Also, will a facelift rekindle a Volvo owner's passion, is a Summer in Palm Springs hot enough to melt tires, and on Stump the Chumps, was Champagne's rattle really caused by a loose heat shield?

    Only on Planet Magliozzi would two dreadful diagnoses constitute good news for a Caravan owner. Also, on Stump the Chumps, did Tom and Ray successfully solve Simon's wibbly-wobblies, a Saab turns into a sullen teenager, a Dad wonders if there's a "Hey guys, watch this" gene, and a few things you never heard your mother say.

So, lets get into it…In a nutshell, a rail system is a framework to support your camera and accessories.  It is called a rail system, because it usually starts with a pair of rails, or tubes that are held together with some framework of blocks…

Knowing when and how to tell the difference? Usually you only learn that on the back side, after you give it a try. I am not a big fan of the "fake it til you make it" school. I prefer authenticity and simple truths. Having said that, I also believe we are each free to try anything we want.

Being accurate means that something is free from error, especially due to care, and conforming exactly to truth or to a standard. Accuracy, with dialect, will never get to you where you need to go... you must achieve authenticity! Authenticity has to do with being worthy of acceptance or belief as it is based upon fact. A truly authentic dialect has more to it than learning and delivering the words. We must never…

    The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) wants your help to beat a recently approved patent on podcasting that many feel is bogus. In July, Volomedia announced that it had been awarded a US patent on podcasting, and the company said that  it expects companies creating products relating to podcasting and media synchronization to enter into partnerships with VoloMedia. Many think the Volomedia patent is overly broad and fails to take into consideration prior work. “I’m certainly not a lawyer or an expert in patent law,” said podcast pioneer Dave Winer upon hearing of…

A pioneer of techno and dance music, Moby helped to bring the genres to mainstream attention throughout the '90s, as evidenced by his last album, "Play," the best selling electronica album ever. "Wait for Me" was recorded in his bedroom on the lower east side, and Moby attests it's a quieter and more melodic affair than much of his previous work. He'll explain the grounds for this divergence during the interview and plays a brand new song, "One Time We Lived."

The only winner in this case appears to be her publisher, Simon & Schuster – who will publish the selfsame Dick Cheney's memoirs in 2011. Google and two author and publisher organizations have submitted a new version of a legal settlement that would allow Google to distribute millions of digital books online.

If you like my less polished reactions to the material, you;ll like this; and it's a seriously arousing, explicit story by a very gifted British author. In it, a young woman fantasizes about a boarder in her parent's home, only to come home one night to discover she'ts not the object of his affections. What happens next is quite surprising.

With just 10 songs, the album clocks in at over an hour, with most songs averaging a good six and a half minutes long.

    Late nineteenth–century art is usually identified with airy and colorful impressionist paintings and the radiant atmosphere of Paris. But in the shadowy recesses an art of a very different kind thrived. Prints, drawings, and small sculpture from the period present an alternative vision in depictions of the inner worlds of emotions, anxieties, and fantasies. Mainly stored away rather than openly displayed by their owners, the works in this exhibition appealed to artists and audiences devoted to a private aesthetic experience. Peter Parshall, the Gallery's curator of old master prints, talks…

Speaking in front of a live audience, I often bring up the issue of the importance of exposing children to art at a very early age. Every young parent knows the benefit of suspending a mobile with bright shiny objects above the crib to activate the child's brain. Therefore, there is no doubt in my mind that bringing these little angels to museums, even before they are potty-trained, is wonderfully stimulating as…

    When people think of olive oil, they almost always think about the Mediterranean diet.  That’s because olive oil is a key ingredient in many recipes from the Mediterranean region.  However, because of it’s wonderful taste and amazing health benefits, olive oil is also growing in popularity outside the Mediterranean.  That is no surprise because olive oil has a way of enriching and complimenting dishes, such as fish, pastas, meats, salads, soups and so forth.  It really is a wonderful ingredient to add to almost any dish.  So much so, that olive oil has become a staple in my…

    Most people who are trying to get fit or lose weight, understand that aerobic exercise is a key component of reaching their goals.  The question isn’t: “Should we do aerobic exercise?” It’s: “How intensely should we do aerobic exercise?” The answer that we usually hear is that working out at a moderate exercise intensity enables us to get the most out of our workouts. If you’re not exactly sure what moderate exercise intensity is supposed to feel like, you’re not alone.  Many people don’t truly understand how exercise intensity is measured.  Today,…

Really, it was only a matter of time before this happened: That’s right, its a Devil’s Trap Doormat. You want to get your hands on one of these bad boys?

  • Ceasefire - UChannel

    19 Nov 2009 | 8:00 am
    Who is not against war? Who won't have peace? When there is a speaker who pleads for a ceasefire in the most general sense, who pleads against war all over - who would not agree? What arguments are there that war should stop and that this will benefit people are actually unknown and would surprise us? I set out to listen to a podcast issue at UChannel Podcast with exactly these questions. Professor Gordon Fellman spoke at the Brandeis University under the title Cease-Fire: The case for ending war. Fellman proposes three main, bad, reasons for war. One is that war serves the economy. Two is…
  • Poncke Princen - Het Marathon Interview

    18 Nov 2009 | 11:40 pm
    In 1994 verleende de toenmalige minister van buitenlandse zaken, Hans van Mierlo, een visum aan de deserteur Poncke Princen om zijn familie in Nederland te kunnen bezoeken. De officiele feed van Het Marathoninterview van de VPRO kwam deze week met de uitzending met Van Mierlo uit 1989, maar eigenlijk is het veel interessanter om naar het marathoninterview met Princen uit 1995 te luisteren. We werden geattendeerd op het gesprek met Princen dankzij het blog van de interviewer Ronald van den Boogaard. Van den Boogaards stukje verwijst naar het interview met Princen op de website van Het…
  • Vietnam War perspectives - NBIH

    18 Nov 2009 | 7:53 am
    Interview podcasts such as New Books in History are, in my opinion, a particularly effective genre. Podcast seems to fit interviews and the technicalities of recording phone calls, especially on internet channeled calls, are not particularly complicated. So it is uncomplicated and it gives a result that is accessible for the listener and this counts for the success of New Books in History among others. Yet, at times, NBIH has more than one interview guest and then it is more difficult to pull the whole thing off. The interview with Mark Bradley and Marilyn Young that came out last week, is a…
  • New Testament history and literature - Yale

    17 Nov 2009 | 8:00 am
    The DIY Scholar and others have already recommended Yale's new open course Introduction to New Testament History and Literature with Professor Dale B. Martin. And I am here to recommend it also. (feed) However, a discussion rose in the Podcast Parlor, because in this lecture Dale Martin made an attempt to frame the origins of Christianity in the Judaism of the Second Temple Period and carelessly characterized Judaism as "an ideology of empire and world domination embedded in [the] scripture, and yet [the] social and political situation was just the opposite." This had some eyebrows raised yet…

Abroad meant among others she went to Germany to get a taste of how Muslims are treated there, but it also meant joining up with the podcast Sounds Jewish (also by The Guardian) and discuss how the Gaza war affected English Muslims, Jews and their relationship.

  • KunstlerCast #89: Everyday Architecture

    James Howard Kunstler & Duncan Crary
    19 Nov 2009 | 9:26 am
    James Howard Kunstler thinks that most modern buildings are not really architecture, they're just manufactured boxes. Whether it's suburban houses, or retail stores, the buildings of our everyday environment send the message that we don't care about ourselves or our surroundings. Kunstler tackles cartoon eateries, reflective glass office buildings, and otherwise good new urban buildings that lack proper ornamentation. We hear from a listener caller in Pittsburgh at the end of the show. Note: curseword at 35:18 mins Sponsors: Chelsea Green, publisher of James McCommons' "Waiting on a Train" (…
  • KunstlerCast #88: In General

    James Howard Kunstler & Duncan Crary
    12 Nov 2009 | 10:42 am
    James Howard Kunstler speaks about the role of generalists in a world of hyper specialists. Although hyper-specialists are experts in their narrow fields, their work is often disregardful of the larger picture. Traffic engineers, for example, can move huge numbers of cars extremely efficiently, using fine-tuned formulas for curve ratios and grades, but their final product often makes downtowns un-walkable for pedestrians. A sense of hyper-individualism in U.S. culture is another obstacle that stands in the way of thinking about our society and its problems in general terms. At the close of…
  • KunstlerCast #87: Boston

    James Howard Kunstler & Duncan Crary
    5 Nov 2009 | 10:10 am
    James Howard Kunstler thinks Boston is one of the few healthy major cities left in the U.S. He says gentrification has been a good thing for the city. He is disappointed with the outcome of Boston's "big dig" project, though. When the city finally placed a major elevated expressway underground, Boston squandered a great opportunity to repair the street-and-block fabric that the highway had previously disrupted. Instead, so-called environmentalists succeeded in advocating for a half-assed, nebulous "green space." On the subject of ugly architecture, Kunstler says the MIT area in nearby…
  • KunstlerCast #86: The High Line

    James Howard Kunstler & Duncan Crary
    28 Oct 2009 | 11:09 pm
    James Howard Kunstler discusses two major projects that have recently turned 19th century railroad structures into parks: the High Line in lower Manhattan and the Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. The High Line is a unique park in New York City, built upon a former elevated rail line that used to bring trains through buildings. Although the High Line gives reprieve to New Yorkers, Kunstler finds it to be an accidental freak of urban nature. We would benefit more from the deliberate creation of beautifully designed streets and boulevards at grade level. The Walkway Over the Hudson…
  • KunstlerCast #85: Is NYC The Green Metropolis?

    James Howard Kunstler & Duncan Crary
    22 Oct 2009 | 8:40 am
    Inspired by David Owen's book "Green Metropolis," James Howard Kunstler examines the idea of Manhattan as a "green" city. Kunstler believes that, during his lifetime, New York has never been in as good shape as it is now. But he also thinks it will never be in as good shape again. Financial and energy problems in the future may turn our newest skyscrapers into one-generation buildings, outlandish monuments built during the twilight of an empire. Of all the boroughs, Kunstler thinks Brooklyn may fare the best because of its higher quality urban fabric. Sponsor: http://www.grinningplanet.com
