Irrational with Respect to What?
In Thinking Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman draws on a lot of empirical studies where subjects make clearly irrational decisions.

But one of the studies Kahneman cites doesn't seem to fit into this model.In the experiment, subjects placed a hand into painfully cold water and had to keep it there for 60 seconds.

Quasi-Transhumanist Charismatic Christians
This post is part of Patheos's book club for T.M. Luhrmann's When God Talks Back: Understanding the American Evangelical Relationship with God. I recieved a review copy free of charge.This was a fascinating book to read right on the heels of Thinking Fast and Slow, because both books seemed to be mostly about changing our intuitions and heuristics. Luhrmann is embedded in a charismatic sect of Christianity. No snake-handling, but plenty of two-way dialogue with Jesus and what Luhrmann calls … [Read more...]
When Do You Reject Your Intuitions?
A while ago, a commenter emailed me to ask if I could recommend any books to read on human cognitive bias, and now that I've finished Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, I can, with great enthusiasm. When we study flaws in human reasoning, we usually start with glaring ones, and find out that they're just the most obvious examples of a broader problem (and the subtler errors are the more pernicious ones). In the book, Kahneman has a really interesting riff on the Müller-Lyer il … [Read more...]

Aquamanilia are pitchers in the form of humans or animals that are used for liturgical or secular hand washing. They were first produced in western Europe during the twelfth century as a result of direct contact with more refined Islamic civilization during the Crusades. In the age before forks, the Muslim practice of hand washing before and after meals, would have impressed Europeans, as did the vessels they used in the process.
Mounted horsemen were a popular form. This rider wears the long coat of a falconer; probably a bird perched on his missing left arm. Falcons were first trained and used for hunting in the Islamic world.

Comment From Mark A: Is there any way that this trend could be reversed without a massive public policy shift? It seems to me that the demand for the bottom end of the labour market has been steadily declining (offshoring, big box retail, online retail) and will only continue to decline. As the world gets increasingly efficient at selling things without paying bottom of the ladder labour, how can you ever fix this without government intervention?
Armine Yalnizyan: Mark, your question has two parts. One is how we pay each other in the production of goods and services for which there is essentially no global competition. The other is how Canadians are paid in a labour market that is essentially global in nature. We can redress some of the vagaries of the market through public policies, but the root cause of growing inequality is how different peoples' work is valued. IN a slow growth environment, which seems to be the foreseeable future for Canada, it will become harder and harder for those at the top of corporate structures to take the types of increases they have been commanding in the marketplace and expect unionized workers to be happy about losing their pension, benefits and wage increases, and expect low-end workers to essentially stay put or lose more ground. Two things can happen - those at the top start moderating their increases; or those in the middle and the bottom start seeing solid increases, particularly as the wave of retirements starts accelerating. The problem with rising incomes, generally, is that usually goes along with rising prices; and we're about to host the largest cohort of retirees we've ever had in history, a group that lives on fixed and low incomes, to whom rising prices are toxic. So how will the highest priced workers get away witih demanding more in that context I wonder?
Comment From batgirl: On the flip side, is there any evidence that increasing in income equality is correlated with increasing growth in GDP?
Armine Yalnizyan: Good Question, Batgirl! The answer is NOPE. At least, it's not a linear correlation. Historically, increasing economic growth first deliver rising inequality, then lowering inequality (Simon Kuznets' famous work back in the 1950s). That's still true of developing nations - economic growth is first badly distributed, then leads to demands for greater equality. Then we've come to this stage of advanced capitalism in some developed nations (US, UK and Canada for example) where growth has been accompanied by stunning increases in inequality; and other advanced industrialized nations where it hasn't (the typical suspects - Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, etc. etc.) So no one-size-fits-all explanations for the relationship between GDP growth and inequality. Raises the question: why wouldn't you pick greater equality?
Comment From Hassan Ali: my question is given the difficulty associated with measuring income inequality in GDP for example, what policies can help to measure income inequality?
Armine Yalnizyan: Hassan, while there are no "industry standards" on how to measure income inequality, there are many ways of doing so (ratios of the top 10 to bottom 10%; or the top to bottom 20%; or the Gini Coefficient) , and a number which are used internationally. Some people think it's important to look at poverty. Others think it's important to look at the share of income and wealth held by those at the top. They all contribute to an understanding of how the gains from economic growth are distributed/concentrated, which tells us something about our collective expectations and our future prospects.
Comment From John Campey: Armine, what yould you see as the key "message" or specific policy initiative that could engage and motivate people (beyond the inner circle of the 'converted') to take this on in a significant way?Report Typo/Error

Granite Tile Discoloration during installation
I need help with a discoloration problem I'm having installing 12in Madura Gold granite tiles on a bar countertop
Here's the steps I've taken:
1) 3/4in plywood base
2) Hardibacker Backerboard, screwed down.
3) Mixed Thinset from Lowes using brand Laticrete 220 Marble & Granite White Mortar
4) Spread thinset on backerboard using a 1/4in trowel and backbutter the Madura Gold tile and bed in mortar.
The problem is that after 30 minutes the face of the tile dramatically changes color, as if it's in the process or curing and stays that way. I've waited 24 hours and face of the tile is still discolored (went from a light colored tile, to a dark color tile).
What am I doing wrong? And are the tiles salvagable somehow? I'm starting to get a lot of money tied up in this project.
Calm down, calm down.
What you are seeing is simply moisture from the thinset that has permeated the stone. It will go away, but not in twenty-four hours. Depending on atmospheric conditions at your location it could take a couple of weeks to dry out. It happens all the time.
WHATEVER YOU DO - DON'T apply any sealer to that stone until it has dried completely.
You can also expect the edges to darken from moisture after you grout.
Be patient.:)
Bud, Thanks so much for the quick response and easing my fears.
I haven't sealed the tile yet, or grouted, so I'll wait. I'll plan on giving the tile the time it needs to dry out. :thumbsup:
The local Home Depot tile person mentioned sealing the back of the tile PRIOR to installation, but I don't plan on doing this. Nothing I've found in researching has indicated sealing the back of the tile before beding in mortar should be done.
I plan on taking your advice and am confident things will turn out just fine.
You never want to seal the back of any tile, this would only compromise the bond. I don't know where those characters get some of the nonsense they so willingly give to people.:(
My granite also discolored....Can I grout before the color comes back? VER PANICKED
Having the same problem.
I am having the same problem. Can I grout the floor before it is completely dried or do I have to wait until it,s dried.
You can grout the granite before all the moisture goes away. I would wait an extra day or so if possible though. Just wait a few weeks to seal the grout. The trapped moisture would still evaporate thru the grout and sealer, just a bit slower.
Hey BuletBob, You're implying that there is someone at those stores that are true experts in the use and installation of ceramic tiles. Will you please let everyone know at which location he/she can be found? :no:
I am having similar issue but appears worse as 4 weeks has passed.
I had installed granite tile for a shower enclosure over cement hardy backer board. It is Perla Rosa granite - a very light grey color with pink and mica flecks. The adhesive used was Tile and Stone Adhesive recommended by the tile store - not a thinset but it is described as a mastic. Mastic was applied with a trowel. Almost immediately the tile became dark and discolored. The mastic container said not to use on water sensative stone but that is what was recommended by the tile store. Using a fan on the tile, I gave it almost a month to dry but when it did not, I contacted the tile store who were intially sympathic. They even contacted the mastic representative but then became unwilling to assist with any abatement and blamed the tile installer. I have a service now with a dehumidifier and 3 industrial fans attempting to dry out the tile. Some tile are getting lighter and some are showing movement of the water with the development of serpiginous, almost geographic areas. i have had the fans and dehumidifer in the room for 5 days now :eek: and it is about 105 degrees in there. What is the prognosis for the tiles. Any advice is appreciated. The tile company is a nationwide retailer so I will not name them but can provide more information if needed. Many thanks.
See if the "mastic" label reports the chemical contents (makeup) of the mastic and determine if any of those ingredients contain any oils. Do you see where this is going?:)
here is the link to the Product info and MSDS sheet:
Many thanks for your quick response!!:eek:
It says right there 'not for shower floors'. Take it out and do it right.
Or take a number of showers and watch as the mastic dissolves away down the drain, then just pick up your tiles...
Don't waste your time trying to find ingredients in US MSDSs. Half of them are phony or 'hidden' ingredients anyway...and certainly not from Mapei. They're too big and too good to give you their recipes. The best you'll learn is that a mastic contains a PVA resin.
That's like saying "My Rolls-Royce has an engine...":laughing:
this is for shower surround. not floor.
Oh, OK Paul s, my bad. I just assumed your shower included the floor. :(
But the gist of my reply remains. The fact is that mastic is an organic adhesive usually in the form of an emulsion of PVA resin in an organic solvent carrier. A bit like a paint...without colour.
I am not sure of the water content of mastics (if any) but I can say that the solvents may or may not fully evaporate once the resin has polymerised to form the adhesive function. But either way, it is water-sensitive, so much so that running water, or high humidity, with time, will break it down. So it's fine for a backsplash - but nowhere near a shower.
And although I have nothing against mastic as a product, there was a time when the advertizing would not specifically say "not for showers" so a lot of people got burned when their tiles just fell off. It's better nowadays but the wording is very well selected, IMO. :yes:
The evaporation of the solvents in mastic will affect the look of the tiles especially if the tile is anywhere absorbant. Solvents have lower surface tension than water normally and therefore can 'wet' a surface easier. This translates into more or less visibility of stains through the tile. Now some stains may disappear with time but the whole concept of staining just shouldn't be an issue than a tile setter should hang his hat upon IMO.
We know thinset and how it works. Mastic is a different horse...:laughing:
granite discoloraton
Is ther anything you can do if you've alredy applied sealant to granite, and moisture from the thinset has soaked through? Is there anything I can apply to the granite to reverse the sealing effect? Or is there a possibility the granite will EVENTUALLY dry out? If anyone has a possible solution, please help?
Yours trully, idiot DIYer

Jobs Summit
At the Portland Business Alliance's Jobs Summit, 140 public and private leaders gathered to discuss the economic trends impacting the Portland-metro region, such as declining wages and incomes and substantial job losses in Multnomah County.
Attendees agreed on a vision for the Portland region: create a vibrant and prosperous regional economy that generates family-wage jobs and sufficient tax revenues to support critical public services. Attendees then set out to create a list of near- and long-term action items to help achieve that vision.
During the summit on January 21, 2011, economists John Tapogna of ECONorthwest and Tim Duy of the University of Oregon framed the causes and implications of the economic challenges the region faces and outlined some solutions to those challenges.
Summit attendees also heard from business owners as well as public sector leaders such as Portland Mayor Sam Adams, Multnomah County Chair Jeff Cogen and Metro President Tom Hughes about what it takes to create jobs in the Portland region.
Break-out sessions provided the opportunity for Jobs Summit attendees to delve deeper into issues of interest, such as:
- Education
- Land Availability
- Transportation/Infrastructure
- Tax Policy
- Business Climate/Regional Economic Development
- Small Business/Innovation
- Jobs in the Urban Core
Each break-out session compiled near- and long-term action items for their issue and Jobs Summit attendees voted on their priorities.
The Alliance compiled the action items and identified the various entities that would take the lead, such as business organizations, public leaders and universities. You can read the Job Summit Action Plan and additional priorities below:
If you have thoughts and opinion about our action plan, we would like to hear from you.

Pizza Hut announces the introduction of two mobile ordering options that allow customers to order pizza from their mobile phones at any of the chain's 6,200 outlets nationwide via text messaging or mobile Web.
Pizza Hut is not the first to offer mobile ordering services - Dominoes and Papa John's offer similar services - but the Dallas-based company says its service, dubbed "Total Mobile Access" is the broadest and most comprehensive.
"Text messaging and mobile Web are an integral part of millions of Americans' lives...and online ordering has become one of the fastest growing segments of our business in recent years," says Brian Niccol, Pizza Hut CMO. "We're excited that these fast, flexible ordering options can be used to order Pizza Hut pizza."

Jean Pascal Zanders, an independent researcher who specializes in chemical and biological weapons and disarmament, said that in videos of the aftermath of the attacks, the hue of the victims' faces appeared to show many suffered from asphyxiation.
However, he said the symptoms they exhibited were not consistent with mustard gas or the nerve agents VX or sarin. Mustard gas would cause blistering of the skin and discoloration, while the nerve agents would produce severe convulsions in the victims and also affect the paramedics treating them — neither of which was evident from the videos or reports.
"I'm deliberately not using the term chemical weapons here," he said. "There's plenty of other nasty stuff that was used in the past as a chemical warfare agent, so many industrial toxicants could be used too."

iTunes Plus
I've always been a fan of iTunes, but one downfall of the iTunes Store is the licensing restrictions placed on the music (Digital Rights Management or DRM) that stops you from using your music in various ways. I don't know about you, but where I live, it's illegal to try to get around the DRM rules. So, when Apple announced a new service in the iTunes Store, I was really happy! Most iTunes music downloads now come with iTunes Plus, which is higher quality and no DRM. If you're interested in learning more about that, keep reading. I'll tell you how you can get new music with iTunes Plus and even upgrade your old tunes. Let's go!
Buying New Songs with iTunes Plus
iTunes Plus is included by default on most songs in all iTunes Stores (U.S., U.K., etc.), so all you have to do is download! You'll know if the song is iTunes Plus if there's a plus sign (+) next to the song's price.
Upgrading Your Old Songs
Unfortunately, if you bought songs before iTunes Plus was introduced and you want to remove the DRM restrictions from them, you have to pay a fee of $0.30 per song. If you'd still like to do that though, here's how:
1.) Go to the iTunes Store homepage, scroll down until you see the iTunes Plus ad and then click on it.
2.) You should see all of your non-iTunes Plus songs and the option to buy an upgrade to iTunes Plus. If you want to do that, simply click on the Buy button.
And you're done! Now, all you have to do is sit back and wait for the downloads to finish. Enjoy!

Bahamian Grilled Fish
This recipe comes from a cook shack in Nassau in the Bahamas, but it typifies the way fish is cooked throughout the Caribbean. You start with fish so fresh it was swimming just a few hours earlier. You rub it with Bahamanian goat peppers—similar in size and heat to the fiery Scotch bonnet—then marinate it in a mixture of garlic, ginger and fresh lime juice before grilling. You'll marvel at how something so simple can light up your mouth.
Steve Raichlen can't think of a more perfect dish for a Caribbean-style cookout. No sweat in the preparation and no sweat in the grilling. This method is usually applied to whole fish—pompano is certainly best—but he has adapted it here for more universally available fish fillets, which are equally delicious though less dramatic in the presentation.
Slideshow: Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Servings: 4
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 Scotch bonnet chile, seeded and thinly sliced
- Four 6- to 8-ounce fish fillets, such as striped bass, sea bass, mahimahi or bluefish
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Lime wedges and hot sauce, for serving
How to make this recipe
In a large shallow glass or ceramic dish, combine the olive oil with the garlic, lime juice, ginger and chile. Add the fish fillets and turn to coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Light a grill. Remove the fillets from the marinade and scrape off most of the garlic and ginger pieces. Season the fish with salt and pepper and grill over a medium-hot fire for about 3 minutes per side or until nicely browned and barely cooked in the center. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce.
Suggested Pairing
Bière de garde, an amber-colored medium-bodied beer made during the winter in the north of France, is more fragrant than a lager, more musty and earthy than a pale ale. Jade is the most authentic and it is also organic.

Sony will launch the PlayStation 4 in just one flavor: a $399 SKU with a 500 GB harddrive and a single color: black. Sony will no doubt expand the offerings over the next few years with different bundles and console colors, as they have with all their previous home consoles. And now we can speculate just how the PlayStation 4 would look like in different color configurations.
Check out the image above — we're particularly fond of the ceramic white one. Sony has previously released the PS2 and PS3 in ceramic white, and those have since become somewhat of a collector's item. It's unlikely that we'll see Sony release the PlayStation 4 in different colors for at least another year or two.

City Sports Scores New Retail Locations for 2013
Specialty athletic retailer kicks off 30th anniversary with new stores at Chestnut Hill, New York City sites
05 Mar, 2013, 09:00 ET from City Sports
BOSTON, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- City Sports today announced plans for a pair of new retail locations in 2013 including a new site for its Chestnut Hill store, set for a March 16 opening to coincide with the brand's 30th anniversary. City Sports continues the festivities with a second spring opening in New York City's financial district, slated to be the retailer's largest location to date.
A fixture in Chestnut Hill since 1996, City Sports looks to freshen the brand's neighborhood presence at its new location, joining WS Development's much-anticipated "The Street" shopping complex along Route 9. City Sports is planning a grand opening party for customers next weekend that will include raffles worth over $500 in City Sports merchandise as well as an appearance by former Patriot and ESPN analyst Matt Light.
"We couldn't think of a better way to kick off City Sports' 30th birthday than with the housewarming of our new home in Chestnut Hill," said City Sports President and CEO Edward Albertian. "We have always been embraced by the Chestnut Hill community, and we look forward to offering our customers an unparalleled shopping experience in this exciting new City Sports store at The Street."
At over 9,200 square feet, the new Chestnut Hill space hosts the ultimate shopping experience for the urban athlete, including new and expanded departments for women's apparel, footwear, youth and team sports. The brand's signature women's offering showcases an updated pant wall and one of the most comprehensive sports bra collections available anywhere in retail. City Sports' established footwear department also gets an upgrade with an in-store track and treadmill to test out more than 300 styles. Other highlights include a beefed-up product offering for youth and team sports, and an expertly staffed racquet sports department with full-time racquet stringing and demo services.
The City Sports Chestnut Hill grand opening party will take place on Saturday, March 16 at 10 a.m. The first 100 customers through the door will receive a gift bag containing a $10 store gift card and giveaways from City Sports and Nike, with one lucky winner receiving the grand prize: one free pair of shoes a month for a year. Three-time Super Bowl champ Light will be on hand to sign autographs for fans from 11 to 12:30 p.m. Additional festivities include a 5K fun run sponsored by Nike, free raffles, a DJ and refreshments.
In addition to the Chestnut Hill revamp, City Sports will open a brand new location at 50 Broadway in New York City, slated to open at the end of March. At over 10,500 square feet, the bi-level space will feature an open floor plan and many other details that nod to the building's origins as a bank. This store will mark City Sports' third location in NYC.

- - I need to stop walking in the dark! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/stories/196343-i-need-stop-walking-dark.html)
I need to stop walking in the dark!
Bear and I leave the house every morning before 6 am because it's the only time I can give him a good walk before I leave for work.
This morning we get to the other side of our house and there's a culvert that's meant to hold run off water, but it is overgrown and lots of critters hide in there. Bear freezes and is on high alert. I froze and listen, I could hear rustling in the bushes below and then Bear lets out a deep bark.
I hurry him along and shine my flashlight in the culvert but couldn't see anything. A little further up I'm still shining my flashlight and I see two pairs of eyes, they're coyotes. I normally don't worry when I see one, but I don't like seeing two. The entire walk (we're surrounded by open space) Bear keeps looking behind him. I'm worried that they're trailing us.
Now it's towards the end of our walk and we're on the last stretch of open space trail and I see more eyes coming towards us, but this time it's much taller. I shine my flashlight and it's a four point buck several yards ahead. Thankfully he decided to go the other way.
I know living in the foothills we see all kinds of animals, but I think I'd like to not see anymore for a while, especially after the last Bear encounter. :)
EEEK ... yeah, one of the reasons I'm glad I live in suburbia ... don't run into much wildlife on my 5 am jaunts!
Glad you're ok ...
Sounds like an episode out of animal planet, thanks for sharing it with us.
I totally hear you, I am also up and out at the crack of dawn. I've been waiting longer to go out but then I start running late for work. I don't have bears or coyote's but since it is hunting season I have to be aware of that. Over the years I've heard of the lone jogger or something getting attached by a pyscho or such, glad I always have a dog or 3 with me. I've just started heading back into the trails so I don't have to worry about a car or truck hitting us.
What about a loud sound to scare off anything out there?
What I really find interesting is that he barked at the coyotes (or the sound and smell of them) but when we encountered the buck and previously the bear, he did not bark but his hackles did go up.
I'm wondering what his reasonings are for being discriminite in whether he will bark or not. I just find it very curious.
I've also wondered why Joey barks at some things/people, but not others.
We walk in the dark too as I leave for work at 6:30 AM. The worst we deal with is cats and lose dogs.
I live in the country and now that the sun is only out for 2 hours a day my nightly runs are in the dark. We do have coyotes around here but I think my imagination is the worst thing I have to deal with. Oh and the cars that go 90 mph down the back country roads.
I think the buck would have scared me more. They are known to attack. Can you carry bear spray or something with you?
YIKES! We have a lot of coyotes in our area and we never had any problems with them at all. We used to only have an electric fence for our dogs. One night our dog came tearing back to the house with 2 coyotes on her tail. They were so close to getting her that she actually had coyote slobber on her hind end. This is the one and only time this happened and the only time we ever saw more than one at a time. It was scary that's for sure.

text: I know we have around 20 games left before the playoffs, but I was wondering what kind of active rosters we'll have against our potential opponents: Boston Cleveland Orlando etc... I think in a series with Boston, Amir's lack of size and his inability to effectively guard KG will leave him out of the series (Perkins and Big Baby are big bodies that push AJ around). Samb won't be there either, but the third guy out may be Herrmann, putting three bigs out of the match. We might end up benching Juan Dixon or Afflalo as the third man out and keeping Amir in the mix. So Boston: Samb, Amir, Herrmann out or Samb, Herrmann, Afflalo/Dixon Against Cleveland we'll need to match or at least chip away at their rabid rebounders (Ben and Side show bob), that means definitely AJ, but also maybe Hermann too. I think Juan Dixon, and Lindsey Hunter would match up well with Boobie Gibson. As for helping Tayshaun with Lebron... I have no idea. I know Samb will be out, but not sure about anybody else. So Cleveland: Samb out for sure, unknown others Against Orlando I think Amir should def be out there with the forward tandem of Turkolu and Lewis. Amir is athletic and quick enough to guard those guys and provide energy. Orlando has a small guard in Nelson, so maybe we'll need some Juan Dixon for that. Not sure who to bench, I assume Sheed, Dyess, and Ratliff will work Dwight for most/all the time. So Orlando: Samb out, unknown others

Gucci Mane BEEFS with The Game!
Finally Gucci Picks On Someone His Own Size (Sort Of)
Acccording thesource.com, In a case of "we didn't see this one coming " , Gucci Mane La'flare has released a semi scathing diss track aimed at the newly independent artist The Game. The diss comes a little less than 2 weeks from the release date of Gucci's next project The White Album (due 6/17), and with Gucci Mane currently incarcerated a diss record may just be the promo he thinks is necessary to push his album awarness to the next level.
Gucci has been known to be a mad man of sorts going after any and everybody in the past few years, , but if there is anyone in the rap "game" (pun intended) who equally gives no fucks it would be Jaceyon Taylor few examples of case in point: 50 cent & G-Unit, Jay Z, 40 glocc, the list goes onnnnn.

If you want to compute integrals of this type, you are better off
working with the generating function, (1 - 2 x z + z^2)^(-1/2), anyway:
Assuming[Abs[z] < 1 && m > -1,
Integrate[(1 - 2 x z + z^2)^(-1/2), {x, -1, m}]]
This gives you a simple general expression. Series expansion in z of
this result gives you the result you require.

The New ADDitude Forums Are Live!Reach our full community by posting to ADDitude's discussion forums here
Parents of ADHD Children
Oh, this breaks my heart
Well, here I go again making a decision that makes my son (ADHD, written expression disorder, processing issues, exec functioning issues, high intelligence) very sad, but that is probably in his best interest.
He started out in public school, with noisy hallways, large class sizes, and teachers who had no clue how to work with ADHD kids. We did have two really good teachers, but the others were pretty damaging to his self-esteem. My son was starting to slip through the cracks, and the social environment was getting very hard on such a sensitive kid.
With limited choices, we moved to a Montessori charter school. He LOVES being able to choose his subjects and he loves the campus, which is out in the country, quite a ways away. Problem is that the self-directed style that is the Montessori method is not working for him. No surprise there, but it was worth a try, and he does love the calm atmosphere and the absence of bullying. The school doesn't like having to provide extra assistance to kids like my son though, and they complain about it often. He needs too many reminders. He's not getting enough done. He can't stay on task. Yes, I know all that. Yes, I know he needs reminders. That's why he was finally approved for an IEP, but they still don't want to cooperate and I get tired of the complaints.
I know he needs more structure and guidance. But, hearing your son say each day that he LOVES school and can't wait to get there is worth a ton in my book. But, this school also can't provide OT or very much in the way of ESE services in those areas where he is deficient, like writing/thought organization, so I went today and looked at the only remaining school in town that I hadn't yet considered.
It's a small charter school, with small class sizes, and they have an OT on site. They also have an ESE person on-site. I toured the school and I'm okay with it. It's nothing to look at compared with what he has now, but they do provide the all-important services that he is currently missing, and that has to be my priority, I guess.
My son cried when I told him that I want to take him to see the school on Friday, and that I think it's a move that we need to make, especially since he starts middle school next year and he could start along with the other newbies. If he waits another year, he would be jumping in mid-stream when friendships are already established, and it would be impossible for him socially. So, the time to do it is at the end of this school year, which is nearly upon us.
He loves where he is, but it's not right for him academically and he's not learning as much as he should and he's not getting the services he needs. His love of the school carried a lot of weight with me for a while, and he has been there for two years, but he needs more if he is going to develop the academic skills he needs to move forward.
He hurts right now and that makes me hurt SO, so much. I hate being responsible for that pain, and hate that we were both brought to tears, once again, by a system that just doesn't do enough to help these kids who learn differently and have difficulty conforming to what's "normal." It breaks my heart, again. And my son's heart, too. :(

What They'd Love to Ask Jack -- Part 2
Readers still have questions for former GE CEO Jack Welch -- about everything from GE's stock to politics
As announced in early February, former General Electric CEO Jack Welch is now writing a book that will address nitty-gritty business questions. BusinessWeek Online has been asking readers if they have any questions for Welch and his co-author/fiancee, former Harvard Business Review editor Suzy Wetlaufer. Here are some of the readers' responses.
Charting a Career Path
Many people have ambitions to become business leaders in their companies. How did you manage your desire to move up the GE corporate ladder? When and how did you set yourself a target to achieve a specific position? When did that target become GE's CEO? Was it just when Reg Jones decided to retire or much earlier?

Revving Up GE's Stock
What does GE (GE ) need to do to get some positive momentum behind its stock price? It has been a dog for the last three years, and it is still 50% off its high. When Jack was in charge, the board instituted the stock buy-back program, indicating that GE stock was the best investment they could make. If it was a good investment at 40, it's a great buy at 32.

Corporate Reorganization
I have seen and heard of many companies, or groups within companies, that go through "reorganization" every two or three years. Most of the time, the management team does not have clear goals or objectives that they can convey to the staff. Do you feel that this a reasonable approach to leading a company/group?

How do you make sure that internal "self-confidence" is not perceived as "arrogance" by the outside world?

Political Ambitions?
Jack Welch has said he will never go near politics. Please reconsider this. You should train our politicians to move out of the way when they realize that they cannot govern 82.6 million people. Jack Welch knows about leadership, and he is capable of communicating and addressing leadership issues in a vibrant corporation -- globally. I speak for Germany.

We already saw a few releases of the Nike Air Max Omega Pack (Air Max 1 and Air Maxim 1), and arriving in mid-August are two great colorways of the super-light and super-comfy Nike Air Max 90 Current Moire. Sneaker News gave you a first look at the Air Max 90 Current Moire Omega Pack in mid-April when we showed you a sample of the red colorway, and it looks like a black/white pair will drop as well. The Omega Pack label is on the tongue, and the special insole you saw i the sample version will probably return as well. Check out the two colorways after the jump and pre-order your pair over at Crooked Tongues.

Incoming Trojan Drew Edelman Wins Gold At Maccabiah Games
July 29, 2013
USC women's basketball incoming freshman Drew Edelman will bring some hardware along with her when she reports for duty at Troy. As a member of the USA's 15-18 girls' team at this month's Maccabiah Games, Edelman helped lead the U.S. squad to a gold-medal finish at the competition in Israel.
Edelman, a post player who comes to USC from Menlo School in Atherton, Calif., came up big for the USA at the 2013 Maccabiah Games. She scored 15 points when the United States first faced Canada during preliminary action, then later doubled up on that effort with a 30-point game in the final. Edelman also served up 18 points in the prelims against Australia, then added 19 when the teams met again in the semifinals. Against Israel in prelim play, Edelman scored 27 points for her Team USA squad.
Edelman will be joined by Courtney Jaco as USC's incoming freshman class for 2013-14, joining their fellow Women of Troy for the first season of competition under new head coach and Trojan great Cynthia Cooper-Dyke. Edelman won't be the only gold-medalist on the squad this season, as she follows senior Cassie Harberts' trip to the top of the podium at the World University Games with Team USA.

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found throughout the body, including muscles. It has recently received a lot of publicity about its ability to increase endurance, muscle strength and lean body mass when taken as a supplement.
Things You'll Need
- Sports Apparel & Shoes
- Creatine
Begin with a loading dose. The loading dose ranges between 12 and 20 g, depending on your weight and the frequency and intensity of your workouts. The larger you are and the more frequently and intensely you work out, the higher the dose.
Take the loading dose in divided doses. Try for three or four times a day.
Continue the loading dose for five days.
Switch to maintenance phase after completing the initial loading dose phase. Again, the maintenance dose depends on your weight and the frequency and intensity of your workouts. The maintenance dose is between 4 and 12 g per day.
Take in divided doses three or four times a day.
Use immediately after exercising, as it will help repair your muscles faster.
Take for one to three months.
Drink water when you take creatine. It will help facilitate absorption.
Tips & Warnings
- The long-term effects of high dosages of creatine are unknown, and there has been concern that it may be damaging to the kidneys and liver. Speak with your doctor if you have any concerns about taking it, especially if you have any ongoing medical conditions.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I have placed several orders for baskets to be delivered to Split, Croatia and I have been thoroughly impressed with the service and customer support received. The gifts have been delivered exactly when requested and have been an exact match to those pictured on the website. I would highly recommend giftbasketsoverseas to anyone wishing a delivery of flowers, chocolates etc to loved ones overseas. Order with complete confidence in their ability to deliver!!! Well done team! I shall be using your services again."
Danny Cetin - Carrum Downs, Victoria, Australia - May 5, 2011
"I am so impressed with the service. Was punctual and they did everything they could to make it on time. They even went out of their way when the phone number was not working to try other means to contact the recipient. Will always use this company for my international and local gifts. I strongly recommend this company to everyone I know that is looking for gift delivery or any other service they provide."
Ben Mason - New York, NY - Jan 7, 2013
"Despite knowing about the advance ordering disclaimer, I ordered the gift on the 24th (from California) and was hoping to get it delivered on the 25th (to Belgrade). As soon as I placed my order one of their reps called me asking me to confirm the delivery address... I said fine but it'll have to wait until tomorrow because my int'l friend is asleep at the moment. I woke up the next day and my friend was in tears because she got the gift delivered. Figuratively speaking, I was floored. I couldn't believe that within a few hours they were able to figure out the delivery address and have it shipped to her. All of their reps are amazing and will go above-and-beyond in making sure you're a satisfied customer. In 30 years I have never experienced better customer service -- A+++ all the way."
Ned - CA, USA - Apr 25, 2014
"We were looking for a service that could send a holiday gift to a friend of ours who lives in Bucharest, Romania. Experience has shown this is NOT an easy thing to do if trying to mail the gift yourself from the USA (and of course you are quite limited in what you can send from here to Europe, and of course there are Customs charges as well!). With Gift Baskets Overseas, we were able to avoid such difficulties. We picked out a lovely gift basket of goodies for our friend which we assume were sent from the U.K. thereby avoiding Customs fees and exorbitant shipping charges from the U.S. The gift basket arrived on time in Bucharest, and the delivery service there went the extra mile to find our friend who was not at the office that day to insure her gift was delivered. She was very excited and pleased and so are we."

Hello there everyone!
I haven't been on here lately. I got on to update my build thread a little and to give you all a very details and the most honest review I can regarding Anarchy Motive and their product.
Now, don't jump to conclusions; I am not on here to bad-mouth the company. I am going to give the most honest and fair review that I possibly can.
Okay First things first...(some back-story)
Around September, I was in the market for a new shift knob. I am sure we can all agree that the stock WRX knob is simply, very bland. I really enjoyed how it felt in-hand but I hated the way it looked. I came here and scoured the forums for what most people were purchasing. I also checked out RSD to see their offerings. What I quickly concluded was that RSD had the COBB and Perrin knobs which were "affordable" but they didn't really peak my interest. Many of you suggest WC Latheworks and I was very interested in their products. However, I just couldn't find the one I wanted. I was very interested in the teardrop shaped ones and the optional copolymer was definitely enticing. I believe that was a GF4 Hybrid that really caught my eye. The price tag, well that was a little discouraging. I know, I know... "You gotta pay to play." I am very familiar with this saying; more-so now that I own a WRX!
So I keep searching, searching for something that is minimal, something that is affordable, something that isn't mass produced in a factory (COBB/Perrin/etc). I would constantly see Flossy Knob promos via Instagram. So I did what anyone would, I checked their products out too. I was very interested in their product. It was simple, it was heavy, and it isnt mass produced. I let the thought of the Flossy Knob simmer on the back burner for a while. Read some reviews, many good ones and a handful of poor reviews.
Not much later, A friend of mine mentions Anarchy Motive. He says how he's gonna order one soon. I quickly check out their website and their Facebook page. I find that their site was very simple. Maybe too simple in my opinion, but it works. I Email them to ask a few questions about their products.
After sending an Email to Anarchy Motive (AM), I received an email back from them almost immediately. He (Derrick) answered all my questions quickly and honestly. Derrick was a pleasure to talk to. I expressed some of my concerns with the two different styles that he offered and he talked to me like a friend. I was unsure if I wanted a rod/piston style, I was very content with how my stock shifter felt in-hand but this knob wasn't exactly shaped like the stock knob. I also couldn't find any pictures of the Goliath (cylindrical) inside anyone's vehicle. That also left me a little uneasy about purchasing it. Turns out that the Goliath is a brand new product that AM is rolling out currently (reason why I couldnt find reviews/ pics). Derrick had told me that when he drives he constantly changes his grip on the knob too. He said he really likes the knew Goliath but he LOVES the Mammoth (spherical knob). So I told him that I had to think a little bit before ordering. He was okay with it and I told him I would contact him after sleeping on it. I email him the next day. I have made up my mind! I am going to order the Mammoth knob. I ordered it in Matte Black.
**This is where my review will start. lol
Okay so with all that rambling out of the way, here is what I think about Anarchy Motive.
- First of all. I absolutely, positively, could not be happier with my purchase. I never dreamed that something as simple as a shift knob could bring so much joy to my life.
- The knob is solid. It is 671 grams if I remember correctly. Keep in mind, this knob is solid metal too! Yes, that means the temperatures fluctuate with the weather! lol.. I discovered this the other morning when it was 20 degrees out. The knob doesn't warm up very fast either haha.. Not something that I hate. I knew before I ordered it that it would be this way. I just leave gloves in my car now for when its freezing.
- They offer quite a few different colors to chose from depending on what your style is or what you want to accent in your car. I was originally going to get the Cardinal Sin Red or the Gunmetal gray. I just couldn't commit to having a colored item in my car that MIGHT have not matched colors perfectly (my ocd is fierce, suppose). I opted for Matte Black because its safe and will match anything.
-AM offers the new Goliath knob which is around 740 grams I think. (choices, everyone loves choices, right?)
I was given an ETA of 2-3 weeks for my product, however, it took almost 10 weeks for me to get my product. I kept in contact with Derrick throughout to make sure that everything was okay. Apparently, There were some issues with the powder coater which consequently affected the delivery date of my knob.
All in all, I received my product a little later than planned, but I am honestly glad I purchased it. This thing looks great, it feels great and just makes me want to drive around and cruise just so I can shift gears! I am more than happy to support small businesses and have a product that is pretty exclusive.
- Would I do business with them again?
YES, without a doubt. Derrick is an awesome person (based entirely on our email conversations) and he's got a great product available.
- Would I recommend this product to others?
YES, most certainly! However, If you are a very impatient person and want something now and don't feel like waiting, then I would suggest something else. I know that other companies such as WC Latheworks offer options to expedite the the manufacturing of your knob and you can have all these other options to customize it to your liking. But, it all comes at a price. Flossy offers a lot of customization options too. So if you're into that sorta thing then maybe you should check that out..
I went with Anarchy Motive because I am definitely a minimalist. I like that its simple and and clean. I also love the weight and size of it. The knob feels perfect in-hand. The product is also very, very reasonably priced.
Here is a picture of it in my car.

Samsung Announces Phase-change RAM

512 megabit PRAM cell
Bigger, better, faster
Samsung today announced that it has introduced a new type of nonvolatile memory called PRAM or Phase-change Random Access Memory. The new memory technology is currently under heavy research from Samsung, but the company has finally demonstrated a working 512 megabit sample. According to Samsung, PRAM is slated to replace current NOR flash memory technology within the next several years.
PRAM, says Samsung, is much faster than the fastest NOR flash memory. Samsung indicated that PRAM achieves its performance by changing the way it writes and reads to memory. Unlike current NOR flash, PRAM does not have to erase data before writing new data. This alone achieves 30 times the performance of current memory technology said Samsung. Durability and endurance are also a key development for PRAM, allowing products to last at least 10 times longer.
Samsung indicated that PRAM will be a positive forward step for consumer products as well -- lowering prices thanks to new manufacturing techniques. Samsung said that PRAM cells are half the size of NOR flash memory and requires 20 percent fewer manufacturing steps to produce. PRAM will make an introduction into the market sometime in early 2008. According to the press release:
Adoption of PRAM is expected to be especially popular in the future designs of multi-function handsets and for other mobile applications, where faster speeds translate into immediately noticeable boosts in performance. High-density versions will be produced first, starting with 512 Mb.
Flash memory in general has exploded in the last two years. The market has grown significantly and companies are continuing to invest heavily into flash RAM development and manufacturing. Recently,
SanDisk announced that it would acquire M-Systems for $1.35 billion
, bolstering its market position significantly.
Intel and Micron have also joined forces
to produce volumes of NAND flash memory. In July,
both SanDisk and Toshiba announced plans to invest a total of $8.2 billion
in building new manufacturing facilities.
Flash memory is expected to scale well past 2010, with high density products on the way. Samsung indicated that 64GB memory cards are already in sight and larger capacities are just over the horizon. Consumer multimedia products aren't the only devices using flash memory however -- Intel is gearing up to introduce a new
desktop platform called
next year that will utilize flash memory
to store parts or all of an operating system to boost performance.
"So far we have not seen a single Android device that does not infringe on our patents." -- Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith

Atheism plus
Atheism plus is a faction of atheism which holds to a liberal/progressive political agenda. It developed out of the atheist and political ideology of Freethought blogs and was partly a response to the New Atheism and to the Elevatorgate scandal.
In October 2014, the popular YouTube atheist Thunderf00t commented on how Jen McCreight, the founder of the atheist feminist movement Atheism plus abandoned her movement within two weeks.
Richard Carrier at the launch of the Atheism Plus movement wrote: "I am fully on board. I will provide any intellectual artillery they need to expand this cause and make it successful.[1] Thunderf00t commented on how Richard Carrier "the intellectual artillery" of the movement, quit promoting the movement within a month.[2] See also: Atheism, social justice and hypocrisy
Richard Carrier on people who he believes understand Atheism plus
See also: Atheism and polyamory
Richard Carrier wrote in a blog post entitled Our Mythical Campaign against Sex:
| Polyamory and swinging and even the attending of orgies requires more ethical behavior and more careful attention to boundaries and consent than traditional sexual relationships do. And people who are ethical enough to be accepted in those communities are the very people who get Atheism+ and why it is needed.
The bottom line is, we are already enthusiastically in favor of people pursuing all kinds of sexual activities, even at atheist events. Many of our most avid supports are wholeheartedly doing this. The only thing we are concerned about is that people do this ethically, that people don't use their sex drives as an excuse to harass, harm, or cross boundaries.[3]
See also: Atheist factions and Atheists and antisocial behavior
The Guardian wrote about Atheism plus and the reaction of many atheists on the internet:
| In the passionate world of American atheism, the venom usually directed at believers has now been turned against the wrong kind of atheists...
It took 700 years from Constantine renaming Byzantium in his own honour to papal legates circulating letters of anathema that split the Roman and Orthodox churches. Atheism, in its public, online life, has started exchanging internet anathemas – perhaps we should call them inathemas – in little more than a decade...
When one commentator suggests "atheism does not have the luxury of kicking people out of its movement", Carrier gives him a rare old quilting in most splendid prose:
Post Elevatorgate and Atheism plus, the conflict between atheist feminism and anti-feminism atheists continues. Two of the most anti-feminism atheists are YouTube atheists Thunderf00t and TheAmazingAtheist.
Feminist and lesbian Greta Christina wrote about Atheism plus:
| But if you don't want to get involved with Atheism Plus — and you don't want anyone else to, either? If you're vociferously objecting to Atheism Plus and are actively trying to talk people out of it, because it's "divisive," because it will "weaken" the community and "splinter" us?
Listen up...
Face it. This community is already divided. And it is divided in a way that is making many, many women feel cut out. For a solid year, far too many women in this community — and especially feminist women — have been relentlessly subjected to a torrent of hatred, harassment, and abuse…and to a torrent of people ignoring this behavior, rationalizing it, trivializing it, or getting angry at us for even talking about it.[5]

Furnace 1st stage won't run
My old 80% Single stage furnace in the attic failed. Had a new American standard 95% TWO stage furnace installed. Runs on Propane. The 1st stage just pops and sputters like a train. The 2nd stage burner runs ok. Installer replaced the whole unit and we still have the same trouble. They even cut the vent stack totally off and no change. After a min on the 1st stage there is water in the vent piping. HVAC guy says it might be a problem with the Propane mixture (too much Hydrogen)??? I have other things on the same propane tank with no problems (older basement furnace, water heater, etc) although they are all single stage units. Are they on the right track??? thanks
Ask them if they set up the proper CFM for first stage. Or are they just using factory settings.
If too much air is being moved. It will cause condensate in the primary heat exchanger also. And harm the furnace.
It can cause moisture to build up in the pressure switch hoses also.
You should get moisture in the vent pipe.
Thanks for the reply. Do you mean CFM at the gas port like you would adjust with a jet on a carburator for a car? Sorry, I don't know anything about furnaces. They did have a 2inch intake and exhaust stack hooked up originally and thought that was the problem because the install recommends 3" pipe.
The unit needs to have the proper venting size, number of elbows/equivalent feet of pipe/slope as per manufacturers specs and all that info is in the install manual.Some furnaces are very specific and finicky about the venting and need to be real close to the manufacturers specs and venting diagram. Did they check the firing rate (manifold gas pressure) on low and high fire?
I was talking about the air blowing through the furnace that goes to the house.
Some furnaces, can move twice as much air as what they should for heating.
Thanks for the reply, I will discuss with the installers... :thumbup:
It is to my understanding that High efficiency furnaces would naturally condensate due to the lack of heat in the venting. That's why they are manufactured with a drain hose inside the unit. Am i missing something here?
thehvacguy: I believe you are correct from what I was told by my installers. The problem they think is the propane mix not being right. Asked me to call Amerigas. Too much (more then would be normal) water condensation for the 1st stage to run correctly. 2nd stage apparently works ok.
Have they ever checked the manifold pressure in first stage.
Have they checked the temp rise in first stage.
Have they checked if its pulling too much combustion air(yes, its possible on a sealed unit).
Have seen the water in the fuel excuse used many times when techs don't know how to check out a furnace properly.
Thanks beenthere: I'm told they checked all that and more. They have an "Expert" coming in from American Standard to check the situation. Not sure when but hopefully this week.
Lets say your furnace is an 80,000 BTU 2 stage.
So in first stage, it would be firing at 52,000 BTUs.
So they are saying that a single stage 50,000 BTU furnace wouldn't work because of the moisture in the LP.
Hopefully the "expert" they're bring. Will really check everything.
I am not sure about your furnace but most furnaces come from the factory set up for natural gas. Most have an LP conversion kit that must be installed before operating the furnace on LP. I believe 2 stage furnaces require different burner orifices and a manifold pressure adjustment. May be other things that need to be set up as well.:thumbsup:
Post up when you get the answer ee. I've seen furnaces not work right if the intallation instructions were not followed but never had water in the propane yet.
Talked to my plumbing company sales rep who talked to the American Standard expert/trainer. Supposedly this is a brand new type of system they are introducing and haven't fully trained all of the installers yet. The 1st and 2nd stages apparently need to be adjusted differently from the normal way of doing gas pressure checks. I was incorrect, this is a three stage system, not two stage.
They are coming tomorrow to try again, will let you all know. Thanks for all the support...
on the 3 stage 95 furnace you adjust 1st and 3rd stage and 2nd stage is self adjusting also it is best to use the stainless steel burners with propane so they dont rust

Plasma parameter
The plasma parameter is a dimensionless number, denoted by capital Lambda, Λ. The plasma parameter is usually interpreted to be the argument of the Coulomb logarithm, which is the ratio of the maximum impact parameter to the classical distance of closest approach in Coulomb scattering. In this case, the plasma parameter is given by:[1]
- n is the number density of electrons,
- λD is the Debye length.
This expression is typically valid for a plasma in which ion thermal velocities are much less than electron thermal velocities. A detailed discussion of the Coulomb logarithm is available in the NRL Plasma Formulary, pages 34–35.
Note that the word parameter is usually used in plasma physics to refer to bulk plasma properties in general: see plasma parameters.
An alternative definition of this parameter is given by the average number of electrons in a plasma contained within a Debye sphere (a sphere of radius the Debye length). This definition of the plasma parameter is more frequently (and appropriately) called the Debye number, and is denoted . In this context, the plasma parameter is defined as
Since these two definitions differ only by a factor of three, they are frequently used interchangeably.
Often the factor of is dropped. When the Debye length is given by , the plasma parameter is given by[2]
- ε0 is the permittivity of free space,
- k is Boltzmann's constant,
- qe is the electron charge,
- Teis the electron temperature.
Confusingly, some authors define the plasma parameter as :
- .
Coupling parameter[edit]
A closely related parameter is the plasma coupling , defined as a ratio of the Coulomb energy to the thermal one:
- .
The Coulomb energy (per particle) is
- ,
where for the typical inter-particle distance usually is taken the Wigner-Seitz radius. Therefore,
- .
Clearly, up to a numeric factor of the order of unity,
- .
In general, for multicomponent plasmas one defines the coupling parameter for each species s separately:
- .
Here, s stands for either electrons or (a type of) ions.
The ideal plasma approximation[edit]
One of the criteria which determine whether a collection of charged particles can rigorously be termed an ideal plasma is that Λ>>1. When this is the case, collective electrostatic interactions dominate over binary collisions, and the plasma particles can be treated as if they only interact with a smooth background field, rather than through pairwise interactions (collisions).[3] The equation of state of each species in an ideal plasma is that of an ideal gas.
Plasma properties and Λ[edit]
Depending on the magnitude of Λ, plasma properties can be characterized as following:[4]
|Plasma parameter magnitude
|Strongly coupled plasma
|Weakly coupled plasma
|Debye sphere
|Sparsely populated
|Densely populated
|Electrostatic influence
|Almost continuously
|Typical characteristic
|Cold and dense
|Hot and diffuse
|Solid-density laser ablation plasmas
Very "cold" "high pressure" arc discharge
Inertial fusion experiments
White dwarfs / neutron stars atmospheres
|Ionospheric physics
Magnetic fusion devices
