good video. quality information and commentary.

if they want to pass a law how 'bout having to read the books they want to ban? then give a book report on it to the teachers and school board. have them list the offense(s) of the book.

kill the monster in its stride.

addendum: some serious consideration on charter schools

also plenty of reports on devos' devastation in MI if one wants to review how well it hasn't work.

Sure Sure, But I've seen quite a lot on this, and explained in more depth by more educated people in a simpler fashion and using microscopic video.

This guy trys, and the animation is interesting but it's like reading a book with every second page missing. You don't know what you're missing unless you already know it.

Or, in better terms, this is like a book report made about a book he's read lately. I appreciate the study which has gone into it, but it's very paraphrased.... which is sort of his style.

I read this book because I was supposed to do a book report for extra credit in my econ course.

Never did the report, but the book it's heavily intriguing.
[One of the chapters asks "what do hookers and department store santas have in common".]

RSA videos are a wonderful means to learn new things t'boot. = D

Just because he's never seen something like a case before doesn't automatically equal ALIENS! What kind of rational person says "Well, I've never seen anything like that before in my 30 years of work. It must be aliens."

From what I've found online about this case (Sgt Lovette mutilation) in just the last few minutes, this is all based on what some son of a Senator remembers reading from a Blue Book report years before. I haven't found a real story regarding this incident outside of UFO conspiracy websites, which just repeat the same story and cite each other as references. And the "facts" from that report doesn't exactly match what this guy is saying anyway.

A brief list I came across to jog your memory:


Nice, nauseating media bullshit.

Many defenders of this joke say it's what he "might" do. I'd love to see this rule applied to other awards and commendations, rendering them pointless also.

Why do you think a person can solve a those three complicated and nearly intractable problems in a day? What counts is that he is applying efforts to resolve those issues.
I would be shocked if they were all solved by now. They way you rattle them off is like they have the difficulty of hastily done book reports.


Again, you award someone for what thet HAVE DONE, not what you think they MIGHT DO. Obammy hasn't done a goddamn good thing.

He has no intentions of withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, and IIRC, he plans on sending more.

Which was at least, unlike the others, a part of his campaign platform. Merely pointing out the (what I assumed was obvious) contradiction found in awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to somebody escalating a war.

I would be shocked if they were all solved by now. They way you rattle them off is like they have the difficulty of hastily done book reports.

Don't Ask Don't Tell can and should be removed in the fashion of a hastily done book report, and yet look where we are. "The president has a lot on his plate."

Forgo bathing and eat bark and poke salad for a season or two and see how expedient some government is to you there thepinky. HD was and is correct, governments suck ass that suck the most. That same year Fyodor Dostoevsky is sentenced to death and the Stanley brothers are born to later build the first steam car in 1897. Good luck on your book report, sister.

The answer is really "it depends"... because memory is more complex than you probably realise, so your question is very broad... in any case...

The "secret of a good memory" is thus the secret of forming diverse and multiple associations with every fact we care to retain. -- William James

"Memory improvement books can be divided into two kinds: popular and scholarly. Typically, the popular books are written by people with no formal training in memory; they are either professional entertainers who have discovered techniques for memorising a large amount of novel information for a brief period of time, or they are promoters of seminars and training sessions that, among other things, are designed to improve memory. Indeed, on the cover of many of these books are phrases such as "More Money! Higher Grades! More Friends!" Most of the popular books report the same techniques, and almost none offer much by way of explanation of how or why these methods work. The good news is that most of the methods do lead to substantial improvements in memory performance. The bad news, however, is that because many of these authors are removed from the scientific literature, these books often contain many errors, omissions, or statements that are simply meaningless. Furthermore, there is no easy or magical way to develop a perfect memory overnight. [...] The best way to improve your memory is to practice retrieving the desired information." -- Human Memory, by Neath & Suprenant (2nd ed.)

"The keys to developing an exceptional memory are neither mysterious nor difficult to master [...]. First, associate the to-be-remembered material with something you already know, to take advantage of already existing structures and organisations. Second, process the material in a way appropriate for the test. Third, distribute your rehearsals over time." -- Human Memory, Neath & Suprenant (2nd ed.)

Mnemonics...
Avoiding proactive and retroactive interference...
Transfer appropriate processing...
Mood congruent learning...
... etc.

My third grade book report about Dinosaurs read smoother than this.

The argument that "I traveled there, so I know" is no better than "I can see russia from my house".


But people fail to see it that way. Right after he said those things a person next to me said:

"mccain was the professor giving a lecture.
obama was a stammering student trying to give a book report."

I was at a loss of words...

This is like a 3d grade book report

So true. God, I hated writing book reports. No one ever told me book reports were supposed to be a critical analysis [see Linus], so I always just summarized the story. I never understood the point of summarizing the story which you could easily just read for yourself on the back of the book, so I typically never read the book and just elaborated on what was written on the back.

I once created my own book for a book report called "Marijuana and You". True story. I was in high school and I knew plenty about smoking pot. I think I got an A or at least a high B.

WTF - Did he say "vibration technology"?

@-2:40
"When you start to - at its vibration technology - "

HUH? It's a freakin' stick of rubber, man.

@-1:47
"...when it's frequency vibrates..."

WTF is this guy talking about? He's making this sh*t up like a kid doing a book report in front of the class when he hasn't read the book.

Absolutely right - this thing is a piece of junk. It's like a practical joke - I can imagine him saying after "Ha - you totally believed me with that vibrating frequency crap? Man..."
