That video was painful to watch.
The Jungle, Upton Sinclair
East of Eden/ Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
Work after Globalization, Guy Standing
If I were in front of the camera and running for president I would start by pointing out that I named my first born Aldous after the great Mr Huxley, clearly mentioning Brave New World and its lessons, whilst avoiding the Doors of Perception - if I asked directly I would say I never swallowed the Mescalin and call an end to the press conference.
If I avoided the drugs question I would also cite Treasure Island by Ropbert Louis Stevenson as being the booked that made me fall in love with literature as a child, using this to highlight my campaigns focus on child literacy.
And finally I would cop-out (being a politician and all) saying the Bible and the great lessons it has to teach such as.... (at this point the wheels come off and I join Poor Mr Peña Nieto)
I agree with Mexpat, Hieblan and Una Mexicana, but I would also add, and forgive me for this, prospero, that failing to mention three book's names and their respective authors is a flaw and not more. One can suppose the guy was having a bad day. Just like the one Perry had when he couldn't mention all three US government agencies he wants to dismiss.
What I find really alarming is what followed the mockery of internet users: after his daughter twitted the message where she disdains Mexico's poorest, many persons justified the kid's expressions as "natural, when someone is attacking your father".
Yes, if someone attacks any of my beloved ones I certainly wouldn't sit around and contemplate it, therefore I would justify her calling these people "assholes", but calling them "prole" (lower class) reveals a lot of what you can expect if this guy manages to become Mexico's new president.
Fooled By Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Fight Club by Chuck Palhanuik
That about sums it up for me!
Playboy and Penthouse.
....but only for the articles of course
Hahahaha - but as a politician you would have to lie... oh yeah, you did :)
The books which I read over and over :
The Discovery of India - by JN Nehru which made me love history forever
The Dilbert principle - which taught me not to take corporate life (and myself in it)seriously
Performing Flea - a collection of letters by PG Wodehouse ...the importance of humour in making of a compassionate human being and to appreciate the beauty of the English language
As myself, my 3 books are:
1. Goedel, Escher, Bach by Douglas A. Hofstaedter
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
3. Revenge of Gaia by James Lovelock
If running for public office, my 3 choices will be:
1. Management by Peter Drucker
2. Bushido by Inazo Nitobe
3. Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman
On a side note, the 3 movies that have left a mark on my life are:
1. Gandhi
2. Life of Brian
3. My neighbour Totoro
Two "serious" books - "1984" and "Brave new world". I remember reading "Brave new world" while taking the DLR through Canary Wharf in London and being horrified of how looking through the window I could see what I was reading in the book. Yes, sadly, the world left the Orwellian paradigm in 1989 only to start venturing into Huxley-ian territory in the last 10 years. Our happiness depends more on iGadgets than on families...
The third one... undoubtedly, Catch-22!
I don't believe that a book or two can put a mark in your life (unless you have read only 3 or 4 books seriously). There are many things that mark and un-mark the marks with the flow of time.
However, at this moment I am thinking to list,
1. Animal Farm - George Orwell
2. A brief history of time- Stephen Hawking
3. The books I have loved - OSHO
Just let me tell you that his daughter recently tweeted something like this: Hello to all the idiots that form part of the proletariat
Now I am sure who is not my favourite candidate
Plato's The Republic. Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathrustra and finally Yamamoto Tsunetomo's Hagakure.
Why people list pop-fiction novels as life changing I'll never know...
Re: Why fiction can be life changing - Michael Phoenix
Speaking personally its generally because "facts" are less life changing then ideas and ideas are more empathically delivered in novels than in "opinion" type books.
Most recent pop-fiction that has affected me was "The tortilla curtain" by TC Boyle, but the teenage ones will almost always have the most impact on peoples life because they form our characters.
Which sadly probably isn't a good one for a mexican politician to cite.
Then again I don't class myself as an intellectual, and find the navel gazing of most philosophers pretentious and counter productive. (I am however a fan of the phrase "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" :-))
Philosophy contains the most profound ideas ever conceived by mankind, I fail to see what it lacks for the enquiring mind.
The biggest problem with the Philosophical establishment is that they are overly content with spending forever debating and never moving forward, never actualising the lofty concepts they study so diligently, hence my love of Nietzsche.
Until mankind figures out what it's supposed to be doing and understands itself better all this chronicling of cultural madness is a frivolity. Where better is this demonstrated than in Politics, where persons by self admission are not "intellectuals" but seek the power of governance and dominion over nations, making vested interest decisions rather than making altruistic choices for the good of the people.
But again regarding the exaltation of pop-fiction I'll leave you with this parable.
"The pauper in the street who forages through the rough and finds himself a diamond will surely believe himself to be rich.
The king, already wealthy, searches his riches to find that which is most truly treasured and knows himself poor until he find it"
The beggar realises that the only true riches are a full belly for himself and his children, whereas the coddled King realises all his riches are but dross.
By defintion philosphy must contain the most profound ideas of mankind. This does not mean that philosophers are the ones that present them in a manner which can have the most impact on an individual.
An aversion to philosophers is not the same thing as an aversion to philosophy. :-)
Spoken like a true politician
So let us not forget in our parable neither, the politician who sits in the middle, praising and inciting the poor, criticising and admonishing the king, understanding the plight of neither but benefiting from both.
Yes I agree, your parable is the truer of the two.
I think it pretty obvious a philosopher would have trouble explaining his insight to the unlearned, I wouldn't expect to have Hawking explain to me the cosmos at his level.
Perhaps however, if I stopped reading pop-science-fiction, I could make some progress towards some truer insight...
On the subject of books, I'd personally say James and the Giant Peach, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and the Prince.
As a politician, I'd agree with some of the other commentators about 1984, and add On Liberty by J.S. Mill and maybe Doctor Zjivago to be pretentious, or Lord of the Rings to seem more popular.
And as for newspapers or magazines, I'd say the Economist (Yes, really!), the Observer, and the New Yorker.
The Poetic Edda - Snorri (Respect for the gods & how to live a good life)
The Prince – Machiavelli (success in political situations)
On War - Clausewitz (when to apply force and methods of matching tactics to strategy to succeed)
Modern Times by Paul Johnson
Bloodlands by Timothy Snyder
Bonhoeffer - Eric Metaxas
This is the kind of douches that try to rule México, and his daughter in a Twitt call all mexicans "pendejos de la prole" because some guys in the internet made fun of this incident (the 3 books thing) a very close translation is "ass hole proletarians" referring to all mexicans..
If some one knows spanish and read spanish can see all in the #ForeverProle and #libreriaPeñannieto
Hello Hieblan. I think the second Twitter hashtag you mentioned actually is "#LibreriaPeñaNieto" (meaning "Peña NIeto Bookstore", English speakers). Lots of fun guaranteed for Spanish speakers.
I'll give a try to the #LibreriaPeñaNieto.
Mexican's sense of humour is alive and well, at least. The same cannot be said of the PRI or mr. Peña Nieto's candidacy.
"The Counterlife/American Pastoral" by Philip Roth
"Slouching Toward Bethlehem/The White Album" by Joan Didion
"Midnight's Children/Satanic Verses" by Salamn Rushdie
"God and Man At Yale/Nearer My God" William F. Buckley
"Letters to a Young Contarian/God is Not Great" by Christopher Hitchens
"Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis
"Heart of Darkness/Lord Jim" by Joseph Conrad
"Lolita/Pale Fire/Pnin" by Vladimar Nabokov
"Road to Serfdom" by Friedrich von Hayek......read these-a primer on the 20th/21st centuries...
The books that have influenced you most are quite different from your favourite books though, aren't they?
For me, it would probably be
1) Les Misérables (about people, different types of leadership, morals, poverty... there is so much insight in this book, it really affected me and I think it's as relevant today as it was in the 19th century)
2) Le Rouge et Le Noir (about power and ambition and its costs)
3) L'Ancien Régime et La Révolution (regime change - the regime before often has a lot more in common with the revolutionary regime than the revolutionaries might like to admit... also very interesting on the nature of liberty/equality and how freedom can be eroded)
It seems a triple answer is too much for the modern politician's brains.
They've been trained by media coaches and admen to speak only the shortest available soundbites, one "idea" at a a time — if we want to be generous and call "ideas" the banalities their scriptwriters provide for these ocasions.
A triple answer is too demanding an intellectual challenge for them.
It seems questions demanding three answers have lately been poison for politicians.
Didn't that Perry guy from Texas crash in flames because he could not name three federal agencies or programs he would terminate if elected?

Latest News
Ironman Bugs FixedThe method used for detecting ironman accounts has been changed. Previously, the top 10 pages of every skill on the OSRS hiscores would be periodically scraped to find ironman accounts and register them as such on CML. Now, multiple requests per update are made to the RuneScape hiscores under certain circumstances. Consequently, updating an ultimate ironman account will take significantly longer because three requests have to be made to the RuneScape hiscores. This is necessary to ensure that the account is still an ultimate ironman, since an account can remain on ultimate ironman hiscores after degrading to regular ironman. This change fixes several bugs:
- RuneScape 3 Virtual Hiscores ironman filters now work
- Any ironman account will be registered as an ironman regardless of skill ranks
- Newly tracked accounts will immediately obtain proper ironman status rather than waiting until the next periodical scrape of the hiscores

Hey guys (and girls)-
I'm attempting to construct my first recipe to brew in my first AG attempt. I've used a couple different references (Designing Great Beers is one) along with BeerSmith to guide me.
I recently had a Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale. I'm a bit of a hophead and love IPAs and wanted to attempt creating something close to this style. They actually listed the recipes on their site!
So this is what I came up with. If you have any opinions I would love to hear them. I'm particulary concerned with my hop amounts I chose. I tried hitting 60+ IBUs using the hops they had listed (except Palisade, which I substituted Cascade).
Est OG : 1.060
Est Final: 1.014
Using Default Efficiency : 68%
Boil Size : 5.5 gallons
Mash Temp : 149-154deg
Grain Bill
11 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (3.0 SRM)
12.0 oz Munich Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
12.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
Hop Bill (the interesting part!)
0.75 oz Chinook [13.00%] (60 min)
0.50 oz Magnum [14.00%] (45 min)
0.50 oz Centennial [10.00%] (10 min)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50%] (Dry Hop 3 days)
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50%] (Dry Hop 3 days)
1 Pkgs American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056)
So, what do you guys think? I'd appreciated any comments you got!
I guess I'll take no replies as a positive!
This looks like a well balanced beer.
How long of a boil are you planning? 90? 75? 60 minutes?
You'll get more efficiency out of your last hop addition if you add it with 15 minutes left in the boil.
You could go 5 days on the dry hop without a problem, unless it interferes with your racking scheme.
I ferment 5 days, then dry hop in the primary for 5 days, then rack to the brite tank.
Fermenter: Blonde Ale
Brite tank: -0-
Kegged: -0-
For a 5.5 gal batch, I would go with about 4 - 6 oz of CaraPils as 12 oz is a bit over kill. Also, This is similar to my IPA in terms of the malt bill and I like the Munich for malt character. I use 1 lb of Munich. You can even go to 1.5 lbs if you wish. If you want to boost the malty flavor more, go with 1 lb M10 and 0.5 lbs M20.
Just my 2 cents.
Dr Malt
"CaraPils" is a term used often for any kind of dextrin malt. The idea behind a "dextrin malt" is it contains dextrins like maltodextrin that add body, mouthfeel and foam stability to the beer. If I recall correctly, there are about 3 dextrin malts made by 3 different maltsters. Each of those 3 dextrin malts are a bit different in terms of color, flavor and the way they are made.
The dextrin malt made by Briess has the trade marked name of "CaraPils". According to Briess, it is "a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. Use up to 5%." Their typical analysis shows the color on this malt of 1.3 - 1.5, moisture of 6.5% and extract (FGDB) of 73%. This is a low kilned malt to produce low colors and little flavor development. Other dextrin malts have colors in the 3 -7 range and one is more a very light color caramel malt.
The real question here is do these malts contain any true dextrins? No maltster gives a dextrin analysis with their malts. Also,can you actually measure a difference in your beer with and without these malts in terms of body, foam retention and beer stability? I have not seen that data and if someone has, please share it with us. So I would suggest that if a recipe has dextrin malt or CaraPils in the recipe, it is up to you whether to include it or not and I don't think you will see much of a difference in your beer. If you don't have CaraPils and want dextrin in your beer, add a tablespoon or 2 of maltodextrin. At least you are sure you have truly added dextrins to your beer.

HAMPTON, Ga. - When Travis Kvapil got the call Friday, he figured someone on his race team was playing a joke.
HAMPTON, Ga. - After the glitz of Daytona, it's time for the NASCAR grind.

Illinois offensive coordinator Mike Locksley has been interviewed by Clemson according to at least two outlets -- the Anderson (S.C.) Independent-Mail and Champaign (Ill.) News-Gazette.
Locksley's name first came up for the Syracuse opening but Clemson seems a much better fit. The program is ready to win now and Locksley brings an impressive offensive resume. He opened up the Washington, D.C. area to Illinois from where it plucked 2007 All-American Vontae Davis and receiver Arrellious Benn.
The interview reportedly took place in Detroit two weeks ago when the Illini were there to play Western Michigan. Illinois concludes its regular season Saturday at Northwestern needing a win to become bowl eligible.

You have probably noticed by now that Alex Kozora has been brought on to contribute to site and he should compliment the tremendous writing that both Matthew Marczi and Jeremy Hritz contribute to the site.
Alex really loves the X\'s and O\'s of the game and his primary focus will be individual player and play breakdowns during the season with perhaps a few other projects mixed in. Once the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Super Bowl in February, and perhaps even sooner than that, his focus will then turn towards the draft so that he can get a head start on me.
Make sure to give these guys a hand every now and again.

Overall: 4.8 / 5 based on 49 reviews
48 of 49 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.
great gadget -
By: Andycam from Cambridge UK
I have struggled with old leader and tippet and hate the idea of dropping it. So when I saw this product I thought great. I bought one for me and one for my friend. It works perfectly, sadly used it the first day following several tangles. They arrived quickly and in good order. Would recommend it!
Helpful product -

A nice gizmo to put your garbage line/tippet in. I keep mine on my vest with a retractor at a handy place to reach it easily. Keeps environment clean and wildlife safe. Every angler should have one. For the price, why not?
An essential accessory -
By: ShefffieldFlyFisher from Sheffield England
The Monomaster is set to become my favourite accessory no more hassle trying to put waste material into an old film canister from now on. A must have piece of kit for any responsible angler.
What a great idea -
By: MikeFlyer from Cheadle Hulme
Great a worthwhile product. I have been using it for a few months now and it stores all my discarded tippet. Only emptied it once. Simple to use and light enough to hang from my fly vest.

A nice gizmo that helps protect the environment. Easy to use and not cumbersome. I clip it to the front of my vest and I'm set.
Good idea -
By: BobRich from Whispering Pines, NC
This is a good idea. I am definitely going to use it. However, I haven't had any mono to dispose of yet. Still practicing in the back yard. Tried fishing in the canal and lost one fly in a tree. The water is too hot for the fish to be biting. I need to find some running water.
Good for the environment -

Flooring w/walk-out basement
lmagenisMarch 17, 2011
I'd like to put down laminate or some other solid surface flooring (no tile) when we finish our basement for our 1 year old son's playroom. The only way it could flood is if the first floor bathroom has a severe flood. The main problem that I'm facing is that the sliding glass door was installed flush with the concrete slab. So, I do not have much room for flooring. I think the XPS, ply, laminate combo would be higher than the door threshold. I am looking for the thinnest way to keep my floors warm. Thank you for your help!

The former Patriots and Browns 10-year veteran thinks the league needs to look further into whatever is going on in Suh's head or he'll just keep getting into trouble, as he has time and time again.

To catch a cat: Inside the bizarre search for Brandon's Butterscotch
Caring volunteers set up traps to capture cat whose head is stuck in a bug trap
UPDATE: According to the Brandon and Area Lost Animals Facebook page, Butterscotch the cat was found Saturday morning and has been freed from the trap on its head.
BRANDON—It's getting near dusk, and Toni Gramiak is down on all fours setting a trap for a cat. The bait is a piece of fried chicken tied to a string.
"It's KFC tonight," she says.
Gramiak sprays some pheromone in nearby bushes. She sprinkles catnip and lays out a handful of dried food.
The trap is not just for any cat. It's the orange-and-white tabby locals have dubbed "Butterscotch," otherwise known far and wide - with its photo splashed across newspapers and Internet sites across Canada - as the elusive stray with the bird feeder on its head.
"Obviously, he's become famous," Gramiak says. "A cat wearing a hat."
First, some clarification: It's not a bird feeder, it's a bug trap made of plastic. Second, the story behind the hunt for Butterscotch is more than just some cat-and-mouse effort by some unrelenting animal lovers that has now lasted more than two weeks.
In the words of Gramiak, who now spends most of her waking hours tracking the feline, it's "beyond bizarre."
Spoiler alert: She's right.
Butterscotch was first sighted in a suburb in Brandon's south end on July 23 by a concerned resident. Gramiak, co-ordinator for Brandon and Area Lost Animals, was notified.
So Gramiak loaded up her minivan with traps and night-vision cameras acquired for previous missions - she mostly tracks lost or stray dogs - and went to work.
Her goal was to follow the cat, track his routes and routine, and find the best spot to set her camouflaged traps. It's a mundane, time-consuming process. "We're interested in his path of travel, his behaviour," she explains. "We need to find a spot where he's calm."
From her minivan, Gramiak co-ordinates a handful of volunteers who station themselves around the upscale suburban neighbourhood. One is parked on a street frequented by Butterscotch. Another, Sandy Brown, is watching the monitors positioned outside the trap, set in a home where the cat was spotted by a paper carrier at the end of his nocturnal jaunts.
Gramiak notes spotting Butterscotch is easy. It's the trapping that's hard.
In the last two weeks alone, Gramiak estimates she's received about 75 calls, texts and emails of sightings from total strangers.
"These people are amazing," she says. "What people have done to help this cat. Incredible. They're going above and beyond. And it's just a cat, right?"
Sure enough, around 7:45 on Thursday night, Gramiak's phone buzzes. It's a text from a resident who has spotted the cat.
"He's here," Gramiak announces. "He's early."
Within minutes, Gramiak is parked in the area in question. And, behold, there's Butterscotch in the fur, lounging under a bush in a front yard across the street. The bug trap is still covering his head.
After a few minutes, the tabby gets up, stretches and prepares to cross the street right in front of Gramiak's vehicle. The moment the cat steps out on the street from behind a parked car, Gramiak notices a truck barreling down the street. She frantically tries to wave the driver down while Butterscotch, pretty much blindfolded, begins to amble across the pavement.
Fortunately, the truck misses Butterscotch by a split second. The wince-inducing moment was a glimpse of Gramiak's worst nightmare.
"To watch and know I can do nothing for him... it's hard," she says. "If he got hit by a car right in front of me... "
But Butterscotch is none the wiser. So he continues to a destination Gramiak says is a date like clockwork each evening: "His girlfriend's house."
"Without fail," Gramiak continues. "It's quite the relationship. But I think he has other girlfriends she doesn't know about. He's such a Casanova."
Gramiak knows the cat's routine because she and her volunteers have spent countless hours tracking him. Every night. All night. They say tranquilizer darts are too dangerous.
Gramiak also doesn't want to chase or spook Butterscotch using nets, given his limited vision. So they use only traps that are monitored.
So far, nothing.
Earlier this week was the closest call, when Butterscotch was seen by Brown and another volunteer, Laurie Unruh, milling about a trap in the wee hours. "We thought he was going to go in," Brown recalls. "We were like, 'One more step! One more step!' But he walked right by."
Adds Unruh: "It's frustrating. It's heartbreaking. It's a challenge. All you want to do is do the best for this cat."
It's unclear whether Butterscotch has owners, now or in the past - no one has stepped forward. If caught, the first order of business will be to "take that thing off his head, find out if he has owners (tattoo) and if he's a long, lost cherished pet. If not, we'll vet him and find him a home."
The good news is the trap has adjusted on Butterscotch's head to the point where he can eat and drink, which they didn't believe he could do at first. The bad news is KFC bait won't be so appealing.
Gramiak, however, insists Butterscotch would have been captured long ago if not for one man who has become her nemesis. Their bitter feud has resulted in threats issued, several calls to the local police and accusations of sabotage.
Oh, yeah, the bizarre part.
When asked about the "saboteur" in question, two area residents, who did not want to be identified, just exchange knowing glances.
Without prompting, they begin to rattle off stories, dating back years, of car windows being shot out by pellet guns, cars being egged, nails spread on driveways and dog feces left on car windows.
"It goes on and on," one says.
They suspect the man is the culprit, but have no proof. They just stay clear.
"Nobody will look at him," another neighbour says. "Who wants all that?"
Gramiak then explains how she was at first on talking terms with the man, but the relationship soured when she found him spreading lawn clippings in front of the trap soon after. The relationship turned sour.
Gramiak says the man began to intentionally create noise - using a water-pressure hose or banging on his fence - to keep Butterscotch away. He would turn on the lights (and cameras) that surround his home at all hours of the night.
"He started blatantly sabotaging right in front of me," Gramiak says. "We've had to start (tracking) from scratch."
As Gramiak is relating her grievances, the man steps outside his home and sits down on his front steps and stares at her vehicle, parked some 36 metres away. He then gets up and disappears into his attached garage.
Seconds later, Gramiak's vehicle is hit by a floodlight. It's the same man, standing in his front yard and pointing the blinding light towards Gramiak's vehicle. In the suburbs.
Gramiak isn't surprised. It happens on a regular basis.
"How do you like the spotlight?" she asks. "We might even get the strobe light if you're lucky."
After the man, in his 40s or early 50s, turns off the spotlight, a reporter approaches and asks for an interview.
"See ya," he says, retreating into the garage and shutting the door. "Get off my property or I'll call 911."
On one side, the Butterscotch Brigade of animal lovers. On the other, the man they believe to be keeping the cat out of the trap.
Volunteers like Jo-ann Pasklivich-Holder, who first brought Gramiak kippers and sardines to use as bait, know their efforts are seen by some residents as, pardon the pun, a little flighty.
"Some people say we're nuts. It's just a cat," the mental-health community worker shrugs. "To each his own. Everybody has a right to choose a cause. I'd help anybody in distress, people or animals."
It's the same reason Pasklivich-Holder recently volunteered to sandbag around homes in the Rural Municipality of Cornwallis, on the outskirts of Brandon. To help.
Pasklivich is adamant she'll keep up the hunt until Butterscotch is safe. Needless to say, Gramiak agrees.
"When I have to catch an animal, it's a job I have to do," she says. "It's something you can't walk away from. Not a cat that's in distress like this one. The cat has to be captured."
It's now approaching 1 a.m. early Friday morning and Gramiak is parked on a pitch-dark road, not far from the trap. Two monitors are flickering on her dashboard while she constantly scans websites and message boards for any word of her friendly prey. Another long night awaits.
What if you catch him, someone asks. What then?
"Sleep and eat," she replies. "And cuddle. He'll get cuddled whether he likes it or not."
