Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has called on Republicans who supported Elena Kagan's nomination for solicitor general to also back her bid for the Supreme Court.
Reid (D-Nev.) declared Kagan is a good replacement for retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, despite reservations of some liberals who worry about her lack of a judicial record and advocacy for a compromise on partial-birth abortion during the Clinton administration.
"She has a strong belief that the Supreme Court should be a forum where the rule of law wins out and where people from every walk of life can receive a fair hearing," Reid said Wednesday in a statement after meeting with Kagan.
Reid called on Republicans to back Kagan: "After a fair review of her record and individual meetings, I believe that Elena Kagan should receive strong bipartisan support similar to that which she received just last year when she was confirmed as solicitor general."
Seven Republicans voted to confirm Kagan as President Barack Obama's solicitor general last year.
Kagan then met with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) shortly after 11 a.m.
"I know this will be a challenging process to go through," McConnell told Kagan at a brief photo opportunity with the press. "It always is for a lifetime appointment of this consequence.
"But I want to assure her and assure the public that we intend to go through a thorough process," McConnell said. "It is, however, not a rush to judgment, and we'll have an opportunity to examine the solicitor general's credentials and evaluate that, of course principally through the Judiciary Committee."
Some Republicans question if Kagan's close ties to the administration will influence her judgment on the High Court.
McConnell raised those concerns Wednesday morning during a floor speech before he met with Kagan.
"In our constitutional order, justices are not on anybody's team," McConnell said. "They have a very different role to play. As a Supreme Court justice, Ms. Kagan's job description would change dramatically. Far from being a member of the president's team, she'd suddenly be serving as a check on it."
Kagan has been accompanied on her Senate rounds by Phil Schiliro, assistant to the president for legislative affairs, and White House counsel Robert Bauer.
Kagan is scheduled to meet with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) at noon and Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), the ranking Republican on Judiciary, at 12:45 p.m.
She is scheduled to meet with Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) at 2:30 p.m. and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) at 3:15 p.m. She will meet with Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) at 4:00 p.m. and possibly with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) later in the day.

In what seems to be the precursor to a real-life Terminator movie, dozens of anti-robot protesters rallied near South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, yesterday, protesting, of all things, the rise of artificial intelligence technology. They were evidently concerned by the rise of artificial intelligence, and showed their disdain for 'thinking machines' with signs, shirts, and other protest memorabilia.

.. The Great British Public Toilet Map
The Great British Public Toilet Map launched last Wednesday 19th November on World Toilet Day*
Previous versions of the map have existed since 2011, but this is now the largest publicly accessible toilet database in the UK by some way. It has over 9500 toilets, and I'd be confident of saying that the map will help you to find toilets no matter where you live.
If for some inexplicable reason it doesn't, you can add, edit and remove toilets until it does! We've had over 1000 toilets added this week.
There are also a tiny minority of locations where the data has gone a bit loopy with duplicate loos or inaccurate locations. Don't be shy about removing those that you think are wrong, or telling us at email@example.com about parts of the country that may need a little attention. You'll be doing us a huge favour.
You can read more about the map in The Mirror, The Guardian or The Telegraph. Or view our press release.
*As well as World Toilet Day, it was also GIS Day (Geographic Information System). They might as well name it Toilet Map Day.
…Transport for London
The toilet data deluge continues..
Now it's Transport for London's turn, who are providing open data about toilet facilities on their network, spotted and shared with me by @OwenBoswarva on Twitter.
I don't pretend to understand these things entirely, but it looks like two separate datasets:
- .xml called 'Step-free Tube guide and Toilet data' professing to have toilet info for all Tube, Overground and DLR stations
- .csv for Toilets in Bus Stations
This delivers on one of the Mayor's earlier commitments; that TfL would publish their Under-, Over-, Tube and Bus station toilet data
by Spring 2012; in response to the London Assembly's 2011 report into London's public toilets.
Thank you Transport for London! Unlike a toilet, it's better late than never.
.. Ordnance Survey – Part IV
It never rains but it pours..
I'm still catching up on everything that's happened in the past year, but it seems that Ordnance Survey are opening up their toilet data!
Or to be very, very, specific..
"..recently we have enabled our IP to be used in an open data release of one council's toilet data, and if any others approach us for releasing toilet data this is likely to be on the same terms"
The council was the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness, who applied for a OS derived data exemption, in order to produce their toilet data for the LGA's incentive scheme.
It's great that OS have recognised that open toilet data is in the public interest and personally I think they deserve a really big hug.
Past posts on the OS saga:
.. the Local open data incentive scheme
BIG NEWS in the search for local council toilet data.
After years of emailing councils requesting open data about their toilets, it is now suddenly being published, in bulk, in a useful format.
22 datasets have already passed 'technical review' in the last couple of months, with 80+ in the pipeline!
22 is already about as much as I managed in 3 years…
But how? (quick answer – the Local Government Association asked them to)
and why? (quick answer - they're paying them)
In February 2013 I made a formal request for public toilet location data via data.gov.uk.
The Open Data User Group took up this request – cogs whirred, people in meetings said 'Toilets!", plans were developed (OK so I don't know the details..) and the Local open data incentive scheme was born, with public toilets as one of the three datasets it would focus on.
Managed by the Local Government Association (LGA), the Local open data incentive scheme offers up to £7000 to councils if they publish open data about key themes in a consistent format.
The current themes are public toilets, planning applications and licensing of premises. They get £2000 per theme and a bonus £1K if they do all three.
Approved data will be collated and will also appear on data.gov.uk for people to use and make maps and find toilets etc. etc.
Thank you people who made this happen for taking the request seriously, not overlooking the unsexy topic of public loos and spending your money to get better information about a vital public service.
.. the Open Data Institute
On Friday 5th September I gave the Open Data Institute's weekly Lunchtime Lecture about The Great British Public Toilet Map.
You can listen again/flick through the slides to my talk 'Excuse me, where is the toilet (data)?'
The ODI have also written a blog post to summarise it, 'How open data can help us all to find the toilet'
Thank you, ODI, for inviting me to do this.
.. Freedom of Information
One way in which we are finding more toilets to add to The Great British Public Toilet Map is by making Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
Councils have a statutory obligation to respond to FOI requests within 20 days. Our Research Assistants Lizzie and Billie were tasked with sending out the FOI requests to the councils, as part of our current work on the project, funded by the Nominet Trust.
They identified 405 district councils and unitary authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If the public toilet (and community toilet scheme) information on each council's website was sufficient, they recorded this data. However if it was non-existent, or so brief that it was useless (e.g. "We have 6 public toilets."), they sent FOI requests, working through the UK region by region. In total they sent 314 FOI requests.
As luck would have it, someone (Jonathan Roberts) had already made FOI requests to 31 councils for information about their public facilities, including toilets, including many in Wales, through the website What Do They Know?, so they only had to follow up on a few of these.
Lizzie wrote our request based on the advice from that site and feedback from Owen Boswarva following a previous blog post. Our request can be read at the end of this post.
Did it work? At last count, We had responses from 199 councils, equivalent to a response rate of 63%, in excess of our 50% target.
We were still waiting for a reply from 115 councils. A few had been chased 4 times as the 20-day period had passed without response. Of those that replied, the majority have sent data (or a pdf of data). A minority have directed us to the information already on their website. A couple have sent links to pre-existing open data. At least 1 council asked us to foot the bill, requesting £450 for the data to be collected. We declined.
Next we have to unpick what we can actually do with the data.
Whilst The Great British Public Toilet Map is a non-commercial use, the map does have to be sustainable, so we need the option to use the data for commercial purposes too.
Guidance shared by @_datapreneur about Section 102 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 says that datasets have to be made available for re-use, including for commercial purposes, if certain conditions are met.
Does the toilet data fit this description? I think it does. So long as the council 'own' the data it is theirs to release for re-use.
An exception would be Ordnance Survey location data. I'm also not sure about toilets provided by a third company, e.g. the Superloos. Could they 'own the rights' to the information about their opening hours, rather than the councils, for example? Is that even practical? At what point is information simply in the public domain?
At least one council has decided to share the information under EIR (Environmental Information Regulations) instead of the FOI Act, which makes things different again.
And what about the councils who specifically said it could only be used by The Great British Public Toilet Map, and for non-commercial gain? If they had no right to, are we ignoring them at our peril?
My next task it to get to the bottom of these questions, hopefully in a way which doesn't involve extensive back-and-forth email conversations with 300 separate councils.
Suggestions, as always, are extremely welcome.
Dear ### Council,
We are writing to request details of your public toilet provision. We intend to use this information as open data for the Great British Public Toilet Map. This is a project started by the Royal College of Art and funded by the Nominet Trust to make it easier for people, in particular those with reduced continence, to find toilets.
Please treat this as a request for information under both the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and under the Re-Use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005, we request a dataset that covers all your toilet provision including public, library, parks and associated offices (one- stop offices for council tax payment etc). In short any toilet provision you offer to members of the public including those under any community toilet scheme you may have in operation. The specific data we require, if held by the Council, is:
- the longitude and latitude / postcode / exact location
- Opening times
- If there is a cost to use the facility
- Male / female
- Disabled access (including RADAR scheme)
- Baby changing (male and/or female)
- specialist provision such as urinals and/or squatting toilets
We request that this data is provided to us via email and if possible in a spreadsheet (XLS) format. We also request that this data is provided under licence that allows reuse, ideally the Open Government Licence.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter,
Yours faithfully,
The Great British Public Toilet Map
.. The Great British Public Toilet Map, Take 3.
Last October we were awarded £20 000 from the Nominet Trust to develop The Great British Public Toilet Map (@GBToiletMap).
The following video was made for the application and explains our project in 2 minutes – click to watch ..
We began work in March and will work on the map for 6 months. As I am on maternity leave, the project lead is the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design's Senior Research Fellow and Toilet Enthusiast, Jo-Anne Bichard, while the design ideas, data collection and day-to-day work has been embraced by Research Assistants and (soon to be graduating) MA students, Elizabeth Raby and Billie Muraben. Meanwhile, Neontribe are figuring out how to make it all work.
In brief, we aim to add A LOT more toilets. The existing site is little more than a prototype, consisting of data for a handful of London boroughs, a few other councils, National Rail Enquiries and Transport for London, the latter of which is four years out-of-date to my eternal frustration.
We also aim to improve the information about each toilet, since at the moment we have opening hours, wheelchair accessibility info and baby-changing info.
Therefore, we (.. and by 'we' I mean Lizzie, Billie and Neontribe) are:
- Trawling council websites for public and community toilet details
- Sending Freedom of Information requests when the info is missing or poor
- Importing the 4000-odd toilet locations from OpenStreetMap (OSM)
- Developing a means for the public and councils to add/amend entries, in order to crowd-source for data, to make it more reliable and complete
- Developing a means for all this extra info to be added back into OSM
- Redesigning the interface so that all these extra toilets and info can be seen and understood easily
..as well as a million other things that will help us to provide a useful, sustainable website by the autumn for everyone to benefit from.
I will try to blog about things as they develop, such as our massive FOI efforts (I believe the East Midlands are winning for the most replies), our upcoming paper-prototyping, and the licensing headache that is starting to emerge.
However, we met up with Harry and Rupert form Neontribe on May 1st and got very excited to have our first big toilet/data conversation for a very long time.
With such loo-mapping enthusiasm in the room, only good can come of this.

As a child I was fascinated with tap and soft shoe dancing. As I have mentioned before, I am not graceful enough to pull of the remotest definition of most styles of dancing. I tend to trip over the dust bunnies in the room. My grandson was interesting in tap for a bit, but he prefers the styles of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. He at least does well with it, except for his fast growth in the last couple of years. He is taller than all of us now at 17 years of age. When I saw Happy Feet, it made me think of how I could put this together. One is showing the other how to do the step. :o)
The rest of the information is from wikipedia:
Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sound of one's tap shoes hitting the floor as a percussive instrument. As such, it is also commonly considered to be a form of music. Two major variations on tap dance exist: rhythm (Jazz) tap and Broadway tap. Broadway tap focuses more on the dance. It is widely performed as a part of musical theater. Rhythm tap focuses more on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the Jazz tradition.
The sound is made by shoes with a metal "tap" on the heel and toe. Tap shoes can be bought at most dance shops. There are different brands of shoes which sometimes differ in the way they sound.
"Soft-Shoe" is a rhythm form of tap dancing that doesn't require special shoes, and while rhythm is generated by tapping of the feet, it also uses sliding of the feet (even sometimes using scattered sand on the stage to enhance the sound of the performer's sliding feet) more often than modern rhythm tap. It preceded what is currently considered to be modern tap, but has since declined in popularity.
Tap dance has roots in dancing such as the Juba Dance, English Lancashire Clog dancing,1 and probably most notably Irish stepdancing. It is believed to have begun in the mid-1800s during the rise of minstrel shows. White performers would imitate Southern blacks and satirize their dance forms while incorporating step-dancing. In later minstrel shows, black performers in blackface would play roles in which they imitated the Irish imitation of black dance forms, further mixing the two.

Kim Raver
Lipstick Jungle's Robert Buckley Calls Love Scenes 'Cirque du Soleil'
Originally posted 10/29/2008 12:50PM
In his role on Lipstick Jungle, Robert Buckley gets to exercise his acting skills – and his flexibility.
"We are like the Cirque du Soleil of sex," says the actor, 27, whose character, hunky photographer Kirby, romances Kim Raver's magazine editor Nico.
"This season we've done it standing up, laying down," Buckley says of the on-camera action.
Now that he's in his second season of the NBC series (which is moving to Fridays at 10 p.m.), filming love scenes doesn't make Buckley nervous anymore. "By the fifth time, you're like ... whatever," he says. "And Kim's great. We just laugh our way through it."

But according to filmmaker husband Manu Boyer, the Lipstick Jungle star didn't have to work out around the clock to melt the pounds away. "A little bit," he said, "but not like crazy."
"My big goal was to be able to nurse my baby," Raver, 40, said at Thursday's opening of the LaCroix Boutique in midtown Manhattan. "I was lucky that it came off easily."

Oklahoma State Pulls Away From Oregon State 66-53Phil Forte scored 13 points in the second half Monday night to lead Oklahoma State to a 66-53 victory over Oregon State in the opening game of the MGM Grand Main Event. The Cowboys (5-0) will meet the winner of the tournament's second game between Auburn and Tulsa for the championship Wednesday night. Forte, Oklahoma State's leading scorer, made just one of his first five shots but then came on strong in the final half, finishing with 17 points on 4-of-11 shooting. His steal and drive with 5:03 left in regulation gave the Cowboys a double-digit lead, 55-45, and they coasted to the finish. Le'Bryan Nash led Oklahoma State with 19 points, although he was plagued by foul trouble in the second half. Jeffrey Carroll added 13, and Anthony Hickey had 12. Forward Victor Robbins led the Beavers (3-1) with 16 points. LAS VEGAS (AP) – November 25, 2014
Eastern Washington Rallies To Stun Hoosiers 88-86Drew Brandon scored a career-high 27 points, and Eastern Washington used a late 9-0 run to stun Indiana 88-86 on Monday night. Tyler Harvey had 25 points to help the Eagles (4-1) get their first win against a Big Ten foe and their first win in front of a crowd of 10,000 or more. Eastern Washington is now 1-13 all-time against the Big Ten and 1-20 in front of big crowds. Indiana (4-1) was led by Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell with 27 points and Troy Williams with 19. But the Hoosiers blew a 12 -point second half lead and couldn't close it out after taking a 78-75 lead with 2:12 to play. Instead, Eastern Washington scored nine straight to take control and then closed it out at the free-throw line. The result also ended Indiana's 43-game home winning streak against non-conference foes. BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) – November 25, 2014
Wiggins Scores 32, Leads PSU Over SIUE 90-87, OTDaShaun Wiggins scored a career-high 32 points and gave Portland State its first overtime lead in in a 90-87 victory over SIU-Edwardsville on Monday night.

Donivine Stewart scored and drew a foul with 23 seconds left for SIUE (1-3). He missed the free throw, but Keenan Simmons got the offensive rebound and Stewart went back to the line, making 1 of 2 to cut the deficit to one. Tim Douglas made both free throws for PSU with 8 seconds left and Stewart missed a difficult 3-pointer at the buzzer. Douglas had 17 points and Braxton Tucker added 13 points and nine rebounds. Kris Davis had 25 points, Keaton Jackson scored 16 and Michael Messer added 10 for the Cougars. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – November 25, 2014

Better Power Savings With ZPODD On Linux
Published on 28 May 2012 03:51 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
Intel continues to work on Linux kernel patches for ZPODD support.
ZPODD is short for Zero-Power Optical Disk Drive and is one of the features of the Serial ATA 3.1 specification. What this ZPODD technology allows for is to zero-out the power consumption of an idle SATA ODD to further the power-savings benefits. If the SATA device is completely idle, there's no need to feed it anything.
Of course, this feature isn't entirely useful to all since many systems these days ship without any optical drive. But if you have a SATA optical (DVD / Blu-ray) drive installed, these Intel Linux patches could be of benefit.
Lin Ming of Intel has been working on the patches for a while and he just published the fourth revision to them
on the mailing list
. He also has ACPI D3Cold state power savings patches too, which he ended up splitting out from the SATA ZPODD work.
The SATA 3.1 specification was published last summer. Besides Zero-Power Optical Disk Drive support, other Serial ATA 3.1 features were Universal Storage Module, mSATA, Required Link Power Management, Queued Trim Command, and Hardware Control Features.

Primitive Star Quilt pattern
I am searching for the primitive Star Quilt Pattern. Can anyone help me locate it?
When I googled this, many different star patterns showed up, so I have a feeling it's a catch-all phrase for many different star patterns. Is this something that you have actually seen somewhere? If so, was it a five, six, eight-point star? If so, I would search the internet or go find a pattern book on whatever specific number of points it has. There are so many names for star patterns, too, Ohio Star, Lemoyne Star, etc. You could look those up and find one that suits you.
There's a Primitive Star Quilt listed in Miss Jump's Quilt Album by Linda Brannock but there isn't a picture at that site. Miss Jump's Quilt Album

21 Nov 2012 08:54 GMT | Humanitarian crises, Asia, US & Canada, United States
A large blast that was most likely a suicide bomb attack ripped through the heavily barricaded diplomatic area of the Afghan capital Kabul, a police official said, and there were an unknown number of casualties.
At least two people were killed along with two suicide bombers, two people were also injured.
The guards fired on the assailants, killing them, but not before one of the vests exploded, said General Mohammad Daoud Amin, the deputy provincial police chief.
"Around 8 o'clock today there appeared to be a suicide bomb attack ... We cannot say what the target was at this point in time," Hashmatullah Stanikzai, a spokesperson for Kabul Police, said on Wednesday.
Embassy sirens sounded and ambulances could be heard after the blast, which happened in the area where the US and British embassies and the headquarters of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) are located.
A spokesperson for ISAF said the coalition was aware of an explosion.
The blast reverberated around Kabul's Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood. An alarm started going off at the nearby US Embassy, warning staff to take cover.
The neighborhood also is home to many high-ranking Afghan officials, international organisations and the headquarters of the international military coalition.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing in an email to reporters.
Ashoura preparations
Wednesday's bombers were also armed with grenade launchers, said Amin, the deputy police chief.
He said they were stopped near a building that was under construction near the US base.
An international coalition vehicle was also damaged in the attack but there were no initial reports of casualties among the foreign forces, said Jamie Graybeal, a NATO troops spokesman.
The attack came as foreign and Afghan forces tightened their watch over the capital ahead of the holy day of Ashoura on Saturday, when Shia Muslims commemorate the seventh century death of Hussein, the grandson Prophet Muhammad.
Last year, the commemoration saw the first major sectarian attack since the fall of the Taliban regime.
In that strike, a suicide bomber on foot detonated his vest amid scores of worshippers at a Shia shrine, killing 56 people and wounding more than 160 others.
Police had already set up extra checkpoints around Kabul and specifically near shrines to search cars and people in the run up to the Ashoura.
On Tuesday, Amin said that all his forces were ``in the first security alert position'' and doing their "best to provide good security and prevent any possible incident on Ashoura."

So, why did we invade Grenada? A terrorist bomb killed all those Marines in Beirut, the White House was taking flak, and suddenly our Marines were landing on a Caribbean island few people had heard of, everybody was tying yellow ribbons 'round old oak trees, and Clint Eastwood was making the movie. The Grenadan invasion, I have read, produced more decorations than combatants. By the time it was over, Ronald Reagan's presidency had proven the republic could still flex its muscle--we could take out a Caribbean Marxist regime at will, Cuba notwithstanding.
Barry Levinson's "Wag the Dog" cites Grenada as an example of how easy it is to whip up patriotic frenzy, and how dubious the motives sometimes are. The movie is a satire that contains just enough realistic ballast to be teasingly plausible; like "Dr. Strangelove," it makes you laugh, and then it makes you wonder. Just today, I read a Strangelovian article revealing that some of Russian's nuclear missiles, still aimed at the United States, have gone unattended because their guards were denied bonus rations of 4 pounds of sausage a month. It is getting harder and harder for satire to stay ahead of reality.
In the movie, a U.S. president is accused of luring an underage "Firefly Girl" into an anteroom of the Oval Office, and there presenting her with opportunities no Firefly Girl should anticipate from her commander in chief. A presidential election is weeks away, the opposition candidate starts using "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" in his TV ads, and White House aide Winifred Ames (Anne Heche) leads a spin doctor named Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro) into bunkers far beneath the White House for an emergency session.
Brean, a Mr. Fixit who has masterminded a lot of shady scenarios, has a motto: "To change the story, change the lead." To distract the press from the Firefly Girl scandal, he advises extending a presidential trip to Asia, while issuing official denials that the new B-3 bomber is being activated ahead of schedule. "But there is no B-3 bomber," he's told.
"Perfect! Deny it even exists!" Meanwhile, he cooks up a phony international crisis with Albania.
Why Albania? Nobody is sure where it is, nobody cares, and you can't get any news out of it. Nobody can even think of any Albanians except--maybe the Belushi brothers? To produce the graphic look and feel of the war, Brean flies to Hollywood and enlists the services of a producer named Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman), who is hard to convince. He wants proof that Brean has a direct line to the White House. He gets it. As they watch a live briefing by a presidential spokesman, Brean dictates into a cell phone and the spokesman repeats, word for word, what he hears on his earpiece. (I was reminded of the line in "Broadcast News": "Goes in here, comes out there.") Motss assembles the pieces for a media blitz. As spokesmen warn of Albanian terrorists skulking south from Canada with "suitcase bombs," Motss supervises the design of a logo for use on the news channels, hires Willie Nelson to write the song that will become the conflict's "spontaneous" anthem, and fakes news footage of a hapless Albanian girl (Kirsten Dunst) fleeing from rapists with her kitten. (Dunst is an American actress, and the kitten, before it is created with special effects, is a bag of Tostados.) But what about a martyr? Motss cooks up "good old Shoe," Sgt. William Schumann (Woody Harrelson), who is allegedly rescued from the hands of the Albanians to be flown back for a hero's welcome. Shoe inspires a shtick, too: Kids start lobbing their old gym shoes over power lines, and throwing them onto the court during basketball games, as a spontaneous display of patriotism.
It's creepy how this material is absurd and convincing at the same time. Levinson, working from a smart, talky script by David Mamet and Hilary Henkin, based on the book "American Hero" by Larry Beinhart, deconstructs the media blitz that accompanies any modern international crisis. Even when a conflict is real and necessary (the Gulf War, for example), the packaging of them is invariably shallow and unquestioning; like sportswriters, war correspondents abandon any pretense of objectivity and detachment, and cheerfully root for our side.
For Hoffman, this is the best performance in some time, inspired, it is said, by producer Robert Evans. (In power and influence, however, Motss seems more like Ray Stark.) Like a lot of Hollywood power brokers, Hoffman's Motss combines intelligence with insecurity and insincerity, and frets because he won't get "credit" for his secret manipulations.
De Niro's Brean, on the other hand, is a creature born to live in shadow, and De Niro plays him with the poker-faced plausibility of real spin doctors, who tell lies as a professional specialty. Their conversations are crafted by Mamet as a verbal ballet between two men who love the jargon of their crafts.
"Why does a dog wag its tail?" Brean asks at one point. "Because the dog is smarter than the tail. If the tail was smarter, it would wag the dog." In the Breanian universe, the tail is smarter, and we, dear readers, are invited to be the dogs.

Grainy fudge
I know this is weird, but I remember as a child sucking on some dark chocolate fudge that was kind of grainy. It was delicious. I know fudge is supposed to be creamy, but some things just have to be what you had as a child to be perfect (kind of like O/S jellied cranberry sauce aka can wrinkles).
Does anyone have a recipe for a dark chocolate GRAINY fudge?
Here's a link to a thread which might be helpful.
Here is a link that might be useful: stuff ya just can't rush
I have always read that if you stir AFTER a certain point it will make the fudge grainy. Since that is the way I like it, I stir with impunity!
This is a recipe given to my by a classmate when I was in grad school. I've used often, but I can't remember if it is grainy or not. Seeing that it was many years ago when I was in grad school, and seeing how my metabolism has changed, I rarely make fudge, but I remember it was very tasty!
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 small can evaporated milk
2 Tablespoons Karo syrup (clear)
chopped pecans to taste
3 Tablespoons butter
vanilla extract to taste
Boil first 4 ingredients to soft ball stage. Cool in a sink of cold water. While cooling, add pecans, butter, and vanilla. When cool, spread on buttered plate until set.
My mom used to make the Hershey's cocoa fudge from the recipe on the can and it was always grainy. I love it that way, too!
The poster here says it's a sugary (I read grainy), crumbly fudge and it's the original recipe from the can.
Here is a link that might be useful: Old fashioned cocoa fudge at food.com
I like it that way too. It is not fudge, to me, unless it is grainy because that is the way my dad made it every Christmas since before I was born, and that is almost 61 years ago. This is the old fashion crumbly, sugary fudge from the back of the Hershey's Cocoa can. He would use the "soft ball" test and I was the one who got to eat all the tests!
Hershey's Fudge
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Line 8 or 9 inch square pan with foil; butter foil.
2. In large heavy saucepan stir together first three ingredients; stir in milk, with a wooden spoon*.
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
4. Boil without stirring, to 234 degrees F on a candy thermometer (or until syrup, when dropped in very cold water forms a soft ball which flattens when removed from water). Bulb of candy thermometer should not rest on bottom of pan. (This can take 20-30 minutes).
5. Remove from heat. Add butter & vanilla.
6.DO NOT STIR! Cool at room temperature to 110 degrees F (lukewarm). (This can take 2 to 2-1/2 hours).
7. Beat with wooden spoon until fudge thickens & loses some of its gloss. (This can take 15-20 minutes. It really works best if you have someone to 'tag-team' with.) It starts to look more like frosting than a thick syrup when it is ready.
8. Quickly spread into prepared pan; cool.
9. Cut into squares.Store wrapped loosely in foil in the refrigerator.
*it is very important not to use a wire whisk or the fudge will not set up. Also just stir gently, even though the cocoa will stay floating on top, it will mix in as the mixture heats up.
Today in my email from The Kitchn was a recipe for Classic Chocolate Fudge. The description: This fudge is not the creamy, smooth kind. It has a dense, textured chewiness as you bite into it and it kind of shatters and then melts in your mouth.
The recipe notes that the fudge will be grainy if you stir it too much while it is cooking. I'll be stirring with reckless abandon!
Here is a link that might be useful: The Kitchn Easy Chocolate Fudge
I miss the grainy fudge my grandpa used to make. My Mom swears she's using his recipe but I know she's not likely to stir much, so that explains the (wrong IMO!) texture. Grandpa's was much more of something to chew. Mom's just melts. But hey, I'm just glad somebody's making some fudge sometimes!!
My mom always made a type of fudge that was rather grainy. The recipe came from the side of the box of confectioners sugar. I still make this from time to time, as do each of my daughters now that they're grown. It is quick fudge, no candy thermometer needed.
6 tbsp margarine, melted
1 lb confectioners sugar
1/4 cup cocoa (Hersheys or similar)
a pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
3-4 tbsp milk
Butter an 8" square pan. (We always used a pie plate and it works too.) Melt the margarine in a 3 qt saucepan. Add the sugar, cocoa, salt. Stir well. Add the vanilla and the milk. Let the mixture heat up until it barely bubbles.
Pour carefully into the buttered pan. Let cool until hard. Cut into however many squares you want.
Watch out -- very sweet, very rich, and grainy.
I loved my mom's grainy fudge - we never had a candy thermometer and I didn't really understand the soft ball stage, so I appreciate seeing what that means. I always thought it meant if you just dropped it in the water it would just sit there in a little ball. That never worked!
I tried, as a teen, making it many times, only to always have chocolate sauce. So one time I decided I was going to cook it so long it HAD to set up. Mom wasn't home. So I cooked and cooked and cooked it. I cooked it so long I couldn't get the spoon out of the pan, nor the fudge of course. Worried I'd be in big trouble for ruining the pan and wasting the ingredients, I threw (hid) the pan in the garbage can. Never made it again.
Took my mom a long time to realize that pan was missing. I never fessed up. And I still have fudge making anxiety.
For those that like a firm but creamy smooth fudge, you might like this recipe.
White Chocolate and Toasted Walnut Fudge
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream
1/2 cup of butter
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup of white Corn Syrup
6 to 8 ounces Callebaut White Chocolate
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add the two sugars, butter, cream, corn syrup and salt into a sauce pan. Place over medium heat. Stir while bringing to a boil. Lower the Heat and continue to stir slowly while the mixture cooks. After about 7 minutes, test by pouring a small amount into some cold water. You Want it to form a soft ball. (about 235�F to 238�F on a candy thermometer) When it reaches soft ball stage, remove from the heat, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, add the vanilla and the white chocolate and stir until the white chocolate melts. You will notice the the fudge starts to thicken almost immediately. Stir another minute or two or until the fudge starts to lose its shine. Quickly add the walnuts and pour into a buttered dish.
Kind of OT, sorry, but this thread totally reminds me of a flourless chocolate cake I always request from my mom on my birthday, along with the obligatory Sauerbraten. It's a hand-written recipe passed down the family line of an Austrian friend... Anyway, the way my mom makes it, the cake always has a crunch from the undissolved sugar. At first we wondered if it was an problem with the type of sugar, thought maybe try superfine sugar instead, and we had a few other hypothesese, but then we decided we actually like the crunch factor. Though still curious, I can tell you I wouldn't want it any other way!

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Del Prado Mexico City
Travel Blogs from Mexico City
Off to the big city!
... reached a police roadblock. The driver sighed and basically said in Spanish, "You can't get there from here." Turns out streets are closed nightly for Christmas celebrations. When I asked if there wasn't another route, he said "not a safe one". So...definitely not taking any chances on alternate routes here. After a few more minutes, our quiet driver volunteered that we could get within a block of the hotel. I said we would gladly walk a block or two if it was safe, so that's how ...
From Havana to Mexico City to home
... we learned that Aero Mexico changed their check in counter from the far left side of the terminal to the far right side. There was a large group of Japanese tourists in front of the line but they were led away then brought back about 15-minutes later to lose their place in line. We got our boarding pass, paid our departure tax (25 CUC's) at ...
Torture, religion & guns
After lunch we headed to the Belle Artes Museum which was absolutely rubbish, it's housed in a stunning building but the Louvre it isn't. They were refurnishing so a lot of galleries were shut and the 10 or so painting were interesting but definitely not worth the money to get it. I felt like the Mexican Govt had just pick pocketed us. Lucky we stumbled on the Museum of Torture nearby and that was truly gruesome. Man has an innate ability to devise the most devious and ...
... Sid is recently back from trekking in Nepal. Six are going to Teotihuacan as a private tour; Chris is staying in the city and Jim and I are heading for Coyoacan tomorrow, using the subway.
Off for dinner: tacos and Negra Modelo; very good 80 MP. Cathy noted she mapped a G trip in southern Africa and then duplicated it for a much cheaper price! Off again to the Zocalo and then back to the room before 2200. TIred but some emails, diary and uploading before conking.
Day 1: Mexico City
... to come back tomorrow to make sure it is the right size sim. So I headed for the hotel. About a 10 minute walk. The rain eased and I could relax a bit more. When I got to the hotel I got to my room and changed my clothes. I was feeling very tired. It was around 6pm. I wanted to make sure I was home before dark. I ended up having a little nap. When I woke up I decided to call mum. She was very happy to hear from me. I was feeling exhausted and slightly nauseas. So decided ...

Tastes little weird though. But overall satisfaction is good. I have been using it for past 4 months and my UTI problems are gone.

Michael Shove is hosting an all ages swim meet and pool party to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that is chronic and affects metabolic functions. It can cause the production of a think mucus in the lungs, obstructing airways making breathing difficult and it can cause the pancreas not to produce enzymes that digest food. The event will be held at the Greenknoll Regional YMCA in Brookfield, CT on Saturday, August 24th. Warm ups start at 9, the meet at 10, the party and silent auction at 12, and a reception with awards and a cash bar at 3. Donations would be appreciated even if you are unable to attend. Please go to Meet Results for more information.
Pictures Wanted
Please send any CONN Master's pictures to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am looking for both pictures of swimming events, such as Y Nationals and Harvard meets, and swimmers doing things outside the pool, such as our famed guitarist playing a gig or any post practice parties (please keep in mind our website doesn't have any age limits so please keep the pictures family appropriate).
Jeff Sargent wants Team CONN Masters at Worlds or Nationals Next Summer
Jeff has announced that his goal for the 2014 season is to bring a team to a national or international level meet. Masters Worlds are from August 3- August 9th in Montreal. USMS LC Nationals are August 13-17 at the University of Maryland. Both sites are about 8 hours from CT which is really very close. While swimming at this level may seem intimidating, USMS prides itself on being inclusionary. ALL Swimmers are welcome and the more swimmers, the more individual and relay swims and the more opportunities for points. Please start looking at your calendars and let Jeff know if you are interested in either of these meets.
Wilton Summer Sizzler Results
Wilton held their annual Summer Sizzler meet on 7/21/13. There were many excellent relays, including new world record holders in the Mixed 100-119 800 Free Relay! Congrats to Katie Grant, Caitlin Cole, Greg Sargent, and Spencer Scarth for putting together that relay. Please check out the preliminary results at 2013_Sizzler_results (1). Jeff Sargent would like to thank the Meet Ref- Roger Stewart, Starter- Tom GiGugliemo, Daktronics Operator- Jill Shoshan, Computer Operator- Suzanne Cheruk, back up timers- Elizabeth Sargent and Eden Shoshan, and also Penny Scarth. We would like to thank Jeff for all that he did to put the meet together.

Liz is looking to 2 swimmers for a relay team for SWIM Across the Sound, August 3rd, (less than 2 weeks away). They are planning on wearing wetsuits. If you are interested, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please put a note in the header that this is for Liz's Swim.
Support a CT Youth Team
Cheshire Community Pool has had structural issues since it was built and again collapsed this winter. The town is still deciding whether to rebuild the cover so that the pool can be used in the winter. Cheshire CDogs, their USA Swim team, is competing for $5000 in a video contest. Please consider supporting another Connecticut swim program, going to the website at Go After Your Goals and voting for Cheshire.
Remember to check the entry deadlines carefully.
Just a reminder to check the entry deadlines for the meets you are interested in participating in. Meets hosts are allowed to decided how and when to accept registrations. Most try to vary carefully analyze what will be the easiest while still getting the largest participation. Meets in the past had early deadlines because they were done through the mail and meet hosts were afraid that mail would arrive late. Then hosts started allowing for same day entries so they could encourage more participation. With computer programs doing online registration, entry dates have been extended but many don't allow onsite registration anymore. Some meet hosts, like the Swim Festival, have started to charge different fees depending on when you register to encourage early sign ups. Be safe, read the entry options and deadlines closely. Please note that paper entries for the Wilton Sizzler must be received (not just postmarked) by Tuesday, July 9th but online registration goes until next Tuesday, July 16th. With July just starting, some are being caught off guard at the fast approaching deadlines.
Zone Championship Results
CONN Masters got 19th overall and 11th for men's teams. What makes this feat so impressive is that it was done all by one swimmer. Peter Berghaus was the only swimmer entered for CONN and scored 54 points, and as such placed quite impressively within other teams from the Colonies Zone. He swam 8 events, placing second in his age group and scoring 7 points each in the 50 and 200 back, 50 and 200 breast, 200 and 400 IM. He placed third, scoring 6 points in the 100 back and 100 breast. Thank you, Peter, for representing CONN Masters so well at Zones.
Dave Parcells- A Connecticut Legend
When most people think of great swimming, their minds go to California, Florida, Colorado, and Texas but Connecticut has some truly great swimmers especially in open water swimming. A Connecticut native, Dave Parcells was a triathlete and open water swimmer, competing in the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii and is the oldest person to have done a double crossing of the English Channel. He was a champion fundraiser and organizer too, being a swim director of the St. Vincent's Medical Center's Swim Across the Sound and running the CT Open Water Championships. He was inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame after his death in 2007. Connecticut youth and masters swimmers honor him annually at the CT Open Water Championships this year to be held June 29th at Lake Quassey. Please see the Meet Results page for the registration website.
Summer Meets Being Added
There are lots of open water events that have been added, including the annual swims in Greenwich and Westport and a new swim in Milford. More events are still to come. If you have a registration form or website for an upcoming open water event that has not been added yet, please email it to firstname.lastname@example.com. For those of you more interested in pool competitions, Wilton Wahoos are once again hosting a long course meet. Online registration can be found at Meet Results. If you would rather register through the mail, you can print the 2013WiltonSizzler form and send it to Jeff Sargent at the Wilton Wahoos. Mailed entries must be received by Tuesday, July 9th (not just postmarked but actually received). Jeff is also asking that if you have your relays set before the meet, please let him know early.
