Great Addition to Cooking Utensils
I'm very picky about the utensils I use especially because I want to take good care of my pots and pans. This spoon fits into the hand well, is big enough without being too big, is firm enough without damaging and I highly recommend it. I'm really glad I got it

Best Wooden Spoons
I love these spoons so much more than the regular traditional wooden spoons. They just seem to hold up better. I do wash mine by hand and not in the dishwasher. I highly recommend them and they look really nice in a ceramic crock.

Padfoot Prohibited by Liveley
Rated: [Reviews - 825]
Summary: Giving high school essays a Marauder twist, this fiction is centered around the idea that some seniors in high school are require to write a letter to incoming freshman before they graduate. At Hogwarts, Seventh Years are given an assignment to write such a letter for the new First Years. Sirius decides to actually take an assignment, well seriously...sort of. He decides to look back on his entire Hogwarts years and write down his list of things not to do at Hogwarts.
Awesome! I loved this. By the way, in the last chapter were you quoting from "Beautiful Disaster" by Kelly Clarkson? Because it certainly seemed like it. Anyway, bravo!
Rated: [Reviews - ]
Damn. It's over.
Yeah. I've been following this story since chapter seven and what can I say? I've laughed, I've cried, I've gone "Angelina, don't leave him!" and "Draco, you are not your father!" too many times for me to count.
This is the best chaptered fan-fic I have ever read. You combine everything perfectly: Angst, drama, romance, mystery, suspense, action and just about every other genre.
I will always remember this story.
P.S. I don't know anything about X-Men, can I read the sequel anyway? Because if I can't I'll have to rent all the movies and stuff which would be kind of a drag (unless they're as good as Star Wars, are they?). I'd do it for your fic-but I'd rather not.
Author's Response: Well, I\'m not sure if X-men compares to Star Wars, but I got a kick out the movies. Plus, more than 90% of the sequel will take place in the X-men world, so it would be wise to know a little about the characters. Or at least know who is who. =)
Thnanks for the review!
A Bitter Pill to Swallow by forsakenphoenix
Rated: [Reviews - 13]
Summary: Its the countdown to a breakdown. Lovers, friends, and those he thought were friendsit doesnt matter what they were, all that matters is what they aregone, dead; some buried beneath the surface of the earth, some beneath the surface of his skin. Post-Halloween 1981, RL/SB
Hello again. I reviewed this ages ago, but I thought Id have another go at and try to tell you why (in more detail, of course) I like this story so much.
The photographs were fantastic, and really told the stories instead of just being there for him to look at. My favorite is the one with Sirius in the common room, mostly because of the way hes described (though the concept itself is also very good), no facades or faked smiles a cruel boy who ruled over a kingdom of dark secrets. It makes the exact point its supposed to, and just sounds absolutely fantastic.
I also really loved the mini-story with the picture of the five of them because its so poignantly beautiful. The paragraph at the end of the story is really you at your best, because it says so much without needing to spell it out, just like Sirius used to say he loved Remus.
Anyway, just thought Id try to leave a slightly more detailed review. I cant wait till you submit your next piece!
I love this story. I just do. It's perfect, and it's so sad. I was crying all through it and I keep on crying whenever I think about it. I especially loved the part about the picture of Sirius in the common room because it was just such a wonderful description and Remus's emotions were so poignant and sad. It was amazing. And that's really all I can say about it. Thank you.
The Shattering by MereRanger
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: Remus Lupin has lost everyone he cared for to Voldemort. Lily and James were killed, Peter died fighting, Harry has been taken to live with his aunt, and Sirius- Sirius Black betrayed them all. Now Remus must face his first transformation alone.
This story was lovely! The edning made my cry (poor Remus!). I really liked how the flashbacks and what was currently happening blended into each other. 10/10!
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the story. I've always loved flashbacks in stories and am happy that they worked in this one. Thanks for reviewing!
Sorry, typos. I meant ending and me.
Secret Sorrow by LydiaNightingale
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 25]
Summary: Written in response to Challenge One
"People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone."- Audrey Hepburn
It's New Year's Eve, late at night, and most of the world is out and about, except for two people. One person is lost emotionally, perhaps beyond all mortal repair, and another one is up, unable to sleep, just sitting. What happens when the two meet?
This was a really good story. Especially since it was Lupin who delivered the redemption and because (at least it seemed like you were implying this) he had a lot of problems of his own at that point. So, I really liked it and I wish you luck in the contest.
Where Laughter Dies by Noldo
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 36]
Summary: In the beginning of the Christmas holidays, Sirius Black runs away from home and will not return for twenty years. A warning for mild language.
What a lovely, lovely, heartbreaking fic. Ive read most of your work by now (Im steadily going through everything) and you never fail to disappoint. This, though, is incredible, because of the recurring theme of red and green (such wonderful imagery), all the italicized sections, and the ending.
He slams his glass of wine down, hard, on the table, and watches the smoky, blood-red stain seep through the white, and he sees red everywhere, red-on-red, red-on-green. This passage, because the wine is red, but the tablecloth is (presumably) white, shows the conflict Sirius is still going through. The red of the wine, and the red of Gryffindor, show who Sirius dominantly is, but the green that hes seeing shows that hes still going through a conflict, and still has a little vestige of Black, and Slytherin, in him-otherwise there would be no green, there would only be the red of the wine, and the white tablecloth. Though maybe Im hyper-analyzing, and you just did it because it reads so beautifully.
The little mini-story with Sirius and Remus after the Snape incident-in section II-is wonderful, particularly the lines, His own face shocked and startled flickering in the firelight, Remus laughing, Remus saying Well, of course I don't hate you any more. Let it go, Padfoot. I have. And, and left him there holding onto the rags of a friendship hoping for a miracle.
Remus didn't know that Sirius still had nightmares.
To me these lines capture the relationship between Remus and Sirius perfectly-that Remus was angry, that Remus did hate Sirius for a time. But also that he couldnt keep hating him. Remus forgives Sirius, because is that sort of person he is, but Sirius is still miserable, sometimes, and he was terrified of what he did, because he knew that he had made a mistake.
The end conversation between Regulus and Sirius is so logical, because Sirius still feels some vestige of emotion towards his brother, but only really because of what they used to have, and he knows that really he and Regulus stopped being brothers-and friends-a long time ago. Sirius doesnt go OOC, as I think that theres a very good chance that most authors would make him, but instead is realistic, and offers, but doesnt really hope. Its not an overly sentimental conversation, but one between two people who have a huge history but nothing left, and I think that it fits the way the Blacks were raised.
If Mugglenet still had a rating feature, this would get a ten (or five stars, or whatever it is, as I cant remember anymore).
The End of The World by Slian Martreb
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 16]
Summary: Title says it all, I think
Lovely. Really, really lovely. Ill admit, I was a bit surprised to find this on MNFF, even with the Muggle and Harry references, but Im really glad I did. You describe human life from the perspective of an outsider so well, with just the right amount of condescension, amusement, and pity but I can still see a bit of respect for we lowly humans in it.
I must say that I like the original version even better, perhaps because it fits together in a more logical fashion, and I like the ending better, cynic that I am. And also because it shows, instead of hope, the utter monotony and pointlessness of it all, because the end has already occurred and will occur forever, over and over again, but still does allow for that spark of hope that keeps us all from committing suicide.
Your work is true philosophy.
P.S. And may I say that I truly admire and adore your Wolfstar writings? It makes me warm, fuzzy, angsty, and sad all at the same time. Just as I like it.
Author's Response: Thank you so much-I don\'t know quite what else to say.
Invincible by annie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 29]
Summary: In the midst of a war-torn world, Harry lives carrying the wizarding worlds burdens, while Draco willingly follows his leader in darkness. When they meet one evening in the most unexpected of places, however, they find that their differences can be put aside, even if just for one night. Based on the song Invincible by Jesse McCartney.
You just made me very, very happy. Excellent story. It really portrayed Draco as he is: Not good, not bad, just indifferent. And Harry's reaction to the kissing was pitch-perfect. I loved how they reacted exactly as they discussed. And the emphasis of "Slytherin colors was genius. It sort of makes me think that Harry isn't the perfect Gryffindor and it emphasizes the pieces connection to Draco. And when Draco said that he didn't have enough time to hate Harry it really showed his attitude towards life.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that your characterization is genius, and I am now a delighted (and squeeing, you would not believe how much I squeed) fangirl and can go write my essay. Thank you.
Author's Response: Your comment certainly made me just as happy :) Thank you for writing such an in-depth review! I\'m always glad to be of assistance in bringing out the inner fangirl in everyone ^_^
A Cold Heaven by forsakenphoenix
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 19]
Summary: Even in death, James shines brighter than Sirius. But hes no longer jealous, knows that its just borrowed light; James glows when hes loved. He was always loved, will always be loved.
God. Its funny, I remember that line in Unveiled Secrets, that Sirius was first in Jamess heart, but Ill admit that I didnt take it like this. However, this is gorgeous (just like all your other fics, it drives me insane), and perfectly and utterly logical. The idea that they had such a relationship for ten years is incredible, especially because they waited seven years. And right before the wedding
Its so ridiculously in character I can barely stand it. Your Lily and James dont seem to be huge fans of getting married, do they?
Anyway, the take you put on all this was wonderful, and the switching off really fit. Its just such a wonderful idea, and it really makes an unbelievable amount of sense.
Anyway, Im babbling, and wasting space, so Ill sign off here. Youve managed to knock me off my feet and distract me from my homework yet again (if I fail school, you are definitely one of the reasons and yes, thats a compliment).

2015 Ruth Shiffrar Scholar
January 14, 2016
The inaugural Ruth Shiffrar Scholarship for Physical Education was recently awarded to Kinesiology major Karen Brambila Guzman. Her ideal academic profile made her a stand-out for the scholarship. Guzman is passionate about physical education and helping children. She's a community builder among teachers and students, and those are the criteria the scholarship committee was looking for. "I am truly honored to merely try to make you all proud of me," Guzman said. Maggie Shiffrar, Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies at CSUN, established the scholarship in her mother's name as a way to continue Ruth Shiffrar's legacy as an educator. Read more

Interior Design: Awarded for Imagination and Skill
January 14, 2016
When Interior Design senior Rina Velasco heard in class that she could take part in a design competition that would put her into collaboration with students from other colleges and universities, she didn't ask whether there was any prize money at stake. "I just did it for the experience," she said, "Ms. Kohn encouraged us to try it, and I thought, why not?" So when her five member team won the $10,000 first place award at the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Design Charette for their design for a youth hostel, she was beside herself. "I tell my friends it was my favorite senior moment," Velasco laughed. And she wasn't the only winner from CSUN. Michelle Sima, a junior, was part of the team who won 3rd place, and one of our newest Interior Design students, Neda Bakhtar also participated. Read more
Dance: A High Impact Practice for Learing and Life

Where does dance lead in life? Kinesiology students in the Dance program choreograph, produce and perform three dance concerts every year for the campus and local communities. But beyond dance, what are students learning – and how? While the dance concerts are by nature performances for audiences, from the perspective of educators, the productions are known to be High Impact Practices (HIPs) because the experience also leads students into self-discovery while helping students develop skills for further education and life overall.

Sheer coincidence, one would have charitably thought -- how can you blame educators for one boy's dark journey to manhood via treason? But according to The Associated Press, the principal of Tamiscal High feels different: "Principal Marcie Miller said the highly competitive school remains proud of Walker as well as its other students, who tend to be self-directed."
There is a whole school of pedagogy gone mad in that sentence: It doesn't matter what the little kiddies learn, only that they learn how to learn. Remove the teacher from a position of authority and hand responsibility for learning to the student. Walker learned that he needed a code by which to live, and apparently finding none at Tamiscal High, put himself under the direction of the dark side of the Koran. He may pay with his life for the lives he helped take. But see, he does Marcie Miller proud!
Oh, if only Mohammed Atta had been a student of Tamiscal instead of Hamburg University, how very, very proud Ms. Miller could be! Imagine the report card Tamiscal would be proud to issue on such a fine, self-directed, lifelong learner:
"Mohammed Atta is an independent learner who shows great persistence in pursuing his own educational goals: flying aircraft, scouting security protocols, investigating alternate terror-delivery devices (such as crop-dusters), developing new, flexible theological perspectives to overcome rigid inherited moral prohibitions on slaughtering 'innocents.' Works and plays well with other terrorists."
Can you imagine how proud Marcie Miller would be if Kathleen Soliah were a Tamiscal grad? Kathleen Soliah is, of course, the erstwhile home-grown terrorist who, after many years as a Minnesota housewife and mother (under the assumed name Sara Jane Olson), was finally arrested and pleaded guilty to helping bomb two police cars in 1975.
Maggie Gallagher is a nationally syndicated columnist, a leading voice in the new marriage movement and co-author of The Case for Marriage: Why Married People Are Happier, Healthier, and Better Off Financially.

The Patriots have shaken up things even more on Sunday as cornerback Ellis Hobbs has been traded to the Eagles for two 5th round picks. We'll have more on this in my draft analysis shortly.
Hobbs was a starter in 2008 and was very valuable in the kick return game. With a lot of new faces in the defensive secondary coming in, Hobbs seems to have been the odd man out.
The two 5th round picks were then traded to Baltimore for a fourth round pick and sixth round pick.

Featured Store: Carnaby Street London
In 1950 our Carnaby Street store used to be a live jazz venue called Club Eleven. Originally located at 41 Great Windmill Street, Soho, the club played a significant role in the early history of British bebop, a form of modern jazz. The club was so named because it had 11 founders – business manager Harry Morris and ten British bebop musicians. Club Eleven had two house bands, one led by Ronnie Scott and the other by John Dankworth.
Ben Sherman Recommends: Back In 5 Minutes
London is full of pop-up restaurants, supper-clubs and interesting dining concepts. Back in 5 Minutes is the new dining concept from The Disappearing Dining Club, a new restaurant and private dining room which is hidden away behind a clothes shop on Brick Lane.
Staff Picks: Ella // Portobello Store
As the staff in our stores spend more time with the collection than almost anyone else, helping ease your sartorial woes and to find that perfect shirt, we think they're in the best place to tell us how to wear it. This week we spoke to Ella at our Portobello store and asked her for her top picks. We chat to her about Wes Anderson, cameras and her season must have the bowling bag.
Exhibition: Leviathan by Michael Mantis
Our London head office sits in the heart of Clerkenwell, where there is always something to see or do. The Department of Coffee and Social Affairs can be located down Leather Lane, a remodelled architectural ironmonger, the site is a collaboration of coffee lovers, designers and artists.

Mark Goudeau To Jury Who Convicted Him: "I Am Not A Monster."
We have a friend who wishes "scientists" would be allowed to study the brains of incarcerated serial murderers. We try to explain that it sound like something the Nazi "Angel of Death," Dr. Josef Mengele, might be keen on.
Specifically, our friend (a local businessman) is referring to Phoenix's most recently convicted serial slayer, Mark Goudeau, who forever will be known as the "Baseline Killer."
Naturally, we, too, wonder what makes guys like Goudeau turn into mad killers that terrorize communities until, hopefully, they are caught.
Yesterday afternoon, Goudeau spoke directly to the jury and steadfastly denied any responsibility for the myriad violent crimes for which he now stands convicted--murders, rapes, kidnappings, armed robberies, and so on.
In his speech, he never even threw a backhanded bone to his victims, alive or dead, by saying how badly he feels about what happened to them--whoever might have done it.
Finally, after several months in trial, Goudeau now is but a jury verdict away from being sentenced to death row for the 2005-06 murders of eight Phoenix women and one man.
The panel will return to its duties after the Thanksgiving holiday, November 28 to be exact, when it will hear closing arguments in the penalty phase of the trial.
Prosecutors badly want the jury to sentence Goudeau to death.
The 47-year-old Phoenix man and his attorneys are asking jurors to spare his life. Goudeau already is serving a life sentence for the sexual assaults of two Phoenix sisters in September 2005.
Here is our recent in-depth story on Goudeau and the Baseline case, so-called because his first known crimes (a series of sexual assaults) after being paroled from prison in 2004 occurred on or near Baseline Road in south Phoenix.
Predictably, Goudeau blamed others for his current situation--especially his attorneys, whom he said did not do their jobs for him. He was correct in that the defense team called no witnesses on his behalf, including the defendant himself.
But here was just one of the rubs: The defense DNA experts (and this was in large part a DNA case) would have pretty much agreed with the state's analysts--Goudeau's genetic material was on several of the victims.
For purposes of brevity here, let's just say that Goudeau's "fingerprints," as it were, were all over this case. Whatever strategy they employed, his lawyers (actually, Goudeau himself) were screwed.
The jury found him guilty for good reason.
We will never forget Goudeau's opening line to the jurors, who stared at him stone-faced during his six-minute allocution.
"Hi guys," he said to the panel, smiling at them nervously. "Finally, you get to meet `the wolf in sheep's clothing.'"
Goudeau was referring to a phrase that the prosecution team (Suzanne Cohen and Patricia Stevens) must have employed a hundred times during the course of the months-long trial.
In the style of Sheriff Joe Arpaio ("This Sheriff will not tolerate..."), the killer often used the dreaded "third-person" to explain himself.
"They painted me as a monster," he said of the prosecutors. "Mark Goudeau is no monster."
Suffice to say, a bunch of folks, including the 12 citizens who will decide his punishment on the murder convictions, disagree with him on that point.

Ufo Formation Above San Francisco
- Uploaded by Grey on Dec 15, 2012
- Views: 99
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) -- A viewer told CBS 5 about some surprising video captured early Sunday morning in San Francisco's Mission District.In the video, a series of lights fly in formation above the city before appearing to take a diamond shape and eventually disappearing.Several commenters on the Mission Mission blog said that they had also noticed the aircraft.The video, which shows seven lights in a row, was shot by Enrique Barrios with his cellphone."Looked like flame, you know, fireballs in the sky," Barrios said in an interview with CBS 5.David Shelley took pictures as the lights hovered over him early Sunday Morning. "Kind of looked like a fiery, floaty thing," he said.Witnesses said the lights flickered on and off, then took different shapes."So in the beginning they looked like flying candles, and then afterwards they started making formations, triangular formations," said Barrios.Bing Quock, assistant director of the Morrison Planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences said, "It's not a planet, it's not a constellation, it's not meteors, it's not the moon."Quock said there is a plausible explanation. "It looks to me like it could have been balloons, carrying lights," he said.When asked if it could be some alien starship, Quock said, "That would not be my first guess, no.""I am 100 percent sure this was a UFO," Barrios said. But he admitted having a little Christmas cheer the night he took the video."Absolutely, tequila was maybe an influence here," he said, laughing.CBS 5 contacted federal aviation officials, and they said they have received no reports of strange lights in the sky, and aren't sure what the aircraft spotted in the video is. So for now, the flying objects remain unidentified.

LCD Soundsystem played 4 shows at Terminal 5 (same setlist each night) - night 2 pics, videos & more tour dates
photos by Vincent Cornelli
"In the 3 years since I've seen the band, they've become an even tighter and more powerful live act. Even songs I was not really a fan of on their records were delivered with such focused abandon that it was impossible to not shake a head or foot in timed unison. Stylistically, the songs and band seamlessly weaved in a rich cross-section of record geek "hip" subgenres (disco, electro, hip hop, no wave, new wave, post punk) with a decidedly nyc flair. Murphy takes his talking points in the definitive "Losing My Edge" as both an ironic critique of "hipster" authenticity and a genuine sonic blueprint for his own music and artistic influences" [In This Game a Minute]LCD Soundsystem and Holy Ghost! finished up their four-night run at Terminal 5 in NYC last night (5/23). They played the venue Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (there was also an official afterparty at Highline Ballroom on Saturday night). Pictures from the first night, are HERE (where you'll also find Holy Ghost's setlist). Pictures from night two are in this post.
The LCD setlist was exactly the same all four nights. According to Anon 4:33, James "commented on wanting to change up the set list for Sunday, but then said 'fuck it' and didn't. ok." That setlist is below.
And the (UK) numbers are in:
For the first time in 16 years, the Rolling Stones top the U.K. album chart, after their reissued 1972 album "Exile On Main St" (Polydor/Universal) hit No. 1. U.S. hip-hop artist B.O.B. debuted at the singles summit with "Nothing On You" (Rebel Rock/Grand/HustleAtlantic/Warner Music) featuring Bruno Mars...Those numbers are not to be confused with the U.S. Nielsen Soundscan numbers - a contest The National scored #3 in, one week earlier. This week's U.S. chart coming soon.
...long-running favorite dance act, LCD Soundsystem, got a No. 7 debut with "This Is Happening" (DFA) and Alicia Keys' "The Element of Freedom" (J/Sony Music Entertainment) raced 21-8. [Billboard]
No rest for LCD Soundsystem right now. The band, along with Holy Ghost!, are already playing their next show in Montreal tonight (5/24). This summer they'll hit festivals all over the world. In the U.S. it's Sasquatch (next weekend), Pitchfork, Bonnaroo, and ACL. All dates, more pictures from Friday, videos (including one of the balloons dropping) and the setlist, below...

"Good luck trying to find a better live show than the one LCD Soundsytem just put on at Terminal 5." - Jon Cohen
Holy Ghost! played their 2nd live show as a full band last night at Terminal 5 in NYC (5/20) (they went on at 8:30). Their six song set included a guest appearance by Penguin Prison, "Say My Name" (download it above, get it on their new EP) and "Jam for Jerry". Their full setlist is below.
Holy Ghost's first-ever show was a private show Saturday night at Under 100. Their third is tonight (Friday, 5/21), again at Terminal 5, and again opening for LCD Soundsystem. In fact, they open every LCD show from now until June 9th, and for Hot Chip at Summerstage. All dates below.
LCD Soundsystem went on at 9:30 and played for two hours, long encore included. The encore included a cover of Empire State of Mind - that's when the balloons came down, which they tacked on to NY I Love You.
The bands seemed to be having some technical difficulties. James said it's nice to be able to sleep in his own bed before each of the four NYC shows they're doing at the venue through Sunday.

'This is Happening' out now, LCD Soundsystem kicks off 4 night Terminal 5 run tonight (win tix), afterparty Saturday (on sale)
LCD Soundsystem @ Webster Hall in April (more by Ryan Muir)
"New York likes art stars. When I was in DFA, we were seen as these crazy guys throwing these drug parties connected to some fashion show. That was cool to people. Now I'm just a guy in a band. I suppose what happened is that I spent my whole life wanting to be cool, but eventually came to recognise the mechanism of how coolness works. So it's not really that I don't want to be cool any more - it's more like I've come to realise that coolness doesn't exist the way I once assumed."
[says James Murphy to Chuck Klosterman]
LCD Soundsystem kick off their four-night Terminal 5 run tonight (Thursday, 5/20). All four shows are opened by Holy Ghost! and are/were sold out (you can check Ticketmaster as they always release tickets to shows). We have one pair to give away for tonight. Details below.
LCD's new album "This is Happening" is out (you can get it at insound and iTunes). AT iTunes you get a a bonus track - a cover of Paperclip People's "Throw". Reviews range from Best New Music to "LCD Soundsystem can do, and has done, much better" to "You wonder how he could share lyrics so half-baked" to "Despite occasional flashes of brilliance this is a patchy, derivative work."
After the T5 show on Saturday there's an after-party with DJs James Murphy, Pat Mahoney and plenty of friends at Highline Ballroom. Tickets are on sale. More details in the flyer, with the contest details and the new video for "Bye Bye Bayou" below...

record store day @ Permanent Records in Greenpoint (autovac)
Hi everyone...Mystery of Two were the house band at Permanent Records on that day. The Drums and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart performed sets at Other Music. Billboard reports (via) that "this year's Record Store Day was, again, a success when measured by awareness, turnout and sales."
We at Permanent Records just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you so much for making this year's Record Store Day the unbelievably huge success that it was. You all helped make it the biggest weekend we've ever had, and we sincerely thank all of you for your continued support of our little record store. Hopefully you managed to get most (if not all) of the Record Store Day exclusives you were looking for. If you'd like to see photos from the big day (which, if you were at the front of the line that morning, you are probably in), click here.
We do still have some of the Record Store Day exclusives in stock... so if you haven't made it in to check out some of these limited new releases, it's still not too late! They're on display, right in front of you as you walk into the store.
So, since we're still recovering from the mayhem of this weekend, we're taking a break from our New In Stock / Back In Stock mailer this week. Rest assured, we have plenty of new records available this week, but if you wanna know what they're are, you'll just have to come in and look for them. You know, like old times.
Thanks again everyone. We truly appreciate your business.

"An aggregate 225,000 people bought tickets to see a [Coachella] roster headlined by Jay-Z, Muse and Gorillaz during the April 16-18 event at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio.The 2010 edition of Coachella actually began excactly one week ago today, and we already posted full picture sets from: DAY ONE, DAY TWO and DAY THREE. Now here is one last group that contains unposted outtakes from all three...
The previous attendance record was set in 2007, when the headliners included a reunited Rage Against the Machine. Final figures are still being tallied, but AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips said the gross will exceed $20 million.
Phillips said the future looked bleak for AEG Live's nascent All Points West festival, which took place in 2008 and 2009 across the Hudson River from lower Manhattan at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J.
"We're probably going to kill it," said Phillips. "As beautiful as (the site) is, it's very hard to get New Yorkers to cross that river. All Points West is an experiment that just didn't work." [Reuters]

Jay-Z, Beyonce & Johnny Rotten
This year, the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival reveals that tattoos are more ubiquitous among social scenes than ever before. A walking museum of quotes and legendary faces from Jesus to Michael Jackson decorates the backs, shoulders, calves and fingers of people fashionably reliving their favorite historical decades at this heat-stroke inducing music marathon.
I thought Wale didn't show up, but later found out that he showed up late. Baroness demonstrated the art of rocking out at least three to five times before each song reached a satisfied climax. Metal can be a real turn on, especially surrounded by sweaty good-looking people. Deer Tick performed an R+B version of "Ashamed" followed by John McCauley caressing his nipples. LA band Iglu and Hartly had enthusiasm, but is this Mickey Avalon without the drugs and prostitutes? Which leaves what? Sleigh Bells began with a booty melting bass line palpable from the VIP section across the field, soon overtaken by hipster hop metal pop for people that like beaches and children. The Avett Brothers made an exciting second Coachella appearance on the Outdoor Stage. Two years ago, the band played Sunday gospel time, all manners and simplicity, but the Bros returned with a full band, and a few thousand people singing every word, stomping to the banjo, and hugging during the sweet parts. The banjo will take over America. Just wait. Country music is infiltrating avant-garde and above ground indie worlds alike.
Standing midway between the big stages, just a few feet from yet another girl with the words "Have u seen my friend Molly?" scrawled on her back, the Avett Brothers' heart-wrenching "January Wedding" got a reggaeton remix from Calle 13 booming on the Main Stage. This Puerto Rican dancefloor marvel used a tea kettle for a mic effect, and taught the audience to say "No me jodas las pelotas" against negativity ("Don't fuck my balls"). Speaking of balls, Yeasayer's crowd went absolutely nuts screaming, but the guys barely seemed aware, transported as they were to some space station cloud. The harmonies rocked like angelic aliens-but, smile, guys. Hockey demonstrated a genuine interest in moving indie rock standards forward, especially attracting the PG-13 festival contingency. M. ward raspy singing "Roll Over Beethoven" during She & Him's set delivered tingly shivers, but Zooey Deschanel's approach to "I Put A Spell On You" did not crumble souls. Her jazzy voice and bouncy energy otherwise made for a good time that elicited repetitive shouts of "I Love You!" from the first row.
Gil Scott-Heron
Music should be at least marginally weird or infinitely classic, but Tom Morello's band, Street Sweeper Social Club, brings nothing new to either category and so seems a waste of great musicians. Get weird or the future will never arrive. That being said, the musicians Coachella digs up from history often present the most exciting moments. Rock steady ska pioneers The Specials sent a crispy, warm message to Rudy that every witness appreciated immensely, but it was outrageous that barely any photographers showed up for Gil Scott-Heron's smooth, soulful set [editor's note: ours did!]. The man is partly responsible for getting Martin Luther King, Jr. a holiday, godfathered hip hop, and that doesn't merit attention? A large crowd attended his every word, but the photos won't show it. Later on, James Murphy screamed Gil Scott-Heron's name during "Losing My Edge" as if it were the name of God. Glad he gets it. LCD Soundsystem's first single in 2002, "Losing My Edge" is a historical document worth preserving for the ages, an essence that speaks to what Coachella seems bent on capturing and rewriting every year. Echo & The Bunnymen rode the high-hat zealously-as many have copied since-giving chapped lips sugar kisses. Public Image, Ltd., could not take Jay-Z's audience away from him nor unglue Fever Ray fans from Karin Dreijer Andersson's encompassing fog spell, but I'll be damned if PiL wasn't the best show all day. John Lydon's hair stood on edge and he rolled his rrrr's heroically. His gang of old men put the good junk in post-punk.
As this first 12 hour music summary comes to a close, a few acts remain worth giving a hoot about. Grizzly Bear's hypnotic power hardly needs mentioning and Vampire Weekend knows you love "Horchata." New cool La Roux magnetizes with a disco flavor that Anita Ward might approve. As hoped, Little Dragon's gentle fire breathing soul pop fronted by Yukimi's sexy voice and adorable stage presence comes in as Friday's second favorite. The music's weird enough, bent on discovering surprises. One-woman band Imogen Heap, as well, is the queen of surprises. She moves around her instruments, looping this and dubbing that as if casually mixing a magic potion or prepping a sandwich. Jay-Z's "On To The Next One" is an appropriate theme song for the attention span needed to get your money's worth at Coachella. And then Beyonce came out. We all bowed down before her short shorts.
Them Crooked Vultures, Passion Pit, Dillinger Escape Plan, Yo Gabba Gabba, and The Whitest Boy Alive also played sets on Friday. The Cribs were among those who could not. Coachella continues for a second day today/Saturday (Record Store Day). More pictures and videos and stuff from the first day, below...

"The LCD Soundsystem show last night at Webster Hall was hands-down, one of the best live shows I've seen in years. Absolutely stupendous." - DJ Bunny Ears
"floor was literally shaking last night. I felt it and just stood still to see if my mind was playing tricks on me but the floor was taking me up and down on its own. and only the people in the front right were really jumping and dancing. if the entire venue was jumping and dancing i wonder how the floor would have moved." [Anonymous]If I wasn't having so much trouble keeping my eyes open right now, I would write more about how excellent last night's (4/12) Webster Hall show was. I might attempt to compare it more to the life-changing (don't get mad at me for being overly excited and slightly exaggerating) event that was Thursday's gig at Music Hall of Williamsburg, but let's just say that Webster Hall was also awesome, but different due to the band opening with the new song "Pow Wow" off the new leaked album that a less-drunk (which is a good or bad thing depending on your point of view) James Murphy begged the crowd not to leak (it leaked just a few hours earlier) from the stage. Pow Wow was one of three new songs they played, but the only one they were playing for the first time (they also played Drunk Girls and I Can Change at Music Hall). I almost didn't go to Webster Hall because I didn't want to be disappointed, but then I couldn't resist and I'm glad I did.
Next up for the band is Coachella followed by a tour and then three shows at Terminal 5 (I'm definitely going to at least one of those) (and then more touring). The setlist and more pictures from Webster Hall, below...

Modest Mouse playing Williamsburg Waterfront, the Pitchfork Festival (updated full lineup) & other tour dates
Modest Mouse @ Terminal 5 in March 2009 (more by Chris La Putt)
Modest Mouse will join Faith No More and Nas & Damian Marley (tickets) as one of the acts set to play at Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn this summer. Their Friday, July 23rd show will be ticketed/non-free (like the others mentioned). Tickets go on sale Friday at noon (which is when the just-added Faith no More show goes on sale too).
Modest Mouse's Brooklyn show is a week after they play the Pitchfork Festival which recently updated its lineup. New acts playing the Chicago fest include Big Boi, Major Lazer, Neon Indian, Beach House, Free Energy, Local Natives, Robyn & more. Check that out in full below. Single day tickets are still on sale.
UPDATE: Modest Mouse's Brooklyn show is one day after they play one in NJ.
Modest Mouse will be reissuing their third album, The Moon & Antarctica, on vinyl for its 10th anniversary, on Record Store Day - this Saturday, April 17th. "The album features restored original artwork and replicates the infinite lock groove found in the original vinyl pressings of 2000. The new vinyl reissue includes a download card for the album." All dates the the P4K Fest lineup, below...

"There's good news and bad news. The good news is we're here. The bad news is I'm wasted." James Murphy, who claimed to be swilling his "special drink" (champagne and whiskey) all night, kept trying to set the bar low for last night's LCD Soundsystem show at Music Hall of Williamsburg, the first the band has played in three years... a fact that he kept hammering into the crowd. "This is the longest we haven't played in the history of the band. It's not really a 'show,' it's a live rehearsal."
He was right, technically. Not only was it the live debut of new material from LCD's upcoming third album, This Is Happening, but also the first for the new six-piece (at times seven) version of the band, still anchored around the core of Murphy, keyboardist Nancy Whang and drummer Pat Mahoney. All of Murphy's hemming and hawing was for nought. This is contender for show of the year. LCD Soundsystem blew the lid off the joint for almost two hours.
The band mostly ignored the new album. "I made a conscious decision not to play too much of the new stuff in the early part of the tour," Murphy said. "I remember being a kid taking the train two hours just to hear 'This Charming Man' only to get 'Panic." (Of all the things to be jealous of, Murphy also saw the Smiths.) Instead we were treated to a cavalcade of hits including "Your City's a Sucker," "Tribulations," "All My Friends," "Losing My Edge," "Yeah," "Someone Great," and show-closer "New York, I Love You."
Only two new songs were played. The VU-meets-Bowie first single "Drunk Girls" and what will surely be the second single, "I Can Change" that is more Gary Numan or Eurythmics (you can hum "Love is a Stranger" to it). The latter was more successful, though I think "Drunk Girls" is gonna turn into a big summer single once people hear it spun in a club at maximum volume. I wish they'd have played a couple more tunes, especially the Roxy/Eno-ish rocker "All I Want" but we'll get those in time.
Seriously, no complaints at all. The crowd was going mental for the last half of the 90-plus minute set, especially during "Yeah" and "Someone Great." Maybe too mental. After an early attempt at a mosh pit, Murphy and Whang put the kybosh on such behavior. "If you're dancing and not within two people of a girl," Whang explained. "You're doing it wrong." Murphy added, "Dance up and down!" In addition to the crowd, the stage was packed on the side like a hip hop show, including Hot Chip's Al Doyle who was LCD's touring guitarist on previous excursions.
Murphy must've reminded us ten times that this was LCD's first show in ages and they were under-rehearsed. (Though I heard they used MHoW as a practice space all week.) But clearly New York had missed LCD Soundsystem. And they missed playing. Three years was definitely too long. But, thankfully, absolutely, they haven't lost their edge.
Editor's notes:
Light Asylum were a great opener and sounded booming on the Music Hall sound system. Bill said they're like a goth Yaz. I just wish they would showcase Shannon Funchess's frontwoman abilities more. She used to shine when she was on stage with !!!. She later joined LCD for a bit during "Someone Great", but mostly just in the background. Before she left the stage James gave her a great big bear hug.
Other LCD band members included Dave Stone, who as Murphy told the crowd, plays with the Melvins and many others, and Gavin Russom, who, as Murphy told us, can be found at gavinrussom.com.
Murphy pointed out that he was 40 years old "which means every show I saw had Fishbone opening". That was a nice intentional-or-not intro to "Losing my Edge".
The crowd really was moving all night. The closest thing to a mosh pit came during the punk rock "Movement", and there was a bit of a fight near the stage earlier in the night (I think because someone thought people were being too rowdy).
The lasers all over the walls and ceiling during "Yeah" were the coolest thing I ever saw visually happen at Music Hall.
Though the band took an encore break before "Someone Great", James announced before leaving the stage that it wasn't an "encore" because in NY aka home, we don't have encores. They're for "other places". Nancy moved from her keyboard to a piano for the show-closing "New York I Love You".
Definitely the show of the year (so far).
Stay tuned for the announcement that they're playing another one at Webster Hall on Monday (ANNOUNCED AND ON SALE). You can also catch them twice at Terminal 5 and at other places. More pictures and the full setlist from Music Hall below...

Ticketmaster is being screwy. Some people can get LCD Soundsystem tickets. Some can't. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why except that I think Ticketmaster screws up when they list a show a few minutes before it goes on sale. When a show gets listed it has to pass through their zillion identical servers and it isn't on all of them yet.
Tickets go on AmEx & "Fan Club" presale at 10am for the Hold Steady show at Beacon Theatre, and I agree, it's weird that they're playing a seated venue.
Tickets go on AmEx & 'Fan Club' presale at 10am for the acoustic Willie Nelson show at Grand Ballroom. This will probably be a seated show (Grand Ballroom can go either way).

Daft Punk's first album had helped refresh house music in the mid 1990s; the second went further, rewriting electronic pop's pleasure principles to such a degree that when it came out a lot of people thought Discovery must be a put-on. They took the joy in the record for irony. Rather, the band had simply plunged into the raw popstuff of their 70s childhoods, from AOR to disco, Buggles to Manilow, rock to robotics. They wanted their listeners to get the rush of context-free delight they had hearing music as kids, and on "Aerodynamic" and "Digital Love" they succeeded wildly, dissolving a decade-plus of dance music good taste. And not all of Discovery looked back. The middle of the album is house music as string theory, with the duo finding dimensions of pleasure coiled within the tiniest loops: "Crescendolls" releases an awesome, gleeful energy by repeatedly triggering one five-second sample.Daft Punk grabbed the #3 spot on Pitchfork's list of the Top 200 albums of the 2000s (now fully announced) (yesterday they were only up to #21). The top 20 are also listed below...
Discovery was simply the decade's best good-times record, with Daft Punk as pyramid-toting party wizards and the chipmunk Kraftwerk of "Harder Better Faster Stronger" their anthem. But this most celebratory of records has a bittersweet streak, too: Daft Punk know that a rush always carries the risk of exhaustion. Perhaps the album's most underappreciated track is the sad but gorgeous "Short Circuit", a three-minute robot graveyard of crumbled transistors and dying LEDs. But from Romanthony's first blissful, vocoded shout of "one more time!" the dominant emotion on Discovery is joy. A joy that wasn't afraid to be sentimental and funny as well as hard and futuristic, and is all the better for that. When a generation looks back and tries to catch a fuzzy hold of the music that made them happy this decade, Daft Punk's will be top of the list. --Tom Ewing [Pitchfork]

Picture: Kim Kardashian outside Coco De Ville nightclub in West Hollywood where her step brother Brody Jenner celebrated his birthday Los Angeles, California - 19.08.08
LATEST: Socialite Kim Kardashian has assured fans her recent hospitalisation for a foot injury will not halt her appearance on forthcoming U.S. reality TV show Dancing With The Stars.
Kardashian was reportedly admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday (24Aug08) night after slicing her foot on a glass coffee table in her hotel room.
But the star is determined to keep up with the gruelling rehearsals that lie ahead for the show, despite her bloody debacle.
She says: "You know what, I will be able to dance. I will make it. I did cut my foot pretty badly in the hotel room last night.
"There was a mirror on a Venetian little desk and it was all broken and I saw it and I almost cut my finger, so to push away from it I used my foot ... because it just looked really bad... So I did hurt myself but it was fine. I went to the hospital, I'm fine.
And Kardashian insists she's already bearing the pain on her road to recovery, adding: "I have to wear heels all day long today and if you saw my room - it looks like a murder scene with all the blood everywhere."
Kardashian is set for stiff competition on the show which is scheduled to air on U.S. TV on 22 September (08).
Her co-stars will include: singers Toni Braxton and Lance Bass, chef Rocco DiSpirito, U.S. Olympians Misty May-Treanor and Maurice Greene, actors Cody Linley, Cloris Leachman, Ted MCGinley and Susan Lucci, American footballer Warren Sapp, TV host Brooke Burke and Hollywood producer Jeffrey Ross.

5kinandbone5 recently launched its own label, Soo Wavey, with local DJ Vin Sol, that concentrates on more house-oriented releases. And Matrixxman recently released a jack-jam with another local DJ, Robert Jeffrey, called "Penis Power," that's been burning things up. As for the future of 5kinandbones and everything?
"The future/paradise as I see it would be a post-corporeal society in which we live freely as data and can inhabit disposable cyborg bodies at will. Gender and class will not be of any concern and we'll be traveling the far reaches of the galaxy in search of other intelligent life. Artificial intelligence will have emerged and present some interesting paradigm shifts. Cybersex will be utterly amazing and enter a new evolutionary era in how we touch each other as humans."
Probably there'll be pixies, and music, too.

Article Summary
According to the Associated Press, a recent study has revealed that three quarters of America's nuclear reactors have leaked radioactive tritium from buried pipes that transport water for the cooling of reactor vessels. This tritium could in turn find its way into the groundwater. While industry officials do reportedly check these pipes for leaks, they can only do so in either indirect or costly, labor-intensive manners. Now, however, researchers from MIT are developing tiny, spherical swimming robots that could check on the pipes directly, relaying their findings in real time.

I really enjoy 5th Avenue...it is so lovely and appropriate for almost any situation. I'm an RN and have to be very careful with fragrance at work (as I'm obviously quite close to patients, and don't want to make the already ill and/or infirm feel nauseated or offended by my scent), so I wear just the lotion on occasion and it's perfect. Bright, fresh and pretty.

I was given a small bottle of this as a gift by my bf's mother. I didn't like it at first, the scent smelled too old-ladyish on me. I think it is classy but I think it would suit someone older more (I'm 25). The packaging is boring, the scent is pretty average. Would not purchase this for myself or even give it to someone else. I'm glad my bottle is done with.

This is a fresh floral that reminds me of Hugo Boss "Woman". It smells ok on other ladies - very feminine with lilac, magnolia, linden blossom and muguet, but on me it smells like soap. Toilet soap. I do not detect any magnolia whatsoever when sprayed on me. This one's not for me unfortunately - it does not work well with my body chemistry - I ruin the fragrance. Also, it is a scent that is too fresh for my taste (I prefer orientals). I gave it away to a friend who loves it, and it smells good on her.
The thing I do like about this fragrance however, is the bottle, very classy and elegant.....

It's a very ladylike scent and most of my male friends like the scent too. But dont know why my female frens thinks the smell is too thick. I bought the 75ml but I stop using it after use it for not more than 1/3 as I feel bored about the scent, nothing special just an old fashion fragrance in a plain package. Not suitable for young girls. It's a very nice scent but I think my Anna Sui Secret Wish really suitable for me

I like floral scent perfumes. My signature perfume is CD J'adore. I like this scent and it has great staying power, but too much can be overpowering. However I dont find it to be a memorable scent that I desire, like J'adore.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure

This is a lovely scent and one that is perfect for any occasion as long as it is applied with the general caution that too much could be over-bearing (like anything). It is very special with it's floral ingredients and staying power. I think it is a fresher floral than most and is very sophisticated. If you like floral scents, give it a go!
Ingredients include;
a blend lilac, lily of the valley, mandarin, bergamot, linden blossom, violet, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, tuberose, nutmeg, clove, peach, iris, musk, vanilla, amber, sandalwood and magnolia.

It's a great scent. It is sophisticated and you can wear it for work or night time. I love it and received it as a gift.
As an aside, I've seen two posts so far that loved this product but accidently gave this product a rating of one lippie. Accidental or not, that makes the score on this product go down. Be careful on the ratings.

- Lee Warren McKnight added an answer:7What is the major reason for leaving the presentation and session layer in TCP/IP protocol suite?
I had a glance on OSI layer and TCP/IP layer. But still confusion remains of not using two layers (presentation and session)
The OSI v Internet technology and business model distinctions are historically interesting and significant, agreed. Both have roles and functions to play in both defining network abstractions in away other can understand, and specifying protocols for inter-operation of functional network capabilities, no doubt.
Given - present world - of heterogeneous networks combining network function virtualization/software defined network & hybrid cloud management/orchestration capabilities spanning the Internet of Things, I - admittedly not so humbly : ) - suggest it is past time for a new model.
Please see attached WiGiT v0.4 model, for the next - virtual, cross-network - wireless grid world for mobile clouds and the Internet of Things cognitively networked services - developed with support of National Science Foundation Division of Engineering, Industrial Innovation and Partnerships, Partnerships for Innovation Wireless Grid Innovation Testbed (WiGiT) project. and its over The Enterprise Cloud Leadership Council of TM Forum, IEEE and others contributed/offered feedback as well. Not quite ready for prime time as we are admittedly only at v0.3/v0.4.
I will be publishing several books in coming year which which further elaborate and which can permit all those willing to - create their own Heterogenous Networks for mobile clouds across wireless grids - do so readily, in sync with our model, and evolving open specs for wireless grid - networks.

- Gareth Tyson added an answer:1How do I model the services of IPTV?Service modelling for IPTV network.Hi vasanthi, I suppose it depends which aspects you wish to model. There have been many studies looking at IPTV (and VOD), which would probably be helpful. However, I guess you're more focused on user behaviour. I know of some studies that, for example, provide insight into channel popularity and channel hopping behaviour. This paper might be a good place to start, as it offers a user model for you: "Elaboration and Formal Description of IPTV User Models and Their Application to IPTV System Analysis" by Abdollahpouri et al.
Another couple of nice paper that gives you a measurement-driven overview are: "Analysis and Characterization of IPTV user behavior" by Yu et al; and "Measurement and Modeling of Video Watching Time for Internet Streaming Systems" by Chen et al.
If you are more interested in the distribution system itself, there are quite a few cool papers looking at this too. For example:
"P2P IPTV Measurement: A Comparison Study" by Silverston et al. and probably the most famous one: "A Measurement Study of a Large-Scale P2P IPTV System" by Hei et al. Hope this helps!Following

Additional profile information on Alfred Thompson at Google+
Those wonderful people who bring you Barbie (remember the version that said "Math is hard?") are collecting votes for Barbie's next career. There are five options up for the vote: Environmentalist, Surgeon, Architect, News Anchor, and Computer Engineer. My first reaction was "Great!" We can get little girls to think about becoming computer engineers at an early age. My second reaction was "how do the Barbie think a female computer engineer looks?" OK now there are some very attractive computer engineers out there. Did you see the picture of Google's Marissa Mayer in Glamour Magazine? She is a serious technical professional and better looking than Barbie. But she is not what most people think of when they think of a woman computer engineer. So what will Computer Engineer Barbie look like?
My first reaction is – glasses, pocket protector, jeans, t-shirt. The pocket protector idea really worries me. Or will it be some sort of business semi-casual? Copy Marissa's outfit from Glamour? Come on she doesn't dress like that on a regular basis. Though I did she that she Twittered that she does usually wear heels. That's good because from what I can tell Barbie doesn't do flats. What do you think they will do for Computer Engineer Barbie's wardrobe? What should they do?
No doubt they will outfit her with gadgets. I wonder if various smart phone makers will vie to have a miniature version of their phone for Barbie to carry? A netbook? For sure. MP3 player? Probably. An ebook reader? Maybe. I hope they set up her office with a triple screen LCD setup at least. And the printer should be cool looking. I wonder if they will have a miniature wi-fi access point? Maybe I'm getting silly now. Will she have a new printer? Hey, maybe she can have a miniature Microsoft Surface device. OK maybe not. What accessories does Computer Engineer Barbie need?
We need some opinions here from real women who are really computer engineers. What would a computer engineer Barbie look like that makes the field look real and good to little girls? Let's not leave this work to the toy company or we could see the growth in women in the field set back years!
This year being '10 has lead to a lot of talk about numbers that look like binary numbers 1/11/10 or 11110 for example. Related to this is talk about palindrome dates. For example with a leading zero 1/11/10 becomes 011110 which is the same backwards and forwards. Of course a purist might point out that the year is 2010 and ask "didn't you learn anything from the Y2K problem?" Or "real numbers don't have leading zeros!" But purism is less fun so I ignore those people. Well at least when playing with numbers for fun. But I was thinking a bit about palindrome numbers while driving the other day. Hey, it's safer than driving while Twittering. I started to think about writing code to count palindrome numbers. As I thought about how to get the computer to generate them I realized that the count could be easily calculated. Of course seeing myself as a programmer before a mathematician my mind went to a program before an algorithm. Silly probably but at least in my defense I worked on a couple of algorithms and thought things through a bit.
There are 19 two-digit palindrome numbers. There are 18 times 9 three-digit numbers. And so on. There is no need to write a program to count them. You can easily build an equation that calculates the number based on the number of digits. Go ahead do it. I'll wait. Anyone come back?
I think all of us have to be careful when we think about solving problems. We all have favorite tools that we like to use but they are not always the best for the job. Sure you can bank a board with a hammer and get it to the right length but it is not going to be pretty. Using a saw is better for some jobs. Likewise we can't always assume that the fast or best way to handle all mathematical tasks is a computer program or even a mathematical formula. For example while we can easily calculate the number of 5 digit palindrome numbers generating a list really calls for a program.
Of course there are easy and had ways to do that task as well. You could generate every five-digit number, run them through a method that checks to see if it is a palindrome and only print the numbers that pass the test. But that brute force way is pretty wasteful of time and resources. With a little thought you can come up with an algorithm that just generates and prints palindrome numbers with no waste. I'm leaving that to the student too.
I find that students look for the solution that is easiest to implement with little regard for performance. The AP CS curriculum teaches about performance calculations (emphasis on Big-O notation) but I wonder how much of it sinks in. How often do students apply that thinking to their own code? I suspect not as much as we'd all like. It's an important topic though. Yes computers are getting faster but problems are getting larger. Somewhere in every problem there is a cross over between the time it takes to develop a really efficient algorithm and how much time it saves in the end. Brute force solutions only work for small problems. This is of course one of the problems with assigning small problems or small data sets for student projects. Ultimately we have to create projects that are manageable for students but that also force them to conceder performance. Failing to do that is a disservice I think. What do you think?
BTW if you are interested in the math around Binary Palindromes check out Counting Binary and Hexadecimal Palindromes on the Exploring Binary blog.
The great thing about having the career and credentials that Bjarne Stroustrup has is that he can talk about the "Emperor's clothing" with out people saying "you don't know what you are talking about." So it was with interest that grew with each paragraph that I read his recent article in CACM. (What Should We Teach New Software Developers? Why?) One telling quote:
I see the mismatch between what universities produce and what industry needs as a threat to both the viability of CS and to the computing industry.
I see the mismatch between what universities produce and what industry needs as a threat to both the viability of CS and to the computing industry.
I have to agree. With a career that spans both industry and academia, Bjarne Stroustrup knows what he is talking about when he talks both of the needs of industry and the role that academics perceive for themselves. All to often people in computer science see two "stovepipes" – one for academics into pure research and one for industry into a trade education. Neither view is helpful in the long run. While there is no question that pure research is important if it doesn't find its way into production at some point its long term utility is seriously in question. Without improved tools, techniques and skill sets industry is doomed to high rates of project failure, unreliable software and a failure of computing to make the differences in the world that we all believe are possible.
The failure of many academic programs to train people who can successfully work on large important projects causes industry to lose faith in the educational process. On the other hand the failure of industry to look at research results and adopt good information means that opportunities for improvement in the process of software development. There is blame to go around. And credit as well. But the need for more communication and cooperation is clear.

Long lasting chew toy
posted 6 years ago
My dogs are all chewers, and love to chew on things. So I needed safe toys for them to chew on, that won't hurt them, or make them choke, and the nylabone is great for this. Long lasting, and my dogs seem to enjoy them. They come in a variety of sizes and flavors too. And they keep them busy on a "safe" chew toy.
Pros: great for dogs that love to chew
Cons: none

I have not been able to get the normal thyroid tablets I take from another supplier, but found this one to be just as good. It has tested well with me and proved to be a great thyroid function support. The directions for one tablet twice a day were spot on and will be buying this again.
