A few years ago I walked into a shop that sold movie posters, and asked the saleslady if she had anything by Saul Bass.
She shook her head and said, rather wistfully: "No. Those are very rare..."
Here are some. For movies he also did titles for, check there.

As a rule, the posters for movies can be found on the movies pages.
Most of those that were hardly or not at all used for release you can find on this page.
Many are available as originals from MoviePoster.com, and also as reprints.

Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore: The definitive view of British nightlife

Ten years on, Mark Leckey's short film still captures the poignancy and strangeness of clubbing like nothing else

Mark Leckey's film captures 'the idea that "the best days of your lives" will be wiped away by a change in fashion'


This year sees the 10th anniversary of Mark Leckey's short film, Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore, perhaps the finest portrayal of British nightlife ever captured.

Leckey is best known for his exhibition Industrial Light & Magic, which won the 2008 Turner prize. He had first appeared alongside Damien Hirst at the ICA's New Contemporaries show in 1990, but by 1999 had fallen off the radar. Fiorucci … was a devastating return to form.

Fragments of "found" video footage from British nightclubs are spliced together, repeated and slowed down, while a perfectly edited collage of ambient sounds – snatches of rave tracks, crowd noise, men bellowing across provincial shopping precincts – filters in and out. There's a loose chronology – northern soul, soul weekenders, casuals, acid house – but the two defining themes of the film are timeless.

Firstly, what deeply strange places nightclubs are; hundreds of strangers, all as high as kites, crammed together in a deliberately disorientating space. And secondly, how much poignancy there is in something ostensibly celebratory; the idea that "the best days of your lives" will be wiped away by a change in fashion. Leckey captures this beautifully in the occasional sound of tolling bells, the endless headlong rush of the video timecodes, the snippets of empty rooms and the suddenly frozen images of young, apprehensive faces.

Jonathan Jones wrote that
"(Leckey) haunts the secret parts of modern culture, where memory and emotion linger". By doing so, he succeeded where almost everyone else fails – in accurately conveying what it feels like to be inside a nightclub, when being inside a nightclub is the most important thing in your life. Thanks to online video sites, the film is now available again; take 15 minutes to put on the headphones and sink back into Britain's clubbing past.

The doppelgänger phenomenon as an object of psychology

The doppelgänger phenomenon as an object of psychology

Das fremde Selbst The alien self

Von Ulrich Weger From Ulrich Weger

Schon Goethe sah sich einst selbst entgegenreiten – was steckt hinter diesen erstaunlich verbreiteten Doppelgänger-Begegungen? Even Goethe had once opposed riding - what's behind this amazing spread doppelgänger wonderful? Die Art, wie sich die Psychologie bisher in verschiedenen Ansätzen dieses Phänomens annahm, ist ein Stück moderner Bewusstseinsgeschichte. The way is so far in the psychology of this phenomenon different approaches adopted, is an awareness of modern history.

Würde man den Versuch wagen, den einzelnen naturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsepochen der Geschichte Leitsätze und Motive überzuordnen so wäre für die letzten Dekaden des ablaufenden Jahrtausends ein Schlagwort mehr als jemals zuvor treffend: Die Erstürmung des Gehirns. Would you dare to try, the individual scientific research epochs of the history and motives Summary override it would for the last decades of the millennium, running a slogan more accurately than ever before: the storming of the brain. Nicht nur versuchten Medizin und Biologie, immer feinere Details über dessen Aufbau und Funktion zu Tage zu fördern, nicht nur waren Technik und Informatik bemüht, sich dieselben stets von neuem in bizarrem Einfallsreichtum nutzbar zu machen (siehe Neurochips und Künstliche Intelligenz) - nein, es gab auch vor allem in der Kunst eine Verlagerung hin zu jenem Brennpunkt: Literatur und Musik, Malerei oder Bildhauerei sprechen ja neuerdings viel weniger Leib und Magen an, als dass sie durch ihre feingeistige Darstellungsart vor allem den Kopf zu immer höherer Abstraktionsfähigkeit, zu immer vollständigerer Ent-Sinnlichung rufen. Not only tried medicine and biology, ever finer details of the structure and function of days to promote, not just engineering and computer science were striving to always be the same again in bizarre ingenuity to use (see neuro-chips and Artificial Intelligence) - no, it were also primarily in the art is a shift of that focus: literature and music, painting or sculpture talking now much less heart and stomach, as they display their feingeistige especially the head to ever higher abstraction ability to always complete call sensible decision. Mithin ist diese Epoche bereits wieder im Vergehen begriffen, taucht in den Strom der Fortschrittlichkeit zurück, der stets nach Neuem drängt und kaum lange an einem Ort verweilt. Consequently, this era is already back in the offense understood plunges into the stream of progress, always pushing for the new and little long in one place dwells. Dennoch war dieser Ansturm auf das Hirn ein sonderbares Bestreben, es war der Versuch eines Wurfes - eines Wurfes hin zum Leben, der tief gedrungen ist, der sich weit in das pochende Fleisch des Menschseins hineingeschnitten hat und dennoch nicht befriedigt. Nevertheless, this rush to the brain A strange desire, it was the attempt to throw - a throw out to life, the deep squat, which has an impact far into the throbbing flesh of the human condition has cut into it and yet not satisfied. Es geht weiter, und die Dimensionen werden immer dünnluftiger, geben kaum mehr Halt für das schwere Gefährt, das Experimentatoren und Naturforscher bislang auffuhren. It continues, and the dimensions are always dünnluftiger, give little more grip for the heavy vehicle, the experimentalists and naturalists performances so far.
Es lohnt, an einem Beispiel zu verfolgen, wie die Psychologie, die seit Jahren um ihren Ruf als Naturwissenschaft kämpft, mit den eilig hastenden Revolutionen des Denkens Schritt zu halten versucht und gleichzeitig dabei ihre geisteswissenschaftliche Aristokratie nicht ganz zu verlieren hofft. It is worthwhile, in an example to follow, such as psychology, which for many years to their reputation as a science is struggling with the bustling hurry revolutions of thought trying to keep pace, while their humanities Aristocracy not to lose hope. Ich möchte dabei einen durchaus exotischen Bereich ansprechen - aber so muss es doch sein, denn gerade am Außergewöhnlichen lässt sich ja das Interessante verfolgen. I would like to make a quite area exotic appeal - but it must be because it is extraordinary on so the interesting track. Die Rede ist von dem umfangreich studierten und oftmals bestaunten Fall des Doppelgängerwahns, der so genannten Heautoskopie. The speech is from the extensive and often admired studied the case of the double madness, the so-called Heautoskopie.

Folkloristische Beliebtheit Folklore popularity

Das Phänomen erfreute sich lange Zeit nur folkloristischer Beliebtheit und wird seit Jahrhunderten in vielbeachteten Romanen und Erzählungen thematisiert. The phenomenon attracted a long time only folkloric popularity and has been for centuries in much-discussed novels and short stories. Dabei wird der Doppelgänger oft als Todesbote dargestellt, und der Betreffende rafft sich folgerichtig - im Verwirrungswahn der eigenen Gespaltenheit - zumeist durch Selbstmord hin. It is often referred to as the doppelgänger Todesbote shown, and the person rafft is consistent - in their own division Verwirrungswahn - mostly due to suicide. So ist es etwa dargestellt in Oscar Wildes Buch Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray oder Franz Werfels Spiegelmensch. For example, it is depicted in Oscar Wilde's book The Picture of Dorian Gray and Franz Werfel's mirror man. Das wohl bekannteste Beispiel ist William Wilson in Edgar Allan Poes gleichnamigen Roman, der bei dem Versuch, seinen Peiniger zu erschießen, sich selbst die Kugel in die Brust jagt. The most famous example is William Wilson in Edgar Allan Poe's eponymous novel, in the attempt, his tormentors to shoot the ball himself in the chest hunts.
Mittlerweile sind der Forschung viele Unterformen der Heautoskopie bekannt - rein visuelle Halluzinationen, wie etwa der Spiegeleindruck, bei dem das Double als stummer Teilnehmer auftritt; ferner das Anwesenheitsgefühl, das keine sensorische Wahrnehmung darstellt und dem Betroffenen nur die Empfindung des »Daseins eines Anderen« vermittelt, der in Erfahrungsberichten Betroffener oft als »seitlich hintenstehend« beschrieben wird. Meanwhile, the research of many sub-types known Heautoskopie - purely visual hallucinations, such as the mirror impression in which the double occurs as a silent participant, and also feeling the presence that is not sensory perception, and the only affected the sensation of "being someone else" conveys , which reports affected often experience as "sideways back hereinafter described. Des Weiteren unterscheidet man die out-of-body Erlebnisse, bei denen sich der Entsprechende von seinem Körper wie »von einer leeren Eierschale gelöst« fühlt und denselben nur als fremde, sich selbst allerdings ähnliche Gestalt erkennt. In addition, there are the out-of-body experiences, where the corresponding from his body as "of an empty egg shell resolved" and feels just the same as an alien himself, however, recognizes a similar form. 1 1

Ein Fallbeispiel A case study

Ein berühmt gewordenes und besonders bizarres Beispiel ist der Fall des damals 21-jährigen A., dessen reichhaltige »Doppelgänger-Biographie« äußerst eindrucksvoll ist. A famous and has become particularly bizarre example is the case of the then 21-year-old A., whose rich »doppelgängers biography" is very impressive. Eine der zahlreichen Episoden ist wie folgt abgelaufen: An dem betreffenden Morgen wachte A. mit einem seltsamen Gefühl auf. One of the many episodes has expired as follows: On the morning of A. woke with a strange feeling on. Als er sich umdrehte, sah er sich selbst noch im Bett liegen. When he turned, he saw himself still in bed. Er wurde ärgerlich über »diese Person, von der ich wusste, dass sie ich selbst war, und die durch ihr Verhalten riskierte, dass ich zu spät zur Arbeit kommen würde«. He was angry about "this person that I knew that it was myself, and by their conduct risked too late that I would come to work." Er versuchte, den Körper im Bett aufzuwecken - zuerst, indem er ihn anrief; dann, indem er ihn schüttelte und schließlich, indem er wiederholt auf seinem anderen Ich im Bett umhersprang. He tried to make the body in bed wake up - first, he called him then, he shook him and finally, he repeatedly pointed to his bed in the other I umhersprang. Der liegende Körper zeigte keine Reaktion. The underlying body showed no reaction. Erst in diesem Moment wurde sich der Betroffene über seine eigene Doppel-Existenz bewusst und war zunehmend verwirrt über die seltsame Unsicherheit, wer von den beiden nun er selbst war. Only at that moment, the person concerned about his own double-conscious existence, and was becoming increasingly confused about the strange uncertainty which of the two now he himself was. Mehrere Male sprang sein Bewusstsein zwischen jenem Körper, der aufrecht stand und jenem, der im Bett lag, hin und her und seine einzige Absicht war es, wieder eine Person zu werden; während er aus dem Fenster schaute (von wo aus er seinen Körper noch immer im Bett liegen sah), entschied er plötzlich, aufzuspringen, »um dieses unerträgliche Gefühl, in zwei gespalten zu sein, zu stoppen«. Several times his consciousness sprang between that body, and that stood upright in the bed was back and forth, and his only intention was to return a person to become, as he looked out the window (from where his body still always lie in bed saw), he decided suddenly aufzuspringen, "to this intolerable feeling split in two to be to stop." Zur gleichen Zeit hoffte er, »dass diese letzte verzweifelte Tat den Anderen im Bett aufschüttelt und so endlich dazu drängt, sich wieder mit mir zu vereinigen«. At the same time hoping he, "that this last desperate act to others in bed aufschüttelt and finally pushing back with me to unite." 2 2
Das oszillierende Bewusstsein des A. ist zweifellos das markanteste Charakteristikum an dieser Fallbeschreibung. The oscillating consciousness of A. is doubtless the most striking feature of this case description. Mit einem solchen Phänomenbereich konfrontiert galt es für Neurologen und Psychologen von Beginn an, seriöse Erklärungen zu bieten. Such a phenomenon confronting the field, it was necessary for neurologists and psychologists from the beginning, serious explanations to offer. Der erste vorgebrachte Ansatz freilich war unspektakulär. The first alleged approach was admittedly unspectacular. Man berief sich schlicht auf die Schizophrenie, urteilte also, dass dem Kuriosum der Doppelgängererscheinung eine Verzerrung der Wahrnehmung zu Grunde liege, denn bekanntlich sind die Mechanismen, die im Wachzustand ein vernünftiges Zusammenspiel der Sinneseindrücke ermöglichen, bei der genannten Krankheit außer Kraft gesetzt. It simply relied on schizophrenia, ruled then that the curious phenomenon of the doppelganger of distorting the perception is based, as we know, are the mechanisms in the wakefulness a sensible combination of sensory impressions possible, of the said disease in force. Eiligst durchgeführte Experimente, bei denen Schizophrene gestellte Körperbewegungen an Bildschirmdarstellungen verfolgen mussten, brachten tatsächlich ans Licht, dass die Betroffenen - verwunderlich genug - diese Fremdbewegungen häufig als von sich selbst ausgeführt betrachteten. Hastily conducted experiments in which body movements schizophrenic asked to screen displays track had in fact brought to light that the parties concerned - surprisingly enough - these extraneous movements frequently than of himself considered running. 3 Das legte nahe, dass Geisteskrankheiten mit einem verzerrten Körperschema einhergehen und Symptome wie die illusionäre Körperempfindung zur Folge haben können. 3 This suggests that mental illness with a distorted body schema and associated symptoms, such as the illusory body sensation may result. Der Umkehrschluss vom Doppelgängerwahn als psychiatrisch bedingtem Phänomen war da nur folgerichtig. The reverse of a psychiatric Doppelgängerwahn contingent phenomenon was only logical.
Die Naturforschung war hier also ganz dem Bodenständigen verhaftet, ließ sich von den Daten streng neurologischer Befunde durch das vormals abstruse Gestrüpp des Paranatürlichen leiten und wähnte des Rätsels Lösung bereits als gesichert. The nature of this research was quite the ground Standing arrested was from the data strictly neurological findings through the undergrowth of the formerly abstruse Paranatürlichen guide and deeming the puzzle solution as assured. Und doch war bald deutlich, dass damit noch nicht der letzte Schritt getan sei. And yet it was soon clear that this is not the last step was done. Denn schnell stellte sich heraus, dass auch erwiesenermaßen neurologisch gesunde Personen von den erwähnten Erlebnissen berichteten, die »Krankentheorie« mithin nicht schlüssig war. Because soon, it turned out that also proved to have neurological healthy individuals from the experiences reported above, the "sickness theory" was therefore not conclusive. So stand man wieder da, musste sich alsbald von der erhofften Sicherheit lösen, drang erneut in fremde Dimensionen vor und suchte außerhalb der psychiatrischen Pathologie nach weiteren Erklärungen. So we stood back, soon had the desired security solve again penetrated into unknown dimensions and looked outside the psychiatric pathology for further explanations.

Doppelgänger auf der Bergtour Doppelgängers on the mountain tour

Indem man auf die auch heute noch bekannten Fälle von Amputierten traf, welche angaben, an den entfernten Körperteilen noch so präzise Empfindungen zu haben wie etwa das Drücken eines Fingerringes oder die Unebenheit einer Bodenschwelle, auf die man vermeintlich mit dem Fuß tritt, zog man Querverbindungen zwischen illusionären Körperempfindungen und zu Grunde liegenden Nervenprozessen. By the still well-known cases of met amputees who reported to the remote parts of the body so to have accurate sensations such as pressing a ring finger or the unevenness of the ground level to which you supposedly occurs with the foot, pulled it links between the illusory body sensations and underlying neural processes. Wenn also das Gehirn schon in der Lage ist, einzelne Körperteile in fassbarer Leibhaftigkeit zu re-fingieren, dann war es auch nur ein kleiner Schritt anzunehmen, dass den beschriebenen Ganzkörper-Wahnvorstellungen ein neuronales Aktivitätsmuster übergeordnet ist, das etwa durch ungewöhnlich starke Stimulation (unüblicher Rausch, Extase, extremer Flash etc.) außer Takt geraten ist. So when the brain is already capable of individual body parts in tangible incarnate to re-fake, then it was only a small step to assume that the described whole-delusions of a neural activity pattern is superior, such as by the unusually strong stimulation (unusual intoxication, ecstasy, extreme flash, etc.) other than stroke is advised. Neu an dieser Ansicht war, dass sie nicht mehr Gleiches mit Gleichem erklärte, dass also das psychisch manifestierte Phänomen Doppelgängerwahn nicht länger als ebenso psychisch begründete Aberration abgetan wurde, sondern dass man nun einen Annäherungsversuch aus der Perspektive der »gesunden« Sinnesphysiologie wagte: Der Wahn konnte keine reine Narrenkrankheit sein. The novelty of this view was that they no longer like with like, said, so that the mentally manifested phenomenon Doppelgängerwahn no longer be just as psychologically justified aberration was dismissed, but that we now approach from the perspective of "healthy" sense ventured Physiology: The zeal Could not pure fools disease. Man hatte sich also schon fortbewegt, hatte sich gelöst von dem kindlich starrsinnigen Mythos, eine neurologische Verformung, die wirre Geister wie die Schizophrenen mit heißem Wahnsinn schwängert, für solche absonderlichen Erscheinungen verantwortlich zu machen und sah schon, dass sich zur medizinischen Psychiatrie auch noch anderes gesellen müsse, um die Phänomene zu erklären. It had therefore been moved, had been resolved by the childishly stubborn myth, a neurological deformation, the spirits confused as schizophrenic with hot schwängert madness, for such phenomena peculiar to blame, and saw already that medical psychiatry even otherwise be compounded in order to explain the phenomena. Das psychologische Forschen war mit dieser Einsicht ein wenig erwachsener geworden. The psychological research was with this insight has become a little adult.
Und doch, als jene Fälle von Körpergeschädigten bekannt wurden, welche von ihrer ersten Lebensstunde an keine oder nur verstümmelte Extremitäten hatten und dennoch über ganz ähnliche Empfindungen berichteten wie die Amputierten, wurde die Erklärung einer einfachen »Wiederbelebung«, welche das Gehirn während der Erlebnisse fingiert, brüchig; wie sollten sich denn diese Menschen auf Erfahrungen berufen, die einem solchen Wiederbelebungs-Versuch durch das Gehirn zu Grunde liegen könnten? And yet, as those cases of body injured were known which of their first hour at no or mutilated limbs and still had very similar feelings about how the amputees reported, the statement was a simple "revival", which the brain experiences during the fakes , brittle, because how should these people rely on the experience that such a revival attempt by the brain could be based? »Wiederbelebung« bedeutet hier Rückgriff auf einst Vorhandenes, und ein solcher Rückgriff war den Betroffenen verwehrt. »Revival" here means use of an existing one, and such recourse was denied to those concerned.
Ein weiteres Mal war die erhoffte Sicherheit, derer man sich durch scharfe Argumente und logisch herbeigeführte Schlüsse habhaft glaubte, verflossen. Another time it was hoped the security, which is by sharp arguments, and logical inferences induced habhaft thought verflossen. In jüngster Zeit kommen andere Versuche auf den Plan, die sich weiter distanzieren von dem, was bislang betrieben wurde, die stets größeren Abstand nehmen von der einfachen Annahme einer geistigen Beschränkung oder dauerhaften Nervenschwäche und sich also vom Dogma der »Nur-und-All-Ursache« Körper lösen und entfremden. More recently, other attempts on the plan, which are further distancing from what was previously operated, always take away from the simple acceptance of a mental limitation or permanent nerve weakness, and thus the doctrine of "Just and All - cause "and are alienated from the body to solve.
So werden gegenwärtig etwa Untersuchungen durchgeführt, bei denen man Personen unter Hochleistungsbedingungen (zB Expeditionsteilnehmer), in Lebensgefahr oder lang anhaltender sozialer Isolation, wie auch nach Erlebnismangel oder Gemütsveränderung zu ihren berichteten Doppelgänger-Erlebnissen befragt. To some investigations are currently carried out in which one person under conditions of high (eg, expedition members), in danger of life or prolonged social isolation, as well as to experience deficiency or mood changes to their reported experiences doppelgängers interviewed.
Eine höchst interessante Studie zu dieser Thematik veröffentlichte ein Schweizer Forscherteam im vergangenen Jahr. A very interesting study on this subject published a Swiss team of researchers in the past year. Die Wissenschaftler hatten dabei die Gelegenheit, acht Bergsteiger der Welt-Spitzenklasse zu ihren Doppelgänger-Erlebnissen während der Gebirgstouren zu befragen. The scientists had the opportunity, eight climbers in the world top-class on their experiences during doppelgänger of mountain tours ask. Es handelte sich bei der Erhebung um eine strukturierte Interview-Befragung, die jeweils in der Muttersprache durchgeführt wurde. It was in the collection is a structured interview survey, both in the mother tongue was carried out. 4 Die Ergebnisse waren vielfältig: Befragter 5 etwa, der sich zur fraglichen Zeit auf einem Marsch in 8300 Metern Höhe hinter zwei weiteren Kollegen befindet, erinnert sich: »Während der letzten Minuten [bevor der Aufstieg aufgegeben werden musste] hatte ich das Gefühl, dass eine weitere Person mit mir ging. 4 The results were diverse: about 5 respondent, who at the relevant time on a march in 8300 meters above sea level behind two other colleagues there, recalls: "During the last few minutes [before the climb had to be abandoned], I had the feeling that another person was with me. Er [wenngleich ich wusste, dass es ein Mann war, hatte ich nicht die entfernteste Idee, um wen es sich handeln könnte] war stets in einer Entfernung von etwa fünf Metern hinter mir, und obwohl ich deutlich sah, dass niemand dort war, schaute ich im Weiteren ununterbrochen zurück über meine Schulter. He [even though I knew it was a man, I had no idea the furthest, to whom it might act] was always at a distance of about five meters behind me, and even though I clearly saw that nobody was there, looked I also continuously back over my shoulder. Je intensiver ich seine Anwesenheit wahrnahm, umso stärker bemerkte ich in mir ein Gefühl der Leere, eine Hohlheit meines eigenen Körpers.«.* The more intense I exercise his presence, the more I noticed in me a feeling of emptiness, a hollowness in my own body. ".*
Person 1 berichtet über eine Episode während eines Solo-Aufstiegs in 7500 Metern Höhe: »Für mehrere Minuten schien es, dass das Zelt mindestens fünfmal größer war als ich es kannte. Person 1 talks about an episode during a solo climb in 7500 meters above sea level: "For several minutes it seemed that the tent was at least five times bigger than I knew. Der eigentümlichste Umstand allerdings war, dass sich mein eigener Körper ebenfalls etwa fünffach vergrößert anfühlte, wenngleich ich - wie meine Augen mir bezeugten - keinerlei offensichtliche Veränderungen ausmachen konnte, weder im Hinblick auf meinen eigenen Körper, noch auf meine Umgebung«.* The most characteristic fact was, however, that my own body is also increased about five fold to touch, although I - like my eyes testified to me - no obvious changes were identified, neither in terms of my own body, nor to my environment ".*
Und schließlich führt Person 2 über ihre Erlebnisse in 5000 bis 6000 Metern Höhe (ebenfalls während einer Solo-Tour) folgendes aus: »Trotz des Nebels sah ich diese Menschen ganz deutlich [...] Ich konnte einzelne Gesichter erkennen und entschied, dass ich niemanden von ihnen jemals zuvor gesehen hatte!«* And, finally, leads Person 2 about their experiences in 5000 to 6000 meters above sea level (also during a solo tour) as follows: "Despite the mist, I saw these people are quite clear [...] I was able to recognize individual faces and decided that I none of them had ever seen! "*
Die Phänomene können - und das ist wichtig zu bedenken - nicht allein auf die veränderten physiologischen Bedingungen (geringer Luftdruck, Sauerstoffmangel etc.) zurückgeführt werden, da eine überproportional große Zahl der Doppelgänger-Erlebnisse von Einzel-Bergsteigern berichtet wurde. The phenomena can be - and this is important to remember - not only to changing physiological conditions (low atmospheric pressure, oxygen, etc.) be returned, since a disproportionately large number of doppelgängers experiences of individual climbers have been reported. Eine solche Asymmetrie könnte durch die einfache Hypothese von Umweltbedingungen als Auslösegrund nicht schlüssig erklärt werden, denn die Letzteren (dh die Umweltbedingungen) sind ja in gleichem Maße auch auf Gemeinschaftstouren virulent. Such asymmetry could be explained by the simple hypothesis of environmental conditions than Auslösegrund not conclusively be explained, because the latter (ie environmental conditions) are also equally virulent on community outings. Man vermutet gerade im Gegenteil, dass die ausgeprägte soziale Isolation und der Mangel an Abwechslung für die Phänomene verantwortlich sind. It is thought just the opposite, that the marked social isolation and lack of variety for the phenomena are responsible.
Insgesamt ist erkennbar, dass sich die Häufigkeit jener dargestellten heautoskopischen Phänomene mit derselben Verhältnismäßigkeit steigert, mit der Menschen in solch extreme Situationen vordringen. Overall, it is evident that the frequency of those phenomena heautoskopischen presented with the same proportionality increases with the people in such extreme situations penetrate. Der Doppelgängerwahn ist also - und das kann eindeutig gesagt werden - nicht Korrelat einer krankhaften Veränderung, sondern Bestandteil gesunden Erlebens - welch brisanter Befund! The Doppelgängerwahn is - and this can clearly be said - not a correlate of pathological change, but part of healthy experience - what explosive results!
Die Forschung drängt hier in Bereiche vor, in welche Aberrationen im menschlichen Erleben und Verhalten weder durch umweltimmanente Auslöser noch durch eine inwendige, also personenbedingte Krankhaftigkeit zu erklären versucht werden. The research urges here in areas in which aberrations in the human experience and behavior neither shutter nor umweltimmanente by a inwendige, so people-related morbidity are trying to explain. Was als Möglichkeit verbleibt, was also in der wissenschaftlichen Psychologie immer mehr zur Forschungsgrundlage nicht-physischer Sachverhalte herangezogen (werden) wird, sind höherrangige Dimensionen, ist schließlich das Geistesleben des Menschen! What remains as a possibility, was also in the academic psychology becomes more of a research base of non-physical facts is used, (be), are higher dimensions, is finally the spiritual life of man!
Das Eindringen in diese Dimensionen ist dabei kein geringes Risiko, denn der Umgang mit solchen Sachverhalten ist in der experimentellen Wissenschaft relativ neu und unbekannt, und wer sich auf solch subtilem Gebiet roh oder allzu dilettantisch benimmt, fällt womöglich böse auf die Nase und wird manchen Spott auf sich vereinigen. The penetration in these dimensions is not low risk, because dealing with such situations is in experimental science is relatively new and unknown, and who on such subtle field crude or overly amateurish behaves, is probably mad at the nose and is some derision to unite.

Doppelgängerwahn und Suizid Doppelgängerwahn and suicide

Wie lange der aktuelle Ansatz im Übrigen vorhält, ist unbekannt. As long as the current approach, moreover vorhält is unknown. Doch man merkt gleich, die Wissenschaft wird hier haltloser, spekulativer und man muss sich schon in seinem Umgang mit den vertrauten Mitteln souverän benehmen, will man bei dem steilen Weg nicht in die einstmalige Verunsicherung zurückfallen. But immediately you can see, the science is holding free, speculative and you should have in his handling of trust funds sovereign behave if we are at the steep path in the fall Once uncertainty.
Aber auch die neuen Richtungen sind in ihrem Erklärungspotential alles in allem noch recht eingeschränkt und bescheiden. But the new directions in their potential Declaration, all in all still quite limited and modest. Ganz unbekannt ist etwa die Begründung für den Umstand - und hier binden die Spekulationen wieder an die Folklore an - warum unter jenen, die vom Doppelgängerwahn betroffen sind, eine so hohe Suizidrate zu vermerken ist. Ganz is unknown about the justification for the fact - and this tie back to the speculations in the folklore - why among those who are affected by Doppelgängerwahn, such a high suicide rate to be listed. Ob etwa der Selbstmord in der Absicht geschieht, den verhassten Eindringling zu vernichten (aus der Perspektive des Betroffenen müsste man somit von Mord sprechen - siehe EA Poes William Wilson) oder aber ob sich die Tat im vollen Bewusstsein der eigenen Betroffenheit vollzieht, ist - und bleibt vermutlich immer - ungeklärt. Whether some of the suicide is done with the intention of the hated invader to be destroyed (from the perspective of the person concerned would be necessary to speak thus of murder - see EA Poe's William Wilson), or whether the acts in full awareness of their own dismay place, - and probably always remain - unanswered.
Es ist dieser Zusammenhang von Doppelgängerwahn und Selbstmord freilich ein bekümmernder Befund. It is this relationship between suicide Doppelgängerwahn and admittedly a bekümmernder conclusion. Wenn der eigene Körper als etwas Fremdes gesehen, wenn also Leib und Geist nicht mehr als synthetische Einheit, sondern als unabhängige Entitäten erachtet werden, ergreift den Menschen Unwohlsein, das ihn zu Trotz und Rebellion treibt. If the body seen as something alien, so if your body and mind no longer than synthetic unity, but as independent entities deemed to be, take the people feeling unwell, took him to spite and rebellion drives.
Diese Annahme stimmt durchaus trübe und das umso mehr, als man ja doch zugestehen muss, dass Leib und Geist von ihrer Idee her nicht zusammenpassen. This assumption agrees quite murky and even more so, than yes but you must admit that the body and mind of their idea was not fit together. So ist es eben: In dem Maße, in welchem das eine in den Vordergrund tritt, wird das andere in den Schatten gedrängt, und wie der Geist erst dann zu Höchstem fähig ist, wenn der Körper ganz im Hintergrund verschollen bleibt, vermag Letzterer seinerseits nur das Äußerste zu geben, wenn der Geist ganz blass und unkenntlich ist. It is precisely in the extent to which the one in the fore, the other pushed into the shadows, and how the mind only be highly competent, if the whole body is lost in the background, the latter in turn can only to the extreme, if the mind is pale and is unrecognizable. Das ist weithin bekannt, und man sieht ja auch, wie deshalb alle Welt bemüht ist, die Synthese möglichst vollständig zu halten. It is widely known, and it looks even, so as all the world is endeavoring to make the most complete synthesis to date. Manche streben zu dem einen Pol, bei dem sich der Geist dem Leib überordnet und dieser Letztere sich somit nicht mehr als zwiespältiges Zerwürfnis bemerkbar macht; aber unser ganzes System, unsere Alltagsphilosophie, unser rundherum gegenwärtiges Allgemeinwesen, dem wir in seiner konsumhörigen Maßregelung beständig gegenüberstehen, ist doch ganz darauf gerichtet, die Synthese gerade am anderen Ende zu bieten, in vollständiger Versinnlichung, in ganz irdischer Leib-haftigkeit. Some aspire to a pole, where the mind and the body überordnet this latter is thus no more than conflicting Zerwürfnis noticeable, but our whole system, our everyday philosophy around our current general education, which we consume in their respective disciplinary resistant face is surely aimed at the synthesis of straight at the other end to offer, in full Versinnlichung across earthly body-haftigkeit.
Ob nun so oder so: Fest steht, dass diese Polarität ein immerwährendes Austarieren der eigenen Position, ein beständiges Hin- und Hereilen zwischen den beiden Randpunkten erfordert. Whether so or so: It is clear that this polarity is an everlasting Austarieren of their own position, a constant outward and Hereilen edge between the two points required. Tatsächlich ist dieses Wanken und Suchen einer der zentralen Inhaltspunkte des menschlichen Lebens. Indeed, this unstable and search one of the key content points of human life. Nicht jeder fühlt freilich das Schwingen mit jener Intensität, wie sie der Doppelgängerwahn zum Ausdruck bringt. Not everyone feels the swinging freely with that intensity, as the Doppelgängerwahn expresses.

Biggs release papers are 'gold dust'

Biggs release papers are 'gold dust'

Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs has been officially released from his prison sentence and his son Michael has called the official documents "gold dust".

It is after the 79-year-old, who was granted compassionate release by Justice Secretary Jack Straw yesterday.

The Ministry of Justice confirmed that prison staff have left Biggs's bedside at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, where he is being treated for pneumonia.

Mr Straw said the decision was based on medical evidence that his condition had deteriorated and he was not expected to recover from pneumonia.

But last night Biggs, who has suffered three strokes and cannot talk, used a spelling board to tell his son he was "over the moon".

The decision means he can celebrate his birthday on Saturday a free man. It will be 46 years to the day since the robbery.

Biggs was a member of a 15-strong gang which attacked the Glasgow to London mail train at Ledburn, Buckinghamshire, in August 1963, and made off with £2.6 million in used banknotes.

@FUCKING @REDNECKS - @Twitter and @Facebook @cyber attack 'aimed at lone @Georgia @blogger' | @MailOnline @mrjyn

A cyber attack that caused misery for millions of Facebook and Twitter users may have been a deliberate attempt to silence just one activist blogger, it was claimed tonight.

The 'massively coordinated attack'  -  which caused chaos across the worldwide web - was thought to have originated from Russia.

Their apparent aims was to block a pro-Georgian blogger posting his thoughts on the first anniversary of the start of last year's five-day war between Russia and Georgia.

The attack spread through popular websites such as Facebook, micro-blogging site Twitter and Google, causing chaos on Wednesday.

Today, security experts at Facebook claimed the online campaign targeted just one person, a Georgian blogger going by the name of Cyxymu.

But others said the assault could have been a test run for blackmail attempts or even extortion.

The co-ordinated cyber assault caused disruptions to Facebook and managed to shut down Twitter for a couple of hours for its army of 3 million Uk subcribers

Google managed to stop the 'denial of service' campaign, but another site, LiveJournal was also affected

The hacking technique works by making thousands of attempts from an army of infected computers to contact a single site at the same time.

This results in a huge cyber jam, blocking legitimate traffic to the websites.

Graham Cluley, of internet security specialist Sophos, said: 'It's a bit like 15 fat men trying to get through a revolving door at the same time — nothing can move. In the meantime, micro-bloggers around the world are likely to be left twiddling their thumbs.'

Max Kelly, of Facebook, said: 'It was a simultaneous attack across a number of properties targeting him to keep his voice from being heard.

'We're actively investigating the source of the attacks and we hope to be able to find out the individuals involved in the back end and to take action against them if we can.'

Facebook has more than 250 million users worldwide the hackers also used something called a 'botnet' in an attempt to crash the websites.

Large amounts of spam emails were sent out containing a link to the activist blogging websites.

When thousands of people clicked on the links at the same time some servers were overwhelmed by the demand.

'The attacks appear to be directed at an individual who has a presence on a number of sites, rather than the sites themselves,' said Mr Kelly.

Security experts also said that criminals are increasingly threatening to sabotage websites who refuse to pay ransoms.

Twitter's co-founder Biz Stone said: 'Attacks such as this are malicious efforts orchestrated to disrupt and make unavailable services such as online banks, credit card payment gateways, and in this case, Twitter for intended customers or users. We are defending against this attack.'

The site has seen a huge rise in popularity in recent months and it is now the 38th most visited site in Britain.

Google said: 'Google systems prevented substantive impact to our services. We are aware that a handful of non-Google sites were impacted by a DOS attack, and are in contact with some affected companies to help investigate this attack.'

Packinghouse guy torches Tinkered odiousness | Wise Bread - oh, i get it...btw: always thought the fish teeth coming out of the can was from WWN...but it's real

Packinghouse guy torches Tinkered odiousness is a dish with real bite. Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm not entirely sure what kind of Fish Mouths are in this can of strangeness, but I'm not in a huge rush to find out either. Catfish maybe? I have heard fish cheeks are devine though.

Fish

 

I'd eat the next one. Not because I was forced but because I'd eat my shoe if it's covered in curry sauce. That's just the Brit in me. Anyway, Thai Green Curry with Crocodile sounds really good to me.

Croc Curry

 

I have to admit, we're getting into territory that even I can't face now. I'll give it a try if I have to, if I was hungry enough, but canned scorpions don't have that nice ring to it.

Blergh! Could you eat these strange canned foods? | Wise Bread

Ooh yeshiva deserving crackups – warmongering lectureship! WHOLE chicken in a CAN - from the girl that does posts like this...tired

You might remember I bought this at the same time I bought the canned pork brains in milk gravy. At the time, I did not fully comprehend that it was an ENTIRE chicken bones and all inside the can.

BTW you can’t see it but under the lettuce, on the far right it says “serving suggestion”. Yeah, why not also suggest you poop gold and fart jet fuel? It is also without giblets, don’t want to know what they did with those.

April2009 032

Here are the serving suggestions. I decided to roast it according to the instructions provided for the purest experience. It had been chilling in my fridge for a month at least before I opened it today.

April2009 033

When you open the can, this is what you see. Little chicken knuckles poking out from the schmaltz. I initially wanted to pull out the chicken and reserve the broth in the can, but the bones were too wiggly, so I had to pour it out.

April2009 040

Wow, Sweet Sue doesn’t look so sweet upside down.

April2009 042

My 3 year old was fascinated. That’s chocolate on his face, btw from the other taste test we did today.

April2009 045

And it’s out!

April2009 047

Close up of some sort of something. All I know is that it wasn’t the giblets, as those are not included.

April2009 050

I poured all of this off to roast the chicken.

April2009 054

Goofball wanted to make sure I got a picture of his whole face!

April2009 075

Bowl of reserved goo. Realized I did not in fact want to keep it and tossed it down the garbage disposal. I did taste it (the broth part, not the fat globs and mystery bits) with my finger and it was very weak like somebody had just dunked a chicken in some water.

April2009 078

Out of the oven after 15+ minutes at 475 as instructed. It never did get brown.

April2009 079

It was really scrawny!

April2009 084

And the taste? There really wasn’t any. The white meat was a bit more cottony than the dark meat, but it all tasted like all the flavor had been cooked out. Sort of like the little bits of chicken in condensed chicken noodle soup. I thought before cooking it that I might use the meat in some sort of chicken salad, like you’d use canned chunk chicken breast but this is seriously lacking and I don’t think anyone would eat it. I am going to strip the meat and put it out for the neighborhood cats (not in front of my house though!) it doesn’t seem too salty or anything, so I think it will be okay.

About a month ago, there was a thread on the IHMMB forums linking to a Consumerist post called “The Worst Food Product Ever May Have Been Found“. I was surprised how many people had never heard of pork brains in milk gravy, as I’ve seen them in many grocery stores, near the Spam and canned corned beef hash. So, of course I went and bought a can. I couldn’t find the Armour brand, but I think off brand pork brains are probably just as good.

You might have noticed that both cans have the brains nestled in scrambled eggs. That’s how they are served here and you can even find them on some restaurant menus. I’ve never seen anyone order it, but I always like it when I see it on the menu. It gives me that “ahhh, I’m not eating at no dang corporate chain, no I’m eating at the restaurant of the people. The eggs n’ brains eating dadgummed heart of America” feeling.

Okay, you’re right, I was totally stalling on opening the can.

The smell that came out of the can was like ground up vienna sausages mixed with particularly strong canned dog food. The cheap kind, not the kind that is better than what most people eat. I can still smell it, but maybe that’s because I haven’t taken out the trash yet.

Brains on a plate! Brains on a plate!

Brains on a plate! Brains on a plate!

I tipped the can out onto a plate and that’s when my stomach really started to clench up and I became woozy and light-headed. I’d thought about scrambling up some eggs and tucking it inside to see if I could make it look like the picture on the front of the can but all the blood was rushing out of my head and I couldn’t imagine making it that far without vomitting or falling down. It felt as if I couldn’t walk and it was all I could do to set up the camera to take a picture. Of course, my tripod was wobbling (it’s one of those bendy legged ones) and I felt a sudden fear that my camera would fall into the pork brains and felt as though I might cry.

Brains bring up some deep seated taboo and it distresses me to even look at them. If pigs have souls, surely they must live in the brain. And surely pigs must have souls, otherwise people wouldn’t make so many movies about them. And to eat, or even touch the house of another living being’s soul or scramble it with eggs, why that’s sacrilege. Let’s hope that there is really no such thing as zombies, for if there are, and one gets me, I’ll be in a doozy of a pickle then.

However, since I’m nothing if not dedicated to my work as a person who blogs about stuff so people will pay attention to her, I did dip my pinkie finger in the milk gravy and have a small taste. It was salty and made me shudder. I thought perhaps I ought to give it a poke but I couldn’t make my fingers do it, so I dumped the whole thing in the garbage disposal and let the water run a good long time.

I am also wondering why the milk gravy. So, I wrote Armour (I couldn’t find Rose’s website):

Hi! I was wondering why your pork brains, and indeed all the brands of pork brains I have ever seen, are packed in milk gravy. Is it for taste or does the milk act as a preservative?
Thanks!
Tracy

I will let you know if I get an answer. Until then, enjoy this video of some fools eating Rose pork brains in milk gravy.

The End! (I refuse to speculate as to what that dark matter on the bottom might be)
