I loved Dr. D. Shes very helpful and good with students, although she doesn't teach the labs. The lab manual for the course essentially does all the thinking for you. The lab reports seem difficult until you realize that the TAs don't actually read them-- just make sure you put in relevant error calculations and you'll receive an A very easily.
Driscoll is super NICE despite first impressions. Her tests are a simple but easy to over think. Literally find a formula and plug in numbers, do NOT over think things. Try to participate in class because she does try pretty hard to get you to like physics. She gives a lot of extra credit and do your homework/ labs (grade boosters.
Dr. Driscoll is an awesome professor! She is very clear about her expectations, approachable, and always willing to work with you if you have questions or don't understand something. Her tests can be hard, but if you actually do the homework and study, then you're fine. I was indifferent before, but Dr. Driscoll actually made me like physics!
I didn't have her for 115, but I heard she was much better for that. Quite honestly, she wasn't very good for 116. She wasn't comfortable teaching the material and it showed. The final was so difficult it was uncalled for. Don't rely on the final to boost your grade--without a ton of studying, it won't happen.
Compared to the BS that is Biol lab (easpecially 214L...) -- this class is a complete joy. For those of you that are complaing about the confusing nature of PHYS 121/122 labs REALLY should take Biol 214L -- I bet you won't be complaining NEARLY as much once you do. Anyway, just follow the lab manual,and you'll get an A (for the lab portion anyway).
Professor Driscoll is great. She doesnt teach the labs herself, but she runs the lab well and she is always available for help with lab reports. The guys that TA the labs are extremely well trained and helpful also. Dr. D is one of the best lab teachers I have had. I would recommend her.
She's so nice!
Dr. Driscoll is a fabulous physics lecturer. She's very clear and willing to answer questions. And her office hours are really great if you take advantage of them.
If you don't accept her (sometimes) condescending sense of humor, she can seem really disrespectful. Oftentimes she confused students, who would then ask questions, which would then confuse her. I guess she's nice. I think this course is the nail in the coffin for my career in medicine, which is interesting because it's not even that hard.
Professor is extremely helpful; may seem unapproachable to begin with but ask for help and she is very willing to work with your schedule. Is strict on plagiarism but that should be expected in college...
She's a physics professor; she wants you to learn physics. You learn by doing work, not memorizing the answers she writes on the board. If you go in with the mindset that you get as much out of the class as you're willing to put in, then you will definitely find the class very interesting and compelling.
She is the most disrespectful professor in this entire school. she has very bad attitude and she really condescending. for someone that does absolutely nothing, she has no right to be as mean and rude and pompous as she is. I hope Case takes notice of her and takes some action.
Driscoll is a very nice professor, and is also one who has clear and reasonable policies. She seem strict on checking for plagiarism in lab reports, but it's actually pretty reasonable. Never had a problem with a TA. If you attend class and actually *do* the homework and practice exams, you'll do well.
She lets the TA's do all the work, and scoffs at the idea of helping. Also, the TA's for the lab mumble so it is very hard to understand them
What can I say? The lecturing was useless and the exams were impossible. The labs featured poorly written, unclear instructions and emphasized pedantic nonsense (i.e., error analysis) over actually understanding the physics at hand. The TAs were rude and condescending and Driscoll was neurotically obsessed with catching "plagiarism". It was awful.
Driscoll was very nice, helpful and a good professor. Expectations are set out clearly. Lab is very organized, however, the TA's can be questionable.
She is a very clear lecturer and the tests aren't too hard. Physics is not a fun subject, but she does the best she can to make it interesting.
phys 115
Great Physics professor
Not cool. Lab TA's can be unhelpful and unappriciative as well as very unclear. She is okay, but not understanding at all when it comes to writing lab reports. MyDropBox.com is a joke and needs to be updated.

Internal carotid stenosis is an important cause of stroke. The internal carotid arteries are two of the most important blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. There are two internal carotid arteries, one on each side of the neck. Stenosis, or narrowing of these arteries develops when people with high cholesterol have a concurrent condition known as atherosclerosis. In this disease fats are deposited along the walls of blood vessels leading to a progressive narrowing of the area through which blood flows.
Other abnormalities that can cause decreased blood flow through the internal carotid arteries include a thrombus (blood clot), carotid dissection, arteritis, and fibromuscular displasia.
Physicians take internal carotid stenosis very seriously, especially when people with this condition develop symptoms such as ministrokes. The guidelines for carotid stenosis surgery as of the year 2007 indicate that only people who have experienced symptoms and who also have at least 70% narrowing of one the internal carotid arteries should be considered optimal candidates carotid stenosis surgery. This procedure can significantly reduce the risk of future stroke in these people.Like all surgeries, carotid endarterectomy poses some risks, depending on the general health of the patient. Learn more about this surgery, its risks and its alternatives, in this short article about carotid stenosis surgery.

Amir at funeral of M6 crash victims (From The Bolton News)
Amir at funeral of M6 crash victims
8:51am Monday 31st December 2012 in News
n Amir Khan was among thousands of mourners at the funeral of two young brothers who died in a Christmas Day crash on the M6.
Adnan Habib, aged 10, and Arsalaan, aged four, were killed when the car they were in crashed close to junction 15, near Stoke-on-Trent, on Tuesday. The brothers died alongside their 32-year-old aunt, Bushra Tazarib.
The family were on their way to a wedding in Bolton on Christmas Day when the accident happened, and Amir, pictured, was also among the guests.
More than 2,000 people attended a funeral for the brothers at a mosque in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, yesterday.
Hundreds spilled out into the street from the packed mosque and said funeral prayers in the rain.
Amir tweeted yesterday morning: "In Wycombe for the funeral of 2 young kids + aunty who died in a car crash on way to a cousins wedding last week. Condolences to the family."
Amir has previously described how the occasion turned from joyous to despair as news of the tragic accident spread.
A private burial took place yesterday afternoon for the boys. Their aunt's body is to be transported to Pakistan.

As the losses have continued to mount, there have been any number of different reasons put forth as the root cause for the struggles. The play of everyone on the ice has been discussed and dissected every which way, yet we still see the same mistakes, and the same lack of fundamentals on display game after game.
At this point it seems fair to question whether the poor play on the ice is merely a symptom of a deeper problem. I've seen comments starting to head in that direction, suggesting that the team has tuned out Lemaire, or that a coaching change might be necessary. Personally, I think that a coaching change would be a short-term fix at best, and that what we're seeing is the culmination of a problem in the Devils' locker room that's been building for quite a while now. I think what we're looking at is a team that has lost its presence, its identity, and its will to win.
Back in 2000 when they overcame the 3-1 deficit to Philadelphia, Larry Robinson's tirade after game 4 got a lot of the credit, but would it have meant anything without guys like Ken Daneyko, Bobby Holik, Claude Lemieux, and Scott Stevens to set the tone for the players in the lockerroom and on the ice? The Devils were a team that built its identity around defense and toughness, and any one of those three guys could deliver a physical play to put the other team back on its heels. Stevens and Daneyko were there again in 2003, along with Joe Nieuwendyk after giving up the 3-1 series lead to Ottawa, and seeing the Ducks claw their way back into it every time the Devils seemed to have them against the wall in the Finals. Unfortunately for the Devils, Daneyko retired after the 2003 Finals, and Stevens only played a small portion of the following season before exiting the lineup for good.
And when Stevens and Daneyko retired, they took a significant piece of the team's identity with them. Since then, the Devils have lacked a true tone-setter both on the ice and in the room. There hasn't been anyone since Stevens who has brought that kind of presence to the team, the type of leader who could look around the room, tell the team to get on his back, and then go out and deliver a game-changing hit.
Maybe Niedermayer could have been that type of leader. Sure, he'd certainly never hit anyone like Stevens did, but he definitely had the skill to put his stamp on the game with an offensive play or a key defensive stop. Unfortunately, he only had that one partial season as the Captain and focal point, before the Devils lost in the first round of the playoffs. And things have just gotten worse since the lockout. I don't want to knock Elias and Langenbrunner as players, but as Captains, it seems like they were picked mostly because there wasn't a better option at the time.
And since the lockout, the Devils have shown the inability to rise up in the face of adversity and fight their way back into a series (see 5-game second round losses to Carolina in '06 and Ottawa in '07, and the 5-game first round loss to the Rangers in '08). They've also wilted in the face of physical play (see the way Sean Avery was allowed to run wild in that '08 series, and the way Andrew Peters has mostly failed to be an effective enforcer this season). And they've shown an inability to stay focused and a tendency to crumble when things don't go well (see the end of game 7 against the Hurricanes last year, and the innumerable times opponents have scored goals in rapid succession this year).
Who on this year's team can be the one to step up and put the team on his shoulders? Who on this team is standing up in the dressing room, telling the others "We are NOT going to lose," and then going out on the ice and getting it done? You'd think if they had that sort of leader in the room, he'd have done it by now.
What I think this team needs, more than a shutdown defenseman, more than a new coach, and more than a new goalie, is a heart transplant.

On December 14, 1996, Andrew Golota and Riddick Bowe fought in a rematch in Atlantic City that left millions of people with even more questions than after the first fight.
Bowe-Golota II was one for the ages, a brilliant performance delivered by the white fighter who caught the boxing world by storm yet again. The match was a rekindling of Rocky, because Bowe's heart equated that of Balboa's. "Big Daddy" simply refused to fall, and when he did, he refused to be counted out. Golota's onslaught was Balboa-like, although the Polish stallion let victory slip away yet again. This was probably the best performance of Golota's career; afterwards he was only as superb versus Corey Sanders and Michael Grant.
In the rematch, Golota—who was on the verge of a stunning upset in the fight of his life against Bowe five months earlier—had thrashed Riddick even more this time. The Pole landed 408 punches and threw 638, setting an HBO Compubox record. Jim Lampley said at one point during HBO's live pay-per-view telecast that Bowe was target practice for Golota. Certainly, Golota was clearly frustrated when he threw that blatant low-blow combination in the ninth round. The Pole's frustration can be compared to that of Mike Tyson's in the Holyfield rematch, when "Iron Mike" unspeakably bit off a piece of "The Real Deal's" ear while losing on all judges' scorecards.
Aside from the action though, what were the other headliners? In the first bout, it was the unforgettable 22-minute riot that denoted a clash of cultures. In the rematch though, it was both fighters' walk-in music that signified an ethnic collision. Bowe came out to the tune of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA," while Golota patriotically entered with the Polish national anthem playing. Golota's wardrobe was decorated with the national white and red colors of his country. It was Poland vs. USA.
It's worth noting that Golota's camp filed a petition following the rematch to overturn the fight's result. This came to no avail, however. Golota earned his first million-dollar paycheck for this rematch (his exact salary was $3 million), and that was the only thing he could be happy about after this bout. Also of note, in the post-fight interview, Bowe's speech was noticeably different, which later proved to be largely due to his wars with Holyfield and Golota. Riddick was never the same again—physically and mentally. Poor Bowe (seriously, it's sad watching a once star-studded fighter erode so quickly like that—his career was essentially over at age 28!).
For Golota, who many believed would become the first Polish heavyweight champion of the world, this bout was the beginning of unfavorable ring behavior. In his next fight against Lennox Lewis for the WBC title, the Pole would be kayoed in 95 seconds. Versus Michael Grant, Golota would quit in round ten after leading on all three judges' scorecards and dropping Grant twice in the first round. Then on Oct. 20, 2000, Golota would quit again, after two rounds against Tyson. Few experts consider Golota to be one of the best heavyweights of the 1990s, but it was surely the two Bowe battles—especially the rematch—which strengthens those experts' argument. The other strengtheners is the fact that Golota easily defeated Jesse Ferguson and Tim Witherspoon, and toughed out a victory versus Sanders in a bloodbath, which was one of the most bloodiest fights in boxing history (blood was dripping on spectators' rows way beyond the ring, Golota's white trunks were soaked blood-red!!). Around the time of the Bowe rematch, Golota was not only taking the U.S. by storm, but becoming very popular in his native Poland. In fact, he was reportedly even more popular than Blessed Pope John Paul II himself! However, Golota dissuaded such reports. Certainly, the boxer was most-talked-about, next to kielbasa and the Holy Pontiff. After all, he was the first serious heavyweight from Poland and so talented that his countrymen believed their native son would become a world champion.
For Bowe, this was his "last" fight. The Warsaw-born heavyweight annihilated "Big Daddy" in this bout. The former heavyweight champion received a career-ending shellacking. The American media thus never forgave Golota for giving Bowe such a brutal beating. Since Dec. 14, 1996, Bowe has officially registered three bouts. But he was completely shot and done in all of them, of course. Simply put, Riddick's last real victorious effort was in the third meeting with Holyfield. Unfortunately, Riddick is still considering continuing his boxing career.
Punchlines: It was after this sequel that sportswriter Michael Katz nicknamed Golota "The Foul Pole." Interestingly, Katz's preflight prediction was Bowe by tenth-round disqualification. The writer's dubbing of Golota became adopted by mainstream media and remains to this day. You almost cannot hear a boxing virtuoso speak about Golota without using that moniker.
All things considered, Bowe-Golota II will forever be a classic boxing match—ESPN's Classic Boxing proves this.

text: After having heard Deggial, one of the best symphonic masterpieces Christopher Johnsson and Therion have created, I bought the Secret of the Runes. It's about ancient Nordic tradition, and specifically talks about all the worlds in Nordic Mythology, such as Midgard, Asgard and Nifelheim. The mythological information one can get is tremendous, which is introduced to you through the most melodic music I've ever heard from a metal band.The album starts with Ginnungagap, the old void from which everything came out and is destined to return. The music is wonderful, creating tension and awe. Then follows Midgard, the world of man, which is a soft song, that depicts the frailty of man and this world. And then comes Asgard, the land of the gods. The importance of this world and the power of the gods is shown to the listened through a majestic series of chords and Wagnerial singing by the choir. Then comes Jotunheim, home of the ancient giants, a powerfull song, that is succeded by Schwarzalbenheim, a dark song which talks about the dwarfin and Elfin blacksmiths. Ljusalfheim comes next, talking about the Elves of the light. Then is Muspelheim, a powerful song which talks about the firegiants. After that is Nifelheim, the land of the icegiants, a melodic song with nice choir orchestration. after that comes Vanaheim, talking about Frej and Freja, the gods of magic and fertility. Helheim, the land of Hel, the godess of Death, as well as of fulfillment is next, a dark song which depicts very accurately the darkness. Last comes the Secret of the Runes, the essence of the album. It talks about the 18 runes Othat were revealed to Odin, after he sacrificed his body to himself.After the Secret of the Runes follow two cover songs, Summernight city by Abba and Crying days by the Scorpions.The album made to me a very good impression and I highly recommend it to any potential fans of Therion or of truly melodic music.

A five-run first inning by No. 18 Louisville led the Cardinals to a 7-6 victory over the WVU baseball team on Saturday evening in game two of the series at Hawley Field.
The Mountaineers won game one of doubleheader in walk-off fashion earlier in the evening, setting up a rubber match on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Despite the loss, the Mountaineers outhit the Cardinals 10-6. Louisville committed two errors with WVU making one. WVU falls to 18-28 overall and 6-14 in the BIG EAST, and Louisville improved to 32-15 overall and 13-7 in conference play.
The Cardinals jumped out to a quick start with Cole Sturgeon drawing a leadoff walk. Stewart Ijames drove in Sturgeon for the first run of the game to give Louisville the early 1-0 lead with a one-out bases loaded walk. Ryan Seiz came to the plate in the next at bat and drove the ball over the left center field wall for a grand slam, extending the lead to 5-0.
The Mountaineers fought back by scoring a run in the bottom half of the inning as junior right fielder Brady Wilson scored on a Louisville error, and then a run in the second inning after a double by junior catcher Alan Filauro that plated freshman second baseman Billy Fleming.
After a run by Louisville in the third inning to bring the score to 6-2, freshman center fielder Bobby Boyd scored on a passed ball and sophomore first baseman Ryan McBroom scored on a Fleming single in the bottom half of the inning to cut the Cardinal lead to 6-4.
Louisville's Alex Chittenden scored a run on a wild pitch in the top of the seventh that proved to be costly in the bottom of the seventh as WVU scored two, bringing the game within one run at 7-6. Fleming knocked in another run with a single and junior shortstop John Polonius scored on a fielder's choice by junior left fielder Chris Rasky.
Sturgeon, who doubles as a reliever for the Cardinals, entered the game in the seventh inning and earned his first save of the season, pitching 2.2 innings and allowing just one hit with two strikeouts. Starter Jeff Thompson earned his ninth win of the season, giving up four runs on seven hits in five innings. Thompson struck out four and walked three.
WVU sophomore left-hander Marshall Thompson calmed down after a five-run first inning and lasted seven innings. Louisville knocked in seven runs on six hits against Thompson, who struck out six and walked five. Freshman left-handed reliever Caleb Ross pitched the final two innings and struck out four with two walks and no hits allowed.
Fleming led all players with four hits, scoring one run and driving in two. Boyd, Filauro and sophomore designated hitter Matt Frazer each recorded two hits for the Mountaineers. The first six batters in the WVU lineup scored one run apiece.
Zach Lucas scored two runs with two hits for Louisville, while Seiz and Ijames drove in four runs and two runs, respectively.
Sunday's finale will be video and audio streamed through MSNsportsNET.com, while local fans can listen on WAJR 1440-AM.

I've noticed a bit of a disturbing pattern of late in my cloud discussions with clients. They have been talking about hybrid cloud in the future tense. If you are planning for hybrid down the road, I have a wake up call for you. Too late, you are already hybrid.
If your company has even a single SaaS application in use today I can almost gurantee you it's connected to something inside your data center giving you hybrid cloud. So hybrid isn't a future state after you have a private cloud in place and IT Ops chooses to connect that private cloud to a public cloud. Look at it through the lens of a business process or application service which is composed of different components, some cloud-based, some on-premise. From an Infrastructure & Operations perspective, hybrid cloud means a cloud service connected to any other corporate resource (a back office app, your web site, your intranet, another SaaS app you have under contract and yes, even your private cloud). Any of these types of connections presents the same integration impact - whether you established the connection or not. If you are like the typical enterprise, that answered our Forrsights Q4 2012 Software Survey, then you have more than six SaaS applications in place today (that you know about) so cloud integration is likely well in place today. And about one third of the developers who responded to our Forrsights Q1 2013 Developer Survey said they have already deployed applications to the public cloud. Twenty-five percent also admitted to putting application integrations in place.
Posted by Mike Gualtieri on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on February 10, 2013
Hybrid clouds are especially subject to the law of unintended consequences, says Forrester's cloud expert James Staten. Many IT organizations don't even acknowledge that they have a hybrid cloud. The reality: If enterprises are using public cloud software-as-a-service (SaaS) and/or deploying any custom applications in the public cloud, then by definition they have a hybrid cloud, because it almost always connects to the back end.
In this episode of TechnoPolitics, James implores CIOs and IT professionals to get serious about hybrid cloud now to avoid spaghetti clouds in the future.

The Event
On Tuesday, September 4, Microsoft made the official announcement of Windows Server 2012, ending what has seemed like an interminable sequence of rumors, Beta releases, and endless speculation about this successor to Windows Server 2008.
So, is it worth the wait and does it live up to its hype? All omens point to a resounding "YES."
Make no mistake, this is a really major restructuring of the OS, and a major step-function in capabilities aligned with several major strategic trends for both Microsoft and the rest of the industry. While Microsoft's high level message is centered on the cloud, and on the Windows Server 2012 features that make it a productive platform upon which both enterprises and service providers can build a cost-effective cloud, its features will be immensely valuable to a wide range of businesses.
What It Does
The reviewers guide for Windows Server 2012 is over 220 pages long, and the OS has at least 100 features that are worth noting, so a real exploration of the features of this OS is way beyond what I can do here. Nonetheless, we can look at several buckets of technology to get an understanding of the general capabilities. Also important to note is that while Microsoft has positioned this as a very cloud-friendly OS, almost all of these cloud-related features are also very useful to an enterprise IT environment.

Is anyone working on determining the parentage of William LARGEN (177?-1832)? Contrary to oral history which says that his father was from Sweden, we believe that he was of French descent. The Largen history seems to stop with him and we would like to carry it back further. Help! Bill and Mary Largen Fox, Williamsburg, VA.

Lawmakers debate changing Florida's Stand your Ground law
Tonight, we have team coverage of the changes lawmakers are considering making to the controversial law.
Channel Three's Mollye Barrows shows us what happened in Tallahassee..
The Original author of stand your ground made it clear:
Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs
"It is an excellent common sense law, but it's not perfect."
When neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin, he was sent home under the belief that Police were powerless to investigate stand your ground claims. The compromise legislation fixes that.
Larry Ashley, Okaloosa County Sheriff, FL Sheriffs Assn.
"We have, not only the obligation but a desire to get to the bottom... We are fact finders."
The legislation also clarifies that aggressors and law breakers can't assert Stand Your Ground.
Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs
"You can't rely upon self-defense if you are the person who provokes the use of force"
The NAACP , which prefers an outright repeal told lawmakers:
Kim Keenan, NAACP Legal Counsel
"It's harder for black defendants to assert stand your ground defense if the victim is white, and easier for whites to raise if the stand your ground defense, if the victims are black."
The NRA says the legislation misses its mark.
Marion Hammer, Unified Sportsmen of FL
"Yes, we're Luke warm, we don't think it does a lot of good, but in its current state, we don't think it does a lot of harm, although there's potential."
"Still to be worked out is weather law enforcement will be required to train for just issued guidelines to neighborhood watch groups."
The legislation also limits immunity for someone using force, which signals trouble ahead for the purposed changes.

7/12/2012, 2:56 p.m.
On Saturday, July 7, hundreds of Nigerians gathered at Heckscher State Park in East Islip, Long Island, to enjoy an annual cookout. The event, originally hosted by the Edo Organization of New York City, draws people from all walks of life, from elders to young people.
One of the group's leading members, Ogieva Obadiaru, told the AmNews, "We come here with our families to share time together, see old friends and build up our community for the young people. We want to make sure that the youth keep ties with our culture and develop their interest in building on it."

Izzo on high expectations: That's a good thing. I want to have a chance to win national championship, compete at highest level."—
Brian Calloway (@brian_calloway) June 04, 2013

My take: Yes, we all have dreams and wishes.

My take: Talk about time flying. Wow.
Media met with Kevin Wilson at tailgate Tour. In short, he likes the helmets, thinks they'll be good for recruiting. Still likes his team…—
Dustin Dopirak (@DustinDopirak) June 04, 2013
My take: I still find it difficult to believe that a kid would pick a school based on a helmet design.

Tampa Bomb Squad cleared the scene in Clearwater, after a man tried to light a bucket of fertilizer.
Witnesses called police at 9:58 a.m., and reported they saw the man at the bus stop near 2200 Sunset Point Road.
The roadway was shut down at 10:20 a.m. during the investigation.
When police and fire arrived on scene, the suspect tried to leave.
Constantine Tambourakis was taken into custody shortly thereafter.
As part of the investigation, police spoke to his family who lives close by and was told that he was doing similar things yesterday with smaller amounts of palm tree fertilizer at the house.
They did not notify authorities yesterday.
Today's amount of fertilizer was larger.
Clearwater Police said the family told them Tambourakis has a history of mental issues and is currently off of his medication.
He has been charged with making a destructive device.

George Orwell Day
On 21st January 1950, George Orwell died in London. In recognition of one of Britain's greatest and most influential writers, Penguin Books, the Orwell Estate and The Orwell Prize are launching the inaugural 'Orwell Day' on 21st January with new editions of his most beloved books designed by David Pearson. The annual event will serve to celebrate his writing in all its forms and explore the profound influence he has had on the media and discourse of the modern world.
"Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime is death."
Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he awakens to new possibilities. Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent – even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101 …

But as a clever, ruthless elite among them takes control, the other animals find themselves hopelessly ensnared in the old ways.

'You always, I notice, feel the same when you are under heavy fire - not so much afraid of being hit as afraid because you don't know where you will be hit…'
In this chronicle of his experiences as a militiaman in the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell brings to bear all the force of his humanity, passion and clarity, describing with bitter intensity the bright hopes and cynical betrayals of that chaotic and brutal episode in European history.

'You have talked so often of going to the dogs – and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them.'
George Orwell's vivid memoir of his time among the desperately poor and destitute in London and Paris He painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor – sleeping in bug-infested hostels, working as a dishwasher in the vile 'Hôtel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts – in an unforgettable account of what being down and out is really like.

'Language is a political issue, and slovenly use of language and cliches make it easier for those in power to deliberately use misleading language to hide unpleasant political facts.'
Politics and the English Language is widely considered Orwell's most important essay on style. Style, for Orwell, was never simply a question of aesthetics; it was always inextricably linked to politics and to truth. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. Bad English, he believed, was a vehicle for oppressive ideology, and it is no accident that 'Politics and the English Language' was written after the close of World War II.

CNG cylinder blasts are not something that can be entirely blamed on the government while the public plays the innocent victim. In fact, such explosions — the latest blast in Karachi on Sunday took two lives — are very much of the people's own making. They are mostly the result of greed, disregard for safety and a general disrespect for life. They can hardly be attributed to the lack of a public-awareness campaign. The frequent explosions are loud enough in themselves to remind the public of the dangers posed by faulty CNG kits. CNG stations have to prominently display a notice refusing gas to the drivers of those vehicles that do not carry certificates declaring that their gas kits are in working order. There has been no let-up in official and media reminders about the urgency of a CNG kit examination. Aside from private hands — some of them competent, others adept only at complicating matters — there is the Hydrocarbon Development Institute of Pakistan that requires these kits to be examined every five years and has its own designated inspection centres. At around Rs500 per kit the job doesn't entail too high a price. It is criminal how vehicle owners ignore all these warnings at such huge risk to life and limb.
Of course the government can be asked to set up more examination centres and expedite their working. It also has a responsibility to haul up all those vehicles fitted with all kinds of improvised and unfit CNG cylinders and find effective ways to punish their users. At the same time, for their own sake, the citizens must look around and help in the identification of lawbreakers. Provided that everyone is willing to come out of their false security zones and get their kits checked, many precious lives may yet be saved.

One of our many examples of graffiti here in the Kemang area of South Jakarta.
I went for a ride on Saturday and found many more examples of what's happening around here in street art. There's some crap, some territorial scrawlings, but there's also some really beautiful, really well-done art.
I'll let you decide into which category this falls.
A little architecture, a little graffiti
A little bit of both. This is on the corner where Kemang Raya, the main street in our neighborhood, breaks off into two one-way streets. The graffiti, as you've seen in the last few days, is in the wreck of a former building. Adjacent to the old building is an old hotel. It sticks out because it is one of the taller buildings in this part of Kemang.
I'm trying to think of something witty or poignant to say about this,but nothing's coming to mind. All I can think about is that I didn't sleep well last night and now I'm so tired that I'm lucky that breathing is a reflex.
A window on art
This is another shot from Saturday morning's bike ride around Kemang. I like how what used to be a building frames the art that's growing up around the area. I will say this, though: there is little more difficult than trying to figure out which horizontal line in this photo should be straight. One of the rules of a good photo is that the horizon should be straight. The problem with this photo is that there are a couple too many horizons.
I still liked it enough to post it.
How about you?
She's been watching me
I've found some new-found freedom here in the Big Jak. I've been driving my motorcycle a lot this week, now that I finally have licence plates for it, and it's given me some ability to get around and snap photos that I've not had the opportunity to take.
This girl, painted on a wall at a corner on a one-way section of Jalan Kemang Raya, watches me every time I go by her. Today, I got out and took her picture. I like her headband-ears.
Now that I've got mobility, I think it's time to find some more street art.
Old school
This photo was taken at Simon Fraser University. I've had little time to take many photos lately, and I found this and felt a little pang of homesickness. I'm not homesick; I'm really happy here, but this photo is one of my all-time favorites. Those vine maples are so pretty.
More Jakarta tomorrow, okay?
Delicate, too
I get why Monet was inspired by these.
Photo Friday: Close
I find that when I put my camera on the ground, or upside-down on a train ceiling, or against a wall, I get the most interesting results, just because it's close to something.
Kemang alleys
The most fun way to get around on foot is to take these back alleys. I often am not sure where I'm going to end up, but that's the adventure of wandering through back lanes.
It should be said that most of these alleys are, in fact, full roads that are used by motorcycles and cars. And no, they're not really big enough for that, but that's how they're used.
Oh baby…
…I forgot how much fun it is to shoot in a super-shallow depth of field. I slapped my 55mm, f1.8, vintage Pentax lens on my camera and took a walk to school. This little piece of graffiti caught my eye and I shot it at f2.8 and it turned out like this.
What do you think?
The story…
There is a story going on here, and it extends around the entire temple at Borobudur. What is most fascinating is that the reliefs shown above are incredibly well rendered and seem to include characters from global cultures. There are Europeans, Classical Greeks, Chinese, African, and Indonesian characters, all carved into rocks that are well over one thousand years old. They all reflect the story of Buddha, his birth, life, and transcendence.
It's ART TIME!
That is what the Pavilion Mall in KL was proclaiming. We were looking for the Havaianas (Brazilian sandals) shop, so we didn't go in to look at the art, but they wanted us to know it was ART TIME.
Okay. We get it.
Abstract Lighting
I looked up as I walked out of the hall below the Petronas Towers. I saw this, above. A lighting version of a lotus flower, perhaps, but it was fun to shoot.
What do you think? Would this look nice in your living room?
Going home…
…from KL again. I love this city. There are some weirdnesses, and I've really never travelled away from the downtown core, but where I've been has been pretty sweet.
So, here's the Petronas Towers once again.
Ever wanted a pig in your coffee?
Well, this little pigguccino is just for you.
This little coffee shop nearby, the Antipodean, is a wondrous little place where breakfast is served all day and the baristas are happy to show off their artistic talents for you every time you order a cappuccino.
I love the house numbers in the Kemang area of Jakarta Selatan (South). I haven't been around enough of the rest of this city to say how they number houses there, but around here house numbers are often painted on in what look like numbers and letters from a retro cartoon show. It's like the artists from "Jonny Quest" or "Speed Racer" were commissioned to paint street and house markers.
One quick post before I leave Kuala Lumpur…
Not much to say, except that I'm not going to have time to post later today as I'm flying home to my loving and lovely wife, amazingly talented daughter and awesomely gifted son.
I'll see you soon family.
Here's another shot of the Petronas towers – a little ode to symmetry.
WordPress Photo Challenge: Hands
As I shot this, I got to thinking about what the artist's hands look like after he (she?) was done painting this. I mean, it's about five feet tall, was probably painted at night when an artist is less likely to get caught, and fully spray-painted. I can't imagine those hands were clean.
Another street art shot
Circles and lines. Hmm…
WordPress Photo Challenge: Unfocused
There's a little something in photography called Depth of Field. It refers to how much of a space there is between the nearest and farthest objects in a photograph that is sharply focused. A photographer may choose to have a large depth of field in order to keep everything in focus, or choose a small depth of field in order to allow a great deal of the photo to be out of focus. How you manipulate your aperture will determine how much of your photo is in focus, and, therefore, how large or small your depth of field is.
One strange this for me, however, is how a small aperture – say, f8 or above – may feel unfocused even though more of the photo is in sharp focus. Take the photo above, for instance. It was shot at f8. It is mostly sharp. It does, however, challenge me to decide on what subject to focus my attention. Should I pay attention to the bright and perplexing graffiti on the wall? Or maybe the strange artwork, wherein some…thing…seems to be trying to pry its way out of the wall? Or perhaps I should pay attention to the broken toilet and discarded shopping cart. By shooting it all in focus, I've created too many subjects and, therefore, created an unfocused, but sharp, photo.
What do you think?
Merry Christmas!
It would have been easy to snap a photo of a neatly wrapped package sitting under the tree, but I decided to test my ability to hold my camera steady. I failed, quite spectacularly too, on most of my shots, but this one turned out.
Well, it turned out in a sort of abstract art kind of way, but that's the way I remember most Christmases. Abstractly.
Oh. Merry Christmas. I hope Santa was good to you.
I invoke the power of Hercules to get me through the next two days!
From the Firenze files. This is the statue of "Hercules beating the Centaur Nessus", which is in the Loggia della Signoria in Florence. I thought of this statue tonight because I feel as though my strength is waning. As though Friday cannot come soon enough. As though Hercules needs to loan some of his strength to me and then I'll make it through this week.
Hercules! Help!
"Style is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward" – Robert Frost.
I've always loved Frost's poetry and the image of circles like this brings me back to his imagery.

Akrotiri is the name of a small Minoan settlement located on the volcanic island of Thera (or Santorini) in the Aegean Sea. Occupied first in the late Neolithic period during the fourth millennium BC, Akrotiri grew to an important trade center during the middle and late Bronze Age, with an elaborate drainage system and a palace.
In the late 17th century BC, a series of earthquakes forced the abandonment of the town, and a good thing too: Thera erupted shortly afterward, covering the city in ash and splitting the island in two.
Akrotiri has been suggested as a possible origin of Plato's Atlantis legend; archaeologists are more interested in the effects the eruption had on the Minoan culture. Most recently, controversy has stirred over the precise date of the eruptions at Akrotiri, with both ice core and volcanic dates indicating that the volcano erupted about 1625 BC, or about 100 years earlier than traditional dates.
Archaeological Studies at Akrotiri
Greek archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos excavated Akrotiri in the late 1960s and early 1970s; and then Christos Doumas took over. Most recent investigations have been focused on the wall paintings and decoration of pottery discovered at Akrotiri, particularly in the Cycladic period between ~2700-1600 BC.
This glossary entry is part of the About.com Guide to the Minoan culture and the Dictionary of Archaeology.
A terrific source for more information about Akrotiri is the project website of the Thera Foundation, which has some high-resolution images.

Editor's Note: Information is provided by police departments on the East End. A criminal charge does not imply a conviction.
Recent crimes and arrests reported elsewhere on the East End:
• On Monday, Southold Town police reported that Christopher L. Oliver, 26, of Mohamet, Ill., was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation, and attempted escape on Dec. 2 at 9:43 p.m., after police responded to a report of a subject rummaging through cars on Pequash Avenue in Cutchogue. A man with no identification who identified himself as Christopher Oliver was found in the immediate area matching the suspect's description, police said. The suspect was found to be in possession of marijuana at Midwood and Eastwood Roads in Cutchogue, was arrested and transported to police headquarters in Peconic for processing, at which point he attempted to run from the scene, police said. After being processed as Christopher Oliver, his fingerprint scan indicated Christopher Oliver was in fact Adam Flanigan, a fugitive from justice from Wisconsin, police said. Flanigan was processed under his true identity and held for arraignment. He was charged with forgery, false personation and being a fugitive from justice.
• Donald F. Lechtrecker, 65, of Orient, was charged with trespassing on Dec. 2 at 12:54 p.m., after a 25-year-old resident of Bird's Eye Road in Orient observed Lechtrecker drive his vehicle on his driveway and told police he wished to press charge against Lechtrecker, police said. He was transported to police headquarters, processed and released on $100 cash bail. Lechtrecker was arrested this past July, after he fired a rifle several times at five construction workers at a job site to the rear of the his residence, police said. The construction workers were not injured during the incident, but their construction vehicles were damaged by the rifle fire. Lechtrecker is due back in court for this incident on Dec. 12.
• After being indicted in April on seven felony sex crimes — including three charges of first-degree rape — an East Hampton man was indicted once again and now stands charged with nearly 70 felonies, all related to criminal sex acts with a minor, after police conducted further investigations. Fidel Castro-Brito, 23, was originally arrested on April 7 after a man went to police saying he allegedly saw Castro-Brito jumping out of his daughter's bedroom window upon his arrival home. He had confronted Castro-Brito months earlier on Facebook and advised him to stay away from his daughter because she is a minor and Castro said he would, he told police. Castro was later arrested by East Hampton Town police and indicted by a Suffolk grand jury. According to the most recent indictment, handed down by a grand jury, the victim Castro-Brito raped on two separate occasions was under the age of 11 years old at the time of the incidents. In April, police interviewed Castro and took a sworn statement, in which he admitted to having sexual intercourse on at least one occasion with the minor, according to police. Three victims in total are referred to in the more recent indictment, all of whom were reported to be under the age of 13 when the incidents spanning from the summer of 2010 through the fall of 2011 occurred. State law protects their identity.
• Two sticky-fingered Scrooges paid a visit to an Aquebogue home a few weeks short of Christmas — and stole the presents right off the front porch. Aquebogue resident Brenda Green said her daughter looked out the window and saw an old blue station wagon pulling into the driveway. Suspects ran to the porch, grabbed the packages, which contained Christmas presents, and sped away, Green said. Riverhead Town police confirmed that on Tuesday at 3:28 p.m., two unknown middle-aged women removed several packages from Green's porch and left the area in an unknown blue station wagon.
• A Riverhead High School student was able to save herself from a possible abduction Wednesday morning. According to Riverhead Superintendent Nancy Carney, the girl was walking to school when a man in a black sedan started making conversation with her. After the girl got away from him, Carney said she noticed that he pulled into the parking lot of Bagel Lovers on Osborn Avenue in Riverhead. At the same time, a sheriff's deputy happened to be coming out of the eatery, and the student told him what had happened. Once in school, she went straight to administrators, who called the Riverhead Police Department. Police said the incident is under investigation.
• Three Hampton Bays men were arrested last week in a drug bust orchestrated by the East End Drug Task Force, according to Southampton Town police. Police arrested Ronald Jiminez Sr., 63, on felony drug charges last Thursday and two other men were charged with violations of unlawful possession of marijuana. According to police, a search warrant was executed at 30 Springville Rd., in response to investigations concerning ongoing drug sales on the East End. Cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were reportedly recovered and seized; however, no charges related to drug sales were immediately handed out.

Bipartisan support for Branstad budget, legislative agenda
Bullying victims, school superintendents and other officials testified before Iowa lawmakers on Thursday to advocate for anti-bullying and anti-harassment legislation in the state. Education subcommittees in the House and Senate debated bills to address bullying situations in Iowa schools. Both will go before their respective education committees. Governor Terry Branstad has made cracking down on school bullying a priority of his administration.
Siouxland remembers local TV icon Jim Henry
Local TV icon Jim Henry has been laid to rest. Funeral services were held Thursday for Henry, who died last week in Michigan at the age of 89. Jim was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but Sioux City became his home after World War II. For more than 30 years, he was the Canyon Kid on local TV and then the host of KTIV's Around Siouxland. After services at Blessed Sacrament Church, he was buried at Graceland Cemetery with military honors.
Band students get a chance to learn from the pros
High school musicians from across Siouxland jam with the pros. Saxophonist Craig Treinen and bassist Jerry DeVore were special guests at this year's Morningside Jazz Festival. Both are professional musicians who've played with some big names like The Temptations and Gladys Knight. Treinen and DeVore will be performing in concert Saturday at Morningside College's Eppley Auditorium.

Day 1: NICE
That was one heckuva 1st day for the Dallas Cowboys. A quick review of the picks:
1st round, 22 overall:
Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas
John Czarnecki, FoxSports: Now, Jones isn't as talented as McFadden, but when scouts visited Arkansas they came away impressed with Felix Jones and rated him awfully close to McFadden. Jones is light, but he does have great north-south explosion.
Scouts, Inc: Felix Jones gives them an explosive playmaker who can score from anywhere on the field. He is also an explosive returner in the kicking game.
1st round, 25 overall:
Mike Jenkins, DB, South Florida
Scouts, Inc: ...potential to develop excellent man-to-man cover skills because he opens his hips well and is a quick, fast athlete. There's also a lot to like about his versatility; he can line up at safety and can make an impact as a kick returner.
2nd round, 61 overall:
Martellus Bennett, TE, Texas A&M
Scouts, Inc: Bennett isn't an elite run-blocker and doesn't have great top-end speed. However, he's a great value. Watching him on film and knowing that he played college basketball for two seasons, it's hard not to compare him to San Diego tight end Antonio Gates. Much like Gates, Bennett knows how to use his size to box defenders out, and he can make tough catches in traffic. Taking the comparison even further, Bennett is versatile enough to flex out wide.

Felt good. Squat strength is picking up.
Have decided to add some ab work on leg days. Had been doing decline crunches, but I think the cable exercises will allow me to progressively load throughout the bulk.
Still not gaining weight at 2400cals, but feeling like I have more energy in the gym.
Been taking a 1/2 scoop of dextrose before and after workout now that calorie levels allow it.
The strength is coming, I can feel it.

You should be doing chins with those kind of numbers on pulldowns man.
i agree manOriginally Posted by Risk10k
my gym is limited on the pullup bar, chinup bar front though
they only have the side mounted deals on the cable pulley station
only allows for wide grip pullups and shoulder width pullups

nice lifting bro
what is your rep scheme now? are you working up for a triple or so on your compound lifts and reps for your assistance exercises?
to tell you the truth i'm not exactly sure what my rep scheme is yet
i kind of pyramided this morning, which i never do
i think i may go with a warmup and then 2 working sets of 5 and/or 3

Having spent the last couple of years touring the UK and Ireland, as well as mainland Europe, clocking up shows alongside the likes of The Bronx, The Joy Formidable, Twin Atlantic and Therapy? along the way, the band are now set to unleash their debut album, 'Finding St Kilda', produced by Rocky O'Reilly (And So I Watch You From Afar, Fighting With Wire) at Start Together Studios in their native Ireland earlier this year.
Speaking of the record and the band's approach in general, Friers says, "We started playing music together as kids and we decided then we'd live by two concrete rules - We'd only play music we wanted to hear and write words we thought were important. For us, the album is the perfect representation of what we are. Written by Mastodon fans hooked on Fang Island!"
Crushingly heavy and littered with pop sensibility throughout, 'Finding St Kilda', is an undeniably original and 'heart on your sleeve' affair. It's no surprise that Kerrang! has already declared that "cult status looks assured."
Those tour dates:
March 20th - Cork - Nancy Spain
March 21st - Limerick - Dolans
March 22nd - Dublin - Workmans Club
March 23rd - Galway - Roisin Dubh (Upstairs)
March 30th - Belfast - The Empire
