Mightier Than the Sword: Uncle Tom's Cabin and the Battle for America by David S. Reynolds
As the obsolescence and even the demise of the book are widely foretold, it is all the more important -- and comforting -- to recognize how a book can change the world. It is hard to think of many that have done so more emphatically than Uncle Tom's Cabin. Lincoln is famously said to have greeted...
Potato: A History of the Propitious Esculent by John Reader
There is no more tragic vegetable than the potato. Originating in the Peruvian Andes, it was first domesticated by the Quechua-speaking peoples, who could not help but become reliant on a highly nutritional foodstuff that could be grown in large quantities on small plots in regions inhospitable to...
Dead Funny: Humor in Hitler's Germany by Rudolph Herzog
Perhaps in response to the events of September 11, and the subsequent decade of terror attacks and the media spectacles made out of them, we seem desperate now to laugh. Mainstream comedy films often demolish box office records while movies that delve into the more tenebrous realities of existence...
Retromania Signed Edition by Simon Reynolds
"Who wants yesterday's papers?" sang Mick Jagger in 1967. "Who wants yesterday's girl?" The answer, in the Swinging 60s, was obvious: "Nobody in the world." That was then. Now we seem to want nothing more than to read yesterday's papers and carry on with yesterday's girl. Popular culture has become ...
Intellectuals Incorporated: Politics, Art, and Ideas Inside Henry Luce's Media Empire (Politics and Culture in Modern America) by Robert Vanderlan
Circles are integral to the romance of intellectual history, and magazines are integral to the history of intellectual circles. The New York intellectuals had Partisan Review and Commentary; T.S. Eliot created The Criterion and Sartre created Les Temps Modernes; Moscow's intellectuals had Novy Mir...
Druggist of Auschwitz by Dieter Schlesak
In the spring of 2002, with the September 11 attacks not far in the past and the Second Intifada still ongoing, New York magazine published a remarkable story by Amy Wilentz heralding the revival of Jewish fear. What made the piece especially memorable is that while all the concrete fears Wilentz...
The Sea: A Cultural History by John Mack
The most unfortunate feature of John Mack's new book is its subtitle. I can only hope that "A Cultural History" was the work of an editorial assistant who feared that Mack's effort would be sequestered on a shelf of academic or scientific tomes unless some popular tag were attached. Since cultural...
No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf by Carolyn Burke
Daffy Duck, plotting giddily to out-maneuver Bugs Bunny, takes a crowbar to the signs announcing "Duck Season Open" in the establishing scene of Chuck Jones's great Looney Tunes cartoon Duck! Rabbit, Duck! Our cue to the futility of the scheme, the detail that makes Daffy's cluelessness apparent...
The Long Night: William L. Shirer and the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Steve Wick
William L. Shirer, born in 1904, was one of the twentieth century's great reporters.

Kristi Michele at Festivals
Kristi Michele is like a rainbow comprised of all the colors left over from many a rainy day. British folk, Broadway show tunes, Brill-Building pop, gypsy jazz, cabaret, and psychedelia are each influences on her songs, sometimes gentle folk ditties accompanied by a plucked acoustic guitar, other times vocal melodies layered as sweetly as tiramisu and set to Ragtime piano. Whatever the package, her songs evoke a time gone by. Her voice has the nostalgic quality of a vintage chanteuse Read more on Last.fm.

Book Review: LINUX Web Server Toolkit
Author: Nicholas Wells
Publishers: IDG Books Worldwide, Inc.
URL: http://www.idgbooks.com/
Price: $39.99 US
Reviewer: Keith P. de Solla
The LINUX Web Server Toolkit takes the reader completely through the procedure of building a web server, from planning to disaster recovery. The book comes with a CD containing Linux, Apache and a multitude of scripts and programs. The copy I received came with Caldera OpenLinux Lite, but I have seen bookstore copies with Red Hat Linux. This book provides a reasonable overview of all issues involved with setting up a web server. It cannot, of course, cover topics in the same level of detail as books such as O'Reilly's Apache, but it was not meant to do so.
The author assumes the reader has access to a computer, but does not assume detailed knowledge of Linux, web servers or the Internet. A novice should be able to use the information in this book to set up a web server, and an experienced user will also find information of value.
The 21 chapters are grouped into four parts: planning, installation, maintenance and adding advanced features to your web server.
Chapters 1 and 2 discuss non-technical issues related to creating a web site for a business and provide some background technical information for novices. Chapter 3 sells Linux as the choice platform for a web server, followed by a discussion of UNIX and Internet terminology in Chapter 4. Part I can be skimmed (or skipped) by more advanced users.
Chapter 5 reviews hardware requirements, then takes the reader through the steps of installing Linux. As I had no need to install an older version of Linux, I did not install anything from the CD. The book is not a replacement for a detailed installation guide, but does provide sufficient information so that a novice can install the software. While sparse (nine pages), the section on configuring XFree86 is quite well-written and should get most people through the "fun" of creating an XF86Config file. However, it does not provide a troubleshooting guide, so users with non-standard or "problem" hardware will need to read the HOWTOs and Release Notes. One important item missing is a warning that probing the video hardware may hang the computer. Novices need to know this, especially after learning that driving the monitor at too high a frequency can damage it. A brief discussion on network configuration follows.
Chapter 6 takes the user through installation and setup of both Apache and Netscape FastTrack web servers. FastTrack is a commercial product not included on the CD. Finally, Chapter 7 builds on the basic terminology of Chapter 3 and looks at connecting to the Internet in more detail. Over 90 pages cover everything from "what being connected means" to setting up DNS. The emphasis is on the requirements and available options for setting up a commercial web server.
Business issues such as advertising, search engines and gathering data are discussed briefly in Chapter 8; readers setting up personal web sites can skip it. Basic HTML is covered in Chapter 9, but not in any great depth. URLs are provided for HTML authoring tools and other information, but enough detail exists to allow a novice to create basic pages with tables, links and graphics. This information is expanded in Chapter 10 to include web site scripts and forms.
The rest of Part III (Chapters 11 to 14) covers configuration of the web server, additional services and collecting statistics. Chapter 11 is specific to Apache and provides a thorough overview, but the material is rather dated. (Apache v1.1.1 is included on the CD.) If you intend to set up a web server, I advise purchasing the O'Reilly book on Apache and visiting these web sites: http://www.apache.org/ and http:/www.apacheweek.com/.
As most people seem to be using Apache, I skipped Chapter 12 which describes configuring Netscape's Fastrack server. Chapter 13 discusses the pros and cons of web site statistics and provides URLs for web server statistical tools. Finally, Chapter 14 covers additional services such as FTP, e-mail, gopher and WAIS.

Development chef
A development chef is a trained chef specialising in the development of new dishes or food products.
With food companies, this type of chef is often responsible for the creating of new pre-prepared meals and food products. Within the health care, the chef is often responsible for the development of variations of the mainstream meals, to fit in the different types of diets while still having an appetizing meal. Individual restaurant seldom have a development chef but restaurant chains often do. Here the chef is typically responsible for designing the dish and ensuring that the local kitchen staff can create/prepare the dish to an exact standard.
Development chefs need sufficient training in Culinary arts, experimental food methods and food science plus sufficient experience in actual preparing of dishes. This makes that a development chef in most cases has a background as a professional chef.

Como and it's beautiful lake
... with lovely iron work and old lights and evidence of meandering paths and gardens. He loves this kind of thing - seeing how it would have been. Along with this and the mechanics of the funicular he was in 7th heaven looking at it all and snapping some photos along the way.
Back down and we wandered around Como looking at the many old billboard photos of the town from the late 1800's, early 1900's. And once again we loved seeing these ...
Day trip to Como
Steve and I did another chunk of the Greenway after positioning the car in Lenno near the ferry, which we intend to return to later this evening after our day trip to Como. The path elevated steeply beyond Lenno, good training for our Camino. After a crazy full bus ride along narrow streets we finally arrived in Como..... nearly in one piece except for a few frayed nerves and ...
The lighthouse
Again Barbara put on a beautiful spread for breakfast. She also had a cake that is special to Como. Can't remember the name but it was really good.
We decided we would go up the funicular this morning then walk to the lighthouse before it got too hot. Today was again meant to be about 36. The town above Como is called Brunate. It is just a little village with a few shops. There are plenty of walking paths up here and lots of people bike up the hill and down. The funicular ...
Bellagio by lake and Como by road
Been very busy last couple of days - just had time to catch up and I am a few days behind. We drove up to the local car ferry in Trezzamo The ferry was quick, we drove on and sat on the top deck for 10 minutes. When we arrived in Bellagio we had a lovely relaxing look round and a little shopping trip. We sat in the Hotel Du Lac ...
Fantastic and beautiful place
... different foods and even a type of supermarket and liquor! Any case had a coffee as we weren't hungry after having our breakfast at the Michelangelo.
Back on the coach and onto Lake Maggiore. What a beautiful place and the hotel we are in "La Palma" which is overlooking the lake. We have a beautiful room with single beds pushed together for a bed (enormous) and a stunning view over the lake from our balcony.
Antonia took us into Stresa which ...

Product Review: The JumpSnapby Body Beauty
When it comes to a challenge, unless it's illegal or immoral, I'm pretty much willing to accept it.
So, a little over a month ago, after reading my article, featuring the JumpSnap, the jump rope without a rope, Brad LaTour of JumpSnap challenged me to actually give the JumpSnap a try. I was happy to do so and rose to the challenge. After all, what's the worst that could happen? I'd exercise more?
One trial month later, I have to say, it isn't all that bad! But it isn't all that good either. What I mean to say is that I wasn't 100% satisfied. Still, I did see potential in the JumpSnap and believe with a few minor changes I could find myself appreciating this exercise tool and using it on a frequent basis. read more »

Invention Video: The 3000+ Inventions of Dr. NakaMatsby Michelle
Dr. Yoshiro NakaMats has shattered the world record for most patents held that was formerly held by Thomas Edison. He currently holds over 3000 patents and is Japan's most prolific inventors. One of this most influential inventions was the floppy disk, which he invented when he was 23 years old as a student.
BBC's series "Adam and Joe go Tokyo", interviews Dr. NakaMats. Adam and Joe Go Tokyo was a eight episode series that was aired on BBC Three and BBC One in 2003. The show was originally rumoured to be called Asian Invasion, and showed Adam and Joe looking at Japanese culture, music, meeting famous Japanese people and unforgettably trying to become famous in eight weeks.
This invention video is an amusing and fascinating opportunity to see Dr. NakaMats, one of the most prolific inventors of all time, show off a few of his inventions. I wonder how sales for his Love Spray is doing. You can learn more about Dr. NakaMats on his website Dr.Nakamats.com
The video is about 6 minutes long. Enjoy. read more »

11 Alarm Clocks to Wake the Living Deadby Kavita Mathur
Do you hate your alarm clock? The snooze button is one of my favorite things. Whoever invented the snooze button must surely be the most popular guy in the Land of The Living Lazies! I mean imagine the alarm clock ringing at an unearthly hour in the morning and all you have to do is press the snooze button. Uninterrupted sleep for another 5-10 minutes! Ahh... a few minutes more of precious sleep.

Yellow Pages Booster Seatby Mia Levine
When I was a kid, I remember every Thanksgiving following my uncle into the hallway so he could retrieve the phone book from his closet.
He would hold it high above his head, shuffle to the table, and with a flourish, place it firmly on the black vinyl dining room seat.
Reluctantly, I re-lived that glorious holiday again when I came across Boost, the Yellow Pages booster seat. read more »

The Dark Knight

Re: The Dark Knight
I had a nearly overwhelming urge to laugh at the movie by the end. But then, I wasn't so blown away by poor old Heath Ledger's performance I wasn't painfully aware of how preposterous the Joker's plots were. How sad that an actor who had already done so much will be remembered for
Joker as terrorist was pretentious nonsense. As explained very clearly above, Two-Face as a character was nonsense, sold only by Aaron Eckhart's truly amazing performance, a far more impressive (and essential to the movie) achievement than Ledger's. Whole segments of the movie are pointless or bungled.
And the action scenes sucked. They were incomprehensible, except when you realize that many of the cuts were so you
wouldn't see
Batman lumbering around in his costume. In retrospect, the movie can only appeal to people who enjoy seeing a Bat vehicle pointlessly but repeatedly slam through walls, without wondering how none of the explosives are detonate or the aiming/firing mechanisms damaged.
I think the particular kind of badness in Dark Knight is shown most clearly in the ferry scene. No one on the ferries has any good reason to believe the Joker is a man of his word. But everyone is written as believing perfect nonsense so the movie can pose a fake dramatic choice, supposedly with existential implications, no less!
The people of this country need regime change here, not abroad.

T-Mobile Phones Home, Again
It was right about a year and a half ago that we first learned of Google's plans to enter the mobile phone market. While everyone expected it would be a full-fledged handset — the Googlephone — we quickly learned it would instead be a mobile operating system, the now well known Android. Just under a year ago, the first of the Googlephones, T-Mobile's Android-powered G1, was rolled out — literally — by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, on rollerblades, no less. Now it's time for T-Mobile to add more to the fold: the recently announced myTouch.
The G1 is hardly the only Android phone on the market — a number of companies have taken up Android, including G1 manufacturer HTC, which produced the "Magic" or Google Ion. According to reports, the myTouch, announced this week, is "essentially" the same phone as the Magic/Ion, and like the G1 before it, will go up against Apple's latest iPhone, the 3G S. The T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google is lighter than its predecessor, a reported six hours of battery life, and will come in a designer "Merlot" color as well as the less chic black and white.
The feature — or rather, lack thereof — drawing the most attention, however, is the departure from the physical keyboard considered a strong selling feature of the G1. Though some later complained that the keyboard was difficult to use, at the time it was released, it was considered an important inclusion, given the distaste many have expressed for the iPhone's on-screen keyboard. Palm's recently-released Pre — also a Linux-based phone, though not Android — incorporates a BlackBerry-like physical keyboard, though it's tiny keys and lack of any sort of T9-style predictive text have drawn criticism from some heavy users.
While the myTouch does dispense with the physical keyboard, it's "soft" keyboard includes vibrating "keys" to provide some tactile response to key presses, as well as predictive text. The phone's other specifications are as yet unknown, though the more psychically-inclined at Wired predict they will be similar if not identical to the Magic/Ion, including the G1's 3.2MP camera and the much bemoaned specialty headphone jack.
Unlike AT&T, which drew a firestorm of criticism for refusing to allow existing customers to upgrade to the iPhone 3G S at the subsidized price offered to new customers, T-Mobile customers will be able to pre-order the myTouch on July 8, a full month before it will be shipped or offered to new subscribers. The same tact was applied to the G1, which was rolled out to existing customers in select 3G-equipped cities before being made available to new subscriptions. Pricing for the upgrade has yet to be announced, though the company expects some 50%+ of myTouch buyers to be existing subscribers.

G2 / Magic
I've had one for 4 weeks now in the UK.
I was sceptical about the soft keyboard but when you use it it is very good.
The interface is not quite as smooth as the iPhone BUT the sense of freedom is all over the phone.
The SDK installs in moments for free and you can develop ANYTHING YOU WANT without having to ask permission from Mr. Jobs.
The app stope has all the big numbers: ssh, vnc, skymap (AWESOME)
For the first time in 12 years I have a phone in my pocket that I love.
By Christmas there will be many Android phones, the competition can only make them better.
Ubuntu will support Android - where will it end?
