Art & Design in Medieval Europe
The period 300–1000 saw the culture of the later Roman Empire succeeded by one dominated by an increasingly organised Christian Church. The legacy of Rome was tremendously influential throughout this period and beyond.
Across Europe, in places as varied as Ireland, the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Britain, and the Byzantine Empire in the east, new types of objects and ornament emerged and mixed with established traditions. Following the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 the influence of Islam became increasingly felt. In 711 North African armies swept through most of what is now modern Spain and Portugal and almost reached France.
The Andrews Diptych
The Andrews Diptych
Probably Italy
Probably 800s
Carved elephant ivory
Width 10 cm (each) x height 30 cm (each)
Museum no. A.47&A-1926
A diptych is formed of two panels fastened together that can be opened and closed. This ivory diptych shows six miracles associated with Jesus Christ, who is shown beardless. From top right the miracles are the Raising of Lazarus, the Marriage at Cana, the Healing of the Leper, the Miracles of the Loaves and Fishes, the Healing of the Blind Man, and the Healing of the Man sick of the Palsy.
The dating and place of production of this ivory are controversial. Some scholar have viewed it as a work of the 400s but several others favour a date in the 800s, a period when there was a renewed interest in late Roman art in western Europe under the Carolingian dynasty (751-987). This revived interest in the culture of the late Roman empire is frequently described as the Carolingian renaissance. Carolingian artists' use of Roman models can make it very difficult to be sure when an ivory object like this was carved.
Mosaic panel
Mosaic panel
Ravenna, Italy
About 545
Glass and gold mosaic set in plaster
Width 38 cm x height 53.5 cm
Museum no. 4312-1856
This mosaic panel depicts the head of Jesus Christ, showing him as a beardless young man. The face has been heavily restored, mostly in the 19th century. It is a fragment removed from a larger decorative scheme of early Byzantine mosaic from the eastern end (or apse) of the church of San Michele in Africisco, in Ravenna, Italy. The Byzantine empire was centred around the city of Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey) which was established as the capital of the Roman Empire in 330AD by the Emperor Constantine.
Ivory depicting the Last Judgement
Ivory depicting the Last Judgement
Probably 700s
Probably England
Width 8 cm x height 14.5 cm
Museum no. 253-1867
This panel is carved on both sides. This side shows scenes related to the Last Judgement, the final and absolute judgement of God on each person. A beardless Christ, with a halo behind his head, is seated and holds two scrolls. Either side of him three angels are blowing trumpets. Below his feet a haloed angel stands on a crescent, and the dead can be seen rising from their tombs to be judged. Those who are saved are received into heaven by a angel, but the damned huddle in hell.
The inscription on the scroll in Christ's right hand relates to Matthew's Gospel (Chapter 25: Verse 34). The full sentence from which the inscription comes reads: 'Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.'
The place of origin of this small ivory plaque and the date of carving has been debated. Within a hundred years of its creation, it was in mainland Europe where the reverse was carved.
Pendant Cross
Pendant Cross
Probably Italian
Late 700s or early 800s
Cloisonné enamel mounted in gold, the frame silver-gilt
Width 5.5cm x height 8.5cm
Museum no. 265-1886
The front of the cross shows Jesus Christ crucified between his mother (the Virgin Mary) and St John the Evangelist (who was one of his followers). There is an abbreviated inscription in Greek for 'Behold thy son' and 'Behold thy mother'. The cross has a cavity that originally would have contained holy relics. In this case case the relic was probably a wooden fragment considered by the owner to be a piece of the cross on which Christ was crucified.
On the back is a standing figure of the Virgin with both her hands raised in a gesture of prayer. The Virgin is surrounded by images of Saints John, Peter, Andrew and Paul, followers of Christ in the first century AD.
Reliquary crosses were popular with the wealthy in the Byzantine Empire, the territory centred around the city of Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey). Enamelled examples like this are very rare and the precise date and place of manufacture are still open to debate.
Front cover of The Lorsch Gospels
Front cover of The Lorsch Gospels
Aachen, Germany
About 810
Carved elephant ivory
Width 26.7cm x height 38.1cm
Museum no. 138-1866
These five ivory panels formed part of the front cover of a copy of the Gospels from Lorsch Abbey (Germany) the back cover of which is now in the Vatican Museum (Rome). The Gospels are accounts of the life of Jesus Christ written in the first century AD by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The subjects and figures represented in the panels are referred to in the various Gospel accounts. The Virgin Mary and Christ Child are shown in the central panel. To the left is John the Baptist, and to the right Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. Above two angels hold a medallion with a beardless Christ. Below are scenes related to Christ's birth, known as the Nativity and the Annunciation to the shepherds.
The panels were carved at Aachen (modern Germany), then the capital of Charlemagne's extensive empire. Under Charlemagne (b.742-d.814) and his Carolingian successors interest in the art and learning of the Roman Empire was reinvigorated. Carolingian art referred back to the distant Roman past but also followed more recent models.
Holy Water Bucket or Situla
Milan, Italy
About 980
Carved elephant ivory
Height 16 cm
Museum no. A.18-1933
A situla is a bucket designed to hold holy water. Ivory situlae are very rare and were apparently only made for special ceremonial occasions. This example is carved with twelve scenes from the Passion of Christ arranged in two rows. It was probably made around 980 for the visit of the German Holy Roman Emperor Otto II to Milan.
There are three bands of inscriptions. The lower band runs: 'May the Father, who added thrice five to the years of Hezekiah, grant many lustres to the august Otto. Reverently, Caesar, the anointing vessel wishes to be remembered for its art.'
This period saw Christian attempts to reclaim Muslim-governed land in the Near East and Islamic Spain, which they regarded as rightfully theirs. Great monasteries, castles and churches were built in a style of architecture that subsequently became known as Romanesque. This style was also adopted for smaller-scale objects in different media. One characteristic of the Romanesque was that it adopted and adapted elements from traditions as diverse as the art of the Islamic world and the Scandinavian north. Pilgrimage, trade and war helped to spread ideas over a wide geographical area. The delicate style known in later centuries as Gothic began to emerge from Paris in the mid-1100s and was to prove extraordinarily popular. Artists still sought inspiration from it in 1600.
The Gloucester Candlestick
Candlestick (known as the Gloucester Candlestick)
Cast metal alloy, gilt
Height 51cm
Museum No. 7649-1861
This elaborate metal candlestick reflects the extremely high level of skill of the craftsperson, probably a goldsmith, who made it. The dense decoration is formed of wonderful figures and apes interspersed between thick intertwined shoots of foliage. Three long-eared dragons with outspread wings form the supporting feet.
There are three inscriptions in Latin. The one on the stem, above and below the central knop (or knob) refers to the donation of the candlestick and reads: 'The devotion of abbot Peter and his gentle flock gave me to the church of St Peter at Gloucester'. This must refer to what is now Gloucester Cathedral, but which was then a Benedictine monastery where there was an abbot named Peter between 1104-1113.
Ewer (or aquamanile)
German (Mosan)
About 1120
Gilt bronze, cast and chased, decorated with silver and niello
Height 18.3cm
Museum No. 1471-1870
Ewers (or aquamanilia) were used both in the home and in church for the washing of hands. They frequently took the shape of real or fantastic creatures. Here the beast most closely resembles a griffin, an animal that combines elements from an eagle and a lion. The mouth acts as the spout: the vessel was filled through a hole in the tail.
The beast shown here owes its form to representations of griffin-like creatures known as 'senmurvs'. Images of these animals were depicted on silk textiles that were imported into north-western Europe from the east. This ewer, therefore, highlights the artistic and trading links between east and west.
Relief with Saint Philip, Saint Jude and Saint Batholomew
Relief with Saint Philip, Saint Jude and Saint Batholomew
From the Cathedral of Vich, Spain
About 1150-1160
Carved limestone
Height 81.4cm x width 63.4cm
Museum no. A.49-1932
The three figures can be identified because the books they are holding are inscribed with the Latin versions of their names. Saint Philip, Saint Jude and Saint Bartholomew were all Apostles, followers of Christ in the 1st century AD. The halos behind their heads are used to indicate their holiness. The linear carving of the beards, hair and drapery are distinctive qualities of sculpture of this period. The irises of the eyes of the three figures have been filled with lead plugs.
This sculpture originally formed part of the decoration of the west front of the Cathedral of Saint Peter at Vich, about 40 miles north of Barcelona in Spain. The cathedral was destroyed in 1791.
Carved rock crystal
Cairo, Egypt
Height 19.5 cm x diameter 9 cm (of base)
Museum No. 7904-1862
This rock crystal ewer is one of only six that survived in princely collections and church treasuries in Italy and France. Originally, though, these high-quality rock crystal objects had been made for the Fatimid caliphs who ruled Egypt between 969 and 1171. Their names and those of high officials appear in Arabic inscriptions on some examples. By the 1060s, many thousands of rock crystals had been accumulated in the Fatimid treasury in Cairo, but then there was a financial crisis, and the caliph's troops raided his treasury. The soldiers sold their loot on the market, and some was bought eagerly by merchants from Europe, where nothing like the rock crystals had been seen.
Great skill was required to hollow out the transparent, crystalline stone without breaking it, and to carve the delicate decoration. In some places, the rock crystal is barely more than a millimetre thick. The shape and decoration are related to those of Islamic ewers made in precious metal and cut glass, and in its original state the rock crystal ewer probably had gold or silver mounts. The motif of a bird of prey attacking an antelope, which had long been used to symbolize royal power, occurs on both sides of the body and is framed by a scrollwork arranged as a tree and set with stylized leaves.
St Nicholas Crozier
St Nicholas Crozier
Winchester, England (probably)
1150 - 1170
Carved ivory
Width 11 cm x height 12 cm
Museum No. 218-1865
Bishops, and sometimes abbots, carry a crozier as a symbol of office. It resembles the crook used by a shepherd when looking after his flock. This crozier shows scenes relating to Jesus Christ and St Nicholas. At the end of the volute (or scroll) an angel supports the Lamb of God, a symbolic image of Christ. Its head is now missing. On the other side is the Nativity (or birth) of Christ. Angels appear to shepherds and announce Christ's birth on one side of the shaft.
The rest of the crozier shows three scenes from the Life of St Nicholas. According to tradition, St Nicholas was Bishop of Myra, a town in Asia Minor, in the late Roman period. The first scene depicts his birth. The choice of scenes suggests that the crozier was made for a bishop or abbot who was either named after the saint or in charge of a foundation (cathedral or monastery) dedicated to him. This crozier is one of the finest achievements of the ivory carver's art.
The Becket Casket
The Becket Casket
Limoges, France
About 1180-1190
Gilt copper and champlevé enamel on a wooden core
Width 11.4cm x height 29.9cm
Museum no. M.66-1997
This casket was probably designed to hold relics (or sacred objects) of the murdered Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket (1118-1170). Becket's murder in his own cathedral on 29 December 1170, by four knights in the service of King Henry II (r.1154-1189), provoked outrage throughout Europe. Becket was made a saint in 1173, and his shrine at Canterbury became one of the most famous in Europe.
This casket depicts the murder of Becket, his burial, and the raising of his soul to heaven. It is one of the most elaborate, the largest, and possibly the earliest in date to survive. Becket was a popular saint and he is represented on many other surviving medieval objects.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Republicans have announced they are cancelling a GOP presidential candidate debate scheduled for next week in Portland because they couldn't get enough candidates to participate.
The debate was supposed to occur on Monday. But GOP chairman Allen Alley said Thursday it's being called off.
Earlier this week a spokeswoman for Mitt Romney said he wouldn't attend because the Illinois primary is happening the day after the now-canceled debate.
Alley says the candidates have become less interested in debates as they focus on winning delegates in individual states.

All nano reefs must be entered by October 20th, 2006 to qualify.
ditto, i really don't know if i can get it done under that deadline. so you can't do the three tanks now? are you going to upsize one and section it off instead then?
You have until Oct. 20th to enter a system. That'd why I even mentioned it. And why new people are still slowly entering the contest.
I plan on entering but I'l be closer to the 20th deadline than the 1st.
Edited by distantfire, 11 October 2006 - 12:33 PM.
I didn't start a thread on my Wine bottle reef. I just started working on it yesterday. And I got some pic's of it and put them in the members gallery under my name.
I won't be able to do anymore work on it for at least a week. Because my older brother passed away this afternoon. This saturday I'm flying down to Arkansaw to attend his funeral.
Your diet lacks wholesome foodstuffs. Try adding some beer. Hans Dorn
Thank's everybody it's been real hard on me. Losing my older brother because we were good friends. And I'm sorry I had to remove my pictures. But it was because I ran out of room to post more. It seems Nano-Reef.com has a 20MB limit on pictures posted in threads. And I had a lot of pictures of my work posted in older threads.
I haven't done much lately except stay sober and work. Last week I came up with a idea for a 10gal. project that I'm going to try doing. And I will start a thread on it when the time is right. Thank's again everybody for well wishes.

Thank you ezcompany it's really hard loosing people in your own family. Because you alway's think that it's going to happen to somebody else. I lost my dad on feb. 13 1992 and now my brother who just passed away. Lost his 18 year old daughter 2 years ago in a car accident. I know my brother is with his daughter and our dad in heaven now. The hardest part for me is not being able to talk to them everyday except in prayer.

Thank's a lot ezcompany for your offer to help me. I will be moving in a few months to be closer to my job. And I'm still building the tank system in memory of brother. He liked seeing my fish and the cleaner shrimp. He also liked all the glass & wood work that I did. And I liked sharing those pictures with him and my mom down there in Arkansas.
I've been keeping myself busy working a new 2.5gal fuge idea. The pictures of it will be in the members gallery very soon. I just have to stay under the 20MB picture limit here on N-R.com. And that's very hard to do because I have lot's of pictures. Maybe N-R.com will see it's way clear to give me more picture space someday.

Abstract art and photography are fuel for the imagination that guide you to reassess, rediscover and reprogram what you thought you knew about "how" you see and "what" you see. The camera is the tool and its eye is the lens you look through to capture the shot, but the "picture" must first be detected in your brain, appear in your mind and be seen through your eyes.
Filled with tips to help you practice perceiving what is beautiful within the ordinary, it will inspire you to produce more artistic and creative photos, using nothing more than your mobile phone. You will become more attuned to seemingly insignificant details of your daily experiences as they come to life! Get ready to have some fun and try to guess!...

Is there a way to change some music files that exist in game in Pokemon White 2? I mean to change trainer's music (eg. Hiker) to Kanto Gym Leader music? If it is I would like to change some music:
Trainer named Hiker will have Kanto Gym Leader Music,
Youngster - Johto Gym Leader,
Worker - Hoenn Gym Leader,
Lass - Sinnoh Gym Leader and with champions:
Waiter (not Waitress) - Kanto Champion (Blue),
Dancer - Johto Champion (Lance),
Psychic (man) - Hoenn Champion
the last music: music which plays, when you fight the last, final battle in world tournament and that music for a Doctor.
Please, help me in doing it, just explain how to change music for Hiker, then for the others I will try allone to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Jenni Carlson: NBA can't afford a work stoppage now
A grand season for the NBA came to a glorious ending in the Finals.
On a night when the Mavericks were left celebrating a title and the Heat were left wondering what in the heck went wrong, the decisive game mirrored this entire season. It was intense. It was competitive. It was a ton of fun to watch.
It was a fitting finale to a splendid season.
Yet despite a series that put an exclamation point on this roundball ride, we are now left with some different punctuation — a question mark.
What's next for the NBA?
A lockout looms. Even though the deadline for a new collective bargaining agreement is several weeks away, it's practically a foregone conclusion that an agreement won't be done by then and that owners will lock out the players on July 1.
Now's not the time, folks.
The NBA has never been in a better place than it is right now. I mean that to include everyone — the league, the owners and the players.
I know there is plenty of talk out there about how the league is teetering because few franchises make money, many face financial losses every year and some are even in trouble. There are teams that don't have the revenue to pay their bills. There are clubs that struggle to compete year in and year out.
Look at the New Orleans Hornets. The franchise that launched Oklahoma City's NBA journey had to be bought out by the league earlier this year.
But here's the thing, some teams will struggle regardless of what the collective bargaining agreement says. They will make bad deals. They will use poor judgment. They will drive themselves into a hole.
No amount of wheeling and dealing by the league will change that.
Go back to the Hornets for a second. They were handicapped by Hurricane Katrina. No doubt about that. But they were crippled by the decision to pay Peja Stojakovic — Peja Stojakovic! — $14 million a year.
Even if he wasn't injury prone, he was never worth that much money.
What's more, the Hornets offered him that outrageous contract the first day he became a free agent.
Poorly managed franchises will make dumb decisions whether the league has a hard salary cap, a salary limit or any other measure meant to save some teams from themselves.
The thing is, the opposite is true, too. Good clubs will thrive no matter what the rules say.
Don't you think a guy like Sam Presti will figure out a way to build a team regardless of the law of basketball land? The Thunder general manager and his people will adapt just like every other good front-office staff will.
So, why don't the league and the union just figure out something before the deadline and move on?
Avoid a lockout at all costs.
Now is not the time for the league to shut down. The product is fantastic, and folks are taking notice. Strange but true — I was typing the first words to this column Monday afternoon when an email from the NBA popped into my inbox announcing that these NBA Finals were the second-most viewed since 2004.
Average viewers per game: 17,280,000.
Last year's seven-game series between Los Angeles and Boston averaged a little more than 18 million viewers per game.
Remember when everyone believed that it took teams from one of the major coastal markets to draw viewers to the NBA Finals?
Those days are over. TV ratings for the playoffs were up this year, and that wasn't just the case for games involving those big-market teams. Folks watched Oklahoma City and Memphis and Indiana and Portland, too.
The NBA isn't like the NFL where people have long watched playoff games regardless of who's playing.
Now, that is changing.
Casual fans have become interested in the league's stars no matter where they play. Folks in Chicago want to watch Kevin Durant. People in Los Angeles want to check out Derrick Rose. And for better or worse, everyone wants to see LeBron James.
These playoffs put the league's stars on stage, and they shone bright. The play was outstanding. The competition was great. The drama was high.
But if the NBA has a lockout, especially a prolonged one that cuts into next season, the league is going to jeopardize its increased popularity. Newbie fans who have fueled the increased ratings are most likely to bolt. Their interest is fresh and fragile, and a messy work stoppage will surely drive away many.
What's next for the NBA?
I fear it will be neither grand nor glorious.

VOL. LI JULY, 1947 No. 1
Zhe tufcc- 6tters
They say that heaven is a free range land-
Good-bye, good-bye, O fare you well-
But it's barbed wire for the devil's hat band
And barbed-wire blankets down in hell.
-Edwin Ford Piper'
DROUTH hit the Texas cow country a staggering blow in the
summer of 1883. Skies were empty except for the blazing
sun that parched and cracked the earth. Dust hovered
over the plains and settled on what was left of the brown, shrunk-
en grass. From the coals of careless campers or the sparks of loco-
motives, fires raced over many of the pastures, leaving only
charred, blackened turf. When even the stubble was gone, the
cattle browsed on chaparral, munched prickly pear, and chewed
the charred blooms of Spanish dagger.
Still worse than the lack of enough grass was the scarcity of
water. Creeks that had served vast herds were so dry that a
crawfish could not wet his whiskers. Settlers on the upper
reaches of the Brazos and the Colorado said they never had seen
those rivers so low.2 In some streams the trickle that still flowed
was so salty that cattle refused to drink it. Water holes that had
lasted through other hot summers dried up. Some cattle that
waded into the mud to suck up the ooze and green scum sank
into the mire and suffocated.
Leathery longhorns, toughened to hardship and scant fare,
were crazed by thirst. They rolled their tongues in agony and
bawled for water. Day by day their moaning became weaker.
Their bodies thinned, and their eyes became more sunken. From
'Edwin Ford Piper, Barbed Wire and Wayfarers (New York, 19gs4), 2.

another quick stuff just for fun
Well this is a whole new level of awesome.
That's badass!
absolutely stunning!
If necessity is the mother of all invention, then the Dragon Cowl was made by the angry stepmother of revenge. The Jern fought a bloody war. When their neighbors and more than often tormentors, the Daq attacked them full on, they had no choice. They fought hard and were able squeeze out survival but at a deadly cost. In the last days of the war the Daq unleashed the Fire Snakes. The dragons that laid waste to the lands and oceans. The Jern did what they could to win and lost most of their people and culture in the process. But this did not stop them from finding revenge. When they learned the true way of slaying the dragons they struck back, hard. Wiping as many out as they could and then wearing their skin as clothing. One of the most harsh things about the Grand Fire Snakes was their need for burned flesh to eat. The broken down protein from fire scorched meat helped their weakened digestive system, so they burned what they ate. The two halves of the jaw sat apart and when touched they created a heat that could build and send jets of flame forth with opposite streams of saliva. A side affect of wearing the skin of the felled beasts was a constant chemical reaction as the two halves of the jaw touched. But the wearers loved the effect.
this is great *_*
This's a coat, right

Oh, Now that sounds really good, Johnie . I LoVe cinnamon , so I know I would like it . I never heard of the PB&J restaurant . Jim loves and I do mean loves Peant Butter . Will have to take him there .
Here is the place in NYC http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/
They sell the peanut butter in some grocery stores.
the pitachio ice cream I buy is made by Friendlys . You know, the restaurant ? Do they have them in FL ?

Ok I was looking for the peanut butter cookie recipe and I found three I haven't made them in a few years, so I can't figure out which one I used all the time. Maybe Tink can share it?
Other than that I tend to make a few different cookies each year and try something new that I always thought was too hard. I guess since my Nana isn't doing so well, that I am trying to take on some of things she did so they get passed onto my children. I am making gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, tea time tassies, butter balls, fudge melt-aways, shortbread thumb prints, chocolate crinkles, no bake fudge cookies, and I think I will make Johnie's rock cookies
Does anyone like German Stollen . I don't make it, but my DMIL orders them in fresh from Germany . I know its sold at the Gingerbread House in the GF .
Johnie , if you get over there . You have to sample it . It's Yummy !

Pourquoi Pas? Rational Choice as a Basic Theory of HRM
Matiaske, Wenzel, Management Revue
Pourquoi pas? Rational Choice as a Basic Theory of HRM**
A broad spectrum of theories from different disciplines is portrayed in contemporary HRM (as a discipline of business administration). Theories from psychology, sociology and economics correspond to the variety of problems addressed in HRM which are again situated at different levels of analysis, namely on the individual, group and organizational level. A narrow focus solely on economic approaches, as sometimes suggested in personnel economics, is therefore not sufficient.
Instead, the contemporary "rational choice" approach may serve as a "new" basis for the discipline. The approach stems from economics and sociology and, as an offspring of these, combines elements of action and structure in its basic explanatory models. Also it is able to explain effects that emerge on the system or macro level. Indepth explanations allow model building at different levels of analysis, namely on an environmental, organizational and individual level, which can be seen as a major prerequisite of explanations in HRM. In addition "rational choice" is conscious of the ignorance of its underlying action theory and this exposes it to the body of physiological and psychological knowledge. Anomalies of classic economic theory can therefore be restricted, for instance by using the method of decreasing abstraction. The method of decreasing abstraction serves as a basic principle or heuristic device for model building, in order to separate "rational choice" from traditional anti-reductionism.
This article introduces basic elements of the modern "rational choice" approach: the macro-micro-macro model of explanation, homo socio-oeconomicus as a model of man and exchange theory as a baseline model of aggregation. A final summary discusses research questions and applications of "rational choice" in HRM.
Key words: Rational Choice, Economic Sociology, Micro-macro-link, Homo Socio-oeconomicus
1. Approach
Ever since Pareto's (1935) distinction, it has generally been agreed, that the field of economics should concentrate on rational action; other areas of social science, i.e. sociology should concentrate on irrational behavior. However, economics is a broad field. Therefore it is hardly surprising that economists who are confronted with irrational human behavior or deviations from the perfect model of purposeful and rational behavior wrangle with Pareto and, in particular, with his line of distinction. Critical calls were confronted with only modest appreciation, if they were heard at all, when they suggested that unrealistic assumptions about behavior were required in order to deliver economic or normatively speaking "good" explanations (Friedman 1953). Academics in Business Administration, dealing with innovation, marketing, organization or human resources and phenomena like decision behavior, informal organizations or HRM abandoned the economic paradigm and searched for more feasible theories in other disciplines.
The historical development of HRM is not the topic of this article. However, we need to stress that we are talking about a process of convergence towards neighboring disciplines, notably (social) psychology and (organizational and industrial) sociology, which represent a "long wave" of historical ideas: Simon's (1955) revolutionary work "A behavioral model of rational choice" was published half a century ago. Since then, considerable progress has been made in both theory and empirical knowledge. And this holds true for all levels of HRM research - for the individual, group and organizational level. Worth mentioning amongst others are motivation, learning and stress theories, theories about group dynamics, power and management as well as theories about organizations and their environments. Furthermore, it is worth emphasizing tendencies towards empirical social research which evolved at the same time as behavioral science.
Economic theory was "exported" once again into HRM with the rediscovery of institutions in economic research and the development of appropriate models, such as property rights, transaction costs and information asymmetry, which all facilitated the explanation of the failure of the free market model of traditional economics (Coase 1960, Alchian/Allen 1972). …

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The "For Sale" signs are back up around Bi-Lo, sources told SN last week. The chain, which recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, has drawn interest from competitors Kroger Co. and Publix Super Markets, one source told SN, although a spokeswoman for Lakeland, Fla.-based Publix dismissed that claim as "a rumor." "Publix is not actively engaged in the purchase of Bi-Lo or Bi-Lo stores," Maria Brous of Publix told SN. A spokesman for Cincinnati-based Kroger ...

University of North Carolina President Erskine Bowles says campuses are starting to lay off workers but are trying to provide as much advance notice as possible.
Bowles told the State Employees Association of North Carolina on Friday that chancellors are trying to absorb $175 million in UNC system budget cuts this fiscal year. Gov. Beverly Perdue's budget proposal would order even higher reductions next year.
Bowles was responding to a letter from association executive director Dana Cope questioning whether layoffs were necessary now.
University of North Carolina at Greensboro Chancellor Linda Brady said this week that layoffs would begin at the school, which could lead to more than 100 workers losing their jobs.

I'm interested in netbooting an OS X install (Snow Leopard) from my Ubuntu box. I've made an ISO of the install dvd, but I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I know it's possible to do this from an OS X server, but can it be done from Linux as well?
The Macs that need to receive the netinstall are all intel versions.

Question And Answers - Poem by Charles Hice
Love does not see offenses, does it? It only sees itself!
Love is never wrong and never found under rocks and dirt
and bound away from light of day all dirty thrown away
and discarded in the dung. Love is better kept in heart and blood
and living in reality inside the other heart.
Wondering at love and needing kisses
is better than the misses of the one
who steals the breath away from person in the dark.
One kiss from ewe would be the price eye pay for life.
Never fear that eye would ever fling my love away.
The day that eye would suicide is past.
The love is forever in the end of time
and just TODAY it has a home in me.
Ever and this day is when the time is meant to bee for ewe
please come to me anon.
Pleasure is just knoeing that we love and its not wrong.

La Buena Amistad Group
She began with tamales, which she prepared each weekend and then sold. Later, she offered her services for cooking for events such as birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, etc. Little by little she has become well known so that a lot of people request her services, and she receives a lot of contracts.
What she wants most is to own and manage her own restaurant. She already has a place for it in her house, and only lacks capital in order to start. For the time being, she will continue saving in order to attain her goal. With her loan she will buy ingredients for preparing meals such as condiments, corn, and other things.
Her group is called "La Buena Amistad" (Good Friendship). She is the treasurer, a difficult job that she performs very well.
Sra. Eleoteria is in the third row in the black vest and red sweater. Twelve members appear in the photo because one of the group members has chosen to keep maintain her savings in the group's account during this loan cycle. She is not included on the list of group members because she is not taking out a new loan during this cycle.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

He has worked for six years at a sugar refinery during the season for harvesting sugarcane. When he leaves his work at the sugar refinery he also works at a nearby farm, and he grows his 'manzana' [a land measurement unit equivalent to 1.740 acres] of corn and beans.
His daughters are in the fourth and the second grades of elementary school, and they go to the closest school. In the community there is no electrical lighting. Currently his family is using lights run by batteries. They buy batteries because they last longer, and they avoid a fire that could be caused by using candles in their house.
He is requesting the loan to buy a 60 watt solar panel. This way he will live in a better way with his daughters and his wife. With this system the intensity of light will be greater, and they will no longer have to spend to buy the batteries. Gaspar's daughters will be able to do their school work at night, and his wife will be able to take better care of their newborn child. He hopes to be helped with the approval of this loan so that his family life will change.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
TECNOSOL is a for-profit renewable energy company that provides electricity and solar powered products to families living off the grid in Nicaragua. It enables households to generate their own energy and replace toxic and expensive sources of light and heat like kerosene, diesel and wood.
Many of TECNOSOL's clients cannot afford the high upfront costs of buying solar products. Kiva loans help these households purchase clean energy products.
Solar home systems are much more than a solar lamp and can provide users with life changing amounts of power: enough power to run multiple lights, home appliances, radios, and TVs. These systems are modular, enabling clients to add solar panels and batteries to meet their increasing energy demands.
Important InformationThis Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.

past at different rates? The answer is obvious: past time intervals between any two facts or events are mere logical consequences of the interval between their becoming present, i.e. - for a presentist - between their coming to exist or occur. But then, to stop that interval varying over time, any statement of it must be a temporally invariant B-statement, like 'Queen Anne's birth occurs 49 years earlier than her death'. And as in this example, so in others. The axioms of Prior's presentist system, which express the semantics of his operators 'P' and 'F', cannot derive their necessity just from A-concepts: they must also invoke the irreducibly B-concept of some facts and events becoming present more or less earlier than others.

Failed - Cannon 24-70mm 2.8L lens dropped w/camera
By Tuan T.
from Sacramento, CA
Comments about Quick Sling™ Cross-body Camera Strap:
Great design and I loved it until it failed on me and the camera and pro lens went falling down on the ground. Lucky it was soft forest floor and not concrete. Any part holding strength should have been metal. The clip that the strap attaches to needs to be made of high strength metal. It cannot break like the plastic one did on me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

just perfect!
By Lagpas
from Manila Philippines
I'm happy to find this one, a price friendly. just when I got home I immediately attached it to my D7000 with flash gun and it's just fit and locks perfectly as I observed. For me the hard plastic that others said should be metal is not a big deal because this plastic thing obviously can carry more than 40 kilogram. You can still use this with your 30kg. camera
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Defective Screw
By Kj
from Ontario Canada
I purchased this elsewhere and it took 3 of them before I recieved one that had a working screw. The first 2 the threading was defective and would not screw on to any camera. There must have been a bad batch or something.
By PETER

Great for the price....
By Rusty
from Cincinnati
Well made for the price, not a Black Rapid, but not bad, my only gripe is the use of plastic in high stress areas such as the piece that connects the strap to tripod screw, would like to see aluminum here, but for lighter weight gear, it seems durable enough. Previous post saying it doesn't fit Canon????..wrong!! It uses a standard 1/4-20 thread and will fit any camera with a tripod socket.....

The mechanism that is supposed to screw into the base of the camera DOES NOT FIT any of my Canon cameras. Will not work with Canon Rebel XT, 50D or 6D. Thread size is not correct for Canon cameras. Unfortunately, store where I bought it would not give me a refund!

Religion was IBU(58 Posts)
At work today and we (staff) wee discussion what out children wanted.
Staff member say "Sam" said she had gotten her daughter, a telescope as space and stars fascinated her, (her not the daugher) and that us humans didn't really know what was going on, up above.
She went onto say that when Mary road a donkey to Bethlehem what a "pile of crap" the whole bible is, and that donkeys were proven not to exist in that time, FACT FACT even more FACT!!! (didnt matter what anyone said) I said fair enought but as a Roman Catholic I dont believe in your opinion.
She then went on to say that it was a whole pile of crap, and that eveolution it was, I asked her to stop the discussion as I thought she was rude, and disrespectful to my faith. Again she tried to say her opinion, I think I must have repeated that she just continue her work and stop the discussion. (I wven told her to go away numerous times) told her why I didn't want to speak about it further as I though she was beig disrespectful. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, as people are entitled to their opinion, but I just didn't want to hear it, as I would not be changing my mind on my faith and neither would I be changing her mind. (She over a 10 min period tried to explain her opinion and I repeatedly asked her to drop it.
About 5 mins later she came back and said (no idea why this is relevant that her father was christened and that she was at a catholic wedding at the weekend??!!??
Again I told her to drop it and I didn't want to carry in the conversation, at this point she left.
One of my other colleagues asked if I was ok, I said I was, just felt that it was disrespectful, althrough entitled to her opinion, with that collegue came barging in and said "if I had anything to say, say it to her face" I said I was talking about her directly, and was just answering a question that X had asked me.
I felt like a high school kid, but I can't seem to get it out of y mind.
As she went onto to tell further colleagues that we disagreed over a donkey!!! Which wasn't the case at all, thankfully another collegue was their.
Really thinking about putting my notice in, as I don't want to be know as the adult school kid religious freak.
I just didn't want to speak about it, so why the deck did she not get the message.
Thanks Ophelia. I know that 'man' is shorthand for 'mankind' (ie humans).
My question was more about trying to understand how the idea that mankind was created in the form that we are now (ie in God's image) is married with evolution theory (ie mankind evolved from other organisms and was not created as we are now).
As I say, not trying to be antagonistic - just interested.
Oh OP I get the same from a family member & I'm an atheist, have been since my teens.
Ignore them, you know you get fundamental Christians who are OTT about everything loosely concerned with their faith? Well you get the same with atheists and it sounds like your colleague is one of them.
Every time I see this family member I get quizzed about how dreadful it is that schools even mention faith of any kind, I get lectured about how I'm not doing enough to expose the lies of religion (because I'm a gentle atheist & you all can worship whatever you want, which is wrong apparently). I get lectured that anyone who has a faith is an idiot & foolish, & the contempt they show for any believer is very uncomfortable. She won't shut up about it & is aggressive & won't back off. She is horrible, my heart goes out to you at not being able to escape.
HR policies are there for a reason, use them.
I find that just repeating "I don't care what you think" or the even more direct "I don't care about anything that you think about anything"
and saying nothing else at all - makes them go away. There really is only so long you can talk at someone whose only response is "I don't care what you think"
And, I know it's rude. But when someone decides to be breathtakingly ignorant, I say give it to them with both barrels
If the situation played out as described above, then it sounds to me that she was trying to deliberately upset you - "what did you get your DD for Christmas", "The Bible is a load of crap" - I just don't see the link?! Unless of course someone else in the conversation had provoked it.
Having said all that, I always struggle to understand why religious people are offended by people saying stuff like this. I mean, you must realise that the vast majority of people think that what you believe is fabricated, regardless of your religion. (To be clear, that Christians must presume that other religions are false, same for Muslims, Jews, Hindus, atheists...every group is in the minority yet thinks it holds the true view). To be offended because people say something when you already know they believe it, is odd.
To have someone following you round repeating it when you've been pleading with them to just agree to disagree and just drop it is odder
@binky the catholic church argues that man was made in gods image and there is sanctity of human life and just doesn't feel this is incompatible with evolution. No further explanation on this has been offered by the church as it isn't considered necessary or even something that is fully understood.
I guess the best explanation is that God oversaw an evolution that eventually produced humans. It was just a very long way if creating something inhis image. Doesn't mean they aren't in Gods image just because God took a long time over it necessarily.
anyone having this convo at work rather than with your crew down the pub or whatever is just unprofessional really. Don't give up your job over this.
I'm not religious and find RC very difficult to negotiate (dh rc) but work is for being professional. Like everyone, I have loads of opinions on lots of things but work is for being a bit insipid and just getting on with work and not offending colleagues.
If it happens again I'd have a world with your HR as you should be able to work without feeling your being insulted in your personal life.

Volunteers and students from UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Wilmington, Duke University, NC Central University and Peace College packaged 481,260 meals on the final day of University Million Meal Week 2009, bringing the UMMW 2009 total to 1,031,776 and exceeding last year's total by 21,402.
Last week, on the first day of UMMW 2009, volunteers and students from NC State University, East Carolina University, and Meredith College packaged 550,516 meals.
Meals packaged during UMMW 2009 will be used to feed school children in some of the world's most impoverished areas of Haiti, Kenya and Nicaragua. As the UNC-CH event ended, a truck loaded with the life-saving meals headed to Feed the Hungry in Kenya.
"It is a monumental effort to package this many meals in such a short time. Ample resources exist to win the war against hunger. We only need the human will to make it happen. The University Million Meals Week demonstrates it can," said Ray Buchanan, president and founder of Stop Hunger Now.

The Top Ten Wonder Woman Casting Choices
This year at Comic-Con 2009, Joss Whedon was in attendance. This made me nostalgic for the years in which his Wonder Woman was not only rumored, but actually in the works. Since the demise of that, I remembered that a while ago I read that Beyonce is publically lobbying for the highly contested role of Wonder Woman in the upcoming DC Comics/Warner Brothers production, I admit that I recoiled a little.
Beyonce? Seriously? Sure, I've been known to belt "Crazy in Love" from the privacy of my car (and maybe at the occasional karaoke bar), but Beyonce's no actress. And it takes more than extreme hotness to do justice to Lynda Carter's iconic role. So, studio execs, before you fit Beyonce for a red bathing suit, please consider some of these other choices.
We asked the Geekscape team what they thought and here's what they brought to the table...
