Fire Starter: "Honor Amongst Thieves: Book One"
"Honor Amongst Thieves: Book One," the new novel from author A.C. Clayton, depicts the struggle of youths torn between becoming products of their neighborhood and maturing into their own men. The story centers on the hard-knock life of ex-convict Kameek "Kay-Kay" Barnes and chronicles his days in the gritty streets of Brooklyn to his time with roughnecks on Rikers' infamous C-74 prison block. Clayton himself spent time incarcerated and has reformed his life through his own literature. He said he was inspired by a mix of mafia books and films such as "Boyz N the Hood" and "Menace II Society." Clayton also wants his book to reach at-risk young people in the streets before the handcuffs of an arresting office get to them first.
Mixtape Monday: Fabolous Taps Into 50 Cent's European Market; Beanie Sigel Says Jay-Z OK'd R. Kelly Collabo

: Rap fans have been fiendin' since 2002's
The Fix
for a hit from Scarface, and now the H-Town legend is back with the goods. It's been five long years in the making, but Uncle 'Face has stockpiled enough tracks for his latest,
due December 4 on Rap-A-Lot/Asylum. After his last few projects dropped, 'Face told us to not bet against his flawless record of classics. This time around, he made sure to come correct. The multi-instrumentalist even stepped back from the mixing board and focused more on his pen this go-round, leaving the production to others, including his longtime collaborator Mike Dean. He wanted to make sure his lyrics were extra sharp. So without further ado, Mr. Scarface.
Joints To Check For
"Never." "Just think of some stuff you'll never do in life," 'Face explained. "That's what that song is about."
"Big Dog Status." "[That track] was [originally] named 'Get Like Me,' for real," Scarface said. "That's the name of the song. Whoever changed it, don't change my songs no more. That song right there is talking about me young and me right now, you feel me?"
"Girl You Know." "It's called 'Girlfriend,' but they changed it to 'Girl You Know,' " 'Face said. "What the hell does that mean? Don't change my songs no more. It's just talking about being in a relationship that you really don't wanna be in. And I don't need no girlfriend. That's basically what it is."

Celebrity Faves
Datwon Thomas
Whenever various shows — from VH1's "Best Week Ever" to BET's "Countdown" specials — need an expert in the music biz to wax on a particular subject, Datwon Thomas — editorial director of
magazine — definitely gets a phone call. He's a veteran journalist who gets just as much love from music-biz insiders such as the late Big L or Irv Gotti (Datwon appeared in the debut episode of "Gotti's Way" on VH1) as he does from his peers. With the assistance of DJ Rhude, the guys at
just released their first mixtape,
Freaky Flows,
and got former cover girl Karrine Steffans to host. She raps on the intro.
"The rap thing was her idea," Thomas said. "I asked her to host the mixtape, and she said, 'All right, I have something ill for you.' "
Datwizzy said the video vixen didn't tell him what she had in mind, so he didn't know if she would be talking extra scandalous about one of her famous lovers or getting a drop from her friend Lil Wayne. But the surprise was her rapping.
"It was pretty dope," Thomas said. "It's not even straight rapping; it's kinda like poetry in motion. It's her style of spit. I think it's kind of like if you hang around Lil Wayne all the time and all these dope rappers all the time, you want to do these things. I don't think she wants to do it for real, for real, but if she wanted to, she can."
When it comes to the
covers, another one of his favorite chicks is Lil' Kim.
"I think I was in college when that
Hard Core
poster came out with her on the cover with her legs open," he said about Kim's 1996 album cover. "I would be walking down the block to school, and those snipes would be up. I remember they did a segment on the news about the snipes of her causing car accidents. That always stuck in my head. So when it came time to do Kim for the cover of
[in 2004], I'm from Brooklyn and she went to my high school, I wanted to re-create that pose."
The Queen was against the idea, however.
"That was the illest in my eyes, but she was so against it, like, 'Nah, chill, I did that.' I was like, 'Ma, you gotta do it.' We kept going back and forth. It came time for her to do it, and she said, 'You know what? I'm gonna do it.' I got her homegirl to help persuade [her]. When it finally came out, she was like, 'All right, it's dope.' "
Thomas is currently listening to Jay-Z's
American Gangster
but says everyone needs to pay attention to Talib Kweli's
"I think it's the most slept-on album of the year," he said.
The Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From The Underground
"Baby Don't Go," fo sho!
says his latest baby, his album
From Nothin' to Somethin',
isn't going anywhere. He plans to release more singles from it. On deck is a video for "Gangsta Don't Play."
"We're just getting the treatment," he said. "I might do a sneaky remix. That's what I was holding back on it for. I was talking to one of my friends ... and trying to make a remix happen. But [even if] I don't get that to happen, I'm definitely going to have the remix on the burner."
After that, Fab says he might have clips for "I'm the Man," "First Time" (with
) and/or "This Is Family" (featuring
Joe Budden
Paul Cane
"The Rihanna joint, some soundtrack was hollering about it," he said. "I don't know if I needed another pop look now, but sometimes things happen. It might still happen. I definitely wanted another street look, so I'm definitely doing 'Gangsta Don't Play.' And I'm looking to do something for either 'Joke's on You' or the 'I'm the Man' joint with
Red Cafe
. And I might even do something for Internet too, the crew joint ['This Is Family']. But I heard Ransom and Budden had a little thing, so I don't know if that's gonna work."
Fab, of course, is referring to the online back-and-forth between Budden and his longtime friend/ rhyme accomplice Ransom, who have been dissing each other in various freestyles.
"That was crazy," he smiled. "I love both of them lyrically. I never saw it coming. They're even a little closer [to each other] than I am to both of them. It's just shaky with rap. People wake up a different rapper sometimes. One day they wake up this way, and one day they wake up a different way. At the end of the day, they're grown men. Hopefully they can work it out or rap it out and don't clap it out. I was in Europe, and I been checking out all the hip-hop sites. I think Joe threw two [freestyles] out, and Ransom threw like four out. Hopefully we sideswiped that."
Fab says if he does do a video for "This Is Family," his friends will have to make amends — at least partially.
"Somebody told me to do their parts [of the video] in two different locations," he explained. "Or shoot them at two different times. But I don't even want that energy. If they don't wanna do it, then I won't do it. Next thing you know, somebody will be coming at me: 'You ain't tell me that you was gonna put me in. I don't wanna be on a song.' But it's rap. Both of their [freestyles] are pretty good. It's entertaining. It's funny to see people who came in together going at each other."
Budden says he's willing to put the beef behind him for business. "I'll do the video," Budden told us last week. "I mean, what's gonna happen, right? Somebody gets shot? None of that is gonna happen. I mean, I ain't shaking [Ransom's] hand, but I'll do the video."
Fab just got back home from Europe, where he was on tour with
50 Cent
"I was over there for promos, and the opportunity came to do the shows with 50, which was good because that was a promo thing for me even though they was paid shows," he said. "50 is a big international artist. That let me tap into 50's market. A lot of dudes — even the dudes that are big over here — you wonder how people over there don't know who they are. Some of the biggest names in the States are small fries over there. Even myself. I've had some songs they know, but even songs that are my general hits over here, they might not be too familiar with them. I guess they know certain artists or bigger artists ... like your 50s,
Justin Timberlake
. But certain people they don't know. You can have a big record over here, they don't know. They don't know who
Hurricane Chris
is; they think that's really a hurricane."
Whirlwind 50 says he's indeed enjoying his time away from home.
"The show's incredible," 50 said about the tour. "I don't want the next city to think it's the same show, so I change it all the time. Between material from
Get Rich or Die Tryin'
The Massacre
— that was technically a double-CD with 21 cuts — and
I have plenty of material. Also I have things in between like [G-Unit's]
Beg for Mercy
and [
Young Buck
Straight Outta Cashville.
I've got a lot of songs that I can bring to the stage." ...
Beanie Sigel
Beanie Sigel
always had the streets on lock with his reality rap, but the Broad Street Bully needed a bit of help getting his club burner "All the Above" together. First,
DJ Khaled
put Sig on the
-produced track. Then, Beans started debating whether to put
on the song.
"When [Khaled] sent it to me, it already had somebody who referenced the hook and stuff on it," Sigel said. "So I knocked out the verse, and we was looking to change the person up. So everybody in the studio — when I record, I get everybody's input — we came up with T-Pain to do the hook or Akon. So we were just figuring out, out of them two, who we were going to use."
Because T-Pain had done records with so many people recently, Beans settled on Akon. But the 'Kon was on tour overseas, and with a deadline looming, Beanie had to move on. He had his back to the wall when he took the record to New York to meet with his A&R rep, Lenny Santiago.
"I told Lenny, 'I got somebody in mind who could probably body this joint,' " Beans said. "He was like, 'I was thinking of someone too, man, but I don't know.' So I was like, 'Who are you thinking about?' And he started smiling. So I told him to write whoever he was thinking about on a paper, I'mma write who I was thinking out, then we gonna turn them over. So when we did it, I wrote 'Kells' on my paper, and he wrote the 'R.' And when we looked at it, it said '
R. Kelly
' when you put them together. [
Editor's note: Well, it really read 'R. Kells,' but let the man tell his story!
] We just started laughing, so he was like, 'You sure?' I was like, 'Yeah, get him on the phone.' Made the phone call, got him the record, and it was done in three days."
It took those three days to get the collaboration in place, but Kells actually held onto the record longer than Sigs expected. To his surprise, the R. liked the song so much, he decided to lay a verse down in addition to providing the hook.
According to Beans, there was no friction between him and
for opting to go with Kells. In fact, he said it was business as usual. "It was business, and you got to separate business from the personal things," Beans said. "And Jay-Z at this point in his career, he's a businessman, so he understood the vision once I explained it to him, and he was all for it. No problem at all."
Next up for Beans is getting
business together. The State Property head is mulling over his next wave of artists. So far, he has a four-man collective out of Philly, and he's planning to put out a street album after
The Solution
drops December 11.
"It ain't gonna be the new State Property; it'll be whatever that new movement is gonna be," he said. "Right now I got four people that I think are gonna be relevant to the game — that's [
Kyle Green
Mur Mill
. That's my new team, so far. I'm looking for three more artists. After this album, I'm gonna do an album called
The Halfway House,
and these are gonna be the new artists off the Halfway House. I got a couple records [so far] I been recording. Look out for that, and I'm taking all bets. I don't co-sign no garbage. I don't do that." ...
Method Man
"Wu-Tang will survive." God, we hope so.
Wu-Tang Clan
fans everywhere have been shaking their heads lately — not so much in disbelief (they've had public squabbles before), but in disappointment at the Clan's recent round of airing dirty laundry.
Ghostface Killah
have all spoken their piece on the subject, but what about the most visible member of the triumphant hip-hop unit?
Method Man
is keeping his mouth shut for now.
"There's a reason why I ain't spoke yet," said Meth, standing next to the RZA recently in New York. "When the album drops, we can talk."
"We're here though," RZA added. "We're spreading the culture."
Ghostface Killah
, who was the first Wu member to go public with the group's dissension, talked to us on Friday, just a couple of hours before he went onstage at the Hip Hop Live tour with
. He let it be known that he doesn't stand firmly behind the new Clan album,
8 Diagrams.
Ghostface Killah
"I love the Clan and all that, but we got certain problems right now," Ghost said. "Am I supporting the album? What's going on in the air right now and all that ... I'm supporting what I gotta do for right now for Ghostface. No disrespect to the album, I haven't really listened to the [project] like that, but I heard the responses and I kinda had an idea it was gonna turn out however it turned out. ... No telling how [the group situation] is gonna be tomorrow — a nice conversation or something to make your heart feel good. But as of right now, it's two weeks before my album
The Big Doe Rehab
comes out on December 4; I'mma do what I gotta do for Tony Starks. I can't worry about all this other stuff that's trying to take me out my game.
"Everybody is grown men on that side," he added about Wu-Tang. "There's no way in the world we shouldn't make the best album. You got me on your team, you got Rae, you got Meth, you got a dream team. The people been waiting for us for years, and to try and bake something that's not all the way baked and ready and rushing, I don't agree to that. So I'm not signing off on that. Don't put my name on that. I don't want people looking at me like, 'Ghost, what did you do?' I didn't do nothing. Nobody wanted to listen. Yeah, I came in [during] the ninth inning because I been played with the past couple of years, so I wasn't really going in on the Wu album. I was like, 'Forget that, I'm not doing that. N---as owe me money.' What I look like?"

Mr. Ken Murray talks to attractive, glamorous stars, & clowns around w/his actual friends; yet he's also an "average guy." His friendly voice is easy to listen to, it's like viewing these clips in his own home. Watch for footage of 1927 LA, & old airplanes, & Mt. Rushmore in progress! The little girl singing to Mr. Murray's son, is the funniest PG film you'll ever watch! My grandpa was from southside Chicago, so we're Sox fans, but I'm stunned-he never told me about the celebrity ballgame at Wrigley in December 1943-MICKEY ROONEY almost got a home run! I wish we could see that whole game.

I've been a 'film buff' all my life. I consider movies prior to the '70's my meat & potatoes. I love film noir, the old melodramas, slapstick,etc. I must confess, as much "TCM" as I've watched over the years this was new to me, and so glad I found it.This is an important bit of Hollywood for those who really enjoy the glamour days of film. And, there are no longer any "real" emcees like Ken Murray, Phil Harris, Ed Sullivan, etc. so it fills that gap a little also. Most fun watching a documentary in a very long time!

HOLLYWOOD MY HOMETOWN....a true cherished treasure
- Nasser Pazirandeh
- 10/16/12
I moved to the Los Angeles area in 1967 as a young boy and spent the next 25 years in LA and am a huge fan of the Hollywood of the 30's, 40's and the 50's. The Ken Murray film "HOLLYWOOD MY HOMETOWN" is truly a treasure and can best be described as 40 minutes of pure delight and proud American history for the three decades that he and Mrs. Murray painstakingly took home movies and pictures of the film industry and its greatest stars and participants. I particularly enjoyed watching the tender moments when talented and under-rated actor Robert Cummings teaches his one-year old daughter how to swin in their home swimming pool and how touching it is to see him with his family. This is a "must see" film for anyone who enjoys classic American films.

Hollywood, My Hometown is Just Like Being There
- Steve
- 10/16/12
Mr. Murray's (and his wife's) behind-the-scenes movies of Hollywood life are just wonderful! I felt like I was "there." Looking into the every day lives of these famous people brought so much of their lives into perspective. As beautiful and unapproachable as these movie stars appear to be on screen, they are normal folks off screen, with families and even modest homes. Yes, I could watch this over and over again. I just wish there was a lot more of it! Thank you Mr. Murray.
I second the motion for a DVD!

For those of us who have been in love with the movies all of our lives this was a real treat. I am 51 and was ten or so when the nostalgia craze hit. Like me I am sure many of you have many picture and reference books about stars and films and such and have a hard time coming across something you haven't already seen. Ken Murry was truly on the front lines of early Hollywood dating back to 1927 when he first arrived. This TV special was made in 1965. His perspective and home movies were facinating and I would love to have a copy of this so see not only the stars again but the actual footage of Los Angeles in it's infancy. Someboy put this thing on DVD!

I continue to be amazed at how wonderful TCM is. This 53 minute film is a must-see for all , and especially if you are a Baby Boomer. I could watch it over and over. The unscripted footage of WC Fields and the underwater shots of Bob Cummings baby daughter( and I do mean baby )are things of joy. Please watch. You won't be disappointed. Thank you TCM for the high standards you continue to uphold. Somebody's got to do it, and I thank you. Janie B. Richmond Virginia

Washington Farm Offers Advanced Internship for Farm Partnership
Are you planning to make organic farming your career and lifestyle, and are thinking about acquiring a farm from which to make a living? Here's an opportunity to acquire all the farming infrastructure you will need along with the aid of knowledgeable farmers to help you succeed. Join Earth and Sky Organics and become our Farm Partner to bring this small-scale organic farm into greater production in CSA and farm-stand produce sales.
We created and operated an educational center (access info at http://directory.ic.org/records/?action=view&page=view&record_id=2128) where we taught our homesteading knowledge and skills we accumulated since the 1970s. During the past twelve years we also built up the soil in several of our fields via sheet composting, and mastered growing methods adapted to our seasonal demands. We utilize permanent raised beds and non-mechanized intensive and succession planting techniques to achieve high yields. We built fifty-plus raised bed and have begun work on more than one hundred more. Our soil is prime for growing the finest organic produce for CSA and farm-stand sales, but we are nearing retirement age. We seek a younger individual or couple to partner with us toward these goals.
The season here begins April 1 and ends mid-October. We guarantee you a stipend of $1000 a month during this season until such time that a fifty percent share of the CSA subscriptions plus farm-stand receipts equates to a greater amount per month. We provide seed, tools, greenhouse space and all farming infrastructure necessary (can provide photo files upon request).
The position requires patience, teamwork, cooperative and communication skills with farm partners and public. You will need to receive instructions gracefully, master tasks, and perform them efficiently and to high standards. Must be self-motivated and physically strong and have basic carpentry skills for raised beds and cold frame cover construction. Non-smoker only. Having your own transportation is a must. Private quarters provided, you cook your own meals.
Please send us your résumé giving previous work experience and references. Include a description of yourself and your interests, skills, and aspirations to the Farm Partner position. A recent photo of yourself and any additional pertinent information would be helpful in evaluating your application.

The Poetry Section: Ana BoГ...ВҫiГ"ВҚeviГ"вҖЎ, "The Day Lady Gaga Died"
This week in The Poetry Section: two poems by Ana BoГ…ВҫiГ"ВҚeviГ"вҖЎ.
Rise in the Fall
ItвҖҷs spring in Manhattan, but everyoneвҖҷs wearing
summer dresses, through that bit of cold
that death. At the table next to mine, the young Brit and the witch
brainstorm about holding
enormous healings. At this point IвҖҷd settle for you
just trembling next to me. DonвҖҷt you know how to do that
Do you know how unhappy one is
who wants a ghost for a horse
when told that only the living can marry the living?
This poemвҖҷs boring. I dreamed some lesbian wrote a really good poem
called Pinko and
I woke up to a straight straight world.
LetвҖҷs sit here in the cafГ© for now. WeвҖҷll rise up
next fall, when they can no longer deport me.
And at the end of our revolutionвҖҰ ItвҖҷs real hard to say what IвҖҷm seeing
I see, a planet?
the kind of green I canвҖҷt even describe
IвҖҷm falling asleep. I see
They found me sleeping
on the tallest wave
blanket and all. They said my name and
down I wept-
next I stood on the sand and
the love pulled back
I could see the sea floor
all those hinges in the sand-grass
needed tongue-grease to work. I said Come back
and it came back in, like it forgave me
ThatвҖҷs all. Pinko was not even that good but
I can still change everything
about it.
We can change everything.
The Day Lady Gaga Died
What is this day: is it like a rainbow
an abstract I kinda grasp, is it a house with the white streamers on it
how can I get at it.
Once I knew a girl called herself Beauty
and her leather accessories Beasts.
So can things be what I name them, is that the secret.
Once on a time in Osteuropa
a girl lived who went to the Contours Club:
she touched herself on a Slope among the Suncloudsв"ў.
That all sounds vapid. Yeah, I touched myself. Kind of fat,
never thought I was a natural, a star,
I just didnвҖҷt вҖңgetвҖқ the others. But you,
you donвҖҷt want to hear that part, you just want me to keep having sex
among the politics.
Fuck you: all I want to write about is
bumblebees, bumblebees.
New York School is because
you have to name things in New York.
Otherwise, too much exists
Ana BoГ…ВҫiГ"ВҚeviГ"вҖЎ was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1977. She emigrated to NYC in 1997.

31 year old man | Tarzana, CA, USA | Seeking women 24-35 within 50 miles
Lot's of people want to ride with you in the limo, I want someone who will take the bus with me when the limo breaks down
In modern society time is so precious. It seems like more and more I am willing to pay big bucks for "free time." A big part of being on match is because I am an extremely busy person. Not to come off overly self important. We all live in a busy world. My job is very demanding and the one thing I don't have is time. As I am writing this I am literally like… "I want this profile to be good, but I don't have the time to put into it." I work in advertising and have a giant passion for what I do! I am lucky to work somewhere I have a huge impact. I am a pretty laid back guy. I grew up and went to college in New England. Having lived on both coasts I definitely have a refreshing take on many situations. I am a bit of a goofball and I love to joke around but I also have a serious side and definitely a romantic side. I am super active!! I work out all the time! I love to hit the gym but I also love being outside and just getting a work out doing fun activities. I know it's a bit juvenile but I am a skateboarder. Yes I go to the skate park and do tricks. I love it! I also love snowboarding, hiking, golfing, playing beach volleyball, basketball. Any sport or activity you can have a great time with friends and get a work out, I am in! Although I watch what I eat I definitely live to wine and dine. Trying new restaurants and new cuisine is huge on my list. I like watching movies and TV but I would much rather be doing stuff, than watching other people do stuff. I am looking for someone who is similar enough to me to be compatible, but different enough to complement me and be able to show me a thing or two. She knows how to go out and have a good time. She is just as comfortable getting dressed up for a night on the town as she is staying in a watching a movie. I want someone who is successful and has a passion for life. Success has many definitions. I don't need to date a CEO and it's not what you do for work that's important so long as you have passion for it. If you wake up everyday and complain about how much you hate your job, I don't want to date you. I want to be with someone who can make a good joke, can take a bad joke and knows when it's time to stop joking. As I explained I am very athletic. I workout, I eat well, I am interested in personal fitness and that's no BS. I really want someone who is also into staying healthy. That doesn't mean I need someone who is at the gym everyday but someone who is active and cares about their health and fitness. Lastly values are important. Having a strong moral compass and being able to handle stressful situations with class and grace is something i look for. Where that comes from doesn't matter as much to me.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Running, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
I love to travel when I have the time. I love Vegas! Going to see my sisters in NYC. Locally I frequent- The Village Idiot, The Local Peasant, Black Market....
I'm not big into possessions. The time we have is worth more than the things we own.
Again active stuff. Sports or anything outside. I am not a big partier but I definitly like to drink with the boys on occasion! I love live music. You could basically take me to any concert and I will love it. I am a drummer myself.
I just finished "Accidental Magic" by Roy H. Williams who is "The Wizard of Ads." It's about writing ads and using imagery. I read a lot of books that pertain to my profession.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Johnson had an embarrassing moment during Saturday night's MLB game against the Oakland A's when he threw a wild pitch during an intentional walk.
It happened with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning and A's runner Josh Reddick on second. The plan was to intentionally walk A's batter Yoenis Cespedes to set up a potential double play. However, that plan was torn to shreds when Johnson's 1-0 pitch sailed about 5 feet over catcher Matt Wieters' head and into the backstop, allowing Reddick to advance to third easily.
Fortunately Johnson got out of the inning without giving up a run, so Johnson's intentional walk failure didn't cost the team.

TV Fashion: Lana Lang of 'Smallville'
That is, unless you're the very stylish Lana Lang, played by
And when you start with the sultry looks of Lana, even black T-shirts look cool. For example, a black long-sleeve V-neck T-shirt like the one worn in the first episode of last season, made by Splendid and available at shopbop.com. Clingy, tight and semisheer, it features 3/4-inch banding at the neck and is made of 50 percent cotton and 50 percent modal. Modal is a bio-based fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees and is 50 percent more water absorbent than cotton. It also does not pill and is resistant to shrinkage and fading.
Another Lana favorite is a BCBG ruffle charmeuse polo in black. Ruffled smocking details a silk charmeuse polo shirt with an open neckline and button-cuffed sleeves. The shirt also features a hidden side zipper, elastic empire waist and a paneled hem. Available at Nordstrom, the $138 shirt works beautifully over skinny jeans.Speaking of which, Lana tends to wear skinny jeans like Lex wears bald. The siren slides into phenomenal 16-inch straight leg dark vintage jeans by J Brand. The 16-inch refers to the opening at the straight leg. These jeans are beyond hot and feature five-pocket styling, single-button closure and contrasting bronze stitching throughout. Available for $158 at www.couturecandy.com, they can then be paired with black patent leather Liliana's from Nine West. These 4-inch heeled peep-toe dazzlers will make a man weaker than kryptonite in his cornflakes.
For a more ethereal look, Ms. Lang has been spotted in the long poet superfine cardigan by Free People (available through

Expensive insulating softshell
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Its a very nice jacket- don't get me wrong. Great cut, soft warm fuzzy inside, feminine fit. Works great as an outsell or midlayer under a gore tex jacket. But it is crazy expensive and since getting an Atom SV and Atom LT my wife never wears this anymore (see our reviews of both jackets).
Powershield does a decent job of blocking the wind (on gusty days you can feel some of the wind through the jacket). Has a great soft fuzzy fabric laminated to the outer fabric which provides loft (about a 300wt fleece equivalent). However the Atom SV does the same job only better at less of a cost and it packs down to nothing making it ideal for travel. It has become more of a niche jacket in my wifes closet only coming out a few times a year.
Overall 2 star rating mostly due to the high cost of this jacket

It is one thing to lament the financial pressures put on universities, quite another to face up to the poverty of resources for thinking about what universities should do when they purport to offer a liberal education. In Powers of the Mind, former University of Chicago dean Donald N. Levine enriches those resources by proposing fresh ways to think about liberal learning with ideas more suited to our times.
He does so by defining basic values of modernity and then considering curricular principles pertinent to them. The principles he favors are powers of the mind—disciplines understood as fields of study defined not by subject matter but by their embodiment of distinct intellectual capacities. To illustrate, Levine draws on his own lifetime of teaching and educational leadership, while providing a marvelous summary of exemplary educational thinkers at the University of Chicago who continue to inspire. Out of this vital tradition, Powers of the Mind constructs a paradigm for liberal arts today, inclusive of all perspectives and applicable to all settings in the modern world.
Editorial Reviews
"Writing as scholar, teacher, and dean, Levine provides rich evidence that current debates in the world of liberal education are part of a continuing negotiation that has deep but frequently forgotten roots. This study also reminds us that the norm of a four-year undergraduate experience, complete with majors and general education requirements, was not preordained and that the aims are more enduring than the forms."
"Powers of the Mind will become an instant landmark in the history and analysis of education in the liberal arts. Donald Levine understands that liberal education is more than the content of a curriculum; liberal education is a set of pedagogies, an approach to assessment and evaluation, and a conception of intellectual and moral development that transcends particular authors and works. He does not stop at description and analysis; he courageously offers a compelling proposal for the reinvention of the pedagogies of the liberal arts for the future. I love this book and look forward to savoring it repeatedly."
"A truly significant book—both timely and timeless. Liberal education is challenged by the commercialism and indeed commodification of the university, exacerbated by growing aimlessness. In Powers of the Mind, Donald Levine recenters the necessary conversation about the reconstruction of liberal education by reflecting on its best traditions in the context of its present situation and mission. It's hard to say which is more thrilling: the sweep and originality of Levine's narrative about the history of liberal education at the University of Chicago or his own pedagogical and curricular prescriptions, based on a lifetime of engaged teaching, learning, and administrative leadership."--Mark D. Jacobs, George Mason University

By Donald N. Levine
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS Copyright © 2006 The University of Chicago
All right reserved.
Chapter One The Place of Liberal Learning
"Liberal learning" is a commonplace. Locating that place requires four rough distinctions.
One rough distinction concerns the timing of what is learned. To begin with, individuals learn what they must know to become human beings in their particular society. This learning happens early and involves widely shared patterns. A second phase occurs during adolescence and after; it involves learning special, often specialized, matters humans must know to function as adults.
A second distinction concerns the content of what is learned-whether it concerns ways to engage in social relations and play social roles or the complex of ideas whereby people impart meanings to their environment. The term socialization refers to the former, that is, experiences whereby persons learn their positions in networks of social relations and how to behave toward others in those networks. On the other hand, the process of assimilating the meanings in one's culture we designate as enculturation.
Both distinctions reflect features unique to humans. The exceptionally long maturation period of humans accounts for the distinction between primary and secondary phases of learning. The distinction between learning social roles and absorbing cultural symbols indicates that while other animal species exhibit well-defined patterns of social interaction, humans alone rely essentially on symbols.
These two distinctions combine to identify four sites of learning experience:
1. Primary socialization teaches general ways of relating to people-for example, to be loyal to those to whom they are bonded or to show respect to people according to their social status. 2. Secondary socialization teaches how to play special adult roles: how to be a carpenter or a healer, organization man or entrepreneur, political leader or church follower. 3. In primary enculturation, individuals internalize the common features of their society's culture-its language and music, heroes and holidays, beliefs about the world and basic values-whether piety, industry, military courage, beauty, or the like. 4. In secondary enculturation, individuals acquire ideas reserved for adults and, often, only for selected adults.
Liberal learning figures as a particular form of secondary enculturation. It evolves when special teachings are adduced to create what is considered a "higher" kind of human being. It instantiates a third distinction, between the acquisition of adult popular culture, common to all adults, and some form of elite culture. Elite secondary enculturation (distinct from elite secondary socialization, which prepares persons for high-status governance or technical occupational roles) has taken two main forms. Associated with the ethics of two world-historical cultural transformations, this pair of forms embodies a fourth distinction, between what I shall call civilized learning and liberal learning.
Sites of Secondary Enculturation
COMMON ADULT CULTURE In speaking of the popular, commonsense form of secondary enculturation, I refer initially to small, undifferentiated societies where a homogeneous culture is shared by virtually the whole adult community. Although such societies may possess lore known only to specialists such as shamans or chieftains, their basic religious notions, magic, science, and artistic forms are common property. Secondary enculturation takes the form of initiating young people into this adult lore. Such initiations may involve dramatic transitional rites-through such ordeals as scarification, prolonged fasting, or circumcision-when the young person is taught the sacred myths and traditions of the community as well as the names of their gods and stories of their works; or it may occur casually, with youngsters educated informally by relatives and village elders.
Comments of Australian Aborigines exemplify this sort of learning, which prevailed over most of human history. "I tell my kids stories when they come hunting with me. I show them how to hunt, fish, get bush tucker-these are good things to eat." "In my life when I was young he was teaching us how to hunt and telling us stories every day. I always remember the things he was teaching me-language, places, skins, clans, djang (dreaming) sites, sacred places. He is still teaching me." Such teaching was unwritten; it was unstructured; it occurred anywhere and everywhere; it involved no specialized lore. And it was essential for a group's survival. When such teachings were lost, individuals might find new subsistence skills, but their culture could not survive and their lives were drained of meaning. Another Aborigine said, "When I look at a lot of aboriginal people who don't have their culture I feel sad for them. You don't really feel that you have a place of belonging."
And so, for example, young people of the Kuku Yalanji clan would learn to use juice of green ants to heal sore throats and chest colds; to make and use fire sticks; to climb trees to collect honey, possums, bird eggs, and fruits; to build traps to snare scrub turkeys. They learned what to do with water lilies (eat their roots and stems, make cakes by wrapping their ground seeds in the lily's leaves and cooking them in sand under hot coals); who among them could eat stingrays or eels (elders only); who could eat food a child brings from hunting (only the godparents); what to say when someone dies (not mention their name); how to identify "sacred" or "dangerous" places created by the First People (marked by cairns, stone arrangements); and what rules to follow and obligations to assume with respect to people, animals, and places. Before outsiders with superior weapons forcibly intruded, these people lived smart, alert, often happy lives, in tune with the surround of nature, their community of people, and their encompassing world of spirits. What they learned was common to all, at least to members of the same age and gender groups, and all of their learning related to ways to survive and live together effectively. For them, a higher level of human being amounted simply to anyone who conformed particularly well to customary expectations.
"CIVILIZED" ELITE CULTURE Ancient forms of liberal learning emerged from a long process of differentiation from the customary thoughtways of commonsense culture. The germs of these systems appeared in speculations about life and the world that took shape in what Paul Radin described in Primitive Man as Philosopher (1927). Over time such notions developed into traditions of philosophy, theology, and fine arts transmitted through formal schools of instruction. These traditions formed the cultural core of what we refer to as historic civilizations.
The historic civilizations evolved separate tracks for secondary enculturation. We sometimes speak of their cultures as divided into a high culture and a low culture, what Redfield called a "Great Tradition" and a "Little Tradition." For illiterate members of such societies, secondary enculturation would follow the commonsense pattern. But for those who, by special position or by talent and ambition, learned how to read, secondary enculturation could also take the form of acquainting them with the great texts of their high culture. In Imperial China this enculturation involved study of the analects of Confucius and the historical writings of Confucian scholars; in Hindu civilization, the Vedas and Upanishads; in Jewish civilization, the Bible, Talmud, and Midrash; in the Christian tradition, the Old and New Testaments and other sacred literature, with variants such as Ethiopian Orthodox Christian texts and an esoteric type of poetry; and in Islamic civilization, the Qur'an and the Hadith.
Notable in all these traditions is a shift from using cultural forms solely for purposes of adjustment to natural and social worlds to ways of honoring them as guides to transcending worldly habits and thereby producing a higher, "civilized" type of humanity. Most of their prophetic works appeared around the sixth century BCE-a crucially formative period in world history, which Karl Jaspers ([1949] 1953) has described as an "Axial Age"-when a number of powerful cultural developments took place independently in China, India, Iran, Palestine, and Greece. An era of simultaneous destruction and creation, the Axial Age redirected cultural symbols from a basically utilitarian, adaptive function toward a self-conscious striving for transcendence and self-determination. Jaspers represented this historic transformation as a process of spiritualization (Vergeistigung), whereby humans came to reorient their lives through adherence to transcendent spiritual directives. The elevated character of these texts meant that the primary outcome of studying them was to reinforce their sacral authority.
"LIBERAL" ELITE CULTURE In contrast with those types of elite enculturation that focused on mastery of the texts and doctrines of an Axial civilization, another type stressed the production of an especially cultivated type of person. In ancient China, this type became the preeminent ideal of the gentleman-scholar. During the latter sixth century BCE,, Confucius described this ideal as one who possesses wisdom, courage, and magnanimity, and who is accomplished in courtesy, ceremony, and music. He stressed the virtue of sincerity and held that education was a means to gain an enlightened mind, enlightened in the sense of coming to grasp the remarkable harmonies of nature. Classical Chinese education attempted to produce a broadly cultivated man through a program that included both literary and martial training. The curriculum codified during the Chou period consisted of six subjects, sometimes called the liberal arts of classical Chinese education: rituals, music, archery, charioting, writing, and mathematics.
A Japanese variant of this conception employed the idiom of "polishing" the person. In medieval Japan, this idiom became crystallized in the ideal of bu-bun, the cultured warrior, who received training in the various arts of combat and in such other arts as calligraphy, poetry, and tea ceremony-arts closely associated with traditions of Zen Buddhism.
In the West, the form of liberal education designed to produce elite persons is usually traced to ancient Greece around the sixth century BCE, reaching generative depth in the "educational century" of Athens, from about 450 to 350 BCE. The educational ideal formulated there, paideia, denoted an aspiration to use culture as a means to creating a higher type of human being. The Greeks believed, we are told, that education in this sense "embodied the purpose of all human effort. It was, they held, the ultimate justification for the existence of both the individual and the community" (Jaeger 1939, xvii).
This type of elite learning celebrated not the authority of sacred texts but the formation of adults with special qualities. Aristotle's Politics (1255b, 1258b, 1337a) remains a locus classicus of this formulation. Aristotle distinguished between education that is liberal, meaning appropriate to a free man (eleutheron), and education suited for slaves and servile classes. The distinction was made on the basis not of subject matter but of the spirit in which a subject is pursued. One may pursue a subject out of necessity, as learning a trade may be necessary to earn a living. One may study something for its utility, as reading is useful because it enables one to decipher signs. Or one may pursue a subject because of peer pressure, as the fashionable "thing to do." But by definition, to act from necessity is not the mark of being free; to seek utility everywhere is not suited for those who are great-souled and free; and to follow some pursuit because of the opinion of other people, says Aristotle, would appear to be acting in a menial and servile manner.
In contrast to motives of this sort, Aristotle describes motives to learn that befit a free person: learning that is undertaken for its own sake and appropriate for promoting a good life. Although Aristotle certainly does not deny the need to study useful arts, he insists that they should not constitute the whole point of learning. Free people should study drawing, he urges, not merely to avoid being cheated in buying and selling furniture, but for the liberal reason that this study makes one observant of bodily beauty.
Aristotle's notion of what this education should consist of rested on the teachings of Socrates and Plato and featured the philosophical pursuit of truth. This view of liberal education was by no means shared by all prominent educators of the time. Indeed, the "education century" was marked by acrimonious competition among educators. Isocrates, who commanded a larger following than Aristotle, emphasized civic activities and therewith promoted arts of discourse as the most suitable education for free men.
Proponents of both views directed their teachings to those who were of high status-free, not slaves or servile, and wealthy enough to have the leisure time to spend on educational pursuits. They believed that the ennobling education proper to free persons should include a physical as well as intellectual component. In later centuries, cultivation of the body disappeared as a component of liberal training, so that intellectual arts alone emerged as suitable subjects for liberal learning. The Greeks named these intellectual arts arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music, grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic. During the Roman Republic, the prominence of legal and political issues disposed educators to feature the cultivation of rhetorical skills as the prime component of liberal teaching. Looking to Isocrates as a model, these proponents of oratory, most notably Quintilian and Cicero, identified a set of arts proper for free citizens, which they designated as artes liberales.
Although early Christian fathers were wary of such "pagan" subjects, by the fourth century CE, figures such as St. Augustine were able to embrace major parts of the classical liberal curriculum. When invasions swept aside traditional Roman schools, the church, needing a literary culture for its clergy, sustained educational traditions that Rome had adapted from the Greeks. By the sixth century, Christian educators including Cassiodorus and Isidore of Seville codified the liberal arts into an encyclopedic education. Their curriculum organized human knowledge into seven fundamental disciplines, divided into two groups: the trivium, consisting of the disciplines of grammar, logic (sometimes dialectic), and rhetoric; and the quadrivium, comprising arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music (the ancient Pythagorean program of mathematics). Transmitted by monastics for centuries, this curriculum entered secular universities during the Renaissance.
The liberal arts tradition came to the United States with the Puritan divines in Massachusetts. It was instituted in American colleges in a framework that combined Protestant piety and mental discipline, a term that came to embrace the approach to disciplines found in the Renaissance curriculum. The core of this curriculum consisted of Greek and Latin languages and literatures, biblical studies, and moral philosophy. Well into the nineteenth century, the political and cultural elites of Western Europe and the Americas were groomed on curricula of this sort, programs of liberal cultivation inspired by Renaissance culture.
The Modernity Revolutions
From the eighteenth century onward, Western philosophers of education came to evolve new rationales and directions for liberal learning. They and the educational administrators who followed in their wake were responding to momentous changes in their societal and cultural environments. For thinking about those changes, the notion of modernity, however ambiguous its sense and contested its meanings, offers a point of reference. It symbolizes the sense of a radical discontinuity between earlier forms of social order and the sense, perhaps for the first time in Western history, that the "modern" or novel did not have pejorative overtones.

I'm using around 20Gb on my 32Gb Nexus 7 (illustrated books, photos, couple of games, music and some video). Imagine I could pare it down to under 16Gb but why should I bother when NAND costs less than $1/Gb retail?
I like to think a new tablet will give 3+ years useful life and can imagine plenty of ways future apps will benefit from greater storage. Given the devices are not expandable, why should I support built in obsolescence aspirations of manufacturers by saving a few quids worth of parts on a £300+ device? I expect (speaking as a developer) we are going to see growth in 1-2Gb apps over next couple of years which will make the 16Gb systems look old fairly quickly.

Here are my collection of links for this week.
- My first link for this week is to a great little motivational post from Joe Hobot titled Live Your Life While You Can. Although nothing like this has happened to myself, I know people who it has happened to and facing death tends to change people's outlook on life for the better. This is a nice inspirational read.
- My second link is a post titled Action Not Words: The Difference Between Talkers and Doers. How many times have you met a gonna doer. Somebody who is a talker and not a doer. This post looks at what the difference is between these people.
- My third link is to a post showing how the author uses Evernote for Clients. I always love to see these usage posts for Evernote, which is one of my favourite applications.
- My fourth link is a link to a post titled Six Ways to Supercharge Your Productivity. This is a nice list of simple ways to boost your productivity so stop what you are doing and read it now!
- My fifth and last link is to part 12 of a 14 part series from the Simple Dollar where they are discussing the Getting Things Done book by David Allen. This twelfth installment is titled Getting Things Done: The Power of the Next-Action Decision. This is an excellent series and well worth the time investment.
Hope you all have a great week ahead!

Tripmaster switch on an SE
Has anyone else actually fitted and got a tripmaster switch completely functional on an SE?
I have fitted one and the mode button works fine, the lower button works fine on trip 2 to reduce the reading but the upper button refuses to do anything. After looking through manuals and with help from Autostream on the mobile while looking at his setup on the adventure it all appears to be wired correctly.
Pin 12 on the speedo just does not do anything. If I earth out pin thirteen it moves the trip 2 display counting down. Nothing I do seems to make it count up.
If I remember the switch on mine correctly the single button changes the mode, the other two are used to advance or decrement the trip 2 odometer and thats it.
Seth your memory is faultless...
What I need to know is there someone who has successfully wired in a tripmaster switch on the SE? Did it work properly? Do you have an SE Seth and is your switch working as per your memory of it?
Sorry, just trying to be helpful, guess I didnt understand your question. I have the adventure. I thought you were implying that the second switch had a range of other amazing functions. I was merely pointing out that it did one thing only...guess I read it into your post that you had it working...versus not working at all. Seems kind of odd that it would not work. You would think it would be the exact same computer...would not make sense to come up with a new computer...at least not from a cost of manufacturing stand point.
KTM uses the same instrument cluster (#61014069000) for the 950 ADV/SE/SM, 990ADV and 06 990SD. So theoretically the tripmaster switch should work fine if wired correctly.
The cluster wiring on the 950ADV is virtually the same as the 950SE, except KTM shows the speedometer input to the cluster (black/orange wire) to be pin#14 on the ADV, on the SE it is pin#16
On the 950 ADV the multifunction switch is wired like this:
Pin#11 yellow/brown
Pin#12 yellow
Pin#13 green/red
The '06 Superduke and the 990 ADV use pin#12 for the coolant temp. input, instead of pin#19, which is used on all of the carbed bikes. So the 990ADV can't use pin#12 for the multifunction switch.
The 990 ADV multifunction switch is wired as follows:
Pin#11 yellow/brown
Pin#13 yellow
Pin#14 red/green
You might find someone with a 950 Adventure to check the cluster wiring to see if it is actually the same as the wiring diagram. If it is, you might try swapping the speedometer input to pin#14, and then wire the multifunction switch to pins#11,12,13.
Otherwise, you could try the 990ADV multifunction switch wiring of pins#11,13,14.
I don't know how KTM can wire the same cluster so differently, maybe there are typo's in the wiring diagrams, so it might be good to have some people look at their bikes to see how they are actually wired.
Thanks Motobee
I am surprised by the difference in connections of what seems to be an identical part. Must be some smarts in there to configure it eh?
Please post your results so others can find out what works in the future.
Good luck,
Did you get it working?
If so love to see how you did it...something I'd like to do in the very near future
Pin 14 works
Change Pin 12 to pin 14 and all works OK. Pin 14 increases the reading on trip 2.
On the male or female side? sorry if this is a silly question...I've been drinking.....and not done either.... a round for the house...on ME!
Would the tripmaster from an EXC be wired different from the Adventure tripmaster ? The EXC connector looks to be the same as on the SE.:ear
You must have a different SE to me...
I have had to wire an adventure trimaster switch (ie cut off the plug) directly into pins 11, 13 and 14 of the multifunction speedo. I am sorry I cannot help you with your question as my SE does not have a connector for the tripmaster switch.
Not sure what to answer here Amos.

I "borrowed" my Tripmaster from my 06 EXC and it plugs straight in. The center button changes modes and the top and bottom buttons increment up and down.
The wires are a touch too short, but that is easily remedied. Also the EXC Tripmaster doesn't have the same mounting bracket as does the Adventure Tripmaster. The EXC version has a band that wraps around the handlebar but it would have to mount inward too far for easy thumb reach (not a big deal but if you're going to all the trouble anyway make it right).
I don't know the dimension of the Adventure Tripmaster connector if it's the same as the EXC version then it's "plug and play". My EXC Tripmaster connector size is 8.65mm wide and 4.66mm tall. The 4 wires from the rear with clip on top L-R Brown Red White Blue.
Can anyone confirm if the Adventure Tripmaster connector is the same as an EXC?
If not easiest solution is to purchase
EXC Tripmaster 54814073000 and bracket 58314069350
The Adventure Tripmaster is 58214069044

Greetings! It's that time of year again. Somehow I find myself just as I did last year, with Christmas rapidly approaching and without a single gift purchased. Yipes. I did, however, finally find a home for all of the corks I have been collecting this past year.
Interested in making a cork wreath? I found everything I needed at Michael's Craft store:
corks (a ton … couldn't tell you how many I used)
18-inch or 12-inch straw wreath*
pins (you know, sewing pins)
glue (I used clear craft glue … there are one million choices at Michael's. )
a decorative berry garland (optional, but I think it adds a nice touch)
red wire (thick enough and strong enough to hold up the wreath)
2.5-inch wide red ribbon
thimble (optional, but helpful)
* I used an 18-inch straw wreath. The next time I make one of these, I might try using a styrofoam wreath instead. The problem is that the styrofoam ones I saw at Michael's were white (naturally). I think the texture of styrofoam might hold the pins better but I think it would be necessary to spraypaint the wreath a light brown color. Might be something to consider. Styrofoam wreaths are oddly much more expensive than straw wreaths, too. Interesting.
I basically followed the method outlined on the blog Daily Inspiration. Truthfully, I doubted the wreath would come together the entire time I spent making it. Not until I wove the berries through the corks, tied the big red ribbon around the top and saw it hanging in the cafe where I work did I accept it had all worked out.
Here is what I did:
1. Lay newspaper across a big table. Put in a good movie or turn on some good tunes.
2. With your thimble on thumb, insert pins about halfway into as many corks as you can before you get bored.
3. Working with 10 to 20 at a time, squirt some glue onto the exposed portion of the pin. Begin inserting corks at a slight angle into the wreath as tightly as you can. This is harder than it sounds. I felt like I couldn't get the corks packed tightly enough together, but just trust that it will all work out in the end.
4. Repeat until the wreath is completely filled with corks. Carefully weave the decorative berries through the corks and around the wreath.
5. Make a big loop with the red wire. Cover the wire with the wide red ribbon.
6. Hang your wreath, step back and admire your handy work.
Please email me if you have any questions about this. I wish I had better photo-documented the process but alas I have not.
Also: If you are looking for some ideas for food-related gifts this holiday season, here is a little list I put together last year. If you have any other good ideas of your own, food-related preferably, let me know and I'll add them to the list:
Also, I'm refining a recipe I have for flourless chocolate cake. The recipe I have is pretty good but the quantity is so large — it's written in restaurant proportions — so I need to scale it back and tweak a few things before I can share it with you. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was well received. My brother polished off two of these mini cakes in one sitting. He's such a good boy.
Now, I also am wondering if any of you have a good recipe for homemade sticky buns? I really want to make them for my family over the holidays and I have about five or six different recipes on file that I have been comparing. I'm starting to get overwhelmed. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
You have an incredible post. Thanks to squad.

Sure, they may have been unorganized, inefficient and possibly even a fire hazard, but there simply were no other options. Today, businesses are increasingly coming to realize that technology has improved and there are alternatives. As a business owner, should you run your own data center or outsource your data storage and computing needs from a third‐party vendor
