CST Coach Vik Hothi Shares his Fight Prep (VIDEO!) - (USA)
While I was at the last CST seminar in Bellingham, Washington, I took the opportunity to get a couple of private sessions in with Coach Sonnon (I recommend that everyone should get a session in with one of the faculty staff; it makes such a huge difference) and we worked out a Sport-Specific Metcon Circuit specifically for my upcoming Escrima Stickfighting MMA fight. I only had 4 weeks to prepare and get myself in condition, which is a difficult task because of my fighting style: be as explos

Byatt's Children's Book - (USA)
The Children's Book / A.S. Byatt Toronto: Knopf, c2009. 617 p. I've taken a long time to try to review this book because there is just so much in it that I had to digest first. It's a huge, sprawling saga taking us through the Edwardian Age up into the First World War and its end. I have a particular fondness for the Edwardians and so was very intrigued by the first intimations of the theme of this novel.

Kathryn Bigelow goes to war - (USA)
Kathryn Bigelow, film director Action! By MANOHLA DARGIS Published: June 18, 2009 LOS ANGELES THE take on Kathryn Bigelow is that she is a great female director of muscular action movies, the kind with big guns, scenes, themes and camera movements as well as an occasional fist in the face, a knee to the groin. Sometimes, more simply, she’s called a great female director. But here’s a radical thought: She is, simply, a great filmmaker. Because while it is marginally interesting tha

Beware the Christians! - (USA)
As we watch the horrors in Iran, it makes us wonder if anything like that could happen in America. In Iran, the mullahs control everything and feel justified in any injustice they commit because of a belief in the rightness of their own actions. Is there anyone like that here?In an answer to that question, Frank Schaeffer wrote a column for the Huffington

2,454 boring, unillustrated words about my PhD - (USA)
The great thing about having a blog that nobody reads is that I can write pretty much for myself. And as I need to start splurging and archiving and generally find out what I think for my PhD, I may as well attempt to do it publicly here. To start, then, with why I'm doing it in the first place – a question I don't ever stop asking myself, but rarely try to answer. 1: Architecture is more about the book than the building So why do a PhD at all? Firstly, I'm academically minded and as such, wa

Observations from Turkey Hollow on the LGBT Civil Rights Movement: Part Two: Learning from History - (USA)
History can be a double-edged sword. Many of us get so mired in our own personal experiences from the past that we color our ability to see the future. Others ignore them so much they fail to make their path easier by the lack of knowledge from the past. However, there is much to learn from the history of human nature and behavior, the formation of values and principles and the ability to create change. There are clearly defined common threads throughout the history of great struggles for libera

Devadasi: Initiation Into Prostitution? - (USA)
Image via Wikipedia Dedicating a girl child to God is not a custom approved by the scriptures. Infact it was not even practised before 6th century AD. There is no mention of devadasis in any of the books, taken for the study of history of this custom. Kautilya’s ‘Arthasastra’, believed to be written in the 3rd century BC, mentions prostitutes but it does not mention devadasis.The practice of dedicating a girl to God must have started only from the 6th century AD, says Anil Chawla, in his boo

There is something called the Triad Sleep Pattern that occurs for many: you sleep for about 2-3 hours, wake up, go back to sleep for another couple of hours, wake again, and go back to sleep again. For others, the sleep requirements have changed. You can get by on less sleep. Lately I have been experiencing huge waves of energy running i
