I think I have recovered sufficiently to post now. We had a heck of a "tasting session" the other night and I haven't been able to bring myself to having a beer until tonight. Tip of the day: if you call it a "tasting session" instead of just saying you are going to drink beer, it is much more socially acceptable. 🙂
So, keeping on the seasonal kick, I noticed a very, very festive six pack of beer at Fred Meyer the other day and had to buy it. I think we were too late into it last year to enjoy this fine seasonal brew, and have to say I am kind of sad. Deschutes Jubelale comes to us full of warmth and mirth. A fine little diddy that makes me want to recite the full version of Twas the Night Before Christmas after each bottle. A dark ruby color, a good head, high malts *and* high hops and this is one that will keep you drinking long into the cold winter night.

A quick and easy pasta dish, this Blistered Tomato and Mascarpone Pasta comes together with a creamy tomato mascarpone sauce.
Sometimes dishes show up on our dinner table for the sole purpose of using up stuff in my fridge. In this case, I had a part carton of mascarpone in desperate need of a destination. Mascarpone is not cheap and I wasn't going to be wasting it. I also had some arugula. And a few tomatoes. So dinner was decided and it was delicious!
This is a quick and easy pasta dish that comes together in about the time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta. The tomatoes are quickly "blistered" by broiling in the oven. This only takes a few minutes. Angelhair pasta boils up in about 5 minutes, so it's quick, too. It all comes together in a hot skillet with the mascarpone and arugula for a quick toss to coat the pasta.
Don't worry if you don't happen to have some left-over mascarpone to use up. I've included a quick and easy substitute, that used cream cheese, cream and sour cream. You'll find it at the bottom of the recipe. As for the tomatoes, I happened to have roma tomatoes, but any tomato will do, including a carton of cherry tomatoes (would be pretty with red and yellow cherry tomatoes!)
Cook's Notes for Blistered Tomato and Mascarpone Pasta
The secret to this dish is salt and pepper. You need to season this dish well to really round out the flavours!
Blistered Tomato, Arugula and Mascarpone Pasta
- 3 servings angel hair or thin spaghetti pasta
- 4 roma tomatoes (or 3 regular tomatoes, or a carton of cherry tomatoes, if you like).
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 Tbsp vodka optional
- 1/2 cup mascarpone* see substitution below
- 2 handfuls baby arugula
- Shaved Parmesan
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat your oven broiler with a rack in the upper part of the oven. Cut tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds and discard. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet, skin side up, and place under the broiler. Allow tomatoes to cook until skin is blistered and starting to char.
- Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water for pasta.
- Once tomatoes are charred, allow to cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until tender and fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and vodka, if using. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, while you put the pasta on to cook. (If using angelhair pasta, it will take only a few minutes to cook!).
- Once pasta is cooked, increase heat on skillet to medium. Add mascarpone, arugula and a good sprinkling of salt and freshly ground pepper. Remove pasta straight from boiling water to skillet with tongs. Toss to combine, adding a splash of pasta water if needed, to loosen. Remove from heat and stir in some shavings of Parmesan. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with additional shaved Parmesan.
- *Substitute for the mascarpone in this recipe: 4 oz. (1/2 cucream cheese blended with 2 Tbsp. heavy cream and 1 Tbsp. sour cream.

This 3D-Printed, Soft Artificial Heart Beats Just Like a Real One• http://www.sciencealert.com, DAVID NIELD
Scientists have 3D-printed a soft, artificial heart made of silicone that beats almost like a human heart, putting us another step closer to replacing damaged human hearts without the need for a transplant.
With about 26 million people worldwide suffering from heart failure, and a global shortage of donors, being able to custom-make artificial hearts would be an invaluable solution to a perennial, long-term problem.
The team behind the artificial heart, from ETH Zurich in Switzerland, says its prototype heart can beat in a very natural way for about half an hour before the materials break down, and the researchers are working hard to improve their new invention.
"[Our] goal is to develop an artificial heart that is roughly the same size as the patient's own one and which imitates the human heart as closely as possible in form and function," says one of the team, Nicholas Cohrs.

Our Story
What we now understand as eco-living is a modern world development. The countless examples of damaging our environment for short-term gains have provided us with a wake up call. More and more, people are looking to make sustainable lifestyle choices in harmony with the natural world.
The rise in sustainable living has only strengthened in response to the pressure of the Technology Age. People are looking for a natural oasis, free from the hypnotic media haze, where eco-living is not compromised by luxury design.
About Me
My own passion for interior design arose out of my upbringing in Poland, where my family ran a company, providing building materials for construction and furniture companies. For 20 years I was exposed to all varieties of building materials from cement, wall materials and insulation systems to roofing, cobblestones, and ceramic tiles. Under that roof my passion for modern design was ignited.
At the ripe age of 20, my desire for a new experience led me to Switzerland. For the past 13 years I have experienced first hand Switzerland's high quality standards. Everything from cheese and chocolate to watches are made with attention to the finest of details. The Swiss are notorious for creating eco-friendly cities, and prioritizing the environment over anything else out of their deep respect for nature. My own passion for specialty, eco-friendly designs arose out of that experience.
Through my work in the luxury industry, I've become more attuned to luxury aesthetics. Yet, as a typical time deprived modern woman, I found there wasn't an easy solution to finding both luxury and sustainable designs. It takes time to understand the technicalities of creating a truly eco-friendly space. I craved an online platform that made it easy for me to find a broad spectrum of artisans with a passion for sustainable living. More so, I was looking for inspiration to put my own personal flair on luxury décor. With that, ON Nature was born.

Undefeated is a fascinating account of how a group of talented, creative, and brave young Indians changed the game of football forever.
Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team by Steve Sheinkin. Roaring Brook Press, 2017. 288 pages.
Reading Level: Young Adult, ages 12-15
Recommended For: Ages 10 and up, especially football fans and American history fans
Jim Thorpe, son of a half Sac and Fox-half Irish father and a Potawatomi mother, was a stubborn kid who loved nothing better than to run and be active. Jim hated school and being cooped up inside; he managed to find his way home from every school he attended. Pop Warner, a white man, was an equally determined man who loved to be active as much as Jim. And they both loved football. In a time when most white Americans were bemoaning the "Indian problem," Jim Thorpe and his teammates at the Carlisle Indian School, coached by Pop Warner, were making history. As an underdog football team, they trounced the Big 4, invented new plays, and conducted themselves on and off the field with remarkable maturity. Their football playing forever changed the way football was played in America as they strove to be undefeated.
Sheinkin loves to tell a good story about the behind-the-scenes happenings in American history. In America football is prominent, but do fans realize how much the game was changed by a scrawny team made up of Indians from various tribes? Not only were they thrown together regardless of tribal identity, they'd been relocated to a boarding school and forced to give up their cultures and languages in order to assimilate into white American culture. Sheinkin does an admirable job in Undefeated of portraying the issues surrounding the "Indian issue." And, clearly, there wasn't an easy answer. It's true that school administrations like that of the Carlisle Indian School did not have the same cultural sensitivities we do today (an understatement!). It's also true that most Indians were living at subsistence levels, and education (particularly learning to read and write in English) would go a long way to improving their future ability to interact with white culture, should they need or want to. With the way the American government mercilessly moved them to reservations, interacting with white culture was unavoidable. Despite the political history portrayed, though, this book moves quickly and is an engaging read. Sheinkin restrains his quoting of bad language in this volume, too, using characters and asterisks as a substitute. Plentiful archival photos add much to the storytelling. And when you or your teen finishes reading the book, talk about the admirable ways the Indian team exhibited self control on the field, the ways they responded to persecution, and the ways they demonstrated perseverance!

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana health officials reported the first flu-related death of the season for the state Friday.
The Indiana State Department of Health says the victim was 65 years or older, but did not indicate which county the death occurred in.
According to the CDC, it takes about two weeks to develop the antibodies that protect you against the flu. The agency recommends that you get a flu shot by the end of October, but you should still consider getting one if you haven't.
"We don't typically see flu-related deaths this early in the season, but flu viruses circulate year-round and can have heartbreaking consequences at any time," said Indiana State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. "With influenza activity beginning to increase, I encourage anyone who hasn't gotten a flu shot to get one to help protect themselves and their loved ones."
The 2017-2018 flu season was one of the deadliest in decades, killing more than 80,000 people. Flu season typically runs from October to May.
"Flu vaccines are lifesaving. They are. I see it every year. Most of my severe flu cases last year were in unvaccinated individuals and it's really sad when somebody has something life threatening that could've been prevented," said Dr. Chris Belcher, St. Vincent Infectious Disease Specialist.
High-risk individuals include pregnant women, young children (especially those too young to get vaccinated), people with chronic illnesses, people who are immunocompromised and the elderly. The health department says it is especially important for these individuals to be vaccinated each year.
People can help prevent the spread of flu by washing their hands frequently and thoroughly, avoiding touching their eyes, nose and mouth with their hands and staying home when sick. Officials say Hoosiers should practice the "Three Cs" to help prevent the spread of flu and other infectious diseases:
- Clean: Properly wash your hands frequently with warm, soapy water.
- Cover: Cover your cough and sneeze into your arm or a disposable tissue.
- Contain: Stay home from school or work when you are sick to keep your germs from spreading.
Dr. Belcher says people should also know the difference between the flu and a common cold.
"Influenza is high fever, headaches, dry cough, sore muscles and it can lead to problems like pneumonia and other various life threatening conditions," Belcher said.

Listen to / preorder the record and read along with the lyrics below. In the coming days, I plan on writing more about this song, in particular, but until then, I hope you love it.
Growing up, the river and the mountain were a fountain of life for us. We knew how to play in the water and how to rest in the shade and navigated the currents and recognized the way that the face of the mountain smiled just like our fathers, and the song of the river sounded just like our mothers', and the sunsets in the valley glowed just like our worldview, and the lightening had not yet torn that world in two.
When I saw one of the sparrows fall I knew that when she hit the soil the earth would break like our heart-quake until it could not be called that at all.
Of course the world is grey.
Of course the mountain is no longer a mountain and the rivers have turned to snakes.
I will never forget the way that her father writhed in the dirt the day that he wept over the grave he made for his daughter after begging you to let her stay.
So where is the lullaby that our doctrine sang? Where is the house on the rock when even the rock couldn't withstand the rain? What does it mean, you who uses spit to clean the eyes of blind men suddenly guilty for all that they have claimed to see?
It's not that I don't believe. It's just that sometimes faith feels more like cataracts than clarity. Please,
Go gentle on me.
In obscurity and silence and absurdity and violence the quiet reminded me that the surest sign I don't understand is to be sure that I do. I knew more before I knew more. He said, "Just outside the room, I watched her die for forty-five minutes while they tried to revive my child and when she finally pulled through I thought of death and resurrection and how much I hated you."
I love you for it. You've been gone so long I've been raging at the night in all its emptiness, all its nothingness, all its silent, darkened sky. I've been searching for the sadist who keeps taking his sweet time to let us see, or let us leave, or let us move on with our lives. Now that you've finally shown yourself again, I've got my fists raised high for the bliss it is to finally have a christ to crucify (and then to kiss). You let me lose my mind and I loved you for letting me hate you, and I barely recognize the lines the rivers make on the mountain face or the color of your eyes.
I thought that they were black and white. I thought I knew the creeks. I thought that they were black and white. Keep forgiving.
Keep forgiving.
Let god be wild. (Let me be free.)

Doctors have found the Zika virus in areas of the body protected from the immune system, such as seminal fluid, fetal brain tissue, and the placenta.
"Right now, we know it's in the blood for a very limited period of time, measured in a week to at most 10 days," explained Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "We know now, as we accumulate experience, it can be seen in the seminal fluid. We're not exactly sure after the infection clears, where else it would be."
He added, "These are all things that need to be carefully examined in natural history and case-control studies."
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently announced that doctors confirmed the presence of Zika virus in the tissue of infants who died from microcephaly, a rare birth defect.
"This is the strongest evidence to date that Zika is the cause of microcephaly," explained CDC Director Tom Frieden. "Zika is new, and new diseases can be scary, particularly when they can affect the most vulnerable among us."
Frieden stopped short of asserting that Zika causes microcephaly, a disorder in which the brain does not form properly during pregnancy or after birth and results in a small head. He said scientists need to perform more tests to confirm an actual link.
The CDC stated the disorder is typically uncommon. Following the Zika outbreak, however, Brazil has documented over 4,000 cases and is diagnosing an average of 200 cases a week. In 2015, the country tracked over 2,400 cases, compared to the 147 in 2014.
Doctors found 404 cases of microcephaly in newborns since November. They tied seventeen "to the Zika virus." Fifteen of the 404 passed away, "with five linked to Zika." Authorities are investigating 56 other deaths and 3,670 cases.
Reuters reported researchers in Slovenia described "a severely brain damaged fetus from a mother who was infected in Brazil" in a paper for the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal. The doctors found "high levels of Zika in the brain and some evidence that the virus had been replicating." They concluded Zika survived "because it is an immunologically privileged site."
Brazil, El Salvador, and Colombia have advised women against getting pregnant.
"It's a very personal decision, but at this moment of uncertainty, if families can put off their pregnancy plans, that's what we're recommending," stated Angela Rocha, the pediatric infectologist at Oswaldo Cruz Hospital in Brazil.
The Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) confirmed a person received the virus after "sexual contact with an individual with Zika."
"Now that we know Zika virus can be transmitted through sex, this increases our awareness campaign in educating the public about protecting themselves and others," explained Zachary Thompson, DCHHS director. "Next to abstinence, condoms are the best prevention method against any sexually-transmitted infections."
Harvey Stern, medical director at Fairfax Cryobank, told USA Today that scientists do not "know how long the Zika virus can survive in semen, or whether the virus is present in the semen of men without symptoms."
Last Friday, British researchers reported doctors found the Zika virus in a 68-year-old man 62 days after he contracted the virus.
U.S. officials recommended that any man coming from a Zika country use "condoms even with nonpregnant sex partners because the virus may persist in semen even after it clears the bloodstream."
"They don't say for how long," said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. "That's because they don't know. As it was with Ebola, we're learning as we go."
Brazilian scientists detected live Zika virus in human saliva and urine, which may indicate that a person in contact with these bodily fluids can contract the virus.
"I think we need to be careful that don't we [sic] jump to any conclusions about transmissibility," said Fauci. "When you find a virus or fingerprints of a virus in a body secretion, it absolutely does not mean that it is transmitted that way."
Saliva can hold HIV, but it cannot spread the disease.
Others said the "low levels" can make it "impossible or unlikely" to transfer to another person. Substances in the saliva could also prevent transmission.
"I think it's important to step back and emphasize that Zika is a mosquito-borne virus and the overwhelming majority of cases are spread by mosquitoes," stated Frieden.
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carry the disease. While primarily found in Africa, all but two nations in the Western Hemisphere have recorded populations of the mosquito species living there. (Chile and Canada are the exceptions.) They also carry dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Doctors found Zika in one infant during an autopsy, and numerous mothers reported symptoms.

Two million Soccer World Cup tickets already sold
London, Jan. 28 (ANI): The Fidiration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has dispelled fears of poor attendances at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after announcing that two million tickets of the match have already been sold.
The sales reflect a surge of interest from South African residents, easing concerns about apathy in the host nation.
Of the 1.2 million applications received in the third ticketing phase, 79 percent were from South Africans.
"All games of the South African team will be sold out," Sky News quoted Danny Jordaan, the head of the Local Organising Committee, as saying.
Of the other 191 nations to apply for tickets, the United States is in the lead with 50,217 applications, followed by England with 41,529.
However, there have been relatively low numbers of applications from other leading football nations, including Germany with just 14,647.
The tickets have been assigned according to a lottery system in the first three phases.
From February 9, the fourth phase will be "first come, first served".
In the last phase, the last available tickets will be available over the counter in each of the host cities in South Africa.
The increase in demand for tickets for Africa's first World Cup will be a relief for FIFA, which has faced criticism for choosing to host the tournament in a nation with one of the highest crime rates in the world.
However FIFA has defended its choice.
"It's crazy and completely wrong. Give South Africa a chance," Jerome Valke, the body's General Secretary said. (ANI)

Watching the Commercials
Formerly an executive VP at Initiative, Stacey Lynn Koerner was recently named president of Interpublic Media's yet-to-be-titled "consumer-experience practice." She spoke to B&C's Anne Becker about the changing media landscape and its effect on TV advertising.
What's the worth of advertising on TV today?
TV may be experiencing an erosion in its primacy of delivering content, but that doesn't mean it's not important for advertisers to be in the mix. People like to receive fictional content through the TV screen.
It's one of the only ways we can be connected with the same content at the same time across the nation. It's got immediacy. It's a very important aspect of our culture because we have all the technology to connect us, but we don't have to work with human beings to get most things done each day. It creates this sense of people not being connected, and TV gives us something to rally around.
How much are emerging platforms eroding TV viewing?
We're just starting to see some of that. The best example is the Olympics. The nightly audience levels were lower than expected. However, the Internet traffic was much higher than expected. It's not that the event has lost its luster—it's that people want to experience content in ways that are most relevant or convenient. You are seeing technologies allowing for greater personalization of the experience, but that doesn't mean they don't have the opportunity to choose content through the standalone TV experience.
What do you think about TV's historically light presence at Four A's?
This show is about the future and how clients and media agencies need to work together to better communicate with consumers. TV is the largest piece of the media puzzle—I look at it as the center of where consumers experience content. To have [TV] absent is to remove them from the dialogue, and that's not fair to the conversations we're all trying to move forward.

A vulnerability in LinkedIn's Autofill feature allowed malicious actors to harvest personal information of LinkedIn users by inserting autofill iframes over websites that were whitelisted by LinkedIn, a security researcher has revealed.
According to researcher Jack Cable who described the exploit in a detailed blog post, once a malicious actor lures a victim to visit a malicious website which is controlled by the former, the visitor is then greeted by a "LinkedIn AutoFill button iframe" which is styled so it takes up the entire page and is invisible to the user.
If the visitor clicks anywhere on the page, then according to Cable, "LinkedIn interprets this as the AutoFill button being pressed, and sends the information via postMessage to the malicious site".
He added that this flaw exposed personal information of LinkedIn users to websites that were not blacklisted by the platform. "This had entrusted the privacy of LinkedIn users in the security of third-party websites. A compromise in any of the whitelisted websites would have exposed the information of LinkedIn users to malicious hackers," he said.
Personal information of visitors that owners of malicious websites could harvest by exploiting this flaw included full names, email addresses, location, job title, company, and zip codes. After Cable alerted LinkedIn about the said vulnerability, LinkedIn issued a patch for the vulnerability and also issued a public statement.
"We immediately prevented unauthorised use of this feature, once we were made aware of the issue. We are now pushing another fix that will address potential additional abuse cases and it will be in place shortly.
"While we've seen no signs of abuse, we're constantly working to ensure our members' data stays protected. We appreciate the researcher responsibly reporting this and our security team will continue to stay in touch with them.
"For clarity, LinkedIn AutoFill is not broadly available and only works on whitelisted domains for approved advertisers. It allows visitors to a website to choose to pre-populate a form with information from their LinkedIn profile," it said.
Joseph Carson, chief security scientist at Thycotic, told SC Magazine UK that the discovery of LinkedIn's Autofill vulnerability should not hold people back from using the feature as it continues to be a useful feature that makes our lives easier and prevents time-wasting.
"This is one which everyone should be taking a risk-based approach. In my opinion it is ok to use the autofill features however you should never be storing anything containing private or sensitive information.
"For example, it is ok to put data which is already likely publicly available on the internet which is your name, email address and company name however, I would recommend not to put your credit card details or mobile number," he said.
When asked what steps platforms like LinkedIn should take to ensure personal information of their users is not harvested by cyber-criminals by misusing autofill features, he said that such platforms should ensure that information included in autofill should only be less sensitive, publicly available, and should be encrypted. Autofill should also come with a warning message so that users are clear on what privacy is being maintained and to reviewing the autofill data, he added.

Release Day: Adorning the Dark
For more than twenty years now, my brother, Andrew Peterson, has been baring his soul in his music, and in doing so he's shined a ... Read More
By Pete Peterson •
I grew up with Full Moon Fever. Songs like "Freefallin'", "I Won't Back Down", "Runnin' Down a Dream", and "Yer So Bad" could easily be the sound track to my coming of age in rural Florida. I came from a town too small to have a theater, an arcade, or population of girls that hadn't already told me to get lost, so I did most of my running around twenty-four miles away in the "big city" of Gainesville, home of the Gators, the University, a good number of unfortunate Volvos, and another awkward country boy named Tom Petty. I didn't like the Gators, but I took a strange pride in being from the same backwoods that gave rise to a rock and roll icon and his Heartbreakers.
My memories of MTV's heyday (you know the next line), back when it still played music, are indelibly marked with the image of Tom Petty dressed as the mad hatter, sipping his tea and singing, "Don't Come Around Here No More." Even before that, mixed in with memories of "Photograph", and "Electric Avenue", and "Dancing with Myself", is the scene of a bunch of cool looking guys climbing out of some kind of future car in the desert and stumbling onto a tent full of TVs to sing "You Got Lucky". I was amazed that those guys, looking so tough with their boots and their leather, cigarettes dangling, huge pilot-style sunglasses flashing in desert heat were somehow led by the goofy one with the overbite and the weird voice. The one from Gainesville, just down the road from me. Maybe anything is possible.
For those of us that grew up on his songs and, better yet, for those that don't realize just how far-reaching and influential his body of work is, Peter Bogdanovich's documentary, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down a Dream is a treasure on film. Put together with a wealth of footage from the earliest days of Mudcrutch and The Epics, the entire history of the band is miraculously documented. I was giddy to see footage of the bar where the band played its first paying gigs, a place called Dubbs that I used to use my fake ID to get into in order to see the likes of Warrant or Quiet Riot.
Throughout the four hour running time, the film is never less than fascinating. It chronicles such things as Petty's bankruptcy and landmark legal battles with the music industry and his friendships with legends like Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Johnny Cash, George Harrison, Ringo Star, and Roy Orbison, there's even an attempted assassination. It's hard not to root for Tom, the underdog, while you watch him growing as an artist and see the record company trying to take his songs away from him. When he's victorious, we share in his victory and we get to see how that affects his growth and his writing and his relationships. Petty's story is sprawling and iconic and the film reflects that.
Bogdanovich captures insight into Petty's creative process as a writer, a recording artist, and a performer that any student of music or the arts should appreciate. It's good stuff. Particularly interesting is how the viewer is able, over the course of the film, to see and hear the thirty-year metamorphosis of his work as it changes from the perspective of a teenager to that of a grown man, filled with experience, heartache and the scars and lessons of life.
Fueled by a fantastic American narrative, tons of rarely seen live performances, interviews with sources ranging from Johnny Depp to Jackson Browne, and, most of all, by Tom Petty's own unique impact on rock and roll, Runnin' On A Dream is documentary film-making at its peak. It reminds us that great things can come from small places, even from the town down the road, even from the kid with the overbite. It reminds us that, indeed, anything is possible.
Pete Peterson is the author of the Revolutionary War adventure The Fiddler's Gun and its sequel Fiddler's Green. Among the many strange things he's been in life are the following: U.S Marine air traffic controller, television editor, art teacher and boatwright at the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch, and progenitor of the mysterious Budge-Nuzzard. He lives in Nashville with his wife, Jennifer, where he's the Executive Director of the Rabbit Room and Managing Editor of Rabbit Room Press.
"Hard Promises" was my favorite Tom Petty album in college and is still one of my favorites of all time. His writing has always resonated with me too. I look forward to catching this "rock-umentary" at some point thanks for the review. I'm sure Tom is a favorite of many in the Room.
Happy New Year!
Tom Petty and the Jesus Storybook Bible. Where else? No where else.
Where else could I feel so at home but in a place where Tom Petty is discussed along with a virtual Advent wreath along with the rest of what issues from the eclectic maw of the Rabbit Room.
Thanks, Pete. Keep "workin' on a mystery."
Watched the documentary yesterday and it was everything I'd hoped it would be and more.
I've always loved his work. His music is real American rock and it reaches my soul, or just plain makes me laugh (Hey Spike).
I was particurlarly impressed to see his dedication to his craft and his ability to self-discipline when needed. Thank God he nixed Nix!
He was born to write and sing and I hope he will do so til my dying day and beyond.
Goofy looking..Hardly!
One of my favorite parts of this film was the story about the band's first lead singer. Tom was just an electric guitar player (or was it bass?) in the original band, till one day he called a secret meeting with the rest of the band and told them that he wanted to be the lead singer. They agreed and fired the poor guy. But instead of being mad or hurt he said, "Well, do you guys mind if I stay on as the lighting guy or something at least?" They said yes, and now 30 years or so later, he's still the lighting guy.
I may have some of the facts skewed, but that's the gist of it. It was heartwarming to see the humility of the now-lighting guy, who was fine to step down as front man as long as he could still hang with his friends and be a part of what was happening.
Of course, like Pete, it was also fun for me to see that Tom and his buddies grew up pretty much exactly like we did, and just a few miles down the road. When I was a kid, my dad drove to Gainesville a few times a week to visit members of our church who were in the hospital. While he did his pastorly duties he would drop me off either at the local comic shop, the surf/skateboard shop, or at this place called Lipham's Music where I'd find a baby grand in the corner and play through every Journey song I knew until the manager asked me to leave. (And sometimes he did.)
Little did I realize at the time that Tom used to haunt the same store. Had I known, I would have imagined the music store manager singing "Don't Come Around Here No More" while I slunk away.
By the way, on Jason Gray's new CD Acoustic Storytime, he does a fine cover of "I Won't Back Down". Which, come to think of it, would've been a good song to sing back at the mean manager.
Here's to a true rocker…
Thanks for the great post, Pete.
I saw the beginning this documentary last Thursday as I relaxed on my bro.-in-law's couch and found myself glued to the television from the title scene till 2hrs. later when my wife jarred me from this journey with Tom and his cohorts and said, "come on guys let's play a game." 30 minutes later my bro.-in-law (who had now joined me on this journey) and I forced ourselves to turn off the TV and engage real life again. We couldn't subdue this desire to act out our rock-n-roll fantasies, so we convinced the girls that it would be a good idea to play ROCKBAND.
I became a Tom Petty fan in 1998 when I sat down with his Greatest Hits album and tried to do some homework. I got it right away–the top hat and crazy eyes were just side shows; the music was pure American rock-n-roll.
After admitting a Petty obsession kindled by Bogdanovich's documentary on my own blog, I tripped over your good words while wondering whether other bloggers had been similarly struck. Thank-you for the sharp views.
I had the good fortune to see this film last year, but didn't have the leisure to DVR it and obsess about it until it made the recent round on Sundance.
Thanks also for the A.J. Jacobs recommendation. This is why I love the Internets.

The joys of travel jobs.
Working in the photo industry I get the chance to see and explore places I might not have otherwise. However, I'm usually there for work and don't always get the freedom to venture out. But, when I am afforded days off I try to make the most of them and adventure off to see whats out there.
I've been to Colorado a number of times. Heck I even lived here at one point. It is the state with the most 14ers so I decided since I was going to have a free weekend I would try to tackle 4 in one day. I managed to wrangle another member of the production team to head out on this adventure with me. Before coming out I heard about the "Decalibron Loop" in the Mosquito Range which is a very efficient hike to bag four 14ers in a single day which the loop gets its name from (DEmocrats, CAmeron, LIncoln, and BROss).
We started the day with the scenic drive from Denver to Kite Lake passing all the changing leaves of fall along the way. Kite Lake is a high alpine lake at approximately 12,000' . We had a blue bird day and the air had that crisp cool fall feel to it, which I miss living in Souther California. We trekked up Mount Bross first to 14,172'. Upon summoning we were welcomed with strong gusts of wind that are common in the area and continued through most of the hike. From there we saddle hopped to Mount Lincoln (14,295′) then Cameron (14,238') enjoying the wide spanning views of the Mosquito Range. Following the first three summits we hiked down to the old collapsed mine shacks before heading back up to bag our forth 14er of the day. The final push up had me realizing that the air was pretty thin but the wind finally relinquished its wrath and died down. Upon summiting Mount Democrats (14,155') we stopped to soak in the views and have our lunch before heading down. All in all it was a great day but for me any day I'm able to get outdoors and breath in the fresh mountain air is a good day in my books.

Add a button on your page, somewhere near the bottom of your page. My back-to-top button is visible when you scroll down more than 800 pixels and it stays in the viewport due to a stay-in-view-script I wrote. Anyway, add a button:
And style this button. My button is styled like this:
floaT: left;
margin-left: 138px;
displaY: block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #CCCCCC;
position: relative;
display: none;
text-decoration: none;
.toTopLink:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
left: 50%;
margin-left: -15px;
margin-top: -15px;
top: 50%;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 15px solid transparent;
border-right: 15px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 30px solid #DDDDDD;
.toTopLink:after {
position: absolute;
content: 'Back to top';
top: 100%;
color: #BBB;
font-style: italic;
width: 200px;
left: -20px;
top: 60px;
font-size: 18px;
.toTopLink span {
display: none;
But all the magic happens in a simple and clean jQuery function:
$('html, body').animate({
}, $(window).scrollTop() / 3);
return false;
The magic happens in the formula that sets the animation speed.
If you'd set the animation speed to a fixed number the animation would take (for example) 500 milliseconds to scroll 800 pixels, but it would also take 500 millisecond to scroll al the way up from a long page with over 10.000 pixels. The second options would scroll superfast.
But with this formula, it takes the current scroll position and devides it with three to ensure a smooth and steady scroll speed, no mather where you are on the page. Awesome!
Play with the subdevision to get faster or slower scrolling speeds. Lower number means higher scrollspeed and a higher number means lower scrolling speeds.
There's one extra part to this script and that's the show-when-scrolled-further-than-x-pixels script. Add a scroll-listener to the page:
This function calls the "checkScrollPos" function every time the page is scrolled, and immediately at page load (you might want to add this script to a document.ready function). The checkScrollPos function itself is quite simple:
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 600) {
} else {
The function also has a fallback, because of the #top anchor in the link. This link isn't executed because of the "return false" in the onclick function, but if that one fails it will still execute the original #top anchor. Just make sure you got an anchorpoint in the top of your page to get it to work.
What goes where?
As stated in the comment section it isn't really clear for novice webdevelopers to know what code goes where. Well, that's also quite easy. Hang on!
Open up your page source code and search for the head section. This is always the first chunck of code after the opening tag. If not, move it there. Look in the head section for some tags that start with script... These are the includes of the remote JS files. If you find these lines, look for a line that includes a file (src="...") that looks like "jquery.js". Or something like "jquery.1.9.1.min.js" or whatever. As long as it has "jquery" in the filename it will most likely be jQuery that's being included. If not, download jquery, put it somewhere on your server or computer, copy one of the script tags and change the link to the location you just uploaded jquery to.
Now we have made sure that jquery is available on the page. Now add a new script tag to the head, as close to the close head-tag as possible. Make it look like this:
// code goes here.
Now add all scripts from the tutorial above:
$(window).bind('scroll', function(){
$('html, body').animate({
}, $(window).scrollTop() / 3);
return false;
function checkScrollPos() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 600) {
} else {

I picked up Clarissa Dickson Wright's memoir, Spilling the Beans for 50p at a Christmas Fair, as I was intrigued to read about her connection with the Books for Cooks bookshop in London. The whole of her life story is fascinating read, even the tale of her descent into alcoholism. I had picked up snippets of her story from watching the Two Fat Ladies cooking programmes and bits of reading, but the story straight from the horse's mouth is obviously more revealing and more interesting.
Another book about food which I gathered on a library swoop just before Christmas was The Foodie Handbook: The (Almost) Definitive Guide to Gastronomy by Pim Techamuanvivit. The author writes a food blog, Chez Pim, which is quite interesting, although somewhat American in recipe detail. The book does include recipes as well as all sorts of advice on how to eat, drink, cook and be a 'foodie'. Some of the recipes reveal the author's Thai background, but as ingrediants for Thai cooking are now more easily available everywhere, there is no problem sourcing them. The tone of the writing is chatty and friendly and the photographs are lovely, although not every recipe is illustrated. Although Pim is US based, her foodie recomendations have a world wide spread and appeal.
It's not the first foodie handbook I've read: in the mid 1980's Ann Barr and Paul Levy produced the Official Foodie Handbook, which although I haven't read it since then I seem to recall as being somewhat more dictatorial as to what to eat and drink to be considered a foodie.

Despite being of a high standard, occasionally drinking water will vary in taste, odour or appearance.
While changes in water quality may raise customer concerns, the water is still suitable for human consumption and readily meet drinking water standards or guidelines.
Most of the water quality concerns reported by customers can be grouped into categories:
Taste and odour [2]
Colour [3]
Residue [4]
Central Highlands Water welcomes water quality enquiries from customers – whatever the problem – we'll investigate and respond to every concern.

Be Fearless
Today, I gain strength and confidence in remembering my time as a co-host on a human rights radio show in Jamaica - the most exciting, yet nerve-racking job I've had thus far.
My weeks were spent researching topics of interest to the disadvantaged Jamaican to empower him/her to recognize and realize his/her rights owed to them by the state, as it concerned civil, economic and cultural rights. I gathered information from clients and made cold calls to local experts to appear on our show; I wrote memos and created talking points with the facts, all culminating in an hour-long show that I produced and engineered.
The first time I co-hosted a show was out of necessity - the supervisor of this project was running late and time waits for no one! It was 10AM and the show had to go on. I remember pacing frantically and having a mini-panic attack as I thought of everything that could go wrong. I know my strengths, and I know I am far more effective behind the scenes - I don't really like attention and I get pretty bad stage fright. A million questions went through my mind as the inevitable loomed closer - where were the talking points? Do I know enough (or frankly, anything) about this topic to have a conversation with this renowned Jamaican attorney? Will the listeners even tune in when they hear a random, foreign host? This shit is LIVE, what if I fuck it up? I was very anxious. I remember saying a prayer that God unbind my tongue and open my mind. I forced myself to smile to decrease my stress levels. I had my notes and questions, a glass of water and view of my sound engineer and 3, 2, 1...we were on the air.
I was able to converse with the attorney for the full hour, even after my supervisor arrived on site. Instead of taking over, he asked me complete the hour (he had been listening in his cab ride over) and we co-hosted the program for the rest of my summer in Jamaica.
I was extremely proud of myself. I will not say I have conquered my fear of public speaking, but each time I think "I can't", I modify those self-deprecating thoughts and instead remember that "I can and I did ".
And you can too.

Representative Eric Massa is resigning on Monday.
This announcement comes after the Congressional Ethics Committee informed Representative Eric Massa that he was under investigation for sexual harassment. You must know by now that this story is not worthy of a mention here at Cheap Phone Sex unless there is something unusual about the sexual harassment. Any guesses?
Today Representative Eric Massa released in his statement, "…I did in fact, use language in the privacy of my own home and in my inner office…" Man, I get paid to "use language" in MY home and MY office. It's called phone sex.
Eric Massa is a veteran. He served in the Navy for 24 years. We all know sailors are pretty hardcore. So, what the hell did he say to the 'male staffer'. Oh, did I forget to mention the allegation involves man on man harassment? How do you sexually harass a man?
Get your ass over here?
That's not harassment.
Get down and give me 10?
Depending on what is 10, not harassment.
Screw you?
If you don't mean it, not harassment.
I guess I am at a loss because if I let's say told a man to strip and give me 10 licks or I will take this strap-on and screw you up the ass, would you consider that harassment or a bonus? It is a good thing that none of you work for me because half the things I say are just plain naughty.
Seriously, I know men can be harassed in the workplace by both male and female co-workers, superiors, etc. One should always feel safe in the workplace. What surprises me is based on what has been released or rather leaked, the harassment seems to be all verbal. If that's the case maybe Representative Massa has a future in phone sex.
Call 1-888-669-6389 for quality phone sex where the only cheap thing is the price. It's ONLY $12 for 15-minutes of uncensored adult chat. Regular callers can always opt for the Cheap Phone Sex Package.

Of Lucknow and its famed "tehzeeb" - Notes from a reporter's diary
As UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath completes 100 days in office, Poulomi Banerjee travels to the state capital, Lucknow, to see how the city has taken to the new head. Here she recounts her experience of discovering a city that she had heard much about, but never been to beforeindia Updated: Jun 30, 2017 19:20 IST
"Coffee begum ke samne wale table pe rakhiye". (Put the coffee on the table in front of the lady). I was charmed by my hostess's instruction to her domestic help. Not only because this was the first time in my life that I had been referred to as "Begum", but also by the polite respect with which she addressed her help. I had seen the same well-bred civility in one of her friends the day before. When I had handed my mobile phone to my driver so that she may explain the location of her house to him, she had first greeted him with a Namaste, before conversing with him. When I mentioned this to my hostess, her only reply was, "This is Lucknow".
I had been excited about my first trip to Lucknow. Not only because of all the culinary delights which my colleagues had been telling me I must sample - first and foremost of which was, of course, kebabs from Tunday Kababi – but also to see how the capital of Uttar Pradesh had taken to its new chief minister, Yogi Adityanath. And I was eager to experience firsthand the famed "tehzeeb" of Lucknow.
I spent three wonderful days in Lucknow – fleeting between the old city and the more recently developed areas such as Gomti Nagar. Nothing is far in Lucknow, definitely not farther than a 15-20 minute drive – only those who have to brave the traffic chaos of Mumbai and Delhi on a daily basis can truly appreciate the advantage of this. Imagine not having to calculate whether to start for an 11am meeting at 9am or earlier! And while apartments have started making an appearance, the city still boasts of some beautiful sprawling kothis, complete with lovingly-tended gardens – a sight fast disappearing in bigger metros.
"Even 10-15 years back when you stepped into a Delhi-Lucknow Shatabdi you could immediately make out the difference. The language changed. People were more polite," said one Lucknow old-timer. Another remembered the old Urdu language and the beauty that conversations once had. "When I was in college paan shops would have a little board on which would be written 'Paan kehta hai ki main sookh ke mar jaunga, aye labhe yaar agar tune na chooma mujhko' (The betel leaf is saying that it will shrivel up and die if it doesn't get to kiss of those lips). Or kulfi sellers would call a potential customer with, 'Kulfi le lo, aapke yaad mein ghuli ja rahi hai'. (Get a kulfi. It's melting in your memory). You don't see such use of language and poetry in daily life now".
And what of Lucknow's famed "Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb" – that culture born of the blending of the traditions of different communities and that allows these communities to not only live together in peaceful co-existence, but to also be a part of each other's lives? Does it survive, or like other relics of a bygone era, is it something that inspires nostalgia but has no place in the current discourse. That, after all was the story that I was trying to find in Lucknow – how a city that prided itself on its secular society had taken to a chief minister who is a serving mahant and is viewed by many as a poster boy of Hindutva? Are people wary of his ways? Has religious discourse entered politics? And have interpersonal relationships between those of different communities been impacted? What I learnt of the spirit of Lucknow, and its people, is the subject matter of another story – one that I will narrate this weekend. But there's more to the city than can be explored in a single visit. And both the journalist in me and the traveller will await the next trip to Lucknow.

A blog full of bits of historical information, comments & observations, photographs (old and new), oddball ramblings and other totally random stuff.
Saturday, June 11, 2016
12 comments:
My Mom said those wool bathing suits itched like crazy. I believe wool was used because it shed water to some degree, and tended to hold its shape when wet. Still, I can't imagine trying to actually swim in what the women had to wear. All they could really do in those things is play around in the water.ReplyDelete
There's so much to look at in this photo, Deb. It's always fun to me to pull apart a photo and look at all the details. I remember that my mother (born in 1915) had a wool swimsuit that she probably wore in her 20s. I can't imagine why they would have chosen wool but maybe it was because it absorbed water without getting too heavy. And I suppose it may have been a little more modest than cotton. No polyester, spandex, lycra in those days!ReplyDelete
Your two great uncles look quite modern really, in their singlets and shorts, but it seems strange to have the women sitting cross-legged.ReplyDelete
You've got a special treasure for sure. It's refreshing to see families at play instead of the usual static formal studio photographs. And if I know boys, the two in the front are not happy to have their picture taken.ReplyDelete
I can't even imagine swimming in wool! Ugh!ReplyDelete
I always imagine what these suits were like when wet. The weight alone must have been uncomfortable. And then the smell of them drying...echhhhh.ReplyDelete
