Spiced Squash, Fennel and Pear Soup for a Celebration!
October 24, 2010 at 12:14 am | Posted in french fridays with dorie, groups, other stuff, savory things, soups | 20 CommentsToday is a special day for one of my favorite cookbook authors…it's Dorie Greenspan's birthday! Happy birthday, Dorie! A few TWDers and FFWDers have put together a sort of virtual progressive dinner party, all made from Dorie's new book, Around my French Table, to celebrate.
I chose to take on a soup course, and made her Spiced Squash, Fennel and Pear Soup. I'm no stranger to squash soup, and usually I'll use a butternut, but a crazy lumpy, bumpy golden hubbard caught my eye at the market and wound up coming home with me. I've never made squash soup with the additions of pear and fennel before…they brought a delicious sweetness to the pot. Don't forget to toast up your squash seeds as garnish. This is a great, warming soup that gets even more flavorful the next day.
For the recipe for this delicious soup, see page 80 of Around my French Table by Dorie Greenspan. Holly from Phe.MOM.enon worked hard to coordinate this party, and will have the whole round-up on her site!
French Fridays with Dorie: Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup
October 15, 2010 at 1:48 pm | Posted in french fridays with dorie, groups, savory things, soups | 18 CommentsI may have skipped last week's French Fridays with Dorie, but there was no way I was going to skip this week's. I crave soup went the weather gets cool, and this Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup is full of flavors I love– chiles, cilantro and coconut.
There's a lot of flavor packed into this coconut broth, as it's infused with ginger, cilantro stems or root, coriander, star anise and peppercorns. I threw in some lime leaves and a bashed lemongrass stalk, too. I went heavy on the lime juice and fish sauce to give it extra twang. This is the kind of soup where, when you're almost to the bottom, you set down your spoon and pick up the bowl to slurp up the rest of the broth and noodles.
For the recipe, see Around my French Table by Dorie Greenspan. Don't forget to check out my fellow francophiles' posts!
Oh, and by the way, my friend Lauren and I went to one of Dorie's book events in NYC the other night. She's so warm and she's truly happy to meet us. If she's on the road near you, don't miss her! And she's funny, too…if this cookbook thing doesn't work out for her (ha!), there might be a career in stand-up waiting.
Food Fight #3: Lentil Soup
February 17, 2008 at 4:07 pm | Posted in events, savory things, soups | 9 CommentsIt's been awhile, but Allen from Eating Out Loud is back with another Food Fight, and this time it's a pantry raid. That phrase makes me giggle in a juvenile sort of way…one of the lingering side effects of having seen Revenge of the Nerds a few too many times.
My pantry isn't super-well stocked. I don't have a huge family..it's just my husband and me (and I guess now my brother since he's been "visiting" for four months!), and several nights a week I am working at the restaurant and not home to make dinner. I tend to do my shopping on an as needed basis so I don't have too much junk lying around. Poking through what I do have in the pantry the other day, I was wondering how I could combine Craisins, wild rice, peanut butter and golden syrup into something delicious. Perhaps I could encase them in that puff pastry that's been in the freezer for several months. Yeah, maybe not. Then I discovered something I'd forgotten about…a bag of lentils.
Rather than concoct something potentially disgusting, I decided to go with a classic lentil soup that I could easily put together with things I had already. I'd say this particular pot of soup fit the definition of a pantry raid. It was made only from items I already had in the pantry and fridge (and wine rack). I didn't go to the store to get any additional ingredients for it, and nothing was bought in advance with the intention of making lentil soup with it.
I used a recipe that I'd made once before from my most favorite cooking magazine, Cook's Illustrated. I modified it slightly to use up what I had at home…dried thyme instead of fresh, a chicken chorizo sausage instead of bacon. (The other time I made this recipe, I turned it into a vegetarian soup by sauteing my veggies in olive oil rather than rendered fat.) I had a few small new potatoes hanging around from the previous week…there weren't enough of them to do anything else with, so they went into the pot, too. The chicken chorizo gave it a wonderful smoky flavor that we all loved. Even my brother, who was quite suspicious of lentil soup, asked for seconds!
Allen asked us to also include a photo of our pantries. How personal! I bet you aren't going to get any organizational tips from mine–what's in there is a total mess! This photo is of a large pantry closet in the kitchen. I have a few shelves dedicated to food items and the others are for cake pans, the salad spinner, etc. Stuff is kind of all over the place, but I could close my eyes and still be able to pull out exactly what I need when I need it–sort of an organized chaos, I guess. I also have a smaller cupboard with my expansive vinegar collection, honey, jams and stuff like that.
Lentil Soup- makes about 2 quarts
modified from Cook's Illustrated
Note: Instead of chorizo, you can use 3 slices bacon (about 3 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch pieces, or for a vegetarian version, use olive oil.
1 chicken (or other) chorizo sausage, cut into slices
1 large onion , chopped fine (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 medium carrots , peeled and chopped medium (about 1 cup)
3 medium cloves garlic , minced or pressed through garlic press (about 1 T)
1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
1 bay leaf
1/2t dried thyme leaves
1 cup lentils (7 oz), rinsed and picked over
1 t salt
ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
4 small new potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 t balsamic vinegar
3 T minced fresh parsley leaves
-Fry chorizo in large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and chorizo crisps on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave the rendered fat in the pan (although you can pour some off if it is excessive). Add onion and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, bay leaf, and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in lentils, salt, and pepper to taste; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until vegetables are softened and lentils have darkened, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high, add wine, and bring to simmer. Add chicken broth and water; bring to boil, cover partially, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes, then add in the diced potatoes. Continue to simmer until lentils are tender but still hold their shape and potatoes are cooked, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
-Discard bay leaf and puree 3 cups soup in blender until smooth, then return to pot; stir in vinegar, add the chorizo back to the pot and heat soup over medium-low until hot, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons parsley and serve, garnishing each bowl with some of remaining parsley and sour cream or yogurt, if desired.

The ten best Southern metal bands
Because of the relentless, pounding humidity and heat, a different kind of anger boils in the veins of Southern metal cowpokes. Southern metal is at all times heavy, like metal should be, but it's also lethargic at times, with a sweet tea in hand, sitting on the porch, and sometimes it's wild with beer while off-roading, or bluesy, with all its exes living in Texas. These bands have the dirtiest and most calloused hands in the metal world, spitting out a brand of attitude unlike the rest of the country. Keep reading for the ten best Southern metal bands.
See also: - The ten biggest arguments in metal - The ten best faceless metal bands - The ten best pioneering metal frontmen
10. Texas Hippie CoalitionTHC is bringing Southern metal to a whole new generation of metal kiddos like an eighteen-wheeler full of ninety-ounce steaks barreling down a dusty highway to a Texas barbecue. If ZZ Top, Pantera and Black Label Society could remember the lovechild they created back in the '90s, it would be the redheaded-stepchild trailer-trash stoner-groove metal men of THC.
9. GoatwhoreAs nasty as a pissed-on rotting carpet, Goatwhore fucks your ears with blackened death metal gutted and smoked from the bowels of New Orleans. Goatwhore is the afterbirth of the beloved darlings of Acid Bath, but completely drained of its sludge-metal chug-along, and full of coal-burning, driving speed metal. Not as legendary and groundbreaking as its predecessors in New Orleans, but ferocious enough to let out your inner foul animal.
8. Corrosion of ConformityFrom farther north than most Southern metal, but far enough below the Mason-Dixon Line that they wouldn't get labeled as "damn Yankees," Corrosion of Conformity spits out a sludge metal as ill-tempered as a Carolina Mudcat. COC was one of the few Southern metal bands to make it on mainstream radio, while still recording black-and-blue B-sides with a Dr. Jekyll-and-Mr. Hyde guise.
7. Black Label SocietyCreated in another part of the country in California -- worlds away from the South, Black Label Society captures the soul of Southern metal, unleashing an alcohol-fueled, sludgy groove metal with the cornerstone of Zakk Wylde. The radio couldn't handle this eighty-proof handle of BLS, and it wouldn't do it justice, either, because with the band's raw, hair-whipping-on-the-open-road and my-way-or-the-highway attitude, hearing the band live is the only way to go.

Surveillance Prompts a Suit: Police v. Police:
The demonstrators arrived angry, departed furious. The police had herded them into pens. Stopped them from handing out fliers. Threatened them with arrest for standing on public sidewalks. Made notes on which politicians they cheered and which ones they razzed.
Meanwhile, officers from a special unit videotaped their faces, evoking for one demonstrator the unblinking eye of George Orwell's "1984."
"That's Big Brother watching you," the demonstrator, Walter Liddy, said in a deposition.
Mr. Liddy's complaint about police tactics, while hardly novel from a big-city protester, stands out because of his job: He is a New York City police officer. The rallies he attended were organized in the summer of 2004 by his union, the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, to protest the pace of contract talks with the city.
Now the officers, through their union, are suing the city, charging that the police procedures at their demonstrations — many of them routinely used at war protests, antipoverty marches and mass bike rides — were so heavy-handed and intimidating that their First Amendment rights were violated.

This one was probably my favorite. When I suggested that Ksenya be Dolores Umbridge she wasn't a huge fan of the idea. After a little bit of bribing she got excited about it and by the time Halloween came along she was hunting everything pink she could find to complete the ensemble. I crocheted her shawl looking at pictures of my favorite Umbridge outfit and I thought the broach was the perfect touch.
Brigham took a little convincing to be Mad-Eye Moody as well but as soon as he realized he got to wear this cool eye he took the part seriously. I think he had to watch #4 six or seven times to really embrace the part but he got the tongue thing down (see above) and the facial expressions and limp are still a work in progress. We also had to give him a big belly which he thought was super cool. (notice the silver foot? Kabe reminded us that he has a metal foot).
Gideon got to be Ron Weasley - and he has dirt on his nose, and a broken wand.
Dumbledore was by far the most patient of our little spooks. He kept this full get-up on all night long and was so careful I don't think he even moved his face. I think the robe and hat turned out pretty cool but it was definitely the beard and glasses that made this one. And notice - he's carrying the Elder wand!
Hagrid wasn't happy until he found out he could have a brown wig instead of black and he could have the biggest belly of them all. We ended up stuffing him front and back and my favorite part of his costume was his tiny pink umbrella.
Luna Lovegood could pass as a movie double - her hair was perfect and she flew around in a kind of daze all night long, carrying her quibbler magazine upside down. What a darling Kodi Jo.
This one was definitely the hardest for me to wrap my brain around. As soon as we chose the theme I knew I wanted Leisl to be the golden snitch - but how? Aunt Jeri came up with this pillow insert idea and it was perfect. She was a giant ball of fluff and sparkly and the wings are perfectly dainty. She was a little hard to hold but she thought it was great fun and was very patient as we pulled her in and out and in and out of this pillow costume.
Here's the whole crazy herd on Halloween itself. I can't believe how warm it was - best weather I've ever had trick-or-treating. We hit a bunch of houses of our favorite people and then made a pact that next year we'll only stop at the houses of people we don't know just to shake things up.
Daddy went for Seneca Crane (the gamemaker from Hunger Games) this year. Although I ran out of time and didn't make his actual costume, we still did the beard and he treated patients like this all day. They were good sports about it and I thought it was too funny!
Before we ever left the house Darla (who missed her nap) tanked out. Kabe thought this would be the perfect photo opportunity to re-enact Dobby's final scene in the movie.
He couldn't keep a straight face as he held her and said, "Dobby's dead!" It was very dramatic and very funny!
Overall - Happy Halloween. I don't know why I love the costume part so very much but I do. This year Jeri and I decided we'd store them carefully and try to sell the costumes next halloween to pay for the supplies to make new ones.

(CBS News) – Gossip Girl's Blake Lively and her 'Green Lantern' co-star, Ryan Reynolds have reportedly tied the knot. Both People and E! News report that the couple of about a year wed Sunday night at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., outside of Charleston.
Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine sang three songs at the nuptials before a DJ played tunes, according to People. Bette Midler also performed, reports E! News. Lively donned a Chanel gown, and Reynolds wore a Hugo Boss tuxedo, a source said, and about 70 guests – mostly close friends and family — attended the reception.
Word about the ceremony first surfaced after radio station 95.1 FM tweeted: "Hold up, there's another story that it's Ryan Reynolds and he married Blake Lively at the Cotton Docks today!"
Kelly Gukanovich of the radio station told E! News, "A few days ago, I heard Ryan was back in town. Then today, lots of signs went up at Boone Hall Plantation stating that it was holding a private event, so no one could get into the area. I also started hearing rumors that a celebrity wedding was taking place.
Reynolds, 35, and Lively, 25, met while filming the 2011 movie, "Green Lantern."
Their reps have yet to confirm the marriage.
This is Lively's first marriage. She previously dated Leonard DiCaprio and her "Gossip Girl" co-star Penn Badgley. The actress has said in the past that she has only been serious about a couple of men in her life. The Canadian-born Reynolds was previously married to Scarlett Johansson.

I would have liked to play this game but every time I tried it would freeze up. I could not even get it to run. See more See less
Very good game. You play a detective who is trying to stop a puppeteer from taking over a town. There are a lot of HO scenes - a lot. There is some back and forth, but it is quite easy to keep track of what you are doing. There are some dialogue scenes, but you can skip through them. You will not need the hint button for this game. The mini games are easy as well. All in all, a good game. See more See less
Overall I thought the game was just okay. For a premium game I thought it wasn't long enough and not worth the price.The story wasn't great, the mini games were easy and it was mainly hidden objects. See more See less

This article is part of the Anime Roommate series.
For the first two chapters of this regrettable saga, click here and here in that order.
Hello, Jerry.
As usual, I'm unable to tell you this to your face. It seems my current ailments prevent me from getting out of bed, and your lack of concern for your fellow man prevents you from visiting me in the hospital.
The procedure is only hours away, Jerry. When this is done, I'll be a new man. Perhaps you'll see me in a new light, and maybe let go of your petty grievances. I suspect that I'm giving you too much credit, Jerry, but that is okay. When this is over with I'll be stronger than ever and you won't be able to damage my self-esteem in the slightest.
Sometimes, Jerry, it's like you're my own personal Legato.To be completely honest, Jerry, I was hoping that this medical crisis would spark the fires of reconciliation between us. What better to unite two titanic wills, two ideological rivals, than something as raw and sobering as a medical crisis? In the words of Legato from Trigun, "The greater the tragedy, the greater the emotional effect." Funny how much you have in common with him.
Obviously it was foolish for me to believe that my medical ailments would concern you in the least, especially since you wouldn't even give me a ride to the hospital. I didn't appreciate you telling your friends that I was going to the hospital to "finally give birth to that giant garbage bag full of dead babies and rotting seafood jammed between my legs."
Aside from the utter absurdity and factual inaccuracy of your comments, it was a disgusting jab at my very serious medical condition. But you've never really held back with your resentment, Jerry. In fact, I'd say this is the cruelest you've been since that week I found out I was probably bisexual because I liked yaoi. You and your friends taunted me to no end when I came out of the closet during your Super Bowl party, even though it was a very difficult thing for me to reveal.
It's called art, Jerry, and it's a beautiful, natural thing.Although it turned out that I just really appreciated the exquisite craftsmanship and characterization and was not actually bisexual, I could have really used your support during that time. Instead, you laughed at me, called me a pedophile, and told me that I smelled like I "feasted on a tomb of zombie dicks." Really, Jerry, why would I do that? At least be sensible in your criticisms, otherwise it's just an ad hominem attack. Oh, that? Sorry, Jerry. I forgot you don't speak Latin, the basis of the Romantic languages.
Thankfully I have the support of my peers online to keep me from letting your baseless attacks get to me. That, and the knowledge that I'm right. You can mock me all you want, Jerry. You and your friends can fill my room full of air fresheners or hold me down and pour Pine-Sol on me, but you just make my will that much stronger.
Regardless, Jerry, the doctors will soon be removing the necrotized flesh from my inner thighs, and half of my scrotum. You probably think that's funny, that I'll be losing a testicle. You'd be surprised to know, Jerry, that a man can be just as strong, rugged, and masculine with only one testicle. I'll show you, and you'll be surprised.
This won't cure my diabetes or my sleep apnea, and I'll still need that breathing machine at night, but I'll be one step closer to being fully independent and free. I think we should do something to celebrate, Jerry, like a party. I'll invite my friends, and you can invite yours. I think it will be good for the both of us.
The most beautiful woman on all of Facebook is no longer just enchanting your Facebook feed. She's here, y'all!
These sponges will make your hair WHITE and your teeth CURLY.
I mean, they're not that bad. "Substandard" vending machines.

Survived from a Spinal Epidural AbscessI believe I would not have survived a Spinal Epidural Abscess if I had not made a commitment to assure the alignment of my spine at least 3 to 4 times per week. All of my physicians MD specialist (i.e.: Orthopedic; gastroenterologist; etc.) actually comment on how much better my recovery has been.

The next morning I glanced into the soaking bowl, and my brain said, "these aren't black beans." I let the thought slide as I rinsed and sorted the beans before putting them into the slow cooker with a piece of kombu. I remembered my husband asking if we needed dried black beans before a recent trip to the store.
Several hours later I returned to the kitchen and my nose said, "these aren't black beans." I fished out a bean, but I already knew what my mouth would tell me. The beans were black soybeans, from way back when I was cooking macrobiotically. I still had those beans in the pantry.
What are black soybeans, you ask? They are a variety of soybean, but they don't look or taste like the more familiar yellow soybeans, and the texture of the cooked beans is firmer than dried beans like kidney and pinto. I want to say they have slight liver-overtones but I don't want to scare you off, so just ignore that. And no one has ever agreed with me about that, anyway. I've never had the canned variety, only the dried, and I think they are rich-tasting and delicious, but I couldn't see making them into a Mexican dish, so opted for a nontraditional version of a more traditional Japanese dish — kuromame. Kuromame is eaten in Japan during the New Year much the way black-eyed peas are enjoyed here, for good fortune.
The traditional recipes sounded much too sweet to me, so I dramatically reduced the sugar, adding a small amount of coconut palm sugar, tamari and sliced ginger to the cooking water after the beans were mostly cooked, letting the beans cook a couple more hours while the liquid thickened. The finished beans were slightly sweet and salty.
When the beans were ready to eat, my husband stir-fried some veggies in our gorgeous new wok while I took enough beans for supper from the slow cooker and placed them in a small pot. I used tapioca starch to thicken some of the cooking liquid, and added tomatoes, green onions, and Korean red pepper.
The next night I took the leftover beans and liquid, and added them to a hotpot with stir-fried tofu, shredded cabbage, carrots and broccolini. I added some porcini powder to the stock for a little extra depth. (I wouldn't use broccolini again this way because the stems got unpleasantly mushy. I think cauliflower would have been a better choice.)

blahblahblah. I've been nominated for the Top 25 vegan bloggers in the Mom's circle of friends. I don't exactly fit the profile of a young mom raising kids, but hey, I AM a mom and I raised three vegan boys.
My rank is steadily slipping from a "high" of #23 to my current rank at #30. I'm OK with that, but it would be more fun to be in the top 25. I'd be honored to have your vote(s). You can vote once every 24 hours. :D

Calgary Police have arrested a man after a standoff that lasted several hours in the northeast community of Pineridge.
At around 4 p.m. on Sunday, police responded to a domestic call at the home but soon called for the support of a tactical team and a K-9 unit after they were told the man was reportedly armed.
Several hours later, the man came out of the home but refused to comply with their instructions.
Officers took the man into custody with a "less lethal" rubber round.
He was transported to the Peter Lougheed Hospital for treatment and is listed in serious, but stable, condtion.
No one was injured in the initial domestic call.
The investigation continues.

Dr. Popp, the First Computer Virus, and the Purpose of Human Life: Studies in Crap Gapes At Popular Evolution

Discovered at: "Borrowed" from Your Crap Archivist's old job in a Harvard alumni office
The Cover Promises: The worst A Chorus Line ever.
Representative Quotes:
"With the reproductive imperative always in mind, this book offers an unadorned explanation of the purpose of human life and how we can fulfill that purpose." (page xv)
"See that your children get a good eighth grade education . . . Avoid smoking tobacco unless you are a teenager who would otherwise not be having sexual intercourse . . . Individuals should not use any form of contraception . . . Keep no pets. Have another child or help a relative have another child instead." (page 260)
By my count, Harvard-trained evolutionary biologist Joseph L. Popp managed at least four wholly unique accomplishments before his death in 2007:
Studying hamadryas baboons in East Africa for fifteen years.
Opening a butterfly sanctuary in upstate New York.
Self-publishing Popular Evolution, a "new model for the ultimate kind of self-help "that argues that humanity's only purpose is "maximizing reproductive success" and points out, as a point for further research, that "Rape appears as a reproductive strategy in other species."
Mailing out 20,000 floppy disks containing a computer virus aimed at holding hostage the world's accumulated knowledge of AIDS.
Let's look at that last one first.
According to accounts in the British press, in December, 1989, Popp sent out his diskettes to attendees of the World Health Organization's international AIDS meeting. Labeled "AIDS Information - Introductory Diskettes," the disks contained a Trojan devised by Popp.
After a certain number of reboots, a bug encrypted the hard disk's directory, hiding all files and flashing a message instructing users to send a couple hundred bucks to a postal box in Panama. (The Guardian reports that Popp had suffered a mental collapse after being turned down for a WHO job.)
There's some question as to whether this constituted blackmail. Soon after his arrest and extradition to England, where one medical organization reported having lost a decade's worth of research, Popp took to wearing a cardboard box on his head. Soon, he was pronounced unfit to stand trial.
Stranger still, Popp had packed a leaflet with the diskettes the offered the bluntest terms-of-use statement in computer history:
"These program mechanisms will adversely affect other program applications on microcomputers. You are hereby advised of the most serious consequences of your failure to abide by the terms of this license agreement: your conscience may haunt you for the rest of your life; you will owe compensation and possible damages to PC Cyborg Corporation; and your microcomputer will stop functioning normally.''
Forget all that evolution business! Popp should have been working for Microsoft!
Popular Evolutionary
Shipped back to the U.S., a chastened Dr. Popp wound up in Lake Jackson, Texas, where eleven years later he published Popular Anthropology. At first glance, it might seem like satire or a "thought experiment" or a stab at maintaining that "unfit to stand trial" designation. Unfortunately, it seems to be entirely earnest.
Its thesis is simple:
"Start reproduction early, preferably at puberty, have a long reproductive life, and maximize your reproductive success."
Or, even more baldly:
"If you are a man, find a fertile woman; if you are a woman, find a fertile man."
In the opening pages, Popp pronounces traditional religion, morals, and ethics as all unsuited to the age of science. Instead, he proposes we live by an "evolutionary ethic," one that stands up to a culture hellbent on staunching our reproductive potential. He explains why breastfeeding should be legislated against ("it suppresses ovulation in the mother") and points out that "rather than increase reproductive success, the pathological search for true love reduces it."
He even proposes this amendment to the constitution:
"The maximization of reproductive success is an undeniable right afforded to all."
For over 250 pages, Popp holds the issues of the day to the evolutionary ethic..
Chastity and Celibacy:
"If chastity, celibacy, environmentalism, or homosexuality cause a person to fail to reproduce, it is the equivalent of a preproductive death of that person in terms of evolutionary consequences."
"Euthanasia may be justifiable under carefully controlled circumstances for those in the final stages of a terminal disease and who are unable to reproduce or to be of assistance to others."
"One recent nominee for Surgeon General during the Clinton administration built his entire career largely on suppressing the reproductive health of teenagers. This linkage between the post of Surgeon General and antigenitivism would be fine material for an expose."
"In the strange environment in which we currently live, there is an an inverse correlation between wealth and reproductive success. In this sense, if you are dedicated to gambling look at it as a dependable way to reduce your wealth and thereby increase the number of children you will have, rather than hold the unrealistic notion that it is a way to get rich. Four hundred billion dollars is spent on gambling in America each year. That may not by itself be enough to turn around the low rates of reproduction in America, but it is a large step in the right direction."
"I do not intend to argue that the morality of the evolutionary ethic maintains that politicians should not lie, rather if they do lie, the lies should be ones that increase the reproductive success of their constituents."
Shocking Detail:
Popp suggests these "policies that would help elevate the teenage birth rate."
Low levels of socioeconomic modernization
A lack of openness about sexuality
A relatively small percentage of household income distributed to the low-income population by wage-structure
A low minimum legal age for marriage
The key to achieving Popp's vision?
Pop quiz!
RNC platform or Popp's factors that increase adult fertility?
Rural living
Less education
Less income
Fewer working women
Less abortion due to legal prohibition
Less use of modern contraceptive techniques
Early marriage
Less openness about homosexuality and lesbianism
Ignorance of the doctrine of environmentalism
In the chapter "The Meaning of Life," Popp admits that the long, lonely hours that go into book-writing mean he hasn't done much to maximize his reproductive success. But it might someday.
He writes,
"I have an unspoken contract with my readership: I will help to enhance their reproductive success, and they will compensate me with something that I hope to convert, perhaps with difficulty, to reproductive success."
But I thought money made you less likely to have kids! Still, his money might help you. If, someday, a trip to the Joseph L. Popp Butterfly Sanctuary gets you in the mood for some loving, he's done his job from beyond the grave!
(For a fuller account of Popp's virus misadventure, including his scribbling "DR POPP HAS BEEN POISONED" on a WHO official's suitcase, see Steve Connor's excellent December, 1991, Independent piece "Dr. Popp and the Trojan Horse" and the hacker history Approaching Zero by Paul Mungo and Bryan Glough.)

The seizure (and subsequent release) of activist Cindy Sheehan and the ejection of a congressperson's wife during Bush's State of the Union address have made headlines recently. But the following item is just now starting to gather steam. Time reports:
But on the same evening that President Bush was lauding democracy and freedom, there was one other person in attendance whose rights were infringed upon. The man, who did not want his identity revealed after the disturbing incident, was a personal guest of Florida Democrat Alcee Hastings. He is a prominent businessman from Broward County, Florida who works with the Department of Defense-and has a security clearance. After sitting in the gallery for the entire speech, he was surrounded by about ten law enforcement officers as he exited the chamber and whisked away to a room in the Capitol.
For close to an hour the man, who was born in India but is an American citizen, was questioned by the Police, who thought he resembled someone on a Secret Service photo watch list, according to Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer. Eventually, the police realized it was a case of mistaken identity and let him go. Gainer has assured Hastings that the Capitol Police, Secret Service and FBI will investigate why the man was detained for so long, and try to "sharpen our procedures." But the man was "very, very scared" by the incident, says Fred Turner, a spokesperson for Hastings. On Tuesday night, he told the congressman that the experience was "maybe just the price of being brown in America," Turner says.
"He shouldn't have gone through the ringer as long as he did," Gainer says. "He did get caught up in the morass of Secret Service FBI, Capitol Police. Everybody was trying to figure out whether he was a threat. And he absolutely, unequivocally clearly was not." Gainer apologized to the man afterwards, only one of the many apologies he has had to make this week.
Great – the shoot first, apologize afterwards policy that worked so well in stopping that brown-skinned UK bomber seems to be starting to take hold here in the United States too. If you remember:
Electrician Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead on 22 July, 2005, by police who mistook him for one of four would-be suicide bombers who attacked London's transport system the previous day.
But when it emerged that the 27-year-old Brazilian was not the man they thought he was – and that his death had been a mistake – Sir Ian described it as a tragedy for which the police accepted full responsibility.
If nothing else, this should come as a rude reminder to the desis here who think they have nothing in common with Latinos or African Americans or Arab Americans. However, as this eloquent comment on dailykos by user Sanjay illustrates, more and more folks are waking up:
I have lived in the United States for 21 years and have been a citizen for the last 8 years. I recently returned from one of my regular trips to India, my country of origin. As I was chatting with an old high school friend about nothing in particular, he suggested that may be I should think about purchasing some property in India. Out of curiosity I asked him why. And he said (paraphrasing) – well, even though the U.S. welcomes everyone and is an immmigrant-friendly country, I find some recent news disturbing and who knows when you might get kicked out or life made so difficult for you that you may have to leave. If that happens, you can always come back here.
I was aghast. Never before had I thought of this, never before had I imagined that political or social circumstances would force me out of the country. I just looked at him in shock for a few seconds and mumbled – ok, I'll think about it.
Are my friend's worst fears going to come true in the next decade? or two? Forget about me, what might happen to my young children, who happen to be like me, brown?
Gotta go – the black car with tinted windows that's parked outside is blocking my driveway.

they have about 240 or so to the wheels. and 300 crank which are two totally different numbers... Dani with those mods, your car will whoop the crap out of him. (assuming he is truly stock)
keep it in the dirt.

If that Evo's totally bone stock, it's not at 300. I believe they run around 271.
My car is well, it's like 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag...

That's what I thought-I did'nt say anything like 'no way' or challenge his #s...I know better than to 'bench race' this person as according to him he is the fastest and best driver around(has a rallye card from europe so he says). I'm not telling him anything about my car just that it is a stock 'x that had a bad piston that's getting repaired. That way when we go to the track maybe I can put some egg on his face... NEW QUESTION: there is an extra breather hole on the STI block...comes up from the center of the case. There is one on the wrx block and two on the STI...should I plug this?

I "stole" one of your look, Christine. I really love both Centre Stage and Dalliance and often wear them together. Last night, I decided to ramp it up by putting some UD Haight (very like Odalisque) in the crease as well and it was lovely. I had Desert Rose on my cheeks, Laugh a Lot on my lips and I even wet the Dalliance to apply under my eyes, as you did in one of your looks – something I'd never done before – and loved it. I'll be wearing this look a lot, I think.
Sugarpill. Ooodles and oodles of Sugarpill. Dollipop and Goldilux to be specific.
I did a look with lots of yellow and green. I loved it!
I've been totally enamored with my Coastal Scents Think Pink palette. It's really way better than I was expecting and I have been using it almost every day for the last week.
I did a super simple look yesterday, just a shimmery beige on the lid, with a darker beige in the crease, a shimmery champagne in the inner corner and a satin-finish off-white higlight, but I used liquid liner for the first time! It turned out okay, but I still need to experiment with making wings. I finished it off with some mascara. I used a neutral blush on my cheeks, a cheek highlight and a nude-pink lipstick topped with a pink gloss. Still excited about the liquid liner though 🙂
My pink and grey face of yesterday: Glamora Castle eyeshadow on outer lid, no-name light pink on the inside, drugstore grey eyeliner, Amazon Princess blush, Revlon Primrose lipstick with MAC Cultured lipglass over it.
I used a light hand with it to make sure it didn't look too juvenile or clownish (I'm 46).
My pink and grey face of yesterday: Glamora Castle eyeshadow on outer lid, no-name light pink on the inside, drugstore grey eyeliner, Amazon Princess blush, Revlon Primrose lipstick with MAC Cultured lipglass over it.
I used a light hand so I didn't look clownish or juvenile (I'm 46, anything too drastic looks silly on me now).
My favorite look this week was a daytime smokey eye. I used Rock & Republic (R&R) Diffused (light satiny taupe) on the lid, MAC Brun in the crease and blended up to brow bone, MAC Ricepaper on browbone and inner corner, and R&R Fatalistic (matte black) on the outer V. I used MAC Mighty Aphrodite (the lighter side)on the cheeks and MAC Shy Girl and Revlon Nude Lustre on the lips. When I went to Lush to pick up some stuff, the sales girl asked if I had just gotten my makeup done. That made my day!
recently I go for a very classic look: just tinted moisturizer, no powder, defined brows. burle(mac) or even nothing on the lid and just a hint of crease with a very light matte taupe by inglot (the number rubbed of the jar), a very thin, slightly winged black eyeliner and lenthenig mascara (l'extreme by lancome).
light conturing and a hint of well dressed blush or springsheen.
on the lips just carmex or a red lipstick dabbed on with a finger on the middle of my lips.
What I'm wearing today! Its a version of the promo for Viva Glam Gaga 2!
face: MAC Prolong Wear foundation, MUFE HD powder, plum Clinique blush for contour (i think it's Plum Gorgeous).
Upper Lid: Painterly paintpot, UD Sin on the lid, UD Naked in the crease, UD Virgin and MAC Vapour for highlight on brow and inner lid/tear duct, Blacktrack fl, L'Oreal Million Lashes (top only)
Lower Lid: UD Whiskey, UD Buck, a matte MAC brown i cant remember the name of
lips: MAC Plink!
I did a look with neutrals on the lid and a pop of bright teal along the lower lash line. It came together really well!
My look for Valentine's Day, all Urban Decay : Uzi + Minx + Smog.
(Actually you can see it in my blog in the English version page).
Going to a birthday party, did a neutral smokey eye. Grain all over the lid. wedge as a diffused crease with embarked more defined in the crease and along the lower lash line. Blacktrack fluidline on the tightline and carbon on the upper lash line. pencil liner never seems to stay put on my upper lash line, where as liquid/gel liner is a little too harsh for a smokey eye!

Bill Withers | The Essential Bill Withers (Legacy)
Sep. 19, 2013
Disc two of this career compilation shows that around 1975, Bill Withers, one of the most talented voices in ŌĆÖ70s soul, declined. Not that he literally lost his voiceŌĆöthe man could still singŌĆöbut the songs he wrote after the mid-ŌĆÖ70s were often formulaic. ŌĆ£Quiet stormŌĆØ ballads alternated with OK funk, an intriguing number was followed by schmaltz. The real deal is on disc one, where his earliest recordings are heard. With ŌĆ£AinŌĆÖt No SunshineŌĆØ and ŌĆ£GrandmaŌĆÖs Hands,ŌĆØ Withers brought blues into the moment, and on ŌĆ£Use Me,ŌĆØ powered by wickedly insinuating syncopation, he nailed the calculus of desire as well as any songwriter.

Let's hope his suppliers over the next 12 months will be as meticulous about the quality of their merchandise, though let's face it, most people would be pushed to tell whether their after dinner spliff had been sprayed with DDT or fertilised with the well-rotted ordure of last year's Derby winner. I know I couldn't.
When I talked about the Welsh Connection to my friend Lester Grindspoon yesterday, his chief concern was that even now Mr Mann was being prescribed some really dangerous drug to relieve his arthritic symptoms by well-meaning prison authorities - aspirin for instance.
Sorry, have I mentioned my friend Lester before? His full title is Dr Lester Grindspoon, Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University Medical School. We first became acquainted when I published an account of the extraordinary effects that smoking cannabis has on my appalling eyesight - I have a tiresome condition known as RP, retinitis pigmentosa. Professor Grindspoon immediately sent me a copy of his latest book on cannabis, Marijuana - The Forbidden Medicine, a sequel to his best-seller Marijuana Reconsidered, first published in 1977 and recently reissued by Harvard University Press in their all time classic series.
To describe Professor Grindspoon as being in favour of cannabis is a bit like calling Michael Schumacher a Sunday motorist. Professor Grindspoon reckons that in years to come people will regard the first decade of the next millennium in medical terms as the cannabis decade, in much the same way as they associate penicillin with the Forties. "They'll call it the wonder drug, and that's precisely what it is," he told me on the phone from Massachusetts. "No side-effects; no one's ever died from using cannabis. Do you know that in the US up to 2,000 people die from aspirin poisoning every year? Cannabis not only works for RP, glaucoma, MS, arthritis and weight recovery for Aids victims, but it's absolutely safe."
I said gloomily that I wished he'd been on the radio phone-in I did the other day. In the blue corner me pro-cannabis; in the red corner a fierce Glaswegian drugs counsellor who said she could give us 20 case histories of hardened heroin addicts who had started out smoking pot. "Ah, the gateway hypothesis," said Professor Grindspoon. "It's never been proved. On the contrary, they did a survey the other day where they questioned 100 heroin addicts about the drugs they'd started out taking. Ninety-eight per cent said coffee, 95 per cent said alcohol, 92 per cent said Coca-Cola. Very few of them had ever smoked pot."
Two years ago Lester and the then US attorney General Ramsey Clarke made an 11th-hour mercy dash to Kuala Lumpur where an American tourist, Kelly Wiley, had been found guilty of possessing cannabis and was due to be executed in a couple of days. The chief prosecutor told Lester cheerfully that he'd already had 100 Malaysians executed for possession, but hanging his first American would almost certainly result in a top government job. Lester had brought with him X-rays of Wiley's arm, which had been injured in an accident 20 years earlier. The bones had never properly healed, and to relieve the pain Wiley regularly used cannabis. The judge studied the X-rays, Wiley got off, the prosecutor never got his top government job. "Tell your readers, if they're interested they can log on to our website for all the latest medical information we've collated on the subject," says Lester. "I'm now working on another book, The Uses of Marijuana, which spreads the net much wider, illustrating how useful creative artists have found it in their work."
It suddenly occurs to me that among the sackloads of mail I got following my dope-smoking piece there was a slim green paperback called Cooking with Ganja by someone calling himself simply "Eric". Good heavens, could that possibly be the arthritic grandfather from Pembroke Dock currently detained at Her Majesty's pleasure? If it is, thanks Eric. The all-in- one sponge space-cake was delicious; as for the filo parcels with ricotta, basil and bud - mmm, wonderful. If I were charitable I'd do a Sydney Carton and stand in for you - heaven knows I broadcast my crime often enough and, what's more, that my kids supply me - but hang on, was that a knock on the door?

Recently, we received a Cabria stroller to review. If you have been following my blog, you know that we love reviewing strollers. I am not ashamed to admit that I have a few strollers in the back of my minivan for different occasions/needs.
The first thing you should know about the Cabria is that it is a light weight stroller. At only 13.5 lbs, it can hold a child up to 55 lbs. It comes with all of the basic essentials that a mom looks for in a stroller. It has a cup holder and a removable organizer/pouch that could hold 1 drink, a wallet, cell phone and car keys. It is somewhat difficult to see from this photo, but this stroller does come with a storage basket that's a decent size.
One of my favorite part of the stroller is how large the canopy is. It provides plenty of privacy as well as protection from the sun for my little guy.
Since baby G is a year old now, he is all about snacking in the stroller when we are out. I love that this stroller has a cup holder for his bottle as well as a snack holder for him.
Another wonderful feature this stroller has is its 3 second fold function. Although it was hard figuring out the 3 second fold the first time, it does get much easier once I practiced a few times. I figured out that as long as the tires are lined up correctly, then the stroller could be folded quickly and easily. Once it is folded, this full size stroller will only take up as much room as the size of an umbrella stroller in the trunk of you car. As such, I think this is a great stroller for parents with smaller cars.
The stroller does recline so that your little one could lay down if needed. If we are out and baby G gets tired, he would lay down to take a nap in the stroller. As I have mentioned before, baby G is all about snacking in his stroller now. He eats and makes huge messes regularly. Although this stroller has a removable cushion so that I could clean it up, I found that I could also just use baby wipes to wipe the icky stuff off after baby G snacks in it.
At $169.99, this stroller is affordable. It has the weight of a compact stroller, but it has great features that a full size stroller offers too. Although you are not going to be able to take this stroller for a jog or walk on the beach with it (due to size of the wheels); if you are city dweller, you will find this stroller to suit your needs without breaking the bank.
To buy this stroller, please visit the Combi website to locate an online store or a store near you.

After winning 18 games as a 22 year old last year, Trevor Cahill is off to a nice start again this season as he's 3-0 in his five starts with a 2.30 ERA.
So far this season, his strikeouts (23 percent per batter, up from 15 percent last year) and whiff rate (.202 per swing from .164) are up, and his control is better (six percent walks and hit batsmen per batter, down from eight percent), which has more than compensated for a slight dip in groundball rate (down about 10 percentage points from last year).
Expecting to find something startling different in either his pitch selection or results in 2011 compared to the previous two years, I classified all of Cahill's regular season PITCHf/x games and began to look for potential differences.
Cahill's tools
The first thing to observe in Cahill's game is how he mixes his pitches. Cahill is a sinkerball pitcher, throwing an 86-92 mph sinking two-seam fastball over 55 percent of the time in his career. The pitch gets a ground ball about 57 percent of the time it is put in play, which is substantially above average for two-seamers. He'll also throw some four-seam fastballs that are harder (91 mph) and have less movement.
He'll throw a changeup, typically around 80 mph, to both left- and right-handed hitters. His other two pitches, a curveball (high 70s) and slider (low 80s), have been at the center of the most adjustment in his young career. Below are two graphs that show Cahill's pitch mix in each major league start. The one on the left is against left-handed batters, and the one on the right is against right-handed batters.
When he first came up, Cahill used his slider a lot—mostly against righties, but plenty to lefties as well. The curve was a rare bird in 2009, representing less than three percent of his total pitches. At the start of the 2010 season, you can see that Cahill abandoned (only five in all of 2010) his slider against lefties but kept throwing it against righties.
At the same time, his curveball started to become an important piece in his repertoire—for a time from August to September of 2009, he appeared to ditch the curve completely (especially in '09, his curve and slider would blend together a little bit, so there is some subjectivity in the pitch IDs), but his reliance on it increased in 2010. Throughout the season he used both, but as you can see from the graph, he typically wouldn't mix them both evenly within a start. Sometimes he would be more curve-heavy, other times more slider-heavy.
Finally, you may notice that there's no more "green" on the last few bars. Cahill has not thrown a single slider all year long. As a result, he's throwing a lot more curveballs as his out-pitch against righties.
Cahill's results
So, other than the missing slider, what's changed about Cahill? I looked at some performance metrics on Cahill this year compared to the previous two years, and most things look pretty much similar.
Whiff rates (swings and misses per swing) and watch rates (takes on pitches inside the strike zone) are two of my preferred tools for looking at a pitcher's ability to get strikes. The table below shows those and a few of my other favorite metrics for Cahill's pitches in 2009-2010.
By the way, I'm showing two new ones today – pERA and pxERA. It's just the run values I usually work with, except they're formatted to look like ERAs – pERA (pitch ERA) is from outcome-based run values and pxERA (pitch expected-ERA) is from batted-balled type-based run values. It's not exact and probably doesn't add a whole lot, but I wanted to try it out and see if it's more intuitive than straight run values.
# | Swing Rate | Whiff Rate | Zone Rate | Watch Rate | Ball Rate | GB Rate | pERA | pxERA | |
Sinker | 3317 | .426 | .105 | .468 | .419 | .382 | .573 | 3.42 | 4.77 |
Fastball | 728 | .331 | .100 | .453 | .509 | .451 | .272 | 4.56 | 5.22 |
Changeup | 1119 | .493 | .317 | .388 | .272 | .397 | .534 | 1.31 | 3.49 |
Curveball | 472 | .301 | .345 | .341 | .516 | .489 | .560 | 4.85 | 3.48 |
Slider | 381 | .373 | .254 | .454 | .410 | .430 | .381 | 6.46 | 6.08 |
6017 | .414 | .174 | .441 | .412 | .405 | .525 | 3.47 | 4.57 |
As you can see, Cahill's isn't a superior bat-misser, but at 35 percent, the curveball whiff rate is quite good. The changeup isn't bad either (compare here). The slider, however, was not very effective, as it had both a low whiff rate and ground ball rate. It showed improvement from 2009 to 2010, increasing the whiff rate from 23 percent to 30 percent, but it was still reasonable for Cahill to show more confidence in his change and curve.
The whiff rate on Cahill's curve improved substantially as well from 18 percent in 2009's limited sample to just under 39 percent in 2010. So, since the curve and change are more effective than the slider, the lack of sliders is what has made Cahill better this year, right? I would've thought so, but he's actually getting fewer whiffs and zone-takes on his offspeed stuff in 2011:
# | Swing Rate | Whiff Rate | Zone Rate | Watch Rate | Ball Rate | |
Sinker | 293 | .369 | .120 | .522 | .464 | .396 |
Fastball | 16 | .563 | .000 | .438 | .143 | .438 |
Changeup | 110 | .564 | .306 | .445 | .204 | .318 |
Curveball | 100 | .490 | .286 | .410 | .220 | .390 |
The difference in whiff rate is mainly coming from a few extra empty swings on his sinker than he typically gets, and not from the extra curves in place of the sliders. While it would've made a nice and logical explanation for Cahill's strikeout spike, it doesn't appear to actually be the case. On the other hand, I think it's reasonable to assume that the curveball whiff rate improves towards its 2010 level.
What should we expect from Cahill moving forward?
Cahill is a very good pitcher based on his ability to get ground balls and maintain a good walk rate (it's improved since his rookie year). I do think that despite his slider's improvement from 2009 to 2010, the curve is still a better option as a strikeout and groundball pitch in the future.
As for what Cahill's doing right now (K/9 rate over 8.0, well over where he was at last year, but with slightly lower whiff rates on his offspeed pitches), I'd highly doubt that his strikeout rate stays that high; however, given his decreased slider usage and increased curveball usage, I would expect him to pick up more strikeouts this year than last.
Being a groundball pitcher who has exhibited good control, picking up strikeouts certainly isn't Cahill's first priority, but it can't hurt to be able to throw a strikeout pitch when you want to. By showing an increased reliance on his curveball, Cahill is putting himself in a better position to get more strikeouts and thus improve a big part of his game.

UtopianPostersandReview.pptx - Section 3: Utopian Review: Peer Gallery Walk/Review
Create Your Own Utopia (Day 2 of 2)
Lesson 2 of 13
Objective: SWBAT demonstrate their ability to use valid reasoning and sufficient evidence by supporting their proposals for the creation of a utopian society.
Big Idea: One man's utopia is another man's dystopia. How can you tell the difference between each? Better yet, how can you sell your ideas to that other man?
We will begin class with ten minutes of reading time. I will read with the students during this time.
To honor my students' request for more time to complete their brainstorming and posters, I will allow the students to reconvene with their groups from Friday and complete their brainstorming using the categories and question sheet provided (modified from this pdf/activity).
I will also ask them to make sure they have a poster that represents the key selling points of their utopian society ready to present at the end of this 20 minute work time. I will remind them that these posters need to present compelling arguments and evidence to support their claims (W.9-10.1) about why their peers should want to join their "perfect" society.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
The next and final step in this activity is for students to spend time reviewing their peers' ideas/sales posters. I will ask students to travel with their groups to at least three of the posters presented and write feedback for each group on the whiteboards surrounding each poster.
In their feedback, I will ask them to evaluate the claims/ideas that are being presented and consider the unintended consequences that may result from fallacious logic/reasoning presented by the proposed utopian society (SL.9-10.3).
I will give the students ten minutes to walk the room and write their feedback on the boards. I will then ask students to return to their own poster, read the feedback that was provided and return to their seats for our wrap up conversation.
Resources (2)
Wrap Up and Next Steps
I am setting aside a little bit of extra time at the end of class today to review a few reminders for the rest of the week as we will be completing our state testing and will be on a funny schedule.
Before I review these test tips, though, I will ask students to share their observations/ideas from the gallery walk in the form of an exit slip.
I will specifically ask them to reflect on the similarities/differences they saw in the various societies presented. I will also invite them to reflect on the criticism they saw from their peers and give them to chance to justify their ideas or offer revisions. Finally, I will ask them to respond to our big idea, that one man's utopia is another man's dystopia. I will ask them to think about this statement and to tell me if they think it is true or not. This will hopefully allow us to look at the novels in more depth next week and think about the "utopian" societies that the author is criticizing through his or her dystopian storyline/imager.

Wedged between the idealism and activism of the 1960s and the avarice of the 1980s, the 1970s tend to be allocated a slender role in American cultural and social history. Only now have scholars begun to examine the suspect decade—perhaps in part because it has seemed too close, at least for many who lived through it, and in part because cultural critics have rendered it synonymous with cultural stagnation and overall frivolity. Ironically, in everything from retro fashion to interior design to music, American culture today is heavily influenced by this decade so routinely scorned by the academy. Proceeding from the idea that the preoccupation with nostalgia veils the decade's true cultural significance, the essays in Disco Divas reveal that the 1970s, far from being an era of cultural stasis, were a time of great social change, particularly for women.
Disco Divas argues that 1970s popular culture provided an arena in which women's roles could be negotiated in new ways and, through individual chapters on topics ranging from film, music, television, and advertising to cheerleaders, teen-idol fans, and second-wave feminists, demonstrates how these roles were renegotiated. The great cultural shifts of the 1960s were still reverberating in the 1970s, and American society, while holding onto the ideal of the nuclear family and the white picket fence, had to come to terms with these shifts. This tension created a time of intriguing, if complicated social opportunity for women; the essays here chart the history of the women's movement from a genuinely liberating movement to a tool of corporate profits. Offering commentary on the sources of our fascination with the period, Disco Divas is an ambitious tour of how the mass-mediated popular culture of the 1970s shaped public perceptions of women and the actuality of women's lives.
