The Medstudent Experience

Anatoly Lubarsky — Thu, 10 May 2007 20:32:00 GMT

My brother Michael is a doctor. During his time as US medical student he had a blog here - The Medstudent Experience. His last post as a student - A Night at the Grady Red Zone caught my eye a while ago and I decided to give it some juice:

"A few minutes later I heard loud screams from the third neighbor in the room (he was admitted for snorting 4 grams of cocaine) yelling at the nurses to take off the shackles from his hand and that he will kill them once the shackles are off. He also then mentioned that he spent the last 15 years in and out of the penitentiary system and that he is "a hard mothafucka whodoesn't let shit slide easy" - especially if he is dealing with snitches or some who is trying to steal his money or his "dope" - "you just got to deal with it right then and there" he said."

Hockey Fights on Youtube... Addicted

Anatoly Lubarsky — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:56:00 GMT

I'm kinda addicted to NHL hockey fights on youtube. Watching hockey fight over and over again just gives more energy. When you see it during the game or on the television (even during replay) - the fight is usually very brief. However on youtube one can make a search, compile series, rewind, etc.

You can even go deep into history - see for example - Canada vs Russia 1987 World Junior Hockey Fight. Both teams were disqualified from the tournament as a result of the fight.

Many teams have their own "bad guy" - a good fighter one whose roles is to defend his teammates. NHL officials usually wait and watch until one of the fighters goes to the ice and then separate fighters to prevent injury. Most famous recent - The March 5, 2004 brawl between the Flyers and the Senators (2 Flyers players were injured during this game prior to the brawl):

flyers vs. senators brawl part 1 Initial fight - Brashear vs. Ray. And then - Radivojevic vs. Van Allen, and Esche vs. Lalime.
flyers vs. senators brawl part 2 Continuation - Somik vs. Neil, Timander vs. Chara, Handzus vs. Fisher.
flyers vs. senators brawl part 3 Final fights - Redden vs. LeClair, Recchi vs. Smolinski, Sharp vs. Spezza.

Here is George Laraque in seasons 05-06:

Some of "bad guys" have to fight frequently to stay in the lineup because this is the only thing they know well. However there are also good players who fight often.

Mickey Mouse in the Haunted House (Remastered)

Anatoly Lubarsky — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 21:59:00 GMT

Many times youtube users perform a great piece of work before they upload videos. I'm not talking about videos filmed totally by users but about old music and cartoon videos that were taped from TV 20-25 years ago. I noticed many times that videos are professionally digitally remastered. Sometimes people go and buy original CD and substitute the sound track. The original video has also to be edited to fit the sound track 100%. Whatever...

The video below is - "Mickey Mouse in the Haunted House" with music that "goes with the rhythm": Rammstein and Dr. Alban.

Scott Adams on self-cloning

Anatoly Lubarsky — Fri, 02 Dec 2005 17:23:00 GMT

Scott Adams on reasons to want your own clone. (Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert). He talks about different advantages and disadvantages and moral aspects of the issue:

"...The big question with clones is how they get their souls, assuming souls exist. If God gives them brand new souls, then they arent actually clones at all..."

My word -- "use it or loose it". If you have a possibility - go for it and don't think twice.

Remember the guy who killed 10 people in Minnesota this week ? Here is a short flash animation by him -- "Target Practice". Impressive. I liked most of all the sound of the police car when it falls down. The Smoking Gun has more info on this.

How many 5 year-olds...

Anatoly Lubarsky — Fri, 25 Mar 2005 03:31:00 GMT

Sometimes you come across some serious discussion over the internet, you can imagine. More than 1600 posts on the following one. Man, this is more important than wasting your time on Visual Studio's pricing discussion. Definitely.

So here it goes: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once?

"...The kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. You will receive one hour of "counter-tactics" training..."

And the most important:

"...The kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed. Even the very last one will give it his/her best to take you down..."

Enjoy :)
