Information about Yogyakarta
The Javanese city of Yogyakarta is a place in which many cultures have mixed over the years, including Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and travellers from Europe. All have left their mark, contributing to the tapestry of the city. As Yogyakarta is so rich in history, it contains many fascinating historical sites. Ratu Boko Palace is believed to date from the eighth century AD, although its actual history is obscure and steeped in local legend. It is named after the folkloric king Prabu Boko, and the remains of the palace contain references to Hinduism and Buddhism. Atop Imogiri Hill lies the Mataram Kingdom's royal graveyard, which was commissioned by Sultan Agung in 1632; today the Sultan is probably the most famous resident of the graveyard. Any visitor to the site must follow a strict dress code, so it is worth doing some research and coming prepared if you choose to see this unique site first hand. More up-to-date destinations in Yogyakarta include Jalan Malioboro, a street noted for its vast array of shops which make it a popular area with tourists. Visitors with children may wish to visit the Kids Fun Park, which contains a range of rides and other amusements. And finally, for a place in which past and present overlap, there is the Ullen Sentalu museum.

G.I. Joe Retaliation (2013) Cinema Review
Emboldened by the success with transporting the series of Transformers toys and cartoons into a fully fledged movie franchise, Hasbro extended their reach with G.I. Joe and Battleship flicks, the former which was trashed by critics but modestly financially successful, the former which was shunned by all. Still, Paramount must have thought there was enough of a heartbeat in G.I. Joe to continue with a second outing. Sadly, if it were a dog, it would have been put down long ago.
Following on from the events of its predecessor, Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey) has been captured by the Joes and encased in a watery solitary confinement tube, however Zartan (Arnold Vosloo) has successfully infiltrated the White House, posing as a double of the United States of America whilst the real President (Jonathan Pryce) is kept hostage. When the Joes are framed for the theft of nuclear weapons and subsequently wiped out by order of Zartan, the survivors, including Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) must band together with former foes in order to foil plans for worldwide destruction.
Originally planned for a (U.S.) summer 2012 release, Paramount Pictures pulled the film just weeks before release and delayed it for nine months, in a move that many pundits proclaimed was due to terrible audience reaction and to beef up the role of heart throb Channing Tatum. However, the real reason was to post-convert the film to 3D and give the film a little more breathing room in a crowded marketplace. The move seems to have paid off for the studio (I hear they've already greenlit a third movie), but the film whether in 2D or 3D is still a mess, albeit an entertaining one.
Recasting some roles and writing out others, with new writers and a new director, G.I. Joe Retaliation is as much of a reboot as it is a sequel, representing a change of tone from its predecessor, eschewing some of the forced humor in favor of a straight up action adventure. Sadly, the unnecessarily convoluted plot has not been rectified, leaving a confusing mess of a film that's despite being made up of all the right elements, including some impressive visual effects from Industrial Light and Magic, fails to gel together in anything resembling a cohesive bond.
Stars such as Channing Tatum and Dwayne Johnson are reliable leads and lend the film some much needed gravitas (if I can use the word so lightly), whilst Adrianne Palicki provides the eye candy, however it's just not enough to overcome a plot that didn't need to be so 'clever'.
Still (and I know I'm at the risk of letting the film go easy), there is a small, but quantifiable amount of entertainment value to be found here, such that it's at least worth a drunk Saturday night viewing, although waiting for a cheaper home video session would be infinitely preferred. However, if you do feel the need to see it at the cinema, at least skip the 3D showings - the conversion by Digital Domain Stereo Group is extremely aggressive, with significant 3D pop-out that caused me the most painful 3D induced head ache I've ever experienced. Definitely not worth the surcharge for that.

Tolerancing in ZEMAX OPTI 521 – Tutorial Stacie Hvisc December 8, 2006 Abstract Tolerancing is a very useful skill to have as an optical engineer. If an optical system is to be built, a tolerance analysis must be performed to ensure that the system will meet the performance specifications. Tolerances should be specified for any parameters in a system that might vary by some amount from the system prescription. For example, these parameters include radius of curvature, thickness and position. Zemax has the capability to do tolerancing in different modes: sensitivity mode, inverse sensitivty and inverse increment. It can also perform a Monte Carlo simulation. These functions in Zemax are briefly discussed before a detailed demo of the sensitivity analysis using the lens in homework 4. 1. Summary of tolerancing in ZEMAX: Zemax supports different modes used in computing and analyzing tolerances: Sensitivity mode, inverse sensitivity and skip sensitivity. Different types of problems will require different methods to be used. Once the sensitivity or inverse sensitivity analysis is performed, Zemax will perform a Monte Carlo simulation. 1.1 Sensitivity mode In sensitivity mode, you can specify the tolerances on any of the parameters that might vary in the optical system. Zemax will then perturb each parameter individually and record the amount of change in the criteria. (The criterion is some figure of merit, such as rms wavefront error and is discussed in more detail in Section 2.) 1.2 Inverse Sensitivity Inverse sensitivity mode allows you to specify how much a given parameter is allowed to affect the merit function. Then, ZEMAX computes the minimum and maximum values of the tolerance operands. 1.3 Monte Carlo After the sensitivity analysis or inverse sensitivity analysis is performed, Zemax will perform a Monte Carlo analysis. (It is also possible to skip this first step ("Skip sensitivity"), although presumably, you won't be skipping it until you've done it at least once.) The Monte Carlo analysis simulates the effect of all perturbations simultaneously. Zemax will generate randomly lenses that meet the specified tolerances, for some number of lenses that you choose (20 is a good starting point). Then, it will calculate statistics on those random lenses. The random perturbations to the lenses may be generated using normal, uniform, parabolic, or user defined statistics. Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 2. Criteria for tolerancing ZEMAX can use a variety of different criteria for tolerancing. Options are RMS spot size (radius, x, or y), RMS wavefront, Merit Function, Geometric or Diffraction MTF, Boresight error or from a user script. 3. How ZEMAX computes the tolerance analysis: Before using the sensitivity analysis results in Zemax, it is very important to be able to understand what Zemax is doing. In order to achieve this understanding, it is necessary for to one to go step-to-step through the same process as Zemax does automatically, all at once. First, ZEMAX saves lens in a temporary file, which will be used to restore the lens after the tolerancing is complete. (The only exception is that the tolerance data min and max limits may be altered during inverse sensitivity analysis.) 1) ZEMAX removes all of the variables (but not the solves) 2) The tolerance operators are read and the compensator(s) are set as variables. 3) A new merit function is created using the criteria information on the tolerance dialog box. Sensitivity Analysis The sensitivity analysis procedure looks very similar to the procedure I carried out on my own on HW 4 and 5. (Details from the homework are provided in Appendix 2.) 1) Start with the unperturbed lens 2) Adjust the parameter whose tolerance is being evaluated to the extreme minimum value. 3) Adjust the compensator 4) Record the resulting criteria 5) Repeat the procedure for the maximum tolerance 6) Repeat the algorithm for each tolerance operand. 4. Example demo of a sensitivity analysis in Zemax In the following demo, I will (attempt to) show how to perform a sensitivity analysis on the air- space doublet focusing lens used in the Fall 2006 OPTI 521 Homework 4B assignment. (See Appendix 1 for the prescription data. After the file is opened, the tolerances are generated automatically using the default tolerances GUI. Then, the tolerances are edited in the tolerance data editor. Finally, the sensitivity analysis is performed. Step 1: Open the HW4.zmx file (downloaded from the course website. Page 2 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Figure 1: Demo Step 1 Step 2: In the Zemax window, go to "Editors" drop down menu and choose "Tolerance data" and the Tolerance Data Editor will open. Figure 2: Demo Step 2 Step 3: On the Tolerance Data Editor window that just opened, go to the "Tools" drop down menu and select "Default Tolerances…" Page 3 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Figure 3: Demo Step 3 …and the following Default Tolerances window will open. Figure 4: Demo Step 3 Step 4: Adjust the perturbations to match the values I used on the homework and click "OK"… Figure 5: Demo Step 4 …and the following table appears Page 4 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Figure 6: Demo Step 4 This table is the Tolerance Data Editor, where each of the tolerances can be individually adjusted. Normally, there is more than one way of doing things in Zemax and we just saw an example of this. You can use the Default Tolerance GUI window or you can just type each of the tolerances in one by one. Here is an explanation of each of the columns in the Tolerance Data Editor: • Column 1) Operand number • Column 2) 4 letter mnemonic for the tolerance – see next slide for a list • Column 3) Surface number for tolerance • Columns 4 and 5) Skip for now • Column 6) Nominal value (helpful for identifying surfaces) • Columns 7 and 8) Minimum and Maximum perturbations • Column 9) Comments Zemax uses 4 letter mnemonics to describe each of the possible perturbations, as shown in the following table: Page 5 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Step 5: Check to make sure all the numbers in the tolerance data editor are correct This is the hardest step. Here are some sample things I found you might want to change. Zemax gives all tolerances generated the same value of perturbation. This might be a problem for example with the spacing in the system. In general you will know the thicknesses of the lenses to a better accuracy than the spacing between the lenses. (So, in this example, I had to change the lens spacing between lens 1 and lens 2 to 0.2mm to match what I did on the homework, because all the other thicknesses were set to be 0.1mm perturbations.) Zemax adds an additional compensator for thicknesses. This can be found in column 4 of the "TTHI" perturbations. You need to figure out whether if your lenses are precisely positioned (say, in a barrel), or whether each element is x mm behind the elements in front of it in the optical system. If you don't want this, delete it (which is what I did, since I did not add additional variables as compensators when determining the effect of thicknesses on the homework.) Since this system is rotationally symmetric, tilts and decenters in the x and y directions turn out to be the same. After I verified this, I deleted all of the y direction entries to save time and space. Step 6: Next go to the "Tools" drop down window and choose "Tolerancing" and then "Tolerancing…" Page 6 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Figure 7: Demo Step 6 …and the following Tolerancing window opens. Figure 8: Demo Step 6 Step 7: Adjust the parameters in the Tolerancing window (See Figure 8) as needed. Choose your mode: (Sensitivity, Inverse Sensitivity, Inverse Increment, Skip Sensitivity). We want Sensitivity right now, which is the default already chosen. Increase the Sampling: (I choose the maximum allowed.) Choose the Criteria: (RMS Spot Radius, RMS Wavefront, Merit Function, Boresight Error, MTF and more). We need to select RMS Wavefront. Choose the Compensator: (Paraxial focus, Optimize All, None). We want the paraxial focus to be the compensator, which is already the default. Check "Force Ray Aiming On" (which makes it more accurate, but slower). You can also Show Compensators (for example to see how much focus changes for example). Page 7 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Step 8: A results window will open, showing many results. Depending on the results, one may with to loosen or tighten the tolerances. This can be done easily in the tolerance data editor by adjusting rows individually, as before. Or, you choose from the menu to tighten or loosen all of the tolerances at once by a factor of two. There is a lot of information here, but let's just concentrate on finding the sensitivities. One advantage of Zemax is that the sensitivities may be calculated for perturbations in both the positive and negative directions. In general, these may be similar, but different, especially for lens radii. On the homework, I used positive perturbations, so let's calculated that now. The following figure shows just the beginning of the information from the results window. Figure 9: Demo Step 8 From this, we can calculate the sensitivities by dividing the change in the criteria (RMS wavefront) by the perturbation.

Unfortunately, none of the sensitivities matched very well. (While working on the homework assignment, I verified my sensitivities with a few others to ensure they were correct, and I do not believe they are the problem.) Luckily, nothing is more than a magnitude of order off… Some of the students who tried to do the sensitivity analysis on the homework by pressing the buttons in Zemax were supposedly off by two orders of magnitude. The one with the worst difference off -734% is most likely just due to the insensitivity of that perturbation.

Discussion of Results After ensuring that I had the correct units everywhere (e.g. tilts are all waves/deg, not waves/mm), unfortunately, the sensitivities found using Zemax did not match those found for the homework assignment. There are some possible differences I have identified as possible sources, but have not been able to investigate further. The first possible difference is due to using a slightly different merit function during optimization. o On the homework, I used a Default Merit Function of RMS Wavefront Centroid with the following pupil sampling: Gaussian quadrature ? rings, ? arms. The merit function is composed of many entries of OPDX: Optical path difference with respect to the shifted and tilted reference sphere that minimizes the RMS wavefront error, which ZEMAX calls the centroid reference. o In the sensitivity analysis, Zemax used RWCE: "RMS (to centroid) from integration of the fixed coefficients" o The solution might be to use the merit function as the tolerancing criteria, or to redo the sensitivity analysis, as on the homework using RWCE. The next possible different is slightly different values of RMS wavefront error as the criteria: o I used on the homework: "RMS (to centroid) from integration of the rays" For example, the nominal value from the optimized design was 0.000633λ. o Zemax used RWCE: "RMS (to centroid) from integration of the fixed coefficients" For example, the nominal value from the optimized design was 0.000652 λ. o The solution is to use the same number for the comparison. The next reason why the sensitivities are different is that Zemax calculates the change in criteria differently. o The change in Zemax is just the difference between the final and the original values of the criteria. This does not make any sense when the nominal criteria is small ad the change is also small and I'm not sure why Zemax does the calculation this way. (See Appendix 2 for a more thorough discussion of this.) The following table shows the effect on the sensitivity when the change is calculated differently. The sensitivities still do not match.

Summary Zemax offers a way of computing sensitivities for an entire optical system all at once. This can be very convenient if you understand what Zemax is doing. Unfortunately, there are many steps to understand and places where you can screw up. I was not able to match the sensitivities exactly, but it is my hope that the demo here will provide the reader with an introduction to tolerancing and help them get over the first, hardest part of the learning curve in learning new software features. This tutorial should also provide guidelines on certain issues to be careful with and if nothing else, help the reader appreciate the complexity of performing a tolerance analysis in Zemax. Even Zemax agrees with this view; "Tolerancing is a complex procedure, and the algorithms used by ZEMAX to manipulate the lens data are not infallible. Therefore, it is the designer's responsibility to verify that the program is computing reasonable results." 7. References Zemax User's Guide, November 12, 2005 (Chapter 17) Page 11 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Appendix 1: Optical system prescription data Page 12 of 13 Stacie Hvisc Zemax sensitivity analysis December 8, 2006 Appendix 2: Details on the sensitivity calculation method used on the homework Starting from the nominal design in Zemax, each element is perturbed individually by an amount Δxi. This value is chosen to be close to the expected tolerance. (The purpose of this is that while the sensitivities are generally fairly linear over the region of interest, they are not linear over all space.) After perturbing one element, the system is optimized with the final spacing from the rear surface of the second lens to the image plane (the position sensing detector) as the single variable. (The Default merit function for minimizing the RMS wavefront centroid was used in Zemax during the optimization.) The new rms wavefront Φ(xi +Δxi) is then recorded. (Also for the benefit of comparison, the new back focal distance (BFD) is also recorded.) In general, if the nominal merit function Φ0 is small, then you can calculate the sensitivity directly using the following equation: xi xi 0 xi xi xi xi xi Although the residual rms wavefront error from the optical design was very small (0.00063 λ), the resulting change in wavefront due to the perturbations was also small. i.e. The new rms wavefront Φ(xi +Δxi) was not much larger than original residual wavefront from the design Φ0. I assumed the change due to the perturbation was uncorrelated, so ΔΦ and Φ0 could be combined in root sum square (RSS): xi xi 2 0 2 With the values of ΔΦ and Δxi inserted into a spreadsheet, it is now trivial to find the sensitivity for the perturbation, ΔΦ/Δxi. The element that was perturbed is then returned to the original state (and the system is reoptimized to ensure that the original design of the system is found). This process can now be repeated for all of the other degrees of freedom in the system. Page 13 of 13

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Kevin Brown finally got support both
offensively and defensively.
Brown pitched seven strong innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers
got solo homers from Paul Lo Duca and Adrian Beltre to beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 Tuesday night.
Brown's effort was complemented by stellar defensive plays by
shortstop Cesar Izturis and left fielder Mike Kinkade, filling in
for Brian Jordan, who was home with a sore throat.
"I've lost games giving up bloopers. Tonight I gave up some
hard-hit balls and came out a winner,'' Brown said. "I don't know.
Maybe I've got a few years worth of good luck coming around.''
Brown, a six-time All-Star, was on the disabled list six times
in his previous four seasons with the Dodgers and was limited to 10
starts and 17 relief outings last year because of elbow and back
Izturis made a diving stop of Tomas Perez's grounder behind
second base in the fifth and made a backhanded flip to Jolbert
Cabrera, who caught it barehanded and just missed completing an
inning-ending double play.
In the sixth, Kinkade robbed Ricky Ledee of extra bases with a
diving catch on the warning track -- a play that was similar to the
one he made against Pittsburgh's Kevin Young in the second inning
of Sunday's 6-3 victory at PNC Park. Kinkade then turned around and
admired his work on the video board above the pavilion roof.
"This was one of the better catches I've ever seen,'' Lo Duca
said. "Kinkade just flat-out plays baseball. He gets it done
wherever you put him. He can hit and he plays defense with no
regard for his body. I couldn't believe how high off the ground he
Brown (2-1) allowed five hits, including a two-out homer in the
seventh by Mike Lieberthal, who hit three homers at Dodger Stadium
last Aug. 10 in a 10-8 victory. He fanned Pat Burrell, Jim Thome
and Lieberthal on 13 pitches during a 1-2-3 second inning and
finished with seven strikeouts and no walks.
"The last two starts have been good,'' Brown said. "The couple
before that, I felt like a walking zombie in comparison. It's just
nice to feel like a human being again and not walking around
feeling like you've got one foot in the grave.''
Lo Duca's one-out homer to left field in the third ended a
string of 20 consecutive scoreless innings by the Phillies' staff,
including Kevin Millwood's no-hitter on Sunday and Brett Myers' 3-0
win on Monday night.
Lo Duca opened the scoring against Randy Wolf (3-2) with his
first home run since last Sept. 27.
Phillies manager Larry Bowa got into an animated discussion with
third base umpire Ted Barrett in the fourth after Barrett pointed
foul -- then fair -- on Cabrera's infield single behind the bag with
one out and one on.
"He said he didn't do that. He said he was moving his hand to
get it out of the way. They have an excuse for everything,'' Bowa
said. "Everybody else is under the microscope whatever you do, if
you're a player or manager. And he's telling me that he didn't say
`foul ball.' Those 28,000 people saw him say 'foul,' then 'fair.'''
The call proved costly to the Phillies, as Izturis loaded the
bases with a single to right and Beltre scored on Brown's sacrifice fly to center.
Beltre led off the sixth with his first homer in 12 games and
third this season to make it 3-0.
Los Angeles broke it open in the seventh after loading the bases
for the third time against Wolf. Carlos Silva came on and hit
Cabrera with an 0-2 pitch, forcing in the Dodgers' fourth run.
Izturis, who was 3-for-4, followed with a two-run single.
Wolf, a local product who furnished tickets for 29 family and
friends, allowed six runs and 11 hits in 6 2/3 innings.
"I gave up a lot of hits and it hurt me,'' Wolf said. "The
homers were on two pitches out over the plate. I hung a curveball
to Beltre and left a fastball out over to Lo Duca. And with the way
Kevin Brown was pitching tonight, to give up two early runs and
then a third, that's a long way for us to go because he was
throwing the ball really well.''
Game notes
Burrell, whose fourth-inning bid for a two-run homer just
hooked foul of the left field pole, grounded into a double play two
pitches later. ... Wolf, who had the second-lowest run support in
the NL last season, got fewer than four runs to work with for the
first time in his six starts this season. ... Dodgers CF Dave
Roberts sat out for the fourth straight game because of a sore
right hamstring, which he injured running out a bunt single last
Friday night at Pittsburgh. ... Lo Duca's homer ended a streak of
11 games in which the Dodgers' opponent scored first.

Stephanie's Reviews > Ava: My Story
Ava: My Story
by Ava Gardner
by Ava Gardner
Stephanie's review
Mar 17, 10
Read from February 13 to March 03, 2010
I loved this book! I actually picked it up because I knew nothing about Ava Gardner, except that she was a film star/sex symbol, and I wanted to find out who she really was. I'm so glad I did! Ava was so funny, endearing, and genuine in her thoughts and actions. This book has it all! I laughed out loud at her stories from childhood on up-it's amazing how cinematic her real life actually was! There were sad and touching moments too and I found her to be relatable in a lot of ways. When she first arrived in Hollywood as an extra, the picture she painted of her view of the studio was so down to earth that it seemed like she could have been practically any country girl and at any Hollywood-esque time (including now). I was intrigued by how she dealt/coped with terrifying and dangerous situations. Wow! I also loved how loyal she was to her husbands and was so impressed with her refusal to give in to Howard Hughes' offerings of anything she wanted in the world, since she didn't love him (the icing on the cake were the little lines at the end of those sentences, something like.. "I would do it all over again... I think"). :) I smiled most of the way through and could hardly put this book down! I definitely recommend it!

I just finished Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations, which gives a whole different perspective. That one was written by her ghost writer prior to this book and it contained a lot of the same information. The difference is, she was constantly working with Peter, the first ghost writer, to try to take out some of her more candid humor and words because she didn't want to sound inappropriate, and by comparison, this version of her story is pretty filtered. I still like both books very much, though.

It's too soon to say what will happen, but not too soon to say Oklahoma can't pretend that neighboring states don't have lower income tax burdens.
Texas has a vigorous and rebounding economy. Oklahoma can't ignore this either. After a painful paring during the recession, Texas lawmakers now have more money than they can spend because they're limited by law to maintain spending growth at no more than the rate of economic growth — now at a healthy 10.7 percent.
Those who argue that Fallin and Republican lawmakers are extremists because they want to again cut income taxes have lost perspective. What they propose is a relatively modest position for a sandwich state. It doesn't take things as far as Kansas and certainly not as far as Texas.
A key question is whether the modest tax cut is enough to incentivize population and economic growth. In other words, is the reduction in revenue — which may or may not be temporary — worth the price? We think it is, because of what's happening elsewhere.

GW checks in with daring acoustic fingerstylists Andy McKee, Jon Gomm and Daryl Kellie.
Veteran guitarists choose the one song they'd most want to be remembered by — Part 2.
Guitar legends choose the one song they'd most want to be remembered by — Part 1.
In 1986, we put Ed and Les together in the same room to talk about what they knew best.
With a lot of talent and a little bit of luck, a new generation of acoustic guitar fingerstylists are blazing a new style of percussive, alternate-tuned shred. In the Eighties, radical fingerstylists like Michael Hedges and Preston Reed pioneered an acoustic guitar style based on an alternate-tuned, percussion-heavy, new age–tinged sound.
Bassist and vocalist Chris Squire, a founding member of prog-rock legends Yes, died today, June 28, at age 67 after a brief battle with Acute Erythroid Leukemia (AEL), an uncommon form of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The U.K.-born Squire had been receiving treatment in Phoenix, where he lived, since being diagnosed with the disease only last month.
For nearly two decades Jef Whitehead has forged a solitary path into the heart of darkness as the sole architect behind the one-man U.S. black metal band Leviathan. Here, Whitehead lifts the veil and reveals the personal struggles and triumphs that led him to create his latest extreme metal epic Scar Sighted.
He's the founding guitarist of seminal New York hardcore band Agnostic Front, loves the Pittsburgh Steelers and has lived in the same Lower East Side apartment for 60 years. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
As Lynyrd Skynyrd gear up to release their latest live record, One More for the Fans! guitarist Gary Rossington reflects on his career as the sole surviving original member of the Southern rock giants.
Veteran guitarists and the stars of tomorrow tell us the songs they would most want to be remembered by.
We talked with guitarist Jon Hudson about the creative process for Faith No More's new album, Sol Invictus, what he did during the band's 11-year touring hiatus and how technology has rocked his world.
His guitar playing and vocal harmonizing in the blue-eyed soul duo Hall & Oates earned him mega chart success and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
The winning bid of $117,500 for a factory-fresh Gibson Les Paul Standard Special—in a satin finish of red, gun-metal grey and viper blue, and sporting bullet shell knobs, no less—caught even its country-rock instigator off guard.

okay i'm really sorry if this has been posted before but this issue has been bugging the crap out of me ever since i first started adding pulldowns into my routine.
i go wide grip on pulldowns and i always find my forearms giving out very quickly. like i barely feel anything in my lats. i know that feel has nothing to do with the actual rate of muscle growth, but i'd like to feel some pain in my lats and not in my forearms!
a guy suggested that i try close grip pulldowns with an underhand grip. although this is a heck lot easier than the wide grip over hand grip pulldowns, i actually feel it in my lats more and less in my forearms. this is weird because i always thought that an overhand grip was better for hitting the lats hard.
i've always had this problem with pull-ups too. my freakin forearms give out. so the question is, do i just have a weak-assed grip or am i doing something wrong here? my lats are definitely a weakpoint and i'd like to change that and get a mean back.
yeah it really pisses me off how a lot of my "pull" lifts are ruined by my forearms giving out. i mean i work them out too but they get hit really hard and really fast to the point where i can barely lift like 100 pounds. any help would be appreciated. thanks!
