"The clash of the positivists with praxeology resulted from their theory of meaning.[20] Briefly put, they held that deduction cannot give us any knowledge about the empirical world. All necessary truths are analytic; they are tautologies that are empirically meaningless. Since praxeology proceeds by deduction from a necessarily true axiom, the threat posed by positivism is apparent. Economics is supposed to apply to the world: it is not "an unearthly ghostdance of bloodless categories." If the method it uses must fail of its purpose, Misesian economics is ruined.
Mises's most important argument against the positivists was a simple one. They purport to banish metaphysics and follow science, but their own position is metaphysical. "[T]he epistemology of positivism is itself based on a definite brand of metaphysics."[21] If positivists accurately took note of praxeology, they would be forced to abandon their views.
Praxeology is a deductive discipline that, contrary to positivist dogma, does give us knowledge of the real world. To declare illegitimate an existing science because it violates a philosophical doctrine is itself illegitimate: Metaphysics cannot overturn science.
The force of Mises's point is twofold. First, he himself agrees with the positivists that philosophy is subordinate to science. When he claims that a philosophic doctrine cannot overturn a conclusion of science, he speaks on his own behalf. But, more fundamentally, his argument works against the positivists even if one disagrees with Mises's view about the relation of science to philosophy. The positivists do agree with him here: his argument is thus an effective ad hominem retort against them. They, the opponents of metaphysics, are themselves engaged in metaphysics if they reject praxeology.[22]"
Mises uses the same response to Karl Popper's falsifiability criterion. Popper, unlike the positivists, did not take all metaphysical statements to be meaningless. He instead adopted the more limited position that all scientific statements must be capable of being proved false. The theorems of praxeology, insofar as they are deductively derived from a self-evident axiom, fail this test: nothing can falsify them.
— David Gordon, The Philosophical Contributions of Ludwig von Mises
Rothbard,[…] describes how, in his economic treatise Man, Economy, and State, he took care to revise precisely this Misesian doctrine:
"[Most important was a thorough revision of the very first eight pages of the work—the pages which state the original axioms upon which the entire work is based.] The revision purged the original formulation of its definite philosophical pessimism, of the idea that human beings are constantly in a state of dissatisfaction and that man could only be happy in a state of inactive rest, such as in Paradise. Such a philosophical view is contrary to the nature state of man, which is at its happiest precisely when it is engaged in productive activity. The revised part eliminates the philosophical pessimism from praxeology." (Correspondence quoted in Stromberg 2005, xl [Intro to MES])
Accordingly, Rothbard [citation] acknowledges the possibility of "satisfaction in the labor itself," and so grounds the "disutility of labor" not in labor's being inherently distasteful, but in the fact that "labor always involves the forgoing of leisure," which is also a value—though not pace Mises, the ultimate value. The fact that leisure has value for us explains why we prefer to economize on labor, thus allowing Rothbard to draw all the essential conclusions for which Mises thought he needed the mistaken Nirvana premise.
I have argued that the features of Misesian praxeology that Rand found most objectionable—its aprioristic methodology, its value-subjectivism, and its claims about motivational psychology—can be reinterpreted in ways that make them congenial to Rand's philosophical principles while still preserving the essential points that Mises was seeking to make. Hence there is no reason for those of a Randian philosophical bent to deprive themselves of the powerful methodological instrument developed by Mises and his fellow Austrians: praxeology, the a priori science of human action".
— Roderick T. Long, "Praxeology: Who Needs It", p12 was written for the Journal of Ayn Rand Studies but essentially attempts to clear the language up regarding the 'differences'. Anyway the part about Mises and "felt-uneasiness" condition is enlightening. If you're dealing with objectivist's who aren't fans of praxeology/Mises formulation this would be the text to refer to.

"Intellectual curiosity has a habit of breaking through, however, especially among college and graduate students. As a result, the Austrian School has flourished over the last two decades, despite severe institutional obstacles.
In fact, the number of Austrians has grown so large, and the discussion so broad, that differences of opinion and branches of thought have arisen, in some cases developing into genuine clashes of thought. Yet they have all been conflated and jammed together by non-Austrians and even by some within the school, giving rise to a great deal of intellectual confusion, lack of clarity, and outright error.
The good side of these developing disputes is that each side has clarified and sharpened its underlying premises and world-view. It has indeed become evident in recent years that there are three very different and clashing paradigms within Austrian economics: the original Misesian or praxeological paradigm, to which the present author adheres; the Hayekian paradigm, stressing "knowledge" and "discovery" rather than the praxeological "action" and "choice," and whose leading exponent now is Professor Israel Kirzner; and the nihilistic view of the late Ludwig Lachmann, an institutionalist antitheory approach taken from the English "subjectivist"-Keynesian G.L.S. Shackle."
- AEN: Since then, you have been the strongest defender of the Austrian method, praxeology, since Rothbard.
- HOPPE: Independently, I had concluded that economic laws were a priori and discoverable through deduction. Then I stumbled on Mises's Human Action. That was the first time I found someone who had the same view; not only that, he had already worked out the entire system. From that point on, I was a Misesian.
- Mises took the idea of synthetic a priori–the idea that there are true statements about reality, derived from axioms and logic, that do not need to be tested–from Immanuel Kant. But Mises added an extremely important insight; Kantian mental categories can be understood as ultimately grounded in categories of action. With this, Mises bridged the gulf in Kantianism that separates mental from physical; what we think from the outside, physical world.
- If you start with the concept of action, you immediately realize that action involves a subject and an object. Action means; I do something with something in order to reach certain goals. That implies a theory of casuality, which had been a sticking point in Kantianism and remains so in positivism. There were hints of this in Kant, but nothing as explicit as you find it in Mises.
"…When borrowing insights from multiple fields, it is important to work to keep the fields distinct in terms of methods, data, validity criteria, and applicability. Yet trying to keep fields distinct is not the same as avoiding relevant insights that could emerge from any one of them. Case in point, the above psychological research can help us remove extraneous implications from past attempts to formulate universalizable praxeological descriptions of the ultimate ends of action (leaving aside whether any such characterization at all is required for the purposes of praxeology).
The distinction between praxeology and psychology should be clearly maintained. One is logical and universal in method, while the other is empirical and interpretive. The particular action recommendations of a given ethical system are likewise yet another separate matter. Psychology says, "we observe, notice, and hypothesize." Praxeology says, "it is/must be so by definition." Ethics says, "one should act this way rather than that way."
In this context, it is helpful to turn to Long's clarification of the nature of "rationality" as used in praxeology, including which claims praxeology can legitimately make. When a praxeologist claims that all action is rational, it is a claim that actors employ means to the attainment of ends, by definition. However, an ethicist's or psychologist's definition of "rational" must specify some narrower distinctions or be meaningless for their purposes as non-praxeologists. Those wearing psychologist or philosopher hats might well be interested in whether people deceive themselves in their judgments or make poor judgments, but such distinctions must be left behind when donning the praxeologist's peculiar, and historically speaking brand-new, style of hat. Long writes:
In a sense, then, it is true that agents always act rationally; but the only sense of this claim to which Mises is [praxeologists are] entitled is that agents always act, not necessarily in a manner appropriate to their situation in all the ways they actually see it, or even in the most justified of the ways they actually see it, but rather in a manner appropriate to their situation in the way of actually seeing it that is constitutive of their action. (309–310).
This third praxeological formulation finally leaves no room for distinctions among various "rational" (as contrasted with "irrational") qualities of particular actions, as judged by any narrower ethical or psychological criterion. Instead, the meaning of "rationality" for praxeologists (to the extent it is useful at all in that role), is a universal-definitional one. As such, it is most likely of no use to psychologists or ethicists who would naturally require some narrower and more qualified definitions to work with.
This third formulation helps refine the dividing lines between psychological interpretation, ethical advice and judgment ("this is rational, that is not"), and universalizable statements about the nature of action as such. Only the third formulation is undeniable for all cases of action without any need for further inquiry into specifics of motivation, thought processes, or value scales. Only the third statement is/must be so in every case as a logical implication of what the concept of action itself means. The rest is up to the other fields…"
According to British historian Arnold Toynbee, "History is just one damned thing after another." But Peter Turchin of the University of Connecticut in Storrs questions this premise then tries to answer it in a new study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He and his colleagues show history may be deterministic to a certain extent. And their computer simulations show that warfare may have been the main driver behind the formation of empires, bureaucracies, and religions.
"Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river."
— Will Durant
Historians may be a bit leery about scientists making this sort of attempt, since history is driven by a complex set of events, some of them seemingly one-time only. But Turchin thinks otherwise. Through an approach he calls cliodynamics (named after Clio, the Greek muse of history), he wants to unravel the past by testing hypotheses against data.
"Far from being opposed to history, the praxeologist, and not the supposed admirers of history, has profound respect for the irreducible and unique facts of human history. Furthermore, it is the praxeologist who acknowledges that individual human beings cannot legitimately be treated by the social scientist as if they were not men who have minds and act upon their values and expectations, but stones or molecules whose course can be scientifically tracked in alleged constants or quantitative laws. Moreover, as the crowning irony, it is the praxeologist who is truly empirical because he recognizes the unique and heterogeneous nature of historical facts; it is the self-pro-claimed "empiricist" who grossly violates the facts of history by attempting to reduce them to quantitative laws."
— Murray N. Rothbard
Still, there is lots of potential value in building these models. The global database of historical events has many gaps.
No. There isn't… beyond funding / recognition for yourselves of course.
"Here it suffices to present just a few examples of what is meant by a priori theory - and in particular to cite some such examples from the realm of the social sciences - in order to put any possible suspicion to rest and recommend my theoretical approach as intuitively plausible and in accordance with common sense.
Examples of what I mean by a priori theory are:
No material thing can be at two places at once. No two objects can occupy the same place. A straight line is the shortest line between two points. No two straight lines can enclose a space. Whatever object is red all over cannot be green (blue, yellow, etc.) all over. Whatever object is colored is also extended. Whatever object has shape has also size. If A is a part of B and B is a part of C, then A is a part of C. 4 = 3 +1. 6 = 2 (33 - 30).
Implausibly, empiricists must denigrate such propositions as mere linguistic-syntactic conventions without any empirical content, i.e., "empty" tautologies. In contrast to this view and in accordance with common sense, I understand the same propositions as asserting some simple but fundamental truths about the structure of reality. And in accordance with common sense, too, I would regard someone who wanted to "test" these propositions, or who reported "facts" contradicting or deviating from them, as confused. A priori theory trumps and corrects experience (and logic overrules observation), and not vice-versa.
More importantly, examples of a priori theory also abound in the social sciences, in particular in the fields of political economy and philosophy:
Human action is an actor's purposeful pursuit of valued ends with scarce means. No one can purposefully not act. Every action is aimed at improving the actor's subjective well-being above what it otherwise would have been. A larger quantity of a good is valued more highly than a smaller quantity of the same good. Satisfaction earlier is preferred over satisfaction later. Production must proceed consumption. What is consumed now cannot be consumed again in the future. If the price of a good is lowered, either the same quantity or more will be bought than otherwise. Prices fixed below market clearing prices will lead to lasting shortages.
Without private property in factors of production there can be no factor prices, and without factor prices cost-accounting is impossible. Taxes are an imposition on producers and/or wealth owners and reduce production and/or wealth below what it otherwise would have been. Interpersonal conflict is possible only if and insofar as things are scarce. No thing or part of a thing can be owned exclusively by more than one person at a time.
Democracy (majority rule) is incompatible with private property (individual ownership and rule). No form of taxation can be uniform (equal), but every taxation involves the creation of two distinct and unequal classes of tax-payersvs. tax-receiver-consumers. Property and property titles are distinct entities, and an increase of the latter without a corresponding increase of the former does not raise social wealth but leads to a redistribution of existing wealth."
For an empiricist, propositions such as these must be interpreted as either stating nothing empirical at all and being mere speech conventions, or as forever testable and tentative hypotheses. To us, as to common sense, they are neither. In fact, it strikes us as utterly disingenuous to portray these propositions as having no empirical content. Clearly, they state something about "real" things and events! And it seems similarly disingenuous to regard these propositions as hypotheses.
Hypothetical propositions, as commonly understood, are statements such as these:
Children prefer McDonald's over Burger King. The world-wide ratio of beef to pork spending is 2:1. Germans prefer Spain over Greece as vacation destination. Longer education in public schools will lead to higher wages. The volume of shopping shortly before Christmas exceeds that shortly after Christmas. Catholics vote predominantly "Democratic." Japanese save a quarter of their disposable income. Germans drink more beer than Frenchmen. The United States produces more computers than any other country. Most inhabitants of the U.S. are white and of European descent.
Propositions such as these require the collection of historical data to be validated. And they must be continually re-evaluated, because the asserted relationships are not necessary (but "contingent") ones; that is, because there is nothing inherently impossible, inconceivable, or plain wrong in assuming the opposite of the above: e.g., that children prefer Burger King to McDonald's, or Germans Greece to Spain, etc.. This, however, is not the case with the former, theoretical propositions. To negate these propositions and assume, for instance, that a smaller quantity of a good might be preferred to a larger one of the same good, that what is being consumed now can possibly be consumed again in the future, or that cost-accounting could be accomplished also without factor prices, strikes one as absurd; and anyone engaged in "empirical research" and "testing" to determine which one of two contradictory propositions such as these does or does not hold appears to be either a fool or a fraud."
One of the ways I look at this now is that the factors we sort out and isolate conceptually for the purpose of thinking ultimately trace back to a single, integrated and complexly interactive reality. We have to do this sorting conceptually to have any hope of understanding what's going on within the overall flow of complexity.
At the same time, some of these paradoxical causality loops stem from the particular ways that we conceptualize causation in simplified (abstracted) strands. This is "action" (must act to "do" argumentation), this is "argumentation" (needed to say the first thing about action), etc. Yet such things are all emergently interdependent and their separability is partially an artifact of the way we analyze the parts.
It reminds me of the chicken and egg problem. Here the solution is evolutionary theory. Chickens and eggs co-evolved together over geologic time. Neither came first. But look at how easily people are fooled by the question. They think one should have had to come first or just walk away mystified and forget the topic. The concepts of action and argumentation cannot really come about without each other, even though we are able to (or even must) think about and understand them one by one.

"[W]hat is so great about unintended consequences, and why may no intended consequences be studied as well? And doesn't the accumulation of knowledge in society change consequences from unintended to intended?
Not only that: the Misesian discipline of praxeology explicitly states that individual men consciously pursue goals, and choose means to try to attain them. And if men pursue goals, surely it is only common sense to conclude that a good deal of the time they will attain them, in others words they will intend, and attain, the consequences of their actions. Mises's emphasis on conscious choice treats men and women as rational, conscious actors in the market and the world; the other tradition often falls into the trap of treating people as if they were robots or amoebae blindly responding to stimuli.
Arcane matters of methodology often have surprising political consequences. Perhaps, then, it is not an accident that those who believe in unintended and not intended consequences, will also tend to whitewash the growth of government in the 20th century. For if actions are largely always unintended, this means that government just grew like Topsy, and that no person or group ever willed the pernicious consequences of that growth. Stressing theFerguson-Hayek formula cloaks the self-interested actions of the power elite in seeking and obtaining special privileges from government, and thereby impelling its continuing growth.
There are two ways to advance the message of Austrian economics. One is to fearlessly hold high the banner of Misesian theory to which the wise and honest can repair—a banner which requires calling a spade a spade and pointing out the special interests all too consciously at work behind the government's glittering facade of the "public interest" and the "general welfare."
The other path is to seek acceptance and respectability by watering down the Misesian message beyond repair, and carefully avoiding anything remotely "controversial" in your offering. Even to the point of taking the "free" out of "free market." Such a path only entrenches big government."
"…It is not difficult to detect that both a priori axioms—of action and argumentation—are intimately related. On the one hand, actions are more fundamental than argumentations with whose existence the idea of validity emerges, as argumentation is only a subclass of action. On the other hand, to recognize what has just been recognized regarding action and argumentation and their relation to each other requires argumentation, and so, in this sense, argumentation must be considered more fundamental than action: without argumentation nothing could be said to be-known about action. But then, as it is in argumentation that the insight is revealed that—while it might not be known to be so prior to any argumentation—in fact the possibility of argumentation presupposes action in that validity claims can only be explicitly discussed in the course of an argumentation if the individuals doing so already know what it means to act and to have knowledge implied in action—both the meaning of action in general and argumentation in particular must be thought of as logically necessary interwoven strands of a priori knowledge.
What this insight into the interrelation between the a priori of action and the a priori of argumentation suggests is the following:
- Traditionally, the task of epistemology has been conceived of as that of formulating what can be known to be true a priori and also what can be known a priori not to be the subject of a priori knowledge. Recognizing, as we have just done, that knowledge claims are raised and decided upon in the course of argumentation and that this is undeniably so, one can now reconstruct the task of epistemology more precisely as that of formulating those propositions which are argumentatively indisputable in that their truth is already implied in the very fact of making one's argument and so cannot be denied argumentatively; and to delineate the range of such a priori knowledge from the realm of propositions whose validity cannot be established in this way but require additional, contingent in formation for their validation, or that cannot be validated at all and so are mere metaphysical statements in the pejorative sense of the term metaphysical.
Yet what is implied in the very fact of arguing? It is to this question that our insight into the inextricable interconnection between the a priori of argumentation and that of action provides an answer:
- On a very general level, it cannot be denied argumentatively that argumentation presupposes action and that arguments, and the knowledge embodied in them, are those of actors. And more specifically it cannot then be denied that knowledge itself is a category of action; that the structure of knowledge must be constrained by the peculiar function which knowledge fulfills with in the framework of action categories; and that the existence of such structural constraints can never be disproved by any knowledge whatsoever.
It is in this sense that the insights contained in praxeology must be regarded as providing the foundations of epistemology. Knowledge is a category quite distinct from those that I have explained earlier—from ends and means. The ends which we strive to attain through our actions, and the means which we employ in order to do so, are both scarce values. The values attached to our goals are subject to consumption and are exterminated and destroyed in consumption and thus must forever be produced a new. And the means employed must be economized, too. Not so, however, with respect to knowledge—regardless of whether one considers it a means or an end in itself. Of course, the acquisition of knowledge requires scarce means—at least one's body and time. Yet once knowledge is acquired, it is no longer scarce. It can neither be consumed, no rare the services that it can render as a means subject to depletion. Once there, it is an inexhaustible resource and incorporates an everlasting value provided that it is not simply forgotten. Yet knowledge is not a free good in the same sense that air, under normal circumstances, is a free good. Instead, it is a category of action.
It is not only a mental ingredient of each and every action, quite unlike air, but more importantly; knowledge, and not air, is subject to validation, which is to say that it must prove to fulfill a positive function for an actor within the invariant constraints of the categorical framework of actions. It is the task of epistemology to clarify what these constraints are and what one can thus know about the structure of knowledge as such.
While such recognition of the praxeological constraints on the structure of knowledge might not immediately strike one as in itself of great significance, it does have some highly important implications."
"In fact, the reason why the social and economic future cannot be regarded as entirely and absolutely uncertain should not be too hard to understand: The impossibility of causal predictions in the field of action was proven by means of an a priori argument. And this argument incorporated a priori true knowledge about actions as such: that they cannot be conceived of as governed by time-invariantly operating causes.
Thus, while economic forecasting will indeed always be a systematically unteachable art, it is at the same time true that all economic forecasts must be thought of as being constrained by the existence of a priori knowledge about actions as such. [37] Take, for example, the quantity theory of money the praxeological proposition that if you in crease the quantity of money and the demand for money stays constant, then the purchasing power of money will fall.
Our a priori knowledge about actions as such informs us that it is impossible to predict scientifically whether or not the quantity of money will be increased, decreased or left unchanged. Nor is it possible to predict scientifically whether or not, regardless of what happens to the quantity of money, the demand for money to be held in cash balances will go up or down or stay the same. We cannot claim to be able to predict such things because we cannot predict future states of knowledge of people. And yet these states evidently influence what happens with respect to the quantity of money and the demand for money. Then, our theory, our praxeological knowledge incorporated in the quantity theory, has a rather limited usefulness for one's business of predicting the economic future."
- [37] The former Austrian and neo-historicist-hermeneutician-nihilist Ludwig Lachmann, who repeats ad nauseam the unpredictability of future states of knowledge (see his "From Mises to Shackle: An Essay on Austrian Economics and the Kaleidic Society," Journal of Economic Literature 54 (1976); The Market as an Economic Process (New York: Basil Blackwell, 1986), entirely misses recognizing this latter point. In fact, his arguments are simply self-defeating. For evidently he claims to know for certain the unknowability of future knowledge and, by logical extension, of actions. Yet then he does know something about future knowledge and action. He must know something about knowledge and action as such. And this, precisely, is what praxeology claims to be: knowledge regarding actions as such, and (as I have explained in my "On Praxeology and the Praxeological Foundations of Epistemology and Ethics," p.49 below) knowledge about the structure which any future knowledge must have by virtue of the fact that it invariably must be knowledge of actors.
— Hans-Hermann Hoppe
(Source: mises.org)
not, as the mentioned critics seem to think, a proof that means to
show the impossibility of certain empirical events so that it could be refuted by empirical evidence. Instead, it is a proof that it is impossible to justify nonlibertarian property principles propositionally without falling into contradictions. Whatever such a thing is worth (and I'll come to this shortly), it should be clear that empirical evidence has absolutely no bearing on it. So what if there is slavery, the gulag, taxation? The proof concerns the issue that claiming such institutions can be justified involves a performative contradiction. It is purely intellectual in nature, like logical, mathematical,or praxeological proofs. Its validity, like theirs, can be established independent of any contingent experiences. Nor is its validity in any way affected, as several critics—most notoriously Waters—seem to think, by whether or not people like, favor, understand, or come to a consensus regarding it, or whether or not they are actually engaged in argumentation.

text: Wait for It Dept. August 6, 2012 Issue Tick-Tock Waiting to see "The Clock" By Nick Paumgarten Table of Contents Credit Tom Bachtell New York used to be a city of queues—movies, concert tickets, the Department of Motor Vehicles. Now technology sorts you out. A good line is hard to find. Even some nice old-fashioned lines, such as the one for Shakespeare in the Park, have been corrupted by the practice of people paying other people to wait in their place. That's not a line. That's a caste system. The best honest line in town, these past few weeks, has been the one for gaining entry to "The Clock," Christian Marclay's video installation at Lincoln Center. "The Clock" is a twenty-four-hour montage of movie scenes containing references to the time of day. Last Wednesday, at 11:07 A.M., sixty-four people were waiting to get in to see it. The line doubled back on itself, along Broadway, just north of Sixty-second Street. A sign near its tail estimated that the wait, from that point, would be an hour and a half, but you could never predict when space would open up inside. The average viewing time was an hour, but, if you wanted to, you could sit in there all day, watching the time go by. 11:14 A.M. A woman stepped out of the line. This was her second visit to "The Clock." The first time, she waited forty-five minutes, and watched for an hour and a half. "I've been waiting thirty minutes," she said. "If they're accurate in their predictions—and I know they're not, because they underestimated it the week before last and then they overestimated it last week—but, anyway, if they're accurate, then I'd end up getting in at the same time I did last week, and so would see the same part of the piece again. How stupid is that?" She'd spent fifteen minutes making this calculation and had decided to bail. Her name was Robin Lynn. She teaches English to immigrants. While waiting, she'd thought about how the students in her 4 P.M. class, who had fled troubled places like Burma and Ivory Coast, might react to "The Clock." "My time does not have the seriousness of intent that theirs has," she said. "I consider myself lucky to be able to waste my time waiting in line. "Here's the most interesting thing about me," she went on. When the Beatles made their first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," in 1964, the first closeup of an audience member was of her. "They held the camera on my face for four or five seconds. You'd have thought that the show was about me." 11:36 A.M. "We're waiting for my mother." "She's the catalyst." Josh and Annie Gosfield, brother and sister, had been in line for fifteen minutes, and estimated that they faced another seventy-five. They were picking at a corn muffin. Their mother, en route from Philadelphia, was stuck in traffic on Tenth Avenue. The plan had been for her to arrive as they reached the front of the line. (They'd arranged to have her wheelchaired in.) Annie, a composer, said, "I'm up against a deadline, and I'm having a breakthrough. If not for my mother, I would have only intended to come here." Her piece, featuring violins and jammed radio signals, is supposed to première next month, in Utrecht. Still, she expected to watch "The Clock" for at least two hours. Her brother estimated that he'd last no more than an hour. "I've got cultural A.D.D.," he said. He is a writer and an artist. He and his wife, Camille, who was also in line, had just finished a book, "The Art of Doing: How Superachievers Do What They Do and How They Do It So Well," featuring interviews with Alec Baldwin, Yogi Berra, Philippe Petit, George Clinton, and others. "We did a meta-analysis," he said. "If there's any commonality, it's self-awareness." Another commonality, you'd think, would be an intolerance of long lines. 12:17 P.M. A few places behind them, Kevin, a twenty-one-year-old student at Brown, was reading a library copy of "The Myth of Sisyphus." It was his day off from an internship. His to-do list for the day, which he'd written on a Post-it and stuck to his Mac, had read, "Breakfast. Coffee. The Clock." He'd skipped the coffee. 12:38 P.M. A man wearing a mustard-colored sports coat joined the queue. "Mark De Palma, like Brian De Palma," he said, introducing himself. This was his fourth time in the "Clock" line. "I don't plan. I live two blocks away. When I'm on my way by, if I have time, I get in line. I gamble on it. If it doesn't go fast enough, I leave. I've gotten in twice, and quit once. My schedule's flexible." He is a research scientist and an engineer, and part of a group that has invented something, he said, "that could be bigger than the Internet." He also said, "Talking, thinking, and writing can be destructive." Hard to argue. The clock at Columbus Circle read 12:41. ♦ Nick Paumgarten has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 2005.

The Bu! Blanket
If you've read this site for more than four minutes, you'll know that there's a very special place in my heart (and Bee's toy chest) for multi-purpose products that can grow from the baby stage to todderdom and beyond. So of course, I was pleased to receive a note from Elisabeth announcing a shop update were I spotted the cleverest blanket of all: Bu! Blankets.
If you're unfamiliar with Swedish-based Elisabeth Dunker of Fine Little Day fame, you simply must visit her blog and shop, pausing for a bit to take a peek at the pillow/wallpaper design she created with Otto, her (then) eight-year-old son. (So yes, if you're curious, artistic talent certainly does run in the family.) She's been an e-friend of mine since gosh, 2007(?) when I first fell in love with her eye for patterns, love for nature and unique ability to maintain a simple, art-filled life despite releasing wildly successful products time and again.
One of which? Her Bu! Blanket, a collaboration with Little Red Stuga. Part blanket, part imaginative costume, babies can snuggle away with the soft fabric until big brother or sister demands to use it for their next adventure as a pirate, lion, bear or Indian. Plus, it doubles as a playmat and interactive peekaboo sheet. The possibilities are endless, yes?
Three cheers for products that work (almost!) as hard as mamas.
Available for $47 at Fine Little Day.
p.s. Another multi-tasking blanket!twitter, facebook, pinterest, stumble

My own "New To Who" story, apart from embarrassingly self explanatory, is probably just as embarrassingly universal.
That night in my room, this video steaming website immersed me into the extraordinary world of The Doctor, and I fell in love… I fell in love with his madness, and the fate-defying River Song! And lives of impossible adventures, and silly words, and bravery, and friendships, that ended, but still made him who he is, and will continue to be, and I've never left since.
Instead, I've brought him along with me. And now my normal life is a little bit less, well, normal. Now I wonder a lot more, and I'll run instead of walk, and I reach so much higher… because he taught me that some things, although completely impossible, are really only, almost, completely impossible.

Review FC sections 4050 to 4055
Family Code section 4053 lists principles to be followed by the Court in implementing the guidelines. This is a statute worth reviewing, and using to remind family court judges of what our California State child support policy is. All statutes are listed on our website with this link: http://www.thurmanarnold.com/Practice-Areas/Family-Law-Statutes-Page.aspx
California Family Code section 4055 sets forth the formula used in Riverside County
California Family Code section 4055 sets forth the formula for assessing guideline support. Don't even bother to look at it, you will need to be a mathematician or logics teacher to understand or explain it. While gross income numbers (or imputed income) are used, the guideline tax effects this income so that net income is generally what is determinative - however, this complicates doing the math. The percentage of parent's income allocated to children is called the "K" factor, and this number moves depending upon how many children there are. It assumes, for instance, that 26% of the joint income of most families is spent on families with one child, and 60% where there are three children. Forturnately these calculations are done for us through computer programs. The most common are the Dissomaster and Xspouse, which I will explain further in another blog. Riverside County in Indio utilizes the Xspouse. The Xspouse is a spin off from the people who devised the Dissomaster, aft

Disable the OF password.
This is what I had to do according to Apple KBase article 106482:
If you cannot access the Open Firmware Password application and need to troubleshoot your computer by: * resetting the PRAM * starting up in Single-user mode * starting up in Verbose mode * starting from CD-ROM 1. Start up into Open Firmware by pressing and holding the Command-Option-O-F key combination during startup. 2. At the Open Firmware prompt, type: reset-nvram 3. Press Return. 4. When prompted for your password, enter it and press the Return key. It responds OK. 5. At the Open Firmware prompt, type: reset-all 6. Press Return. The computer restarts and you are now be able to reset the PRAM and startup in Single-user mode, Verbose mode, or from CD-ROM.
or if you can boot and use the Open Firmware Password Protection utility, I would recommend that. I had managed to munge my system but was unable to start up with a CD. I didn't have access to the internet in 9 because the PPPoE client my DSL provider provided would not install on my system. Sucked having to find this info on a friends computer. Would be nice if it just prompted for a pass when trying to boot off a CD or in single user mode. I think I might just head over to Apple's feedback page. z

While doing that, if I can't leave, and die in this world, as long as I don't have to wake up from this happy dream, I… Want to do that. Can I really not do that? Is that not possible?"

Meat Grinder Reviews
The best meat grinder reviews provide detailed information on the advantages and disadvantages of specific grinders. These reviews can help potential buyers make an informed decision on which grinder will satisfy their particular needs. For more info on meat grinders, you can visit: http://www.meatgrinderreviewshub.com/
LEM Products .75 HP Meat Grinder
LEM Products is one of the leading brands of electric meat grinders. This brand provides high quality electric meat grinders. LEM offers customers with a peace of mind in the form of a 2-year factory warranty. Although the LEM Products .75 boasts less horsepower than other models, the grinder still offers a strong performance. The .75 weighs only 47 lbs and grind close to 360 lbs of meat per hour. There are also several accessories included with the LEM Products.
Image Courtesy of Amazon.com
Features include a built-in circuit breaker, stainless motor housing, and roller bearings in all metal gears. The stainless housing guarantees a corrosion-free motor. The grinder incorporates a heavy-duty handle for easy moving. The .75 has a Stainless steel auger, head, and knife. The meat pan measures 11 ½" x 2 ¼" x 8 ½". The coarse plate is also Stainless steel and it measures 3/8". This grinder comes packaged with a stuffing plate and a fine plate measures. There is also a meat stomper and 3 stuffing tubes that measure 3/8", ¾", and1 ¼".
The packaging includes instructions that are easy to understand and straightforward. The grinder is reasonably priced and is more than affordable even on a tight budget. Another good feature of the LEM Products .75 model is the increased portability.
STX-3000 Turboforce Meat Grinder Reviews
The STX Turboforce offers 3000 watts of output power and comes standard with a No.12 size grinding head. This is a quality grinder in terms of both price and functionality. Most grinders come standard with a smaller size No.5 or No.8 grinding head. The STX 3000 is manufactured using 100% polished food grade aluminum.
The Turboforce has 3 different grind settings for coarse, medium, and fine cuts of meat. These settings include reverse, high, and low. This grinder easily grinds all types of vegetables and meat. The STX 3000 is easy to assemble and easy to clean after use. The Turboforce incorporates a generous 4 inch meat funnel feeder opening.
Image Courtesy of Amazon.com
The STX 3000 includes a Kubbe Attachment, a set of 3 different sized sausage tubes, 3 Stainless Steel cutting blades, and 3 different sized tempered steel grinding plates. The grinding plate with the large holes offers a coarse grind. The grinding plate with the medium holes offers a medium grind. The grinding plate with the small holes offers a fine grind.
The grinder is packaged with 3 different cutting blades that match the grinding plate so they create a matching set. When the cutting blade and the grinding plate are matched; the cutting blades remain sharper and the grind of meat is much faster as well as more precise. Although the Turboforce is somewhat more expensive than other grinders, it is worth the investment.
On a Final Note
Personally, the LEM and the STX - 300 Turboforce are the best meat grinder available on the market right now. I do hope that my meat grinder reviews will help you chose the perfect one for your needs. Till my next post, take care everyone!

So I was at a very nice spa and tested the Olivinia olive oil lip gloss, fell in love with it, and then by the time I went back to purchase it, all of the tubes were gone. And at $14 per tube I think I dodged a bullet. So I just made my own! Tonight I tried this recipe and modified it. Coconut oil, hazelnut oil, a drop of honey and vitamin E. I didn't add beeswax, because I just didn't have any, and it seems to have set up just fine. Melts quickly, but thats ok too. And quite tasty! Success!
On pasta. The first night we thought it was curry. The second night it was red so I thought marinara. Not so! This hotel has funny ideas about food. Not sure if it's typical of the country's cuisine or if this is just the cafeteria chef at this all-inclusive place getting desperate/too creative.

StoryCorps is doing great work. Capturing oral history and making it interesting to listen to.
A sure sign of old age is looking forward to weekends for all the laundry and chores around the house. Me, I take it a step further and save all the laundry for Saturday night. The machines are always available probably because everyone else in their right mind is out. But throw in a costume drama on TV and I'm set.
Sneak attack is a favorite game. These might be at least a reasonable defense/distraction for the typical sharp fanged attack. Or it might encourage it. I'm fine either way as long as it is not my arms that show the scars.

HP 6910p - BSOD when using battery
My HP 6910p just came back from repair. HP changed the mobo due to a charging problem. The CPU utilization was maxed when A/C adapter was connected, on battery everything was fine.
Now I have twice experienced a BSOD when using battery (only). It seems like the machine is trying to hypernate/sleep, even though there is plenty of power left on the battery (more than 80%).
I cannot figure out whether it is another mobo issue or a software issue. I hope I can get some help, because the HP supporters are not much help.

Scott Brown to Iowa to see if there's 'an interest in my brand of leadership and Republicanism'
**Written by Doug Powers
Maybe an über-moderate Republican from Massachusetts can win back the White House for the GOP! Hey, wasn't that tried fairly recently?
From the Des Moines Register:
Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts is traveling to Iowa on Sunday to check out the big boar and the super bull at the Iowa State Fair – and to size up whether Iowans might take a liking to him.
"I'm going to be coming out more often to try to determine whether there's an interest in my brand of leadership and Republicanism," Brown told The Des Moines Register in a telephone interview this afternoon.
Ted Cruz has already been to Iowa, and next month Joe "blast 'em through the door" Biden will be in the state (please run, Joe).
There are only 1,178 days until the 2016 election.

Look at the notes O.O
History is my best subject.
So… Last night I had a strange dream.
I was at a dinner party with people I didn't even know, and in the middle of dinner, someone knocked on the door.
I got up to answer it, only to find Winston Churchill standing in front of me.
I was happy, and welcomed him to dinner.
During dinner we became best friends.
After dinner, we talked and talked and talked…
When I had to leave, I was upset.
So I gave Winston a hug, said good-bye, and left.
(I know the picture doesn't really have anything to do with my dream… besides the fact that me and Winston here are buddies. P.S. we didn't frolic through a field of flowers in my dream. We just talked and had dinner.)
I never really got into the Harry Potter fandom, but this is… Just… Beautiful!
First 30 pages are kind of boring and I'm like
Then I'm trying to decide if I should keep reading

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is quickly running out of viable opponents to face in the 205-pound division.
UFC president Dana White recently confirmed that Dan Henderson will get the next title shot against Jones, but who waits in the wings for the champ if he defeats Henderson?
UFC matchmaker Joe Silva will have his work cut out for him, but one name keeps popping up when the subject of 205-pound contenders is discussed and that's Alexander Gustafsson.
Gustafsson is on a five-fight win streak. He's an inch taller than the six-foot-four Jones, but is at a reach disadvantage. They each have one loss on their resumes, although Jones' lone defeat came by disqualification in a fight he was about to finish.
A striking battle between the two would certainly be compelling, but Jones doesn't see any similarities between the two other than their height.
"I don't think it's appropriate people are comparing us," said Jones.
"The only similarities that we have is we're both tall, and that's it. We're completely different athletes. I have a wrestler base where I shoot and throw from the clinch, I kick fast and accurate; he has really great boxing," continued Jones.
Jones isn't sold on Gustafsson's contender status. He feels the Swedish striker needs to win a couple more fights before being considered for an opportunity at UFC gold.
"Alexander Gustafsson, I think he's pretty close to a title shot. I think maybe if he wins two more fights against some top guys, maybe like Lyoto (Machida) or Rashad (Evans) or somebody, somebody that can push him in different categories," said Jones during the UFC 145 pre-fight press conference.
"I'd like to see him against another wrestler and I would like to see him against a worthy striker. Then I think a title shot would be very appropriate," added the light heavyweight titleholder.
While Jones feels Gustafsson is a couple of wins away from challenging him for the belt, he enjoys watching Gustafsson fight.
"I like his demeanor, though," said Jones. "He has some swagger. He exudes winning from the second he steps in the cage. I think the kid has the potential to be a star."

When Jon and Josh Graham of Graham Knives in Cleveland, Tennessee, developed their custom Graham Razel in 2001, most knife blades came to a single point. Not the Razel. It's a cross between a chisel and a razor with a knife handle. The result gives two useful Razor-Sharp edges, one for pushing or tapping, and the other for precise cutting. You also get two strong blade points. The Graham brothers have been very successful with their custom versions in a variety of sizes and styles.
The CRKT production Razel models follow the Graham concept faithfully, with very thick full-tang blades of premium 9Cr18MoV (similar to 440C) stainless steel in a brushed finish, hand-contoured resin impregnated handles, and custom-fitted Kydex sheaths.
How are mechanics, carpenters, farmers, and home craftsmen using their Razel models? The Grahams report: Scraping gaskets, removing paint and stickers. Chiseling to make reliefs, mortises and tenons. Prying tight-fitting parts. Cutting things like paracord, wire insulation, radiator hose, plastic ties and tubing. Taper reaming a hole with the twist of the wrist. Reaching into tight spaces and push cutting with the chisel edge. Opening feed bags and cutting through bales of hay. You name it, the Razel does it.
The Ringed Razel has cutting edges of 1.125" and 3". The handle terminates in a ring for the little finger. You can use this tool in the wettest, slickest conditions without fear of losing your grip. It's an extremely high-quality work tool, built to custom standards, unique in the knife and tool world. In-pocket sheaths. The Grahams have designed the Kydex sheath which comes with the Ringed Razel for right-hand in-pocket carry.

The State of the Union address remains, for me, one of those "events" that actually occasions the rare gesture of sitting in front of a television for some good old fashioned appointment viewing. Watching the glorious obsequiousness, gladhanding, strategic applause, and Vice President Biden's megawatt grin in full HD retains a certain appeal that a YouTube window a few inches wide cannot quite contain.
But as a political event, it is slowly being drained of its life and blood.
President Obama's speech had many soaring summits, and even an interestingly conversational tone at points that exposed the President's frustration with an utterly recalcitrant Congress, but when it came to using the ultimate bully pulpit for concrete proposals the President remained vague; principled, to be quite sure, but dubious about the power of anything but his own pen.
Consider the fact that, as our own Chloe Angyal pointed out,
"at no point did the President mention sexual violence in the military. Despite the fact that a woman deployed in a combat zone is more likely to be sexually attacked by one of her comrades than she is to be killed by the enemy, he said nothing. Despite the fact that the number of acts of unwanted sexual contact reported in the military rose in 2013, to a total of about 26,000, he said nothing."
This is, as she reminds us, a severe omission. Yet even if President Obama had mentioned it, it would likely have suffered from the same problem that the big feminist shout out of the night had. We all thrilled to President Obama's Mad Men reference, and his invocation of the sobering wage gap between women and men, but let us ask ourselves: what was actually proposed to remedy these maladies? What policies did he propose to replace the Don Draper-vintage status quo?
This gets at the essential questions that can (and must) be asked about nearly everything in the President's address: what does the President believe the federal government can actually do to ameliorate injustice? How can our elected officials help make the promise of our rights and liberties real and material? We can all cheer at vague platitudes, but we are also owed a clear road map.
President Obama rightly received a storm of applause and a rush of cheering standing ovations for his majestic statements of principle on women's rights, and we should all be painfully aware of how a Republican president would never have even bothered to say that much—the bewildering chorus of GOP "official" responses makes that abundantly clear.
But the inescapable undercurrent of the State of the Union was a depressing resignation about the power of the federal government to achieve anything. What continues to elude this president with each passing State of the Union is a truly grand, coherent vision, of how we can make our society more equal.
A precious, lonely sentence, acknowledged that most low wage workers are women, but I grimaced when I saw that it was merely a segue into another topic rather than an issue he would use to build up to a cogent legislative programme. Beyond this, a meaningfully intersectional approach was nowhere to be found.
The President stepped back from concrete proposals on immigration, only averring that "something" must be done; no word was spared for deportations or the terrible impact our immigration system has on working and lower class women of colour and their access to healthcare.
There was no effort at painting a grand vision for how we could knit our riven society back together, no great effort to persuade on these core questions which affect millions of people left in the cold by alien systems and the reckless indifference of the powerful. Even existing, modest legislative ideas, like a (trans inclusive) Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which is meant to provide a legal remedy to those who suffer various forms of LGBT discrimination in public, remained silently shrouded. When we will find a president willing to mention the Equal Rights Amendment at every State of the Union until it is ratified? When will there be a vision for sex workers in this country who suffer daily from criminalisation? Or for the incarcerated for whom the statistics mandated by the Prison Rape Elimination Act keep piling up with no meaningful action to follow?
This is not a mere radical wishlist for name-checking the prescribed issues. This is a foundational question about what government is for. That question will grow more urgent as time goes on, and it is one that is much larger than Obama's presidency or the obdurate Republican congress. It is a veritably existential concern for a feminist movement that agitates for urgent legal remedies.
Newly elected socialist Seattle City Councillor Kshama Sawant delivered her own response to the State of the Union which ought not be missed for at least being a breath of fresh air—if still long on platitudes and short on specifics—but her challenge to the President to acknowledge mass movements fighting for a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage, and follow their lead, is absolutely vital.
It is emblematic of the kind of grassroots-founded leadership our commanders in chief ought to be exhibiting. Sawant's speech is a glimmering reminder in the dark of what could be done and what Obama's leadership could look like.
If only this president could screw his courage to the sticking point and try.

Does Wyoming need laws for human trafficking?
Wyoming is the only state without statutes that specifically address human trafficking.
Mary Ellison with the Polaris Project said this diminishes Wyoming's ability to fight the crimes.
"We are seeing more cases being presented to local law enforcement officials and local prosecutors," she said. "They need these additional tools."
But Wyoming officials respond that the state's system of referring cases to the federal level is working.
Wyoming Attorney General Greg Phillips said it makes more sense for the state to leverage the resources of the U.S. Attorney's Office than to have local communities handle the few cases that come up.
"The federal penalties are extremely harsh for that type of awful behavior," Phillips said. "Because we have so much cooperation among local, state and federal officials, we have as good as a system as any other state."
Jim Anderson, an assistant U.S. attorney based out of Cheyenne, agrees. He said there are "sufficient tools" already in place to prosecute cases in Wyoming.
He added that Wyoming is unique because of its small population and geography. He said his office has dealt with only two sex-trafficking cases in the past five years.
"We just don't have that type of activity that other states have," Anderson said. "And when cases are brought to the attention of law enforcement, they are treated appropriately."
He added that many trafficking cases occur with runaway teens who are coerced into prostitution. But Wyoming does not see as many of these runaway cases as other states, he said.
But some advocates say human trafficking is a bigger problem locally than most assume.
Daniel DeCecco, Wyoming's volunteer advocacy leader for the International Justice Mission, said he has talked with several victims and researched reports in the state where the cases never make it to the prosecution level.
"It is an issue that usually stays under the radar, but having a state law could help that," DeCecco said. "Because Wyoming is such a large and rural state, (trafficking cases) are something that can happen without getting a lot of attention."
