58条点评 “Mixed feelings”
Menu had VERY little on it and on top of that, they were out of most of the few things on it. We had just arrived in Exuma when we stopped here because we didn't see anything else open, wasn't yet familiar with our dining options and area, and we were hungry.
We basically had a choice of chicken wings...

I'd give this place more stars but it was under construction so only the terrace bar was open. The staff were incredibly friendly and the drinks were great. The renovations look exciting. They ordered us a boat home too which was nice of them. We had beers and gins. All drinks were good value and ice cold.

We took our boat to eat lunch here on two separate days while in Georgetown. The lunch is a nice change when you are wanting a change up from eating burgers and local food. The view is great from the patio and the wait staff is very attentive and friendly.

We have eaten about 6 times at the Yacht Club for lunch. They offer free Wifi and gives you a chance to check in if you need too. The view is lovely and they have a large sitting area with couches.

We had a late dinner here one night. The outside bar area is a neat place to have a drink. The inside is neatly decorated with each table and chair set being a different style (not mismatchy, but elegant). It was a bit warm inside with a minimal breeze. My whole group ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. Some ordered lobster on...

Ellen Fisher's Journal: Sweet sixteen
My oldest turned sixteen yesterday. She wanted to go to Busch Gardens and see the Miranda Cosgrove concert, so (after some whining from yours truly, who was having serious Crohn's issues and would have preferred just dropping her off instead) we all went in the afternoon. The concert was free, and they opened the gates at 4:00. We were there by 4:30, just in time to get a seat. Not long after that, the place was full up.
We sat in the blazing sun till six, when thirteen-year-old Greyson Chance performed (and the sun thankfully dropped behind the trees), and then Ms. Cosgrove came on stage from seven to eight. She was pretty good (I know some of her songs from stuff the daughter has loaded onto the iPod, so much of it was pretty familiar to me) with an enthusiastic, bouncy stage presence and a solid voice. The younger boy enjoyed the novelty of it all; the older boy read books the whole time. Both girls seemed to have fun.
After that, we walked across the park (with whining from Mom, but none from the kids:-) and watched the closing fireworks at 9:30, and then drove home. The traffic wasn't as bad as I feared, and we were home by 10:30 or so-- to the immense joy and relief of the dogs, who wondered where on earth we were all afternoon!

Mary Rose's Cafe: BLT Salad
Last week, I made a summertime dinner of BLTs, with a side of fresh from the the market green beans. I served it to the family on toasted whole wheat buns, and it looked pretty yummy. But I am steering away from a lot of bread products these days (watching my carbs), so I decided to turn mine into a salad.
This salad was so delicious! I think the secret was two-fold: I added a diced hard boiled egg, and I put the green beans right on top. Ah-mazing. I think we often get in a rut with salads, and they all end up looking the same...lettuce, tomato, blah blah blah. But when you add a few different fruit or vegetable combinations, it can really turn it into something special.
I don't know how you cook fresh green beans, but I decided to boil mine in a stock pot with chicken stock. And when they were done, I may have seasoned a bit with salt and pepper, Bragg's Nutritional Yeast, and a few bacon crumbles.
Fresh garden tomato, diced
And this is my dressing of choice these days. No sugar, no trans fats, and only a trace of carb.
There are a lot of BLT salad recipes out there...some easy, some complicated. But I thought this one was not only delicious, but good for me, too. Fiber, protein, healthy fats. It's all there.

I’m knitting again … | Thinking Aloud
I’m knitting again …
February 25, 2014 in Hobbies
This is my standard top down sock … and with the left overs from a 100g ball of wool, I can make a pair of children’s socks (toe up) and a square or two (each takes only 3 or 4g wool!) …
These are quite small … 2.5mm needles and 30 stitches across at the midpoint. I’ve no idea what I shall do with them, but if they do end up simply as a blanket, it will certainly be durable because of the wool/synthetic mix! Most of the sock wools machine wash, and many tumble dry, too. I don’t bother to try and remember which is which – I simply wait until I have a bundle of socks to wash, use the wool programme on my washing machine, then hang them to dry.
Top Down sock, size 5-6 foot
Using 3mm needles, and 4 ply sock yarn, cast on 64 stitches and knit k2p2 rib in the round (I use a long round needle and a ‘magic loop’, but the pattern adapts well to any method). Mark the end of a row with a short length of different coloured wool. Continue for 2 inches, then change to 2.25mm needles. Next row, knit all stitches … k14, k2 tog four times (60 stitches)
Knit until work measures 7 1/2 inches.
Divide for heel stitch
Knit 15 stitches. Turn. With yarn at front of work, slip 1k, p29. Turn. Leave remaining 30 stitches (top of foot) on another needle/stitch holder, and continue on these 30 stitches for the heel.
Row 1 – s1k1, repeat to end.
Row 2 – s1k, p to end.
Repeat 14 times, then knit row 1 again. Turn.
Row 1 – s1k, p16, p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 2 – s1k, k5, k2togtbl, k1, turn.
On the following rows, slip the first stitch of each row knitwise, p/k to one short of the gap (you’ll see what I mean!), p2tog/k2togtbl across the gap, p/k1, turn. Each row will pick up two more stitches until you have worked the full width of the heel. You should finish with a knit row.
Pick up 15 down the side of the heel, place a marker, knit across 30 stitches on the spare needle, place a marker, pick up 15 stitches up the side of the heel.
Knit round all stitches to second marker. This is now the beginning of your row.
Row 1 – k1, k2togtbl, k to last 3 stitches before marker, k2tog, k1 (to marker), k30.
Row 2 – k all stitches.
Repeat until you once again have a total of 60 stitches. Leave markers in place. Continue to knit until work measures 7 1/2 inches from heel shaping.
Row 1 – at the first marker – k1, k2togtbl, k to last three stitches, k2 tog, k1, repeat across remaining stitches (4 decreases in all).
Row 2 – knit all stitches.
Repeat these two rows until 20 stitches remain. Now repeat row 1 until 8 stitches remain. Break yarn. Using a bodkin, thread yarn tail through remaining 8 stitches. Pull tight and insert through centre to the inside of the sock. Fasten off.
For the children’s socks, knitted toe up (I use Judy’s magic cast on), I have a pattern for sizes from infant to adult … click on the link below. I do like starting toe first, but I prefer the tighter fit of the top down heel stitch for my own socks! The expert on toe up socks is Wendy Johnson, and this pattern is an adaptation of one of hers – toe up gussett socks all sizes (download).
For an alternative heel knitted either toe up or toe down, see Cat Bordhi’s Sweet Tomato Heel … I don’t like the loose fit on an adult sock, but it’s ideal for children as the heel is rounded and fits a growing foot without becoming tight.

Brotherhood: Dharma, Destiny, and the American Dream, by Deepak Chopra.
In Brotherhood, Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra reveal the story of their personal struggles and triumphs as doctors, immigrants, and brothers. They were born in the ferment of liberated India after 1947, as an age-old culture was reinventing its future. For the young, this meant looking to the West. The Chopra brothers were among the most eager and ambitious of the new generation. In the 1970s, they each emigrated to the United States to make a new life. Both faced tough obstacles: While Deepak encountered resistance from Western-trained doctors over the mind-body connection, Sanjiv struggled to reconcile the beliefs of his birthplace with those of his new home. Eventually, each brother became convinced that America was the right place to build a life, and the Chopras went on to great achievements—Deepak as a global spiritual teacher and best-selling author, Sanjiv as a world-renowned medical expert and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Homefires, by Emily Sue Harvey.
Her second novel, Homefires is set in the Deep South’s Bible-belt on the eve of unprecedented moral changes. It is the story of Janeece and Kirk Crenshaw, a couple married just after their high school graduation who set out to make a life for themselves. It is a life marked by surprises, none more dramatic than when Kirk receives his “high-calling” and becomes a pastor. It is a life marked by tragedy, the most heart-rending of which is the death of one of their children. And it is a life marked by challenges: to their church, to their community, and most decidedly to their marriage. And as the fullness of time makes its impact on their union, Kirk and Janeece must face the question of whether they have gone as far as they can together.
Filled with the rich emotions and evocative characters that readers have come to expect from Emily Sue Harvey, and reminiscent of the work of Jan Karon and Anne Rivers Siddons Homefires is a poignant and compelling novel that will steal readers' hearts.

The arm member having a camming means which interengages with an inclined surface of the punch retainer to move a punch into an active or inactive punch position.
What is claimed is: 1. A change-over ball lock punch retainer, including: a punch retainer having a punch, said punch retainer including a ball lock mechanism within said punch retainer for holding said punch; a retainer housing block having a passage formed therein for holding said punch retainer; a cylinder connected to said retainer block; an arm member connected to a bracket, said bracket connected to said cylinder, said arm member located within a passageway of said retainer housing block, said arm member slidably movable within said passageway of said retainer housing block, said arm member having a first camming surface and a second camming surface; said punch retainer having a first incline surface and a second incline surface which are slidably engagable with said first camming surface and said second camming surface of said arm member respectively.
2. The change-over ball lock punch retainer of claim 1 wherein said arm member slides in a first direction in said passageway and said first camming surface interengages with said first incline surface and moves said punch into an inactive position.
3. The change-over ball lock punch retainer of claim 2 wherein said arm member slides in a second direction in said passageway and said second camming surface interengages with said second incline surface and moves said punch into an active punch position.
4. The change-over ball lock punch retainer of claim 3 wherein said second direction is opposite said first direction.
5. The change-over ball lock punch retainer of claim 1 further including a spring in contact with said retainer housing block and said punch retainer.
6. A change-over ball lock punch retainer, including: a retainer housing block having a first passageway located on a top surface, said first passageway receiving an arm member, said retainer block having a second passageway, said second passageway receiving a punch retainer; a cover plate connected to a top of said retainer block, a backing plate in contact with said arm member; a cylinder connected to one end of said retainer block and connected to said arm member; a protective cover connected to an end of said retainer housing block; said punch retainer including a ball lock mechanism, said ball lock mechanism securing a punch within said punch retainer, said punch retainer placed within said second passageway of said retainer block; said arm member including a first camming surface, said punch retainer having a first inclined surface, said arm member sliding within said first passageway, said arm member having a second camming surface, said first camming surface interengaging with said first inclined surface to move said punch retainer.
7. The change-over ball lock punch retainer of claim 6 further including a second inclined surface on said punch retainer.
8. The change-over ball lock punch retainer of claim 7 wherein said second camming surface interengages with said second inclined surface to move said punch retainer into an active punch position.
The present invention relates generally to a punch retainer for use in a punch and die assembly, and more particularly to an automatic or programmable change-over ball lock punch retainer for use in a punch and die assembly.
Punch retainers have been used in punch and die assemblies for many years. The punch retainers retain a punch in the die shoe while the punch is moved to form an aperture in a sheet of metal. The punch retainers are used in combination with an upper die shoe and a punch press which can hold a plurality of punches for various jobs that place apertures in a sheet of metal. A typical die shoe for multiple sheet metal parts has a plurality of punches that are not needed for each particular metal stamping process. In that case gagging retainers as known in the art have been used to place a punch in an active position for stamping of the material or to recess the punch so that punch will not form its aperture in the metal stamping process. A typical example of a die shoe having a plurality of punches includes fifteen punches that are fixed in position and form an aperture every time the stamping process is completed along with five gagging retainer punches which are liftable and capable of being deactivated into a position such that an aperture is not formed in the stamping process.
Prior art gagging retainer systems have used spring biased means to physically lift a punch away from its proper punching position or used a toggle mechanism to lower the tool holder thus making the lower punching tool inactive with respect to the work piece positioning means. However, the prior art techniques springs were not very reliable and caused down time of the stamping process and the servicing of the prior art punches required basic disassembly of the press to remove the punch and service the punch. The prior art also did not actively confirm that a punch had been placed in its retracted position.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a punch retainer to overcome the above shortcomings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic or programmable change-over ball lock punch retainer.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a positive return ball lock punch retainer that does not use a spring for the necessary force to recess the punch.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a positive means for indicating that a punch has been retracted.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a change-over ball lock punch retainer that does not have to have the press disassembled to remove the punch and service the punch and/or change the punch type.
In order to achieve the foregoing objectives, an automatic or programmable change-over ball lock punch retainer according to the present invention is provided. The gagging punch retainer includes a retainer housing block, a ball-lock retainer with a hardened backing plate, a housing cover plate, an arm member connected to a pneumatic air cylinder, the arm member including a first camming surface and a second camming surface which interengages with a first incline surface and a second incline surface on a punch retainer which is placed within a passage of the retainer housing block.
One advantage of the present invention is that it has a positive return that does not require a spring to recess the punch.
A further advantage of the present invention is that it has a positive indicator showing when the punch has been retracted.
A further advantage of the present invention is that the press does not have to be disassembled to remove the punch.

BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S) Referring to FIG. 1 there is shown an automatic or programmable change-over ball lock punch retainer or gagging punch retainer 10, according to the present invention. A typical layout for a punch and die press includes an upper die shoe 80 that has approximately fifteen permanently fixed punches 82 which punch every time a metal stamping process occurs. Along with those approximately fifteen permanent punches 82 are approximately five punches 84 using gagging retainers 10 which allow for the punch 84 within the gagging retainer 10 to be recessed or moved into a non active punching position thus not creating an aperture into a piece of metal during a stamping operation. FIG. 10 shows a partial cross section of an upper die shoe 80 that includes two permanent punches 80 and two gagging punches 84 according to the present invention. In operation the punch is forcibly punched through a metal sheet into the lower die shoe (not shown) thus making an aperture within the metal or sheet metal being punched.
The automatic or programmable change-over ball lock punch retainer 10 includes a retainer housing block 12 which is connected to the upper die shoe 80 and allows for movement and a recessing of the punch 84 according to the operators inputs. The retainer housing block 12 includes a plurality of orifices (44, 46) for connecting the retainer housing block 12 to the die shoe 80. The orifices (44, 46) are preferable circular in cross section but may be any other shape or size necessary depending on the specific application. The retainer housing block 12 also includes a first passageway 48 which allows an arm member 22 to slide within the passageway 48 in a horizontal motion. The retainer housing block 12 further includes a second passageway 50 which is used to hold a punch retainer 28 and allow for a vertical movement of the punch retainer 28 through the passageway 50 and thus the retainer housing block 12. The retainer housing block 12 on one end also includes an orifice 52 for securing a protective cover 16 to the end of the retainer block 12 nearest the punch retainer 28 thus providing safety and keeping dust and foreign materials from contaminating the punch retainer 28. The protective cover 16 is generally U-shaped in cross section and is fastened to the retainer block 12 by a metal screw 18 or other appropriate fastener.
Connected to an end of the retainer housing block 12 opposite the dust cover 16 is a cylinder 14 which is preferably a double acting pneumatic cylinder, but it must be appreciated that any type of fluid, electrically controlled, or other mechanically controlled cylinder such as a screw mechanism, etc. may be used depending on the application necessary. The double acting cylinder 14 is connected to the end of the retainer housing block 12 via two or four screws 54 or any other capable fasteners. The double acting cylinder 14 includes an air controlled projection 26 that slides within the first passageway 48 of the retainer housing block 12. The sliding projection 26 is connected to the bracket 24 via a screw 56 or other appropriate fastener to an arm member 22. The arm member 22 is also held in the passageway 48 and is capable of sliding the entire length of the passageway 48. The arm member 22 slides back and forth through the passageway 48 depending on the motion of the projection 26 of the air cylinder 14 and thus is control by a pneumatic system connected to the air cylinder 14, via connectors 58, 60.
The arm member 22 as shown in FIGS. 6 through 9 generally has an L-shaped appearance from its top view, end view and its side view. On one end of the arm member 22 is an aperture 62 which is used to connect the arm member 22 to bracket 24 to the projection 26 of air cylinder 14 via a screw 56 or other appropriate fastener. The arm member 22 has a flat upper surface. The arm member 22 incudes a first camming surface 42 and a second camming surface 40 for use in moving the punch retainer 28, it should be noted that other cams and camming mechanisms may be used such as toggles, gears or any other type appropriate for this application. The first camming surface 42 is located on a downward projecting projection 64. The first camming surface 42 has a predetermined angle, the angle can be any appropriate angle necessary depending on the application being used. The first camming surface 42 is used to move the punch retainer 28 into a non active, non punching position. The arm member 22 also includes a second camming surface 40 which is on the bottom surface of the arm member 22. This second camming surface 40 is used to move the punch retainer 28 into is active, punching position. The arm member 22 also includes an abutting surface 66 on its bottom surface opposite the second camming surface 40 such that the projection 26 from the cylinder 14 is properly placed in relation to the arm member 22.
A punch retainer 28 is place vertically within the second passageway 50 of the retainer housing block 12. The punch retainer 28 includes a ball-lock retainer body 68 with an integrally connected back plate 64. The punch retainer 28 is similar to the one patented in my U.S. Pat. No. 5,038,599. The punch retainer 28 includes a spring 72 and ball 74 which interconnects with the punch 32 through the punch retainer 28. The punch 32 is held within the passageway by the spring 72 pushing the ball 74 into a locking position on the punch 32. The punch retainer 28 is moveable within the second passageway 50 in a vertical, up and down motion. The punch retainer 28 is capable of two positions within the retainer block 12. The first is the up or inactive position, see FIG. 2(a), and the second is the down or active punching position, see FIG. 2. The punch retainer 28 also includes on one side a projection member 86. The punch retainer 28 also includes a first incline surface 38 and a second incline surface 36.
The punch retainer 28 also includes two small circular orifices which are to hold a spring 30. The retainer housing block 12 also includes two circular orifices opposite the orifices of the punch retainer 28 for use in holding the spring member 30. The spring member 30 would be used to eliminate vibration drift of arm member 22 in the active position should the pneumatic air cylinder 14 lose air supply and also would be used to apply an urging force to the punch retainer 28 which would move the punch retainer 28 into its inactive or up position. However, it should be noted that the spring member 30 is not necessary for the punch retainer 28 to be moveable and capable of moving into its first and second positions. The gagging retainer 10 is a positive return member and thus does not need a spring to positively return the punch retainer 28 into its appropriate positions.
A backing cover 34 is connected to the top surface of the retainer block 12 to create a flat uniform surface between the top surface of the retainer block 12 and the top surface of the arm member 22 which slides within the passageway 48 of the retainer block 12. The backing cover plate 34 also serves as a stop for the punch retainer by not allowing the arm member 22 to flex in the vertical direction when pressure from the top surface of the punch retainer 28 is transferred during a stamping operation.
The automatic or programmable change-over ball lock punch retainer 10 also includes an indicator or other system capable of positively identifying that the punch is in its retracted position. It might be that a light is used to indicate that the punch is in its positive punch position or that it is in its inactive up position.
In operation, the first camming surface 42 of the arm member 22 comes into contact with the first incline surface 38 of the punch retainer 28 and the surfaces 38, 42 interengage with one another and forcibly move the punch retainer 28 in a upward direction thus putting the punch in an inactive punching position, see FIG. 2(a). The preferred movement of the punch 32 is approximately five sixteenths of an inch (eight millimeters) but can be anywhere up to one inch of movement upward away from the metal being punched. The punch retainer 28 is moved via the interengaging of the first camming surface 42 and the first incline surface 38 of the punch retainer 28 until the projection 26 has completely retracted itself into the pneumatic cylinder 14. When the operator would like to once again engage the punch 32 to be active during the stamping process he will program the pneumatic cylinder to slide its projection 26 out of its chamber. The sliding motion of the arm member 22 away from the pneumatic cylinder 14 will in turn have the second camming surface 40 of the arm member 22 engage with the second incline surface 36 of the punch retainer 28. This interengagement will force the punch retainer 28 in a downward vertical motion until the punch retainer 28 has been reset into its engaged punch position. This will then lock the punch 32 in place for the next stamping operation. Therefore, the operator is capable of having the punch active for a stamping operation or to deactivate the punch for another stamping operation depending on the needs of the sheet metal being stamped.
This new ball lock gagging punch retainer allows for a positive return of the punch retainer 28 without the use of spring biasing, in the past the springs have not been reliable as the means for biasing the punch retainer 28. It also allows for the quick service of the punches because the press will not have to be disassembled in order to service or fix a problem with the punch itself. To remove the punch a tool must be inserted in the punch retainer which releases the ball lock mechanism thus removing the punch without disassembling the entire unit from the punch press.
In another aspect, the invention comprises a method of manufacturing a stamped metal product having a plurality of apertures therein, said method comprising the steps: (a) of providing a stamping machine 81 (shown schematically in FIG. 10 to move the die shoe 80 up and down for a controlled punching operation) having die shoe and at least two punch retainers therein each of which is adapted to retain and hold a punch tool therein, at least one of said punch retainers being a change-over ball lock punch retainer, including a punch retainer having a punch, said punch held in a punch retainer passage that includes a ball lock and spring assembly for holding said punch and said punch retainer; a retainer housing block having a passage for slidably holding an arm member, said retainer block having a second passage for holding said punch retainer, said arm member having a cam means, said arm member being connected to a pneumatic cylinder for slidably moving said arm member within said passage; said punch retainer having an inclined surface means which interengages with said cam means to move said punch to an active or inactive punch position, (b) moving said die shoe in a direction to form and create said apertures in said metal product, (c) removing the stamped metal product from the stamping machine.

Aug 22, 2009 #Gnomedex 09 – Day 2 – Mark Glaser and Jim Ray – Hacker Journalists « Oren’s Weblogblog.orenblog.orgAug 22, 2009 Ten Rules for 5G Warfare - Umair Haque - HarvardBusiness.org Here are ten rules for fighting a 5G war. 1. Speed it up. Use tools that transmit information orders of magnitude faster: as close to real-time as possible. Your enemies use email. Use Twitter, Facebook, and iPhone Apps instead. 2. Microchunk it. Small resources, like messages, are more efficiently transmitted and utilized than big ones. Your enemies use lengthy, wordy messages — seriously inefficient communications. Try 140 character Tweets instead. 3. Meta-attack. You’re attacking with “facts.” But facts don’t matter, because your enemy doesn’t value information like you do. Life expectancy’s smaller in the States? So what — according to your enemies, you can’t trust facts from Cuba (or France). So you have to attack not with “facts”, but with meta-information about how to value facts. Start with meta-information about how to value insurance rationally — over a lifetime, not a day, for example. 4. Anti-defend. You can’t defend a centralized structure against a network attack in the traditional sense (just ask Twitter). But you can anti-defend against a network attack, by decentralizing your own resources to the edges — something that, in physical warfare, is a big no-no. When resources are spread and replicated across as broad, diverse network of your own as possible, if one node goes down, the others stay up. A few blog posts at Whitehouse.gov do not constitute a networked anti-defense — but a thousand every day across the WWW might begin to. 5. Darwinian counterattacks. What happens after a networked offense? A counter-attack: the remaining nodes link up, share resources, and then launch a portfolio of different counterattacks. The fittest ones — those most threatening to the enemy — survives. It’s like what hedge funds do, except it’s not lame. To enable a Darwinian counter-attack, you’ve got to offer suggestions, tools, and methods for a range of potential counterattacks. 6. Hack your enemy’s weapons. In a 3G or 4G war, you can’t hack the enemy’s guns, bombs, or knives. In a 5G war, you can hack the enemy’s information weapons — and that’s an often explosively powerful tactic. “Death Panels”? Call them “Life Panels” instead, explain that old Republican Senators already benefit from them — and enjoy your rise to the top of Google. 7. Normatize it. 5G warfare is problematic because we have no Geneva conventions to enforce norms of acceptable behaviour. And so anything goes. But it shouldn’t: a powerful tactic in 5G warfare is setting norms for what’s acceptable and what’s not. Discuss why smears and misinformation are unacceptable; make public and transparent who refuses to accept norms of good behaviour. 8. Self-organize hyperlocally. Reality Check is a good start — but it doesn’t enable self-organization. People should be able to self-organize into networks linked by the information you provide, so alliances form. These networks shouldn’t just be online, but offline - because in the real world, people have shared histories. They should be real-world networks that influence and counterinfluence hyperlocally: street by street, community by community. 9. Remix it. After self-organization comes the remix — just ask any bedroom DJ. You haven’t given people information in an easily remixable form, that they can distribute to others dependent on what is important at the time or to a given group of people. Making the info you provide microchunked and remixable, so it can be used and reused in more and more efficient ways. 10. Attack the base. This is a controversial tactic — but it’s often the key to winning a 5G war. Physical wars have to be fought on the front-lines. But information wars don’t. Your best bet is to attack not the enemy’s front-lines — Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Sarah Palin — but the base of hard-liners who still oppose reform — hard, swiftly, and repeatedly, with better information faster. via blogs.harvardbusiness.org Posted via web from krochmal’s posterous | Comment » Aug 22, 2009 BOOK QUOTES - Bellazonbellazon.comJust a bunch of affirming quotes.

Sticky Fingers Making Off With Jordan Stickers - tribunedigital-chicagotribune
August 11, 2000|By Ellen Warren & Terry Armour.
It remains to be seen how popular the soundtrack from the IMAX film "Michael Jordan to the MAX" will be when it's released later this month. But we do know some record store displays touting the upcoming disc, which features music from Earth, Wind & Fire, Fatboy Slim and the Alan Parsons Project, have become very popular.
Inc. hears record stores in New York and Los Angeles that put up early displays have given up trying to replace stickers featuring a silhouetted Jordan going up for a dunk. As frantic Jordan fans have discovered, the stickers can easily be removed from store windows.
Chapter III Records, which put together the compilation album, figured something like this would happen. "It's one of the reasons we made twice as many [stickers] as we needed," the record company's Sharon Liveten told Inc. "We assumed that people would think the logos are so cool, they'd snag them. "
As part of the current remodeling of the NikeTown on Michigan Avenue, the Jordan basketball court on the second level--a magnet for tourists--is being removed (parts will be sold or auctioned later).
But as part of the big makeover, the 3rd floor will be dedicated to female athletes and the 1st floor will celebrate regular everyday people. Those Chicagoans will be picked from photos they send of themselves at "play" to be used as part of a "Joy of Play" collage that will be permanently housed at the store. Send entries to NikeTown, 669 N. Michigan Ave., by Aug. 25. Winners will take part in the Nov. 17 unveiling of the revamped store.
Glenn Poshard, the former Democratic candidate for governor who lost to George Ryan in 1998, says he won't run for any office in 2002.
First he was the "Nutty Professor," then he was "Dr. Dolittle." Now Inc. hears Eddie Murphy is set for another remake, this time "The Incredible Shrinking Man." Director Pete Segal and producer Brian Grazer, who worked with Murphy on the "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps," are on board for Murphy's next project.
"The Sopranos: The Official Companion," is about to be published. The authorized book will include "FBI reports" on Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and the rest of his fictional crime family.
In the August issue of Today's Chicago Woman magazine, readers picked their favorite dating spots. Best place to meet Mr. Right? Hugo's Frog Bar. Best place to propose marriage? The Everest Room. Best place to break up? Navy Pier (huh?). Best place to hang out? Lincoln Park Zoo. Best place to make out? Just stay home.
It looks like Sam Mendes ("American Beauty") will direct Tom Hanks in the gangster flick "The Road to Perdition."
Remember earlier this week when we told you about the "Million Dollar Challenge," a sports-related game show produced locally by Intersport Television? Well, we have learned that for the pilot of the show, which will be shown nationally on Fox Sports Net beginning later this year, Kenosha's Dan Santarelli and Naperville's Kevin Nemetz have made it to the finals--for a possible shot at $1 million.
The Goodman Theatre will officially open its new North Loop theater complex on Nov. 9. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson, whose play "King Hedley II" will be the first production in the new theater, will make a special dedication at the ceremony.
"I've always had a killer bod. But it was a lot tougher dealing with guys chasing me when I was 16 than it is now. The advantage--and disadvantage--of being a star is that most guys are terrified of you. ... They just won't dare to even try to come up to you and flirt." That would be actress Cameron Diaz in the London Mirror, explaining the pros and cons of being a babe.
"I have already switched to American." That was Mayor Richard Daley, expressing his frustration at the debacle that has crippled passengers of Chicago-based United Airlines.
The Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts performs Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Loyola's Lake Shore Campus, 6525 N. Sheridan Rd. ... Sign up for the Sept. 16 Susan G. Komen 5k breast cancer race in Grant Park at chicagoraceforthecure.org. It's in Grant Park at 8:30 a.m.

Home » No Category » 13 Modern Minimalist Movie Posters by Matt Owen
It may take 120 minutes to tell a story, but it doesn’t take much more than a few bold, graphic images to tell viewers what the story is about. Graphic designer Matt Owen produces brilliant minimalist movie posters for classic and modern films using the most basic of elements in an incredibly clever way.
Choosing imagery that best sums up a film – like a map of the mall for Dawn of the Dead, a shower curtain rod for Psycho and carnival gates for Zombieland – Owen effortlessly captures the plot.
A single pair of cracked eyeglasses leaves no doubt as to which film it’s representing in the case of A Christmas Story. Others, conceived as diagrams, get just a tiny bit more complex while still providing as little information as possible.

I like the soft look it gave to the whole quilt.
By using the two fairly new charm packs in this vintage pattern, I didn't have quite enough squares for the border, so I followed Carrie's advice and used some of my background fabric in the border to make up the difference.

My Fit to Be Quarter ruler has been perfect for that.
Even with two trips in the past two weeks and guests visiting today, I had a bit of time to start quilting this one.

The fabrics I used are pretty close to the colors of the college our friend will be attending in the fall.
I love that there are three separate sections in this bag. I matched the lining of each section with the fabric below the zipper, but it would be fun to mix it up too.

Once I looked at what I had, I realized that the scraps I intended on using just didn't look near as nice as the fabrics from the Noteworthy line did, so I ordered the rest of the Noteworthy fabrics I needed to make the runner.
It had been awhile since I did much of that.
.......I had a hard time getting a nice picture of the whole thing.......
Maybe it's even reversible?
I used some of that fun text fabric on the back and I think I could even consider it a reversible runner.

Boxing Bets: Another Insider in the Boxing Game dies: Tony Rila
Another Insider in the Boxing Game dies: Tony Rila
Before seeing this news articles, Tony Rila was not a familiar name. He would have had some great stories to tell about boxing trainers and training methods of some of the great champions of the last decade. Boxing has many behind the scenes characters that we fans never hear about and some of them have some great stories to tell. Thankfully Angelo Dundee wrote a detailed and interesting biography of his time training Muhammad Ali and many other great fighters.......
Freddie Roach and Tony Rila
More sad news to report as we’ve learned that Las Vegas businessman and friend to boxing Tony Rila passed away last night in his sleep at the age of 66.
Tony was the owner of the state of the art IBA Gym where the biggest names in boxing trained for their Vegas megafights.
The gym was actually located in Tony’s backyard and Oscar de la Hoya, the Klitschkos, Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley and Ricky Hatton are just a few of the elite fighters who trained there.
Tony loved the sport of boxing and was well known as a collector of pugilistic memorabilia.
He was also an avid poker player.
Tony Rila passes

My interview with John Larson « Why Evolution Is True
« The New Yorker screws up big time with science: researchers criticize the Mukherjee piece on epigenetics
Euphemisms (or synonyms) for “God”: a history »
John Larson is a student at Portland State who’s just started a radio podcast called “Upstream.” The first guest was Asra Nomani (see below), and I was the second—interviewed just yesterday. You can hear the hour by clicking below. As always, I can’t bear to hear myself, but I know we discussed free will, the Authoritarian Left, evolution, and the Usual Suspects. Best of luck to John with his endeavor.
To hear Asra’s interview, click here. Once again I’m unwittingly conjugated with her, as we were on the MSNBC interview about whether ISIS is “real” Islam.

Listening now. Sound bites (mostly quotes) from first 15 minutes:
– “We’re not willing to animalize ourselves”
– “Human exceptionalism is pervasive”
– “The laws of physics apply to our brains”
– “Everybody in their hearts feels like they are agents with choices”
– “Free will is incompatible with the laws of physics: we cannot make choices”
– “Our actions are all determined by the laws of physics”
– “We cannot step outside of those factors [gene and environment] and influence our decisions”
– “We are all compelled to something, everything”
– Valid reasons for punishment: rehabilitation, deterrence, and sequestration
– Unenlightened reasons for punishment: retribution/revenge (like with capital punishment)
– “Recidivism rate in Norway 5% compared to like 75% in the US”

Off the top of the head, anyone know anything about computer-driven transcription software?
, a recent Wired article isn’t terribly optimistic sounding. On the other hand, there are signs of developments. The CMU page for the Sphinx system indicates news posts as recently as 23 April, and 6000 people caring enough to vote on which language model to devote more attention to. That’s a reasonably good level of activity.

Regarding “Free Will,” a question I’ve been wrestling with for some time is the following: how is it that in a deterministic universe which includes the human brain, determinism produces the phenomenon of having options and choices (albeit an illusion)? Why doesn’t determinism produced an awareness/consciousness of being determined? I have a glue or two as to why, but I would appreciate what you and others think about these questions.
I am not sure how to answer, except that our consciousness, wherein lies our illusion of choice, is always a little behind the curve of what is really happening. It is not only belatedly aware of stuff going on outside of ourselves after anything has happened, but it is also only aware of the ‘choices’ that it has ‘made’ after we have already committed to the choice. It really cooks my noodle thinking about that. But I am aware of thinking about it after I have already thought it….

“Why doesn’t determinism produced an awareness/consciousness of being determined?”
I don’t think this is true: people seem to have both compatibilist and incompatibilist intuitions.
See f.i. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~uctytho/dfwNicholsKnobe.html
If we look at the history of our species the illusion of freewill is used as a tool to manipulate and justify our behavior.
Posted May 6, 2016 at 7:34 pm | Permalink
leonkrier,
My answer to your question is based on what I’ve argued here before. (Hence, regulars can avert their eyes…)
“how is it that in a deterministic universe which includes the human brain, determinism produces the phenomenon of having options and choices (albeit an illusion)?”
Because it’s not an “illusion.” Even under determinism, we really are choice-making agents, and we still reason about which choices to make. Further, the mode of thinking when we are engaged in deciding what to do is NOT illusory: it’s a sort of “if/then” reasoning by which we can apprehend truths.
Take the example of driving home, and your gas is low and there won’t be enough to get you to work tomorrow. You have the choice of getting gas now, on the way home, or leaving it until tomorrow morning. What is the process like when deciding what to do? It’s going to be “based on the things I’m capable of” then “IF I do X, Y will likely be the result, but IF I do Y, then Z will be the result.” E.g. “If I don’t get gas, my car won’t make it to work.”
That’s apprehending a truth. And “IF I get gas now, I won’t have to get it tomorrow morning.” That’s thinning another true thought. And “IF I don’t get gas now, I’ll have to get it tomorrow morning, in rush hour.” That is yet again thinking another true thing about your situation. None of this is “illusory.” As you do this, you search your desires and goals – which action will fulfill the desire you have? If you have a stronger desire to just get home as fast as possible, then it’s true to think “Leaving it until the morning will fulfill my desire to get home faster tonight.” So you think about your desires, which one you feel like fulfilling the most, and then act on truths most likely to fulfill the desire. No “untrue” thoughts (insofar as you are not mistaken).
You can say the feeling of being able to take “either” route comes from the experience of mentally searching this space of possibilities, before hang committed to an action – “freely” exploring options. No the obvious urge from incompatibilists is to say “but it’s not really TRUE you could have taken either action.”
But the point is, the feeling of options being open isn’t, I argue, derived from incorporating some nonsensical “I am free from all causation and physics” because that is a useless input into the system and never features into our actual reasoning at the time.
Rather, the feeling of freedom derives from thinking true thoughts we use to search the if/then space in order to make decisions.
Why would a deterministic universe produce this way of thinking?
That seems pretty easy to me: it’s the only way thinking could make sense in a deterministic universe (and I’m not sure what type of thinking would occur in a non-deterministic universe…might be the same). Abstractions, not untruths but abstractions, would be necessary conceptual tools in any way of reasoning I can imagine.
We think of ourselves not as some frozen entity in one point in the universe, but as a construct through time, so we START with an abstraction that libertarian free will doesn’t really explain very well. And we use generalizations about “what we are capable of” combined with generalizations of “how the world seems to work in similar situations” in order to reason true understandings about how to navigate the world.
There, I’ve re-stated my position for 2016 and won’t have to for another year 🙂

A fascinating discussion, particularly on the topics of free will and determinism. It seemed from the way that you spoke, Professor that this was a subject which had occupied your thoughts for quite some time.I am wondering whether there may be earlier threads which set out your thinking in greater depth than was possible in the podcast? If so, could you identify or put them up again? I would also be interested to have your thoughts (if not already in these threads) on Roger Penrose’s work on these matters in “Shadows of the mind” and the earlier book “The Emperor’s New Mind” (1997 & 1994) Penrose postulates that consciousness may be in some way mediated through quantum processes without, I may say, much of what could be called proof. Has Penrose done any more work on this over the past 20 years to your knowledge? Are you aware of any rigorous rebuttal of his thoughts, either in book or article form?

Fast, Cheap and Under Control: When Life Gives You Pumpkins...
... Make Shortcut Pumpkin Curry!
The pumpkins we didn't carve for Halloween ended up staying on our front porch through Thanksgiving. When the Christmas decorations came out, I decided to put the pumpkins to good use with a spicy, creamy vegetable curry. I have made my own curry before, but didn't have all the spices on hand to do it this time around, so I took a shortcut, and used a Trader Joe's simmer sauce that had been languishing in the cupboard for a couple of months. Just between you and me? The jarred, shortcut curry was every bit as flavorful, and much less time consuming, as the homemade version.
Prep Time: 60 minutes (45 of which is baking time, don't panic!)
Cook Time: 20 minutes (or more, if you want to simmer slower and longer)
Ingredients: 8-10 (depending how many veggies you want to incorporate)
Veggies of your choice (cauliflower, small waxy potatoes, green beans, chickpeas, broccoli, sweet potatoes, squash, etc.)
1 cups veg stock, or to taste
To roast the pumpkin (a sugar pie pumpkin is best):
Preheat oven to 350. Slice pumpkin in half, and remove guts. Lay pumpkin halves face-down in a baking dish, and pour 2 tbsp water over each. Bake at least 40 minutes, until fork-tender, but not mushy. Remove skin from pumpkin halves and cut into large cubes. Set aside.
In a large, heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven, sautee the onion in 1 tbsp oil, then add veggies. Cook about 5 minutes. Add curry sauce and coconut milk. Simmer on medium/low until veggies are tender, then add pumpkin. Simmer about 10 more minutes. Add stock to thin sauce, or not (I didn't). Serve with hot, cooked brown rice as a main dish, or as a side dish with baked chicken strips, to curry-hating little ingrates who may or may not try a "no thank you bite," then declare it "too spicy!"

They say in life, do it at your own pace and own time. Pretty works for everything too – even writing. Nonetheless, you are an inspiration to new writers like me.Way to go!😄
Thank you so much, Leslie. Best of luck with your writing!
Welcome and thanks for responding. More writings to see from your latent files.
Speaking my language. You’d be surprised how many writers share your experience of “latent” files. Thankfully, I can’t count either; it keeps me from despair. Keep on
Thanks, Nina. I’m really enjoying your website! Let’s toast to not counting, and to emerging.

I honestly think this blog was one of the most perfectly worded works I’ve read anywhere in my entire life. It perfectly phrases what I secretly told myself was a secretly typo of thoughts no one else on Earth could possibly have been consumed with EVER!! Thank you for describing what I always considered a curse hand-crafted for just myself. I love this piece and look forward to reading many more magnificent writings from you.
Wow, thank you, Rachel. You’ve made my day! So glad it resonated with you.
Melissa!! Hi! I’ve been trying for days to figure out how to respond to you, duh!! I adored everything in your article. Have you ever read “Alone” by Poe? I think it’s particularly fitting for our insecurities and disorders. There was always a “demon in my view”. I think it gets better with age;) GOSH, I hope so!!

Thank you for giving me permission to tuck away all the drafts that refuse to solidify into anything presentable. They will go into a new file freshly labeled latent. Such a promising word.
My pleasure! It was a real gift to find that word as I reached the end of my revisions of this piece, Susanne.
Thank you for this honest piece. Even though it’s not sentimental, it feels like a piece of your heart, speaking to mine. I’m a slow writer.
The writings in your latent file remind me of a cocoon: many of those pieces will emerge as crazy-beautiful butterflies. Some might not make it, which happens sometimes with real-life cocoons. But the ones that are meant to, will.
Reading this gave me an idea for how to amend a strange flash non-fiction I wrote that hasn’t been accepted anywhere yet.
I have the links you included open as I write this, and will go to them next. Thank you.
Thank you, Tricia, for this lovely expansion of my ideas. I’m so glad you’ve come up with something new for your own piece. And special thanks for your lovely response to “Red Birds.”
Thank you, Melissa! I have drawers like yours. Your piece is such a great reminder that doing the work is what matters, even if your words are stashed on some mysterious cloud.
Today’s re-blog gives great insight into being willing to pare down one’s writing… Whether it’s from 110,000 words to 50,000 or from 1,600 words to 700…
