Ugh. Week of Fail. Doodled at roleplaying. Gods only know why it's fantasy-esque - it's a sci ficampaign I was playing. A style I like using on and off. Bored, uninspired #1. Bored, uninspired #2. Didn't like how it was going, couldn't get the body right, got bored, stopped drawing. This, on the other hand... I think I'll sort out the cheekbone and maybe...
...One of the critical clues about Enron’s condition lay in the fact that it paid no income tax in four of its last five years. In an age of increasing financial complexity the “disclosure paradigm”—the idea that the more a company tells us about its business, the better off we are—has become an anachronism. Mysteries demand experience and insight. Woodward and Bernstein would never have broken the...
... she would do with her life. The three days of a living nightmare, the smell of blood and gunpowder and death that still followed her through her life were the three days that became Yoshimi's paradigm shift. No longer could she claim that she was a nice girl after taking part in the slaughter of her classmates. No longer was she an innocent after using her last weapon to kill the last person on...
CRASH My name is Tyro, as in Latin for neophyte. The Callahan booksgave me a paradigm shift (the good kind) when I first read them, and continue to inspire me every time I read them anew. I've been lurking here for some time, posting occasional short supportive comments, and I realized earlier I could use some help from the community. I don't have cancer. I don't have AIDS or a big scary ...
Ah, the Center City night as experienced from the rooftop. The city-sweat smell of exhaust, ozone and half-eaten food. It wasn't a smell you got on the street but here, ten floors up, everything was different. The pollution in the air stained the sky a permanent dead-lightbulb brown and the buildings to the north rose higher and higher, four or five story apartments giving way to skyscrapers ...
... colonial presence in the Caribbean and 55 years of a much disputed Kingdom Charter, has not only not promoted the decolonization of the territories, but is executing now the recolonization, the paradigm shift being described as from “principle based relationship” to “rule based relationship” or Kingdom New Style with more Dutch rules, involvement, control and supervishon. » The government of the...

... solve problems of complex physics . What is a little freaky is what DARPA’s new paradigm would mean for the distinction, or lack thereof, between humans and machines. “If successful, ... if the human mind is nothing more than the sum of its parts, Darpa’s new paradigm just might create computational intelligence that outdoes our own thermodynamic capabilities… making your brain the equivalent...
... the Sheldon/Penny relationship would provide the writers with meat food to feed on in terms of story-lines, jokes, etc, and in this thread (page 19) I brought up the fact that the new relationship paradigm of Spock/Uhura would be an excellent gateway for Sheldon to start exploring what it might be like if HE had a relationship, too. These are two of the big points for me that I really believe ...
... me happy. We are indoctrinated into this culture where we are the center and everyone/thing revolves around us. But at the same time I don't have the urge to change. My mind is fixed at this age, paradigm shift don't happen unless something shakes them and makes a change necessary for survival. That's the worse part of getting older, how we get stuck. The truth of the matter is, by the time you ...
