Wired -- Larry Flynt: Life, Liberty and
Pursuit of Porn
02/19/2004 11:34 AM
For today's edition of Wired News, I
interview
Larry Flynt. As
Hustler magazine nears its 30-year anniversary, the adult
entertainment magnate reflects on how technology has changed his
business, the Justice Department's new "porn czar," the
f
irst major federal obscenity prosecution in over a decade, how the
Patriot Act relates to porn, and why online anonymity matters. I also
asked him about some recent
allegations regarding George W. Bush that were attributed to
Flynt, and published by
New York Daily News. His response: a
new book he's releasing on July 4 will document a year-long
investigation into those claims. Snip:
Larry Flynt: [Technology has] had a dramatic effect. In the
1980s, publishing was 80 percent of my business. Now it's about 20
percent, and the rest is Internet or video. I don't think many people
anticipated how the Internet was going to revolutionize the way we
disseminate information. Now everybody does -- but some did in time,
and some didn't. That's one of the reasons Penthouse filed for
bankruptcy. They were relying totally on publishing. We knew in the
early 1990s that we needed to diversify and branched out into a lot of
different areas. Technology still has many surprises for us down the
road, particularly in the wireless area. It's going to be absolutely
phenomenal. In the next two to five years, you'll see the computer and
your home television set merging. You'll have one remote control, and
they'll effectively be one device.
WN: Do you ever get tired of having to answer for the actions
of some of your more extreme colleagues in the industry?
Flynt: No. I let them do their thing and I do mine. I try to
set an example for them. But I've been to prison, and I don't think
some of them have. Let them try it, maybe it will change their
attitude.

where skin porn and food porn collide
where skin porn and food porn collide
03/23/2005 10:09 AM
It's fun to use google and see what it returns when searching for
'sticky buns' as, well, the imagination is a poor substitute for
reality. When food and skin porn collide it gets fairly ugly pretty
quickly. Sticky buns are likely the source of inspiration for the
Finnish bostonkakku which are served like a pie rather than the
individual buns. One of the guys at work quipped that it is served
this way because you can feed 20 instead of 8 people.
I figured that since I was making dallaspulla that I'd make the
inspiration for texaspulla and bostonkakku so that my test subjects
would know just what they had been missing all these years. :) The
dough is a snap to make even without a mixer and is much easier to
work with than the pulla dough. The only drawback is the time spent
waiting for the dough to rise. With a four-day weekend approaching
where absolutely nothing will be open and we'll likely have crappy
weather given that it's a holiday, what could be better than making a
pan of sticky buns and eating them instead of chocolate eggs? These
are, by far, the best cinnamon rolls I've ever made and my test
subjects consumed them in a shark chum feeding frenzy. Two guys even
asked me for the recipe.
Sticky Buns, a.k.a. caramel rolls or cinnamon rolls
Makes: 12 sticky buns
Time: ~30 minutes prep, 3 hours for dough rising
Source: Cook's Illustrated
This recipe has four components: the dough that is shaped into buns,
the filling that creates the swirl in the shaped buns, the caramel
glaze that bakes in the bottom of the baking dish along with the buns,
and the pecan topping that garnishes the buns once baked. Although the
ingredient list may look long, note that many ingredients are
repeated. Leftover sticky buns can be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap
and refrigerated for up to 3 days, but they should be warmed through
before serving. They reheat quickly in a microwave oven (for 2 buns,
about 2 minutes at 50 percent power works well); they can also be put
into a 325F/175C-degree oven for about 8 minutes.
Dough
-
3 large eggs at room temperature
-
3/4 cup buttermilk (2 dl piima) at room temperature
-
1/4 cup (.5 dl) granulated sugar
-
1 1/4 teaspoons table salt
-
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet sunnuntai dry yeast)
-
4 1/4 cups (10,5 dl) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus additional
for dusting work surface
-
6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
-
In bowl of standing mixer, whisk eggs; add buttermilk and whisk to
combine.
-
Whisk in sugar, salt, and yeast.
-
Add about 2 cups (5 dl) flour and butter; stir with wooden spoon or
rubber spatula until evenly moistened and combined.
-
Add all but about 1/4 cup (1/2 dl) remaining flour and knead with
dough hook at low speed 5 minutes.
-
Check consistency of dough (dough should feel soft and moist but
should not be wet and sticky; add more flour, if necessary); knead at
low speed 5 minutes longer (dough should clear sides of bowl but stick
to bottom).
-
Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; knead by hand
about 1 minute to ensure that dough is uniform (dough should not stick
to work surface during hand kneading; if it does stick, knead in
additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time).
-
Lightly spray large bowl or plastic container with nonstick cooking
spray. Transfer dough to bowl, spray dough lightly with cooking spray,
then cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
-
Set in warm, draftfree spot until doubled in volume, 2 to 2 1/2
hours.
Caramel Glaze
-
6 tablespoons or 85g unsalted butter
-
3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
-
3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
-
2 tablespoons heavy cream
-
1 pinch table salt
-
Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for glaze in small saucepan.
-
Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is
melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
-
Pour mixture into nonstick metal 13- by 9-inch (33cm x 23cm) baking
dish.
-
Using rubber spatula, spread mixture to cover surface of baking
dish.
-
Set baking dish aside.
Cinnamon-Sugar Filling
-
3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
-
1 pinch table salt
-
1 tablespoon or 15g unsalted butter, melted
-
Raisins (optional)
-
Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in small bowl.
-
Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined, using fingers to break
up sugar lumps.
-
Set aside.
To assemble and bake buns:
-
Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
-
Gently shape dough into rough rectangle with long side nearest you.
-
Lightly flour dough and roll to 16-inch x 12-inch (40cm x 30cm)
rectangle.
-
Brush dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter, leaving 1/2-inch
border along top edge; with butter remaining on brush, brush sides of
baking dish.
-
Sprinkle filling mixture over dough, leaving 3/4-inch border along
top edge; smooth filling in even layer with your hand, then gently
press mixture into dough to adhere. Add rasins if you desire.
-
Beginning with long edge nearest you, roll dough into taut
cylinder.
-
Firmly pinch seam to seal and roll cylinder seam-side down.
-
Very gently stretch to cylinder of even diameter and 18-inch (45
cm) length; push ends in to create even thickness.
-
Using a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion, slice cylinder in
half, then slice each half in half again to create evenly sized
quarters.
-
Slice each quarter evenly into thirds, yielding 12 ~1.5 inch (3,75
cm) buns (end pieces may be slightly smaller).
-
Arrange buns cut-side down in prepared baking dish.
-
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set in warm, draft-free spot
until puffy and pressed against one another, about 1 hour.
-
Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lowest position, place pizza stone
(if using) on rack, and heat oven to 350F/175C degrees.
-
Place baking pan on pizza stone; bake until golden brown and center
of dough registers about 180F/82C degrees on instant-read thermometer,
25 to 30 minutes.
-
Cool on wire rack 10 minutes; invert onto rimmed baking sheet,
large rectangular platter, or cutting board.
-
With rubber spatula, scrape any glaze remaining in baking pan onto
buns; let cool while making pecan topping.
Pecan Topping
-
3 tablespoons or 50g unsalted butter
-
1/4 cup (.5 dl) light brown sugar, packed
-
3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
-
1 pinch table salt
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
-
3/4 cup (1,75 dl) pecans or walnuts, toasted in a skillet over
medium heat until fragrant and browned, about 5 minutes, then cooled
and coarsely chopped
-
Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in small saucepan
and bring to simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally to
thoroughly combine.
-
Off heat, stir in vanilla and pecans until pecans are evenly
coated.
-
Using soup spoon, pour heaping tablespoon of nuts and topping over
center of each sticky bun.
-
Continue to cool until sticky buns are warm, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Pull apart or use knife to cut apart sticky buns; serve.

04/29/2004 09:19 AMNY Times: Court
Hears Case on U.S. Detainees. The Bush administration yielded
no ground before the Supreme Court on Wednesday in arguing that the
open-ended military detention of United States citizens as enemy
combatants, without criminal charges or access to lawyers, was
justified both in law and as policy.
The
administration's claim here -- that the president and his aides alone
can decide to lock an American citizen away forever is a claim to
their right, and that of future presidents', to be tyrants.
It's incredible that this is even thinkable. But our collective fear
from the Sept. 11 attacks, and Congress' absolute spinelessness in
defending the Constitution it swore to uphold, has given Bush what he
so plainly wants: the opportunity to be the president who asserts, and
gets, absolute power.
Absolute power is
always abused. Always. This kind of
absolute power -- making leaders the prosecutor, judge and jury -- is
the lynchpin of tyranny.
If the court upholds this abuse of liberty, it will be assisting in a
crime: If this assault on the Constitution succeeds -- if the
Constitution has truly become meaningless on something so fundamental
-- then we will have destroyed America to save it.
The stakes are that high.
NOTE:
Slate's
coverage of the court arguments yesterday has a smart additional
feature. There are inserts linking to the audio of specific
exchanges.
Liberty Still Alive

06/28/2004 09:35 PMNY Times:
Supreme Court Affirms Detainees' Right to Use Courts. The
Supreme Court ruled today that people being held by the United States
as enemy combatants can challenge their detention in American courts
— the court's most important statement in decades on the balance
between personal liberties and national security.
There's still a scary deference to the executive branch
in some of the language in these rulings. But there's also something
to cheer: the president can't decide what the law is.
The court punted on the Padilla case. He's an American citizen who was
grabbed on U.S. soil and slammed indefinitely into a military brig.
The court said his lawyer raised the case in the wrong court. Sheesh.
But there's overall good news. As one justice wrote, the "War on
Terror" does not give the president "a blank check" in defining the
rights -- or lack of rights -- the Constitution grants.

Two essays on liberty, freedom, and
patriotism
Two essays on liberty, freedom, and
patriotism
07/05/2004 04:17 PMOn this American holiday, two pieces that merit considered reading --
both via Dan Gillmor's
blog.
The first from Pete McCloskey in the SFChron:
Patriotism (and shame) on the Fourth of
July. "The word
patriot is too precious to allow it to be
used by the thundering rhetoric of politicians that patriotism
requires not only
supporting the troops but also supporting the
foreign policy that puts them at risk."
The second, a Sunday column from Dan Gillmor in the SJMerc: "On
Independence Day, 2004, how fares American liberty? Brilliantly, if
you compare the United States with the tyrannies that still control
the lives of countless people. Not badly, if liberty means the right
to seek economic gain in a capitalist system -- especially if you're
starting with the right connections and a privileged background. Not
as well, when you look at growing pressures on longstanding freedoms."
And when you're done with those, may I suggest down
loading the United States Constitution for your iPod, inserting
earplugs, cranking up the volume, and taking a walk out there in the
fresh summer air.
