I'm not sure the wording makes it clear that a quad shares the ENTIRE face of the polyogn, i.e. does it exclude two or more quads sharing the same polygonal face?
The way I intended it, it does, but it doesn't make much difference since you could easily turn a polygon tiled multiple-to-a-face (if one existed) to a polygon tiled one-to-a-face by adding vertices between the quadrilaterals on the polygon faces, and making the polygon faces bend back and forth at those vertices to differentiate them.
The reason I'm posting this here is not just to discuss the problem, but to ask what I can do with this now that I have it. Is it trivial by some theory--where should I go to find that out--and if it doesn't seem to be trivial is there a next step? Find a professor? Could I possibly get it published? My proof is centered around a graphical case analysis that, while I believe is sufficient, I don't know how to make much more rigorous/algebraic.

"On Occu'thar, for example, they'll both stand inside the void zones on the ground in order to give themselves targets to heal."
That's as good a reason as I've seen for a raid kick or some kind of serious talking to. The first thing you should always evaluate _any_ raid member on is how much avoidable damage they take. If they are failing on that, you don't even need to look at their DPS, HPS or whatever charts.
Yeah, I seriously disagree on your heal sniping commentary; cross healing needs to be encouraged at pretty much every opportunity or else you're enforcing many more single points of failure in your raid strats. Delivering on your raid assignment is always job #1 and I think that's the point you're trying to make but you better believe that I'm going to be hotting tanks and using nourish on a health depleted tank to keep up harmony when raid healing mana allowing, and you bet that I'm casting wild growth on the raid when it makes sense and I can afford it while tank healing. The only time I would make an exception to cross healing is when you're trying to sus out your healing strat/assignments for an encounter. There you do want to make sure one assignment isn't too overburdened and riding on the coat tails of another assignment.
Heal sniping dosen't exist, its discussion is a symptom of a failed raid environment that is putting too much emphasis on HPS/Total healing done numbers.
Tyler Caraway said...
Occu'thar with five to six healers is very serious business for a guild that's running Firelands hard modes. We should totally punish our healers for having their own fun and seeing how hard they can push their healing instead of sitting around bored because none of us are taking any damage. We could single heal the encounter if we wanted to, so the worst case is that those two healers die. Big deal.
Cross healing is not heal sniping. Tossing a HoT on a tank or raid member is not heal sniping. Heal sniping is when you go out of your way to heal another healers target before they can do it. Paladins were generally most notorious for this in previous expansions because of their strong reliance on Flash of Light. Most other healers had to rely on much longer heals to cast compare to paladins, so it was fairly easily for a paladin to get off a Flash of Light on the target before the heal from another healer would land.
tibbelkrunk said...
I still don't see how racing to heal people up is a bad thing. If you can afford all that overhealing, then that means you have a large buffer before raid deaths, or could even afford to have a healer switch to DPS if you want.
"Occu'thar with five to six healers is very serious business for a guild that's running Firelands hard modes."
Then it would never be brought up for examination in that situation, the log would never even be clicked on. No one's looking at HPS/Healing done numbers for a fight that a raid's well beyond.
"Cross healing is not heal sniping. Tossing a HoT on a tank or raid member is not heal sniping. Heal sniping is when you go out of your way to heal another healers target before they can do it."
Again, I fail to see a situation where this healing isn't beneficial. If you have your assignment covered and you're not running out of mana, you should be tossing out more heals whereever you see a deficit. You paladin example is a perfectly legitimate practice, this concept of owning a health deficit is completely foreign to me. If someone is worried about having a heal "sniped" then the problem is either A. Raid leadership doesn't know how to evaluate healers and puts too much stock in simple HPS/Healing done numbers or B. the person bent out of shape about the "snipe" doesn't know what raid healing is about and puts too much stock in personal HPS/Healing done numbers

When it comes to television sets, I don't ask for much. Just give me a crisp, clear picture, reasonably decent sound quality, and controls I can understand without remedial classes at Roxbury Community College.
So I'm reasonably happy with the 55-inch TV by LG Electronics that I've been testing recently. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I had to pay for the set, which carries a $3,600 base price, though you can find it elsewhere for a still steep $2,800. Still, for straight-up TV viewing, this big, brilliant set is as good as it gets.

A documentary following the life of no bullshit frontman Lemmy Kilmister is slated to premiere at the 2010 South By Southwest festival. Producers/directors, Wes Orshoski and Greg Olliver deliver this in depth romp through the world of Lemmy after following the Ace of Spades hero for 3 years. The film, dubbed LEMMY, shows the bassist in the privacy of his California home as well as on the road for live performances in Scandinavia and Russia. Above and beyond a close up look at Lemmy, the film also boasts a plethora of interviews with artists that claim Kilmister as a major musical influence and friends he's acquired over the years. Featured guests reportedly include Foo Fighters' rock hero Dave Grohl, metal veterans Metallica, Slash, Alice Cooper, the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Bob Thornton and even wrestler Triple H. Dave Grohl is quoted saying, "If anyone deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's Lemmy".

page 5 - Datsun 280ZX
Putting the Z name on a very different car.
By September 21, 2005
The 5-speed gearbox in both cars had a stiff though positive action, again a result of few miles, and we hope the rather notchy 4-5 shift will smooth out as miles are added. The reduction in clutch effort, accomplished by adding an assist spring, is much appreciated.
Frankly, the ZX needs the power-assisted steering. Even with a higher overall ratio and more turns lock to lock, the steering requires a hefty effort for tight turns and low-speed maneuvers. And response, never a strong point of the later Zs, has deteriorated still further in the ZX. We know where the problem lies. To isolate road harshness and to minimize steering wheel kickback. Datsun specifies rack bushings with a durometer on a par with soft Jell-o. As a result, when you turn the steering wheel, the pinion shaft has to compress the bushings before imparting movement to the rack and the road wheels. Higher-rate bushings are available from various aftermarket sources and we heartily recommend them.
If you looked at only the skidpad and slalom numbers, you'd have to conclude that the ZX handles better than its 280Z counterpart. But you have to remember that these figures are only two objective measurements: on the road feel is important too. That O.76Og figure for the 280ZX is impressive (we didn't put the 2+2 through this test but based on experience and the 2+2's extra weight and same-size tires we'd estimate its cornering power at 0.720g). but despite the coupe's 50/50 weight distribution. we found more understeer and slower steering response than before. But the driver who's willing to work at it can still provoke mild controllable oversteer hvjudiciously backing out of the throttle while cornering at the limit.
As befitting its upmarket image. Datsun has cranked a lot of compliance into the front suspension while simultaneously softening the shock control, especially in jounce. Datsun engineers achieved their aim: On smooth pavement the ZX is the smoothest and quietest riding of' any Z car. On rough roads, however. there's not enough control for our tastes.
The 2 + 2 understeers even more than the coupe but the faster geared and quicker (16:1. 2,7 turns lock to lock) power-assisted steering allows the driver to cope with the understeer more easily. With the assisted steering, response is reasonably accurate and precise. Effort is on the light side and a driver with quick reflexes can heat the boost at loss speeds. but it makes driving either model a lot less tiring.
We found pluses and minus with the 4-wheel disc brakes. The fade that plagued the last few Z cars we tested is gone. But panic stopping distances weren't up to our expectations, the coupe we tested exhibiting moderate front luck and not being especially sensitive to pedal modulation. To meet federal stopping distance requirements with maximum load and pedal effort limits during booster failure, the Z probably has softer pads and more front braking bias than is ideal, which prevent the all-disc system from performing to its potential.
It was very interesting monitoring staff reaction to the two ZXs we drove. Most everyone chose the sportier coupe first and came back complaining about the soft ride and the heavy steering. When they exited the Grand Luxury equipped 2+2. staffers raved about the comfortable cloth seats, the excellent stereo system. the cruise control, power accessories such as the outside mirrors and window lifts and the quick, light steering. You'd almost think they were describing two totally different cars. In truth, that's really the case. Thomas Wolfe was right when he said you can't go home again. Today's Z car is not yesterday's Z car and though purists will mourn the passing of the sports car Z. enthusiasts will rejoice for the GT Z. The base coupe makes a feeble attempt at being the sports car it once was. As that, it's a sham. Adding the Grand Luxury' options. however, totally transforms the car. In this guise the ZX makes no pretense at trying to be something it isn't. You know' right off it's a totally different Z, a quiet, solid, refined, luxurious GT. It's a far cry from the original 240Z but if you have to go upmarket this is the way to go. And despite our somewhat negative comments about ride and handling. it's still a sporty car.
No prices were available as this test was written, but we're guessing that the base Z coupe will retail for about $9500 and that the 2+2 with standard power-assisted steering and air conditioning will cost around $11,000. Figure on spending $500 for air conditioning and another $370 for automatic transmission. If you costed out all the items in the Grand Luxury package separately, you'd probably come up with a total close to $1000. But as a package. clever Japanese marketing will probably keep the cost to around $700. So a fully loaded 2 + 2 should list for a little more than $12,000. Wow'! Doesn't it seem like only yesterday when you could buy a 240Z for $3500? But even in a $ 10.000$12,000 price bracket the ZX will enjoy significant marketing advantages compared to its closest rivals. It's more luxurious than either the Corvette or 924, has a decided edge over the 924 in performance and the Corvette in fuel economy and the 2 + 2 can accommodate an extra two passengers with much more comfort than the 924.
Will the ZX be a success'? You can bet on it. Datsun sold 70,000 Zs in the U.S. in 1977: this year that number is expected to increase to 75.000. With the introduction of the ZX. we wouldn't he the least surprised to see that figure jump even higher in 1979. The Japanese automakers can no longer sell their products on cost alone. The ZX certainly isn't a bargain, but the dollar/yen parity problems aren't Datsun's fault. In its new upmarket price class, the ZX does offer impressive value for the dollar and because of that we expect it to be a rousing success.

The York arms is a friendly place. The bar staff are chatty and happy. They have a good size garden with play equipment, and there is limited parking at the front (plenty on the residential streets around the pub though). That's pretty much where the good points end. It is a bit of an oldies pub, they have a few regulars who sit there for most of the day and glare when someone they don't know comes in. The drinks are expensive, and the beer isn't all that great. Sometimes they have a cheesy disco. The toilets are poorly maintained if at least clean usually. They do sell food, which is limited to jacket potatoes and ploughmans as far as I'm aware, although in the summer they have barbeques in the garden which can be quite nice.
In this immediate area you have the choice of two pubs. You get the Rising Sun which is a modern pub compared to this one the York Arms which is abit more old fashioned pubs that I think could do with a face lift.
It is an old style pub with equally old style punters all probably regulars by the looks of their stares. You get bench seating and a couple of areas split by the bar itself.
There is a seafood stall outside (that tells you all you need to know). I must say though they do have a nice garden in the rear which offers a barbecue now and again.
A couple of ales but not any of my favourites (I really don't like Green King). Sorry won't be coming back here very often, I will leave it to the locals.
This user has arrived from Qype, a European company acquired by Yelp in 2012. We have integrated the two sites to bring you one great local experience.

|Cookbook:Jam Roly-Poly Jam Roly-Poly
Jam Roly-Poly, DeCleats' Arm, Dead Man's Arm or Dead Man's Leg is a traditional British pudding probably first created in the early 19th century.[1] It is a flat-rolled suet pudding, which is then spread with jam and rolled up, similar to a Swiss roll, then steamed or baked. In days past, Jam Roly-Poly was also known as shirt-sleeve pudding, because it was often steamed and served in an old shirt-sleeve. Because of this, another nickname for the pudding was dead-man's arm, or dead man's leg.
Jam Roly-Poly features in Mrs Beeton's cookery book, as Roly-Poly Jam Pudding. This pudding is one of a range of puddings that are now considered part of the classic desserts of the mid 20th century British school dinners. Much loved, as part of the nostalgia of growing up for some older British adults, Jam Roly-Poly is considered alongside sticky toffee pudding and spotted dick pudding as an essential part of their childhood diet.[citation needed]

Destroying the Origination: What Does Breed Autism In Humans
have e a cure, administration, advowson, agency, agentship, aid,
air-dry, alterative, ameliorate, analeptic, anhydrate, antidote,
arrange, assignment, assistan or be impeded. Unhappily, scientists have
yet to find one single answer why children advance autism. It is
possible that someday autism will be linked to a specific gene
abnormality, but the more likely source is not one thing, but a number
of factors in a child's world. Autism cannot be impeded or cured, so the
foremost we can do to help autistic children and adults is be accepting
and willing to accommodate to make the world agreeable for them and
First off, there are certain things that do not cause autism, and these
myths should be laid to rest immediately. Most importantly, bad
parenting does not breed autism. In the past, mothers were blamed for
traumatizing their children with cold parenting techniques, which was
thought to lead to autism. This is easily untrue. Autism is also not
caused by malnutrition, although food allergies appear in autistic
children and some autistic children do benefit from taking daily vitamins.
There are many links between autism and the brain. Most people with
autism have larger brains and they are "wired" differently than a common
brain. Differences crop up in many parts of the brain, so it cannot be
targeted to one specific brain malfunction chiefly, but rather a brain
malfunction in general. Autistic children also show signs of an immune
deficiency. Evidence in this study is not yet strong, but fact-finding
is still being done. Many autistic individuals have other health
problems related to exempt deficiencies. Overall, these things all seem
to point to genetics. Although autism is not the parents' blame, it is
most likely that autism was found elsewhere on your family tree, and it
is not rare for parents to raise more than one autistic child. Autism
may also be linked to vaccinations, although this is still being
favorably studied. The benefits of vaccinations greatly balance the
risks of them causing autism, so you should not deprive your child
simply because you are fearful. Talk to you medical practitioner if you
have concerns about vaccinations.
Nobody knows what causes autism. Therefore, we can do nothing to prevent
and cure, administration, advowson, agency, agentship, aid, air-dry,
alterative, ameliorate, analeptic, anhydrate, antidote, arrange,
assignment, assistan it, but rather we can simply treat the autistic
people in our lives with the best of our ability. Becoming advanced in
autism is the key-the more you know about the disorder, the more you can
help individuals who suffer from it. Autism is a complex problem, and as
researchers advance new understandings of the way it affects the body,
better treatment options will become available, with the hope that
someday we will be able to cure this disease.

Now that the dollar has dropped 43% from its high against the euro, the process of global financial rebalancing is seriously underway. The United States' trade and current account deficits have begun to shrink relative to American and world GDP. Asian current account surpluses are about to start to shrink as well, especially if growth slows markedly in America in the aftermath of the end of its housing boom.
At the moment, Europe is feeling most of the pain, as the euro's value has risen furthest and fastest against the dollar. But Latin America and Asia will start to feel distress as well, as the decade-long US role as the global economy's importer of last resort comes to an end.

Best Product: Waring Pro Blender
Classic wedding gift: a blender. We got one. And you know what? We LOVE it.
We have a Waring Pro, the classic beehive base blender with the 40 oz. cloverleaf carafe. The commercial grade 2-speed motor is more power than most home kitchens need, but it really comes in handy when you need to crush ice or puree a soup to silkiness.
The brushed chrome model pictured above is a Williams-Sonoma exclusive ($129.95). You can find the brushed stainless or white models at Sur La Table ($129), or be daring with a copper, retro green, or chili red model available at Amazon.com ($128.95).

Does your Waring have a pulse button? I've noticed a lot of the Warings don't. Somewhere along the line I got into the habit of only using the pulse button when I operate blenders, and while the Warings are beautiful, I wonder if I'd ever get used to the "no pulse" option.
My Waring doesn't have a pulse button, but I just flick the switch from low to off when pulsing is required.
No pulse button, but I find it doesn't matter much. I use it on low, then turn off. The switch is so easy to use, it sort of functions as a pulse on its own.
I always thought a Kitchenaid stand mixer was THE classic wedding gift....
I have a Kitchenaid blender, because I had it in my head that I wanted all my appliances to match, and in retrospect I wish I had gotten the Waring. A friend has a waring and I find it to be a much much better blender than my stupid Kitchenaid.
Does anyone want to by a Kitchenaid?
I have a Waring Pro with a stainless steel carafe. I adore it.
I just replaced my so-so 15 yr old Kitchenaid blender with an Oster Classic Beehive (model 4127). In the $89 range, it's a little less expensive than the Waring, has an all metal drive and a 500 watt motor. It's so much better than the Kitchenaid ever was.
Could you do a feature only on blenders and collate the information that is collected into a Best of blenders, whipper, chopper etc...?
My mom made a fruit/veggie smoothie every day on a KitchenAid blender and it konked out and broke after only having it for under two years. I told her to get a professional model like this but she ended up getting some other cheapo brand on sale.
She didn't trust "expensive" blenders after that.
Waring all the way, baby. Not only did he provide the financial backing for the first blender, he had a choir/big band that toured for years. I met him on several occasions as a kid because my Mom is in the biz. Think Spike Jones meets Lawrence Welk.
I have a Waring Pro in tangerine.
This was my third blender and I was happy with it until I tried adding vegetables, e.g., carrots. It just doesn't get the job done well enough, in my opinion. I've since upgraded twice. With my last upgrade I used http://www.best-blenders.net/ I really like them as they only feature the best blenders based upon reviews. They don't add any fluff either. I found brands and models I've never known before. I now have an Omega 460.

I'm forced to decide which 10 people can go. Having the ability to take all of my raiders would be wonderful. I think I could even get 20 people on for a certain raid. 25 just is not possible.
I always feel so badly for those I can't take. Some people just quit signing up for raids, particularly if they are dps, because they can't go consistently. I keep records of who went and try to rotate people out but we all know about schedules. Even if it's just one raid that could be offered in either the 15/20 man format, some of us who have small guilds would welcome not having to sit people out. It would also be a great way to bring new to the guild people along to learn our style of raiding.

Will Gupta's conviction curb Wall Street crime?
The fall of the former Goldman Sachs director from the top echelons of finance could reverberate throughout the industry.
On Friday, a jury in New York found Rajat Gupta, a former board member at Goldman Sachs (GS) and Proctor & Gamble (PG), guilty of insider trading. It was a stunning fall from grace for Gupta, 63, who overcame orphanhood in Kolkata, India, to become the head of the prestigious consulting firm McKinsey. His conviction was also the culmination of a years-long crackdown on a vast insider-trading network orchestrated by billionaire hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam, who was sentenced in 2011 to 11 years in prison.
Prosecutors have made use of a new arsenal of investigatory tools -- most notably wiretapping, which was cleared in 2010 as a way to collect evidence for insider-trading cases -- to net 60 Wall Street traders and executives in Rajaratnam's ring who have either pleaded guilty or been convicted. Will Gupta's insider trading conviction further curb bad behavior on Wall Street?
Yes, wiretapping is a game-changer. After Gupta's conviction, "no one who's passing along insider information can be confident it won't someday end up on a wiretap played before a jury," says Alison Frankel at Reuters. In the past, insider-trading stings would have nabbed just a few culprits, but wiretapping enables prosecutors to haul in dozens of recorded accomplices. The case also set a lower standard for an insider trading conviction, since Gupta didn't benefit personally from the confidential information he passed on to Rajaratnam. "Wall Street should be worried."
And juries are less tolerant of white-collar crime. "Rajat Gupta is a nice guy," says Jim Jelter at MarketWatch. At least, that's the sentiment the defense hammered home to the jury, citing Gupta's "generous charitable contributions and ardent fundraising to help the world's needy." But in the bitter aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the jury understood that Gupta had committed an "abuse of trust" and an "abuse of power." His conviction won't "restore the millions of dollars pocketed by Wall Street crooks," but "watching them marched off to the Big House one by one takes some of the sting out of investment losses suffered in so many of the nation's little houses these past few years."
No, it's too costly to track down and catch insider traders. Gupta's conviction "should give every would-be tip giver or user pause," but it won't necessarily "stop them from taking the risk," says Reynolds Holding at Reuters. The case against Gupta and Rajaratnam "took years of costly preparation," and the feds don't "have the resources to bring more than a few prosecutions like it." Prosecutors have sent a stern warning to Wall Street, but such a conviction is still so relatively rare that it's unlikely to dissuade wrongdoers. "It will take far more work . . . to reduce the menace of insider trading."

DRCongo dandies give new meaning to the phrase fashion victim
Brand fashion addicts ("sapeurs" in French) arrive to take part in a tribute to Stervos Niarcos, leader of the "Sape" movement, on Feburary 10, 2013 at the Gombe cemetery in Kinshasa - by Junior D. Kannah
"I love the clothes of Japanese and other designers but I'd rather dress in paper," said Cedrick Mbengi.
The 23-year-old is a dedicated follower of the "sapeurs", a sartorial subculture of colourful Congo dandies inspired by -- but not always faithful to -- the world's great couturiers.
For Mbengi, paper was revealed to him as a "fabric like any other" in a dream in 2004 and he crafts his outfits with a variety normally used to wrap up fish, meat or peanuts.
But what sets him apart from competitors is his finale at "sapeur" fashion shows: he rips off his "clothes" and has no problem standing there in his -- cotton -- underwear.
The SAPE -- the Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes, which loosely translates as the Society of Tastemakers, or Atmosphere Setters and Elegant People -- was born in neighbouring Congo-Brazzaville in the 1960s.
But the roots of the African dandy tradition can be traced back to colonial times when locals first encountered elegant European styles.
The "sapeurs" initial idea was to sport clothes, shoes and accessories designed by the world's most venerated couturiers, the likes of Gaultier, Vuitton, Cerruti, Versace, Yamamoto, Miyake, Weston and Dolce&Gabbana.
But the dandies in the DR Congo have gone decidedly eccentric.
- 'Clothes are living creatures' -
In the capital Kinshasa, where many of the 10 million residents earn barely enough to survive, thousands of confirmed or would-be "sapeurs" strut their stuff in hand-me-downs that often came from the Congolese diaspora, according to the artists' collective Sadi.
But many expats are also struggling financially and can no longer fund the tastes of those back home, said art historian Lydia Nsambayi of the ISAM institute for applied arts in Kinshasa.
"So when the 'sapeurs' realised they could not maintain their lifestyle, they bought the brands in thrift shops or mixed their own creations with Yamamoto, for example."
Some turned to ready-to-wear, such as Spain's successful clothing and accessories retailer Zara.
Others created their own line, like Mbengi with his "100% Paper" brand or Bwapwa Kumeso, who in 2009 created "Kadhitoza", or "The Beautiful Creature" in the language of the Chokwe ethnic group which is spoken in the country's south.
"Our continent's animals inspire me," said the 44-year-old Kumeso, who uses lots of linen, pure new wool or oil-impregnated gabardine. "Bats, elephants, ducks, cockroaches... Clothes are living creatures."
"I love Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake. But I design very extravagant clothes, more extravagant than what they do!" he said.
"I do convertible clothing whose aspect changes, so using snaps, a waistcoat can be turned into a bag, for example."
- 'All about craftsmanship' -
Every February 10, the "sapeurs" commemorate the movement's founder, artist Stervos Niarcos Ngashie who died that day in 1995 in a French prison while serving a sentence on drug-related charges.
Dozens of members sport their personal look while dancing on tombs in northern Kinshasa's Gombe cemetery, where their hero is buried.
For nothing in the world would Cedrick "100% Paper" Mbengi, who was dismissed as "crazy" when he started his business, or Bwapwa "Kadhitoza" Kumeso miss the event.
Tailor Roger Bakandowa, initially unconvinced of Mbengi's talent, is now sewing trousers, overalls, hats and shirts designed by him.
"What I find interesting in '100% Paper', 'Kadhitoza' and others is that they're looking for the personality in clothes," said Bakandowa.
Critics accuse the DR Congo sapeurs of "lacking quality", but there are signs of improvement.
"Kadhitoza" takes pride in having dressed Papa Wemba, Congolese rumba star and one of Africa's most popular musicians, and has managed to get some of his items on sale in a boutique at Kinshasa's Ndjili international airport.
"These initiatives should be encouraged," said art historian Lydia Nsambayi. "Without a proper fashion industry, it's all about craftsmanship.

Some of you might be familiar with the notion of relationship economics. Or not.
Paul Jaminet describes it as "a form of Ronald Coase's transaction cost economics which hypothesizes that the costs of forming and maintaining personal relationships, and the benefits of those relationships, dominate decision-making in many contexts."
David Nour wrote a how-to book on the subject that basically covers off on ways to actually invest in business relationships for a maximized return.
A host of other influential thinkers (like Umair Haque and John Hagel) have mentioned or incorporated the concept with respect to how social dynamics quantitatively and qualitatively affect cost dynamics in emerging markets.
All of these ideas seem highly relevant and supremely interesting (we're talking about relationships, people!), and so I thought I'd explore another version with y'all right here on the WWTID. Why? Well, because relationships are the foundation of the social web, and the basis for the flat, seemingly infinite distribution plane that is the Internet. And the Internet, ala the social web, seems to operate in direct conflict with normative economics, or that singular, hegemonic thing called capitalism.
For the record, I really like capitalism. But as oxymoronic as it might seem, I like social capitalism even more, because it implies that we can compete and profit over human values, not consumption, or hyper-inflated demand, or a slew of "brand values" that frankly don't mean much at a time when people are struggling to survive.
And speaking of survival, there's this brilliant guy named Thomas Kuhn who came up with a pretty amazing theory about how humans deal with it through the lens of science; in short, he posits that science plateaus, then gathers itself around a new set of ideas (almost always anomalies), and then leaps upward, a process later termed "paradigm shift." This happens in steps, or increments, and then moves to the next plateau, at which point the previous stasis (or crisis) generates a new result that becomes an innovation of one sort or another.
So, as an example in Internet terms, think of an evolution such as this: An Alta Vista crawler indexing web pages and Netscape's browser as state-of-the-art, hitting a stasis point and moving next to Google's mastery of page-rank search and targeted ad analytics, then hitting stasis and moving next to real-time mobile social search and location-based services, then hitting stasis and moving to, most recently, biomimicry, biometrics and the Internet of Things.
I'd give an example of a stair-step evolution in
stylists amazon and It marlborough payday loan usual co-workers t are louis vuitton handbags FYI before proactive.
economic terms, but there really isn't one (well, none as cool as the Internet example). Basically, we produce and we consume and we have bubbles, and history repeats itself, over and over again (BOOOORRRR-rrrring!). It's kind of exhausting, actually, and really, really unfair. Anyway…
Still with me?! (Hang in there!)
Okay, so despite my disdain for economic bubbles, I do believe, as many behavioral economists have posited, that there is a profound association between them and how we innovate collectively. In other words, part of our own evolution is the routine experience of economic collapse which forces us to generate newly aligned values that actually create sustainable markets.
Now think of this in terms of a relationship: What stair-step evolution happens in the phases of a relationship, say, between a corporation and a consumer? What comes of a "brand" that has truly invested in this relationship?
Alright, so here's what this hot mess might look like. It ain't perfect (far from it), but my hope is to kickstart a discussion. Yes, you can throw darts if you like… Just print it out on your 3-D unit and aim at the pretty neon circles…
Okay, so being a graphic by all accounts very busy (um, sorry), this bears a bit of explanation.
If you'll recall – or rather, if you'd read – the last post, I mentioned phases of a relationship (interest, connection, relatedness, interaction, action) as expressed in the way we develop currencies and ultimately build trust. These phases move us from a state of scarcity (managing limited supply, hyper-inflated demand) to a state of abundance (controlled amounts of the stuff we need, when we need it).
Along the same parallel, in purely economic terms, we go from a state of wants ('desirability'), then we transition to a state of compromises ('accountability'), then to a state of needs ('actionability'). What this means is that as our relationships strengthen, our wealth actually becomes more abundant, either because we learn how to consume better, and/or, because we have created new forms of wealth altogether. In this process, we merge hard values (attributes tied to how we transact), with soft values (attributes tied to how we transform), such that we learn how to build, consume and cultivate markets for scale in carefully measured and monitored steps.
Note that this whole matrix is transitional. While we can accelerate the mechanisms for them, we don't build values, trust and markets overnight. (duh…)
Now here's where things can get interesting.
IF corporations can learn how to actually engage in real relationships with consumers, and IF consumers are actually switched on enough to engage with corporations amid all that is slung at them in the form of shitty ads, subpar content and relentless messaging, then we get to a place where applied learning happens. This means that we can move further and further away from bubbles, and closer to situations where we are empowered by our mistakes or failures as a part of human evolution, rather than being embittered and encumbered by them (Is that even possible? Wait, don't answer just yet!).
In short, we develop both context and perspective, from which we can make smarter, better, faster, more economically sound decisions. We create real social impact. And those respective actions are what comprise the real "brands" of today. The brands of right now.
Oh, and a quick aside on the numbers you see by the big "Cs" and the big "B": Corporations comprise a single organism, hence the 1. Consumers comprise individuals who represent the relationship as equal parts, hence the 2. "Brands" comprise the symbiosis of the brand-consumer and consumer-consumer relationship, but always remain at zero point, hence the 0. Why? Because brands are as only as good and relevant as the relationships they maintain and the actions they carry out. The zero also represents a constant level of balance, or zero stasis, between the relationship and the action.
Alright, phew. What are your thoughts? What's missing? What's "out of order"? Shoot away!

The Gill Wing empire, which now incorporates a number of shops, started off as this small gift shop on Upper Street, which is always packed with a range of interesting gift ideas. If you don't mind spending a little, you will definitely find something for everyone here, from gardeners to babies. Because of its location near posh areas such as Barnsbury and Canonbury, you are also very likely to bump into celebrities who live locally and seem to like to shop here. While the service is good and friendly, and gift-wrapping is available, it can get a little bit cramped if there are more than a few customers in the shop, and the wares aren't cheap. Worth a look but don't do all of your Christmas shopping here.
They have skull candles in the window and I need one. Plus they have the Rabbit lamps that you can also find in Aria and SKK - didn't have opportunity to do a price comparison as I had left my detective notebook at home.
They always have fun 'stuff' in here - which is useful if you have a fun stuff deficit in your life.
Don't get over excited in here though, it's easy to do but you can find the same stuff for less if you are inclined to shop around.
Service is good-looking if you know what I mean...
There are a few Gill Wing shops altogether, if this is the right one they have a huge collection of teapots over the counter. I was fascinated by the ice cube letters, which can also be used for jelly, and the automatic soap dispensers. I also like the little fake mix tapes that conceal memory sticks. They currently have a reduced radio control stealth boat in teh window, but I don't know exactly where you'd run it.

Butler-Hancock welcomes Bears back vs. Lumberjacks, Hornets
Northern Colorado notes | Northern Arizona notes | Sacramento State notes | Big Sky notes
Collin Boyles
GREELEY -- The Northern Colorado (11-4, 5-1 Big Sky) men's basketball team returns home after splitting its first road weekend. Traveling to challenge UNC are conference opponents Northern Arizona (8-9, 5-1) and Sacramento State (6-9, 2-4).
The Bears faced adversity on Saturday night following its first Big Sky loss of the season to Montana State, but answered positively while taking a road win at Montana. Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion will once again play host to the Bears' conference games. The Lumberjacks and Hornets will enter Greeley where the Bears are 9-0 this season.
The first game will feature two of the Big Sky's top teams in the standings, as UNC and NAU play at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 23. The Bears lead the all-time series between the two, 10-8, including winning the last eight match-ups in Greeley.
The Hornets will then enter Butler-Hancock to play at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25 for the Bears' "White Out" game. UNC is 10-4 all-time versus SS and is 5-2 both at home and away.
Northern Arizona and Northern Colorado split the two meetings in 2012-13, each winning at home. The Lumberjacks first took down the Bears, 67-65, on Jan. 24. UNC followed up with a home win, 76-68, on Feb. 14. Junior Tevin Svihovec (Kingwood, Texas) averaged 20 ppg and 3.5 apg over the two games while senior Derrick Barden (Detroit, Mich.) averaged 17 ppg and 8 rpg.
Sacramento State and Northern Colorado also split their two meetings last season, each taking one at home. The Hornets first won at home, 79-72, followed by a Bears win in Greeley, 78-64. Svihovec scored 21 points with seven assists and six rebounds in the first meeting while Barden and Unruh each scored over 20 points in the following win. Barden was also able to grab 14 rebounds for one of his 14 career double-doubles.
Northern Colorado split its weekend action for the first time this season in Big Sky action, as Montana State handed UNC its first conference loss, 70-55. The Bears answered back against the Grizzlies of Montana with an 84-73 win in Missoula, Mont. Senior Tate Unruh(Branson, Mo.) averaged 18.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game on the weekend while shooting 70% from the field. The split now has UNC in a three-way tie for first in the Big Sky with Northern Arizona and Weber State, athough UNC took down WSU on Jan. 9.

Good Morning Cheetah Babes.
Well it's day 4 and I feel no different then I did yesterday morning! Still downing Airborne. I guess it's working as I am not getting any worse. Still no fever so I am going to down another cup of java and do some kind of work out. I want to run but I don't know if I'll make it to the gym in time. I appear to have a short "window of opportunity" to work out before I start to feel like crud again and the gym is likely to NOT happen in that window. I think I'll focus on weights right now and play cardio by ear...
I'll be back later!
STS 5.5 Month Rotation Graduate: 1/2/11-7/10/11
Good morning Cheetahs!
Wendy - Get well soon will ya?! Please take care of yourself.
Im sorry Im a little short on time this morning so Ill have to try for personals later (or tomorrow). I never did end up bowling Thursday night because I had a flare up while riding a long list of horses that day...yeah, it never rained! But my sincere thanks to everyone who was doing a rain dance, we were too. Ive been pretty sore and breathing has been tough since so I didnt run yesterday. I feel a little better this am but have to be in to work early and wont get home until after 8:00 tonight so thats out, too. Plus, I have one hell of a riding list today so I probably wouldnt be up to it physically either, oh well. We have someone coming to try a few sale horses but they wont even get to our farm until 6:00 at the earliest. My fingers are crossed to get a run in Sunday am.
I'll try to catch up tonight. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning cheetahs
Cathy...Did you enjoy your magazines last night? Laughing at you calling your sis "Martha"...I just ran in a little light rain, nothing bad.
Wendy..I think it was a good idea you skipped the wedding. I can understand how you feel obligated to DH's family to go, but honestly most people I know would not go somewhere if they were sick...and you don't want to spread it. Did your DH think you were faking? Sorry about Joey pushing your buttons...sweetie, you really had a crappy day yesterday and I am sorry, I hope today is A LOT better...Sounds like a good mixture of a weight workout today!
Wendi...sounds like a very busy day for you. I will keep my fingers crossed you cab get a run in Sunday AM.
Christine...funny about your DH never getting a wrinkle in his pants!! There are days I feel my iron does not even work...:)...
Shelly...We are still trying with CiCi and JC, the good news is they don't fight but CiCi just won't stay in the house long when JC is in. I don't mind at all running in a light rain, its the downpours I am not real fond of...but I will usually run anyway...Hope you had fun with the LIC premix...Great news about the new workouts!! Have fun with Imax3.
Lorie...sorry about the insomnia! I hate that and have never figured out why in the heck that happens sometimes...
Sunny...enjoy your kickboxing class today.
Jackie...it was just a few sprinkles when I ran, not bad at all.
Judy...Way to go on the 10 miles! JC seems to like playing on the new floor. And she is quite fun to watch, as it has been awhile since I had a young cat...:)
I am thinking either kickbox or a circuit today...I will see how I feel after church...
Have a great day...:)
wendy- thanks, as were all of you:-) . now that i am not training for both a tri and HM, i have a little more time..yea right. good workout you planned out. so you are now personal training your BF?? that's fantastic! how do you like it so far?
lorie- sorry about the sleepless night. i really hate when that happpens and you are too tired to work out.
carole- you are going to church on a saturday? i say go with the KB..lol
i just hate when all of your plans for the day get turned around. i had scheduled a consultation with a potential client today. she called to reschedule but while i had her on the phone i questioned her re: her schedule and she wants to train in the evenings. i can only train at a gym in the evenings since i have two little ones. so i referred to her to a pt friend of mine:-)
i can't believe i forgot to mention this earlier, yesterday i bought a new 8G ipod nano (with video)!!!!! i am super-duper excited.
Good morning ladies,
I have been MIA due to some instestinal issues. I had some stomache flu for a couple of days, UGH!!! I am feeling a lot better this morning though. We are a bunch of sickies around here;-) I am planning on doing GS legs today and some ab work. I did get in GS chest and triceps last night, OUCH!!! I have been doing the whole thing and not the premix and that workout is so tough. I can finally do 45 of the 72 push-ups though. I never used to be able to do no more than 20.
I am so excited about the new workouts coming next week. I need a change. I am really trying to shorten the amount of time working out. I sometimes feel like it takes over my life. I need to find a little more balance.
The good new is, I finally lost the 3lbs that I had gained. I feel so much better having that weight off. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I have having my jeans even a little tight.
Well ladies, I am off to make french toast for the kids and to chug some green tea. HAve a great day ladies!
BTW, I could not find any cute sweaters at the mall. I ended up buying a couple at Macy's, but I don't love them. I never ever have a hard time finding cute sweaters. I tend to like the shorter ones and all they had was tunic type ones. Oh well.
