This is a linear algebra question, but it's about an article about Minkowski spacetime, so I think it's appropriate to post it here. The article is The rich structure of Minkowski space by Domenico Giulini. The detail I'm asking about is at the top of page 16.
The article is describing the 3+1-dimensional version of the "nothing but relativity" argument that's been discussed here in a few threads recently. (The idea is to prove that the group of functions that make a coordinate change from one global inertial coordinate system to another, is either the group of Galilean boosts or the Lorentz group. So at the start, we do not assume that spacetime is Minkowski spacetime. We just assume that spacetime is some structure with underlying set ℝ4).
The article assumes that the group has two subgroups, one corresponding to rotations, and one corresponding to boosts. The rotations are 4×4 matrices
$$R(D)=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0\\ 0 & D\end{pmatrix},$$ where the zeroes are a 3×1 matrix and a 1×3 matrix, and D is a member of SO(3). The boosts can be expressed as a function of velocity, and the relationship between boosts and rotations is assumed to be
$$B(Dv)=R(D)B(v)R(D^{-1}).$$ Now the author claims that by chosing v to be a multiple of e1, and D to be an arbitrary rotation around the 1 axis, we can see that
$$B(v)=\begin{pmatrix}A & 0\\ 0 & \alpha I\end{pmatrix},$$ where A is a 2×2 matrix, I is the 2×2 identity matrix, and ##\alpha## is a real number. This result looks wrong to me. I want to know if I'm missing something. So here's my argument:
First write
$$B(v)=\begin{pmatrix}K & L\\ M & N\end{pmatrix}.$$ We have
$$R(D)=\begin{pmatrix}I & 0\\ 0 & D'\end{pmatrix},$$ where I is the 2×2 identity matrix and D is a member of SO(2). So $$R(D^{-1})=\begin{pmatrix}I & 0\\ 0 & D'^{-1}\end{pmatrix}$$ and
\begin{align}\begin{pmatrix}K & L\\ M & N\end{pmatrix} &=B(v)=B(Dv)=R(D)B(v)R(D^{-1})\\
&=\begin{pmatrix}I & 0\\ 0 & D'\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}K & L\\ M & N\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}I & 0\\ 0 & D'^{-1}\end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix}K & LD'^{-1}\\ D'M & D'ND'^{-1}\end{pmatrix}
\end{align} Now it's easy to see that L=M=0. For example, we have M=D'M for all D' in SO(2), and if we e.g. choose D' to be a rotation by ##\pi/2##, we can easily see that M=0.
However, the same choice of D in the equation for N yields that N is of the form
$$N=\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ -b & a\end{pmatrix},$$ and this is a number times a member of SO(2), but that member doesn't have to be the identity. And I don't think that there's a way to get b=0 by choosing another D', because ##D'ND'^{-1}## will just be (a number times) a product of 3 rotations by angles θ,λ,-θ that add up to λ, and this turns the equation ##N=D'ND'^{-1}## into N=N, which tells us nothing.

I think you're right -- the paper is missing something. This type of derivation usually proceeds by assuming that the spatial axes of both frames (anchored at the common spatiotemporal origin) are adjusted to coincide.
So spatial isotropy is used twice -- in different ways: firstly to get rid of L and M completely,
by insisting that those 2D rotations must be an automorphism of the group.
But then, one says that we can multiply the B(v) matrix by a matrix consisting of 1 and ##N^{-1}##, and silently redefine the product matrix as B(v) .... :-)
This is what one means by "adjusting the transverse axes to coincide in both frames".

Thank you. By the way, if we're allowed to choose D' as a reflection instead of a (proper) rotation, we can easily get the result that N is a number times the identity matrix. But the author doesn't seem to assume any kind of reflection invariance.

what's the idea behind it? take all Lie groups with 4-dim. rep. and "derive" in some way that spacetime symmetry is Lorentz symmetry? this is strange for several reasons:
- it misses Poincare invariance
- it misses lessons from GR where some/all these symmetries become local gauge symmetries
- it misses diffeomorphism invariance
- there is no mathematical reason to single out SO(3,1), so everything is contained in additional assumptions; are there any guiding principles not already using the result SO(3,1)?

I guess you didn't follow the previous thread(s) where Fredrik and I discussed this subject.
Anyway, the focus is on deriving the maximal group (of coordinate transformations) that preserves inertial motion (i.e., unaccelerated observers) from the relativity principle alone,
i.e., without the light principle. It doesn't miss Poincare invariance. GR is not relevant here since we're only talking about inertial motion.

The idea is to see what the principle of relativity says about theories of physics in which space and time are represented by ##\mathbb R^4## equipped with global inertial coordinate systems. (Yes, these are theories that are less sophisticated than GR, but the point isn't to find exciting new theories. It's to explain what the less sophisticated ones have in common, and to show the power of the principle of relativity). No assumptions are made about those coordinate systems other than that the functions (permutations of ##\mathbb R^4##) that change coordinates from one global inertial coordinate system to another have properties that are suggested by the principle of relativity, and the idea that an inertial coordinate system takes the world line of a non-accelerating particle to a straight line. The most important assumption is that these functions form a group. The claim is that a small set of additional "inspired by the principle of relativity" assumptions imply that this group is either the Galilean group or (isomorphic to) the Poincaré group.
One of the assumptions is that these functions take straight lines to straight lines. (This one isn't inspired by the principle of relativity. Instead it should be thought of as part of what we mean by "inertial coordinate system"). This implies that if T is such a function, there's a linear ##\Lambda## and a vector y such that ##T(x)=\Lambda x+y##. (To prove this is by far the hardest part of the argument).
The most important of the other assumptions is that the set of all of these functions form a group. Because of the above, the set of linear functions in that group is a subgroup. What we are talking about is how to find that subgroup.

The task is easier when we take spacetime to be ℝ2 instead of ℝ4. I will show one way to find the subgroup that consists of linear proper orthochronous coordinate transformations. I'm confident about the calculation, but I'd like to discuss the assumptions. I'll explain what I want to discuss later, in another post.
First note that if
$$\Lambda=\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{pmatrix},$$ then
$$\Lambda^{-1}=\frac{1}{ad-bc}\begin{pmatrix}d & -b\\ -c & a\end{pmatrix}.$$ The velocity associated with ##\Lambda## can be determined by examining what ##\Lambda^{-1}## does to a point on the time axis. I'm using the convention that the time coordinate is the upper one. Since
$$\Lambda^{-1}\begin{pmatrix}1\\ 0\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}(\Lambda^{-1})_{00}\\ (\Lambda^{-1})_{10}\end{pmatrix},$$ the velocity of ##\Lambda## is
Similarly, the velocity of ##\Lambda^{-1}## is c/a.
Let G be a non-trivial subgroup of GL(ℝ2) such that the following statements are true.
Let ##\Lambda\in G## be arbitrary. Assumption 3 says that
$$\frac{c}{a}=v(\Lambda^{-1})=-v(\Lambda)=\frac{c}{d}.$$ So if c≠0, then d=a. However, if c=0, then ##v(\Lambda)=0##, and now assumption 4 says that ##\Lambda=I##, which implies that d=a=0. So we always have d=a.
Define ##\gamma=a##, ##v=-c/a## (with apologies for giving the symbol v a second meaning) and ##\alpha=b/a##. Note that assumption 3 implies that ##v=v(\Lambda)## (where the v on the left is the new one, and the v on the right is the old one). We have
$$\Lambda=a\begin{pmatrix}1 & b/a\\ c/a & d/a\end{pmatrix}=\gamma\begin{pmatrix}1 & \alpha\\ -v & 1\end{pmatrix}.$$ For all ##\Lambda',\Lambda''\in G##,
$$G\ni \Lambda'\Lambda'' =\gamma'\gamma''\begin{pmatrix}1 & \alpha'\\ -v' & 1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}1 & \alpha''\\ -v'' & 1\end{pmatrix} =\gamma'\gamma''\begin{pmatrix}1-\alpha'v'' & \alpha''+\alpha'\\ -v'-v'' & -v'\alpha''+1\end{pmatrix}.$$ This implies that ##1-\alpha'v''=-v'\alpha''+1##. Note that since this holds for all ##\Lambda''## including one with ##v''\neq 0##, it implies that if ##v'=0##, then ##\alpha'=0##. We will use this in a minute.
Let ##\Lambda',\Lambda''## be arbitrary members of ##G## such that ##v'\neq 0## and ##v''\neq 0##. Now the result ##1-\alpha'v''=-v'\alpha''+1## implies that
$$\frac{\alpha''}{v''}=\frac{\alpha'}{v'}.$$ This means that ##\alpha'/v'## has the same value for all ##\Lambda'\in G##. Denote this value by -K. We have ##\alpha'=-Kv'## for all ##\Lambda'\in G##. So
$$\Lambda=\gamma\begin{pmatrix}1 & -Kv\\ -v & 1\end{pmatrix},\quad\Lambda^{-1}=\frac{1}{\gamma(1-Kv^2)}\begin{pmatrix}1 & Kv\\ v & 1\end{pmatrix}.$$ Assumption 5 tells us that
$$\gamma=\frac{1}{\gamma(1-Kv^2)}.$$ Note that if K>0, this implies that ##1-Kv^2>0##. If we define ##c=1/\sqrt{K}##, this is equivalent to ##v\in(-c,c)##.
Assumption 1 implies that ##\gamma>0##, so we have
$$\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-Kv^2}}.$$ When K=0, ##\Lambda## is a proper and orthochronous Galilean boost. When ##K=1##, ##\Lambda## is a proper and orthochronous Lorentz boost.
A few things that I didn't show here: We must have K≥0, because K<0 contradicts that G is a group or that all its members are orthochronous. For all K≥0, let ##G_K## be a set whose members are all the "Lambdas" of the form found above, with all the velocities that are consistent with the value of K. Then ##G_K## is a group that satisfies the assumptions. For all K>0, ##G_K## is isomorphic to ##G_1##, i.e. the restricted Lorentz group.

Here's what I want to discuss:
A. It's not clear to me what assumptions about space we're using here. Just reflection invariance? Are we also using translation invariance? Consider two identical point particles with different constant velocities in otherwise empty (1-dimensional) space. Is it obvious that if the velocity of A in a coordinate system comoving with B is v, then the velocity of B in a coordinate system comoving with A is -v if the systems have the same orientation and v if they have opposite orientations?
B. If we consider the group that includes reflections of space or time instead of its restricted subgroup, we will get results like d=±a instead of d=a, and these extra minus signs will make the calculation awkward. So maybe the easiest way to find the group is to start by defining the time-reversal operator T and the parity operator P, and prove that any member is equal to a product of T's and P's and a member of the restricted subgroup. Then we find the restricted subgroup as above.
C. I'm undecided. I would say that the argument doesn't help us understand Galilean spacetime, and that it doesn't help us understand Minkowski spacetime. It only helps us understand how the two can be viewed as different versions of the same thing. I think that's interesting, but the argument would be much cooler if a person who doesn't know SR could have come up with it, and I doubt it.
Edit: When I referenced "assumption 4" in three different places under C above, I really meant "assumption 5". I'm sorry about that.

That's indeed used as an assumption in most published treatments I've seen, but it's unnecessary. If one merely assumes that there is some parameter ##v^-## that corresponds to the inverse transformation, then it possible to deduce (in this case) that ##v^- = - v##. One need simply multiply the forward and inverse transformations, insist that the result is the identity, and then equate coefficients of like powers of the coordinates in the resulting equation to get several constraints, one of which turns out to be ##v^- = - v##.
But (potentially) more useful is to see how the group theoretic approach can reveal unexpected invariant constant(s) in more general cases.

1. This one is just saying that I have decided to find the restricted (=proper and orthochronous) subgroup first.
2. Every ##\Lambda## has a finite velocity.
3. If the velocity of ##\Lambda## is v, then the velocity of ##\Lambda^{-1}## is -v.
4. The only ##\Lambda## with velocity 0 is the identity.
5. Every ##\Lambda## has the same 00 (top left) component as its inverse.

##\begin{pmatrix}K & L\\ M & N\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}K & LD'^{-1}\\ D'M & D'ND'^{-1}\end{pmatrix}##
must hold for arbitrary ##D'## in SO(2). You've just chosen particular values, which does not tell us anything. The way to proceed from here is to note that ##L=LD'^{-1}## is satisfied for arbitrary ##D'## in SO(2) only for ##L=0##, since in particular the equivalence after rotation by π requires ##L=-L##. Likewise for ##M##.
On the other hand, ##N = D'ND'^{-1}## does require that ##N## is a multiple of the unit matrix, as the article says. This follows from Schur's lemma, since ##N## commutes with every group representative of SO(2) in an irreducible representation. So the author's statement is correct.
When you said that a rotation by π/2 requires:
##N=\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ -b & a\end{pmatrix}##
which is not a multiple of the unit matrix, that is strictly true—but you are not taking into account all the other restrictions imposed by the other possible choices of rotation angle.

I did realize that these equalities hold for arbitrary D' in SO(2). That implies that they hold for the specific choices of D' that make the calculations easy. So let's write
$$L=\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{pmatrix}$$ and choose D' to be a a rotation by ##\pi/2##. We have
$$\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}0 & -1\\ 1 & 0\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}b & -a\\ d & -c\end{pmatrix},$$
and now we immediately see that a=b, b=-a, c=d, and d=-c. These results imply that a=b=c=d=0, and therefore that L=0.
$$N=\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ -b & a\end{pmatrix}=s\begin{pmatrix}\frac a s & \frac b s\\ \frac{-b}{s} & \frac a s\end{pmatrix}.$$ In particular, this holds when ##s=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}##. With this choice of s, the right-hand side above is s times a matrix whose rows are orthonormal. This matrix is in SO(2), so it's a rotation by some angle λ. So we can write ##N=sR(\lambda)##, where ##R(\lambda)## denotes a rotation by λ. D' is a rotation by an arbitrary angle ##\theta##. We are free to choose that angle as we see fit, but no matter what we choose, we will always have
$$N=D'ND'^{-1}=R(\theta)sR(\lambda)R(-\theta)=sR(\theta+\lambda-\theta)=sR(\lambda)=N.$$ My interpretation of this was that no choice of θ can give me additional information about the components of N.
Maybe that's just the wrong conclusion. I looked at the Wikipedia article on Schur's lemma (link) and if I understand it correctly, it does imply that this N is a multiple of the identity.
Edit: I've been playing around with Wolfram Alpha a bit. It's pretty cool that I can check my (partial) result for N simply by typing
$$\begin{pmatrix}a & b\\ -b & a\end{pmatrix}$$ every time, and this tells me nothing.
I also see that Wikipedia requires the vector space to be complex. These things have brought me back to thinking that Giulini got that detail wrong in his article. Maybe Schur's lemma simply doesn't apply here?
Jan9-13, 09:06 PM
Yes, it looks like you're right. I'm not exactly sure how Schur's lemma requires the complex field as it seems pretty generally stated. But clearly something is wrong. Either way, I think it's a fair wager that this is exactly the mistake the author made.

OK, thank you LastOneStanding.
Back to the discussion about the assumptions that go into the "nothing but relativity" argument... I have realized that one thing that I've been taking for granted is questionable. Does the set of orthochronous transformations really form a subgroup? How do we even define "orthochronous" here? How about this? ##T:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^n## is said to be orthochronous if ##(T(x))_0>(T(y))_0## for all ##x,y\in\mathbb R^n## such that ##x_0>y_0##. I don't see how this implies that the set of orthochronous maps is closed under composition.
This is a bit tricky even when we know that the group is the Lorentz group. I did that proof here. Unfortunately it's an old thread with several LaTeX errors (which were unnoticeable before the upgrade to MathJax).
Maybe there's no easier way to prove that there's a proper subgroup and an orthochronous subgroup, than to first determine the full group and then use that result to prove that the group has these subgroups. If that's the case, the list of assumptions will have to be changed.
Edit: The calculation that attempts to find the full group right away is a lot uglier. But I just realized that we can appeal to the principle of relativity and make the existence of an orthochronous subgroup one of our assumptions. If Alice agrees with Bob about the temporal order of any two events, and Bob agrees with Charlie about the temporal order of any two events, then Alice should agree with Charlie about the temporal order of any two events.

OK, here's another attempt. (Just a sketch. I'm leaving out some details). We're looking for a non-trivial group G that's a subgroup of GL(ℝ2).
Assumption: There's a ##v:G\to\mathbb R## such that ##v(\Lambda)=-\frac{\Lambda_{10}}{\Lambda_{11}}## for all ##\Lambda\in G##.
This one implies that both ##\Lambda_{11}## and ##\Lambda_{00}## are non-zero. (The latter because ##\Lambda_{00}=(\det\Lambda)(\Lambda^{-1})_{11}##).
Assumptions: ##(\Lambda^{-1})_{00}=\Lambda_{00}## and ##(\Lambda^{-1})_{11}=\Lambda_{11}##.
Let ##\Lambda\in G## be arbitrary, and denote its components by a,b,c,d, as in post #8. The assumptions imply that ##\det\Lambda=\pm 1## and that ##d=(\det\Lambda)a##. It's now trivial to prove that ##G_p##, defined by ##G_p=\{\Lambda\in G|\det\Lambda>0\}##, is a subgroup of G.
Assumption: The set ##G_o## defined by ##G_o=\{\Lambda\in G|\Lambda\text{ is orthochronous}\}## is a subgroup of ##G##.
The intersection of two subgroups is a subgroup, so the set H defined by ##H=G_o\cap G_p## is a subgroup. Let ##\Lambda## be an arbitrary member of H, and denote its components by a,b,c,d as above. We have d=a, and it's easy to show that a>0. (Use that ##\Lambda## is orthochronous).
$$\Lambda=a\begin{pmatrix}1 & b/a\\ c/a & 1\end{pmatrix}.$$ We define ##\gamma=a## and ##\alpha=b/a##. Since
$$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{c}{d}=-v(\Lambda),$$ it's convenient to also define v=-c/a. Now we have
$$\Lambda=\gamma\begin{pmatrix}1 & \alpha\\ -v & 1\end{pmatrix}.$$ From here, everything is the same as in post #8. We use that H is closed under matrix multiplication to prove that ##\alpha/v## has the same value for all ##\Lambda\in H## with v≠0. If we denote that value by -K, we have ##\alpha=-Kv##. Then we use the assumption about the 00 component to determine ##\gamma##.
This time, I can prove ##v(\Lambda^{-1})=-v(\Lambda)## as a theorem, but only because I added another assumption, the one about the 11 component. Apparently this has also enabled me to drop the assumption that the only member of H with zero velocity is the identity.

The Magic, especially Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu, are attacking the hoop more often than in recent years.

That's a significant jump. Through last season's first five games, the Magic tried 19.6 shots per game at the rim. Over the entire 2010-11 regular season, the Magic averaged 21.6 attempts at the hoop, which ranked them 26th in the NBA.
"We're trying to be a little more aggressive," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "We've always had Dwight [Howard] going to the rim. J.J. [Redick] puts the ball on the floor. I think the two guys, though, that have really tried to put the ball on the floor more and attack are Turk and J-Rich."
To be sure, the Magic still love the 3-point shot. They tried 25.2 treys per game in their first five matchups.
Still, Richardson has made a conscious effort to mix up his game. The biggest criticism of him after his trade to Orlando last season was that he was too content to launch 3-pointers and too reluctant to attack the basket.
Richardson has changed — at least so far. He has tried 3.8 shots per game at the rim, according to HoopData. After his trade to Orlando last December, he tried just 2.4 shots per game at the hoop.
Van Gundy has faulted himself for not involving Richardson more in the offense in 2010-11. So far this season, Van Gundy has made a point of calling Richardson's number, especially early in games; in the opening minutes of first quarters, Van Gundy has put Richardson in post-up situations.
Richardson flubbed a dunk midway through the first quarter. The front of the rim essentially blocked the shot.
Turkoglu also has played differently, trying 4.2 shots at the hoop after only trying 1.5 last season.
Again, it's early to draw definitive conclusions.
But the initial returns are positive for the Magic.
Different 'D'The Raptors had one of the worst defenses in the NBA last season, allowing opponents to make 48.2 percent of their shots.
New coach Dwane Casey is starting to change that.
Toronto had limited opponents to 41.6 percent shooting in its first three games.
"We have to come in now and change the culture and get a defensive mindset," Casey said.
Layups• Jameer Nelson returned to the Magic starting lineup after he missed Friday night's game in Charlotte because of neck spasms.
• Dwight Howard had gathered 24 rebounds in each of his previous two games. The last NBA player to record at least 24 rebounds in three consecutive games was Dennis Rodman, who did it Nov. 9-12, 1993, as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. Rodman averaged 26.0 rebounds per game in those three contests.
• Howard last had three consecutive games of at least 20 rebounds Dec. 18-21, 2010.
• Former Magic point guard Jason Williams attended Sunday's game. He sat with two of his kids near one of the baselines.
• Sunday was the third time the Magic have played on New Year's Day and was the first time they've played at home on the holiday. Orlando went 1-1 in the previous games.

HOT TRAILER: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Red Band Version)
Twitter is buzzing with this red band trailer for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. SlashFilm posted it to their website, and my oh my, it is a thrilling ride. Trailer has not been released in the US, this is the international version. The song in the background is Trent Reznor and Karen O's cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song." I love it. Daniel Craig being miserable, scared and sad, while Rooney Mara is a badass chick. Apparently, a green band version for the US will be released this week (how bland- but still could be worth watching). Totally midboggling, hair raising and exciting trailer! David Fincher, you did it again. I will definitely go and see this movie.

*Please note latest check-in time is 10pm*
(after you check-in you will have 24 hour access)
'Fun and funky..... Be sure to book ahead.'
'With so much imagination, effort and expense invested into this hostel, it's little wonder that crowds flock to fill this hostels beds year after year. Book ahead.'
'Original player Derry City Independent Hostel is where you should go first. Be warned, you may get caught in the Derry Vortex and never want to leave.'
Conjured up back in 1997 by two travellers with empty pockets, loads of enthusiasm and a dream. We still grab every opportunity to throw our backpacks over our shoulders and hit the road, enjoying soaking up the world's hospitality before returning to Derry to pass all the good vibes onto you. We run our hostel with an emphasis on friendliness, helpfulness and making you feel at home, which are all things we value as backpackers overselves. Solo travellers come on down, you'll find it really easy to meet other people and (hip-hooray) no worries about huge tour groups exploding onto the scene and taking over the place. Our Hostelworld customers seem to think we're doing something right as they rate us as one of the best hostels in Ireland.
With an average HostelBookers rating of 92%, you, our Hostelworld customers, have voted us as your top rated hostel in Derry. Have a look at some of the reasons why...
Our hostel situated in Great James Street in the best possible location in the city center. We are located 2 minutes from the Bogside and 1 minute from all the best pubs and restaurants in Derry City Centre. There is free on-street parking directly across the road.
Our staff are totally committed to ensuring you have the best time possible in Derry. They are all backpackers who have fallen in love with this great little city and will do their utmost to see that you love it too. Everything from taking you out to the pub to doing your laundry...
Our team have justifiably earned the reputation as being some of the friendliest staff in any hostel around. You can be sure that you will receive the best welcome possible. We'll provide you with a free map and show you all the hotspots, ie murals, pubs, city walls etc. (everything is literally around the corner from us.)
FREE BREAKFAST... good breakfast, cereals (coco pops too!!), bread, jam, marmalade, chocolate spread, plus free tea & coffee all day.
In every dorm your own personal safe that is big enough for your laptop and other personable valuables.
Spacious, clean bathrooms with HOT WATER all the time (from proper showers where you don't have to keep one hand on the button while trying to get the shampoo out of your hair with the other!)
Many nights during summer we offer 'all you can eat' barbeques (burgers, sausages, chicken wings, veggie burgers, bread, sauces, etc). Cost is just 4 pounds and of course the craic is mighty. These are a great way to get people mingling and therefore usually lead onto a pub crawl. Fun. Fun. Fun.
Most nights a member of staff will round up those who are interested and take them out on a rollicking Irish pub crawl. We usually head for the pubs offering the best cheap drinks promotions, then head onto the live music pubs or clubs. This is a great way to get out and meet the locals. Derry people are renowned for being very friendly and this is a great way to meet them or hang out with other backpackers.
Every day organized political walking tours of the Bogside, run by the acclaimed Free Derry Tours, leave from close to our hostel. These are tours conducted by local people from the Bogside, giving you a unique first-hand insight into the sad events of Bloody Sunday, the Battle of the Bogside, the many political murals and life in Derry during the troubles.
Over the past ten years we've travelled to many exotic places: India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, Morocco, Syria, Egypt, to name but a few, and from these travels we have brought back lots of bits and pieces to decorate our hostels. We've transformed our dining room into a virtual Aladdin's Cave with low tables and low seats, lots of beautiful hangings, and many amazing artifacts scattered around the room. You will be transported to another time and another place.
Which is, after all, where you want to be.
Come and stay with us and you will fall in love with Derry.
Who says so? Well for a start you do. You have consistently voted us as the top hostel in Northern Ireland, but other people also agree. You will find our hostels highly acclaimed in every major guide book: Lonely Planet, Lets Go, Rough Guide, Routarde etc.
See you soon!
PLEASE NOTE: LATEST CHECK-IN TIME IS 10pm. This hostel is not suitable for stag/hen parties. Please do not book these groups into the hostel as these bookings will not be honored.
Any group of more than 5 people must contact the hostel directly. Group bookings will not be honored unless you do this.

That is so hot! they should have been verbal, and slapped him in the face.
Definitely a hot and sexy body, nice cock, lovely sweet sexy butt and hole.
Groping Hands gets hold of some beautiful guys, but I just don't get the obsession with getting them to look like they're having a horrible time. This guy appears to be on the edge of tears. Whether he's acting that or not I don't know, but it's a complete turn-off for me. Are gay men really so bitter and twisted that they get a kick out of seeing a "straight guy" (and lots of them obviously aren't straight) suffering a sexual assault? If that's the case, then it's a sad reflection of our society.
Bit young and smooth for my liking but very nice uncut cock and pubes !

Hot Topic Tuesday: Do You Throw a Healthy Party?
Written on January 31, 2012 at 12:27 pm , by Karla Walsh
With the Super Bowl just days away, many will be hosting gatherings for friends and family to cheer on the athletes (and let's not forget, enjoy the commercials and halftime show)! Just like around holidays, some consider this as an occasion to indulge—the Super Bowl happens only once a year, right?
According to a recent National Restaurant Association survey, 42 percent of Americans say that nutritious options are a mandatory part of their game day spread. While it's certainly better than none, this means about six in 10 get-togethers may not have healthy choices for fans. For some, a Super Bowl party just doesn't feel right if a pizza delivery man isn't invited! We enjoy throwing parties that include options to please all palates and dietary needs (click here for some of our favorite nutritious, crowd-pleasing snacks), but understand that some don't consider bruschetta and sushi to be traditional football-viewing fare.

Now tell us: Do you consider parties to be a time for all-out indulgence or do you stray from tradition and offer nutritious food options for you and your guests? What will you be snacking on during the big game?

Unique Home Made Absinthe SpoonsPosted on July 30th, 2013 by absinthejack
Absinthe GoodiesPosted on October 9th, 2012 by absinthejack
Here are a few absinthe flavored goodies. They are kind of campy, but fun. From the top – mints, gumballs, cigarette rolling papers, lip balm and dental floss.
Replica Uranium Absinthe Reservoir GlassesPosted on May 21st, 2012 by absinthejack
This is a neat set of 2 replica glasses that our sister site Alandia produced a few years back. For those of you who don't know, back in the good old days they made some absinthe glasses with uranium oxide in them. They would glow in the dark. I don't know how healthy they would be to drink from, but they sure looked cool
Plastic Absinthe SpoonPosted on May 10th, 2012 by absinthejack
When Viridian lauched Lucid absinthe in the US in 2007 they wanted an absinthe spoon to go with it. They came up with a plastic one, but luckily came to their senses and it was evetually made from metal. This is the very rare, never released, plastic Lucid absinthe spoon.
Antique Lighter Advertising Premier Fils AbsinthePosted on June 24th, 2011 by absinthejack
I've been collecting antique absinthe memorabilia for a while now and have some glasses, spoons and other stuff, but have never seen one of these before. It's an antique lighter that has an engraved advertisement for Premier Fils absinthe on one side. When I got it, it needed a thorough cleaning and was missing a few items. It lacked a flint, flint spring and wick. I canabalized and old Zippo lighter for the spring, which had to be cut down in size, and good friend Jeannie Van Buren was kind enough to supply a new Zippo wick and flint. In the second picture you can see that it is now in functional condition. If anyone out there has another absinthe advertising lighter please let me know.
Absinthe Zippo LightersPosted on June 5th, 2011 by absinthejack
In 2001 Playboy magazine sold an exclusive set of limited edition Zippo absinthe lighters. I managed to aquire a set a few years back and here they are. The picture is somewhat blurry, but you can still see how cool they are. A Czech absinthe company is now selling copies of the one on the right, but these are originals.
"Blood and Chocolate" Screen Used Absinthe Glass and SpoonsPosted on January 6th, 2011 by absinthejack
The 2007 release "Blood and Chocolate" was a mediocre werewolf movie. The thing that makes it interesting is that the clan of werewolves were asbsinthe fans. Not only that but they owned their own absinthe distillery. There are a few cool absinthe scenes including a look at the inside of their warehouse where you can see their huge stills. A couple of years ago I purchased a screen used Pontarlier glass and spoons from PremierProps. The spoons have some kind of metallic gold and blue finish applied to them by the art department. I assume this is to make them show up better on film or to make them look more unique. Oh, and by the way, our sister site, Alandia, supplied all of the absinthe goodies for the film.
World's Smallest Absinthe SetPosted on November 5th, 2010 by absinthejack
While perusing the interent I came across this really cool absinthe set. There's a site, Kaleidoskopic Romance, that makes 1/12 scale hand made miniatures for doll houses. Having recently developed a taste for absinthe they decided to express their interest in miniature. The detail on these are incredible and if you look very close you can see that the bottle is none other that Alandia's own Moulin Vert. It's hard to believe the bottle is only about 1 inch tall. I decided I had to have a set and, to show the scale, I'd take a picture of them in front of a full size Moulin Vert bottle. You can see how really small they are in the pic. They have lots of neat miniatures including Ouija boards, crystal balls, and apothecary bottles and boxes. You can see all of their unique items at www.kaleidoskopicromance.etsy.com .
Buy an Absinthe Fountain – But which is the right one?Posted on April 14th, 2010 by Absinthe.FM
This is a serious question, as there are a lot of Absinthe Fountains out there. As the selection is manifold, Absinthe.FM now offers a fountain that is the right choice for everyone. It is the Absinthe Fountain Antique Mini. It has two spigots and is therefore easy to store and use. And as we think every Absintheur should have the right to prepare his Absinthe the traditional way, we now offer it for the reduced Absintheur price! Check out our Absinthe Ritual Video Section to see how the Absinthe Fountain Ritual works. Cheers!

Patrick Watson - Into Giants
I think it's fair to say that most of Patrick Watson's music has a melancholic feeling to it. But on his latest single Into Giants, Watson sounds more upbeat and optimistic than I have heard on any of his previous releases.
April 17th is the date when the new album Adventures in Your Own Backyard is scheduled to be released. The album art is pictured above and fits the idea of turning 'into giants.' Maybe this will be a new direction in the music of Watson?
Damien Jurado - Museum of Flight
Damien Jurado is a Seattle songwriter who is due to release his 10th album later this month. Admittedly, I hadn't heard of him until I came across Museum of Flight. His voice reminds me of Active Child crossed with Scott Matthews and Eddie Vedder.
The song really speaks for itself. I think his voice is the real standout - disarming, sincere and full of sentiment.

Uniforms are quickly becoming a best practice in leading healthcare organizations nationwide. Patient safety and patient satisfaction are driving changes in this area.
At St. David's HealthCare, we have launched a uniform initiative that is focused on making it easier to identify our caregivers. Over the past few months, with help from our Employee Advisory Groups and Shared Governance Councils, we have taken special care to select new uniforms that will help identify our team of caregivers and hospital staff simply by looking at what we wear. We believe this change further supports our tremendous work over the past several years in improving care and service to our patients. It also reinforces our Service Excellence program.
In the scrub/uniform selection process, we focused on brands that were available in a wide variety of styles and sizes, in order to accomodate a variety of body shapes. We also focused on brands with consistent dye lots - to ensure that we had a consistent appearance in all of our facilities.
Nursing - Navy scrub top and pant (Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses)
Clinical Support Staff - Sandstone scrub top, Black scrub pant (Patient Care Technicians, Monitor Technicians, Unit Clerks/Secretaries, Phlebotomists, Lab Assistants, Imaging Assistants, and Pharmacy Technicians)
Non-RN Clinical Professionals - Sage green scrub top, Black scrub pant (Respiratory Therapists, Imaging Technologists, Medical Technologists, MLT's, and [optional:] Pharmacists)
Rehabilitation Services / Cardiac Rehab - Navy polo or button-down shirt and khaki pant, short, or skort; Inpatient and Wound Care staff may wear Sandstone scrub pants; Therapists may wear lab coats.

UFC announced that Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva would be the two coaches for the first season of The Ultimate Fighter series from Brazil.
White, Joe Silva and others were in Brazil today to both make the announcement and look at fighters for the house. The show will air on Globo, a major network in Brazil and be structured like TUF had been in the U.S. with a taped reality show, a live final followed by a match between the two coaches.
Belfort beat Silva in 1998 in less than one minute at UFC's first show in Brazil.

Re: GOATpova returns to stay undefeated in Doha. SF v #1 Serena
Omg, it was only a dream
I dreamed last night that Maria and Serena were playing the FO final. Serena was wearing a navy dress with light blue details and Maria was black dress with red details (but that isn't important is it
Anyway, Serena started off really strong and won the 1st 8 points and was leading 2-0. She served 3 aces in her opening service games and hit 3 return winners in Maria's opening service game
But after that, Serena started playing less aggressive and Maria started playing good. It got dramatic toward the end, but Maria won 6-2 6-4
I literally could not believe it, but now it all makes sense since I know it was a dream

Overwhelm comes when you have a huge list of things todo and don't do them. The last two days and continuing through till Monday, I'm trying to take care of all of the client work, updates, and other stuff I've had on my todo list since early this month which I've neglected due to my intense learning / doing schedule with network marketing. Here are a few of the things I've done:
- Updated a bunch of data and broken link son There is a Theme for That due to theme companies changing their pricing schedules and one that cut their affiliate program
- Helped a friend out on her blog and started to help set her up with a new one
- Connected with my contractors about my next WordPress site that is underway, and set things in the works to hire some more people
- Decided to set up another website for adsense for car auctions in California just like the Michigan one I already have and hired a friend to write some posts on it
- Set a meeting with a contractor to unload some of the work that I haven't been doing but should have been for sites outside of networking for tomorrow
- Made progress on two client sites that I'd like to have wrapped up in the next two weeks or so which will provide some nice money for my network marketing exploits
I still have quite the list of things to do including writing a few dozen emails to queue up in my autoresponder for 3 sites.
Yesterday, I also got through MLSP's webinar on solo ads which I think was the first webinar that didn't try to sell me something – which was refreshing. The content was pretty good and I'm looking forward to getting started with solo ads very soon. I may buy Daegan's course too, but I haven't decided yet.
I'm going to revisit Link Liberation 3 since 1) it's done and 2) I don't think I'm utilizing it to it's fullest extent yet and I really want to nail SEO with my blogs I have. Lot's to do… and I have to stay balanced and remember all of life can't be networking : )

Indian Muslims : Babar Or Ram?
June 16, 2012
Indian Muslims are today at a crossroad. The destruction of the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan has shown to the world in general – and to the Muslims of India in particular– that Islam still considers Buddhist and Hindu statues, temples and worshipers as Infidels, to be razed and eliminated.
This govt is taking the country down with it
May 17, 2012
Today we are living in a country run by selfish politicians. The govt is racked by scandal after scandal. This country is facing innumerable problems, which does not seem to be ending. The govt is taking down this country with it. So it's time to wake up !
Francois Gautier's open letter to John Dayal
April 20, 2012
Tirupati is one of the most sacred places for Hindus. Why should nuns and missionaries go there to convert innocent Hindus? It's an affront to the majority community of this country who have always respected the Christian faith. Remember that the first Christian community of the world is the Syrian Christian in Kerala?
Why a Frenchman built a Bhavani & Shivaji museum
February 16, 2012
This museum is also a place of knowledge. People can learn something about the history of their country while viewing the nearly 20 exhibitions FACT has made, and come out from this place being a little more knowledgeable about the history of this great civilization that is India.
Why is Sonia Gandhi so scared of Narendra Modi?
May 8, 2011
Sonia has been on a personal vendetta against Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi for a long time. She had a useful tool in Teesta Setalvad, who, it is now discovered, has bribed witnesses, filed false affidavits, and committed repeated perjuries in court
Not the time for self-flagellation

Hindus must seek pride in their religious identity and fight back those who are bent upon denigrating India's civilisational history. The world owes a lot to Hinduism's humanising influence
State of the Indian Union
August 12, 2010
The crisis in the Valley has been fomented by anti-nationals. Sovereignty is key, and the Government must take care to eschew uncalled-for concessions or subsidies.

Media and Government are trying to malign Hindu gurus by different means.And on other side westernisation kill many souls in Asian countries.
The Kafkaesque streak in Indian politics
May 8, 2009
The term 'Kafkaesque' could be very well applied to today's politics in India, for things have gone to such a pitch of absurd, unfair, blatant and outrageous illogical state that it baffles the mind.

BJP must come out with a 'Nation First' agenda
March 26, 2009
Sending a clear message to divisive forces, the BJP must come out with a 'nation first' agenda of governance and fulfil the promises it has made to the masses.
Deviants of Mangalore, Malegaon are demonised fallaciously
February 3, 2009
Politically, the Congress just took over from the British, as I explain in my new book (A New History of India, 2008, Har Anand), and used its English-speaking press to present Hindu social and political parties as fanatical and ridiculous.
Nostradamus On India, Sonia Gandhi & BJP
January 8, 2009
Recently, unpublished manuscripts of Nostradamus have been discovered (and authentified) in France. Curiously, there are two full pages, which deal at length with India, particularly with the BJP and the just concluded elections.
Sonia's presence in Delhi is costing India dearly
December 4, 2008
For the good of India, her civilisation, her immense spirituality and culture, Sonia Gandhi has to go and a government that thinks Indian, breathes nationalism and will protect its citizens must be voted to power.
Not India's first woman saint
October 20, 2008
The headline of the story "India gets its first woman saint", run by many newspapers, both Indian and Western, is very misleading. For India has never been short of saints.

Signs and Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Injury
The rotator cuff largely comprises the shoulder joint; this joint consists of four muscles that meet as tendons that hold the ball joint of the arm in the socket of the shoulder. The bursa, a fluid-filled sac, allows the entire joint to move smoothly. Your rotator cuff gives your shoulder incredible range of motion and is the most flexible joint in your body. Damaging this joint can lead to serious problems, so it is important to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of a rotator cuff injury and promptly seek care from an orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine specialist.
1. Shoulder Pain
Pain is the clearest indicator of a rotator cuff injury. You may notice pain as you try to move your arm or when you put pressure on your shoulder, especially if you sleep on your side. If the pain cannot be treated with over-the-counter pain killers or lasts for longer than a week, you should make an appointment to see a doctor or sports medicine specialist.
2. Weakness
Another indicator of a rotator cuff injury is weakness. You will usually notice weakness in addition to shoulder pain. If lifting even small objects or simply combing your hair becomes a difficult activity, you may be dealing with a rotator cuff injury.
3. Limited Range of Motion
Like weakness, limited range of motion is often accompanied by shoulder pain. If you cannot extend your arm normally or are no longer able to reach in all directions, this is another sign of a rotator cuff injury.
4. Crackling Sensation
Known as crepitus, a crackling or popping sensation or sound when you move your arm means that your tissues are rubbing together abnormally. This is a good indicator of a serious injury, and you should contact an orthopedic specialist about your rotator cuff.
If you are experiencing these symptoms and believe your rotator cuff is injured, contact the orthopedic professionals at TOCA. We provide Phoenix and Scottsdale residents with orthopedic care and physical therapy. Call us today at (602) 639-4027.

Japanese musician Mitsuhiro Mori takes hand flute playing to perfection…
John Marek performs his song 'Back of my Head' by playing the guitar and drums at the same time.
A video of an 18-year-old armless guitar player George Dennehy performing The Goos' 'Iris' went viral couple weeks ago. The Goo Goo Dolls invited George to play the same song with them at Musikfest's main Steel Stage in south Bethlehem, PA, Tuesday night. It was the highlight of the entire show: H/T: Michael Dennehy
George Dennehy, an 18-year-old armless guitar player, performed Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls at the annual Ashland Strawberry Faire in Virginia. With his feet and soul. A must hear/watch video:
British comedian and musician Ben Champion performs a song about that damn auto-correct software which destroys thousands of relationships around the world on daily basis…
Except the now famous Tucker the schnoodle, this dog (a beagle?) is probably the most talented canine singer/piano player out there. Tucker started his internet rise to viral-video stardom right here on Daily Picks and Flicks, and I predict a bright future for this little fella too.
This video is called 'A dingo ate my pianist'. And, wouldn't you know it, it was recorded in a bar in Alice Springs, Australia. Not only does he play the piano, he is singing too!
There's some kind of a military ceremony taking place and the band's tuba player is obviously very tired and sleepy. But it looks like he had a drink or eight too many before the ceremony…

Jean-Yves Bonno is a French musician, able to perfectly imitate a myriad of instruments. This amazing performance was recorded in 1987.

Nerfed gear level? Great, I can't overgear it and make it dull.
Limited mana pool? Wonderful, I have to heal smart.
No time to drink? Fantastic, I have to manage my mana cooldowns intelligently.
To answer your final question, and to prevent this from sounding like I'm saying your opinion is wrong (it isn't), LOTS of things can go wrong. And that's the point; without a point of failure, challenge modes will not be interesting to me.
To answer the original question, pet battles. I've played pokemon for 10 years, I think I'm all done with that.

Formed in Tampa -- the home of death metal -- in 1984, Morbid Angel (due Friday, November 22, at the Bluebird Theater) may not have put out the subgenre's founding document (an honor generally bestowed on Possessed's 1985 masterpiece, Seven Churches), but it can rightfully be considered one of its p ...

Rankings Directory
Friday: Midwest State Rankings
Texas Top 125
It was a tough battle at the top of the rankings list as DE Mario Edwards Jr. (Denton Ryan), RB Johnathan Gray (Aledo), RB Trey Williams (DeKaney) and DT Malcom Brown (Brenham) all made convincing arguments during their senior season and in post-season all-star contests as to why they should be that guy.
Oklahoma Top 30
Things were not much easier in the Sooner State. The top player wire-to-wire was a pretty familiar name: RB Barry Sanders (Heritage Hall). This version of Barry will be taking his game to Stanford and not Oklahoma State. RB Alex Ross (Jenks), WR Sterling Shepard (Heritage Hall) and WR Keon Hatcher (Owasso) are all very good in their own right. Ross missed much of his senior season with injury, but looked great with limited touches and both Shepard and Hatcher had explosive years.
Missouri Top 20
No arguments at the top as everyone has WR Dorial Green-Beckham (Hillcrest) as the can't miss. The battle for second is where all the action was. DT Ondre Pipkins (Park Hill South) edged out WR Brandon Shepherd (Parkway Central) WR Durron Neal (DeSmet) and C Evan Boehm (Lee's Summit West). This was the deepest year for talent in the Show Me State in some time and we could be hearing quite a few of these names called on draft day 3-5 years from now.
Kansas Top 10
Things pretty much stayed status quo in the Sunflower State. QB Tyler Matthews (McPherson) had a great career which culminated in a U.S. Army All-American Bowl victory. He has already enrolled at TCU, which will now compete in the Big 12. Matthews has a quick release and a good arm.
Nebraska Top 5
This state underwent the most changes, and there is a new number one. QB Tay Bender (Lincoln Southwest) overtakes the top spot in the latest rankings. Bender was the first player to make a commitment to play for Kansas State in the 2012 class and his talents should fit in well in that style of offense. TE/DE Sam Cotton (Lincoln Southeast) is the lone player in the state to snare an offer from the Cornhuskers.

I got rid of all our baby stuff, then Sadie came! I still have the potty because my stubborn almost 3 year old refuses to use it! I'm jealous.
