text: Hi all (2.0TFSI Quatto), Found myself on the back of a flatbed this evening. Pulled away from some lights, clutch down, wouldn't engage 2nd gear or anyother gear. Got stuck in neutral. Engine running, no clutch bite/clutch always engaged and won't engage any gears. Engine off, gear engages and starting her up with 1st engaged lurches the car forward. Not checked the fluids yet, just got the car dumped at my local garage. Car has had lumpy 1st/reverse engagement from cold for a while ... Guesses? Master Cylinder? Slave Cylinder? Can anyone give me an idea of costs if it is master cyl or slave? Also the car is 65k on it's orig clutch ... worth getting this changed too? If they are stripping things out, might as well roll as much as possible in to the labor costs? Here's a pic so you can feel my pain: Cheers!

How it works
The Trade System only allows players to trade Limiteds and LimitedUs, with or without serial number. Each limited has its own RAP (Recent Average Price), to determine trade value. The trade also depends on the player's trade ratio settings. Players have the option of setting a trade value ratio, which can be set to high, medium, low, or none. If the player has set to a high ratio (which can be modified in account settings), the player would only get a close, even trade. If the player has set to a low ratio, the player will get uneven trades as well. Both players can trade up to only four limiteds. Once the player decides what the player wants, he/she presses "Send Request" to send it to the other user. The other player has three options, either to
- Accept
- Decline
- Counter
When countering, the trade menu will appear, with the trade selection. The other player has an option to change the circumstances to even the trade.
There is also the ability to add robux to the trade, which can be added at the bottom of the trading display. Anyone can add the number of robux depending on how much each user has. There is also a 30% fee that will take away 3/10th of the original price. As of April 16th, 2013, a player can now own more than one of the same limited, or trade the same limited(s).
Note that if one of the players doesn't have any limiteds, the player cannot be traded with.
- Ever since the Trading System came out, many items and games in the catalog and game section are frequently flooded with messages asking them to trade. It can also be noted that there is barely few now who post fake messages for robux.
- The Trade System was one of the most requested features by Robloxians before it came out.

Posts Tagged 'War on Terror'
Conspiracy Question Time
See You There – http://www.justin.tv/morris108
Mostly British Dead and Wounded soldiers from Iraq by British MSM
Did any of them know the "real" reasons of what they were fighting for?
Click on a pic to see larger
Rollover Judaica
There will be Nuremberg trials again. And the Jews behind this war on terror will be in the dock, not because they are Jewish, but because they hid behind it. They forced the Jewish agenda on everyone, including Jews, yet it was only a facade, a fake, a fundamentalism, a concern for profit, retribution and imprisoning people. Over a million dead in Iraq alone. And now they rub their hands in joy at the prospect of loads of Yemenis dying.
The worst thing about modern Judaism is the understanding that everyone will be told what to say and what to do. We even see worldwide legislation in this regard.
If you have nothing to say, then you will not be aware of it.
But every thinker and news editor soon becomes aware of the rules.
And so we end up with a clandestine army, where everyone is complicit in ongoing war crimes, and they are just the more visible effects of a trickle down intelligentsia.
In Jewish thought, the religion places emphasis on a man's volition. A man's ability to make a choice, hopefully of sound moral judgement.
The infidels are winning
Patrick Cockburn:
Threats to Yemen prove America hasn't learned the lesson of history
Extraordinarily, the US is making exactly the same mistake as in Iraq and Afghanistan
Thursday, 31 December 2009
All the talk of failure in Afghanistan and Iraq is rubbish. The plan is unfolding superbly.
Muslims are killing each other. Birth defects are on the rise. Such are the lucid dreams of men in suits. Corporate fascism that has laws forcing the conquered inhabitants to use patented genetically modified seeds.
Gay parties at the American embassy in Bagdad. Gay units in the American military. Genocide is the game. The dehumanisation of the soul is in full swing. Now alcohol is available for the conquered..
Bankrupting America and the UK is of no consequence. A New Zionist World order, for everyone in the world to show an enforced loyalty.
China will obviously fill the inevitable vacuum, and so conjuring up a conflict with China will be necessary, probably with newly patsieised India or/ and Taiwan.
As much as we see conflict created and encouraged in Yemen and other faraway lands, we have to realize it is also on our doorsteps. America's new health bills, Climate change, Swine flu: all are sewing dissent, and simply engineered as another vehicle for taxation, whether it is in Insurance premiums, our health or just fear.
The ones behind it are too taboo to mention, it beggars belief that they arrogently continue with false flags, and psuedo threats, always dragging everyone into more conflict. But we do know our hidden masters are adept at banking and hellbent on hegemony. It is Capitalism that feeds them and therefore Capitalism itself is now an enemy of peace.
Maybe a rebellion is starting. Some Israeli military figures cancelled a visit to the UK last weak for fear of being arrested as war criminals. So even in pliant Zionist colonies like the UK sprouts of opposition are appearing within the institutions.
Whether we end up withdrawing or not from these colonial wars, every day of more killings, or more depleted uranium is considered a success by many of our ruling elite.
What happens if you won't fight for the cause?
A special group of people oversee you. Till you are afraid to look at anyone in the eyes. Every interaction is fraught with crime and betrayal. The law is always there for assisstance. And, of course, the upshot is everyone wondering why there is no friendliness, no smiles, no humanity.
As a victim, one also gets to observe the ways of the powerful. They steal, murder and spike at will. While insuring everyone is fuelled with disinfo.
Evil now rules, from the apparent: Guantanamo, to the sublime: obligatory support for Jews and Gay liberation. Control and war crimes are now the order of the day. Relentlessly dished out. No freedom of association, just supporting crimes against humanity, that is all there is.
A terrorist here there and everywhere. Swine Flu, Climate change and Iran's nuclear threat. Fear as a daily diet. And all the time we bomb the innocent. Worst of all: "As above so below". What we see on a big scale, is happening on a small scale. Micromanaging anyone with 2 brain cells. Using fear and chemicals, and all right under our noses.
Maybe the Jewish success is its downfall, or humanities downfall. Not saying there is anything wrong with the relligion, or that all Jews are bad, just saying whoever is leading the Jews is off track. More off track than anything ever seen before.
Paying for the sins of our ancestors. Collective punishment, sewing conflict everywhere. All right in front of our eyes. Apart from hapless hooligans, no one is prepared to display like with like.
It is way past midnight
Few would argue against the truth that private corporations are running government policies and are more wealthy than governments.
Chief amongst the Corporations are the banks and Insurance companies. We have to assume that decisions of war are made in corporate boardrooms. And that these directors, in their fraternities, are more privy to classified info than government Ministers themselves.
What happens to our premiums and interest payments? We are paying for the circus of "democracy", and the Ads that support the MSM.
Such is the greed of today that healthcare is introduced as a mandatory contribution scheme. Doomed to be siphoned into the war machine.
The Corporation's greed bankrupts countries to pay for endless wars, but the ideology is not strictly corporate, it is devised by people in secret groups. Hegemony is the game, but debilitating huge amounts of people is necessary, both the vanquished and the fodder of consumers and aggressors.
And we have to worry about the climate? The military onslaughts are causing more man made damage than any other activities. Which leads this writer to coment: All the planets in our solar system are warming up. According to (www.pks.or.at) Victor Schauberger water is constantly trying to acheive a temperature of -4degrees C. If we are continually warming the worlds water, it is incumbent on nature to create severe winters to recool the water. Water is life, we are essentially water.
A holy person can find nourishment in the worst of food. I hope the dear reader can find something in a meandering essay.
Basically some very small groups of people can undermine the best intentioned souls. Until a remedy is found, totalitarian states will flourish.
Four motivators for the war on terror
Given that our "war on terror's" real aims are illusory. Let's consider what authentic reasons there might be, and what forces are propelling it?
1/ The MIC (Military Industrial Complex) is always ready for profit, being devoid of any ideology or ethics they can be discounted as specifically targetting the Middle East as they would be happy to pulverise any nation.
2/ Others accused are the Oil companies, but this might not be true, voices have been heard saying the oil companies did not want the wars, they were still able to get the oil through negotiation, indeed a lot of Iraq's oil has been awarded to Chinese firms. Leaving (our) US oil companies in the dark.
"In actual fact, the Iraq war will more likely hurt Western oil companies than help them. "
3/ There is the Gay community who are most vehemently opposed to Islam. And while two males wishing to love each other should be nobody elses concern, where does this leave us when it comes to decision makers in foreign policy? Britain's most powerful man is openly gay. The Prime Minister is still the Prime Minister out of indebtedness to Lord Mandelson. Lord Mandelson sits on 35 parliamentary committees out of 44 , more than the prime Minister himself. And we are busy bombing Muslim weddings and funerals.
"It is obvious that Peter Mandelson is the real unelected prime minister pulling the strings at No 10", a Conservative spokesman said BBC source
The power of the Gay lobby cannot be discounted, the Anglo Saxon world is the main warmongering entity on this planet. Our Prime Ministers and President can rarely go a week without paying homage to Homosexuality. And yet upon examination it is most rampant in oppressive environments. The virtual slave labour of Apartheid South African mines and factories and prisons are two examples. Is our form of Capitalism oppressive?
Everyone is seen as a potential profit, and most of us are selling something we never made, how soul destroying.
4/ Lastly, why are we bombing people from Palestine to Pakistan? What do all these people have in common? They all live in clans. They are not enjoying genetic diversity to its fullest potential.
<genetics> A property of a community of organisms of a certain species, in which members of the community have variations in their chromosomes due to a large number of slightly dissimilar ancestors, this property makes the community in general more resistant to diseases or to changing ecological conditions. source
In Pakistan we are only targeting the Tribal areas. In any of the cities where we perpetuate hostility, whether it is Hebron (Khalil) in the West Bank or Fallujah in Iraq. There are a myriad of clans, some large and some small.
And so by punishing them all and stampeding them this way and that, and polluting them so that they have birth deformities (and here, and here). Our rulers can hope to end up with a diverse, transient and consumer orientated population, devoid of cohesion.

Start Conspiratori...zing?
While I take this video with a heavy grain of salt, since the idea of the Internet going down in 2012 strikes me as a little too....Mayan Calendar Apocalypto to me, if even a third of what they're saying is true, bad times all around.
Though considering the YouTube page entices you with nude photos of the host, I've got my fingers on the shenanigans button. All of those gentlemen need a haircut, too. Fine if you're fronting an indie band. Not so fine if you're delivering a message of dire importance to the people. You look like the Lone Gunmen from the X-Files.
It should also be remembered, that even if it doesn't happen, it won't be because the TelComms don't want to.
EDIT: Upon further review, I notice I missed this clip is being brought to us by Athene, another YouTube "celebrity" notable* for playing lots of World of Warcraft and pimping his girlfriend. So that Lone Gunmen comparison grows more accurate, and that salt grain grows even larger, but they're sticking to their integro-guns on this one, so you be the judge, Windsor.

One of the closest Ford and Holden battles in V8 Ute history is about to begin at the final round of the 2009 Yokohama V8 Ute Racing Series - protected by Armor All during the Sydney Telstra 500, 4 - 6 December.
Eight different drivers can theoretically win the Series, making this the most competitive V8 Ute finale since the series began.
Jack Elsegood (734 pts), Grant Johnson (691), Kim Jane (687), George Miedecke (672), Glenn McNally (646) and Layton Cramrook (634,) are all in contention giving 3 Ford and 3 Holden drivers a serious shot at the title.
Gary Baxter, while down on points at the moment, is still waiting for the results of an appeal against a technical infringement and if upheld could also be a factor in the final result, while Adelaide's Craig Dontas is also in the overall points mix (608 pts).
With 149 points up for grabs and the challenge of a new circuit, the title is set for a three race street fight that is sure to engage all V8 Ute fans trackside and those watching the live televised final race on the SEVEN Network.
"I'm going to go out and try and win the round and whatever happens to Jack happens to Jack," said Johnson.
For Elsegood and Johnson, it's a case of Groundhog Day. Both came inton. the final round in 2007 with Elsegood ahead of Johnson by 25 points; n. however all hope was gone when a tyre on the Coopers Ford let go in n. the final race of the Series, just a few laps from a championship wi n. "I will remind him not to be too hard on the tyres and I'll put as n. much pressure on him as I can. If I win the round, then I have it," n. said Johnso n.
"Grunta's a good driver and won the championship last time through luck and if he is to win this time he will have really to earn the win as I intend to play as hard as I have to in an effort to win the series," Elsegood retaliated.
The Ex NRL footballer is feeling the pressure but his plan is to justd. stay focused on the Roun "I do put a lot of pressure on myself and I d. will go out there and do my best as I always do. If I drive well and d. do what I set out to do then there's no reason why I shouldn't come d. away with the championship," explained Elsegoo d.
Johnson hasn't had the best of luck this year and is due for a turnaround in form.
"Obviously I'm a bit disappointed after Bathurst, we should be closer than we are. We are also surprised to be still in with a chance after the accident at Clipsal, driving with broken ribs at Winton, the flat tyre in Darwin, suspension damage at Sandown, plus the spin while leading the finale at Bathurst. We haven't had a good run this year however the roll of the dice is definitely turning our way," said Johnson.
The two have been inseparable in the past few years. Johnson not only finished one spot ahead of Elsegood in 2007 but also in 2008 by 109 points, however the Sydneysider is not about to let this happen a third year in a row and is currently leading the Grove Fruit Juice Holden by 43 points heading into the finale.
"I would be really disappointed if something similar to 2007 happened again but this is motorsport. It would be a great feeling to win in front of a home-crowd and that's what I intend to do," said Elsegood.
Holden is currently leading Ford in the round wins, claiming four so far for this year; Gary Baxter claimed two, Kim Jane and Gary MacDonald one each. Layton Crambrook has taken out 2 rounds for Ford and Elsegood the other round at Winton Raceway. Johnson is yet to win a round this year but is confident about leading the Holden's at the moment.
"We were always hoping we were the number one Holden and we are happy to have that title at the moment," said Johnson.
Another driver who has been the top Holden in his racing career is Kim Jane who was second overall in 2008 and is currently third at the moment. Jane is followed closely by Ford driver and son of a legend, George Miedecke who would like to get his hands on a Series trophy before he moves off to the international sports car arena next year.
2008 Rookie of the Year, Glenn McNally has had a strong year and is currently in 5th position separated only by 12 points from 2008 Champion Layton Crambrook currently in 6th.
Crambrook and Baxter are both waiting the outcome of judicial procedures which could shuffle the points pack even more.
Craig Dontas and Jesus All About Life's Andrew Fisher have both had a strong year for Ford, while Queensland Holden drivers, Ryal Harris and Kurt Wimmer round out the top ten. Both drivers missed a round or two this year and will push hard for top finishes.
With a V8 Supercar test drive on the line, the 2009 Racer Industries Rookie of the Year Award will be fought between Paul Williams and Gary Carson who are only separated by 31 points heading into the final showdown.
The V8 Utes will kick start their weekend on Friday, 4th December with practice one at 8:00am and the rest of the schedule is as follows:
Race 3 will be televised live on Network Seven, Saturday, 5th December at 12:45pm (EDST).

I prefer to walk barefoot on the rocks feeling every step than wearing the most expensive type of shoes. Materialistic approach to life has no value apart from very fragile, dubious and misleading layer which can crack anytime leaving the 'proud owner' empty handed.
TimeLife is real
I imagine life to be a deep hole without a bottom at the end. When you are born , you are being pushed into it and start falling down at a high velocity.There are feathers and flowers growing out of the walls. When you touch them they caress your soul so you feel lucky, loved and fortunate. But there are also pointy rods and swords. When they pierce your soul you pray and wait to hit the rock bottom. You never do.Time heals your wounds and the cycle begins again. You only hit the rock bottom when your time comes.

Is the gargantuan earring fad dying out? I hope not, because I love them. I would wear dinner plates as earrings if I wasn't afraid of ripping my ears right off my head. For week 19 of the 52 Earring Challenge I went BIG.
These babies started with the white filigree pieces, which were actually a pair of antique clip-on earrings that I ripped the backs off of. I wired them onto a hammered loop of steel wire and then just went to town adding things. Just by chance those filigree pieces fit in the hoops perfectly. I gave all the metal a rusty black finish, and that along with the white and lime green accents make a really unique combination. They've got a little tribal, a little Victorian, a little retro kitsch... and they kind of look like dreamcatchers.
|Industrial Dreamcatcher Assemblage Earrings
They're actually pretty light, despite their size. But I'm guessing anyone in the market for earrings that touch their shoulders isn't really all that concerned with comfort.
I'm kind of in love with them.I may have to keep them and wear them a few times before I can let them go. Is that against the rules? I'll change out the earwires.
I think that this 90's picture of Chloe Sevigny started my big earring fascination.
See how giant earrings instantly make you sassy?
Also, if anyone knows where I can buy door knocker earrings that exact shape and size, please tell me! I have hunted far and wide for several years.
And, while we're on the topic of earrings. Check out these awesome ones Kim just listed. I want them.

Don't forget, folks, that we're having a sale this weekend. I marked all our Spring Picnic beads down 15% before we put the sale on, so those are and extra great deal, and they're flying out of stock. There are only 2 of our Lemon Lime Citrus Slice Carved Disc Beads, so if you've been eying them, get 'em quick.
But wait, there's more!
Today my Cotton Candy Cephalopod barrette was featured among a whole bunch of rad octopus-themed things over at The Tote Trove. Check it out! I know that owls win the contest for Most-Popular-Critter-on-Etsy, but I have to say, I lean toward Team Octopi and am glad to see others appreciating them.
Last but SO not least, I got some Tesori Trovati goodies in the mail today. What a great treat to come home to!
On the right is the Imagine castle pendant that I've been drooling over for a month. On the left is a reset button pendant in Erin's "Simple Truths" style that I custom ordered. I will explain it's significance to me when I get it strung onto something cute and wearable...which I can't do until I finish up the custom orders and half-done projects on my table. That's going to drive me nuts. Better get working!

However, I do have something that does directly relate. I have a 16m toddler named Bean and she is into everything recently! We have for her safety and our sanity moved her to a toddler bed, and that has given her more freedom then she knows what to do with. I go to get her from her nap one afternoon last week to discover that Bean moonlights as a wood chuck! Yes, my daughter, sweet and adorable, well fed and healthy, has been secretly chomping away at all things wood in her room! She has two, I am no liar! TWO GIANT Totes of every toy a toddler could want and she insists on eating the window sill, the bed, and the baby gate. AAAH!

Theoretical Framework Essay
Theoretical Framework
A theoretical framework is defined in this study as the structure of concepts which exists in the literature, a ready-made map for the study (Liehr & Smith, 2001); it provides the structure for examining a problem and serves as a guide to examine relationships between variables (Ingelse, 1997). Theoretical frameworks are important in exploratory studies, where the researcher does not know much about what is going on, and is trying to learn more. As Borgatti (1998) suggested: There are two reasons why theoretical frameworks are important here.
First, no matter how little you think you know about a topic, and how unbiased you think you are, it is impossible for a human being not to have preconceived notions, even if they are of a very general nature (Borgatti, 1998) A study of the literature reveals that there are many theories in use in the information systems field alone (Schneberger & Wade, 2006). The Implementation of I. D Scanner Systems in the Students of Polytechnic University of the Philippines Santa Rosa Extension Campus shows how technological innovation to provide the students ease and better service every start of the classes.
It is communicated /disseminated to students who will attend their class in the university, as what is stated in the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory. The Diffusion of Innovation Theory The Diffusion of Innovation Theory by Rogers E. M. states that an innovation diffuses or spreads through our society in a predictable pattern. A few people will adopt an innovation as soon as they hear of it, other people will take longer to try something new and still others take much longer.
The people who are at the back of the PUP website are those we can consider the innovators, and the students as the adopters of the innovation in the enrollment procedures. The Diffusion Innovation Theory includes the four key steps that effectively summarize the diffusion process wherein the innovation in enrollment procedure is going through. The first step is "Knowledge", wherein the PUP students are made aware of the new process of enrollment and registration. The next step is "Persuasion" where the diffusion process takes place mostly within the mind of the adopter.
The individual weighs the advantages that the new technology would bring to him or her personally. Based upon these evaluations and discussions with others, the individual begins to learn toward either adoption or rejection of the innovation. This is where the students analyze the advantages and the disadvantages of the new process of enrollment in PUP compared to the traditional. The third step is "Decision". The individual makes the final decision of whether to adopt or reject. The last step is "Confirmation" where the individual seeks validation.

|Full name
|Lord Angstrom
|Tangean Royal
|Usurper, Criminal
Royal Adviser (formerly)

|Eye color

|First appearance
|Mira's Wedding
|Last appearance
|Good Ol' Buzz
|Voiced by
|David Warner
Angstrom was the Tangean Royal Councilor and King Nova's closest adviser until his true colors were shown.
Physical Appearannce
As all Tangean Royals, Lord Angstrom has blue skin. He also has brown hair, is tall and fairly slender (though he seems to be padded out by his clothing).
Lord Angstrom exhibits nothing but contempt and a pompous air around "out-worlders", and he is only amongst them to relay a message to Mira Nova that she is soon to be wed.
It is soon revealed that he is merely using the wedding as a distraction so he can attack the palace with the help of a Tangean Grounder gang, as he wishes to usurp the throne from King Nova. Fortunately, Team Lightyear arrives in time to stop him, and Fop Doppler drops a chandelier on him when he attempts to escape.
At the end of the episode, Angstrom is seen arrested and sent off planet for his crimes.
In the episode "Good Ol' Buzz", Lord Angstrom is seen yet again fresh out of prison. This time, he has his sights set on Mira, only to realize that by the older version of Buzz being there, Mira is oddly absent due to his time-meddling. Lord Angstrom is soon rounded up again, and sent back to prison.
Like a model Tangean, Lord Angstrom finds the company of off-worlders distasteful and expresses often how Tangeans are superior to them in every way, shape, or form. He is arrogant, pompous, and scheming; waiting to show his true colors once the Grounders infiltrate the palace for an overthrow. He also carries grudges, trying to enact his revenge upon Mira in "Good Ol' Buzz".
Has the same abilities any Tangean Royal has. However, his powers are more developed than Mira's. For example, he managed to temporarily brainwash her into forgetting that she had seen him conversing with the Tangean Grounders.
Under construction.
- The name Angstrom comes from the unit of measure of the same name. One angstrom is equivalent to 1/10,000,000,000 (one ten billionth) of a meter (1×10−10 m or 100 picometers).

Ok, so this is my own 'take' on the traditional Welsh Cawl. It has all the reqular ingredients that a cawl should have but I varied the quantities and added a few extra things to the recipe I found.
Serves 8
600g Diced Lamb
3 carrots peeled and diced thickly
4 potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
2 leeks sliced
1 small suede or half a large cut into chunks
1 cup of barley
1 tbs gravy granules
1 chicken stock cube
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
Prepare all the veg as stated. Fill a large slow cooker/pot half way with water. Toss all ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or 4 on high.
Serve with a warm crusty roll and a chunk of cheese.
Enjoy. Nom nom

Morten Christiansen and Nick Chater have done us all a favor. They have written a manifesto (here, C&C) outlining what they take to be a fruitful way of studying language. To the degree that I understand it, it seems plausible enough given its apparent interests. It focuses on the fact that language as we encounter it on a daily basis is a massive interaction effect and the manifesto heroically affirms the truism (just love those papers that bravely go out on a limb (the academic version of exercise?)) that explaining interaction effects requires an "integrated approach." Let me emphasize how truistic this is: if X is the result of many interacting parts then only a story that enumerates these parts, describes their properties and explains how they interact can explain an effect that is the result of interacting parts interacting. Thus a non-integrated account of an interaction effect is a logical non-starter. It is also worth pointing out the obvious: this is not a discovery, it is a tautology (and a rather superficial one at that), and not one that anyone (and here I include C&C's bête noir Monsieur Chomsky (I am just back from vacationing in Quebec so excuse the francotropism)) can, should or would deny (in fact, we note below that he made just this observation oh so many (over 60) years ago!).
That said, C&C, from where I sit, does make two interesting moves that go beyond the truistic. The first is that it takes the central truism to be revolutionary and in need of defence (as if anyone in their right mind would ever deny it). The second noteworthy feature is that the transparent truth of the truism (note truisms need not be self-evident (think theorems) but this one is) seems to license a kind of faith based holism, one that goes some distance in thwarting the possibility of a non-trivial integrated approach of the kind C&C urges.
Before elaborating these points in more detail, I need (the need here is pathetically psychological, sort of like a mental tic, so excuse me) to make one more overarching point: C&C appears to have no idea what GG is, what its aims are or what it has accomplished over the last 60 years. In other words, when C&C talks about GG (especially (but not uniquely) about the Chomsky program) it is dumb, dumb, dumb! And it is not even originally dumb. It is dumb in the old familiar way. It is boringly dumb. It is stale dumb. Dumb at one remove from other mind numbing dumbness. Boringly, predictably, pathetically dumb. It makes one wonder whether or not the authors ever read any GG material. I hope not. For having failed to read what it criticizes would be the only half decent excuse for the mountains of dumb s**t that C&C asserts. If I were one of the authors, I would opt for intellectual irresponsibility (bankruptcy (?)) over immeasurable cluelessness if hauled before a court of scientific inquiry. At any rate, not having ever read the material better explains the wayward claims confidently asserted than having read it and so misconstrued it. As I have addressed C&C's second hand criticisms more than (ahem) once, I will allow the curious to scan the archives for relevant critical evisceration.[1]
Ok, the two main claims: It is a truism that language encountered "in the wild" is the product of many interacting parts. This observation was first made in the modern period in Syntactic Structures. In other words, a long time ago.[2] In other words, the observation is old, venerable and, by now, commonplace. In fact, the distinction between 'grammatical' and 'acceptable' first made over 60 years ago relies on the fact that a speaker's phenomenology wrt utterances is not exclusively a function of an uttered sentence's grammatical (G) status. Other things matter, a lot. In the early days of GG, factors such as memory load, attention, pragmatic suitability, semantic sensibility (among other factors) were highlighted in addition to grammaticality. So, it was understood early on that many many factors went into an acceptability judgment, with grammaticality being just one relevant feature. Indeed, this observation is what lies behind the competence/performance distinction (a point that C&C seems not to appreciate (see p. 3), the distinction aiming to isolate the grammatical factors behind acceptability, thereby, among other things, leaving room for other factors to play a role.[3]
And this was not just hand waving or theory protecting talk (again contra C&C, boy is its discussion DUMB!!). A good deal of work was conducted early on trying to understand how grammatical structure could interact with these other factors to burden memory load and increase perceived unacceptability (just think of the non-trivial distinction between center and self embedding and its implications for memory architecture).[4] This kind of work proceeds apace even today, with grammaticality understood to be one of the many factors that go into making judgments gradiently acceptable.[5] Indeed, there is no grammatically informed psycho-linguistic work done today (or before) that doesn't understand that G/UG capacities are but one factor among others needed to explain real time acquisition, parsing, production, etc. UG is one factor in accounting for G acquisition (as Jeff Lidz, Charles Yang, Lila Gleitman etc. have endlessly emphasized) and language particular Gs are just one factor in explaining parsability (which is, in turn, one factor in underlying acceptability) (as Colin Phillips, Rick Lewis, Shravan Vasishth, Janet Fodor, Bob Berwick, Lyn Frazier, Jon Sprouse, etc. etc. etc. have endlessly noted). Nobody denies the C&C truism that language use involves multiple interacting variables. Nobody is that stupid!
So, C&C is correct in noting that if one's interest is in figuring out how language is deployed/acquired/produced/parsed/etc. then much more than a competence theory will be required. This is not news. This is not even an insight. The question is not if this is so, but how it is so. Given this, the relevant question is: what tree is C&C barking up by suggesting that this is contentious?
I have two hypotheses. Here they are.
1. C&C doesn't take G features to be at all relevant to acceptability.
2. C&C favors a holistic rather than an analytic approach to explaining interaction effects in language.
Let's discuss each in turn.
C&C is skeptical that grammaticality is a real feature of natural language expressions. In other words, C&C's beef with the traditional GG conception in which G/UG properties are one factor among many lies with assigning G/UG any role at all. This is not as original as it might sound. In fact, it is quite a traditional view, one that Associationists and Structuralists held about 70 years ago. It is the view that GG defenestrated, but apparently, did not manage to kill (next time from a higher floor please). The view amounts to the idea that G regularities (C&C is very skeptical that UG properties exist at all, I return to this presently) are just probabilistic generalizations over available linguistic inputs. This is the view embodied in Structuralist discovery procedures (and suggested in current Deep Learning approaches) wherein levels were simple generalizations over induced structures of a previous lower level. Thus, all there is to grammar is successively more abstract categories built up inductively from lower level less abstract categories. On this view, grammatical categories are classes of words, which are definable as classes of morphemes, which are definable as classes of phonemes, which are definable as classes of phones. The higher levels are, in effect, simple inductive generalizations over lower level entities. The basic thought is that higher-level categories are entirely reducible to lower level distributional patterns. Importantly, in this sort of analysis, there are no (and can be no) interesting theoretical entities, in the sense of real abstract constructs that have empirical consequences but are not reducible or definable in purely observational terms. In other words, on this view, syntax is an illusion and the idea that it makes an autonomous contribution to acceptability is a conceptual error.
Now, I am not sure whether C&C actually endorses this view, but it does make noises in that direction. For example, it endorses a particular conception of constructions and puts it "at the heart" of its "alternative framework" (4). The virtues of C&C constructions is that they are built up from smaller parts in a probabilistically guided manner. Here is C&C (4):
At the heart of this emerging alternative framework are constructions , which are learned pairings of form and meaning ranging from meaningful parts of words (such as word endings, for example, '-s', '-ing') and words themselves (for example, 'penguin') to multiword sequences (for example, 'cup of tea') to lexical patterns and schemas (such as, 'the X-er, the Y-er', for example, 'the bigger, the better'). The quasi-regular nature of such construction grammars allows them to capture both the rule-like patterns as well as the myriad of exceptions that often are excluded by fiat from the old view built on abstract rules. From this point of view, learning a language is learning the skill of using constructions to understand and produce language. So, whereas the traditional perspective viewed the child as a mini-linguist with the daunting task of deducing a formal grammar from limited input, the construction-based framework sees the child as a developing language-user, gradually honing her language-processing skills. This requires no putative universal grammar but, instead, sensitivity to multiple sources of probabilistic information available in the linguistic input: from the sound of words to their co-occurrence patterns to information from semantic and pragmatic contexts.
This quote does not preclude a distinctive Gish contribution to acceptability, but its dismissal of any UG contribution to the process suggests that it is endorsing a very strong rejection of the autonomy of syntax thesis.[6] Let me repeat, a commitment to the centrality of constructions does not require this. However, the C&C version seems to endorse it. If this is correct, then C&C sees the central problem with modern GG is its commitment to the idea that syntactic structure is not reducible to either statistical distributional properties or semantic or pragmatic or phonological or phonetic properties of utterances. In other words, C&C rejects the GG idea that grammatical structure is real and makes any contribution to the observables we track through acceptability.
This view is indeed radical, and virtually certain to be incorrect.[7] If there is one thing that all linguists agree on (including constructionists like Jackendoff and Culicover) it's that syntax is real. It is not reducible to other factors. And if this is so, then G structure exists independently of other factors. I also think that virtually all linguists believe that syntax is not the sum of statistical regularity in the PLD.[8] And there is good reason for this; it is morally certain that many of the grammatical factors that linguists have identified over the last 60 years have linguistically proprietary roots and leave few footmarks in the PLD. To argue that this standard picture is false requires a lot of work, none of which C&C does or points to. Of course, C&C cannot be held responsible for this failing, for C&C has no idea what this work argues because C&C's authors appear never to have never read any of it (or, if it has been read, it has not been understood, see above). But were C&C informed by any of this work, it would immediately appreciate that it is nuts to think that it is possible to eliminate G features as one factor in acceptability.[9]
In sum, one possible reading of C&C is that it endorses the old Structuralist idea of discovery procedures, denies the autonomy of syntax thesis (i.e. the thesis that syntax is "real") and believes in the (yes I got to say it) the old Empiricist/Associationist trope that language capacity is nothing but a reflection of tracked statistical regularities. It's back folks. No idea ever really dies, no matter how unfounded and implausible and how many times it has been stabbed through the heart with sharp arguments.
Before going on to the second point, let me add a small digression concerning constructions. Look, anyone who works on the G of a particular language endorses some form of constructionism (see here for some discussion). Everyone assumes that morphemes have specific requirements, with specific selection restrictions. These are largely diacritical and part of the lexical entry of the morpheme. Gs are often conceived as checking these features in the course of a derivation and one of the aims of a theory of Gs (UG) is to specify the structural/derivational conditions that regulate this feature checking. Thus, everyone's favorite language specific G has some kinds of constructions that encode information that is not reducible to FL or UG principles (or not so reducible as far as we can tell).
Moreover, it is entirely consistent with this view that units larger than morphemes code this kind of information. The diacritics can be syncategorematic and might grace structures that are pretty large (though given something like an X' syntax with heads or a G with feature percolation the locus of the diacritical information can often be localized on a "listable" linguistic object on the lexicon). So, the idea that C&C grabs with both hands and takes to be new and revolutionary is actually old hat. What distinguishes the kind of constructionism one finds in C&C from the more standard variety found in standard work is the idea central to GG that constructions are not "arbitrary." Rather, constructions have a substructure regulated by more abstract principles of grammar (and UG). C&C seems to think that anything can be a construction. But we know that this is false.[10] Constructions obey standard principles of Grammar (e.g. no mirror image constructions, no constructions that violate the ECP or binding theory, etc.). So though there can be many kinds of constructions that compile all sorts of diverse information there are some pretty hard constraints regulating what a possible construction is.
Why do I mention this? Because I could not stop myself! Constructions lie at the heart of C&C's "alternative framework" and nonetheless C&C has no idea what they are, that they are standard fare in much of standard GG (even minimalist Gs are knee deep in such diacritical features) and that they are not the arbitrary pairings that C&C takes them to be. In other words, once again C&C is mind numbingly ignorant (or, misinformed).
So that's one possibility. C&C denies G properties are real. There is a second possible assumption, one that does not preclude this one and is often found in tandem with it, but is nonetheless different. The second problem C&C sees with the standard view lies with its analytical bent. Let me explain.
The standard view of performance within linguistics is that it involves contributions of many factors. Coupled with this is a methodology: The right way to study these is to identify the factors involved, figure out their particular features and see how they combine in complex cases. One of the problems with studying such phenomena is that the interacting factors don't always nicely add up. In other words, we cannot just add the contributions of each component together to get a nice well-behaved sum at the end. That's what makes some problems so hard to solve analytically (think turbulence). But, that's still the standard way to go about matters. GG endorsed this view from the get-go. To understand how language works in the wild, figure out what factors go into making, say, an utterance, and see how these factors interact. Linguists focused on one factor (G and UG) but understood that other factors also played a role (e.g. memory, attention, semantic/pragmatic suitability etc.). The idea was that in analyzing (and understanding) any bit of linguistic performance, grammar would be one part of the total equation, with its own distinctive contribution.[11]
Two things are noteworthy about this. First, it is hard, very hard. It requires understanding how (at least) two "components" function as well as understanding how they interact. As interactions need not be additive, this can be a real pain, even under ideal conditions where we really know a lot (that's why engineers need to do more than simply apply the known physics/chemistry/biology). Moreover, interaction effects can be idiosyncratic and localized, working differently in different circumstances (just ask your favorite psycho/neuro linguist about task effects). So, this kind of work is both very demanding and subject to quirky destabilizing effects. Recall Fodor's observation: the more modular a problem is, the more likely it is solvable at all. This reflects the problems that interaction effects generate.[12]
At any rate, this is the standard way science proceeds when approaching complex phenomena. It factors it into its parts and then puts these parts back together. It is often called atomism or reductionsism but it is really just analysis with synthesis and it has proven to be the only real game in town.[13] That said, many bridle at this approach and yearn for more holistic methods. Connectionsists used to sing the praises of holism: only the whole system computes! You cannot factor a problem into its parts without destroying it. Holists often urge simulation in place of analysis (let's see how the whole thing runs). People like me find this to be little more than the promotion of obscurantism (and not only me, see here for a nice take down in the domain of face perception).
Why do I mention this here? Because, there is a sense in which C&C seems to object not only to the idea that Grammar is real, but also to the idea that the right way to approach these interaction effects is analytically. C&C doesn't actually say this, but it suggests it in its claims that the secret to understanding language in the wild lies with how all kinds of information are integrated quickly in the here and now. The system as a whole gives rise to structure (which "may [note the weasel word here, btw, NH] explain why language structure and processing is highly local in the linguistic signal" (5))[14] and the interaction of the various factors eases the interpretation problem (though as Gleitman and Trusewell and friends have shown, having too much information is itself a real problem (see here, here and here.)). The prose in C&C suggests to me that only at the grain of the blooming buzzing interactive whole will linguistic structure emerge. If this is right, then the problem with the standard view is not merely that it endorses the reality of grammar, but that it takes the right approach to be analytic rather than holistic. Again, C&C does not expressly say this, but it does suggest it, and it makes sense of its dismissal of "fragmented" investigations of the complex phenomenon. In their view, we need to solve all the problems at once and together, rather than piecemeal and then fit them together. Of course, we all know that there is no "best" way to proceed in these complex matters; that sometimes a more focused view is better and sometimes a more expansive one. But the idea that an analytic approach is "doomed to fail" (1) surely bespeaks an antipathy towards the analytic approach to language.
An additional point: note that if one thinks that all there is to language is statistically piecing together of diverse kinds of information then one is really against the idea that language in the wild is the result of interacting distinct modules with their own powers and properties. This, again, is an old idea. Again you all know who believed this (hint, starts with an E). So, if one were looking for an overarching unifying theme in C&C, one that is not trotted out explicitly but holds the paper together, then one could do worse than look to Associationism/Empiricism. This is the glue that holds the various parts together, from the hostility to the very idea that grammars are real to the conviction that the analytic approach (standard in the sciences) is doomed to failure.
There is a lot of other stuff in this paper that is also not very good (or convincing). But, I leave it as an exercise to the reader to find these and dispose of them (take a look at the discussion of language and cultural evolution for a real good time (on p.6). I am not sure, but it struck me as verging on the incoherent and mixing up the problem of language change with the problem of the emergence of a facility for language). Suffice it to say that C&C adds another layer to the pile of junk written on language perpetrated on the innocent public by the prestige journals. Let me end with a small rant on this.
C&C appeared in Nature. This is reputed to be a fancy journal with standards (don't believe it for a moment. It's all show business now).[15] I doubt that Nature believes that it publishes junk. Maybe it takes it to be impossible to evaluate opinion or "comment" pieces. Maybe it thinks that taste cannot be adjudicated. Maybe. But I doubt it. Rather, what we are witnessing here is another case of Chomsky bashing, with GG as collateral damage. It is not only this, but it is some of this. The other factor is the rise of big data science. I will have something to say about this in a later post. For now, take a look at C&C. It's the latest junk installment of a story that doesn't get better with repetition. But in this case all the arguments are stale as well as being dumb. Maybe their shelf expiration date will come soon. One can only hope even if such hope is irrational given the evidence.
[1] Type 'Evans and Levinson' (cited in C&C) or 'Vyvyan Evans' or 'Everett' in the search section for a bevy of replies to the old tired incorrect claims that C&C throws out like confetti at a victory parade.
[2] Actually, I assume that Chomsky's observations are just another footnote to Plato or Aristotle, though I don't know what text he might have been footnoting but, as you know the guy LOVES footnotes!
[3] The great sin of Generative Semantics was to conflate grammaticality and acceptability by, in effect, treating any hint of unacceptability as something demanding a grammatical remedy.
[4] I should add that the distinction between these two kinds of structures (center vs self embedding) is still often ignored or run together. At time, it makes one despair about whether there is any progress at all in the mental sciences.
[5] And which, among other things, led Chomsky to deny that there is a clean grammatical/ungrammatical distinction, insisting that there are degrees of grammaticality as well as the observed degrees of acceptability. Jon Sprouse is the contemporary go-to person on these issues.
[6] And recall, the autonomy of syntax thesis is a very weak claim. It states that syntactic structure is real and hence not reducible to observable features of the linguistic expression. So syntax is not just a reflex of meaning or sound or probabilistic distribution or pragmatic felicity or… Denying this weak claim is thus a very strong position.
[7] There is an excellent discussion of the autonomy of syntax and what it means and why it is important in the forthcoming anniversary volume on Syntactic Structures edited by Lasnik, Patel-Grosz, Yang et moi. It will make a great stocking stuffer for the holidays so shop early and often.
[8] Certainly Jackendoff, the daddy of constructionism has written as much.
[9] Here is a good place to repeat sotto voce and reverentially: 'Colorless green ideas sleep furiously' and contrast it with 'Furiously sleep ideas green colorless.'
[10] Indeed, if I am right about the Associationist/Empiricist subtext in C&C then C&C does not actually believe that there are inherent limits on possible constructions. On this reading of C&C the absence of mirror image constructions is actually just a fact about their absence in the relevant linguistic environment. They are fine potential constructions. They just happen not to occur. One gets a feeling that this is indeed what C&C thinks by noting how impressed it is with "the awe-inspiring diversity of the world's languages" (6). Clearly C&C favors theories that aim for flexibility to cover this diversity. Linguists, in contrast, often focus on "negative facts," possible data that is regularly absent. These have proven to be reliable indicators of underlying universal principles/operations. The fact that C&C does not mention this kind of datum is, IMO, a pretty good indicator that it doesn't take it seriously. Gaps in the data are accidents, a position that any Associationist/Empiricist would naturally gravitate towards. In fact, if you want a reliable indicator of A/E tendencies look for a discussion of negative data. If it does not occur, I would give better than even odds that you are reading the prose of a card carrying A/Eer.
[11] Linguists do differ on whether this is a viable project in general (i.e. likely to be successful). But this is a matter of taste, not argument. There is no way to know without trying.
[12] For example, take a look at this recent piece on the decline of the bee population and the factors behind it. It ends with a nice discussion of the (often) inscrutable complexity of interaction effects:
Let's add deer to the list of culprits, then. And kudzu. It's getting to be a long list. It's also an indication of what a complex system these bees are part of. Make one change that you don't think has anything to do with them -- develop a new pesticide, enact a biofuels subsidy, invent the motorized lawnmower -- and the bees turn out to feel it.
[13] Actually, it used to be the only game in town. There are some urging that scientific inquiry give up the aim of understanding. I will be writing a post on this anon.
[14] This btw, is not even descriptively correct given the myriad different kinds of locality that linguists have identified. Indeed, so far as I know, there is no linear bound between interacting morphemes anywhere in syntax (e.g. agreement, binding, antecedence, etc.).

I think by now you know that I'm addicted to beautiful woodwork. We've added trim around our windows and doors, taller baseboads, board and batten, and beadboard just to our first floor. I really wanted to add a planked wall to our fireplace wall or our staircase walls, but I had to draw the line somewhere. That doesn't mean I still don't admire them or save every single picture of a planked wall I come across.
Most people think of a rustic cottage when they picture planked walls, but they can still be elegant.
Planked walls don't have to always be placed horizontal. Not only does it wrap around the room in this photo, but the ceilings are also clad in wood.
A good DIY project is just to plank the area above your fireplace.
Just for a starting point, of course.

Britney's Dad Still In Charge And Sam Lutfi's Restaining Order Over, But So Is The Friendship
Britney Spears's restraining order against one-time pal Sam Lutfi may have been temporary, but their friendship is permanently over. The pop star's court-appointed attorney, Samuel D. Ingham III, told the Associated Press that he will not seek to extend the restraining order in court on Thursday – because Britney has cut all ties with Lutfi anyway. "Britney has made clear to everyone," Ingham said, "that she does not want to be further harassed or contacted in any way by Osama 'Sam' Lutfi, now or at anytime in the future."
Lutfi has been out of Britney's life since February, when her father, Jamie, was granted legal control of her affairs as temporary conservator. (At the time, Britney's mother, Lynne, accused Lutfi of drugging the singer.) According to Ingham, the restraining order is no longer necessary because Jamie can legally control whom Britney, 26, sees: "During the temporary conservatorship, the conservators have the power to insure that Lutfi will not harm Britney anymore."
Lutfi, it seems, will abide by the Spears family's wishes. He said in his own statement to the AP, "Mr. Lutfi and Mr. Spears have mutually agreed in private that no hearing or order is necessary at this time." Ingham added that once Britney regains control of her life, she will continue to keep Lutfi out of it. "If Mr. Lutfi makes any future attempt to contact Britney after the temporary conservatorship has concluded," he said, "Britney has made clear she will take all appropriate legal action."
Also it has been announced that Britney's father was granted legal control of his daughter until December 31, a court ruled Thursday. Jamie Spears, 56, was named temporary conservator of her affairs on February 1 following his 26-year-old daughter's two forced hospitalizations in January. The conservatorship has been extended until the end of the year, but a progress review of the case has been set for October 28.
"The extension of the conservatorship was at the request and suggestion of Britney's doctors," says a source close to the singer. "They've indicated she's made great improvement, but it's a work in progress. Jamie Spears doesn't want the conservatorship to last a day longer than the doctors recommend."
Jamie has sole authority over whom his daughter has contact with, and has hired security guards to watch her 24 hours a day. He shares control with another lawyer over her multimillion-dollar estate.

While searching for a farmhouse apron front sink, we stumbled across this sink here on overstock. We went to a local supplier which sold an 18 gauge sink and decided we wanted the heavier sturdier 16 gauge that the sink offered and are extremely happy that we made this choice. Once we receive the sink we felt the difference immediately from the 18 gauge to the 16 gauge. We had the sink installed in our new construction home paired with a faucet that we also purchased from overstock and couldn't be happier. The apron front is solid and easy to clean we haven't had a problem with watermarks or spots at all. We couldn't be happier with this purchase!Read More

Adding a time delay to determine load/not load
First, thanks for the plugin.
My question is this:
Is there a way of inserting a brief time delay so that, if an image gets scrolled over/past (out of view) quick enough, it does not load (i.e. images only load if they are on the screen for a determined length of time)?
I appreciate any suggestions/help you might be able to offer up. Or if you could just point me in the right direction, that would be great.
