... Emergence is something that I have never quite "got".

Read E.O. Wilson on the Evolution of Ants and you will get Emergence. He's a great writer and is very readable.

You are scary good at bbving UC every week

Mostly since QF's started I was nailing them in the first round, UCL were miles ahead and just went to sleep there.

WTF is that yer man has around his neck?

[tylerdurden94]

I'm going to completely derail now.
I went to a poker festival this weekend, Friday, Saturday and back up Sunday . It was the first time I didn't drink at one

I had such a laugh, obv don't need to drink. Think some people were quite shocked by the fact

So that wasn't a bottle of Corona in your hand

[Bubbleking]

Friday night lights is very good, I read "the football men" recently and thought it was very good real insight into the minds of footballers.

im bout half way through season 3 its been excellent so far

[Zod]

interview done. went ok, no bad questions, don't think I gave a bad answer.

Lets see if I get the second round of interviews.

[Trippie]

have a meeting with the head of Colombian Rugby tomorrow. Presume its about me being allowed to coach the select side but the national squad had try outs this weekend just gone so squad will be confirmed today I think. Presuming the coaching staff is in place at this stage but one time they have a position still open and who knows maybe I can blag my way onto that

Really hope they don't expand too much more as they've ruined the UK cinema experience and would just do the same here if they get some dominance.

Lol I'd give it less than 6 months. Almost everything around the Point ( other than the Point itself) is such a monument to the Celtic Tiger. Ever been in that ridiculous hotel down there? You have to travel up something like 5 escalators just to get to the reception

Glad to see the lighthouse is open again. And from what little I know of Element Pictures, it's in good hands.

[tonc76]

That's the one aye

Nice one thanks

Interesting program on RTE1 about Colm Murray and his battle with Motor Neurone Disease. Have had the pleasure of his company many times and it's kinda upsetting to watch how much he has been affected. When I was younger I used to do the church gate collection for the IMNDA. Happy to say that because of all of this I am announcing a decent sized fundraising effort for the IMNDA in Leopardstown on Saturday. It will be a Cheltenham preview night held in the Leopardstown pavilion on Wednesday March 7th. We have set a fundraising target of €20,000 but obviously hope to get much more.

Watching it now, harrowing to think how much he has regressed in the 1.5-2 years he has had it. Very worthy cause Noel.

Saw when he was on the late late and his speech was slightly affected its a horrible disease and an absolutelty brutal cruel way to go.

I actually only watched that for the first time the other day on youtube, the difference is scary.

[Lazare]

Saying that you are good at MTT's when you want to be means that you are often bad at them, but that that's ok because you in those circumstances you don't want to be good at them. This is a common justification used by poker players to explain bad results, when in fact variance and poor play have much more to do with it.

Dunning-Kruger effect.

It seems its a snowball effect really.
Never going to get better whatever about losing the use of ones body
i was on crutches for
10 weeks felt helpless and frustrated
losing the mind even my feeble one would be horrible.

A man who embraces Coronation Street is a man who has taken his first step on the road to a very slow death.

Everyone on this forum is walking the same road.

The ones with Coronation Street in their hearts enjoy the journey more.

[tylerdurden94]

ugh - suppose they're the only ones left with money, but really despise Odeon cinemas. Such a corporate cinema with any good seats being 'premier' seats and tickets too expensive. Last time was there did what most people do and just sit in the Premier seats without paying; but these are just what other cinemas call ordinary seats. Legroom is crap too; actually uncomfortable.

Really hope they don't expand too much more as they've ruined the UK cinema experience and would just do the same here if they get some dominance.

Have no real idea of what they are about, just wanna go to an IMAX and see what all the fuss is about, I really like Cineworld over here but have no idea of what they are like in the UK other than they are a chain.

As for those premier seats some of the cinemas over here do them they seem the same from what people say.

[ghostface]

Lets see if I get the second round of interviews.

glgl

On this, did an interview last Friday week and was informed at it that there would be a second round of interviews if made it thru (which surprised me given the job it is). Anywho, have not heard back and pretty sure it should have been by Friday gone. Is it standard to ring them up to find out what the story is on this? I'd be pretty surprised if didnt make the 2nd round given I used to do the same job a few years ago.

Watching recording MND "The inside track" on RTE 1 about Colm Murray and his illness and coping with Motor Nuron Disease - inspirational, I haven't seen such an honest documentary on RTE in such a long time... I'm actually feeling a bit emotional...... such a strong man

Read E.O. Wilson on the Evolution of Ants and you will get Emergence. He's a great writer and is very readable.
Journey to the Ants

I've been a fan of EO Wilson for a long time, since reading his book Sociobiology. Saw him give a lecture in Trinity once.

The work he did investigating and explaining the emergence of function in ants was used in part by the guy I mentioned, Murray Bowen, in accounting for being constituted into a functioning position by the needs of the system within human families.

I spent the Christmas reading Bowen's systemic approach and found it quite a radical perspective. I, like most, am used to seeing myself and others as individuals. While tipping the hat to social and cultural influences, and acknowledging the sense of some applications of postmodern social constructionist epistemology, I still thought of individuals. When I analyse a person it is an intrapsychic analysis.

But a systemic analysis such as Bowen's views the extended family as the emotional unit of analysis, not the individual. So just as genetically identical ants can have the expression of their genes shaped by the required extant functioning needs of the colony, and thus become workers or soldiers etc., so too human beings.

The idea is that you cannot understand the functioning of a person abstracted from considering the overall functioning of their family of origin. Did their mother or father relate to them in particular ways and thus require them to be a certain way to facilitate that? Did you get born into a functioning position such as the troublemaker or the pacifier by virtue of the positions taken up by your parents in their historical family relationships?

Bowen's family therapy was based on understanding not individuals, but families, as the emotional field. And so if one wanted to change the individual one had to change the family system.

Again I appreciate that this is tl;dr for most, but there are a lot of fascinating aspects of this systemic perspective, particularly as we have such an individualistic narrative in Western cultural these days.

Now Bowen applied this thinking to organisations too. So, the BBV. Do we need Sickpuppy to function as he sometimes does. Do we "create" the functioning position of "a trouble maker" for someone to fulfil. And if one person leaves, is banned, stops functioning in that role then does someone else, in a sense, "have" to fill that functioning position? What would our history suggest?

[Mellor]

Jesus, wtf is going on in here lately

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

[hotspur]

hmm interesting hotspur. I'd say posters can create their own roles, but there will be standard roles that need to be filled.

Yeah, I mostly don't buy it at the level of online forum community, but then no-one has ever tried to sell it. But the more I have thought about it in respect of my own extended family the more illuminated I have been, especially in respect of triangles -

We should not be taking this internet thing too serious, that's what the real world is for imo.

First night back on nights, ugh, not looking forward to the crap sleep tomorrow.

anyone have an idea on how long the backlog is on social insurance fund payouts for redundancy is at the moment?

[oleras]

What's your schedule like - something like two weeks on nights and two weeks on days?

Chatting to the brother today and he was saying that due to his holiday at begin January he has total of 15 holiday days left in the year with about 8 needed for exam prep. That's some scary stuff to be thinking about in January

4 weeks of days then 4 weeks of nights, 12hr shifts, 5 out of 7 days this week then 2 out of 7 next week.

M T W T F S S
o x x o o x x
M T W T F S S
x o o x x o o

Rinse and repeat, 12th year in the job and still not used to nights, takes about 2-3 weeks to get a sleeping pattern going, and im convinced it just takes my body 2-3 weeks to become so wrecked i sleep during the day.

The time off during the week comes in handy, very forgiving for a functioning alcoholic...lol

[tylerdurden94]

Opinions folks on Grooveshark vs LastFM? Have reduced space on my harddrive so a good functioning service like one or the two mentioned would be sweet, have been looking at them and I like the look of GS better, I know there was a thread about that here awhile back would like to hear from those folks who used it, any help appreciated

Fellow Tebow fans, I just watched this. Its about the time between when he left college and got drafted. You need Veoh player to watch it, if you don't have it you just get a five minute preview.

You can freeze a contract with most providers, but i'm not sure what the max time is. how long are you in Oz for.
Also, its not free. you'll have to pay a small each per month.

imo its a bad idea
