Wednesday Night Links
* The Utopia symposium in the new issue of Science Fiction Film and Television is especially good, if I do say so myself. Featuring Raffaella Baccolini, Troy Bordun, Catherine Constable, L. Timmel Duchamp, Carl Freedman, Lisa Garforth, Dan Hassler-Forest, Veronica Hollinger, Alexis Lothian, Roger Buckhurst, Tom Moylan, Sharon Sharp, Steven Shaviro, Debra Benita Shaw, Rebekah Sheldon, Imre Szeman, Phillip E. Wegner, and Rhys Williams…

* Fear of an Ill Planet: On the Importance of Sickness and the Demands of Otherness.
* I think maybe every literally academic I know has been talking about this story.
* The Scalia obituaries keep coming: 1, 2, 3.
* Huge cuts to ethnic studies at SFSU.
* The Troubled Academic Job Market for History.
* Never in my worst dreams about the future of the university could I have imagined such a thing was possible: Chicago State University Cancels Spring Break.
* David Milch, the storied mind also behind 'Deadwood,' changed television. Now, according to a lawsuit, the racetrack regular has lost his homes, owes the IRS $17 million and is on a $40-a-week allowance. Still, his supporters stay close: "He's brilliant."
* Yay, Bernie Sanders's radical past. Booooooo, Bernie Sanders's radical past. In any event.
Ninety percent of what I read about this goddamn campaign is utterly preposterous garbage.
— Angus Johnston (@studentactivism) February 20, 2016
* Hillary Clinton Made More in 12 Speeches to Big Banks Than Most of Us Earn in a Lifetime.
* "There no longer are any rules in the Supreme Court nomination process." I'll do you one better!
Contemporary America isn't governable with a maximalist out-party controlling the Senate. The end.

A GOP unbridled by historical norms actually has a lot of options here. Only lose if Dems retake Senate. https://t.co/fEeoXgjRUs

* Usually this sort of mythologizing isn't caught fast enough to be traced: The Evolution of the Myth of the Sanders "English Only" Chant.
* Social media, the new mind control.
* Polls and Trump's Supporters. My word.
* Elsewhere in dystopian backstory: The Virginia Senate has passed legislation that would transform all law enforcement agencies in the commonwealth into secret police, quite literally, a dangerous step in the direction of unaccountable and non-transparent government. No other state has gone as far as the Senate bill would take Virginia into the realm of secrecy where it concerns state and local police.

* Nobody, but nobody, can trip over their own feet like Obama.

* Fermi Paradox watch: maybe life is that rare.
* But mostly Fuller House evokes a smut-free porn parody, with sexualized adult versions of characters who, in the collective psyche, are frozen in amber as children. Elsewhere on the Onion's Full House porn parody beat.
* "Dogs and Certain Primates May Be Able To See Magnetic Fields." Tell no one my secret.
* Breastfeeding is probably really not that big a deal.
* Winning the lottery can also bankrupt your neighbors.
* Twilight of saying "Aycock" at Duke and UNCG.
* KSR coverage in American Literature: "Forms of Duration: Preparedness, theMars Trilogy, and the Management of Climate Change."
* Why Is Inver Hills Banning Union Activist From Campus?
* The Problematic, Sexist Subtext of Laughing at Hitler's Alleged Micropenis.
* Lev Grossman on Narnia and grief.
* The best news I've gotten all year: Milwaukee's Air and Water Show postponed until 2017.
* Blade Runner 2 is an abomination that should never have been made, but I am interested to see how they deal (or don't) with the Deckard/replicant issue.
* And Philip K. Dick is just straight-up writing our reality now.

I've been thinking all day about the "value of the humanities" and I really think it's just that it's good to know stuff.
— Gerry Canavan (@gerrycanavan) May 7, 2015
Is there serious case that the humanities advance job skills or informed citizenship? Maybe. But it's really mostly just good to know stuff.

* I've seen this movie: Marquette working with firm to humanely manage seagulls.
* Best game I've played in a really long time: Rymdkapsel.
* The Milwaukee Experiment: What can one prosecutor do about the mass incarceration of African-Americans?
* The academic community has talked itself into a very strange corner with regards to adjunctification. "Respect" is just not a good rallying point: unquantifiable, unsatisfiable, turns political struggle into emotional one. The focus should stay on the system that produces adjunct jobs instead of full-time permanent ones.
* This report that administration and construction are not significant factors in rising tuition seems totally off to me. You're dividing by different denominators in 2001 and 2011; that masks the magnitude of the change, but also hides new spending in real terms. The last student you add should be your cheapest student: all the infrastructure is in place, you're just adding one more. But these numbers show the opposite trend: spending at colleges is increasing even given efficiencies gained by adding more students.
* 'The Game Done Changed': Reconsidering 'The Wire' Amidst the Baltimore Uprising.
* If you, like us, lusted after the art deco tiling and rose-colored lighting of the Grand Budapest Hotel lobby, or drooled over the yellow Parisian hotel room in Hotel Chevalier, here's some enchanting news: Wes Anderson has designed a bar.
* NSA mass phone surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden ruled illegal.
* Andrew Cuomo, pretty corrupt.
* An Atlas of Upward Mobility Shows Paths Out of Poverty.
* The Poverty Capitalism Creates.
* As investigation enters fifth month, Tamir Rice's mother has moved into a homeless shelter. Online activists raised $60K for Tamir Rice's family — so where did all that money go?
* If you want a vision of the future.
* Some of the people ostensibly turning in those 80- or 90-hour workweeks, particularly men, may just be faking it.
* The Secret Lives of Homeless Students.
* The Hater's Guide To Avengers: Age of Ultron. Are you Over the Avengers Yet? Ultron Has Always Been a Dumb Character, and That's Okay. Even Whedon isn't into it.

* Reading the Black Captain America (both of them).
* Joss Whedon Didn't Quit Twitter Because of All the Mean Feminists.
* In defense of the Mommy Track.
* Urban fiction, or street lit, has been snubbed by the publishing industry and scorned by black intellectuals. Yet these authors may just be the most successful literary couple in America.
* 'Comedy Bang-Bang's' Scott Aukerman: From 'Screwing Around' to a Podcast Empire.

* Did a study find men's beards are filled with poop?
* We Accidentally Turned The Entire Statue Of Liberty Into A Battery.
* Halo Players Spent Five Years Trying To Get Into An Empty Room.
* I'm glad that Facebook is choosing to publish such findings, but I cannot but shake my head about how the real findings are buried, and irrelevant comparisons take up the conclusion.
* A comics Kickstarter some of you might be interested in: Bizarre New World.
* Lawmakers drop Walker's plan to spin off UW governance.
* Art Institute of Wisconsin to stop enrolling new students.

* From graduation to garbage job (literally): One twentysomething's struggle.
* The source of strange radio signals that have left astronomers at Australia's most famous radio telescope scratching their heads for 17 years has finally been discovered. It turns out that it was a microwave oven.
* "My father felt the U.S.S.R. treated him better than America," said Tynes-Mensah, a former university chemistry instructor who was born in the Russian town of Krasnodar and now lives mainly in the United States, spending summers in Russia. "He was happy here."
* How to lie with statistics, Nicholas Kristof edition.
* Portrait of a suicide at UPenn.
* You Oughta Know Dave Coulier Will Be On Fuller House.
* Woman Who Tweeted '2 Drunk 2 Care' Before Fatal Crash Gets 24 Years.
* Galadriel, Witch-Queen of Lórien.
In "Let Us Now Praise Famous Orcs," I suggested that the basic humanity of Tolkien's inhuman creatures proved them to be more worthy of our sympathy than the elves, "whose near-perfection marks them with a profound otherness." As immortals, elves are always playing a long game in which we finite beings cannot ever hope to be much more than pawns. The characters who seem most aware of this fact in The Lord of the Rings are, in fact, the orcs, as is tellingly revealed in the dialogue between Gorbag and Shagrat. They lament having to work for "Big Bosses," remember the "bad old times" when elves besieged them, and make hopeful plans for a postwar future in which there are "no big bosses." In their fear and loathing of aristocrats and high powers, these orcs express thoroughly modern, even vaguely democratic sentiments. The Witch-Queen of Lórien, much like the dark Lord of Mordor, champions a different social order entirely. I am not entirely sure that Galadriel's vision for how the world system should be organized is necessarily the better one. For those of us who are in favor of changing the world, Galadriel and her coterie of hereditary aristocrats represent the enemy, a power to be overcome, and her "long defeat" cannot come soon enough.

Do They Even Know It's Wednesday Links
* Great visit yesterday to STS at Riverside! Really enjoyed it.
* For the black community in America, there has never been a "normal" baseline experience from which emergencies are exceptions: unfortunate but episodic deviations. Rather, it has been a rolling emergency, interrupted by brief windows of relative promise. And from this perspective, perhaps we can understand the enigmatic "real state of exception" that Benjamin calls for — because from the perspective of white power, those moments of promise are the true emergencies that must be shut down at all costs.
* Indicting A System Not A Man…. Indict the System, Not Just Darren Wilson. No more Missouri compromises.
* Apocalypse now: chocolate could disappear by 2020.
* Wisconsin as a Frontier of School Privatization: Will Anyone Notice the Looting?
* Just a short rumination on the greatness of comics from Ta-Nehisi Coates.
* Marquette in the… sigh. Philosophy Grad Student Target of Political Smear Campaign.
* The potential benefit for higher-earning graduate students is "a policy accident," says Jason Delisle, director of the Federal Education Budget Project at the New America Foundation. "And who's going to figure this out? Probably people with graduate degrees."
* Ladies and gentlemen, your rising Democratic stars: Most of those prisoners now work as groundskeepers, janitors and in prison kitchens, with wages that range from 8 cents to 37 cents per hour. Lawyers for Attorney General Kamala Harris had argued in court that if forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose an important labor pool.
* New Project to Digitize 10,000 Sci-Fi Zines.
* Museum on slave trade planned for Episcopal cathedral in Providence.
* Tuition and Fees, 1998-99 Through 2014-15. Here's Marquette:
* Exciting untapped market in higher education: Colleges Encourage Graduates to Seek Second Bachelor's Degrees.
* In recognition of the evening, Ms. Stamm's husband, Arthur Stamm, made a gift of $100,000. At the time, it was the largest gift the college had received from a single donor in its 42-year history.
Since January alone, by contrast, Duke University, which educates 14,850 students on its 8,709-acre campus, has received gifts and pledges of $1 million or more on the average of every six or seven weeks. In those gifts alone, the university has already raised about $49 million this year. And yet, according to the latest ranking, its endowment of close to $6 billion in 2012 did not earn it a place among the country's 10 richest schools, a list led by Harvard, Princeton and Yale.
* More scenes from the class struggle at elite universities.
* Karl Stefanovic's sexism experiment: Today presenter wears same suit for a year.
* To remember Mandela is to remember Robben Island.
* Police officers in Florida surprised students, teachers and parents Thursday with an active shooter drill. And by "active shooter drill," we mean that a Winter Haven middle school went into lockdown as two armed police officers burst into classrooms, guns drawn, leaving the unsuspecting children terrified — and their parents furious.
* Rosetta Probe Discovers Organic Molecules on Comet.
* Homelessness isn't an accident. It's the result of a brutal economic system and conscious state policy.
* What Shakespeare taught me about Marxism.
* No capital projects but the end of capital.
* The rich want everything. They even want to suffer most from inequality!
* To draw on Klein paraphrasing Al Gore, here's my inconvenient truth: when you tell people what it would actually take to radically reduce carbon emissions, they turn away. They don't want to give up air travel or air conditioning or HDTV or trips to the mall or the family car or the myriad other things that go along with consuming 5,000 or 8,000 or 12,000 watts. All the major environmental groups know this, which is why they maintain, contrary to the requirements of a 2,000-watt society, that climate change can be tackled with minimal disruption to "the American way of life." And Klein, you have to assume, knows it too. The irony of her book is that she ends up exactly where the "warmists" do, telling a fable she hopes will do some good.
* At This Rate, The World Will Have To Cease All Carbon Emissions In 2040 To Stay Under 2°C.
* Just another average November, nbd: Buffalo, N.Y., area in the midst of a truly insane lake effect snow storm.
* Mark Fisher has one of the better anti-identity-politics pieces I've seen on the left: Exiting the Vampires' Castle.
If this seems like a forbidding and daunting task, it is. But we can start to engage in many prefigurative activities right now. Actually, such activities would go beyond pre-figuration – they could start a virtuous cycle, a self-fulfilling prophecy in which bourgeois modes of subjectivity are dismantled and a new universality starts to build itself. We need to learn, or re-learn, how to build comradeship and solidarity instead of doing capital's work for it by condemning and abusing each other. This doesn't mean, of course, that we must always agree – on the contrary, we must create conditions where disagreement can take place without fear of exclusion and excommunication. We need to think very strategically about how to use social media – always remembering that, despite the egalitarianism claimed for social media by capital's libidinal engineers, that this is currently an enemy territory, dedicated to the reproduction of capital. But this doesn't mean that we can't occupy the terrain and start to use it for the purposes of producing class consciousness. We must break out of the 'debate' that communicative capitalism in which capital is endlessly cajoling us to participate in, and remember that we are involved in a class struggle. The goal is not to 'be' an activist, but to aid the working class to activate – and transform – itself. Outside the Vampires' Castle, anything is possible.
* It's Not Your Kids Holding Your Career Back. It's Your Husband.

* I wanted a bigger, better Bayside more than anybody: Company Halts Plan To Frack 3,000 Feet From Pennsylvania School.
* Bill Cosby Is An Alleged Serial Rapist. So, Now What?
* The heart of the matter is this: A defender of Bill Cosby must, effectively, conjure a vast conspiracy, created to bring down one man, seemingly just out of spite. And people will do this work of conjuration, because it is hard to accept that people we love in one arena can commit great evil in another. It is hard to believe that Bill Cosby is a serial rapist because the belief doesn't just indict Cosby, it indicts us. It damns us for drawing intimate conclusions about people based on pudding-pop commercials and popular TV shows. It destroys our ability to lean on icons for our morality. And it forces us back into a world where seemingly good men do unspeakably evil things, and this is just the chaos of human history.
* Gorbachev Tried To Get George Bush To Spoil Who Killed Laura Palmer.
* Has Uber Ubered an Uber too Uber this Uber?
* What's most troubling about "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is not the music per se but the way it insinuates itself — and "us" — into a story about "them" and yet can't be bothered to get even the most basic facts right.
* The uncomfortable origins of "Afrofuturism."
* I have an idea for a mature, adult, fantasy roleplaying game.
* In Defense of Indiana Jones, Archaeologist.

A Few for Friday
* All Your Nightmares Are Real: Massive Mayfly Emergence in Wisconsin.
* So, I would like to suggest the following as a starting point: we should highlight the accomplishments of "high-profile" faculty members at our institutions and then show the relatively (or very) modest impact that those accomplishments have had on their compensation; then we should offer, as a point of comparison, the compensation, including bonuses, of largely anonymous administrators whose "accomplishments" will be next to impossible to describe to a general audience. This sort of messaging will do two things at once: it will undercut the notion that faculty are over-paid while simultaneously undercutting the notion that administrators are simply being paid what "the market demands."
* I would venture to say that back when societies were structured according to religious principles and everyone basically believed in God, a political or business leader who claimed to be a direct channel for God's will would've been regarded as either insane or dangerously disingenuous. Re-label "God's will" as "the market" or "the politically feasible," however, and no one bats an eye.
* It's been a decade since New Orleans' post-Katrina charter school experiment began. The results have been devastating.

Perhaps, Kabat concludes, the positivity should be economic incentives, that every new threat creates some business opportunity. To illustrate this, he shows a slide of a giant wave crashing down on a man. Then he shows another slide showing the same wave coming down, but this time it forms the shape of a hand shaking the hand of the man.
Oh, okay, so you're saying we're doomed.

Meanwhile, Some Links
* Marquette has a new president, the first lay president in its history. His farewell message to UWM.
In closing, I would like to thank everyone at UWM for your efforts to make this a great university. I have been proud to serve as your leader for the last three and a half years, and I am confident that UWM will continue to make significant strides to become a top-tier research university that is a great place to learn and work. I will continue to promote UWM and spread the word about the great things being accomplished by our campus even after I am no longer Chancellor. I will also work hard to strengthen and build partnerships between UWM and Marquette, as I believe that by working together, Milwaukee's two largest four-year academic institutions will help address many of Milwaukee's problems, drive growth within the region and increase the prestige of both universities.

* What I'm Learning on a Simulated Mars Mission.
* Harvard University has discovered three books in its collection are bound in human hide. Come now, only three? Don't be coy, Harvard…
* Amy Acker joins Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because of course she is.
* Generations of political manipulation have finally turned that sense of solidarity into a scourge. Our caring has been weaponised against us. And so it is likely to remain until the left, which claims to speak for labourers, begins to think seriously and strategically about what most labour actually consists of, and what those who engage in it actually think is virtuous about it.
* Inside UFO 54-40, the Unwinnable "Choose Your Own Adventure."
* In sum, this so-called "data-driven" website is significantly less data-driven (and less sophisticated) than Business Insider or Bloomberg View or The Atlantic. It consists nearly entirely of hedgehoggy posts supporting simplistic theories with sparse data and zero statistical analysis, making no quantitative predictions whatsoever. It has no relationship whatsoever to the sophisticated analysis of rich data sets for which Nate Silver himself has become famous. The problem with the new FiveThirtyEight is not one of data vs. theory. It is one of "data" the buzzword vs. data the actual thing. Nate Silver is a hero of mine, but this site is not living up to its billing at all.
* Why was Charlotte's absurdly corrupt mayor doing the bag drops himself? Amateur hour. He's going to be so mad when he finally gets around to seeing American Hustle.

* It is no place for children. Yet Dasani is among 280 children at the shelter. Beyond its walls, she belongs to a vast and invisible tribe of more than 22,000 homeless children in New York, the highest number since the Great Depression, in the most unequal metropolis in America.
* The governors of eight Northeastern states petitioned the EPA to crack down on coal burning in the Midwest.
* So, to recap, nationalization of the health insurance industry in 2009 would have cost no more (and almost certainly a lot less) than $240 billion. The savings in waste resulting from replacing the health insurance racket with an extension of Medicare would have resulted in no less than $158 billion a year. That's an annualized return on investment of 66 percent. The entire operation would have paid for itself in less than 18 months, and after that, an eternity of administrative efficiency for free. And, of course, happy shareholders.
* The owners of Kiko, Hercules and Leo could not be reached Monday night.
* Seven in 10 college seniors (71%) who graduated last year had student loan debt, with an average of $29,400 per borrower. From 2008 to 2012, debt at graduation (federal and private loans combined) increased an average of six percent each year.
* Academia as horror show: The Chronicle's 2013 "Influence" List.
* The end of tenure at Kean University?
* BREAKING: MOOCs don't work.
* Brad DeLong says save Berkeley by "(partially) transforming it into a finishing school for the superrich of Asia." What could go wrong?
* The latest numbers on PhDs with job commitments at graduation.
* A vote being held tomorrow and Wednesday could secure union recognition for New York University graduate students, which the administration withdrew and then withheld from them — with help from congressional Republicans and Obama's now-Treasury Secretary — for the past eight years. If the United Auto Workers emerges victorious in the vote, NYU will become only private sector U.S. university to bargain collectively with graduate student teachers and researchers — though such workers will remain excluded from U.S. labor law.
* "This comic is shaping up to be, in many ways, a departure from the sometimes light-hearted series." He's taking, impossibly, about the Serenity comic followup Leaves on the Wind.
* There's a 1,200-year-old Phone in the Smithsonian Collections.
* Good news! FBI can secretly turn on laptop cameras without the indicator light. 1984 as instruction manual.
* The NSA has been spying on World of Warcraft.
* Inept ATF Uses Children and People With Low IQs In Sting Operations.
* Texas Student Asks Campus Cop, "You Gonna Shoot Me?" So Cop Shoots Him. Dead.
* Novelist Kim Stanley Robinson (Red Mars, 2312, and Shaman) debates the merits of utopian thinking with Aeon Magazine's Marina Benjamin and political theorist Alex Callinicos.
* Nice work if you can get it: Fox News Paid Fired Executive $8 Million to Keep Quiet.
* The trailer for season five of Community is out.
* And Disney can now ruin Indiana Jones, too. This is the darkest timeline.

The vast amount of destruction created by the tornados in the South last week was devastating. It is very difficult to comprehend how much damage could happen so quickly, but it did. Homes, businesses and a great deal of civilization were smashed to smithereens. The number of people who died as a result of this vicious storm is in excess of 350 and we do not know how many are in hospitals.
How many families will have to rebuild from scratch? How long will it take? Mothers, fathers and children are searching for loved ones. What can they do next?
I have great faith in the resiliency of America. The entire country is working together to reconstruct what the storm has destroyed. I was able to contact Mike Hamilton, executive director of the Alabama DME Association. He described the havoc that took place. Despite his tears, his confidence in the spirit of the DME/HME dealers and providers in all of the six states involved was heartwarming. Mike is confident that they will not only rebuild their communities and their business, but they will work to help all victims of the storm.
As HME providers, there is a great opportunity for you to provide support in your community. I called a few providers to discuss some ideas for the role your company can play.
May I suggest that you do the following: Speak to some of the emergency room physicians and nurses in the hospitals near your location. Make appointments to meet with the EMT squads and ambulance services as well as the local police and fire departments. You can prepare a special day: "What to do if we experience a tornado, hurricane or other major catastrophe?" Arrange with a local church, school or hotel where you can hold a special "training" half day for the community.
Invite personnel from all of the above to attend, speak and be available to work with the attendees. Some of your preferred vendors may assist by preparing handouts and demonstrating appropriate products. The local radio stations, newspapers and television affiliates should be eager to give this a strong publicity push. Your townspeople will all say "thank you."
You owe this to the folks from whom you make a living. Contact me for more information at firstname.lastname@example.com or via phone at (877) 553-5127.

Checking for direct PDF access through Ovid Abstract Rationale:Microcystic/reticular schwannoma (MRS) is a rare histological variant of schwannoma which was initially described in 2008 with a predilection for the visceral organs. This distinct tumor had been reported to mainly affect gastrointestinal tract, subcutaneous and soft tissue, various glands and head and neck region. However, MRS involving spine is extremely rare.Patient concerns:The authors report the first case of MRS occurring in the lumbar (L) spinal canal of a 40-year-old male who presented with continuous pain and numbness in both feet for 2.5 years. Physical examination revealed weakness of lower extremities and hyperalgesia of both feet.Diagnoses and interventions:The findings of pre-operative investigation were suspicious for either a schwannoma or a spinal meningioma. Accordingly, total laminectomy, complete tumor resection, instrumentation and spinal fusion were performed. Post-operative histopathologic examination revealed a well-encapsulated neoplasm with reticular and microcystic growth pattern. Antoni A and Antoni B regions, Verocay bodies and hyalinized blood vessels were observed. And cytologic atypia, necrosis or mitosis was absent. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed strong and diffuse positivity for S-100 as well as SOX 10. Therefore, a histopathological diagnosis of MRS was finally made.Outcomes:The patient remains well with no evidence of recurrence at a 22-month follow-up.Lessons:This is the first case of MRS which is located in the L spinal canal. Awareness of this distinctive entity is helpful in preventing diagnostic pitfalls and making correct treatment strategies.

Here is a savory cocktail nibble that would satisfy a French host's needs. These cashews were inspired by the bar nuts served at Union Square Cafe in New York City, which is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. The cashews are best served warm, but you can prepare the rosemary mixture in advance and toss it with the cashews just before guests arrive.–Ina Garten
LC Requisite Pre-Dinner Nibble Note
If you entertain, then you know about the requisite pre-dinner nosh and how the trick is to set out something that's enticing enough to nibble yet not so compelling as to satiate. Each home cook has a slightly different take on what this nosh ought to be—and, in our experience, tend to consider it as either nemesis or novelty, nothing in between. If the former, then you probably plunk down a bowl of salted nuts, maybe some olives; if the latter, then you maybe whip together some blinged-up cheese or whatever the latest craze. Thanks to the Barefoot Contessa, no matter how you feel about cooking, you now have an easy, elegant, impressive answer to a once-vexing question.
Barefoot Contessa Rosemary Cashews
- Quick Glance
- Serves 8
- 1 pound roasted unsalted cashews
- 2 tablespoons minced rosemary leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C).
- 2. Spread the cashews out on a sheet pan. Toast in the oven until warm, about 5 minutes.
- 3. In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt, and butter. Thoroughly toss the warm cashews with the spiced butter and serve warm.
Recipe Testers Reviews
So easy and so delicious, this seems to be the theme for Barefoot Contessa. These were so simple to make yet so satisfying and pleasurable. The smell of the roasted cashews when they hit the rosemary and butter mixture was intoxicating. This recipe will definitely be added to my arsenal of recipes.
I accidentally bought raw cashews at the store and was looking for a tasty way to remedy my error. This fit the bill perfectly. I had all the ingredients at home. I simply toasted the cashews for about 7 to 8 extra minutes before adding them to the herb and spice mixture. These are the perfect combination of spicy, sweet, salty, and savory, and the perfect cocktail party nosh!

Whether we break our lines deliberately or haphazardly, the right margin has enormous effects on the way our poems move, mean, and sing. By investigating a wide variety of examples and conducting experiments on our own poems, we'll seek to understand the effect of our line-break choices and to expand our range of possibilities. Bring several poems-in-progress and a laptop, if you can.

Last exhibition piece
This is the last quilt for the exhibition 'Southern Lands' curated by Dijanne Cevaal and going to Germany and France. I managed to get the whole lot in the post today - 3 day courier to Germany. Not cheap but hopefully safe. I also managed to get the commission for the Wellington company done and in to their office. Now I am excavating the floor to find all the bills and reciepts I have left all around the house. I might even manage to cook some dinner for the kids tonight before rushing out to a meeting. I don't know if anyone will read this blog but over the next 5 weeks I intend to put the results of my daily experiments which I'll be doing as part of my 'artist residency' at Whitireia. I'm happy to share techniques if anyone wants to have a go at the same time.

Five Best Crypto Wallets
Cryptocurrency trading revolves around the crypto wallet. A wallet is a ledger file – either stored online, on an Internet-connectable computer or device, or on an offline device – that stores the keys for the coins and tokens. Depending on if the wallet is a "full wallet" or "thin client," the wallet may also store transaction and balance information and may serve as a network validator.
It is essential to pick the right wallet. Wallets are the devices that not only store one's token keys, but also send and receive tokens. The wrong wallet opens an investor to unneeded heartache and aggravation or, worse, the potential loss of one's tokens. Ease of use, reputation, and security are all issues one should consider when choosing his/her wallet.
This article will look at the five best wallets.
Bitcoin Core
The original bitcoin wallet, Bitcoin Core is a top choice for best wallet as it has no corporate identity or entanglements to deal with, as may be the case with a privately-sourced wallet like Coinbase. Existing on your computer, it offers better protection than a hosted wallet and is designed by the same team that designed the bitcoin protocol.
Bitcoin Core is also preconfigured to work with Tor. Tor – formerly known as The Onion Router – is an United States Naval Research Laboratory-engineered, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, the emerging technology agency of the U.S. Department of Defense)-developed anonymous Internet browser. The browser communicates through "onion routing," which is an encryption method where a message is layered in multiple levels of encryption and is passed through a network of nodes which strips away one layer of encryption at a time. This results in anonymous communication where the recipient is not aware of where the sender sent the message from. Tor is a necessary tool for circumventing firewalls in countries with extreme Internet censorship.
Bitcoin core works by downloading the entire bitcoin blockchain, turning the user's computer into a network node. With the blockchain at approximately 160 GB, Core will require a large percentage of the user's bandwidth to download and process transaction data. While this is advantageous because, as a node, it would make it more difficult to identify payments from your Core wallet to a Core user as the user's computer downloads network data from everywhere continuously, Core will require the user's computer to stay online continuously.
"Imagine a scientist reading about an experimental result and then repeating the experiment for herself. Doing so allows her to trust the result without having to trust the original scientists," the Bitcoin Core documentation reads. "Bitcoin Core checks each block of transactions it receives to ensure that everything in that block is fully valid — allowing it to trust the block without trusting the miner who created it. This prevents miners from tricking Bitcoin Core users into accepting blocks that violate the 21 million bitcoin limit or which break other important rules."
"Users of other wallets don't get this level of security, so miners can trick them into accepting fabricated transactions or hijacked block chains."
Bitcoin Core is available for Windows, OS X, and Linux systems. As open-source software, Bitcoin Core is free to use and to modify.
In contrast to Bitcoin Core, Electrum is a "thin wallet." What this means is that instead of downloading the entire blockchain, Electrum connects to external servers that verifies one's balance, process transfers, and records transactions to the blockchain. While this means that Electrum is fast to set up, light on computing resources, and easier to use than Bitcoin Core, it does not offer the same security assurances.
Electrum also offers customization capabilities Bitcoin Core does not. Electrum allows users to encrypt their wallets at setup or the create a "cold storage" wallet which would allow receiving of bitcoin payments, but not sending. This makes Electrum a strong candidate for an investment wallet. Electrum is also a "hierarchical deterministic wallet," in which one's key is created from a set of 12 random dictionary words, which form a seed. The user must write these words down and use them to recover a wallet, should reinstallation on a new machine be needed.
As a thin client, Electrum is prone to attacks full wallets are not. Electrum connects to up to ten random servers to safeguard its transfers. Electrum also used a process known as "Simple Payment Verification," which is outlined in Satoshi Nakamoto's "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System." "It is possible to verify payments without running a full network node. A user only needs to keep a copy of the block headers of the longest proof-of-work chain, which he can get by querying network nodes until he's convinced he has the longest chain, and obtain the Merkle branch linking the transaction to the block it's timestamped in. He can't check the transaction for himself, but by linking it to a place in the chain, he can see that a network node has accepted it, and blocks added after it further confirm the network has accepted it."
"As such, the verification is reliable as long as honest nodes control the network, but is more vulnerable if the network is overpowered by an attacker. While network nodes can verify transactions for themselves, the simplified method can be fooled by an attacker's fabricated transactions for as long as the attacker can continue to overpower the network. One strategy to protect against this would be to accept alerts from network nodes when they detect an invalid block, prompting the user's software to download the full block and alerted transactions to confirm the inconsistency. Businesses that receive frequent payments will probably still want to run their own nodes for more independent security and quicker verification."
Electrum is open-source and free to install and modify. It is available for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Android systems.
The first non-open source (proprietary) software on this list, Jaxx is a thin wallet choice for those that trade more than bitcoin. Jaxx allows for the storage of bitcoin, FirstBlood, Aragon, Aion, Maecenas, Basic Attention Token, Brickblock, BlockchainCapital, Bitcoin Cash, Blockmason, Bancor, Blockparty, Bitclave,Cofoindit, Creditbit, Civic, Dentacoin, DigixDAO, Dogecoin, DAPowerPlay, DomRaider, Dash, Edgeless, Enjin, EOS, Ethereum, and 44 other coins and tokens. This makes Jaxx the choice for those that do not want to juggle multiple wallets.
Oddly enough, Ripple is not supported, but there have been indications that the team is actively considering the token.
What distinguishes Jaxx is its integration of ShapeShift technology. ShapeShift allows for the seamless transfer of one cryptocurrency to another. So, if a Jaxx user wants to convert his Dash to bitcoin, all it would take is two button clicks to make it happen. Jaxx also allows easy wallet balances switching and a 12-words key like Electrum.
"The Jaxx mission is to support a wide range of exciting blockchain projects. Jaxx curates the world of smart-contract, distributed ledger, and blockchain offerings to identify high value opportunities for you," the Jaxx website reads. "Jaxx is to blockchain as Netscape was to the internet; Jaxx makes it easy to access and manage your blockchain world. We continuously integrate access to new projects, tokens, and cryptocurrencies."
Jaxx is weak, however, in processing microtransactions, such as from "faucet mining" or from transaction fees. Faucet mining is a form of cloud-based mining where webpages impose a type of Java-based malware onto your computer, forcing your system to mine cryptocurrency in the background. A faucet mining website usually allow users to get a share of the harvested coins in exchange for looking at several ads. Jaxx will queue such payments or may freeze should the volume of the payments become too great to handle. This makes Jaxx a poor choice for a mining wallet.
Jaxx is available as a Chrome extension, for iOS and Android for mobile, and for Windows, OS X, and Linux for desktop. The latest version, introduced after it was discovered that one can extract the master seed for Jaxx-encrypted computers to remotely steal coins, is called Jaxx Liberty, but is currently in its beta version. Until a stable version of Liberty is available, caution is advised when using this software.
Another non-proprietary wallet, Exodus is similar to Jaxx in the sense that it utilizes a 12-word seed for keys and that it has multi-token support. Exodus differs with Jaxx in supporting Ripple and its own dollar-backed stablecoin, TrueUSD. Exodus also features ShapeShift support.
"During the months we've spent perfecting the Ripple wallet, many of you wrote in expressing your enthusiasm for XRP and asking us for a timeline for when we would add it to Exodus," the Exodus website reads. "Your emails, Slack messages, and tweets pushed us to deliver this functionality to you and we thank you for keeping us motivated. Nothing keeps us on our game more than hearing your thoughts about what you want to see in Exodus, and we encourage you to keep speaking your mind to us on our social media channels and in our inbox."
"The fun doesn't stop with Ripple! We've also added TrueUSD (TUSD), our first stablecoin, for sending, receiving, and exchanging as well. As if two new assets weren't enough, customers running Mac operating systems can now automatically update their wallets in-app (Windows is next folks, stay tuned!) and we've also added support for Digibyte S-addresses. Jeez, I am looking at this list and I think it is safe to say the devs worked their butts off this time."
While the presence of TrueUSD adds needed and convenient "ballast" against market instability, it does add counterparty risk. Cryptocurrency, being detached from fiat currencies or real-world assets, carry no inherent counterparty risk, or the risk to each party – as defined by Investopedia – of a contract that the counterparty will not live up to its contractual obligations. Stablecoins, like TrueUSD, must maintain a reserve of a fiat currency to stabilize its price. Should that reserve become compromise or if the fiat currency's price collapse, so does the stablecoin.
Exodus is available for Windows (64-bits only), OS X, and Linux. Exodus supports bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dasj, Golem, Auger, Decred, Aragon, Gnosis, Basic Attention Token, and 22 other tokens. Firstblood, Metal, SingularDTV, and Ethereum assets such as DigixDAO, Tron, VeChain, Icon, Binance Coin, and Dragonchain support is also available for wallet services. Exodus also features a customizable skin allowing for localization and client aesthetic changes.
Ledger Nano S
A list of best wallets would not be complete without a member of the "hard" wallet family being present. "Hard," "cold," or offline wallets are physical drives (flash drives, removable disks, or removable hard drives) that store a wallet or a paper printout that lists the private keys (and, in the case of ERC-20 tokens, public keys) for a cryptocurrency portfolio.
These types of wallets are considered preferable for long-term storage as they are not hackable. Removed from the Internet, one would have to have physical possession of the device to access the keys and – in the case of a non-paper wallet – be able to defeat the encryptions.
The Ledger Nano S is considered the industry-standard for secured wallets. Resembling a USB flash drive, this standalone device is designed to do one thing: protect crypto keys. Designed to be used with or without a computer, the Ledger Nano S has a built-in LCD screen and multicurrency support for almost the entire suite of crypto coins and tokens. The wallet can be secured with a PIN and comes with a recovery sheet for easy wallet restoration.
The device is equipped with a secure chip, which checks to see if the device has been tampered with each time the unit is powered up. The unit is also powered by BOLOS, which prevents external intrusion on the device's apps.
"While many hardware wallets on the market feature a 'simple' chip, all Ledger hardware wallets are equipped with a 'smartcard chip', that include a secure element. This kind of chip is used for highly secure applications, such as protecting biometric data on passports or credit card information," the Ledger Nano S website reads. "Concretely, a secure-element chip is a tamper-resistant hardware platform, capable of securely hosting applications and storing confidential and cryptographic data. In other words, secure element chips are extremely difficult and costly to hack, while "simple" chips, even with software protection, require much less effort."
"These chips undergo advanced third-party evaluation and certification processes, through certification bodies such as Common Criteria and EMVCo, to attest of their robustness & security."

For Pete's Sake
Ryan Lefebvre, Rex Hudler called part of Royals game while holding twin baby girls
Fox Sports Kansas City's special broadcast of Tuesday night's Royals game had some cool moments as military members who are deployed in the Middle East were given the chance to talk with loved ones back in Kansas City.
It was part of the "This One's For You" broadcast on Armed Forces Night. One of the highlights was when Ashley Neely joined the FSKC booth and spoke with her husband, Travis. Broadcasters Ryan Lefebvre and Rex Hudler each held one of the Neelys' twin baby girls, and it was a cute segment.
Addison and Kinsley will turn 1 year old next week and they weren't all that interested in the game. However, Addison was taken with the windscreen on Lefebvre's microphone, and Kinsley grabbed the baseball from Hudler's hand.
It was a cute moment and certainly not something you see during a telecast.
Take a look:
Here's a longer portion of the interview and you can see Ashley and Travis discuss where to go on a delayed honeymoon (Royals Hall of Famer Mike Sweeney makes a cameo):

I know GemSafe is no longer valid, and I spoke with Ralph C who used to sell GemSafe, and he said AXA, Gemshield and Chubb are now good choices. Anyone have any suggestions or feedback? I looked at jewelers mutual and they were very expensive. Thanks in advance.

My Current Skincare Routine + Anti-Aging & Beauty Tips/
I just celebrated a birthday and feel like I've aged five years in the last two — that's what having two littles will do to you! I've been freaking out a bit about aging and have made a lot of changes to my beauty routine , which I think are helping. I get a lot of questions, so I thought I'd share here.
This post is easy to shop -- you can click through the hyperlinks and images to purchase the items featured. The post includes affiliate links and may include discount codes, which means I may make a commission when you click through or use my code to make a purchase. I also may have received some of the featured products for editorial consideration.
Here's a quick description of my skin — I've always had combination skin, I've started developing lines and my biggest concern is my eyes — I have dark circles, crinkly undereyes and puffiness. I'm also prone to clogged skin (I get whiteheads aka milia), so non-comedogenic (i.e., non-clogging) products are key. I recently went to the dermatologist and updated my routine based on her recommendations. Eyes are so important that I made them their own section below.
I am not currently nursing or pregnant and some of the products listed below may not be safe for pregnant or nursing women.
my dermatologist recommended that I use a mild retinoid two nights a week to treat and prevent wrinkles (apply after cleansing). I've linked all of the items I use other than this as I think it's important to discuss with your dermatologist.
retinoids are drying, so the dermatologist recommended a moisturizing facial cleanser. I'm using this one, which is fragrance-free and contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid
{Update 3/13/19: I discontinued this because I've developed some irritation and my dermatologist says that rose water is sometimes the culprit} I've been using this moisturizing toner daily for a year and it smells and feels amazing!
Crease-less for those pesky "11s"
My friend used to have an ownership stake in Osmotics Cosmeceuticals. He gave me about ten products to try on within a week I was hooked on Crease-less as it visibly reduced the lines between my brows. I've been using it for about ten years except when pregnant or breastfeeding.
My dermatologist recommended this gel cream moisturizer, which is oil-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free and contains hyaluronic acid. I use it at night and under SPF in the morning (though per below I will likely switch to an all in one for summer)
SPF — sun coverage is important for anti-aging, and cancer protection. It's also especially important for those using retinoids.
Tinted sunscreen / moisturizer
I like this for low price and most days wear it with moisturizer underneath
I like this tinted moisturizer too (I wear Vanilla 02)
I use a moisturizer from this brand and will likely try their SPF moisturizer for summer
This higher end daily SPF also has anti-aging properties, it's nice but a little pricier than any of the other options (was sent to me for editorial consideration). Buy it at Nordstrom (here's the direct link) as they let you try and return if it doesn't work for you.
Neck cream
I've noticed that most of my friends developed neck lines right around the time that they hit thirty. I've found that this cream from Osmotics visibly reduced the lines (I recommend buying at Nordstrom so you can return if it doesn't work for you, here is the direct link)
As I mentioned above, I have a bunch of genetic eye issues so I've tried a lot of eye products and these are my current favorites. It sounds like a lot, but I layer three products in the morning and use only the third one at night. This routine has visibly reduced my undereye crinkliness and puffiness. Undereye concealer used to do nothing for my puffiness and gather in my crinkles, but now I'm finally able to coverup my circles.
my dermatologist recommended this new eye cream that visibly reduced dark circles and puffiness (use at least every morning, ideally at night too). Be sure to warm it up in your fingers first to help absorption and read the instructions as they recommend applying it a specific way.
I find this eye treatment effective for brightening and depuffing my eyes. I try to use it every morning. It does take a couple of minutes to apply (read the instructions carefully). Buy at Nordstrom (here's the direct link) as they let you try and return if it doesn't work for you.
Neither of the above is moisturizing enough for me, so I add a layer of moisturizing eye cream too. I'm currently using this one, but plan to switch to this less expensive one when I'm done with my current jar.
While we are on eyes, I'll share that I currently use this as an undereye concealer and this brightener in the outer corners of my eyes. Now that I can finally wear under eye concealer I may test some out and share my findings!
I hope this was helpful! You may also like my post on my capsule makeup collection and my review/comparison of the Dyson Airwrap and Revlon One Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer + my favorite hair products.

Tags: Inflatable, inflatable's, Recession-proof
Recession is a scary word, especially when it hits close to home during the economic crisis. It is a word that doesn't affect many until they in turn are affected by the aftershock of it all. A vast majority of people won't ever be sidetracked by this recession in a way that is even noticeable. However, to those who have felt the results of this great recession, lift around us still goes on. While the easiest route is to worry and put stress in our life, this life is the only one that we all have. When you look back on these times, the recession should not even be an afterthought.
In an economic recession, I'd rather that in order to get out of this recession, that the people be spending their money, not the government trying to figure out how to spend the people's money." ~George W. Bush
We could not always affected by the great recession. Presently, my family has find an innovative way to release our pressure. Once a time, I found so many parents and children were playing together in the park on weekends when I passed by. I have the doubt why the adult have the time and mood to bounce on the inflatable in the especial hard times.
From then on, I paid more attention to inflatable and surprised to know there is an inflatable called recession-proof inflatable which is very popular in the Internet. Not only it is popular with our children, but also is very attractive to adult. Another fact is that the famous recession-proof is very easy to buy or rent.
First i nearly could not believe i can play with my children together in inflatable. Because we have so heavy life pressure, and even have no time just to play the kids toys.
The word" mom. Why not?" leave a deep impression to me. According to some actual research around our life area, my family decides to get the magic inflatable.
The recession-proof inflatable is easy to set up and use. Just inflate hot air to it in accordance with the manual. We can bounce up and down in the inflatable with our relatives when nearly I just forgot the hardness of life or the obstacles in jobs. Meanwhile, I just looked the face of each person bright up. So wonderful! It is very important for our next tough working. Just relax yourselves and spend more time to play with your children.
Here is my truly story about using the magic recession-proof inflatable. Here is your outlet and upside of it all; the upside to the way of life in these current times is that families and friends are becoming more of a priority than in the past. People are finding new ways to enjoy family time, while being a little tighter with their finances. Fun is how time is being spent, as opposed to where. Happiness is being measured by giggles and laughs, as opposed to how many souvenirs and amusement parks can be fit into the day. Picnics, parties and luau's are abundant all around, and honestly it's a beautiful thing to see. Maybe Disneyland or Las Vegas is seeing the Great Recession, but our families and neighbors are just seeing each other having fun without having to go on lavish vacations. I'd like to think that the recession was just one more path we had to cross to slow down and realize all that we have, never mind the world around us. Have fun and live life to the fullest!!
