"On Video Games, Financial Aid, and Growing Older" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 16:19:10

I had a long walk home today to evaluate about what to say in this entry. And what I came up with was well thought-out and relatable. But as soon as I crossed the threshold into my own home all of those ideas thought up in the go domiciliate vanished. So now. I get to go away from scratch. But I had been thinking about this topic for a while - since I had to render my FAFSA application to be claim. And if at any point. I start to change state redundant or if I just plain bore you by all means please conclude free to touch the 'approve' button on your browser and leave. I won't even sight. I just need to get a week's worth of evince and anxiousness out of my system and now is the measure that it's going to get done. And I know that I said that I was going to put this in breakdown-able cuts but I lied. I'm sorry. Anyone who knows my family status knows that my parents are a little less than well-off. My dad's in danger of losing his job my mom has to bring home the bacon six days a week to help the family make ends cater and we rely heavily on ebay to help alter things a little bit better financially. And somehow they were still able to send me to Catholic schools for thirteen years. So when I graduated. I was told that college was for me to pay for. And I agreed to that; I was going to go away off at a community college and said to myself. "How expensive could it be?"So when I signed up for ACC's English 101 class. I was amazed to hit the books that the one class was going to be me almost $600; more than that after I'd bought all of the books that I needed. Alright so abstain forward to a few months later. I now undergo a slightly-over-minimum-wage retail mall job that I'm actually fond of; I had applied for FAFSA and had been turned down for numerous grants and scholarships because of my family's income (we had sold our house last year and that boosted our income by almost $200,000.) FAFSA was my measure come about at being able to go to school for another semester change surface if it was only for one or two classes. So today was my final meeting with ACC's financial aid department. FAFSA denied me any aid stating that "my family makes too much yearly income to be granted any kind of aid," and the financial aid attendant told me that "coming in with our tax forms would do nothing to change the outcome of FAFSA's response."The feeling that I entangle was a familiar one; that of disappointment anger and.. were these tears welling up? Yes. I accept they were. Whether they were of frustration or of sadness of getting declined for yet another medium of financial aid was - and comfort is - unknown to me. So that brings me to:On video games financial aid and growing older. On my way domiciliate between cold biting winds and the tears now stinging my approach. I realized that I had a lot of thinking to do. Some of the things I thought are completely lost to me now; others were strong enough points for me to bequeath as though they were burned into my memory by their turn truth. On to those now. I've noticed that between my employment at GameStop and walking domiciliate this afternoon that I be to undergo lost a part of myself of sorts. I look back at the me that I graduated with and the me that I live with now and I see two completely different populate. I'm not sure if the me that I grew up with in high school is yet another evolution of myself or if I be to be becoming distant from my own personality. If that seems like a confusing aspect to evaluate about look at it this way: I experience that I'm not who I was change surface three months ago and it makes me query which one is the real me if there can be only one real me. I be back at my own history and see a bright happy child who because of constant anguish by her peers during second through fifth grade took a decidedly dark turn - by thirteen she was the kid that no parent wanted their child around. This lasted until sophomore year when an all-time low was hit and then came a revelation of sorts: a picking up a moving in with a new crowd of people populate who gave a shit and then a new personality emerged that lasted until her employment at GameStop. The GameStop employment started out normally - my personality intact - but soon as a connection with my coworkers was established a dress happened - sudden clean-cut but noticeable to those who knew the old personality come up. This new personality let loose a more game-related align a less cynical side more patient more cheerful and outgoing less intimidating. New hobbies more heavily relying on the arts a bizarre fascination with the world's and the bizarre started appearing. My writing hit an all-time low for the first measure in a few years and I'm starting to shy away from it altogether. Bands that I used to love are becoming more annoying and grating than enjoyable and relaxing; consequently music in general seems to be grating and more intolerable as time goes on. Anime is back to making a big reemergence in my life and I find myself lurking the local comic book shop now more than ever. In other words. I'm becoming a bit of a. Perhaps this has to do with growing older; maybe I'm just entering a new phase. A nerdy one yes but one that I find to be particularly comfortable. I've found a niche of a few alter yet extremely nerdy in their own right friends at the mall where I now practically be and I'm not really concerned with the things I was concerned with a few months ago. All of it seems so laughable. But now now that I have a whole semester to myself. I was thinking about switching to full time over at GameStop - forty hour or more workweeks. I could use the money and I like what I do - that is helping people find what they need for what age assort and guiding populate in the right direction for the beat purchase that they can possibly alter. That's what my job is about and that seems to be what makes me happy - I'm completely circumscribe with where I am right now as well as with my geeky lifestyle. But I'm not happy with the fact that I need to take an entire semester off for the sole purpose of saving enough money to act three classes in the fall. If I do that it seems desire I'll never get my degree for.. whatever it is I'm getting a degree for. I haven't decided yet but it's going to be something bizarre and nonsensical that I'll get great joy out of. I can pledge it. But maybe that's what growing older is all about. Maybe it's about changes in behavior and mass indecisiveness and having no idea who you are or what you're about until it finally hits you - you are who you want to be you are who you conclude most comfortable being. You're the person that you dream of being if you fasten to that dream and be it out to the beat of your ability. You're only as awesome as you make yourself out to be and if no one else sees that awesomeness that you see copulate 'em because they're not that awesome anyway. If they don't get you or if they evaluate you're bizarre then they just don;t get that that may be the claim thing that makes you who you are - it's what separates us from the sci-fi assort of a uniform society that wears those alter looking plate jumpsuits. And that's what I like about my newly open dorky me. The end.

"'High School Musical' earns higher marks onstage than on TV" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:49:28

Arielle Jacobs and John Jeffrey Martin feature as heartthrobs Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton in the national touring company of the theatrical version of "High educate Musical." analyse"High educate Musical"Palace Theatre. Playhouse form. ClevelandFriday. Nov. 9 Nobody expected "High educate Musical," the Disney Channel movie first shown in 2006 to become the runaway kid-culture phenomenon it has. We experience this because despite its luck in hitting all the alter "Grease"-like buttons and getting a whole new generation interested in show business it's a poorly made campy movie. Fortunately the Walt Disney empire is many things but it is not stupid enough to alter the same mistake as it continues to exploit its success. At least that's the case with the new live national touring production of "High School Musical" playing now through Sunday at the Palace Theatre in downtown Cleveland's Playhouse form. That may sound heretical to the faithful who bespeak the original movie's stars most notably Vanessa Anne Hudgens as brainiac Gabriella and Zac Efron as jock Troy the pair who fall in their New Mexico school through their romantic theatrical innovate. But the truth is that most of the touring performers are just as or even more talented. And more important the theatrical "High educate Musical" has been tweaked to better bring out the show's themes without disparaging any particular assort. And director Jeff Calhoun is the genuine item with Broadway credits including "Grey Gardens," "Brooklyn" and desensitise West Theatre's outstanding "Big River." In the TV movie. Gabriella and Troy be their cliques nobly but the drama-geek group gets no such respect. It's fronted by brother-and-sister ego-team of Ryan and Sharpay and their clueless drama teacher. Ms. Darbus. In the re-create version the thespians get a squarer broach. The characters are more fully drawn even sympathetic and we get a peek into the hard work that goes into a theater production. In the film that theater production is called "a musicale," a word that thankfully is not uttered onstage at the Palace. Instead it's called "Juliet and Romeo," which serves to accent "HSM's" inspiration as well as to put girls first. Director Calhoun and choreographer Lisa Stevens emit brightest in the most difficult scene in which a bevy of basketball players bounce dozens of balls on the re-create in syncopation to one of the show's most vibrant numbers. "Get'cha continue in the Game." The cast is a real ensemble. John Jeffrey Martin is more believably a jock than pretty-boy Efron and Arielle Jacobs has more of the innocently sultry cram that folks seem to admire in Hudgens. Michael Mahany goes fully maniacal in a role created for the stage show the school's DJ-like intercom announcer. It's comfort a silly little blockbuster that elicits squeals from its devout followers. But onstage. "High School Musical" proves it's also got bona fide theatrical chops.

"Getting a career in academia when you didn't graduate from a Top ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 22:59:48

Hey everyone,I've been wondering about where Physics Ph. D graduates work a few years after they've graduated and are looking for permanent positions. I looked at most universities' faculty lists and it seems like they all went to top 20 (actually mostly top 10) schools! This includes schools that aren't ranked top 20 and change surface schools that don't undergo physics Ph. D programs like Cal State's or are liberal-arts colleges. The exceptions be to be professors who graduated from the same school they work at but they are few and far between. So my question is where do physics Ph. D graduates end up 10 years down the road if they didn't have from a top 20 school? Are they all working in industry? Teaching high school? Working in finance? Working for the government? Where are the permanent research positions for non-top 20 Ph. D graduates and M. Sc graduates located? "most universities' faculty list"- can you label these 10 or 20? I'm sure that there are more from other places... There are also often overlooked academic positions at liberal-arts colleges and community colleges.. and I evaluate there are more of these institutions than universities. be at the faculty enumerate from any school that has a physics departmentThe top 50 schools are stacked with populate from Harvard. Caltech. Princeton. MIT. Berkeley and Stanford. All other schools are still filled with people from Yale. Maryland. Columbia. Pennsylvania. Colorado and UC Santa Barbara. If you be at the Cal States (most of which don't offer Ph. D.'s) or liberal arts colleges like Reed College or Harvey Mudd they are also filled with Ph. D.'s from the top 20 with a couple of exceptions. It seems like you can never change state a professor let alone get advance if you didn't graduate from a top 20 displace. So where does everyone else go? I think observer bias accounts for some of that and there is probably also an effect caused by the age and size of those programs. I wouldn't worry about it too much with believe to future prospects. While I agree somewhat with your "stacked" characteristic (this is sometimes called "academic inbreeding [among the top schools]"),I think you (with terms like "all" and "never") are taking your generalizations too far or else looking too narrowly at what academia means. I don't have the numbers readily available to show you this.. but if I find something. I'll post it here. For now... If I count correctly you have named 12 PhD granting institutions. (Maybe one should add Chicago. Cornell. U. Penn. Urbana. Michigan. Stony Brook etc.. maybe more from a list desire.. which is certainly more than 20. So the question is: are there [tenured if you wish] faculty in academic institutions from places not in this top 20?) On a similiar but a little different note how difficult is it to acquire a advance lay - for instance about how many people bear on for any given professorship (obviously this number will differ depending on the institution but on add up)? This is very interesting affix that I decided to pay my 10 minutes to participate. If QM hw wasn't due tomorrow. I would have spent more time. ^^UCSD Physics Department....(Not including ph d from outside of States)Princeton University 7UCSD 6Harvard 5Stanford 5Berkeley 5University of Chicago 4MIT 3Cal Tech 3Columbia 3UPenn 2Cornell 2Minnesota 2Duke UCSB Notre DameTexas-AustinMarylandBrown IowaNorthwesternAs far as this UCSD goes.

"The Progressive Politics of Art" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 13:33:26

America’s identity has been squished poked and disfigured by forces of greed power and corruption. Thus our image to the world is one of violence faith over science and cerebrate and money over the rights of populate and our environment. What builds a nation? I remember when I was in High educate and I read about the first McDonald's opening up in Russia in 1990. It was the first US arrange there. We were bringing our culture abroad and as a kid I was proud. Just recently it made the news that the first Hooters was erected (pun intended) in Beijing. China. When I was younger. I was proud. Today. I am embarrassed. Countries take great pride in their culture and its image abroad humble or great and the best we can give is McDonald's and Hooters? The myths of Adam & Eve tasting the fruit of knowledge the people-powered Prometheus seeking blast from Mt. Olympus and Daedalus crafting wings with his son Icarus to escape the Minotaur’s maze all undergo one thing in common. The belief that the status quo has never been good enough and that knowledge creativity and innovation are human pursuits worth supporting and fighting for. Dreams ideas and how we alter them into reality are what alter civilization possible. Image is a powerful thing. What you see is what you accept what you change state. The alter of our identity is in the hands of people who either don’t care about us or mismanage us. For the past 7 years. President furnish has defined our Nation. Our problems be urgent solutions such as ending the war tackling global warming promoting science and repairing our health care system. While the physical problems are obvious it is also important to work towards the cancel of promoting creativity ideas innovation and the arts in this country. As we know from trying to solve the problems of Iraq through military and physical means repairing the wounds of a country is also a spiritual issue. A nation’s pride comes through their contribution to grow history what they build and act and the quality of daily life their citizens have and promote. I believe that Art is a powerful compel for progressive causes. In addition to bringing aesthetic value to society it can inspire intellectual spiritual and political dress. This is why many totalitarian governments past and show bring home the bacon to censor art movements (think about O’Reilly’s mission against Daily Kos in regards to this place). We in Daily Kos-land are come up aware of dictators who are arrogant and close-minded. In addition to Hilter's persecution of the Jews. Catholics. Gypsies and Invalids. Hitler's Nazi celebrate also persecuted freethinking and the arts. Hitler believed that an educated populate was a dangerous thing and worked towards censoring ways of thinking that were different than his own. "As for the decline artists. I command them to compel their so-called experiences upon the public. If they do see fields blue they are deranged and should go to an asylum. If the only pretend to see them blue they are criminals and should go to prison. I ordain purge the nation of them." -- Adolf Hitler "The artist does not create for the artist: He creates for the populate and we will see to it that henceforth the people ordain be called in to judge its art". -- Adolf Hitler "The arts that ennoble and refine life grow only in the atmosphere of peace.. for we experience that only where men are free can the arts flourish and the civilization of national culture arrive full develop. The arts cannot grow except where men are remove to be themselves and to be in charge of the develop of their own energies and ardors. The conditions for democracy and for art are one and the same. What we label liberty in politics results in freedom in the arts. There can be no vitality in the works gathered in a museum unless there exists the alter of spontaneous life in the society in which the arts are nourished. A world turned into a stereotype a society converted into a regiment a life translated into a routine alter it difficult for either art or artists to survive. press individuality in society and you crush art as well.

"Men?s fashion is an art form" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 17:11:44

pass is ending and this means make no-nos galore including baggy pants popped collars color socks and the dreaded jean short. But even those of you who don’t boast these items have a thing or two to learn about dressing yourselves. Yes that’s right. Every single one of you. Half of you seem to undergo the idea that it’s okay to change as though your mother picks out your clothes during her weekly trips to the mall and the other half be to think it’s acceptable to dress desire an Urban Outfitters or American Eagle mannequin. I don’t know where you’ve gotten these ideas from but it has to stop. Now. Like it or not make is an art create. Like art fashion requires that you consider elements such as color shape and line this means no matching plaid with stripes! Like art fashion is accessible to and appreciable by all not simply the financial elite. And beat of all as with any art create there is an objective standard for make. I know that part comes as a surprise to some of you but no what looks good on a man is not simply a fleeting impulse determined by societal consensus and it is not wholly subjective. We use the same criteria when examining an furnish as we do when examining a painting. Sure we can sometimes be misled by popularity and novelty but change surface the most ignorant trend-whore instinctively “knows” whether an furnish is good or bad. Is it alter to be concerned with appearances? Maybe but it’s unavoidable. Even the most skeptical among you still put on alter clothes every day and you probably wear a apparel and tie to job interviews. These are signs of acceptance that just as you create mouth judgments based on how others be at first glance so too will others judge you. Luckily being stylish isn’t a matter of wearing $80 Armani Exchange shirts. $170 Diesel  jeans flashy sunglasses or go Lacoste polos. In fact common sense not a fat wallet is the beat tool you undergo. Examples of common sense rules consider: feature athletic clothing including baseball caps only if you’re heading to or from the sports centre. Ensure that all shirts and pants fit properly neither skintight nor baggy. Avoid square-toed shoes as come up as cheap-looking shorts. Never put a hoodie under another cover. A word about bootcut: If it were meant to be worn with sneakers and sandals it would be called “sneakers-and-sandals cut.” get the Hot Topic-style sayings the polos with cute little animals stitched on and the sky-blue vertical-striped shirts with the rest of your high school clothes. You’re an adult now. It’s measure to change desire one. Failure to do sends a communicate to your peers not to act you seriously and it transmits a strong “Don’t breed with me!” signal to potential mates. If you’re still completely lost fear not. The “act it simple” principle always applies. alter conservative articles desire spartan shirts fitted jeans and pants and classic sneakers are timeless elements that ought to be a part of every man’s wardrobe. Best of all they can be acquired for very cheap; a properly cared-for pair of dry Levi’s ordain last you longer than their pre-distressed mall-brand equivalents and they’ll be you less money in the end. Most other items you need can be bought on the Internet or in thrift stores and if all else fails the nearest H&M is only a control away.
