What's the Difference Between a Glutton and a Gourmet?
An article in The Atlantic accuses gourmets of ignoring the moral implications of their food and says food writers are complicit in this indulgence.
While we disagree with the premise, we highly recommend putting the article (or at least this summary from The Informed Reader) on your weekend reading list.
Will eating well send us down a moral slippery slope, glossed with gravy? We find the opposite is usually true: the more interested people become in food, the more likely they are to become conscientious cooks, wondering about how their chops were raised and how their lobsters were caught and boiled.
Do we really need to worry about comitting one of the Seven Deadly Sins here?
B.R. Meyers attacks Julie Powell ("a prime example of food writers' hostility to the very language of moral values") and Michael Pollan. Powell responded on her blog.

I don't have a subscription, so I can't read the whole article. I'm left wondering: are we supposed to believe that we're somehow on higher moral ground if we live on corn dogs? The tone of the first page of the article reminded me of a piece that was in the Washington Post just today. It was about the way perfectly dressed, perfectly coiffed women are viewed with scorn.
A few years ago, the French government petitioned the Vatican to remove gluttony as one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Vatican promised to get back to them. Eventually.
I find there are two types of gourmets: 1) the type that loves food and wants to know everything about it (how to cook it, how nutritious it may or may not be, where it came from, etc.) and 2) the type that just likes to eat it.
I know a few of both types and it's probably the type 2 gourmets that may slip into gluttony....
That's too funny JonathanB. However, arguably, gluttony may be one of the only vices a priest may succumb to.
The word glutton has a clear definition: a person who is devoted to eating and drinking to excess. Definition by Google.
The word gourmet when used in this context is defined as: A person who appreciates good food. Definition also by Google.
I know and have seen many gluttonous gourmets. I have also seen many gluttons who see themselves as gourmets. If "appreciating" good food is all that it takes to qualify as a gourmet then everybody is a gourmet. Big Macs are considered good food by many and are duly appreciated just as are black truffles by those in the know.
Let's break out of the definition box and do what we think is right based on what is good, wholesome and conscientious in the food world. Has everyone been a glutton at some point in their life? Of course, everyone has few too many sometimes. If people are going to associate gourmet with gluttony as if the gourmet's life is controlled by the urge to be drunk and full all of the time then I have no problem carrying on without any label at all.
While I haven't read the Atlantic Monthly article, some quick thoughts. In my opinion, what's immoral is throwing away perfectly good food in the trash because one "doesn't eat leftovers". Also, the other day, a friend emailed me a photo slideshow of the most expensive desserts in the world, a lot of them are to be found in this side of the world but no.1 is a $14,000 creation served at a restaurant in Sri Lanka. In a country with a lot of problems, poverty being one of them, that is just obscene.
I hate to shed a negative light on my own industry. RJD talks about the immorality of throwing away perfectly good food. I would say that could be considered gluttonous. In the world of fine dining I believe the public is led to believe that these restaurants are setting the best example when it comes to all things food. This is a misconception.
Many of the three and four star establishments are the biggest gluttons there are. Without naming any establishments for fear of ending up like Anthony Bourdain, there are so many places that are just plain wasteful without any regrets. The more people are willing to spend in an establishment often leads the kitchen to give the customer only the "best" of everything. So the customer is drawn to the restaurant's pristine ingredients sourced from only the best organic and sustainable producers. Because the customer is only getting the "best" means that the restaurant is not afraid to give the customer the cream and throw out the milk.
Specifically, use only the hearts of the celery and throw away the ribs. Use only the center cuts of foie gras and throw the scraps away. Use massive amounts of expensive butter to let roasted meats rest in. Throw countless numbers of imported glass water bottles in the garbage. Throw pounds of swordfish bellies into the garbage because you only want to use the "chop".
Now, just about everybody has a restaurant in Las Vegas. Many of these restaurants basically don't even have a budget. What happens when certain individuals have an endless cash flow? The same things happen with restaurants and they both have consequences. Although, one person cannot really be blamed for depleting the ocean of it's fish, restaurants can and they do, as a collective force that shifts markets.
Restaurants have a greater responsibility not to be gluttons whether they choose to realize it or not.
I'll try to curtail my "soapbox" style comments from this point on.
I read the article in the Atlantic, and I found it really thought-provoking (and felt the author had some valid points). There's a way in which food writers sometimes brush off the moral implications of eating meat, or foie gras, or endangered fish, or whatever else with a somewhat smug "don't be a bore" attitude. I think the article really takes issue with the idea that the flavor necessarily justifies the means. I say this as someone who does eat meat (and lobster); it was valuable for me to take some time to think about my practices. It might be worthwhile to consider occasionally just how good something has to taste to justify the cost. Even if you don't totally agree with the conclusions, I think it's an article absolutely worth reading.
art, it was a thoughtful comment on a relevant aspect of an industry you know well - it was a bit long, but it was very informative and I'm glad you posted it.
I can't access the article - why does the author attack Michael Pollan? Pollan has written a lot about paying attention to what we eat (for health and environmental reasons), I can't see him being on the side of wasteful gluttony instead of considered gourmet eating.
The article provokes some thought, and a lot of eye-rolling. No, I will never feel bad for eating and enjoying meat; yes, I probably do overeat sometimes in my pursuit of deliciousness, no, I am not uncomfortable with that concept.
We shouldn't waste good food, but we also shouldn't feel bad for pursuing it.
art, thank you for your "soapbox" post. it's definitely something to think about when enjoying fine dining.
however, is there any fine dining that specializes in using all of what's available? large chains have specific items sent to them (e.g. vacuum packed pre-prepared meat), so i guess technically the restaurant itself isn't wasteful. smaller/independent restaurants, on the other hand, don't have such a supply system, so they pay for X items and toss the rest? i read somewhere that part of the popularity in tasting menues is that it's a way to use these scraps and turn a profit.
I got a little bit off track by singling out fine dining restaurants. I wanted to point out that, yes, many of them are not as responsible as could be. But the point that I should have made was that the entire restaurant industry should be more conscientious. I just look at fine dining, the top 2% of the food industry as the ones who should be leading by example and they are.
The corporate chains etc. may be purchasing things that are portion controlled and bundled up so neatly in a facility but how much energy did it take to get that product to that stage?
Mediocre restaurants are what's fueling those double digit sales in the billions of dollars. These are the places that are giving us what we want at the prices we want. These are the places that keep the factory farm fires burning all day and all night. There are other implications too...who works in these restaurants at such low wages to keep the prices where we want them? Food is an industry just like any other. I'm glad there are articles like this one to keep people thinking. As food has become more important to me, the more conscientious I have become. Do I contradict my beliefs by my actions? Much to my dismay, far too often. Life is a journey full of challenges.

With their season in jeopardy and in need of a spark on offense after being held to a season-low 185 yards of offense, the Bengals may begin looking more to rooke receiver Mohamed Sanu to give their struggling receiving corps a boost. Against the Steelers Sunday, Sanu caught three passes for 27 yards and gained seven yards on a rushing attempt.
The receptions were the first three of Sanu's career. The third-rounder out of Rutgers received more playing time after Armon Binns was inactive and Marvin Jones suffered a knee injury early in the game.
Sanu has already been active this year, as he came made his NFL debut in Week 3 against the Washington Redskins. Sanu came in as the wildcat quarterback on the first play of the game and threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green, giving Sanu his first touchdown pass before his first NFL reception while also becoming the first Bengals receiver to throw a touchdown pass in the history of the long-standing franchise.

Probably for more U-Verse deployments.
Could it be for Sonic.net? They are going to deploy fiber in San Francisco as well. But the guy wouldn't have said it was for AT&T in that case, though.»corp.sonic.net/ceo/2011/12/15/so···release/
Probably either for U-Verse or for cell sites.
I noticed a contractor running fiber in my old neighborhood; but it was only for a Metro-E network to supply fiber to a neighborhood school.U-verse may be a gimmick, but hardly "phony". In most cases it is, like Comcast, a type of hybrid plant, with fiber to neighborhood nodes (FTTN), and copper to the premises. It is still a form of DSL carried over copper (with the exception of the rare FTTP deployment. In most cases, the average U-verse Internet speed is actually between double and triple the older ADSL speeds.--Norman~Oh Lord, why have you come~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum

Vayalar Ravi to flag off yatra on importance of family
Janasree Sustainable Development Mission (JSDM), a flagship project billed as the "Congress party's bandwagon that works among women" in Kerala, is launching a statewide yatra to promote the importance of a happy family.
"We want to spread the message of the importance and significance of a happy family and what that brings to society at large," state Congress vice president M.M. Hassan told IANS.
The yatra is being flagged off at Alappuzha by Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi on the occasion of JSDM's seventh anniversary celebrations on Sunday.
"It's quite simple that a happy family means a contented Kerala. That's our mantra for the statewide yatra, which will touch all the 14 districts of the state. It will finish at Palakkad on March 12," Hassan said.
JSDM is engaged in rural development of the economically weak and socially backward, with an aim to achieve integrated and sustainable development of Kerala.
"We will, right through the yatra, have experts speaking on the importance of a happy family and the benefits it will roll out to society," Hassan said.
JSDM has a beneficiary participation of 12.5 lakh people, and there are close to 16,000 ward-level groups which act as the means to connect with people.

Tesla's Colorado Springs base looked like a movie designer's idea of a mad scientist's lair. At its heart was a 200-foot tower with a great copper globe on top, which would be charged up to millions of volts. When Tesla was experimenting, the air around the site seemed to crackle with electricity — sparks flew from faucets in nearby houses and horses were said to be electrocuted as they stood in the fields. Lightbulbs placed hundreds of yards from the transmitter glowed eerily without any visible connection, picking up the massive electrical field that Tesla was producing.

At the age of sixteen, while in Aarau, Albert [Einstein] asked himself what a light wave would look like to someone keeping pace with it.
Compared with the other incident, this one seems inconsequential. It appears to be no achievement at all but merely an unanswered question. But this question that Albert asked himself at the age of sixteen haunted him for years. It strikingly reveals his ability to go to the heart of a problem. For the question contains the germ of the theory of relativity, and at the time no one in the world could have given a satisfactory answer. Einstein found an answer himself, but it took him ten years.

After winning the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics, Richard Feynman received a letter from Dr. George Beadle at the University of Chicago offering him an honorary degree.
This was his reply:
Dear George,
Yours is the first honorary degree that I have been offered, and I thank you for considering me for such an honor.
However, I remember the work I did to get a real degree at Princeton and the guys on the same platform receiving honorary degrees without work—and felt an "honorary degree" was a debasement of the idea of a "degree which confirms certain work has been accomplished." It is like giving an "honorary electricians license." I swore then that if by chance I was ever offered one I would not accept it.
Now at last (twenty-five years later) you have given me a chance to carry out my vow.
So thank you, but I do not wish to accept the honorary degree you offered.
Sincerely yours,
Richard P. Feynman

All the evidence now points to the likelihood that our Universe will keep on expanding forever, at an accelerating rate. The process is exactly like a slower version of the inflation that produced the bubble of space we live in. Eventually — and it doesn't matter how long it takes since we have eternity to play with — all the stars will die and all the matter of the Universe will either decay into radiation or be swallowed up in black holes. But even black holes do not last forever. Thanks to quantum processes, energy leaks away from black holes in the form of radiation. This happens at an accelerating rate, and eventually they disappear in a puff of gamma rays. So the ultimate fate of our Universe is to become an exponentially expanding region of space filled with a low density of radiation. This is exactly the situation described by the solution to Einstein's equations found by de Sitter, and known as de Sitter space.

Souncloud Audio into Jitter
Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)
sorry for the relative noob question, but am hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.
Is it possible for Max/MSP/Jitter to go to a url (soundcloud page) and stream the audio content found at the url, then creating a visualization with regards to that information? I know the visualization part can be done, but the sourcing content from the url that i need guidance on.
any help/guidance much appreciated?
I think so. Soundcloud has good documentation on their APIs. For example:
can get you both download URL and a streaming URL. With them, you can get original or mp3 bitstreams respectively. You'll need to get a client_id to authenticate against those APIs. Their docs tell you how.
With an MP3 stream, you could probably use jit.qt.movie to "read" the URL you got from the SoundCloud APIs. Use a spigot~ object (and attach it to the jit.qt.movie) object to get access to the audio stream in Max.
I have no idea if this will work in a stream-as-it-downloads method or if it needs to get the whole MP3 downloaded.
hi, thanks for the info, and very sorry for the late reply. I will test this out soon…

Bob, There are a number of finds in archeology, anthropology, demographics, language, etc, which were not know in Joseph Smiths day but which confirm or support details in the Book of Mormon. There are far too many things the Book of Mormon gets right for it to be a fraud. I would be happy to share some of those things with you.
Clark continues" "The hypothesis of human authorship of The Book of Mormon demands that truth claims in the book be judged by what was believed, known, or knowable in Joseph's backyard in the 1820s. The book's description of ancient peoples differs greatly from the racist notions of rude savages held by 19th-century Americans. The book's claim of city societies was laughable at the time, but no one is laughing now. (Ibid) Here, John Clark makes an essential point. Archeology is always incomplete. There never is a time when everything is discovered. In fact very little is ever discovered of what once existed and very little ever will be. That is a very real limitation of archeology. One can always focus on something that has not been discovered. But this approach tends to error. In taking this approach one tends to ignore what has been found. As Clark says, the list of things that have not been found from the Book of Mormon is short.
Mesoamerican archeologist John Clark says: "We will be the first to acknowledge that The Book of Mormon has problems with physical evidence that challenges belief, especially the missing metals, plants, and animals. When some Church members see the list we are advertising here, they despair — perhaps because they don't know how archaeology works, or better still, doesn't work. . . . As a tally of major deficiencies, this is a very short list indeed, especially for a book which makes several thousand claims about an ancient American past. It is instructive to remember that biblical archaeologists are still looking for evidence of Abraham and Moses after two centuries of searching, so what are a few misplaced grains, metals, and animals among friends? All of the children of Israel who followed Moses out of Egypt are still missing and unaccounted for archaeologically, but their descendants are our friends and neighbors. My message here is that archaeology is among the crudest of methods for establishing facts and truth, so one should not get over-heated about what has or has not been found at any given hour. By focusing only on missing evidence, one loses perspective. We all know what's missing. A question we should ask more often is: What has been found? . . . If the book were a hoax there should not be any evidence to support it, not even one bottle cap, hair pin, or cigarette butt. Because of the logic of evidence in this instance, one positive correspondence counts for dozens of missing ones. For example, one documented steel sword trumps several herds of missing horses and elephants. (FAIR Conference 2005)
The reconstruction of Book of Mormon geography thus faces several difficulties not found in biblical geography. In Mesoamerica there is a discontinuity of toponyms, whereas there is strong continuity of toponyms in Palestine. In Palestine there is a strong continuity of culture. In the New World Nephite culture was destroyed. In Palestine there is a strong continuity of Language. In the New world scholars can read very little of the Pre-Classic Mayan language. There is no Rosetta Stone to unlock the Pre-Classic language. Furthermore, inscriptional evidence from Mesoamerica uses symbolic glyphs for cities rather than phonetic transcriptions of the names, whereas inscriptional evidence in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine usually contains a phonetic component. This means that place names in the old world can be phonetically read but not so in Pre-Classic (Book of Mormon time period) Mesoamerica. And finally, there is no Pre-Classic onomasticon (place-name list) for Mesoamerica, whereas Palestine has Eusebius's detailed Onomasticon, as well as those of later pilgrims. These items allow historians to create a map grid based both on names and distances between sites for key biblical sites. No such help is available for Mesoamerica, the most likely place for Book of Mormon lands.
So out of many hundreds, even thousands of Pre-Classic sites, only a dozen or so are known in inscriptions and those are symbolic rather than phonetic. These were translated between languages by their symbolic name rather than transliterated phonetically. Thus, as Marcus says: "in Nahuatl [Aztec] . . . 'Hill of the Bird' is Tototepec (tototl = bird + tepetl = hill) and 'Hill of the Jaguar' is Ocelotepec (ocelotl + tepetl). . . . 'Hill of the Bird' in Mixtec would be Yucu Dzaa, from yucu (hill) + dzaa (bird); 'Hill of the Jaguar' in Zapotec would be Tani Guebeche, from tani (hill) + guebeche (fierce carnivore)." (Marcus, Mesoamerican Writing, 168) Therefore, even for those few sites for which a symbolic reading can be determined, the pronunciation of the glyphs seems to have been language-dependent. A Zapotec speaker would pronounce the glyph for the place-name of the same site differently than a Mixtec, and both would be different from Nephite pronunciation, even though all three could theoretically be written with variations of the same glyph. All of these problems mean that we will most likely never be able to learn the Pre-Classic names for most ancient Mesoamerican sites. Barring further discoveries, we will therefore never learn from inscriptional evidence how the names of Mesoamerican cities were pronounced in Book of Mormon times. This, then, is a problem which is far more severe for Mesoamerican archeologists than the issues facing old world archeologists who are trying to identify the location of sites mentioned in the Bible. A further difficulty in Mesoamerica is the climate. The dry climate of the Middle East means that parchments, papyri, leather scrolls, and other artifacts can survive relatively intact for thousands of years. In Mesoamerica the wet climate destroys any such materials in a short time. In the dry climate of the Middle East it is easier to see and identify potential archeological sites and easier to travel and to gain physical access to them. There is no jungle to hack through, no cover of trees and roots which not only hide sites but which have to be removed before excavations can begin.
Here is another major barrier to finding Book of Mormon sites which does not hinder Old World archeology: The Book of Mormon time period corresponds to the Mayan Pre-Classic period (Before about 300 AD). There is a severe discontinuity between Pre-Classic place names and the later time periods which are: Classic (about AD 300- AD 900) and the Post-Classic (About 900 AD to about 1520 AD) names and the Colonial Periods (After A.D. 1520). For example, what were the original Pre-Classic Mesoamerican names for sites currently bearing Spanish colonial names such as Monte Alban, San Lorenzo, La Venta, or El Mirador? These and many other Mesoamerican sites bear only Spanish names, dating from no earlier than the sixteenth century. We don't know their earlier Mayan names. Most of the sites now bear Spanish names or are derived from Aztec names but the earlier Classic and especially the Pre-Classic (Book of Mormon period) names are not known. Pre-Classic Mesoamerican inscriptions are rare and scholars can read very little of it. Most of the Mayan that can be read is from later periods.. Whereas several thousand inscriptions exist from Classic Mesoamerica (A.D. 300—900), Pre-Classic inscriptions (i.e., from Book of Mormon times) are limited to a few dozen. (John S. Justeson, "The Origin of Writing Systems: Preclassic Mesoamerica," World Archaeology 17/3 (1986): 446—47.) To make it even harder, the earliest phonetic spelling was developed around A.D. 400 in Mesoamerica. (Ibid., 452.) All Mesoamerican inscriptions from Book of Mormon times are logograms. This means that all surviving inscriptional toponyms from Book of Mormon times are therefore basically symbolic rather than phonetic, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to know how they were pronounced. Therefore it is possible that some of the pre-classic logogram location names may be Book of Mormon place names but, we can't tell that because we don't know how those early place names were pronounced.
The area most likely to be Book of Mormon lands is Mesoamerica. The Conquistadors destroyed Mayan and Aztec cultures and re-named all the cities. The original names are unknown today. One exception is a city in eastern Belize on the Yucatan peninsula. It was never occupied by the Conquistadors and it retains its original name. It is called Lamoni, which is a Book of Mormon name. Another clue to original Mesoamerican city names is the Mayan ritual ceremony depicting their conquest and capture of territories in ancient times. The ceremony particularly celebrates the conquest of a city called Pan cha'lib which means Bountiful. A Nephite city that is described in the Book of Mormon as being conquered by the Lamanites is Bountiful. Coincidence? The Maya had wars among themselves and a number of cities were conquered. This is the same story that we hear in the Book of Mormon and the time periods for the Mayan and Book of Mormon wars match up well. So let's ask this question: Why might either the Maya, or the Lamanites, be particularly proud of conquering this particular city called Pan cha'lib or Bountiful? They had conquered many other cities. Why celebrate the conquest of this particular city? We read in the Book of Mormon that the city Bountiful was an exceeding stronghold (Alma 53:3-5). This city was particularly hard for the Lamanites to conquer because it was strongly fortified. Therefore, one would be particularly proud of such a conquest. It makes sense that the conquest of this particular city might be memorialized and celebrated and become a tradition passed on to future generations. And that's just what we find the Maya doing over the city Pan cha'lib or Bountiful.
The Maxwell Institute isn't the only place where the Onomasticon of Eusebius is discussed.
Ezra Taft Benson, president of the LDS Church, taught: He was the Only Begotten Son of our Heavenly Father in the flesh—the only child whose mortal body was begotten by our Heavenly Father. His mortal mother, Mary, was called a virgin, both before and after she gave birth. (See 1 Nephi 11:20.) (From Ezra Taft Benson, "Joy in Christ," Ensign (March 1986), 3–4) Mormon Apostle Jeffrey R. Holland taught: in 2007: "Now, to anyone within the sound of my voice who has wondered regarding our Christianity, I bear this witness. I testify that Jesus Christ is the literal, living Son of our literal, living God. This Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer who, under the guidance of the Father, was the Creator of heaven and earth and all things that in them are. I bear witness that He was born of a virgin mother, that in His lifetime He performed mighty miracles observed by legions of His disciples and by His enemies as well." Since Mary was still a virgin after the birth she clearly had no sexual intercourse before that time.

On Ask Polly: I Thought My Mother-in-Law Was Going to Kill Me at My Wedding
People here have good advice about the emotional moving on part, so I'm not even going there, but I think you need a little healthy revenge, in the style of "living well is the best revenge." Throw yourself a damn fancy party! 2nd anniversary, milestone birthday party, housewarming, holiday, random day dinner party, whatever. Start saving up, buy a nice dress, get catering, rent a hall, or make fancy food, plan the events, invite everyone special you can reasonably get to come, go get your hair did and your house cleaned by hired people, etc. Don't invite anyone who ruined things for you last time. Have a part of the night where you get to stand up and make a little speech about how good life is. Have someone you trust promise to take nice photos.
A wedding is but one of many decent themes for a party. I think the many people who want a wedding do over are people who maybe just think that a wedding is the only time you are allowed to spend too much money on a party, and forget that parties can be had for literally no reason at all. if you go into a wedding thinking, this is the first time I'm going to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on creating an orchestrated social event, but not the last, it all gets much less high stakes, it becomes practice for the special parties you will throw when you are 40 or 50 or 60 or just because. I recently attended a party that was a "we're so fabulous at 60" party for two best friends that included every single element of a wedding and must have cost a bajillion dollars. It was stupendous, and everyone loved it, because it was all the fun parts of a wedding without any vows. We skipped straight to the reception. There was a raffle with monstrous gift baskets!
Tell your husband you need a special day that's all about you and him, but in a new way. Not in a "this is us getting married" but in a "hey cool, life is good, look at all these great people in our lives." bonus, you can pick any color dress you want!
On Ask Polly: My Terrific Herd Of Friends Is Being Ruined By This Awful Freak
@bluewindgirl I'd have to guess that you should recognize that the resentment isn't about her behavior exactly. It's more about what you got sucked into and the time you spent. You are mad at her that you didn't get out of it faster, and mad at yourself that you got pulled in. At least for me, I have a few friends I love but who make me completely exasperated, and its more about how mad I am at who they turn me into. I want to be less ruffled by their behavior, and "be cool" and instead they make me seem like ranting uptight bitch because of their damn careless ways and no one else seems as bothered and that bothers me too!
So for me, I gotta lean into to knowing that person annoys me, brace myself, find ways to limit it. If I try to act like this time I'm not going to get pissed off in a greater proportion to everyone else I definitely will. It makes it easier for me to not hate that person when I realize I'm mad at myself. So if I pre visualize the thing that person does that annoys me before I see them, I'm able to be more zen. "Oh there she goes, I totally expected it!"
On Ask Polly: My Parents Don't Want Me To Marry This Short Man And I'm Freaking Out!
The weird thing about being married is that you will be with that person till you die if your marriage works out. You are 29, on average you'll live to be 81. He's probably going to make it to 76, which means he's at the exact midpoint of his life- he's going to live at least another 38 years if all goes well. 7 months is about 1.5% of his remaining life, about 1.1% of your remaining 52 years. Which is to say, it's not a lot of time.
What this means to me is why would you rush the courtship end of things to get the marriage part? You could hold out two years before getting married and it would only represent 5% of the life you would live together. Even with a 2 year courtship 95% of your relationship (provided it worked) would be married time!
I mean, life doesn't work that way really, but it's just... I get that people get swoony and want to lock it all down plus kids and not being ancient when you have them, but if you are going to spend 38 years with this dude, there's no reason not to do your homework when you start out. The wedding is a dramatic point followed by 4 decades of just regular life with only one person. Better make sure you can stand that person inside and out and you don't have any doubts.
On Ask Polly: Should I Give In And Be The Other Woman?
@Niko Bellic I'm not interested in protecting the creep's feelings. I just think that if someone was like, "this girl is a real creep and is trying to get me to cheat on my girlfriend" and the advice columnist was like, "you know what makes all women insecure? Telling her your girlfriend has perfect nipples and long legs and the best vagina ever"- I would think that's not a good strategy.
Maybe it's distracting to my point that I came up with an alternate way of putting someone else down that doesn't rely on physical features, because certainly, all of those rely on the idea that the person isn't confident in some aspect of their sexual prowess. I just think the penis size thing is an out of bounds choice because I it's relying on and enforcing an expectation that someone would feel shame or insecurity for their physical features. And that is a toxic thing.
I don't think I've "lost the point of defending the victim in my efforts to protect the feelings of the aggressive asshole". I think the analogy I'd go with is that if someone was like, "you know what stops men from catcalling you on the street? Calling them a racial slur or a homophobic name!", I'd still say, "it's not cool to shame someone else in your tactic to defend yourself" and it doesn't have anything to do with protecting the person being the harasser. Everything else Polly said is great advice. I just think that part was not polite and mean. Not polite to the world as a whole, not in keeping with the rest of how this column really sticks up for doing the right thing. Defending yourself from one person doesn't mean you should strike out and hit some other person.
On Ask Polly: Should I Give In And Be The Other Woman?
Polly, you had me right up to the penis thing. Penis size is a main body insecurity dudes have, and it seems unkind and vindictive when women do this thing about penis size-even if the guy is a terrible guy. What woman hasn't felt the burn of having some body part be dismissed as not the right size, and the fear they're not as worth loving because of it?
It seems so unnecessary to pass the body insecurity misery along. I think you could say many other things that are just as intimidating but aren't contributing to some concept that men with small penises suck. His stamina, his skill, his libido- those are all good ones. "I've never met a man who likes to have sex as much as he does! I can barely walk. wink wink. The thing about him is his tongue...is magic. Magic. The man can weave 12 cherry stems into a tiny basket!" etc.
Plus, what if this creep has a huge penis? What if he thinks to himself, "AHA, I have a chance! Mine is huge!?"
On Ask Polly: My Boyfriend Dumped Me For Following My Dreams
LW1: I went through something pretty similar with an ex. And it basically forced me to think about how I'd built myself the type of life that felt unfulfilled without a relationship to guide it. Which becomes a problem when the relationship gets pulled away.
The way I let go, was by deliberately not letting go. I made a list of breakup recovery cliches and checked them off one by one (take a class, go out clubbing, get a haircut. listen to our song and cry, toss his stuff, etc- anything in a rom-com montage). I made a list of all the qualities I'd wished he'd had or things I knew would bug him and specifically went on dates with men with those qualities- taller men, men with better jobs, etc. I came up with adventures for myself to do that I thought would help me win if I ever ran into him again (took trips, got great pictures that I figured mutual friends might share with him, that kind of thing). And then over time a larger and larger percentage of that kind of stuff turned into just me living my life for me, and not always thinking of how I was totally grinding his face into the dust.
I find that a negative way of thinking helps me more. Like, for instance what if I am never going to meet anyone ever again and also my job always sucks? What then? You can't just hate your life for the next 60 years if that happens. There's other stuff besides work and relationships, and if you are truly going to suck at the other two, which you probably won't for long, but just in case, will you be able to find other awesome stuff? You have to fill up the time somehow, might as well like it.
On Ask Polly: How Do You Handle The Death of a Facebook Friend?
@Lcanon This makes me think of the expression, "There's no zealot like a convert." Aka, as a liberal breaking away from your conservative family, you are more strongly convinced you are right and want to spread the word, stick up for what you believe in. However imagine that your conversion wasn't to liberalism. Imagine if you came home as some kind of religion more strict than your family has. Say...a Mennonite. And all you wanted to do was be like, "WHY DO YOU KEEP USING CREDIT CARDS! You KNOW I'm not a user of credit cards! OR computers! That zipper is too fancy!"
And your family, to their credit was like, "look we still love you, go on and don't use electricity if you don't want to." and then later you walked into a room and your mom is saying, "Oh my god do I ever love ice cubes and takeout!" and you are like, "MOM HOW COULD YOU!"
The example above is obviously different because to a liberal person, conservative values contain a lot of value judgement and hateful sentiments, but I think the test is what happens when you come home with your values. If they have said stuff that makes you cringe about a racial group- used a stereotype or a bad word, but when you come home with someone from that group, they do their damn best to make that person welcome, even if it's not always smooth sailing, that's a sign that they see abstract things really differently from concrete people. And concrete things will be what ultimately converts them- that that guy, he's gay?! But he seems cool! Maybe I need to rethink.
So I'd suggest also maybe if you can manage it, making it a joke at your own expense. If someone starts in on liberal feminist sluts and their birth control, you gotta be like, "Now hey now Uncle Ted, I need to get more beer. I'm going to go take my 12 abortion pills, and come on back to the table, can I get you anything?" Depends on your family, and their sense of humor, but at least among the medium racist/homophobe/sexist people in my family, they tend to respect a different opinion so long as you make it funny. They do not like having their noses shoved in anything, but if it's like, "we aren't on the same side at all, ha ha ha, more pickles?" it works.
On Critics Who Explain Things
There is some brilliant relationship parallel to be made here between what's going on in the comedy debate over the various merits of rape jokes, and the right therin of a comic to make said jokes and the rights and role of a critic. In both cases you have an industry that looks critically at subjects and comments on them. In both cases you have an industry that is traditionally dominated by straight male white people, reaching a tipping point where your consumer base is no longer strictly the province of the same demographics. And some really interesting and frustrating and hopeful things are comming out of that change.
For each you have a playing field that is not at all level but has tilted into an angle where for the first time, accusations that the field is slanted are audible at all. The critics are in a place where they themselves are vunerable to criticisms, where they could lose income as a direct result of a misplaced statement. They're nervous and it shows in these jittery dances, that end up being all the more telling in what they reveal. Tosh gets so nervous by being told a certain brand of humor isn't funny at all, he freaks out and says the intellectual equivalent of, "yeah well, I hope you DIE!". Giraldi gets so preready to deal with the accusation that he's unable to see the worth of a woman's work that he gives the game away and says "women's fiction" equals a "leaden obsession with pregnancy, dating and divorce", but that's not why he doesn't like it! No, it's just pop lit!
And it's funny because he was totally doing fine before that when he's talking about how she uses language. When he says, "Ohlin's language betrays an appalling lack of register — language that limps onto the page proudly indifferent to pitch or vigor...In just 13 pages you will be asked to endure eyes "fluttering," then "shining," then "fluttering" again. Mitch's girlfriend is "brilliantly smart" — imagine for a second the special brand of languor required to connect those two terms ..." - That's fine! I'd never know that there was any special awareness from this critic as to his issues with "leaden" lady topics if he'd stuck to really viciously pursuing the mediocre writing, and we probably wouldn't even be talking about it today. He put the "phallic shadow" into this article his own damn self.
On Lobstah And Crafts! A Summertime Guide To Portland (The Real One, In Maine)
@tomme Time for my Mainer joke! My Mainer grandparents always told this one. No one else I know in the world finds it funny, except people from Maine over the age of 50.
A woman marries a man from Maine and moves back with him to his hometown. Everyone treats her as an outsider. They have kids. The kids grow up, they marry local kids, have more kids. It's 30 years later and she's still being treated like a newcomer. In frustration she vents to her mother in law. She says, "I've lived here for 30 years. Your son is from here, our kids are from here! Why do people still treat me like an outsider!"
Her mother in law looks at her calmly and says, "That cat over theah had heah kittens in the oven. But we don't call them biscuits."
AHA HA HAHA. So funny when my gram told it. That was the meanest burn she knew.
On How To Write The Great American Novel
@barnhouse I'm a huge fan of Raptor Red. Main character is a Utahraptor. It's a gripping epic. There's heartbreak, young love, difficulties of parenting and danger galore!

"In a business world where sustainability is gaining momentum every day in various industries, more and more university students are looking for internship opportunities to learn practical skills and knowledge in a socially responsible context.
My sincere thanks for Citi and The Hong Kong Council of Social Service in organizing the Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program 2013, providing a valuable platform for our students to connect to the community not only for gaining experience, but also for sensitizing themselves to the broader needs of society that go beyond the profit-making motive."
Prof. Allan Chan, Acting Dean
"The CUHK Business School is committed to promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) through various channels such as seminars, case competitions and exchange scholarships. The Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program serves as an excellent platform to enhance the CSR experience of our future business leaders as well as to provide them with opportunities to serve our society."
Prof. T.J. Wong, Dean
"CityU's College of Business places great emphasis on whole-person development and makes social responsibility a core element of the curriculum. I am delighted to see the Citi Community Intern Program cultivates students' awareness of corporate social responsibility and trains students to make decisions that serve not only themselves, but also the interests of sustaining our planet. I give my wholehearted thanks to the organizing committee, Citi Bank and partner institutions for their dedication and commitment. I believe this program will nature the next generation of business leaders for a sustainable future."
Prof. Julie Li, Associate Dean (Undergraduate)
"Non-profit organizations contribute very much to Hong Kong society but like business and other organizations they need personnel who are skilled in management and other business studies to help them apply their resources wisely. HKCSS plays a very important role then in supporting non-profit organizations and developing the people who will make them effective. Best of luck to HKCSS and its student interns."
Prof. William Tjosvold, Academic Dean
"The Open University of Hong Kong is very pleased to be affiliated with the Hong Kong Council of Social Service and participate in their Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program. Needless to say, internship programs play an important role in our curriculums either formally or informally. The Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program is particularly good to our students as it combines well with our corporate internship programs and provides different exposures and experiences which have received growing recognition as essential and important in helping to shape the concepts of business ethics and social responsibility for our students."
Prof. Y. K. Ip, Dean
"We are honoured to be a participant of the Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program, a collaboration between the business, welfare and education sectors. Through this program, our students deepen their understanding of the community, broaden their knowledge and skills, and develop a sense of social responsibility. I would like to wish you all continued success and greater accomplishments in the years to come."
Prof. Edwin Cheng, Dean
"Business, labor and civil society organizations have skills and resources that are vital in helping to build a more robust global community," former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan stressed. Indeed with community service, we would have a better quality of life for the recipients as well as the persons who serve. The Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program provides a valuable opportunity for business students to take part in developing and deploying their trainings through community service while serving their internships in NGO's. It is a great pleasure to see that the student participants, who will be our future business professionals and leaders, dedicated their hearts and efforts in their internships and made the Program a complete success."

Hello Victor,
Saturday, April 1, 2006, 5:37:51 AM, you wrote:
The problem you have is based on the fact that you are trying to break 2 Lan
Manager hashes, not one. Remember that Lan Manager splits passwords into two
independent hashes and then sticks them together. You can do two things: use
the pwdump format in which as an extra bonus rcrack will break the lowercase
letters by bruteforcing the NTLM hash (only after it breaks both hashes) or
you can use the hash list (-l) or individual hashes (-h) by separating your
hashes into two separate ones. For example, the hash for the word "password"
would be E52CAC67419A9A224A3B108F3FA6CB6D where E52CAC67419A9A22 would be
broken into "passwor" and 4A3B108F3FA6CB6D into "d".
You can use "rcrack alpha/*rt -h E52CAC67419A9A22" to break the first half.
Good luck,
Thanks for the info.
I also found out that i was using wrong charsets, the charset for
'alpha' also contained a space.

Thirty-two years ago, the unemployment rate in America under Jimmy Carter was 7.8 percent, combined with an inflation rate of more than 13 percent; these economic woes, of course, ushered in the Reagan presidency.
What did Reagan do immediately? He convinced Congress to decrease federal income tax rates for the wealthiest from 70 percent (at that time) to 28 percent. During Reagan's eight years in office, he added only 12,000 additional federal employees. Contrast this with 100,000 new federal workers during Carter's four years and already 130,000 new federal employees during Obama's three and one-half years.
During the Reagan years, the nation's economy became robust again.
And what is one of this year's election's major proposals? "Raise taxes." This is incomprehensible and does not make sense. Why can't we learn from our past history?

Early pumpkin beers brew dismay among drinkersBy MICHAEL FELBERBAUM
The Associated Press | September 04,2013AP PHOTO
Pumpkin beers are on display for sale at a Whole Foods Market in Richmond, Va. Labor Day may be considered the unofficial end of summer, but some craft brewers couldnt even wait until then to roll out their pumpkin and other fall seasonal beers. Many already have been in stores and on taps for a month.RICHMOND, Va. Its bad enough that back-to-school comes in June, and Halloween arrives in July. And of course we all know Christmas begins in September. But now even the craft beer industry is caving to seasonal creep. For this year, the beer drinkers harbinger of autumn pumpkin ales apparently couldnt hold off until the pumpkins actually ripened.
Labor Day may be considered the unofficial end of summer, but some craft brewers couldnt even wait until then to roll out their pumpkin and other fall seasonal beers. Many already have been in stores and on taps for a month. And not all beer drinkers are saying, Cheers!
Everyone likes pumpkin beer, but you dont want it to come too soon. I definitely like to drink it in the appropriate season, says Nate Marsden, 23, of Boston, who nonetheless recently gave in to the temptation of his favorite seasonal brew, Pumking, an imperial pumpkin ale from Southern Tier Brewing Co.
Hes got company. Beer connoisseurs who wanted to savor summer a bit longer have been airing their gripes on social media. Taking to Twitter with hashtags such as (hash)HolidayFail and (hash)SummersNotOver, people like Andrew Hickey let it be known they werent impressed with the early start.
Forget being irritated about back-to-school ads, the 33-year-old tweeted complete with a photo of the offending brew back on Aug. 16. Why is there pumpkin ale already on shelves?!?
I think its just a rushing the season kind of thing, said Hickey, of East Brunswick, N.J. Im guilty of drinking them but it seems like its getting earlier and earlier each year.
Brewers were quick to explain that they didnt have much choice. They said increased demand and the size of their breweries meant they needed to start making the beer earlier. And that means it gets to consumers earlier, too.
If you think its too early for Pumpkin Ale, dont go get some, Schlafly Beer in St. Louis posted on its website in August. It will still be on shelves for the next couple months (hopefully) and you can pick some up down the road.
Dan Kopman, the brewerys co-founder, said that in a perfect world theyd have their summer offerings available through the end of summer, then start selling their fall beers soon after. When something changes that has been very traditional, youre always going to get a comment, he says. Its a great problem to have and is simply reflecting whats going on in the market.
Bars across the country also have weighed in on the availability of pumpkin beers when temperatures are still hovering in the high 80s.
We will not be tapping pumpkin beers until the fall, when the season is appropriate, says An Bui, the self-proclaimed chief beer officer at Mekong, a Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond that offers 50 revolving taps and more than 200 varieties of bottled beer. Seasonal beers are where you taste the fruit or the flower of that period, Bui says. Its so early. Whats going on?
Those who follow the retail trade also noted a possible reason for the premature arrival, aside from needing to start production earlier: capturing early demand.
When youre selling seasonal merchandise, theres only a certain profit pool available to be had from that, says Craig R. Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. If youre objective is to capture the maximum share of the profit pool, you want to have your goods out their early because youll be first in the marketplace.
And Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with The NPD Group, says brands and businesses trying to get that top-of-mind business are willing to risk the absurd even earlier than expected.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Stocks fell broadly on Wednesday, snapping a four-day winning streak for the Standard ...

City of San Diego launches sewer study
Last Tuesday, the city of San Diego launched a comprehensive assessment of its entire sewage collection and treatment infrastructure to identify opportunities to maximize recycling and reclaimation of wastewater. The $2 million study is a result of an agreement between the City of San Diego and San Diego Coastkeeper and the Surfrider Foundation last January.
The city of San Diego imports nearly 90 percent of its water, and the region is experiencing a growing water crisis as imports from these sources are declining due to overconsumption, climate change and legal decisions.

How To Remove Ink Stains From Skin
This article will teach you how to remove ink stains from skin. Removing ink from your skin depends on what kind of ink is on the skin. You'll get a couple of ideas on how to remove ink from skin here.
Try some of these items you might already have on hand:
- Baby oil
- Any kind of jam (yes, the kind you put on your sandwich)
- Baby wipes
- Tooth paste
- Baby oil – You'd think baby oil was just for babies. But it has other uses, including removing ink stains from skin.
- Jam – Of all things, grape jam is good for removing ink stains from skin. You put jam on the stain, wipe it and then follow up with a rinse or a wet wash cloth since it will be messy.
- Baby wipes have other uses – Rub the ink stain off with a baby wipe.
- Toothpaste for stains - Rub toothpaste on the ink stain. Wipe the toothpaste residue off of the skin. That is another way to remove an ink stain from skin.
Everyone's skin shed's a layer every day, regardless of whether or not you are trying to get rid of any kind of stain. Attempting to removing an ink stain with one of the above methods is a life saver. No one really wants to go around with an ink stain on their face, arm, forehead or any other body part. Not when you can usually get rid an ink stain on the skin one way or another using ingredients that are nice to the skin.
