Carruthers, Mary. The book of memory : a study of memory in medieval culture / Mary J. Carruthers. Cambridge [England] ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 1990
A multi-disciplinary approach to how medieval memory was constituted. Carruthers goes into how modern memory is "documentary" rather than "rote." Really dense and good book that avoids the pitfalls of behaviorism that animal psychologists can fall into. Since I haven't read the above papers, I would assume these folks are enlightened by contemporary critical psychology.

This book goes into the role that manners play in European elitism. Absolutely fascinating. Don't be put off by the Freudian "psychogenesis" stuff, it is a veritable treasure trove and fun to read as well with lots of "Don't wipe your ass then show it to your wife" stuff from the 13th C.
OK. Fill me in. What sort of reg hurdles will Comcast have to clear? Basically they are trying to be like FOX on DirectTV (or the other way around actually). Murdoch has saturated DirectTV with FOX content. I am waiting for the Fox Cooking Channel with Jillian Barberie in pasties making creme brulee. Can Comcast do this over the wires? Are the rules the same?
I am proudly listed on a couple of this "This Fucking Prof Sucks" site. Without variation the comments are about the course content and then extended to me. To be simple, I am a prick when it comes to fumbling, ill-thoughtout NeoConSpeak from 20-year-olds. I allow and encourage debate in my classes (World Regional Geography and Geography of Central Europe) but I do not tolerate things like "If there is no food in Ethiopia, then why don't these stupid people leave!!!!" or "If people in Serbia were real Christians, they would not have these problems!!!!!" The tone goes from one of interested and thoughtful if naive comment from one student to shrill near screaming from the next neocon student. I tried reasoning with people who say ignorant shit like this, but most of it is deeply held, "there's only one way" ideology.
Before someone jumps my politics, I am a American centrist, which by no means makes me a communist or some other horseshit meaningless 50 year old ad hominem attack. I voted for John Edwards in the primary.
For example, I say this: "Isn't interesting that the US has a lower Human Development Index than certain other countries. Why is that?" It is an interesting question. I consider good responses to be some nod to certain economic or spatial considerations about the US, or a questioning of the index's methodology (a very good question actually) or a discussion of structural poverty problems particular to the US (they exist). There are other things. Invariably, I get: "The UN cooks those numbers up to make the US look bad." Oy vey! (Now when does the UN have the time to do this what with all the corruption, plotting world domination and all?;-p) After fielding these responses for a while with discussion and more in-class analysis, even a workshop on US/UN relations, I realized that this is a pattern. The same students (white, middle-class male) were making the same objection with almost verbatim responses to the question. Guess what? I have been targeted by the conservative student union for teaching the heresy of alternative (or in this case, mainstream, but not jibing with Dick Cheney) analyses. These kids are upperclassmen (I mean that 'men') plants. I just ignore them now, or say nice things like "we can talk about this after class." But to them, airing notions like "American foreign policy is the policy of a good and just empire, therefore it can't be bad" (Actually heard this gasser and wrote it down) is nothing different from a stump speech and MUST be said aloud and in class. And, if these were actually well articulated points of view, I would love to hear them, but they are not. It is horseshit regurgitated from blogs and listening to Neil Boortz and Rush Limbaugh. I reward creative thought and hard work with 'As,' hard work with 'Bs.' mediocrity with 'Cs.' I give few Ds and Fs (sometimes: none). The kids who call me 'commie' do poorly not because I single them out for bad grades I have found. It is because they don't do their class work and make low grades on exams. I guess they are following in GWB's footsteps in some respects.
I just don't care if they 'out' me. My classes are full and I am on my way to tenure. Oh yeah, right. They want to do away with tenure. They can REALLY CONTROL the information then.
So scratch my name on noindoctrination.org and teacherreviews.com, this means you really love me.
nothing like flying a blackhawk full of guys through a city, having two guys on the chainguns mowing people down, and the rest paratrooping in to take a base.
Unless you are doing it for real. I think Garry Trudeau calls this "Landing Craft Envy."
In this case, you willingly put it on in order to operate and interact with your community of runners. Basically, to see who is the best among you and to see what your time is for personal reasons.
In the scary case, WalMart puts an RFID tag on my tighty-whities and then I go to Target and over the intercom comes a voice that says, "John Allman, Welcome to Target. We have tighty-whities for sale."
Overfootprinting gives better coverage and redundacy. In a building the same size as the one he describes on our system we will put 8-12 aps. You have to take into account many factors. One of these factors is what the fucking building is made out of. If you are dealing with a stick built/gypsum board building, you get better floor-to-floor/room-to-room coverage. If it is steel and concrete, you have to take that into account. You've got 11 channels. Use them. Otherwise when one AP goes in the shitter, you get calls out the ass.
Whoa. I am fucking impressed. This is paradigmatic.
Let's break it down.
Step one: agree, but shift focus to the opposite party.
Step two: make a specious, but "sounds plausible" argument about how windows isn't as bad as we think and better than in some ways that it is nothing like.
People actually beleive that there are non-existent releases of Microsoft OSes. That in and of it self is funny. Interesting how we liberals can sort these things out, huh?
Seriously, a lot of users think that there was a Windows 97 release or a Windows Express or some other conflation of many different distribution names. If you ever have to ask someone, while doing tech support, what OS they use, you will get wild variations. It can be really fscking hard to keep it straight.
That old fucker, Safire, has been in the middle of a 4-5 year slide into senility on MTP. Here's the pattern: Russert poses question. Safire switches topic to some feeble discussion of presidential honor and George Bush's actually vast intellect. Russert says something to Broder. Broder gets two words in. Safire interrupts with some half-assed pass at whatever female is on the set using 'obsequiuous' in a sentence, thus being the only English speaker on the planet to do so in 6 weeks. Then he writes an article about how the Soviets couldn't weather a pipeline disaster or some shit and that vindicates Ronald Raygun's presidency through some implied leap of logic.
Dem Candidate: "Mr. President, will you admit now that you, as the leader culpable for the decision process, made a mistake in going to war because there were no WMDs, there was no Al Qaeda connection, and there was no imminent threat?"
Bush: "As a Born-Again Christian, I think that Gay Marriage is an abomination before the Lord."
I think USAians forget that the USSR, after initial setbacks, slaughtered Germany. The second front helped, but the tide had turned in 1942. Also, the Yugoslavs kicked, first Italy (after initial setbacks), THEN Germany's asses (after initial setbacks) while enduring little support from the USSR and duplicitous behavior from the US and UK. Dedijer tells a great story of finding US Thompsons on Chetnik fighters (Mihailovic's men) when they attacked a Partizan force using Italian air cover assisted by a British forward observer. Remember in Bush's World everything is black and white....
Or, maybe, Drunken Jockocracy? Wait, he's a good Christian now. The whole notion of an Evangelical Methodist war-monger is so rife with mixed metaphors, I don't know where to start?

What was he in jail for? Does the MPAA know about his release?
Why do countries that have such dissimilar languages (the US and China or Russia for example) all use the same roman numeral numbers?
Because an inscribed number is merely a signifier. Numbers are NOT representations of reality.
CAs are different from monads how? And they accuse critical theorists, etc. of intellectual masturbation....
HEAR this Americans: we speak English too.

So you wear tighty-whities, hmmm?
In this case, you willingly put it on in order to operate and interact with your community of runners. Basically, to see who is the best among you and to see what your time is for personal reasons.

Personally, I am learning to sew.

I think our new Linux Thought Leader meant something more like Christian AND Windows Users, not Christian therefore Windows users.
People actually beleive that there are non-existent releases of Microsoft OSes. That in and of it self is funny. Interesting how we liberals can sort these things out, huh?

Remember Ronald Reagan died for your sins.
