Observing the death-throes of Idealist Science
The scientific investigation of things is always channeled quite markedly by our established preconceptions, assumptions and even our well-established methodologies. How could it be otherwise? And, of course, such determining elements do not just fall out of nowhere. Mankind has had a very long history of such methods, starting as long ago as when they were rather well-equipped apes in the trees of East Africa millions of years ago.
Yet, by a long series of adaptions and consequent changes in modes of living and processing sense perceptions, as well as survival and interaction problems, they have become differentiated from even the closest of their other ape relatives, to be able to do things quite unimaginable in their long past ancestral world.
Mankind, almost miraculously, began to Think, Communicate and Act to an unprecedented degree. And all of these developments were totally unpredictable within their immediately pre-origin states, or indeed any prior stages of development. Adaptions not only fitted this species for necessary actions and methods, but, as always, also extended things into the wholly new possibilities of which Mankind became increasingly capable. Entirely new tasks emerged for the first time capable of being both conceived of, and then attempted.
But, that amazing development route, does not mean that that he directly climbed a pre-existing ladder towards some totally and always available level. Indeed, though most gains were both pragmatic and rarely fully understood, certain conceptual gains "had the legs" to enable a whole series of quite different developments too in an ever-increasing range of areas.
But, every single one, because it was pragmatic rather than conceptual, always had its limits, and could, and indeed did, ultimately lead him astray. But, this was not a flaw, or even an error. It simply could not be otherwise. Progress solely by discovered processes, which attempt to lift you up by your own bootlaces, will necessarily have this property.
What is remarkable is that along the way they did, most definitely, lead to considerable gains, but NOT as a continuous and clearly consequent sequence. On the contrary, each productive set of methods and their retinue of emerging ideas would always and inevitably, come up against an unavoidable crisis, wherein the current tools did not match up to the jobs that presented themselves. And such crises meant that extended periods without any significant new gains were very common.
Something very unusual had to happen to make possible the actual surmounting of any such "terminating" impasse, and as soon as a single individual had reached and somehow surpassed the barrier, Mankind's communication abilities soon propagated the solution throughout that person's in-contact groups.
But, if this inevitable "accelerator-brake" trajectory is not appreciated, then the exponents to the most currently fruitful ideas and techniques, will, when confronting such an inevitably final impasse to their accepted mix of ideas and methods, are made inevitably prisoners of their beloved paradigms and techniques, and we can quite definitely say that they had encountered yet another case of the "tail beginning to wag the dog"!
The once progressive standpoint, if insisted upon as the "Truth", becomes reactionary, and will never traverse the self-generated impasse. Further development will halt at such a point, and future achievements will be limited forever to within the same prior area.
You continue to swim, but only in your own pool: the infinite sea lies forever just around the corner, and unconsidered.
Now, this may sound very pessimistic, but in fact it can be the very opposite, for as Hegel insisted, "Once you are aware of a limit or boundary, you have already passed it!"
The seeker for ever closer approaches to the Truth – the scientist (for example), must be constantly aware of the above described trajectory, and when he or she encounters what appears to be a terminal halt to proceedings, must recognise it, and critically review their previously untouchable assumptions, principles and methods.
Let us look at the current crisis in Physics, which has now lasted for almost a century, and shows, as yet, no signs of any conquest of it at any time soon.
It is, of course, the Copenhagen Era in Sub Atomic Physics! And the ideas and techniques which have terminated progress in this important area are NOT new, but have finally outlived their usefulness: these are the principles of Plurality and Formalism, and have forced a significant philosophical retreat, that previously was seemingly not required.
Now, many will guess what Formalism is, but may not recognise Plurality, though the latter is not only much older than the former, it is also more profoundly important, and has, for well over 2,000 years, been the unrecognised cornerstone of all conceptual developments since that time.
To understand how these remarkable principles have been extremely effective ideas, and have also generated a whole set of successful investigative techniques and consequently extremely valuable theories, we have to, as always, go back to the ancient Greeks.
It is they who most successfully learned to abstract from complex and unfettered Reality certain crucial simplifications, which very effectively revealed what were previously hidden, glimpsed or unreliable in Reality-as-is.
The cornerstone of their method was Geometry, where by the amazing simplification of points, lines and planes into what were actually unachievable forms – dots of zero extension, lines of zero thickness and completely flat and infinite planes, managed to extract shapes, forms and relations which were truly universal.
Euclidian Geometry delivered just such an available World. And working solely within this idealisation, they could address certain problems, relationships, and Theorems (geometric derivations), which were certainly NOT obvious when the natural entities were studied.
The abstract versions had separated Form from its complex, real World Content, and studied it in "splendid isolation". They believed that they had uncovered the Essences of Reality, but actually they had only revealed the universal features of Purely Abstract Form.
They were working in a totally formal subset of Reality, which because of that major restriction did funnel down into a very much smaller number of common patterns – Forms.
Indeed, it is very clear to me that we should never endow this area of study with the idea that is Reality. In truth it is NOT about Reality as such, but only about the Shapes, Patterns and Forms that constitute a majorly simplified reflection of Reality, which I insist should be clearly labelled as that World of Pure Form alone - Ideality.
It was indeed a magnificent achievement!
It was the beginning of Mathematics in general, for it is the same sort of thing – abstracted Form dealt with entirely separately from Reality, and in its own terms. Indeed, it is the process of Abstraction applied to Pattern alone!
But, of course, this constitutes only one aspect of Abstraction, and for those who require a broadening of their study of its methods and achievements, there is a vast country in Ideality.
Yet, at the beginning of my own investigations, I took many months to arrive at a general diagram entitled The Processes and Productions of Abstraction (shown here)
And this figure shows what a small corner of the whole we are concentrating on with Formalism and Mathematics. [The index identifies that sector which constitutes Ideality, and that it amounts to only about one sixth of the diagram in the bottom right corner.]
I feel that I should say at this point that I am not an external and perennial critic of Mathematics. Throughout my education in Grammar school and University I was always at the top of the class in Mathematics, and have since dedicated very large periods to solely mathematical researches. I am indeed a mathematician.
So, these criticisms and revelations are well-informed and well-founded - and, of course, totally incapable of being the basis for most problems and decisions in Life (though two Indian mathematicians recently published a novel in which the hero is sure that the truths and logic of Mathematics are indeed just that).
So, because they are so closely related, I must, before I go any further, reveal the content of that other principle – that of Plurality.
This is the basis of all Analysis!
It assumes that any Whole can be analysed into its constituent Parts, which subsequently could be brought together to actually make that Whole. And repeating the analysis exercise, with each and every Part, would reveal its components in the same way, and thereafter be repeated to end a "possible infinite regress" with a final arrival at a set of fundamental units related by eternal laws.
Now that descent we all know as Reductionism, but hidden within it is the pluralist assumption that the various Parts are entirely separable. This is a crucial assumption, and in certain cases a valid one, but it is only very rarely true.
It means that Wholes are the result of these separable Parts coming together – nothing else is involved in the essential thing that we are abstracting. When we invert Reductionism, along with the assumption of Plurality, we believe that there is a causal set of links all the way from the fundamental and final basic elements to everything in our World. They are inevitable consequences of particular mixes of those bases, complicated in layer upon layer.
Now, this sounds quite reasonable but if we find those Parts by experimental techniques in specially constructed and constrained set ups, we can assume that what we get by these means will be the same as exist in the Whole in which they exist in totally unconstrained Reality. They are totally separable and unchanging as contributions, and hence, when we have by the same sort of methods identified ALL the component parts, we should be able to produce the Whole from them. Now, though this can be true in certain stable situations, it is usually totally wrong. They are NOT separable! Plurality is wrong!
The alternative to this assumption of Plurality is Holism, which insists that such separability is a myth, and though "something-like" our extracted relation (in an experiment) occurs in Reality, it is certainly not exactly the same. Reality is NOT produced by contributing separable laws.
Laws are produced by particular interacting and mutually affecting mixes within Reality, and when that changes so does the Law, sometimes so radically that you could not even relate the new Law to the old law; they could be entirely different.
Yet Science is built upon Formalism and Plurality.
How was it so successful, for it most certainly was?
It worked because we didn't apply the extracted laws in totally unfettered Reality. On the contrary, we had learned to first rigorously constrain a section of Reality to a remarkable and maintained degree to reveal, and then extract relations more easily. And then we also found out that our laws would only work when applied in those exact same Domains, from which we had extracted them.
We are the horticulturalists of Reality!
We create the ideal plots, cultivate and maintain them, learn all we can to improve them to most effectively extract our necessary "truths", and then apply them within our perfect plots to grow what is possible there.
Now, this has worked well in very many areas for several centuries, but you cannot cover all of Reality with greenhouses, controlled environments, irrigation and appropriate fertilisers. At certain crucial points, we must confront Reality as it is! And that occurs mightily in Sub Atomic Physics.
Now, the effect of all our constraints and consequent extractions upon our conceptual and practical approaches was not immediately evident, but turned out to be nevertheless absolutely crucial. We only very rarely address qualitative change!
Our construction of Domains, and the extensive constraints within them, effectively impose an artificial stability upon an invented situation: we make absolutely sure that the area of study does not qualitatively change under our hands into something significantly different. We kneel on its chest and hold down its arms and legs to study its properties.
"Stir thoroughly, then wait for equilibrium, before taking any measurements" is the usually applied imperative, which encapsulates this approach more generally. We know that to get results we must study stability! We, very sensibly, only look in stable conditions for our relations. We, effectively, reveal the Science within various versions of Stability.
Indeed, each and every law (equation) that we uncover is always a law of the precise conditions that we set up and maintain in our experimental area – our Domain, not only of extraction, but also essentially of application too. Though we know well enough that qualitative changes do always happen naturally in all unfettered Reality, we don't reveal why they happen, because we very effectively prohibit them in our experiments.
Now, the usual response to this assertion is the bringing forward of the many examples of Change of State (Phase Change) readily admitted to by each and every scientist. They all with surprise explain how they are very well aware of the changes from solid to liquid, and liquid to gas, and are then admonished by reference to rules about Latent Heat. But any such laws are about energy transfers only! They don't explain why these qualitative changes occur: they merely describe what occurs energetically. Causes are never part of equations: they are succinct descriptions only!
And whenever we are confronted by such changes, we institute two quite different responses. We turn away from causes and instead do overall statistics!
Latent Heat is merely a measure of the energy involved, that is necessary as part of the transition, which will transfer from one organisational regime to another, and, as it stands, merely as a quantitative amount, it could never be said to be any sort of explanation of the change!
So, in the past there has always been what we can describe as an accompanying explanatory narrative, which is additional to any constants and equations, and which derives from our knowledge of and theories about the structure of solids and liquids, so that when these True Theories are coupled with the quantitative stuff we feel we have a solid handle on what is going on. And, when real explanations are extracted from scientists in an area such as this, what they say derives very little indeed from the quantitative descriptions, and almost entirely from the qualitative theories, that appear in the always-accompanying narrative. Then, we hear of balances between opposing forces, which settle into stable arrangements, and which can explain everything from ordinary expansion on energy input, the breakdown of the current Phase into something very different on a Change of State.
This is our solution!
We do NOT actually explain anything with our purely quantitative formulae and the various thresholds, which signal Phase Change. We give our static forms together with purely verbal explanations, based upon qualitative models or metaphors. And this is always the case over the widest range of phenomena too.
But, we do not know how to address Dynamic, Qualitative Change in process: we just get out at the relevant "floors" where stability has been attained, and there is very good reasons for this. Such transitions are never simple and formulatable as are relations within stability, especially when the latter are extracted in artificially stable and specially constructed Domains. Our sciences and our scientists do not know how to deal with Significant Qualitative Change.
Now again, many would dispute this, but they are mistaken.
What we do is state what we know about some particular changing phenomenon, especially if the various stages map onto something else that we are very familiar with. We "explain" by analogy! "Just like that over there!", is not, I'm afraid an explanation. It is certainly useful, and allows some things to be inferred, and others to be seen more generally, but it is appearance and not essence. It is something we know from experience to be the case, and not something we understand.
Our investigations are either carefully chosen or rigorously constrained (or both) to allow our usual extraction of relations. We build Roman Roads through the countryside of Reality; we do not usually investigate Reality's own passages of creative change. But, of course, this means that we ignore vast tracts of the most important areas and processes that are actually transforming Reality.
Let me illustrate this with the most important example.
We know nothing about Revolutions! Now, the reader might reject such an area as freakish, biased and unimportant, but this only demonstrates that they do not even realise that all qualitative changes of real significance only happen in just such Events, not only in Society but also at every single Level in the development of Reality since its start.
These Events are termed Emergences. Indeed, at every single significant turning point in the history of Reality, all important qualitative changes only occur in relatively short episodes of truly revolutionary change, in Emergences! And, in between, there have been many very long periods of Stability, in which most things stay relatively the same, varying only in inconsequentials – usually quantitative and formulateable!
Even the absolutely crucial relationship between Stability and Emergence is never addressed. We merely take the transformed situation and study it entirely within its own terms as a "New Science"!
After the, actually certain, Origin of Life from non-living substances and processes, we merely address the new Level of Living Things and call it Biology! And it is really studied in isolation.
To report that non-living processes still occur, is of course true, but to assume that when they seem to be happening within Life they are exactly the same is rubbish!
The crucial question of exactly why and how the first Life came to be is nowhere known or understood.
NOTE: In Brian Cox's repeated comments in the Wonders of the Solar System TV series on BBC TV, he seems to infer that the occurrence of Life would be automatic given only conducive conditions, appearing more like reproduction than miracle.
It is not part of what we do, is it?
But, the Quantum Crisis did a great deal more to disable Sub Atomic Physics. It ultimately led to the victory of Bohr and Heisenberg at Solvay in 1927 and the establishment of a new order in that branch of Physics, for the essential explanatory theories or accompanying narratives were declared to be wholly self-kid, and all such contributions banned.
Instead the only reliable and hence "truthful" gains of past methods were deemed to be the extracted and "essential" Equations alone. And, without that crucial explanatory framework, the causes of phenomena became the extracted, "objective" laws themselves. Science was not only transformed to be entirely pragmatic (like Technology), but also switched around to now be also idealist!
Theories, as they used to be, vanished, and were replaced by equations alone. And, if you had one that worked, it was thereafter termed to be a "theory".
Of course, it was no such thing: an equation is a description only, and a purely formal one at that. Yet, if you consider it to be more than that, you are saying that, "Obeys this equation!", is the cause of a phenomenon.
It most certainly is not!
So, how does this once so appealing, "waggily-tail" get to remarkably wag the whole dog in very misleading ways?
We still have to set up more and more exclusive and extreme Domains to get the reproducibility required for reliable relations to be extracted as "the underlying essences", and the contents of these defined and maintained Domains become more and more special and unlike any current or past situation. So much is removed or held constant that all holistic effects are also totally absent. We usually limit our entities to at most two, and sometimes only one(?). And gigantic machines costing billions of pounds are constructed to add what they consider to be the only necessary ingredient possible – Energy! And the only phenomenon they can conceive of, conducive to this style of investigating, is the majorly destructive Collision – the total dissociation of their accelerated entities and their targets (now often the very same things) into whatever is the result.
Of course, they can never control what happens after a collision event, but because the conditions have been so strictly erected and constrained, they infer the construction of each Whole in terms of its "broken" Parts. Now, where have I heard that before?
You are right! It is indeed Plurality, applied not in the greenhouse-type conditions where it is usually employed, but in an arranged cataclysm. And guess where all the evidence for such mammoth dissociations occurs? It is only in real world Emergences, which always commence with a cataclysm of enormous dissociation, but then go on to a series of alternating Phases in entirely opposite directions, involving on the one hand creative construction of New Order, and on the other by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, until an entirely NEW complete Level is created out of the almost totally unconstrained detritus of a complete Level dissociation.
Do you think that our Copenhageners at the Large Hadron Collider will do it?

Spreads are among the toughest to keep up with, as they change fast and constantly, which is to be expected in a healthy competitive market, where Forex brokers must be fast to react & adjust their spreads. The course is extremely through and not only teaches you the forex market and how to work it to your advantage, but shows you how to trade with discipline and knowledge to make good trades, every trade. On the other hand, we are ready to do some scalping in order to exploit the breakout which occurs at around 7 am on 29th July. Sharpcharts users can choose between the normal ZigZag" and ZigZag (Retrace.)." As shown in the examples above, the normal ZigZag shows lines that move at least a specific percentage.
Now, I have a better understanding of them and I can focus on one type of trend indicator and make it mine as I move forward with the forex market! Using scalping, a trader can find quick trading opportunities during the day without having to spend all day in front of the computer. Eurica account have more advantage with traders who trade currency pairs that have large spread. The ZigZag is drawn by locating a pseudo fractal formation of either a high or a low where the two bars around the high and low are both lower and higher respectively. We're pleased to inform you that starting March 18th 2015, trading the instruments with fixed zero spread will be available for MT4 Fix-Standard and Pro-Standard accounts, as well as for all MT5 standard and cent accounts. Buy both of Jim's books, especially if you are new to trading Forex; you wont be disappointed. Therefore, different forex pairs are actively traded at different times of the day.

I have been looking into Forex for the past 5 years, and still don't have a good money making strategy. Borrowing money to trade forex is not a sensible strategy, and not one that any investment advisor ought to recommend. The ZigZag feature can be used to filter out small moves and make Elliott Wave counts more straight-forward. It is important when employing this strategy to avoid buying when short term still continues.
For now, I'm testing range bars and supply and demand zone to complement with preferred trading system that I will use.

Not that I recommend it, because losing a bunch of weight in a week is usually kind of pointless and rather unhealthy, but I know people will attempt to lose weight quickly for specific reasons.
If someone were to ask me how to lose a lot of weight fast, I would tell them this:
Don't eat carbs for a week. Every meal you eat without carbs is like a meal you didn't eat at all - when speaking of weight. Your body cannot store fat without the presence of insulin (from carbs or carbohydrates).
Because you are not storing fat, your body is using fat that is already stored so with 2 things going on (not storing fat AND burning fat) you will lose weight quickly. If you want to lose weight fast, this is the fastest way to lose weight without starving yourself. There are even desserts that you can eat using cream, cream cheese and of course BUTTER that are delicious and will help keep you on track.
Drink lots of water during that time to flush water weight out of your system.
Most important: take a fiber supplement! If you are eating mostly meat, cheese and eggs, there is not enough fiber and you are going to become constipated. Metamucil (or the store brand variety) is natural psyllium husks. Take that for two reasons: 1) to keep you from getting constipated 2) to get rid of even more weight from your colon. You'll feel better too! It's important to drink plenty of liquids while taking fiber. Start slowly so you don't feel bloated and constipated at first. Build up to full doses of what the instructions tell you to take.
This is not a good way to lose weight if you want to keep it off. You will feel deprived after a while and are likely to binge eat. However, it IS a good way to kick start a diet or kick your metabolism up a notch (as long as you are drinking the water, taking the fiber and not eating a bunch of unhealthy foods).
Find a list of carb free (or low carb foods), print it and put it on the frig. (Example: Low Carb Food List )
Eating foods that are low in fat (whole grains, veggies, fruits, skim milk, fat free yogurt, etc) seperately (by 3 hours) from the foods with fat will also keep you losing while doing this.
Check out books by Suzanne Somers. Look for her books with recipes too.

Liptauer is a spread made with a soft cheese and various herbs and spices and originates from a town in Hungary called Lipto. I understand that it was originally made with a fresh sheep or goat's cheese.
In some Central European restaurants the cheese is served on a platter with various ingredients on the side and one mixes the cheese as desired. The only place where I have seen it in the US was at Zabar's in New York (about 80th and Broadway). Knowing how easy it is to make, I didn't try Zabar's version. There are always too many other things that I want to try and get there.
The Recipe (as I know it):
I have also heard that one can add capers and anchovies.
How much of each? Sorry, I never measured nor saw anyone else measure the ingredients. "Our" Liptauer was always pink in color (from the paprika) and the rest was "to taste". I don't think that you can go very wrong with this one.
Some notes from my mother, Hilda our family's recipe book:
"Mix some sour cream with the cream cheese so that it is more spreadable. Add the other ingredients to taste and mix well.
"Use as a spread on bread; or, as seen in the picture with Hilda, 'fill' sections of green or red pepper and serve as an hors d'oeuvre."
My mother learned to fill whole peppers with liptaur or egg salad and then cap the opening of the peeper with the trimmed off stem. She would often prepare this for my father when he had to go "active" with the IDF (the Israeli Army). Not knowing how long he would be gone, this was a good way to send along some food that would last for a few days. The pepper acted as "insulation" for the filling.
Traditionally (I think) it is served with a light rye bread but I am sure that the Kaiser will not object if you served it with crackers, with other vegetables, or...

i made you a muxtape
It never happened to me, as home-schoolers don't usually have boyfriends in junior high, (ok, not until college for some of us). But I've seen it happen plenty of times in movies, and I think it's pretty much the most romantic thing ever. As a sign of affection, 14 year-old Jimmy spends six hours alone in his room on a weekend evening going through his extensive collection of old vinyl's, laboriously compiling a list of his favorite songs, and on Monday morning presents his crush with a mixed tape he made specifically for her.
Apparently I'm not the only person waxing nostalgic over the idea of mixed tapes: Muxtape is a web application that allows users to create and share personal MP3 playlists. The interface is simple, and the site centers only around the music, avoiding album or band graphics, effectively recalling an era when the only labeling was hand written in pen, on one of those thin labels that came with your set of 20 cassettes that you had to peel off. Muxtapestumbler allows you to search for your favorite bands among user's playlists.
Another thing I've noticed about someone's personalized playlist is what it reveals about his or her taste and personality. A quick scan of their song selection might make you generally impressed by the inclusion of Radiohead and Beck, nicely surprised by the nod to a local Indie success like Cold War Kids or Autolux, and then you see it: "Inside Your Heaven" by Carrie Underwood. It's like one bug in a bag of flour: it's all ruined. Playlists are kind of like politics: one wrong move and all trust is lost.
If playlists are like politics, some users are like sarcastic comedians, making fun of the people who take themselves too seriously. Just check out the catbird mix and you'll see what I mean. And definitely do it at work, while trying not to laugh. I dare you.
So far the only problem with the site is recent hosting issues; the site has been down a lot recently. We hope it clears up soon!Tags: music sharing, Muxtape

Playlist: Mickey Taylor – Sirens In Chicago
Mickey Taylor has released the single, Sirens In Chicago, which is taken from his upcoming album, Midnight Palace, due out in January 2017, the follow-up from Puppets Lament released earlier this year.
"It's essentially a love letter or a thank you to my boyfriend," Mickey said about Sirens In Chicago. "Working in the adult industry that I do means at times I have two personalities – the hard-working passionate but also eccentric and loud personality that is "Mickey", who sometimes has to disappear for weeks on end, wears insane outfits and at times I find hard to switch off from. And then there is me who loves my boyfriend very much and is all those things but at a more natural level, social level. And it can be tough to separate work and personal life with my boyfriend and not have "Mickey" come between us.
"This song is about me thanking my boyfriend and saying I recognise there is two of us at times and appreciate his love for both personalities, and me wanting to know I will always be there for him and thinking of him even when we are a part. The music video reflects this too as we see two versions of myself – played by Cal Marbot and Auz Roy – in bed and being loved by my boyfriend who is played by myself."
It's essentially a love letter or a thank you to my boyfriend
The track itself steers away from being a big pop ballad and reveals the sound progression within Mickey's music that contain lyrics from the heart. The song only builds on the anticipation for his album release.
"I really wanted a more mature sound on this album. This last one was very gay pop which I loved but vocally this album shows of what I can do more with my writing and vocals, and it means so much more to me. This is much more mature and slightly more mainstream and I can't wait to show everyone what else I've been working on with this album. This is just an introductory taste – it's been over a year of writing and I've loved every moment."

Top 10 Loftens' Most-Used Movie/TV Quotes
September 2, 2010 by cloften
Filed under General Insanity, Silliness and Rants
I made a run at something similar to this before, but I didn't like it, not enough to delete it though. Once it gets posted, it is written into the record. Anywho, here is a better list, not that anyone cares. I take that back, my brother will like this. So this one's for you, Brad-o. (Friend him on FB if you like. He'll say yes to just about anyone, especially if you're friends with me)
One of the defining characteristics of being a Loften is making pop culture references and quoting movies or TV shows in casual conversation. It's who we are. It's what we do. I'm afraid, however, that we are in a season, where it has taken an ugly turn. I try not to be judgmental, and I want to be a relatively cool dad. However, we are starting to get a lot of random quotes around the house from various pre-teen Disney and Nick shows. Lauren will say something, and I'll say, "Where does that come from?" Way too often the answer is Gibby. Who is Gibby? Some character from iCarly, which is the "best" of these shows, which is akin to saying "least annoying mosquito." Sometimes it's Fred. I can see these coming, because of the annoying voice that accompanies it. If you don't know who Fred is, I will do a public service by not telling you.
All that said, taking Gibby, Fred, and the cast of Tru Jackson, VP out of it, these are the best and most used references around the Loften home.
10. "Spongebob! This pencil is broken." — Patrick Star from the TV show Spongebob Squarepants
This is my only shout-out to stuff that my kids watch, mostly (entirely) because this is the only show they watch worth watching. Patrick is trying to write a poem and borrows pencil and paper from Spongebob. Patrick is frustrated that the pencil doesn't work, because it won't write any words. To which Spongebob replies that you have to think of the words yourself. This is a new, but now common, thing to say around the house when you need a comedic break from your homework. You take a deep sigh, hold up your pencil and declare that it is broken, because it will not write words. Homework cannot continue until the Spongebob retort is given.
9. "Faboo" — Wakko Warner from the TV show Animaniacs
If you don't know who the Animaniacs are, I feel bad for you. Do you remember when cartoons were funny and clever? Yeah, I know it's hard, but try. This was a show in that genre. Funny for kids, smart and funny for adults. It was around in the early to mid-90's. Pinky and the Brain were birthed out of that show. Don't know them either? Pity. Wakko Warner was a character patterned somewhat after Harpo Marx (BOOM! uber-dated reference), except that Wakko would talk on occasion, with his own vernacular. He often shortened words. Faboo was short for fabulous. That's how we use it. We use it so much that it doesn't even feel like a pop culture reference anymore. In fact, I may be the only that knows that it is and where it comes from.
8. "John Coctoasten" –Fletch from the movie Fletch
Fletch is making up a name to try and convince someone that they knew each other from a while back. He introduces himself as "John." "John, who?" "John Coc…toast..en" is what he replies mumbling, hoping she will make her own connection. I have had to confess at various times that the Loftens are not very good at remembering people's names. (Please Grovers, do not assume that I know your name. Especially if we met on a Sunday. I don't remember anything from Sunday morning. It's kind of a crazy day for me.) So it is not unusual for Heidi and I to try and remember someone's name. "I think his name was Mike? Uh, Mike De…Do…uh…" To which the always helpful, sarcastic spouse (could be either of us) will reply "Coctoasten?" Did this to someone not a Loften recently. The awkward pause and stare made it all worth it.
7. "What's 'taters, Precious?" — Gollum from the movie Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers
Being from the South, taters is a common word. It doesn't feel like slang. It's just a much simpler way to say potatoes. Isn't two syllables always better than three? Save energy, man! Well apparently, Samwyse Gamgee was from the southern part of the Shire, because he says taters as well. The Yankee, Gollum, not knowing this word responds with "What's taters, Precious?" Then Sam responds with, "Po-tay-toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew." Classic. This must, must be said any time, anyone, anywhere says taters. It's not optional. Sam's response is optional, but strongly encouraged.
6. "Tie on the bed, throw the rope out the window" — Chico Marx from the movie Horse Feathers
Come on guys, everyone knows this quote right? Right? No one. Fine. I am pretty sure no one else in our house has even seen this movie. However, Marx Brothers movies are quite popular with Loften men. They are hilarious and well-written, you know just like…basically nothing today (You kids get off my lawn!). Chico and his brother are trapped in an apartment but they have a rope. He tells his brother, Harpo to "tie on the bed, throw the rope out the window." He doesn't understand. Chico repeats this over and over. Finally, Harpo takes his tie off, puts it on the bed and throws the unattached rope out the window. See? High comedy. So this gets used when someone is giving overly complicated directions and someone else just isn't understanding. Someone, well, really just me, will scream "Tie on the bed, throw the rope out the window." Similarly…
5. "You stay here and make sure he doesn't leave" — King of Swamp Castle from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The king is trying to get two idiot guards to watch his son and keep him from leaving his room. He repeats this over and over again. The two guards just can't get it. It's a hilarious scene. Probably top 5 funniest scenes from any movie. This line gets repeated at our house not when the directions are overly-complicated, but when they are incredibly simple, but just not being heard, understood or followed. (I know what you must be thinking. With 2 perfect angels in your house, when could that ever happen? I know. It's rare, but it happens) When someone, read Cloften, says this to his spouse, exasperation has hit its peak. This is either met with much needed comedic relief or it turns the focus of frustration to the quoter. It's a great quote. Very funny. Use with caution.
4. "What about second breakfast?" — Merry from the movie The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring
Lord of the Rings is the only entity that gets two entries. It is from two different installments, but nonirregardless Lord of the Rings clearly is deep into Loften culture. Our kids are notorious eaters, always have been. They like food, all kinds of food, in significant quantities. It is common for them to want to eat at 9 or 10 am, after they have already had breakfast. Sometimes they will even say, "what's for breakfast?" "Haven't you already had breakfast?" This is where the Lord of the Rings quotes take over. This is essentially the same situation Aragorn finds himself in with the Hobbits. They reply, "We've had one breakfast, yes. But what about second breakfast?" Second breakfast is now part of our vocabulary. We don't have to have second breakfast every day, but it cannot be ignored, if the need arises.
3. "These pretzels are making me thirsty" — Cosmo Kramer from the TV show Seinfeld
Kramer is hired to have a bit part in a movie and this is his only line. He practices saying it in front of the gang and everyone critiques it and says it their own way. Now at the Loften house, if someone says something of the same cadence, for example, "This shirt is making me hot," someone will, not may, will respond back with "these pretzels are making me thirsty." At that point, everyone has to repeat the phrase back with their own inflection. Last, almost always, read always always, is Mom. Sometimes she has to rebuked by one of her daughters, "(clearing throat loudly) Mom!" "Oh, sorry. These pretzels are making me thirsty." Again, as with many of these quotes, our girls have never seen this on TV. It doesn't matter. This is what we do. They play along, no problem. They love it. I pity their therapist when they are older.
2. "Other options?" — William Wallace from the movie Braveheart
William Wallace has returned from York to discover that the English have invaded and sent a huge army. He is trying to rally the nobles where they have this interchange. One of the nobles believes that the English are too many and it is time to consider other options. To which Wallace replies, "Other options? Don't you wish at least to lead your men onto the field and barter a better deal with Longshanks before you tuck tail and run? You are not allowed to utter the words "other options" without doing it in Scottish accent. Sometimes our Scottish accents devolve into British, Irish, Australian, Italian, Norwegian (?). It's the effort that matters here. If you do forget to at least give the Scottish accent effort, someone must and will point it out. You then correct yourself. There are no exceptions. None.
1. "You serious, Clark?" — Cousin Eddie from the movie Christmas Vacation
Clark Griswold is trying to get the kids excited about Christmas and gives a report that he heard that Santa's sleigh has been spotted. To which Cousin Eddie in all seriousness replies, "You serious, Clark?" Let's just agree right now, that Cousin Eddie is top 3 funniest minor characters in a movie comedy, ever. I would just say number one, but I don't want to just pop off like that. Hmmm. The Black Knight (Holy Grail) ? Carl Spackler (Caddyshack)? Nevermind. The uses for this quote are abundant. If someone says something serious, if someone says something ridiculous, if someone misspeaks and says something ridiculous, the list is almost endless. Typically, Heidi or I will add, "Get yourself something, real nice." This is another quote from Eddie in another scene. It is completely out of context, but sometimes you just feel compelled to go on an Eddie quoting streak. "This here's a quality item. If you don't mind me asking, what'd she set you back?" "She falls down a well, her eyes cross. Kicked by a mule, they go back." "Got the girl in the clinic getting cured off the wild turkey." "It's the gift that keeps on giving." CLOFTEN, wake up!
Sorry, I got into a Cousin Eddie-induced trance.

This workshop is a joy for the Infant ages, while still providing a valuable insight into First Nation North American culture and great hands-on experience for the Junior years as well. The visual stimulus for this culture, particularly for children, might be through animation films like Pocahontas, Spirit, Brother Bear and even Avatar, which, as a story, taps into the same plight of Native Americans when the 'Invaders' from Europe came to settle on their land.
A Pow Wow is a Native American family gathering of all the people of one nation to celebrate their culture and pageantry together in harmony. Stories are told. Music and song unfolds to the rhythm of the Pow Wow drum. A procession called the grand entry begins the Pow Wow, with an elected elder warrior carrying the nation flag and leading everyone from the eldest to the youngest into the circle arena before festivities begin.
Our Pow Wow recreates the symbolic circle of life with a variety of instruments laid out in a circle. After a traditional and exuberant Grand Entry, the children are taught simple tribal rhythms to accompany a traditional song 'Land Of The Silver Birch' played by Jim on the marimba. It is a dynamic workshop embracing everything the First Nation people hold dear to their hearts, from the creatures and animals of the great outdoors to the drums and songs of their people and Mother Nature herself.

Orchestra Concert Showcases Diverse Array of Pieces
Editor's note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore's online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.
This past Sunday, the Swarthmore College Orchestra, conducted by Andrew Hauze '04, performed a diverse repertoire for their fall concert. The program featured a performance by David Kim, concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The program opened with the orchestral premiere of Aytz Chaim (Tree of Life), written by Swarthmore jazz ensemble director Drew Shanefield. Shanefield had originally scored the piece for wind band, but he collaborated with Andrew Hauze to adapt it for the Swarthmore College Orchestra.
Shanefield took inspiration from both Jewish liturgy and a magnolia tree in his backyard while writing Aytz Chaim. "They seem to harmonize well," Shanefield said. These inspirations are directly referenced in the themes of the music. The English horn opens the piece with a traditional Hebrew melody, while the piccolo weaves in and out of the music with a birdlike call.
Shanefield enjoyed the experience of returning to the piece to rescore it for orchestra. He appreciated the challenge of experimenting with the different sounds of the orchestra. "What do I lose in the conversion, but what am I going to gain in trying some colors?" Shanefield said, referencing the different colors of orchestral instruments.
Shanefield's specific knowledge of the Swarthmore College Orchestra influenced his composition. "In some ways, [the piece] was custom written in the translation and adaptation for this group for this time, which was kind of neat," Shanefield said.
Hauze, too, was pleased with the results of the collaboration. "It was great fun, and it was great to have the composer there to give his advice and to help make something new be heard," Hauze said.
Lang Concert Hall was an ideal setting for the piece. The hall's large window situated behind the performers looks out into the Crum woods. The connection with nature spoke to the themes of Shanefield's piece.
Next, the orchestra played Jean Sibelius's Violin Concerto in D Minor, op. 47, featuring David Kim as soloist. Kim played with both technical precision and deep emotion, and the piece evoked a feeling of longing. "[The piece] explores this whole other territory of sounds," Hauze said. "A dark, murky texture that we don't get to explore otherwise in our repertoire."
Kim has visited Swarthmore in the past to give master classes and perform, and Hauze said he was thrilled to have the opportunity to conduct a concerto with him and the orchestra. He said he embraced Kim's suggestion of Sibelius. "I'd been wanting to do a work by Sibelius with the orchestra for some time," Hauze said. "So this was a perfect opportunity to do some Sibelius. I'm so glad we chose it."
Hauze was pleased with Kim's teaching style and was glad to work with him. He felt that Kim connected well with the orchestra. "[Kim] has a way of getting on the same wavelength with people, I think particularly with college students," Hauze said.
In the evening's third and final change of pace, the program concluded with Aaron Copland's ballet-suite, Billy the Kid. The suite begins with a quiet duet played in perfect fifths, evoking the image of the open prairie. Other scenes are vividly described, including an intense gun battle featuring the snare drum. The piece concludes with a much louder repetition of the opening theme, returning to the image of the prairie.
Hauze loves Billy the Kid for its vibrancy. "Though it's difficult to put together, it has a naturalness and an immediacy," Hauze said. He felt that as a ballet, the piece's rhythms invited movement and were physically engaging. "You can just dance with it," Hauze said.
Hauze was highly impressed with the orchestra's performance. "It certainly was […] the most difficult program we've ever done," Hauze said. "Everyone just stepped up and they played their hearts out, and it just feels so wonderful conducting when everybody's so into the music."

Spa tubs are a fun way to turn your backyard into a relaxing oasis. Whether attached to your swimming pool or free-standing, spa tubs are an easy addition to most spaces because they are smaller than a pool. Relaxing in a hot tub is a great way to unwind after a stressful day or enjoy a chilly evening under the stars. In order to keep your spa tub running efficiently, it's important to perform routine maintenance.
Your spa or hot tub uses energy to keep the water temperature consistently warm. A leaking spa or hot tub wastes water and electricity trying to maintain your desired settings. There are several areas to check if you suspect a leak. Some of the problems are easy to solve while others may require taking the cabinet apart if it is a stand-alone unit.

TV's Funniest Family Encourages Parents to Help Build Strong Families by "Pourenting."
The Dunphys may be America's funniest "Modern Family," but Claire and Phil take their role as parents very seriously. The comedic couple knows the importance of pouring one more serving of milk a day. Their goal is to build a strong modern family of their own and help fill the nation's nutrient gap. That's why Claire, Phil and family are the newest stars in their own Milk Mustache ad.
As mom to Haley, Alex and Luke, Claire wants to remind moms that they are role models for their families' food choices, and encourage them to set a positive example by pouring one more glass of lowfat milk for herself, as well as for each member of her family every day. Pouring everyone one more serving of milk when the family is together is a simple way to ensure no one misses out on milk's nine essential nutrients.
The ad copy reads, "Peerenting. Acting like a parent but talking like a peer might be Phil's philosophy, but when it comes to helping my kids get out of the nutrient gap, I need to be the grown up. So I pour one more serving of milk a day. It's something Phil likes to call 'pourenting'."

in Utah Valley, Utah County, Springville is about midway between the north and south borders of the county to
the east of Utah Lake at approximately 4,500 feet in elevation, at the
foot of the Wasatch Range.
of the most important features of the Springville location is Hobble
Creek, a stream draining the modest watershed of Hobble Creek Canyon.
Springs from both forks of the canyon feed the creek above what is now
the Hobble
Creek Golf Course, but irrigation keeps Hobble Creek from flowing
perennially. These springs and others north of town give Springville
its name, although it was first called Hobble Creek.
Americans of the Ute tribe occupied land in the well-watered valley.
They hunted and fished, but left no written record of their lifeways.
The first such record of these people is in journal entries of the Dominguez-Escalante
expedition, which left Santa Fe for Monterey in July 1776. The Spanish
fathers leading the expedition were delighted to find many Utes living
around Lake Timpanogotsis (Utah), and felt the Indians, including those
living on Hobble Creek, might be subject to their missionary efforts.

The atmosphere is clean, slightly modern, and just a little bit dressy. Service is excellent and the staff is willing to help in any way, which makes it great for families with special requests, picky eaters, or individuals with food allergies. This restaurant is a mellow retreat for delicious and healthy food.

Date: Thursday, May 10, 2018
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET
Cost: All T3e webinars are free of charge
PDH: 1.0 View PDH Policy
T3e Webinars are brought to you by the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Professional Capacity Building Program (PCB) of the U.S. Department of Transportation's (U.S. DOT) ITS Joint Program Office (JPO). The purpose of this webinar series is to provide a platform for students to share their research findings. References in this webinar to any specific commercial products, processes, or services, or the use of any trade, firm, or corporation name is for the information and convenience of the public, and does not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by the U.S. DOT.
Threats to cyber-physical systems are targeting institutions and infrastructures around the world, and the frequency and severity of attacks are on the rise. Industries considered the most lucrative targets for adversaries include healthcare manufacturing, financial services, education, government, and transportation. Hacking is about more than companies, organizations, and banks—it also affects transportation critical infrastructure (e.g., automotive systems and field devices).
The broadcast nature of communication protocols used in automobiles is the main root of vulnerability of cars being hacked. But how is it that advanced communication protocols are incapable of providing sufficient security to counter these attacks? A brief answer may be that the "backward compatibility requirement in automobile industries" hinders the possibility of using any advanced protocol layer (digital) solutions for enhancing their security. We target this problem using a strong alternative intrusion-detection method, which lies mainly in the analog domain. This method extracts the influence of manufacturing inconsistencies of devices on their output analog signal, so-called fingerprints, and identifies compromised devices in the car on the basis of these fingerprints.
In recent years, ITS field devices such as variable message signs (VMS) have been hacked with greater frequency. VMS hacks can include physical and remote breaches due to weak system protection. To better understand security attacks on VMS we undertake a risk-based approach to perform a qualitative vulnerability-oriented threat analysis, which aims to identify issues caused by adversaries exploiting ITS security vulnerabilities. One deliverable of the risk assessment will be the impact-likelihood matrix, which maps the adverse impacts of the threat events into a meaningful visual matrix. The result provides insights for system operators and decision makers to prioritize the risks of a VMS hacking event.
Upon completion of this webinar, the audience will have learned about:
The target audience includes transportation engineers, researchers, planners, decision makers, and individuals concerned with the consequences of a vulnerable transportation system.

The interconnections between the European and German economies and China's economy are stronger than ever before, and growing. The volume of trade with China has almost reached the same level as with the U.S., and investment in each other's economies was balanced for the first time in 2016. These changes give rise to discussions about competitive conditions. China has launched an ambitious "Made in China 2025" reform program to become a leading industrial and technological nation. The European Union, and German companies in particular, want to seize the opportunities, which means they need fair, reliable trading and investment terms.
The legal environment in China continues to present a challenge for European companies. There is still a long way to go before the political announcements – in both China and the EU – about being more open about free trade and investment and achieving a level playing field are put into action.
Many companies successfully operate in both economic areas, but require solutions for challenges that crop up in their day-to-day business
This is why we established the Executive Round Table China. Three times a year, we host this exclusive exchange of ideas between high-ranking Chinese, officials from national governments and the EU, and representatives of well-known companies. Direct dialog gives all participants the opportunity to address their challenges to the right contacts and establish their positions.
Together with our partners, we alternately hold this dialogue in Brussels and Berlin. We do this in pursuit of two objectives: to deepen the good relations between companies, the European Union and China, and to further develop mutual understanding of corresponding and differing interests.

My last blog was one of hope for the year to come. However during the period of Christmas and New Year extra demands were made on me and I found myself going outside of my energy envelope.
So now I`m in payback time. My level of health has deteriorated. It`s depressing to have gone backwards. It makes me wonder if I will ever truly recover. I know that sometimes we have no choice but to step outside our energy envelope but it`s so unfair that for a little extra enjoyment and pleasure we also suffer.
I read that 6th January is considered the most depressing day of the year.
Yet I would be glad to be going back to work! It makes me feel depressed and frustrated knowing that I`m not well enough to work. What`s more I`m unlikely to ever recover enough to do so. I would gladly swap my life if I could.
It makes me feel as if I`m alive but not living.
or going into a relapse.
A relapse seems to be more severe and there`s a completely new baseline going back to the past. Sometimes a relapse can last for years. I hope that`s not the case for me.
So I`m trying to rest and pace and hope that it doesn`t get worse or last long.
The CCC ( Canadian Consensus Criteria) describes PEM as usually lasting 24 hours or longer. The word 'relapse' doesn't appear anywhere in the CCC clinical case definition.
The ICC (International Consensus Criteria)uses the term Post-Exertional Neuroimmune Exhaustion (or PENE) instead of PEM. It describes PENE as usually lasting 24 hours or longer, but defines PENE broadly so as to include relapses.
I`m sorry if this blog is somewhat depressing. I am slowly fighting my way back and have not given up hope completely. I`m more hopeful and optimistic when I read what Invest in ME are doing at the moment. This is why a percentage of all the sales of my book are going to IiME.
