Sargent seat update
After I sent my stock seat to Sargent for reworking and new foam I got a call a little over a week later from one of the owners. They were in the development stages for their own version of a seat for the T800 and had a loaner bike on its way to them so they could develop their seat design. He asked if he could keep my seat a bit longer and use it for the development process, which I of course agreed to.
I got a call from him last week. He said the foam was done and it was headed to upholstery, and would then ship to me. They must have worked fast because I received it yesterday.
You can clearly see the dished area towards the back of the seat. The dish is actually a bit more than you can see in the photos because the vinyl seat cover tends to float a bit and doesn't fully represent the shape.
I rode the bike about an hour yesterday. I generally need a bit of time on a seat to get used to it but I can say without a doubt this seat is worlds better than either the stock seat or the Triumph gel seat (which I would be happy to sell at a discount to anyone who wants to try it). The dished area provides a lot more support across a much larger area, and I can still easily move from the dished area up onto the nose of the seat for a change if desired. Having owned several Sargent seats over the years I knew the foam would be a huge improvement, and was not disappointed.
I believe Sargent will release their seat somewhere around September, but for anyone who wants to have them make one based on the stock pan they should now have templates based on the one they made for me.

36 year old man | North Springfield, VA, USA | Seeking women 29-35 within 15 miles of Springfield, VA
A journey of a thousand miles ...
It's hard to distill yourself down to a handful of words but I'll try to hit the high points. I grew up in Maine and went to college in Boston. I served in the Army for 4 years and currently work as a DoD contractor in the IT field. I finished a Master's Degree this past spring. I subscribe to the Washington Post, but often don't read it. Although, I would give them my money for nothing in return, because I like the idea of quality journalism. I regularly order books from Amazon, but they build up faster than I read them. I have plans to go snowboarding in Colorado and trout fishing in Alaska but it may be years before these plans come to fruition. My nephew Charlie is the raddest dude alive, although his younger brother Henry is mounting a significant challenge to the crown. Every time I scratch an item off the list of things I have to do around my house, I add two more. I like to fish, hunt, woodwork, and brew, after, of course, I have cleaned, cooked, laundered and taken out the trash.

38 year old woman | Studio City, CA, USA | Seeking men 33-40 within 50 miles
We don't know what we've got until we lose it, but we also don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Rather than throwing out a bunch of adjectives to describe myself, here are a few memories to give you a sense of who I am: 1. Spent one Presidents' Day weekend in Mammoth with 10 friends. We rented a huge house (think Real World style minus the confessional) and snowboarded all day. The evenings were filled with lots of great food, margaritas, laughter, Taboo, and a bubbling steamy hot tub. Love local day trips to Mountain High when I can't make it to Mammoth, Tahoe or Big Bear. 2. Pub crawled on Main St in Santa Monica many times. I'm pretty social and laid back -- I work hard during the week and like to kick back and relax on weekends at various bars by the beach. 3. Everyday I drive through the canyons. I chose to live near the hills (as opposed to near the beach) because I love hiking and spending time in the woods. There's something really calming about cruising down on Mulholland Drive or Laurel Canyon at night. In the summers I go tent camping. I am looking for the guy that will want to do these things with me in the future. He will make me laugh and laugh at my dumb jokes, he will teach me things and learn a few things from me, and he will be at the stage where he's got his life together and is truly ready for someone to share it with.

Great White
No. 2006
Great White appears to be a pale lilac when contrasted with All White so is perfect for girl's bedrooms when wanting to keep a fairly neutral house. Despite its red undertone it is not the warmest of pinks but the inclusion of the merest amount of black makes it wonderfully sophisticated. White & Light Tones Undercoat.
Great White 15 15
Best emulsion on the market Excellent quality paint, great coverage with a superb finish. 08 May 2015
Stunning 'shaded' white I love this white....it has the faintest 'lilac' tone and I have it in the kitchen with 'Elephants Breath' which is brilliant with it. Not a bit cold but VERY stylish.... 01 May 2015
Gives a beautiful soft pink glow in artificial light I have just painted my children's north-facing bedroom in this, and am really happy with it. But it is definitely not a "bright white" in this small dark room - it is a very pale creamy pink. Is wonderful, but not as it looks on the website or how it sounds in the F and B descriptions! I strongly recommend it for a dark bedroom, but it's definitely worth testing in situ. 17 November 2014
Final finish is beautiful. I used this paint as a final trim on our wood trim. Initially was a little thick but after adding about two tablespoons of water to the quart can it applied beautifully. Final gloss finish was great and had nice soft feel. Odor was very low and went away. We plan on using Farrow & Ball on the rest of our home. 09 May 2014
excellent product The product is quite excellent, high quality, perfect final results and very easy to apply. The colour is also perfect, neither yellow nor grey. The final result is very elegant. We shall recommend it! 29 July 2013
Excellent Delighted with ease of application and final colour. I wanted white with pink/grey undertones for my daughter's (very small!) bedroom and the result is perfect - just what I wanted. Would recommend. 07 July 2013
a really great white A little bit pink before drying but really white once very dry, the whole without being icy or yellow rustic. easy to apply. 12 June 2013
Pink/lilac white Painted a north facing bedroom in this. While it does create a lovely soft light, it is very pink which was not what I was after. Will be repainting in a more neutral tone. Definitely more of a bedroom colour 21 May 2013

Republican extremism
The Republican Party is so extremist that it has become a danger to the health of all Americans. As evidence, I'll enumerate just a small sampling of the bills that Republican House members (with dozens of Republican co-sponsors) have introduced:
Joe Barton wants to do away with federal mandates requiring research and production of energy-efficient lighting. Marsha Blackburn introduced an act that would exclude from the definition of the term 'air pollutant' methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, all known carcinogens.
And, John Mica's bill restricts the EPA from administering regulations promulgated under the Clean Water Act, meaning petrochemical polluting states such as Texas and New Jersey could exempt themselves from measures protecting either ground or surface water.
While hypocritical about reducing the deficit, Republicans actually wish to increase it! Kevin Brady would permanently repeal the estate tax, costing the Treasury $1.3 trillion! Randy Neugebauer has introduced a bill making all the Bush tax cuts permanent, costing us $3 trillion over 10 years.
Republicans obvious desire to do away with Social Security and Medicare, and their threats to shut down the government is more evidence that they need to be retired immediately!

Square Enix is releasing Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix and Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster for the Playstation 3 this year. If the company is smart, they should also remaster Final Fantasy XII.
One of the benefits of releasing Final Fantasy XII for the Playstation 3 is the ease of development. Square Enix won't have to spend any extra cash on creating assets like they would have with a completely new video game because they are already there. Additionally, the original game has a widescreen viewing mode, saving further development time.
Releasing Final Fantasy XII for the Playstation 3 could also help reinvigorate the Final Fantasy brand. Many fans considered Final Fantasy XII as the last great video game in the franchise. With both Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIV being disappointments, Square Enix can get fans excited again with the remaster.
The most obvious benefit for Square Enix is money. The remaster of Final Fantasy XII would cost very little to make and sell millions of copies. The company could use all the sales they could get with their recent financial troubles.

What would you like to see between the levees?
Tomorrow's the big day: we'll hear recommendations from the Mayor's Dream Team on how to proceed with plans for the Trinity toll road.
We've been having similar discussions on the editorial board. For months, we've been reading, debating, bringing in experts on many different sides of this issue. Late last week, we boarded ourselves up in a room for a couple of hours to hash out the best next steps, as far as this newspaper's opinion goes. (That editorial is being written, to be published in the next few days.)
And I hope you've seen our op-ed series that has been running every Monday for five weeks, with pro-toll-road and anti-toll-road positions, and some suggestions in between.
We'd like to hear from you, too: Given everything you've been hearing and reading, what would you like to see go between the levees?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have finally trimmed their roster down to the league-mandated 75 players as six more players were waived Tuesday afternoon.
Offensive lineman Chris Elkins, running back Tauren Poole, long snapper Luke Ingram, offensive lineman Emmanuel McCray, defensive end Brian Arfelt, and nose tackle Hebron Fangupo have all been waived.
Earlier on Tuesday the team waived nine players as running back Jordan Hall, running back Miguel Maysonet, wide receiver C.J. Goodwin, wide receiver Kashif Moore, tight end Eric Waters, safety Jordan Dangerfield, cornerback Devin Smith, cornerback Lew Toler, and linebacker Vic So'oto were all let go.
The Steelers will play the Carolina Panthers Thursday night in their preseason finale at Heinz Field and they'll then have to trim their roster down to 53 players by this time next Saturday.
Looking good for McCullers and one of the DEs.
Bryce over Ingram? Wow.
Also, another wow for Arnfelt.
Warren might still make it back for opening day. The snapper might be Suisham's call.
will this now make the ones who made it be better in the last preseason game because they made it past the first round of cuts ….i wasnt to sure hebron would be cut on the first cut down ….i thought dangerfield might of also not have been cut on first cut…
Well that was a quick on for Luke Ingram. I guess uhm Landry Jones will long snap, well maybe not.. Brice McCain to long snap till Greg Warren is back? Wow who would thunk Guy Whimper would out live so may OLinesman…
What happened w/ Arnfelt?
LS Bryce Davis
oops thats what i mean. Bryce Davis, not Brice McCain.. my bad..
Somewhat surprised about Ingram, though he'd make it over Davis and what the h@ll happened to Arnfelt this offseason, never would've guessed.
Fangupo being released says a lot about how they view McCullers
Yea I thought Ingram would make it over Davis, but shows what I know. I still think they value Davis' TE ability
guess Bryce Davis is also the back up TE… not sure if you want to chance him on TE if he only LS on deck thou.
Said the same thing to you, ha!
well as fast as they got Luke Ingram to training camp in latrode the day the signed and i watch him walk on field. they may have Ingram stuffed in a locker for save keeping.
so does this mean the team carries just two TEs? Will Johnson can be used as a TE and so can Bryce Davis
92 is avalible again!!!!
Im surprised recently acquired Graham Pocic and Dayonne Nunley aren't on this list
I am too, but 22 more cuts on Saturday.
I think they cut the practice squad among the first cuts for some reason. Maybe so they can clear waivers, and then be added to the PS in 5 days, 8/31. So'oto, Arnfelt, Fangupo, Devon Smith, Dangerfield, Poole, Maysonet, Moore, Waters, & Elkins. These are all names that have been mentioned for the PS by many here. Would like to see if the they did this with last year's PS.
They didn't and haven't done so since 2012 with Jamie McCoy.
I'm hoping that Mauro gets a lot time Thursday night. This kid has potential – not ready yet – but potential.
Houston going to make it through as our PS RB this year?
Seems pretty obvious they don't want to keep more than one DE on the practice squad and they like Mauro more than Arnfelt, so they wanted to give him a chance to catch on somewhere else. They might still put him on there if he doesn't catch elsewhere, but it seems like a gesture of goodwill more than anything.
Isiah Green survives another round of cuts. Steelers must like him a lot more than some of his detractors here.
Seems like they made a lot of the harder cuts today, some easier ones to come. At this point we still have Brendon Kay on the squad I believe
I agree. Seems like some of these may have been courtesy cuts today
I keep hearing that, but don't know that I agree with that strategy. What do you do when you let a guy go so he can catch on, and someone you planned on keeping blows out his knee on Thursday? You might wish you kept that guy on the roster as long as possible.
The next round of cuts is due Saturday at 4 p.m. E.T., not next Tuesday.
Some interesting cuts today for sure. Arnfelt, Ingram, and Fangupo, on top of Waters, Dangerfield, and So'oto.
Not sure if Ingram's cut means they actually think Warren will be back for the opener or if they like Davis better than Ingram. My guess is the latter, because Warren definitely isn't playing Thursday so apparently they are comfortable enough to roll with Davis as long as necessary.
That's who I'm rooting for. Talented kid!
I felt Poole had a good shot at making the roster if he could have stayed healthy. Like Dave says "Can't make the roster in the hot tub."
Glad they kept Fangupo last year instead ta'amu.
could be third true rb on the 53.
He'll be starting at the end of the season !
Go Big Dan..
How can they like mauro better than arnfelt (which he is) BUT don't like nobody better than carter
CB Devin Smith was waived injured so he will likely revert back to IR after clearing waivers.
Might want to really see who's more worthwhile as a backup quarterback on the practice squad, Kay or Jones or that sack of potatoes that someone left in the dorms after training camp.
Brett Kiesel and Josh Mauro happend….shoot, Mauro still might get cut…either him or nick williams
I can't begin to describe how disappointed I am in how we do things. Most of these guys barely had an opportunity to play and show what they can or can't do. Instead we keep Carter and Will Allen… smh This is why we're 8-8 and getting worse, we bring guys in and then don't give them much opportunity to show what they can do… It seems that most of the time the practice squad guys are not taken from the first cuts and about 5 of these cuts I would have wanted on our practice squad. I remember when we had the 3rd string DB's out there. Ventrone and Dangerfield at safety Toler and Green at CB. This unit forced 2 coverage sacks, and was part of the overall 3rd unit that won the game against the Bills, and they don't get more opportunities?!?! But other than Green (who got other opportunities and didn't look good at all), these guys have hardly played… And they keep Green, who we've already established from this preseason and all of last year's practice squad time, we should know what he can't do… So they just signed Nunley and they think he's better than Smith and Toler? So'oto has made more plays in this one preseason time with us than Carter has the whole time he's been here (and that includes the fact that So'oto went up against 2nd and 3rd stringers, because so did Carter), and we keep Carter and cut So'oto… This is why we are declining, we aren't willing to take a risk. People forget that Chuck Noll's first year he went 1-13. But he was wiling to take risks and evaluate talent and eventually build a winner… But no we stagnate and decline. If we are going to keep guys like Carter and Will Allen and cut our potential who we've barely even had a chance to evaluate, we deserve what we get…
maybe so ..but the big man mccullers is so raw and letting hebron go must mean hes done more then hebron has so far this season .
Arnfelt the camp pick last season is out now on the first round of cuts
so we have 2 UDFA DL still on the Roster Hemer and Mauro
I am shocked this Houston Kid that last signing at rb is still on the roster
The only thing I can't understand is why you're not in the front office yet, or at the very least on the coaching staff. You seem to have it all figured out.
Sometimes I wish I was!!!! LOL No, I don't have it all figured out by any means, it's just when you keep seeing the same things, and they aren't adjusting, and we've been declining… Sometimes people get stuck in a mentality and don't make the necessary adjustments. It seems we are in danger of that.
I like him. When we brought him in I went and watched all the tape on Youtube I could find and came away fairly impressed with his size and physical running style, moreso than Poole, Maysonet, etc. He only had about 700-800 yds in each of his 3 seasons at Indiana, but he averaged 5+ yds/carry (6.7 yds/carry his last year). He also catches the ball out of the backfield very well and has kick return experience (not that it matters much anymore).
And so might the punter. Wing is holding for him now, isn't he? I can't help but think that it's not just having different long snappers that is helping to cause Shaun to struggle. Plus, Wing isn't exactly punting all that well.
The impression I have gotten from reading articles elsewhere is that neither Johnson or Davis is good enough of a TE to play it all that often. Plus, most teams don't like having their LS play all that much outside of snapping, because if he gets hurt… you get James Harrison. I would think there will be a 3rd TE. If Blanchflower has a good game Thursday, it could be him: if not, it's Palmer. I don't think Paulson has a prayer of sticking around.
Well bro, I respect your enthusiasm and well thought out response, but we'll have to disagree on a lot of it. I'm certainly not going to give up on Carter if the coaches aren't. I saw identical fan reactions to often-cut James Harrison, before he became Defensive MVP, and Jason Worilds, before he broke out and looked like an all-pro last year. People were calling for their heads the same way you and many others are doing with Carter. I've just learned to trust the Rooneys and our staff. They've brought home more hardware than any other team, so they'll always get the benefit of the doubt from me.
So'oto was a shocker though. I liked his potential for sure.
I have to think that Nick Williams has an edge over Josh Mauro, but only because Williams is built more like a "prototypical" 3-4 end. Mauro might be a nice practice squad stash, though.
Before the draft, I was screaming for the Steelers to draft Mauro around the 5th round, which is about where he was projected by the "experts." I guess that means the experts and I can spot talent, but not as good as we think. lol.
I agree with everything goSteelerz said and i wanted to write the same thing but he beat me to it and I would have kept dangerfield in place of will allen but carter/adams /paulson/ Landry jones and will Allen should not be on this team if they plan on being better than 8/8 so oto dangerfield are upgrades imo and waters to ps plus how does a guyy like carter/zumwalt still playing and so oto isn't makes me a die hard Steelers fan for over 30 yrs question their insight
Doesn't take much to figure out the Tomlin 'clusterfark'.
Mauro is just as "prototypical" as Williams and he has regularly been playing a string ahead of Williams. Edge: Mauro.
i think Mauro makes the 53, Williams to the practice squad
Dangerfield and So'Oto in the initial cuts, you've got to be kidding me! This is how we're going to build a winning squad???? Tomlin and Colbert are twin 'dipsticks'.
Ta'amu was pretty decent last season for AZ. Apparently he earned equal snaps with Dan Williams as a rotation NT and did well.
I believe you, as I haven't been able to see much game or camp action for myself. I was under the impression that Mauro was lighter than the typical 3-4 end, more in the 280 range than 300.
Devin Smith was actually waived-injured, apparently, meaning that if no one claims him he would go to IR. So, if the Steelers decided to keep Smith around, they would not have to use a practice squad spot for him.
But you have to remember that we had numerous OL injuries that affected our run game and TOP, TP was hurt, we lacked or changed coaches at OC, STs, Tomlin's clock management sucked, Miller was hurt, punting wasn't a real plus- it distorts all our stats or assumptions. And the cuts/ player movements haven't played out yet, lets wait another week and then I'll probably be yelling w/ you- just saying.
I had hopes for Poole based on seeing him with Panthers in last year's camp and with Tennessee Vols. He wasn't healthy enough to show anything. I hear lots of good things from fans about Houston, though.
Tammie: from what I had read in previous weeks, Carter had been having a great camp, playing like someone who knows his job is on the line. If that's the case, great: if it isn't, I agree with you, find someone else.
He reminds me of Chidi Iwouma (remember him?). You might be in trouble if he has to play CB, but he does enough well on special teams to hang around anyways.
Agreed. Poole was with Saints in 2012 camp and Panthers in 2013 camp, looked good in both, but had misfortune of being on 2 rosters which were very deep at tailback.
Just a reminder, folks: So'oto has been cut by 5 other NFL teams before Pittsburgh; Dangerfield was cut by Buffalo last year and I don't think ever appeared on a practice squad during the year. They were both interesting players, but they are just 2 examples of guys who might have looked like world-beaters in short spurts, but might not really have a future in the league. Every team's fans are scratching their heads about some cuts right now.
The So'to cut is troubling to me. Carter should of been the courtesy cut. He's terrible, the worst 3-4 OLB in Steeler history. He cant get to the qb and he's walked all over the field in the run game. Smh
I agree for the most part, but then I would have been in full rebuild mode last year. Carter again? SMH.
Perhaps we agree more than we disagree, because I was in favor of holding on to Harrison and Worilds. The difference is that those guys showed improvement whereas Carter has been given multiple opportunities and he hasn't. The guys that I'm talking about may not be worthy of the roster or practice squad, but at least they should have enough chances to prove it either way. I noticed the same lack of improvement in Curtis Brown and it took them waaaay too long to let him go, but they finally did. Like you I usually defer to the opinion of the organization because they have 6 Lombardi trophies. It's just that seeing the trend of how we've been struggling lately, I think one reason is how we've gotten in the habit of sticking with players we know, even when they aren't up to par.
I could easily see this happening. This almost locks Mauro onto the squad in my opinion. No other 6th DL has played ahead of him with any regularity.
I thought we would have kept Toler and So'oto, but this list looks pretty good to me.
I honestly did not notice Dangerfield while watching the games, what did he do to cause so many to think he would make the 53? I did notice Ventrone and thought he played pretty well and Shamarko was very good.
One thing that troubles me is how preseason is approached. Here we are in week 4, and historically Ben doesn't play along with some other star players. I think it should be the opposite. Play these young unknown guys the first few weeks to evaluate talent. As we get into week 3, the starters come in and they start to see more time through the last preseason game. Week 4 should be a prerequisite and a warm up game to the regular season.
Weeks 1-2 scrubs, evaluate talent, make roster cuts
Weeks 3-4 infuse starters and tune up to roll in to week 1 of regular season. (should be firing on all cylinders and have rhythm heading into regular season).
Right and Mike Adams fails a drug test and lies in court, but that's ok cause he's a 2nd round pick and someone doesn't want to look foolish. Swallow your pride already
It's no secret that I liked Toler, his college highlight film (13 minutes of it!) was about the most impressive I've seen. I expected some growing pains on going up a couple levels to the pros, but I thought he was worth giving more reps and more game time to show whether or not he was worth the 53 or the practice squad. He made one of the best plays on a ball ANY of our DBs have made in the preseason, just didn't come up with the pick. He made a couple bad plays but also was big on the coverage that forced two sacks. I thought he was worth more looks than a mere 18 defensive snaps. We already know a lot more about Green and many of our starters. Why Toler didn't get more opportunities in practice as well as games I don't know… And he's not alone in that department this preseason…

George Siemens, elearnspace, Jul 03, 2015
After connectivism and MOOCs George Siemens followed the path leading to learning analytics, while I took the path leading to personal learning. In this article it looks like he sees the paths as converging. Certainly a lot of what he is saying here is what has been current in personal learning. Witness this: "Many of the personalized learning systems now available begin with an articulation of the knowledge space – i.e. what the learner needs to know. What the learner knows is somewhat peripheral and is only a focal point after the learner has started interacting with content. Additionally, the data that is built around learner profiles is owned by either the educational institution or the software company. This isn't a good idea. Learners should own the representation of what they know." There's a longish slide presentation to support the short post.
Hoa Truong-White, Lorna McLean, Canadian Journal of Education, Jul 03, 2015
From the abstract: "This article explores how digital storytelling offers the potential to support transformative global citizenship education (TGCE) through a case study of the Bridges to Understanding program that connected middle and high school students globally using digital storytelling." I'm not really a fan of storytelling, but I think that this is just my own personal preferences; other people love stories and swear by them. Having said that, my interest in storytelling is probably more around the way the teller is transformed in the telling of the story than in the way the listener is transformed in the listening to it. More articles form the just-released issue of the Canadian Journal of Education.
Phil Hill, e-Literate, Jul 03, 2015
Adaptive learning is one of those ideas that sounds great in theory but is virtually impossible to make effective in practice. People familiar with the early days of video games (and especially the first video-disc games) will understand why - the best games are open-ended environments in which you attempt to achieve goals in increasingly challenging circumstances, rather than closed processes that take you through branches and loops based on specific responses and outcomes. And so the University of Phoenix, which is learning this lesson the hard way. "And after spending years and untold millions on developing its own digital course platform that it said would revolutionize online learning, Mr. Cappelli said the university would drop its proprietary learning systems in favor of commercially available products."
John Spencer, Jul 03, 2015
I am really of two minds about this. On the one hand, I understand the need to refine and revise your work, especially if you're just developing your writing style and your voice. So I can see how these tips would be useful. On the other hand, I hate doing revisions. Almost everything you see that I've written - from blog posts to published articles - is first-draft work. If I must revisit the same ideas again, I'd rather write a new first-draft from scratch, because enough will have changed between yesterday and today so as to make it necessary. I view writing as - at best - a snapshot, not something that captures eternal truths to be treasured for all time. Perhaps it's my background in journalism and writing for tight deadlines. So instead of honing skills to help me revise, I hone skills that help me get it right the first time. All in perspective, I guess.
Patti Neighmond, NPR | Mind/Shift, Jul 03, 2015
Some people think that it is odd that I am interested in and follow sports. Why, I even have a signed and framed photo of Jose Bautista on my wall. Why would I, a putative philosopher, thinker and researcher, be interested in sports? And the answer, quite simply, is that sports teaches me lessons, sports offers me role models, and sports inspires me. And even in my (ahem) advanced years, I need all three. "Parents think that the organized way you participate in sports — the leadership and fellowship — is actually preparing people not only for the next game but for much broader roles in life." I think this is true. It means that someone needs to be there to help kids cope not only with the thrill of victory but also the agony of defeat - how you can train hard, do everything right, perform at your best - and still lose.
Irving Wladawsky-Berger, Jul 03, 2015
This is my take as well: "What if, rather than asking the traditional question - What tasks currently performed by humans will soon be done more cheaply and rapidly by machines? - we ask a new one: What new feats might people achieve if they had better thinking machines to assist them?"

Natasha Singer, Jeremy B. Merrill, New York Times, Jul 03, 2015
The story is in the headline. That's why it doesn't matter how much a company reassures you that "all your data is safe with us." As soon as the company is sold, all bets are off. The definition of "us" has just changed dramatically. That's why some of these startup companies become so valuable. Microsoft didn't simply buy Minecraft technology for $2.5 billion, for example - it bought access to data on millions of children using Minecraft, which is now being leveraged to support its educational offerings.

I want and visualize and aspire toward a system of society and learning where each person is able to rise to his or her fullest potential without social or financial encumberance, where they may express themselves fully and without reservation through art, writing, athletics, invention, or even through their avocations or lifestyle.
Where they are able to form networks of meaningful and rewarding relationships with their peers, with people who share the same interests or hobbies, the same political or religious affiliations - or different interests or affiliations, as the case may be.
This to me is a society where knowledge and learning are public goods, freely created and shared, not hoarded or withheld in order to extract wealth or influence. This is what I aspire toward, this is what I work toward.

Further Comments on http://subversivethinking.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/reply-to-professor-graham-oppys.htmlI shall restrict myself to one small comment on what is a very long post that covers a great deal of ground very quickly.In my previous post, I wrote this: "Question: Is there a first cause in causal reality? If so, then, causal reality begins with that first cause. Moreover, it might seem right to say that causal reality begins to exist with that first cause. (Of course, … [Read more...]
Part of a response to: http://subversivethinking.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/graham-oppy-on-successful-arguments.html The argument we have been given -- the kalam cosmological syllogism -- is this:1-Whatever begins to exist has a cause (of its beginning to exist) 2-The universe began to exist 3-Therefore, the universe has a cause (of its beginning to exist) Two immediate questions to ask when we come to assess it: (a) What lies in the scope of the quantifier in (1)? (b) What exactly do … [Read more...]
"The Argument from Reason" (2)
At 349, Reppert says: "We ought to draw the conclusion if we accept the premises of a valid argument".This is obviously wrong. Suppose, to take the worst case, that my beliefs contradict one another. If we are supposing classical logic -- as Reppert clearly is -- then, from my contradictory beliefs, using Reppert's principle, I ought to infer that every claim is true. But, even though there IS a valid argument from premises I accept to an absurd conclusion, I ought NOT to "draw" the absurd … [Read more...]
"The Argument from Reason"
A couple of comments on Reppert "The Argument from Reason" in Craig and Moreland (ed.) Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology, 344-90. (I have a long list; I may post further comments later.)1. At 368, Reppert argues: If the reference of our terms is indeterminate, then this has the disastrous consequence that we cannot reason to conclusions.This is surely wrong. Reasoning can be purely formal. (If all flombs are bloops, and all bloops are shimbs, then all flombs are shimbs. The reasoning is … [Read more...]
Distrust & Anti-Atheist Prejudice
Interesting new paper from Gervais, Shariff and Norenzayan:http://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~will/Gervais%20et%20al-%20Atheist%20Distrust.pdfThe experiments performed by Gervais et al. provide pretty convincing support for the thesis that anti-atheist prejudice manifests as distrust (rather than dislike, or disgust), and that it surfaces most strongly when the need for trust -- as opposed to say, likeability, or pleasantness -- is particularly salient. So, for example, prejudiced religious believers are … [Read more...]
God, Multi-verses, and Modal Realism

Ehem, attention Guild members. It's pleasing to see you all here, eager to test your skills on the field. As always, I will be the first person to tell you that while theory has its place, there is little that can replace the sheer satisfaction of performing experiments in a more raw environment. This dungeon provides us with a perfect opportunity to introduce elementary exercises to our newer members, as well as provide our more experienced members a chance to practice their disciplines.
The ever-shifting nature of dungeons ensures that skills of observation are of high demand. Every dungeon has a unique set of rules and phenomena, and in order to fully make sense of the senseless, we need to identify patterns and rules wherever possible. Once the Explorers have removed a majority of the distractions in our path, we will move in and start taking notes on the various phenomena present inside the dungeon walls. Once this expedition is over, we will pool all our research and attem

This puts lots of troubling problems in sharp relief in an artful, incredibly watchable format whereas the majority of the arguments about immigration, healthcare and also the rich versus the poor are in dense, boring prose.

Grizzlies take Game 3 over Thunder, 87-81, for 2-1 series lead
They pride themselves on grit and grind, the mantra that has become something of a civic motto.
If anything the Grizzlies have done this postseason embodied that, it was what happened at FedExForum on Saturday afternoon against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Out-rebounded by seven, outscored by 14 in the paint they usually patrol and with their star power forward struggling on offense, the Grizzlies still found a way to win, 87-81, over the Thunder, in front of an announced sellout crowd of 18,119 at FedExForum that roared in the final minutes.
It gave Memphis a 2-1 series lead and preserved its newfound home-court advantage heading into Monday's 8:30 p.m. Game 4 at FedExForum.
It also gave Memphis evidence of needed improvement.
"We'll take it, but it just goes to show we've got more work to do," said Mike Conley, who had 14 points and six assists.
Consider how many things had to happen — or what the Grizzlies had to overcome — to win:
-- With the Griz up 77-70 midway through the fourth quarter on back-to-back 3-pointers by Jerryd Bayless and Quincy Pondexter, the Thunder mounted an 11-4 run that silenced the towel-waving crowd on Derek Fisher's 3-pointer with 1:58 to play. It was one of a handful of moments when the Griz found a spurt that seemed to put the Thunder away, only to have Oklahoma City quickly respond.
-- Bayless missed a runner on the other end, giving the Thunder the ball with a chance to take the lead. But Reggie Jackson, starting at point guard in place of the injured Russell Westbrook, committed a charge.
-- Marc Gasol made two free throws on the next possession, which only set up Durant for the tie. But Durant, the consensus second-best player in the game and famously reliable in the closing minutes, missed a 7-footer after Tony Allen, assigned to guard him, tipped the ball just before Durant pulled up. In the fourth quarter alone, Durant missed three of four shots.
-- Durant missed two free throws with just under a minute remaining, the Grizzlies ahead by four.
With the game all but over, the FedExForum crowd roared as it hadn't the entire postseason.
They had things to celebrate, of course, like Gasol's 20 points, which came in periods of the second half in which he took over — and played with four fouls. There was Bayless, starting hot and contributing 11 off the bench, which contributed 29. And there was that trademark defense, holding Oklahoma City to 36-percent shooting.
The Grizzlies, though, know that in many ways they dodged a bullet.
"We just gutted it out," Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said. "We just stayed on them. We've been (that way) all year long — it's not always pretty."
Among the ugliness: Tayshaun Prince had a mere two points on 1-for-5 shooting. Zach Randolph had 10 rebounds but shot 4-for-12 and acknowledged afterward that he wasn't at his best.
Durant, who played 45 minutes and scored 25 points, said the Thunder actually "cleaned up some things from Game 2."
"Everything was good, other than we couldn't make a basket," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "Eighty-eight shot attempts and we got pretty good luck. We missed a couple easy, easy, easy (baskets). I wish we could get those same shots."
Oklahoma City continued to be hampered by Serge Ibaka's shooting. He was 6-for-17 and is 12-for-39 in the series.
Up 2-1, the Grizzlies say they're far from thinking everything's figured out.
"We've got a long ways to go," said Hollins, whose team will practice Sunday. "We've got to keep battling. We've got to play better on Monday."

Nueces County sheriff Democratic primary: Valencia hopes to draw on past law enforcement experience
CORPUS CHRISTI - Isaac Valencia has some experience in the driver's seat.
He served three terms as president of the Corpus Christi Police Officers Association, on top of three decades working at the Police Department.
Now he's hoping to bring what he learned to the Nueces County Sheriff's Office, running in the Democratic primary.
The winner will face Republican incumbent Sheriff Jim Kaelin.
Valencia said there's always room for improvement in law enforcement.
"It has to change or it will stay static," he said.Valencia has ideas for the county jail, which he hopes to consolidate with the city's detention center, creating a streamlined facility.
He hopes to be more visible as a sheriff, working more closely with outside agencies toward a common goal, he said.
Valencia has worked in the homicide, narcotics and patrol divisions, and had a stint as a hostage negotiator.
It taught him how to be a peacemaker, he said.
He also is rarely scared to stand up for his beliefs, even bringing a lawsuit against the department for what he said was discriminatory practices.
"I don't try to make the easy decisions," Valencia said. "I try to make the right ones."
If elected sheriff, Valencia aims to take a hard look at jail staffing and forced overtime, seeking cost-saving measures.
He hopes to create a culture of intelligence-led policing at the sheriff's office using data and crime statistics to drive patrols and calls for service. It's also a goal to offer more advancement opportunities for employees and promote within.
"This is my community, my family's here, I'm invested here," Valencia said. "I think I can be a good sheriff."
