"I have a wide-range of food experience - working in the restaurant industry on both sides of the house, later in the wine industry, and finally traveling/tasting my way around the world. Whether you agree or disagree, you can always count on my unbiased opinion. I don't take free meals, and the restaurants don't know when, or if, I am coming."

The Disciple of Dr. Alfred Kinsey: Hugh Hefner and the PlayBoy ...

Hugh Hefner is known to mankind as someone who is celebrated for multiple women in his bed. He is known for sex, and for people of this generation he is a ?god-like? being untouchable for his sexual exploits that appear to promote sexual freedoms specifically in adult women.

?I will be Kinsey?s pamphleteer. I will train other people, tell them the truth about our parents and their sexuality,? Reisman says of Hefner.

In my new book, we?ll take a look at the historical context of homosexual pedophiles who pushed particular agendas within homosexuality, same-sex marriages, and promiscuity in order to arrive at their current pursuit, legalized child molesting.

Kinsey is said to be the one who took advantage of men coming home from World War II, changed by their environment, all of America seeking normalcy and being introduced to a book with false reports of Americans who were sexually free engaging not only in homosexuality, but pedophilia.

?Hefner trains billions of men worldwide in Kinsey?s pedophile-based anti-god third-world sex.?Few men saw the anti-manhood, the emasculation, the impotence that lurked in the Playboy sex. All pornography creates impotence in the male viewer,? Reisman says in one of her Seminars.

In 1994, Play Boy Magazine sued Judith Reisman for Libel because she said on a dutch television station that Play Boy produced Child Pornography and pushed Incest.

Hugh Hefner admitted to having sex with me in 1971, and the Dutch courts (much more liberal than America) stated that Hefner was producing and sharing child pornography. Judith Reisman, who won the case, invites Hefner to sue her in the United States. Upon my research, I have learned that the empire is crumbling and the company is for sale.

?The research was an investigative analysis of PLAYBOY, PENTHOUSE and HUSTLER over the period of December 1953 to December 1984 to examine for nonviolent, violent, and criminal image portrayal and scenario involvement of children. The research reported the findings of 14,854 images of crime and violence and 6,004 images of children (with the predominate group being girls between ages 3 to 11 years) as part of the overall sexual and violent scenario. There were 989 sexual scenarios which included children actively involved with adults; and each magazine portrayed children as unharmed and/or benignly affected by the child/adult sex. For related volumes, see NCJ 107147-107149.? ? Judith Reisman, PHD

The next time that you celebrate Hugh Hefner, and assume that you want to be ?like? him. understand that he is a homosexual pedophile whose degree is in Psychology with two minor degree is creative writing and art. He is the disciple of Dr. Alfred Kinsey who was a homosexual pedophile, whose ?research? funded in part by the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Department of Justice molested 317 children.

Art Authority Ships K-12 edition, A Perfect Fit for the iPad mini

[prMac.com] Ashland, Oregon - The creators of the award-winning Art Authority app line announced that they have added a special K-12 iPad app to the line, timed to coincide with availability of Apple's new iPad mini. Art Authority K-12 for iPad, a full-featured "age appropriate" version of their award-wining iPad app, is available immediately through the App Store. The app includes access to works by the same 1000+ western artists as the rest of the line, but with nudity and other sexual content removed. Essential historical works, such as "Venus de Milo" and "Creation of Adam," are still included through special detailed views that avoid nudity.

"Teachers have been telling us they love Art Authority and want to use it in the classroom, but don't want to worry about inadvertently exposing students to inappropriate content," said Alan Oppenheimer, president of Art Authority co-developer Open Door Networks. "We wanted to be sure we still provided them with a complete historic view in the process. Art Authority K-12 happily accomplishes both goals. Plus it's a perfect fit for the new iPad mini, Apple's least expensive tablet."

Art Authority K-12 is available immediately through the App Store for a special introductory price of $3.99, and will be available through Apple's Education Volume Purchase Program. Details of all Art Authority products and services, including the recently announced Prints on Demand program, are available through the Art Authority Web site.

It brings over 55,000 high-resolution classic works of art to users' fingertips. Hailed as "an experience unlike any other" and "visually dazzling," the app professionally displays paintings and sculptures by over 1000 major western artists from ancient times through current-day. The app is in use by Seton Hill University and a number of other educational institutions worldwide. Art Authority for Macintosh, iPhone, and Kindle Fire bring similar functionality to these devices.

U.S. Shed 9,000 Mining, Energy Jobs in October, 17,000 Since May

Buried in Friday?s Bureau of Labor Statistics report on the country?s unemployment situation was this disheartening fact: 9,000 employees of the mining and resource extraction sector lost their jobs in October.

That brings total job losses in that sector to 17,000 since May, according to BLS.

The Bureau, which is a division of the Labor Department, defines the ?mining? industry thusly:

The Mining sector comprises establishments that extract naturally occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. The term mining is used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations, beneficiating (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, and flotation), and other preparation customarily performed at the mine site, or as a part of mining activity.

?Mining lost 9,000 jobs in October, with most of the decline occurring in support?activities for mining,? BLS reported Friday morning. ?Since May of this year, employment in mining has decreased?by 17,000.?

Energy has become a hot-button issue of late as the country debates major regulations on industries that fall under BLS?s ?mining? rubric and taxpayer incentives for other energy sectors.

While the president often touts his policies as friendly to the conventional fuel industry, BLS?s numbers suggest the sector is hitting a financial rough patch.

?The American people have endured more than four years of economic hardship, yet Washington regulators have continued their assault on affordable energy and the jobs that developing our domestic resources could provide, particularly on federal lands,? said the American Energy Institute in a Friday news release on the BLS numbers. ?We cannot experience lasting economic recovery or create the jobs that will drive our energy future with the status quo.?

The Heritage Foundation profiled some of the workers in this sector of the economy July video on uranium mining:

Scott Forstall: Apple's Inventor - Business Insider

When Apple forced its mobile software leader Scott Forstall out of the company, it pushed out the most prolific inventor at the company, as measured by recent patent filings.

Forstall's name is on 166 pending patent applications. That's more than anyone at the company, according to data from investment bank MDB Capital.

"He's one of, if not the most prolific inventors at Apple," says Erin-Michael Gill, Managing Director and Chief Intellectual Property Office at MDB. "If this guy is who the data seems to imply he is, letting him leave is a huge deal."

MDB specializes in analyzing patent filings. It has its own database of patent information. Gill sent us a table of Apple patents filings by employees. Gill warns that it's difficult to be completely accurate about pending patents, but MDB's data is the "best data available publicly."

The two people that are filling his role combined have less than half as many patents pending. Craig Federighi, who will lead OSX and iOS, has 16 patents pending. Jony Ive, who will lead interface design, has 51 pending.

It's important to note there's a key difference between patents from Ive, and Forstall. Ive's patents are design patents, which cover the look and feel of Apple's products. Forstall's are product patents that are at the core of how iOS works, according to Gill.

For instance, Forstall's name is second on the patent that lays out exactly how the iPhone and iPad work. The first name on that patent is Steve Jobs, Apple's late cofounder, who died last year. Now, Apple will have to carry on without either of them.

Forstall was a divisive character inside Apple. When he left, there was a spin that it was good for Apple because it was getting rid of a jerky manager. However, Forstall also had a lot of people who were loyal to him at Apple. And if some of the people he collaborated with decide to leave with him, Gill warns Apple could easily lose 5-6 of its most important inventors.

MDB

The table of Apple's inventors

Now, one could argue that just because Forstall's name is on a patent, doesn't necessarily mean he invented something. He had a reputation of managing up, and stealing credit for other people's work. Even if that's true, and somehow he managed to unfairly attach his name to half of these patents, he's still one of the most important people in Apple.

Reading over the patents with Forstall's name attached to them makes it clear he has his fingers in everything Apple is doing in mobile, says Gill.

MDB

Forstall's top collaborators

There was also a report that Forstall was out of ideas, and that's part of the reason he's out. Gill thinks that's laughable. He says Forstall was a "font of innovation at Apple."

Amazon iPad Mini Speakers - Business Insider

Amazon is slamming the iPad mini on its front page, doing a side by side comparison of Apple's tablet to the Kindle Fire HD.

There's one problem with the comparison, though. Amazon says the iPad mini has mono speakers, while the Kindle Fire HD has stereo speakers.

Turns out that's wrong. The Verge's Josh Topolsky said in his review the iPad mini has stereo speakers. And then on Twitter he confirmed it, saying, "People of Earth: Apple confirms iPad mini has STEREO SPEAKERS. As I note in my review."

He also said in his review, "And that's a good-sounding set of stereo speakers, by the way."

For what it's worth, in his review of the Kindle Fire HD he said the speakers aren't anywhere as great as what Amazon would have you believe, but "they do sound quite nice."

Anyway, looks like Amazon has to update this comparison:
