From the article: "A construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize's largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project, authorities announced on Monday. The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, said the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial center dates back at least 2,300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico."

:( Could you entice him with a touch of cooked chicken throughout his serving?

We've been mixing in some of Tucker's special food, and that has helped some. While ago I gave him about 1/2 cup of Tucker's food, and I (ETA um, no, FRODO) gobbled it down. Of course. We might have to try some chicken or something.

Boo! Spock is the same way with the dog food Adrian's been buying recently. I usually give him an egg or splash some milk on it and he'll eat it. Sometimes, I have to give him peanut butter of pan leavings to really get him to eat it.

Way back when, gravy and carrots would convince my dog that she was dining on the finest gourmet dog chow available. Without gravy and carrots, she'd even ignore a steak. But then, she was a strange dog. Loved kids, women and most men. Hated wingback chairs, lightbulbs and puddles. Loved root vegetables, ignored cats and rabbits. Expert fly-hunter, terrified by her own flatulence. I miss that stupid mutt :-)

Find some inexpensive beef or chicken broth to pour over the food. When Stormie is being picky, this always works for her.

Cheap powdered parm cheese ... A tiny bit works for us, he can't just eat it and ignore the chow, and it doesn't make the food (my dogs don't seem to like wet kibble)

I've started to add warm water to their Purina One dog food and they like it alot better.

Well, today we found out the reason Frodo hasn't been eating well is that he has a softball-sized mass in his stomach, and it looks like things have spread to his chest and liver. He's not in any obvious pain, for which I am grateful. But we will be making some tough decisions.

The fact that the very first use cases that most people commonly cite for Google Glass are the facilitation of literally anti-social behavior is revealing, I think. (1) They allow you to continually access the Internet without looking like you're not paying attention (2) They allow you to photograph and record people without their consent.
I mean, I can totally see some surgeons wearing Google Glass so they can catch the playoff game while doing their twentieth T&A or hernia repair for the day. This would be a *perfect* use case.
- Victor Ganata
Yep, given it's the distraction of attention that's dangerous, it will be interesting to see how the legal aspects develop. If you get in accident with glass on are you automatically assumed to be at fault?
- Todd Hoff
I always find it odd, because for me those are not what I'd really like it for, but I can see how that's what people would think of first. I don't want to interact with people with it on, but I'd love to watch a sporting match with a HUD or use it as a hands-free lookup when I'm on a nature walk (rather than pulling out my phone or a book.) I wouldn't even necessarily want it on the...

I think it's a question between incremental improvement versus previously-unavailable features. There's no way to look at your smartphone while talking with someone without looking like a total jerk. And pulling out your smartphone to take non-consensual pics is *way* more obvious than simply shifting your gaze, even if Google Glasses are hard to miss. All the other use cases may be improvements—perhaps significantly so—but you can still perform those functions with regular smartphones.
- Victor Ganata
OTOH, if Google Glass takes off, it will probably force cell phone carriers to increase their bandwidth and coverage.
- Victor Ganata
The other frequently cited use case—hands-free Internet access while performing some other task—is probably not that great of an idea if that other task happens to be something like driving or performing abdominal surgery.

The things I'd want from it are: 1. Face/name recognition (because I forget names a lot), 2. Real-time 3D directions (subtly highlighting the correct direction).
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Stephen, I understand your first one. But as someone who does not want to have his face in commercial facial recognition databases (it's probably hopeless in the medium term for government databases), I wish there was a way to truly opt out of being captured, stored, and aggregated like that.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Yeah, that makes sense, Tinny. I'd prefer it if my glasses only recognized the people I knew and had taught the glasses to recognize myself directly, and didn't share without explicit permission from the person being captured. But I'm not sure if that's how it will work or not.

(2) They allow you to photograph and record people without their consent. << The upside for this IF everyone uses this gadget is that everyone is a "monitor" and a "witness" to anything out of the ordinary, like crimes, secret conspiracies, wonders of the world, etc. It is a double edged sword.

I watched the Kitchen Nightmares on these two. Elena looked them up and one thing they didn't mention on the show was that she called 911 and hung up. The police came to find out what was going on while they were berating a customer. This was before Ramsey even showed up. You could see a producer plead with them to not get into a physical altercation.

It depends on how far you want to scale down and what you define as end points. Like, are you pregnant when the sperm and egg fuse? When the zygote starts dividing? When the zygote implants into the endometrium? When your hCG levels are detectable by pregnancy tests? When you're past the first trimester and haven't miscarried (most spontaneous abortions happen before you know you're...

Even "positive" and "negative" actually automatically imply four possible states (at least).
- Victor Ganata
But, yeah, it's tricky. We frequently reduce physiological phenomenon to binary states. Like, a neuron is either firing or it's not. Even though in reality there are more states than that. It all depends on what you're studying. I guess the genetic code is binary (quaternary?). Each base pair can be represented as two bits.

The best part of this past weekend...aside from finally getting to meet Eivind IRL...was seeing my best friend truly, genuinely, beautifully happy. I am so thankful that her and Eivind found each other. They're two souls that were meant to be together, and it shows in every little way.
The greatest thing ever was meeting Eivind in SF right before he went to meet Kelli and just KNOWING that he was about to fall for her madly.

"That CNN's news coverage has been nothing but comedy-(and cringe-)worthy for the past several years, should not be news to anyone by now: perhaps there is no better testament to a society in which a network that breaks news based on fake twitter rumors is still held in high regard. However, in the spirit of reverse psychology memes, does the fact that Jon Stewart is now constantly poking fun at CNN's "news-slaughter", mean that it may be, paradoxically, time to start taking CNN - "the most busted name in news" seriously again? (... that's obviously rhetorical). When CNN reports via satellite uplink from the same parking lot, funny things happen."

Actually did have a pretty good day, really. Earlier he was well enough to go to the park and it was such a gorgeous day. Then he suddenly came down with a raging fever and slept a bit. Since he woke up, we've been eating my mother's day chocolate and reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I don't think white supremacists interested in studying IQ difference between racial groups should be completely silenced. Let them do their studies (although preferrably not on the tax payer's dime), let them publish them, and then let them get repeatedly torn apart by people critically analyzing their data.
As long as I'm not funding it with my taxes, I'm good with that.

They can scream "help, help, I'm being repressed by political correctness!" all they want, that still won't excuse the shoddiness of their theoretical models, their methodology, and their data.
- Victor Ganata
And the fundamental flaws: That the "races" of the test subjects have discrete boundaries, and that IQ tests measure anything other than your IQ. The so-called "human bio-diversity" bloggers I've had the misfortune to read are stomach-churning in their arrogance and misanthropy.
