Public Sculpture in Britain
~ A History
Geoff Archer
May 2013
The first book to chart the history of Public Sculpture in Britain is to be
published in 2013. It is intended for the 'man or woman in the street',
as well as scholars and artists, and uses British examples to show a number
of ideas of just what public sculpture can be.
Public Sculpture in Britain: A History, is educative and at the same time entertaining. It is full of art and ingenuity, yet for many readers its most useful quality might be clarity, even when recalling lost sculptures or untangling the last few decades with hundreds of new arrivals.
True to the subject, the pages echo controversy, iconoclasm and comments by the press. Differences of opinion are endemic with no single argument about style or location, but several, and none can be ignored. But it comes as a surprise to learn that this country has had so many sculptures destroyed – by angry mobs, by fire and even by scorn. As for the Press, though some might recoil, it seems that editors and critics of The Times, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, Guardian, et al have worked in the public interest, provoking debate and urging the public to review its (our) sculptures. So quotes and headlines, valid or laughable in hindsight, are included.
The author, Geoff Archer, is a practising artist, art historian and former art teacher who took on the task of assessing the tidal wave of figurative sculptures on 1st World War Memorials in The Glorious Dead (Frontier 2009). His writing is well-organised, presenting public sculpture not by era or location, but by theme and purpose in a logical structure of seven chapters – see Contents (click blue title). Arranged in and around the text, photographs of every sort of sculpture create a stream of visual impressions. We see statues of kings and queens, equestrian generals, inventors and authors. There are sombre war memorials with allegorical figures and later 'sculpitecture', and modernist works in new towns, with concrete cones and steel-mesh abstracts. The pictures continue with conceptual and comic sculptures, 'Fourth plinthers' and giant or landmark figures. By now we can see how we arrived at this point in the continuing story of public sculpture.

You Say You Want a Revolution…

Consensus says… Being anti-social not an option. With social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Youtube massively changing the way businesses interact with their market, the future of business IS SOCIAL. There will not be an option. Those choosing to stay out of it will disappear. Why? Because Trust and Credibility, accompanied by top of mind awareness will win customers every time over.
The "In" Crowd Is The E-Crowd. Don't believe me? 93% of the worlds population under the age of 40 have joined a social media group. In fact,
If Facebook were a country it would be the 3rd largest in the world:
1. China
2. India
3. Facebook
Whoa! Right? I can go on… Twitter averages 50 million status updates a day – 20% of those updates reference a product or a service. The math on that — 10 Million tweets. That's a lotta tweets and potential transactions! And like we told you before, video is the new black. The average internet user watches over 12hrs of video online per month. YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world. It's the 4th most visited site online.
Mixing Business w/ Pleasure. It's not just about being cool, it's about credibility. 90% of people trust the recommendations other consumers over advertising. People want information but they don't want to be sold, they want to feel empowered by their choices and what makes them feel empowered is not only feel like they are making the choice, but that EVERYBODY'S doing it.
News You Can Use. Some of the largest challenges people have when trying to market their business through social media is where to start. According to marketing execs @twitter there are 4 Simple Steps to Social Media Success:
2. Deliver quality content
3. Capture information
4. Stay in touch
Focus, Focus, Focus. You can pick and choose where you want to play out these steps, or make it easy on yourself by using the three most popular sites to suss out your audience.
Use their provided search tools to find people interested in your product or service from the:
- 355 million FaceBookers
- 35 million business people on Linked-In
- 50 million people on Twitter
Wikipedia says that "A study by the University of Maryland suggested that social media services may be addictive, and that users of social media services leads to a "fear of missing out"
We grow up, some things change. Some things don't. (#1 Activity on the web == Social Media grx)
So that's just a nugget from the mountain of information about social media practices.
All This Fear Can Go Ahead and Kiss My Courageass!

The same with adding tcpserver -u 2850 -g 32750 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & to my inetd.conf file, since qmail docs do not refer to using tcpserver over inetd.conf to start qmail.

text: It sucks that it movie will be the second-all time grosser, because if you adjust regarding inflation, it doesnt come anywhere all-around Star Wars or Rms titanic. Actually, when people adjust regarding inflation, "The Black Knight" grossed just over HALF the money that "A Seem of Music" grossed! Batman does not even come all-around Julie Andrews as far as a bring! Its hard to think this motion picture got while popular the way it did. Being a brand new Batman film helped, as well because the incredible nonsense around it. Again – all of that hype, and that still made Half what "A Sound of Music" would! The various other superhero flick around that period, Iron Guy, blows Dim Knight apart without actually trying. Who could have known of which lowly Iron Man might have had his very own movie one day, and that hed defeat the almighty Batman in to the ground? What any shame, The Darkish Knight staying so popular as it is. If you will discover more Batman videos, lets wish that a few stuff truly happens inside it and its not such a tremendous mess. I have got only study three comedian books having Batman. Every single at least one is genuine genius. When My spouse and i read these comics My partner and i recognized myself at midnight knight. Which is quite good. If most of us compare The actual dark dark night and Batman permanently, I can easily say how the dark dark night wins which battle very easy. I will have only go through three comics but the many comics Weve read do you, like We said, recognize myself at night knight along with Batman Will begin, but definitely not Batman Permanently or Batman & Robin. Maybe it is just a little indicate to examine Nolans a pair of masterpieces to help Schumachers two disgusting and so called Batman movies. With less difficult words, Scumachers batman motion pictures sucked. This will be, my view, the finest comic guide movie ever. I may also say its mostly among the best movies I have ever witnessed! When My partner and i say that it is the greatest comic ebook movie ever, Im saying i always cant imagine that its coming an improved comic guide movie when compared with this, that will be something I do believe is extremely hard. The black knight includes great celebrities like Religious Bale, Heath Ledger who died of overdose, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman whos one among my individual favorites as well as, Morgan Freeman that is a fantastic professional. Its been lots of talk concerning Heath Ledgers wonderful performance because the Joker. The Joker is certainly one of the most popular villains. And heath Journal is stunning, so good, so beneficial. I thought that nobody would beat Marlon Brandos excellent acting inside the godfather nevertheless Heath Ledgers performance is as great as Marlon Brando I believe. I are unable to decide which of those performances is best. Its so hard. But Heath Ledger is great in addition to he makes each and every scenes he has in. Everything he or she does simply just clicks. Some in the people say we who enjoy Heath Ledgers acting at midnight knight merely loving that because he has dead. Which is certainly not genuine. We adore Heath Journal for precisely what he performed, what he be capable of do. We didt start loving Heath Journal until he or she did This joker. Why? Because he or she is so impressive. I never payed as often attention i should include before he did This Joker, I payed care about him while he passed away too. But of which didt created him an improved actor, until he / she did The particular joker. Heath Journal became a great acting the almighty for what he did while using the joker. This Movie provides improvement over Batman will begin. But not by far. Batman begins is a wonderful movie plus it Had somethings which the dark knight didt. I overlooked the Wayne Tower slightly, I missed them that makes Gotham absolutely Gotham. But The actual dark knight is engaging, excellent, magnificent, the Witty book video god. A Godfather two to witty book shows. First of, let me start by declaring that Christopher Nolan is usually a director to watch out for. With each movie he is producing and directing, he is usually proving himself becoming a man connected with great intellect as well as the craftsmanship of an virtuoso. We found him define the most ideal Batman in the movie Batman Begins. And at this point we notice him define the optimal Joker inside movie The actual Dark Dark night. In comparison to all other superheroes, Batman sticks out as unique and unique. So, it isnt easy to deal with the deeper tasks of the Batman. Nolan did this having finesse along with burdened himself to meet the anticipations. And boy oh son, has he delivered. It is utterly useless to get a great director using a poor toss. A few people doing good yet others doing average is really a disaster inside making. A great movie has become great as it was an instant in record where many talent had been combined in a very perfect manner to be able to produce the best product. The Dark Knight is the sort of good article.

Earlier this week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its latest look at the U.S. federal budget over the very long-term, all the way out to 2089. And although budget projections, especially ones that go out that far, are inherently uncertain, they nevertheless provide important information about the most likely effects of the current budgetary path. The information that the CBO provided can be interpreted in two, equally important, equally legitimate, and completely compatible ways. First, it would be perfectly accurate to look at this week's projections and be encouraged by how much progress has been made toward a more secure fiscal future, especially compared to the situation just a few years ago. But it would also be perfectly reasonable to look at this week's projections and see an unsustainable path that, without action, will lead to a fiscal danger zone that the country has never before experienced. These two interpretations are not mutually exclusive, and in fact, both are important to understanding the choices facing the nation.
First and foremost, this week's report confirms recent CBO projections that, over the medium-term the federal budget outlook is quite stable. Deficits are expected to remain at relatively manageable levels through the end of this decade, and debt is projected to remain roughly constant, as a share of gross domestic product. But over the longer-term, deficits are expected to rise again to unsustainable levels, and debt is projected to grow to the size of the entire U.S. economy by 2036.
This week's report actually represents incredible improvement from the most widely-used and often-cited projections from four years ago. In 2010, the "Simpson-Bowles" fiscal commission cited a CBO report that showed debt reaching 194 percent of GDP by 2036, nearly twice as high as current projections. That enormous improvement has been driven by several main factors. First, the 2010 projections cited by most budget analysts assumed that all of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts—commonly known as the Bush Tax Cuts—would be extended permanently, including those that benefited just the very richest households. Instead, Congress allowed some of those tax cuts to expire for households making more than $450,000 ($400,000 for individuals). Second, the United States has recently enjoyed a dramatic and consequential slowdown in the rising cost of health care. In fact, since 2010, the CBO has reduced its ten-year projections of federal spending on federal health care programs for the period from 2011-2020 by more than $1 trillion. Thirdly, a series of spending bills that capped and otherwise limited annual appropriations also served to significantly reduce CBO's expectations of future federal spending in that category. Together, these three factors combined to produce an enormous and undeniable improvement in the long-term fiscal outlook.
Just as undeniable, however, is that despite the recent improvement, this week's projections still showed the country walking a very troubling path. Historically, federal debt held by the public peaked in 1946, just after the conclusion of World War II, at 106 percent of GDP. CBO's current projections have the U.S. surpassing that record by 2040, on the way to unprecedented—and unsustainable—levels of debt in the subsequent years and decades.
Not only is it possible to interpret the latest budget projections in these two ways, it is absolutely critical to do so. To continue this steady progress on the long-term fiscal outlook, policymakers need to understand the scope of the problem and build on recent successes. That means responsible reforms to further slow the growth of health care costs. It means a commitment to a fairer, more efficient and responsible tax code no longer littered with special tax breaks that benefit the very wealthy. And it means building on recent bipartisan efforts such as the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 that made tough choices on both sides of the ledger while also accommodating critical investments in jobs, education, research and infrastructure. It is in the recognition of what has worked so far that much of the solution to the remaining challenges can be found.

I sometimes cut 'cause I cant feel, or for long enough.
My emotions fail me, I cant hold a grudge - but more importantly,
I cant feel love...
It scares me to be to be so numb,
and I wonder if something's wrong,
so I check with my blade,
to make sure i work.

He says the shock of it all still hasn't worn off. Now, the police officer who lost control of his cruiser and ended up in a violent crash is speaking out.
The cruiser hit a fence, a telephone pole, and a tree. But amazingly, Versailles Police Officer Kenny Rodgers walked away with hardly any injuries.
"It could have been a whole lot worse then what it was, so I'm very thankful," said Rodgers.
Officer Rodgers was responding to a domestic violence call Tuesday morning when he lost control of his cruiser around a sharp curve on Kentucky Highway 33.
"When I rounded the curve, there was a large truck with an enclosed trailer that was coming towards me, over the line," Rodgers said.
He says to avoid clipping the trailer, he shifted to the right, causing the rear of his cruiser to leave the roadway.
"And the next thing you know, I'm headed straight for the fence, telephone pole, and tree," he said.
Those are the three things responsible for a majority of fatalities in Woodford County, according to police.
"I tell everyone it's absolutely positively not in my control that I came out OK," said Rodgers.
Rodgers says it was the type of call that had him responding so quickly.
"There's a sense of urgency anytime your trying to get to a domestic violence call. Especially in this case, where the disturbance was in progress," Rodgers said.
A loving husband and father of three, Rodgers says he takes those calls seriously. Not only is he thankful he made it out with just a few cuts and bruises, he's also grateful, no one else was hurt.
"It ended better than it could have and I'm just happy to be home with my family," Rodgers ended.
A spokesman for the Versailles Police Department said several officer's did respond to the original 'domestic disturbance' call. It was resolved peacefully without any arrests or injuries.
Officer Rodgers is also an Army Reservist. He says after a few days of recovering, he plans to head back to work.

Meeting the environmental challenge vital for consumers to continue to benefit from strong choice and good value in aviation

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) today said that aviation's sustainable development does not have to be held back by a deadlock between its economic and its environmental impact.
The aviation regulator set out its view in Aviation Policy for the Environment, the second of three Insight Notes the CAA is publishing to help the Government frame its aviation policy for consultation next Spring. The Insight Note covers the environmental impact of aviation on carbon emissions, noise and local air quality.
The CAA identifies that current capacity problems in the South East have partly been caused by an inability to move beyond local community concerns over aviation noise, which highlights the need for a radical approach to the issue to allow capacity increases.
Iain Osborne, CAA Group Director of Regulatory Policy, said: "To be able to develop sustainably aviation has to embrace and tackle both the noise nuisance that impacts communities around airports and climate change caused by carbon emissions.
"Dealing with the noise issue demands a two-sided approach. We need to consider how to reduce noise, but also recognise that it will still have a big impact on people living close to airports. So Government noise policy must find ways to help airport owners and local communities to engage more constructively on noise.
"On climate change the ideal solution is global, but an EU-wide approach is a highly valuable transition. We advise the Government to continue to push for a global emissions trading scheme and support the inclusion of aviation in the EU Emissions Trading System and to set up a policy framework that supports industry in further technological and operational solutions to reduce noise. There is also an important role for the CAA in providing trusted, reliable information to consumers about CO2 emissions performance to drive improvements."
The Note focuses on aviation noise nuisance and aviation's climate change impacts, where the CAA has considerable experience, and suggests ways forward for Government. The other major environmental issue aviation must address is Local Air Quality, which is not covered in detail as it is not a current area of CAA expertise.
Aviation Noise
Aviation noise is likely to be a significant concern surrounding the development of any new capacity, which is likely to be vital to secure choice and value for consumers in future. To meet that concern and manage sustainable capacity development anywhere in the UK will require Government to lead a more constructive and inclusive debate on aviation noise than is happening at present.
Noise is a local issue and policies need to be applicable at the local level to provide a robust platform for the aviation policy. The CAA recommends an approach to aviation noise within the policy that focuses both on reducing the numbers of people affected by noise and encouraging industry to better engage with their local communities to try to create consensus in support of sustainable development.
The CAA suggests it may be possible to set out a noise limit for airports, within which growth would be allowed, to reflect that it is aircraft noise that damages local communities' quality of life rather than aircraft themselves, so where noise is reduced, flight numbers could be allowed to increase.
Aviation noise at Heathrow has reduced significantly over time, with technological improvements mitigating increasing flight frequency. The numbers of people affected dropped by 60% between 1988 and 2010 and the total area affected shrank by two-thirds. However, in spite of these reductions Heathrow still accounts for more than one in four people in Europe affected by aviation noise.
Climate Change
On climate change the CAA suggest that without a global 'cap and trade' scheme, the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme is the next best option for meeting the carbon challenge. What's more, there are significant benefits to be drawn from operational and technical measures to combat climate change, such as modernising airspace. Initiatives which the CAA worked on include new green incentives for NATS, pioneering the Future Airspace Strategy and promoting Continuous Descent Approaches and Continuous Climb Departures.

Thank you SO MUCH for writing such an excellent, thoughtful and helpful book. [The Raw Food Diet and Your Compromised Teeth]. You helped me look at my situation as a big picture and not from any extreme viewpoint that could have devastating consequences as well.
Just finished purchasing, downloading, and reading Raw Food Diet and Your Compromised Teeth. Thanks to the author for not "sugar-coating" the truth (bad pun intended!). I was at times exhilarated (finally, someone who's "been there!"), and then depressed (are implants inevitable no matter what I do?). My dental situation seems worse than Tonya's when she started…
Like Tonya, all I can do is start from here and now. I hope she's wrong when she says superior health could cause only a small cavity to remineralize naturally. Why not a larger one, or larger problem? When skin is cut, all other things being equal, it'll scab over whether small or large. Maybe wishful thinking on my part…Again, thanks for a great book. I can feel Tonya's caring in its pages, and also in the way she lays out her website.
Thank you so much for the e-book – The Raw Food Diet and Your Compromised Teeth. I downloaded it and enjoying the book. Looking forward to receiving my order as well. Tonya's products are great! She offers so much wonderful information to keep us on the right track with raw living. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I had twelve root canals and started to have them out but only got as far as having four removed before I ended up in the hospital. Having the rest removed is no longer an option for me because of my reactions so finding your e-book on dental care is a real gift. I really appreciate hearing that you are thriving with root canals because it gives me hope that I can as well.
I also would like to send you my testimonial that I also had good results from implementing some of your tips in your "Compromised Teeth" book. When I went to see my dentist for a check up in January 2010 he looked at my last x-ray from May 2009 and then in my mouth and said "where are the pockets, there hardly any?". Your "Compromised Teeth" book was very informative and I'm still to implement your other tips with time. Thank you for writing, I hope there will be more books coming with time, your research is second to none.
Tonya, I've been reading since yesterday and I am loving "The Raw food Diet and Your Compromised Teeth"…you really think of every aspect of health! Thanks for all your books.

The EOS 40D's kit options vary depending on your region. Europe and Australasia have the sensible choice of either the new EF-S 18-55mm IS or the popular EF-S 17-85mm IS USM, while America has the somewhat curious option of the EF 28-135mm IS USM.
Image parameters (contd.)
The sharpness setting of zero appears to mean 'apply no sharpening at all', hence this is the image as captured (soft because of the anti-alias filter). The default setting for Standard Picture Style is two and three for Landscape.
|Sharpness: 0 (Neutral and Faithful default)
|Sharpness: 1
|Sharpness: 2 (Portrait default)
|Sharpness: 3 (Standard and Monochrome default)
|Sharpness: 4 (Landscape default)
|Sharpness: 5
|Sharpness: 6
|Sharpness: 7
Contrast adjustment
Adjusting the tone alters the shape of the 'S curve' used to map the linear image data captured by the sensor into the correct gamma. A lower contrast setting maintains more of the original data's dynamic range but leads to a flatter looking image. A higher contrast setting stretches the grayscale (dark to light) of the image and could lead to clipping of both shadow detail and highlights. The EOS 40D provides a wide range of adjustment with nine steps from -4 to +4.

Monarch butterfly educator Kathy McGrath offered a free butterfly presentation in McGregor's Triangle Park on July 20. McGrath taught the audience of roughly 50 people how to find, care for and identify monarch butterflies, as well as how to tag, release and track them. Since the butterfly population migrating back to the area from Mexico is down 59 percent this year, McGrath said she has had very few butterflies to release this summer. However, despite the lower numbers, she managed to bring five butterflies, which she helped children in the audience release. (Photo by Audrey Posten)

they bred once, i saw about 3 insertions by the male. they sat in opposite ends of the deli cups, and first the male drummed.. then the female... then the male... then the female... so on and so forth. each time the male drummed, he got about .5" closer, until finally he found the female, breeding proved to be very good (as far as successful insertions go), but VERY brief... afterwards, female chased the male off.
hopefully the next session will be as good as this one

"Tour Edge Bazooka GeoMax Driver For many golfers, hitting straight tee shots is a constant struggle. Problem solved. Now golfers can hit straighter and longer drives with the Bazooka GeoMax driver. Max out your drives through performance enhancing geometry. Featuring to-the-limit dimensions, the GeoMax offers an unprecedented level of control through a revolutionary geometric design. To-the-limit dimensions and a fixed 20-gram tungsten rear sole weight reposition the GeoMax's center of gravity deeper and lower in the head. This position dramatically increases the M.O.I. of the GeoMax to an incredible 5,000 g/cm2. With the GeoMax, a balance has been struck between performance and appealing looks. We've moved the center of gravity lower and deeper than ever before by pushing the legal limits of the breadth-to-face-length ratio to .974. Superior to traditional design specifications, this ratio delivers beefed up accuracy and forgiveness for heart-pounding drives. The addition of a 20-gram tungsten sole weight places the center of gravity low and deep into the driver's head for a higher launch and an unprecedented level of control. The GeoMax's astounding control is the result of a superior moment of inertia (MOI). One of the highest MOI drivers available, the GeoMax boasts a whopping MOI of 5,000 g/cm2. Bottom line - this club's ability to keep your ball in the fairway is stunning! If you have any questions about this product or would like to order by phone, please call us Toll Free at 888-733-8383. We look forward to hearing from you!"

Scott Horton Interviews Anthony Gregory
Anthony Gregory, Editor in Chief of Campaign for Liberty, discusses Murray Rothbard's book Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy (with an introduction by Anthony Gregory); banks and the war machine, closely collaborating since the 1800s; shattering the left-right paradigm and finding the intersection of corporate power and public corruption; why the US economic system is not now, and has never been, based on unfettered free market capitalism; and how the state apparatus attracts those seeking power and privilege, putting the lie to the Marxist theory of capturing government to "help the little guy."

Because "not having big government" == "Somalia" (which presumably, is a shithole)?
Only hard-core lefties can think that.
They bemoan Big Corporation or the Military/Security/Surveillance Complex (which exist only because of Big Governement, or is indistinguishable from Big Government in the first place), then, not unlike Hitler worshippers, turn around and crave for some "popular" and proletariat-upgrading Stalinism-Leninism. Which somehow is _not_ Big Government unless you are starving in one of the death camps after a neighbour fingered you for sabotaging productivity, I suppose.
Seems like them lefties are just the usual jerks who just don't like it they are not on the inside but would very much like to be so as to tell other how to lead their lives, amirite?
Somalia's problems are mainly absence of capital infrastructure and perpetual civil war with colonialist meddling. And even then, there is optimism:
http://mises.org/daily/2066 — Stateless in Somalia, and Loving It
@eCAHNomics, ever read Kolko? http://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Conservatism-Gabrie…
"Only hard-core lefties can think that."
I'd disagree. I saw literally the exact same strawman was used over and over during the Bush Jr era by the GOP to try and shut down Libertarian leaning members GOP. You could take a time machine back to 2003, copy-paste eCAHNomics' comment onto FreekRepublic, and end up with a 10 page thread where everyone agrees with him.
Love of the state knows very few political bounds. The statist is no ally. Never has been and never will be.
E- CON-job-omics: you must join Obama's military team to show your support for unfettered big government in action — financed by looting the domestic taxpayers — on an international stage. Join now, don't delay — loot your local treasury and you might even be able to kill a few actual terrorists along with the civilians.
"why the US economic system is not now, and has never been, based on unfettered free market capitalism"
that's easy – in a truly unregulated market, slaves are up for sale faster than you can blink – fettered people and free markets are two sides of the same coin.
Fascinating. For a site that presumably is devoted to libertarian values, there is an awful lot of official dogma and outright dismissal of anyone who disagrees. If the only freedom of thought that libertarians allow is the freedom to believe exactly as they do, then I see very little difference in the end with any other authoritarian structure. I agree fully with the antiwar sentiment but there seems to be an underlying bitterness that comes through in several interviews, like this one, that gives me pause.
Not that I'm naive enough to believe this will convince you, but I'll rebut your comment any way. A basic understanding of Somali history would tell you differently. Somalia isn't a basket case because it lacks a state (I can think of three different state/state-like entities operating at the moment within what is designated Somalia, and I'm sure there are more) it has been destroyed by the state, or more accurately, multiple states within and without the country. It's been in a perpetual state of war for at least my entire life, which has always involved competition for control of the central state. International state agreements on the "law" of the sea, allowed foreign companies with state connections to loot the fish-stock, destroying the main resource of the regions economy. (one of the major rationales for the pirates.) Somalia is not an argument for central power, but a demonstration of the evils of the state.
I would also point out that some investigation would likely yield the knowledge that many Somalis outside of contested areas have seen marked improvements in their livelihoods since the Somali state and other factions has vacated those areas. Its still a horrible place to live, but you must compare like to like. You cannot compare a war torn region that had never seen much technological growth after generations of harsh rule, to a modernized western nation that has not felt the touch of war on its own soil in living memory. The analogy is a fallacious one.
Libertarians believe in unlimited freedom of thought, but being free to believe something does not necessarily make that belief worthy of respect. For example, you're free to think that the moon is actually a giant ball of mozzarella cheese, but if you go around expressing that belief, it's unlikely that many rational people will take you seriously.
Or, for a less hypothetical example, take the absurd comment about free markets allowing for slavery. Benjamin is certainly free to spout such drivel, but he really shouldn't expect anyone to take him seriously, or to even waste time rebutting such an obviously fallacious argument.
"I'd disagree. I saw literally the exact same strawman was used over and over during the Bush Jr era by the GOP to try and shut down Libertarian leaning members GOP."
Same here. These morons think throwing out the non-argument of Somalia ends the debate. They need to learn to actually start thinking. Yes, I know you statists have a serious problem with that but at least TRY thinking for yourselves for once and stop mouthing television and government school taught platitudes for once. Is it really that hard? Sheesh.
Well as far as that goes pretty much every political group supports freedom of thought with only a few exceptions (curiously Jefferson wrote that sedition in thought alone should be a punishable offense). It is the freedom of expressing those thoughts that matters and then, yes, people can decide for themselves whether idea x is worth taking seriously or not. That, however, is not what quite I was referring to in my post.
When one makes blanket judgments about "everyone on the left" or the "right" or any other large group of people, it is not because of a valid criticism it is about rejecting any outside view no matter how well founded or researched. It is about making a line between a mythical "us" and a mythical "them". I, for one, always fail loyalty tests.
To reject all of Karl Marx's work, which took decades to compile with the single word "naive" does not require critical thinking, it does not do justice to the work and it does not promote thoughtful debate. Instead the purpose of such a dismissal is to inform all of the faithful what their official view ought to be on the subject, no need to read it yourself and if you disagree you clearly do not have a thought in your head. Such attitudes do not tend to encourage participation, but rather adulation or silence. Additionally such a dismissal smacks of hypocrisy when the main complaint libertarians appear to have is that they are not taken seriously – while they simultaneously dismiss all other world views. That is a road that goes in two directions.
In the end, being a natural contrarian, I always bristle when someone tells me what to think. Present me with facts and I will make up my own mind on each issue I consider important, and I expect others to do the same. Tell me what my conclusion ought to be and what I hear is "You are too stupid to make up your own mind so let me do it for you".
"Present me with facts."
That would do little good. Believe me, I've debated enough morons to know.
I like Anthony. It seems that you need a little more variety in people. here.
I think you misunderstood what Anthony and Scott said about Marx. If you listen carefully, you'll notice that they did not dismiss "all" of his work. In fact, they gave him credit for correctly diagnosing the problem (i.e. understanding how it is only by using the power of the state that capitalists are able to exploit the working class). It was only Marx's proposed solution (to try to harness the power of the state and use it against the ruling class) that they criticized as "naive".
Also, it's worth noting that it really doesn't matter how long it took Marx to develop his theories. They are either correct or incorrect, regardless of how much work he put into them. Similarly, it may have taken Hitler a long time to write "Mein Kampf", but that fact alone does not lend any credibility to the ideas expressed therein.
Great blog, all posts have something to learn. Your work is very good and i appreciate you and hopping for some more informative posts. Keep writing http://www.choice-loans.co.uk/merchant-cash-advan…

From left: Former New York Giant Lee Rouson, New Jersey Assemblyman David Rible, R-Monmouth, and former New York Jet Joe Klecko speak during the press conference at the Breakers in Spring Lake on plans by the Shore tourism industry to capitalize on the 2014 Super Bowl. / MIKE MCLAUGHLIN/SPECIAL TO THE PRESS
SPRING LAKE — Super Bowl visitors who are priced out of Manhattan�s hotel rooms and restaurants this February should turn their attention south, where the Jersey Shore, rebuilding from superstorm Sandy, could use their business, the Shore�s tourism advocates said Monday.
The group, featuring former New York Jet Joe Klecko and New York Giant Lee Rouson, said the idea isn�t far-fetched. The Shore is less than an hour away from MetLife Stadium. It has transportation that delivers fans to its door. And it has experience with big-time events, including the Breeder�s Cup.
�People may believe that being in Monmouth County down the Shore may actually hurt them as far as activity with the Super Bowl,� Klecko, a Colts Neck resident, said. �I think that�s so wrong. This will be a great place to gather.� Click on the thumbnail image above to watch a video of Klecko sounding off on what the Super Bowl may bring for local business.
The news conference at The Breakers hotel here was aimed at helping the Shore take a piece of the Super Bowl XLVIII�s estimated $550 million economic impact generated by thousands of visitors � from fans of the teams to corporate bigwigs.
The Shore surely could use the boost. Its businesses lost up to two weeks of revenue when Sandy swept through the region last October. And as Memorial Day and the kickoff to summer edges closer, the prospects for the coming tourism season are anyone�s guess.
The Breakers, for example, lost power for almost two weeks and needed new siding after Sandy, said Shannon Costanzo, director of sales. But it avoided flooding that devastated businesses in nearby towns.
�To have the Super Bowl is a fabulous opportunity to expose the Jersey Shore and to show everyone we�re back in business after Sandy,� Costanzo said.
The Super Bowl, scheduled for Feb. 2 in the Meadowlands, is notable for being the first to be played outdoors in a cold-weather location. But there has been no small amount of jousting between New Jersey and New York over who gets top billing.
The NFL�s Super Bowl logo, which will be used for the game, features Manhattan buildings flanking MetLife Stadium.
Elected officials said the Shore�s hotels, at least, should be filled. Assemblyman David P. Rible, R-Monmouth, said he attended a recent Super Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., and stayed 45 minutes away from the stadium. The hotel wasn�t noted for its opulence, but it still managed to charge $350 a night.
Not that the Shore will have an easy time attaching itself to the Super Bowl bandwagon. The NFL keeps tight control over who can use the name and logo, said Robert Hilton, executive director of the Jersey Shore Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Hilton said he plans to meet with the Super Bowl�s host committee this week to see if the Shore can have a more official role.
It was left to Rouson, a former University of Colorado running back who won two Super Bowl rings with the Giants, and Klecko, who never made it to the big game, but watched his son Dan win three rings, to make what they think is an easy case.
Hotels, restaurants and transportation: �These things will resonate with people coming here,� Klecko said.

NEW PHILADELPHIA — An oil and gas lease agreement reached between the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District and Antero Resources, of Colorado, covering 6,700 acres in the Seneca Lake area of Guernsey and Noble counties ensures there will be no well pads, roads or pipelines on or within a half-mile of watershed property.
The watershed board was presented with the lease agreement to review Friday and could approve it Feb. 15. Property owners in the affected area will be able to comment on the proposed lease and have their thoughts considered before the board votes.
Financial terms of the deal still are being worked out.
The agreement also allows for the board to review Anteros well development plans, including placement of well pads, roads and pipelines; erosion and sedimentation plans, safety and site engineering plans; access to construction sites before, during and after drilling; and enforce light and sound controls to reduce impact to the lake community.
The MWCD previously signed similar lease agreements in 2011 with Gulfport Energy for property near Clendening Lake in Harrison County and 2012 with Chesapeake Energy for property near Leesville Lake in Carroll County.

Mark Sanford said Wednesday morning that he had been watching the end of the Super Bowl with his youngest son the night his ex-wife Jenny Sanford accused him of trespassing.
The AP published details Tuesday night of the Feb. 3 incident after obtaining documentation from the former couple's sealed divorce papers. Mark Sanford is less than three weeks from a May 7 special election for his old Charleston-based U.S. House seat. Read More »
When he came into office in 2009, President Barack Obama saw the Super Bowl as a chance to ease partisan tensions in Washington. For the big game that year between the Steelers and the Cardinals, the president hosted a large Super Bowl party that included 15 senators and congressmen, Republicans and Democrats alike.
At the time, a White House spokesman portrayed the guest list as part of a strategic effort to reach across the aisle.
The president, former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said at the time, believed that time spent with Republicans "is a worthy investment of his time."
These days? Maybe not so much. Read More »
The Clint Eastwood ad during the Super Bowl is causing a stir in political circles.
Our colleague Steve Goldstein at MarketWatch writes at the Political Watch blog:
It could be viewed as a simple celebration of the recovery of bankrupt Chrysler. But the political overtones were easy to see as well: "Halftime in America" could be interpreted as a rallying call for a second term for President Barack Obama, who pushed ahead with a bailout of Chrysler and General Motors (read more on GM's financial results on WSJ.com) despite objections from Republicans, including his likely presidential opponent, Mitt Romney.
"Saving the America Auto Industry: Something Eminem and Clint Eastwood can agree on," tweeted Dan Pfeiffer, the White House spokesman. Added David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist: "Powerful spot." Filmmaker Michael Moore was a bit more direct (and apologies for the Twitterese): "Your sermon seemed 2 b a call 2 give O his 'second half.'"
The former Republican mayor of Carmel, Calif. wasn't universally loved. "WTH? Did I just see Clint Eastwood fronting an auto bailout ad???" said Michelle Malkin, the conservative blogger. "I think Clint Eastwood's credentials as a conservative have been overrated for some time," added David Limbaugh, the brother of Rush and himself a conservative author.
You can judge for yourself. Here's the ad, which has been blocked by YouTube after the NFL alleged a copyright infringement.
President Barack Obama Sunday said he is confident that the U.S. will be able to work with the country's next government, and stopped short of calling for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's immediate departure.
"We can say that the time is now for you to start making a change in that country," Mr. Obama said in an interview with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly broadcast ahead of the Super Bowl.
The roughly 15 minute interview at the White House also touched on health care, Mr. Obama's views of the challenges of his office, and whether he cared about the game. On the last issue, he assured Mr. O'Reilly that he "knows football" and intended to watch the game closely, even if he had no favorite. Once the game starts, Mr. Obama said, he didn't want people disturbing him with "chitting and chatting."
Mr. O'Reilly started out with questions on Egypt, where President Hosni Mubarak has said he would not run for re-election this fall but has rebuffed opposition demands that he step down immediately. Mr. Obama downplayed concerns that the Muslim Brotherhood could take power and install a government hostile to U.S. interests. Read More »
MANITOWOC, Wis. – To the uninitiated, the autographed Packers jersey presented by Green Bay Mayor James J. Schmitt was standard fare for a visiting commander in chief, especially a fan of the hated Chicago Bears just down the road.
But the message of the jersey, with the "Woodson 21" on the back, was pretty pointed.
"See you at the White House….Go Packers!"
The reference was to a pep talk All-Pro cornerback Charles Woodson gave to the Pack after they defeated the Bears Sunday to win a trip to Super Bowl 45. Mr. Obama had promised he would go to the Super Bowl, if the Bears — his hometown team–went.
Mr. Woodson rallied his teammates, "The president don't want to come watch us win the Super Bowl? Guess what? We'll go see him."
It was a reference to the traditional trip of the Super Bowl victor to the White House, but in these political times, it took on more significance. Conservative webmeister Matt Drudge posted the video under a headline declaring that Mr. Woodson had dissed the president. Yahoo Sports called it a "dig" at Mr. Obama.
For his part, the president took it in stride. He looked at the jersey, turned to reporters and declared, "They're rubbing it in." Read More »
Bill O'Reilly, the conservative http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/oreilly/index.html host of Fox News, is following in the footsteps of NBC's Matt Lauer (2009) and CBS's Katie Couric (2010) – interviewing President Barack Obama ahead of the NFL Super Bowl on Feb. 6.
The Super Bowl interview, confirmed by a Fox News spokeswoman, is somewhat of a tradition, and this year, Fox Sports has Super Bowl broadcast rights. Fox is owned by News Corp. as is The Wall Street Journal.
In September 2008, Mr. Obama, then a senator from Illinoiis and the Democrats' presidential nominee, sat down for an extensive interview with Mr. O'Reilly on a range of topics from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to the economy and taxes, to the campaign controversy over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Read More »

|The independent role of cyclic flexure in the early in vitro development of an engineered heart valve tissue.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15207464 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Tissue engineered heart valves (TEHV) are being investigated as an alternative to current non-viable prosthetic valves and valved conduits. Studies suggest that pulse duplicator bioreactors can stimulate TEHV development. In the current study, a model system was used to determine if cyclic flexure, a major mode of heart valve deformation, has independent effects on TEHV cell and extracellular matrix (ECM) development. Ovine vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) were seeded for 30 h onto strips of non-woven 50:50 polyglycolic acid (PGA) and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffold. After 4 days of incubation, SMC-seeded and unseeded scaffolds were either maintained under static conditions (static group), or subjected to unidirectional cyclic three-point flexure at a physiological frequency and amplitude in a bioreactor (flex group) for 3 weeks. After seeding or incubation, the effective stiffness (E) was measured, with SMC-seeded scaffolds further characterized by DNA, collagen, sulfated glycosaminoglycan (S-GAG), and elastin content, as well as by histology. The seeding period was over 90% efficient, with a significant accumulation of S-GAG, no significant change in E, and no collagen detected. Following 3 weeks of incubation, unseeded scaffolds exhibited no significant change in E in the flex or static groups. In contrast, E of SMC-seeded scaffolds increased 429% in the flex group (p<0.01) and 351% in the static group (p<0.01), with a trend of increased E, a 63% increase in collagen (p<0.05), increased vimentin expression, and a more homogenous transmural cell distribution in the flex versus static group. Moreover, a positive linear relationship (r2=0.996) was found between the mean E and mean collagen concentration. These results show that cyclic flexure can have independent effects on TEHV cell and ECM development, and may be useful in predicting the mechanical properties of TEHV constructed using novel scaffold materials.

|Founder of Adidas
Adolf "Adi" Dassler (born 3 November 1900 in Herzogenaurach, Kingdom of Bavaria, German Empire; died 6 September 1978 in Herzogenaurach, West Germany) was the founder of the German sportswear company Adidas and the younger brother of Rudolf Dassler, founder of Puma.
Trained as a cobbler, Adi Dassler started to produce his own sports shoes in his mother's laundry after his return from World War I. His father, Christoph, who worked in a shoe factory, and the Zehlein brothers, who produced the handmade spikes for track shoes in their blacksmith's shop, supported Dassler in starting his own business. On 1 July 1924, his older brother Rudolf Dassler joined the business, which became the Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory).
At the 1928 Olympics, Dassler equipped many athletes, laying the foundation for the international expansion of the company. During the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Dassler equipped Jesse Owens of the USA with his shoes. Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals in the year he wore Adi's shoes.
With the rise of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s, both Dassler brothers joined the Nazi Party, with Rudolf reputed as being the more ardent National Socialist.[1] Rudolf was drafted, and later captured, while Adi stayed behind to produce boots for the Wehrmacht and then broke away from the Nazi Party.[2] The war exacerbated the differences between the brothers and their wives. Rudolf, upon his capture by American troops, was suspected of being a member of the SS, information supposedly supplied by none other than his brother Adi.[3]
By 1948, the rift between the brothers widened. Rudolf left the company to found Puma on the other side of town (across the Aurach River), and Adolf Dassler renamed the company Adidas after his own nickname. (Adi Dassler).
In 1973, Adolf Dassler's son Horst Dassler founded Arena, a producer of swimming equipment. After Adolf Dassler's death in 1978, Horst and his wife Käthe took over the management. Horst died nine years later, in 1987. Adidas was transformed into a private limited company in 1989, but remained family property until its IPO in 1995.
In 2006, a sculpture of Adolf Dassler was opened up in the Adi-Dassler-Stadium in Herzogenaurauch. It was created by the artist Josef Tabachnyk.[4]

This review is from: Wacom Cintiq 22HD 19.5" x 11.5" Active Area USB, DVI-I Tablet
Pros: Good size to the beast, and just as a monitor, it's not bad--though definitely not a 2k monitor as just a monitor. It's important because if the monitor itself is mediocre, you aren't getting much for being able to more or less draw directly on the screen.
Cons: For some reason, Wacom is sticking with a plastic cover, which will likely be scratched up within a year assuming you use it enough to justify buying it. Fortunately, you can get a screen protector, and I recommend you do.

Expected more
This review is from: Wacom Cintiq 22HD 19.5" x 11.5" Active Area USB, DVI-I Tablet
Pros: It was an easy install; pretty fast and smooth on my windows 7 computer. The pen response time is fast, the felt-like plastic coating gives the pen display a very fine, high-quality touch.
Cons: Made in China - I knew this before I looked for the label that said it.
Other Thoughts: Conclusion: If you can settle for less room to work with, go for the Cintiq 13HD. Because the glass is thin and is right on top of the screen, it has minimal parallax distortion (pretty much none at all, if you've seen the unboxing vids on youtube), and there's minimal chance of having dust being trapped there.

great tool for artists
This review is from: Wacom Cintiq 22HD 19.5" x 11.5" Active Area USB, DVI-I Tablet
Pros: excellent color range, very precise control, easy setup and good quality
Cons: the stand is useless
Other Thoughts: I really with they had included an armature instead of the silly stand they have... it is totally useless in my opinion. I replaced it with a 3M 220MB armature which has been wonderful.

This review is from: Wacom Cintiq 22HD 19.5" x 11.5" Active Area USB, DVI-I Tablet
Pros: Works flawlessly. NO DEAD PIXELS. Makes digital sculpting in ZBrush and Mudbox a lot more faster and friendlier than a tablet which means faster workflow. Faster texture painting and illustration. This monitor allows an artist to directly interact with what ever he or she is doing, whether its a 3D model or 2D illustration. Great investment.
Cons: Prince, but not worth giving this amazing device a low rating.
Other Thoughts: If you have the money or if Newegg has a no payment no interest for 12 months promotion I highly recommend if you are an artist to buy it.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) -- President Barack Obama is touring South Africa's Robben Island, where former South African President Nelson Mandela spent 18 years in a tiny cell as a political prisoner.
Obama, his wife and two daughters are viewing the lime quarry where Mandela toiled during captivity. It's also where the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader developed the lung problems ailing him today.
The Obamas' tour guide is 83-year-old politician Ahmed Kathrada, who was also held captive at the prison. He's telling the Obamas the prisoners were forced to work every day.
Obama has been paying tribute to Mandela throughout his weeklong trip to three African countries. Obama will give a major speech later Sunday at the University of Cape Town. The White House says the speech will be infused with memories of Mandela.

Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr speaks to the Detroit Economic Club on Oct. 3, 2013, at the Motor City Casino Hotel in Detroit. / Ryan Garza/Detroit Free Press
Whats next in Detroits bankruptcy
Friday: Hearing before Judge Steven Rhodes on whether to allow Detroit to limit its 36th District Court bills.
Monday: Rhodes will conduct a pretrial conference to consider logistic issues related to the eligibility trial. He will also consider additional legal issues associated with the citys eligibility for bankruptcy.
Wednesday and beyond: Rhodes will conduct an eligibility trial to determine whether Detroits bankruptcy can proceed. Detroit and its creditors will argue about factual issues, including the citys finances and whether Kevyn Orr negotiated in good faith. Potential extra dates: Oct. 24-25, Oct. 28-29 and Nov. 4-8.
The State of Michigan argued Wednesday that the emergency manager law is constitutional and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes should allow Detroits bankruptcy to proceed.
Assistant Attorney General Margaret Nelson said at the second day of court hearings on the citys bankruptcy eligibility that Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr should be allowed to stay in place.
Several creditors have argued that Michigans emergency manager law is unconstitutional, claiming it infringes on voter rights and because Michigan voters rejected an earlier version of the law.
But Nelson asked Rhodes to uphold the law and said Detroits bankruptcy case would fall apart if Orr is removed from office.
That would necessarily terminate the case because it would revert back to local officials, and they would have to either reinitiate the process or somehow continue the case, Nelson said.
Creditors, including Detroits two pension funds and Michigan Council 25 of the American Federation of State, City and Municipal Employees, have challenged Detroits eligibility for bankruptcy. They said Gov. Rick Snyder should have forced Orr to save public pensions during the bankruptcy because the Michigan Constitution protects public pensions from being reduced by the state.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has argued that pensions cannot be reduced in bankruptcy court but that the citys bankruptcy case should nonetheless be allowed to proceed.
Nelson said it doesnt matter if the governor chose not to impose contingencies, since pensions havent been reduced yet.
She also argued that the current emergency manager law is different from the earlier version of the law in many respects, including allowing local government to petition for the removal of the emergency manager.
