Remember Burma? - Friday Film Pick: Happy World
2011-11-04 17:06:00 A short while back, Bryan Farrell, who also writes for WagingNonviolence, told Slate readers about a short web doc called “Happy World.” A peak inside the bizarre dictatorship currently gripping Burma, the doc blends satire and observation to reveal the absurdity of the ongoing regime. The film lacks real analysis, but is a solid compendium ...
Big Ten announces conference slate
2009-08-20 00:00:00 Northwestern men's basketball now knows exactly what teams it will be playing during the 2009-10 Big Ten conference. The Big Ten regular season schedule was released on Wednesday. You can check out the whole thing at NUSports.com.The two teams the Wildcats will play just once are Purdue and Ohio State. Missing the Boilermakers - a preseason Top 10 team according to many analysts - is a big help for Northwestern. The Wildcats will travel to Columbus, Ohio to take on the Buckeyes while the Boilermakers will come to Evanston. Still, I think it might have been better for the Wildcats if the situation had been reversed. A game against Purdue is going to be difficult no matter the location, whereas...

Colonial Mantel with Slate Surround
2008-08-08 03:31:00 The first mantel that I ever built was a colonial style mantel with a slate surround and hearth. The photo shows the mantel and surround that I built in our first home. I really wish I kept photos of the fire place before this project so you could see the dramatic change.The previous fire place had a serious 70's look to it. The fire place surround and hearth were a dreadful looking off white architectural brick that looked like something from the Brady Bunch house. The brick went from floor to ceiling and the hearth was approximately the same size as the new one.I framed a surround around the upper portion of the brick chimney and covered it with drywall. Then I built the mantel as you see it in the photo. I used techniques similar to the ones I used when I built our latest custom mantel. All of the wood used was pine and poplar and I glued and biscuited all the joints.Once the mantel was done I applied slate tiles directly to the existing brick. I used thin set and tiled the surr...

CBS News: They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
2008-04-24 16:43:00 It is time for CBS News to be put down, in the Old Yeller sense of the phrase. It's time to turn out the lights and just start airing Hollywood gossip at 6:30 p.m. The network could follow Schieffer's lead and simply dissolve the thing after the inauguration, maybe keeping 60 Minutes around, either as a commercial-free public service program (because what exec doesn't love a prestige-hogging loss leader?) or under the auspices of CBS' entertainment division (because why keep pretending?). The farewell would be handled with dignified pomp?tributes to Murrow and Severeid and so forth. And if Walter Cronkite is in good health, he could do the honors with a final sign off. I'm serious. That's how bad things are, and that's the way it is. Troy Patterson Slate "Dead Air.

Slate Calls BS on PETA's Meat Prize
2008-04-23 20:08:00 Just days after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PITA) announced a $1 million dollar prize for a commercially viable in vitro meat, Slate has called it "bogus" and a "publicity stunt". You can read the article here. The problem, according to Slate, is that in order to cash in on the prize money, "they need to move 2,000 pounds of the stuff at supermarkets and chain restaurants spread out across 10 states during a period of three months. And the Franken-meat can't cost more than regular chicken." A company would have to make a significant and successful investment in order to get paid. That's like your parents bribing you to get a decent job, but only paying you after you've had the job for three months. To top it off, the test tube meat would need to be approved by the FDA in record time in order to meet the prize deadline of June 30, 2012. To put that time-frame into perspective, sucralose (Splenda) was discovered in 1976 and approved by the FDA in 1998. I wouldn...

Slate Delegate Calculator Shows Obama Lead Even With Clinton Wins
2008-03-04 20:25:00 The sheer power of Senator Barack Obama's eleven straight primary wins and its impact on the delegate race can be seen just by using Slate's Delegate Calculator. It's an online device where one can test how overall or specific state-by-state percentage wins effect the overall delegate race. I've found that even if Senator Clinton were to win all of the remaining contests by an average of 10 percent for each state, including today's "Super Tuesday" primaries -- a total of 16 primaries and contests -- Senator Obama would still hold an overall lead in pledged delegates, but need 392 superdelegates to reach 2,025. Right now, he has 208 Superdelegates. Now, think about this. Even if Clinton WON each -- each state -- from now on and by an average of 10 percent, Obama would still have the lead in delegates 1,633 to 1,576. That's why there's so much pressure for Clinton to get out of the race. There's no realistic scenario where Clinton could win all of the states and have t...
