Luomo's 2000 debut, Vocalcity, was a landmark dance record and a cornerstone in the minimal movement. Produced by Sasu Ripatti (better known as Vladislav Delay), it emitted sensuous tech-house songs as airy and delightful as a cloudburst. After a major-label effort, 2004's The Present Lover, which mostly revisited Vocalcity's achievement, Luomo pushes forward on Paper Tigers via Delay's label, Huume (which is Finnish for "drug") Recordings. Instead of heart-rending but danceable beats, however, Delay makes fleeting, arrhythmic patter that disappears at a moment's notice. Finnish jazz singer Johanna Iivanainen graces most of the tracks, adding structure to music that is often too wispy and melodic. Only the new-age cabaret "The Tease Is Over" allows her to give a full performance, not just vocal lines chopped and ground up in Delay's programming machines. She's the highlight of an album that traces the outlines of Vocalcity's warm tech-house but possesses none of its purpose. Mosi Reeves

We lost our chance at the Pulitzer for investigative reporting when we announced earlier this year, quite wrongly, that LAS PALMERAS had closed. For once, we were glad to be wrong, because this tiny Midtown restaurant continues to serve the best home-style Cuban cooking in the city. We love the garlicky masitas de puerco, the kinky Cuban-style fried chicken, the juicy boliche, the shredded ropa vieja and the fried yucca. Dont expect Ricky Ricardo-style glamour. Las Palmeras couldnt be plainer, but the patio is especially a great spot to meet friends for an inexpensive and savory meal.

Russian literature famously probes the depths of the human soul, and in this series of 36 insightful lectures prepared by a frequently honored teacher legendary among educators in both the United States and Russia - you probe just as deeply into the extraordinary legacy that is Russian Literature itself.
Professor Weil introduces you to masterpieces such as Tolstoy's War and Peace, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, Gogol's Dead Souls, Chekhov's The Seagull, Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, and many other great novels, stories, plays, and poems.
In all, you plunge into more than 40 works by a dozen writers, from Aleksandr Pushkin in the 19th century to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in the 20th century. You also investigate the origin of Russian literature itself, which traces its lineage back to powerful epic poetry and beautiful renderings of the Bible into Slavic during the Middle Ages.
All of these works are treated in translation, but Professor Weil does something very unusual in the literature-in-translation arena. For almost every passage that he quotes in English, he reads an extract in the original Russian, with a fluent accent and an actor's sense of drama.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
©2006 The Teaching Company, LLC (P)2006 The Great Courses
"This is really special!"
Who was Gorky? What made Tolstoy tick? Why was Pushkin a great poet?
If you have any interest at all in great literature, get this course! Prof. Weil not only delivers a compelling study of these and many other authors, but does so in English and Russian (which he speaks so beautifully you might feel compelled to try it yourself). The history and literature of this tragic country has never been told with such understanding and respect ( governments not withstanding). I can not recommend enough! Get this book! But be ready, now its time to listen to War and Peace, Dr Zhivago, The Brother Karamazov, and The Gulag Archipelago, and about fifteen others! Can't wait!
"Excellent Course, But Gaping Hole Without Bulgakov"
Leaving Bulgakov out of a Russian Lit Lineup is pretty much akin to leaving Iron Man out of an Avengers movie.
That aside, I loved this course. The only downside was the lack of coverage of Bulgakov, as a result of his being banned for so long in the Soviet Union (and virtually unknown in the west at the time the professor was working on his PhD). The author didn't so much as mention him.
This covers everyone from Pushkin to Solzhenitsyn, providing incredible historical context, perfectly pronounced Russian phrases and poems, and an in-depth walk through *almost* all the best Russian works.
I lived in Ukraine for 10 years, and this course still opened my eyes to a lot more about the Russian culture I was unaware of. It's brilliant, funny, educational, and insightful. Anyone vaguely interested in the history and/or literature of this part of the world should pick this up now. 36 amazing half-hour lectures for one credit is a steal!
"Totally enjoyable."
I'm headed to Russia in a few months. I have read several Russian novels over the course of my life but wanted to learn more. This teacher was so pleasant to listen to. I learned a lot, and will read more Russian novels. You don't need to be a scholar to enjoy this course.
"I'm Russian and I absolutely like this course"
I'm Russian and I've studied Russian literature in school. And I didn't expect much from this book, as the author is American. But it exceeded my expectations greatly. The course is somewhat different from what they tell you in Russian school, but it's very deep, full of respect to Russian language and Russian people, and it explains the historical and cultural context behind every book. Absolutely great listening.
"Mixed impression: Enthusiastic but inaccurate"
Professor Weil is extremely enthusiastic about the subject and very creative in the delivery of his lectures. He is passionate about Russian literature in the highest degree. If you are looking for an introductory and colorful monologue about Russian writers and books this lecture set is the best beginning. Listening to these lectures was really very entertaining. I liked his singing (yes, he sings occasionally during lectures!) and declamations of poetry in Russian.
I like The Great Courses lectures. Own many of them mostly on the topic of religion, history, and literature
Unfortunately, I have to add some negativity to my comments to explain my three stars. I happened to know very well Russian classical literature and Russian history of XIX and XX century. During the course of these lectures I was for so many times taken aback by all kinds of errors, inaccuracies, and misrepresentations in author biographies, writings, citations, historical facts, and their analysis that I ended up with more negative opinion than I hoped for. Many of Professor Weil's historical excursions and literature analysis are based on stale stereotypes and Soviet time assumptions, myths created either in Soviet Russia by authorities as well as by the opposition or in the West.
Thoreau's 'Walden' and Ayn Rand's 25th anniversary introduction to 'The Fountainhead' summarize my library well.
"Jump in The Troika for A Ride with Dr. Weil!"
When I first read--and was deeply moved by--Brothers K four months ago, I very much wanted to learn Russian and read the book in its native Cyrillic. Ohio native Irwin Weil actually followed through on that exact feeling on his first read of Brothers K, making a 40+ year career out of the effort (a career that spanned the Red Scare of the '50s thorugh current day). What Dr. Weil packs into this course is as about as dense as it gets for an audiobook.
I read five major Russian titles before coming across this course--an excellent prerequisite. Without those under my belt, this course would have felt like a fire hose of book summaries. But note: this course is as much about Russian history as it is about the literature. Where did the Cyrillic alphabet come from? What does 'tsar' actually mean? Who exactly are the Cossacks? What types of cultural dissonance did the Soviet Union create amongst its people? These questions and more are answered in this course, allowing the student to develop a greater appreciation for the written works.
Certainly this review wouldn't be complete without a nod to the passion of Dr. Weil. Northwestern University has an absolute treasure in this man; I couldn't imagine a better person to record this Great Course for the English-speaking audience to appreciate for years to come. The spoken Russian, the signing, the companion PDF--his knowledge on Russian culture is wonderfully unique and seemingly limitless.
This lecture has spoilers for most any book discussed--I intentionally skipped the lectures on Fathers and Sons, Anna K, and Dr Z because of my intent to read those titles in the near future. Once read, I'll come right back to this course to hear Dr. Weil's analysis and insight. Another knockout title by The Learning Company.
"Brings subject to life beautifully"
Great mental images while listening, although I wish he had spelled out a lot of the names. That's basically my only complaint, overall I have learned a lot and been inspired by this lecture series.
"Russian Lit Lovers' Enrichment"
Great lecture series if you love Russian lit and can't take a college course. Rich stories of the writers and there historical times. Excellent.
"A Pleasurable Journey"
I would listen to Classics of Russian Literature again just to hear the professor's wonderful recitations of excerpts in Russian. It was also a very enjoyable stroll through a rich field of literature.
Given the amount of time available, it is understandably less in depth than, but comparable to, histories of Russian literature by Mirsky, Fennell, and Cizevskij. Its approach might be compared to Harold Bloom's Novelists and Novels.
The professor's delivery was a delight. Hearing the sound of particular passages in Russian added an entirely new level of interest, insight and pleasure. I also liked the brief supplements of perspective provided by his personal experiences.
I found I got more out of the book by listening to one or two chapters at a time and taking some time to digest them before moving on to discussion about the next author. The professor did a good job of tailoring each chapter to keep it fulfilling.
I wish he would do a second volume with chapters dedicated to writers like Leskov, Bulgakov, Babel, Bunin, Lermontov, Garshin, Griboyedov, Herzen, Nabokov and Saltykov-Shchedrin.The only reason I didn't give Story a fifth star is I would have increased the ratio of interpretation to plot summary, but all in all I found the experience to be marvelous and I want more!
Learn, understand, then decide whether you accept or reject.
"Should have read some Russian literature first"
While the professor displays a solid grasp over the subject matter, I found my mind wandering off during some of the slower parts. There are interesting parts regarding how writers and literature affected communism and Russian society, and it does show a large diversity in themes and approaches to storytelling.
Very impressed by this overview of Russian literature. Not only the content of these lectures, but I love Irwin Weil's enthusiasm which is immediately apparent and can't help but draw you in. Great stuff!!

The actual recorded transcript as I called the cable company, desperately trying to learn more about bundling my services, saving money and watching the Tour de France guilt-free:
Rep: Good afternoon. This is so-and-so cable company. How can I help you today?
Me: Yes, thank you. I'm calling because I like money and want to save some with these great deals and services I've been reading about. Can you help me with that?
I'm sorry our cold isn't really cold, but the fact is, I'm still cold, and I'm not sorry about that.
This is the lament of a Floridian every winter. How we poor, wretched, warmth-deprived beings have to fear how our commentary on the temperature will be taken the wrong way if mentioned in the wrong company.
Know what I'm talking about? Happened to mention to a visitor from up north how you feel about our weather — even casually. "How am I doing? Well, it's cold enough outside to freeze the freckles right off my body!," I will say.
As my younger brother prepares to turn 40, I thought I would take a moment to hand down some sage advice that I have acquired after two years in the "Enchanted Land of Four Decades:"
My daughter and I will have to come to terms with something pretty soon. For her, she will have to understand that for much of her life I've been mostly letting her win at games, or at least giving her a fair chance. Parents do that, right? Don't want to discourage their children, so they let off the gas. Give them a shot. Feign exasperation as they're completely dismantled by their little one. It happens.
But me, I will have to come to terms with the fact that she's 9 years old now and none of that matters anymore. Those days are gone.
"Do you want to row a chalupa?" I was asked. A strange question. Not one you get every day. And not one easy to take while keeping a straight face.
"A chalupa?" I thought to myself. "The Mexican dish? Like a taco! How do you row a taco?!?"
No, no, no. Not a taco. That would be good, wouldn't it? But this is a chalupa — a 16th-century, 37-foot Spanish longboat.
It took me a moment. Or a few. It always does. We had walked down to the churchyard to knock the soccer ball around. That was the promise from my daughter. The plan.
"Want to kick the soccer ball?" I distinctly remember her asking. She knows I'm a sucker for it. Like an overly excited dog who learns he's going to the beach. "YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Oh no, I just wet myself."
She got a World Cup replica ball for Christmas — a swerving wave of color that screams, "kick the stitches out of me, will ya?"
I planned to.
You've got 'em. I've got 'em. We've all got 'em.
It's like the flu. Spreading. Overcoming. Pummeling us into some sloth-like state where we slump around, dragging ourselves out of bed each morning and answering every question with a mopey, "I don't care!"
"Here's that $1 million you won in the lottery."
"Nope! I don't care!"
It's the January blues.
Got 'em? Feel em? Hard not to when the holidays are over, the weather's turned cold, gray and gloomy, and your credit card melted from overuse.
A high tech runner? Oh no. Now I'm one of those people. I'm not even sure who those people are. But I've always thought I wasn't one of them.
You know, the type who is totally plugged in while exercising. Music playing. Incoming texts beeping. Their GPS always mapping. The latte machine strapped to their back foaming. The ones who couldn't free themselves from technology for five minutes. Had to take it with them wherever they went. Even to exercise.
I've never been big on New Year's resolutions. Never believed in them. Never thought they were worth making. Yet, as 2015 approached, I found myself resolving to make big changes in the New Year. Big ones! So, I thought I would share my list in hopes it might also help loyal readers like you as we embark on this brave New Year.
Here is what the Merriam-Webster Dictionary has to say about the word "ready:" "prepared to do something;" "available for use;" "prepared mentally or physically for some experience or action."
Yep, exactly how I understood it.
So this is what doom feels like. Huh, I've always been curious.
It's a sensation of being lost. And helpless. And seeing your fate — your entire future — washed away in a flood. There is moody, imposing, bass-heavy theme music. You sweat a lot. People stare at you. Pity you. Know you're going to meet your maker.
"Poor sad doomed fool," they say. They say it out loud! SO YOU CAN HEAR!!!

If a story is a painting, and words are the paint, one should always write in colour
A Note On Writing, Passion and Rebirth
Living is a strange thing. It brings up all sorts of strange, wonderful, distressing, complicated, terrible, hilarious, beautiful things.
There is an extraordinary tool called language which can be used to translate these things into what people call stories, poetry, prose. The writer's equivalent to the artist's painting, the composition, the sketch.
Sometimes this makes life more real, more vivid so it can be better enjoyed, savoured. Sometimes it makes life more abstract and distant so it can be better endured and coped with. There is writing that teaches and informs, there is writing which simply plays games, but writing which strikes me the deepest, and remains within me the longest, is that which offers a shared experience.
It is up to the skill of the wordsmith to put the right words in the right order to create within the reader a faithful evocation of what the author had in mind when they started writing. These words – in stories, poetry, prose – therefore come full circle. Drawn from the author's experience they should create a vivid new reality within the reader.
Life is a story. And a story well written should give birth to new life.
Taken all my poem words
And tied them up with your arms
They don't know
If they like it
White Space
Will you listen to her
Before she speaks?
Will you hear what she says
When she says
Will you see her with un-watching eyes
Know her un-dancing feet can dance
Hold a heart
In gentle hands
Until it shuts up its trembling and opens its eyes to you?
Will you hold still until she moves?
And in your un-knowing,
Corrupt nothing
See nothing
But a white sheet, that could take ships across oceans
(if it wanted to)
Will you listen to her
Before she speaks?
I want to
Put on my night gown
And pull it tight about me
I'm not interesting
to Write
But you could
Take a
Forest Fire
im doing this all wrong
my throat aches
like my heart
as I listen to beautiful words
and feel nothing
and speak my truth
and get back halves
and burn, and flame
and get back
cool air
i should be able to do this better
but I don't know
if i can stand on this roof top
in stimmed up silence
You can tell everyone all my secrets
But Please
British Weather
I wouldn't mirror your pain if I could have it
I would watch it roll past like
Sheets of rain in thunder storms
And grip your hand and wait
I'd watch the drops from my window
As they jump on the glass
And wait as the black sky empties out
And gives its love to the flowers
Until we see
Blue sky
And You
Taken all my poem words
And wrapped them up in your arms
They like it
I don't hang out with you no more
Your words were too much
For my little ears
They echo of
Bad eyes
In dark caves
I don't want to speak with you no more
I'm done with working my way
Through broken pieces
You are spilt milk
And frozen smiles
And bad melodies
To me
I don't want to hang out with you no more
I've grown
And squeezing back in by your side
Would only hurt me now
I don't want to speak with you no more
I Drink
I Drink
When I'm out with you
Not to forget
How much I love you,
But how little you Deserve it
Not Un-Kind
i want to bite your fingers off
and push you off a cliff
but thank you for looking after me
i want you to leave forever and never return
i want another home
but thank you for looking after me
i spat at you
and you know you deserved it
but thank you for looking after me
you're blind and dumb and vacant
you tied my hands
but thank you for looking after me
you are a black out at my window
if i had legs i'd run away
and I will.
but thank you for looking after me
I'm Not a F*cking Dog
what can I say?
are more
dirt mouthed
and chicken shop common
than the cheap boys you glower at
in their
torn t-shirts
and spray on jeans
stinking up the lifts
in their piss cologne
more like
the muscle men
who carry their plastic, gutter-squat girls
in under one arm
you are
crueller, craftier, crook eyed and weaker
I can't believe
I wasted my favourite perfume on you.
I Like Meeting Bad People
people like You
make me
feel lucky
I know good People like
Take Care
you taught me how to spell the words
'chauvinist' and 'bigotted'
and that 'closed minded' and 'dead ended' are not hyphenated
you are a pikey who has grown his hair out
your lines and shots are as cheap
as the cologne you would wear
if you switched back a year to hair gel
and FHM and 911 and blue WKD
your arguments are as thin
as the skin on your knuckles you use
to grip strange innocent girl's hands
in violent drowning hate clenches
in convenient beds,
like muddy moss eating into a marble statuette
your truth as twisted up
as your head
with its virgin-whore reductions
and staunchly stubborn denials
and your smile always qualified.
as long as pretty faced
easy and sweet voiced
i dressed and fetched and carried
and spoke and soothed and sat quietly.
like a naked robot
in a movie (your favourite kind of girl)
you sit waiting for
curling green smoke
or somebody else to inspire
or blame
for your
immovable hands
you will have me forever
or as long as you have the time to spare
and draw me up close
but far enough to
evade the inconvenience of
a truth
too loud to drown
with valium and other
flat bottomed pharmaceutical miscellany
The Truth
you know
and hate
buried in those quivering eyes
the little boy blue
the nobody to blame
for anything
but You
You May Not Need Me
You may not think
I am important at all
But if you ask me
I am.
(merry)-go-round/a good pair
'its the lying i cant get over
the lies
what is there to gain from it?
you don't need negativity in your life like that'
i said to you
as your girlfriend betrayed you
and i tried to embrace you
'its the lying i cant get over
the lies
what is there to gain from it?
you don't need negativity in your life like that'
i said to myself
as you like a solitary growling unfed dog
you sunk your teeth into my left side
'it's the lying i cant get over
the lies.'
shadow side
you told me
you had no covers
no fronts.
nothing to hide
but then i found
that cold creature all curled up inside…
you always said
it was yours and your own special pet
you took it each year
to visit a vet
you wouldn't have cared
but i knew better
and glared
at the slant eyed
yellow clawed
creature in there
as i came closer
and tried not to hide
the flop eared creature i had curled up inside
and as it quivering reached out a soft paw to play
so rarely let out to the warmth of the day
it raised up its eyes in warmth and in joy
and batted your eyelid like a feathery toy
(never had it seen such a beautiful boy)
then with a flash
and a crack of a jaw
my flop eared creature was never no more
two moments after
it was hung from a rafter
bloodied, run through by
the creature
you had and curled up inside
had i seen
this beast
you so well un-atoned
that twisted and turned and petted and moaned
a little bit clearer
i would not have come nearer
but you always said
it was only a child
and for what it did to you?
a gutting was mild.
and licking the red from the tips of its claws
the creature realising what it was for
was only doing what it was told to do
by the indivisible part of you
it kissed your cheek
it gave a start
curled up its claws
and settled down in your heart
Greyfriars Bobby
What do you do when your heart is
straining under the weight of
someone else's mistake?
holding on like a dog
to a dead man
tight clenched fist
you can't wake him up
he's not here.
If you keep moving
You get some place
Who knew
Your Inspiration
I take each day with dignity
I always do what's right
And I know how proud you are of me
For following the light
And I will never waste my life
I will work and sing and paint
And I'll take the ignorant's disdain
With the patience of a saint
And it's not because I am one
And I have an angels voice
The only reason why I do
Is cause I have no fucking choice.
Life has a way of
Eating itself
Before dinner
I wish
I was something I suppose
Not sure
Who with?
And the rest?
What if it's never?
What do I do?!
But right now, think I'll have a cup of tea.
Guzman's Pea Poem
No pea
In a pod
Is entirely alone
They have to snuggle up
With their pod-mates at home
There are no arguments
About overhanging trees
There's nothing about
Noise pollution
Council planning
or Bees
But sometimes when a pea is at rest
It is often times a test
To be so close to one another
Finding everything a bother
Like living too near to your mother.
There's something stressful to a pea
About high population density
(It may be nothing to you and me
But it's a big thing for a pea)
No pea
In a pod
Is entirely alone
But a pod makes a satisfactory home
But what makes that pea forget
And momentarily regret
Its tendency to scowl and moan
Its desire to be alone
When all complaints are finally quelled
When its neighbours are minted, mushed or shelled…
(composed in response to a request for a pea poem by Dr Low and performed at Dr Low's Medicine Show at the Hideaway, North London.)
Saying I miss you
Is pointing out where it hurts
A phone call
Is kissing it better
I am ever floating
But you are the rocks tied to my feet
With you
I am
A scruffed cat
De clawed.
A servant too slow
To load his master's gun
Well postured and paid
And prescribing
Needles and vials and
I too weak to refuse
And I too weak.
With you
I am
a scruffed cat
All eyes.
And I am ever floating
And you forever the rocks tied to my feet
I'm Nothing But
You are the tune
That's stuck in my head
You are the music
Played in my bed
You are the silence
That drowns out the noise
Tell me why do we girls
Ever bother
With boys?
all my words
twist into lies
and all of my curves
crack out in straight lines
all my colours
pale into taupe
and I try to remember
but I forget how to cope
because getting this down
is one cluttered cliche
when i try to remember
i forget how to say
just when you've decided
the right words to use
your sharp focus and angle
fades to hopeless obtuse
like reading through water
through a fast flowing stream
or like waking up early
to remember a dream
so just when you've decided
what words you will say
both the dream and the words
have faded away
Difficult Time/Terrible Poetry
and hopefully
i wont move enough for my heart to break
but this red wine
and this red life
is more than i can take
cross my fingers over you
my god…
for all that's gone and all that is
i'd give it all for a single kiss
The Agony Carrot
this is only carrot
but this carrot hurts
he carries on growing
all curly topped
and smiles at you when you pick him
you can't see it
but trust me
this carrot is in pain
First Days of a Short Winter
and as the trees cling
fast to their last leaves
quivering desperation
in their wooden eyed skin
as they will have no one
to hold to
soft dewy and close
in the frosted morning
or to watch as
each night turns
cold grey to colder black
no one to hide
his naked spindles
that snap and twist
like an ugly old back
these branches left
to hang in shame and to stare
at their own broken reflection
all winter long
never knowing the hard frozen lake returns its gaze
and listens to its branches like
a god sent song
The Sun Can go Out
there's no point in anything
if im not pretty to you
ill throw out all my dresses
and all my high-heeled shoes
cos there's no point in anything
if im not pretty to you
I'll stop wearing mascara
I'll stop dying my hair
I'll never put on lip balm
Won't slip on pretty underwear
Because there's no point in anything
If you don't care
And I know I knew that guy
In the past we had a thing
But now I've met you darling
All of that was just a fling
and there could be
that guy
mr pretty off TV
but they don't mean a thing
unless you come to look at me
The sun can just go out
And the moon can disappear
The music can stop playing
All the day can turn to fear
Because none of it means anything
If you don't want me here
So I'll throw out all my dresses
And all my high-heeled shoes
I'll only wear the blacks
And I'll listen to the blues
I'll just stay inside
Because there's nothing else to do
Because everything is missing babe
When I am missing you
I'll only count in ones
If we can't count in two
because there's no point in anything
(that's anything)
if I'm not pretty to you
Crave II
I can stand taller than this
But do you know how I crave your kiss?
How I want you to hold me
Crease over and fold me
Do you know how I crave your kiss?
Because I'm an envelope
You lick, stick and seal
With every corner you turn over and feel
How I need you to rip me open and steal
What's inside
Do you know how I crave your kiss?
Don't leave me stood in silence
Don't weave me into your dead fabrics
Another line on your page
An actress on stage
Do you know how I crave
Your kiss?
Well I can stand taller
But I need you shrunk smaller
To ride inside of me
Unbuckle, take off your reigns
Do you know how I crave
Your kiss?
And if you'd only break the surface
I would help you take a breath
Spend some moments I have saved up
And others you have left
Free your arms
Free your lips
Do you know I crave your kiss?
And I'd let you go
To let you know
What light I found in this
But do you
How I crave
Your kiss?
(from moleskine early October 2011)
'Crave' I here
What is a kiss
But a poem writ on lips
Like clutching sand through fingertips
And drinking breath in gasps and sips
Unsurpassed by moments missed?
Then what are words
That caress a page
And pass down kisses
From age to age
To catch one soul
In centre stage?
Tell me this
What is a kiss
I Want to Touch your Hair
I want to touch your hair
It's just awesome all up there
Would you mind?
Or be so kind?
As to let me touch your hair?
I want to touch your hair
I think it's only fair
As it's so curly
Is it too early
To ask: can I touch your hair?
And I think it's really sweet
When you don't think it's nice and neat
See I don't mind
I think you'll find
I just want to touch your hair
And I know it's an odd thing to do
But near your hair I might find you
So here's how it should be,
I think you should let me
Because I want to touch your hair
[Note: I know this is a bit of an odd one, and I'm not 100% on it. I scribbled a stanza (11/1o/11) amidst a gig at Madame Jojo's, Soho, mishearing the lyrics of 'I want to touch your hand' by Fanzine (amazing) as 'I want to touch your hair.' My friend and I decided that touching hair was sweeter.]
I Like Your Trousers
I like your trousers
On my bedroom floor
And a mug of earl grey
Who could ask for more?
And I forgot
What we were fighting for
When you left your jumper
On my bedroom floor
And I was watching this movie
But now it's such a bore
Because you've left your boxers
On my bedroom floor
And I'll stop writing
If you lock the door
I like your trousers
On my bedroom floor
redraft from 4/9/11
Too Quiet
the air hangs about like ribbons
ensnared in paper sharp tangles
that course lines marked through
I have my nose pressed up against the glass
To peer in
You are an utterly stunning
What pleasure to hold to speak to play
But my god,
I don't understand a word you say
Written 12/11/2010. A love poem of sorts
So much rushing wind
And dirt on air
Rushing into eyes and hair
We march each day
The path they've seen
Too often forget
To stop and dream
If Romeo's playing tragedy
Then Juliet's on the scene
So when your hand shouts out forever
Tell it no and tell it never
Because if you leave your heart behind
You'll drag it through the dark with mine
A Day In the Life of a Poet
(click links for info)
Poet's Morning
Awake at noon
Make love to the stranger next to me.
Drink wine from a skull.
Sadly the brute breaks my heart
I throw him onto the street
(not before I make love to him again)
Consider flinging myself from the window
Unfortunately I live on the ground floor
And after cursing the Gods
I have a cigarette for breakfast
With leftover champagne
I destroy all of my earlier works
In a bonfire
Lit with paraffin
and glazed-eyed delirium
I consider the dead meaninglessness of all things
The void humming black and ever louder
The nest egg of emptiness in my soul
That finds no solace within my hollow heart
Consider the window again
But recall earlier failure
Distracted by vintage copy of 'The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle'
I ponder then the divine eloquence
Of a magnolia in flower
I worship at those silken blooms
With that orange flicker dreaming in the fading light
Playing like love stricken nymphs across
Their naked white blossoms
It had taken some time to put out the fire
There's something running up my garden
It is The Brute
Begging for my love
I throw at him all of the family's priceless heirlooms
Left for me in my Grandmother's will
That shatter like my heart in his hands
During our next animal rutting session.
I cry petulantly and lie in a pool of tears
That flow like blood across my sheets
When I find he's left before I wake to return to his lover
Clutching clawing at my rendered head in my hands I dream
That Mrs Tiggy-Winkle is round, smoking cigars with me…
The Work and and the Whim
So this poem is for Kat. (Unless she doesn't like it in which case I'll write her another one!)
o that i could work on a whim
and wait
and sing
and play on what's within
there's a forest to see through blinding bright
an evening that shimmers before a stark morning light
oh might I move with the moments
and dance
and remember to forget
that fateful moment
that is not a moment yet
o that I could work on a whim
and give up to you what's within
because it's worth its weight in diamonds
but it doesn't weigh a thing
Oh that I could give up dragging my feet on the earth
And only ever swim
Or if the Nothing that matters so much
dealt out death, passion, consequence, diseases and such
I would wake at 6 and leave at 5
And I'd never, no never, feel so alive
And I'd only wet my feet in the oceans of sleep
I'd be the last woman to leave and the last man to cry
I would never chase
with all my breath
the sultry something
beneath a sunset
I would never run
To chase a skyline
Nor ache to hear
(With bleeding ears)
The whisper in a bass line
I would never stop
And fall to my knees
At that something
Which is something
That no-one else sees
I'd let each flicker of fancy blow away in the breeze…
No – I will work on a whim
I will be paid each time my heart beats faster
I'll let the toil take my breath away
And the World be my Master
I will fall away like hours
And minutes and moments, more
Will lay, glittering fragments
Across my soft mottled sheets, my wine stained floor
For what is a whim
Or a working day for?
Are We There Yet?
Am I there
Where I want
to be?
When it's the
whole day's work
To just be
Am I good
enough yet?
Did I get to
the place
Did I get
the right answers
Did I win
the race?
All my empty moments meant
To be constructive and well spent
And all I did this week
Was drink, talk, write and maybe
I didn't touch any Latin or Greek
But did you ever think we had it all wrong?
I've been where I want to be all along?
Dancing Shoes
Get over it chick
He don't love you no more
You're another face
On an anonymous floor
Anonymous legs on anonymous feet
Remember it well
The next time you meet
A boy who makes you feel
You've got wings on your shoes
Head straight for the bullseye
Before it's old news
Pick up on the ways
He puts you in a trance
Throw yourself on the floor
When he makes your head dance
Take it like a man, chick
He don't love you no more
Don't go chasing dead dogs
Or knocking down walls
When there's no-one around
And nothing but rubble
You'll get yourself in-
-to all kinds of trouble
We're on re-runs and repeats
And this stories so old
There's no-one and nothing
It's boring empty and cold
Get over it chick
He don't love you no more
But there's another place
With an invisible door
Remember it well
The next time you meet
That boy who gives you wings on your feet
Head straight for the bullseye
Before it's old news
Dig out and throw on your old dancing shoes
Pick up on the ways
He puts you in a trance
Do what you have to
Just don't miss your next chance
When You Open Your Eyes
I decided to write a poem to dedicate to Rickford and Emma and their baby Julian. Born 5 August 2011. I've not told him about it yet. I don't think it's up to scratch at all…I wanted to write something epic, but I got this:
I have a gift for you
When you open your eyes
I hope you like
Your surprise
It's the sky
It goes on forever
I will tie it up in a
red bow
And put it in a shoe box
Don't forget
It's all for you.
And if I could be the weather
Rain would only fall in fairytales
Clouds would be only sighs
And the sun would never set
Until you closed your eyes
And one day I will teach you how to fly
I have a gift
It's all here waiting
For you
When you open your eyes.
Poetry is Music
"Too much poetry to-day is flat on the page, a black and white thing of words created by intelligences that no longer think it necessary for a poem to be read and understood by anything but eyes."
Dylan Thomas, 1934 poetry review, asserting one of his dearest held beliefs that the best poetry was music to the ears
source: Neurotic Poets
What's the Point? Poetry is Useless
3am. A perfect time to write an analytical passage on poetry…
"Too much poetry to-day is flat on the page, a black and white thing of words created by intelligences that no longer think it necessary for a poem to be read and understood by anything but eyes."
( Dylan Thomas)
If anyone knows me – and a few people do – they will know that the thing that flows through my blood are words. I write poetry as a matter of course. I am pulled to words in a strange physical sense. I will be the first to admit how odd (but not unique) I am.
I write this as I listen to a radio program called 'Poetry Workshop' on Radio 4. I would never listen to it if I hadn't defined myself as a 'poet' and had thought it was something I 'should' be interested in. But it is so dull I have now switched it off. It discusses critical analysis and methodology, writing workshops and criticism. If we are led to believe for a moment that it is these straight lines of analysis and critical response that lend functionality to poetry – and I have no interest in those straight lines – do I deserve to call myself a writer? If, like myself, society in general has only a passing interest in what gives practical, intellectual functionality to this medium, what is the point in poetry?
Analysis and education are rarely, if ever, useless – it is no different within the context of poetry and literature. They help readers to better understand, decode, translate a piece. Symbolism e.g. mythological references, flower symbolism in Victorian writing, or translation of archaic language is required – language and popular symbols have changed over the centuries. Some education of an audience as to the historical setting of a piece might also be useful particularly if the poem is about political opinion or reflects an historical event. Background knowledge might also give an indication as to how the writing was received at the time it was published, and knowledge of the writer might inform what the writer was trying to say – but this is all history, this is not poetry.
Critical or intellectual analysis of poetry is like drawing wires around a cloud. We get the general measure, and a clearer geometric view of the object, a diagrammatic representation of the piece in relation to its physical surroundings. These are all informative, some may say, useful – things to know. However the poem's aesthetics are ruined, and the shape of the original cannot be wholly or accurately portrayed or experienced through scholarly analysis.
Let me pose this opinion – poetry: poetry which deserves to remain within human consciousness – is a timeless, whole, and ever enduring expression of humanity. Writing should be appreciated without the need to go into in depth discussion about historical setting, references from the author, politics and so on. If these need to be delved into in any great way for the piece to be appreciated the poem is no better than a showy 'in-joke' only to be understood by those 'in the know' (a trap poetry all too often falls into). Good poetry must meet higher requirements – a good poem must inform the reader just enough to be appreciated without in depth analysis – even if it communicates simply a hazy opinion, or an emotion, or a story; an enchanting cadence or rhythm, a beautiful sound. Like a melody of a song, poetry must have something to catch the audience's attention. I always return to Shakespeare to exemplify writing at its best – despite the tangle of archaic language the audience has to navigate, we still understand. Like Mozart or Bach – Shakespeare's melodic phraseology endures and stands alone – even in everyday conversation. Shakespeare rides on immutable human truth, thereby transcending the boundaries of history, time, place and society.
The following is in praise of poetry as opposed to in criticism of other creative mediums – good poetry is enduring truth in as few words as possible; good poetry has the ability to express what is is difficult or impossible to express in any other way, good poetry can explain a matter in such depth and detail which is hard to reach using other mediums and impossible to reach with others; good poetry informs, feels, tells stories, creates images and draws pictures and emotions on the reader's minds – good poetry bypasses mechanics and heads straight for the soul.
If I, hopefully a future poet and writer by trade, do not believe in any practical and 'useful' analysis of a piece of writing, then what do I believe the function of what is at the heart of what I, and many others, do, really is? In fact, in my daily life, I see absolutely no function: practical, physical or scientifically measurable for poetry at all. It is simply another way for a soul to sing.
Max's Word – Bridge
word donated by Maxims Smolaks
Major migraine fuelled edit (21/7/11) from originally migraine fuelled poem
life fades
like a watercolour in the rain
something moves in
like a lumber truck
backing into a parking space
Missed episodes
and modernity
Skim over
Same as ever
As your smile starts to ache at the sides
And lingers longing over light across the water
Give me a bridge to anywhere
I will take it.
II not III
'Black with one sugar
I'll always know
How you take your tea
And how your favourite Back to the Future
Is number two
Not three.
Those were
the only true things you said to me.

'If I were a Bubble' – at least it's on time. It feels unfinished – I will come back to it.
If I were a bubble
Fleeting free
I'd drift
Above dull reality
I would fly across the sky
And all the kids would point and see
They'd say
Look at you!'
At forgotten colours
They'd see in me
They'd say
We want to fly
We want to do
What you can do'
And everyone would sit and wait
With bated anticipation
To hear of my travels on my return
Across land and sea and nation
And they'd wish that they could dream as I
Wish they could see the hidden places
You've never heard a bubble sigh
Or bring less than joy to faces
But lemon scented dreams
They'd stop
And down to dismal earth they'd drop
If I the bubble
Could float no more
And ever dared to pop.
A Reason to Stay away from Carling
(Or even a reason to drink more of it. You're call.)
I found Jesus. He was in my Carling
He's such a perfect little darling
He was in the blue dress
The one he always wears
And a look from those eyes took away my day's cares
I found Jesus he was in my Carling
Such a sweet self-righteous darling
He told me I shouldn't
When I knew I should
He said we weren't allowed – I said now we could!
I found Jesus he was in my Carling
But it grates to spend time with such a sweet little darling
I was a bit annoyed
When he decided to amble
Across my G & T in his dirty sandals
And I soon tired
Of that warm lamb-like stare
He kept telling me stories
To write down and share
I couldn't say
'Look sorry Jesus…I don't actually care'
I found Jesus, he was in my Carling
He's so bloody sweet and such a darling
But I'd be lying if I said I hadn't
Felt a little bit better
When he hopped onto the next table
Into somebody's Stella…

Big Sky Country is more than just a nickname: Montana has huge expanses of rugged country. It's a place to discover how beautiful the night sky can be and what "dark" truly is with limited city lights. But in addition to the natural beauty—stunning glaciers and ski slopes, trout-filled streams and high plains—you'll also find a welcoming place full of locals who love to share their state's natural beauty, mining history, and thriving cultural communities with others.

Non-AQ title hopefuls take center stage
Roadblock Saturday provided what the last of the undefeated teams needed -- two more teams out of the national championship picture.
Now the stage has been set for the BCS busters.
Five unbeaten teams remain, but three are outside your traditional conferences. No. 4 TCU (9-0) and No. 8 Utah (8-0) take the spotlight for non-automatic-qualifying teams everywhere, as their huge Mountain West Conference showdown brims with national implications. Only one team will survive with its BCS hopes intact.
Meanwhile, No. 3 Boise State (7-0) hosts Hawaii (7-2) in a huge WAC showdown that will not be a gimme for the Broncos.
How many times can you remember non-AQ teams being involved in games as critical as these to the national championship race on the same weekend? How about never?
But the unique trajectory of this season has allowed us to get to this point, and Saturday was no different.
Although the No. 1 team in the country survived for the first time since Oct. 2, No. 5 Michigan State and No. 6 Missouri were not as fortunate. The Spartans looked listless in a 37-6 loss to No. 18 Iowa. The Hawkeyes cruised to a 30-0 halftime lead, and normally efficient Kirk Cousins had his worst game of the season, throwing three interceptions before getting benched late with the game out of hand. He'd had four total interceptions before the game.
The loss has left the Big Ten a jumbled mess. Without an undefeated team, the Big Ten will need huge help to sneak back into the national title race. But forget about that. Who will emerge as the league champion? Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Iowa each have one conference loss. Ohio State and Iowa will play Nov. 20, and Michigan State and Wisconsin are favorites to win out, meaning a three-way tie atop the league is feasible.
If that happens, overall record, head-to-head results and possibly BCS standings will be needed to figure out who goes to the Rose Bowl.
Meanwhile, Missouri had no idea how to slow down Roy Helu Jr. The Nebraska back took the sizzle from Taylor Martinez, running for a school-record 307 yards in a 31-17 victory. Missouri trailed 24-7 at halftime, and although the Tigers tried to make a game of it, they were no match for Helu and the Huskers.
No. 1 Auburn had no such problems against Ole Miss, winning 51-31 as Cam Newton showed off his athleticism once again with a touchdown catch and two touchdown passes. Oregon, No. 2 in the BCS but No. 1 in the hearts of the voters, survived a tough test from USC 53-32. The Ducks have scored 40-plus points in all their games this season and proved no match for whatever talent USC has left on defense.
Those two teams will be the favorites to win big in Week 10 -- Auburn will host FCS foe Chattanooga, while Oregon will host spiraling Washington.
That should cede the attention to TCU, Utah and Boise State. The Horned Frogs easily beat UNLV to stay undefeated. Utah faced an expected challenge from Air Force on Saturday but survived, setting up the colossal matchup in Salt Lake City. TCU has never won at Utah, and the Utes would love nothing more than to leave the Mountain West on top of the conference.
The game pits so many intriguing matchups -- Andy Dalton against Jordan Wynn in a quarterback battle of experience versus youth. The deep Utah defensive line versus the solid TCU offensive line, featuring future NFL player Marcus Cannon. Punt returners extraordinaire -- Shaky Smithson of Utah versus Jeremy Kerley of TCU. Two top-10 defenses in the country. The list goes on.
Boise State has tough competition in the WAC, although many are loath to admit it. Hawaii has won six straight games and eight straight in conference play, and it brings the nation's top passing attack to Boise to face a secondary that has struggled at times. Meanwhile, after the Broncos beat Louisiana Tech 49-20 on Tuesday night, skeptics unleashed a barrage of criticism because they looked less than crisp.
The pressure is on to win and win big to keep those championship hopes alive. Boise State will not face anybody as good as TCU or Utah the rest of the way, so it must hold on to its top-two spot in the human polls to avoid getting passed. That means playing to near perfection, yet even that might not be enough.
Nobody knows whether TCU, Utah or Boise State will be able to become the first non-AQ team to play for a national title. One-loss teams like Alabama loom closer. But we might have a better idea after BCS-buster Saturday.
Auburn doesn't take the cheese
OXFORD, Miss. -- No. 1 Auburn wasn't about to fall into the No. 1 trap.
That goes for now or at any point this season that the Tigers happen to be sitting atop the BCS standings. They avoided the curse that had befallen the past three No. 1 teams and raced past Ole Miss for a 51-31 victory on Saturday that will almost certainly keep them No. 1 for a second straight week.
Auburn (9-0, 6-0) doesn't need to do anything but win the rest of the way to get a shot at a BCS national championship, especially with so many undefeated teams around the country going down the past two weeks.
Any lobbying for votes or hoping for other teams to go down would be wasted energy. It's all out there in front of them.
"I don't know overall what it says about our team other than our team is focused and ready to move on to the next game," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said after his club's ninth straight win, but its first as the No. 1 team in the BCS standings.
"Other than that, we're not trying to make any statements anywhere and say, 'Hey, this team fell, and we didn't.' We're not into all that. We just have to find a way to get better every week."
When the new BCS standings come out Sunday night, Auburn is likely to find its archrival, Alabama, up there with it in the top five and very much within striking distance. The Crimson Tide, who were idle, were ranked No. 7 this past week, but that's likely to change after both Michigan State (No. 5) and Missouri (No. 6) lost this weekend.
More and more, it's looking as though that Alabama-Auburn showdown on Nov. 26 won't just determine the SEC Western Division champion but also will be a play-in game of sorts to get into the BCS National Championship Game.
Granted, LSU may have something to say about that next week in Baton Rouge, and there still would be the Eastern Division champion to deal with in the SEC championship game.
But the ideal scenario for Alabama would be for Auburn to keep winning and be No. 1 when they meet in Tuscaloosa. A win over the Tigers probably would give the Tide enough juice to shoot up in the polls and grab one of those top two spots in the final BCS standings.
Of course, the good thing for Auburn is that the Tigers don't have to worry about scenarios. Their only focus is what's right in front of them.
They'll face nonconference foe Chattanooga at home next weekend, then host Georgia, have a bye week and play in the Iron Bowl.
"This team is focused on doing what we need to do," Auburn freshman running back Michael Dyer said. "The rest of that stuff is for everybody else to figure out."
London Bridge is rising
First-year Virginia coach Mike London had been hearing it all season -- how the Cavaliers would win only three games this year, how the first FBS win came against an Eastern Michigan team that wasn't very good, how the program had lost nine straight conference games
"On and on and on and on," London said after the game on Saturday, his voice still hoarse from the excitement of the day.
It all came to a screeching halt on Saturday when Virginia intercepted Miami five times en route to a 24-19 win over the No. 22-ranked Hurricanes. It was the first ACC win for London, who was hired from the FCS ranks to resurrect a program that has had three losing seasons in the past four years.
It was one of several upsets in yet another wild, unpredictable week in the ACC. On Thursday night, NC State knocked off the ACC's top-ranked team, No. 16 Florida State, 28-24. On Saturday, Boston College earned its first conference win by surprising Clemson 16-10. Duke, which hadn't won since its season opener against Elon, beat Navy on the road, and North Carolina almost lost to William & Mary on homecoming.
The biggest surprise, though, came in Charlottesville, where Virginia earned its first win over a ranked opponent in two years.
"To see those guys play hard, not give up, even when they scored their last touchdown, all those guys collectively as a team, you're overwhelmed with emotion," said London, who fell to his knees after the game. "Because no one wants to throw an interception. No one wants to miss a tackle. These guys all want to win. Sometimes you put a game together where you do better things than the other team. We were in position to make plays, get five turnovers, things like that. This was a signature win for us because it's a ranked team."
Don't tell London he won because Miami didn't have injured starting quarterback Jacory Harris for much of the game.
"Well, you know what? I'm missing Joe Torchia, Ras-I Dowling didn't play, Tim Smith, our starting receiver is out," he said. "Football is football. You've got to play the game with who you've got and at the end of the day hope your score is better than theirs."
Virginia did more than hope. It played defense. Miami was held scoreless in the opening quarter -- with Harris on the field -- and he was hit while throwing an interception. Harris' absence had nothing to do with Miami's defense getting run over, either. Keith Payne ran for two touchdowns and 81 yards, and the Cavaliers didn't allow a sack.
Virginia started the season with a 2-4 record but has never quit on London.
"That was the way it was before," London said. "That was then; this is now. I will not allow players to attach their self-worth to their record."
Nor will he allow anyone to lessen the value of this win because Harris was hurt.
"This is a big win for the community and for the fans," said junior corner Chase Minnifield, who had two interceptions. "This win helps us recruit, and it is great to get a win on the national stage. We needed the win, and we worked hard for it. One thing no one can say is that we did not work hard this week."
Instead, you can go "on and on and on" about what Virginia finally did do.
Northern exposure
LINCOLN, Neb. -- There were 10 months of anticipation leading up to Nebraska's previous outing on this field. A summer kerfuffle that ended with Nebraska packing its bags for the Big Ten poured gasoline on a fire white-hot from a controversial end to the Big 12 title game.
Helu makes history
Mike Rozier, Tommie Frazier, Eric Crouch and all the other Nebraska greats never had a day like Roy Helu Jr. did on Saturday. The senior running back rushed for a school-record 307 yards and three touchdowns against Missouri. Since 2005, Helu is one of two players from schools in BCS automatic-qualifying conferences to rush for 300 yards and three touchdowns in the same game. He joins California's Jahvid Best, who did it on Dec. 6, 2008, versus Washington.
As good as Helu was, he barely came within 100 yards of the FBS single-game record. TCU's LaDainian Tomlinson racked up 406 yards versus UTEP on Nov. 20, 1999. Helu scored on TD runs of 66, 73, and 55 yards. He's just the third FBS player with three 50-yard TD runs in the same game in the past five seasons. The others are Ryan Mathews of Fresno State (Sept. 18, 2009 versus Boise State) and Louisiana-Lafayette's Tyrell Fenroy (Oct. 4, 2008 versus Louisiana-Monroe).
-- Jason Vida, ESPN Stats & Information
The Huskers wanted to beat Texas and wanted to do so badly. Probably more than Missouri, a rivalry that in some ways stretched the definition of the word because it was one-sided for so much of the past three decades.
Nebraska wrote the final chapter of a rivalry that's more than a century old with a flurry of long runs and a quarterback-flustering defense, beating Missouri 31-17 and taking a firm grasp of the Big 12 North.
For all the sweet satisfaction that would have come with slapping around the Longhorns on the way out the door, a win over Missouri was the parting shot Nebraska needed. For the here and now, the Tigers were the team standing between Nebraska and a substantial 2010 season.
Nebraska running back Roy Helu Jr. broke through the line untouched on the Huskers' first offensive snap. His 66-yard run was only part of a 24-0 first-quarter pounding that was enough offense for the game. Nebraska hung 31 points on the board without taking a snap in Missouri's red zone.
"You're not doing anything magical," Huskers coach Bo Pelini said of his team's start. "It's just by executing -- doing what you've been coached to do."
Injuries to a pair of stars, quarterback Taylor Martinez and cornerback Alfonzo Dennard (both plan to return next week), didn't change the outcome. Martinez's replacement, Zac Lee, needed to throw only three passes and run twice to secure the win in the second half. Dennard's replacement, true freshman Ciante Evans, mostly went unnoticed by everyone but Missouri's offense, which is exactly what happens when good cornerbacks play well.
Gone were the fumbles and dropped passes that ended many Nebraska drives against the Longhorns here two weeks ago.
"We've been working on it, can't you tell?" offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said. "It's good to see their freakin' hard work finally pay off. It means practice pays off."
Said Pelini: "The big part of the football game was no turnovers. You win the takeaway battle in a game like this, and that's big."
Helu finished with a school-record 307 yards rushing -- the best performance by a runner in college football this season -- after two more long touchdown runs and a handful of punishing runs up the middle. Helu had to be notified, along with the rest of the 85,907 in attendance, of his record by the public address announcer. After the game, teammates gave him a water bottle bath, the little brother of the 20-gallon Gatorade bath reserved for championship-winning coaches.

Brad Edwards' BCS projections
Three weekend observations
1. Syracuse has six wins before Halloween. The Orange haven't done that since 2001. Their 31-7 victory at Cincinnati is Syracuse's largest margin in Big East play since 2004. The Orange are 3-0 in road conference games. If your jaw hasn't hit the desk by now, you haven't paid attention to Syracuse in a long time. Pittsburgh must lose twice for the Orange to have a shot at the Big East's automatic BCS bid. Just the fact that we are discussing it makes Doug Marrone all but a lock for the league's coach of the year.
2. Seasons that Tennessee has been in the Southeastern Conference: 78. Seasons that Tennessee has been 0-5 in the SEC before 2010: one (1977). The Vols' 38-24 loss to South Carolina guaranteed one of the SEC's flagship programs its first losing record in league play since the league went to two divisions. Seasons that Tennessee has lost more than five games in the SEC: none.
3. Cal fell to 0-4 on the road with three losses by at least 21 points. The Bears are 4-0 at home. The good news is that the Pac-10 has a bowl game very close to Berkeley, just over the Bay Bridge at AT&T Park. The bad news is that the other side of the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl is the No. 1 pick from the WAC. That means the Bears, if they end up there, may get either No. 3 Boise State or No. 24 Nevada, which beat Cal 52-31 earlier this season.
Highlight: Oregon-USC
'GameDay' crew final thoughts
We talk all the time about programs that need statement wins, and look at what Baylor and Syracuse did. For two programs trying to mature, to go out on the road and beat the defending champions of their respective conferences is huge for them. On the other hand, it's time for established programs like Michigan and Texas to find some maturity and heart. For them to play like they did Saturday and have been playing in recent weeks is unacceptable.
Helmet stickers go to:
• CB Shaun Prater, Iowa
10 tackles, INT in win vs. Michigan State
• DBs Corey Mosley, Chase Minnifield, Virginia
4 tackles, 2 INTs each in win vs. Miami
You had to be impressed by Oregon and Auburn both going out on the road and getting big wins. Those are the types of wins that prove you're a championship contender.
Helmet stickers go to:
• WR Jeff Maehl, Oregon
8 rec., 145 yards, 3 TDs in win at USC
• S Byron Landor, Baylor
15 tackles, 2 pass deflections in win at Texas
Oregon was very impressive on the road, putting up nearly 600 yards of offense and more than 50 points on USC. It's not just the totals but also the way the Ducks did it, rushing for more than 300 yards and getting another standout performance from quarterback Darron Thomas. That's what you have to do as one of the top teams in the nation -- go out and win tough games on the road. The same goes for Auburn, which did it, too. Another impressive win was Virginia beating Miami. If you look at how the remainder of the schedule shakes out, Virginia could be bowl-eligible in Mike London's first year there, which would be a big step in the right direction for that program. The Big East is still the Big Least, and that includes West Virginia, which went on the road and committed four turnovers Friday night to lose to UConn. And how about a shout-out to Art Briles and Baylor, who got a big win at Texas and now control their own destiny in the Big 12 South. If the Bears win out, they'll be playing for the Big 12 championship, and who would've thunk that? Last but not least, Iowa is the best two-loss team in the country.
Helmet stickers go to:
• RB Roy Helu Jr., Nebraska
School-record 307 rushing yards, 3 TDs in win vs. Missouri
• QB Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M
School-record 449 passing yards, 4 TDs in win vs. Texas Tech
Highlights: Auburn-Ole Miss
Blog Network: What we learned
After another crazy week in the ACC, Virginia Tech is now the runaway favorite in the league.
After dismantling Missouri, the Big 12 North now belongs to Nebraska. And you'd better start taking Baylor seriously.
Big 12
Pitt and Syracuse have emerged as the league favorites, while Bill Stewart's seat at West Virginia is getting warmer.
Big East
Iowa's win over Michigan State leaves four one-loss teams in the league, making the Big Ten race much more interesting.
Big Ten
There's no questioning Oregon's status as the premier team in the league, and there's plenty at stake when Arizona and Stanford meet.
Auburn is proving it's not your typical SEC team, while the SEC East race is finally taking shape.
With both teams unbeaten, TCU versus Utah has lived up to its billing as the non-AQ game of the season.
With QB Dayne Crist expected to miss the rest of the season, the team is now in the hands of Tommy Rees, for better or worse.

Odds & ends
• Kendall Hunter rumbled for 143 yards in Oklahoma State's 10-point win at Kansas State. It was the 18th time Hunter has topped the 100-yard mark in his career, moving him past 1988 Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders on the school's all-time list. Hunter is now tied with David Thompson for third on the school's all-time list. Next up is another former NFL great -- Thurman Thomas with 21.
• Marcus Lattimore continued his outstanding freshman season with 184 rushing yards and a touchdown versus Tennessee. Lattimore now has 13 combined rushing and receiving scores this season. That's three short of Harold Green's school record set in 1987. Lattimore tied fellow Gamecock Sidney Rice and Florida's Emmitt Smith for the fifth-most TDs by a freshman in SEC history. Tennessee's Reggie Cobb owns the record with 20 in 1987.

"Unprofessional sales manager Lee Jones"
Let me start by saying that David Gates, the sales representative, was GREAT and quite personable. However, their financing tactics, lying, and unprofessional sales manager LEE JONES, has left me frustrated and unsatisfied. I called numerous times to notify the managers of the under handed tactics the finance rep. used, but only received the run around and no possible solutions were offered. Lee Jones, the new car manager, took my information, stated he would call me back the next day, and I did not hear from him until I called him back a week later. On that call he did not apologize for not getting back to me, nor did he offer a remedy. To make things worse, he told me to call the GM and then hung up in my face. His actions are not professional nor are they acceptable. A few weeks later I had to reach out again in regards to financing. Mr. Jones took the call and said he would call me back the following morning. The following evening I received a text from a random number discussing some finance info. I asked who was texting and what was it in regards to. The response was, your Infinti payment. How unprofessional! To text and not call, but not even to identify who was texting, Lee Jones, is just unacceptable. DO NOT buy a car from Infiniti of Scottsdale. Coulter Infiniti on Mesa is much better, and I should've worked with Rich over there.More

"Courtney rocks it!!!"
I am looking to buy a certified used Infiniti here in Texas, and I almost bought it, but backed away to think about it for a couple of days. I am sooo glad I did! I spoke to Courtney about the extended warranty I wanted to get for the car, and she told me sooo much about the costs and the types of warranties that were available and I found that I was being overcharged for the warranty, I was losing time that I would be covered by the type of warranty that they were selling me. She also informed me that I didn't have to buy the car as a certified vehicle, saving me 900 dollars right from the start, and I havnt even gone back to the dealer yet! Thanks Courtney!!More

"Customer service when using extended warraanty"
Horrible. Bought a car less than a year ago along with the very pricey extended warranty. Warranty states car was not taken care of properly. We had it in for service twice and now 3000 to get the car back. Warranty will not cover and they are not assisting in correcting this issue. Offer to get us in another car. Very dissatisfied and would not recommend theme ever. You sold it, back it up. They didon't even check the car sent it by another dealership who does not have records. Now thousand in a car and warranty, rental car and they now are not returning my cars. Go anywhere but here!!!!More

"Customers do matter"
I recently wrote on here about a poor experience I had with the service department. I was shocked and extremely happy to find out the poor service bothered the dealership as well. I shortly after received a phone call from Kerry Robinson who was extremely apologetic and wanted nothing more then to let me know how bad she felt and what she could do to make things better. I've always been happy with their services (we've even bought a vehicle from them) and now I'm impressed to know the customers happiness really does matters to them. I will definitely be giving them a call back for services.More

This was our first time financing a car and after a long day, stressful day of car shopping, it was nice to end the day with a nice, understanding person. She walked us through every step and even when we had our doubts she gave us more time until we were 100% happy. We cannot thank her enough for her help and understanding.More

"We always keep coming back! Great Service all around!"
This is our 4th Infiniti that we have purchased from Scottsdale Infiniti and always, we have had great experiences. The last 2 we purchased with Illias Katsivallas, who is a great guy, professional and works with integrity and has made our purchases a great experience. And with all of our Infiniti's we have worked with Courtney Mutema in Finance. Courtney is caring, knowledgeable and professional and made the finance process graceful. We have used Bob Larson in Service for all 4 Infiniti's and have enjoyed working with him over the years.More

"Closing the deal - Courtney was great!!!"
This review is for Courtney Mutema, she provided excellent service once the stress of getting "beat up" by the sales staff was over. Even after a long day she was kind, patient, funny, informative, and helpful. She truly tied the experience up into a nice little package with a bow on top. Don't get me wrong the salesman I worked with was solid and pretty helpful when looking at the different pre-owned vehicles, but he made a couple unnecessary negative comments about my trade-in and then didn't even put gas in my new pre-owned G37 before I took possession. That left a bad taste to the deal, as if he didn't really even care once I was handed off to Courtney.More

Deenroll? Unenroll? I understand words like cancel and resign would work, but is there an appropriate antonym with "enroll" in it?

Disenroll, "To cancel enrolment; to remove oneself from a list" may be the word you want.
It is in common use, for example as a bit of legal jargon for leaving an insurance plan:
If you are talking about what to do after you enroll in a class, but want to not be enrolled anymore, then you would
from it.
Enroll can also be used passively/transitively, e.g. you can be enrolled onto a medical register- in which sense the antonym could be "strike off".

Let $F$ be a field, and consider the group $G=F^\times$ with multiplication ($F^\times=F-\{0\}$). How to show that for any $t\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}$, $G$ has at most $t$ elements of order $t$?
Let $a \in F^{\times}$ be an element of order $t$. Then $a^t=1$. But the polynomial $x^t-1$ has at most $t$ roots over $F$.
So here $F$ is a finite field. We know that the group of units in a finite field is cyclic, and thus if $|F|=q=p^n$ then the group of units is a cyclic group of order $q-1$.
Also note that by induction we can show that over any field a polynomial of degree $d$ has at most $d$ roots.
Using both of these, you should try to answer your question.
