If This Ain't Classic NPR, I Don't Know What Is-Good Stewardship Is Hard To Find
I've probably projected some of my own prejudices onto this simple story of a man returning to natural urban environments and natural ink-making technologies:
Jason Logan's new book, "Make Ink: A Forager's Guide to Natural Inkmaking," demystifies the process of making ink from the surrounding world. https://t.co/2Zn3eJZmMD

Classic NPR? 1. Romanticized 'Back To Nature' theme. Who-needs-an-ink-store? collectivist, vaguely anti- market hippie primitivism 2. Hero-tale. Explorer leaves fallen world, bringing new knowledge to new urban peoples, perhaps atoning for secular sins while seeking the 'Self.' https://t.co/Bvr5PAGykM

If urban people possess no ink, can they be said to live in an 'Art Desert?'
On that note, I'd like to extend a naturally grown, non-GMO Olive Branch to anyone in the humanities seeking good stewardship of the books, poems and works of art that might mean something to you. Maybe it's just me, but I'm worried some of these ideological true-belivers (cultists, really) have taken over many university sinecures and popular liberal publications (The Atlantic, The New Yorker).
Like you, I just want to read a good poem now and again, and frankly, I know it's not cheap (no, I'm not asking for money), but it shouldn't be this costly.
Hippie idealism can be woven into a thread of philosophical idealism which can provide some direction as to that thorny old question of: 'Why should I read this stupid old poem, anyways?'
'Just because, man' is probably a better answer than: 'For the coming revolution, comrade' or to 'to smash the Patriarchy, believe all women and destroy all men.'
Interesting paper presented by Erika Kiss, beginning about minute 32:00 (the whole conference is likely worth your time for more knowledge on Oakeshott).
According to Kiss, Oakeshott's non-teleological, non-purposive view of education is potentially a response to Friedrich Hayek, Martha Nussbaum, and Allan Bloom, in the sense that all of these thinkers posit some useful purpose or outcome in getting a liberal education.
Hayek's profound epistemological attack on rationalist thought is still a system itself, and attaches learning to market-based processes which eventually drive freedom and new thinking in universities. The two are mutually dependent to some extent.
Nussbaum attaches liberal learning to ends such as making us 'Aristotelian citizens of the world', or better citizens in a democracy, which has struck me as incomplete at best.
Allan Bloom is profoundly influenced by Straussian neo-classicism, and wants love, classical learning, honor and duty to perhaps be those reasons why a young man or woman should read the classics. This, instead of crass commercialism, the influences of popular music, deconstructionism and logical positivism.

James Lileks:
'I share many of the New Urbanist ideas for cities, but I can't cast my lot in with the group because they are screwball-daft when the subject of cars comes up, and will entertain any inconvenience as long as it's anti-car. I don't want to ride a got-damned bicycle to work. Most people don't. Period.'

"Living in that tiny space made my life so much bigger," Cohen told The Post. "My book is about living the life you want in whatever size you choose — it's not just about learning to live smaller, but smarter."
The simple life has its appeal.
Of course, individual choice eventually comes into conflict with planned communities and group obligations, to say nothing of taxes and regulations borne by other individuals…
I'm guessing Seattle's Yesler Terrace project is still mostly pipe-dream, but if elected, I promise a social-worker, a community garden, full kindergarten empowerment and adult employment in every cell block:
'The new neighborhood will bring together people from many walks of life, ethnic backgrounds and income levels. Partnerships will help strengthen the social fabric of the community by providing open spaces and community centers for gathering, and programs to increase health, academic achievement and economic opportunity.'
At the New Urbanist website:
"Only when humans are again permitted to build authentic urbanism — those cities, towns, and villages that nurture us by their comforts and delights — will we cease the despoiling of Nature by escaping to sprawl."
As previously posted:
Whatever your thoughts on sprawl, here are some of the groups, who, in my opinion, are involved:
–Greens and activists who want to control and regulate the energy sector according to their understanding of nature. Or they at least will control much lawmaking and the political process through activism, while directing massive amounts of federal taxpayer money to developing this vision (chosen and controlled by politicians whom they favor). Whatever's going on with the climate, they're usually willing to overlook the political waste, corruption, higher costs of gas and basic services and fewer jobs that could make us like Europe, without many of the benefits.
–The products of modernism and modernist architecture. Some modernists believe in utopian and semi-utopian visions of the future, or simply, a better world where people should be rounded up and live happily according the visions of a few artists, architects, and city-planners. They don't like the suburbs too much.
–Collectivists, humanists and multicultural types who like a broad, 'equality of outcome,' definition of democracy and believe there will be room for everyone, all races and classes, in the new urban environment (more like European social democrats) if just the right people are in charge.
–Anyone with a monied, career or professional, personal or identity-based stake in this vision.
Bob Zubrin pointed out the problems of environmentalism, and the authoritarian impulses behind many environmentalist goals and methods, which I've applied to the urbanists in parentheses below:
After the utopian dreams fade, and when the money runs-out, you often just end-up with a movement which further Left types will use to gain leverage, as in Europe:
1. There isn't enough to go around (suburbs waste resources like gas, electricity, and materials in addition to lost productivity and time)
2. Human nature needs to be constrained as a result (Trains, buses and bikes are the preferred method of transportation instead of cars…while apartments, co-ops and living units instead of houses in the suburbs are the places to live)
3. Someone needs to be in charge (Someone like Bloomberg, or similarly paternalistic leaders are ok as long as they line up with the message and enforce the right laws from the top down)
4. We volunteer ourselves for the job (Someone's got to build a vision of the future, and the vision of the artist or architect, or city planners for example, may be enough for the rest of us to live in much like occurs in modernist architecture).
If you've been following current cultural trends, there's been some native New Yorker pushback against the hipsters in Williamsburg. These urban dwellers often arrive from the suburbs, moving to urban centers in search of identity, group meaning, and membership with a kind of collectivist, artistic, modernist to postmodernist impulse that lines up with urbanism. They are changing our culture in many ways.
See Also: Briton Roger Scruton perhaps also wants America to be more like Europe, less rootless, wasteful, and tramping the flowers.

Update & Repost: Some Links On 5Pointz, Graffiti, & The Arts–Property Rights & The Rule-Of-Law
February 14, 2018 February 14, 2018 / chr1	/ Leave a comment
Apparently graffiti art does have a price, and it may be much more than $$$:
Ruling that graffiti — a typically transient form of art — was of sufficient stature to be protected by the law, a federal judge in Brooklyn awarded a judgment of $6.7 million on Monday to 21 graffiti artists whose works were destroyed in 2013 at the 5Pointz complex in Long Island City, Queens.
Would you be willing to undermine property-rights and the rule-of-law?
NY Curbed had original 5Pointz coverage here.
A NY Times beat reporter shared in the suffering of those graffiti artists whose 5pointz canvas was whitewashed in preparation for demolition by owner Jerry Wolkoff.
'One street artist, who would give his name only as Just, had at least two works painted over. He spent hours early Tuesday gazing at the whitewashed buildings, leaning against a red-brick wall across the street. Then he bought himself a tall glass of beer, which he sipped slowly from a brown paper bag.
"Heartbreaking," he said. "This is not just about graffiti — it's about the unity of people who met here from all over the world." He paused and took a drink. "That's what really hurts."
Three photos and some backstory here. 5pointz had become something of a graffiti mecca, arguably more than the sum of its parts:
Once the real-estate market began heating-up in NYC, Wolkoff decided to whitewash his building overnight..
Every bit of graffiti scrawled there over 40-years was at his discretion.
Personally, I don't take pleasure in the erasing of people's hard work and creativity, nor in the breaking-up of a graffiti-collective which traveled far and wide to get to 5pointz, nor even in the iconic stature they gave the place, but David Thompson sums it up pretty well:
'The moral of the story, gentlemen, is buy your own canvas'
The pathos in the Times article stops short of a familiar 'art will unite all races, classes, & genders,' type of Leftist political ideology.
I"m getting a sense that even should graffiti become a longer-lasting vehicle for artistic expression, beyond the street, it likely began for many non-taggers possibly in affect, driven by ideology, or the boredom and rebellion of the suburbs and people looking for some meaning in their lives.
What are they overlooking? What are they looking for? What do the people looking at the work might think they're looking at?
Or perhaps it would have been better to celebrate the way street-culture and graffiti has interacted with money and market forces through tourism. 5pointz arguably was a tourism draw.
From The Times piece:
'Though street art is meant to be temporary, 5Pointz became known as a graffiti museum. And the medium itself, once considered a symbol of urban unraveling, became a sought after gallery-worthy commodity, with work from street artists like Banksy commanding millions of dollars. Which is one of the reasons the whitewashing of 5Pointz's walls was greeted with such vociferous dismay. "What?! What did they do?!" cried a tour guide named Hans Von Rittern, as he raced out of a tour bus early Tuesday, his arms wide, his face crumpling as soon as he caught sight of Ms. Flaguel. They embraced tightly and wept.'
I can think of some possible messages being sent by the law:
–You don't have to work and own something to have ownership in it (normalizing a collectivism which rejects the property-rights of others…thus your property rights as well…for what's to stop the next guy from tagging over your tag?). Someone else owns all this building anyways, so screw him, and screw the guy who came before me too.
–The value of artistic creation is yet again associated with money in the modern world (partially out of guilt, I suspect), and not so much with self-expression, technique, craft, freedom, and moments which can elevate and expand, offering meaning within a process.
–The criminality associated with graffiti is also tactily rewarded/overlooked by a court of law (there are real victims to the kinds of activity that can accompany tagging). I would much rather have lawmakers and law enforcers hold a simple line, rather than set the wrong incentives.
It can't have been a good day for those who lost something. It's hard out there.
Here's a video:
More broadly, romanticizing the logic of the street, and taggers, comes with its own risks. Celebrate the spirit of creative lawlessness and turf warfare with the full acceptance that there ain't much law involved. I'm sure 5pointz served as an escape, and a positive environment for many, but all the other things going on in these neighborhoods aren't so uplifting, hence, it's importance.
That's right Banksy, it's still a tagger's world:

Theodore Dalrymple: 'The Soviet Way'
'Increasingly in our daily lives we find ourselves in analogous situations, especially if we have the misfortune to work for bureaucracies, whether governmental, quasi-governmental, supposedly independent, or commercial. We must not only keep silent about propositions that we find not only false but ridiculous, but assent to them, to show willingness and demonstrate that we are (to use a vile modern locution, redolent of a tyranny exercised over us) on message. The message must never be of our own devising, or indeed attributable to anyone in particular. It must be absurd and unassailable at the same time.'
Wit, irony, satire, skepticism and independence of mind can be problematic: Many activists have doctrinal interests, motivating and organizing political ideals within which solidarity, identity, friendship and life's purpose can be found. Like all forms of belief (gathered around the doctrines), most people aren't satisfied most of the time, so seeking influence within political institutions, universities, and various other cultural pulpits is required to bring about the ideal world to come.
'Conversations' must be had to spread the gospels of social justice, equality, and ideal, harmonious societies. Protests must express the will of 'the People'. The poorest, most wretched, most unjustly treated victims (genuine and less genuine) must be held up as proof of systemic injustice and championed as allies in the fight against oppression.
If you, dear reader, can't be made to properly understand the truth and knowledge the activist offers; the profound suffering and injustice of the world of which you are a part (and which can be made whole through activism), you will continue as the heathen you are: Unjust, falsely conscious, selfish, polluting, and privileged (racist, sexist, classist etc.)
From Rolling Stone a while back, on Mayor Bill de Blasio of NYC, who was recently re-elected:
'After attending graduate school at Columbia University, where he studied Latin American politics, de Blasio took a job as a political organizer at the Quixote Center, a social-justice organization rooted in radical Catholic liberation theology, and later engaged in protests designed to raise awareness about U.S. foreign policy. "I'm a big believer in street theater," he says.'
Ah, well.
From a Thomas Sowell piece, the Legacy Of Eric Hoffer:
'Hoffer said: "The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause."
People who are fulfilled in their own lives and careers are not the ones attracted to mass movements: "A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding," Hoffer said. "When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business."
What Hoffer was describing was the political busybody, the zealot for a cause — the "true believer," who filled the ranks of ideological movements that created the totalitarian tyrannies of the 20th century.'
Robert Conquest At The Hoover Institution: 'When Goodness Won'
On Andrei Sakharov:
'The events of the long struggle in the Soviet Union between the despots and the "dissidents," in which Andrei Sakharov played such a great role, were well described in his Memoirs, which appeared in English in 1990, and in the accounts of his valiant wife, Elena Bonner. But here we have the other side of the story: the long secret records kept by the KGB and submitted to the state and party leadership. And these documents are skillfully put into the larger context by an extensive and useful introduction by Joshua Rubenstein.'
'Another large misapprehension about the nature of the Soviet and similar regimes was that the "planned economy" meant something real. There was also, among progressives in the West, the idea that the "bourgeoisie" were a natural enemy of the forward-looking, adolescent intelligentsia, and that the "capitalists" were the natural enemies. There is a historical context for these sinister myths. British ambassadors to Russia in the late eighteenth century had noted that entrepreneurs had to seek the quick ruble because at any moment the state might confiscate their investments. And at the opposite pole of Russian society, the peasantry was fixed on the need to deceive the authorities to whom they were subservient—up to, and provoking, violent rural risings.'
Ha!:
"Those teach who can't do" runs the dictum,
But for some even that's out of reach:
They can't even teach—so they've picked 'em
To teach other people to teach.
Then alas for the next generation,
For the pots fairly crackle with thorn.
Where psychology meets education
A terrible bullshit is born.'
Many people still can't handle how bad Communism was on the ground, and fewer these days are looking to keep the ideology up in the air, partly thanks to Conquest and his labors:
Some Links On That 'Community Of Nations'-North Korea And The Use Of Force
July 29, 2017 August 4, 2017 / chr1	/ 2 Comments
From Millenial Transmissions-'John Stuart Mill Predicts Soviet Communism'
Well, predictions are hard, especially about the future…:
I'll just pull part of the quote:
'The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it; and a State which postpones the interests of their mental expansion and elevation, to a little more of administrative skill, or of that semblance of it which practice gives, in the details of business; a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes, will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished; and that the perfection of machinery to which it has sacrificed everything, will in the end avail it nothing, for want of the vital power which, in order that the machine might work more smoothly, it has preferred to banish."
Mill provided a fairly comprehensive underlying moral philosophy as to why to individual liberty should be championed; deep reasons as to how you should live and what you should do towards these ends.
It's odd that some in the West look upon the post-ish-Communist landscape (China, Russia, North Korea) and merely see States not sufficiently included within 'the community of nations.' This, rather than seeing States with vastly different, and often competing traditions and interests than ours, and who are still often crushing individual liberty underfoot.
It must be said that such folks in the West harbor deep sympathies with Communist collectivist ideological constructs themselves, or at least a kind of one-world secular idealism which sees any use of force as illegitimate (often on the way to radical and revolutionary freedom, or perhaps…something more like a global collective).
As you've noticed, there's still a thoroughly bankrupt, totalitarian regime on the path to deliverable nukes in North Korea (yes it still possesses a reasonably competent military seeking all aspects of nuclear delivery…for all the worst reasons).
Force and the threat of force are still on the table, but now there appear to be fewer good options in the halls of American power.
From The Atlantic (complete with a standard underlying suspicion of all ideas realist and nationalist):
'Kim Jong Un must be made to understand that, under no uncertain terms, can he ever use his nuclear weapons; doing so would mean the end of North Korea. Whether the United States likes it or not, the country now poses a clear strategic threat, and it must be treated as such.'
America has a soft and hard power game to play in the Asian theater in order to foster the kinds of freedom that lead to greater trade, understanding and knowledge, as I see it. Self-interest is often a reasonably honest, and reliable guide.
For even if we apply Mill's thinking to the South Koreans, the Japanese, and the Chinese, depending on circumstances, individuals with whom we deal may not return the favor, especially with their own interests and obligations to the traditions, governments, and institutions of which they are a part.
In the meantime, the mess that is North Korea sits on their doorsteps, after all, and seeks to increase its scope to our shores.
A previous piece here.
Via Readers-Two North Korea Links
What are some things China might have to gain and lose from a still-existing North Korean regime?
Some people have a lot of experience with this problem:
Even if there were a global collective and community of nations honoring every single human-rights bill and charter it would still use force and the threat of force…I should think.
So much for ideals of peace and harmony promised? (delivery from history and much of our own natures).
Where are we headed, here?
As previously posted: Richard Epstein 'Barack vs. Bibi:' takes the classical liberal, non anti-war libertarian position (regarding Obama):
'In the end, it is critical to understand that the current weaknesses in American foreign policy stem from the President's adamant reluctance to commit to the use of American force in international relations, whether with Israel, Iran or with ISIS. Starting from that position, the President has to make huge unilateral concessions, and force his allies to do the same thing. Right now his only expertise is leading from behind. The President has to learn to be tough in negotiations with his enemies. Right now, sadly, he has demonstrated that toughness only in his relationships with America's friends and allies.'

Free For Me, But Not For Thee-Some Links On Speech
February 26, 2017 / chr1	/ Leave a comment
It might be useful to tease-out the actual historical legacy of suffering, injustice and grievance from the ideology, victimhood and 'empowerment' of some people pursuing their interests in endless protest. When political ideology foments and amplifies injustice into 'free speech for me, but not for thee,' it's not hard to see there will be problems with the speech of everyone (or at least problem enough with more established Constitutional protections on speech).
In my estimation, the incentives for activist rabble-rousing (addition: less truth and fact, more mob-sustained anger) will only be diminished when the current political-cycle changes, and when enough Americans decide they can be decent, moral people while quietly rejecting the softly radical activism, anti-establishmentarianism, and yes, moral exploitation of guilt by their political leaders into policies with which they might disagree.
From my perspective, many media outlets and academic institutions are hip-deep in tacit approval of such radical and semi-radical ideas (it's always 1968 somewhere), so there's a lot of core identity, pride, conviction, political power, and money on the line.
In fact, with all the technological and economic forces at work on our lives at the moment, I don't expect our political debates to be reasonably civil anytime soon, aside from these dynamics.
Walter Russell Mead:
'In a 2013, the Office for Civil Rights in Education—a federal agency formally charged with protecting students from unlawful harassment, but which appears to have effectively gone rogue under new, far-left leadership over the last five years—declared that universities needed to investigate and possibly punish students for making comments that other students find "unwelcome," even if those comments were protected by the First Amendment.'
Two older, but likely worthwhile links:
Brendan O'Neill At Spiked: 'Why We Must Fight For Free Speech For People We Loathe:'
'A true devotee of freedom of speech says, 'Let everyone speak, because it is important that all sides are heard and that the public has the right to use their moral muscles and decide who they trust and who they don't'. The new, partial campaigners for friends' speech effectively say, 'Let my friend speak. She is interesting. She will tell the public what they need to hear.' These are profoundly different positions, the former built on liberty and humanism, the latter motored by a desire to protect oneself, and oneself alone, from censorship. The former is free speech; the latter 'me speech'.

You might have noticed those tiles already look a little drab and dated, even though construction only finished a few years ago.
The above mural is part of the new Capitol Hill light-rail station on Broadway.
More here on the piece (apologies to all comic/graphic artists ahead of time, for not portraying your craft with as much fidelity as it probably deserves).
Our muraliste is a comic/graphic artist tapped to make signs and symbols for all the Community:
'Forney, originally from Philadelphia…landed the light rail station gig back in 2008 after submitting a series of paintings of hands in provocative positions to Sound Transit — paintings which had originally been featured in the 2007 Seattle Erotic Art Festival. The series was called Big Fuckin' Hands.'
Get it? They're hands, and they're…well…you know.

These public projects tend to become repositories for all the hopes and sacrifices people around here make for the '-Isms' (counter-culture anti-establishmentarianism, vaguely warmed over socialism, environmentalism, radical collectivism, activism of all stripes etc.).
Many people don't always know what they're for, exactly, but it's often easy to tell what they're against, and it's you should you choose to play the bad guy in their passion-play.
Fascist!
Don't try and make too much sense of it: Cargo-Cult thinking is often in effect when it comes to the economics of these projects: The cost, numbers, budgets etc. usually come later. First seems to be the solidarity, the 'sacredness' and the tiny shrines which have sprung up this past century around which people gather in common cause.

Speech And The Desire To Control The Language, Thoughts And Minds Of Others-Jordan Peterson Talking With Gad Saad
November 17, 2016 December 2, 2016 / chr1	/ Leave a comment
We are seeing some people in the social sciences use quantitative methodologies to try and understand what's been going on in many universities, with regard to political philosophy, ideology, and collectivist movements.
The modern fields of psychology, evo and moral psychology, sociology, economics, etc all now seem to have practitioners addressing some threats that (R)eason enthroned can pose to all of our liberties, or at least, the radical and revolutionary ideologues who often profess Reason/Anti-Reason as their guide; seeking immediate social change and influence.
What kinds of people join social justice movements and believe/claim to believe righteously and truly in such causes? How much of what they say is true?
How might they fit into a broader framework of '-isms,' often seeking radical equality (of outcome) and collective liberation from dominatory oppression? What potential cost is there to all of our liberties, traditions, and institutions regarding this particular raft of ideas?
Intellectually, as this blog has noted, there is often a watered-down Hegelianism at work in many movements seeking radical and revolutionary freedom (the master/slave dialectic and the absolute idealism providing intellectual foundation for much of what is called cultural relativism these days, which provided foundation for the Marxism and post-Marxism found in such movements).
Here's Peterson being questioned by a group as to the merits of his ideas:
As to demands for the use of non-gendered pronouns (which is currently trending): I will say that I have sympathy for people on the margins, people with few options and not many opportunities, people who face uphill battles, and sometimes genuine threats of physical violence.
That said, I don't enjoy the idea of playing a game I can't win. More speech, not less, is the means to arrive at more truth. Allowing the people you actually fear the freedom to express their ideas allows more sunlight into civil society. I loathe the use of force and the desire to control the thoughts, language and minds of others.
I loathe it even more when it is used as part of a program which attacks our institutions and the legitimate authority required to maintain our institutions, and thus, many of our freedoms.
I most loathe it when it is used to treat other individuals as objects of scorn and oppression, or to shout them down in righteous anger.
Have you learned nothing?
***One rebuttal to the above, of course, would be Hayekian: There is no knowledge that would allow any person or group of persons to centrally plan a language any more than there is knowledge for anyone to centrally plan an economy (yes, you can compile a dictionary a la Samuel Johnson but, no, Esperanto is probably something of a top-down, rationalistic pipe-dream).
As to those Canadian Human Rights Commissions, as previously posted:
Here are {Ezra} Levant's opening statements during his investigation:
Levant was fighting what he saw as an infringement upon his freedom of speech by the Human Rights Commission of Alberta. As editor of the Western Standard, Levant published the Danish cartoons of Mohammed, and found himself investigated by, in his words, "a kangaroo court."
Originally, a letter was written by Syed Soharwardy, an imam living in Alberta, to the Alberta Human Rights Commission. Soharwardy claimed that the cartoons were morally offensive to the religion of Islam. Levant believed his decision to publish the cartoons was protected by Canadian law, and that Soharwardy found a path to legal action (at the expense of Canadian taxpayers) through the Human Rights Commission because no one else would take Soharwardy's claims seriously.
One of Levant's main concerns seems to be the the way in which someone like Soharwardy, (with unchallenged religious beliefs, and illiberal ideas of social freedom), has infringed upon his freedoms through an institution like the Alberta Human Rights Commission.
Heading towards a theme, here's Mark Steyn discussing complaints brought against Macleans, Canada's largest publication, by the President of the Canadian Islamic Congress (who sent three representatives) to TVOntario. They were upset at the pieces Steyn had published there. The complaints went through the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal for alleged "Islamophobia" and "promoting hate:"
Pretty heated.
Again, the focus here is not whether Islam is a religion whose followers would eventually clash with the idea of separation of church and state, and/or identify with a larger global pan-Muslim population at the expense of their adopted countries. That's a different debate. We know that here in America, they are granted a space created by our Constitution for freedom of religion in the public square and no specific religious test for office. They must follow our laws and are protected by them. Living and working alongside one another has its benefits and I generally favor the melting pot approach.
The debate here focuses on the effect that multiculturalism, the human rights crowd, and the public sentiment behind them can have upon freedom of expression when Human Rights Commissions are allowed legal recourse to settle this kind of dispute. This is one of the consequences of those ideas in action, and it's not exactly liberal. It's the multicultural solution, and it can be absolutely chilling on speech, placing onerous financial burdens on citizens, and it can create a sort of shadow court with aims of its own (if not jurisdiction) operating alongside the regular courts.
We're not anywhere near Choudary territory yet, but remember that Nidal Hasan, the Ft. Hood shooter, had some problems with "workplace violence". Most multiculturalists really don't see a problem with their approach.
***A friend points out that the illiberal tendencies of the Muslim complainants in both cases and the illiberalism of the multiculturalists is a good fit. Just don't be a Canadian on the receiving end.
***This also helps to confirm the libertarian contention that libertarians are the true classical liberals, and modern liberalism has followed the logic of moral relativism, a lot of Continental, New Left, neo-Marxist influences in feminism and race theory which lead to an unhealthy desire to control and be controlled by the State, which will grow larger and larger.

A Far-Left Resurgence In Ol' Blighty: Counter-Cultural Tides At Home
December 31, 2015 January 1, 2016 / chr1	/ 3 Comments
Clive Crook at Bloomberg had some reasonable advice for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party in Britain:
'You heard me. A modern party of the left doesn't need to be anti-capitalist. Concern for social justice, equality of opportunity and even (up to a point) equality of outcome don't require a belief in the innate wickedness of capitalism.'
Neo-liberalism would be nice, of course; many hardened types on the Left morphing into more compromising, dirigiste, Statist social democrats. It's easy to imagine (if you try) realpolitik humanists capable of prevention and intervention abroad, rather than the usual post-Enlightenment apologism for dictators, and/or during times of crisis, conspicuous silence, unless returning to the 'peaceful' moral high ground against all ideological enemies.
Market forces could be useful in pursuing such desired ends, after all, rather than many anti-capitalist, totalitarian, true-believin' ideologues one so often finds.
Yet, here we are, and here's Corbyn's home page. It's almost as if failed theories of history and the ideologues committed to them keep rising anew…
The Monarchy's still around, even as a figurehead. Some real, faded, Red ideologues are still around, too.
Possibly relevant quote via Chaos Manor:
'Freedom is not free. Free men are not equal. Equal men are not free. '
Another from Karl Popper:
"…and if there could be such a thing as socialism combined with individual liberty, I would be a socialist still. For nothing could be better than living a modest, simple, and free life in an egalitarian society. It took some time before I recognized this as no more than a beautiful dream; that freedom is more important that equality; that the attempt to realize equality endangers freedom; and that, if freedom is lost, there will not even be equality among the unfree."
Here at home, Charlie Martin reminds us that there's no free lunch. When you offer sick people other people's money to buy insurance, and generally offer healthy people only higher premiums and relatively fewer options, you haven't really understood the basic concept of insurance:
'I won't go into great detail about how insurance works here. I've done it before, both laying it out mathematically and in a little parable appropriate to the season. The basic thing is that insurance is a bet: you bet someone that something bad is going to happen, and that someone takes the bet.'
As previously posted, but relevant:
Why have large numbers of people from the suburbs and small towns been migrating to Brooklyn, for example, seeking to make what they do what they love, engaging in the creative process and almost fetishizing the idea of 'craft'?
Below are the Mast brothers, taking the hipster ethos into the business and branding of themselves as chocolate-makers, along with an entirely 'old-timey' aesthetic. Few chocolate-makers take pains to mention Mark Twain & Ralph Waldo Emerson in their promo videos:
I've been thinking that upon examination, hipsterdom (not necessarily the Mast Brothers) may reveal DNA strands of previous American counter-culture movements: Some hipsters have adopted milder forms of the bohemianism and cultural withdrawal of the Beats, others the collectivism, activism and 'social conscience' of the Hippies (along with many tenets of the feminist and environmentalist movements). Some others still the disposable income and professional ambition of Yuppies (see: Park Slope).
Overall, in terms of political philosophy, I'm guessing such strands would most likely unite under a rather standard-issue secular-liberal humanism or post new-Democrat alliance (how tolerant such a voting bloc would be of progressive activism, redistributionism, and true radicalism remains to be seen when the chips are down).
Throw in some postmodernist art-theory and nihilist performance artists seeking human connection in the meaningless void, such as Matthew Silver, and we may be getting somewhere (apologies if I've unfairly reduced you to a bit part in a bad theory…such are the wages of cultural criticism in the blogosphere).
Another explanation I've heard floated is that hipsterdom is partially the product of the everyone-gets-a-trophy generation. Everyone's a special snowflake. Every minute of every day can be planned and some parents are still hovering like crazy in the lives of their children. The Self-Esteem movement can then loom large in the rather rarefied atmospheres that some kids have grown-up in.
How to live, what to do?
Where to find meaning, purpose and connection?
Perhaps many people making American businesses run are more likely to respond to the language of psychology and pop-psychology, neuroscience and pop-neuroscience, literature, ethics gurus and even the kinds of self-help books to be found on Oprah, whatever wisdom and truths they may contain.
Or, at least this stuff is bigger business these days.
As for Emerson, and the transcendentalist, perhaps even somewhat pragmatist, search for the Stern Fact & Sad Self, I suspect it will still figure heavily in American life and culture for quite some time.
Let me know what I'm missing.
***In terms of starting some kind of business or appealing to popular sentiment, I would recommend the safe option of a time-lapse a video of the stars, adding some quotes about living in a globalized world, the importance of (S)cience, (A)rt, people and progress, then some background indie music and you may well have a Kickstarter campaign.

A Testamemt To My Cluelessness	Wish me well.
I have been following your blogs, but by the time I get to them pretty much all the comments I would think up have been taken, and if they haven't, what I want to say is more my own thing than anything to do with yours. Here is proof.
I turned 44 last week. I think it was the best birthday in my adulthood. I am pretty content to be my age. The Sunday before, my brother offered to ride in the car with me to meet my ex and exchange kids. We got to talk for five hours. We hadn't spent that much time alone together since, well I suppose sometime in the 80s. I lamented about how I was having problems with general maintenance in my house.
I came around the corner in my hall later that week to find my brother looking at my front doorknob which had cost $89 and wasn't working. He fixed my air compressor hose by unscrewing a thing. Then he hung my curtain rods and generally puttered around. My cousin mailed me some grass seeds from Minnesota, the kids got me a Pete the Cat shirt, and my boyfriend wrote me a four page love letter. It was a great day. Then I came home later to find my brother had replaced my garage door opener. For free. He is a jewel. I wish he didn't live in Texas.
So when we met my ex on Sunday, the kids boiled out of his pickup and told me a state trooper had pulled my ex over because another driver had turned him in for swerving. My ex leaned in my window (I think) to yell at me because I bet he thought I had turned him in. When he saw my brother he didn't say a word. (It had never occurred to me to turn him in, although I know the plate # and where he should be on the road.) The cop apparently saw all the kids and thought, "nobody in his right mind is drinking while driving these lovely children down the interstate," and didn't search for alcohol containers. Because he would have found them, empty and full. So close.
One of our patrons (the one I voted most likely to be jumped by me if his doctor-wife were to die in a tragic accident) published a book. I read the first two chapters on Amazon and got the rest to read on my iPad tonight. It is written for the 9-12 age group. I looked up the publisher, and I don't think it is a vanity press, but what I have read so far seems a little awkward. Not bad, but not quite "right." I dunno. I am a little worried to read the rest of it because if he asks me a direct question about it I can't lie.
That won't be a problem for a while because I need to finish "Life After Life" before book group tomorrow night and I started "Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography," which is really funny. Revealing? Probably not, but for someone who missed Doogie Howser because I was in college and not watching TV in my spare time then I haven't seen "How I Met Your Mother" because I never started watching it, I guess I am an open slate when it comes to him, except that it is a great premise for a book. I am reading it straight through mostly because I don't want to miss anything, but you can hop all over the place if you want. It has several places where if you make a bad decision he ends up working at Schlotzki's Deli.
A young woman came into the library and was hanging around because she used to work there and didn't have anything to do at home. It came out that she is really smart (most people who work in libraries are) and she said she would tutor my daughters in math. I am seriously thinking of taking her up on it. This homework thing takes a two hour chunk out of my night.
I am off to a soak in the tub with Ursula. G'night.
Keep the boyfriend. It is much easier to hire someone to fix stuff than to find someone to take care of a puking child.
Who is Ursula? The sea witch? It sounds like a good birthday – Having all those things fixed by a competent person sounds like an EXCELLENT present to me! That is definitely one reason I like having Joel around the house – although sometimes things have to reach a critical mass for the repairs to begin! And yes, very handy to have someone to watch the sick child – especially someone who writes 4 page love letters! Any progress on your Mattie (or was it Maggie? now I can't remember) story? I liked what i read!
Ursula is the character in Life After Life. Yeah, I wouldn't trade my brother.
I have never heard of that – I am constantly out of the loop, so much so I actually think I am used to it! Glad you got a good brother – they are awfully nice to have around!

Review: Derren Brown's Ghost Train, Thorpe Park
Opening two months later than a launch date that was already later than convention, Thorpe Park had much to prove with Derren Brown's Ghost Train.
The stakes were also high for Brown himself, after lending his name to a theme park ride for the first time.
He also agreed to issuing statements claiming that the ride represented the future of theme park attractions.
The spin preceding the ride has been approaching that seen in 2010 during the promotion of Alton Towers' Thirteen rollercoaster.
Merlin Entertainments chief executive Nick Varney has also labelled Derren Brown's Ghost Train as a "game changer", while the construction cost has been reported as being £13 million.
Brown has been vocal – and continues to be in the form of a hologram during a pre-show – in his desire that riders keep the attraction's contents secret, so that others can enjoy it.
Since Thirteen, we at Ride Rater have always encouraged people to resist temptation and not read spoilers before they experience things for themselves.
Thirteen's secret element was widely reported
So thanks for visiting, but please bookmark this page and come back after you've been to Thorpe Park for yourself!
While we are in the business of thorough reviews, it is worth noting that we may actually be incapable of revealing many of the ride's secrets at this stage.
The ride incorporates virtually reality and apparently features 12 possible 'scenarios' and two variable endings.
Due to the ride's huge popularity at present, and we rode just the once – so what we describe may well be quite different from what you experience.
SPOILER ALERT: The Review
The ride is housed within a vast building – half brick effect, half wood – adorned with grafitti and partially ripped posters.
Dramatic film-score-like music plays loudly – at points too loudly – in the queue line.
You pass through an infection-screening booth where your photo is taken. You can buy your photo later by reproducing your ticket, but ours showed a different group of people.
As you enter the main building, you watch a pre-show featuring a holographic Brown, who explains how fear and adrenaline work in humans, virtual blackboard and chalk included.
Merlin's trademark odour effect, abundant in Thirteen and its Dungeon attractions, is present as you precede into a large open area which features a full-size Victorian-esque railway carriage seemingly suspended by chains in mid air.
We see a preceding group of riders coming off the train, none of them looking particularly terrified or otherwise emotionally affected, even though they have just completed the experience.
As we board the train, which turns out to be a modern London Underground-style train housed within a Victorian shell, we are impressed at the realism and resemblance to the real thing.
After taking your seat, you place a headset incorporating virtual reality eyepieces and earphones over your head.
The sets require a little adjustment to get the right focus on the screen, but this is helped by a technical message which is displayed before anything happens.
As the experience begins, everyone around you has has suddenly disappeared.
It took us a while to think of turning our heads, but when you look toward each end of the train and see it is completely empty, the effect is somewhat effective in messing with your senses.
The train accelerates to the next station, and there is physical movement of the train combined with the visual cues, which is also effective.
A ghostly Victorian-style figure boards the train at the next station, sitting in front of you and talking to you about "gas down here" while his dog barks anxiously.
He disappears and a demonic girl then lunges at you – clumsily mistimed with leg touches from the staff that have remained on the train with you.
We are soon ushered from the train in a panicky evacuation, being asked to cover our mouths, presumably due to some sort of infection-type back story, or maybe the gas alluded to earlier.
We leave the train and realise that we have moved into a convincing replica tube station, the platform from which you are evacuated and ushered into an underground track junction.
Staff continue to shout as you pass two stationary train fronts in tunnels, while a third tunnel fills with smoke and produces loud sound effects indicating a rapidly approaching train.
Lights of a train move towards you as its horns sound, it almost comes out of the tunnel – of which we are stood in front – and then suddenly disappears, being replaced by monstrous noises which half give the impression of something coming after you.
We are then whisked back into the waiting train at the platform, presumably as some sort of escape effort, refitting our headsets after taking our seats.
The carriage is attacked by the same monster that accompanied Brown in scare-the-public publicity stunts that preceded the ride's opening.
As the train moves forward within the virtual reality environment, the visuals attempt to show a post-apocalyptic city – presumably London – being attacked and torn down by mutant creatures.
Falling debris hits the train and leaves a gaping hole as a creature boards and lunges at you, while a manhole cover lies at your feet.
There is a oddly long period of greyness where nothing is visible other than two distant lights.
The train rocks and eventually falls from its elevated tracks, into a gaping fissure in the ground below.
The rest is a blur and the experience ends suddenly, leaving us to leave the train and be that same group of somewhat emotionally blunted people we saw disembark just a few minutes before.
The ride is confusing in its story. While not quite to the extent of the Nemesis Sub-Terra, the ending we experienced was a little anti-climatic.
The experience is too reliant on virtual reality technology that is just a little too pixelated and low resolution – the CGI is reminiscent of an average video game.
Physical forces of the ride are sadly minimal, but there are numerous moments where you are left trying to work out where you have moved, how the trains have actually travelled and where about in the building you could possibly be.
The ride clever, high-tech and laden with effort, but unfortunately it is not terribly scary.
Its re-rideability remains to be seen, and possibly the other ending and different scenarios are better.
Brown and Varney were right to say that it is unlike anything else that has happened before, but it would be questionable to say that it represents the likely long-term future of thrill-seeker attractions.
As far as scaring and exciting people goes, physicality will endure long after virtual reality has faded into a distant memory.
If Brown was as heavily involved with the concept as has been claimed, he should admit that while his Ghost Train is a good product, it is hardly the greatest thing he has come up with.

NEXT TWO WEEKS COULD BE TOO GOOD
When it comes to races on the mile and a half tracks this season with NASCAR's new rules package for the Cup cars, I thought Texas was entertaining and Kansas even better yet. And it leads me to believe the next two weeks at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Monster Energy Cup Series All-Star race and the Coca-Cola 600 could be too good to be true.
Interestingly, it was a year ago in the 2018 All-Star shootout this package, as a test, hit the track to rave reviews from the fans, NASCAR, and a few, but not all the drivers. It wasn't, however, until last week at Kansas that we saw all the right conditions come together to truly show the potential of all these changes.
I know a significant number of drivers deep down don't like the way they have to race these days, but the lead was swapped 23 times at Kansas, one shy of the total for both of their races last season. The restarts were crazy and who doesn't like seeing cars three, four, and, yes, sometimes five-wide. Kyle Busch saw his chance to set a record by starting the season with 12 straight top-10s go up in smoke when he tried to split the gap between two cars and ran out of real estate on one of the final restarts. Although unsuccessful, it was the type of daring move we wouldn't have seen without this new package. Not to mention, the winner was in doubt almost to the very end.
How did it all add up to make Kansas the best 1.5-mile race we've had this year? First, it was the fifth race on intermediate speedways with this new package and more teams are clearly are getting their set-ups fine-tuned with Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske still at least one step ahead of everybody else. Secondly, having been repaved in 2012 the track still has a ton of grip. Thirdly, the race was run at night with temperatures on the cool side, adding more traction and, as a bonus, we all know the engines love gulping cold air.
That's what has me excited about the next two weekends at CMS. The All-Star race is being run at night and the forecast is calling for temperatures as low as 67 degrees, a little cooler than normal. That means everything is in place, weather-wise, to duplicate Kansas. And although the Coca-Cola 600 starts during the day, they'll run 300 miles or so after the sun goes down with conditions, again, comparable to what we saw last weekend.
Add to all this, the bragging rights to winning what all the teams consider backyard brawls with Charlotte Motor Speedway casting a shadow over where many of NASCAR's top operations call home. Crew members who don't usually get to go to races can attend Charlotte and the same goes for the wives and other family members. It might not be a driver's home track, but for most of their race teams, it certainly is. It certainly intensifies the hype inside the garage. You sense it, you hear it, and you feel it.
Given we had a great all-star race a year ago when nobody knew what to expect, I dare to think it will be even better this time around when everybody has had a chance to tweak their cars, their strategies, and their driving styles. The same goes for the Coca-Cola 600.
So, call me a cock-eyed optimist because I feel we're about to see two exciting weeks of racing in Charlotte. I wouldn't wager the whole farm, but I would put up my barn and three goats. Sorry Sasha, Tasha, and Esmeralda, but don't worry I believe it's a good bet.

Q: CSS Font-weight -unseen differences? I made this simple demo.
I can see in Visual studio , all the values which font-weight can have :

However when I tried all those values, I could locate only 4 distincts.

I added those red rectangles so you can see who has the same width.
why those all in the middle ( and those last) looks the same ?  why do I need all those numbers?

A: This can be either because the font doesn't support so many different weights or the browser can't display those weights.
Regardless, the numbers have to be there because that's how font weights work. If a font does support different weights then it is up to the browser to display it as accurately as it can; otherwise it tries to fall back gracefully to the nearest that's supported.

A: Different fonts have different font weights available to them. Your browser is not attempting to simulate the missing weights (which is a good thing, that is hard to get right), so you are limited to the weights that exist in the installed version of the font you are using.

See our blog about augmented reality for more information about museum trends in 2018. You can check back each week as we highlight more museum trends that we think are important.
Last year, the Los Angeles Natural History museum made a (dad joke alert) big splash when they hosted theBlu, a 6-minute pseudo-underwater VR expedition. During its run, this experience let visitors 'swim' with whales, jellyfish and other sea creatures through sunken ships and coral reefs, without any of the claustrophobia that comes from not being able to breathe air like a normal, above-water person.
The virtual realty experience was created by Wevr, a VR content organization, and added to the LA Natural History Museum lineup as a temporary exhibition. Other museums interested in VR could pursue a similar partnership/licensing approach with a VR content provider.
Or, consider becoming a your own VR content producer: with releases by GoPro and Samsung, among others, the 360 video camera market has gotten significantly more affordable. With these tools, museums could produce and share exhibit previews or behind-the-scenes looks that will keep them top of mind with potential patrons and even increase visitorship.


I love taking photographs; I love reminiscing over shots I've taken, I love the fact that it can take me to places I'd never have gone otherwise and I love the fact that I've found a hobby that has so much to master and perfect. I feel so proud of myself when I get compliments and it's not as noisy as playing the guitar (which I've had to admit to myself, I was pretty crap at, and it annoyed the hell out of the neighbours).
Here's some things I wish I'd known before I started doing this. If I'd known these, I might have got to where I think I am before now, but I'm glad I picked them up along the way.
1. Photography can be a cheap thrill.
Some people get interested and go out and spend £500 or more on a consumer level SLR. Don't be daft. Chase Jarvis's mantra is "the best camera is the one that's with you". You can take a brilliant photo on your mobile phone, you just have to know what it and you are capable of. My first proper camera was a Kodak DX6340 that I got for going to New Zealand in 2003. I loved it and used it for 4 years. It was basic, but I soon figured out how to get the best out of it, without even having to resort to manual. I use a Canon EOS 450D now, and I love it to bits, but only because I know how to use most of it (and I can use manual to get some better results!).
Once you've taken a picture and kick yourself because you know you could have done better – that's the point of no return. You can't give up now – go back and do it again. And again. And again in the evening and again in the morning and again in the snow and again in the rain. Photography, like most of the other arts is about practice.
I had a crisis of confidence twice and thought to myself "All my pictures are terrible, I just can't learn the skills". But I got a little drunk, spent a few minutes cropping and balancing the colours then just went for it and posted it on Flickr. I still don't think it's quite what I wanted, but it's the most popular picture in my photostream by Interestingness. Still doesn't mean I'm any good though.
Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. It's all a big trade off – change one and you'll need to change the others, but you might get a better picture. Once you get down to this level of control you'll start to get some impressive results.
Don't stop; memory and disk space are cheap. I am lucky if I get one picture from each walk and I maybe take 30-40 pictures.
This took me a long time to work out. I tried vignettes, curves, embossing, everything. But the only two things that matter are cropping (which you should be able to do if you take your time taking the picture) and getting your histogram to have an even spread of colours (again – this can be done on camera). Everything else is secondary, if it doesn't help tell your story – this is the most important thing – then don't bother.
Be critical, tell people what you think could be better or what is getting in the way of their story. They might not want to hear it, but it might help them. Would you prefer to hear what could be better about the your pictures? What if you'd put in a huge effort?
Some people don't like it when you tell them what could be better. You'll know who they are, best keep shooshed and just say they're pictures are lovely.
I'll never master this. I know that, but I have so much to learn and I think I'll be doing this for years to come and getting more and more pleasure from it. Who knows, I might even make more cash than the £20 I made for selling this in a nice frame last year.

Older: What's in a Name?
Excellent points all – Must admit though that I don't sweat the histogram too much. I understand it, I just don't worry about it.Ultimately though it is all about the light. If the light is right a turd will look good and if it is wrong the Mona Lisa will look like a turd.
The last comment was by me – didn't mean to be anonymous.
Thanks for the comments folks. Minimal Steve – that's an excellent point about the light, maybe I'll save that for the next 10!Anonymous, I've never had any formal training – is it worth doing it do you think?

They're clothes to wear to your kid's soccer game, to a friend's backyard party, on your trip abroad, or for a day spent antique shopping. Your clothing shouldn't burden you. It should effortlessly complement your journey through the maze of life. Our clothing is fashion you can LIVE in.
Made for real women who want clothing for real life.
Jewel tones, rich fabrics, and satin finishes define our Holiday collection.

Paula Abdul remakes "Will You Marry Me" music video in honor of Pride
As Pride 2020 comes to a close, Paula Abdul is sending the celebratory month off with a special remake of her music video "Will You Marry Me", comprised of wedding and engagement footage from her dedicated fans.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the former American Idol judge revealed what inspired her to revamp the 28-year-old music video.
"Inclusion — it's love is love and I wanted to remind people that you all deserve to be celebrated, and I had the perfect song for that," Abdul explained. "Every time I watch the video it warms my heart."
In order to revamp the "Will You Marry Me?" the 58-year-old asked her fans and followers that tied the knot or got engaged during COVID-19 to send in their photos and videos.
Abdul then poured through the submissions and stitched together the updated version, which includes an array of racially diverse and same-sex couples celebrating one of the happiest days of their lives despite the ongoing pandemic.
Abdul also shared an interesting story about filming another song that also came off the Spellbound album — fan favorite "Rush Rush," which co-starred Keanu Reeves.
The former So You Think You Can Dance judge said she was extremely eager to work with Keanu and reminisced, "I hadn't met him yet and I wanted to introduce myself to him."
Turns out he managed to make one heck of a first impression, as Abdul continued with a laugh, "He had his own trailer and I walked up the steps to knock on the door, and the door was cracked open and he had headphones on and he was air guitar-ing… full-on in his underwear, and I just was like, 'Okay, I'm gonna back up. I'll meet him on set!'"

Anaplastický oligodendrogliom je zhoubný nádor vycházející z oligodendrocytů, což je jeden z druhů podpůrných buněk nervové tkáně, neuroglie. Patří tudíž mezi gliomy, resp. oligodendrogliomy. Od oligodedrogliomu grade II se liší histologickými známkami malignity, buňky jsou tzv. anaplastické, tzn. velmi málo diferencované, s jadernými atypiemi, nádor je velmi buněčný, časté jsou buněčné mitózy, nekrózy a krvácení v nádoru. V ostatních znacích odpovídá struktuře oligodendrogliomu, včetně struktury kapilární sítě a kalcifikací, které ovšem nemusí být přítomny. Ze všech oligodendrogliálních nádorů anaplastický oligodendrogliom tvoří 20–51 %.

Příznaky jsou nejprve nevýrazné, plíživé a odpovídají nádorům mozku obecně, nejčastěji se jedná o epileptické záchvaty, dále se objevují bolesti hlavy či neurologické deficity.

Oligodendrogliom, stejně tak i jeho anaplastická forma, je nádor poměrně citlivý k chemoterapii. Terapie je hlavně chirurgická, poté následuje radiační terapie následovaná chemoterapií, nebo se přechází rovnou k chemoterapii. Používá se temozolomid nebo PCV protokol – kombinace prokarbazinu, CCNU a vinkristinu.

Anaplastický oligodendrogliom může tvořit metastázy i mimo centrální nervový systém, ovšem činí tak poměrně vzácně. Průměrná doba přežití je 3 až 4 roky.

Pale, tart and crisp—sour wheat beers are some of the least alcoholic and most refreshing beer styles. Although these styles are not brewed in the capacity that they once were, they have seen a mini revival in the past decade—especially in the U.S.—where some craft brewers have not only adopted the traditional German and Belgian brewing methods, but also modernized them with the addition of interesting herbs, fruits and spices.
As you can probably infer, what makes sour wheat beers different from their non-sour counterparts is the use of souring agents including Lactobacillus and wild yeast, or a combination of both in the fermentation process. Made with a blend of pale malted barley and wheat, sour wheat beers tend to be extremely low in alcohol with a lemony, almost yogurt-like tartness and can sometimes be a bit funky.
Although most Americans today enjoy these styles of beer on their own, in the past, they were all often served with flavored syrups, fruit purees or some kind of sweetening agent to cut their tartness. In fact, many of them are still served this way in Europe.
It is important to note that sour wheat beers are not exclusive to any particular group or heritage, many variations abound, but the purpose of this post is to look at three specific styles: Berliner-style weisse, Leipzig-style Gose and the Belgian-style lambic.
BlaBlaBeer, thanks a lot for the post.Really thank you! Much obliged.


Hey there 🙂 If you've been following my blog lately you would know that I normally post short stories and occasionally random things. Today is one of those random-things days and I'll be honest and say it's because I'm stuck. You know, like a writer's block of sorts, I'm stuck on ideas. But no worries, I've pre-scheduled a short story for tomorrow and personally it's one of my favourites yet. Now onto this random thing I came up with.
When I was little, I watched the cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland on the Disney Channel and while I don't remember my thoughts back then, I remember finding it strange, but then liking it at the same time. I also watched the 2010 Alice in Wonderland movie by Tim Burton. But at that time, I had never even touched the original book written by Lewis Carroll. I just wasn't a fan of classics.
I then met a friend while I was in Form 6 (Pre-U) and we talked about books we liked and I found out she's read a lot of classics and the way she talked about them fascinated me. ( If you're reading this Elizabeth, it's your fault that I have Jane Austen's books lying around in my room 🙄 ) So anyway, there was this book sale going on and they sold classics for only RM5 each (1.54 USD) and I thought, it's such a great deal, wouldn't hurt to buy a few. Also at that time I was watching this korean drama called Cheongdamdong Alice and it was vaguely inspired by Alice in Wonderland, so I was kind of interested in the book then.
It took me a while to get around reading any of the classics I got since it was still an unfamiliar territory for me, but yeah, I finished reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and it became one of my favourite books. Ever.
The book is all sorts of strange and quirky, but at the same time it was hilarious. The way Alice's mind work, added with all the funny characters, it just made me laugh. I guess the main reason why I liked the book so much is because it made me happy. It is full of nonsense I could never take seriously, and that's a big part of why it's such a fun read.
This is the exact book that I own. I've seen other, prettier covers and wish I own those instead.
Like this one. Oh well, it's what's inside that counts.
It wasn't all that long ago that I read Alice, and I have the picture from the cover of your version on my bag – love it 🙂 I have vague recollections of reading through the looking glass, but I think I was too young to really get that and will have to revisit it.
I'm not a massive fan of many classics, but I think because a lot of the ones I've tried to read are set in the real world, so it's kind of like reading a historical novel (which isn't really my scene).
I'm not that big a fan of historical novels either, but I have a weird fascination for how they converse. The way they speak is just different from the way we speak now, it's really interesting, to me.
Just couldn't enjoy Alice – too "out there for me" but I have enjoyed many other classis through the years. Jane eyre is a favorite.
Jane Eyre seems to be a favourite for many people. I really should read it sometime. Heh.
Hey Suzanne! Can you share your experience what is so interesting about Classics? I'm about to take Form 6 this year. Hope I can enjoy reading them as well as polish my language skills.
Well, the only classic book I read is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, so I don't really know how to explain exactly why I found it interesting… Since you're taking form 6, I actually don't recommend you to read classics to polish up your English. Haha. 'Cause the way they write is different from our modern English. It's not required of you to read any classics anyway, unless if you're taking English Literature. In my opinion, you should read more articles, 'cause the type essays you have to write for MUET is more article-like.
Some classic books I love more than others. For instance, Pride and Prejudice highly entertained me when I first read it, but I was not as entranced with Oliver Twist. I love some of the newer classics, such as Of Mice and Men and To Kill A Mockingbird. I recommend those two, if you have not read them already.
I have Pride and Prejudice with me, but I haven't got around to really read it yet, I only read a few pages of it. Heh. Maybe I'll read To Kill a Mockingbird sometime, I heard great things about it.
Classics…sigh. I think the force-feeding of them in high school turns many people off to them. They are much slower to get to the point of things and society is used to full speed and explode! LOL I've never read Jane Eyre though. Maybe I should try?
Haha, yeah I know what you mean. I haven't read Jane Eyre either, but it seems to be many people's favourite.
I love the picture of Alice at her tea party above. That is the edition I own, but I don't know if I've ever read it. Maybe it's time.
One of my other friends told me the exact same thing! She doesn't read classics either but she really liked Jane Eyre even though it was like crazy thick.

Fritz Salomon Österlind, född 27 februari 1885 Hörby, Skåne, död 27 oktober 1959, var en svensk arkitekt, verksam i Malmö.

Biografi
Österlind studerade vid Tekniska Yrkesskolan i Malmö från 1899 till 1910 och därefter vid Kunstakademiet i Köpenhamn. Han var anställd som ritbiträde hos malmöarkitekterna August Ewe och Carl Melin från 1907. Han blev Carl Melins närmaste man och sedan denne lämnat samarbetet med Ewe startade Österlind eget arkitektkontor.
Österlind var en av de mest produktiva arkitekterna i Malmö under åren omkring 1930. Verksamheten omfattade huvudsakligen flerbostadshus och villor. Han hade det arkitektoniska ansvaret för flertalet av HSB:s projekt i Malmö fram till mitten av 1930-talet.
Han var verksam som lärare i byggnadslära och ritning vid Tekniska Läroverket och Tekniska Yrkesskolan i Malmö. Österlind engagerade sig även i Skånska föreningen för Byggnadskultur och han utarbetade typritningar för egnahem åt Statens Byggnadsbyrå.
