More and More and More – The distorted Vision of Jeremy Bentham
Tags: advertising, Capitalism, Commerce, Economics, globalisation, overcrowding, plenty, Utilitarianism
The shabby, half empty Co-Op on Neville Road closed down and a new Waitrose sprung up in its place. Suddenly, the place is bustling.
When I worked in Africa, I would return for holidays and wander around supermarkets marvelling at the variety. I delighted in curry sauce, Marmite and Birds custard. It felt a bit like that in Waitrose. Like my first time in California; shiny happy people and the shelves fully stacked. Posh clientele crammed inside like an opening of la Boheme.
The car park was worse than a game of Tetris and taxis awaited the immaculate elderly. Even the trolleys glided silently, devoid of rattles and outside they were not chained up like dogs; Waitrose customers wouldn't be seen dead stealing trolleys. Branded clothing only and away with cheap TVs and washing machines; triple the size of the wine section. Vegetables from all over the planet all in their prime. Slimmer isles but packed with "fifty kinds of toothpaste and forty types of soap". The massive pressure of the middle class has erupted to claim its birthright. We have disposable income and we shall shop. It's all we do. The only respite from the relentless press of people was the cleaning products isle. Waitrose customers have staff and they shop at Lidl.
"The system" is now tuned to ensure maximum efficiency and our lives are mere links in the supply chain. We are no longer citizens, we are customers. We are told that we even "consume" music and television. It's said that no middle class American home is complete without an unused aqualung at the back of the wardrobe and this lunacy has spread to England where thousands of people own their own skis! Skis! In England!
In 1768 British philosopher Jeremy Bentham declared the work of government to be supplying "The greatest good for the greatest number". Global Capitalism has replaced the word "good" with "goods" and taken up the challenge with a vengeance.
The middle class used to seek exclusivity but, in a world geared toward maximizing sales, what does that even mean anymore? The BMW 3 now outsells the Ford Mondeo. I suggest the current meaning of exclusivity is whatever the advertisers want it to mean. Perhaps this week it is Hendricks Scottish Gin, next week, who knows? And we fall for it. We drink Gin from Scotland and Scotch from England. We wouldn't drink the water in Mexico yet we import the beer.
Indoctrinated from birth, we stoke the system. Our minds are like vacuum cleaners sucking up advertising wherever it is found. The TV, the radio, magazines, The Internet. Modern man needs stimulation and advertising give it to us. Sit on the London Underground and notice how your attention is drawn to the ads. This is why our leaders consider literacy so important We are readaholics but this junk bypasses the intellect and is dumped unprocessed into our sub-conscious. Snoop Dog is advertising financial services for God's sake!
A middle class is now forming in the developing world and they too want to shop. They demand meat but the world can't produce enough so scientists are seeking to farm insects for human consumption. The grave yards are so full that Floridians can now choose between cremation and "liquefaction". There are now over 7 billion of us on planet Earth and in England we're crammed in like battery hens. Office buildings get bigger but our houses and workspace gets smaller. The Economist advocates that we "Build on the green belt or introduce space rationing".
Are we insane? Does it even matter?
Driven by tactical marketing decisions our leaders have no vision. They stand on the bridge bickering over which button to press but they don't know where we're going. Meanwhile Western voters are getting restless.
Up to now, humanity have been the glue that holds global capitalism together. While on a tour of his factory, Henry Ford II asked the leader of the automobile workers union: "Walter, how are you going to get those robots to pay your union dues?" to which the union leader replied: "Henry, how are you going to get them to buy your cars?".
The Industrial Revolution was a wonderful thing of course. It released the resources of the world to be exploited for the good of humanity. Though workers were displaced in manufacturing, jobs were created in the knowledge economy. But the second and the third wave of revolution are not yet fully played out and computers have started displacing even the most knowledgeable workers.
This time, the revolution might be different. In the U.S. real wages have hardly budged over the past four decades and the limp economic recovery is not creating jobs. The single minded pursuit of goods for the greatest number is becoming a problem for the planet just when humanity are becoming less useful to Global Capitalism.
Perhaps, it's time to scrap Mr. Betham's vision and develop a new one.

Sunshine, strikes and software development
Tags: Change, development, infosec, innovation, IT, malware, security, Software, Standards
Tuesday was a beautiful spring morning and I got the train up to London. The English countryside looked gorgeous and green in the sun and the haze. A tube strike of course and people thronged the streets waiting for buses. Ah, after decades of Corsets, Cash ISAs, and Caffe Latte, England is finally getting back to normal. About time the dustmen went on strike again isn't it? Bring back the GLC.
I was heading for Infosec, the Information Security exhibition at Earl's Court. I'm an old hand at this now: Quick sausage sandwich, a cup of coffee then a walk round the stands to see what's current. The main point of these trips for me is to attend the education seminars. Not much really new to report but it's still worth a look.
Advanced Persistent Threats are really just all the other threats put together and undertaken by governments in a relentless manner. The Stuxnet worm which attacked the centrifuges in nuclear processing facilities in Iran is an example.
People Talk a lot of Bollocks in Information Technology these days and part of this comes about because the industry is changing so fast. New themes emerge and people race to name them. The names get taken up by salesman who repeat them before the industry has really figured out what they mean. Cloud used to suffer in this respect though it is generally more understood these days. A seminar entitled "Actionable intelligence: Building a holistic security threat intelligence capability" demonstrated to me that the panel had not really understood the meaning of Actionable or Holistic.
A seminar entitled "'Applification' of business and implications for security: Securing software development" was interesting if a little meandering. The panellists discussed very pertinent issues around the security of software development. Security is often seen as a bolt on, developers are seldom given security requirements in the functional specs and, though one guy said that all developers should be security specialists, they all had to admit that finding good developers was difficult enough; finding security aware developers was almost impossible.
One pundit contrasted software development with engineering and this goes to the heart of why we still find IT systems which are not adequately secured. I recall working for an oil company close to where oil was "lifted". A flare had been set up and, after discussing this with an engineer, I realised that he had not just stuck a pipe in the ground and hoped. He had been trained how to handle flares safely. He'd performed a formal safety assessment. What type of gas? How much gas? What was the location? He had then consulted his training or possibly relevant standards and created a mechanism with strictly defined materials, tolerances and capabilities.
This rarely happen in software development or IT projects in general. There is no recognised standard for software developers. There is no industry wide accepted training path that is comparable to engineering. Yes, standards, training and qualifications exist but they are not prerequisites. They are something to boost a CV. The main problem is that technology and the industry are still changing so quickly that standards and qualifications become redundant before they can get a grip. Further, software developers still regard themselves as creative. They like to invent clever new ways to do something where an engineer, though obviously creative, is more restricted in what he can get away with especially when safety is involved.
Probably the reason that standard are more easily enforced in engineering is that the outcomes are far more visible. If the gas flare mentioned earlier had resulted in a huge flame blowing dangerously close to a building then everyone would have known about it but a software short cut or "innovative" coding could go unnoticed until a vulnerability is finally exploited by an attacker.
The proliferation first of mini-computers and then PCs meant that many organisations chose to run their own IT functions and this led to a lot of inexperienced and unqualified people in the industry. I should know. It's how I started. The on-going migration of software services to the Cloud may help by concentrating computing at locations where the technology and configurations can be standardised, the staff adequately trained & qualified and the overall organisation audited to ensure compliance with industry best practice.
But change is ubiquitous in IT and many of the most innovative companies are small so we can expect software development to continue in hothouse start-ups rather than mature, standard bound organisations. We should also be careful what we wish for. Many of us got intoIT because of the creative aspects and this was underlined last week by an article in The Guardian in which developers look back at BASIC computer language which is now 50 years old.
Security, reliability and availability vs fun and flying by the seat of your pants. Tough choice.

Brighton houses costs 10 times salary
Tags: brighton, earnings, Global capital, house price crash, house prices, london, poverty, property bubble, property prices
Property prices are recovering we're told…….at last ay!?
'Recovering" is an estate agent term meaning increasing ludicrously and there is concern that we are developing another bubble. The government publish figures showing the average House Price/Earnings ratio for areas of England. Sorting this by the 2013 figure it looks like Kensington and Chelsea is the most expensive with average house price just over 27 times the average salary. But even Hackney is around 10 times. But don't stop at London. Brighton and Hove is around 10 times average salary, Cambridge just over 8 and if you want to get under 4 times you will have to go and live in Hull!
I had started to come around to the idea that London is becoming like New York. Property there is very expensive, everybody knows that and they've just got used to it. Londoners too, will have to accept that living in shoe boxes is the new normal. However, a quick check of some stats by Forbes magazine reveals that the Median Home Price to Median Annual income in 2012 for New York overall is 5.2, about the same as Preston in England! Or about half the price of Hackney and about one sixth the price of Kensington and Chelsea.
But British property pundits regard all this as acceptable. Apparently it's OK for someone to pay their entire salary for 11 years for somewhere to live. Or half their salary for 22 years. Or a third of their salary for 33 years. And so on. Either this bubble must burst or we are selling our kids into indentured servitude. Nominally our kids will be free citizens (able to pay taxes, die in wars etc) but if they stop working for more than a few days then they'll be homeless.
The word is that much of the cause of the high prices in London is from Johnny Foreigner who wants somewhere safe to park his money while the global economy is going sideways. Last August This Is Money reported that "foreign investors snap up 70% of all central London new build homes fuelling a surge in prices". British business' obsession with London and the mass immigration under New Labour can't have helped. Luckily our politicians have woken up to the obscene prices of housing and are addressing the problem with imaginative new policies…..oh, no wait….they haven't have they……..The FT reported today that the instability in Ukraine and the threatened sanctions are causing East European oligarchs to snap up London property. Oh well then. Our kids are screwed.

Professionalisation of Politics – Labour sign Axelrod
Tags: David Axelrod, Labour, marketing, profesional politics, spin, the message
Labour have engaged Bill Clinton's old political consultant David Axelrod on a six figure salary to be their strategic adviser. Good grief! Just what they need. Another spin doctor!
Margaret Thatcher is said to have been the first UK leader to employ a spin doctor but New Labour put the idea into hyperdrive with the likes of Alistair Campbell and Peter Mandelson. During the New Labour years I was angered at the flagrant gibberish trotted out by Mr. Mandelson during interviews. He would start a sentence, introduce a clause, introduce a sub-clause and then wander off into nowhere and if the interviewer tried to bring him back to the point he would behave as if this were the height of bad manners. He trained Gordon Brown to attempt this and there is a fantastic bit of footage showing Brown driveling on to BBC political journalist Nick Robinson and then Mandelson looming up to the camera and grinning as if to say: Yes, we're TALKING BOLLOCKS, you know it, I know it but there is nothing you can do about it.
I even remember Mandelson stating "politics is about spelling out your policies" – No it isn't, that's marketing, that's communications. Politics is primarily about setting policy and that is what Labour in opposition have failed to do.
The utter contempt that Mandelson showed for the public appalled me. While Blair cozied up to the mega-corporations and Brown continued to borrow even during the boom years, New Labour's arrogance led them to assume that they could do anything they liked and trot out any old bullshit as justification. (45 minutes my arse!).
I applauded when New Labour were toppled and hoped that we had seen the end of this nonsense. Of course the shiny new Tory leader started spinning before getting into power. He changed the Tory logo to a little tree. Remember that? A quick look at the Tory web site reveals it's been changed again to something a little more traditional.
But then we had the MP expenses scandal and the media phone tapping and the results of the Hillsborough inquiry and the pedophilia in the Catholic Church. It seemed that the whole establishment had been caught with its trousers down and no matter how much they spun the web just tightened around their throats.
So, with faith in politicians at a low and with no clear political winners I thought that we had come off that peak of contempt for the general public and that politicians now understood that talking the talk was not enough, they had to walk the walk.
But, oh dear. The Labour front bench. The Ed and Ed show. The Pinky and Perky of British politics. Both continue to base their opposition to the Tories on presentation over content. Their policies are oh so obviously contrived by the marketing department. Not so much "What do we believe in" but "What can we say that will win us votes". Remember when Balls and Milliband could not open their mouths without saying the word "failure"? Eds obviously thought that if they said "failure" often enough we'd start associating it with Tories but we just associated it with anyone named Ed. And, oh GOD! Who on Earth thought that Douglas Alexander should be in the shadow cabinet? Nothing to say but wont shut up about it. The Labour leadership are a bunch of salesmen but they have nothing to sell. Just watch this video where Ed Milliband gives identical answers to five different questions.
All this emphasis on the "message" over policy comes about because our politicians are professionals. They have studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at University, they have worked for older politicians and they now understand the mechanisms of power without ever having done anything in their lives which would give them any understanding of the real world. When Ed Milliband talks about "families who work all the hours that God sends" he is talking in the abstract. He has no experience of these people any more than the rest of our political elite. Cameron and Osborne have not worked in mines or in factories. Clegg has never worked in a call centre. None of the current lot have worked as union representatives, charity workers, doctors, programmers, supermarket workers or taxi drivers. Just as bad, none have ever been captains of industry or entrepreneurs or bankers in The City. Their experience of life is gained through reviewing reports and statistical analyses. They study us like we are bacteria in a petri dish and no more empathise with our lives than a scientist empathises with a lab rat.
This week even The Economist ran an article which finished: "The risks of promoting awkward talent and sacking the spin doctor are obvious……..but the alternative….is worse. It is to become ever more ingenious, hated and irrelevant". Labour seem oblivious. They think that hiring a bigger better media wonk from across the pond will hand them power on a plate. They'll figure out what to do with power once they've got it.
This is why Nigel Farage is like a breath of fresh air. People like him even if they don't agree with him. They like him because his arguments are reasoned and sincere. They like him because his reactions are human and appear in stark contrast to the rows of pre-programed pillocks who front the other parties.
In the recent debates between Nigel Farage and Nick Clegg it was interesting to note that the question of how much legislation the UK receives from the EU came up twice. In the first debate Farage quoted 75% and Clegg 7%. The topic arose again in the second debate only this time Farage had had the sense to research Clegg's figure of 7% and had discovered this was for primary legislation and the very same document quoted an overall amount of about 50%. When confronted with this Clegg could only lamely restate his figure of 7%.
Clegg had come on telly to use his PPE erudition to dismiss a jumped up oik but was not on top of his brief. A researcher had obviously given him the 7% figure and he didn't care where it had come from. He believed in the EU as an article of faith and used statistics as weapons of rhetoric not constituents of rational argument.
So, given New Labour's appalling record on spin. Given the abject failure of the Ed & Ed show. Given Cameron's ludicrous efforts to emulate Blair's spin by dog sledding around Lapland. Given that Clegg's professionalism was demolished by Farage's charisma and homework. Given the massive discrediting of the whole British establishment. Given the fact that the UK is amongst the top 7 most unequal society in the world, with the rich hoarding power and the rest of us herded around by "nudge theory" embedded in a massive and ubiquitous marketing machine. On TV, on the radio, on billboards, on football pitches, on smart phones (on this blog site!) Everywhere we look the political/industrial complex is exhorting us that the only way out of our economic problems is more of the same. Work more, consume more and to hell with the planet.
Given the disillusionment of the British public with professional politics, what do Labour do? Do they have a policy rethink? Do they take a step backward toward socialism? Do they take a step forward with radical new policies?
No. They outsource marketing to America. You couldn't make it up.
Why not just hand the Palace of Westminster over to Price Waterhouse Coopers and be done with it?

I'm thinking of voting UKIP…..
Tags: EU, EU membership, European Union, Left Wing, LibDem, nick clegg, Nigel Farage, racism, referendum, UKIP
The other day I told a friend that I am against further mass immigration to the UK and she gasped. This was tantamount to racism! Well, it gets worse. I'm thinking of voting UKIP!
For decades I have voted either Liberal (now Liberal Democrat) or Green. The Tories are the party for the elite and old Labor were too engrossed in a failing ideology. New Labor betrayed the working class and put Thatcherism on steroids. Further, I have always respected what I perceived as the calm rationalism of many Liberals with their emphasis on liberty and pragmatism.
To quote Sir William Harcourt, former 19th century Liberal Home Secretary and Chancellor:
"Liberty does not consist in making others do what you think right. The difference between a free Government and a Government which is not free is principally this—that a Government which is not free interferes with everything it can, and a free Government interferes with nothing except what it must. A despotic Government tries to make everybody do what it wishes, a Liberal Government tries, so far as the safety of society will permit, to allow everybody to do what he wishes. It has been the function of the Liberal Party consistently to maintain the doctrine of individual liberty. It is because they have done so that England is the country where people can do more what they please than in any country in the world"
Even when Labour accused the Liberal Democrats of betrayal by raising tuition fees I did not flinch. The Liberals didn't win the election but were a junior partner in a coalition and so could not dictate the agenda and most of the people screaming betrayal did not vote Liberal. If they had prized low tuition fees so much they should have put their vote where there mouth is.
I don't say that I love the Liberals, just that they seem the best of a bad lot. The fact that they are pro-Europe did not bother me as, very broadly, so was I.
But for some time now I have believed that England, and London in particular, are ludicrously over-crowded. There are too many of us. The roads and trains are horrendously congested, house prices are obscene and gradually, what was once spare communal space is being converted into private concrete structures.
Here's the point: Though mass immigration may drive up national GDP it does not necessarily drive up GDP per capita and even GDP per capita does not place value on shared communal "goods" such as open space, personal space and time not spent standing on railway platforms freezing your fucking nuts off. In 2014 I may be richer in material goods than my grandparents but I am much poorer in space and in time.
However. I value free movement in Europe and can see that commons rules, a cosmopolitan society and various other Euro-paraphilia are advantages so I had thought that congestion is just a price I have to pay. Up until now I have accepted the pro-Europe stance. The world is coalescing into large power blocks. In a world of super powers Europe needs to stick together. We are economically and politically better off as we can get better deals if we negotiate as a united block. Sounds reasonable.
So what's changed?
What's changed is the abject failure of the leader of the main pro-EU party to mount any reasoned defense of the UK's membership of the EU. What's changed is that rather than Nick Clegg seeking to convince me with rational debate, he sought to bamboozle me with deceitful statistics, absurd slurs and patronizing rhetoric. (Try saying "wind the clock back" one more time Nick). Far from being a reasoned pragmatist I can see he is another arrogant establishment know-it-all who thinks the public are too stupid to understand the truth. He was TALKING BOLLOCKS and could quite easily have fitted in New Labour along with so many current MPs of all parties.
Of course there are right wing racist in Britain that we should be wary of and since parties like the BNP are going nowhere it's probably true that some of these people will switch the UKIP.
But I am becoming increasingly aware of a different and equally distasteful form of bigotry that goes un-criticised, overlooked and is now so prevalent that it is acceptable even for national politicians. It is the bigotry of the Left. One only has to read the comments to articles in The Guardian or The Independent to recognise the hysterical and hate filled lunatics which slaver over each article attempting to connect Farage with Putin or brand the Tories as racists for daring to even consider an immigration policy. Many of the articles in these papers are not much better and some Labour MPs treat the allegation of racism like a dog smelling the blood of an injured animal. They throw the term racist about without thought and now even insist that merely wanting Britain to be out of the EU is racist. This is deeply stupid and deeply insulting to a nation that has accepted millions of people from all over the world.
Of course we should be wary of populist parties given what happened in Europe in the '30s but populism is not a definite indicator of fascism. For years British politics was dominated by the Tories and the Liberals until the newly populist Labour party were propelled into power in the 1920s. Also, the main goal of Nigel Farage is merely a referendum on EU membership which, incidentally, should have been conducted before the Maastricht Treaty was signed. If a referendum were now held then, one way or another, UKIP's raison d'être should evaporate.
I had heard much of the argument between Farage and Clegg before but Farage made one new statement that made me think. When the European Economic Community (EEC) was formed the world was comprised of separate countries with industries protected by trade tariff barriers. The creation of the EEC was a way to create a large free trade zone which encouraged trade and promoted prosperity. Partly because of the example of the EEC the whole world is tearing down trade barriers and entering free trade agreements. Given this, how did political union get onto the agenda?
Farage made some excellent arguments against EU membership but there are reasons in favour that Clegg (and mindless left-wing bigots) seem too stupid to discuss. However, I no longer believe that British membership of the EU is good by default. I need to be convinced and am having a rethink. Prior to the upcoming election for the European Parliament in May I intend to do some research and perhaps the pro-European lobby will find someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about.
It's said that the main reason for "ever closer union" was to put an end to the devastating conflicts between Germany and France. Very good. That's their reason for remaining in the EU.
What's ours?

Stuff That Won't Be In The Book – Part 2
Posted Nov 12 2008 5:52am
Is it wrong that I craved black bean soup for breakfast? I was going to have it last night for dinner, but butternut squash and a Boca burger got in the way, so I threw it in the fridge for lunch today. Only, I woke up really hungry for bean soup. I hope it doesn't wait until I'm having my tooth filled this afternoon to reach my nether regions, if you know what I mean.
Anyhoo…let's get on to Part 2. Thanks for all your positive comments about the first story. I really appreciate your feedback. For those of you new to my blog, an explanation:
I've done a lot of writing the last six months and after restructuring and rethinking the angle of my book, there are several stories that will end up on the cutting room floor. Before they do, I thought I'd share some of them here.
The book is largely about how I lived life at all my various weights. Some of the stories I'll share here will be condensed or referred to in the book, so this is my chance to expand on the details a little more.
In the
first installment
, I left you with the surprise goodnight kiss. Here's what happened next:
Eighteen months later, on a hot, humid June night, Larry surprised me again.
I was pounding out a features story on my computer in the air-conditioned upstairs of our house when he knocked on the door and asked if he could come in. He said he needed to talk. I knew that line. It always meant there was a financial issue we had to work out. He probably wanted to talk about the car.
My 1987 Chevy Cavalier needed a new transmission and I'd been reluctant to fix it because I could barely pay for food, insurance, the kids' school lunches, clothes and my wardrobe (now in a larger size) on a journalist's salary, which in Clarion meant $14,000 a year for 50-plus hours a week of writing, driving and pulling out my hair.
I wrote in the newsroom and at home. I drove everywhere in the county and took countless photos of school art projects and music festivals. I interviewed people with profound stories to tell and people who grew freakishly large pumpkins and zucchinis. At the end of the day, I had just enough energy to write one last story but not enough to talk about money. It made my stomach upset, and it was already in a funk because I'd eaten, as usual, too much of whatever I'd made for dinner, and the prescription strength Zantac hadn't kicked in yet.
I'd stopped weighing myself at home and I never looked when I stepped on the scale every six months at the doctor's office. I assumed I was at or past 200 pounds by how quickly 80 degrees made me sweat and the fact that I no longer tucked. All my shirts were worn outside my pants and skirts again. I was back in "If you hide it, it's not there" mode, but not because I was sensitive about my body image. I was OK looking the way I looked because life was good. I had a permanent roof over my head; my girls were happy, thriving teenagers; and I was in love with a solid guy whose life was devoid of drama, although he worried about money a lot more than I did.
"Come on in," I sighed. I saved the document, and sat down next to Larry on the futon.
"Remember last month when you came home from church on Mother's Day," he said, "and you asked me what our future looked like, if we were just playing house or if we were going to get serious?"
Hunh? Get serious about what? A car?
"Well, I did a lot of thinking about that," he continued as he reached in his pocket and took out a small black box, "and I'd like to know, would you marry me?"
I'm a writer and a mother. I'm never without words. Then again, I'd never been proposed to. I'd been married three times but never asked. It was always assumed. Engagements were like business arrangements. One of us would say, "I suppose we should, you know, get married." To which the other would reply, "Yes, I guess that's the next logical move."
I didn't know what to say. My mind was prepared to talk about money. Instead, I was sitting on a futon and wearing a sweaty tank top and elastic-band shorts and being handed a little box with a sparkling pear-shaped diamond ring inside.
"Oh, Larry, it's beautiful!" was what I managed to get out.
He took the ring out of the box and put it on my finger.
"It's just beautiful," I stammered again, staring at my finger. "I love it. It's so pretty."
I looked at Larry and he was beaming. I smiled back.
"I thought you wanted to talk about my stupid car again!" I said and smacked him on the thigh. Then I looked at my finger again. "Wow. It's really pretty."
Larry let me sit there for another minute with my jaw on the floor before he cleared his throat "Lynn?" he said. "You haven't answered my question."
"Hunh?" I looked at him for a second when finally my brain leaped back into my body. "Oh my gosh, I haven't, have I? Yes, yes, of course I'll marry you!"
I threw my arms around his neck and peeked again at the ring behind his back. Then we called my parents, told the girls and set a date. We would be married October 3.
By the end of September, we had the place, a preacher, the wine, the food, and an RSVP'd guest list of 54 friends and family members. The only thing missing was my dress.
While being married didn't scare me, getting married did. In all the excitement, I forgot about the part where 54 people and Larry would be watching me and taking pictures. Even on my best calorie-reduced diet, I couldn't lose 30 pounds in a week and no amount of industrial strength spandex could make 200 pounds look like 170. I paged through Lane Bryant and Roamans catalogs hoping to find something that would drape and hide while still signifying that I was the bride and not the matronly grandmother. Unfortunately, the models in these plus-size catalogs are so thin they wouldn't really fit in the clothes they're selling without alterations. I knew there was no way the cocktail dresses on the leggy brunette and the lanky blond would look the same on my 5'5", 200-pound frame. I couldn't take a chance on something I didn't actually see on me first, so a few days before the wedding, I went shopping in a real mall. I hadn't gone shopping since I busted out of size 14s because it wasn't fun shopping for clothes that covered me up.
I shopped alone, and for two hours I tried on skirts, pants, dresses, and tops, squeezed into body shapers, and poured the "girls" into industrial strength bras, all under unforgiving fluorescent lights. Flushed and frustrated and cursing myself for ignoring this latest weight gain, I settled on a long black skirt with a small-link gold chain belt and matching black jacket in size 18. It fit a little big, but in my eyes it gave the illusion that I was smaller. I tried on lace-up boots with 3-inch heels, but they hurt my toes and would make me taller than Larry, and God knows I didn't want to stick out any more than I knew I would. I bought black flats instead.
It rained and I didn't like the way my stylist curled my hair, but on our wedding day, I was more happy than insecure. I reminded myself during the champagne toast that Larry met the 140-pound me, dated the 180-pound me and married the 200-pound me. A few times during the day, my size reminded me of the albatross it was, causing small pangs of self-consciousness any time someone said, "I want a picture!" Pangs that felt like I was being pricked with a needle along my spine. The script in my head told me that what I looked like that day would forever be a part of our family's photo albums, so with every flash I cringed a little. But at least I was smiling, and for the most part I meant it.
Within a few days the out-of-town guests were gone and life was back to normal. The memory of the self-consciousness and the prickly feeling of being photographed faded. Once in awhile I thought about losing weight, but life was sane and in sync. I was loved and accepted for who I was. Losing weight didn't seem urgent. Neither did not gaining. By our one-year anniversary I weighed 215 pounds.

Giada offers AMD-powered A51 series mini computer
Not too long ago it seemed like every time we turned around Shuttle was unveiling a new small form factor computer or mini PC. It's been a while now since we heard from Shuttle, but Giada has been picking up the slack with what seems to be a never-ending stream of mini PCs for customers to choose from. The latest to come from Giada is the new A51 mini PC series powered by an AMD processor.

Commercial Street, London
Commercial Street is an arterial road in Tower Hamlets, east London that runs north to south from Shoreditch High Street to Whitechapel High Street through the East End district of Spitalfields. The road is a section of the A1202 London Inner Ring Road and as such forms part of the boundary of the London congestion charge zone.
As the name implies, Commercial Street has historically been dominated by industrial and commercial activity, which it maintains to this day. It is on the City fringes, and much industry that was seen as too noisome for the City was once exiled to such areas as this. However, since the early 1990s the street has grown increasingly fashionable, while maintaining its busy commercial feel.
The district was historically one of the poorest, most overcrowded and most crime-ridden in London: a parliamentary report of 1838 described it as harbouring "an extremely immoral population; women of the lowest character, receivers of stolen goods, thieves and the most atrocious offenders".[1] The southern section of Commercial Street was created in 1843-5 as part of a slum clearance programme, and to connect the Whitechapel thoroughfare with Spitalfields Market.[2] It was laid out by the architect and planner Sir James Pennethorne along the approximate line of former Essex Street, Rose Lane and Red Lion Street, and entailed the demolition of some 250 sub-standard properties in Whitechapel and Spitalfields. The extension north from the market, to the Eastern Counties Railway's Bishopsgate terminus and to Shoreditch High Street, was made in 1849-57 and opened in 1858.[3][4] In both phases of development there was some initial difficulty in finding tenants for the building plots, and much of the street was not built up until the 1860s and 1870s. Only once Great Eastern Street had been laid out further north in 1872-6, creating a continuation of the route towards Old Street and the City Road, did Commercial Street really begin to succeed as what had always been Pennethorne's aim, an artery allowing traffic to bypass the City of London. With the implementation of the London Congestion Zone in the 2000s, the road has once again seen continued activity from private and commercial vehicles seeking to avoid the 7am-7pm charge, and is a typical arterial route for emergency vehicles.
Until the late twentieth century, the street was heavily dominated by the activities of Spitalfields wholesale fruit and vegetable market, and by outlets for the 'rag trade' (the wholesale clothing and textile trade). Since the mid-1970s, however, the area has been increasingly subject to a process of gradual gentrification. In part, this reflects the changing character of Spitalfields more generally, but in Commercial Street in particular it was stimulated by the departure of the market in 1991 (and subsequent redevelopment of its buildings), the arrival of a number of private residential developments (such as The Exchange Building at 132 Commercial Street, especially at the northern end of the street), and the introduction of some modest traffic-calming measures. Many of the commercial units in the street are now occupied by fashionable clothing shops or restaurants.
Topography and architecture[edit]
The street's most significant features are Hawksmoor's grand Christ Church, on the corner of Fournier Street; and (almost opposite) Spitalfields Market, the old fruit and vegetable market that is now bustling again after a long period of uncertainty. Both the market buildings and Christ Church are lucky survivors, as demolition has loomed for both of them at one point or another.
The northern end of the street is dominated, on its eastern side, by the sprawling Exchange Building, an old Art Deco tobacco works, now residential. On the western side stands the former Commercial Street Police Station (built 1874-5, with an extra storey added in 1906), also now a residential block named Burhan Uddin House. Just to its south, with a wing extending into Folgate Street, is the first tenement block of model dwellings to be erected by the Peabody Donation Fund (now the Peabody Trust) for London's "industrious poor". The red-brick Jacobethan block was designed by H.A. Darbishire and opened in 1864, but was sold by the Trust in the late 1970s, and is now a private residential block named The Cloisters.
On the opposite corner of Fournier Street from Christ Church is the Ten Bells, a pub that is popularly associated with Jack the Ripper, as two of his female prostitute victims are supposed to have frequented the establishment. Many Ripper tours (a thriving industry) start out nearby. Although the pub has long been refurbished, it still retains some fine original tilework. Prostitution is still a feature of Commercial Street to this day, which has led to it being dubbed as 'the Worst Street in London.'[5][6]
Much of the southern section of the street is occupied by warehouse buildings of the 1860s. Wentworth Street (part of the busy Petticoat Lane Market) runs off Commercial Street to the west. Immediately to the south of Wentworth Street lies the Holland Estate, a social housing estate with elements dating back to the 1920s, but which is dominated on its Commercial Street frontage by blocks of the late 1960s and early 1970s, including a 22-storey tower block, Denning Point. The estate is now managed by Eastend Homes, and is currently (2012) undergoing a major programme of regeneration, which will see the demolition and replacement of several of the blocks. To the south again is the 11-storey Ibis London City budget hotel, which opened in 2005. On the eastern side of Commercial Street stands Toynbee Hall, the university settlement founded in 1884.
One Commercial Street is a new 21-storey residential development. In 2014, an investigation by The Guardian noted a growing trend in London to have a separate entrance in new housing developments, commenting particularly on One Commercial Street. Legislation requires that new blocks in many locations must include an element of "affordable housing" if they are to gain planning permission, and it has become more common for such developments to include a separate, segregated, entrance for those tenants, a "poor door".[7]
Nearby stations[edit]
The nearest London Underground station is Aldgate East, at Commercial Street's southern end. Shoreditch High Street London Overground station is at the northern end, by the former Bishopsgate Goods Yard. London Liverpool Street is a National Rail and London Transport interchange, a short walk to the west.

Recorded on October 11, 2011
From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Ernest Istook.
The death of Steve Jobs has unleashed a torrent of well-deserved praise for the founder of Apple Computers. He's been labeled a creative genius on the order of Leonardo daVinci or Thomas Edison.
So what did Steve Jobs say about America's schools, and what it takes to unleash every child's full potential?
In his words: "
I believe very strongly that if the country gave each parent a voucher…several things would happen. Number one, schools would start marketing themselves like crazy to get students. Secondly, I think you'd see a lot of new schools starting…. I believe that they would do far better than any of our public schools would. The third thing you'd see is…the quality of schools again, just in a competitive marketplace, start to rise."
Steve Jobs wanted school choice, not an education system run by government bureaucrats. It's worth thinking about.

Matthew Perry will welcome one of his former co-stars to his new series "Go On" later this season.
No, there's not a "Friends" reunion in the offing. Bradley Whitford, who starred with Perry in "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," will guest on an episode airing after the new year.
"Working with Bradley Whitford again is so much fun," Perry tweeted Wednesday (Dec. 19). "I mean, I wish we weren't in a hot tub together, but you can't ask for everything."
There's no word yet on the character Whitford will be playing -- or if, in fact, he and Perry's Ryan King do, in fact, end up in a hot tub.
"Go On" returns with new episodes on NBC Jan. 8. »

By Mario Santiago Papasquiaro, translated by Cole Heinowitz and Alexis Graman
Publication Date: June 4, 2013
ISBN# 9781933517681 (6.5x8 45pp, paper)
American readers might recognize Mario Santiago Papasquiaro as the eccentric and renegade Ulises Lima in Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives. This canonical, book-length poem of Infrarealism was Santiago Papasquiaro's response to the Beats and chronicle of his own literary circle. Full of politics and gossip, this poem brings to life Mexico in the 1970s.
Santiago's distress, derangement, and rages extend from a deep faith in poetry and its ability to both inscribe and incite new perceptions...
Zach Savich, The Kenyon Review
Best known as the inspiration for the irascible Ulises Lima in Roberto Bolaño's famed novel The Savage Detectives, Santiago Papasquiaro is a formidable poet in his own right. His lyricism borders on the profane, with its bawdy metaphors and extensive use of vernacular imagery, often favoring an "ugly," highly visceral beauty over the prim imagery found in more formal work.
Library Journal
Papasquiaro's poem, like much of Bolaño's fiction, is a kind of nightmare spent in the company of one's best friends.
Robyn Creswell, The Paris Review
The poem is built like a roadside grotto—crystals, fossils, dinner plates, bottle caps—the materials are secondary to the construction, to the act of constructing, and oh, what a construction this is.
BJ Love, The Quarterly Conversation
Insolent, ecstatic, perverse, enthusiastic; Santiago's poem is a beacon for the pursuit of life via poetry.
Patrick Dunagan, New Pages
Mario Santiago Papasquiaro was born José Alfredo Zendejas Pineda (Mexico City, 1953). In 1975, he and Roberto Bolaño founded the radical Infrarealist poetry movement. During his lifetime, Santiago published two books of poetry, Beso eterno (1995) and Aullido de Cisne (1996). Santiago died in Mexico City in 1998.
Cole Heinowitz is the author of three books of poetry, Daily Chimera (Incommunicado Press, 1995), Stunning in Muscle Hospital (Detour Press, 2002), and The Rubicon (The Rest Press, 2008). Her poetry has appeared in journals including Fence, HOW2, The Brooklyn Rail, The Poker, Factorial!, 6X6, Highway Robbery, Mirage 4 Period(ical), and Clock. Heinowitz is also the author of the critical study, Spanish America and British Romanticism, 1777-1826: Rewriting Conquest (Edinburgh University Press, 2010). Other critical writings have appeared in the journals European Romantic Review and Revista Hispánica Moderna, and in the collectionsRomanticism and the Anglo-Hispanic Imaginary (Rodopi Press) and "Sullen Fires Across the Atlantic:" Essays in British and American Romanticism (Romantic Circles Praxis Series). Heinowitz received a B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of California, San Diego, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Brown University. In 2000-1, she was the recipient of a Fulbright Grant for dissertation research in Seville, Spain. Heinowitz lives in Boiceville, NY and is Associate Professor of Literature at Bard College.
Alexis Graman was born in Helena, Montana. He completed undergraduate degrees in American Studies and Studio Arts at Bard College in 2012. He now lives in Queens, New York, where he paints, writes, and translates.

Plea deal reached in Modesto teen's baby-poisoning case
A teenage Modesto mother accused of trying to place rat poison in her month-old baby's formula bottle accepted a plea deal that will result in a six-year prison sentence.
Cashel Sophia Phin, 18, had been charged with attempted murder, two counts of soliciting to commit murder and one count of willful poisoning. She pleaded guilty Monday morning to a single count of soliciting to commit murder; Deputy District Attorney Beth O'Hara Owen dismissed the remainder of the charges in return.
The infant, Anna, was healthy and safe after her mother was arrested.
Phin appeared in a red jail inmate jump suit, with shackles on her wrists and ankles and with a short haircut.
A court-appointed interpreter assisted Phin and translated what was said. She spoke only two words, answering "no contest" when Superior Court Judge Linda McFadden asked for her plea.
McFadden scheduled sentencing Nov. 15, pending the completion of a probation report. Donnell Snipes, Phin's defense attorney, expressed concern to the judge that the sentence would end up longer than six years after the probation recommendation is complete. McFadden assured him that the deal Phin accepted included the six-year offer.
Phin was arrested May 9 after she told a fellow Modesto High School student that she wanted to kill her baby by throwing it into a trash can, according to Modesto police.
Investigators went to Phin's house, where they were told that Phin had swung her purse at the infant and tried to persuade her sister to kill the child by feeding her rat poison, police said.

Taking another look at treasury technology
Treasury technology might not have the allure of Google Glass. It might seem to outsiders like the quiet corner of the firm removed from flashy technology advances. But in an article that ran in bobsguide, Bank of America Merrill Lynch senior vice president and EMEA treasury specialist Des Twort argues that treasury technology is making great strides--if not right in front of our eyes, then under our noses.
Assessing the macro risks of Bitcoin
The individual risks of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies have been well documented and basically fall into two categories, fraud and currency risk. In the big picture, however, experts say the risks and opportunities of virtual currencies are much harder to define.
Is technology worth more than brokerage?
CME Group's planned purchase of the technology assets of inter-dealer broker GFI Group, announced last week, raised some interesting questions about how brokerage operations are valued. Through a pair of strategic transactions, CME Group isn't just valuing GFI's Trayport and FENICS technology units more highly than GFI's inter-dealer brokerage, it is valuing them more than four times as high.
Maker-Taker pricing continues to draw a wide variety of opinions
The issue of maker-taker pricing is one that has drawn strong opinions from both sides of the debate. Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeffrey Sprecher, one of the practice's most vocal critics, has advocated banning maker-taker pricing altogether. In his view the pricing method "creates false liquidity by attracting people who are there solely to make rebates and not actually trade and hold risk," he says.
