Want to impress your guests at your next backyard BBQ? Chef Adam Perry Lang of New York's Daisy Mae's BBQ USA offers his recipe for "grilled, not smoked" baby back ribs. Not to be outdone, chef Kevin Roberts of San Diego's East Village Tavern & Bowl gives his recipe for "West Coast wings." Make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand!
- 1 4-pound bag of frozen or fresh chicken wings ( try to get a combo of both wings and drumettes)
- 1/4 stick butter, melted
- 1 cup cayenne pepper sauce, divided into 1/2 cup each for wings and sauce
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Baking Directions:
Boil the wings in a large pot for 10 minutes. Drain water and excess fat from wings when done. Grill wings on barbecue until crispy. In a large bowl, add the butter and melt in microwave. Add the cayenne pepper sauce and mix well. When wings are nice and crispy, add them to the bowl and coat them well. Tavern-style sauce: Here's my barbecue twist to the sauce that we serve at my urban sports bar and bowling alley: East Village Tavern & Bowl in San Diego, Calif.Add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce to the 1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce and mix well. Then mix the wings in the Tavern sauce. Recipe Copyrighted by Kevin Roberts, The Food Dude, Munchies Cookbook, Storey Publishing 2004.
Spice rub
- 1/2 cup chili powder
- 1/2 cup sweet paprika
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tsp cayenne powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 racks baby back ribs (approx 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. each)
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup apple juice
Finishing sauce
- 1 cup favorite BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
Baking Directions:
First, combine ingredients of spice rub. Moisten ribs lightly with water and coat entirely with rub. Allow to sit in refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour or a maximum of 3 hours.Preheat grill to medium. Grill ribs for 10 minutes on each side and remove. Place each rib in a double sheet of aluminum foil and evenly distribute honey, butter and apple juice to each. Seal tightly.Heat grill on one side so that when covered, grill temp remains at 300-325 degrees (alternatively, if you do not have temperature control on your grill, with no shame, utilize a preheated oven, but place all on a cookie sheet tray).Cook ribs for 2 hours, remove and allow to rest in foil for ½ hour. Remove from foil and direct grill over low setting for 15 minutes on each side, constantly basting with finishing sauce.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. --The Providence College volleyball team (1-6) fell to Loyola Greyhounds (4-2) in five sets (22-25, 20-25, 25-23, 25-23, and 11-15) in the Duquesne/Robert Morris Invitational on Friday, August 31. The Friars dropped the first two sets, rallied to force a fifth, but failed to complete the comeback.
The Friars trailed in the first 16-9 before starting a furious comeback to trail by one at 23-22 but could not get any closer, losing 25-22. Senior Cassie Muzzonigro (Gibsonia, Pa.) led the set with seven digs while freshman Jordan Wiesler (Coconut Creek, Fla.) led all players with 11 assists. The second set, won by Loyola 25-20, saw the Friars hold a one point through the first half of the set before Loyola went on a run to pull away from the Friars.
In the third set, the Friars trailed late, 21-18, but would go on to score seven of the final nine points of the set, defeating Loyola 25-23. Muzzonigro and sophomore Kelly Ashmore (St. Louis, Mo.) both had six digs in the set to lead all players. The fourth set featured a similar comeback, with the Friars trailing 20-18, they again came back to take the set 25-23. Sophomore Colleen McCollom (Indian Head Park, Ill.) recorded the final two kills for the Friars in the set, giving her seven in the fourth set to lead both teams.
In the final set, the Friars last lead stood at 10-9, before Loyola pulled away with the set and the match, winning 15-11. For the match, McCollom garnered a double-double notching 11 digs and a team-high 18 kills, while classmate Anna Russian (Round Rock, Texas) posted nine kills. Wiesler earned a double-double with 39 assists and 11 digs, while Muzzonigro led all players with 21 digs. Ashmore would end the match with 18 digs and classmate Beth Hoyt (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) collected 10 digs.
On Saturday, September 1, the Friars are slated to play at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. versus Norfolk State and co-host Robert Morris, respectfully. The Friars last played Norfolk State in 2010 during the Norfolk State Tournament and suffered a 3-1 loss.
Providence will play its first match at home this season on Sunday, October 7 versus America East foe Stony Brook. This match will mark the first athletic event played in the renovated Mullaney Gymnasium in Alumni Hall.

I've been rumaging arount this site a bit, read reviews of The Village Baker etc. I too, am trying to go back in time - pre Fleishmann's (1860's). Before instant and dry active yeast. I work with my own yeast cultures, but trust me, if something goes wrong, out comes the active dry. It is a wonderful failback.
I make live, cask conditioned, export bitter ales (extra, special, and best). IPA is an export based on either session or ordinary bitter. I grind my own grain, step mash, and dry hop. In this, some of my methods go back to the 18th century (before Louis Pasteure discovered the role of yeast). The same biases show up in my bread making - which is why I try to get all of my baking yeast from poolish. It also means that I fool around with recipies so as to jetison the dependence on modern (the last 150 years) yeast sources.
The really odd thing is, that I avoid a lot of the difficulties I read about on this site. The sponge setting step has a very elastic time scale (6 to 60 hours) - at least the way I go about it. However, once the dough process starts, the assembly line timing takes over until it comes out of the oven. This is very similar to when the strike contacts the grist in the making of beer. The 6 hour process ending with "pitching the yeast" is "in charge" of my life.
A note in passing. I just finished baking a couple of loaves of Italian from yeast culture poolish last night. One loaf has already evaporated (before noon today). I have a very small oven - 1/2 sized convection with stone - 2 loaves max. It would be nice to have a double stack, baker's depth, but then there would be no room for us to live here.
I very much appreciate the efforts made by the members of this forum, both failures and the successes. I really enjoyed "High Altitude Bricks". So many wonderful breads, so little time :-) I hope to try them all.
If anyone has questions about yeast, ask me. If I don't know, I know people who do - and I enjoy the research. Consider me your local zymurgist. Meanwhile, I'll keep plagerizing (the sincerest form of flatery) your recipies and methods.
I'm having problems with the milk bread recipe from Yippee. I don't know just how to convert the grams, etc. into ounces, pounds or cups. Please help as I have a couple of recipes I would like to try but am not sure of the amount of ingredients.
Here are some of my recent loaves: This weekend I had a go at a Pain Meunier ("Miller's bread"), which is a great tasting wheat loaf. Apparently, this kind of bread was invented by boulangers as a way to thank their millers for reliable flour and grains. The whole wheat kernel is used in these recipes; in addition to wheat flours, cracked wheat, wheat germ and wheat bran are often added. The result is a wonderful, nutritious wheat loaf, with an appealing golden colour.
I used the overall recipe from Suas' ABAP as my jumping off point, added some more whole wheat flour, increased the hydration slightly, and tweaked it so that I could use my firm, white starter for the loaf. A very nice everyday wheat loaf!
I've also had great success with turning this dough into rustic wheat baguettes, but then I've opted for a poolish instead of a firm starter as the preferment. This dough yields baguettes with a crisp crust and a full wheaty flavour. Recommended.
The next loaf is the whole grain loaf from the same book. My first go at this formula, so you can see from the photo below that I was slightly "optimistic" in scoring the loaf... The oven spring wasn't exactly tremendous, so the cuts just barely opened up, but the loaf held its profile very well during the bake. I guess a thorough mix followed by gentle shaping is the way to go with loaves like this.
The formula calls for a whole wheat levain, so the only white flour comes from the stiff starter used to seed the levain. The rest is a mix of whole wheat flour, rye meal, medium rye flour and a soaker of flax, sesame, sunflower seeds and rolled oats. I just had a slice with some chèvre and one with herring, and I found both to be "most agreeable" (i.e. "great"). The dominating taste in this loaf for me, is the soaker combined with a certain spicyness that I'll ascribe to the rye meal.
Yesterday I baked two Gibassiers - a flat bread from the Luberon region of France. The dough is rich, made up of milk, eggs, olive oil, butter, orange blossom water (I couldn't find any, so I used Cointreau instead - perhaps making this the "grown up version" of the Gibassier?), candied orange peel and anise seeds. Mixing this kind of dough is pretty labour intensive, as it should have a good windowpane before mixing is over, and sugar and butter need to be added late in the mixing process to not inhibit gluten formation.
To be perfectly honest, I was slightly disappointed by the resulting loaves. Don't get me wrong: The taste was remarkabe, the crumb was velvety soft and delicate and the kitchen filled up with the most pleasing orange scent. It was just that, at every second bite, I was a bit reminded by my favourite scone recipe... And that's something one pulls from the oven about 30 minutes after mixing has begun - the Gibassier is made with an overnight sponge and needs to see some pretty intense mixing. Of course, a scone can never compete in terms of crumb texture, keeping qualities or the full taste complexity of the Gibassier, but I'm still undecided whether the end result is fully worth it. Well, it certainly is if you want to bake something special for a celebration or a holiday, but perhaps not as a mid-week treat... Let's leave it at that for now. I'll probably change my mind the next time I make them ;)
I am a retired engineer, a baker of bread, and brewer of beer. This blurb is narrowly focused on what I have learned about the setting of sponge for the baking of bread (updated 6.May.09).
I have a very large supply of Saccharomyces cerevisia, the species of yeast used for baking. It is a by product of my brewing of ales. I cannot match the expertise and baking skills I have observed on this forum; but, I can contribute in this fairly narrow aspect.
The strain of S cerevisia is of little importance in baking. If it did, nobody would use instant or active dry yeast. Many students can attest, beer from these sources is not good. The bread turns out fine.
Stainless has no practical effect on yeast fermentation. Stainless steel is the rule for the construction of fermentation vats by both brewers and vintners. Yeast acidify their environment only slightly.
Oils and iodine (as in most table salt) are poisonous to yeast.. Small amounts MgSO4 (Epsom) & CaSO4 (Gypsum) cause no problems. Adding salts, is generally, a very bad idea.
Flour is a second rate food for yeast, they have to be starved into eating it (aclimate). Malt extract (malt liquor) is the finest yeast food. For baking, I recommend a dry malt extract - less than $5 / lb; almost a lifetime supply and it stores in anything airtight.
My understanding is that sponges differ from starters in that yeast propagation is not done with flour. Starters, quickly, get contaminated with wild yeast, molds, and bacteria - most commonly lactobaccilus which creates the sour dough effect. Maintaining a pure yeast culture is beyond the scope of this writing (at the moment). Good sanitary practices can maintain cultures for well over a year.
--- How I do it.
The objective of the following method is to impart a rich, full, and complex flavor to the dough without making it sweet. This is done by the maltose and dexidrines from the malt extract. It is more subtle than what occurs with sucrose, glucose, and fructose. The timing and measures are incredibly sloppy. Yeast can be very forgiving, if treated right. Minimize mechanical shock, thermal shock, light, and invadeing microorganisms.
I make as much sponge as possible. I put all off the dough's water requirement into my sponge.
Step 1 - Sanitize everything. Bleach water once, rinse twice. 1 capfull of bleach to a gallon of water.
Step 2 - Make lots of healthy, happy, well fed, yeast. Combine the water and at least 1 Tbs of malt extract powder for each 6 oz of water into a gallon jug. Temperature should be 75 ~ 85 F. Shake violently for a minute or so, to release the chlorine and to add oxygen (aerate). Decant into a bowl that holds twice the amount of water. I sort of add about 1 Tbs of yeast culture for each cup of water. It doesn't really matter as this is a propogation step, not a fermentation step. Cover and rest for 15 minutes to a couple of hours. The yeast will begin to reproduce very quickly. This is not fermentation, which is an anerobic process. Don't peek - at least not much. The longer this is left, the less maltose will remain and there will be more yeast to feed. You can add more malt extract at any time. The yeast are not as fussy about malt extract feeding schedules as they are about flour feeding schedules.
If using another source of yeast - split the water and follow the package directions. Add the malt powder, etc to the remainder. The source of the S cerevesia (yeast) is completly unimportant.
Step 3 - Make the sponge In a vessel, at least 4 times the amount of water (note: I use a small 2 gallon stainless steel pot with lid). Combine 1 cup of flour for each 12 oz of water - a very thin batter.
Step 4 - Set the sponge. Cover and keep warm 70 - 75 F for at least 6 hours. It can be kept for a couple of days without problems. If all goes well, the sponge will tripple in volume, and it will not separate. A fully set sponge will look uniformly bubbly and be very sticky.
Last night I went to an event labelled "Artisan Bread" at the local grange, choosing this over an evening with Elizabeth George and a popular gardening writer. Imagine my disappointment when the "Artisan Bread" turned out to be the good old No Knead Bread! Especially when the speaker put her dough into a cold Pyrex casserole and assured us that it would not stick. In fact she had to cut it out of the bowl in chunks. The good news in all of this is that the room was packed and people got really excited at the thought of making bread themselves. I know that reading about and trying the No Knead method is what got me into this obsession and I can only hope that many of the people there will also become addicted, A.
I am fairly new to bread baking and have tried a few methods of creating steam in my oven at bake time with varying success (mostly not) I have seen a steam oven but am not sure wether it will do the job. It is an AEG B9820. Does anyone out there have one of these ovens? Is it suitable steam baking etc? Any advice etc would be appreciated.
Little Yippees have had all these sandwich breads that I've been testing for weeks. They are begging for a change. Here it is, something different on the table for breakfast:
This is a very tasty bread with a light crumb and nice crunch from the soaked seeds. I would make it again. In spite of the German rye sourdough incorporated in it, which was very sour tasting, I don't really taste any sour. It is a lovely, soft sandwich-type bread with only a hint of rye flavor. I can't imagine anyone, including children, disliking it. There are a number of errors in the recipe. I have pointed those out below, and indicated my experience when making this recipe in case someone else wants to try it.
This sunflower-crusted rye gets great chew from the flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds inside. Flax isn't familiar to most people, but it is one of my favorite bread-baking ingredients. The glossy, tiny golden brown seeds have a wonderful sweet nuttiness. Until I saw this bread at Tobias Maurer's bakery in Stuttgart, I wouldn't have believed it was possible to put so many seeds into one loaf. I had seen how an abundance of seeds can draw moisture from dough, drying out the bread as it bakes. Tobias showed me how an overnight soak softens the seeds, turning them into a gelatinous mass that does the opposite, moistening the dough as it bakes (Local Breads, p. 282).
From Leader's Local Breads:
50 g German rye sourdough
28 g flax seeds
28 g raw, white sesame seeds
28 g raw sunflower seeds
525 g water* (I will probably either reduce the water by 50 g the next time I make the bread)
5 g instant yeast
300 g unbleached bread flour (I used KA Bread flour)
200 g whole grain rye flour (I ground my own)
10 g salt
Topping: 28 g raw sunflower seeds
Soak seeds, except topping, in 175 g water and make German rye sourdough 12 to 24 hours before mixing dough. (I did not find that these formed a gelatinous mass after soaking overnight, but whatever they formed seemed to work perfectly.)
On baking day: Pour remaining 350 g water in mixer bowl and stir in yeast, soaked seeds, bread flour, rye flour, salt, and German rye sourdough. Using the dough hook, knead the dough on speed 2 for 8 minutes, let rest in bowl for 10 minutes, resume kneading for another 8 minutes. I had to incorporate a substantial amount of extra bread flour during the final kneading time owing perhaps to errors in the amount of water* specified in Leader's recipe, which is different in the ingredients column than in the text.
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled container with a lid and let rise until double, about 2 hours.
Divide the dough in half, shape, and place in two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pans. (I got two, 1-1/2 pound loaves out of the recipe, but Leader indicates there would be two 17 ounce loaves.) Mist the loaves with water or brush with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining sunflower seeds. Cover loosely and let proof for about an hour until nearly double (mine were doming the pans).
Preheat the oven to 400º twenty minutes before baking and place the oven rack at the lower middle position.
Bake the loaves for about 35 minutes. (I got a lot of oven spring.)
German rye-sourdough: mix 50 g liquid levain, 100 g water, and 75 g rye flour. Let stand at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. It is ready when it has doubled and tastes very tangy. It is alright to use if it has deflated (this was the case with me). This makes more sourdough than you need. According to the recipe, you can store the unused portion in the fridge until you are ready to use it again.
I have some bread recipes that I am trying to "fix". Whole wheat, multigrain and white sandwich loaf recipes specifically. They currently yield very airy, light loaves. This may please some but I am interested in chewy, relatively dense loaves with buttery crusts. The current recipies produce crusts that are light and tear easily.. I am looking for more "chew" than "tear". Any suggestions? Do I need to type the recipe or does something jump to mind that I need to adjust, ie more sugar, more oil, more proofing time?
Many thanks!
I completed a batch of Leader's Sourdough Croissants from Local Breads today. I used the metric weights and had no problem with the recipe; everything seemed to be correct as written. I baked one tray at the recommended 350º for 18 minutes but thought they weren't browning enough, so upped the temperature to 375º for the remainder.
They baked up fine--light, flakey and layered--, but have almost no flavor, being neither sour, nor sweet, nor buttery, nor anything else. I knew something was wrong when I couldn't smell anything when they were baking. What a disappointment! It's almost like the levain canceled out the flavor of the dough. I've tried at least 6 different croissant recipes over my lifetime and all have come out well except this one. I think they are destined for the trash.
If anyone has had experience with this recipe or has an idea as to their lack of flavor, please let me know.

It's just spam.
I'm hitting the report button.
People like you can't be allowed to get away with spamming topics.
Just because you believe a demo won't come out, doesn't mean it won't.
Games take time and anyone who appreciates a good game, has patience.
Anyone else who actually wants to play this game has been patient and are waiting.
No matter how long it takes, be it a few months or years before a demo comes out, we can wait.
If you can't, then don't bother posting, it's just spam and you aren't helping or contributing to the thread at all.
Out of curiosity, even though there was barely some minor changes storyline-wise when it came to HG/SS, is Acanthite considered a prequel to the originals or the remakes now?
No offense, but sit down, and zip it, fanboy.
Just to let you know, expressing an opinion that you disagree with isn't "spam." Everyone fapping out one-liners to some of the recent designs that have been posted is okay though, right? Yeah... I thought so. Fangking is a big boy; he doesn't need you policing this thread, and shouting at strangers. And by the way, it isn't your job to decide what "spam" is. I have a right to post what I want, where I want, and what I posted was perfectly acceptable and valid.
The main point I want to make is that there have been many promises, so I, myself, am not optimistic about the possibility of a demo. Would I still like one? Yes. Do I understand that a fan project is just that, a project made by fans in their free time for fun. Yes. Because I'm not stupid. So, thank you for taking the time to state the obvious, but it's cool. I commend you though... for not "allowing" me to "get away with" my "spamming." You're acting like I killed a fluffy kitty cat, simply because I expressed doubt about the future of the demo. And by the way, there isn't any reason why I
be doubtful about the future of the demo.
That doesn't mean that I'm disrespecting the people who have worked on the project at all. If anything, I, like many, am simply exasperated by how long I have wanted to play. And that's not an unfair feeling to have. I would also like to point out that the next time I would like advice about whether what I am posting is acceptable, or if I should, I will let you know. Until then, please mind your own business and get off your very high horse.

We're aware of past failure, hindered further by having used three different engines and the changes forcing restarts, which is why the structures are now in place to generate productivity. Get over yourself.
I don't have aversion to the project, and am free to view, and post in the thread til the cows come home. I don't have anything to get over, really. Caaaalm down.
Seriously, is the only acceptable thing I can post in this thread, according to you, some sort of blind praise for... what?

Product Reviews
For the most part I am satisfied. It arrived sooner than I expected which is always great. My daughter loved it, the Corythosaurus is her favorite dino and she LOVES Dino Dan as well. The main problem I have, and it happens to be the main reason I purchased this item instead of any other Corythosaurus', is that this product promised a Dino Dan DVD and when the product arrived, there was no such DVD with it. If the DVD had came with it as promised, I would have given this product a much better review. However, I am pretty angry that I was deceived and did not receive what the description promised. I intend to seek compensation for the missing DVD.
- How accurate was the sizing? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality was moderate.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? 1 of the legs was a little loose, leaving a bit of a gap between the body and the thigh.

Charitable Remainder Unitrusts
With a charitable remainder trust, the donor makes a gift to Amherst College, receives an income tax deduction in the year of the gift, and the College provides quarterly payments to the donor and/or another beneficiary for life, or for a specified period of time.
Gifts can be cash, securities, real estate, or other assets. The minimum initial gift amount is $100,000.
When you contribute highly appreciated assets (such as stocks or real estate) to your trust, Amherst can sell them without paying capital gains and put all of the proceeds to work for you.
Amherst College charitable trusts are usually written to payout 5% or 6% of the market value annually, in quarterly installments.
Most Amherst trusts are innvested in units of the endowment. As a result, these trusts receive the same market returns as the endowment. Donors and beneficiaries benefit from access to the investment expertise of the College's endowment managers, and receive annual income based on the trust's yearly market value.
Donors can also make additions to their trust for any amount and at any point after it is established.

Marvell (MRVL -3.5%) is adding to the 11% decline it saw yesterday after Pittsburgh jury awarded Carnegie Mellon $1.17B in damages in a patent infringement suit against the chipmaker. Likely playing a role is a downgrade to Market Perform from JMP: the firm is worried about the impact of the verdict on Marvell's balance sheet, notes other lawsuits also exist, and (unsurprisingly) says checks indicate PC demand is soft.

DETROIT (AP) - Drivers who haul vehicles from auto assembly plants to dealers have taken a strike vote.
A walkout by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents about 12,200 drivers and related workers, could quickly curtail U.S. new vehicle production and possibly dampen what promises to be a record sales year.
"Everyone would have a problem," Ford Motor Co. president Jac Nasser said today. Nasser said his company was keeping in close contact with the Teamsters and the car haulers.
Votes on whether to authorize a strike were held last week and results were expected later today. The current contract with trucking companies that haul the vehicles expires May 31.
The union wants enhanced job security, higher wages and better retirement benefits.
With 1999 car and truck sales already up 8.9 percent through April, and the traditionally strong summer selling season still ahead, a prolonged strike could be a devastating setback.
"There's no way we could get cars or trucks out of the plants," said Lou Stanford, owner of Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor and Varsity Lincoln Mercury in Novi. "The last time it happened, we sat and sucked our thumbs until we could get cars."
General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., DaimlerChrysler AG and other automakers already are preparing alternative plans in case of a walkout by workers who deliver vehicles to showrooms and used-car auctions.
"We may ask our dealers to use their own trucks and drivers in case of a strike," DaimlerChrysler spokesman Dan Moore said.
The negotiations are the first big test at the bargaining table for new Teamsters chief James P. Hoffa, who assumed control of the union and its 1.4 million members last month.
In the past, the union has struck just one car hauler.
In 1995, the union waged a 32-day strike against Ryder System Inc.'s auto transport subsidiary, idling 500,000 cars and trucks at assembly plants, depots and ports.
Allied Holdings Inc. bought Ryder's car-hauling unit in 1997 and now controls about two-thirds of the U.S. market. It operates about 5,200 car- and truck-hauling rigs from 120 terminals in the United States and Canada.

The Birthday of the World: And Other Stories
by Ursula K. Le Guin
34 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
Collection of novellas, from the master herself
March 6 2004
This review is from:
The Birthday of the World: And Other Stories (Paperback)
I am ashamed to say I discovered Ursula K LeGuin (UKL) only a couple of years ago. But I am happy to say that she's been my favorite or near-favorite author ever since.
For her humanity. For her vision. And for being able to create recognizably human, oh-so-familiar situations and moods, in completely alien settings.
For understanding human suffering, oppression, love and cruelty, and the quest for freedom and for happiness.
And for understanding what it means to be alien. I know. I'm South Asian and I've lived in the West. I'm secular and have lived in a deeply religious part of my country. How does Ursula know?
"Birthday" has been reviewed by far more capable pens than mine; Margaret Atwood wrote a review in "New York Review of Books", you might still find that on the Internet. So maybe it's presumptuous of me, but I'll go ahead and say how I felt about this collection.
There's a chatty, personal preface, fun to read. The most memorable part of the book, to me, was the part in this preface where UKL rebuts a critic who suggested that slavery is not a subject worth writing about. UKL asks mildly: I wonder which planet he comes from?
Two of the stories ("Coming of Age in Karhide" and "Old Music and the Slave Women") take place on cultures created in previous novels.
"Karhide" describes the first "kemmer" of a young person, on the sexless/bisex planet Karhide, where our old friend Gentry Li the black Terran had had his adventures so many years ago in "Left Hand of Darkness." It reads a bit like the teenage pains of boysgirls in any earth culture. Except that you get to look inside a "kemmerhouse" and witness the first sex of these people. I would categorize this story as "fun."
My favorite was "Old Music", which is a fifth installment in the "story suite" set in Werel, the planet from the extraordinary book "Four Ways to Forgiveness." The setting is during the uprising of the slaves and lower-castes of Werel, as the owned challenge the owners.
The Ekumen diplomat called Old Music gets captured by the masters' side, is tortured on a plantation, and interacts with slave women for the first time. The uprising is shown as a messy business with random violence galore. Realistic and sad, but still full of hope.
I liked Old Music, a middle-aged diplomat with nothing but his witty tongue to serve him in danger, so humane, full of belief that the slaves will be free. The Ekumen are probably LeGuin's idea of a ideal people, unobtrusive, moral, egalitarian. I love her vision and wish I could share her hope.
"The matter of Seggri" is told from multiple viewpoints, describing the social structure of a people with massively skewed female-to-male ratio. In "Solitude", an Ekumen mother uses her children to learn about a culture of people living in the ruins of a Fallen civilization. Her daughter ends up feeling more a member of this society, learning their ways of solitude and silence, and deciding to spend her life in this culture.
In both "Seggri" and "Solitude", the men live rather cruel lives. Both are innovative descriptions of imaginary cultures, and I enjoyed reading them.
There are two stories describing Morning-Evening people and their complicated marriages, and one describing how the beliefs of a World fell apart with the arrival of aliens. I did not like these three stories so much.
Finally, "Paradises Lost" is a novelette following an inter-generation space-ship, where a sect arises with the belief that their journey is eternal rather than having the goal of settling a new planet. This is excellent writing, with the utterly believable creation of an irrational religion, superstitions interfering with realpolitik, and the happysad description of settling in an alien world.
"Birthday of the World" is required reading for Leguin fans. For newcomers, this collection may be a good entry point to her work. Enjoy!
Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell

Funny, chatty, physical. QFT education transformed!!
March 6 2004
This review is from:
Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell (Hardcover)
This Quantum Field Theory text stands apart from others in so many ways that it's difficult to list them all :-). A very unique QFT introductory text.
One problem with learning QFT is that it is so easy to get lost in the mathematical details that the core physics concepts often get obscured.
In my opinion, Tony Zee overcomes this particular problem quite successfully. He keeps algebra to a bare minimum, and tries to find the shortest route to the physics ideas. He chooses examples that illustrate concepts in the fastest possible way.
The chapters are short. So refreshing! Each chapter has one or two core ideas. You can go through one in ten minutes (glossing over the math), and then you go back and do the math.
Part I (first eighty or so pages) is called "Motivation and Foundation" and is a rapid introduction to QFT. It is also a summary and sweeping overview --- introducing path integrals and Feynman diagrams and making a very intuitive transition from Quantum mechanics to Field theory.
The next three parts cover spin-1/2 particles (Dirac spinors), renormalization, and symmetry (breaking), standard fare for QFT texts. A sampling of condensed-matter applications is given in Parts V & VI, and then current high-energy topics are treated in parts VII & VIII.
The applications make this text stand out. There is a selection of advanced current topics like the quantum hall physics, surface growth, string theory, D-branes and quantum garavity, not usually found in introductory field theory texts. Of course none of these topics can be done justice in a book at this level, but getting a taste of advanced issues is a great treat.
The exposition is breezy and chatty, as the author admits was his intention. The text is never boring to read, and is at times very, very funny. Puns and jokes abound, as do anecdotes involving the inventors of QFT.
Renormalization is discussed through a lively dialog between student Confusio, a female Smart Experimentalist (SE), and a senior (Egghead) theorist. Ode to Galileo! Section headings alternate between serious and hilarious --- one section is called "Wisdom of the son-in-law". The path integral formulation of quantum mechanics comes out of a conversation between a teacher and a "wise-guy" student, who happens to be Feynman.
And so on and so forth.
The net result is a book which is much easier, and more fun, to read than any of the other common QFT books out there. Tony Zee's skills as a popular physics writer have been used to excellent effect in writing this textbook.
One more distinctive feature is that there is equal emphasis on condensed-matter and high-energy applications. Most QFT texts today, unfortunately, are so biased toward particle-physics that they tend to put off condensed-matter students. A. Zee has broken the mold!
Is the treatment "over"-simplified? Maybe simplified, but not dumbed-down. The high concept-to-pain ratio certainly seems worth the simplification.
Is this text only good as a supplement? Well, it is after all a "Nutshell", so maybe other texts are better for details. But as an introduction to QFT concepts, few other books match this.
Wholeheartedly recommended.
Brick Lane: A Novel
by Monica Ali
53 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
An immigrant's tale. Beautiful and tragic.
Feb. 6 2004
This review is from:
Brick Lane: A Novel (Hardcover)
I am from Bangladesh, and have lived in the West for some years. Although Westernized in many ways, I am acutely aware of the experience of being brown and Asian in the West. Monica Ali's "Brick Lane" touches me in multiple ways.
"Brick Lane" is unique. There are many novels centered on Bengali housewives; unfortunately most are in Bengali and not translated. The number of novels with Bangladeshi women as protagonists is smaller. Novels dealing with Bangladeshi immigrant women are very rare --- Ms Ali is exploring new ground here. And she does it so touchingly, with such attention to detail and nuances.
The novel is about Nazneen, born in a Bangladeshi village and married off to an older man who is an immigrant in England. Nazneen moves to England, submits herself to fate as she has been taught to, bears life and children and her husband's stupidities, and watches her daughter grow Westernized. Eventually, she surprises herself by her own initiative, taking a lover and deciding not to return to Bangladesh with her husband.
Other than Nazneen, the main characters are her husband Chanu, and her sister Hasina whom we meet through her letters to Nazneen written over the years. We also meet several other immigrant Bangladeshi characters living in Brick Lane, and get flashbacks of Nazneen's life in Bangladesh.
Through Hasina's sporadic letters to Nazneen, which take up significant parts of the book, we follow the life of an unmarried lower-class woman in Bangladesh. Hasina, unlike Nazneen, chooses her own path in life and elopes as a teenager, but her husband leaves her and she suffers through a series of ordeals. Her life story is probably realistic and reflects the lives of the many poor rural women in Bangladesh who have moved to the cities in recent years, forced to be independent in a patriarchial society that resists women's independence.
Like other reviewers, I was annoyed by the author's choice to transcribe Hasina's letters in broken English. This is the only major complaint I have about the book.
The characterization of Nazneen's husband, Chanu, is masterly. Chanu is an educated but completely impractical person. A complete failure in British life, he toils away as a clerk hoping that his culture & worth will someday be appreciated. He borrows money and leaves his wife to deal with the usurer. He appreciates the wrong people, and is completely unable to deal with his daughter's rebellion.
Perhaps even more paradigmic is Chanu's pompous behavior with his wife. The Bengali male, it has been said, is a great loser in life and a fearless lion in dealing with his subservient wife.
Chanu actually thinks of himself as a liberated man, whose wife has complete freedom in theory. In practice, unfortunately, Nazneen does not get to taste any of these freedoms (such as learning the local language English). The reason is that "she does not need them", as Chanu assures her, and also because it is unnecessary to evoke gossip in the immigrant community.
Chanu's laziness, his readings in impractical subjects, reminds me of my brother :-) And his complete inability to actually listen to anything Nazneen says, reminds me of my father's treatment of my mom. In return, Nazneen's response to Chanu, her near-complete acceptance and sporadic rebellions, reminds me of my mom and some aunts.
As for the other characters, Nazneen's friend Razia is drawn beautifully, a strong woman who decides to Westernize herself, and keeps her enormous humor and sarcasm intact through the adversities of immigrant life. I liked her imitation of pompous people, a very Bengali kind of humor.
A minor character particularly attracted me, Nazneen's aunt Mumtaz, seen almost entirely in flashbacks. Quietly strong, in a manner peculiar to some Bengali rural women. I have an aunt like that.
The writing is, for the most part, low-keyed and subdued. This style seems fitting, as it reflects Nazneen's accepting, compromising attitude to life. Sometimes quietly funny, and sometimes emotionally exhausting, not always an easy book to read.
There are some masterful descriptions, like that of Nazneen before her nervous breakdown watching her dead mom slide across her living room. Like the hilarious jostling among different brands of pseudo-Islamic factions in the young Bengali community. Or Razia being spat on after September 11, on a London street wearing a Union Jack T-shirt. And so on and so forth.
Ms Ali has done a wonderful job. To the non-Bengali reader, I have an invitation: welcome to my world. Maybe you will find the setting too alien for you to be interested in. But maybe (I hope) you will actually discover a beautiful story set amongst a struggling people.

Superb scifi ideas. Poetry, imperialism,coexisting with AIs.
Jan. 26 2004
This review is from:
Hyperion (Mass Market Paperback)
Excellent. Hard scifi.
As they make their way toward the Shrike and the Time Tombs, on the planet Hyperion, six characters tell their individual stories. Each of them have been altered by the mysteries of Hyperion in his/her own, unique way, and now they have been called by the Shrike church to make a pilgrimage to the Shrike.
Each story is fascinating, and often macabre and tragic.
As we hear the stories one by one, we also get to know more and more of the universe in which our characters live. The introduction to the universe is painless, and integrated seamlessly into the tales.
And the universe is magnificently constructed. A Hegemony of mainstream humanity, guided/used by a Core of Artificial Intelligence. There is a description of interacting with the AI Core in a manner similar to that popularized recently in the Wachowski brothers' "Matrix" movies. There is a population of humans evolving separately, the "ousters", feared and fought by the Hegemony. Both groups left Earth many centuries ago (the "Hegira"). The Hegemony worlds are connected by instantaneous-travel portals. But to reach non-Hegemony worlds, such as Hyperion, one has to do real near-light-speed travel, with the corresponding relativistic effect of aging slower than the people on the planets.
Human nature and capitalistic greed haven't changed much. The Hegemony civilization trashes the environment and life of new planets, and exploits populaces as it expands. Lower classes continue to live miserable lives, in underground slums. There is a rich crime under-world. Publishers continue to exploit poets.
The future-view is eurocentric, but not excessively. Among the pilgrims, there is a palestinian and a jew, and a most important character, the Consul, appears to be of Pacific Island ancestry. In fact, the colonization of the Pacific Islands happens again in this far future, as the Consul's native Maui-Covenant planet is incorporated into the Hegemony. There is an Indian planet and an East Asian planet, and many references from non-White cultures --the Hegira, the Benares, goondas, maybe other references that I've missed.
Other than human nature and imperialism, the story is also -- quite surprisingly -- about poetry.
And finally the question -- which of the six stories did I like best? I thought for a long time and couldn't come up with an answer. They are all excellent. The Scholar's tale is maybe the saddest on a personal scale. The detective's tale introduces us to Hegemony technologies and the AI core.
Maybe the Consul's story is the saddest of all, on a global scale. It expresses the author's idea that imperialism and genocide are fundamental to human civilizations. And just as Whites have crushed the rest of us here on Earth today, so will dominant cultures continue to scr_w others, for eternity.
The Just War: An American Reflection on the Morality of War in Our Time

Well-informed, well-written, but suggestions irrelevant.
Jan. 17 2004
This review is from:
The Just War: An American Reflection on the Morality of War in Our Time (Hardcover)
Mr. Temes explores the history of the idea that wars may sometimes be necessary and even just, and then tries to apply those ideas to the world today, from a humanistic/liberal American perspective.
The enjoyable part of the book is a great romp through historical trends in the three major Middle Eastern religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism). He outlines secular & fundamentalist thinking, and extremist & moderate actions, in all three traditions. Temes really displays erudition here, with bits on Kemal Ataturk, the Crusades, the life of Saladin, and many other philosophers and administrators that I know little about.
Of the many small historical details, I appreciated the discussion of Mawdudi, the mid-20th-century islamic fundamentalist thinker/writer from Hyderabad (India), who has been far too influential for the good of humanity.
Temes discusses the question of whether the religious texts themselves endorse violence. This is a discussion that deserves to be far better known -- he elaborates on how you can read practically anything you want from the Old Testament, or the Quran.
Temes clearly hears arguments from both sides, unlike the many American authors telling us how their empire is always just. It is certainly true that the WTC janitor who died in the September 11 attacks had never directly harmed a Chilean, Afghan, or Saudi. But it is equally true and relevant that the Palestinian child, blown to bits by an Israeli missile fired from an U.S.-funded helicopter, had never harmed an American.
While his knowledge is impressive and his history is fun, Temes fails to inspire with his recommendations for today's world powers. He is right when he says that, one should look primarily to the future and not to the past --- just because the West committed crimes in the past shouldn't stop them from doing the right thing now.
But this bypasses the real point. The recognition that the West committed crimes in the past should encourage them to stop continuing the imperial-colonial traditions, NOW. To ensure that their corporations and institutions don't do the same or worse things, now. If the West does not have the will to curb its energy corporations, its usurious banks, its weapons-makers, than the world will continue to be an unfair unequal place, and wars will continue to be necessary. Seeking to make wars as humane as possible, while refusing to remove its root cause (economic exploitation), seems to me to be a futile and irrelevant exercise.

Beautiful music. Gypsy and mid-eastern influences.
Jan. 1 2004
This review is from:
Fandango Nights (Audio CD)
Lively, non-conventional, and very pleasant music. Expect to be positively surprised.
The style seems to be a combination of gypsy, flamenco, Arabic tunes and fast-paced rhythms, blended to form something quite distinctive.
Each piece has an interesting name.
There is a piece called "plight of the whales", sad and majestic; close your eyes when you listen to this, and you will see our mammalian cousins, sad and stately, forgiving us as they perish.
Another piece is called "A dozen camels", in honor of the price that a desert-dweller has to pay his loved one's family, to win a bride. Close your eyes, and you'll imagine the camels, one after the other, moving with their regal gait down the sand, and our man, spent with his efforts to earn the money for the beasts, but content with the thought of winning his woman.
There's also a piece called Umm Koulsoum, who I hear was a great Egyptian singer. I closed my eyes but couldn't see anything, maybe because I don't know anything about her :-) so I just closed my eyes and listened to the lovely music!

Very helpful. Keep by your terminal while you code.
Aug. 23 2003
This review is from:
Python Essential Reference (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This is not a book for learning python, but once you know enough to write useful scripts, it's an excellent reference to keep near your hand as you write code. Deserves the five stars!
There is a tutorial introduction plus an intermediate-level description of core language features, about 100 pages long, which is useful to read for an alternate perspective into the structure of the language. The library reference section (bulk of the book, Appendix A) is well-organized and very usable.
Unfortunately for the utility of this book, the online documentation at the python webpage happens to be of excellent quality. Also, there is at least one other book (Python in a Nutshell, by Alex Martelli) that covers similar ground (tutorial + reference). This makes the "Essential Reference" not quite essential: it can be replaced by browser windows pointing to the python webpage, or by other books.
I have a bit of non-conventional advice: it seems to me that the casual programmer can make do with an earlier (cheaper :-) edition of the book. Most of the features of the language have been around since python 1.5.2, covered in the first edition. If you actually need to use features added later (e.g., list comprehensions, borrowed from Haskell), you can easily learn them from online sources. In any case, as far as advanced features are concerned, the latest edition is likely also to be soon outdated.
The No Spin Zone: Confrontations with the Powerful and Famous in America
by Bill O'Reilly

3.0 out of 5 stars
Low-grade political rhetoric. Easy intro to neocon ideology.
July 22 2003
This review is from:
The No Spin Zone: Confrontations with the Powerful and Famous in America (Hardcover)
If you want to understand the modern American Conservative (neo-con) mind better, you might want to flip through this book. Bill O'Reilley is actually quite reasonable compared to some of the other people around -- Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage come to mind as examples of the more vicious sort of neocon media personality.
O'Reilley's philosphy, however, has the same bent as the others mentioned above, as well as the segment of the Republican party holding power today. His books can serve as a relatively painless introduction to understanding the details of the new American conservative worldview.
The neo-con is a different phenomenon compared to the older segregation-type conservatives like Trent Lott or Edgar Hoover or Storm Thurmond. The neocon is more sophisticated. More subtle, well-educated. The new conservative ideology is borne by Dick Cheney, Rumsfield, Richard Perle, Newt Gingrich.
Today (2003), it is definitely worth studying the neocon philosophy in detail, as they control the White House and most of the media, and use their power to wage war for profit.
The sub-title of the book is "Confrontations with the Powerful and Famous". Dishonest but very interesting title. There are no Enron executives interviewed here. No representative of the powerful oil and tobacco industries. Lobbyists for Lockheed-Martin and other weapons manufacturers are absent. No Dick Cheney, who stands to make the most money out of the Iraq War.
So who are O'Reilley's "Powerful and Famous" targets? Susan Sarandon, an actress who cares about human rights. Al Sharpton. A guy working for a studio that produces Eminem CDs. Puff Daddy the rapper. Get real!! Are these the truly powerful people in America today?
O'Reilley takes on Susan Sarandon for protesting the brutal murder of Amadou Diallou, the unarmed African immigrant shot 41 times by four NYC police officers. Sarandon was wrong to call for changes in the police system, he says. The Diallou murder was an "isolated" incident, not indicating any systematic racism in the police institution.
This is significant. The neocon knows that segregation is over and it would be very hard to take the country back there. What he badly wants now is to preserve is the current police and justice (injustice) system.
This is the system that puts a quarter of black American males in jail at some point of their life. Many of them on totally non-violent drug charges. This is the system that produces Diallou-type murders of innocent blacks, not once, but over and over and over agiain.
This system, of course, must be protected at all costs. It's the last stand against the dark-skinned hordes, who might get educated and powerful if not checked, and must be defended against. Conservative White America's last stand. The police/justice/execution/drug-war arrangement that is the modern version of slavery and segregation.
And so neocons get extremely rattled when Sarandon calls for reform in the police & justice system. And so Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton bother O'Reilly so much, because they make a career out of pointing out some of the injustices of the current system.
A part of the book is devoted to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, including excerpts from an interview with Sharpton, and lots of abusive rhetoric for both of them.
Sharpton is an "executive", Bill says, making it sound like a slur. Well, of course he is. Doesn't our capitalist worldview encourage us to make a business out of everything, including activism? Aren't Cheney, Rumsfield, Perle, Powell, executives too? How come those people don't rattle Bill so much?
And do tell, if people like Jackson and Sharpton weren't around, would there be more killings of innocent blacks, or less? Would the number of harmless black kids in jail be larger or smaller? How many more unarmed dark-skinned kids would be shot for no reason by the police?
Bill O'Reilly, of course, does not discuss these questions.
O'Reilly's other target in this book is rap music. He takes on Puff Daddy about rap music encouraging violence. And he goes on a long tiresome tirade about Eminem.
So why does rap music in general, and Eminem's success in particular, irritate O'Reilley so much? Is it the idea of non-White music, polluting White kids' minds? Surely he can't actually believe that nonsense about dirty lyrics causing violence? I am yet to hear about someone being motivated to assault homosexuals because of Eminem's music; if I remember correctly, violence against gay people have come exclusively from O'Reilley's own ilk, the religious right.
Well, I don't know why African influences are so strong in American music, but it sure is fun to see conservatives jump around in consternation, each time they notice the black influence!
I too find some of Eminem's lyrics disturbing, but doesn't that just reflect the far more disturbing poverty of inner-city life? A country with such an appalling rich-poor gap, and a completely dysfunctional safety net; a nation that holds more wealth than any other, but condemns so many of its citizens (yes even WHITE citizens!!) to live the miserable life of the American poor!! What kind of lyrics did you expect from the violent, hopeless life of the inner city? Lullabies?
But of course, the economic system that produces the misery and violence of the poor, this economic system can't be questioned. And, true to expectations, O'Reilley steers clear of such questioning.
In summary, an interesting book to flip through. The really interesting parts are the questions NOT asked, and the issues carefully distorted.
Forever Peace

5.0 out of 5 stars
Visionary description of near-future sociopolitics.
July 22 2003
This review is from:
Forever Peace (Mass Market Paperback)
Such vision!!
The war between the rich and the poor worlds, partly economic and partly racist, is a plausible description of what could happen if the "3rd World" actually stood up and demanded economic justice. In Forever Peace, the Ngumi, a fictitious alliance of Third World forces, fight the exploitation of the rich world. Scifi ideas are explored against this background.
"Browns, blacks and some yellows" fighting for a decent life against "whites and other yellows". Hugely imbalanced war, technologically and economically. Sounds familiar? In 2003, the war to keep the darkies in their place has already begun, Iraq being the first round.
The difference is that, in the real world, us darkies are ruled by proxy monsters usually installed by the White world; sacrificing us to the interests of Western finance; and sinking the black/brown world deeper and deeper into a mire of greater poverty from which we will likely never recover, as the white man's economic noose settles tighter and tighter around our throats. We can only hope --- perhaps this desperation might lead to the rise of a moral and able leadership, like the "Ngumi" in Haldeman's "Forever Peace".
The "nuking of Atlanta" -- so prophetic, so similar to the real-world attack on America (Sept 11), giving the American ("Alliance") militarists and religious fanatics carte blanche to embark on an indefinite war against some segment of the Third World.
Other descriptions in the book also uncannily resemble real-world America after 9/11. news of a man * suspected * of being a terrorist and summarily executed. Wars raging in distant lands with doctored sanitized war-news coverage at home. Rising racism and xenophobia. Descriptions of jailed brown people, sickening reminder of Guantanamo Bay.
I like the hope of a better world in Forever Peace. But I have the nasty feeling that, in the real world, the West will find it easy to keep the Third World controlled and impoverished, with proxy leaders and various pretenses.
The crucial events in the book, the rebellion against the Western war-machine, come from educated Americans who are drafted as soldierboy-controllers and who find the U.S./Alliance atrocities abhorrent. This is maybe modelled on the Vietnam era protest phenomenon, which Haldeman knows intimately.
In the real world today, unfortunately, the American ruling classes have found a way around this. The U.S. has a large class of poor half-educated people who can serve in the military, without being a threat to the military, should they develop a conscience. The draft is not necessary if you have enough people whose opportunities are so limited that the military seems attractive to them.
It has been said that readers don't relate well to Haldeman's characters. This seems to be a general weakness in Haldeman's writing.
On the other hand, the motivations and beliefs of the characters in "Forever Peace" are often well-drawn and realistic. Some examples --
(1) I know black Americans today with the same political approach as Julian. My friend XXXXX is aware that much of US foreign policy is based on racist aims and motives, but he takes the pragmatic approach of silence. Sometimes he is bothered by U.S. support for white landowners in Zimbabwe, or for fairer Israelis against darker Palestinians, or for the fairer richer people in Venezuela. (In each case the racial component of U.S. support only thinly veiled.) But my black-American friend suppresses these pangs of conscience well, and like a good citizen, says nothing and makes no protest.
(2) The open-minded religious woman, Ellie Frazer of the Twenty, as opposed to the fanatic nuts among the Enders. I personally know religious people of both these stereotypical extremes, and I thought the contrast was described well, if a bit over-dramatic.
And oh, I should say something about the science ideas. They're good. Controlling robots remotely through a connection to your spine, being jacked to each other's brains, the "jill" prostitutes, the description of theoretical physics research. All good.
After gushing over the book for so long, I should also list some negatives: (1) the writing style is not so successful at evoking sympathy for the characters; (2) the second half of the book is short of scifi ideas, this part reads more like an action thriller.
Linux Programming Bible

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good tutorial and reference. Nothing spectacular.
June 28 2003
This review is from:
Linux Programming Bible (Paperback)
Covers many topics, anyone who works and codes on a linux/unix environment will find something useful here --
The shell, bash, regular expressions. Emacs.
C -- gcc (compiler), gdb (debugger), gnu make for managing projects,
memory management, libraries & linking.
Files, processes, signals, terminals.
Semaphores, sockets, inter-process communication,
Perl (3 chapters!!) -- the language, data-munging, cgi programming, database work.
Graphical interfaces.
Collaboration via CVS, security, optimization.
Most topics are at an introductory-to-intermediate level. The topics covered in the different chapters, each deserves a separate book by itself, and the serious programmer will need more complete references for the particular tools s/he is using intensively.
And of course, practically all the material here can be learned from free tutorials and articles on the internet, if you know how and where to look.
The descriptions are adequate but not particularly remarkable, often more bloated than they need to be. The example code snippets are adequate but not inspiring, rather on the insipid side.
However, the book is useful as a compendium of things one needs to know and look up. An intermediate linux/unix user might find it useful to take the time to go through the whole book from
beginning to end, to get exposed to concepts s/he hasn't mastered yet. In addition, it might serve as a general-purpose reference worth keeping handy on your desk.
Positive comments (again :-) --
#. Useful collection of things one needs to know and often look up.
#. Adequate introductory discussions to a large number of topics. Code snippets to illustrate concepts.
Negative/neutral comments --
#. Too verbose. Book size could have been cut to two-thirds.
#. Too bulky to be carried around, see previous comment.
#. Extensive coverage of perl, with little mention of python, ruby, scheme, or other scripting language of similar functionality. Especially important as python gains in popularity every day. Linux really is not about perl.
#. Coverage of emacs, none of vi.
#. Maybe it's good to focus on one tool among several equivalent ones, but then there should be some discussion of alternative tools, maybe in a separate chapter for alternative tools/languages/editors.
#. In the same vein, a chapter discussing in short the various programming and scripting languages out there, their pros & cons & reputations, would be very nice. Linux and open source are, after all, about choice!
#. The example code illustrate basic ideas; they're not examples of real-life problem solving.
