Rectal Necrosis
Before I begin. This is a DPS shaco guide. I had too many of you ****s ruin my DPS/critical card master with your constant taunts of "But Mr. Mekmaster! We can deal so much damage with our lich bane and our .6/.4 AP stacks!" Without even realizing that you're taking a dps fighter, making him a mage, then relying on his auto attack to do half the **** for you. So, any of you who think AP shaco is better than DPS, go sit on your thumbs and stay out of this thread. You ruined card master for me, you're not getting the clown.
Alright, so first off before the fight even begins you pick shaco. I don't care if every little ***** on your team is AP or a DPS. If that happens stay behind the casters. They generally stack rod of ages and stuff so they will guaranteed have more health than you. But do not compromise the clown, no matter how many times you get queue dodges.
Now then summoner spells? Here's what's good for shaco:
Flash: Yes flash, they never see it coming. Remember when flash had 1k range? Well now it still does. You can double jump an opponent, you can decieve away from a gank only to flash in the direction they had just ran from, hell you can back door their base if you want to.
Exhaust: If you didn't kill them after you crit, having exhaust is always good... especially against pantheon who probably blocked your decieve.
Ignite: Great for people who think they can survive by using some vampire ****. Nothing says "kick to the face" like critting for 9000 then lighting them on fire.
clairvoyance: Always good to see your enemies.
Skills never to get as shaco:
Heal: "But mekmaster, it keeps me alive", no... shut the hell up. Anybody who needs potions or that heal skill to stay alive obviously can't play their character for ****. Target people who do this and kill them.
Clarity: As a dps shaco you're relying on three skills. Decieve, two shiv, and hallucinate. If you grab clarity, chances are you're playing DPS shaco wrong.
teleport: You're already flashing everywhere and with decent boots can run faster than sonic the hedgehog on meth, you'll be fine without it.
Rally: Huh? You're standing around long enough for rally to do anything for you? Yeah, ok... go kill yourself then play malphite.
Runes for shaco:
We're walking a fine line here. You more or less get to decide "Hmm, do I want to crit for 9000, or do I want to crit for 500 a lot?" Back when it was still socially acceptable to play a critmaster, I used to have a 20% crit chance from my runes. As shaco I'm stacking Crit damage runes to see how that works out seeing as the burst skill I'm using will crit for me naturally. Do not get Magic penetration, mana regen per second, or health regen per second. If you're getting any of those three, you probably need to go kill yourself.
Item build for shaco: In exact Items, this is what you should buy with shaco.
Sword of the Occult
Boots of mobility
Infinity edge
Phantom dancer
Blood thirster
black cleaver/frozen mallet
"Umm, mr shaco player dude? I'm sure you're really good and all... but why so much damage? Why not get a sheen or a lich bane, or a trinity force. it'll do a ton of damage!" Because I hate sheen. I have a deep rooted hatred for sheen, lich bane, and occasionally trinity force. I have never used them successfully. Maybe because I suck, but that's unlikely. If you want you can replace the black cleaver/frozen mallet with a sheen, but that's you and not me. If you're using a sheen and are secure with it and your shaco build, then why are you reading this guide?
Trinity force/sheen/lich banez (which is an AP item so you shouldn't be touching it anyway) all have one thing in common: They eat up an item slot. This item slot now has a sheen which won't always deliver because you might have taken too long, a trinity force that does a lot of things but nothing right, or a lich bane that suggests you're an AP shaco.
Sword of the occult for shaco is what mejai's is for every mage. An item that gets better the longer the match goes on. Its why you want it first. Then the mobility is because you're going to be ganking, not fighting. Infinity edge stacks nicely with decieve and phantom dancer will allow you to dodge while upping your movement and crit chance for when you want to farm a lane with your best friend (your best friend is the clone). The blood thirster is basically your HP item. You can only have 1.8k hit points, but when you're critting for 950 damage and every single last crit is giving you 25% of your HP back, you don't need to worry (I shouldn't even need to explain black cleaver).
"But mr, Cardmaster/shaco bad ass sir... what if I get targetted by more than one hero?" You're playing shaco wrong. Shaco and DPS/AD crit master share one thing in common: They aim for one hero and kill them dead. Shaco WILL NOT team fight, and if he does its actually his clone.
Skills: **** jack in the box. Jack in the box serves one purpose, fear your enemies. Do not rely on it for damage. The only time a shaco should need jack in the boxes is when he puts 6 of them in a bush and waits for an MFing cho'gath to walk by so he can attempt to kill him.
"But mr. Dude who is sooo much better and cooler than me, JBX can do so much damage if you stack it right." No, suck an AP card master's **** and go play fiddlesticks. Here is your skills:
Two Shiv
Two Shiv
Two shiv
Two shiv
Two shiv
JBX *sighs*
I was once told shaco had a skill before he had jack in the box. I have no idea what that skill is, but I want it back. I would almost take anything over jack in the box, even taric's useless little razzle dazzle Jem ****. Hell, I'd even take Ashe's gold farm over Jack in the box. Jack in the box will not do damage when you're a DPS shaco, you will be doing the damage! Plus, you're never staying in one spot long enough to make the jack in the box work.
"But mr. Son of Locke, Jack in the box makes great scout items." Riiiiiiight. A jack in the box lasts 90 seconds. This means if you're the one who has to drop the stuff in front of baron to scout for the enemy team, you're going to be getting a lot of cardio because you are going to be spamming JBX.
Fight, begin!
You have decieve, yes? You also have long sword, yes? Good. It honestly doesn't matter who shaco lanes with, shaco will get first blood. Its nice to have a stun character or a tank, but it is not demanded. You're shaco, you will not be taking ANY damage. You will be too busy spamming decieve and throwing daggers at enemies to care about auto-attacking. You also won't be taking any damage, so tough **** to whoever is laning with you.
"Zeus? I see two problems with what you're doing. 1, what about your team-mate? Why do they take all the damage? Isn't this a team effort? Also, you seem to be spamming skills, are you suuuuuure we're not buying any potions?" Good questions. For one, tough **** for your team-mate. Go read shaco's biography. Does it say anywhere in there he has friends or even likes people? I'm pretty sure shaco lost all hope he had for other people the second the first card master had it in him to spam "/joke" when laning with him. As for the potions? If you can't properly manage your mana and hit points without a potion then you probably shouldn't be playing shaco.
"But potions are so cheap!" How many times have you sat in base and waited for 12 seconds while your teammate got raped in bottom lane so you could buy your next item? Sure, 70 gold isn't a lot. Hell, you couldn't bribe me with 70 gold IRL to play taric for one round. But you will constantly be missing 70 gold from that point on because you bought a one use consumable. Imagine if that 70 gold went to blood thirster. Look at it like this:
ROXXXY the new best *** doll ever : $7k-9k
Cost of a prostitute to satisfy your manly man desires for 4 hours: roughly 900 dollars (I learned this from grand theft auto and cable).
If you just keep it in your pants for four months, the benefit will ultimately be *** for as long as you want, whenever you want, no matter what (not to mention the doll will be of higher quality than almost any prostitute). Same rule applies with potions.
One HP potion: 200 health, 35 cash.
blood thirster: unlimitted HP return and 3200 (or something). You can buy 91 potions with 3200 cash. But all those potions are doing is giving you 200 health over 20 seconds.
Yeah, I just used a *** doll to justify my hatred for potions and if you look closely enough you'll notice my logic is horribly flawed. But it doesn't matter. Potions are for people who want to take damage, shaco does not want to take damage.
Mid/late game. After the early laning disperses (anywhere from level 6-12) shaco will do the same thing until the last minute (yes minute) of the game.
You're goal is to find heroes who are alone and kill them. You will eat heroes alive, feed your occult blade, and you will be awesome. Run into the jungles, find that ashe who's snagging lizard buff to add insult to injury, kill that annie who is pushing her lane by herself and just wasted tibbers stun on some creeps, two shiv taric in the eye while /alling "learn to play a real champion!". Punch an AP card master in the face, hallucinate to dodge his wild/gold card burst and eat him alive. You are a 1v1 hero. You will not fight fairly, but you will kill and feel good about it.
Instincts will kick in during 1v1, team fights are.... special.
Shaco in a team fight basically looks like this "Alright mr. clone, go out there and kill ****." So you're team will technically still have five people fighting. Don't worry, the build I've given you will make auto attacking awesome.
Now, as the team fight goes on, one of their casters will get scared, this is your time to strike. The caster will make like a flatulant gentleman at a dinner party and quietly excuse himself and you will make like the ****** bag best friend who will keep him around long enough for him to feel like an idiot as he farts in his fiancee's face. He runs away, and you decieve after him so no one notices you, stab him in the spine, and feed your sword of the occult. Playing shaco does not take a rocket scientist.
Running away: Remember those JBXs? Well if you do **** up (chances are if you screwed up you tried to attack a hero who was standing by a pantheon or alistar) you run for a bush, drop that JBX in the bush and keep running till you can decieve over a wall. You're shaco, next to card master and the MFing cho'gath, you SHOULD be the hardest thing to kill in the **** game. If you don't feel confident, get a flash and follow my "jump one way, then flash back the other way" strategy. They never see it coming.
Last minute of the game: I call it this because this is your minute to shine. Their inhibs are alive but their nexus turrets are down, they're pushing your team hard. Your teammates are falling like flies and they're going for victory push. What do you do? Back door like the ******* you are.
"Woah, wait, what?!?! Back dooring is a noob strategy! Only **** back door." Hey, look, I just scored a win and 150 IP. You can ***** about honor all you want, at the end of the day someone is going to be smart enough to back door. Fights are not won honorably so you can throw that **** out of the window and stop playing Yi you kung-fu hyped adrenaline monkey. You wanna fight honorably? Tell that to the ryze who tower dives you after you held off the two people who were laning against you with just a sliver of your health.
You decieve, bash their nexus, and with the build I've given you take it out before they realize what's going on and spam B. Only exception is if a cardmaster gets smart and gates you, and trust me: Card master's who have blown their ult/gate won't be able to stop you.
Game's over, you won and feel good because you didn't spam JBX like a little nooblet.

*Waiting to hear if you go AD or AS before I pounce*
so i'll assume you meant this
Shaco: buy sword of the occult, infinity edge, crit damage runes, and then Mash Q, then lol as you crit for over 9000!
SYN Phrost
1) Get a full page of crit damage runes
2) Pick Shaco
3) Get ignite and exaust
4) Buy an elixir and some pots
5) Find a squishy that doesnt have flash.
Decieve, ignite, exaust, open with your crit, theyll die in 1-2 melee attacks.
Always a guaranteed first blood.
The decieve crit should be for around 220 if you're doing it right.
By the way, is everyone doing the "But Mr. *******" Thing now, or is it just me?
Also: Viva la AP.
That is all.

A Japanese restaurant in London with French styling and décor, British retro pop on the piano and – most importantly – heavenly food
We love anything quirky, cool or 'quality' – so we couldn't resist telling you about our ever-so-slightly camp new discovery, Sushi des Artistes.
At first glance, this London restaurant is a miss-match; French styling, Japanese food, retro pop played live by a pianist. But the combination turns out to be strangely irresistible – and the food utterly delicious.
Distractions and styling aside (I know, we love distractions and styling) the food is the star.
London is packed with some of the world's most famous sites but don't overlook its secrets
Few cities have so many globally famous icons as London. I was at an event at the top of Tower Bridge on Wednesday (21 March) and was told the bridge is one of the world's top 10 most recognizable landmarks. Big Ben (or St Stephen's Clock Tower for pedants) is also on the list.
But London is also a city of hidden gems. The nooks and crannies tucked away down secret medieval alleyways, overlooked by the throngs of commuters who pass them every day.

my final lab task is cropping parts from an image, inserting the cropped image to original back, rotating, and resizing it.We have the image as a 2D array in a txt file, and matlab converts the text files to images/image files to txts, so we can see our results.With my code when I crop a square(
image.extract_sub_image(0,0,100,100);), no problems but it inserts the cropped image to the opposite coordinates I dont know why.Also when I crop a rectangle(
image.extract_sub_image(0,0,100,50);) the program crashes.Also dont know why :(
PS:Read, write, get_dimensions functions are given by the prof.They are constant, and the header file is also given by the prof,
**p2matr2D was his idea and I cant change it.
My code : http://codepad.org/F0mfR7dN
goldhill.txt file : http://codepad.org/jfbeKLII
If I am not mistaken according to x,y coordinate system, x should be columns and y should be rows, and this is what I mean for opposite insertion : http://i.imgur.com/wgYsj.png , green box is what I want, red box is what comes out ...
The first 2 values in the text file determine the image dimensions, thats how the prof arranged his matlab script and C++ code.
I would be glad for your tips and comments to solve the problems.I know the code is long but I think I needed to paste everything in order to explain what Im facing. The problem should be in CCTOR, =op, extract or insert functions.

Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)
Militant Website, via Associated Press
Sunni militants led by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, declared a caliphate that stretches across eastern Syria and much of northern and western Iraq. It also demanded that all Muslims swear allegiance to its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
ISIS, which calls itself Islamic State, has seized the world's attention — most recently with the beheading of American journalists James Foley and Steven J. Sotloff – and increased pressure on President Obama to respond.
Its brutal tactics alienated it from the Syrian rebel movement, and it was officially disowned by Al Qaeda in February. For the moment, Al Qaeda has lost ground, but the question remains: Will this new group endure?

It's a warning to retailers not yet in mobile commerce.
The research firm International Data Corporation just issued its "Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker" report, and one big statistic stands out: For the first time, manufacturers shipped more smartphones to merchants than PCs.
Vendors shipped a total of 100.9 million smartphones during the fourth quarter of 2010, up 87.2% from the 53.9 million smartphones shipped during Q4 2009. For the full year, vendors shipped a total of 302.6 million smartphones worldwide, up 74.4% from the 173.5 million smartphones shipped in 2009.
Vendors shipped a total of 92.1 million PCs during the fourth quarter of 2010 (the largest number ever), up a mere 2.7% from Q4 2009. Total shipments for 2010 reached 346.2 million, an increase of 13.6%. So smartphones topped PCs in the fourth quarter of 2010, but PCs had the edge for the year.
But IDC expects further gains for the smartphone market in 2011. "The high end of the market has been important to help grow the smartphone market in recent years," notes Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst on IDC's mobile phone technology and trends team. "IDC expects vendors to provide more mid-range and low-end smartphones at lower prices to reach the mass market. In the same manner, even high-end devices will become available at lower prices. This will result in greater competition and more selection for users."
More and more consumers newly armed with smartphones are using the mobile web and apps, with the expectation that their favorite retailers will have an experience optimized for their smartphones. The smartphone will soon be the dominant computing device. And watch those tablet computer sales figures (20% of U.S. consumers will own tablets by 2014, Harris Interactive says). Retailers are going to see greatly increased traffic from smartphones and tablets in the years ahead, and the smart merchants will get out there now with at least an m-commerce site and gain benefits and make mistakes, and learn from those mistakes.
Research giant The Nielsen Co. says by the end of this year half of all mobile phones in use will be smartphones. The smartphone revolution is here. Prepare yourself.

How Spirituality Helps to Manage Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
This guest article from YourTango was written by Michelle Maliniak.
As a mental health professional who also has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after spending over 22 years in the fire service, I have tried many "alternative" methods to treat my own anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Alternative treatment methods I've tried include acupuncture, meditation, herbal remedies, hot yoga and massage, just to name a few.
I still use some of these methods, along with daily exercise, healthy diet, positive social support, and a low dose of an antidepressant, to manage my PTSD.
Here, I'm going to relate my experience with the two methods I have found particularly helpful: bibliotherapy (reading!) and spiritual healing.

Top 10 Free Mental Health Apps

The Disturbing Discrepancy & Double Standard Between Mental Illness & Other Health Concerns
It would seem that the subject of mental illness has, at long last, captured the attention of the American public. Why, you may ask, is this so?
Perhaps it is the fact that when mind-boggling mass murders occur in such ordinary towns as Newtown, Conn. or Aurora, Colo., we are inundated with stories about the suspected mental state of the perpetrators.
Although the aforementioned individuals may suffer, or may have suffered, from any number of debilitating mental illnesses, the vast majority of the mentally ill are not violent. Unfortunately, their stories, and their daily struggles merely to survive, rarely make the 6 o'clock news.
Have Trauma, Will Hover at the Beach
'Vacation' is a funny word for a single mother of young children.
Before having children, the term 'vacation' would invoke a feeling of relaxation, but it doesn't mean what it used to mean.
Now it means I will move my exhausted self and young children to a different place, so I can do the same activities with the same unrealistic schedule. Nonetheless, we go to the beach every year.
I pick the beach because it is the least painful of the options. I live within a few hours of numerous beaches so there are no long trips or plane tickets. I don't have to drag them (and more importantly their stuff) all over a city while trying to keep their attention at tourist attractions that may or may not be age-appropriate. And to be fair, they love the beach. They start to jump up and down the minute they see the ocean and the sand.
I know this will sound un-American, but I don't like the beach.
Have Trauma, Will Hover: The Dentist
We went to the dentist yesterday. This wasn't the kind of dentist appointment with a cleaning and a sticker. This was the kind of dentist appointment with sedatives and drills.
Unfortunately, my daughter was blessed with my tooth genes, and that means she will be forever traumatized by the world of floss and fluoride. As a parent, there is nothing worse than knowingly putting your child in a position where she will feel pain, and not having a choice.
Until now, I have always been in the room when a doctor was with my children. It never occurred to me there would be another alternative.
Grieving My Lost Childhood
I have been in recovery for a while now. Most days, I feel pretty good. Most days, I can keep my anxiety from paralyzing me. Most days, I function well.
However, I don't have to look far to see my pain. All I have to do is think about my parents.
Last night, I was watching a TV show, and a woman was grieving the loss of her mother to cancer. It had been about nine months since her death, but since the woman was planning her wedding, she was particularly upset. I could feel the intolerance building up inside of me. I may have even rolled my eyes.
I thought to myself, "at least you had a mother." This doesn't happen every time. My compassion has come a long way. But last night, the feelings were there.
5 Steps to Improve Sleep & Emotional Vulnerability
Most of us don't need science to tell us that sleep and emotion are closely linked. Spend a couple nights with interrupted sleep or talk to any parent of a newborn and the connection is quite clear.
The connection appears not just in everyday life. In certain physical and mental disorders sleep disturbance and emotion dysregulation are hallmark symptoms. Symptoms of one rare disorder, cataplexy, which often co-occurs with the sleep disorder, narcolepsy for example, include sudden muscle weakness when a person experiences strong emotion, such as anger or fear, or exhilaration.
Lack of adequate sleep also is commonly linked with emotional or psychological problems. Examples include depression and PTSD, while sleep disturbances combined with emotional reactivity are key dimensions of bipolar disorder.
And even when lack of sleep isn't connected to rare disorders or affective psychological problems, it is linked to increased emotionality.
I'm a Helicopter Parent: Have Trauma, Will Hover
Parenting is hard. Single parenting is extremely difficult. Single parenting with family-based trauma is borderline impossible.
There are so many times I have wanted to stop a parenting moment in mid-stream, so I could research possible approaches on the Internet. I don't know what I would have done without the countless books, articles and Google searches that have taught me how to be a parent.
I have come a long way in the past seven years. I'm much more patient. I am willing to apologize and admit when I am wrong (sometimes). I don't spank. I yell significantly less. My children are not exposed to my dangerous biological family. They live a safe life.
So safe that it might be too safe.
Yes, I am one of those helicopter parents.
What are Some of the Physiological Manifestations of PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a result of severe trauma. The trauma experienced is usually one that has threatened a person's safety. PTSD is seen in people returning from fighting in a war, or people who have been victims of violence or a natural disaster.
It's normal to feel traumatized by significant life events such as surviving a severe car accident. It becomes pathological when the feelings of trauma, anxiety, panic, or sadness don't fade with time. People who experience PTSD may feel like they are forever changed and suffer constant panic attacks, loss of sleep and social isolation.
Trauma and prolonged stress inevitably has a negative impact on overall health. PTSD has been linked to more physician visits in veteran populations.
Unraveling the Secrets of Our Mysterious Brain
There are many big moments in scientific discovery. Humans have explored our world and learned incredible things. We've discovered a giant asteroid belt circling a star 25 light-years from earth. We determined that disease comes from microorganisms.
We've explored the structure of an atom. And we can see bones inside our bodies as well as bombs inside suitcases.
Yet the human brain still remains very much a mystery. Recent advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have led to great gains in our understanding of the brain and how it functions.
But even so, scientists have not yet discovered all the types of cells that make up the brain and don't yet know how they all function together.
Brain Chemistry Altered by Early Life Experience, Part 1
There was a fascinating article that recently showed up on NBC News.com on June 2. It dealt with the overarching concept of resiliency possibly being rooted in childhood, and featured some survivor stories of recent tragedies of natural disasters. It presented that some people did well; others less so.
The article nicely brought a mental health issue with the potential to affect us all one step closer to the general public. As well, though, it pointed toward something fascinating — that in terms of causalities of mental health and illness, there is "nature and nurture" and then there is something else.
"Nature" widely has been understood to be our genetics; "nurture" our early life experiences. Human behavior has been catchphrased as shaped by these two for centuries.
But then there is brain chemistry. The genetics category, you say? Not so fast. Apparently it can be altered by early formative experience.
How Trauma Can Affect Your Body & Mind
As I write this, our thoughts are with those in Boston who were affected by the bombings at the 2013 Boston Marathon.
In my 20 years living in the Boston area, I cheered on the runners on many occasions and now, even from far way, these events feel close to home.
Experiencing trauma can have a dramatic effect on our bodies and our minds. And although it's a different experience to witness a trauma on television, it still can affect us.
When you perceive a threat, the body activates the stress response. The stress response occurs in both your body and brain.
The body's response to acute stress is a preparation for emergency. Adrenaline and other hormones are released. The body shuts down processes associated with long-term care. When under immediate threat, digestion, reproduction, cell repair and other body tasks related to long-term functioning are unimportant.

I have had lots of arcteryx products and some last forever (like a Fission AR jacket from 2002 that has all stitching and zippers intact). These pants fit well, they are comfortable, pockets are mostly well placed - but this thing is not durable at all. After wearing them for four months, there is a see through hole where the fabric bunches up in the seat.
Just ordered my second set of these. The first set I've been wearing for about 3 years and are showing some wear. Never had a rip or hole, and only minor repairs along the way(sow a new button on once in a while). Love these pants!
I've had my pair for a couple years now, and they are only just falling apart. That may not sound like a long time, but I have pretty much lived in these pants. At first I only used them for looking good, (they look so classy) but after a couple weeks I realized that I never wanted to take them off. From then on they have done everything I do which includes a good bit of climbing, hiking, biking, and 4 months of working on a construction site. The construction ended up doing in the knees and heels, but these pants help up for much longer then I expected them to. They don't feel very tough when you get them, but they take a massive amount of abuse.
This is my second pair of Arcteryx Spotter Pants I'm getting. My first one, I wore it through to the point you could see my boxers. The legs also were worn out so badly, they were pretty much shorts. That's how much I liked them. As long as the bird logo was visible I kept wearing them until I was cited by the cops for indecency, because they could see my ass hanging out. Now with these new pair, no more people staring at my ass and laughing. The pockets on the side of the legs, at first, seemed a bit oddly positioned, but if you are bouldering in these pants, they make sense. I put my brush and medical tape in those pockets. They aren't in the way.

- " A travellers paradise. Culturally significant. Meet with other travellers at the bar, share experiences. Easy access to the metro, though slightly out from the center of the city - you will be fine if you figure out the metro. The bathrooms were average, so were the loos. Beer at the bar was slightly over-priced. What you get for 8Y outside was 35Y inside! That's posh club rates - but nothing stops you from buying a few beers and drinking in your room. "

- " Great clean and modern hostel. All necessary facilities are at hand, however, everything 'extra' costs money. For example, to use the washing machines you have to buy a 20yuan token which is ten times as much as in my student dorms. Also, wifi was not available in my room. The staff speaks English and are very helpful, there are several tours available in case you want to get out of the city. Would definitely recommend staying here! "
- 24 Jun 2014 Björn Netherlands
- " The only down-sided to this place was the staff. The tours/tourism desk was not helpful, and they would not book a tour without at least three people on it- which is a down-side for a solo traveler. They were kind, and helpful about anything dealing with the hostel itself (rooms, laundry), but trying to gain travel information was difficult. Great place for those who are keen to figure it out on their own. "

The New Criticism emerged in American universities in the 1930s and '40s. Yale University was one of the hotbeds of the New Criticism. The point of departure of New Criticism was its rejection of traditional literary theory as well as the desire to make literary theory scientific. Traditional literary theory had been the dominate trend for several hundred years. The traditional method for textual interpretation emphasized extra-textural elements such as the author's biography and psychology, historical circumstances and so forth. New Criticism, on the other hand, treats a text as a closed object that is independent of historical context. The text is treated as a self-referential, autonomous object. A close and detailed reading of the text, and the literary devices used in the text, unfolds the meaning of the text. Some of the important New Criticism theorists include T.S. Eliot, I.A. Richards and Cleanth Brooks.
What Are the Theories of Literary Criticism?
Literary theory has ancient roots. Plato and Aristotle were both interested in the techniques for interpreting a literary text. The roots of the modern idea of literary theory date back to the late 19th century. The original motivation was to develop a method for interpreting scriptural texts that were rapidly loosing their authority in the new scientific age. This new method was labeled "hermeneutics" which literally means a theory of interpretation. The hermeneutic method was eventually applied to other texts: legal documents, historical documents and literature. Literary theory from the 20th century developed along a number of different paths.
Traditional Theory and the New Criticism
Marxism and Critical Theory
Marxist-inspired literary theory adopted a different approach than the New Criticism. The literary text is a cultural product, and as such, it is wrapped up in the relationship between economic and cultural production. The early 20th century Hungarian literary critic Georg Lukacs represented a turning point in Marxist literary criticism. His "Theory of the Novel" and "History and Class Consciousness" laid the foundation for 20th century Marxist literary criticism. He was a major influence on the critical theory of Frankfurt School theorists Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno. His influence also extends to contemporary Marxists theorists such as Raymond Williams, Frederic Jameson and Terry Eagelton.There are important differences between all of these thinkers but they share the idea that the form and content of a literary text is a cultural product that mirrors the social, political and economic environment which produced it. Literary criticism is a process of decoding truths about society that are hidden in the text. A variation of Marxist literary criticism was the "Realism" approach forced upon authors in the Soviet Union during the 1920s and '30s.
Russian Formalism and the Prague Lingustic Circle
Formalism was a movement in linguistics and literary theory that began in the Soviet Union in the 1920s but the movement was suppressed by the authorities. The major theorists of the movement relocated to Prague and the Prague Linguistic Circle developed the major themes and tenets of Formalism. The two major theorists were Roman Jacobson and Jan Mularovsky. Formalism distinguishes between two types of language, ordinary language and poetic language. Literature is an example of poetic language. The primary function of ordinary language is communication and information. Poetical language, on the other hand, is self-referential. The formalists were interested in the internal relationships between linguistic signs.
Structuralism and Post-Structuralism
Structuralism and Post-Structuralism were two of the dominant intellectual trends of the 20th century. Their scope extended beyond literary theory to include all the social sciences as well as philosophy. The common core between literature, social science and philosophy is language. The major figures who laid the foundation for structuralism were the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure and the French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss. Meaning, in a linguistic text or the kinship relationship of a particular culture, is constructed by the a binary structure which is linguistic in nature. Saussure's theory of signs, or semiotics, shows the linguistic structure is divided into the relationship between the signifier and the signified. Post-Structuralism, also referred to as Deconstruction, developed as reaction to Structuralism. Post-Structuralists accept many of the same tenets but the perform Marxist-like critique of the Signifier/Signified relationship. Jacques Derrida is the most well-known proponent of this tradition. Derrida's main point is that the Signifier/ Signified relationship is always one of domination and power. Literary theorists adopt this approach to analyze and expose hidden meaning and presuppositions in literature and literary texts. Deconstruction is a major influence on Feminist and Post-Colonial literary theory.

Paper-Bag Turkey
This simple, popcorn-filled paper-bag turkey from One Charming Party crafter Sara Westbrook is a perfect centerpiece for a children's Thanksgiving table. If the popcorn is buttered or cooked in oil, use plastic bags or wax paper to line the paper bags.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- Sheet of standard printer paper
- Scissors
- Fringe scissors (optional)
- Two small brown paper lunch bags
- Popcorn
- Hot-glue gun and hot-glue sticks
- Large brown paper shopping bag
- Plastic bags or wax paper for lining (optional)
- Parsley (optional)
- Fruit (optional)
- Corn-on-the-Cob Favor (optional)
Step 1
To make the frills, cut a sheet of standard printer paper in half, lengthwise. Fold each half in half, lengthwise. Make small cuts with scissors or fringe scissors on folded edges to create loops.
Step 2
To make the drumsticks, put your fist in each of the corners of a small paper bag and use your other flat hand to mold and round the edges. Fill bag 2/3 of the way to the top with popcorn. Gather the opening of the bag and twist tightly. Hot-glue the beginning of the length of frill and wrap it around the twisted part of the lunch bag; hot-glue the end of the frill to hold in place. Repeat to make a second drumstick.
Step 3
For the turkey body, round the corners of a large paper shopping bag. Fill the bag with popcorn. Fold the sides of the bag in, and tuck the bottom edge under, using hot glue to secure the edge closed.Tip: If you can't find a large plain brown bag, carefully turn a printed bag inside out.
Step 4
Use hot glue to attach drumsticks to sides of turkey body. Place on platter and garnish with parsley, fruit, and corn-on-the-cob favors, if desired.

In a time when technology can reveal the darkest of secrets, there's only one place to hide a crime of passion - in the heart. . . The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead . . .to investigate every scandalous rumor . . .to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

Villarreal boss Miguel Ángel Lotina believes his players are mentally ready for Sunday's vital clash with Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín.
The Yellow Submarine are currently in 17th place, four points above the relegation zone and three points behind Pepe Mel's Béticos, and Lotina has asked his charges to forget the other teams down near the bottom and concentrate on their own performance.
"We have to think about winning ourselves and not worry excessively about other teams," insisted the experienced Lotina. "I'm not going to set targets because the story changes every Sunday. The most important game right now is Betis and we will try to take all three points.
"Mentally we are ready to play well and win what is an important match, the same as all the others that are left," he continued. "Betis are very strong up front, although they played more on the counter-attack against Málaga."
Lotina will be boosted by the news that he will have Brazilian striker Nilmar back after he missed last week's 0-0 home draw with Espanyol due to a leg injury, as well as defender José Catalá who has recovered from a knee problem. The bad news is that Colombian defender Cristián Zapata will miss the game through suspension.
"Nilmar has tremendous ability and the team needs his talent," said Lotina. "He is very important to us and I have every confidence in him. We are hoping his return will give us a permanent lift."
The list of 19 players selected for the trip to Andalusia is: Diego López, César, Gonzalo, Musacchio, Catalá, Mario, Joan Oriol, Ángel, Marchena, Bruno, Marcos Senna, Borja Valero, De Guzmán, Hernán Pérez, Cani, Camuñas, Marco Ruben, Nilmar and Martinuccio.

US and other auto manufacturers banking on increased car sales in China for 2012 have three reasons to be concerned.
Blistering growth in Chinese auto sales is expected to plunge
China is taking efforts to dampen foreign investment in autos
Trade wars
The Wall Street Journal reports
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is continuing its push to become the world's most popular tech brand. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have propelled sales of its smartphone line to a historic record. Analysts expect Apple will announce shipments of some 60 million iPhones on its fourth-quarter earnings call, due January 27.
Apple has been steadily building its presence in South Korea, increasing its market share there from 15% to 33%, powered by a strong surge in demand for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Courtesy to Dr. Sam Subramanian from www.alphaprofit.com, we are glad to present an in-depth look into the auto shares and an analysis of their current investment potential. As with the first investment guest feature, we aim to enrich our blog with a more professional rather than theoretical market view.
Ways to Keep Winning in the Auto Group
Shares in the auto industry have been among the leading performers over the past year, with the Dow Jones US Automobiles & Parts Index advancing 140%.Given the massive run-up in auto equities, is there money still to be made in these stocks?I believe the answer is yes.
Due to the move toward luxury products slows noticeably, six out of 10 foreign brands in China are losing market share to their domestic rivals.
According to new research from Creative Auto Enrolment a mere 15 per cent of businesses who have to comply with the legislation in the next 12 months say that they feel well qualified to manage auto enrolment preparations. This leaves thousands of businesses at risk of crippling fines which can hit £2,500 per day.
Major auto makers are gathering in Detroit for the North American International Auto Show. For Detroit's restructured auto makers, one challenge will be to avoid repeating a pattern of boom and bust that's plagued the U.S.
Major auto makers are gathering in Detroit for the North American International Auto Show. For Detroit's restructured auto makers, one challenge will be to avoid repeating a pattern of boom and bust that's plagued the U.S. car business since the early 1980s.
Auto parts maker Magna International Inc (MG.TO) (MGA.N) reported a 12.5% rise in profit on strong performance in its North American business, and raised its full-year sales forecast.
The fortunes of auto parts makers are tightly tied to the Detroit Three and the health of the U.S. vehicle market. The steady recovery by Ford Motor Co (F.N), General Motors Co (GM.N) and Fiat SpA's Chrysler (FIA.MI) from their recession-induced slump bode well for Canadian auto parts makers.
Foreign companies are losing market share in China across a broad range of industries because of discriminatory treatment by the government and regulators, according to the European Chamber of Commerce in China

March 29, Meadow Parking Lot
On Sunday, March 29, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Meadow Parking Lot when we run the Meadow Dry Loop. This approximately six-mile course follows much of the Leatherman's Loop but nixes the water crossings and mud flats. What's left? Still a challenging and fun run and while I call this the "dry loop," I can't guarantee you will finish the run with your feet dry. The warm temperatures and rain have signaled the end of ice and snow and the beginning of mud and water. Those looking to do some extra miles can arrive at 7:00 for a 3 to 4 mile loop.
And don't miss our Saturday dinner at Jewel of Himalaya. Just let us know if you're coming by Friday night so we can get a head count.
Just four weeks before the Leatherman's Loop. Time to get out there and train. Hope to see you out there this weekend.

Avoid Off-Season Burnout, Mountain Bikers
Below I'll address two things that seem to plague many MTB'ers in the off-season: 1) what I call "gym-rat burnout". And, 2) body weight management.
The following is purposely not very specific or in-depth, but more of something to think about and address on your own. This is mainly because we all have different goals and aspirations, time crunches, athletic endeavors, etc, outside of biking (which is my area of expertise)
First, I'll address "gym-rat burnout":
We ride bikes because riding is fun. Even if we take it extremely seriously, even if we make money doing it, we still do it because it's enjoyable. We get outside.
Something else that many of us need to deal with in the off-season is weight. And I'm no talking about shaving grams off your bike! The off-season is the time to make adjustments in body weight, or, at the very least, keep weight gain (or loss, for some people) under control.
So, a little advice on two things that most of us wrestle with during the off-season…
Good luck!!!
Mountain Bikes = Passion, Adventure and Challenge!
Here's to the passionate ones! Those of you like Jackie and Dante Harmony who gladly live out of a van and occasional hotel room for half the year so you can challenge yourself and chase you dreams of World Cup glory. Whether you are a surfer chasing good swells around the world, a snowboarder living on ramen noodles and caffeine as you chase your dream of making the US Team, a climber living down by the river in your Subaru wagon so you can wake up and scale a tougher wall or a parent (also a lawyer/ and volunteer soccer coach) who still sleeps in a tent on non-soccer weekends so you can ride one more day in Moab you are a friend of mine.
Life is so much better with passion and challenge than simply trying to get by. We (mountain bikers) are fortunate to have found something that we love so much that we will give up the "necessities" that so many people can't do without to chase our passion. Next to spending quality time with my family and loved ones the happiest, most rewarding and most fun times of my life have been spent out there, often on the edge, not in front of a TV set.
The "Pain Cave" MTB Training
While most of the articles that I write for this site are aimed at the average rider – probably a recreational rider or beginner or novice racer – this one is intended more for a higher level, competitive athlete. But even if you're a Newbie, hopefully the following will show that in order to "succeed", especially at the higher levels of riding, it takes more then just raw fitness and more then just being extremely skilled; it takes becoming a "whole" or "complete" rider, and obviously the mental aspect plays a very important role in this.
The closer I can get to simulating the riding experience, going to the Pain Cave and still getting the job done (and, off the bike, so that I will still be hungry when the season begins), the more prepared I will be to deal with that type of stress, on the bike, when its time to do so.
So, in closing, don't let yourself slip! Stay strong and stay sharp. Be creative, intelligent, and honest with your off-season training and you'll have fun and still benefit immensely on the bike in the spring.

I recently saw a David Garrett concert on TV. I was not familiar with him and just happened to switch the channel and lucked out! I was thrilled to hear that he was appearing in San Jose, and even more thrilled to see that tickets were offered on Goldstar. The concert was fantastic and the new (old) City National Civic Theater is one of my favorite theaters.
