Ah, the wonders of soybeans!
We will be the first to admit that we're a little late to the "let's make soy products at home" party. It's only after we realized how much we were spending on soy milk that we decided to try to make it for ourselves.
And it's pretty amazing the things you can make from a little more than a handful of soybeans. In the process of researching how to make soy milk, we came across recipes for tofu skin (one of our favorites), tofu, soy pulp and all of the things you can do to flavor or process tofu. So we're starting a soybean series all about our exploration of soybeans. To kick off the series, we start with soy milk, which is a crucial first step in making other soybean products. Our series will trace our experiments making the following:
- Soy milk
- Soy pulp (Japanese: okara おから, Korean: kong biji 콩비지, Chinese: doùfǔ zhā 豆腐渣)
- Tofu skin (Japanese: yuba 湯葉 , Chinese: fǔ pí 腐皮 )
- Tofu (silken, firm...)
- Flavored tofu & processed tofus (fried, fermented, dried, and so on)
A Word on Store-Bought Soy Milk vs Homemade
To all store-bought soy milk afficianados out there -- a little wake-up call: your soy milk probably has sugar in it. Now, I have been the in habit of drinking "Soy Dream" soymilk (original flavor), which I thought was sugar-free, but upon inspecting the ingredients, I was a little surprised to see "organic evaporated cane juice." Which, by all accounts is certainly better than refined sugar, but nonetheless not ideal if you are trying to avoid hidden sugar. In any case - just another advantage of making your own soy milk.
That said, the flavor is certainly different. While some swear by homemade soy milk, I actually prefer the store-bought variety.
Homemade soymilk is a bit more of a commitment -- it's thicker, and nuttier to me than store-bought soy milk, which is thin and slightly sweet. It's akin to the difference between whole milk and skim milk. That said, Asian-brand soy milk, however, seems more consistent with the homemade batches that I came up with.
What You'll Need to Make Soy Milk
- Dried soybeans (try the bulk aisle of your grocer)
- Filtered or distilled water
- Cheesecloth
- Colander
- Blender
- Large bowl
- Stock pot
A Little Digression on Ingredients ...
Like New York bagels, many say that water is the key ingredient to tofu (or soy products in general). And given that there are basically two ingredients in soy milk, there's probably some truth in that. Bearing that in mind, we chose to use distilled water (which removes impurities in water) for our soy milk. But feel free to report back whether your city's tap water produces some amazing tasting soy milk!
As for the beans themselves, it's hard to trace provenance when you're getting your ingredients from the bulk aisle, but chances are your beans are from the US or South America -- quickly becoming a top producer.
The One-Sentence Soy Milk Recipe
There's really no need for a recipe, though we have added it here.
In short, you soak the soybeans, puree them, cook them with water, then strain. That's it!
But for those that crave a little bit more detail:
Prep the Soybeans
Soak 1 1/2 cups of the dried soybeans overnight in a generous amount of the distilled water. This is fine to leave outside, but if you're doing this in the middle of the summer, you might want to put this somewhere cool or in the refrigerator.
The next day, massage the soybeans around so that most of the skins are removed or float to the top. If this is too troublesome, you can skip this step although this is a way to improve flavor.
Now, to puree the soybeans: add half of the soybeans into a blender with about 1 3/4 cups distilled water. Puree until very smooth. Repeat with the remaining half.
Cook the Soybeans
Put 3 cups of water to boil in a large stockpot. Add the soybean puree into the boiling water and cook on medium-high heat for 20 minutes or so, partially covering it with a lid. You'll have to tend to this carefully, frequently stirring and monitoring as this will foam up, bigtime.
Strain the Soybeans
While the puree is cooking, layer the cheesecloth (at least 2-3 times) over a colander. Set the colander inside a larger bowl. Pour the cooked soybean liquid through the strainer. When it's had a little time to cool, use a spatula to press the remaining juice out of the strainer.
When it's cool enough to handle, slowly squeeze the cheesecloth until all of the soy milk has been pressed out and all that remains in the cheesecloth is the soy pulp (save this! very nutritious and you can make a lot of stuff with it).
What's remaining is the bowl is soy milk! You can add sugar and salt if you wish, or as I prefer, enjoy it hot and fresh with a little honey. This can be refrigerated for a few days, but you should try to consume this fairly quickly.
Coming next in the soybean series: what to do with soy pulp...

its a weird trade proposal all around. it says the pirates dont care for gaby sanchez (who may go the other way as the "additional roster player", but i doubt it) and would get a mediocre, switch hitting 1b back in Smoak. You get a decent catcher in return, numbers wise, but wouldnt get much PT with the recent FA signing. It frees up some salary, but doesnt make the pirates better. maybe i overvalue GJ's bat, but i dont like this idea at all.

The Hansoft team collaboration and management tool has reached its 7.5 version iteration. The tool itself combines different methods including Agile, lean, and Gantt in the same real-time view.
Its latest version is said to feature (as a result of feedback from enterprise-level users) the ability to scale Agile to what its developers have called "super-large" size.
"Compared to other tools, Hansoft has proven particularly well to fit in large development environments with several parallel development streams, for the teams, programs, and on the portfolio level. These organizations typically have complex release trains, use multiple developments methods, and work on different OS platforms," said Patric Palm, Hansoft CEO.
Also included here is something called "flexible release tagging" for developers who face multiple releases mixed from several dimensions. For example, targeting several releases in one sprint and managing complex release trains.
The sprint burndown has also been improved with an ideal burndown line, exclusion of non-working days and the option to turn off sprint prediction, plus there is the ability to turn off the sprint prediction and exclude non-working days.
Other features include the status summary improvements where subprojects show "In progress" when they contain unfinished items and items with "To be deleted"- status are excluded from the summary.
Improvements to the product backlog window make it possible to move it behind other windows and to minimize it and there is an option to lock the position of the "item name" column and archive releases.

Comic 960: Shipping and Mishandling
[Comic title: Subliminal; alt text: Once you see it, you can't help seeing it every time. Until your body finishes metabolizing the mushrooms.]
Randy would like you all to know that he tried mushrooms for the first time the other day, and it was a very strange experience. He saw all these things he doesn't know how to describe! It was very odd, because Randy is a genius with the written word and artistic expression both. He tried very hard to make a comic that was very funny and that encapsulated the "gist" of his experience, but, well, no one is perfect. Instead he drew a Dalek with two big round holes in it, and a guy catching a baseball, and a guy wearing a Guy Fawkes mask (who is apparently Guy Fawkes himself--it is a little known fact that the Guy Fawkes mask actually originates from the mask that Mr. Fawkes wore when he tried to blow up parliament) who apparently has had two great slashes carved from his skull. The result, if you squint, could read 'FedEx.' To make sure you got the joke, he even used the same colors.
Being on mushrooms, Randy decided, was basically the same thing as lolrandom humor. But how would people know that he had done mushrooms, since he did a lot of lolrandom humor BEFORE he became a more enlightened human being???
Oh wait, he can just tell you, several times, that this is a joke about drugs (lol!!!!) because there is nothing like unnecessary text to beat you over the head with a point.

I don't know if you're aware of this, Rob, but the discovery of the arrow in the FedEx logo is somewhat of a meme. The gist of it is to point out to idiots with no observational ability the existence of the arrow and mock them for their failure to notice it. I think this comic is meant to exaggerate that, where The Girl fails to notice an image hidden in the FedEx logo even more conspicuous than the arrow, but (the funny part!) ridicules The Boy for not seeing the arrow anyway. The drugs thing, it seems to me, was just the way Randall decided to make The Girl do it.ReplyDelete
I don't know about the alt-text, though. I think Randall was just taking the drugs thing and running with it.

Rob, your point falls very flat. It's much more likely that Randall decided to make a WACKY and SUPERQUIRKY comic and pack it full of REFERENCEZ. Drugs don't tie in to this in the slightest.

Where I'm from it's pretty common for geeky types to do drugs, at least while they're still in their 20s. I don't know where this "geeks don't do drugs" idea comes from.
- The same guy as the aboveOctober 7, 2011 at 6:12 AM
Added to the above: it's usually the liberal, geeky types who pride themselves on being liberal, geeky types, whose parents paid their way through college and who hypocritically live in a culture of conspicuous consumption and spend half their time bitching about first-world upper middle class problems like facebook not having gender-neutral pronouns while believing themselves to be superior to less enlightened people. So Randall kind of fits that to a tee.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 7, 2011 at 8:49 AM
There are different kinds of geeks. Some kinds might try drugs, some kinds don't.ReplyDelete
The stereotypical WoW playing parent's basement dwelling geek doesn't do anything besides caffeine (maybe alcohol too, but doing any other drugs would require them actually having the social connections to acquire said drugs).
Of course Randall isn't the WoW playing kind of geek, but he reminds me of the a certain group of geeks in college who lived in the substance free dorms. Doctor Unisex sees him differently, fair enough I guess.
Randall's previous substance related strips haven't exactly made him seem like he has much direct experience though. 790's reaction to LSD ("oh god, spiders") might have struck me as plausible before I'd tried any psychedelics, but now it comes across as coming from somebody who's never done acid. In 617, while Randall grudgingly acknowledges SCIENCE in the alt text, he seems to think tequila has magic super-drunkenness properties (probably because he believes there is a mescaline containing worm in the bottom of the bottle). I don't think he drinks very often either.
Isn't it not so much 'drugs are cool' as 'needing medication because you have a mental illness is cool'? Because insane = crazy = wacky = awesome.ReplyDelete

I suggested I'd be putting up a fourth comic tonight, but I was up until about 8 this morning drawing the Steve Jobs comic (and, before that, getting a bunch of new t-shirt designs done, which I'm really excited about). What with the pigeon debacle and a bunch of doctor visits today (nothing bad), I think I'm too sleep-deprived to do anything but argue about dinosaur taxonomy on the internet. Accordingly, I'm just going to call #961 an early Friday comic, and start fresh after I get some sleep.

As an MIT kid, I can say that drug use is moderately common at MIT, but, in my experience, those who use drugs aren't so idiotic about their motivations. Granted, I don't have a very broad social circle, so maybe I haven't stumbled upon the douchebag clique yet.ReplyDelete
lots of them aren't so idiotic about it, true. but there's a couple who don't seem interested in the recreational aspects so much as they seem to basically think that it's a neat brain-hack. these are the sorts of people who use the word "hack" to refer to any clever trick, and who think that being a "hacker" makes you automatically good at everything.ReplyDelete

Also, financial aid means I go to MIT for a relatively minuscule amount of money. In fact, almost of all of these sorts of schools seem to have pretty severe FA packages. Harvard charges you nothing (I think) if your income is less than $60,000 per year, and it charges 10% of the tuition if your income is $60,000 - $180,000 per year.

For added pretentiousness the first two syllables, and only the first two syllables, should be pronounced Frenchly.

How'd the arrow in the real Fedex logo become a meme? It's OUTLINED IN DARK BLUE. It's scarcely hidden in any way. If you cannot see the arrow that's not FedEx being clever, that's their graphics money being wasted.ReplyDelete
Actually, looking over their logos, sometimes they do just let it be defined by negative space, sometimes they fill it in in grey, and sometimes they heavily outline it in dark blue. That said, I do think you almost have to do drugs to not see even the no-hints version.ReplyDelete

Difference between revisions of "Pushkar"
Revision as of 13:32, 4 February 2013
Pushkar is a holy city in Rajasthan, India famous for its Brahma temple, lake, ghats, and bazaar.
Pushkar is a holy town in the state of Rajasthan famous for the Pushkar lake, various ghats and temples spread all around the lake.
The word 'Pushkar' means lotus flower, which is said to be the seat of Brahma, one of the Hindu holy trinity, who is worshipped as the creator of this world. The legend has it that the demon Vajra Nabha killed Brahma's children, he in turn struck him with his weapon, a lotus flower. Vajra Nabha died with the impact, and the petals of the lotus fell at three places. One of them is Pushkar, where it gave birth to a lake. Brahma is supposed to have performed sacrifice at this lake on Kartik Purnima (the full moon day of the Kartik month (generally in the month of November)), hallowing the place.
Though Brahma is considered to be the creator of the world, Pushkar is the only temple of this important deity in the whole world. This is also considered as Adi Teerth or Teertharaj meaning ancient holy place or the most important of holy places respectively.
Nowadays the atmospheric mood of Pushkar has been largely ruined by tourism, and it's widely available marijuana. While it's certainly a great place to meet people and chill out, a cultural experience it is not. You are constantly harrassed by phoney priests for money in exchange for blessings at the Holy Lake, who can get aggressive and pushy when you decline. Lots of ultra-violet glowing merchandise available for purchase, bhang lassis, and stalls pumping out loud sci-trance. Locals less friendly than in other parts of India, presumably because they resent tourists ruining their town.
Get in
By plane
Pushkar is but a small town and hence has no airport. The nearest airport is in Jaipur. Jaipur is well connected to major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata by air.
By bus
Take a taxi or rickshaw from Ajmer. Frequent buses are available from Ajmer main bus station (rs 8/-)
By train
From Delhi, regular trains are available till Ajmer. There are direct trains from Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Bhopal, Ernakulam and Bangalore to Ajmer.
By Taxi
www.taxiinajmer.com , www.pushkartaxi.com , www.rajasthantaxiservice.com , campsafaritour.in
Various tour operators and travel agencies offer chauffeured car-taxi services; these are charged on a per km, per day basis. You can plan to take one to arrive into the city or take one for sightseeing in and around the city.
Get around
Most of the sights center around the lakefront which can be seen on foot.
To go further a field you can hire a bike (push/motor) and take in the surrounding beautiful countryside and hidden temples.
Go for a Pushkar camel safari in nearby villages. Pushkar is famous for camel safaris. Tourists can visit small villages for five days camel safari,Rural Village tours, Local Culture, crop harvesting during their camel safari ride. The view can be exceptionally enticing. Camel safaris in Pushkar are always a memorable experience for tourists. However,
This place is heaven for shoppers. filled with many items like jewelry, cloths, showpieces, books, bags, handicraft,shoes YOU will have to carry extra bag because the market fascinates u and pulls u to buys beautiful things
Alcohol and non-vegetarian food are forbidden in Pushkar.
Try to book room in a guest house, Luxury tent ,camel safari, having view of Holy Lake Pushkar. In Pushkar it is the lake that is most important religiously and mythologically. It will cost you something around €5 to €6 in tourist season.
Stay Safe
Scams are widespread in Pushkar, particularly around the lake. Most frequently, a "holy man" will sit with you and go through a blessing. They will then ask how much you would like to donate to their "charity". They ask for a donation per family member. They will push for 2,000-3,000 rupees per family member you would like to pray for, then 1,000 rupees. Often they will not accept less than 1,000 rupees.
Despite Pushkar's reputation as a holy town, you are best to avoid the people at the lake. Tour guides often work together with the scammers to intimidate you and frequently follow you around the town after you visit the lake to get more money.
To stay safe, avoid hiring a tour guide without prior recommendation from someone you trust. Never accept any blessings at the lake.

The Missouri Tigers men's basketball team apparently had a very good game against Stanford on Thanksgiving Day and nobody saw it. The game which was played in the Bahamas took place right at lunchtime on Thanksgiving Day and I'm not even sure if it was televised anywhere but certainly not where I was. Missouri has another game on Friday before returning to cold and windy Columbia.
Thanksgiving Day featured two very good NFL games and one televised scrimmage. The Houston Texans hung on to beat the Detroit Lions in a game they very easily could have lost and perhaps should have. That was followed by a game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys which had all the makings of a blowout until Dallas decided to make it interesting but the Redskins were able to hang on for the win. The final game of the evening featured a New England Patriots team that is piling up huge offensive numbers right now and looks to be getting better each week playing a New York Jets team that are kind of interesting to watch in a bad sort of way. The Jets were supposed to be one of the Super Bowl favorites coming intot he season but instead have deteriorated into a totally dysfunctional unit who have no problem publicly criticizing each other in the New York press. They looked like they might have gotten things worked out last week against the Rams but obviously that wasn't the case.
The Missouri Tigers football team plays their final game of the season on Saturday against Texas AandM in what has turned out to be a very disappointing season for the Tigers. I can't honestly say that I think the Tigers record would be any better in the Big 12 had they sayed there but the move to the SEC certainly hasn't helped them. Texas AandM on the other hand has embraced their move to the SEC and has become one of the top teams in the country.
If Notre Dame wins their football game on Saturday it will set in motion six weeks' worth of hype that will eventually lead to the national championchip game in early January. This will not be good for ESPN viewers who will be subjected to the ESPN hype machine in full blown mode as the Fighting Irish are probably the most storied and recognized brand in college football. The fact that Notre Dame will be playing another team will most likely be overlooked for the most part as all the focus will got to Notre Dame. I'm sure I will have much more to say about this in the coming weeks as I grow more and more tired of the whole thing.
The Kansas City Chiefs continue with their lost season on Sunday when the Denver Broncos come to town. The is a chance the Chiefs could win but that chance is so small I doubt there is a way to measure soemthign that small.
The St. Louis Rams travel to Arizona on Friday to take on the Cardinals in a game that is very winnable if they want to win it. Both the Rams and Cardinals are better than they have played this year so it could be an interesting game.
We will be back on Monday with a look back at this weekend's sports action and whatever else we can come up with. Thanks as always for supporting all the blogs on this site.
Have a great weekend!

Talk At Ordinary Mind Zendo
It's my mom's birthday. So here's a photo of her and me in Nairobi, Kenya on some Christmas in the 70s. Happy Birthday mom, wherever you are!
And before you go making up your own versions of what transpired last Saturday at Ordinary Mind Zendo in New York, please have a listen to the recording of the talk.
For those who may not be seeing that link, here's the URL:
It will also appear shortly on iTunes. Search for Hardcore Zen Podcast. The title will be something like "Transference, Transmission, Adolescence, Adulthood, Life and Death." Last I checked (11 AM EST 6/23/11) it wasn't up yet. But it'll be there soon enough.
By the way, I got a very nice email from Mr Magid explaining his side of what happened. I think I didn't quite grasp how people were feeling about Joko Beck's death. You'll hear that I faltered badly in my attempt at saying something about it at the beginning of the talk. Having botched this, I decided to change gears and go right into what I'd prepared. The talk had been advertised as being about my new book Sex, Sin And Zen. So that's the talk I gave.
In any case, as I said before, I enjoyed this talk. I thought it went really well. Honestly.
And Barry Magid said he got some obscene emails from people who saw this blog. STOP THAT SHIT. Seriously. That's not nice.

A $121 million unlawful foreclosure practices settlement has been reached between large bank mortgage processor Lender Processing Services Inc. and the attorneys general from 46 states and the District of Columbia.
LPS is required to pay out $127 million to plaintiffs to resolve allegations the Jacksonville, Fla.-based company "robo-signed" documents and engaged in other improper conduct related to mortgage loan default servicing.
The settlement prohibits signatures by unauthorized persons or those without first-hand knowledge of the facts attested to in filed documents, enhances oversight of the default services provided, and requires review of all third-party fees to ensure that the fees have been earned and are reasonable and accurate.
"Today's settlements are another major step toward putting issues related to past business practices behind us," said LPS President/CEO Hugh Harris. The company, which claims the majority of the 50 largest banks in the U.S. as its clients, is working through additional lawsuits.
On Jan. 28, 2013, LPS also settled the securities fraud litigation brought by St. Clair Shores General Employees' Retirement System, subject to entry of a final order by the federal district court. Additionally, in December 2012, LPS resolved litigation filed by American Home Mortgage Servicing Inc. "We look forward to favorably resolving our remaining regulatory and legal issues in the near future," Harris said.
Once the judgment is entered by the courts, LPS will undertake a review of documents executed during the period of Jan. 1, 2008, to Dec. 31, 2010 to determine what documents, if any, need to be re-executed or corrected.
If LPS is authorized to make the corrections, it will do so and will make periodic reports to the attorneys general of the status of its review and/or modification of documents.
Consumers may call LPS and request review and correction of any documents executed by LPS during any time period.

OF MONTREAL and MRIs
Before I forget, check out the new issue of Alternative Press magazine. In issue #231, October 2007, with the band Chiodos semi-nude on the cover you'll find an op-ed piece by little old me on page 26. Alternative Press started out as a local fanzine for the Cleveland punk scene. When they started getting big they gave Dimentia 13 a lot of nice reviews (thank you). Now I got to make my contribution. Though reading the rest of the mag I realize how incredibly out of touch I am with the music scene these days. You kids and your whipper-snappin' punk rock!
I just got back from Montreal last night. The talk at McGill University up there went really well. The previous day I was a guest on a show on Montreal's CBC radio called Radio Noon with Anne Lagace-Dowson. Anne really knew her stuff about my book, which is rare in radio interviewers. I also did an interview with John Maciel of CKWR FM Radio, which was pretty cool too. Those shows generated so much response we got moved from the small room we'd originally been booked into to a larger lecture hall. And even that was standing room only. Gosh. The same thing happened at the Interdependence Project in New York City, the place was packed beyond capacity. Don't people on the East Coast have anything better to do?
While I was up in the Great White North yet another researcher wanted to scan my brain. Last year I got brain-scanned down in the great state of Georgia. So this is the second time I've participated in a study where scientific types have wanted to peek inside the brains of meditators to see if our are different from those of just plain folks. I'm always game for these things. I think it's great that such research is being done and I'm as curious as the next guy to see how it turns out. Maybe my brain is like totally round and has developed a special gland that can shoot out lazer beams or unhook girls' bras from ten feet away or something. That would be rad!
While I really support this kind of research, I wonder if the changes that years of Zazen practice causes in the brain can be measured by MRIs and suchlike. I'd imagine they can. I certainly feel a lot different now from what I did before I started this practice. But I also imagine the chemical and physical changes to the brain might be subtle. But what do I know about brains anyway? I'm like Fred Flintsone when it comes to brains. Ask the Great Gazoo.
Montreal was fun and French. After my brain scan I went with the guy who'd scanned me to sit with the Association Zen de Montreal, a group founded by Taisen Deshimaru. Deshimaru Roshi was a pal of Nishijima's. Both were students of Kodo Sawaki. They used to meet every time Deshimaru Roshi came back to Japan from France. Nice group. I didn't get to see a whole lot, though, in the short time I was there. They sit with black kimonos on, which are provided for everyone who shows up. I've seen other Zen places that do this. It's nice in that everyone gets to wear something very comfortable to sit in no matter what clothes they were wearing when they showed up. It also creates a nice "Zen" type atmosphere to see everyone wearing them. It's probably not a practice I'll adopt because the folks who come to see me sometimes tend to freak out over matters of costuming and suchlike (Calm down, OK? It's just clothes).
I really like Montreal and hope to spend some more time there in the near future. I like places that get cold sometimes.

While there are many opinions about how we should educate our children in Jefferson County, we can all agree on one underlying principle — we care about our children, and we want the best for them.
Jeffco schools have struggled over the last three years to manage more than $60 million in state funding cuts without hurting kids. We have reduced costs, closed under-enrolled schools, trimmed staff, streamlined administration and cut compensation.

This is a building-wide enrichment program consisting of a series of posters and accompanying questions designed to pique student interest in science concepts and their application to the world in which we live. Accompanying each poster is a series... (View More) of question sheets of increasing difficulty levels that students answer and submit at a designated location (collection box, office, etc.). Random prize drawings can be used to recognize/celebrate student participation. The purpose is to expose students to and create school-wide interest about science so students want to "STOP for Science" as displays are changed throughout the year. Although the focus is building-wide, content can be linked to classrooms through use of accompanying teacher resource guides. The website includes several resources for program facilitators, including posters, answer sheets, podcasts, implementation guide and webinars for facilitators. The program targets grades 3-6 for independent use, but can be used with grades K-2 with adult or upper grade level assistance. Each poster in the series stands alone and is not tied to concepts in other posters. Therefore, posters can be displayed in any sequence desired. (View Less)

I've been promising this for months and months (trust me--no one has been more frustrated over the issue than I) but last weekend we finally had things finished enough to take you on a tour and as an added bonus you get the benefit of our Festive Christmas Decorations (which are coming down today by the way).
There are still two closet doors to put up and paint, a piece of trim, some steel cables and two pieces of floor glass to install but other than that it's all done.
It's funny, I've never ever thought of our home as our Dream House--it's just not glamorous enough for that and would have to include a jacuzzi tub--but we've been here for seven years and now that we've fixed it up here and there it really does feel like ours to the point that I'm becoming quite attached to it. It finally feels like our thumbprint is on the whole thing and that the house really and truly represents our family.
I love seeing the kids enjoying their new space, they've really taken to it. Spencer's working on a big project at his desk every day now and Grace has got a spot for her easel. Now if I can just get them to keep it clean . . .
It was funny--we had the electrical inspection last week and the inspector took one look at the rooms and said, "Did Black + White design this?"
When we said yes he said, "They always do interesting designs."
So you can design for yourself what you think--but as for us? We're in love.

Getting contributions throughout their lineup, the Rangers rolled to a 55-29 victory over the Litchfield Terriers in a non-conference game Monday.
Reading (11-8) had two players score in double figures and played one of its strongest offensive games of the season. The Rangers scored in double digits in each quarter, including a 21 point eruption in the second that provided breathing room.
"Our scoring was really balanced tonight and I was pleased with that," Reading coach Ryan Mulnix said. "We'll need to get back and work on our defense in practice, but give Litchfield lots of credit because they're much improved over last year."
The Rangers jumped to a five-point lead in the first quarter, then outscoring the Terriers 21-12 in the second. Reading took a 32-18 lead into halftime.
Litchfield (7-10) was limited to 11 points in the second half. The Rangers used an 11-3 run in the third quarter to pull away.
Brittany Marquart had 15 points and seven rebounds to lead Reading, while Jami Hubbard added 13 points and seven rebounds. Ashley McCarley scored nine points and Taylor Coe had eight points and six rebounds. Michelle Davis scored seven points and handed out five assists, while Sumer Rodgers forced five steals.
Harley Prater turned in a strong game for the Terriers, leading all scorers with 17 points.
Reading travels to Homer for a Big Eight Conference game Thursday. Litchfield will visit Burr Oak for a Southern Central Athletic Association game Friday evening.
Tekonsha 40, Will Carleton 35 (ot):
The Will Carleton Academy girls basketball team was edged in overtime by the Tekonsha Indians in Monday's non-conference game.
Will Carleton held 27-26 lead with less than five seconds remaining, but committed a foul. Tekonsha hit 1-of-2 from the line to tie the game and force overtime. The Indians outscored the Cougars 13-8 in the extra session.
The Cougars will visit Holt Lutheran for a Mid South Conference game Friday evening.
Balanced Rangers top Terriers

Comics 910 and 911: More Good News From The Home Front
I give Randy credit that these jokes are actually vaguely related, but this just means he doesn't lose quite so many points for not just picking one joke and sticking to it.
911. The Magic School Bus was a show about learning through empirical observation rather than by simply reading and regurgitating information that is the product of other people's observations. Randy's joke is, apparently, "what if instead of going and observing things they just looked things up instead? wouldn't that be boring?" Or perhaps this is an earnest paean to Wikipedia. "Wikipedia is just as exciting as the Magic School Bus. I would rather sit on my ass and type random words into the little search box than go on adventures."
I think that Randy is kidding on the square here: of course it's boring, but at the same time, this is what Randy is reduced to. He sits and idly consumes, because his job is to sit at his computer and read Wikipedia until he comes up with a way to make one of the articles into a comic. It's reached the point now that he no longer even tries to hide it: lately he's done nothing but praise Wikipedia and all of its greatness.
I liked the alt text for this one though. As many people observed, the structure of this one is quite sound--it has a setup, some beats, and a punchline. The problem is there is no humor to be found anywhere. If there were the alt text would be particularly well done--but alas, the joke is about as humorless as it's possible for something to be.
Maybe next time, Randy.

Agreed. MiH was awesome. No other webcomic comes near to the glory that was Men in Hats.
Plus, MiH's Aram was way cooler/funnier/more poignant than xkcd's black hat guy, who is supposedly based on the former.

@K.:*:.: I suspect you made your delightful moniker specifically to pick random fights with internet-borne Corvids who type like 12-year old girls! That's racist against tweens and birds, and I demand restitution!ReplyDelete
Re K.'s actual content: Well, this is what happens when an otherwise-unemployed geek makes a living off webcomics. Sure, he could be spending his 23 free hours a day exploring the world as he continuously tries to urge his followers to do, but instead he stays in front of a computer all day, learning about them on Wikipedia.
If anything, #911 is a cry for help, a nostalgic scream about how he's lost his thrill for the magic of the world, and Wikipedia is the monster to blame. As Wikipedia devours his world day by day, topic by topic, the only constant that remains in this paltry existence is the Destroyer itself, so what else can he do but craft idols in Its name, and worship It as the God of his shrinking world.

manual, n. A booklet that instructs on the usage of a particular machine.

(1) It's annoying the way some GNU software uses spartan manpages and prefers to put more stuff on an info page;
(2) Wouldn't it be funny if the same thing applied to aircraft emergency recovery procedure;
(3) Let's also assume pilots are as clueless as wannabe geeks, not having had thousands of hours of training and flight time drumming the procedures into their heads already.

Interested in hearing you think there will be a winner; League loses revenue, Players lose a year of salary, and owners have to spend money to win back fans. I guess I would agree with the KHL being a winner...

NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge on Tuesday approved an agreement for BP PLC to plead guilty to manslaughter and other charges and pay a record $4 billion in criminal penalties for the company's role in the 2010 rig explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance said the plea deal was "just punishment" considering the alternatives to the settlement, including the risk that a trial could result in a lower fine for BP.
Before she ruled, Vance heard emotional testimony from relatives of 11 workers who died when BP's blown-out Macondo well triggered an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and started the spill.
BP agreed in November to plead guilty to charges involving the workers' deaths and for lying to Congress about the size of the spill from its broken well, which spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil.
The deal doesn't resolve the federal government's civil claims against BP. The company could pay billions more in penalties for environmental damage.
BP separately agreed to a settlement with lawyers for Gulf Coast residents and businesses who claim the spill cost them money. BP estimates the deal with private attorneys will cost the company roughly $7.8 billion.
For the criminal settlement, BP agreed to pay nearly $1.3 billion in fines. The largest previous corporate criminal penalty assessed by the Justice Department was a $1.2 billion fine against drug maker Pfizer in 2009.
The criminal settlement also includes payments of nearly $2.4 billion to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and $350 million to the National Academy of Sciences.
