The only really tricky packages are glibc and bin-util. I don't try to install over those, but build LFS from a script. Takes about 2 1/2 hours on my box. For the BLFS packages, there is no comparable project. You need to keep an eye on the packages you use and upgrade as necessary. Remember, you don't have to upgrade to the latest release of every package. I'm sure there are a lot of folks still using version 2.2 of the kernel and kde version 1 and are quite satisfied. -- Bruce -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe blfs-support' in the subject header of the message

Comments about Womens R-Gear Run, Walk, Play Capri Pants:
I workout about 4-5 times a week and prefer to wear capri tights/workout pants during my runs/workouts etc. I have been searching far and wide for the "perfect" drywicking spandex-like summer pant that doesn't dig into your waist, sag below your belly, or squezze your butt into an unflattering watermelon. I have tried countless other brands which have been "ok" for me, but decided to give these a try. Alas, I ordered these in capri style and absolutely LOVE them. I'm 5'3" and usually wear zize 8-10 in jeans with a big derrier, so exercise pants usually puts me at a med-large. I ordered these in Med, and they fit perfect. In the picture they appear to be spandex, but are actually a heavier fabric, so I was a little skeptical doing a workout or 6 mile run in them. However, I was so surprised how breathable and lightweight they actually feel. The fabric does not take away from the comfort and they are extremely drywicking which is what I really look for in a product. I ordered these in gray, and my only drawback is if you are working out intensely more than 45min or and hour the crotch area does get someone sweaty, lol was a little self conscious on my treadmill runs, but defin was not a big problem with the drywick. For the most part I felt so cool and dry from the inside of the pants that I didn't really even know...I've never written a review for any itme, but I am so excited by these pants, will be ordering in black and the longer version for winter! Please don't ever stop making these!:)

All eyes are on Kristen now that the final installment of 'The Twilight Saga' has hit theaters. Will she do another movie, a TV show or take a break from the limelight? Kristen reveals her plan in a new interview.
The last five years of Kristen Stewart's life were planned out with a clear path — finishing The Twilight Saga. But now that Breaking Dawn Part 2 has hit theaters, Kristen's future is not so predictable.
"No, I'll be guided by my instincts," Kristen said when asked if she has a clear plan for success after Twilight.
Kristen's New Leading Man — Ben Affleck?
Kristen's instincts may lead her to a starring role in Ben Affleck's new movie Focus.
"I'm hesitant to get into casting stuff because I don't know what's finished or isn't because people come in and out of things all the time," Ben told E! News at the GQ Men of the Year party at Chateau Marmont. "But [Kristen's] terrific and hopefully it will work out."
According to Variety, Focus is the story of a veteran grifter who partners with a who's new to the life of conning. It was written by the creators of Crazy Stupid Love, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, and will be directed by them as well.
Kristen Moving Ahead With 'Cali' After Robert Pattinson Reconciliation?
Also in the pipeline for Kristen is Cali, a film that is holding out for the actress until she's ready to take on the new role. After Kristen cheated on Robert Pattinson, it was reported that the actress pulled out of the film due to her depression, but a source tells us that's not true.
A Cali insider tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that the film won't move on without Kristen, nor is it being scrapped. "Cali is being put on hold until Kristen feels ready," our insider reassures, adding, "No other actress will replace her as previously reported!"
'Snow White And The Huntsman 2′ Back On — Going Ahead?
In more affair-related news, a new report claims that Kristen will be back for the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, but Rupert will not be back as the director.
"The script has already been written and production will begin late next year," a source tells Radar Online. "However, Rupert Sanders definitely won't be a part of the project. Rupert didn't want to be a part of it to begin with because he is desperately still trying to save his marriage. The search is still on for a new director."
Rob, on the other hand, has a number of films lined up in the near future. He will be filming The Rover in January, a movie which has a western-esque premise. Hold On To Me and Queen Of The Desert will then follow.
What do YOU think Kristen should do next, HollywoodLifers? Which film are you most looking forward to?

@princess kiana – do you really think they would bad mouth her in public knowing that they are in the same industry and are looking for roles to. Stop it. Behind the scenes I'm sure they have nothing positive to say about her. Lets be clear, she was caught with a director that's married with kids.

How about laying (no pun intended) where it really belongs. Rupert Sanders is married with children; yes, Kristen may have been (or currently) is in a committed relationship, but not married. I don't hear to see anyone calling him 'tramp' or worse. His name does not appear everyday with any degratory remarks. How one-sided is the world? If you are going to critisize one, than why not the other.

Rob and Kristen both need to leave Hollywood for a while. When this staged scandal blew up in their fans faces and broke millions of hearts they dissapeared. When they both pop up again, they act like their fans don't exist. They both had chances to address fans on live TV but instead they talk about buying movie tickets, cinnamon toast crunch and keeping fans guessing about the movie they think their lives are. It's painfully obvious they don't care about the fans that made them what they are today. They haven't done anything to try and get back all the fans they both lost. They don't need to pour out their private lives to fans. They just need to publicly tell them they appreciate and care about their fans and they don't want them to go. It's that simple but I doubt it will ever happen. They don't deserve the careers their fans gave them. It's sad but true. They way they've ignored their fans through all this is inexcusable. I wonder how their parents feel about all of this? I'm a parent and if my kids were in this situation I'd be very disappointed with them right now. they're both too private to survive in Hollywood anyway. They should not be able to break millions of hearts and still have a movie career.

TO former fan, Kristen and Rob don't owe anyone anything, no one twisted your arm to be a fan,
get over it and leave them alone, they have a right to their privacy. They both have been nothing but patient, courteous and nice to their fans, neither one of them expected to be flung into super stardom. Get real, they didn't break millions of hearts on the flip side they have made everyone super happy with their Twilight films. Rob said he will not sell his personal life for money and Kristen is following his path.

I'm sorry but that's how I feel Tracy 123. Our hard earned money and love gave them their fortunes and careers. Please don't say they owe their fans nothing because they owe them everything. I never said they owed fans an explanation but they should tell their fans if they still want them or not. They do owe them atleast that. I think rob and Kristen staged the scandal and didn't care what they did to their fans. That's why I feel the way I do. If they don't want to deal with their fans anymore they should tell them because I think they would listen. They have underestimated their fans from day one. their fans would do anything they asked them to do no matter how painful.

Tracy, this woman has fans who follow her whatever she does, they look for excuses and even refuse to see the facts. Thats quiet dangerous, because Stewart shows no remorse, except that you can betray, lie and cheat without consequences. That doesn't work in real life and should be condemned. She made it into a circus apologizing in public , she wanted her fans to know her feelings so whatever you preach just shows that you are OK that an Actress is above any regular person who shows respect and Morals. There are so many very young Girls and thats what we want them to believe, that cheating lying and betrayal is the right thing to do. I hope you have no children because with your attitude their future is already scarred

Tracy123, I feel I need to explain how millions of hearts were broken by this scandal mess. I think this story will help. When my husband was 16 his dad took him to a philadelphia eagles fan event at vet stadium. He got in line to get the autograph of Jim Mcmahon, the quarterback at the time who always wore a bandana. There was a little boy in front of him around 10 years old. they were selling photos for him to sign but this little kid also had a bandana with him. When this little boy finally got up there with his photo he handed it over and said " you're my idol and I want to be just liek you when I grow up." McMahon signed the photo and handed it back to the kid. the little kid then handed him his bandana and asked if he could sign that too. He threw the bandana back to the kid and said I can't sign this. In that second it took to throw that bandana back at that poor kid he destroyed the image this boy had of him and broke his heart. He had tears running down his face and his dad did ball the jerk out but do you get my point now? When that cheating scandal hit it destroyed the image that most of Kristen's fans had of her and broke their hearts especially the younger fans. The heart is a fragile thing and it doesn't take much to break it. I hope that helps because even the fans that are making negative comments are only doing so because she broke their hearts and they're hurting because of it.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Jackie Winsor, a sculptor in abstract style born in Newfoundland, is the descendant of three hundred years of Canadian ships' captains and farmers. She and her family moved to Boston when she was an adolescent, and later she earned a M.F.A. in art at Douglass College of Rutgers University in 1967.
Winsor is known for her clear geometric figures. Officially her place is among the post-minimalists, but in her work, Jackie Winsor harks back to classical sculpture such as that of Constantin Brancusi. Her sculptures of rope, brick, saplings, and pine have a certain brute strength and power. Characteristic works are a half-dome of bricks set into cement, a bundle of trees wrapped around the middle with hemp (resembling a new form of haystack), a round coil of rope as thick as a truck tire, and a grid of criss-crossed saplings bound at the intersections with unraveled hemp. Often based on the sphere, the grid, or the cube, her pieces have a density, weight and tautness that grow out of the processes of wrapping and twining materials, or nailing boards in layers until they build up to an inevitable form.
In referring to her work 'Double Bound Circle' (1971, hemp), Winsor's heritage relating to the world of ships is evident in her comment "Rope of this thickness might be used to tie an ocean liner to its dock". She has said people may "relate to my sculptures the way you might relate to a sleeping person, to the potential energy that is manifested in a dormant state." In reference to her work, the artist has been quoted as saying, in "I'm just re-creating myself."
A retrospective of her work was held in Akron, Ohio, in 1992. The sculptures exhibited at the show offered the viewer an opportunity to see a large portion of her mature oeuvre. The twenty-five works in the show comprised approximately a third of her output, spanning a twenty-five-year time period. The cohesiveness of her work and thinking was immediately evident, assisted by the chronological layout within the six galleries used.
Winsor's work is well described by the statement she made during the informal dialogue with the museum director and the attending public:
"The center focus, it is the physical center, it pulls the energy in. It is not asymmetrical -- aim you over here, aim you over there -- the aim is always the center. It pulls you in, and I like that."
Her sculptures have evolved in that direction. The forms are simple: cylinder, sphere, cube, hemisphere, and pyramid. The materials are straightforward, common building materials: wood, cement, brick, sheet-rock, plywood, nails, rope, and paint. With the exception of the oldest piece in the show, Rope Trick (1967-68), the materials are used honestly and possess no structural, visual "tricks." There is a clarity to the relationship of materials that does not leave you questioning the how and why of the fabrication of the forms and leads directly to their more metaphysical properties.
Over time, her forms have become more and more singular. The works become less made up of parts and units and more unitary objects that draw your interest within.
Winsor talked about her interest in the interior space, a theme that runs the length of her work, and, outside of formalist considerations, may be perceived to be the subject she is most drawn to examine. Speaking of a piece comprised of logs bound with rope at the corners composing a large square, she said:
"When I made this piece the part that interested me... were a couple of parts: one is the restatement of the typical human scale, but, actually, my real interest was...here (gesturing to the open center of the square) -- with nothing taking place in.. this is like restating... the outer edge, so that makes the center O.K. and it's countered by forcing on you issues that you can leave your body.... It is a certain size, has like a strand of your hair, of size of your arm, the size of your butt, is sort of the proportions that your body is made with; but, actually, it's sort of empty space.... It's like we all have these bodies we carry around and we're very attentive to them and whatnot. But all you have to do is close your eyes and your body disappears and so the center area is this.... You close your eyes and it all goes away, the aqua space there, or black, as if something's going on inside, and of course, there isn't. It's like what's happening inside, right? and, basically, it's like... when you close your eyes -- nothing's happening there, but something always goes and pops up."
Almost all of Winsor's work since the early 1970s has interior space as an integral part. Usually there are windows or openings created by the fabrication or cutting into the form, which allows the forms to be looked into and through. This makes them appear visually lighter than they perhaps physically are. It is paradoxical that these singular forms, particularly the cubes, have a massive presence, but what most viewers are drawn to observe is the void inner space. The view through these windows provides some information: the structure and composition of the cube; a record of the labor-intensive layering, a history, if you will, of the cube; a sequence of materials, thoughts, previous lives; the original inside in contrast to whatever the outside has become; the true inside which is itself a negative cube -- nothing. So much of this work centers around the cube as a form because, Winsor says, she made a conscious decision to work within a format that was a given, knowing that change would take place, and by controlling the size and form, the change would have to take place where she was interested -- inside the form.
The reintroduction of the sphere into her work in the mid-1980s was still related to the cube. The size of the sphere was determined by the format of the cube -- the sphere was as large as was possible within the cube. In Blue Sphere (1985), the first one after the cubes, the windows are retained along the X, Y, and Z axes, and the interior is a cubic space. This work also signaled the beginning of works made entirely of cement and pigment, materials and processes (with the addition of gold leaf) that have continued to occupy Winsor.
Winsor's earliest works may be formally seen as cylinders, or cylinders combined with spheres. These sculptures are composed of hemp rope, or rope and logs. There is a density of concept here in that the rope may be seen as a cylinder, may be coiled into a cylinder, may be wrapped around joints of cylinders (logs) to form a sphere. The rope is made of cylindrical plies, with the plies composed of cylindrical strands, and so on. Winsor viewed all of this as an extension of drawing:
"Actually the interest in making/using these... I was a painter and I was really interested in drawing. The attraction to this particular material was twofold, one, that there always was lines in each little clump, in the twists, separate, you know, depending on the size rope, had anywhere between thirty and three hundred separate little strands, and those strands come together to make a larger version of each one of the individual ones, they all come together as a large version of it again... (sic). I think of all the lines coming together, and the other one says, you know, that as a painter... when I was in school we all painted from a model and you could walk around at the various kids in the class and over in one corner there'd be a fanciful kind of nude and over in this one there'd be a sinister-looking one and over in mine they'd always look like they were trying out for the Olympics. And it was always the muscularity of them and the kind of convexness of presence that interested me. So when I got around to using the rope it was the fact that those small units looked like biceps and they had a kind of visual muscularity in them."
This muscularity is evident in works using rope and wire units, but disappears with the smoothness of form when Winsor uses cement.
In some of her later pieces, the sphere is made by rounding off the cube with the negative area remaining cubic at first. Circle/Square (1987) is composed of a uniformly truncated sphere. The cuts occur along planes that describe the faces of the cube, as if the sphere existed inside a cube that is only in existence through the virtual planes of these circular truncations. Inset in each circular face are sequences of progressively smaller squares, which form an inverted, stepped pyramid, moving towards the interior of the sphere. The tenth square is open to reveal the interior space, which is appropriately cubic. These openings are at the center of the X, Y, and Z axes of the form. The interior projects warmly through the pyramidic openings because it is stained orange, in contrast to the rather pure gray/white cement of the exterior surface.
Her interest in the interior psychological void of human beings is constantly echoed in her forms. And looking towards the inside is encouraged by the use of openings -- "windows" as she refers to them in the exhibition video:
"Windows are endlessly inviting, they invite you even if you're not looking."
The materials that are commonly used to construct shelters become tools for the expression of ideas: fabrication, wear, catastrophe, reconfiguration, rebuilding, and internal analysis in the hands of Winsor. In her early works there seems to be an ordering of chaos; materials are bound together to form a whole. They are organic and rough. Binding is what glues together the different parts.
Her later works depends on cement and gravity. The reality of the weight of the bricks and cement create solid, dense forms.
Her early cubes are intensely fabricated with wood, nails, and in some cases, sheet-rock. But all of them have windows or pathways to the interior and through them. The later cubes have the residue of kinetic action: multiple paintings and the wear of being dragged; exploded and reassembled, remade; burned and having had the inside physical structure turned into the outside; built and unfolded so that the form becomes a relief, the inside becomes a flat surface.
The cement pieces have only the memory of the cube as the outer constraint of the form, color becoming part of the material, not paint resting on the surface. The organic essence of the earlier work almost disappears in the uniformity of material. A cleanliness of form subverts the evidence of the systemic units used in construction. The hand-built quality is less apparent in favor of a greater sense of wholeness. Seams are less obtrusive than when contrasting materials were used previously.
Winsor's wall pieces address the surface issue more directly. Reliefs project beyond the surface of the wall as well as into the space of the wall itself. They create space in the illusion of the solid, the body of the wall. Their forms are squares and cubes, or pyramids.
Jackie Winsor's work starts on the inside. It is significant that her sculptures retain the interior void out of which they were created. Her pieces are a series of actions which surround an empty space: progressive layers of life and meaning capturing a quiet internal place revealed in part, but, not entirely, by openings. You can see the inside, but you never see all of it. The simple recognizability of the exterior forms allows for contemplation on their inner resonance.
Jackie Winsor, is regarded by many as one of the current leading abstract sculptors working today with natural processes and materials.

.....and has become 100% contracted. Maywood to lay off all city employees, dismantle Police Department | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times Harden, Montana
They get rid of all city run services pushing them on the state while the politicians retain their power...if they really wanted to save money they should have eliminated the city as well and go back to the county running things
Marwood is 96.2% latin.. interesting. In a city of 27,000 it will save $164,000 or $7.00 per person... no beat cops here, no local fireman, who are invested in the city... bet there will be unintended consequences.. we shall see.
Leave race out of it Darryl. This has nothing to do with race. The freaking county controls most of the fire and police and EMS operations in the county already, this is nothing new down there. There will be beat cops, the contract for the deputies pays them and by default the county has to cover them no matter what. They already receive fire protection from the county from their Bell station, they have been receiving it for years. There is no actual consequences here other than the politicians living on borrowed time in city hall. The people are pissed, the police were corrupt and abusive, and the city's activities are so screwed up that having someone else without a stake in them oversee them could be the best thing to happen to the city.
There was no judgement, just commentary... The reality is that it is not being privatized, more like being regionalized... privatizing police and fire departments are folly.. All the rest is just idle rhetoric.
They should have just gotten rid of the city. That would have saved them a lot of money. You know... just... vaporize... the... entire... city?
You love to make broad statements and generalizations...yet another example here. I question whether you just focused on that number and the races of population and ignored the body of the article in the first place.
From the article: Interesting. FWIW the article DOES show a good sized demographic pie chart depicting this county as being 96.4% Latino.:confused2: I mean it is what it is if ykwim. The concept of contracted law enforcement bothers me on more than one level, even though they're supposedly coming from another city as opposed to Triple Canopy or whatever. Still I dunno; there's just a disturbing trend going on throughout the country.
It is what it is, take it or leave it.. find in interesting on two levels; that any one city could have such a high % of latino's and that city made this decision.. assuming of course that government is representative of the population... Did not ignore the article, it is not privatization.. it is at best regionalization. Drudge calls it privatization, if so that would denote some contractor like Xe, Wackenhut or other organization would assume the police responsibility..

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Rep. Sharon Cooper, R-Marietta, said the best way to promote change is to get involved -- a message she promotes in the second edition of her book "Taxpayers' Tea Party."
The book, which was first published in 1994 with an introduction by Rush Limbaugh, is a veritable how-to on how to become politically active and why it is important to do so.
Cooper said when she first wrote the book, she was upset and angry at the Clinton administration and its view on health care in 1992.
A nurse, Cooper said she was outraged at some of the proposed legislation that "just didn't make any sense."
Without a clue as to where to begin, the representative said she contacted her congressman and flew to Washington, D.C., to meet with him because "I didn't know he had an office here."
Eventually Cooper would go on to campaign for a seat in the House and was recently re-elected for her eighth term serving the 41st District of Georgia.
"My book is really about getting involved and how to do things like contact your representatives, write a letter to the editor and how to deal with our political system," she said. While the title "Taxpayers' Tea Party" might draw to mind the crowds of sign-toting protesters during the recent mid-term elections, Cooper said she wrote the book before the current tea party movement.
"I completely revised (the first edition), but this time I had the advantage of being an elected official so I know what it is like from both sides," she said. "(The book) has a Republican bent to it because I'm a Republican, but anyone can use its resources."
The book, which also contains political cartoons by cartoonist Chuck Asay, has a significant list of national political resources and contact information for each senator and representative.
Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said this in his introduction to Cooper's book:
"(Cooper's) book ... is once again needed and the citizen activism it represents is once again vital to getting America on the right track. I hope every tea party activist in America will take the time to read Sharon's book and share its insights with their fellow citizens. Together we can once again defeat the forces of big government and high taxes and get America on the right track to jobs, prosperity, safety and freedom."

"Simply put....Unbelievable! My computer is happy again :)"
Does what it says! Without causing any havoc...Found over 1500 problems within my registry....unbelievable but...fixed them and now all is good :) I was hesitant at first to just let the program delete all the problem children... but then after reading the great reviews I felt like I could trust all those errors to be fixed so I just clicked repair and WALLA...it was all good. :):):) I am a happy camper...Of coarse it was nice to now that I could set the program to create a system restore point, just in case. (a setting you can set up to automatically create when you do any registry cleaning...)
Wish there was a way to know exactly what the problem is and what the file is used for that is being deleted, like if it's a corrupt file what if anything do I need to do to replace it... But I think for the most part this program is only selecting files that are orphaned, so all is good. I may be wrong...but that's what it appears to be.

text: HomeTVBlush: The Search for the Next Great Make-Up Artist.Is Vanessa Marcil a Procter and Gamble Girl Now? Jamey Giddens October 3, 2008 Blush: The Search for the Next Great Make-Up Artist., General Hospital How's this for a soapy twist? Vanessa Marcil's upcoming Lifetime reality show Blush: The Search for the Next Great Makeup Artist was pitched by none other than Procter and Gamble's media arm MediaVest to promote P&G's Max Factor brand, according to Ad Age. The article goes on to talk about how aggressively P&G is moving into "branded content". Ummmm, haven't they had oh, say 70 years of success with that already with its soap operas? Remember them? Now before we go all conspiracy theory with thoughts of this being an elaborate smokescreen to get ABC Daytime's Most Anticipated Promotional Campaign—"The one star you thought would never be desperate enough to come back!"—in at As The World Turns as the next Chris Hughes (Hey, they've tried everyone else in the part.), it is fairly common place for P&G to sell their goods to various other networks and cable channels besides CBS. What continues to boggle my mind though, is how P&G is so willing to throw bad money after good in going to such great lengths to revitalize its other slumping brands, but it can't spare some extra change in a cup for its daytime soap lineup! This conglomerate gave Tag— the poorly selling body spray used by a handful of straight teen boys because they think it's what gay teen boys, I'm sorry, "Metrosexual teen boys" wear—it's own record label, but my poor Marj Dusay has to change into her evening gowns in a phone booth in the middle of downtown Peapack. I know! Maybe rapper/producer Jermaine Dupri, who is heading up Tag Records, can do a remix to Guiding Light's oh-so snazzy theme song "Love Can Save the World"? Ooooh, is this how it feels to be a P&G exec? I just got goose pimples in places I can't talk about amongst mixed company! Seriously, if Procter and Gamble can afford to spend money on new copycat reality shows and record labels, can't someone at P&G's corporate offices pick up a couch and shake out some loose change so that at least Ellen can afford to buy the cast of Guiding Light some electric heaters? It's about to be winter and I can't bear the thought of poor, little Marcy Rylan freezing her balls off! It just makes me want to fall out on the floor and cry.

A film about photography's transition from celluloid to digital capture and storage, with an emphasis on Kodachrome film. Read more
A film about photography's transition from celluloid to digital capture and storage, with an emphasis on Kodachrome film.
About this project
Prior to the end of Kodachrome processing in December 2010, I began this project as a call to my friends to shoot some of the last available film. The film was sent out to people all over the country (as well as travel overseas) and, in all, there were over 25 participants (all of which can be seen here: http://kodachromes.wordpress.com/). Once I sent them out, I decided that I had to somehow make the pilgrimage to Parsons, Kansas, to see the process for myself. Once I started collecting interviews, I realized there was much more to the story than just the passing of a film process...
How it Looks, How it Lasts is an in-progress film about photography past and present, along with what the future may hold. In the past, amateur film and home movies were often developed by film labs and the physical original was returned, either to be viewed and/or stored for future use, or perhaps misplaced and left to be found in thrift stores and estate sales. In either case, what was shot had a longevity based on its physicality alone. Pictures and movies may fade with time, but are often still discernible. Kodachrome, which this film focuses on, has a remarkable archival quality that rivals any other film stored in proper conditions. With digital media, the shelf life of an image or video is anywhere from infinite (from a utopian view of the Internet) to non-existent (a picture erased from a camera the moment after it's been captured). The film explores the similarities and key differences between film and digital, specifically their aesthetic and archival natures.
Funding from this campaign will help get me through the next phase of production. This includes going to California and Colorado for interviews and beginning to digitally transfer films on loan from archivists and collectors.
For other updates about the film, subscribe via email at http://kodachromes.wordpress.com/ or like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/how.it.lasts
The trailer above is culled from the interviews I have already shot for the film, including the VP of Dwayne's Photo, Grant Steinle; Todd Gustavson, the technology Curator at the George Eastman House; and Robert Shanebrook, a former manager at Kodak. These interviews took me from Dwayne's in Parsons, KS all the way to Rochester, NY. The clip below is from my follow up interview with Grant, almost a year after they ceased processing:

I have journeyed to the soul of chocolate and I bring you good tidings
Cold brewed coffee is a revelation of complex, bittersweet, intense flavor. Cold-brewed chocolate? Even better. (Holy. Crap.)
Read the restCold brewed coffee is a revelation of complex, bittersweet, intense flavor. Cold-brewed chocolate? Even better. (Holy. Crap.)
Read the rest
The chocolate bathtub, bidet, toilet, and sink in this $133,000 fixture collection will last for six months at room temperature or until eaten. At least they hide the dirt. Read the rest
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, chief creative officer for Serious Eats, delved very, very deep into the science of making the perfect chocolate chip cookie. He's got a very specific definition of "perfect" ("...Barely crisp around the edges with a buttery, toffee-like crunch that transitions into a chewy, moist center that bends like caramel, rich with butter and big pockets of melted chocolate... with crackly, craggy tops and the complex aroma of butterscotch...that elusive perfect balance between sweet and salty").
But the food science in his piece is deep and fascinating, and provides a kind of road-map for any definition of cookie-perfection. If you've ever wondered about the chemistry of eggs, sugars, flours, rising agents and butter, and how they interact with mixing, cooking, "resting" and cooling, this is pretty much the ultimate, definitive guide thereto. I also defy you to read this without developing a craving for chocolate chip cookies.
Read the rest
Boing Boing reader Stefan Jones shares a photo of the "Boing Boing Wake Up Cake" recipe from "internet chef" Tyler Capps.
"There's no better way to start the work week than a chocolate/coffee cheesecake with chocolate covered coffee beans on top," Stefan says. "I followed the 'Wakeup Cake' recipe from Boing Boing to make six of them for my co-workers."
Woohoo! We aren't kidding about the Boing Boing part.
In the matter of Ovation's Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Break-A-Part chocolate orange, however, I was gravely mistaken. It looked, smelled, and tasted just like the scented candles shelved unsettlingly nearby.
Four unicode turds out of five.
Elaine Wherry took a break from working in San Francisco high-tech startups to work at Dandelion Chocolate, the chocolate maker/cafe that her husband co-founded. She calls her tenure at the chocolate factory her life as "an oompa loompa," and in a fascinating post, she writes about the differences and similarities between working in data-driven startups and in physical, retail-based hard-goods business. It's a wonderful study in contrasts.
For loops are a veritable miracle — At the chocolate factory, something breaks every single flippin' day. Each morning I gave my evil eye to the roasters, melangers, temperers, wrapping machine, dishwasher, or anything with a screw, fuse, gear, glue, belt, or oil level and asked, "Okay, which one of you little buggers is going today?"In comparison, code brings tears to my eyes. If that for loop worked yesterday, then barring catastrophic hardware failures or someone checking in code they shouldn't, it'll likely work today. That type of, "if you don't touch it, it'll keep working" certainty seems divine. I've always loved the Web but I have renewed appreciation for redundancy, unit testing, and monitoring now.
A mechanical engineer (awesomely) named Anjan Contractor has won a NASA grant to prototype a 3D printer for food -- specifically pizza. It will lay down layers of food and flavor powder and melt them together; the powders are room-temperature stable for long periods and can be made from relatively abundant, sustainable foodstocks like insects and soylent green. He prototyped the concept with the 3D chocolate printer in the video above, and he holds out hope that food-printing could solve world hunger by allowing billions to feast on low-wastage, low-energy-input, low-carbon-footprint foods that are printed to order.
Contractor's printer is RepRap based, and is open source hardware; he promises to keep the plans open and free.
I suspect that there's a lot of nutritional subtleties lost when you turn food into processed elements that are recombined (in the same way that beta-carotene in carrots is reliably shown to have health benefits, while beta-carotene supplements are far more questionable). But as a form of food processing, it certainly is exciting!
Pizza is an obvious candidate for 3D printing because it can be printed in distinct layers, so it only requires the print head to extrude one substance at a time. Contractor's "pizza printer" is still at the conceptual stage, and he will begin building it within two weeks. It works by first "printing" a layer of dough, which is baked at the same time it's printed, by a heated plate at the bottom of the printer. Then it lays down a tomato base, "which is also stored in a powdered form, and then mixed with water and oil," says Contractor.
Finally, the pizza is topped with the delicious-sounding "protein layer," which could come from any source, including animals, milk or plants.

"Lindt Bunny Family," a photo shared in the Boing Boing Flickr pool by Paul J. "Leave them alone, and they multiply."
Fond as I am of white chocolate, mochas and Ghirardelli's Double Chocolate Premium Beverage Mix, their White Mocha Premium Beverage Mix sounded promising.
Drinking this stuff was a profoundly bad idea. Not bad in the way that drinking methanol is, but bad enough. The flavors, cloying and ersatz, offer only a vague impression of the concept. One wonders at the chemistry of what just happened in one's mouth. Somewhere in its undisclosed inventory of natural and artificial flavors is "white mocha"; one may as well throw Sunday evening's last forlorn Walmart Celebrations Center cake into a blender with some coffee.

French DJ/producer Breakbot recently released a limited version of his album "By Your Side" pressed in chocolate. Yes, you can play it. Amazingly, sugar-and-chocolate records have been produced since at least 1905!
Jason sez, "A follow up to last years insanely popular Chocolate Cthulhu Idol comes the Giant Chocolate Cthulhu Idol. Standing 7.5 inches tall and weighing a sanity shattering 2 lbs, this solid green chocolate treat is a must have for the devoted cultist."
(Thanks, Jason!)
Americans rejoice! Chocolatier Paul A Young's chocopornoholic recipe book Adventures with Chocolate is out in the USA, in mouth watering goodness. I reviewed the book in 2009 when it was released in 2009, and for those who've missed it, I've included it below. Paul was good enough to supply some images from the book for an accompanying gallery as well. This is my favorite chocolate in the world, and the recipe book is pretty much edibly good.
Adventures with Chocolate: 80 sensational recipe is chocolate genius Paul A. Young's first foray into cook-books, and, like his wonderful shops in London, it's playful, inspiring, delicious and surprising.
Young's gifted touch with truffles, brownies and drinking chocolate have made his Islington store a fixture in our orbit around London. My wife's pregnancy was eased with his sea-salt caramels; we celebrated the birth with kalamansi truffles. The baby practically melted when she first tried a crumb of his cherry brownie. I am visited by Paul's chocolate in my dreams. I have been conditioned to start salivating when I reach the end of Camden Passage, and by the time I reach the shop, I need a bib to catch the dribble.
And here are all of Paul's secrets, laid bare in a superbly designed and printed book whose pornographically chocolated pages make you want to surreptitiously taste them (I tasted them. Tasted like clay-coated heavy paper stock). Paul's recipes are easy to follow and are equal parts inspirational (he makes it clear enough that even ham-fisted me believes that I can make them) and aspirational (in reality, it's a lot more likely that I'll just pop in on the Camden Passage shop and buy another box). And his essay on how he became a chocolatier, as well as his essays on buying and preparing chocolate, are sensational.
And truth be told, there are some recipes here I'd like to try for a special occasion: the savory chocolate recipes, if only because Paul doesn't actually sell these in the shop and I want to find out what a honey-cured bacon, Stilton and chocolate sandwich tastes like, or sip some cocoa-bean infused vodka, or try a salted black-olive bar with 600g of Ghanian tempered 68% dark chocolate.

It seems that Kesha - the ultimate power partier as we know her - has really refined herself as of recent. With recent red carpet appearances and a new gig as a panelist on ABC's Rising Star, we're seeing a fresh style that combines her signature daring ways with a softer, more delicate vibe.
The wild-child recording artist has been wearing a lot of lace and floral motifs, often coordinated with her pastel-coloured locks. This seems to be an equation very appropriate for a summer festival - especially the cotton candy hair! If anyone else is digging her new look, check out Rising Star on Sundays to find out what inspiration Kesha throws at us next!

The model of health care?
Friday, December 27, 2013
Anthem: n. a song or hymn of praise or gladness.
What does the CEO of a health insurance company do to merit a 51% pay raise — during the biggest recession since the great depression of the 1930's? Anthem made health care less affordable and less accessible for individuals and businesses struggling during the recession. Anthem did not improve health care. In fact, Anthem didn't even provide health care. People who have Anthem health insurance are among the healthiest and wealthiest Americans; after all, you can't get health insurance if you can't afford it or have a pre-existing condition. She "merited" a pay raise because Anthem made a profit during the recession by collecting more money from its customers than it paid out in benefits. That represents the successful model of health care touted by the private insurance advocates.
Shouldn't we have a health care system that rewards leaders who actually improve health care? Don't we want a health care system that prevents high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, cancer and cardiac disease? We should give raises to the health care insurers who make care more accessible and more affordable.
We need a national discussion about health care. Heck, I'll even take a state or local discussion. We need to look beyond the ACA at what really matters in health care. It's time to make a list of those qualities that improves health, improves accessibility and lowers the cost of care. We need to be honest with ourselves and our neighbors and keep all our options on the table. Then, we need the courage to change the status quo to make it work. Now that deserves an anthem. |

Capitol briefs
Early voting begins Friday
Early voting for Tuesday's primary runoff begins Friday at county election boards. Registered voters who want to avoid lines or will be out of town for the election can vote in person by absentee ballot Friday, Saturday or Monday. Voters taking advantage of in-person absentee voting must cast ballots at the county election board from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, or 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday. There is not a statewide runoff race for either political party. Election officials suggest voters contact their county election boards before voting to make sure an election is scheduled in their precinct. Runoff elections for federal, state or county offices will occur in 41 of the state's 77 counties, and 19 counties will have only local elections on the ballot. Oklahoma has a closed primary election system, meaning only registered voters of a political party can vote in the runoff primary election.
Governor invites kids to mansion
Septemberfest, a free family event, is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Governor's Mansion, 820 NE 23. Activities also take place across the street at the Oklahoma History Center. "An Oklahoma fall favorite, Septemberfest is a great way to spend time with the whole family," said Gov. Mary Fallin, who hosts the event with first gentleman Wade Christensen. Sponsored by Friends of the Mansion, Septemberfest is a celebration of all things Oklahoma, including arts, children's activities, interactive exhibits, live entertainment and storytelling. Among the attractions are historic re-enactments, agricultural activities and a wide range of Oklahoma performers. Tours will be offered.

McLeish eyes Djourou stay
05 Dec 2007 - 07:36:44
Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish remains hopeful of being able to keep loan defender Johan Djourou at the club until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old Switzerland international has impressed since joining the Blues at the start of the season, but may be recalled by parent club Arsenal in the New Year.
McLeish said: "Will I try and keep Djourou for the season? I would think that would be a target we would try and achieve.
"I know Arsene Wenger is mindful of the fact Kolo Toure is needed for the African Nations Cup. It is an obstacle we will have to try and overcome.
"But if we can't do that, we will have to try and look for someone else because we are a little bit light in that department of the team.
"I would like to bring in trusted players, there is no doubt about that. It just depends if the target is available or if we can afford the target.
"There is no doubt I would like to bring in players I have worked with or players I have seen that I would like to work with. We definitely have things down on paper."

Mathematicians Predict the Future With Data From the Past

Waves of Violence
What Turchin and his colleagues have found is a pattern of social instability. It applies to all agrarian states for which records are available, including Ancient Rome, Dynastic China, Medieval England, France, Russia, and, yes, the United States. Basically, the data shows 100 year waves of instability, and superimposed on each wave — which Turchin calls the "Secular Cycle" — there's typically an additional 50-year cycle of widespread political violence. The 50-year cycles aren't universal — they don't appear in China, for instance. But they do appear in the United States.
The 100-year Secular Cycles, Turchin believes, are caused by longer-term demographic trends. They occur when a population grows beyond its capacity to be productive, resulting in falling wages, a disproportionately large number of young people in the population, and increased state spending deficits. But there's a more important factor, one that better predicts instability than population growth. Turchin calls it "elite overproduction." This refers to a growing class of elites who are competing for a limited number of elite positions, such as political appointments. These conflicts, Turchin says, can destabilize the state.
Many of these issues persist in industrial societies. Although population growth is no longer likely to result in mass starvation, it can push the supply of labor beyond demand, leading to increased unemployment.
Then you have the 50-year cycles of violence. Turchin describes these as the building up and then the release of pressure. Each time, social inequality creeps up over the decades, then reaches a breaking point. Reforms are made, but over time, those reforms are reversed, leading back to a state of increasing social inequality. The graph above shows how regular these spikes are — though there's one missing in the early 19th century, which Turchin attributes to the relative prosperity that characterized the time.
He also notes that the severity of the spikes can vary depending on how governments respond to the problem. Turchin says that the United States was in a pre-revolutionary state in the 1910s, but there was a steep drop-off in violence after the 1920s because of the progressive era. The governing class made decisions to reign in corporations and allowed workers to air grievances. These policies reduced the pressure, he says, and prevented revolution. The United Kingdom was also able to avoid revolution through reforms in the 19th century, according to Turchin. But the most common way for these things to resolve themselves is through violence.
Turchin takes pains to emphasize that the cycles are not the result of iron-clad rules of history, but of feedback loops — just like in ecology. "In a predator-prey cycle, such as mice and weasels or hares and lynx, the reason why populations go through periodic booms and busts has nothing to do with any external clocks," he writes. "As mice become abundant, weasels breed like crazy and multiply. Then they eat down most of the mice and starve to death themselves, at which point the few surviving mice begin breeding like crazy and the cycle repeats."
There are competing theories as well. A group of researchers at the New England Complex Systems Institute — who practice a discipline called econophysics — have built their own model of political violence and concluded that one simple variable is sufficient to predict instability: food prices. In a paper titled "The Food Crises and Political Instability in North Africa and the Middle East," they explain that although many other grievances may be aired once the violence begins, the cost of food is the primary trigger. They make a similarly grim prediction: large-scale riots over food, beginning around October of this year.
Into the Dark Archives
Much has been made of machine learning algorithms and software such as Hadoop and how they're used to mine the enormous amounts of data generated by the average internet user, but cliodynamics shows that we can find just as much value in "dark archives" — the mounds of non-digitized records that we don't realize contain useful data. Quantitative biologist Samuel Arbesman calls this "long data," and he urges the world to take a closer look.
Arbesman says that many traditional historians are beginning to embrace Turchin's practices, opening up opportunities for academics in the humanities to collaborate with mathematicians and economists. But he adds that academics aren't the only ones who can benefit from dark archives brought online. Even businesses, he says, can mine such data.
Some businesses, explains says, have been around for hundreds of years, changing with the times. IBM was founded in 1911 and originally sold tabulating machines. Nintendo started out in 1889 as as a playing card company. The construction company Kongō Gumi existed for over 1,400 years.
Their future, he says, can benefit from their past.

Kirk Cousins surprised he's in D.C.
Kirk Cousins was surprised to be drafted by the Washington Redskins after the team had picked quarterback Robert Griffin III with the No. 2 overall pick. But Cousins said Monday that he's competing with RG3, not against the Heisman Trophy winner.
Fox: Redskins Create Controversy
In drafting RG3 and Kirk Cousins, Washington has traded in one quarterback controversy for another, Ashley Fox writes. Story
• Brandt: Pick a head-scratcher
• Stats & Info: Surprising pick
"I think it's very important that for Robert, myself, for the Redskins as a whole that we handle this thing the right way," Cousins said Monday in an interview with "The Dan Patrick Show."
"I was involved in a couple of quarterback competitions in college so this isn't my first time being around the situation like this. I think the important thing to note is that we're not competing against one another, we're competing with one another, and we're competing with one another to help the Redskins win football games. Who we're really competing against are the Giants and the Eagles and the Cowboys and the rest of the NFL. That's where our focus should be as far as competing."
The Redskins picked Griffin with the No. 2 overall pick to be their franchise quarterback and already had re-signed veteran Rex Grossman to back him up. But Washington surprised many, including Cousins, when it selected the former Michigan State quarterback in the fourth round.
"I'll be the first one to say it was a surprising pick to me, as well," Cousins said in the radio interview. "But Coach (Mike) Shanahan was in San Francisco with Joe Montana and Steve Young, so he's not new to this and I know he's gonna do all he can to make it work. My job is to help the Redskins win football games, however that may be. I'm going to keep an open mind.
"I know my opportunity will come sooner or later and the way the NFL works, your window of opportunity is very small, but when you get that opportunity you have to make the most of it. I know mine's gonna come at some point, I just gotta be ready when it does."
Washington was the first team to select two quarterbacks in the first four rounds since Green Bay in 1989. The last time the Redskins chose a quarterback in the top 10 before Griffin was in 1994 when they took Heath Shuler. He eventually was beaten out by Gus Frerotte, whom the Redskins took in the seventh round.
