In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don't like. Here's why that's disastrous for education—and mental health.
Something strange is happening at America's colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for The New Yorker about law students asking her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law—or, in one case, even use the word violate (as in "that violates the law") lest it cause students distress. In February, Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, wrote an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education describing a new campus politics of sexual paranoia—and was then subjected to a long investigation after students who were offended by the article and by a tweet she'd sent filed Title IX complaints against her. In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. "I'm a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me," the headline said. A number of popular comedians, including Chris Rock, have stopped performing on college campuses (see Caitlin Flanagan's article in this month's issue). Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have publicly condemned the oversensitivity of college students, saying too many of them can't take a joke.
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
In continuing to tinker with the universe she built eight years after it ended, J.K. Rowling might be falling into the same trap as Star Wars's George Lucas.
September 1st, 2015 marked a curious footnote in Harry Potter marginalia: According to the series's elaborate timeline, rarely referenced in the books themselves, it was the day James S. Potter, Harry's eldest son, started school at Hogwarts. It's not an event directly written about in the books, nor one of particular importance, but their creator, J.K. Rowling, dutifully took to Twitter to announce what amounts to footnote details: that James was sorted into House Gryffindor, just like his father, to the disappointment of Teddy Lupin, Harry's godson, apparently a Hufflepuff.
It's not earth-shattering information that Harry's kid would end up in the same house his father was in, and the Harry Potter series's insistence on sorting all of its characters into four broad personality quadrants largely based on their family names has always struggled to stand up to scrutiny. Still, Rowling's tweet prompted much garment-rending among the books' devoted fans. Can a tweet really amount to a piece of canonical information for a book? There isn't much harm in Rowling providing these little embellishments years after her books were published, but even idle tinkering can be a dangerous path to take, with the obvious example being the insistent tweaks wrought by George Lucas on his Star Wars series.
I traveled to every country on earth. In some cases, the adventure started before I could get there.
Last summer, my Royal Air Maroc flight from Casablanca landed at Malabo International Airport in Equatorial Guinea, and I completed a 50-year mission: I had officially, and legally, visited every recognized country on earth.
This means 196 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations, plus Taiwan, Vatican City, and Kosovo, which are not members but are, to varying degrees, recognized as independent countries by other international actors.
In five decades of traveling, I've crossed countries by rickshaw, pedicab, bus, car, minivan, and bush taxi; a handful by train (Italy, Switzerland, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, and Greece); two by riverboat (Gabon and Germany); Norway by coastal steamer; Gambia and the Amazonian parts of Peru and Ecuador by motorized canoe; and half of Burma by motor scooter. I rode completely around Jamaica on a motorcycle and Nauru on a bicycle. I've also crossed three small countries on foot (Vatican City, San Marino, and Liechtenstein), and parts of others by horse, camel, elephant, llama, and donkey. I confess that I have not visited every one of the 7,107 islands in the Philippine archipelago or most of the more than 17,000 islands constituting Indonesia, but I've made my share of risky voyages on the rickety inter-island rustbuckets you read about in the back pages of the Times under headlines like "Ship Sinks in Sulu Sea, 400 Presumed Lost."
Heather Armstrong's Dooce once drew millions of readers. Her blog's semi-retirement speaks to the challenges of earning money as an individual blogger today.
The success story of Dooce.com was once blogger lore, told and re-told in playgroups and Meetups—anywhere hyper-verbal people with Wordpress accounts gathered. "It happened for that Dooce lady," they would say. "It could happen for your blog, too."
Dooce has its origin in the late 1990s, when a young lapsed Mormon named Heather Armstrong taught herself HTML code and moved to Los Angeles. She got a job in web design and began blogging about her life on her personal site, Dooce.com.
The site's name evolved out of her friends' AOL Instant-Messenger slang for dude, or its more incredulous cousin, "doooood!" About a year later, Armstrong was fired for writing about her co-workers on the site—an experience that, for a good portion of the 'aughts, came known as "getting dooced." She eloped with her now ex-husband, Jon, moved to Salt Lake City, and eventually started blogging full time again.
ISIS did not merely blast apart old stones—it attacked the very foundations of pluralistic society.
If the ruined ruins of Palmyra could speak, they would marvel at our shock. After all, they have been sacked before. In their mute and shattered eloquence, they spoke for centuries not only about the cultures that built them but also about the cultures that destroyed them—about the fragility of civilization itself, even when it is incarnated in stone. No designation of sanctity, by God or by UNESCO, suffices to protect the past. The past is helpless. Instead these ruins, all ruins, have had the effect of lifting the past out of history and into time. They carry the spectator away from facts and toward reveries.
In the 18th century, after the publication in London of The Ruins of Palmyra, a pioneering volume of etchings by Robert Wood, who had traveled to the Syrian desert with the rather colorful James Dawkins, a fellow antiquarian and politician, the desolation of Palmyra became a recurring symbol for ephemerality and the vanity of all human endeavors. "It is the natural and common fate of cities," Wood dryly remarked in one of the essays in his book, "to have their memory longer preserved than their ruins." Wood's beautiful and meticulous prints served as inspirations for paintings, and it was in response to one of those paintings that Diderot wrote some famous pages in his great Salons of 1767: "The ideas ruins evoke in me are grand. Everything comes to nothing, everything perishes, everything passes, only the world remains, only time endures. ... Wherever I cast my glance, the objects surrounding me announce death and compel my resignation to what awaits me. What is my ephemeral existence in comparison with that of a rock being worn down, of a valley being formed, of a forest that's dying, of these deteriorating masses suspended above my head? I see the marble of tombs crumble into powder and I don't want to die!"
Why haven't more challengers entered the race to defeat the Iraq War hawk, Patriot Act supporter, and close friend of big finance?
As Hillary Clinton loses ground to Bernie Sanders in Iowa, where her lead shrinks by the day, it's worth noticing that she has never made particular sense as the Democratic Party's nominee. She may be more electable than her social-democratic rival from Vermont, but plenty of Democrats are better positioned to represent the center-left coalition. Why have they let the former secretary of state keep them out of the race? If Clinton makes it to the general election, I understand why most Democrats will support her. She shares their views on issues as varied as preserving Obamacare, abortion rights, extending legal status to undocumented workers, strengthening labor unions, and imposing a carbon tax to slow climate change.
It's not just Trump: With Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina on the rise, Republicans are loving outsiders and shunning politicians.
For the first time in a long time, Donald Trump isn't the most interesting story in the 2016 presidential race. That's partly because his dominance in the Republican polls, while still surprising, is no longer novel and increasingly well explored and explained, but it's also partly because what's going on with the rest of the GOP field is far more interesting.
It's a topsy-turvy world. Take Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina to start. Carson's campaign has been up and down, with occasional turbulence on his staff. But despite foolish reporters writing him off, Carson has been on fire since the first GOP debate on August 6. According to RealClearPolitics' average of national polls, he's now running a solid second, behind Trump. In Iowa, he's tied or just a hair behind the man with the hair. Meanwhile, his fundraising remains strong.
Demonizing processed food may be dooming many to obesity and disease. Could embracing the drive-thru make us all healthier?
Late last year, in a small health-food eatery called Cafe Sprouts in Oberlin, Ohio, I had what may well have been the most wholesome beverage of my life. The friendly server patiently guided me to an apple-blueberry-kale-carrot smoothie-juice combination, which she spent the next several minutes preparing, mostly by shepherding farm-fresh produce into machinery. The result was tasty, but at 300 calories (by my rough calculation) in a 16-ounce cup, it was more than my diet could regularly absorb without consequences, nor was I about to make a habit of $9 shakes, healthy or not.
Inspired by the experience nonetheless, I tried again two months later at L.A.'s Real Food Daily, a popular vegan restaurant near Hollywood. I was initially wary of a low-calorie juice made almost entirely from green vegetables, but the server assured me it was a popular treat. I like to brag that I can eat anything, and I scarf down all sorts of raw vegetables like candy, but I could stomach only about a third of this oddly foamy, bitter concoction. It smelled like lawn clippings and tasted like liquid celery. It goes for $7.95, and I waited 10 minutes for it.
When Kenneth Jarecke photographed an Iraqi man burned alive, he thought it would change the way Americans saw the Gulf War. But the media wouldn't run the picture.
The Iraqi soldier died attempting to pull himself up over the dashboard of his truck. The flames engulfed his vehicle and incinerated his body, turning him to dusty ash and blackened bone. In a photograph taken soon afterward, the soldier's hand reaches out of the shattered windshield, which frames his face and chest. The colors and textures of his hand and shoulders look like those of the scorched and rusted metal around him. Fire has destroyed most of his features, leaving behind a skeletal face, fixed in a final rictus. He stares without eyes.
On February 28, 1991, Kenneth Jarecke stood in front of the charred man, parked amid the carbonized bodies of his fellow soldiers, and photographed him. At one point, before he died this dramatic mid-retreat death, the soldier had had a name. He'd fought in Saddam Hussein's army and had a rank and an assignment and a unit. He might have been devoted to the dictator who sent him to occupy Kuwait and fight the Americans. Or he might have been an unlucky young man with no prospects, recruited off the streets of Baghdad.

Submission + - OpenBSD - not so secure afterall->
An anonymous reader writes: OpenBSD is considered by many to be the most secure operating system — bar none. The linked article provides an argument to dispell this myth, arguing that Linux and FreeBSD are intrinsically more secure because of their implementations of MAC technology. Furthermore the article is critical of the OpenBSD's team understanding of security concepts and examines the use of strlcpy, their choice to make sendmail the default MTA, and even points out that current versions of Windows are more secure in some instances. If nothing else, an interesting read, and hopefully good conversation fodder.

ETSU to face Fresno State in Bracket Buster Saturday
Monday, February 02, 2004CONTEST WILL BE PART OF ESPN TELEVISION PACKAGE JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 2, 2004) - ESPN announced Monday that the East Tennessee State University men's basketball team will be paired against Western Athletic Conference member Fresno State as part of the ESPN Bracket Buster Saturday on Feb. 21. The game will be part of the event's 10-game television package. "Fresno State is a well-known name in college athletics, and they have some quality wins over teams like Hawaii and Washington State out of the Pac 10," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team is currently 17-4 overall, 9-0 in Southern Conference play. "We're really excited to be a part of the television component of the event, and it's really important to point out that we want to get good programs in the Dome. By being a part of Bracket Busters, we'll be able to bring Fresno State back here next year." Indeed, while the Bucs will be eligible again next year for the Bracket Buster, they are now guaranteed a home-and-home contract with Fresno State, meaning the Bulldogs (10-8 overall, No. 82 RPI) will play at Memorial Center next season. In addition, the game on Feb. 21 will be part of the ESPN television package and may possibly be televised locally as part of a syndicated broadcast. ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dave Mullins said that being involved in the Bracket Busters Saturday is an early indication of where ETSU men's basketball is going and the focus on taking the program to a higher level. "When we were given the opportunity, we saw this as another step in the process of gaining national exposure for our program and building on the momentum we are establishing for basketball," Mullins said. "Playing on a national stage is something we are always interesting in doing. You can't buy this kind of advertising for our university and community. This gives the rest of the country an opportunity to learn what we are all about at ETSU." The Bracket Buster Saturday series was developed by ESPN in conjunction with a group of conference commissioners prior to the 2002-03 basketball season. The 2004 event is an ESPN television property in its second year of existence after a highly successful inaugural event last February. The term "bracket buster" was chosen by ESPN as the name for the event in recognition of the collective achievements teams in the field in past NCAA tournaments, with numerous upsets of higher-seeded teams taking place almost every year - hence, the term bracket buster. A total of 46 teams from 11 conferences made themselves available to participate in the Bracket Buster Saturday Series. Only the top teams will be featured on ESPN. Five games will be carried on ESPN2 and another five games will played played on ESPN's Fullcourt satellite TV package. The SoCon was one of just four conferences to have multiple teams appear on ESPN. More information on game time and television broadcast schedules can be found at espn.com or by checking www.etsubucs.com.

This TV was damaged in shipment, so I had to return it.

Written By CarolineR, Philadelphia, PA on Friday, February 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The TV is great. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The picture is very sharp and after some tweaking the colors are great too (the Eco Setting is pretty useless. It's really dim and washed out). The online features work great too. I would definitely buy this TV again from Crutchfield. Their customer service is great and 1 day standard delivery to the Philadelphia area is hard to beat! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Wow Written By tech challenged & middle aged, New York, NY on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Black Friday/cyber Monday deal for $449 and free shipping. Just traded up from our old 19" huge box TV which we've had for 22 years! Wow, what a difference! We weren't sure what size to get as we are in a 15'X 19' lounge/dining room combo New York City micro apartment, but this is perfect! Color, sound, and remote are great, haven't watched any of the movie stations, DVD works easily, and aesthetically, it is sooooo beautiful and streamlined. Hope it will last as long as the last TV and not become redundant too soon.Young friend set it up for us and it didn't seem to take very long. We also get more stations than we did before just from hooking up to the cable cord that comes out of the wall (we are too cheap to have cable TV!) Thank you Crutchfields. All from the comfort of my home and I didn't have to wait out in the cold with the Black Friday crazy people! :) 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I was hesitant to make such a big purchase online, but after reading the reviews and the black friday prices...I went for it. This TV is exactly what I expected and am extremely satisfied.

Yes No SO GOOD !! Written By Lee, ma on Monday, December 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I luv this tv . Great price so many uses. Was this review helpful? Yes No Solid choice Written By MikeD, Greenville, NC on Monday, December 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wasn't sure what to think with the true refresh rate at 60 Hz (but Samsung covering it up with its own terminology of refresh rate). But the specs, price, and other customer reviews left me feeling that it would be a winner. After 3 weeks, I'm not the least bit disappointed. Whatever Samsung is doing inside the TV to make action/sports look good is fine with me. I've watched all sorts of programming on this model and it's all great. I've used several apps (Pandora, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Blockbuster, several others) and they were easy to set-up and use. This smart TV "boots up" faster than a comparable Vizio smart TV that we have, and the interface is easier. Just wish I had a wireless keyboard like the Vizio remote has. I won't use the "web browser" on this TV. Not with a TV remote! Pros: Quality of picture on high-action scenes great for TV's price point; Apps and interface more refined than others I've seen; fast boot time; hard-to-find TV on/off timers (several!) on this set. Cons: No QWERTY keyboard on remote like Vizo smart TV; no analog audio out (only digital); stand is a bit flimsy and screws used to attach it to TV could be bigger to add stability 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Buy! Written By VickieS, Mission Viejo, Ca on Thursday, December 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This TV is almost perfect. Picture is great and sound is what I thought it would be for this type of TV. Actually I was planning to get a soundbar but for it. But really not needed unless you are going to watch alot of action and explosive type movies. This one is for our bedroom. As such I'm surprised no sleep timer on remote. Which is why I said almost perfect. It has a sleep timer but in a menu. Luckily I have another Samsung remote from a 20" TV and the sleep function works on this TV. Haven't used the smart features yet but everything connected really fast to our internet and updated just fine. Plan to explore all the apps soon. Right now just enjoying the beautiful picture! Pros: Great picture. Good sound. Nice looking. Starts up fast. Has Netfix, Youtube, etc. Easy set up. Cons: No sleep button on remote. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Almost Perfect Written By PeteA, New York, NY on Thursday, December 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am Very pleased with this TV. Picture quality is excellent, No complaints on sound quality or volume and I must say the interface is quite smooth and has the most pleasant menu sounds I've ever come across on any TV. My only gripe is with Samsung's misleading advertising. FYI Wifi Ready doesn't mean it has an integrated wireless adapter, it means that its compatible with any Samsung Wifi adaptor (Sold Separately.) I bought one so not a major complaint, but please be advises it does NOT come with Wifi adapter.

We bought this HDTV on Thanksgiving and appreciate the prompt delivery of crutchfield. Till now we have watched few HD movies and seen a couple of TV serials. It looks amazing. We have tested most of its features like HDMI connection, internet connectivity, USB connection and they all seem to be working fine except one - it didn't detect my 1TB USB hard-drive but it detects 8 GB USB drive.I don't know if this is its default behavior or the piece has some issue.. need to check..

Yes No Picture is fantastic, wireless internet Written By KyleD, mcminnville, tn on Friday, October 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just an amazing picture, this is not "edge lit" LEDs, it uses direct array LEDs, much superior (ohh the blacks) and uses way less electricity, $7/yr if left on for 5 hours a day/365. The direct array does make this set thicker than the razor's edge lit models. Wireless internet out of the box with a "limited" edition Safari browser. No Amazon Video app which doesn't bother me at all. Samsung also updates and adds new apps quite a bit. Crutchfield set me a version TH01. It came preloaded with zero apps which is great, add what you want. I got a ver HH02 from a different vendor, it came preloaded with 18 apps and they all want to update when you turn it on. I also noticed different default settings on these 2 versions. I favor the TH01 from Crutchfield. Also funny that the floor model at the other vendor was a TH01 but the ones in stock were all HH02. And I can carry it under my arm as the panel weighs only 20lbs, 24 with the stand (approx). Pros: Great if you get the right version which I got from Crutchfield, I got the "incorrect" version at another retailer. Deep blacks, viewing angle is just not a problem. The speakers use more watts than the panel. Cons: could be cheaper, no wall mounts included 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Review for the Samsung UN40EH5300 Written By RA, Atlanta Georgia on Thursday, September 27, 2012 Well I have this television for a little more than 2 months. I did adequate amount of research before settling down finally for this TV set. Let me tell you my experience with this. This TV has a pretty nice picture quality much like other LEDs clear and crispy, I have to make some specific settings for a clear picture (like use Dynamic mode instead of Standard for Blueray and HD material) and set the contrast and brightness to the right value. It starts and shuts off within no time, user friendly remote, easy to operate. All the set up was easy and you can quickly configure your dish satellite set top box or Roku. It has various internet apps which are easily accessible through its smart TV feature but mostly I use Youtube, Netflix and Skype very handy. If you buy a Samsung camera you can actually do a family video chat sitting on your couch through Skype. It provides good connectivity 3 HDMI port and 2 USB. You can connect an AV cable as well. The best part it it can read my 1TB external USB WD passport hard drive, really amazing. I have see many of Sony and LG tvs failing to read even 8gb of USB drive so that is definitely significant. I guess these are enough qualities to count on a considerable lesser price. Now under $600. Pros: 1) User friendly 2) Built in wi-fi, very easy to connect. No need to keep you TV near modem and router. You can place it where ever you want. 3) Good picture quality, natural output. Cons: 1) If you are too freak about the loud surround sound and high voice quality then probably this LED is not for you unless you have an external sound system. I will say that sound is ordinary with the sleek size its difficult to provide big speaks. However sound is clear and good enough for a 10-14 feet living room and also you can connect audio system to the Audio out port available at the back of the TV. I am using same and have connected Klipsch subwoofer and speaker set. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

We now own a Samsung laptop, a Samsung DVD player, and 2 Samsung flatscreen TV's. Evidently we like Samsung. We bought all these products based on consumer ratings, price, function and features. We've had the 40" flatscreen for about 2 weeks. The picture quality and the sound are excellent. It took about 5 minutes to set up and connect to our wireless router. What's not to like? Pros: Great picture, great sound, easy to set up, good price. Cons: The stand makes the TV sit slightly tilted back, which someone might not prefer. 6 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

If you have an older receiver, that can not switch composite in to component out and you have any components with only s-video or composite out then you are stuck with using the component in on the TV as AV/Composite.

I did considerable searching both online and at retail stores. For less half the money of the 32" flat LCD that my purchase replaced, I have a 40' smart LED / LCD --- that provides a great picture --- while fitting in the same space as my old LCD.

Samsung's Direct-Lit LED-LCD televisions feature LEDs positioned all the way across the LCD panel's back plane (instead of along the side). Unlike "Full-Array" backlight LED-LCD televisions that also feature LEDs positioned along the LCD panel's back plane, the Direct-Lit LED technology uses fewer LEDs and do not offer local dimming. Since there are fewer LEDs, the LCD panel's back plane must be moved farther away from the screen to provide adequate light coverage across the LCD panel, making the TV much deeper than an edge-lit LED-LCD television. Direct-Lit LED backlight technology offers a better picture and is more energy efficient than previous CCFL (fluorescent) LCD televisions, though it requires a much larger cabinet design than newer edge-lit LED-LCD TVs. Clear Motion Rate 120: Clear Motion Rate (CMR) is Samsung's more comprehensive and accurate measure for how well the LED-LCD TV can display fast-moving images. Previously, motion clarity was expressed simply by the refresh rate, measured in Hz. CMR, however, takes into account all three factors that contribute to motion clarity: panel refresh rate (60Hz), image processor speed and backlight technology. CMR is measured by determining the thinnest line a TV can display in a moving image. The thinner the line, the higher the CMR rating, and the clearer the picture you'll enjoy on the screen. LED Motion Plus: This function removes drag from fast scenes with a lot of movement to provide a clear picture. Motion Lighting: The TV automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen in response to the brightness of the room. In bright light, the screen brightens. In dim light, the screen dims. Wide Color Enhancer Plus: Wide Color Enhancer Plus allows you to see picture color the way the director originally intended. Witness the entire RGB spectrum brought to life on your screen to bring you exceptionally vibrant, yet natural-looking images faithful to the director's original intent. 3,500,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio: The LED-LCD TV delivers a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 3,500,000:1; which provides stunning colors and deep black, so your picture's details don't get lost in the shadows. HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals. 1080p Resolution: The LED-LCD television displays all inputs at a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080). The television's HDMI and component video inputs will accept 1080p (24/60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video signals. HDMI (v.1.3): The Samsung LED-LCD TV features three HDMI 1.3 inputs.

Film Mode: The TV can be set to automatically sense and process film signals from all sources and adjust the picture from optimum quality. Film mode is supported in TV, AV, Component (480i/1080i), and HDMI (480i/1080i).

Auto Volume: Auto Volume automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel, lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low. This reduces the difference in volume when changing channels. The Auto Volume feature can be set to Normal, Night or Off.

The Kartell Story
Based in Milan, Italy, Kartell was founded in 1949 by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli and his wife, architect Anna Castelli. Originally a producer of car accessories, it was Kartell's experimentation in plastics for the home that made them famous. Stylish home accessories and lighting dominated the 1950s, with the first injection-molded furniture emerging in the 1960s. Since then, the Kartell modern furniture line has only continued to grow, including contemporary chairs, tables, sofas and more--all made out of durable, lightweight and surprisingly comfortable plastic.

Exciting News for Smoked Meat Fans in Toronto
I have discovered the best smoked meat in Toronto and maybe anywhere. And I think the vast majority of you don't know anything about it yet. It's Goldin's Smoked Meat.
A couple of months ago, I saw a post on Chowhound claiming to be posted by the friend of a guy who is making and selling 'real-deal', Montreal smoked meat in Toronto. I was lucky enough to see the post before it was removed.
The post noted that people who want to buy should send an email to email@example.com, which I did.
I don't claim to be a deli expert like David Sax, Embee, Montrealer70 or some of the others on this board, but I have eaten a lot of smoked meat in my time. I've been to Schwartz's (too many times to count), the Main, Reuben's, Ben's, Smoked Meat Pete's, Snowdon Deli, Caplansky's, Centre Street Deli, Coleman's, Pancer's, Yitz's, Shopsy's, Pickle Barrel, Marky's, Carnegie, the Stage, etc. etc.
I lived and went to school in Montreal between 1990 and 1995, and I consumed a lot of smoked meat during that period. Also, I've been going to delis in TO since I was weaned.
I have to say that the smoked meat I had last night was some of the best I've ever had.
I emailed the guy for a 1.5 pound piece of smoked meat. It came vac-packed in heavy duty plastic. On the side was written, "1.5 lb, Medium", exactly as ordered. I noticed that the piece I got was the deckle. In the bag, the meat was covered with whole and crushed spices, similar to how the briskets look in the south window at Schwartz's.
It came with a sheet of paper with a description and instructions. The instructions were to boil the bag for 3 hours, drain the bag (be careful not to burn yourself!!), then slice thinly against the grain. The flip side of the instructions noted that the meat is marinated for two weeks in spices then smoked over hardwood. It is available in various sizes and in degrees of fattiness (lean, medium, or fatty). It also notes that organic briskets are available.
When we finished boiling the bag, we cut a small hole in the bag and drained a cup or two of liquid that was not in the bag prior to boiling. When the meat fell out onto the cutting board, I knew immediately that it was something special. The smell was unbelievable. Spices were falling off onto the board with some juice, but the meat still had a thick layer of spices. I'm sure there were peppercorns, fennel seed, garlic, salt, but I'm not sure what else.
When I started slicing I couldn't believe how tender the meat was. It was beautifully marbled and the fat was meltingly soft. In some areas, the meat was breaking apart into tender, red shards of juicy smoked meat.
We piled it high on rye bread and put on some spicy mustard. I took a bite and immediately said, "Oh my god - this is it". I felt like I was sitting at the counter at Schwartz's. My wife started laughing because I must have said, "oh my god" about 50 times before I finished the sandwich.
This was either as good as, or better than Schwartz's. It is salty (maybe a tiny bit too salty), spicy, tender, meltingly fatty, perfectly cooked, and all around delicious.
It is not "Toronto's Own" smoked meat, like Caplansky's, it is real honest to goodness Montreal smoked meat that is perhaps better than even Schwartz's.
I have to say that his product won't be for everyone. Although it's very easy to prepare and requires only boiling in the bag, it does take three hours.
Again, you can reach him at email@example.com.
re: pinstripeprincess
Totally reasonable. $10 per pound uncooked. Quite a bit of shrinkage during cooking, however. It's worth every penny.
I have eaten enough Schwartz's in my time to recognize it :-)
He makes it himself. It seems like he got quite a skill and he's looking to make a go of his smoked meat business.
re: acd123
good to know! i think the schwartz's is $11/lb and even then that's a total gamble. the last time i had someone bring one back and they specified medium... dear lord it was so lean, lacking in smoke, and salty that we threw most of it a way. a total and utter shame.
re: duckdown
I got the meat the day after I placed the order. I think he lives close by so he dropped it off at my house. I don't think he would do that if you're not in his neighbourhood. You would probably have to pick it up, at his house perhaps.
I paid cash.
I just have to say again that his meat is abosultely amazing. My wife and I have another piece in the freezer and we can't wait to devour it.
I plan on buying several hundred pounds (or more) of smoked meat from him (Alex) over the next several decades. I want him to do well so that he keeps on doing it. The downside of posting this info is that if everybody loves his stuff, there may be a shortage and I won't be able to get any :-)
re: acd123
Ah, that was also what I wanted to know... pickup or dropoff would be ideal ( i dont mind picking it up ).. shipping the meat through a parcel service could be difficult
I emailed him but I haven't gotten a response, sadly
I'll probably buy two 1.5lb pieces
What did the 1.5lb piece shrink into? How many sandwiches roughly, 3-4 ?
re: duckdown
the 1.5lb piece shrunk to 3 sandwiches, or 4 sandwiches if you like them less piled up, which we do not.
re: acd123
Yeah I like them really stacked high
the only other person in my house that enjoys the meat would be my Pops, so 1.5lb pieces sound about right so they don't go to waste
Thanks bud
re: jayt90
Folks, we've removed a number of replies to this. Whether you think health inspections are necessary or important is off topic for this board. As a general rule, all discussion of health inspection results, food poisoning incidents, etc, is considered off topic, but we're going to allow this question since there seems to be some question of whether it's inspected at all.
If you know what name/address Goldin's is inspected under please post that info, so that people who are concerned can check it out on DineSafe for themselves. Opinions on whether or not this is a valid concern are off topic, and will be removed.
- The original comment has been removed

PAD, Star Wars and Heart Attacks in the Leg!
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)the hardening or narrowing
of leg arteriesis like having a slow, continuous,
painful heart attack in the leg. It happens when plaque
accumulates in the leg arteries, blocking blood flow.
This can lead to ulcers (wounds that dont heal), gangrene
(tissue death)even loss of the leg. People with
diabetes or hypertension, smokers and those who are
obese are at high risk for PAD.
Bridgeport Hospital has a new tool for treating PAD
and while its not quite like the weapons in Star Wars,
it is quite amazing. The Spectranetic CVX-300 Excimer
Laser System uses Cool Laser Revascularization for
peripheral artery therapy. Heres how it works: A flexible
fiberoptic laser, inserted into the artery through a
catheter, is threaded to the blockage site. Transmitting
short bursts of cool ultraviolet energy, the laser moves
slowly through the blockage at a rate of one millimeter
per second, vaporizing the plaque and the blood clot as
it goes. Once the blockage is cleared, the fiberoptic laser
is withdrawn and X-ray contrast dye is injected through
the catheter into the blood vessel, giving the physician
a good image of the results of the procedure.
So for those who suffer from peripheral artery disease
at Bridgeport Hospital, the force may be with you!
New American Heart Association
Guidelines for Women
The 2007 Guidelines for Preventing Cardiovascular
Disease in Women were announced in the March 20
issue of the American Heart Association journal
Circulation. The recommendations focus on a womans
lifetime risk for heart disease and stroke. They emphasize
the importance of aggressively changing lifestyles
to reduce the overall risk of a cardiac event. There are
new recommendations on aspirin, hormone replacement
therapy, vitamin supplements, diet and exercise.
Highlights of the New
Recommendations for Women
Know if you are at risk. Talk to your doctor about
your heart disease risk. Seek aggressive treatment if you
have risk factors that can be modified, such as high
cholesterol, high blood pressure or smoking. Lifestyle
changes and medication may be needed. Develop strategies
and work closely with your physician to combat these
modifiable risk factors.
Aspirin. If you do not have established heart disease,
you should not take aspirin for the sole purpose of
preventing heart disease or stroke, unless your physician
specifically recommends that you do so.
If you do have established heart disease, or are over age
65, your physician will routinely prescribe preventive
daily aspirin (unless you are allergic to it).
Exercise. Exercise at a moderate to vigorous pace for
30 minutes a day on most days of the weekand up
to 90 minutes a day if you need to lose weight. Most
women dont get anywhere near this amount of exercise
yet exercise is key to preventing heart disease
and controlling your weight.
Vitamins and supplements. Women with heart disease
should take daily doses (8501000mg) of two important
fatty acids: omega3 (Eicosapentaenoic Acid, or EPA) and
omega6 (Docosahexaenoic Acid, or DHA). All women
should eat 1012 ounces of oily fish each week to obtain
a natural source of omega3 and omega6.
Although antioxidant supplements such as vitamins E,
C and betacarotene can be beneficial to your overall
health, do not take them solely to prevent a cardiac
event. Also, folic acid has not been shown to prevent
heart attacks and should not be taken in doses larger
than the 400mcg per day found in most multivitamins.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT and
selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS) are
not recommended to prevent heart disease in women.
Depression. All women with established heart disease are
urged to be screened for depression, and to be treated if
depression is diagnosed. Depression is treatable!
Diet. Most of the 2007 recommendations are familiar,
but there is one change.
These new recommendations for women require aggressive
lifestyle changes. Women are becoming increasingly aware
of the risks of heart disease. It is now time to turn that
knowledge into action by making changes before you are
stricken with heart disease or a stroke.

Unless he threw a brick into your TV. That's ****ed up.
Unless he threw a brick into your TV. That's ****ed up.
New epic rap battle has Snoop Whatever as Moses.
1. He is a compulsive liar. He almost never stops lying. The lies range anywhere from important lies to things that nobody would even think to lie about. He lied about being a QB in HS like anyone cares and like anyone would believe him. He is 5'7 130 soaking wet. GTFO. Hes lied about girls he had supposedly been with. He lied about being at some Playboy party because he supposedly knew one the girls. This one got him on my **** list early because he essentially robbed $150 from me and $80 from my other roommate. With me, he suggested we should buy a projector instead of a big TV for the living room. I thought it sounded like a good idea so I looked it up and found a good one for $230. That adds up to roughly $75 a person. I told Mike and he said he was good for it and he would ask my other roommate if he was good for it. I went out somewhere and when I got back he said he talked to Ethan and he had agreed to it too so I should order it. I was an ass and got it because Im honestly not used to people's word meaning zilch. Well turns out Ethan never agreed to it and then to top it off Mike never pays me a cent for his share. Good times. The ****ed up thing is that Ethan didnt even want to get the projector and didnt rightfully owe me anything and ended up paying me for it anyway because he liked it. Hes a good dude.
That brings me to all the lies he told about why he couldnt get us the money. I cant even count them on two hands. The reason we were so trusting of him at first is because he clearly comes from money. He brags about it t other people. He drives a Charger. But for whatever reason he always has money when he wants to do something but never has any money when we ask.
2. This brings me to my next point. Hes a spoiled ass brat. I dont care if your parents are well off. Thats nice. Im glad you have nice things. My parents arent poor either. I have some nice things. Its whatever. But it gets obnoxious when every time someone is in your apartment Mike feels the need to brag about his things. Numerous times he has randomly pointed out that the X-Box is his and showed off all his games. I remember once Ethan had a few girls over and Mike went and got his Macbook randomly and just went and asked if they liked his macbook. He would brag about how he brought the couches. He basically made it sound like we were helpless poors and its a good thing he lived there whenever we had people over. My blood is boiling typing this.
3. He is a kleptomaniac. It was a running joke between me, Ethan and our friends about how many things Mike "found". He "found" a kindle hat someone supposedly threw away into the trash that was perfectly normal and functional. He sold it we believe. He "found" a mini fridge that had no problems at all. Not even one speck of rust. We got him to admit he saw it defrosting outside someone's place on campus. He woke me up one day to show me a phone he found o the road. I suggested he call someone in the recent calls section. He said too late. He already threw away the SIM card and was going to sell it. Ethan was telling me about how Mike was bragging about a keg him and some other guy stole from a brewery or something. Might have just been him lying to sound cool though. He "found" an Abnormal Psych text book that he sold to the book store the first week of classes. We are pretty sure he found it in the Library unattended. It was an upper level text book so you know it was expensive.
oh yeah, and he more or less stole $150 from me, but lets not rehash that, lest I break something.
4. Despite all this, his was a holier than thou, pious Christian. Now I have no beef with religious people. At all. My parents are deeply religious. Most of my friends are religious. I dont care. When I start to care is when youre a piece of **** thief and liar, yet feel the need to go behind mine and Ethan's back telling people how we arent Christians (even though Ethan is) and trying to make it sound like we are the ones who dont have morals. Look bud, I didnt steal **** from anyone. STFU. And I sure as hell dont want to get into religious arguments with people like that. Or anyoe at all for that matter. I dont discuss it in real life 99% of the time. And if im going to sit down and have someone preach at me, at least let it be someone with a slight bit of personal integrity and moral fiber. Oh, he also believes Obama is ordained by God so that the rapture can now happen and Obama be the anti christ or something along those lines. I suppose its a good thing nobody likes Mike and everything he ever said behind our backs went right back to us. Which leads me to point #5.
5. Nobody likes this mother****er. Nobody. Ethan is some sort of wizard with women and a the beginning of the year we constantly had multiple girls in our place any given time. Eventually just about every single one of them got creeped out by Mike and stopped coming to hang out unless he wasnt there. Ive met multiple people, especially females, this semester who said they felt terrible for me when they found out Im living with Mike. Quite a reputation he has built in a few short months.
6. He can never accept responsibility for anything. Its impossible to keep track of the reasons he gave us for why he didnt have to pay us back.Anywhere from "you didnt say when I had to pay you back" to "I brought the X-Box" to my personal favorite, and the one that made me come within a hair or jumping up and stabbing him to death, "do you have it in writing?".
**** him. I actually hate him more after typing that. Hope this explains it. Im sure Im missing something. This guy is the first roommate Ive ever had a problem with. Really one of the first people in general Ive disliked this strongly.
Other than that, we were cool.

I sympathize with this whole post of yours. I've never had a roommate quite like this but oh do I ever. They always say that if you don't have a ****ty roommate, you're the ****ty roommate.
Suffice to say I've never had to wonder who the ****ty roommate is.
For reference, Ive been called a walking xanax because I am calm and care free 99.9% of the time. I have friends that Ive known for ages that have never seen me flip out. I have a long ass fuse and it takes work to get me to blow. Somehow Mike is one of the few people on planet Earth that has successfully reached the end of the fuse and he did it in record time.
And I wish it was Dovahkiin. Dovah would never let himself be known as someone who is unreliable with money. Dovah would have paid me back the next day.
It just pisses me off that there are people like that. Where Im from is a small small island. When someone owes you something, you know youre getting it because reputation is huge there. You can't live on a 2 x 0.5 mile island, screw people over, and expect your life to not be miserable. I guess its different when you are somewhere where a very small percentage of the population even knows you exist. Just not enough penalty for being a doucher. I trusted someone and got burned. Lesson learned.

July 23rd is National Hot Dog Day. So while you ponder the universal question of whether a hot dog is or isn't a sandwich, enjoy these facts about Oscar Mayer's Wienermobile.
- Vanity plates for the Wienermobile have included: YUMMY, OUR DOG, BIG BUN, LIL LINK, OH I WISH, WEENR, WNR MBLE, and BOLOGNA.
- The job title for the driver of the Wienermobile is called "hot dogger."
- The horn of the vehicle can play the Wiener Jingle in 21 different genres from Cajun to Rap.
- In 2009 the Wienermobile was inadvertently turned down a dead end street and when the driver (or hot dogger) tried to turn around in a driveway she failed to put the vehicle in reverse and crashed it into a house. The fact that no one was injured makes me comfortable with the fact that the picture below caused me to giggle.
Speaking of hot dogs, the 25th Annual Bix Porch Party is August 2nd at 11 a.m. and in addition to hot dogs and lemonade, LIVE jazz music is on the menu as Don Estes and the Prairie Ramblers play on the porch of the Main Library (321 Main Street.) This is always a fun, family-oriented event and we hope to see you here.
