This recipe for halibut comes from a fisherman we met many years ago in Alaska. We spent a wonderful day out on his boat halibut fishing, and we caught some huge fish. Since we knew we would be eating halibut from the freezer for months to come we asked the fisherman for his favorite halibut recipe. His answer surprised us. He told us to stuff it with cheese and roll it in bread crumbs. It was a surprising answer. Up until that point I never would have thought to combine fish and cheese, but we figured that a halibut fisherman must know something about eating fish . That night I made this cheesy fish in the cramped kitchen of our RV and it instantly became a favorite. It isn't an elegant dish, since the cheese oozes all over, but it is do delicious no one seems to mind. I like to make the dish with halibut but any firm white fish will work just as well.
This year at Shavuot, anticipating some serious dairy and the inevitable cheesecake I wanted to lighten things up with our kosher wine selections. Let's face it, if you're going to be up late learning you probably don't want to be staring across the table at a bottle of Cabernet. So let's throw our pretensions aside and enjoy a few "ready to drink right now" wines that are fun and easy to approach.
2013 Or Haganuz Amuka Rose (Israel); $20. Or Haganuz winery was founded in 2005 at the foot of Mount Meron. A blend of Cabernet Franc (25%), Merlot (25%), Shiraz (25%) and Mourvedre (25%), this semi-dry rosé wine from the northern Galilee was blended from grapes from the Naburia plot in Amuka Vineyard.

In terms of dessert, Shavuot is is known for dairy desserts, especially cheesecakes. It is a wonderful time to experiment with a new and exciting cheesecake recipe. In addition to dairy meals, many people make a point to enjoy meat as a way to honor the yom tov. Here at Joy of Kosher we have hundreds of dessert recipes, the 25 below are a mix of dairy and non-dairy cheesecakes, pareve, gluten-free, no-bake and vegan desserts to help you plan your holiday menu.

We usually have meat for some of the Shavuot meals, although I love dairy so this meat menu was picked by hubby.
In the past 6 years I have put together 9 Shavuot menus for you: 3 book menus, 3 magazine menus, and 3 website menus. After 9 menus it's kinda (super) hard to keep creative. Truth is after 8 menus I started having menu block. Menu block looks like this: After developing and testing over 200 recipes in under 10 weeks for my new book (my skirt tooooo tight to button), looking into the book is like looking into your closet (busting with shmatas clothes) and screaming feeling like you have NOTHING to wear!!!
There is something about Shavuot that seems to demand crafts. Usually they revolve around flowers. I remember when my children would bring home the tissue paper flowers, or little decorated vases to use a centerpiece for the festive holiday. I guess it is because it is at a time of year when everything is in bloom and we want to enjoy the bounty of the season. But it is also because Shavuot is an agriculture holiday and very much connected to plants. We share a few favorite Floral Crafts in this article including a flower pony holder, napkin ring, tissue flowers and decoupage plates, oldies but goodies that never get boring. Here are some new ideas

Our Inspiration: The Mamilla hotel in Jerusalem is a culinary experience like no other. While vacationing in Israel with my family this past winter, the Shabbat weekend we spent at Mamilla was one that took our trip to a whole new level. We were surrounded by gourmet dishes bursting with classic and new flavor combinations; it was a veritable feast for the senses.
The count up continues!! With less than two weeks to go until the holiday of Shavuot we really need to start planning. I know some people have the custom to eat meat some of the days or some of the meals, but I figure we have enough meat menus on the site, what we are missing is more dairy menus that are nice enough to host company and enjoy as a festive holiday meal.
Here are four menus to take you through the two day holiday, if you live in Israel you get to choose, for the rest of you I got you covered.

Vegetables have long been the trusty side kick to steak, chicken and fish. A sort of companion to the main meal, in the best meals, it can highlight the best of the main, but in many instances it is really nothing, but a forgotten afterthought. Recently with the farm to table popularity and more interest in vegetarian and vegan foods, vegetables are finally playing a starring role on our plates.
Not just for vegetarians. In many restaurants around the country, vegetables are assuming the part of the hero with or without meat. Just because you are highlighting the vegetable doesn't mean you can't include a little meat flavoring to enhance it unless you are a vegetarian. I love getting inspired around the web and I feel like every few months there is a new vegetable taking center stage. Last month I shared a recipe for Shawarma Carrots which I happened to just serve again with beluga lentils and my kids couldn't get enough (especially the one that hates carrots and loves meat and spice), I was amazed.

Dairy meals are traditionally served on Shavuot because of the connection between the life sustaining properties of the Torah and milk. Blintzes and cheesecakes are often served along with the favorite, special occasion dairy dishes. When it comes to choosing certain cuisines, often we are faced with following the dairy or meat versions of the recipes. This can be a particularly difficult challenge when it comes to Italian cuisine, because dairy is such a central component. Here are 15 Italian dairy recipes to try this Shavuot.
We only eat meat about once or twice a week in my house. I am not sure when it happened, but over the years we just gravitated to a more vegetarian lifestyle. We all like a good steak and we enjoy burgers and hot dogs and stews and roasts, we are true omnivores, we just limit our meat. I think that keeping kosher actually pushes many of us in one direction or the other. If we are eating pasta we tend to go dairy so we can have our Parmesan cheese, while non kosher keepers don't think that way. Plus I have a small kitchen and only one sink, so I prefer to just stay on the dairy side of things most of the time.
Now that it is time to start planning for Shavuot it should be easy for me, but I like to find new things, different foods, something elevated that I don't cook all year. That is how I ended up with these two dishes perfect for the holiday, both using ricotta cheese.
This fancy French dish is actually much easier to make than you think! With pre-made pastry or crescent dough, a wheel of Les Petite Fermieres camembert cheese and just a few ingredients mixed together in a bowl, you can create this beautiful show-stopping appetizer.Posted in: | Cuisines: American, French
I am addicted to cheese! I could probably stop talking right now and you would totally understand what I mean when you check out these recipes. But just for good measure, I'll explain where this addiction came from. When I was pregnant with both of my children, I could eat cheese all day long! In fact, I ate nachos for dinner at least twice a week. I would melt tons of cheddar cheese on taco chips in the microwave and I was a happy pregnant-lady. These days, I have to be more careful with what I eat since I no longer have the excuse that I'm "eating for two" so loaded cheesy nachos are a special treat. With Shavuot just around the corner, it's time to bring out that special treat!
There are so many things that can be done with the simple concept of a nacho. Sure, you could just melt cheese on chips and devour but I wanted to take it a few steps further for the holidays. First up is the fully-loaded Nacho Casserole. This is a great make-ahead casserole so you can enjoy your nachos day and night. Lots of cheddar cheese, corn, black beans, salsa and whatever else you can think of stacked in a casserole dish and baked to cheesy perfection!

Cheese appetizers are very easy to prepare—and very gourmet. These are some of my favorite ways to turn Les Petites Fermieres and Natural and Kosher cheeses into company-ready appetizers (in no time at all).
We have so many Shavuot menus on this site already and I want to make sure you don't miss any of them as you are planning your holiday. Whether you like to spice it up with Indian food or get elegant this year, we have something for everyone. But, that doesn't mean I don't have anything new for you. If you are anything like me you at least like to look at new ideas and think about them and maybe make some of them.
Start by perusing all our Shavuot Menus from years past and then onto the future. This year I am thinking of going Mexican!! We have a few Kosher Mexican menus designed for other holidays, but this one is perfect for the dairy holiday of Shavuot and for enjoying the sun while you sip some Margaritas.

Even Microsoft realizes HTML5 is the future.
In practice, web apps are some of the ugliest hacks ever conceived. They take an xml derived fuzzy document language, a tacked on styling language with C syntax, and a malformed script language with semi-Java syntax that has barely improved in 20 years due to perverse standards by committee and terrible original syntax, and try to make real world applications of them. There is a reason people still see tech demos for html apps that look like native toolkit apps from 2000 (note I'm about to be a hypocrite on this).
As a developer, html5 is an evil necessity in a more diverse world. Platform lock in just isn't an option anymore, and it is the lowest common denominator of cross platform applications. It still lacks any real input, audio, or state handling worth a crap. It is why I'm so hopeful for qt to become as ubitquitous as 5.1 is shaping up to be - being able to target all the new mobile GNU oses, Android, iOS, and the big 3 desktops in one app is what needs to happen to keep me sane not writing html5 webapps. Of course, most of that I do with the same language I was complaining about earlier - QML, json, and javascript - but at least in qt you aren't dealing with the awful DOM.
How did this thread become about math and biology? I mean, it is an improvement, but...

Yes MIR is fragmentention, but you are too dumb to understand.
Wayland came from employee who was working for RedHat(even if it was side project), please stop posting bs like other buntutards here.
Maybe I should have qualified by inserting the word "legally" for you. Hackintoshes are not legal. Hence, to legally run OS X, you need a apple branded computer. So there is no point to buying OS X if you do not own or plan to buy a Apple computer as long as you want to legally run it.
Regardless, i am fully aware of Apple's EULA ~ and personally own a Mac, so this is not my concern - my main point was that your claim was blatantly absurd - ANYONE can buy MacOSX without a Mac.
Canonical working on Mir doesn't top anyone else from working on Wayland. Mir only changes things for Ubuntu, not any other distro. I see a lot of hypocrisy behind this claim of fragmentation. When it's something you agree with, you will tout it as diversity. If it is something you disagree with, you will cry fragmentation.
E.g: People tout having 1001 distros as diversity and having choice. 1001 Toolkits is diversity. 6 or 7 desktop environments is diversity. 2 display servers (X and Wayland), diversity. Add Mir, now it becomes fragmentation? Where is the consistency?
If Mir came from Google or Redhat, the story would be different.
X and Waylaand doesn't = diversity, Wayland is intended to be the SUCCESSOR to Xorg. Throwing Mir into the mix, voids any standardization and throws another into the mix. ~ again, it doesn't even take a half-whit to be able to distinguish the difference here...
it does not matter 'who' it came from. that's not the point, dude. (i thought that would have been obvious, but i guess not).Last edited by ninez; 03-09-2013, 03:23 AM.

Now, keep thinking that OOP is the true foundation for programming (I don't care if you don't want to open yourself and have such a NARROW view of programming), but stop implying that Knuth or Dijkstra or even Stepanov are just fools, or even imply that Alonso Church and Kurt G�del are also that, because you own much of what you do to people like them.
"Math is a model and so by definition..." Haha, you are lost...
And you sir are the one with the narrow worldview trying to force everything into fitting into your little math box, this may be news to you but not everything can or will fit in there. You think if people just do the math that things turn out perfect. Except the problem is that it doesn't and so the models involved have to be tweaked or even thrown out entirely and recreated from scratch. Sometimes people die as a result of an error in the model. I can understand that you don't quite get linguistics but I've already tried to explain to you how this all works and you've simply ignored it to try to push your math.

'Smartshop' even has a page showing the physical boxes (which is not easy to find on Apple's website, but easy if you walk into the store); http://wprnznxehycd.jet-software.net...ple%20mac%20os
but hey what do i know, over someone whom probably has never even owned a Mac and probably isn't even a customer of Apple's and probably is just googling crap and drawing stupid conclusions...but do go on if you like, talking about sh*t that you OBVIOUSLY have no clue about. lol
I should also point out something here ~ You can't upgrade MacOSX more than 1 major release. (ie: no upgrading 10.6.x to 10.8.x). Apple HAS to provide installation discs to their customers who have Mac's running older versions of MacOSX that can't be upgraded to the latest major version (if their H/W supports it).Last edited by ninez; 03-09-2013, 10:22 AM.

Originally posted by Hamish Wilson View PostIf I understand what you are saying correctly, you are saying that mathematical models do not always correlate to reality. Which is of course true in the sense that human created models may not include all of the real world factors at play. I think the debate here arises from the fact your words could also be interpreted as saying that the math itself can be flawed, which is clearly not the case, as two plus two always equals four (in base 10). I think we can all agree that it is the human component that is the potential failure point, and I will agree with your claim that is where the need for engineering comes in.
Originally posted by Engineer from adobe who attended Stepanov's course�Ask a mechanical, structural, or electrical engineer how far they would get without a heavy reliance on a firm mathematical foundation, and they will tell you, �not far.� Yet so-called software engineers often practice their art with little or no idea of the mathematical underpinnings of what they are doing. And then we wonder why software is notorious for being delivered late and full of bugs, while other engineers routinely deliver finished bridges, automobiles, electrical appliances, etc., on time and with only minor defects. This book sets out to redress this imbalance. Members of my advanced development team at Adobe who took the course based on the same material all benefited greatly from the time invested. It may appear as a highly technical text intended only for computer scientists, but it should be required reading for all practicing software engineers.�
and then he continues this delusion by trying to push the idea that engineers get new fields right 100% of the time because Math.. He even goes so far as to try to use Space Travel as an example... which just no.
Also my secondary point is that that 2+2=4 is language with base 10 as the dialect, and that objects form the basis for language of any form be it english, math, or C++. As a result OOP is simply a recognition of the underlying way language works and is applying how we use english or math to programming, and he fails to even comprehend that math or the sub-models thereof are object oriented, and it's a fundamental concept whether he or other "mathematicians" recognize this truth or not.
Originally posted by Luke_Wolf View PostIf you would take a look back here http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...ext-quot/page6 that's not really the issue, the point of contention is that he is arguing software engineering isn't engineering on the basis that software is buggy and not delivered on time and such, and that math somehow answers all these problems and he keeps trying to point to this idiotic fallacy:
Originally posted by Hamish Wilson View PostNot the original source of contention, but my conclusion is what I got from the likes of your dark matter analogy, and with regards to your criticisms of pure mathematical models in of themselves.

Gossip Girl
Trend Watch: Mismatched Prints
There's never any shortage of relationship drama on Gossip Girl — when there's a small group of hot people who are oddly averse to dating outside their circle, we guess it's just bound to happen. But while some people are seemingly drawn to one another, despite their differences, others should probably learn to live apart, no matter how badly they want things to work. Incidentally, the same thing goes for the outfits worn on GG: Some pieces, like Vanessa's ethnic garb, really don't belong together, while other seemingly mismatched garments are made for one another. Although Vanessa was absent from Episode 4.6, "Easy J," her mishmash aesthetic was alive and well — just executed better. Check out our favorite mix and match moments below.
Serena's Dark Duds
We loved this outfit enough to recreate the look, but we still can't get enough of those mismatched prints paired so artfully together, as well as that quirky bug-print top. Check out a different variety of animal print from Topshop for just $60:
We're sure these pieces looked even better up close for their luxe, textured fabrics. Try out Ann Taylor's golden skirt for $69.50:
As a group, Blair's lackeys seemed a bit over the top, but in small doses, their cheery mixing of primary colors was just right. The trick is to start with something punchy, like this $64 Boden cardi, and add something equally sweet in a contrasting hue.

Cubs acquire Felix Doubront from Red Sox
Jul 30, 2014, 3:32 PM EDT
Felix Doubront made it clear that he wanted the Red Sox to either put him back into the starting rotation or trade him, and then he went out and had a terrible relief appearance that many took to mean he was trying to push a trade.
"Disinterested" Felix Doubront sure seems like he's trying to get the Red Sox to trade him
Jul 29, 2014, 10:47 AM EDT
Two days ago Felix Doubront talked at length about how he wants to be back in Boston's rotation following a demotion to the bullpen and, if the Red Sox aren't willing to use him as a starter again, he wants to be traded.
Felix Doubront tells the Red Sox: Start me or trade me

Ryan Dempster will sit out the 2014 season
Feb 16, 2014, 10:53 AM EDT
Ryan Dempster posted a disappointing 4.57 ERA in 171 1/3 innings last summer for the Red Sox and did not get a postseason start, but he was still expected to open the 2014 campaign in Boston's rotation. That is no longer going to happen. According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the veteran right-hander announced Sunday…

Even without signing any replacements, they have a perfectly legitimate 25-man roster ready to go: SS: Xander Bogaerts: $500,000 RF: Shane Victorino: $13 million…
World Series Game 6 Preview: John Lackey gets the biggest start of his life
Oct 30, 2013, 12:38 PM EDT
BOSTON — It's certainly the biggest start of Michael Wacha's life too, but Wacha is 22 years-old and kids, God love 'em, tend to think that they're going to have the sun shining on them forever. John Lackey is 35 and has pretty much seen it and done it all. He's been that kid winning…
Jon Lester's mastery, efficiency carry Red Sox to edge of glory, push Cardinals to brink
Oct 28, 2013, 11:08 PM EDT
ST. LOUIS — We thought of Game 1 as a battle of aces. It didn't turn out that way. Game 5, however, gave us what we had been expecting. Adam Wainwright vs. Jon Lester and this time they were both on their game. But Jon Lester was better than Wainwright and, just as importantly, was…
All hands on deck for Red Sox; Peavy, Buchholz to be available in relief

Red Sox manager John Farrell said prior to Monday's Game 5 that jake Peavy, who just started Saturday's Game 3, would be available in relief tonight, and that Clay Buchholz, who started Game 4, could work out of the pen once the series returns to Fenway Park on Wednesday. Farrell also declined to commit to…
Felix Doubront comes up big in Game 4 win
Oct 28, 2013, 12:44 AM EDT
These last few weeks couldn't have been easy for Red Sox left-hander Felix Doubront. With Clay Buchholz back and ready to pitch in the postseason, Doubront was sent to the pen at the end of the regular season after going 11-6 with a 3.87 ERA in his 27 starts. He didn't want to make the…
Jonny Gomes gets his first hit of the World Series, a three-run homer to give Red Sox 4-1 lead
Oct 27, 2013, 10:29 PM EDT
Going into his sixth-inning at-bat against Cardinals reliever Seth Maness, Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes was 0-for-10. He had reached base just once on a walk in the fifth inning. Fans complained that he had started Games 1 and 2 in lieu of Daniel Nava. He wasn't even supposed to start Game 4, but Shane…

He led off the fifth inning of Game 4 with a double to right-center, their first extra-base hit of the night against Cardinals starter Lance Lynn. Lynn started to unravel, walking Jonny Gomes, and…

Red Sox's turnaround more about incumbents than newcomers
Sep 21, 2013, 12:15 AM EDT
We've heard it a million times now: the Red Sox changed the clubhouse culture for the better when they brought in Shane Victorino, Mike Napoli, Jonny Gomes and Ryan Dempster over the winter. And that's certainly true. I imagine this has been the best Red Sox team to cover in several years, and they do,…
Mark Reynolds homers in debut, Alfonso Soriano stays red hot as Yankees win
Aug 16, 2013, 11:05 PM EDT
In the lineup at first base in his first game as a Yankee, Mark Reynolds made it count. Reynolds blasted a two-run home run to left field off of Felix Doubront in the second inning, bolstering the Yankee lead to 3-0. Meanwhile, outfielder Alfonso Soriano continued to stay red hot.

'Simple Plan' are a 5-piece band from Montreal, Canada. Whilst critics have been quick to call them a 'pop punk' act, the group has shown itself unwilling to stick to this template- second album 'Still Not Getting Any' used string-sections and drum loops (as well as the more standard guitar, bass and drums) to carry the songs. Hard work seems central to the band's ethos, and the well-crafted albums and exciting live shows are a testimony that this has paid off.

Quotes & Highlights
• "Too good to be true! It's terrific! The cast is plain wonderful. The book is as tight and absorbing as an Arthur Miller play. Jersey Boys is a show dynamically alive in music while, as a drama, it catches the very texture, almost the actual smell, of its time." —New York Post
• "The crowd goes wild — I'm talking about the real crowd at the August Wilson Theatre, who seem to have forgotten what year it is or how old they are … and everything that had led up to that curtain call feels as real and vivid as the sting of your hands clapping together." —The New York Times
• "Oh what a fantastic night you'll have! A phenomenal hit, with more show-stopping hit songs than any new show on Broadway. It's impossible not to love Jersey Boys and this amazing cast. A spectacular, behind-the-scenes tell-all pop musical." —UPN 9 TV

3.0 out of 5 stars Stardom In Acton,
I was looking forward to this. Pete Townshend has always seemed the most intelligent, the most academic and the most intellectual of that wonderful cohort of Sixties Rockers. His application of Pop Art to Pop Music was inspired, his ambition to see popular music as something way more than just a 3 minute single or a collection of unrelated, disparate tracks collected together to form an "album", proved that rock wasn't just the preserve of the boorish, ignorant and drug addled, though it was that too. He was a visiting editor at Faber & Faber in the mid 80's, he's written some wonderful songs, operettas; he's stood for the redemptive and positive force of rock. He's led a wild, obsessive, creative, destructive, fascinating life ... and he's succeeded in writing an extremely boring and amateurish book about it.
Despite all that he's created, all he's seen, lived through, won, lost, done, spent, used & used up ... he cannot, by the evidence of this book, tell its story. And therein lies the problem ... he is just not a raconteur. His written insight doesn't go much beyond "what do you expect from a rock star", his attempts at humour are risible and he says nothing about the creative processes that have defined his work: composition and recording. His intended Magnum Opus, the Lifehouse Project, itself the subject of one half of a book (Won't Get Fooled Again: The Who From Lifehouse to Quadrophenia by Richie Unterberger) is dismissed in a couple of pages. He doesn't seem to have researched his subject deeply enough (except 2 obvious lifts from Dave Marsh's Before I Get Old), which is odd, considering the subject in question is his life. The style is reminiscent of those facile 30p paperback biogs by George Tremlett you used to get in the 1970's.
Pete played The Goldhawk, Monterey, Woodstock, Madison Square, The Rock n Roll Circus ... from this book, you get no sense of his having done so ... he might just as well have written about walking down to the newsagent to pick up a Sunday paper and 20 Rothmans.
Story telling is about making the mundane magical ... not the other way round, but if this book succeeds at anything, it succeeds at that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can you see the real me? Townsend Bares All,
Here's the problem with most of the reviews that you'll read here on Amazon: most people writing them are, unsurprisingly, Who fans. This means they're measuring this book (an Pete's behaviour and stories) against their own projected image and thoughts on him. He is, after all, just another bloke and the result is the sound of hundreds of Pete projections crashing from their respective pedestals.
Objectively, this appears to be a clear, well written book. It's honest and surprisingly self-deprecating. Pete is clearly a man who has battled and continues to battle his demons. Demons from his childhood. Demons in the form of mental illness and compulsive behaviour. Demons in trying to find order in the chaos of his life and the excess and premature deaths of those in his circle. Demons in searching for that 'ultimate' project that would somehow, somewhere capture the visions, sounds and ideas he has in his head. All the major events of his life from a troubled childhood, through the formation of The Who, their rise to greatness and eventual self-destruct are all described in satisfying detail. If I had to level a criticism I would say I wanted to know more about the inter-band dynamics and characters. What were John, Keith and Roger like? I felt by the end of the book that I knew Pete reasonably well - or as well as you can from a book - but that the other band members felt like shadows, cardboard cut-outs and distant from the action. But it may just have been me. The writing is direct and very factual. Sometimes slightly too much so and some more humour would be welcome. Overall, I would say it was a solid, honest and interesting ride with a man not ashamed to open himself up and let everyone see him, warts n' all. Thanks Pete.
From a personal point of view, as a Who fan, Pete fell slightly from the pedestal I'd put him on. That's neither a good or bad thing. It's just the truth and often a consequence of reading an autobiography. A bit like watching the behind-the-scenes extras on a DVD. Once you know how the magic is done it can often make you appreciate something more - even if some of the mystical magic is taken off. Pete comes over as troubled most of time, spinning the plates of his various projects, band commitments and family life often at the expense of his health. Usually it ends with Pete falling off the wagon and into drugs of some description and/or emotionally 'lashing out'. This cyclical process that despite being now in his mid-60's he has yet to break. Maybe he never will. That's not a criticism of the man, more of an observation. It also seemed odd to me that someone who is clearly so intelligent can (still) be a follower of Meher Baba and be so superstitious in his outlook in some respects. Deciding things on the flip of a coin, assigning meaning to random events, buying placebos, seeing 'signs' in the nothingness etc - A child-like belief in destiny and the after-life or spirit at odds with his clear intellect (labelling it 'spiritual'). I can only suppose that this child-like longing may be related to his unconventional and sometimes harrowing childhood - it may be responsible for some of his wonderful and moving music. He comes over as a man in combat with the various aspects of his personality; on the one hand with high morals and prepared to go to extraordinary lengths in loyalty to friends, then on the other happy to cheat on his wife, feeding the self-loathing aspect of his pysche. But, most of all, he comes over as someone very honest, searching for something that I hope he finds one day.
I'm now off to listen to Quadrophenia extremely loud!....:)

5.0 out of 5 stars Who am I,
This review is from: Pete Townshend: Who I Am (Kindle Edition)
I cant exactly remember when I first became a fan of the Who think 1970 after proudly purchasing the Live at Leeds album, since then anything by The Who is something to get hold of and treasure.
Its taken many years and a lot of courage from Pete to both write and release this book but the wait has been well worth it starting with the heartaches of Pete's child hood, the wild years of The Who which many will say have been previously well documented (well I suggest you read the real story) the break up the reunions and the respect both he and Roger Daltrey have for each other.
I could go on and on and some times reviews can get boring but what I do suggest is this is now the right time of year to sit down on those long winter days and nights to read a good book and by purchasing Who am I you cannot get any better

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, but...,
a music fan (UK) - See all my reviews
I had been looking forward to reading this book since it was first announced. It's entertaining, but also strangely disappointing in terms of not living up to high expectations - those expectations having been raised simply by the highly intelligent and articulate nature of the author. The tone of the text is rather academic and sedate and it rather lacks the passion and wit that has typically been present in the author's interviews, articles and letters. It is as if it is the product of a therapist coaxing the facts of a story out of a patient for a clinical document. Much of the story has been documented elsewhere in detail, drawing upon interviews and texts, but there are a number of personal insights and revelations that do expand upon it. I do think that the book suffers from being too condensed and edited. Many key milestones in the author's career and development flash by in only a few lines when they warrant far more detail and exploration. In fact, the book could well have been twice the length and split into two volumes to do its subject greater justice. The style of the narrative is to a degree confessional in its accounts of the largely self-destructive lifestyle that the author has frequently led and of the strain that he subjected his wife, family and friends too. However, the emphasis is on documenting that lifestyle and not really clarifying or exploring the motivation or reasons for it. The portrait the author paints of himself is at times quite uncomfortable. Whilst his audience eagerly awaited his and The Who's recordings and performances, the flipside of producing and maintaining those triumphs seems to have taken a very heavy toll on his relationships with those closest to him and the question that is left hanging is really one of whether the artistic and commercial successes have truly been worth the cost of the damage that he has inflicted on himself and others. Given the author's tendency to recycle and revisit his work, I hope that this work will one day be revisited and expanded in such a way as to give more of an insight into what makes him tick and what motivated him to do his best work. Until then this is the book to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT JUST FOR MY GENERATION,
Roger Risborough (Richmond) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Who I Am (Audio CD)
This is a big long listen, about a big long life in music, and in short, it's brilliant.
Pete Townshend reads his own life story across 70 years and 15 CDs, and frequently amuses himself with his past indiscretions, errors of judgement and false-steps. He also manages to pronounce his first wife's name (Karen) differently every time he reads it, which seems to tie-in with the old maxim that if you can remember the 60s you weren't there. That human touch to the narration is one of the many charms of this audio-book, along with the sheer fascination of listening to the unfolding career one of BritRock's true champions, from 60s Mod pioneer to hard rocker, to co-conceiver of concept rock, and finally as stadium hell-raiser. There must be something for every music fan somewhere in that range of musical generations. As you would expect from someone who initially made his name smashing guitars on stage long before it was fashionable, Townshend pulls no punches in telling his life story - sexual inhibitions, sexual indiscretions, sexual accusations are all worked-through carefully and thoughtfully with the benefit of hindsight, and by the end, who he is has been answered in full. A star. After 10 of the discs I had to consciously slow down my rate of listening as the end was approaching just too quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful,
I agree with many of the rather varied comments already written. Overall I also found it depressing that a richly talented man is so self pitying in his outlook. he describes himself as a loner, and i have seldom read a book so unsympathetic to, or uninterested in, his fellow human beings. I too think his musical legacy is very much in the string of hit singles in the 60's. if he had only written My Generation that would have been enough to ensure his legacy. (Personally I found Tommy a load of pretentious twaddle) So, the book is well worth reading, offering an insight into a man who could never be described as your average rock star!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pete does his best to explain...,
Ms. Felicia Davis-burden (Staines, UK) - See all my reviews
This is the book that we Who/PT fans have longed for. We knew that Pete's account of his life would be very different to how his story has been retold through the decades, but nothing prepares the reader for the blunt, unselfpitying voice emerging here. As a songwriter, Pete has expressed his muddled and sometimes tortured self and we've always accepted his flaws. His honesty transfers uncomfortably to memoir; not in terms of writing quality, but in the sad revelations of infidelity and drug use. I've always respected Pete for never denying his flaws and weaknesses, but I never suspected that the roots lay in a chillingly sad chapter of his childhood - a mad, often cruel grandmother and her frightening male friends - that seems to have blighted his entire life.
There is the unfortunate aspect of why many readers of tabloids will buy this book, specifically Pete's arrest in 2003. He took his punishment and lived out his five-year penance, but still has his disastrous mistake hanging over him. I still feel shock and sadness about this whole saga, but reading Pete's unflinchingly clear account I accept that he meant to do good. His heart ruled his head, in an emotionally crazed mouse-click.
Disappointingly, Pete talks little of the background, the triggers perhaps, behind many songs. Some are mentioned in detail ('Seeker' and 'Pure and Easy', for example), but I've always wondered how 'Naked Eye', 'Slit Skirts', 'Blue Red and Grey' (among many personal favourites) came about.
Of course, life in the Who and the major projects such as 'Tommy', 'Lifehouse' and 'Quadrophenia' are exhaustively covered, as are the turkeys 'White City', 'Iron Man' and 'Psychoderelict'. There are occasional hints as to what may have inspired a song, such as an adolescent fantasy about owning a fleet of beautifully decorated buses. Umm, I wonder...
Karen Townshend emerges as a reluctant heroine, a remarkably resiliant and great-hearted wife. Roger Daltrey started out as a tough, somewhat one-dimensional bruiser, but he has been Pete's most reliable friend. It is really touching to read Pete's feelings for these two amazing, long-suffering backers.
Pete's memoir has been a long time coming, but worth the wait. 'Can You See the Real Me', he had Daltrey wail, and now we have this amazing guy's life finally told in Pete's own voice. An amazing journey, indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating (south Wales),
Mr. Peter Marchant (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this as it was heavily discounted and I didn't want to use my American (with quite different sleeve, thickness and paper size) copy which was signed by Pete in Philadelphia. Having read about half way (interrupted by a trip to Florida to see The Who in Miami and Orlando) I an savouring every page and taking my time. Much of the history is already well documented, but Pete's position on events is predictably different and in parts disturbing. As Pete is probably the most enigmatic of the significant pop musicians surviving from the 60s, I would commend this book to anyone (over 18!) whether they are interested in Pete, The Who, music, history, popular culture, art, or whatever.

3.0 out of 5 stars No better or worse than you would expect from Pete: part-exposee of The Who on the road, but more about self-obsession,
This review is from: Pete Townshend: Who I Am (Kindle Edition)
I made the mistake of reading reviews of this book before buying: the reviewer was slightly disappointed at Townsend's lack of the mouthiness you'd expect, based on his interviews.
I didn't expect that, but I see what the reviewer meant: I wanted to hear his views on music, the world, drugs and rock 'n' roll. What you got, basically, was his views about himself: ranging from self-loathing (drink, drugs, women) to a clearly high opinion of his value to music and The Arts in general (rather a lot of name-dropping in this respect). But then I guess it is an autobiography! Even the honest accounts of his self-hating behaviours and paranoias seem to be documented so as to gain our respect and sympathy.
Having said all that, it does give us some glimpses into the world of the rock star in the sixties and seventies - in particular, the story of The Who, who - it would appear - still provide Townsend with his main source of funds and pleasure. Long may that continue.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reminds you how influential the Who were, and what a complicated genius Townshend is,
This review is from: Pete Townshend: Who I Am (Kindle Edition)
It's sometimes easy to forget just how long and varied the Who's career was. They succeeded in evolving their sound over time far more than some of their contemporaries did - and Townshend's incessant pushing at boundaries of music and technology was key to this.
Townshend himself is a troubled soul, at war with himself throughout, and it is an occasionally frustrating read. But in that sense, it is absolutely characteristic of the author; his long suffering wife is mentioned throughout, with a decent dose of good grace, but doesn't get an acknowledgement at the end, where instead there is a gushing tribute to his new girlfriend. He is a bundle of contradictions and alternates between deep self analysis/criticism and occasional staggering lapses in self awareness. A complicated genius who changed music - this book is very much about him, and less about The Who than some band-member autobiographies are.

At the moment I am meeting new people because I'd really like to have a solid relationship. I'm just trying to find a girl with whom I can really laugh and share a connection. I'm also really interested in making new friends!
I love a girl who knows what she wants and can be unashamedly proud of who she is.
I think that a girl who is willing to approach me herself is much more attractive. So if you think we'd be good, let me know!

Best Value Laptops Under $300
While laptop computers continue to fall in price, netbooks keep getting better and better. It's been hard in the past finding laptops under 300 dollars. If an optical drive is not a necessity then you should take a good look at a netbook. They are some of the laptops under 300 dollars and with a few minor tweaks you can really maximize what you have.
One of my long time customers called me up a few months back and told me she needed a laptop. She isn't very computer literate and I used to constantly answer miniscule questions pertaining to her work computers. With this in mind I started brainstorming on how I could better solve her needs and cut out the multiple calls per week that usually ended up in me talking her through scanning computers for adware/malware. I have been a long time Linux user and love the fact that there is no need to have anti-virus software.
I ordered a netbook for her and downloaded Ubuntu Netbook Remix after checking out a number of sub-300$ laptop reviews online. About an hour later I had reformatted the hard drive, installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix and was downloading updates. All of the drivers installed perfectly with no issues. The layout is extremely user friendly and you can customize what you want and need without the extra clutter of unnecessary applications. That evening I tested the device and was amazed at how well everything ran! Battery life was almost double and speed was much better than any netbook I've used with Windows installed. I'm glad to say every week when I call to check in she is still very happy and has had virtually no problems! She is the best success story to date on converting to Linux and is going to have me set up ten more of these for her employees. With a few minor tweaks they can be amazing mini laptop computers!

3.0 out of 5 stars What are box sets for?
Buying Sound and Vision does not mean I can dispense with the Singles Collection because it does not have classics such as Let's Dance, Fame and Absolute Beginners which I wouldn't otherwise have, nor does it contain other classics such as Jean Genie, Starman, Diamond Dogs, Golden Years and unforgivably Life On Mars - one of Bowie's greatest songs. I would have preferred...

THIS IS NOT THE CANADIAN BOX SET THAT THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER STATES. That being the 1990 Ryko-disc set. Similar but not the same!!!!. This box set incorporates Bowie's work up to Buddah Of Suburbia and Black Tie White Noise. There are even Tin Machine songs on here!!!!!!!
It has strayed away from the well known hits, though there are still many here, such as "Ashes to Ashes", "Changes" and "Blue Jean". Instead it concentrates on the best album cuts from Bowie's phenomenal 70's 80's and early 90's work.
For CD completists, this is the only place you will find "After Today" "Baals Hymn", "The Drowned Girl" and "Modern Love" (live). There are also a handful of mixes and different out-takes of songs. The real highlights here is the original "The Prettiest Star". This is NOT the Aladdin Sane cut but the 1970 single with Marc Bolan on guitar. And "Pallas Athena". This is the live version performed by The Tao Jones Index, which was a secret gig Bowie did at The Phoenix Festival.
This is a must for any Bowie fan and an excellent starting point for any musical youth wishing to know what all the fuss was about when Bowie hit the scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horses for Courses - but really like Sound + Vision,
This review is from: Sound + Vision (Audio CD)
Christmas and my birthday being quite close together, I got Sound + Vision for Christmas and Nothing Has Changed a week earlier. To me, both have their many plus points and some small negatives. As Nothing Has Changed covers Bowie's output over a longer time-frame right up to The Next Day - and contains many 'single' versions (which some people don't like), it's possibly the better place to start for someone new to Bowie. You can't really go wrong with the content, quality and great packaging (I got the 3 disc version).
Sound + Vision, though, is brilliant. I have a lot of Bowie albums but there are live versions and B-sides that are new to me, pretty much up to Buddha of Suburbia. There is a fair amount of Tin Machine on the 4th disc which wasn't everyone's cup of tea but still worth a listen for the fully-rounded DB experience. The booklet and packaging are great too.
I prefer out of Sound + Vision because it covers the periods of Bowie's output which I love the most and I really like the live versions and more obscure songs (especially After Today, Helden, Cat People). However, if you want the most up-to-date 'hits' package (but don't want both) Nothing Has Changed does the trick and a whole lot more.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2014 Reissue...,
This review is from: Sound + Vision (Audio CD)
Great value for money compilation. Only let down is the booklet which contains Bowie's history as a recording artist up until 2003. Seems a bit cheap not to update the booklet to include information on recent releases. Comes in plastic double CD case in thin card sleeve.
Lots of familiar material, lots of rarities, B-Sides and Live tracks. Would have been nice to have no Tin Machine and more of the post 2003 material. It's on Parlophone too which was a surprise. Comes with Auto Rip which is added value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone,
OMG! It's got a plug! - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sound + Vision (Audio CD)
This is a very welcome reissue of this superb chronological overview of Bowie's career between 1969 and 1993. Hits, outtakes, live tracks, alternate versions, album tracks and Tin Machine too - there's something for everyone. It's also excellent value: 70 tracks across 4 CDs with a playback time of 4 hours and 58 minutes (and AutoRip if purchased direct from Amazon). The CDs are housed inside an old style double CD jewel case with a cardboard slipcase cover. There's an accompanying 56 page booklet with very lengthy sleeve notes and archive photos, including the recording dates, release dates and featured musicians for each song. It might not be as up to date as the forthcoming 'Nothing Has Changed' compilation but it represents amazing value for money and it should appeal to existing Bowie fans given that it's NOT just a straightforward 'Best of' box set.

But with extra tracks on the 4th cd making it a better buy. Original S+V boxset �60 in 1989.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound and Vision 2014 reissue,
Smitty Werbenjaegermanjensen (real name) (Thread rehab facility 37) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sound + Vision (Audio CD)
What a superb overview of this chameleon of rock!! I love it. I remember when it originally came out it came in a tall box which looked great but lacked the extra material this incredible value for money collection offers.
This journey starts with the demo for Space Oddity and weaves its way right up to the soundtrack album Dave did for the tv show The Buddha of Suburbia. On the way we are graced with some rarities that are not to be found anywhere else/easily/legally such as a couple of tracks from another tv show about that snaggle toothed outsider Baal. The best, and for me the cherry on the top, rare track is the inclusion of the mighty, muscular and testosterone imbued version of Cat People(a song which was disgracefully neutered during its transition towards it's limp appearance on the Let's Dance album). This Gorgio Moroder produced version is a gem. I bought it as a single many years ago and was disappointed that it never appeared on any of Bowies albums when they were reissued on cd.
Some good solid tracks from the badly received Tin Machine albums in here too, to give a broader look at Bowies work.
I remember being totally non-plussed by his Black Tie White Noise album when it appeared, but I reckon I am going to have to go and give it another chance based on what I have heard here.
Sonically superb. No brick walling issues here, unlike the Next Day album.
70 tracks of magnificent Bowie at this price?? A no brainer really. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely superb, but be careful about the edition if buying,
Neil Wilkes (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sound & Vision (Audio CD)
First up, this is a superb collection by anybody's standards & is well worth the 5 stars.
The biggest worry with this is the old chestnut "Caveat Emptor" because there are at least 4 different editions of this set.
First up, we have the original Ryko edition on 3 regular CD's plus an additional CDV with 3 live tracks & the "Ashes to Ashes" video. This was packaged in a 12" x 12" box and included a nice booklet (sadly mine is missing & if anyone has a mint or near mint copy of this set please contact me). NB - the images on this page are from that edition.
Then there was a very limted edition of this in a nice wood case, 500 copies, individually signed (these are almost never found for sale). Third up was the Ryko reissue edition in a slipcase box with just 3 CD's, missing off the 3 live tracks from Boston Music Hall in 1972 (and oh, how I would love the full recording of that to surface) and a well done 72-page booklet.
Finally, we have the 4th edition, which is a re-issue from EMI, featuring 4 CD's, a different running order and on some tracks different versions (and I mean different mixes as opposed to remastered) - although if truth be told, this set does have the 1999 EMI remasters and they are frankly not that great - over limited for volume, as are nearly all the EMI editions esxcept for the first set they released which used the Ryko masters - confused? Yep. Me too.
Whatever edition you have this makes a nice change to the obvious singles rehash - and the Gods only know that has been done often enough already.
If you are looking for the S&V box, get the early Ryko edition for sound quality & the EMI edition for tracks you will not find anywhere else.

This review is from: Sound + Vision (Audio CD)
This is a review for the 2014 repackaging of the (2003 version) Sound + Vision box set. I'm not going to review the music here (we all know it's great) but it's a retrospective of Bowie's career spanning 1969-1993, choosing more obscure edits of his tracks, mixed with live versions and album tracks. The box originally appeared in 1990 as a 3cd set with a bonus VCD (obsolete format) with tracks spanning from 1969-1980 to promote the then-upcoming reissue series of Bowie's catalogue between those years and served as a taster for those reissues while also containing exclusive tracks. In 2003 it was reissued with the same tracklisting found here (added the mixed bag '80s tracks along with selections of Tin Machine and tracks from Bowie's 1993 LPs 'Black Tie White Noise' and 'Buddha Of Suburbia', although with packaging akin to a long book. This reissue serves as a low priced rehash of that (cost me around �18 when it came out in 2014) as a kind of cash cow while the exhibition is going on etc. The packaging here is decent, it's in a 'fatox' CD case which holds the four discs and the hefty CD sized booklet, and that case is housed in an outer cardboard one.
Basically, the main attraction here is the music, which I can tell you is excellent, but if you're unfamiliar with Bowie's works try a hits compilation (Nothing Has Changed being the most recent and spans a larger amount of time - available as a 3CD, 2CD or Vinyl) or one of his best albums - that one is too tough for me to call on that.
If you're a die-hard Bowie fan and are looking for exclusive material, the most you'll get is a demo of Space Oddity (different from the one on the 2009 deluxe I believe), a different vocal take to 'Round and Round', a 1989 remix of the German-sung version of "Heroes", "Helden" and a live version of Pallas Athena (1997 Tao Jones Index version), although that in turn, is available on the 2CD version of Earthling found in the 'David Bowie Box'.
Not strictly essential but some astounding album track choices, great for the price.

Mr. C Coulson - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sound + Vision (Audio CD)
Of all the numerous Bowie compilations I own, this has to be my favourite. Over 4 cd's you get a smattering of hits and choice album cuts from Space Oddity to The Buddha of Suburbia intermingled with rarities, which in some cases are only available on this compilation.
If you are a casual fan and just want a summary of his hits, then the new Nothing Has Change collection is ideal. However, if you already have all the albums and all the other compilations, then this is the one for you.

I've spent the past three months surfing the pacific northwest (Portland, Seattle and Vancouver) and will be making my way south and then to the east coast, one couch at a time.

The glow of extra-reality that has surrounded every stranger whom I would eventually fall in love with. The true nature of what it means to be infinite, as it was revealed to me on a San Francisco sidewalk that, from my perspective, extended onwards forever as a gorgeous repetition of concrete and intermittent trees. The sky's endless capacity to be original.
