In Consciousness Explained, Daniel C. Dennett reveals the secrets of one of the last remaining mysteries of the universe: the human brain. Daniel C. Dennett's now-classic book blends philosophy, psychology and neuroscience - with the aid of numerous examples and thought-experiments - to explore how consciousness has evolved, and how a modern understanding of the human mind is radically different from conventional explanations of consciousness. What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but 'multiple drafts' of reality composed by a computer-like 'virtual machine'. Dennett explains how science has exploded the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, the problems posed by qualia, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures. 'Brilliant ...a torrent of stimulating thought' Richard Dawkins 'Revolutionary of the most mentally agile, intellectually resourceful books you are likely to read' Guardian 'A masterful tapestry of deep insights ...Dennett has written a profound and important book that is also clear, exciting and witty' Douglas R.Hofstadter, author of Godel, Escher, Bach 'Extraordinary ...supremely engaging and witty' Independent 'Dennett's exposition is nothing short of brilliant, the best example I've seen of a science book aimed at both professionals and general readers' The New York Times Book Review Daniel C. Dennett is one of the most original and provocative thinkers in the world. A brilliant polemicist and philosopher, he is famous for challenging unexamined orthodoxies, and an outspoken supporter of the Brights movement. His books include Brainstorms, Brainchildren, Elbow Room, Breaking the Spell, Darwin's Dangerous Idea and Freedom more

Review Text

Maybe not explained. But explored, analyzed, examined from an extraordinarily rich perspective. Here, as in other philosophical work (Elbow Room, 1984, etc.), the Director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts Univ. states that he aims to dethrone the "Cartesian Theater" of the mind - that central screen with its implied "Central Meaner" who attends to the "contents of consciousness": the ghost in the machine with all its implied infinite regress and mind/brain dichotomy. Instead, Dennett posits "multiple drafts" of the real world, the product of parallel processing of perceptual and cognitive subsystems compiled by independent "demons" vying with each other, with now one or another gaining ascendancy - the whole a form of "pandemonium" that results in consciousness. In arriving at this model, Dennett reviews the extensive literature of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, neurology, cognitive psychology, speech and language studies, thought experiments, and the philosophical tradition itself. This discourse is well worth the price of admission to Dennett's own theater of the brain: He is a gifted expositor with a marvelous sense of humor, and, typical of philosophers, ever eager to persuade, answer the reader's objectives, and strike down rival theories. Does he succeed? Not completely. One suspects that metaphors based on artificial intelligence, "virtual" machines, and computer technology are just this culture's mind-set at this time. Dennett also pays scant attention to the role of emotions (in comparison to Robert Ornstein, see below), nor for that matter to the emerging concept that the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems should be considered in any schema of consciousness. Nevertheless, Dennett's analysis is so often brilliant, so witty, and so informed by contemporary culture as to make pleasurable the reading of what is truly a complex and demanding text.

My most favorite thing to do on a hot sunny day is Cliff jumping! it's lots of fun and swear you'll never regret doing it. At first it's pretty scary, but after the first jump I was hooked. I begged my dad, cousin, and my sister for a ride to rock mill which is just outside Circleville in Ohio!
My top favorite games I've played so far for X-box would have to be:
Tenchu Z: I love this game because you get to be a Ninja and it's all about stealth, It's fun and I'm close to beating it.
Fable lll: It's a really fun game. You get to play as a Prince or Princess and you have to save your Kingdom from your brother and become king or Queen. You have to make tuff choices in that game life, your first choice is when you're punished for interrupting your brother and he makes you choose to either have your love interest killed or the villagers. Your love interest will contently ask you to pick him/her over the villagers. (I've already beat it)
Dragon age: I really love this game!!! Yes it's filled with lots of blood, but anyway you can pick to be a Human, Elf, or Dwarf. Your classes to pick from are Warrior, Mage, and Rouge. (I've beat the game as a human, now I'm playing it as an Elf)
Sims lll pets: OMG! It's the best Sims game yet! (In my opinion) You can do pretty much anything. I got my inventing skill up and I blew up a rich guy's chairs and stuff and he wasn't too happy about that and kicked me out of his house, but I blew up his car before going home. It made my day that's how funny it was.
I live in Ohio
I had a cat named Tiggy but he disappeared a week before I moved to my new house I miss him so much! I have a Pug named Brutus, and I used to have a really fat dog that is half Weiner dog and half something else. Her name is Bay Bay. but I no longer have her because she lives with my aunt.
I hate the color pink
I'm a bit of a tom boy
Just to tell you I don't take crap from no one
I can be nice as long as your nice back
I'm willing to have a chat if any one wants too
I hate when no one leaves any comments on my writing or is not honest about how they like it or disliked it
If you hate my work then tell me I'm not afraid to get shot down because that helps me try harder at becoming a
Novelist. Being a Novelist has been my dream since I first read a Novel.

SYMHM: No-Reason-to-Panic Edition

by Borderstan.com — August 24, 2011 at 9:50 am 1 Comment

Borderstan, 14th Street NW, Luis Gomez Photos

14th and S Streets NW: Borderstan-area workers head home early following the earthquake that hit the D.C. region at 1:51 pm on Tuesday. The sidewalks and streets were clogged around 3 pm. (Luis Gomez Photos)

From Michelle Lancaster. You can follow her and  tell her your news on Twitter @MichLancaster. Email her at [email protected].

Whole Lot-a-Shakin’ Going On

No one missed the earthquake yesterday, I’d imagine. In case, for some reason, you’ve been under a rock, the region experienced a mild earthquake at 1:51 pm. yesterday. It caused quite the stir from a population that has lived through 9/11 and one mess of an Obama Inauguration festivities — but then again, we’re more accustomed to political upheavals than seismic ones. Check out The Post‘s coverage of the quake’s impact on the workday and also what is being done in the ‘aftermath.’

More Frozen Stuff, More Stuff from NYC

Sigh. Do we really need another New York food transplant? In this case, Tasti-D-Lite is showing up in D.C. soon. Washington City Paper reports the chain will open first in Dupont Circle, with a location to follow in Columbia Heights. At least it’s low cal, I guess.

Drink Locally, Too

WTOP has an interesting story on the development of the ‘drink local’ movement beginning in D.C. as new breweries are emerging in the district. For those who still think of the Big Hunt as a dive bar with a great secret roof deck, well, you’re still right. But it’s also the home of Dave Coleman, bar manager and owner of 3 Stars, one of the local breweries. If you eat at the Farmer’s Market and try to eat locally, go find yourself a DC Brau or 3 Stars beer already!

Ticketgate Drags On

Councilmember Jack Evans continues to address charges that he misused a ‘constituent fund’ for sports tickets, rather than constituent services. The discussion has quickly gotten a bit heated, as some see tickets given to constituents as counter to the fund’s intent and some object to the existence of the fund in the first place. For a more measured article on the mess, check out this one in Georgetown Patch. (Note: Borderstan was given two tickets by Evans’ office to the Washington Nationals Fan Fest after providing assistance for the City Council At Large candidate debate on March 29. The tickets were not used.)

Speaking of Georgetown…

The influx of new students to D.C. universities always provides some interesting fodder. This Georgetown list of neighborhoods and what to do in the new town. Vox Populi, the student blog, instructs students to ignore the bad stories they were told about D.C. having no good live music venues. Funny, I thought 9:30 Club was rated in the Top 5 venues in the U.S. recently. I guess I’m too far outside the ‘bubble.’ Sidenote: Am I the only one surprised to see Georgetown kids heading to Black Cat?

Comments (1)

  1. no, you’re not the only one surprised georgetown kids go to the black cat, you’re just another one who latches on to a far too predictable generalization.

Leaders express hope fiscal cliff will be averted

Pelosi expects deal by Christmas; tax rates still biggest hurdle

Get Boston Globe's Political Happy Hour newsletter, your afternoon shot of politics, sent straight from the desk of Joshua Miller.

WASHINGTON — Top congressional leaders emerged from a meeting with President Obama at the White House on Friday trying to project bipartisan confidence that they would break through gridlock to avert a potential economic catastrophe triggered by budget cuts and increased taxes.

Following an hourlong meeting at the White House, the four top congressional leaders stood by one another outside the West Wing, taking turns calling the meeting “very constructive.’’ Stocks on Wall Street briefly surged, with renewed optimism that a chief economic roadblock would be removed.

“It was good,’’ said House minority leader Nancy Pelosi. “I feel confident that a solution may be in sight.’’

Both sides seem to be looking at the same roadmap — Republicans now concede that they will agree to increase tax revenues, and Democrats say they will agree to more spending cuts — but they are still divided over which route to take.

And despite the show of solidarity, no substantive progress was revealed after the meeting. Major disagreements center on whether tax rates will rise for the wealthiest Americans. Obama has insisted that he wants rates for families making $250,000 or more to return to Clinton-era levels, which means they would go from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. Republicans have adamantly opposed any changes to the rates, saying they instead want to close loopholes or limit tax deductions to raise revenues.

Congressional aides will now turn to the difficult task of trying to hammer out a deal. Obama is heading out on a four-day diplomatic trip to Asia on Saturday, and Congress is in recess next week. But negotiators plan to meet through the week, and Pelosi said a deal should be in place before Christmas.

The session was the first time in six months that all four leaders had gathered at the White House. House Speaker John Boehner said that he presented a “framework’’ that would both cut spending and reform the tax code.

“To show our seriousness, we’ve put revenue on the table as long as it’s accompanied by significant spending cuts,’’ said Boehner, an Ohio Republican.

An aide later said that Boehner called for tax and entitlement reform to be tackled over the next year, since the issues are too complex to solve over the course of the next few weeks. Instead, he wants the initial agreement to include specific targets for savings and for tax reform changes, with details to be worked out in 2013. That approach is similar to a two-step process Obama outlined at his press conference Wednesday.

If no deal is made by the end of the year, tax rates for everyone will increase to the levels they were about a decade ago, before President George W. Bush signed a series of tax cuts. At around the same time, cuts in federal spending, including the military, will be enacted as part of Congress’s budget deal in 2011.

Economists contend such a one-two combination would send the soft economy reeling, leading to job losses and drops in consumer and business spending. The effect would be felt throughout the nation.

Massachusetts officials estimate that state tax collections alone could decline by $300 million in the first six months of 2013 and another $1 billion in the fiscal year beginning July 2013. Spending cuts would strip away millions of dollars in grant funding for local communities — in the middle of their current fiscal years — with no way to make it up.

Those initial grant cuts for Massachusetts communities include $18.2 million for schools, $21.2 million for special education, $7.3 million for community development block grants, and $11.2 million for LIHEAP, the federal heating fuel assistance program for low- and middle-income families.

The state’s private-sector economy also would suffer from a reduction of about $1.5 billion in defense and health spending, according to state estimates.

Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray met with city and town officials this week and discussed the potential consequences.

“It would have a pretty devastating impact, really across the board,’’ Murray said Friday in a phone interview.

In the aftermath of the election, both sides have been posturing and outlining their own prebargaining positions. Obama has demanded that any deal include $1.6 trillion in tax increases for the wealthiest Americans, something Republicans oppose.

Republicans say they are willing to make tax code changes that would result in higher payments for the wealthy, but they are more focused on cutting costs among the large entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

But at least for one day, a sense of solidarity replaced the bitter divisiveness that broke into the open during the last round of fiscal talks in 2011.

“We had a very constructive meeting,’’ Boehner said.

“I think it was a very constructive meeting,’’ Senate majority leader Harry Reid said.

A few seconds later, Pelosi, too, declared, “It was a very constructive meeting.’’

Speaking last, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said, “I can only echo the observations of the other leaders that it was a constructive meeting.’’

White House spokesman Jay Carney later released a statement saying it was a “constructive meeting’’ and added, “we will continue a constructive process.’’

Outside observers say there is reason for optimism.

“Should we be concerned? Yes,’’ said Cornelius Hurley, director of the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law at Boston University. “But I’m a lot more confident now than I was in the midst of the 2011 debacle that they will get to a resolution.’’

The negotiations could set the tenor for the start of Obama’s second term. They could signal months of acrimony or set the stage for a series of bipartisan agreements. Republicans lost seats in the House and Senate and were unable to win the White House. But they still control the House and have the numbers needed to stop legislation in the Senate.

Obama has been more assertive than he was in past negotiations, pledging that he would not agree to any deal that allows tax rates for the wealthy to stay as they are. He is also preparing to take his campaign outside Washington in the coming weeks, trying to use his election win as a rallying cry.

“That’s an agenda that Democrats and Republicans and independents, people all across the country share,’’ Obama said at the beginning of the Friday meeting. “So our challenge is to make sure that we are able to cooperate together, work together, find some common ground, make some tough compromises, build some consensus, and to do the people’s business.’’

Just as the meeting began, when reporters were ushered in for photos, Obama remarked playfully that Boehner’s birthday is Saturday.

“We didn’t make him a cake because we didn’t know how many candles we’d need,’’ Obama said.

As they laughed and shook hands, Boehner, who is turning 63, said, “Yeah, right.’’

Obama later gave Boehner a bottle of Tuscan red wine. The bottle of 1997 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Altero retails for about $125.

Game 29: Bruins at Sabres

BUFFALO — Good afternoon from HSBC Arena, where the Bruins tonight take on the Sabres, their old Adams Division brethren. This is the third of six Northeast Divisional tilts between the clubs. The Bruins are 2-0-0 in the series thus far, squeezing out a 3-2 OT win in their most recent meeting. Figure Tuukka Rask in net tonight for the Bruins. Following a very brief morning workout, Rask was the first goalie to head for the dressing room, joining the likes of David Krejci, Mark Recchi and Shawn Thornton.

Puck drop: 7 p.m.

Record: Sabres, 12-14-4 — 28 points, Bruins, 16-8-4 — 36 points.

TV/radio info: NESN (Jack Edwards, Andy Brickley, Naoko Funayama), 98.5 The Sports Hub (Dave Goucher, Bob Beers)

Projected lineup:Milan Lucic-David Krejci-Nathan Horton
Blake Wheeler-Patrice Bergeron-Mark Recchi
Daniel Paille-Marc Savard-Michael Ryder
Brad Marchand-Gregory Campbell-Shawn Thornton

Zdeno Chara-Johnny Boychuk
Dennis Seidenberg-Steven Kampfer
Andrew Ference-Adam McQuaid

Tim Thomas
Tuukka Rask

Healthy scratches: Tyler Seguin.

Coach Claude Julien says he will have to make a game-time decision on whether to go with Paille or Seguin, but he sounded as if he were leaning toward Paille, the ex-Sabre. ”This is probably my toughest decision in a long time,” said Julien. ”Either way, I am going to win and I am going to lose.”

Update: Scratch Seguin. Paille plays. Both Seguin and Paille skated in the pre-game warmup. Seguin and Brad Marchand were the last two Boston skaters to leave the ice at the end of warmups. Shortly after the warmup ended, a team spokesman said Seguin would sit and Paille would play

In other words, Julien knows that both players want to suit up, and the guy who sits is going to feel slighted. If Seguin has to sit, noted the coach, ”It’s an 82-game schedule…I don’t think it will kill him.”…Rask is a meager 2-6-1 thus far, but he won his last outing, a 5-2 triumph over the Islanders. Rask has yet to make back-to-back starts this season and that’s not likely to start this week–look for Thomas to get the nod against both the Canadiens (tomorrow night) and Caps (Saturday on Causeway Street)….Defenseman Adam McQuaid, dumped head-long into the boards by the Flyers’ Jody Shelley on Saturday, reports that he is feeling none the worse for wear. ”Just had the wind knocked out of me, and that took a little while to recover,” said the towering rookie. ‘No big deal.”…The club’s charter flight was denied access to the Buffalo-Niagara airport late Tuesday afternoon because of weather conditions (it snows here in the winter and people are forced to wear hats and gloves). After some 20 minutes of circling over Rochester Airport, some 50 miles to the east, the flight finally was allowed to land at a little-used airport in suburban Buffalo, closer to Niagara Falls.

Would you like to take in a show while you’re in our area? From high energy shows like The Haygoods to the awe-filled experience created by Legends in Concert, Branson has something for everyone. Magicians for the family, rock ‘n’ roll, country, family harmonies, comedy, variety, dinner shows, gospel, and well-known performers that play limited engagements. You may not have known that Branson has more theater seats than Broadway.

We have some wonderful museums and attractions. You can take your family to play miniature golf, enjoy go-carts, water parks, and history museums. You can see the Veteran’s Museum and even stop at the famous College of the Ozarks.

And of course you need a place to stay, whether it be camping or in one of our wonderful Branson hotels. We have cabins, bed and breakfasts, motels, 5-star hotels, lodging with a convention center, condos, and camping. You can relax on a piece of property snuggled in our beautiful Ozarks, and you can choose the price that will fit your family budget.

One of the many reasons to come to Branson is our shopping. It is so much fun! We have those unique areas that have all the Ozark-flavor shops, and of course we have outlets for those that are always looking for bargains. Our historic downtown shopping is delightful, and we have even added a new shopping area, Branson Landing, on the water front. There are many nooks and crannies around town where you’ll find an unexpected treasure, so keep your eyes open for that one unique item you want to take home.

We cannot fail to mention our golfing. Many do not know of the quality of golf courses that are here in Branson. There are golf pros to help perfect your swing, par-3 courses to 18-hole championship courses, and some of the best pro shops in the Midwest.

Our three lakes are breath-taking and the fishing is for the whole family. We have bass, trout, catfish, walleye, and places to rent a fishing boat, ski boat, or a house boat on which you can watch the sunset at the end of the day.

One thing is for certain, we have FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!! Buffets, fast food, slow food, family restaurants, steaks, fish, food with music, outside restaurants, waterfront restaurants, gourmet restaurants with linen napkins with delicate wines and beautifully arranged food. It’s a lot of fun to eat in Branson, even if you just want coffee or an ice cream cone for the kids.

Now why wouldn’t you come to Branson? It’s a family destination with something for everyone. There is not one area in the United States that can beat the hospitality and friendliness that is shown throughout the beautiful Ozarks.

We’ll see you soon!

A reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate at the ruins of Babylon, near modern Al-Ḥillah, Iraq.
one of the most famous cities of antiquity. It was the capital of southern Mesopotamia (Babylonia) from the early 2nd millennium to the early 1st millennium bce and capital of the Neo-Babylonian (Chaldean) empire in the 7th and 6th centuries bce, when it was at the height of its splendour. Its extensive ruins, on the Euphrates River about 55 miles (88 km) south of Baghdad, lie near the modern town of Al-Ḥillah, Iraq. History Though traces of prehistoric settlement exist, Babylon’s development as a major city was late by Mesopotamian standards; no mention of it existed before the 23rd century bce. After the fall of the 3rd dynasty of Ur, under which Babylon had been a provincial centre, it became the nucleus of a small kingdom established in 1894 bce by the Amorite king Sumuabum, whose successors consolidated its status. The sixth and best-known of the Amorite dynasts, Hammurabi (1792–50 bce), conquered the surrounding city-states and raised Babylon to the capital of a kingdom...

While hotels in Moscow may not be Europe’s cheapest, we have carefully selected a good range of accommodation to suit all budgets nonetheless.

The affordable Holiday Inn Moscow Sokolniki makes up for a less central location by being directly opposite a metro station and having a larger than average swimming pool. Across the Moscow River, the four-star Park Inn Sadu has spacious but more neutrally decorated rooms and a location very near the Tretyakov Gallery’s Russian art collection. On the river bank itself is the landmark contemporary tower of the Swissotel Krasnye Holmy, which has city-wide views from its summer terrace and the rooftop City Space Bar, large rooms and a lavish futurist décor in public areas. And if you’re looking for luxury the five-star Ritz Carlton Moscow has a plush 19th century style décor in its rooms and lobby and a space age look in its rooftop O2 lounge, which has superb views of Red Square and the Kremlin.

Dual Functionality or You Lubed WHAT with My Beard Oil?

July 20, 2013

Dual Functionality or You Lubed WHAT with My Beard Oil?

Never Leave Home Without Beard Oil Samples

I never leave home without my beard oil samples

Dual Functionality.

Say it out loud. Say it slow… Go ahead, no one’s listening... Now say it like you mean it.

 Dual Functionality

Even if you aren’t exactly sure what it means, you have to admit it sounds pretty rad.

Dual functionality is a masterpiece of a verbal construction used to describe an object’s ability to serve (useful) purposes beyond its original intent.

“In the event of an emergency your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device.” Dual functionality.

Hydrogen peroxide can be used to disinfect water for drinking and bleach hair. Dual Functionality.

The idea is that an item’s value increases exponentially when it can be used to fill more than one consumer need.

An epoch ago, while I was still slap in the thick of my undergraduate identity crisis, one thing I learned sticks out in my mind:.

An apartment kegger was drawing to a blur when I found myself advising some poor drunk poli-sci major about how he should deal with the agony of the toothache he’d been crying about.

Just as I was catching my stride in a no-doubt rigid, probably pedantic treatise on the preventative benefits of proper oral hygiene, a beacon of pragmatic truth and hard-boiled ingenuity walked up. His name was Raheem Gray.

“Yo I had a bad toothache one time,” he said. “Somebody told me to put some cocaine on it, and maaan, that shit didn’t hurt for two years.”

Dual functionality.

I stood silently—my monologue rendered moot---and had an epiphany: I hadn’t been put on this earth to simply brush, floss, swish and conform! Life wasn’t always about following directions and adhering to predetermined customs, oh no! To the contrary, in that moment life was obviously about finding out what works for you and making your own rules. Forging paths. Blazing trails.

So this has been my approach to many things since that fateful night; it is certainly the angle from which I continue to negotiate the lofty subject of men’s grooming. People will tell you there are Do’s and Don’t’s. You’ll read from “credible” sources that there are absolute truths. And maybe they’ll work for you. But maybe they won’t.

Have you seen the detailed and painstaking DIRECTIONS FOR USE I’ve written to go along with every product on the Brooklyn Grooming site? Aren’t they authoritative and informative? Well, ignore them!

Since I became a part of the Brooklyn Grooming machine, I’ve been playing around with these products non-stop, and I’d like to let you in on a few secrets of FUNCTIONAL DUALITY that I’ve discovered, if I may.

1.      For starters, Mckenzie once referred to the Brooklyn Grooming line as “functional colognes.” (With the exception of the Commando line of course, she was absolutely right.) The hand-mixed formulas and top-secret recipes work wonders for the skin and hair, but the fragrances alone would be enough. I definitely rub Williamsburg Beard Balm onto my wrists, below my ears and into the crooks of my elbows (the pulse points) when I want a fragrance refresher.

2.      Sometimes my hair is light and obedient. Occasionally it is heavy and unruly. We’ll call the latter a bad-hair day. On these days, the Brooklyn Grooming Old School Pomade I usually swear by simply won’t cut it. So I take equal parts pomade and BG Mustache Wax, work them together into a super-pomade with much more hold than the pomade alone. Presto: a good-hair day.

3.      Now the following should only be attempted in cases of emergency (e.g. your wedding photos, a job interview, a blind date, your youtube debut, etc.). The casual practitioner of “men’s grooming” may even find this suggestion unsettling. But hey, I'm out here in the trenches so you wont have to be! In basic color theory we learn that green neutralizes shades of red. If you are prone to break-outs, or if you have the occasional smattering of pink spots/patches on your face, AND you care enough to bother concealing their blatant noticeability, then I have the answer for you, friends. BG Old School Pomade has the texture of a waxy, thick paste. AND it happens to be green. Take a small piece of pomade and lay it over your blemish, smoothing the edges so that they blend into the surface of the skin. Give it a couple of minutes to set, then smooth over a cheap tinted BB Cream to match your skin tone and the redness will have totally vanished as the green renders the red invisible, due to science. Think of it as a spackle job when you need a quick fix.  Rest assured, tinted BB Creams are not make-up. They’re just moisturizing sunscreens with a little pigment for even color saturation.

4.     A. One of my personal missions as a Men’s Grooming Consultant is to free the modern man from his shampoo addiction. Perhaps you’ve noticed a tweet here and there regarding the shackles of shampoo from which I would like all men to break free. Shampoos are usually chock full of chemical agents and detergents that produce a rich, foamy lather but remove all traces of natural body grease (sebum) from the hair. What you’re left with is a straw-like mop-top that has been stripped of clarity, body and natural movement. AND THESE SHAMPOO BOTTLES HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY “LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT.” Bullshit. Repeat at your own risk.

      B. Now, if you feel that you need shampoo everyday because your hair is that oily, hear me out. Remember back in Skincare 101 how we talked about the face producing too much oil in response to our own continual use of cleansers, toners and astringents that deplete it of its natural, necessary sebum? I venture to say that your oily hair is very likely your poor thirsty scalp's exact same response to your overuse of shampoo! So instead of shampooing all the time, just rinse. And afterwards, while the scalp is soft and the pores are open, make a few parts in your hair, drop in some Facial Serum (2-3x week) and let it trickle down like a messenger signaling to your skin naturally to slow down the oil secretion. (More on my one-man-anti-shampoo-campaign coming soon)

5.    True Story: just the other day I was dining al fresco on the lower east side of Manhattan. Every time a waiter would come outside, this irritable (and totally sloshed) customer seated just by the door would gripe and moan about the deep creaking sound coming from the door's hinges. The waiters couldn't (or chose not to) do anything about it, so after a few minutes of this lush's bitching, I (ever prepared and constantly reppin' my brand) produced from my bag a sample of Red Hook Beard Oil and slathered it onto all three of the door's put-upon hinges. After only a few openings and closings, the door hinges were lubed and quiet and--more importantly--so was the drunk.

THEN, when I went by a few days later the waiter was happy to report that not only had the door remained silent, but his shifts had become much more bearable since each time he walked in the door he was treated to a lovely whiff of spiced bay rum

Stay tuned to the blog for more ideas on how Brooklyn Grooming's products can make your life exponentially better. And if you've discovered any dual functions with your own BG items, please let us know in the comments section below!

Or send us a tweet to @BKGrooming

* * * * * Cocaine might be fine for toothaches, but it’s murder on the skin. So for all my ranting on this blog about the ritual care, regimented maintenance and meticulous preservation of your complexion, don’t you dare BLOW it on that stuff. (I for one am still a proponent of the stop-cavities-before-they-start method.) * * * * *

Dealing with smoketests, release candidates and the final release

The cerowrt development process is broken up into three phases - smoketests, release candidates, and eventual release.

The smoketests will one day be daily automated builds. At present they are tests against fixed bugs, mostly.
YMMV. Do NOT work against a smoketest for anything serious.

A principal problem with smoketests is that they are totally unsupported and the package database
points at the rc catagory they will be. To get the additional packages you will need to point /etc/opkg.conf to the correct
the smoketest build directory.

Release candidates

Release candidates are the more polished, fully tested versions of cerowrt as we march down towards a release.

When will we get Cerowrt 1.0?

When all priority 1 and 2 bugs are fixed on the roadmap. Our hope was september 15, but we’ve missed that date considerably.

Oct 15 would be a good date to aim for.

Neiman Marcus

The luxury department store chain began in 1907 as a single store in Dallas, Texas.

Vital statistics

  • 1907 Established
  • Public Type
  • > 10,000 Number of employees
  • $4.65 billion (2013) Revenue
  • 41 Stores
  • Dallas, United States HQ

Company Snapshot

Company Snapshot

Neiman Marcus is an American luxury specialty department store owned by the Neiman Marcus Group, headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The company also owns the Bergdorf Goodman department stores and operates a direct marketing division, Neiman Marcus Direct. Neiman Marcus is currently owned by CPP Investment Board and Ares Management.

The store, established on September 10, 1907 by Herbert Marcus and his sister Carrie Marcus Neiman, was lavishly furnished and stocked with clothing of a quality not commonly found in Texas. Within a few weeks, the store's initial inventory, mostly acquired on a buying trip to New York made by Carrie, was completely sold out.

In 1914 a fire destroyed the Neiman Marcus store and all of its merchandise. A temporary store was set up and opened. By the end of 1914, Neiman Marcus opened in its new, permanent location and increased their product selection, as well as expanded the women's apparel department.

In 1929 the store began offering menswear. During the 1930s and 1940s Neiman Marcus began to include less expensive clothing lines along with its high-end items, in response to the Great Depression and following war years.

Herbert Marcus, Sr., died in 1950, and Carrie Neiman died two years later, leaving Stanley Marcus in charge of the company's operations.

Neiman Marcus is still in operation today under the original name and is still headquartered in the city where it began. It offers upscale assortments of apparel, accessories, jewellery, beauty and decorative home products.

The Shed: Working In The Garden

Remember we told you about the Diamond House with its roof deck overlooking the hills of San Francisco? Well, at the back of its garden there’s a lovely new garden room that was built instead of an existing shed. This single room serves as a study/office as well as an extra living space away from the main house.

Part of the original structure, the perimeter walls and the foundation footprint, were used and a new mat slab and roof structure were inserted. The new roof is anchored to the existing walls, floating above two new steel columns.

Transparent and translucent movable walls give the shed a contemporary Asian flair, blending the interior space with shrubs, grass and trees that inhabit the outside garden.

MMC (New Zealand)

Incorporated in 2002, MMC are a New Zealand based provider of outsourced fund administration solutions for investment managers and investment product providers. With 26 clients and over NZ$27.9bn in funds under advice, they are based in Auckland and solely focus on the New Zealand market. MMC pride themselves on being truly ‘local’ because it means that they are able to interact directly with clients, while being highly knowledgeable of local regulations.

Some of MMC’s clients are the most well respected investment and wealth management organisations in New Zealand, including BT Funds Management (NZ) / Westpac Banking Corporation, BNZ Investment Services, Milford Asset Management and Suncorp NZ (Asteron and Vero).

The challenge: risk reduction

In order to meet the demands of their clients, MMC seek to use every opportunity to adopt efficiency, reduce cost and lower risk. Before joining the Calastone network, MMC faced a number of issues while sending orders. Nicola Tait, Client Services and Marketing Manager at MMC, said ‘In the past we would receive emails, with scanned attachments, and they would be manually processed and manually checked. Then after the transactions were priced, we would send data files by FTP to a mailing house and advices were sent either by email or post.

Manually looking at this information and re-entering it introduces a number of risks, such as the replication of data which significantly increases the potential for error. In addition, there was no immediate visibility over what the status of these orders were.

Selecting Calastone: order routing (applications and redemptions)

MMC became aware of Calastone shortly after its entry into the Australian market, and they recognised the value of joining the network. For MMC good coverage was very important - ‘The more of our clients covered by the network the better. We had a look at what was overseas and saw there was a real gap in the New Zealand market. Having good coverage of clients was key in our decision-making process.’

MMC observed Calastone’s coverage grow in Australia until it became a market leader. Well ready to adopt the automation that Calastone provided, MMC welcomed their arrival into the New Zealand market.

Onboarding and key benefits

Commenting on the onboarding, Tait said ‘It stood out as a very positive experience. We felt that it was a very smooth and efficient process, and that there was great communication the whole way through.’ Tait continued by saying ‘During the go-live process there was hand-holding right throughout ensuring that everything could be addressed as it happened – this was fantastic.’

Through a single connection to the network, MMC have immediately benefited from straight-through processing, enabling operational efficiency while negating the risk and potential for errors associated with manual processes. Making the process electronic has also allowed real-time, full visibility of the orders, ensuring that they always know the status of the trades taking place.

Scalability has been the most important benefit that MMC have seen so far. This is because if they add new clients then they do not necessarily need to add additional staff to process orders. Calastone makes it easier to increase volumes without increasing headcount or costs.

The future

Calastone has been working closely with clients to develop Calastone Transfers for the Australian and New Zealand market. In both of these regions, asset transfers remain highly manual and subject to high operational cost.

Speaking on the future of MMC’s relationship with Calastone, Tait said It would be great if, over time, Calastone’s services were expanded to cover the full range of transactions. Switches and transfers are still quite a large part of the transaction flow.’

"Remember me" for the forums?

Well, not really related to the Campaign Monitor product but the forum. Where's the auto-login/remember me function hidden? :-)

Oskar Oskar, 7 years ago

11 months and still no "remember me" function? It's annoying having to log in all the time.

200,000 companies around the world can't be wrong.

From Australia to Zimbabwe, and everywhere in between, companies count on

#WeirdNews: Woman becomes world’s first professional bed warmer

A woman has become the world’s first professional bed warmer.

Viktoria Ivachyova lends a hand to people who want their bed to be warm as soon as they get into it at night, by renting her professional bed warming services.

The 21 year old charges £65 per night or £1,350 per month to lay in a stranger’s bed for an hour in order to make their chilly sheets cosy enough to help them drift off to sleep with ease.

Once booked, the professional bed warmer arrives at the client’s home at a scheduled time slot before their bedtime, puts on her pyjamas, and lays in their bed for an hour.

Viktoria tells clients they are allowed to present in the room whilst she warms their bed up for them, but they cannot touch her. To reinforce these rules, she carries a panic button which alerts a security team should she need it.

The rules are only in place to make sure Viktoria is safe, and she does allow her clients to talk to her whilst she works. Some of her customers even talk to her about their problems, and the Daily Mirror newspaper reports she claims to be a “great listener”.

The demand is so high for her service, Viktoria is now said to be putting together a team of bed warmers to tackle the increasing number of clients.

    UIC is quite affordable for most considering all the grants that it offers. As for what you're getting out of UIC, you're getting exposure to many people from all over the world. You learn more about the cultures and can explore the city. Learn not just about the city of Chicago, but if all great cities and to help solve the problems.

    It is really cheap because it is a public university. Unfortunately, there is not as much financial aid for graduate students. There are really competitive fellowships, research/graduate assistantships, and a few scholarships.

    You get to live right next to Chicago, one of the most amazing cities in the world. Not having high standing sport teams does not mean that that sense of love for atheltics can be lost when you get top notch professional teams down the street.

Additionally, if you would like to help Patrick with his medical and living expenses, please visit his GoFundMe page at ( Donations made through Caring Bridge are considered tributes to Caring Bridge and will not be donated to Patrick's medical fund.

Please help us help Patrick continue to be there for his sons, his fellow artists, his family and his many friends by contributing to his treatment fund today.

Default Problems with circular shapes in FSI simulations
New Member
Join Date: Sep 2009

kezman is on a distinguished road

I am working on a impact model of the human head. Skull, Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the human brain.
First I made a very simple model without the brain. Just a simple square filled with the CSF. There is a force applied (starts at 3e-5 seconds ends at 9e-5 seconds ) at the front of the square which represents the impact.
BUT when I model the brain in this square (see it as a circle in a square, around the square is the CSF) the simulation stops always at the timestep when the force will come up.

I tried all different kind of meshes and it didn't help. Maybe the problem is the density of the brain and the fluid, because they are almost simular??

end time = 3e-3
time step = 3e-5

Hope someone can help me.

Hi everybody

I need to plot temperature gradient, but I only know how to plot temperature. Can anybody know how to do it? Perhaps using a UDF and plotting it?

In CFX Post you can create a new variable for the temperature gradient then it becomes a variable like any which you can plot, isosurface, streamline, whatever.

Petition Closed

Rule in Favor of Hank's Oyster Bar Dupont Circle

Dear community member:

I am the chef/owner of Hank’s Oyster Bar, which I opened in 2005. Before opening the restaurant, I applied for an alcoholic beverage license. Although I had already made my name as a chef in Washington, DC, and had no intention of operating a nightclub, my application was protested by certain individuals living in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Because, at that time, the A.B.C. Board refused to give me a timely hearing date to contest the protest, I was forced to sign a voluntary agreement, or lose the opportunity to proceed with the project. The voluntary agreement restricted my hours, and prevented me from expanding or otherwise increasing the occupancy of my business,

In 2010, seeing an opportunity to expand my successful business, I requested that the ABC Board terminate my voluntary agreement. The advisory neighborhood commission (ANC 2B) wholeheartedly supported the request. After a hearing, and a finding that termination of the VA would not have an adverse impact on the neighborhood, the Board ordered the VA terminated.

The Board then had a hearing on a request to expand my business to include the building next door, and the public space in front of it, and approved that request.

In the meantime, the few neighbors opposed to me appealed the termination of the VA to the Court of Appeals. The Court has now reversed the ABC Board, finding that not only do we have to show no adverse impact in terminating the VA, but also that we tried to work it out with the protestants by entering into an amended VA, and that we need the VA termination because of changed circumstances.

We have our hearing on these last two issues next Wednesday before the ABC Board. We are confident we will prevail, because we did try to work this out with those opposed to us back when we first sought termination of the VA, but they refused to meet. Also, since the Court of Appeals decision was reached, we offered to address their concerns with a more limited VA, but they insist we cut our outdoor occupancy by 25%, even though there have been no complaints. As for changes in the neighborhood, I am sure they are well known to you. Of course, it could take months for the Board to rule.

Last night, as a result of a complaint by the protesters, we were visited by ABC investigators. We were told we cannot use half of our patio seating area, because of the Court of Appeals decision. This happened before we even have had a hearing before the ABC Board.

If you agree that allowing a small number of individuals to dictate what happens in our community is wrong, please contact sign this petition.   Let them know that the ABC Board should be urged to make a decision quickly, reaffirming the termination of our VA. Also let them know that it is time to stop allowing a few residents to dictate what happens in a neighborhood, particularly when the duly elected ANC members feel otherwise. The right of a group of 5 residents to hold up a license application should be eliminated from the law. Otherwise, the situation I find myself in will undoubtedly occur again.
