Tunisia: Amina Tyler, Tunisia's 'topless jihad' Activist, Caught and Under Arrest
After months of reportedly going into hiding, the outspoken Tunisian feminist who sparked a trend of "topless jihad" has been found and arrested by Tunisian authorities earlier this week and may be charged for conducting "provocative acts."
Amina Tyler, 19, was found in the midst of police scuffles with hardline Salafist group Ansar al-Shariah in the central Tunisian city of Kairouan on Sunday.

This Record Store Day I was fortunate to add Amon Düül II's Phallus Dei to my krautrock library.
But for those just getting into the genre of German experimental music, Can's albums recorded between 1971 and 1973 are absolutely essential listening.
Original pressings will set you back about $150 apiece, but fortunately an unofficial limited run of 180g marbled colored discs were produced in 2007 along with the original album artwork. These boots are much easier on your wallet - I picked up all three albums new for $55.
Released in 1971, Tago Mago was one of Can's most experimental and free-form recordings. Check out "Peking O" for a wild standout track.
A year later they followed it up with Ege Bamyasi. This album features Can's best-known tracks, "Vitamin C" and "Spoon."
And in 1973 Can journeyed into proto-ambient territory with the lengthy and memorable title track of Future Days. (This is the album that introduced me to Can.)
And when I saw that the seller also had the Peel Sessions double LP (affectionately known as "the Lost Can Album") I just couldn't pass it up!
Now it would be a crime to speak of essential krautrock without mentioning the band best-associated with the genre - Kraftwerk.
To keep with the colored vinyl theme, I recently tracked down Italian translucent vinyl bootlegs of their first two albums. Simply named, Kraftwerk I and Kraftwerk II, these were recorded before the band fully dedicated themselves to their self-constructed electronic instruments. The first two records were far more fluid and experimental - like early Tangerine Dream albums (before they picked up a sequencer.)
The next krautrock LPs I'm after are Popol Vuh's Affenstunde and Ash Ra Tempel's self-titled debut album.
If anyone comes across a copy, let me know!

Wow, those are some awesome records!
I do have to admit my ignorance regarding krautrock, but I'll check these guys out next chance I get.
Great post!
Is Rammstein considered Krautrock? I LOVE those guys!

The DarkPAN matters
There is currently some FUD going about in some parts of the Perl community about why we should break Perl 5 backwards compatibility. A short blog entry, schmarkpan, is a good example of the trend: loud, noisy, but clueless and devoid of any content.
The author writes, DarkPAN was discussed quite a bit at YAPC::NA. But really, what is it? How is it defined? Well, DarkPAN is just a slang word to express the fact that Perl 5 is now currently used all over the world in production and sometimes critical systems: websites with high availibility, financial systems, operating system build processes, and so on. That would also include the so-called GreyPAN, all Perl OSS applications that are not on CPAN. So, asking this question, even rhetorically, makes you sound as if you didn't knew that Perl is actually used in production.
He continues, Who are these people that have a vested interested in Perl and yet do not participate? For a start, I would like to point out that Mr Perez himself is someone with apparently some interest in Perl, but who does not participate in Perl 5 at the slightest. I might be biased, but I tend to think that the regular contributors of perl5-porters are a lot more likely to have informed opinions about the Perl 5 core development than people who don't even read it.
I think attempting to appease a faceless entity with no defined boundaries has fail written all over it. It is fear mongering. Who's the fear monger here? And who's trying to be realistic by attempting to release software with some quality expectations, notably by making the upgrade process seamless and introducing as little bugs as possible? It's a well-known political technique to accuse the opposite party of being guilty of one's own defects. But it doesn't make you right.
If we break it, they can choose not to upgrade. Several fallacies in one single sentence. First, we should not consider breaking it. Breakage happens, but our goal is to avoid it. Secondly, breakage is detected after upgrades, usually (or it would have been avoided). Third, this not only applies to Perl 5, but also to every open source project widely used (in the Perl world, DBI or LWP come to mind -- upgrading them is not a trivial operation either.) This is a matter of common sense.
Then, suddenly and without warning, the discussion shifts from breaking backwards compatibility to simply breaking Perl: What about bug fixes?, I hear you say. That is the joy of open source. There are lots of unemployed hackers out there that would be willing to backport those fixes for you. Oh heavens forbid! Actually paying open source hackers to write code! The sky is falling! Wishful thinking at its finest. Mr Perez might have found a tuit tree in the middle of a magic garden, but I have never seen "lots of unemployed hackers" who are at the same time fluent in the Perl internals, and lots of generous donators that fight over the privilege of paying them to work on Perl. Actually, there is one, currently: Dave Mitchell, who is paid to get 5.10.1 released. Yes, paid: the sky is falling.
Perl does not belong to DarkPAN. It belongs to us who participate in its wellbeing. In other words, "fuck the users". But we're not in the land of toy projects here. We can't bless any change (or revert it two releases afterwards) just because it looks shiny at the time. This is not the parrot you're looking for. People do use Perl 5 for serious things, and we must ensure that a certain level of quality is preserved.
But have you, Mr Perez, even skimmed through a perldelta manpage, to look at the list of incompatible changes? Because there's actually a lot of them, in spite of what you seem to believe. I had code that broke because strict is stricter in 5.10 (as mentioned in the manual that you didn't bother to read.) ghc broke because we removed the magical variable $*. It's not like we fear incompatible change. We just don't like to introduce incompatible changes just for the sake of being incompatible.
I say we make the decisions best for our language of choice. But code changes don't happen because someone yells about it on a blog. They happen because someone actually writes code. If you really want to see something changed in Perl 5, write a patch and come discussing it on P5P. Although you might not have an idea about what you might want to see changed in Perl 5, since your empty, uninformed and slightly inconsistent rant fails to identify any precise problem.

The VLC team has updated its Kickstarter project page with an announcement on how progress is currently being made for both Windows 8 Windows Phone 8. While the roadmap is currently focused on Windows 8 and RT, the Windows Phone version is found to be much more feasible than previously thought.
We previously covered the project when it was started as an upcoming Windows app, but the team is now focused on Microsoft's mobile platform as well, which will please consumers who are looking to invest in new hardware by supporting partners. The team also notes that Windows Phone is less restrictive than it desktop brethren and thus some existing code will be included and run as is.
"We've been in touch with Microsoft representatives, who are thrilled about our endeavor and ready to collaborate with us. They are looking into ways of supporting us directly through non-financial matters, notably hardware, technical and design help. This is great news."
As well as the above, the VLC team has been in touch with several designers and chip venders about the project, which is surely gathering traction with the interest from both Microsoft and consumers - the Kickstarter project has accumulated over $20,000 thus far. It's proving to be a challenge to have the app ready for it to be successfully published in the Windows and Windows Phone stores that Microsoft actively polices (to a degree).
It's reported that a significant number of backers have asked about legal implications of the potential publication of VLC on the Windows Store, but these have been responded with confirmation that the store terms and conditions appear to be compatible with GNU GPL. Also, when published the team hopes to be able to distribute codecs through the store.
Be sure to keep an eye out for future updates on the Kickstarter project page, where the team plans to publish imagery of current UI mockups, as well as video demonstrating ideas for Windows Phone. Exciting times ahead, folks.

Ellie Goulding Is Restless in 'Figure 8′ Video
Ellie Goulding's second single from 'Halcyon,' 'Figure 8,' is an ode to a relationship gone awry -- a common theme tying the record together. Her video reflects the chaotic feelings that arise during a tumultuous and hurtful affair.
We see Goulding being nearly literally smothered by her feelings, singing with a red sheet covering her entire face. She writhes around in agony in bed, levitates, lights up and moves things seemingly with her mind. If you can picture 'Paranormal Activity,' 'Carrie' and a really horrible breakup altogether, that's what the clip will bring to mind.


text: Welcome to the Third Round of the 2015 Formula SimRacing Season. The password to join the server will be visible when you log in to GPCOS in the Control Center next to the server's IP address. Before proceeding to the event, pay attention to the following: Read the updated rules package for 2015 here. Check Cutting/Extending Exceptions here. rFMod Download here. Allocations: Penalties: Schedule: The Free Practice session will be 15 minutes in length and will be run in the "Practice 1" session. Every participating driver should join as soon as possible after the server opens to make sure that they don't miss the start of Qualifying and also to make sure that their game is configured & working properly. The Qualifying 1 session will be 15 minutes in length and will be run in the "Practice 2" session. Drivers can use what ever setup they want, as long as they only drive with qualifying fuel loads. The Qualifying 2 session will be ~15-20 minutes in length. Only the top 10 drivers from Qualifying 1 will be allowed to go out on track. Drivers will be allowed to do one flying lap (one outlap, hotlap and inlap). The drivers will go out on track one at a time in reverse Q1 order (P10, P9, P8 etc.), with the following driver only being allowed to leave the pits AFTER the previous driver has passed the start/finish line to begin their timed lap. Parc Ferme will be enforced. You will only be allowed to change your fuel load, engine boost, engine brakemap, front wing angle, steering lock,brake balance and brake pressure after the session is over, so make sure you have your race setup loaded when entering Qualifying 2. The session will be closed, meaning if you happen to join late, or for some reason drop out of the server during the session, you will not be able to rejoin the server until the server has moved to Warmup. The Warmup session will be 10 minutes in length. While in the garage, make sure you add the appropriate amount of fuel in to your car since refuelling is not allowed during the race. You can drive freely in the Warmup session to try to get a feel for the heavier car after qualifying on low fuel. The Race will be 56 laps long. Drive safely during the race, especially at the start and the first lapin general. Red Flags will NOT be used unless in very specific situations which are specified in the rule documents.

For the most part Amazon's "Send to Kindle" program has worked out extremely well for them. It creates a convenient means to send just about any readable content you have on hand to your Kindle with no hassle. Anybody with an internet connection can use it and there is absolutely no complexity to the interface. You simply select your document and send it.
Apparently that wasn't enough. Now it is possible to pick up Send to Kindle for Firefox. This takes a slightly different approach, though it delivers much the same functionality as the desktop integration we've had a chance to get used to.
Initial reviews have largely been positive. There was some concern with compatibility as the browser plugin was not properly updated to account for one of Mozilla's frequent software updates and that seems to have cost Amazon a large share of its overall rating in the Firefox Extensions rating system. Since the last software update there have been few written complaints.
Rather than replicating the experience of the desktop app, Send to Kindle for Firefox takes on the likes of Instapaper. It will allow the preservation of web pages for viewing at the reader's convenience without the need for perpetually open tabs or being stuck in front of the computer at all. Content can be read, preserved for reference, or even archived in the user's Kindle documents.
The only real problem that seems to have come up so far, at least based on my own experience, is the inability of the new extension to push documents to the whole range of Kindle apps. Kindle for Windows 8 is unable to retrieve these documents as is the Kindle Cloud Reader. These are two of the most-used options available when a Kindle device is not on hand and neither will even acknowledge anything that isn't purchased directly through the Kindle Store.
That's a problem that has been needing attention for a number of reasons for quite some time now. While it is a problem that these apps can't access user content, it is hardly fair to let that color a review of an unrelated service beyond the obvious noting of such a problem. If you need to have access to saved content in places beyond your mobile device or eReader, it might be best to avoid getting too excited about this one.
This will be of the most interest to people who truly despise ads in the web reading. It allows you to conveniently read anything you want on your Kindle ad-free without recourse to tedious copy/paste options. There are still some problems, especially in badly coded or complexly formatted sites, where you can end up with jumbles of code. It isn't a perfect application and you're certainly not going to be able to consider it completely finished just yet. As it stands, however, this is a valuable tool and adds a great new feature to the "Send to Kindle" application toolset.

The Senate Finance Committee released legislation on Tuesday outlining more than 40 so-called tax extenders it wants to preserve, and dropping about a dozen more.
Although the PTC did not make the cut, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) expects it to be added back into the package at some point this week.
"Negotiations continue. This is just one step in the process," said Peter Kelley, AWEA's vice-president of public affairs.
"We are confident the renewable energy production tax credit will be part of the final bill that passes the committee. That's because we have the bipartisan support."
Ron Wyden, the Democratic chairman of the committee, said he intends to make this extension the last one before a comprehensive rewrite of the tax code.

I have been involved as an organizer-writer in the emerging fields of complementary, alternative and integrative medicine since 1983. Happily, I have learned some things. I was once called an "expert in alternative medicine" by Medical
Economics and later an "alternative care (integration) expert" by Modern
Healthcare. The name-calling was proud-making, even if I was so-dubbed by
reporters who were on their first forays into the field.
Both anointed me before I went on sabbatical in Costa Rica and later Nicaragua with my family in 2002. Part of the reason for sabbatical was that whatever expertise I may have developed often ran frustratingly short of being able to offer robust, successful business models with readers and clients. More than once I counseled people against the initiatives they planned. Trends taught me to recognize the invisible handwriting of a sure failure event behind the bubbling enthusiasm of an initiate. I needed a break from the work. My family and I took it!
I was away from the United States for three years. I had my hand back in things for the last 2.5 years. I assisted a philanthropist on her integrative medicine investments in community clinics, CAM schools and academic health centers. From early 2004 forward, and out of home offices in Monteverde, Costa Rica, and then Granada, Nicaragua, I helped organize and direct the National Education Dialogue to Advance Integrated Health Care: Creating Common Ground. This ongoing project, involving leaders of 12 disciplines (IM, massage therapy, holistic nursing, AOM, ND, DC, direct-entry midwifery, holistic medicine, public health, yoga, occupational medicine, whole person nutrition) will inform The Integrator Blog copy.
I come back to writing these News and Reports and to managing the blog enthused to discover and share with you what I can which can serve your
work. We are all in a new, more seasoned phase of this integration
work with its own insights, opportunities, edges and challenges.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) - Some legislators want to take a new look at the gift ban passed in 2005 that keeps lawmakers from accepting anything from lobbyists and the groups they represent.
Sen. Tom Lee's efforts led to the gift ban. He says he is taking a look at revisions because some lawmakers say the ban makes it harder to interact with constituents.
Among ideas he's considering are allowing lawmakers to be guests at functions held by organizations like a chamber of commerce without having to pay. They would give notice they plan to attend and report the attendance afterward.
Sen. Arthenia Joyner voted for the gift ban in 2005, but welcomes a change. She says it's awkward when she visits a school and has to explain why she can't accept a cup of coffee.

Bowers & Wilkins has introduced an updated version of its award-winning Zeppelin speaker, with vastly improved acoustic performance as well as Apple AirPlay capability, and we were lucky enough to get up close and personal with the Zeppelin Air for some hands-on time and we were mighty impressed with what we saw.
Sporting the iconic looks of its predecessor, which was launched 3 years ago, the Zeppelin Air is one of five launch products for Apple's new service, and it's likely that it'll be the first to hit the shops.
The inclusion of AirPlay means that you'll be able to stream directly from your computer (from iTunes) or from the music library on an iPod, iPhone or iPad, as long as its running iOS 4.2. What's more, you can download the Apple Remote app from iTunes and turn your iDevice into a remote control for iTunes so that you can change tracks wherever you are in the house. If you've got Spotify on your iPhone you can also stream tunes directly from there. As the Zeppelin Air is essentially an iPod dock you can also plug your Apple device straight into the docking port or hook up a non-Apple product using the inputs on the back.
Ears-on so to speak, the audio performance itself is remarkably good and a substantial improvement on the original Zeppelin speaker. Sound clarity is excellent and the transparency on detailed tracks is such that it almost feels like the musicians are in the room. The bass performance is particularly impressive and is maintained even when the volume is lowered - a definite mark of superior engineering. With its distinctive cigar shape, the overall design of the speaker is very slick and also surprisingly sleek and compact for such a powerful product.
The use of Apple's OS means that controlling the AirPlay function is a piece of cake and unlikely to confuse even the most ardent of technophobes. Even without the addition of AirPlay, this is still a fantastic conventional iPod speaker that towers over its rivals in terms of audio quality.
Not content with simply adding AirPlay capability, B&W has also made huge leaps in audio quality with the new speaker. New drive units have been included for better dispersion of sound within the room and the Zeppelin Air is also an active 2.1 system meaning that it has dedicated amps for each driver.
The digital signal processing has also been improved for better control over the driver units which should result in a balanced sound at all volume levels. Audio aficionados will also be be pleased to hear that the new device sports an audiophile-grade DAC. What's more, the inclusion of a Flowport, borrowed from one of the brand's high-end speaker ranges, controls the air flow produced by the bass drivers for a clear, stable sound.
With high hopes B&W told us that: "The Zeppelin Air is going to fundamentally change the way that people listen to audio at home". As the number of AirPlay users grows, it's likely that we'll see the introduction of more compatible products including more compact devices for use in smaller rooms around the home.
The Zeppelin Air is available from March with a price tag of £499.99.

STOCKTON - As state plans for the future of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta inch closer to completion, San Joaquin County officials have worked to keep an eye on developments and a voice in Sacramento as they progress.
STOCKTON - As state plans for the future of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta inch closer to completion, San Joaquin County officials have worked to keep an eye on developments and a voice in Sacramento as they progress.
On Tuesday, they did not need to venture past the chambers of the Board of Supervisors in Stockton, where a staffer with the Delta Stewardship Council was on hand to talk about the sixth draft of the Delta Plan that has been developing for two years.
The plan is billed as something that will protect and improve the ecosystem of the Delta while increasing the reliability of the water supply. The estuary provides at least some water to about two-thirds of California.
But local officials have been wary.
Delta Stewardship Council Chief Deputy Executive Dan Ray talked to county supervisors about the draft plan while trying to allay local concerns.
"The Stewardship Council is not nearly as powerful as you all imagine," he said. Local officials have been concerned about the plan usurping land-use authority from local governments. "Covered actions" would be required to be consistent with the Delta Plan.
Ray noted that concern, saying that some had said, "Folks will need approval from the Stewardship Council to change a light bulb."
All it would take is new legislation to increase the power of the Stewardship Council, Supervisor Leroy Ornellas said.
"My concern is not what we start, it's what we end up with," he said. "State and federal agencies don't get smaller, they don't get less powerful. They get more powerful."
Ray said the Stewardship Council has done its best to keep its regulatory authority in check.
"I don't hear on our council a great appetite to micromanage the activities that are of great importance to San Joaquin County," he said.
The final Delta Plan could include a controversial canal or tunnel that would divert the Sacramento River around the Delta, directly to the pumps used to export water. But that is happening in a separate process, known as the Bay Delta Conservation Plan.
Supervisors questioned Ray at the meeting, often echoing written concerns filed by the county with each iteration of the draft.
Supervisor Larry Ruhstaller said increased water storage needs to be a key element to any plan. "Without that, ... we're still fooling ourselves."
Ray said the plan "strongly endorses" study of increasing storage. "Certainly, storage is part of the solution."
Supervisor Ken Vogel asked about a part of the legislation from 2009 that kicked off the latest round of planning in the Delta. It called for a reduced reliance on the Delta for the state's water supply.
The plan would do that through reducing per-capita water use while diversifying the sources for the water supply, Ray said. This would happen through water conservation and water-management plans for rural and urban areas and would need to be developed, he said.
Vogel said he was not satisfied with that. "What I hear ... is the total amount of water will not be reduced."
Ray said there was not a requirement to reduce the absolute amount of water exported.
Ruhstaller noted gains in conservation that have already been made.
"Southern California has done a great job of using, basically, the same amount of water they did 10, 20 (or) 30 years ago," he said. And increased conservation in Northern California can get part of the way to a water solution, he said.
But the available water in the Delta is finite. There's enough for Southern California users, he said. But not enough for those and the exports for farming in the southern San Joaquin Valley, he said. "It's only going to be in the wet time when there's that surplus to grab."
It is a difficult challenge, Ray said. "And if we all work together, we can make progress on it."

I deleted all of my old vlogs, sorry guys! I just feel a tad embarrassed when I look over them. I haven't done a vlog in almost a year!
So this is the much awaited (yeah right :P) haul video! I actually went to Value Village more than a couple times these past two months, but today's haul is the only one I've documented. I'm just lazy like that. But you've been seeing a lot of my thrift finds in my recent outfits, so you basically know what I bought hahah.
To conclude this short post, here are some photos of The Naked and Famous's Alisa Xalayith. I love the band in its entirety: their music, their members, their videos. I featured two of their songs in this vlog: "Girls Like You", and "Crazy Yes Dumb No".
|via UNKNOWN
Will definitely post lots of photos from prom for you lovelies! Thanks for the happy wishes and lovely comments. I'm gonna write up more posts, and blog more frequently, promise! And they'll (hopefully) be just as short and sweet as this one.

Say WHAT???!!!!
Physter, RE: "order the death of someone who gathered sticks on the Sabbath?"
I subscribe to a website, chabad.org, that explains the Jewish point of view - it may or may not surprise you, that they cover all electrical switches, not just wall switches, but toaster, Microwave, toaster-broiler, Crock Pot, Mr. Coffee, etc., with aluminum foil on the Sabbath, just to be sure they're not tempted to turn an appliance on.
Amish for a day.
If you visit Israel, on the Sabbath one elevator out of a bank of elevators will be the Sabbath elevator. It continually goes up and down, stopping on every floor, so that they don't have to push the buttons. Usually the other elevators work normally, but if the other elevators are broken and you have to use the Sabbath one, you end up as a rather cranky Gentile.
But no, I didn't know that about all the other electrical switches. If you have no access to your labor-saving devices, couldn't you potentially end up doing more work?
Nope - you're supposed to do all that the day before the Sabbath. Now, you can begin a meal, before the Sabbath, in a Crock Pot, but to serve it, you cannot set it on the table, and pick it up again - you must hold it while you serve, and return it to the same spot from which you picked it up, otherwise, you have worked.
Seriously, if you know me, you know by now I have a very wild imagination, but there's no way in hell I could ever make this stuff up. If you want links, I can certainly give them to you, but please don't waste my time if you're not going to go there and read them..
Jewish folks are in competition with the Amish for silly rules and creative ways of getting around them.
For example, while the Amish say they can't use electricity, what they mean is they can't connect to the local electric grid. They can operate machinery they can run off a generator.
They don't use cameras or allow photos of themselves to be taken. Why not? "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that...is in the earth..." (I wonder how many "Christians" disobey this very clearly stated rule, which is the second of the Ten Commandments.
When an Amish woman dies, she is typically buried in her wedding dress.
Then we have the custom called Rumspringa, whereby Amish youth, while still living at home, are free to experience the lifestyle of "the English" (that's what they call the non-Amish). They drink, take drugs, fuck like bunnies, and then decide which lifestyle they like better. (Bear in mind now, if they choose to leave the Amish, the break is pretty compete: they will be shunned.)
Now, there are shades of Amishness. Mennonites (related to the Amish but usually more extreme) are more puristic about it and are thus more strict. Some Amish make exceptions when away from home. If an Amish owns a store, for example, he may be allowed to plug into the electrical grid or use a car.
What besides religion or schizophrenia can have people behaving so crazily?
RE: Mennonites (related to the Amish but usually more extreme)
Which Mennonites have you been talking to? There's old order Mennonites that are like the Amish but less extreme, and then there's normal Mennonites who drive cars and have internet and can dance and all kindsof things. They just talk about peace a lot, have hang-ups about alcohol, and don't worship the government like many American protestents.
@Physeter Bad link.
But I do stand corrected anyway.
Amish Airlines: But what holds it up? Jesus?
The link works for me. That's Goshen College, one of the Mennonite colleges. At college they're even more liberal, hence the pink mennos.
I know some Jewish people, while observing the Sabbath, have a "Let a goy do it" philosophy ("goy"=non-Jew).
For example, here in the Cleveland area, which has one of the highest concentrations of Jews in the country, there's a Jewish deli. It's open 7 days a week, but on the Sabbath it's operated by trusted goyim.

A couple years ago I bought a cheap auto darkening helmet off ebay for about $45. After only a couple of hours of use I felt like I was getting eye fatigue, and after putting up with it for a few days of using the helmet I decided to switch back to my trusty old Miller fixed shade helmet, and I wasn't getting the eye fatigue anymore. Every once in a while I grab the auto darkening helmet and adjust the settings but it never works very well. Even with the sensitivity turned all the way up it doesn't darken quick enough and you end up with that "flash spot" in the center of your eye so you can't see anything for a minute or so. That's when I decided to throw it in the closet and never use it again.
Recently I was browsing helmets on Amazon and realized that this same exact helmet that I had was being sold by many different companies with just the color scheme changed or company logo added, and they were all being sold from anywhere between $35 to around $50. Kind of like how companies can buy mass produced pens or t-shirts and just have their company name put on it.
What really shocked me is when I was looking at Longevities list of helmets and to my surprise there it was listed as their "Elite" series. I couldn't believe that the same piece of junk helmet that I bought for $45 dollars on ebay is being sold for $217 on their site just because it has the Longevity logo on it.
Buyer beware.

with mixer cream together 3/4 cup unsalted butter
and 1 cup of packed brown sugar til light and fluffy
blend in 2 eggs and 1/2 cup dark molasses with the mixer
by hand, with a spoon, add 1/2 heaping tsp nutmeg
1 heaping tsp ginger
1 heaping tsp cinnamon
1 heaping teaspoon espresso sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt (if you use salted butter decrease to 1/2 teaspoon)
2 1/2 cups unsifted flour
chill for an hour in the fridge or stick in the freezer for 10 minutes for easier handling
roll dough into melon ball sized shapes (spraying a little Pam type cooking spray on your hands makes this less messy) and roll in more espresso sugar (I used about 2 and 1/2 ounces total). Do NOT flatten before baking, they flatten as they cool. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, let sit on pan a minute after you take it from the oven before removing them to a wire rack. They should appear slightly underdone and soft when you remove them. but will harden some as they cool.
Makes about thirty 3 and a 1/2 inch cookies.

Some of you might have noticed the temporary new banner on the right column of this website. SXJapan, what is that?
Many of you might know my passion about Japan and its related technologies, startups and innovations. Lots can be said. Lots can be admired. Lots can be criticized. In the end, the market stays an amazingly interesting one, in terms of lessons than can be learned.
Now, since I'm traveling quite a bit, I see that many people have a fascination for Japan but don't know much -not to say nothing at all- about the country. The conversations are usually limited to the usual basic comments and preconceptions in the market. Like me a few years ago. I was totally clueless, locked in my vague assumptions.
Having attended my first South By SouthWest (SXSW) Interactive last year, one of the biggest technology conference in the world -the one that saw the rise of the likes of Twitter or Foursquare-, I thought that having a panel focused on Japan would be more than appropriate.
Mobile is surely one of the major trend that Japan experienced before any other country in the world. The lead in technologies might be dwindling to some eyes, but the relative shifts currently experienced, especially in the smartphone field -mostly foreign ones- do put the market in a new light. It is one of the topic that I propose to cover in mid-March 2011.
Here's what I submitted -written in under 5 minutes as I was in a hurry, so please bear with the generalities:
Japan remains a big question mark. Sometimes qualified as strange, sometimes thought as very innovative, often unknown to many. Can you name one Japanese startup? Can you name one Japanese web service that you use? Do you know Facebook is almost inexistent there? With the recent successes of Twitter (almost 20% of worldwide tweets are in Japanese), the iPhone (shaking a very insular mobile market), is Japan opening up to the US and the world? Similarly, with Rakuten, the Japanese eBay, acquiring Buy.com & opening offices in the US, but also entering China and elsewhere, are we witnessing a new era of Japanese companies' expansion? Japan remains a land of opportunities. A country where innovative models are popping up every day. Let's learn about Japan.
SXSW asks people to submit their ideas for panels, then a committee choses those deemed interesting enough to go to the next stage. I was lucky enough to see my panel selected. What is the next stage? A voting by the general public. You, in short.
So, yeah, I'm fishing for your votes.
To better understand what I'm doing here, I've created a mini-site explaining, both in Japanese and English: SXJapan.com [Twitter / Facebook]
It includes information on how to vote (yes, that does require registration, but it's both simple and spam-free). If you feel like it, you can even vote directly by going to the official panel page.
So, I know, it's quite egocentric to believe that you might be interested in voting for a conference you might not even attend. And that, in some ways, I'd be personally put in the spotlight by leading its organization.
I'm aware of those shortcomings and I'll try to be as open as possible in terms of what comes out of it.
I don't know what liberty the SXSW committee will give me on the choice of the panelists. I want to put the spotlight on them. I want to get at least two Japanese in there, since it shouldn't be a gaijin thing or whatever, but it will all depend on who actually makes it there.
I'll also try to organize a social -and informal- gathering of those making it to Austin from Japan next March. Mixed with those who have a genuine interest in the market or have activities in it. No idea how and when for now, I'll readily admit it.
I would like to thank Masato Kogure for blogging it in Japanese about it and those of you who have already tweeted it out, you know who you are.
Any feedback -and criticism- would actually be appreciated. There are ideas or topics I might not think about and even if the panel schedule will limit the coverage, I'm hoping to be as thorough as possible. Or you feel I'm just a douche and you'd like to tell it to me.
There are less than three days to vote.
I'm genuinely appreciative of anyone who'll make the effort. Thank you.

Space Telescope Science Institute
A new analysis of Hubble surveys, including the All-Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey (AEGIS), the Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS), and the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS), combined with simulations of galaxy interactions, reveals that the merger rate of galaxies over the last 8 billion to 9 billion years falls between previous estimates.
The galaxy merger rate is one of the fundamental measures of galaxy evolution, yielding clues to how galaxies bulked up over time through encounters with other galaxies. And yet, a huge discrepancy exists over how often galaxies coalesced in the past. Earlier measurements of galaxies in deep-field surveys made by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope generated a broad range of results: anywhere from 5 percent to 25 percent of the galaxies were merging. Results from this new study are accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.

With the world of print journalism in decline, plenty of news organisations have been betting big on the concept of mobile apps for delivering digital news. But maybe that's not such a good idea.
A new Pew Research Center study shows that people are moving away from consuming news via mobile apps, with over 60 per cent opting to read news through a browser instead. That's up sharply from just a year ago, when the figure was 40 per cent.
Which begs the question, how do you read news on the move? Do you have a strong affiliation with a single publication's app? Or do you flit between websites to get your fix? [Pew via Forbes ]
