286 <p><a href="http://wwww.upsaid.com/xaosseed/index.php?action=viewcom&id=73" title="Comments ">Comments </a>about my culture shock in Turkey were read into more than I intended for a casual entry, within the limits of writing rapidly whilst tired in a internet cafe, but there were definite lamebrain comments of my own to justify any criticism. I take a great deal of heart from "<i>I think it's just American arrogance of the most frustrating type: that which comes from someone who should know better. </i>" and "<i>If I thought he was bona-fide certified unintelligent, I could cope, its just.... like watching a Mustang up on blocks being used as a birdfeeder. Its just such an abuse of potential.</i>" I may yet be saved.</p>
287
288 <p>Theres more, but they portray my emotional state at the time, and I'm not touching a thing out ... whatever.</p>
289
290 <p>Its been a big 24 hrs. I've spent a lot of time thinking and so has Serena. Reading other peoples comments on us has its own effect, and I'm more convinced that whats being said by others isn't what I thought it was (poking fun at someone they despise), but the opposite (extreme annoyance at stupidity and waste in someone that could do better). </p>
291
292 <p><a href="http://www.upsaid.com/ironlemur/" title="Iron Lemur">Iron Lemur</a>, my apology, albiet a month late, is now pending, but to Serena, not to you. I didn't "chase tail," but I wasn't sensitive to how Serena would respond to my blogs.</p>
293
294 <p>Theres some comments reposted on Serena's blog that weren't found by my hitting Ctrl-F and typing in Riz... I've been wrong in the way I've treated Heather as far as showing up is concerned. It never seemed to bother her so I didn't ascribe it much importance, but _even_ HeatherW, that pinnacle of patience, gets frustrated at things. Just when I thought I had her figured out... (laughs wryly. She'll never let me)</p>
295 rizwank 1.1
296 <p>Serena noted something:<br />
297 <i>Even if Heather is at times rather critical.....I can tell by the frequency of mentioning Riz that she does have some amount of concern, care and friendship for him. I vaguely recall a person telling me how its not worse to hate a person (as opposed to loving them), cause it is still a form of passion or concern.....the worse thing is to not care at all, to be indifferent. So, while a bit hurtful, the fact that Heather was concerned enough to write about him in her blog (frequently even), is a very clear sign that she cares about Riz and what he does.</i></p>
298
299 <p>I take hope in that.<br />
300 In a lot of things. (My) Heather said some positive things today too, so I'm feeling quite better, but perhaps a bit wiser for the ware...(sp?)</p>
301
302 <p>folks out there; I'm going to be honest on my blog and avoid being stupid... Instead of mocking tones, if you could write your opinons honestly and directly, I'd genuinely apprecaite it. Things *have* been called to light, whether I like them or not. Comment boxes remain open. Post links and I'll read them. </p>
303
304 <p>I've been less careful with Serena than I should. She just asked why I didn't invite her to the S&G concert that HeatherW and I have tickets for ... I didn't want to have a tense situation when we weren't going with a big group and I'm not sure how they'd get along, or how Heather would like another person coming with us. That I didn't invite Serena isn't what I did wrong. That I didn't explain my reasons for not doing so where. She confronted me about that in a quick IM, and I realized that I should have explained that to her.</p>
305
306 <p>I'm usually careful with girlfriends and what they think, and either getting used to the situation, pure-tiredness, cynicism, knowing that Serena loves me (no matter what I do), I'm being less careful. The girls in the past have liked me because I treated them well, and Serena deserves no less. If I stay with her, I should give her what she deserves, and needs. If I'm not willing to, I'm just hurting her by staying together. Thanks to all of you out there in blogland for pointing out the stupidity of my past actions. I might not have liked the message but the surprise of yesterday cleared the way for some re-thinking. So yes, Curious, its a gift.</p>
307
308 <p>In other news,<br />
309 What does it say about me that Tom is my favorite Corleone?</p>
310
311 <p>Oh, Serena posted a ton of surveys on her site...</p>

451 ust finished an episode called "Telephone" from This American Life; the first half is quite compelling. Snippet:<br />
452 <i><br />
453 Stories of who we are on the phone, of of things we learn on the phone, of things that happen on the phone that don't happen anywhere else.<br />
454 Prologue. Host Ira Glass explains why some old answering machine messages from a decade ago have such power for him: there's a special power to recordings of phone conversations. The phone is intimate, more intimate than a photograph. Even when the person on the phone is a public figure like Lyndon Johnson. He plays some tapes from the Simon & Schuster audiobook of Johnson phone tapes, Taking Charge, The Johnson White House Tapes, 1963-1964 , by Michael Beschloss, to demonstrate. (7 minutes)<br />
455 Act One. When the Wall Came Tumbling Down. The story of a teenager, illegal drug use, lying, stealing, and a kid's life changed completely when he heard how he sounded on the phone.</p>
456
457 <p>Act Two. When the telephone is your medium. Sure you can try to get your pop songs onto records, or on the radio, or onto MTV. But what happens if your medium of choice is... the telephone? Before they had record contracts, the band They Might Be Giants distributed their songs through the medium of Answering Machine. They created their own Dial-a-Song line. They say it taught them a lot about songwriting, because they could hear which songs people hated, because people hung up on the bad songs. It taught them how to do better musical arrangements for their songs. Contributing editor Sarah Vowell visited John Linnell and John Flansberg in Brooklyn and talked to them about Dial-a-Song. The Dial-a-Song phone number: 718/387-6962. (15 minutes)<br />
458 Song: They Might Be Giants "I'm Sick" (A song they wrote about This American Life, for us)<br />
459 </i><br />
460 <a href="http://207.70.82.73/ra/90.ram" title="Real audio stream">Real audio stream</a>... if you want it in MP3, ive got it converted.</p>
461
462 <p>Speaking of Telephone, I've been a bit stuck on "Long Distance Lover" by Sheena Easton; I've been thinking of it in context with Serena, odd enough because I'm not the first person, but the seemingly cruel Long Distance Lover. Serena liked the song. "Very 80s" <a href="http://www.geekymedia.com/telephone.mp3" title="Listen">Listen</a> to it here.</p>
463 rizwank 1.1
464 <p>Any "They might be Giants" fans out there? All I know is "Istanbul," (which I hummed constantly in Istanbul, much to the chagrin of ... well myself. Any recommended albums to start with?</p>
465
466 <p>Ira Glass is touring a bit, I can't wait to see him speak. I'm still annoyed at my not attending the Prarie Home Companion performance in Anahiem. </p>

468 <p>Saturday, April 10, 2004 - UCLA Performing Arts, Royce Hall, Los Angeles, CA. Evening presentation with Chris Ware. <br />

470
471 <p>Thers a big part of me wanting to become a Radio Producer, even given that my talent lies in engineering. Probably only for public radio though. Maybe. </p>
472
473 <p>Barry once described working in Radio as a "bug that bites you and never lets go. You can't help wanting to work in the field ..." ... Its kinda true, and might even be moreso for radio than even television. So much to do...</p>

598 irst, my coverage of the Mirrodin pre-release.</p>
599
600 <p>Serena and I had a middling time together the night before, but it ended with her having a few drinks, having a heart to heart with Shadiya, Serena getting annoyed with me and me asking "Should I go home?"... </p>
601
602 <p>Woke up the next day, snoozing as constantly as possible, until about 8:30. Dan asked me to be at the Hitlon by 9. Went to take a shower, (Shad - "You mean you'll grace our shower without shower slippers?!"), watched the cats dart away the second I turned on the water (they are so cute), showered shaved and got out as quickly as possible. Serena wanted me to come to bed for a while, but I had told myself I wasn't going to be late (I felt bad after having made HeatherW late for the Scourge pre-rel, and I *was* working this one)... We had a chat about how much she needed me and whether I needed her or not... It maybe a male thing, but I don't like *needing* someone... I try to be independent, am quite poor at it at times, and I need my friends... but needing someone I am dating? That just seemed like beyond my capabilities. I don't know at the moment, I'm pondering.. Check her blog for more details... </p>
603
604 <p>Anyhow, back to days events. Split and headed over to LAX Hilton, noticing that my car was starting to perform quite poorly... Acceleration was quite difficult and Sapna would rev up to five-k rpms with no noticable change in acceleration. More on that ...</p>
605
606 <p>Mum just finished writing about a half hour's worth of email to Farhana at which point IE crashed with an error in mshtml.dll ... I'm getting less and less impressed with XP's stability (probably because more and more crap has been installed over time) ... I'm getting random BAD_POOL_CALLER and IRQ_EQUAL_OR_LESS errors for little apparent reasons, hard system crashes while visiting tvguide.com for some reason (doesn't like Flash?), random reboots... That mshtml.dll errors been around for a while now, IE doesn't seem to like yahoo's data entry javascript... *sigh*</p>
607
608 <p>Arrived just before, changed to black pants and my referee shirt in the parking lot, and ran up ... Dan didn't comment on my tardiness, assigned me to someone and the work began... about an hour of handing out DCI forms to new players, and chiding old players for forgetting their numbers. After the first waves were seated, we setup some of the teams (which were a debacle and filled up *very* quickly). I wish HeatherW had come, I would have gladly given up judging to play a team event with her and someone, but she was adamant, and I felt little need to tempt her. </p>
609
610 rizwank 1.1 <p>There was a lot of handing out result slips, seating new rounds, listening closely for "Judge" and looking over watching peoples games. </p>
611
612 <p>Some of the questions I was getting...<br />
613 <i>If a creature with double-strike is blocked and the blocking creature is destroyed by first combat damage, does the main round of damage get through?</i> No.<br />
614 <i>If a creature with double-strike is unblocked, does it deal double damage to the opponent?</i> Yes, but some judge was going around telling people that the answer was No... that caused a bit of a problem.<br />
615 <i>Can you equip a creature with pro-artifacts with equipment?</i> No.<br />
616 <i>Does an enchantment target its, well, target?</i> Only when its being played, not after.<br />
617 <i>What are the rules for trample damage when blockers are pro-quality or if they are gang blocked</i> The usual answer, lethal damage to all blockers.<br />
618 <i>Does <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Vulshok%20Battlemaster')" title="Card Info on Vulshok Battlemaster">Vulshok Battlemaster</a> steal control of your opponents equipment? Does it at least equip with their equipment?</i> No, Yes.<br />
619 <i>Why does my opponent have a Wild Mongrel out?</i> Hes cheating.</p>
620
621 <p>That kinda stuff. Nothing too terribly difficult. </p>
622
623 <p>There weren't insane questions about <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Liar%27s%20Pendulum')" title="Card Info on Liar's Pendulum">Liar's Pendulum</a>, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Platinum%20Angel')" title="Card Info on Platinum Angel">Platinum Angel</a>, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Glissa%20Sunseeker%20')" title="Card Info on Glissa Sunseeker ">Glissa Sunseeker</a>(except my catching a player for not emptying out his manapool after using Glissa, it doesn't spend the mana, just counts it)...</p>
624
625 <p>Colorless lifegain was prevalent with <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Loxodon%20Warhammer')" title="Card Info on Loxodon Warhammer">Loxodon Warhammer</a> out there.</p>
626
627 <p>I loved that Platinum Angel is specifically cited, pointing out that if a player leaves the play area, he/she is considered to have given up control of Platinum Angel and therefore loses the game. Attacking a judge, cheating etc. will still result in a game loss (or more ;p) </p>
628
629 <p>Heather just called, I'll finish this post later. (Finishing now)</p>
630
631 rizwank 1.1 <p>Wave 14 had waited about four hours to start, enough people had dropped to accomdate them, but only in between seats of other Waves, meaning that they couldn't be relied upon to find places to go, they had to be seat assigned (Group 1, table 18, group 2 table 19, group 3 table 25) etc... I'm amazed at the total stupidity of people at times. First, I've never left a tournament without actually dropping, but plenty of people just walked away, leaving us clueless at the end of the round when their slip hadn't come in. Other people didn't turn in their slips, how do you expect us to start the next round that you've been clamoring for if you've got the result sheet in your pocket...</p>
632
633 <p>A girl and guy group arrived late to Wave 14 after I had sorted everyone out and was about to award Match wins to the unpaired folks... I started to bitch at them, having absorbed the attitude of those working around me... About a minute later I caught myself, smiled and said "No problem, lets set you up," ... No reason to be surly, me thinks; just because the more jaded coords and judges are. I ended up hanging out with that couple later in the day.</p>
634
635 <p>Adrian kicked some butt with his numerous bounce, and removal spells; I do wish i had played, as Mirrodin looks like a ton of fun. At six I went outside into the working cell area to notify mum that the people were still there and that I might not be able to make it to the wedding as we had planned. It wasn't a wedding of someone close or dear, it was more of a social obligation. I actually was trying to commit properly to this task at hand, even though I wouldn't have minded splitting just then. Also didn't want to risk whatever rewards we were getting.</p>
636
637 <p>By 10 things calmed down and I talked more with this couple; girls name is Jennifer, and of course I can't remember the guys name. He had 12 packs of Mirr that he won, and after being shown variations on games by Dan and the other judges (Pack Wars, and some variation where you play out of a random stack of cards with infinite mana) we came upon the idea for playing Draft. We got a fourth, I paid him $10 for his 3 boosters (the winner of the draft took all, I knew I wouldn't win but it was fun, therefore worth it), and we drafted. As usual, my picks were quick and generally sub par. I had thought so much about bounce that I almost immediately went to blue; and ended up with an average (At best) <img src="http://www.geekymedia.com/magic/blue_mana.gif" height="12" width="12" alt="blue_mana" /> <img src="http://www.geekymedia.com/magic/green_mana.gif" height="12" width="12" alt="green_mana" /> deck, with some decent equipment, including the lifegainer.</p>
638
639 <p>I lost to him 0-2, but put up a big fight in the last game, but <img src="http://www.geekymedia.com/magic/red_mana.gif" height="12"
640 width="12" alt="red_mana" /> <img src="http://www.geekymedia.com/magic/black_mana.gif" height="12" width="12" alt="black_mana" /> was a bit hard to deal with; especially as he had a number of <img src="http://www.geekymedia.com/magic/red_mana.gif" height="12"
641 width="12" alt="red_mana" /> fatties while I had chump blockers and cheap-ass lifegain keeping me floating. I was also drawing like mad thanks <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Farsight%20Mask')" title="Card Info on Farsight Mask">Farsight Mask</a>. It was 11 by then. Slightly miffed that I couldn't even keep what I drafted, I took what cash I had left, $1.50 and bet a rare against it, <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('March%20of%20the%20Machines')" title="Card Info on March of the Machines">March of the Machines</a>. </p>
642
643 <p>I played the girlfriend. Her deck was sub-par as well, but was quite workable. I always have trouble choosing colors and knowing when to change and when to stay... I really really need to work on my draft. Ger can attest to the troubles I have. I played a good game, nearly dealing her a fatal blow save for a surprise combat trick from her hand; and got pummeled soon after. </p>
644
645 <p>Got a few cards in my pocket from the packs Dan threw us to teach me pack wars, including some rares that are fun... theres one that I almost got but lost to Jennifer who was also being taught in Pack Wars, a enchantment that reads : 1 <img src="http://www.geekymedia.com/magic/white_mana.gif" height="12" width="12" alt="white_mana" /> : Give all your creatures +1/+1 until end of turn. Thats a chase rare, methinks. (I just learned that term from Heather, cool eh?)</p>
646
647 <p>Leaving the hotel, I find that my mother has been worried about me for the past X hours, even calling Serena in her worry and the LAX Hilton. I point out that I told them that I wouldn't be coming and that the LAX Hilton isn't South Central LA... I make the short drive to Torrance, visiting our family friends, the Hajis, spend a few moments with their son, Ali-Khan, a friend of mine; and wander off to bed.</p>
648
649 <p>I'm debating if i should buy a common/uncommon set of this set. A lot of the commons are shit, and it seems more economical designing a deck via proxy and buying just what I need... Not having massive binders will hurt the part of me that is very pleased with my organizing, but thats alright. I don't need to have every slot filled, most of the cards sit doing nothing. Yeah, that sounds good. *thinks* I've got a box of mirr that I'm temtped to open, but its for my offical Simon and Garfunkel fund.... :) turns out my heather is going as well as HeatherW on the same day ... and thanks to Heather(W) we've got great seats... a bit spendy but c'est la vie. Judging one more event (Oct 11) should do it.</p>
650
651 <p>*sigh* Every deck that seems fun to play has 4 <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Exalted%20Angels')" title="Card Info on Exalted Angels">Exalted Angels</a> and 4 <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Eternal%20Dragons')" title="Card Info on Eternal Dragons">Eternal Dragons</a>, not cheap cards by any means. <a href="javascript:autoCardWindow('Wrath%20of%20God')" title="Card Info on Wrath of God">Wrath of God</a>'s are hard to come by. Even Hammer of Borgadin... (however you spell it)</p>

776 otice the site loads so much quicker now? I updated the blogroll on the right with caching code to archive the current blog rolls every half day. geekymedia has to fetch the links less and the main page comes totally from local sources (save for twice a day).</p>
777
778 rizwank 1.1 <p>Thanks to <a href="http://photomatt.net/scripts/blogroll" title="Fancy Blogrolling">Fancy Blogrolling</a> for the script, and for reminding me that I could have fixed this problem months ago if i had either actually searched for a solution, or opened up any PHP manual. It was quite easily done.</p>
779
780 <p>I'm getting enough traffic that once every half day should be fine, I think. Compare <a href="http://www.geekymedia.com/oldlinkage.php" title="old ">old</a> and <a href="http://www.geekymedia.com/linkage.php" title="new">new</a> load times. I think you'll be impressed.</p>

905 fter a civilized chat with HeatherW last night and a good nights sleep, I awoke and read more of the blog.</p>
906
907 <p>I still don't like it. Not because of what Heather said but because of the comments. Heather at least knows me, the rest have only second and third-generation comments to go by, and their comments are mocking and scathing.</p>
908
909 <p>That being said, I'm used to taking them with a half pound of salt, so...</p>
910
911 <p>Curious; a well stated and polite argument. Response follows:</p>
912
913 <p>The Ego Bubble (tm) was formed in Elemntary school onwards... Being teased, harassed and beat up often enough, authority figures said "Its becaues you are smart and they are jealous." It wasn't always, in retrospect, I had some personal habits that weren't going to vault me to a popularity list anyhow, but there was some truth in it. I offer this not as an excuse but as a clarification.</p>
914
915 <p>Nature of blogging needs to be covered at some point, but yes, not today.</p>
916
917 <p>As for the sugar coating and all; I would have preferred more honesty from Heather, but she is right, most of what she said (except the random bits of contempt, and that I'm full of it) have been expressed one way or ther other; and I listen to her. She knows how highly I regard her opinion, and I can't even blame her for not being totally upfront. In the end, whats done is done and I'm moving on.</p>
918
919 <p>Criticism comes from enough places around me already, plenty from the parents (despite Heather's assurance that my mother has a massive blindspot regarding me; she reserves negative comments directly for me, she knows not to share them with Heather), but I've come to rely on honesty from friends like Heather (now I mean "my heather") for telling me when something is wrong. I get it from HeatherW as well, just more subtly, and sometimes via blog.</p>
920
921 <p>I refuse to simplify it to the Gift/Curse setup... Its brought up issues that I had put aside to bring more focus on school, but thats part of life. I'll consider some opinons, but they've already been tainted by my not so positive opinion of the commenters. I'm not going to just let it blow over though; theres stuff to think about.</p>
922
923 <p><i>"Two of our LA friends spent the evening picking over the entire contents of my blog. It's not that I regret anything I said...it's just going to be dull to have to justify several months of random bile all at once. :) "</i></p>
924
925 rizwank 1.1 <p>Anyone who reads blogs in mass amounts deserves trouble, I'm now deciding. If I start reading Serena's blogs, I'm going to do it section by section to avoid getting overwhelmed. I'm going to do more blog reading, but remember the warning that I had constantly <i>planned</i> to put onto my site, but never actually got around to. <b>I write these when I'm moved to, meaning that I'm generally not thinking rationally or equitably. These are stories laced with hyperbole, and should be taken as such.</b></p>
926
927 <p>Also, Heathers got interesting stories now that I read through, instead of doing a IE find for "Riz." Context, butterfly, context. Of course, Serena looked for comments about her and found some things to think about herself. And shes worried about me, the sweet thing. (Shes convinced that Heather does care for me, else she wouldn't spend time writing about being frustrated when I don't show)</p>
928
929 <p>As for posting quotes from conversations with Heather, notice that its rarely about her, partially because she doesn't talk much about herself, granted, but mostly because its like this... if it affects my relationship with her, its fairgame. If it doesn't, it isn't. Its not up to me to post about *other* peoples personal problems...</p>
930
931 <p>I'm tempted to read the other sites that searching maven Serena has found, but I'll leave those for another day, and will read slowly. I'm not sure I'll accept any arguments on privacy, they arent really valid for a blog (even when I've tried to use that argument myself). I also haven't been reading as many blogs as I should; time to setup a daily RSS feed for myself or something. </p>
932
933 <p>I still owe you guys that rant on infidelity. (By the way, it was my bitterness at everyone around me being unfaithful; Otabek commenting on his many girlfriends "Once you are seven steps outside the home, you are no longer married.")</p>

1060
1061 <p>I'm starting to decide blogging about other people is a bad idea. Serena gets hurt when reading my ranting blogs (that usually have nothing do to with her), I avoid reading hers to be worried by her manic blog (which give other people the impressing that I intend to cause her hurt), and now HeatherW's blog, while quite possibly accurate, (albiet cynical), was too much hurt, too quickly, from someone I trusted, even expected to tell me the truth directly. </p>
1062
1063 <p>Its not the opinions that she holds; they've been held by other people, but those that I hate anyway. I've always been unbalanced as a person, with some traits more developed than others, and those that I've set aside while I work on responsibility and such are now back in the forefront. Social life had been worked out, it was okay; it would get better when I moved to LA and when I planned to make it up to the people that I had inconvienenced while so far away. I want to say its some feeling of betrayal, but I'm not nearly dramatic enough to think along those lines. Its as innocous as my posting about pretty Russian girls, stating a fact, but ignoring the hurt and the insecurities it would bring up in someone else, rational or not. (Yes, point made.) [Although, I still contest that talking about me directly rather than making observations about a set of people are two different situations]</p>
1064
1065 <p>Its just the pattern of my life that I've been trying to organize for the past five years has suddenly been ripped again, and there are frays everywhere... knots long ago tied are now undone, confidences shattered, comforts destroyed. </p>
1066
1067 <p>I've written five emails to HeatherW and deleted them all before sending them. I can't begrudge someone their own opinion, especially when some of them are right. Its just that I prefer honesty from people, not two different faces. I like to know when im held in that much contempt or disapproval though, and the next time (yes, there will be a next time*) I see HeatherW is going to be annoyingly tense, and then it will be okay. Maybe she'll be more honest with me and stop despising me in secret. Maybe the relationship will become more balanced as I've always wanted it to be after work, but at the moment, all I can feel is pain. (Anger doesn't come easily to me.)</p>
1068
1069 <p>* - I don't break ties with people that I care about unless I have a reason to; I don't build grudges easily. Someone can think that I'm totally average and full of it and still be a friend. There are those who are. Are they right? Coping mechanisms, character flaws, whatever you call them; I survive by knowing that there is something special that shows itself... Just not all the time. Its my worldview.</p>
1070
1071 <p>Oh, how did this post (that was simply supposed to mention the existance of HeatherW's blog) get to this length?<br />
1072 rizwank 1.1 Serena's quite worried about me (an interesting flip in the scenario) and I'm going to bed. Only an iPod playing Brahms will work tonight.</p>
1073
1074 <p>EDIT : We talked, I feel better, and mature for not having dragged it out. Anyhow, its over. Back to normality with a slightly damaged personality quilt, but nothing that some stitching can't fix.</p>

1590 ts an odd things about pretty girls. You (and by this I mean, both myself and probably most of the men out there) just want to look at them. It isn't ogling persay and I'm not fantasizing how they are in bed, I just .. want to look.</p>
1591
1592 <p>I got a hair cut today and was reminded how the prettiest girls in Victorville either work at the hair salon or are there. Is there something about the job that makes the girls pretty or do pretty girls get attracted to such fields.</p>
1593
1594 <p>I think its the first. I've always thought of myself as not caring much whether a girl is wearing makeup, or a cute skirt, adornments, or even nice bodies for that matter... I do have a weakness for accessories, as hats/head dressings, nicely done hair, earrings... but I guess I was wrong. It might follow that those in the beauty industry would take more time on their own appearance than your average josephine, but does that mean that I'm actually as shallow as the next guy out there? Or is it not being shallow so much as the point of such dressing up is to improve ones look subtly without calling attention to the dressing up to begin with? </p>
1595
1596 <p>I'm reminded of Russia and pretty Russian girls. Is it because, as a culture, they emphasize dress and looks more than others? I didn't think it was possible for a culture to be more ego-centric than our American culture, but we don't always dress nice..</p>

1598 <p>I acknowledge that looking nice has as much to do with ones own self-perception as it does for showing off/attracting others; I know when I'm properly shaven, with a nice hair cut and my favorite set of clothes (HeatherW: Just remembered our conversation about favorite clothing, and the different perceptions between men and women of certain pieces *laughs*), I feel more confident, and I don't doubt that it is similar for girls..</p>
1599
1600 <p>What do you all think? Are pretty girls more attracted to the beauty industry, or does the beauty industry re-inforce the girls want to be pretty?</p>

1604 <p>After doing a bit of research about Globalization for Sis I'm tempted to see the rate of growth of McDonalds and CocaCola, the ultimate american brands. Again, the weirdest brand I saw overseas was the Arbys in Taksim Square in Istanbul.<br />

1732 <p>An anonymous reader writes "According to The Inquirer, Microsoft has used their Xbox Live Vole System to patch any Xboxes that access it....without asking their permission before installing the software. However, in this occurrence, the bug appears to be the 'dashboard bug' that allows Linux to be easily installed on an Xbox. Further, according to The Xbox Linux Project, users who do not have an Xbox Live account may find themselves being patched without permission as well. If a gamer tries to access any part of a game that uses Xbox Live, the console can 'phone home' and install the patches anyway. While patching bugs can be a nice touch to poor software, I don't know if I feel comfortable with ANYONE installing software on my hardware without asking permission first." </p>

1860 <p>Although the card does spell it out, let me clarify what happens when you activate this card. On your opponent's next turn, you will essentially be playing the game for your opponent. You'll have the opportunity to see everything he can see such as his hand. You can tap his cards, play his spells, choose if and how his creatures will attack. You have taken complete control of your opponent for the turn. The only thing you're not allowed to do is mana burn him. (Or force him to concede, but see the formal rules for this card at the end of the article.) </p>

1993 <p>Sept. 13, 2003 | It was June 2001, and I had just gotten off the "Crossfire" set when one of our producers handed me a stack of mail. On the way to the elevator, I glanced at it. On top of the pile was a registered letter from a law firm. It got my attention immediately. I've never had a pleasant letter from a lawyer. </p>
1994
1995 <p>This one was worse than most. It was written by an attorney in Indiana named Paul M. Blanton who wanted to let me know that his client, a woman named *Elizabeth Jansen, was planning to file criminal sex charges against me in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. "Ms. [Jansen] has informed me that she was raped by you," Blanton wrote. "If you should have any questions or concerns about any of the aforementioned, please do not hesitate to contact me." </p>
1996 rizwank 1.1
1997 <p>Should I have any questions or concerns? I didn't know where to begin. Rape? Kentucky? Criminal charges? I knew I hadn't raped anyone. I didn't think I'd ever even been to Kentucky. The name Elizabeth Jansen sounded mildly familiar, though I couldn't recall why. I had the feeling that my life was about to change for the worse. I felt weak. </p>

2123
2124 <p>Sept. 12, 2003 | The Rev. Joe Aufdermauer always wanted to be a Catholic priest. Even when he was a boy growing up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, he knew. He tried his best to follow all the church's rules, even if it meant setting his parents straight on a few things. </p>
2125
2126 <p>"I always remember we prayed before every meal, but not after meals," he said. "Once as a kid that got me upset, because the nun said you're supposed to pray before and after." </p>
2127
2128 <p>He even wanted to enter the seminary before he began high school, but his father and mother couldn't afford it. </p>
2129
2130 <p>Given his traditional tendencies, it may come as something of a surprise that Aufdermauer is one of three Milwaukee priests who recently sparked a fiery debate in American Catholic thought and theology: Should the church force celibacy on all priests? Aufdermauer and 168 other local pastors who signed his petition say no, and they cite statistics to support their claim: According to the Catholic University of America, for every 100 priests who die or leave the church, only 30 or 40 replace them. Unless the church changes its policy, the Milwaukee priests argue, in a matter of years the Catholic priesthood in America might become an endangered species. </p>

2256 'm feeling minor pangs of regret at coming home... It's stupid, I know. </p>
2257
2258 <p>I felt miserable there. HeatherW did me a massive favor and reminded me of that... Its mostly cause I feel lousy over here and 'rents are constantly *worried* (granted, I clean the house, do as much as I can around here, but if they can't worry, they aren't happy (I think sometimes))... </p>
2259
2260 <p>I've been helping out at Display ... reminds me of working at comedy world... just in that I'm doing things with my hands and it makes me happy... I was about to weld some parts together and I mentioned to my dad that welding is actually a good gig, making decent money; when he commented "you're too clever to do that..." ... I know that, and I wouldn't consider welding as a main career unless I ran into more trouble, but it was really nice to hear him say it.</p>
2261
2262 <p>I come off a bit daft in my blogs, and thats another concern... when I'm seen in my element, I'm the kid genius that half the company calls when they need a problem fixed... its a great ego boost and reinforces hard work... then when I'm not in that kind of enviroment, I'm just this guy who says stupid things at times and whos mind gets too easily distracted... Perhaps that part of the difficulty with school.</p>
2263
2264 <p>Looked it over and I've got about 5 quarters of classes left... Somewhat disheartening, to think that I'm entering the sixth year of school with about 2.5 years done. Granted, I wasn't enrolled for at least a year during that time, but its easy to rationalize that away.. too easy. </p>
2265
2266 <p>We were drilling, sanding, welding, punching, etc at Display and my dad was surprised that, while I took to the designing of the device we were creating easily, I was new to the tools (it isn't that hard, its just I don't just *know* how to use an arc-welder) ... turns out Cal Poly had a lot more *hands on* courses when he was doing his EE there... I can't imagine welding in a UCLA class. I know we have machine shops and all, but I'll be darned if I see it anywhere here : <a href="http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu//curriculumeleccomp.html" title="B.S. in Electrical Engineering Curriculum">B.S. in Electrical Engineering Curriculum</a>. Has more hands on stuff, more labor intensive stuff been moved down to Junior Colleges? </p>
2267
2268 <p>I just want to finish school now, to hell with all the other distractions. That being said, who knows how ill feel in a few weeks, months, after a year? This past quarter went well, first good quarter in quite a while; but it wasn't exactly a heavy load either.</p>
2269 rizwank 1.1
2270 <p>I could just transfer to CalPoly as well... EE from Cal Poly is still respectable, but I'd have to give up UCLA, and I'm not really sure my ego/intellect/confidence is ready for that. I know I *could* handle it, its whether I will..</p>
2271
2272 <p>Back to regrets... It isn't that strong; my mind wanders when I think of Russian girls, and the way that drop-dead gorgeous girls would wave and smile at me... Thats always nice. I learned a bit, visiting historic monuments isn't really my things... I started salivating at reading about the nature preserves and lakes in Kahzakstan and Kyrgistan; its too bad I wasn't able to visit them. I only lost about a week and a half in Central Asia and a few days in Turkey; I did complete 70% of the trip, but its just sad to have left. I did learn that I need to be backpacking though... It got way too lonely there without a constant influx of new people to meet and social challenges to meet. Cameron is in Prague right now, and having a doozy of a time. </p>
2273
2274 <p>All that being said, I SMSed HeatherW as I arrived in Chicago saying hi, and professing to have no regrets. I don't really have regrets, I don't sit and think about being back there; its a wonderful place to visit, but it was quite a culture shock and I'll need a while to adapt. </p>
2275
2276 <p>As usual, wandering mind, I'm not even sure if my thoughts are cohesive. <br />
2277 Oh, #1 thing I missed after the iPod died... The Beatles... (hums "We can work it out")...</p>

2422 <p>I do have to get around to ranting more about the trip; various little differences and all. Also some stuff about missing working with comedians, watching Mike and Ben episodes with Serena made me think.</p>
2423
2424 <p>Also, one of the reasons the site is so slow in loading is that it has to fetch seven URLs for the Blogrolls on the side... Anyone know a reasonable way to simple keep them cached locally and have them update off the site every hour or so? I don't really have much server level control... maybe a PHP that a loading the page calls that updates them if they are more than six hours old... Best way to see the slowness in action is to see that particular section of the page load, its alone <a href="http://www.geekymedia.com/linkage.php" title="here">here</a>. (As you can probably see, I'm a fan of #includes, even in PHP)</p>

I'll probably avoid watching it as part of my general protest against reality shows, or derivates thereof.</p>

2684
2685 <p>NEW YORK -- It was expected that many newspapers wouldn't run this past Sunday's "Doonesbury" mentioning masturbation. But the number turned out to be unusually high.</p>
2686
2687 <p>When contacted by E&P Online, an American Color spokesperson said 84% of its newspaper clients opted to publish a substitute Sept. 7 strip by Garry Trudeau. These 200-plus clients include papers that use American Color prepress services or get their Sunday comics printed by American Color Graphics.</p>
2688
2689 rizwank 1.1 <p>"Doonesbury" runs in about 1,400 daily and Sunday papers, meaning the American Color figures don't represent every Sunday client of the Universal Press Syndicate comic.</p>
2690
2691 <p>The Sept. 7 strip mentioned a real-life study saying regular masturbation might help prevent prostate cancer (Syndicate World, Sept. 4). Ironically, many newspapers discuss sex and other potentially controversial topics outside their comics sections, but many of these same papers feel the funnies should be "family-friendly" because they have a lot of younger readers. </p>
2692
2693 <p><img src="http://images.ucomics.com/comics/db/2003/db030907.gif"></p>
2694
2695 <p><i>From Cagle's <a href="http://cagle.slate.msn.com//news/BLOG/main.asp#anchor243356" title="Blog">Blog</a>:<br><br />
2696 I asked Garry Trudeau, my Slate neighbor, for comments on his controversial strip that is scheduled to run this Sunday. Garry replied, "I think this one's going to blow over pretty quickly, but I have had heard from a few reporters ..." and he gave me this statement:</p>
2697
2698 <p>The strip isn't really about masturbation or the prostate cancer study as such, but about the shifting nature of taboos and the inability of two adults to have a certain kind of serious conversation. It was inspired by a similar conversation I had recently with friends. The more traditional viewpoint (Boopsie's) is represented without mockery, so readers who share her discomfort shouldn't be offended. There's a laugh in there, but not really at her expense.</p>
2699
2700 <p>Still, I understand that the mere mention of certain words will not be acceptable to some family newspapers, which is why we made an alternative strip available. This is certainly a departure from past practice, and it does not signal our intention to start supplying replacement strips (what Pogo's Walt (ex-gf1) used to call his "bunny rabbit strips") every time there's a chance someone might be offended by the regular release. It's a "South Park" world now, and younger readers are unlikely to be shocked or confused by anything they find in Doonesbury. Besides, our general experience is that most children don't understand Doonesbury in any event, and thus sensibly avoid it. It's been a long time since I've received a letter from an irate parent who had to answer an embarrassing question from a child.</p>
2701
2702 <p>As to whether I'm willfully forcing the issue, it's hard to say. I simply write about things that interest me and for the most part, editors have trusted me to handle serious subjects with acceptable discretion. It is a trust I am deeply grateful for, and I try not to violate it. And on those occasions when, in an individual editor's view, I stray across the line, I'm the first to defend his or her right to withhold the strip from their papers. It's not censorship, as so many would have it -- it's editing, and the steward of a newspaper has the responsibility to decide every day what content to publish for his community. I may have a strong quarrel with an editor's justification for cutting a particular strip, but the fact is I have no fundamental right to appear in his paper every day of the year.</p>

2964 <p>Greg Dyke, director general of the BBC, announced last month that the broadcaster would make the contents of its vast archive available to the public so long as any re-use of that content was for non-commercial purposes. (Commercial re-users will have to strike their own deal.) The BBC Creative Archive would enable the British to cultivate this national resource - for which they have already paid - for educational, critical or comedic purposes. The very structure will also make it much more likely that commercial creators will be able to identify content valuable to them, and then license that content from the BBC. The idea is a brilliant response to the extraordinary explosion of creative capacity enabled by digital technologies, in light of the BBC's founding mission - as Lord Reith put it - to inform, educate and entertain.</p>
2965
2966 <p>It also required a bit of creative thinking. For the natural intuition of content owners is control. The very idea of giving up perfect control over how and whether content is re-used is treason among insiders. But as the BBC understands, it does not live in Disney World. And in the course of its internal review an obvious question has become increasingly pressing: if the BBC could make its archive available cheaply, what reason is there for keeping it from the people who have already paid for it? Moreover, such access would increase the BBC’s chances of selling content commercially and make it more likely that the technology to cultivate this content (computers) will be more eagerly bought.</p>
2967
2968 <p>On the other side of the Atlantic there is little evidence of similarly creative thought. Instead, the US government remains captured by the extremists. The very same week that the Creative Archive was born in Britain, it was exercising its power to kill a planned meeting of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (Wipo), the United Nations’ intellectual property agency, to consider “open and collaborative projects to create public goods”. The examples that had led Wipo to call for that meeting included the internet and World Wide Web (whose protocols are in the public domain); a consortium of biomedical researchers and companies exploring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); and the Global Positioning System, which Ronald Reagan had set free for any use, commercial or non-commercial, in the United States in the early 1980s. It also included the phenomenon of free and open source software (F/OSS). It was this last category that excited the opposition of Microsoft.</p>

3098 - - - - - - - - - - - -<br />
3099 By Charles Taylor</p>
3100
3101 <p>Sept. 5, 2003 | 1973: A major American distributor, United Artists, releases Bernardo Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris" with an X rating. <br />
3102 2003: At the Venice Film Festival, Bertolucci announces that his new film, "The Dreamers," will probably have to be cut for its American release to satisfy the contract he signed with the U.S. distributor, Fox Searchlight Pictures, to deliver an R-rated film. <br />
3103 <br />
3104 That juxtaposition is an easy irony but a real one -- a mark of how society has changed in 30 years, of the growing conservatism of the film industry, a sign of how American movie audiences are infantilized when it comes to sex, and one more example of why it's past time to ditch the corrupt ratings system of the Motion Picture Association of America. </p>

3357 IAA to offer amnesty for P2P users</a></p>
3358
3359 <p>It is believed that the RIAA is considering an "amnesty plan" for alleged P2P users. The plan would let P2P pirates off the hook if they change their habits. <br />
3360 <br />
3361 rizwank 1.1 RIAA has refused officially to comment the alleged plan, but according to various news sites, P2P users who have been "caught" by RIAA would be able to get off hook if they destroy all the copied material they own, including copies on harddrives, CDs, etc, agree not to participate in illegal file sharing ever again and to submit a photocopy of their ID to RIAA. <br />
3362 <br />
3363 Users who wish to apply for the amnesty would have to sign a notarized contract where they agree to the rules laid out before and send that contract alongside with the photocopy of their ID to RIAA. If they get caught on violating the contract, they would be sued for committing a willful copyright infringement.</p>

3878 fter two doctors visits; a shot of something into my rear; An IV treatment and many periods of boredom; pain and unhappiness, I'm coming home.</p>
3879
3880 <p>Its not that I'm done here; my short trip to Kyrgistan and Kahzahkstan will be cut short; but I enjoyed my trip and its time to come home... I've been on a special diet after the doctors discovered a severe infection in my intestines; that wasn't much fun; let me tell you.</p>
3881
3882 <p>Theres a lot to describe but a lot of time to describe it when I get home. Just one note...</p>
3883
3884 <p>This morning was to be my first morning after medication and back to normal after a long rest and careful planning of meals etc. Then I vomited early in the morning... pure bile; I suppose; bright yellow. Tons of fun.</p>
3885
3886 rizwank 1.1 <p>Went to the office to do some work and felt fatigued after a short while ... Uncle K first broached the topic; perhaps I should consider returning home..</p>
3887
3888 <p>I felt sicker but went along; I still feel it is the right choice; I'm wasting time and money and not enjoying myself... we spent the majority of the day trying to wrangle hard to find tickets; I'd be sleeping right now (i've been sleeping at 9pm for the last two weeks) but I had to blog this.</p>
3889
3890 <p>I feel better. It may be temporary, and I expect it to be; but I feel a lot better. I have confirmed tix via Moscow on Sunday and we are trying to wrangle earlier ones... Olga predicted that I'd feel a lot better; not because I was inventing the pains (there is plenty of blood samples and .. other evidence that the infection did exist and was quite severe, at least for me) but she told me a story of Polish people evaced into Uzbekistan during WW2; they suffered from typhus; diptheria and a number of things during their five year stay here... but on their return train; which was of a horrible condition; they felt immensely better just knowing that they were going home.</p>
3891
3892 <p>Maybe thats the way it is. I'll be back here and it was a comparatively cheap trip; and when im older, of better constituion mentally and physically and my Russian is better ill be back.</p>
3893
3894 <p>Until then; unless something radically changes; im coming home. </p>
