FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- Pilot Chris Kappler doesn't just take people up in the air in one of his vintage airplanes. He takes them for a spin in a time machine.
Wearing a crisp, white T-shirt underneath tan coveralls and sporting a classic 1940s modified military haircut, Kappler looks like he stepped out of an old movie newsreel. Seeing him stand next to his polished-to-a-mirror-shine 1948 Cessna 170 on a bright autumn morning when the grass was green and his airplane was shining, you'd swear you'd stepped inside the newsreel.
Smiling, Kappler acknowledged there's a point to all of that.
He said, "There is a certain Americana appeal to what we're doing here. I think we're highlighting the history of West Virginia and American history."
For the past three years, Kappler, originally from California, and his wife have run Wild Blue Adventure Co., a company at the Fayetteville airstrip that offers aerobatic and scenic rides in their brightly painted Stearman biplane.
The airstrip is the former home to Frank Thomas, the infamous "Five Dollar Frank," a colorful local pilot who gave sightseeing trips for years in an increasingly dilapidated Cessna 172. Frank charged five bucks per passenger.
"Yeah, we've heard all about him," Kappler said and grinned.
Since its creation, Wild Blue Adventure Co. has been a largely seasonal business for the Kapplers. Through the warmer months, Kappler has taken people up for aerial thrills and a bird's-eye tour of the New River Gorge. The blue and yellow aircraft is suited to warm temperatures and good weather, but not so much for rain, snow and cold.
"We don't get by on this," Kappler said. "We've got other jobs. I'm a pilot for HealthSouth, and my wife is an anesthetist."
But what he does with Wild Blue Adventure, he said, is the job of a lifetime.
"It's not what we expected," he said. "I expected more out-of-state tourists, but we've found we get a lot of people from inside the state."
They stop on their way along U.S. Route 19. They could see the biplane from the road. People would turn off and come see the plane. They'd bring their kids, and that has led to some awkward and occasionally heartrending moments.
The Kapplers charge $135 for a trip aboard the open-air biplane, but there are only two seats and one of them belongs to the pilot.
"It was awful," he said. "We'd have a family come up, all excited about taking a flight."
And then they'd hear the price -- $135 for one ticket to ride. Even as a treat, $135 times three or four is too much for most budgets to absorb.
Kappler said, "You'd have a 9-year-old boy with a broken heart just bawling his eyes out because they couldn't do that."
Watching disappointed families turn away over a ticket price was especially difficult for the Kapplers. They have children of their own -- six of them. Adding another service geared toward families just made sense, though Kappler pointed out it wasn't really about the money because they both have other jobs.
"You don't get rich flying these kind of planes," Kappler said.
Keeping with the rarefied feel of the air they travel in, the Kapplers purchased a restored Cessna 170 from a seller in California.
"It's kind of funny," Kappler said. "We looked at the manifest. The plane was originally housed in Bluefield. It was serviced at the Beckley airport."
Kappler and a friend flew the Cessna from California and across Texas before turning north in the Deep South to bring the plane home.
"With the biplane, I want to make people feel like they're Chuck Yeager, but with the Cessna, it's different. The trip is supposed to be relaxed, serene."
The Cessna 170 seats three plus the pilot, and while it's not the same kind of ride that the Stearman is, it is undeniably cool. The interior has been lovingly restored all the way down to the backseat ashtrays, which are only for show.
As a nod to the discrete use of modern technology, the plane is equipped with Bose headsets, which muffle the loud drone of the propeller and make conversation more polite than a shouting match.
Riding in the small, four-seat plane is like traveling by soap bubble. The tiny aircraft buoyed by winds cruises over the landscape, casting a tiny shadow on the treetops below.
"The plane was completely restored," Kappler added. "Old planes like Frank's, the glass got scratched and aged. It kind of looks dusty. This one has all-new glass. You can see everything."
The view is spectacular.
"This is my view of West Virginia," he said.
At a distance, with some of the details out of focus, it's easy to imagine Fayetteville and Oak Hill as they might have been 20 or 30 years ago. A couple of thousand feet up, it looks like nothing has changed, though there's plenty of evidence to the contrary.
Along the way, Kappler points out little items of interest: a school, the Ace Adventure Resort in Oak Hill and the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve.
"You have to see the Summit from here," he said. "There's just more to it than you imagine."
From the sky, the Scouts' reserve is a huge swatch of brown, but Kappler can imagine what it will be.
"It's going to change so many things around here."
And he wants to be a part of it. Kappler pointed out that the aviation merit badge was one of the first 57 badges introduced by the Boy Scouts.
"We'd like to sponsor that badge," Kappler said.
Trips in the Cessna are priced more modestly than what Wild Blue Adventure Co. charges for the biplane: $49 for children, $79 for adults.
"It's just a nice experience you can share," he said.
Plus, while the biplane is seasonal and limited to warm weather, the Cessna is not.
"Imagine seeing these hills when they're covered with new snow," Kappler suggested. "It's amazing."

The big balloons soared along with the crowd's spirits Thursday as the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade made its way through the streets of New York City.
Despite concerns that windy conditions would ground Snoopy, Spider-Man and 16 other giant balloons, the NYPD determined Thursday morning that the winds were calm enough to lift off.
"We thought they'd find a way to pull it off,'' said spectator John Mispagel, of San Jose, Calif. "It's really fun seeing so many people having such a great time.''
Balloon handlers kept a tight grip on their inflated characters, with winds about 26 mph.
The parade largely went off without a hitch, though Sonic the Hedgehog was briefly snagged in the branches of a tree and a spinning dreidel balloon temporarily deflated on a float meant to mark the start of Hanukkah, which fell on Thanksgiving for the first time in centuries.
Wind also had its way with the Spider-Man balloon, and tree punctured its left arm. Despite a small leak, the superhero made it through the parade.
Cheering throngs were bundled against a 30-degree chill, but the sun was shining. Some in the crowd lifted small children onto their shoulders.
An excited 9-year-old Lily Thomolaris, of Pittsburgh, was excited to "see all the balloons.'' But she thought a big turkey was especially cool.
Amy Kule, the parade's executive producer, said the 3.5 million spectators gathered to watch the annual affair would also see numerous floats, 900 clowns and 40 smaller balloons.
Balloons have only been grounded once in the parade's 87-year history, when bad weather kept them from flying in 1971.
The city enacted strict rules after fierce winds in 1997 caused a Cat in the Hat balloon to topple a light pole and seriously injure a spectator.

Add Haruna Anno, retro game idol and retro game museum curator, to the chorus of cries saying that Resident Evil has lost the plot.
Anno notes how Resident Evil is (er, was) the pinnacle of survival horror, and she seems upset that the series has gone from a survival horror game to a shooting game. "In short, because there's not that element of fear, that's basically saying, 'This doesn't even really need the Resident Evil moniker.'"
"At the very least, I want them to think about fear," she blogged. "Though, as a business, I think it's difficult to coordinate with the movies. But, perhaps the way it is now, Resident Evil will end at around RE7."
Anno isn't saying that Resident Evil *should* end, mind you. She's a fan of the series — and Capcom's games, too. However, RE sounds like it's getting worn, and perhaps it needs a refresh? A rethink? Or maybe a back to basics approach. That is, before it's too late.
In case you missed it, here's Kotaku's review of Resident Evil 6.

Pineapple and Chicken Quesadillas
Let me just tell you, Daylight Savings Time can not come soon enough for this girl! An extra hour of sun at night? Having sunlight for photos past 5:30?! It is going to be awesome and I am counting down the days (4 days if you were curious). Then pictures, like the ones of these Quesadillas, hopefully wont happen! I had about 10 minutes before the sun was gone and trying to beat the clock always makes me stress…which ends up with me taking crappy photos.
So while the photos may not show it, trust me when I say that these Grilled Pineapple and Chicken Quesadillas were fabulous! I had no leftovers for pictures the next day…and really can not wait to have these again! I loved the combination of flavors and all the fresh ingredients in these. In case you missed it, check out how to easily break down and grill your pineapple for the recipe below!
Grilled Pineapple and Chicken Quesadillas
8 whole Flour Tortillas
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups Grilled Pineapple, chopped
3 cups shredded chicken
Salt And Pepper, to taste
3 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, Grated
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup black beans
1 whole Jalapeno, Sliced (seeded if you want to cut the heat)
3 Tablespoons Barbecue Sauce
Warm griddle over medium heat and put sizzling butter or margarine in the pan. Slightly warm and toast tortillas on both sides, then remove from griddle and set aside.
To assemble, sprinkle four browned tortillas with grated Monterey Jack. Arrange chicken slices evenly over the surface. Add pineapple slices and jalapeno slices. Sprinkle on cilantro, corn, and beans. Drizzle barbecue sauce over the top. Add second browned tortilla on top of each one. (You'll have four complete quesadillas at this point.)
Add to oven to warm, or back to skillet to warm, until cheese is melted. Cut each quesadilla into six wedges. Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo, and lime wedges.

This is a post for Dutch speaking people who have read the blog "Klokke Belfort" and came here.
Peter Vereecke posted a link to Simon Shack's film "September Clues" on his blog on 5/2/2015.
It can be very confusing because Peter doesn't understand the real message of September Clues.
He sees some evidence of media fakery but he still believes most of the lies that the media and the alternative media are telling him.
Just look around on this forum and make up your own mind.

There's an imminent wine shortage upon us, according to a report released on Monday by Morgan Stanley Research.
Global supply barely exceeded demand last year. Non-wine uses (such as Vermouth) included, there was actually an undersupply of 300 million cases worldwide, according to the report. This is the largest shortfall of wine production in almost 50 years.
Some factors that account for the shortage include poor weather, which lead to a weak harvest last year. This year showed marked improvements, but despite the fact that wine production in 2013 is rising to seven-year highs, according to the International Organization of Vine and Wine, Morgan Stanley Research says that it will take more than a single harvest to close the gap.
With global wine consumption on the rise since the late '90s, world production hasn't been able to keep pace for quite a while, showing a downward trend since the early 2000s.
Last year alone, world production fell by more than 5 percent.
In Europe, production fell 10 percent since 2012, while consumption rose by one percent, according to the data published by the report.
This is significant given Europe is the biggest supplier of the world's wine, accounting for 60 percent of production. They suffered a 25 percent decline since 2004, according to the report.
There are approximately one billion wine producers globally, producing 2.8 billion cases per year, half of which come from Europe.
America consumes 12 percent of the world's wine, but produces only 8 percent, according to the report. American wineries have "expanded dramatically" in the last 15 years, but most are boutique operators rather than major producers.
Looking toward the future, the report projects that the U.S. and China will consume over 400 million cases of wine a piece by 2016.
Wine is most popular in France, followed by America, then China.
The report showed output from "new world" producers like U.S., Argentina, Chile, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa have peaked. Together they account for less than 30 percent of global wine exports.

This is the post I was going to write before the discussion that led to CICS VSAM Buffering arose. It's about getting more insight into how WLM is set up and performing than RMF Workload Activity Report data alone allows. I recognise some of this can be done with the WLM policy in hand.

By Marcia Z. Nelson | Jan 18, 2013
Publishers Weekly
Call them "nones"; call them "unaffiliated." The "young and the secular" fits well, too. The terminology is perhaps imprecise, but the reality is measurable, big, and growing. This group has been in the public and media eye recently, following the release in October of a report by the Pew Research Center, which put the number of people in the U.S. population with no religious affiliation at 20%. The unaffiliated include a smaller group that describes itself as atheist or agnostic, and a larger portion that describes itself as "nothing in particular." When the unaffiliated are broken into age groups, their numbers rise sharply among the young. A third of adults under 30 say they have no religious affiliation, whereas only one in10 people 65 and older fit into that category.
But a lack of religious affiliation does not necessarily indicate the absence of religious behavior or practices. When researchers asked about beliefs and practices, they found that more than two-thirds of the unaffiliated believe in God or a universal spirit, and more than 40% of them pray. In addition, more than half either described themselves as "religious" or "spiritual but not religious." This phenomenon is, of course, especially significant for religion and spirituality publishers. Does the growth of the unaffiliated shrink their markets? Are they worried? A number of publishers weighed in on this question, with thoughts about how they see the nones, how they see their publishing programs in relation to the religiously unaffiliated, and whether it keeps them up at night wondering about their futures.
Among the Evangelicals
It would seem this trend might be especially worrisome for evangelical Christian publishers like Howard Books (located in Nashville, Tenn., but owned by Simon & Schuster). But no worries—publisher Jonathan Merkh and editor-in-chief Becky Nesbitt understand the nones to be people who object to institutional religion and hierarchy. "People feel like religions are too caught up with money or power," says Merkh, who says he is Anglican and is comfortable with a describing himself as spiritual but not religious, a term that came into common usage back in the '90s. Howard has published titles that resonate with this group. "We are hearing from them in response to books like Kisses from Katie" by Katie Davis, Nesbitt says. That kind of book shows "people making a difference but not being overtly Christian or beating you over the head" with proselytizing, Merkh adds. The elements of "making a difference" and having an authentic voice and commitment are particularly appealing to unaffiliated readers, who are also an educated audience. "Their tastes can be very broad and not constrained," Merkh says. "I think the nones are just as likely to read Fifty Shades of Grey as [they are to read] Karen Kingsbury. They don't have a voice in their head telling them it's wrong." Hitting that market is a challenge, but offers Howard the promise of new audiences. "We're not publishing away from the evangelical market," says Merkh. "We're just casting a broader net."
Chad Allen, editorial director at Baker Books, an evangelical house in Grand Rapids, Mich., is intrigued by just how much faith he sees apart from organized religion. Baker published You Lost Me by David Kinnaman in 2011; the book analyzes why young evangelical Christians are losing the faith they were raised in. For Allen, the problem is that many see the Christian church as irrelevant. "The old approaches won't do, at least not in their traditional forms," he says. Last year, Baker sent a survey to 15,000 of its readers; 13% of respondents selected the category "other" when asked to describe their faith tradition. Allen is struck by how nontraditional that choice is in the evangelical subculture, as is the spiritual-but-not-religious choice of 3%. This convinces Allen that religious forms are changing, "not the substance necessarily," he says. So he wants to publish books that will help the Christian church see what it needs to look like, sometimes literally—Emergence Christianity by Phyllis Tickle (2012) includes a photo essay of new congregations and religious objects—in order to help people live faithfully. "What we're very interested in pursuing is, how do we live as faithfully orthodox Christians in these intensely, deeply changing times?" Allen says. "It's not just about adding a coffee shop to your church."
Changing times lead to changing publishing programs. Jericho Books is a new Nashville-based imprint from Hachette, whose 11-year-old FaithWords imprint has an evangelical audience. Launched in fall 2102 and led by publisher Wendy Grisham, Jericho is gathering an audience that defies and resists religious labels. "You've got everything from nondispensational-premillennial-Anglican-follower-of-Jesus to it-takes-you-two-lines-to-tell-what-your-faith-is," Grisham says. "A lot of people have rejected 'Christian.' " Jericho's launch list includes Brian McLaren, known for his work on emergent Christianity (a kind of postmodern version of Christianity that has come into vogue over the past several years), and Justin Lee, a gay author who wouldn't be welcome in the most conservative Christian churches, or with most evangelical publishers. "One of the things I hope for when people look at the Jericho Books list is authenticity," Grisham says. "Some of the 20- and 30-year-olds are just sick of going to church. People are not necessarily leaving their faith, but their religion." Grisham has given a lot of thought to the important question of how to reach an audience that doesn't hang out in churches. "So much of this community is online," she said. Author Shane Hipps, for example, did a Google Hangout that included giveaways and attracted more than 200 people. Grisham says Jericho has invested in its Web site and social media and is working with a company to maximize online outreach and opportunities.
Another new imprint is gestating at Random House's evangelical unit, WaterBrook/Multnomah, in Colorado Springs, Colo. Convergent Books will debut in fall 2013, publishing to a more progressive Christian audience. Steve Cobb, president and publisher, says the new imprint might appeal to some of the nones, though that's not part of the publishing strategy and house identity, which he describes as unapologetically Christian. "We will still be Christian in our foundations within Convergent," Cobb says. "We can extend our audience further into Christendom, and likely we're going to touch people in this new imprint who may not be affiliated in a conventional sense." Cobb says the new imprint will emphasize social justice and faith in action, and he hopes it will appeal to those under 30, where lack of affiliation is highest. "Publishing to that younger demographic, whether we would admit it or not, has been more challenging," he says.
Spiritual and Wellness Imprints
For other kinds of publishers, creating books for the religiously unaffiliated is nothing new. White Cloud Press's eclectic line of spirituality and wellness books comprises titles on Islam, including its attention-getting I Speak for Myself series of essay collections by young American Muslims, as well as poetry and nature books. Sales are up for the Ashland, Ore.–based house. "I come from this region that has been at the forefront of saying that institutional religion is not something that attracts people," says publisher Steve Scholl. For Scholl, both publishing and personal history suggest that organized religion is playing itself out, and the rise of the nones is part of a trajectory of gradual change. "It will be a long-term process of people abandoning religion but not the spiritual quest," Scholl says. "We're meaning-seeking creatures." Scholl is especially emphatic that spirituality is not an evasion of the discipline that proponents of organized religion say is lacking among the spiritual-but-not-religious cohort. "I see unaffiliated people every day who are very serious about their spiritual lives," he says.
It's also life as usual at Shambhala Publications, which specializes in books about Buddhism and other Eastern wisdom traditions that have taken hold in America over the past half-century. "We have always been publishing to people who are seeking," says publisher Julie Saidenberg. "I think in general our books are not about affiliation; they're about a practice you do on your own." Shambhala knows the turf, but faces the challenge of renewing an older audience, since interest in Western Buddhism is primarily a baby boomer phenomenon. The Buddha Walks into a Bar by Lodro Rinzler (2012) has worked well for the publisher to reach a younger generation that shies away from religious belonging. The book's message doesn't urge the reader to sign up for anything; "You don't have to say, 'OK, I'm a Buddhist,' " Saidenberg notes. Another challenge for Shambhala has been finding the watering holes where seekers and the unaffiliated gather. The house sells books direct and does a lot of direct mail outreach to customers. "We haven't been so great at finding out where the Buddhists are hanging out online," Saidenberg says. "It's frustrating."
The 30-year-old Beyond Words imprint is happy to see the rest of the culture catch up with its readers. The house, which began as a small indie but is now in partnership with Atria Books, made its mark with The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (2006), which has sold more than 21 million copies. "The nones have, in essence, always been around, but now this group has been given a name with certain distinct characteristics," says Cynthia Black, president and editor-in-chief. Those characteristics include a willingness to see connections among science, spirituality, religion, and health. "We have found that the readers in this movement look for tools and practices to follow their own personal spiritual quest, whether affiliated with a religious group or not," Black says.
Call it secularization, personalized faith, meaning seeking, or "none" of the above. Publishers of religion and spirituality books probably need not worry—if fewer people look to institutional religions for guidance and inspiration, might not more of them seek it in books?

Robin Williams' brilliant irreverence and unparalleled talent for improvisation and impersonation shone on NBC over the years — spanning more than a dozen visits to "The Tonight Show" alongside Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, jokes with Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night," hosting duties on "Saturday Night Live" and mornings with the "Today" show family.
Williams, then 30, made his first appearance on "The Tonight Show" on Oct. 14, 1981, promoting the fourth season of "Mork & Mindy" and his upcoming film "The World According to Garp."
A decade later, hardly anything could keep Williams sitting in his seat, as he preferred to jump up every other minute with one impersonation after another, before discussing his transition into a more serious role for the film "Awakenings," which earned him a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a drama.
A temporarily blonde Williams appeared on Carson's final night hosting "The Tonight Show," on May 21, 1992, talking about the political gaffes of the day and jokingly urging Carson to run for political office.
Williams dropped by "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on May 25, 2011, and discussed his affinity for video games — especially "Call of Duty."
Get More: Comedy Central
Williams joined Jay Leno on August 8, 2013, to talk about returning to television after 32 years to star in CBS' "The Crazy Ones," reminiscing about the early days of "Mork & Mindy" and trying to make a name for himself in television.
Throughout his prolific career in film and television, Williams never left his roots in stand-up comedy. The monologue he gave during his first time hosting "Saturday Night Live" in 1984 showed his proclivity for the art form.
On Tuesday, "Today" aired a special collection of clips from Williams' many appearances on "Today," and the kindness he showed every member of the crew and fans outside Rockefeller Center.

Editor's Note: After this article went to press in the autumn of 2004, SpaceShipOne climbed to 367,442 feet and won the $10 million Ansari X Prize. Brian Binnie was at the controls. After landing, he told a reporter from Space.com that the flight "couldn't have been any smoother."
A test pilot's job is simple: climb into an unproven flying machine, flip on the engine, and wait for something to go wrong. The first time Brian Binnie flight-tested SpaceShipOne – the only reusable civilian spacecraft ever to make it out of the earth's atmosphere – he ran into trouble right from the start.
A specially built jet carries SpaceShipOne to its launch altitude of 48,000 feet, then drops it, and as soon as Binnie started falling, he couldn't get control of the vehicle. The ground crew had only half-filled SpaceShipOne's oxidizer tank – it was just a short test flight, after all – and the nitrous oxide had begun sloshing around, throwing the flyweight plane off balance. Then, when Binnie hit the red ignition switch to fire the rocket, he discovered that the horizontal stabilizers, which are preset to force SpaceShipOne into an immediate climb, were set too steep. With 15,000 pounds of thrust kicking him from behind, he was suddenly hanging onto the stick for dear life…and that only pulled the plane into a steeper climb. Nearing the sound barrier, Binnie thought, Why is this bull so angry at me, and why am I here?
Things didn't get any better on the descent. When he touched down at the Civilian Flight Test Center in Mojave, California, part of the landing gear broke off, sending the little craft screeching off the runway into the desert dirt.
At around 3,000 pounds, SpaceShipOne weighs the same as a Honda Accord. It looks like something built from spare parts in your garage, a kid's version of a spaceship. The kid, though, is 61-year-old Burt Rutan, one of the world's greatest aircraft designers. His company, Scaled Composites, has produced a string of unconventional birds over the last two decades, including the Boomerang, an asymmetrical turboprop that Rutan still flies himself, and the feather-light Voyager, the first plane to circle the globe without refueling. He also works on military prototypes, including an unmanned, carrier-launched stealth drone and an astronaut escape capsule for the International Space Station.
With the financial backing of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, Rutan was a natural contender for the Ansari X Prize, the $10 million purse promised to the first piloted, privately funded spaceship that gets 62 miles above the earth and back, then repeats the trick inside two weeks. Despite a harrowing test flight earlier that summer (during which the pilot, Mike Melvill, experienced some unexpected rolls), Rutan announced that his company would attempt to win the prize with back-to-back space shots. One of the pilots on board was Brian Binnie.
Binnie joined the navy in 1978, after finishing Ivy League degrees in aerospace engineering, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, and aeronautical engineering. He flew attack jets, and like most navy pilots he considered an assignment to the space shuttle the highest calling. "You're not going to beat a shuttle ride," he says, "in terms of harnessing all that energy and being responsible for a national asset." But after the loss of the Challenger in 1986, opportunities began to dry up. "The handwriting was on the wall: Even if you were fortunate enough to get in, there may not be much going on." So he applied to Navy Test Pilot School.
A navy test pilot has two options: go operational and fight wars, or move to the acquisitions side and evaluate new weapons. Binnie did both. He signed up for the Gulf War. "I thought that was going to be tough to beat, operationally." As a strike team leader on the first night of the war, he flew one of 350 allied aircraft. "It was unforgettable how that country woke up once it realized it was under attack. All these bright colors are coming up" – that would be anti-aircraft fire – "and everything looks like it has your name all over it. It was pretty disconcerting."
Binnie's interest in exotic aircraft was rekindled soon afterward, during a combat night patrol over the Persian Gulf. On the horizon, in what was supposed to be a no-fly zone, Binnie saw an unidentified aircraft streaking high and fast toward him. He pulled his F/A-18 into a vertical climb to track the thing, but despite having one of the best long-range radars in the business, he couldn't get a lock. This meant the plane was at extremely high altitude, and as it disappeared over the horizon, moving much too fast to be any kind of stealth fighter or bomber, Binnie watched it go through all the colors of the rainbow – a sign that it was near the outer edge of the atmosphere. He saw the same thing the following night, so he asked around the fleet. He got no answer, and his best guess is that he was seeing one of the long-rumored and top-secret Aurora spy planes, a hypersonic jet thought to have replaced the old Blackbird series. "It gives me confidence," he says, "that there's bigger and better stuff out there that we don't know about."
After the war Binnie was entrusted with all the flying on a $10 billion "dark project" at Point Mugu Naval Base, but when the nineties tech boom hit he hooked up with a start-up called Rotary Rocket, which was trying to develop a reusable manned spaceship for launching telecom satellites. Rotary's idea was to build a big, conical spaceship for two pilots that would reenter the atmosphere with its fat tail down and then unfurl big helicopter blades from its top. The blades would have no engine – they would simply start spinning as a result of the downward drag and eventually slow the vehicle. Minutes before touchdown the pilots would fire tip rockets on the blades and bring the ship in for a soft landing.
The chance to fly a brand new, utterly revolutionary vehicle was like a dream come true to Binnie, and it was a way to finally get into space. Binnie quit the navy and flew the Rotary prototype, piloting the world's first – and probably last – 60-foot-tall conical helicopter. When Rotary ran out of money, Burt Rutan stepped in and offered Binnie his next dream job.
The three big challenges of space flight are getting off the ground, reentering the earth's atmosphere, and landing. NASA's space shuttle needs gargantuan booster rockets to do the first part – the very ones that exploded in the 1986 Challenger disaster – and its reentry speed of 17,800 mph requires the heat-shielding tiles that failed in last year's Columbia tragedy. SpaceShipOne has a more limited mission: It goes only to the edge of space, not into orbit, and it seats only three. But that doesn't make it any less ingenious. After SpaceShipOne reaches its target altitude and starts falling back to earth, the pilot pulls a lever to fold the back half of its wings into what Rutan calls a "feathered" position. Simple aerodynamics flips SpaceShipOne into a belly-first, nose-up fall, with so much drag that the plane floats down slowly, like a badminton shuttlecock, without heating up. Once back in the atmosphere the pilot returns the wings to their normal position and lands SpaceShipOne like a glider.
After so many years in the world's most sophisticated jets, Binnie finds it ironic to climb behind the joystick of a flying a vehicle with fewer electronic components than the X-1 in which Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in 1947. Binnie says, "If somebody had told me when I was in graduate school, 'Brian, in 35 years you'll get a chance to fly the first commercial spacecraft with no computers,' I'd have said, 'I don't think so. People are not going to be that stupid.' "
SpaceShipOne is a shockingly simple machine. The pilot steers with a stick and foot pedals, and most of the flight control surfaces – the wing and tail flaps – are manually driven, using rods and levers. Even bailing out of SpaceShipOne is not complicated: Release nose cone. Climb through hole. Jump.
On September 29, 2004, just three days ahead of the only other close competitor for the X Prize, it will be time to "mount that bull and guide it through the gates," as Binnie says, demonstrating to the world that Scaled Composites has a reliable reusable civilian spaceship, open for business. Once Binnie climbs into that cockpit and tucks his feet into the nose cone, he'll be thinking what he says every test pilot thinks: "Oh, dear God, please don't let me screw up."

Q. Which organisations are involved in the 'Team Badger and why did you decide to form?
A. Team Badger is a coalition of organisations who have teamed up to fight the planned cull of badgers. The coalition consists of the RSPCA, Save Me Trust,
League Against Cruel Sports, Humane Society International/UK, Stroud 100, Gloucestershire Against Badger Shooting, Animal Aid, Network for Animals, IFAW, David Shepherd foundation, Conservatives against the Badger Cull, Born Free and Peta and is growing daily. We are united in our opposition to government plans to cull badgers in a misguided attempt to control the spread of bovineTB. If the badger cull does go ahead as planned at least 70% of the badger population in large areas of the country will be killed, many of them healthy. We simply cannot let that happen.

The Binding of Isaac "meant to fail", rescued by hardcore fans
The Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen has revealed that he released the rogue-like expecting it to be a flop, only to have it taken up and promoted by legions of passionate fans.
In a post-mortem on Gamasutra, McMillen said the dark adventure was "made to clash against mainstream games" and "designed to be a niche hit at best".
"From any mainstream marketing perspective, I designed Isaac to fail – and that was my goal from the start," he said.
After the success and slog of Super Meat Boy, McMillen felt he was in a financial position to make a small project for the fun and challenge of it, with no mind to profit. The Binding of Isaac was born of a week long game jam and completed in about three months.
For the first few weeks post-launch, the game averaged around 150 sales a day, which was already more then McMillen had expected – but five months after release, sales suddenly picked up.
"Our daily average started to climb. 200 copies per day turned into 500 copies, then 1,000 copies, and by the seven-month mark Isaac was averaging sales of more than 1,500 copies a day and climbing," the developer revealed.
"I couldn't explain it – we hadn't put the game on sale or anything, so I was clueless as to why sales were continuing to grow."
The answer was on YouTube where a passionate group of players had begun promoting the game through Let's Play videos, showing off unique builds created by the random equipment drops and strategies for beating bosses.
"Over 100 videos every day, each getting tons of traffic. Isaac had found its fanbase, and that base was growing larger and larger. Not bad for a game that was meant to fail," McMillen noted.
"At the time of this writing, there are well over 30,000 videos of Isaac on YouTube, countless pieces of fan art, animations, and plush toys all over the Internet, and over 30 fictional fan blogs where people can ask characters in Isaac questions and get in-character responses. It's totally surreal. Something in Isaac just spoke to a large group of creative people, and they held him up and ran with him," he added.
The full post-mortem is quite interesting; McMillen discusses the technical limitations of Flash which hindered the game, the horror of a bug-riddled launch, and the game's creative origins. It was also home to the announcement of a console version.

Maine Congressman Michaud declares he's gay
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Mike Michaud, a Democrat from Maine, disclosed Monday that he is gay.
Michaud, who is running for governor, declared his sexual orientation in op-ed columns in the Portland Press Herald and Bangor Daily News, Maine's two largest newspapers. He did so to address what he called the "whisper campaigns" being waged by political opponents about his personal life.
"Allow me to save them the trouble with a simple, honest answer: Yes, I am. But why should it matter?" wrote Michaud, who is 58 and single. "That may seem like a big announcement to some people. For me, it's just a part of who I am, as much as being a third-generation millworker or a lifelong Mainer. One thing I do know is that it has nothing to do with my ability to lead the state of Maine."
Michaud becomes the seventh openly gay or bisexual member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., is the only openly gay senator.
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who is gay, congratulated Michaud for "coming out, living honestly" in a post on Twitter.
"My #gaydar missed it, but happy to welcome @RepMikeMichaud to team #lgbt," Polis tweeted.
Michaud's disclosure comes as the Senate takes up a bill Monday that would ban workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act, known by its acronym ENDA, fell one vote short of passage in 1996.
Michaud was first elected to the House in 2002, and is viewed as the Democrats' best hope for winning the governor's race in 2014. Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who has attracted controversy for some of his statements, is considered one of the most vulnerable governors in the country. Independent Eliot Cutler is also running.
More than 25% of Maine's residents consider themselves to be Roman Catholic, as does Michaud.
The last sitting member of Congress to come out as gay was Republican Jim Kolbe of Arizona in 1996. Kolbe retired from the House in January 2007.

The most popular trends are the fusion style programs that blend the best of yoga and
spinning, or pilates and strength… these approaches keep the interest of the
participant and yield a more personalized approach to fitness.
pros – keeps your interest and builds better balance through a "cross training effect"
of hitting muscles differently than the same muscle patterns; also can find lots of these
types of classes on video now. Check collagevideos.com for reviews and information.
However,there are so many NEW classes on the market… drums alive, kettlebells, Latin
Dance (Zumba), Hoopnotica (hula hoop) BUT online programs are not only becoming more
popular and are showing great success with the online user. Some are free and some cost
$$ but tried and true if the you gets engaged they will find success. To mention a few:
www.weightwatchers.com, ediets.com, fitover40.com, ifit.com and FREE programs too like
Fitness Magazine has an eblast for losing weight, Mission Foods has an eblast for living
a balanced life through fitness and nutrition, USA Today's online weight loss challenege,
fitnessonline.com's tips and tricks and Go to my website and fill out the contact form
with NEW YOU and I will send you a 30 day workout, shopping list and menu plan from my
upcoming book: ALL FREE!
pros – they are minimal cost and only a laptop away
cons – you have be digital to utilize; if you don't have access to a computer and the
library is your only access, you will find it hard to have success with these
What's surprising for people to learn about these fitness trends or exercising in general
is that we are re-marketing fitness to find something that the consumer will like and
engage in~ that being said, there will always be on more products, classes, or an
instructor that hits a chord in the public and they will jump into it! Which is great as
long as it gets people moving and out of their chairs. Once you find something that is
fun, it no longer becomes a chore but a part of your routine. AND another interesting
tidbit, I believe many people do not exercise because of the time they perceive it takes
to get better health and a better body. Ten minutes is my magic number and I don't even
have to leave the house. I set the kitchen timer and dance, speed clean or run the
stairs on the days I know I won't make it to the gym~we are all multi-tasking more than
ever-me too!

I caught this from an academic article, "The Later Tanzimat and the Ottoman Legacy in the Near Eastern Successor States":-
The period of Ottoman decline (from approximately the late seventeenth- to the early nineteenth-century), the system of checks and balances was grossly undermined and arbitrary and despotic government prevailed both at the center and in the provinces. In the later Tanzimat period (1856–71), by contrast, the emphasis was placed on strong state organs and a powerful bureaucracy, armed with a new set of laws borrowed from western legal systems. The maintenance of law and order in the cities and towns was performed by an officer called a subashi, who was one of the kadi's prominent aides and who was "a legal police and a high security official with executive authority". The kadi's deputies also came from the local'ulama, whether in the principal court where he presided or in the neighborhood courts of big cities or in towns throughout the province.
But don't forget, the Ottoman Empire became an empire in 1453.
So, from 1453-1918 it existed while from "approximately the late seventeenth- to the early nineteenth-century it was in decline". Which means out of 500 years existence, it was in decline some 300 years.
Not that good.

So, it's that time of the year again. Tonight one of these posters will join the big list.
Not the best set of posters ever, but not the worst either. No eyesores at least.
If I were to base my rooting on the posters I would either by hoping for an Hugo win (joyous, colorful, lively) or for a Tree of Life win (simple clean, but emotionally powerful image). But whichever film wins, it won't be a truly great addition to the list, but it will probably be above the average of the posters for the winners of the last few years.

REALiS WX450ST Pro AV
The REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector features high performance WXGA+ (1440 x 900) resolution and a throw ratio of 0.57:1, enabling the projection of a 7 foot wide screen from just under 4 feet away. With an output of 4500 lumens, 2000:1 contrast ratio and advanced AISYS technology, the WUX400ST delivers outstanding color richness and image brightness and clarity, and is well suited for wide screen graphics, text and HD video presentations.
Ideal for a wide variety of applications in both the corporate and the higher education fields, the WX450ST is full of outstanding features including 4 Point Keystone Correction and USB based playback of JPEG image files directly from a thumb drive, without a PC connected. A built in edge blend processor allows for the display of multi-projector seamless large images. The "Picture by Picture" feature allows for the simultaneous use of high quality digital video inputs (HDMI and DVI) in split screen mode.
The WX450ST projector offers installation flexibility, exceptional optics and wide range of features that will deliver brilliantly in some of the most challenging environments.
The REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector brings together in one unit the ability to fill a big screen with brilliant quality images while simultaneously offering flexible installation options.
Throw Ratio
From large conference rooms and auditoriums to houses of worship and museums, users of the WX450ST can appreciate its short throw of 0.57:1 that is capable of filling up a large 7 foot screen from as close as only 4 feet away. And this capability comes along with beautifully rendered images and video, without sacrificing clarity, brightness or color reproduction.
Mechanical Lens Shift
The WX450ST is an extremely flexible projector that works well under a diverse range of installation scenarios to meet your organization's specific requirements. Its built-in, mechanical lens shift is capable of a wide range. Vertically, the projector's shift range can be set from 0 to 75%. Horizontally, it can be adjusted from between +/- 10%.
Fixed Top Zoom Function
In the past, it has sometimes been difficult to fully utilize the zoom feature in an installation projector, as you would have to tilt the projector. Doing so would result in a distorted, trapezoidal picture or video that would then require keystone correction - at the cost of image quality.
The WX450ST helps make this challenge a thing of the past! With its fixed top zoom function, users can easily zoom in or out while maintaining the height of the projection position. Lowering the position of the projected image or video can be as simple as adjusting the unit's mechanical lens shift function.
The REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector allows your audiences to view presentations and videos as you intended - with striking clarity and brightness, and stunningly beautiful crisp colors across the spectrum in striking high-definition.
Native WXGA+ Resolution (1440 x 900)
Let your presentations, video demonstrations and pictures come alive with the WX450ST. Its native WXGA+ widescreen high resolution (1440 x 900) in the 16:10 aspect ratio delivers incredibly clear imagery that your audiences can appreciate as they become engaged in your message and enjoy their viewing experience.
4500 Lumens
The WX450ST produces a bright 4500 lumens and boasts a 2000:1 contrast ratio that allows you to project life-like, beautiful and virtually distortion-free images, presentations and video to your audience. Despite its high lumen count, presenters will not need to be concerned about glare, as the projector's light does not enter the field of vision, allowing the user to focus on the presentation - not on glare.
Canon's proprietary AISYS 5.0 optical engine, in combination with the WX450ST's 4500 lumens, enhances contrast and brightness through improved light management compared to our previous AISYS optical engine, and is capable of projecting onto screens of up to 110" without sacrificing the high image and HD video quality that your audience deserves. Additional value can be found with its wide range lens shift (Vertical: 0% to 75%; Horizontal: +/- 10%) and its image reformation projective optical system. Canon's optical technology helps minimize the ghosting and chromatic irregularities.
Genuine Canon Lens
The same optical technology developed for our acclaimed EOS series of SLR cameras is reflected in the development of our projection lenses. The 1.35x Electronic Zoom Lens fitted to the WX450ST, in combination with its superb image processing, helps this projector to deliver image quality to your screen that is truly remarkable.
Image Processing
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, it's smart to make each one vibrant and memorable! The WX450ST can make this challenge simple. In order to check for proper installation alignment and aspect ratio setting, the unit includes built-in test patterns that enable PC-less calibration without a test pattern generator.
When two projectors are necessary in order to effectively communicate your entire presentation, the WX450ST's built-in edge blending processor seamlessly combines the two projected images. The unit is capable of overlapping 0-960 horizontal pixels and 0-600 vertical pixels. Canon's easy to use, built-in processor corrects for over brightness within the intersected areas for seamless projection. Its low TV distortion (0.1%) supplies crisp, beautiful and uniform horizontal and vertical blending.
Finally, high image quality is achieved through the use of LCOS technology, to help ensure the most advanced grayscale capable of producing extremely sharp, distinct and smooth highlights and shadows.
The REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector is the smallest projector in its class. It measures 13.3" x 4.6" x 16.4" (WxHxD) and weighs a mere 13.4 lbs., contributing to its remarkable flexibility in installation. The unit can also be installed vertically, in order to provide even greater installation flexibility in the tightest of spaces - allowing you to maximize your installation options without compromising image quality.
The WX450ST can be a replacement solution for telephoto and ultra telephoto installations, installed at a short distance from the screen, filling the screen with an image of the same size and brightness as the telephoto lens model it replaces, with less lumens required, for greater efficiency.
The REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector offers a wide range of installation options.
Front or Rear Projection
Owing to its short throw ratio (0.57:1), the Canon WX450ST makes for an ideal unit for both front and rear projection.
Utilized as a front installed projector, its built-in lens shift function can enable virtually distortion-free images and videos without the distraction of a bright glare, as its light does not enter into the presenter's line of vision, making this an ideal short-throw projector for lecture halls and large meeting rooms. Because of this, on-screen shadows are virtually eliminated!
As a rear installed projector, the WX450ST D's short throw ratio becomes a great solution for space-restricted areas, such as surveillance rooms, events and simulations.
Telephoto / Ultra Telephoto Applications
The WX450ST is an excellent replacement choice for units normally used in telephoto and ultra telephoto applications. This type of installation, at the rear of a room, on a high tower or ceiling mounted, can be costly and require significant work and time to install. Long cable runs can also reduce image quality. Say goodbye to these challenges. The WX450ST can be a cost-effective alternative, taking less time and effort to install. Making use of less expensive, shorter cables can save money, without sacrificing high quality resolution, clarity or ease of use.
For greater flexibility, double the brightness and even larger projected images and videos, two WX450ST projectors can be stacked. Even with two units, its compact and lightweight design makes it possible for the pair to fit into areas where many other projectors could not be as easily accommodated.
Ceiling Mounting
The light weight and compact size of the WX450ST helps makes a ceiling installation an easier task. Optional feet can be fitted on the unit for an inverted mount.
The WX450ST can also be installed vertically for greater flexibility and convenience.
Easy Maintenance
In Canon comparative testing, the WX450ST consumed less than .079W per lumen. This low ratio helps to extend the life of its lamp to 3,000 hours (or 4,500 hours in Eco Mode). Furthermore, its filter design provides for up to a lengthy 12,000 hours of operation before needing replacement.
Both the lamp and the unit's air filters can be easily replaced while the projector is installed - even if ceiling mounted, in order to greatly enhance ease of use, ease of maintenance and simplicity.
Flexible use, cost-efficiencies and high performance merge into one, behind the networking power and simplicity of the REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector.
Control Over IP
Included in the WX450ST is a full suite of network features including full control over IP. Power management, usage tracking and control can be done over the onboard LAN port for up to 250 projectors on the network - a boon for schools or in trade show applications. Operate, track, monitor and generate operating reports for your organization with ease. Integrated Creston Room View support is also provided.
Another key network feature is the content streaming capability. Without dedicated software, one or more PCs can connect to the WX450ST over a standard LAN to share content.
Simultaneous Multi-Screen Projection (Picture by Picture)
The WX450ST has a built-in processor to show up to 4 different screens simultaneously, using both HDMI and DVI digital video inputs. This can be done within a room, or in multiple locations, helping to simplify installation.
Projecting without a PC is possible with the REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector. The projector includes a USB memory stick slot and pre-installed support for MS Office files, Adobe PDFs, and select image, video and audio files. You will enjoy flexibility and convenience to showcase your work under a wide range of presentation scenarios and requirements.
USB Port Memory Sticks
A USB port located in the back of the unit allows you the flexibility and convenience to make presentations without a PC. The USB port can also be utilized to update the unit's firmware, so that you may never need to uninstall your projector - which could save you valuable time.
JPEG Image Support
Business professionals, university educators and others that rely on JPEG images to communicate a richer and more fully realized presentation will appreciate the WX450ST's support of this format through the use of the USB memory stick port. The projector's new image processor races to deliver most images in less than 2 seconds, without the need for a PC computer.
Built-In Speaker
In presentation spaces and situations where an external sound system is not available, the WX450ST projector features an integrated 5W monaural speaker that delivers crisp, beautiful sound, even at a high volume. Whether you need to showcase an audio file or to play a movie for your listening audience, you will not need either a PC computer or peripheral components to do so.
Your audience wants to hear you - not the projector. The REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector operates at only 38dB, so this is not a problem. Switch the unit to Power Saver and the noise level drops to only 32dB.
The REALiS WX450ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector is backed by Canon USA's Projector and Lamp Limited Warranty, which guarantees that it will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for 3 years from the date of original purchase, and the Lamp for 120 days from the date of original purchase.
