Can Robots Be Jewish?—signed
Can Robots Be Jewish? And Other Pressing Questions of Modern Life
Should we edit our children's genes? Are there things that can't be forgiven? Are Jews still expecting a messiah? Is Judaism good for women? Should Jews strive to be happy? Do Jews believe in the afterlife? Can robots be Jewish? In this book, rabbis spanning the range of modern Jewish thought, from Humanist and Reform to Orthodox and beyond, consider these difficult and provocative questions and many others. Sometimes they agree – but not often. Editor Amy E. Schwartz provides delightful commentary, celebrating the rabbinic impulse to question every assumption and highlighting the many and sometimes surprising ways ancient texts can speak to us today. The Religion News Service says: "The most intriguing books on religion we read this year," Can Robots Be Jewish? is a must read!

Ed Boon Interview Transcript
taken	August 21st, 2008
by Gambid
Q1: Gambid: Would you introduce yourself with a few words.
A1: Ed Boon: Oh... OK. My name is Ed Boon, I am the Creative Director and the team lead for Mortal Kombat VS. DC Universe.
Q2: Gambid: What is currently you job on the team? Going from office to office, take all the decision or... ?
A2: Ed Boon: I go to a lot of offices. Spend a lot of time, you know, answering questions. You know "Is this right?", "Is this good?" and I kind of also play the game and try to make suggestions on how we can make it better.
Q3: Gambid: What was your reaction on the fake trailer that appeared on YouTube about a month before any official information was released? You know the one with Raiden flashing in the background, that actually everyone took for real.
A3: Ed Boon: Oh..., I was impressed with it. I guess that was my first reaction. I was impressed with it. I think somebody make a fake one noob.com with the moon also. They did something special like that also. That was pretty cool, so I was pretty impressed with that.
Q4: Gambid: How far are willing the fans to go? What was the most extreme message you ever received from a fan.
A4: Ed Boon: Extreme message?
Gambid: In terms of also threatening...
Ed Boon: Oh... no. Nothing like that. I guess... a couple of people came by work and asked for me. You know, came by to work, so that's probably the closest thing that happened.
Q5: Gambid: What was Mortal Kombat 8 going to look like before you decided to make a DC crossover game? When exactly was this decision made? How much of the game was done by that time?
A5: Ed Boon: It was probably not going to have that much saturated colors, you know, reds and blues and greens and all that stuff. It was probably a little bit more greedier looking I think. But when we added the DC characters, we brought things up.
Q6: Gambid: What is your opinion on the fact that Mortal Kombat hasn't made it to the EVO Tournament yet? Do you plan on changing this with Mortal Kombat VS. DC Universe?
A6: Ed Boon: Oh... I don't know. I didn't think about it that much. I think its more of games like, you know, Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur that are probably more like tournament games. Mortal Kombat is more like beat him up and have fun. Stuff like that.
Q7: Gambid: If you have the opportunity of making another action adventure game like Shaolin Monks, which would be the main characters.
A7: Ed Boon: Which would be the main characters? Probably Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
Q8: Gambid: Can you give us an update on the third Mortal Kombat movie? Are we actually going to see the third movie?
A8: Ed Boon: The latest that I know is that I have a script and I read it. We have gone back and forth with the producers of the movie. They are trying to cast it and find a new director, so... I know that it is in the works, but I don't know when it is coming out.
Gambid: Are you involved somehow?
Ed Boon: Yea, I read the script and give comments and stuff like that.
Q9: Gambid: Can you tell us a little something about the boss character? Are there going to be different bosses when you pick DC character or MK character.
A9: Ed Boon: The boss is going to be a character that we are going to announce a little later, just like the other characters we will be announcing those things. We are not suppose to talk about it, so...
Q10: Gambid: OK. Are there going to be new MK characters in this game. Are you going to introduce new characters.
A10: Ed Boon: In this game?
Gambid: Yes.
Ed Boon: No, there is no new DC or MK characters.
Q11: Gambid: Now the last question. I know you cannot tell us who else is going to be in the game, but can you at least give us the name of one character who won't be in it? Not Mokap, because we already know that he won't be in the game.
A11: Ed Boon: Mokap is not going to be in the game.
Gambid: Someone else?
Ed Boon: Meat will not be in the game. Bo Rai Cho will not be in the game.
Gambid: That was more than one. Thank you, thank you for you time.

Five Big Ten Teams Projected In USA Today NCAA Bracket
See where the Big Ten came in USA Today's latest bracketology.
By Thomas Beindit@tbeindit Nov 7, 2016, 4:16pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Five Big Ten Teams Projected In USA Today NCAA Bracket
On Monday morning, USA Today released its preseason bracketology for the 2016-'17 college basketball season and five Big Ten teams were fortunate enough to make the cut. Although the conference doesn't appear to be as loaded at the top as it has been in recent years, it still showed up strongly in this projected NCAA field.
While Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, Purdue, and Wisconsin were the five teams to make the cut, one more Big Ten team just missed the field and several others were considered. Perhaps the most interesting absence was Ohio State, who is rated as a top 15 team by KenPom's preseason rankings.
Here is how the Big Ten was projected
Big Ten In 11/7 USA Today Bracketology By Seed:
#3 - Indiana, Michigan State, Purdue
#4 - Wisconsin
#5 - Maryland
First Four Out - Michigan
Considered: Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State
While the Big Ten has seen plenty of drama on Selection Sunday in recent years, this is an early sign that fans might not experience much suspense this year. The conference appears to have five teams safely in the field and just one other team close to making the cut. This will certainly change in the weeks to come, but it doesn't look all that encouraging for the conference's NCAA hopes.
Two of the more interesting exclusions (as mentioned above) were Iowa and Ohio State. Neither team looks like a Final Four team this year, but the Hawkeyes have made the NCAA Tournament three years in a row and Ohio State is projected as a quality unit by the advanced stats. It will be interesting to see who's right on these two.
One other thing to note is that the Big Ten doesn't appear to be in serious consideration for a one seed at the moment. This could change in the coming weeks, but that could be a big blow to a conference looks for its first national championship in well over a decade. Fans will have to hope that projection is wrong.
You can see the full field here.

This week's tutorial is a fun and super simple technique for monoprinting with stencils. Usually we create backgrounds with stencils by applying a medium through the openings.... in this technique, we're printing with the stencil itself.
Distress inks are used in the tutorial, but I used Gelatos for my sample... scribbled them onto the stencil, then misted with water and blended with my finger before printing.
I used my MISTI to line up the donut stamps and position the sentiment... these stamps are from a cute set from Sugar Pea Designs that I forgot I had! I built up the color on the donut's frosting with several layers of ink, which was easy with the MISTI's help.
The donut actually acts like a latch to keep the card closed - the panel it's on is scored but not folded, so it's flexible enough to stay flat but also bend back to let the front panel lift. When the card is open, that feature decorates the inside too. I'll make a tutorial someday if there's interest! I used it on this card a couple of years ago, too.
pretty look...I have Gelatos and haven't really used them..gotta try this!
Saw this on Facebook and may give it a try. I did not like the results I had using ink. There might be more control with the Gelatos.
Fabulous tut, Dina. I'm always on the lookout for new ways to use my gelatos. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Hi Dina, I commented on your beautiful "Hey Girl" card and just had to look up to see what the "latch card" is. I love the way it works but I don't see how you attached the circle so that it doesn't come apart after a few uses. I don't know if you have time to make a tutorial, but maybe you could just explain that part. Love your site!!!


Recently my entire life seems to have become a series of to-do lists – which is good in the obvious sense of proactivity but bad in the sense that I can't dedicate more time and energy to certain things – 'This weeks blog' (item 4 on todays list) being one of them.
Week 37 has been rather forgettable to be honest. I spent most of it being under the weather, trying and failing to write songs and generally hating life. As you'd expect it's the songs that bug me the most and right now there are 3 or 4 crackers that I can't quite seem to finish – and it's driving me piano loco.
I think a lot of it comes back to looking after myself better – when I eat and sleep well the songs come easier, as does my general zest for life. I'm not saying I'd like to go on a full detox over-night and start hitting the gym every morning but I do need to start taking my body and it's health more seriously. The problem is that I've never been very good at eating or sleeping and I'd consider myself an expert in smoking and staying up late.
I've said all this before (it's hardly rocket science) and that makes it even worse. I hate myself for running away from the problem and that state of mind won't change until I turn around and look it square in the face.
Step 1 – Pre-order my first ever iPhone.
Step 2 – Get organised. Eat, sleep and feel better.
Step 3 – Receive iPhone and live happily ever after.
Needless to say, 'Holiday' is about a holiday romance.
Everything is better on Holiday – from the food, to the weather, to your parents banter. Everything's just a bit more special when you're in a foreign country and don't have to get up for work the next day. No-one knows why. They're just the rules.
Romance, similarly, is on another level. It was just over 3 years ago and I was only in Spain for a week but I still remember it so well. From the awkward meeting at Cabo Roig, to the cute Irish accent I kept imitating, to the seemingly impossible pool shot I fluked which sealed the deal. Amazing.
We kept in touch for a while and always said we'd meet up but we never did.
The funny thing about romance is that you can put the word 'holiday' before it and things change. Meaningless encounters become significant, 5/10's become marriage material and picture-postcard memories become distorted over time.
Maybe it's because we only pack the best bits of ourselves in to the suitcase or maybe the sea air messes up our brains? Either way I'd do it all again in a heartbeat and I could really use some sun. Take me back to holiday?
Fat chance. Maybe next year.
I love how your blogs perfectly capture certain situations.

Q: Statements with no counterexample Is there some proven statement that tells us "not all X satisfy Y", but there are currently no examples of X which do not satisfy Y?
Is it necessarily true that there are always explicit counterexamples? Or are there statements that only guarantee the existence of such counterexamples, whose construction is impossible in ZFC.

A: The statement "not all X satisfy Y" ($\lnot \forall X\,Y(X)$) is equivalent to "there is an X such that Y is not true of X" ($\exists X\,\lnot Y(X)$), which is equivalent to "there is an X such that 'not Y' is true of X" ($\exists X\,(\lnot Y)(X)$).
That is, for any proposition $Y$, asking for an explicit counterexample for $Y$ is the same as asking for an explicit example of the negation of $Y$.
There are many existence results for which no explicit example is known. In particular, for any such result relying strongly on the Axiom of Choice, we cannot explicitly construct an example. And any such existence result can be rephrased as an example of what you are asking for simply by taking the negation of the property in question.
For example, "There exists a nonmeasurable subset of $\mathbb{R}$" can be rephrased as "Not all subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ are measurable."

A: At least one of the numbers $\pi e$, $\pi+e$ is irrational. But we don't know which (yet).
So in your notation, let $X=\{\pi e,\pi+e\}$, and let $Y$ be the statement "$x$ is rational".

A: There is a standard way to construct these things in classical logic.  Your question is the same as "if we know that at least one $x$ satisfies $Z$, can we find an example of an $x$ that satisfies $Z$" and I'll work with the positive version.
First, choose some well-defined, unambiguous statement whose truth is not known at the moment. For example, P=NP or the Hodge conjecture. Now we can prove there is a natural number $x$ with the following property: "If P=NP then $x=1$ and otherwise $x=0$".  But we can't give an explicit example of an $x$ with that property.
We can actually make the property even more elementary by changing it to "If ZFC proves P=NP then $x=1$ and otherwise $x=0$". That has only one quantifier, over ZFC-proofs, which can be regarded as one quantifier over natural numbers if proofs are represented by numbers.  As before, "P=NP" can be replaced with any unsolved, unambiguous conjecture, e.g. the Hodge conjecture, and the final sentence is still a sentence just about natural numbers.
The point of this example is that it avoids any difficulties with uncountable sets, the axiom of choice, etc. The existence of examples like this shows that systems like PA and ZFC do not have the witness property [1]. That is, just because you can prove a formula of the form $(\exists x)\phi(x)$ does not mean that there is a specific $t$ such that you can prove $\phi(t)$. One of the benefits of constructive systems is that they do have the witness property (meaning you always can find such a $t$) and this is one reason that it's interesting to ask what sorts of mathematics can be proved in such systems.
1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunction_and_existence_properties

A: Cheat: both the universal and existential quantifiers require a "universal set" of discussion, although this is often omitted.
If you choose your universal set as the empty set, I the seemingly contradictory conditions are both vacuously true.

Meg Whitman spends fortune on votes
SAN FRANCISCO – Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for California governor, has surpassed New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for the highest personal contribution in American campaign history.
Whitman's campaign reported another $15 million contribution late Tuesday, bringing her personal donation to $119 million.
The billionaire former eBay chief executive's spending surpasses the previous record of $109 million set by Bloomberg in his bid for a third term last year.
A final report in July showed Bloomberg spent about $186 per vote for his re-election, and he did not take donations.
Whitman, however, has spent the summer aggressively fundraising for her general election race against Democratic Attorney General Jerry Brown.
Whitman planned a visit Wednesday to the San Francisco headquarters of Yelp, an online review site.

Q: Cannot return vector containing derived pointers Okay, so to illustrate the issue I am having I will show some (pseudo) code.
Lets say I have the following models:
class Animal : public GameObject;

class Player : public GameObject;

class GameObject : public ObjectInterface;

class ObjectInterface
{
public:
    virtual ~ObjectInterface() = default;
    virtual vec3 GetPosition() = 0;
}

Now I also hold some "object context", which holds collections of certain game objects.
class ContextObject
{
     // they implement ObjectInterface
     vector<shared_ptr<Animal>> animals;
     vector<shared_ptr<Player>> players;
}

Now I have a TargetSelector class, which works directly with the ObjectInterface only.
class TargetSelector
{
    // this is somehow not possible, although `animals` are a subclass of `ObjectInterface`
    vector<shared_ptr<Model::ObjectInterface>>& GetAvailableTargets()
    {
        return context->animals; // context is some `ObjectContext`
    }
}

I would expect the above code to work, since an Animal is of the type ObjectInterface. But instead I get an error saying it cannot convert from an vector<shared_ptr<Animal>> to an vector<shared_ptr<ObjectInterface>>. Is this even suppose to work?
Could someone explain me why I cannot do this kind of polymorphism and if possible a nice solution so I can make this work.
Thanks, any help is appreciated!

A:
I would expect the above code to work, since an Animal is of the type ObjectInterface.

Unfortunately, class templates don't work that way.
Given
struct Base {};
struct Derived : Base {};

Derived d;
Base& bref = d; // OK.
Base  b = d;    // OK.

However, given
template <tpename T> Foo {};

Foo<Derived> d;
Foo<Base>& bref = d; // Not OK
Foo<Base> b = d;     // Not OK.

Derived is a sub-type of Base does not imply Foo<Derived> is a sub-type of Foo<Base>.
That analogy applies to shared_ptr too. Your problem is compounded by use of another layer of class template. shared_ptr<Derived> is not a sub-type of shared_ptr<Base>. Never mind being able to use vector<shared_ptr<Derived>> when a vector<shared_ptr<Base>> is exepcted.
You can use vector<shared_ptr<ObjectInterface>> in all the places and make sure to cast to the appropriate shared_ptr type before using it.
Check out the various pointer_cast functions at http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/shared_ptr/pointer_cast.


Tired of living in the only Southern state without a publicly financed program of early-childhood education, business leaders across Mississippi have launched a three-year pilot effort to improve the educational quality of child-care centers and better prepare children for school.
Recognizing the grim outlook for their state's budget in the near future, the effort's organizers are not asking for state funds to implement the project, which is expected to cost $3.5 million in the first year. So far, $4.6 million has been committed.
"We need to get Mississippi off the bottom of every bad list in America," said John S. Oxford, a vice president for Resanant Bank in Tupelo, which is part of the Mississippi Economic Council. The council, which is also part of the state chamber of commerce, has listed the phase-in of an early-childhood-education program as one of its top legislative priorities.
The state already pays for a voluntary rating system for child-care centers—called the Quality Step System—and for a resource and referral program that helps parents locate programs.
"The idea is to have this pilot program out there, to look at the results, and then go looking for state and federal funding to create a program that is sustainable and viable," Mr. Oxford said. The new initiative will reach roughly 1,500 children in 50 centers.
Organizers of the effort might also be laying the groundwork for the next gubernatorial election in 2011, suggested Mimi Howard, the early-learning-program director at the Denver-based Education Commission of the States. Unlike his counterparts in other Southern states, Republican Gov. Haley Barbour has not had state-funded preschool at the top of his agenda. Instead, he has favored allowing existing providers to increase services with the help of state money.

Unbelievable price under $1300 to Europe for Christmas/NY peak dates! A long stop over at Beijing, but transit hotels near the airport are very cheap and you can combine you Christmas/NY adventure to Europe with Beijing tour.
There are several dates, but I picked up the best available combination to cover all holidays.
I guess one experience could ruin or save your impression with one airline and that's fair. From news, we heard quite a bit violent stories with United. But my flight with them last year was quite good, even saw a staff member at the counter very patiently comforted an woman who was crying her heart out for some reason. Every one says Singapore Airline is the best, but on one of my flights with them, the staff were horrible. They even yelled at a little boy who was going to the toilet by himself, to go back to his seat. Soon, she realised how rude she was, tried to explain it away to passengers around her using turbulence as an excuse. But there was no turbulence felt by me, and the emergency light wasn't on. I didn't want to pin it on racism, but was very suss about it.
Go there, but a watch and come back.

Wedding planning can be a huge undertaking that many find nearly impossible. This article contains some helpful advice about planning your wedding without losing your mind in the process. It is easier than you think!
TIP! If you decide to handle the food for your wedding, Costco and other wholesale stores are the way to go. When you shop this way, you can buy your food cheaper than at regular retailers.
You may be surprised at how expensive wedding dresses are. When you go shopping for your wedding dress, think outside the box and look at dresses that are not typically considered wedding dresses. A simpler dress may suit your needs and will be less expensive than a typical wedding dress. Even if you want the dress altered to change some of the styling, it could turn out to be cheaper than a wedding dress.
Do not go on a crash diet to fit in the dress. Just like an athlete who is training, starving yourself could cause dehydration. You don't need to faint during the ceremony. Instead, buy a dress with a corset back so you can take it in or out as necessary on the day of your vows.
Try tying small decorative items into each element in the wedding decor. For instance, the ribbon on your bouquet can go with ribbon for your hair, dress, or centerpiece. These details will help your wedding seem perfect, and will show that you have thought about making this day special.
TIP! Don't starve yourself to fit in your wedding dress! Starving yourself will just dehydrate you and make you feel sick. Avoid doing that and fainting before you say your vows! A good idea is to get a dress that has a corset back; this way, you can keep it on or take it off on your wedding day.
TIP! You can add certain decorative elements into the wedding décor in order to personalize. You can use the same ribbon on centerpieces, your dress or as a hair embellishment.
If your family joins you for a destination wedding, have them join your on your honeymoon as well. They can all save some money by staying since the hotels usually offer better discounts for the longer stays. Your guests will have a memorable trip as well.
Even if you've already chosen and bought your dress, it's wise to leave it in the bridal store until the day of your wedding. Putting it away in a closet could cause it to become wrinkled or even stained. Storing it at the store will guarantee it stays pressed and fresh for your wedding day!
If you find it in your budget, you can have your wedding booked on a cruise with your close friends and family. The honeymoon can ensue right after the wedding is over! Some cruises will offer discounts if you are getting married.
Be sure that children who are appearing in your wedding are dressed in comfortable, well-fitting clothing. Stick to soft fabrics that fit just loosely enough to not cause discomfort. Shoes need to be broken in and comfortable. This small detail can ensure that the children remain focused on their part in the wedding, instead of fidgeting with uncomfortable clothing.
Be sure to prepare well for your first meeting with your wedding planner. Take notes from different designers or stylists that have look books or mood boards that show swatches of fabric, images or other things that give your planner an idea of what you want. Magazine clippings, other pictures and anything else you find can help you communicate your desired vision to a wedding planner.
The gift registry is a time-honored wedding tradition. Your guests will appreciate knowing that a gift is not a requirement. Give them options if they insist on bringing something. Your guests should be comfortable bringing gifts they can afford.
In order to prepare in dancing when it comes to your first dance, practice dancing a couple days before the wedding using a long skirt. Be sure to practice dancing with your soon-to-be husband, so that he can get used to your long skirt, too! This will get him used to dancing with you in your dress, especially if the lower half of the dress is unusually puffy.
TIP! If you wish to have a wedding cake that stands out and is a focal point in your reception, you may want to consider a matching piece of fabric. To make things interesting, fabric can be solid, patterned or heavily textured materials of silk, satin or velvet.
Wedding planning can actually be enjoyable and fairly stress free. Anyone can have the wedding and reception of their dreams with helpful tips and the assistance of others. Apply all of the advice that you have read into your wedding for the best results.

SA's medical marvel who cheated death, defiant to the end - Helen Caldicott, M.D.
WHEN Vilma Taylor's seven-month-old baby Brad was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in 1964, the specialist assured her he'd be dead before long.
But Brad Taylor, helped by three strong women and an Australian-first heart-lung transplant, defied that prognosis to become South Australia's most prominent advocate to find a cure for the killer genetic disease that clogs the lungs and digestive system with mucus.
He died on January 5, at 53, which sounds too young but was really a great victory. Even today, life expectancy in South Australia for the six to eight children born each year with cystic fibrosis is only around 37-38 years.
"There was too much pain at the end, in hospital," Vilma said, after the funeral service for her son this week.
It was what he'd always done. But he didn't fight alone.
Vilma battled to keep him alive in the early years. Dr Helen Caldicott — the famous antinuclear campaigner and Adelaide doctor — gave him lifesaving intensive treatment at the age of seven. And just over 10 years ago, he married the love of his life, Kaye.
Then there was the landmark 1990 heart-lung transplant in Melbourne that doubled his lifespan and saw him dubbed a medical marvel.
"After 25 years of being stuck at home, it was like being reborn," he said at the time.
Suddenly he was able to play sport, skydive, run with the Olympic torch, and his new livewire status gave him a profile to push the cystic fibrosis cause.
But even with his grit and his mother's determination, he wouldn't have made it out of childhood without the help of a young Adelaide medico Dr Helen Caldicott, who recalls when she first saw Brad, "he was clearly on the way out".
The Taylors were lucky. Dr Caldicott had spent time at Harvard and had seen the latest treatments the Americans had developed. Australia needed to catch up. There were figures showing half of patients with cystic fibrosis in Adelaide died at four years, compared with 17 in American clinics.
After some hiccups, she helped win support for a cystic fibrosis clinic at the Adelaide Children's Hospital.
"He was blue (from lack of oxygen)," Dr Caldicott said of her first meeting with Brad.
He was strong-willed and obstinate, and would only eat a few foods, including sausage rolls, and Vegemite.
A lifelong bond was formed. "They both loved one another," said Vilma.
Dr Caldicott, who spoke at Mr Taylor's service, said he was "the most remarkable patient I've ever had".
But when her work took her to the US, she began to worry he was running out of time.
Again, Mr Taylor defied expectations, fighting on to 25 when he received what Dr Caldicott believes was the first heart-lung transplant in Australia for a cystic fibrosis patient.
It was a "domino" transplant, where his heart went to a female patient, and he picked up the heart and lung of a woman donor.
He went in blue, his mother recalled, and within hours of the operation, was pink. His life turned around.
He finished more than 15 City-to-Bays, skydived into a Crows match, and "lost" his second heart to Kaye, a schoolteacher, who says she fell in love with his enthusiasm and positive outlook.
The pair met when he was well, but it was not long before other health troubles cast a shadow.
In 2005, he had kidney failure, from the many drugs he'd needed to take.
The following year he had a stroke. "The doctors were adamant he wouldn't survive," Kaye said.
He treated the new problems as hurdles to leap over.
They travelled to the world transplant games in Sweden, in 2011.
Then they went to Paris, and travelled around Australia. Photos at Disneyland show him smiling like a child.
But two years ago, his mother said, he started having falls. He broke ribs, shoulder, ankle, toes. He hadn't walked in the last 12 months. He had cancer too, and lost his nose. The cancer spread, and last December gastrointestinal issues put him back in hospital.
Kaye said the radiation therapy from the cancer took the last of his physical reserves.
With so many complications, she is not certain what killed her husband but thinks it was renal failure.
The three women were together to farewell him at the service. He would want them to keep talking about his life and the disease which six to eight South Australians are born with each year, Kaye said.

B.O.M.B Fest 2011 re-cap (Sunday May 29th)
- by Meghan Chiampa
Photos by Robinson Hill
We didn't get into a hotel until 4am. Not because of Rock and Roll reasons, we just didn't make reservations and every hotel around the area was booked. Sunday at the B.O.M.B fest was WAY more happenin' than Saturday, not talent-wise, there were just a lot more people there. The two best local acts we saw on Sunday were back-to-back: Cosmic Dust Bunnies followed by The Backyard Commitee. The Cosimic Dust Bunnies live up to their name. Spacey and other-worldly with a gentle jam-band-esque demenor. The Backyard Commitee (New Haven, CT) is more roots heavy rock with a blues attitude. They were widly buzzed about. Here's some shots of The Backyard Commitee.

B.O.M.B Fest 2011 re-cap (Saturday May 28th)
The atmostphere at the BOMB festival was probably one of the more calmer but still high-energy, less-douchebaggy ones (more love, less violence) that I've experienced in a festival atmosphere. Covering two days at the Comcast Center in Hartford, the BOMB festival featured a great varitey of acts from Weezer, to Snoop Dogg to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
One of the great things about the BOMB festival were the featured local acts. I have a suspicion that the venue sold much less tickets then it was counting on. Which is a shame, and this is all on assumption, but they did a really good job collecting and promoting acts regional and national. I was reluctant to go to The Comcast Center. I don't really like the corporate festivals. They seem to be doused in product placement, etc. This is the first time The Comcast Center has hosted a non-profit event -- all the proceeds went to The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp and Connecticut Children's Hospital.
We got there a little late on Saturday, around 4pm, there weren't many people there, but the bands were still giving their all.
The first band that really caught our ears was Forget Paris out of Derby, Connecticut who won the crowd with their feirce power-pop melodies. We got a chance to hang out with them backstage, share some mini-Budweisers and chat it up.

Album of the Month: Laughing Man - The Lovings ('63-'69)
Low fidelity swagger. That's what Laughing Man's debut album, The Lovings ('63-'69), exudes. It's a short album that spans only seven tracks, but it is dense with artistic potential. The first thing you will notice when listening to this album is the unique sound of the production. The vocals of singer Brandon Moses are quivering and distorted, hiding just below the surface in a way that convinces your ears they are listening to antique vinyl. The guitar and drums manage to be both tastefully understated and sonically raunchy. The song structures are simple but based around the sophisticated voices of jazz chords and a wide range of tonality.
I feel tempted to write about this album in a way that suggests that its very genius is founded on a perfectly balanced merge between classic blues and soul and the leading edge of rock music; that the juxtaposition between post-modern soundscapes (such as the lovely minimalist droning on "Swirl") and dripping-with-attitude blues manages to adeptly cross musical boundaries in style as well as in the audience that appreciates and supports it. I'd like to go on and on about those things - about how a whole history of music that has thrived in D.C. is somehow apparent in seven short songs. I'd really like to point out that the last track on the album, "Mood and Dress," manages to consolidate all of those points the strongest. This is possibly the most self-aware track on the album with Moses's emotion filled vocals ringing in the fuzzy background as bubbly supporting voices are brought to the very front of the song in perfect clarity.
However, I feel pretty sure that the band would cringe at reading that sort of review. Getting back to my original thesis, I'm reasonably confident that Laughing Man really just took all the music that they grew up loving and stirred it up into a really great debut. It's lo-fi without pretention and an homage to the early days of soul without sounding geriatric (despite what the album's aging title may imply...)

Johnny Depp forced to quit Fantastic Beasts 3 - reports
Updated / Friday, 6 Nov 2020 17:59
Johnny Depp has been forced to quit his role in Fantastic Beasts 3 after losing his libel trial against The Sun newspaper.
Depp, writing on Instagram, said that AT&T Inc's Warner Bros movie studio had asked him to leave his role as villain Gellert Grindelwald. "I have respected and agreed to that request," he said.
Sky News reports that Depp's role as dark wizard Grindelwald in the franchise is understood to have been re-cast already.
The 57-year-old actor said he had agreed to a request to step down from the part but said on social media that the "surreal judgment" of the High Court trial "will not change my fight to tell the truth".
In a court judgment in London earlier this week, Judge Justice Nicol ruled that a report in The Sun claiming Depp was violent towards his ex-wife Amber Heard was "substantially true".
The ruling has thrown the actor's future into doubt, with commentators wondering if any major film studios will be willing to work with him again.
In the April 2018 Sun report, entitled "Gone Potty: How can J K Rowling be 'genuinely happy' casting wife beater Johnny Depp in the new Fantastic Beasts film?", allegations were made about Depp's alcohol and drug abuse and his treatment of Heard.
Depp sued the newspaper and he and Heard both gave evidence in court, with Depp telling the High Court that the article had caused serious harm to his personal and professional reputation.
However, the judge did not find in his favour, ruling that while Depp, "proved the necessary elements of his cause of action in libel", News Group Newspapers showed that what they published was "substantially true".
Depp's legal team have said they will appeal and that the decision, calling it "as perverse as it is bewildering" and "flawed".
Fantastic Beasts author JK Rowling has not commented on Depp's departure from the film franchise.

We find if very difficult to believe that a good looking young man like Ben Hazlewood would have any trouble in the 'loveless' department.
But the title track from Ben's 2013 EP, released to media this morning, is about a moment in the singer's past, as he reveals.
Ben rose to prominence in Australia as a contestant on the first series of 'The Voice' and was previously a contestant on 'New Zealand Idol' (where he reached the last four).
'Loveless' was co-produced by Molly Meldrum and features both a six piece string section and an appearance by the National Boys Choir of Australia.
The single is available now.

SAN ANTONIO -- Early Sunday evening, LeBron James will gather his Miami Heat teammates around him and offer a few final words of wisdom before they try to extend their reign as NBA champions. James never rehearses the speech, but already knows what the gist will be. "It would be in the range of, Why not us?" James said Saturday. "Why not us? History is broken all the time. And obviously we know were against the greatest of odds." Against the greatest of odds, against maybe the greatest of San Antonio Spurs teams, too. Both are very much against the Heat now, and both are winning. The Spurs are a victory away from their fifth championship, and will go for it at home Sunday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs are the 32nd team in NBA history to hold a 3-1 lead in the finals. All 31 of the previous teams have won the title. "History is made to be broken, and why not me be a part of it? That would be great," James said. "That would be a great story line, right? But well see what happens. Ive got to live in the moment, though, before we even get to that point." The Spurs have the same way of thinking. They took command of the finals in stunning fashion by not just winning in Miami, but winning twice -- and winning big. San Antonio won Games 3 and 4 on the road by a combined 40 points, never trailing by more than two in either contest and running out to 25-point leads in each. "Weve got to act like were coming into it like its a road game," Spurs guard Danny Green said. "Its a mentality thing. We have to come up with the same mentality we do on the road and try to protect home court and play with desperation." There was no talk from the Spurs on Saturday about closing in on a title, or anything remotely close to that topic. They thought they had it wrapped up with 28 seconds left in Game 6 last season against Miami and saw it slip away -- so even with a 3-1 lead and being at home instead the road for this potential clinching situation, its pretty clear that San Antonio isnt willing to leave anything to chance. "Theyre going to come out and give us their best punch possible," Spurs star Tim Duncan said. "We know that theyre back-to-back champs and theyve been in this situation before and they have all the confidence in the world that they can win these games. So we have to do just the same. Come out there and say, hey, were going to take it little by little, quarter by quarter, and see what happens." That all sounds good, and he meant every word. Thing is, the Heat -- these Heat, anyway -- havent been in this situation before. Since James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh teamed up, the Heat have never trailed 3-1 in a series. Until now. "Were not so entitled or jaded that were above having to fight for it, and thats what it is right now," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Its competition. So weve got to find a way to fight and get this next game, and thats what its all about." Miami took a day off Friday. Mario Chalmers played with his son, James watched some film and rested at home, Udonis Haslem tried to relax with family. Wade, who missed nine of his first 10 shots -- raising questions about his health -- went a different way. He went into the gym, by himself, looking for answers. "I have very good reason that everything could change," Wade said. "As I continue to say throughout the season, its a game-to-game thing." Wade was down 2-0 in the 2006 finals, and trailed by 13 points in the fourth quarter of Game 3 of that series against Dallas. The Heat won that championship in six games. "You have to pull from your experiences," Wade said, "and know where you came from to know where youre trying to go." That also applies to the Spurs. Losing the last two games of the finals last year still stings San Antonio. That series was portrayed widely as the Spurs last hurrah -- an aging team with old stars, theres no way they could come back from something as devastating as letting the 2013 championship slip away, right? Wrong. The Spurs finished with the best record in the regular season, and are one win shy of just being the best team, period. "Whatever success anyone has is due to a lot of factors," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Some of it is not even your doing. Sometimes things just happen. So success is a pretty complicated thing." So are comebacks. But James is eager for the chance. "For me, its like you either dont make the playoffs or you win a championship," James said. "Theres no in-between." Igor Larionov Jersey .

Nadal is already a record eight-time champion with a lifetime 65-1 record at Roland Garros. One more victory on the red clay will make him the first man to win five in a row and give him his 14th Grand Slam title -- tied in second place with Pete Sampras. The top-seeded Spaniard reached the final by beating Wimbledon champion Andy Murray 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 Friday on Court Philippe Chatrier, the stadium Nadal calls his favourite place to play. Djokovic defeated Ernests Gulbis 6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in the first semifinal. Nadal has beaten Djokovic at the French Open in all five of their meetings, starting with a quarterfinal victory in 2006. They also met in the semifinals in 2007, 08 and 13, and in the final in 2012. The second-seeded Djokovic, however, has beaten Nadal the last four times they have played, including on clay in the final in Rome last month. "Im going to try to be aggressive, because that is the only way I can win against him," Djokovic said.dddddddddddd "I know that, of course, this is the court hes most dominant on. He has only lost one time in his career. This is where he plays his best." The winner on Sunday will also be ranked No. 1 on Monday. Nadal is currently at the top, but needs to extend his French Open winning streak to 35 matches to stay there. He certainly played like the No. 1 on Friday. Nadal jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first set, then broke early again in the second and third sets. The Spaniard had six break points in the entire match, and converted each one. Murray, meanwhile, couldnt even manage to earn a single break point. Besides his eight titles at the French Open, Nadal has also won twice at Wimbledon, twice at the U.S. Open and once at the Australian Open. Sampras won 14 major titles in his career, but never the French Open. The record holder is Roger Federer with 17 Grand Slam titles. He won his 14th in Paris in 2009, the only French Open in which Nadal lost a match. ' ' '

Ski Holidays by Rail From Amsterdam This Winter

The Dutch division of TUI, Europe's largest holiday company and parent of Britain's biggest ski holiday company, Crystal, has announced they'll be running a new overnight train service to some of Austria's biggest ski resorts from Amsterdam this winter.
Like the existing Travelski Express service direct to the French Alps from London St Pancras, the service will run to a limited number of resorts and require skiers to book a full holiday package. It won't be permitted to just buy a train ticket.
"Offering our customers a choice of transport is a great approach. We have this first pilot test at TUI Netherlands and I look forward to learning from the experience. What is successful in one market, we at TUI can quickly roll out to other markets. Sustainability and innovation are very important to all of us and the Netherlands are quite often pioneers. I'm curious about the experience. Will keep you updated on LinkedIn," commented Sebastian Ebel, CEO of TUI Group as of October 1st.
However the new service does open up the option for Brits to book independently on the direct Eurostar train to Amsterdam (which takes less than four hours), then buy a package to join the TUI train. Doing so would mean only needing to change platform, rather than station, as is currently the case in Paris for independent travellers heading to the French Alps via Eurostar.
Daniel Elkan of ski-holidays by train specialist site SnowCarbon.co.uk warns that doing so would be going the long way round though, commenting… "It's better for Brits to connect at Cologne, via Brussels. Much shorter journey."
The TUI 'Ski Express' will depart from Amsterdam at 5.30pm every Friday night between 23 December and 31 March, with a stop at Utrecht, arriving in the Austrian Alps on Saturday morning.
The train will enter Austria at Wörgl then split into two services – one to Tirol, the other to Salzburg, . with stops at ski resorts including Gerlos (Zillertal Arena ski area), Kirchberg (Kitzbuhel ski area), Niederau (Ski Juwel region), Soll (Skiwelt region), Zell Am See (below) and Westendorf.
Customers must book a 10 day package with a night on the train in each direction. Sleeping options include couchettes sleeping three, four or five passengers and three and four-bed sleeper cabins.
The TUI Ski Express has big shoes to fill, but. From the late 1970s until the mid-1990s, the TUI Ferien Express was the choice for millions of holidaymakers in Germany, while additional holiday trains have been successful in other European TUI markets like Sweden.
Another leading European holiday company, Sunweb, announced similar plans for a rail service from Brussels to the Alps earlier this year.
Rail travel generates around 5% of the CO2 emissions per passenger mile compared to the same trip by air.
Sondre Ringen takes the home win


I spent a couple of days sniffing perfumes which turned out to be from the same house. One I enjoyed, the other I didn't, and at the end of it, I was a bit tired of florals, so I thought I'd do a two for one post and be done with it.
Lily? Green, green, green. The sweetness is flowery, rather than sugary. It smells the way I wish that BPAL (Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab) Bayou smelled – wet, flowery, green.
Enjoyable drydown, can't say what it is. A whiff of incense?
This became a skin scent fairly quickly, seemingly at one or two hours, and definitely by four hours of wear. The drydown was a sort of warm, skin-smelling incense/musk.
The Reveal: Madam X by Alkemia Perfumes.
bergamot, mandarin, dark violet, Italian iris, black orchid, Japanese incense, orris root, sueded musk, white sandalwood, Tahitian vanilla, and pale patchouli.
Well, all I really smelled was a sort of amalgam of florals, that musk, and a tendril of incense. I did not smell any citrus. Either I couldn't smell it, or my sample was old (it was given to me as a freebie from a fellow BPAL enthusiast) and the citruses had already died and gone to heaven. As of this writing, I can smell the vanilla. Perhaps sitting right in front of my heater helps that note fluff up. It's kind of nice, but a little weird with the musk. I can also smell a hay note at the moment, which I want to attribute to the iris. Who knows!
The Verdict: I liked this perfume a lot, and had a good reaction to it. Would I purchase it? No. I like my perfumes to last all day, and I think that oils especially should do that, though this one is cheaper than the General Catalog BPAL oils, and a few bucks cheaper than Solstice Scents, so maybe the difference in price makes up for the longevity.
Madam X was a bit too generic of a floral for me, with no one or more notes really standing out, and though I enjoyed it, I also found it boring.
"Spicy floral, undertone of wet earth, a bit rough/harsh on my nostrils, kind of makes me feel ill, like vomiting.
More pleasant at a distance, wafts up from my wrist to my nose quite well. Decent projection.
mosses, crushed wet ferns, earthy calamus root, piquant cedar tips, galbanum, balsam pine, lichen, disturbed autumnal leaves, and aromatic incense woods.
I didn't smell ANY of that, except for a bit of incense. What I found SO interesting, is that when I looked at the sample initially and smelled it, I totally smelled wet mosses and green, foresty smells. Not so at all when smelling blind. Again, the nose and the eyes: two very different organs when it comes to interpretation. Giving it another sniff as I write now, I think I'm picking up that lily/honeysuckle (whatever, I don't know what it is) note and my eyes/intellect are interpreting it as a green, wet scent, but left on its own, my nose really picks up the floral component, and leaves everything else behind.
So, The Verdict: I had a bad reaction to this one when smelled blind. I like it much better when I sniff and test it knowingly. Would I purchase it? Eh, no.
My initial reaction: it actually made me feel physically ill a few times when smelled blind, and I think that is to be heeded. Also, it (and Madam X) are not stand-out perfumes to me. They feel as generic as an independently created floral perfume oil can be.
So there you have it. And there I have it. Perhaps there is something in the Alkemia catalog that would knock my socks off, but I'm happy not to go down that rabbit hole to try to find it.
Until next time, my perfume friends!
