At London Fashion Week There Were Strawberry Fields Forever
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]
A very sunny winter was responsible for making 2015 a boom year for British strawberries. This week, three London-based designers ensured that run will extend into 2016: Erdem’s show opened with a fruit-trimmed dress, and Topshop Unique’s closed with one. In a season where we’ve seen summer furs and stockinged legs, there’s no confusing these looks as anything but summery.

A rambling print appeared on billowy dresses at Giles, whose show was inspired by Queen Elizabeth, during whose father’s reign strawberries and cream first became a court favorite. The Topshop Unique girl, never one to say no to a fete, might prefer her strawberries in champagne, but for spring, they’ll also dangle from her ears and add interest to her dance-all-night frocks. Erdem’s strewed strawberries on a dress wrapped in lace and ribbons destined for a garden party—how sweet.

You can only hear YACHT's new single when Uber is surging in Los Angeles

Brainy electro-pop duo YACHT have a new single, "L.A. Plays Itself" — but it's only being made available when the Los Angeles Uber market starts heating up. The band has synced up the single's availability with the presence of Uber's surge pricing in the LA area: when drivers are charging a little bit extra, the song's video will unlock, and a rate that's double the usual price will unlock a remix by producer Darq E. Freaker. And because it's infeasible for most fans to spend their whole day refreshing a site and checking Uber's area-specific surge pricing, the band has built a Twitter bot with advertising agency BBDO that'll tweet the video's availability for the next 48 hours.

Brainy electro-pop duo YACHT have a new single, "L.A. Plays Itself" — but it's only being made available when the Los Angeles Uber market starts heating up. The band has synced up the single's availability with the presence of Uber's surge pricing in the LA area: when drivers are charging a little bit extra, the song's video will unlock, and a rate that's double the usual price will unlock a remix by producer Darq E.

And because it's infeasible for most fans to spend their whole day refreshing a site and checking Uber's area-specific surge pricing, the band has built a Twitter bot with advertising agency BBDO that'll tweet the video's availability for the next 48 hours. (It's running through their Twitter account.) "It's all about the city," said the band on the song's dedicated website, "and we want to play it for you when you need it most."

This isn't the band's first recent experiment with unorthodox promotion. When they announced new album I Thought the Future Would Be Cooler (their first in four years) in July, they did so using drone footage of a Los Angeles billboard. A month later, they invited listeners to print its cover using a single-use web app and a fax machine. It was limited to 300 prints, so fans had to act fast if they wanted an early physical version of the cover (and a manifesto "detailing the history of fax art"). The fax promotion reached back into the past, and "L.A. Plays Itself" is very much dependent on the present — the band is probably cooking up one more release that'll compel fans to dive into the future for new music.

I Thought the Future Would Be Cooler is out October 16th on Downtown Records.

Twitter-owned Periscope, used now by more than 10 million people, is using the Francis' visit to garner some attention. It's asking users to use special hashtags like #PopeInPhilly to generate custom emoji the company created for Francis' historic visit. It looks as if it's paying off: look here at the White House utilizing Periscope's new landscape mode.

The event is fitting social media synergy for Obama and the Pope, both of whom have relied heavily on technology like Twitter, Instagram, and other web channels to speak directly to followers and fans. Of course, Obama's affinity for social media is well known; it helped him get elected in 2008. But the Pope is no Luddite either. He's been crushing it on the @Pontifex Twitter account with Pope-esque musings posted every few days to his more than 7.2 million followers. He's also shown an affinity for Google Hangouts sessions, called the internet "a gift from God," and auctioned off his iPad for charity last April.

Microservices: Simple servers, complex security
» ‎ CIO

Tags: [edit]

The benefits of microservices architecture -- smaller development teams, faster release cycles, fewer dependencies, less risk -- are becoming widely known, thanks to companies like Amazon, Google, and Netflix sharing their experiences. Less widely understood are the security challenges introduced by this new paradigm, but the engineers in the vanguard have wisdom to offer on this front as well.
You need to keep in mind more than a few details before you rip the wrapping off the shiny new app containers. Instead of securing one monolithic app or a couple, you're now responsible for perhaps dozens of smaller services, all capable of interacting with each other in a number of ways. What's more, you're trying to secure those services from outside attack and internal misuse, deliberate or not.

The man who Iman calls “the true quintessential American designer” loves preparing dinner with Gigi Hadid in the kitchen at his Long Island, New York, beach house, but he also knows his way around the kitchen at the nonprofit God’s Love We Deliver’s new headquarters in downtown Manhattan. In the lead up to New York Fashion Week, Michael Kors took the day off from designing his Spring 2016 collection to volunteer for the charity that makes and delivers fresh meals to people living with HIV/AIDS who are unable to prepare them on their own. Kors has supported the nonprofit for more than 30 years, and his involvement has been so impactful that it recently named its sparkling new space after him. Located on one of the busiest corners in Soho, The Michael Kors Building contains nearly 10,000 square feet of commercial kitchen and bakery space and enables the production of 5,400 meals per day. Kors spent the day cutting, chopping, and cooking up more than 5,000 pounds of vegetables with the help of friends Hilary Rhoda and Blaine Trump and husband Lance Le Pere. Above, the designer’s photo diary from the day.

Kors is one of 8,000 people who volunteer for God’s Love We Deliver every year. If you would like to join him, please find more information here: glwd.org

Hillary Clinton's opposition to Keystone XL is a political winner
» ‎ Vox - All

Tags: [edit]

The best way to tell that Hillary Clinton's opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline is a political winner is to look at the reaction of her rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination.

They can't blame her for agreeing with them, so they're pointing out that they were there first.

Here's Bernie Sanders:

As a senator who has vigorously opposed the Keystone pipeline from the beginning, I am glad that Secretary Clinton finally has made a decision and I welcome her opposition to the pipeline. Clearly it would be absurd to encourage the extraction and transportation of some of the dirtiest fossil fuel on the planet.

And here's former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, who noted Clinton has been later to the game on some other matters, too:

Leadership is about stating where you stand on critical issues, regardless of how they poll or focus group. On many of these issues, I staked out positions and got things done—even when they were politically unpopular. That’s what’s at stake in this election: the difference between conviction and convenience, and the gulf between actions and words.

In other words, there's no room on the left to criticize her for the decision. Clinton, who was Secretary of State when the Keystone decision was first making its way through the Obama administration, telegraphed last week that she planned to make an announcement "soon." She said she was "putting the White House on notice" that she couldn't wait any longer, portraying her reticence as deference to the administration.
Related 9 questions about the Keystone XL pipeline debate you were too embarrassed to ask
And let's face it, the idea that Republican voters would cast ballots for Clinton because she was for the pipeline — or that Democrats or independents would vote against her because she opposes it — is pretty laughable.

Several of Clinton's top donors, including Tom Steyer and Susie Tompkins Buell, are active in the environmental movement, and they have wanted her to come out against Keystone for some time. It's an issue that matters a lot to that segment of the Democratic Party, and coming out against the pipeline takes a wedge issue away from Clinton's current opponents — and perhaps Vice President Joe Biden, if he runs.

While most Republicans approve of the deal, it doesn't rank with the economy and national security as the top issues that will turn votes in a general election. The bottom line: It matters to Clinton only in the Democratic primary, and she can only benefit from siding with the environmental movement.

New Interaction Between Photons Created
» ‎ Overclockers Club news Feed

Tags: [edit]

Photons are critical to many advanced technologies, such as telecommunications where the massless quanta carry information at the fastest possible speed. Thanks to researchers at NIST though, photons may get a new and powerful use thanks to a curious interaction between pairs of them.

Back in 2013, researchers at Harvard, Caltech, and MIT were able to bind two photons together so they would travel superimposed on each other. By tweaking the parameters some, the NIST researchers have theoretically shown that a pair of photons could be made to travel alongside each other, at a specific distance. This is similar to the structure of two hydrogen atoms next to each other in a hydrogen molecule, though this is not actually a photon molecule. Still, two photons bound together and interacting with each other can have some interesting applications, including more precisely calibrating light sensors, and, if they are also entangled, they could be used for processing information. This could dramatically impact telecommunications by removing the need to convert the light in fiber optical cables to electronic signals for processing.

Additionally, we could see this lead to more complex structures of photons being built. While lightsabers are still firmly in the realm of fiction, this kind of research can bring them a bit closer to reality.

If Jeb Bush eventually overcomes Donald Trump, secures the GOP's presidential nomination, and gets elected, the FCC's still-young net neutrality rules could be eradicated. Today, Bush issued a promise for regulatory reform, pointing to a "regulatory crisis in Washington" under the Obama administration that includes Dodd-Frank, environment-focused regulations, and the net neutrality framework passed early last year — with the strong support of Obama. Bush has vowed to dismantle the net neutrality rules, which give the commission strict oversight of ISPs and prohibit paid fast lanes, speed throttling, and targeted app blocking.

Bush has vowed to dismantle the net neutrality rules, which give the commission strict oversight of ISPs and prohibit paid fast lanes, speed throttling, and targeted app blocking.

Jeb Bush sees things a bit differently. "These rules prohibit one group of companies (ISPs) from charging another group of companies (content companies) the full cost for using their services," reads the page on his campaign website. Here's the full text:

The Federal Communications Commission’s Net Neutrality rule classifies all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as "public utilities," subjecting them to antiquated "common carrier" regulation. Rather than enhancing consumer welfare, these rules prohibit one group of companies (ISPs) from charging another group of companies (content companies) the full cost for using their services. Small broadband operators—like KWISP (475 customers in rural Illinois) and Wisper ISP (8,000 customers near St. Louis, Mo)—have declared under penalty of perjury that the Net Neutrality rule has caused them to cut back on investments to upgrade and expand their networks.

Bush's stance won't be welcomed by net neutrality supporters and those who advocate for an open internet. And he's made it clear this would happen early in his administration, promising to "start" a Jeb Bush presidency by undoing Obama's regulatory accomplishments. Actually pulling that off would require passing legislation to topple the net neutrality framework — or appointing new FCC commissioners who would vote to roll back the rules. Whichever path he chooses, Bush seems determined to make his mark on the internet in short order if he reaches the Oval Office.

Evernote is getting a major revamp, launches new notetaking beta app for Mac and Windows
» ‎ VentureBeat

Enclosure: [download]

Tags: [edit]

Evernote has plans to rebuild itself from the ground up, and some users will begin to see changes to the infrastructure starting this week. The productivity app company revealed that it has spent the past two years working on these updates, and now desktop beta users will get a chance to check them out.

One of the main areas targeted in the upgrade is the text editing feature, which Evernote says was “designed around a framework that was optimized for the platform you were typing on,” namely your Windows or Apple device. So it has set out to “tear out … the old pipes and rebuild them entirely.”

Some of the improvements you’ll see include sharper bulleted lists, pasted content, and improved image and table management. Now you’ll also be able to utilize basic markdown in your notes.

It seems that instead of building siloed apps, Evernote is going to focus its efforts on developing apps that will work across as many platforms as possible, which could certainly help accelerate productivity. “We’ll improve the note editing experience and won’t rest until we are the best way to type words into a computer or phone. That’s our mission,” the company said in a blog post.

Starting today, you can sign up for Evernote’s Windows and Mac beta program to let the company know what the experience is like and how it can be improved.

Instagram hits 400 million users (FB)

Tags: [edit]

Facebook-owned Instagram just hit 400 million monthly-active-users, the company announced in a blog post Tuesday afternoon.

That's up from the 300 million users it announced in December 2014.

Instgram also says that more than half of its most recent 100 million users live in Europe and Asia, and that more than 75% of total users live outside the US.

"When Instagram launched nearly five years ago, 400 million seemed like a distant dream," the company writes. "Now, we continue to strive to improve Instagram — helping you experience the world through images and connect with others through shared passions."

For what it's worth, it took Facebook six years to reach the 400 million user milestone on its flagship social network. Of course, social networkig services are much more commonplace today than when Facebook was ramping up and the proliferation of smartphones means that mobile services such as Instagram can spread especially quickly.

Facebook has steadily become a mobile app powerhouse. Its Messenger platform now has 700 million monthly active users. WhatsApp has 900 million.

Here's how those numbers have grown since Facebook's last earnings call in March:

As Instagram continues to grow and prove out its advertising opportunities, Facebook's $1 billion acquisition looks better and better.

Compare that to Twitter, which claimed 316 million monthly active users during its Q2 earnings.

Karl-Olov Arnstberg: ”Nationernas kamp”
» ‎ Exponerat

Tags: [edit]

Från morklaggning.wordpress.com

Det är bara att konstatera faktum. Det är europeisk och västerländsk politik som utlöst den migrationskatastrof som nu sätter kniven mot Europas strupe. Sverige ligger främst bland de länder som har tänt ett hopp bland alla dessa jordens människor som vill ha ett bättre liv, vare det sig nu beror på att det är krig i hemlandet, risk för svält i flyktinglägret eller bara ett hopplöst dåligt framtidserbjudande på hemmaplan. Svensk migrationspolitik är därmed en av förklaringarna till att en del av de migranter som söker sig över Medelhavet drunknar. Dessa accelererande strömmar av migranter skulle inte söka sig till Europa om de inte trodde att de skulle lyckas. Av samma skäl söker de sig inte till exempelvis Japan, Kina eller Saudiarabien.

Saudiarabien, som i juni blev ordförandeland i FN:s människorättsråd, har inte tagit emot några migranter alls. De tycker nämligen att det är helt rätt att muslimer strömmar in i Europa. Det visas också av att de har en unik kapacitet, som de aldrig skulle drömma om att ställa till migranternas förfogande. För att klara bostäderna till den årliga anstormningen av pilgrimer, har de nämligen byggt en tältstad utanför Mina. Hundratusen luftkonditionerade tält används fem dagar om året. Dessa har kapacitet att härbärgera flera miljoner människor. Däremot har de erbjudit Tyskland att bygga 200 moskéer åt de 500.000 migranter som Angela Merkel meddelat att landet tänker ta emot.
Saudiarabien ger sitt bidrag till projektet ”Islamisera Europa!”.

Det som svenska makthavare skryter med i dag – rollen av en humanitär stormakt – kan i historiens ljus att visa sig bli landets skam. Sverige som en ivrig bundsförvant till Tyskland, landet som ännu en gång sänker Europa, och denna gång för gott. För gott därför att Europa är skapat av européer och byter Europa befolkning, så försvinner inte bara den europeiska civilisationen utan också den välfärd, som inte minst är attraktiv för migranterna.

Även om medierna helst visar bilder på unga moderna familjer och gulliga eller döda små barn, så får vi inte glömma att majoriteten i migrationsströmmen är unga män. Och att dessa unga män är muslimer. Strömmen av migranter är av den storleken och är så illa hanterad att den har kraft att förpassa Europas högkultur till historiens skräphög. Sverige drar sitt strå till stacken och nu när allt fler blir på det klara med att det här går käpprätt åt helvete, då spurtar den svenska makteliten! Hur kort i tanken kan en svensk makthavare/opinionsbildare vara på en skala ett till tio? (svar: fjorton).

Det som nu utvecklas är en kamp mellan EU och nationerna och det är en öppen fråga om EU har tillräcklig styrka för att kunna stå emot. Det är visserligen EU och Europas elitpolitiker som har makten över de 28 medlemsstaterna, men även om länder som Sverige visar upp stötande och allt starkare totalitära tendenser, så lever vi fortfarande i demokratier, i den meningen att folken väljer sina företrädare. Ländernas befolkningar har sista ordet. De kan med andra ord rösta fram politiker som sätter den egna nationens intressen före Europas. I praktiken innebär det att länderna, för att skydda sig mot massinvandring, stänger gränserna mot sina grannar.

Den verklighet som politiker och journalister i en oskön förening beskriver, liknar allt sämre den verklighet som Europas befolkningar lever i. Hur mycket än politikerna försäkrar oss om mångkulturens plusvärden, om att invandringen är lönsam, om att alla migranter som får asyl är flyktingar och att det är nödvändigt att fylla på med ungt folk därför att europeiska kvinnor föder för få barn, så stämmer det allt sämre med den levda verkligheten. Resultatet kan bara bli ett, att makthavare och opinionsbildare mister medborgarnas förtroende. Ett tecken på att det förhåller sig så är att svenska medborgare just nu är utsatta för en propagandadrive av nordkoreanska dimensioner. Hjärtan, plånböcker och landets gränser ska öppnas för migranterna. Trots detta, så växer Sverigedemokraterna. Detta är mycket farligt.

Det är inte farligt att Sverigedemokraterna växer, utan att folket tappar förtroendet för sina makthavare. De som i dag ljuger och förskönar verkligheten kommer att ha ytterst svårt att återskapa tilliten. Hur ska man veta när media börjar tala sanning? De har ju ljugit, vilselett och censurerat i decennier. Den brutala sanning som borde få landets chefredaktörer att besinna sig lyder så här: när förtroendet är förbrukat så kan ni packa ihop. Det gäller för DN, för Aftonbladet, för Sydsvenskan, för P1, för SVT etc. Och vad värre är, det är nog kört också för sjuklöverns politiker. Hur ska man kunna lita på dem i framtiden? Det här är saxat ur ett mail som kom från en lundaakademiker för tjugo minuter sedan:

Det är tungt idag. All denna desinformation, dessa felaktiga påståenden och även direkta lögner från journalister, politiker och forskare är beklämmande. Det är svårt att förstå denna agendajournalistik som vägrar ta in fakta, vilket även gäller en del forskare, för att inte nämna politikerna. Jag trodde för min egen del att jag aldrig skulle känna sådant förakt och misstro mot media eller den politiska eliten. Ibland tänker jag att jag blir galen. Hur är detta möjligt och varför är det inte fler som ser? Är det mig det är fel på? I förlängningen skapar förljugenheten en djup splittring i samhället. Att inte kunna ta upp och diskutera samhällsproblem utan att riskera bli uthängd som rasist, fascist och nazist skapar en känsla av overklighet. Händer detta verkligen, hur har detta blivit möjligt?

Om den bristande tilliten till makten är det skär som redan lett till grundkänning för EU-skutan, så är förmodligen nästa hot lokalt och av geopolitisk karaktär. Rikspolitikerna kan alltid barrikera sig mot den verklighet som medborgarna lever i. Det är svårare för kommunpolitiker, därför att de står närmare sina väljare och deras vardagsverklighet. I dag slits kommunalpolitikerna mellan att vara lojala med rikspolitikereliten och att vara lojala med sina kommuner och invånarna. När sociala kostnader skjuter i höjden, när flyktingmottagandet går över styr, när kriminaliteten ökar, när det inte går att få tag på fler bostäder, så brister deras lojalitet med rikspolitikerna. Det vi ser nu är att rikspolitikerna dövar dem genom att skjuta till mer pengar. Men slantarna kommer att sina och tvångsåtgärderna öka, samtidigt som massinvandringen och de därmed behäftade problemen fortsätter att accelerera. Vi har att se fram emot ett kommunernas uppror.

I dag meddelar P1s nyheter att ungefär 600.000 svenskar tagit en privat sjukförsäkring, vilket ger en genväg till fungerande vård utan större köer. Det är tio procent av den arbetande befolkningen. I februari 2014 visade ny statistik från Svensk Försäkring att på fem år hade privata sjukvårdsförsäkringar ökat med 67 procent. Den trenden har fortsatt.

Därmed håller en av välfärdssveriges viktigaste institutioner på att skjutas i sank. Vården är visserligen inte längre gratis, men den är billig. Det spelar emellertid inte så stor roll om den samtidigt är dålig i betydelsen underbemannad. Vem tycker det är bättre med billig och dålig vård än dyr och bra? I varje fall inte den som kan välja och som idag alltså betalar dubbelt för sin sjukvård: dels via skatten, men för säkerhets skull också via en privat försäkring. Det hindrar inte att beskattningen av medborgarna åter rusar i topp. Från femte till första plats i världen. I världen! Allt fler kommer att fråga vad det egentligen är de betalar för. Varför stanna i Sverige?

Jag har sparat det viktigaste, mest drabbande, minst omskrivna och mest svårhanterliga till sist: känslan av att ha haft turen att födas in i ett homogent, tryggt samhälle, befolkat av människor som är av samma slag och har samma grundsyn på arbetet och vardagstillvaron.

Sverige var ännu för mindre än femtio år sedan ett utpräglat monoetniskt samhälle. Det är en fullkomligt avgörande tillgång, därför att förtroendet medborgarna emellan fungerar inte när medborgarna inte är av samma slag. Det är också orsaken till att stora minoritetsgrupper söker hålla samman och inte vill assimileras in i något mångkulturellt samhälle. Makthavare och opinionsbildare försäkrar oss att alla människor är av samma slag, att tänka annorlunda är rasism, det är att dela in världen i vi och dom, vilket som bekant inte är tillåtet.

Emellertid, medborgarna är inte av samma uppfattning. Jag bor i en av Stockholms mångkulturella förorter, så jag vet också av egen erfarenhet. Romerna som sitter lite varstans och tigger är inte av mitt slag. Inte heller de olika gäng av unga killar som tar kommandot över förorten vid mörkrets inbrott. Dom gillar inte sådana som jag och jag gillar inte dom. När vi får gäster som kommer med tunnelbanan hämtar vi med bil därför att centrum känns inte säkert. Här finns mångkulturens alla underklassiga stigma, alltifrån tobaksaffären med sin många gånger sönderbrutna dörr till påbyltade turkiska kvinnor som hastar förbi. Här finns de ivrigt rökande sysslolösa männen med mörka blickar. Men här finns inte alla mångkulturens förespråkare. De sjunger sin lovsång på andra platser. Jag tycker om min stadsdel, men jag inser att jag numera tillhör en minoritet. Kärleken är inte besvarad, min stadsdel är inte längre min. ”White flight” pågår med etniskt svenska barnfamiljer i spetsen. Min äldste son med familj har flyttat härifrån, till Hälsingland. Här vill de inte bo. Allt färre av de som kan välja vill bo här. Allt färre av de som trots allt vill bo här är etniska svenskar. Den här typen av samhällen breder ut sig med asylinvandringen. Den som tror att detta är en lyckosam framtid för Sverige, ja … vad ska jag säga? Att det kan vara vägen mot ett inbördeskrig.

If you worked on Wall Street in 2008, it was important that your haircut be insane
» ‎ The Verge - All Posts

Tags: [edit]

I'm not going to pretend to understand really anything about the events that led up to the 2008 economic crisis. I was 14, and my sentient memory only extends backward as far as my 15th birthday (more commonly known as the day that Barack Obama was elected president). Thankfully the director of Anchorman is making a movie about the banking collapse starring some of our very favorite actors — a few of whom have some really good one-liners in the trailer and others of whom do not appear in the trailer because they are women. Sorry, Marisa!

Despite McKay’s pedigree, this movie is not a joke; it’s based on a book of the same name by Michael Lewis (it looks like it might be good but that's not what we're here to discuss).

Now, I already knew that Wall Street guys are really into watermarked business cards and the Style section of The New York Times (someone is keeping it alive!), but I guess I didn't realize how into haircuts they are. That's one thing about the financial crisis that I have already learned, thanks to The Big Short. This is something that director Adam McKay and friends have apparently discovered while doing period research for this historical drama.

I don't know anything about Wall Street but now I know something

The Wall Street guys are so into haircuts that the worst slam they can think of is to accuse someone of going to Supercuts for their bimonthly trim. Further, it turns out that the best way to establish yourself as a Wall Street "outsider" or renegade is by getting an insane haircut. On purpose! (Unless 2008 was before mirrors? As I said, I can't remember, so someone fact check that for me, please.) Everything is about haircuts.

Anyway, just to help your digestion, here is a knee-jerk ranking of all of the haircuts in the trailer for The Big Short. In order from I don't know to I don't know.

Christian Bale — Bale's character is the victim of the "you go to Supercuts!" jab, but honestly I think that's a little off-base. His hair was done by Microsoft Paint, that much is obvious to me.

In all seriousness, Michael Burry, the former neurologist Bale plays, was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome; the haircut may be a visual shortcut for some of the social awkwardness Burry contends with. But it's more fun to speculate that Christian Bale's scalp never really recovered from whatever was done to it on the set of American Hustle and this is just how he lives now.

Ryan Gosling — Here lies our first period inaccuracy: this haircut was made famous by One Direction's Louis Tomlinson in 2013, and no sooner. A few points will be awarded for eyebrow perfection.

Steve Carrell — Whattttttttttttt.

Finn Wittrock — Excuse me, I thought we had all made it clear we never wanted to see this person again. He has Prince Eric hair in this shot, but I'm not fooled and I don't appreciate the effort to mislead. Also he has ugly friends, and they're all wearing the same shirt.

Hamish Linklater and this slightly different angle of Steve Carrell — Minutes before this very serious conversation, Steve Carrell's character trimmed his bangs in the bathroom with his kid's lefty craft scissors, while Hamish awakened from a nap to find that he had slept with a curling iron in his front hair chunk for close to three hours.

Brad Pitt — That is not Brad Pitt, that is repurposed footage of Tim Allen mid-Santa Claus transition in The Santa Clause. Here is an editor's note from Liz Lopatto on this photo: "WHAT DID THEY DO TO BRAD PITT. HOW DID THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE HAPPEN." Liz, your concerns have not been heard. They will echo into the abyss. I am going to go see this movie.

Shoutout to these guys, they just did something with guns — And their hair is bad.

Again, Academy Award Winner Marisa Tomei's face isn't in the trailer (bear in mind that there was time for a beautiful nondescript woman to move a pile of poker chips emphatically while the bass dropped).

Strength in “Ober-litionionism”

Excerpted from Fugitive Justice: Runaways, Rescuers, and Slavery on Trial by Steven Lubet. Published by Belkap Press of Harvard University Press.

John Price was born in northern Kentucky in the mid-1830s, the property of the well-to-do Bacon family of Mason County. In 1846 he was inherited by young John Parks Glenn Bacon, who operated a small farm about six miles from the Ohio River.¹ John Bacon allowed Price a good deal of autonomy, entrusting him with management of the farm and sometimes leaving him unsupervised for several days at a time. As was typical among slave owners, Bacon believed he had always been generous to his slaves and had given them no cause for discontent.²

At some point, however, Price grew unhappy with his life in bondage—proximity to Ohio having no doubt exposed him to the possibility of freedom—and he plotted an escape. An opportunity arose in mid-January 1856, when Bacon took his family on a short trip to visit his wife’s father. Almost as soon as Bacon departed, John stole a horse from his master’s barn and reached the Ohio River within a few hours. Although the river appeared frozen solid, it was impossible to be certain in the darkness. He released his horse and ventured onto the ice. Fortunately, the ice held and he was able to reach the other side.

By late February or early March, John Price had settled in Oberlin, about 40 miles southwest of Cleveland. The arrival of a runaway would not have caused a stir anywhere in the Western Reserve, and it was even less unusual in Oberlin. The college had been founded on the principles of both coeducation and racial integration, and the village shared most of the school’s attributes. Black and white citizens lived next door to one another, patronized one another’s businesses, worshipped in the same churches, and attended the same schools.

At the time Oberlin was probably the most fully integrated community in the United States, and it was therefore often the destination of choice for free blacks. Frederick Douglass sent his daughter Rosetta to study at Oberlin, as did the benefactors of Anthony Burns. The citizens of Oberlin also welcomed escaped slaves, often extending public assistance to destitute fugitives, who were cryptically referred to as “poor strangers” or “transient paupers” in the records of the town’s expenditures. John Price was one such beneficiary of Oberlin’s support, receiving $1.25 per week for his “board & keep” during times when he was unemployed. The payments to Price were authorized by the town clerk, John Mercer Langston, who was himself a free black man. An attorney and a graduate of Oberlin College, Langston was one of the first black public officials anywhere in the United States.

Throughout the 1850s Oberlin earned a reputation as “one of the most notorious refuges of fugitive slaves in the North.” Proslavery Democrats scornfully referred to the town’s residents as “Ober-litionists,” but students, faculty, and townsfolk accepted the would-be epithet with pride. The Oberlin Evangelist boasted that the town was “second only to Canada as an asylum for the hunted fugitives,” and while that was probably an exaggeration, it spoke volumes about the community’s commitment to racial equality and resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act. The theologians of Oberlin were not millenarians, but they knew they were living in remarkable times. Even if the battle against slavery was not yet an apocalyptic struggle, it was certainly a biblical confrontation between good and evil.

* * *

Kentucky slave hunter Anderson Jennings first arrived in Oberlin in late August 1858. He sought the assistance of Deputy Marshal Dayton, who provided Jennings with descriptions of several known fugitives, and the Kentuckian believed he could identify one of them as John Price, the property of his neighbor John Bacon. Jennings then sent a letter to Bacon, informing him that he had “discovered a nigger near Oberlin answering to the description of his runaway, John,” and requesting written authority to capture Price.³

Bacon entrusted the power of attorney to another neighbor, Mason County slave catcher Richard Mitchell, with instructions to deliver the documentation to Jennings in Ohio. Bacon gave Mitchell $50 for expenses and promised him an additional $500 for the return of his property. The two slave hunters rendezvoused in Oberlin, meeting at a hotel owned by Chauncey Wack, one of the few proslavery Democrats in town.

Jennings still needed to enlist reinforcements. His first recruit was federal Deputy Marshal Jacob Lowe, an experienced slave catcher with whom he had worked several times before. Lowe then suggested that they ask Samuel Davis, a part-time jailer and deputy sheriff, to join the posse. Davis needed very little convincing, especially after Jennings offered the two officers $50 apiece for their efforts, and the four men gathered at Chauncey Wack’s hotel to plan the apprehension of John Price.

They now had plenty of muscle, but they still lacked a local agent who could help them locate the fugitive without attracting too much attention. Wack suggested that Jennings might get the necessary help from General Lewis Boynton, a prosperous farmer who lived about two miles out of town and an accomplice was found in Boynton’s 13-year-old son, Shakespeare.

On the morning of Monday, Sept. 13, the slave hunters made their move. Driving his father’s horse and buggy, Shakespeare Boynton approached John Price at his home in Oberlin. As instructed by Jennings, Shakespeare offered Price temporary work digging potatoes on the Boynton farm. Price declined, however, because he had promised to help care for an injured friend. Thinking quickly, Shakespeare suggested that Price might still enjoy a short ride in the country. “Well, John,” he said, “you’ve been cooped up there so long, the fresh air must feel good to you; and you may as well have a good ride while you’re about it. I’ll bring you back again.”⁴ Trusting the youngster, Price accepted the wagon ride, little expecting that he was being led into an ambush.

John Price and Shakespeare Boynton had traveled about a mile out of town when a buggy carrying Lowe, Mitchell, and Davis overtook them. The three slave catchers surrounded Price, seizing him and forcing him out of the farm wagon. Price resisted momentarily, but Mitchell threatened him with a pistol and the fugitive realized he had no choice but to surrender. “I’ll go with you,” he said, seemingly resigned to his capture. Having completed his part of the job, Shakespeare Boynton headed back toward Oberlin so he could carry the news of the successful mission to Anderson Jennings, who was waiting at Wack’s Hotel.

With John Price seated securely between them, the slave catchers turned their buggy toward the nearby town of Wellington, where they planned to catch a late-afternoon train to Columbus. Neither white man bothered to mention the necessity of a hearing under the Fugitive Slave Act. Of course, there was little reason at that point to talk of legalities. John Price had no rights that the white men were bound to respect, and the hearing was going to be a mere formality on the way back to Kentucky.

Mitchell, Lowe, and Davis were probably congratulating themselves as they proceeded toward Wellington. Shortly after they reached the halfway point, they encountered another carriage headed in the opposite direction. Reckoning this to be his last chance at freedom, Price called out for help as the two wagons passed each other. It was a tense moment, but the two men in the Oberlin-bound wagon seemed to have ignored Price’s cries.

It turned out, however, that one of those men was Ansel Lyman, an Oberlin student and militant abolitionist who had served with John Brown in Kansas. Lyman had not ignored Price at all; rather, he had realized that he would need reinforcements to challenge three armed slave hunters. Immediately upon arriving in Oberlin, Lyman raised the alarm—a black man had been kidnapped!—drawing dozens into the street. As word spread and the crowd grew larger. Many Oberlin residents—both black and white, male and female—set off for Wellington on horseback and in wagons. Among them was Simeon Bushnell, a bookstore clerk, who shouted, “They have carried off one of our men in broad daylight.” “They can’t have him,” called others in response.

Hundreds of Oberliners set off to rescue John Price, even if they had to walk. The crowd was composed of students and faculty from the college, ministers, merchants, artisans, lawyers, laborers, and farmers. There were freedmen and runaway slaves, heedless of the potential risk to their own liberty. Many of the men brought firearms, including Charles Langston, John Mercer Langston’s brother, who tucked a pistol into his waistband. The rescuers included radical black men such as John Copeland and Lewis Sheridan Leary, who would later join John Brown at Harpers Ferry, but it also included many of Oberlin’s pacifists and missionaries.⁵

Lowe, Mitchell, and Davis arrived with their captive in Wellington some time between noon and 1 p.m., completely unaware that they were being pursued. Anderson Jennings met them shortly afterward, having departed Oberlin before Ansel Lyman had raised the alarm. With more than four hours to spare before the departure of the train to Columbus, the white men and their black prisoner repaired for a meal to Wadsworth’s Hotel, located just a few blocks from the railroad station. Jennings and Price recognized each other, having been neighbors in Mason County, and the two men shook hands. Jennings would later testify that Price expressed happiness about the prospect of returning to Kentucky, but the bewildered fugitive obviously had little choice about his destination.

The town square was unusually crowded that day because a fire earlier in the morning had drawn a large number of onlookers. Thus, the slave catchers did not immediately notice the growing crowd when, at about 2 p.m., the Oberlin rescuers began to reach Wellington. The first rescuers did not know where to find the slave hunters, so they simply gathered in the square, cheering as their numbers grew. Eventually Jennings and company realized what was going on. The shouts from the square had become loud and angry, and there was no mistaking the presence of black men with rifles. With the route to the railroad station completely blocked, and the posse’s whereabouts sure to be exposed at any moment, Jennings turned to innkeeper Oliver Wadsworth for assistance.

Wadsworth’s Hotel was hardly a fortress, but the owner was a slavery sympathizer who ordered his employees to guard the entrances and stairways. They moved John Price to an attic room, accessible only by a ladder, while Jennings and Lowe tried to figure a way out of their predicament. Although Wadsworth’s guards might be able to keep the mob out of the hotel, there was no way to reach the railroad station without additional assistance.

Meanwhile, someone in the square discovered that the slave hunters were at Wadsworth’s, and soon everyone was surging toward the hotel. Estimates of the crowd’s size varied, but there were at least 300 people— perhaps as many as 500, including both Oberliners and Wellington locals—more than enough to shut off every exit from the building.

As the Kentuckians’ dilemma worsened, Jennings decided to appeal directly to the crowd. Stepping out onto a hotel balcony, Jennings declared he wanted “no controversy with the people of Ohio.” Nonetheless, he said, “this boy is mine by the laws of Kentucky and the United States.” Jennings had badly misjudged his listeners. His appeal to the laws of Kentucky only made the crowd angrier. “There are no slaves in Ohio,” someone shouted back. “The boy is willing to go to Kentucky,” Jennings replied. That made the crowd angrier still, and they called for the slave to be brought to the balcony.

Surprisingly, Jennings complied, bringing Price out to speak for himself. Earlier, in the hotel attic, surrounded by four armed men, Price had attempted to placate his captors by agreeing to return to his master. Out on the balcony, however, the frightened slave was more evasive, saying only that he “supposed” he would have to return because Jennings “had got the papers for him.”

Reacting to Price’s obvious equivocation, people in the crowd called for him to jump from the balcony, with one man shouting that “all hell” could not force the captive to Kentucky against his will. Before anything more could happen, however, John Copeland started waving his pistol at Jennings. Copeland had few qualms about killing in the name of freedom—as he later proved at Harpers Ferry—although it was unlikely that he intended to fire a shot at such close quarters. But the mere sight of an armed black man was enough to panic Jennings, who hastily dragged Price back into the hotel.

Lowe had happened to see Charles Langston from the hotel window. Lowe and Langston had known each other in Columbus—where Langston had once worked—and the deputy believed that he “was a reasonable man.” Lowe sent for Langston, in a last-ditch effort to resolve the impasse.

But Langston would be one of the last Oberliners to negotiate with the posse. Langston attempted to persuade the deputy to release his prisoner, pointing out that the crowd was “bent upon a rescue at all hazards.” The discussion between Lowe and Langston was cordial, though unproductive.

Not long after Langston emerged empty-handed from the hotel, members of the crowd decided that the time for talk had ended. Separate groups stormed the building from all sides, entering almost simultaneously through the front and back doors. Rescuers struggled past Wadsworth’s employees, making their way up an interior staircase until they reached the door of the attic redoubt. They called on Jennings and Lowe to release Price, but the deputy marshal refused. He was personally responsible for Price’s custody, and he would not surrender his prisoner no matter how hopeless the situation appeared.

Taking advantage of a hole in the wall, an Oberlin student named William Lincoln managed to force open the attic door, knocking Jennings to the ground in the process. Other rescuers, including John Copeland, pushed through the doorway, causing confusion among the slave catchers. Richard Winsor, an Oberlin theology student, grabbed Price by the arm and hurried him out into the hall. Winsor had waited more than four years for just that moment. In 1854 the young Englishman had been in the crowd that stood by as Anthony Burns was marched in chains to Boston Harbor for his rendition to Georgia. Winsor had silently vowed never to watch another black man delivered to slavery, and he joyfully took the opportunity to make good on his pledge.

The rescuers carried John Price out of the hotel, bearing them on their shoulders into the public square. The crowd let out a cheer of victory as Price was thrown into the back of Simeon Bushnell’s wagon, which the bookstore clerk then furiously drove back to the safety of Oberlin.

John Price would be hidden in Oberlin for a few days and then spirited across Lake Erie to Canada, where he was able to live the rest of his life in freedom. Although no word of him ever came back to Oberlin, John Mercer Langston would later remark confidently that “John Price walks abroad in his freedom, or reposes under his own vine and fig tree with no one to molest him or make him afraid.”⁶

Inte bra nog för SHL – knappt ens för allsvenskan
» ‎ Hockeysverige

IK Pantern krigade ner ett blekt Leksand. Vad ska man säga om dalkarlarnas öppning av säsongen egentligen?

Kris?

Fem omgångar in i hockeyallsvenskan, kan man tala om kris i Leksands IF? Det lag som i våras bara var en ynka match från att klara sig kvar i SHL och idag ligger tolva i allsvenskan?

Låt oss säga så här.

Ikväll förlorade man mot nykomlingen IK Pantern. Det var helt i sin ordning. Malmö-gänget var det klart bättre laget. Det gäng som hade mest tydlig spelidé och krigade hårdast.

Låt oss därför konstatera fakta.

Det lag som spelade bättre hockey och lade ner en hårdare arbetsinsats än Leksand den här kvällen ställde hela 17 spelare som spelade ordinarie i Hockeyettan förra säsongen på isen. 17 stycken som inte spelade på den här nivån ifjol.

Leksand hade inte en enda. Faktum är att Leksand aldrig ens skulle bemöda sig att rikta blicken mot Hockeyettan för att värva en enda spelare.

Ändå var det IK Pantern som gick segrande ur striden. Högst rättvist dessutom.

Det säger ganska, för att inte säga väldigt mycket om hur det är ställt med Leksands IF i september 2015.

Laget som ägnat i stort sett hela 2000-talet åt att bevisa att man inte är bra nog för SHL är just idag knappt ens bra nog för allsvenskan.

Man ska ha all respekt för att det är ett till stora delar helt nytt lag som ska spelas ihop, men det är knappast något exklusivt för Leksand. Så ser verkligheten ut för väldigt många i hockeyallsvenskan. Se bara på Asplöven till exempel, de får ständigt börja om på ruta ett, men ligger idag i tabellens absoluta topp och, betydligt viktigare, spelar underhållande och effektiv ishockey.

För det är just det Leksand inte gör. Man spelar varken underhållande eller vägvinnande ishockey. Man spelar tam, trist och tandlös hockey som är lika färglös som föreningens matchtröjor.

Det är ingen slump att laget inte gör några mål, för det tycks inte finnas någon killer-instinkt hos spelarna.

IK Pantern var trubbigt. Riktigt trubbigt till och med. Vilken ingen behöver förvånas över eftersom det som sagt är en helt ny nivå för många av spelarna. Ändå var man alltså bättre än Leksand. Ändå var det helt och hållet målvakten Frans Tuohimaa (han är i sanning den enda leksing som är lysande match efter match) som såg till att siffrorna inte blev större.

Där Kim Johansson klev fram och gjorde det en kapten ska göra, avgjorde för sitt lag, fanns ingen som tycktes vilja göra detsamma i Leksand.

All respekt för IK Pantern, jag är stum av beundran inför det jobb de lägger ner varje match. Men ett harmoniskt och fungerande gäng dalkarlar ska inte kunna arbetas sönder av en nykomling utan resurser. En nykomling som inte har några andra verktyg än just hårt jobb.

Inte ens ett så profillöst lag som byggts till årets säsong ska kunna besegras på ett sådant sätt.

Så kan man tala om kris?

Njae, det är väl att vara lite väl het på gröten, men vi kan i alla fall konstatera att det som så här långt presterats den här säsongen inte är värdigt klubbemblemet.

Det spelar ingen roll vad det är för snubbar som befinner sig i de där tröjorna. Leksand ska alltid prestera bättre ishockey än vad man gör just nu.

Eller är det så att de kommande 15 åren ska ägnas åt att visa att laget inte är bra nog för allsvenskan?
