Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan came out swinging in Thursday's one and only debate between the V.P. candidates, trading political and personal barbs in a 90-minute conversation that became heated at several points.
Immediately notable about the debate format was that the candidates did not stand behind podiums, but rather were seated behind a desk in office chairs, facing moderator Martha Raddatz at Centre College in Danville, Ky. The combative tone of the debate was markedly different from last week's meeting between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, with Ryan and Biden frequently interrupting and speaking over each other to clarify their positions on domestic and foreign issues including taxes, health care, and the removal of troops from Afghanistan. Biden in particular refused to back down on any points — often openly laughing at Ryan's responses, and at one point referred to the Wisconsin congressman's arguments as "a bunch of malarkey."
Obama, Romney meet in first presidential debate
Ryan got in a few jabs as well, however. When the verbal gaffe-prone Biden referenced Romney's 47 percent comments, Ryan responded: "I think the Vice President knows, sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way." "But I always say what I mean," Biden shot back.
At another point, Ryan referenced President Obama's lackluster performance in the first presidential debate, telling Biden, "I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for a lost round, but I think people would be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other."
On foreign policy, Biden stressed that the Obama administration's policy was to avoid war at all costs, while Ryan spoke of his and Romney's concern about America appearing weak. The two candidates also referenced their faiths (it was the first time two Catholic candidates had met in a vice-presidential debate) when outlining their opposing views on abortion.
Here's a breakdown of each candidate's views on some of the issues that were discussed:
On preventing Iraq from obtaining a nuclear weapon:
Biden: "If we ever have to take action, unlike when we took office, we will have the world behind us. And that matters."
Ryan: "They're racing toward a nuclear weapon. ... The administration ... [says] the military option is on the table, but it's not being viewed as credible ... In a Romney administration, we would have credibility on this issue."
On the economy:
Biden (addressing Republicans): "Just get out of the way. Stop talking about how you care about something. Show me something. Show me a policy where you take responsibility. ... They talk about this great recession if it fell out of the sky like, 'Oh my goodness! Where did it come from?' It came from this man [Ryan] voting to put two wars on a credit card, to at the same time put a prescription drug benefit on the credit card, and a trillion-dollar tax cut for the very wealthy ... and now all of a sudden these guys are so seized with the concern about the debt that they created."
Ryan: "The economy is barely limping along. ... They came in with one-party control ... and look at where we are right now. ... Was it a good idea to borrow all this money from countries like China and spend it on all these various different interest groups?"
On Medicare:
Ryan: "They haven't put a credible solution on the table. ... We would rather have 50 million future seniors determine how their Medicare is delivered to them instead of 15 bureaucrats deciding what, if, where, when they get it."
Biden: "Any senior out there, ask yourself, do you have more benefits today? You do."
Ryan: "We are not going to jeopardize this program, but we have to save it for the next generation so it doesn't go bankrupt."
Biden: "You are jeopardizing the program. You're changing the program from a guaranteed benefit to a premium support whatever you call it. The bottom line is, people are going to have to pay more money out of their pocket, and the families I know, the families I come from, they don't have the money to pay more out of pocket."
Tonight's Vice Presidential debate: Will you watch?
On tax cuts:
Ryan: "We think that government taking 28 percent of a family and business' income is enough. President Obama thinks that the government ought to be able to take as much as 44.8 percent of a small business' income. ... Watch out, middle class. The tax bill's coming to you."
Biden: "The middle class will pay less and people making a million dollars or more will pay more. ... let [the Bush tax cuts] expire like they're supposed to on those millionaires. We can't afford $800 billion going to people making a minimum of a million dollars. They do not need it."
On withdrawing troops from Afghanistan:
Biden: "We are leaving in 2014, period. ... The primary objective is almost completed. Now all we're doing is putting the Kabul government in a position to be able to maintain their own security. It's their responsibility, not Americans'."
Ryan: "We don't want to broadcast to our enemies, 'Put a date on your calendar, wait us out and then come back.' ... We agree with the timeline and the transition. ... What we do not want to do is give our allies reason to trust us less and we don't want to embolden our enemies to hold and wait out for us and then take over."
On abortion:
Ryan: "I believe that life begins at conception. ... The policy of a Romney administration will be to oppose abortions with the exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother."
Biden: "I accept my church's position on abortion. ... I accept it in my personal life, but I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews. I just refuse to impose that on others ... I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, that they can't control their body. It's a decision between them and their doctor."
Did the debate help move the needle on the campaign? Who do you think came out on top?

Released in 1972, Distant Light provided the first signs of The Hollies' brief foray into hard rock territory. It included "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress," which many people feel is atypical of The Hollies' classic blend of fresh harmonies and catchy melodies. But the song worked out fine, as did most of the other tracks on this sadly overlooked album. Surprisingly, lead vocalist Allan Clarke, who co-wrote the song and played its now famous rolling guitar intro, departed to pursue a solo career prior to the album's release.
Not that Distant Light came on like a whole lotta Led Zeppelin, but even long-time fans had to be pleasantly shocked to hear guitarist Tony Hicks cutting loose during the final minutes of "Promised Land," a powerful anti-war song he co-wrote with non-band member Kenny Lynch. "You Know The Score," written by Clarke and rhythm guitarist-harmony vocalist Terry Sylvester, sets its lament of "Death and destruction/We've got to change it now, Lord only knows how" to a hard-hitting arrangement. "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" with its Creedence Clearwater Revival style chugging guitar, would go on to be an FM radio staple, and lately, a gasoline commercial.
"Long Dark Road," the other hit single from the album, was an appealing mid-tempo gem built on acoustic guitar, soaring harmonies, and Clarke's high energy harmonica playing. Distant Light also had some gorgeous pop, particularly "Cable Car," "To Do With Love," and "Little Thing Like Love," which sounded like vintage Elton John. "Pull Down The Blind," Sylvester's sarcastic look at heartache, and "Hold On," Clarke's rollicking tale of a one-night stand gone wrong, added even more flavor.
The Hollies would delve further into hard rock on the next album, Romany with new singer Mikael Rickfors, but by the time Clarke returned to the fold for a self-titled effort featuring "The Air That I Breathe," they had pretty much abandoned the approach. Still, Distant Light stands as one of the most consistent efforts of The Hollies' post Graham Nash era.

Robert Schwentke's 2010 comic book adaptation Red brought together a pretty incredible cast. While Bruce Willis alone is usually enough to sell an action movie, the film also included Morgan Freeman, Mary Louise-Parker, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss and Ernest Borgnine. It's a pretty hard group of actors to top, but not only does the upcoming sequel, Red 2, bring back a good number of them, it even adds some great names to mix, including both Anthony Hopkins and Byung Hun Lee, the two stars featured on today's pair of new character posters that come to us via Yahoo!
We've been posting new one-sheets for Red 2 all week in anticipation of the brand new trailer that's set to launch tomorrow, with Willis and Malkovich taking center stage on Tuesday; and Mirren and new addition Catherine Zeta-Jones taking the spotlight yesterday. The posters have all been a bit same-y, splashed in red and filled with guns and madness, but it's hard to argue that it's not a great way to show off the terrific ensemble.
So what is Red 2 actually about? It begins as Frank Moses (Willis) is forced to get his team of operatives back together to go on a global quest for a missing nuclear device. Unfortunately, the mission is backed to the gills with danger, as the gang throws down with assassins, terrorists and even some power-hungry government officials. We hope it can deliver similar thrills to the first movie, which was not only a box office hit, but fared fairly well with critics as well
Stay tuned for the new trailer tomorrow and see Red 2 in theaters July 19th.

This is related to Victor Protsak's approach to this question.
Suppose that $p\gt 11$ is a prime of the form $5n+1$. Can we prove that $1^5,2^5,\dots,n^5$ cannot be pairwise different modulo $p$?
I ran a quick computer search, and this is indeed the case for $p\le 5\times 42806+1=214031$. In fact, $|\{ i^k\pmod p: 1\le i\le n\}|/n$ stays rather close to 0.672...
It is not hard to answer the same question with 3 in the place of 5: There are no primes of the form $3n+1$ with $1^3,2^3,\dots,n^3$ distinct modulo $p$. Quickly, $-3$ is a quadratic residue of any $p$ of the form $3n+1$. One easily checks that (modulo $p$) there must be a $y$ such that $y^2=-3$ and either $x=y-1\ne 1$ or $x=(y-1)/2\ne 2$ is in the interval $[1,n]$. But then $(x+1)^2=-3$ so $x^3=8$, or $(2x+1)^2=-3$ so $x^3=1$.
If instead of 3 we use a number of the form $4k$, then there are only finitely many primes $p=4nk+1$ for which $1^{4k},\dots,n^{4k}$ are distinct modulo $p$ (but there may be such $p$; for example, if $4k=84$, then we can take $n=5$). This is because there are $x,y$ with $1\le x\lt y$ and $x^2+y^2=p$, so $x^{4k}\equiv y^{4k}\pmod p$, and if $p$ is slightly larger than $(4k)^2$, then $y\le n$.
(Of course one can ask the same question with any $k$ in the place of $5$, and I suspect that as long as $k>2$, the answer is always that there are only finitely many values of $n$ for which the powers are distinct. But I also suspect that this is going to be significantly harder than for $k=5$. I would be delighted for suggestions or approaches towards this more general case.)

Tina Turner gets married
Tina Turner is married.
Turner got hitched to longtime partner Erwin Bach recently in Switzerland. The 73-year-old singer and 57-year-old music producer have been together for 27 years. Reuters reported the newlyweds had a civil ceremony "a few days ago" in Zurich.
The couple will reportedly celebrate with a Buddhist ceremony at Turner's lakefront mansion on the banks of Lake Zurich.
As you may or may not know, this is Turner's second marriage. She was previously married to rock and roll pioneer Ike Turner from 1962 to 1976. Ike died from a cocaine overdose in 2007. The turbulent and abusive marriage was chronicled in her 1986 memoir "I, Tina" and the 1993 film "What's Love Got to Do With It," starring Angela Bassett as Tina and Laurence Fishburne as Ike.
Turner retired from performing in 2009 and became a Swiss citizen earlier this year. She has a 55-year-old son, Craig (with musician Raymond Hill), and a 52-year-old son, Ronald (with Ike).

Wizards beat Heat 105-101 for 2nd win of season
His feet soaking in a tub of ice, his eyes scanning a box score, LeBron James chuckled a bit at the notion that his Miami Heat might learn something from a surprising setback against the Washington Wizards.
"Nah, man, there's not no lesson. This ain't a lesson for us. We just lost," James explained. "We've seen and been through everything, so we don't need a loss to be like, `Oh, let's catch ourselves.' It happens."
Not too many people figured this outcome would happen, though, a message Wizards coach Randy Wittman delivered to his players before their worst-in-the-NBA team went out and beat the Heat 105-101 on Tuesday night behind Jordan Crawford's 22 points - and despite James' triple-double of 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists.
Perhaps inspired by the courtside presence of Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, who exchanged a handshake with Cowboys fan James after the final buzzer, the Wizards doubled their victory total this season. The Wizards improved to 2-13, earning their second win in the past three games after starting a franchise-worst 0-12.
"I'm so happy for those guys," said Wittman, who called this perhaps the most satisfying victory of his coaching career.
He said he told his team beforehand: "The only people that think you have a chance tonight are the people here in this room. ... We need to have a statement game."
And, Wittman continued, "I said, `I've seen it a number of times, guys.' ... (People say), `They ain't got a chance to win this game.' And that's what people were saying. We all listen. Could hear it on the street and all that. These guys, it bothers them."
The reigning NBA champion Heat's six-game winning streak ended, and they fell to 12-4.
"You move on," said Dwyane Wade, who scored 24 for Miami. "You learn from it, but you don't become a good team by holding onto certain losses - or certain wins."
The Wizards don't defeat many teams, but they defeat the Heat: This made it three consecutive regular-season victories for Washington over Miami, including two last season in April.
"It's a big momentum win for us, obviously. We've been struggling to put together four quarters," Washington point guard Shaun Livingston said.
The Heat were the ones rushing shots on occasion and they made only 8 of 28 attempts on 3-pointers. The Wizards, surprisingly, were the ones being patient, making the extra pass, finding the teammate with an open look - and finishing with 31 assists on 38 baskets.
With a crowd of 17,761 - not, incidentally, a sellout - standing and screaming down the stretch, relishing that rare chance to witness a compelling game, Kevin Seraphin contributed 16 points and 10 rebounds for the hosts, Crawford made three free throws in the final 11 seconds, and James missed a potentially tying 3-pointer with 3.9 to go.
After trailing by as many as 12, Miami tied the game at 88 on Bosh's reverse layup with 6 minutes, 50 seconds left. But Crawford's 15-footer put Washington ahead 99-95 with a little more than 2 1/2 minutes remaining.
With 18 seconds left, James wasted a chance to give the Heat the lead, clanking a 3-point attempt. Crawford's free throw then made it 102-99, and he slapped his palms together vociferously. James made a shot in the lane to pull within 102-101, and Crawford added two free throws for a 104-101 edge with 6.9 seconds on the clock.
James then missed his last shot, another 3. Nene got the rebound, and tacked on a free throw.
Unlike the James-Wade-Bosh Heat, the Wizards are mostly a collection of castoffs and high draft picks who never lived up to their billing - or have yet to, anyway. Their best player, 2010 No. 1 overall pick John Wall, has yet to participate in a practice, let alone play, this season because of a left knee cap injury.
Before the game, Wittman said he can't give an idea of when Wall will be available.
Afterward, Wittman was in a far better mood.
"That was a complete game for us, start to finish," Wittman said. "I'll be able to sleep tonight."
Notes: Heat G Mario Chalmers sat out the fourth quarter with a jammed finger. ... Wizards F Trevor Ariza left in the third quarter with a strained left calf and was limping in the locker room afterward. He was fitted with a walking boot. ... As Washington's Emeka Okafor stepped to the foul line a little less than 4 minutes into the game, the arena rumbled with some of the loudest, most enthusiastic cheers of the evening. For Okafor? Hardly. No, the buzz was because fans realized that Griffin was in the house, making his way to a front-row seat. Afterward, James was asked whether RG3's vow to transform the basketball star into a Redskins fan could succeed. "No. But I'm a fan of his, though. He's an unbelievable talent. I like to watch him play," James said. ... Wittman went with his fifth different starting lineup. ... The Heat were without Shane Battier (right knee) and Norris Cole (strained groin).

The Beatles crossing Abbey Road. Jimi Hendrix kneeling over a burning guitar. Bo Diddley's horn-rim glasses and square Gretsch. Elvis Presley's pompadour. Rock 'n' roll has been defined by images as much as by power chords and amps that go to 11.
But as many people know, there's a thriving global punk scene with its own images that has been largely invisible to the mainstream since its inception in the '70s. And one of the most popular icons of this underground is Maximum Rocknroll magazine.
"I think of that picture of Robert Plant with his arm in the air, with the mic and the light shining behind him, bare-chested with the vest thing on," said Paul Curran, longtime volunteer with Maximum Rocknroll. "We're the opposite of that."
Maximum Rocknroll has been a beloved indie music publication for more than a quarter-century. The monthly magazine survives on a shoestring budget and an army of volunteers, whom it lovingly calls "shitworkers."
This year MRR released its first photography issue in quite some time, interviewing punk shooters and showcasing contributions from MRR's global readership.
Punk's in-your-face aesthetic is as different from detached rock stars as Maximum's anti-commercial stance is from corporate magazines. Despite the dire financial straights of many media outlets, including MRR, the photo issue has sold out, proving there's still life underground.
Read on to see photos from the issue and take a look inside a world of cramped basements and distorted guitars.
Update: This is not MRR's first photography issue, as the post originally stated, but it has been a while since their last one.

Bay Area garage kings The Mummies ruled the low-fi roost for the late '80s and early '90s, touring around in a derelict ambulance and leaving a trail of rags in their wake.
In addition to curating MRR's weekly photo blog, Murrmann is photo editor for Mother Jones and contributes to San Francisco photo collective Hamburger Eyes.
Magazine spreads and album jackets have boasted many celebrated names, but MRR intentionally approached lesser-known contemporary shooters for its photography issue.
"We try and get across the idea that you could be on stage, you could be writing the scene report, you could be taking the photo," said English transplant Layla Gibbons, one of two magazine coordinators at MRR. "The reader is the person that creates punk."
Former coordinator Mark Murrman nurtured the issue from a desire to interview Bay Area shooter Chris "Canderson" Anderson (not Wired magazine editor-in-chief Chris Anderson).
"The intention was just that there's a lot of great punk photographers out here," he said, speaking on the phone from his desk at Mother Jones. "Not only whose work should be seen but it would be interesting to know more about them."
Maximum has a long-standing policy of not accepting advertisements, reviewing albums or interviewing bands on major labels or labels distributed by majors. Regardless of the draw bigger acts may have had for newsstand sales, no photographs were run of anyone who had left the underground.

One of San Francisco's first punk bands, Crime's greatest moment of notoriety was playing San Quentin Penitentiary while wearing police uniforms.
Lily Chou is a traveling photographer who runs the website Jetlag Rocknroll.
Maximum Rocknroll began as a Bay Area radio show in the late '70s. The loudest voice and driving force behind the microphone was Tim Yohannan. Alongside other future luminaries Jello Biafra, Jeff Bale and Ruth Schwartz, the staff pushed politics and activism on listeners in between spinning the latest punk records.
In 1982 the radio show staff conspired with Biafra's upstart Alternative Tentacles record label to release the double-LP compilation Not So Quiet on the Western Front. The project intentionally focused on lesser-known bands from places not affiliated with a nationally known scene, and the MRR founders included politicized essays and a newsprint booklet designed by participants. Thus Maximum Rocknroll was born.
The magazine quickly became recognized as an authoritative voice propelled by Yohannan's hardline ethics and a transient crew of volunteers. Readers were invited to contribute, creating a diverse and international dialogue through letters, scene reports and interviews. Other articles railed against the empty commodification of culture politics.
MRR was never a profit-seeking endeavor, and extra cash flow is routinely donated to smaller fanzines, labels and special projects. Volunteers were received with open arms –- mohawks not required.
Along with stature came criticism. Maximum is often pegged as a monolithic entity espousing the one true philosophy of punk. Derided as politically correct scene police, malcontents and former columnists have started alternative rags to circumvent the perceived ethics or aesthetics.
"We cover DIY, underground punk rock," said Curran, who has been with the magazine since 1983. "I guess some people will get all uppity about it, 'Oh why won't you take this, or this, or that?'. To us it's because that's not what we want. Go start your own magazine."

9 Shocks Terror was a Cleveland hardcore band that toured and recorded for more than years.

MRR has been there through every stage of punk's anti-style and documented each one in its pages. The genre's visual language has always been an international collaboration, starting with the Ramones' debut platter in 1976, which effectively deflated the then-rampant deification of musicians. Roberta Bayley's shot of the band standing before a brick wall was as shocking as the record's shorter, louder, faster songs.
The vanguard of this style bounced back and forth between New York and London. English bands took the confrontational look of their peers and contorted it by shredding their clothes and coloring their hair. When records landed from abroad, American bands took this new image and appropriated the style once more.
The visual cliches of punk revolve around the postcard pastiche of England's 1977 or American hardcore's watershed 1982 scene. Historical reverence has become a unifying thread that ties disparate communities together, making widespread scenes instantly recognizable while adding their own embellishments.
"The Indonesian scene is more crusty, whereas the Russian scene is more '90s emo and hardcore and youth crew. Everyone has a different perspective on what punk or what hardcore is but then there are definitely connections," said coordinator Gibbon. "Making things happen in different ways because of where they live, but doing it because they have to do it."
Photo: Warkrime, by Larry Wolfley.
Bay Area band Warkrime has riled audiences with its confrontational attitude toward political ideologies and flippant use of derogatory terms.
Larry Wolfley was recently asked by producers of American Idiot: The Musical to provide photographs from Gilman Street to be projected during the show.
The media often stereotype punk as being violent, drug-fueled and nihilistic. And sometimes rightly so. Places and periods — early '80s East Coast hardcore and Orange County, California — have deservedly bad reputations for violence. London, New York and San Francisco have always been rife with drugs. But while celebrities of the scene are capitalizing on former notoriety in recent books and movies, MRR has always supported a more politicized form of anarchy.
"Rather than the fucking American Hardcore movie where people were like, 'Dude, everything was so crazy back then,'" Curran said. "Yeah, there was crazy stuff too but there was also stuff like a cool teenage band that plays bicycles. There was all kinds of things going on."
The early '90s saw the advent of a musical movement dubbed Riot Grrrl. This aggressively feminist movement abandoned punk's traditionally secretive stance and worked to subvert the media spotlight.
"I came up in that era where it was sort of a weird thing of using the media to get women into punk," said Gibbon, who was in the early-90s English band Skinned Teen. "Bikini Kill had this thing where they were like, 'Girls should rule towns,' so they wanted to appeal to every girl."
Efforts to engage the media in a constructive manner resulted in misunderstanding, misrepresentation and eventually a backlash. Magazines focused on bands' confrontational dismantling of sexuality to discuss femininity, abuse and rape. MRR interviewed the contentious band Bikini Kill and ran the complete transcript.
"The way that that was projected, it just sort of becomes another aesthetic, another image," Gibbon said. "Especially with the way that [Bikini Kill frontwoman] Kathleen Hannah was depicted in the media, as 'She's an angry stripper.' It just kind of reduces a complicated subject to a cypher rather than a complete person. You just become a cartoon."

Cheap cameras and an endless amount of exposures are fueling a flood of new images from around the world. The idea of community running through punk invites novices to the table while also informing the style of shots.
"They're all from the crowd. They're all fucking coming at you. I also love the ones that aren't bands, too," Curran, who also contributed a couple pictures, said. "Two kids sitting at the door of Gilman. Just looking snotty."

For the photography issue, Murrman put a call out over the internet asking people to submit shots of scenes from around the world. More than a thousand images came in response, from places as remote as Indonesia, Poland and Taiwan. A dream list of interviewees was drafted and requests sent across the States, South America and Europe.
One common snipe at punk is that it's white, male-dominated, and middle class. Prior to taking over as coordinator, Gibbon interviewed women for MRR who had been essentially written out of punk's history. Similarly the magazine focuses on the contributions of gay people and racial minorities to the scene.
"I see a lot of races, I see a lot of women –- not saying that was all affirmative action, either. Right now especially there is a lot of that in the scene," said Curran. "But I'm sure that on Mark's part he looked at this pile and thought, 'Are there enough women represented?'"
Photo: Human Eye, by Chris Anderson
Detroit band Human Eye has a penchant for constructing its own sci-fi masks and throwing fish heads around during shows.
Chicago-born Chris "Canderson" Anderson regularly contributes photos to the website Victim of Time.
Participants, from interviewees to the people who submitted images, are from the scene. None are being paid for the time they spend at shows or editing their shots. Murrman, who pursued journalism prior to becoming photo editor, started shooting as a hobby.
"I think that the community aspect comes out the most in the interviews," said volunteer Curran. "You see that these aren't people who are photographers at shows; these are punks at the shows who are good at taking pictures. They're not there as photographers. And that probably is a uniquely punk thing."

Columbus, Ohio's The Feelers raged around the world before crashing and burning at the end of the decade.
Brazilian Mateus Mondini makes up one-half of photozine Fodido e Xerocado.
The volume of content pouring in killed the idea of running large-format pictures, and instead, three-page variations for pictures were created by the zine's layout designer. Contributors with several shots would have dedicated space with the rest of the pages creating an international hodgepodge.

Toronto's Career Suicide has been touring the globe on the strength of its blistering hardcore assault.
German shooter Patrick Baclet just published a collection, Out of Vogue.
Maximum has amassed an impressive collection of photographs over its long existence. Reader-contributed scene reports are responsible for the bulk of the archive, but because of the magazine's focus on contemporary bands, the organization of the photos leaves much to be desired.
"It's five boxes of photos from fucking 25 years ago. That's it, that's the filing system," said Curran. "[Yohannan] was not an archivist, and I'm really amazed he even kept these photos. He just kind of threw things away willy-nilly."
Despite talk of publishing a proper photo book or making images available online, progress has stopped at a Monday photo blog. An archival site, Operation Phoenix, has made the magazine's first 50 issues available as PDFs.
Carrying on in print will require careful steps. Most major competitors of MRR have disappeared, but the empty playing field has not made life easier for the struggling magazine. Higher-quality covers to appeal to more retailers, pushing merchandise and accepting advertisements from corporations are current arguments to decide the fate of an enduring institution.
"I think that when the magazine has to compromise its values significantly it shouldn't exist," said Gibbon. "We have talked about the end times, but I'm optimistic and I think that we have a few more years of fraught existence before that's a reality."

According to an official blog post by Google Search Senior Vice President Amit Singhal, the company's Voice Search technology will soon be available for iOS devices, making the Google Search app a more direct rival to Apple's Siri.
Voice Search has been available on the Android platform for a few weeks. While existing versions of the iOS Google Search app already accept voice input for entering search terms, Voice Search improves on that.
For one thing, Voice Search can interpret natural-language search requests ("what will the weather be like tomorrow?") rather than forcing you to use Google-ese ("weather forecast San Francisco"). It can also take into account things like your location and the context of your search. So if you say, "Where's Spiderman playing?", it will in theory know you want to see local showtimes and tailor its results accordingly. In other words, it isn't as literal as Google Search's voice input is now.
Google says that Voice Search's cleverness is based in part on the company's Knowledge Graph, a ginormous database that connects billions of bits of information in relationships. So when you search for
Da Vinci on Google.com now, the search engine knows to include images of the Mona Lisa and his other paintings as well as biographies of other artists in its results. Voice Search apparently taps into that database to interpret voice requests intelligently.
The Siri comparisons are obvious. (We'll certainly be testing the two side-by-side as soon as Voice Search becomes available on the App Store.) Like Siri, Voice Search doesn't just accept voice input: It can also (much like Siri) speak its search results. But (as our pals at Ars Technica quickly pointed out) Voice Search will work on iPhone models (4 and earlier) that can't run Siri. And it just does search: Voice Search won't—as Siri does—incorporate apps, calendar appointments, and the like into its results.
In other Google search news, the company says it's testing a system to incorporate Gmail messages in its search results. Fortunately, it's only including messages from your inbox in those results; it won't be raiding anyone else's.

This event actually took place last weekend, but I hadn't caught wind of the story until one of the participants sent in some news clips of it. Hundreds of gun rights advocates gathered in Upstate New York to send a clear message to Albany, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Second Amendment proponents around the state that they would not be complying with the repressive SAFE Act. And to drive that message home, they brought along a barbecue grill.
Nearly a thousand gun registration forms were turned into ashes Sunday.
The forms are used for people to register with New York State Police firearms that meet the state's definition of military-style assault weapons. The deadline is April 15. Gun rights advocates gathered at the Saratoga-Wilton Elks Lodge 161 to burn the papers in a symbolic protest.
E.J. Stokes, leader of the Warren County chapter of New York Revolution, said he was participating because he believes in the U.S. Constitution.
"Once the Second (Amendment) falls, the rest will go with it. It's an unconstitutional law, done in the middle of the night with no input from the public," he said.
The event was organized by the NY2A Grassroots Coalition. NY2A co-founder Jake Palmateer said the goal is for people not to register their assault weapon as an act of civil disobedience.
"We are opposed to registration because the evidence is clear that registration leads to confiscation," he said.
He and others hope that so few people will fill out the forms, that the registry portion of the SAFE Act "collapses under its own weight."
The Examiner provided some interviews with others attending the event and they expressed the same concerns about registration and confiscation.
"We are demonstrating to New York state that we will not be registering our firearms with the state," said one protester tending the fire. "We refuse to register."
Lisa Donovan, one of those responsible for the event, said organizers were telling gun owners what their options are relative to the new law, and, she added, "we're also encouraging them to get more active in the political process so we can vote out the people who voted for the SAFE Act."
"We're basically explaining to people once they register, that gun is no longer theirs," she added. "It's a matter of time as to when the state will take it … It will be upon their death or when they change the law and decide to confiscate the guns that have been registered."
"A gun that's been registered can't be sold or anything so it really is no longer yours at that point, so there are legal options for not registering," Donovan said.
This being New York, the protesters are not dreaming up hypothetical future scenarios to worry about. The fact is that, since the passage of the SAFE Act, New York has been in the process of confiscating weapons around the state while staying under the media radar. This was a lesson which David Lewis learned all too well when armed officers showed up at his door one morning with a warrant, announcing that he could either surrender his guns or go to jail. The only reason that the Lewis case even made it into the local news was that they had the wrong guy and a court subsequently ordered his guns returned.
But there have been other, ongoing confiscations involving people who have neither been found guilty nor even accused of any crime. The nature of their "violation" was simply that they sought help from mental health professionals for problems ranging from anxiety to depression. If that sounds like science fiction, you haven't read the details in the new law.
The NY SAFE Act requires "mental health professionals, in the exercise of reasonable professional judgment, to report if an individual they are treating is likely to engage in conduct that will cause serious harm to him- or herself or others."
If such a determination is made, "the Division of Criminal Justice Services will determine whether the person possesses a firearms license and, if so, will notify the appropriate local licensing official, who must suspend the license. The person's firearms will then be removed."
In that context, it's not hard to understand why New York gun owners are not keen to fill out registration forms and put their names on some list held by the state government. Those lists already exist and are currently being put to use, with state troopers being dispatched to people's homes to collect their legally owned weapons even though they have been charged with no crime.
Of course, if you get all of your news from the national media, you won't hear about this. The silence is deafening.

Los Angeles: Attack of the Clones at Fusion Burgers
Fusion Burger
5933 York Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90042 (map); 323-257-8705; Facebook page
Cooking Method: Griddled
Short Order: A family of former Umami cooks opens a knock-off burger spot that serves up high quality burgers
Want Fries with That? Yes; solid fries if you need them, but go for homemade cheesy tots for a better fried spud
Prices: House Burger, $9, The Very Cheese and Bacon Burger, $10
It was only a matter of time. The meteoric rise of the Umami Burger empire meant imitators would pop up around Los Angeles. Sure, one could make the argument that we wouldn't have seen the likes of Stout or even Rounds without Umami, but those riffed on the idea of a high-end, burger-themed restaurant. What we have with Fusion Burgers is a full tilt knock off.
The folks behind this small burger bistro in the Highland Park section of Los Angeles do little to secrete the origins of their menu. The owners, Miguel Munoz, Sr. and Jr., are a father-son team who honed their burger cookery at the Santa Monica Umami location. Apparently there was something hinky in how these guys parted ways with Umami, but I'm not going to delve into whatever that might be about. What I will get into is their burgers. Not everyone thinks Fleischman is a burger Jedi, but I'd say he taught them well. I stopped by this (very new) restaurant for lunch and found a lot that was very familiar and very good.
The Munoz Family (daughter Betty is a server) has taken over a space that used to house Tacos El Michuacano and done little to change the feel of the dining room (think: taco joint) and a lot to change menu (think: burger!). This burger-centric menu is rather large and, well, rather familiar. They list thirteen different burger creations that are reminiscent of the the Umami menu. In fact, the menus and graphics in general ape their former employer's. As it turns out, so does their burger technique.
I started with the House Burger, which puts a seven(ish)-ounce patty on a Portuguese bun. The Munozes slather on some homemade Thousand Island, green leaf lettuce, oven-dried tomato, lardons, and beer cheddar cheese. The beef is a blend of of skirt steak and short rib from Lanza. The bun is from Artisan Crust, which, like Umami's, is a Portuguese bun (though Miguel, Jr. claims his is less sweet).
The burger is both visually and in flavor reminiscent of Umami. The Fusion version gets two things just about exactly right: the beef and the bun. The former is a beautifully coarse grind that is given a gentle touch when formed into a patty. It's griddled in a cast iron skillet at high heat, creating a truly great crust that gives way to a very juicy center. It seems they've foresworn the Asian kick in this patty as there was little beyond the rich beefiness in evidence when I tried it on its own. The bun was a spongy and held together beautifully. The proverbial (Portuguese) cat is out of the bag; Artisan Crust makes a fantastic bun.
The toppings were a bit overdone. The Thousand Island had good flavor, but the portioning was a little heavy handed. The lettuce was fine, but the oven-roasted tomato—a technique that ups the umami (small "u")—was a mushy and unwelcome. The cheese was flavorful and melts like a dream, but again, was a bit much. The lardons were a salty distraction.
Second up was The Very Cheese and Bacon Burger. For this the Fusion Burger's standard patty and bun get a heaping pile of lardons and fried onion, beer cheddar cheese, homemade ketchup, and Dijon mustard.
This one was a big miss for me. The basics of the burger were, once again, excellent. Beef was flavorful and crumbly; bun spongy and delightful. But all of that goodness gets lost under the mess of the toppings.
The fries were basic slim-cut, skin-on spuds that don't make much an argument on their own. They were sort of crispy and not terribly flavorful. That said, cover them in the very good homemade chili (worthy of a bowl unto itself) and some gooey cheese and they make much more sense.
I also tried the homemade Cheesy Tots and I'm so very glad I did. The exteriors were wonderfully crispy and the rough cut potato on the inside was turned smooth from the cooking. The cheese was almost unnecessary, but still, these are some of the best tots I've tried.
The Munoz Family clearly has the talent and training to make a very good burger restaurant. So many things about how they've put together this family project are great. Everyone there is unfailingly polite and pleasant. The food is high quality and in most phases well-executed. The big failing here is that they chose to so closely ape Umami. If they had taken inspiration from Fleischman rather than going with straight imitation there would be so much more to like about the place. Not only would it lose the knock-off vibe, but one imagines that simplifying the food would play to their strengths. When I was leaving Betty told me that they'd opened quickly for financial reasons and they'd be making changes in their first few months. I hold out hope.

Sharing is caring, and all the caring has resulted in an estimated 10 million people enjoying Netflix free of charge, piggybacking on the accounts of family members, friends, and foes. Now the streaming service has instated a family plan, which for $11.99 a month allows four users to stream at once on four individual devices. The standard $7.99/month account is said to limit streaming to just two devices at once. "Take a moment to imagine a family of four all sitting in different rooms of the house watching different shows on Netflix at the same time. A sad picture, but not necessarily a far-fetched one," HuffPo writes. "However, what's more likely is that Netflix is trying to squeeze a few more dollars out of subscribers who all know that they aren't supposed to be sharing their accounts with so many people." That's not all that's new with Netflix, though.
Other sundry Netflix updates offered on Monday:
• 3 million subscribers have recently signed up, bringing the global total to 36 million.
• Netflix is letting its current deal with Viacom expire at the end of May — meaning you could see a bunch of Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, and BET shows vanish from your Instant Queue. The company's "focus is on getting select content exclusively instead of trying to get as much programming as possible regardless of who else has it," Variety writes. "We are in discussions with them about licensing particular shows but have yet to conclude a deal," reads a statement from CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells. "With all the recently added fresh programming from Disney, Cartoon Network, Hasbro's The Hub and Dreamworks Animation, we have a great kids offering."
•Eli Roth's Hemlock Grove, an original series which launched on April 19, saw more first-weekend viewers than House of Cards, which was extremely popular.
• House of Cards brought in newbies and seems to have kept them: "Some investors worried that fans of actor Kevin Spacey or of the show's executive producer, David Fincher, who directed The Social Network, would take advantage of a free trial offer from Netflix to watch the political thriller — and then cancel. But Netflix said there was little of this sort of gaming, with fewer than 8,000 people canceling out of the millions of free trials in the quarter," the L.A. Times writes.
• Before House of Cards dropped, we wondered how we'd ever gauge its success or failure. We're still more or less in the dark there, but Reed Hastings is now on record saying the series made "a nice impact but a gentle impact."
• And yet, Hastings is talking about the possibility of eventually scaling up to twenty or more original series per year. "Long term, we believe the value of our original series in driving acquisition and retention improvements will be borne out as we add more seasons of already popular shows like House of Cards and further series," reads the company's new shareholders statement. "Harry Potter was not a phenomenon in book one, compared to later books in the series."

Physics (Concept)
physics, branch of science traditionally defined as the study of matter, energy, and the relation between them; it was called natural philosophy until the late 19th cent. and is still known by this name at a few universities. Physics is in some senses the oldest and most basic pure science; its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world. The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered branches that have split off from physics to become sciences in their own right. Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics.

Saturday night saw the publication of this column from CBS Sports' Gregg Doyel. I don't believe Gregg intended to be as insensitive as he comes across. I really don't. He appeared to be legitimately baffled by some of the fury he received after publication and that's the nicest thing I can say about the entire debacle.
Let's get to it. You're likely familiar with FJM's format, bold text is Gregg's unedited column with my interjections throughout.
Jerry Kill suffered his fourth seizure in 22 games as head coach of Minnesota on Saturday, raising a question that is awkward to ask about any grown man, much less one as kindly as Jerry Kill. And make no mistake, this is a kindly man. When he was coaching Southern Illinois, Kill started a foundation to help low-income patients fight cancer.
This is a worrisome start Gregg. Maybe don't ask your question. You could stop right now and walk away. You could write a nice article about all the wonderful work Coach Kill has done. Both of these seem like pretty good ideas.
But make no mistake about this, too: Jerry Kill's epilepsy is a major concern — and not just for Jerry Kill.
You're right! It's probably a concern for Jerry's family. I would expect his team and staff have also come to personally care for Jerry and find themselves concerned for him when he suffers epileptic seizures.
According to a tasteful article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Kill avoided calling his condition epilepsy for years. Turns out some people hear a word like "epilepsy" and start treating you differently: like you're disabled, like you can't do your job, like it's their place to conjecture wildly concerning your physical capabilities, mental faculties and ongoing health. Via the same article,
…one day in October, a fan ridiculed him over e-mail for staying in the public eye, despite his seizures. The email said, in part, 'We've got a freak coaching the Minnesota Gophers.'
Kill was furious.
As much as those words stun him, he kept thinking about the children with epilepsy he'd met the previous summer.
"If you're calling me a freak, what about these kids that go to school and have a seizure? What do kids say about them?" Kill said. "I decided maybe I need to quit hiding. Maybe I need to step up to the plate."
There will be people, maybe even most people who read this story, who will fall back on the default position that Kill is a grown man; if he wants to risk dying on the sideline — doing what he loves — that's his choice.
Correct. It's called patient autonomy and it's a major ethical concern in medicine, if not the major concern. If the public health isn't put at risk, people get to make their own decisions regarding their health and lives.
And you know what? In a vacuum, that's 100 percent correct. If Jerry Kill is OK with the risk to himself, who are any of us to tell him he's wrong? That's not our business.
More valid points. Although I'm a little concerned the phrase "in a vacuum" implies this isn't 100 percent true outside of a vacuum. It's always true Gregg. Always.
But this issue, and these seizures, aren't happening in a vacuum. They're happening on game day, often right there on the sideline. This is an issue that's bigger than Jerry Kill and the personal risks he's willing to assume. What about the risks everyone else assumes? What if he has a fatal seizure during a game, in full view of the stadium?
That's our business.
You have to be kidding me. It is not our business Gregg. I don't even know how to respond to this. "What about the risks everyone else assumes?" What risk? Witnessing a seizure? What level of public exposure would you allow people with epilepsy, Gregg? Can they walk their dog in the neighborhood? Individuals with severe, uncontrollable epilepsy symptoms aren't allowed to drive, since that would pose an actual risk to everyone else. Can they ride the bus? What about planes? Can you imagine those poor people who could potentially be forced to witness a seizure on a plane? How dare they put us through that.
And that seems to be a legitimate risk, given that Jerry Kill has suffered four seizures in 22 games. The math is pretty easy: Since being hired by Minnesota before the 2011 season, Kill has suffered a seizure every five or six games — and the frequency is increasing. He has suffered three seizures in the last 11 games, and was unable to finish two of them.
Well sure, the math is easy if you make grossly generalized assumptions from minimal data. Four seizures in 22 games. That's two years in college football. Four seizures in two years and you're prepared to say the frequency of his seizures is increasing because three of these seizures took place in the last year? Jesus. Coach Kill has declined to answer specific questions about the number of seizures he's suffered away from coaching and you know what, good for him. That's his business. No reason the public and media deserve those details. No reason at all.
This is a problem, and a heartbreaking problem at that. You think this is me, coldly and unsympathetically wondering if Jerry Kill should resign? Don't think that. This is me feeling terrible for a man who has devoted much of his life to football, and who reached the pinnacle of his profession in 2011 when he made it into the Big Ten as a head coach — and who is doing a great job. At Minnesota his teams have gone 3-9, then 6-7, and now 3-0 early in 2013.
No Gregg. I think this is you coldly, unsympathetically, incorrectly, inexplicably, and insensitively implying Jerry Kill should resign. Don't feel terrible for Jerry Kill, feel terrible for what you've written here. Feel terrible for your implication that a person diagnosed with epilepsy is placing a risk and burden on the public by existing.
Of course Jerry Kill doesn't want to resign. He wants to keep using his platform to raise money for low-income cancer patients, and to keep using his platform to raise awareness about epilepsy. He's a spokesman at the state and national levels, and he and his wife, Rebecca, are acting as hosts for a second annual epilepsy awareness game Oct. 26 vs. Nebraska.
Kill is doing good work for Minnesota football, and for epilepsy patients, and I'm thinking about that as I write this.
Then why keep writing?
But I'm also thinking about everyone else in the stadium the next time Kill has a seizure during a game, whether it's at home or on the road. People die from epileptic seizures. It's called Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), and according to EpilepsyFoundation.org it happens to about one in 1,000 epilepsy sufferers per year. But the odds go way up for people who, like Kill, have more frequent seizures — as high as one in 150 people.
I'm not a neurologist. I don't believe Gregg is either. I also kind of want to ignore this paragraph entirely because it really doesn't matter. It doesn't. Everything here could be true and apply to Coach Kill and every single one of Gregg's implications and conclusions would remain egregiously wrong.
I'm not going to totally ignore it though, because the substantial population of people with epilepsy deserves these facts to be publicly presented in proper context. Thank you to John Annegers and Sharon Pasternak Coen for authoring SUDEP: Overview of definitions and review of incidence data, an article I found in 30 seconds via Google. The following graph shows sudden unexpected deaths in the general population, the intractable (difficult to control) epileptic population, and the non-intractable epileptic population.
FYI, "per person-years" describes what you'd expect. One seizure in one person monitored for 2 years is 1 per 2 person-years. One seizure in two people monitored for 2 years is 1 per 4 person years. Per the study (emphasis mine), "General population rates of sudden deaths climb logarithmically from around 5/100 000 in young adults to about 300/100 000 in the elderly. The incidence of sudden death in young adults with intractable epilepsy is many times that of the general population, whereas in older age groups the relative increased incidence of SUDEP is small or perhaps nonexistent." Coach Kill is 52. We know that he's had at least 4 seizures in the last two years. We don't know his treatment plan. We don't know his medications. If we did know those details, we wouldn't know how to properly evaluate them because we're not Coach Kill's neurologist (or any neurologist). Even more importantly, it doesn't matter even the most miniscule amount if the statistics were as simple as Gregg stated.
Could Jerry Kill be that one in 150? Gosh I hope not. You hope nobody dies from epilepsy ever again, but denial doesn't do any good. People really do die every year from epileptic seizures, and Jerry Kill really does have multiple seizures every year, and his seizures really do seem to be increasing in frequency, exacerbated by the stress of coaching a Big Ten football team on game day.
This is beyond infuriating. It's damaging in its ignorance.
That's Jerry Kill's job. But should it be? I'm not asking for him. Apparently he's decided what's best for him, and that's his right.
But what about what's best for everyone else?
Who gets to make that decision?
You're the problem here Gregg. It's opinions like this that add to the burden and struggle of visible illness. As you said, Jerry Kill has reached a pinnacle of his profession, but more importantly he's a wonderful example to people with epilepsy and neurological conditions everywhere. While they're following his example, living fulfilling lives and excelling in jobs they clearly love, I deeply hope they can do so without running into people like you, asking the tough questions, like "what about the fans in the stadium?"

A Comparative Analysis on the Effect of the Chosen ILSes on Systems and Technical Services Staffing Models
This analysis compares how the traditional ILS and the next-generation ILS impact systems and technical services staffing models at academic libraries. The method used in this analysis is to select two categories of ILSes—two well-established traditional ILSes and three leading next-generation ILSes—and compare them by focusing on two aspects: (1) software architecture, and (2) workflows and functionality. The results of the analysis show that the next-generation ILS will have substantial implications for library systems and technical staffing models in particular, suggesting that library staffing models should be redesigned and key librarian and staff positions be redefined to meet the opportunities and challenges brought on by the next-generation ILS.

State of hotel investment in Africa: headwinds and opportunities
11 Jul 2016
Xander Nijnens, Senior Vice President, JLL Hotels and Hospitality Group, Sub-Saharan Africa
Hotel performance and investment sentiment across Africa has been mixed so far in 2016, with global uncertainty and resource price volatility impacting regional markets. There continue to be many high growth markets, yet the pace of demand growth is disparate across the continent. East Africa and South Africa have good demand fundamentals, while North Africa and West Africa have been impacted by instability and economic slowdown. As we meet for the Africa Hotel Investment Forum in West Africa, the outlook for hotel investment on the continent remains positive, yet volatile.
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to some of the fastest growing economies globally, with Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote D'Ivoire, Rwanda and Ghana at the head of the pack. East Africa in particular is seeing a maturation of the hotel sector with a high level of new supply coming into the market, introducing higher quality assets and new brands. This increased level of new supply in markets like Nairobi and Addis Ababa will cause short term oversupply and may lead to some distress of over-leveraged assets.
In the short term, we forecast improving liquidity of existing assets and for investment into new developments above $2 billion per annum. Capitalisation rates in Sub-Saharan Africa tend to range from 8% to 11%, while this increases to 12% and above in North Africa. With growing transaction volumes both in hotels and other real estate asset classes, we are likely to see a clearer market indication of pricing during the coming years. Target return on equity from hotel developments continue to range from 15% to 25%.
STR Global's latest pipeline report (May 2016) shows a 34% increase in rooms under construction in Africa at 30,737. Development continues to be challenging with the pipeline realisation rate across the continent continuing to be poor, yet we are seeing an improvement in this with numerous operators opening new hotels in 2016. As hotel development experience improves in the region we will see a reduction in the associated risk premium being sought by investors. High currency volatility across the region has caused challenges to investors in terms of inflation, rising lending rates and uncertainty in investment underwriting.
Of the hotel investment markets in Africa, we favour South Africa, Mauritius and primary cities in East Africa. From a sector perspective, we favour the mid-market, budget and serviced apartment segments over luxury and upper upscale. Despite the recent slowdown in Africa due to the cooling of the resource cycle, we are still seeing an increase in investors looking at the region for the first time. Many are still in a discovery phase and looking to make the numbers stack up, while others like Minor International and Quantum Global are actively transacting. Local private capital continues to be the primary driver of investment and we do not see this changing for the foreseeable future.
The completion of new developments, an increasing number of open market transactions, and the establishment of new investment platforms will see a further maturation of the African hotel sector in the short term. The long term fundamentals for hotel demand remain strong and the low levels of current supply should fuel investment appetite. So while there are regional headwinds, the momentum for hotel investment in Africa continues to be heading in the right direction.

Telegraph Test #1
by Jeffrey Stanley on Apr.09, 2016, under Pophood
Success. In-home telegraph, phase 1, complete. It's a project with my 5-year-old son. He explains.
A Hindu-Appalachian Christmas in the City of Brotherly Love
by Jeffrey Stanley on Dec.23, 2015, under Pophood, Shaheb Cafe, The Sixth Boro
A Shaheb's Guide to India
How a simple father-son craft project became a global, epic diorama
Five years ago this month my wife Bidisha and I got married a full Hindu wedding in India. Four years ago our son was born.
This past Thanksgiving while carving the turkey at our Philadelphia home I got to the bone that my granny from rural southwestern Virginia used to save and make into a turkey bone Santa sled decoration at Christmastime every so often. It's a morbid Appalachian thing, you wouldn't understand. In a fit of nostalgia I decided I'd give it a whirl and introduce my young son to a part of his cultural history.
To make sure I was really remembering correctly I Googled "turkey bone sled" and one of the first things that came up was someone's Pinterest page about turkey bone sleds with the header, "My granny made these." Yep, I was on the right track.
My son and I often do multi-stage, multi-day art projects so I told him we were going to embark on this "small" project. I'm thinking the whole thing will be five or six inches long with a couple of ceremonial reindeer pulling it but he insists that it be the full 9 reindeer, and that there be a full moon, and a Pleiades star cluster (the Seven Sisters), Aldebaran (the brightest star in the constellation Taurus and one of the bull's eyes), a small pine tree like the one we have in a planter outside our house, and our street sign, and snow on the ground, and hovering in the sky above Santa there should be Kartik. Without missing a beat I told him fine but that he'd need to design it on paper first so we'd know exactly what we were making and not leave anything out.
Kartik? That would be the Hindu god Kartik, less famous brother of Ganesh. Kartik is the Pete Best of major goddess Durga's children. I later learned it's impossible to find an altar figurine of just Kartik alone, so I convinced him instead to CONT'D at medium.com>>
