The quotable words of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
(CNN)Justice Clarence Thomas' unconventional ideas, daring rhetoric and booming baritone have distinguished him from his Supreme Court colleagues over the past 30 years.
From the start, his image at the 1991 Senate confirmation hearings went beyond the world of the law. The 73-year-old Thomas remains a cultural icon, especially on issues of race and sex. He is an enduring subject of books, movies and all manner of political debate, related to Anita Hill's accusations of sexual harassment, the expectations of civil rights leaders and Thomas' own views of racial stereotypes and constitutional conservatism.
Justice Clarence Thomas: the Supreme Court's influencer Thomas himself has vividly filled in the contours of his persona over the past three decades. He remains one of the most quotable justices in court opinions, extracurricular writings and interviews. Here is a sampling of some of Thomas' remarks on flashpoints over the past 30 years. Read More

RaceThomas is the second African American to serve on the country's highest court. He succeeded the first, Thurgood Marshall, a pioneering civil rights advocate, but shunned his predecessor's liberal mantle and support for racial remedies. Yet Thomas has demonstrated that "race is a core issue" for him, as he told as he told a 2020 audience. It emerges in his personal outlook and his legal emphasis. In his 2007 memoir, "My Grandfather's Son," Thomas said he found that a law degree from Yale was different for White and Black students because of "the stigmatizing effects of racial preferences."
Stephen Breyer says now isn't the time to lose faith in the Supreme Court"I knew I'd made a mistake in going to Yale," he wrote. "I felt as though I'd been tricked, that some of the people who claimed to be helping me were in fact hurting me. … At least southerners were up front about their bigotry: you knew exactly where they were coming from, just like the Georgia rattlesnakes that always let you know when they were ready to strike. Not so the paternalistic big-city whites who offered you a helping hand so long as you were careful to agree with them, but slapped you down if you started acting as if you didn't know your place." Thomas' experience and ideas about the limits of the Constitution have influenced his ideas as a justice. He opposes government remedies, such as affirmative action. "I believe blacks can achieve in every avenue of American life without the meddling of university administrators," he wrote as he dissented in the 2003 case of Grutter v. Bollinger involving a University of Michigan program boosting the chances of minority applicants to the law school. "The Constitution does not … tolerate institutional devotion to the status quo in admissions policies when such devotion ripens into racial discrimination. …. The Law School is not looking for those students who, despite a lower LSAT score or undergraduate grade point average, will succeed in the study of law. The Law School seeks only a facade–it is sufficient that the class looks right, even if it does not perform right. The Law School tantalizes unprepared students with the promise of a University of Michigan degree and all of the opportunities that it offers." Soon after his high court appointment, Thomas laid out arguments that judges had too broadly construed the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Dissension at the Supreme Court as justices take their anger public "(W)e have devised a remedial mechanism that encourages federal courts to segregate voters into racially designated districts to ensure minority electoral success. In doing so, we have collaborated in what may aptly be termed the racial 'balkanization' of the Nation," Thomas wrote in the 1994 case of Holder v. Hall. "… If one surveys the history of the Voting Rights Act, one can only be struck by the sea change that has occurred in the application and enforcement of the Act since it was passed in 1965. The statute was originally perceived as a remedial provision directed specifically at eradicating discriminatory practices that restricted blacks' ability to register and vote in the segregated South. Now, the Act has grown into something entirely different. … (W)e have converted the Act into a device for regulating, rationing, and apportioning political power among racial and ethnic groups." In a separate vein, Thomas has responded passionately to America's history of lynching and cross-burning. During 2002 oral arguments in a controversy over a Virginia law against cross-burning, he told a government lawyer, "My fear is … that you're actually understating the symbolism of and the effect of the cross, the burning cross. And I think that what you're attempting to do is to fit this into our (First Amendment) jurisprudence rather than stating more clearly what the cross was intended to accomplish and, indeed, that it is unlike any symbol in our society. … There was no communication of a particular message. It was intended to cause fear and to terrorize a population." When the court issued its opinion in Virginia v. Black the next year, Thomas wrote, "In every culture, certain things acquire meaning well beyond what outsiders can comprehend. That goes for both the sacred and the profane. I believe that cross burning is the paradigmatic example of the latter." The response to Anita Hill and other personal criticism When law professor Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexually harassing her when she worked for him, Thomas returned to race during his Senate confirmation hearing. "From my standpoint as a Black American, as far as I am concerned, it is high-tech lynching for uppity Blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that, unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you," Thomas said. "You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the US Senate, rather than hung from a tree." In a 2020 documentary, "Created Equal," in which he fully participated, Thomas repeated his racial defense against the accusations of Hill, who is also Black: "Come on, we know what this is all about: This is the wrong Black guy. He has to be destroyed."
'There is no perfect victim': Anita Hill refuses to believe a myth that lets perpetrators off the hookIn one of his most emotional public speeches, Thomas in 1998 broadly addressed criticism he has experienced from traditional civil rights groups. "It pains me deeply, more deeply than any of you can imagine, to be perceived by so many members of my race as doing them harm," he told the National Bar Association, a predominantly Black organization. "All the sacrifice, all the long hours of preparation were to help, not to hurt … Isn't it time to move on? Isn't it time to realize that being angry with me solves no problems? Isn't it time to acknowledge that the problem of race has defied simple solutions, and that not one of us, not a single one of us, can lay claim to the solution?" Constitutional conservatism Thomas, the most conservative justice, is a committed practitioner of "originalism," which looks to an understanding of the Constitution at its 18th Century origins. But Thomas, across a range of issues, is arguably the most provocative. He began that way, with no-hedge, no-handwringing opinions. In the 1992 case of Hudson v. McMillian, he dissented as the majority sided with a prisoner who had been beaten by guards while shackled. They broke his teeth and dental plate. In rejecting the prisoner's Eighth Amendment claim, Thomas was joined only by Justice Antonin Scalia: "In my view, a use of force that causes only insignificant harm to a prisoner may be immoral, it may be tortious, it may be criminal, and it may even be remediable under other provisions of the Federal Constitution, but it is not cruel and unusual punishment. … Surely prison was not a more congenial place in the early years of the Republic than it is today; nor were our judges and commentators so naive as to be unaware of the often harsh conditions of prison life. Rather, they simply did not conceive of the Eighth Amendment as protecting inmates from harsh treatment. Thus, historically, the lower courts routinely rejected prisoner grievances by explaining that the courts had no role in regulating prison life."
JUST WATCHEDClarence Thomas calls for review of landmark libel case ReplayMore Videos …MUST WATCH
Clarence Thomas calls for review of landmark libel case 03:20A New York Times editorial condemning his position was headlined, "The Youngest, Cruelest Justice." Thomas responded to some of the fallout from that decision in 1998 before the group of Black lawyers. "I, for one, have been singled out for particularly bilious and venomous assaults. … The principal problem seems to be a deeper antecedent offense. I have no right to think the way I do because I'm Black. Though the ideas and opinions themselves are not necessarily illegitimate if held by non-Black individuals … One opinion that is trotted out for the propaganda parade is my dissent in Hudson v. McMillian. The conclusion reached by the long arms of the critics is that I supported the beating of prisoners in that case. Well, one must either be illiterate or fraught with malice to reach that conclusion… . Indeed, we took the case to decide the quite narrow issue, whether a prisoner's rights were violated under the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment as the result of a single incident of force by the prison guards which did not cause a significant injury. … Obviously, beating prisoners is bad, but we did not take the case to answer this larger moral question." More than a decade later, asked before a different audience at a 2020 Federalist Society event, Thomas adopted a lighter stance. He laughed when US appellate Judge Gregory Katsas, who was a law clerk for Thomas that first court session, asked about the New York Times' "youngest, cruelest" line. "I liked that," Thomas quipped, as he referred to a long-running TV soap opera, "because it sounds like 'The Young and the Restless,' brought to you by Tide." Beyond his view that the Eighth Amendment should be constrained, Thomas has been most vocal in calling for the reversal of constitutional precedent on abortion rights, the separation of church and state and protections for a free press. In 2019, he raised states' interest "in preventing abortion from becoming a tool of modern-day eugenics."
How the Supreme Court crafted its Roe v. Wade decision and what it means today "The use of abortion to achieve eugenic goals is not merely hypothetical," he contended in a concurring opinion as the justices declined to take up whether Indiana could prohibit abortions when a physician knows a woman seeks the procedure because of a fetal disability, its race or sex. "The foundations for legalizing abortion in America were laid during the early 20th-century birth-control movement," Thomas wrote. "That movement developed alongside the American eugenics movement. … Technological advances have only heightened the eugenic potential for abortion, as abortion can now be used to eliminate concurring children with unwanted characteristics, such as a particular sex or disability. Given the potential for abortion to become a tool of eugenic manipulation, the Court will soon need to confront the constitutionality of laws like Indiana's." Relations in the Marble Palace Thomas wrote alone in the Indiana abortion case, separating himself from colleagues on the law, as often happens. But Thomas has expressed fondness for fellow justices even in disagreement. He describes the internal debate on cases as "a model of civility." In his writings, Thomas refrains from the personal shots that others sometimes take. Despite his rocky early years, Thomas continues to speak fondly of the court in those days under Chief Justice William Rehnquist, with whom he served until Rehnquist's death in 2005. He recalled in 2020 that when he expressed doubts about the task he faced to Rehnquist, the chief justice told him, "Clarence, your first five years, you wonder how you got here. After that, you wonder how your colleagues got here."
Another abortion challenge for John Roberts and the Supreme CourtThomas and Scalia, who served from 1986 until his 2016 death, were ideological soulmates and especially good friends. Thomas told me in a 2009 interview: "He loves opera. I prefer blues or jazz. We're different. I'm a (Nebraska) Cornhuskers' fan. I don't think he even watches sports." Thomas' wife, Ginni, is from Nebraska, and Thomas has long rooted for the state's college teams. As for professional football, Thomas made his allegiance clear in 1991 when, after spinning a metaphor involving referees, he told senators, "I've been a Dallas Cowboys fan for 25 years.""We're just different," Thomas continued as he talked to me about Scalia. "We happen to be going in the same direction in the same cases, so we run into each other a lot." At a memorial service for Scalia in 2016, Thomas recalled that the two were often alone in their views and criticized: "There were many buck-each-other-up visits. Too many to count. … And there were calls to test an idea or work through a problem. … I loved the eagerness and satisfaction in his voice when he finished a writing of which he was particularly pleased, 'Clarence, you have got to hear this. It is really good.' Whereupon, he would deliver a dramatic reading, after fumbling with his computer for a while."In a separate interview with me regarding Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Thomas recounted getting beyond an early conflict they had regarding standards for prisoners seeking a writ of habeas corpus to challenge their cases. It was an area of the law that O'Connor, appointed a decade earlier in 1981, had been taking a lead.
The secret Supreme Court: Late nights, courtesy votes and the unwritten 6-vote rule Rehnquist had assigned the court's opinion in the 1992 case of Wright v. West to Thomas. O'Connor agreed with his bottom-line judgment against the prisoner challenging his conviction but declined to sign on to Thomas' reasoning. She offered a sharply worded, point-by-point critique of Thomas' position that she believed went too far in restricting prisoner appeals. When I asked Thomas about those negotiations, he recalled O'Connor's attitude without rancor, "At first I thought, 'Whoa, she's a tough cookie.' … But they had been working on these (habeas corpus) problems for years and I come marching in like this.'" Thomas pumped his arms vigorously. He added: "I was the new kid on the block. I was brash. … I just took it like the rookie football player who gets clobbered by the linebacker: 'Welcome to the NFL.'"

Aloha Sunny Maui Vacation blog readers! I've been away from Hawaii, traveling for a few months now — with several more go to as my family and I embark on a year of remote work and homeschooling (that's another story for another time).
We spent our summer in the Pacific Northwest, California, Korea and Japan, and are now settling into Bali for the next six weeks. Believe it or not, it's been an exhausting past three months with my work and the kids' school commitments, as well as some important family business in Seoul, and only now have I had the chance to slow things down and reflect on our home of Hawaii.
"Live simply" isn't just a Patagonia marketing slogan, it's actually a good description of a way of life. Hawaii is all about living on simple terms — you work to enjoy life, and usually that life involves being with friends and family, swimming in the ocean, and just being grateful for the small things. Seattle, San Francisco, Tokyo and Seoul were anything but simple!
My wife and I like/need to work out almost daily. We run about an hour a day 5-6 days a week, enjoy family hikes and I also love to surf. Working out while traveling has been a massive geographic and logistical challenge.
I have not been anywhere else in the world where you can just walk out your door and start exercising with little to no traffic, comfortable temperatures and surrounded by people doing the exact same thing. Sure — these places exist — but can you do it year round like you can in Hawaii?
Living so close the ocean is a divine privilege denied to most people on Earth, but not the people of Hawaii. All of us, no matter where we live on the islands, can get to the beach in a maximum time of one hour. And mind you — the water is always comfortable!
Much like a big city, Hawaii is abundant with racial diversity. But unlike cities where ethnicities tend to stay homogenous, Hawaii's cultures are very much integrated. It's common to meet locals who are, for example, part Hawaiian, part Korean, part Filipino, part Portuguese and part Caucasian. We call that poi dog!
Hawaii is not only visually stunning, but our native language also sounds beautiful. Wanna hear it? Just listen to Cyril Pahinui's version of Hi'ilawe, or Teresa Bright singing Poliahu, or any song in Hawaiian for that matter. Or maybe just drive around anywhere in Hawaii and look at our street names. If you can't do that, simply look at a map of Hawaii and read the names of our towns.
The wonderful part about food in Hawaii is that you can get access to a lot of international options (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, American and more), but we also have our own unique regional fare such as Pacific Rim cuisine, BBQ plate lunch, saimin (Hawaiian-style ramen) and "local" versions of fried rice, mochi and even beer!
Even heard that expression, "Good things come in small packages"? That wisdom definitely applies to Hawaii, where you can very easily slip away and have a beach all to yourself, trek through a cloud forest alone, or finding yourself standing in the middle a vast empty lava field. If you don't believe us, come visit and see for yourself!

Eliud KIPCHOGE, Kenya (3000m/5000m/Cross Country Marathon)
Born 5 November 1984, Kapsisiywa, near Kapsabet, Nandi County, Rift Valley Prov., Kenya
Trains at Global Sports camp, Kaptagat (30km east of Eldoret).
Completed Kaptel Secondary School in 1999.
Manager: Jos Hermens
Coach: Patrick Sang
Last born of five children. Parents small-scale farmers.
Eliud Kipchoge goes to Rio with one goal in mind: to get the only medal missing from his impressive collection.
With a bronze from 2004 and silver from Beijing four years later, in Rio the two-time London Marathon champion will have probably the last chance of completing his set of medals of an otherwise glittering career spanning 15 years.
"I'm happy to be given a chance to participate in marathon at the Olympics. This will be crucial to me since I have never won gold in the Olympics; it's more than important," the two-time London Marathon champion says.
Few athletes boats the range of ability that Kipchoge possesses. A 3:33.20 man in 1500m, 12:46.53 in 5000m, 26:49.02 in 10,000m and 2:03:05 in the marathon, he is quite possibly the most versatile athlete currently competing.
From when he burst onto the scene as an 18-year old back at the World Championships in Paris 13 years ago, Kipchoge has shown great an indomitable spirit as he charted his career path with unerring precision.
It however all looked so bleak after he failed to make the team for the London Olympic Games four years ago.
Kipchoge had nightmare trials, finishing seventh (27:11.93) at the 10,000m Kenyan Trial at the IAAF Diamond League Meeting in Eugene and three weeks later, he came seventh in the 5000m race at the trials in 13:25.47 to miss out on a third Olympics.
But every cloud has a silver lining and it was the events of June 2012 that informed him it was time to move onto the road.
His return of success in the 42km distance has been remarkable, winning six of the seven marathons that he started. In April 2016, he became the second fastest man of all time after clocking 2:03:05 to win London Marathon.
"Everything I had was gone and I needed to look ahead. This is life, you have to accept outcomes whether they are bad or good and you have to know there are ups and downs. I had hope I will make it again and so I focused on the future and it paid off," he stressed.
Rio will be different, because for the first time in his career, Kipchoge goes into an Olympics as the overwhelming favourite to win. Previously, he always had to contend with a certain Kenenisa Bekele, but his incredible win in London Marathon this year installed him as the man to beat in Brazil.
Not that being favourite matters to him.
"I'm going to approach it carefully and I'm not going to underrate anyone because you never know what will happen. In this Olympics everyone wants to win a gold medal."
Winning gold would be the cherry on an incredible career.
Eliud Kipchoge ran casually in school, never reaching even district-level competition, and began training on his own after leaving school. Entering local cross country races in 2001, he placed 2nd overall in a jackpot series of competitions, attracting the attention of manager Jos Hermens.
The following year, Kipchoge again just missed winning the cross country jackpot but he triumphed in the junior race at Kenya's trials for the 2002 World Cross Championships in Dublin, for which he was selected. But he fell ill beforehand and finished 5th. After winning the 5,000m trial for the 2002 World Junior Championships on the track, he fell ill again, but this time more seriously (malaria) and he did not travel to Jamaica.
After recovering, Kipchoge's manager took him to Europe for three late-season races in which he demonstrated his true potential.
In 2003, Kipchoge again won Kenya's junior trials for the World Cross Country Championships and, healthy this time, he won in Lausanne after a duel with Uganda's Boniface Kiprop. He also won the Kenyan cross country series, earning a share of a 1million Kenyan shillings jackpot (Kipchoge's portion: Ksh. 250,000, equal to about 3,000 euros).
Moving to the track, he dipped under the 13 minute barrier a couple of times, including for third place finish in Oslo (12:52.61) before making the Kenyan team for the 2003 World Championships in Paris.
It was here that he stunned the world by beating pre race favourites, four-time 1500m World champion Hicham El Guerrouj and new World 10,000m champion Kenenisa Bekele to win gold in the 5000 metres.
While Guerrouj made his move with Bekele in hot pursuit, Kipchoge's late burst was enough for him to pip the Moroccan on the line and win in a Championships record time of 12:52.79.
In 2004, Kipchoge graduated to the senior 12km race at the World Cross, but could not repeat the heroics of Paris as Bekele won the Cross double while Kipchoge could only manage fourth place in Brussels behind a podium sweep by Ethiopians.
Disappointed, he turned his attention to the track setting a personal best in 1500m (3:33.20 in Hengelo). He returned to Kenya in June, where he won the Olympic Trials in Nairobi, before returning to the European circuit, setting two more PBs, in 5000m (12:46.53 in Rome) and the mile (3:50.40 in London).
He made his first appearance at the Olympics in Athens, in a rematch of the brilliant three-man Paris 5000m final. This time round though, Guerrouj was too strong in the final lap, with Kipchoge settling for bronze in 13:15.10.
Five days later, he took out his frustrations on the track in the Brussels GP, blasting a seasonal best 7:27.72 for 3000m, the year's best mark. Two weeks after that, in the World Athletics Final, he repeated the win at 3000m, this time kicking decisively off a slower pace (7:38.67).
A dominating performance in the 12 km to win the Kenyan trials for the 2005 World Cross saw him lead the team in St Etienne/St. Galmier, where Kipchoge was thought to have the best chance in years to defeat cross country master Bekele, who was grieving over the death of his fiancée two months earlier. The two ran shoulder to shoulder for five of the 12km race's six laps, but when Bekele accelerated with 2000m to go, Kipchoge could not respond, and staying with the hard driving Bekele for the first 10km cost him an almost certain silver medal as he faded to fifth.
At the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, Kipchoge faced neither of his two Paris or Athens rivals, with El Guerrouj having retired and Bekele defending his 10,000m title only. The Kenyan was favourite to win a second World title, but with a decidedly slow pace, he struggled to get going as Benjamin Limo won gold while he finished fourth in 13:33.04.
He closed out the disappointing season with a fast win in the Brussels Golden League 5000 (12:50.22) and a more modest 2nd in the World Athletics Final 3000 (7:38.95).
Kipchoge chose to forego both the World Cross Country Championships and the Commonwealth Games early in 2006 but competed at the World Indoor Championships in Moscow, where he was up against Bekele again, this time over 3000m, which seemed better suited to Kipchoge, who had just recorded a new indoor 1500 PB of 3:36.25 in Birmingham. However, he had to make do with a bronze (7:42.58) as the Ethiopian took gold.
The highlights of an underwhelming season were 7:30.48 in 3000m and a 12:54.94 in 5000m.
Kipchoge raced sparingly in 2007, skipping indoors altogether and running just one cross country and five track races before the World Championships in Japan, the most notable of which were a dazzling 10,000m debut in Hengelo (26:49.02).
At the trials for Osaka, Kipchoge was third, making the Kenyan team for the World Championships. In the final, he was again undone by a slow pace, which saw Bernard Langat edge him out for gold with Kipchoge settling for silver in 13:46.00.
Two cross country race in Europe opened 2008 for Kipchoge, before his track debut in Doha (3,000m, 7:33.14), followed by 13:02.06 in 5000m in Ostrava in early June. A second place at the Kenyan Olympic trials gave him a second bite of the cherry in Beijing.
In the 5000m final, Kipchoge was again up against his nemesis Bekele and he again came up short, finishing second in 13:02.80.
2009 was another underwhelming year. Kipchoge started his track season in Doha with a fast 3000m (7:28.37). He timed a seasonal best in 5000m (12:56.46) in June in Milan before finishing third at the trials for the Berlin World Championships. In Berlin, he faded to fifth (13:18.95) as Bekele again triumphed.
A blistering 12:51.21 in Doha in May 2010 was the highlight of a low-key year, where he took silver at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October.
After a sizzling start, with a victory at the Edinburgh cross in early January and indoor PBs at 3000m (7:29.37) and 5000m (12.55.72) in less than a week in February, 2011 was another unremarkable year, in which he could only manage seventh place in 13:27.27 at the Daegu World Championships – his worst career placing at major championships.
Then came the nadir in 2012, where Kipchoge failed to make the Olympics team in both 5,000m and 10,000m.
However, a sign of where he was headed came in September, when he clocked 59:25 in his debut half marathon on the way to finishing third in Lille.
That performance was enough for him to be included in the team for the World Half Marathon Championships in Bulgaria, where he finished sixth in 61:52.
Kipchoge shifted his focus entirely to road running from 2013. A 60:04 half marathon started his season in February and in April he made his marathon debut in Hamburg, winning in 2:05:30. He improved his time to 2:04:05 in September as he chased Wilson Kipsang, who set the World record at Berlin marathon. It would be his only defeat so far at the distance.
Kipchoge started 2014 with a 60:52 timing to win the half marathon in Barcelona in February. He followed it by winning the Amsterdam marathon in 2:05:00 in April.
In October in Chicago, Kipchoge came up against his long-time nemesis, Kenenisa Bekele - competing in just his second marathon. Determined to get one over the Ethiopian, the Kenyan ran a tactful race to get only his second win over Bekele in his career in 2:04:11.
Now firmly established among the top marathoners in the world, Kipchoge clocked 60:50 in the half marathon at Ras Al Khaimah in February 2015.
He then proceeded to London, where he produced another masterful performance to defeat a world-class field that included Kipsang and World record holder Dennis Kimetto and win the race on his London debut in a time of 2:04:42.
In September, he was back in Berlin for a crack at the World record. However, a mishap with his shoes, after his insoles came off almost on the onset, saw the affable Kenyan run most of the race with the insoles flapping around his ankles and put paid top his record attempt as he won in a PB 2:04:00.
When Kipchoge lined up for his second London Marathon in April 2016, he was the overwhelming favourite and he responded with a dominant win. He winded up the pace throughout the race, dropping his opponents with ease to win in 2:03:05, just eight seconds outside the World record.
Kipchoge put his head in his hands immediately after finishing, but afterwards said he was not too disappointed by missing out on a World record.
"I realised I was a few seconds off the World record. It was not really a disappointment."
His inclusion in the Kenyan Olympics team was a no brainer and he has been tasked with becoming only the second Kenyan to win the Olympic gold after Samuel Wanjiru in 2008.
"It will take a lot of time, sacrifices, perseverance and patience to win Olympics gold, if you watch what the late Wanjiru did. I'm sorry Wanjiru died before he fully celebrated his performance. It takes a lot of time," he added.

The PDT Project: Algonquin
Payman Bahmani on Jun 29, 2012
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy."
--Dorothy Parker
The Algonquin Round Table is the popular name of a small group of young writers, actors, and comedians in New York City who met daily at the Algonquin Hotel for lunch and ruthless banter during a span of of about twelve years during Prohibition. The product of their daily witticisms and general shenanigans would trickle back into the national publications of the various members. Among the most notable of the members of the Round Table were Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott, George Kaufman, Harold Ross, and Harpo Marx.
They referred to themselves as the Vicious Circle and became quite recognized in their day for their contribution and influence on popular culture, particularly with regard to literature, comedy, theatre, and film. One of the most enduring creative contributions of the Algonquin Round Table was the founding of The New Yorker magazine.
Although it was officially Prohibition, it's clear that the Circle was not a dry one. Humorist Robert Benchley famously admitted, "I know I'm drinking myself into a slow death, but then I'm in no hurry." What is not so clear is whether the Algonquin cocktail was among the potables consumed by them.
According to writer and liquor historian David Wondrich, they were a highball and Martini crowd. Ted Haigh, in his book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, casts similar doubt. Thus it appears the Algonquin was a cocktail created later to honor either the hotel, the famous literary collective, or both. The recipe in The PDT Cocktail Book is cited from a New York Sun column from 1935 by wine and restaurant critic Selmer Fougner.
2 oz. Rittenhouse Bonded Rye Whiskey
0.75 oz. Dolin Dry Vermouth
0.75 oz. pineapple juice
Tools: barspoon, mixing glass
Glassware: chilled cocktail coupe
Method: Stir ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe.
Overall, the Algonquin is a cocktail that lies on the dry side of the spectrum. There's a spicy and boozy backbone from the bonded rye, which is mellowed out by the herbal notes of the dry vermouth and rounded out with subtle sweetness of the pineapple.
Speaking of pineapple, there are a few things worth noting. The first is that fresh juice is better than canned (duh). If you must go with canned or bottled juice, then buy the unsweetened variety (double duh). If you're juicing pineapple, don't forget to fine strain it to remove the fine pulp and froth.
Which brings me to the final point, which involves why we're stirring this cocktail as opposed to shaking it, which is what you've been taught to do when you have a recipe with juice or other opaque ingredients. In this case, since pineapple juice really froths up when shaken, we stir in order to limit the opacity of the drink, because the Algonquin is intended to look more like a Martini than a Margarita.
Payman, great write up on one of my favorites. I would like to add a few thoughts. In 1935, given the proximity to repeal, strong American ryes like Rittenhouse were in short supply. I am pretty sure they used Canadian Club in the original recipe and dry vermouth like Noilly Prat, which recently returned to its original formula. Try it with those spirits and see what you think. It will not have the spicy element of the bonded rye, but CC's sweetness will swing the taste from overtly dry to the well balanced. Salute – Fredo
Fredo Ceraso on Jul 02, 2012
Fredo, you're absolutely correct historically. And I agree that CC will swing the drink in a sweeter direction, which many will like. I actually like the higher proof and drier taste of it.
I also have a problem with CC in general because it's just not a quality rye, and while that was the best available for a long time after Prohibition, we now have so many great brands on the market that I never reach for CC. But as you mentioned, CC would be the closest to the original taste, historically speaking.
I wonder how it would taste with a lower proof yet dry rye like Overholt, or a slightly sweeter rye like Bulleit that's still 80 proof.
As always, thanks for sharp observations Fredo!

In the recently opened Stonehenge Visitor Centre, which provides permanent and temporary exhibition about one of the most striking World Heritage sites, five neolithic houses were (re)constructed.
The five buildings have been (re)constructed by the Ancient Technology Centre with local materials on the base of data from excavations. Every building is furnished with replicas of original artefacts and completes the permanent exhibition. Volunteers have also collaborated and still do, by demonstrating daily neolithic activities within the houses to the visitors.
The Visitor centre provides thus all the information needed to experience Stonehenge, just ten minutes away and reachable through the shuttle service.

Jazz vets Ekpe Udoh and Thabo Sefolosha likely won't be back next season; a lot of locker room wisdom will go with them

By Eric Walden
In the summer of 2017, all that Jazz fans wanted out of free agency was for Gordon Hayward to re-sign with the team and remain in Utah.
One morning of leaked departure rumors, one round of unconvincing denials, one hastily written decision announcement, and one ruined Fourth of July later, and that dream was over.
What Jazz fans wound up getting in free agency instead was veteran defensive wing Thabo Sefolosha and journeyman big man-turned-EuroLeague Final Four MVP Ekpe Udoh.
Now, in the summer of 2019, both of those players are free agents, and seemingly likely to play elsewhere next season. And if no one is exactly staking their holiday happiness on the duo returning, their departures won't go unnoticed either.
For while their on-court production these past two seasons may have been modest, their locker room presence was invaluable.
Over the course of the 2018-19 season, teammates would, without fail, unprompted, unsolicited, discuss their importance to the team, the benefit of having them around to run ideas by, to discuss situations with.
"It's very helpful for our young players to see [Sefolosha] work, because he's a true professional," said Jae Crowder. "It's been good for us to have him around — he's a voice in the locker room through the ups and downs of the season."
"Ekpe taught me a lot just by how he handles himself, on and off the court," said two-way player Tyler Cavanaugh, whose locker was right next to the center's at Vivint Smart Home Arena.
Sometimes the vets themselves even made it a point to single out the other. On one occasion this season, Udoh, a 2010 lottery pick, said of Sefolosha, who's now played 14 seasons in the NBA, "He's been around, he's seen a lot of players come and go, and he's still here. He definitely shares his knowledge with the guys, through the good times and the times that pose a lesson."
Former Jazzmen Alec Burks and Rodney Hood, in their first return to Utah since being traded from the team, both said they made it a point to stay in contact with some former teammates, including Udoh.
NUMBERS GAME
While Thabo Sefolosha and Ekpe Udoh are highly regarded in the locker room, neither wound up making the on-court impact they wanted over the past two seasons:
Player /G-GS/Min/Pts/Reb/Blk/Stl/FG%/3P%
Sefolosha /88-8/16.1/5.7/3.2/0.2/1.1/48.6/40.7
Udoh /114-4/9.9/2.5/2.1/0.9/0.5/57.3/0.0
While some fans may look at their numbers and be quick to shrug off their likely impending departures, the people in the locker room know well the benefits of having around guys who've gone through every conceivable situation.
Now, with two such guys figuring to leave, Burks having been jettisoned this past fall, and veteran big man Derrick Favors' status unsettled as the team looks to chase a max-level free agent, the team dynamic could well be very different next year.
Of course, beyond being the sage voices of reason, those guys had their moments on the court, too.
In a late-October victory in Dallas, with the Jazz bleeding away a lead, Udoh anchored a third-quarter lineup that helped expand the advantage and ultimately enabled the win.
In an early-April slog against the Hornets, the Jazz's short-handed bench got a lift from Sefolosha, who played almost 23 minutes and hit 5 of 6 shots — including 4 of 5 from deep — for a season-high 14 points in the win.
Given the opportunity to play in the regular-season finale vs. the Clippers (with the regulars all held out in a meaningless contest), Udoh shot 7 for 9 and totaled season-highs of 14 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, and four blocks.
Sefolosha also had big moments against the Lakers in April (13 points, five steals, four rebounds) and vs. the Knicks in late December (10 points, 10 rebounds, three steals).
Still, they undoubtedly wish there had been a few more on-court highlights, apparently not yet content solely with the role of wizened voice of experience.
In his two seasons with the Jazz, Udoh appeared in just 114 games and averaged only 2.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game. After getting 12.9 minutes per game in 2017-18, that was more than cut in half a season later, when he played just 6.3 minutes per game. The Clippers game was the only time he topped 20 minutes all season, stuck, as he was, behind Favors and All-NBA Third Team selection Rudy Gobert.
At the team's locker-room cleanout meeting with the media, he praised the organization and his teammates, but conceded, "I didn't get the opportunities that I wanted." He is now reportedly considering several lucrative offers to continue his career back in Europe.
Sefolosha, meanwhile, took the court only 88 times for Utah in his two years. He, too, saw his opportunities decline, as he went from 8.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21.2 minutes in 2017-18 to 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.2 minutes this season.
While he expressed a willingness to potentially return, he seemed to indicate he did not consider it likely: "I'm gonna keep my options open and see what makes sense," Sefolosha said. "I had a great experience here for two years."
Still though, while Udoh was a defensive presence and Sefolosha worked to become a proficient deep shooter, they were both best-known for being great teammates — something that continued right until the end of their time with the team.
At that aforementioned meeting with the media, one reporter asked Udoh what the Jazz needed to take the next step, to which he quickly replied, in response to a perceived shot at teammates still raw from having been eliminated the night before, "Well, what do you think, sir, before I answer this question? What's your take?" When the reporter, caught off-guard, stammered, "I don't know … better players?" in response, a grin crept across Udoh's face.
"'Better players,'" he repeated slowly, for effect. "… Yeah, we all need them."

JB moves quickly to diffuse customer service problem
Wed 23 Sep 2015 | 1:32 pm
A serious lapse in customer service has resulted in a massive consumer backlash against JB Hi Fi not seen since the days Gerry Harvey tried to put GST onto online purchases under $1,000. Claire Moffat and Emily Bencic report.
Many industry players are scratching their heads at the response by the JB Mount Ommaney store manager who reacted with hostility after a young man with Downs Syndrome, James Milne, was refused entry to his store. However, while it has drawn the ire of many thousands on social media, observors believe that JB CEO Richard Murray acted promptly in posting an apology on Facebook and then making a further personal apology to the family.
"We will make sure that we learn from this and do better in the future," Murray said.
JB Hi-Fi has said it is committed to providing all customers with the best possible shopping experience and believes the company and the manager of Mount Ommaney could have managed the incident in a better way in the interests of James and his family.
To support their commitment to improving customer experience across all of its stores, JB will review its customer policies and ensure that they reflect best practice.
Victoria Milne claimed her brother James was blocked by a security guard from entering the Mount Ommaney store earlier this week.
The security guard claimed that he had James' photo so he was not allowed in, according to Victoria. However, the photo was of a white male who also had Down syndrome, which was clearly not James, who has olive skin.
James' mother called the store and demanded an apology from the manager who said "he would never give an apology and he had the right to stop anyone he pleased from entering the store", according to Victoria.
Ipswich councillor Paul Tully set up a Change.org petition on behalf of James Milne and the family will be seeking legal advice.
"The manager is refusing to take calls from the public or media. It has been referred to the company's Head Office," he said. "This is un-Australian and disgraceful".

Day-care centres for more vegetables, less food waste
Press release Photo by Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).
Day-care centres can reduce food wastage through long-term cooperation and planning, according to a research project.
Interaction between children and nature can be enhanced by taking long excursions into the outdoors, by planting and nurturing plants, and by letting children play with natural materials, soil, and natural water.
These results are confirmed by Nature step towards wellbeing (Luontoaskel hyvinvointiin), a project aimed at finding ways to support children's wellbeing and a sustainable operating culture at day-care centres in cooperation with teaching and catering staff, said a press release issued by Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).
The outcome of the project was the Nature step towards wellbeing operating model which supports work for sustainable development at day-care centres on a concrete level.
The model aims at promoting health and wellbeing, learning, a positive relationship with nature and food, and environmental safety for children and families. The operating model supports learning in accordance with the fundamentals of the National core curriculum for pre-primary education.
Taking part in the project were nine pilot day-care centres from Helsinki, Oulu, Jyväskylä, and Lappeenranta.
Each day-care centre developed its own ways to include Nature step activities in their daily routine.
"The aim of the project was to significantly change attitudes and behaviour, and with its help, to reduce the threats to health and wellbeing caused by urbanisation. Adequate contacts with nature and eating plant-based food in early childhood reduce these threats. The testing phase is now over and based on the experiences gleaned, the next step will be to create a Nature step day-care centre network among the pioneers," Project Manager Heli Kuusipalo of the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) said.
The Nature step towards wellbeing project was established and coordinated by THL together with the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) and the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke). The main part of the funding came from the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra. Also providing funding was the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

We are often asked about infinity pools or negative edge pools. People would like to have them in their backyard to enjoy those stunning views and effect of the running water. Over the past 37 years, we have built many infinity swimming pools. They are one of the more complex types of build however they do create some of the most amazing projects.
A swimming pool is always more than just for swimming in. Naturally, that is usually the number one reason for deciding to build a swimming pool in your backyard. However, one of the other reasons is the sense of calm that water brings people. Having the view of the water (be it natural or manmade) creates a whole new reason to build a swimming pool, however, having an existing view and enhancing this view with moving water is the main reason why people choose to invest in an infinity swimming pool. The water flowing over this edge produces an effect of water with no boundary like you know it from some holiday resorts or luxurious estates. Whether it is the sky, cityscape, trees, forest, lake or sea, infinity pools have always been the object of admiration both of the pool owners and their visitors. This spectacular architectural element simply creates a remarkable showpiece in your home.
People coming to our display centres often want to know, what is needed to construct an infinity pool, how does it work, and obviously, how much does an infinity pool cost. To answer all these questions, we have prepared a detailed article about infinity pools which is now available in our Advice section. Get some inspiration from the attached pictures, read the whole article about infinity pool costs or explore the case studies of 3 selected infinity pools we have built.

Delhi, Goa, Mumbai On High Alert post Terror Warning
Sunidhi Bhatti March 25, 2019
Major Indian cities were put on high alert on Wednesday after the Delhi Police issued a warning about the entry of three heavily armed Pakistani terrorists, who might be suicide bombers, into the country. Police in Delhi, Mumbai and Goa have been alerted by intelligence agencies about possible twin threats from Islamic State and al-Qaeda.
The first alert, dated March 20, talks of IS and connected cells planning to avenge the attack in Christchurch, New Zealand in which 50 people died. A 29-year-old Australian citizen, Brenton Tarrant, had entered two mosques with automatic weapons and opened indiscriminate fire.
The input reads: "As per the information received from multiple sources, an audio speech of IS spokesperson Abu Hassan al-Muhajir is being circulated on closed online groups and chat platforms wherein Muhajir is heard calling on his supporters to avenge the massacre at the mosques. This audio and other chatter indicates intent to avenge the incident. Appropriate action may be taken in this connection."
The second input, dated March 23, is about a possible strike by an al-Qaida cell at Jewish residential establishments
"An alert has been issued in the state (Punjab) after we received an input from the special cell of Delhi police," the Punjab Police DGP (Law and Order) HS Dhillon said.
According to the report, terrorists will possibly use a vehicle or a knife in the attacks. Intelligence have suggested that security around the Israeli Embassy, Consulate General in Mumbai as well as synagogues and Chabad houses be tightened as musch as possible.
"Several Israelis used to be on a long duration visa in Goa and often congregated to pray at Chabad houses. However, of late they have reduced considerably, and the Chabad houses in North coastal belt are almost not operating", said police sources.
Punjab has also witnessed two major terror attacks in the past nine months. Suspected Pakistani terrorists attacked the Pathankot Indian Air Force base on January 2 and killed seven security personnel.
In January 2016, terrorists had attacked an air force base in Pathankot, killing seven military personnel. They had car-jacked two vehicles – one belonging to a Punjab Police SP and another to a taxi driver – to travel to the base near the Pakistan border. In July 2015, the state had witnessed an attack in Dinanangar of the border Gurdaspur district.

Massachusetts is the first state to implement a statewide equity policy within adult use cannabis law. The goal is to encourage individuals and communities disproportionately affected by the War on Drugs to transfer their skills to the legal market. The Cannabis Control Commission grants these economic empowerment applicants resources to start a business intended to ease the burden of barriers to entry.
The benefits that qualified equity applicants receive after obtaining priority review include management and recruitment training, accounting assistance, tax prediction and compliance, help with creating business plans, education on industry best practices, and assistance with raising funds and capital.
Denver, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas have all implemented recreational weed regulation with varying degrees of social equity in mind. The Massachusetts Commission is learning from already existing cannabis law in these states.

Robin and I drove up to glenfinnan, from where we began our trek into the wilderness and our missionto get to the remotest pub on mainland Britain. The weather was brilliant as we set off under the viaduct and up the glen. Our first target was Sgurr nan Coireachan at the head of the glen, part of a horseshoe ridge, on which we would be looking to camp. We made good progress along a track in the floor of the glen, then tried to ignore the midge as we began to climb - this had to be taken a little slower than usual, because of our full packs. The views were magnificent from the top and the ridge was great, although we should have taken more water up there. We found the premiere campsite in the area, flat at nearly 900m, free from midge, sheltered by the ridge and with a view back down the glen. We played cards on a rock that we suspected had never had cards played on before.

Q: How to extract a .dmg file in Linux? As a Linux user, I need to get the content of a .dmg (Mac OSX disk image) file which contains an application installer.
I tried dmg2dir (which requires dmg2img) which created an .img file but nothing else.
$ sudo dmg2dir jdk-8u51-macosx-x64.dmg
==> Routines successfully accomplished. Ready!
==> Prepare loop device...
==> Mount block device...
Error looking up object for device /dev/disk/by-label/JDK\x208\x20Update\x2051 INTENSO openSUSE\x20Live\x20CD\x20GNOME dump
Variable is empty.

I just need the files from the .dmg file unpacked, I don't want to mount it.
In case you're curious, I need this to create a portable development environment to be used at workshops on computers that can't be prepared upfront.

A: Just use 7z x.
In the case of for example Sublime text, 7z x "Sublime Text 2.0.2.dmg" will be enough to extract all the files.
In other cases, like for example the JDK, you have to deal with some kind of matryoshka.
$ 7z x jdk-8u51-macosx-x64.dmg
$ cd JDK 8 Update 51/
$ 7z x JDK 8 Update 51.pkg
$ 7z x Payload~

But eventually you will get a folder containing the files you're looking for.

A: Sometimes 7z do not work correctly.
Use https://sourceforge.net/projects/catacombae/files/HFSExplorer/0.23.1/ for that cases

A: On the Mac, if the dmg is an image of a directory containing all the files, then make a tgz of the directory instead of a dmg, and migrate it.
#!/bin/bash
if [ -d "$1" ]; then  # $1 is the directory name
tar -cf "$1.tar" "$1" || exit  # First, create a tar-file
gzip -n -S .gz "$1.tar"  # Then ,gzip it to compress it.
mv "$1.tar.gz" "$1.tgz"  # Then rename it ti a .tgz
echo "Created $PWD/$1.tgz"
else echo "Not a directory"
fi
exit 0

A: I tryed all the above with this DMG:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.26.0/SDL2-2.26.0.dmg
and nothing work
