Sun. 11/13/11 7:39pm
you might be interested in this article about a debate about whether or not too many kids go to college - my favorite chips.. kettle chips, salt & pepper... http://nextgenjournal.com/2011/10/do-too-many-kids-go-to-college/ | |

Dagmar Paley:
I'd have to agree - Wise it is! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:39pm
rick r:
utz. salt n vinegar | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:39pm
Lays. I am a chip addict. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:39pm
I love Utz and I have a crush on the Utz girl. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:40pm
crunchy cheese doodles. Bugles are also delish | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:40pm
Don (trip dub):
I could run thru the Herr's (from PA) New Yorker in a NY minute. Likewise Utz no salt "$1" bag. Do about one bag a week, sometimes 2. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:40pm
Perhaps a regional treat but I vote for Zapp's dill pickle flavor! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:41pm
Gotham FX:
Sage Valley Multi Grain chips. Delicious and quite natural. For pretzels, try Keystone's Oatzels. Snack without guilt! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:41pm
Fudgie Dellamoor:
i love the chocolate- covered pringles from neiman marcus at christmas. it's like an orgasm for your mouth... no WAIT! ! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:41pm
Doug in the 'Burgh:
Jeremy is all over it with the Zapps! A NOLA delicacy. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:42pm
Trader Joe's ripples are pretty good too. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:43pm
texas scott:
What's your brand? {cool radio in progress} | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:43pm
Some folks like Boo Berry, some like Count Chocula. Still others, Frankenberry. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:43pm
Don (trip dub):
Wise NY Deli brand and kettle cooked brand are close seconds. It's like big curly fries. I've been finding myself having at the Keeblers lately. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:43pm
Watch out for the brands. I like the white cheddar popcorn from Wise, and evidently other people do too, because Wise has upriced it in stages from 1.69 to 3.29 in less than five years. So I got white cheddar seasoning from Mr. Internet and cut Wise out of the picture.... | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:44pm
Wise is the best, indeed. But curiously, though the discounted price stays at .99, the weight keeps declining! Moreover, I thought that at least the corner stores were selling Wise at $1.59, but you imply that it's .99 everywhere! Think of the money that could be saved w/o the orange sticker: Wise could just print .98 in the corner! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:44pm
caribou bellunciaga:
Zapp's Dill...no question. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:45pm
Tir Chonail Abu:
@G hope you enjoyed Donegal just saw your comment, and yes London is congested but a great city near my fave team the Arsenal as well so all good. And Mo hearing that chip bag being rustled emm made me hungry. | |

andy s:
i just discovered utz's chips that are fried in lard, available across the street at april candy-grocery on nassau ave in greenpoint. they don't mention anything about it in the blurbs on the package, but they are made with that sweet, sweet pig fat that is so good....great with bourbon | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:47pm
Cape Cod kettle chips | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:47pm
I am dying for some All Dressed potato chips. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:48pm
I'm 1/4 Irish, and have written about Irish topics, so I've spent time over there. Donegal was 1999, and without looking at my stuff from that trip I do recall hills, grass, lots of sheep, and a few small villages and towns. Does that sound about right? :-) | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:48pm
@andy s... that's why I like cracklins — the lard | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:49pm
... or pork rinds | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:49pm
Sorry to report Monica but: MADHOUSE MUNCHIES are the absolute best. There is another chip made with avocado oil that is a close second. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:49pm
Munchos! I haven't had them five or more years but, when I imagined the ideal chip, Munchos came instantly to mind. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:50pm
Fudgie Dellamoor:
I once had my 3rd husband's nickname tattooed on my left cheek. After the divorce,I put a circle,crossed out over it. no Twinks!! | |

Sun. 11/13/11 7:58pm
I was in Donegal in August 99, and lucked out on blue skies while there. It definitely rained and fogged in other parts of the countryside that month, though! :-) | |
Sun. 11/13/11 7:59pm
Fiona deWitt:
Caribou! I just jimmied the lock to the powder room and got to the keyboard. You leave Fudgie alone. Personally, my fav is a deep fried Twinkle at a State Fair. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:00pm
trish, beets leave a trail, no?... gretchen, not up on 'em - good, huh?.... | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:04pm

Sun. 11/13/11 8:05pm
Sour cream > Pringles | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:05pm
Once you pop, you can't stop | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:05pm
A 'trail'. Heh. A surprise/scare for later, depending on where the ol' memory is at. | |

Sun. 11/13/11 8:07pm
night noah | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:08pm
"Munchos?" as in, 'how could you eat those?' or as in, 'I'm not familiar with them?' They're very thin, salty chips in an orange bag. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:08pm
Nashville Noah:
night night Cheri! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:08pm
Yep.The avocado chips are made by Good Health Natural Foods. I get them at the Co-op. Madhouse Munchies are/were a Vermont product. You should be able to find them. I was in Philly a few weeks ago and saw some. Wise will never be the same after a nosh of Madhouse. Bright blue bag. You can't miss 'em! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:09pm

Sun. 11/13/11 8:12pm

Sun. 11/13/11 8:17pm
Heh, this Bappi Lahiri cover is pretty good | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:17pm
Big Donovan fan. Never heard this before. Kinda interesting. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:18pm
The last few times I've had Pringles, it didn't end well, which is probably for the best. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:18pm
Whooops. The playlist hadn't refreshed. It was actually Eartha Kitt I was talking about (blush) | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:19pm
Nashville Noah:
@ PB, I second that, love Donovan but never heard that Earth cut. Leave it to Monica to bring out the goodies! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:20pm
Listener Schned - fianlly a Doritos mention!... all about the cool ranch... PB, tuned ono the Eartha by Give The Drummer Some!... | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:20pm
@ andy s -- glad to hear UTZ still makes the lard chips! I was wondering about that. Was a fave of me & my friends 20+ years ago when we were in college...went well with good beer too! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:20pm
My dad used to say that the sign of a good chip was that if you held it in your mouth long enough it would turn back into a slice of potato. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:21pm
miss vickie's lime and black pepper are the potato chip all other potato chips look at and and sigh. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:22pm
Oh man I love the Garden of Eden Lime & Chili - OR Trader Joes spicy Flax Tortilla chips!! Oh man chips are the best. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:22pm
Nashville Noah:

Sun. 11/13/11 8:22pm
yo, glenn (miss vickies!0 and beth. jeremy, yer pops was a wise man. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:23pm

Sun. 11/13/11 8:23pm
andy s:

Sun. 11/13/11 8:24pm
Nashville Noah:
My friend in high school used to take sour cream & onion chips and put it on his bagel and cream cheese and make a lovely sandwich! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:25pm
hey there, jen - good to hear a pretzels vote... noah, sour cream & onionm sounds good in theory but always tastes kinda chemical... | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:25pm
that said, the profit margin on chips is astronomical. something like 1500%. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:27pm
wow, never would've guessed that was Eartha...loved it!!!!! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:27pm
@ Nashville, that sounds vile. Speakiing of Vile, can you believe Kurt Vile licensed some of his music for use in a Bank of American TV commercial. How disappointing (and sad). | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:27pm
HOORAY FOR MONICA! Hey what about Rap Snacks?? Google image RAP SNACKS | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:28pm
Commercial Chip Makers:
As soon as people feel like making their own chips at home, we'll cut those margins. Nothing cheaper than potatoes bought by the ton. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:30pm
Nashville Noah:
MONEY MONEY!!! @ PB, I don't really see a problem with licensing ones music, he signed a contract with Matador didn't he? Why shouldn't he get paid for his music? Also, I doubt he has health insurance, so let him make some green! | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:31pm
p.s. i find that cheer leader unsettlingly gorgeous. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:31pm
@Nashville. True, if they used his music in a potato chip commercial, but Bank of America. Bank of America is the worst of a really bad lot. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:32pm

Sun. 11/13/11 8:35pm
Steve L, more beaut now that you're here... glenn, she's kinda hot, right?... Commercial Chip Makers, go and be great... | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:36pm
IMO the best thing about a lot of rap was, and is, the brilliant use of sampling. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:36pm
mmmmmm. kinda? | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:37pm
Sun. 11/13/11 8:37pm

I need to hear more from Butter's oeuvre | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:46pm

A chip off the old block. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:59pm
I'd chip in a pun here, but I can't think of one. | |
Sun. 11/13/11 8:59pm

New Apple signage reconfirms white iPhone 4 coming Spring 2011
- 16
Apple has seemingly put rumours of the death of its white iPhone 4 well and truly to bed with the company starting to affix new signs in its shops noting its pricing and upcoming availability.
9to5mac got a shot of the new Apple signs which note that the white iPhone 4 will be available in Spring 2011. The release date is not surprising, mainly because Apple released a statement telling disgruntled customers that it would be available at that time.
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
However, the inclusion of the devices' availability does indicate that the Cupertino company is still right on track to deliver the much sought after device, even when it appears Apple will likely release the latest iteration of its smartphone six months later.
Colour discrepancies between the handset body and the home button are said to be behind the delay. Apple, adhering to its high quality levels, are not releasing the devices until the colour issues are eliminated.
When Apple announced it would be delaying its white iPhone 4 for a second time, it immediately pulled all references of it from its product and ordering pages on its website. Shortly after that, the device was spotted being used by a mysterious gentleman in New York City.
If new signage is being incorporated into Apple's retail stores, it should mean it's only a matter of time until the device reappears on the website and all manner of gentleman (and women) can order the handset.

Last week, Rick Bergman, general manager of AMD's Product Group, noted that while AMD was excited about the growth opportunities it saw within the tablet market, it had no plans to enter the smartphone space. Bergman's comments are a reassuring indication that the company hasn't concocted a harebrained scheme to charge off into a market it can't currently compete in. The emerging tablet market is a different matter.
Have they? I doubt they make the modules (heck, they don't strictly make much of anything after Global Foundries spin-off), AMD probably just slaps their branding ("extracting more value" or smth) on a product most likely made by some OEM (that's where the thinnest margins are)
But secretly they want to enter the smartphone market.
Rumour..they are eyeing a takeover of Texas Instruments OMAP division.

Joseline Kelly got a little hungry in the middle of one of her study sessions. She ordered some pizza, little did she know this was about to be the biggest fucking pizza she has ever had swallow. The pizza delivery guy came ready to score some pussy. He honey dicked Joseline by sticking his dick inside the pizza box. She slowly opened the box to review the BIGGEST surprise of her life. Joseline could not believe the size of huge fucking dick, she had to try it. So, thats exactly what she did, she gargled on that dick and shoved it deep inside her crevice.

The good news is art from Giant Robot's Post-It show is on sale, and most of the artwork is $20 plus shipping and possibly tax. The bad news is you won't know what art's still in stock, and will have to provide a list of four backup artists in case you first choice isn't available. And almost none of the artwork is posted on their site, so you'll definitely be shopping blind.
Here's the Post-Its Chris Buzelli created (but surely these must have sold right away?):
If I had to pick four backup artists, I'd probably choose Tim Biskup, Dave Plunkert, Dongyun Lee, and Mari InukaiFour.

"Remember - UV rays penetrate those lovely mesh and straw hats that we love to wear in the summer".
Small Project Ideas:
Do you have family or friends who are sun sensitive? What better way to say you care than to create sun protective gifts for those folks on your Christmas list.
Infants need sun protection almost more than adults. A soft hood or stroller cover made of Sun protective fabric would be just the thing. Does someone on your list do a lot of driving? Why not make a simple "driving sleeve" to go over their arm. Is there an outdoors person your thinking of. You can purchase an inexpensive baseball style hat and put a sun protective flap on the back to protect their neck.
There are many simple ways to protect yourself and your loved ones from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Just remember to look for the UPF (SFP) rating on any sun protective fabric that you choose.
Baseball Caps
1) If you or your significant other like to wear those mesh baseball style hats - cut a small piece of UV fabric to fit in the crown. In non-sunny situations you can just whip it out of the crown and put it in your golf bag or purse.
2) Or take a little bit of time to line the cap and even the brim of your favorite straw hat. You can be creative and make a matching ribbon for the band!
These small adjustments will protect your scalp, face and neck from damaging UV light and might even give your special bonnet a new lease on life!"
Enjoy the sun one an all - Paula

Hoping you'll see this. Saw your comment on Dooce about your expected baby. My daughter's best friend was born with one arm ending just a few inches below her elbow. She had an artificial arm but chose not to use it because she functioned better without it. Her FIRST pregnancy was with TWINS. I thought one at a time was hard enough, I have 2 sons and 1 daughter, but she handled those babies with no trouble at all. I marveled at her confidence and still do. Just wanted to send you a word of encouragement. Sue in NC

Dear Sue,
Thank you so much! It's very encouraging to hear that your best friend's daughter is doing so well.
I shared this with my husband and it means so much to both of us. - December 30, 2009 at 7:57 PM

Thanks - I haven't devoted much time since I made these changes, but my New Year's resolution is to get up off my ass and focus more on the blog AND writing.
That is, of course, if Destructo and the baby will let me. ;) - December 30, 2009 at 7:59 PM

"The heart is the deepest sea, filled with emotions that swim like fish."
Sara Strain
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."

Integrating UnitSteps
Hi guys! I'm trying to integrate a function that has a discontinuity at a single point. I'm using UnitStep to do this, but it doesn't work very well. To illustrate this, a simple example (my real function is much more complicated than this): In[1]:= Integrate[1/x^2, {x, b, Infinity}] 1 Out[1]= - b Ok, so far so good, but now let's add a discontinuity at x=1: In[2]:= Integrate[UnitStep[x - 1]/x^2, {x, b, Infinity}] UnitStep[-1 + x] Out[2]= If[b < 1, 1, Integrate[----------------, {x, b, Infinity}]] 2 x Which is correct, in principle. However, I'm trying to get an explicit expression for b>1: In[3]:= FullSimplify[%, b > 1] UnitStep[-1 + x] Out[3]= If[b < 1, 1, Integrate[----------------, {x, b, Infinity}]] 2 x Why isn't this expression simplified? Why doesn't Mathematica evaluate the Integration inside the If[] (the UnitStep is 1 there anyway)? Should I be using UnitSteps at all for these kinds of functions? -- BZ

Los Angeles in 1902
Feb. 15, 1953: The Times published this reader-submitted 1902 photo of downtown Los Angeles. The accompanying story reported:
Downtown Los Angeles of 51 years ago–an era when a four-story building ranked as a skyscraper–is illustrated in a photograph received yesterday by The Times.
Mrs. Glenn Randolph Schreiner of Indianapolis, sent it after reading a copy of the Times Midwinter Edition.
"Looking at the pictures of your beautiful modern buildings," Mrs. Schreiner wrote,"I remembered a picture mailed to me years ago by an uncle who was working in your city at the time." The uncle, Sloan Randolph, now lives in Vashon, Wash.
The picture, taken from the old Courthouse Hill, is a view looking southward down Broadway. Near its center is the tower of the old City Hall, completed in 1888. The 183-foot tower looked down on many large residences with lawns and trees on nearby Bunker Hill. The tower later was cracked by the 1918 quake which badly damaged San Jacinto and Hemet, and it was lowered by removal of a 76-foot section.
Long-time residents can spot the Nadeau Hotel, which stood on the site of the present Times Building; the Tally-Ho Stables, just north of 1st St. on the west side of Broaday, and the Central Jail, still in use on 1st St. between Broadway and Hill St.
The city has multiplied in population about 20 times since this picture was made in 1902. The census listed a figure of 102,479 in 1900.
The City Hall, the Nadeau and the Tally-Ho are gone today but some of the store and office buildings shown on Boardway and Spring St. are still in use.
The Times Midwinter Edition was published every New Year's Day from 1885 to 1954. The edition, with many large photos, promoted Southern California.

It is truly amazing what 110 years of development can do. The transformation of L.A. I'm sure has surpassed that of New York or Chicago, which were already metropolis with high rises at that time. Try as I could, I did not see any buildings in this photograph that are still around. L.A.'s downtown continues its transformation (for the better).
It is interesting that many of the store fronts along Broadway have awnings, a sign of our warm summer mornings. The Bunket Hill neighborhood looks intriguing. I wish some of those houses had been saved. -

Thanks for posting the photo of LA. My great grandfather Lambert Vandenberg moved to LA in 1902, so the picture shows what he must have seen when he first came.

- "The Chiss have always stored sensitive information in this fashion. It is safe, secure, and permanent. We have lost too much data in ice storms to trust other, more complicated forms of storage."
"But how are we going to find anything? We can't do keyword searches through…this!" - ―Tris and Danni Quee, regarding books
A book was a written work. In some cultures and times, books took the form of an actual physical means of data collection and preservation composed of sheets that were bound together with a protective cover. The sheets of a book, the individual sides of which were referred to as pages, could contain printed, written or illustrated information. In some cases, all of the pages within a book were intentionally left blank so that its owner could record his or her own information within it for professional or private reasons.
With the advent of more advanced means of collecting and preserving data, these physical books eventually became obsolete. Such works took up more space, were less portable and less accessible than electronic media. Instead, the term book referred to the same sort of work, only stored in an electronic medium like a datapad[1] or flimsiplast;[2] such works were also known as holobooks.[3] Over time, the number of sentient beings who used printed books or knew of their purpose declined considerably. However, the Chiss Ascendancy favored using printed books to archive data, rather than electronic means because Csilla's ice storms caused the loss of a significant amount of information that had been stored using the latter method.[4]

Hakkinen secures pole at Oschersleben
1. | M. Häkkinen | 1:22.848 |
2. | M. Rockenfeller | 1:22.530 |
3. | B. Spengler | 1:22.625 |
5 May 2007 – Oschersleben. Mika Häkkinen (Mercedes-Benz) will be starting from pole position for the second season round of the DTM at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben.
In an exciting qualifyinf session, the Finn drove his AMG Mercedes C-Class to a fastest lap time of 1:22.456 minutes, securing the first grid position for the race on Sunday (live from 13.45 h onwards on ARD).
For the two times' Formula 1 world champion, it was the second pole position in his DTM career. Mike Rockenfeller (Audi) caused a slight sensation in qualifying: the Audi driver will be starting from the front row of the grid alongside Häkkinen in only his second DTM race. Eventually, Rockenfeller with his 2006-spec Audi A4 DTM only came 0.074 seconds short of Häkkinen's fastest lap time. Third place was occupied by Bruno Spengler (Mercedes-Benz) from Mattias Ekström (Audi).
Reigning DTM champion Bernd Schneider will be starting from tenth place.

In Afghanistan, women risk their lives daily in the face of cultural taboos in order to accomplish things that we take for granted here in the United States. Among many other activities, for example, playing sports is frowned upon. And to the conservative culture there, bike riding is perhaps the greatest offender. "In the most rural, conservative areas," says Shannon Galpin, founder of the cycling nonprofit Mountain2Mountain, "people fear that straddling a bike could take away a women's virginity and, for that, she could be killed. It sounds bizarre, but that connection, even if it is unconscious, is still everywhere in Afghanistan."
In spite of such a huge cultural barrier, the 38-year-old Galpin, who started Mountain2Mountain five years ago to create educational opportunities for girls and women in conflict zones around the world, is heading to Afghanistan on Wednesday on a two-part mission. First, she and her team of six women will deliver donated bikes, helmets, clothing, tools, shoes, and hydration fuel to the roughly 50 women riders who are vying for one of 12 spots on the brand-new Afghan Women's Cycling Team. Second, they'll begin filming "Afghan Cycles," a 20-minute documentary about the women's team directed by Sarah Menzies, which is slated to debut this fall.
How the women's team came about is a testament to how much attitudes toward women are evolving in Afghanistan. The daughter of coach Abdul Sadiq, Afghanistan's most famous cyclist and founder of the fledgling men's team, which he started last year, wanted to ride a bike so badly that she convinced her dad to start a women's team as well. The riders, most of whom live in Kabul, range in age from 16 to 20.
The going has been rough, even for the men. While commuter bikes are a common sight in Afghanistan's cities, competitive road cycling is a completely foreign concept—there are no corner bike shops where you can tweak a derailleur or pick up a spare tube, which means that every last piece of gear needs to be imported. To compete, both men and women need to travel to India or Pakistan. Additionally, most of the women started with zero cycling skills and are mastering riding techniques on the country's few paved roads, all of which are heavily trafficked with drivers who aren't afraid to act on their road rage.

"I've lived all over the world," Galpin says, "and the most chaotic traffic I've ever seen is in Afghanistan. It's not an exaggeration to say that every time these women get on a bike, they are risking their lives. Not only do they get harassed and threatened, but they ride on very busy highways."
Coach Sadiq and his team have devised ways around these obstacles. To avoid premeditated plots on the women, he switches up the locations for their biweekly team training sessions. The women also always ride with members of the men's team and a sag wagon. In the future, Galpin is hoping to provide CycleOps indoor trainers so the women can train in a safer, less hostile environment.
With all these obstacles, why are the women so hell-bent on riding a bike? And why is Galpin supporting their efforts?
"It's absolutely no different than encouraging young girls here to go to school," Galpin says. "At the end of the day, these women are making a conscious choice. They know the risk and all I can do is support them the best I can. They inspire hope and confidence and build community. These women are daring to do this because they are the women who will change the country."
What will really help change the country, Galpin adds, is if the women train hard enough to earn a spot at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. She's the first to admit it's a pipe dream that would require substantial feats like securing visas from the State Department to import the chosen few to Boulder, Colorado. There the team will have access to Galpin's infrastructure support, and that of other sponsors, which, Galpin says, is mostly already in place. Companies like Liv/giant, Shimano, Skratch Labs, and Inertia Racing Technology, which donated the initial round of bikes, wheels, shoes, clothing, and hydration technology, are willing to help out with more. And other organizations and individuals throughout Colorado have offered to help ratchet up the women's training by putting them through rigorous physiological testing, helping to coach and train, and providing them with places to live.
But first things first: On this trip, Galpin intends to sit down with coach Sadiq, the women, and their families to lay out the risks and determine just how badly they want to compete on an international level. "The best thing that could happen is if these women show up in Rio and wave their flag," says Galpin. "Afghanistan is a country that would rally behind nationalistic pride. It wouldn't mean that everyone was behind women riding bikes, but it would be a major victory. It would change everything."
Watch Out, Rio
A team of young women cyclists in Afghanistan has its sights set on the 2016 Olympics—and there's more at stake than medals

Issue 91
There's a definite vacation feel to this issue with stunning travel and adventure stories from Taiwan and the Azores. Closer to home we hitch a ride with the first and only woman home at this year's Highland Trail 550 for a warts-and-all look at what it's like to race around Scotland.
Steve and Barney keep it on topic and cobble together a two-day, off-road assault on stage one of this year's Tour de France, with predictably mixed consequences. The Classic Ride sets its out-of-office and heads to Morzine, while the bike test treats itself to a staycation with three awesome British hardtails from Cotic, Genesis and Singular.
Chipps goes behind the scenes at Saracen HQ and tests 12 small-but-perfectly-formed hydration packs (OK – we let him have some help), while Jorji reports back on her Mondraker Foxy long-termer: both its ride and the, um, 'divisive' looks. We've got columns from Chipps, Benji and Alex Leigh, plus the usual assortment of Grinder products minced, mashed and mangled to within an inch of their precious little lives. Lastly we know you've already seen the cover but we like it so much we're showing it to you again!
The Singletrack shop is doing a roaring trade in pre-orders while subscriptions are available here.
It's FREE! as part of your Premier package and you'd be mad to miss out on all the extra photography, video and interactive content we'll be squeezing through your digital letterbox!
Issue 91 of Singletrack is officially on sale on Thursday 7th August.
Premier members, here is your bundle of wallpapers so you can look at Singletrack's cover whilst at work, on your phone, on the loo etc… plus the Morzine Classic Ride Route Guide gpx file as usual, so all that's left to remember is what's French for "one beer, please".

SHOP FINFUN.COMIn 2009, when Emily was about 11 years old, she dreamed of swimming like a mermaid. Desperate to fulfil her dream, she begged her Grandma to make her a real mermaid tail that she could swim in. Well, "Grandma Karen" went to work designing, sewing, fitting and finally created a beautiful mermaid tail that Emily could really swim in! Soon Emily's cousins wanted their own mermaid tails. Then their friends... and their friends. Soon Grandma Karen was selling her creations online and Fin Fun Mermaid Tails was born.

That thing is beautiful!! Awesome job!
Im talking about the car...
Been into hot rods for about 40 years. Now, as an old fart, I did things different this time around. This is my Swiss Army knife of hot rods, can corner better than my Corvette, lay down a 10.8 @ 132 in the 1/4, and for the fun part, break 30 mpg at 65 on a flat highway. My hot rod buddies said to be fast it could only get 3~5mpg, sure enjoyed proving them wrong. The trick was to give up about 120 hp on the build of the engine (383 sbc), and fatten up the torque as low in the rpms as possible. 516 lb/ft @ 2800 pushing a car that weighs 1790 lbs through a Tremec TKO 600 OD 5 speed, Jaq IRS 3.54 and 31" tires. Gears it so tall that these rpms are in top gear. It is a hoot to drive.
Geared tall enough ?
I do drive that car all over the place, but Edmonton, I'm not too sure. This car for social car groups falls into the Bucket-T group because the fiberglass bucket and rear deck is based on the 1923 T. Is there any Bucket-T gatherings in your area? I wouldn't mind meeting a new group of bucket owners. These are the rides that accept me into their group, and I meet up with them in places like Reno/Carson City, Nevada, Mountain Home, Arkansas, Southern California, and the end of the cruising season, first weekend of November in Tucson, Arizona.
Forgot scenic Yosemite National Park, what a place to try out a "thrower" against El Capitan.
The car enthusiasts here, I haven't seen much of a division in car classes, used to love looking at the classics on Sunday nights at SodaJerks... Ever since SodaJerks closed I haven't seen an organized gathering.
I'm glad I found CPF, I was beginning to think I was strange
I'm a Canadian and a proud Flashaholic
Thanks CPF, thanks Think2x
Holy.... something... What is the final ratio?
Do we want to know what it redlines at? With that gearing your in supercar territory.
Really nice work
Rear gear is a 3.54, top tranny gear is a 0.64, so final ratio is 2.26 spinning 31" tires instead of 25" tires.
You ask a good question, and the answer will show you what an old fart I am, but I'll come clean. Redline is typical for a sbc, probably around 5600 rpm, but it never sees that because of the way I built the engine. A stroker 383 generally produces around 400~450 hp at 5600 and that would be the rpm peak hp was attained. I built my engine so that peak hp of only 320 happens at 4050 rpm. Torque is what pushes you in your seat and a typical build would be close to 400 lb/ft, but at 4000+ rpm. My engine dyno's 516 lb/ft way down at 2800 rpm. Let the clutch out, give it 2 seconds of light throttle and then short shift to the next higher gear. I shift at 1700, in the next higher gear it is 1100, then back up to 1700 and another shift. It has no problem starting from a stand still in 3rd, which isn't bad when you figure 3rd gear can take you from a stop to 115 mph.

Nice car! That's a nice time for the gearing. And 30+ MPG makes it even better.
Thanks. It was the 30 mpg aspect my fellow hot rodders said couldn't be done. I go to most the T-bucket events, some have long cruises. The guys with their 8-71 blowers have to stop for fuel every 30~50 miles, while I, in cruising mode, can go 300+ miles, and still beat them in a drag.
neat thing. but i do believe you have a mismatched speedo. or does it just go full circle around for another try? hahah.
and yeah..i believe torque is king in a car that is meant to be driven casually. 30mpg is very impressive to any 383 no matter the gear ratios.. the light body does help alot.
im curious of this ..what dont i get or am i missing something?

what light.. where?

The thread was about my fabricated LED back up light for the hot rod. After posting pictures, we had some thread drift and the mods moved the thread here, so, here is my back up light that I use a powerful magnet and coiled cord so that it could double as a trouble light.
ahaaa... i get the "wicked" part now. what are the specs on that light then?
cool idea for it to double as work light.

SWB - Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Ratings and Reviews
Sunday brunch: large variety from breakfast to seafood to prime roast. The restaurant was busy and servers may have been overwhelmed. Service was mediocre, the food was abundant but not particularly memorable, and the value was low. Recommended for those who like variety and quantity.
I never, ever leave bad reviews, but our experience was one of the worst ever. Food was dry (pork tenderloins) and cold (ribs). I took my boyfriend there for his birthday. No one poured the wine, the food took forever to come out to the table (reminded the waiter for both our appetizer and our meal). I have to admit, it was probably one of my worst dining experiences ever. $200 later....not at all worth the money or our time.
We were very disappointed with the average food quality at the brunch. Fruit offerings were minimal, entrees were just ok.The carving station had one piece of roast beef, average in quality and a distance from the rest of the brunch. The potatoes were up the steps and not in the same area. You would not even know beef was available until you had dessert.
Overall, it offered nothing interesting, the atmosphere was boring and we would never go back.
Service was very good - attentive and friendly. Ambiance was nice. Food was nothing special. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to make me choose SWB over any other lunch place. Be aware that you can either use valet parking, or walk to the access-controlled parking lot. The server did validate our parking ticket so we didn't have to pay, but it was a hassle when the machine that allows entry into the parking lot didn't work. This is Scottsdale, not downtown San Francisco. What's with having to pay for parking?
We highly recommend doing the Wine Me Dine Me. Put it in the special request box when you make the reservation & book at least 4 weeks out. It's beyond worth the wait. Our menu was a surprise and every part of it was amazing plus the tequila & wine pairing with it was superb.
We had Hyatt points that were due to expire so we decided to give SWB a try and we're glad that we did. Our server, Clifford, was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We shared the mushroom enchiladas for our appetizer, had the baby back ribs and chicken fajitas for our entrees, and the cheesy jalapeño cornbread. All were nicely presented and delicious. The portions are generous. We made room for the pumpkin sweet potato bread pudding - light, not too sweet, and the flavors are subtle and not overpowering. Lots of margaritas to choose! They have an open kitchen and I may try to get a seat so that I can watch the chefs cook if I return. It was loud since there was a band playing at the bar next to the restaurant. There were some families with children and a couple of birthday parties the evening we went and all seemed to be having a good time. Don't forget to have your parking ticket validated.
The guacamole prepared tableside is terrific. The southwestern caesar salad is delicious. Refills of Arnold Palmers came without asking. Attentive service by Ryan throughout. Glad to receive Hyatt Gold Passport points for my dine as well as my Open Table points.
The entire staff at the Hyatt are friendly. Whether its Brenda , Margarito or Josie, I can always count on a smile and delicious food. Afterward, I cozy on up to the bar and watch a few sports games and enjoy the pleasure of Andrew, Mitch, Mike and Alfredo. They remember our names and drinks and treat us like family.
We ate at SWB frequently for brunch and lunch during our hotel stay. The food was great, especially the chop salad and burgers.
The make to order omelet was prepared as ordered and loaded with meats and veggies. Overall brunch experience was good.
Lunch was really nice on the patio, with relaxing atmosphere. Night time had additional menu options on the patio, including hamburgers and brats grilled right on the patio.
Service was excellent from this staff that has been there for years and truly appear to enjoy their jobs.
Hyatt Regency Scottsdale is the venue for SWB; both indoor and outdoor dining is available. We enjoy the guacamole prepared table side. The southwest caesar salad is tasty as is the southwest tortilla soup. Refills of iced tea are provided without prompting. Note that there is now paid parking, although the parking ticket can be redeemed for a voucher that enables you to have free parking, but this is an inconvenience for SWB guests not staying at the hotel.
Talent Sous chefs and Outstanding Wait Staff create an unforgettable epicurean experience.
From the first course to desert we were treated to the most delightful cuisine.
The butternut squash soup melted in our mouths. The lamb fresh made a wonderful entree
For desert we were warmed with a Banana Foster.
Definitely Delightful.
The food was cold and the service staff especially at the omelette station was unattentive!!! Food was often luke warm at best. The table service was slow from the very beginning and did not improve for the remainder of the dining experience. We had to ask for simple things like silverware or glass of water, you know basic service needs. I would have been better off taken my wife to a casino brunch, at least you expect sub par food and service at those places!!! Overrated brunch!!!
We have dined at the restaurants at Hyatt Gainey for years. Always good. This time very good, but mixed. This time the scallops were terrific - spicy, with pomgranette seeds, unique and excellent. New York Strip was also excellent - very tasty, prime cut, and well spiced. The timing of the meal was off ( entrees came with the salads), much to the server's surprise. The server also got the order wrong - missed my Caesar salad. The Caesar salads received mixed review. My husbands liked his, but I recommend asking for extra dressing - I hardly ever say that. Still the ambiance is amazing and unique. We will definitely return?
This is the 2nd time we dined at SWB. It's noisy and drafty. I burned my hand on the cast iron skillet handle that came with our cornbread. It's difficult to read that parking ticket can be validated in restaurant because of dark and short notice pulling in.
We have eaten at this restaurant several times and every time is unique and special. We have partaken in their "Wine Me / Dine Me" experience three times. It is so enjoyable to have the ability to sit 'close to' the Chef's and interact with them as they serve excellent food and describe how they prepare each dish. Above all, the food that is served is just amazing. All the personnel are polite and totally professional. The meals they prepare are indescribable.
Try it and you will definitely find that it is a 'One of a Kind Experience'!
The kitchen staff and service staff were very fabulous on so many levels. We visited often during our stay. We would love to see a few more items/selections added to the menu for a little more variety … (as we visited many times) … otherwise, we enjoyed every meal experience and every interaction with SWB.
Great guacamole prepared table side; enjoyable southwest caesar salad; plentiful refills of Arnold Palmers. Attentive service. Lots of black birds hovering around to attack empty tables for leftovers, especially sugar packets. Appreciate being able also to earn Hyatt Gold Passport points as well.
The food was very good, especially the table side guacamole!! The southwest caesar salad
with grilled shrimp was tasty. Unfortunately, there are no dinner rolls or corn bread served or offered. For dessert, there were no cookies of any type available, which is most surprising for a resort hotel restaurant. Also, the lobby music is much too loud; it carries over into the dining
areas (both indoor or outdoor), making it almost impossible to have a table conversation.

642 Tasting Notes
Passover left me too cranky and tired to write tasting notes. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, though.
This is one of my caffeine-free afternoon office teas. It's rather meh. There's a good amount of spice here, but it's mostly clove. The rooibos base just doesn't stand up to the spice. Meanwhile the smell sticks to my travel mug long after the tea is gone. Once I brew this up, I can't make any other kind of tea until I wash the mug out quite thoroughly. And the bags have an unfortunate habit of breaking open if left in the mug too long. Boo.
This might be better iced/cold steeped (if the bag doesn't disintegrate). Maybe I'll try a cold steep if I have any of this tea left when the weather gets warmer.
Sipdown. I tried the last of this iced. The cherry notes really come out. Tart and sweet. I'm not getting much cakiness. Maybe a hint of pineapple, but that might be power of suggestion. Oh so slightly creamy. Mostly this tastes like a cherry iced rooibos. Yummy. Still nothing like the original upside down tea, though.
This is just the kind of perfection I've come to expect from Stacy. The base really shines here, with the lychee flavor coming in at the end of the sip and lingering long after. I'm having trouble describing the base right now, but it's sweet and grassy. It makes me think of rolling hills in springtime (in the idealized tv way, not the "my allergies make that experience torture" way). On the second steep, the juicy lychee flavor comes to the fore. Weirdly, I'm getting a lot of mintiness. It's great, but unexpected. The third steep is very similar and super tasty iced. By the fourth steep, the lychee flavor fades and leaves just a hint of sweetness. The base comes out and makes for a bright, grassy drink. Lovely.
Thanks so much for the taste, teamore!
Sad sad sipdown. I still really like the rose-candy aspect of this tea. But it's quite finicky. A 3-min steep at 190f today came out astringent. It was still good, but when I get a cup of this tea right it can be great. It's really hard to get right though. So probably not a restock despite its tastiness.
Sipdown! Sadly, I oversteeped my very last cup of this. I forgot about it for 10+ minutes and it got bitter. Still drinkable, but bitter is not a flavor I want in a chamomile tea. The bitterness mellowed out as the tea cooled though. Tasty and convenient, but not a restock because the packaging is weird (the teabags are just loose in a cardboard box).
Sipdown! I'm not really up for writing a detailed tasting note, but I want to remember for the future that I really didn't like this one. The clove is too heavy, the rooibos is too weak a base for the spices, and the coconut is doing something weird. It's not totally gross but it is not pleasant either. Good riddance.
I'm drinking a locally purchased lemongrass/ginger herbal blend that comes to me courtesy of Stephanie. Thanks! Most of this actually went to my brother, since he loves lemongrass. But I made sure to keep a good cup's worth for myself to try.
This is pretty darned good! It's simple, straightforward, and elegant. The flavor is lemongrass up front. It gently transitions into a nice ginger flavor mid-sip. The ginger comes out fully at the end and lingers pleasantly. I added a big teaspoon of manuka honey to see how it would impact the flavor. It definitely softened it. The beginning of the sip is now more honey than lemongrass. The ginger flavor is also tempered by sweetness, leaving a lingering taste of ginger candy. Yum! I liked it better without the honey, but it's delicious with honey too.
The breakfast place across the street from work makes decent breakfast sandwiches. Inanely, their breakfast special makes it cheaper to get a sandwich and coffee than just a sandwich. Thankfully, they let me sub out tea for coffee.
This is my current favorite breakfast special tea. The flavor is creamy and dead-on for its name. As the brew cools, the flavor turns to more of a generic stone fruit – peach or maybe apricot. Still enjoyable, just different. I can't quite get over how creamy this one is. It's like the herbal tea version of a smoothie. Nom nom nom.
Eep! I have the bagged version of this and managed to get through the whole box without a chance to write a tasting note! That's because this has been my go-to afternoon tea at work and i rarely write tasting notes at work.
I quite enjoy this tea. It's great for a caffeine-free afternoon lift. The chamomile hits up front and transitions smoothly into a pleasantly tart citrus. I could swear there was a lingering hint of ginger at the end of the sip today, but there's no ginger in the blend. The hibiscus supports the flavor rather than getting in the way. I'm hoping to restock this one fairly soon. Meanwhile, sipdown!
ETA: This blend does best with a really long steep time. Like 10+ minutes.

Some more peeks at a few movies headed your way, so let's just dive in…
First up, here's yet another look at "21 Jump Street," the upcoming TV show-turned-movie starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. Yes, the buzz and marketing behind this one has been enormous but this is the rare case where all that advance word is actually true. In our A-grade review we called it "a brilliant, rewarding convergence of incredibly talented people who were of one mind about what they were trying to make, and miraculously they made it. More than merely hilarious, thrilling, intelligent, or involving – any one or two of which alone would be a significant achievement – it's well-rounded, wonderful, and truly special." See for yourself when it opens on March 16th.
Also arriving that weekend, although a bit more dialed down on the comedic scale, is the Duplass brothers' "Jeff Who Lives At Home." Starring Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Judy Greer and Susan Sarandon, the story centers on two brothers — one who is going through a mid-life crisis (Helms) and believes his wife (Greer) is having an affair, and the other, a lovable loser pothead (Segel) still living with his mom (Sarandon). As they set out to spy on the wife, a journey unfolds with all sorts of unintended consequences. This scene is a pretty hilarious look at the contentious relationship between Jeff and his mom.
Finally, here's a new look at Michael Winterbottom's "Trishna." An adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" (obviously updated and relocated), the film will tell the story of the doomed relationship between Jay (Riz Ahmed) and Trishna (Freida Pinto), the former the son of a property developer, the latter the daughter of an auto rickshaw owner. The movie will roll out in limited release on July 13th. Watch all three below. [BoxOfficeBuz//Film/Artificial Eye]

(Medical Xpress) -- Male infertility could soon have a boost through new treatments at a sub-DNA 'epigenetic' level, according to researchers from The Australian National University.
The research team, led by Professor David Tremethick of The John Curtin School of Medical Research at ANU, have uncovered a new mechanism of gene activation which will have important implications in understanding how cellular differentiation is achieved. In the future, it may also allow the development of new approaches to treat male infertility. Their research is published in the latest issue of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology.
The team which included post-doctoral researchers Tanya Soboleva and Maxim Nekrasov made the breakthrough by looking at whats happening in our bodies at the epigenetic level, which controls how our DNA is expressed.
Epigenetic information goes beyond DNA-stored information essential for interpreting our genome, said Professor Tremethick. There are over 250 different cell types in the human body, and while the DNA sequence of these is essentially the same, their epigenetic information or profiles are very different. Additionally, our entire DNA is compacted into a structure known as chromatin.
Epigenetic information controls gene expression, ensuring that only genes for a specific cell type are turned on, while inappropriate genes are switched off by opening or closing the structure of chromatin.
Regulation of this epigenetic information significantly contributes to embryonic development, and ensures our capacity to reproduce. Mis-regulation of our epigenetic code has been directly implicated in many common human diseases, as well as contributing to human infertility, he said.
The research teams study characterized the epigenetic changes that occur during sperm development, and in doing so identified a novel epigenetic mark, called H2A.Lap1.
Our research revealed that H2A.Lap1 regulates sperm gene expression by directly opening the chromatin structure at the start site of active genes, said Professor Tremethick.
The study has therefore uncovered a new way to activate genes, which could help us understand how cellular differentiation is achieved. In the future, this could also allow for the development of treatments for male infertility which operate at the epigenetic level.

I Need Science!
So, now that I've listed off all that stuff, the topic for the thread is this: List underrated or seemingly irrelevant discoveries/ideas/practices that were prerequisites for today's technologies that we take for granted. The human pyramid of scientific progress wouldn't have gotten far without some of those giants and even little people at the base. They deserve their kudos.
One of the great beginning technologies I'll start off with is a primal idea that helped kickstart the whole "civilization" thing: Division of labor. "Hey, I'll hunt, you gather, and you over there, see if you can figure out if any of these plants can be useful in unexpected ways."

Yay, we're going to play "way back machine". I'm going to hit you with who ever discovered the abilities of yeast. Of course they didn't get it's science based workings, but they knew it accomplished some really cool things with food products. Nice poofy breads and other bakery goods, and of course some nice alcoholic beverages. When you look at "sour dough" starter it's positively grotesque. Some families I know have passed on a continuing line of it for a few generations.
You said you wanted fluffy, so how's that?
Ohh uber fluffy, marshmallow plants. Althaea officinalis… - 8/20/2009 9:11 PM

The Phonoautograph. My favorite is the one Bell made using an ear from a human cadaver.
Is fluffy enough for you? - 8/20/2009 9:38 PM
I have to agree with Division of Labour (but I'm an economist so I would say that wouldn't I?). Division of Labour is civilisation.
As for my pick: The people who invented bureaucracy. Bureaucracies aren't exactly the model of efficiency, but they are much better than the patronage-based systems they replaced. So thanks to you long-forgotten mandarins who created the first bureaucracy, I'll go and fill out the forms necessary to sing your praises. - 8/21/2009 12:42 AM
Decimal numbers. Can you imagine trying to do numerical integration with Roman numerals?

Considering my career, I'm going with Archimedes. He was (possibly arguably) the first to figure out buoyancy, and his screw pump was further developed into the fasterners that are used to hold together a large number of things that we use today.
He came up with a couple of ideas that have been expanded but are still in use over 2200 years later. - 8/21/2009 7:06 AM
Wax moulding. Probably the first kind of moulding that resulted in semi-permanent objects and eventually led to the ability to make exact duplicates of machine parts, without which technology would be impossible.
In fact, since we're talking about wax, we might as well go with a wholesale kudos to the people who domesticated bees. - 8/21/2009 9:19 AM
I think this counts. I used a lot as we approached Y2k:
The Sumerians built early chariots to fit men and horses. They learned that all wheels had to be the same distance apart or axles would break in the ruts of solidified mud after rain or flooding.
Cart and wagon makers adopted this same technology and built their cart wheels the same distance apart, so they wouldn't break axles either.
When the first locomotives were built in Great Britain, the British cartmakers were asked to construct the coaches, so the rail-width was the same as the coaches before them.
So, railroad tracks are 'that far' apart becasue a horses ass is about this wide.
(yes, I know that American tracks are not the same, narrow guage vs. standard, etc. I also know that some or all of this may be apocryphal or folk etymology. But you asked for fluffy...) - 8/21/2009 5:04 PM

That story usually ends with rocket engines being about the width of a horse's ass.
So, railroad tracks are 'that far' apart becasue a horses ass is about this wide.
Both Russians and Americans have a different track width compared to Western Europeans... Just a point :)
Now when does white fellows where mentioned, lets see, Computers, modern Medicine, Space Rockets, mmm... Yes, you got these tribes in Africa that have this dance and chanting to remove the evil spirit, very advanced stuff....
Cellphones? McDonalds? Microsoft? We all take it for granted, do we not? Cars? Electricity? Two white boys if counting Tesla.
Ah the glory of White man, but yet so evil, right? And Bad... Just bad.]]]]] - 8/23/2009 9:17 AM

You do realize that without genetic evidence to prove the existence of a link between being arbitrarily called "white" and being able to perform experiments, you might as well be talking about the wonders Coca-Cola drinkers have brought us versus those of Pepsi-Drinkers.
Oh, and you do realize there are plenty of white people who reject all that science and medical stuff, anyway: Homeopaths, chiropractors, Creationists, Secretards, etcetera. How do you explain the inability of their "whiteness" to counteract that?
Let me guess: Magic! - 8/23/2009 9:22 AM
You are the ones speaking about genetic superiority]/inferior(ness), I start to speak about Z you start claiming X, been going on for a long time.
You need to make up your mind, meme or genetics? Your jumping back and forth and then claim I made claims which I never even spoke of, panic in the delusions of Dog? The truth is starting to break down that wall? - 8/23/2009 9:35 AM
- Bronze Dog said...
Reading comprehension fail. Take an English class. Genes went so far up until the recent geologic blink of an eye just before civilization started. Then memes took over when our tools and practices got sophisticated enough to substitute for raw gray matter. There is no genetic evidence to suggest there is a difference among groups of modern humans in terms of neurological development.
Success in the scientific world depends entirely on memes and the good fortune to be able to acquire good ones at a school. That often depends on geography of your birth and social status. Memes and circumstances.
Also, I'm not seeing how you explain away all the "white" idiots and psuedosciences. I can easily explain this as the result of poor education, lack of exposure to relevant evidence, and circulation of anti-science memes. About all I can imagine you doing to explain it is claiming that all these "white" pseudoscientists are corrupted by unspecified magical genes, since you're chronically afraid of talking about genetic evidence. - 8/23/2009 9:44 AM

Racist troll:
Can you prove that white men only are behind the science and technology that gave those things you mention.
How do you define 'white people'?
And the gauge of rail tracks is an urban myth. - 8/23/2009 9:49 AM

Here's a fundamental thing that all those modern inventions would be possible without: Zero. Mathematics wouldn't be the same if we didn't have zero.
The Babylonians got the early idea started. The Greeks did a lot of head scratching over zero, doing some masturbation over alleged paradoxes of labeling a "nothing" as nothing. Then India got the concept down pat. - 8/23/2009 9:58 AM
- Jimmy Blue said...
I was thinking about making a list of all the black, Islamic, Jewish and Asian scientists that make everything we have now possible and are still contributing to human knowledge.
But he'd ignore it or change his position yet again so why bother. - 8/23/2009 10:31 AM
