Healthy Habits: Cut Down on Harmful Fats and Oils
Meat and dairy products, big hitters in the standard American diet, are big on fat.
The surprise is that from the early 1900s till now, the lion's share of dietary-fat increases in the typical American diet has come from fats and oils things like vegetable shortening, margarine, and refined salad and cooking oils.2
Fats and oils are often categorized together under the single term fats. As you read, please keep that in mind. The world of fats can be a confusing one, and yet your health depends upon a good, basic understanding.
Let me see if I can't melt down a ton of information into a few basic facts to help you keep your fats (and oils) straight.
Fat Facts
Fats are found in both the animal and plant kingdoms. In fact, every living thing contains some amount of fat. This is true because all cell membranes (both animal and plant) contain fatty acids.3
Fats are mixtures of different fatty acids: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. They differ in their composition, depending upon which fatty acid predominates. For instance:
- Beef fat, classified as saturated = 7.1 grams per tablespoon also contains 6.0 grams monounsaturated plus 0.5 grams polyunsaturated.4
- Olive oil, classified as monounsaturated = 9.8 grams per tablespoon also contains 1.9 grams saturated plus 1.2 grams polyunsaturated.5
Saturated fat is the "bad boy" of the fat world, for the following reasons:
Excess cholesterol Saturated fat stimulates your liver to overproduce cholesterol. Our bodies need cholesterol as building blocks for cell membranes, digestive juices, and sex hormones, but like many things, too much of a good thing is not good. One thing leads to another, and all of a sudden you've got a major health crisis on your hands.
Circulatory diseases As all this cholesterol finds a home in our arteries, it begins to shut off the flow of blood and oxygen to our various organs and body parts. As a result, they begin to deteriorate. Nasty things happen, depending upon which arteries are being clogged, like chest pains, heart attacks, strokes, lung problems, gangrene in the legs, blindness, loss of hearing, sexual impotence.
Cancer Diets high in saturated fats have also been linked to a number of cancers, including those of the colon and breast the second and third most prevalent killers among cancers after lung cancer. Other types we could be developing as we eat our way through 140 to 170 grams of fat a day (the average daily consumption of an adult American)6 include cancers of the gallbladder, pancreas, prostate, uterus, and ovaries just to name a few.
Saturated fat, solid at room temperature, is predominant in animal fats such as butter and lard. Coconut and palm oils are also very high in saturated fat. And believe it or not, all margarines and vegetable shortenings, even though they are made from healthier oils, are saturated fat as finished products. They become so as a result of the hydrogenation process they undergo to become solids.
"In the process of making liquid corn oil, safflower oil, and all other 'polyunsaturated' oils into margarine," writes David Reuben, M.D., "they are transformed into plain, ordinary 'saturated' oils. That has to be one of the greatest unexposed scandals in history. By hardening the vegetable oils, the margarine sellers are offering you the very saturated fats they claim to be helping you avoid."7
And as long as we're talking about margarines and shortenings, you must be warned about another negative. When you heat a polyunsaturated vegetable oil you begin to change the nature of its fatty acids. High heat, which is used to make margarine and shortenings, forms substances in these products called "trans-fatty" acids. These unnatural substances, which our bodies cannot effectively use, have been linked to circulatory diseases and cancer.8 Margarine and shortenings just don't have anything going for them nutritionally-in fact, they are damaging to our bodies. Unfortunately, many of the bakery products at our local supermarkets contain one or more of these products.

Ready, Get Set, Jet Setfeatured
And so, New York Fashion Week is in full swing. I'll post my highlights on the blog soon – right now I'm loving cocoon silhouettes, the Ming warrior style at Jason Wu and the white and gold gowns at Prabal Gurung (the latter is snow queen mixed with 70s disco and a bit of super hero thrown in – and yes, it totally works.) You can see photos of the shows on Now Fashion.
Fashion stops for no-one and the inescapable task of packing for my London trip took precedence this weekend. I'm travelling within England as well as across the Atlantic next week and Koza came to my rescue with this perfectly sized Rajani travel tote to make my life easy. The compartments are perfect for organising my carry on, with the laptop pouch and magazine sleeve a
Psychologist who is behind on reading her research papers fashion blogger's dream.
My travel outfit is a combination of brights, neons, nudes and tailoring. (Oh, FYI, there is a very necessary pair of flats in my bag, although I am also one of those flyers who will always wear the free socks). This is a combination I'm hugely fond of right now but I feel that my way with neon is only in the accessories. This skinny fluorescent belt from ASOS is perfect along with the faded yellow tee from Gap. I love how the belt stands out against the blue legging jeans too.
I've had this jacket from River Island for years – a label I really want to visit back in London as their spring collection includes some really interesting prints, check out this pink scarf pink blazer as an example.
Photos by the amazing Lydia Hudgens.
And so without further ado I am almost ready for the off. Gah I hate packing though.
What do you wear to travel, Blog Reader? And how do you wear neons?

Cheap flights to London
Vayama™ knows LondonThe British Museum is one of the world's greatest museums, and best of all, it is always free. The British Library is home to manuscripts of famous books such as Alice in Wonderland and Jane Eyre as well as the original Magna Carta and a Gutenberg Bible. Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the royal family, is open to the public during certain times of the year. Visitors flock to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard. If you're into theatre, then London's West End, the equivalent of New York's Broadway, is the place for you.
Outside of LondonFor those who want to see less of the city and more of the countryside, visit the outer boroughs of London and check out the numerous farms, golf courses, theatres and horse riding attractions located there. Fashionistas will be pleased to note that people in London are very fashion conscious. Visit Oxford Street, Regent Street, Bond Street, Brick Lane, Soho and Beauchamp Place for some of the best shopping in Europe. Enjoy all that London has to offer by booking your flights to London today.
Explore London
The flights London welcomes are bringing in visitors who are keen to experience a bustling capital city and with so many flights London is sure to keep giving tourists what they want in terms of entertainment and history.
There is so much to do, your feet might ache from all the walking. If that happens, hop on a London bus or take the underground. It is a far cry from the flights London receives but will help to get your bearings.
Shopping in London
Shopping is one of the main reasons why many people flock here. During high season and the lead-up to Christmas, the central streets are packed, especially Oxford Street, Regent's Street and Carnaby Street. Here you will find famous names such as Selfridges and Liberty.
If markets are more your thing, try the ones in Camden, where you will come across a weird and wonderful array of merchandise and people. You can find small curiosities, vintage clothing and food from around the world. Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill is best known for collectibles and antiques, while Spitalfields Market in the East End is the place to go for records and books.
Relax in the park
With so many flights London could be overrun but it is surprisingly easy in this populated capital to find some peace and quiet as the place is littered with open spaces. Finding an area not bustling with throngs of people is as it is. Some of the Royal Parks are St James's, Green Park, Richmond Park and Hyde Park, each having their own unique selling points.
Hyde Park is popular because of the Serpentine, the lake where you can swim and boat. Richmond Park has herds of red and fallow deer roaming freely across the heath, and Regent's Park is home to London Zoo and an open air theatre for summer plays.
London's architecture
If you cannot get tickets for one of those, why not try a West End show. Many reduced tickets are on sale on the day at the Tkt booth in Leicester Square. It is advisable to first book your flights London will wait.
One of the most famous places in London is Trafalgar Square with Nelson's Column in the centre, having stood there proudly since 1843. The pigeons are notorious scavengers but with a ban on feeding them, they are not so prevalent nowadays.
This means a better view of the surrounding buildings including the National Gallery that houses Caravaggio masterpieces, St Martin-in-the-Fields, the parish church for Buckingham Palace, and Admiralty Arch erected for Queen Victoria.
Book a flight
There are so many flights London handles every day that you could be baffled by the choice. The flights London has are varied but if you choose to fly with Vayama, you can be assured of getting one of the best bargains around.

Maple Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
I have been seeing a lot of tasty looking pumpkin recipes on food blogs lately so I wanted to do a pumpkin dish for my thanksgiving dinner dessert. While searching I came across a recipe for mini pumpkin cheesecakes on Pinch My Salt. The pumpkin cheesecake recipe also happened to have maple syrup, falling into the maple theme that I had going for my thanksgiving dinner. The original recipe called for 14 minutes of cooking time which I though was little light but I guess it would be fine for mini cheesecakes. My cheesecakes were a bit bigger and I ended up cooking them for closer to 40 minutes before they looked done. I topped the cheesecake with a maple mascarpone cream. The pumpkin cheesecakes were a great finish to a tasty thanksgiving dinner. I really liked the pumpkin flavour in the cheesecake. Luckily I still have a lot of pumpkin puree to use in other recipes.
Maple Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake(makes 2 servings)
Printable Recipe
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 8 ounce package cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg (slightly beaten)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1. Mix the graham cracker, brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg.
2. Press the mixture into the bottom of two 4 inch spring form pans.
3. Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl until smooth.
4. Pour the mixture into the spring form pans.
5. Bake in a preheated 325F oven until it is set, about 45-60 minutes.
Note: This recipe makes enough for 2 4 inch spring form pans. Triple the recipe for an 8 inch spring form pan and quadruple the recipe for a 10 inch spring form pan.

Is every fart of the Mir code repository newsworthy?
Phoronix: Mir Display Server Now Uses XKB Common
Similar to Wayland, Mir now is using the xkbcommon library...
Is every fart of the Mir code repository newsworthy?
Daniel Stone must be carefull about it, if it happens that:
1) Canonical do not know how XKB works or
2) Canonical needs to control the project
XKB will forked. Sorry, it's company policy.
I'm asking for it one more time - i know that your butts hurt, but stop this (pro|anti)(Mir|Wayland) nonsense. I'm a Ubuntu fan, I'm looking forward for UnityNext and Mir, but that's what happening on this forum (and not only) since Canonical's announcement is ridiculous, childish and pointless. Writing "Wayland" or "Mir" causes a chain reaction of shitstorm. Come on guys, is this the way the OpenSource community behaves?!

I thought we were talking about a framework, not politics...
Seriously, you fanatics should calm down.
I'm OK with using FSF-compliant technologies, but hell, I'm using whatever I like, and more important what I find more useful.
i think this is the end of the M$ Zombie Mono..
I whish the devs the best.
That said; great day both for MS and for FLOSS.
Who needs Mono to create apps anyway? Are they lazy to learn other languages or simply incompetent to use alternatives?
If you can't code in Java then you can't code. If you are lazy then I don't want to run your software as I hate fat software. And who doesn't?
To the idiots who celebrate when developers lose their jobs: a big, warm fuck you. You have just scraped the bottom of the barrel, wishing your fellow humans pain and misery. Those people have families and children to feed, yet you laugh at their loss - fuck you.
To the Novell developers who just lost their jobs: I wish you the best and I hope you all find new jobs soon.
This is a sad day for FLOSS. No matter if your political views agreed or not, Novell was a significant contributor to the community.
not to meantion Visual Studio, I've yet to see an IDE powerful and nice as that one.
don't get me wrong: I don't like Microsoft and in most cases their software is just plain bullshit. But when it comes to Visual Studio and C#, they did something wonderful. And thanks to mono, we can enjoy that, too.
yes, I am a C# programer. Yes I do want to learn C++ sometime, because I want to go "deeper" but as long as there is no IDE for linux that is capable of auto-completion and has a proper design, it's just pain in the ass. And yes I'm wondering how people could write such great things like the linux kernel and gnome withhout an IDE.

In the late 1800s, the sugar plantations in Hawaii were booming and the contract laborers were the backbone of the industry. Between 1885 and 1900, over 70,000 Japanese immigrants crossed the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii to work in the flourishing cane fields. Low wages and unexpected expenses soon caught up with the newcomers and many found themselves in destitute circumstances.
During this period, relief to needy persons was provided according to ethnicity by various charity organizations such as the Hawaiian Relief Society, British Benevolent Society and Ladies' Portuguese Charitable Association.
Although several Japanese charity groups were formed, these organizations provided limited relief and many were in existence for only a short time. However, one such organization, the Japanese Benevolent Society, survived over the years to become the forerunner to Kuakini Medical Center.
The Society was established as a voluntary association in 1892 and incorporated in 1899 as an eleemosynary corporation for the purpose of giving relief to the Japanese in Hawaii whose needs resulted from illness, poverty, accident or other causes. Shortly after its incorporation, the Society thought about constructing a hospital, but no immediate action was taken until after disaster struck.
In December 1899, many residents in the Chinatown section of Honolulu were afflicted with bubonic plague and the entire area was quarantined. The Board of Health burned many structures in order to eliminate the contamination. In January 1900, one fire got out of control and razed the entire area, leaving thousands of Japanese immigrants without homes, food or clothing. The Society provided emergency relief and then immediately started plans to build a hospital.
The Society did not have an endowment and depended on membership dues and donations to finance its activities. After raising enough funds, they purchased a site with more than half an acre of land located in the Kapalama district of Honolulu, south of King Street at the end of a narrow lane. In July 1900, a two-story wooden building containing 38 beds was completed and called the Japanese Charity Hospital. It operated for two years at full capacity and soon became inadequate for patient needs.
In August 1902, the hospital moved a few miles away into another two-story wooden structure that had 40 beds. For fifteen years, the Society maintained this hospital until it, too, became overcrowded and rundown.
By April 1917, funds from the Society and public contributions (which included a special donation from Emperor Taisho and the Empress of Japan) helped build a modern facility at the hospital's third and present site on Kuakini Street. The 16-building hospital had 70 beds and was equipped with up-to-date appliances and facilities. The institution, whose name was shortened to "Japanese Hospital," was situated on almost four acres of land and had abundant space for the immediate as well as future needs of the hospital.
The Japanese Hospital's nursing school was started in 1931 and provided a three-year training program for an average of 20 nurses per class. Initially, the nursing program was patterned after the training schools in Japan and used Japanese language classes. However, this gradually changed during the 1940s and the school's faculty began working with the Territory of Hawaii's Board of Nursing to upgrade the school.
In 1932, many of the Japanese immigrant men who had worked on the plantations had reached retirement age, were unmarried and had no families to care for them.
In order to assist these elderly men who were not acutely ill but needed a protective environment, the Society built the Japanese Home of Hawaii on the grounds of the hospital using community donations. The 50-bed facility, the forerunner of the present Kuakini Home, provided care, food and shelter for these elderly men.
A major expansion program that was completed in 1939 increased the hospital's size to 100 beds and provided more services with the addition of X-ray, surgical, pediatric and maternity facilities.
A portion of the new building (designed with a copper dome) was called the Imperial Gift Memorial Building in recognition of the financial support Kuakini received from the Imperial Family of Japan. (In 1934, Emperor Showa and the Empress of Japan donated 10,000 yen for the hospital expansion program.)
With the onset of World War II in 1941, the U. S. Army took control of over half of the hospital's facilities. During the war, the hospital was called the "147th General Hospital Oahu." Due to the fact that Kuakini's Board consisted of descendants of Japanese immigrants, Kuakini was the only hospital in the United States to be occupied by the U.S. Army. In 1942, the hospital changed its name to Kuakini Hospital and Home.
There is a controversy over how the hospital received its name. A few sources indicate that the hospital was named after Chief Kuakini, who was the acting governor of Oahu in the early 1800s and the brother-in-law of King Kamehameha I. Others dispute this fact and say the hospital was named after the street it was on. The hospital was returned to civilian control in 1945.
Along with its new identity, Kuakini had broadened its scope of services from initially caring for the Japanese immigrants to providing health care services for the entire community. With this change, there came a need for larger and newer facilities to adequately provide quality patient care.
A major fund drive in 1951 financed the construction of the hospital's Ewa wing and part of its Waikiki wing which increased Kuakini's bed count to 140 beds.
The hospital's nursing school was accredited in 1951 but due to continuing problems in faculty recruitment, the school was closed and no students were admitted in 1952. The last class graduated in 1955.
Kuakini received its first accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (now called the Joint Commission) in 1954. At that time, there were 235 employees, 63 full-time registered nurses and 225 doctors on the medical staff.
With its modern, well-equipped facilities, the hospital was an excellent training ground for interns in need of further medical experience. Physicians from Japan came to Kuakini to receive training in American medicine before going to mainland hospitals for additional experience. Senior medical technology students from the University of Hawaii spent a year in the hospital's laboratory for training and nursing students obtained their clinical experience in medical and surgical nursing at Kuakini.
In 1956, the governing Board of Kuakini authorized the use of an architectural consultant to assist in the development of a master plan for future physical expansion at Kuakini.
By 1958, the hospital's internship program was accredited by the American Medical Association and was also recognized by the State Department as a designated Exchange-Visitor Program which permitted Kuakini to bring doctors from foreign countries to the hospital where they obtained their postgraduate medical training. To provide housing for the hospital interns, Kuakini built two apartment buildings in 1963.
In the late 1950s, more physicians became specialists and pediatric and obstetric patients began to seek these physicians as well as the specialty hospitals for their care. With the resulting low occupancy rate of its obstetrics and pediatrics units and the need for more medical/surgical beds, Kuakini made the difficult decision to eliminate its obstetrics department in 1964 and its pediatrics department in 1967. This decision not only benefited Kuakini through the availability of more beds for medical and surgical services, but it also helped increase census at the specialty hospitals in the community through the elimination of duplicate services at Kuakini.
Through the years, Kuakini has kept pace with the community's demand for quality health care. The hospital was renamed Kuakini Medical Center in 1975 to reflect its expanded programs to the community and in celebration of its 75th anniversary. Kuakini has the distinct honor of being the last surviving hospital established by Japanese immigrants in the United States.Today, Kuakini Medical Center is committed to providing quality health care to the community through a wide range of comprehensive services and programs. These programs and services are available to everyone regardless of ethnicity, sex, physical disability, age, religious affiliation or ability to pay.
Kuakini is a 250-bed acute care hospital accredited by the Joint Commission and licensed to operate in the State of Hawaii. Kuakini is certified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and is a community teaching hospital affiliated with the family practice, medical, surgical and transitional residency programs and geriatric fellowship program at the University of Hawaii (UH) School of Medicine. Kuakini also carries affiliations with registered nurse and licensed practical nurse training programs with the UH School of Nursing and community colleges, and Hawaii Pacific University; and allied health professional training programs at the community colleges.

So, your old wooden dining room chair finally came apart after being loose and wiggly when anyone sat on it (for the last two years!). Hopefully no one hit the floor when it broke. You go to the big box home center to buy some glue to repair the chair and are confronted by six shelves full of so many different types of adhesives that your head starts to spin. All you want to do is put your chair back together, but what product would be the best for that task?

Rooftop Wind Farm Honeywell WT6500 Wind Turbine by WindTronics, $10,000 (est.; includes installation) Kevin HandAmong homeowners, wind energy has never caught on, in large part because personal turbines are often noisy and inefficient. Most turbines need strong winds to turn a heavy central generator and create current, a design with two main disadvantages. First, the gears make a lot of noise. Plus, the generator is positioned at the blades' center, which moves at one tenth the speed of the periphery. And less speed translates to less power.Honeywell's wheel-shaped WT6500 takes an entirely new approach. Magnets mounted near the tips of its 20 blades sweep through an outer ring of copper coils to produce a current, making the entire wheel the generator. Because this arrangement traps energy from the fast-moving blade tips and eliminates the heavy central generator, the WT6500 can pull a current from winds as slow as two miles an hour (most home turbines need 8mph gusts). Better suited to home use than other turbine designs, the wheel is six feet in diameter, whisper-quiet, and can produce up to 1,500 kilowatt-hours of power per year
Drang, the advantage here over the Savonious is that the fan is the generator.
The Savonious still has to turn an alternator, and is far less efficient. At least that's the way I understand it.

Are you saying you don't think the desktop needs a Free toolkit on which to build?
The community is expected to fill in gaps it feels it needs (e.g. Gtk+3) and take care of packaging (e.g. for major distros).
I guess that makes me a major part of that.
It doesn't work, however, for Netflix. Which is all people care about. When people moan about Moonlight, what they're really saying is "Waaaah waaaah waaaah I can't use a proprietary DRM'd video service that I pay for, because the Moonlight developers have had to do every bit of monkeywork themselves, since the community never thought to pitch in. Waaaaaaaah"
But have you considered Gtk+? It's cross-platform and has great tools in MonoDevelop, working fine on Windows and Mac when you develop on Linux. MonoDevelop 4 shows how good a Gtk+ app can look on non-Linux platforms.
The problem is that it doesn't matter if your app is responsive and lightweight - a parade of morons will still shout from the rooftops about how bloated and slow it is, because they are bound by religion to say so, not by any commitment to facts or reality.

still there! along with High Places now too
Matt and I were discussing this during Matador, and I was telling him and Lee that this album reminds me quite a bit of the third Velvet Underground album, in that it's a subtle shift in tone that creates a subdued, ingratiating album rather than one full of big songs.
Says the guy posting on a message board at 1:45. You should stop posting stupid shit.
This album is easily my favorite of the year so far. "Desire Lines" is contagious and "He Would Have Laughed" makes me cry.
Not at all. I think it's an apt comparison whereas your contribution is just an insult. Go ahead, throw out that Elvis Costello quote, because it's still not true. I know other people have agreed with me in this comparison, as I've talked with Lee, Matt and Chris about this and they all thought it was incredibly apt.
Or should I just post, "OMG ALBUM OF THE YEAR LOLZORS! Glowsticks brah!" Some of us enjoy having musical discussions on here, and comparison and analogy are forms of discussion that can elicit some actual thought rather than simple blanket statements about the relative worth of a piece of work. I was sussing out the reasons why the album is affecting me so much; if you're not interested in that, there's a good thread about Daft Punk I'm sure you'd enjoy.
bmack doesn't really need anyone standing up for him, but jesus christ, dude. He's always got a really great, vibrant way of describing his tastes, a good knowledge of what he likes, and is generally one of the better posters here, and on top of that, you telling him to get out more when his post pretty clearly states that he was having that conversation "out", at matador at 21, and with another person. For fucks sake, there's no reason to shit all over him.
That was my favorite part. I need to get out when I go to Vegas for concerts.
This place is for substantive musical analysis, so I'm obviously not trying to discourage it (I'm all for it, see what I wrote earlier: "Their songs lack crescendos and I feel like their albums are too anticlimactic for my preference"). What you wrote however sounded pretty damn forced and ostentatious and I felt like I'd be doing you an injustice had I not let you know.
I was drunk and went about it in a douchey way though and came off a lot more acerbic than I had intended, so my bad on that. It was intended to be constructive criticism rather than an insult, if you'd ever believe it.
edit: And what Elvis Costello quote are you referring to?
It's neither forced nor ostentatious in my opinion, and I think that, in terms of this album anyway, what I said may be a way to provide some entry into their sound. It doesn't have the crescendos of the past work, and it's much more of a tame, slowly developing album with songs that, at first glance, can seem minor (See also, Jesus, Pale Blue Eyes, et. al.) The subtlety in the songs develops over multiple listens and the interplay between songs and how they develop instrumental motifs over the course of the record lead it to be an album that needs time and won't have as rabid a following as the past ones, but instead will be that darker, more nuanced record, a la The Velvet Underground, that people truly love.
The difference to me is songs like Pale Blue Eyes and Jesus aren't apathetic or nonsensical in the least bit, so the emotions and music may be subtle but they're also demanding and hence did not at all feel minor to me upon the first few listens. I've always given Deerhunter a pass for not having strong lyrics or vocals, but this album goes a bit too far in terms of this decadence when unsupported by it's sleepy instrumental counterpart. I still like it (and have always noticed the VU comparison fwiw), I just wonder if critics and fans alike champion Deerhunter more for their contrary style than their actual music.
What Costello quote were you referring to earlier?
Writing about music is like dancing to architecture - Elvis Costello
Boring band makes boring album.
I think bmack's VU comparison could not be more spot-on.
First off, in just the reaction to the record as a whole. People who loved Microcastle seemed to be a little put off when they didn't hear another album full of "Nothing Ever Happened" or "Never Stops"-type songs. Much in the same way that back in the day I'm sure people had a similar reaction when they got "Candy Says" and "Pale Blue Eyes" from the self-titled Velvet Underground album when they were expecting more songs like "Venus In Furs" and "I'm Waiting For the Man."
And the comparison is completely justified even in regards to the ebb and flow of the album. The transition on VU from "Candy Says" to "What Goes On" and later "Jesus" to "Beginning to See the Light" can easily be compared to the same feeling you get when "Sailing" goes right into "Memory Boy" and "Helicopter" fades into "Fountain Stairs."
And the creepiest thing of all is how similar the album covers look.
saw Deerhunter/Casino vs Japan last night. Was more excited for CvJ and he did not disappoint - really enjoyed his set. The guitar drones flowed very smoothly into the downtempo beats he dropped. Loved it.
Deerhunter played for a little over an hour, opened with Desire Lines (which sounds better on album). They were very enjoyable, but I'm glad it was only about an hour long. Their music is still a bit too repetitive for me. "Nothing Ever Happened To Me" was great as always.
I can vouch for Bryan being seen in public and having that exact conversation.
as for the album in question...i'm digging it. not yet ready to proclaim it the best of the year, but it's definitely worthy of frothy discussion.
I caught the Matt & Kim set and was looking mildly forward to it, came away highly unimpressed.
Just listening to the this for the first time now and I love it. MicroCastle was one of my favorite releases and I dont think I would have ever heard them if it wasnt for the board. I saw them play a small festival in FL last year where they were like the first band on and the show was pretty damn great.
Pretty sure ill be at the Slim's show. Itll definitely be louder :D
Have had this album on repeat, definitely one of the better releases this year.
I really can't get into the first 4 songs on the album. The rest of the album is pretty good... but still doesn't really command much of my attention. Desire Lines and He Would Have Laughed are pretty much the only two songs that make me come back wanting more.
Your ears are definitely broken if Revival doesn't hook you Josh. You should probably go to a doctor for that.
I can't get enough of Halcyon Digest, it is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the year. Really excited to see them again in a few weeks. I almost forgot about seeing them at Coachella, I was thinking it had been since ATP since I saw them last, regardless it feels like too long.
When I saw them at the Detroit Bar they played for about 90minutes. Also, when they opened for Spoon earlier this year they played just under 1 hour. So I would hope their headlining set is a bit longer....
How long was CvsJ's set and do you know what he played?

Disc Golf Ice Bowl teeing off on Saturday
Friday, January 25, 2013
DOVER — If the sport of disc golf sounds interesting to you, then you may want to check out the Bellamy Park Disc Golf Ice Bowl this Saturday at Bellamy Park in Dover.
According to BPDG member Mike Talon the average disc hole is 300 feet, and golfers use as many as three discs (like golf clubs) to play each basket. You would, for instance, have a disc for the initial toss or drive, followed by an approach disc (like a golf iron) and then a disc akin to a golf putter to finish off the basket. Today's discs are much smaller and heavier than traditional flying discs, typically about 8 or 9 inches in diameter and weighing between three and six ounces.
Players tee off from a concrete tee pad and continue tossing their disc until they reach the basket. Like regular golf, a score for each hole or basket is drawn from the amount of throws it takes you to put the disc in the basket — the fewer the better.
Talon said disc golf is easier to play in the winter than conventional golf because all you need to do is shovel off the tee pads.

Crap performance + no open driver: business as usual for NVidia.
Phoronix: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
Days prior to AMD's release of the ATI Radeon HD 5750 and Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards, NVIDIA released their GeForce G 210 and GeForce GT 220 graphics cards. Both of these NVIDIA graphics cards are for low-end desktop systems, but part of what makes them interesting is that they are the first NVIDIA GPUs built upon a TSMC 40nm process. To Linux users these graphics cards are also interesting in that they fully support all of the current features of VDPAU for Linux video decoding, including MPEG-4 support. We picked up an XFX GT220XZNF2 GeForce GT 220 1GB graphics card for this round of benchmarking on Ubuntu Linux.
Crap performance + no open driver: business as usual for NVidia.

These are only how old? Ill give you a hand, Geforce 8 is November 8, 2006.
Business as usual for nvidia? More like business 3 years old.
To compare, the R700 is June 25, 2008. You are looking at what is a 2 year difference between the nvidia offerings and ATI ones. Doesnt seem like much when you are purchasing an oven but in this game it certainly does. This is just a crap offering by nvidia, that seems to be targeted towards HTPC's. I think this deals more of a blow to S3 then anything else.
Finally an ATI vs. NVIDIA benchmark. I've been waiting for such a benchmark on Phoronix for as long as I know about Phoronix.
Sorry, but you need to scale them down to 0-20% to show the difference, current scaling 0-100 shows absolutely nothing ... havent you seen that before posting?
Low end, performance of cards 2 generations behind, 40nm process, and they STILL need a fan on it? What market segment is that possibly going to fill, the deaf HTPC user?
The benefit of this I don't quite get, and it has also left reviewers at other hardware sites scratching their heads. MPEG-4 ASP is not very computationally intensive codec, today's low-end CPUs can decode HD video in MPEG-4 ASP without problems.Originally Posted by http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_gt_220&num=9
Most of the market that will be using these are the low end desktop market, for those that want light gaming capability for WoWcrack in thier underpowered bargain basement OEM box a.k.a. Dell, HP/Compaq, Gateway, Acer/eMachines, anything that will accept a gpu that wont require them to buy a new PSU to replace the anaemic one that their junker came with.
Sources for both companies idiocy: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/d...ics_Cards.html
And the Twiter fight... http://www.hardocp.com/news/2009/10/...ng_on_twitter/
I guess it means that the rumours about them having chip yields on the GT300 at only 1.7%, shame since they've been kicked out of their chipset business, they may go belly up if they can't pull their act together, if that happens hopefully it wont be Intel that snags them up, maybe a merger between VIA and Nvidia would work, it would at least give us a decent 3 way fight in the x86 market.

How to build a pergola
A pergola is basically an open roof, set on posts or columns. They are great for encouraging trailing plants such as wisteria or honeysuckle to spread up and over them and providing welcome shade in a sunny patch.
Pergolas can be placed at the entrance to your garden, over a pathway, against a wall to shade a seating area or are ideal for framing an ornament.

Reading Resolution
Resolved: Keep A Reading List
American are inveterate list makers. We routinely make grocery lists, to-do lists. Magazines get our attention with "5 Luscious Desserts that Burn Fat and Help You Lose 10 Pounds" or "7 Top-Performing Investment Funds". We love Letterman's Top Ten lists of whatever. Librarians and readers eagerly look forward to the many versions of the Best Books of the Year. Here's another idea to add to the lists you maintain: record the books you read for a year.
It's a deceptively simple idea, but the benefits and pleasures can be profound. At the end of the year, or anytime along the way, you will be able to track your reading activity and realize a sense of accomplishment. You can reflect on what you've enjoyed, learned, how you've changed. Your list will help you to recall the paths your life has taken, the events occurring as you read particular books. You will be able to mine your list for ideas that may be useful in school or work or community service projects
How to Make a List
If you like the simplicity of writing, the texture of paper and the sensation of putting pen to paper, get a notebook or journal and record the date you finished the book, the author and title. That's it. You can add notes if you like, perhaps for category (fiction, nonfiction, mystery, western, biography), maybe a sentence summary, maybe a quote you liked.
If you like the ability to search by various keys, for instance, author or title, create a spreadsheet in Excel or other software. Keep it simple with date, author, and title, or if you want to track more details, add fields for publication date, your ratings, words to look up, phrases you'd like to remember, anything that strikes your fancy.
Perhaps, like many these days, you would like to keep your list online. Online lists have the advantage of being accessible from any computer anywhere, they can be enhanced by features of the online site, and they can be shared and discussed with others. Here are some mostly free examples:
LibraryThing (www.librarything.com) is the most popular of the book listing offerings. You can create a catalog of books using Amazon or the Library of Congress or other libraries for the information in your own database. You can add descriptive tags (mystery, Agatha Award, Alex Cross, Mary's 2010 Reading List) to help categorize your books as you like. You can also find other readers who have tastes similar to yours and engage in a discussion with them if you choose. LibraryThing is free to track up to 200 books. If you want to catalog more, there is a nominal one-time charge.
At www.goodreads.com, see what your friends are reading, keep track of what you've read and what you'd like to read, get book recommendations from people you know, form a book club, answer book trivia, and collect your favorite quotes. You can see on the home page the most read books of the week ("The Girl Who Played with Fire" by Stieg Larsson is currently the most read), best books ever, best books of the century, best young adult books, worst books of all time.
With Shelfari (www.shelfari.com), you can put your books on a shelf or in a list for posting on a blog. This site compiles the highest rated, most reviewed, and most comments added titles.
Books Well Read
At www.bookswellread.com, you can create a journal of books you read, with notes or whatever you want to record. You may choose to share your entries or keep them private. And you can post more than one entry per book.
What to Read
Read what you like. Read what interests you. Read to satisfy your curiosity. Read to stretch your imagination and broaden your horizons. What are you in the mood for? If you can tell us that, we can help you find something satisfying to read. For ideas, visit us at www.tcplweb.org or call 988-2541. Happy reading while you keep that list growing!

Really liked this recipe. Hubby doesn't like chives, so I just sprinkled some on mine. Since it is just the two of us, I diced the leftover chicken. I combined the leftover chicken and sauce with hot cooked pasta (or noodles) to make another meal.
Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce
From EatingWell: December 2005/January 2006, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)
Here's a sauce so delicious, it's missing only one thing: a little crunchy bread to dip in it. Make It a Meal: Serve with steamed asparagus or cauliflower, mashed potatoes or orzo pasta, and a glass of Vinho Verde.
108 Reviews for Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce
I made this tonight and loved loved loved it! It took me a little longer to make than it likely will in the future because I was double-checking the recipe every ten seconds, but even at that is was quick. I made the extra effort to have cooking white wine on hand and it was well worth it. My 18 month old, 4 year old and 6 year old all loved it as well. Highly recommend!!
very tasty!!! Will definitely make again. All of my family enjoyed it. Maybe not as much salt next time (was a little bit too salty).
very good!! I agree with a little less mustard b/c it goes a long way. Served with rice pilaf, the sauce with the rice was great.
I have made this recipe exactly as it appears and it is delicious--another time I didn't have the wine on hand so I used 2 oz. of gin to deglaze the pan (after sauteeing the shallots) and upped the amount of chicken broth a bit--so great!

About ECM
August 16 , 2013
Reviews of the Week
Acclaim from a German reviewer for the Christian Wallumrød Ensembles musical vision on
Archaik, Folk und Avantgarde gehen eine berückende Liaison ein. Zum wesentlichen strukturgebenden Element werden Pause und Stille. Eben Harmonium und Hardangerfiedel wird man von Trompete und Tenorsax ein zünftiges Jazzsolo gar nicht erst erwarten. Improvisiert wird hier mit Klängen bis zur Unhörbarkeit.
Berthold Klostermann, Fono Forum
The ECM debut of Swiss-Italian trio
Third Reel
is praised on London Jazz
The two opening tracks of Third Reel neatly represent the yin and yang of the trios stylistic approach: guitarist Roberto Piancas After All, an exploration of chordal colours (saxophonist/clarinettist Nicolas Massons description), is immediately followed by drummer Emanuele Maniscalcos Furious Seasons, an appropriately turbulent, almost grungy piece that transforms the band into a (tasteful) power trio. Between these two extremes lies a lot of musical territory, and Third Reel (conceived from the outset as a bass-less trio more responsibility for each player, as well as more risk-taking is Massons explanation for this) explore a great deal of it on this, their debut (eponymous) album. Although the instrumentation brings the superb trio formed by Paul Motian, Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano to mind (and the odd Third Reel track does feature Lovanoesque smoky, warbling tenor against Frisell-like guitar flickering and swooning), the Swiss/Italian trio is more firmly rooted in free music than its illustrious US predecessor [...] overall Third Reel is as original as it is absorbing, richly rewarding repeated immersion into its highly individual sonic world.

German daily Stuttgarter Zeitung on the box set
Selected Signs
- Music selected for the exhibition ECM - A Cultural Archaeology at Haus der Kunst Munich
Eicher und sein Mitstreiter Steve Lake hatten eine Reihe von Musikprogrammen produziert, die den flanierenden Ausstellungsbesucher zur Einkehr unter Kopfhörer einlud. Als 'Selected Signs' sind sie jetzt in einer 6-CD-Box gebündelt erschienen. Ein beiliegender Text stellt fest, dass dies nicht der Soundtrack der Ausstellung sei, sondern eine Weiterung und Alternative. Selten wird an das Konzept der Ausstellung angeknüpft, wenn etwa Steve Reich, Meredith Monk oder Egberto Gismonti zu hören sind, doch durchmessen diese dramaturgisch äußerst stimmig kompilierten 'Mixtapes' ein ungleich weiteres Feld. Hier trifft Heiner Goebbels auf György Kurtág, Colin Vallon auf Christian Wallumröd. Was passiert, wenn die Filmmusik von Andrej Dergatchev auf Molvaers 'Khmer' trifft? Colemans 'Lonely Woman' auf Robin Williamsons keltischen Folk? Welch ein Kosmos, der hier souverän ausgeschritten wird.
Ulrich Kriest, Stuttgarter Zeitung
The London Times salutes the Ensemble Belcantos take on medieval composer Hildegard von Bingens
Ordo Virtutum
Its unlikely that her Ordo Virtutum charting a souls struggle with evil in Gregorian plainchant has ever been interpreted like this. Sounding more like Stockhausen than sacred medieval music, this performance incorporates whispers, screams and a multiplicity of sonic layers. Different and stimulating.
Richard Morrison, The Times
The Huffington Post on the music of Dobrinka Tabakova as recorded on
String Paths
ECM have swooped down on 32-year old Dobrinka Tabakova with a hypnotic Cello Concerto and a Rameau-channeling Suite in Old Style for viola and chamber orchestra. The expressive range is riveting, piercingly beautiful and frequently radiant, and each of the pieces reveals an ingenious use of instrumental resources that enable the composer to paint with broad strokes. The performances by Janine Jansen and friends are brilliant and committed.
Laurence Vittes, Huffington Post
Valentin Silvestrov's
Sacred Songs
enchant the reviewer from Music Web International
The Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov may have come late to choral music, but this disc - the latest in ECMs series devoted to the composer - brings together his a cappella pieces written in 2006 and 2007. Appropriately enough the magnificent Kiev Chamber Choir, who also are featured in Sacred Works (ECM 2117), are recorded in the cathedral that forms part of St Michaels Golden-Domed Monastery, Kiev. [...]
Hugely refined, darkly sonorous and lit from within as if by an ancient light, this choir imbues Silvestrovs modern settings with a powerful sense of the vast and venerable. [...] This CD represents a perfect storm in that sublime music, first-rate singing and an exemplary recording conspire to create a very special disc indeed. Thats before one factors in good liner-notes by Paul Griffiths and packaging that exudes quality. Normally Id grumble about the lack of sung texts, but that seems churlish in the presence of such all-pervading artistry. Nourishing repertoire, ravishingly sung; a balm for the heart and soul.
Dan Morgan, Music Web International
British magazine Jazzwise gives the monastery St. Gerold credit for the atmosphere on
Night Sessions
by the Dowland Project
The skilful troupe take their inspiration from often miniscule amounts of medieval or slightly later notation and weave fresh ideas resourcefully around their often slender and highly diverse resources: for instance Theoleptus 22 is constructed out of Byzantine chant while Can vei la lauzeta mover is a 12th-century love song. Improvisation is at the core of the project, so the presence of a first-rate jazzer like John Surman alongside an early-music expert like Stephen Stubbs shouldnt surprise: Man in the Moon is an engagingly out-there mixture of moodily skittering instrumental invention and declamatory vocal which demonstrates what the different traditions can can cook up together. Even if the music isnt and doesnt aim to be authentic, theres plenty of evocative, acoustical period feel courtesy of the St. Gerold monastery in the Austrian Alps, which hosted the sessions.
Robert Shore, Jazzwise

Latest update : 2012-02-20
Russia: Putin seen behind bars in spoof video
A spoof video showing Vladimir Putin behind bars becomes Russia's latest Internet sensation. Dog lovers across America campaigning against Republican nomination candidate Mitt Romney. And a group of French streets artists paint graffiti using ketchup.
Russia: Putin seen behind bars in spoof video
Vladimir Putin behind bars, in a Moscow courtroom… This video was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday and has since been viewed over 3 million times. It is of course the result of some nifty video editing, and has been done in the style of a news report for Russia's state news channel. The voice over tells us that Vladimir Putin has been charged with "embezzling state funds", "abuse of power", "financial machinations" and "assisting in the preparation of acts of terrorism".
The video was made using footage from a documentary by German filmmaker Cyril Tuschi about former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovski who has been in prison since 2003. He was found guilty of theft and money laundering; a detractor of the Russian regime, he is considered by many as a political prisoner.
Lancelot, the production company behind the fake news report is apparently using it as a viral advertising campaign for one of their documentaries called "The Assassination of Russia" in which the security services are accused of orchestrating a series of bombings in Russia in 1999 to justify another war with Chechnya and help Vladimir Putin secure his grip on power as he looked to stay in office for a second term.
The success of this fake report showing the Prime Minister in the cage-like enclosure for defendants reflects his recent drop in popularity. With the presidential elections scheduled for the 4th of March, his critics are more determined than ever to stop him returning to the Kremlin. An appeal has been launched on social networks urging Moscow drivers to once again cover their cars in white and take part in fresh protests against Vladimir Putin on Saturday.
Dogs against Mitt Romney
Still in the running to win the Republican nomination for the US presidential elections this November, Mitt Romney has incurred the wrath of a rather specific category of the population; dog owners. They are reproaching the conservative candidate for abusing his Irish Setter around 30 years ago by putting it in a dog carrier and attaching it to the roof of his car for a long road trip. Up until now, the incident had gone more or less unnoticed, but with campaigning in full swing, it has now come back to haunt him.
A group called "Dogs against Romney" has been set up on Facebook and has already drawn over 27,000 members. Web users say in no way is this a partisan initiative, and the only problem they have with Romney is that he does not like animals.
Some have even decided to take things a step further. These protesters marched through the streets of New York, voicing their anger with Mitt Romney. Most of them were accompanied by their four legged friends as we can see in this report from online newspaper "The Huffington Post". Demonstrators believe the way the former governor for Massachusetts treated his animal is indicative of his personality and a man that can be so cruel to his dog is not fit to be President.
It could appear trivial but the incident has actually turned out to be a godsend for Mitt Romney's adversaries, who have wasted no time in using it to their advantage. In this campaign ad, one of his competitors for the Republican Nomination Newt Gingrich says this affair shows the Mormon candidate in a very poor light and if Romney wins the republican nomination, Barack Obama will use it against him during the presidential campaign.
Now trending on social networks
Barack Obama has asked American web users "what does 40 dollars mean to you?". The idea is to mobilize public opinion to promote the extension of the payroll tax cut that currently benefits 160 million Americans and is up for renewal at the end of the month. Many web users have been saying what they would do with the extra 40 dollars per fortnight the legislation will bring. The White House launched a similar campaign back in December, prompting congress to vote in favour of a two month extension.
Petitions on the Paris city hall website
« Prenez la main ! » or in English "take control". This is the slogan adopted by Paris City Hall to get residents of the capital more involved in its e-petitions system in place since 2009. Although this type of service has already proved highly popular in English speaking countries, this tool for local democracy is having trouble taking off in France. The principle is actually quite simple: anyone living in Paris has the right to start a petition, if 1 % of the city's population signs it, then it will be debated by a meeting of the City Council.
Video of the day
"Lyon bombing" a group of street artists from Lyon, France recently came up with idea of replacing their aerosol cans with tomato ketchup… and you can see what they got up to in this video. It's actually part of an online competition run by a well-known American ketchup brand and may well inspire graffiti artists the world over.
