Although Irish Catholics began to play a major role in local and state politics in the latter nineteenth century, the first Catholic to seek a national office was the popular governor of New York, Alfred E. Smith, who was the Democratic nominee for president in 1928. Anti-Catholic prejudice, the fear that a Catholic president would "take orders" from the Pope, insured Smith's defeat. John F. Kennedy quickly discovered that many Americans were still worried that a young Catholic candidate for president would be under the influence of the Catholic Church and that the nation would ultimately be run by the pope in Rome rather than the president in Washington. Some Americans vowed not to support John F. Kennedy for the presidency for this reason. Fear of a government unduly influenced by religious interests was real and seen as a distinct liability for this Catholic candidate. John F. Kennedy finally decided to try to defeat the issue by meeting it head-on, and on September 12, 1960, he spoke before the Greater Houston Ministerial Association in Houston, Texas.
On the late Friday afternoon of July 15, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts appeared before a crowd of eighty thousand people in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to deliver his formal acceptance of the Democratic party's nomination for President of the United States. Before what was at the time touted as the largest crowd ever to hear a political speech, John F. Kennedy spoke of "the New Frontier" --a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils-- a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.
On January 9, 1961, President-elect John F. Kennedy returned to his native Massachusetts to appear before the state legislature to make his final formal public address before assuming the office of President of the United States. Quoting John Winthrop, one of the early Pilgrims, Kennedy said, "We must always consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill – the eyes of all people are upon us." In the speech, which would later become known as "The City Upon a Hill" speech, Kennedy paid tribute to the early role Massachusetts played in creating a republic – he thanked the citizens of Massachusetts for a lifetime of friendship and trust -- and he laid out the four essential qualities that he hoped would characterize his government: courage, judgment, integrity and dedication.
On a frigid Winter's day, January 20, 1961, John Fitzgerald Kennedy took the oath of office from Chief Justice Earl Warren, to become the 35th President of the United States. At age 43, he was the youngest man, and the first Irish Catholic to be elected to the office of President. This is the speech he delivered announcing the dawn of a new era as young Americans born in the 20th century first assumed leadership of the Nation.
In an address to a Joint Session of Congress on May 25, 1961 to deliver a special message on "urgent national needs," President Kennedy asked for an additional $7 billion to $9 billion over the next five years for the space program, proclaiming that "this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth." President Kennedy settled upon this dramatic goal as a means of focusing and mobilizing our lagging space efforts. He did not justify the needed expenditure on the basis of science and exploration, but placed the program clearly in the camp of the competing ideologies of democracy vs. communism.
President Kennedy's address to the United Nations General Assembly in September 1961 was given at a critical moment in the life of that body, one week after the death of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld who had had been killed in a plane crash in the Congo. Some counseled the President to cancel his plans to address the opening of the General Assembly on September 25. But the President believed the UN had to have a future and he decided to speak forcefully on the real issues confronting the Assembly and the world: a stronger United Nations – disarmament and a nuclear test ban – cooperation on outer space and economic development – an end to colonialism – and recognition of the Communist threats to peace over Berlin and Southeast Asia. On September 25, 1961, President Kennedy stood before the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, endorsing a complete and general disarmament, and challenging the Soviet Union to a "peace race."
As 1961 drew to an end, the United States and the Soviet Union were at the height of the Cold War, and Cuba and Berlin were hot spots. In April 1961, the United States Central Intelligence Agency had organized 1,400 armed Cuban exiles in a failed attempt to invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. On August 20, 1961, East Germany erected a five foot high concrete wall dividing East and West Berlin and on October 28, 1961, a tense, 16-hour face off occurred at the Berlin Wall between Soviet and American tanks. On August 31, 1961, the Soviet Union began conducting aboveground nuclear tests, detonating perhaps 15 bombs during September 1961. Local newspapers advised Seattleites on how to construct and stock personal nuclear fallout shelters. It was in this context that President John F. Kennedy arrived at Boeing Airport in Seattle, Washington on November 16, 1961 to deliver a major foreign policy speech at the University of Washington Centennial Convocation. He was also in Seattle to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington who first elected to Congress in 1936.
At an Independence Day celebration at historic Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 4, 1962, President Kennedy delivered an address on the importance of the Declaration of Independence to contemporary Americans. "To read it today," he said, "is to hear a trumpet call. For that Declaration unleashed not merely a revolution against the British, but a revolution in human affairs. Its authors were highly conscious of its worldwide implications." The President then challenged Americans to "be ready for a Declaration of Interdependence…to discuss with a united Europe the ways and means of forming a concrete Atlantic partnership…to throw off the yoke of poverty…balance our world-wide trade…and deter any aggression in order to achieve a world of law and free choice." In proposing a "Declaration of Interdependence," President Kennedy reminded the nation that it could not remain aloof from Western Europe's trend toward unity. President Kennedy delivered the following speech before an audience that included 43 of the 54 state and territorial governors who were in Philadelphia for the 54th National Governors' Conference.
When John F. Kennedy became president in January 1961, Americans had the perception that the United States was losing the "space race" with the Soviets. President Kennedy understood the need and had the vision of not only matching the Soviets, but surpassing them. On May 25, 1961, he stood before Congress and proclaimed that "this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth." On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy delivered a speech describing his goals for the nation's space effort before a crowd of 35,000 people in the football stadium at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
On Monday, October 22, 1962, President Kennedy appeared on television to inform Americans of the recently discovered Soviet military buildup in Cuba including the ongoing installation of offensive nuclear missiles. He informed the people of the United States of the "quarantine" placed around Cuba by the U.S. Navy. The President stated that any nuclear missile launched from Cuba would be regarded as an attack on the United States by the Soviet Union and demanded that the Soviets remove all of their offensive weapons from Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world ever came to nuclear war. Recognizing the devastating possibility of a nuclear war, Khrushchev turned his ships back. The Soviets agreed to dismantle the weapon sites and, in exchange, the United States agreed not to invade Cuba.
In May of 1963, President Kennedy added his weight to the federal government's preparation for the impending clash with the state of Alabama over the integration of the University of Alabama. Less than a week after the bombing of a Black American's home and hotel in Birmingham, President Kennedy made a one-day trip to Tennessee and Alabama, saluting the ninetieth anniversary of Vanderbilt University and the thirtieth anniversary of the Tennessee Valley Authority, but in addition reminding his listeners of their roles and responsibilities as citizens. In a spirited and eloquent speech before an estimated crowd of 30,000 people in the stadium at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee on May 18, 1963, President Kennedy reminded his listeners that it falls to the educated man to assume the greater obligations of citizenship—for the pursuit of learning, to serve the public and to uphold the law.
President Kennedy began to feel in the spring of 1963 that there was a possibility for some kind of new movement in U.S. relations with the Soviet Union, and he began to look for an opportunity to make a "peace speech". In his commencement address at American University on June 10, 1963, President Kennedy called on the Soviet Union to work with the United States to achieve a nuclear test ban treaty and help reduce the considerable international tensions and the specter of nuclear war at that time. He announced a new round of high-level arms negotiations with the Russians and boldly called for an end to the Cold War. The Soviet government broadcast a translation of Kennedy's entire speech, and allowed it to be reprinted in the controlled Soviet press.
In 1963, Civil Rights protests became increasingly confrontational as Birmingham, Alabama's police commissioner, Eugene "Bull" Connor, crushed a nonviolent protest with extreme force. In June 1963, Alabama Gov. George Wallace refused to allow two black students to enter the University of Alabama forcing President Kennedy to use the National Guard to ensure the safety of the students. On June 11, President Kennedy made the decision to give a televised evening speech announcing his civil rights bill proposal. Although Kennedy delivered part of the talk extemporaneously, it was one of his best speeches--a heartfelt appeal in behalf of a moral cause that included several memorable lines calling upon the country to honor its finest traditions.
In 1961, East German authorities began construction of a 12 foot high wall which would eventually stretch for 100 miles around the perimeter of West Berlin, preventing anyone from crossing to the West and to freedom. Nearly 200 persons would be killed trying to pass over or dig under the wall. President Kennedy arrived in Berlin on June 26, 1963, following appearances in Bonn, Cologne and Frankfurt, where he had given speeches to huge, wildly cheering crowds. In Berlin, an immense crowd of 120,000 Berliners gathered in the Rudolph Wilde Platz near the Berlin Wall to listen to hear President Kennedy speak. They began gathering in the square long before he was due to arrive, and when President Kennedy finally appeared on the podium after having made a visit to Checkpoint Charlie at the Berlin Wall, they gave him an ovation of several minutes.
In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy, America's first Irish-Catholic president, journeyed to his ancestral homeland of Ireland, a homecoming he later described as "one of the most moving experiences" of his life. The President's eight great-grandparents all migrated to Boston, Massachusetts during the devastating Potato Famine of the late 1840's, seeking to take advantage of the economic opportunity offered in America. On June 28, the President was invited to address a joint session of the Seanad and the Dail in Leinster House. His Dáil speech was full of references to Irishmen who fought in the American War of Independence and he championed the important place for small nations in the pursuit of world peace. Kennedy's speech to the combined houses of parliament was the first ceremony in the Dail's legislative chamber ever seen on national television.
Following the peaceful resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev sought to reduce tensions between their two nations. Both leaders realized they had come dangerously close to nuclear war. In a series of private letters, Khrushchev and Kennedy reopened a dialogue on banning nuclear testing. Kennedy selected Averill Harriman, an experienced diplomat known and respected by Khrushchev, to resume negotiations in Moscow. On July 25, 1963, after only 12 days of negotiations, the two nations agreed to ban testing in the atmosphere, in space, and underwater. The following day, in a television address announcing the agreement, Kennedy claimed that a limited test ban "is safer by far for the United States than an unlimited nuclear arms race."
At the end of October 1963, President Kennedy flew to Amherst College in Massachusetts to take part in a ceremony in honor of the poet Robert Frost who had died in January of that year. In deciding what he might say, the President decided upon Frost's inaugural theme of poetry and power and the significance of Robert Frost and of poetry for the United States and for the world. In the thousand days of his administration, President and Mrs. Kennedy had sparked a revival of national interest in matters cultural and intellectual. In this speech delivered on October 26, 1963 before an estimated crowd of 10,000 people, President Kennedy made clear the need for a nation to represent itself not only through its strength but also through its art.

Scientific Optimism: Jomini and the U.S. Army
Those of you who follow my postings know that I've ruminated a bit on Jomini (pictured above). You can find the complete list of related posts here. For those who find discussion of Jomini and Clausewitz interesting, I wanted to pass along a link to an excellent essay by Major Gregory Ebner titled "Scientific Optimism: Jomini and the U.S. Army" available here. Ebner, in an essay that appears as a featured article in The U.S. Army Professional Writing Collection, makes a case for how the U. S. Army presents itself as a Clausewitzian organization at upper levels but is "firmly rooted in the ideals of Antoine-Henry Jomini" at the tactical and operational levels. He posits that focus on "good staff work and the military decision-making process (MDMP)" reflects a reliance on military science and method over the application of genius as espoused by Clausewitz. He further suggests that the Principles of War developed by the U.S. Amy was an encoding of Jomini in the form of doctrine. This essay is instructive to the study of military philosophers and military thought on several fronts. First, for the military philosophy student, it reinforces the theories of both Clausewitz and Jomini and would therefore make an excellent reading assignment after studying the primary works of both theorists. Second, it provides insight into the extent to which the largest army in present day has adopted and incorporated the ideas of both men at the doctrinal and operational levels.

November 30, 1917: Municipal Journalarticle. How the U.S. Public Health Service Endeavored to Secure Healthful Conditions and Surroundings at Camp Bowie, the Aviation Fields Nearby and the Adjacent Area. "When a million men were ordered into military training in the summer of 1917, it was thoroughly realized that intensive health work would be necessary to adequately protect them from disease. It was also realized that to sanitate only their actual camping sites would not be sufficient. Disease germs will not stop at the camp border; the soldier is bound to mingle with the civilian population. The same restaurant, the same barber-shop, and the same movie attract the soldier and the civilian.
To protect the one it is necessary to protect the other. Insanitary conditions a hundred yards, or a mile, from the camp border may produce an epidemic as quickly as similar conditions within the camp limits….
Though anti-typhoid inoculation has practically eliminated typhoid from the army, it is still rife among the civilian population. Moreover, typhoid is but one of the filth-borne diseases, against most of which there is not a preventative inoculation. The control of these diseases demands a safe method of excreta disposal, whereby infectious material will be prevented from access to food and water supplies and protected from the fly.
In Fort Worth, as a beginning, immediate steps were taken to enforce the ordinance relative to sewer connections, and since work began in May, 2,000 sewer connections have been made. To reach those homes not accessible to the sewers, an ordinance was passed requiring the installation of a sanitary privy, the type of privy being specified. This consists of a fly-proof, tight wooden box with a screened opening in front and a connecting flue pipe behind, which extends above the top of the old privy house for the purposes of ventilation. Tight metallic cans, 15 inches in diameter and 15 inches high, are placed in the box for the catchment of excreta. The boxes and can are uniformly made according to specifications and installed in the old houses. This work has been done under the direction of the city, the installation costing $8.50. The privies are scavenged weekly at a cost of $1.50 per quarter, the full cans being removed and clean cans placed in their stead. The cans to be scavenged are hauled to disposal stations, which are large concrete risers built over sewer mains, and there thoroughly washed and deodorized. Nearly 4,000 of these privies have been installed in Fort Worth, while the incorporated towns of Niles and Polytechnic, adjoining Fort Worth, have also installed the system."
Commentary: In 1918, influenza killed over 650,000 in the U.S. However, epidemics of typhoid fever and diarrheal diseases were avoided by sanitary conditions such as described in this article. The famous sanitary engineer, George Warren Fullerplayed a role in the prevention of waterborne disease during WWI. "During the World War, he was a member of a sanitary committee at Washington regulating the engineering planning and sanitation of the various Army camps in this country. As consulting engineer to the U.S. Public Health Service and the to the Construction Division of the Army, he was responsible for a considerable part of the practices which resulted in the unprecedented low typhoid fever death rate in the Army camps."

So, after 5.5 grueling years at uni and endless semesters staring enviously at people in their graduation gowns and mortarboards, smiling joyeously that 'they've made it', it was finally my turn. I was so jittery, nervous and to some extent even sad. The truth that another chapter of my life has ended and a new, scarier and more challenging one is yet to open, really hit me hard. How did I deal with all this emotional turmoil? ... Bake cupcakes of course - Graduation ones!!

1 cup (220g) brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1 cup self raising flour
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/3 cup (40g) almond meal
Preheat oven to 170oC. Line 12 hole muffin pan with paper cases
Stir chocolate and the water in small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
Beat butter, sugar & eggs in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in sifted flour and cocoa, meal & warm chocolate mixture. Note: If the mixture is really liquidy you can let it stand for 15 mins or so, the mixture should thicken, which should make it easier to spoon into the pans.
Drop 1/4 cup of mixure into the muffin cases. Bake for about 25 mins or until the tops spring back with a touch. Stand cakes for 5 mins before turning top-side up onto wire rack to cool.
To decorate:

What are corticosteroid creams?
Corticosteroid and steroid creams are prescribed by doctors to treat inflammation from skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. These corticosteroid and steroid creams contain powerful ingredients like Clobetasol Propionate, Fluocinolone Acetonide or Betamethasone Dipropionate. They also come with specific usage instructions because of the potentially serious side effects they can cause.
Skin lightening is a side effect of steroid creams
Many unscrupulous sellers have been selling and marketing steroid creams as skin bleaching creams. This is because one of known side effects of using steroid creams is the lightening of skin color.
The mechanics behind steroid cream-induced skin lightening is not yet known. However, one theory is that steroids may reduce the number of melanocytes or melanocyte activity in the skin.
Black market bleaching creams containing corticosteroids pose a hidden danger
Given that the sale of steroid creams for the purposes of skin bleaching is illegal, black market skin lightening products will not list steroids under their ingredients list anywhere on their packaging. Therefore, most dangerous black market bleaching creams go undetected. Thus, the detection and removal of these harmful steroid-containing skin lightening creams usually only occur after it is too late.
Examples of known skin lightening creams that contain corticosteroids

Corticosteroid creams can lead to irreversible and devastating skin damage…
Corticosteroid creams are almost unrivaled in their ability to quickly lighten skin color. However, its short-term results are just that — short-term. When these creams are discontinued, the skin will usually revert back to its original color eventually. Meanwhile, prolonged use of the creams can lead to devastating skin damage which is usually irreversible.
Prolonged use of skin lightening creams containing corticosteroids may lead to many skin problems
- Thin and fragile skin
- Stellate spontaneous pseudoscars
- Strange stretch marks
- Folliculitis, inflamed hair follicles
- Skin rash, irritation
- Itchiness
- Raised bumps on the skin
- Excess hair growth
- Fungal or bacterial skin infections
… and serious health side effects
Corticosteroids are absorbed through the skin and into the blood. Corticosteroids are also more rapidly absorbed when applied to the face, increasing their danger as this is where most people would apply them in order to lighten their complexion.
- Corticosteroids appear in breast milk. Corticosteroids in breast milk harms newborns by inhibiting their growth.
- Exogenous Cushing syndrome
How to heal your skin from deep damage due to harmful creams
If you're experiencing the negative effects from long-term use of steroid or other toxic creams (years of prolonged usage), there are ways to reverse the damage. Our organs (including our skin) are resilient, and if we give it what it needs, it can slowly heal itself.
To support skin healing from the bottom-up, the first thing to do is clean up your diet and lifestyle. Read up on the healing benefits of an alkaline diet as well as raw fruits/vegetable juices.
Another thing you can do is to apply healing, penetrative oils on your skin every day (such as castor oil, coconut oil or olive oil). Castor oil is one of the most healing oils there are. It can be especially useful in treating chemically-damaged skin as castor oil has the ability to draw out toxins. Other beneficial healing oils are extra virgin coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil.
UPDATE: I've expanded on this section and dedicated a separate article on it. Read it here.

A large number of Americans continue to adamantly oppose the nation's new health-care law and believe it will produce damaging results, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Forty-four percent of respondents call the health-care law a bad idea, while 31 percent believe it's a good idea -- virtually unchanged from July's NBC/WSJ survey.
By a 45 percent to 23 percent margin, Americans say it will have a negative impact on the country's health-care system rather than a positive one.

Attendees cheer at the Tea Party Patriots 'Exempt America from Obamacare' rally on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, September 10, 2013.
And 30 percent of respondents think it will have a negative impact on their families. Just 12 percent think it will be positive and a majority -- 53 percent -- don't believe it will have an impact one way or another.
Responses to an open-ended question in the poll about the law are especially revealing, showing little has changed in the public's perception as the Obama administration races to meet implementation deadlines next month.
"We're going to get worse health care, and it's going to increase the debt," said one Republican-leaning female from North Carolina. "There are death panels in there, and they're going to decide whether people get treatment or not."
Others remain confused about what's in it. "I don't know personally how it's going to affect me," said another GOP-leaning opponent of the law from Ohio.
In their own words: Opinions for and against the health-care law
Yet supporters tout its benefits and protections.
"It's going to give people – who didn't have [it] – insurance," said a Minnesota Democrat. "It's going to eliminate the pre-existing conditions… People who do have children will be able to stay on their parent's insurance until the age of 26."
Still, most Americans say they don't have a good grasp of what the law entails. Thirty-four percent say they don't understand the law very well, and another 35 percent say they understand it only "some."
"Call any insurance company and ask them any question about the new health-care law, and they don't understand," said a New Jersey Republican man who opposes the law.
That's compared with 30 percent who understand it either "very well" or "pretty well."
NBC's Domenico Montanaro looks at the upcoming – and familiar – congressional fights on government funding, the debt ceiling, and defunding Obamacare.
As it turns out, that 30 percent has more positive opinions about the health-care law (42 percent good idea, 45 percent bad idea), versus the 34 percent who don't understand it very well (17 percent good idea, 44 percent bad idea).
Yet a lack of information isn't the only hurdle that the Obama administration and its allies face in implementing the law. For one thing, a whopping 73 percent of respondents say they're already satisfied with their coverage.
That's why President Barack Obama, in his comments about the law's implementation, argues that it ultimately won't affect most Americans.
"For the 85 to 90 percent of Americans who already have health insurance, they're already experiencing most of the benefits of the Affordable Care Act even if they don't know it," he said at an April 2013 news conference. "So all the implementation issues that are coming up are implementation issues related to that small group of people, 10 to 15 percent of Americans … who don't have health insurance right now, or are on the individual market and are paying exorbitant amounts for coverage that isn't that great."
In addition, a majority of the poll's respondents – 52 percent – believe the law will result in their health-care costs increasing.
"Raises costs for everybody and limits choices," said a Republican-leaning male from Texas. "It was put together so crudely and nobody knew all the unintended consequences."
But supporters argue that – over time – the law will bring down health-care costs. "I think that the more people that are insured, the less expensive it will be for everyone," said a Democratic New York female.
Indeed, a recent Kaiser Family Foundation study of 17 states plus the District of Columbia found that rates in the health-care marketplaces – open to enrollment beginning on Oct. 1 – were lower than expected.
The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted Sept. 5-8 of 1,000 adults (including 300 cell phone-only respondents), and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points.

The singer sits wearing deep black shades on a moulded chair in a Toronto restaurant while polishing off a tray of sushi. Between apologies for talking through mouthfuls, the Nottingham native waxes lyrical about her decorated career as a cellist (notably for Stars of the Lid), and as singer-songwriter for Felix, the chamber-pop duo she's since sidelined to play solo, under her own name.
Softly spoken, Lucinda Chua revs up and squeals as her observational cogs whir into life. With sushi-chomping enthusiasm, she reflects on an illustrious photography career (shooting Charlie Brooker, for one), international art exhibitions - most recently in Vermont - and the culinary woes of whistlestop touring. Owing to a fatal dictaphone mishap, however, Lucinda's conversational nous is largely lost. After a year in limbo following the Stool Pigeon's demise, the article instead strings together echoes of our encounter's memory, and a recent update via Skype.
It's true that the fleeting tales Lucinda fosters have always blossomed in their concealing the whole truth. Her lyrics, she says, document "very small moments that end" and it's by ending so suddenly that they entrench in your subconscious, lounging around and outstretching limbs with no small entitlement. Take one perennial Felix character, the righteous boyfriend-basher, a welcome presence on the band's 2012 LP Oh Holy Molar: "Whenever you get drunk/You tell us all how you are the wittiest one/And the cleverest one/It's no fun," she jibes on 'Hate Song', a toyingly vitriolic cut.
The album is altogether gnarlier than its predecessor, You Are the One I Pick. That record was intimate, elegantly curious and dense as woods, developing in dark rooms the demoes that comprised Lucinda's Nottingham Trent free elective project in alternative sound techniques. (Lucinda has twice returned to her university on photography business - now as lecturer.) Despite scoring only one mark above the course's pass rate - too in thrall to her classical cello training, said the red ink - You Are the One I Pick's demoes attracted Stateside label Kranky, best known for its experimental and ambient roster. The imprint released both the final studio recording - a bitingly sinister set couched in Chris Summerlin's guitar doodles - and its poppier follow-up, Oh Holy Molar. This well-balanced compositional sensibility aligns to the lady we encountered last year in Toronto, chatty and sharp enjoying a Yann Tiersen support slot across North America.
Indeed, unlike the wry waspish figure imagined peering from the debut's curtains, Lucinda admits that she's become opportunistic and self-assured in musical matters. Her forthcoming solo debut, Music for One finds her revitalised after abandoning a covers record (some of which remains here). "It was a really good process, especially vocally," she says of the ditched LP. "I was deconstructing everything, inspecting elements and putting it all back together. So then I went back to Oh Holy Molar and covered some of my own songs. It was interesting, because you commit these songs to record but it's a shame to stop them from growing. And out of that process, of just over a year, I conceived a new style, a new way of arranging music, and came up with some new songs."
Which brings us to date. Coincidentally, a year before Lucinda's forthcoming Slint support slots - in aid of which this article exists - she breathily recalled meeting Dave Pajo in Philadelphia, where he'd been caught enjoying their show. She concluded of the episode: "It's really difficult not to do a little dance."
DiS: You're supporting Slint as Lucinda Chua. D'you hope to make another Felix album?
Lucinda Chua: Yeah, I'm sure we will make another Felix record. You have to understand that the only music I have ever written has been for Felix. As I was developing a musical voice, that was Felix. And so I got to a point where I just wanted to do something for myself. It's more allowing myself space to try something new, to test and develop myself, and to come back with more clarity.
You seemed touchy about the suggestion that your lyrics about, say, pretty boys who "are so Vice magazine" are aimed at specific people. Why is that?
Everything is wrapped up so tightly in riddles that it's really amusing when people try to de-code them. I don't think I set out to write a song that tackles this or that issue. It's all different moments, there's no one person - I'd hate people to think I have this massive chip on my shoulder. It surprises me that a lot of the reviews have focussed on the lyrics rather than the music.
Because you come from a classical background?
Well, it is music, isn't it? It's not poetry.
Quite. Ever get attached to your characters?
I don't really become attached to characters because it's always changing. It's about a feeling. [Quoting a lyric from 'Sunday Night'] "You said you lost your shoes in a fight/There was no fight/But it'd make a good story, right?" It's just that sentiment that you see in people. Also, I am quite flippant in the songs. Something that carries some weight, I might brush off; or I might make a gesture into a whole song.
Your music involves narrative and observational aspects, but presumably you're often busy with photography and music. Are you constantly keeping eyes peeled for material?
If you're open and receptive, you'll pick up a lot. Everyone soaks it in, it's just about distilling which parts interest you. The information you take in is boring, but it's about how you mull it over, or the connections you make. I guess I'm very analytical. I can hear something, I'll play it over and over in my mind and make up backstories, and it's how you then present it that potentially makes it interesting.
We're very isolated in public nowadays. Whenever I forget my headphones, it's great fun eavesdropping on public transport conversations.
On the point of putting earphones in, I think that's really interesting: culturally, we've shifted from listening to music in the room, to listening in our own sphere. And that was partly the thought process behind putting this new record together - that's the idea behind "Music for One". It's music for you, in your bubble, with your headphones. For me that's a really interesting development to the way we engage with music. A lot of my music listening happens on public transport, and it's about providing me with a soundtrack that takes me from A to B, and how that soundtrack bleeds in with all the ambient noise from everything around me to create a new soundtrack. That specific listening experience is something I'm hoping to explore with this solo record.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Dvora Weisberg, Director, School of Rabbinic Studies; Associate Professor of Rabbinical Literature in Los Angeles, about her latest book, Levirate Marriage and the Family in Ancient Judaism (Brandeis University Press, 2009)
SFS: Dvora, congratulations on the publication of your book and on its being honored by Jewish Book Council as a finalist for the Women's Studies Barbara Dobkin Award.
Tell me, what is Levirate Marriage? And why should we care about it?
DEW: Levirate marriage is union between a widow of a childless man and, in Jewish tradition, his brother. In other cultures, it could be another man in the deceased's family. The purpose of the union is to produce children for the deceased. While in Judaism, this union is a marriage, in other cultures it might not be.
The reason that I care about it is that it helps us understand how cultures respond to a catastrophic death in the family. It is almost always practiced in cultures that are patrilineal or patriarchal; in such cultures the death of the man causes a breakdown of the family structure. The death of a woman, while upsetting, would not cause a change to the family structure.
SFS: Who do these laws protect/benefit?
DEW: Depending on how they're practiced, (they're practiced differently in different cultures) it can benefit the widow who is immediately absorbed back into her husband's family; the deceased because he can now have children through a surrogate; or the larger family because it allows the family to reconfigure and stabilize after the death. It will depend on how the laws play out both in other cultures and within Judaism over time and in different places. It's interesting for the scholar to see how the family structure and particularly the role of women has changed.
SFS: We tend to think of pre-modern Jewish families as large extended clans, but you found that much of Rabbinic literature focuses on the nuclear family and on the needs of the individual.
DEW: Part of my argument in this book is that the Biblical family is usually seen as an extended family and the laws focus on that extended family. But the Rabbinic tradition focuses much more on the nuclear family.
SFS: How much choice do individuals have in the decision to go through with the levirate marriage?
DEW: The Biblical law focuses on the deceased's "right" to have a child. The widow and her brother-in-law are expected to cooperate. But in rabbinic literature, the rights of the living people involved are given precedence. They may make the decision to go through with the levirate marriage or not.
SFS: You mention that many scholars look at the surrounding cultures when studying rabbinics – what does that perspective bring to your work?
DEW: Particularly when you're looking at the rabbinic period, you can see major differences between the Palestinian laws which are influenced by the Greco-Roman society as opposed to the Babylonian which are influenced by Zoroastrian culture where a form of levirate marriage was practiced, as well as polygamy. This shows that Judaism has been influenced by its surrounding environment. Many scholars of Judaism are surprised to learn that forms of levirate marriage were practiced by other cultures.
SFS: Is there any lesson for families today?
DEW: I think that the really important thing that this study shows is that family structure is not static and that it changes over time and in response to different circumstance. And even within a culture there can be multiple shades and nuances in the definition of family. When I talk about the rabbis addressing the "nuclear" family (mother, father, children), that doesn't mean that other forms of family don't exist. Different family members are included in mourning customs, incest laws, and inheritance laws. We have a tendency to think that "family" means one thing but, "family" can mean multiple things within a society and families are always changing.
SFS: Thank you!

During the five-month trial, the prosecution stressed the defendants' provocative rhetoric and subversive intentions, while the defense attributed the violence to official overreaction. The case drew national attention for the artists and activists that testified as witnesses, as well as defendant Bobby Seale's actions, which earned him four years in prison for contempt of court. In February 1970, five of the seven were found guilty, but an appeals court overturned the convictions in 1972.

A two-string system, where each radiator on the same floor has the same total distribution pipe length is called a Tichelmann system.
A two-string system, where each radiator on the same floor has the same total distribution pipe length (supply + return – measured from the pump through the radiator and back to the pump) is called a Tichelmann system. It is also commonly referred to as a reverse return system.
Radiators with a short length of supply pipe measured from the pump have a correspondingly longer return pipe. The opposite applies to a radiator located furthest away. This ensures uniform resistance and hence more or less equal water flow-rate in the heating surfaces. Consequently, the water flow for each heating source does not need to be individually adjusted during commissioning. However, this generally leads to longer and more complicated pipe runs and therefore higher system costs.
The system can be used both in heating and air-conditioning systems.
The reverse return system is named after Albert Tichelmann, an engineer within the field of hot water heating.

Tutorial: Quick & Easy Coffee Cozy (or Sleeve) from a Repurposed Sweater
When my daughter was born an old friend sent one of the most amazing gifts: 2 old sweaters repurposed into a dress and pants. The pants were one of those magical pieces of clothing that managed to fit for two solid years of fast-paced growth and it pained me when they were passed along. The dress, however, didn't find a new home in time for the change of seasons and has been tempting me for months. Finally I realized how to repurpose our already repurposed sweater...
My sister in law is a coffee addict. Scratch that. Caffeine addict. Diet soda guzzling, sixty-five word long fancy coffee drink ordering caffeine addict. Naturally, I've been wanting to make her a coffee cozy for some time. Old sweater turned dress turned coffee cozy? Indeed.
As you know I'm pretty no-talent in terms of the sewing arena, but this was another quick and easy project that needed little more than a needle and thread to complete.
Things you'll need:
Old Sweater - wool is best, I think but it's up to you. Remember, thinner fabrics with more cotton or elastic will have the edges roll. I liked a cable knit because I could cut along the pattern and have it be pretty unnoticeable.
Needle and thread - I used embroidery floss, per the usual.
Coffee cup or sleeve - I used a reusable cup since that was what we had, but a cardboard one would be easier to use for a pattern. I'll explain more below.
Felt balls or flowers for detail (optional)
Repurposed Coffee Cup Cozy/Sleeve
Begin by selecting your sweater and section you would like to use.
Cut a strip the width of your preference, or the width of your template. In my case I used a reusable mug we already had but you could, perhaps more easily, use a cardboard sleeve from a coffee shop.
To use a cardboard sleeve as a template go ahead and peel it open and use as a template, just like you did when making envelopes!
Cut down length-wise to the right size (either by wrapping around your mug to measure, or using your template).
Determine where the ends meet (again, on your mug or with the template). Pin together to secure (and indicate your seam placement).
Flipped inside out go ahead and stitch the two ends together. Just like with felt bows and flowers you can stitch nearly all the way through the sweater to make the seam invisible from the front, or use small stitches and a like-colored thread. Trim thread ends and fabric, if necessary.
Flip outside-right again. In my case I left some extra fabric to fold under and create a detail flap. You can omit the detail and sew the two ends together or, flip the bit of extra under and sew to the seam.
At this point I decided to play around with some felt details.
If you decide to add a detail go ahead and find something you like and secure it!
There you go - a repurposed coffee cozy - perfect for giving...or taking with you!
Bonus, with the same pattern/idea you can make cozy cuffs as well:
Happy repurposing!

Very cute!
And if something like this ever ends up in my shop, just remember that I also thought of this long ago and have just been to lazy to figure out how to make the cut seams not fray.
Do you have pics of the original outfit?

A touch of fabric glue on the edges works great!

Oh Anna Wintour. She keeps throwing her acid at Victoria Beckham's face. It's amazing.
This is Posh arriving in London today in a pair of pants from her own line, with black patches on the inside thigh to further accentuate the thinness. The airport is her personal runway. They say the Spice Girls are working on a stage musical. Presumably Victoria is in town for a planning session. Or maybe she was just hungry for a photo opp. Also very possible.
Anything to soothe that poor ego.
Because she still hasn't appeared in the fashion bible but…
Ashlee Simpson gets a Vogue shoot?
There's been no confirmation from the magazine but paps claim that that's where Ashlee Simpson was headed yesterday. NO WAY it'll be for a cover, hell na. And who knows, Anna could axe it at the last minute – you've seen The September Issue, right? – but for now, at the very least, Ashlee's getting some Vogue love while Posh is still getting the piss off.

Crash Protection for Machine Tool Spindles
Jakob Antriebtechnik is showing its new spindle collision protection system at Booth W-1779. Personnel from GAM, Jakob's North America marketing partner, are at the booth to demonstrate the system and answer questions.
Spindle collisions happen, despite various strategies to prevent them or limit the damage they cause. A company exhibiting at IMTS for the first time has an interesting solution to this problem. Jakob Antriebtechnik (Kleinwallstadt, Germany) is showing its new spindle collision protection system at Booth W-1779. Personnel from GAM, Jakob's North America marketing partner, are at the booth to demonstrate the system and answer questions.
Spindle crashes can be costly. An expensive cutting tool and holder may be ruined or a workpiece scrapped. Spindle bearings may need to be replaced, along with other repairs. The unexpected downtime for these repairs causes lost productivity and disrupted job scheduling. Jakob's system, which is installed by the machine tool builder at the factory to its standard spindle offering, is designed to reduce transfer forces by decoupling and disconnecting the power transmission at the interface between the machine tool headstock and the spindle motor during a collision. This protection is effective whether the impact is radial (the spindle strikes something from the side) or axial (the spindle hits something head on). When impact is from the side, the protection system enables the spindle to "tilt away" from the blow. When the impact is head on, the spindle can be "pushed in." When either type of "disengagement behavior" begins as a result of a crash, built-in displacement sensors instantly trigger a controlled but rapid deceleration of the feed axis, thereby bringing it to a stop before an overload occurs. This instant reaction protects shock-sensitive spindle components from the potentially damaging forces of the impact.
Developers at Jakob based the design of the system on a double-flange configuration that creates integrated damping elements to absorb the surplus energy of a collision. An arrangement of permanent magnets and preloaded springs mounted between the flanges provide "give" (displacement) that enables the spindle to tilt away or be pushed in when sudden impact forces exceed a preset limit. The spindle motor is screwed to an outer ring of the protection system at the spindle's flange. An inner ring, in turn, is located within the outer ring, which is screwed to the headstock of the machine tool. According to developers, the precise geometry of the rings ensures accurate positioning of the inner and outer rings and thus the location of the spindle motor. The relative movement between the inner and outer ring is recorded at three points on the circumference in the axial direction.
The magnets and springs can be adjusted to establish the force and torque load limits that activate the protection system when exceeded. Different limits can be set for radial and axial loads. Mounting forces as high as 18 kN in the axial direction and tilting moments as high as 2,300 Nm (in case of a radial load) can be reached. After responding to a collision, the spindle returns to its initial position within a tolerance less than 5 µm, developers say. The system's cover and seals keep out dust particles, chips and liquids.Developers at Jakob say that this spindle protection system should be used in conjunction with other strategies for preventing spindle collisions or mitigating their effects. These strategies can include CAD/CAM simulation, electronic sensors and, most importantly, the operator's adherence to safety practices.

Sentry Dual Action Flea and Tick Collar is fast acting and has long-lasting protection. It kills fleas and ticks for up to 6 months. For use on dogs who are 12 weeks or older. Fits necks up to 23"
Directions for Use:
Do not open until ready to use. Dust will form on collar during storage. Do not get dust in mouth or eyes. Take the collar out of the packaging and stretch to full length. The tabs that held the collar in place will fall off when stretching; pull on any remaining tabs to remove them. Bend the buckle in half between the holes in the buckle, so that you can easily pass the end of the collar through both holes. Place the collar around your dog's neck. Feed the collar through both holes, notches facing out. Fit to the neck of the dog. The collar must be worn loosely to allow for growth of the dog and to permit the collar to move about the neck. Generally, a properly fitted collar is one that, when fastened, will snugly slide over dog's head, and two fingers can be placed between the collar and dog's neck. Leave 1 or 2 extra inches for collar adjustment, cut off remaining excess collar and dispose of in the trash. Do not use on dogs under 12 weeks of age. Wash hands after installing collar on dog. Replace collar every 6 months, or sooner if needed. Consult a veterinarian before using this product on debilitated, aged, pregnant, medicated, or nursing animals.

Typically, the dishes include some fried seafood, some marinated seafood, some braised or baked stuffed seafood, and a pasta course. With such a diversity of dishes, it can be a challenge to pair wines with this feast, but the solution is simple: stick with a Southern Italian white. In my opinion, Fiano di Avellino is the best white of Southern Italy, so why look elsewhere? With enough acidity to balance out the marinated and fried dishes, Fiano also brings a lovely balance of minerality and fruit to the table, weaving its way through all the complex flavors of a classic Feast of Seven Fishes!
You might notice that the wines I am recommending are not the current releases for each producer. I prefer Fiano with a year or three of age as I find that the wines really open up and become more complex over this modest period of time.

Top Fiano di Avellino from GDP
2008 Guido Marsella Fiano di Avellino $22
This smells of mineral rich earth and bonfires, quartz with some lightly dried fruit and floral notes. In the mouth, this is focused and well-defined. It's not a fruity wine, instead offering layers of quartz, mineral smoke and candlewax over base notes of dried citrus peels. The beauty here is in the purity and length that this wine brings to the table. The finish is so vibrant and long. It is absolutely twangy with mineral notes that are brisk and refreshing. An exciting wine. 92pts
2009 Romano Clelia Fiano di Avellino Colli di Lapio $25
Floral and peachy on the noise, this gains complexity with air to reveal a light almond milk note and lovely hints of a mineral base. In the mouth, one finds a vibrant, medium-bodied white wine that delivers layers of peach, melon and tart apple flavors wrapped in mineral and almond notes. A really lovely and complex example of Fiano that finishes with a salty, mineral twang. This is delicious and shows off the freshness of youth coupled with subtle, evolving complexity. 92pts
2009 Pietracupa Fiano di Avellino $36
Quite earthy on the nose, this shows off woodsy aromas with rather high-toned citrus accent notes. On the palate, this is fairly rich with a classic nutty, earthy and smoked almond set of flavors that is well balanced with citrus fruits. It's a taut wine and one that may surprise people looking for more roundness and fruit, but this is the essence of the earth. A healthy spritz of lemon juice brightens the fairly long finish. Needs food. 91pts
2009 Terredora di Paolo Fiano di Avellino $18
Very fruit-driven on the nose with chalky lemon notes over grapefruit rind and peach fruit. On entry, this is bright and juicy with lovely fruit that recalls the chalky citrus of the nose in a medium-bodied package with juicy acidity and good length. There's a nice purity and brightness to the fruit here but this is a touch simple. Still lip-smackingly good. 89pts

Edwin Maysonet was 1-for-3 with his fifth home run of the season, three RBI's, and a run scored. Brent Lillibridge has found his power at triple A, I didn't think he could ever hit a home run, but he was 2-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season, an RBI, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Chris Rusin was absolutely brilliant and has really found a groove as of late, he earned his fourth win and lowered his ERA to 3.55 on the season. Rusin worked eight strong innings giving up one run on six hits while striking out eight, and no walks, outstanding. Eduardo Sanchez worked the final inning giving up one run on three hits while striking out one.
At The Plate – Really good game between two solid teams, and it ended with the Smokies hanging on for a 3-2 victory. Arismendy Alcantara was 1-for-4 with his eighth home run of the season, an RBI, and a run scored. Christian Villanueva padded his slugging numbers in this one, he was 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, and a run scored. Anthony Giansanti was 1-for-4 with a run scored, and two huge outfield assists in the win.
On The Mound – Kyle Hendricks was solid yet again, and is turning into the ace of the Smokies staff. Hendricks went 6.2 innings giving up two runs on six hits while walking two and striking out six, he improved his record to 5-2 with the win, and lowered his ERA to 2.47 on the season. Kevin Rhoderick continued to struggle with his command, but was able to pitch around it, working one scoreless inning while walking two. Frank Batista was solid again in picking up his seventh save of the year; he worked 1.1 scoreless innings giving up one hit.
At The Plate –Outstanding comeback win for Daytona as they scored once in the bottom of the ninth to tie it, then walked off in the eleventh. John Andreoli continues to have a solid 2013, he was 2-for-6 with a run scored, he's now hitting .312 on the season. Javier Baez was the hero last night, he went 2-for-6 with a game winning, walk-off homer in the eleventh, his seventh of the season, two RBI's, and a run scored. Ben Carhart had a solid game going 1-for-3 with a walk, and two runs scored in the win.
On The Mound – Austin Kirk struggled a bit with his command but was still able to work around most of the trouble, he went five innings giving up three runs on seven hits while walking four and striking out three. Austin Reed was okay out of the pen working two innings giving up one run on two hits while walking one. Eduardo Figueroa, Larry Suarez, and Frank Del Valle were solid the rest of the way, shutting down the Yankees over the final four innings. Del Valle worked the final two innings to get the win, his third of the season.
At The Plate – Tough luck for the Cougars as their rally was cut short by Mother Nature, they scored three times in the fifth to make it 7-5 then the skies opened up and the game was called after five and a half innings. Pin-Chieh Chen was 1-for-3 with his second triple of the season, and two RBI's in the loss. Gioskar Amaya had a solid game going 1-for-1 with two walks (Cubs Way!), a double, and a run scored. Dan Vogelbach had a productive day going 1-for-3 with his seventh home run of the season, three RBI's, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Dillon Maples has been having a rough go of it since returning from injury, last night the walks got him into big trouble. Maples worked three innings giving up seven runs on four hits while walking five (see?), and striking out five. Lendy Castillo took over and was solid, going two scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking one and striking out two.

Not content with adding cameras to the iPad 2, Apple may be shoe-horning a camera into the next-generation iPod nano.
A photo of what is apparently a part of the new iPod nano has surfaced, which suggests that a camera will make an appearance on the new MP3 player, while keeping the device and screen sizes the same as the current one.
The photo shows a camera hole in the corner of the part, which means we'll probably see a rear-mounted camera as opposed to the downward-facing video camera on the sixth-gen iPod nano.
It does seem like a slight back-track from Apple, given that the video camera was scrapped from the current batch of nanos.
But we're not entirely surprised to see more cameras popping up on portable Apple devices thanks to the growing love for applications like FaceTime.
We should see the next batch of iPods revealed in September, so if you're desperate for a tiny camera-toting MP3 player to make you feel like a giant, there's just a few months to go.
