chest with back, arms with legs, etc. what works best?
There's about 1898406354 different combinations of training splits.
Find the one that works best for you.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Not Big Enough
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. Bruce Lee
haha, fine. where would i look? please list some instead of telling me to search.
A good beginner split would be:
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Not Big Enough
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. Bruce Lee
Push: Chest shoulders and tris
Pull: back and bis
Legs: legs
If you like to train each muscle group once a week you could do something like Mon push, Wen pull, Fri legs.
If you like to train more often try something like Mon push, Tues pull, Thurs legs Fri push, Mon Pull, Tues legs, etc.
A good list of possible splits is available at http://www.exrx.net/Lists/WorkoutMenu.html . The optimal training protocol depends on many factors. One of the key ones is your goals. Are you concerned with hypertrophy, strength, power or Olympic lifting totals, sports performance, improving a specific body part, losing weight, some combination, etc.? Drug use, genetics, and training history also play an important role.
I have had good results with a Pull/Legs/Push/Rest. or a Pull/Legs/Push/Rest/Half-Body/Half-Body/Rest split. Splits involving 2 upper and 2 lower days per week also seems to be gaining popularity. A large portion of common splits tend to overemphasize the arms, shoulders, or chest. Note that some programs vary the frequency of workouts (and weekly spilt) over time, such as Fortified Iron and Twin Peak's hypertrophy programs.

Right now I'm using:
Mon: Chest/Tris
Tues: Back/bis
Wed: Cardio
Thurs: Quads/Hams/Abs
Fri: Shoulders/Traps/Calves
Sat: Cardio
Sun: Off
It is working well for me, gives enough rest between muscle groups. I usually switch things around every 6 weeks or so, following different routines, but this is my core routine I return to all the time.
Opinions are like ***holes, everybody has one.
There are three kinds of lies - lies, damned lies and statistics. ~Benjamin Disraeli
I think you have to first workout how much rest you are going to need in a week which will probably depend on your goals, time you have been training, body type, nutrition and sleep. A good split if 1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 2 off or 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off etc. As you can see even this minor change means an extra workout per week which would change the training split. Plus certain body types respond well to training each muscle group every 5 to 9 days. Plus, some body parts may respond best to more frequent training i.e. every 5 days, while other would respond better every 9 days which would also affect your overall split. Experiment, change it up, experiment and change it again. In about 7 to 10 years you should have figured the best strategy for your own body.

Height: 6ft
Weight: 234lbs
Years training with weights: 11, seriously: 6.
Front squat:275x5 (264x4)
Incline DB press:95x5 (92.5x6)
DB row:110x6
when i was bulking i was using this routine
day 1- chest, tri
day 2 - bicept, shoulder, forarm
day three, back, legs
i did that routine twice a week, i got unbeleavable strength gain and bulk with this.
Dude, how the hell did you manage to work legs and back on the SAME day? I have a hard enough time doing calves once I've finished my legs on leg day and I'm lucky in that 3 sets of 10 and my calves just keep growing. But to do a full back workout as well...Did that last over 2hrs?

I don't like that split either. Putting the 2 largest muscles on the same day doesn't seem right to me. Keep in mind though his workout could have been 3 sets of squats followed by 3 sets of rows (for example)...it wouldn't have to last an inordinate amount of time.Originally Posted by Max0d
The split I'm doing now seems to be working well for me:
Day 1: quads/side delts/calves
Day 2: back/bis/rear delts/abs
Day 3: rest
Day 4: hams/traps
Day 5: chest/tris/front delts
Day 6: rest
Day 7: rest

So you don't wanna get big, do you?
"If your arm measurement is currently 13 inches, you are worrying about the wrong things. Quit comparing to others, quit worrying about little details, get your ass in the gym, work as hard as you can, then go eat something. Repeat until huge." - Paul Stagg
"There is no miracle "look good" diet/pill other than determination and commitment" - geoffgarcia
"Freaking lift to get bigger, or stronger, or better at your damn sport, and quit worrying about weather or not your arm is 16 inches or 16.2 inches." - Paul Stagg
"If you want to look like Brad Pitt go run a marathon or something." - Severed Ties
the workout did not take that long because since their two different muscle group, you can do a set legs inbetween your back excersize, and back and forth. this also keeps your heartrate up. my workout is not for veryone, but a few guys i know have tried it, and they love it. it also takes alot of discipline.Originally Posted by Vido
If you're starting out I'd say push/pull/legs.
If the only thing you are holding is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
We are all partial to our own splits.
When I begin developing a new routine I list the muscle groups I want to focus on:
lats, traps/rhomboids, spinal erectors, neck
pecs, abs/obliques/serratus
hamstrings, quads, calves
shoulders, triceps, biceps, forearms
Then I determine how many days I want to be in a split. The majority of us work on a 7 cycle, meaning every seven day the split starts again. However there is really no need to do this. The only benefit being you do the same movements on the same days of the week, which helps get into a routine.
That said, my routine has 5 working days and is based on a 7 day split but I almost opted to make it 8 days (extra day of rest)
The next step is to pick which muscles compliment each other...I personally think hamstrings and spinal erectors blend well together, etc...Also this is where you have to address synergistic muscles, like you wouldn't want to put biceps the day before lats, and you wouldn't want to put triceps before pecs or shoulders....or calves before hamstrings, etc....
Anyway, these are just opinions, we all have em...these are mine, many disagree...I've been lifting for about 12 years now, I think the routine I have here rocks, I have the actual exercises reps/sets in my journal:
1 lats, traps/rhomboids
2 hamstrings, spinal erectors, biceps
4 pecs
5 quads, calves
6 shoulders, triceps
Didn't see anyone say:
Monday: Chest & Back
Wednesday: Legs & Shoulders
Friday: Arms & Stomach
You can put Shoulders anywhere you please. I've been doin this for a few months and I like it. Doing Arms on one day is quite satisfying. Also it's easy to superset Chest and Back, Bis and Tris. Whatever you enjoy doing is what you should do. You'll gain regardless. As long as you have enough rest and eat well that is.
It's hard to go wrong when constructing your split. There are a few things to keep in mind.
1) If you are working each bodypart only once per week you are going to have to do ALL of the volume for that bodypart in one workout. If you do too little volume, then your gains will have been maximized, then diminished by the next workout (7-8 days later). I'm not saying the once per week split cannot work, I'm just saying that you have to do more volume per workout this way.
2) Try to not workout bodyparts two days in a row. For example,
Day 1: Chest/Tris
Day 2: upperback/shoulders
Day 3: Lowerback/bis
Day 4: Legs/core
On this workout split you are working your upperback and shoulders two days in a row.
3) Try to not train your largest bodyparts together (unless you are working each group more than once per week).
Day 1: Chest/back
Your back and chest make up most of your upperbody. This will require a large amount of volume and time in this training session. A better split would look like,
Day 1: Chest/Tris/shoulders
Day 3: Legs/core
Day 5: Back/Bi's
Finally, to my personal favorite.
Monday: Upperbody
Tuesday: Lowerbody
Thursday: Upperbody
Friday: Lowerbody
I have had the most success off of this split. I use a dynamic and a maximal effort day (still short of failure, however). The rep scheme is changed weekly. Ex. Week 1=4 per compound exersize, Weed 2=5 per compound exersize, and so on. If you want me to post the entire workout I will. Anyhoo, there's my thoughts on your question.
After all of this discussion, I think I'm going to use this split:
sound good?
Chest, bis and shoulders in one session is a bit much. By to time you get to your final focus area, you will have depleted your upper body strength and grip such that you will gain very little from that part of your workout. Assuming you are working heavy that is. Chest and bis together would be good from a super-set type of format. JMO

To all of you who are finished (or almost finished) homeschooling for the year − congratulations! Way to go for homeschooling your kids! Way to go for teaching, managing, coordinating, and nurturing! You've made it through May.
Today, I sit in our old school room (a spare bedroom that we converted twelve years ago) which is now my office. Office? Do offices have old rock collections, all levels of textbooks, and NASA pictures all around? Okay, I'm in the process of changing it.
Meanwhile, I reach into the depths of the closet to retrieve my day-planner from our first year homeschooling − 2001. I open it and see Friday 3/8
I came across a digital curriculum called, Autism Expressed. It was created by Michele McKeone who wanted a way to help her students who had autism, transition from high school into the real world. Although there are numerous computer applications 'out there' designed to teach a specific skill, Michele filled the need of using technology to teach the basics and beyond of technology in a way that could be easily processed by students who have autism.
Have you ever considered that prayer is one of the most beautiful blessings of homeschooling? I can't think of anything more precious than hearing our own children talk to God in prayer―to have the opportunity to pray throughout the day about all the issues of life, however big or small―well, that is a wonderful thing...
Do you have a child who has some speech/language difficulties such as articulation problems, receptive or expressive language difficulties, or even using appropriate social skills and language within social settings? It is not uncommon!
Monday morning, fall 2002. After breakfast, the twins began their chores. I wrote a list of about three things for each boy on little yellow post-it notes a with a black marker—things like: Take out the trash; Fold laundry; Windex the sliding back door...
In the pre- school years, we had a chore chart on the fridge, but once the boys were in the elementary grades, I switched to post-it notes.
We often hear from moms who are frustrated because their child is having difficulty recalling information from day to day. They say, "He knew his multiplication facts (long division steps, science definitions, etc.) yesterday, but today, it's as if everything is brand new." There are many specific strategies that can be used to help students hold onto information. Today, I thought I'd describe just a few.
As a reading specialist, I am always looking for great resources and opportunities to assist students with reading and print disabilities. Recently, I came across a couple of great opportunities through the organization, Learning Ally, (Formerly Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic).
Home school parents, if you have a child who struggles with reading, is dyslexic, or is impacted by a print disability, I hope you will check out these opportunities!
I am so thankful for the wonderful resources available to families who are teaching children with special needs. Technology tools, low tech adaptive equipment, multi-sensory curriculum options―these are just some of the resources that make it possible to successfully teach a child with special needs at home. In addition to those tools that you can 'buy' are the wonderful people resources that homeschooling families can access. One such person is Barbara Newman who is a church and school consultant for the great folks at CLC Network. She is a special education teacher, author, and speaker who has a passion for creating environments that include, support, and celebrate people with disabilities. This week, I am pleased to introduce Barbara as a guest blogger. Enjoy!
It was a cool Monday late September when Jay called to let me know that a series of vintage (1920's and 1930's) airplanes were on exhibit at Frederick's Regional Airport for the "National Air Tour". I looked out our school room window, propellers already spinning in my mind.
"Hmm... I'm not sure that I can re-arrange things, but I know that the twins would love it. And I would love it!" But I hesitated as I looked down at my planner...
We love to sing and dance and move at our house. My kids are such tactile, kinesthetic (wiggly) learners! I continue to learn that rather than fight against this natural bent in their learning preferences to incorporate music and movement into my teaching times, be it acting out Bible stories or putting motions to poems, to singing directions during important routines and transition times.
I love the fact that Dr. Ben Carson always speaks so highly of his mother's strength and influence in his life. I've heard him say that his mom often reminded her young boys that God gave them brains, so they needed to use them. That reminds me of...
...our eleven years of homeschooling, and how I often told my boys, "God gave you a voice, and He wants to hear it." So I related that to prayer, and how that God wants all of us to praise Him, no matter what our age...
Autisms Speaks announces grant for iPads; On-line application opens this week, November 4th, 2013.
Autism Speaks has announced that through the generosity of Sevenly, Wyndham Worldwide, the Geier Foundation, the James Walter Pickle Charitable Foundation, the Agarwal Foundation and Jonathan Izak, 800 schools and financially disadvantaged individuals with autism will receive an Apple iPad 2 with a Kraken A.M.S. case, by Trident Case!
HSLDA is excited to invite you to our very first Facebook Party this Thursday October 10th at 9:00 PM EST. We're partnering with APOLOGIA Educational Ministries. The theme is 'Parents Night Out', and guess what? We'll be giving away prizes along the way, including the makings of an actual parents night out~ think Panera Bread and the movies!
We'll start the party on Apologia's Facebook page at 9:00 PM EST, and then move over to the HSLDA Facebook page at 9:30. Faith Berens and myself will be there to chat with you. You can ask questions- especially those that pertain to homeschooling a child with special needs, share ideas, and just fellowship. Faith and I love to talk, so it should be a lot of fun!
We want to take this opportunity to tell you about two opportunities designed to encourage and equip families who are homeschooling children with special needs.

Rocard is a small volcanci seamount about 60 km WNW of Mehetia and 28 km ESE of Teahitia seamount. It displayed seismicity in 1966, 1971, and 1972 that may have resulted from submarine eruptions (Talandier and Custer, 1976). Rocks dredged in 1986 "exploded" when they reached the surface, suggesting recent lava extrusion that had not yet had time to equilibrate with pressure and temperature conditions on the submerged flanks of the edifice. The summit lies 2500 m below sea level.

Sharing a link to a social media website using a plugin? Prepare to lose privacy. But this time it's not the NSA tracking you. Instead you're being tracked by the plugin vendors. Vendors like AddThis, ShareThis and AddToAny are keeping track of what links you are sharing, not only on the current website, but on any other websites that use those plugins.
But they don't really know who you are, right? You've never given them your Facebook ID or Twitter ID. Well think again. These social sharing plugins are using by millions of websites out there. Even if you don't click on them, they are still being loaded by your browser whenever you visit a page that uses social sharing plugins, allowing them to track you by your IP. And by constructing a huge database of websites that you've visited, they can generate a pretty clear picture of your personal interests and browsing habits. Information that advertisers and insurance companies are interested in.
Not only can they track you, they can also track the people who visit the links that you've shared. Some plugins will modify the link that you share to include a tracker ID or will substitute another link that redirects the user through another server first. This way they can build a database of people who share things and find out who clicks on those links and who subsequently re-shares them.
And think they can't track you because you're using Incognito mode or InPrivate mode in your browser? Well AddThis is experimenting with a new tracking tool called Canvas Fingerprinting which is virtually impossible to block. It works by picking a bunch of metrics off your computer, including things like what fonts are installed, and then generates a unique fingerprint of you on this particular computer. Even if you clear your cookies or block them, they can still track you.
How about "opting out" of being tracked on the social sharing plugins website? Many social sharing plugins feel obliged to offer you the ability to opt-out by setting an "opt-out" cookie in your browser. This is the real world equivalent to sticking a "No Spam" sticker on your mailbox at home. But lets face it, how much do you trust them to comply with those cookies? They didn't ask you for permission to take part in the Canvas Fingerprint experiment in the first place.
Well what can we do?
For starters you can send an email to your favorite websites politely asking them to stop using social media plugins that track users.
You can also write to your senator asking them to support laws that protect your privacy.
If you own a website, you can use Open Source social sharing plugins that don't track users or use plugins that can be whole hosted on your own server and that doesn't call out to external servers.

The Cell-in-a-Box® technology, developed by Austrianova, is a means to protect, isolate, storeand transport living cells. The proprietary technology can be used for a variety of purposes. In healthcare, it facilitates the safe implantation of cells, holding them isolated from the immune system and allowing long term production of therapeutic molecules in patients. In biotechnology, the Cell-in-a-Box® technology protects cells in bioreactors and fermenters, while at the same time simplifying purification of bioproducts produced from the cells and reducing production cost. The technology can also be applied to probiotics, cosmetics and agriculture, environmental protection and monitoring, as well as forming the basis of a powerful research tool. The company's proprietary cell packaging material, Gel8, used for the Cell-in-a-Box® technology, is derived from a naturally occurring material and is thus harmless to the environment, biologically inert and has been shown to be safe in humans. http://austrianova.com/products/ PharmaCyte Biotech is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing and preparing to commercialize treatments for cancer and diabetes based upon a proprietary cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology known as Cell-in-a-Box®. This unique and patented technology will be used as a platform upon which treatments for several types of cancer, including advanced, inoperable pancreatic cancer, and diabetes are being built. PharmaCyte Biotech's treatment for pancreatic cancer involves low doses of the well-known anticancer prodrug ifosfamide, together with encapsulated live cells, which convert ifosfamide into its active or "cancer-killing" form. These capsules are placed as close to the cancerous tumor as possible to enable the delivery of the highest levels of the cancer-killing drug at the source of the cancer. This "targeted chemotherapy" has proven remarkably effective in past clinical trials. In addition, PharmaCyte Biotech is working towards improving the quality of life for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and on treatments for other types of solid cancerous tumors. ">

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit zipper messed up broken teeth Had this suit around 2 years. Never had a problem with the zipper until now... Now it's useless. Other than that it's a good suit. It's over rated on the thermal part. In Texas it's windy. When it's 28 degrees out and windy I would need to wear an extra layer...still looking for the optimum suit. Joe - December 09, 2011 (beeville, TX) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Main Zipper desintegrates Nice suit - too bad the main zipper teeth crumbled at the bottom. I'm having to go through the "warantee" process which can take up to 8weeks & has no guarantees. Keene - November 04, 2011 (Midlothian, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Main Zipper IS a problem The suit fits great and has some really useful features. Overall quality seems good, except for the main zipper. While putting on the suit for first time, before I even zipped it up, the slider pulled a number of the teeth out of the zipper. I think in an effort to keep the crotch area dryer in the rain, Firstgear put in a shorter zipper. The bottom of the zipper gets stressed when you pull the suit over your shoulders. I figure replacing the broken zipper with a new one of the same type would just result in another broken zipper. I had the zipper replaced with a brass zipper, which will likely compromise the water resistance and might just break sooner or later as well. I can't recommend the suit unless Firstgear redesigns the main opening & zipper. If Firstgear can fix the design, the suit will be a winner. Jock - May 16, 2011 (Arlington Hts, IL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Useless once the zipper crumbles. I bought this suit even after seeing one in at the dealer with the zipper blown at the bottom. The teeth just came right out. I bought the suit anyway and two weeks later the same thing happened to mine. Once the zipper breaks the suit is useless. They have replaced it (took a week). I am otherwise very pleased with the performance. It just is not made sturdy and for the price I would think it would last more than a few rides.

The Message audio Bible is now available on Bible Gateway! Click to learn more.
10:1 two tablets of stone. It has generally been assumed that the law was written once, the material taking up two tablets or a double tablet. More recently, some have suggested that there were two tablets, each a separate copy of the law. This would reflect the ancient practice of providing each treaty partner with a copy of the agreement. Because the ark was both the place of God's presence with His people, and the focal point of Israel's worship, it was appropriate for both copies of the covenantal terms to be housed in the ark. See note Ex. 31:18.

Bought it for my husband.
Love the color so I bought it for my husband for our trip to Whistler. He wore it once and never did ever since. He said it's bulky and heavy.
Looks brand new still, might sell it in ebay :-(
Karl in Canada
Perfect fit
This jacket is amazing! I am 6'1/2" tall and weigh 175lbs and have long arms and the Medium fits perfect. I had a burton down before that was a LRg and to big to wear on the street, this one fits nice in town and amazing on the hill, plus the removable skirt and cuff things are great.
I have owned 7 burton jackets over the last 14 years and still have almost all of them (I have only given some away to buy more) this will be a jacket that I keep for a long time, and by the looks of it, will stand up to anything.
Pleased in Canada...
how did you get this shipped to canada?

Wooden Robots
Medium my man, that is the size for you.
Pufftastic without the puff
Just got this jacket in and already love it (5'10'', 170..got the medium. this is the 2nd puffy jacket i've owned). Still haven't taken it out in any inclement weather or tested it on the slopes, but just the functionality for street-wear is great. I read some reviews saying that this jacket is too long, but I disagree. It doesn't have a "park-rat" look at all and the bottom sinches up great for an even shorter look.
Loose feel, but slim look.
Extremely warm.
The hood is great and even fits over helmet.
Burton's "LINK ZIP" is 100% compatible with volcom's zip technology.
Good, tight fitting powder skirt if you don't have the zip tech.
Great zippers all-around.
The "removable" Face-gaiter is a little awkwardly designed, but we'll see how it works on the mountain with mitts on.
The audio pocket is velcro. Would've liked to see a zipper there.
I'll review once more when I have a chance to challenge it on the mountain.

how heavy is this jacket? i know it's a down jacket, but i'm hoping it's decently lightweight... and versatile enough (with its vents) to wear even if it's not super frigid negative-30 on the mountain. i'm mostly concerned with its physical weight though (i hate wearing jackets that feel like you've added 10 pounds of deadweight).
Wooden Robots
now way this jacket weighs 10 lbs, but it is pretty dense. The 600 down fill is thick enough you can feel but I don't feel it weighs me down at all. I'll think you will be stoked, Is is super warm.
wanted to confirm, is the redsucker color...
wanted to confirm, is the redsucker color a dark burgundy pinstripe; shiny material? nice looking down jacket, but looks like no one's really biting on it... if burton/dogfunk would lower the price a little, i'd jump on it... gonna play the waiting game........
Four Horsemen
Its not super shiny, but it looks like a slight herring bone (the burgundy striping you see)...
I tried to attach another picture in the stroker jacket so you can see the material. Its obviously a different jacket but it gives you a better view of the material.
Super-dope in person!

The Honig Co. Inc., a leading boutique public relations agency, announced it is representing USA Index Corp., the U.S. subsidiary of Index Corp., a $20 billion diversified technology and media company based in Japan.
The Honig Co. will initially be undertaking a campaign aimed at raising awareness of Sega Animanium, a software product for the animation industry, and working to increase sales within North America.
Sega Animanium, which was developed by game developer Sega, enables animation professionals to easily create life-like animation without the use of costly motion capture technology or time-consuming programming and calculations.

How often does your browser ask you if you're sure you want to close, say, 47 tabs? If you sense your browser, and your attention, goes astray while browsing, a "chunked" bookmark setup might streamline your web behaviour.
Rather than open tabs as you think you need them throughout the day, and provide yourself with endless targets to click away to, WebWorkerDaily suggests looking at your tabs during a heavy browsing session, seeing what you've got open and separating them into function-based groups. Bookmark them all at once and organise them into folders (explained in detail at the post), and then set up a schedule or rotation to open them all in batches, using the "Open all in tabs" shortcut offered by most browsers with a right-click.
What kind of groups, you ask? WebWorkerDaily's suggestions include:
- Mint.com
- Your bank
- Any investment sites
- Checking web site stats:
- Statistics on your main site
- Statistics on sub-sites
Skewed toward web designers, it seems, but easy to replicate for anyone's browsing habits. If it's more a matter of checking sites for procrastination's sake, we recommend setting up LeechBlock to avoid time sinks on Firefox, or its Chrome semi-equivalent, StayFocusd.

MONDAY, May 7 (HealthDay News) -- Those suffering from the common cold will try almost anything to relieve their symptoms, but a cure has yet to be found.
A new Canadian analysis has revealed that zinc tablets may help patients suffer a little less, but side effects are common.
"Although it is possible that oral zinc preparations impact symptoms of the common cold, there is currently insufficient evidence to recommend its use in children and only a weak rationale for use in otherwise healthy adults," said lead researcher Dr. Michelle Science, of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. "The decision to use zinc should take into consideration the questionable benefits balanced against the potential adverse effects."
The report was published in the May 7 edition of the Canadian medical journal CMAJ.
For the study, Science's team looked at the findings of 17 randomized trials that included more than 2,100 patients. In these trials, patients were given either zinc or placebo tablets to see if there was a difference in outcome.
The researchers found that people who took zinc saw a significant reduction in both cold symptoms and the duration of those symptoms. Higher doses of zinc worked better than low doses, they noted.
There was evidence, although weak, that zinc relieved symptoms after a week. There was no difference in symptoms between those taking zinc and those taking placebo at three days, however.
Although zinc seemed to work in adults, it appeared to have no effect on children, Science's group found.
"We found that evidence of benefit from zinc was limited to otherwise healthy adults," Science said. "But even in this group, uncertainty remained about its clinical benefits."
People taking zinc also were more likely to have side effects, including bad taste and nausea, than those taking placebo, the researchers noted.

Need an introduction to finding the best skating spots in Australia? Stop whatever work you're pretending to do and look no further than our man on the move and Contiki Insider Matthew Elson. We're kick pushing out the second of four instalments in Matthew's Guide To Unearthing Australia's Best Skating Spots, following up his guide to the best on offer in Sydney with the following guide to Smooth Surfaces in Melbourne: 101.
Nestled in the middle of Alexandria Gardens is Melbourne's beloved City Park. The park is roughly a 5 minute skate from Flinders Street Station and its surroundings include the iconic Yarra River and rich Botanical Gardens. The canteen right next door is there to quench your thirst or satiate your hunger and nearby Swanson St offers endless options if slush puppies and burger rings aren't your style.
Since the upgrade a few years ago City Park is now comprised of blocks, hips, bowled corners, quarters, a flat bar, hubbas rails and more. The park handles crowds extremely well as it's set out in a way that allows multiple people to skate the park in unity.

In a suburb populated by those who consider dreadlocks a viable option is Fitzroy Bowls. Surrounded by lush green grass, fauxhemian fire-twirlers and YOHO Diablo-ers, the bowls are a great place to meet people of the "I used to skate" persuasion. Grab a beer, sit down and revel in their reviving the alleged glory days.
Fitzroy Bowls also consists of two bowls of different heights, adjoined by a hump and a spine. The coping has taken a mild bashing over the years but it's nothing to text your mum about. "Fitzy" is an excellent place for a lazy afternoon ale and shralp. If, after consuming all those mid-session beers, you've developed a thirst for more, a world of malt, hops, yeast and water awaits you on Brunswick St., a people watching mecca.

Lincoln is Melbourne's answer to Philadelphia's Love Park and legendary Melbourne skateboarder Richard Flude is to Lincoln what Josh Kalis was to Love; 'Fludey' can be seen carelessly stringing poetic lines together on any given day. According to Richard, Lincoln is "amazing for manuals, stairs and slappies" and it "gets more skateboarders than most skateparks these days."
The Square is situated just of Swanson St in the same vicinity as RMIT uni and directly opposite a tram stop, which make it all too easy to get to. If you're partial to a good pizza, carbonara or tiramisu, Lygon St is a five minute tram ride away.

Use the free internet to check your Facebook, tweet Lara Bingle and update your blog with all those super edgy shots of you and your friends in Melbourne's ultra-urban, graffiti-riddled alleyways that you've surely taken by now, then go outside and stake your claim on Melbourne's illustrious library wall. Notable tricks executed on the library wall include Marc Johnson's back lip, Spanky's switch boardslide revert and Matthew Moopie's particularly stylish frontside tailslide.
Made famous in the cult classic "Tweakage" videos of the 90's, the State Library has been consistently covered by the four-wheeled paparazzi since and holds a staple spot on any self-respecting Melbourne skaters hit list due to its stairs, smooth ground, pleasant atmosphere and central location.

Far Far Away
Title: Far Far Away
Author: Tom McNeal
KDL Description:
"Jeremy Johnson Johnson is protected by and can communicate with the ghost of Jacob Grimm, one of the Brothers Grimm, famous for writing fairytales. As the story unfolds, Jeremy's life becomes a fairytale, and it may not end happily ever after. This story was perfect, magical, and unforgettable! I loved the well-developed characters, the use of language, and the intriguing and unique plot."—Kris at KDL's Comstock Park branch
Amazon Description:
National Book Award Finalist
A dark, contemporary fairy tale in the tradition of Neil Gaiman.
Jeremy Johnson Johnson hears voices. Or, specifically, one voice: the ghost of Jacob Grimm, one half of The Brothers Grimm. Jacob watches over Jeremy, protecting him from an unknown dark evil whispered about in the space between this world and the next.
But Jacob can't protect Jeremy from everything. When coltish, copper-haired Ginger Boultinghouse takes a bite of a cake so delicious it's rumored to be bewitched, she falls in love with the first person she sees: Jeremy. In any other place, this would be a turn for the better for Jeremy, but not in Never Better, where the Finder of Occasions—whose identity and evil intentions nobody knows—is watching and waiting, waiting and watching. . . And as anyone familiar with the Brothers Grimm know, not all fairy tales have happy endings.
Veteran writer Tom McNeal has crafted a young adult novel at once grim(m) and hopeful, full of twists, and perfect for fans of contemporary fairy tales like Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Holly Black's Doll Bones. The recipient of five starred reviews, Publishers Weekly called Far Far Away "inventive and deeply poignant."

Troy, N.Y. Since the idea of using DNA to create faster, smaller, and more powerful computers originated in 1994, scientists have been scrambling to develop successful ways to use genetic code for computation. Now, new research from a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute suggests that if we want to carry out artificial computations, all we have to do is literally look around.
Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science Mark Changizi has begun to develop a technique to turn our eyes and visual system into a programmable computer. His findings are reported in the latest issue of the journal Perception.
Harnessing the computing power of our visual system, according to Changizi, requires visually representing a computer program in such a way that when an individual views the representation, the visual system naturally carries out the computation and generates a perception.
Ideally, we would be able to glance at a complex visual stimulus (the software program), and our visual system (the hardware) would automatically and effortlessly generate a perception, which would inform us of the output of the computation, Changizi said.
Changizi has begun successfully applying his approach by developing visual representations of digital circuits. A large and important class of computations used in calculators, computers, phones, and most of today's electronic products, digital circuits are constructed from assemblies of logic gates, and always have an output value of zero or one.
"A digital circuit needs wire in order to transmit signals to different parts of the circuit. The 'wire' in a visual representation of a digital circuit is part of the drawing itself, which can be perceived only in two ways," said Changizi, who created visual stimuli to elicit perceptions of an object tilted toward (an output of one) or away (an output of zero) from the viewer. "An input to a digital circuit is a zero or one. Similarly, a

In this post I'm going to concentrate on Shen macros; some familiarity
with basic Shen and Common Lisp macros is assumed. In Shen, as in
traditional Lisp style, code is data and data is code. Shen code is read
in as a list datastructure:
(+ 1 2) becomes
[+ 1 2]. Shen macros are
functions that pattern match on the list representation of code at read
time in order to rewrite it. This pattern matching is very similar to
some Scheme macro systems (which I've not used before) though in Shen
our macro language is the same as our language for function definition.
The syntax for a Shen macro is as follows:
\* defmacro syntax *\
(defmacro macro-name
\* 1st pattern match *\ -> \* rewrite rule 1 *\
\* 2nd pattern match *\ -> \* rewrite rule 2 *\
\* ... *\)
The first argument to defmacro is the macro's name. This is not the same
as a Common Lisp defmacro where the name is used to indentify where the
macro should expand, i.e.
(macro-of-great-justice ...) but is the name
of the function that operates at read time on the list representation of
the code. Then, using identical syntax to define, a number of pattern
matches with associated rewrite rules can be supplied.
In this first example I'll show something reasonably useful: a pipe
operator. This operator is used in F# (and trivial to implement in
OCaml) and Clojure with slightly different syntax. In normal
S-expression function application the inner S-exp is the first to be
evaluated with evaluation moving outwards. The textual representation is
'backwards' compared to the order of the computation. A pipe operator
allows us to write out a computation in the order we would consider it
occuring. For example, if we want to apply (in order) functions
D to
x we would typically write:
(D (C (B (A x)))). In F# with the
pipe operator we could rewrite this as
x |> A |> B |> C |> D and in
(-> x A B C D). For the Shen pipe operator I will use the
following syntax
(>> x A B C D). The code for this macro is shown below.
(defmacro pipe
[>> X F | Fs] -> [>> [F X] | Fs])
The macro is given the name pipe but again this name will not be used when we want to use the operator. The macro operates thus:
The first line states that if we see an S-expression starting with
and two arguments (here we use the place holder symbols
X and
F) we want
to rewrite that S-expression to give the application of
F to
X, i.e.
The second line states if we see an S-expression starting with
>> and
three or more arguments (
Fs) we want to rewrite that S-expression
to apply the pipe operator to the value
[F X] and some other functions
If more than one function is supplied the macro will recur on the second
rule until a single function remains at which point the first rule
triggers and the macro expansion is complete.
Using this in the repl:
(1-) (define sq X -> (* X X))
(2-) (>> 2 sq sq sq)
As I mentioned above the first argument to defmacro names the read time
function operating on the list representation of the Shen code. This
really is a function and can be called as such: calling
(pipe [>> 2 sq
sq]) will yield the first iteration of the pipe macro. Shen provides the
function macroexpand which will output to completion the macroexpansion
of a form using all the currently loaded macros (in Common Lisp a
similar thing is achieved with macroexpand-1).
(3-) (pipe [>> 2 sq sq])
[>> [sq 2] sq]
(4-) (pipe (pipe [>> 2 sq sq]))
[sq [sq 2]]
I'm tempted to claim (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that Shen macros are slightly more general than Common Lisp defmacros because they can be triggered on an arbitrary pattern match of code instead of being triggered by a macro name in the 1st position of a sexp as in Common Lisp. Here's an example, we can rewrite the pipe macro to work infix as in F# with the following code1.
(defmacro pipe-infix
[X >> F >> | Fs] -> [[F X] >> | Fs])
In the repl:
(2-) (2 >> sq >> sq >> sq)
I hope you've found these basic examples helpful. In future I would like to talk more about the differences between Shen macros and Common Lisp macros (e.g. why Shen doesn't have quasiquote/unquote/unquote-splicing).
