dialogue in One's Own House
Sometimes, when we least expect it, we are called to live out what we say or think. Some people do this very, very well.
Professor Paul F. Knitter had explored and taught interfaith dialogue for many years when his wife converted from the Catholic faith they shared to Buddhism. As he writes, it was not enough for him to accept his wife's change of heart. It was not even enough to actively affirm it. He had to engage her newfound faith—and let it reshape his own. What happened as a result is one of the best illustrations of dialogue's possibilities that I've seen. So I will get out of the way and let Professor Knitter tell you his story.
Why We Must Listen, and Listen, and Listen Again
This isn't about aural listening per se, but I think the lesson still applies.
Today my church's lectionary (a fixed order of sacred texts for each day of the year) prescribed the reading of Matthew 19:1-12, in which Jesus speaks out on divorce. In keeping with the monastic tradition that I'm associated with, Igive these lectionary passages a slow, contemplative reading, listening to how the passage speaks to my heart more than my head.
The first time through, the liturgy from weddings past echoed in my mind: "That which God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." The second time through, I heard what I've always heard in this passage: Jesus holds marriage as sacred, regards divorce as a necessary evil, and has some tough words about remarrying—the sort of thing that does not go down well when your country's divorce rate hovers around 40 percent.
Something, though, made me linger.
As I wandered through a third time, another insight emerged. Nearly every reference has to do with a man divorcing his wife—not the other way around. As noted in Breakthrough: The Bible for Young Catholics, "Women in Jesus' culture had very few rights and were basically considered the property of their husbands." A divorced woman would have been extremely vulnerable economically and socially.
Maybe this passage isn't about divorce in general, then. Maybe it's about men and the imperative for them to treat their partners with reverence—along with the implicit message that the women they thought were their property really are much more.
So which interpretation is correct? Both? Neither? I can't tell you for sure—even the notes in my Bibles don't agree. The point here, though, is this:
There's a risk in thinking we've listened enough. Just when we think we "get it"—whether "it" is the meaning of a familiar sacred text, the situation of a friend in crisis, or the experience of historically oppressed groups—we may suddenly stumble upon a deeper perspective, or a whole new level of nuance, or a different side to the issue that has completely escaped us. Which calls us to listen first, last, and always.
In any isolated instance, of course, we may have to wrap up our listening for reasons of time or schedule. But we're on thin ice in thinking we've "arrived" at enlightenment on any given issue and therefore need listen no more.
As you've probably noticed, I've been away from this page for a couple of months. One reason for that involves a difficult experience that I'm starting to think—and write—my way through; you'll see more on that in cyberspace over the next weeks and months. Another reason has to do with the strategic planning I've been doing with regard to The Dialogue Venture. As a result of that planning, you will probably see more of me in places like HuffPost Religion and, I hope, the Christian Century blog (my first post for them—yay!—is here) and the Doing Dialogue blog for the Public Conversations Project and various other places. Because I'm only one person, though, that means I'll be blogging here on an occasional basis rather than the weekly or biweekly articles I've posted till now. Please feel welcome to stay in touch, watch this page, and check my screed elsewhere on the web too.
When the Givens Aren't Given
Think of something you accept as a given: a universal truth, "just the way it is."
Now ask yourself this: is there any chance that your given is not universal? What would it take to make you see it differently? What might happen if you did?
At the beginning of this month, I had the pleasure of attending the 3rd Global Conference on Communication and Conflict, sponsored by Inter-Disciplinary.Net. About 25 scholars came and presented from all over the world. We heard about topics from media in Brazil to terrorism in Indonesia, from active listening techniques to the role of the human heart in communication. It was brilliant, warm, and collegial.
And it challenged some of my universals in ways I never could have anticipated. Consider these tidbits:
- Remember the flap over Somali pirates a few years back? (If you don't, you soon will, given the upcoming movie.) If ever there were a clear case of good vs. evil, this was it, right? Not so fast: according to Sarah Craze of the University of Melbourne (Australia), the pirates see themselves not as raiding on the high seas, but rather as safeguarding the marine rights and economic security of their clans in a stateless society. Most telling is the Somali word for these "pirates," which translates to something like "coast guard."
- For those of us in the U.S., it is easy to hear "Arab tribes" and immediately add the word warring—as if warring is all Arab tribes did. But Ahmed Hassin, who teaches at Deakin University, detailed the essential role of Iraqi tribes in managing conflict and preserving what stability there is in the country after the 2003 U.S. invasion.
- Richard Harris of Japan's Chukyo University spoke about the spaces—physical, cultural, geographic, etc.—in which communication takes place. In the process, he discussed profound variations among regional understandings of what we might think of as givens. Take, for instance, the concept of home: for billions of people, it's not a single-nuclear-family dwelling with a dog and a yard.
It is tempting to read these papers and wonder whether the whole notion of universals is obsolete. Personally, I wouldn't go that far. The overwhelming majority of the world, for instance, has come to the point of asserting that murder, human sacrifice, and slavery are wrong. Monastics and mystics across many traditions seem to agree that compassion, self-giving, and a concern with equity lie at the heart of the divine essence. Neither of these examples is ironclad, but they are enough, I think, to render "everything is relative" overly simplistic.
The point here, though, is that there are fewer universals than we think. And few things open our eyes to this more convincingly than dialogue across boundaries of culture, geography, ethnicity, and faith. The encounter with something radically different from our own world, when heard open-heartedly, can dislodge us from our certainties. We realize that "even where I am sure, I could be wrong."
Once that door to uncertainty cracks open, we can suddenly hear our dialogue partner's radically different viewpoint clearly. More than that, we want to hear it clearly. We are poised to hear her explanation, what she might have to say, what ramifications may arise, how it might affect or expand our own wisdom. It is an exhilarating moment if we let it be.
It is not easy to react this way. But it is tremendously rewarding. And the connections it creates can lead to mutual understanding, a slightly better understanding of the truth, and one extra brick in the foundation of peacemaking across divides.
Letting Our Cherished Convictions Go–a la Thomas Merton
I had a great blog post planned for this week—until a quote from a friend got in the way.
If you've read my book or other things from me, you probably know what I think about our most cherished convictions. We invest a lot of our lives in forming them. They guide us as we try to navigate through life. They may well reflect a piece of Reality and, as such, must be taken seriously.
But ultimately, we are one person among billions, with one set of convictions among billions. Our ability to know The Truth as a whole, on our own, is negligible. So when we enter into dialogue, we set aside those convictions—at least temporarily—to open ourselves fully to hearing the truth that the other has to offer. On a grander scale, holding our convictions lightly enables us to listen more open-heartedly to Reality as a whole, which in turn aligns our deepest selves toward that Reality.
I've said all this before, but then, today, a friend sent me a quote from Thomas Merton—Trappist monk, prodigious writer, and towering intellect on the contemplative life. In his book Thoughts in Solitude, he wrote the following. The first two sentences relate directly to holding things lightly; see what you can make out of the rest of the quote.
We cannot see things in perspective until we cease to hug them to our own bosom. When we let go of them we begin to appreciate them as they really are. Only then can we begin to see God in them. Not until we find Him in them, can we start on the road of dark contemplation at whose end we shall be able to find them in Him.
What thoughts does this quote bring up for you?

Another big reason is that in many (most?) other countries the number of exceptions (deductions, exemptions, etc.) is much smaller, so it is much easier for the government to figure your taxes based on your income reported from the employer. I live in NZ, and I would say the average guy does not file a return. If every scrap of income he made was from a job, or bank interest, or pension payments, or dividends lodged with a broker, then the government has already taxed those things at source and there is nothing more to be said.
On the other hand, there are some items which can be claimed to reduce tax that the government may not know about. This leads to an entire industry in NZ which helps people figure out if they have a refund coming that they did not know about. Most people do not.
And I have been very satisfied every year using Turbotax to prepare my US returns from NZ. The ability to link to financial institutions and automatically download the data is a real plus.

Back in the mid-80s I was involved in the design of a "mini Cray" supercomputer. We did not yet have any hardware to run on, but we did have a software simulator, and we wanted to publish some "whetstone" numbers. We got some numbers, were not too happy with them, and really dug in to analyze what we could do to improve them. The Whetstone code was in C, and used a fair number of library functions to both accomplish the numerical results and the preparation of the Whetstone answer. It turned out that most of the time was being spent in string copy and string compare functions from the library. We concentrated our efforts on redoing those library routines in assembly to take advantage of as many register-to-register operations and multiple-byte operations as we could. Although the Whetstone benchmark was supposed to measure numerical performance, our results showed that the numerical calculations took up little of the time.
Sadly, our "mini Cray" never saw the light of day. The mid-80s were a tough time to stand out in that arena as there were so many people trying to do the same thing.

You could have a fuel injector issue, or a base engine issue. You need to have a compression check done, with a cylinder leak down test. If that all passes, and you are certain your coil and plug is ok, you need to pursue your fuel injection system.

Commentary: The real winner in Oslo
My love of lo these many years came into the room and asked what I was working on. I detailed some topics, enthralled as usual with my own brilliance, but she scoffed at them all. She said that if she were writing a column, she would have something to say about how the Nobel Peace Prize committee got matters a bit wrong.

What do you guys think about an ASCII Gallery?
I wouldn't think that there's much backstory to any piece of ASCII, but it's been used in a memetic way since way back; and it's probably the purest "Internet Meme" since every bit of it originated on the Internet (and older types of networks.)
I haven't run this by Jamie, Greg or anybody else yet, but I'd really like to see a big fat ASCII gallery somewhere on this site. I don't know exactly how it would be worked into the database. But if you like the idea, post all your good ASCII into this thread for now.

From part 3 of the interview:LS: Have you heard any news back from Kimbo's team?DP: Well, they told me they were going to let me know by Thursday. They like the idea of it. The money seems good that I offered them. I don't want to go into detail on that. They were entertaining one other offer, so if they don't go with that other offer, they might go with this. You know, the money is about comparable but he's going to get a lot more exposure with this one, because who wants to see him in the MMA anymore, really? He's not an MMA fighter.

If they do that, they might as well close up shop. It would completely destroy them overnight, no matter how the fight turned out.

Bareknuckle Boxing is a different kind of boxing/fighting than sport fighting. It'd be interesting to see. I wish it'd be allowed more places but uneducated prick politicians frown upon it.

I don't know Voorhees, Kimbo was horizontal and unable to move. I would say that was a good rogering.

AES E-Library
A New Approach to Synchronization and Spliceless Editing
This paper describes a synchronizer which makes it possible, as well as economically feasible, to synchronize a number of video tape, multitrack audio tape, and magnetic film transports. Machines can be locked in synchronization, individually offset with respect to the other machines, and started and stopped at preset positions. No modification to the tape transport or electronics is required because a new SMPTE-compatible time code permits fast slewing even with the tapes lifted off the heads.
