The Mirage (P.S.)by Matt Ruff
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
11/9/2001: Christian fundamentalists hijack four jetliners. They fly two into the Tigris & Euphrates World Trade Towers in Baghdad, and a third into the Arab Defense Ministry in Riyadh. The fourth plane, believed to be bound for Mecca, is brought down by its passengers. The United Arab States declares a War on Terror. Arabian and Persian troops invade the Eastern Seaboard and establish a Green Zone in Washington, D.C....
Summer, 2009: Arab Homeland Security agent Mustafa al Baghdadi interrogates a captured suicide bomber. The prisoner claims that the world they are living in is a mirage — in the real world, America is a superpower, and the Arab states are just a collection of "backward third-world countries." Other captured terrorists have been telling the same story.
The gangster Saddam Hussein is conducting his own investigation. And the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee — a war hero named Osama bin Laden — will stop at nothing to hide the truth. As Mustafa and his colleagues venture deeper into the unsettling world of terrorism, politics, and espionage, they are confronted with questions without any rational answers, and the terrifying possibility that their world is not what it seems.
"A unique and compelling read." The Associated Press
"Like Philip Roth's The Plot Against America, the premise behind Ruff's alternate-history novel is chilling." The New York Post
"An unnerving but intriguing premise forms the backbone of Matt Ruff's latest novel, The Mirage, one of the most daring 9/11-inspired novels to emerge after that horrific day." The Seattle Times
"Ruff embraces his twisty concept with an attention to detail that suggests many months, more likely years, of fervent research....He is a world-class world builder who, perhaps better than any other writer, can create exotic, mysterious worlds and communicate their unique rules and consistent logics." The Stranger
"A funhouse-mirror mash-up where H.G. Wells and Graham Greene collide with The Arabian Nights and The Matrix....Ruff dizzies and dazzles the reader with a fantastic-and fantastical-story." BookPage
"Sci-fi/fantasy/post-cyberpunk cult author Matt Ruff imagines an alternate world in which Arabia becomes the earth's dominant superpower and America is a dictator-led, fundamentalist backwater. More than half the fun here comes from discovering all of the intricately clever consequences Ruff derives from that simple premise." Details
"The alt-historical framework is in many ways the best and most entertaining part of the book, and you want it to expand beyond the mere 400 pages of The Mirage." Seattle Weekly
"Furious entertainment....It echoes Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union or Steven Barnes's Lion's Blood, but more comparisons will be made to Philip K. Dick's World War II reimagining The Man in the High Castle." The Onion's AV Club
"If you amalgamated the methodical, punctilious, world-building skills of Ian McDonald with the reality-distortion powers of Philip K. Dick and then folded in the satirical, take-no-prisoners savagery of Norman Spinrad, you might be able to produce a book approximating The Mirage." Barnes and Nobles Review
"That The Mirage shares DNA with airport-kiosk genre exercises is nothing to be ashamed of. A good thriller is hard to pull off. The ingredients are clear enough: propulsive action, sympathetic characterization, and enough detail to ground the story without slowing things down." The Philadelphia City Paper
"This book quite successfully challenges the ideas of Christian moral supremacy and the unchallenged political agenda of superpowers. It is a deeply satisfying novel which excites hopes of a long and productive career for this young writer." Examiner.com
"The Mirage is an intriguing addition to the genre....Ruff spices up his tale with a wealth of arresting details....Ruff keeps you reading, [out of] eagerness to see what twist he'll think of next." The New York Times Book Review
"An audacious new novel....The Mirage is a topsy-turvy tour de force, another winner from a truly inventive and unpredictable storyteller." The San Francisco Chronicle
About the Author
Matt Ruff is the author of the critically acclaimed novels Bad Monkeys, Set This House in Order, Fool on the Hill, and Sewer, Gas & Electric. He lives in Seattle.

1 What is LDAP?
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an Internet protocol that email and other programs use to look up information from a server. LDAP is defined in terms of Abstract Syntax Notation One and transmitted using BER encoding. Directory services may provide any organized set of records, often with a hierarchical structure, such as a corporate email directory. Similarly, a telephone directory is a list of subscribers with an address and a phone number. LDAP is specified in a series of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Standard Track Request for Comments (RFCs). The latest version is Version 3, published as RFC 4511.
2 Integrating LDAP with Drupal
This article examines how LDAP can be integrated into Drupal. Specific modules are available in Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 for LDAP integration. To name a few: Drupal 6 – ldapauth, ldapgroups, ldapdata, ldapsync, Drupal 7 – LDAP Servers, LDAP User, LDAP Query, LDAP Authentication, LDAP Views.
2.1 Prerequisites:
- Server Domain or IP Address e.g. ad.nebraska.edu or 188.8.131.521
- LDAP server requires ldaps (ssl) or start-tls
- LDAP Server Port (usually 389 or 636)
- Base DNs for LDAP user entries. This is the highest part of the LDAP directory that has user entries in it. ou=students,dc=ad,dc=nebraska,dc=edu
- UserName attribute. cn, uid, or sAMAccountName in the user's LDAP entry should map to a drupal username
- Email Attribute. Mail in the user's LDAP entry has the user's email address
2.2 Checking for Prerequisites with LDAP Help Module
- Enable LDAP Servers and LDAP Help modules
- Go to admin/config/people/ldap/help/status (Administration > Configuration > People > LDAP Configuration > Help and check on the following PHP extensions:
- PHP LDAP extension data has LDAP Support enabled.
- mcrypt extension is loaded if you are going to encrypt stored passwords.
- Open ssl or other ssl extension is loaded.
- For ldaps make sure cert on webserver.
2.3 Selected Values for Common LDAP Server Configurations:
- LDAP server: ad.unm.edu (not ldaps://ad.unm.edu)
- LDAP Port: 389
- Use Start TLS checked
- Use Service Account Bind
- Username Attribute: sAMAccountName
- Email Attribute: mail
- Persistent and Unique User Attribute : objectsid
3 LDAP Authorization
LDAP Authorization is simply an API for "authorization consumers" such as Drupal roles or Organic Groups. Drupal roles are most commonly used. You must enable LDAP Authorization and one or more "authorization consumer" modules.
Each "authorization consumer" will have a single configuration entry at: admin/config/people/ldap/authorization that will need to be created, configured and enabled for authorization to work. After configuring an "authorization consumer", use the "test" link to see the authorizations a given test user would be granted.
4 LDAP Authorization Organic Groups for Drupal 7
4.1 Requirements
- Configuration that maps Drupal Users to LDAP Users (Implemented by LDAP Server Module).
- Configuration that maps LDAP user entries to Organic Group membership (Implemented by LDAP Authorization Organic Groups).
- LDAP Authorization modules do not require LDAP Authentication to be used. LDAP Authorization modules will work with CAS, Shib, and other authentication modules including Drupal authentication or Open ID. However, there must be a relationship established between the drupal user and an ldap entry; this relationship is usually the username or email. This relationship is implemented in the LDAP Server module.
- This takes a little patience to setup and test.
4.2 Setup
- Create the Organic Groups and Roles you need. If the default OG roles work (member and admin) you do not need to worry about creating roles.
- Download LDAP project at http://drupal.org/project/ldap
- Enable LDAP Servers and configure an LDAP Server. Only one server can be used with LDAP Authorization OG at a time.
- At admin/config/people/ldap/authorization/add/og_group, create OG Group Configuration. After configuring this, a test page will be available.
- Go to the test page: admin/config/people/ldap/authorization/test/og_group and try some usernames to see what OG roles the user would be granted.
- When you are satisfied with this test with actual users logging in.
4.3 Debugging LDAP Authorization
- Go to the test form: admin/config/people/ldap/authorization/test/drupal_role
- Submit a username.
- In the response page to the form, examine the "Prefiltered and Final Mappings" section. It lists all the "raw authorizations" or the authorizations before filtering and mapping.
- There is some ability to see intermediary data in the authorization code. This can be helpful for debugging. Enable "detailed logging". Then login as the user in question. There will be detailed logs in watchdog of theLDAP authorization steps.
- Authorizations are stored in the $user->data array. To see this array, do the "Picking through the Database" step for the user table. You should see authorization records there.
4.4 LDAP User Module
The actual creation of Drupal account can happen:
- On user login via LDAP authentication: This is the most common use case. After the user successfully authenticates, a Drupal account is created. Fields in the Drupal account (username, mail, uid, last name etc.) are populated based on LDAP User mapping configurations.
- On manual Drupal Account creation: For this use case, whenever a Drupal account is created a check is done for a corresponding LDAP entry. If one is found, the Drupal account fields are populated from the LDAP Entry. This is useful when you have few users and you want to create accounts by hand, or when you are using other modules to mass import users.
- On any Drupal account creation. Regardless of how drupal account is created.
- On cron runs. Not implemented yet.
- On REST web service request. Partially implemented, ping maintainers if this is needed.

Top Ten Tunes Of 2012: History Of Apple Pie's Picks [SPOTIFY PLAYLIST]
The end of the year is all about reflections, new beginnings and, naturally, listening to lots and lots of tunes. That's why we've asked a cadre of bands to assemble a collection of kicka$$ playlists featuring their favorite jams of 2012. Next up, we have History of Apple Pie's picks. Check them out after the jump.
1. Chromatics – "Kill For Love"
Steph: Loved this dark and dense track by Chromatics. The futuristic disco sounds and hypnotic vocals will leave you feeling exhilarated and ridiculously cool.
2. Tame Impala – "Elephant"
Steph: One of the cleverist songs ever written. The bluesy, Sabbath-esque riffs and stomping bass capture the song's title perfectly. Earth-shaking!
3. Sharon Van Etten – "Give Out"
Kelly: Her lyrics are always really interesting and heartfelt. The chorus of this song has been stuck in my head so many times this year!
4. Goat – "Goatman"
James: Probably my favorite song from my favorite album of 2012.
5. DIIV – "Home"
Kelly: This is the last song on the album; its beauty is in its simplicity.
6. Sleigh Bells – "D.O.A"
Jerome: I'm really into the swirly vocal thing in this song. Also I feel like Sleigh Bells is the band I would've made if I'd ever actually gotten round to buying a drum machine.
7. Zebra Katz – "Hey Ladies"
Jerome: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I NEVER get bored of the rhyme 'ladies' and 'Mercedes.'
8. Beak> – "Mono"
James: Beak> released my other favourite album of the year, but they've just released this new non-album single, which is probably their most accessible song yet.
9. Grimes – "Oblivion"
Aslam: It's just a great song. Bonus points for reminding my of 'Johnny and Mary' by Robert Palmer (one of many guilty pleasures).
10. Weird Dreams – Holding Nails
Aslam: 'Holding Nails' soundtracked many a 5-minute saunter over the last year. If it was a cup of tea, I'd drink it.

Aging technology giants are having a hard time staying relevant in today's post-PC world, and some are looking for deals to push growth. NYT reports.» Read More
NEW YORK— A look at New York Stock Exchange 10 most-active stocks at the close of trading:. Alcoa Inc. fell 2.3 percent to $15.83 with 22,421,800 shares traded. Alpha Natural Resources Inc. fell 9.4 percent to $2.70 with 22,178,100 shares traded.
NEW YORK, Sept 19- If Larry Ellison sailed off on his yacht for good tomorrow, who would really run Oracle Corp? Of 12 analysts who replied to an anonymous poll, five said Catz would likely run Oracle, while only one voted for Hurd, 57. Four said both would continue to run the company, one said neither, and one plumped for dark-horse internal candidate Thomas Kurian.
NEW YORK— Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:. Oracle Corp., down $1.75 to $39.80. Dresser-Rand Group Inc., up $6.88 to $79.91.
Stocks rose Friday amid enthusiasm for Alibaba's market debut and relief over voting in Scotland.
*Alibaba soars in debut, Yahoo falls. NEW YORK, Sept 19- U.S. stocks closed little changed on Friday after Alibaba's strong debut was offset by falling technology shares as Oracle and Yahoo stumbled, but the Dow managed to edge higher to set a record for a second straight session.
NEW YORK, Sept 19- Stock markets around the world closed flat on Friday as early gains failed to hold through the session, though the upward trend in equities continued and Alibaba soared in its historic U.S. trading debut.

NEW YORK, Sept 19- The Dow and S&P 500 ended Friday's session with slight moves, while the Nasdaq closed lower after Alibaba's strong debut was offset by such falling technology shares as Oracle and Yahoo.

HP Files for "Touchpad" Trademark
San Diego, CA - In the ever-increasingly saturated market of mobile media devices, evidence suggests that Hewlett Packard (HP) has something new in the works. According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, there has been a recent trademark application filed for "HP Touchpad", which includes "tablet computers".
Thus far, there have been no hints on what operating system this new device will be running. Will it possibly be an Android-based device running Honeycomb? The HP webOS tablets are called "Opal" and "Topaz" and its Windows-based devices are called "Slates" by HP. It doesn't seem as if "Touchpad" is a fit into any of those product lines.
It is also plausible to assume that HP is gradually trying to phase out the Palm trademark that it acquired in 2010 due to negative reviews of the brand. Is the "HP Touchpad" replacing the "PalmPad" trademark which HP filed for in July 2010?
Whatever the path may be, it appears that HP wants to cover all bases.

Membership Rules
The Square is the first and only lasting Private Members club in Bristol and is constituted to provide facilities that enable social intercourse among its members. The management cannot accept responsibility for any other relationships that may develop between members.
Members are encouraged to treat The Square as their second home (or third if they are lucky enough to have 2 already) therefore respect for the property goes without saying. This home from home policy should not extend to moving things like ashtrays from your second home to your first. Theft will not be tolerated; kleptomania is a disease, take something for it.
Members should not bring anyone to The Club that they wouldn't take to their own home, otherwise you may be asked to take them home.
Members are requested to limit the number of guests to 3 at a time on any one visit. You may book the Square kitchen, the lower deck and the terrace facilities for larger bun fights
Members are asked to note that we do not have Guest memberships, free memberships, hangers – on memberships or a membership sharing scheme. A guest will only be admitted to the club if they are accompanied by a current member. If they try to visit without a member and or without membership they will automatically be reclassified as a sponger. Spongers will be discreetly invited to proclaim their obvious liking for The Club by taking up membership.
Members should note that fees are charged by quarterly standing order. If necessary, don't pay your bookie, the mortgage, the Inland Revenue or the housekeeping but please always pay The Square subscription on time and you'll always have somewhere to hide when others come looking for you.
Payment of bills
Members should note that the only unpaid bills acceptable to The Club are full time charity workers christened Jesus at birth. Members involved in acts of extreme bravery or performing exceptional deeds will receive credit for their actions, unfortunately this is only in the form of credit available at The Square. All bills must be paid prior to leaving the club.
Conduct towards other members
Members are expected to support each other at all times, especially when leaving the bar. At closing time we request that you help each other from your seats quickly and in as sensible a fashion as you are able to.
* All members are equal, treat them that way.
* Treat the staff as you do the members
* Don't expect other members to pick up any names you drop
* No fighting, play fighting, talking about fighting or fighting talk
Members are reminded: with proper diet, rest and exercise a healthy body will last a lifetime. Please use the Club's dining facilities as often as possible (don't forget your 20 percent discount as you will not be reminded). Like the rules, reservations should not be broken.
Access to the club is via your membership swipe card. If your swipe card gets swiped, or lost, you must report this to the management immediately. We do not want impostors or impersonators pretending to be you.
Membership fees and Subscriptions Access to the club is exclusive to members. Like all desirable things in life, exclusivity comes at a price. The annual membership charges enable us to maintain The Club exclusively for you.

Two Mechanicsburg men charged in the armed robberies of several restaurants have been ordered to trial.
Alex J. Kennedy, 24, waived his preliminary hearing Monday on charges including robbery, theft and assault.
His alleged accomplice, 24-year-old Dustin Y. Leinbach, also waived his preliminary hearing.
Kennedy is accused of committing robberies at the Pizza Hut at 610 East Simpson Street on November 4, the Subway restaurant at the Windsor Park Shopping Center on November 12, the Hemps Above tobacco shop at 105 North Arch Street on November 15, the Subway in the 1000 block of Wesley Drive on November 18, and the Subway at 4 Gettysburg Pike on December 11.
He allegedly used a handgun for the robberies at Hemps Above and the Wesley Drive Subway, a knife during the hold-up at the Gettysburg Pike Subway, a 1x1 stick during the crime at the Pizza Hut, and a crowbar at the Windsor Park Subway, according to charging documents.
Leinbach allegedly drove Kennedy to the first four robberies and the two agreed to use the money to buy heroin, documents state.
Both men are being held on $100,000 bail at the Cumberland County Prison. A formal arraignment in Cumberland County Court was scheduled for July 25.

- Fiore Rosso Toscana IGT 2012 Product #28254 (In Stock)
Alessandro Fiore got started in the wine business promoting the wines of his father's estates - Poggio Scalette in Chianti and Castelluccio le More in Emilia Romagna – in Europe and the USA. So, when Alessandro decided to strike out on his own, it was natural that he turned to Vittorio Fiore for advice and winemaking help. In 30+ years of consulting across Tuscany, Vittorio had identified a handful of small estates with exceptional quality fruit and wine, but limited marketing resources or skills. With Vittorio finding and making the wines and Alessandro leading on marketing, Fiore Wine Collection was born.
There are several outstanding wines in this line-up, but tasting the Fiore Rosso IGT stopped us cold. This "Super-Tuscan" is a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, all grown near the storied towers of Tuscany's walled city of San Gimignano. Fermented cool and aged all in tank, the wine opens with generous aromas of black cherry, red- and blackcurrant, and a touch of sweet spice. In the mouth, it's flat out exciting, with luscious dark berry and cherry fruit at the core of a lushly textured, velvety, mouthful of wine. The richness and fruit carry on through the rich, plush, finish where velvet-clad tannins and tangy cherry acids provide support, keep the flavors fresh, and pull you back for another sip. You can certainly drink this all by itself, but you'll love it even more with salami, grilled red and white meats, and even pizza! A super value Super Tuscan steal!
- Baracchi O'lillo Toscana 2012 Product #27943 (In Stock)
Fruit comes from three different vineyards: San Martino at 300 meters (where the winery is located), Gabbiano (closer to Montepulciano and excellent for Syrah and Cabernet), and Montanare (where Sangiovese and Merlot grow on hills fought over by Romans and Carthaginians during the Punic Wars). The grapes are hand harvested and given gentle fermentations in neutral oak vats before aging in tank and bottling early to preserve fresh fruit and vibrant acids.
The Wine Spectator review seems spot on to us, although we'd note that this really delicious now for the gobs of primary fruit and touch of licorice and spice flavors. A rare deal on a truly "Super" Tuscan red that will just get better and better with time.
"Round, vibrant and juicy, packing plenty of cherry, raspberry and spice flavors. Broad-shouldered and powerful, this remains focused on the fruit. Shows fine length, echoing cherry, spice and mineral notes. Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Best from 2016 through 2025."Wine Spectator 92 points

'Moonrise Kingdom' Is Paradise
Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
"Moonrise Kingdom," the new movie from Wes Anderson ("Rushmore," "The Darjeeling Limited," "Fantastic Mr. Fox") offers paradise sought, paradise gained and paradise lost, all in very little over 90 minutes. This enchanting fantasy -- one of its key points of reference is Benjamin Britten's operatic adaptation on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" -- is also a heartbreaking evocation not just of young love but of futile lifelong quests to recapture fleeting moments of magic we experience, and how humans can and will imprison themselves in search of lost time.
Sounds like a blast, right? Actually, in large part, it is. Visually, right from the get-go. From the very first frames, viewers conversant with the work of director and co-writer Anderson (he concocted the script with Roman Coppola) might be delighted to find themselves firmly implanted in Wes World. It's 1965 in a Northeastern America island community. The movie more or less begins with a cutaway set of a large house by the water being very deliberately explored. Anderson's moving camera makes exceptionally precise horizontal dollies from room to room, pausing to take in each individual setting depicted; it's like a fluid slide show of dioramas. There's something faux-craftsy and primitive about the depicted rooms. But Anderson's style doesn't quite evoke folk art; rather, it plays like sophisticated reimagining of the idea of folk art, James McNeill Whistler doing Grandma Moses, say.
Search: More on Wes Anderson | More on Bill Murray
This is all by way of introducing an unhappy family of three boys and a girl, headed by Frances McDormand and Bill Murray. The girl, Suzy (Kara Hayward), with her age-inappropriate Carnaby Street eye makeup and intense affect, right away feels like a 12-year-old version of a specific kind of trouble, a precursor to Natalie Portman's character in "The Darjeeling Limited," come to think of it. On another part of the island, a troop of "Khaki Scouts," led by a conscientious albeit chain-smoking scoutmaster played by Edward Norton, has a single scout missing: Sam (Jared Gilman), by all accounts the most despised member of the troop.
Turns out Sam and Suzy met on an enchanted evening a year prior, during a performance of a particularly apt musical theater piece by Britten. They have been corresponding ever since, and have planned an escape together. In the event of their disappearance, the adult community, such as it is (Norton's scoutmaster is a quiet knot of self-doubt if not self-loathing, McDormand and Murray maintain politesse with each other in denial of obvious repellence, and Bruce Willis' stolid police chief is quietly eating himself up over having to keep his affair with McDormand secret; the only thing close to a fulfilled grown-up here is Bob Balaban's narrator-cum-meteorologist) mobilizes the resentful scouts to find the pair. The young not-yet-lovers pitch camp in a particularly gorgeous cove where they swim, dance in their underwear to a Françoise Hardy record, experiment with kissing, and more. They end as lovers ... and are then found, to face the consequences of their actions, which in one case might entail being shipped to an orphanage by a stern woman who goes only by the name Social Services (Tilda Swinton).
The two kids are lovely, and to the extent that one may object that their precociousness and preciousness is improbable, well, one can only sigh. One reason "Moonrise Kingdom" does not function as a realistic depiction of young love, or 1965, or any such thing, is that it is not conceived as a realist work. Even more so than in "The Darjeeling Limited," Anderson is here working in the tradition of the filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. The duo's "The Red Shoes," "I Know Where I'm Going!," "A Canterbury Tale" and so many more were examples of what Powell called "the composed film," a movie in which each element was worked out to meticulously mesh with the other, a movie in which all of the art forms that inform movies -- painting, music, theater, sculpture, the whole lot -- are brought to bear with equal emphasis, a movie in which the contours of the real and the fantastic rub freely against each other to produce ... well, hopefully a kind of aesthetic alchemy. "Moonrise Kingdom" partakes of the traditions of, among other things, the fairy tale, the Looney Tunes cartoon and, yes, Shakespeare. One of the film's pivotal moments comes at nightfall, and the Britten-studded soundtrack offers one of the most beguiling musical moments from that composer's opera of "A Midsummer Night's Dream": the fairies' song "On the Ground, Sleep Sound," which assures that "all will be well."
Will it? In the midst of all of Anderson's gorgeous design and contrivance are quietly desperate adults and deeply troubled children who use their skills to contrive an escape to any world that they are welcome to, only to find that they don't have permission to stay, and that life goes on anyway. The house in which Suzy and her family live may be colorful and beautiful, but it's a prison, and there's a strong sense in which the movie says that it can't not be prison. The artistic imagination enlivens the surfaces of such environments, to the extent that many can mistake what this film is propagating as jejune whimsy. But "Moonrise Kingdom" is at heart very much a tragicomedy. If it is a Fabergé egg of a movie, it's one with a very grave heart. The effect of the movie's negative capability, then, is to create an exhilarating viewing experience that nevertheless carries a haunting weight. It's an extraordinary thing, from start to finish.

This was pretty darn good! Very easy to put together. Didn't have the vanilla bean so I subbed 1 1 /2 tsp of vanilla extract. I will definitely make this again, but will add more lemon juice next time (I love lemon!). I also made a mixed berry sauce to serve it with. Yummy!

New Girl is kinda racist or what? yeah i just went there.
At first, everybody was weird. They constantly kept harping on Nick because he was a drunk and a loser. In a funny way, but you know, also depressing.
Jess was also bad at everything she attempted.
But now they're together, and they're amazing at life whenever.
So it's up to Winston and Schmidt to provide the laughs. Also conveniently the black guy and the jew
Then even Schmidt gets all his real feels subplots so it's only up to Winston to provide the slapstick. Seriously? That is one of the more offensive tokens ever. Winston is depressed, massively unhappy and basically has no friends. This is even hinted in some scenes and episodes, but you know, still in a funny way. They're not even showing him work anymore, and he had the most interesting workplace and career of the whole cast.
Winston needs to break through the cage, move the fuck out of that hipster jail.
I know it ain't the wire, but it's still seriously messed up.
I just don't really… insanely love most things? Like some things are really cool, some are indeed awesome, most are just aiight I guess.
Like Mad Men, latest episode, tell me again how anything about that shit is genius. I really wanna know. I just don't see it.
It's good, I get that. I'm totally entertained. It's better than Castle, i also get that. Of course. Of course.
But maybe… you know, it's kinda the same thing? In the sense that both are a way to spend an hour every week relaxing on the couch?
I mean, the moment it's off, I don't really care one bit about it, either way. Is that so awful? Not obsessing over a tv show all week?
Who in their right mind has time to write, or even read those fucking weekly recaps? And what good do they do?

Mai sentito la televisione definirsi così bene in due minuti di onestà. Le serie tv sono tutte uguali, tra loro e rispetto a quelle che c'erano prima, solo che ora, sopra le solite vecchie palle di una volta, hanno una spruzzata di futuro, di nuovo, una vaga mano di vernice. Che quest'anno è esattamente, per ripetere le immortali parole di Aprea,
'…con una strana, colorata, luccicante frociaggine, smaliziata e allegra come una cazzo di lambada'

Yesterday Joe Paterno died. When someone dies we almost always look for the the good they leave behind. It's our nature. However, yesterday as I watched the news break on Twitter and Facebook, I noticed that reaction to his death was one of the most polarizing events I've ever witnessed. People wanted to talk about his "legacy" and many of those who scorned him just a few months ago were now remembering Coach Paterno for all the good he's done over the years.
This article, "Joe Patern's Legacy Outweighs Scandal" has well over 3,000 comments as I write this. Each comment the polar opposite of the one before it. One reader responded with the following:
"Great read… it's refreshing and inspiring to read someone who understands that while he admits he made a mistake, one mistake shouldn't forego his 61+ years of dedication, and the tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of lives he touched and helped improve."
Another weighs in with this:
"No. Scandal outweighs legacy you idiot. People are more important than football."
People keep arguing about whether or not his failure to expose the rape of innocent children can be somehow offset by his 61 years of being a great coach and mentor. Personally it's not even a question worth debating but it's not my opinion that matters.
Ask the parents of the victims whether they'll remember the generous donations Paterno made to Penn State or the sleepless nights their children spent blaming themselves for what went wrong.
Ask the victims whether they'll remember 409 career wins or the shame stemming from those unspeakable events in a State College locker room.
In a Washinton Post interview that took place just over a week ago, Joe Paterno said of the abuse, "In hindsight, I wish I had done more."
So do we, Joe Paterno. That could have been your legacy.

TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants
Let me start by saying I know every inductee in this year's HOF class absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I wouldn't take it from any of them.I was simply very surprised when I saw that Michael Strahan was left out. I just knew from the day that he retired, he would be a first ballot Hall-of-Famer.That surprise resurfaced, recently, as I watched the Super Bowl.When the final whistle blew, and the Baltimore Ravens were victorious, and all the fanfare started to unfold, I watched as the legendary Ray Lewis hoisted the Lombardi into the air capping off a remarkable career with a storybook ending. Lewis, I believe, will be in the Hall as soon as he is eligible.The thing that amazes me the most with the situation is that five years ago, I watched as Strahan hoisted the same trophy after finishing a remarkable career of a decade-and-a-half as a defensive leader of the New York Giants. At that time I was just as certain that Strahan would be a first ballot Hall-of-Famer ...

Happy Thanksgiving from Jojo of vegan.in.brighton! She writes that this year she didn't want to miss out on all the Thanksgiving fun, and she and her husband really threw themselves into the spirit of the holiday (i.e., gluttony).
"We made the Seitan en Croute from 500 Vegan Recipes, this is quickly becoming one of my favourite cookbooks as everything I've made from it keeps turning out perfectly! We also made roast potatoes, mashed maple sweet potatoes, roasted squash, sage & onion stuffing, carrots, corn, and the sage gravy from Vegan Comfort Food. We also had cranberry sauce, which I bought from a shop!
I still can't get my head around the idea of pumpkin as a dessert so instead I made the Silken Chocolate Mousse Cake from My Sweet Vegan, I love this & am always looking for excuses to make it."
As we understand it, Brighton is the San Francisco of England, so Jojo if you'd like to do a cultural/sister-city-type exchange some time, Vegansaurus is open to it. That is, after you've recovered from devouring that beautiful spread. Happy Thanksgiving!

Project Just Desserts: Veganizing Top Chef! Week three: VEGAN Peanut Butter Krispy Bar and VEGAN Toffee Fudge Brownie! »
Last week, guest veganizer Janet Hudson made gorgeous margarita bombes three ways, a recipe that nicely synced up with our last week of really summery weather. For the third installment of Vegansaurus' Project Just Desserts: Veganizing Top Chef, we are pleased to introduce Celine Steen! As you know, Celine is the proprietor of the highly regarded Have Cake, Will Travel, and the author of several cookbooks. For her challenge, she needed to recreate the winning recipe from a school bake sale, something particularly suited to her vegan talents.
Celine being a superstar, she decided to veganize both the winning dessert and the second-place dessert, so lucky us, we get two recipes this week! The first is for Eric Wolitzky's Peanut Butter Krispy Bar, spelled that way because he used fancy brand-name cereal. Also he baked for something like a billion children, which is why the those proportions look insane. Celine cut them down to regular, one-household size for you, of course, but never mind that: Let's bake some tasty rectangular prisms!
Vegan Peanut Butter Krispy Bar
The first topping will appear darker than the one used on the show, since semi-sweet chocolate is used rather than milk chocolate. If you find affordable and tasty vegan milk chocolate, by all means, this will be delicious too.
Puffed cereal layer
¼ cup nondairy butter
¼ cup water
¼ cup light agave nectar or light corn syrup
⅓ cup granulated sugar
4 to 6 cups puffed rice (or other puffed cereal; quantity may vary depending on the size of the puffed cereal chosen)
Middle layer
1 cup (132 g) semisweet chocolate
½ cup plus 2 Tbs (140 g) natural peanut butter, at room temperature or slightly heated, to combine easily
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs (140 g) store-bought or homemade vegan hazelnut chocolate spread, at room temperature or slightly heated, to combine easily
Top layer
1 cup (132 g) bittersweet chocolate
3 Tbs (42 g) natural peanut butter
1 tsp light agave nectar or light corn syrup
Puffed cereal layer
Melt nondairy butter; set aside.
Combine water, agave/corn syrup and sugar; cook to soft ball stage. Whisk melted nondairy butter into soft ball sugar.
Pour over puffed cereal and fold together well. Add enough cereal so that it is coated and moist.
Pour mixture into an 8-inch square pan lined with parchment or wax paper and coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread out evenly, press down firmly with more parchment or wax paper to minimize the mess, and let cool.
Middle layer
Melt chocolate using bain-marie method or microwave. Combine with peanut butter and chocolate spread. Pour and spread this mixture over cooled puffed cereal preparation. Let cool to set up.
Top layer
Melt bittersweet chocolate, peanut butter and agave/corn syrup.
Pour and spread over bars.
Let entire pan cool overnight.
Cut into desired shapes. Stores well in the freezer.
The proportion gigantism continues in the second-place recipe, Malika Ameen's Toffee Fudge Brownie, aside from which they also look kind of gross. Sure, a cup of heavy cream, that seems, um, reasonable, but 22 eggs? Not while Jack DeCoster's still Mister Egg USA. Thank goodness for Celine and her mighty veganizing powers!
Vegan Toffee Fudge Brownie
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened coconut cream (makes for a buttery taste; can be found at international markets. Use any other nondairy creamer if desired)
½ cup light agave nectar or light corn syrup
½ pound (227 g) nondairy butter, cut into cubes
Non-stick cooking spray or nondairy butter
3.5 ounces (100 g) 70 percent chocolate
¼ cup plus 1 Tbs (70 g) nondairy butter
3 packed Tbs (39 g) light brown sugar
½ cup plus 2 Tbs (115 g) granulated sugar
½ cup (120 g) blended silken tofu
2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ sheet of toffee, cut into good-sized chunks*
1. Have a Silpat-lined baking sheet and a large offset spatula handy.
2. In medium saucepan, combine cream, sugar and agave/corn syrup.
3. Over medium-high heat, bring mixture to a boil without stirring. Brush sides of pan with wet pastry brush to dissolve any sugar.
4. Add butter and continue to cook without stirring until mixture becomes light brown.
5. When mixture becomes light brown, begin to stir with a heatproof spatula until it becomes a caramel color and thick enough to be poured without spilling. The whole process may take up to 15 minutes.
6. Carefully pour mixture onto Silpat-lined sheet tray and spread to about ¼-inch thickness.
7. Let toffee cool and store it in the freezer.
1. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Melt chocolate with butter over a bain-marie or use the microwave, if you are a soulless baker like me.
2.Transfer into a large bowl and, using an immersion blender, combine with sugars, tofu, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla until smooth. Fold in flour, baking powder and toffee chunks.
3.Bake at 325°F for 20 to 30 minutes. Mine were done after 26 minutes: you'll know they're ready when the top is set and the sides pull away from the pan.
There will be leftover toffee, which keeps well in the freezer. The brownies taste great straight from the freezer, too.
*Larger toffee chunks tend to stay whole in the brownies, as opposed to smaller ones that melt almost completely. Regardless, you'll definitely taste the toffee.
We are so grateful to Celine for veganizing two recipes for us! If you don't already read her blog, what is wrong with you? She writes recipes for six cookies at a time! Because sometimes you only want to make six cookies! I can't believe no one's offered her a deal specifically for one-to-two-person recipes; this is the USA, we are DUMB and LAZY and math is for immigrants and their children. In case you are too lazy to find the link on the left, click here to read the Project Just Desserts archive. Please let us know if you attempt Celine's recipe's, or Janet's margarita bombes, or Laura's mousse torte, or any of the recipes to come! Send photos! Play along!

Top Chef: Just Desserts, episode three airs tonight, and our third chef is revealed! »
The third episode of Top Chef: Just Desserts airs on Bravo tonight (10 Eastern/Pacific), which means that we're ready to unveil our third guest chef (see the first two here!) who will veganize the episode's winning dessert! Have you been able to bear the suspense? We have, but just barely! Ohhhh, puns, can you take it?!
This week's guest chef is the TOTALLY RAD Celine Steen of the hugely popular and highly delicious Have Cake, Will Travel! If you've spent more than two seconds on Have Cake, Will Travel, you know that Celine makes the most ridiculous-looking food EVER. If you haven't tried to eat your screen while on her site, have your prescription checked, okaaaaay?? Not only that, she co-wrote the fabulous must-own cookbook 500 Vegan Recipes: An Amazing Variety of Delicious Recipes, From Chilis and Casseroles to Crumbles, Crisps, and Cookies. It's epic. What's more, she has TWO cookbooks coming out in 2011, The Complete Guide to Vegan Food Substitutions (GENIUS!) and Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites (MORE GENIUS!). No vegan (OR ANY) kitchen is complete without Celine's website, cookbooks, and AMAZING food photography.
We love her and are so honored to have her tackle this week's recipe, however insane/terrifying/complicated it might be. So enjoy Top Chef: Just Desserts tonight (if you want, no pressure, KILL YOUR TELEVISION! Unless you're me and then IF YOU TOUCH MY TV IMMA MURDER YOU) and then check back with us next Monday to see Celine's amazing veganization of the winning dish!
And now, your episode preview: Will our veganizer have to make A WEDDING CAKE? Or is this a preview of something completely different?

DWI in Police Parking Lot?
Brentwood (WALK) - He pulled over to sleep it off, but he picked the wrong spot, according to state troopers.
They've arrested a Bay Shore man who was found passed out at the wheel of his car outside the State Police barracks on Crooked Hill Road in Brentwood Tuesday night. Juan Molina's blue Hyundai was parked but its engine was still running and its lights were on, according to police.
Troopers say they realized Molina, 39, was asleep when they knocked on the window to see if he needed help. He allegedly smelled of alcohol and was later tested with a blood alcohol level of 0.17, which is more than twice the legal limit of .08.
The suspect was not hurt and he's been ordered to appear in court on December 23rd.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Since the 2006
introduction of routine inoculation against rotavirus -- a leading
cause of diarrhea in infants and young children -- almost 65,000
fewer American children have been hospitalized and about $278
million in healthcare costs have been saved, according to new
The vaccine targets rotavirus, a common and easily transmitted
pathogen. The new study, from a team at the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that there were 89
percent fewer rotavirus-specific hospitalizations in children who
had gotten the vaccine compared to unvaccinated children.
"Diarrhea causes by rotavirus is one of the most common illnesses in children. It's usually self-limited and treated at home, but before the vaccine was introduced, the virus was responsible for about 200,000 emergency room visits and 400,000 physician office visits a year," noted the study's senior author, Dr. Umesh Parashar, a medical epidemiologist and team leader of the viral gastroenteritis team at the CDC in Atlanta.
Before routine rotavirus inoculations in 2006, the virus was
associated with 20 to 60 deaths a year in children under 5 in the
United States -- although that figure was much higher in developing
countries. "In the U.S., with good access to healthcare, we can
prevent the worse outcomes from diarrheal illness. Globally, there
are about a half a million deaths caused by this pathogen,"
Parashar added.
Results of the study are published in the Sept. 22 issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine.
In 1998, the first rotavirus vaccine became available. However,
it was quickly withdrawn from the market when otherwise healthy
babies began to develop a condition known as intussusception. This
condition causes the bowel to fold into itself, much like a
telescope, triggering an often life-threatening bowel obstruction.
The vaccine was withdrawn from the market in 1999, when the CDC
linked these cases with the administration of the vaccine. The CDC
estimated that for every 10,000 doses of vaccine, about one to two
cases of intussusceptions occurred.
However, rotavirus itself is a risk factor for developing
intussusception, according to information from the CDC, and to
infectious disease specialist, Dr. Marian Michaels, from Children's
Hospital of Pittsburgh, Penn.
Michaels said that before the current, safer versions of the
rotavirus vaccine came to market, studies including tens of
thousands of children were done. "This was really something people
took very seriously. They wanted to make sure that we first cause
no harm," she said.
So, since 2006, two new versions of rotavirus vaccine have been
introduced. The vaccine is given orally at two, four and six months
of age, according to background information in the study. Parashar
said the current study didn't look at rates of intussusception, but
research in Latin America and Australia has found that the
incidence there was approximately one or two per 100,000 babies
The study estimated that if this finding applied to the United
States and all infants in the country were vaccinated, there would
be an additional 50 cases of intussusception and additional health
care costs of about $500,000, in contrast to the tens of thousands
of hospitalizations prevented and millions of dollars saved by
vaccinating against rotavirus.
"The most important thing is that this vaccine decreases the risk of a child getting rotavirus, and possibly needing hospitalization because of dehydration. The benefits of this vaccine outweigh the risks," said Michaels.
Parashar and his colleagues compared 2007-2009 data from U.S.
insurance databases against similar data from 2001 through 2006, to
assess trends in rotavirus hospitalizations, ER visits and
physician-office visits over time.
By the end of 2008, 73 percent of children had gotten at least
one dose of rotavirus vaccine, 64 percent of children between one
and two years of age had at least the initial dose of the vaccine,
and 8 percent of children between two and four years old had at
least one dose. Parashar said the vaccine needs to be given before
children are eight months old.
The researchers found that hospitalization rates for diarrhea
went down as much as 33 percent after introduction of the vaccine.
For rotavirus-specific hospitalizations, the rate went down as much
as 75 percent, according to the study.
When the researchers compared vaccinated and unvaccinated
children, they found the rate of rotavirus-specific
hospitalizations were 89 percent less for vaccinated children. The
number of ER visits were about 48 percent lower for vaccinated
children, and physician office visits were around 12 percent lower
for children who received the vaccine.
"Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrheal illness. The vaccine can prevent and reduce the disease burden substantially," said Parashar.
"This vaccine decreases the risk of a child getting rotavirus and needing hospitalization. I think this is extraordinarily exciting, and we've already seen the reduction in the ER," said Michaels.

I guess none of us should be surprised that a monster who pleaded guilty to repeatedly raping his 3-year-old daughter would accept a plea bargain in which he testifies against his wife for acting as an accomplice in the rape. But excuse me if I'm just a little horrified that the Michigan dad who remains nameless would even be offered a plea deal.
I'm talking, of course, about the horrific story that broke this summer in which we learned that a 28-year-old dad raped his toddler "too many times to remember" while his 36-year-old wife and the mother of the child often held the baby's hand "so it wouldn't hurt so much."
It's disgusting to think the dad won't get everything he deserves. But then again, maybe his serving as a witness against his wife ensures that justice is served for her, too?
The mom in this case was a victim of sexual assault as a child and admitted to police immediately after her husband's arrest that she held the toddler's hand during the rapes. She has since been charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. You can seriously start playing a violin for her right now, if you wish, but my feeling is she is an adult woman who should have received help long ago for the abuse she sadly incurred as a child. She lost the right to receive compassion, in my opinion, the second she allowed her own flesh and blood to experience the same abuse and pain that destroyed her life.
And, according to her daughter's reports, mom wasn't just an innocent lamb standing by her husband's side. She allegedly also took photos of her daughter's private parts.
Despite my wanting this woman locked up for the rest of her life, something I know her husband's testimony will help happen, I'm still disgusted that 10 of the 12 charges originally brought upon the dad are being dropped in exchange for his guilty plea. He is now being charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and faces two consecutive terms of 25 years in prison for each count.
And yet, that doesn't seem like justice for ruining his child's life. I wasn't sure at first how I felt about an Alabama's lawmaker's bill to force sex offenders to be surgically castrated -- until now. In this case, at least, I'm all for it.
How do you feel about the guilty plea this dad was offered? Is the sentence he might receive good enough?
Image via Victor/Flickr
I have no words. This is so disgusting, hang both of them.
There comes a time in everyone's life that they have to become responsible for their own actions. So this woman was sexually abused and didn't receive treatment for her issues, that makes her actions OK? Not by a long shot. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who have had similar experiences that grow up and become more protective of their child because of what they went through. That piece of $hit husband and wife team need to be SURGICALLY castrated, and then put in general population in prison with a BIG neon sign on their backs letting the others know exactly why they are there and let prison justice take it's course.
The death penalty should be handed down in cases like this....for both of them. They do not deserve to live on the same planet as that little girl anymore. Sick.
We need to stop with the bullshit sentences and plea deals. ALL PEDOPHILES THAT ABUSE KIDS SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH END STORY.

Coyotes forward Eric Belanger does not want his team to leave Phoenix, but if it does, it appears that he prefers Quebec City over Winnipeg as a possible playing destination.
Speaking to Sun Sports media on Friday, Belanger reflected on the possibility that the club's time in Phoenix could be down to its final weeks should the sale of the team to potential buyer Matthew Hulsizer fall apart.
"The guys have been talking about it a bit more every day, and the one sure thing is that we want to play in Phoenix and not in Winnipeg," Belanger told Sun Sports. "Personally, and I won't name any names, but I've chatted with guys that have played (in Winnipeg) and don't want to go back. There are reasons why hockey wasn't working in Winnipeg at the end, I don't see how that would have changed."
Belanger, 33, is a veteran of nine NHL seasons, and has also played for Los Angeles, Carolina, Atlanta, Minnesota, and Washington. The native of Sherbrooke, Quebec was drafted by the Kings in 1996, one year before the Jets left Winnipeg for Arizona.
"There are good fans there, but Winnipeg is still Winnipeg," Belanger said in the report. "In January and February, I doubt that my family would follow me out there for a holiday.
"In the mind of the players, it's Quebec before Winnipeg, for sure."
Quebec City, which lost the Nordiques to Colorado in 1995, has been rumoured alongside Winnipeg as a possible destination for an NHL team that may eventually be relocated from the United States.
"It's different in Quebec," Belanger told Sun Sports. "They are the same fans, but the economy seems to really be rolling along. The guys that I talk to loved playing in Quebec. You can't go to practice in shorts and t-shirts like I did this morning, but Quebec is attractive. At least there are things to do there."
Belanger also addressed the issue of the small crowds in Glendale that have made the Coyotes a money-loser since they arrived in the Phoenix area.
"We can't blame our fans," Belanger said. "It's been two years that they have been wondering if the club would be moving, and they will come back when it is settled.
"When these markets are having trouble, it's less money in our pockets. But do we want to go to Winnipeg for an extra one or two percent? I'm not so sure."

Why bother with hiding your products like this? It will be seen one way or another. And as far as competition goes, Apple has a good following so even if HP, or any computer manufacturer for that matter, were to get details and make a better product, Apples following will still purchase.
The whole idea of this seems a bit ridiculous, to say the least.
All that this secrecy does is make those really keen on knowing to go to the extra lengths to find these things out, and also Apple spends extra on security which would not have been the case if they hadn't started towing the secrecy line!
Then again, I wouldn't blame Apple too much cos of industrial espionage and the potential damage inherent...

lol is that even legal? and if it is, why are they keeping it secret if in one month or so they'll be released?
Nothing to be hided, we all know what it look like......big deal.
So theoretically Apple could be shipping thousands upon thousands of tons of cocaine and US Customs wouldn't know?

For decades, teachers, managers and parents have assumed that the performance of students and employees fits what's known as the bell curve — in most activities, we expect a few people to be very good, a few people to be very bad and most people to be average.
The bell curve powerfully shapes how we think of human performance: If lots of students or employees happen to show up as extreme outliers — they're either very good or very bad — we assume they must represent a skewed sample, because only a few people in a truly random sample are supposed to be outliers.
New research suggests, however, that rather than describe how humans perform, the bell curve may actually be constraining how people perform. Minus such constraints, a new paper argues, lots of people are actually outliers. -Shankar Vedantam

The rapper from Odd Future, whose disappearance became a pop music mystery, speaks out on where he went: Coral Reef Academy, a therapeutic retreat for at-risk boys in Vaitele, outside of the Samoan capital of Apia:
As Odd Future became more popular, though, his absence was harder to ignore. While Ms. Harris remained largely silent, 'Free Earl' became a slogan, a hashtag, a mantra. Odd Future fans began to see her as an antagonist. At one point a threatening note was left on her door.
'I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams that this decision to send him away to a school that had the kind of support for his emotional well-being that he needed would turn into a story about locking him away,' she said.
