The brain is often compared to a supercomputer. It can process an incredible amount of information in an unbelievably short amount of time. God specially designed our brains to instantly interpret pictures into a 3D world, even when they're 2D. This, along with other traits of the brain, has inspired many of the illusions that we love so much.
Illusions that trick our eyesight, called optical illusions, take advantage of our brain's ability to fill in gaps about the visible world. We don't actually have to "see" everything to "get it." Our brain processes information quickly, even when the information is incomplete. Normally that is a huge advantage. When we're in familiar situations, our minds are especially good at making instant assumptions. Shapes and experiences from the past help form the way you think about the present. You are more prone to see what you expect.
Different types of illusions play off different patterns of thinking.
—Excerpt from " Experiment: What You See Isn't Always What You Get", Answers magazine, Vol. 7, No. 2
Would you like to experiment with optical illusions? Read the remainder of the article, Experiment: What You See Isn't Always What You Get and try out the optical illusions at the end of the article with an adult's help.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 12/7/12
According to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Reds have re-signed OF Ryan Ludwick pending a physical. Contract details have not been released, but Ludwick had a two-year offer from the Reds believed to be in the $13 to $14 million range. Ludwick, 34, revived his career with Reds posting a slash of .275/.346/.531 with 26 home runs and 80 RBI in 422 at-bats this season. The Mets were said to have interest in Ludwick, but never made an offer or met with his agents in Nashville. All together now, sigh…

Accidents happen. Recently, a 20-year-old man driving down Ocean Parkway crashed his car into a female pedestrian. Witnesses say he stopped the car, got out and took a look at the 70-year-old victim lying in the street. Then, he took off and left the scene.
"Suddenly," says one of the 61st Precinct Highway Safety Unit officers, "an accident turns into a crime."
The courts call it leaving the scene of an accident. The reporters on TV call it a hit-and-run. The cops call it a crime and if it results in personal injury to a human being on foot or on a bike, it's punishable by jail time in addition to fines and court costs.
The young man depicted in the scenario above was hunted down and arrested by 61st Precinct detectives and highway safety officers.
Why would someone hurt or kill another human being in an accident and then flee? Amber Cafaro, the dynamic officer heading up the Highway Safety Unit at the 61st Precinct answers that such people are "nervous, think this could cause trouble for themselves, or have suspended licenses or no insurance."
But Cafaro wants future offenders to know that "we will see your plate number even if you think no one was there and no one saw you. Cameras record these events and witnesses speak out and you will get arrested for leaving the scene and go straight to Central Booking, we promise you that."
According to Cafaro, "Pedestrian injuries from accidents are up 100 percent from this time last year." This grim statistic includes hit-and-stops, as well as hit-and-runs. And that's too much.
Cafaro says the most popular days for car crashes in southern Brooklyn's residential neighborhoods covered by the 61st Precinct

A Quorum-Based Framework for Establishing Control Channels in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
Establishing a control channel for medium access control is a challenging problem in multi-channel and Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) networks. In the design of multi-channel MAC protocols, the use of channel (or frequency) hopping techniques (a.k.a. parallel rendezvous) have been proposed to avoid the bottleneck of a single control channel. In DSA networks, the dynamic and opportunistic use of the available spectrum require that the radios are able to "Rendezvous" - i.e., find each other to establish a link. The use of a dedicated global control channel simplifies the rendezvous process but may not be feasible in many opportunistic spectrum sharing scenarios due to the dynamically changing availability of all the channels, including the control channel.

Gear Review
Climbasaruous Rex
Great Value
I was looking for a three season 2 person tent in the $200 range. I was astonished to find this steal at $160. This tent has great value because it is less than 4pounds without the shipping box. I tested the rain fly with a hose. It worked great until water was sprayed under the zipper flap. Having an area under the tarp to put muddy shoes and backpacks is space saver in a small tent. The one problem I do have is the stakes it comes with are junk because they are bendable and should be replaced. I recommend the MSR Tituim stakes because they are light and very strong. I would recommend this to anyone.

Letter: The beauty of brevity
Would it be better to leave my umbrella in my car or take it into the office, and should I wear a light coat, a heavy coat or no coat at all? These are the earth-shattering decisions in my life that routine weather forecasts may play some moderate part in.
Despite the extensive hand waving by forecasters over animated, multicolored, light-blinking maps that sometimes cover vast areas extending even to the far reaches of Texas, I am sometimes caught short in being properly prepared for the weather. Even with radars having scary names such as Viper and with the secrets that can only be revealed on the 10 o'clock news, I sometimes am caught without my umbrella or with a light coat on a day that has turned uncomfortably cold.
So, it was with considerable affirmative head nodding and frequent grinning and chuckling that I read your Dec. 2 letter "Too much news" questioning, among other things, why painfully detailed and frequently repeated weather forecasting is apparently thought to be essential to our survival.
I realize that television stations are businesses and that somehow news of the weather apparently draws in revenue to the supporting stations. But can't there somehow be even one station that finds that routine weather forecasts can be adequately covered in the brief manner that all radio stations have seemed to find adequate for several decades?

He just released his brand new solo song 'Anywhere But Here,' which features twangy guitars and his inimitable, soul stirring and richly emotional vocals.

Let me start off by saying that I started off using Poser 8 not long after it first came out. So ALL of my Gen 4 stuff is in Poser format and in my Poser runtimes. When Genesis came along I dithered until Gen5 came out and i switched to daz. I've been using this since and find it far easier to use. However, now I'm starting in character creation I need to make sure my characters work in Poser too, and will need to do promo renders in Poser.
From what I've gathered so far I need to have the Daz files and convert them to Poser CF to get them to work with Genesis in Poser. But if all my Gen4 clothes are already in Poser format, is there another way I can get them to fit to Genesis properly? A way that doesn't mean I have to re-download all the clothes i want to use, add them to daz, only to convert them to Poser CFs.
Using V4/M4 clothes on Genesis in P9?

Prooflike MS 64 1830 Quarter Eagle--An Upper-End Condition Census Piece1830 MS 64 NGC. From an original mintage of 4,540 pieces, only several dozen 1830 quarter eagles are believed to survive today. Taglione proposed a population of 75 to 85 examples, far fewer than other estimates of up to 200 pieces, and from our experience we tend to favor this lower estimate. The survival rate of this series is remarkably low, compounded by the mass meltings of this and other denominations as the intrinsic value of the coin exceeded its face value. However, that being said, the 1830 is possibly the most available issue of the Small Planchet type with a small number of near-mint and mint state pieces certified. This is a well struck example that has bright, prooflike fields which upon close examination reveal shallow planchet flaking toward the rims on each side (really only a minor surface disturbance and barely noticeable without magnification). Bright orange-gold color, a couple of small milling marks are located in the right obverse field out from star 12. Very scarce in such a superior state of preservation. Population: 1 in 64, only 5 finer (10/97). (NGC ID# 25FL, PCGS# 7670)

I told him just to forget about it. There's definitely some shenanigans happening in their billing department which my financial info doesn't need to be a part of.
I have NEVER heard of a SSN being asked for to complete a purchase of a product before- definitely something is going on.

Author. J. Winston Coleman was born November 5, 1898, in Lexington, Ky. He was educated in private and public schools in Lexington and received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kentucky. For several years he engaged in the construction business with his friend, John W. Davis, Sr. but in 1936 he took over the operation of the family farm, where he built, two miles north of town, the home "Winburn". His adventures into the literary field began in the early 1930's and he became one of the state's most respected historians, authors and collectors of Kentuckiana. Some of his most well known works include STAGECOACH DAYS IN THE BLUEGRASS (1935), SLAVERY TIMES IN KENTUCKY (1940), FAMOUS KENTUCKY DUELS (1953), LEXINGTON DURING THE CIVIL WAR (1968) and HISTORIC KENTUCKY (1967).
These are the microfilm copies of the scrapbooks of J. Winston Coleman containing newspaper articles, photographs and documents relating to Kentucky history. Most of the contents are related to Coleman and his works. Items of personal interest including family histories of the Payne and Sutton families and papers from Coleman's grandfather concerning his businesses of rope making and logging manufacturing are present. Documents on church histories, historic buildings and funerals are among the papers as well as eulogies and slave related materials. Several documents relate to John Hunt Morgan including legal cases and his marriage to Rebecca G. Bruce in 1848.
References to Joel T. Hart, Henry Clay letters and documents, articles about William (King) Solomon, material on the Harp Brothers, letters from Jesse Stuart, Hatfield-McCoy feud items, references to the Beachamp-Sharp duel and Belle Brezing articles are some of the documents incorporated into Coleman's scrapbooks.

Rothert and many photographs of historic Kentucky, Lexington landmarks as well as famous personalities and dignitaries.

Captain Andrew Ladd's second goal of the game at 3:12 of overtime completed a comeback from a three-goal deficit as the visiting Winnipeg Jets prevented the Florida Panthers from clinching their first playoff spot in 12 years with a 5-4 victory on Tuesday. Ladd scored the tying goal at 53 seconds of the third period as the Jets erased a 3-0 deficit and delivered the game-winner to send the Panthers to their seventh loss in eight games (1-2-5). Marco Sturm, Kris Versteeg, Tomas Fleischmann and Tomas Kopecky scored for Florida, which needs one point in its final two games to win the Southeast Division title. Defenseman Zach Bogosian and Bryan Little had a goal and an assist apiece and Evander Kane also tallied for Winnipeg, which earned a split of the six-game season series.

First off, I'll believe the Mets are signing Michael Bourn when I see them introduce him at a news conference and present him with a ceremonial cap and jersey. So, the debate over the type of draft pick they should forfeit for him probably is a pointless exercise. Oh, the Mets' interest in Bourn is serious, according to major league sources. Heaven knows they need outfielders. They have only $33.55 million in commitments for 2014, according to Cot's Baseball Contracts, giving them the flexibility to sign Bourn -- or any free agent, for that matter -- to a back-loaded deal. But forgive me for being skeptical. Yes, the Mets locked up third baseman David Wright with an eight-year, $138 million extension in November. But over the past three offseasons, they've signed only one free agent for more than $3.5 million -- reliever Frank Francisco, who received $12 million. Tip money for Albert Pujols. Now the Mets are going to spend on Bourn, a 30-year-old center fielder whose value will ...

What channel should a new Trek TV series be on?

Re: What channel should a new Trek TV series be on?
AviTrek wrote:
I think Showtime is the most likely because TV production is being kept in house these days.
If Showtime won't take it and CBS is committed to launching the show I see TNT
Thanks for clearing that up
In a sense after consideration I do agree somewhat with
Temis the Friendly Ghost
HBO and Showtimes' audience does not think of
Star Wars
Star Trek
as "good things" or worth their attention. You gotta think "snob appeal,"
With HBO developing 2 scifi series already mentioned above Showtime may come up with their own scifi genre original series but I do not think it would be the Star Trek franchise which would involve some higher licensing fees and it would be a risky position as would Showtime think they would gain X number of subscribers with the next 13-episode Star Trek TV series season 1? This sounds like a very similar situation to Sirius satellite radio
when they signed Howard Stern up in 2004
for a 5-year contract.
Howard Stern...who is capable of changing the face of satellite radio and generating huge numbers of subscribers for SIRIUS."
The difference (besides being radio and not TV) is that Showtime being a premium cable channel does not have
any advertisers
that would be interested in reaching the Star Trek viewer demographics.
Another difference is Star Trek according to the The TV Parental Guidelines system in the US is mostly TV-PG with some exceptions for some ENT episodes (especially in season 3) which were rated TV-14 mentioned in this thread
TV Parental Guidelines system episodes initial run on UPN
Star Trek does not really require a TV-MA rating on broadcast TV and thus would
not benefit specifically
from being on a premium channel to show graphic violence, explicit sexual situations/nudity, extremely crude or indecent language (like Howard Stern's show is known for and benefits from as it isn't under the same FCC rules as regular broadcasting).
Star Trek XI
had a PG-13 rating to get the younger teen crowd as fans and CBS Television would need to keep that audience for the Nielsen ratings younger groups under 25 no matter what channel they were on.

The Art World Redefined Through Contemporary Slang
A recent article in The Guardian brought attention to Urban Dictionary entries that redefine the giants of literature through contemporary slang. They range from the stupid (JK Rowling: being under the effects of cannabis (J) and ketamine (K)), to the sublime (Kerouac: to wander aimlessly for the giddy thrill). The New York Daily News cited the entries as being a "history of literature as seen by millions of 17-year-olds today," but as The Guardian points out, some familiarity with the writer's canon is required to make the quips successful — which means there has to be some literacy at play here.
We wanted to see if the same rules applied to the art world, so we clung to our brain cells (just in case) and went digging through Urban Dictionary's website for slang versions of famous artists and related works. See what we found past the break, and let us know if you have your own redefinitions to contribute. (Diebenkorn, for instance, is just screaming for appropriation.)

As with most of Welsh's writing, Filth bucks and ripples with the heavy brogue of Scottish vernacular, with it's roots in Gaelic, Norse and Middle English, along with the occasional term borrowed from Jamaican immigrants and African American music.
This seems to annoy and confuse many readers still virgins to Edinburgh inner city slang. However, hope is in site. Look up "snogging" or "the craft", or generalize with "Scottish slang" on most internet search engines, and you'll be moving along nicely in no time. In step with Shakespeare, Hemmingway, Joyce and Salinger, Welsh shapes, moves, and often rips violently, the English language. Sure, a little research is needed, but if you're hungry for a reading experience the intellectual equivalent of a drunken fist fight at 2:30am in a strip club parking lot, Welsh is your man, and Filth may very well be your novel. If you're content with linguistic tea biscuits and verbal aromatherapy, I hear Oprah's got some lovely book ideas.

This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
This book certainly gives me a new perspective of police officers in my society. Welsh threw in any mordant situations in this one. Bruce Robertson, a police who has power in his grasps but not for liberal or righteous reasons. He was a manipulative man, loads of debauchery, loathesome friends, incredibly bad hygene and to top it off, he has a bit of a rash. Practically, all he ever wanted was his vacation and a promotion but on the way he found himself in a bind, sordid crimes, racial murder, his wife being in Australia with his daughter, it was all too much for him. He was in numerous liaisons with women that are fairly close to him. His real father detested him and also by most of his colleages. The ending was quite a surprise who ever was caught in the story but he had it coming. It was somewhat a twisted fate. Bad karma to think about it. He also had a narrative living being inside of him that told his life story(mainly at the end). Welsh was very vivid through-out the book. Very creative and certainly a winner with this one.
5.0 out of 5 stars roll in the filth...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
Well, it's actually been a little over a year since I read this deliciously twisted piece of literature- and I have yet to get over it. It might be easy for someone to dismiss Welsh as simply going for the gross-out/shock factor with his stories (as they are all written in a similar vein), but, in my humble opinion, it is just as much an art form to plumb the depths of human debauchery and wallow in its excesses as it is to tell tales of a more user-friendly nature. "Filth" is the proof. Just as Richard Pryor gave artistic credibility and validity to the use of profanity- say that ten times fast- Irvine Welsh demonstrates that life's stories involve raw, disgusting, infected matter as well as pleasant. You don't see many characters in books, movies, etc. that have a tapeworm (yikes!) or severe cases of rash... in the nether regions-- does that mean they don't exist? Tales of murderers, rapists, junkies exist in literature- these are not novel concepts- but, Welsh pushes the extremes to such a degree that even as your cringing it is not without a hint of delight. His brilliant style of writing, especially concerning the vivid formation of eccentric characters, is completely captivating. You will actually find yourself cheering him on to push it further, take it deeper, scrape up more filth (no pun intended) to heap on top. The story? Not much should be said; to give away too much would be unforgiveable. Our hero, Bruce Robertson, despite his many physical ailments- one of them helps narrate the story- is still anxiously anticipating an upcoming vacation to the Netherlands for a romp through the fields of sex and drugs. A violent murder takes place in the city in which he lives and works; if it weren't for the fact that Bruce works for the Department of Law Enforcement, and is also seeking a valuable promotion, he'd be able to pack his bags sooner. Let the investigation begin... Every page of this novel seethes with the raw energy that pervades all of Welsh's work: his characters are always fascinating, even when they're despicable. I love Welsh for being absolutely unafraid to be incorrigible and unconventional- he seems to challenge you, dare you, to throw the book down and wash your hands of it! I urge you to take him up on the challenge! And, his ingenious use of the helpful tapeworm co-narrator gives your eyes something new to look at; literary "devices" like this are what put Irvine Welsh in a category all his own! DON'T LISTEN TO THE POOH-POOHers! This guy's the solution for boring, run-of-the-mill reading.

Un Anglophile (Davis, California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
The beginning of the twenty-first century is supposed to be a grand time filled with optimism; the things of the past can be swept away, erased or pushed underneath the carpet to make the house look cleaner. However the brave new world of our present will always have its deep scratches that are hard to wipe off with soap. So hard to get rid of sometimes that the scratch will only spread, lining every corner of the house until there's nothing left to scratch, and will turn in on itself to go only deeper till it becomes exhausted, decimated.
Welsh's "Filth" is a novel that proves this world is hardly perfect. In his creation, Welsh brings us the misanthrop Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson of the Royal Lothian Constabulary (the police force that covers central eastern Scotland, including Edinburgh). On the onset, Robertson seems like a policeman who's probably been on the force a few years, seen enough things to make him a tad-bit pessimistic about the world, but ultimately knows what he's doing. But very quickly does the reader find out that Robertson is anything but the model policeman. Robertson, who narrates the whole story using his Scottish dialect, sprinkled here and there with slang he picked up from London, is the kind of policeman that would make ACLU laywers go gonzo with lawsuits. Robertson deliberately makes his police hours--in this case, the murder of the son of a African diplomat--his own hours, filled with long overtimes consisting of trying to do things with as many prostitutes and stray women as possible, while his own wife has left him. He also uses the time to go out with fellow unproductive police officers, complaining about everything from socialists, homosexuals, the Labour Party, English wankers taking over native Scotland, soccer players and blacks, which infuriate Robertson so much that his racism beckons the reader to hate him.
Does the word "pig" come to mind by any chance? Just curious.
Robertson in essence is the thorn in the stomach of the productive race relations which have been continuing since the end of the sour Thatcher era and onwards into late 1990s Britain. As demonstrated in one part of book beautifully when a fellow officer tries to talk about why American gangsta-rap is popular in lower-income homes, Robertson can only reply how he loved it when it was "open season" on ethnic minorities in the past police departments he'd served in, from London to New South Wales.
With his racism clear, as well as a murder that he hardly investigates and a string of extramartial affairs that seem to be pulling him in all directions, nothing can get worse for our anti-hero. Instead it goes deeper. He's also suffering from a badly infected case of eczema. Not to forget that he has tapeworms, which constantly remind him of a conscience, on how things got to this point in the first case. Welsh very effectivly (and very originally) places the tapeworms' comments on Bruce (the Host) right in the middle of his banter on life, smudging the middle of the pages like a bubbling pipe.
Through the course of the book, we witness Bruce do everything and anything possible to make you think that he is indeed filth. Everything from the sacrificing of his supposed friendships with fellow officers in order to recieve the promotion he thinks he deserves, to innocent bystanders who just so happen to be within his destructive sway. Or his messy cocaine habit shared by fellow misanthropic Lothian officer Ray Lennox, who seems to be Bruce's twin in every shape and idea.
From "Filth"'s violent beginning to self-destructing end, this is a book that grabs your attention; even if you can't stand him, you begin to like Bruce, despite his deeply-flawed past and his twisted present. Filled with moments of drama, comedy and grizzly depictions of life on Edinburgh's other side that tourists don't see, "Filth" is bound to be sat next to Welsh's other gem, "Trainspotting," which itself was a landmark in modern-day British fiction. Like Chuck Palahniuk's "Survivor," this is a narrative that is ultimately heading towards somewhere whether the reader likes it or not. We stand with helplessness and laugh.
2.0 out of 5 stars Perplexing:,
J. Rossi (Downers Grove, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
As in, "I am perplexed that this book was even published." The title of the novel serves a duel purpose, alerting the reader to the content of the narative and the quality of the book. Welsh seems to have forgotten the strong characters that populated his wonderful "Trainspotting" and instead focuses on depravity and shock value. Also, there are no strong supporting characters, forcing DS Bruce Robretson to shoulder the load, which is clearly a bad idea. DS Robertson is the most vile human being you'll ever meet, but there is no explanation for his actions until the novel is nearly over. The lack of any depth in the main character makes it impossible to read because you keep waiting for some sort of explanation or background, but it doesn't arrive until the very end of the book. The first 350 pages are merely strung together anecdotes that don't propel the plot or develop the characters. Oh, and when I say plot I mean no plot.
The lack of any story makes this a grueling read because nothing happens. The murder case that was supposed to be the main element fades away quicker than a bad TV sitcom, and is not even a mystery once you pass page 50.
What this book boils down to is coke-fueled shenanigans that disgust but do little to help the reader connect with the characters. Welsh strives to show how disgusting human nature can be and tries to show the dark parts of humanity we all harbor. That he fails is disheartening, but had he succeeded it would have been truly filthy.
3.0 out of 5 stars The Train Derails at the Last Stop,
Jeffrey R. Buckley (Boston,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
After the blockbuster Trainspotting and the equally brilliant but unrecognized Marabou Stork Nightmares, comes this novel Filth. One thing is for certain - Welsh writes brilliantly in the scottish slang vernacular and he has an ability to deliver one powerful ending after another. He is a deranged O'Henry. 3/4 of the novel is shocking, disgusting, revolting, hilarious, and all the other adjectives used when describing Welsh's talents and his prose style. The tapeworm and its philosophical musings is hilarious, irrelevent, and original. The actual ending is shocking but the events leading up to the final scene get away from Mr. Welsh. Yes, his relations with his wife are absolutely jaw-dropping(Can't go into detail, just read and you will see) but I just didn't feel like Bruce's past from the coal mines should have been told by the tapeworm. He left out information vital to the story and had the tapeworm fill the reader in. Pretty weak narrative device. But i am an admirer of Welsh and his original voice so I still enjoyed the novel. It is just flawed, that's all. Just don't ever let your guard down when reading this book. He will surprise you with a few scenes here and the ending is true to the title Filth.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Psychopath on The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown,
Mr. Cairene (Cairo, Egypt) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
Filth is one depraved piece of writing. Without warning or pause we are bombarded with the uncensored, delightfully preverse, bitter, vindictive and spectacularly cruel first person narration of Detective Sargent Bruce Robertson. Through numerous and intentionally repetitive tales of sodomy, pornography, blackmail, theft, intimidation and just about every other crime there is, the reader stops, looks away from the book and towards the ceiling with a soft gasp and a little smile on his/her face. The delight the reader feels is that of a voyeur.
But it doesn't last, the comedy I mean. It masks the uglyness for a while, but the direction is downhill. Welsh deceptively gives the impression that he is not in the driver's seat, that this whole book is a door opened from this pervert's mind and all you get is his bigotry. And as you enjoy this temporary abandon of moral restraint Welsh gives you a one sentence paragraph "HOW DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?" Weather good old honest to Satan Bruce is harrassing his best friend's wife on the phone, the same bespectacled friend he takes to Amesterdam "to go whoring for Scotland", the same friend so in need of his spectacles that Bruce is naturally delighted to crush them under his boots while the big oaf sleeps. Preversely hysterical stuff, but there is Welsh again with "HOW DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?". By the time Bruce is burning his boss's hardwork on a screenplay, it not very funny anymore, it is pathetic. I know this a difficult concept for some to understand, but the book's very lack of moral prespective redeems it. There is no pop physcology here. The less perceptive among its readers will laugh a little longer, but all readers will eventually realise that Bruce Robertson is digging his own grave.
In my first review I made clear my dislike for the tapeworm narration. I still dislike it, it is an ingenious and original device. But it is a "Device" and goes against the stream of consciencness approach. Maybe he had to include it, just to point the way.
Filth is a virtual reality experience, for a few hundred pages YOU ARE BRUCE ROBERTSON. Therefore you want him to get that promotion, to get the better of his enemies and getaway with his crimes, no matter how vicious they maybe. Everything seems different froom the inside looking out. Towards the end Bruce (and inturn you the reader) gets to see himself from the outside, from his colleages' point of view, and its a tragic sight. After its over get up, look at a mirror and ask yourself "HOW DID THAT MAKE ME FEEL?".
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun With Feces and the Unbearable Heavyness of Being Bruce,
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
Irvine Welsh has a fetish for feces and things in life that make the average man run for the toilet -- both to throw up and pray for a cleaner world. A parasite lingering in the syphillised open pussing scab of Detective Bruce Robertson's body narrates part of "Filth".
This is likely the darkest novel I have ever read, so grotesque and unrelenting, exploring a horrid level of depravity that is almost refreshing in its baseness. I was struck with the thought of how this novel could improve (on the disgust-o-meter) I was at a loss. It defeated my imagination. It was wonderful. No punches pulled...
This is not Trainspotting, and is all the better for not being that. The same great style and wit is present in a tighter story -- ridden mercilessly by a wonderful talent for characterization.
I loved "Filth". For me it breathes hope into modern novels -- there is unexplored ground left. Who knows what critical praise this recieved -- but for me Welsh has created something wholly unforgettable, -- no matter how much you might want to forget you ever knew the narrator.
5.0 out of 5 stars For the tapeworm in us all,
mark bokser (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
Welshs' Bruce Robertson has not one redeeming personal quality that is required for our co-existence as a society. After all, he is a liar, thief adulterer,racist;a drunk with a "wee" coke problem,a gay basher with no respect for his superiors and especially women in authority/general. The books Scottish dialect does take some getting used to especially its rhryming slang, but it is brutally honest as far as seeing life in the first person of a true "sociopath" whose progressive demise into the abyss is at the same time very gratifying, yet very depressing, for Bruce took "life" for granted. He was fortunate in that he had a family,friends and freedom but his insecurities and selfishness fuelled his need to destroy others, so that in effect if he couldnt enjoy life then no-one else would.He was jealous of anyone that dared to live a life that he could so have easily attained. This was a brilliant book,a laugh a minute -no even a second - but its message far exceeds this aspect and after all the schemes,backstabbing,prostitutes,drugs and ointment you could poke a stick at, this was all that this masterful storyteller was trying to say. This book could not have been called anything else and I'll never be able to look at a pig again without thinking of Bruce. "We hate ourself for being unable to be other than what we are" Irwin Welsh - "Filth"
5.0 out of 5 stars Irvine Welsh---A Sobering Perspective,
By A Customer
This review is from: Filth (Paperback)
Irvine Welsh didnt read much fiction, before becoming a novelist, and therefore he has no regard for lit norms. He has a fresh, sobering point of view that seeths through all of his work. "Filth" his newest novel, that takes place in the same literary universe as "Trainspotting" and "Marabou Stork Nightmares,"(Begbie, and Lexo are mentioned in all three novels, and many others are mentioned in two of the three) is another must read by this talented author.
"Trainspotting" is about the junkies, "Marabou Stork Nightmares" is about the thugs, and now we see the point of view of a policeman in "Filth."
Irvine Welsh does a little more chiseling away at our xenophobia, he creates characters that are so lifelike they jump off the pages at you. "Filth" is about a nasty cop, but you almost find yourself rooting for him, hoping he gets his promotion, and that he can keep his superiors happy. Irvine Welsh has been called the voice of the chemical generation, and drugs are commonly dispersed in the plots of his novels, but that is all beside the point. His social commentary, and perspective are invaluable. A naturally gifted "writer" who keeps you turning the pages, following characters that seem all too familiar.
As far as a brief synopsis of the novel, read the back cover, i wouldnt want to give anything away. It's a must read....along with his previous two novels, and "ecstacy," and "The Acid House"
Irvine Welsh is still young for a novelist, Dostaevski didnt write his best work until he was in his 60's, same goes with bukowski, burroughs, other authors that may interest you if you like irvine welsh. All I can say is, keep it coming Irvine Welsh, and maybe we will see a grand masterpiece in the future. Although he hasnt hurt the collective collection of literature with his work so far. I personally put him up there with the greats, remeniscint of the before mentioned authors. READ IT!!!

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
I strive for balance. I love to express myself physically, exercise, be creative, and have fun with friends. On weekends I like to make bacon and pancakes, then go ride my mountain bike or for a long run, then relax with you in the evening and watch a movie or go to a fun local party with friends. I am passionately committed to a spiritual life, and to helping others overcome challenges and grow. I am fascinated by spiritual people. This is where my strength and patience comes from as a single mother, writer, and spiritual advisor. One can never stop learning! My friends would say I am very loyal, honest, and fun-loving. I have two beautiful, mature, well-behaved children ages 10 and 9. They are a joy to me and I am proud of what they have accomplished and I promise I don't take all the credit! I am preparing my dissertation in pastoral counseling around working with people who have experienced some kind of trauma. I think there is too little support and too few resources for army vets and also women who are victims of violence. I want to change that. I love adventure, but since I have kids it is in smaller doses these days. I have lived in Africa and Egypt, as well as New York City and Atlanta, and I love traveling and learning new languages and about new cultures. I want to meet someone who is also spiritual, a good communicator, loves to travel and try new things, and respects the women who mean the most to him. I believe that any obstacle can be overcome in a relationship if you are willing to talk about it and listen. I love any type of movie except horror movies. I love comedies, and people who are able to laugh at themselves, including me! A little humor goes a long way. I will pay attention to your likes and dislikes, without compromising my dignity or integrity and I believe a man should do the same. I love a man who can listen to me and offer suggestions, support, or simply repeat back to me what I have told him. I love a man who loves the outdoors, who loves to meditate by the beach, who likes silence, who loves kids, and who is open to new things, people, and places. I love generosity, positivity in all forms, hope, and affection. I respect the academic life and intellectual pursuits and I love a man who respects my mind as much as the rest of me. I like to take care of myself in all areas, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, which can be quite a task at times. Do you do the same? I believe that only if you know and love yourself, can you really get to know and love another.

I HAVE to exercise for my general well-being and happiness and for the happiness of those around me. I am in a much better mood when I do. Love all types, especially anything outdoors. I have run 3 marathons and 2 half-marathon and I mountain bike.
