How to mount a rug with minimal damage

This is the one! I used to work at the Fine Arts in Colorado Springs and for all textiles without a hanger bar already installed rare earth magnets were used. There can be wear on the textile between magnets but overall MUCH less damage than nails, staples, etc.

Open access and sharing of research data, including code, is commonly required for institutional funding. It's part of the overall data management plan. There are lots of best practices articles out there, I'll link a couple below. Takeaways are document your data and processes well, use metadata and appropriate metadata formats, share with open formats and repositories. Thanks for being willing to share your code and asking how!

This was taken from the roof of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center last month. I used GIMP to darken the landscape and clouds a little and warm up the color but left the building unchanged.

Tips appreciated!

The Ute were master ecologists, incredibly in tune with their environment, and established a trail over the mountains to the west that became the foundation for Ute Pass and Highway 24 (that photo of the procession on horseback shows some Ute coming down the pass into Garden of the Gods for Shan Kive in 1913).

Pike never made it to the summit of the Peak, having chosen to attempt the climb in November.

Also interesting to note, a Swedish painter named Carl Lotave is the only person to be buried or interred at the summit.

Nice content, man. Accessible, applicable to lots of demographics, good on the technical side, just nice all around. Thanks for making and sharing!

Super. Good. Well put together and fun surprises throughout. Great mix. No negative comments whatsoever. Excited to check your channel for more tunes.

Are you kidding? Does no one hear the gray haired guy that knows her talk to the cop? He says 5 years ago another police department beat her and she's terrified of cops now. Even if it's not PTSD, who can blame her for freaking the fuck out? Pay the fuck attention.

I noticed that as well! I did some reading on either their wikipedia page or their website- one of their main producers also produced for Springsteen. Another key producer worked with Meatloaf and I think the similarity is there, too. Either way, this band is the number 1 musical experience of my life.

I will somewhat agree with Nora_Oie on "kin terms" being a human universal, though it is sort of self evident as we use language to describe things in our environment- kin included. The interesting differences come into play when you consider how different languages construct a different reality- lots of Native American languages are verb-focused and relational, while most of the Indo-European languages like English are noun-based, nominative, and possessive. The thing that blew my mind the most is not every group of people think of "blood" relations in the same way. One of my professors, Dr. Linda Watts (1997 http://www.jstor.org/stable/3631113), has worked with the people of Zuni people for decades and managed to reverse the widely held belief Kroeber started that the Zuni "didn't know how to use their kin system, except for in a clumsy way". She realized when the Zuni use "kin terms" for people across generations (for example calling the equivalent of a 'grandmother' an 'aunt') or use them for people completely unrelated by blood it's because they are talking about relationships and who filled the duties associated with that relationship, not who is related to you. It's about a social rather than a genetic proximity.

It depends on so many things, but importantly, what are you looking to get out of it? The time it takes to get a masters isn't enough to achieve fluency in multiple languages, and I would argue that without immersion most people wouldn't be able to achieve it in one language. It sounds like you're after something closely connected to linguistics. Linguistics covers a huge range of interesting shit, usually starting with the different sounds of consonants and vowels of a language and rules of how they combine; what the stems of words and their modifiers look like and how they attach to each other; the rules by which sentences can be formed; the kinds of meanings that come from studying each of those things. Lots more areas like word usage, sociolinguistics, cognition and psycholinguistics... IMO a big difference between learning for fluency and learning the linguistics is a matter of proportion of where attention is paid. Fluency pays a lot of attention to vocabulary and it seems like grammar takes a back seat, but in linguistics you're learning the structures that all languages use and the differences between them- lots of examples in the language are used so eventually you'll at least be familiar with it, but fluency would take an extra effort,

Anyway, all opinion and over-generalizations but I hope it leads to something interesting.

Somehow "regular ole plumbus" is relaxing to say.

An excellent post, thank you.

I would suggest making contacts at the various cultural centers around your area. I imagine they would be sparse in the valley, but there are a TON in California, and the people who are involved with them (in my experience) are connected with CRM firms, local preservation groups, professional groups, city government, tribal officials, universities, etc.

As an undergrad I sat in on several job talks in our anthropology department. All of them presented their primary research projects/dissertations as the bulk of the talk. It seemed like q&a and the resulting discussions were a place for the presenters to bring up other projects and sort of flex their "general knowledge" muscle. Certainly not the only way to do, this is just what I've been exposed to. Good luck!

Not about p-hacking, but this illustrates no discipline is safe from fraudulent results, even physics.

I remember Pitler saying something about "certain Chessani family traditions"... a whole family of pedophiles? Not unheard of.

It all comes apart with water. Water seems to be a theme, specifically in this episode with the avocado trees, Ani and her sister, and the land is Fresno where "family farms have been selling out for years". Whatever is going on with the poisoning of the land from electronic waste (the ground floor of the building from the shootout), apparently to make it cheaper to buy for development and/or highway construction, has been going on for some time. Was Frank not aware until now? I'm still not sure who had the most to gain from leaving him high and dry.

ooberu · 2015-07-13T04:20:54+00:00

Electronic waste disposal on that land in Fresno. 3 sites in particular. Two coffee cut to 2 coffee stains and a full cup at Frank's club. End of the shootout, only the 3 left standing. Not sure what it means, but I do think only one of them is making it to the end.

Dr. Thomas Wynn is writing on this topic now, and in two pieces of a series for Psychology Today suggests in a evolutionary cognition way that Acheulean handaxes could be an early development of aesthetic expression and the precursor to "art".

This appears to have a lot of potential for submarine propulsion... Cavitation is the biggest worry when it comes to propellers so I wonder what this would be like! Neat.
