So there's just another level of grind in the game now.
Pretty much the only thing keeping me subbed is 10man raiding. I'm in a Finnish-only guild with some good people, so that makes the game enjoyable for now. I would PvP more, but the bot situation is just too abysmal at the moment.

I came in a month later so I'm still grinding on Arygos US. I finished Cloud Serpent and Tiller just before 5.1 hit and has Golden Lotus to Revered just that night. I have the remained pre-Golden Lotus revered reps to Revered as well wit Shoa-Pan to Honored. The new rep for Operation Skyshield is fun I suppose. It also gains more rep for the Black Prince.
The gear upgrades could also be useful, but I'm still grinding Valor to get gear, so I don't have spare to upgrade yet.
There is the Brawler's Guild (not tried that, but the new Landfall quest chains take you there so you know it exists), if you like fighting.
Landfall also is suppose to have some interesting quests going for it all over Azeroth as the war heats up. From Pandaria to Daleran. From Silvermoon to Orgrimmar. From Stormwind to wherever...something is up. So far all I know of is that there is the rep stuff on the southern coast of Pandaria and some new Scenarios. No new raids or dungreons that I am aware of in 5.1. But they seem to be setting up the story of Hellscream's fall.

Most of Pandaria looks really good. The mountains are really well done, much more so than those in Wrath. But for places you want to stay, the around around Halfhill is it, though some places in the Jade Forest are really pretty, as are the mountain skyline in the north. The quality of the snow to rock is Alps worthy.
There will be a new raid and dailies quest island for 5.2
Plus technically player housing once you "buy the farm".

The Landfall dailies quest chain has a lot of buildup to it in addition to the other daily quest rep grinds that tend to tell a story over the course of weeks. Building up towards something in later patches and raids.
In 5.1 we get a clear sign that Dalaran is split due to the war between the Alliance and the Horde. Jaina Proudmoore is pissed. Hellscream is pushing too many buttons I think. It takes a lot to piss off the Alliance's resident peacemakers, friend of Thrall...but he did it.
In 5.2 we are supposedly getting the Thunder King raid on an island. Also another world boss or two. The dailies will be run by the two mage factions from Dalaran, and will have lots of trolls and mogu to fight. I imagine it could be like the Sunwell dailies area on PVP servers.

I've lost a lot of motivation to play WoW, don't even have a 90. Hit 89, started looking at what to do at level cap, looked at all my alts, and realized the only thing waiting for me was endless dailies. Point grinds, rep grinds, badge grinds....and even with the shared account stuff it seems like Blizzard still found a way to make it hard for people who like alts. Been 89 for months, just can't bring myself to seriously sit down and finish it.
It's content, I guess, but it all feels so gated, and I absolutely despise the daily format. I never did the Argent or Molten stuff, and only just recently finished the Netherwing stuff from BC (mostly due to eggs being so easy to find now).
At this point it's more exciting to see all the datamined stuff than it is to play. Maybe I'm just burned out on MMOs.

@Solace: That's what made me quit back in Cata after I had been at 85 for a while. It then happened with GW2 and I attributed it to burning out on this type of MMO. The only one I'm able to play now is EVE since it's so different.
It's really something to do, as you say, with the way its structured. I can't even do grinding quests in SP games because of it, I need something more. There needs to be some kind of "revolution" or something. I haven't even looked back at WoW since then.

After watching a video on Destruction Warlocks in 5.1 I finally learned how to AOE in this spec outside of just Rain of Fire. Afterwhich I tried out the Fire and Brimstone group nuking in some of the dailies areas and it is really fun. That and the situational double 180K Chaos Bolt nukes on some of those health linked Mogu mobs it really nice.
I find that while it doesn't take a lot to kill a warlock, if they aren't paying attention, it is really, really hard to kill one that is. We have so many survival skills it can be amazing to survive for a non-tank class that wears cloth. I mean I've played warlock since the middle of TBC and I am amazed now at just how much punishment I can brush off via things that regain health quickly. If I can generate a massive number of Burning Embers quickly, I can keep my health up combined with Healthstones, and in my case, an engineering belt-health potion. Plus Life Tap and the health I get back from hitting mobs with my fire spells. Currently I can usually get has much health back as the quest mobs do to me in damage over the course of a fight. Or if not, I will regain that health back within the short time between fights. And if it gets really bad, I can Ember Tap once and get a quarter of by health back.
The only thing I miss is Life Tap...but unless I am spamming Rain of Fire everywhere or Fel Flame, I don't think I can run out of mana easily. I might be able to if the fight lasts more than a few minutes, but I've not had that happen yet were I've been able to stand still and just cast for that long (not tried doing that on a target dummy yet).

Still subbed, but I don't think I have done anything past june 2011, didn't even bother to buy MoP
Really Cata was such a letdown, and thinking about how things turned more in "World of Daily-craft", I CBA-ed much more
I want to have some pride in the efforts I did, not instant gratification
I like adventure, discovery, and a challenge in those, instead of connect the dots -> Profit
I would like to see 50 levels of running around the world again
Find Mankrik's wife, get one-shot by Fel Reaver or any other Elite in a zone I shouldn't be at that level
live/play a story instead of a soap opera
Not grind levels, reps instances, heroics, points and raids like a rat running in a mill for a treat
just to do the same thing tomorrow, and the day after
The only thing keeping me subbed is the time and effort I spent in my character, and the certainty I won't be able to motivate myself to do it over again in the current type of gameplay

Don't Call Me Bro
In all honesty, in terms of the story and connectivity you crave, Pandaria is probably #2 in that regard. The Jade Forest line with Andiun, the SI;7 and Yu'lon was one of WoW's best zones and storylines for sure. Chen Stormstout's storyline went across several zones and was a good one. The four animal gods had decent storylines and aftermaths. The Kun-Lai/Townlong double punch was initially light hearted then became a real challenge. (Townlong while levelling was never a cake and required skill to avoid being ground down). Varian and co. got some decent treatment in 5.1. The scenarios are decent. And 5.2 has made gear acquirement rather fair even for the casual player.
However 5.2's lore is rather...weird...stupid even? Hopefully 5.3 and the immiment demise of Garrosh will be done properly. And yes, daily grinds can be annoying. But when you can roll them over fast simply by teaming with a couple of other people makes it bearable.
I don't raid anymore - benefits for time spent aren't worth it anymore and PvP is an unbalanced joke. Plus the mage nerfs went too far...I get they were a bit ahead of the curve, but the excessive nerfs to Arcane and Invocation were insulting. Typical Blizzard - leave it unbalanced for too long then go too far and force you to change specs when they attempt to.
The game's been around for over 8 years and may have been around beyond what it should have been. All franchises eventually run out of ideas and can't remain fresh/innovative forever. Blizzard stayed in business because in the long run, they did more things right than wrong, which their competition didn't.

Chen was fun this expansion. You don't interact with his a lot, but the acting is fun to listen to. Even in the Brewery talking to his auntie.
"This is no time for cookies... Well maybe just one cookie" Long silence. "Wait, these are ghost cookies. They are filling at all!'
I redid my Loremaster last year by completing all the revamped 1-60 zones. Some have changed a lot and others have not changed at all. Some didn't change but the presentation of the questlines was improved. Others reworked the zones so they have a story, rather than having you come into the zone only to finish questlines from other zones (and making you run from one end of the continent to the other and back three or five times). I think only three zones were not really changed at all, and with Pandaria, I suspect the Alliance chains around Theramore will change finally. The worst zone right now is Silithis. There are like 19 quests and no real story that I could do there.

Looking for Answers
Growing up in Chicago, Ryan always had a natural curiosity about the world. He would often ask questions that those around him had no answers to. This only increased his desire to know more, and this drive led him to physics.
"It seems like the more questions one asks about most things, the closer those questions get to [be] about physics," Ryan says.
Leading and Learning
An APS Minority Scholar and honor student, Ryan is now double majoring in Physics and Mathematics at Howard University in Washington, DC.
He is also president of his local Society of Physics Students (SPS) chapter. Recently, Nobel Laureate Eric Cornell visited the Howard, and Ryan knew it would be a great opportunity for the chapter to meet and speak with a leader in the field. Ryan took the initiative to invite Dr. Cornell as an SPS guest speaker and take an active part in the various events he was involved in.
"As a student, physics sometimes seems like a dead subject- I cannot meet Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein, so it was refreshing to meet someone involved in current physics in person and have a conversation with him about his work."
Getting His Feet Wet
In the summer of his sophomore year, Ryan was accepted into the International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program. IRES provided him with an internship at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle collider.
There, Ryan worked on AEgIS, which stands for "Antihydrogen Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy". AEgIS is a CERN experiment looking at how antimatter is affected by gravity.
Ryan's main work was determining the energy distribution of experimental antiprotons before they formed antihydrogen.
"I applied to this internship because it seemed amazing, and it exceeded my expectations," says Ryan. "[It was] a learning experience, so I was not prepared for everything that would come my way…[but] by the time I graduate from Howard, I'm sure I will be more than prepared for high level research like this."
Ryan plans to continue his physics studies after graduation by pursuing a physics PhD.
Embrace the Way Your Mind Works
Ryan believes that while students should be adaptable to their classes and learning environments, they need to figure out their own personal methods of studying and learning.
"A big problem with education systems is that they are geared towards a particular type of student. Teachers typically use very unilateral teaching methods," Ryan says. "Of course, you have to be adaptable enough to read textbooks and do some things the hard way, but if you read slow, if you learn in an unconventional way, if you would rather watch videos than read a textbook, don't feel bad; embrace the way your mind works."
Don't Limit Learning to the Classroom
"Try to get the most out of teachers, but don't let them limit you," Ryan says.
Ryan believes students should not limit their drive and curiosity to what they can learn in a classroom. This is where research opportunities and internships can come into play, taking learning to another level.
Give Yourself Credit
Ryan believes students should be honest with themselves and their struggles.
"[Physics] is hard. Many people in science or math want to seem too smart for anything to be hard, but I confess it is very hard...sometimes...I don't feel up to the challenge," Ryan says.
Ryan believes also however this honesty extends to acknowledging their many talents and abilities.
"If you wait for confirmation from someone else to tell you that you're awesome at something that you actually are awesome at, you'll live much of your life underestimated and unappreciated."

A Richlands man is in the hospital after his moped crashed into an SUV.
A Richlands man is in the hospital after his moped crashed into an SUV.
At around 10:52 a.m., Charles Parker Jr., 58, of Richlands, was driving a moped in the center turn lane on Gum Branch Road near Baysden Drive when his vehicle ran into the front right of a 1997 GMC SUV driven by Jonathan Rhum, 36, of Jacksonville, Trooper J.L. Morton of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said.
Rhum�s vehicle was stopped and waiting to turn onto Baysden Drive when the crash occurred.
Parker�s moped had just passed Morton�s parked cruiser moments before the impact. �I wondered why he was riding in the turn lane,� Morton said. �I came around the corner and saw traffic stopped. He (Parker) was lying on the ground.�
Parker was transported to Onslow Memorial Hospital. He was then transported to New Hanover Medical Center with a non-life-threatening injury, according to Morton. Rhum did not have any injuries from the crash.
When Parker hit the front of the SUV, he was thrown from the moped, which then turned over in the road. The moped sustained heavy front-end damage; the SUV had minor damage.
Charges are still pending in the crash, and it remains under investigation.

Festival selects Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren
BRIDGEPORT -- This year's Barnum Festival has its Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren.
Sebastian Machado, 9, and Nektaria Karagiannis, 8, representing Our Lady of Assumption School in Fairfield and Jane Ryan School in Trumbull, respectively, won the spots in the 2013 Ringmaster's Royal Family.
As members of the royal family, Sebastian and Nektaria will preside over all of the festival's events.
Each year, the festival asks local schools to nominate a boy and girl from third or fourth grade to participate in the Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren contest. The event is named after the slight entertainer and his wife, who were made famous by Bridgeport showman P.T. Barnum.
A panel of judges selected Sebastian and Nektaria from 40 nominees based on their "records of academic leadership, enthusiasm and social skills," according to a press release issued by the festival.
"The contestants in this year's Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren contest were a joy to meet," said 2013 Barnum Festival Ringmaster John F. Stafstrom, Jr.

MLB.com reports that the Boston Red Sox have reached a seven-year, $72-million deal with prized Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo.
The website cited an unidentified industry source as saying Friday that Castillo, 27, is no longer negotiating with other teams as the final details are worked out.
The Red Sox have not confirmed that a signing is close.
The contract would eclipse the $68 million rookie-of-the-year candidate Jose Abreu received over six years from the Chicago White Sox, the biggest deal ever signed by an amateur.
Castillo left Cuba six months ago and established residency in Haiti. He was cleared by the U.S. government to sign with a team last month and was later declared a free agent by Major League Baseball.
Twenty-eight teams scouted Castillo during a workout in Miami last month.
Castillo was suspended by Cuba for one-year for a previous, unsuccessful attempt to defect, and is not playing now.
He is represented by Roc Nation Sports, a joint venture between rapper Jay Z's Roc Nation and CAA Sports.

A jury has acquitted Michael Ibrahim of conspiring to murder the man he believed was responsible for shooting his brother Fadi Ibrahim.
Michael Ibrahim, 34, and his co-accused, Rodney "Goldie" Atkinson, 32, pleaded not guilty to conspiring between July 4, 2009, and September 25, 2009, at Broken Hill and elsewhere to murder John Macris.
Both men were acquitted at the Downing Centre District Court in Sydney on Monday.
During the trial, which started in November, crown prosecutor Eric Balodis said Fadi Ibrahim was left in a coma and hospitalised for weeks after being shot a number of times on June 5, 2009.
At the time, Michael Ibrahim was in the Broken Hill correctional centre.
"It's the crown case that Michael Ibrahim believed or suspected a man called John Macris was responsible for his brother's shooting," Mr Balodis said.
"Michael Ibrahim agreed with Rodney Atkinson that there was to be a retribution or response.
"John Macris was to be killed. Rodney Atkinson was to kill him."
The jury heard that when police raided Atkinson's home on September 24, 2009, they found two photographs of Mr Macris, a piece of paper with the address next door to where he lived, a NSW police identity badge and two firearms.
They were also told that Michael Ibrahim relied on associates because he felt his brothers were unreliable.
But Peter Morrissey, SC, representing Michael Ibrahim, told the jury to keep an open mind and that Michael Ibrahim was "chasing money" from Mr Macris.
"This was about collecting money from an unco-operative individual," he said.
James Trevallion, representing Atkinson, told the jury Michael Ibrahim and Atkinson were primarily interested in making money.

A court has ruled that Halle Berry cannot move to France with her daughter on a permanent basis.
The actress, who is currently fighting with 4-year-old Nahla's father Gabriel Aubry over custody arrangements, was told yesterday (November 9) that she will not be allowed to involve her child in plans to relocate to Paris to live with fiancé Olivier Martinez.
According to TMZ, Berry had argued that the large paparazzi presence in LA made California too dangerous a place to bring up her daughter.
The Cloud Atlas star claimed that a life in France would be safer for all those involved and insisted that she never intended to block Aubry's access to his child.
However, the judge rejected her pleas and ruled in favour of the French-Canadian male model.
Last week, Berry told The Wendy Williams Show that her daughter is keen to have a baby sister.
"She's asking me every day," Berry said. "Every night we do our prayers - we pray to God, so sweet - and she says, 'God, please bring me a bunk bed and a baby sister'."

MARIETTA, Ohio - Stephen Morton and Greg Tao earned All-America honors with a pair of fourth-place finishes to help lead MIT to an impressive showing at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Tech's 10 points were good for 29th place out of 81 teams competing.

Six months after his nasty breakup with Gucci, the fashion house he built into a cultural juggernaut, Tom Ford has a new book and outlook. But as Michael Hainey discovers, he is still up to his old tricks.
In 1994 the Gucci fashion house was like the New York Yankees in the early '70s: a storied organization that had slid into the cellar of irrelevance. The Yankees, of course, were bought by George Steinbrenner, and Gucci turned to its resident wunderkind, a 32-year-old Texas-born designer named Tom Ford, who'd been with the company since 1990. Over the next ten years, Ford (and his business partner, Domenico De Sole) restored swagger and sex to Gucci, using a recipe of...swagger and sex. In the process, the company went from $263 million in revenues during Ford's first year as creative director to $3.2 billion by the time he left last spring after a showdown with management over creative control. Since then, Ford has been relatively silent, letting rumors swirl about his next move: Will he take over another fashion house? Direct movies? Design furniture? Questions remain, although in this interview, which took place at the Hotel Bel-Air last August, Ford came—well, clean....
What has it been like for you since you left Gucci?
It's so sad for me. I went through a really tough sort of depression, which I think is normal. It was fourteen years of my life. And I knew it was coming, too. The last six months were insane—I was trying to have this amazing show and go out in as strong a way as I could. Now I think I will take a few weeks off—but not really, because I'm going to be working. I just feel like I need a little space. [The waitress comes to take the drink order.] I shouldn't while I'm being interviewed.
I shouldn't while I'm interviewing.
I am usually quite a lush. I love drinking. But I stopped drinking for vanity reasons. I put on some pounds, and I'm getting a little puffy. Gotta lose the ten pounds I gained.
You should have a drink.
You're the Devil. I'll have a drink.
Did you drink a lot after you left Gucci?
I drank through the whole thing. Maybe I was a bad boss. I think I was a good boss. Five o'clock every day, man, it was cocktail hour. And those cocktails came out, trays of vodka tonics, and the whole staff would keep drinking till like nine, and we'd do that every day, every day. Because in a creative profession, sometimes loosening up is the best idea. Seriously.
Did you need to see a shrink after Gucci and losing your job?
I've never seen one. And I would love to. I may do that. I was always traveling so much and never had the time. The last few years, I intended to—because I needed to, because so much was going on.
My suspicion is you're surrounded by people by who always want to tell you what you want to hear.
Not at all. I wish! [laughs] God. Richard Buckley [Ford's companion of eighteen years]—I wish he'd tell me what I want to hear!
I think the fashion world in general is a little joyless.
It's like high school, too, by the way.
Could we talk about sex?
Yes, please. You go for it.
You brought sex into the mainstream.
Maybe. It's funny, I think people make more of sex and my sexuality and my views on sex than I do. I'm kind of just myself. Meaning that I've always been quite cool about sex, and comfortable talking about sex, and comfortable having sex, and comfortable with my sexuality. And comfortable with kind of anything anybody wants to do. And that's a big part of it. I think sex is one of the nice things in life. I don't know why everybody makes a big deal about it. I find violence much more offensive than sex.
How old were you when you lost your virginity?
I was 14.
What was her name?
What do you remember?
Her tits. We were sitting in my grandmother's house on this mountain in Santa Fe, and she unbuttoned her shirt and they just spilled out. [laughs] I was 14, she was 15. But she'd been having sex since she was 13. So she just decided she was going to sleep with me, and she liked me, and that was that.
And how old were you when you first slept with a guy?
I'd just turned 18. His name's Ian Falconer. You might know him. He writes children's books.
The guy who writes the Olivia the Pig books?
Yeah. We're still best friends. Have you ever slept with a guy?
**No. **
Every man should be fucked at some point in his life. You shouldn't force yourself to do it. But it's really not that different than having a massage.
I'm too repressed.
That's silly. Everyone should try it. It doesn't feel that much different. It's skin. You should do it with someone you like. Do it with a friend who you think is great. It's very easy. It's normal. You've never kissed a guy?
Only on the cheek.... People must throw themselves at you all the time.
No one throws themselves at me, ever. People are either afraid of me or know that I'm married.
You're saying no one ever propositions you or grabs your thigh?
Maybe it's just that no one I particularly like does. I can't go to bars. I mean, I couldn't go out to a homo club even if I wanted to. The fact is, I've become more and more a sex symbol, but it's like it's been less and less sex.
Where does the image of Tom Ford separate from the reality of Tom Ford? Is what I see what I get?
** **You don't believe me?
You seem entirely fabricated. I think it's all artifice with you. Like, I wonder what is the true Tom Ford. I wonder if even you know who it is, or remember.
There are many things in me that are real and true to who I am, who I always have been. I'm sweet. [laughs] I'm romantic. I like to be silly. I'm very silly.
If I had five words to describe Tom Ford, silly wouldn't be one.
Oh, I like to just have fun and be silly and say pretty much whatever comes into my mind, do pretty much whatever I want. Maybe my image is different, because I am very controlling in my image. I mean, you'll never see a picture of me necessarily being silly, but...
I think you're a control freak.
In terms of my image, absolutely I'm a control freak. For instance, I'm not as tall as people think.
No, you're not.
I wear high heels. [laughs] Like these that I have on. They're stupid; I need to get rid of them. But I did these like two or three seasons ago, and I started wearing them, and then every time I change into another pair of shoes, I feel sort of less strong.
Do you have a butler?
Does he lay your clothes out for you?
He doesn't do that. Because I like to choose at the last minute when I'm getting dressed. Having a butler's a nice thing, if you can afford it. When I come home in the evening, he's turned all the lights on to exactly the level of dimness that I like. Lights the fires, lights the candles, puts on the stereo, draws my bath.
You take a bath?
I take three baths a day. I don't ever take a shower.
Why do anything standing up when it's something that you can do lying down?
Okay, Diana Vreeland. You're a long way from Texas.
Oh, I don't know. There are people like that in Texas.
But is there ever a moment when you sit there and think, I can't fucking believe where I am and where I came from?
All the time. I am so lucky. But on the other hand, I have the life that as a kid I wanted.
You knew you wanted this life as a kid?
Yeah, I created it. As you said, I'm self-invented. Everybody can do that. And I think you should.
But as a kid, you weren't fantasizing about being a designer, were you?
Oh, I so was. I wanted to live in an amazing, glamorous apartment in New York. I wanted to have a butler and have fabulous cocktail parties, and I wanted to have beautiful friends and beautiful cars and beautiful things, absolutely.
You're known for your ten-year plans. Do you have one for the next ten years?
Mm-hm. Maybe less. And I suppose this is something that only comes to people who have had a goal and were fortunate enough to reach it. There does come a certain security and confidence, and I have that. Even if I never did anything again, I will feel that I had a voice in modern culture, that I made my contribution, that I lived my dream, my life. I was super-driven at one point. I'm still driven, but maybe I don't take it as seriously as I did.
Because I feel good about what I've accomplished. It doesn't mean that's all there is, and maybe now I need to focus on a different side of my life, but I think it's all sort of a journey and you have to keep on.
What do you think your obituary's going to say?
I have no idea. And actually, I don't care. Although I did just design my mausoleum.
Yeah. Tadao Ando, the Japanese architect who built the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, is building a house for us in New Mexico. Actually we've just broken ground on the mausoleum. It's on a place where we've been camping, underneath this rock cliff. We have a pair of eagles, a nest there. When you enter the mausoleum, you go down and then come into a circular room. And there are slots in the walls, and there's room for a couple of horses and dogs.... I'm just sort of having fun with it. Because we're all going to end up dead, so why not have fun with it while you're alive? I designed my casket. It was very simple, modest, although in very expensive rosewood. And it goes into a box that is black granite. Slotted in the wall.
When did you design it?
In the last year.
Well, because we're doing this ranch and because New Mexico, for me, is home. I was just sitting there one day, and I thought, if I had to pick any place in the world, where would I want to be? This is it. So why not just make this part of the design project! I designed the house with an elevator in it, so I can live there until I die.
Actually, the reason I started doing this was my dog John died. And the ashes were in a box in my safe in Santa Fe. I loved this dog. And I liked the idea of going and sitting and sort of visiting with John. So it's a meditation space. My parents are getting up in age, too, and at some point I'll have to cope with that. Where the hell am I going to put them? I don't want to stick them in some cemetery with anybody. I want to be able to go and sort of just sit and think about how wonderful they were and how much I loved them.... You're not staying here at the hotel, are you?
No, I'm not.
Too bad. You're adorable!
Oh, no.
Look at your ankles. Quite cute. And your neck—so nice....We should go have drinks.
The whole seduction thing you're doing now, I know what you're doing. I've heard about you.
See, you're kind of turning red. It's cute!
Well, you know what, I...
You want us to get a room?
I'll go get a room.
We can do the rest of the interview naked.
I can't do that.
Too bad we didn't do the interview at my house. My house is so seductive.
I'm sure it is.
So you've never slept with a man?
I told you, no.
I think we'd have nice sex. I don't know why guys get all flipped-out by this. There's nothing like sex with a man. Strong arms...
I like thin wrists, a long neck...
That's probably the difference between straight and gay right there. I don't want to sleep with anything with thin wrists. I want to sleep with something strong and powerful. My equal. That could be a sort of match to the death. Where we're pitted against each other. It disturbs me that their wrists are thin. It disturbs me that they're willowy. That I could hurt them, that they're fragile. It makes me behave differently with them and give them latitude that I would not give to a man.
I think I'm more comfortable with women than men, in my friendships. I mean, I'm not a guy's guy.
I am. I like the company of men. I like to go out and get drunk and talk about pussy. I'm quite sporty for a fag. I like to play tennis and swim, play golf and ski and ride, and you know, I'm sort of... I like men!
That's because you're gay!
Yeah. But a lot of gay men have only women friends. They like to fuck men, but they want to, like, talk about drapes. And I can talk about drapes, but I actually like men. I think gay men are the most masculine of all men. Because not only are you attracted to that, but you also are that. Your life is completely masculine.
Let's talk about women for a second. And what I call the skankification of the culture.
What does that mean? Define "skankification."
There's no line between sexy and slutty anymore, and you kind of erased it.
What's wrong with sluts? I remember being like 11 and seeing the series I, Claudius on Masterpiece Theatre, which we watched as a family every Sunday. And I remember Claudius's wife, Messalina, I believe, had a fuck-off with the most famous prostitute in Rome. And basically she made a fool of the whores by fucking more.... She actually outfucked whoever the most famous prostitute in Rome at the time was. And I remember thinking, Wow! If I were a woman, I would have done that. Because how great to do that. If sluttiness is what you like, what's wrong with that? Why do we think being a slut's bad? Sluttiness is just a lot of freedom.
I didn't say it's bad.
To some people, sluttiness is sexiness. For some people, sexiness is a librarian, or a schoolgirl. In pleated skirts and field-hockey pads. I happen to find hair under people's arms and hair on people's legs sexy, but then, of course, I'm a homosexual. So I don't know. In a way, we've desexed women. We've demystified them. We've stripped away their natural state. We're sort of reviled by weight—we've set an almost unattainable goal. But I'm guilty of this, I'm part of it. We've dehumanized them. They're so clean and scrubbed and polished and lacquered, and they become objects and things, or I guess they always were.
But you said you liked women with a touch of dirtiness.
I like everybody with a touch of dirty. I mean, I'm not saying I want to go between someone's legs and find flies buzzing around there.... It should be clean. But we've gotten silly about this. There's nothing worse than kissing somebody, or hugging somebody, or going under their arm and smelling deodorant and like Lifebuoy soap. The smell of a body is a great thing.
Are you afraid for what comes next? I mean, you could fail.
Yeah. It's not like people haven't had their knives out for me for the last ten years. And it's a constant. It's true, I might fail. But I'd be more upset if I didn't try anything.
What are you cursed with?
I'm cursed with the pursuit of a kind of perfection that doesn't exist and is unnatural. And it often ruins moments that should just be nice. And I'm working on it. In the fashion industry, by the nature of it, we're always living in tomorrow. Because you're not thinking what's in style now but in eighteen months. And my life is always about that: "I'm not happy today, but I'll be happy tomorrow. My house is not finished today, but it will be finished tomorrow. When it's finished tomorrow, I'm going to be happy." And then today just goes away.
Most of the year, I was at a shoe factory, or a handbag factory, or a clothing factory, working all day long. So the fashion world for me is really all this hard work. And sitting in meetings, hearing what was selling, what wasn't selling, what was working, what wasn't working, why wasn't it working, why this was working—you know, nya nya nya.... So it was really work—quite sculptural and at the same time commercial and sleuthlike, trying to figure out what was coming next. It took over my life. And the moment it's done you can't rest, because two months later a whole new bunch of stuff has to come to the stores to keep the company afloat. And so that was great fun: "What the fuck are we going to do now!" Just a constant unending thing.
I think I live too much in the past.
Who cares about the past? It's finished! Today, the future, but the past? You can live in that when you're in your eighties. I never live in the past. Other than my looks. I look at pictures all the time and I say, "I wish my eyes were still like that" and "God, I wish I still had all that hair." And "I wish my ass were still like that." God, I remember when I could flip around onto my stomach naked in front of anybody.
You're vain.
Totally, completely, absolutely vain. You think I'm an asshole. I'm sorry. You have sexy hands.
Stop it!
You're probably seeing a side of me that has been—
That's okay. That's alright.
Any more questions you want to ask me? And then can we turn that off?
Is that a scar there on your forehead?
No, but I need to have that filled with collagen. I have Botox right here and collagen right in my brow lines. I'm going to have some collagen put in there. It's probably because this part is all Botox, and so it's dead smooth. So I need to have that fid. I noticed that the other day. Thanks for pointing it out.
I wasn't pointing it out.
That's okay. I don't mind looking 42. I just want to look like a good 42. I don't want to look younger, I don't care. But yeah, I need to have that fid.
I wouldn't.
Then I need to accentuate it more. Maybe I'll go home and get the razor and cut it. Turn the tape recorder off. You've had enough interview.

Publisher's Description▼▲
A dusty carved box containing two locks of hair and a century-old letter regarding property in Switzerland, and a burning desire to learn about her biological family lead nurse-midwife Lexie Jaeger from her home in Oregon to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. There she meets Marta Bayer, a mysterious lay-midwife who desperately needs help after an Amish client and her baby die.
Lexie steps in to assume Marta's patient load even as she continues the search for her birth family, and from her patients she learns the true meaning of the Pennsylvania Dutch word demut, which means to let be as she changes from a woman who wants to control everything to a woman who depends on God.
A compelling story about a search for identity and the ability to trust that God securely holds our whole life past, present, and future.
This story accurately portrays the human desire for belonging and acceptance. Clark and Gould accomplish this masterfully by magnifying this need as the focal point of the story. While not exaggerated, it is emphasized just enough to be evident. The authors also demonstrate how dissension grows and destroys if it is not dealt with properly. The climactic scene shows this above and beyond what is expected, and it springs to life as the perfect culmination to the plot.
Whereas many of the characters are in constant conflict with one another throughout the book, Clark and Gould do not overdo it, and rewarding moments are nicely balanced with setbacks and challenges. The plot is strong and enjoyable, and the characters' back-stories naturally complement the narrative. The Amish Midwife is also sound in its portrayal of godly relationships. This book, with its seamlessness, mystery, and Christian values, is a must-read. It will be enjoyed by both young adult and older women. Rachel Vachon, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

NYTimes Sues The Federal Government For Refusing To Reveal Its Secret Interpretation Of The PATRIOT Act
from the secret-laws-and-secret-interpretations dept
Given all of this, reporter Charlie Savage of the NY Times filed a Freedom of Information Act request to find out the federal government's interpretation of its own law... and had it refused. According to the federal government, its own interpretation of the law is classified. What sort of democracy are we living in when the government can refuse to even say how it's interpreting its own law? That's not democracy at all.
Julian Sanchez points us to the news that Savage and the NY Times have now sued the federal government for not revealing its interpretation of the PATRIOT Act, pointing out that if parts of the interpretation contain classified material, the Justice Department should black that out and reveal the rest, but simply refusing to reveal the interpretation entirely is a violation of the Freedom of Information Act. You can bet that the feds will do everything they can to get out of this lawsuit, just as they did with the various lawsuits concerning warrantless wiretapping. Here's hoping the court systems don't let them. No matter what you think of this administration (or the last one) and how it's handling the threat of terrorism, I'm curious how anyone can make the argument that the US government should not reveal how it interprets the very laws under which it's required to operate.

Wisconsin total deer harvest continues increasing trend, sets archery buck record in 2012
MADISON -With data entry nearly complete, hunter-supplied numbers indicate that 366,747 deer were harvested in Wisconsin for the 2012 seasons, a 5% increase from 2011, according to Department of Natural Resources officials.
This tally will again rank the state in the top five deer hunting states in the country for total harvest and continues the trend of increased deer harvest for the third consecutive year.
"Good hunting conditions throughout the fall, high numbers of both hunters and deer, and an early gun opener all added up to a lot of hunter success," said Kevin Wallenfang, DNR big game ecologist. "Like any year, we heard from hunters who had a great season and others who were disappointed, but overall harvest trends have been on the rise."
Of the grand total, 245,539 deer were harvested during the traditional nine-day November gun season and another 93,452 during the archery season. Of the archery season total, 45,775 were bucks, making it the new record buck archery harvest of all time for Wisconsin.
"It was a great year for buck harvest, especially in the farmland areas," Wallenfang said. "Wisconsin has always been known as a great producer of trophy bucks, but this year has likely secured Wisconsin's standing in the record books. It will be a lot of fun to attend the deer hunting shows this spring to see just what was taken."
All other combined gun seasons added an additional 27,756 deer to the total harvest. Harvest numbers are still preliminary while the archery season continues in metro units, and are in the process of being reviewed by field biologist.
Also being reviewed is feedback DNR received from hunters at deer registration stations and from the Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey.
"Reports we have received from several areas of the state have shown increasing trends in deer sightings during both the archery and firearm seasons compared with last year and the past several years," said Brian Dhuey, DNR wildlife surveys and database manager.
"We will be using harvest data along with survey responses to gauge hunter participation, effort, impressions of deer numbers and satisfaction," said Dhuey. "This, combined with statewide public meetings this spring on herd status, will allow the public to participate in the deer management process."
For more information on the preliminary deer harvest by season and deer management unit, please visit WIDNR and search for "deer harvest."

For Razy's Birthday all she kept asking for was Princess and The Frog. She had never even seen the movie all the way through. I think that it was because the word Princess was in the title. I don't know who loved her cake more, her or I. Everything is edible, except for the figurines. I even tried out gumpaste flowers for the first time and loved it.
Love the effect the blue piping gel gave to the pond.
One happy little princess.

The difference is we're placing a lower value on physical retribution. All the toughness in the world won't help you if you don't get the players that help you on the scoreboard.Strangelove wrote: Funniest thing about this thread is that Coco & Pot are both on record stating Canucks need to get tougher.
The days of nuclear deterrent's scaring the daylights out of opponents and protecting stars like Gretzky are over. The NHL has changed and enforcers and tough guys simply don't have the same deterrent value.
I've been critical of the instigator rule for a long time and I love fighting and physical hockey, but it doesn't have the same place and value in the game as it used to and it's just a fact. With that in mind, unless your team is built for toughness, i.e. Boston, you have to create a roster of players that can score under any circumstances and play strong defense. Yes toughness is valuable and you need a mix of players to be successful, but if you don't have the players that thrive and score goals, you won't win games.
You seem to be saying the only way you can get retribution is by scoring on the subsequent PP, otherwise they didn't make them pay.ClamRussel wrote: Inconsequential, the point was the NHL did nothing. A 2min "boarding" penalty is hardly looking after the (star) players. Might as well have been no penalty. Did the Canucks score on that PP? No. ie they didn't make him pay.
The Canucks went 3 of 7 on the PP in game two and proceeded to beat San Jose 7-3, taking a 2-0 lead in the series. The Canucks did score on a goal on Eager's second penalty, a trip in Raymond.
San Jose, namely Eager, flew around the ice and tried to even the score for Bieksa beating up Marleau and they ended up taking 7 penalties and giving up 3 power play goals.
Hey, but Eager sure showed the Canucks that they can't take liberties with their star players...
You're making two major assumptions.ClamRussel wrote: My point was not whether Eager is effective, its whether allowing the Sedins to be rammed from behind into the boards in hopes of scoring a PP goal is really a wise game plan long term.
One, that the Canucks have a game plan that says "let's let the other team take runs at our star players so we can go on the man advantage."
Secondly, that the Canucks would prevent any future questionable hits to their star players if they had a physical response.
We can argue this until we're blue in the face, but if you scan the NHL since the lock-out, you'll see star players on tough teams still getting smacked with dirty hits. Having someone on your team that goes after physical retribution does not work as a magical deterrent.
Granted, having more physical guys who can respond make your team tougher to face and it may help cut down on some of the after the whistle pushing around, but if you think anyone will be holding up in game speed then you're seriously misjudging the effect of having guys who can answer the bell physically.

Brooklyn College: Possible Investigation of Professor's Expression
Category: Free Speech
Schools: Brooklyn College, City University of New York
In a direct attack on academic freedom and free speech, the Brooklyn College School of Education tried to silence one of its most prominent critics, history professor KC Johnson. After publicly criticizing perceived indoctrination and viewpoint discrimination by members of the Brooklyn College faculty, Johnson faced a possible investigation by a Brooklyn College "Integrity Committee" for his constitutionally protected speech. In a swift and crucial victory for freedom of speech and academic freedom, Brooklyn College affirmed that Johnson would not be subjected to an unconstitutional inquisition into his views. The college surrendered mere days after FIRE came to Johnson's public defense.
Education Programs May Have a 'Disposition' for Censorship
First Amendment and Academic Freedom Triumph at Brooklyn College
Brooklyn College Threatens Inquisition to Silence Dissenting Professor
Campus Alert: Think like us–or else
June 4, 2007
Columbia University's Teachers College is one of America's most prestigious education schools. For many students, it's probably the best—but not if you don't buy the school's definition of "social justice." Teachers College evaluates students in part on the basis of so-called "dispositions," defined as "observable behaviors" that "involve the use of certain skills." One "disposition" is the student's "Respect for Diversity and Commitment to Social Justice." This warps the discussion of whether a student might make a good teacher into whether that student has the "correct" personal, religious or political beliefs. Evaluating students' aptitude for teaching based on their commitment […]» Read More
Speech on Campus After 9/11: Less Free than It Used to Be?
May 25, 2006
Universities have traditionally been places where debate and the free exchange of ideas have been welcomed. But after 9/11, that may be changing — as some recent, troubling incidents suggest. In this column, I'll survey some recent incidents suggesting free speech on campus is in peril, and discuss the extent to which the First Amendment protects student and faculty speech Cracking Down on Student Demonstrators and Controversial Student Speech Recently, students at the University of Miami (a private school, but one with a stated policy of fostering free speech) demonstrated alongside striking maintenance workers to show solidarity. Now, they face […]» Read More
Class(room) Warriors
October 24, 2005
The cultural left has a new tool for enforcing political conformity in schools of education. It is called dispositions theory, and it was set forth five years ago by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education: Future teachers should be judged by their "knowledge, skills, and dispositions." What are "dispositions"? NCATE's prose made clear that they are the beliefs and attitudes that guide a teacher toward a moral stance. That sounds harmless enough, but it opened a door to reject teaching candidates on the basis of thoughts and beliefs. In 2002, NCATE said that an education school may require […]» Read More
FIRE Protests Threatened 'Inquisition' of Brooklyn College's Dissenting Prof.
September 20, 2005
By Jim Brown at Agape Press A New York college recently accused of threatening to censor a dissenting professor claims it has remained firm in its commitment to academic freedom. Brooklyn College claims it has not begun an investigation of outspoken Professor KC Johnson; however, the statement comes after the instructor was warned he may face such an official investigation. Johnson received the warning that he may face a Brooklyn College "Integrity Committee" investigation for criticizing the school's new ideological "litmus test" for education students. Each student in the department is now evaluated on his or her commitment to the […]» Read More
College backs off on dissenting professor
September 15, 2005
Faced with the threat of legal action, a New York City college pledged not to investigate a professor who objected to the school's policy of requiring education students be committed to a particular definition of "social justice." Brooklyn College's decision to stop pressuring history professor Robert "KC" Johnson is a "crucial victory for freedom of speech and academic freedom," declared the public-interest group that came to his defense, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE. FIRE said the college "surrendered" just a few days after the group began defending Johnson, ensuring the professor would "not be subjected to […]» Read More
Prof's protest of 'political litmus test' raises hackles
September 10, 2005
By Linda Seebach Oh, that KC Johnson. He's always getting into hot water. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that the administration at Brooklyn College of The City University of New York keeps trying to bring the water to a full rolling boil, hoping he'll jump out. Well, perhaps he should. He deserves better, and his institution doesn't deserve to keep him. But his students, who on the evidence are unlikely to encounter many other faculty members who exemplify the academic virtues of free inquiry and principled disagreement, need him.Robert KC Johnson is a tenured […]» Read More
'Disposition' Emerges as Issue at Brooklyn College
May 31, 2005
By Jacob Gershman at The New York Sun Brooklyn College's School of Education has begun to base evaluations of aspiring teachers in part on their commitment to social justice, raising fears that the college is screening students for their political views. The School of Education at the CUNY campus initiated last fall a new method of judging teacher candidates based on their "dispositions," a vogue in teacher training across the country that focuses on evaluating teachers' values, apart from their classroom performance. Critics of the assessment policy warned that aspiring teachers are being judged on how closely their political views […]» Read More
Disposition for Bias
May 23, 2005
By Elizabeth Johnson at Inside Higher Ed Little doubt exists that the nation's college faculty has become less intellectually diverse over the past generation. According to one recent study, self-described liberals or leftists increased from 39 percent in 1984 to 72 percent now, with even higher percentages among the ranks of humanities and social science professors. Speaking for the educational establishment, Jonathan Knight of the American Association of University Professors doubted "that these liberal views cut very deeply into the education of students." Knight might have looked at teacher-training programs before issuing his comment. There, the faculty's ideological imbalance has […]» Read More
David Thompson Speaks Out about KC Johnson and Social Justice Indoctrination
October 20, 2010
FIRE recently released a video about KC Johnson's dispute with the Brooklyn College School of Education (BCSOE) over an article he published on "Dispositions Theory," or the theory that prospective public school teachers must be disposed to certain sets of highly politicized beliefs. David Thompson's recent blog post, "Dissident Academic Feels the Warmth of 'Social Justice'" (cited by Amy Alkon in her subsequent article, "How to Screen Out Teachers with 'Undesirable' Social Beliefs") employs Johnson's case as an example to illustrate the dangers of promoting monolithic theories of social justice in education schools. Thompson reviewed various teacher-training outlines at education schools […]» Read More
New FIRE Video on KC Johnson's Fight for Academic Freedom
October 14, 2010
FIRE's Campus Freedom Network has released a new video today about Brooklyn College history professor KC Johnson's fight to protect his academic freedom. Johnson wrote a column publicly criticizing "dispositions theory," which education schools sometimes use as a political litmus test to ensure that students have the "correct" views on "social justice." In response, the Brooklyn College education department (31 professors) unanimously signed a letter demanding that he stop writing about dispositions theory and that he be investigated by an "Integrity Committee." With FIRE's help, Johnson fought back and vindicated his academic freedom, proving once again that universities cannot defend […]» Read More
The Trouble with 'Dispositions'
September 21, 2005
This morning, FIRE launched its second press release in two weeks detailing controversies surrounding the so-called dispositions evaluation of teaching candidates. Two weeks ago, we addressed the Brooklyn College School of Education's attempt to censor Professor K. C. Johnson after he criticized overtly ideological elements in the school's own dispositions program. Today, FIRE has set its sights on Washington State University. Already embroiled in controversy after financing and planning a disruptive and threatening protest of a controversial play, the university (this time acting through its school of education) has used "dispositions" theory to punish a self-described conservative Christian student for […]» Read More
Education Programs May Have a 'Disposition' for Censorship
September 21, 2005
PULLMAN, Wash., September 21, 2005—A new trend in campus censorship is emerging: this summer, Washington State University used "dispositions" theory to punish an education student for his political and religious expression. The university relented only after the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) became involved. "Dispositions" theory, increasingly in vogue in education programs, requires professors to evaluate their students' commitment to concepts such as "social justice" and "diversity" in conjunction with their actual scholastic achievement. Just last month, FIRE had to intervene when Brooklyn College professor K. C. Johnson was threatened with a secret investigation for questioning the use […]» Read More
Professor's First Amendment Rights Upheld at Brooklyn College
September 14, 2005
As FIRE announced in a press release this morning, Brooklyn College has conceded that Professor K. C. Johnson's public criticisms of dispositions theory are constitutionally protected and has affirmed that Professor Johnson will not be subject to any investigation as a result of his expression. This is a victory for academic freedom and freedom of speech, although it is disheartening that FIRE even needed to remind a public university that its students and faculty have the right to voice their opinions on matters of public concern. The college could not defend in public what Professor Johnson's would-be censors were doing […]» Read More

BROOKLYN, N.Y., September 14, 2005—In a swift and crucial victory for freedom of speech and academic freedom, Brooklyn College has affirmed that prominent professor K. C. Johnson will not be subjected to an unconstitutional inquisition into his views. The college surrendered mere days after the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) came to Johnson's public defense. Since May of this year, Johnson has been speaking out against the use of "dispositions" theory by Brooklyn College's School of Education (SOE). Since this theory requires that education students' commitment to "social justice" be evaluated along with academic performance, Johnson fears its […]» Read More
Criticism or Censorship?
September 8, 2005
In June of this year, the City University of New York at Brooklyn (Brooklyn College) was rocked by a story in the New York Sun reporting on a new method of evaluating education students. That method, called "dispositions," was designed in part to determine whether students had an appropriate commitment to "social justice." Students who were not sufficiently committed to the university's politicized vision of social justice could find that their education degrees—and future teaching careers—were in jeopardy. The "dispositions" theory plainly violates the Supreme Court's famous admonition that the government cannot "prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, […]» Read More
Brooklyn College Threatens Inquisition to Silence Dissenting Professor

BROOKLYN, N.Y., September 8, 2005—In a direct attack on academic freedom and free speech, the Brooklyn College School of Education (SOE) is seeking to silence one of its most prominent critics, history professor K.

After publicly criticizing perceived indoctrination and viewpoint discrimination by members of the Brooklyn College faculty, Johnson is facing a possible investigation by a Brooklyn College "Integrity Committee" for his constitutionally protected speech.

Real World vs. Ideal World
June 10, 2005
My recent posts regarding the differences between the free speech of department chairs and the free speech of professors have generated considerable lively discussion—both inside FIRE's offices and outside (for a thoughtful response to my latest post on Shortell, see this entry from Sherman Dorn). The details of Shortell's case bring up an interesting question: should a "free speech" organization ever publicly state that otherwise constitutionally protected speech can be restricted according to a person's position in public life? Shouldn't we be free speech "purists?" The answer to that question depends on the answer to another, different, question: "How effective […]» Read More
Shortell Declines Chairmanship After All
June 8, 2005
Just a quick update that Professor Timothy Shortell has decided not to take up the position as chair of the sociology department at Brooklyn College. This decision comes after controversy arose over his writings about religion and religious people on a non-school-related website. (Read David's posts for more details about the legal implications for Shortell's chairmanship and about freedom of speech for department chairs in general.)» Read More
Department Chairs and Free Speech
June 7, 2005
A good friend of FIRE wrote in response to my post regarding Timothy "Moral Retards" Shortell. In that post, I noted that department chairs, as administrators, do not have the same level of freedom to offer public comments as do professors. I also noted that because Shortell's comments involved an entire class of people covered by employment discrimination statutes, he now is an enormous liability risk to his university. Qualified individuals of religious faith who are denied employment at CUNY Brooklyn's sociology department now have powerful evidence of religious animus. Our FIRE friend writes: I am hard pressed to follow […]» Read More
'Moral Retards' and Academic Freedom
June 3, 2005
Inside Higher Ed has an interesting article regarding CUNY Brooklyn professor and administrator (he is chairman of the sociology department) Timothy Shortell. Shortell, as many may know, has started the clock running on his 15 minutes of fame in our academic freedom wars with a controversial essay regarding people of religious faith. Inside Higher Ed sets the stage: The essay, "Religion & Morality: A Contradiction Explained," critiqued the role of religion. "Modern religion is a fundamental belief in magic," he wrote. The essay also argued that religion had numerous negative consequences. Of religions, he wrote: "They persist today because they […]» Read More
'Dispositions' at Brooklyn College
May 31, 2005
In today's New York Sun, reporter Jacob Gershman—one of the few reporters who fully understands the critical cultural importance of civil liberties in higher education—writes about the use of the "dispositions" theory (discussed in Robert's post below) at CUNY Brooklyn. Gershman describes how "dispositions" is defined by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, which accredits roughly half the nation's education schools, and applied by Brooklyn College's School of Education: In 2000 the council introduced new standards for accrediting education schools. Those standards incorporated the concept of dispositions, which the agency maintains ought to be measured, to sort out […]» Read More

Dr. Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter, a mathematician who was hailed as one of the foremost geometricians of his generation and whose ideas inspired the drawings of M. C. Escher and influenced the architecture of R. Buckminster Fuller, died on March 31 in his home in Toronto. He was 96.
Dr. Coxeter, whose childhood fascination with symmetry led to his career in mathematics, was driven by the idea that beautiful explanations exist for all puzzles. Several mathematical concepts have been named for him, including Coxeter groups.
He also made major contributions to the theory of polytopes, which are complex objects of more than three dimensions that, while not existing in the real world, can be described mathematically.
Dr. Coxeter met M. C. Escher in 1954 at a mathematics conference in Amsterdam. Escher, a Dutch artist who had grown tired of repeating images of birds and fish on a flat plane, had heard about Dr. Coxeter's work on shapes in multidimensional space and sought him out.
After the conference, Dr. Coxeter sent him a copy of his paper ''Crystal Symmetry and Its Generalizations,'' which was illustrated with complex geometric figures, including a circle containing a pattern of objects that grew smaller and smaller as they neared the edge.Continue reading the main story
Inspired, Escher used this figure as a source for his series of ''Circle Limit'' etchings. Many of his most famous works, including ''Ascending and Descending,'' his 1960 illusion of interlocking staircases, reflect Dr. Coxeter's ideas about polytopes.
Dr. Coxeter and Escher remained friends until the artist's death in 1972. In 1996, Dr. Coxeter published a paper proving that Escher's ''Circle Limit III'' was mathematically perfect.
Dr. Coxeter was also friendly with R. Buckminster Fuller, who cited the influence of Dr. Coxeter's ideas on the development of the geodesic dome. Mr. Fuller dedicated his book ''Synergetics'' to Dr. Coxeter.
Harold Scott McDonald Coxeter, known as Donald, was born in London. A child musical prodigy, he was an accomplished pianist who composed various pieces for the piano, a string quartet and at the age of 12 an opera.
As a student at Cambridge, he was one of five students selected by Ludwig Wittgenstein to attend his philosophy of mathematics classes. He received his undergraduate and doctorate degrees from the university.
In 1936, Dr. Coxeter accepted a a position at the University of Toronto and remained there until his death.
He published more than 200 articles and wrote 12 books, including Non-Euclidean Geometry (1942); Introduction to Geometry (1961), which became a Book of the Month Club selection; and Regular Complex Polytopes (1974).
He also revised and rewrote many editions of Mathematical Recreations and Essays, a series originally published in the 19th century.
Dr. Coxeter's wife, Hendrina, died in 1999. He is survived by a daughter, Susan Thomas, and a son, Edgar.
Attributing his longevity to vegetarianism and a daily regimen of 50 push-ups, Dr. Coxeter traveled to a conference in Budapest in July 2002 to deliver an address on hyperbolic geometry.
According to John Bland of the University of Toronto's math department, he had just completed the final touches on his last paper.Continue reading the main story

DailyDirt: Life Across The Universe
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Stars in our galaxy generally travel only a few hundred miles per second relative to their peers, but some hypervelocity stars traveling at hundreds of thousands of miles per second might escape our galaxy -- and spread life across the universe. It could happen theoretically, but no one has yet observed this phenomenon directly. [url]
- Data from the Kepler mission suggests possibly-habitable planets exist near a significant fraction of all stars -- providing better estimates for values in the Drake equation. However, we're still probably very far away from our nearest neighbors (if they even exist). [url]
- How tough is DNA? Tough enough to survive on the outside of a rocket going to space and also re-entry from orbit. Presumably, this also means that it's not impossible for ET DNA to arrive on the tons of meteorites that hit our planet every day.[url]

I'm not teaching how to pentest,I'm asking.
I've been doing some basic hacking on systems and websites but have never done a pentest on a system or a website like a normal security guy(I'm not saying prof. simply becouse I don't want to have this as a profession but I need it as a skill.) and have been wanting to ask the questions below for a long long time.
1.How do you prepare?
So simply,how do you prepare for such an attack?Let's say you have a website like ebay.com and you want to take full control over it.How do you prepare for such an attack,do you use a vulnerability scanner or do you find the vulnerabilities yourself and exploit them yourself without any software?
2.How do you find the vulnerabilities and the ways to exploit them yourself?
If you're finding the vulnerabilities and the exploits for them yourself,from where do you learn all of them,becouse there are a lot of them?
3.What time did it took you to become a good pentester?
So what time did it took you for all of this work?I know that this cannot be done for 1-2 days and by my opinion it can take an year or two(even more).
4.How long a normal pentest on a system/website lasts?
How long can an ordinary pentest take?My guess is 2-3 hours depending on the website/system but I need to ask YOU before I make such conclusions?
Hope you understand my need on this and I will be glad to get an answer on these questions.
