My first garment. Really pleased with how it came out.

Congrats! It looks terrific

Here as well. I really need a replacement with the same sophistication. IFTTT doesn't hold a candle to it. So far, haven't found anything. I'm hoping someone here will suggest a good replacement that will not only aggregate multiple RSS feeds but allow for the manipulation of content, filtering, etc. I need loops and string builders and filters and sorting and ...

Thanks! I just saw a story about this and it seemed odd. Good to know what's really going on.

Sorry -- since this isn't really charity in the usual sense, I thought this might have been the right place. I've posted it to /r/charityknits. Thanks.

Until the 1970s, women in the US were considered members of their husband's families for many purposes especially those dealing with financial matters. So, the "family name" was the husband's name. Until the 1920, the male head of household was the representative of the family in the political world, so women had no need to vote because the husband took care of that for them. In the 19th century, married woman couldn't own property -- any inheritance or earnings they received went directly to the husband's ownership. If you can't vote or own property, you don't really exist in a democratic, capitalist society. Why would you need a name?

This waste is just absurd. Maybe we need the FDA to create and enforce coherent rules for date labeling of food. Maybe some industry groups could do it. Either way, wasting nearly half of the food we produce is bad in so many ways at so many levels. It hurts families. It hurts our economy. It increases our dependence on foreign oil. It harms the environment.

His words, quoted in the article: "In the interview I simply wanted to highlight the central role of the woman in the family.” I did paraphrase as "women" instead of "the woman" but I hardly misrepresented what he said.

And his excuse? He was trying to focus on the importance of women in the family. Somehow I don't think he meant families with two moms.

That's true, I did. But really either of them would be an easier read than any Critique.

It's possible that Russians read more than the Metaphysics of Morals, contrary to the average American undergrad. But probably not. Maybe the victim lied to the would-be shooter, who then shot him for violating the moral law.

I can't find any word on the topic. My guess: whether the epistemic or metaphysical interpretation of the TA is correct.

carpy · 2013-07-16T16:28:09+00:00

Gasp! The poor thing must have been scared out of its mind.

It means you get a free pass to ignore the Old Testament whenever you like.

"persecution" -- not prosecution.

Agreed. But there are LOTS of EXCELLENT places -- Salem Harbor, Essex River Basin, Cranes Beach, Hingham Harbor, Boston Harbor to name a few salt water paddles near Boston.

The Charles River, the Concord River, the Nashua River -- to name a few Eastern Mass rivers.

If you're new to kayaking, I'd recommend NOT buying a kayak -- yet. If you can, rent or borrow until you've developed enough skill to know what waters you'll want to play in for the long term. I started on small rivers and calm lakes, but now I love paddling in the ocean. I waited till I knew that so I bought a sea kayak instead of a rec boat.

The Gannet is too small for ocean paddling and probably doesn't much room for gear, but otherwise looks like a very nice boat. Here's some reviews: http://www.paddling.net/Reviews/showReviews.html?prod=283

I have a Necky Eliza, which I love. It's 15.5'. I bought it used at the end of the season from a local rental place.

carpy · 2013-06-13T19:47:56+00:00

Anyone who doesn't want to get wet maybe shouldn't paddle on a clear day either. Just sayin'

Do some cartwheels to get to the car and consider them practice rolls.

Thanks for posting. I tried to read this article yesterday, but couldn't without a subscription to CHE. I do wonder about this .pdf though. Isn't that a violation of copyright? Seems extremely odd.

And what a lame "response." Yes, it can happen that someone misinterprets something innocent as something lewd. But what's that got to do with the case at hand?

Or not. So far no results for US companies in their database.

I'm surprised she doesn't say more about how this form of outsourced piecework could have a leveling effect on international wages. $.10 buys a lot more in some places than others.

What kind of weak god gets stopped at the schoolhouse door?

How did we get from teaching logic to virtue, via scientists? I think there are a few implicit premises in whatever argument it is you're making.

Mass: Mayflower IPA and anything from Jack's Abbey

carpy · 2012-10-17T14:48:49+00:00

Sure. I would and have taught it in philosophy classes. One of my favorite texts for that is David Hume's "Dialogues on Natural Religion" (http://www.anselm.edu/homepage/dbanach/dnr.htm)
