Welcome to The Daily Yam, bringing you the top play from the night before, anything else you might have missed, and what to look forward to today. It's your one-stop shop when you skipped last night's action, or have forgotten what day it is. Last night, Steph Curry revealed his his new one-legged 3-pointer, and it's awesome.
Your Daily Yam.
There's only one guy in the league who can shoot off of one leg with any consistency, and — as analyst Chris Webber points out — that's Dirk Nowitzki, usually from mid-range. Looks like Curry has added such a shot to his arsenal, but his range is limitless. It's a beautiful thing to see, really:
He's just dropping in treys now like some people do layups. This kid is good. His backcourt mate, Klay Thompson, is also good. Their team now has momentum going back to Oakland — they took Game 2 100-91.
What Else Happened Last Night?
The Heat got back on track by smacking the Bulls around, 115-78; the Bruins took control of their series by beating the Leafs in overtime, 4-3; the Yankees beat the Rockies 3-2 on an infield hit in the 9th; the Twins battered the Red Sox 15-8.
What's On Tap Today?
No NBA playoffs, for some stupid reason; the Senators will try to close out the Canadiens (wow, these are pretty terrible names for sports teams — how am I just noticing that?) at 7 p.m. ET; Pens-Isles at 7 p.m. ET; Blackhawks-Wild at 9:30 p.m. ET; the best looking MLB games include Yanks-Rockies at 3:10 p.m. ET and Braves-Giants at 10:15 p.m. ET.
It's Thursday. I'm parched.

Why You're Stuck in a Narrative
The narrative fallacy addresses our limited ability to look at sequences of facts without weaving an explanation into them, or, equivalently, forcing a logical link, an arrow of relationship upon them. Explanations bind facts together. They make them all the more easily remembered; they help them make more sense. Where this propensity can go wrong is when it increases our impression of understanding.
That is, it does seem that we are all virtuoso novelists, who find ourselves engaged in all sorts of behavior, more or less unified, but sometimes disunified, and we always put the best "faces" on it we can. We try to make all of our material cohere into a single good story. And that story is our autobiography.
They are unable to provide (and likely fail to generate internally) a narrative account of their experiences, wishes, and actions, although they are fully cognizant of their visual, auditory, and tactile surroundings. These individuals lead "denarrated" lives, aware but failing to organize experience in an action generating temporal frame. In the extreme, they do not speak unless spoken to and do not move unless very hungry. These patients illustrate the inseparable connection between narrativity and personhood. Brain injured individuals may lose their linguistic, mathematic, syllogistic, visuospatial, mnestic, or kinesthetic competencies and still be recognizably the same persons. Individuals who have lost the ability to construct narrative, however,have lost their selves.
There are ways to escape the narrative fallacy...by making conjectures and running experiments, by making testable predictions.
Comments (32)
It seems to me that a narrative is generally a maximum likelihood explanation behind an event. If you observe two weird events, an explanation that links them is more likely than an explanation that doesn't. That's why causality is such a great explanation mechanism. I don't think making narratives is a bug. The bug is discarding the rest of the probability distribution... we are bad are remembering complex multimodal distributions.
Sometimes, a narrative will even add unnecessary details and it looks like a paradox (the explanation would be more likely without the details). However, the explanation without the detail would be a zone while the explanation with the detail is a point. If we try to remember modes, it makes perfect sense to add the details.
Coming from here, I don't really understand the advice to
"In other words, concentrate your probability mass"
It seems that concentrating the probability mass would reinforce the belief in the most likely explanation which is often a narrative.
That portion could probably stand to be clarified - at the very least I should provide a link to what I'm referring to: http://yudkowsky.net/rational/technical
The point is to make your explanations have the possibility to increase your knowledge, rather than just satisfy your explanation-itch. If they can equally explain all outcomes, they aren't really explanations.
To use Eliezer's favorite example, phlogiston "feels" like an explanation for why things burn - but it doesn't actually effect what you expect to see happen in the world.
An explanation cannot increase your knowledge.Your knowledge can only increase by observation. Increasing your knowledge is a decision theory problem (exploration/exploitation for example).
Phlogiston explains why some categories of things burn and some don't. Phlogiston predicts that dry wood will always burn when heated to a certain temperature. Phlogiston explains why different kind of things burn as opposed to sometime burn and sometimes not burn. It explains that if you separate a piece of woods in smaller pieces, every smaller piece will also burn.
To clarify my original point, the problem isn't the narrative. The narrative is a heuristic, it's a method to update from an observation by remembering a simple unimodal distribution centered on the narrative (what I think most likely happened, how confident I am)
Edited my reply to correct and clarify (though I'll pass on debating the merits of phlogiston theory).
After re-reading your original comment (it took me a while to parse it) I generally agree with your points. In particular I think "The bug is discarding the rest of the probability distribution" is a good way of summarizing the problem, and something I'll be mulling over.
So we're much better at remembering things as part of a pattern than as a random assortment.
Two famously difficult to remember "nonsense" texts:
So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf to make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. "What! No soap?" So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber; and there were present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and the Garyalies, and the grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top, and they all fell to playing the game of catch-as-catch-can till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.
Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann of a personal God quaquaquaqua with white beard quaquaquaqua outside time without extension who from the heights of divine apathia divine athambia divine aphasia loves us dearly with some exceptions for reasons unknown but time will tell and suffers like the divine Miranda with those who for reasons unknown but time will tell are plunged in torment plunged in fire whose fire flames if that continues and who can doubt it will fire the firmament that is to say blast hell to heaven so blue still and calm so calm with a calm which even though intermittent is better than nothing but not so fast and considering what is more that as a result of the labors left unfinished crowned by the Acacacacademy of Anthropopopometry of Essy-in-Possy of Testew and Cunard it is established beyond all doubt all other doubt than that which clings to the labors of men that as a result of the labors unfinished of Testew and Cunnard it is established as hereinafter but not so fast for reasons unknown that as a result of the public works of Puncher and Wattmann it is established beyond all doubt that in view of the labors of Fartov and Belcher left unfinished for reasons unknown of Testew and Cunard left unfinished it is established what many deny that man in Possy of Testew and Cunard that man in Essy that man in short that man in brief in spite of the strides of alimentation and defecation wastes and pines wastes and pines and concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown in spite of the strides of physical culture the practice of sports such as tennis football running cycling swimming flying floating riding gliding conating camogie skating tennis of all kinds dying flying sports of all sorts autumn summer winter winter tennis of all kinds hockey of all sorts penicillin and succedanea in a word I resume flying gliding golf over nine and eighteen holes tennis of all sorts in a word for reasons unknown in Feckham Peckham Fulham Clapham namely concurrently simultaneously what is more for reasons unknown but time will tell fades away I resume Fulham Clapham in a word the dead loss per head since the death of Bishop Berkeley etc.
I couldn't even finish reading the second one.
Contrast this famous piece of nonsense:
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought
And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
Yes, a constrast indeed. It contains nonsense vocabulary, but it's a perfectly coherent story, so not hard to remember.
Note also, in D&D and probably other related cultures, a "vorpal" weapon has come to mean a magic weapon with a chance of automatically decapitating a foe. And this is pure narrative compression too: in the poem, the hero goes galumphing back with the jabberwock's head after using the vorpal blade to defeat it. The poem doesn't say the jabberwock was killed by decapitation, but it's too easy to join the dots between the snicker -snack and the victorious galumphing, and thus extract an unconscious theory about what it is that "vorpal" blades do.
It contains nonsense vocabulary, but it's a perfectly coherent story, so not hard to remember.
Nonsense vocabulary that was also carefully crafted to sound plausible, with echoes of meaning and associations to existing words.
I doubt it's possible to be any more comprehensible than Jabberwocky without using only real words.
I had a co-worker who took Taleb way too seriously. Any time I used the word "because" in the context of market moves, he would condemn me with the phrase "narrative fallacy." Here is a sample dialogue:
him: "how's it going?" me: "the S&Ps are really whipping around because the fed just did a surprise cut." him: "narrative fallacy!!"
He just didn't really get that even though there are a ton of invalid narratives in the financial markets (just turn on CNBC and you hear them non-stop) that doesn't mean that there aren't valid narratives sometimes also.
To trot out some theoretical evolutionary support, only extremely basic extrapolation would be required in the ancestral evolutionary environment. [....] Being able to produce simple chains of cause and effect would confer a significant survival advantage, but you wouldn't need anything more than that. The world was simple enough that we didn't have to deal with complex interactions - linear extrapolation was "good enough". The world is much different and much more complex today, but unforunately, we're still stuck with the same linear extrapolation hardware.
The world was simple then because we hadn't evolved greater predictive ability, not the other way around. It's more complex today because humans have used their predictive abilities to build complex tools and social structures. So our extrapolating hardware is correlated with the modern world in two senses: it was enough to build it, and it is enough to presently survive in it.
True, we would profit greatly from better extrapolating hardware. But this was just as true in the ancestral environment! Extrapolation ~~ Intelligence ~~ Power to achieve goals. Also, better hardware gives a particular advantage in intraspecific competition, so once genes (or other replicators) for it appear, they spread rapidly.
Ours is not the narrative of "how humankind barely had enough brains to cope with the modern world". It's the narrative of "how humankind had just a tiny amount of brains more than he needed to cope with his ancestral environment, and used them to build a world so complex that only he could survive in it, to the exclusion of cousin species and of older human genotypes".
Telling yourself that you are struggling to free yourself from narrative is of course itself a narrative. There's no escape.
Although one of the distinguishing things about this community is its willingness to use heroic metaphors for this struggle, imagine themselves as martial artists, etc.
An alternative is to embrace the narrative nature of intelligence. See here for some efforts to do that.
I couldn't really follow this concept. Is it something like doing logistics in the past and then drawing conclusions. or Say something like "Vedic texts predict the exact motion of the planets and eclipse at times devices like telescopes were not even thought of". Hence, vedic period was much advanced than ours.
Am I correct here?
That is probably the reason why The Hero's Journey is so popular in novels and movies.
I also think that one should consider when it's actually worth overriding the narrative fallacy. I would say that it depends on
The likelihood that the narrative is misleading (depending on the source of the story and how much we are fooled by the confirmation bias and wishful thinking)
The importance of the question at hand
No use in making the effort of slow thinking if the narrative is already true or the outcome is irrelevant.
Wonderful post.
Because the brain is a hodge podge of dirty hacks and disconnected units, smoothing over and reinterpreting their behaviors to be part of a consistent whole is necessary to have a unified 'self'. Drescher makes a somewhat related conjecture in "Good and Real", introducing the idea of consciousness as a 'Cartesian Camcorder', a mental module which records and plays back perceptions and outputs from other parts of the brain, in a continuous stream. It's the idea of "I am not the one who thinks my thoughts, I am the one who hears my thoughts", the source of which escapes me. Empirical support of this comes from the experiments of Benjamin Libet, which show that a subconscious electrical processes precede conscious actions - implying that consciousness doesn't engage until after an action has already been decided. If this is in fact how we handle internal information - smoothing out the rough edges to provide some appearance of coherence, it shouldn't be suprising that we tend to handle external information in the same matter.
Even this language, I suspect, is couched in a manner that expresses Cartesian Materialist remnants. One of the most interesting things about Dennett is that he believes in free will, despite his masterful grasp of the disunity of conscious experience and action. This, I think, is because he recognizes an important fact: we have to redefine the conscious self as something spaced out over time and location (in the brain), not as the thing that happens AFTER the preceding neuronal indicators.
But perhaps I'm misinterpreting your diction.
Narcissists only believe in themselves, by Last's definition. Other people are supporting cast and villains in a movie the narcissist stars in. The chick in the movie might leave the hero, either because she was fooled by the villain or is really a villain all along. Unless you see people as having their own identities, you can't know that person well enough to trust them. (Well, I suppose you could use a different world-model than multiple identities, as long as it's more accurate than a personal narrative, but Last doesn't discuss that.)
Hopefully Anonymous prefers the term "pageantry", in reference to Goffman's analogy of social behavior to theater.
Robin Hanson's post "You are a character" seems relevant.
There's a scene in some dumb romantic comedy where the sad leading woman comes across an ex-Hollywood old-timer who tells her she's the leading woman in her life but she's acting like the friend. This, the audience is being told, is the right way to think, as she snaps out of her funk (its possible that there is some ironic result later on in the film where it turns out badly, but I really doubt it).

Pope condemns religious violence
Pope Benedict XVI has strongly condemned recent violence against churches and mosques in Iraq and Nigeria. Addressing crowds in St Peter's Square after the Angelus, yesterday, the Holy Father spoke about the destruction of the golden dome in Samarra, and violence elsewhere in Iraq between Sunnis and Shi'ites. He said the attacks lead to mourning, fed hatred and were seriously obstacles to the already difficult work of reconstruction in the country. The Pope also condemned the destruction of churches and mosques in Nigeria, where clashes between Christians and Muslims recently have left many dead. He said: "I express firm condemnation for the violence in places of worship, I entrust all the dead and those who mourn them to the Lord." He added: "The fruits of faith in God are not devastating antagonism, but a spirit of brotherhood and collaboration for the common good. God, Creator and Father of all, will call to account even more severely those who spill their brother's blood in his name." Benedict XVI called all to "more intense prayer and penitence, in the sacred time of Lent, so that the Lord may distance the threat of similar conflicts from those dear nations, and from many other places on earth!"

Two New TV Series from Steven Spielberg
But since he is Executive Producer to both, it's been getting good press release with his name on it. (Hence, my entry's title.)
And also because, these new shows have --- (drumroll, please!) aliens and dinosaurs! When it comes to entertainment in this context, Steven Spielberg's name does come to mind.
So which one will you be watching?
Set to air this May, Terra Nova stars Jason O' Mara (oh, dear lord not him!) and Stephen Lang. (I have reservations about Jason O'Mara because watching him on Life On Mars was painful! I'm sorry! I wasn't impressed!) He plays husband and father to three kids. There's nothing unusual about that, except that they all live in the year 2149 and life on Earth is almost non-existent.
To preserve this, scientists found a way to teleport people so they can "correct" the mistakes made against the Earth. But the problem is, these scientists? Teleported our main characters as far back as 85 Million years ago....back to the time of dinosaurs. (What fate could be any worse?!)
Coming in June and headlined by Noah Wyle and Moon Bloodgood (yes, there's one too many OOOO's in her name but she is awesome!), Falling Skies is about an alien invasion. Pfft! We've all seen one too many alien invasions too, so what else could be different? I actually wouldn't know but maybe this teaser would give us clues (Lt. Dyke from Band of Brothers is on it!!!):
It's too soon to tell which of these Spielberg-produced programs is going to be much-talked about after its debut.
What I know, though, from what I've seen so far? They're not going to hold-off on special effects. I mean --- did you see those spaceships attacking???

The greatest number of accidents occur between the hours of 5 pm and 9 pm.
The guide gives the following tips for kids and parents:
- Use crosswalks.

In this corner, Douglas Fir the Christmas Tree, reigning world champion. And in this corner, Seth the Toddler! Who will win tonight's competition?
It's that time of the year again and my little baby is growing up. He's not one to just stare up at the lights that adorn our Christmas tree anymore. Oh, no. He must not make it that easy. It's him versus the tree this year.
Now that he is almost 2, my son has taken advantage of his learning abilities. Noticing things, pointing to them, trying to say what they are, exploring and, of course, picking everything up. Well, we have presented a slew of new, shiny objects for him to figure out. It's a whole new play land in the living room now, and I don't think the Christmas tree stands a chance against him this year.
Within the first few minutes of him seeing the tree completed — which my 5-year-old daughter and I decorated while he slept — he has taken nearly every ornament off the branches that are within his reach. He even tried to pull all the lights off. He is beating the tree up!
However, he is also learning. The last time he saw such a wonder, he was too small to comprehend what was going on. This year, he is bound and determined to figure out why Mommy and Daddy put a tree in the house and put all kinds of pretty, little things on it. So, each time he takes an ornament off, I tell him that we don't play with those and to put it back. His attempt to put the ornaments back on is actually quite cute because he just shoves it right to the trunk of the tree! LOL! This is where his big sister comes in and helps — but I have to be careful that she doesn't just jump right in and take it away from him without allowing him to first attempt to put it back.
Of course, we only put plastic ornaments or non-breakable ones on the bottom branches anyway because of our dogs' tails. So he can't actually hurt himself if he throws an ornament across the room instead of putting it back on the tree.
His face every morning is so precious! He comes into the living room and stares in awe at the tree. Then he points at it and chatters in his own language at the tree. The poor tree stands there defenseless and takes the slam talk. I believe it will be a few more days — HOPEFULLY — before Seth learns that he is not supposed to torment the tree.

Four of Britain's largest banks enlist new payments app's services
Barclays and Halifax are two of the British financial institutions leveraging VocaLink's new Pay by Bank application – which enables customers to conduct mobile transactions and check their account balances – reflecting the rise of standalone, bank-branded payment platforms.
Bank of Scotland, Halifax, Barclays and Lloyds Bank have all teamed up with VocaLink Group's Zapp payments innovation team to serve customers the Pay by Bank mobile app, a platform that instantly transfers funds from customers' bank accounts to merchant accounts in real-time. Users can check the status of their account balance before making a smartphone-enabled purchase, which will occur through secure digital tokens.
"Tokenization has become key to multi-channel and, in particular, digital payment plays," said Jon Squire, CEO and founder of CardFree. "It adds both a layer of security and anonymity for the customer, while reducing fraud for merchants."
On-the-go banking
The Pay by Bank app taps into each participating financial institution's security platform to verify first-time users, as well as any consumer making a mobile purchase. This enables users to feel a greater sense of security when conducting smartphone-enabled transactions through an app or in a merchant's store.
Individuals will be able to glance at their bank account balances before they check out, allowing them to manage their spending more easily.
The Pay by Bank app – developed by payments innovation team Zapp, a part of VocaLink Group – functions similarly to mobile payment platforms such as Apple Pay and Android Pay. However, the fact that the platform adapts to specific banks' security methods may give it a leg up among the stiff competition.
According to a recent report from Adobe, mobile banking is struggling to grow in the United States compared to other countries as millennial and Gen X customers focus on the quality of a bank's app when deciding where to do business (see story).
Although Apple Pay and its Android counterparts are still heavy-hitters in the mobile commerce sector, many individuals find more ease in using their bank of choice's app, due to the long-standing relationship and trust they associate with that institution.
Several other heavyweights in the financial industry are also cottoning onto this rising trend.
For example, Visa is strengthening its stronghold on mobile payments with the introduction of the Digital Commerce platform, which offers financial institutions such as Webster Bank and PNC Bank the ability to roll out their own consumer-facing apps (see story).
Real-time payments
The Pay by Bank app enables funds to instantly transfer from a customer's bank account to a merchant's account in real-time. Additionally, the payments leverage secure digital tokens, which encrypt consumers' personal financial data.
This means their credit card details will not be revealed to retailers during checkout.
Barclays will be the premier bank to implement Pay by Bank payments into its Pingit app this fall, with others set to soon follow.
"With some of the largest banks in Britain supporting this scheme, and VocaLink's omnipresent rails, customer adoption and merchant support are sure to follow," Mr. Squire said.

Dec 12 (Reuters) - Aetna Inc's CEO said on Thursday that the time frame is too short for the U.S. health insurer to go through the regulatory processes it needs to reinstate or extend canceled health plans and that it will not be doing so.
CEO Mark Bertolini made the comments at an investor meeting where he gave an update on how the insurer is affected by the U.S. Affordable Care Act.
Last month, President Barack Obama said that insurers could extend these health plans under a temporary transitional policy that allowed canceled plans to be reinstated and extended into 2015 whether they complied with the ACA or not.
Obama made the policy change after hundreds of thousands of individuals received notices that their plans were being canceled. The cancellations became a political issue because Obama had promised Americans that if they liked their plan, they could keep it.
Aetna said, however, that it has offered early renewals on plans, which allow consumers to keep their coverage for up to a year longer and into late 2014.
"We talked to the insurance commissioners and the insurance commissioners have agreed with us. If we were to go to all those states, refile all those plans, refile all those rates and do it in time for Dec. 23, we would have paid attention to nothing else," Bertolini said.
Consumers must decide whether to buy plans on the exchanges by Dec. 23 for coverage to start on Jan. 1, 2014.
Aetna is offering plans in 16 states, which means it covers about 30 percent of the exchange marketplace. The exchanges, created under the Affordable Care Act, opened on Oct. 1 to sell plans for 2014. Technology problems have hobbled the ability of consumers to sign up and highlighted the cancellation issue.
Aetna said it expects to gain customers in only about 15 percent of the marketplaces where it is priced the most competitively.
Bertolini said he expects the public exchanges, which are under attack by Republicans, to survive the technology issues.
"By 2015, if we get it fixed right, it'll be a new start," he said.

On this day in 1804, Richard Trevithick – the Cornish inventor and engineer – wrote this about the historic journey made by his Penydarren steam locomotive hauling five wagons along the 9 miles of the Merthyr Tramroad.
"Yesterday we proceeded on our journey with the engine; we carry'd ten tons of Iron, five waggons, and 70 Men riding on them the whole of the journey.
"Its above 9 miles which we perform'd in 4 hours & 5 mints, but we had to cut down som trees and remove some Large rocks out of the road. The engine, while working, went nearly 5 miles pr hour, there was no water put into the boiler from the time we started untill we arriv'd at our journey's end. The coal consumed was 2 Hund'd.
"On our return home abt 4 miles from the shipping place of the iron, one of the small bolts that fastened the axel to the boiler broak, and let all the water out of the boiler, which prevented the engine returning untill this evening."
This account was later published by Trevithick's son in his biography of his father.


text: Here's the story: I've been rooted and running roms for a while, starting when Pete was just coming out with his first Bugless Beauties. I've been through a bunch of ROMS, and installed them pretty much all the ways you can. Lately I've been on DroidMod 1.0. I had originally installed it without flashing /data. However, I noticed that my memory was getting pretty low...down to about 90 MB according to mini info widget. So I re-flashed, but this time I allowed it to wipe /data. Wow, what a difference. Immediately, I was up to almost 180M of memory! But it's been dropping steadily since then. I'm down to about 145M and that's with not loading very many new programs. I'm very conscientious about deleting cache, etc. Any idea as to what could be causing this? Thanks all.

The 2011 Vintage Begins: Pruning at Fantesca
Pruning is one of those milestone events in the year. It is a low stress event since the vines are dormant and there is a large window of opportunity to get the work done. I am amazed at the skill and speed of the workers who know how to make the precise cuts that will yield just the right number of shoots all pointed in the correct manner. This is critical to the health of the vineyard and the quality of the wine.
Welcome to 2011! We will keep you posted on the vintage's progress, but you won't be able to taste it until September of 2014!

Hi Carolyn, I hope you are well. I just finished reading your book "Honor your Spirit and I must say I was truly touched and moved. While reading I began to feel like all the answers to the questions I had were being answered. Many times throughout reading I could not only relate to your experiences but I could feel what you felt at that moment. Reading "Honor your Spirit" has truly helped me understand where I am at this point of my life and how what I've experienced throughout my life has contributed to where I am. ~ A. B. - Industry Professonal.
Amazon Reviews!!
I recommend this book to anyone searching for spiritual guidance regarding their life's purpose. The author discusses our journey here in this plane, offers guidance and assistance, and tells us how to build upon her foundation of knowledge. She is very experienced in the area of metaphysics. Her book came to me when I needed it! - D. Castano
Amazing book. As someone who has read a lot of books on spiritual matters I found this a wonderful resource that brought together many teachings under one cohesive reading. Much of these teachings I have heard before but the way the author presented it somehow made me hear it in an inspiring, yet concrete and useful way. Since reading "Honor Your Spirit" my life has been full of synchronicity and I truly hear the universe speaking to me and guiding me along my path. A must read for anyone on a spiritual journey. - M.J. - lawyer
LOVED IT!! A wonderfully thought-provoking and inspiring book, beautifully woven with personal stories and experiences. Carolyn's book has given me much to reflect on and is one that you will return to time and again for inspiration and guidance. Lovely and wonderful! Thank you for sharing your truth and wisdom, Carolyn!
I absolutely love this book and appreciate Carolyn and her work even more!!
I'm Dr Latrice and Cellular Grief is all about me. I would recommend this book to EVERYONE....let the healing begin. Thank you Carolyn my life was forever changed.
Living in divine healing ~ Dr. latrice
Great book ! It explains complex matters in simple and understandable terms. Incorporates personal experience of the writer to illustrate concepts of spirituality, soul, "intuitive" and "sensitive" . Many of the ideas are consistent with philosophy I have encountered in yoga and meditation classes. The book offers exercises at the end of the chapters inviting readers to consider practical application of the ideas discussed.
Pleasure to read and even entertaining.
Outstanding book and it touches the heart!
There is magic in those words as evidenced by the miracles I experienced for 7 days after reading. I highly recommend this book.
When I learned to listen to my spirit and followed its' prompts through signs synchronicites and messages, I was able to find my path and walk it.
Dialoguing with the Universe was a regular conversation that helped me to learn how to flow in life and create miracles.
Though visitations from spirit, tragedy and triumph I was able to enhance my life and inspire others to do the same. Available in May,11 2016 on Amazon, Kindle - E book

This book is absolutely life changing. "Honor Your Spirit" has truly been helpful on my journey. Coming out of my Saturn Return I felt lost. This book has been a guiding source that gives so much to everyday life situations that arise. From stressful jobs, to mourning the loss of a loved one, speaking your truth into reality, and creating your purposeful life; Honor Your Spirit is a true resource. Thank you Carolyn for sharing your experiences with the world. It's helped me get on track. I'm looking forward to reading your next book. Namaste
I have know Carolyn in the past through her classes and seminars. She is open to share her story and always ready to help. This book is testimony of her truth and journey. As you may know there are many self-help books out there. There is major difference between this one and other books. Carolyn has shared her own personal experience and spiritual journey in order to support others. It feels like that this book has a soul and all because of those personal experiences. The read is smooth and contents are clear and helpful.

My PSU is putting out power fine, it's more then enough power for my system. (Thermaltake Toughtpower Grand 1200w A+ Certified Gold. This PSU is fairly new too, only few months)
The design on my card is just bad... I've been doing research and looked through old Newegg topics and apparently a lot of people have been having overheating issues with this particular card.

In the FWIW catagory, I have used Powercolor before and have a Powercolor 5770 in my machine now. I have never had a single problem with them but am looking to upgrade. I was looking at the same card as you. The specs look good to me, but I have searched for hours and can't find but 8-10 reviews on the card. All of the reviews seem to be good, just not enough of them. So far what I have learned is that the 2DH version is quieter and cooler than the M2DH version. The M2DH has good reviews but is quite loud. Most of the reviews on the net are of the M2DH version. Not much to be found on the 2DH. That's the only thing that concerns me. So, I'm between that one and the Sapphire 6870 Vapor-X, which has a lot of reviews - all good.
Would it be a good idea to go ahead and remove the stock grease and reapply my own? Stock Grease is always put on sloppy anyway, 90% of the time it's oozing out the side of the cooler block.

Mount Snow's parent company to buy New York's Hunter Mountain ski resort for $36.8M
HUNTER, N.Y. >> An upstate New York ski area is being sold for $36.8 million to a Missouri resort company.
The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports Peak Resorts said Monday it has an agreement to buy the family-owned Hunter Mountain ski resort in the northern Catskill Mountains. The sale is set to be completed by Christmas.
The Greene County resort has been owned by the Slutzky family since the late 1950s.
Timothy Boyd, president and CEO of Peak Resorts, says Hunter Mountain has become one of the most iconic ski resorts in the area with its reputation for making great snow.
Boyd says the company eventually wants to pair up Hunter Mountain with its operations at Mount Snow in Vermont.
Peak Resorts operates 13 ski resorts across the country.

July 2015 News Bloopers Are Journalism Done Wrong. So Very Wrong.
The extreme summer heat got you down? Why not take a load off by watching the best TV news bloopers from July?
The extreme summer heat got you down? Why not take a load off by watching the best TV news bloopers from July?
The news is supposed to be the place you go to find out what's happening in the world, but it's turning out to be the place you go for laughs.
It's a double dose of news bloopers – a bloopers bonanza, if you will.
The calendar has turned, but before we jump into a new month, it's time to pay our respects to the month that was with the best news bloopers.
Times change and people change and but one thing that will never change? News bloopers being funny.
March came in like a lion and out like a blooper reel.
We're only one month into 2015 and we've already had a year's worth of classic news bloopers.
While a good chunk of the country is battling frigid temperatures, the Phoenix area seems to be in the midst of a heat wave that would make the sun feel like chillier than the Good Humor man's freezer.
Another month is just about in the books, which means it's time to look back at the best of the worst of the news.
It's time to tear off another month from the calendar, which can only mean one thing: let's take a look at the best news bloopers.

After over a decade working in the fitness industry as well as being a pastor, counselor, and coach it has been a desire to help people understand that physical exercise is a spiritual responsibility. As believers we are now part of the priesthood of the Lord, and are responsible to maintain the temple. That temple is our body.
You can have a healthier life both physically and spiritually if you will be intentional and relentless in your pursuit of both. This Faith & Fitness bundle will help you do exactly that. You get both a 30 day faith and fitness devotional to encourage you and help you in the spiritual journey of physical fitness, as well as a copy of the 6 principles to sustainable eating.
Over the course of the 30 days you will be given a daily scripture to dwell on as well as a motivational word that will strengthen you spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, while you train physically. Each day touches on a topic of your health and fitness journey, while providing spiritual insight to strengthen your walk with the Lord.
You've probably heard it before, but nutrition is the key factor in getting to your health and fitness goals. Most "diets" fail because they are not sustainable. The principles in this book will help you make nutritional changes that last and get you to your goals. It also includes the top 10 recipes Amber and I use at home. They have helped us stay in shape, win figure competitions, powerlifting meets, Jujitsu tournaments, as well as hike and bike countless miles of rugged terrain.
The 6 Principles of Sustainable Eating ebook, was a popular download when we owned our gym for 5 years, and has now been brought back and paired with this devotional to encourage believers to live a healthier lifestyle.

True leaders are courageous enough to be receptive to and investigate issues that come before them with an open mind. This is done without preconceived which are oftentimes misconceived notions, and even and especially in regards to the non-politically-correct sensitive issues.
Once a "true leader" does that, then they decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. True strong leaders then are willing to take a stand on their decision whether it is politically correct or not.
In other words, they prove all things before holding fast to whatever they view is right.
And then act to stand up for what is right quickly without hesitation as if nothing to loose and nothing can stop them.
If necessary, not to apologize nor compromise but as a real true strong leader willing to go in the face attacking sometimes the impossible. And with a shock and awe offensive to confront the confrontation not just to subdue the enemy-at-the-moment as a wimp might but win and win decisively so all know who the true leader is.
They are true men and true women setting the standard for those around them to follow.
That and so much more is taught here at www.agslifeacademy.org as part of how to THINK for yourself. Especially in times of set backs and crises.
The question of how to do that without being offensive is the key and also taught so all win successfully with peace, harmony, joy and love for all.
All that for $2147 and 6 months one hour a day investment per person. With the very practical Work Study Program the course investment may be reduced and even to a debt-free status at the end.
Seriously and guaranteed.
Without that true leader attitude, bluntly, you don't deserve a Diploma from AGS Life Academy.

Hi, been at this for days. Can't get it to work. Is this a bug? But in your response to the Jan 14 question, you answered one of my questions, "Click on one pin, and if both are connected they should turn yellow". I expected this but it didn't happen.A: ground fill seed dialog box says it "collects" (not connects) all labeled "grd, ground" and "seeds", the Vcc negative terminal is labelled "ground" and the blue encirclement is "hashed" opened appearing to connect to the gold "background" and so do the seeded connectors. This suggests all are connected. But, click on one they all don't turn yellow, why?B: if all seeds are connected to ground why don't they turn "green" after a ground fill as in a trace connection?
I'm not really a high end user, nor have much elec experience, but I have a sketch done by someone else with ground fill, and if I click on one GND pin, all GND pins turn yellow.
In this sketch they stay red after the ground fill is applied.
If you want to post the .fzz here - 7th button - I can look at it.
555 TIMER PCB.fzz (13.6 KB)Thanks for the quick reply attached is the circuit. It would save a lot of traces and time if I could get ground fill to work. Your help is appreciated,Les
looks like the ground-fill is working alright to me.... It looks like this circuit is not done, you have an RGB LED with only the green anode hooked up. But I'm sure you knew that.
555 TIMER PCB.fzz (9.7 KB)
If ground seeds are marked wrong or some items touch you'll have an issue with the ground fill.. But I played with it for a few minutes and done.
Good luck!
Hi thanks for the quick reply. Opened the file you sent back, clicked the GF seed C1 pin1 expected to see GF seed pin1 of R2 turn yellow but didn't. Apparently it did for you.1. I read you don't need traces for GF seeds. But if I set traces only on the bottom layer to all seeds and then ground fill, it seems to work, get islands, all GF seeds light when one is clicked, etc. and all orange traces disappear on top, top-bottom and faintly appear on bottom view. 2. Still wonder why ground fill seeds after ground fill do not turn "green" to show they are connected.3. Though ground fill and seeds seem straight forward and simple (clearly not for me) I looked for tutorials to no avail and examples of circuits that I did find were not helpful
Thanks again.L
Hi all PLEASE HELP! been a this for weeks, Even bought Simon Monk's book and then bought the e-version cause I couldn't wait to get the book hoping it would fully explain "ground fill" ( GF) and ground fill seeds" (GFS) a few sentences on GF, nothing on GFS, NO HELP! logically, and that may be my problem, if connectors are set as GFS then you ground fill, all are connected to a ground fill island, R3 pin 1, C1 -pin and U1 pin 1 "ground" are connected to the same island. I get that pin 0 of C2 is connected to an island that's not connected to anything, so no connection to R1 or C1. What I dont get is why when I click R1, C1 and U1 dont light since they are on the same island? I must be missing something very simple.
You assign the ground seed to the pin on the part if you want it connected to the ground fill - right-click on pin -.
The ground pins only light when there is no ground fill, so you test it throughly before and then ground fill, but even after ground fill there should be a ratsnest dotted line still connecting grounds.
Pin ends only change from red to green when there is a physical connection.
You can link islands with links, or organise it so they can connect, or use one side of a double-sided board, or use a physical trace - red blob to red blob on the islands -, or you can set the ground fill keepout smaller so that it might be able to snake a connection, or use a via to the other side ground fill and then another via back to the other island.
You can upload it here - 7th button - and someone can look at it.
thanks, that was fast, I never get a ratsnest dotted line as you can see from the uploaded image. If I did then I would know they are connected and can remove them. I bet if I did remove them the connectors wouldn't light. Don't understand, "the ground pins only light when there is no ground fill...".Thought you didn't have to use a trace for seeds. Still don't understand why if 3 connectors are touching the ground fill "yellow" they don't light when you click one of them. I bought Simon Monk's book hoping he would explain all of this but has very little on GFs and nothing on seeds. I get the part of linking the islands, that makes sense. How can I trust that the ground fill seeds are connected by the ground fill if they don't light when one is clicked? Am i just supposed to accept that they are connected and submit my PCB for production?Cant find anything online that fully explains how to use seeds and ground fill.Do you know of any site? Am I the only one with this problem and these questions or just dense?
thanks again for your helpl
That's why I said upload it, because I bet the GNDs are labeled correctly in SCH.
Sorry I was wrong about them not turning yellow after ground fill, because I just checked and they still do turn yellow when 1 pin is clicked.
Download this one and try, and then add ground fill and try.schematic v0.3.5.fzzhttps://github.com/noisymime/speeduino/blob/master/reference/hardware/v0.3/schematic%20v0.3.5.fzz
You can test the Gerber with Gerbv - a free program - or an online onehttp://gerblook.org/pcb/TDDAmLYGorUtXnieQ3GwCH
hi thanks, downloaded the schematic v0.35, impressive especially the schematic which I suspect he did first. There is one interesting area, part labelled Q4, pin "source 3 basic FET.." looks like a ground fill seed but right click and the ground fill seed choice is not checked and there is no ratsnest line connecting this pin but it lights when the others are clicked?
there must be or should be a site that fully explains seeds and fills. The closest I have found is in Eagle and they mainly discuss ground fill planes.
thanks again
btw its after I ground filled the sketch! before GND fill its is connected and set as a seed. after, no ratsnest connection but does what I thought it should, light when other seeds are clicked. after ground fill, GND fill seed after right click is not checked!
this is nuts! reloaded the schematic v0.35 and ratsnest line appears! must be a program issue, sorry
Yeah, I was just looking at that.
Sometimes I open the file and right-click that part and the faded ground seed text is not clicked - most of the time -, and other times it is ticked - rare -.
I vaguely remember having a problem a while back where I was having trouble setting ground seeds reliability, but I gave up on it because I don't use GND fill on my projects.
You can go Routing/Ground Fill/Choose Ground Fill seeds and click on GND, and it shows you all the GND seeds.You can also click the text in the bottom red bar.You can also check the gerbers and output pics that they are actually there by looking at the drawing.
EDITI got the GND seeds back. I added a resistor to the PCB view and set one pin to GND seeds, and all came back.From memory I think it was fine with small numbers of components, but this one with lots of components and it was unreliable.
Hi O/G, I THINK I SOLVED IT! Was always looking at this logically then it occurred to me maybe it was illogical or partly logical.
YOU HAVE TO FIRST KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE. i know ground fill and seeds work, have a PCB done by Fritzing with connectors that are "unconnected" on the board but are connected to GND in reality.The image sent has these connectors "GREEN" WITH NO TRACE TO ANYTHING ON THE BOARD,must be a ground fill and seeds somewhere!.I looked at the schematic you sent me and this person knows what he is doing just by looking at the schematic. His PCB has ratsnest lines, why? Because they are "trace" connected in the schematic! If you remove the ratsnest lines in the PCB, the connection is terminated in both views! But if you GND fill his PCB you see the "SEEDS" and the ratsnest lines. DONT DELETE THE LINES. as someone suggested,, just click on one and move it, bend it, it disappears and the CONNECTORS TURN GREEN!
1) SET GND FILL SEEDS, GND FILL NOW OR LATER2) IN THE SCHEMATIC VIEW (why, I don't know) make a trace from all SEEDS to wherever, to other seeds, to neg battery terminal, to ground, doesn't matter.3) IN THE PCB VIEW THESE TRACES ARE NOW RATSNEST LINES! (traces made in PCB view are ratsnest lines in the schematic view and vice versa, why, don't know)4) NOW GROUND FILL IF YOU HADN'T BEFORE, CONNECTORS WITH SEEDS AND RATSNEST LINES ARE STILL RED!5) MOVE, BEND BUT DON'T DELETE THE RATSNEST (RNL) LINE! WHEN YOU RELEASE THE LEFT MOUSE AFTER MOVING OR BENDING THE RATSNEST LINE, DISAPPEARS!6) THE SEED CONNECTORS TURN GREEN, HALLELUJAH! WHY NOW? I DON'T KNOW, AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT FOR EACH RNL7) ALL CONNECTED SEEDS TO GND FILL WILL NOW LIGHT WHEN ONE IS "CLICKED" HALLELUJAH, AGAIN, I'M CURED!8) IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE YOU CANT JUST DESELECT "GROUND FILL SEEDS" OR REMOVE IT FROM A CONNECTOR, ONCE CONNECTED IT STAYS CONNECTED TO THE FILL! ONLY WAY I FOUND SO FAR IS TO DELETE ALL SEEDS AND START OVER!
thanks for all your help and inspiration.Les
While I don't know anything about ground fills, this one I do know. This is true of all three views (and often a source of problems): a connection made in one view (breadboard, schematic or pcb) will be reflected as a rats nest line in to the other two views so you can make the same connection there. The gotchas appear to be around errors or possibly doing it in more than one view (I lean towards errors but am not sure). It is best practice to make all your connections in a single view and then save a copy of the board in that state because sometimes making a connection change in another view corrupts the Fritzing database and the only known cure is to start again (preferably from your saved only one view version although even that can be a pain.) I suspect (but don't know for certain) that the changes that happen when you touch rats nest lines are probably the database being prodded and deciding there is a ground plane there that it needs to process. Once that is done the rats nest is routed and thus disappears.
That's why I wanted to look at the .fzz, because the views aren't totally independent.
If you want the PCB right, you need the SCH to be totally finished.
Thanks Peter and many thanks O/G for the info that made me persist.made my first PCB with seeds and ground fill, a thing of beauty!BTW, FYI the previous off-white boards from Fritzing were elegant! Aisler's boards are the traditional green with raised trace wires, lot cheaper but not elegant!. Aisler says I can get the others if I order 420 or more!

An Orcadian student is to have her winning competition designs brought to life after wowing our judges with her range of contemporary jewellery, inspired by one of Scotland's Neolithic sites. Read our blog post to take a look back at all the runners from the competition.
We partnered with Orkney-based jewellery manufacturer, Ortak, to challenge students across the country to design a range of jewellery inspired by Maeshowe Chambered Cairn. They were asked to draw on the different features of the 5,000 year old Orkney site, and its past, to help inspire their designs for the chance to have their creations manufactured and made available to purchase in gift shops and online.
Local Orcadian and Fine Art Textiles student, Norna Sinclair was named by judges as the overall winner. Representing the heritage and historical landscape of the site, her designed range – which includes a necklace, bracelet, ring and earrings – uses the circular bird's eye view and archaeological field survey drawings of Maeshowe for its main inspiration. Norna drew on other aspects and features from the local surrounding landscape through the use of coloured enamels and was inspired by the Barnhouse Stone, incorporating this into her earring design as well as necklace and bracelet fastenings.
Our judges also named Glasgow-based student Paula Hutchinson as runner up for her pendant design inspired by the Viking dragon stone carving within the tomb at Maeshowe.
Buy our range at Edinburgh Castle, Skara Brae or online. And our last date for Christmas delivery is 19 December* – NOW SHIPPING OVERSEAS.

Energy was high on the agenda at the Eastern Partnership Summit in Riga on 21-22 May 2015. Leaders from the EU, EU countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine attended the Summit.
The Eastern Partnership was launched in 2009 with the aim of deepening relations between the EU and its Eastern neighbours. Cooperation also includes a broad range of energy related issues, including the Eastern Partnership Flagship Initiative on energy.
Summit participants signed a Declaration which reaffirms their interest in strengthening energy security, sustainability and competiveness, as well as boosting the diversification of supply. They also reiterated their intention to deepen bilateral and multilateral cooperation in energy.
The Declaration highlights the importance of well-functioning energy markets and the contribution that energy efficiency and renewable energy can make to boosting security of supply.
It welcomes progress made on major energy infrastructure projects including the opening of natural gas reverse flow capacities to Ukraine from Hungary, Poland and Slovakia; and the role of Azerbaijan, Georgia and other countries in the Southern Gas Corridor which will deliver gas directly from the Caspian Sea to Europe.
It also encourages the continuation of work on gas and electricity interconnectors inside the EU and between the EU and its Eastern European partners.
Summit participants also welcomed the objective of the EU's Energy Union strategy to deepen integration between the EU and the energy markets of the Energy Community – an international organisation containing the EU, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, and Ukraine.
Leaders also welcomed the signature of a Cooperation Arrangement on an Early Warning Mechanism between the European Commission and the Republic of Belarus which sets out practical measures aimed at preventing, and rapidly reacting to, an emergency in case of a disruption of supply of natural gas, oil, oil products or electricity between the Republic of Belarus and the European Union.

I grew up adjacent to our cottage exploring the woods, fishing and swiming in the pond with my brothers. We all still enjoy those things. I live near chautauqua now and my wife and I both work for Maplevale Farms in Flaconer, NY. We have 2 dogs and love the outdoors and boating on chautauqua lake. I am also a professional life coach. I love mountain biking, skiing and paddleboarding.
