How are monsters made? How do the Neros and Caligulas, the Stalins and Maos come into existence? One of the most frequent explanations for those preternatural torturers of small animals, those psychopathic murderers and genocidal maniacs is actually quite simple: It's all the parents' fault. As poet Philip Larkin wrote, "They fuck you up, your mum and dad." And it's not just physical abuse that begets monsters but emotional and psychological abuse as well.
Does this explain Adolf Hitler, the "ultimate demon-tyrant of history," as British journalist A.N. Wilson, author of the short biography, Hitler, calls him? In the autobiography, Mein Kampf (My Struggle), while relating a third-person account of his childhood, Hitler illustrates the daily psychological, emotional, and even physical abuse inflicted by his family: "When the parents fight … their brutality leaves nothing to the imagination [and] the results of such visual education must slowly but inevitably become apparent in the little ones." Following this accusation, Hitler makes a less veiled remark about his parents' negative influence: "The poor little boy … senses things which would make even a grown-up person shudder."
Not so fast, though, says Wilson, "most fathers in history have beaten their children. … None has had a son like Adolf Hitler." While not denying that Hitler's father may have had "fiery tempers," Wilson asserts early in the book that "Hitler's own 'struggle' had in fact been entirely of his own making, and was owing to simple laziness." Hitler repeatedly shirked opportunities for employment and "gradually slithered downhill from the position of comfort and prosperity into which he had been born to one of penniless indigence."
It is from this fall that Wilson draws his central thesis: that the shame of sliding from prosperity to the poorhouse "is the single greatest dread among the middle classes" and that more than anything else, it is this fear that allowed Hitler to exist. "The ultimate capitalist nightmare had fallen on the German middle classes," Wilson writes. "Their savings were worth nothing. … Germany had been allowed, by the international community, to sink into a situation where there was no stability of any kind."
To this end, the biography is an engaging look at the reasons the German people, and even many outside of Germany, initially supported der Führer so vehemently. Wilson quotes history professor Robert Gellately saying that it was "perhaps first and foremost for beating the Great Depression, and for curing the massive unemployment in the country" that Hitler won accolades. "His regime overcame the Depression more quickly than any of the other advanced industrial nations."
But while the book admirably explores the how and why of Hitler's political rise to power, it never seriously delves into his formative makeup—how Hitler came to be Hitler. Wilson does include some discussion of Hitler's later mental state, theorizing that "there would surely be a case for suggesting that Hitler was at the very least mentally unbalanced, and that the imbalance from 1936 onwards became ever more pronounced." A few possibilities for Hitler's break with reality are posited, such as the suicide of a niece, Geli Raubal, with whom Hitler was particularly close, and the premature death of his mother, about which he was said to be "obsessed." What is most intriguing here, though, is that which, at least on a conscious level, did not seem to contribute to Hitler's hysteria: When his mother was on her deathbed, the attending doctor, Eduard Bloch, was Jewish, and yet "neither Hitler nor his sister seem to have felt, or demonstrated, any anti-Semitic feeling towards him." In fact, Hitler presented the doctor with a series of elaborate gifts, including a large painting and other handmade items. When war finally broke out, Hitler granted the Bloch family special Gestapo protection. Years later, Bloch said that he had "never seen anyone so prostrate with grief as was Hitler when his mother died." Most observers would see a connection between this grief and Hitler's coming actions, yet Wilson speculates that the "anti-Semitic mania appears to have developed later" in der Führer's life and had nothing to do with Eduard Bloch.
These lesser-known facts, the telling details for which Wilson has a keen eye, are what make this biography stand out. Whether revealing that Hitler had an incredibly odd fashion sense, that he farted uncontrollably, especially in cars, or that he had the tastes of a child, Wilson, whenever der Führer threatens to become a caricature of the madman with which we are all familiar, drops in a detail that, as hard to accept as it may be, reminds us that Hitler was a human being with many of the same joys, difficulties, and sorrows as the rest of us.
For a brief biography of one of the largest figures of the 20th century, the inclusion of such detail is an accomplishment. As is to be expected, though, the brevity of the text, the necessary excising of information, occasionally frustrates the reader. Early in the book, for example, we are told that "chief and greatest of [Hitler's] gifts was the capacity to speak in public, a gift which had lain dormant throughout his tongue-tied youth." That such oratory skills somehow appeared out of nowhere is fascinating, yet the reader is never given a clear idea of how or why such an ability developed.

The "crossing the t's" was the weirdest thing I heard in the US.

Eebster the Great wrote:A lot of the recommendations made no sense; for instance, one guide for writing letters indicated that all four strokes for a printed M or W should be top down. That may have made sense for a fountain pen, but with a ballpoint it's ridiculous.
At least with the kind of fountain pens we used for school it makes no sense, either.
In Germany the school handwriting is split.
East Germany: Rounded, connected upper case letters, generally very little lifting of the fountain pen, no unconnected letters I can think of.
West Germany except Bavaria: Upper case letters look like print letters and are unconnected (or unconnected most of the time, not sure), some other disconnects for some lower case letters inside words happen, too.
Bavaria: "Latin" script, a more traditional more complicated handwriting with a lot of loops
East Germany: taught in grade 1. (There is no kindergarten class like in the US where kids already learn reading and writing.)
West Germany: apparently some states teach reading in cursive for the first two years and then start reading in print, and most states print the first two years when handwriting and only start using cursive to write in 3rd grade. Not sure if the first variant is still a thing, but there used to be kids' books printed in cursive for 1st and 2nd graders in libraries.
Bavaria: Not sure, I suspect taught in grade 1.

WASHINGTON A number of surveys have indicated that many people don't have adequate savings to cover a financial emergency.
One, conducted by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, found that 17 percent of Americans said if they needed $1,000 for an unplanned expense, they would have to borrow it from friends or family.
I've been asking readers to share their experiences with mixing family and finances. Following is one such story about a family financial fight that yet again proves what Shakespeare wrote in "Hamlet" — "Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend."
The background: A young couple wanted to trade up to a more expensive home. But, as the woman's mother wrote to me, "in order to be able to buy it, they had to show they could afford it by having a certain amount of money in the bank."
I bet you can see where this is going. The parents were willing to help, but the lender required them to sign a "gift letter" that indicated the money was not a loan. "I had everyone mad at me because I did not want to sign it because it was a lie," the mother wrote. "It was supposed to be paid back when the other house sold."
As it turned out, the parents didn't get back the $30,000 they had intended to loan the couple. "When I inquired, I was told that it was the husband's money and that it was put in a mutual fund or some other fund," the mother said.
The conflict gets more complicated: The couple divorce. The husband tells his former in-laws some convoluted tale about taking his ex-wife to court to change paperwork. "Then he threatened to turn us in for mortgage fraud. We had no idea that we had broken the law."
The husband has remarried. "He is living extremely well with his new wife because they are living in the big fancy home while our daughter has to rent a smaller house," the mother said. "If he would pay us back, we could help our daughter to be able to buy a home instead of renting. I just get so extremely angry and mad when I think about this. I wish there was something more I could do, but he said that if I took him to court, the judge would laugh me out of court."
The parents are still holding out some hope they'll get their $30,000.
"It would take a miracle for us to get the money back, and I know miracles happen because I have seen them. Any thoughts on this subject?"
The bottom line: I believe the mother when she says she and her husband didn't truly comprehend that they were committing fraud when they signed the gift letter.
I've seen this happen before. A homebuyer doesn't have enough money for a down payment and/or closing costs and borrows it from a family member. They all agree the money is a loan, yet the family member signs a letter swearing that no repayment is expected or implied.
There's a good reason for the letter, and signing it shouldn't be seen as unimportant. The lender wants to be sure the down payment and/or closing costs aren't coming from a loan because that would mean the buyers are deeper in debt than they otherwise would be. It messes with the debt-to-income ratios and could mean the buyers would have trouble paying the mortgage.
Unfortunately, the parents in this case don't have the moral high ground. By signing the gift letter, they helped their daughter and her husband deceive a lender. They put themselves and the couple at risk legally.
Let's say they hadn't signed a gift letter. Yes, moral outrage would be appropriate. If they wanted the money back, they should have had a written loan agreement. However, even with such a document, don't lend money that you need or want back. Ever.
Learn from this family fight. Yes, these loan deals with family and friends can work out. But when they don't, things can become ugly. Relationships can forever be strained or severed. As this dispute played out over time, the former son-in-law threatened to keep his children from seeing their grandparents. The money is gone. They won't get it back. Legally, they don't have a right to it. If you're in a similar situation, forget about the money. Move on with your life. It's not worth the aggravation.

In the hands of Evergreen High School, "Seussical the Musical" is an infectious delight.
The show is based on the beloved works of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. The story weaves elements from 15 of Dr. Seuss' books and incorporates familiar characters such as Horton the Elephant, the Sour Kangaroo, Mayzie LaBird, Yurtle the Turtle and many more. Kids of all ages — including the adult variety — will enjoy this comical and light-hearted musical treat.
"Guys and Dolls" opened in New York City in 1950. The show, which tells the story of two very different types of love, through song and dance, has been popular ever since. The Evergreen Chorale staged successful productions in 1982 and 1997, and is now more excited than ever to present a three-weekend run of this award-winning Broadway show.
Ron Welch, a longtime Chorale member, appeared as Nathan Detroit in the 1997 production, and Welch is now behind the curtain, directing a new cast of 34 actors.
The Wild Eye Gallery in downtown Evergreen has a new vision and is trying some innovative ideas.
Over the years, the gallery has taken on several forms, including a high-end gallery with Western-themed art, a custom framing service center, and a retail shop with a mixture of art, home furnishings, jewelry and clothing. This month, Wild Eye turned its gaze in a new direction. Owner Dennis Dunn's brainchild has morphed into a tasteful art gallery with a twist.
Barbara Wright is a mild-mannered, gentle spirit whose interests run from quantum physics to international business. Her true passions, however, are the horses that she tends to at Harmony Horseworks, her Conifer-based horse sanctuary, and art — specifically, her acrylic and oil paintings, which frequently have her beloved horses as the subject.
One of the many wonderful things about our mountain community is its musical talent — both professional musicians and upcoming students who one day might become professionals. On Saturday, Feb. 6, these professionals and apprentices will gather to perform in the Mountain Area Orchestra Festival.
Indian Hills has a rich history — it once was the summer hunting ground for the Ute Indians and later served as the summer playground for Colorado's artists, writers and creative visionaries.
So it seems only fitting that Evergreen native Steve Sonnen and his wife, Jenni, have turned the historic Indian Hills Trading Post into Mirada Fine Art Gallery, a cozy spot that manages to showcase contemporary art with an ambience steeped in tradition.
The scene opens with two women dressed as angels. They sit on the "board of intelligent design," overseeing the creation of Earth and comparing the colors of humans like swatches. "White's a little bland," says one. She's worried that "white" people might feel inferior to the more colorful people. The sadistic pair go on to assign the roles of which sex "gets" to give birth, and they heartily laugh at recompensing the men with oversized egos.
In recent years, television commercials have bragged that "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." The Evergreen Players have brought their own version of Las Vegas to our mountain community for New Year's Eve. The Players are sponsoring a rip-roaring shindig complete with gambling, dining and cabaret entertainment. This "Shake, Rattle and Roll" night should be a powerhouse party that will leave revelers saying, "What happens at Center/Stage stays at Center/Stage."
2009 has been filled with celebrations of Evergreen's sesquicentennial, or 150th anniversary. The Evergreen Chorale's holiday concert, 150 Years of Holiday Music in Evergreen, is a fitting way to wrap up a year of merriment in honor of our historic mountain community.
"We wanted to create a program packed with pieces that have been performed in Evergreen throughout its 150-year history," said Laurie Romberg, the Chorale's publicity manager.
Music and merriment return to Center/Stage in Evergreen with the Baroque Folke concert at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 20.
This eight-member consort of friends performs on early instruments, including recorder, viola da gamba, krummhorn, cornamuse and harpsichord, as well as singing in vocal ensembles. The program mingles carols from many countries with instrumental pieces, all chosen to reflect the spirit of December holidays.
Performers include Ann and Mike Moore, Sally Ochsner, Bob Baldwin, Paul Ahlquist, Rebecca Beshore, Hopi Moore-Sargent and Ruth Harvey.

The instrument-pointing frame (IPF) Kalman filter, and an algorithm that implements this filter, have been devised for calibrating the focal plane of a telescope. As used here, "calibration" signifies, more specifically, a combination of measurements and calculations directed toward ensuring accuracy in aiming the telescope and determining the locations of objects imaged in various arrays of photodetectors in instruments located on the focal plane. The IPF Kalman filter was originally intended for application to a spaceborne infrared astronomical telescope, but can also be applied to other spaceborne and ground-based telescopes.
In the traditional approach to calibration of a telescope, (1) one team of experts concentrates on estimating parameters (e.g., pointing alignments and gyroscope drifts) that are classified as being of primarily an engineering nature, (2) another team of experts concentrates on estimating calibration parameters (e.g., plate scales and optical distortions) that are classified as being primarily of a scientific nature, and (3) the two teams repeatedly exchange data in an iterative process in which each team refines its estimates with the help of the data provided by the other team. This iterative process is inefficient and uneconomical because it is time-consuming and entails the maintenance of two survey teams and the development of computer programs specific to the requirements of each team. Moreover, theoretical analysis reveals that the engineering/science iterative approach is not optimal in that it does not yield the best estimates of focal-plane parameters and, depending on the application, may not even enable convergence toward a set of estimates.
In contrast, in the IPF Kalman-filter approach, no attempt is made to distinguish between engineering and scientific parameters. Hence, there is no need for separate engineering and scientific survey teams, separate software, and iteration between the teams. Instead, both engineering and scientific focal-plane parameters are estimated together, using data taken in the same focal-plane survey. The main advantage is that the IPF Kalman filter offers greater efficiency and economy. In addition, the estimates generated by the IPF Kalman filter are optimal.

Welch testifies about dairy crisis before House Agriculture Subcommittee
For those readers following the dairy industry closely, here's the latest news from D.C.: this morning, Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., testified before the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry, calling for the committee to help struggling farmers. "If we can do it for Wall Street ... we can certainly find a way to do it for our farmers," Welch said, speaking about the need for immediate assistance for farmers caught up in the dairy crisis. Welch pointed out that New England's dairy industry needs both an immediate boost and long-term reform. The short term aid, he said, should come in an increase in Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) payments. Boosting MILC payments, he said, is a short term solution "to help put money back in the pockets of producers until prices recover." He asked the committee to consider reopening the 2008 Farm Bill, urging committee members to "recognize the extreme nature of this crisis and to make an exception in this case." But Welch this morning also called for long-term solutions to volatility in the dairy industry. "Most of the producers I have spoken with have candidly told me they would rather make less during the boom years in exchange for price stability," he said. "If we don't act now to bring about long-term reform, we will be forced to revisit the same problem the next time dairy prices crash — that is, assuming our farms survive the present crisis."Here's the video footage of his testimony:

Mauer in impressive first-base race on All-Star ballot
MINNEAPOLIS -- Joe Mauer has already been named the official ambassador for the 2014 MLB All-Star Game, which will be held at Target Field on July 15, but he now faces stiff competition at first base as he aims for a seventh All-Star Game appearance.
The ballots were officially released for the American and National Leagues on Friday, with Mauer listed as a first baseman for the first time in his career.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Joe Mauer has already been named the official ambassador for the 2014 MLB All-Star Game, which will be held at Target Field on July 15, but he now faces stiff competition at first base as he aims for a seventh All-Star Game appearance.
The ballots were officially released for the American and National Leagues on Friday, with Mauer listed as a first baseman for the first time in his career.
Mauer, a six-time All-Star, was voted as a starter for the fourth time as a catcher last season, but he competing alongside the likes of top first basemen in the American League such as Miguel Cabrera, Chris Davis and Albert Pujols. Mauer made the switch to first base this season after suffering a season-ending concussion last August.
Mauer is also off to an uncharacteristically slow start to the season, hitting .264/.373/.322 with a homer and two doubles in 21 games entering Friday. But Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he's not concerned about Mauer's production early in the year.
"I worry about a lot of things, but he's not one of them," Gardenhire said. "He can hit. A long time ago I quit worrying about that guy. He knows what he's doing."
With Mauer listed as a first baseman for the Twins, Kurt Suzuki is listed as catcher. It leads to two notable omissions for the Twins, as first baseman/outfielder Chris Colabello and catcher Josmil Pinto were both left off the ballot.
"We had to turn the names in for it in Spring Training," assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "I had to turn in the ballot and just looked at how I thought we were gonna line up at the end of Spring Training. We were looking at Colabello as a platoon or a bat off the bench. So no disrespect to him. It's a tremendous credit to him, he's taken advantage of his at-bats. And same with Pinto."
Designated hitter Jason Kubel, second baseman Brian Dozier and third baseman Trevor Plouffe, who are off to hot starts, are among nine Minnesota players on the ballot. Twins fans can fill ballots at Target Field starting April 25 until June 7.
Other Twins on the ballot are shortstop Pedro Florimon and outfielders Aaron Hicks, Oswaldo Arcia and Josh Willingham.
Fans can also cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 10:59 p.m. CT. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.

Apple raised eyebrows when it introduced the iPhone 4 with its so-called "Retina" display. Although many dismissed the screen as a gimmick, once folks set eyes on one it was hard not to notice image quality and the readability of text on the iPhone 4 was often superior to anything on the market. Apple stuck with the Retina display with the iPhone 4S, and then upped the ante again with the third-generation iPad, which features a 9.7-inch LCD panel with a 2,048 by 1,536-pixel resolution — something that would have been unthinkable only a few years ago. Now, reports (such as those from 9 to 5 Mac have Apple readying a new MacBook Pro line with 15-inch displays sporting a 2,880 by 1,800-pixel resolution — a screen twice as dense as current models.
What's the big deal about so-called Retina displays? Do they have the potential to revolutionize the desktop computing experience the same way high-resolution displays have changed the pixel landscape for current iPhone and iPad users?
The basic idea
The essential idea behind Apple's Retina display has nothing to do with the particular technology used by a display. To date, Apple is using LCD screens, but the same ideas apply equally to AMOLED and even old-school CRTs. The premise is to increase the pixel density of the display beyond the point where the human eye can distinguish between individual pixels, meaning that images shown on the display appear as smooth, continuous tones akin to a high-quality printed page, rather than a grid of colored dots.
The idea isn't new: IBM has been offering high-density displays for use with some of its top-drawer visualization and supercomputing systems since at least the mid 1990s, and things like high-end flight simulators (particularly in the military) have been using technology like this for years. The term Retina display is an Apple invention — hence the capitalization. A better term is high-density display, and even Apple uses terminology like that in its developer materials.
Pixel density is usually measured in PPI — pixels per inch — which is a bit of a carryover term from the print and broadcast industries, where dpi (dots per inch) is often used to describe resolution. At a very basic level, the same idea applies to film photography, where "grainy" images can result from individual particles on the film stock: enlarge a film image enough and you'll start to see the "dots," although they're not laid out on a regular grid like pixels.
With normal 20/20 vision, the human eye can resolve objects with an apparent size of about 1 arcminute*. For a sense of how small that is, there are 60 arcminutes to a single degree and, of course, turning full circle covers 360 degrees. The key here is apparent size, because objects appear to be bigger or smaller with distance. We're all about the same distance from the moon, so it usually makes a reference object. The full moon (overhead, say at midnight) is about 30 arcminutes across, or about half a degree. A human eye with normal vision can resolve objects about thirty times smaller. (Yes yes, the moon seems bigger at the horizon: that's an optical illusion that hasn't been fully explained.)
Here "resolve" means that we can actually distinguish the object's shape and characteristics. Objects smaller than one arcminute (with normal vision!) don't magically turn invisible and vanish from view: If there's enough contrast, we can still see them. But all we see is a dot: we know something is there, but can't distinguish much of anything about it. That spot in the sky might be a bird, might be a plane, might be a guy with his underwear on the outside his pants hurtling through the air. We won't be able to tell until it gets closer.
Doing the math
So, how does the math on that work out? At a distance of 12 inches, the figures above mean a human eye with normal vision can resolve objects about 0.0035 inches in size. For individual pixels on a display to be too small for the human eye to resolve at that distance, the display needs to be about 286 pixels per inch (PPI).
Here's how some Apple products stack up:
By way of comparison, the first Macs had screen resolutions of 72 ppi (Windows systems varied quite a lot). These days, typical screen resolutions for notebook at desktop computers range from about 96 ppi to about 150 ppi.This math isn't new: it's the same logic that lead to the first commercially laser printers offering "high-quality" output of 300 dots per inch (DPI).
Notice only one current Apple product exceed that 286 ppi threshold: the iPhone 4 and 4S. If Apple's forthcoming MacBook Pros do include a Retina display, it looks like it'll come in at about 220 ppi.
But 200 ppi could be just fine, because all things aren't quite equal. First, most people don't consistently position a display exactly 12 inches from their eyes: Some people hold it a little closer, many people hold them a bit further away, and displays on notebooks and desktop computers tend to be further away still. Remember: the further away something is, the smaller its apparent size. As an example, my desktop displays are about 34 inches from my eyes; a notebook on a tabletop seems to be about 24 inches. (Flipside, I'm sure by now most of us have seen folks walking around with their iPhones nearly touching their noses.)
Second, plenty of people don't have normal vision. For instance, I don't have any trouble picking out individual pixels on an iPhone 4S from about 18 inches…at least, with one of my eyes. The other eye doesn't do so well. It's easy to argue that folks who don't have 20/20 vision probably have corrective lenses, so the same visual rules about being able to resolve individual pixels ought to apply — but that's not really true. Plenty of people don't wear their glasses or contacts all the time, and plenty of people who don't have 20/20 vision don't use corrective lenses at all. In the United States, folks typically only need about 20/40 vision to pass a driving test.
All this means that screens with resolutions lower than 286 ppi can offer a Retina-like experience for many users, they're either far enough back from the screens, don't have perfect vision, or both.
Memory, bandwidth, and resolution
Observant readers will note two other columns on that table above: pixels and memory. It's easy for us to think of a display measuring 2,048 by 1,536 pixels as having twice the resolution of one measuring 1,024 by 768 pixels — after all, each side is twice as long. However, that translates to a four-fold increase in the number of pixels — and that, in turn, directly translates to a four-fold increase in the amount of memory a device has to use and process to manage the current display.
In loose terms, the device with the larger display has to have about four times the memory and be able to move data in and out of its graphics systems four times faster — at least, if it wants the display to appear to perform as well as the smaller version. That means more reading and writing from memory, and that means consuming more power. So, particularly on portable devices, manufacturers use processors and other components that use as little power as possible.
Again, all things aren't equal. The figures above may make it look like a third-generation iPad only needs 9.2 MB of video memory to manage its display — and that would be true if the iPad were just managing one image for the whole screen at any given time. (That's what the original personal computers did, by the way.) The reality of software development is that applications often render and load up graphic elements in video memory so things can be displayed fast. Common examples include games (where characters, objects, and other graphical elements get stashed in video memory for real-time access) but also seemingly prosaic applications like Web browsers: When you switch to a different tab, the page that just disappeared is probably still in video memory, ready to be re-summoned when you want it. The same thing is true of interface elements like menus, buttons, and scrollbars, and hundreds of things we see on screen all the time.
The impact of high-resolution displays is most apparent in these elements. Let's say a typical application icon measures 128 pixels square. On a display with 100 ppi resolution that icon is more than an inch across, and very clear and visible to most users. Put that same icon on a display with a 200 ppi resolution, and suddenly it's about a half inch square and occupies a quarter of the area it previously consumed. The same effect applies across the board: If you jam twice as many pixels into a display, everything on that display will appear one quarter the size it did before. That's a quick way to make applications (and interfaces) completely unusable.
Makes you squint
So why didn't Apple's iOS become unusable when they took the iPad and the iPhone to high-density displays? They included interface elements that were four times the resolution of the old versions — their apparent size on screen didn't change, but their apparent quality did since they used four times as many pixels to present their image. And yes, those elements take four times as much memory and storage to manage. Similarly, application developers who wanted to leverage the Retina display had to update their apps — and that includes upgrading their graphics to four times the size of previous versions.
The same thing will be true if (ahem, when) Apple begins to introduce high-density displays to its notebook and desktop lines. Most existing applications will run just fine — but they'll appear chunky in comparison to apps developed with the high-density display in mind. Where an application may have drawn a line that was one pixel wide before, the high-density displays will use two pixels. For some apps, this may not matter at all; for others, it might be a major eyesore.
There may be some apps that don't make the transition very well. The most likely candidates are games that are doing sneaky graphics tricks — possible candidates include games based on OpenGL, or other graphics engines that have had to do low-level tweaks to interface with graphics hardware. Similarly, some image and video editing apps may have performance issues or glitches — the more dependent they are on interacting with graphics hardware and drivers directly, the more potential for problems.
Are high-density displays worth the hassle?
Do high-density displays bring real benefits? The overwhelming answer seems to be "yes." Consumers are voting with their feet — and their money. The third-generation iPad and the iPhone 4 and 4S have been astonishingly successful products for Apple, and their displays have been almost universally lauded. Other mobile device manufacturers were quick to jump on the bandwagon: Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony, and LG have all released smartphones with high-density displays — many of which exceed the iPhone's density. (The Sony Xperia S and HTC Rezound seem to be currently tied for the top spot, with displays offering 342 ppi) — but RIM seems to be gunning for over 350 ppi with its next tablet.)
However, it's important to note that high-density displays have, so far, been limited to rather isolated ecosystems. In Apple's case, the company's tight reins on the iOS platform (and its sheer popularity) has helped ease the transition to high-density displays. When the original iPad debuted, it would run apps developed for the original iPhone, but they were seriously clunky compared to versions made specifically for the iPad. Developers quickly embraced the iPad, however, and similarly have embraced the high-density displays on the iPhone 4/4S and third-generation iPad.
Android is another story. While there are a number of Android devices that offer high-density displays, fragmentation means they aren't seen anywhere near the same level of developer support Apple has commanded with iOS. Yes, people can buy Android devices with high-density displays, and yes, there are apps designed for those displays. But persuading an Android developer to make a high-density version of their app can be a tough sell. If an app benefits substantially from high-density displays, it might be a no-brainer. Otherwise, most Android developers are likely to consider apps that target a wide range of screen resolutions to be good enough — and if they look a little clunky on high-definition displays, so be it.
Apple may experience something similar if (ahem, when) it introduces high-density displays for Macs. The Macintosh software ecosystem is nowhere near as tightly knit as the iOS ecosystem, and is littered with legacy applications folks have been using for years — and which may never be updated. Apple has made a number of transitions that have forced its Mac OS X users to abandon legacy software — such as killing off Classic in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and eliminating support for PowerPC applications in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Apple is now making moves to lock down the Mac OS X software ecosystem almost as hard as iOS: Apple's forthcoming Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will drive all users towards Apple's Mac App Store, and — perhaps as soon as June 1 — apps won't be able to get into the store unless they're limited to a security sandbox. It's reasonable to assume explicit support for high-density displays will soon be considered a key feature.
Microsoft will have a much tougher time with high-density displays due to the vast ecosystem of legacy Windows software that's in active use. Microsoft is in a very strong position to take advantage of high-density displays with the brand-new Windows Metro (particularly on Windows RT for ARM-based devices) but will likely have a tougher time convincing budget-sensitive customers dependent on legacy software for the traditional Windows desktop to step up. Plus, the ever-frustrating dance many Windows users perform with video drivers, BIOS, and applications will carry forward to high-density displays.
But gosh: when it's all over, won't everything be so pretty?
* — There are varying definition of "normal" vision. Optometrists often define normal 20/20 vision as the ability to distinguish letters that take up five minutes of arc; however, some definitions of normal vision include distinguishing objects with an apparent size as small as 0.6 arcminutes.

I thought the king had more affected the Duke of Albany than Cornwall.
It did always seem so to us: but now, in the division of the kingdom, it appears not which of the dukes he values most; for equalities are so weighed, that curiosity in neither can make choice of either's money.
Cut! Cut! That's "moiety", not money! I have no idea what it means, either, but we can't just go changing Shakespeare!
Shrieks heard offstage.
What now?
Standard Rules
2. Lurking is frowned upon; if you need to drop out, please let me know as soon as possible. If someone feels that another player isn't contributing to game play, please make me aware. Modkills will be handed out if replacement cannot be found without regard to balance.
3. If you aren't part of this game, please do not post in the thread.
4. You're alive until you are hammered in a lynch, or the mod tells you that you're dead, by PM or in thread.
5. If you die, don't say anything for the rest of the game except a simple, "Bah, you got me," which reveals no information.
6. You may not post verbatim or quote from your role PM or any other messages sent to you by the mod. Paraphrasing is fine.
7. You may not edit your posts.
8. You may not play to lose, act in a way that is clearly against your win condition or ruin the game for other players.
9. You may not use encryption systems in order to communicate privately or circumvent these rules.
10. Please make an effort to include me on all PMs. Mistakes happen but make me aware if they do.
11. All votes must be bolded and on a separate line. Unvotes are preferred but not required. If I miss something, let me know.
12. This is a game; it's meant to be fun. Personal attacks or other offensive behaviour towards other players will not be tolerated.
Game-Specific rules:
2. You may post in thread during the day phase but not the night phase. It is night when the mod posts a day-end post or a hammer vote is cast. Note that this means you may not post content after a hammer vote.
3. If you have questions, either post them in bold in this thread, or PM me.
4. As this is a closed(ish) setup, you may not get answers to your questions but the mod will never lie.
5. You may only communicate with other players by PM if I have specifically said you can do so. You must CC me in all PMs.
6. Players cannot target themselves unless explicitly told so via PM.
7. The night cycle will be shorter than the day cycle. No one has Day Chat.
8. At the start of each day phase I will reveal the alignment and roles of all players killed since the previous day phase.
9. If the deadline is reached and no player has been hammered, then the person with the most votes at the deadline will be lynched.
10. A tied vote at day end will result in a 24-hour extension. If a tie is still present after 24 hours, there will be no lynch.
11. You can vote not to lynch anyone by casting a vote for "NL" or "No Lynch". "No Lynch" will be treated exactly the same as any other player for determining votal results. If your character is specified as having to vote for a person for any reason, a no-lynch vote does NOT satisfy that requirement.
12. Every ability in the game is either standard or a minor variation of an otherwise standard ability (I tried to provide flavor justification for it as well). There are no hidden aspects to any of the roles. There are no alignment-changing mechanisms, no listening or spoiler-reading roles. There is a lot of vote manipulation, though.
You are encouraged to use a few of your character's lines in your posts where it feels reasonable to do so. There are some suggested role-playing "restrictions" that are intended to add to the fun. I'm not planning on policing them. One source for the full text of King Lear is http://shakespeare.mit.edu/lear/full.html.
Usage of flowery speech and iambic pentameter is fully optional.
There's probably going to be some chaos in this setup, but I count on you all to help me along there.
In the mod texts, I will be using the appropriate pronoun for your role, not your correct pronoun as a person.
7. Madge as Oswald
9. plytho as Goneril
11. dimochka as Cordelia

Don't miss our LXer Features!
LXer: Falko, your tutorials show up on just about every Linux system
administration search I do these days. When did you start writing
them?Falko: I started the "Perfect Setup" tutorials in 2003 as part of the 42go
ISP-Manager documentation. At projektfarm GmbH in Lüneburg, we had developed the Linux web server control panel called "42go ISP-Manager", and though we had an installation manual for it, we got lots of support requests from people that had no idea how to install the base system for 42go. At that
point I decided "Ok, let's write a tutorial that covers every single step of
the system installation and configuration so that people can simply copy and
paste the commands from the tutorial so that 42go runs on these systems out
of the box."
First, we put those tutorials (we started with Debian Woody) on
projektfarm.com and also on my personal web site falkotimme.com. We
noticed that we got a lots of page views from our tutorials. We
even had visits from people that weren't interested in 42go at all, so we thought that there's a need for the kind of tutorial we wrote. We created HowtoForge in 2005 as a source for high-quality tutorials, and it's open for everyone. Anyone can contribute. I don't test every tutorial that gets submitted, but I test my own tutorials to verify that they don't contain errors or that I don't omit
small but important details.LXer: When did you start working with Linux and how did you get started?Falko: I started in 1998. I wanted to host my small search engine and
web sites for friends so I bought a Cobalt RaQ2. That was my first Linux
server, and I barely had Linux knowledge then.
It had a nice web frontend
that you could use for basic things, but soon I realized that if I want to
do more sophisticated things with this server, I had to dive in into the
Linux world and get my feet wet on the command line. Many sleepless nights
followed...LXer: I notice you answer questions on a lot of forums. Do you ever sleep?
Where can people go to ask you questions?Falko: Don't worry, Tom. I get enough sleep - and I don't dream of little penguins...
I'm active on the HowtoForge forum, so people can ask me questions there.
LXer: Tell us a little about projektfarm.de -what is it exactly and when did
you get involved?
Falko: projektfarm is a company in Lüneburg, Germany that focuses on software for
Linux web servers like ISPConfig. We offer ISPConfig which is free, the 42go ISP-Manager, and the 42go SPAM-Filter. We also offer professional Linux services for companies and individuals.
When a company or individual has problems needing support with Linux
or if they need help with Linux system administration, then they can contact us.
Our job involves providing help and we actually enjoy doing it.
LXer: OK. And you got involved with this company how?Falko: I met the founder of projektfarm GmbH, Till Brehm, in 2001, and we soon realized that we both had a Cobalt RaQ and weren't satisfied with the
control panel. Neither of us saw any alternatives at the time. Some projects were on the market but they were immature. So we said, " Let's write our own." That's a typical Linux person's response. So we gave birth to
the 42go ISP-Manager. I was fully involved with projektfarm at that time.
LXer: I had several Cobalt boxes myself. I thought they were insecure. But now, I have ISPConfig running on my server at home and it's tight and hard. That must have been an objective in your development.Falko: That's correct. Till wrote to you and explained that.LXer: He wrote and said "My server was fully patched and got hacked twice because Cobalt had not released all patches available from Red Hat. These experiences lead to the decision that the base linux system of an ISPConfig server should be kept up to date with the packages from the underlying Linux
distributon without breaking ISPConfig".
Falko: That allows you can keep your server up to date with the most current patches for SSH, BIND, proftpd, etc.
LXer: I want to change the subject a little. We hear a lot about Linux in Germany. And with your country as the second largest economy in the world, just how is the climate in Germany for Linux?
Falko:It's very friendly, especially on the server market. If you want to
rent a dedicated server here, you'll find many people who offer Linux. Other providers offer other operating systems, but in the ISP hosting market other operating systems are vanishing.
Also many communities have switched their computers to Linux. I'm sure you know about Munich. Even the servers of the German Parliament run under Linux. SuSE was a German company until Novell bought them. Linux is widely accepted on servers here, and if you search for Linux topics
on Google, I'm sure you'll find many German web sites, forums, mailing lists and so on that deal with Linux.LXer: And of course, Howtoforge is one of those sites. OK. Let's get back to your business. You're on the ISPConfig team. Tell us about the project and your role.Falko: ISPConfig emerged from projektfarm's 42go ISP-Manager. We didn't sell as many copies as we thought we would. The price was moderate, EUR 189,- per copy. We wanted to sell more and so we analyzed our business. We believe we didn't sell as many as we should have for two reasons:First. we are good programmers, but we are no marketing gurus. Secondly,
the name, 42go ISP-Manager, didn't connect with people. It just didn't stick as a brand.
So, we decided to fork a branch of the 42go ISP-Manager. We chose a new name that people could remember. We chose ISPConfig. We also
decided to make it free and put it under a BSD license which, generally
speaking, says that you can take it and do whatever you want, which means real
freedom for the user.
ISPConfig has all the features of 42go and a lot of new features that you don't find in 42go. It isn't a limited version of 42go. I think it's likely that we stop 42go and merge it with ISPConfig and just continue the ISPConfig development.We made this software free because we thought it would get the
attention it deserved. We changed our business model to sell
support and services instead of software. LXer: That makes so much sense. People have to like what you've done.Falko: With a large user base, you will find users who also want professional support and want to pay for it. Also, many companies and government units require support contracts. So, we see a market of people who will want and need to pay for support.This business model works better than the previous one. And as an open source project we offer free support on the ISPConfig forum. We have a growing
and active community there.LXer: And the project itself?Falko: Right now ISPConfig has a development team of 15 people, most of them concentrate on translations. ISPConfig is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Swedish. The core team members are Till and me. Till's focus is mainly the web frontend, mine is more
on the backend that automates configuration. The borders
between these two areas float.LXer: Are you active on any other projects? Or is this enough?
Falko: I am involved in other projects. I just released MyDNSConfig (), a web-based
control panel for the MyDNS name server. This is now a standalone
application. And it will be part of ISPConfig's next iteration.LXer: On your web site you tell people that they can write you about Linux
support issues, then you say you would accept a small contribution.
You're personally offering your service for free. How can you do that?
Falko: Basically, I'm trying to help people in the HowtoForge forum. This is a free, growing and very active forum with a very friendly atmosphere where
everyone is welcome - newbies as well as Linux experts.We manage to find solutions for lots of problems there, but sometimes it's
hard to guess what causes a problem. If they like,
they can then contact me and ask for my support. I will even log in to their
systems and fix the problem. But this kind of support can't be
LXer:Your tutorials are all on HowtoForge.com. They are also on your web
site. Tell us more about HowtoForge.Falko: When we had our first tutorials on projektfarm.com and falkotimme.com, we
realized that we got lots of page views because of the tutorials. The
feedback was also very positive. So Till and I decided to create HowtoForge
in April 2005. We put all our existing
tutorials on HowtoForge, and we post our new tutorials exclusively on
there. HowtoForge is open to everyone and any one can contribute Linux
tutorials. We want to make it a source of high-quality Linux tutorials. I
really think there's a need for this because very often when I read Linux
tutorials and try to follow them, I do not succeed.Typical documentation does not describe the exact steps you have to take. I mean I see things like "... then patch the kernel". But how do I patch the kernel? What are the exact steps? In other situations people forget to mention some small but important details. I think it's the usual case. Even I have problems following existing tutorials. So, I wonder how a
newbie or even an experienced system administrator is supposed to do follow the existing documentation and become happy with Linux?On HowtoForge we publish tutorials that describe every single step.
As a reader you can simply copy and paste the commands to your shell, and
you're done. This gets the people started, and if they are newbies they can
at least play around with a working system in order to understand how it's
working instead of pulling out their hair. If there are questions or
problems, people can go to the HowtoForge forum.LXer: Your tutorials are in English. Falko: We decided to publish only tutorials written in English on HowtoForge
because English is the language that most people dealing with computers
understand.Often, when I search on Google for a solution to some Linux
problem, I find pages in Spanish or Portuguese or Polish, etc. and I think
"Damn, they seem to have the solution, but I don't understand a single
word..." We could have decided to write the tutorials in German, but that
would have been unfair for most people.
LXer: Do you have any books planned for the future? If so, what are you
going to write?Falko: I haven't planned any books yet. Maybe a compilation of my best tutorials,
but I don't know yet.
LXer: Well, you can write one with me any time you want. And I hope you will let us read more about you in the future. Thank you.

Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2013 | Runway
Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2013
Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2013
If the floor-skimming sleeves and coattails Ann Demeulemeester sent down the runway during her Spring 2013 collection reminded viewers of superhero capes, that's because they were supposed to. Demeulemeester spun the story of a dark heroine (imagine Catwoman if she hadn't been so attached to a bodysuit) out of chiffon, jersey, and small bits of leather cut into corset-like belts and harnesses.
But this show wasn't just about fighting the bad guys. While there was lots of tough black, there were also some pieces in a deep purple and an ethereal white — like one billowing style worn by Karlie Kloss. There were also some excellent suits in a silvery fabric that featured elongated jackets and high hems on the well-tailored pants.

Since 2003, the Office of the Provost has provided the major financial and staff support for the Sustainability Initiative at Ithaca College. Sustainability is not only a new content area for faculty and students to explore within academic disciplines, this new paradigm also offers myriad opportunities to demonstrate how institutions themselves learn and develop.
At Ithaca College, we have framed "sustainability" not as an idealistic "endpoint", but rather as a decision-making framework for continuous improvement. Within that framework, when thinking about a choice to be made or an action to be taken, one is tasked to mentally perform a more complete evaluation by asking oneself the following three questions:
- Is this action good for people (not just yourself, but others impacted by your choices)?
- Will what I'm considering doing be good for the environment? (or not harmful)
- Does this decision make business sense?
If you can answer "yes" to all three of those questions, the odds are very good that you will make a more balanced, more sustainable decision. And each time you make a more sustainable choice, you proceed a little farther down a continuous improvement path toward excellence.
But in order to answer those three questions honestly, it requires due diligence to explore the potential ramifications of seemingly simple actions. You need at least some understanding of the dynamics inherent in complex, interconnected systems. Striving to make more sustainable decisions requires an openness to new ideas and a willingness to become a "life-long" learner, as the answers to those three simple questions become increasingly difficult... and interesting.

Treatment Options for Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
My 51-year-old husband has just been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer that has metastasized to his liver. They are treating him with three days of chemotherapy every third Monday. No radiation therapy, no surgery. Yet the doctor says he has not probably had this even 6 months. What else should we do? Are they giving up on my husband before the fight even begins?
Charles B. Simone II, Radiation Oncologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
Small cell lung carcinoma is a type of lung cancer that grows very quickly if untreated. Unlike its counterpart, non-small cell lung carcinoma (such as squamous cell or adenocarcinoma), small cell lung carcinoma usually "responds" well initially to chemotherapy. This means that chemotherapy almost always works at shrinking a small cell lung carcinoma. Unfortunately, after some time period (which can vary between several weeks and several years), the cancer typically grows back and/or spreads throughout the body.
Small cell lung carcinoma is said to be "limited stage" if tests show that it has not spread beyond one side of the chest. If it has spread elsewhere, such as the liver (as in your husband's case), opposite lung or brain, it is considered "extensive stage." It is important to do appropriate testing to determine whether the cancer is limited stage or extensive stage. This always includes CT and/or MRI scans of the head, chest, liver and adrenal glands, as well as a PET/CT scan. It is sometimes also necessary to perform a biopsy of the bone marrow, liver and/or adrenal gland to make a final conclusion about stage.
There is little role for surgery in small cell lung carcinoma, unless the cancer is in a single, small and isolated spot (in other words, extremely limited-stage cancer). For most patients with limited-stage disease, radiation therapy is combined with chemotherapy – preferably soon after diagnosis. However, for extensive stage disease, the standard treatment is chemotherapy alone. There are many schedules and combinations of chemotherapy; the standard combination in the U.S. includes the drugs etoposide and a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) as described in your husband's case. In extensive-stage small cell carcinoma, radiation therapy cannot be given safely to all areas that contain cancer; thus, most physicians believe that radiation therapy should generally be reserved for management of patient symptoms, such as to treat an area that is causing pain, bleeding or other distressing symptoms. Additionally, radiation therapy to the chest in patients who have had an excellent response to chemotherapy and no residual disease outside the chest has also been shown to increase survival in one European study, but the results of this study have never been replicated in the United States. Potential benefits of thoracic radiation therapy for extensive-stage disease are currently being investigated in a multi-center clinical trial under the direction of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). The addition of radiation therapy to chemotherapy can increase side effects, some of which can be serious and even life threatening. These side effects include difficulty swallowing and eating, fatigue, lowering of the blood counts (which can lead to infections and/or bleeding), skin redness, cough, pneumonia, and decreased lung function from scarring of the lungs. In limited-stage small cell lung carcinoma, the proven benefits of adding radiation therapy to chemotherapy outweigh the risks. In extensive-stage small cell lung carcinoma, the risks often outweigh possible benefits.
Instead, chemotherapy is the primary treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Fortunately, there are a wide number of chemotherapy drugs from which to choose, and new drugs are being developed that may provide more targeted therapy with potentially fewer side effects than standard cytotoxic chemotherapy. Finally, there are treatments (both medications and non-drug therapies) to improve quality of life for people with this illness. Patients should talk frankly with their doctors about possible options for treatment, including clinical trials.

First, an explanation of this brief series.
A few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with an occasional Simple Dollar reader about the challenges he was having with his financial recovery. At one point, he told me – and I'm paraphrasing here a bit – that the biggest challenge he had with personal finance is that he felt like getting himself into the right mindset was an incredibly lengthy challenge, one that required a lot of soul-searching and life evaluation.
To a big extent, I agree with this reader. My own journey from being a personal finance disaster to getting my act together was a rather long one, with fits and starts and lots of soul searching. I read piles of books. I did lots of soul searching. Eventually, I found my own path.
As I look back on it, though, I realize that most of that soul-searching came down to a few key elements. There were a handful of moments that I clearly recall where something "clicked" for me.
Those moments often led to a lot of introspection, but the introspection was much like the aftermath of the key revelation. That new idea would be a big part of my thoughts as I drove to and from work, while I was walking somewhere, and while I was drifting off to sleep. I would slowly digest this idea into my own life.
So, as the comment from the reader sunk into my own thoughts, I thought it might be worthwhile to point out those key thoughts I had that set me on a much better path. Most of these thoughts require just a little bit of observation or a quick action, so I quickly realized that most of these would take only a minute or so for the key thought to catch on – thus, "eight minutes to financial success."
This series will run most of this week, but won't disrupt any regularly scheduled posts (reader mailbags, pieces of inspiration, etc.). Let's get started.
Back during my heavy-spending days, our apartment was jammed full of all kinds of stuff. Two overflowing racks of DVDs. A closet full of clothes. A small mountain of video games jammed into our entertainment center. Several large boxes full of sports cards and trading cards. A kitchen full of so many unnecessary cooking tools that we couldn't close some of the cabinet doors. Shiny vehicles out in the parking area.
What I found was that the larger the number of my possessions grew, the lower my overall enjoyment of each item went. It took longer to manage them and clean them. I had less time to enjoy the items. Not only that, the rush of positive feelings I had whenever I added something new was smaller than it was before because it had become such a routine.
Not only that, these items were a huge money sink. If I spent, say, $50 on a game and played it for 50 hours, it wouldn't be too bad of a bargain. If I spent $50 on a game and only played it for six hours, though, then it was a pretty poor bargain. The more things I had, the less time I had for each item I owned, so the cost per hour of enjoyment of everything went up. I didn't have time to thoroughly enjoy all of the things I had. Plus, I was floundering in financial trouble.
Something had to change.
Ask Yourself "Do I Need This?"
When you're at home tonight and feeling really comfortable, set aside one minute and try this simple experiment.
Go to the room in your home where you have a lot of possessions that you can see while standing in the middle of the room. Simply look around the room at these items and, with each one, ask yourself if you really need this item.
Is that item really adding significant value to your life? Is that item just one of many that are backed up in a queue that you mean to deal with/watch/enjoy/play with/wear/use/listen to later? Would your life really be worse in any significant way if you had never bought that item? How about if you sold that item right now?
Time and time again, I've found that my life on the whole is far better if I get rid of items that fail that simple test and avoid buying items that don't pass that test. The items you accumulate have a cost – a cost of money, a cost of space, a cost of time, and a cost of effort. If you're not getting enough value in return for all of those costs, you're better off jettisoning that item.
Also important is the fact when you start applying this litmus test to everything in your house, you'll find yourself decluttering at a rapid rate. The items you do have will become easier to manage, you'll be more prepared to entertain guests, you'll be able to sell the items for some extra cash, and you won't have the push to upgrade the size of your living space.
Once you start applying this test routinely in your own life, it will become second nature. You'll start looking at all of the stuff you've accumulated with a more discerning eye, looking for the things that don't really add joy (and finding that the removal of those items actually does add a bit of joy over the long run). You'll also use that same eye as you buy things, making stiffer choices about the items you bring into your home and actually finding time to enjoy the things you do have that do bring value into your life.
In the end, your bank account will thank you. You'll be spending less on non-essentials without losing any real value in your life (and gaining some space and some time freedom). You'll be improving your financial state by getting rid of those non-essentials, too.
All it takes is a moment to flip that switch.

I am the world's lousiest recipe name giver.
When I think about food there is always a fantastical backdrop, the stage is littered with metaphor and simile, and sometimes reckless exaggeration trips the actors up (although they don't mind). The colors are vibrant or soft, the textures play tricks on my tongue, the smells bring me backwards or forwards in time, and the flavours...they make me see stars, and other worlds, and limitless possibilities, and sometimes if I'm lucky, a bright green fairy that grants three wishes. This is what's in my heads and under my skin when I think of food preamp.
When I write this all down and have it sorted into a recipe, the fanfare suddenly quiets. I have successfully captured all the essentials to be able to repeat the experience, but none of the tra-la-la is left for the recipe's name.
Which is why it reads like a list of ingredients instead of something more exciting.
This could have been:
Italian Eggs Benedict (which was really my peg and inspiration for this breakfast)
Arancini con Prosciutto e l'uovo (I could have gone down the fancy foreign language path – since I am irrationally attracted to recipe names that I don't understand anyway)
What to do with Leftover Risotto Breakfast (Explanatory title)
I'm too Lazy to make real Arancini (really, deep frying is such work...especially for breakfast...especially for leftovers)
ChichaJo's Breakfast Special (um, one of those titles that say nothing really about the dish itself...until I reach my magnum opus this will never happen...perhaps not even then)
I guess I just don't like titles.
Risotto Patty with Prosciutto and Egg and Pesto
1/2 cup leftover risotto
2-3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Olive oil
3 slice prosciutto
1 egg
1 tablespoon pesto
- Form the risotto into a patty. I like to pack it into the measuring cup as it comes out formed into a nice uniform shape that I just have to flatten a bit. Coat this all over in the breadcrumbs. Keep it in the fridge until you are ready to fry it.
- Prepare your pesto. I use my basic recipe for basil pesto, substituting the pili nuts for pine nuts and almonds. In truth, I just stick (more or less) to the quantities and use any herb/nut combination I want, many times using the pesto as a final resting place for little bits of nuts and herbs! Store in a jar (tightly covered and in the fridge) with a thin film of olive oil to cover the top surface of the pesto.
- Bring a saucepan of water, with a small glug of vinegar, to a rapid simmer custom embroidery.
- While you are waiting for your water to simmer, heat oil in a skillet. Once oil is hot lay risotto patty in the pan and fry until the bottom is golden. Flip patty and fry until the other side is golden and has developed a nice crust. Set aside.
- When the water in the saucepan has reached a rapid simmer, it's time to poach your egg. Say a prayer (this is how I poach eggs). Crack the egg into a small bowl. With a wooden spoon make a little whirlpool in the water. Now gently (gently!) slip egg into the center of the whirlpool. Don't freak out as alien strings of egg white churn wildly in the water. I'll keep my egg in there for about 2 minutes (you can keep it in for more – whites should be firm and yolks done to your liking). Turn off the heat and gently (gently!) pick up egg with a slotted spoon. Brush off alien egg white strings and pat excess water off with a paper towel (Sorry Earth!).
- Arrange prosciutto slices on risotto patty. Top with egg and pesto.
These are the quantities that will serve one – you can multiply it all you want to make a breakfast for two or a brunch for 12. Despite my longish explanations above (I just wanted to be thorough), it is very simple to make and can easily be put together in the morning. You can shape and coat the risotto patty the night before and the pesto can be prepared in advance as well.
Suffice to say I have an inordinate amount of leftover risotto lying around so I will be making more of these patties. They are a bit simpler to prepare and cook than arancini (which is another reason why I dare not call them so) and can be served with many things. Try them as a side for meat or fish...or make smaller patties and place them in a salad. I think mini-patties topped with a smidgen of pesto or salsa verde would make a great appetizer.
I love Eggs Benedict but this has definitely given it a run for its money among my list of breakfast favorites. The combination of creamy risotto and salty prosciutto , bound with the richness of a runny egg yolk and punctuated by the zesty pesto is definitely worthy of a title to match any Italian aria...too bad I'm the one writing the recipe. I guess the food will have to speak for itself. Which is actually the way I prefer it :)

I'm finding it hard to solve the problem and was hoping that someone could help me with the solution or at least give me a search term to use for problems like this one.
The generalized problem: I have a set of numbers (e.g.
[1,2,3]) and a an array of sets (e.g.
[1,4,5],[4,2,3],[6,7,8],[2],[1,3]). What I need to do is to find if I can create the first set from the others by taking 1 or 0 elements from them (e.g. taking 1 from the first, 2 from the second and 3 from the last). Order of the elements doesn't matter in any of the sets.
