Ren Faire... soon!
It will be that time of the year again, the Renaissance Faire at Irwindale, CA. It's a great place to spend weekend time, do something different and exciting and, sure enough, a fantastic opportunity to sketch the most picturesque characters. Unfortunately chances are this time I might not be able to attend (for the first time in years actually), but just in case here are some drawings I did on the spot back in 2010.

Ladies and Warriors
I already posted these three once, although that was a very long time ago and chances are you might have not seen them yet (apologies otherwise, it's been very very busy again, no time for new stuff at this point).
The two life drawing sketches were done while at Sony, where we had those great sessions that the Studio and Karl Gnass put together for everyone. The armored soldier as you can see dates back from 2007.

We saw a pretty muddy clip yesterday, but today Lucasarts has released official media for its upcoming Star Wars title 1313. And, yeah, at least visually, the thing looks great.
I'm not sure the world, let alone this E3, needs another third-person, cover-based shooter, but just seeing the "classic" Star Wars universe make a video game return is good enough for me. For now.
In the gallery above you'll find three gameplay clips (direct-feed, not capped off a livecast) and a bunch of screenshots.

How badly have Republican fortunes foundered? George Bush will try to teach the GOP in Congress on fiscal discipline today with a veto of the bloated farm bill passed last week. Unfortunately, no one expects the veto to hold:
The White House said Wednesday that President Bush will veto the recently passed farm bill sometime during the day, but conceded that the overwhelming vote count means a veto override is "likely."
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino could not say for sure when the veto would come, adding that the president would continue to work with members of Congress to try to sustain his move.
That said, Perino acknowledged that the large margins by which the bill passed indicate the veto will not hold.
Only 15 Senators voted against this bill, and 106 Representatives followed suit. That won't be nearly enough to prevent a veto override for the package of subsidies and pork that commanded the approval of the majority of Republicans in both chambers. Meanwhile, the package looks even worse than it did before it got sent to the White House:
A major new program in the recently enacted farm bill could increase taxpayer-financed payments to farmers by billions of dollars if high commodity prices decline to more typical levels, administration and congressional budget officials said yesterday.
The potential costs came to light as administration officials pored over details of the 673-page, $307 billion legislation. President Bush has promised to veto the measure, which he called "bloated." The House and Senate passed the bill by bipartisan margins large enough to override him unless dozens of lawmakers switch sides. …
But fellow Republican Rep. Jeff Flake (Ariz.), a strong critic of the new farm bill, accused House and Senate negotiators of "unbelievable gall."
"I don't think any of us had a clue this was in there. It was simply dropped into the conference report," he said.
What a shock! This is what usually happens when Republicans and Democrats work in a bipartisan fashion on spending bills. They cut themselves hefty slices of pork, stick it to the taxpayer, and insert it into legislation in the most cowardly fashion possible.
Meanwhile, Tom Cole and John Boehner are set to announce yet another plan to save the GOP from itself:
After a week of tension and recriminations following a special election loss in Mississippi, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner and NRCC Chairman Tom Cole will unveil a series of changes Wednesday aimed at quelling criticism and positioning their party for November's elections.
Cole is expected to add veteran Republican political operative Ed Brookover to his staff as a consultant and liaison with lawmakers, GOP insiders said. Brookover, who served as the National Republican Congressional Committee's executive director from 1995 to 1999, has close ties to Boehner, Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri and Republican Conference Chairman Adam Putnam of Florida, according to one GOP aide. …
The moves represent a modest détente between Cole and Boehner, but they might not be enough to mollify a restive party rife with fears that November 2008 will be a replay of November 2006.
At this rate, a replay of 2006 might be the best they can muster. Want a plan that convinces Americans that you understand the lesson of 2006? Start by upholding the veto on this bloated cheeseburger of a farm bill. When George Bush tells you that you're overspending, it's like W. C. Fields taking your car keys at a party.

All he said was don't aim for my head
10/13/08 5:00 pm MST
Rock Pile Rant was ranked # 26 for the month of October so far. Best part was I came in ahead of a couple of Red Sox Blogs, and their team is in the Playoffs…Thanks for supporting the Rant..Wait till next season…Bring it on…D !
It is no secret I'm not a Red Sox lover. They destroyed the Rockies last year during the World Series. I don't hate them like I want to kick their butt hate, I just dislike them cause they made the Rockies look like chumps. So yes, it's sort of a jealous hate I'll admit it.
So for me and other Rockies fans, it would be sweet justice to see them fall flat on their collective faces.
It befuddles me how many Boston fans live in my state of Colorado. I can't go a single day without hearing something about the flippin Red Sox. I hate that.
Big Papi, Lester, Beckett, Youkilis, all names I've grown to detest. I respect their ability, I just don't care for them.
Get this, those Boston fans were actually booing their team today. The same team that won the World Series last year. Go figure.
Some Boston fans are jacked up. Not all of them.
So thank you Tampa Bay, it was nice to hear Fenway quiet except for the Bostonians booing for their own team.
I don't get the booing?
I believe were beginning to see Boston unravel. But what do I know, I'm just a Rockies fan.
My pick to win the World Series after I realized that the Rockies were done for the season was the Phillies.
There was no strategy behind my pick. I have a couple of friends that are Phillies fans and I figured it would be cool to root for the same team as them for a change.
Any other time I would be talking endless smack to each of them about the Phillies. Guess I've come full circle.
I was born in California, and I have absolutley no loyalty to that Republic whatsoever.
I can't even think of one California team in any sport that I like. Ok, maybe the Lakers when Magic Johnson used to play. I love his name.
Hiroki Kuroda was stellar. He won this game in a little over six innings. He also showed his team that he has some steel knads. They ought to call this guy the Japanese headhunter.
It took some guts to toss a pitch at Shane Victorino's head, because you know whats going to happen next.
Benches cleared, oh hell yea. WE ALL knew it was coming. Baseball is funny like that. Revenge is alive and well in the MLB, with Manny Ramirez leading the way. I like Manny, but it wouldn't have broke my heart if he had thrown a few punches and got himself suspended a couple of games.
Did you catch the interview with Shane right after the game?
He was trying to be all calm about it, but clearly his adreneline was still pumping. He kept repeating, I'm ok if he pitches to me on the inside, but don't aim for the head.
I think he repeated that about fifteen times in a two minute interview. The brawl was kept under control and not one player was ejected.
Game 4 is starting shortly and Derek Lowe is on the mound for the Dodgers. Pitching for the Phillies is Joe Blanton. This is going to be a good game. I bet I'm more hyped than October Gonzo and don't have near the hook ups that dude does. Eat your heart out G.

sciatica herbal treatment - Exercises For Sciatica
Exercises For Sciatica
Before we look at a few exercises for sciatica it is important to understand what sciatica is. Often misused and not clearly defined,
is not a diagnosis in itself but in actuality sciatica is a set of symptoms being caused by another medical issue, most often a slipped or herniated disk. The term sciatica refers to the pain caused when one ore more of the nerves exiting the lower spine are being compressed or irritated. These nerves exiting the lower spines make up the sciatic nerve. A herniated or slipped disk is not the only medical condition that can cause sciatica but it is the most common.

Great Product
Occasionally, the sciatic nerve roots - which start at the base of the spine and stretch all the way to the feet through the buttock and legs - get compressed or irritated causing pain not only in the lower back but also in the buttocks, thighs, legs, extending even to the feet.
About the Author:
Orit Cox is a Holistic Health Practitioner and massage therapist in San Diego, CA and content writer for PregnancyMomandBaby.com, an information resource for pregnancy and mothers. Orit is also the author of The Pregnancy Pain Guide, featured at PregnancyPainRelief.com, where you can discover easy-to-implement techniques to relieve back pain from pregnancy.
In order to maintain a healthy back during pregnancy, it is essential to engage in a regular exercise regimen.?? Exercise is essential for controlling and avoiding back pain.?? When your muscles are weak and inflexible, you are more likely to hurt.?? Regular exercise will stretch and strengthen your muscles and ligaments to better support your spine and prevent pregnancy back ache from occurring.
Specific exercises to alleviate low back pain during pregnancy include pelvic tilt exercises, Kegel exercises, back stretches, hamstring stretches, chest stretches, and wall squats.?? For detailed information on how to do these stretches and exercises, you can visit http://www.pregnancymomandbaby.com/painanddiscomfort/back_exercises_for_pregnancy.html
Very rarely, though,
pain can be extremely severe and debilitating for patients who are recommended surgery. New surgical techniques like microsurgery and percutaneous removals allow patients to undergo these procedures and come out of the hospital much faster than ever before, decreasing the loss of work time.
Many people think of sciatica, symptoms of which include pain down the leg, some numbness and weakness of the limbs as just another case of lower back pain and believe that with sufficient rest, the pain will go away. However,
is a little more serious than that.
Tip 2: Lifting of Heavy Objects: Try to share the load of very heavy objects with others. If you have to lift something by yourself, hold it close to you and then bend your knees, rather than bending your back.
For example, chiropractic treatment is one such method in which you are offered non-invasive and medication-free therapies, to treat your sciatica. Chiropractic treatments can involve ultrasounds, TENS, spinal adjustments and cold therapies. Other alternative methods of treatment include acupuncture or acupressure, in which fine needles are stuck at specific points to help relieve pain; yoga, which involve stretching exercises and help a certain kind of sciatica pain and biofeedback, which is said to be a mind-body therapy helping you train your mind and body in controlling your reactions to pain.
I wanted to talk to you about how you can get relief from
back pain. I think back pain is probably considered one of the worst pains you can ever experience. It's something that I can only describe as crippling. It's not like any other pain you've ever experienced because this pain shoots across your back like a violent thunderstorm. It's not a typical type of pain and when you feel it, your body doesn't want to respond with movement because it doesn't want to feel it again. Sometimes my breathing becomes shallow because taking a deep breath will cause shooting pains in my back. I'm going to talk to you about how to get relief from
back pain.

The odd thing about back pain is that it isn't real pain, when you look at it. Essentially what is happening is that there is pressure being applied to specific nerves in your back and around the spine that produce the pain. Often one of your spinal discs could have burst or gone down way too much and your spinal columns are grinding right on a nerve. A tense muscle that is pressuring a nerve can cause another type of pain.
Your center of gravity is changing. Your abdomen is shifting out and down, and your spine curves backward to try to compensate for this shift. As a result, your spinal muscles become sore and tired, and more prone to injury and strain.
As your uterus expands and your baby grows, it also causes immense changes in your posture, which can result in aching. As your abdomen and uterus stretch, it puts a greater strain on your back muscles.
Take extra care to be aware of how you bend and move. That alone can help prevent discomfort before it begins. Back pain in pregnant women can be frustrating, for sure, but you can find relief. Be sure you are getting adequate rest, nutrition, and exercise, and you will be on the way to eliminating backaches for good.
Posterior pelvic pain is often mistaken as
. When you have
, it causes discomfort not only in the low back, hips, buttocks, and thighs, but also in the legs. With
, the leg pain is generally more severe than the spinal pain, and is accompanied by numbness, tingling, or pin-pricking sensations. This aching and numbness generally radiates all the way into the toes. Numbness may also extend to the groin and genital areas.
is generally caused by a herniated or bulging disk. Your risk of low back pain during pregnancy increases if you have had back aches before becoming pregnant or during a previous pregnancy. You also have an increased risk of prenatal back pain if you are carrying twins or are overweight.
Tip 1: Posture, Posture, Posture: Maintaining a good posture while standing and sitting go a long way to avoid damage to the spine. Also one should avoid sitting or standing for very long periods.
There are many ways of treating
but there also many ways of preventing sciatica in the first place. We will look at some of the best ways to prevent and treat
Tip 4: Medication and Physical Therapy: If you are suffering from lower back and leg pain, you could start off with simple painkillers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol. If the pain is severe, affecting your day-to-day activities and simple painkillers do not work, you could have an anti-inflammatory medication prescribed for you. At times, these too are not enough and your doctor may suggest an epidural injection. In this, the medication is injected into the spine, which directs it to the areas of the sciatic nerve roots, soothing them and relieving the pain.
Tip 5: Alternative Methods of Treatment: Other than medication and surgery, many patients suffering from sciatica have tried alternative methods of treatment and have claimed great success with them.

But what does all that have to do with lower back pain? Well, unfortunately, your body is unable to isolate which ligaments and joints will stretch and loosen, and this happens on a broad scale throughout your body. As the ligaments and muscles which normally support your spine become lax, it can result in some instability in the spine, which can result in aching and discomfort.
Almost all these treatments are accompanied or followed by physical therapy, under a physician's supervision or on his prescribed course. This kind of physical therapy concentrates on building the muscles around the sciatica nerve roots so as to strengthen the lower back.
There are two common types of low back pain in pregnancy, lumbar pain and posterior pelvic pain. Lumbar pain is similar to the kind of back pain you may have experienced before you became pregnant. Lumbar discomfort is felt in the lower spine, at the level of, or slightly higher than, your waist. It can also result in pain that radiates to your legs.
If your back pain if very intense, is rhythmic and feels like menstrual cramps, or is causing numbness, you should contact your health care provider.
Back pain in pregnant women is a very common complaint. In fact, as many as 80% of pregnant women will have back pain at some time during their pregnancy. There are several types of back pain that occur among expectant mothers, but low back pain is the most common. But why does your low back hurt during pregnancy?
Lumbar discomfort can be triggered by sitting or standing for extended periods of time or by repetitive lifting. Posterior pelvic pain is low back ache that is experienced behind the pelvis, below the waist, and/or across the tailbone or sacrum. It can also be felt in the buttocks, on one or both sides, or in the back of the thighs. You may also have pubic pain. Posterior pelvic pain occurs four times more frequently than lumbar pain during pregnancy.
This article will explore the causes of back pain during pregnancy, discuss the different types of back pain that occur, and provide information about what can be done to prevent and relieve prenatal back pain.
The medical term for
is a radiculopathy, which means that a spinal disc has extended beyond its normal position and is irritating the radicular nerve (nerve root) in the lower back, which connects with the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve branches off as it travels down the lower extremity through the back of the leg, and thus pain can be experienced along this route. Even though it may seem counterintuitive, healing sciatica pain through exercise is better than bed rest. Resting for a day or two after the patients sciatica flares up is acceptable, but inactivity after this time will usually make the pain worse. Your back muscles and spinal structure become deconditioned without exercise and movement and are less able to support the back. Leading to strain and further back injury this deconditioning and weakening is the most common reason for additional back pain. If you want to have healthy spinal discs you need to make sure that you are exercising. Nutrients and fluids are exchange within discs through movement and help to keep them healthy. The focus of most
exercises are on strengthening the back and abdominal muscles to provide more strength and support for your back. If you have muscles that cause pain when they are tight and inflexible, stretching exercises for
targeted muscles is recommended. When you partake in stretching and strengthening exercises, the average patient will recover more quickly from a sciatica episode and prevent future flare ups of the pain. Because sciatic pain is not caused by the same ailments, specific sciatica exercises are recommended depending on the cause of the pain. Its just like bringing your car into the mechanic, if the muffler is the problem then rotating the wheels will most likely not fix the problem. A certified athletic trainer, physical therapist, chiropractor or or spine specialist who deals with back and leg pain associated with
may recommend a treatment program with exercise being a part of it. Making sure you are properly diagnosed before starting a specific sciatica exercise program is important because, while it is rare, sciatica pain can be cause by serious medical conditions such as a tumor or infection that require prompt medical attention. I was going to list an assortment of exercises that one could do but I don't think with what I have said in my above statement that this would be a good idea. Self diagnosis can often lead to further injury so I stick to what I wrote and recommend that before you start specific sciatica exercises you should consult one of the above recommended specialists and discuss a treatment plan with a professional.
Tip 3: Exercise Regularly: Regular exercise will not only help you in your general fitness but also in the fitness of your lower back. Abdominal crunches are very helpful in strengthening your lower back. Swimming or Walking can also help with the lower back.
Backache can occur for a number of reasons, which can be reduced to two main issues: hormones and postural changes. During pregnancy, your body produces a veritable cocktail of hormones. Among these is a hormone called relaxin. The primary role of relaxin is to loosen the joints and ligaments in your body in order to help them stretch and widen. This allows your body to more easily make room for your baby inside of your pelvis. And, when the time comes for your baby to be born, the hormone relaxin will have helped the joints of your pelvis relax and stretch enough for your baby's shoulders to pass through your pelvic bones.
Posterior pelvic discomfort can be aggravated by bending, twisting, rolling, climbing stairs, and prolonged leaning forward such as occurs when you sit at a computer for extended periods of time.
If you want relief from sciatica back pain you have a few exercises available to you that can help take pressure away from these nerves. Lie on your back, pull your knees up to your chest and hug them. This causes the lower back to stretch out and that is really the only way to stretch it. That will take a lot of the pressure away. Another exercise is grabbing onto something above you and hanging from it, sort of like the monkey bars. This will stretch out your back and tell a lot of the pressure away.

ALBANY, N.Y., April 3 (UPI) -- New York state's health commissioner said the 2013-17 Prevention Agenda will improve New Yorkers' health, quality of life and reduce health disparities.
Dr. Nirav R. Shah, the state's health commissioner; Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City health commissioner; and representatives from healthcare and community organizations appeared at the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center in Manhattan to officially announce a statewide, five-year plan to improve the health of all New Yorkers.
The plan serves as a blueprint for local community action to improve health and address health disparities. The agenda was the result of a collaboration of more than 140 organizations, including hospitals, local health departments, health providers, health plans, employers and schools.
"Chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes are today's leading health problems. In fact, 1-in-8 New Yorkers has type 2 diabetes," Farley said.
Key focus areas include reducing obesity in adults and children; reducing death, disability and illness related to tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure; and increasing access to high-quality chronic disease preventive care.
The new priorities build on the progress made in the 2008-12 Prevention Agenda, which included an almost 15 percent increase in early diagnosis of colorectal cancer, an 8.6 percent decrease in infant mortality, 15 percent adults quit smoking; 23 percent of adolescents quit smoking; an 8 percent decrease in child asthma-related hospitalizations and a decline in female breast cancer mortality of 18 percent.

Beginning at its highest point, the chamber's richly carved golden oak ceiling was designed with deep paneled "pockets" or recesses, creating an acoustically perfect "debate arena" for the senators.
The walls are covered with beautiful, shimmering 23 carat gold leaf.
A master at using the different materials of the world, Richardson imported Siena marble from Italy for the large arches above the visitor's gallery, red granite from Scotland for the pillars, and Mexican onyx to panel the north and south walls. The ultimate in luxury was attained with red leather and carved mahogany paneling on the walls below the galleries.
As a tribute to the five architects who worked on the Capitol throughout its construction - the Senate in 1980, commissioned artist Vincent Leggiadro to carve the portrait medallions of Thomas Fuller, Leopold Eidlitz, Frederick Law Olmsted, Henry Hobson Richardson and Isaac Perry into the stone lintels above the five entrances of the Chamber.
At the front of the chamber sits the Senate's chief presiding officer. Seated on the top tier of the dais, he is flanked by an aide and the Senate Chaplain. Every legislative session begins with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The bottom tier is for the various Senate staff who track legislation and keep attendance.
At the back of the chamber are two large fireplaces, each with openings six feet high. Designed initially as sources of heat, they soon became mere decoration when electricity became a standard feature of the completed building. However, building on a tradition that began with the English parliament, the fireplaces were soon serving as quiet meeting areas for senators to "walk into", and discuss important issues, And, because the chamber's acoustics allowed for virtually every spoken word to be heard, these "fireplace" chats soon became an everyday occurrence.

Tuesday October 1, 2013 our baby girl turned THREE years old!!! Bless her heart, having her birthday party three days before her actual birthday really confused her. For days she would go around saying I'm THREE and Micah Claire would say no your not your TWO. Then a crying little girl would come up to me and say Mommy Claire told me I was still two and I would have to explain over and over again that she was still two until Tuesday then she would officially be THREE. That was NOT the answer she wanted to hear, it just upset her even more! But FINALLY Tuesday came and FINALLY she was THREE YEARS OLD!!!! She was up and at em at 6:30 that morning, ready to go and celebrate THREE years old!!!!
She couldn't wait to take the candles out and lick themUmmmmm that's some good stuff!
Happy THIRD birthday Kinley Cowart! We love you so very much!

Created: 19 Mar 2009 extracted from S29-functions.pod
Last Modified: 17 Apr 2009
Version: 3
The document is a draft.
If you read the HTML version, it is generated from the Pod in the specs repository under https://github.com/perl6/specs/blob/master/S32-setting-library/Str.pod so edit it there in the git repository if you would like to make changes.
General notes about strings:
A Str can exist at several Unicode levels at once. Which level you interact with typically depends on what your current lexical context has declared the "working Unicode level to be". Default is
Grapheme. [Default can't be
CharLingua because we don't go into "language" mode unless there's a specific language declaration saying either exactly what language we're going into or, in the absence of that, how to find the exact language somewhere in the environment.]
Attempting to use a string at a level higher it can support is handled without warning. The current highest supported level of the string is simply mapped Char for Char to the new higher level. However, attempting to stuff something of a higher level a lower-level string is an error (for example, attempting to store Kanji in a Byte string). An explicit conversion function must be used to tell it how you want it encoded.
Attempting to use a string at a level lower than what it supports is not allowed.
If a function takes a
Str and returns a
Str, the returned
Str will support the same levels as the input, unless specified otherwise.
The following are all provided by the
Str role:
- p5chop
our Char multi method p5chop ( Str $string is rw: ) is export(:P5) my Char multi p5chop ( Str *@strings is rw ) is export(:P5)
Trims the last character from
$string, and returns it. Called with a list, it chops each item in turn, and returns the last character chopped.
- chop
our Str multi method chop ( Str $string: ) is export
Returns string with one Char removed from the end.
- p5chomp
our Int multi method p5chomp ( Str $string is rw: ) is export(:P5) my Int multi p5chomp ( Str *@strings is rw ) is export(:P5)
Related to
p5chop, only removes trailing chars that match
/\n/. In either case, it returns the number of chars removed.
- chomp
our Str multi method chomp ( Str $string: ) is export
Returns string with one newline removed from the end. An arbitrary terminator can be removed if the input filehandle has marked the string for where the "newline" begins. (Presumably this is stored as a property of the string.) Otherwise a standard newline is removed.
Note: Most users should just let their I/O handles autochomp instead. (Autochomping is the default.)
- lc
our Str multi method lc ( Str $string: ) is export
Returns the input string after converting each character to its lowercase form, if uppercase.
- lcfirst
our Str multi method lcfirst ( Str $string: ) is export
lc, but only affects the first character.
- uc
our Str multi method uc ( Str $string: ) is export
Returns the input string after converting each character to its uppercase form, if lowercase. This is not a Unicode "titlecase" operation, but a full "uppercase".
- ucfirst
our Str multi method ucfirst ( Str $string: ) is export
Performs a Unicode "titlecase" operation on the first character of the string.
- normalize
our Str multi method normalize ( Str $string: Bool :$canonical = Bool::True, Bool :$recompose = Bool::False ) is export
Performs a Unicode "normalization" operation on the string. This involves decomposing the string into its most basic combining elements, and potentially re-composing it. Full detail on the process of decomposing and re-composing strings in a normalized form is covered in the Unicode specification Sections 3.7, Decomposition and 3.11, Canonical Ordering Behavior of the Unicode Standard, 4.0. Additional named parameters are reserved for future Unicode expansion.
For everyday use there are aliases that map to the Unicode Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms document's names for the various modes of normalization:
our Str multi method nfd ( Str $string: ) is export { $string.normalize(:canonical, :!recompose); } our Str multi method nfc ( Str $string: ) is export { $string.normalize(:canonical, :recompose); } our Str multi method nfkd ( Str $string: ) is export { $string.normalize(:!canonical, :!recompose); } our Str multi method nfkc ( Str $string: ) is export { $string.normalize(:!canonical, :recompose); }
Decomposing a string can be used to compare Unicode strings in a binary form, providing that they use the same encoding. Without decomposing first, two Unicode strings may contain the same text, but not the same byte-for-byte data, even in the same encoding. The decomposition of a string is performed according to tables in the Unicode standard, and should be compatible with decompositions performed by any system.
:canonicalflag controls the use of "compatibility decompositions". For example, in canonical mode, "fi" is left unaffected because it is not a composition. However, in compatibility mode, it will be replaced with "fi". Decomposed sequences will be ordered in a canonical way in either mode.
:recomposeflag controls the re-composition of decomposed forms. That is, a combining sequence will be re-composed into the canonical composite where possible.
These de-compositions and re-compositions are performed recursively, until there is no further work to be done.
Note that this function is really only applicable when dealing with codepoint strings. Grapheme strings are normally processed at a higher abstraction level that is independent of normalization, and are lazily normalized into the desired normalization when transferred to lexical scopes or handles that care.
- samecase
our Str multi method samecase ( Str $string: Str $pattern ) is export
Has the effect of making the case of the string match the case pattern in
$pattern. (Used by s:ii/// internally, see S05.)
- samemark
our Str multi method samemark ( Str $string: Str $pattern ) is export
Has the effect of making the case of the string match the marking pattern in
$pattern. (Used by s:mm/// internally, see S05.)
- capitalize
our Str multi method capitalize ( Str $string: ) is export
Has the effect of first doing an
lcon the entire string, then performing a
s:g/(\w+)/{ucfirst $0}/on it.
- length
This word is banned in Perl 6. You must specify units.
- chars
our Int multi method chars ( Str $string: ) is export
Returns the number of characters in the string in the current (lexically scoped) idea of what a normal character is, usually graphemes.
- graphs
our Int multi method codes ( Str $string: ) is export
Returns the number of graphemes in the string in a language-independent way.
- codes
our Int multi method codes ( Str $string: $nf = $?NF) is export
Returns the number of codepoints in the string if it were canonicalized the specified way. Do not confuse codepoints with UTF-16 encoding. Characters above U+FFFF count as a single codepoint.
- bytes
our Int multi method bytes ( Str $string: $enc = $?ENC, :$nf = $?NF) is export
Returns the number of bytes in the string if it were encoded in the specified way. Note the inequality:
.bytes("UTF-16","C") >= .codes("C") * 2
This is caused by the possibility of surrogate pairs, which are counted as one codepoint. However, this problem does not arise for UTF-32:
.bytes("UTF-32","C") == .codes("C") * 4
- encode
our Buf multi method encode($encoding = $?ENC, $nf = $?NF)
Returns a
Bufwhich represents the original string in the given encoding and normal form. The actual return type is as specific as possible, so
$str.encode('UTF-8')returns an
- index
our StrPos multi method index( Str $string: Str $substring, StrPos $pos = StrPos(0) ) is export our StrPos multi method index( Str $string: Str $substring, Int $pos ) is export
indexsearches for the first occurrence of
$string, starting at
$pos. If $pos is an
Int, it is taken to be in the units of the calling scope, which defaults to "graphemes".
The value returned is always a
StrPosobject. If the substring is found, then the
StrPosrepresents the position of the first character of the substring. If the substring is not found, a bare
StrPoscontaining no position is returned. This prototype
StrPosevaluates to false because it's really a kind of undefined value. Do not evaluate as a number, because instead of returning -1 it will return 0 and issue a warning.
- pack
our buf8 multi pack( *@items where { all(@items) ~~ Pair } ) our buf8 multi pack( Str $template, *@items )
packtakes a list of pairs and formats the values according to the specification of the keys. Alternately, it takes a string
$templateand formats the rest of its arguments according to the specifications in the template string. The result is a sequence of bytes.
Templates are strings of the form:
grammar Str::PackTemplate { regex TOP { ^ <template> $ } regex template { [ <group> | <specifier> <count>? ]* } token group { \( <template> \) } token specifier { <[aAZbBhHcCsSiIlLnNvVqQjJfdFDpPuUwxX\@]> \!? } token count { \* | \[ [ \d+ | <specifier> ] \] | \d+ } }
In the pairwise mode, each key must contain a single
<specifier>, and the values must be either scalar arguments or arrays.
[ Note: Need more documentation and need to figure out what Perl 5 things no longer make sense. Does Perl 6 need any extra formatting features? -ajs ]
[I think pack formats should be human readable but compiled to an internal form for efficiency. I also think that compact classes should be able to express their serialization in pack form if asked for it with .packformat or some such. -law]
- quotemeta
our Str multi method quotemeta ( Str $string: ) is export
Returns the input string with all non-"word" characters back-slashed. That is, all characters not matching "/<[A..Za..z_0..9]>/" will be preceded by a backslash in the returned string, regardless of any locale settings.
[Note from Pm: Should that be "/\w/" instead? Or, if the intent is to duplicate p5 functionality, perhaps it should be "p5quotemeta"? Do we even want this method at all?]
- rindex
our StrPos multi method rindex( Str $string: Str $substring, StrPos $pos? ) is export our StrPos multi method rindex( Str $string: Str $substring, Int $pos ) is export
Returns the position of the last
$string. If
$posis specified, then the search starts at that location in
$string, and works backwards. See
indexfor more detail.
- split
our List multi split ( Str $delimiter, Str $input, Int $limit = Inf ) our List multi split ( Regex $delimiter, Str $input, Int $limit = Inf ) our List multi method split ( Str $input: Str $delimiter, Int $limit = Inf ) our List multi method split ( Str $input: Regex $delimiter, Int $limit = Inf, Bool :$all = False)
Splits a string up into pieces based on delimiters found in the string.
String delimiters must not be treated as rules but as constants. The default is no longer ' ' since that would be interpreted as a constant. P5's
split(' ')will translate to
comb. Null trailing fields are no longer trimmed by default.
splitfunction no longer has a default delimiter nor a default invocant. In general you should use
wordsto split on whitespace now, or
combto break into individual characters. See below.
If the
:alladverb is supplied to the
Regexform, then the delimiters are returned as
Matchobjects in alternation with the split values. Unlike with Perl 5, if the delimiter contains multiple captures they are returned as submatches of single
Matchobject. (And since
Capture, whether these
Matchobjects eventually flatten or not depends on whether the expression is bound into a list or slice context.)
You may also split lists and filehandles.
$*ARGS.split(/\n[\h*\n]+/)splits on paragraphs, for instance. Lists and filehandles are automatically fed through
catin order to pretend to be string. The resulting
Catis lazy. Accessing a filehandle as both a filehandle and as a
Catis undefined.
- comb
our List multi comb ( Regex $matcher, Str $input, Int $limit = Inf ) our List multi method comb ( Str $input: Regex $matcher = /./, Int $limit = Inf )
combfunction looks through a string for the interesting bits, ignoring the parts that don't match. In other words, it's a version of split where you specify what you want, not what you don't want.
That means the same restrictions apply to the matcher rule as do to split's delimiter rule.
By default it pulls out all individual characters. Saying
$string.comb(/pat/, $n)
is equivalent to
map {.Str}, $string.match(rx:global:x(0..$n):c/pat/)
You may also comb lists and filehandles.
+$*IN.combcounts the words on standard input, for instance.
comb(/./, $thing)returns a list of single
Charstrings from anything that can give you a
Str. Lists and filehandles are automatically fed through
catin order to pretend to be string. This
Catis also lazy.
If the
:matchadverb is applied, a list of
Matchobjects (one per match) is returned instead of strings. This can be used to access capturing subrules in the matcher. The unmatched portions are never returned -- if you want that, use
split :all. If the function is combing a lazy structure, the return values may also be lazy. (Strings are not lazy, however.)
- lines
our List multi method lines ( Str $input: Int $limit = Inf ) is export
Returns a list of lines, i.e. the same as a call to
$input.comb( / ^^ \N* /, $limit )would.
- words
our List multi method words ( Str $input: Int $limit = Inf ) is export
Returns a list of non-whitespace bits, i.e. the same as a call to
$input.comb( / \S+ /, $limit )would.
- flip
flipfunction reverses a string character by character.
our Str multi method flip ( $str: ) is export { $str.comb.reverse.join; }
This function will misplace accents if used at a Unicode level less than graphemes.
- sprintf
our Str multi method sprintf ( Str $format: *@args ) is export
This function is mostly identical to the C library sprintf function.
$formatis scanned for
%characters. Any
%introduces a format token. Format tokens have the following grammar:
grammar Str::SprintfFormat { regex format_token { '%': <index>? <precision>? <modifier>? <directive> } token index { \d+ '$' } token precision { <flags>? <vector>? <precision_count> } token flags { <[ \x20 + 0 \# \- ]>+ } token precision_count { [ <[1..9]>\d* | '*' ]? [ '.' [ \d* | '*' ] ]? } token vector { '*'? v } token modifier { < ll l h m V q L > } token directive { < % c s d u o x e f g X E G b p n i D U O F > } }
Directives guide the use (if any) of the arguments. When a directive (other than
%) is used, it indicates how the next argument passed is to be formatted into the string.
The directives are:
% a literal percent sign c a character with the given codepoint s a string d a signed integer, in decimal u an unsigned integer, in decimal o an unsigned integer, in octal x an unsigned integer, in hexadecimal e a floating-point number, in scientific notation f a floating-point number, in fixed decimal notation g a floating-point number, in %e or %f notation X like x, but using upper-case letters E like e, but using an upper-case "E" G like g, but with an upper-case "E" (if applicable) b an unsigned integer, in binary C special: invokes the arg as code, see below
i a synonym for %d D a synonym for %ld U a synonym for %lu O a synonym for %lo F a synonym for %f
Perl 5 (non-)compatibility:
n produces a runtime exception (see below) p produces a runtime exception
The special format directive,
%Cinvokes the target argument as code, passing it the result string that has been generated thus far and the argument array.
Here's an example of its use:
sprintf "%d%C is %d digits long", $num, sub ($s, @args is rw) { @args[2] = $s.elems }, 0;
The special directive,
%ndoes not work in Perl 6 because of the difference in parameter passing conventions, but the example above simulates its effect using
Modifiers change the meaning of format directives. The most important being support for complex numbers (a basic type in Perl). Here are all of the modifiers and what they modify:
h interpret integer as native "short" (typically int16) l interpret integer as native "long" (typically int32 or int64) ll interpret integer as native "long long" (typically int64) L interpret integer as native "long long" (typically uint64) q interpret integer as native "quads" (typically int64 or larger) m interpret value as a complex number
mmodifier works with
Gformat directives, and the directive applies to both the real and imaginary parts of the complex number.
sprintf "%ld a big number, %lld a bigger number, %mf complexity\n", 4294967295, 4294967296, 1+2i);
- fmt
our Str multi method fmt( Scalar $scalar: Str $format = '%s' ) our Str multi method fmt( List $list: Str $format = '%s', Str $separator = ' ' ) our Str multi method fmt( Hash $hash: Str $format = "%s\t%s", Str $separator = "\n" ) our Str multi method fmt( Pair $pair: Str $format = "%s\t%s" )
A set of wrappers around
sprintf. A call to the scalar version
$o.fmt($format)returns the result of
sprintf($format, $o). A call to the list version
@a.fmt($format, $sep)returns the result of
join $sep, map { sprintf($format, $_) }, @a. A call to the hash version
%h.fmt($format, $sep)returns the result of
join $sep, map { sprintf($format, $_.key, $_.value) }, %h.pairs. A call to the pair version
$p.fmt($format)returns the result of
sprintf($format, $p.key, $p.value).
- substr
our Str multi method substr (Str $string: StrPos $start, StrLen $length?) is rw is export our Str multi method substr (Str $string: StrPos $start, StrPos $end) is rw is export our Str multi method substr (Str $string: StrPos $start, Int $length) is rw is export our Str multi method substr (Str $string: Int $start, StrLen $length?) is rw is export our Str multi method substr (Str $string: Int $start, StrPos $end) is rw is export our Str multi method substr (Str $string: Int $start, Int $length) is rw is export
substrreturns part of an existing string. You control what part by passing a starting position and optionally either an end position or length. If you pass a number as either the position or length, then it will be used as the start or length with the assumption that you mean "chars" in the current Unicode abstraction level, which defaults to graphemes. A number in the 3rd argument is interpreted as a length rather than a position (just as in Perl 5).
Here is an example of its use:
$initials = substr($first_name,0,1) ~ substr($last_name,0,1);
Optionally, you can use substr on the left hand side of an assignment like so:
$string ~~ /(barney)/; substr($string, $0.from, $0.to) = "fred";
If the replacement string is longer or shorter than the matched sub-string, then the original string will be dynamically resized.
- trim
multi method trim() is export;
Returns a copy of the string, with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
- unpack
- match
method Match match(Str $self: Regex $search);
- subst
method Str subst(Str $self: Regex $search, Str $replacement);
- trans
method trans(Str $self: Str $key, Str $val); our multi trans(List of Pair %data);
- indent
our Str multi method indent ($str: $steps) is export;
Returns a re-indented string wherein
$stepsnumber of spaces have been added to each line (i.e. to the beginning of the string and after each logical newline).
$stepsis negative, removes that many spaces instead. Should any line contain too few leading spaces, only those are removed and a warning is issued.
*, removes exactly as many spaces as are needed to make at least one line have zero indentation.
When removing indentation, the method will assume hard tabs to be
($?TABSTOP // 8)spaces, and will treat other horizontal whitespace characters as synonymous to spaces. Characters not participating in the re-indenting will be left untouched, and those added in an indent call will be either (1) consistent with subsequent leading whitespace already on the line, if these are all the same, or (2) spaces. During an unindent, the trailing tab character in a chain of leading tab characters may explode into a number of space characters.

While porn star Tsubomi recently appeared in the Persona porno parody, that's not all the 24 year-old has appeared in. She's appeared in far more dirty films—a mind boggling number, actually.
Her official blog recently announced an important milestone: Tsubomi appeared in her ONE THOUSANDTH blue movie. Granted that does include complations and supporting roles, but one thousand!
To put that into perspective, that's half the number of adult films Ron Jeremy has been in—and he's been working since the beginning of time. Tsubomi debuted in 2006. Whenever does she find the time to record music—or, you know, just not have sex?

Man Sues Apple, Says Siri 'Does Not Perform as Advertised'
Did you buy an iPhone 4S on the promise that Siri, Apple's world-famous "intelligent assistant," would let you command your phone with your voice? And were you disappointed by how it actually performed in reality?
That appears to be the story of Frank M. Fazio, a New Yorker who is suing Apple for false advertising. In a complaint filed with the U.S. District Court in San Jose, Fazio alleges that Siri in real life is nothing like the Siri depicted in Apple's TV spots. Those ads show Siri making appointments, finding restaurants and providing instructions on how to tie a tie.
Fazio, who is represented by the law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, says those ads are "fundamentally and designedly false and misleading" since Siri "does not perform as advertised." He goes even further, implying that, without Siri, the iPhone 4S is merely a more expensive iPhone 4.
Soon after the iPhone 4S went on sale last fall, Fazio says he bought one (the 32 GB model) because he was impressed by the Siri ads. Shortly after that, however, he found it didn't work as he expected. When Fazio asked Siri for directions, he says it either didn't understand him or, after a long wait, responded with the wrong answer.
Fazio filed his suit as a class action — if others decide to sue Apple over Siri, they'll all likely become part of the same suit. An Apple spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Siri aside, Fazio's claim that the iPhone 4S is just a more expensive iPhone 4 without the feature is fundamentally wrong. The iPhone 4S has a dual-core processor, more storage and a redesigned antenna. Also, in the AT&T version, the data connection is faster. None of those features are available on the iPhone 4.
On Siri, though, does he have a point? What's your experience with Siri, and does it work as advertised? Or is Apple exaggerating? Share your thoughts in the comments.

The 2013 Southwest Terror Fest is approaching and the new (full) poster is available and with one quick glance you can tell it will be an event to be reckoned with. In fact, it is double the mayhem of last year's inaugural event, featuring 65 bands over the course of four days at the Rock, Thursday, Oct. 10 through Sunday, Oct. 13. A limited amount (only 50) of the 4-day VIP passes are available at a reasonable price of $55, and single day passes are available at the door.
David Rodgers might be one of the harder working people in Arizona when it comes to the metal music scene, and he has been able to build this event into what it is now, which is a marathon of metal madness. It would fantastic to see this continue to grow and become a mainstay of Arizona music.
Any local music fan should consider attending at least one night, if not two, or better yet, all four nights.
Check for updates here. Also, the poster:
So call in sick or take a vacation day on Monday, Oct. 14th, because the 2013 Southwest Terror Fest is coming and it's all out of bubblegum.
Although there were many fantastic acts last year, and the local bands were some of the highlights. Most of the local bands played on the second stage, letting the out-of-towners play on the main stage. The second stage is is on the floor, and the experience can be both intimate and chaotic. Having the band so close is a nice touch, but at the same time on some heavier songs the crowd can get a bit rowdy and even mosh into the band members.
Powered Wig Machine was the first band that really moved the crowd on the second stage. They played as if they were on the main stage and commanded the room with hard and unique anthems and genuinely put the room in order. This is a band that should be looked at in the coming future. They represent a cross-section between groovy funk-metal and a sludgy desert rock. They didn't necessarily play for the crowd but still managed to own it.
In all fairness, I'm a huge fan of Anakim and that was my personal highlight of the Friday show. In this respect I'd like to say that they need to play a bit more around town and tour past the state line with another act. Instead of being a prog-metal band, they're more of a metal band with some progressive hints. The sound is very straight forward and hits you in the gut and the head at the same time. Anakim has a phenominal tension-building intro in "Calling the Wind" that keeps the momentum building until a heavy burst of energy hits with the main part of the song, at which point it sends the crowd into a rampage.
The second night's highlight was, for me personally, again, the second stage. I'd always prefer to see local acts, and Godhunter was the headline of choice. With an LP release on the horizon, they are fully capable of playing for a full set and have played enough to always entertain the crowd. One can tell immediately that this band has enough experience that they know how to jump around the stage, keep the audience engaged beyond really acceptable limits, but yet still play amidst the chaos. At least twice someone fell over a mic or an amp and was pulled back into the crowd. They know how to let their roadies (and friends) pick up the fallen equipment and play on. David Rodgers, the guitarist and occasional singer, is the one that really put the work into making the Southwest Terrorfest happen. He is extremely dedicated to the craft and the scene, and his passion echoes through the band. Never missing a beat, they played with all-out and dominated the second stage of the second night.
I'm looking forward to many years of this showcase of music. I'd hope that it can expand to include outside stages or, perhaps even, downtown venues and alleyways. Tucson has always been a known underground scene for great music on all levels and types of music. This has the making to become a desitination point for metla fans everywhere.
When I learned the Austin, TX band Shurman would play a half block from my house in a bar that never has music, it seemed providential. Like cosmic UPS delivery. I almost expected a comet over the Red Garter, or roses raising its foundation.
Humble but mighty, the restaurant and bar has a main room clad in fake-blond-wood-paneling, covered with a neon, mirrored or animated sign for every commercial beer known to ESPN. It's right-sized and comfy, but who knew it could sound good? On Wednesday (a Wednesday!) Shurman sat at the south end on bar stools and played and told road stories for all the world like they belonged there.
Turns out a guy knows a guy. A local musician and friend of the band, who is also friendly with one of the Garter's owners, scored the gig for Shurman as a pit-stop on the road to Puerto Peñasco with Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers' annual Circus Mexicus tour. Luck had it that the stop was timely: The cost and inconvenience of a detour via Pep Boys for a new wheel bearing was a running joke through the set. Merch was moved.
More words and music, and an essential list, after the break.
Spicy, sweet, hot, funny, giddy — the rich and happy mood of chattering diners clustered with friends could be felt almost upon opening the door to Café Desta, packed as it was with fans of avant indie chamber music on the verge of a historic event. Chris Black's original Tucson vision, Chamberlab, was turning one year old, and celebrants anticipated an evening of the gang's greatest hits, delicious as the spirit and the company of its culinary overture.
Program, players and lots of pictures after the jump.
It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Devo. In anticipation of their show at the Rialto on Friday night, I though't I'd share my 10 favorite Devo tracks.
10. Space Junk/Q:Are We Not Men? A:We Are Devo!
A fragmented and paranoid tale of falling space debris and a particularly unlucky girl named Sally. Skylab fell out of the sky and landed over parts of Western Australia in 1979, a year after this album was released.
9. That's Good/Oh, No! It's Devo
Devo on full-on synthpop mode. An upbeat song about the joys of bland conformity. So upbeat in fact that the "Bad Boys" from San Francisco used it for their dance routine in the 1987 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship. I don't think they were in on the joke.
8. Gut Feeling (Slap Your Mammy)/Q:Are We Not Men? A:We Are Devo!
Probably the best intro of any Devo song. Imagine if the Autobahn was placed smack-dab in the middle of Ohio. People tend to forget that Devo is a damn good guitar band.
7. Come Back Jonee/Q:Are We Not Men? A:We Are Devo!
Again, Devo being a great "rock" band is often forgotten. Devo takes the cars 'n' girls songs of rock and roll's past to its next logical step. What happens when you're having too much fun and you're driving a little too fast? Come back, indeed.
6. Red Eye Express/Duty Now for the Future
If I had to pick a favorite Devo album, it would have to be Duty Now for the Future. Their second album, this is when they struck the perfect balance between the guitar and synthesizer. Red Eye Express is the album's closer and includes some of my favorite off-the-the-wall lyrics. "Something's flattened my cola/something's wrong with my brew/something's rotten in Idaho/and I don't know what to do."
5. Booji Boy's Funeral/Hardcore Devo Volume 2
R.I.P. young man. Taken from the incomparable Hardcore Devo Volume 2, the second installation of Devo's raw and humble beginnings.
4. Mongoloid/Q:Are We Not Men? A:We Are Devo!
The tale of a man who had one chromosome too many. He wore a hat, he had a job and he brought home the bacon, so no one knew. Years before David Lynch's Blue Velvet, Devo peels away the layers of suburban blandess and finds mutants running amok. The music is ominous, spooky and robotic, and like "Gut Feeling" it also has a stellar intro.
3. I Desire/Oh, No! It's Devo
In a career full of subversiveness and pulling media-savvy pranks, this might be the crown jewel in the Energy Dome. Lyrics are credited to "Casale/Hinckley/Mothersbaugh". Who's Hinckley? None other than John Hinkcley, Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan to impress Jodie Foster, living out some sort of sick Taxi Driver fantasy. Some of the lyrics are taken from the love poems Hinckley Jr. wrote to Ms. Foster. How they snuck this past Warner Bros. is beyond me. Does this mean Hinckley Jr. receives royalties?
2. Jocko Homo/Single
The Devo Manifesto. Planet of the Apes meets crazed religious sermons meets Revenge of the Nerds.
1. Beautiful World/New Traditionalists
The moment Devo realized devolution has caught up with modern society and there's no going back. It's a somber, almost melancholy track that's full of spite. "Beautiful people everywhere/they way they show they care/it's a beautiful world/for you/it's not for me."
I really don't know what else I need to put here: People love them some Daft Punk. I'm not sure if it's the music, or the fact that the two dudes wear the kinds of outfits that make San Diego Comic Con cosplayers look like low-budget Halloween costumes, but Daft Punk causes some severe reactions in music fans.
Anyway, if you want to listen to some sweet, sweet Daft Punk-ing, check out iTunes.
In news that's sure to be great for another industry that's circling the drain, the Recording Industry Association of America has decided to join in with the times and include song streams as part of their certification process for gold and platinum records.
From Billboard:
The last time the RIAA altered its methodology was in 2006, when it added master ringtones. Two years before that, the organization began counting digital downloads. And prior to that, CDs and cassette tapes were added to the mix. Otherwise, the formula for Gold and Platinum certifications remained largely untouched — 500,000 unit sales for Gold, 1 million for Platinum and 10 million for Diamond.
Among the on-demand streaming services the RIAA will accept are MOG, Muve Music, Rdio, Rhapsody, Slacker, Spotify, Xbox Music and others. In addition, video streams from MTV.com, VEVO, Yahoo! Music and YouTube will also count. Under the new formula, the RIAA will distribute awards to 56 new titles, including 30 Seconds To Mars's "This Is War," Emeli Sandé's "Next To Me," and Cher Lloyd's "Oath," Thursday night at the National Association of Recording Merchandisers' annual Musiz Biz conference in Los Angeles.
We're thinking Ira Kaplan must have to replace three or four guitars after every tour. He gives new meaning to the term "shredding" with a claw-hammer strum attack and a swing that threatens amps into yet better, bigger and more feedback as he heaps layers of chaos onto the unshakeable constancy of Georgia Hubley's beats and James McNew's chords.
What a show Monday night at the Rialto! Although most songs were from the new CD Fade, the band interrupted their set to accommodate a fan calling for "You Can Have It All" from 2000's And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out and, in the encore, "Tom Courteney" from 1995's Electro-Pura. "Autumn Sweater" from 1997's I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One also made the playlist. See the setlist below.
"I Appear Missing" is the first release off of Queens of the Stone Age's forthcoming release Like Clockwork, set to be released June 6 — and I'm pumped, if only because Dave Grohl returned to lay down the drums for this album, which is cool in its own right. Bigger to me, though, is that I'm of the opinion that everything Grohl and QOTSA frontman Josh Homme collaborate on (QOTSA album Songs for the Deaf, Them Crooked Vultures, "Centipede" off of the Sound City soundtrack) turns into gold.
Interestingly enough, this is a truncated version of the full song, as the video features about half of the six-minute-long album cut.

Viral Video: Windows 7 Slate vs. Apple iPad
I really don't have to say more, because you geeks lap up just this kind of video.
That's because it shows a Hanvon slate, using the Microsoft (MSFT) Windows 7 operating system, being put through its paces–email, video, browsing, mapping–against an Apple (AAPL) iPad.
Let the innovation games being, but I personally think they are both winners!

Hello everybody!
I am JoseAnt. Mármol from the fieldwork at Monte Miravete site at Torreagüera (Murcia, Spain). Here we are looking for identify the remains of the mining activity of the local farmer communities, their 'hidden face'. The site contains 100 structures (mainly gypsum kilns) and 35 quarries, making the site one of the most big archaeological site in all the entire Murcia region with the best known remains of this activity in Spain. We are working with a chronology dated back to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
This campaign we have been surveying around 23 structures and 10 quarries, and the next week we will start the excavation of one of them, the structure MMIR-E1089, which seems to be a former quarry with a kiln associated with it, later transformed into a space for storage or living. One of the aims for this excavation is to know more about the chronology and temporal phases of the site, especially before the 19th century. Will we find something medieval? That's our dream for now!
The research of this site lets us know more about the farmers communities of Murcia, who represent the origins of the very identity of this region. But, the understanding of the suffering of these farmers climbing up to make lime for its houses and facilities, helps us relate to the current children lime miners in India, for example. This is a reflection also for contemporary world about the unsustainable exploitation of the landscape and the human capacity to transform and survive.
We are not only seeking for archaeological data. Since our team is an interdisciplinary young team and we don't have so much economical support, we can be so creative as we want. So, we have done archaeological ethnography, poetry, artistic works with and at the site, and a long list of interesting papers and crazy interpretation of the site.
Maybe this is the unique project in Spain with an strong interest in developing an Art-Archaeology approach.
Our team is composed by: JoseAnt. (creative archaeologist), Manu (prehistorian interested in cinema), Javi (archaeo-botanist), Martín (interested in contemporary history), and some volunteers who will come the next week.
Here you can see a short video of the 2016 campaign:
Happy summer and enjoy the 2017 DAY OF ARCHAEOLOGY!!!
Best regards,
JoseAnt. Mármol

HANOVER, N.H. (AP) � Dartmouth College is being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education over its response to sexual harassment allegations on campus.
Steven Spector, the department's assistant press secretary, said the department's Office of Civil Rights initiated a compliance review of Dartmouth for sexual harassment grievance procedures and potential violations of Title IX. That law forbids gender discrimination among schools that receive federal aid.
Spector told the Valley News (http://bit.ly/13zRABM) the government has recently looked into a series of similar cases at other colleges.
Dartmouth spokesman Justin Anderson said the college is cooperating with the investigation. He said Dartmouth has focused on prevention and education and worked to strengthen its policies.

Swedish Semlor
11 comments:
I'm in Sweden right now (believe it or not!) on exchange and I have to say I have become accustomed pretty quickly to the Swedish tradition of fika. It's basically a right here that the Swedes must have fika at least once a day.ReplyDelete
These look absolutely delicious! I'll have to try and find some when I have fika next!
Wow i wouldn't usually eat custard, but those are so beautiful. AND i LOVE LVOE LOVE that font. What is it?ReplyDelete
not just pretty, they are stunning! :)ReplyDelete
ok, that's sound so delicious.ReplyDelete
I want to bake it ,right now.
@ EHisCDN: omg, i'm so jealous! would love to see Sweden someday. i think fika is the most awesome idea ever :)ReplyDelete
These look adorably delicious! I'm such a sucker for anything dusted in icing sugar.ReplyDelete
Semlor are really a seasonal for lent. But usually available from January untill Easter. So they won't be available at the moment.ReplyDelete
i'm kinda obsessed with the swedes right now, after seeing the IKEA web series last night.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 23, 2011 at 3:46 PM
Ah, these make me long for February. Here in Sweden we usually only eat Semla around a certain time of the year (it's a tradition) and it feels way too far off at the moment. Although the stores and bakeries have started "cheating" having them for longer periods than they should...ReplyDelete
We usually use almond paste though, not marzipan, but combined with almond extract its probably a pretty good substitute.
@ waruji: i love almond paste so much more than marzipan! i was wondering why all the recipes i had found used marzipan, but now that i know that it's more traditional to use almond paste, i'm gonna try them again!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 25, 2011 at 11:55 AM
There are many different variations on the filling in recent year but almond paste is the tradition. Personally I wouldn't call it a semla without the almond paste.ReplyDelete
The way my mom makes the filling is to carve out a hole in the bun like you did and mix the pieces she scooped out with whipped cream(not whisked, and milk is a perfectly acceptable substitute) and almond paste. Usually we let the semla stand in the fridge a few hours with the filling before adding the whipped cream at the top. It tends to make it... I don't know a good word for it but less dry, juicier?
Well, that's the way my family does it. Some bakeries over here just add a pure almond paste without mixing it with anything.
I don't know why so many recipes would say marzipan but from what I've seen of tastespotting.com I get the feeling almond paste isn't as common over in America?

Here are some more rumors regarding the Asus Padfone 2. According to the latest intel, the new Asus product will likely be officially announced on October 16th. Additional, this same source of info indicated that the phone will come stock with Android 4.1/Jelly Bean, straight from the factory. The promo pic seems very legit, so it likely means that at least the October 16th reveal date is legit. Let's cross our fingers about the other info.
