The masterstroke - every inch a jazz masterpiece.
The Hagstrom Jazz Model HJ-600 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar features a spruce top, contoured flamed maple back and sides and maple set neck. The Hagstrom patented H-Expander truss rod provides tension at either end and runs the entire length of the neck. The rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin neck.
Another Hagstrom exclusive, the resinator fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. It offers the articulate sound of high quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable and fast.
Two Hagstrom HJ-50 humbuckers, each with volume and tone, combined with the hollowbody resonance, give the HJ-600 incredible power and range of tone.
The self-lubricating graphite composite nut is much harder than bone or plastic resulting in more string vibration through the neck. Tuning is also improved and string binding is eliminated by self-lubrication.
18:1 Gear Ratio machine heads ensure fully accurate tuning.
The high-grade polyester finish is hard, smooth, and more dense than polyurethane. It looks amazing and provides excellent protection and sonic performance. Case sold separately.

2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Review
This review was written when the 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid was new.
The Highlander Hybrid ranks near the top of its class for offering a spacious interior, smooth ride, and refined hybrid powertrain. However, some feel its price is too steep compared to the non-hybrid Highlander, and it can't match the sportier handling and cargo space of some competitors.
The 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, completely redesigned for 2008, is larger than its predecessor and gets an all-new electric-only mode to improve fuel economy. Most reviewers are pleased with the changes, but it's the hybrid's price that gives them pause. Autobytel compliments the Highlander Hybrid for "added visual appeal, an interior chock-full of desirable features, and a 270-horsepower gas/electric powertrain under its skin," but adds that "we'll wait for pricing and more realistic 2008 EPA fuel economy figures before jumping for joy." Unfortunately, the hybrid demands quite a premium over its gasoline-powered counterpart -- and even over other hybrids, including the Ford Escape Hybrid and Saturn VUE Green Line. Still, the Highlander ranks very well among other hybrid SUVs.
The Highlander Hybrid is available in two trims -- the base and Limited -- in standard four-wheel drive with either five- or seven-seat configurations.
- "Don't buy this car expecting to save on gas. It's doubtful that you will ever come close to recouping the added initial vehicle cost in fuel savings." -- Boston Globe
- "Highlander Hybrid models offer excellent fuel economy, particularly in the stop-and-go traffic of major metros, along with extremely low emissions. Add in Toyota's reputation for reliability and resale value, and the 2008 Highlander is a wise choice for active families." -- New Car Test Drive
- "We failed to find much that was special about our 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and even with few options, it was expensive. Its hybrid system is its best feature, justifying most of the price." -- CNET
- "[T]he Highlander is definitely the most efficient of the mid-large crossovers and provides good utility for those who need ample space for five plus two on occasion." -- Autoblog Green
- "All-in-all, it's a rough road to find any fault with the 2008 Highlander Hybrid as a DogCar, except that the mileage isn't tail-waggingly wonderful and the price ($38,950 to start) is a bit on the steep side. Otherwise, it's got all four of my paws!" -- DogCars.com

text: When the video of Michelle Trachtenberg spitting Robin Thicke's single "Shakin' It 4 Daddy" made its rounds on the Internet last week, we were surprised to discover the "Gossip Girl" has some skills on the mic. Admit it, she's not half bad — especially for a spontaneous rap being shot by James Van Der Beek while driving through the Holland Tunnel. We were also surprised to learn from our VH1 News friends that even Robin Thicke loves Michelle's rapping. Could we please have a Michelle Trachtenberg cameo on his next track? Someone start a Facebook or Twitter campaign for this. STAT!

"Addiction: When you can give up something any time... as long as it's next Tuesday." ~Lemmy
We human beings tend to get addicted to things rather easily, it seems. Whether we're talking about cocaine or gambling, there seems to be a space in most people that can be filled with the ritual of addiction. That is not to say the space is not legitimate, it most likely is, but our problem is that we don't want to do the internal work required to a) determine what the need actually is (see Maslow's Hierachy of Needs) or b) fill the need in a positive, no-bite-back manner.
We blithely and blindly sail through life throwing all sorts of things at the hollow space inside us, and rather unfortunately, one or several of those things tends to become an acceptable if temporary substitute for what we really need. The basic needs we have truly are legitimate - let's not forget that. And let's not forget that not everyone has the same opportunities to experience those needs being met in positive, nurturing ways. These early experiences tend to form our perspectives on asking for what we need, how we see ourselves in relation to others, and what we think of the needs we do recognize. When these early experiences are consistently negative, the common response is to find ways to meet those needs without regard to others, by manipulating others to fulfill those needs without having to ask, or even, sadly, by refusing to acknowledge that we even have needs. Sometimes. we meet our own needs by sacrificing for others, hoping to get what we need in return - a subtle variation on the manipulation thing.
Addiction manages to temporarily meet the need in a way that the addict can handle. The thing that ties process addictions and substance addictions together, is ritual. There are very few things in life that we can count on to be totally reliable, 100% of the time. Our jobs change, our performance is up and down, even longtime and much-love partners can let us down. But the ritual and the outcome of addiction is the same, every single time. Whether to a process, or a substance. it is the ritual that draws in the addict, that fulfills the need, that is the lover of the addict. ('Lover' or 'mistress' is the most commonly used description by an addict of the place the addiction holds in his/her life)
This ritual follows a well-worn and predictable path. From the triggering event (easily identifiable in the beginning, not so much latterly) to the thoughts, to the actions taken to fulfill the need, it is the ritual which brings a (false) sense of comfort to an addict. Each ritual is unique to its adherent, but the foundational basics are the same. A triggering event produces internal feelings of discomfort or emotional pain, and the person initiates a ritual intended to assuage, or mask, or remove the discomfort. This ritual begins with a thought pattern that eventually becomes so ingrained, that the person no longer feels as if there is an actual decision to engage in the addiction. The person engaging in this ritual takes comfort in the predictability and reliability of the process. For short period of time, "Everything will be right in me and with the world."
The aftermath, however, is more shame, more self-loathing, and the cycle begins again. This is the nature of addiction. Substances also cause physiological dependence which adds to the destructive nature of the addiction. Both types of addiction cause personal anguish. family distress, economic consequences, and eventually, most people's lives implode under the weight of the addiction.
If you think about your life in terms of rituals, you're likely to find things that you do in times of emotional stress that help relieve the internal pressure, and allow you to carry on with your life. For a person with a genetic pre-disposition to addiction, and a chronically stressful life, those ordinary routines can become more than just a temporary 'fix' to an unpleasant situation. Addiction is both a disease and a habit. For anyone caught in that trap, the only way out is the opposite of what got you there in the first place.
Admit you no longer control your own life.
Let others support your process of becoming whole and healthy again.
Ask for help.

Hot site featuring college men in streaming videos and photo galleries. Young men 18-25 having sex and jerking off. 100% New Original Content.
Owen Clarke is a 22 year old senior in college. Standing 6 foot tall and sporting a runners body, Owen is definitely a campus heartthrob. Owen spends a lot of time studying, but he reveals that when he is not buried in his books, he is exploring a kinkier side - he likes a little bit of light bondage when he gets the chance. Luckily for us, Owen was able to break away from school to give us a hot show. He was literally in the middle of finals, but Owen was really excited about jerking off on camera. Owen strips down to reveal a very nice slim and toned body, complete with a little more hair than most guys in his class. Owen works up his dick and begins to jerk off - immediately he gets lost in the great feeling. Owen strokes his cock and puts on a little more lube, and then he gets on his knees to give himself a good fingering! As Owen shoves one and then two fingers up his hole, he gets more excited. Sensually, he strokes and fingers at the same time, before finally he rolls over onto

Prefab houses have become pretty fabulous
You may not be ready to move into a 100-square-foot trailer, but in this day and age, it's not unheard of to seek out beautiful housing solutions that save space, energy, materials and, well, money.
In other words: prefab or modular abodes.
Whether you're actually in the market or just buy-curious, here are a few things worth knowing about the suddenly popular dwelling trend that's attracting some major architects and designers.
The basics Prefab homes are constructed from factory-built (prefabricated) panels that are made in accordance with U.S. building codes. That is to say it's all on the straight and narrow.
The money Cheap. Entire prefab houses can be built for as little as $200,000 since you're cutting down on both crew and material costs. That said, you'll incur other expenses for stuff like installing utilities and a septic system.
The build time Fast. Prefabs can go up in a matter of days.
The durability Impressive. Because they adhere to the same regulations as traditional homes, prefabs have to be durable. Some people think they're even stronger than "stick builts," since they're manufactured in a facility rather than on-site.
The aesthetic Gorgeous! Think on-trend looks, like sleek gas fireplaces and recycled-glass countertops. Check out this slideshow to see just how drool-worthy they can be.

TUCSON, ARIZ.-The New Mexico State University track and field team opened up the outdoor season with the Willie Williams Classic, setting eight new school records and posting a total of 27 top-10 finishes on the weekend.
Junior LaSasha Aldredge finished the day with great results in the 200m and the 400m. Aldredge finished eighth overall in the 200m with a time of 24.32 and finished second overall in the 400m with a time of 54.68. Aldredge's time in the 200m is a new career-best and now places as seventh all-time for NM State.
Senior Jndia Cleveland also had a good meet to open up the outdoor season, finishing third overall in the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.04 and finishing third overall in the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:04.32. In the long jump, Cleveland finished third overall with a mark of 5.63m.
The NM State distance squad notched great finishes for the Aggies in the season-opener. In the 800m, senior Melanie Clay finished seventh overall with a time of 2:15.17. In the 5,000m, senior Madelyn Stoltze set the eighth-highest record when she finished third overall with a time of 17:44.54 and freshman Tamara Lementino finished eighth overall with a time of 18:26.40.
Three Aggies finished in the top five overall in the 3,000m steeplechase. Sophomore Jenna Padilla finished third with a time of 11:47.72, freshman Caroline Lewiecki finished fourth with a time of 11:48.80 and sophomore Gael Sanchez finished fifth with a time of 11:59.42.
NM State finished in the top-5 for two different relay events. In the 4x100m relay, Cleveland, Aldredge, sophomore Alishia Perkins and freshman Jenna Banegas finished fourth overall with a time of 46.39. In the 4x400m relay, Cleveland, Aldredge, Clay and sophomore Zoe Meade finished third overall with a time of 3:50.61.
Three different Aggies finished in the top-10 in each the triple jump and the javelin throw as well.
The Aggies will compete next week at the UTEP Springtime Invitational in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday, March 24.

Building a better robot
Students Emmanuel Njoku and Matt Thompson test out their LEGO robot on a game board. (All photos: Susan Flanigan)
Student Cahlah Chapman likes the technical challenges of building a robot.
Teacher Mark Tao and students Daimere Phillips and Margaret Hangstorfer discuss how to solve a technical problem with their robot.
When he was growing up, Matt Thompson powered his LEGO® creations through his imagination. Now as a high school student at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD), he is animating LEGO robots through computer technology.
"I grew up building with LEGO kits with complicated parts and instructions, making things like ships and helicopters, but I had to push them to make them move. Now in my robotics class, I am designing a working robot that I program to move by itself," said Thompson.
Thompson and 19 other MSSD students work in pairs with LEGO Mindstorms NXT Robot Kits to design, build, and program functional robots that use touch sensors, light sensors, and rotation sensors. "In our robotics course, I introduce the students to the basic concepts of robotics," said science teacher Mark Tao. "We focus on mechanical systems, electronics, and programming. Throughout the year, students work through activities that show how computer technology, mathematics, and science are used to resolve challenges."
The students follow instructions on how to build their creations from LEGO templates, and then they are allowed to modify those creations. "We're building a robot to project a ball to different places on a game board," said Emmanuel Njoku. "If problems appear, we have to problem solve what's not working. Sometimes we have to disassemble and reassemble our model."
Students have an opportunity to roll out their robots as part of a national competition if they join the afterschool Botball club, which competes each spring in the Annual Greater D.C. Regional Botball Robotic Tournament. "Botball gives students hands-on experience and allows them to be creative in science and technology," said Dr. David Synder, a Gallaudet University chemistry and physics professor who mentors the team with Tao.
Last year MSSD students finished in 4th place in the double-elimination tournament and in 10th place in the overall competition-their best performance to date.

This is a continuation of copending application Ser. No. 07/479,981, filed on Feb. 14, 1990, now abandoned.
This invention relates to track exercisers. In particular it relates to such exercisers in which the resistance to forward movement of the runner increases in a controlled manner as running speed increases. In addition it relates to such exercisers having an associated video exercising scene to feedback detailed information to the runner.
Athletic exercising devices are known which can be used by runners off the track to exercise themselves. For the most part these consist of conveyer belts on which the runner can practice. For example U.S. Pat. No. 1,106,729 disclosed a treadmill made up of parallel slats supported on a large number of rollers to maintain a flat upper surface on which a user runs. The user is tethered to a restraining device that prevents him or her from running off the tread. The device also allows use by a pedestrian for walking exercise. The only information fed back to the user is provided by a speedometer which monitors the velocity of the tread.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,017,128 is a similar device, designed to exercise hikers. It also uses a tread-mill type endless belt, having its upper surface supported on a sheet of metal and made of a flexible fabric. The device is designed to be inclinable before use so the hiker may simulate walking "uphill". A tether to restrain the hiker is spring tensioned and connected to the hiker via a belt passing around the hiker's abdomen.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,026,548 is an exercise device allowing a runner to tether himself to a door and to run on the surface of a floor against the bias of a spring. This permits limited indoor exercise by a traveller in, say, a hotel room.
None of the foregoing devices particularly facilitate a training program that takes into account the need of track athletes to develop great aerobic capacity, leg strength and endurance. In particular, each of the foregoing devices seeks only to provide an alternative to running or walking outdoors. It does not enable the user to improve training performance over what could be accomplished outdoors. The present invention on the other hand provides training superior to what the user would be able to accomplish in a more natural environment.
The present invention is a track exerciser which enables and encourages a specific fitness program for exercise, particularly of the aerobic type, for cardio-vascular fitness. The user is held in a tether restraint and runs on a novel hydraulic track exerciser platform designed to stress him or her in a predetermined manner while a metronome provides an audible pace and a screen displays the user's speed, distance accomplished, and other information.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hydraulic track exerciser on which a user runs, wherein the runner's forward movement is opposed by the predetermined variable resistance of spring mounted hydraulic cylinders in a running platform, and in a tethered post.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such an exerciser having monitoring means for determining the state of the runner, in particular, one in which the platform contains a recording device for transmitting information on the rate of the foot strike of the runner to a central control.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such an exerciser having a display system for displaying to the runner information regarding time, speed, heart beat and resistance being employed against the hydraulic system.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide such a system having a computer generated scene of a runner travelling along a road, or track, with all relevant information superimposed on the screen.
It is a yet further object of the present invention to provide a system of programming such an apparatus so that the system functions in a purely automatic mode of instruction, or in response to keyboard commands, or a combination of both.

FIG. 2 is a front plan view of the running platform of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the running platform of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a side plan view of the running platform of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a support wheel for the running platform of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged side plan view of a hydraulic cylinder for the running platform of the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a side plan view of the restraining means and the running platform of the present invention.
FIG. 8 is view of the display screen of the present invention.
The running platform portion of the apparatus in its preferred embodiment is depicted in FIGS. 1-7. In this embodiment a moveable platform 1 is supported by wheels that ride on tracks 3 to enable a short oscillatory motion. A spring-loaded hydraulic mechanism 5, whose details are best seen in FIG. 6 is placed underneath the platform 1 and restrains the motion of the platform. The spring 7 and the hydraulic restriction 9 act to provide controlled resistance, in the manner of an automobile shock absorber, against which the user runs. The amount of resistance may be adjusted by an adjustment of the spring tension, or the hydraulic or pneumatic restriction. The platform oscillates in response to the driving force of the runners foot and tends to return to the initial position while both feet are off the platform; therefore it is not suitable for wa king exercise. The resistance of the platform may be tailored by its mechanism to provide resistive forces substantially greater or less than the wind-resistive and body mass forces experienced outdoors. With this apparatus the runner is able to achieve a rate of cardiac stimulation that is not determined solely by the number of steps per minute (spm) that he takes.
Behind the runner, on the same platform is mounted a tether-post 11 which is pivoted to move backward and forward against hydraulic resistance 13 or a spring load. A lead 15 with a belt 17 attached is connected to the runner's waist to prevent his running off the platform.
A computer generated exercising scene, see FIG. 8, (preferably a runner on a road or track) is shown to the user on a display. Information from the platform on the velocity and rate of oscillation of the platform in cycles per minute is provided to a controller (not shown) for integration into the image on the display or for other use. The user's foot strike (on the hydraulic track) for example controls the speed of the video FIG. 21 in the scene. Sign-posts 23 by the side of the road provide distance information. Other figures on the display, generated by a program or keyboard instruction, can be made to represent target figures to be matched at increasing and decreasing speed. A pulsing FIG. 25 on the screen is a target pacer. A number on his back 27 is the speed (in steps per minute or time) to be duplicated. As exercising speed of the runner approaches that of the pacing figure, it pulses more slowly and then blips out when the speed of the video pacer and that of the exerciser coincide. The speed signal is converted to the reciprocal of speed, i.e. minutes per mile, or seconds per 220, 440 or 880 yards, and is displayed 29 on the monitor. The user's heart rate is monitored by a receiver from a cardiac transducer transmitter on the runner's chest and converted into three digits of beats per minute, and also superimposed on the video monitor.
In use, the runner mounts the platform facing away from the tether-post behind. He attaches the belt around his waist. As he runs, he pulls against the resistance of the hydraulic mounted tether, and pushes backward against the resistance of the spring biased hydraulic platform. While there is little movement in his running position, the effort of every stride he takes is determined by the resistance settings of the tether and the platform.
The hydraulic system increases the resistance to forward movement as the rate of speed increase. In the ordinary running situation, one runs against ones bodyweight, which is constant and relatively light in regard to the greater variable pressure from the tether and platform. As a result, a much greater amount of energy and muscle effort is required to run on the hydraulic track. This leads to the development of a greater aerobic capacity, leg strength and endurance.
It has been found that only aerobic exercises promote cardio-vascular fitness. This is because such exercises significantly increase the continuous flow of blood through the heart and large skeletal muscles. The better aerobic exercises are walking briskly, jogging, cycling at rapid speed, running, swimming, ice or roller skating and rope skipping. To achieve this benefit, the exercises that generally move both arms and legs vigorously have to be sustained at a target level for 20 minutes or longer. For proper training a target level of activity should be maintained between 90 and 95 percent of the maximal attainable heart rate; roughly 220 minus the user's age in years. Women reach the same maximal heart beats as men of comparable age. Exercises at below 70 percent of the target level yields little fitness benefit.
An appropriate fitness program implemented by the present invention should consist of three basic stages; namely, warmup, interval running and cool down. The warmup period should consume 30 to 45 minutes of running and stretching and the heartbeat should be about 110-120 at the warmup period conclusion. Immediately after the warmup period the exercise should be more vigorous until a target level of cardiac activity is reached, and then sustained for a period of time. The cool down period should ease up on the exercise over a 5 to 10 minutes period before stopping. At the end of the cool down period, the pulse should be back to the specified target zone of the heart beat.
This program should be practiced no less than three times weekly. The problem which is dealt with by the present invention is to facilitate the program and to encourage the user to be persistent in the program.
The preferred embodiment of the mechanical aspects of the invention comprises apparatus on which the user runs together with apparatus to monitor appropriate parameters of the program and to display them in a helpful manner. All of the monitored parameters, along with an outdoor exercise display, encourage the use to persist in his or her effort. This is enhanced by the fact that the user may refer to charts or his memory to maintain activity within the target zone and to regulate his output accordingly.
The base pulse performs two functions. It gives a picture of the level of cardiac efficiency and improvement as evidenced by a falling pulse over time, and it gives a measure of how well an athlete is responding to an exercise session by the way the pulse responds. If the base pulse (determined by a reading after 48 hours rest), increases by 10 percent or more, it signals overstress and the athlete is at high risk from possible injury. If the pulse stays between a 3 to 6% increase, that is indicative of increased fitness. If the pulse increase is 0%, then clearly the workout is insufficient. The pattern desired is one of an elevated pulse the rest day after exercising, followed by a falling pulse in another 24 hours, and another elevated pulse after another work session. In a three-session-a-week program, the lowest pulse should occur after the two day rest. This is compared on a weekly basis to determine signs of improvement of cardiac function.
The present invention eliminates one problem of efficient cardiac exercising, by enabling the user to maintain a submaximal level of effort without crossing the line into over-stress. One hundred percent stress causes physiological and psychological breakdown if sustained for long, yet the highest of progress occurs in the region of 95%±≈2.5%. The ability to closely monitor the underlying process enabled by the present invention is very important. By using the heartbeat as the index of stress, and employing the process monitor of the present invention, one is able to set the outer limits of exertion around 95% by controlling the heart beat through the monitoring control of the running speed. After the warm up phase is completed, the runs are done in fast/slow intervals. Once the target pulse has reached approximately 190 beats per minute (b.p.m.), the steps per minute is adjusted in increments to maintain the pulse constant for a given time period.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention the pulse rate becomes the deciding factor to determine the point of termination of the workout; termination could be based on the rate of recovery. A system which detects a recovery pulse above 110 b.p.m. after say 5 minutes would terminate a training session in which the runner's pulse registered 120 b.p.m., thereby terminating the session to avoid going into overstress. Built into the invention is an automatic adjustment of such incidental factors as failure to sufficiently recover from previous sessions, a high level of mental stress, or illness and extreme environmental temperature or humidity. Since the pulse is responsive to all these factors, the target zone would be reached at a lower level of work, and the recovery failure would set in after a shorter period of work. The matter of training would not be decided on the subjective state of appearance, but on solid physiological evidence.
Operation can be provided in two modes: manual and automatic. In the automatic mode, one sets the time/speed for the fast run and the time/speed for the slow recovery run. Given the target heart rates the monitor would maintain the cardiac rate by given incremental amounts of increasing or decreasing rate of steps per minute. The workout would be terminated when recovery does not occur to below a given heartbeat rate, e.g. 110 b.p.m. in time: 2 to 5 minutes at the end of the slow recovery run. In the manual mode one exercises to a pre-entered program, with or without a cardiac monitored override, or responding to keyboard instructions as given from time to time. The heart rate is still projected on he video monitor for the trainer to see.
The display of the heart beat is of tremendous value for an aerobic exercise program, and the display of the personal parameters in a speed controlled scene are informative and motivating.
The invention allows programming for different results: speed or endurance at varying levels of speed depending on the race being trained for. Strike and stride can be correlated over a given distance on the track by using a pedometer to find out he number of strikes taken in a given distance. Distance divided by the number of steps gives the length of stride. Running at metronome speed over a predetermined distance will also train the runner to achieve the correct number of steps per minute pace given for example, a 440 yard distance in 60 seconds and a 86 inch stride. This can be simply extrapolated by persons of skill in this art to determine how many steps per minute a runner must be able to run in order to achieve 440 yards in 53 seconds.
The apparatus of the present invention can be programmed for steady incremental improvements in performance to a certain (warm up) heartbeat over a given time, e.g. increasing 5 steps per minute every minute to a heart beat of 120. Then it could hold this rate for 5 minutes. During the work phase, the objective is defined in terms of speed or pulse and recovery. Given the steps per minute 220 the computer would maintain it for a given period then fall off to a lower given recovery beat, until the heart recovers, then run again at a fast steps per minute. This could be continued till the recovery proves inadequate, until the heart's reserve capacity is exhausted to a certain point.
By enabling small but real incremental progressions the invention avoids the problem of overstress when the adjustments are too great, and consequently staleness or burn-out. This situation becomes very critical at a high level of athletic performance. By the time physical signs of distress have become apparent, the athlete is already in deep trouble and the work has to be drastically reduced. Once over-stress is reached, physiological recovery is no longer a simple matter. Down time becomes very long and the athlete has to be slowly brought back to his former performance.
The following devices are used in connection with the invention:
(1) A full length mirror is place in front of the track so that the athlete can watch himself running. The mirror allows a constant evaluation of the runners form.
(2) A strobe light synchronized to the metronome and activated by the foot strike as an aid to helping the athlete improve his coordination with the beat. The athlete could also see himself running in slow motion while in fact running at high speed.
(3) At speeds of 220 steps per minute or higher, it becomes harder to distinguish the individual beats. By adding a different tone at set intervals the total structure is segmented and the athlete now simply listens and tries to keep pace by counting off he strikes between the base tone.
(4) Running in total darkness except for one focal point of light on the video screen, aids the athlete to develop a sense of physical balance which is very necessary at high speed.
(5) A radio transmitter (cordless headphone) to be attached to the runner and capable of communication with the central control.
(6) An electronic metronome capable of providing a beat of varying speeds for varying lengths of time in one continued sequence.
(7) A process monitor capable of engaging the cardiac transmitter and metronome in such a fashion as to be able to maintain a given heart rate by speeding up or slowing down the rate of foot strike of the user or for maintaining different heart rates for given intervals.
(8) A recording device capable of reproducing the total operation in terms of numerical figures or charts and graphs.
In use by a trainer the hydro-electronic track of the present invention has the following advantages:
A. The runner is in control. The machine is responsive to the athlete's action, but at no time does he feel in danger.
B. The machine accents the same muscular sequences as running but with an increased effort that can only be achieved at high speed on an outdoor track.
C. The use of a halter allows for proper running action at high speed without fear of falling. The hands are freed to run normally rather than for holding on.
D. The halter can be used as a line to introduce leads for monitoring equipment, without interfering with normal running action.
E. Because of the normal running form, the hydro-electronic track can be used to critique runner form visually, by strobe, or video tape.
F. The result of training on the hydro-electronic track produces a stronger muscular development due to running against increased resistance.
G. Speed can be taught by running to the electronic pacer a increasing strikes per minute.
H. For stress testing, the fear of the apparatus is a smaller factor in tests, therefore giving more accurate data regarding a runner's true physical condition.
I. Sudden stops at high speed do not result in injury.
J. It frees both athletes and coaches from the control of the weather, and allows the operation of a year round program.
K. Because of its high absorbing capacity, runners have a much lower rate of injury and can therefore train at a higher intensity or greater frequency.
L. Speed adjustments can be abrupt, from second to second. No acceleration o deceleration time is required of the hydroelectronic track which makes it appropriate for interval or intermittent runs.
M. Speed adjustments can be made in very small increments from day to day which is barely noticeable by the athlete, but does add up significantly over a period of time.
N. Runners can learn high speed coordination well in advance of their ability to do so on the outdoor track.
O. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that speed on the hydro-electronic track is directly related to actual performance and it is in this way that athletes record times can be improved by design.
There are three areas in which this system could be operative: athletic training, medical rehabilitation and stress testing.
In athletic training this system would give a decided advantage because of its ability to maintain maximum efficiency in training over any of the present systems of exercising. It affords greater precision in evaluating the effect of exercising and in being able to predict the possible outcome, not just waiting for the results in advance and act accordingly. Over-training (overstress) and "burn out" can be avoided by the addition of a base pulse, and the whole system can be fine tuned to the individual performer rather than to some gross approximation.
In medical rehabilitation, one can prevent over-exertion by setting the safe zone, and setting the cardiac monitor, in conjunction with the metronome pacer to determine the work load. The degree of exercise can be increased in small incremental amounts on a daily basis. The monitoring system ensures that the patient will exercise within the prescribed limits.
In the case of stress testing, one is running at a speed provided by the pacer which can be terminated at any moment without fear of being flung off the apparatus. Stress testing is done in terms of the steps per minute required to reach and maintain a certain heart rate for a specific time. The greater the number of steps per minute per heart beat, the better the efficiency. Recuperative ability can be judged in terms of the degree of recovery to a certain heartbeat within a given time. In this way, one avoid the significant factor of stress associated with a fear of being out of control as when running fast on a treadmill. The whole procedure then becomes less life threatening to the patient, and the testing results are more accurate in terms of the specific information sought.
Although the invention has been described in terms of a particular embodiment, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to just that single embodiment, but is intended to encompass the subject matter defined by the following claims and their equivalents.

The logical case for 'luck'
March 3, 2012 § 4 Comments
'Luck' is often a rather blasphemous term to use in a quasi-philosophical discussion and is, as such, disregarded as entirely insignificant by most when recounting the factors governing human life. In fact, some times the derision amounts to an utter denial of it's very existence. I personally believe that such an attitude is a sad error which deems to regard something that has come down the conventional wisdom and nomenclature as being wrong for these very qualifications; whereas a true measure would be to judge it rationally against a valid argument to affirm or reject it.
A number of events, being causal outcomes of other events, will inevitably collide at multiple instances, giving birth to other causal outcomes which are a result of the very collisions – a shared outcome, if you may, which may not be originally designed to procure by either of the causing events individually. Any sufficiently randomized causal system will then inevitably go down that path. Luck, keeping with the jargon of this writing, will then merely be one such incidental outcome, profiting one or many by sheer 'chance' (or the contrary).
This, then clearly establishes a place for 'luck', or 'chance', whatever way you'd have it as, and a role for it in human life. Whereas disregarding it may be fulfiling for an ardent believer of free will, that would be well removed from reality.
As far as the case for free will is concerned, it is quite obvious that this agency has it's limitations. Particularly, when one can't adequately determine the cause and effect of an instant, being disturbed by the aforementioned phenomenon, free will breaks down. I shall cite an example to make my point clear:
Let's say you shoot an arrow and that you're an exceptionally good at it. The arrow is bound straight for a tree shall no external event interfere. But 'as luck would have it', a bird flies right into it's way and faces a rather unpleasant outcome. In this case, the bird was to continue its flight while the arrow was to strike the tree; but since both collided, the outcomes of both events were disturbed and gave birth to an unanticipated new outcome.
This, then, is luck. I know it's a fairly obvious phenomenon and could be very easily reasoned and reached. But some ardent rationalists, or so they claim to be, tend to consider luck something of a nuisance when it comes down to arguing free will. And that, in turn, leads them to make fairly ridiculous and invalid remarks about it. This is just a quick rejoinder to such fellows.

Azaab Theory And Other Absurd Arguments By Muslims
January 20, 2012 § 8 Comments
One of the oft-cited arguments by Muslims in addressing certain issues is the 'Azaab theory.' Of course no such formal theory exists and I have termed it thus for namesake only. What it necessarily entails is to first render a standpoint unfalsifiable, and then suddenly bring up a citation from the holy book as the proof of their truth. For instance, if a vile person is struck down by some natural calamity, they term it a sign from God or Azaab. When many vile persons lead their entire lives in debauchery and corruption and have a very happy ending at a cozy death-bed, Muslims would argue that God simply 'let his rope loose' so that he would indulge as much as he could and that for this, he will face the wrath of God in hell. The only problem with this is, obviously it is an unfalsifiable theory. You have an answer ready for both outcomes and you pitch one of them, as per the events.
But this is taken even further by certain 'philosophic' Muslims who tend to argue Islam against science or philosophy. For instance, Hamza Toru is hailed by many as a Muslim who can miraculously respond to all philosophical arguments and scientific proofs which negate religion. While I haven't seen the recent debate between him and Professor Hoodbhoy that has been cited as 'the triumph of religion', I did have the opportunity to watch his brief talk with Mr. Dawkins. Here's what I could grasp from it.
While Dawkins cited clear proofs of the process of evolution, Toru wanted to bring him to one single point, which he eventually did: how did the universe come into being? Of course this question is still unanswered by the science per se, although physically at a point where time's value becomes zero, the instance becomes entirely irrelevant to us. But then, for argument sake, let's consider it. Yes, science doesn't have a definite answer to that. So? 'Then that clearly means that there is a God since how can the universe come into being!! My holy book has an answer to what your science doesn't!' Toru resorts excitedly and rather triumphantly. Did that make sense? Of course not.
Look at it another way. A person walks over to me and says 'what is smaller than zero.' I tell him that mathematically, nothing can be smaller than zero. He says come on, how is that possible. When I insist that I have no answer to that, he tells me he read in such and such book about something that is smaller than zero and so, his book furnishes answer to questions that I, or science (mathematics), can't answer. Logically, that's an utterly stupid argument. The inability of science to answer certain question does not render illogical interpretations from other sources the more credible source of knowledge.
Also on the point of interpretations, the Muslim enthusiasts who pitch all the weirdest interpretations to prove a scientific fact, the pseudo-scientists like Haroon Yahya, they fail to tell this to their ardent fans that religious scriptures have been reinterpreted again and again over times to make them compliant with the 'scientific facts' of their age. It is precisely the abstract form of holy scriptures that allows for virtually infinite interpretations and that, by no means, qualifies as 'the proof' of foretold scientific wisdom!
Finally, to my Muslim friends who stubbornly insist that religion provided knowledge for scientific discoveries and then try to cite proofs from Moorish era: that is SUCH rubbish! Religion, at best, instigated Muslim to attain scientific knowledge and it was the enthusiasm that an intelligent theological environment provided which enabled them to make those scientific advancement in Spain. None of them 'discovered' ANYTHING from the holy book, at best they merely got their inspiration from Quran. The scientific knowledge came from the Greeks on which they built wisely. Naturally, with this mindset which seeks scientific answers, riddles, formulae, and revelations in the holy book, Muslims are bound to dwell in scientific ignobility.
The Great Secret – Shams al-Din Hafiz
November 28, 2011 § 10 Comments
God was full of Wine last night,
So full of wine
That He let a great secret slip.
He said:
There is no man on earth
Who needs a pardon from Me –
For there is really no such thing,
No such thing
As Sin!
That Beloved has gone completely Wild-He has poured Himself into me!
I am Blissful and Drunk and Overflowing.
Dear world,
Draw life from my Sweet Body,
Dear wayfaring souls,
Come drink your fill of liquid rubies,
For God has made my heart
An Eternal Fountain!
The material quest
August 24, 2011 § 18 Comments
Life has many faces. It's a multifaceted array of colors and contours. Nonetheless, some of its facets are quite discomfiting. Whereas the finesse, the refinement of thought and action elevate one to heights where one can truly cherishes the beauty of life, there are times when things aren't so beautiful. Such is the ugliness in the mundanity of life that the heart is cleansed of all thoughts of a sight otherwise when such one to behold. True, many of us are forced by the whim of chance to be a part of this mundanity, if not at all times, then occasionally due to certain circumstance. Yet, if choice be, not one would wish to be there, not even with all those artistic renderings and noisy proclamations of humility towards the occupation – at least not when the details of such a choice are impressed fully and correctly upon one. Rustic ruminations are very illustrious for prose and so but very inadequate to accommodate the bitter truth of life itself.
As to the contrary disposition, that of a finer, more artistic and, often, scarcely affordable mode, that which is an amalgam of knowledge and affluence (and the latter often follows the former) – to that, everyone yearns. And why shouldn't we? Life is but a small timeline with endless possibilities and all of us wish to make the most of it. Then such a tendency is only obvious, only too natural! Once we pull down the curtains of social regard, morality and such others, it becomes quite clear that materialism, itself, is the actual pursuit. To derive a conclusion that materialistic pursuit is the death of 'true' being is quite non-sense – in fact, any more arguments to that end shall be regarded as absurd and cliché because they have a tendency to be self-assuming without necessarily being correct.
There is an interesting point to consider here: many who assume the path proposed above tend to abandon mid-way and return to what they term as 'truth' or shall we say spiritual modes. If I be asked, I honestly believe that this is because they are either worn down by the toll that such a path exacts upon their intellect and mental prowess in general. Or else, they simply lack the faculties to appropriately employ the resources they acquire and after squandering them quite stupidly, they assume it to be the 'dark, vile materialism' and thenceforth, set back to the good, ol' spirituality. What they fail to comprehend is the lack in their own efforts, of styling themselves in the right fashion, the lack of which leads to such unsuccessful attempts. If only they knew how to be a true materialistic, how to spend days and nights in the pursuit of art, what with the divine prose of centuries and beyond and the elysian symphonies of Beethoven and Mozart and the cognizant philosophies from Greek down to our days; and the beauty of a Dionysian passion and the methods of understanding intellects and sifting through them and discerning their traits, a science in itself which shall be sufficient to occupy one for a lifetime; with all such promises that a true material pursuit holds, what else shall entice one?
And, shall the reader still be ill-convinced of the validity of this religion, I may add that humanity is an inseparable element to each of such indulgences, true material pursuit being rational and true rational model being one that encompasses a good for all.
If a material pursuit is being undertaken with consideration of this, it becomes the supreme mode of existence, that pinnacle of being where one expends his energies in attaining knowledge and truly justifying his birth. And all the while, enjoying every moment while it lasts. Such is a life truly worth living. And such is a life worthy of wasting a lifetime on!
The sin of innocent pride
August 22, 2011 § 4 Comments
"At a certain point on his path the absurd man is tempted. History is not lacking in either religions or prophets, even without gods. He is asked to leap. All he can reply is that he doesn't fully understand, that it is not obvious. Indeed he does not want to do anything but what he fully understands. He is assured that this is the sin of pride, but he does not understand the notion of sin; that perhaps hell is in store, but he has not enough imagination to visualize that strange future; that he is losing immortal life, but that seems to him an idle consideration. An attempt is made to get him to admit his guilt. He feels innocent. To tell the truth, that is all he feels — his irreparable innocence. This is what allows him everything. Hence, what he demands of himself is to live solely with what he knows, to accommodate himself to what is, and to bring in nothing that is not certain. He is told that nothing is. But this at least is a certainty. And it is with this that he is concerned: he wants to find out if it is possible to live without appeal."
-The Myth Of Sisyphus, Albert Camus.
The pinnacle of existence
September 9, 2010 § 7 Comments
"There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive."
– Jack London
And indeed in those rigorous moments where life relentlessly knaps it's head with a resolve against whatever is abating the way, therein with the incessant interplay of hope with a hopeless, hopeful, promising, empty despair that begets a promise of it's own, in the instances when the strength of being is spent to the last before resigning to a fulfilling satiation – it all is what describes the true ecstasy of being, that which is experienced in an ephemeral ethereal moment and then passes, leaving behind a longing for more. A relentless and rigorous life, a life that knows no purpose except that to discern a purpose or to live fully, justifying the truth of being, straining all energies to the terminal extent and bringing out of them an intellectual output. And a life which concludes with the precipitation of that ardent desire to know more, do more and live more.
The leap of faith
July 16, 2010 § 15 Comments
The leap of faith or the trust?
Whichever comes first; for if the latter follows the former, as many would claim, it is only a result of the 'expectant' circumstances faith necessarily entails. The possible becomes the 'miraculous' impossible-made-possible when an established agency is available to make claims of having the power to bring it about.
However, there is no case, at least none resting upon reasoning and logical rigor, that proves otherwise. That faith is posterior to trust. A belief's cogency is marred by the inquirer and thus exposed when removed from the superstition that holds it together. Naturally, to one given more to logic than sentimentalism, the trust we talk of here never gains a root. And so, there is no faith.
Nihilism is the necessary malady for the disbeliever.

There will also probably be a yoga instructor named Havisham and a bar called Jaggers, because Dickens novels should be treated with respect.

Last week, there were reports that Facebook had been targeted by hackers and according to a report out of the Associated Press, we can now add Microsoft as the next major company to be attacked. While Microsoft was prompt to confirm that they were on the receiving end of an attack, they were very quick to confirm that no customer information was lost.
Microsoft took a very similar approach to Facebook in terms of this attack and while they acknowledged the attack, they were reluctant to detail the means by which hackers were able to gain access to Microsoft computers. In this respect, company officials would only say that like Facebook, malicious code some how managed to find its way onto Microsoft computers. With Facebook, the latest attack came by way of employee computers which were infected when they went to certain websites. Similar to Microsoft, Facebook was quick to confirm that no customer information was lost and all infected machines were cleaned. Facebook continues to work with local law enforcement as well as their own security teams to gather further details of the attack that took place against them. The current working theory on these hacks believe that they may have originated out of China.
