Summary of reading: April – June 2014June 29th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
- "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" by William B. Irvine – An overview of Stoicism, one of the ancient Greece's schools of philosophy. It's interesting to draw parallels between it and modern "self help" approaches. Even more interestingly, it's an important lesson to keep in mind that people more than 2000 years ago were concerned about very similar things as today, and came up with very similar solutions. I can't say I liked how the book itself was written, but Stoicism is definitely interesting.
- "Mastery" by Robert Greene – The author explores what it takes to become a master in some profession/craft, and provides mini-biographies of a number of successful historical figures, such as Mozart or Benjamin Franklin. While the biographical parts are pretty interesting, I found the thesis overall not too insightful. Greene tries to demonstrate that mastery comes from practice rather than inborn talent, but his biographical examples mostly show the opposite, it seems to me. That said, the book isn't bad all in all. A particularly positive mention goes to the chapter about social intelligence which is pretty good.
- "The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle" by Jim Rohn – not what I expected :-/ This book is a brief rehash of common self-help slogans, without a lot of substance.
- "Got Fight?" by Forrest Griffin – extremely funny and extremely politically incorrect. Don't expect too much real advice from this book – mainly jokes and anecdotes. I've actually liked the last part of the book, where Griffin shows "tips" for actual MMA moves and techniques the least useful. You can't really learn martial arts from a book… If you're up for a quick read and a good laugh, though, this book will certainly deliver.
- "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" by Robert Atkins – The new edition of the classic book that launched the low-carb diet revolution. My expectations weren't high here, and I was mainly looking for a more practical complement to Gary Taubes's books, which explain why refined carbs are bad very well, but don't give much in terms of practical advice of how to eat. While Atkins easily hits all the check-points of a sleazy self-help book, in terms of practical advice and todo-s it's not bad. It provides reasonably detailed paths to weight loss and maintenance using a ultra low-carb diet, as well as helpful advice in terms of what foods to use to achieve it. One thing that really bugs me about the book, though, is that its claims of "no caloric restrictions" are disingenuous. On one hand the author says you don't have to count calories at all when limiting carbs; on the other hand, he uses every opportunity to mention that all meals should be small. The "recommended daily menus" at the end of the book are very ascetic indeed. I'd say that it you eat three small meals a day, and your only snack in between is cantaloupe, that's a diet any way you want to call it, because it will be very low calorie too.
- "Two Scoops of Django: Best Practices For Django 1.6" by Daniel Greenfeld and Audrey Roy – with the surging popularity of Python for web development, and Django being its most widely used framework, this book fills a needed niche. The Django documentation is known for its high quality, but after having gone through it and having built a few simple applications, one may wonder about some of the more advanced techniques used by experienced Django developers. "Two Scoops" aims to provide a wide overview of such techniques. It has a lot of useful information, which can only be fully appreciated when you intend to apply it to a real project. An interesting fact about this book is that it's self published – while the efforts of the authors with this aspect are admirable, the quality leaves something to be desired (both proofreading and in general the way the content is laid out graphically). That said, I've seen lower-quality books from established publishers, so this may not mean much.
- "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells (Audiobook) – A very light and entertaining read. The audio recording available for free on Librivox is outstanding.
- "Winter of the World" by Ken Follett – Second part of the trilogy, and also very good. The only thing that really bothered me is how involved the main characters are in the key historic events around World War II. I think the author went a bit overboard on this one. I realize it would be difficult to describe these events with the same amount of intimacy, but he did succeed in one of the cases. For example, Greg was a secret service supervisor on the Manhattan project – he didn't have to be one of the scientists in it. A similar role could be carved for the other characters, putting them a bit away from the lime-lights. In general though, it's a very good book.

Statik Selektah - Something Special
Artist: Statik Selektah
Featuring: Termanology
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: Extended Play
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 7 total votes )
East Coast producer Statik Selektah has released numerous cuts with fellow 1982 crew member Termanology, but he hasn't whipped up Something Special of his own in quite awhile. Enter Something Special, which also happens to feature fellow Bostonian Termanology and will serve as the first cut from Statik's forthcoming solo album, Extended Play. In addition to his other half from 1982, the producer recruits Massachusetts spitter Ea$y Money, both of whom provide boastful guest verses. Statik keeps the production pretty close to his sonic vest, while also adding a number of unexpected elements to Something Special including a sample from 50 Cent's She Wants It. A release date has yet to be announced for the beatsmith's Extended Play album, but we will be sure to update you when that time comes.

Odlanier Solis vs. Leif Larsen on October 12th
By Marcus Richardson: Former 2004 Olympic heavyweight gold medalist for Cuba Odlanier Solis (18-1, 12 KO's) will be fighting 37-year-old unbeaten Norwegian heavyweight Leif Larsen (16-0, 13 KO's) on October 12th at the Madrid Arena, in Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain in a scheduled 10 round bout. The 6'4″ Larsen played professional football with the Buffalo Bills from 2000 to 2001. He's been a pro boxer since 2003, but failed to fight 2008 and 2009.
Before he faces Larsen, Solis, 32, has an eight round fight scheduled on September 14th against Erkan Teper (8-0, 6 KO"s) at the Tabea-Areal, Halle an der Saale, Sachsen, Germany. This will be Solis' second tune-up fight after tearing up his right knee in a 1st round knockout loss to WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in March of last year.
One of Solis' problems since turning pro in 2007 is his weight. Although only 6'1 1/2″, Solis has fought much of his career between 250 and 270 pounds, and the weight could have been a factor in Solis blowing out his knee. He's put on a great deal of weight since his amateur days when Solis fought at 200 lbs. You can understand Solis putting on a little weight after turning pro, but 50 to 70 lbs is just an incredible amount of weight to slap on.
The fact that Solis is still a fast heavyweight with a lot of talent just shows you how good he was as amateur. For him to be able to still fight at a high level despite caring around all that extra weight is just a credit to how good he was. However, it's too badly that he can't trim off 30 to 50 pounds and fight in the low 220s because he would be such a good heavyweight.
Solis will probably destroy Larsen with no problems in October, and and of course take care of the inexperienced Teper on September 15th. But Solis is going to have to get his weight under control if he wants to beat the better fighters in the heavyweight division.

Sundays with Seth: Farts, the Worst April Fool's Gag of All Time and More Farts
by Jason Hughes, posted Apr 12th 2010 4:53AM
I don't know if you've heard. But, apparently, the bird is the word.
'Family Guy' snuck in a nice callback to the season seven episode, 'I Dream of Jesus,' when Peter burst out with "Surfin' Bird." We got just a taste of Peter's classic dance and performance, but it was enough to bring back the laughs from that excellent episode.
Luckily, the night didn't need to rest on its past glories, as Seth MacFarlane returned to Sunday night dominance. With the failure of 'Sons of Tucson,' FOX dusted off 'American Dad' and brought the series back early to pinch-hit with new episodes. While 'Family Guy' didn't bring us the promised crossover event -- that was apparently an April Fool's joke on us -- they did play the cruelest joke you could imagine on their cast: they told them all they were going to die.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has come under fire on talk-back radio from Australian voters concerned last week's budget will damage their quality of life.
And then there were three: Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Macquarie Group Ltd. are sticking to bets the Reserve Bank of Australia will resume lowering interest rates as others ditch their rate-cut calls.
Australian consumer confidence fell to its lowest level since August 2011, prior to the central bank's most recent easing cycle, after the government's budget flagged spending cuts and a new tax on high-income earners.
Bill Evans, Westpac Banking Corp.'s chief economist and the first to call the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest easing cycle, has dropped his prediction of further interest-rate cuts as the labor market strengthens.
Three of Australia's foremost market economists -- with a century of experience between them -- are defying their peers and traders' bets by predicting the central bank will be forced to resume cutting interest rates.
Bill Evans, chief economist at Westpac Banking Corp., was Australia's loneliest forecaster four weeks ago as the first to predict an interest-rate cut.
Australia's dollar rose against all but one of its major peers after Westpac Banking Corp. dropped its forecast for further Reserve Bank rate cuts this year.
Australia's unemployment rate unexpectedly fell in March, sending the Aussie to a 4 1/2 month high as traders added to bets on an interest-rate increase.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Westpac Banking Corp. pushed back their forecasts for when Australia's central bank will lower interest rates, with the strongest inflation in two years offsetting rising joblessness.
AMP Capital Australian Corporate Bond Fund, which outperformed its peers over the past decade, prefers U.S. and European banks to the South Pacific nation's lenders on improving economic prospects in those two regions.
"The sharp fall in the index is clearly indicating an unfavorable response to the recent federal budget."
- Bill Evans on May 20, 2014

'The Outpost': in Afghanistan, defending the indefensible
"The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor" by Jake Tapper, senior White House correspondent for ABC News, is meticulously researched, excellently written and a must-read about our troops in Afghanistan.
Special to The Seattle Times
'The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor'
by Jake Tapper
Little, Brown, 688 pp., $28.99
"The Outpost" carries with it a sense of déjà vu. There are echoes here of Sebastian Junger's book "War" (and its associated documentary, "Restrepo"), about soldiers billeted in Afghanistan's dangerous Korengal Valley; like them, the troops of "The Outpost" are stationed in a perilous area surrounded by insurgents.
As in several other recent books — for example, last year's "Lions of Kandahar" — "The Outpost" also is filled with stories of brave, dedicated, intelligent young Americans put in untenable positions by leaders who at best seem stupid and at worst uncaring.
That is not to say that this is an unimportant book; on the contrary, it may prove one of the most important of the year. By Jake Tapper, senior White House correspondent for ABC News, the book is meticulously researched, excellently written and a must-read for everyone who does more than just mouth the phrase,"I support the troops."
In the summer of 2006, in Nuristan Province, hard by the Pakistan border, the army set up what came to be called (after an officer who died there) Combat Outpost Keating. It was in a deep valley, surrounded on three sides by steep mountains. It was essentially indefensible.
Worse, the logic for putting American soldiers at risk there was flawed. Supposedly, it was to seal that portion of the border, but as often as not, the mujahedeen simply avoided American troops.
Another rationale for the outpost's placement was that Keating was near a road. In fact, the road was impassible for all but the smallest vehicles and was in fact where Lt. Keating died trying to get a larger truck through.
It's easy to go on and on about some of the seemingly inane decisions usually made by senior commanders or politicians. The outpost was so isolated it was difficult to get reinforcements or support there. With the pols concentrating on Iraq, there weren't enough helicopters, planes or other resources to provide proper support.
The mission to build bridges (literally and figuratively) with and for the locals was a sham. The largely primitive locals didn't want them, because bridges and roads brought the tax man and "modernizers from Kabul to instruct them on how to treat their women."
I could go on and on about the Kafka-esque absurdity of Camp Keating, but "The Outpost" is about much more than that. It is about soldiers who believed they'd "be killed the next time [they] rolled out of the gate — or if not killed at least wounded in a way that will forever make life a miserable challenge" — yet go out and do their duty every day.
On Oct. 3, 2009, the roughly 50 soldiers there were attacked by an overwhelming force. Eight died, 10 were wounded and more than 100 enemy troops were killed. Shortly thereafter the base was abandoned.

Zion National Park Announces Schedule of 2013 Climbing Closures
Contact: Alyssa Baltrus, 435-772-0160
Contact: Cassie Waters, 435-772-0212
Climbing routes on cliffs used by nesting Peregrine Falcons in Zion National Park will be temporarily closed beginning March 1, 2013, in order to protect the nesting success of this bird which is in recovery from "endangered species" status. The closing date is based on analysis of information collected from 2001-2012 regarding the peregrines' arrival time to their nesting cliffs in the park.
Park biologists will monitor the nesting activity of Peregrine Falcons in the park throughout the 2013 breeding season. Cliffs that have been closed but are not being used by nesting peregrines this year, will be reopened when nest sites have been determined, typically by late April or early May. Those cliffs being used this year will be monitored until the chicks fledge, usually in late July, and then will be reopened to climbing.
Zion National Park is home to a high concentration of breeding Peregrine Falcons each spring and summer. These magnificent birds of prey were listed as an "endangered species" in 1970 under the Endangered Species Act. Their decline was primarily due to pesticides like DDT, which caused the female to lay thin-shelled eggs that were easily broken, killing the developing embryo inside. Thanks to the U.S. ban on DDT in 1972, as well as the success of captive breeding programs, peregrine populations have recovered across North America and the species was delisted in 1999. Zion National Park has been and continues to be an important sanctuary for peregrines and other species. Even when peregrine populations were plummeting elsewhere, they continued to successfully nest and raise their young on the tall cliffs found in the park.
For up-to-date information on the status and maps of the closed climbing cliffs, please check the Zion National Park website at www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/climbing.htm.
Climbers are responsible for checking the specific maps of the closed areas. The website will be continuously updated as cliffs are reopened.

What about the annual pass? I signed up for that and I'm thinking that might be it. I know PayPal supports monthly automatic payments like a CC (and hell, I even have the PayPal debit card so I could still do that route), so it should be supported. And maybe whatever it was, was temporary and now they support PayPal for everything.
I pay my annual pass each month with paypal manually, It can be setup to bill paypal every month but I like to control when I want to pay.--Judge a man by the trials of his shield, not the empty reaping of his sword.

For Dwight Howard, touches weren't the issue. In fact, his touches does more detriment to the offense than it does good. Since getting drafted in 2004, Howard's game has never been offensive-eccentric. He controls the game by defending the paint and opening up the floor via pick-and-roll. The more he posts up, the more Howard allows the defense to settle instead of open shots being created for his teammates. It's how Stan Van Gundy optimized him in Orlando and how Kevin McHale refuses to.
But demanding the ball is the "right" thing to do. At least from the eyes of a public fan base who expects superstars to do any and everything to stop their team from losing. Missing 12 shots wasn't good, but demanding 20-more isn't going to help his team. Him diving through the lane on the pick and hitting his free throws will do more.
Game 2 of Rockets-Trail Blazers is tomorrow at 9:30 P.M. EST.

Cornbread lovers were in north Columbia Sunday.
The second annual South Carolina Cornbread Festival kicked off without a hitch after being moved from Saturday to Sunday because of the weather.
The ten hour event was full of live music, food, dancing, and amusement rides for the kids.
"Cornbread is on every table and every household regardless of where you come from," said Donald Gist, chairman of the festival.
There was even a cornbread cook-off.
The winner of the cook-off, Charles Moser, has been cooking cornbread for decades.
"Since I was a little boy," Moser said. "My mother taught me how to make cornbread back in the early years. I was born in 33."
His winning recipe included nuts and carrots.

Replaced the white on the front and the light blue on the inside with Navy blue. Switched the lace pattern to champagne and ivory and made the small light blue stripe on the front ivory. All the beauty of a pocket invite without the hours of assembly. The paper was high quality and we have received a ton of compliments on how nice they are.

Manizel was indeed the Number one player on the Board at #16

We stayed here for new years so of course the price was higher than usual. We had originally picked out the only room left that had a jacuzzi tub in it. But when we checked in, they asked if we could trade rooms and offered us a cheaper price. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean and had nice Asian theme to it. The bathrooms were clean and nice as well. It was close to the downtown attractions. We took their shuttle downtown which was even more convenient.

Former Illini Mike Shaw will continue his college basketball career at Bradley.
The Peoria Journal Star said the forward, who played two seasons at Illinois, committed to Geno Ford on Tuesday. Ford is the brother of current Illinois assistant Dustin Ford.
"We recruit every day. A guy I worked for said, 'It's like shaving. If you don't do it every day, you'll look pretty shabby.' " — Illini coach John Groce
Groce always looks clean-shaven, from his chin to the top of his head.
All-stars headed to Parkland
CHAMPAIGN — The second Parkland College/News-Gazette senior all-star basketball games will be April 14 in the Cobras' gym.

Articles: Living in the New York Times World
I began reading the entirety of the first section of the New York Times at nine years old, and continued that practice, more or less, for decades. I regarded The Times with a sort of reverence, as have many in this country and the wider world, and now see that its influence, because of its history and standing in the culture, is much wider than one might think for a newspaper, even a so-called "paper of record" that "sets the news table" for the United States. For example I have heard, way too many times, that a friend or colleague "didn't see [the story] in The Times" so it couldn't be real or relevant.
I started reading the Sunday NYT when I was twelve or thirteen, off and on – it wasn't a daily sort of thing in Muncie, Indiana, in the late 1950s – and only began to read it regularly when I went off to an eastern boarding school at the age of fifteen, mostly because everybody else did, and the Philly Enquirer mostly sucked.
That said, by the time my first flush of lefty radicalism had dwindled at in my late twenties, it had become apparent to me that the paper of record was a paper of liberal to leftist propaganda for the most part, and I lost interest.
Never got it back, either. I doubt I've actually read a major part of any issue in the past twenty years. It's a constipated, stifling, dull, banal and most deadly, predictable paper that has become the intellectual equivalent of a coffee table book – something you keep around to indicate to your friends that you're a member in good standing of a particular (aging, moving toward irrelevant) crowd.
The NYT's real power, such as it is, stems from the fact that it's read bu a small coterie of like-minded hacks in other media venues who think it sets the national news table, when that table has really been set by Matt Drudge for at least ten years.
And even that power is fading fast, as the MSM itself becomes ever more moribund, non-responsive, and unaware of an America outside its ideological bubble.
Frankly, I don't pay too much attention to it.
Check out my new bestseller, Lightning Fall: A Novel of Disaster. Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit.com says: "Bill Quick has authored a terrific thriller that is also an all too plausible warning. Highly recommended!" Available in Kindle e-book or trade paperback formats.

Off to a Strong Start: 5 Tips for Buying Healthy Plants
Apartment Therapy's Home Remedies
Spring's Snowdrops
The Gardenist
I've been walking the garden for the last week looking for any sign of life. The bitter cold of this winter seems to have made the earliest of spring's arrivals a bit delayed, or at least it seems so as this year, I am especially desperate to greet them. Over the weekend, as the melting snow retreated just a bit further, I finally caught sight of the emerging tips of the (soon to arrive) first blooms of the season — snowdrops.
Tried and True: The Old Farmer's Almanac

Every year plenty of new and exciting garden books enter the market, but few are as timeless and consistently helpful as the Old Farmer's Almanac. This tried and true publication has been published annually since 1792 (without missing a year!) and consistently helps me keep track of what I need to get done and when in the garden.

Spring is almost here! Spring is almost here. Spring is almost here? Right now, like much of the country, this mantra is helping me get through this nasty, seemingly no end in sight, winter. Granted, as a Texan living in the frozen tundra that is New York City, I might be a bit of a winter wimp. Regardless, spring is almost here and it's time to get your planters ready for cheery blooms, and front doors ready to greet the rain boots and sandals that will soon replace all the winter gear. I just need to tell myself one more time, spring is almost here!

Four years ago Ellis Holtom, of Stratford-upon-Avon, was born with half a working heart. Later, the Herald featured his condition as a tribute to the work of Birmingham Children's Hospital where he was treated. Now, to mark Congenital Heart Defect Week his mum, Vicki, updates his story. . .
ALL 326 local planning authorities in England, councils like Stratford-on-Avon District, need a local plan. The core strategy is a component of that local plan. It contains all the local district wide policies that need to be considered when processing planning applications. New development needs to satisfy local needs, helping to realise the hopes and ambitions of its communities and protect them from situations they fear. New homes and places to work should provide then with a healthy lifestyle, a pleasant place to live, good recreational facilities and above all the infrastructure that enhances their quality of life. The buzzword to describe this is 'sustainable'.
THE poor are paying more than they should be for their energy, according to damning new evidence from Stratford-upon-Avon's Citizens Advice Bureau. Prepayment meters (PPMs) are costing users in fuel poverty a "disproportionate amount" for what little gas and electricity they can afford, the bureau has found. There are around 7.2 million people on prepayment meters in the UK and several thousand in the district of Stratford. Despite Stratford's reputation as an affluent area, the bureau is being forced to come to the aid of more and more people living in fuel poverty on an increasingly regular basis.
AN OFFICIAL paving stone commemorating Stratford-upon-Avon's forgotten war hero for the 100th anniversary of the First World War will be placed in the town, the government has confirmed. Rex Warneford – the first man to single-handedly shoot down a zeppelin - was ignored in the government's initial plans to recognise Victoria Cross winners because he was born abroad in India. The Herald launched a campaign, together with King Edward VI school, where Rex lived and studied for five years, to get the fighter pilot recognised.
FOUR women were spotted enjoying a bird's eye view of Stratford-upon-Avon around 5pm on Friday.
Milling about on the roof of Hatch Accountants in Wood Street, initial concern for their safety was soon replaced with jealousy when we realised they were simply up there to bask in the sunshine.
And why not? It's the end of the working week and the weather is glorious. If only we all had accessible rooftops.

Tottenham Hotspur under-21′s won a five-goal thriller with London rivals West Ham at Spurs training centre on Monday with striker Harry Kane scoring the pick of the goals.
Jonathan Obika had opened the scoring before the visitors levelled, but Kane restored Tottenham's advantage with a 25-yard belter to enhance his chances of pushing for a place in the first team squad. The Hammers pulled it back to 2-2 before centre-back Giancarlo Gallifuoco won it with a 69th minute header. Watch all the goals here:

Fresh fish fashion fair, that showcases Swedish up-and-coming designers. It has been running for four years now and I have planned to attend every year, but this was the first time that I actually managed to.
Around 30 designers were showing samples from their autumn/winter 2010 collection. First I have to say it does feel a little mind boggling to see stuff for next winter when this winter isn't over yet, but such is the cycle of fashion. Secondly my responses towards the displayed designs ranged from wow to meh. Making desirable and visionary clothes is hard, period. Though I did see a few things that really impressed me -there were some very visionary pattern cutting displayed for instance.
But the one thing that I kept thinking about was where will all these young designers (and their fabulous hairdos, I saw a lot of great hair today) be in 10 years? Will they have their own successful line, will they be working for H&M or perhaps given up and left the fashion field entirely?
Making it in the fashion world seems so heart achingly difficult that I am often amazed that folks are brave enough to give it a go. We just have to look at the faith of some of the Project Runway winners - sometimes talent, exposure and funding are not enough to make it. I guess the biggest hurdle is the fact that most designers want to do high end fashion - an area which has the smallest buyer pool. On the other hand there are stories of people coming from nowhere and making it. Like the young Swedish brand Minimarket, where three sisters in their early 20's with, I believe, little or no formal fashion training, has become a big success in just a few years. So it can certainly happen, but cracking that code seems very elusive. So we'll see if one of young folks I saw today will be the next big thing in 5 years. I sure hope so!

The fashion fair sounds like lots of fun. I'm glad you braved the snow and posted some pictures for us.ReplyDelete
Perhaps you should share information about the second garment pictured with Kathleen at Fashion-Incubator. It looks like the type of garment she'd feature in her Pattern Puzzle series. That skirt is just amazing.
>>LisaB: Yes it is absolutely fantastic, I kept coming back to it. You know I think it is pretty simple, construction wise, just strips of felt that are pieced together, but the end result is just stunning.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing. The creative vision is inspiring.ReplyDelete

Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Both immediate and timeless, Abraham tells the powerful story of one man's search for the shared ancestor of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Traveling through war zones, braving violence at religious sites, and seeking out faith leaders, Bruce Feiler uncovers the defining yet divisive role that Abraham plays for half the world's believers. Provocative and uplifting, Abraham offers a thoughtful and inspiring vision of unity that redefines what we think about our neighbors, our future, and ourselves.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
