by Anti-Racist Parent columnist Margie Perscheid, originally published at Third Mom
I have a little pendant that I've worn for many years. It's tiny thing, a little gold filigree oval with the word ???, omoni, which is Korean for mother, in the center. I don't remember where I bought it, from an online store I think. But I do remember that I fell in love with it when I saw it. I wore it because it reminded me of the most important role in my life, being a mom to my children.
Never, as I wore it, did it occur to me that I might be crossing the line between cultural respect and appropriation. Believe me, I've crossed that line, mostly unknowingly, but I try to be sensitive to it. I just didn't think in cultural terms when I wore this pendant, I thought in terms of the fact that omoni is the Korean word for the most important role of my life.
It goes to show that even when we think we "get it," we may miss the mark by a mile. I certainly did. A post at Sang-Shil's that I read is what pulled me up short. Go read, and come back.
My husband and and I never have asked our kids to call us appa or umma – I want to make that clear because wearing my pendant was never about that. The point is that it was about me – my thoughts and my ideas on how to respect and honor their culture. In honesty, I didn't question for a moment that my kids or any other Korean adoptees might find it odd, uncomfortable or offensive to see a white woman wearing a pendant proclaiming herself omoni. I wore this little pendant for close to fifteen years because it made me feel good – proud and sentimental, too. I also believed my children would see it as a sign of love and respect for them, as well as their culture, people and language.
I failed, however, to see the obvious, which is that I'm not omoni – my children have omoni in Korea. Those omoni have missed an entire lifetime of being mom to these amazing kids. While I've had the joy of watching them grow up, they have had to bury their pain in wondering. The very, very least I can do is give them, and my children's aboji, their rightful titles.
This changes nothing about the relationship I have with my kids – I'm mom, we love each other as deeply as people can, and I'll be there for them as long as I'm alive. I think, actually, that respecting the people who gave my children life makes our relationship that much stronger.
And so I've put the little pendant away – I won't be wearing it anymore. I thought about sending it to Korea for my son's mother, as I bought it when he was very small. But I think instead I'll give it to my daughter. Perhaps she'll wear it someday, when she's an omoni herself. Or maybe, if she is fortunate enough to find her omoni, she'll choose to give it to her.
Somehow that feels right.

Hi there - thanks so much to everyone for all these helpful posts. I was hoping someone might be able to advise me on what peacoat would fit me best.
I'm 135 lbs and 5' 7 3/4", which puts me right between "short" and "regular." My chest measures about 34.5" or 35" at the widest point (just under the armpits) and 34" over the nipples.
I live in NYC so the coat needs to fit over a sweater.
Based on this, do you think a size 34R vintage Navy peacoat would fit me, or is likely to be too long in the sleeves and overall length (given my height) and too boxy (given my slender build)? Is it even possible to find coats in this size? It seems like 36 is the smallest commonly-available size.
If you don't think a Navy peacoat would fit me well, would there be a better option? My experience is that my size is generally not compatible with most retailers' standard sizes, and as a grad student, my budget is fairly limited, which is why a spending $100 or less for a vintage coat is an appealing option.
Updated to add: should I jump on this one, given that size 34 coats seem few and far between?
Ask Gary to do two things for you. Measure the actual pit to pit, and to hold the coat at an angle to a strong light to check for moth tracking or other damage.
A standard size 34 should measure about 18.5". However, I have found a lot of variance in the pit to pit sizes on the smaller sizes. I have three size 34s, two vintage and one current issue (1980). They all measure an even 19" p2p, which equates to a large 34 or small 36.
Oh, and welcome to the Forum.
Thanks for the info. Gary told me that the p2p is 19" on the 34R coat. Does that mean that it will likely be too large on me, given my chest size of about 34.5"?
And if so, what is my best alternative? Am I simply a peacoat-incompatible size?

Eunomius, (born c. 335, Cappadocia, Asia Minor—died c. 394, Dakora, Cappadocia), extreme proponent of Arianism. With the Arian philosopher and bishop Aëtius, he established the Eunomian sect (see Anomoean), which, although it had an ecclesiastical organization (centred on Constantinople) and several bishops, did not long survive Eunomius.
After serving as secretary to Aëtius in Alexandria, Eunomius accompanied him to Antioch and was ordained deacon there. In 360 or later he was made bishop of Cyzicus in Mysia but soon was deposed because of his teachings. Although his views were initially sustained in a conference at Sirmium in 357, he jeopardized his position by his extremism, particularly in his endorsement of the semi-Arianism of Bishop Macedonius of Constantinople. Eunomius' doctrines were attacked by St. Basil and were finally condemned by the Council of Constantinople in 381; he was forced to spend his last years in retirement on his family estate. Most of the extensive writings of Eunomius were burned in 398 at the order of the emperor Arcadius, but enough of his work remains to show the hairsplitting subtlety of his mind.

Just received my first Indochino suit and shirt. Wondering if I could get some feedback on the fit. Jacket sleeves are 3/4-1 inch too short (is there enough material built into these suits to let it out that much?). Not sure what to do about the 'wrinkling / bunching' on the suit sleeves? Overall I think the suit could be more shapely, but I am unsure on how to ask for this.
Please let me know what to ask indochino / my tailor to do.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hem the pants, a little longer on the jacket sleeves, and stand up straight.

After speculation that Yahoo's ousted chief operating officer Henrique De Castro walked away with a millions-of-dollars wad of cash, the truth is finally out thanks to a SEC filing.
Confirming all rumors, De Castro left the company with a $57.96 million severance, according to the filing (PDF), which was made public on Wednesday. The filing breaks down the million-dollar figure into cash, restricted stock units that grow over time, stock options, and "make-whole" compensation payments.
The company writes that De Castro's "make-whole" figure was high -- the numbers went from $12.12 million at hire to $31.18 million at employment termination -- because Yahoo has seen an increase in share prices.
"The major component of Mr. de Castro's severance benefits," the filing says, "involved the acceleration of his make-whole arrangement, the value of which increased substantially following the date of his hire as a result of the significant appreciation in our stock price."
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer handed De Castro a pink slip in January after just 15 months of work. His departure was long-rumored, with reports that he was a polarizing figure and .
"I made the difficult decision that our COO, Henrique de Castro, should leave the company," she wrote in an explanatory memo to her staff in January. "I appreciate Henrique's contributions and wish him the best in his future endeavors."

He holds all the cards
On the Mark — By Craig Marks
Happy LeBron Day IV.
On June 19, 2010, Akron held a day to honor hometown superstar LeBron James. And while some say it was a one-time event, designed to push James toward staying with the Cleveland Cavaliers (how'd that work out?), others know the truth. It was the beginning of an annual holiday.
As we do every year, let's check out the poetry found on this year's batch of LeBron Day cards. Get your hankies ready:
You give bicycles
To Akron kids
So it's hard to stay Huffy
That you left like you did
We'd never miss a wedding
And yours is no exception
Just tell us at which party center
You'll be holding the reception
Dan Gilbert is no fan of bikes
Unlike you and friend Dwayne Wade
Though he's spent much time backpedaling
Over that nasty tweet he made
You'll help design St. Vincent-St. Mary's new court
I hope you'll tell the planners
To make the ceiling extra large
To fit the title banners
The Cavs have not sat idly
While you have honed your craft
They've become unrivaled masters
At getting first picks in the draft
And finally,
Roses are red
Violets are blue
There's no one….OK, ENOUGH OF THE PROSE. LeBron, you need to come back to Cleveland. You need to come back next season, if not for this title-starved area, then for yourself. When Jaden Smith stars in "The LeBron James Story" in 2025, the movie is gonna need a final act, and winning Olympic gold medals or rings with a handpicked Miami team won't cut it. You need to bring a championship to Cleveland. You need to reunite with coach Mike Brown, take Kyrie Irving under your wing and lead the Cavaliers to the Promised Land. Confetti falls. Family and friends in tears. Roll credits. If you need a subplot, you can do an "Ocean's 11" and steal billions from Gilbert's casino under his nose, but personally, I think the A-story will carry the picture.
And then, LeBron, every day will be your day.

Critics scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more favorable reviews.
out of 100
Metascore®Universal acclaimbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
A funny and madly arresting new documentary.
Read Full Review
Gordon's documentary proves better than 90 percent of the manufactured stories out this summer. One can breathe a sigh of relief that it was done right and not cobbled into another bad fictional comedy.
A documentary that is beyond strange, follows two arch-enemies in their grim, long-term rivalry, which involves way more time than any human lifetime should devote to Donkey Kong.
See all The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 11+
Amusing documentary duel at the video arcade.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this is not a King Kong related movie in any form, but a rollicking documentary about extreme video gaming. The PG-13 rating from the MPAA is unwarranted, even though there are a few swear words and brief glimpses of sexy still pictures.
Messages: Viewers get to pick sides between the arrogant reigning Donkey Kong champion and a nice-guy family man, dogged by bad luck, who seems to need the affirmation and approval of his peers badly. There are a few female players glimpsed, but women are mostly supportive (maybe slightly exasperated) spouses.
Violence: None, except quick flashes of violent video games over the end credits.
Sex: A sexy still photo of a nude couple (covering up each other's private parts, barely), is shown, illustrating the sordid past of a video gamer.
Language: "Bastard" and "kick that guy's ass" used, but the point is made that profanity is actually frowned upon in this milieu.
Consumerism: Not only are video games, video game parlors, and shop franchises ubiquitous, we also see plenty of the chicken hot sauce sold by one of the contenders in his day job.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Gaming is verbally compared to drug addiction, and some interviewees smoke.

Dble Haul |
Baby muskrat (swap entry) Here is Pete's entry in the pike swap, along with his comments: This is a good pattern for large pike, tied on two 45 MM Waddington shanks that are joined by a size #2 split ring. Its a good muskie pattern as well, but for muskie I use a split ring at the tail end with a treble, size 2/0 and the same in the middle. The hook for the pike version is placed on the joining split ring in the middle; this one is a Gammi 3/0. The rear end bunch of deer hair is tied with the tips facing forward and then bent back bullet style, the rest of the deer hair body is tied at about ½ inch intervals, usually 3 bunches of hair, pencil sized, per shank length, tied alternating top/bottom then right & left side, leave all the butts unclipped to add to the bulk and flotation. The tail is a 3-inch piece of worn out bootlace. The scragglier the fly looks, the better it works, making large water displacement on each pull. |

We have threads here about the Superbowl, March Madness, Monday and Sunday Night Football watching threads... the Masters... etc. The NBA fucking sucks and nobody cares anymore. We all bear witness.
The very thing that makes the NBA popular is also what makes it a joke. The whole attitude of the game today is the unsportsmanlike 'gangsta' rap mentality. You wouldn't see Bird, Magic and Jordan putting up with the niggotry going on today.

In Proc. 38th ACM Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL'11), January 2011
Alms is a general-purpose programming language that supports practical affine types. To offer the expressiveness of Girard's linear logic while keeping the type system light and convenient, Alms uses expressive kinds that minimize notation while maximizing polymorphism between affine and unlimited types.
A key feature of Alms is the ability to introduce abstract affine types via ML-style signature ascription. In Alms, an interface can impose stiffer resource usage restrictions than the principal usage restrictions of its implementation. This form of sealing allows the type system to naturally and directly express a variety of resource management protocols from special-purpose type systems.
We present two pieces of evidence to demonstrate the validity of our design goals. First, we introduce a prototype implementation of Alms and discuss our experience programming in the language. Second, we establish the soundness of the core language. We also use the core model to prove a principal kinding theorem.
Alms is also available on Hackage and can be installed with cabal install alms, though it may not be the latest version and it hides the examples in an obscure location like $HOME/.cabal/share/alms-version/.
Alms requires GHC to build. It is known to work with GHC 7.4.1, and likely no longer works with GHC 6. (If you want to try it and can't run GHC 7, let me know and I may be able to get it to work with 6.10.)
Provided that a recent ghc is in your path, to build on UNIX it ought to be be sufficient to type:
% make
This should produce an executable alms in the current directory,
If this fails, it may also be necessary to either install the editline package first or disable line editing (Please see Editline Trouble).
On Windows, build with Cabal:
> runghc Setup.hs configure > runghc Setup.hs build
This produces an executable in dist\build\alms\alms.
Cabal should work on UNIX as well, but mixing Cabal and make leads to linker errors, so it's probably best to stick with one or the other.
Examples from the paper and several more are in the examples/ directory. The examples from section 2 of the POPL submission are in:
examples/ex60-popl-deposit.alms examples/ex61-popl-AfArray.alms examples/ex62-popl-AfArray-type-error.alms examples/ex63-popl-CapArray.alms examples/ex64-popl-CapLockArray.alms examples/ex65-popl-Fractional.alms examples/ex66-popl-RWLock.alms
Other notable examples include two implementations of session types, an implementation of Sutherland-Hodgman re-entrant polygon clipping (1974) using session types, and the tracked Berkeley Sockets API from our ESOP 2010 paper:
lib/libsessiontype.alms lib/libsessiontype2.alms examples/session-types-polygons.alms lib/libsocketcap.alms
The echo server from our ESOP paper, which uses libsocketcap, is in examples/echoServer.alms. To try it, listening on port 10000, run:
% ./alms examples/echoServer.alms 10000
To connect to the echo server, you can run
% ./alms examples/netcat.alms localhost 10000
from another terminal.
The examples directory contains many more examples, many of which are small, but demonstrate type or contract errors—the comment at the top of each example says what to expect. Run many of the examples with:
% make examples
Or run the examples as regression tests (quietly):
% make tests
Of course, you can also run the interpreter in interactive mode:
% ./alms
You can load libraries from the command line like this:
% ./alms -lsocketcap
Or from within the REPL like this:
#- #load "libsocketcap"
Finally, it may be helpful to know about the #i command for asking the REPL about identifiers:
#- #i list Exn * type +`a list : `a = (::) of `a * `a list | ([]) -- built-in module Exn -- defined at lib/libbasis.alms:198:1-32 type +`a * +`b : a ⋁ b -- built-in val ( * ) : int → int → int -- built-in
The language as presented in the paper is faithful to the language as implemented, except for issues of pretty printing:
When the paper says . . . , | then type . . . . | |
∀ ∃ λ μ | all ex fun mu | (binders) |
α β | 'a 'b | (unlimited type variables) |
⊔ | \/ | (qualifier join) |
± ⌽ + – | = 0 + - | (variances) |
α̂ β̂ | `a `b | (affine type variables) |
→U →A | -> -A> | (unlimited & one-use arrows) |
→⟨α̂⟩ ⊔ ⟨β̂⟩ | -a,b> | (arrow with qualifier expression) |
Line editing is enabled in the REPL by default, which depends on the editline Cabal package. If make fails and says something about editline, then there are three options:
% make clean; make FLAGS=-editlineor
% cabal install --flags=-editline alms
% make clean; make FLAGS=readlineor
% cabal install --flags=readline alms
Installing editline can be kind of touchy. On my system,
% cabal install editline
seemed to install it, but Cabal still couldn't find it when building this program. Installing editline globally made it work:
% sudo cabal install --global editline
(Likewise, readline didn't work until I installed it globally.)
At this point, older versions of Cabal may give the installed library bad permissions, so something like this may help, depending on where it installs things:
% sudo chmod -R a+rX /usr/local/lib/editline*
If the cabal installation of the GHC package fails, it may be necessary first to install the C library that it depends on. The source is available at http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/. On my Debian system, I was able to install it with:
% sudo aptitude install libedit2 libedit-devNote that libeditline is a completely different library, and installing that will not help.

A homeless man has been indicted in federal court on charges he and an unnamed suspect conspired in December to rob a bank branch in Union Township at gunpoint of $5,184.
In a five-count indictment and arrest warrant unsealed Monday, prosecutors charged Orlando Williams, 30, with robbing a Huntington National Bank branch at 3576 Sheridan Ave., court records show.
Williams is accused of entering the bank and standing shoulder to shoulder with another suspect while both aimed firearms at the tellers and demanded money from them.
They allegedly fled the area in a stolen Ford Escape. Shortly after the robbery, Southwest Regional police said a witness followed the vehicle and noticed it drive over a mulch bed, punching a hole in the oil pan. As she followed in her vehicle, the woman also witnessed one of the suspects toss out a money bag after a red dye pack it held exploded.
Police followed the trail of oil to where the suspects got away after abandoning the vehicle about two miles from the bank.
Williams, who was already in custody in a separate case, faces bank robbery, firearms and assault charges in connection with the bank robbery, court records indicate. He was ordered held without bond in the case.

This was very tasty. give the sugar and tomato a chance-it's a bit of an ingredient twist on balsamic, and it is so easy in general to play with tomato recipes to account for personal taste w/different herbs, cheeses, kinds of onions...
Why would anyone put sugar on a ripe Heirloom tomato?? Good Balsamic Vinegar, Good EVOO, a little oregano and some thin slices of Videlia or WalaWala onion is all it takes.
I made this for a dinner club--theme was "Farmer's Market" so I wanted to keep it simple. However, this was a little too simple. I used room-temp, locally-grown tomatoes, but not fancy enough for a dinner party. Next time, maybe I would add some chevre.
What you don't realize is that you put the tomatoes the refrigirator six hours ahead of time and then take them out an hour before you serve the dish and add the scallons that way they can come up to room temp.
What everybody is over looking is the fact that you can prepare it 6 hrs ahead of time but you can take them out of the refrigerator an hour ahead of time so they can come up to room temp and then add the scallons. I agree that I don't like sugar on tomatoes even though we ate them like that when I was a kid.
I love this recipe! I use tomatoes from the garden and add feta in between. I have made this a few times for summer parties and it is always a hit!
I don't know why anyone with excellent farm tomatoes would dream of adding sugar to fully ripe fruit. It must be printed for those awful store bought 'matoes I guess. In San Francisco, we can easily buy real farm tomatoes that need no extra steps outside of olive oil and salt and perhaps balsamic vinegar. Also, someone says to "chill" their tomatoes; this is the worst possible thing you can do to this fruit. If you want a flavorless mush, put them in the fridge. Leave them out till they are ready to burst; then use them.
Nice recipe. If you've got wonderful tomatoes don't chill them, but cold helps if they're lacking flavor. Balsamic vinegar adds some punch.
as said before tomatoes should be room temp (always actually) replace the malt vinegar for (good) balsamic and you've got a winner!

Damn that sucks. If you have time though it would still be worth watching from how you get from point a to b also this show is powerful with emotions. Ive never felt so much hatred for one person. I also became very saddened for Katsura. One thing i do get is alot of people hate the show because they hated the main character. I dont think you should judge a show based on what a character does in it. I think that is to simple. I think the show is good because of the amount of emotion it can put out and make you feel. However if you were watching the show expecting laughs and enjoyment well i can understand why you would hate it then. Anyways it is only 12 episodes so i would say it is still worth watching but thats up to you.
I just watched school days and wow. I dont know if you have seen it yet but if you have not i think you should atleasty check it out. It has a intresting story and its hard to explain my thoughts on it without giving hints but i will say that once you finish it, like it or not i think you will respect it.
Watched Highschool DxD today and it turned out to be alot better than i though. Was iffy at first because it had alot of nudity and was worried fan service would be more important than plot. I really liked the story and i thought the whole rating game in the last few episodes was pretty well done.
Thanks for your comment on my Nisemonogatari review. ^_^
I never said the show wasn't enjoyable. For me, and for quite a few others to whom I've spoken, the show wasn't as... meaty? As its prequel. My issue was with pacing more than fanservice. You could place my critique as similar to my problem with Aoi Hana, that the non-plot interactions swallowed up a lot of time that could have been productively spent on furthering other interesting threads.
I was just listening to the ending song for ano natsu and started to get flashbacks of the last episode. Does that ever happen to you? Anyways i like your comment of lelouch and shirley being the horo and lawrence of code geass. Never thought of it like that but i like the idea. Also forgive me for how i spelled her name. I like how you brought up Envy's death. No matter how much you hate him you cant help but feel bad for him when he dies atleast a little. Time to study for my ap test now, probably should have done that earlier but oh well. cya

Airline passengers pining for faster in-flight internet access anywhere in the world – even over the oceans – are about to get their wish as satellite operators find success where Boeing failed a decade ago. Stronger, more focused signals from spacecraft lofted by providers such as Intelsat will replace cobbled-together connections meant for mobile phones and television broadcasts. Costs will fall, too, eventually making onboard broadband a free amenity to win travellers' loyalty, according to industry executives.
The technology is poised to bring sweeping changes in airborne wi-fi, which is now marked by cumbersome downloads, dead zones and scant public enthusiasm. ViaSat, whose service will debut on the low-cost US airline JetBlue next month, promises more satellite-delivered bandwidth for each passenger than the current market leader Gogo can offer to an entire plane.
"Ten years ago, we used to use dial-up; nobody does that any more," Tim Mahoney, the chief executive of the aerospace unit of Honeywell International, a satellite-hardware supplier, said. "That evolution that we've gone through in our home setting is going to take place on the aircraft." So-called spot beams from the new satellites deliver a more-concentrated signal than those blanketing a region with TV images.
There is enough bandwidth for scores of fliers to share, with moving jets handed seamlessly from one beam to another. It is akin to connecting a Starbucks coffee shop full of wi-fi users, if the store were zipping through the stratosphere. Inmarsat, which will pipe its signal through Honeywell equipment, plans to girdle the globe with three spot-beam satellites launched by 2014.
Intelsat expects its first Epic satellite will be in space in 2015. By then, JetBlue plans to have ViaSat's wi-fi on all its planes, according to the airline's chief executive, Dave Barger.
In-flight internet is available on only about 40 per cent of the US and Canadian airline fleets, said Jim Breen, a Boston-based William Blair & Co analyst. Usage is even less: the satellite provider Global Eagle Entertainment estimates only about 5 per cent of fliers on internet-enabled planes pay to hop online.
"When the plane lands, almost everybody immediately pulls out their phones," said Mark Dankberg, the chief executive of ViaSat. "That gives you a sense of how many people would use it if it were better."
Cory Levy, the co-founder and chief operating officer of the mobile application company One Inc, is part of that unsatisfied group. He buys wi-fi on only about half of the weekly flights he makes between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
"Fifty per cent of the time, it works really well and probably 50 per cent of the time on the SF to LA flight I can't even get Gmail to load," Mr Levy said. "It's sort of like a hit or miss."
Aerial wi-fi was kicked around for years as a concept before Boeing introduced Connexion, a service sold to airlines to deliver broadband via a global satellite network. Unveiled in 2000, the programme faltered as travel slumped after the 11 September terror attacks, and Boeing pulled the plug in 2006.
That left a void filled by Gogo, whose system of ground towers and mobile-phone spectrum grabbed the largest share of the US in-flight internet market, serving carriers including American Airlines and United Airlines. Gogo charges fees such as $14 for an all-day service.
Panasonic Avionics, Global Eagle and others jumped in, too, knitting together systems with satellites designed for direct-to-home television.Like the mobile-phone technology, the older spacecraft had limits on broadband speed. Gogo's system only provides a signal over land, creating hours-long web blackouts on overwater flights. "When you're stuck going far over the Atlantic for nine hours, there's only so many movies you can watch," said Matt Kepnes, who flies to Europe and South-east Asia about once a month for his New York-based travel blog, Nomadic Matt.
"I like getting on my computer and chatting on Facebook and talking to my friends, checking my email and getting some work done." Gogo plans to migrate to satellite to help expand overseas and boost speed, according to its chief executive Michael Small.
"Air-to-ground was a unique situation that worked just right in the US for us to get the early lead," Mr Small added. "But in the long run, it will be predominantly a satellite solution."
Still unsettled are technological questions such as which spectrum is most efficient for in-flight internet, leaving airlines to weigh conflicting claims.
Satellites for the Californian-based ViaSat and Inmarsat, which is based in London, use the higher-frequency Ka band, which potentially has twice the capacity, said Chris Quilty, an analyst at Raymond James Financial. Their Luxembourg-based rival Intelsat's Epic satellite will use the Ku band, the workhorse spectrum in the past decade, and will be able to match rivals' power, its chief executive David McGlade said.
Airlines' choices will lock them into one system or the other because antennas for the different bands are not compatible, echoing the VHS-versus-Beta videocassette battle. The cost of equipment and aircraft downtime for installation precludes switching easily, Mr Quilty said.
JetBlue's chief executive Mr Barger said the airline will start ViaSat wi-fi trials on three planes next month, before pushing the service to all its larger Airbus SAS planes next year.
Internet access will be free on the first 30 ViaSat-equipped planes, said Morgan Johnston, a spokesman. After that, there may be a fee for heavy use such as streaming videos. Mr Johnston said New York-based JetBlue is not discussing pricing, saying only the service will be "obtainable to anyone on the plane".
Passengers over time will want to be connected in the air like they are on the ground, for free, Mr Dankberg said. New satellites will lower airlines' internet cost to the equivalent of a beverage and bag of peanuts per passenger, prodding carriers to offer the service to everyone, he said.
"You go to Starbucks and you can get free wi-fi, but you don't feel obligated to use it," Mr Dankberg said. "That should become clear fairly soon that free is what people want."

'A British man who offered himself as a hostage to save the lives of a group of children was today described by colleagues as a 'born leader'.
Mitul Shah, 38, a sales executive from London attempted to strike a deal with the terrorists, replacing children with himself, a heroic act which gave several victims vital time to escape.
The selfless father did not get through to the gunmen and was shot alongside a number of children in the Kenyan tragedy, leaving behind his wife and two-year-old daughter.
Today his employers, the cooking oil company Bidco Oil, and his work colleagues spoke of their grief at his loss.
The firm said in a statement: He was a born leader and an inspiring soul loved by one and all.
Mr Shah, who was born in April 1975 in North London, held dual British and Kenyan citizenship.'
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Please note that this hero was a Hindu, not Muslim. Shah is a Hindu surname. This man was a Gujurati by descent.
Dear Sir,
We are well aware that this fascinating multifaceted story of good, evil, heroism, sacrifice, etc. will increase readership and advertiser revenue, nevertheless, we have decided to stop covering this story. Naturally our decision is based on sound editorial policy.
Every Mainstream Media Outlet This Weekend and Moving Forward Into the Week.
The stories coming out about this make the event more and more tragic.
I have no interest in these tearjerker stories. They just piss me off. If just a handful of victims had been permitted by the Kenyan government to carry guns, no more than a dozen people would have been killed. That's the real story of this mall carnage. It is the ultimate lesson of the price of gun control.
had they already been beaten raped and "converted"?
Actually, to be sure, both Hindus and Muslims have the surname Shah. This is one of those cases where it is difficult to tell simply by his name what religion he is. In any event, this is one of those cases where I don't think his religion or ethnicity truly matters, unless someone is a special interest "activist" group that wants to exploit his heroics for his or her own ulterior motives.
He could only fervently appeal to the better natures of the terrorists. He was unarmed. Like the heroic teacher who died in the closet while trying to cover her students, wouldn't it be even more heroic to die (or survive) while killing or trying to kill as many terrorists as possible, preferably with your own concealed weapon?
I am starting to think that hanging terrorists is too good for them. We should treat them like the demonic witches they are and burn them at the stake.
...On a different tangent. I had a debate with a liberal this week on gun control. He was telling me that more guns were not the answer, "Just look at all the guns at the Navy Yard and it did nothing the stop the massacre". First, I disabused of him of the notion that there are a lot of guns on a military base (only a relative few have access to guns and ammo. It is basically a gun-free zone). Then, I told him the Navy Yard and the Kenya Mall attack are perfect examples of why ordinary citizens should be allowed to be armed. He replied that he did not think that the average military or civilian person had enough expertise to be armed...They would create more problems. Only qualified police should carry weapons in public. I replied when seconds count, the police are minutes away. I also told him that if a service member could not be trusted with a gun said service member should get a new profession. The points I made did not resonate with him. I am sure he would feel quite different if he were ever put in that situation. I sincerely hope he never has to find out.
It's my hope that all these dimbulbs have a chance to find out just how twisted their worldview is. And that's a very sincere hope.
Experience is the best teacher, and these people have NONE.
I don't think you really mean that. He's not evil. He is just indoctrinated. I don't wish hurt on anyone even if they are acting terminally stupid. It's easy to get frustrated with people who are anti-gun, especially if they try to push their gun phobia on you with gun control laws.
Terrorists shooting innocents is a different matter.
Mitul is a Hindu name, not Muslim.
Shah is a Hindu surname and also similarly spelt, a Persian (not Muslim) title.
Mitul Shah is Hindu.
Other reports have confirmed that he is Hindu.
Fair enough, he certainly showed the fighting spirit that Hindus have become very well known for in the past 1000 years, for example the Rajputs, the Marathas and the Gurkhas.
I don't want anyone shot! I want them to be brought into the real world so that these sorts of bad outcomes can be avoided.
That requires these individuals to gain experience. These folks are not necessarily stupid or evil; they are merely terminally sheltered - they are childlike; naive and foolish.
A child learns that hot things are dangerous by touching them. Third party explanations don't carry weight.
When you wind up with a majority population of inexperienced, foolish people, who knows - they might elect one of their own as President - and then wouldn't we be in a fix!
It is not possible for it to be more heroic. If you're lucky, or a good shot, it might be more effective.
"Greater love hath no man, than he who gives his life for his friends."
Mitul Shah is Hindu. The majority of people with this surname are Hindu, but there are a great many Muslims, including famous ones, who also carry it.
Watched an Indian movie where an Indian Muslim man marries a Hindu woman in America. Their little business is destroyed after 9/11 because the bigoted Americans refuse to do business with a Muslim anymore.
How do they know they're Muslim? The family surname is Khan. As if most Americans would know that Khan is a Muslim surname.
Islam is a war plan.
It sure looks like consistency is not his forte.
So he thinks there are "lots of guns" on a military installation but "the average military or civilian person (does not have) enough expertise to be armed"?
Some liberals are consistently wrong. They know what they believe and have worked out their beliefs to their logical conclusions.
I can respect that. Honesty and integrity are to be encouraged, not in the least because somebody who honestly is seeking the truth can be reached with the truth. The best conservatives are former liberals who have seen the light and realized their errors.
But inconsistency such as what you are quoting here indicates that the person with whom you were talking either doesn't know what he is talking about (likely) or is letting his gun phobia blind him to facts.
Thanks for sharing. I think he was a hero despite what others on this forum might think. The good really do die young.
The Hindu version of the name is shortened from a longer Sanskrit word.
That said, Bollywood is disproportionately Muslim, and this is what my indian friends tell me.
thanks the scotsman.
Kenyan Mall Massacre: President Barack Obama owes world explanation about why he supports al-Qaeda
The person in question is a smart guy but is typical of many leftists. He bashes fox news as biased and goes on about how MSNBC programming is much better. Anybody who is not blinded by propaganda will tell you that MSNBC is at least a biased as Fox News and truth be told is more so. Basically, the guy is very smart about computers but has taken the lazy way to learn about politics, cliff-notes from the leftists at MSNBC and regurgitating pap from his college days. He also suffers from a superiority complex that which afflicts many liberals. I have to work with him on a semi-regular basis, so I usually try to keep our conversations related to the task at hand or on inconsequential pop culture or sports.
"A man's morality will dictate his theology". It will also influence his politics and his ability to accept certain glaring facts.
This is really a story of the fact that our lives do not only consist of getting all we can from this world but our lives consist of getting to the next world and meeting our Creator face to face. God seems to be taking all the good ones out of our world so what's left will only be the ones who want to settle things by killing others. Too bad, man was really created for so much more.
In 2006, then-Senator Obama campaigned for, and raised funds for Raila Odinga. Odinga is today Prime Minister of Kenya solely as the result of Obama's machinations after Odinga lost the election for President. Our Resident and the butcher Odinga are linked by blood and faith.
To recap, after Obama (and The Dick Morris) campaigned extensively in Kenya for Odinga, he lost the internationally monitored election by a fairly wide margin. Whereupon Odinga led a violent insurrection that included the internationally reported (except here) massacre of some 2500-3000 Christians. So many Christian farmers were forced to flee their lands that as a result, Kenya was plunged into famine!
Odinga's Campaign platform as heartily endorsed on the stump by Cousin Obama: Sharia Law within Muslim Provinces, Expulsion of Missionaries, Expulsion of Christians from the Kenya Government, Confiscation of Christian-owned land within Muslim Provinces, Collective Farming, etc. (Odinga is an East-Gernman educated communist, as are several Obama and Odinga relatives now active in Kenya, using Jihad to further marxism.)
If anyone still gives a rat's patoot about the law, what Obama did in Kenya was absolutely illegal; an activity specifically proscribed to members of Congress.

Here's hoping those children fully understand and appreciate what he did. Here's to them growing up to lead productive lives and not turn out to be the same as the monsters.
So it's all falling into place. . Wake Up America!
During every tragedy, we see miracles even amidst the horror. An angel appears, maybe more than one, and we call them heroes, but we know where they came from even if we don't understand how such horrors happen or why. There are reasons beyond our knowledge and we pray for the souls who had to endure such agony.
I, at least, also pray that the people who allowed this, who incited this, who supported such evil, endure the agonies of their victims a hundredfold for the rest of time. And that includes the biped who has occupied OUR house and all of his mnions who walk around in the blood of innocents today.
This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.

According to Human Rights Watch, "Honour killings are acts of vengeance, usually death, committed by male family members against female family members, who are held to have brought dishonor upon the family by, either refusing to enter into an arranged marriage, being the victim of a sexual assault, seeking a divorce—even from an abusive husband—or (allegedly) committing adultery." While males are not exempt from honour killings, the overwhelming victims are female.
Jordan socially and legally makes it possible for men to kill women in a premeditated fashion if the female member of the family is found in the act of committing adultery. Syrian and Moroccan laws make it possible for men to kill female family members without premeditation. Countries where honour killings are technically illegal, but take place in alarming numbers, are: Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt.
And for those who may think this is only a Muslim issue, think again. The Quran doesn't have the market cornered on sexism and misogyny. Until a few decades ago, in predominantly Christian countries Brazil and Colombia, wife killings were considered to be non-criminal « honour killings". Living in Greece as a teenager, I heard ample stories of "honour killings" taking place in rural areas, and I know the same to be true in Italy and Spain. Basically, anywhere there is a dominant patriarchal status and the concept of women as family property, honour killings occur.
And what happens when people with such beliefs immigrate to a liberal country, unfairly and unrealistically expecting their children (who naturally will engage other communities and adopt other customs) to follow an antiquated form of conduct which is outdated and archaic? A major culture clash occurs; often, a deadly one. Enter the Shafia trial, currently playing out in Ontario.
I've been following the disturbing details of this investigation with extreme sadness. The methodical and cold-blinded calculation with which a father, a mother and a brother plotted to kill three young girls and the husband's first wife is unfathomable to me. But also heartbreaking, because, while I know that there's a very good chance that these killers will be punished, the perpetrators of 5,000 honour killings taking place each year (according to statistics from the United Nations Population Fund) most likely will not.
How does one even begin to raise awareness and change attitudes in deeply patriarchal societies where the concept of women's rights is not even remotely culturally relevant? Such brainwashing takes place that – mind bogglingly – the women themselves are either complicit in other women's honour killings, turn a blind eye, or choose not to report the killers of what – in many cases- are their own daughters and sisters.
Four women found a watery death in the Rideau Canal locks in Kingston months ago (three of them mere teenagers) and for what? Because a man wanted to preserve his family honour? What's so honourable about a vicious premeditated act that leaves four innocent people dead, three members in prison for the rest of their lives and the remaining children without parents? I see no honour in that. And I hope the Canadian judicial system makes sure to send the message that no one else in this country does either.

Prior to the Clippers' Feb. 11 matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, longtime NBA head coach Doug Collins met the media and talked about the Clippers' depth, their championship potential and Chris Paul's leadership, among other topics.
On what stands out about the Clippers:
"They have great depth. Their bench is dynamic. I think Jamal Crawford is having a great year. [Eric] Bledsoe is having a great year. I think what helped Bledsoe is when Chris was out he got to play a little bit more and run the team. Now Grant Hill is back. I think he did a great job yesterday, defending Carmelo [Anthony]."
"They have shot blocking. They defend the paint very well. They're number one in steals and points off turnovers. When you look at this team they have glamorous players, but to me they're a very blue collar team. I think that really is their calling card is that they're tough."
On Chris Paul:
"They are 30-11 with Chris Paul. He's obviously the guy who makes that team go on both ends of the floor with his defense, with his passing, with his shooting."
On whether or not the Clippers can win a title this season:
"Absolutely. Sure they can [make a run at a title]. What were they 16-0 in one month this year? They've got stars. Anytime you defend and rebound you've got a chance. They're not a great free throw shooting team. And it's interesting, they're not a team that shoots a lot of free throws. That's an area, I think that come playoffs could be a little bit of a concern. But they've got depth and they defend. And when you defend and you have a dynamic player like Chris Paul who can go anywhere and win for you. Chauncey Billups is coming back now. He's got the big game experience. They can shoot the three. I don't see them as having any weakness if they keep everybody healthy."
On the "Lob City" moniker:
"[Lob City's] not hype. That's reality. But that's not what wins the games for you. They win games because they're one of the best defensive teams in the league. They rebound the ball. They share the ball. They turn you over. Sometimes you look at the glitz and glamour of the lobs and you forget the blue collar approach that these guys take to the game every night."

The Digital Photography Handbook is nicely produced for such a relatively cheap volume. It is roughly Ocatvo in size, measuring 15.5 x 21.5cm, a little too big for a pocket but ideal for slipping in the side of your camera bag. The cover is softback, and finished in a hard-wearing matt surface that doesn't mark easily, a useful feature for a book that is likely to see a lot of use out in the field. The paper and printing quality are excellent, and the many colour photos throughout look superb. The binding is quite loose, and the book will lie open at a page without bending the spine. It includes a useful four-page glossary and an even more useful five-page index.
Despite the enforced brevity of the format Doug Harman manages to impart a large amount of information in very few words, a skill no doubt honed during his long career as a camera journalist, writing articles and reviews for some of the biggest camera magazines in the country. Doug is an excellent writer with an encyclopedic knowledge of digital photography, and like many of the best magazine writers he has the ability to explain a complicated subject to a non-expert audience and make it seem simple. His passion for his subject makes it engaging, informative and interesting to read.
The only real criticism that can be levelled against the Digital Photography Handbook is that it tries to do too much in too little space, and as a result doesn't cover any part of the subject in sufficient depth. It is a very good introduction to the subject and absolutely ideal for beginners and those considering buying their first digital camera, but even novices will outgrow it fairly quickly. It would be good to see Doug Harman write a companion volume of the same size and quality covering the same subjects as the Using Your Digital Camera chapters but in greater detail, and then maybe another expanding on the digital darkroom techniques, but I'm sure his publisher has already thought of that.
The Digital Photography Handbook is the perfect guide for anyone considering buying their first digital camera, or for any beginner keen to learn more about the subject. It is well produced, beautifully illustrated, the writing is concise and easy to understand, and it's a bargain at the price. If you're looking for a Christmas present for the budding digital photographer in your family, look no further.
Excellent review made even better by plugging Pentax in each photo ;) Anyway the book seems an excellent introduction, will make a cheap present for some of the more digiphobic relatives.
Great article again Cliff,
However are there any recommendations you could make for some books that cover things for the more enthusiastic photographer that covers the subjects in more detail?
Just what I was looking for...copy ordered, thanks TR :-)
Seems like a very good book, gorgeous pictures and well priced.
I for one welcome these kinds of reviews, books and other products that are not electronics but deal with them in some way.
On a side note, it is slightly compromising reviewing you friends book isnt it;)
can't find it on iBooks or Kindle...
I have the 2008 edition of this book and it would be a great gift for someone starting out in digital photo or an introduction to the options and where to go for the youger person starting on their first serious journey into photography. Highly recommended and a nice compact format.

Sit back, chill out and watch some movies this weekend. You could go out to the theater and see that Year One flick that takes place in Biblical times. Or you could watch a pair of those right here on Fancast. Watch Martin Scorsese's searing drama The Last Temptation of Christ and Richard Lester's insane comedy A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum after the jump.
The Last Temptation of Christ
Martin Scorsese made a lot of waves back in 1988 with this controversial account of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (Willem Dafoe). This Jesus was not the all-knowing, all-loving picture of perfection that is so often spoken of, but rather a real human being, conflicted and tempted by Mary Magdelene (Barbara Hershey) while dying on the cross and even manipulating Judas (Harvey Keitel) into his betrayal to seal his legacy. Keep an eye out for David Bowie as Pontius Pilate as well.
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
After all that Biblical heaviness, you've got to pick up your spirits with Richard Lester's hilarious and crazy slapstick comedy based on the smash hit Broadway musical set in ancient Rome. Zero Mostel is a con-man slave named Pseudolus pulling all sorts of cunning manipulations to win his freedom, planning all sorts of skullduggery in three Roman houses – including one run by the senile Erronius (Buster Keaton).

Display and projector vendor NEC has introduced a software tool that allows users to present and share content and collaborate across devices. DisplayNote Software, developed as a NEC edition by DisplayNote, lets users annotate, underline, highlight, and add notes to a presentation. They can also send private messages to participants, build work groups, make an audience member a presenter, and view a participant's screen.
People who are viewing a presentation can connect to a presenter's session through DisplayNote, capture the displayed content, and save it for future use. That content can then be annotated by the person who has saved it.
Users can begin a session and open any type of content — video, images, or PowerPoint files — which can then be shared through a collaboration mode with groups of devices.
The application works with existing projectors and screens, according to the two companies, as well as hardware running Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android.
"Our partnership with NEC Display Solutions enables a new wave of multi-user collaboration, one that enhances interaction and convenience," said Eddie Morgan, head of marketing at DisplayNote. "This solution will not only improve learning outcomes, but also improve the whole learning experience as well as foster new levels of collaborative working."
The program comes in multiple licensing configurations; a retail annual license fee, for example, for one presenter and 40 clients is $595.

Making bio-briquettes a Jamaican reality
THERE are many economic benefits associated with implementing a biomass briquettes programme in Jamaica, in an effort to provide the island with a cheaper fuel source.
Biomass briquettes (or bio-briquettes) are formed by compressing bio-waste, such as paper and garden waste. When burnt, they give off more heat energy than uncompressed bio-waste, with far less air pollution.
By producing our own energy source — through the use of items such as coconut shells, cocoa shells and newspapers — we stand to create jobs, reduce the impact on the environment of our waste, and improve our waste management.
However, we should not enter into using biomass briquettes lightly, as a careful study of the sources of bio-waste to ascertain which biomass option has the best energy yield is necessary.
Figure 4 shows a proposed flow process for bio-briquette creation while Table 4 shows considerations for bio-briquette setup.
There are a number of considerations since the screw in the screw press machine must be replaced at intervals. This interval is known as the standing time. The standing time has a significant impact on the cost of bio-briquette production.
To guarantee sustainability, we ought to manufacture the bio-briquette presses locally. This allows the skills for repair and maintenance to be readily available and ensures that real technology transfer takes place. This technology must be adapted to our local conditions to allow for a successful roll out as a cheap alternative source.
We often speak of our "burgeoning debt burden". If we are to improve our economic condition, we must increase our productivity and, therefore, we must have cheap energy. Why should we look to another country for fuel when we have the necessary source here?
There are several ways that Jamaica may enter into bio-briquetting. Table 4 has some recommendations. Government could set up briquetting plants, partner with private sector and sell to electricity generating companies.
Alternatively, the Government may wish to encourage the use of bio-briquetting technology by subsidising businesses and training interested persons, as was the case in India.
There are many possible sites that bio-briquette factories could be set up. These include the former Goodyear plant in Morant Bay, St Thomas. Currently, there are many unemployed youth in that area. These youth may become at risk if policies are not implemented to assist them in becoming contributing members of our society.
A small power generation plant could be placed near this factory site to directly feed on the production of these briquettes. In fact, a small industrial estate may be erected that houses small-scale factories. This will ensure that cheap electricity is provided for the manufacture of goods.

Volume of an oblique frustum of a right cone.
Hola: I completely fail to find a function that decribes the emptying of a right cone as a function of its inclination. To illustrate the problem: We have a right cone (e. g. a common cocktail glass completely filled with liquid) with a base angle alpha. When we incline the cone from its upright position to ninety degrees minus alpha/2 - then it will be empty - what is volume of the remaining liquid inside the cone as a function of the cone's inclination from its originally vertical position? (It's not homework; I'm retired and trying to teach my daughter, 10th g rade German grammar school, the use of MATHEMATICA.) Best regards, MATTHIAS BODE S 17.35775=B0, W 066.14577=B0 2'740 m AMSL.

That is a very long debate. You will get some folks like TheGame and WilliamM who prefer large blades for the activities they do. Whether an axe or machete does better than a chopper-sized knife has a lot to do with what is being chopped and where. I'm for example told that in certain desert scrub environments the combination of thorns on branches and very dense wood makes a thick chopper knife the preferred tool. Others seem to prefer a machete. Where I have compared machete and chopper knife performance in my preferred environment the machete seems to win and the axe trumps them all.
Since we don't know where you are from, what environment you hike in and what kinds of things you do while you are in the outdoors it is impossible for us to recommend a good knife to meet your needs. I encourage to read some of the earlier threads on chopper knives, mid-sized knives and bushcrafter knives. Use these terms as keywords in your search. You will find interesting debates and conflicting opinions for each category of blade length.
Personally, I like the ESEE-6 quite a bit. But like I said earlier, when I bring the ESEE-6 it spends most of its time attached to my pack and I have a 3.5" Bruce Culberson knife that does the majority of fine blade work. In fact, most people here will recommend a combination of tools rather than a single edged tool. It is always the best configuration for versatility and efficiency of outdoor tasks with the only compromise being weight and packing volume.
