Wow, what a short, but amazing trip this has been! We are packing for our trip back to San Francisco, and as I try to cram an unnatural amount of swag into my too-small suitcase, I can't even process all that's gone on the last few days. All I know, is I can't wait to back back to work.
Last night we attended the birthday party of a new friend of ours, Sarah Simmons, pictured here next to my old running buddy, Jennifer Heigl, from Daily Blender (right). I've been friends with Sarah on Twitter for a while now, and we finally got to meet. Say what you will about Twitter, and its possible responsibility for the downfall of our society, but anything that allows like-minded people to connect to one another can't be all bad. Sarah, who publishes the blog, sarahmcsimmons.com, is a formidable foodie, and you'll be reading more about her on this blog in the future.
Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned for a brand new video recipe tomorrow!

I hope people know that "running buddy" is an old term for a drinking buddy and not that we used to go jogging together! ;-)

As soon as I saw this recipe in the BBC Good Food Christmas magazine I knew it was what we'd be eating after Christmas lunch. If I was in a romcom, I could tell the BBC they had me at "trifle cheesecake".
Christmas would be much more drab without sprinkles:
When you think about it, some cheesecakes already have a thick fruity layer on top but more of a set coulis than jelly. The jelly works really well and lightens the whole dessert. It was definitely a crowd pleaser.
I thought I had lined my tin pretty thoroughly, and also thought I had spread out the cheesecake layer to close off any holes. Wrong. That liquid jelly is a terror and I say this to prepare you for the likelihood of leakage. Take precautions in advance – lots of kitchen paper under the tin will prevent it looking like a jelly massacre took place shortly before you opened the fridge door. Also have a spare packet of jelly to make up for the jelly lost in leakage; it looks a bit weird if your raspberries are left poking out the top! (Not a sentence I ever thought I'd type)
Apologies for the poor quality photos; the light wasn't great and, by this point in events, I had roast potato-fuelled inertia. In other words....a typical Christmas! Hope you all had a good one!
100g unsalted butter
3 tablespoons Bird's custard powder

100ml double cream
900g cream cheese – I used Philadelphia

I glanced at my watch: 1:45 p.m. Did this make sense? I had a window of about two hours before a meeting at 4.
I would be leaving that evening for upstate New York, and this would be my only opportunity to view the action of the America's Cup other than TV or the Internet. It would be over by the time I got back Sunday. This could be my last chance to see the boats in Rhode Island. I was already at the Airport Connector and I could be in Newport in about 30 minutes, if I didn't run into too much traffic.
But I knew better.
Thirty minutes to Newport was cutting it short and by the time I found a parking place, assuming that was possible, I might have 10 minutes before having to head back.
Maybe I could catch a glimpse of the show from Fort Wetherill. It was closer and a parking place seemed possible; and it was free. Free is good.
I turned onto the connector. There was no turning back. Traffic flowed smoothly. This was going to happen. Only when I reached Fort Wetherill was there a line of cars. Up ahead, a man in the green uniform of the Department of Environmental Management and a florescent vest directed vehicles onto a field. On the road ahead, pedestrians streamed toward the water toting lawn chairs and coolers.
I pulled up and explained I would be less than an hour and was looking to get a few pictures of the crowd. To my surprise I was waved on.
"They'll tell you where to park down there," he said gesturing.
In another five minutes, I was walking the last bit of road that climbs the ridge overlooking the harbor and the whir of action in the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Boats ranging from kayaks to mega yachts spotted the waters. In their midst, easily distinguished by their giant carbon fiber foils that stood like tree trunks, were the AC45s. A couple of the boats appeared motionless, as if tethered to a mooring, while a pair of them maneuvered through the spectator fleet to the north. Vessels with flashing lights patrolled the perimeters of the racecourse. Like humming birds, helicopters hovered over the scene and then, for no apparent reason, buzzed off only to return. I paused to eavesdrop on what a man was saying to a group gathered around him.
"There's been a delay," he said offering no explanation.
I was straining for more details when I heard my name and looked up to see my neighbor, John Roberts.
He was on his way out.
"I can't tell what they're doing. A lot of going back and forth," he said.
He had already been there 90 minutes and was ready to head home. Nonetheless, he took me in tow and directed me to a path that climbed a knoll giving the full scope of the scene. I had a clear view of Fort Adams and its shore, dotted with people. The wind was from the southwest and funneling up the bay.
With tremendous acceleration, one of the two boats lulling below us shot out. In seconds it was slicing through the water on one of its two hulls, leaving a white wake. Just as quickly it came to a stop.
I heard my name again. This time it was Ken MacNaught with a pair of binoculars hung around his neck. He had the course figured out.
He pointed out vessels flying huge flags that made up the ends of the starting line. Compared to the course when the America's Cub was last raced off Newport, this was a go-cart track.
Back then, the races were held in Rhode Island Sound, a couple of miles off shore. An armada followed the 12 meters, including, as I remember, a couple of naval vessels commissioned to serve as point boats at ends of the course. Very important people got invited to go on them, to see about five minutes of action at the end of a very long day spent in the sun and wind. The Coast Guard Auxiliary was assigned to the media, at least that's where I ended up. We got to follow the action on one side of the course.
This day, in front of us, the AC45s were jockeying for position. A ripple of excitement flowed through the spectators but it didn't last long. A boat towing what appeared to be a trio of inflatable Jersey barriers steered down the middle of the course. Ken trained his binoculars on them. Expectation built again; only to disperse as the assembly headed to the far shore.
For all the high tech display in front of us, and for all the smart phones spectators had in their pockets, no one had a clue to what was happening, except, naturally, those running the event. I suppose people at Fort Adams were given minute-by-minute descriptions of what was going on.
I glanced at my watch. I had another 10 minutes and would have to head back to Warwick. As the three of us looked over the water, Barbara DeCesare, carrying her camera, stopped over to say hello.
"I'll email you photos," promised the former city director of human services (who went on to head the Rhode Island Chapter of the American Red Cross for many years). I got her photos the following morning.
John and I took the trail back to the cars. It was then I learned of the unusual gift his wife Sue gave him; 10 laps at the wheel of a stockcar on Thompson Speedway. He was smiling, his eyes sparkling. It sounded exhilarating, being strapped into such a muscle machine, the sheer power on the straight-aways and being coached with an ear bud through the curves as other drivers on the course tried passing you.
It was enough to start dreaming for me, about the feel of the windward hull of the AC45 lifting; the spray flying as the boat knifed through the waves; the crew scrambling to crank winches and push the boat that tad bit faster; the intensity of it all. It was better than what any head cam could show on television or a YouTube video and I could imagine it all as I sat stalled in the beach traffic on Route 4.
John can have his stockcars. I want an AC45 … just for 20 minutes.

If the Mosel is the oldest center of wine production in Germany, dating to Roman times, then the Nahe is one of the youngest areas to develop significant plantings. That doesn't mean that vines are a recent addition to the landscape-- even through they were planted roughly six centuries after the first plantings in the Mosel region, this still places their arrival somewhere in the eighth century.
The Nahe region is named after the river that crosses the valleys of the forested Hunsrück Hills toward Bingen on the Rhine. The Nahe is geologically diverse, with three major distinct subregions plus many interesting outlying towns. Therefore, Nahe wines are capable of being diverse despite being produced from only a few grape varieties. At their best, Nahe Rieslings are incredibly complex, with distinct floral, fruit, and mineral elements. As befits the region's geographical location (southeast of the Mosel, but west of the vineyards in the Rhinegau and Rhinehessen), wines from the Nahe rest somewhere between these other two regions in style. We often find in these Rieslings the delicacy and acidity of wines from the Mosel married with the roundness and increased opulence of wines from the Rhine.
Like wines from the Rhine, you'll find Rieslings from the Nahe bottled in tall, brown flutes, compared to the green flutes of the Mosel-Saar Ruwer.

fringe needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
We are a startup with members coming from the adult toys industry. We want to target the premium section of the adult market so we need a brand to reflect sophistication and refinement. We definitely aren't elitists, but want to cater more to an audience that is ignored.
We LOVE giving feedback!
Our target audience consists of mid- to high-end consumers that have an interest in various fetishes. We are targeting the same consumers that shop at places like edenfantasys.com. Our consumers are typically college-educated professionals.
We aren't focused on the hardcore or deviant culture. :)
The logo needs to focus more on the word Fringe. It should be able to stand on its own and be decent if printed black and white.
For our different properties, we will be adding other words to it. For example, Fringe Shop. The Shop should be able to exist with the Fringe logo.
As for color, red or green should be avoided. Black, purple or non-standard blues or yellows would be interesting to see. The other colors are cool to experiment with.
As for font, sans-serif fonts are preferred, but open to creative approaches. Overall, we don't want the logo to be heavy.
We want to break away from the current adult industry logo styles and go for a style closer to other luxury markets like watches, liquor, or fashion.
Watches Examples:
Our main point to stress is that we want to approach the market with a brand that shows sophistication and refinement despite the market that we are in.
Much thanks!
Fringe Team

The provisional calendar for the MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Race Championship has been released, and it features a 10-stop tour for American road racing.
The 2017 calendar looks like an improvement over the 2016 schedule, with fewer gaps between races and no repeat venues. Fans will also welcome the return of Sonoma Raceway (that's Sears Point to you locals) to the calendar, as well as the debut of Pittsburgh International Race Complex (one of my personal favorite tracks).
Geographically, the 2017 MotoAmerica calendar makes a lot more sense too, with more of a logical progression across the map between races, a benefit for teams and logistics personnel.
Fans from around the USA should be able to get to at least one round within a day's travel by car, which should help attendance numbers.

November 5th is Guy Fawkes Day, or Bonfire Night, a day when those in Britain commemorate the original celebration of 1605, when mercenary Guy Fawkes was captured and the Gunpowder Plot was foiled. On the very night that the plot was thwarted, bonfires were set alight throughout the streets of London to celebrate the safety of King James I. Since then, the event is commemorated every year with fireworks and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire. Throughout history, the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was not the only failed conspiracy attempt against those in power. Learn about the Gunpowder Plot as well some others plots that have taken place around the world, and those that have foiled them.
New resources that will be added to the ipl2 are noted NEW! All other resources are already listed in the ipl2 collection.
House of Commons Information Office: The Gunpowder Plot (find it on ipl2)
The Gunpowder Plot led to a commemorative event that has taken place in England since 1605. This site provides information from the United Kingdom Parliament about the Gunpowder Plot, the name given to the conspiracy to blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5, 1605. Guy (or Guido) Fawkes was considered to be the major conspirator.
The Gunpowder Plot: Parliament & Treason 1605 (find it on ipl2)
The celebration of the Guy Fawkes or Bonfire Night is an event that can be traced back some 400 years. This site was created in 2005 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot in England. It "traces the background of the Plot using original material from the period held in the archives of the Houses of Parliament and in other archives."
The Alger Hiss Story: Search for the Truth (find it on ipl2)
Alger Hiss was accused of being a communist spy, setting off the McCarthy period of the 1950s. He continued to claim his innocence after his release. "Marking the 50th anniversary of Alger Hiss's imprisonment, this site provides a study of this controversial American case."
Trial of the Lincoln Assassination Conspirators (find it on ipl2)
The University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law Famous Trials collection has a webpage that gives a concise overview of the events before, on, and after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, including the trial against the conspirators.
NEW! What You Didn't Know About John Wilkes Booth & Jesse James
This webpage describes unproven conspiracy theories surrounding the deaths of Abraham Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth and outlaw Jesse James as a result of their involvement with the secret society Knights of the Golden Circle.
The Roswell Incident and Project Mogul (find it on ipl2)
The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry promotes "scientific inquiry, critical investigation, and the use of reason in examining controversial and extraordinary claims." In this web page they discuss the alleged UFO Roswell incident of 1947.
Conspiracy of the death of Julius Caesar – An Annotated Guide to Online Resources – Julius Caesar (find it on ipl2)
"This site includes links to primary sources such as Suetonius and Plutarch, in Latin and English, as well as Gaius Julius Caesar's own accounts of his campaigns. There are timelines of Caesar's career and essays on the Roman Empire." The site is searchable and contains the well-known account of the assassination of Julius Caesar as written by Plutarch.
The Death of Caesar according to Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (find it on ipl2: Arts and Humanities – History – History by Region – European History – Antiquity)
"Livius is a website on ancient history written and maintained since 1996 by the Dutch historian Jona Lendering." This resource is a primary excerpt by Suetonius, a well-known Roman biographer and historian, from his work Lives of the Twelve Caesars, which is an account of the conspirators working towards the death of Julius Caesar. While his account is rather poetic, it is also considered to be the most popular as well as the most accurate.
NEW! Pazzi Conspiracy against Lorenzo and Giuliano de Medici: Death of a Medici: The Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478
This weblog gives a detailed and image-filled account of the Pazzi family's conspiracy against the Medici family in Italy in 1478. The entry mentions modern references including a podcast and video game video to the conspiracy as well as current books about the conspiracy based upon archival evidence from this incredible event in Florentine history.
Lost Splendor by Felix Yussupov (find it on ipl2 – Arts & Humanities – History – History by Era – 20th Century History)
The Alexander Palace Time Machine hosts the memoirs of Prince Yussupov, one of the chief conspirators in the plot to kill Rasputin (for his account of conspiracy, see Chapters XXII-XXIV). His claim that Rasputin was "the reincarnation of Satan himself" and was "raised from the dead by the powers of evil" after being poisoned and shot sounds improbable, and it is possible that Yussupov introduced the elements of supernatural evil to help justify the murder. Check out the rest of the Alexander Palace Time Machine for more great resources on Imperial Russia.
NEW! Rasputin Assassinated by British Secret Service: BBC Timewatch Documentary
According to this BBC press release, historian Andrew Cook has uncovered evidence that the British secret agent Oswald Rayner (mentioned in Chapter XXIV of Yussupov's account) fired the bullet that killed Rasputin.
NEW! Russian Palace Revolution: Peter III Dethroned, Catherine II Ascends
In the summer of 1762, the future Catherine the Great and the Imperial Guards conspired to arrest Catherine's husband, Emperor Peter III of Russia, and proclaim Catherine the reigning Empress (perhaps emulating Peter's aunt Elizabeth, who also seized the throne with help from the guards). This article is part of the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library's "On This Day" series highlighting events in Russian history.
NEW! The Napoleon Series: The Infernal Machine
This article from the Napoleon Series describes the event known as The Infernal Machine or Plot of the Rue Saint-Nicaise, which was an assassination attempt on Napoleon and his family that took place on Christmas Eve 1800 as the group traveled to the Paris Opera to attend the opening of Haydn's "Creation." The bomb was not detonated in time and missed Napoleon's carriage. However, as many as fifty-two bystanders were killed and injured in the blast. Napoleon, his wife Josephine, and their party which contained Napoleon's stepdaughter and sister continued on to the Opera and were greeted by applause.
NEW! The Life of Napoleon: Chapitre 28: The Plot to Assassinate Napoleon:
Shortly after the failed assassination attempt known as the Infernal Machine, William Pitt and Comte d'Artois wasted no time helping to organize the next plot against Napoleon Bonaparte, the 1804 Royalist Plot to kidnap Napoleon, better known as the Cadoudal Plot. Chapter 28 from this resource on the Life of Napoleon details how the plot was foiled and led to the arrests of a large number of conspirators, including the Duke d'Enghien and Generals Jean Moreau and Jean Pichegru. Its leader and chief planner, Georges Cadoudal, was captured and executed after refusing to ask for a pardon, Pichegru is believed to have killed himself in prison, and Moreau was exiled.
NEW! The d'Enghien Affair: Crime or Blunder?
This article from the Napoleon Series describes the ongoing debate as to the involvement of the Duke d'Enghien, the son of the Duke of Bourbon, in the infamous Cadoudal Plot. Although information given to Napoleon on the Duke's involvement was later dismissed, the Duke was shot to death by firing squad just a few moments after the Military Commission sentenced him to death for high treason. Prior to his death, many had viewed d'Enghien as one of the more active young men of the counter-revolution, after he declared himself the eternal enemy of the Republic of France.

OTTAWA, TORONTO The Harper government will aim to get consumers spending with a federal budget today that provides tax breaks for middle- and lower-income Canadians, incentives for home renovations and a promise of relief for credit-card borrowers.
The budget - which many are calling the most important since the deficit-fighting budgets of the mid-1990s - will also resolve the government's future, as opposition leaders decide whether to defeat the Tories and replace them with a Liberal-NDP coalition or force an election.
In addition to the $13-billion already announced, The Globe and Mail has learned that Finance Minister Jim Flaherty plans modest but permanent tax breaks for people in middle- and lower-income tax brackets, with one senior official saying the cuts will apply to those earning $80,000 a year or less. Money will also be provided for home renovations, although it's unclear how much the program will be worth.
Mr. Flaherty will also move to give Ottawa power to regulate credit cards, allowing the federal government to intervene if necessary, sources said.
The Finance Minister will outline his concerns about the lack of a uniform grace period for the payment of credit-card bills and insufficient disclosure of the terms consumers are signing up for when using them, including interest rates. The government will await responses from card companies, but sources said it expects it will ultimately have to regulate.
The grace period is the time between the statement date and the date payment is due. Banks and other credit-card issuers determine their own grace periods, which generally vary from 15 to 26 days. The longer the grace period, the less interest a customer could have to pay.
Mr. Flaherty signalled to bank chief executives at a meeting this month that he wanted to take some kind of consumer-oriented action on cards, according to sources.
The Finance Minister has said that the top concern he has heard from Canadians leading up to the budget is access to credit. He clashed with the banks last month when he said he wanted them to demonstrate that they are making credit more available.
The budget is expected to include a deficit of $34-billion in the fiscal year beginning April 1, and $30-billion in 2010-2011.
The overall stimulus package is expected to exceed $30-billion over a two-year period, putting Canada into deficit for the first time in 13 years.
Among other measures, sources said, the Tories expect to accelerate already planned corporate-tax reductions. The existing plan, laid out in a mini-budget last fall, calls for the rate, now 19 per cent, to sink to 15 per cent by 2012.
It's already slated to fall to 18 per cent in 2010, 16.5 per cent in 2011 and 15 per cent in 2012.
The government will also expand the amount of money available for lending to business via Export Development Canada and the Business Development Bank of Canada.
The home-renovation program is expected to go above and beyond the energy-retrofit program launched in 2007, which offered $220-million in grants to help Canadians improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper told CTV News yesterday that the Conservatives will be expanding incentives for retrofit programs, but suggested the budget's efforts will go beyond that. "As you know in the Speech from the Throne in November, the government did say at the time that the energy-retrofit program is one of the things that this government will be expanding going forward," Mr. Harper said.
"Stay tuned for additional budget measures. Obviously, we want to make sure that consumers are participating in this recovery and that we are ensuring that construction activity on all levels stays strong across this country."
The Harper government has been floating the idea of a refundable tax credit for home renovations.
During an early January closed-door budget consultation in Montreal, Mr. Flaherty asked participants their opinion on a partly refundable tax credit for renovations. Some economists among the more than 20 attendees criticized the proposal while representatives of the building-trades sector lauded it.
Tax credits can be used to reduce the amount of taxes a person owes to the government, but refundable tax credits can benefit filers even if they have no taxes to be paid; in that case, they could get a refund based on the credit.
Sources said Mr. Flaherty will use the budget to advance his plan to create a national securities regulator, although they declined to say precisely what the minister would do. Such a move could further inflame relations with some provinces, especially Quebec and Alberta, where premiers have threatened to challenge Mr. Flaherty's bid in court. Earlier this month, a blue-ribbon panel endorsed Mr. Flaherty's long-held goal of replacing the country's 13 provincial and territorial bodies with a single entity.
Departing from convention on budget secrecy, the Tories have unveiled $13-billion of spending measures ahead of today's fiscal plan, including $7-billion in new infrastructure funding showcased by Transport Minister John Baird yesterday.
Mr. Baird said the Tories will create a $4-billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund to help provinces, territories and municipalities get more job-rich public-works projects started.
Mr. Baird added an important caveat, though, saying that other levels of government will have to pitch in to get some of this new money.
But even as Mr. Harper was urging against an election, his party was using the risk of one to raise money. Senior Conservative fundraiser Senator Irving Gerstein sent a note to Tory faithful yesterday asking for donations for a possible election campaign.
"We need to be prepared should an election be forced by the opposition parties. That's why I'm asking all of our dedicated supporters like you to make a donation of $200 or $100 right now," Mr. Gerstein wrote in an e-mail.

The red-hot Mets will attempt to keep it rolling tonight in Cleveland behind Jon Niese, who appears to have turned the corner since coming off the disabled list.
In his two starts since, Niese is 2-0 with a 0.56 ERA, which included a one-hit shutout in his last start – missing a perfect game by that hit.
"Hopefully I don't give up any runs the rest of the year, but that's probably not going to happen,'' Niese told reporters. " I just go out there and try to put up zeroes every time, and when I don't have good stuff that day, just do what I can to keep the team in the game.''

ASPEN, Colo.—An Aspen man has pleaded guilty to careless driving after he was cited for a run-in with a security guard at the 2012 X Games.
Martin Horowitz told authorities he was frustrated when the guard told him that he couldn't drive into the main entrance at the Buttermilk ski resort, where he was a ski instructor. But he said he didn't mean to injure the man, who jumped onto the hood of Horowitz's SUV when he accelerated.
According to the Aspen Daily News ( http://tinyurl.com/bvsdadd), the incident happened in 2012, a day before the X Games started. The parking area at the time was only open to buses and event personnel with passes.
A judge fined Horowitz $300 but suspended $200.

Every time I hear or see the word Berliner, I think of JFK's speech back in the 60's where in he states to the citizens of Berlin "Ich bin ein Berliner" or in English: I am a jelly donut. Of course it was a valiant attempt to bond and be part of the crowd but the addition of one little three letter word "ein" changed the meaning completely. Which brings me to this month's Saveur magazine. One first site of the front cover, I knew I was a gonner. Destined to attempt yet again some donut type treat. The gorgeous photo won me over instantly. I was ready to try try again. Now I haven't attempted gluten free donuts per say but I have attempted churros twice and we've made beignets many times. Cake donuts hold no love for me, no, for me the yeasted gluten free donut is the holy grail and I'm on a pilgrimage. There were several yeasted donut recipes to choose from but the three that held my attention longest and repeatedly were the Berliner (perhaps as we just finished with the Paczki season), the Long John (as I love custard filling) or the vanilla glazed donut. Oddly each recipe for the dough was quite different from one another. I would have thought one dough fits all and I still do. So I made Berliner dough and figured I would stuff some with custard, some with jelly and cut the holes out of some and make your normal hole-y donut too.
You may consider this cheating, but for my flours I used a box of the King Arthur GF all purpose flour. Yes, it's expensive and yes I could mix my own, but I thought I would try their mix.
I had high hopes. They have since fallen.
They were like deep fried bread with a glaze on it. Heavy and yeasty. Of course my yeast didn't seem to be working at all so then I added more yeast and it still didn't seem to be alive, so just a dash more. Uuups. The glaze I made is great. The custard I made is great. You can't stuff enough custard in my donut to make it worthwhile. I choose to not waste my homemade blackberry jelly in them until I get better results, so no Berliner either. As soon as Saveur posts their recipe I will link to it, even though it was a fail. The only thing I did differently was add 1 tbs of xanthan gum as the gf flour mix I used doesn't have any in it.
So I am currently repurposing the dough. It seemed like they might make good bagels or pretzels with the density of the dough. So I have added poppy seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, dried shallots, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. I put it in a warmish spot to rise. Then I boiled them briefly with a bit of sugar and baking soda and baked them for 30 minutes. Here's the end result:
They look and taste a lot like a bagel but are flakey and tender, not what I am looking for in a bagel. Am I going to slather them with butter or cream cheese and eat them anyway? Yep.
i'm out

Paul Chambers
This recording is the result of two sessions from late 1958 (the other was released in Japan as Blues in the Night). The 45 Sessions CD also includes three alternate takes from the 1957 Sonny Clark Trio date (BN 1579) with Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. The remaining tunes feature Sonny with drummer Wes Landers and bassist Jymie Merritt (who went on to join Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers). In contrast to the hard-driving bebop approach of the 1957 session, this material is very relaxed. Intended for release as 45 singles, the tunes are generally short interpretations of popular standards. Clark's left hand comping is informed more by Ahmad Jamal than Bud Powell. Landers primarily uses brushes and has a less aggressive approach than Philly Joe. The result is some of Sonny's most accessible piano trio work, with beautiful chord voicings and harmonizations and a very coherent group sound. Note that this material is also included in Blue Note's 1998 domestic Sonny Clark release entitled Standards. ~ Lee Bloom

Smith, a fifth-year senior from Margate, Fla., was named to the A-Sun All-Conference First Team as a starting pitcher. Wilson was named to the A-Sun All-Freshman Team. Coaches and media relations personnel in the conference voted on the teams.
Smith is ranked fourth nationally in the NCAA in strikeouts with 124, a career high. He struck out more than 100 batters in each of the last two seasons. He is ranked 25 in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings with 10.64. He is 35th overall in wins with eight.
In the Atlantic Sun he is second in strikeouts and first in batters struck out looking with 42. His eight wins ties him for second in the conference.
"Anybody who watched our team play this season knew we were a better team when Josh was on the mound," Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand said. "He gave us an opportunity to win every game."
The Bisons finished with a 19-36 record overall this season.
"If you look at our season Josh was involved in some way in half of our wins," Forehand said. "He gave our team confidence every time he pitched. Winning this honor is a fitting way for him to end his career here."
Wilson, a walk-on from Wheeler High School in Wheeler, Miss., proved to be the most pleasant surprise for the Bisons this season. He is the brother of Lipscomb senior center fielder Tyler Wilson.
Lee led the Bisons in hitting with a .339 average. He had nine doubles, two triples and one home run. He recorded 17 multi-hit games and five multi-RBI games. He had a 12-game hitting streak which was the second longest of the season.
"Lee was a surprise," Forehand said. "When I look at where he started in the fall and what he had to do to earn an opportunity to be on this team I couldn't be more pleased with him.
"He worked his way into the starting line-up and started batting in the top part of the order. We weren't expecting him to do that. "
Forehand stressed that once Lee had a chance to break into the line-up he was not giving up his spot.
"We didn't have anybody who was more consistent day-to-day," Forehand said. "He was a tough out.
"I told him in our last meeting that he should be proud of what he accomplished this season. He is very deserving of this award."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The gift of a gun may be high on many Floridians' holiday shopping lists.
[RECOMMENDED: Man tried to trade gator for beer | Porn star busted in prostitution bust]
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says it is on target to conduct nearly 1 million background checks this year on private firearm purchases. The projection comes as the department is reporting a record number of reviews conducted over the Thanksgiving weekend that typically kicks off the year-end holiday shopping season.
"We have definitely seen an increase in the number of background checks over the past several years," FDLE spokeswoman Samantha Andrews said Monday.
"You can see November and December are relatively larger" for sales.
Andrews declined to speculate on the reason for the increase and said the checks are only conducted on the individuals making purchases.
National Rifle Association lobbyist Marion Hammer said that in addition to buying firearms as gifts, guns sales have grown due to the improved economy and an effort by merchants to move stock by offering enticing holiday sales.
"I think it's a combination of people wanting to take advantage of sales as well as the gift giving," Hammer said. "The retailers I talked to ... they feel the economy may be starting to recover, or people are relaxing a little more, and are starting to turn loose some of the money they were reluctant to spend. And it's that time of year."
Neal Crasnow, owner of Al's Army Navy in Orlando, says a good reason the numbers of background checks are up is because more women are buying guns.
"I think the industry has done a good job of saying, 'hey, look, we're for everybody,'" he said. "We're not just for a certain group of people. It's attracted more people in that way."
The FDLE recorded approximately 823,000 checks on firearms purchases as of Dec. 15, of which about 40,000 were from December. Last December, the department recorded more than 110,000 checks.
The 2013 number already surpasses the 797,000 background checks conducted in 2012. There were roughly 610,000 checks conducted in 2011.
[SEE THESE? Tattoos so real it's scary | Mug shot hall of shame | Fashionable felons]
Each check includes criminal history and mental-health database reviews.
Times can fluctuate depending upon demand, but the agency aims for a 4 minute turn-around when a check is conducted by a dealer over the phone, Andrews said.
The check can also be done online.
Fewer than 6 percent of the checks result in a sale being denied, Andrews said.
There were nearly 13,500 checks conducted the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving, up from 13,200 during the same period a year earlier.
The increased number of checks comes at the same time as Florida has a record number of concealed-weapon or firearm licenses issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
The consumer services department reported that as of Nov. 30, there were 1,195,645 concealed weapon or firearm licenses issued in Florida. The state went over the 1 million mark a year ago, becoming the first state in the nation to surpass that figure.

Rays provide glimpse of significant Trop renovations
Creation of walkways behind outfield seating to allow full fan navigation of lower bowl
ST. PETERSBURG -- Making the best of their situation at Tropicana Field, the Rays unveiled their plans for a major renovation to their home ballpark that will be in place for the 2014 season.
"These renovations reflect our constant commitment to providing a first-class gameday experience at Tropicana Field," principal owner Stuart Sternberg said in a release by the team. "A visit to the ballpark will be even more enjoyable because of these new features and attractions."
While the Rays have made no secret they would like a new stadium, they continue to try and improve the fan experience at Tropicana Field.
Tuesday morning, a contingent of club officials handed out hard hats before leading a media gathering through some of the construction currently taking place at Tropicana Field.
Prominent among the improvements is the creation of walkways behind the outfield seating area and opening up what had been the Batters Eye restaurant into center field for an open-air meeting spot. The end effect is 360-degree pedestrian circulation around the lower bowl that will allow fans to never lose sight of the action taking place on the field.
Rays fans already enjoy a similar sensation at Charlotte Sports Park, the team's Spring Training facility in Port Charlotte, Fla.
"This project will significantly enhance the total ballpark experience," said Rays senior vice president of development and business affairs Michael Kalt. "It will make it much easier for our patrons to navigate the ballpark, and allow them to enjoy the game from exciting new areas and dynamic new vantage points."
Kalt noted that the Rays wanted to give their fans a more intimate feeling at the ballpark. In addition, they wanted to show commitment to the fan base in the region. The price tag for the project will be approximately $750,000 and will result in the removal of approximately 3,000 seats, mostly to accommodate the new outfield walkways. Capacity for regular-season baseball games at Tropicana Field in 2014 is expected to be 31,042.
Having improved pedestrian circulation will provide easier access to and from ballpark gates, concessions and activity areas throughout the facility. Existing cross aisles in the lower bowl will be extended from the left- and right-field foul poles to create a walkway lined with drink rails as it winds toward center field.
The renovations will also create a more dynamic experience in the area just above the center-field wall previously occupied by the Everglades BBQ Smokehouse. No longer a walled- and glassed-in space set apart from the game, it will be transformed into a unique patio with open views of the playing field and new food and beverage areas easily accessible to all ballpark patrons.
A new deck overlooking the Rays Touch Tank will connect the patio to the new walkway at its right-field entrance. A more traditional batter's eye structure, meeting all Major League Baseball specifications, will also be installed.
As a result of the renovation project, visitors to the ballpark will be able to access the entire lower seating bowl directly from the escalators located at the main rotunda entrance of Tropicana Field.
The Rays partnered with award-winning sports architects Populous, who designed the renovations to Charlotte Sports Park.
The current project builds on the more than $20 million the Rays have invested in Tropicana Field since 2006, including the creation of the Hancock Bank Club, major improvements to the interior of the ballpark, the installation of new video boards and sound system, as well as the addition of the Ted Williams Museum and Hitters Hall of Fame located in Center Field Street.
Renderings of the project are also available for fans to view at raysbaseball.com/rays360. Fans will be able to access additional content and images via the Rays' social media channels (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) using the hashtag #RAYS360.

Who says you need a college degree to start a business? Plenty of people can't bear to wait that long, so they launch their companies long before graduation day.
While the success of these dorm-room ventures can vary widely, there are plenty of student—and former student—entrepreneurs who have become household names.
Of course, the most famous one these days is probably Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. But many more over the past 50 or so years have become so ingrained in American, if not worldwide, culture that we almost take their impact for granted. After all, Google has become a verb, right?
Granted, there is a name here you may not recognize. But that doesn't make its story any less spectacular.
So, as a nod to CNBC's "The Facebook Obsession," we collected what we think of as a top 10 list of these landmark companies. Read on for some inspiration.

zambeziman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 165 designs submitted by 36 freelance designers.
Niassa Safaris
Our Business is offering and conducting hunting safaris for dangerous and plains game animals in Mozambique Africa, such as Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Crocodile and Cape Buffalo, Sable, Kudu and Eland; the name Niassa is associated with a huge area of land in northern Mozambique called the Niassa Reserve.
Our target audience will be mostly male ages starting in their late 20s and up with the average age being late 40s to early 50s, our safari hunters come from all areas of the world but most of our marketing would be directed to the United States and at people with a higher income level with a professional background. This is only due to the high cost of being able to go on a hunting safari. The group of potential clients that we are marketing towards are the outdoors adventurous sporting type, like campers, remote travelers, extreme 4x4 off-road and so on, they are mostly male but many times do include their wives or girl friends for the experience.
Be creative with style, font and colors just come up with something that looks good and is unique, looking for something bold and impactful. Feel free to experiment with colors but would probably lean towards the darker contrast. Our name is Niassa Safaris and that is the focus of this logo but I would like to incorporate the words Mozambique, Africa into this design and probably at the bottom of the logo but this is the designers call, I feel this is needed to help people understand quickly where we are located and may also assist in SEO results. In the brief above I listed some of the main trophy animals that will be hunted during a typical safari, for idea possibilities you may want to incorporate Horns/Tusks or a outline animal image, but if you do please use an accurate drawing not looking for anything cartoonish.
This logo will be used for a website, brochures, and business cards, transferred to vinyl to be applied to vehicles and to be used for embroidering on shirts/hats/coats and so on please keep this in the plan during the design process. I will keep all designs current with feedback and as soon as possible I will change to a blind contest to protect the best designers of this contest.
Good luck to all and cant wait to see the results.

WEST HOLLYWOOD (CNS) – Investigators remained at a Sunset Strip nightclub 12 hours after where rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight and two other people were shot at a party before today's MTV Video Music Awards.
Knight, 49, reportedly was shot six times, and walked out from the nightclub following the violence, clutching his wounds. Witnesses told the celebrity website TMZ that a sheriff's deputy helped him to a squad car, where he sat until paramedics arrived.
A spokesperson at the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau said investigators were still at the scene of the shooting as of 1:15 p.m.
TMZ reported Knight had been in surgery for several hours at Cedars- Sinai Medical Center, then moved to an intensive care unit.
Sheriff's deputies would only say that two men and a woman were wounded, including one critically. A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesperson refused to confirm the identities, as it is standard department policy not to identify victims of crimes.
The Los Angeles Times, quoting unnamed law enforcement sources, also identified the rap mogul as one of the men who were shot.
The pre-Video Music Awards party had been hosted by recording artist Chris Brown at the 1OAK nightclub, 9039 W. Sunset Blvd.
Sources told TMZ the rapper Game — also known as Jayceon T. Taylor, 34 – – and some associates had fought with security guards at the club as he was denied access to the party before the shooting. Sources told TMZ he was not on the guest list.
The web site posted video in which gunfire can be heard.
The shooting was reported on 911 lines at 1:36 a.m. said Deputy Crystal Hernandez of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
One victim was transported to a hospital in critical condition, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Robert Diaz.
Hernandez did not release the names of the victims, but she noted one of the men was 49 years old, one was 32 and the woman was 19. She did not say which of the victims was in critical condition.
"They were transported to local hospitals and they are expected to recover," Hernandez said.
"Detectives from West Hollywood Sheriff's Station are responding to the scene to investigate," she said.
The suspect's status was "unknown," Hernandez said.
1OAK, also known as One Of A Kind, opened on the Sunset Strip last January, according to its website.
Knight, founder of Death Row Records, has been linked by police and investigative reporters to a string of violent crimes in the past 15 years.

The Shelby County School Board approved a board meeting schedule Thursday night for the remainder of 2014 that keeps the customary second-and-fourth-Thursday frequency except for
two additional meetings this month to allow the board to make presentations to an accreditation team.
These meetings with AdvancED Accreditation, a national firm employed by the school district to earn accreditation, will be at 10: 30 a.m. Jan. 27 and at 2:30 p.m. Jan. 29.
Superintendent James Neihof previewed for the board the presentation he will provide at those reviews.
As the state embarks on another budget cycle with education funding becoming a highly discussed issue, the state's school boards are looking for a way to ensure the voices of local educators and community leaders are heard in Frankfort.
Teachers and educators go to great lengths to encourage children to read, but the December reading challenge at Painted Stone Elementary came with a unique twist:
If students read 100 books and passed 100 Accelerated Reader tests, one of their school leaders would kiss a pig. Literally.
The challenge was the brainchild of Gigi Wheeler, PTO member and Accelerated Reader coordinator for the school.
The day before Collins High School was set to celebrate its KHSAA Class AAAA football state title, another group of students approached the school board to discuss a decision not to allow them to compete in a national competition.
The Shelby County Board of Education on Thursday approved an elementary redistricting plan that it had presented to citizens at two previous meetings.
The only change from the original proposal is that students living on Scott Station Road will remain at Painted Stone Elementary School. There was no discussion of the matter at the board meeting Thursday night before it was approved unanimously.
The Shelby County Board of Education on Thursday is scheduled to vote on an elementary redistricting plan that it had explained to citizens during two public meetings.
The district has decided that redistricting, at the elementary level only, is necessary going in to the 2014-15 school year when the new Southside Elementary School opens and can hold another 150 students.
The redistricting eliminates some overcrowding issues at Painted Stone, Simpsonville and Clear Creek, all of which are between 99.5 percent and 109.8 percent occupancy this year.
Shelby County Public Schools is sending students to college at greater rate than the state average, but the district really is excelling in keeping students there.
According to the Kentucky High School Feedback Report released early this week, Shelby sent 63.3 percent, or 429, of its 2010-11 seniors to college in the 2011-12 school year, compared to 60.2 percent of the state.
The Shelby County Board of Education on Tuesday got a repeat showing in its second elementary school redistricting forum at Painted Stone.
Although more people showed to the second forum – about 25 compared to Monday's 15 – the board heard many of the same questions and concerns on as it had at Monday's first hearing at Southside.
Energy Manager Sherman Adams continues to earn his keep through shrewd management of Shelby County Public Schools' energy needs.
Adams, in a report to the Shelby County Board of Education at Thursday's meeting, explained how the district continues to pile on savings through conservation and equipment efficiency upgrades.
Shelby County Public Schools, in its continued push to ensure that students are college or career ready when they graduate, will require all students to take vocational classes early in their high school careers.
Superintendent James Neihof, in his report Thursday to the Shelby County School Board, outlined this new approach as he discussed the vision administrators had presented to the board about striving for college readiness and the ideas proposed for career readiness.

Punks aren't known for having much money, but they usually have pretty good taste in cars. Crank the stereo, pop in a Sex Pistols or Black Flag tape, and give society the finger with these ten commenter-chosen punk rock cars.
This is Answers of the Day — a feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!

10. Decommissioned Police Crown Vic
Suggested By: thor77
Why It's Punk: What's a more ironic car for a bunch of anarchist punks? Fresh off the auction lot with the spotlight still attached and the paint faded, the Crown Vic is cheap to buy, cheap to run, and swallows up lots of band gear.

9. Geo Metro
Suggested By: Half The Wheels And Twice The Fun
Why It's Punk: It's tiny, but says "I don't care what you think about me. Go ahead, laugh. I'll kick your face in." The Geo costs even less than a decommissioned Crown Vic, and despite its tiny dimensions, can still hold a drum or amp in the back seat. And as Half the wheels points out, it's unassuming enough that it won't get trashed by an angry dickhead at the gig.

8. 1970-ish Chevrolet Wagon
Suggested By: pauljones
Why It's Punk: The mid-'70s Chevy wagon is big, old, American, and totally punk. The exact year isn't really important (pretty much anything from 1959 to 1979 will do), because we're not talking about a restored show car. The one the punks are after has faded paint, torn seats, and probably spent the last few years of it's life outside, sitting behind someone's house. The gnarlier the better.
7. Volkswagen Golf GTi
Suggested By: LuckyChuck
Why It's Punk: What's more punk than a car with plaid seats? It helps that the GTi is quick, and that many of them were black, but mostly, it's all about that bad-ass plaid.
Photo credit: Bring A Trailer
6. Hyundai Accent
Suggested By: Smells_Homeless
Why It's Punk: Older Accents are small, but they can hold enough stuff to make them worthwhile band cars. Smells_Homeless notes: "I never got tired of watching that little thing swallowing the drums and two half-stacks." Like the Geo, Accents are pretty stealthy, so one can probably survive a night outside the venue.

5. Buick Turbo Regal
Suggested By: twitchykun
Why It's Punk: Loud, fast, and out of control. When painted black, they absolutely look the part, and the engine is loud enough to sound it. This is an all-business machine, a squared-off, no-nonsense monster. The Regal looks angry just sitting still.

4. Ford Taurus Wagon
Suggested By: Filmomaker
Why It's Punk: As punk morphed and split into a whole bunch of other genres and sub-genres, the outcast and filthy still needed wheels to get to the gig (even if those wheels probably belonged to mom). Filmomaker describes the scene as he saw it back then: "Sometimes, after the gig, the car just goes missing, then it turns up in a very strange neighborhood or on the side of some railroad [tracks]. Sometimes some angry drummer or guitarist kicks the living fuck out of the car before or after the gig. Sometimes band members use the car to have sex with a groupie. Sometimes band members use the car to sell drugs and alcohol." So really, the Taurus was more like a Mobile Band Command Center than anything.

3. Camaro
Suggested By: mytdawg
Why It's Punk: How could we not include a Bitchin' Camaro?
Photo credit: Youtube
2. Ford Transit Van
Suggested By: Shep_Shepherd
Why It's Punk: If your band was from England, chances are that you spent quite a lot of time at one point or another in the back of a Transit. They were the default vehicle, much like the Econoline in America, for up-and-coming bands that had to get to the gig. Bands used them for decades before the punk movement, and they continue to use them today.

1. Decommissioned Ambulance
Suggested By: withayou
Why It's Punk: Commenter Withayou is a punk alum, and has this to say about his old band's ambulance: "To make it (vaguely) street legal, we had to remove the decals and paint over the emergency lights, but nothing at all was disconnected. That meant that at any given moment any of us could flip a switch to turn on the sirens, emergency flashers, loudspeaker, or floodlights and the thing came with an abundance of 120v outlets so the Marshall half-stacks could be plugged in at any rest stop. In retrospect, there is no reason the 17-year old version of me shouldn't be behind bars."

SYCAMORE – William "Billy" Curl is appealing a judge's decision refusing to give him more time to try to renege on his plea deal in Toni Keller's death.
DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert ruled Sept. 16 that she didn't have the authority to give Curl, 37, of DeKalb, more time to ask to withdraw his plea agreement.
On April 3, Curl entered a special plea agreement in which he maintained his innocence but acknowledged prosecutors could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he murdered Northern Illinois University student Antinette "Toni" Keller. He is serving a 37-year prison sentence in Menard Correctional Center.
Curl had 30 days to try to withdraw the plea agreement, but he did not file the paperwork until July 22, more than 3 months later.

- The coat ofarms (Standard Inline Black- No Border - Outlines.eps) needs to featureon the pre-roll.
- The final state ofthe swoosh.psd needs to be how you see it. I was thinking that the swoosh comesin and around a scaled down coat of arms before arriving at its final frame.
- The coat of armsbecomes more opaque (15-25%) at the same time scales up around 15%.

Moderator: Only_Humean
In summarizing the question: we will be a smaller community, with fewer resources, comprised of an even more diverse constituency than we know today, including a significantly large number of Jews by choice. Maybe the key element to this new stage of Jewish life in 2050 will be the geographical dispersion of Jews, including the presence of Jewish "colonies" living in Asia and across the Southern Hemisphere, and possibly even in space! Judaism will again be redefining itself with the emergence of new forms of religious and social expression, as it continues to adjust to the changing conditions of the marketplace. Jews will be caught between the push toward individualized, privatized forms of Jewish expression and the traditional volunteer framework of collective expression.
Our larger society will continue to be living with the challenges of global threats including terrorism, ethnic tensions, and environmental threats and possibly new forms of warfare. The major new tensions facing our society will be hostilities between the social classes over economic choices and the growing level of international conflict over declining natural resources. China and India among other new power centers will emerge as contenders for world influence as Europe continues to decline as a political and economic force. Africa will play an increasingly more important role in world affairs, as the Middle East fades into the background, unable to recover from the destructive nature of its internal Islamic wars and the corresponding loss of its economic oil position. Of particular note new space explorations will offer humankind the opportunity to conquer new worlds!
On a larger scale inventions, science and technology will not only change lifestyles but the quality and character of life, as we are likely to see individuals live much longer, as scientists uncover ways to contain or prevent certain diseases and the process of aging is reversed or altered.

In spite of so much economic development in China, no chinese individual or companies are yet able to establish a successful big business outside china. On the other hand, Jews have done that successfully all over the world. Chinese have succeeded to some extent outside China only in some Asian countries like Malaysia but have failed to repeat that success in the developed world, both individual and organizational level too.

This documentary is hilarious full of racist interactions, where the Chinese look upon the Congolese as apes the Congolese remark that the Chinese look like pigs. I'm just so happy that under globalization people from around the world are coming together and uniting. This documentary literally brought tears to my eyes and by tears I mean tears of laughter.
Between one and ten stars I rate this documentary an eight.

Until recently, the previous serious attempt to gaze beyond the borders of the civilization occurred early in the 15th century, prior to the dawn of Western imperialism and colonialism. The result being China closed it's doors to the outside world for 500 years.
Arminius wrote:Note: In the following I am going to use the word "Europeans" for all those people who are of European origin (except those who are globalists), regardless where they currently live.
China started its protectionism politics about 2200 years ago by building the big wall. Why should the Europeans not start doing it today too? The answer is that the globalists do not want the Europeans to do it, and that all European politicians are the henchmen of the globalists.
During the so-called "cold war" the peoples of the NATO-bloc were told that the NATO was a "military defense alliance" - a lie. At the very latest since the 1990's we have clearly experienced that the NATO is not a "military defense" but a military offense alliance. The Europeans have to reform the NATO, so that it can be a real military defense alliance. This is possible without huge economical disadvantages, if they start doing this as soon as possible. The later they will start doing this, the more expensive their doing and the more likely their breakup or even extinction will become.
The demographic development is one point, but the huge economic and military power - both based on and correlative with the technological advance the Europeans still have - is the other point. As long as the said advance will remain, the Europeans will be capable of doing whatever they want, provided that this doing will serve real European interests. So we have two questions in this case: (1) Will the Europeans start defending themselves early enough? (2) How long will the said advance remain?
But I fear that the Europeans will further on serve the globalists. In that case, we can only hope that the globalists will some day get their senses back, get some common sense. The last chance for the Europeans in the case of remaining homogenous will be one country somewhere on this planet (or on the planet Mars or the moon Europa? ), but even then they will have to calculate on much resistance against them. In the long run, the globalists themselves will have no future either. After that globalistic era many solutions will be possible, also SAM or a reign of machines (AI).

I wasn't entirely sure where to put the new text in 5.1; right now the whole subsection reads like this...: 5.1. Server-driven Negotiation If the selection of the best representation for a response is made by an algorithm located at the server, it is called server-driven negotiation. Selection is based on the available representations of the response (the dimensions over which it can vary; e.g., language, content-coding, etc.) and the contents of particular header fields in the request message or on other information pertaining to the request (such as the network address of the client). Server-driven negotiation is advantageous when the algorithm for selecting from among the available representations is difficult to describe to the user agent, or when the server desires to send its "best guess" to the client along with the first response (hoping to avoid the round-trip delay of a subsequent request if the "best guess" is good enough for the user). In order to improve the server's guess, the user agent MAY include request header fields (Accept, Accept-Language, Accept-Encoding, etc.) which describe its preferences for such a response. Server-driven negotiation has disadvantages: 1. It is impossible for the server to accurately determine what might be "best" for any given user, since that would require complete knowledge of both the capabilities of the user agent and the intended use for the response (e.g., does the user want to view it on screen or print it on paper?). 2. Having the user agent describe its capabilities in every request can be both very inefficient (given that only a small percentage of responses have multiple representations) and a potential violation of the user's privacy. 3. It complicates the implementation of an origin server and the algorithms for generating responses to a request. 4. It might limit a public cache's ability to use the same response for multiple user's requests. Server-driven negotiation allows the user agent to specify its preferences, but it cannot expect responses to always honour them. For example, the origin server might not implement server-driven negotiation, or it might decide that sending a response that doesn't conform to them is better than sending a 406 (Not Acceptable) response. Many of the mechanisms for expressing preferences use quality values to declare relative preference. See Section 6.4 of [Part1] for more information. HTTP/1.1 includes the following header fields for enabling server- driven negotiation through description of user agent capabilities and user preferences: Accept (Section 6.1), Accept-Charset (Section 6.2), Accept-Encoding (Section 6.3), Accept-Language (Section 6.4), and User-Agent (Section 9.9 of [Part2]). However, an origin server is not limited to these dimensions and MAY vary the response based on any aspect of the request, including aspects of the connection (e.g., IP address) or information within extension header fields not defined by this specification. Note: In practice, User-Agent based negotiation is fragile, because new clients might not be recognized. The Vary header field (Section 3.5 of [Part6]) can be used to express the parameters the server uses to select a representation that is subject to server-driven negotiation. ...feedback appreciated, JulianReceived on Monday, 18 July 2011 17:32:57 UTC
