A popular conceit of science fiction is that humans will at some point create a post-scarcity society in which the costs of production are so infinitely low that we are liberated from labor and need merely speak the words Tea, Earl Grey, Hot, from which command, with the tiniest cell-phone tinkle, appears a steaming cup in an alcove in the wall. And while life on a Culture Orbital sounds real nice an at, as a Pittsburgher would put it, let me propose to you that those who relegate the notion of existence without scarcity either to a nanobot future or to an Arcadian past are accepting the dour Present's bill of goods. For what is scarcity, and what are the costs of production? What necessity of human life and happiness is actually as opposed to artificially scarce? Now opposition to anarchist modes of thought generally falls into one of two camps. On the one side are those who say that in the absence of organized thugs with guns controlling all human life on earth, organized thugs with guns would take over. I like to think of this as crackpot Vicoism--I mean, one man's barbaric era of self-reflection is another man's Kali Yuga; it is true that history, like music, often recapitulates its major themes, but you will forgive me for doubting that the entire human cosmos is stuck on the spin cycle. Anyway, the other major objection holds that the sheer complexity of our material society requires a hierarchical, rule-bound, command-based social organization lest the factories decay, the fields wane fallow, the possibility of booking a transatlantic flight on Kayak for the following day be extinguished in an orgy of wanton travel agency. And while it may indeed be true that certain apparently pleasant aspects of modernity would be less readily available in a world that did not require them . . . well, a better world would not require them. Many of these precious conveniences of modern life are merely symptoms of a gross decadence, and much material progress is in fact evidence of human decay.

I submit to you as a counter to this the fact that women don't die in childbirth in the "developed" world with anywhere near the frequency that they used to. While I'm sure there's no need, in an anarchtopia, to return to an era when wan upper class ladies died in their beds while tending to the business of ensuring an heir, there is only so far one can go in lauding the simple virtues of an agrarian past and complaining about our obsession with iphones without recognising that we do, as a rule, end up with fewer dead women and infants and that many more previously life-threatening ailments are now "simple and preventable".

Hm, yeah, that is a very super interesting objection that I definitely should have considered. Maybe I should have said something like, "let me propose to you that those who relegate the notion of existence without scarcity either to a nanobot future or to an Arcadian past are accepting the dour Present's bill of goods."

On the other hand, McDuff, you also have a slurry of cancers and diseases caused by exactly that same system.
Its a good thing we now have the science to diagnose 30 bajillion mental illnesses and the medicines to treat them.
Like beer, industrial civilization is the solution to and cause of all life's problems.
Anyway, the real point here is that we are already in an age of material abundance. There is in fact no reason rooted in material scarcity as to why the technotopia should not already be realized. I don't know what fuck all that has to do with agrarian past, it has to do with recognizing the carrot dangling at the end of that stick just in front of you is not getting any closer. - 10:07 AM

[some] say that in the absence of organized thugs with guns controlling all human life on earth, organized thugs with guns would take over.
Just so. Now, it is true that I think an anarchist society could be stable, but only if it could somehow be started and run stably for a while, perhaps a generation. But that's quite the leap, innit? Political organization is path dependent. Long did I sit in the anarchist camp with no notion of how to get there from here. Finally, I gave up on that as jejeune.
the other major objection holds that the sheer complexity of our material society requires a hierarchical, rule-bound, command-based social organization
Our society does require such organization. But this is no objection to anarchy, unless you are some sort of primitivist. Anarchy can deliver hierarchical order, no problem. It can't deliver a führer, but that is not needed for most social projects. - 10:26 AM

What Justin said and also, this is a pretty obvious mistake (fallacy?), that anything good resulting from X could only have been caused by X, that because, say, Saddam (of Iraqi fame) improved the living conditions of factory workers, only Saddam could have made this happen.

Well, if one is a proper Marxist, the revolution can't come until the paradigm of production ends, hence the Star Trekkian edge to that particular form of utopianism. This, of course, is my primary objection to Marx - that we have the necessary resources to sustain such a system.
I agree that we have clearly reached the point where scarcity need not exist, should our society be fundamentally equal, however, we require further technology to sustain it [i.e. controllable fusion or some such]. Absent that technology, we will quickly retreat to Arcadian nightmares regardless of what we do... And yes, McDuff, more women will start dying in childbirth again. - 11:03 AM

- Leonard said...

"Clearly" even. Wow. Scarcity will and must always exist, in any possible society. It will exist because scarcity is a function of human desires, and human desires are neither finite, nor (even when finite) mutually compossible.
Also: although the above is sufficient as a refutation, just let me add that scarcity also appears whenever goods are finite, and most goods are. That's another thing that will never change. The universe is going to remain finite. - 11:28 AM

The present is amazing! The future is bright! As long as you understand that in order for Us to have this Utopian world, we need to sacrifice the majority of the world to penury and slum living. But I'm sure the billions of people living in nearly literal shit holes from Jakarta to Mexico City to Mogadishu sleep well knowing that their Betters have iPhones and anti-depressants to deal with their social anxiety. Infant mortality is down, so more children get to experience the character building effects of grinding poverty! YAY!!!

IOZ, I'll have to flip back through one of my collections of scifi. There was a dark little story that inverted the whole notion during a discussion between characters--basically, the premise was that equal access to ease and comfort was indeed possible, but simply unsatisfactory to those pulling the levers. Anyway, I put it poorly. I still think Banks, for his skill, sidesteps it by making his Minds peculiarly benevolent, for the most part.

I'm sorry, I thought you also said this :
Anyway, the other major objection holds that the sheer complexity of our material society requires a hierarchical, rule-bound, command-based social organization lest the factories decay, the fields wane fallow, the possibility of booking a transatlantic flight on Kayak for the following day be extinguished in an orgy of wanton travel agency. And while it may indeed be true that certain apparently pleasant aspects of modernity would be less readily available in a world that did not require them . . . well, a better world would not require them.
My point being that there are a number of things which would be more difficult to obtain in a world lacking certain systems which are not quite at the level of frivolity of transatlantic journeys on a whim.
We get a lot out of Victorian-standard plumbing in this society, it's true, and there is a lot of authority and hierarchy in the US medical system which can be safely disposed of, but the Victorians were not known for their lack of authoritarianism, and cheaper more rudimentary healthcare systems still use Big Pharma(TM). The evil corporations may cause face cancer for all, as they are wont to do, but this does not change some simple facts about the fragility of this mere flesh and the number of wee bairns prone to split their mammies open when they come tearing out of the womb, only to themselves succumb to some bacterial culture and get buried before they're a year old, height of genetic bad manners though that behaviour is. Some of this "living" shit is just dangerous, and some of this technology makes it less dangerous.
Burn it all down, fair shizzle, because it is all corrupt and perhaps the tradeoff of a bit more honest death at the hands of simple viruses is worth the removal of dishonest death at the hands of cruise missiles. But let us not make the decision too easy on ourselves by pretending that all technology is equivalent, and that our consumption of the rich would eradicate flights and kindles but leave behind a comprehensive system of vaccination. - 6:50 PM

So you're saying I should adopt a more . . . Fabian nihilism?

"Victorian-standard" meets "Fabian nihilism"? Yes, it's time to invoke the pre-scifi solution to the scarcity problem: Bellamy's "Looking Backward". He had it right all along.

"What necessity of human life and happiness is actually as opposed to artificially scarce?"
I'd probably start with fresh water here, followed closely by the area of arable (or foragable) land. Considering how damn many people we have, the oil we dig up to produce our food comes up as rather important too, even if you don't give a shit about maintaining the killing machine that supports our medical and entertainment infrastructure.
"history, like music, often recapitulates its major themes, but you will forgive me for doubting that the entire human cosmos is stuck on the spin cycle"
I find that surprisingly optimistic of you. I look at, say, the last 250 years and find myself impressed that radically different people's ideologies, some of which didn't even try to imitate Rome, pretty much amounted in the end to authoritarianism with different brand names. I look at a couple millennia of subversion of religions of peace, and come away similarly impressed. Hell, Jack at least threw a counterexample at me.
I take home the lesson that the content of an ideology pretty well does fuck-all to guide social behavior. But sure, post-industrial anarchy (ma'am, if you can keep it) never got going long enough to corrupt itself, and maybe this time it'd totally be different. Good luck with that.
But I agree with you in the end (as usual). I just don't know what anarchy really has to do with it, other than to supply another optimistic alternative. I do believe our whole amassed history influences us a little ("path-dependent," I like that). And that different things are possible or likely at different scales, and, well, different levels of scarcity. Given that this current gigantic crapfest is in fact resource-limited, I also expect major shrinkage in the future, if it is not already happening, rather than reaching a sci fi utopia. At which point human values will surely change to accomodate the situation, and maybe in ways you don't expect either. - 10:22 AM

For what is scarcity, and what are the costs of production? What necessity of human life and happiness is actually as opposed to artificially scarce?
Er - land, water, air, energy, and all material goods? - 6:27 AM
- Montag said...
ajay & Keifus,
but would these things be scarce if people held to an ethic of "take only what you need," and capital weren't governed by the profit motive, or if there somehow *was* money in feeding poor people? could universal subsistence be provided for? (i've heard things said like: "we have about 6.7 billion people on the earth, and we produce food for 11.5 billion people. There's no shortage. It's only that one part of the world is eating more, and one part of the world is starving.")
of course you'd also do well to ensure that the technologies relied upon to produce and distribute this supply of food didn't also poison the water or the air.
gluttony, and/or hedging in the face of uncertainty may well be part of human nature, though, so maybe it isn't right to call the phenomenon *artificial* scarcity. kinda too bad that economics as we know it, (which is FAKE anyway,) won't (can't?) assign more value to human life/not poisoning the ecosystem as opposed to counting profits solely in terms of currency. - 7:37 AM
- Keifus said...
Of course we do that (in large part) with fossil water and by the miracle of the Haber process. Whether we can feed eleven billion people for another fifty years (my kids will care about this, and maybe even I will) is an important question that probably has a well-thought-out answer somewhere.
(I've read a little about it, but never delved quite deep enough to get a feeling for how much analysis the various estimates of peak population really include.)
I think that new resource pressures may well steer human nature to a different place--maybe that's all that ever matters--but (don't tell IOZ), I think anarchism is really a critique of the present too. - 9:35 AM

Short and to the point: this primer did nothing for me. Literally nothing. It didn't have any negative effects, but no positive ones, either. So.....I guess, try at your own discretion? But it's a good amount of money to spend on something that acts like water.

I recieved a sample of this and haven't looked for another primer since. The best way I can describe this is as a rich, creamy illuminator. It is pearlescent with a light tan pigment to it. It filled in my pores and left my skin radiant and dewy. I applied some liquid foundation and powder on top and my face was flawless. I even use it alone on my cheeks as a highlighter. The only thing I don't like is the price ($30) and the fact that this brand seems to never go on sale at Target.

Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer works exactly like Laura Mercier's Radiance Foundation Primer, and is somewhat even better in my opinion.
Just like LM's Radiance, Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer isn't the kind of primer that's intended to make makeup last for longer, because it doesn't. This primer is specifically designed to brighten your complexion, and OH MY - it will not disappoint!
Pixi Beauty Primer gives a lovely, radiant, healthy glow to the face that looks incredibly natural. I agree it evens skintone very well and even minimises any dark areas I have on the face. It's an excellent base for foundation as well.
And best thing about it, I don't break out at all with the Beauty Primer unlike Laura Mercier's Radiance - so even more of a winner. Would buy again!

I have bought this product on two separate occasions, hoping to make it work for me, and have finally given up! I saw videos and reviews raving about it and loving the glow it gives the skin. Because it has a peachy coloration, I felt it helped even out my skin tone a little before applying my foundation, but after several attempts I have accepted that I always get the same result: greasy, oily skin within an hour. Not to mention that because of the coloration of the product, if you fail to completely smooth it out and apply it evenly, you can have some dark patches. I would definitely not intend to use this as a primer. I never felt it prolonged the wear of my makeup, but rather shortened it due to the oiliness it caused. I can't even use this as a highlighter since it is seriously that greasy and heavy on my skin. Not to mention how expensive it is. May as well get something better with your money. Perhaps on girls with really dry skin this would be more effective, but it's not for me!

I got a sample of this in the Target beauty bag and it is alright. For me the price point on this is way too high for the product this is. This I would describe as more of a highlighter instead of a primer. I found if I overdid this it would make me look funny. When I used a little under my foundation as I would a primer it left me glowy. So kind of a nice if you have it, if you do not then you are not really missing much.

I received a sample of this product in my recent Target beauty bag. When used in moderation it does lend a very nice peachy glow to the skin, but can look a little too orangey on my fair skin tone. It is moisturizing and doesn't break out my combo skin. For the price I would not purchase. It might irritate my skin a bit, didn't keep it on long enough to find out.

This is a nice product, but not a must-have in my opinion. I'm currently using a sample from the most recent Target beauty bag. I don't think of this as a primer as much as a luminizer, because it's a peachy liquid with a pearly finish. Thankfully that peachy tone doesn't translate onto the skin (or maybe my foundation neutralizes it?) When used with a foundation that tends to make my skin look cakey, the overall effect is a more natural looking foundation. This was fun to try but I probably won't buy the full size when I run out.

I got the sample in my Target Beauty Bag and was excited to try it because i've been eyeing the Pixi makeup line for a while. The price for this is pretty high so are the other items in the line but probably for good reason. I was hesitant to try this at first because i've heard elsewhere that it makes your skin oily and has no effect. I put this on before my makeup and wow. I noticed the slight sparkle it adds to your face making it look like you're glowing. It blended easily on my face making it soft and even hide some of my blemishes. Adding concealer only made it look more flawless. I've never felt my skin like this after adding makeup since my skin tends to be dry and oily. Everyone is different so it might not work for some. All in all this product is worth the price if you have money to spare.

I got a 1ml sample of Pixi's Flawless Beauty Primer in my Target Fall Beauty bag, the only makeup sample in the bunch. Pixi is a brand that appeals to me but I'd never previously tried because of their prices, which rival that of high end brands. I had really high hopes for this brightening primer, I've never tried a face primer I didn't like to be honest. Well, at least before I tried this one. Pixi's Flawless Beauty Primer is supposed to be the "ultimate primer to neutralize and smooth uneven skin tone leaving a luxurious lustre finish - like your skin 10 years ago!". But Pixi, I do not want to look 10. Anyways, jokes aside, this primer contains lots of beneficial ingredients like Vitamins A,C, and E, Truffle Extracts rich in amino acids and minerals, and pearl extract as well. No wonder this primer costs $29.
The full size packaging is beautiful, it looks very luxurious. Even the sample was cute. I was so excited to dive right into this product..but I was so shocked when I did. This primer was very thin and had a strong peachy tone to it. The scent of this primer is as peachy as it's tone, which is pleasant. When first applied to the skin it felt very nice, like a thin moisturizer, but as I worked it in my skin began to feel tight and uncomfortable. I was really not impressed by what I saw after I completed application. Pixi's Flawless Beauty Primer have my skin a very warm, almost yellowy tint and had a very heavy gold sheen to it. My face was shiny and glittery and honestly, I looked kinda ill. I applied Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream over it, hoping that only a slight luminosity would show through. My hopes were dashed, I looked doubly greasy and all the gold, pearlescent sheen still showed through. This primer also gave my skin a sticky, tacky feeling to it. There was enough in the packet for a second use, but honestly I don't know if I want to use this product again. I might use it as a highlighter, it's very similar in tone to Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl.
I'm really sad to say that I didn't enjoy this product, I was so excited to try it out. Has anyone else who used this product had a similar experience? Or maybe I'm just too pale to reap the benefits.

In a previous post, I talked about the phenomenon of recognizing next stages of tech evolution and feeling impatient for them. OK, I'll be looking back on DVDs in the not too distant future, thinking "remember when…?"
Here's the first discussion I've seen about this applied to the telephone number. Really, I can anticipate a time when they'll seem as nostalgically quaint as running down to the Blockbuster to rent a VHS tape. How long will that be?

Meet the players for the 24th installment of the Amazing Race. watch
Mark and Mallory continue to struggle with communication and one major mistake jeopardizes their chances to keep racing. (TV-PG L) watch
THE AMAZING RACE is a seven-time Emmy Award-winning adventure reality series hosted by Emmy-nominated host, Phil Keoghan, which pits teams, of two, against each other on a trek around the world. At every destination, each team will have to compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location. Teams who are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.
This season, which marks the 24th race around the world for the series, brings back eleven former teams for an All-Star themed edition and another sprint around the globe.
This season will bring back the Double Express Pass twist that was introduced last season. As Teams travel through four continents and nine countries, spanning more than 35,000 miles, they will paraglide high above the skies of Iquique, Chile, subject themselves to a bone-chilling plunge in Norway and buckle up for Formula One Racing in Abu Dhabi.

Selected courses from the university's Breadth requirements that have high enrollments and high rates of poor performance or failure have SIs. In addition, upper division, major courses that are traditionally "bottlenecks" (courses with which students tend to have a high rate of difficulty) often have SIs.
SI sessions are generally held two or three times per week throughout the quarter. Many SI leaders also hold extra sessions before exams. Student attendance at all sessions is voluntary. The SI leader's primary purpose is to connect course content with study skills. In SI, students connect what-to-learn with how-to-learn.
SI helps students learn how to study. In each session, the leader demonstrates a new study skill or reinforces a familiar one. Students use their study skills on relevant course content. Participants also learn to apply new skills during the session.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Grocery Store Marks Progress in ParkersburgBy Mark Geary, Reporter
PARKERSBURG - This Memorial day takes on extra meaning for the people of Parkersburg, New Hartford, and Dunkerton who survived an EF-5 tornado.
It was a year ago Monday the tornado hit, forever changing the landscape and the people in the storm's path. The storm killed seven people in Parkersburg and two more in New Hartford. A few days ago, the Brothers Market grocery store opened in Parkersburg. It might not sound like a big deal, but it's one of the final major pieces of the community to come back after last year's tornado. Many people consider grocery shopping a chore. In Parkersburg, it's a privilege. "It's just great. You walk into the store and everybody is smiling. They're happy. It's just nice knowing you don't have to go anywhere," said Mavis Wicks of Parkersburg. Before this place opened, people had to drive 15 or 20 miles to buy fresh fruit, veggies and meat. "It just costs you a lot of gas going back and forth," Parkersburg resident Chad Christie said. A nearby gas station eventually started to stock eggs and milk, but locals say it was nothing compared to a grocery store. "The prices are the same as Cedar Falls and Waterloo, but you don't have to drive as far anymore. We live a couple blocks away, so it works out good," Christie said. As other cities struck by natural disasters last year continue to struggle, the return of Parkersburg's grocery store reminds everyone about how far this community has come. "It's been really great to see the town get one more piece of normalcy back." It's a simple chore, a return to the routine and a symbol of the city's strength. The owner of the original grocery store destroyed by the tornado decided not to rebuild. Then, NFL Player and Parkersburg native Jared DeVries decided to help build a new store with the help of his two brothers. They say it was their way to give back to the community that gave them so much. E-mail Mark Geary at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him on Twitter. Most Popular |

Feb. 9, 2012 —
A Carter County man is suing the Grayson Police Department, its chief and several of its current and former officers in federal court, alleging he was beaten when officers came to serve a search warrant at his home in July of 2010.
Glenn Jackson Jr. claims in his complaint that he suffered permanent damage to his health as a result of the officers' actions, which he claims violated civil rights guaranteed him under the U.S. and Kentucky constitutions. He's seeking unspecified compensatory punitive damages.
Jackson also alleges that after he was beaten, the defendants "engaged in a conspiracy to make it appear that (he) was being charged with receiving stolen property, when no stolen property was recovered from (his) home even after the GPD officers conducted the search."
According to court records, Jackson's case was bound over to the Grand Jury, but no action has been taken.
Jackson filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Ashland in July of last year. He did so pro se, meaning without an attorney. However, the case lay dormant for several months. The 120-day window for Jackson to have the defendants served expired in December, but Senior Judge Henry R. Wilhoit Jr. granted Jackson an extension, according to court records. The defendants were served in January and their responses were filed last week.
Defendants in the suit are the police department, its chief, Ed Ginter, Detective Sgt. Travis Steele, Sgt. Tony Cantrell, Officer Chris Yavorcik, former Officer Casey Brammell, now Carter County sheriff; the city and its mayor, George Steele.
In the suit, Jackson claims GPD officers came to his home during the late-evening hours of July, 10, 2010, to serve a search warrant. The officers were looking for stolen items Jackson had allegedly received, the complaint states.
While the officers were executing the warrant, Jackson alleges one of them, Travis Steele, attacked him and caused him to take several blows to the right ear. Jackson claims the beating left the ear bruised and bleeding and that he also suffered a broken rib, acute kidney failure and had to have surgery on his penis.
"Plaintiff has reason to believe that it was the intention of Travis Steele to injure the plaintiff, which is in violation and contravention of his training as a GPD officer, as it has never been the training of any competent police officer to attack a person when executing a search warrant," the suit states.
Jackson claims one of the lasting health effects he has suffered as a result of the beating has been "unlocalized tinnitus," or ringing in the ears. He also alleges he is still under a doctor's care for his injuries.
In separate replies, the officers and George Steele deny any wrongdoing. They also cite numerous defenses, including "absolute, sovereign, qualified and/or official immunities" available to them under the Kentucky Claims Against Local Government Act.
The defendants also maintain Jackson's claims are barred by the statute of limitations, and that the damages claimed by the plaintiff "are the result of the plaintiff's own negligence."
The officers are represented in the suit by attorney Michael Fox of Olive Hill, while George Steele is represented by Grayson City Attorney Reid Glass.

Hi, I just bought my Term P9 yesterday and was told by dealer to register online. The online registration doesn't work.

The site does not have a guide for the registration process. How can I get my bike registered?

Last night the BBC aired Watchdog, which this week focused on the ailing state of customer service among big businesses (and no doubt some smaller ones).
Almost three quarters of people said customer service is getting worse, according to a survey of more than 7,000 consumers. The worst offenders tend to be broadband / mobile operators, and utilities companies, though web companies aren't immune either.
It doesn't come as any shock to me, but surely good levels of service and a focus on the customer experience are key to surviving a difficult market?

While online shopping is safe for the vast majority of customers, there are still some people who are so concerned about fraud that they are reluctant to enter their card details on an e-commerce site.
According to a Get Safe Online survey (pdf) from last year, 14% of people in the UK are deterred from using the internet due to fear of online crime, so what can e-tailers do to combat such concerns?

We've written about the potential of using social media for customer service, or at least monitoring and responding to customers' comments and complaints, and here is a great example of how valuable this can be.
Naked Wines, which launched last December, was very quick to get involved in social media; it has a Twitter account as well as a Facebook group, and this example shows the value of monitoring and responding to customers' concerns where they are talking about you.

Dell is one of the most prominent brands leveraging the popular microblogging service to interact with customers and potential customers and has a whole portfolio of Twitter accounts that are managed by real Dell employees who have names and personalities.
According to Dell, its use of Twitter has led to more than $1m in revenue. While that's a miniscule amount for a company that does billions in revenue every year, Dell has embraced social media like few other companies and deserves a lot of credit for making a real effort.

Funseekers vs. Funsuckers
Oprah.com | July 21, 2010
The world can pretty much be divided up into two groups of people: funseekers and funsuckers. For the purposes of this discussion, we can set the bar fairly low on "fun." Fun does not have to involve hilarity and hijinks. We''re not talking class clown candidates here. Funseeking is simply making the best of any situation. Whether it's a family dinner or an endless business meeting or traffic on a holiday weekend, funseekers try to find the humor in the mundane. Funseekers rise to the occasion, even if it isn't much of an occasion!
Funsuckers, on the other hand, are not only the "glass half-empty" crowd. They are folks whose lives depend on bringing us all down with them. If funsuckers would only suffer in silence when the plane is delayed or the steak is overcooked, then the rest of us in the "glass half-full " camp could go on with our lives. But funsuckers feel it is their duty to share the hair in their salad with the rest of table, causing us all to lose our appetites. Funsuckers take themselves—and their issue of the moment—very seriously.
Funseeking is a choice, and not the easy-breezy, superficial choice you might think. It takes creativity and imagination to see the potential for humor in a First Date After Divorce Disaster. There's nothing inherently fun about a houseful of sick kids or a volunteer commitment that has taken over your life, but funseekers endeavor to find the lightness amidst the dark. And when they do, they lighten up the entire situation for everyone else. Nobody is more welcome walking through the door than a funseeker.
So if you are off to a family get-together, girls' night out, high school reunion or just a tedious neighborhood watch meeting, aim to be a funseeker.
Here are some rules to keep in mind when deciding between funseekers vs. funsuckers:
Funsuckers never have an opinion until it's too late.
Funseekers take charge or take direction.
Funsuckers edit your emails and send them back.
Funseekers congratulate on a great idea.
Funsuckers eschew a "popcorn thriller."
Funseekers order the large tub.
Funsuckers complain about doing the cleanup after the fundraiser.
Funseekers spring for pizza for the crew.
Funsuckers drag you through the preparatory stages.
Funseekers arrive ready.
Funsuckers think the concept of "adults only" is for other people's children.
Funseekers think the concept of "adults only" is a great excuse for a babysitter.
Funsuckers fight in public.
Funseekers save it for the ride home.
Funsuckers start with an excuse.
Funseekers start with a grande latte.
Funsuckers itemize the dinner check.
Funseekers throw in an extra twenty.
Funsuckers worry about the parking.
Funseekers offer to drive.
Funsuckers think the event is about them.
Funseekers know the event is about the event.
Funsuckers give you the gruesome details of their GI series.
Funseekers recognize the comedic value of the words "barium enema."
Funsuckers won't dance.
Funseekers are the first on the floor.
Funsuckers arrive late.
Funseekers stay late.
Funsuckers count calories.
Funseekers count cannolis.
So which are you? A funseeker or a funsucker? Be a funseeker and watch the welcome mat roll out for you.
Are you a downer? How to get the support you need

CEMS - The Global Alliance in Management Education or CEMS (formerly the Community of European Management Schools and International Companies) is a cooperation of the world's leading business schools and universities with multinational companies and NGOs. Currently CEMS comprises 29 academic institutions from Europe, North & South America, Asia and Australia, over 60 corporate partners and 4 social partners from around the globe. CEMS administers delivery of the CEMS MIM degree in its member schools, supports the CEMS Alumni Association (CAA) and facilitates general cooperation among its members.
CEMS has participated in the Financial Times Master's in Management ranking since its creation in 2005. The CEMS MIM has permanently featured in the top 10, including n°1 in the world ranking in 2009, top place in the 2010-12 3-year ranking and the strongest combined international results over the entire period 2005-12.
CEMS MIM[edit]
CEMS Master's in International Management (CEMS MIM) is a one-year degree programme taught jointly by CEMS business schools and universities available to a select group of students at the member institutions. Consistently high rankings in the Financial Times (including 1st in the world in 2009) have enhanced the status of CEMS MIM as the first supra-national M.Sc. The aim of CEMS is to set a global standard of excellence for pre-experience Master's programmes in Management, providing education and research for students who aspire to play a leading role in the development and direction of enterprises in a global context.
These individuals will be outstanding in their:
- high academic standards and professional skills
- ability to perform effectively in a fast changing environment
- empathy with different cultures, values and behaviours
- willingness to take responsibility within society
CEMS MIM consists of a base semester (usually part of the standard degree at the home university) followed by a second semester spent abroad in a fellow CEMS member school. In addition to completing one's home degree graduation from CEMS also requires successful completion of a business project, skill seminars, an international internship, and 2 foreign language exams. While CEMS MIM is a high-quality academic degree, its uniqueness lies in its additional focus on practical business skills, language proficiency and early international experience.
Every CEMS academic member has a limited amount of places available for CEMS MIM students. Therefore the selection procedure is tough. In most cases business schools and universities have pre-requirements to be accepted in the selection procedure. Examples include a high grade average and proof of language skills.
The organisation of the CEMS degree differs slightly among the academic members, but mostly it is a requirement to already be enrolled or selected for a Master of Business degree with a member university prior to applying for CEMS MIM. CEMS MIM is therefore often referred to as a "dual-degree", since all of the CEMS graduates receive both a degree from their home institution as well as from CEMS.
CEMS Alumni Association (CAA)[edit]
The CEMS Alumni Association (CAA) enables the multicultural experience of CEMS graduates to be continued and developed. Founded in 1993 by CEMS graduates, the Association is an international network throughout the world of CEMS graduates. To date close to 9,000 CEMS students have graduated and gone on to become CEMS alumni.
The CAA is led by an Alumni Board and is present in many countries through Local Committees made up of CEMS alumni. The local committees are responsible for keeping in contact with CEMS alumni and organising professional and social activities. They meet on a regular basis to discuss the activities and development of the Association. The Alumni Board comprises: the CAA President, the CEMS Executive Director, a representative of the CEMS Student Board, a representative of CEMS member schools, 3 Local Committee representatives, 2 senior alumni and 2 junior alumni.
The Alumni Board's mission is to foster the CEMS alumni community by proposing and developing initiatives that reflect CAA objectives and foster career and personal development opportunities of its Alumni members. The Alumni Board also represents alumni interests on the CEMS Executive Board and supports development of the CEMS alliance. In addition, the CEMS Alumni Association supports Alumni to positively influence management education, business, global governance and society.
CEMS Academic Members[edit]
Schools offering the CEMS MIM:[1]
CEMS Corporate Partners[edit]
CEMS currently totals 60+ corporate partners which contribute financially on an annual basis and provide the programme with human resources and input into the curriculum itself. This means that they chart skills courses, give lectures or invite CEMS students to company activities where students learn about certain corporate practices or solve cases. These connections are very useful to promote the company to the students, while the students gain insight into real-world problems and solution approaches.
List of partners:[2]
CEMS Social Partners[edit]
The first ever CEMS Social Partners joined the organisation in December 2010. These are the first in a series of non-profits and NGOs that contribute to the alliance in a way identical to Corporate Partners (selection and admission of students, governance, curriculum delivery, proposal of internships and employment opportunities). This new initiative is part of a major sustainability drive from within CEMS. In the same vein, CEMS has also signed the PRME (Principles of Responsible Management Education) declaration.

88 S-10 wheel size
I want to put 15 in wheels on my 2wd s-10, it has standard 14 in 5 bolt .Would a 15 x7 rim work ? or would it rub against the tierod ?
08-19-2011, 07:06 PM #215x7's Will fit without rubbing. I've got 15x8's on my 87 with no rubbing at all. Even try looking for some Camaro or Firebird rims from the 70's up to the early 90's. They will bolt right on. Now, the size of tires is another question. I'm running 225/60/15's with room for slightly larger tires.

Ok, a buddy just gave me a SLEW of MP3s of these guys. I've started with Searchin' For A Rainbow and am LOVING what I hear!
Anyone else have love for these guys?
Ok, a buddy just gave me a SLEW of MP3s of these guys. I've started with Searchin' For A Rainbow and am LOVING what I hear!
Anyone else have love for these guys?
Yeah, I like 'em. I used to have 5 or 6 of their LPs (original pressings on vinyl, including Searchin' For A Rainbow), which I picked up second hand in the early '90s. I thought a lot of their albums were a bit hit or miss to be honest. My favourite was always A New Life from 1974 and today, that's the only album I still have in my collection.
Are you familiar with The Allman Brothers Band? They were contemporaries and label mates with the MTB and their first six albums (1969-1975) are well worth checking out. The Brothers And Sisters album is probably a good first introduction to the band, although as I say, any of their first 6 albums (including the At Fillmore East live album) are worth checking out. The Allmans pre-date the MTB by a few years and for me, they were doing much the same thing but doing it better.
Astro City Kick-Ass 3 Star Wars: Dark Times Superior Spider-Man
There is also Sea Change who where a little more Jazz influenced than blues influenced but i think shared some members from the Allman's.
Astro City Kick-Ass 3 Star Wars: Dark Times Superior Spider-Man
I had the opportunity to see these guys a couple of years ago, and even though the only remaining member is vocalist Doug Grey, they were fantastic.Doug Grey as a singer is one of the treasures of rock in any style. I often wish the market would support him as a solo act,but MTB in all it's versions has kept his and MTB's flame alive with some of the finest musicians stepping up to contribute new material every so often. MTB continues to record new material,and to the best of my knowledge has never stopped touring or making records.I'd love to see Doug in a singer/songwriters format with Roger McGuinn (Byrds),Jesse Colin Young ( Youngbloods),Crosby and Nash ( Byrds/Holllies/ C+N/ Crosby,Stills,Nash,and Young),Tracy Nelson (Mother Earth/Tracy Nelson)and you name it.Of every thing I've heard by MTB I think the Holy Grail recording is their Long Island performance which is listed as the last performance with all original members especially both Toy and Tommy Caldwell, because a month or so later, Tommy (bassist) was killed in a motorcycle accident.Yes like the Allmans MTB had a huge following in the Big Apple at the time.Before his own unfortunate passing, guitarist Toy Caldwell had left MTB to start the Toy Caldwell Band and got out at least 1 record that I highly recommend as well. A little sadness has followed MTB over the yrs.but the spirit lives on.Glad you came across these guys.You owe your friend a HUGE debt.Sea Level led by keyboardist Chuck Levell and Jimmy Nalls, and a few other guys spun off from the Allman Bros.Band,and put out some great stuff as well.Unfortunately other than a greatest hits it has been hard to find some of their other records.I don't know if Chuck ever bothered to retain the rights to release everything himself or not,and I don't know if he has ever rebooted the band.I believe the label was A+M which has a horrible track record of keeping anything in print,but in this day of mp3 it might be easier to find this stuff.
Amazon seems to have plenty of their stuff but some of it is quite expensive.
Sea level that is.
That is a problem with how some Amazon vendors look at harder to find music that has fallen off the radar; jack up the price.My suggestion is to e-mail Chuck Leavell at his website directly,and ask what's up with availability of his recordings.The real problem with this is that many musicians have not bothered to retain the rights and put out fresh editions.What with all the remastering and bonus track stuff going on with a million other bands you would think this would happen with everybody's music.Hopefully,Sealevel didn't sign away everything in some Draconian Devil's Deal like Creedence Clearwater Revival.By the same to token (musically that is) also check out anything you can find by Neil Larsen and Buzzy Feiten as well as their occasional band, Full Moon.very tasty jazz inflected rock,but not what I would call fusion.Mostly instrumental, but an occasional good vocal as well.Two of the best at keyboards,(Larsen)and guitar(Feiten) interplay in a very melodic sense.I believe Feiten released a new Full Moon on his own a few years ago but I haven't heard it. Both of them have their own sites I believe.This got a little off topic from MTB, but one thing leads to another I guess.

Descended from a long line of shamans, Zoo Lou traveled far and wide to the Seven Strange Strongholds – ancient, mysterious sites of great wonder in Skylands – where he studied the wisdom and fighting styles of the Seven Strange Mages. After many years of traveling and studying, Zoo Lou returned to find an army of trolls had invaded his sacred homeland to mine its natural magic resources. Zoo Lou's warrior heart burned with fury. And having now mastered the enchanted art of communicating with nature and summoning animals, he unleashed his great mojo – attacking the trolls and single handedly freeing his lands once again. It was this heroic feat that caught the eye of Double Trouble, who then brought Zoo Lou to Master Eon and the Skylanders.
Swap Force Rip Tide.
Countdown was discovered by a group of Yetis who were snowboarding one particularly chilly morning when they came across a big bomb encased in ice. After bringing it back to their cabin, they were shocked when it actually came to life. No one, not even Countdown himself, has any memory of where he came from or how he ended up frozen in the mountains. Since becoming a Skylander, Master Eon has been graciously trying to help piece together fragments of his past. But this has proven difficult, as Countdown loses some of his memory every time he explodes – which happens a lot. In the meantime, Countdown has enjoyed working with Eon and fighting alongside the Skylanders to defend their world against evil – even though he occasionally forgets what he is doing.
