[Moreintelligentlife.com] PAINTING IN STONE | More Intelligent Life: The workshop specialised in a Florentine development of the old Roman technique known as opus sectile, a form of mosaic composed not of thousands of individual identical small tesserae, but of pieces of marble, tile or stone pre-cut into shapes and then assembled into geometric or figural patterns like a giant jigsaw. These elaborate hard-stone designs were used for many decorative purposes, to adorn cabinets, to create table tops, chess boards, jewel boxes, caskets, and to serve as wall paintings.

[Star Trek Collectibles] Star Trek Monopoly | Star Trek Collectibles: Deckard dream sequence with the unicorn inserted in the coinciding Director's Cut Gaff with separation Gift of a unicorn origami is considered by many as showing Deckard is a replicant that Gaff could have access to Deckard's implanted memories. The interpretation that Deckard is a Replicant is disputed by others who believe that showing pictures unicorn characters, whether human or replicant, share the same dreams and recognize their affinity, or the lack of a decisive response is crucial to the movie main theme.

[we make money not art] Interview with Daniel Canogar - we make money not art: A-Life research is present in everyday consumer products, such as children's electronic pets (Tamagotchi, Dogz, Catz and many more), video games with characters that evolve over time, or in intelligent interfaces for mobile telephones and other electronic devices which "learn" about the user, including search engines. No doubt, in coming years such technologies will become a staple of our quotidian life.

[Creative-i] Creative-i : From Marx to Goldman Sachs: The Fictions of ...: ”˜The entire artificial system of forced expansion of the reproduction process cannot, of course, be remedied by having some bank, like the Bank of England, give to all the swindlers the deficient capital by means of its paper and having it buy up all the depreciated commodities at their old nominal values.’ [15] Marx wrote this reductio ad absurdum not dreaming that it would come true in autumn 2008 as the U.S. Treasury paid off all of A.I.G.’s gambles and other counterparty ”˜casino capitalist’ losses at taxpayer expense, followed by the Federal Reserve buying junk mortgage packages at par.

[Steins and Collectibles] Budweiser T Shirts | Steins and Collectibles: Deckard joined with hooks and sent to the Tyrell Corporation to ensure the Voight-Kampff test works on Nexus-6 models. Once there, Deckard discovers that Tyrell (Joe Turkel) assistant Rachael (Sean Young) is an experimental replicant who believes she is human consciousness Rachael has been improved with childhood memories of Tyrell's niece.

[By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog] The Sacrament of Grief « By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog: For much of the prayer life of my youth, “repetition” was anathema, inseparable from its descriptor, “vain.” I would winnow my mind to find new words to carry my mostly unchanging requests and gratitude skyward: “…nourish and strengthen…” “…give us the energy we need…” “…at least not kill us…” (It depended on who had done the cooking.) But this focus on new verbiage was no reliable prophylaxis against artificiality, and my prayers bounced back off the ceiling no less often than usual.

[catching days] A Day in the Life of Diane Lefer | catching days: And I know the desire is always there to focus on the work and lose myself in it, but in reality while the novel remains with me, percolating, I can’t always remain with it. Getting up though and moving around means the blood is flowing throughout the body and not just accumulating in the butt which is not the part of my body that does the best thinking.

[We Blog The World] Women, Men, and Their Relationships | We Blog The World: Women, on the other hand, have their emotional eggs in many baskets- friends, parents, children, etc. It is devastating for a man to lose a woman because he losses his single source of emotional support and women do just fine when the relationship ends because they have emotional support from other people.

[Peer Review on Science Blogs] It's ALIVE! : Pharyngula: If you're dreaming of using the draft Neandertal sequence to make your own resynthesized caveman, you're going to have to appreciate the fact that that is a job more than three orders of magnitude greater than building a bacterium. Also keep in mind that the sequence introduced into the bacterium was not exactly as intended, but contained expected small errors that had accumulated during the extended synthesis process.

[The Distributist Review] The Distributist Review » Blog Archive » The Place of Guilds in A ...: In other words, the chief function of the guilds is to oversee a particular trade or industry so that its prices and wages are fair, (xiv) its products are well-made and are produced in such a manner as not to harm either the worker or the larger physical environment, and there is an approximate equivalence between the number of workers in a particular trade and the public’s genuine need for their product or service so that there will be steady work for all in the trade or industry. In addition, guilds would probably take on many of the subsidiary functions now performed by government or others, e.g., pensions and health insurance, owning their own industrial banks or credit unions to provide financial services to guild members and their families, especially financing for those starting out in the field, and they would act as trade associations to represent the trade to outside interested parties, such as the government, other guilds whose members serve as suppliers or customers, etc. Moreover, in a Catholic society guilds would operate as frankly religious societies, striving to inculcate a spirit of both justice and charity in their members and to sanctify their work by means of attendance at Mass in common, devotion to the patron saint of the guild, Masses and prayers for deceased members and so on.

[BaristaKids] Take Back the Kitchen And the Boobs (BaristaKids): That pregnant women will go to great lengths for the health of their unborn child, even fighting something as extreme as an addiction to nicotine, but then, seemingly give up on breastfeeding with much less effort. I didn't have the impression she was judging or insulting anyone but, rather, placing the blame on the formula companies and a society that often does not support those who would otherwise choose to breastfeed, I think the first poster misunderstood a negative spin that was never intended (as evidenced by alma's subsequent post) and the rest of you were, as usual, all too happy to run with it.

[Annie's Eats] Food and Light in Boulder, CO « Annie's Eats:  Honestly I could hardly pay attention because the whole time I was thinking, “OMG, that’s JEN!”  (Later in the morning, a few other bloggers approached me in a similar manner as though I was some kind of special person they were excited to meet.
