Re: Internal strength in bowling, fencing, golf, etc.
I'd disagree with you on the part about the sipping beer while the womenfolk work, but that could just be my gender bias.
Women do most of the physical labor in agricultural/pastoral, non-industrial countries. Men are "too important" because they can get the paying jobs in town --as drivers, tourist industry workers, etc. When I was in India and Nepal, I saw mostly women doing the bulk of the day-to-day hard physical work. Men would plow the fields with water buffalo, and do roof thatching -- which are sporadic or at least not frequent tasks. The rest of the time they drink tea (or booze), play low-stakes gambling games, run cockfighting matches and enjoy other timekillers between sex, plowing and paying gigs.
"Thank goodness for post-Industrial Western life," she said.
I wouldn't say that the only "secrets" are the ones that we don't know about when it comes to the cogently-developed, integrated system of internal body skills that arose in Asia perhaps largely for martial use. It was not meant for the average Joe as load-bearing is, and I believe that it is also not a spontaneous discovery that others will find on their own, although many discrete initernal body skills, such as the weight-bearing method, have been spontaneous, parallel discoveries in many cultures and places in the world. Given a few millennia, a culture will plumb the depths of any skill that is necessary for its survival. IOW, if you live in a culture where you have to carry heavy loads on your body for long distances, your people will figure out a way, over time, to make that process as efficient as possible. And it will be handed down mother to daughter/father to son. Necessity being the mother of invention.
One problem we Westerners have as a group, is that we are armchair thinkers and mental doers. Many of our amazing inventions involve machinery and electronics to do the work for us. Most of us have lost touch with our bodies as machines that do work, and would not know where to begin to learn to manipulate our internal structure and movement.
So, I think that unlike your round-Earth paradigm, knowledge of how to implement internal skills can make a difference in our post-industrial world, in terms of body efficiency in doing work, if nothing else. In martial arts, I deeply believe in their efficacy, having seen and felt it myself. And heck, I may have to carry propane tanks some day, and I sure would like to do it without getting a hernia. And, I want to go back to Nepal and show those ladies that a Westerner can trot up miles of foothill paths at 12,000', carrying a load of firewood without breaking a sweat.
And, Kevin, if you train in and learn this stuff, maybe you could get a gov't contract to teach soldiers how to carry more weight with greater efficiency so they don't eat and sweat so much. We tax payers will appreciate the savings in food, deoderant and other stuff the military uses by the truckload to fuel its troops.

THE writing of this book has been a harder task than I anticipated when I began it in 1938. It has taught me that the hardest part of an anthropologist's work begins after he leaves the field. In the field he is engrossed in concrete human activities. It is true that he can never feel himself completely at one with the people he is studying, however gifted he may be, linguistically or psychologically. He may make some real friends among his hosts; but he can never adopt their cultural values. If he did, he would lose that detachment without which anything he wrote would be of no scientific value. All the same, he is carried by the living stream of social life. He hardly has to stop and think. Thus the crucial scientific task begins when he starts to write up his field material. It is not merely a question of putting his observations on record. Writing an anthropological monograph is itself an instrument of research, and perhaps the most significant instrument of research in the anthropologist's armoury. It involves breaking up the vivid, kaleidoscopic reality of human action, thought, and emotion which lives in the anthropologist's note-books and memory, and creating out of the pieces a coherent representation of a society, in terms of the general principles of organization and motivation that regulate behaviour in it. It is a task that cannot be done without the help of theory.
The task would be easier if social anthropology had a well-founded body of principles to which every new observation in the field could be related. This is not so; and though we all build on the shoulders of our predecessors, working out our problems with their hypotheses and findings implicitly or explicitly in mind, yet every new piece of field-work is unique in some respects, and every new monograph raises unique problems of analysis and exposition. There is inevitably, therefore, a large personal element in an anthropological monograph.
One of my difficulties lay in the complexity of the material I have tried to present. It is commonly accepted that primitive societies are much simpler than ours, both in their cultural make-up and in their social and economic structure. But even a very simple cultural heritage or social organization may be composed of a large number of strands and elements whose interrelations make up a very elaborate pattern. Simplicity in this context is much more a value concept than a scientific category. In social science it is partly a question of how closely and with what discipline one examines the data. I should have found it much easier to write this book at the end of my first tour among the Tallensi, but it would have been inaccurate in some points and defective in many. I did not know enough about the External Bayar cult of the Hill Talis, for example, at the end of my first tour, to understand its significance in the social structure. Indeed, this and many other matters only became clear to me in the course of writing this book.

sorry man, jus messing around- FWIW I def would go smaller
well it's him and after various insults towards myself in posts and in private messages I was looking forward to him leaving this forum. since then he's been back with a couple different accounts however. always showcasing the same clothes and submerging MC with more posts per minute than stitches. good for him I say.
so please let me have my fun. at least this time he is contributing actual pictures of himself. still in daddies home office, though. imagine what his mom would say if he dared lighting that cigar
very 'Sir F/ Kalra' vibe, agreed

@ #4, the missions will be indicated on the map by a medical symbol(two snakes wrapped around a staff) and it says recovered memories. I may be wrong about the symbol, but that's what it looks like to me. Based on some of the content I believe it is only available after the main storyline of ACB.

this is probably named "GPS" because the Coordinates at the last mission could be entered into one.
The coordinates lead to a hole close to new york hinting the next game is in america. According to the assasins creed wiki George Washington was in possesion of the apple of eden and was a templar.

I am having a problem with the first dlc mission and need help. I talked to L and he sent me to the thief's guild for someone. The game took me there but I went off to get a couple chests I missed and used the sewers to get back. Now the blue target locater is gone and I can't find anyone in the guild to talk to.

In the AC:B folder you should have the DLC files, your save games and a file called 'title update 05' I think it was. It should be obvious anyway. Delete it. Restart game and it will prompt you for title update. Bingo.

Have you got the DLC?
it sounds silly but i tried getting a few achievements like drop a bag from a bag from a lift onto a guard and it didn't work before i downloaded the DLC.

We're creating a web-based tool for interacting with climate data. The Department of Energy's EPW files have a consistent format and are publicly available for almost every major city on Earth. This is great for data visualization, so here's the first step we took: observe and compare parameters from an EPW file for TMY Data.
While there are plenty of robust programs available for environmental simulation of modeled geometry, abstract climate analysis and our interaction with it requires improvement in the AEC industry.
As is the case with any parametric model, we learn about its properties through interaction. With a flexible interface, we can apply a forensic approach when learning about a given climate. We often compare humidity to temperature and radiation to illuminance, but are there other trends which we have overlooked? How about our intuitive assumptions? Do they align with the raw data? Our aim with this first pass is to provide an easy way to visualize EPW data, identify patterns in parametric relationships, and deduct conclusions on the climate based on visual feedback.The basic example above reveals some interesting things about Seattle when adjusting some of the viz parameters. By toggling through the X-axis, Y-axis, Radius, and Color display, we get an array of charts as represented below:
Now, this is looking rough and abstract and it may get even more so. While the above was a look at some temperature and humidity values, bear in mind that an EPW file offers 20+ parameters measured at every hour over the course of a typical meteorological year. There's much more data to be explored. Below is a demonstration of solar values, and this is setup with "date" in the X and "hours" in the Y to create the familiar heat map that we see in various climate visualization software:
Again, by making basic adjustments in the visibility settings, we can observe transitions between nodes to better understand the data (ie: does a y value move up or down when animating from a temperature trend to a humidity trend?) Some choice examples can be found in the images below:
When using the interface, one starts to understand that the radius and color parameters create significantly more complexity. These settings are optional so the user doesn't get overwhelmed by four-dimensional data on a two-dimensional canvas.And speaking of multi-dimensional complexity, many thanks to Kai Chang for his development of the parcoords library for D3JS. This library was essential in the design of this tool. For more on parallel coordinates, check out Kai's mind-altering presentation from OpenVisConf 2013.Lastly, we're ensuring that this interface remains generic for dealing with any range of data. We did some earlier work with optimization solvers and intend to implement an interface similar to this for optimization solvers. In the design for this post, we have parameter values pop-up when the mouse hovers over a target node. It's possible to turn this functionality into a fully interactive model for each node on a full landscape of optimization. Similarly, we can use a generic tool like this to study trends in occupancy comfort data as well as EMUs (Energy Monitoring Units).In conclusion, we're providing the interface for designers to test out on their projects. Click here to access the interface, have fun and let us know if you have any questions or learn something new about your climate.

For unique duo, sky is the limit
Montana Skies brings its guitar-cello fusion to Temecula this week
"I was surprised, because I was used to playing in string quartets and orchestra where there is so much music available," she said. "So it disappointed me. However, I understood that it may have also been due to the volume difference between the two instruments in the classical era … before amplification and more development of the instruments to be comparable acoustically in volume. Now, it is a legit pairing that I hope will continue to have loads of music written for it."
As for careers, their unique style has taken them all over the world.
"The question I have is, how do I really know if we've made a name for ourselves or not?" she said. "I guess seeing the full houses is the best way to know if you've made a name, and we've seen great strides with our venue sizes and ticket sales. I think that has mainly happened thanks to word of mouth and the Internet: People that know us connecting other folks they know to us."
Then again, how important is it to be well-known?
"It is such an interesting thing in music to be known or not," she said. "I think our genre of 'classical fusion' is such a niche that we will most likely not be a household name like big pop stars. I've met so many people that don't know legends of jazz fusion like Jean-Luc Ponty, who had his first radio hit in 1976! So if he doesn't have a name for himself …"
As for the shows, they are an eclectic blend of pieces.
"We don't focus on one or the other, of things that are done before or creating new things, because I think that is getting into the imagined head of our listeners too much and projecting what the world may think ... if we do an arrangement of something already covered a ton, or if we compose an original song," she said.
"There is no fun in being concerned with what people may think. When developing our music, we are directed by our inner love and spiritual connection to music and music making. So we aren't thinking out much of what we do other than the feeling that this is how we desire to express ourselves and that audiences support that choice."
Part of it is an attempt to stay true to themselves.
"There is an authenticity that we developed following our hearts this way through the music, and it has led us to a greater joy in sharing our music," she said. "I believe that because of the mindset to have joy in our music, it attracts all the positive effects we need."

Magazine article Foreign Policy
Grand Theft Solar
Article excerpt
Lincoln Dahl, managing director of a company that markets alternative energies to African businesses, recently stepped into a used solar panel shop in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. He had come in to scope out his competition's wares. A few of the shop's solar panels looked stolen, still bearing the nameplates of their original owners. "Theft is a problem," Dahl says. "We find that to be a compliment--that means that there's a demand."
After years of slow growth in solar use, a rash of solar panel theft on five continents suggests that the alternative power source may finally be catching on. Missing panels have been reported this year in Australia, Spain, and the United States, but it's in the developing world where solar theft has been most glaring. In July, South Africa scrapped a year-old program to install solar-powered traffic lights throughout the country because of their vulnerability to theft. Streetlight panels in Calcutta also went missing, leading city leaders to abandon a plan to expand their use. And throughout Latin America, thieves frequently plunder banks of mountain-top solar panels that power telecom and Internet services. "They end up destroying the system," complains Romulo Bisetti, regional sales director for Kyocera, a tech company that produces solar products. …

The Last Stand's Jaimie Alexander Explains Why She Wants To Be Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
By Eric Eisenberg 2013-01-18 14:10:19 comments
It sounds like you had a lot of input into your character, but Im also curious about working with Jee-woon Kim on that front because not only is this his first English-language feature its not his natural tongue. How did you deal with that language barrier?
You know, for me I think it worked better because sometimes words get in the way. When somebodys like, Now Id like you to do a little bit more of this, and then a little bit more of that and its not simple when somebody tells you nine things to do. Just put it into one or two words! And for him it was more of a visual thing. Like Arnold, hes super animated and that was his way of communicating a lot. You could just look at him and go, Okay, yeah. I know exactly what you want me to do. You just make eye contact, a few little things here or there. He would actually literally especially for me because I spent most of my time jumping out of the car on the roof or rolling around in the dirt or whatever he would get down and say, This is how I want you to be and lay down on the ground, one arm up because for him on camera he can see if your head was above this car its going to get shot. So you need to make sure that youre down low. So those were the types of things.
And when it came to emotional scenes I could just look at him and he would have almost the exact emotion on his face that my character would maybe experience in that scene, and it just made sense right away. Honestly, hes so fantastic.
Were you familiar with his work before working with him?
Yes, and the thing about that his shots He has a couple shots in the movie that are continuous, that dont cut, and nobody does that anymore. I mean, I saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, that may be the last time I saw it. Hes not cutting to close-ups all the time! Lets keep it going and show the realism of it!
You mentioned that you love doing action films and while Im not quite sure of the timeline when you filmed the movies, but this one is coming out right in between Thor and Thor: The Dark World. Obviously they are two very different characters, but did prepping for one help with prepping for the other, just in terms of the training process?
It was really funny. I was really sick before I got this role and I hadnt been able to really physically train in a couple of months, so when they said, Yeah, you have nine days, I was like, Ha! Thats not going to happen! But my thing is more about being healthy, not aesthetics wise, unless the character calls for that. But its more about I want to make sure that my back is strong so that I can do these things and do them realistically not hunch over So for me it was more about this woman is a deputy, theres a certain way and a protocol that you follow when youre handling weapon. And I cant just raise my arm and shoot the gun. [miming what its like to fire a weapon] Whatever side my gun is on, my hand touches that and the other hand touches the middle of your stomach. You draw the gun up into your stomach and out forward theres a certain way of doing things. I trained with an LAPD officer who was one of the stunt coordinators on the film. That was most of the training I did, it was like a formality to make sure I did everything right. To make sure that I look like a cop!
And I can see why you wouldnt want to overdo it also, as she is just a small-town cop.
Right! And for Sarah she would make sure that she did it right. Thats the thing. And its so funny because the main difference between me and that character is that in a way shes very straight-laced and does things by the book, and Im not. I dont take a conventional approach [laughs]. So it was fun to play somebody who was a little uptight with those things and eventually lets her hair down literally. Thats another reason the hair was down figuratively she lets it go.

so this past weekend i was changing out my rear cog for a little verity in my legs, you know, to keep the body guessing. And as i was tightening down the lockring I could help to feel that something had gone wrong, well something did. I stripped the threading, and since i ride brakeless this sort of posed a problem for me, or so i thought. As it turns out, I can still skid without a lockring... anyone else have and experience similar to this? or am I just pressing my luck?
as always, thanks

Racing isn't for everyone, but I'm curious just who raced, what kind of race and what they think of racing, in general. Tell us about your past races.
I raced 3 crits, a road race, and 3 XCs so far this season. I have 2 XC races scheduled before snow flies.
Racing is my main cycling motivator, and worry that I may give up cycling if I ceased racing. Probably not, but I wonder about it.

Very good
"Wonderful Weekend Getaway!"
My boyfriend and I, along with one other couple enjoyed a great two night stay at Wolf Creek cabin this past Valentine's Day! We loved how cozy and clean the cabin was! The hot tub is so relaxing with a few cups of hot chocolate! This cabin is located in a great location, about 25 minutes from Downtown Boone! Wonderful stay and will definitely stay here again!

So glad that you enjoyed your recent stay at our Wolf Creek cabin, especially the hot tub. You will definitely have to return again soon. Perhaps during another time of year when you can enjoy the hiking trails, fishing, etc.
Yes, our location is great and very easy access. We are approximately 13 miles from Boone - about 15 minutes, depending on traffic, weather, etc. to get into downtown Boone can add another 5 - 10 minutes.
Again, many thanks.

"Did not want to leave!"
My family and I just returned from a long weekend at Fall Creek Cabins where we rented the Wolf Creek cabin. We loved it! We had a great time on the trails and really enjoyed the seclusion this particular cabin offered. We found the cabin to be very clean and comfortable. Boone was also very convenient although we really found ourselves just wanting to stay at the cabin. Coffee on the back porch, the fireplace going (with supplied wood I might add)the sound of wind in the trees and the creek below. Wish we had a week to stay! I would recommend this for sure!

"Peace in the Woods"
we stayed in Wolf creek cabin which is nestled back in the woods. Really like that you can't see other cabins from the one we stayed in. Loved listening to the stream that runs below the cabin. Wish there were stairs down to the stream because it is steep, but worth the climb. The cabin was very clean and well kept. The property has well marked trails you can hike. Was very peaceful and nice that it was private so you didn't have traffic noise. We really enjoy our stay and will return.

"2nd time here, 2nd time fabulous!"
From the second we opened the door to Wolf Creek we knew it was again going to be the perfect stay. Everything was immaculate, and everything we needed was there. The location is so secluded and the beauty of the woods with the silence of everyday noise was what we loved the most. Just peace and quiet in the most beautiful setting. We are making this our yearly holiday!

This has been the best cabin weekend experience that our family has ever had and it started with my initial phone call with Beverly. She was excited to help me and offered lots of advice. Wolf Creek was perfect!! It was amaculate,roomy, had every cooking utensil imaginable, including microwave, blender, coffee pot and anything else you could imagine. The refrigerator was spotless and had an ice maker!!! There were lots of extra pillows, sheets, blankets, and more firewood than a family could ever use in a week. I could go on forever- it was awesome!!! Will definitely be back!

"Perfect, secluded get away close to home."
Wolf Creek Cabin was very secluded with a beautiful view of the creek. The cabin was immaculately clean and well stocked with all the necessary cookware and lines. The only slight issue we had was the very steep driveway. It rained all weekend (which only made the cabin more cozy) but made us realize upon depature we should have driven one of our 4 wheel drive vehicles. We are already planning our next trip and are now torn whether to try another cabin or stick with Wolf Creek. I didn't want to leave!!!

"Amazing Honeymoon at Fall Creek."
I just returned with my new wife from our honeymoon at Fall Creek cabins. The overall trip was amazing. The leaves are just getting ready to change colors in the Blue Ridge mountains, and the weather was perfect. The highlight of our trip though, was our stay at Wolf Creek cabins and our great interactions with the owners. The cabin itself is situated in a quiet location, away from lights, noise, and traffic. They make check in as easy as possible, leaving notes on how to get your keys, etc. The owners also go to great lengths to make sure all the cabins are safe, secure, and quiet. A gate at the front of the property makes sure no stray cars or people come in, and that only other guests have access to the property. All the cabins looked nice and well maintained, but I will focus my comments on wolf creek. The cabin was beautiful, and in excellent shape. It overlooked a quiet creek, and the hot tub on the back porch was a nice and appreciated touch. The cabin did not feel like a rental. It had plenty of nice furnishings, and was decorated with charm. It truly felt like our home for a week. The kitchen is fully stocked, and there are plenty of blankets, pillows, etc. the rooms were clean and spacious. There were instructions and books with local activities left in the living room. In short, they go to great lengths to make sure you have everything you need. Beverly even spent her own time helping me find the perfect place to take my wife horseback riding. I would recommend any of the cabins at Fall Creek, and Wolf Creek Cabin in particular if you want peace, quiet, and serenity during your stay.

"Amazing Getaway!"
We stayed in the Wolf Creek Cabin of the Fall Creek Cabins in august of 2010. This was one of the most romantic and relaxing trips that we have been on in quite some time!
The cabin was secluded and quiet but was only 20 minutes from shopping, dining and any amenities that you could desire. During our stay, we had an afternoon thunderstorm and we sat on the covered porch overlooking the creek and listened to the peaceful sounds of the storm and creek blended together. The cabin was beautifully decorated and extremely cozy. It was very clean and comfortable.
We hiked along the creek trail and took photos along the way. We will return to Fall Creek Cabins again and would highly recommend them to anyone!

"A Taste of Heaven"
If you want to stay in a secluded gated community with all the amenities you could possible need, your search is over with Fall Creek Cabins! We've been staying there for approx. 4 years and have never been disappointed. We even make it a bi-annual event and always look forward to the next visit when leaving. We've stayed at Blueberry Hideaway and Wolf Creek cabins. They are always well stocked with cooking utensils, plates, silverware, towels, well you name it and they have it. It's wonderful to enjoy sitting on the decks watching the deer and Ricky Raccoon and there are no complaints while sitting in the hot tub either. You're a short drive from Boone and Blowing Rock in one direction and Wilkesboro in the other. This provides plenty of entertainment and shopping should you decide to leave the hot tub! We would highly recommend these cabins to anyone.

So the first craft-a-long at Misi....The theme is spring and you have to include flowers. Thought it may inspire me to actually make something. I have a few ideas buzzing around in my head. Scarf, headband, bag. Not sure. I have to now repair the spinning wheel and prepare some fleece. Its quite exciting to see the number of people that have signed up. It open to anyone you don't need to have a shop, just be a crafty person.
If you want to join in visit misi forum and pop your name down. I think I am more excited at the thought of what others will make

After working with departing editor-in-chief Eugene Hernandez for over ten years at indieWIRE, Managing Editor Brian Brooks will fill in as acting editor-in-chief until SnagFilms CEO Rick Allen completes his search for a replacement. It's been an emotional time at indieWIRE, as the site's co-founder Hernandez leaves after fifteen years to start his first day at the Film Society of Lincoln Center as director of digital strategy.
Hernandez, who will continue to feed his IW blog (http://blogs.indiewire.com/eug), writes in parting: "I am deeply proud of everything I've accomplished with the team at indieWIRE, which itself is embarking on a terrific new chapter.
