Apple Will Outlive the Competition
TheStreet) --
(AAPL) will vastly outlive its competition. To explore that, it's necessary to look at software, hardware and how Apple integrates the two.
Software is hardly ever beloved. Software is simply a means to bring the capabilities of the hardware to life. Often, software fails the user. There are several reasons for that. In some cases, the hardware isn't up to the task that the developer envisions. In other cases, the developer fails to create an elegant connection between the user interface and the task the user wants to accomplish.
In the history of the Macintosh and PC there have only been a handful of native apps that were so beautifully executed, so well conceived, that they actually became beloved. The annals of frustrating software, on the other hand, are plentiful and legendary.
Stand-alone software services are even more abstract. Software services don't span time and generations, nor do they evoke emotion and affection. They're just there, like a dumbwaiter, waiting to be exercised. Take, for example, services from Google (AAPL). They come and go as grand experiments on the users. The list of abandoned Google services reads like a funeral service.
Hardware is much easier to love. Beautiful 2K and 4K displays, MacBooks, external drives with glowing LEDs, the new Mac Pro (an enigmatic black cylinder), blazing fast Alienware PCs with ghostly lights, some Ultrabooks, the iPhone and iPad, all come to mind.This hardware can create an instant attraction and affection. But it needs nicely integrated software to bring it to life in ways that charm and delight us. On the other hand, the software itself, phantom like, is only beautiful to another software engineer. No one swoons over a BMW's system software. They do, however, become giddy over the lines of a favorite model. There is the tactile feel of how responsive it is and handles so well. Things we can touch and feel are more human-directed, and we can easily anthropomorphize.

BigBelly uses solar power to crush trash
Here's something that we're excited to see being used in real life rather than just sitting on a designers hard drive: BigBelly. BigBelly is a public trashcan that can hold tons more trash than a normal trash can because it compacts it down. And it does this without sucking up any energy from the grid or raising a city's energy costs because it has a big ol' solar panel on top.
This saves money by not requiring the cans to be emptied as often, and once the initial investment in the BigBelly is made it costs very little in upkeep. It makes so much sense, in fact, that you can find BigBellys hanging out on street corners in Palm Springs, CA already, and it's definitely not the last city to catch on to the idea.

Sitting empty since 2007, brown paper covers the windows of 20 W. Chicago Ave. But once upon a time, teddy bears built the building.
JoAnne and Jeff Rosenfeld, Naperville residents since 1981, decided they'd like to stay in the town they'd been transferred to through Jeff's corporate job. During a trip to Door County, they became intrigued with a tiny teddy bear store in Fish Creek — particularly one line, North American Bears.
"We didn't know much about the teddy bear market," JoAnne said. "But we started investigating. That little store planted a seed — we took it way farther."
In 1987, the new entrepreneurs opened Grin and Bear It in the 1,000 square feet at 38 W. Chicago Ave., selling collectible and other stuffed animals.
"Neither of us had any retail experience, but there was no other store like it that I've ever seen," Jeff said. "It just happened to work — people appreciated and liked it. We had it seven years and not once did we offer a sale or mark down a price."
Many of their vendors gave the shop exclusive items throughout the state. It was the top volume seller for Gund for a couple of years in a row, they said, and one of three stores in the Chicago area tapped to sell their exclusive designer line. They became one of North American Bear's biggest customers.
"There was a big collectible market at the time — teddy bears overtook dolls for a while," Jeff said. "We happened to get in ahead of that."
He said their store was far from typical.
"We weren't a neighborhood store," he said. "We advertised in national collectible magazines, and people would drive a couple of hundred miles out of their way to come to the store."
The small store did so well, it soon needed more space.
"We wanted to stay in that area," JoAnne said. "We just kept driving past this empty lot on Chicago, and one day thought, 'what is that space?'"
It was a parking lot being used by Rick's Auto Parts, at the time in the building now occupied by Features. The lot was owned by the Buikema family.
"We purchased the land and custom-built the 4,000-square-foot building," Jeff said. "We designed it for the product we were selling. It was pretty impressive — 18-foot ceilings, a 12-by-12 vestibule that went up 8 to 10 feet. We had life-sized animals — a giraffe and a horse — in there."
Originally featuring solid oak double doors on the front, "it had an elegant, old-town feeling," JoAnne said.
The store carried the upscale Steiff bears as well as other German and English brands and custom-made bears costing more than $1,000.
"The artist bear market — individuals handmade and designed the bears and numbered them — became a huge part of our business," JoAnne said. "A lot of the focus of the teddy bear magazines were the artists."
"Adults were fanatical about them. We had some very wealthy customers who were into collecting — many of our customers were repeat customers. Probably 25 percent of them didn't collect artist bears until they came to our store and got hooked on that."
The store had so loyal a following, one customer wanted to buy the business.
"We had no intention of selling, but the husband of one of our customers who came in regularly, said she was looking for something to do after their kids graduated," Jeff said.
The Rosenfelds declined, saying it wasn't for sale. But the man came in again. And again.
"He said she really wants this business. We told him we didn't want to sell, but he said she just loves it. We told him she could open the same thing, he said she wanted that one. We finally told him to make us an offer, and when he made us an outstanding offer, we said 'what the heck?' and sold it. We closed about a week later," Jeff said of the 1994 sale.
Other things
The couple leased the building to the new business owners, who remained in the building until 1999, when the building was leased to a clothing store.
Mitch Michaels and Danielle Salchow opened their first Modern Simplicity clothing store in New Buffalo, Michigan, in 1997. Many of their customers were west suburban residents who asked the couple to open a store at home. When they did, over Thanksgiving weekend 1999, the shop did well through the holidays, but cooled during the winter.
Spring and summer picked up, but when a shoe store that was to share the rent didn't materialize for the second floor, it was time to cut the losses Michaels, said.
"Our accountant had another client who was looking for a bigger location — a skateboard store. They took over our lease," he said.
That, of course, was RQ Boardshop, a bit of a Naperville landmark.
"We became kind of a hangout for the kids, whether they skateboarded or not," said Brian Quarles, one of three owners. "They felt like they were welcome. As more mom and pops move out, you lose that kind of feel."
Moving the skateboard/snowboard shop from 226 S. Washington St. to 20 W. Chicago in 2000 was exciting, Quarles said.
"We liked the location and the multiple levels — it was neat to move into that much bigger of a space."
They stayed for five years. A multitude of factors — Sept. 11, tougher parking, a warm winter — caused Quarles and his brother to leave the business. A third partner moved the shop to Fifth Avenue for a while.
Al's Beef franchisee Steve Smith of the Blackhawks then turned 20 W. Chicago into a restaurant. Unfortunately, the concept didn't take off, and it closed in 2006.
What's next
In January 2007, the Rosenfelds were between leases and sold the building when the right offer came in. The building has been empty since, but according to the Naperville Development Partnership, the owner is building a deck on the back of the building for a future restaurant to overlook the river.
The Rosenfelds remember their own building process as a simple thing.
"The city was happy for us to build it, to get rid of that eyesore vacant lot," Jeff said. "We loved it there; we enjoyed the camaraderie of the downtown merchants."
His own years at RQ taught Quarles a lot, much of which translated into his current position as creative director at a sports marketing firm in Chicago. But when he walks past the long-shuttered building he rented for so long, he's sad to see it empty.
"The best memories of those days are the kids and the families who came in to the store," he said. "We still see some of them and hear about them to this day.
"When it was great, it was great — really a sense of amazing community, and people we felt like we helped raise — or grew up with on some level. That was definitely beautiful."
Bears and boards, perhaps, but never simple child's play at 20 W. Chicago.

3 Lessons Lululemon and American Apparel Need to Learn
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- What can Lululemon (LULU) and American Apparel (APP) learn from Apple (AAPL)? A lot probably, given the first two companies' recent struggles.
The battles between the founders and the boards of both of these apparel companies are heating up and as performance generally suffers, each retailer is being distracted further.
Penny stock American Apparel made waves last week when it abruptly announced that it was terminating its founder and CEO Dov Charney, 45. Co-chairman Allan Mayer cited "an ongoing investigation into alleged misconduct" that forced the board to fire him. Media reports have said Charney had been embroiled with multiple sexual harassment lawsuits, all settled out of court, and had been accused of inappropriate behavior, including him walking around in his underwear at the office, among other things.
It's looking increasingly like Charney is not going down without a fight and considering that he owns 27% of the company's outstanding stock, the board is in for quite a headache. Charney, through his lawyer, has requested to meet with the board to demand his job back, but the board told Reuters that it sees no reason to meet with him. American Apparel announced on Monday that it had hired financial and strategic advisor Peter J. Solomon Company to represent it.Lululemon's founder Dennis "Chip" Wilson is also apparently gearing up for a proxy fight as news surfaced that the former yoga apparel retailer's chairman was in discussions with Goldman Sachs (GS) to discuss ways to shake up its board of directors or perhaps take the company private. Wilson, who gave up his chairmanship late last year when the company hired its new CEO Laurent Potdevin, has been critical of Lululemon's current board. Wilson had released a statement prior to the Vancouver-based company's annual meeting this month in which said he voted against re-election of two outside directors -- Lululemon's chairman and a former Starbucks (SBUX) executive, Michael Casey, and private equity executive RoAnn Costin Wilson. American Apparel Hires Adviser Following CEO Dov Charney's Termination Here are 5 Retailers With Big Short Interest American Apparel, Is It Fit for a Buyer? Will Express Lead to Other Retailers Being Snapped Up? Can Lululemon Regain its Shining Star Status? TheStreet spoke with retail industry analysts and consultants to gleam some lessons from some of the more successful retailing companies, specifically Apple, Nike (NKE) and Ralph Lauren (RL), to extract lessons for both Lululemon and American Apparel. Here are three lessons:

Answers to Producer Questionnaire
|Overhome Farm
|List what you intend to sell. (if applicable)
(e.g. meats, grains, jellies, crafts; also note if you have any heritage breeds)
|Describe your farming, processing and/or crafting practices. (if applicable)
|We grow fruits, vegetables, and small grains in an intensive rotation that limits the amount of external inputs to the farm. Our current emphasis is on pepper, squash/pumpkins, popcorn, and small grains and corn for flour/meal. We are slowly building an inventory of perennial fruits and vegetables including asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, walnuts, hazelnuts, sour cherries, and apples. We intend to introduce poultry, hogs, and cattle to the mix in the future.
|Describe your pest and disease management system. (if applicable)
|Describe your herd health and productivity management. (if applicable)
(i.e. do you use any hormones, antibiotics, and/or steroids)
|We are in the initial stages of introducing free-range, pastured livestock into our crop rotation.
|Describe your feeding practices. (if applicable)
(grass-fed only, free-range, feed-lot, etc.)
|Our crop rotation includes the use of short- (beans) and long- (alfalfa) term legumes for nitrogen building; green manures for organic matter and fertility building; cover crops to aid in soil erosion as well as organic matter; and fallow periods for soil rest. As we introduce livestock to the crop rotation mix, additional fertility, organic matter, and soil aeration (from trampling hooves, rooting snouts, and scratching claws) benefits will be realized.
|Describe your soil and nutrient management. (if applicable)
(Do you compost, use fertilizers, green manures or animal manures?)
|alfalfa; crop residue of all vegetables grown on the farm; stubble of grain crops; mulch primarily of oat, rye, wheat, barley straw and recycled newspaper; buckwheat and millet as green manure crops; eventually poultry, hog, and cattle manure.
|Describe your water usage practices. (if applicable)
(If you irrigate, describe how - e.g. deep well, surface water, etc., and explain how you conserve water or use best management practices. Describe how you are protecting your water source from contamination/erosion).
|Describe your conservation/land stewardship practices. (if applicable)
(e.g., do you plant windbreaks, maintain grass waterways, riparian buffers, use green manures for wind erosion, plant habitats for birds, improve soil quality, etc.)
|We utilize grassed waterways and maintain areas for wildlife diversity (especially for beneficial pollinators) by using a mix of native and introduced perennial and annual plant species. We use cover crops and long-term hay/pastures in our crop rotation to aid in limiting wind and surface water erosion. We use regular and repeated green manure crops to build soil fertility and organic matter.
|Describe any additional information and/or sustainable practices about your operation that
would be helpful to a potential customer in understanding your farm or operation better.
(e.g. if you are raising any heritage animals you might list breeds or list varieties of heirloom seeds. List the percentage of local ingredients in your processed items).
|List your food liability insurance coverage, both general and product-related, as well as any licenses and tests that you have available. (if applicable)
|List which products you are selling as organic. (if applicable)
|List certifying agency's name and address:
(if applicable)
|Certifying Agency's Phone:
(if applicable)
|Certifying Agency's Fax:
(if applicable)
|Do you have available for inspection a copy of your current organic certificate? (if applicable)
|Yes No
|I affirm that all statements made about my farm and products in this application are true, correct and complete and I have given a truthful representation of my operation, practices, and origin of products. I understand that if questions arise about my operation I may be inspected (unannounced). If I stated my operation is organic, then I am complying with the National Organic Program and will provide upon request a copy of my certification. I have read all of the producer standards and fully understand and am willing to comply with them.
I agree

Very much doubt it, its on Amazon Prime and possibly still on Netflix.
May go and see it this weekend, do you need to have seen the first one for it to make sense?
Very much doubt it, its on Amazon Prime and possibly still on Netflix.
First one tells you about how captain America came to be....avengers follows up on him changing and adapting to the new world...this one follows up after avengers.
rush_tech (28th March 2014)
Spoiler Alert!!! (First film described below!!)
The year is 1942. There lives a man who goes by the name of Steve Rogers. Steve is a small man. He cannot get into the Military because of his teeny tinyness.
Crazy scientist man makes drug that will make people hench. Crazy man likes Steve's spirit so gives him drug. Steve gets hench and puts on lycra.
The silly Americans market Steve as Captain America! American hero etc etc.
Red faced Nazi man has magical thing called the Tesseract (if you've seen The Avengers you will know about this thing). Captain America beats up said Nazi's.
Captain America crashes big ass plane into the Arctic ocean. Gets frozen. Gets woken up 70 years later by Samuel L Jackson n his homies.
So now you know...
The only thing is the serum...many people just don't understand captain America and how he is in the position he is in because of the serum. First film wasn't great I agree, but explains him and red skull...who is apparently making a come back in avengers 2
I saw this on Friday. Probably my favourite MCU movie yet. I can't think of a single substantial complaint. HAIL HYDRA!
I want to see it too, Mrs wont entertain it though :/
I am so chuffed they started making films out of Marvel Superheroes though, years I thought things like X-Men/Avengers would rock if they were films, think it took long time though for CG stuff to catch up.
I am pretty certain you need to see the first film in order for it to make sense...
Yeah, seeing the first one is kind of essential.
I enjoyed this film.
As we break up today I am going tomorrow through the day, should be lovely and quiet with no kids.
saw this last night enjoyed it once it got going, as usual they leave it opened ended so if they want to add extra films they can imo.
havent some of the actors signed up for long term contracts as well?
Chris Evans is doing the Avengers film then another CA film, and that'll be him done.
Tis very good, really enjoyed it with excellent action scene... Miss Johannson is beyond sexy in it, worth the rip off cinema fee (new film from her... looks good and its a Besson)

I crave this on hot days just because it's insanely delicious and it makes me feel purely hydrated when I imbibe it. Kinda nutty, kinda creamy, it's a nice change on cereal, warmed up in your chai, or as a substitute for the milk in ice cream. My favorite, however, is drinking it straight from the Mason jar. Oh, and feel free to sweeten it up to your taste: a lot of people like to blend in dates, maple syrup, agave syrup, barley malt, or some other natural sugar. For me, almond milk is sweet enough on its own. While soaking the almonds yields a much sweeter, smoother, more full-flavored milk, you can get by in a pinch just using raw, dry almonds (or hazelnuts, or cashews). Note that a blender is required.
Soak the almonds in water to cover by 1 inch for at least 6 hours or overnight. They will plump up by about 30 percent while soaking.
Drain the almonds and place them and the water in the blender. Blend on the highest setting for a full 2 minutes.
Pour the milk: through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing down on the solids as you go. Discard the solids and strain the milk one more time, this time not squeezing the solids.
The milk is ready to drink immediately: try it straight up or over ice.
Kept refrigerated, almond milk: will last for 5 days. Frozen, it will last for up to 4 months.

Above is Christian Bale's audition tape for Batman Begins that made the Internet rounds over the weekend because not only does it feature future Lois Lane Amy Adams standing in for Katie Holmes, but Christian wearing Val Kilmer's Batsuit. (As for why he didn't wear George Clooney's, I'll assume the official reason was "too many whores fucked in it.") You'll also notice Christopher Nolan taking a lot of care to find the right actor who can give off a certain energy while completely covered in rubber as opposed to the current strategy of, "Eh, just put Ben Affleck in it."
Here's Christian Bale Wearing Val Kilmer's Batsuit To Audition For 'Batman Begins'
September 23rd, 2013 // 5 Comments
Another truck with fresh POS for the new Batman….
"Visual iconography?" Wait, isn't an icon visual by definition already?
Yes he needs to change his voice but it can be subtle. See Kevin Conroy.
Thanks for rubbing it in that he won't be Batman and now we have to deal with Affleck, like we needed to be reminded of that shit.

Jitish Kallat: All Stories we Tell About Others are Stories about Ourselves
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Zenobia Khaleel | February 14, 2014 4:36 PM EST
Sometimes, nay mostly, it's the deceptively simple moments in life that leave the deepest impact. When contemporary Indian artist Jitish Kallat decided to create an artistic memento to revere his father, he based it around the many meals they shared together.
Global India Newswire
Jitish Kallat: All stories we tell about others are stories about ourselves
Kallat epitomizes his father's life with Epilogue - 22,000 photographs of progressively eaten roti; each roti symbolizing the phase of the moon his father might have gazed on each night of his life. Connecting the mortal with the celestial, Kallat reminds viewers of life's natural ebb and flow, of the essential things that nourish us - bread, family.
Epilogue is a prologue to the San Jose Museum of Art's (SJMA) 'Around the Table' art festival, and will be on view till Spring.
Kallat has dominated the contemporary art scene in India for more than a decade. In recent years, he has been trending around the global circuit as well. A master of mixed media, his wide ranging genre incorporates painting, large-scale sculpture installations, photography, and video art.
Kallat has conducted solo exhibitions around the world, in cities like New Delhi, New York, Berlin, London and Chicago and his work is showcased in the hallowed halls of Tate Modern, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Royal Academy of Arts and the Saatchi Gallery in London; and at the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art in Brisbane, Australia, and the Havana Biennial, in Cuba.
Kallat unleashes his imagination with a distinct and vibrant imagery that captivates the attention and evokes thought in the viewer. His art, rich in concept and technique, constantly delves into 'the endless narratives of human struggle'- life, death, pain, hope and survival.
Kallat's works are introspective; be it reviving momentous events in history, voicing the relationship between the individual and the masses, urban consumerism, and India's socio political climate. The sprawling metropolis of Mumbai - Kallat's hometown - is regularly featured in his art, with all its chaotic energy and the multitudes of its inhabitants.
"The overcrowded and media-saturated street festooned with billboards provided me with themes, as well as my artistic language," Kallat has remarked earlier.
As part of the SJMA's art exhibition, Kallat was in California last month, speaking on his huge volume of work at the India Community Center. Some of his significant work include "Public Notice 3" an installation at the art institute of Chicago where he connects two diametrically opposite events in history that befell on the same date, 108 years apart - the First World Parliament of Religions held on September 11, 1893, and the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, September 11, 2001.
Kallat converts Vivekananda's landmark speech, which advocated universal tolerance, to LED displays, on the Grand Staircase of the Art Institute, displayed in the colors of the Department of Homeland Security's color coded threat alert system. "Circadian Rhyme" recreates the scene at the security checkpoint; a set of miniature figures lined up in a row each being frisked by a security agent. Deftly interwoven with poetry and irony, it is another acerbic commentary of paranoia and terrorism which has become part of the everyday reality.
In an interview to Global India Newswire, Kallat describes his art, the process and the purpose of his creations. Excerpts from the interview:
Is it right to surmise that Mumbai is your greatest muse? Is there a recurring theme in your art?
Mumbai is neither a muse nor a theme. It is my city of birth and residence. Beyond the idea of home and family it is the 'culture medium' within which one has grown and absorbed the world. The themes perhaps come from the inner-most core of one's being and are questions that might fuel the very purpose of life. Where is our planet going at 70000 miles per hour and how can we map the meaning of our existence to this larger planetary journey, can be one such question.
As an artist, are you trying to mirror the society, question it, or compel the society to act?
As an artist I may be trying to mirror myself; and the entire world anyway is within all of us. All the stories we might tell about others are stories about ourselves.
Art is a compelling space to sketch a vision of the world; I'm not so sure it can compel society to act in a way that agitprop would. In the presence of a piece of work one might be provoked, at an individual level, to re-think oneself and one's place in the world.
Is there a sense of disillusionment in your art, in India's current state of affairs?
You can tell me if you see disillusionment in the work. My imagery, my artistic language and orientation evolve in response to the world around me. Just as the beautiful mysteries of the world inform my work, the asymmetric inequities of the world that concerns me as an individual might also percolate my work as an artist.
Do you believe Indian art has come of age in the world stage?
In the last decade or so, the world has been increasingly interested in not just the art of south Asia but literature, music, films and food from the region. That may have something to do with a growing interest in the region but at a very fundamental level, the art has an internal rigor that is also drawing the world to it.
Paintings, photography, mixed media, sculptures. You work with diverse forms of artistic media. What gives you the most creative satisfaction?
I do not think in mediumistic terms. The medium is a pointer. Creative satisfaction comes when an idea finds the right medium to materialize itself, and the work feels like a germinated entity evolved out of the seed idea that appeared within oneself.
Can you explain the concept of 'Epilogue'?
In 'Epilogue' I retrace my father's life through all the moons he may have witnessed from the day he was born on April 2, 1936 to the day of his untimely death on December 2, 1998. 'Epilogue' is measurement of my father's lifespan with the approximately 22,000 moons that he saw in the 62 years of his life, each moon is represented by a progressively eaten roti (Indian bread). The last moon he saw was on the night of December 1, 1998 leaving the last frame of Epilogue dark and empty, barring that single moon which appears almost like a full stop. 'Epilogue' can perhaps be called meditations on time and sustenance, as a script inscribed in the night sky waxing and waning between abundance and dearth.
What are you forthcoming projects?
Besides the concurrent solo exhibitions at the San Jose Museum of Art and at Gallery Daniel Templon, Paris, there is a forthcoming solo exhibition with Arndt Singapore opening in the third week of October. After November I recede into the studio for a few months of silent, uninterrupted work. In the summer of 2014 a large permanent sculpture of mine will be installed in Austria.
How has your art evolved through the years?
Concentrically and eccentrically.

Whitney Tool Company will show its line of cutting tools at WESTEC 2013 in Booth 3505. The company recently took a leadership position in the manufacture of de-burring tools through the acquisition of Cogsdill Enterprises, the developer and patent holder of the Burr-Zit tool. Burr-Zit is the original clothespin type de-burring tool that can de-burr both sides of a drilled, punched or reamed hole in one operation, even when only one side is accessible.
Burr-Zit tools are constructed from a single piece of high quality M-2, high speed cutting steel. Users can de-burr up to five thousand holes per grind with approximately 6 to 20 grinds per tool, depending on size for unmatched performance and economy.

Newspaper Stocks Surge As Their Own News Improves
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ¿ Newspapers may have finally stopped ¿ or at least slowed ¿ their harrowing descent into a financial abyss after three years of plunging revenues, crumbling stock prices and shrinking staffs.
The latest glimmer of hope came Tuesday when Gannett Co., the largest U.S. newspaper publisher, announced that its third-quarter earnings will be substantially above analysts' forecasts.
Although Gannett's revenue for the period, which ended Sunday, fell slightly below analysts' projections, executives said newspaper advertising sales didn't fall as badly as they did in the first and second quarters.That's not saying much. Gannett's ad revenue from USA Today and its other print publications dived 33 percent during the first half of the year. And newspapers have yet to come up with a cure for the perilous problem they faced before the recession even struck ¿ what to do about the massive shift of readers and advertisers to the Internet. But Gannett's modest progress suggests newspapers might at least be able to recover some of the revenue lost since 2006. Analysts suspect a rebound could begin soon and accelerate next year, particularly if advertising for homes, cars and jobs picks up.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
Coldplay vs. Gwyneth Paltrow
Chris Martin: Not content to be just a critical success, the band has also sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. While this is nothing compared to fellow Brit arena gods U2's 140 million, it ain't exactly something to turn your nose up at either.
Gwyneth Paltrow: Paltrow won a Best Actress Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love. Since then, almost nothing but frightening critical and commercial duds.
Winner: Martin sits at the head of this table. That's what happens when you're one of the most popular musicians in the world and your wife only played a super-hero sidekick with ten lines.
Seal vs. Heidi Klum
Seal: Seal can't exactly be called a one-hit wonder, but we dare you to name a hit other than his Grammy-award-winning "Kiss from a Rose."
Heidi Klum: Aside from being one of the world's most famous supermodels and, at 35 with three kids, still a Victoria's Secret model, Klum is the host of "Project Runway." Her tagline, "You're either in, or you're out," is repeated by women and gay men around the world.
Winner: Seal, hands down. No matter how successful his wife ends up, nothing she does will ever trump the fact that he gets to go to bed with one of the most beautiful people in the world every night.
Madonna vs. Guy Ritchie
Madonna: The Queen of Pop has sold more than 200-million albums, has a net worth of close to half a billion dollars, and has set more trends than all of her peers combined. Sure, she might have starred in some of the worst movies ever made, but did we mention she's worth half a billion friggin' dollars?
Guy Ritchie: Ritchie has directed three movies that no one can tell apart (RockNRolla being the latest), a pretty awful movie (Revolver), and one of the five worst movies of the new millennium (Swept Away, starring Madonna).
Winner: Madonna, who's finally divorcing the hack after almost eight years of him always standing two feet behind her on the red carpet. But if Madge hooks up with Alex Rodriguez, expect some real competition.

Genre: Rock
The heart of man!
The hearts of men are easily corrupted, and through these eyes
You can see the deceiver's grip on them all--controlling every thought.
We are lost with no minds of our own. This world is where the heart lies.
There is no love in those dead eyes.
Here is the Savior. Here is the sacrifice.
Here is the Savior. Here is the sacrifice.
An undeserving love for an undeserving heart. An undeserving love.
And from the overflow, the mouth is speaking lies and leading all who hear to their demise.
And from the overflow, the mouth is speaking lies and leading all who hear to their demise.
Fight the darkness.
Fight the darkness.
Wake up. Seek the Truth.
Wake up. Seek the Truth.
The heart of man!
The heart of man!

Well, I've decided that my next brew is going to be a big one. I was looking through some reviews of commercial brews and was quite intrigued by a quadrupel (a la Rochefort 10). Does any have an Extract or PM recipe for something like this? Maybe even just some guidelines? This one will be a couple of weeks off as I need to get some stuff (bigger pot, yet another carboy, etc), but I'd like to have an idea of what I'm making pretty soon.
I've given just a little bit of thought to this, but here's what I came up with..
Quadrupel refers to the fact that you take your first runnings and heat them back up and use it as the mash water for some more grains. Then you take those first runnings, heat them up, and use them as the mash water for some more grains. Then you take those... etc. The first runnings will then have been through 4 Mashes worth of grain.
Its an awesome idea, but you have to keep in mind how many extra fermentables you are throwing away if you aren't putting those grains to a second use!
If you are going to do it, I would try a 2 or 3 gallon batch to keep the amount of grain down to a reasonable level. Then, you can add the 4 batches of grain into the large fermenter and probably get a really impressive 5 gallons "little beer" out of them. Funny thing is though, I'd bet that "little beer" is going to be over 1.070. LOL
It'd be a loooong brew day though....
Wow! Sounds involved, especially considering that I've never done AG. So basically it's a ridiculously complex Batch Sparge then? I guess you could fly sparge and make a whole bunch of a small beer from the second runnings (which might be a good idea, 10-15 gallons for friends and you keep the good stuff). It seems like you'd get pretty low efficiency on the third or fourth mash, I guess it would be worth it for great beer though.
Maybe I'll just do a big ESB next, it'd be less work and I've already got the yeast for it.
WOW now this opens up a whole new relm of brewing for me I have gotta try this maybe double at first then move on from there. D.S have you done this or added a decoction in there for good measure. any good recipe ideas to go off of.
Thanks D.S for the input and the feed back
I've done a few decoctions, but wasn't happy with the results (It's not the decoctions fault, I just suck at brewing). For simplicity and flavor, I much prefer a 90 minute boil, but I haven't completely given up on decoctions yet... I just don't have any plans to do another one any time soon.
As for recipes, I can't help you. I've never done a dubbel. I want to. I've spent a lot of time thinking about it. I have an AG recipe which I may use to make a dubbel. But that requires an extended brewing session and I don't seem to have much time these days.
Anyway, if I were going to formulate a recipe, I would work in reverse. Start out by figuring out how much grain my MLT could hold for the second runnings. Divide that amount of grain by 2, 3, or 4 (for a dubbel, trippel, or quadrupel).
I would then use a smaller vessel such as the Mini MLT presented on this board (run a search to find it), to make my sets of first runnings, then dumping the grain into the big MLT. FWIW, I would think this could all be done on the stove since you're not boiling anything yet. I would aim to collect enough for 2 to 4 gallons, depending on the size of my main MLT and how much grain it could hold.
Boil, Cool, pitch it on a yeast cake, and let it go. Then worry about what to do with the second runnings. Of course, that will depend on the strong beer recipe.
But come to think of it, I would probably design the light beer first... and let that dictate the quadrupel. Why not do it that way? You're in such a rarified stratum of brewing, my opinion is that you should almost forget about cloning and just have at making something truly unique.
Make your own recipe. That's what I say.
I know how that is. It's gotten to the point where my home is only ever used for sleeping, brew sessions are few and far between unfortunately.
On the upside, I've got a Stout that's finishing up and I'll be pitching this recipe on top of the yeast cake:
1 lbs. Crystal Malt 60°L
6 lbs. Liquid Amber Extract
1 lbs. Dry Amber Extract
2 oz. Hersbrucker (Pellets, 4.00 %AA) boiled 60 min.
1 oz. Willamette (Whole, 5.00 %AA) boiled 15 min.
Yeast : WYeast 1275 Thames Valley Ale
It basically finishes out the hops I have sitting in my freezer right now. It should be pretty good when it's all said and done. I might add more hops, not sure yet.
Well, yeah, fine. But I've never seen a reference to mashing four times and calling it a quadrupel. Only with the Belgians and their "dubbel and trippel" thing, and then something stronger is made (again, usually dark) and they call it a quadrupel.
What's a tripel? Three mashes? No, it's just stronger than the double. In that way it can be clearly defined, and means something, just not what you're suggesting. Commercial examples include La trappe's, Brewery Ommegang's, and Konigshoven (sp?) - all abbey-style beers brewed stronger than a trippel.
It's like "doppelbock." It isn't two bocks, it's just that the Germans thought it resembled a really strong bock, and so they named it that. (In fact it was a completely different brew, but that's another thread.)
It's like the term "mild." It only means anything in relation to "bitter." Nowadays everyone thinks it means a light beer, but from what we read it's just that it wasn't as highly hopped, and could in fact be even as strong as 6% abv.
Anyway, I don't want to fuss over semantics, I more just didn't want thebikingengineer thinking he had to blow 50# of malt on a 5g batch of "quadrupel."

COMMERCE - Quarterback Conor Welton starred in Wesleyan's 33-7 romp over Commerce, throwing 176 yards passing and contributing 23 yards rushing, and it couldn't have come at a better time for his team.The Wolves move to 6-2 overall, a perfect 4-0 in Region 8-A, and will play for their first region title next week at Athens Academy. Friday's win was their first over Commerce, which outscored Wesleyan 58-25 in games during the 2000 and 2001 seasons. "We took a huge step forward today ... this win means Wesleyan football has matured," head coach Franklin Pridgen said. "The kids will be ready." The Tigers (2-5, 1-2) have struggled this season, despite a program rich in playoff history. After throwing for 92 yards in the second quarter alone, Welton couldn't miss (6-for-6 passing) in the second-half shutout which included three touchdowns, one the junior scored himself on a 1-yard keeper to open the third quarter. The drive was set up by an interception from teammate Davis Brown and a 61-yard gain on Wesleyan's first-down play from Kyle Karempelis. Karempelis, the team's rushing leader, had another outstanding game, netting 149 yards on 20 carries and 29 yards on four catches. The sophomore running back made it into the end zone twice, opening the game with a 13-yard fourth-down touchdown after the Wolves blocked a Commerce punt and then ending the game with a 15-yard carry. Despite the consistent contribution this season from Karempelis, Pridgen said the team's use of six receivers and a great game from Welton helped the offense's confidence. "(Kyle) means everything to the team, but today we showed we aren't one-dimensional," the Wesleyan coach said. "With Conor (Welton) and Brent Pugh, we showed Kyle is important but he's not everything." Pugh was Wesleyan's leading receiver, hauling in four catches for 32 yards. He was trailed only slightly by Bobby Worthington, who caught three for 38. The first half was a battle between the two teams. After trading two sets of downs, Karempelis put the Wolves on the board first. On Commerce's next first down, Deon Orsbone escaped the Wolves defense on a sweep pass to the right and broke free for a 51-yard TD, which tied the game 7-7. But the Wolves marched down the field again, orchestrating an 8-play, 86-yard drive ending in a Welton five-yard TD. The Wolves took a 14-7 halftime lead they would not relinquish.

The big holiday season has passed, and New Year's resolutions are still firmly planted in so many minds. But does healthier living really mean giving up the things you crave? More nutritious versions of sugar-laden favorites may be different, but they can be equally indulgent … without the guilt. And such is the case for these scrumptious raw cinnamon rolls from The 30-Minute Vegan Cookbook by Mark Reinfeld and Jennifer Murray.
Sweetened only with dates and just the necessary amount of agave nectar, this cinnamon roll treat will also save you on time and utilities, since the recipe doesn't require use of an oven or a dehydrator. Plus, these gems are packed with fiber-dense buckwheat and some Omega-3 rich walnuts (but not too many! I know how some raw desserts can be a bit too rich, but not this one) for a good dose of nutrition. The icing will of course take this recipe from a tasty sweet snack to an indulgent dessert, but you might just decide that you deserve it anyway.
The following recipe is Raw, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, and Free of Refined Sugars …

More evidence that Nikon is at full tilt. It basically says that their Thailand superfactory (which I alluded to earlier) is going at full tilt.

I worked at John Lewis as a contractor
The benefits: annual bonus; discount at JL and Waitrose; an immense amount of leisure, learning and entertainment subsidies; corporate membership to many national institutions, a forward-thinking environment and a working environment in which anyone has the opportunity to flourish and better themselves.
Change is slow in comparison to other companies, but this makes sense because we are reluctant to make ill-considered choices that could potentially affect Partners' interests and the bonus. The salary range currently at JL is lower than it is at Waitrose, the salary is generally slightly lower than market rate and career progression is more difficult than elsewhere.
Weed out the hard-working Partners who truly display and demonstrate the six Partner Behaviours from those who seemingly do so by employing underhand negative Partner characteristics which the Partnership does not tolerate.

The Bonus scheme is quite good, and it's nice that everyone qualifies, this is a good incentive when trying to motivate teams. They're good for things like holidays and flexibility, and there is a fairly useful support network should you have any personal or professional problems. Also, if you care, you are a 'Partner' and co-owner, and you have a 'voice' within the PartnershipCons
Politics. Same as everywhere I suppose, however being in middle management is a real chore due to the fact that all of your team are 'Partners' and therefore think they have a say in the day to day running of operations; no one higher up is prepared to tell them that we are co-owners not co-managers. This leaves you with absolutely no support and the constant threat of your non-management team members taking grievances out against you or going to your boss because they see you implementing company policies as unfair and bullying behaviour. Despite how hard you work or you job performance in general, if your face doesn't fit you aren't getting any opportunities or promotions, and your face fitting is the main criteria higher management use. I have, on several occasions, stood and watched useless people being promoted above me because they make all the right noises. The business model is quite a genius way to get the bottom rung of the ladder cost saving and 'taking ownership', as they have a vested interest in bonus and the company, however it's pst irritating having to peddle this rubbish and being able to see through it all. Whether or not I leave the lights on in my office is, on the whole, unlikely to affect my bonus. My boss also happens to be a sexist, but I wouldn't hold that against the company as a whole.Advice to ManagementAdvice

The Cardinals centerfielder, subject of a new HBO documentary, brought in the era of free agency
AP Images
If Curt Flood had not existed, not even Marvin Miller could have invented him.
Who Curtis Charles Flood was and precisely his significance in baseball history is something that can't be understood just by looking at the record book. Not that Flood suffers from such an examination. He played 15 years from 1956 to 1971. (He took the 1970 season off, which is something I'll discuss in a moment.) He batted .293, was a three-time All-Star, and, playing centerfield for the St. Louis Cardinals, won Gold Glove seven consecutive seasons, from 1963-1969. He was on three pennant-winning teams with the Cardinals and earned two World Series rings. But it's what Curt Flood didn't do in 1969 that helped change the game forever: He did not accept a trade.
At the end of the 1969 season, the Cardinals traded him, along with Tim McCarver, Byron Browne, and Joe Hoerner, to the Phillies for Dick Allen, Jerry Johnson, and Cookie Rojas. But this trade was turned out to be different from all other trades before or since: This time, one of the two principal stars—most baseball writers regarded it mainly as a swap of Flood for Allen—refused to go.
Not only did Flood refuse to go, but he went to his personal lawyer and then to Marvin Miller, founder and executive director of the Players Association, and told them he wanted to sue Major League Baseball. The decision sent shock waves not only through baseball but ultimately through all professional sports. Those waves reverberate even to this day. And though he was aware that it would cost him dearly, he never wavered.
In 1969, players were still bound to a team for life by the so-called reserve clause. Simply put, a player was a team's property. Unless the team chose to trade him or release him, his first big-league team would be his only big-league team for his entire career. A player's only recourse was retirement.
Oddly enough, the language of the reserve clause was ambiguous. It merely said that if you played for a team, you must play for that team the next season as well. Two players before Flood had challenged the reserve clause only to run up against baseball's exemption from antitrust laws, first established in 1921 in a decision by Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The reserve clause, the antitrust exemption, and the legal decisions that had accumulated around it all had an aura of irrationality about them. It was as if, as Miller once put it, "the courts were saying 'Yes, you're an American and have the right to seek employment anywhere you like, but this right does not apply to baseball players."
When Flood came to Miller, his mind was already made up. "I told him," recalls Miller, "that given the courts' history of bias towards the owners and their monopoly, he didn't have a chance in hell of winning. More important than that, I told him even if he won, he'd never get anything out of it—he'd never get a job in baseball again."
Flood asked Miller if it would benefit other players. "I told him yes, and those to come.
He said, 'That's good enough for me.'" When Miller realized that Flood understood the odds against him and was still determined to go ahead with the case, he told him, "You're a union-leader's dream."
All these moments are captured in the remarkable new HBO documentary, The Curious Case of Curt Flood, which premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern. The intriguing title is explained in large part by the fact that Flood's real motivations for his decision have never been fully explored in any documentary. Ken Burns' award-winning PBS series Baseball, paid tribute to the historic importance of Flood's suit but gave scant attention to the backstory.
Born in Houston in 1938, Flood was raised in the relatively tolerant Oakland, California. His mother, who had fled the intense racial bigotry of the pre-World War II South, never let him forget what things had been like where she grew up, and in 1962, having little idea of what he was about to encounter, the 24-year-old Flood went to Mississippi to join his idols Dr. Martin Luther King and Jackie Robinson to support the non-violent protests organized by the NAACP.
Less than two years later, to his shock, racial prejudice pursued him to his own hometown—or, to be precise, 21 miles away in the suburb of Alamo—when he rented a house for his pregnant wife and four small children only to denied entrance by the owner, who didn't know they were black when they signed the lease and barred their way with a loaded shotgun. Flood sued and won, but it left him without illusions about what it was like to be a black man in America in 1964—even an affluent one who had just come home after helping a major league baseball team win the World Series.
