Fall Semester 2014 House Courses
59.01 An Intergenerational Perspective on Contemporary Issues and Practical Ethics
Sundays, 2:00-3:30 pm, Bishop's House
Sponsor/Department: Betsy Alden, Kenan Institute for Ethics
Instructors: Dominique Beaudry
Class limit: 12
This course explores different generations' perspectives on ethical issues relevant in our world today. The approach is an interactive one, where undergraduates partner with their counterparts in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) in pursuing and sharing perspectives on current issues. The course takes its cue from Socrates, "The unexamined life is not worth living". The issues, topics of social and political interest with ethical grounding, provide the fodder for exploration and discovery.
Human beings are quintessentially social beings, and the class builds on this. Current events from a range of topics are explored and shared by intergenerational pairs, within the context of humankind as a moral animal. In examining such issues through an intergenerational lens, the course fosters ethical inquiry in the life of the university, a community in which a diversity of undergraduates interact with a diversity of faculty, staff and graduate students. The emphasis of the course is on "Who am I becoming?" rather than on "What's the right thing to do?" Our guiding question for all discussion is from Socrates: "How, then, shall we live?"
59.02 Barriers and Medical Technology: Access and Innovation
Thursdays, 7:00-8:30 pm, Keohane 4B, Seminar Room 402
Sponsor/Department: Anthony So, Duke Global Health Institute
Class limit: 15
An important and critical topic in global health is the availability of and access to medicines (pharmaceuticals) and similar products in the developing world. While medicines help in treating individuals, the availability of those products is controlled by complex interactions between law, economics, policy, and medicine.
This course will serve as an introductory course to highlight the fundamentals of intellectual property rights, the pharmaceutical development process, and examine effective strategies that have been used to increase access to essential medicines in developing countries. Within those fields the course will look at the stakeholders in global health and the underlying ethical issues.
This class will provide a substantial overview of these topics and inform students on a topic they may not otherwise have exposure to during their undergraduate years. The course will allow students to foster an understanding and enthusiasm for the complex issues that underlie access to medicines; a topic which is normally inaccessible to many undergraduates. Such a multidisciplinary approach will expand individuals' perceptions of global health and emphasize the strong potential for non-medically related fields to impact global health.
No prior experience in global health is necessary. The course will also cover basic fundamentals to get students acquainted with global health.
59.03 Tools for Financial Coaching
Mondays, 6:00-7:30 pm, GA Down Under
Sponsor/Department: Kathy Sikes, Program in Education
Class limit: 30
This course will equip students with the tools they need to be successful financial coaches. Guest speakers from local agencies will come to teach in-depth about each week's topic. Case studies will accompany each topic, and instructors will facilitate discussions and exercises to apply concepts to the practical context of volunteering as an Advocate with the Community Empowerment Fund (CEF), an organization which pairs teams of volunteers to work one-on-one with individuals living in transitional housing. Students will provide 1.5 hours of service each week outside of the house course as a CEF Advocate at an office hour location.
59.04 Know Your Status: An Interdisciplinary Inquiry into HIV/AIDS
Tuesdays, 7:00-8:30 pm, Kilgo House N: N 001-SEM (Basement of Kilgo N)
Sponsor/Department: Kearsley Stewart, Duke Global Health Institute
Class limit: 18
HIV/AIDS is a global epidemic that has affected millions of people worldwide. Traditional study into this subject has largely focused on gaining a better understanding of the science behind HIV/AIDS. This house course will provide a multidisciplinary approach to the subject, exploring topics and issues that go far beyond the science, issues that are just as important to comprehending the effect of HIV/AIDS. Topics explored range from faith to gender to contemporary media portrayals, all revolving around HIV/AIDS. This course was created from the Duke University student organization, Know Your Status, and looks to increase awareness about the different issues related to HIV/AIDS within the Duke population.
59.05 Creating Spaces for Meaningful Conversation
Mondays, 6:00-7:20 pm, Kilgo J Common Room
Sponsor/Department: Janie Long, Women's Studies
Class limit: 15
This course is based on the idea that having meaningful and deep discussions often requires a certain level of awareness and a specific set of skills. These tools allow someone to question the undertones weaved into the conversation, keep participants engaged and committed, and redirect or refocus things when they aren't going as planned. While a majority of the readings, and thus discussions, revolve around social justice, the class is not specifically focused on these topics. This course will provide tips for individuals to actively listen, ask questions that will further the conversation, and genuinely validate participants.
59.06 Auto-Symposium
Tuesdays, 7:00-8:30pm, Keohane 4B, Seminar Room 402
Sponsor/Department: Makeba Wilbourn, Psychology and Neuroscience
Class limit: 12
This course is designed as an opportunity for students to explore their academic identities and interests. There is no pre-determined content; instead, topics of discussion during each class session will be generated collectively by the class beforehand. Students will be expected to individually engage in a thorough investigation of each topic before class time. The range of topics available for discussion is essentially unlimited.
Since the course content (both in the sense of topics to be discussed and the actual events in the classroom) is wholly determined by the students, we seek participants with two important qualities. The first is the desire to share one's academic passions with a group of peers and to do so whole-heartedly and enthusiastically. The second is a genuine academic curiosity and willingness to delve into new areas of study. Such a student must be willing to take others' perspectives and to fully engage any given topic of discussion.
59.07 TED Talks: Ideas that Transform and Empower
Mondays, 6:45-8:15 pm, Few GG, Common Room 101
Sponsor/Department: Robert J. Thompson, Psychology and Neuroscience
Instructors: Elizabeth Onstwedder
Class limit: 12
This course will capitalize on a new way of learning: TED talks. By watching, discussing, and making connections between TED talks, students will evaluate ideas in subject areas ranging from technology and the future to the importance of the arts. Key themes underlying the entire course include social responsibility, leadership, and inspiration. The course points towards an emerging 21st century style of learning, based around open source information and the exchange of ideas, and a new style of leadership that focuses on inspiration and empowerment.
59.08 Beyond DukeEngage
Thursdays, 7:00-8:30 pm, Keohane 4D, Seminar Room 201
Sponsor/Department: Eric Mlyn, Public Policy Studies
Class limit: 12
Beyond DukeEngage will focus on prominent domestic and international social issues and how these issues are currently being dealt with by civic institutions, national and international programs, and past and present DukeEngage student projects. Beginning with a debate about the meaning of modern development of civic engagement throughout the ages, the course will evolve to discussions around current social issues and projects as diverse as microfinancing to HIV/AIDs relief to the PeaceCorps. Our discussions will be applied to the perceptions and impact of social entrepreneurship, and tread through the professions in civic engagement and those that stem from civic engagement. Throughout the course, students will be highly immersed in these themes as the course utilizes a variety of speakers, activities, readings, documentaries, and service opportunities to expose the students to civic engagement. Additionally, as the course will work cohesively with the Duke Center for Civic Engagement, especially with its DukeEngage department, students will be provided with examples of real ways through which they can engage the issues discussed in the course through both current collegiate opportunities, like DukeEngage, a well as career pathways in the world post-Duke.
The course structure will include discussion of ethical and political issues surrounding social change for the first few weeks, and then we will follow with several weeks to investigate current and prominent social issues and civic implementations, and how activism can translate to the professional world. The latter eight weeks will contain the following scheme with some modification from class to class: an introduction to the week's theme, bolstered by relevant readings and discussion; a presentation, activity, documentary, or a combination of these and other elements to further investigate the issue; and then a concluding discussion on the issue and the efficacy of current efforts which seek to employ the techniques visited in class to address the problem at hand. Additionally, throughout the course, students will be expected to further investigate these themes through a paper and service project proposal designed by individual students or in groups.
59.09 Mathematical Beauty in Rhythm, Through the Lens of Carnatic Music
Wednesdays, 7:00-8:30 pm, Keohane 4B, Seminar Room 402
Sponsor/Department Purnima Shah, Dance
Instructors: Abhishek Balakrishnan
Class limit: 10
Rhythm and laya are terms beyond just the beats of a composition, but rather that describe the natural movements throughout the universe. Upon perceiving sound, be it a drum beat, the tick of a clock, or the raindrops outside, our brain analyzes this sound and creates a sensational response. Music is as much a science as it is an aesthetic. Rhythm is fascinating in that it helps us generate an understanding of the mathematics in nature, even if we do not necessarily have an initial mathematical awareness. This course seeks to explore the origins of sound and trace them to the way we respond to sounds and rhythms. The emphasis will be on the concept of rhythm through the Carnatic tradition, or South Indian Classical Music.
The course takes an interdisciplinary approach to learning music and relies heavily on recordings and live demonstrations of the theoretical concepts in music and how they are presented today. Through highly interactive lessons, students will actively engage with key components of the musical form including but not limited to percussion instruments, beat cycles, and rhythmic composition construction. There are no prerequisites (be it music, math, neuroscience, or psychology) required for this course. Students will ideally leave the course with a fundamental understanding of rhythm in the context of classical Indian music and dance and how rhythm and mathematics are intimately connected.
59.10 Women and International Development
Mondays, 7:00-8:30 pm, Keohane 4B, Seminar Room 402
Sponsor/Department Sherryl Broverman, Biology
Class limit: 12
This course is an overview of the issues facing women in international development. We will focus on women in developing nations, and each class will cover a different pertinent topic, from HIV/AIDS to access to secondary education. We will examine these issues from multiple perspectives, including public policy, cultural anthropology and human rights viewpoints. The main topics covered are women's health, women's education and women's economic contributions. Throughout our discussions, we will be exploring organizations dedicated to ameliorating gender disparities.
59.11 Monkey Business: The Physiology and Sexuality of Primates
Thursdays, 7:00-8:30 pm, Crowell CC Common Room
Sponsor/Department: Christine Drea, Evolutionary Anthropology
Class limit: 12
Since the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859, the scientific community has firmly established that chimpanzees and other non-human primates are human's closest living relatives. On one hand, the two species exhibit numerous physiological similarities, including their methods of circulation, respiration, sensation, and locomotion. These similarities extend down to our basic genetics: humans are 96% similar to the great ape species, with the number of genetic differences between humans and chimps being 10 times smaller than that between mice and rats! Yet despite the biological similarities, primate species (including us humans) display a diverse array of social systems, courtship behaviors, and communication patterns.
This course will aim to give students with little to no background in primate biology an overview of the physiological functions and social behaviors of primates. The course is intended to act as a basic introduction to various systems in the primate body and as a preparation for advanced courses, such as Evolutionary Anthropology 341, Primate Sexuality, and Biology 329D, Animal Physiology. Additionally, we will discuss special applications of the course material in the fields of Emergency Medicine and Neuroscience.
Throughout the course, students will be exposed to various topics surrounding primate behavior. Light homework assignments, consisting of written summaries or worksheets, will be assigned on a regular basis, and students will work in collaborative groups to discuss weekly assignments. At the conclusion of the course, students will deliver a 5-page paper on a related topic of their choosing, which will draw from the material covered in class.
59.12 Sex, Obscenity, and Censorship
Tuesdays, 7:00-9:00 pm, Few GG, Room 101 CM
Sponsor/Department: Kathi Weeks, Women's Studies
Class limit: 15
In 1973 U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart held "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced [as obscene content]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that" (emphasis added). Considered to be one of the most famous cases in contemporary obscenity law, Justice Stewart's comment typifies of the ambiguity of the obscene. It is in response to this that this course seeks to define the relationship between sex, obscenity, and censorship. How does the policing of sex and obscenity impact identities (such as race, gender, class, sexual orientation) and institutions (such as the family)? Drawing from a variety of media – art, music, film, photography, news broadcasting, television, etc. – as well as readings on obscenity law, feminist theory, and philosophy, we will explore how media communicates pleasure and/or resistance in a way that incites controversy. In particular we will ask what it means to be censored, what (if anything) should be censored, and address issues of power, suppression, repression, and free choice. WARNING: Some texts/class materials may contain graphic sexual content. Please contact instructor for more information.
59.13 Neurotheology: The Biology of Belief
Wednesdays, 5:15-6:46 pm, Keohane 4B, Seminar Room 402
Sponsor/Department: Leonard White, Duke Institute for Brain Sciences
Class limit: 10
Are our brains wired for religion? Or does practicing religion alter the landscapes of our brains? For centuries, both neuroscientists and theologians have been trying to answer these elusive questions. With the development of novel neuroimaging techniques however, identifying and pinpointing the neuroscientific basis for religion no longer remains an enigma. This course aims to bring attention to these recent developments in neurotheology – a field that bridges the divide between neuroscience and faith. We will explore topics such as the neurogenetic basis of belief, epilepsy-induced hyperreligiosity, hallucinations and out-of-body experiences, psychedelic mystical experiences, and our brain's ability to construct reality. By the end of this class, we will not only be at the forefront of comprehending the changes that occur in our brain as a result of spiritual practice but also be able to foster discussion in our community on the contemporary interplay between science and religion.
59.14 The Ever-Expanding Barrio
Mondays, 6:00-7:45 pm, Few GG 6th Floor Commons
Sponsor/Department: Joan Clifford, Romance Studies
Class limit: 15
The space for Latin@s seems like lip service. A corner in cities, in factories, in television, but most tragically, in academia. In spite of their vast contributions to the United States, Latin@s remain footnotes in Western imaginary. It is this lagging, worse, the compact accommodation that perpetuates epistemic poverty (stereotype as its epitome). As a Latin@, there exists an internal crisis, one in which cultural memory is confined to the subjective, the metaphysical, the soulful. It seems the modern nation-state sends ambivalent signals, unsure of where to relegate the essence of Latin@s as domestic or foreign. The embodiment of contradiction, Latin@s remain inscribed in the colonial borderlands of unofficiated territories. As eloquent and articulate a Latin@ may be, as rapid-fire as forked tongues may be, the mark of the migrant lingers. Afflicted with tensions of dual identity, the periphery of status provides solace insofar as it exposes multiple narratives – oral histories, corridos, bailes vis a vis American exceptionalism, founding fathers, questions of loyalty. The partitioning of self is as much a blessing as it is a burden. And without ample opportunity to flesh out these intricate experiences, the existence of Latin@s will remain problematic.
This House Course on the Latin@ Experience is testament to the aspirations of a bourgeoning Latin@ force, one determined to define itself within its own agency, yet fully aware of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles of a nation-state still trapped in Manifest destiny illusions. Furthermore, the issues of undocumented immigration, Latin@ identity and the process of border crossing are constantly posing complex and controversial questions in our society. The border itself, as Gloria Anzaldua wrote:
"Es una herida abierta where the Third World grates against the First and bleeds. And before a scab forms it hemorrhages again, the lifeblood of two world merging to form a third country—a border culture. Borders are set up to define the places that are safe and unsafe, to distinguish us from them. A border is a dividing line, a narrow strip along a steep edge. A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary. It is in a constant state of transition."
The course seeks to articulate the various plights that surround Latinos here in the United States. Issues such as (illegal) immigration (its socio-economic, political imperatives), narratives of border crossing, the demythologization of the Latino archetype, (border) identity, gender inequality (Machismo; Marianismo), health, higher education, resistance, etc., are the foreground of our analysis. Moreover, as an intermediary between officiated bodies of knowledge (professors and faculty) and students, we understand the initial nervousness surrounding a privileged, academic body. As such, a vital facet of this House Course is to introduce an element of informality insofar as it encourages students to test their perspectives coming into the discussion. It serves not as a bully pulpit, but as a bi-directional discourse, where experienced lives may learn from the preconceived notions, and vice versa. Let us clarify: the goal is to stress the horizontality of this seminar and strive towards a collective understanding, between cultures, beyond labels (Latino, woman, Asian, white, poor, farmworker).
Throughout the course, students will be highly immersed in these themes as the course analyzes the Latin@ experience through different lenses. We will have a variety of speakers, all uniquely involved with the immigrant experience, including student/community activists, scholars, undocumented Latin@ community members, and Latin@ construction and maintenance personnel. Through a combination of activities, readings, documentaries, service opportunities, optional field trips, and sustained dialogue, students will begin to understand how their own identities intertwine with those of the greater community. Additionally, as the course will work cohesively with the Women's Center, Program for Latin@ Studies in the Global South, Spanish Language Program, and Romance Studies Department, students will be provided with opportunities to apply what they learned outside the classroom so they can better act on their own social responsibilities.

I pride myself with being a very…
Why I'm no Longer Ashamed of Shapewear
Shapewear is not new to me. While I didn't always own it I have vivid memories of watching my Grandmother get ready for church in the morning, squeezing into something she called a "girdle". She said she wore it because it helped her look better in dresses, she compared it to my slip (you know that thing women don't wear anymore). Women may no longer wear "Girdles", but they definitely wear "ShapeWear". ShapeWear is a growing trend in enhancement undergarments and with the fashion industry vanity sizing everything it's almost a must. Shapewear isn't a must for everyday wear, unless you absolutely feel it is, but when worn under certain outfits it can create the perfect silhouette that will turn heads.
I got over my shapewear phobia last year when I needed a slip to help me fit a dress. I'm not the size 4 that I was back in 2008 but I was afraid that wearing shapewear was going to automatically categorize me as being overweight. This was horrible thinking on my part and as I'm learning to accept that I'm a little thicker than before I know that Shapewear is more of my friend and not my enemy, especially if it would give me the extra smoothing out I needed to make sure the dress fit perfectly. Think of it as an instant Nip and Tuck without the surgery or the medical bills! What I like about shapewear is now it's more modern and comes in classic colors and styles to fit any women's needs. Just this last weekend Macy's was having a Buy 2 Get 2 Free deal on all Bali and MaidenForm shapewear so I made sure to stock up on what I feel are the the ultimate must haves for any woman's closet.
The Waist Slimmer
The Waist Slimmer is perfect for those who want a flat stomach, to pull in the waist, to control back bulging and a little extra lift in the booty area.
The Body Shaper
The Body Shaper is a classic piece that has been reinvented to look more like lingerie than shapewear. The clean sleek and modern designs gives the wearer a smooth shape while controlling problem areas. Depending on the fabric this type can be worn everyday.
The BYOB Body Shaper
You've heard of BYOB but the last "B" doesn't stand for what you think. the "Bring Your Own Bra" or "Wear Your Own Bra" body shaper does everything the original Body Shaper does but it allows for the wearer to choose their own bra. This is great for if you need to wear a bra that adds a bit more padding or one lifts you up.
The Camisole
The Camisole should most certainly be found in your closet. It's not only great for layering but it smoothes and shapes the midsection all while offering tummy control. If you wan't to wear a button down shirt but have a problem with that one button across your chest buckling then this is the shape wear item for you. It's one of those camisoles that' meant to be seen and can even be worn while doing Yoga or Pilates.
The Full Slip
When you dress calls for a little something underneath to counteract the fact that it's semi see through reach for the The Full Slip. It's definitely not the all white with the lace across the top that you wore as a child. The breathable panels make them perfect for wear in the hotter months and it smooths and slims you while also concealing your goodies!
The Thigh Slimmer
The Thigh Slimmer is one of my favorites. Perfect to pair under dress pants or even a skirt. The smooth the thighs out and allow for extra room in the leg area of pants that are contoured to fit closely around the upper thighs.
Do you wear Shapewear and aren't ashamed to tell it? What are some of your favorite pieces? If you're new to the shapewear game take the time out and really access what you need for your wardrobe, or take my list and go try on some. Yes try it on! Shapewear is not one size fit all because it has your correct cup size does not mean it will fit your body size.

This discussion was first published on Dec 3 2010 as part of the 2010-2011 Red List update, but remains open for comment to enable reassessment in 2013. A large-scale re-evaluation of species limits among Pyrrhura parakeets has resulted in, amongst other changes, the transferring of the taxon emma of Venezuela from P. leucotis into P. picta (SACC 2008, 2010). The species Pyrrhura leucotis is now restricted to Brazil, where it is found in to lowland and foothill (up to 500 m) forest from Bahia south of the Jequitinhonha river, south to Espirito Santo, parts of eastern Bahia and Rio de Janeiro. The southernmost population now occurs in Serra do Tinguá (22˚36′S, 43˚27′W). In southern Bahia it has been recently found in only 4 of 30 surveyed areas, and seems associated with the now very reduced "matas de tabuleiro", and it has undoubtedly undergone significant population declines. Prior to this reorganisation P. leucotis was classified as Near Threatened, and it was noted that the Brazilian population was far more highly threatened than the birds in Venezuela: it seems likely that following this taxonomic change leucotis may warrant a higher category of threat. Information on population size and trend (to be assessed over a period of 18 years/three generations – BirdLife International unpubl. data), together with comments on the threat from trade (if any) and the ability of the species to persist in degraded habitats and isolated fragments of forest are requested. SACC (2008). Proposal 206: Redefine species limits in Pyrrhura picta and leucotis complexes SACC (2010). Proposal 403: Elevate Pyrrhura griseipectus to species rank

Roque Santa Cruz: 5 Fingers, 3/4 Profile
Friday couldn't have come soon enough for us this week, Kickettes. We need some serious Roque relief.
Unfortunately he's acting a bit miffy since we changed the F5 list and has barred us from his IM chat list. Seems "temporary change" isn't in Roque's vocabulary and we're being given the hand.
Damn these rich, physically supreme, all round hot-arse men with their ethical standards.
You don't see Fernando Torres complaining, and he's yet to make the list. Look how devastated he is, poor doll.

NEW YORK — U.S. stock indexes are moving higher for a second day as the bond market recovers from a slump.
Traders were also encouraged by an upturn in Europe.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 84 points, or 0.6 percent, to 14,844 as of noon Eastern Daylight Time Wednesday. Boeing led the Dow higher with a jump of 1.8 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 was up nine points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,597. Eight of the 10 industry sectors in the S&P rose.
The Nasdaq composite index was up 20 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,368.
A stampede out of the bond market reversed course after the government reported that the U.S. economy grew at slower rate in the first three months of the year than estimated earlier.

Asus N55SF review
Quad-core power, fast Nvidia graphics and Bang & Olufsen speakers, and all for a very good price
Review Date: 6 Dec 2011
Reviewed By: Sasha Muller
Price when reviewed: £613 (£736 inc VAT)
Features & Design
Value for Money
The industry may be looking to Intel's Ultrabook concept as the way forward, but Asus's newest offering shows it's still possible to inject some novelty into larger laptops. The N55SF takes a 15.6in display and some seriously beefy components, and adds Bang & Olufsen speakers and an external subwoofer.
Visually, the N55SF is a classy affair. It breezes into view with a glossy black lid encompassed by a thick strip of chrome, and the chassis tapers to a delicate curve around its edges. The two-tone black and silver interior looks great, too.
There's no mistaking the all-plastic construction, though. Next to HP's Envy laptops or Apple's MacBooks, all hewn from slabs of metal, the N55SF feels a bit ordinary. It's only once you spend some time prodding and poking at it that the quality of the build shines through. The thick lid gives the display plenty of protection, and there's only the slightest whimper from the base when you twist it viciously from side to side. The flipside to such solidity is weight: at 2.79kg it isn't ideal for the daily commute.
But this isn't a laptop with travel on its mind; it's an entertainment laptop through and through. The Bang & Olufsen ICEpower speakers deliver far more clarity than most laptops, and the Asus SonicMaster software makes it quick and easy to tweak playback for music, movies and games. The real novelty is the separate subwoofer, a little accessory that plugs into the Asus' side. The results are impressive. There's still no semblance of real, ground-shaking sub-bass, but the extra speaker makes its presence heard, adding more depth and fullness to the sound.
That sonic performance is matched by a fine display. The 1,600 x 900 resolution is a welcome surprise – we're used to 1,366 x 768 displays on today's 15.6in laptops – and the matte finish does its bit to keep reflections and glare at bay. A measured contrast ratio of 550:1 and maximum brightness of 281cd/m2 see the Asus deliver bright whites and inky blacks, and while the low gamma of 1.9 leaves images looking a tad pale, it's nothing we couldn't learn to live with.
The chrome / plastic
makes it look cheap and tacky, like a bargain basement laptop from a couple of years ago.
If it had a 1920x1080 display, 3G and a less brash case, I might be tempted...
By big_D on 6 Dec 2011
1600x900 is a bit odd as a resolution especially in something designed for video playback. Why not just go for it and fit a proper 1080p display?
By tirons1 on 6 Dec 2011
Res is fine for 15.6"
1080 on a 15 inch screen would be a waste plain and simple, and it would push that awesome price up.
1600x900 is still the correct aspect ratio for a media player, any laptop that can beat the horrible 1366x768 will get my approval.
I was genuinely shocked to see the calibre of this machine given its price. If only the low TDPs of Ivy Bridge weren't around the corner I'd seriously consider this as a replacement option.

This is a heck of a lot of machine with a VERY decent resolution for the money.

I'm with the '1920x' crowd
I've been using IBMs for years with 1920x1200 resolutions in a 15" display, and it's not excessive, not when you use demanding applications (e.g. visual studio).
IBM however fall down in the trackpad area, they're normally tiny and fiddly to use.
With the amount of laptops released every year, it's frustrating that no-one combines all the good points. High res screen, nice keyboard, nice trackpad. Honestly, is it too much to ask...?

Only 1050 lines for me
Sadly I have only used, 1400x1050 and 1680x1050, but would never go for anything less. Video comes in 720p and 1080p, so I'd rather spend the extra tenner. A visit to Dell's US site will show you how little extra a good display is.

Quality Control?
Just wondering how long this particular machine has been around, how many reviews has it gone through?
The trackpad area is already showing signs of wear.
By Duggie on 6 Dec 2011
Duggie hit the nail on the head
Build quality and quality of materials used is in my experience a reason to avoid Asus notebooks.
While the internals seem tempting they tend to cut corners with the chassis materials. So you can get a decent specification notebook for reasonable money but don't expect it to last much longer than the warranty period.
Issues I personally experienced on my own notebook include a failed Turbo Memory module, a webcam which lost its firmware, plastics and trackpad losing finish and showing base material colour. I also recall Asus shipping notebooks with recovery and driver discs containing staff personal files and malware.
So you can take a chance with Asus at your own risk but I would spend the extra and get a Dell (who are much improved these days) or Lenovo instead.

Specs look good, but I agree with others on the design. The large silver area under the screen could have been used for a superior screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, rather than the gimped 16:9 screens which all manufacturers (bar Apple) have forced upon users.

While coaching the Port Huron Flags of the IHL during the '68-'69 season, Ted Garvin came up with a unique approach when a penalty shot was called against his team. Rather than have his goalie between the pipes for the free shot, Ted put his biggest defenseman, Jerry "King Kong" Korab (later of the Buffalo Sabres) in goal, who was instructed to charge the unsuspecting shooter as soon as he crossed the blue line and flatten him. After Roger Neilson used the tactic in an NHL game, a rule was instituted that only a goalie could defend against a penalty shot.
From Kerry Fraser's "The Final Call"

Post with 1 note
The graph above I copied from Thomas P.M. Barnett's blog, Take that! All the girls I was afraid to date in high school!, where it appeared without commentary; apparently Dr. Barnett felt that the graph spoke for itself. And so it does. I have apparently had a similar life experience (though I would not identify the blue line as "nerds"), since I find that, whatever my disappointments (and they are keen), my life continues to get better over time. I would not trade my life today for my life in my 20s for anything.
Recently, in a context that I have already forgotten, I came across one of those classic statements that sound so pathetic when one first hears them, in which the writer says how wonderful their life was when they were in school or college, and that it has never been as good for them since then. (Sorry I forgot the reference; this post would have been much better if I had had the quote.) I used to feel sorry for the kind of person who could make such a pathetic confession, but now I think differently.
It is to be expected that different persons of different temperaments will thrive and flourish under different circumstances, and that among the conditions that produce these different circumstances are the various stages of life. Some temperaments will flourish when young; others will flourish when they are old.
In other words, some temperaments are more likely to be suited to certain stages of life than other temperaments. Aristotle observed that we usually enjoy doing the things that we are good at. If you are good at being a child, you will probably enjoy childhood, and so on for adolescence, young adulthood, maturity, and old age. This sounds like an odd way to express the fact, as we don't usually say that someone is "good at" being an adolescent, but I think that if you will at least consider this, you will find that it is accurate.
There is a frightening evocation of this in the film What ever happened to Baby Jane? Two sisters experience fame at different stages of life and these different experiences mark them for life.
There may be an evolutionary explanation for this which ties in which the above graph that represents "most people" as experiencing a drastic fall in life satisfaction past their twenties. Given the conditions under which we evolved into the species we presently are, it would make perfect sense that the vast majority of the species would experience its peak of life at that point in time when most individuals are reproducing. Once you've reproduced, natural selection is through with you and you become genetically invisible to history. Social consequences follow from this genetic invisibility, and among these is likely to be a fall in the status of the individual.

A little about me...
I love sports whether playing or viewing, the outdoors, and watching a good movie. I have always put my career first and have decided its now time to put my personal life first. I have an onry sense of humor--can dish it out as well as accept the return.
About the one I'm looking for...
Im looking for someone to have as a friend and be able to do things and from there see where it goes. A long term relationship is the ultimate goal; but also, wanting to just have people to go out and have fun. I like people with a great sense of humor, people who enjoy doing activities as well as relaxing for a quiet evening, people who want to spend time with other people while enjoying some fun and entertainment.
I'd just like to add...
I love to go to Rockies games, concerts--especially country singers, and need to get back to playing golf and tennis more. I enjoy riding my bike, taking hikes, and enjoying the wonderful weather.

I don't have any real contention with this apartment complex. It's a good price and although somewhat near the "bad" parts of Seattle, it's far enough away to be safe still and it's close to both downtown and capital hill at a fair price. It's been a couple years since I first wrote my review (everything before this sentence) and I still stand by what I said. It's not that bad, yes there are ambulances as someone pointed out, but you can't blame the apartment complex for that since that has nothing to do with them and if you do your research appropriately you would know there are 3 hospitals in the area if not more and one is only 2 blocks away. And in response to William, there was a reason bad was in quotes. In other words it's not that bad, but some people might consider it such. Yes there are some loony homeless people in the area, that's part of the patient population of harborview medical center, and there are a few homeless centers nearby, so I'm letting people know what to expect. Again this is not the fault of the apartment complex, but it's something that is nice to know before you move in. Overall I think this is a good complex, I've lived here over 2 years and really have no complaints.

Now this is pretty fucking awesome, but expensive. Its a single purpose handheld T.V. made by the Qualcomm company.
This device is a slightly bigger than an iPhone, a 3.5 inch screen, it has a battery life of 5 hrs of T.V watching, and uses the FLO TV dedicated multicast network to provide a buffer and download-free experience.
This will cost you a hefty $249.99 (expensive at the moment) not to mention the subcribtion cost, $8.99 p/mo
I find It amusing that something so insignificant as "dropping the space between iPhone3G S" would even be remotely considered as news. iPhone3GS finally.

Huffington Post writes, "A new Kia ad is raising eyebrows—with some even saying that it promotes pedophilia.
The ad, which promotes a dual-zone climate control feature in one of Kia's cars, took home the Silver Press Lion at the prestigious Cannes Lion Awards. But it is controversial, to say the least.
The ad features a teacher lusting after his elementary school-aged student. On one side of the page, she appears as a young girl. On the other side, though, she becomes a scantily clad, buxom teen, seemingly as a product of the teacher's imagination.
It's clearly designed to shock, and is succeeding. The advertising blog Copyranter called it "one of the sleaziest car ads ever," and noted that it doesn't even visualize the benefits of dual climate control very well." READ MORE»
Um, yeah. This is gross.

Well, here's one way to get new equipment. Marcos Baghdatis was down two sets to love against Stanislas Wawrinka. After getting broken in the third game of the third set, he took his frustrations out on his entire bag, smashing four rackets to pieces. I'm sure he'll get fined for racket abuse, but he did go on to win the third set. So, at least there's that...

VIDEO: Brian Fuente Releases New Music Video For "Sidelined"

|THE VOICE Contestant Brian Fuente's Debut EP '1983' to Release Tomorrow, 10/16
October 15, 2012
|Related: Brian Fuente
Nashville singer, songwriter, musician BRIAN FUENTE has released a new music video for "Sidelined," a focus track off his newly released debut solo EP 1983. The video was unveiled November 6 on BRIAN's newly re-launched website, BrianFuente.com. Check out the video below!
"It's truly exciting to release the first music video in support my new solo project," BRIAN shares. "In my opinion, this is more than just an average music video; it's a beautiful motion picture. Up and coming director Derek Pearson really nailed it!"
1983 pays homage to that decade of undeniably addictive pop with a modern twist. Propelled by BRIAN's rich, at times gritty, vocals sung with an abundance of passion and conviction, 1983 is sure to please his ever-growing group of loyal fans--over 4,000 Facebook fans and over 5,000 Twitter followers--while drawing in new fans and further establishing BRIAN's place in music.
In 2007, BRIAN found his way to Nashville hoping to be seen and heard by the industry that mattered most. He embedded himself in the music scene and put together his first Nashville band, Newmatic. The band gained an increasingly loyal audience within the area but BRIAN was determined to show the world what he was all about and in the summer of 2011, he auditioned for the hit TV reality competition "The Voice." His version of Grace Potter's "Paris" earned him a spot on Team Blake (Shelton) and the chance to work alongside Shelton and Kelly Clarkson.

Making Space for the Unknown Future
How can a space lead faculty to think entrepreneurially about what takes place in their classroom? What kinds of classrooms and environments excite faculty to create new learning experiences that are engaging and relevant for their students and themselves? Case studies from Stanford University illustrate how the in-person classroom is evolving beyond the lecture to engage external partners in projects, realize experiential learning, and leverage the flipped classroom, social media and mobile devices. We'll explore how the physical space is more than just a backdrop for classroom activities; the room plays a number of roles to help the faculty move the experience, curriculum and the learning forward. This interactive workshop will challenge participants to grapple with how learning environments are evolving to create novel and optimized experiences for both teachers and learners.


text: The trail starts north of the parking area and snakes up the ridgeline above the Parrish Creek ravine. Clumps of grass and sagebrush are scattered across the hillside. As the trail meanders near the ravine, shrub oaks give some relief from the sun. With the trail giving you a workout, stop in the oaks and enjoy the view into Parrish Creek. The trail leaves Parrish Creek and leads towards Centerville Canyon. Looking down the canyon, you see Centerville, Bountiful and great western views. As planes take off and land in the distance, make your way through the mountain mahogany trees scattered along the canyon. The trail goes around a small peak before entering the saddle, which is flat and filled with trees. Its a great place to view both Parrish Creek and Centerville Canyon together. You have just landed at your destination.

Sugar Lace. Wrote a post about it. Like to read it? Here it goes...
Glad I got that ramble out of the way. Let's move on to the heart-shaped, lace-covered beauty above.
A couple posts ago, I introduced you to this delightfully, delicious Orange Chocolate Mousse Cake. Since then, I've received a number of inquiries about the lace used to decorate the cake. More recently, I posted sugar lace leaves and flowers on Instagram and those garnered even more interest, so I've put together this post, along with a short video on the products I used to create the intricate edible lace.
The product is called Tricot Mix and it, along with the mats, are made by Silikomart. There is a link to Icing Inspirations at the end of the post to, where you will find these products.
I'd like to impress you by saying this requires a high degree of cake decorating skill - the end result certainly gives that impression. But it's as easy as four simple steps - mix, spread, bake, apply. The mats and mix are a little costly, but the results they yield might be worth it to some. I've shown a variety of mats in the second photo above.
I used approximately one-third (100 grams) of the package along with 80 grams of warm water, which yielded enough to make three strips of the Leaves Lace, four of the Baroc and two each of the small Flower and Nature mats. The trick is to salvage as much of the excess, as possible once the cavities are adequately filled.
I added a couple drops of gold Americolor Airbursh liquid to the mixture, as you can see in the photo above right. I was goingfor a vintage finish, but it still looked pretty white in the end. You can add any colour you prefer. I then whisked the mixture on the highest setting using the whisk attachment and my KA mixer. It will form soft peaks and appear the consistency of mayonnaise, when ready. For me, that was one minute of mixing.
Place the mats on cookies trays. Spread the mixture over the mats using an angled spatula. The designs are very intricate, so I found going over a couple times helped to ensure all the little crevices were properly filled. You can then use a bench scraper to remove the excess. I initially used my metal bench scraper, but I would actually advise against it. I see it damaging the mat overtime. I now use my plastic cake smoothers, as shown in the video, purchased from my local hardware store.
Once all the excess is cleaned away, pop them in a 178-degree pre-heated oven, still on the cookie sheets. The smaller designs were ready between 5-10 minutes and larger mats took a little longer - closer to 15 minutes. Now I'm not sure if that has to do with my oven being gas and it being a little humid with the furnace and humidifier blasting in my house. So, be mindful of the conditions in your home when approaching these and adjust your time accordingly.
They will peel away easily from the mat when ready and will be pliable. Over-baked lace will crumble and crack easily. Under-baked will be tacky to the touch and stretch our of shape, if you are indeed able to remove them from the mat.
For this set of cookies, I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the Baroc lace and then applied the cut-outs to the royal icing while it was still somewhat wet. My next post will feature some of the other ways in which I used the lace on these cookies. In the meantime, here is a quick video.
Hopefully my voice didn't across a little too 1-900-ish. I edited and added the voice-over for the video around 2:00AM Saturday morning, shortly after we returned home. And it was done from the comfort of my bed, using only the iMovie iPad app. So if my voice was indeed a little breathy, rest assured that watching the video does not incur any charge. :)
Below are some of the finished cookies, rubbed with a little colour for a vintage feel.
Please note that the product I refer to in this post is prepared differently to SugarVeil. I have used SugarVeil and love it, as well - you may remember my Halloween Witch Cake.
I found this Tricot Mix a little easier to use and a little less temperamental. I also like that I could use the mix immediately and not have to wait overnight, as is the case of SugarVeil. In any case both products produce exceptional edible lace-like designs.
Chrissie from Icing Inspirations, where the products are sold, also has a video showing how to use the mats and mix.
I'll be back on Monday with another muffin treat to help start the week off. Then we'll jump into some Valentine's Day goodies.
See you back here soon!

The pilot's wife stated that the airplane's engine was running rough prior to the flight and that her husband had drained a significant amount of water from the fuel drain. Once he thought the water was drained from the system, he departed. A witness saw the airplane climb to treetop level and enter a left turn as if the pilot was trying to turn back to the airport when the engine lost power. The airplane then made a hard left turn and descended straight down to the ground, resulting in substantial damage to the firewall, fuselage, and both wings. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed water in the fuel line downstream of the fuel valve.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
