Alton,February 7, 2010 at 12:33 p.m.
I am not into revisionism but I believe that the proper history should be taught. With that being said, there is not country like America. I had a chance to travel all over the world and I seen the good and the bad of all of them countries. What made us what we are is the fact that we can work together for a common objective but still be individuals to pursuit our own goals. This is not about a school board but actually what happens after school at the house. Our schools are not going to teach our kids to think but rather to answer the next evaluation test. It is up to us to sit with our kids or mentor the next generation to think, to come up with a solution to the problem. Either we sit on the side and let it happen what is coming, whatever that happens to be or we get in the game and do something to affect it.
And a very good place to start would be with the textbooks used in our public schools. It was only after a very vocal protest to the State Board of Education that American Exceptionalism was returned to its proper place in the history books used by our schools. That this defeat of the blame-America-first crowd required a very vocal protest says volumes about the mindset that seems to be prevalent on the Board of Education.February 7, 2010 at 11:04 a.m.

Very good write up on HRM
usually I will paste those article here in fear of those website closing down. but this is pretty lengthy so have a good read and take it all in after a long Sunday run. Doing intervals later today, hope it doesn't rain cats and dogs again.
Garmin Connect and its features
Lemme show you what Garmin Connect looks like
This my friends is the dashboard, shows you practically what you have done in the few days or rather the whole month
This is the Calender and its my favourite for being a motivational tool, after every run, the Watch will wireless transfer all training data of the day into the dashboard as well as every tab in the Garmin connect, I love this as being the best motivational tool as it tally's the total of your time, runs etc.etc. on the side, you can display the activities, the weight, the goals and weekly total, and that's not all
This has got to be one of my favourite feature in the Garmin Connect, it allows you to set your goals and it tracks it after your run, If you look close enough you can see that one of them is already at 58% that was set yesterday, its to run 21km within 30days but looks like tomorrow its already going to be done, I dont do high mileage like some people but when I train its usually a 10km slow run everyday. I just created two more goals to achieve, one is what I call Run for time which I am needed to run 15hrs within 7 days, you do the math how many hours a day, and the last goal is called the "Mr 1kg of Blubber" this is a more realistic goal where I am needed to burn 7700calories which is equivalent to 1kg of FATS ! yes 7700 calories is 1kg of fats. Here is how i derive to the math
1 Kg of fat?
1 Kg is 2.2 lbs and 1 lb is 3500 calories, so 1 Kg is 3500 X 2.2= 7700
so yup, losing weight is a life process and not go to a doctor to suck it all out with a sucking metal, or worst going to those fat loss clinic where they say they going to help you and such, but are they really ??! You have to motive yourself to see the improvement over time, its not going to come easy, its not going to come tomorrow, my mentor once told me this, you doing gain all those *fats* in a day and you sure ain't going to lose it in a day.
So I hope you were not bored with me and my talks on Garmin features, what can I say its a pretty cool toy.
Garmin FR60 Unboxing
Ok here is the unboxing of my new toy, cost a bomb to get it. here it is:
2) 2xU Compression Run *12km
3) Passion Run *25km

Well there are a few but its way off my budget. Going to sleep now, see you guys in a few more hours and best of all TRAIN HARD and HAVE FUN !
Want to Burn Fats ?
Arctic birds can fly 47 mph for 100 hours at a stretch during their
annual migration of 7,800 miles. Grey whales travel from Alaska to
Mexico at 5 mph for three weeks without eating. Tarahumara Indians of
Mexico have been known to chase deer until the deer collapses in
exhaustion, its hooves worn away.
These incredible feats of endurance and speed are fueled by fat.
Like migratory animals, the capacity to burn large amounts of fat for
fuel is in the human genetic code. Unlike migratory animals, however,
if humans dont use it, they lose the capacity to burn fat.
People who are out of shape instead have to rely on limited
carbohydrate supplies for energy. One gram of carbohydrate has only 4
calories of energy compared to 9 calories in each gram of fat.
The more fat you burn, the more energy you can generate and the better your endurance.
A study of Chris Boardman, after he set cyclings famed one-hour time
trial world record, revealed that he could burn 1 one pound of fat in
three hours of riding compared to 18 hours it took for recreational
cyclists to burn an equivalent amount of fat.
The ability to use fat for fuel is something you teach your body to
do, and the benefits extend far beyond exercise. Exercise and diet
strategies can develop your metabolic potential to burn fat, allowing
your body to burn more fat all the time.
Someone who is just starting an exercise program can expect
substantial changes in just two weeks. After 12 weeks, fat burning can
be increased by as much as 40%.
Time your food intake. Try to avoid eating for the two hours prior
to exercise. Best yet, exercise first thing in the morning on an empty
stomach. When you eat foods that contain carbohydrate and/or protein,
insulin levels increase in the blood. Insulin reduces fat metabolism in
the muscle and blocks fat leaving the fat tissue. The end result is
lowered use of fat for fuel.
It is also important to include two servings of "good fat" in your
daily diet, such as salad dressings, peanut butter, avocado, almonds,
salmon or olives.
Long exercise sessions send a strong signal to increase fat burning.
For the first 20 – 30 minutes of an exercise session, or until you're
warmed up, the fuel mix your muscles burn will be high in
carbohydrates. After that, a combination of hormone release and
increased oxygen supply will change the fuel mix to include higher
amounts of fat.
Unfortunately, many people stop exercising just when their muscles are starting to burn fat.
After an hour of exercise and again at three hours, fat burning is
increased even further. Include one long exercise session in your
training program each week. Build up time by increasing the length of
your longest session by 10 – 15 minutes each week.
Multisport athletes may want to do a long training session in each
sport. More than that can result in excess fatigue, injury and illness
and interfere with training.
How long you go depends on your goals. Someone who is exercising for
basic fitness or weight control may want to build up to two hours of
continuous exercise. A marathon runner would get the most benefit from
a three-hour run. A cyclist or Ironman athlete may want to build up to
five to six hours.
Successful ultra-runners have been known to have training sessions
of eight hours. However, the point of diminishing returns appears to be
three hours.
How hard you go makes a big difference in fat burning. During
aerobic training sessions, your target heart rate should be at the top
of the fat burning zone, or the intensity where your muscles are
burning the highest amount of fat. For most people, this is around 65%
to 70% of maximum heart rate. This is the point where you can hear
yourself breathe, and any talking will be interrupted.
If you cant talk, youre going too hard. If you can chat with ease,
youre going too easy and youre just not sending enough of a signal.
After basic fat metabolism has been established, sprint training can
increase fat metabolism even further. However, it must be emphasized
that a foundation of aerobic training and strength should be built
Heart Rate Chart for everyone
1) Polar
2) Timex
I have used a Polar and Nike from previous before and I found that its really invaluable to our training regime, follow your heart and listen to your heart, I am sure you will be please with your results in the end, give your self some time, you resting heart rate *RHR* would not be very good for a start but you will see it improves gradually when you train properly. I use to have a RHR of 45bpm – 60bpm when I am doing nothing, but after a long hiatus from my training I guess its back to an average person of 70bpm – 80bpm. I am still searching for a right HRM to buy and I kinda guess what I am going to buy already so wait for the next blogpost on it. So here today I am going to share with you the training HR chart: below you will be two charts for example and will explain in brief.
Well I dont expect you to run out and buy a HRM now at this instant, try going out for a daily run maybe once a week, ask yourself after that run do you feel more energized? do you feel alert and able to do daily task with out feeling tired, if you answer yes to all, you are on your way to a better lifestyle, but in any case you feel you would like to buy one and dont know how to start do feel free to email me or leave me a comment. I am sure I would be able to give you some advise. Cheers !
Which Appeals to you more ?
Adulteres! Caused by Nannies
Mothers who outsource the care of their sons to other women may be
inadvertently raising adulterers. Or so claims Dr. Dennis Friedman in a
book that has kicked up a bit of a ruckus in Britain. A Fellow of the
Royal College of Psychiatrists, the doctor argues that men become
womanizers because their mothers left them with nannies.
According to Friedman, having two women care for a baby boy may
cause his little brain to internalize the idea that there are multiple
females to meet his needs. "It introduces him to the concept of the
other woman," he said in London's Daily Telegraph. He explicates the relationship in his book The Unsolicited Gift: Why We Do The Things We Do, which explores how a mother's love for her offspring can determine how those children behave as adults. (See the mobile apps that make adultery easier.)
Girls are affected by nannies too. Not having her mother around
creates in the infant female a "vacuum of need," says Friedman, which
she might try to fill in later life with substance abuse or promiscuity
— presumably with those married men in her social circle who were also
raised by nannies.
But it is the thesis concerning boys that has been more
controversial. Having two maternal objects, says Friedman, "creates a
division in [the boy's] mind between the woman he knows to be his
natural mother and the woman with whom he has a real hands-on
relationship: the woman who bathes him and takes him to the park, and
with whom he feels completely at one." This dual-woman life, one for
family and one for catering to his every need, might become a set
pattern in his mind, so that when he grows up and feels like his needs
are not being met, he strays beyond the home. (See the top 10 mistresses.)
Friedman suggests mothers should not work, or if they must, should
not return to work until their children are at least 1 year old.
Critics, and many, many working mothers, quickly pointed out that he
offers no statistics for his theory (as in, exactly how many nannies
Tiger Woods must have had), nor does his proposal seem particularly
practical, since many women have little choice but either to return to
work after having children or to not feed said children. Additionally,
it rankled many women that Friedman lays the blame for men's fidelity
issues on females. If it's not the inattentive wife who drives a man
into another woman's arms — it's his inattentive mother.
It also doesn't make developmental sense, says Dr. Jean Mercer,
professor emerita of Psychology at Richard Stockton College in New
Jersey, who specializes in infant development. "Babies don't form
attachments solely to their mothers — they become attached also to
fathers, grandparents, nannies, child-care providers, older brothers
and sisters, or anyone else who interacts with them socially and
frequently participates in care routines like feeding and bathing."
These relationships are healthy and part of normal development. And
becoming attached to a nanny doesn't equal becoming detached from a
mother, or that the two are interchangeable. "A nanny or other person
is added to the existing relationships most babies have."
It's unclear how wide a cross section of society Friedman used to
draw his conclusions, but it's possible they may have been a bit
skewed. His previous three books were explorations of the psychology of
a small but prominent group of people with powerful matriarchs and lots
and lots of nannies: the British royal family.
Segiempat or rather Foursquare
What is foursquare?
In a nutshell, it's a location service-based social
network-come-game. What it does in effect is to tell you where your
friends are and add a little fun to going out in the evening. It's like
Google Lattitude meets a little bit of Facebook, a touch of Twitter, a dash of Qype and even a twist of World of Warcraft. And if that's not a cocktail for hopeless addiction, then we're not sure what is.
How does it work?
The whole system is based around what is known as "checking-in". You
check-in from bars and restaurants and any kind of nightspot or
watering hole, perhaps with a little message
about where you are and what you're doing – all very brief – and the
system will then register what you're up to. People who you're friends
with will then get pinged a message to let them know your whereabouts
and activities, and the idea is that they can then join you if they
fancy or just be pleased that you're out
having a good time. From the other side of things, if you're out on
your own somewhere, suddenly mateless in town or stuck at home and bored, you can see where everyone's
at and get yourself down to the party. All pretty simple. The other two
things you can do are create a to-do-list of places you've always
wanted to go and add to a Top 12 list of your recommendations for other
And what about the game?
The clever, or clever-er, part is that you get points for
checking-in. The idea is that it encourages you to do so, which then
gets the system running and propagates the idea and the fun even
further. It's all rather new, even for the developers, and much of the
system is still evolving but, at the moment, you get a point for
checking in, you get five points if it happens to be from a place
you've never checked-in from before; a further point if it's the
second, third, fourth etc place of the evening; and another still for
checking-in multiple nights in a row, you old booze hound, you. You can
only get points for checking-in outside of work hours – presumably to
prevent potential mass job loss and alcoholism – but you're always
eligible for the five discovery points no matter what time of day it is.
the points aren't good for anything other than bragging rights but
that's currency a-plenty with a leader board on the site with the top
users. Also, if you check-in from the same place more times and more
regularly than anyone else, then you might find yourself crowned Mayor
of that gaff on the site – an honour that many may try to wrestle from
you but then, that's part of the fun. You'll probably begin as rivals
and end up the next week amassing 50 points together on some all night
You can also earn badges as you check-in which is where the parallel of World of Warcraft
and its Achievements system lies. Firstly, there are badges for the
number of times you've checked-in to new establishments from Newbie up
to Superstar, plus all sorts of random and more cryptic titles to earn.
Word has it that this is where the real addiction lies, especially with
the team working on and taking suggestions for all sorts of new badges.
The really clever part
That's basically the fun side of foursquare and what you'll
appreciate as a user, but while all this is going on, the owners of the
service are also gathering some very considerable review and guide data
for all the best spots in a whole bunch of major cities all over the
world. It's the kind of user-generated content that Qype
specialises in but in a much less in-depth way. What foursquare then
decides to do with that is up to the business but there's certainly
plenty of commercial scope, if only for the desire of new bars and
restaurants to get themselves listed or even to have a badge made just
for them.
How do I start?
Like all social networks, just head to the foursquare site and sign up with a free and very brief profile which will ask you for your mobile phone number so it can ping you. Then add a photo and find your friends.
Can anyone use it?
Well, yes and no. Firstly, the system has to be city specific, so
there are different networks for a number of different locations. If
there doesn't happen to be one in your location then, it's not going to
work for you. So far you can play in: Amsterdam, Atlanta, Austin,
Boston, Chicago, Dallas / Fort Worth, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Las
Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis / St. Paul, New York City,
Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle,
Washington, DC and now London as well. You'll need a mobile phone to
check-in from and a decent SMS package on your price plan or, better still, there's an app for Android, iPhone and soon ones for BlackBerry and the Palm Pre too.
Common Heart Rate Monitor Mistakes
Common Heart Rate Monitor and Training
We have all heard the saying, "we all make mistakes sometimes!" and
in some cases it is usually brushed off. However, a mistake in training
and also how you use your heart rate monitor could mean the difference
between reaching your fitness or weight loss goals or not. I have
compiled a list of common mistakes that we usually do during training,
especially when using a heart rate monitor. Do note that this list is
not "all" the mistakes that is made. There are so many more and these
will be added in time.
Training Mistake #1: Not Setting Out a Clear Goal
When you decide to start training, an important factor for your
workouts is the goals that you will set for yourself. Many people do up a
training program without first understanding what they want from it.
For instance, I wouldn't walk into the gym today and start on every
weight training machine in there if I wanted to run a marathon. I
wouldn't be bulking up on my upper body for that! You got to sit down
and decide what you want to achieve. If it's to be a body builder than
fine, you will touch all the weight machines. But, if it is to run a
marathon than I think that you will have a different program.
Training Mistake #2: Not Knowing Factors the Affect Heart
There are many factors that affect heart rate. Though you may be
doing the same exercise routines everyday, you may sometimes notice that
your working heart rate may be different. There are several factors for
this ranging from temperature and water balance to caffeine intake and
even stress. This stress can either be psychological or physical. It is
important that you be aware of these factors that affect your heart
Training Mistake #3: Not Analyzing your Heart Rate and
Training Data
One of the advantages of using a heart rate monitor is to analyze the
data after a workout. It is one of those training tools that allow for
this to happen. Advanced heart monitor watches from manufacturers such
as Garmin and Polar allow for users to acquire so much data. For
instance, they would not only collect heart rate data but also calories
burnt, speed, distance and pace data along with a host of other
important training information. With all the data you receive, you get a
better understanding of your body and can see where changes and
improvements can be made.

Whats your passion?
So what happened to this wonderful bike of mine? I had to sell it off due to some money constraint, It was a hard time for me to let go, but life is not that perfect and we are not born with a silver-spoon in our mouth, I feel sad typing this out as I reminisce the time I had with that bike, the climb up Genting Sempah, the races, the places I traveled with it. What a wonderful experience I tell you. I am not a bike whore, where some people just go from bike to bikes and keep changeing their bikes. I am very loyal and I stay to one and only one. so far I still can't find a perfect bike. well I could if I had like $30 large as there is already one by the name of "ISAAC JOULE AEROTIC" that bike I can tell u is a work of art, there are talks in the forum where people says, People buy that frame of the bike just to hang on the wall, What craziness is that. well if it floats their boat, Well .. I am back to hunting bikes again. Hope I can find one soon. Peace out and in the mean while.. enjoy your cycling
Still looking…
Trust me, I am still looking for a bike which suits me, In this 2010 I have missed the OSIM and Aviva 70.3 again, I think this two event is really going elusive. I can't seem to get a bike that suits me. I went to FELT, GIANT, SPECIALIZED ..etc..etc.. its either the color or the setting but the main problem is the BUDGET, why do a decent TRIbike cost $4000 and above. I was awaiting for a Kouta Kueen K pricing but it never came, so hence I forgotten about it totally. Now I am starting on my journey to rebuild myself again. I have to start doing my 3 discipline again instead of only one, but since I am only doing one, this are the highlights for this year,
1. NorthEast Run 10mile:16km (missed)
2. 2Xu Run 12km (Apr)
2.2 Adidas Sundown 42km (May) <— why 2.2 is because I am replacing someone *Might go might not*
3. Passion: 25km (June)
3.5 Legs & Paddles 5k kayak+7k run(June)
4. Newton 30km (Oct)
5. Trailblazer: 12km (Nov)
6. Standard Chartered: 42km (Dec)
Looks like this few events will have to do at the moment, IF I had my bike, I would have slotted Aviva and Osim in between and those duathlon and Triathlon events. guess I am still in search for my holy grail, Dont have to be a powerhouse like BMC or Cervelo but it would sure be nice thought. I prefer something that will just suits me.
waiting is such a hard thing
How to bewary of Loans
its about Loans, I am sure once in a while people will have to take loan in their life, unless you were born sitting on a gold mine or oil field, but even so with only oil you can't produce money until someone comes with machinery to mine it, so you still need a loan to buy your machinery yada yada yada. Let me post it here so we can learn from this loan segment of Business in Asiaone.

It must be tempting to splash out a bit now that the worst of the

Using cash is one thing, but excessive borrowing can lead to financial trouble.

'Consumers need to ensure that loans taken are well within their means,' said Mr Gupta.
Here are eight things to consider when taking out a loan:
Number 1: A need or a want?
Before taking a loan, ask yourself if the item or service is meant to satisfy a need or a want.
Ms Tan Huey Min, assistant director at Credit Counselling Singapore,
Take time to consider if there is an alternative to borrowing now or
However, if the purchase is for investment purposes, then perhaps it
Number 2: Interest cost of borrowing
Consumers should be aware of the type of interest rate that is stated in the loan agreement or marketing material.
And when considering loan options, compare like with like, said Mr Gupta.
Some loans use the annual percentage rate (APR), which reflects the
The simple interest rate is calculated by applying a flat rate on the original principal amount for the entire loan tenure.
The APR is interest calculated based on the declining principal balance over the tenure of the loan.
As the borrower makes monthly repayments, the principal is reduced

Ms Tan cautions that if the consumer already has a high amount of

Number 4: Loan tenure
It is worth considering the optimal loan tenure as it affects monthly repayments and interest paid.
Generally a longer loan tenure means smaller monthly repayments but
For example, Mr Mark Tan takes a $10,000 loan for a period of five years at an APR of 18per cent per annum (pa).
His monthly repayment is $254 so the total interest he will pay over

Number 5: Early payment options
Not all loans allow customers to settle early, so read and understand the terms and conditions of the loan before signing up.
An early settlement fee is usually imposed if a loan is paid off early.
For example, if you redeem your GE Money personal loan before the

How Is MS Diagnosed?
How Is MS Diagnosed?
The diagnosis of MS is often difficult because many of its symptoms are similar to (or mimic) the symptoms of other illnesses. Therefore, no single test is 100% conclusive. Several tests and procedures are needed for a complete diagnosis. They include:
MEDICAL HISTORY: The physician will require the patient's general medical history, including a description of any suspected signs or symptoms of MS and when they occurred.
NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION: A neurologist will examine an individual for specific abnormalities in the nerve pathways. During the examination, the doctor will look for abnormal changes in eye movement, limb co-ordination, strength, balance, sensation, speech and reflexes. When MS is suspected, further tests will be scheduled to eliminate other possibilities.
EVOKED POTENTIAL TESTS: These tests measure the time it takes for the brain to receive and interpret messages (Nerve Conduction Velocity). In short, it shows how quickly a person's nervous system responds to certain stimulation. There are separate tests for sight, hearing and motor function. In order, they are:
VER – Visual-evoked response
BAER – Brainstem auditory-evoked response
SER – Somatosensory-evoked response
These tests measure the speed of nerve conduction and can detect lesions not always shown on an MRI. They are not invasive or painful.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI): This scan, using a magnetic field, produces very detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord. It shows any existing areas of sclerosis (lesions or plaques). This is the only test where the lesions can be seen, but it cannot be regarded as conclusive. MRI, along with evidence from medical history, neurological examination and other tests, are considered significant in confirming the diagnosis of MS.
Note: MRI is a very important tool used in clinical trials to assess the value of new therapies. This is due to its ability to measure changes in disease activity in the brain and spinal cord.
LUMBAR PUNCTURE: A small amount of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid which flows around the brain and spinal cord) is withdrawn and tested. In people with MS, patterns formed by proteins in the fluid are examined. These patterns can show changes that match up with the presence of inflammation. The proteins in people with established MS (about 90%) form a particular pattern when an electrical current is passed through them. Consequently, this test is often ordered when MRI results are inconclusive.
Two basic criteria are required to confirm MS:
1. Tests show at least two areas of the nervous system are affected.
2. At least two separate relapses (exacerbations) have occurred a month or more apart.
Obviously, making a definitive MS diagnosis can be very difficult. Some people may be diagnosed with "possible MS" or "probable MS" until a definite diagnosis can be reached. Although a diagnosis of MS can be shocking, most patients continue to lead productive and relatively normal lives.

Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang likes explosions; he likes to see how traditional mediums transform spontaneously before the spectator's careful gaze. In "Saraab," the artist's exhibition to be held at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha next month, Cai explores his personal connection to the Gulf through installation works and a series of gunpowder drawings in which he incorporates elements from Islamic miniature paintings, decorative art, and textiles, as well as ancient maritime routes between the Arab world and his hometown of Quanzhou, China. Mathaf's first single-artist exhibition since its opening in December 2010, "Saraab" features more than 50 works, including newly commissioned pieces and documentary material to highlight the artist's creative process. Cai's works are riveting in scale and execution. Their power lies with their ability to re-expose a seemingly forgotten past: the relationship between China and Arabia that dates back to the Silk Road.
"The Middle East is very mysterious for me," says the artist, who took part in the Talking Arts Program created by the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi in conjunction with the Emirati Expressions exhibition organized by TDIC in 2009. "Geographically speaking, the Gulf and the Middle East have always been part of Asia. I want to retrace these histories and show the rich and long cultural exchange between these two civilizations." Cai Guo-Qiang also hopes to probe the contemporary society of the region and discover what is real and what is illusionary. "Saraab" (Arabic for mirage) was chosen by Cai because parts of Doha have a mirage-like quality for him.
"There are still 60,000 Muslims living in Quanzhou," he explains. "Over the past few centuries they have left cemeteries with ancient Arabic inscriptions on the tombstones. As a child, I would pass by the cemeteries and wonder about what was written on them." For the exhibition, Cai has researched the tombstones's inscriptions and found that they recite three recurring verses from the Qur'an: 'Everyone will have a taste of death; 'All enjoyments in this life are illusionary' and 'To die in a foreign land is to die a martyr.' He has inscribed these verses in a symbolic act on rocks he brought from Quanzhou for his work "Homecoming;" the stones serve as a visual act of closure for the deceased Arabs of his hometown.
Cai's works also engage the local populace of Doha. Hundreds of volunteers from the city were selected by Mathaf to assist the artist in the production of 10 large drawings and a porcelain mural made out of more than 480 panels. The volunteers came from a variety of age groups and professions; didn't have any art experience. What they shared was a desire to learn about Cai's artistic process.
"Saraab" presents a few firsts for Cai as well as for Doha. The exhibition is part of a series of cultural initiatives organized by the Qatar Museums Authority (QMA) to promote local and international art. QMA will also present "Louise Bourgeois: Conscious and Unconscious," the late French-American artist's first solo exhibition in the region from January 20 to June 1, as well as "Murakami – Ego," an exhibition by renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami from February 9 to June 24. For Cai, "Saraab" marks the first time he installs a museum exhibition for 50 days straight. But what the artist desires to achieve goes beyond artistic form. "I am very impressed and moved by the Middle East. I don't want to merely show my past works from China, Japan, or the U.S. in Doha; I want my art to take root here and create a dialogue across culture."
"Saraab" is on view at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art from December 5 to May 26, 2012.

that's right I forgot, you have to listen to their entire discography multiple times to form an opinion on this album.
Eh, all of the songs sound samey. They all have this forcuplifting tone. It sounds silly after awhile too.
Is this actually that good? I love Hammock but I've never found them to be 4.5 material.

Meh, the rest of their discog is a lot more exciting and dynamic
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
Yeah, this isn't their best release, but it's still awesome in my opinion. Length and slight redundancy are the only issues I find myself experiencing while listening to this. Even so, the redundancy (mostly only present on the first disk) seems to die down after two more listens. But that brings back the issue of length... I don't really feel like listening to it two more times directly afterward, the thing is nearly two hours long!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Italo Zucchelli, the creative director of Calvin Klein Collection's menswear, was unexpectedly enthusiastic about a subject in fashion—at least in men's fashion—that most prefer to ignore: pre-collections. "It's kind of new for men," Zucchelli said. Not long ago, the situation was much the same for womenswear: Pre-collections were commercial lines, meant to bolster store buys (in practice, they often make up to 70 percent, or more, of many retailers' annual purchases) and distill the themes of the mainline "editorial" collections presented on the runway into more wearable, salable form. But anyone reading Style.com over the past few years has seen pre-collections boom, often into runway shows of their own. (See our complete coverage if you disbelieve.)
ould the same happen for menswear? Zucchelli, for one, makes such a thing seem possible. (His sales, he reports, are split fifty-fifty between pre-collections and Spring and Fall collections.) "The pre-collections became bigger and bigger," he said. "Now I'm injecting fashion." The Pre-Fall 2014 collection, debuting here, makes the point. The airy palette of the Spring '14 collection, inspired in part by the work of James Turrell, turned darker, but blue remained dominant. Makes sense: Navy is a color no man is afraid to buy. But Zucchelli made good on his promise of more fashion in this traditionally sales-friendly offering. A bonded flannel car coat, easy and approachable, was spliced together with a panel of contrast fabric. "Techy" was Zucchelli's word for it. That future-leaning, technological bent, which has characterized many of his collections for the label, was evident throughout: In the moire jacquard motif on suits and jackets, the slash details worked into the seams of tailored garments, and, most of all, the printed graphic sweatshirts and tees that the designer said were already attracting significant sales attention. They featured blue-tinted aerial illustrations of one of the world's techiest cities: Tokyo.
Here, the exclusive debut of Calvin Klein Collection's Pre-Fall 2014 menswear.

Bracketology puts NU in as 11 seed

Here at style-is.co.uk, we love individual style, not just because it is a fantastic way to express yourself and a great outlet for personal creativity but also because also because it makes the world so much more of an interesting place and we believe is the only way forward for sustainable fashion.
I am addicted to checking out fashion blogs, street style blogs and just people watching in general to see the amazing outfits that they have created. This seems to be a growing trend and street style is becoming hugely influential. Many people now turn to blogs for inspiration instead of fashion magazines which tend to tell us more about the 'must have' pieces and how to wear the latest 'trends' for the season. Fashion blogs show us how we can make a look work for us, how we can add our own take on a style and how we can create outfits using a mixture of clothes that we already have in our wardrobes, charity shop finds and completely unique upcycled pieces.
Trends have never really worked with the concept of 'sustainable fashion'. A trend by its very nature changes frequently and encourages people to keep buying new clothes in order to keep up and fit in with what the main stream of people are wearing. Whilst we are being dictated to each season on what are the latest 'must haves', it is virtually impossible to consume responsibly.
Developing your own individual style on the other hand is a great way to be sustainable. Finding the clothes that really work for you regardless of what the latest trends are is a good way to ensure that your wardrobe will stand the test of time. How many times have you bought into the latest trend only to realise that it doesn't really suit you or just isn't you? I think we have all been there! Fast fashion doesn't last because we become fed up with it quickly and just want to move onto the latest look. By developing your own individual style, you can find a look that really works for you, makes you look and feel better and is timeless.
Your style is almost like an extension of your personality. It is the first thing that people will notice about you and we all know that first impressions count. What do you want your style to say about you? This infographic by Ecouterre says it all
Over the coming months at style-is.co.uk are going to working on a creative project called 'The Style Statement'. We hope you will share and tell us about your own unique and individual style and help us to create an inspiration gallery of individual style and sustainable fashion. If you would like to get involved please email email@example.com.
Have a lovely bank holiday weekend!

The consequences of substance abuse are back in the spotlight.
Over the weekend, actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his New York apartment from an apparent heroin overdose, but its not just Hollywood that has a heroin problem.
Nearly twice the amount of people in the US are addicted to heroin now than in 2002.
KSFY News spoke with two recovering addicts who both say it took over their lives because it was all they could think about and getting clean was one of the hardest things they've done.
"I got addicted when I was about 19. It started, obviously, with pain pills, Vicodin, things like that, then it just progressed. Because they weren't doing it for me. So I got heroin. It's cheaper, it's stronger," said Andre.
He has been struggling with addiction for about five years.
He said nothing else matters when you are addicted, "Your friends, your family your job, nothing like that. It's just debilitating. Once your hooked it has you.
It is not just the high that keeps people hooked.
"The withdrawal off heroin too. It's horrific, it's terrible. That leads people to keep using too because they don't want to face that."
Heroin does not discriminate. It can get a hold of anyone at any time.
"I was addicted to heroin when I was in my 30's and I'm close to 60 now." Said Julia.
It took her 12 years to get clean.
She said she was addicted after the first time she shot up, "You always want that first feeling that you got because it's like your first love. And so that's what your chasing."
After years of addiction, Julia and Andre are now clean.
They go to Sioux Falls Treatment Center for meetings and Methadone doses, which blocks the opiate receptors in their brain from craving heroin.
"That was important to me because people didn't really care if I lived or died. Then for me to go to the clinic everyday and for them to see me, because then I knew that I made it one day, which was important to me."
Andre says the best thing you can do if you know someone is having problems is to call a treatment center.
He says just being there for the person can help them.
Having a support system is what kept him going.

SM: I welcome those kind of debates because we were very careful, of course. We had an advisor, an historian. All of them vouched for the facts that these events actually occurred, with documents to back it up. So of course I welcome that kind of attention because I want to be right as well. Every picture that's "based on a true story" will have that kind of scrutiny, so I welcome this.
What is your sense of how accurate you were?
SM: Quite. Of course you would get something wrong. There's no two ways about it. We were very meticulous. Our fantastic production designer Adam Stockhausen and an amazing costume designer Patricia Norris who researched the look and the authenticity of what was happening. A lot of the costumes were actually slave clothes worn by slaves. You do your best. We hope we're good at it.
One thing I believe you added was the scene with Patsy (Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o) and wealthy neighbor Mistress Shaw (Alfre Woodard).
SM: She had one line in the book, a description of her. I spoke to John and said this character needs a voice in this film because it's such an extraordinary character, and one I've never seen on film before. For me, that scene was John's best work.
Michael Fassbender doesn't want to participate in campaigning the movie for the Oscars. How do you feel about that?
SM: I understand. It can be a bit much. [On "Shame"] it was very tiring, and it was unhealthy. You get exhausted and try to do your best at every moment. Forgive me for saying this, I felt like a prostitute, every 15 minutes another john would come through the room and it'd be taking, taking, taking. It was a bit much. This time, it's much more enjoyable. I don't know why. I think that it's worth it. I'm not saying that "Shame" wasn't.
The conversation has shifted to a cultural conversation that could have an enormous impact on the world.
SM: Yes, I think that's it. I do think it's worth it because the conversation has been on such a high level and it's fascinating. Someone asked me the other day, "When was the first time you were conscious of slavery?" It was just amazing. Or, "what was the first time you understood your name?" I was thinking, "my goodness, the only thing I can remember is that I grew up with such a feeling of shame and embarrassment." To start life like that as a young person, it's either a huge disadvantage or it's a situation where you become much more aware of your surroundings in society.
The assumption made by many people in America is that folks from Africa who grew up in Britain are not the products of slavery; they came from Africa without having been part of the American horror, without that sense of shame. It's inaccurate?
SM: My family came from the West Indies...It's debatable. What is correct is that we all come from this diaspora. We're all from a situation where we were displaced or dispersed, or parts of your family are missing. If you're from Africa, where some of your relatives would have been taken.
So talking about these issues is satisfying for you.
SM: For me, the movie stands up by itself because the story is so extraordinary. I'm happy we're having a debate about slavery but at the same time, for me, I'm excited about the picture because the picture is the picture.
When you were editing, were you challenged or did it fall into place in an organic way?
SM: It was very organic. With reshoots, different ways of looking at time, it was exciting. Also because of the set, because of the crew, the makeup, the wardrobe, the electricians, the camera and sound departments, we were all a team. When you have that sort of safety net, that friendship, that camaraderie, any and everything was possible. I knew from the first few days we might have something.

I watched McQueen's DGA Q&A with Kathryn Bigelow. He's either getting better at the promotional game or just trying much harder. He was quite funny and not as abrasive/combative as he has been in the past. He might not be the liability that some pundits have supposed.
On the other hand, I read the whole GQ article from which that Fassbender "won't campaign" quote was taken & I have to think that Searchlight might be relieved not to have such a wild card running around loose and bored in LA for three months. He's absolutely bonkers reckless.

"One often wonders what he or she would do if thrown back in time and was forced to be a slave. Now we have a chance to sit and watch someone who actually had to do it in real time. How would I respond in his given situation. I know it will be heart wrenching, but can't wait to see it!!"

It's especially fitting that we're spending this week out and about in Louisiana, home to the biggest Mardi Gras celebration in the country! North wasn't lucky enough to make up some craw
fishdog gumbo, but I'd still love to deck him out for Fat Tuesday.
My fave dog-friendly part of this holiday is the parade by the Krewe of Barkus — the theme of the sixteenth annual event was "Indiana Bones and the Raiders of the Lost Bark," and took place last weekend in New Orleans. The krewe member pooches are accompanied by a human escort around the French Quarter and to a follow-up "pawty" in Armstrong Park — it looked like so much fun, I couldn't resist sharing pictures of the festive pups when you read more.

That's what Easter is to me.
I'm not really into bunnies and pastels and jelly beans (although I do love me some Hershey's chocolate eggs)….
It's KNOWING what today means. That's what I'm into.
I didn't post about Good Friday, but Lindsay's post pretty much nails it on the head. She has a tendency of eloquently saying what is all jumbled up in my head and can't figure out how to make its way out. Hanging out at her blog is one of my favorite pastimes.
Back to today.
He died. He ROSE. He grabbed my heart and won't let go. Because of that, I get to live. No way do I deserve it. In any way shape or form. But He loves me. And for that I am eternally grateful and humbled. Thank you Jesus for what you did.

Updated Apr 18, 2014 - 11:38 pm
UFC on FOX 11: Fabricio Werdum vs. Travis Browne Head-to-Toe Breakdown
Since making his return to the octagon back in 2011, Werdum (17-5-1) has put together a three fight-wining streak with wins over Roy Nelson, Mike Russow and the Antonio Nogueira. Prior to this impressive win streak, �Vai Cavalo' made waves under the Strikeforce banner when turned the mixed martial arts community on its head after he snapped Fedor Emelianenko's decade-long 28 fight unbeaten with a first round submission victory. This victory not only thrust Werdum into the pubic eye but also propelled him up the heavyweight ranking.
But Browne (16-1-1), whose only career loss came after tearing his hamstring against Bigfoot UFC on FX 5 in 2012, has racked up three straight first round knockout victories over former title contenders Gabriel Gonzaga, Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett.
As Browne puts it, "You've seen a boy grow into a man inside the cage."
It's a classic submission vs. striking matchup and with the winner being granted a shot at Cain Velasquez's UFC heavyweight championship in an upcoming pay-per-view in Mexico later this year, expect both men to leave it all on the line as they look to take the next step to achieving their goal of becoming the "baddest man on the face of the earth."
Browne has needed just 6:19 total cage time to finish off his last three opponents. Combine this with an average fight time of 5:40, the shortest among active heavyweights and fourth-shortest in modern heavyweight history, and chances are if Browne's has his hand raised at the end of this bout it will most likely come within the opening frame. In fact with 10 of his 12 career knockouts coming within the first round, Browne's explosive power has emerged as one of the most dangerous weapons in the entire organization.
But in his matchup against Overeem, a former K-1 kickboxing champion, Browne proved he was capable of withstanding a tremendous amount of damage. After being dropped by a barrage of vicious knees against the cage, Browne withstood hurricane Overeem, managed to make his way back to his feet and plant a perfectly timed front kick to the chin of the former Strikeforce heavyweight champion, which gave him yet another first-round knockout.
Werdum's striking game has grown leaps and bounds since he's made the transition to Kings MMA and more importantly began training with world-renowned striking coach Rafael Cordeiro. Landing an incredible 4.38 significant strikes per minute, the fourth highest rate among active UFC heavyweights and seventh highest in divisional history, Werdum's newfound aggression has paid off as he often catches his opponents off guard with powerful leg kicks and knees from the clinch. But this over aggressive attack has caught Werdum in some precarious positions. Werdum has often left his unprotected with his hands sitting near his waste, giving his opponents a wide-open window to strike. If Werdum takes the approach against on Saturday, his night won't last long as Browne's combination of speed and power will easily overpower his him.
Edge: Browne
Browne is not known for his ability to take the fight to the canvas, instead the Hawaiian uses his wrestling skills to keep the fight standing. In fact he has successfully defended all eight takedown attempts thrown his way inside a UFC octagon. Both Gonzaga and Barnett were attempting double leg takedowns against the cage until those vicious elbows from Browne knocked them unconscious.
Since 2003, Werdum has landed 26. But since returning to the UFC a takedown down from him has become a rare sight, as he has only been successful 27 percent of the time he attempts one. In his matchup against Nogueira, Werdum was successful in securing a single leg and relentlessly worked to bring the fight to the canvas. So if he does decide to attempt a takedown he will have to stay active or else he leaves himself open for another attack from Browne. Werdum is 11-3 in fights in which he lands at least one takedown, so if he can survive the early onslaught from Browne and throw in a takedown or two he should have no problem securing a win. But If Werdum is sloppy with his wrestling this will not end well for him as Browne is a master of taking advantage of his opponent's mistakes.
Edge: Push
There are very few fighters in MMA who can compete with Fabricio Werdum if the fight ends up on the canvas. As a multiple time gold medalist in the Pan American Jiu-Jitsu championship, The World Jiu-Jitsu Championship and the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships, Werdum has already established himself as one of the greatest submission artists in all of MMA. In his last fights, the Brazilian has attempted 22 serious submission attempts so it's a safe bet he will throw in an armbar or a triangle from the bottom. If he can get a hold of one of Browne's limbs, Werdum should have no problem adding to nine career submission victories.
Brown has stressed that he is more than just a strike but with his last few fights lasting less than one round, fans just haven't seen much of his groundwork. He does have two career submission victories, including one over Chad Griggs at UFC 145 and has shown tremendous scrambling ability as he has been controlled on the ground for just 45 total seconds during his UFC career, the third shortest amount of time in UFC heavyweight history.
However, he just simply cannot hold a candle to Werdum in the jiu-jitsu department, as Werdum will run circles around him if this fight ends up on canvas.
Edge: Werdum
Browne finds himself the underdog yet again, a role he gladly embraces. If he can keep this fight and use his towering 6-foot-7 frame to pick apart opponent with his unorthodox striking game, this fight should not make it out of the second round. Werdum on the other hand should look to take this fight to the ground as soon as possible in order to use his jiu-jitsu to secure yet another submission victory.
So the key to this matchup will undoubtedly be Werdum outwrestle his opponent. All it takes is one mistake and he will end up in dangerous waters with Werdum on top of him. Browne has been perfect with his takedown defense and he has performed well against better wrestlers than Werdum. So in the end expect Browne to keep this fight standing en route to earning his fourth straight first round knockout and his shot at the UFC heavyweight championship.
Browne via Round 1 K.O.

Germ 101-102
He is by fair the worst prof at Hope college. I lost all of my love for German because of him. He is seriously the worst. If you are sick he will still count your homework late,even if you have a doctors' note
Was far too demanding for a beginners german class. He taught strictly from the text book and hardly incorporated group discussions in class. Without speaking the language in a conversational setting, it is almost impossible to actually learn.
For a starters German class he expects a lot from you and good luck if you fall behind. He is extremely hepfull and understands if something is late if your busy or have problems with your computer. He tends to not call on you in class if he knows you are extremely tired and can not focus.
He taught his FYS like it was the most important class in the world. Reading the New Yorker is not that important and should have been fun and interesting... Guess not?
completely agree. i thought i was doing well in his class and then the last week he was like no. not good enough-and i got a b in freaking fys!
For an FYS teacher his expectations were way too big....
More German professors at Hope College
It looks like this department doesn't have any other professors on RateMyProfessors.com. Add a new professor to this school!

City Councilman Todd Klein says he wants to propose some reforms at Lubbock City Hall.
First, he wants to move about half a dozen employees out of the City Manager's office and put them under the direction of the City Secretary. Klein says this will make it easier for those staffers to help the city council reach out to voters and taxpayers.
Klein also says he wants to go from having six council members to eight. He thinks it will help provide better representation for Lubbock's minority populations. Klein specifically mentions Lubbock's African American community, which he says has gone down from 12% to 8% of the city's population.
"There's no down side. It's very manageable. And, for the reasons I've given, it has a very good shot of improving the process," Klein said.
"It also forces much more discussion," Klein says.
He makes reference to the fact that it takes four votes to reach a majority during a City Council session.
"Getting to five verses four take much more effort," Klein says. "That means more collaboration. That means more input from the public."
Klein says he needs public support to go forward with more city council districts. He says the idea will require a public election to change the city charter.

PITTSFIELD, M.A. - After a vote passed Tuesday with support of 63 percent of voters in Massachusetts, medical marijuana will be allowed beginning on January 1st, 2013.
Massachusetts largest physician group, the Massachusetts Medical Society is against the law. The society has more than 400 members in Berkshire County alone, and thousands statewide.
Although the allowed 35 medical marijuana distribution centers may be in place by next year as expected, the question remains, will there be enough doctors willing to give certificates to patients for it?
Dr. Basil Michaels is President Elect for the Berkshire County Chapter of the Massachusetts Medical Society. He says he like his fellow members is against the use of medical marijuana.
"If they need to seek out the medical marijuana they're going to have to go to a different provider because I'm not going to prescribe that," said Michaels.
Michaels says those doctors for it are a small minority in the state.
"It puts doctors in a very bad position. I think that it makes us into drug dealers effectively," Michaels said.
Although there have been studies reporting the benefits of medical marijuana for cancer patients and glaucoma and other illnesses Michaels says it needs to be studied further.
"It's not controlled. It's not manufactured. It's not purified and we don't know what the dosage is going to be with any particular marijuana cigarette or bowl that you would smoke," said Michaels.
The Massachusetts medical society has also expressed concern of how the state will regulate the distribution.
"Percocet, Vicodin, these are controlled substances that are prescribed. Yes they go from Grandma's medicine cabinet to the grandchild's school. That happens already and so we're going to see that with medical marijuana also," said Michaels.
Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Attorney Mike Cutler says he already has clients ready to apply to open dispensaries, but will they have the business they're looking for?
"It's disappointing that doctors whose first interest is suppose to be their patients health seem to be more concerned about their license to practice than a patients health. The evidence of marijuana's advocacy is well established," said Cutler.
The law goes into effect on January 1st, 2013. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has around four months to decide on regulations.

Alexey Rybin is the WPT Merit Cyprus Champion
August 21, 2013 in Poker News, WPT, WPT Cyprus
Alexey Rybin is the WPT Merit Cyprus Champion after defeating Albert Daher in heads up play. Alexey who since day 1A was the chip leader, continued as the leader until the final table and he tied the achievement of Kevin Saul at the Bellagio Cup back in 2008.
Pierre Sayegh was the first to go in 6th place. He entered the pot with A-9 clubs and got called by Albert Daher with pocket 7′s. The pair of 7′s held unitl the end and Pierre stayed 6th.
Daher lost a lot of chips on the 25th level of play against Rybachenko and in the same level of play Nikonov won almost every pot he entered and build a very nice stack of chips. A bit later he got in the first place in chips after winning in a six bet pot against Nikonov and Rybachecko.
Rybachenko with pocket k's went in against A-K of Daher and when the flop came with an Ace he knew it was the end for him. The Russian finished 5th
On the 26th level of play Rubin who was short stacked for the first time won most of the chips from Tugrul with an A-K and a little later he eliminated him with a Q-J leaving him in 4th place.
Three handed play continued and the three players battled but we had no elimination on this level or the next level of play. Daher and Nikonov went side by side in chips and Rubin was behind. That was until an A-k came for Rubin who won a large pot from Daher that had A-5 and climbed up in chips again.
In level 28th Nikonov went down after calling the All in that Rubin announced. Nikonov had A-J and Rubin A-Q. Nikonov didn't improve and left in 3rd place.
Heads up play didn't last long. Rybin went all-in on a already huge pot with A-K on a A-K-J-2 board of 3 diamonds and Daher made the call but when he show the hand of Rubin he threw away his cards. He was short stacked after that and lost a bit later with a K-9 from an A-5 of Rybin. An ace on the flop was enough to give Rybin the Victory and the $258,000 first place prize
