MARTIN Ling feels football clubs must learn to look past "coffee stains" of depression on the CVs of players and managers.
Ling, part of the Swindon Town side which won promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs in 1993, has fought the battle against mental illness twice since hanging up his boots and moving into management.
From his experiences, the former Cambridge United, Leyton Orient and Torquay United boss has come to think the sport is unaware of how depression manifests itself, how it can be overcome and how competent those who have emerged from it actually are to fulfil demanding roles in the professional game.
Ling was dismissed as manager at Torquay in May last year at the end of his contract with the Gulls, with the club citing footballing reasons for the decision. But the 47-year-old believes that his struggle with the disease caused those in charge at Plainmoor to doubt his capacity to lead when that could not have been further from the truth.
Now back in work, in four part-time roles both domestically and internationally, Ling has made the brave move to reveal all of his past demons, the inner workings of depression and their effects, as he looks to encourage fans, players, managers and chairmen to make more considered choices and judgements in the future.
Ling tells the Advertiser that, with mental illnesses as poorly understood as they are, clubs are likely to overlook candidates with such 'blemishes' on their records.
He says: "If there are four of us sitting in a room and the other three are on a level playing field because I've had depression then I feel it's hard. I think I have a very strong CV but it has a little coffee stain on it, with the word depression, which people are going to have to look beyond to see I can still do the job.
"If one in four people suffer from it in the country, then some of the people who are making the decisions have probably gone through it. Barry Hearn (Orient chairman) said to me once 'what did you learn in The Priory?' and I said there are an awful lot richer people in this world than him and most are sitting in the Priory.
"The people who are running these football clubs have probably had someone suffer this around them or maybe even suffered it themselves, so they can realise that you can manage your life with depression."
Ling's first signs of depression came in 2010 while he was manager at Cambridge. His father David had just come through a serious, life-threatening illness.
He recounts: "We were at Rushden and Diamonds and I was a bit more anxious than I usually was. I was sweating and everything seemed a bigger decision than it ever seemed before.
"I palmed that off, took on a bit of fluid and a week later I couldn't get out of bed. I felt no energy, no spark, no anything at all. I felt totally drained. I thought it was a virus but I spoke to the LMA through my wife and they said go and see your doctor, but they also sent me to see a stress counsellor.
"I went to see him and he said 'you've got a mild form of depression'. He described the symptoms and that was how I felt. He put me on a course of therapy, CBT, which is cognitive behavioural therapy, and medication and within time it seemed to disappear."
Ling would go on to be sacked by the non-league side within the year but soon established himself again at Torquay, where he manipulated a small budget brilliantly and reached the League Two play-offs in 2012.
It was during his second season in charge when his depression returned. This time it was much more potent.
With his team due to play live on Sky Sports the following day, Ling checked into Exeter Hospital feeling as though he was suffering from "a brain tumour". His assistant manager, Shaun Taylor, took charge of the match and Ling set off the next day to return home to London.
"I felt like I was having a heart attack and pulled into Taunton Services," Ling says. "That day I saw a specialist on Harley Street and by the next day I was in The Priory at Roehampton for five weeks."
Ling is thankful to the League Manager's Association, who picked up the tab for his stay in the rehabilitation clinic as his insurance did not cover the onset of depression, and the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Sam Allardyce, who called him with messages of support, but he was still at odds to explain why he was hit so hard.
He tells the story of lying on a hospital bed following his initial admission to Exeter Hospital, after being put through every medical examination under the sun: "While I was laying there in my hospital bed I started to rationalise it and I thought I was laying there in that hospital bed with nothing wrong with me."
Of course that couldn't have been further from the truth. Ling was one of the quarter of the UK population who suffer from some form of mental illness every year. But its invisibility was confusing – for him, for his family, for his employer and the fans of the club of which he was at the head.
"It's weird because deep down you don't want it to be depression," he says. "You want it to be a physical ailment that someone can give you a tablet for and make it disappear. I didn't want it to be depression because I knew how low it took me before, but the second time it hit me twice as hard.
"When I speak about it now people say 'you were the last person I'd ever thought would get depression because you're very outgoing, very jovial' but it isn't about that. I've had it under control for a year now and feel in a much better place this time.
"All I know is that some people's brains are susceptible to depression and mine is or was."
Torquay went public with the line Ling was taking time off work to recover from a stress-related illness. When his rolling contract in the summer he felt he was ready to return to work. The club did not.
"The truth of the matter was I was fit and well to go back in May but Torquay decided they wanted to go with Alan Knill and dispense of my services.
"The rumours when I left Torquay were that I had a brain tumour, that I had cancer, that I was an alcoholic. I'm not being disrespectful to any of those scenarios but if I had a brain tumour they couldn't have and wouldn't have sacked me, I honestly believe that.
"They honoured their contract, they paid me the year's money but if anyone can find footballing reasons for why I was sacked from Torquay then they're a better person than me.
"I feel I was ready then to tell this story, to explain to everybody where I'd been, to explain depression and that I was on medication to cope with it. I felt in a much better place.
"If I was working in any normal job I wouldn't have to go public with this and no one would have needed to know where I was for the three months I was missing because, in a normal industry, they write you off ill, they write you off work and it would all be hush hush.
"At Torquay they had a daily paper and then a weekly paper and you had to be accountable. In a male-dominant sport it's probably harder to deal with depression, particularly when you're the head of that club.
"You can work with it. There are many people in many different industries who are working with depression."
Having learnt to deal with his depression, Ling feels he is now able to thrive once more and he's been able to enjoy family life with his wife Caroline, daughter Charlotte and son Samuel – who's making waves in the Orient youth department.
He's also using his experience to enlighten others of the very real but often unrecognised dangers of mental illness, its remarkable commonality and how it needs to be understood; with regular media appearances and work for anti-mental health discrimination charity 'Time for Change' at the top of his agenda.
But there is still a very pungent sense that Ling is desperate for a return to full-time management. And he feels he's more than capable to do the job.
"I don't see why I can't work in football again just because I've had it because for a year now I've handled it very well and had no signs for a year," he says. "People are always going to say 'what if he comes back into a stressful environment? Is he likely to have depression again?' I don't think that's the case now because I think I have the tools to deal with life situations.
"I want to be back at the coalface. I want that buzz of working within it. I've worked in it for 32 years and the only reason I'm outside looking in now is because I've had a bout of illness. If you look at my CV it's a strong CV. I've never taken a team down, I've always left a team stronger than when I started with them. Cambridge maybe not so much but certainly at Orient and Torquay.
"I'd have no hesitation coming back if the right opportunity came my way."

Lindsay Lohan gets sued
Lindsay Lohan is being sued by a woman who claims Lindsay and her bodyguard hit her car and then gave her a fake name and number. TMZ reports:
Signe Dupuy claims that in April 2007 LiLo and her main man, Jaz, cut her off in their SUV while she was driving on Fairfax Ave. in L.A. Dupuy says when she got out of the car, Lindsay stopped and glared at her, while Jaz was "hostile" and "tried to intimidate" her. She says they gave her a fake name and number (the nerve!) and drove away. Signe tells us this is her last resort, as she has tried to contact Lindsay several times, even sending her rep a letter. Lindsay's rep told us she did get the letter but "filed it away," adding "I assumed the letter was sent to [Lindsay's] lawyers. That's what they're paid for."
I can't figure out who's dumber, Lindsay Lohan for actually trying to give a fake name, or the woman who couldn't figure out she wasn't dealing with 'Chesty La Rue'. And just cause, here's Lindsay Lohan in her bikini from two weeks ago, before she was arrested. Can you even remember that far back? Look at that thing on her ankle. Man, this place is like a museum.

The reports yesterday had Alexei Kovalev going to the KHL for the next two years (click here for the story from NHL.com), probably ending his NHL career.
And if so, then there are no players left from the '94 champions.
Hard to believe Kovalev's 38. Hard to believe it's been all these years since he arrived. Hard, for me, to believe that he didn't accomplish more.
I'm interested in what you guys really think of the career he had: 428 goals, 1,024 points. I am sure a lot of you will always think of him fondly, some of you will argue that he was always a big-game player (I'd argue that he had some unbelievable big games, but that he also disappeared at times; I'd also argue with those who say he was the best player in the Messier Guarantee game … I thought Richter, Leetch and, obviously, Messier, were better).
A lot of us will say he was under-appreciated. Some will say he was overrated.
I will say he was the most gifted player the Rangers have had in all my years watching the team play (Gretzky and Jagr were better players for their careers, but neither was in his prime when he got here). Only those two and Mario Lemieux had the kind of hands and vision and ability to dance with the puck, and hold onto it. Kovalev was so strong on the puck, had a devastating shot.
But, of course, for a lot of his NHL time, he looked too interested in playing keepaway, and not nearly interested enough in actually, you know, scoring.
He could do stuff like flip the puck over the rafters in the ceiling of the practice rink and catch it on the blade of his stick. Or hit the crossbar multiple times, standing by the net down the other end of the ice.
And he wasn't just gifted at hockey. He played golf left-handed, yet there's the story about how he was playing with Sal Messina and wanted to try Messina's new right-handed driver. And belted it 300 yards down the middle. He was a musical genius, from what I've heard. And a pilot. The kid could pretty much do anything (I also recall the story of him getting so terribly lost his first week in the U.S., being unable to speak English, driving a rented car over bridges, to and from New Jersey, and crying, while trying to find the practice rink in Westchester).
He was a likeable young man — and his teammates absolutely loved him.
I just think it's a shame that he only accomplished what he did, because I think, with the gifts he had, he could have been an all-time great, a no-doubt Hall of Famer. But he wasn't an all-time great, and he's a very borderline HOF candidate, if that.

Free Bird
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"..and the Lord sayeth onto the cheering masses, "What song doth y'all wanteth to hear?" And the cheering masses did shout, "Free Bird! Free Bird!""
"In Soviet Russia, the bird frees YOU!!"
"Free Bird" is the National Anthem of the United States of America, with lyrics written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, and musical accompaniment supplied by Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1973. Key, a 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, wrote the poem "Free Bird" after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, by British ships in Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the sight of a flock of birds which flew freely over the large American flag, a sign that the British were indeed not really that interested in claiming Baltimore, anyways.
There is speculation that Francis Scott Key actually stole the lyrics from an ancient text written in 763 B.C by Romulus just minutes after he founded Ancient Rome. Romulus first thought of the idea for the lyrics after he killed his brother Mitt "Remus" Romney. His brother then became quite peeved and cried in the corner until the 21st century, at which point he ran for dictator of the Soviet Union. Anyway, Romulus, being the clumsy wolf-raised boy he was, dug a hole to China, where Jackie Chan karate chopped the lyrics into 1812 America. Key didn't think anyone would notice, and promptly took credit for writing Free Bird. Romulus obviously became fussy when nobody believed he wrote it and adopted Joseph Smith and L. Ron Hubbard.
edit Early History
Key originally wrote the ballad as a dystopian epic consisting of 24 stanzas; The first two stanzas set the scene at the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus of Nazareth asks his father to take this burden off of him since he has finally learned to be free as a bird, and Jesus has serious doubts about his ability to change. Stanzas 3 through 5 proceeds to follow Jesus' struggles as Judas Iscariot pops out from behind a nearby tree and tells Jesus that he has a surprise for him. When Jesus asks "what hast thou got for me?" Judas proceeds to saunter up to Jesus and give him a full frontal snogging. Soon afterwards, the local Roman authorities arrest Jesus for indecent public displays of affection. The next thirteen stanzas switch into a very disturbing stream of consciousness, very typical of Key and his naughty, naughty mind. the last six stanzas of this masterpiece finish the poem in a sestina which denotes the author's descent into madness, and his fight with the devil over his soul (a theme common to many national anthems. See also: "La Marseillaise", "O, Canada!" and "The Hamster Dance").
In a fever pitch, Key ran to the newspapers and had his masterpiece published at the incredible rate of one copy per hour. Within days, 72 or so copies could have possibly been within the hands of the local residents of Baltimore, and may have even reached Dover. Many critics, and Mrs. Key, praised Mr. Key's ability to use words and punctuation to form sentences.
Despite the critical acclaim that Key received, though, "Free Bird" simply could not even breach Billboard's Hot 100 for most listened to poetry of 1814. Key quickly spiraled out of control. The next four years of his life consisted of women, drinking and dropping acid into glass bottles clearly labeled 'dangerous' for a local chemist. It was the worst of times for Key. Then he died.
edit A New Life
In 1973, Leonard "fake pants" Dropsy and Bubba Bo-Rey Skinyard were traveling guitar salesmen for the Makeitup Guitar Company. Leonard and Bubba were at yet another diner trying to explain what a start is to a rather burly biker when someone in the diner asked for Leonard to play something. Oddly, nobody had ever seemed interested in hearing Leonard play one of his guitars, so the two salesmen were at a loss. Bubba Skinyard then remembered that he had a copy of Key's poem in his pocket; Bubba was trying to learn how to better himself, and was reading "Free Bird", but had not gotten past the second stanza due to "general retardation".
Leonard puts the performance this way: "I mean, there we were ready to play for these blokes and, I mean, I have to admit, I really didn't know what I was going to play or anything. I mean, you have to understand, I never played the guitar or anything before this point. I mean, you think I would, what with me selling guitars and all... but anyway. We're standing there, and the both of us just know that we're going to be spending the rest of the summer playing bitch to a motorcycle gang full of bald men with handlebar mustaches that could blot out the sun when I got real scared, see? So I prayed to God, see, 'cause I had no idea what to do, when suddenly, I looked down and my hand was just playing this angelic melody. Well, Bubba, he takes one look at me and his eyes are all bulging out of his head and then he just starts singing and what do ya know? It's 'Free Bird' baby!"
In order to maintain the feel of Key's work, Leonard proceeds to play out all 24 of the verses of "Free Bird" even if Bubba was "too stupid to even mumble along". The song is an immediate success. Leonard and Bubba sell a guitar.
The next day, Leonard and Bubba wander out of their Motel 6 room to find a throng outside. Incessant chants of "Free Bird!" filled through the air as nearby hooligans threatened to burn the motel down with their lighters. Leonard and Bubba proceeded to play the song again, and don't screw it up a second time. A record producer in the audience for DeusExMachina Records immediately signed them up for a record contract, and thus the band "Bybby Drypsy" was born. Unfortunately, someone had already taken that name, so they went with their back up name "Stephen".
edit Free Bird! Free Bird!
"Free Bird" fever was taking America by storm. Every rascal with a nickel in his pocket could pop down to the malt shop, stick it into the jukebox and shimmy away to the wild stylings of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Even President Eisenhower was impressed with this little ditty, and was sure that it would help overshadow the rampant racism of the time. On January 3rd, 1973, "Free Bird" was declared the National Anthem of the United States of America (Thus retiring the ballad "America: The Song").
Soon "Free Bird" was played before every event in America that consisted of the gathering of at least two people. Tradition also dictated that, when the song begins, every man, woman and child sings along joyously while waving anything that might be on fire (flamethrowers are not only acceptable, they're recommended). On January 4th, 1973, new laws were instated by Eisenhower due to the fact that "some people are evidently queer or something. And not the good kind of queer that gives your house a makeover or heads the FBI. No, the kind of queer that likes to try to seduce me by walking around in leather skin-tight capris and insisting he's too good to sing 'Free Bird'". These laws made certain that everyone who heard "Free Bird" must join in the chorus and give at least "two hoots and/or hollers" throughout the course of the song. Also, if a person is holding a guitar in hand, and someone says the words "free" and "bird" directly after each other, that person must immediately play the full song or face a 40 year prison sentence (although, many witnesses to said crime commonly execute the perpetrator on the spot due to the embarrassment of both parties involved).

Towards Turkish-Islamic Union
Adnan Oktar's conversations with guests
Short videos - Don't miss
Erzincan Can TV, July 14th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: The EU is a very good union, and a very necessary one. Turkey needs to join, but not like this; it must join as the leader of the Turkish-Islamic world. IT NEEDS TO JOIN AS A SUPER POWER THAT ACTS AS A BRIDGE TO EUROPE. IN THAT EVENT, EUROPE WILL BE A THOUSAND TIMES GREATER THAN IT IS NOW. America will be twice as great. It will grow enormously. Russia and China will be able to relax. All our neighbors will be able to relax. The Sun will shine on Israel, the Middle East will become like a paradise for them. THEY WILL BE EXTRAORDINARILY AT EASE. It is the Turkish nation that will establish the finest peace, tranquility and love in Turkey. That is how it was in Ottoman times, and how it is in this time. Allah has bestowed this task on the nation, insha'Allah.
Gaziantep Kanal 5, September 22nd, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Let us enter the EU with honor and glory and splendor. Let us join as the leader of the Turkish-Islamic Union. It would be unbecoming of the Turkish nation to seek to join to ask them for money and jobs. It would be unfitting to behave as if we were asking them to save us. We must go in to save them. We will give them money and make economic opportunities available and join as a leader. WE WILL BRING THEM THE WEALTH AND POWER OF ASIA AND ALL THE ISLAMIC COUNTRIES. WE WILL BRING THEM TECHNICAL OPPORTUNITIES. WE WILL SERVE AS A BRIDGE. That is what I have said. Otherwise, I like Europe's art, science and culture, of course. I like its art and culture; I like its architecture. I respect it enormously in that sense. I like its democracy. I like its conception of liberty. I would even like them to be more free and democratic and I want Turkey to adopt European democracy, or even to go further than that. In that sense, of course I want us to join Europe.
Kanal 35, December 14th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Turkey is a great state. They should be asking Turkey to join the EU. They should even be begging it to join. Because IT IS TURKEY THAT WILL MAKE THEM RICH AND SAVE THEM. TURKEY IS A DYNAMIC POWER, A DYNAMIC YOUTH; THERE IS THE DYNAMIC YOUTH OF ALL THE TURKIC STATES AND ALL THEIR UNDERGROUND RESOURCES, THEIR MINES AND PETROL AND NATURAL GAS, AND ALL THE CAPITAL AND OIL OF THE WHOLE ISLAMIC WORLD IS NOW ON ITS FEET, AND TURKEY WILL ADMINISTER THEM ALL. IT WILL BE THE LEADER AND THE OLDER BROTHER, IT WILL BE A CHANNEL FOR EUROPE, IN OTHER WORDS. Europe is moribund, but Turkey is the blood and serum that will bring them back to life, it is what they urgently need. …
Star, 02 December 2011
The foreign ministers of 11 EU member countries have signed a joint article supporting Turkish membership.
The piece said; "Turkey is a new propulsive force of the free market economy and a regional player that can contribute to our common foreign policy. Having Turkey at our side at a time of global uncertainty has shown how far the arm of the EU can reach in the future in global terms."

WEST POINT - The 2013 sprint football season began with a daunting task for Penn -- a date with defending CSFL champion Army. Despite taking the first lead of the game on a long touchdown in the second quarter, the Quakers were not able to hold off the Black Knights in a 35-12 loss.
Keith Braccia was 16-of-28 for 244 yards and two touchdowns, finding Jack Epstein on a 66-yard touchdown in the second quarter and Mike Beamish on a 40-yard score to account for most of his work.
As one would expect in the first game of the season, it took time for both sides to get any traction on offense. Penn had the longest drive of the first quarter in terms of plays ran -- running nine plays on its third drive of the quater -- but managed just seven total yards after a holding penalty and a sack halted any momentum.
On its first full drive of the second quarter, Penn found paydirt on a long passing play from Braccia to Epstein. After a holding penalty pushed Penn to 1st-and-20 from its own 34, Braccia found Epstein for a 66-yard completion with 10:04 to play in the first half.
The Black Knights would answer quickly, marching 60 yards downfield for their first touchdown of the game. The score came via the air, Nathan Wartski connecting with Lane Holmes from 25 yards out.
In the final minute of the first half, Army seized momentum via a two-play drive which resulted in a 24-yard touchdown from Wartski to Kevin O'Brien. The Black Knights needed just the pair of plays to go 44 yards in 27 seconds to take a lead they would never relinquish.
Trailing, 21-6, midway through the third quarter, Penn found a bit of momentum -- again in the arm of Braccia. On 2nd-and-10 from the Army 40, he connected with running back Mike Beamish to climb the Quakers back in the game. Down by nine, Penn looked to score on the two-point conversion to make it a one score affair, Braccia was incomplete.
It was another quick strike from Army which sealed the game, the Black Knights needing 41 seconds to go 40 yards. All the work was done by Marqus Burrell as the running back rattled off runs of 10, 12 and 18 yards. 25 seconds into the fourth quarter, Wartski added a third touchdown pass as he found Lane Holmes for an 87-yard touchdown.
Robert Dioro made an impression in his first game on defense for the Quakers, recording 10 solo tackles and a sack. Stu Helgeson and Nick Rush each made six solo stops.
Penn opens its home slate on Sept. 20 against Mansfield at Franklin Field at 7 p.m.

how to draw a shoe
Method 2
Oh, and by the way, I have used exactly the same tools as in the last post minus the tracing paper. You don't need that.
Step 1. Get your Converse boot, or whatever it is you want to draw, and draw around it. Yes, actually put it on the page and draw around it. I've used pencil to get the initial shape in the drawing above. It'll never be true to shape, because it depends what angle you are coming from (in so many ways), but I like that.
Step 2. Then draw around the pencil outline with a ballpoint to give you a ballpoint outline (apologies for the totally bloody obviousness of what I'm saying). It doesn't matter if it differs from the pencil outline, it's your shoe and your drawing.
Well, that's the process I go through. But, hey, don't listen to me. I'm sure you have your own thing going on.
Check out THIS LINK to see the other method I use for drawing shoes.
Plus, you can buy my 'How To Draw...' zines, and other stuff, HERE.

Is Floyd Mayweather bleeding? In the boxing world there was no bigger question that rained down upon Saturday night. At 35, to watch the money-man bleed was perhaps a sign.
During the waning rounds of the fight against Miguel Cotto, Floyd had the chance to knock him out, he just didn't.

Did you know?
Years ago, shark trip operators discovered by accident sharks became immobile if touched on the nose.
Footage of great white sharks breaching (leaping into the air) took the world by storm. For some this premeditated hunting behaviour made the great white appear an even more formidable predator than they had imagined.
The cliché that 'any publicity is good publicity', sadly, has never held water for great white sharks.
More than 30 years after the worst publicity campaign any creature could wish for, marine-horror flick Jaws, great white sharks are still struggling to beat their bad reputation as man-eating predators maliciously prowling the ocean.
On a boat tour to see shark breaching in False Bay, you'll discover quite the opposite is true, and, if you are extremely fortunate, you'll get to see a 3m to 3.8m shark launch out of the water, in a unique display of hunting behaviour.
Baby Cape fur seals are the food source that elicit such remarkable aerial dinner-gymnastics from the great white. Located about 5km offshore, Seal Island is home to more than 60 000 seals. In winter, when the game fish are scarce, seal pups become the great white's meal of choice.
Seal Island appeals to sharks for more than its 'all-you-can-eat' buffet. A sharp 25m drop-off from the island gives the sharks the perfect launch pad for their attack. Using the sea bottom and their colouration (great white sharks have a white belly and a grey back) as camouflage, the shark swims in a rapid upward trajectory with speeds often exceeding 40km/h.
It's the final thrust that takes the shark somersaulting out of the water, sometimes 2m or 3m into the air.
In about half the attacks, the shark doesn't catch the seal, and the seals escape using their incredible underwater agility.

How to get here
From the airport, take the N2 (Cape Town) turn-off. Take the M3 (Muizenberg) turn-off, right, and head south for about 20km. At the T-junction, turn right towards Ou Kaapse Weg. Cross one set of traffic lights and take the Simon's Town/Ou Kaapse Weg road left. This road will take you over the mountain, past the train station and into the centre of Simon's Town.
Best time to visit
The best time to see great whites at Seal Island is from mid-April to mid-September. Sharks are wild animals. Sightings are highly seasonal and therefore not guaranteed.
Around the area
Being the base of the South African Navy, all things maritime are popular in Simon's Town. Visit the beach, the harbour, museums, sail, dive, fish, sea kayak, whale watch and don't leave without visiting Simon's Town's cutest residents: the African penguins of Boulders Beach.
Tours to do
There are museum tours, harbour tours, historic walking tours and even a mine tour to do in Simon's Town.
Get around
You can reach Simon's Town by car or by train. If you do not have a hire car, make prior arrangements with your accommodation provider to transport you to, and from, the harbour for your tour.
What will it cost
A morning viewing trip costs approx R2000 p/person; and an afternoon trip costs around R1600 p/person.
What to pack
All your dive gear is supplied as well as a light lunch and beverages. Wear flat shoes with a good grip, and take a warm, weatherproof jacket for the boat ride. False Bay seas can be choppy, so if you suffer from motion- or sea-sickness take the necessary medication prior to your trip.
Where to stay
Tours depart from Simon's Town harbour, so make this quaint fishing village and naval base your home from home. Choose from camping and backpacker's accommodation to four-star hotels.
What to eat
Seafood restaurants with fabulous views are de rigeur in Simon's Town, but for something special visit the Boulders Beach Restaurant, and feast on Pacific-rim cuisine just metres from the famous Boulders penguin colony; or dine onboard a museum ship, the CS Cable Restorer. There's a wicked patisserie in town too.
Best buys
Souvenir hunters will find naval-themed art, shells and a gemstone or two from Mineral World.

Did you know that there are micro beings that live with us in underground waters, pools and lakes, in fields and gardens, every corner of the house we live in, the very bed we sleep in, the carpet on the floor, the air we breathe, in short everywhere we live?
Do these micro beings have any benefit for human beings?
What kind of a task do these beings, which are so small that cannot be seen with the naked eye, have in the world of living beings?
There is a community of living beings between five to fifty microns (5-50 µ) in size that share every environment with us and that are included in the world we live in. These beings which are called acarus, mites, are beings that do not carry any features different than any other insect, in that have a very detailed and complex structure but despite this that can only be seen through a microscope. These beings, which resemble a spider with their legs and claws and which cover every square centimeter we live in, have many important responsibilities for other living creatures.
The Tasks and General Characteristics of the Acarus Mite
In environments where acarus mites live, there has to be house dust, fabric threads, scales of human skin, animal pieces and hairs, spores, food debris and other organic and synthetic materials because the acarus mites feed on these... This is the reason why they are so intimate with human beings. When considered from this perspective, we understand that a majority of these small creatures are responsible with cleaning the earth. These beings ensure that scales, dust, fungi spores, pollen particles and plant fibers are destroyed.
The number of acarus mites in our homes are very high. The population of acarus mites for one teaspoon (1 gr) of house dust is 1000. When we think that such a high number of acarus mites are active continuously, we begin to understand that they carry out an invisible but very detailed cleaning process around us. If the acarus mites did not exist, then the amount of micro waste would increase every single moment that passed, and the world would become an uninhabitable place.
The benefits of the acarus mites for the Earth are not limited to these. Some acarus mites bring benefit to the environment without even realizing it. For example, the acarus mite species called "pyemotes tritici" reproduce in stored crops, dried seeds and peas, haystacks, dry grass and dry feed. These beings are very beneficial for the environments they live in because they paralyze other insects that feed on stored crops and the like and eliminate them.
These qualities of the acarus mite are one of the explicit evidences that there is a superior and single Creator of all things on earth. Everything works in the way Almighty Allah sets, with His leave and according to the destiny He determines. In one verse, it is revealed as such:
"That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything." (Surat al-An'am, 102)
Acarus Mites Have A Very Complex Body Structure
The acarus mites that live in a world we cannot see have a very complex body structure as an evidence of the superior intelligence and flawless creation of Almighty Allah, Creator of the Worlds.
• Functional Mouth and Foot Structure: The creature we call an acarus mite is composed of a body that looks like the human skull. Its mouth is in front of the body and it has a specialized structure adjusted to drill. Thanks to this special structure, the acarus mite can divide the food it finds into smaller pieces and therefore can take the food into its body. The body of the acarus mite is oval and is covered with tiny scratches. There are eight small legs coming out of this oval body. Its feet also have a very important structure. Their soles are covered with an adhesive substance that enables them to be buried into the deepest parts of the pavement and among the carpet threads. These eight small legs can even show resistance to the thrust power of even the most powerful vacuum cleaners. Even though they cannot be seen with the naked eye, the acarus mite has a very complicated set of "internal organs."
• Digestive System that Stores Food: Some of the acarus mites can live both on land and in water. The land dwelling acarus mite breathes via a "trachea." There is the "food pipe" next to the "trachea". Some acarus mites also have feeding organs so sharp that they can cut through plant cells. The acarus mite can easily absorb the water in their food with the help of these organs. The acarus mites' digestive system is composed of a muscled "pharynx" in the front, a long and narrow "food pipe", a "stomach", a short "intestine" and the "intestine sinus" in the back. The ventricle has double sacs that belong the stomach. These act as food storage organs and ensure that some acarus mites can maintain themselves for a long time without feeding.
• The Control Center- Nervous System and the Brain: In some acarus mites, there is a very advanced "nervous system" that surrounds the alimentary canal. A pile of nerves spreading from one part of the brain makes the nerves in the "legs", "nervous system", "muscle system" and "reproductive organs" active. The nerves of the mouth are activated by another part of the brain. In short, the invisible acarus mite has a "brain."
• Circulatory and Excretory System that Works Hand-in-Hand: The acarus mite has "excretory organs" that can open to the intestines in the back. These collect the waste materials in the body and transfer these into an organic composition called "guanine". This transfer that comes to the excretory organs takes place via the circulatory system. The blood travels inside the body through the movements of the heart and other muscles. So the acarus mite also has a heart that cannot be seen.
As it is seen, Allah placed numerous and complex organs inside the body of the acarus mite, beings that can only be examined under the microscope and that have no visible evidence of their existence. All of them are connected to one another. Every system the being needs to survive is created in the body of the acarus mite in a flawless manner. Not even one of these detailed systems; a stomach or the microscopic network of the nervous system can be formed by the imaginary mechanisms of evolution. This is certainly impossible. Therefore, every detail that a tiny acarus mite possesses proves the superior creation of Almighty Allah:
"In the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and day, and the ships which sail the seas to people's benefit, and the water which Allah sends down from the sky – by which He brings the earth to life when it was dead and scatters about in it creatures of every kind – and the varying direction of the winds, and the clouds subservient between heaven and earth, there are Signs for people who use their intellect." (Surat al-Baqara, 164)
Conclusion: Every Behavior of the Acarus Mite is Controlled by Almighty Allah
In these paragraphs, if we were mentioning a human being or animal body, the existence of these organs, and the systems we have highlighted would seem to be quite normal or reasonable. However, following this information we have discussed, it is worthwhile to go over the basics again. An acarus mite is smaller than the smallest insect you know of or encounter daily, and even smaller than a spot you can see. They live as a community of millions of members in your immediate environment. Even though it lives with you and has such a large community, there is no sign whatsoever of this creature's existence. This is one of the manifestations of Allah. These beings show the complex creation on earth through the details and qualities they possess. It is a miracle that these microorganisms, so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, have bodily systems, a heart they pumps blood, a brain composed of nerves. These beings, constantly cleaning the environment they live in, just like a small electrical vacuum, or paralyzing the insects that harm crops proves that every being is created for a specific purpose. Almighty Allah reveals this truth in one verse of the Quran:
"Did you suppose that We created you for amusement and that you would not return to Us?" (Surat al-Muminun, 115)
With the advancement of science and technology, the superior Creation of Almighty Allah is better understood. Almighty Allah reveals as follows in the Quran:
"Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surat an-Nahl, 17-18)
About the Acarus Mite…
The acarus mite feeds on dead skin cells and shells. Therefore, they exist in places where human beings live, spread around with the help of human activities and movement. The places where their nutritional materials are collected are generally beds and cushions, furniture and carpets.
The acarus mite does not drink water but they soak in the moisture in the air and environment. Therefore, the moisture in their environment is very important to them. They prefer a moisture level of 70-80% and a temperature of approximately 27 Centigrade. When they find such an appropriate environment, they can increase in numbers to a great deal. For example, there can be 6.000.000 members on a half-hectare or grassland.
They are dispersed to many different parts of the world. They can also live in the 5000 meter -high sides of Mount Everest, or the 5200 meter depths of the North Pacific Ocean. In Antarctica alone, there are more than fifty known species of acarus mites. In addition, they can exist in many places like thermals, caves, deserts and tundras. They can live in mine pits meters deep, in hot and cold thermal sources, in underwater environments that have 5000C heat, pools and lakes. The different species of the acarus mites that can dwell in different environments are more than 500.000.
The acarus mite passes through four stages throughout their life. Egg, larvae, nymph and adulthood Adults change their skins only once. The period from egg to adulthood lasts for one month. The population of the females that ovulate increases by twenty five to thirty every week. Adult acarus mites generally live for two months depending on the level of moisture and heat of the environment.
When in difficult situation, the acarus mite develops defense methods like other living beings.
For example, clover acarus mites go into hibernation or dormancy when climate conditions are unsuitable for them. When they realize that the intervals of heat they can live in increase or decrease, they understand that there is a danger. As a precaution, they slow down some functions of their body and go into a sleeping state. These beings, which appear dead, are thus not affected by the negative conditions of the environment, and when the climate is hot enough they can return to their active state and continue to live.

Tell Me About the Creation
Archaeopteryx Misconception
Evolutionists point to the Archaeopteryx fossil as the only evidence to support their claim that "birds evolved from dinosaurs". The latest discoveries, however, prove that this creature is simply an extinct bird species.
The most important intermediate form candidate that evolutionists refer to is a 150 million-year-old fossil bird called Archaeopteryx. Evolutionists claim that this fossil bird was a semi-dinosaur which could not fly properly.
This evolutionist claim proven false over and over again, collapsed for good with an Archaeopteryx fossil unearthed in 1992.
The absence of a "sternum", that is the chest bone, in this creature, which is essential for flight muscles, was held up as the most important evidence that this bird could not fly properly. The seventh Archaeopteryx fossil unearthed in 1992 revealed that the chest bone that evolutionists have long assumed to be missing actually existed. The presence of this bone proved that Archaeopteryx was a flying bird. 34
In addition, it has been proved that two other points which evolutionists mention while presenting Archaeopteryx as an intermediate form – the claws on its wings and the teeth in its mouth – do not in any way imply that this bird is an intermediate form. It has been observed that two bird species living today, touraco and hoatzin both have claws on their wings by which to hold on to branches.
Also, there have been different bird species throughout history that had teeth. Moreover, according to the measurements of famous ornithologists, such as Martin, Stewart and Whetstone, the tooth structure of Archaeopteryx was completely different from that of reptiles.35 All these findings show that the evolutionary claims that Archaeopteryx is an intermediate form have no scientific basis.

Colchester United drew 2-2 with Millwall at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, in their latest Under-21 Professional Development League game.
The U's fell behind in the third minute to Tobi Alabi's strike.
But Colchester were back on level terms just after the half hour through Jordan Sanderson, who slotted home after an enterprising run from Drey Wright.
Alex Gilbey cleared off the line for the U's just before half-time but the home side took the lead from the penalty spot just before the hour mark.
Ben Coker was fouled in the area and Freddie Ladapo slotted home the resultant spot-kick.
But Aiden O'Brien earned the Lions a share of the spoils and the same player may have claimed all three points late on for the visitors when he missed a gilt-edged opportunity in the closing stages.

jeffrey - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - linkArticles like this are outstanding. Articles providing insight into the semiconductor industry players always seem to be my favorite. Visits to Nvidia's offices, graphics architecture chats with AMD/ATI, and Intrinsity's acquisition are very much appreciated.
I will now go click on some ads as a reward! Reply
deputc26 - Sunday, May 02, 2010 - linkSo now we know what the "A4" is. A "fastmathed" A8, but on what node? I've heard both 45 nm and 65nm... Reply
ganeshts - Sunday, May 02, 2010 - linkIt is most definitely 45nm! I think ChipWorks already has the A4 decapped (XRayed and compared with a Xilinx 45nm chip) to confirm that. Reply
greylica - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - linkIts' very interesting that the industry change it's own about performance. Now, we are in the times of ''performance per watt'' , but it seems that the progress in microprocessor architeture is making the industry and the consumer loose it's way to understand what is REAL performance. Proprietary Instruction set optimizations, and performance diferences between processors that use the same Instruction set are getting to a point that we all start to get confused. BUMP.... Reply
dagamer34 - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - linkAnand, this part doesn't make much sense: "On the other hand, if the aim was to prevent the competition from getting access to this technology, it may succeed to quite an extent."
Just about everyone is already working on Cortex A9 designs, with most of them shipping this year. Playing keep away with souped up A8 technology is nice, but I doubt anyone would really bother with it now that nVidia is offering it's Tegra 2 series of chips for OEMs to use by the end of the year. Reply
ltcommanderdata - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - linkI believe they are referring to the domino logic technology which will in theory allow future Apple versions of the ARM Cortex A9 to scale to higher clock speeds and be faster than regular reference ARM Cortex A9 designs. Reply
ganeshts - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - linkdagamer34, Thanks for your observation. Maybe, the context wasn't clear in the article.
My intent was to suggest that Apple might not want other companies like TI / Nvidia / Broadcom etc. to be able to utilize Intrinsity's Fast14 technology (not Cortex-A8s or Cortex-A9s in general).
Fast14 could potentially speed up the implementations of the core CPU in app processors which could be seen as a competition to Apple's own A4 lineup. (if the companies desigining them were to license the FastCore versions) Reply
faydrus - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkDoes domino logic really matter anyway? The Intel Nehalem processor is pure static CMOS, no more domino logic there. If a high performance processor has no use for domino logic, why would an embedded processor want it? Reply
metafor - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkThat doesn't necessarily mean domino logic isn't useful anymore. Nehalem had simply gotten to a point of complexity where hand-designing domino circuits (especially since they moved to an internal IP-based chip assembly flow) was too cumbersome considering the benefits (and I suspect their 32nm node was a bit too variable).
In much smaller processors like the A9, it could indeed benefit. Now, there are significant trade-offs to domino logic -- area and power will suffer -- but if strategically used, it can definitely give a competitive edge in A9 class processors.
That's not to say Apple isn't micro-architecting their own ARM processor anyway. They aren't hiring a bunch of chip micro-architects for no reason :) Reply
Mike1111 - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - linkI only heard that some of PA Semi's engineers left Apple, what's the source for "MOST of the PA Semi engineers have since moved on"? And I wouldn't be a 100% sure that Apple is gonna stick with Samsung for 32nm/28nm, GlobalFoundries would be a good alternative. Reply
ganeshts - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - link@Mike1111, Thanks for your inputs.
When I mentioned that 'MOST' of the PA Semi engineers had moved on, I referred to the top brass consisting of PA Semi's CEO / CTO / COO etc. A quick Google search reveals that all these guys had indeed moved on to Agnilux. As for the rest of the PA Semi employees who stayed on at Apple, I am sure they are no different from any other Silicon Valley VLSI engineers that Apple could hire since Apple doesn't seem to be using any IP / specific knowhow of PA Semi in their products.
As for GlobalFoundries, yes, Apple could always shift foundries, but the acquisition of Intrinsity lessens this probability, in my opinion. Considering that Intrinsity engineers are very familiar with the Samsung process, it would probably increase development time if they were to shift to another vendor. Note that Intrinsity's technology is closely tied to the process and foundry. So, it is unlikely that Apple would take the risk of schedule slip. Of course, this is just a conjecture, and stranger things have happened in the industry. If I have left off some specific angle which would make Apple shift foundry allegiance, please do let us know :) I am very open to corrections. Reply
MySchizoBuddy - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkCorrection. Apple isn't using any PA.Semi specific IP "that we know off". Apple is too secretive to draw conclusion that PA.Semi was a lost acquisition. Reply
ganeshts - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkWell, this is the same thing that people were talking about when no Raycer Graphics products appeared under Apple's name even after 3 - 4 years of the acquisition.
Many professional analysts ( and I am not one :) ) have long since beaten this to death, and I will put it down here again : "PA Semi's IP at acquisition time was a 25W ARM processor based chip. There is no product line that Apple currently has, which could be using this type of chip. If Apple indeed had planned on using PA Semi IP of some sort in any of their products, the best bet would have been in the iPad -- of which, rumors abounded towards the beginning of this year. This didn't turn out to be true. There has been no tangible benefit (except for engineering resources) to Apple from the PA Semi purchase yet -- even after 2 years of the acquisition"
I don't find anything which would make me disagree with the analysts' conclusions. Reply
Mike1111 - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkIf Apple is sticking with Samsung, any information out there what's Samsung's LP roadmap for 28nm (if they do half-node) and 22nm/20nm looks like? I couldn't find anything concrete (only that 32nm and 28nm will be rolled out this year - is that HP(L) or LP, risk or volume?). GlobalFoundries seems to be on an aggressive schedule, as is TSMC (although their problems with 40nm make me skeptical that they can really deliver 20LP in volume production in the third quarter of 2013 as announced).
As for PA Semi: If Apple is really trying to develop its own CPU core (like Scorpion), then it's no wonder that they weren't involved in the A4. A custom ARMv7 architecture won't find its way into products until 2012 at the earliest. 2012 would also be the year when I expect a dual-core Cortex-A9 (or similar custom architecture) to come to the iPhone, so that would fit (because I don't think dual-cores make much sense for smartphones before available in 32nm/28nm). Reply
ganeshts - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkExcept for TSMC's public roadmap (which, in my opinion, is something to save face while their 40nm fiasco continues), foundries usually put their roadmaps under NDA. So, it is not surprising that we are unable to find out information about Samsung's plan beyond 28nm.
GlobalFoundries looks aggressive and acts aggressive because they want to attract customers (Remember that they are starting out completely new!).
@ Mike1111, Yes, I agree with you on PA Semi possibly working on ARMv7 architecture (assuming Apple does have the architecture license). This custom architecture could be further accelerated using Intrinsity's technology too. This is exactly what Tom Halfhill suggests in Microprocessor Report dated April 26th, 2010.
Note that Qualcomm licensed ARMv7 in 2005, and it took them till 2009 end to start shipping products based on this. If one assumes PA Semi team started this in 2008, it would take them the timeframe that you mention to get designed into a working phone or tablet. However, loss of the top guys from PA Semi would have definitely pushed this behind schedule. As I noted in the article, Intrinsity tech, if applied to this custom architecture, is only bound to delay this further.
Just look at how the A4 Hummingbird designed in 6 - 8 months by Intrinsity seems to be better than the Snapdragon Scorpion which took more than 4 years! When Apple comes out with their version, I am sure a stand alone processor from ARM itself (like the off-the-shelf Cortex-A9's successor) would have better performance; That way, I am not sure Apple would be taking full advantage of Intrinsity's tech. Reply
Mike1111 - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkThanks for the response!
Regarding Samsung's foundry business: I couldn't even find detailed information on Samsung's 32nm and 28nm process, not just the stuff beyond 28nm. Is that information out there? I would be really interested in knowing when the 28LP volume production is scheduled to start. Early enough for the 2012 iPhone (AFAIK that would mean Q3/2011 or earlier)?
Halfhill's Intrinsity article sounds good, but since I don't have a subscription I can't really access it. But in the part I could access he says that Intrinsity has already put more than 1 year into a Fast14 implementation of ARM's Cortex-A9 dual-core processor. Interesting. Reply
ganeshts - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkMike, an article appeared in ElectronicsWeekly just today:
Summary from the above link: Looks like Samsung will offer 32, 28 and 22nm ; Q3 2010 is when 32nm volume production might start ; No hard dates provided for other nodes. Reply
Mike1111 - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkThanks for the link!
Q3/2010 for 32LP volume production is very good. Just risk production or 32HP in Q3/2010 wouldn't have suprised me.
That means that a 32nm SoC in 2011's iPhone could be theoretically possible. Although, going from 65nm to 32nm in 2 years in a smartphone sounds too good to be true. And if Apple wants to continue to use the same SoC in the iPhone (Q2/2010) as in the iPad (Q1), it gets even more unlikely. Reply
Mike1111 - Thursday, April 29, 2010 - linkCorrection: And if Apple wants to continue to use the same SoC in the iPhone (Q2/2011) as in the iPad (Q1/2011), it gets even more unlikely. Reply
Mat3zz - Friday, April 30, 2010 - linkThis article seems to imply that ATI used Fast14 in their GPU's. I'm pretty sure they never did. When ATI released the R600 series in 2007, it was asked of Eric Demers in a Beyond3D interview about Fast14 and he made it clear it wasn't in their product. Radeons haven't increased in clock speed much since then. If ATI paid Intrinsity, it was probably for nothing. Where's my Ghz GPU!? Reply
ganeshts - Friday, April 30, 2010 - linkThanks for your comment and bringing the interview to my attention.
When ATI first struck a deal with Intrinsity, analysts predicted that Fast14 would be used for ATI GPUs. Unfortunately, it never came to pass. It is possible that Fast14 technology is not amenable to GPU designs but more to conventional microprocessor architectures, but ATI realized this only later.
It would be interesting to find out the duration of the licensing agreement that ATI stuck with Intrinsity, because this would actually give light on whether ATI would get affected at all by this purchase in any way. AMD / ATI could still use this technology in future process nodes for some other products, if they still ahve a valid license. Reply
toyotabedzrock - Saturday, May 08, 2010 - linkDid you just suggest that Nvidia would use TSMC's 28nm node right after it came out? Reply
ven - Friday, September 23, 2011 - linkIam a Novice in hardware, so if my question seems silly then don't consider it.
ARM provides architectural design details and fab company's like samsung or TSMC will implement that in the silicon for their customers like (Apple),then what role does apple do in their A5 or A4 chip?. . Just printing their Apple White Logo on top of the chip package?..
so,please someone clarify my doubt. Reply
MAKEMESMILE - Sunday, May 13, 2012 - linkI am currently writing an "essay" about Apple's acquisitions and couldn't find an article explaining the whole story of Intrinsity's purchase.
This text is amazing. It gives an holistic view of the acquisition, provides accurate informations and some tracks for further digging.
Thanks for sharing ! You made my day. Reply

The Enemy WithinRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I know I'm not welcome
But I keep coming back
Eventually I'll
Be under your attack
At a time you will choose
I will be swept away
Although ultimately
I will return some day
Keep in mind through it all
Part of me comes from you
So you'll win the battle
But the war starts anew
What am I?
HintThe sight of me is not pleasing
I may even cause one's (a word that rhymes with "pleasing")
Answerhousehold dust
The line "part of me comes from you" is a reference to the fact that household dust originates partly from human skin cells and human hair.
For the hint, the missing rhyming word is "sneezing". This line is a reference to the fact that dust may worsen hay fever.
The title is a reference to dust as being "the enemy within" your own home.
What Next?

Remarks to the press: Ambassador Wittig on Syria
(near-verbatim transcript of remarks to the press following a Security Council meeting on Syria)
"You have probably heard from Council members the gist of what Mr. Brahimi has said. He painted a very dire and dramatic picture. We share his analysis that the Syrian people don't have a safe place to go anymore - and he gave us some very disconcerting figures: 67% of the hospitals for instance are damaged. That's all very dire and grim.
Mr. Brahimi also was right in our opinion when he said that there's no military solution. We have to look for political solutions now.
My government very clearly supported his initiative to reach a cessation of violence, a ceasefire over the Eid festivities. My foreign minister has said so last week already, after he had met Mr Brahimi in Turkey. Now, this is what we support.
We remain cautious and have to remain realistic: too many times Assad has not honoured his pledges. So we attach hope to the initiative of Mr. Brahimi but at the same time we remain cautious and realistic in view of the fact that Assad and his government have not honoured their pledges in the past. The onus is on the Syrian government to deliver, to issue not only a statement - what they will do -, but to see action on the ground, to stop the shelling, to stop the use of aircraft. And of course also we have to convince the opposition to heed the call of Mr. Brahimi. That is what we are doing on all channels.
So let's hope that also this statement that the Council unanimously decided today, which was a good sign, will have an impact. It certainly can strengthen the hand of Mr. Brahimi."

New Yorkers are just cool; especially when they can list designer, animator and illustrator on their resume, work from a camper while travelling across the country with their main squeeze and oh yeah, paint a mural in a New York hotel using none other than Sharpie Paint Markers. Oh, so maybe it's not ALL New Yorkers (althoughhhhhh it is one sweet city) but Dan Cassaro is definitely one of the coolest guys I have had the chance to interview for this humble blog.
Keep on scrollin' to see what Dan has to say about his life in the design world and his AWESOME Sharpie chart…( it may have been the best thing to happen to my week)
Sharpie Artist Interview– Dan Cassaro
Tell me about yourself! Where are you from? Interests? Likes? Dislikes? Pet Peeves?
I'm a designer, animator and illustrator living and working in Brooklyn. I live in the adorable Italian section of Williamsburg and I love it. The area seems to have acclimated to the gentrification more organically than other parts of Williamsburg. There are tons of great old butcher shops and old neighborhood mainstays that seem to exist pretty harmoniously with the new restaurants and bad art school haircuts. I grew up in Long Island and still have complicated feelings about the mall because of that.
Instead of typing out a list of my likes/dislikes I decided to make a little chart for you (using a Sharpie, natch).
What inspires you and your work?
Powerful rock and roll music, old train cars, Dads, the bric-a-brac section at the thrift store and various other ephemera. I think it's important to try and pull from things that go deeper than a aesthetic level. Bruce Springsteen's music is good because it sounds great and is fun to sing along to but there is something happening on a much more visceral level. I think it's good to try to create work from that angle instead of just trying to make visually pleasing images. You don't want to be making graphic design elevator music you know?
How would you describe your style?
I don't know, this is hard. As a designer I'd like to think that style is adapted and applied depending on the project. The illustrator part of me definitely has a common thread that runs through all my work though. I've been thinking that "clumsy modernism" is a pretty good way of explaining what I'd like to achieve with my work. I like the economy and boldness of modernism but all the pretentiousness surrounding it makes me want to barf a little. I want my work to be succinct but just "off" enough to give it charm and approachability. I spent a lot of time in college learning how to kern a headline and now I feel like maybe I'll earned the right to intentionally UN-kern it. A little wonk goes a long way.
You seem to be quite the jack-of-all-trades; working as a designer, animator, and illustrator, what IS it about your work that gets you goin'?
It's a gift to be able to do this for a living. To be able to explore a bunch of different things and put them all under one roof. I'm kind of a poster child of a very non-committal ADD generation and it's a real stroke of luck that I found a career that allows and often rewards that sort of eclecticism. Honestly, I am equal parts overachiever and lazy teenager. Doing something that I love for a living helps me bridge that gap I think and find a middle ground between the two.
How did you get started?
I went to School of Visual Arts when I was a bit older (23) because as I mentioned before, I am a really non-committal person. I fell in love with design because it was so open ended. After school I started freelancing right away. I didn't make a ton of "connections" at school (read: smooching your famous design teacher's butt) but the Internet is the most democratic tool we have and I just tried to get a lot of my personal work out there. I've been lucky enough to have a lot of that personal work eventually turn into a paycheck. That sounds too romantic though. I have also taken tons of s****ty ( gotta keep it PG, here folks) soul-sucking jobs and made tons of things I am not proud of just to pay the bills. A little bit of both.
How did you come to contribute to the ACE Hotel's (NYC) décor?
That place is so cool. I had worked on a project called 50 and 50 and had been talking to some people there about having an opening to showcase all the pieces. They invited me to work on a piece for one of the rooms because of that. It was a really fun project for me. I got to stay at the hotel for a couple of nights and draw all over their walls with Sharpie Oil based paint markers. They last time I got to draw on someones wall was at my friend Dan Volpe's house when I was 16. That was mostly
inappropriate reference drawings though. (sorry for the edits… This is a family establishment!)
Any cool new projects you can tell us about?
This is a dream project but I really want to do it. I want to put on a classic rock laser light show. Like rent out the planetarium and serve beer and blast some Zeppelin while watching some amazing animated horses or something. Wouldn't that be great? I think that there are a lot of outdated but brilliant art forms out their that are just waiting to be brought into a more modern context. These are the kind of projects that I dream about.
Your designs are have a cool edginess to them; how do you come up with new ideas?
I try to stay open to things just happening. Too many people treat design like an assembly line and it makes for a lot of visually acceptable, but flaccid design. I'd like to treat it more like an adventure, more like fine art. I don't stay too married to the sketches that I do (if I sketch at all) and that lets me discover new ways of working. I like having that moment when you discover that you can create something that you didn't know you were capable of before and have it happen almost by accident. My end results often looks very different from my original intentions. That system isn't really conducive to the standard system of client approvals but it's a very exciting way to work. Adventure!
How do you use Sharpie markers in your work? Favorite Sharpie? Why?
I do a lot of my pen work and doodling with Sharpe Fine Point. I usually like using cheap paper and letting the ink pool up in the edges and bleed a bit. It's nice to take those drawings that show a human hand and bring them into the computer and add that dimension. Using pen on paper helps keep me tied to the physical which is something I never want to lose touch with. I used Sharpie paint markers for the mural at the Ace Hotel. It was all kind of fancy type work so I wanted to keep the line work loose and fun. I made sure to only use really wide tip pens for this to keep myself from getting too fussy.
Best part of your "day job" and if you weren't doing this what would you be doing?
The best part of my day job is that I don't have one. It's more of this amorphous work blob that floats around and gloms onto other parts of my life infiltrating weekends and late nights. I mean that in a really good way. I'm sure I end up working a lot more than 40 hours a week but there is nothing better than fitting your work life into your regular life and not the other way around. This summer I spent three months driving around the country in an old camper with my girlfriend and a laptop, seeing America and doing design work. It really got me excited about work in a totally new way; driving across the country is like being in the most amazing graphic design inspiration blog. I feel like I am the luckiest guy in the world to be able to do my job in my basement or on the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
If you could have one super power what would it be and why?
To have a magic playlist that plays the right song all the time, even when you don't know what the right song is. I am willing to accept that 90% of that playlist would be Heart's "Crazy on You."
What trends do you see making it big in 2012/ what are you pumped about in 2012?
More pizza parties, true love triumphing over evil, and a renewed interest in Brenden Fraiser's "earlier, funny films."
Umm who doesnt love a solid pizza party!?! Aka count me in for Dan's 2012 plans, FO SHO! And that, ladies and gentleman, concludes one of my favorite interviews to date; to check out more on Dan, his work and his sparkly personality- pop on over and check out his website and follow him on Twitter and tumblr!

Thousands of people are expected to line the streets of central London to watch floats, carriages, performers - and Jessica Ennis - in the Lord Mayor's Show.
The annual parade marks the inauguration of the 685th Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Roger Gifford, who will be carried through the capital in a golden coach.
Joining him will be Olympic gold medallist Ennis who will have the pleasure of using a Jaguar F-Type sports car.
The car will take the athlete along the three-and-a-half mile route, which passes around Bank and Aldwych.
Before the parade starts, Mr Gifford will arrive in the City on the royal barge Gloriana as it makes its third official outing this year following the Jubilee pageant and Olympic torch relay.
This year's show will showcase the talents of 6,500 people, 18 vintage cars, a tank and a steamroller among others.
It is expected to attract crowds of around half a million people, and will be broadcast live by the BBC.
In a split from tradition, there will be no after-show fireworks this year, with organisers believing 2012 has brought with it enough fireworks.
They said: "After the wonderful Diamond Jubilee and Olympic celebrations this summer, it was felt that there are only so many fireworks we should be sending up in one year. It has been agreed that the display will not take place this year."
Mr Gifford was elected as the 685th Lord Mayor of London in October and hopes all onlookers have a "splendid" day.

Uncle Ralph
My name is John E. Schweitzer. I have much more research to do, but here is a quick overview of my Uncle Ralph's service. He served in Europe during WWII in the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion, the unit which was the object of Joachim Peiper's attrocities at Malmedy, Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmedy_massacre
Though Ralph was not with the men who were captured, he was affected severely by the loss of so many of his friends and the way in which they were killed. Sadly he carried guilt for the rest of his life and suffered what is known today as PTSD. Ralph and brothers Frank Cletus (Clete) Schweitzer 30th ID, John Clement (Clem) Schweitzer Co A, 35th Engineer Combat Battalion (my Dad) were all engaged in the Battle of the Bulge. Ralph at Malmedy, Clete at Spa, Clem at Clervaux, Luxembourg and surrounded in Bastogne with the 101st Airborne. Vincent (Vince) another brother was in Europe as well. I will need to do more research on Vince's service. More to come. Anyone have any information, please add.
