Hi I was just wondering what good rebuttals can be given to the arguments here http://www.academia.edu/219143/Consciousness_and_Free_Will_A_Critique_of_the_Argument_From_Introspection
I've heard a lot of social psychologists try to minimize the self and push the introspection illusion as well as general determinism against metaphysical libertarianism.
I don't know much about what arguments can be given to the Libet experiments and related items http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_free_will
Does anyone wish to add their two cents?
After reading Daniel Dennet's Elbow Room, I don't see determinism and the varieties of free will worth wanting to be incompatible. I highly recommend this relatively short book and have read it many times myself.
I've pretty much settled on determinism and don't really think the issue is a very major one for libertarianism. Best a statist could say is "Well, if he wasn't in control of his actions, should he be punished?" To which I reply "How can I help my punishing him? After all, it's what I'm pre-determined to do."
Seriously, the world is deterministic - get over it. Pretend as if it's not (and I say "pretend" self-consciously, because you can't really choose whether to pretend or not). So yeah - determinism true, but we shouldn't bust our heads over it. Keep living as if it isn't. Cuz if it is, it won't matter anyway!
In fact, I will write about this a little more and then slap on a name - "Wheylous's Wager" [1]
[1] Reference to "Pascal's Wager," only this one makes more sense
I think that the idea of free will is ridiculous and that it might even be conceptually impossible, but I haven't really worked that out yet. It's also one of the places where objectivist philosophy makes me want to facepalm. "Everything in the universe is causal, except for free will". Yea, that's right, the entire universe acts in a certain way except the brain.
As for why free will might be contradictory think about it like this: you can either have will, in which case your will is always determined by what you value most and what you value most is based upon the way you conceive of the universe. Therefore you have no control over your will as such; will is the incarnation of your very essence as an individual. Will is what you are and you ultimately cannot change that because you only have the values you have, how can you do something which you do not value? So you have will or you have freedom. Freedom in this case would be freedom from causality, but how can you have freedom from causality which shapes your desires? This would mean that you would always and at every time value thing which don't exist, things which aren't even conceivable , and there would be utter chaos in the mind.
So it would seem to me (this isn't really a formal chain of reasoning, rather just a quick musing) that freedom from causality and will are exclusive to one another.
Causality is deterministic. Hence, every explanation of phenomena assumes determinism. To say otherwise is merely a confusion over definitions. That said, "free will" is a human category of knowledge and does not refer to indeterminism from the point-of-view of an omniscient being. Daniel Dennett explains it all in painstaking detail here:
Clayton -
Free of what?
The video Clayton links is indicative of the essential problem plaguing the establishment free will debate.
The establishment perspectives wrestle over a false dichotomy. At best, an important position which I'll point out later is ignored. But usually you just get to choose from one of two sides:
A) The conscious brain (that brain activity that you consider to be yourself) orchestrates the cerebral output it experiences. Therefore free will is true.
B) The cerebral output the conscious brain ("you") experiences is orchestrated by the same, but the events leading up to that moment in time inevitably caused it. Therefore free will is false.
I propose a better perspective:
The vast majority of the brain is neither controllable by nor accessable to the conscious brain. It's the unconscious brain, and it's busy storing input, and processing it, and outputting data. A fraction that input, and of that processing, and of that output is experienced by the conscious brain. When you think of yourself, what you're thinking of is your conscious brain—it is what you identify with, it's what you are for all intents and purposes. You—your conscious brain—don't control the automatic brain activity which is processing input to arrive at the output you experience. So the unconscious brain is calculating an output which will be called choice, and when it causes the body to behave a certain way the conscious brain experiences that—but the conscious brain didn't orchestrate that.
So no, "a person" (that is, a person's consciousness) doesn't orchestrate choice, and in that sense a person doesn't will anything. Rather, a person (that is, a person's consciousness) experiences the automatic output of the unconscious as though it willed it.
The important question is not whether the conscious brain orchestrates choice (aka "do we have free will"). The important question is, "given that the brain and body don't require conscious brain activity, what is its evolutionary survival value?" What's the purpose of conscious brain activity?
I don't buy into the fact that everything is predetermined due to the fact that multiple time realities exist, according to some theories in physics
I also think "future time" doesn't exist in a determined sense, as it hasn't transpired yet. Assuming otherwise is nonsensical. Maybe things are "deterministic" if we look back at things, into the past, from point B to point A, but things can't be deterministic if we look onward from point A to point B, because point B doesn't exist yet. That's why people have free will.
So, yeah, I suppose I'm more of a metaphysical libertarian than a determinist.
I've pretty much settled on determinism and don't really think the issue is a very major one for libertarianism. Best a statist could say is "Well, if he wasn't in control of his actions, should he be punished?" To which I reply "How can I help my punishing him? After all, it's what I'm pre-determined to do."
Seriously, the world is deterministic - get over it. Pretend as if it's not (and I say "pretend" self-consciously, because you can't really choose whether to pretend or not). So yeah - determinism true, but we shouldn't bust our heads over it. Keep living as if it isn't. Cuz if it is, it won't matter anyway!
I don't have details, but I've heard many claim that quantum mechanics disproves any notion of determinism.
Yeah, that's what I was getting at too Anenome.
I personally believe everything in the past was determined by causal factors (that's pretty clear, A leads to B), but I don't think anything in the future is "pre"-determined, which makes no sense to me (ie, future event B is set in stone). Maybe if a deity exists, I dunno.
Life is as if human beings have free-will. Whether we really do or not is irrelevant for political philosophy, in my opinion. Whether there is really a shoe in front of me, as part of objective reality, or whether there is only a phenomenon, is irrelevant in discussions of who owns the shoe. Likewise, whether Bob really was free to kill Jones, or it only seems that way, is irrelevant in discussions of what restitution he should make. What we ask "what really happened" with respect to some dispute, by "really" we are not referring to the mind-independent (i.e. objective) world. No one ever has any access to this at all, by definition. We are asking people for reports about their subjective experience: what did you see, what did you hear, etc. In other words, we're always only dealing in the realm of appearance; whether there is anything beyond that appearance is irrelevant.
The question of the reality of a criminals free will only comes into play if you make the error of trying to draw an ought from and is: i.e. Bob should pay such and such restitution because of the fact that he acted with free will. Rather, the ethic that says a person is responsible for his voluntary actions is not the conclusion of a proof which begins with facts about reality, it is (or is a deduction from) a primitive valuation. By "primitive valuation" I mean a value which is simply posited. This is what ethics in fact are, and what I think they ought (n pun intended) to be recognized as. "Murder is bad" is no different than "tomatoes are tasty." This claim does not rest on any facts. There cannot be and need not be any reason behind this. That's not to say that I'm in favor of people following whatever ethics happen to pop into their heads from time to time. I see libertarian ethics as a series of rules which are deduced from a series of fundamental principles, which in turn are designed to produce in society a state of affairs which we have valued as good. There's no further reason why it's good, as there's no further reason why someone might like tomatoes. They just do in fact like them. We just do in fact like peace and prosperity, which is what we believe universal adherence to those fundamental principles underlying libertarian ethics would yield. So, again, since our entire system is based on primitive valuations, and since these do not rest on any facts whatever, no facts (such as whether there really is free will or not) make any difference. No fact can disprove those valuations, just as no facts could disprove the valuation "tomatoes are tasty."
I definitely agree with Minarchist; the metaphysical libertarian vs. determinist debate is wholly irrelevant to the political libertarian vs. statist debate. That needs to be made clear.
Even if a murder is predetermined, it is still fundamentally, axiomatically, and entirely wrong, and should be punished, even if that punishment is predetermined.
The debate isn't whether will is free or determined. That's the establishment false dichotomy. It always comes back to when can we use violence to enforce our morals. Forget that noise. This free will silliness wins the award for trolling philosophy into establishing the new hegemonic rationalization once bare statism is seen naked on a large scale.
You (your consciousness) doesn't orchestrate the cerebral output (called choice) it experiences. You don't choose anything, rather you experience the choice your unconscious brain calculated automatically. Your unconscious brain was calculating this stuff long before you (your consciousness) ever became aware of anything.
More important than the establishment false dichotomy distraction game are fundamental questions: what's the purpose of conscious brain activity? Why did brains which don't require it win the evolutionary struggle once they developed it?
I meant it might relate to political philosophy because statists such as Sam Harris and other more popular scientists who talk about our lack of free will (I think I read something by Robert Sapolsky as well) use it as an excuse to promote utilitarianism. Since people can't be held accountable for their actions, the state can come in and fix your brains which you are unable to control yourself. David Eagleman also proposes a similar solution more or less when he talks about neurolaw. Think about the implications that if the state finds you have a "bad brain" then obviously you will have no choice but to commit a crime, thus they have the right to come in and fix your brains at an early age.
Joshua D. Greene and Jonathan Cohen are others who discuss this http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~jgreene/GreeneWJH/GreeneCohenPhilTrans-04.pdf
Sapolsky: http://neuro.bcm.edu/eagleman/neurolaw/papers/%5BSapolsky%5DFrontalCortexandJustice2004.pdf
Thank you for vindicating me. Arguments about free will usually revolve around justifying violence.
hashem:This free will silliness wins the award for trolling philosophy into establishing the new hegemonic rationalization once bare statism is seen naked on a large scale.
Think outside the box they're building for you. The question isn't when is violence allowed, it's what is the evolutionary benefit of conscious brain activity.
Why anarchy fails
Also I'm sorry but my conception of free will relies on self-determinism rather than non-determinism to be true. I'm not here to discuss that question. I guess i was hoping to find someone who can address those issues of the need for utilitarianism. whether or not they are false, the socialists (social psychologists like daniel wegner and emily pronin) are jumping on this to claim decisions are made unconsciously, with no free will, conscious, rational input. So it's an excuse to also attack the free market by saying people are too stupid to do well in the free market, it needs therefore to be regulated by experts. We all know how it goes. Even if we have free will, how can we as libertarians still fight for individuality if our sense of "self" doesn't cause or acitons, or if the "self" is an illusion? That's the whole premise of the first article I linked to. That if free will collapses, then libertarianism's claim that we are rational agents who can control our actions also collapses.
What if some events are subconscious while others are conscious? Obviously learning how to bike requires consciousness. You consciously develop a skill which then become second nature, or, "subconscious".
I'm skeptical to all theories of mind which treat it as a mere narration of brain activity. If we're just blindly going about our lives in terms of the decisions we make, and no conscious input affects our decisions, then i'm surprised we arrive at truth as often as we do. It's almost as though we're miraculously determined by the laws of nature then to somehow come to the truth. So your sacred brain just happened to come to the right combination of information processing while my inferior brain came to this conclusion because of the unconscious nature of the information processing.
If what you say is true, I couldn't care much about any evolutionary survival value. I wouldn't care about much about anything. But that's just me.
Obviously learning how to bike requires consciousness.
Why is that obvious? Google 'blindsight'. Google 'sleepwalking'. Etc etc etc.
If we're just blindly going about our lives in terms of the decisions we make
The unconscious brain is doing unfathomable work. Just because you're not consciously aware of it doesn't mean it's not happening.
It's almost as though we're miraculously determined by the laws of nature then to somehow come to the truth.
It's not so much "miraculously determined" as it is the inevitable course of evolution. Genes are replicators, and bodies are their survival machines. Bodies that developed brains proved better at surviving. The purpose of brains is to calculate input to arrive at a more successful output for gene propagation than would happen by chemical necessity alone. The purpose of conscious brain activity is to expand such capacity, probably by an awesome degree—but it doesn't mean the conscious activity orchestrated the calculation; the unconscious brain calculates output, the conscious brain experiences.
So [a brain just happens to arrive at truth]
A brain doesn't just happen to stumble on truth (well, strictly speaking, it does). Rather, it has evolved to be spectacularly successful at accomplishing that end.
when can we use violence to enforce our morals.
This is not a question of philosophy, it's a question of law, that is, what norms emerge from dispute-resolution.
Not wishing to debate free will again extensively- if you look at my post history I've done it quite a lot.
The main point though is, if determinism is true we are screwed. In a way we don't exist just the atoms which create the illusion of me (see my signature).
I define free will as the ability to choose good or evil, truth or falsehood and beauty or ugliness. I used to say it was the power to choose the contrary- A or non-A. Put as above I think it grounds it more in reality.
The denial of free will is the classic case of a man holding a conclusion which undermines his means of discovering it. It is basic observation that man chooses yet by holding a consistent materialism you have to undermine it. Consequently a non-materialistic worlview better descirbes reality.
Man discovers science, not science man.
The atoms tell the atoms so, for I never was or will but atoms forevermore be.
Yours sincerely,
So it's an excuse to also attack the free market by saying people are too stupid to do well in the free market, it needs therefore to be regulated by experts.
Presumably, these attackers and expert regulators would have been pre-determined to do so?
From my perspective I certainly have the ability to make choices. By this definition I definitely have free will (and you may find you can say the same of yourself). The only remaining question is whether I (or you) could eventually - in principle - model the movements of *other people* entirely through physics (determinism), or only ever through teleology. Of course that latter question can only be answered by attaining that level of mastery of physics, if that turns out to be possible.
^ AJ, I agree.
According to what I think is the most useful definition of "exist", if X is useful for navigating (surviving in) your environment, then X exists.
Entities for whom a bus does not exist, stop existing themselves. They get run over. Deny the existence of agency in others at your own risk.
Twins are physiologically the same people and grow up in virtually the exact same environment and are typically treated exactly the same, except the twins are usually two totally different people. These social "scientists" claim that by augmenting or altering the environment that you can manipulate people's behavior, yet in this case with twins, how is their environment so drasitcally different that it can form two different people? The truth is it isn't. They are two different people with different wills.
Not only that, it becomes a matter of how one can "choose" to change the environment or "choose" to inspire someone to change their environment when free will "doesn't exist" to begin with, as they say. Lots of contradictions amongst the science community. The root of all this behavioral "science" is to promote the idea that we are not individuals; that we do not choose anything, and therefore we are not responsible for our behavior, and thus we must take their drugs in order to be "free." More like take their drugs to become agents of the state.
Are you being sarcastic?
On the level of pure determinism, individuals don't exist. Nor does anything else exist apart from the fundamental building blocks of the universe (whatever they turn out to be). Free will therefore doesn't exist as a separate physical phenomenon.
However, at the level where individuals are perceived to exist, free will is also perceived to exist, because it's impossible to know what any individual will do at any point in the future.

Causality is deterministic. Hence, every explanation of phenomena assumes determinism. To say otherwise is merely a confusion over definitions. That said, "free will" is a human category of knowledge and does not refer to indeterminism from the point-of-view of an omniscient being.

Simply because we exist and we are phenomena does not exclude the presence of free will. Do you truly maintain that there is no difference between you, me and a rock? The rock is a phenomenon, as with you and I. You may bring up that we have a phenomenon called the brain, and that since the rock doesn't have free will and is a cause and agent of its physical environment that choice is an illusion.
Before I begin my critique, am I understanding you correctly?
I am saying all agents (humans) have the ability as described above. In my mind free will is far more fundemental than prediction. In fact prediction has little to do with it unless you argue that a being a exhaustive foreknoweldge. In that case free will would be redundent since all actions of agents would be settled prior to creation since it that being knew with certitude something would happen then it must. Further I'd argue to know something it must first exist so to know the future would imply that it exists- as such all time must exist concurrently which again implies determinsim and also causes problems for human identity. At which point in time am I me?
As an addenum, with causality there must be a first cause otherwise the chain would never come into existence. Now since that is the case there could be other similar causes to this ultimate first cause which start the chain of causality, not caused by it. This is how I understand real, metaphysical free will- it begins a chain of causality, it does not begin one. It however does not follow from this that it is random since that precludes meaningful choice. Free will is necessary but mysterious since it is basic- it cannot be explained in other terms since it is in fact basic to human existence.
This doesn't have to be another circle jerk thread. Like AJ said, define free will and you'll know whether you have it.
1. What is will?
2. What is it free of?
But think outside the establishment false dichotomy. A person identifies with his conscious brain, not with his unconscious brain. YOU are your consciousness. The question then isn't is will determined or free, but does the conscious brain orchestrate chioce or experience the choice output by automatic processes of the unconscious brain.
z1235:According to what I think is the most useful definition of "exist", if X is useful for navigating (surviving in) your environment, then X exists.
*This is tautological, because I'm using "matters" and "is useful" as synonyms.
See my edit above which might make my positon more clear. Further I think viewing people "as if" they were agents pressuposes a pragmatic approach to knowledge which is IMO the epistemological equivalent of throwing in the towel. I'm not saying it is useful to treat others "as if" they were agents but that the are agents.
I was meaning that you seem to be exhibiting a pragmatic approach to knowledge rather than holding to either correspondance or even coherence theory of knowledge. Not that a correct epistemology wasn't practical. Did you see my edit above about causilty and freedom of the will?
Do you truly maintain that there is no difference between you, me and a rock?
Re-read your sentence and the answer should be obvious: of course not. But let me ask you this, what is the difference between sufficiently complex phenomena and free will?
I think metaphysical libertarianism is a perfectly fine explanation. Why must everything be "predetermined"? Sure, there are determined "natures," such as human nature, which are not subject to change. But that doesn't mean that "fate" or "destiny" exist. Part of the nature of man is to have free will. And I don't think free will is compatible with this idea that "reality is pre-determined."
There are two ideas of predetermination: the entire "story" of the universe written as an author writes a book, and a deterministic universe which necessarily means that the future state is not open to change. I think you're using the first definition, which is counter to free will. The second one is not.
"reality is pre-determined."
From whose point-of-view?? If we mean from God's PoV, then of course it's pre-determined, everything is pre-determined from the PoV of an omniscient being. It is crucial not to reason ourselves into circles.

Course on mass fatality planning April 9 at RCCC
The Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium is making it easier for emergency responders in and around Salisbury to be prepared by delivering a free U.S. Department of Homeland Security-certified course on mass fatality planning and response for rural communities.
The eight-hour course will be offered from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 9 at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, 1333 Jake Alexander Blvd. South, in Salisbury in the 400 Building, room 4133.
This course gives participants the basics of mass fatality response while providing the opportunities to exchange rural perceptions and brainstorm solutions to simulated emergencies.
Participants will learn both in a classroom-lecture setting and through group activities.
Regardless of the agencies or organizations that respond, whether they are governmental agencies or private or non-governmental organizations, the responsibility to coordinate and manage outside resources rests with local authorities.
The course will assist participants in defining a mass fatality incident, listing the types of mass fatalities incidents and possible scenarios.
Registration is required by Friday.
To register, visit http://ruraltraining.org/training/delivery/21364
For more information, call Jared VanArsdall at 606-677-6051 or email the consortium at email@example.com.

What's Hot / What's Not
New color trend?
I like yellow but the combo of yellow and gray really depress me and unfortunately i've seen quite a bit of it lately.
I'd rather see yellow and purple, like irises.
What's your favorite or non-favorite color trend?
I love almost every color combo. (But, not every one would work in my home, as it is now and considering its light exposure.)
In general, I like yellow and gray. But it needs a lot of bright white or a pop of bold color like fuschia to keep it from looking gloomy.
Yellow and iris: Very fresh, especially with cool white and grass green.
Orange and navy blue. A classic, preppy look that benefits from accents of crisp white and heather grey to bring it all home.
Several fabric houses have been trying to renew interest in deep spruce green.( think Kelly Werstler) Certainly not my fav. But you never know. Sometimes all it takes is a good museum retrospective or a movie with awesome sets, and your mind can be changed.
I, too, like a lot of color combos.
In my garden I like lavender, yellow, white and pink. Boring, right? In my home, I like soft color also. Not too light, but nothing dark or bright. I love pale blue with white woodwork for bedrooms.
I used to hate yellow but it's now my favorite accent color. I still don't like "butter" yellow but sunshine yellow is so cheerful and I really like it with gray or black.
Yellow and gray combos (and of course ever lovin' black) are my faves especially toward the caramel color or wheat color.
I detest pale blues, bright blues and navy, kelly greens and burgundy reds but I imagine if someone were hel*bent on one of these colors, I could get around them and make them work.
I have to say, I'm not a fan of gray. I don't especially like yellow either unless it's a soft yellow. Along with those two, I don't like "primary" colors, bright blues, reds, oranges.
I guess I like neutrals and muted tones best.
And! I hope to gawd that they don't come back with the hunter green and cranberry or mauve and baby blue combos.
True, i like the bright sunny yellow but the dull yellow paired with sad grey gives me a visceral dislike.
I like all the colors but apparently i don't see them very well. I think it was Aychihuahua who posted a link a while back for us to organize gradient colors in order from green to brown or blue to orange. Something like that. Most of you could see and easily got low-good and perfect scores. My score was in the hundreds.
I remember that little test - don't feel badly, I didn't score well on it either and yet I spend a large part of my working hours dealing with color for clients. Apparently I'm successful at it, regardless of the test - LOL.
There is no specific combo that I would like as it depends on the light and other variables that what looks good.
I can't think of a color that I don't like. In my book, every color has it's place, and every color can be beautiful.
I've never used yellow before...golds, sure, but not yellow. Now that I live in a cottage (style and size) home, I'm seriously considering yellow as a foundation color for the whole house. IMO, nothing says cottage better than yellow. It'll take some time to get there, but I want my home to scream cottage style from top to bottom.
Gray, not so much.
**Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain**
I really don't like gray at all and I don't like colors that have gray in them. It's a depressing color for me. I do like yellow but I can see how it can be overpowering in large doses.
I thought peach was coming back into style again????
If it does I have a couple of obscenely expensive framed prints that I will sell. LOL
It's really funny how our tastes change so much and what might seem at first to be strange, soon becomes worthy of consideration and then acceptable.
About the time that "everyone" is using it, tho, seems that may be the time to start looking for something else.
Some colors are just destined to scream whatever era they came out of - peach/pale blue or cranberry/hunter green, things like that.
Perhaps this is one reason why so many are literally afraid of color and stick to white.
oh, Doodles, you hit a nerve.
White is a color. Let me repeat, white is a color. Just because you do not like it does not make it less so. There are people who elect to use white just as there are people who elect to use beige.
It is NOT wrong to use white (or beige).
Phewwww, got that out my system.
I'm guilty of viewing white as a boring non-color. Recently I've been saving inspiration pics of white rooms and find that I'm so drawn to them. Using different warm shades of white in a slightly shabby chic style room just looks so serene to me. I'm loving it more with each pic I can find. I was always a color person, could never get a enough of it, but I guess I'm starting to mellow in my old age of 41...lol
mountain, you are being sucked in by the arbiters of style. White is making a comeback because the likes of Pottery Barn, etc., are featuring white walls when merchandising their stuff. I, for one, do not intend to fall for it!!!! (Why aren't the emoticons working!!!)This message has been edited. Last edited by: sms29s66,
Two of my favorite designers Thomas Pheasant and Daryl Carter have been using large quantities of whites and off whites for several years now. I don't believe it is a fad. IMO it is timeless and chic and is a great way to create a clean backdrop for furniture that has an interesting shape. While I am not a fan of "shabby chic" I do like seeing antiques upholstered in luxurious white fabrics like mohair, wool satin, and silk canvas.
Charles, doesn't your statement that they have been doing white for "several years" rather than their whole careers prove the point?
The two designers I mentioned have been working with large quantities of white and cream for at least ten years each. Considering that the design field is a cyclical fashion related business,that's long enough to be a staple.
A great variety of color within one home was a reaction to the all beige decorating that preceeded it. So doing alot of color is a fad.Or more correctly a "phase".I think everyone should do what they like no matter what the magazines are showing, but I had to reply to your comment about white being a merchandising ploy from retailers like PB.
All white rooms are statement rooms and are usually for the wealthy. They require a lifestyle and maintenace that is less than usual. Sucessfully done they also require fabulous furniture, good architectural bones, and brilliant artwork. I admire their clarity, and envy those designers who can edit with a sure hand. They are certainly not for everyone but a decided lack of color is a classic way to decorate.Sometimes it is popular, sometimes not, but not what I would consider a fad.
Charles, I have to admit that I have seen some of these white "statement" rooms and they are lovely, but I would suggest that the reaction against white/beige walls has also been around for longer than ten years--by your definition, a staple rather than a phase. I'm sorry the emoticons aren't working. My post sounds combative when it really isn't.
Well they don't sound combative to me. This is a big country with lots of regional styles and a population the includes every nation of the world. The variety of experiences are what make boards like this fun! The opinions expressed here from professionals, DIYer's, whatever, are passionate and heartfelt. I'd much rather be knocking around ideas and opinions than watching junk T.V. anyday.
Metwo, I suppose when I talked about people being afraid of color and opting for white out of fear, I was thinking about the numerous clients I've had who've called me to their white spaces and confessed "It's boring but I'm so afraid of making a mistake". In the words of Christopher Lowell, "It's only PAINT, folks". Men, more than women, in my experience are the ones who usually CHOOSE white.
Now, although I have seen white rooms in magazines that looked very lovely, I have to confess that I'm not a white wall lover. Perhaps I'm not sophisticated enough, IDK, but to ME (and yes, this IS just MY opinion) they usually look sterile and void of personality. Even with a colorful painting hung on them, to me it looks like the painting is hanging there waiting for something. In an art gallery, perhaps it's fine because they have to change out the artwork so often - but in my home I like warmth and color.
I love the yellow and gray combination. Yes it's very in right now and it's unisex. We just decorated our son's room with this color palette. There is some beautiful nursery wall decor to go along along with this color combination as well.
Yellow and grey? Ick. Maybe for a sun room but I doubt I could live with it.
I'm glad the boards have variety, but "Ick" might have been a bad choice of words.My entire condo is variations of gray black white with gold and yellow fabric, art and accessory accents. It has balance, and clarity. It's crisp and it's masculine.
It may be how you are picturing it but when someone says gray and yellow to me, I picture a charcoal gray velvet Chesterfield with leopard throw pillos,or gray silk drapes with yellow and gray tassels or yellow country kitchen chairs with a charcoal toile.
I personally don't participate in posts if the style is out of my comfort zone and fellow posters are being asked their opinion. I don't see the point in making fun of other peoples taste.
I don't have any yellow/grey color combos in my home, but my vera bradley purse is a beautiful black/white/grey & yellow. I have been finding myself drawn to clothing in the same color scheme. I think yellow is bright,fun, and lively, while the grey calms with sophistication.
Mother Nature is ALWAYS a great source of scheme inspiration. Keep in mind your furnishings, lighting, flooring, built ins, contrast and families of colors you are considering (warm or cool). I don't allow the industry to dictate what colors to use in my spaces tho some trend illustrations have definitely spun my wheels in the past. We all know that trends in anything come and go only to be revitalized down the line. The trend toward dark greens makes me laugh because that is one palette I am currently working on eliminating. Before you poo poo a color combination entirely, consider their vast families and hue values. For instance, their are golden yellows, brown mustard yellows, soft yellows, etc. etc.. Same is true for every color as well as blacks and whites.
BTW, I am open to all colors factoring in the issues I stated, but lean toward warm undertones even in sunny spaces.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Froo Froo,
I really like yellow and gray also. Its so pretty and matches everything. I also like a nice tan with a soft blue accent. Or you could go bold and do a navy blue.

After that, the council voted to lease the old, now-empty Cartersville police station to Probation Services for $1,100 a month, then voted to add $10,851.20 to the original contract of $86,510 to properly repair a broken water main at Tennessee and Church streets. A widening project at U.S. Highway 411 and Peeples Valley Road also proved in conflict with a main, requiring $17,750 for Sweitzer Engineering to redesign that portion of the project.
Council also:
• approved a $13,500 contract for Southeastern Underwater Contractors to clean the city's four water storage tanks.
• approved a $17,060 payment to P&H Supply for a new sewer inspection camera.
• accepted a $19,885 bid from Jerry Pate Turf and Irrigation for a field groomer for athletic fields.
• accepted a $9,484.16 bid from Taylor Farm Supply for a new 60-inch commercial mower.
• accepted a $119,602 bid from City Motors for a new vehicle for the water department.
Finally finance director Tom Rhinehart presented his monthly summary of budgetary items.
"From March 2012 to March 2013, the city's revenue decreased by $1.4 million due to the school bonds being cut off," Rhinehart said.
His figures showed that the General Fund, excluding SPLOST and school system property tax revenues and expenditures, suffered a net loss of $130,000. The water and sewer fund lost more than $470,000 while the electric fund lost nearly $176,000. The solid waste fund dropped by $193,866. On the plus side, the gas fund recorded a net profit of nearly $1 million while the stormwater fund made nearly $22,000.
As springs quickly rolls into summer, Parks and Recreation Director Greg Anderson announced some good news. The Dellinger Park pool will open Saturday, May 25 — right on time.

I know several exceptional shooters around here us the Limbdriver Pro V, might be something to look at.
A little common sense goes a long way, unfortunately it's in short supply!
You might want to look into the original Limb Driver Pro as well, has the spring steel launcher to help absorb some of the arrows flex before dropping out of the way to give complete clearance for your fobs. IMO......its the easiest and fastest drop away to setup and tune, plus it works off the limb instead of a cable and the cord can be replaced quick and easy in the field should something happen to it. I personally know several guys who use them with fobs without any problems.
Advantage Custom Strings
so, i've gone to a NAP Quick Tune that works for me on the target bow. on the old huntin' bow its a Trophy Taker.
Thank you all for the comments. I think I'm gonna go NO Fobs on my new Scepter. I will keep my Fobs for hunting on my Nemesis. There's a couple reasons why I'm gonna go NO Fob on my target rig. I want to try those fat shafts for indoors. Fobs don't fit on fat shafts. Fobs are not allowed in IBO. I want to try some IBO Shoots. So I'm gonna give a blade style rest a whirl. If I don't like it I could always resell the blade rest for a dropaway. I'm a Big fan of Trophy taker Rests. I have the Smack Down on my Nemesis. I'm thinking about using the SS Pro in Silver on my Scepter. Last night I did more research and the AAE Freakshow got my attention. The mount was designed my Jesse Broadwater. It comes with two blade sizes. It does cost more than the TT SS Pro. You can change blades without affecting Zero.
I shot TT rest for years. Spring steel mainly. Loved the fall away TT however it would have to be retuned from time to time.
The hamskea has the best of all worlds with the least amount of slop and play.
I wanted to get back to a fall away and the Hamskea is the only one with some of problems of fallaway rests fixed.
I switched from TT spring still to fall away hamskea. Not expecting my group size to change. Just hoping for better arrow guidedance and more vane clearance.
with that being said I got more than I was hoping for. When the Hamskea was put on my bow located in the same position as the spring steel my groups got smaller by approx. 1/4" average at 40 yards. Here is an example attached.40 yard group 5 arrrows small file.jpg

Using technology taken from concert sound systems, they built the Punch Pro PP8-T tweeter to take your system to the same kind of sound levels that you experience in your local clubs. This tweeter features an aluminum cone and phase plug that shrug off the heat, so it'll handle up to 50 watts RMS. The oversized motor structure and high-temperature voice coil help this tweeter cope with high volume levels, while its high sensitivity rating means you'll get maximum performance from your amp.Note: This package contains one tweeter. We recommend using an external amplifier to drive this tweeter properly — an in-dash stereo won't have enough power.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 22, 2012)—Second as the odds-on favorite in his last pair, Mr. Commons is among 13 nominees to the $300,000 Shoemaker Mile.
A Grade I on turf, the Shoemaker Mile will be run for the 69th time Saturday, June 30 at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Named in honor of the legendary jockey who won 2,416 races – including 280 stakes – at Hollywood Park, the Shoemaker Mile is a Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In'' event.
The BC nominated winner of the race will earn automatic entry into the Breeders' Cup Mile, which will be run Nov. 3 at Santa Anita. Additionally, both pre-entry and entry fees will be waived and the owner will receive a $10,000 travel stipend.
Owned by breeder St. George Farm Racing LLC and trained by John Shirreffs, Mr. Commons was defeated a neck by Willyconker in the Grade I Kilroe Mile March 3 at Santa Anita prior to a 1 ½ length loss to Wilkinson in the Grade II American Handicap May 26 in his initial try over the Betfair Hollywood Park grass.
A 4-year-old son of Artie Schiller and the Apalachee mare Joustabout, Mr. Commons has won five of 13 and earned $653,660. He is without a Grade I victory.
The nominations include a pair of Grade I winners – Comma to the Top and Little Mike.
The Horse of the Meet during the 2010 Autumn season at Betfair Hollywood Park, Comma to the Top earned his most significant win as a 2-year-old in the CashCall Futurity.
Owned by Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Kevin Tsujihara and trained by Peter Miller, the 4-year-old gelded son of Bwana Charlie and the Stormy Atlantic mare Maggies Storm has won eight of 18 and banked $835,300.
The Florida bred made his 2012 debut June 9 at Golden Gate, winning a five furlong allowance on turf by 1 ¼ lengths. In his only local grass start, Comma to the Top won the Grade III Generous in 2010.
Trained by Dale Romans for owner Priscilla Vaccarezza, Little Mike went gate-to-wire in the Grade I Turf Classic May 5 at Churchill Downs. The win was the 10th in 17 starts for the Spanish Steps gelding out of the Wavering Monarch mare Hay Jude. The 5-year-old has earned $830,412.
The rest of the Shoemaker Mile nominees are Camp Victory, Compari, who was seventh in the 2010 renewal, Corporate Jungle, Dubai You X Y Z, Hudson Landing, Jeranimo, Liberian Freighter, who finished sixth in the race in 2011, Slim Shadey, Suggestive Boy and Venomous.
The Shoemaker Mile is the more lucrative of two Grade I races that will be offered June 30.
The $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap, which is at seven furlongs over Cushion Track, also had 13 nominations, including the aforementioned Comma to the Top, Rail Trip, defending champion Smiling Tiger and the Bob Baffert-trained duo of Los Angeles Handicap winner Roman Threat and The Factor.
Winless in his first two starts of 2012, Smiling Tiger is undefeated in three races over the Betfair Hollywood Park main for owners Alan Klein and Phil Lebherz and trainer Jeff Bonde.
A 5-year-old Hold That Tiger horse out of the Cahill Road mare Shandra Smiles, Smiling Tiger is 8-for-20 with earnings of $1,267,204.
If Smiling Tiger were to repeat in the Triple Bend, he would be only the second horse to do so. Porterhouse won in 1955 and 1956 for Llangollen Farm and trainer Charlie Whittingham.
Owned by Fog City Stable and George Bolton, The Factor, who is 4-for-4 at seven furlongs, has been idle since finishing sixth in the $2 million. Group I Dubai Golden Shaheen March 31 at Meydan Race Course in the United Arab Emirates.
Others nominated to the Triple Bend are Calimonco, Camp Victory, Centralinteligence, Don Tito, Italian Rules, Mobilized, Racing Aptitude and Tres Borrachos.
Entries for the Shoemaker Mile and the Triple Bend Handicap will be taken Wednesday, June 27.

Can agriculture meet the challenge of feeding 9 billion people?
Your challenge, or maybe it is the challenge of whoever succeeds you on your farm, is to produce food in sufficient quantities to feed three billion additional people 40 years from now. They will not be coming to your house for every holiday dinner like your in-laws, but they will be neighbors in our shrinking world who will live in metropolitan areas and not have the resources for food self-sufficiency. Certainly yields are increasing, at least when the weather cooperates, but there are many who cast legitimate doubts on whether the challenge can be met. But why would anyone doubt that we could not feed 9 billion people with our current land resources. We'll provide a "glimpse" into the future.
Glimpse is the acronym that Aiden Connolly and Kate Phillips-Connolly used to identify the roadblocks to productivity. They are Irish economists, and their perspective in the International Food and Agribusiness Management Review is labeled as a "wicked problem." That is because time is running out and no one is stepping up to take charge and provide direction to the diverse food producers. While some observers blame agribusiness for being the problem, the economists see agribusiness as "an essential component to meeting the challenge."
The researchers surveyed authorities who are close to the challenge and report, "One of the few points of consensus among the many researchers and organizations attempting to find solutions, is that the private sector will be a critical part of finding ways to get more food to more people more sustainably. Agribusiness leaders are recognizing both the moral and practical dimensions of their role." Those authorities who provided their insight include producers, agribusiness firms, policy makers, consultants, researchers, and academics, and were asked, "What are the biggest barriers facing agribusinesses ability to feeding three billion more people?" Their collective response compiles the words identified by the acronym "glimpse."
- Government bureaucracy, policies and regulations contribute substantially to the challenge of feeding the 9 billion. They contend the rules, fees, and costs of establishing and operating a business act as barriers to growth, such as the 119 days it takes to start a business in Brazil, compared to 2 days in Australia. Another part of the problem with government is corruption and the requisite bribes to engage in business.
- Loss and waste of food occur up and down the line from production to consumption. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization estimates one-third of food produced in the world is lost or wasted, however volumes are much higher in developed societies than in the developing world where food is more scarce and higher priced.
- Infrastructure is the conveyance of food from producer to consumer, which may run fast or slow, which may contribute to spoilage, and which deals with as many ingredients as it does fully prepared food products. Large agribusiness can control its own infrastructure, but smaller private-public investment will have that as a burden.
- Markets can manage the challenge, but that is a complex solution and governments may get involved. Where there are food shortages there are fragmented markets and dependence upon middlemen which make it difficult for agribusiness to operate. "More transparency by agribusinesses about both the risks and the benefits from innovative (market) approaches may help ameliorate some of these factors."
- Policies of government may support waste of resources or destroy the environment, such as the example the economists provide of fertile land in Russia and Argentine that remains fallow, yet cropping is subsidized heavily in other regions where crops otherwise would not be produced. In that, they take a rather dim view of biofuel programs.
- Science and innovation may help create higher yields and more food, but it runs headlong into societal concerns, such as genetically modified organisms. While science has created the opportunity to convert corn to fuel, it has created a backlash. But Norman Borlaug faced the same skepticism and he said, "Far more often than not, this philosophy has worked, in spite of constant pessimism and scare-mongering by critics."
- Environmental resources, such as land and water are in short supply, and more is needed to produce a unit of food, or so it seems. However, greater productivity can be replaced by contributions of agribusiness.

Good article............wrong question. Should be....... HOW can agriculture meet the challenge of feeding 9 billion people?
If anything, we are actually being asked to slow down dairy production, not increase it. There are almost zero milk co-operatives taking on new dairy farms. If we truly need to increase milk production domestically, there are major infrastructure changes that must be in place if it will have any impact on feeding the global population. I heard a very true statement recently: starvation in this world is really not a food problem, it's a distribution problem. I wonder if perhaps it's really about leadership.
Scientists are working toward producing meat on a petri dish using muscle stem cells (exercise and all), and Cargill already has a "casein replacement" product. Lab produced food will be more "environmentally friendly", produce less "greenhouse gas", will be "safer" (i.e. no e-coli from manure), and be viewed as more "humane". If we're not careful about how we frame this problem, we will justify ourselves out of existence. We should focus on the food security our dispersed food production system provides in contrast to centralized food production, and we should stop parroting the "our farmers can't feed the world" line.
Why do I care if we can feed the world? Why can't people of other countries feed themselves? That should be the question. It is bad enough that so many people in the USA can not feed themselves and are on food stamps.
We cannot feed 6 never mind 9. Those numbers are unsustainable anyway. fuggetaboutit
Right on. We don't need the extras anyway. A useless goal.
The world does not need 9 billion people. It is not only a question of food, but also a question of space, waste, education, health( phisical and psycological). etc. I am glad that I will not be here to see the world get close to that. I dought that it will. Too many things can happen in this before we get to that stage.
In the long term it will be best to help people learn to produce as much of their food as close to point of consumption as possible, using the resources they have at hand. Unless there is a major breakthrough, energy will become more scarce and expensive as will phosphorus for fertilizer and will force changes in where and what kind of food is produced. Transporting food and nutrients halfway around the world cannot be sustained. In 50 years if my grandchildren elect to farm I don't think it will be like I do it now.
These are all good comments, however no one knows and no one can predicate with a correct answer. As long as we live in nation that cannot agree on policies set forth by our elected officials for the goodness and well being for the population that we have now what would make any one think that that our nation could control additional growth. We as a nation have already proved that we are not capable. Just look at all of the uncertainties in our world today. There is something that needs to be done as a nation before it gets to far out of hand and worrying about feeding the predicated amount of people in the distance future is one of them, but only a very small one!
You can't feed the world with organic foods, non-GM foods, free range chickens, 15% ethanol used in fuel, all the redundant, non-value added regulation (a little regulation is good, but too much is just as bad). Rich countries can afford food like that, but emerging countries can't.

Awhile back I had made a few threads about a winter hike up Mt. Washington.
My brother in law, Dean, and I will be heading up to NH the day after Christmas and hopefully will get a spot to camp at either Hermit lake shelters or Harvard cabin. I see the weather has been quite cold and that is a good thing as I will be using this trip as some training for my attempt at the West Buttress route on McKinley this summer.
It has been neat reading some past experiences this winter on the Lion's head route. Also glad to see there haven't been too many incidents up there this winter. I would like to thank Climbabout for his suggestion in reading material. "not without peril".
After our trip I will post some pictures here and tell you guys about it. We are looking to just have a great time and if the weather opens up and we make the summit then great, if not, this trip will be a blast.

Hickman changed roles Feb. 25, with hopes of one day being promoted to sergeant. Working in the homicide unit will round out his experience, he said.
"(Homicide) was on my checklist," he said. "It was one of the things I've always wanted to do. I'll stay as long as they let me."
Hickman, who has worked for Patterson Police Services since late 2002, described the department as a close-knit family.
"We've always worked together closely," he said.
He described investigating the kidnapping and killing of 4-year-old Juliani Cardenas in 2011 as one of his most memorable cases.
Juliani was snatched from his grandmother's arms by Jose Esteban Rodriguez, his mother's ex-boyfriend. Working on a tip, area residents, police officials and fire crews searched the Delta-Mendota Canal for two weeks and ultimately found the boy's body near Santa Nella.
Police believe Rodriguez drove his car into the canal with Juliani buckled inside, based on a fisherman spotted a car matching the vehicle's description drive into the Delta-Mendota.
"The collaborative effort between citizens, law enforcement and the fire department was amazing," he said, calling the case unprecedented for the area. "It unfortunately ended tragically for everyone involved, but at least we got closure in the case."
Police Chief Tori Hughes offered high praise for the departing detective.
"Losing Hickman is a huge loss," she said. "He's one of the best that I've ever worked with in this business. He's been here an incredibly long time, and he's going to be greatly missed."
Detective Casey Hill, who has taken Hickman's place as a general-crimes detective after serving two years as Patterson's school resource officer, described Hickman as a resolute investigator.
"He is so good," Hill said. "I hope to bring the same tenacity."
Hickman had confidence in Hill, describing him as a go-getter.
"Casey's got a good head on his shoulders," he said. "He'll do just fine."
Hill said the students made his previous assignment enjoyable, but he looked forward to getting into the details of investigations.
Hughes expects good things from Hill, as well.
"Casey has a lot of knowledge and experience as a community deputy and a school resource officer," she said. "He brings a lot of knowledge of the community, having served as a school resource officer here in Patterson."

The clear beauty of amethysts has long made them a popular stone and they are showcased to their best effect in this simple and very wearable necklace. Separated by small beads of sterling silver, the necklace features oval beads of luminous amethysts and sterling silver oval links, spring ring and hallmark tag. Necklace measures approximately 17" long and a 3" extender chain adds to its versatility. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
• Amethyst heals and calms the mind, enhances the meditative state, creates pure thoughts and spiritual insights. Transmutes negativity and enhances the dream state. Provides alleviation of stress.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
